#2022 - Ігри
Rush has always had a underground culture following. During the eighties while all the other bands had to use commercials to fill the seats. Rush never advertised and always sold out. Once you experience Rush live, you were a fan for life.
You two are a big reason I’m ‘into’ pinball. Don’t own one yet myself $$ but love watching your content and definitely have a perfect home lineup built in my head.
As most would agree we love the content and can’t wait for more!
Can never go wrong with pinball as it is a great investment. Had a chance to get a Adams family for 2k in 2007 I just started moving and a few weeks later it was gone and the kicker was it was in like new condition with little playtime on it. You can't touch that pin today for that price. I should of grabbed it and put it in storage until I was settled in and still kicking myself in 2023!
I’m curious to know what lineup you got in your head. Got a dream lineup but trying to limit myself to 3 is hard xD
Nothing wrong with that at all. Take your time, play on location, and keep hanging out here with us. We appreciate the support and glad you’re enjoying the hobby! And yeah, we wanna know your thoughts on perfect home lineup!
@@d-party4 amen! Haha it’s tough. Which game you have now?
@@SDTM None yet! I'm down for a Godzilla Premium with you all later this year. I played a Jurassic Park Pro a few days ago that I really enjoyed so I think that or the Premium will be my #2. As far as a #3, I'm currently leaning towards an Attack From Mars remake if I can find one or a Medieval Madness but I haven't played that one yet.
Great to see a new video from you guys in the New Year. Hope you are recovering well and thanks as always for the entertainment.
I always find your back-and-forth banter to be fun and informative. Good luck with your company for 2023 and keep the videos coming.
So so so freakin kind. Yeah Greg n I will keep doing what we do cause we don’t know how else to do anything different…if that made sense HA
I agree with Greg. Rush is a great game, and the code is awesome. I wasn't a rush fan but became one. Great job, guys. Happy New Year!!
So true. To you as well Hendrix!
I am amazed that I never saw this machine pushed by the Rush merch machine. I would bet that there are enough non-pinhead Rush fans that have never heard about the machine that would buy it to make it the biggest selling machine of all time. It is easy to envision 25,000 people world wide buying it.
@@WonkoTSane please send them my way! Zach@flipnoutpinball.com :)
Thank you for another great year of content! You guys need to do a weekly show like this.....with the addition of a market trends segment. Hehe
I have a Rush Pro and love it. I waited for the expression lighting but thankfully I added pin stadium Neos. Takes this game to a new level. Love it!
Thanks for this video and all the videos you two make together. Hope to see more in the coming year! Happy New Year!
Thank you so much for watching and all the support! HAPPY NEW YEAR
You got me into using machines for our business. Pinball is still very much alive!
That background of all those pins all lite up is a work of art. Best art a room could ask for! The toppers really give it a Punch.
Wow thanks so much and yes we agree.
true a room of pinball machines is functional playable art!
Awesome stuff again boys!! Love your videos. Should be more.
Here’s to a big 2023!!
The great thing about insider connect is you can log-in mid game! I was playing TMNT and hit a new high score and quickly scanned my phone to nail down that proof!
The best part of 2022 was I joined the hobby through Zach with TMNT Premium! I underestimated how heavy the backbox side it trying to carry down a flight of stairs to the basement. The whole family has been playing a ton out of the game and having fun. I've been able to introduce my 3 and 5 year-olds to the old TMNT series I watched as a kid.
How about The Fifth Element for a pin? I think it would be a slam dunk as the imagery and callouts would be an absolute gold mine as far as theme is concerned. I've brought it up in numerous forums and people agree it would be amazing, but it doesn't seem to be even remotely on any manufacturer's radar. In fact I never even hear anyone even mention it as a possible theme until I randomly bring it up in various discussions. I'm curious as to both of your thoughts on this? Happy New Year boys.
I completely agree! I’d probably go LE for the first time! So much you can do with that theme and it has such a following!!! (Greg)
Great show! Haven't heard about a lot of these pinball machines yet, mostly stick around my local arcade 👾
No mention of Haggis Pinballs remake of Bally's Fathom? That was a 2022 release, for the most part, and I think they knocked it out of the park with quality and respect to detail from the original. If rumors hold true; they have Bally's Xenon and Centaur on the horizon and they are going to have to get their production rolling on getting those Fathom machines out and about.
Here's wishing you both a very Happy New Year. The two of you bring a lot of fun and passion to the pinball world and I enjoy hearing what you both have to say. Cheers!
Thanks buddy that means a lot. And yeah all kinds of Haggis stuff coming from SDTM in 2023 :)
I can't wait to play that one man. Fathom is my favorite older pin and I love that I get to play it at my local spot.
U guys are the best n deserve the twipy love what you do. I’ve got 2 more weeks of radiation treatment n planning to get Cactus Canyon if I can recoup my funds. Keep up the great job.
Thanks for the kind words Rob C and keep up that fight man! Keep chuggin away and consider us harnessing our energy your way and helping you heal and gain strength! You got this and keep us updated bud.
Excellent as always chaps. Bigger, better, faster, more for 2023. Sincere thanks for your input for Pinheads 😎
Thank you for watching! We are excited for 2023!
You Boyz are the best in pinball news/hype/goof..keep rockin' it!
Love seeing you guys !! Happy New Year guys !
Happy New Year!!!
Alien has such a great theme, it just pulls you in.
Rush has a following unlike alot of bands who will buy whatever new thing out there. Like G&R...you might as well capitalize on the fan base that would pay for it now rather than never ever. Rush is GOAT hands down. Band and pin haha!!
Hey we respect the hell out of your love man.
WHY did Greg get rid of his Godzilla?! I feel he needs to explain:) Fun vid guys, ty
BTW guys inquirers wanna know whats currently in ur collections, Zach are ALL ur keepers modern pins? Whats the oldest pin thats a keeper for you?
I’m curious too
I’m so glad Greg DID get rid of his Godzilla Prem…..cause it’s sitting in my living room now 😂….Next to Rush Prem ❤❤both keepers for me.
Just time to go! Limited space! Iv locked down a lot of games that won’t leave but still need some floating space (Greg)
@@CincyKid25 happy for you!!!! It’s such a killer game!
Thanks guys, you are the best. Love it!
Thank you so much!!!
Have you played and/or reviewed the new QUEEN pinball distributed thru an Italian company and made in Scandinavia?
Greg, I didn't know you had a channel lol
Just subscribed to the channel.
I know nothing of Pinball, but just supporting the channel
Thank you sir, and hope you enjoy it!!!! (Greg)
Another fun video. Thanks for new content
I'm glad to see a new video from you guys! hey, Zack, any idea when stern put out a topper for Godzilla? The game has been out for more than a year
Happy New Year!
Damn right?! Stern we want our toppers!!!!!
The topper will be a home version of Godzilla that mounts and makes it a double decker pinball. Drill a hole in the side of the machine a place a mega VUK.
Your low price of 5500.
Where’d you guys get those t shirts???
No mention of Fathom (by Haggis) lads?
Rad review, I am even more stoked to try Rush now! Happy Friggin New Year Greg and Zach!
Great vid guys.
How long did you own the Godzilla before you sold it? May I ask what prompted the sale?
Zach is spot on about multimorphic. In a similar vein cgc flippers suck compared to Bally/Williams and are the main limitation for me in wanting to pick up one of their machines.
Great show.
Haven’t watched in awhile, but the reason why people accuse y’all of “shilling” is because in old content Zach used to be extremely critical of game issues, and the second he bought Flip ‘n Out he became 99% positive about everything. At this point I think he’s found his lane and is balanced in praise and criticism which helps fans better trust the content.
Thanks lads. Happy new year !!
Happy New Year and thank you for always watching and all that you do!!!
Great Video, Mando review still planned?
Good show, but you guys missed mention of Fathom and the re-run of Total Nuclear Annihilation (Collector's Edition).
Good call. Haggis Fathom stuff is coming big from SDTM soon
Do you guys think pinball putchases are still going to be strong with the rate hike and inflation increases?
Honestly, yeah. With what’s coming down the pipeline, more and more people will continue to enter the hobby and see what all of us have been loving for years now. Pinball is in a great place.
I can't wait for my Cactus Canyon SE+!!
Games I thought were going to be awesome but I found were disappointing.
Led Zeppelin+Toy Story 4+Halloween.
Games I thought would be boring but turned out to be the most fun.
Guardians+Ninja Turtles+Godzilla
You should do videos like this reviewing each year going forward and also going back
I will say Bond pinball and glass onion got me to watch all the Daniel Craig Bond movies at least. Definitely excited to see where the code goes
I honestly think it’s going to turn out to be great! Or at least fingers crossed ha ha
PB taking care of me super well
Ha when he said it’s a pube and your grandma was visiting ,I subscribed wtf you guys are cool✌️🍺
Bond is night and day now. Good call
Four machines to start a collection.
I think Stern will utilize IC to sell gift cards. Eventually you'll be able to put money on your IC account and pay for games on location by scanning your QR code. Reload your IC balance with gift cards. Something like that.
Is Cactus Canyon underpriced or TS4 overpriced?
Why not both? :) hehe
Thanks!
got my vote for pinball show of the year on TWIPY awards
Man you are awesome!!!! Thank you for that support!
Does Greg’s sweater come with a code update?
No need for an update….. it’s a classic!!!!😂
I'm not a fan of Rush's music. But it's definitely one of Stern's best band pins since Iron Maiden
Zach play a P3 with the new flippers. We know you have a history with multimorphic, but at least play the latest hardware version before passing judgement. I jump between sterns, jjp, and weird Al and see little difference
Somebody needs to make a pinball based on the first two hell raiser movies. Then when you’re playing, you can spend time in a real pinball hell!
I have played most of the pins. Cactus 🌵 Canyon by far the most fun to play 👍🏻
You are both hilarious and entertaining
Greg is rockin that old man sweater. Happy New Year, no echo by the way.
Ha ha I love my cardigans! (Greg)
I own Rush pro - amazing machine.
rush is an updated austin powers thats what it reminds me of
Happy new year. 🙂
HAPPY NEW YEAR
@@SDTM Was that Radical too beat up for ya?
No Fathom?
What Zack doesn't understand about Rush is that they are STILL one of the most popular rock bands in the history of Rock n' Roll and their fan base (like me) are a cult who watched them in concert more then 10+ times in their lives (common with fans). The issue has always been that Rush has always been a love or hate band. The closest derivative in the Rock world is the Grateful Dead.
I am got get handed to me but Grateful Dead pinball? Ugh yuck hehehe
Rush to me is an awesome band, done now with the death of Neal Peart, but the reason I liked them the most was the heartfelt thoughtful lyrics. Really resonated with me in my teenage years.
Rush sucks!! The band, that is
@@cowboib4680 never expect positivity from the internet.
Rush and Maiden are awesome themes if you are enough of a fan of the bands to regularly go to the shows. If not, I can see why some don't get it. Both work for me!
Greg has the wildest pinball collection of all time. Halloween AND TS4. Insanity.
Ha ha, don’t forget I have an alien sitting next to those two!!!!! 😂
@@SDTM Greg I’m thinking of getting an Alien LV, it looks like a game I would enjoy. Deep enough code? Worth buying?
@@nathanmaber1276 yeah it’s pretty deep. You have to run through both movies. One of the prettiest pins I have seen! Plays good and code is good! Immersion and sounds are fantastic
@@SDTM thanks heaps for the reply ❤️ really appreciated it. I think I’m going to get it
@@nathanmaber1276 consider flip n out pinball. Zach@flipnoutpinball.com
Two cousin in-laws from Indiana could never understand the alure of Rush.
Yes, Rush is a fantastic theme (best band of all time) while Toy Story (a children's movie) sucks
I wish they could make pinball more accessible to poor people lol like a table top that u can change out as new come out but the base stays the same
That’s the beauty of location arcades and barcades. Usually just 50 cents to 1 dollar to play.
It's been my experience that "rock band" pinballs are usually pretty good. Kiss, Guns N Roses, Metallica, AC/DC, Led Zep, Iron Maiden, etc have all been a fun time. I'm not surprised that Rush is good. Megadeth should be next to get the pinball treatment.
Toy Story 4 was just an odd choice, as noted by being about just 4 turned off many, then you got the older audience that Pinball is mostly made up, again that hurt it. And then the crazy high price? Yea that just too many negatives against it when so many other popular games were there and announced. Local dealers just been sitting on unsold TS4 all year
49:26 Not that it's impossible but people playing videogames are not spending $10k to buy a game before the dev asks them to hand over more, in fact it's been argued that subscriptions/battle passes, microtransactions etc. are the reason game prices have not followed inflation for many years, decades even, can't really say the same for pinball.
Cactus Canyon is bad ass
It’s solid
SDTM Zach & Greg = Still the best.
Back at you!!!!
Super8 came out 10 years before Stranger Things...
The Mando topper and Bond 60th pin cash grabs;... Stern equals Greed...
Toy story cant be saved by code because when you walk up to the game the disappointment of so much of the prominent space and design potential being devoted to the least memorable characters is too overpowering. It is a 12k$ totem of wasted promise.
I love Rush (the Band) but I really didn't like the flow of the pin...hard to describe, but I don't think it fits my style (or preference) of play. But I'm glad it's out there!
Can’t believe p3 is still around.🤷🏼♂️
I loved this episode. I think you folks were fair on pretty much everything, except during your intro labeling weird Al and multimorphic second tier. They are totally second tier compared to stern and JJP as far as being big dogs / units sold. But the comment was in the context of game of the year. While I don’t think weird Al will win game of the year, I do think that the license? Game play and over all game are on par with Toy Story, rush, and bond. I don’t think it is a tier 2 game. You may not like it, but if you compare all the mechs and capability of the game, it is a tier 1 offering
talk about the NODE-10 Failure Issue in RUSH !!!! Game hasn’t
worked for months!! Stern Has no answers!!! Buyer Beware!!!
Does your distributor have to a replacement on the way? (Greg)
Always thought a pin based on the current or future Grand Theft Auto video game would be a good theme for "Modern audiences".
Hum that could work!!!!
Stern may have great service when it comes to their dealers, but they are atrocious when it comes to the end user. In the past year alone; I had to wait 7 months for them to send a part to fix my NIB, D.O.A., AIQ Premium, I had to file 3 credit card disputes against them for not shipping (or even knowing anything about) 3 orders I placed with them, (after months of waiting and being charged) and now I'm waiting on another dispute as they charged my credit card (without my consent) for an Insider Connect account I never signed up for and can not access or cancel. Nor do they ever answer any emails or return any phone calls. Stern makes great pins, but they are completely incompetent when it comes to their customer service practices. American Pinball, Spooky and Pinball Bros annihilate Stern in that regard.
Look behind you. Don't bother talking about cabinet art as nobody ever sees it in a connection. Machines take up room so they're always butted up to something
I enjoy the rush game besides the music. I get I’m in the minority here but at 45 years old I have never been able to enjoy Geddy’s voice. BUT I do enjoy playing the table at my local arcade. I also like Led Zep because I love the music but the game is meh. That’s why I love this hobby, something for everyone!
Toy story tanked because of Disney Corp and new toy story movie
Fu k RUSH rocks, yaaa!
Toy story 4 is great
It is underrated!
That Rush pinball looks like its got a fl*shlight in the middle of the playfield.
I'm guessing you don't mean "flash..." ;)
Rush is a big let down know all the song and albums, just not that great of a pinball imo feels off
I thought exactly the same until I got it and was able to get some good quality time on it. Then it just blew me away. But I understand where you’re coming from. (greg)
@@SDTM I played the limited edition at a bar a couple days ago and it felt much better not sure if that makes any difference on this model or not really maybe I just haven't given it a fair shake
Pepsi gross lol
😂
Dems fightin words!!!! (Zach)
You're dead to me Zach.
Uh oh, was it the Rush?…
@@SDTM
LOL. Yes!!!!!!! Happy New Year!
STUPID PEPOLE RULE !
Missed you guys happy new year guys 🎉🎉🎉
Happy new year!!!!
So you give a list of new pinball games and haven't even played all of them, and then you beg for gifts when you have a wall of 5k pinball tables. Ugh hard pass.
Sorry your disappointed. Are you into pinball? You would know that one or two of those can be difficult to get any plays on. Not begging, just asking for a donation if you enjoy the show and all the time we put into it. Other wise we spend hours filming and editing for your enjoyment( or lack there of) for free. Pinball unfortunately, is not a big enough hobby to make any money from UA-cam or anything so we just ask if enjoy the show they donate.
Please remove that annoying intro crap
Nerdy Pinball guys just complain complain complain.
No we don’t!!!
