@@Johnny-re9kg Thank you so much! I can’t take credit for the editing, that’s my boy Mason. We’ve been working together now for almost 6 years. We’ve got such a great chemistry and flow to what we do now that it really helps when producing content like this. We’re so in tune now that it’s very rare that he can’t bring to life a concept in my head and so I’m very grateful for not only his partnership but his friendship as well, he’s a really talented guy and just an overall good human being too. Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment 🙏🏻 appreciate you man!
@@RetroRalph it takes a village to move a mountain! I'm happy you've found such a creative force with Mason. Some artists don't find those right people, but when you do, your collective vision can be exponential in power. That's awesome! Keep up the great work.
Dang Ralph, this was (imo) the best episode yet! Great editing, filming, and your spark for pinball. This really helps the folks that didn’t attend! People like you, Cary, Gonzo, etc really help unite the passion.
Great recap of Expo Ralph! Really enjoyed chatting with you on the flight to Chicago, was great for us Pinheads to discuss the industry…man that 4 hours literally flew by!
Bob, I really enjoyed our conversation! Man, that was the fastest flight ever-haha! I would love to check out your collection sometime and play some pinball with you. Shoot me an email at RetroRalph1980@gmail.com, and we can exchange info. I thought I would have seen you at the show, but we never bumped into each other.
I agree, man! Stern does so much for pinball that often goes unrecognized. In my opinion, tournament play is thriving and growing because of them too. Thanks so much for watching!
Incredible time! Took my two older boys. We will definitely return next year. Thanks for your video promoting this Expo. Have wanted to attend for years.
Great video and super editing. Really captured the feeling of the show. It was great to hang with you and the gang last week. Next year, I'd like to see more footage of the Malnati salad. That was delicious. Stern won the show but that Avatar CE topper was unreal and I loved FunHouse remake.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words about the video and editing. It was awesome to meet you in person and have the chance to play some pinball together-it made the experience even better! I totally agree about Stern winning the show; they really brought their A-game. And that Avatar CE topper was something else! Looking forward to hanging out again soon man!
Great video Ralph! and it was great to meet you in person too. #coolguy, my favorite part of the show was the "Homebrew" section and "Ninja Eclipse" #newkidsontheblock
Great video Ralph. I wasn't able to try most of the newer machines due to long line-ups but did get to try out the X-Men and I adapted just fine to the main flippers being offset. I hope I can make it next year and maybe try my hand at one of the pinball competitions. Great job doing the silent auction.
Thanks for watching! It was great meeting you, even if it was brief. I had a blast doing the silent auction and appreciate the support. I hope you can make it next year too! I hope you had a good time and felt it was worth the trip.
Great video Ralph!!! I love all the pinball content. The show you were at looks like a blast I might try to make it there next year as I have gotten into pinball more and more over the years .
Natalie, long time no see! I hope all is well. It’s so cool that you’re getting into pinball; it’s honestly the most fun I’ve had in gaming in years! It becomes especially enjoyable once you learn the rules of a game and start really progressing through it. That makes me so excited to hear that you’re loving it as well!
@@RetroRalph Pinball has definitely pulled me back into gaming. While I still enjoy my other arcade machines the Stern Guardians of the galaxy machine I have gets all the love right now.
It was a pleasure meeting you at Expo and had a blast playing Avatar with you at the secret gem booth at Operation Pinball! Hope to play some more games with ya next year!
Dude, that was so much fun playing Avatar together! The Operation Pinball booth was an awesome hidden gem, especially with the padded floor too! Shoot me an email at RetroRalph1980@gmail.com so we can exchange info. This way, it’ll be easier to coordinate some time to play pinball together next year! Who knows what games we’ll be playing next year? My hope is Back to the Future or The Matrix (JJP), but I think that’s still a ways out... who knows! Awesome meeting you, man!
I had a great time at the show ! I skipped playing Alice . Chances are I’ll never see it again so I didn’t bother waiting in the long line to play . Was hoping to meet you but maybe next year . Overall the show was awesome, lots to do and see. Was able to pick up a new Mirco playfield for my twilight. Zone which I’m completely rehabbing. Great video Ralph !
Thanks for watching, man! Expo was a blast but it wasn't the same without you there, that's for damn sure! You gotta come back next year BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER!!! Arcade Hollywood returns in 2025 baby!!! Thanks for the support as always brother!
That stern factory changed so much ! I was lucky enough to visit it years ago and it was so packed. Glad they could grow the factory that much. JJP factory hasnt changed, but it feels lke they have a different approach and operation, more "friends and family" than factory churning out tons of pins. Loved both !
Thanks brother! Hopefully we can get a chance to meet next year! I feel like the show went by REALLY FAST this year. I hope you had a great expo and hope to bump into you next year man!
Cool video, but surprised that John Wick was not mentioned. I thought this pinball would have nothing special until I played it at the expo, it was super fun, lots of satisfying shots and a lot of flow
Great video. I'll just add Jersey Jack typically doesn't rerun games except for Wizard of Oz. Sure, they haven't rerun that game in many years, but early on they did at least 3 or 4 runs of it, with some different versions (Ruby Red, Yellow Brick Road, Emerald City, 75th Anniversary)
Thanks for the correction. I just mean that, in general, this isn’t a common practice for them, unlike Stern and others like Spooky, who re-ran Total Nuclear Annihilation after popular demand. I’m sure a game like Pirates is tough due to licensing, as these licenses usually require renegotiation since they’re not perpetual and expire over time. Thanks again for watching and for taking the time to comment.
Dude, excellent video. I wish they would do something like that in Panama. Those machines look really cool, especially Tony Hawk's and one I saw from Blade Runner 2049. They left me in love.
1:14 - As the song goes, "One of these things is not like the others..." Looks like a fun show. I hoped to play X-Men at Portland Retro but even for a show not really synonymous with pinball there was never a free machine and Stern managed to sell every unit they brought by Saturday night.
love how JJ brought their entire catalog and then kind of hid it in a far corner of the show. If you didn't walk the whole show you'd miss them! The lines were not that bad. Also wish you had mentioned the free play area across the hall...THAT was amazing!
Man this is so nostalgic for me I'm old school I'm 71 and I remember playing games like slick chick 10 cents gambling pinballz with spinner Rewards and you won 10 cents for every game you won if you're really good on the Bingo cards you can win hundreds of games I'm just a quarter investment
My stepfather is a Pinball fanatic! He repairs old machines. He actually has patents on new digital scoring displays for old machines! Has his own company. Not sure about rules posting name here. If it’s allowed, someone comment! He goes to all the big conventions in our region!
@RetroRalph I don't know when it might be available for Pre-Order, but I will finally be investing in my first BRAND NEW Pinball table: Evil Dead from Spooky Pinball. I almost pulled the proverbial trigger with Texas Chainsaw Massacre CE, but it bummed me out that the playfield was a re-skin of Looney Tunes. That, combined with the awesome animated topper for Evil Dead...that is clearly my game. Cheers, B
Right now, all I have are Spike 2 games. I’m hoping to get one older Williams game and something modern that’s non-Stern, but I just haven’t found "the game" yet. I really hope JJP makes "The Matrix" because I would definitely be a buyer for that! Thanks for watching dude! You and Mason should connect, he's a drone guy too. He just got into FPV stuff and I'm sure you could show him a thing or two.
I 100% believe the Tony Hawk machine is going to be picked up by a major company soon. If it’s not in the home brew area then there are definitely talks about getting the license.
Have you checked out Alan-1, they're doing some really cool stuff. Lot's of indie devs out there too, so it's chugging along but would love to see more of it for sure. Thanks for watching brother!
What I would like to see made into a Pinball table would be A (+Bettle Juice+) just my opinion to see as a theme if they can up their game being more inovated! I think it would be a awesome theme for a build!
@@RetroRalph Fantastic! Now, what company you feel would likely to do best at making Beetle Juice an awesome Pinball experience? I would like to get the people as many as possible asking for this theme and take it to one of these companies and make it! Will they listen to their audience? Maybe!
Great Video gave a really good feel of the show. I am getting slightly worried by all the Stern clothing and high praise in every video. I really hope the channel stays legit. I have no interest in the band but Metallica does look like a great pin.
I just really like the brand. I've played a lot of different games from all the manufacturers, and I still think that, in most cases, Stern is the top dog. I'm not paid by them or influenced by them in any way; I just really love the feel of most of their games. They’re not perfect, and they make mistakes, but as an owner of several of their games now, they’ve treated me well so far. I highlighted JJP in this video on purpose, though, because I really like the team over there. I just hope they make a game I want to buy because I would love to support them as well. Don’t worry, man-I will stay legit, but I do like what I like. Thanks so much for watching and for supporting the channel!
Content creators should never comment if a pin is good or bad unless they have atleast 100 plays on the unit to fully see what it can offer, retro ralph, your video seemed to push your need for free stuff from these vendors more than what was at the expo
Well If you listen to my podcast, I say that often. It’s hard to gauge if a game is good or bad without a fair amount of play time on it, so I agree. But that wasn’t the question being asked, it was … who stole the show. 😉 Not sure what free stuff you’re referring to, I buy my pinball machines just like everyone else man. I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. 👍🏻
I'd say that's an EXTREMELY unreasonable expectation for someone giving an opinion. 9n anything. What you expect is advice from a friend; this is a free first impression.
Really cool that there’s a market for all this, but as an outsider I gotta say all these is not hitting the mark in terms of attracting people not already into this. Which, IMO they should be trying to do. What seems unique to you guys doesn’t to us. Nothing satisfying “vintage” enough and also nothing satisfying “new and different”enough. All looks stale and corporate. Don’t know how this comes off but: these designers are the only ones who are gonna be capable of making new form factors and styles of machines-not pinball but just mechanical/digital kinetic pieces of hybrid art/games. I only say that because mechanical light up noisy machines are the type of “art” most missing in the current time and someone should really be trying to think outside the box cause this is all pretty boring to me and a lot of other people. Just my opinion.
But now stern had to do hits... Because competition will bite their ass

Theres just something the modern Stern tables thats so damn off putting. Its as if they all pretty much feel and play the same, the damn playfields are all pretty much the same; that damn TV blaring out all manner of nonsense distracting from the game, the art work looks bland and they all look like each other,… so jist many issues. That said, Stern is definitely helping to keep pinball alive; I just wish they’d drop the modern BS.
Hey man, that's okay-not all games are for everyone. I personally don’t agree that the options are mediocre, but to each their own. That’s the cool thing about pinball; there are plenty of options for everyone. Did you play X-Men by chance? To me, that game feels so fresh, but again, not every game speaks to everyone.
Extremely well produced video - the amount of time allocated for each topic is perfect, editing, video coverage - all top notch
Really hope that Tony Hawk machine gets all the love and attention it deserves. Dude who made it legit deserves to be hired.
