Episode 200 - The End

Pinball and video games. We're a mixed gaming podcast, but pinball and video games are our bread and butter, and our two permanent segments. Pinball generally receives the most attention of the two. We also, on occasion, cover other types of gaming (namely tabletop games such as RPGs and card games). We aren't known as eclectic for nothing!

Leisure

Pinball: We discuss Pedretti Gaming's remake of Funhouse, talk about the Stern Pinball damage control tour, and answer some listener emails.

Video Games: We talk about Helldivers 2 and its sales success, Atari buying Intellivision, video game industry layoffs, Microsoft adding AI to Minecraft, Playstation versus Xbox sales, and a Uvalde-related lawsuit against Activision.
