Today I'm joined by Vincent Proce: the Emmy Award winning artist behind Stern's latest release - Dungeons & Dragons. Vince has had a long and fascinating career creating art for Midway Games, Magic: The Gathering, Wizards of the Coast and a number of film and TV including the Academy Award winning Film 'The Shape of Water'.

Kimba is back! This episode we talk about our day at the pinball collective where we got to play many new games (and games new to us), we discuss the upcoming State Championships taking place around the country on 1st Feb and touch on a few items of pinball news.

Don Garrison of Don's Pinball Podcast joins me while Kimba is away at work to slap together an episode talking about potential remasters from Stern, King Kong, Borg's upcoming Lucasarts license and to show off his Watto impression!

Fresh off Stern's gameplay reveal, here is a quick rundown of what we saw and our first impressions!

Back after a long and very busy 3 months! We've just seen Dungeons and Dragons - The Tyrant's Eye revealed, hear our thoughts and what we've been up to for all this time and play our first 20 Questions of the year. It's good to be back!

This one is a special episode, our first interview with someone inside the belly of the beast that is Pinball! Industry legend George Gomez, Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer at Stern Pinball.

George is responsible for designing some of the most iconic pinball machines ever made and has been in the video game and pinball industry for more than 40 years.

We chat about Stern's latest release, The Uncanny X-Men, among a long list of topics from designers getting into the industry to trying to get an idea of what's coming next and asking "WHERE IS THE VENOM TOPPER?!" (That one sounds fascinating!)

We're back to talk about the upcoming games from Stern and Jersey Jack Pinball! As well as update everyone on what we've been up to and some really exciting news for our upcoming shows. John Wick launch parties, getting stranded without a vehicle, adding a new game to the collection and of course, 20 Questions! This week's was a doozy!

Ryan and Kimba discuss the possibility of an episode that DOESN'T get marked explicit... Could this help us reach new audiences and can we make it a whole episode without an expletive?... Spoiler Alert... We can't. That would be almost as Un-Australian as taking money from hard working folks who love pinball and never delivering games... Yes, we talk about the demise of Haggis Pinball and what that means for everyone who has a deposit or, perish the thought, paid in full!

Also, Godzilla 70th, black and white art packages, potential upcoming trades for a cool new pin and jumping into home ownership! 

We hope you enjoy the episode!

Ryan and Kimba are back to catch all you beautiful little freaks up on what we've been doing since our last episode! June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month which is something that is very close to our hearts. Kimba shares some of her journey with us as we look back on the past four years of her battle against stage 4 Cancer and begin to thankfully close the book on that hard time.

We got to catch up with friends and play some really cool pinball while we were in the big city, we missed out on seeing some people but still tried to get out and about to play new games and most of all have fun!

We look at what the future holds for the whiners in the hobby and what they might choose to pick on next, and yes, we do address the latest pinball unpleasantness that has hit a bit close to home.
