The Phantom Tilt Pinball Podcast

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!

We know the waiting is the hardest part and we've left you hanging long enough! Back from holiday and our relaxing time in Western Australia's beautiful wine region, soaking up the serenity and the smell of 2 stroke... But no trip is complete without getting to play some pinball! We talk about visiting friends, playing some different games that we don't see very often and ask WHY Ryan can only win on Dad-Rock pins?! Some good discussion around what some of the challenges are in getting new people, including more women and kids involved in Pinball and if we're going to be making another pin-trade?! Also... Is Kimba potentially going to be jumping on a flight to the USA at the drop of a hat if a certain game is announced?! As always we have another instalment of 20 questions to play along with!   Send your suggestions for discussion or 20 Questions to phantomtiltpod@gmail.com

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.
