#005 - Are We Buying Too Many Games, or Is 15 Just the Beginning?

from Punk Rock Pinball · host Live From The Rock Room

Welcome back to the Punk Rock Pinball Podcast, episode 5, and yeah, this one is basically our “pinball life is happening fast” update.We got Jaws 50th Anniversary Edition, and we’re already emotionally attached, even though the Jaws Pro that started everything is leaving tomorrow.We recap a 38-player Landmark tournament and the one little technique that completely changed Mike’s night: the post pass.We argue about the pinball apocalypse scenario, and Steph drops a dream theme that feels obvious once you say it out loud: Wonder Woman pinball.This episode is a mix of new machine excitement, tournament reality checks, and big pinball questions. We talk about how different the Jaws Premium shoots compared to the Pro, why adjusting between locations can melt your brain, and why owning a bunch of games makes you forget how to play half of them. We also tease a new idea we’re excited about: bands coming through the Rock Room picking a player and battling us head-to-head on our machines. Then we go full hypothetical with “if Stern disappeared, who keeps pinball alive,” and we finish with a dream theme that we’d pre-order immediately. Drop a comment with your dream theme and tell us who survives the pinball apocalypse.Join the conversation in the Punk Rock Pinball Facebook group!
