Silverball Chronicles with David and Ron Episode 26 The Architect - George Gomez Part 2   Want to Support the Show? Join Our Patreon and get early access to each episode: www.patreon.com/silverballchronicles     Topic Starts at 10:03    Episode Summary  George Gomez is the Creative Architect of pinball as we know it today. Without our Homie Gomie (trademark Zach Meny), Stern Pinball would not be the creative studio it is today. When Stern began to be rebuilt in the 2010s, it was the creative curiosity of George Gomez that enabled the company to build a modern pinball design studio and forever change the hobby.    Join Ron and Dave as they talk about what George did after the death of Williams, his masterpiece Lord Of The Rings, the Photoshop art era, the near death of Stern Pinball, the rebirth of Stern Pinball, ugly ramps, grindy code, Batman '66, the modern all time classic Deadpool and Stern's new 007 James Bond *Dave squeals in excitement* Sources:  Pinside at Pinside.com Internet Pinball Database Pat Lawler Game List.

There's just something undeniable about the appeal of a classic pinball machine. The flashing lights, the casino-like sounds, and the tactility of the physics involved all add up to a "Sure, I can spare a couple of quarters" response in almost everyone when we see one in the wild. But — as it is with most things — there exists a hidden shadow realm of die-hard pinball aficionados who are not only walking historians of chrome spheres and flippers, but who have the experience to spank these marvels of entertainment engineering into total high-score submission. Today, Saint and Jim are joined by four of them: Christopher Franchi, Jeff Parsons, and Dr. & Mrs. Pin (of both the Super Awesome Pinball Show, and Mrs. Pin's Pinball Podcast). These folks are an absolute treasure trove of knowledge on pinball's past, present, and future. During this surprisingly wide-ranging conversation, they team up to offer us a glimpse into a world most of us aren't even aware of. So cram this in your earholes, and get ready for a masterclass on all things pinball.

**The Slap Save Pinball Podcast is rated PG-13 by the MPAA (Misguided Pinball A-Holes of America)***  Episode 24 of the Slap Save Pinball Podcast, Silver Ball Showdown.  Where EVERY moon is a full moon.  Jason Fowler, Matt Koenen and THE Christopher Franchi (and his partner in crime Barlow) talk pinball, drop some opinions AND some inside tidbits (including EPIC art from Leonardo Da Franchi).  This episode rundown: 1.) Industry News (or at least what little there is) including a discussion of Cosmic Carnival's latest improvements. 2.) Summary of What is New with Jason and Matt. 3.) The SILVER BALL SHOWDOWN, a new segment that features Matt and Jason having a debate over a Pinball Machine, in this case Twilight Zone with a twist.  Gillian, the gorgeous, red-headed nymphomaniac who lives in Jason's phone, randomly assigns one host who has to defend it, and one host who has to trash it by a coin flip.  We have a BLAST defending/attacking the game... and attacking each other.   WHO WON?  You can decide by telling us on our facebook page, emailing us, or calling our voice comment line and we will tally them and let you know next week.    4.) Around The Playfield w/ Chris Franchi & Barlow has what might be the best segment yet with his trademark humor AND he drops some art that he had completed as a mock up to try to entice an IP to be made.  You will NOT want to miss this.  Make sure you contact Chris with your comments, questions and suggestions at playfieldquestions@gmail.com.  Also, check out our Facebook page to see the art referenced starting at 9pm eastern on Monday, May 13th.        5.) The Full Plunge: Online Connectivity Matt & Jason talk about the potential upside and downside of online connectivity.   If you would like to show your support of our juvenile behavior that we call a podcast, our online store featuring T-Shirts and other ways you can show you are proud SSPP family is now LIVE!
