It's the battle of the big beasts this month with two mammoth new game launches and a third poised to be revealed. So, Jonathan from Pinball Magazine and Martin from Pinball News are back to bring you all the details in April's Pinball Industry News PINcast.The first beast into the arena was the Sandworm from Barrels of Fun's new Dune game. Based on the 2021 and 2024 Dune movies, the second release from the Houston-based manufacturer comes fully loaded with extensive cinematic assets as well as a new Horizon Atmospheric Lighting system, anti-reflective glass, a shaker motor and even a topper.Facing off against the Sandworm is the ‘Eighth Wonder of the World' in the form of Stern Pinball's new King Kong: Myth of Terror Island. The story of King Kong has been reimagined for Stern's latest cornerstone game which features an animated Kong being summoned by a swinging gong. Kong wreaks havoc, of course, aided by a giant spider as he blocks the balls and smashes a subway car to release the locked balls inside.The third beast is the elephant-in-the-room that is Jersey Jack Pinball's upcoming Harry Potter game. With manufacturing already underway at the company's Elk Grove Village factory, what will be the impact when we get the official release, expected later this month?Also looming large over the industry is the effect of trade tariffs – imposed, planned or threatened. Pinball manufacturers are taking their own approaches to the price increases on buying components and shipping complete games, while others are taking a wait-and-see approach. With some cuts in production already announced or anticipated, Jonathan and Martin look at who's doing what, and what it means for the wider market.There are also current production updates, along with news of some people leaving their posts and others being appointed to new positions.Plus, there are new code updates, of course, as well as some new products and limited-time special offers you won't want to miss.Also in this month's PINcast, Jonathan and Martin swap the pinball table for the dinner table to find out What's Cooking with… legendary game designer, Steve Ritchie.

The Bums are back in the rail yard with Season 4, Episode 0111 -- having lost not one but two podcast episodes at the hands of a missing “micro” SD card (not called “micro” for nothing); nonetheless, we're back in the game with the first half jumping into HOCKEY — that's right — NHL HOCKEY — as the Panthers avoid disaster; NHL draft highlights (Russians are finally wanted for something); the NBA draft wraps up as the Chicago Bulls get a home boy with championship basketball blood in his veins (courtesy of Lithuania); the U.S. college teams have lost their mojo as Europe makes it's presence felt; Paddy drops a great IDNKT segment—Father and Son edition; the Summer Olympics are close at hand, but without modern western, modern conveniences (green-lessness is imported); and the Chicago Cubs erase more history with the disappearance of staple buildings/signage (Eamus Catuli Non Semper).The back half pops off with another universally famous beer review, as Mikerphone Brewing from Elk Grove Village, IL kicks out ‘Hey Mambo, Hey Mambo Italiano' (ABV 5.0) a super crisp, Italian style Pilsner that would nicely pair with pizza (go figure); Chicago's mayor Brandumb is in hot water again; Rocky's collection of golf shoes expands by one (at the hands of his lovely wife); the Galena tapes are reviewed during Father's Day escapades; Rocky and Paddy chase golf course ghosts; and close with a Riot Fest locale relo. Better get some now, before Eddie and Rocky lose another episode. Recorded on June 26th, 2024 at B.O.M.'s global headquarters ‘East Bunker' in Chicago, IL USA.

She has been working on becoming bilingual in Spanish for decades now…it's a process, not an event!In 1994, Elaine relocated to Scottsdale, AZ and soon thereafter became securities and insurance licensed after her teaching job ended in Phoenix. She figured she might as well learn about money, something her family didn't really teach her about…After several years of training, she earned her Certified Financial Planning designation as well as the Certified Estate Planning designation.Elaine helped people retire for 27 years. After Covid and the death of her mother, she and her wife decided to hang it up and retire to Uruguay where they currently reside happily and safely. Her major incentive to move away from the US was to create a life where she didn't feel terrorized on a daily basis.Cynthia Richards was born and raised in Maine.

She married the woman of her dreams, Elaine Zito, in 2015, and they now tromp through the woods, eat fish someone else has caught, and look for Mermaid tears on the beaches of Uruguay with their family of three dogs.She started dance class at two or three, found her people in theater groups in school and throughout Maine, and eventually moved to the Washington D.C. area to work professionally in the theater communities in D.C., Virginia, and Maryland. This is a love she has today and continued with Voices of the Desert, an Unconventional Theatrical Chorus in Phoenix, AZ. Cynthia has a Master's Degree in Business with an emphasis on Human Resource Management and has worked in the HR capacity in many forms of business, eventually spending the years before retirement working with her wife in the finance industry.

Dr. Winfred Neely, Vice President and Academic Dean of Moody Theological Seminary and Graduate School, describes how students entering the school are different from past generations: in the past students leaned heavily on truth in their theology, and now students tend to lean on grace. Neither are sufficient, but have to be understood together. Moody Theological Seminary is a presenting sponsor of the free LIFT Pastors Appreciation Brunch featuring Mark Jobe, President of Moody Bible Institute, this Thursday October 12 in Elk Grove Village.

Sean Reynolds of JLL's Chicago Data Center Practice Group joins the podcast to discuss trends and activity in the data center real estate world. Topics include: Chicago as a key data center market due to its history as a railroad hub. Hyperscalers are helping to push for sustainability through wind energy development. In 2021 The State of Illinois passed an important bill with tax incentives for the data center industry. Data centers contribute significantly to municipal finances through electricity sales tax generation. Elk Grove Village is a “main and main” location for data centers due to power and fiber access. Power supply issues on the east and west coasts are crimping new supply. Supply chain delays are leading to longer lead times on procuring equipment.
On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show off talking about the nice spring weather, getting ready for Easter, and Kyle and Lil Phizzy's recent trip to the theaters to watch the new Sonic the Hedgehog movie. Then a woman from the United Kingdom writes in with a story about a black globular cluster that manifested under her sister's, boyfriend's car. As it grew in size it morphed into a large black cat or dog. Then, it instantly transformed into a black-haired man wearing a hat. Then, seven people witness a red-eyed, winged humanoid standing on top of a neighbor's garage in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. After the break, Cam brings up some strange cases of orbs! All over the world people claim to see strange balls of light. What are they? Theories about them range from ghosts to UFOs but no one seems to know for sure. Are they responsible for crop circles, time slips, missing time, or are they some sort of unknown living entity that shares our world.
