In this episode we are joined by a very special guest, the man who saved pinball with a single shot, and who wrote the first published book on the history of pinball, Mr. Roger Sharpe.https://wedgeheadpdx.com/podcasts/ Link is to some bonus materials on our website to see all the games that we are talking about in this episode.Roger is a legend in the pinball world, most it well documented elsewhere, but he joined us on the podcast to talk about a different industry legend: the late great Harry Williams.  Founder of the eponymous Williams Mfg. company, and the man who did more for pinball than any other single person in its long history.Harry brought electricity to pinball, designed the tilt mechanism, was the first to place magnets under the playfield, invented the first pop bumper, was the first to put score reels into a game, and the first to put elevated wire ball paths (the precursor to modern ramps) and more in his games OVER 70 YEARS AGO!Roger famously interviewed Harry back in the 1970s for his book PINBALL!, and he joins us to talk about the legacy of this great man, helping to fill out the details of Harry's life and of his personal warmth.  Listen to Roger tell stories of Harry as a mentor to a young version of himself when he was developing his first pinball design Sharpshooter, and insights of Harry's return to the pinball design world in the late 1970s via Sam Stern, aka Gary's dad for Stern Electronics.Harry was a visionary, and was the greatest single creative force that the pinball industry has ever seen, but whilst his many contributions to pinball persist to this day, he remains heinously underappreciated and celebrated for being the true prophet of pinball that he was.We hope that this episode sheds some light on pinball's brightest star.

So here we go!Zen Studios has announced that they won't be releasing any more pinball tables until around May or June, so we explore why that might be.Farsight Studios have published another casual pinball title from Trick Game Studios and it might be just what you need to pass some time during the lockdown.Through some community detective work, we also confirmed that the Williams Pinball tables published in Zen Pinball FX3 are best played when you lock your frames per second (FPS) to 60 FPS.Enjoy the show and let us know what you think.

https://blahcadepinball.com/189-three-quarter-scale-shockWe start the show with a round-up of the feedback from the digital pinball community about the Williams Pinball app.Then we spend the remainder of the show going over some interesting news about a three-quarter size consumer pinball machine being sold in Walmart.Cabinet pinball for the masses is here, folks.

https://blahcadepinball.com/187-its-aliveFinally! We can talk about what we've been sitting on since about July. Universal Monsters Pack has been announced for Williams Pinball!We answer a pile of Twitch stream questions and have the best time interacting with everyone on the show live.There is coverage about what we've seen in the Beta, what we know and can actually confirm or talk about, and even some BlahCade Speculation™? that you've come to demand from the show. Just in time for All Hallow's Eve. Don't be a ghoul: be cool and listen!

https://blahcadepinball.com/185-some-news-is-good-newsThere are some stuff and things that we can share with you this episode about Williams Pinball!We also take a look at the new Elvira pinball from Stern.Jared also gives you an update about how restoring Force 2 is progressing.It's a short podcast just like this is a short summary. Get listening!

http://blahcadepinball.com/184-are-we-there-yetI take a leaf out of Chris' book and do a live verbal walk-through of what the new Zaccaria Pinball app feels like the first time you load it up.Because I was bored on the trip home, I also decided to revisit Williams Pinball on Android after a long break due to IAP gripes. What will I think after all this time?Star Race has got it's new brain and is now awaiting its new owner to enjoy it. So what's next for me with pinballs? You'll be surprised.Monster Bash remake is also at Pincadia in Brisbane so I went along with Ed from All Pinball to have a few games. It's a cracker!

https://blahcadepinball.com/182-whos-the-aussieThere’s a lot to catch up on in this episode because Jared has been tied up for a few weekends now doing stuff.There’s impending news about Zaccaria Pinball on Android, a huge Quality of Life patch for Williams Pinball, Star Wars Pinball on Switch cartridge pricing, and a large block of coverage for the Brisbane Pinball and Arcade Collective (BPAC) event running right now at the Brisbane Showgrounds as part of the Ekka.It wouldn’t be BlahCade if we didn’t talk about food, and this week it’s all about Carnival Food. It’s a huge show summary this time around so make sure you read it all. I’ll know if you haven’t… ????

https://blahcadepinball.com/181-rhymes-with-switchIt's another week on little to no news about Williams Pinball and other Digital Pinball platforms, so Chris and I go into other stuff as we typically do.I talk about the prep I've been doing on Star Race to get it ready for The Ekka this year. Chris talks about getting decals printed so that he can bring Fire Power back to life again. Well, that's after he clear-coats the playfield and drags the spaghetti wiring harness back into place. Oh, and after he staples the earth braid back into place again and re-attaches all the components.Chris also talks about his foray into writing for websites that are designed to get advertising clicks and not offer particularly engaging content. But hey, it pays the bills (well, sort of).Jared is off to help level Pinball machines at The Ekka, so this episode will carry until next weekend when we may have some news to share.If you're in Brisbane over Ekka, please play my pinball. Every dollar counts towards the next one. Oh yes, there will be another. But more on that next time.

https://blahcadepinball.com/180-creators-gotta-createWe have great success with OBS this week which means we can focus on pinball.Chris and I talk about the improvements Zen Studios has made to Williams Pinball’s gameplay experience concerning in-game currencies. This episode also covers some questions we’ve been asked over the last few weeks. Is it worth repurchasing all the Williams Pinball tables if you already own them in Pinball Arcade? How are you feeling about the pricing in Williams Pinball? Too cheap? Just right?We go over these questions, and much more in this episode.  

We’re back and everything (barring my video in the YouTube vid) seems to be working. Zaccaria Pinball (Magic Pixel) has surprised us with a really nice graphical refresh of the app on Steam. It’s miles better than it was and it paints the game in a much better light. Great job, team!We also discovered this cool little device that is going to allow arcade operators to remote-manage their physical machines and get them online.Chris has done these sweet “Let’s Play” style vids with gameplay tricks from Williams Pinball on iOS. Check them out if you want to grind like a pro.Plenty of other stuff as well so check it out!Get the show notes at https://blahcadepinball.com/179-skype-is-shyte

Chris was about ready to drop this really helpful document for folks new to Zen Pinball's Williams Pinball app on iOS and Android.But as you'll hear in this episode, these best-laid plans were thrown out. We spend this episode discussing what has changed in the freemium model within Williams Pinball and offer some suggestions about what you can do to get maximum enjoyment out of this game.There's also some interesting news about some developments Zen Studios has been working on that we shed light on as well, so get listening.https://blahcadepinball.com/172-shifting-sands for show notes.

If you’ve ever tried to diagnose a fault on a Pinball machine, you’ll know how frustrating it can sometimes be. Jared had just such a problem last week with his Star Race.Chris has been diving into the stats side of Williams Pinball more and has yielded some interesting insights from the data collected.There’s some interesting movie talk in this episode as well that breaks up the show a bit.Enjoy, and let us know what you think. Don't forget about the blog post about the episode: https://blahcadepinball.com/171-earths-wins-and-fire

Chris has had the opportunity to give Campaign Mode on Zaccaria Pinball a go, and he's got plenty to share about the gameplay and features.Stern has also dropped a new Black Knight table on us and we go into a little bit of detail about our thoughts about the overall package and our hopes for balanced gameplay in the title.We round out the show with some Williams Pinball discussion and include a little exploit you can use (at time of writing this post) to guarantee massive points on Junk Yard in certain modes.Check out https://blahcadepinball.com/170-zaccaRIa-not-zaccARia for show notes and links.

Plenty of hardcore pinball app folks on Android and iOS have been complaining about how much grinding you need to do on Williams Pinball to get ahead. Zen Studios will be releasing a table pack approximately every 8–10 weeks.We know that those all-important table parts are randomly dropped across tables.Because you now have seven tables to spread your parts over, it may become difficult for new folks to the platform to unlock a table to the two-star level so they can play them in the basic and advanced daily challenges.Chris outlines details about his efforts to get some data around the freemium unlocks so that we have facts rather than speculative analysis about the freemium experience in the game.See https://blahcadepinball.com/169-analytics-here-we-come for links to show notes and coarse timing points.

In predictable fashion, Zen Studios released Williams Pinball Vol. 3 across all platforms today after announcing the game a few weeks ago.We got early access to a press copy of the latest release just before the weekend (yeah, not a huge preview but we'll take it), and recorded this episode so we could push it out on the day of release for you.Vol. 3 enters the ring, distracts us with a card trick while breaking the vault open with some explosive features. So sit back and enjoy our musings over how Theatre of Magic, The Champion Pub, and Safe Cracker feel in their new digital home.Then download this bruiser and get flipping!See https://blahcadepinball.com/168-williams-pinball-vol-3 for show notes and links to the new channel our podcast is now available through. 

https://www.blahcadepinball.com/blahcade-166/Now that the Williams Pinball Vol 1 and Vol 2 Beta has run its course on iOS and Android, it's time for Zen to channel their inner Ariana and say "thank u, next" for the latest Williams Pinball DLC drop across all platforms. Hear Mel Kirk and Thomas Crofts (apologies from Akos Györkei who had to bail early to get Zen's Twitch stream set up) lay down what we can expect from Volume 3. For those forensic fans out there, one of the tables will not be a surprise. But there may be a couple of tables in Volume 3 that have come out of left field. There's also some (now somewhat old, but nonetheless) awkward and uncomfortable news about Magic Pixel's Zaccaria Pinball app on Android at the end of the show.

In today's mobile gaming world, freemium models are often the only way developers can earn a crust in a crowded game market. Getting the balance right between playing for free to level up (grinding) versus playing outright can be a tough balance to get right. It seems that Zen might have made a misstep with pricing on their Android release of Williams Pinball.While the app is released in beta form, in-app purchases are live and available to purchase. So what are the current pricing differences between Android and iOS? Well, quite a lot as you'll find out when you listen to this episode.Check out https://blahcadepinball.com/163-not-down-with-iap for show notes and screenshots of actual in-game pricing, and the usual show timings you love (you do love 'em right)?

In software development, running experiments to test out hypotheses is an important part of product management and product development.We've already worked out that Zen Studios has been doing this for a while on mobile. They were testing out their free-to-play models on mobile, so they could gather the data they needed to implement it correctly in Williams Pinball on iOS and Android.We explore the different experiments out there on mobile. We also work out what could be done to unify the experience in line with the new Williams Pinball mobile mode.See https://blahcadepinball.com/162-a-unified-experience for the show notes and pictures of things we were showing on the YouTube Live session.

On today's show, Marc talks about Yakuza 0, feeling like they've only scratched the surface after putting almost ten hours into the game, as well as some pinball business, Williams Pinball to be exact, and a mess of a "conversation" about, once again, Red Dead Redemption 2 and why it's okay for the game to be both great and not so great, depending on who you ask. Also, of course, more Fairy Tail nonsense. Anyway, something-something crazy and hazy, cheers and enjoy the anime-zing(ly footy) show. Anyway, that's it and that's all folks. If you're feeling extra generous, you can become a patron, donate a little something-something, or subscribe to show your support for the site, the plentiful podcasts, the various videos, the absurd art, and all of the other nonsense we make over here at Pixelated Sausage. Thanks for being a fan.
