Flip N Out Pinball Podcast

Three new games. Two days. Plenty of opinions.

This week we're catching up after one of the wildest stretches the pinball industry has seen all year. We dive into the launches of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Ender's Game, and Bon Jovi, discuss why some first impressions completely changed after seeing the games in action, recap the buzz coming out of Gen Con and Southern Fried Gaming Expo, and touch on Sonic's momentum, new announcements from American Pinball, and what could be next for the hobby.

It's an honest, unscripted conversation with a few laughs mixed in, just the way we like it.

Barrels of Fun has officially revealed Bon Jovi Pinball, and before the game makes its public debut, we sat down with Founder, CEO, and Game Designer David Van Es, along with Prototype Engineer Luke Underwood, to learn the story behind the machine.
In this interview, David and Luke discuss:
• How Bon Jovi became Barrels of Fun's next title
• The creative process behind designing the game
• Translating one of the world's biggest rock bands into pinball
• Gameplay philosophy, flow, and unique playfield features
• The music, artwork, lighting, and audio experience
• What players can expect when they step up to Bon Jovi for the very first time
This conversation gives the designers an opportunity to explain the vision behind the game in their own words.

Welcome back to another episode of the Flip N Out Pinball Podcast!
This week, we find ourselves cruising straight into what may be the Pinball Bermuda Triangle...a place where rumors, speculation, and "inside information" seem to disappear, reappear, and somehow change every time someone tells the story.
With Dungeon Crawler Carl rumors heating up, we discuss how difficult it has become to separate fact from fiction and why patience is sometimes the hardest part of being a pinball enthusiast.
We also share our thoughts on Stern Pinball's Transformers Pro, discuss why game code can make or break a machine over time, revisit the launch of Jersey Jack Pinball's Sonic the Hedgehog, and talk about one of the more unique ideas we've seen in the hobby...a pinball cruise!

*Dungeon Crawler Carl teaser artwork appears in this thumbnail for commentary purposes. Original artwork was publicly shared on Facebook by Matt Dinniman.
