    Show notes

    We Are Pinball #64 – NEW GAMES, BIG RUMORS, PINBALL DRAMA & THE GOONIES!

    WE ARE BACK, BABY! Don and Cengiz (RETROCENGO) are reunited for Episode #64, and after three weeks apart, there is a TON to talk about! We're bringing the energy, the laughs, the air horns, and some brutally honest opinions about everything happening in the world of pinball!

    This time we're recording on VIDEO too, so you can finally see the madness instead of just hearing it!

    What's on the menu this episode?

    🎸 AC/DC Remastered & Bon Jovi – Is Stern's AC/DC remake worth the money? And how did Barrels of Fun turn Bon Jovi into one of Don's favorite games? We're giving David Van Es the recognition he deserves!

    🎪 Cirqus Voltaire & Tales of the Arabian Nights – Don shares his hands-on impressions of American Pinball's gorgeous remake and Pedretti's incredible TOTAN.

    🔥 The Pinball Rumor Mill – Ghostbusters, Rambo, South Park, Beavis and Butt-Head, and more! What could be coming next?

    🎮 New Games Everywhere! – Fallout, Grateful Dead, Monster League Hockey, Dungeon Crawler Carl, and plenty of other new releases get the We Are Pinball treatment.

    💥 Pinball Expo Drama & Industry Politics – Cengiz has some things to get off his chest about Retro Ralph, and Don has plenty to say about content creators, manufacturers, honesty, and what happens when you refuse to play along. We aren't holding back!

    🏴‍☠️ SPOOKY SHIELD: THE GOONIES! – We're saving a big one for the end! The curtain is finally opening on Spooky Pinball's The Goonies, and we've got some exciting things to discuss about the game, its design, and what makes this release so special!

    And that's just scratching the surface. This is a massive episode packed with pinball news, personal stories, hilarious tangents, and the kind of unfiltered conversation you've come to expect from We Are Pinball.

  2. WE ARE PINBALL – EPISODE #63

    Season 2, Episode 63

    Show notes

    WE ARE PINBALL – EPISODE #63

    We’re back for Episode 63, and somehow they keep letting us make these.

    This week we attempt to discuss all the latest pinball releases, announcements, rumors, and general industry nonsense like responsible adults.

    We fail almost immediately.

    There’s plenty of talk about what’s new in pinball, what might be coming next, which rumors we actually believe, and the usual completely unfiltered conversations that have absolutely nothing to do with pinball—but somehow become 20-minute segments anyway.

    Basically, it’s another episode of We Are Pinball: pinball news surrounded by questionable opinions, inappropriate jokes, wild tangents, and the kind of conversations you probably shouldn’t play through the speakers at work.

    🔥 New pinball releases
    👀 Current rumors & speculation
    🤔 Opinions nobody asked for
    🍺 Completely unnecessary tangents
    🚫 Absolutely no adult supervision

    Want more of this nonsense?

    👉 Join us on Patreon: patreon.com/wearepinball

    Got a question, rumor, complaint, correction, terrible idea, or something you think we need to talk about?

    📧 wearepinball69@gmail.com

    Thanks for listening, thanks for supporting the show, and remember:

    We Are Pinball. Unfortunately.

  3. We Are Pinball #62 "Gimme (Fallout) Shelter!!!"

    Season 2, Episode 62

    Show notes

    We Are Pinball is back with Episode 62!

    The crew gets together for another round of honest pinball talk, strong opinions, questionable decisions, and the unpredictable tangents that make We Are Pinball what it is. We cover what’s happening around the hobby, share our unfiltered reactions, and probably say a few things we’ll regret later.

    The main show may be slightly more restrained than our Patreon episodes—but “slightly” is doing a lot of work there.

    Want the completely uncensored version, bonus episodes, adult conversations, and even more content that we probably shouldn’t release publicly? Join us on Patreon:
