This has been the strangest week in pinball. What is going on? Everyone is angry, accusing each other of leaking this, or trashing that. We got 3 new pinball releases this week and we all need some time to process. No one is making you buy anything. Let's just breathe and play some games. There's bigger issues out there than this. It's an appeal to sanity everybody! Myself included.

What a stellar release week we've had! Some very polarizing choices. I will be clear that every game will be fun to play and locations should get them, maybe. But at these prices I think we should demand more. I'll get into that all here! It's the Barrels of Fun and Multimorphic episode!! Need P3 gear? sales@kinpingames.net Need Pinball and cool people to hang out with? info@madpinball.com Like me? You are awesome! come on over to patreon.com/donspinballpodcast and show your love!! Also livestreams!

Well what do you know, not much, but here it is anyway! Do I know what the new Barrels of Fun game is? I think I do, or at least 3 things it could be and a great way to launch it. ALSO Dungeon Crawler Carl is about to have its pinball moment!! Also also I have found a way to truly evaluate the P3 system at home that I'm very excited about! I have a new partnership with sponsor Kingpin Games for the P3 universe of games! Chris over there is a homie and has just become a dealer so if you find yourself in need of a system or module from a dealer that will fight for you in the production line hit him up! sales@kingpingames.net He's taking a list right now for DCC games and taking orders on monday. Cool guy, I've bought from him before. Still good with Mad Pinball for all other gaming needs info@madpinball.com Let's go play some games!

Here it is! The rumors were true and Turner Pinball looked to have crushed it with Yukon Yeti! The follow up to Whitewater from the 90's is here! I have been able to look over the assets for the new machine and here's my 'first look' takeaway. Game looks fun! Look at that ramp! Order banks are open now over at Turnerpinball.com and/or through high quality distributors like Mad Pinball! info@madpinball.com Game ships this summer! Way to go Chris and team!
