Well heck, I played it and I liked it and I think other people will too. Listen for my thoughts, no spoilers here lol.Need a Bon Jovi? [email protected] to come from SFGE this weekend. Love you guys.

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.
