81: The Name Dropper




Brokentoken Classic Arcade and Pinball Podcast show

Summary: We are in the fortunate position this month to have the esteemed Nicholas Baldridge of the "For Amusement Only: The E.M. &amp; Bingo Pinball Podcast" sit in with us this month for tri-hosting duties as we run him through the (un)ceremonious wringer as we talk all things Pinball and the new publication "Coin-Op Carnival". If you've not heard of this publication, then please go check it out (https://www.coinopcarnival.com/) and then come back and listen to this episode.<br> <br> If you'd rather just dive right in, then here's the abridged version: Coin-Op Carnival is a joint venture with Nick and his co-creator Ryan Claytor (of Elephant Eater Comics) and is a 4-volume series that features interviews with E.M. Pinball game designer(s), an E.M. pinball game reviews, in-depth technical articles (E.M. tech explained, etc.), industry-related comics and more. It's great fun and it feeds the brain as well - we guarantee you'll learn something about the early days of Pinball or Brent will give you your money back!<br> <br> We also catch up on a bit of industry news, talk about a new arcade component reproduction that has literally been years in the making and lament the last call of Batman '66 before Stern "shuts it down forever".<br> <br> All this and more in 81!
