Rush has always had a underground culture following. During the eighties while all the other bands had to use commercials to fill the seats. Rush never advertised and always sold out. Once you experience Rush live, you were a fan for life.

You two are a big reason I’m ‘into’ pinball. Don’t own one yet myself $$ but love watching your content and definitely have a perfect home lineup built in my head. As most would agree we love the content and can’t wait for more!

I agree with Greg. Rush is a great game, and the code is awesome. I wasn't a rush fan but became one. Great job, guys. Happy New Year!!

I always find your back-and-forth banter to be fun and informative. Good luck with your company for 2023 and keep the videos coming.

Great to see a new video from you guys in the New Year. Hope you are recovering well and thanks as always for the entertainment.

I have a Rush Pro and love it. I waited for the expression lighting but thankfully I added pin stadium Neos. Takes this game to a new level. Love it!

That background of all those pins all lite up is a work of art. Best art a room could ask for! The toppers really give it a Punch.

You got me into using machines for our business. Pinball is still very much alive!

U guys are the best n deserve the twipy love what you do. I’ve got 2 more weeks of radiation treatment n planning to get Cactus Canyon if I can recoup my funds. Keep up the great job.

The great thing about insider connect is you can log-in mid game! I was playing TMNT and hit a new high score and quickly scanned my phone to nail down that proof! The best part of 2022 was I joined the hobby through Zach with TMNT Premium! I underestimated how heavy the backbox side it trying to carry down a flight of stairs to the basement. The whole family has been playing a ton out of the game and having fun. I've been able to introduce my 3 and 5 year-olds to the old TMNT series I watched as a kid.

No mention of Haggis Pinballs remake of Bally's Fathom? That was a 2022 release, for the most part, and I think they knocked it out of the park with quality and respect to detail from the original. If rumors hold true; they have Bally's Xenon and Centaur on the horizon and they are going to have to get their production rolling on getting those Fathom machines out and about. Here's wishing you both a very Happy New Year. The two of you bring a lot of fun and passion to the pinball world and I enjoy hearing what you both have to say. Cheers!

WHY did Greg get rid of his Godzilla?! I feel he needs to explain:) Fun vid guys, ty

How about The Fifth Element for a pin? I think it would be a slam dunk as the imagery and callouts would be an absolute gold mine as far as theme is concerned. I've brought it up in numerous forums and people agree it would be amazing, but it doesn't seem to be even remotely on any manufacturer's radar. In fact I never even hear anyone even mention it as a possible theme until I randomly bring it up in various discussions. I'm curious as to both of your thoughts on this? Happy New Year boys.

Rush has a following unlike alot of bands who will buy whatever new thing out there. Like G&R...you might as well capitalize on the fan base that would pay for it now rather than never ever. Rush is GOAT hands down. Band and pin haha!!

You Boyz are the best in pinball news/hype/goof..keep rockin' it!

Excellent as always chaps. Bigger, better, faster, more for 2023. Sincere thanks for your input for Pinheads 😎

Alien has such a great theme, it just pulls you in.

Thanks for this video and all the videos you two make together. Hope to see more in the coming year! Happy New Year!

Thank you for another great year of content! You guys need to do a weekly show like this.....with the addition of a market trends segment. Hehe

Great show. Haven’t watched in awhile, but the reason why people accuse y’all of “shilling” is because in old content Zach used to be extremely critical of game issues, and the second he bought Flip ‘n Out he became 99% positive about everything. At this point I think he’s found his lane and is balanced in praise and criticism which helps fans better trust the content.

Greg, I didn't know you had a channel lol Just subscribed to the channel. I know nothing of Pinball, but just supporting the channel

Awesome stuff again boys!! Love your videos. Should be more. Here’s to a big 2023!!

Great show! Haven't heard about a lot of these pinball machines yet, mostly stick around my local arcade 👾

Games I thought were going to be awesome but I found were disappointing. Led Zeppelin+Toy Story 4+Halloween. Games I thought would be boring but turned out to be the most fun. Guardians+Ninja Turtles+Godzilla

Thanks lads. Happy new year !!

Rad review, I am even more stoked to try Rush now! Happy Friggin New Year Greg and Zach!

No mention of Fathom (by Haggis) lads?

I'm glad to see a new video from you guys! hey, Zack, any idea when stern put out a topper for Godzilla? The game has been out for more than a year

Ha when he said it’s a pube and your grandma was visiting ,I subscribed wtf you guys are cool✌️🍺

got my vote for pinball show of the year on TWIPY awards

Bond is night and day now. Good call

Good show, but you guys missed mention of Fathom and the re-run of Total Nuclear Annihilation (Collector's Edition).

Zach is spot on about multimorphic. In a similar vein cgc flippers suck compared to Bally/Williams and are the main limitation for me in wanting to pick up one of their machines.

Great vid guys.

Thanks guys, you are the best. Love it!

PB taking care of me super well

What Zack doesn't understand about Rush is that they are STILL one of the most popular rock bands in the history of Rock n' Roll and their fan base (like me) are a cult who watched them in concert more then 10+ times in their lives (common with fans). The issue has always been that Rush has always been a love or hate band. The closest derivative in the Rock world is the Grateful Dead.

Yes, Rush is a fantastic theme (best band of all time) while Toy Story (a children's movie) sucks

Greg has the wildest pinball collection of all time. Halloween AND TS4. Insanity.

You should do videos like this reviewing each year going forward and also going back

Great Video, Mando review still planned?

Do you guys think pinball putchases are still going to be strong with the rate hike and inflation increases?

Another fun video. Thanks for new content

No Fathom?

Love seeing you guys !! Happy New Year guys !

You are both hilarious and entertaining

I think Stern will utilize IC to sell gift cards. Eventually you'll be able to put money on your IC account and pay for games on location by scanning your QR code. Reload your IC balance with gift cards. Something like that.

SDTM Zach & Greg = Still the best.

I wish they could make pinball more accessible to poor people lol like a table top that u can change out as new come out but the base stays the same

Cactus Canyon is bad ass

Have you played and/or reviewed the new QUEEN pinball distributed thru an Italian company and made in Scandinavia?

I can't wait for my Cactus Canyon SE+!!

I will say Bond pinball and glass onion got me to watch all the Daniel Craig Bond movies at least. Definitely excited to see where the code goes

Where’d you guys get those t shirts???

How long did you own the Godzilla before you sold it? May I ask what prompted the sale?

It's been my experience that "rock band" pinballs are usually pretty good. Kiss, Guns N Roses, Metallica, AC/DC, Led Zep, Iron Maiden, etc have all been a fun time. I'm not surprised that Rush is good. Megadeth should be next to get the pinball treatment.

I'm not a fan of Rush's music. But it's definitely one of Stern's best band pins since Iron Maiden

Zach play a P3 with the new flippers. We know you have a history with multimorphic, but at least play the latest hardware version before passing judgement. I jump between sterns, jjp, and weird Al and see little difference

Four machines to start a collection.

Two cousin in-laws from Indiana could never understand the alure of Rush.

I have played most of the pins. Cactus 🌵 Canyon by far the most fun to play 👍🏻

Is Cactus Canyon underpriced or TS4 overpriced?

I love Rush (the Band) but I really didn't like the flow of the pin...hard to describe, but I don't think it fits my style (or preference) of play. But I'm glad it's out there!

49:26 Not that it's impossible but people playing videogames are not spending $10k to buy a game before the dev asks them to hand over more, in fact it's been argued that subscriptions/battle passes, microtransactions etc. are the reason game prices have not followed inflation for many years, decades even, can't really say the same for pinball.

Somebody needs to make a pinball based on the first two hell raiser movies. Then when you’re playing, you can spend time in a real pinball hell!

Thanks!

Happy new year. 🙂

Greg is rockin that old man sweater. Happy New Year, no echo by the way.

I own Rush pro - amazing machine.

I loved this episode. I think you folks were fair on pretty much everything, except during your intro labeling weird Al and multimorphic second tier. They are totally second tier compared to stern and JJP as far as being big dogs / units sold. But the comment was in the context of game of the year. While I don’t think weird Al will win game of the year, I do think that the license? Game play and over all game are on par with Toy Story, rush, and bond. I don’t think it is a tier 2 game. You may not like it, but if you compare all the mechs and capability of the game, it is a tier 1 offering

Toy Story 4 was just an odd choice, as noted by being about just 4 turned off many, then you got the older audience that Pinball is mostly made up, again that hurt it. And then the crazy high price? Yea that just too many negatives against it when so many other popular games were there and announced. Local dealers just been sitting on unsold TS4 all year

Toy story cant be saved by code because when you walk up to the game the disappointment of so much of the prominent space and design potential being devoted to the least memorable characters is too overpowering. It is a 12k$ totem of wasted promise.

Super8 came out 10 years before Stranger Things...

rush is an updated austin powers thats what it reminds me of

Can’t believe p3 is still around.🤷🏼‍♂️

Fu k RUSH rocks, yaaa!

Does Greg’s sweater come with a code update?

Always thought a pin based on the current or future Grand Theft Auto video game would be a good theme for "Modern audiences".

The Mando topper and Bond 60th pin cash grabs;... Stern equals Greed...

I enjoy the rush game besides the music. I get I’m in the minority here but at 45 years old I have never been able to enjoy Geddy’s voice. BUT I do enjoy playing the table at my local arcade. I also like Led Zep because I love the music but the game is meh. That’s why I love this hobby, something for everyone!

Stern may have great service when it comes to their dealers, but they are atrocious when it comes to the end user. In the past year alone; I had to wait 7 months for them to send a part to fix my NIB, D.O.A., AIQ Premium, I had to file 3 credit card disputes against them for not shipping (or even knowing anything about) 3 orders I placed with them, (after months of waiting and being charged) and now I'm waiting on another dispute as they charged my credit card (without my consent) for an Insider Connect account I never signed up for and can not access or cancel. Nor do they ever answer any emails or return any phone calls. Stern makes great pins, but they are completely incompetent when it comes to their customer service practices. American Pinball, Spooky and Pinball Bros annihilate Stern in that regard.

Look behind you. Don't bother talking about cabinet art as nobody ever sees it in a connection. Machines take up room so they're always butted up to something

Toy story 4 is great

Toy story tanked because of Disney Corp and new toy story movie

Pepsi gross lol

talk about the NODE-10 Failure Issue in RUSH !!!! Game hasn’t worked for months!! Stern Has no answers!!! Buyer Beware!!!

Rush is a big let down know all the song and albums, just not that great of a pinball imo feels off

So you give a list of new pinball games and haven't even played all of them, and then you beg for gifts when you have a wall of 5k pinball tables. Ugh hard pass.

You're dead to me Zach.

STUPID PEPOLE RULE !

That Rush pinball looks like its got a fl*shlight in the middle of the playfield.

Please remove that annoying intro crap

Missed you guys happy new year guys 🎉🎉🎉

Nerdy Pinball guys just complain complain complain.
