Real, physical pinball will make it’s first appearance ON THE MAIN STAGE at the next Summer Games Done Quick (SGDQ)!
The full schedule is set to be released on or about May 15th. However we have the confirmation now that pinball, with its real-life level of “RNG”, will get the full spotlight at this year’s charity event.
I had the privilege of playing a live tutorial of Pokémon by Stern Pinball, with Software Developer Tanio Klyce and Game Designer Jack Danger, in front of an audience at Texas Pinball Festival.
While Tanio and Jack were representing Stern, I was an independent representative of … well … myself. So, like the seminar attendees, I wanted to know what updates were being planned for this game.
Dan and Arin play “It’s a Pinball Game That Makes You Mad”. One of them gets mad. If you know the YouTube channel Game Grumps, then you already know which one that is. Who is going to tell them that there are a large number of real pinball games that will also make you mad?

Ryan McQuaid (YouTube: McSquidification) records a submission for the upcoming Summer Games Done Quick speedrunning event.
I hope we see this on the stage at Summer Games Done Quick with Game Designer Scott Danesi “on the couch” for commentary.

Here is a time when I could definitely say I was “LOCKED IN” or “IN THE ZONE” while playing pinball. At District 82 Arcade, it’s me vs. Police Force with the “TAKE HIGHEST SCORE” challenge set to 8 ramps in a row. Also, JACKPOT is lit. 8 consecutive ramps needed to win the game.

I miss the time back in the day when I didn’t care if a fire engine drove through a wall while was playing. I’ve heard that you tend to get nervous about things you care about. Maybe I care about this too much.
It’s a tutorial on my second favorite pinball game, Twilight Zone! What?! A stop-and-go game is among my favorite pinball games in the whole wide world?! Blasphemy!
Be ready to defend or at least react to ball deflections, misses, even targets that you shoot on purpose. It’s a visceral translation of The Black Knight’s power.
