BlahCade Pinball Podcast

http://blahcadepinball.com/2017/06/13/Episode-103-Focus.html Have you ever played a Woodrail pinball and wondered why anyone in the day wanted to? Chris talks about his experience playing two older EMs and how gameplay has changed (for the better) over the years. We then discuss how your memory of playing a pinball table fades, and clouds your judgement about how it should play now. Have you ever...

http://blahcadepinball.com/2017/06/07/Episode-102-Trololo.html After a history lesson about a melodic meme we get stuck into some tuning talk.

http://blahcadepinball.com/2017/05/20/Episode-99-A-Mother-of-Days.html One episode away from the big one! The 100th episode!

We discuss the lineup Jared was looking forward to at Netherworld for the Brisbane Pinball Club May meet. Then we catch up with Chris to hear his latest progress on EBD (Firep...

http://blahcadepinball.com/2017/05/10/Episode-98-Clear-the-Field.html Two episodes away from the 100th episode!

It’s also the last days to get your f...

http://blahcadepinball.com/2017/04/15/Episode-95-King-of-Pin.html This episode turned out to be broken down into three distinct segments.
