Hosts: Joel Engelberth, Tom Graf and Travis Murie
Guest: Keith Elwin

We like talking pinball and pinball design so who better to invite onto the show than Keith Elwin himself. We went into this episode with no agenda and just wanted to talk game theory with one of the greats. We chatted about physical design, rules and mode design as well as the perceived value in a pinball machine today. I know I loved the conversation and we hope you guys do too. How we have made it to 70 episodes I don’t really know but thanks for all the support!!

Thanks again for all the support everyone:)

Triple Drain Pinball Podcast Episode 70 - Elwin is back and he is dropping truth bombs!

Hosts: Joel Engelberth, Tom Graf and Travis Murie

Chicago Pinball Expo has come and gone and we had a blast! In this episode we discuss Tom’s newest game as well as our initial impressions of Winchester Mystery House. This leads into a discussion on what Barrels of Fun and Spooky are doing right and how 3D sculpts add to the feeling of quality within a pinball machine. Joel wants to talk code again so we dive into Star Wars Fall of the Empire and the challenges it presents on using all the provided assets but keeping the game simple enough to understand. Is it possible to make a modern day fan layout fun or do playfields have to be dynamic? We also discussed our thoughts on The Walking Dead Remake reveal. Honestly we talked about a bunch of different stuff and I hate writing these summaries so hopefully you ignore them entirely and just click play. Enjoy!

Triple Drain Pinball Podcast Episode 66 - Joel Bought a Game!!!

Hosts: Joel Engelberth, Tom Graf and Travis Murie

We are back with another action packed episode where we tackle many of life’s tough questions like: Does Tom like his Kong Pro? Does he regret not getting an LE?! Are there things Tom thinks Keith Elwin did wrong that need fixed? Is Travis an idiot? Does Travis have one nonnegotiable rule that Harry Potter didn’t follow? Is Joel buying a Harry Potter? Does Joel actually understand the code in Harry Potter? Will Tom make it to Lumberjack Johnny’s today to play Harry Potter? Do the three hosts talk too much before getting to the meat and potatoes of the podcast? Is Travis really the face of Triple Drain? Is Joel actually terrible at pinball? Is Jared actually good at pinball? Is anyone reading this? Is Travis still an idiot?? These questions and much more are answered on this episode so buckle up and enjoy :)
