  Dirty Pool Podcast - Ep37 - Serge from Electric Bat - The Art of Pinball Commentary

  Aug 14, 20262h 12m

  ▶ Full Dirty Pool Podcast Playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLS9lWVjGsygallsiz2_TJ_oxIlhl29fLC&si=iLC8oBnZfl_U7pJj Serge from Electric Bat joins us for Podcast 37. Serge has spent a lot of time behind the mic calling tournament pinball, so we wanted to dig into how he approaches it. How much homework goes into a broadcast? How do you explain a game without talking over it? What do you do when absolutely nothing interesting is happening? Serge has a great perspective on the game from the other side of the glass, and this felt like a good excuse to finally get him on and talk about it. Plus he promised after I tricked him to play Bon Jovi after his trip to LA.

We’ll talk about how a homemade Gottlieb Surf Champ score-reel clock grew into a fully licensed business, the engineering hidden inside each clock, working with original game artwork, and the strange process of building a creative niche inside an already very specific creative niche. Also how to bring these products to market and showing them at conventions to reveal the mystery behind the billion dollar lucrative business of pinball arts and crafts. /s The original clock documented on pinside: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/gottlieb-score-reel-clock-project We’ll also get into the one-of-a-kind Great Pyramid clock Philippe made for Dirty Pool, complete with a moving eye that watches back. Pretty damn cool. 🔺 Praise the Great Pyramid: 📡 Twitch https://twitch.tv/dirtypoolpinball 📺 YouTube https://youtube.com/@dirtypoolpinball 📷 Instagram https://instagram.com/dirtypoolpinball 📘 Facebook https://facebook.com/dirtypoolpinball 👕 Apparel https://www.dirtypoolpinball.com #pinball #dirtypoolpodcast #ayscrimstudios #pinballart #pinballcommunity #art #hobbyart

  ▶ Full Dirty Pool Podcast Playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLS9lWVjGsygallsiz2_TJ_oxIlhl29fLC&si=iLC8oBnZfl_U7pJj Mike Vinikour (MXV) has had one of the more unusual careers in pinball. From testing games at Williams/Bally Midway during the arcade era, to competitive Mortal Kombat, to helping shape modern Stern Pinball software and rules, he's been involved with games from several different angles. In Episode 35 of the Dirty Pool Podcast, we'll be talking about Mike's path through the game industry, how rule design has evolved, balancing depth with accessibility, software testing, field testing, working with designers, the realities of developing modern Stern machines, and plenty of stories from both the arcade and pinball worlds. We'll also get into his photography, massive vinyl collection, and whatever unexpected rabbit holes the conversation decides to find. 🔺 Praise the Great Pyramid: 📡 Twitch https://twitch.tv/dirtypoolpinball 📺 YouTube https://youtube.com/@dirtypoolpinball 📷 Instagram https://instagram.com/dirtypoolpinball 📘 Facebook https://facebook.com/dirtypoolpinball 👕 Apparel https://www.dirtypoolpinball.com 00:00:00 - Intro 00:01:12 - Mike’s Record Collection 00:02:50 - Why Vinyl Matters 00:06:45 - Guessing the Record Count 00:08:44 - 16,000 Records 00:09:32 - Choosing What to Play 00:13:28 - Mortal Kombat Begins 00:16:36 - 105 Wins in MK2 00:18:10 - Meeting Midway at a Punk Show 00:20:16 - Revolution X and Game Testing 00:21:20 - Helping Build Midway QA 00:22:50 - The Punk Vault 00:23:40 - Photography and Punk Zines 00:26:53 - Favorite and Worst Shows to Shoot 00:29:18 - Getting to Stern 00:30:00 - Growing Up With Pinball 00:31:14 - Lyman Sheets Pushed for Mike 00:32:30 - George Gomez and Stern 00:34:08 - Working With Lyman on Batman 66 00:37:18 - James Bond and John Wick 00:38:26 - The “Saved the Game” Misunderstanding 00:40:48 - Rule Design Without Programming 00:42:10 - Earning Trust at Stern 00:43:18 - Working With Dwight Sullivan 00:46:00 - The MXV Skill Shot 00:48:23 - Secret Skill Shots and Mortal Kombat 00:49:40 - NDAs and Keeping Secrets 00:52:00 - Keith Elwin Made It a Thing 00:52:33 - Godzilla as Mike’s Favorite Game 00:54:10 - When a Rule Fails 00:55:28 - The Game Tells You 00:56:45 - Working With Lonnie Ropp 00:59:10 - Are Modern Rules Too Complex? 01:00:16 - Designing for New and Expert Players 01:01:10 - Risk and Reward 01:03:31 - Multiple Ways to Blow Up a Game 01:04:42 - Shot Difficulty in Rule Design 01:06:08 - Music Pins Without Being a Jukebox 01:08:32 - Dream Theme: Skinny Puppy 01:09:48 - Designing Around the Toy 01:10:42 - George Gomez’s Creative Brain 01:13:07 - Mike’s Basement Collection 01:15:08 - Work-Life Balance With Pinball 01:15:48 - The Raven Question 01:18:10 - Expo, Portland, and Shows 01:20:32 - Top Punk Albums 01:21:35 - Punk Rock Pinball Shoutout 01:24:00 - Raid and Praise the Great Pyramid 01:25:10 - Outro #pinball #sternpinball #dirtypoolpodcast #podcast #arcade
