Our pal Jeff Johnsen, the operator of Walt's in LA, is back on the show to defend the last pinball machine that the original Stern Electronics company ever made, Orbitor 1.
Jeff tells us about the historical significance of the game, including the two pinball outsiders and NASA engineers, who brought their concept and ideas for an entirely new play experience to a company under duress, and convinced them to take the leap and manufacture one of the most hated pinball machines of all time in the process.
What most people write off as a weirdo art project novelty, Jeff argues that it's actually a real pinball machine and is very controllable and satisfying to play once you take the time to learn it. The internet disagrees...HARSHLY.
As always, we are adults and speak like them. There are a few naughty words used throughout.
