DPP #248 "P3's and BOF Dreams" Jul 26, 2026

Show notes

Well what do you know, not much, but here it is anyway! Do I know what the new Barrels of Fun game is? I think I do, or at least 3 things it could be and a great way to launch it.

ALSO Dungeon Crawler Carl is about to have its pinball moment!! Also also I have found a way to truly evaluate the P3 system at home that I'm very excited about!

I have a new partnership with sponsor Kingpin Games for the P3 universe of games! Chris over there is a homie and has just become a dealer so if you find yourself in need of a system or module from a dealer that will fight for you in the production line hit him up!

sales@kingpingames.net

He's taking a list right now for DCC games and taking orders on monday. Cool guy, I've bought from him before.

Still good with Mad Pinball for all other gaming needs info@madpinball.com

Let's go play some games!

DPP #245 "Monday Fish Fry" Jun 16, 2026

Show notes

MagiKarp!!!! The topper is revealed inadvertantly!! Too late to avert your eyes!

Stern topperpalooza continues, wish I had the games that they go to though. Oh well, let's look at TOTAN! She's good to look at but is she seaworthy?

Also what's in a number? Do limited number cutoffs excite you or are they meh, just give me the game?

Do you want to hear Hello Fresh and Surf Shark commercials during episodes? HECK NO! Head on over to patreon.com/donspinballpodcast and keep the sponsors at bay.

This is YOUR show! I'm here due to your efforts!

DPP #244 "Toppers and Museum Field Trips" Jun 09, 2026

Show notes

Let's get together for some awesome pinball talk!

We got hit with a new topper accessory out of nowhere this week. Reactions seem to be mixed but favorable. My question...what do YOU look for in a topper?

We talk soon-to-debut games as well! Rumor is more than Sonic is coming this month. What will the game of the summer be?!

Also I talk some Spooky stuff!

It's all good, it's all fun! I've got a C-3PO topper up for somebody. Reach out at donspinballpodcast@gmail.com or hit me up on the socials.

It's pinball time!

DPP #242 "Transformers! It's a game!" May 22, 2026

Show notes

What a cool game this is! Thanks so much to Stern pinball for the invite and sandwiches! Here how my time with the game went.

Assets, layout, art, and yeah, pretty much Transformers.

DPP #241 "The Lodi Episode" May 17, 2026

Show notes

Oh man what a uniquely fun time I just had out in Lodi. Golden State Pinball Festival is too generic a name for this show. Be sure to check it out next year and plan to bring a tent/RV/Designated driver when you do because it is something else!!

Also be sure to sick around for the multimorphic minute as we celebrate Weird Al and the P3 platform.

Thanks to everyone who made the show a success!

A full trip report will be over on Patreon.com/donspinballpodcast
