There is a new update over at PinGame Journal about the next Stern machine, which is TRON. It looks pretty cool - three flippers, plenty of ramps. It's from the same team that made Iron Man and Avatar. Plus it's got the Daft Punk music from the soundtrack. I look forward to seeing this thing on location! I have yet to play their new Rolling Stones game yet. Anyone played that yet?
I had the good fortune of being able to play pretty-much all the new Stern games (including the Rolling Stones pin) at the Michigan Pinball Expo a couple weeks back. The RS game was a hoot. I've never been a huge Stones fan, so I wasn't enamored, but it did have this figure of Mick Jagger which swooshes back and forth across mid-playfield. It was sort of fun because, while I THINK he only functions as an obstacle and doesn't deal out any points (I'm still a noob, so don't quote me on Mick's functionality or lack thereof) it was still great fun to whack the bjesus out of him with a well-placed silver-ball to the shins. Hope you get a chance to play it!

Sounds fun, Ryan! I'll have to keep an eye out for it. Hopefully I can play it soon. Glad to hear you enjoyed issue #2! Jon and I are already scheming on issue #3, which should be out by the end of the summer. All details will be posted on this blog!
