In this episode of The FlipSide, we dive into some big questions—did I buy Metallica?—along with exciting updates, like the new "Lights Out" feature in John Wick, a nod to Caine’s character in John Wick 4, thanks to code developer Tim Sexton. My Uncanny X-Men LE also got a fresh code update with new Expo content. Expo 2024 was a blast—highlighted by Metallica—but I regret missing the freeplay room! I connected with fantastic people like Jason Mucha, Ryan Blaine, Matt Stringer, and had a great time chatting with the Triple Drain crew, though Joel was nowhere to be found (someone do a wellness check, please—LOL). Congrats to Chris Turner for selling all 100 Ninja Eclipse games—can’t wait to see what’s next from Turner Pinball! Also, a friendly reminder from experience: don’t post comments when you’re cranky or hangry—save it for when you’re in a good mood! Plus, we're now taking voicemail questions, so tune in for all the latest pinball news, insights, and community updates!
