This time we go deep on how much it costs to either have the best Quest 3 VR experience with pinball or on a cabinet with AtGames Legends Pinball 4K.
There's a lot to consider, and we're fans of both options!

Continued discussion of the Arcade2TV-XR controller and the software it comes with, Arcade Ranger and Pinball FX VR.
Show notes: https://www.blahcadepinball.com/blahcade-289/
On this episode, we discuss if the Arcade2TV-XR controller is the controller all us digital pinball players have been waiting for...or if it misses the mark. This is mostly a hardware discussion as we are saving the software discussion for next time.

In this episode, we dive into Zen's announcement for Pinball FX VR!
We also give our gut reaction to the Kickstarter for Wonderland Amusement's Alice Goes To Wonderland pinball machine. Is it a toy or is it more to it than this label?

This go around we've got a show packed full of shorter pinball topics:
Enjoy the mixed bag!https://www.blahcadepinball.com/blahcade-285/
It's the annual tradition of Chris giving his review of movies seen in the past year.

This go around Chris got his hands on Stern's Jurassic Park Home Edition at his local Costco and is here to address that price point.
Also on the show we look at the WORST pinball machines from Bally, Data East, Gottlieb, Sega, Stern, and Williams.
Let's see what debate that starts!
Show notes: https://www.blahcadepinball.com/blahcade-279/
Two new Zen tables to discuss in this episode:
But first we discuss a bit about Stern's Uncanny X-Men.
After the table talk, Chris talks a lot about recent movies he has watched, including why he loves Alien Romulus so much!

What would you put into a pinball machine if you could design your own from the ground up?
Chris and Jared debate over a list of things you normally find in pinball machines and build out their dream tables.
Should a table have flow, or will it be stop-and-go? Should you have drop targets everywhere or stand-up targets for sharpshooters to aim at?
Perhaps you'll join in and give your grail pinball fit-out in the comments? We'd love to hear what you reckon would make your table "just right" for you!
We touch briefly on the news about The Princess Bride and Goat Simulator releases coming later in August, but expect more detailed coverage about that after we get to play with the tables.

In this episode, Chris and Jared break down all the advantages and disadvantages of owning a real pinball machine versus a digital pinball cabinet. https://www.blahcadepinball.com/blahcade-276/
Since the last episode, seven tables have dropped on Pinball FX!
Chris and Jared take a look at them through an abbreviated play-through.
Before that happens, Chris talks about Zen's 45 new table packs coming to AtGames Legends Pinball 4K. https://www.blahcadepinball.com/blahcade-275/
Chris explains why the Gottlieb packs for the AtGames Legends Pinball 4K might leave you wondering if FarSight even tried. Also, three tables were announced for Pinball FX, so we give our thoughts based on what is in the trailer before they release in May 2024.

Zen Studios has partnered with Netflix for a free with subscription game called Zen Pinball Masters. Not only that, the studio has also released a brand new table, System Shock, for their Pinball M platform. Gregg from @SpaciesArcade also produced some cool videos to help Chris with VPX so he can get started fast with the AtGames Legends 4K Pinball and PC OTG.
