    What's your favourite gimmick?

    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. https://www.blahcadepinball.com/blahcade-277/
