Erika's Pinball Journey
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 19 ก.ย. 2022
Hi, I’m Erika! As a filmmaker turned pinball enthusiast, I embarked on an exciting journey into the world of pinball in February 2022. After buying my first pinball machine, there was no turning back. Join me as we explore, learn, and celebrate everything pinball together!
I Played Avatar Pinball And It Changed Everything
I had the amazing opportunity to go to the Jersey Jack Pinball factory for their Media Day. Manu Smith (Mystery Pinball Theater 3000) and I got to dive into the brand-new Avatar pinball machine! This video share our initial reactions and thoughts about the game, from the immersive playfield to the overall design. I was pretty happy with the experience, and we discussed what stood out to us during gameplay.
Although I was sponsored to make this trip, all thoughts and opinions shared in this video are entirely my own. Whether you’re a movie fan or just curious about the newest addition to the Jersey Jack lineup, join us as we explore Avatar pinball for the first time!

The Untold Story behind Pinball Brothers New Ripley Version
Sorry, nothing new here. . . Stranger Things already did the UV thing, and did it better. . . but awesome video and earned a sub....!!!!
Stranger things is pretty lame. Brian Eddy made three great games in the past and can't catch that lightning in the bottle again.
Erika, what happened to your leg?? :o
I tore a tendon in my foot 😅 I’m on the road to recovery though. Should be 100% in 2025
@@erikaspinballjourney you tore it fighting over a pinball machine? lol. Hope you feel better soon. ❤😃
JJP has finally shown what 12k can look like, now does it make me wanna spend that much? Still a big no from me, but the more I see the way they use their games software/code, lights, LCD etc it makes Spike 2 seem EXTERMELY outdated. Has me wondering if the bad code/un-fun modes/lights coming from Stern is starting to be a software limitation now. If you have played EJ or Avatar from JJP or Scooby-Doo, TCM or Looney Tunes from Spooky I think you see their systems seem far ahead of Stern now.
You bring up some good points. I think for me to get a JJP I’d need an aftermarket pin. But I know the prices still hold pretty well. Glad to see everyone raising the bar tho! Pinball has come a long way.
Happy to hear the flippers shoot like Elton Johns which in my experience has been the best JJP game to date.
Yeah! They feel great 😄🤘not as fast and flowy as Elton, but still a fun game with great shots.
Definitely looking forward to playing xmen, and Avatar!
Gratz!! And can't wait to play avatar and xmen
Jaws for the badges, X-men for the Hype
Congratulations on the 1k+ subs!
X-Men of course!
X-men!
Congrats on 1.2k! And I can't wait to play Uncanny X-Men!
Octoberfest
I didn't know you. I found you while looking for new videos talking about the JJP Avatar because I pre-ordered the Collectors edition. you reassure me I think I made a good purchase. Thank you for your video, I liked your publication and I will follow your next adventure in the field of Pinball. Thank you for what you do 🙏 thank you for existing🙏
Once you get your game I’m sure you’ll love it! It has a lot to offer and looks amazing 🤩 congrats on your purchase 🙌
Super cool video!
Oh my gosh thanks so much! I’m a fan of the shenanigans! 😄🤘
@@erikaspinballjourney Oh right on! Thanks back at ya :)
unfortunately i have the same problem 😟
#pinballproblems 😅😝
Bitchin' 360 degree video - thanks! This really shows the factory like no other. Just like being there and very informational too!
I loved what JJP did with all of you guys flying you out there. I would have loved to fly out from europe to see all that. For a split second i was thinking about selling my GNR for this game but i will not let that game go for any game i think.
Yeah it was awesome! Glad you love your GNR 😊 we all have a game bolted for us 🤓 My Lord of the Rings is that game!
The trouble with JJP $12k and $15k price tag
Yeah, the price is a tough one for me too. They don’t seem to be coming down in price anytime soon. So it’s just a game I gotta save up a bit more to make the purchase. 😅 Until then I’ll be playing on location 🤓
Awesome looking guys
Yeah 😄🤘
So good.
🤣
Love it!
360 view of Manu's head! Win!
Haha right!?
Wait, the next pinball table is MST3K themed? Fantastic!
Haha I wish! But Manu does provide great content 😊
Great content-keep it up!
Wow thank you 🙏 I’ll keep trying 😊
Avatar looks like one of the greatest machines of all time.
It’s an amazing game for sure. The team should be so proud 😊
I was going to comment that you need to adjust your mic, but it makes sense that it wasn't even on! lol
I thought to mention it in the beginning, but then I realize people might focus a bit too much on it then haha so I left it for the end. Thanks for the watch!
I really like this format of video in which you are giving your initial impressions with Manu right after playing it rather than on a audio podcast. It was great seeing you as well!
Thank you! Yeah I’m a very visual person so I enjoy this format as well 😊 And yeah great seeing you at Enterrium! I’ll see you soon at Expo!
This was good info. I can’t wait to play it. UV effect sounds like the old tron arcade. So I worked on many locations machines. JJPs are nice to work on. But I am gonna echo same thing many others have. It cost to much to make a profit. Great Video
I don’t yet own an arcade or operate games, so I can’t speak for this entirely true. But at least for the first few months and as a great touchstone theme I think it could do well. Once it’s on location I guess we’ll find out 😊 Thanks for watching!
The pinball community could really use more people like Erika.
Oh my gosh thank you for your kind words 🥹🙏
how fun to move the camera around! thanks for doing this Erika! hope your foot is getting better
Yeah! It’s a great way to really see the factory 😊 and on the road to recovery 🙏 thank you!
What a great look around at the factory. Literally lol.. man I need me some of these invites! Heck I'm local-ish so it only makes sense! Glad to see you are somewhat back up onto 2 feet..get well soon!
Thank you! And they seem to want to do these again! So maybe next time! 😄🤘 And thanks 🙏 haha hobbling a bit but trying!
Very cool tour and extra awesome that it's in 360. Gonna pop on my Quest 3 to get the full experience.
Yo I love watching these on my Quest 3 too! Enjoy!
Nice! I love the freedom of swiveling around on the video. That 360 cam is paying off! Thanks again for sharing this stuff!
Yeah! It’s my pleasure to film these 😊 Glad you enjoy them!
Wow. I love the 360 video!!
I’m so glad! I love it too 😄🤘
Sweet walkthrough! I hope you get to do more of these.
Yeah I’ve been digging it! Prob gonna do 360’s of my local arcades too 😄 Stay tuned for more!
@@erikaspinballjourney Nice! I totally forgot youtube supports 360 vids until I saw yours. Perfect use case for it.
Super sick! Appreciate the upload Erika!
@@McR3VOLUTI0N you’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice vidéo from a pinball fan in France 🇫🇷 !!! I just discover your page and I appreciate your energy !thank you for sharing our passion ,pinball machine are not very popular in France but I Hope pinball will back in the pub and cafe in Paris !!! Big like and substruction at your Channel 😊
Wow thank you so much for your kind words 🙏 glad you enjoyed the video!
Now, where will there be lessons on how to fix them?
I have asked Stern and they seem to be working on those. I personally won’t be able to make those videos.
So jealous!!!😮
It was fun! If you go to Pinball Expo in October they have this tour available. If not I have a 360 JJP tour video uploading 😊 so stay tuned!
Hi Erica will there be a video of your visit at jjp for avatar
@filipstevens6263 hi 👋 there will be! I’m currently editing a few videos from the trip along with some other videos I have yet to post. So stay tuned!
@@erikaspinballjourney awesome 😎
Nice😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Great! Gameplay video coming today?
Congrats on the invite! I was wondering how many they are going to bring to expo and thought it would be cool if they could have them in a dimly lit room or canopy to be able to really get the feel for the light show. Would love to be anle to hear the game music, sound effects and callouts. Are they hoing to do a live stream so we can see how it shoots?
@@TiltingT thank you so much! I’ll be sure to ask them and follow up 😊
@TiltingT they said they will have several games to play at expo. Maybe around 10? And are going to look into making a darker area to see the lighting effect. 😊
@@erikaspinballjourneyThat's awesome to hear! Glad they will be bringing several games and are looking into displaying them in a darker area si we can experience the game the way they built it to be experienced! Thanks so much for asking and reporting back! Now the real question was it fun? Does it shoot as well as Elton John?
Awesome sauce! I can't wait to hear about and see some of your experiences. That game is fire!!!
@@combochuck thank you! I’m excited to share!
I want to make this experience as amazing for you all as it is for me! So, if you have any questions about the new Avatar game, the company, or anything else you’re curious about, drop them in the comments below! ⬇️ I’ll do my best to get the answers straight from the source and bring you all along on this wild ride. Thank you for all your support-let’s make this moment count together! I hope to make you all proud!
When I get out of college I’m going to try and start building machines like the older mechanical variants.
You can take an older EM (electro mechanical) pinball (or design your own from scratch).but in either case, make it solid state buy using circuit boards from FastPinball so it will be easier to maintain.
Feel free to reach out when you get to Philadelphia and I will get you plugged into some great spots and if it's over a weekend, visibility to your TH-cam channel.
That’s so much! Will do! I’ll add to my list 😊
Home version. Pshh I want the full X-Men one More expensive but man does it look amazing!
you sound way better than the video about the five best tables from 2000 - Now. more enthused, more into it, more lucid. maybe that was just a tired day? your enthusiasm is a real attribute. good stuff!
Wow thank you so much. Yeah the more videos I made the more I get into the flow of things. I appreciate your support! 😄
