Love this being done during the day and the level of detail and explanation. Please go back and do this for the older games, like AIQ, Batman, TMNT, Jurassic…., and do this level of explanation.
👏👏👏👏 This is EXACTLY (almost) what Jack and Mike should have done. The problem with yours is that there’s still 30-40 minutes you have to wade through to get a 10 second tip. What they should do is not do this time code list AFTER the video, they should do it first and stick to some timings. So they should write a list of 10 topics or whatever that they are going to talk about and a-lot, say, 5 mins to each one and keep to the timing before moving onto the topic. Then release the time code stamps afterwards. That is how to do it properly, not just turn on the camera and ramble endlessly in a completely random way for 2 hours. Then Finnish off with a 5 min Q+A at the end.
This version code is just night and day different. It begs the question why they released it so poorly in that terrible state a year ago. It had to have hurt their sales. This is a game that actually looks fun and involved now. The initial launch has to be the worst I’ve ever seen. Worse than Halloween and Cactus. This game now actually looks good. Well done for turning it around, but alas, probably too late. If I were Stern I’d give this a big big push before the manufacturing stops. I know it’s crazy but even with a new cabinet design to indicate that this is now essentially a new game! There must be a ton of JB fans that passed on this initially who are potential customers.
Wouldn’t it be great if pinball companies went to the trouble of making proper tutorial videos with game footage rather than have a guy standing by a machine for 2hrs talking to someone off camera while nothing is actually going on. Does Mike know he’s meant to be talking to us, not Jack lol? At least after 10 minutes of banging on and on they took the glass off. How about doing a nice 20 minute, scripted, edited video that puts all this into one concise feature so that we don’t have to waste 2 freaking hours of our life wading through waffle. The irony is that after all this does anyone understand any better all the features? Maybe they pick up a tip or two but most of it just goes over your head and there’s no menu or structure to it at all where you can jump to a time code to get an explanation of something. Don’t get me wrong, it would take a lot of effort to do it right, so I guess it’s just not what anyone wants to do. As for referencing, Jack.… how about creating a time code menu and at least beforehand drawing up a 10 point bullet list of things you are wanting to explain so that people can find it rather than a big conglobulated mess. Just my constructive criticism, that’s all.
My thoughts as well. While I really appreciate THIS video being on TH-cam, I agree with this comment by @adamstar7562. I produce online training materials AND I'm a big fan of pinball, and the 007 pinball machine. I'd be willing to donate some time to this project if the folks at Dead Flip are interested. The games these days are MUCH more complex, so it takes some orientation and explanation to help folks get into the game and better enjoy the experience. Most people aren't going to invest the time in long videos.

Alternatively, you could just edit your videos appropriately

Glad this ended up on TH-cam. I jumped in on the last 30 seconds of the stream. Loving the code updates.
Love this game. Thank you for putting this video together. Much love
This game is really starting to shine. It was fun to shoot at launch but it felt unfinished. I'm excited to play more and possible own.
Great to see you streaming again JD. Miss you!
Great to have some explanations for this pin. So now I know how to make more points… It doesn’t make shots easier though 🤣
Love this pin. probably my favorite made ever
I so love/hate, all at once. Bunny Rider is so funny.
So stern made you give up dead flip I assume ?

"rock and roll"
This game gets crapped on; I think it's a fun shooter and design by GG
