Episode 58 - DEATHSAVES
Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/wedgeheadpodcast
We are joined on this episode by admitted cheater, local Portland player Jeff Hart, to discuss the dark arts of pinball: The deathsave and it's little brother, the bangback.
We discuss the moves, the ethics of doing them from a player's and operator's perspective, and why they aren't allowed in tournament play. Alan argues for changes from the manufacturer to disable them, and Alex outs himself as a proud cheater too.
Warning: this is a show made by adults, and adult language is used throughout.
