Pinball: Coverage covers our Toy Story 4 thoughts now that we've played the game, a Q&A summary from Spooky Pinball, a topper update from Chicago Gaming Company, a Spinal Tap update from Homepin, a new theme reveal from the defunct deeproot Pinball, and we play a new game submitted by Matt Roberts. Of course we end with Rumor Corner. Video Games: This segment covers a variety of movies being developed based on video games, a run-down on Embracer as the parent company of seemingly everything, and some Overwatch 2 news.

Dennis Kriesel and Tony Kurkowski host the Eclectic Gamers Podcast-Pinball & Video Games, a conversation that dives deep into the worlds of arcade cabinets and digital entertainment. While the show’s heart lies in these two core passions, pinball often takes center stage, with detailed discussions on machines, techniques, and the vibrant community surrounding the silver ball. Video games, from retro classics to modern releases, provide a rich counterpoint, ensuring there’s always a mix of topics. True to its name, this podcast isn’t afraid to venture beyond the expected; you’ll occasionally hear them explore tabletop RPGs, card games, and other corners of the gaming universe. The tone is relaxed and informed, feeling more like a chat between knowledgeable friends than a formal review show. Each episode is built around those permanent segments dedicated to pinball and video games, offering consistency within a broad spectrum of interests. For anyone who finds joy in the click of flippers, the glow of a screen, or the roll of a dice, this eclectic mix delivers thoughtful commentary and genuine enthusiasm.
