**EXCLUSIVE interview with deeproot Pinball:

http://thisweekinpinball.com/exclusive-interview-deeproot-next-misadventure-pinball-revolution/

"deeproot Pinball has been quietly making progress on their path and plan to become a major pinball manufacturing company. They have been in licensing talks for several major pinball titles. They are hoping to have their manufacturing facility finalized in the next 2-3 weeks."

**EXCLUSIVE interview with deeproot Pinball:
Based on that interview I'll rate deeproot a 10 in the arrogance department. In the interview they come off as a bunch of egotistical pricks. A lot of lawyer speak laced throughout the interview, even on some of the simpler questions. I defy anyone to read that entire interview and not feel dirty by the end of it. Pinball is easy. I'm glad TWIP asked the questions I wanted to know the answers too. There's more to pinball that just building a machine. What about software? What about updates? What about defects found in the field? What about warranty? It feels like there is a layer of filth over this company. Maybe that's where the deeproot name comes into play.

Around the Playfield with Gary Stern:

http://thisweekinpinball.com/around-playfield-gary-stern/

Welcome to our new series!

We ask Gary the following questions:

The Start Button: How did you first get into pinball?

The Plunge: What was the first pinball machine you bought?

The Skill Shot: What is your best pinball achievement or favorite pinball moment?

Good Shots, Bad Bounces: What is your favorite and least favorite pinball machine?

The Wizard Mode: What is your dream theme you’d like to see made into a pinball machine?

The Tilt: What is the dumbest mistake you’ve made in pinball (mishap moving a machine, messing up trying to fix a machine, etc.)?

The High Score: Describe the pinball hobby in one word.

Match – Next Game: Where do you see the pinball hobby in 5-10 years?
