Heading to the Pinball Expo this weekend and want to put up a better score on Foo Fighters? Take literally four minutes to watch this very short, but surgically helpful video by PGM member Rexershow on Foo Fighters (Stern 2023) pinball.
Rexer is a seriously good gamer and offers from time to short instructional videos on games he owns and plays on his YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@therexershow/). Yes, he owns a Foo Fighters premium pinball machine. but I don’t recall seeing many FF pinball vids on his channel, so this might mean he’s going to expand more into this area on his coverage (?). Hope so! I always enjoy watching videos from gamers that actually play their games.
As of this writing, Rexer has the top Foo Fighters pinball premium score on our PGM leaderboards as well (the image at the very top of this article).
As for the upcoming Pinball Expo and why Rexer’s vid would be helpful?
These shows run special leaderboards score chasing contests during the events that you can participate in. Sometimes you’ll win stuff for placing in the top 10 or higher. Sometimes there are participation prizes. So, the better you can be at one of these games, the better chance you’ll rank higher. At the very least you’ll earn a unique Insider Connected badge just for attending and playing one IC Stern pinball game.
There was some hope my son and I might head out to the 40th Pinball Expo this weekend, but alas, we will not be in attendance. We made it out to two different shows this year so far: Northwest Pinball & Arcade Show (all three days two years in a row, see: Attending Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show June 7-9, 2024? We are!) and the Portland Retrogaming Expo (only Saturday where I played The Uncanny X-Men (Stern 2024) Premium Detailed Thoughts after Flipping On Location).
We even made it into the Stern promo video — as backdrop — for The Uncanny X-Men. My son thought that was humorous and shared in the Discord.
You can clearly see our family playing The Uncanny X-Men at various points in this video including in the background of the opening behind Jack Danger. Also, my grandson when he drains through the middle showing drain disappointment.
Of course, Danger also was the lead game designer for Foo Fighters.
I’ll have to cover the Pinball Expo happenings from a couple thousand miles away but do wish any/all readers that are going to this event a very good time. We already have two new games showcasing from Stern, one is The Uncanny X-Men and the newest, Metallica: Remastered. No idea if the latter will be at the show, but my guess is yes, those in attendance will see a Metallica: Remastered, which explains why Stern pushed out the release for Wednesday 10/16.
For those going, be sure to … play games more!
