Stern Star Wars. Your thoughts
- Thread starter huggers
- Start date
@Gonzo i enjoy the chinwag because it is different, there’s tonnes out there doing overhead streams some of whom are the best players in the world so it’s tough to compete with those guys head to head.
I enjoyed your Star Wars tutorial you showed enough of the playfield, the editing was a little chopping from left to right but for most if not all of us that’s not an issue we know the game and the layout Craig’s explanation was more than detailed enough.
The only time switching view points might confuse someone is someone unfamiliar with pinball/the game so a fixed perspective to jump in and out of might be handy for them but shouldn’t be an issue for anyone here.
Looking forward to Gonzo’s Pinball (top gear) Cool Wall.

I was a little bit unsure about the camera setup on the last Chinwag, don't feel it caught Stumblor's best angle

Mine too!
My SW pro was getting dusty off the back of GnR arrival but this video was awesome and taught me tricks I didn't know and 1st game back got on the scoreboard. Can't thank you lads enough for all your effort.
I personally prefer this style of filming, its better angles for me, and its important to note this isn't a live stream, we don't need to see the players face. We don't need to see what the live questions and comments are and spend ages listening to pointless banter. I don't want every second of the LCD visible as it gives away everything I'm planning on uncovering as I get further into the game myself.
The fact you go back over this to edit in clips and angles as required is top drawer @Gonzo, thanks to you and the others that get involved

Another great vid @Gonzo and @Juggler Spencer the start of the vid was hilarious… that stamp was no match for Spencer !
Bit late to the party here as I’m a little overrun with projects atm.
Anyways I have just got to say I love the Channel because of the fact Kris and spence approaches it as they do! There is no pretentious banter from either of them and it’s refreshing the angle they approach subjects as genuine laymen to the hobby who are on a continual learning curve which makes it all the more exciting IMO, hence I’m forever rooting for them.
I have been in this hobby now over 30 yrs and everyday is still a school day for me, especially at the rate pinballs move in and out of here
I admit I don’t watch all the videos mainly due to time restrictions but what I can say it is the only pinball channel I now watch as those boring top down ones just annoy the hell out me but that’s my preference I don’t watch tutorial videos end of as I prefer to discover my games as I go with my own personal play style, good or bad I don’t care as long as I’m having fun.
This kinda relates to my other part time job as a ski instructor in many ways. the majority of kids I teach range from 4-10 if I spent the hour on the technical stuff like weight distribution, angle of attack and posture they would soon get bored a bit like those over technical top down videos with rulesets Einstein would struggle to work out. However I do these very same things with Zombie Hands grasping for brains, Aeroplane arms as the fly down the hill and Shooting basketball hoops as they turn. Without realising it they are doing all the technical stuff but having FUN! This keeps them engrossed in the lesson and I find they don’t want to come off at the end.
The above is a typical Chinwag without knowing it! Your having fun watching often laughing along with it and often don’t want it to end. Same can’t be said of those technical videos you kinda skip though and rarely reach the end.
My two penneth for what its worth but WTF do I know
Keep up the good work guys you have gave our little enthusiastic UK community more global presence and its great to see your subscribers and views go from strength to strength. Love you guys @Gonzo @Juggler Spencer

Read this middle section out of context Col and people with think you've gone mad
I always assumed Col was mad anyway
Thanks mate, his knowledge knows no bounds. I think he could have written at least double that
