Interview with Legendary Pinball Designer George Gomez: Stern Spike 3, Deadpool, X-Men & More

[@007bondson1]

GOMEZ IS AWESOME. HIS TALENT, AMBITION, HIS LOVE FOR THE GAME, HIS WILLINGNESS TO LISTEN AND COMMUNICATE WITH THE COMMUNITY IS UNSURPASSED. GREAT INTERVIEW MY FRIEND.

[@Kwistenbiebel100-ns5ko]

I love Gomez. It is so nice to hear all the anecdotes on tables he worked on. He has this down to earth composure whilst also aiming for the stars. And likely his greatest quality at the moment to let other designers shine brightly under his guidance.

[@jlarsson1978]

Wow so cool to see GG on the channel! Thank you so much George for all the joy you've brought to us!

[@EnzoLPOz]

It was a pleasure and honour to chat to George. What a great interview! He’s so accommodating and open. Amazing! The true pinball wizard - Enzo

Gomez Rules

[@T88-fh9ci]

Outstanding!

[@KevinBriggs-d9u]

What a great interview! Amazing job setting that up. I could have listened for another hour. Such an interesting guy, and you could tell he appreciated your enthusiasm for his work and your love of pinball. Excellent job.

[@sjab5987]

George is such a legend. My pinball hero next to Lyman. Thank you for this interview.

[@ukxvc]

Absoute pinball gold! Thank you Gonzo and Enzo for everything you do. I appreciate you both

[@4uentertainment724]

Always awesome informations when Mr. Gomez gets interviewed. Well done guys! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Best regards from Austria. 🇦🇹

[@joshgrube84]

The way George talks about JT makes it very hard to believe Stern will ever remake GB. At least while George is in command. A man of integrity for sure.

[@Jesselovespinball]

At the end when George said these machines are connected to a person, that resonated with me . Pinside and other pinball chats and outlets are always very quick to bash these games . Personally I strive to not make assumptions. Flip the game , not just once either . Then formulate an opinion. Even if you don’t like it , doesn’t mean you have to bash it . Critical conversations should always lead or end on a positive note . People have feelings and we need to remember that guys ! Great stream Gonzo !

[@EnzoLPOz]

Great comment! Enzo

[@zxspectrum16k]

great show guys, think i need to listen to it again , so much info 🙂

[@joeydavis5568]

Killin it Gonzo!!!! The king himself on your channel, Your awesome George thank you for 007!

[@GonzosPinballFlipperama]

Thanks Joey, what a pleasure it was to speak to George

[@somehiebert]

Thank you Enzo and Gonzo. Thoroughly enjoyed the interview. A pinball celebration

[@EnzoLPOz]

Thank you - Enzo

[@marcobucci]

Thanks for doing the interview! Always great to hear from Gomez!

[@zak8953]

When are we gonna see some of your art on a pinball machine?!? lol

[@marcobucci]

@@zak8953 I've actually chatted with a pinball art director or two. Maybe one day!

[@zillelben8742]

What a feather in the cap of my YT Pin Buds in 3 different Time Zones. GG's behind the curtain insights are gold. Lol, hearing Aston Martin's criticism of the roof close line on the DB5 toy/mech in the Bond prototype. Of course GG is a car guy, his 1st pin, Bally's Corvette, kicked off my pin addiction/collection. He signed the apron card on mine, George (Jorge) Gomez. ❤ Great interview mates.

[@ToddHowardsChessClub]

Congratulations Gonzo for getting George on. Always great listening to him. He's a legend and I'm very thankful for him making my two fave machines (Bond and Deadpool). Keep doing what you're doing with the channel!

[@GonzosPinballFlipperama]

Our pleasure Mark. I really must spend some time on Bond and learn it.

[@ToddHowardsChessClub]

​@@GonzosPinballFlipperama you should, you'd enjoy it I think. I know Enzo loves the game. It feels like a classic Gomez but with the twist of that third flipper that he's only used once before.

[@zillelben8742]

He used 3 flippers in Bally's Corvette for the opening of the National Corvette Museum in 1994

[@tonymontano3042]

Excellent interview. Could listen to you guys talk all day about pinball.

[@mancavemoviemadness7464]

Gomez is the best! Owned Transformers and his Avengers. Still own a Deadpool premium, and it's never leaving. We have a friend who owns Monster Bash and love that game too!

[@nickclark7520]

A very cool interview 👏

[@247365p]

Gomez is the GOAT. Passionate of his company and teams with who ever he was working with or for. Talent and intelligence of making great Pinball!

[@ExpressoMechanicTV]

Great interview, with a great guy!

[@michaelpaulfx]

Amazing interview

[@willierants5880]

George is just a down to earth guy. Amazing how almost everyone in pinball is. We're all just fans who love pinball.

[@thedman1696]

What a NICE DUDE

[@GonzosPinballFlipperama]

Yes indeed, great guy

[@davidtucker4044]

Pinball royalty. About legend. That's George, not you I mean 😊 Great interview. I've met George, super nice guy.

[@WesleyHailes]

Badest dude in the game !! Best pin designer ever !!

[@Cl1m4x_]

What a Colab :D looking forward to listen to it🎉

[@GonzosPinballFlipperama]

Thanks Tim, hope you enjoy it mate. . . what a great guy George is

[@joebristowtechnologicalbre2073]

I can see an invite to sterns factory in your future, congrats on the progress of the channel.

[@GonzosPinballFlipperama]

Thanks Joe, that's very kind of you

[@H0otz]

Great video guys! I would love to see you chat with Elliot Eismin about Wick

[@Yetterben]

Legit kuddos for finally putting Trudeau to rest thank you George and that’s something from me as you know

[@Peter_T123]

Good interview 😊 Is Enzo a pinball guru in Australia?

[@EnzoLPOz]

I wouldn’t say a guru lol just love the game. Enzo

[@crashonehard]

Had they stated at the beginning of the X-Men stream that there was issues with several areas but they wanted to give everyone a sample of the game no one would have complained. Just lack of communication with the masses.

[@Jim_Owen]

Gomez! Please! Talking about all the IPs you have, we need a DOOM pinball machine with or before the next game release! There's never never been a better time, DOOM hype is peaking right now!

[@JamesGadbury]

That's a dream theme for me, but only if it was 1993 Doom 🤘

[@Jim_Owen]

@JamesGadbury classic DOOM is the Dream for me but I'd be stoked with any version (except like... Mighty DOOM)

[@colemangreen4191]

Stern with 90% of the market is crazy. Borderline problematic haha. Other studios need to step it up. Stern is just on fire though - IC, flipper feel, licenses/theme, reliability, fun factor.

[@Chronix74]

George here acting like they are giving the machines away for free.... you are selling a product ( for more and more ridiculously increased prices) and then complain when it doesn't meet the customer's expectations? maybe SLOW DOWN make a better product instead of crying about the consumer. but you insist on pumping them out on an artificial schedule BECAUSE this a business (remember stern sells the machines for profit) at this point ill take a jersy jack over stern anyday.

[@EnzoLPOz]

And jjp prices are better? Jjp don’t have an artificial schedule? Jjp haven’t released games with issues? JJP update code regularly? JJP doesn’t sell for profit?
