The Super Awesome Pinball Show Interviews Zombie Yeti

Our friends at The Super Awesome Pinball Show interviewed Zombie Yeti last week!! Here is just one highlight when he discusses including the Cowabunga It Is meme:

On the Meme:

Zombie Yeti: On the premium on this one…I’ve got the Cowabunga It Is meme on the side cabinet in a newspaper clipping.  And I never thought Nickelodeon would allow that through, and they did.  As a huge memer and with kids that are huge memers…I thought this is instantly viral marketing.

Zombie Yeti also talked about how he was approached to do TMNT, the challenges with this version of TMNT, why he thinks Stern chose the 1987 version of the Turtles, how he got into pinball, talked about his daughter Hailey and her help on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, talks about his time with John Popadiuk, talks about the challenges of being a free lance artist, talks about Pro/Premium/LE model, talks about the TWIPY stomp, and much more!

deeproot Pinball Update

Last week deeproot Pinball shared an update on their website:

After an image of designer Barry Oursler in a Halloween black face costume made the rounds last week, This Week in Pinball reached out to deeproot for comment. Robert Mueller, Principal of the deeproot Family of Companies, shared the following:

“We have been made aware of an old photo of a deeproot employee in a Halloween costume that could be considered offensive. deeproot is proud to employ a diverse and colorful team of employees from all backgrounds who enjoy a safe and non-discriminatory work environment. The recent discovery of this photo has not changed anything about that and we continue to work together towards redefining the next century of pinball.”
