Well, the team at Barrels of Fun hasn't, and they decided to smash on ahead and impress pretty much everyone. It's been over 24 months since they launched their company and their first licensed game… and (as of this recording) they've manufactured all the games they said they would. Join us as we chat about the loving relationship between two pinball fellas, building a new company from nothing, Transformers, art, ramps, picking the bones of Deeproot Pinball, and Dave's unhealthy love for David Bowie in tight pants.
