It was $20 entry plus $10 to compete on Sunday nights when that was going on. So maybe that.
New pin tonight!

Finally made it out to Antisocial this past Wednesday. Had a lot of fun, great place to explore and play alot of machines that I have never played. Great line up of pins as well. I'll be back in the future. Looking forward to my next visit. 
I finally got out to Antisocial, I don't know why I waited so long but boy was that a mistake. What a collection. What really sets this place apart is the number of premium/LE machines and the condition. Other than a few sticky flipper buttons the machines are pretty well cared for, especially some of the older ones.
My only wish would be that the machines have headphone jacks. I would love for the Sterns to have them, especially the music pins.
Also I know that Maximum Tune doesn't have cards but if I bring my own does anyone know if the card reader/writer actually works or is it going to eat my card?

Yes, some of the flipper are starting to stick on a few machines. We hope to have those fixed in the next week or so. I have been trying to delay buying a lot of replacement parts due to the tariff fiasco.
Both Maximum Tune card readers work.
I wasn't sure if people would use the headphone jacks on machines if I installed them. A couple of the Jersey Jack's have them, but I have never seen anyone use them. That being said, I would use them if I was a customer.
Maybe it's because I come from the rhythm game community. Modern rhythm games all come with headphone jacks because of how important hearing the sound is. Of course it's less important for a pinball game but I find it pretty important on modern pins for understanding what your goals are. And of course music pins always benefit from being able to hear the music.Yes, some of the flipper are starting to stick on a few machines. We hope to have those fixed in the next week or so.

I didn't notice that some of the JJ machines had them. I'll keep an eye out for that next time I am there
Going there in October during what is Chicago Pinball expo. Couldn't justify going this year due to everything that is going on,but still wanted to scratch that Pinball playing itch... 2 full days at Anti Social! Yes please. Pinball, pizza and beer(sssss).
My wife and I LOVE playing pinball with headphones. It makes it all soooo immersive..
Ok so I don’t have 100’s of games but you can come over and we can order pizza and drink beer and play pinball.
Is there any official channel to report maintenance items that need addressing? I did mention one thing to the person working the desk but he seemed more like a front desk guy and not super familiar with the machines so I didn't think he took down any specifics.
I know getting parts right now is an issue but there were some machines down last night that I thought just needed adjustments like Zeppelin, Stranger Things, Avengers, Indiana Jones and Alice Cooper.
Also a drop target broke on halloween and it was getting knocked around the playfield. Definitely want to get that before it does any damage.
Still had a blast though. I am absolutely loving Dungeons and Dragons and I can't wait until the code is more complete. I also found out that Venom and Star Wars are my kind of machines. Those repeatable shots in Venom that you can hit over and over are so satisfying.

We keep a log of known issues that need fixing.
We don't really make "adjustments" or "tweak" the machines like some people like to at home, it's hard enough to just keep them functional.
Understood. The adjustments I were referring to are ones that made the games unplayable but were all things I thought looked solvable without parts.
Here are the specific things I can remember.
Zeppelin - the piece that comes up from the center of the playfield is not sitting flush with the playfield so it launches airballs
Stranger Things - center drop targets were stuck in the down position
Avengers - upper flipper is sticking in the up position. The ball knocks it free so it probably just needs cleaning and a new sleeve.
Alice Cooper - ball eject was unable to serve the ball into the plunger lane
Yes, all these things need fixing. I know about all of them except the Stranger Things drop targets issue is new.
Our tech is coming in tomorrow, so hopefully we will get all this fixed (and a ton more).
Going forward, just tell us at the bar and we will add it to the log.

We will be open this weekend.
(Please check our website for our updated hours.)
Will you have the Blue Jays game on tonight? TVs in the front area that show the Stern leader boards... can those show baseball instead?
Why would you need a license to show it? It's on TV. Just like every other bar has the game on. Just don't know if he has cable, that's why I was asking.
