good gawd. i've never watched a harlem shake video before.... I'm like "wtf is this?"

I like this final line: Gary ended up doing a decent job all these years. Might not be the risk taker some people might like, but he managed to keep the 1 factory going and kept the fire stoked for this pinball renaissance so many years later. I was checking out the trailer for the movie...

the social side of pinball has been a huge plus for me. I was telling Robin, after our Monday night, we had 12 "new" people in our home... these are new people we're getting to know better. All were great. Plus most of them were getting to know the others better as well, or just met for the...

I'm the primary bread winner but I consider all the money "our" money so I wouldn't feel good about making huge purchases without telling my wife and acting as a cohesive unit. Luckily she is a pin-enabler of the nth degree. Everytime I've waffled on a purchase it's "oh, just get it!". I have...

I checked out the circuit live broadcast, and right away I saw Adam, it was kind of funny "Hey! I know that guy!!!" I thought the live broadcasts were done excellent. As well produced as you could hope for at this stage of the game. There was generally 300 viewers on the ustream at any time...

on Monday night I had a "ToPL Fun Night" at my place. Topl was cancelled this week because of pinburgh so I tested my new basement out with 12 people. Worked well. I will not be big enough to host a regular topl night at my current place but I'll do more special events like this. Because of the...

a lightgun to pull out and shoot during pinball is wild. maybe someone can take it into a more widely produced game some time.

there's some tremendous home collections I've been able to see recently, but what made the church unique was he would open to the public. That really makes a difference with attracting newbies. topl is open, but it takes a few leaps of effort from someone to come out, and you'd most likely...

based on jpop's writing on his blog, I don't think gomez asked for permission ;-).

I'm literally here today because of the church. going there got me back into pinball. It is definitely a loss. Obviously having a warehouse like that costs big money, it was never any kind of real business, none of us are volunteering to take on something like that, so it's understandable for...

that's what patents are for. If it's not under patent, or expired, then it is public domain, no matter what "the code" of designers is. Seems like the pinball world has changed, there might have been a time (the 90s) when "the code" was followed, with themes, or toys, or whatever, but jpop is...

the church is now closed unfortunately. Mike is in the process of selling most of his stuff. He'll keep some working pins at his home, but the church will be gone.

got a good score on ac/dc.... 288 million... after a couple of weeks I'm finally getting it.

kind of weird that "arcades" have become "museums". i feel old.

Re: TSPP upper flipper control (very cool mod) i think this is neat, but, for a home use game i can't see those flippers getting worn out.

I almost bought a LW3 as my first pin for a modest $1400... but it didn't happen and the next week I had bought a Tron NIB..... :lol: I think if you raise your budget to "under $2000" you will get plenty of options. One thing though... understand, NONE of us here stopped with 1 pin. so if...

The Pro looks like a real good value on this one.

when does western union come into this? ;).

yeah i'd hold out for a 2.1, it really is nice.

I think a lot of people were hoping this game would be kind of lame, so everyone could focus on star trek, but seems like a lot of custom stuff in it. and if lyman is coding it, you can't dismiss it at all. I definitely will not own 2 music pins, so I don't see getting it. this can be great...
