    Cineplex set to expand their in-theatre arcades

    Now THAT is an interesting idea... especially if they install the redemption kits on the pins. I wonder how complex it'd be to have redemption games feed directly into their cineplex loyalty points system? That way you eliminate tickets, and let people win points that they already have a...

    Introduce Yourself!

    Welcome! If you're interested in making the drive, there's a couple of Canadian leagues reasonably close in London, KW and Toronto (depending on how much of a trek you want to make). The toronto league playoff tournament is in a couple weeks (May 25) in an amazing location if you're interested.

    MMR setup at Texas Pinball Festival (gameplay video too)

    That's interesting-I hadn't realized that Stern did contract manufacturing on the side, but it makes a lot of sense if there's going to be downtime in the factory. I think this is a unique situation though-there was an existing relationship there, and there's a large quantity of games being made.

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    Wow, at $350 that's definitely getting into mainstream territory.

    Custom Tron Pinblades

    I like those-where did you get them? As mods go, I'm liking these custom side art panels. The ones I got for TSPP add a whole lot of depth to the look of the game.

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    Nice! Which one did you end up getting? Anytime I've seen 3d printers in action, the first thought has always been how to print new pinball parts. Nothing is big enough to print a ramp (yet), but the plastic that comes out of these things seems surprisingly strong.

    PBRev I need your support!

    Enjoy-that 75k is a fun ride, and it 's a great cause! I've missed out on the last couple of years since our second kid was born, but the last year I did the ride was the full 75. Hopefully it doesn't rain this year- I remember seeing the remains of a few wipeouts coming down the hill from...

    Clean plastic is such a nice reward...

    Nice job-just novus and elbow grease?

    What's with George and Chris from Kingston?

    Because there are lots of people out there looking for their first machine. Small community of collectors, sure, but there's that whole other group of people that buys one machine and stops there, or are just getting into this and don't know any better. We've all probably overpaid for...

    SOLD Container Pinballs *list received*

    Probably takes too much time. If they can find people to buy games "as is" then there's no incentive for them to document things better on the far end.

    New Pinburgh and PAPA dates for 2015

    If they're looking at another location, I can only imagine the logistics for moving everything from a permanent facility to a new spot. Still, there has to be some way to get the player cap up from this year when they had to turn people away. Maybe next year is the year I can finally make it...

    Writing about pinball at creditdotpinball.com

    Keep up the good work-I never knew much about Fire before I read your writeup on it.

    Learned Something About Switches Today

    Good find-sounds like the difference between a Normally Open and Normally Closed switch. Just so happens that different microswitches are set up differently I suppose :)

    Twilight Zone-3800-Toronto: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-art-collectibles ... /589757313 Sounds too good to be true these days. Still, if it's legit, good deal!

    Pinballcards.com / Custom Instruction Cards

    Those are really nicely done. That reminds me-I still need to print something for LOTR-it's the one game I don't have a custom set on (I usually do custom instruction, free play, and coin slot insert pictures).

    bubble hockey vs air hockey

    Only concern with air hockey would be the pucks going airborne and flying into something else-at least with a Chexx everything is contained. You could also play 4 people on a chexx a little easier than an air hockey table. Still, that being said, I think air hockey is more fun.

    Disney ruins your (Star Wars) Childhood!

    Meh, doesn't mean anything. No worse than Marvel or DC hitting the reset button (which they've done multiple times), or just downright contradicting continuity without an explanation (which they've done MANY times). I'm just hoping that they manage to pull off something good with the universe...

    T3 - Etobicoke - $4000 http://www.kijiji.ca/v-toys-games/city- ... /585565803 Tempting-what's the value of a T3 these days? I haven't seen one sell in a while.

    WPC test report "Error" pics please!

    I'll keep an eye out for any of those and try to grab a picture for you if anything comes up. If the kids are playing CV a bunch, the machine will probably get one of the "you suck" credit dots because the orbit switch hasn't been triggered (because if my 2 year old hits the ball once with the...
