    Pinball Dedicated Podcasts

    The Pinball Podcast guys claim they were phoning this one in...not giving it their all. I couldn't tell the difference! Special appearance by Gene X Hwang...is there any podcast this guy isn't on? Spreading himself a little thin if you ask me. They also announce the results of their...

    Making of Star Trek Pinball from Stern Pinball

    Love this. Also acceptable would be "Sears build quality". All kidding aside, I was able to play ST at the Done Right Inn (downtown, Queen St. West) a few weeks back. Granted I was unbelievably bombed, but was still impressed with how far Stern has come as compared to, say, Iron Man. I'd say...

    Spiroagnew's basement thread

    Framing is complete at the end of day four. The hallway that leads to the main space is tighter than I expected, but still more than the minimum 32 inches one would need to freely move furniture...and you know...pinball machines. No pool tables going into the main space anytime soon, so it...

    Spiroagnew's basement thread

    Had a good laugh at this one. Funny of you to take this route...I believe the contractor thought I was trying to get around code by calling this area a "closet". All bedrooms, by code, must have a window for an emergency exit...he thought I was trying to sneak a bedroom in under the wire...

    Spiroagnew's basement thread

    I've also decided to use a commercial grade low-pile durable carpeting with no under-pad glued to the subfloor. Lots of factors but it was decided out of economics more than anything...a buddy of mine is a carpet rep for all of Southern Ontario with a national manufacturer, so a deal could be...

    Spiroagnew's basement thread

    Dateline: Monday January 20th. The day the renovation of the basement begins. Can't take any credit for the progress being made down there...I got a great local firm to come in and get it done. I have little time and skill for such things, and besides, I'd rather get it completed in a month...

    To Sell or Not To Sell ACDC Premium

    Answer: The team will be able to sign better free agents...nobody wants to play at the filthy dump that is the Nassau Mausoleum. The barn does still rock when there is a full house...I've been to some pretty loud games, I go down a couple times a year. I need to find a (virtually unattainable)...

    To Sell or Not To Sell ACDC Premium

    I sympathize. Sounds like the pool table is the centrepiece to a Leafs themed room. My basement is destined to be a NY Islanders themed gameroom. Must strike a balance between the memorabilia I have collected for my favourite team and the pins. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    To Sell or Not To Sell ACDC Premium

    Not sure your willpower, but if it were me, I could guarantee if I made the decision to sell it now, some sweet deal would come along and I'd be tempted to fill the spot before the Hobbit arrived. I say keep it and play it. Play it so much that you get your fill. Or have you had your fill in...

    Welcome. I've recently been drooling over pictures of those old 70s and 80s Bally games. Would love to see some pics of the collection! Beautiful pieces of machinery these games. They did a great job of licensing with Evel, Six Million Dollar Man, the Harlem Globetrotters, just to name a...

    JJP "Epic" Annoucnement

    The Lawlor hysteria has fueled guesses from the somewhat possible (three talking heads on an original theme) to the downright idiotic (TAF revisited). I guess this is what JJP wanted by announcing an announcement, but I agree with Frolic that it may come back to bite them when the actual...

    JJP "Epic" Annoucnement

    Does anyone here care? Pinside is abuzz about the announcement from JJP that an announcement will be made. References to "threes" and "epic". Reading high expectations of some on the Pinside thread, it seems that anything short of Pat Lawlor returning to pinball and teaming up with Paul...

    America's Most Haunted Promo Video

    Better art package. Looks good. Interesting to note that the female psychic (in purple) was originally a weathered, old witchy-type dressed in baggy clothing. The Pinside horndogs voiced their displeasure, and they re-drew the character as the busty redhead you see above. Probably the same...

    VFW Video (Update: game list added)

    Re: VFW Video If we banded together a couple of Kickstarter backers (with those that didn't originally pledge offering $20 to Clay as a "late donation"), we could probably caravan a group of GTA guys on an agreed date to have a look at the facility and play some pinball. A day trip would be...

    EM Pinball Machine - What is your favourite?

    EM Pinball Machine - What is your favourite?

    I had a big drink of the Koolaid...I'll say its Volley for me, too. Had a love for El Dorado for years, but after getting introduced to Volley at Scott's and then having a longer go on Drano's the last few times I've visited, I concluded that, for me, this is the king of EMs. Simple, lots of...
