I've been a video game fan all my life and have only recently started seriously getting into pinball.
I went to California Extreme 2011 in anticipation of playing arcade games like Street Fighter II and The Simpsons, but found myself walking past the video machines and right up to a bank of DMD pins. Five or six hours later I was hooked.
With the popularity of Xbox Live, and a return to competetive games with an emphasise on high scores and community, there's a HUGE opportunity for pinball to explode in popularity once again.
