Quoted from lpeters82:

I have a decent collection. Mostly entry level and party games because my friends aren't really as into complex or lengthily games. Some games to the sides of where those pictures display are: Cards Against Humanity, Codenames, Love Letters, Memoir 44, One Night Werewolf, etc.
We took a long break from Pandemic after finishing up Legacy, but my wife have recently started playing again with the On the Brink expansions. Our typical setup is with six epidemic cards, virulent strain, and mutation. We played a game last night, but had things under control the entire game. When you guys play do you choose roles? We do a random draw, but when the dispatcher is in the game, I almost feel we need to add in an extra epidemic card. That is my favorite role, but I find it too powerful.
Finally discussion point. I'd really like to start seeing board game licenses used for pinball. My top two would be King of Tokyo and Pandemic. Neither is my favorite game, but I think both would translate extremely well into pinball. Shadows Over Camelot could also be fun, but honestly I don't even need it based on the game. I'm just surprised that there hasn't been a pinball machine based on the Knights Of The Round Table. What board games do you guys think would make good pinball themes?

King of Tokyo would make an amazing pin! You could even choose your monster and get perks, like game of Thrones or Dr Who.

Quoted from ImNotNorm:

Fireball update via email. Basically says....
They have 16,000 units to ship in the US and 2000 have already been shipped out the door. Shipping will continue
Canada and Australia shipping begins next week.
They still believe the backers will receive their game by months. (I dunno about that one but remain hopeful)

My Fireball Island is arriving Friday! I actually think playing the original as a kid was the inception force that started my interest in pinball.
