Shows will be archived on the Twitch channel for a few weeks, but I've been saving them to YouTube as well. Here's us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/buffalopinball

Thanks for watching! Down to Bret, me and Martha right now.

Videos are up on YouTube for those who missed it or want to re-live the experience

Part 1:

We're back tonight with another stream--this time on Grand Prix (Williams, 1976). Get a tutorial on how to play the game and watch my 7-year-old son defeat grown adults.

Yeah we'll have auto focus off. It kept changing focus during the tutorial part but was better during gameplay, so stick with it. We've also got a new rig that hopefully won't shake around like the other one did, and a third camera so we can get a better angle on the players. We plan to keep making the stream better all the time!

Here's the video from last night:

No autofocus on the playfield but there was some going on with the player cam. Not bad but it got better later on after we turned off the light behind us.

If anyone knows how to disable auto focus on multiple Logitech webcams on a Mac, let me know.

Ha! Not sure how that happened. I'll re-export from YouTube. In the meantime, here's the full thing on Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/buffalopinball/b/617856656

Updated the embedded video above--now you can see the victor of the final game!

We're back tonight with the 1992 Gottlieb classic, Operation Thunder. We'll be dropping freedom bombs all over the place--tune in!

Here's last night's broadcast. Our special guest was Mark Carvey of The Sanctum, who stopped by to take on the "Bro, do you even pinball?" crew. Nick gives an overview of the rules on Op Thunder, talks to Mark for a bit about The Sanctum and the pinball scene in his area and then we battle!

Tonight's game will be Iron Man and our guest will be Jordan, one of our local players who just took fourth place at the IFPA NY State Championships in NYC this past weekend. We'll have another round of chat room trivia and other shenanigans. See you tonight!

Jordan came to the stream, but didn't quite conquer. He did beat me, though, because I continued the streak of terrible play I started at the State Championship Series over the weekend.

We had some technical issues with our Internet connection but I pieced the clips back together for the YouTube archive. It was a fun episode with some new winners in the head-to-head battles and Jay sitting in for Rob.

Check it out:

We're back tonight at 8 Eastern--we'll be playing Harlem Globetrotters with guest Bruce Nightingale. See you in the chat! http://www.twitch.tv/buffalopinball

The archive of last night's stream is up. Fun games on Harlem Globetrotters and check out our new shirt/hoodie design!

Tonight it's Metallica and our guest is fellow Buffalo Pinball League member Jeff Wirth. Come and tell him what game he should get for his first pin (and inevitable second. and third. and...)

James Hetfield approves!

Jeff stops by to battle the crew on Metalllica, Crank it Up mode is achieved (eventually) and general shenanigans.

Never skip WPPR day.

Get out your racing gloves, we're playing High Speed 2: The Getaway tonight!

As always: 8 p.m. Eastern at http://www.twitch.tv/buffalopinball

Hope to see you in the chat!

Bring it on! We'll try to hit all of this. If we forget, holler at us

Buffalo Pinball league member Phil was this week's guest. Watch him get down and dirty with Rob during some split flipper action.

It's the final Count-Down! Tonight the crew battles on Gottlieb's 1979 game that unfortunately does not feature the Europe classic during gameplay. BYOE

Brian brought his epic 'stache to the 'cast last night:
