daily bump for pinball goodness. I hope everyone picked for the show is a pinsider. fwiw, the pinsider I would like to see on the show. pinball molly, the queenpin.
Quoted from TheLaw:Oh crap forgot to put my email address
I did that also, I caught it before I sent my vid in and re shot it. I think my 1st one was better.
I could be wrong but im getting the feeling that this will mostly be tournament play. and the yups buy wine, art and houses. pinball is way to blue collar for them.
dudes! this is our chance to show the whole world how awesome modern pinball is. get those vids in. what's the worst that could happen? if Josh Sharpe has his name on this you can bet it will not degrade pinball or the players/collectors.
come on pinheads,get your videos in. if you really love pinball then you must submit a id. you can always tell them no later.
I erased my video off my phone. Since someone brought up the topic.
Josh, has any video stood out? Have you received any feedback on the submissions yet?
come on pinheads. its Friday night. lets get the count to 100 submissions this weekend. all I did was stand next to my whirlwind and ramble for 3 minutes. you can do this.
Quoted from DutchTommy:im wondering about this.. am i also eligible to submit an video to them as im not from the states?
if so i will make an nice submission this weekend
Roy Wils
dude, you are a pinhead. get your video in.
Quoted from PinballKen:That's all I did.
+1 that's what I did too.
come on pinheads, get those vids turned in.
what! only 2 more? pinheads, lets get those vids in.
which would you rather watch on tv. dancing with the has beens or pinball?
Quoted from policano:I'm going to do my part and submit a video clip this week as well. Just gonna talk about the conflicts in my house with pinball. I have 2 roommates that hate pinball and hate that I have them all over the place and play late at night.
now that is a reality show. are they hot chicks? if they are guys then tell them they need to turn in their man cards for not loving pinball.
I was at work today. I was at a state building on a service call. at this building it is required all outside contractors have an escort. well, my escort was making small talk, the usual stuff. how was your weekend etc. he asked me what I did this past week end. I replied, the usual stuff. played with my kids, washed the wifes car and my truck,mowed the lawn, oh, I replaced a part in my pinball machine that had broken. he perked up right away, you own pinball machines? he asked. I said yes. he was very excited and started talking about all the local places he used to play that are no longer around. he mentioned pin a go go. he had wanted to go but his friend flaked. I gave him a quick list of places to play near us and pin a go go web site. the rest of the time I was working we talked pinball. my point to this story is this. there are many people out there around the world that remember pinball but just don't know about the resurgence. where to find good games to play. etc. if I get what ifpa are trying to do is get pinball back in the public eye.
get it in the forfront of the minds of people who remember pinball and the simple joy of playing a game on location with a friend or two. that's why I shared this story. pinheads, we are being given the rare opportunity to show the whole world how awesome pinball is. I know a lot of you are hesitant to submit a video because you don't want this to turn into honey boo boo or jersey shore. again, this is an opportunity to share pinball with the whole world. just be yourself. no one can ever take that away from you.
Quoted from genex:Dude, well stated! I am not sure I wanna be on TV necessarily but if this can help pinball I'm all for that! I didn't know anything until 2012 when I randomly came across it and am hooked now!
thats what im talking about. you were lucky to stumble onto it. if we get more people into it. they will make more games and put them in more locations. its a win, win.
come on pinheads. there are thousands of us here on pinside, rgp, etc. we cant get more than 51 submissions? just get your phone, stand in front of a game and tell a bit about yourself. its that easy. do your part for pinball.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:if this weekend is the cutoff, I won't be doing it. No way I can do it this weekend.
it takes as much time to post here on pinside as it does to make a 3 minute video and up load it.
just saying.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:Yea, well I can't make a video right now, i'm sick as hell.
fair enough, feel better.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:Wow, even with my cold I managed to cut a 3 min video. Cut it short before my voice dried out and went into a coughing fit. I think this was the only way I could shut up enough to make it less than 25 min.
Bravo Zulu sir.
so............................................................. im guessing this is not going anywhere? is there still hope?

Didn't sound like a "reality" type show though.
any tv exposure could be good for pinball. at least there might be something good to watch between walking dead seasons.
Quoted from ifpapinball:Can't believe it's been a year and this thing still isn't dead yet.
Latest update is they have an outline for a show that they will be pitching to networks over the next few months.
The bad news is that it looks like only 13 people will be selected to participate. The good news is that the $100k top prize is something they have included in the details of the competition that will be pitched.
It looks like the submission page is actually still up on their site, so anyone interested in a 1 in 13 chance at 100k ... Sign up while you can. If they find a network their next step is casting.
I'll update more as I get more news.
Josh
So if we arlready submitted a tape do we need to sign up?
Wow! This is exciting. I had figured this was dead. It's good to hear its still alive.
If nothing else, there will be something on tv I will want to watch.
