Oh yeah, when there's nothing better to do.

You don't think we waste much of our quality free time doing this, or watching some dude play pinball on a stream now do ya? Then we'd really need to get a life! lol.

You and all the other Malcontent Mollys will eat your words one day when live pinball is packing arenas! Besides, you probably just aren't tuning into the right shows. You don't think you'd be entertained by a streamed Struggle Buggies tourny?

Thanks Link. Maybe one day Odin will tune in and I can dazzle him when I go from Beef to Booth.

I'd really rather be playing in the final 4 but booth is a fun fallback when it doesn't happen.

How anybody who posts here regularly can ever pull the "get a life!" card has always been beyond me.

Either you are a nerd who posts here or you aren't, there's no middle ground. You aren't somehow cooler cause you just post here 5 times a day instead of 10!

Ok I think I covered everything.

If pinsider fireball2 buys it like he says he's going to, we may just get that. If he's got the time to hang out with Lou Ferrigno, perhaps a taped or streamed Struggle Buggies tourney is well within in his wheelhouse.

Not too often , but for short times. I do recall watching Lyman Sheets in1994 at the amoa show? Tearing up STTNG !

The ability to watch people play pinball across the country/globe is amazing. I love it.
Thanks for all the kind words, and all the hard work every-other streamer puts in to bring pinheads content!

The wife and I watched the finals over the weekend and it was fun to watch. Personally I enjoy watching EMs more as its easier to follow and understand the goals but PAPA did a great job this year on the broadcast.

Yes & No

Yes - New game just released, my only option to see and hear game play. I also enjoy watching other people having fun playing my games (not video)

No - Just watching a video of someone playing just to play isn’t something I particularly enjoy.

Watched a lot of Deadpool streaming latey. I likey

Going through Classics I at Buffalo. Some of my favorite games and I prefer to watch the older games, they're easier to follow:

^^^^agreed...watched a lot of Fathom games from that stream.

Bread twists!

Still hard to believe the latest streams are sponsored by Dominos and Ebay. Great signs for the future of competitive pinball!

I still watch a video or two. Takes me back to when I was young just by the sound of the machine or maybe that should be in the thread- You know your getting old....

Thread resurection!

I think pinball streaming has greatly increased in popularity recenty. I know I've been watching a lot, especially for TMNT and AIQ. Its crazy to think about it, but people are dropping thousands of dollars for a toy they haven't even seen in real life (I'm one of them), and a lot of that is thanks to streaming.

Jack Danger is doing a lot of the hobby

I love everyone who is helping push pinball streaming, but my favorite thing to watch are classics tournaments. I find it so much easier to track what is happening, and most importantly the decisions the players are making and moves. Ball times tend to be shorter, which makes really great runs stand out. Plus, older machines are less busy looking, so when you shrink them down to fit on a screen, they look nicer.

Happy to see Karl bringing back the tourney re-runs over the last several weeks to remind us what normal used to look like...hoping we are only a few months away from starting it up again.
