Just curious as I know that I spend more time every week on Pinside than playing pinball, even though my pins are about 25 steps away!!!

Well, I can't really play my machine at work, and not every weekend is a pinball excursion, although I wish it could be!
I do play my machine a LOT during the weekends, but is it more than I watch B_R's youtube vids? Yea, probably, but there's a lot more pinside, and really, those vids aren't even pinside..
If I'm watching a movie in my living room I'm on here, if I'm drinking, I may be on here, and at work, it's the only non work tab I have open, even if I don't have time to look at it.
I answered not sure, about the same.. after thinking about it.. I am probably lying on the poll.
Yes, only because I can read it on my iphone when I'm not at home with pinball available to play. When home I am usually working on or playing pinball though, but not always.
I am about half and half right now. Pinside is just too cool of a site! Almost as addicting as the pins themselves.
I did in the past but now I play much more pinball.
I play pinball almost everyday.
A year ago I could keep up with the posts on here. Now there are so many people I can't keep up anymore so I just check in once in a while to see if I can help anyone out. The good thing is people get help much quicker now.
I love restoring old/dead pinballs, so the answer is, YESS i defenentley use more time in here, pinside forum is the best plase to get pro-help
Thank you guys.
Perhaps, yes. Especially when you consider half the time I go into the game room, i end up tinkering on them instead of playing.
Quoted from docscott:Yes. Playing isn't always possible on a plane, waiting, etc. Pinside is always accessible.
"isn't always"? So sometimes it is possible? Now that's what I call first class!!!!!!lol. Pinair.....the only place you can play with your balls on a flight. Lmao! Sorry, I crack myself up.
Definitely spend more time on the forum. Reasons, 1. Difficult to bring a pin to work. 2. I constantly have the forum up on my laptop while watching TV, etc.
Quoted from Goonie:Perhaps, yes. Especially when you consider half the time I go into the game room, i end up tinkering on them instead of playing.
I do this also, my son leaves notes, bulb out flaky switch etc. and I have a game apart right now.
Dare I say it???
I HAVE TOO MANY DAMN PINBALLS!
Quoted from gweempose:Without question.
Same Here !!! BSD is Do-n a Doube flip Re-boot .. Got to get the PDB to Jack .. TZ is Just fine !!
If I spent as much time playing as I do on the website, I am sure I would be a world champion player by now!
Quoted from docscott:Yes. Playing isn't always possible on a plane, waiting, etc. Pinside is always accessible.
Exactly, and many of us post from/while working. Kind of hard to play a pin at work.
For me, it usually equates to 49% Pinside, 51% Pinball... Sometimes they switch places if there is an interesting thread or new machine on the horizon, but it's rare. Pinball should always take priority, it's why we're on here in the first place, right?!?
Pinside is very easy to access when I should be working My wife doesn't play, so its easy for me to sit next to her and surf pinside while "spending time" with her. If I'm in the basement "its like I'm not even home". Reading what I just wrote makes me feel like I have a crack habit. lol
Probably about even-up with Pinside versus playing games, but hands-down spend more time fixing games and dreaming up new ideas. I don't know why I just can't play them and leave it at that =/
