    Minimalist: the pin .... Prob not a lot of modes and such.

    #53 10 years ago

    Jimmy Savile pinball.

    End of argument.

    Quoted from CaptainNeo:

    Pretty much anything MTV airs would be a horrible theme.

    Except Ridiculousness. Its the only show I ever watch on MTV but its probably the funniest show on tv.

    The Kardashians. The Bruce Jenner mode would be totally wimpy and not involve any balls at all.

    Driving in circles in the Walmart parking lot making only left-hand turns. Oh, NASCAR has been done? Never mind.

    Rush: drum solo that adds nothing to the song mode, where you score points for hitting absolutely anything. Hit the start button? POINTS. Nudge the cabinet? POINTS. It's all part of the mode! A combination video/audio mode where you have to identify whether it's Geddy Lee or a cat in heat. A second video mode would consist of an image appearing on the screen, and a counter rolling down points. The image would start of blurry, and gradually become clearer. As quickly as possible, you'd have to identify if it was a picture of Geddy Lee or Yoko Ono. The sooner you identify it, the more points you get. And a wizard mode where Geddy's head rises out of the playfield. This would be a two ball affair, one representing each of your fists. The goal would be to "punch" Geddy in the throat until he could never sing again. The Limited Edition model would feature a contest allowing one lucky winner the chance to actually punch Geddy Lee in the throat until he could never sing again. It would sell out faster than any previous LE, mainly because I'd sell my house and use the profits to buy every single one just to win the contest. Then I'd tear the cabinets apart and use the plywood create a shanty to live in, putting them to actual good use.

    A highly successful mod would be the Pinball Pro speaker kit, which would allow you to replace all speakers with blocks of wood.

    #66 10 years ago

    The "Government" you put your money in. An arm comes out, pinches your wallet and your trapped paying the machine for the rest of your life. Oh and the scoring just keeps going in the negative.

    Quoted from PEN:

    Obama and the Tea Party Monsters

    Now that might truly be a very interesting pin!!

    #89 10 years ago

    LOVING this thread. Okay, I've got a few:

    Angela Lansbury
    Wood Carving Guild
    Hipster Hierarchy: The Battle for Irony
    Convalescent Home
    Adjunct Shuffle: Adventures in Part-Time Professorship (Each mode constitutes a different semester in which you complete the repetitive task of convincing the upper-administration that you are worthy of their paltry wages. This task must be completed concurrently while jockeying for classes to teach the following semester. Wizard mode happens after you complete 10 consecutive semesters of unsecured teaching and are rewarded with no additional health benefits or job security, but a fractional-percentage bonus [Bonus 1.05x] for your "valued" service.)

    Finally, just felt the need to highlight a couple of faves:

    Quoted from mmetzger:

    - 5th grade standardized test adventures

    30FathomDave is far-and-away my vote for this thread's winner. I was reading these as I was lulling my 5-month-old boy to sleep and I very nearly lost it.

    Quoted from 30FathomDave:

    - Dreaming that you're taking a piss while you're really just pissing the bed: the pinball machine

    - Accidentally farting in a job interview, and then the interviewer tells you that her father was killed by poisonous gas: the pinball machine

    - She's got daddy issues: the pinball machine

    Thanks for ALMOST waking my kid, Dave.

    Keep 'em comin', guys!
