And heavy.

Happy holidays, everybody! I hope each of you get to spend some good time with family but better time playing pinball!

I’m having chest pain watching the Saints today.

Go Texans!

That weekend is good with me Tiger. All these new pins coming out and im over here like

I had a very nice TZ with a clear coated PF. It’s a fun game at home. Still loving my Deadpool.

Anyone thinking about getting the Stranger Things pin? The Premium version is very tempting with the working projector screen!

I pulled the trigger and put Metallica on the market today. I was eyeballing Stranger Things, but I decided on BKSOR. I need a Steve Ritchie in the lineup.

Yes, I would love to buy Quicksilver!

Seriously though, there are so many good games available and coming out this year. Assuming they are fun to play I would love to own both Stranger things and Rick & Morty. I'm definitely interested in JP Premium as well.

I would also be pretty happy to find a nice SW Premium for a deal within driving distance.

Happy New Year Pinball friends!

Happy New Year to all out in Pinball Land!

Tiger and Pav got to 2020 before the rest of us! Happy New Year, everybody!

I upgraded my BBQ game for Christmas. Im looking forward to hosting my next event.

So are we! Noice!

The games we are planning to sell to gain space and money for Stranger Things and Rick & Morty are Target Alpha, Attack From Mars, and Sorcerer. We have worked out a temporary trade with the Moncla Family of Sorcerer for Firepower so we will sell Sorcerer after that trade is done.

We may sell one or two more out of X-Men, Iron Man, Star Trek and The Walking Dead but we can’t yet agree on which ones. TigerLaw doesn’t particularly want to sell X-Men or Star Trek, I don’t particularly want to sell Iron Man or The Walking Dead. We want to add Jurassic Park and know we will want Guns N Roses so we recognize we will have to part with two out of the four mentioned. If someone local is particularly interest in one of the four mentioned, let TigerLaw or Jodester know as that would likely impact which ones we would sell. We can remove the colorDMD to sell the games cheaper as we kept all the old dmd when we upgraded the displays.

Another option is to open a bar n grill with small gameroom in Lake Charles area.
4 to 6 pins, 1 pool table, 1 multicade, etc.
Chain them to the floor w/ lock bar across coin door.
That way you can circulate pins out of your home collection to the barcade as needed.

I’m a similar light, I’d like to have 3 classic solid states. I’m very happy with EBD. Gamatron was ‘85 but it fits the bill for me. I think one more in the line up would be good.
C-37 will stay as well.

My sellable options would be MM, Deadpool, STLE or Dialed In. No hurry to sell, unless to try something new. I would likely to replace like with like. Such as MM for 90 BW or remake or Dialed in for a Wonka. Maybe Black hole if the right game comes along.

Too much fun!
I mess seeing all of my Pinball friends. I’m looking forward to another gathering.

Hope Black Hole stays somewhere in Louisiana.

That game weighs a ton.

PoBoyPinball is now offering climate controlled storage in the Da Shed for all your classic games and or remakes. Daily rates, weekly, monthly or even a year.

There problem solved for my LA pinball friends.

Finally home long enough to order parts and fix my chimes on Stars. Added to the classic row Digging my first classic Stern in the lineup.

Hay y’all Brian F is planning to come up my way Sunday to play some pinball in Da Shed. I know this is short notice but if anyone else wants to come Sunday and play some old school games just let me know. Probably won’t start until afternoon say 2 or 2:30 ish.

Just send me a PM if you want to hang out Sunday and play some pinball y’all are welcome to.

That sounds great. I'm hosting family for the Saints game or I'd be interested.

I’ll probably head up after the game, unless it’s a blow out. So maybe 3:30-4:00 ish.

Hmmm....tempting.

If there's any other Monroe players here other than me and scottslash, you might want to steer clear of the Star Wars (Pro) at Tilt Studio till they figure out what's going on with the FORCE drop targets staying down. Tech fiddled around with it the other day and got it working again, but I stopped by yesterday and they still weren't resetting.

BDClark You there Sunday? I, and Tilt's main tech, Jacob, looked at it on Saturday noon-ish. He's been struggling with it for some time. The plug/jack/cable on one particular node board is being a flake. We did a bunch of wiggling, re-seating, etc, and it was working like a champ when I left on Saturday. Looks like we need to do some more stress testing....

Current IFPA Louisiana standings and player status for the upcoming IFPA LA State Pinball Championship on Sat Jan 18, 2020. 1st alt Wendell J is now likely to be in the field of 16. This is due to Brian B informing he has a schedule conflict and won't be able to enter/compete. Bummer for Brian. Good news for Wendell. That also puts Kelly M as the next alt to fill a spot in the field of 16 for LA should another top 16 player not be able to compete for various possible reasons. Per IFPA, the player status for the state championships will be locked in on Tue Jan 7th at 8 pm ct I believe. So not much time left for online changes.

Yep, stopped by late Sunday afternoon and played for a few hours before closing. I walked by, saw the majority of those targets stuck down and didn't bother trying it. Bummer!

I'm hopeful we'll have some more machines in the near future when Surge Entertainment Center opens in West Monroe sometime this year. One of the owners was open to the idea of installing pinball tables back when the initial announcement hit Facebook, so hopefully we'll get more info when they get closer to opening.

James, would you work on my project em for me? I can bring it your way sometime soon.

Yes sorry I haven’t been able to make it down your way to check it.

I’m also wanting to have another tourney this year maybe a few. I figured we could talk about that Saturday I thought Jodester was having one early this year but couldn’t remember when.

Sorry I won't be able to make it. I'm on the road in the morning to pick up a game down near San Antonio.

Spill it!

Tron

Tron as in Pinside Tron, KLOV TRon or Craigslist Hookup Tron?
