Quoted from TigerLaw:August 13th, plan to come to LC.
I will still be out of town. 
Looking forward to the next one!
Quoted from Nevus:Have to miss that one
Because I'm going to pick up my BBB that weekend
If I can coordinate with Jody, I'll come in early July for a game swap.
You finally got one!!?? Well, congratulations. I'm thinking of changing GB Premium to TWD Premium when I get back.

Quoted from TigerLaw:I have four of the games you're considering. XM is my favorite of the four. My suggestion:
Grab an XM while you can find a good one. Then sell Kiss, grab a Metallica. Last year of a production for the title.
I owned Met. Great game, but I was ready to move on. I'm not ready to part with Kiss. For some reason, I absolutely love it.
XM would require a lot of work to change the callouts, but it's a fun game.
Quoted from Nevus:No way. This PF stuff has got to be addressed. Games are flooding the market and I have a lot of old games still on my list. I think my next new game will be an Alien Kit. Other than that, I'm passing on new Sterns for a while. I'm really enjoying my current line up.
I'm going to be the annoying houseguest that plays your games, talks about my youth, drinks too much, overstays my welcome, and passes out underneath BBB.
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:Hey! It's Uncle Mudflaps!
We look fwd to hanging out and playing pinball with Uncle Mudflaps.
Not as much as I look forward to:
1. Drinking beer
2. Driving my own car
3. Eating a cheeseburger
4. And... other stuff
Looking forward to hanging out with you guys!
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:Mudflaps are you stationed in Korea? I did lots of drinking when I was there in 1988 no Driving ate at Mr Lee's make shift burger joint nothing like a hamburger at 2 am with an egg on it when you come out of the club's.
I wish I was in Korea! I'd be swilling Soju like it was my job. I was there a few years ago and ate McDonald's the whole time. I'm not an adventurous fellow.
The Pyongyang location is a joke. I'm not really in North Korea.

Quoted from NPO:So I know the title said "TX/LA", however, I figured I'd at least reach out and say I'm soon going to be a potential member (if you'll let me) of this club as I am PCSing from Wright-Patterson AFB (Ohio) to Eglin AFB (Niceville/Crestview area of the Florida Panhandle)!
I am looking forward to meeting a lot of new people (and driving quite a bit to any kind of big meet ups!!). I checked the Pinside map; it seems there are a couple of Pinsiders near the base and in the Mobile/Pensacola area. I am a native of Pensacola, so this is nearly like "coming home" for me.
Anyways, my collection is modest (LW3 is coming next week), but I hope to be able to offer some games of pinball to fellow Pinsiders, make new friends, and learn some things from everyone!
See the Gulf Coast late February 2017!
I just PCS'ed to Barksdale in NW LA, so I just kind of hang out here hoping I'll be accepted.
Quoted from NPO:Holy shiznaz!!! That is awesome - to know we went from ND and OH to LA and FL just like that. I'll definitely look forward to meeting you down the road! When did you get back from your overseas deployment??
About a month ago. I'm taking 2 months of leave to 're-adjust,' i.e. sit on the couch and get fat.
Quoted from NPO:Well welcome home, man. Thank you for your extended service overseas. I plan to do it down the road as well - might PM you to get some tips and details on what to expect in the future.
It was my sixth and hopefully last deployment. Anyway, feel free to pm any time.
Back on topic, pinballz!!

Quoted from Nevus:Happy new year!
Here is my New Years (Pinball) resolution.
I would like to have a club calendar full of local and regional events to look forward to this year. Please copy and paste the schedule as you add to it.
In 2016, I had a party in April and a Red River Replay in September. I'm ready to do, at least, that again this year. Dates are flexible for me. Mudflaps has 5 seriously beautiful games and he's just a few miles down the road from me now! Let's invite ourselves to his house.
Lastly, some of us treaveled to other shows in 2016. The Moncla's went on a US tour. Henry and I went to Rocky Mountain. Let's do more of that. I would love to road trip to Atlanta this year and try the Southern Fried with some of our group.

Quoted from Nevus:I'm looking forward to seeing you all this weekend. I'm planning on an early start.
How early? 
Quoted from Nevus:Goodbye LOTR, Hello GB.
I'm available to troubleshoot any issues you may have. The game will need to be dropped off at my house, and my turnaround time is usually 3-4 weeks.
Quoted from PavBall:Thank you for coming by today Nevus and mudflaps.
And thanks to Nevus for holding me very nicely.

Quoted from Pinball-is-great:When at TPF, turn it up to 11.
That game made me laugh out loud. Such attention to detail with the movie.
Quoted from Nevus:Mudflaps is a few blocks away and says we are welcome there also!
Yeah! We can go to my house and check out my porcelain clown doll collection.
Quoted from Nevus:Nip-It joins the club!
Did you ever give the guys his $60?
Quoted from Nevus:AMH out on loan.
Kiss comes to visit!
Thanks to Mudflaps.
That's my ear!
Quoted from TigerLaw:Kiss will be awesome at the May tourney. I think we could do back to back tourneys. Sat at Nevis; Sun and Mudflaps.
My collection is small and embarrassing next to Nevus. However, one of my games will feature a small bucket of plastic chicken.

Quoted from Arcade:Aerosmith is awesome.
We have already live streamed it on our Twitch chanel the past two Sunday nights.
It is Sterns best code out of the gate in years.
I was absolutely torn between Aerosmith and RZ. Both really fun yet totally different.
I went with RZ because I already have 2 Stern music games and wanted to give Spooky a shot. Aerosmith is still high on my wishlist though.

Quoted from TigerLaw:Is Mudflaps coming to the June 18th LC tourney? Would be great if so, I don't think he's made one of our events before.
I should be able to make it. Maybe Nevus and I could road trip.
Quoted from Jodester:I can pull out a globe with pins. If I can do a swap with Mudflaps for Kiss, it will be another pin in the globe.
When Nevus is done shooting balls down Gene Simmons' throat, I'd be happy to make another trade.
Quoted from Zukboy2002:It's yours sir
F-14 was my first game. Lots of nostalgia there. Congrats on the quick sale!
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:I think saying why not to various what not is what messed up Mudflaps at TPF.
Labnip spiked the punch!

Quoted from Pinball-is-great:Sounds good. Let us know if you see any interesting critters or nice scenic spots (and/or any 2 legged deer). Take a few pics.
Just curious which place(s) you are gonna hang out at? In N LA, or Ark, or elsewhere?
We planned on Crater of Diamonds in AR, but they were booked. We're going to DeGray Lake instead in AR.
Quoted from Nevus:Beautiful weather here at the beach.
Quoted from TigerLaw:PavBall and I are off to Greece.
I'm at Target!
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:I double dare you to use the ladies restroom at Target Mudflaps.
I always use the Family restroom. It's cleaner and I don't have to flush.
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:Mudflaps,
If someone were to happen to be in a situation where an SR-71 Blackbird is coming right at them at, oh say, Mach 2 speed,
that is bad, correct?
.
If you're Superman, then you shouldn't have any problems.
Quoted from Nevus:Ready for this weekend! Room is booked and Henry will be replacing Mudflaps as my traveling companion.
See you all in Houma.
Can I bring anything to contribute?
I'm pretty sure Red River Replay will be Sept 16, but Mike and I will finalize this weekend.
Glad you are able to make it. Apologies again for flaking, but my kitchen pass is printed in gold for the next one.
Quoted from Nevus:2017 Red River Reply is set for Sept 16. Plan on one main tournament and one side tournament.
As before, I'll smoke a briskit or something yummy and have some snacks. Bring anything else particular you may like to drink or eat. Mike V will register the with the IFPA soon and get the details nailed down.
I look forward to seeing those that can join us.
I'm happy to bring a few of my games if you have room!

Quoted from TigerLaw:Whats been going on in the pinball world this weekend gang?
Nevus was a trooper and helped me move two games out of the gameroom, then another one back up the stairs. VirtuaPin goes on the market soon!
Also, an award winning pinball professional said I had the best AC/DC in the world worth at least $150,000.
Quoted from TigerLaw:I see you traded your RFM. Down now to only 3 games Mudflaps?
RFM was gone long ago. Now it's just AC/DC, Kiss and RZ. I'm planning to round out the gameroom with bubble hockey and sit down racers. I hope 3 pins will keep me satisfied.
Quoted from Nevus:Henry started the heavy shop job on Charlie the local operator's DESW. It should be ready for the tournament.
He should be wearing a respirator with an aqualung with the grime on that game!

Quoted from Nevus:Went to DFW to pick up my Lunar Lander monitor from repair. I should have it up and running soon. I stopped by Nickelrama and played Dialed In, Star Wars and Aerosmith. Mudflaps joined me in the adventure. Also, he made me go to Buc-ee's. Where else can you get high fructose corn syrup antelope jerky?
That's me in the picture playing air hockey behind the guy in the hat. I had a great time playing Star Wars and putting my initials on Hobbit.
Quoted from Nevus:Pimped my Aerosmith last night. The photos aren't great, but the game looks amazing!

Missing Houston this year. 
Have a great time everyone!
Quoted from TigerLaw:Oh man, we are going to miss you. Any chance you can pull it off last minute?
I would love to be there, but we have a big event the entire weekend. Please have lots of drinks and take pictures you’re ashamed of the next day.

Quoted from Pinball-is-great:The other weekend we told Mudflaps we would take him to a festival we thought he would enjoy.
At first he was all excited, and he wore that shirt all proud like.
Well we finally get there and start walking around, get something to drink, buy some gifts, and we noticed some people are pointing and giggling at Mudflaps with that shirt he's wearing. Then we grab some seats by one of the performance stages as the next group is getting ready to start.
After about 20 minutes he stands up and asks real loudly:
"Hey, where are all the toilets? When you said a clogging festival, I thought you meant..."
.
You promised you’d never tell that story. Now it’s on the internet forever. I guess I won’t be running for Congress after all.
Quoted from TigerLaw:We should take Mudflaps to the Renissance Festivel. He'd love it. Doesn't it start in a few weeks? Been so long since I've gone.
I love the Renaissance Festival! There are four really big reasons I go:
Quoted from Nevus:Great show!
Capping it off with breakfast at Denny’s before we hit the road.

Quoted from Pinball-is-great:When do you install the fire pole in the bar area of gameroom? Asking for Mudflaps
Quoted from TigerLaw:Big thanks to jodester for coming by to tune up the games for Romp in the Swamp IV. We seem to have Medusa working much better in many ways, changed the slings on GOT, pulled some leaky batteries on TAF (that we had just changed out about six months ago, glad those are off the boards), and did some other minor tweaks.
Will order a couple parts tonight so we will have them before Romp IV. All games should be working.
Looking forward to it!
Quoted from Nevus:Anyone here interested in my Nip-it?
I have $1700 in it, but am willing to let it go for a substantial reduction to my regional pinball pals. No offer will offend me.
Weather permitting, I can bring it to Lake Charles on 12/2. My backup plan would be to sell it at TPF in the Spring.
Throw in that ugly ST LE and you got a deal!
Quoted from Jodester:GB to Mudflaps, KISS home
Yup. Bribing Nevus now into using his escalara.
Quoted from TigerLaw:Yea, those were from the rule explanation at the start of the tourney. Not the most exciting time to take photos but I didn’t take too many generally. Here is a good one with smiles:
There ya go!
Quoted from TigerLaw:What time did y’all make it back to Shreveport?
About 11. I suckered Nevus into helping me move GB into the game room this morning. We’re planning our next trip to LC for the TNA unboxing.
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:I guess Mudflaps was being considerate of others to let them place high in the side tournaments at Romp in the Swamp last weekend.
Mudflaps only entered the main tournament, placed 3rd, and took home a trophy.
He didn't even enter any side tournaments..
Glad you came to Romp in the Swamp pinball party & tournaments Mudflaps, and that you went home with a nice trophy.
Thanks, we had a great time. Nevus and I have been training for the next one.

Quoted from Pinball-is-great:You should check out the gameroom down in the basement.
I already tried that at The Alamo.
Quoted from Nevus:Merry Christmas!!!
I hope your presents are all about 250 lbs in a big box!
And may your node boards only fail within the warranty period.
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:Mudflaps,
Everyone is excited that you made the top 16 for the upcoming IFPA LA State Pinball Championship.
When playing in the tournament, please don't keep machine-gunning the flippers with both hands at the same time.
It's 2018. You need to get past this.
After hitting the start button four times, I like to stand around, confused. When someone finally explains how the game works, I plunge and hit both flippers as fast as I can.
Then I win.
Quoted from Nevus:To clarify, it is okay to use the switch under the cabinet if your opponent is really playing well?
Yes, but you have to make it look like an accident. Like if your boner accidentally bumped it or something.
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:all tournament games will be played with the playfield glass ON.
I’m out then

Quoted from Nevus:Air Force closed (Yes the United States Air Force is closed).
The Air Force is like 7/11. We never close.
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:Hello Barksdale AFB, can I speak to Mr Flaps its important, its about Pinball. We are sorry the Air Force is closed today.
You two in joy your snow day (that is if Mr Flaps is not on the essential personnel list and had to go in)
I am about as non-essential as it gets.
Quoted from TigerLaw:If we are doing single elimination will we be seeding the players? I liked the double elimination we did last time. One reason it went so late is we took awhile before we started the consilation bracket and then when we started it we didn’t have the play in correct so people sat for a long time. I think a two out of three consolation bracket that we commit to would work out and be fairly quick.
No matter what, I’m coming up there for this.
I’m practicing for this one, I’m out for blood! I’m leaving the glass on!!
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:Since Mudflaps is rather humble and modest, I will give a shout out that he quietly slipped in to the top 16 in LA points standings in Dec 2017 by finishing well in Romp in the Swamp main tourney at TigerLaw's.
Then he did some smoke and mirrors pinball stuff at the Ifpa La St Championship last weekend at Jodester's and finished 4th.
Yeah but they let me put a rubber band between the flippers
Quoted from Nevus:Nope. Corrected. Turns out he’s an artist now.
https://www.google.com/amp/abcnews.go.com/amp/Sports/happened-agony-defeat-ski-jumper/story%3fid=41406621
True. His style has changed somewhat, though.
Before the accident:

After the accident:
Quoted from Jodester:A fair afternoon of fixing issues with a few games. Got the broken rubber fixed on Tron. (Time for a total teardown and shop job on that one.) Adjusted the TNT drops on ACDC pro and added another rubber behind the targets to keep ball from being stuck. Also, amazing how a trough switch that was sticking was the cause of my game loading 2 balls in the trough.
All in all a good day of fixing stuff.
Glad you got everything dialed in!
Shadow wireforms and gun packaged for black nickel powdercoat. Doing a deep shop with CPR plastics while I wait, along with fixing a few things.
Picking up Star Wars this week. It never ends.

Quoted from Nevus:I got nothing but Aerosmith, and I'm not ready to break up yet.
Seriously though, always fun to mix it up.
I know, right! I did a 75% game swap the past few weeks, and a 100% swap in the past 8 months. Keep those games fresh!
If I haven’t played it, it’s new to me.
Quoted from TigerLaw:Sorcerer is officially on hold gang. It is staying in the area.
Games we would still move: IM, GoT LE, RFM (and possibly XMen LE and Met Prem).
Hopefully the weather holds up. I’m planning on going back to Beaumont to be on the Mafia stream tonight.
I just picked up SW, or I would have likely been very interested in your IM.
Quoted from TigerLaw:PavBall and I are in no rush and IM is at my office anyway (so it’s not really depriving me of space like the other three are). If you think sometime in the next six months you’d want to trade the SW for the IM, I’ll hold the IM. Let us know.
I’ll be ready to trade SW after dumping a ton of money into it that I can’t get back, right before the massive code update.
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:I don't expect to beat Speed's daughter Emma and the other kids/teens, but it should be entertaining to send Mudflaps off in the hairpin curve wiping out into the refrigerator, ladder, and garden tools.
I try not to brag about it, but I made semi-finals in the 1984 Southwest Regional Hoverboard Championship and Chili Cookoff.
Quoted from TigerLaw:Gosh, that is hysterical...you sell a game and it gets a code update. Hands down proven now! Ha!
Truth. I’m surprised Gorgar didn’t get a wizard mode the day after I sold it.

Are you going after AC also?
It’s a really fun game. Lots to do with varied modes and funny animations. Nice build quality. Not a popular title and the value tanked, but I really enjoy it.
I’m going to wait and see on AC. I’m more interested in IMDN right now.
Quoted from spanks_4:IMDN?? Sorry I'm behind on my abbreviations.
If I ever get in the mood to drive 4 hours north I will have to swing by and put a few games on RZ.
Always welcome
Quoted from TigerLaw:That’s awesome. Would love to see y’all Shreveport gentlemen get your league up and running.
Any major regional Pinball news this weekend? What is the mafia streaming tonight? Any new games pop up in someone’s collection?
Nevus is the Shreveport tourney godfather. I’m waiting patiently for his instructions.
I have a list of pinball to-do’s: wait for TS sound board, re-paint & re-stencil Drop A Card, finish Police Force, etc. How can I do all this while raising a family *and* squeezing in 6 hours of TV a day?
Quoted from Jodester:So, the sound board was bad on Shadow?
Yeah, no biggie.
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:WWE Live will be in Bossier City this coming Sun June 10th, 5pm.
Yeah, I know. I’ll be performing as ‘The Revolting Blob,’ so feel free to check me out if anyone is free that night.

RZ left today.
Great game, just doing the truffle shuffle. I picked up a nice T3 and dropped major coin on a ColorDMD, topper, LEDs and other stuff.
Drop A Card re-paint and stencil has begun. Legs getting EvapoRust, then massive cabinet sanding and repainting. The playfield looks almost perfect, so this will be a sweet looking game.

TF is a great game. Urine for a real treat!
Quoted from Jodester:Wanna sell a treadmill?
That goddamn treadmill is a sore spot and you know it! 
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:Looks like it’s taking up a pinball space?
Exactly
Quoted from TigerLaw:Nice T3! Where did it come from and what did it replace?
RZ is out, T3 is in. It was a swap (plus cash) with a fellow pinsider. We each had to ship the game, which kind of sucked, but life is short.
I’m wrestling with the ColorDMD now and replacing what seems to be about 700 incandescent bulbs. I’ve got a pretty sweet topper on the way, too.
Quoted from ElCid95:Anyone have a lead on T2, Revenge from Mars or Starship Troopers? Looking to make one of those my first pinball game...
^^ Good dude here, and a friend of mine. Keep an eye out for bang for your buck type games for his first game.
Maybe an imamaculate Baywatch?
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:Nevus,
I believe proper protocol is to sign the wall with your online Pinside name just underneath the dent. Then take a pic and post it here on Pinside forum.
If some jackleg Pinsider says "pics or it didn't happen", then boom, you post the pic with your signed dent, and nip that crap. Nip it I say, nip it.
I have a wall of shame that bears many scars from the constant influx of games. Nevus shares the blame for some.

Thanks and welcome to the club!
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:Please pray for me this weekend. It is gonna be brutal hot outside this weekend down here.

I'll be guiding a swamp tour kayaking trip on Sat late afternoon - early evening, then a 2nd paddle trip on Sun afternoon..
Hope our customers are physically fit and in shape well enough to handle the heat.
I’ll be praying... that I run into one of your customers.
Quoted from Arcade:MBrLE
Is this indeed the next Chicago game? The rumors are bouncing all over the place.
Quoted from Nevus:We have beer!
How come when I come over, you’re always out?
Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:Because he likes me better.
Quoted from Jodester:Saturday, yes.
I should be able to do Saturday also pending any antiquing trips the old lady drags me on.

Quoted from Nevus:I’ve got Deadpool fever. I’ll be listing a game this weekend, probably GOTG. We’ll see where it goes.
Please disregard my previous grandstanding about no more nib etc.
Sucker!! 
Quoted from Jodester:I hope you like IMDN better than I do. Played a bunch of Edwin's premium and the game just falls flat to me. His TNA on the other hand is a crowd favorite.
I liked the DP Dead_Flip stream. Shots look fun. My only issue is that I think it may be a long ball time game for better players. Could be a problem for tournaments.
TNA is super, super fun. *However*, I feel like the lack of any real modes, coupled with just the 3-ball multiball, it wouldn’t last in my collection. I seem to be in the minority, though, because everyone who owns it, loves it. I only have a handful of games on it.
IMDN seems more my speed. While it differs from normal ‘flow’ games (Kiss, ACDC), it seems like it has enough to do to keep my interest.
Of course I turn over my collection often, so you never know.
Coop mode on TNA is simple and brilliant. I can’t believe it’s never been done before. That alone makes for a fantastic multiplayer experience.
I usually play with myself, though.

Welcome to the sickness!
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:Maybe you can talk mudflaps into riding with y’all and make a road trip out of it, if you can make it. If he is not out antiquing with the wife Saturday.
Out of town now in our nation’s capital. These antiques aren’t going to buy themselves.
Quoted from TigerLaw:Congratulations to jodester First new moderator for Pinside in three years. Great news for the website.
What?! Well, it was nice knowing him before he inevitably becomes drunk with power
Quoted from Nevus:She will be at my tournament autographing Popsicle sticks for free.
If you want her to eat the Popsicle first, its $100.
I'll see you at the tourney with a stack of 100s and a box of popsicles
Quoted from Jodester:Forget about Deadpool, I have a nice KISS pro to sell you. I will even "throw in" the topper!
(Quiet Mudflaps, don't mess up my sale)
That’s actually a great idea. Buy Kiss, then I can buy it from Nevus after my pin funds are replenished.
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:Finally gettin to watch Waterworld for first time. Action packed. I heard they made an awesome pinball machine with this as a theme.
[quoted image]
Great movie!
Quoted from Jodester:Call me crazy, but I like the movie and the pinball machine.
I would call you crazy, but then I’d get a thread eject for insulting a moderator.
Quoted from TigerLaw:Did you bring home anything else by chance?
Crabs
Quoted from Scott8806:Any interest in starting a club for Louisiana and gulfport people who want to trade games hard to find people down this way
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/ark-la-tex-pinball-club
Nevus started the LA club, but this club sees way more action.
Quoted from ElCid95:Nevus,
I'm interested in both of your arcade games.
I knew it!
Quoted from Jodester:I told him to use cat urine. All he could find was the soda.
On a lighter side note, I am in the ER after our trip this morning. Looks like I may have eaten too much banana but bread from Mrs. Nevus and it is stuck in my small intestine. Hurray! [quoted image]
Oh no! Sincerely, I hope all is well with you.
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:One of the highlights for myself and others was Mudflaps and Nevus surprising us by having Mudflaps brand new Iron Maiden pinball machine set up at Nevus's and in use during the tournaments.
Mudflaps,
Your Iron Maiden machine is fun to play.
Of course this score I put up did not happen during tournament play.
[quoted image]
I won’t be able to look at that game until I erase everyone’s initials. In fact, I think there is a glitch that may require me to re-update the code...
Quoted from Jodester:Cool! Now you can put the glass back on...

[quoted image][quoted image]
I think we all do
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:If y’all don’t mind pissing on my trees (I live in the country) we can have a tourney. I still don’t have a finished bathroom in my game room
Where else are you supposed to piss?
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:Todd asked me to put this on here as he isn’t on pinside. He is selling his Black Hole for $1700. Per Todd the Black Hole is HUO. I have some picks and a video I can send anyone that is interested and get you Todd’s info. Just PM me and include your cell phone number if you are interested in it. Would be nice if we could keep it in LA.
[quoted image]
Pm sent. Let’s keep BH in LA!
Quoted from TigerLaw:You secured that nice Blackhole? We need you to host a tourney as well. There are formats that a four-five game collection would be perfect for a tourney.
I’d love to host a tourney sometime with my meager collection. Squeeze me in when the timing works out.
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:Cool I had heard you were picking this up on Thursday, did you go into the arcade part of Todd's place?
Yeah, his arcade was bananas. 
Quoted from Jodester:Was he rocking 80's videos?
You know it! 
Quoted from scottslash:And the tilt bob at the end of the rod too I bet! lol
He throws those things in the trash. TWD at Nevus’ house has an assault charge pending.
Quoted from Jodester:Well, KISS officially left today. Time to decide what goes in it's place. Ideas???
Deadpool?
JJP POTC??
What about another Kiss?
Quoted from Jodester:That pic makes my butt look big.
And your head kind of looks like a nut sack.
Spent a ton of time on the ‘new’ Black Hole. Removed the Mylar, added all new clear posts and rubbers, LED’ed, and dialed in the gameplay. New motor on the way from China so the backbox doesn’t sound like a meat grinder.
I may clearcoat down the road if the game is a keeper. Super fun so far!
ABBC94B1-E91C-4C9D-A6C7-E7979F5DAB8D (resized).jpegimage (resized).jpgQuoted from TigerLaw:Hello club members! Just checking in on if we have potential dates for 2018 tourneys. I believe both mudflaps and jahpinwizard may be considering an event of some kind. Thanks!
Hey @pinball-is-great, what’s a good date for a Shreveport tourney? I’m happy to host (as long as I’m in town), but I have a small collection (5 games).
Lemme know!
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:I will coordinate w/ some folks and look at the calendar and get back with you soon.
Since it is already late Sep, and with the 30 day advance notice for IFPA tournaments, thus we are looking at a late Oct thru late Dec timeframe for a 2018 tournament, and/or have one in yr 2019.
Let’s shoot for 2019 then. Keep me in mind.
Quoted from Jodester:Pics requested...before and after speaker lights...
Game shoots well. Especially cool that I have a Seawitch two pins down just like in Deadpool...
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
When did you pick up Seawitch? I’ve always wanted one of those...
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:Golf Coast Military trivia, Kyle I'm counting on you to get this right.
So I went to two bases last week first 1 Army been there a bunch. Second one Air Force their slogan Combat Airlift. Where was I? If you need another clue let me know.
Easy.
Burpelson Air Force Base. I used to be stationed there. Col Jack D. Ripper was the wing commander.

BH totally whored out with LEDs, new displays, new motor, clear rubbers, light up buttons, new posts, legs de-rusted, and playfield protector. Maybe one day I’ll play it!

I won’t be able to make Houston this year
Quoted from Nevus:Hoping to see some of you at the Moncla tournament on 11/3. Henry and I are in and Mudflaps might come with us.
I’m on another government funded trip that week.
Have fun!

E59EE449-C5B8-46B3-9AED-3B81218D3F92 (resized).jpegQuoted from scottslash:Yo mudflaps Is it just a sign? Or do they have pins?
It’s a legit business, but apparently they open only sporadically. Our tour guide said he’s seen them open three times in six months.
Quoted from Jodester:Like you didn't know before you went there.
Everyone kept asking about the ‘Meercat.’ I told them he was taking some down time and recovering in Lake Charles. 
Quoted from angus:mudflaps should have let me know you were in town! We could have hung out. I was actually in Lyons on Saturday. It is a great place.
Darn! We were on a tour, so unfortunately we didn’t have a ton of time, but I’d love to reach out if we’re. ever in the area again.

Quoted from Jodester:I like that IMDN topper Mudflaps.
When are we doing a Star Wars temp trade?
I just picked it up from Tilt Toppers and it’s pretty sweet. He does great work.
You may have to get in line with Nevus on SW, but I’m always up for a temp trade anytime. Sometimes they wind up staying here permanently!
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:Sounds like that old I know I guy that knows a guy.
I know that guy
Quoted from Nevus:Mudflaps and I got to reactor 5 today in 4P co-op.
[quoted image][quoted image]
That picture makes it look like the glass is on.
Quoted from Nevus:Notice the way Mudflaps is holding the game. He kept asking me where the “pleasure opening” was in the coin door. I told him this not like his “robot” at home.
For your information, I do have a pleasure robot at home. Unfortunately, it looks like Yul Brynner.

Quoted from ElCid95:It's pretty quiet here as of late. I just wanted everyone to know I installed LED's in my Buck Rogers and it really brightens up the entire experience! Big shout out to Mudflaps for his recommendations for changing the colors of the lane guides and the rubbers!
[quoted image]
Dude, you need to stamp that photo as NSFW because it’s sexy!
Quoted from Jodester:What about me?[quoted image]
You wish you looked like Ron Swanson!
Quoted from TigerLaw:Instead of “sweep the leg”, it’s going to be “bump the elbow”.
“Spill the drink”

Quoted from Jodester:Dead around here. Any pinball events or unboxings to post?
I will post pics if I ever get my MBrLE...
Sad to say we’ll be moving early this summer. Off to areas unknown...
I’ll likely be selling (or 2 for 1 swap) some of my games to lighten the load and keep the weight under limits.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at TPF!
Quoted from Nevus:Fine, Star Wars and Black Hole for High Speed.
IMDN for your Spooky translite.
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:Areas unknown? Or areas you can’t tell us?
Not finalized yet. I’m waiting for instructions.

Quoted from TigerLaw:Hello everyone.
Romp in the Swamp (I think it is VI) will be on Sunday, April 14th. It will have one big main tourney using the match play format similar to what the Moncla Mafia utilize (though it will have a small variant to their format). It will have one sizable side tourney using the best game format (probably four games will be in play).
If anyone wants to bring an EM that game would be welcome. I plan to reach out to Sean and see if he can do some of those bangers or otherwise cater the event for us.
I hope some of our friends from Mississippi can join us and I hope some of our friends from Texas can join us. We will create the pages and IFPA entries soon with more details.
*Note, I had to change the date above from the Saturday the 13th to Sunday the 14th due to an unmovable schedule conflict I had.*
I’ll try to make this one if I can.
In other news, we’ll be moving to New Brunswick, NJ this summer. Still thrashing about on what to take with me or what to sell/trade/lend.
Maybe I’ll just offload everything and buy a Magic Girl.

Quoted from Nevus:I’m thinking of giving him glass off on one game of his choice
so he can play like he does at home.
This is what I do to glass!

Edit: Sold
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:We're gonna need participation ribbons for the Mudflaps Invitational.
You misspelled ‘rubbers.’
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:I thought this was going to be the MVTI (mudflaps vegetable tray invitational).
