Just the opposite, videos got me into pins. All my buddies were into Mame, and I went to California Extreme every year to hang out and play the vids.
Saw a kid playing MM with the castle blowing up. Didn't realize what pins could do. I put a few games on some, and I was hooked.
Now they consider me the "pinball" guy. Feel weird because when I talk to my pin friends, I feel like a dumb shit compared to what they know.
