Quoted from wesman:

It seems like it only makes a person's profile available via hotlink. On most forums, there should be a notification sent to them. I haven't seen that feature on here oddly....

You can view any posts where it was done to you by clicking the @ icon in the upper right. Alerts were supposed to be part of the Pinside + perks however I am not sure if that was implemented yet.

Thanks for the explanation. I have a plus but I don't have a way to hit the crazy a

CCR number 1 going into service. CCR number 2 incoming. Helicon Brewing is the only location in the world to have CCR in head to head play. Come check it out!

Huge thanks to Gerry at Multimorphic for everything he has done for us since he started this journey. If Lexi wasn't your thing, give CCR a try. It's a much different game and lightning fast. Also know that Multimorphic supports their products above and beyond what is expected.

Let us know what you think!!

Cheers!

I love how the Adam's Family topper is perfectly in the background and it doesn't look out of place.

#406 5 years ago

Made it to Helicon for the first time last weekend. Didn't realize the tourney was going on, but the place was hopping (no pun intended).

My wife has played my machines in the basement maybe 1-2 times total, but after our trip there, she wants a GOT!

Definitely going to coming back.

I'm glad you both got to enjoy yourselves at Helicon. We think it is a great representation of all manufacturers of pinball. Let us know the next time you stop out. I'd love to introduce myself and buy a round.

Let's do this!

Awesome! We appreciate it. It's also a great deal for the selection of games and the included beers.

Attended one of these a few months back. Great deal and fun times!

Thanks for the kind words. We feel it an awesome opportunity for our customers to get to play a volume of games. We also limit the registration so it does not get overly crowded and you guys get your money's worth.

#415 5 years ago

We stopped in to Helicon yesterday. Great selection of games, and great beer. I am looking forward to going back in the future.

Thanks for visiting. We appreciate the kind words. The selection of games started out small but had risen to an incredible collection from multiple era's. It does take a massive effort to keep 40 games running so I'm always glad to hear you have enjoyed your time at Helicon.

Cheers!

Tomorrow is our Free Play event at Helicon. The brewery will be closed to the public, however walk up tickets are available. $20 gets you 2 craft beers of your choice and 7+ hours of free play pinball. The selection of games is truly second to none with some new arrivals in the mix for this event. Hope to see you there, if you see me be sure to say hello and introduce yourself. I love discussing pinball, beer, whiskey/bourbon, 911's and coin op history in general.

I want to thank everyone for their continued support and it's amazing to meet others from such distances. We appreciate the love!

Excellent! Really excited to play this, while enjoying a delicious Helicon brew!

#428 5 years ago

Regardless of what you think of the theme you have to admit that it's perfect for a brewery. Heck the launch party should all be in one handed play mode.

Shopping out these 2. Do you think they would improve the collection of games at Helicon?

=)

You live like 15 min from the place why aren't you there???

How much longer before they start moving brewing equipment out of there to make more room for pins???

Sorry, I forgot the 123 red lights LOL

At this point Chris' need to change name to Helicon Pinball Brewing and the slogan can be "Come TILT a beer with us" !!!

#446 5 years ago

Looks like there is lots of room to expand the space (at least land wise).

#447 5 years ago

This is all hilarious. I love you guys. TBL and Alien will be throughly tested before they visit locations again. Both gave me some serious heart ache. Oktoberfest I am told very soon. As soon as I know for sure I'll let yall know.

As far as helicon. It is a brewery first. I love the product and I hope they continue to allow us to service their location. =)

#448 5 years ago

Free Play tomorrow. Just a reminder. $20 gets you unlimited play all day and 2 drinks from Helicon Brewing. Happy hour hours are in effect. See you there!

#449 5 years ago

Thanks to everyone that came out. What an amazing turnout! We appreciate it and hope everyone sees the value in this. It's a great way to bring a friend and introduce them to the world of pinball we live in!

Keep flippin! More to come. PS: Black Knight LE looks incredible! See it at the brewery soon. =)

Cheers!
