I thought I was the only one...

I love watching a Bowen tutorial on my lunch break. Sometimes it takes two lunches to finish one of his tutorials!

Yes, missing the PAPA videos as well over here. Looking forward to watching the Pinburgh 2012 video series. I figure it's one of two things:

- Vimeo has been busted for uploading vertical videos for the last 6 weeks, maybe 7 at this point. On the surface it doesn't look like there is much concern from the Vimeo staff. See http://tinyurl.com/crtz65c (had to use tinyurl as the forums kept thinking the vimeo link was for a video) for the help topic thread. That's why the last few videos were put on YouTube.

- Commentary tracks are not ready.

I know Mark jumps on PinSide occasionally so he might chime in if he sees the thread.

I need my fix. On the other hand, my track marks are healing nicely.

Huh?

Works for me

On a side note... I too am addicted. I travel a lot for my job & stream the videos through my car's aux input. Often I consider taking my tv off the fireplace & laying it across one of my pins to stream full screen & pretend to be some of the epic players in the vids lol

I think people are bemoaning the fact it has not had any updates in a few weeks.

I too look forward to any new videos. I figure they are busy with division b commentary.

I got used to coming home and every day a new PAPA video, its like your favorite show on everyday. Then there would be a few missed days , I mean Bowen has to compete sometimes so its understandable. Then there was problems with Vimeo and You Tube and its like its now I'm missing it so I go through the ones I watched again. Shows appreciate it when theres new ones as its great stuff.

Me too. My wife things I'm a total dork because I sit here and watch the PAPA archive and react loudly to bad drains and good saves or shots.

DITTO !

I think it's just a great way to experience games I haven't played in person or have even heard of ever!

Video added 11 hours ago. Whole division A finals. Over an hour long

Perfect!

Something to do now...

We should start a Bowen Kerins fan club!

Awesome update.

Good to see a new video and an hour long one is a bonus.

This vid will take about 15hrs outta my life, cause i will probably watch it 15 times

Going through serious withdrawal (both pinball and PAPA vids) over here in China. Stupid great firewall of China blocks YouTube and vimeo. Looking forward to going home (and playing pinball!) later this week.

Great example of a Spoonerism!

Look, I'm glad y'all are enjoying the videos. But you do understand that a tutorial is supposed to help you improve your game? I see no evidence whatsoever that any of you are improving your game. I'm seeing a bunch of guys huddled behind their monitors drinking beer and shoveling Doritos down their throats all night while watching videos. Where are the pics of epic GC scores? Where's the bragging?

Come on guys. Do the right thing. Pull yourself out of the chair and go practice. We seriously need more good players. Plus, you could use the exercise. Have you looked in a mirror lately?

"TV, my favorite excersise"

Honestly, if I played a little less and watched more videos, I'd probably be a better player. It would definitely help my league and tournament play anyway. Bookwork (videos) helps with those.

Today I'm trying to get new flipper button switches right on a Ripley's. Friggin switches. Once I do, I will put a severe beating on the game. I can't tell you exactly how it will happen, but it will happen. A beating will be administered. Oh yes it will.

Actually, I have posted a bunch of my high scores on Pinside. But much too lazy to post pics of each one... There are just too many.

6 9 Dinner for Two haha...never heard that before...so funny...

I love those videos and I have learned a lot in just a month. I also drive my wife crazy with the dialogue. Brick, drain, gotta get ball control, all the trick shot lingo, commentary when the machine does not register a score...

I've probably watched one a day since they put them up on Christmas last year.
I snag the iPad, turn it long-ways and watch them full screen every night before I go to sleep.

sweet pinball dreams...

glad there's a support group for this now.

Classic game rooms pinball reviews are also a really great way to get your video fix, and they are funny as hell.

Rest assured, you are not the only one.

Gotta say I think the vids are great.
