I watched and enjoyed a lot of the coverage. Got to hear a couple Levi BOOMs in there as well which was a highlight. When Elwin won a game on an EM vs Danielle in literally 15 seconds that was pretty crazy. Funny how confused Levi and the other announcer were too because everyone thought it was still practice.

Saw a lot of good games. Saw some classic Cayle grinding shit out which was just fun and on brand. Excellent job all around.

That format is intense. That's a lot of damn pinball. Definitely a lot too deal with mentally. Congrats to all the players! The stream had around 500 viewers all weekend, which I know isn't much of anything in the grand scheme, but still super legit for pinball.

Definitely Elwin vs Danielle. It was a hit the left saucer game. Danielle got 5 house balls. Elwin hit the saucer twice on ball one and the game was over. Pretty sure it was you in the booth at the time but maybe not.

Lol. It was you.

Found it. Bon Voyage.

There's coverage from every day.

This is becoming a bigger scandal than when LFS declined playing in B at Pinburgh!

I'm outraged!

I forget about that, now I'm double outraged!

I'm kidding of course. Playing in all day multi day tournaments is taxing on your mind and body. It's a very different beast than your local monthly. I thought it was odd, but I can relate to just wanting to be done with it. Also, they owe us nothing.

Once my local tax dollars start subsidizing pinball arenas, then I'll start being butt hurt about players actions.

Yawn.
Cool story bro.

Some will look at GDP and CPI for insight into our economy's health, but for me, BOOM/BUCK is key.

I have heard he's <moderated>

I just watched the vid of Stone blowing up F14. I went in to see him roll it, but the 3-way BOOM and Top Gun commentary stole the show.

That setup was excellent. Was a good time hanging around cheering on the finals.

I'm not going but Yegpin looks like it's going to have a similar setup

Soda and pop are fine, but the whole 'coke' thing is bonkers.

I can deal with that one, but the fact that "I'll take a coke, Pepsi" is a real sentence somewhere is just silly.

This seems pretty normal to me these days.

First time I had seen this but I'm not mad at it.

A little weird but I think the score reel is probably the answer. As you know a reel was a whole thing at Pinfest and then another similar incident happened at the DPO. Easier to babysit one reel I guess.

1. It's the world championship
2. It's a best of 7 match between elite players
3. It went up to 9 games because they were tied 3-3 after 6
4. It was still probably closer to 3 hours

It happened to a couple of matches and as someone who was just watching the stream, I was all for some bonus action. Not sure how I would have felt as a participant.

Did you know that some stripper poles spin and others don't?

I saw a stripper fall off a 2 story pole in a club on Bourbon St. She walked away. There have definitely been some casualties though.

Don't know if the full streams are anywhere, but there are still a ton of clips from the event on the Asylum page

So then since cargo shorts and New Balance sneakers are mandatory attire for competitive pinball, case closed, it's a sport.
