    I'm 14 years old and pinball is my life.

    I don't only play for fun but I've also helped another pinball community with articles and have streamed for them in the past. It's the first hobby I really got invested in and I hope I still enjoy the hobby when I'm older. I also wish good luck to other teenagers out there who have just discovered how great pinball is. :3

    In fact, my entire family discovered pinball because of me!

    I feel that anyone can play pinball in tournaments, but enthusiasts like most of us here would enjoy it the most.

    Anyway, back to what I was talking about earlier...

    I'm different from many other people. Because of how my brain works I acknowledge details but sometimes fail to see the big picture. I focused primarily on myself in the last post I made and I'm sorry about that.

    The longevity of pinball really depends on who is playing it. If it's a kid who's around 6 - 10 years old they may lose attention quickly and go play a video game. Older people aren't much different but they may be willing to give pinball a try. Adults are the most likely people to play because of how often they see pinball machines in bars and restauraunts.

    While I enjoy pinball as much as everyone else here, kids and teenagers should feel free to have different opinions and try not to think too much about my post.
