Hey Team EM-sters going to TPF...

Our Memphis pinball pal David Yopp is whipping up a last-second batch of tees:

IF you want one for TPF, you will need to send him a PM - dyopp21

All orders must be in by 5PM CST tomorrow (3/13). If you want one, I suggest not waiting until the last minute!

Quoted from Jumping-Box:

For all the the out-of-towners...

Hey Mr. J! Doing a story on TPF this year?

All good suggestions and don’t forget the Dallas World Aquarium which is part indoor rainforest/part aquarium... world class!

Also Reunion Tower is worth doing for the view. Touristy, yes, but still good!

Quoted from Jumping-Box:

I want to! But I need a "hook", something unique or a strong character to profile. Any ideas, please let me know. Previous stories:

How about Jeff's prewar game section? It's quite popular and proves the timelessness of classic designs even without flippers. Maybe also combine with Paul's incredible tiki-pinball machine? No other pinball machine has exhibited this level of woodcraft! It may have been the most-photographed machine at TPF last year, even in its unfinished form. Now it's on a whole new level.

With Jonathan Joosten of Pinball Magazine and Aimee Simmons of Roanoke Pinball Museum.

I’ll be leaving in about a week but plan to return each year for TPF. Will miss a lot of my local peeps!

Robin, Ryan, and I are hoping you are here instead of on the other side of the screen.

Ryan is discovering... something new... about EM’s that I will let him spill the beans about.

Remember effin’ Bryan from effin’ Connecticut? Well he’s just found a new game he really likes: Golden Arrow. “I played about 400 games!”

I’d say that’s a big yes.

Ron from Slam Tilt Podcast stopped by for a Cheetah shout-out. I think he’s got it almost ready.

So tired... but so worth it. TPF is the best.

Will really miss my local peeps, but if you’re ever in Virginia we will show you a good time at the Roanoke Museum. <3

PONG machine was awesome! Proof that the simplest of games can still be fun when translated to the physical world.

And thus, why pinball will always be relevant.

Quoted from trilogybeer:

Trilogy Brewing co. got runner-up in the custom catagory . Thank you TPF !

People talk a lot of crap about what redemption machines have done to the arcade... but I gotta say a beer-dispensing pinball machine would get A LOT more quarters from my pocket! Love it!

#1654 6 years ago

Shout-out for first-time meet with @ryan1234. Will we be seeing you again next year?

Quoted from ryan1234:

Maybe...
Did I hear correctly that you won a award?

Yes runner-up best 70’s EM for Skyrocket and nothing for Old Chicago due to that last-minute cabinet paint failure. Otherwise... who knows what might have been?

Quoted from 85vett:

Not sure of a solution but I think the cramped quarters was the only negative. Overall another great show!

With greater awesomeness comes complexity and this year the floor layout felt like navigating one of those tilting maze-labyrinth games. Was occasionally challenging to describe where to meet people or where anything was.

Not sure how this can be fixed but I’ve heard rumors of some games possibly in the hallways next year?

#1667 6 years ago
Quoted from woody76:

I could be totally wrong but I think Keith holbrook does the touch and clear

Holbrook did Old Chicago, Neo did Skyrocket.

Thanks for bringing that. Have been curious to flip it for a while and see how well foreign builds fare when they tinker with the geometry.

Next one I’d like to try: Maresa Wheel!
