    Looking forward to a post-COVID era when travel to see the new location and play some pins is a good idea. Looks like it will be a great location.

    Quoted from Electrocute:

    Really hope he makes this happen.

    If he can just keep the current pace he'll make it by May when he needs to be done. Pretty sure he'll be at the goal within 60 days, though. Good to see all the support he's getting.

    Quoted from Azmodeus:

    Slight digression./// Tip assumption is spreading. DoorDash has it too.
    It really annoys me. The world I live in you earn your tip. For the Most part.

    You've obviously never been to downtown Chicago. EVERYONE has their hand out.

    Quoted from dgarrett:

    I figure the donation I just made is just a short term cash flow and eventually Tim will be donating again - so its like a pay it forward donation. If you aren't sure, just think of $20 as a typical trip to your local location. What's one day's worth of arcade action to throw to the PHOF? Do it now.

    Quoted from vdojaq:

    Yes, every dollar helps and I have donated a couple of times myself. To call the project bankrupt is a bit of a reach and kind of an insult to the people you are asking money from.

    Yes, it seemed like a little too much hyperbole. It's a short-term cash crunch, not bankruptcy.

    Quoted from LTG:

    Las Vegas severely limits where you can have grass.
    LTG : )

    A cool pinball mural on those blank building walls would be cool, but no idea what the size limits are in Vegas for murals.

    Quoted from MrBally:

    Tim's brother Tom, who owns the Pinball Pete's in East Lansing and Ann Arbor was Ill and then died this past Monday

    Well, that's terrible. COVID or something else?

    I really wish they'd at least duplicate their videos on youtube for the people that haven't lost their minds.

    Thanks for that. Hopefully whoever is posting the facebook videos mirrors them to youtube. The goal is not to have to set foot on facebook at all, even as a visitor, since they are so abusive with not respecting privacy at all and trying to claw in every bit of information they can on non-facebook users also so they can monetize that.

    Quoted from grantopia:

    Nothing like Google owned YouTube is doing, I'm sure .

    Google is very bad, but Facebook is RIDICULOUS. I often say lately that Facebook and Google are the two most dangerous companies in the world. Facebook doing things like scraping data from phones with open bluetooth that happen to be in the VICINITY of a phone with Facebook INSTALLED (not running, installed) even if those phones owners aren't even ON facebook and Google hiding mics in their nest products disguised as capacitors or using Chrome to scrape any network a machine running it is connected to are really bad, but our lawmakers don't understand the threat to stop it.

    But if I have to pick one, I'd take Google over Facebook. But definitely a lesser of two evils thing.

    Quoted from AnimeDude892:

    Here’s the video. You’re welcome.

    Great work! You are deputized to the official PBHoF video mirror-er. Thanks!
