    So we did it, we convinced he bosses to put pinball in our office!

    We just recently expanded our building and added a second break room. Our first break room already has arcade multicabs, a pool table and a ping pong table.

    When they announced the second room we pushed hard and got a VPCab, a Foosball table and a wall of Xboxes. They even went so far as to get custom gaming cabinets made in the shape of pinball flippers!

    I wanted to give a special thanks to the guys over at VPcabs who made the purchase and delivery smooth. It was also incredibly easy to set up once we received it. The machine gets a TON of play every day and stands up to a lot of abuse - we have a number of very enthusiastic nudgers here. It's been so popular that we're trying to pressure the bosses into letting us put in a second machine.

    Quoted from ectobar:

    Virtual Pinball is not pinball.
    Still looks like a sweet ass place to work though.

    Virtual pinball is what got me into the hobby in the first place.

    I play at a local arcade every Thursday and the virtual machine has sparked enough interest that a couple of guys from the office go with me now and are signing up for league and buying real machines.

    We even had our Q4 wrap-up party at a pinball place.

    Virtual or not, if it grows the hobby I'm all for it.

    We're also a stone's throw from you (a long throw) in Exton! If you ever want to come out on a Thursday, just let me know!
