    I try to bring up the good game of pinball with nearly everyone I meet

    Quoted from RCA1:

    There's your mistake.

    Absolutely this! Glad I wasn't the only one thinking it. Unless gaming somehow comes up naturally in the conversation, I never try to push it. Having the arcade video games comes up way more even though I also don't bring that stuff up.

    I had somebody really put the press on me with Disney collectibles, all these little ceramic thimbles, cups and figurines. I tried to be nice, but couldn't even feign interest and also couldn't get away quick enough. I never want to be the guy doing that to someone that doesn't give a shit about pinball. lol

    Quoted from pinmanguy:

    There's a difference I think. I'll bring it up if someone says to me "what did you do on the weekend?" which is common around the office I might say I picked up a pin, spent time working on one, had friends over to play pinball and the conversation goes from there if they ask questions about it. If they don't that's the end of it. I think when people say they bring up pinball it isn't a case of a one sided conversation where you just cram a bunch of info down their throat.

    You work with better people than me... If I brought it up, there would be nonstop singing of Pinball Wizard and The Accused references. Funny but a bit relentless. lol
