Quoted from sohchx:Wow Dave!! You are really coming from NZ to Replay?? Now THAT is dedication!! I wonder who will be traveling the farthest distance this year? And I complain about driving 3hrs to get there lol.
There are a bunch of Aussies here. Just ran into some of them.
They are 2 hours fly time further than me, so they get the prize.

Heads up for anyone thinking ofpingolf pre tourney. Packed, HOT, and games playing pretty weak on many. Tough goals so long playing we were there at start and took over three hours to play through nine. Bottle necks were jbot and totan
Suggestions for other fun stuff to do tonight / this afternoon???
Preferrablylower key and in walking or short uber from convention center area.
Upper Saint Clair, PA
There will be the weekly Kickback tourney at Kickback over in Lawrenceville (like 5 min Uber from DL Convention) - but the place has a max capacity of like 60-70 folks. Still it's a great coffee bar with about 20 pins, mostly 90s/newer with a TNA. starts at 7pm.
Quoted from pinmanic:Is there anyone who need Euros? I like to change 500 Euro cash in USD. Banks asking extreme high charges . easiest way to contact me is by facbook message

Will be today also at Pingolf tournement
If you can hook up with a Pinsider who uses BofA and actually has a few bucks in their accounts, they can probably help you exchange them at a minimum cost.
I'm thinking about driving up for this in a spur of the moment sort of way. Can my old ass drive 1K miles in a day? I've done it before when I was young and stupid. Haven't had an adventure in a long time. I've just dropped my wife and daughter off at the airport for a week in Boston. I've got nothing going on. She ain't gonna like it if I do it though. What to do?

I’d head over right now. I think they do $30 after 5pm.

Yep, $27.99 for 5pm to 10pm.
We were there last night ... no crowds, it was awesome. We did all the coasters in just over an hour. That’s the way to do it!

Cargo shorts and a t-shirt?
Couple of newbie questions:
1) Will all games be on free play Thursday? I'm not a tourney player - just want to play many titles and thinking of going Thursday
2) Anyone bringing a AFMLE or WH20 for sale b/c I will come with cash. Also have TnA for sale. FYI
Quoted from DaveH:I realize I’m just bonkers because it’s my first time here... but wow!
That does look bigger than Southern Fried. Does Pinburgh have wrestling?

This is in the Replay/FX area.

Plus eventually a lot of the Pinburgh games move to the public area. So it looks like there is plenty of Pinball to be had!
And there were a bunch more not in this picture, but I was getting hungry, so I left before snapping more.
Quoted from InfiniteLives:okay, so now i am so fing hyped for replay fx / pinburgh. I just saw there is a windjammers tournament on saturday and that is my true calling in life.
It's a remarkably fun game for such a dumb premise.
Quoted from delt31:thanks - looking to really play ToM and WH20....trying to decide which one to try next. Never owned either! Did you see them there?
I can almost guarantee that at least one of each of them will be there. Unfortunately they may be tied up for tourney until late Saturday or Sunday. I could be wrong though.

that's good to know though. For the best opp to play as many games in free play, is Sunday the best bet or Sat night?

Saturday night, everything the light touches will be your kingdom.
If they are selling any show posters, and someone can pick one or two up for me, I’ll cover costs and make pinside donation in your name. Have fun!
For those who haven't seen, the replay fx app not only tells you what games are there but also where they are located.
Frankfurt Am Main
So the lanyard lists 8-9am Thursday as “Pinburgh Machine Testing”. Is that the time we get to try out some games before the tournament? I realize I won’t know what machines I’ll be playing on. I just want to get a feel for how they are setup before starting.
Edit: Oh skip this. The Replay App says yes!! Granted, it’s play testing and finding issues. But yes.
Quoted from greenhorn1:For those who haven't seen, the replay fx app not only tells you what games are there but also where they are located.
The app seemed to be a little light on the pinball machines.
So my only option is to run down Thursday night to play, is it worth it for a few hours?
Leaving for Vaca Friday am (I know poor planning)

If you've never been I would say it's worth it just to see the spectacle, and of course there's tons of games outside the tournament area to play as well.
Quoted from DaveH:I FINALLy got to play an Interflip Dragon! I’m already a winner
Did you get those pop bumpers lit? It's funny, the game would be really balanced if it wasn't for those ridiculous pops!
I have a left and right ramp for monopoly laying around so if someone is interested at the show I can bring and sell for cheap (100 for both). Selling as a pair only. PM if interested. Left is really hard to find. Def worn condition but not bad - check pics in my ad.
Quoted from NicoVolta:Got an extra weekend wristband... $50 good?
Going once?
PM sent
Looks like I'll be coming to REPLAYFX on Sunday. Driving from Columbus, Ohio to arrive about 9 or 10am. Hope to see some old friends and some new. RotorDave, I'm looking in your direction.
Quoted from ViolinSteve:RotorDave, I'm looking in your direction.
Violent Steve!
We will be here buddy. Dunno what doing ... but we will be around somewhere ...

Anyone staying at the Hyatt House Bloomfield/Shadyside who'd want to split an uber there and back at any point this weekend? Forgot how expensive the fares can be.
Melbourne
Quoted from solarvalue:Sorry if this has been asked before but where will the stream of the finals be available?
I believe PAPA does it. So will be on their Youtube channel
Quoted from bgwilly31:Is there a after party tonight?
Well, me and Fiona had one ...
Quoted from Frippertron:Did you get those pop bumpers lit? It's funny, the game would be really balanced if it wasn't for those ridiculous pops!
I think Dragon is actually balanced nicely when extra balls are enabled. Once that happens everything on the playfield matters and you are facing some interesting risk/reward scenarios. Disabling the extra balls is what makes the game unbalanced.
