It's funny when people call me "Pinball Wizard." They think they are being very clever. I just smile politely, unless they are guys I can banter with, and then I reply sarcastically, "I'll have to remember that! Did you just think of it? I've never heard that before!"

I've been playing poker once a month with the same five or six guys over the last 13 years. These guys rarely notice if I get a new machine in the line-up (only space for five). If I get a different machine, sometimes it takes them six months before someone will ask, "Is that a new one?"

A couple of these guys are pretty close friends. They come over even more than just poker nights, but rarely play the games. My Megatouch by the bar is mostly what they play, if anything (also have a MAME cabinet).
