TONS of great pics - thanks Jared~!

Jared, thanks for the Lexi pics - hell, all of them - only thing unbearable at these shows is the NOISE!!!

Great footage Jared!! Thanks

Great quality of pic's as well

Nice pics. Wish I could of been there.

Hah, kids coming in the 'exit only' at 0:39.

Thanks for posting these Jared. I liked seeing the pics. Wish I could have made it, but I live in the wrong country. I really enjoyed seeing people with those cool Pinside Lanyards.

Cool that you logo-stamped the photos! Maybe the logo could be bit smaller? Like 1/3rd the size? But hey, that's nitpicking, I enjoyed the photos, thanks for posting!

My derby day also got some news coverage, pigging backing on the Acrylic project.

Haha, nice pic of me (left), my brother (center) getting ready to stuff our faces with some Pastrami sammiches. Pretty sure that is Noahs_Arcade in front of us.

Awesome stuff!

That acrylic game is a work of art.

Very nicely done, Jared!!

The show was fantastic!!

Yes, the acrylic game is fantastic...I hope you got more pix of that...

In odd chance people aren't aware, the acrylic build is documented here:

Fantastic pics! Thanks for sharing it all with us chumps that can't be there!

Just a few close ups of the playfield?

Yes, been following it...but nice to see it in the wild...

Jared,

Holy wows! Thanks for documenting that Williams 3-D woodrail. I'd imagine those pictures are not easy to take, but from the looks of it there's some sort of a one-way mirror with elements (people) behind it that are revealed when illuminated from behind the one-way mirror? *gasp* People must have been crapping their pants in 1958 when this hit the street. Heck, I'm close to doing so nearly 60 years later!

In a slightly related topic, maybe you could submit these Williams 3-D photos to IPDB. The documentation of this feature leaves a lot to be desired over there.

Again, thanks for taking so much of your time to bring us the wonders of Texas. Robin, get this man a mass-insert button!

Take care,

Wouldn't the argument be, for large collection image posts like that, to just leave them as attachments and let the user slideshow them if they want to, rather than load them in the thread every time. Saves bandwidth, too.

Or is that too mean for phone/tablet users?

Personally, I love these in-thread picture posts. ...but I must admit, I wasn't aware that a link-to-slideshow option even existed on this site. Is that even possible here on Pinside? (Not being snarky, honestly curious.)

Well lets see. I'll attach four images and not "insert" them in the post.

Edit - after post note: So it just put them all at the bottom by itself. in order. The "insert in post" is only really necessary if you want to intermingle with text.

Jared, Did you get a picture of my Centaur and Xenon, Quicksilver ?

Okay, pardon my ludditic nature, but I'm not seeing how you attach vs insert. I uploaded a couple images (completely not self-serving) and didn't see any alternate means of "attaching". The final version is a screenshot of what I was looking at.

Pics were fun to follow. Nice job, Jared

That "insert in post" link will put the image include text for that particular attachment wherever the cursor currently is: Jared was hitting that for every image, rather than letting them auto insert.

...aaand where is the auto-insert function? I seriously do not see it.

That Quicksilver makes my pants feel funny.

There's nothing to see. Any attachments you don't use the "insert in post" link on gets appended to the end of the post automatically. I didn't "insert" any of my 4 images, they just appeared.

OOOOOOoooaaaahhh...

...ooOH?

Lemme try:

Edit: Hey! It worked! (...for me.) Wonder what's going on for Jared. Browser issue? I'm using Chrome. Would that make a difference?

Hi everyone. This is Jonathan from Arcade Repair Tips. I just found this thread and wanted to give everyone an update.

We are working diligently to get all of the seminars from the Texas Pinball Festival uploaded to our YouTube page. We added the Gary Stern and Steve Ritchie seminars last night. We are adding them in the order they were presented. Our goal is to have all of them uploaded by the end of the week. Here is a link where you can view them (as well as the rest once they are available): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLreI2qlrvp9UY_mFjx24t8iZfXG2XTEqA

After reading some of the comments in this thread, I believe it is important to live stream the seminars so if we are selected to be the moderators for next year we will do everything in our power to make that happen. Also, it was nice to meet you Jared and thank you for coverage in this thread.

Thanks Jared. We had a great time moderating the seminars and recording the podcasts live from the festival. We were extremely lucky to have Gerry from Multimorphic and Jack from Jersey Jack Pinball join us on our Saturday Wrap Up (episode S17) show. Here's a link to all of our podcasts from the festival in case people didn't get a chance to listen to them live: http://www.spreaker.com/show/arcade_repair_tips_qa_podcast

Yes, you are correct. It is up to the organizers (in this case Ed, Paul and company) to decide whether or not they want us or another party to live stream the seminars. With that said, I personally think that the benefits outweigh the loss of admission that might occur. I just don't think most people come to events like this only for the seminars. To me, the seminars are a nice addition to being able to play 400+ games in the game room. Of course, we will respect any decision made by the organizers of the event. They have consistently done an outstanding job year after year and we are very grateful for the amount of time and hard work they put in to the festival.
