Only so many times you can listen to Dark side of the moon so have now put on Wish you were here
Down to 96 people online, so it's safe to come out again.
We had a long weekend here (Labor Day--don't ask why it's in November), so I'm back at work for the first time this week. Got to play some pinball on location. Played really, really badly.
What do you folks do when you've travelled to an arcade to play some pinball and just !@#$#ing suck? It feels like such a waste
Quoted from solarvalue:Hi fellas, almost missed the dark side tonight.
Worried for a moment .... but you made it! Great
Almost late. Rainy and crappy weather, nothing happening at work, wood chopping frenzy ahead after work. Not much to be happy about today

Unfortunately Arcades have become a thing of the past (in the traditional sense) over here, not like when i was a lad. Ahhh MEMORIES--------using untold amounts of coins in the latest video games and pinball machines, playing the favourite song of the day/week/month/year Over and Over and even Over again on the jukebox. Seems a world away from today's youth who (only my observation) appear to have their heads DOWN and stuck in their phones eternally. I guess it's relative though, new toys for boys and gals

I found oz pretty good for arcades compared to many places--brisbane has a whole bunch of timezones and so on. Was on the north queensland coast last year and nearly every small town had a machine or two on location.

Thats probably the case up North but most Timezones seem to have disappeared out of the CBD part of Melbourne and as for country areas, forget it
Quoted from centerflank:We on? Waxing Xmen/tumbling balls and replacing a sling switch, glad it has 6 wires to solder.
We are on indeed and about to replace the T-molding on my RFM from a "sick" coloured yellow (previous owners preference) to a nice green I've never been keen on the standard red myself !!
thxgivin' slow down...
doesn't seem as active as it was this time last year.
the whole black friday lead-up and day was abuzz in 2013.
...or just seemed that way?
Time for afternoon coffee, 1:52pm here. This evening no pinball, no shop job but a chop job instead. A huge pile of firewood is waiting to be chopped and stored in the woodshed. Blaah
Nah, I've been up for an hour, and on Pinside the whole time (4:30-5:30am Eastern). A bit late for me ... Usually on between 2:30-4:30.
I guess I'm too early. 12:45am on the east coast with 288 Pinsiders still stomping around the halls. Must be all you west coast folk.
Come on people, wait at least 65 minutes for us Mountain Time Pinsiders. Most of the EM Pinsiders will be fast asleep after 11PM MST.
Quoted from pinster68:I guess I'm too early. 12:45am on the east coast with 288 Pinsiders still stomping around the halls. Must be all you west coast folk.
Yeah, it's still a couple of hours away, usually about 2am in the west and 4am on the east coast.
Well it looks like close to 100 have left these hallowed halls. 2:10am and 194 left. Time for me too.
