    Not a goddamn thing. If you asked me to find a machine on location, the closest place I know for sure has one is 40 minutes away.

    Quoted from Euchrid:

    Yeah, the possible irony has not been lost on me, for sure. I guess I find that pinball is physical and cerebral where most video games are not. Pinball requires some, albeit small, level of physical movement that vids don't. Call me weird, but I'm also the parent who makes my kids exercise, read literature and have never given them soda in their lives....

    If you're really honest with yourself, are you just letting them play pinball because you like it? There are plenty of video games that require a bunch more thought than pinball. Kids are a weird deal. We have all the consoles, plus a bunch of full sized video games and they don't really care about any of it. My daughter plays Sim City on her iPod.
