We recorded the show somewhere around three times. We are trying to nail down these technical problems and only angered the tech gods even more! We effed up: I checked LifeUnderGlass.net on my phone for a bit, and only saw t-shirts, but he also has other merch! AND $2 from every shirt sale goes to charity. I was fuzzy on it. SORRYTHANKS.

Here is the email we got from Dave about pinball collection rankings:
I like math and thought the discussion of the ranking of collections was interesting. But I didn’t really like the ranking algorithm. Try it again with my method. Which is (#machines)*( 1 /( sumovermachines( 1/rank)))
So if you have 5 machines that were the top 5 it is
5*(1/(1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5)) = 2.18
And if it was 10-14
5*(1/(1/10 + 1/11 + 1/12 + 1/13 + 1/14))= 11.83
Or like a real collection with some low ranked games
5*(1/(1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/150 + 1/200)) = 2.71
So the low ranked games don’t dominate the result. But if you don’t have any high ranked games you get a much lower ranking.
5(1/(1/150 + 1/200 + 1/210 +1/230 + 1/250)) = 201.8

Mod Review: Sparky Pinball’s Micro Display Mod

Sparky Pinball (https://sparkypinball.com) has joined the mod scene recently and one of their coolest new additions to the hobby has to be the Micro Display Mod. Available for a growing number of games, I gave the Creature From the Black Lagoon MDM a test run, and I like what I’m seeing here. Read on for the full details.

Cost – $119
Install Time – 15 minutes
Install Difficulty – Easy
Fully Reversible Mod? Yes
Solder-Free Installation
No Additional Parts Needed – Complete Kit

For your $119, you get a DK Power Tap for drawing power off of the driver board to power the display, the Micro Display, an SD card with included video files, wiring, zip ties, and detailed installation instructions. For the price, this is a well packaged mod, and extremely simple to install. I spent about 12 minutes from unpacking the box to wrapping up installation.

The end result is quite charming. Yout get looping video of classic drive-in movie clips, including snippets from Creature From the Black Lagoon itself. The border around the screen looks like the Starlight Theater from the game’s art. It’s well executed.

The mod is available for Bally, Williams, and Stern games. More games are being added over time, so check out Sparky Pinball’s site for a list of current games and to follow what is coming out next.
