Hard-hitting, soul-shaking, pinball pontification.
Jessica is back from Australia after competing in the ACS and a few other events. Amid all the excitement, Jeff and Jessica realized that they did a very bad job planning for upcoming pinball shows and have to pay for that mistake….literally pay for it.
We also discuss other things. Pinball things.

Sorry for the lame episode title, but a little negative SEO is about all I can do here…
Anyway, Jessica is down in Australia, but that doesn’t stop us from punching out another episode. We recap the Northwest and Denver shows, talk about some upcoming events, vent about the awful FedEx Freight ham handed delivery, and discuss other goings on in pinball. Oh, and face #4 is finally officially announced for Mount Plungemore.

HOOOOLY CRAP. We totally forgot to hype up the Vegas party in a month. Crazy. SORRY NIFTYLEDDOTCOM. Go. To Vegas. February 18th. For our final episode.
This week, Don and Jeff are joined by Jessica DeNardo to talk about new pins and new designers (the latter of which hasn’t happened since we were in middle school in the early 90’s). We also talk about our favorite and least favorite games from a company that ships 99.9% of all pinball machines ever of all time*cough*.
There might possibly be some clips from Joe Zenkus on this episode, but possibly not because we went long as hell and HATE LONG ASS PODCASTS. TIGHT 90, BRO. Maybe next time. Sorry, Joe.

Over the weekend I made the 6 hour drive down to Las Vegas to make a visit to Flipperspiel Wunderland to play in the Pin-Up or Shut-Up Tournament that took place on Saturday, August 17th. Flipperspiel Wunderland is located a few miles off of the main strip, putting it near a bunch of hotels, but not in a crowded area of town.
Upon entering, I found a row of EMs, some newer DMDs, a short row of classic SS games, and arcade games that peppered the spaces in between. The atmosphere was really laid back, and for the $10 entry fee, I got to play in the tournament and enjoy the rest of the games on the floor on free play as well as free pizza and drinks for the night. The tournament games included: Tron Pro, Striker Xtreme, Metallica Pro, Iron Man, and Genie. The turnout ended up being a bit smaller than expected, but it was still a good time and the tournament’s sponsor, Nifty LED brought their bulbs along and offered them at discount pricing.
If you’re passing through Vegas, you should definitely drop in on Flipperspiel Wunderland if they’re open. There’s a nice mix of modern and classic pinball machines in there, and everything is playing in good condition. I only had my cell phone to grab pics of the place, and I only captured about 1/2 of the machines here. Thanks to the Flipperspiel Wunderland and Nifty LED guys for putting on the event. I’ll be back again.
