Ryan McQuaid (YouTube: McSquidification) records a submission for the upcoming Summer Games Done Quick speedrunning event.
I hope we see this on the stage at Summer Games Done Quick with Game Designer Scott Danesi “on the couch” for commentary.
Hear about Jason’s pinball journey starting at a young age in the Jersey Pinball Association (shout-out!), and what it took to become the top-ranked Player. How much does he practice? What does he know about the rules of the games? How does he balance school life and pinball life … and more.
…
And perhaps the most important question, does he like Raven?
One of the banes of an arcade operator, this evolved form of perpetrator can call on others to rifle through coin slots.

Here is a time when I could definitely say I was “LOCKED IN” or “IN THE ZONE” while playing pinball. At District 82 Arcade, it’s me vs. Police Force with the “TAKE HIGHEST SCORE” challenge set to 8 ramps in a row. Also, JACKPOT is lit. 8 consecutive ramps needed to win the game.

I miss the time back in the day when I didn’t care if a fire engine drove through a wall while was playing. I’ve heard that you tend to get nervous about things you care about. Maybe I care about this too much.

I reinstalled a podcatcher app, and Slam Tilt with Bruce Nightingale and Ron Hallett was the pinball podcast I added back on my list of subscriptions. I am pleased to say this episode of Slam Tilt did not make me sad. 🙂 By the way, have a nice time on that cruise, Bruce.
Tilt Trek visits the showroom of recently minted Stern Dealer / Distributor, Lock Is Lit Pinball, to discuss the process of becoming one. Learn what he needed to do to get started and a few numbers you need to have handled to get it done. That’s right … a couple of real-world numbers are used in this conversation.
With double-barreled action, this creature searches for coins with twice the efficiency.
“Not so fast, my friend!”
It’s a tutorial on my second favorite pinball game, Twilight Zone! What?! A stop-and-go game is among my favorite pinball games in the whole wide world?! Blasphemy!
The Tournament Director is a vital part of the competitive pinball community. Those who choose to take on the mantle of TD realize they must show patience, consistency, and stoicism. This card doesn’t have much to do with those qualities, though.
