Sometimes things really sneak up on me. It’s time for the ninth season of the Jersey Pinball Association PinGolf Tournament. The prize pool has been reset and we are ready to build a new one for Spring 2013.
If you are an arcade gamer and need a smile today, look no further. They did an outstanding job with this place. A bit of my faith in humanity has been restored. It’s sorely needed after hearing another round of people saying that gaming is the source of the world’s ills.
The museum will close March 3, 2013. I hope it will end up being just another relocation. Read their Public Closing Notice here.
Their goal is to build “an entirely custom classic pinball arcade. All analog everything. Hand painted, hand built, hands on.”
This video is PG-13+. By the way, you are welcome for this introduction to what will be your new favorite YouTube channel.
This game basically asks you one simple question. Can you can make the right ramp shot with regularity? Are you accurate enough to repeatedly hit a shot that is about 1.5 times the diameter of the pinball with force and speed? Everything else is incidental on the way to making more right ramp shots to lock the balls for Multiball.
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to feed your addiction. Apparently, you must also rap about it.
I’ve been to Bill Disney’s place many times to play in his monthly tournaments so I was pleasantly surprised to see his place featured in the video.
I love the editing on this piece. The pinball machines are cool too. Shot by Micah Moore, Rick Burnett and Blake Faucette. Edited by Blake Faucette. Filmed at Lost Ark Video Games in Greensboro, NC.
With the recent success of the Star Trek: The Next Generation Kickstarter campaign, The Pinball Arcade has announced that they will also bring Scared Stiff and Elivra and the Party Monsters to the Pinball Arcade platform.
Those of us who noticed or participated in the Kickstarter for Twilight Zone are not surprised at this. However, it is official that FarSight Studios is doing a Kickstarter for Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Sure, they may be crazy enough to do this. Crazy like a fox. This place is about three hours away from me and I am still thinking about going to it.
