Just one of many volunteers who worked on it....and my part was nothing compared to what the local pinball/arcade people did up there. I was definitely there, was up Friday morning helping set up the flea market part, but by Saturday I was mostly just hanging around. Took off about 2 in the...

Probably pulling out their people.

Always......but then my brain kicks in.

Not as long as I don't build an addition....only room for 20. [and one of those is a sit down]

Almost no one starts with a new one....Johns Jukes out there would set you up with a decent game for around 5 grand. But the saying goes, "if you buy one, you better make room for 4." Ok, I took it to far and made room for 24, but hey, that meth is a helll of a drug.🙃

It'd not a bad game, lots of D@D modes, but if you know nothing about D@D they go right over your head. That's a premium model so pushing 18 grand Cdn, personally I'd buy an Uncanny X-Men pro model and pocket the extra $7000, or wait in line for the new Evil Dead. Played it twice at shows so...

But, but, no spam??....how will I put myself back to sleep when I wake up in the middle of the night??

If you've ever considered buying a pinball machine it looks like there will be quite a few for sale, right from low cost EM's to the latest greatest new games from Player One.

Good.....be nice if we still had spots where the only sunshine you got was thrown in via buckets.

And its amazing how many small business count on it. I have a buddy who sell led's and roms for pinball machines who can't survive without it, and even a larger place like Pinball Medics in Ottawa has already stopped shipping orders because of all the f#ckery from last time. I don't think...

At least they won't get booed off the ice....not enough people left in the seats to do it.
