Awww man... takes me back to college. We had this machine called Earthshaker in our dorm. Hella fun and when you would get multi-ball, the wholemachine would vibrate. Anyway, long story short, our friend Frank had a habit of smashing his head against the glass whenever he lost a ball. One night, his head went through the glass... they didn't let us have a replacement pinball machine for like a semester.

I love me some pinball. My favorite of all time is Medieval Madness.

>> ^ant:
NSFW for the rape scene.


Seriously... that was drrrrty.

At least it also makes people who just think of this in the 'abstract' understand what it means (i.e. guys who probably wouldn't end up on a pinball machine).

And I thought the I liked pinball. I'm fairly certain that that guy is going to get a TILT shortly.

Rear gunner is my favorite pinball machine!

GOD DAMN YOU AND YOUR RANCID SPERM (shakes fist)..... YOU HAVEN"T SEEN THE LAST OF ME.

Almost as good as counting to twelve with the psychedelic pinball machine!

I'm glad to see there is interest in this subject including wazant's kicking the dead body of pinball generally. I've seen this documentary- I agree with its hype that its about our American economy in general. We have too much stuff. Should I buy a new Stern pinball game that doesn't seem as cool to me as Funhouse, for example- especially comparing the prices ( $4699 vs. $1300 on ebay). People didn't used to have as many choices for stuff to blow money on. Now, we also have too much information via this internet. It sections us all off in these pretend worlds where we're too obsessed about any one subject. People don't go out anymore because we have home entertainment. Also, people sound like little brats when they talk hatefully of each other on these forums because they don't risk getting their faces punched in if they talked smack in person.
Ask yourself, is music better because of mp3s? Is your enjoyment of it better? I miss hearing about new music from my friends instead of Pandora. I really am impressed by Pandora but its old music that I'm hearing. Don't we have to take seriously the gravity that forces us to consume retro fodder because this is a new option brought to us by DVR's and the internet. If I can rummage through the best music of the latter half of the past century, doesn't that make it harder for new music to move a whole nation like the Beatles did? Obviously, we have to accept that there are up and downs in cycles. Music is definitely in a down one. Hannah Montana is the biggest selling live show. Now, I'm 31 so its easy for younger people to discard my perspective as outdated. O.K. but have you condidered that if acts like Beck, The Beastie Boys and whomever from the 90's are already done compared to the Rolling Stones who performed well into their 50's, how do you think My Chemical Romance of your new metal act will fare in only 5 years? If we follow this trend music and everything else will be marketed to children in the womb and we'll all have to tolerate Barney type music "I like you, you like me...." In a similar observation, can we all celebrate Britney Spears going the way of the do do bird? Now, I'm genuinely worried about her life because she has been manufactured used and thrown away by the corporate machine that made her right after two sorority ditz's narrate her suicide on live paparazzi video. This is what I'm talking about. Half the country loves American Idol, the other want to shove a karaoke mic up the fat slob pitifully trying to seduce a girl by singing the Righteous Brother's "You lost that loving feeling". In the 80's my Dad turned me on to Boston. Everybody listened to the same music- even if you grew, evolved and quested for deeper "alternative" acts- you started out at the Beatles or something. Although, I did despise my folks popularizing Santana and that Matchbox 20 dude... Gawd! No.

Anyway, a little more back to topic. The nintendo wii grows affection for the physical play of pinball but pinball will gain no traction unless the tykes taste it and like it. We should appreciate good design because the ancient past is full of it and we are often too ignorant or jaded to pay respect where it is due. Also, don't get too excited about throwing broken stuff away so much that what makes America good is thrown out with its formerly dominant auto industry.

>> ^Sarzy:
Man, Japan is great. When American reality shows get as bizarrely awesome as this, maybe I'll start watching them.

I think "reality" is the last word I'd use to describe a show like this.

Okay I read that as: "Human Pinball Baby. Oil Slip & slide."
