chopchop Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 All done for 2017. I've got tons of pics and videos of the whole thing so I'll put together a little YouTube clip when I get back. Sadly, got shoved out of the finals for the Intergalactic comp by people playing well after midnight (qualifying closed at 1:30am) and was too busy playing dollar games against Bowen Kerins and Steve Bowden. Actually won one of them - and lost about 5- the fact Bowen was playing one handed was cool to watch! Dollars covering the WHO looping shot - hence the stance Bowen, Steve and Jessica from The Pinball Podcast. Hanging with the Flippin boys Jack Danger - really nice guy. Bowen and Orin - Orin was the programmer for Sega games and some DE/Sterns. Big list of games such as X files, Batman Forever, Guns and Roses. Had one round of comp with him - good player too. It's a great experience being here. 796 players of great quality and very friendly atmosphere. Jetlag is a killer in the middle of the day, so arrival a couple of days earlier would be helpful. 1000 players scheduled for next year - not sure of the date yet because they are shifting it around a bit. I'd estimate 70% of the games I played I had never played before which is a lot of fun but tricky to compete. Luckily only 50% of the comp is on DMD games (half split between modern and early) so you don't need great tactics for half the time - just keeping the ball in play is all it's about. Great to hang with Brett and Anthony here - Brett making A division was excellent and for Anthony it was his FIRST pinball comp - what a way to start. His son Josh is a fantastic player and would have done well if his jet-lagged brain didn't make him miss a round by falling asleep during the first day. Catch you all back home soon and I'll put a link up for the YouTube thing when I put it together. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopchop Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Emily and I added this to our You Tube page if anyone is interested in Pinburgh next year. Just basically a walk-through of the place and what you need to survive tons of pinball and no sleep! Sorry about the snotty head - that time of season.
