Do farsight employees play the pinball tables on break?

So what happens when the nice people at farsight have to pop themselves out of flow state? I can imagine a game of pinball would be a fine way to get the gears turning in the right direction.

They work with the pins so much that they actually need a break from pinball, heh.

This is what I was gonna say. They probably go back and forth to reference the actual machine behavior while working. I would bet they are sorta sick of the tables in TPA at the very least.

Maybe they should get some upright arcade games!

Big Bear is a beautiful place, I would need to be outside

I dunno... I'm an IT guy who works on computer all day, then go home and play on my computer at night.

Sumez · Nov 7, 2013

Yeah, no way those tables aren't getting played!

I'm the one they write those dummy books for. I might need to take some classes.

I imagine it depends on how their day went. I bet some days they jump right from chair to table, and other days they can't wait to get the hell away from the machines!

Have you ever heard of a pinball fan getting fed up with pinball?

Fed up no Frustrated yes

Sumez · Nov 8, 2013

Of course. Some days you just can't play, and somehow that's often on days with tournaments >_>

I just recently got over a 2 month period of not playing much pinball at all. I was more interested in reading, and playing FFV than in frustrating myself as it seemed that during that time the pinball gods were just laughing at any attempt I made.

I go off and on too, sometimes I just have to get all obsessive about other things.

Mick Morry · Nov 8, 2013

I would be playing the real tables off an on if I was in their shoes. Like Superballs though...I get obsessive about other things, and tend to mix up my activities quite a bit.

Jeff Strong · Nov 8, 2013

Yeah, working on any kind of game all day, everyday, you’re gonna get burnt out on the subject matter now and then, especially after testing the same pins over and over and hearing the same sound effects over and over...even the most hardcore of pinheads would need a break from it.

Naildriver74 · Nov 8, 2013

Well lets hear from one of them

I'd say your right about that. I have been a trim carpenter for more then 35years I love it more than anything but after 8-10 hrs its time for something else
