    Tourney Tomorrow At Flippers in NC

    www.flippersarcade.com Just happened to wander into Flippers Variety & Arcade in Grandy, North Carolina (wink wink) to find the place mostly empty of players (4 or so) but full of gleaming pinball machines. Then I noticed that nearly every machine in the place had a credit in it, just waiting...

    Change the way you feel about drains!

    Okay nobody took me seriously when I asked about TPA support for that Brain-Computer interface gizmo so we won't have to bother touching our tablets anymore (even though holding and sharing tablet computing devices is probably a major disease vector.) But I DEMAND that FarSight implement...

    TPA titles in the wild

    I hadn't played a real pin in maybe twenty years when I first downloaded The Pinball Arcade to my phone last summer. I immediately remembered Black Hole, Black Knight, and Gorgar as games I used to see and play while I was in high school (class of '82) and likewise Genie and Firepower are...

    The Best in Show Pins from the 2013 TPF

    They were announcing the Best in Show winners at the Texas Pinball Festival at about 2:35 on Sunday just after they shut the machines down for open play. I actually did hear a few of the winners called (Hercules as best 70's SS? Really??) but I needed to hurry if I wanted to get in more pinball...

    Too Hard?

    Boy have we been had! For months everyone has been talking about what a bear this table was going to be, and it turns out to be a complete pussycat. I completed all the standard goals in just two games played while I was driving and simply batting at a flipper with one thumb every now and then...

    Texas Pinball Festival This Weekend

    Anyone going to this one? “Bobby King and the guys from FarSight Studios who make The Pinball Arcade video game will be coming back for the 2013 Texas Pinball Festival.” “They’ll be showing off their game and their newest tables on all platforms and holding a free tournament with prizes just...

    How hot is your gadget?

    The guys who make Revenge of the Rob-O-Bot also make an interesting app called NenaMark2 that puts your graphics chip to a quick stress test and gives a score, so I downloaded it to see how my two Android devices compare. The first time I tried it on my stock Nexus 7 it ran at 55.3 frames per...

    Android support for the Berlin Brain-Computer Interface?

    When can we expect hardware such as this to be compatible with TPA? (And also please try to implement nudging capabilities similarly actuated.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIIffTH5D-E

    Off to the APE

    I'm heading over to Fort Lauderdale right now for the final day of the Florida APE (Arcade & Pinball Expo!) There appear to be about a dozen TPA games among the hundred or so games listed including three I haven't played yet this year - Bride of Pinbot, Elvira and the Party Monsters, and Taxi...

    PHoF in Vegas Sunday (tomorrow!) Who's in?

    Thinking about jetting off to Sin City in the morning for an emergency pinball fix at the Pinball Hall of Fame. One day hit it and quit it. Anyone interested? They've got FIFTEEN of the tables that are currently in The Pinball Arcade collection, and another half dozen or more tables that should...

    Overlooked Artist

    Which artist has put his touch on the greatest number of titles in the The Pinball Arcade? It really isn't even close. He was directly involved with five (and very soon six) of the current tables in the collection, and just going by the "announced" and "strongly hinted at" categories, that...
