It’s fun! I think pinball people probably have the advantage versus the general public. You may recall seeing this pinball shooter skill game at ReplayFX (contained raffle tickets as prizes) and in my coverage of Todd MacCulloch’s arcade collection. Yo Tommy! Who needs Google Maps when you’ve got a Red Zone game at the front door? Pretty sure I had the right address. Glad I did! Thanks to my classmates and Nic for making it fun.Ĭhicago visit #2 -> Tommy Skinner ( Tsskinne) and Main Street Amusements in Lafayette, IN In reality, everyone was awesome! The first time I saw information regarding the event was last Friday, and decided to sign up. There were some other things, but I don't want to sound like I'm making excuses.Īnd at the risk of sounding petty and paranoid, I think there may have been some cheating going on, and I felt people were out to get me. I find those qualities to be highly annoying. Not there Saturday, mysteriously appears on Sunday and brought by. I would suggest tighter security at future events. Just goes to show you that you never really know someone. In my defense I just want to say that I had blisters on the fingers of my left hand, some knee pain on my right side causing me to stand at a slight angle, and a double ear infection creating an equilibrium problem.Īlso, (and you'll find this shocking), but on at least three occasions Karen bumped my elbow when I was attempting a shot. I wasn't able to stick around Sunday to see the end of the "challenge", but I'm assuming that I was low score. Incredible artwork, deep ruleset, exciting game play. I'm proud to say that I am now a Kool-Aid drinking, card carrying member of the Volta EM army (gang, cartel, brownie troop - whatever).Ĭollege Queens. I too have some comments about the class last weekend in Chicago.

Looking forward your update upon your return to Texas! Hope you had fun Nick during your 3 days in the western burbs of Chicago. I would like to thank my boss and the owner of Hawk Ford/Hawk Auto Group for allowing me to host the class in our Downers Grove warehouse. It was great meeting Dave, Dan, Kathy & Israel, Dahle & Nick (yes-2 Nicks were in attendance). Hope Dave gets that Orbit up and running! This is his thread and i'll let him post them when he gets back form his trip. I took a bunch of pics and sent them to Nick. Would love to have a copy if at all possible.
Don't forget rulesets on EM's can be complicated too!ĭahle- I saw you taking notes- any chance you transcribed them? My phone didn't save the notes I was taking with it. The pace of the conversation was pretty quick relative to a "chat/text" environmentīut most of all a stream would have kept me from discovering the somewhat magical physical feel of EM machines.Ī fantastic experience, and I learned a ton.I'd highly recommend attending if you are remotely interested. Everyone was contributing something to moving towards a solution.I'd think that'd make audio tough. The class was constantly moving around the machine, often with a limited view. It would be great to capture the interactive nature of Nic's class in a streaming environment.but it would seem quite challenging to me.Ī couple of key things I'd thing would be very challenging to address in a stream: Not to mention how they were kept in really excellent shape (Pioneer especially!) Thanks to all who brought games and the great stories that came with them. Main logic/state retention and how they control the game Scoring "Motor" (I think of it as an iterator) and demystifying its function Scoring reels and how they function (how to rebuild/adjust) Player Reel's "stepper" and how it functions in the game's

Relays/Switches and how to rebuild/adjust them These were great to cover all of the main EM components (I'm sure I'll get terms wrong here) Pioneer was failing to keep proper scoring in a myriad of ways Orbit was kicking out a ball after the last ball drained (effectively an extra ball) Saturday we had some really interesting issues to cover, the most memorable: Saturday was amazing.I'm new to pinball and EM's and keep falling deeper into fun of all of Pinball's aspects.
Quoted from Dah-le:Nic thanks again for an awesome class this past weekend.wish I'd been able to attend both days.
