*Wisconsin Pinball

I am on the fence with Pinside. I like the technical resources and that it is usually the first place that pinball news gets posted, though the news is usually second hand lately since a lot of the industry folks have left. I also like the discussion about the various shows. My main issue is the amo...

It was pretty obvious that the pinball mecca that is Madison, WI would be chosen as the US testing grounds for Alien.

I like the idea of being able to see scores during the event. It does take away some of the mystery of whether your scores are good or not, but that wasn't really there in the first place since high scores are displayed on the machines. I think it will generate more plays since you will be able to s...

Great to hear! I look forward to checking out that and GoT this evening.

There is one listed on the Milwaukee CL.

I had a great time at Mad Rollin last year. The tournament format for both Pingolf and Pinbrawl seemed to run efficiently. I liked having the side competition since that gave those of us who got knocked out of the tournaments early something to do in the meantime. Perhaps more of that would be nice,...

Thanks for all the responses. When you say brewery, what do you mean? The reason I ask is if you are crushing grains in the basement, the dust will get everywhere. The problem with that is that dust is potentially infectious to your fermenting beers. I actually have created some pretty good sours by...

I am planning to finish my basement this year and I have a large room planned for a gameroom/brewery. My contractor recommended luxury vinyl tile since it is easy to clean and maintain, but I thought I'd ask what people on here use for their gamerooms. What do you recommend?

another great night last night! BIG thanks for all whom came out. Nice to meet Charlie/ Brewninja finally. Also nice to see Moe and Trevor back for more good times! Congrats to Hilton on the win! TWD was not pulling any punches last night. Also it was interesting seeing people's strategies for play...

I'm in, sounds fun.

Got my scores for the Schwoegler's machines last night. Getaway and AMH still kick my ass. In retrospect I probably should have gone to AltBrew instead given my holiday schedule. Oh well, I'll just have to get those scores on New Years Eve. Anyone else planning to do the same thing?

Had a great time at Schwoegler's with some friends last night and managed to put this score up.



One down, 11 to go.

Grats on the new location! IM and DM are both games that I very much enjoyed trying out at MGC this year. DM is on my shortlist of machines to get someday, but in the meantime I'll just put a bunch of quarters into this one. Also thumbs up for having an event on Thursdays since that day works best w...

Looks nice, but this is the one machine that my wife will not allow in our house (can't have anything Episode 1 related). Good luck with the sale.

Congrats on the sale. I was thinking an EM would be fun to learn and work on and was tempted by this one. Oh well, maybe next time.
