Wait me too! What was yours??

Omg. Sorry, kiddies

Years of pinball have left them stunted, pale, and nonverbal, scrounging for quarters from the coin return slots of dimly-lit arcades. Shudder.

Team pinball action upstairs at At the Wallace. Filip mugs for the camera while others play pinball, spectate, and chat.

Pinball NYC scoresheet showing our 11-5 victory

Last night, our New York City Flipper Sport Association hosted The Mutants at our home bar, At the Wallace, and picked up an 11-5 win over our perennial rivals. Many of us enjoyed the Monday-only hot dog menu. #pinball

Shout out to Joe Ciaravino for coining TIMA, though I must still point out that it stands for “tongue in my ass” on urban dictionary

Pinball is innocent here

My Monday pinball team, NYCFSA, picked up a strong win at Barcade Brooklyn (my former workplace) though I personally went 0-1. Tuesday, the Butter Ballers had a close loss at Sunshine Laundromat; 1-2 for me but looked cute

At the league that I co-run, we make an announcement that any player can privately notify us that they would prefer not to play any particular title. We make sure they are never put onto it. Several people, including myself, opt out of HP. (We have the luxury of a 65-machine lineup.)
