You can be pretty sure if it's a nob head decision then it's probably me Daventry has always been an amazing show, but (from my admittedly biased point of view) one of the most complained things over the last few years was that the comp just didn't meet expectation for such a massive show...

That's right Tony. This year the Open comp games are exclusively comp games. Anyone welcome to join the comp of course, and we're probably keeping the same prices as last year even though we're extending that price to 5 game tickets. (And of course scorekeepers will be gifted free tickets...

Just a quick note to confirm that we are going ahead with this, broadly as planned. PAPA style 'unlimited best game', with 20 hours of qualifying and 5 game cards. Top 24 qualify for finals, with top 8 receiving a bye past the first round. Finals is then all in groups of four, best of three...

When I went last summer I bought Universal tickets over there. It was $350 for two days (both parks). They had a promo 'extra three days free', but this was pretty much the cheapest option for a short visit Edit: $350 was the pre-tax price. $1121.43 for three of us to spend two days at...

And if you put www on the link it will work better :cool: https://www.pinballleague.uk/leaguemeet.php?season=17&region=w&meet=2

It's great that we've got so many talented players representing the UK brilliantly. Well done to Josh on the spot at IFPA. Well deserved from what I saw of his performance on the stream over the weekend. Superb play by all involved

@Wayne J is probably a good local option too

I've stayed at quite a few places in NYC over the years. Distrikt on 40th St was a great budget place I stayed in a few years back and still has good reviews https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/nycdsup-distrikt-hotel-new-york-city/ It's right next to the Port Authority Bus Terminal - which is far...

It's impressive how much effort they've put in to making it sound wrong. The action is all synced up nicely to 'authentic pinball sounds'

Some good nominations here. Big Phil definitely deserves to be on that list, for all the reasons Ailsa said already. Also Peter who has done, and continues to do an enormous amount as an ambassador too and should be on the list.

Batman Forever was my first game waay back when. Loved it then, and would definitely have one back again some day.

I had a lump appear on my ear a month or two back. Phoned the doctors on a Thursday, they saw me the same day. Booked me in with a specialist Tuesday, After seeing the specialist she booked me in to have it excised on the Thursday. One week from bringing it to their attention to having it...

Shouldn't be a problem. It has been fantasised about the last couple of years. We've got those room dividers too that might help

Hey all. Just a heads up that for this years 2024 Pinfest Open comp we're planning a few changes that might need some cooperation from the already very generous people that are bringing machines. If you're bringing machines and interested in helping support our competition plans, then please...

Rare as hens teeth. 369 units produced according to ipdb. There was one up North (the one at NLP most likely) but I believe the owner was made an offer he couldn't refuse from abroad.

Home Assistant is what all the cool kids are using these days if you did want to unify all those things into one system. Free & open source. Integrates with thousands of 3rd party things (Reolink, Alexa, Hue, etc etc)

Pete said he can't make it 🤷‍♂️

That's exactly what I was planning to do for an NLP project many years ago, as a follow up to the work I did to get Arduino talking to switch matrix. Start a timer after three switch hits, trigger the tilt at the end Big seven segment display using led strips across the translite showing the...

Hesitant to wade into this, but there were reports of Hyundai IONIQ cars being ever so slightly damaged, like scratches/dents to the battery cover, and then being quoted $60,000 for replacement and being uninsurable otherwise, so basically written off. Broadly I do think EVs are the future...

Anyone else watching Traitors (BBC) ? I got hooked on the first season last year, and ended up watching the US and Australia versions too. Highly recommended, it's basically the party game Mafia/Werewolf with a few twists for TV production I've also been curiously hooked by Double Fine...
