Howdy y'all!

We are excited to be heading off to the Texas Pinball Festival in Dallas.

We'll have a cool new feature for PS3 and something new on iPad to show off along with all of the tables on all of the current platforms.

While we're there, we will also be running some contests! We will have Cactus Canyon up and running on most of the devices and consoles. The top few players each day will get an exclusive Pinball Arcade Cactus Canyon T-shirt!

There will be four chances to earn your shirt. The first contest will run from 6 pm to Midnight. The second one will run on Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm, and another one from 6 to midnight. The final chance to win will be on Sunday from 10 am to 1 pm. Everyone at the show is welcome to join! The contests are free and open to all!

Our booth will be right next to the registration area! Can’t miss us!

Come on to Texas and have a ball!

What's the new thing for the iPad I wonder?

Love to get one of those shirts.

Right? I would totally rock a shirt! Would love to see what this looks like.

I think it's been discussed before but doing t-shirts, mugs, mousepads, etc is something that can easily generate revenue and has NO Risk. I had to make shirts for my dodgeball team a couple years ago. I talked to the printer and had some medium quality shirts selected with two sided printing and 5 colors. The actual cost for about 15 shirts was only like 11 or 12 bucks a piece. You can go to a local printer and basically tell them what you want and they will quote a price which generallly is based on quantity. If they took pre-orders, they would already have x amount sold and could make the order at some number above that. That way you don't even take much or any risk at all. Pure profit. Would be a great kickstarter prize too. Not to mention the free publicity.

Totally agree. Would love to see some merch. I wonder if it has something to do with the licensing if it's got one of the pins on it.

This is a horrible picture, but I am to lazy to put on a good one Just to tease a little bit ;-)

That is the back side. The Front has the the Farsight Logo on it

 

[Pinballwiz45b]

I want one!!!

 

[dtown8532]

Yea! Where can I get one of these fine products?

At Karl's house just use a crowbar on his front door , and it's yours .

 

[karl]

Can't we just be friends? Arrrrrgghhh. No time for tea. Blast those intruders. Save the T-Shirt

 

[fenderbendr]

"I'd buy that for a dollar!"

 

[karl]

Going once...... Naaahh! I'll keep it

 

[brakel]

I doubt that their current licensing deal for making pinball tables into a video game includes t-shirts.

 

[shutyertrap]

Nope, the licensing deal for sure does not allow them to put things on t-shirts. Those TZ tees, they're really hoping to not get in trouble with! I suggested they make FarSight / TPA shirts available for purchase. Norman joked that there is a reason they don't do physical products anymore. Now if someone wanted to deal with all the hassles of producing and shipping shirts but letting FarSight profit from it, that they would maybe consider!

If I wasn't currently travelling for work I would probably be all about it. Especially as I lived not too far from Big Bear until October... Maybe once I get settled but I am hoping to permanently leave Cali.

 

[karl]

I am counting on meaty report from anyone able to be in Texas this weekend. Have fun whoever you are

Have they never heard of Cafepress?

[shutyertrap]

Ya know, once they get their new website up that they can sell directly from, maybe then the merch conversation will become more real.

 

[androidlove]

I just got the table updates for the Kindle Fire. I can now see what the free table is. However, after I score high, it tells me I need to purchase it to go further.

The sale tables are now showing half off. But, when I go to purchase them, they are the regular price.

 

[Fungi]

Any word on the "something new on iPad"?
