Summary

With No Fear going out the door, we wanted to get FarSight back on to talk with us about all things Digital Pinball.

As you can see from the show notes, nary a thing is left untouched. What was most interesting was to hear about what Mike actually does as Community Manager.

So sit down, and enjoy the chat.

And buy a T-shirt. C’mon, you know you want to.

I think I'd pay cash money for a transcript of this one... will someone tell me if the Farsight guy has anything interesting/new to say?

 

[jaredmorgs]

How about just listen to it.

 

[switch3flip]

Towards the end of the podcast they were talking about when winter is coming...

 

[jaredmorgs]

There are timing markers for a reason. Use them to jump to the info you want to hear.

 

[Locksley]

I love the timing markers!
Also interesting to see you all; SYT do have some likeness to Rob Halford and I mean that in a good way, or maybe it is the beard...

Lets just get that Judge Dredd out before X-mas!

You can't see it, but I always record while wearing leather ass-less chaps too.

 

[Johni3w6]

Agree with the fixing of the 3d pop out.

Are we still talking about ass-less chaps?

 

[Spork98765]

If they weren't ass-less they would be pants, hence all chaps are ass-less leather or not.

Thanks, Somebody had to say it.

I dunno... my religion won't allow me to wear ass-less garments, so I cut the asses out of sweatpants and glue them on my chaps. I still call them chaps but I could be wrong. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Kolchak357]

Ass-less chaps implies your not wearing anything under them.
Just chaps implies an undergarment (jeans or leather?).
That's how I see it.

That wouldn't make the chaps ass-less then :/ If you had no under garments and wore chaps then the chaps would be full of ass instead of, say, pants.

 

[Kolchak357]

Makes sense or not, that's how I see it ymmv.

 

[jaredmorgs]

G'day chaps, what's happening?

 

[MontanaFrank]

You are perfectly correct, Kolchak. Not that I've had any experience in wearing chaps assless, I liked mine over my 501's. I've known many acquaintances in my life who wore their chaps ass-less. May all of them rest-in-peace.

 

[Kolchak357]

Sounds chilly without the 501's.

 

[Snorzel]

Nice! Thank you Blacade guys and Mike. Great to get the info.

Happy holidays all my fellow pinball players and especially to the peps at farsight, take your break you have earned it imo. If we miss our table for this month we still have tons of great ones to choose from and the season pass will fill out one way or another.
