God I wish writers knew how to capitalize titles.

Oh well here's a great article from The Verge

Awesome! I work nearby so I see myself spending quite a bit of time here.

Alright, I couldn't wait until Friday, so I went today after work. The game list is on their website so I don't need to dive into that. The room is real nice and clean, there are a few flatscreens on the wall with a high score ticker, upcoming pinball events, and footage of the place from local TV.

More importantly, most of the tables look like they were just unboxed and put out for the first time. Everything worked on the tables I played, the lights were bright, the flippers, plungers, bumpers, kickers, all were responsive. Sound on all the tables is kept fairly low. I really, really, really wanted to walk out of there with that White Water table (and ToM, and Whirlwind, and Funhouse, and Metallica, and Scared Straight, and Twilight Zone, and X-Men, and...)

Sorry I didn't get pictures, I had to figure out how to get back to mass transit and make my trains so I was out a few minutes before my hour was up.

Next spring I'm getting me a new motorcycle. Maybe I'll have to hop up that way to check the place out. It's only about 10 hours away
