It’s that time of the month again. 8:00 PM at Main Street Amusements, $5 gets you into the tournament, and placing in the top 4 will get you some prize $$$$. It is the last IFPA tournament of the year at MSA and will solidify the state rankings heading into the championships that are about 7-8 weeks away. See you all there!

Despite the cold and shitty weather, game malfunctions, and middle of the night hand crafted trophies yesterday’s tournament was still a pretty huge success. Congrats to Tom Vandenberg for winning the “Obviously You’re Not a Golfer” PinGolf Open taking down #17 in the world Jason Werdrick in the finals, with Matt Peace and Bob Twichell finishing tied for 3rd!

The Lebowski Launch was able to take off due to some game issues, so we moved the launch over to a Ghostbusters Premium Launch! Dan Isaacson rode the perfect blend of White Russians into the finals and continued the success for the Lafayette Pinball League players taking down Jason again in the finals for the Ghostbusters Launch Tournament and claiming the prize of the Ringer with dirty whites! Jason finished second and took home the bowling trophy topper bottle opener. Tommy Skinner finished in 3rd winning the Folgers coffee can of Donny’s ashes, and in 4th place was Stuart Nyswonger taking home some Creedence Clearwater Revival tapes from the Dude’s car. Photo unavailable do to complete and utter lack of organization on Tommy’s part at the end of the day.

Highlight of the day was Bob Twichell’s hole in one by reaching Warp 9.9 on Star Trek Premium in the semi-finals! I wish I had been smart enough to record it as it was happening, but regardless it was awesome.

Thanks to everyone who braved the harsh weather and made it out to the tournament!

Games this week are Big Indian, Family Guy, Tri-Zone, Tron LE, and Twilight Zone!

Main Street Amusements at 7:30 PM! See you all there, oh and remember that Family Guy is in selfie league this month so go ahead and play those extra balls!

Hey guys, throwing a little holiday get together at my house Thursday, December 22nd. I’ll cook some food and if others want to bring some side dishes or desserts or whatever to throw down we can have ourselves a nice little gathering. We did this last year and it seemed to be a  good time for all involved, maybe we will get lucky again and the weather will stay warm all the way up until the party and we can have the fire out back again. Anyway all are invited, hope to see many of you there. Invite says 6 PM but feel free to show up anytime after 4 PM for those of you who may have an arcade to open or anything else that makes it easier to come earlier in the day.

Games this week are King of Diamonds, Spanish Eyes, Spider-Man Vault Edition, The Walking Dead, and Twilight Zone.

King of Diamonds, TWD, and TZ are all part of Super-Selfie League this month and therefore extra balls can be played on those machines!

Here are the current standings for November Selfie League, you have until Wednesday night at 11 PM to get scores submitted for the month, and finals will be next Wednesday, December 7th.

League play resumes tomorrow night at 7:30 PM! Games for the evening are below.

Pinsgiving official meal is now my delicious and almost famous chili. It is slightly spicy but shouldn’t kill anyone. I have diet coke, water, some tea and apple cider at the house, lots of liquor as well, but if you want some beer you are going to have to bring it yourself. Feel free to bring some friends or family. Looks like I have Genesis playing relatively well enough, Shadow, Fish Tales, and Lord of the Rings should all be good to go as well. Still trying to get James Bond and Baywatch ready by Wednesday as well. So come hungry and ready to flip.

The day has finally arrived for us to come, to see, and to kick some ass on Ghostbusters Premium down at Main Street Amusements! Over the last several months we have patiently awaited the arrival of one of the most highly anticipated pinball machines to be released in years. The game is designed by John Trudeau, coded by Dwight Sullivan, and artwork done by Zombi Yeti (aka Jeremy Packer)! The game features “magna-slings”, a subway ramp that dips under the playfield, a moving Slimer bash toy, and a very deep rule set. It has the traditional Trudeau flipper gap so get used to some SDTM drains on this one, and be ready for a battle against the ghosts. Grab your tokens and PayRange app and head on down to MSA to do some flippin!
