Hey guys, sorry the holiday messed up my schedule. Hope everyone had a great Labor Day and got some rest and relaxation! Just wanted to send everyone quick reminder that we have week 5 of our Fall Season tomorrow night @ 7:30!

Games are South Park, The Walking Dead Premium, Theatre of Magic, Tron Le, and Twilight Zone.

Many of you have probably already heard that Stern Pinball’s next title was announced earlier this week, and even though we are still waiting for the Ghostbusters Premium to arrive at Main Street Amusements that doesn’t mean we can’t get excited about a different game as well. As has become typical we remain spoiled by the best pinball arcade owner in the country Dan St. John, as he already shared to Main Street Amusement’s facebook page that he has put a deposit down to insure that we will always be flippin on the latest and greatest games available in Lafayette. Be sure to thank Dan when you see him.

There isn’t a ton of information available for the title yet, but the biggest revelation so far will be the inclusion of a LCD screen for the display as we say goodbye to the era of DMD games. There will also be a second LCD display incorporated with the playfield as we have seen in Wrestlemania LE and Ghostbusters Premium/LE. The designer is George Gomez who is famous for Lord of the Rings and Monster Bash amongst other titles, and the coder is Lyman Sheats largely recognized as the greatest coder in pinball with titles to his credit recently including AC/DC, Metallica, and The Walking Dead. Games are expected to start shipping in November but with Stern’s recent delays I’m not going to hold my breath, regardless I’m looking forward to seeing more details get revealed on the game and can’t wait to drop some tokens or tap some PayRange screens to put some time on this machine.

If you are dying to play it and don’t want to wait for Dan’s to arrive at MSA, get yourself a ticket to Pinball Expo in Chicago this October, and also purchase a ticket to Stern’s 30th anniversary party where I am sure they will have the machine playable in addition to Adam West and other actors from the original show who are providing voice callouts for the game. The game is a collaboration between Stern and KaPow Pinball and celebrates the 50th anniversary of the original Batman TV Show as well as Stern’s 30th anniversary. I wouldn’t be terribly surprised to see one more Stern title announced in late December, but for now it looks like this may be the last major announcement from them for 2016. Hopefully they get their assembly line back on track and games into locations and peoples homes.

Hey guys and gals, I know we just finished up August Selfie League Qualifying, but it’s September 1st, so here are the games you need to be playing this month! Don’t forget the finals for August are next Wednesday at 7:30 PM, any questions get ahold of me!

Hey guys, another nice night for attendance! Sorry about missing the week before, it was good to be back last night, if only I had played better. Anyway Matt and Dan St. John had the dominant performances of the night coming away with 18 & 17 points respectively, while Darcy and Dan Isaacson were able to come away with the leads in their groups as well.

We are now at the halfway point of the season and as you will see in the standings your two lowest weeks have now been dropped from your overall season score. This will continue to the conclusion of week 8, and your final season point total will be composed of just your 6 best weeks.

Here are the standings!

Week 5 is next Tuesday, September 6th and we are going all modern for a night. Games are South Park, The Walking Dead Premium, Theatre of Magic, Tron LE, and Twilight Zone!

Lastly don’t forget tonight is the absolute last chance to improve any of  your selfie league scores and finals will be held next Wednesday, September 7th at 7:30 PM! All scores have been approved and updated so here are the standings unless someone makes a run tonight!

HEY! Dan informed me last night that Strikes and Spares is out on location which I had forgotten, it will be replaced with FIRE! So tonight is Metallica, Revenge from Mars, Star Trek, Terminator 2, and FIRE! See everyone at 7:30!

Just a quick reminder that we have week 4 of Fall season tomorrow! Games this week are Metallica, Star Trek Premium, Revenge from Mars, Terminator 2, and Fire!

Also you only have 3 more nights to go and improve those Super Selfie League Scores! So get on down to MSA, or hang around after league and put up some big ones. Caution Matt may have broken Spider-Man with his 370+ million point game! Finals for this month’s Selfie League will be held on Wednesday, September 7th! See everyone tomorrow night!

Don’t forget to get on down to MSA tonight for some league actions! Games are listed below! 7:30 start time, I will be arriving right around then but doors open to get in some practice at 7:00! See you all there!
