I assume they were only ba...

I've seen plenty of edumacational games and I'm always delighted to explore how they surreptitiously teach people as they play a game. But this is the first time I've played a edu-pinbal game. Early on in the touring Grossology exhibit there are two Gas Attack Pinball machines. The game appears to b...

I went bowling with a couple friends from work Friday night, and discovered that Pinz in Studio City may have a stupid name, may be expensive, and may be too full of hipsters and wannabe hipsters, but they make up for all that by having se...

I recently acquired a new pinball machine. Got it in unrestored condition for a decent price; low enough that I could make my money back and then some by parting it out. Don’t want to do that, though, as it is always sad to see something of limited production be destroyed. Specifically, a Will...
