Here’s a small highlight of what my time was like at @pinballexpoofc. I spent a majority of my time in the Homebrew booth with the @marcopinball team and @fastpinball guys 🤓

@mysterypin3k @irod2001 @imotoarcade @backhandpinball and I worked on capturing as many Homebrews as we could. Those videos should be up on the Marco Pinball Youtube channel soon!

@melplayspinball included a video of me in her panel, wish I could have attended to watch it in person but glad there is a video of it online!

I also got a chance to collab with @teppinball to photograph and film their Fastbreak Tournament. That was a lot of fun to witness and I’ll have a clip out about that in the next few days. 🤓

Lastly I also got to moderate my first panel ever! Thanks to Kristin from @mezelmods and Imoto for believing in me and trusting me with the task. You can watch the talk on YouTube if you missed it. Here’s the link below:

@pinballexpoofc thank you so much! I had the best time last week and got to see so many friends and people I admire in this hobby. It truly is the biggest pinball event of the year!

Big shoutout to @fastpinball and @marcopinball 💖 Yall rock and are amazing! Thank you for letting me collab with you at the show. Homebrew village was incredible!

Make sure you subscribe to Marco’s YouTube channel to check out the homebrew interviews. Might see a handful of familiar faces helping us out on those 😄

Also thanks to everyone that came up to me to take pictures and say hi. Your kind words really do mean a lot 🙏☺️ Loved hearing your stories of your favorite posts and videos. To all of you listening to the Pinball Minority Report with @mysterypin3k and I, it has been so fun hearing your favorite episodes. Yall put such big smiles on my face all weekend!

@xxrxndxvxs and I are now on the road home. So more adventures to come as we wind down from the show 🤓

It took a stop in Nashville to get our hands on NJ’s Bon Jovi! We went to work on the prototype at @gameterminalnash with pinball star @melplayspinball! There will be nothing like @bofpinball Bon Jovi when it lands at @undertheglasspinball in Red Bank, NJ this September!

I made an extremely impromptu trip to Chicago three days ago to be at the @sternpinball reveal of the #Fallout pinball machine. ☢️🎰🎥

They unveiled three versions of the game. When I have my camera in-hand and I’m in front of a pinball machine, they usually become friends. My camera?? It was fed.

The #premiere timeline went from zero to this by the end. #adobe, you have my heart. Thank you for not crashing on me this time.

We got to see friends!! Special appearances by @melplayspinball, @indiearcadewave, @chadburd, and more. These #MediaDay events happen enough now where everyone is becoming familiar faces.

I had a ton of inspiration for the #animation side of the video. I went a little crazy this time.

I didn’t sleep a ton before the video got complete because of the deadline, but, this was basically me when I finished the project.

Time to sleep.

The #youtuber life can be exhausting but I love my job. The video is now live on @retroralph1980. Enjoy. 😎

Spent the last weekend trying to be more in the moment. Putting the phone down. Breathing. Playing pinball. Talking to friends.

Just only a few photos so I can look back at the wonderful people that keep me smiling.

Thank you to everyone that participated and supported a successful long weekend event.
Pinball wouldn't be so wonderful if it wasn't for the beautiful community of people involved

Thank you.
I love you all. 🤘🏽♥️

ESPN OCHO Stern Pro Circuit pinball tournament was a blast. NO SPOILERS here yet, but now that it’s aired, here’s the 4 of us that battled it out. These 3 are some of the kindest, coolest players you’ll see in our hobby, hands down. Night owls - don’t spoil the outcome just yet! For all the dorks that were asleep during our 1:30am tournament. 😉 I’ll post more soon, including the voice from above @deadflip who did a great & gracious job of begging each of us for more control over our shots while we fought the nerves haha
