Jim's been working hard to get all those machines ready (and to clear out the space).  I wish I had time to take advantage of my proximity to gain a "preview" - but every time I visit his basement I get that unnerving feeling that I really need to get going on my own project load! I am thinking it ain't gonna happen for 10 years or so when I can "semi" retire....

I will be donating some Pinball Is Not Dead Dot Com "Professional PinDusters" to the prize pool, for those who were curious....

Crap-weasel !  This is the first Sunday in months that I won't be around.  Guess I'll have to see Jim's magical basement some other time.

If its any constellation, his basement is unfinished, like the majority of ours.  But his taste for game titles is ... Excellent!

It's a big collection but in fact far from the size of a celestial formation.

Jim has very interesting taste in games. He pretty much buys everything that has a plug.

Wow. The playoffs were a lot of fun. The food was good as well. That was a lot of pinball. I made sure that I played every single machine. I'm still dizzy.

Big thanks to Jim and ToPL!

I have to echo everyone thoughts about a really well run tournament! It was nice to meet all of the topl folks many of whom are here at MAACA.

When I walked down into the basement and turned the corner I thought I died and went to pinball heaven. What a lineup indeed. Many of these pins I have only heard about online, read about in a book, etc... I never thought that I would ever get the chance to play a pin that I see being sold in the states for uber money $$$ on kijiji or pinball classifieds.

I now see why they are fantabulous machines. They were clean, they were fast, sometimes really fast, more loops than I could have imagined. I think that when I go to sleep tonight I will dream of pop bumpers. I love the artwork. After 7+ hours of straight pinball, I am sure that I will need to see a specialist for my impending carpal tunnel syndrome.

I like the cool trophies too. Of course I looked at the names on the trophies and would you believe I got paired up with one of the previous champions. He is a super guy and his name was all over that trophy, maybe 5 nameplates, sigh. I got my a$& handed to me on a platter. I learned today that these guys take their pinball very seriously and they are good! Time to raise my game to another level if I want to compete with the big boys!

Actually, rumour has it that you played every machine except one....it's a shame too...'cuz the one machine you didn't play is apparently the best one in the world !!!   Oh well.


And while Jim might have a "decent" set of games, it's not always about quantity.  I for one, was saddened that Jim had not come to fully realize and appreciate the intrinsic value of the early Bally SS pins.  An Eight Ball, Embryon or even a Vector would have certainly taken his collection to the next level !  

On a more serious note, it was an awesome way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
