Skill Shot Pincast

Zoinks! After long-awaited anticipation, we get Andrew W.K. on the show to talk pinball and life at large! We cover biking between arcades in Ann Arbor, the magic of Pat Lawlor games, and confirm that he's an ordained minister and will totally marry my friends Stan and Heather.

Brad and Gordon join us again for another (belated) Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show recap! We play another mutation of "Name That Game" and talk about whatever we feel like and we had a good time and I hope that means you too and if not, thanks for listening anyway!

We bring back Michael Adcock to answer listener questions, and we also play a brand new game that probably translates a lot better visually than aurally!

Dan Burfield of Tiltcycle (http://tiltcycle.com/)talks to us about his radical repurposed pinball art and wares, the city of Pittsburgh and Midwest set locations of classic zombie flicks!

Dan Halligan returns to preview the 10th Annual Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show in Tacoma this weekend (June 9-11)! We also build an imaginary arcade.

Get Dialed In with our Pincast Party recap, Kayla's take on Jersey Jack's latest, the latest on issue 47, sticker and pin ups and downs, Monday Night Pinball underdog triumphs, and a new Skill Shot Showcase (by request) on NBA Fastbreak! We also have a long overdue Name that Game with a brand new spin. Gadzooks!

We sit down with Jack Danger of Dead Flip, who is pretty darn good with a didgeridoo!

Writer/editor/producer and all-around cool dude Seth Porges joins us for a lively and comprehensive conversation on pinball in America and abroad, its legal and moral journey throughout history, moving machines up five flights of stairs, and playing nothing but video modes. Stay 'til the end to hear the song Wesley Willis wrote about Seth!

We revisit some findings from our previous episode with our friend Michael Adcock, who dives deep on how tournament data can map out all sorts of things -- but especially team strategies! It's hard to sum this one up, because we hit on quite a lot. Set aside 90 minutes and come exploring with us!

Phew! As Graham recovers from his broken ankle, we've received a zillion pinjury stories from all of you -- and share them back at you! This episode is 10 days late and full of, um, unique soundscape design. Sorry and/or you're welcome! Back on track in the weeks ahead, with a Name that Game and everything.

It's 2017, and everything's in swing!...except for Graham's left leg. Kayla gives the L.A. Report, we prepare for new seasons of Monday Night Pinball and Seattle Pinball League, and explore the wide, wobbly world of pinjuries. So many people wrote in with great stories as or after we recorded episode 44, so we'll have to tackle even more on episode 45! Keep on flippin' in the free world.

Pardon for the tardiness! A busted ankle really throws a wrench in the works. Kayla and Graham look back on their 100 Game Equation competition and spend some time with the Pincast mailbag. Start your own 100GE (or not) and write in to us at skillshotpincast@gmail.com (or not)!

Who knows? The Shadow knows. And who knows the Shadow? We nose through the Shadow ruleset and whatever else intersects with our knowledge and experience of this classic game. Thanks for listening this year! See you in 2017...

We parse and sift oodles of numbers from the IFPA Rankings by gender, age, and and nationality, and report and react to our findings. Join us for this deeply unscientific stat-blasted episode!

On our 40th episode, Danny Noonan of Accidents on Purpose podcast shares Washington State's personal history of pinball prohibition, featuring the rise and fall of Scoop Jackson! Zines, scenes, and all kinds of other things -- this is a great discussion you don't want to miss.

Our friend Jordan Semrow returns to give us the exciting scoop from his trip to the Pinball Expo in Chicago, where three new and upcoming games were on display: Stern's Batman '66, Jersey Jack's Dialed In, and Heighway Pinball's Alien!

On this episode, we dive deep into the team cultures of Monday Night Pinball with our friend Dwayne Collins, and bring back Name that Game for another rousing round!

On our third installment of the Skill Shot Showcase, we discuss the unique and beloved Cirqus Voltaire as well as the latest Popadiuk news (Houdini!). If you're listening to this the day it drops, make sure to come out to the 3rd anniversary of Babes in Pinland tomorrow night (Thursday, October 6)!

LA's Paul Dreyer joins us to talk about his pinball travels, game show statistics, the LA pinball league, and he hosts a brand new game of his own devising pitting Kayla and Graham against each other in a quarter-stakes competition!

On our second Skill Shot Showcase, Graham and Kayla explore the ins and outs of the Addams Family! We tour the mansion, discuss 2nd Place Andy’s expert advice, and praise the late, great Raul Julia. Look everyone, we don’t have guests!
