California Extreme 2024!!!

Unless you know the owner, you should not go inside someone's game. Most games have phone numbers on them. Call or text or report it to the front desk.

Personally if I see a game smoking or monitor wigging out, I shut the game off and try to contact the owner with what I saw.

As for people hogging a game, if it's a kid, i probably would let it go. If it was an adult, i would say something like share or give others a chance.

shutting the game off on them is a dick move. Might as well spit on them to get their attention.

I agree. No owner is going to get upset with you turning off a malfunctioning game especially if could be a hazard.

I found the Battlezone with a board issue and bad display, called the number on the game and got his permission to shut it off. If he had not answered I would have still shut it off and left him a message.
 
You should have opened it up and fixed it ... I know you wanted to lol

Dale, amazing work. I wanted to attend the panel, but the soccer game messed that up.
Scott video taped the entire talk and got copy of my home movies detailing progress of getting the board and playfield conversion done.

Especially amazing work by Wade Krause, master pinball cabinet and playfield maker.
He took the donor Time 2000 cabinet down to the bare wood, patched it up, smoothed out all the rough spots, made the stencils for the head and main cabinet, then spray painted the cabinet. Wonderful result.
He also took artwork I found at the Strong Museum (Museum of Play) that was concept art for the playfield plastics and made real plastics light shields out of them. He arrived from Fresno at 6PM Saturday night in time for the Atari pinball talk. I could show people the new plastics at the talk and about 10:30 that night we replaced the Space Rider plastics with Pipeline plastics. Like frosting on the cake.
 
Anyone know how to buy a shirt with free shipping, they said at the show shipping was free because they ran out early. Maybe it was a limited time deal?

Not sure who said that, but that is not true. You can order shirts on the website directly. Tons of colors too. Shipping is not free. We knew we were going to run out so there is no way we would say this.

Shipping was like $5 so I just ordered one the other day. And yes, tons of colors! Thank you for that! I have enough black shirts and white shirts.

Who did the designs anyways?
 
My gf and I were sick come Wednesday but not sure how we got it. There should be hand sanitizer at every game

I came down with the flu (of all things!) Wednesday night. I laid in bed for 4 days trying for quickest recovery.
I'll be coughing for weeks now. Flu in August? WTH....

My GF is a sanitizer freak so she didn't get it. She took Alka Seltzer Cold and Flu Thursday so it might have helped too.
But then she had a severe allergic reaction to that and her eyes almost melted out of her head.

It's really tough making all these sacrifices for the hobby! :ROFLMAO:

Yeah you never can know for sure. There was a lady on the plane one row up and to the left that I heard tell a lady she was sick. At first I thought she was just trying to keep the middle seat open but I did hear her sound sick. My wife was near me the whole trip and never got sick. I did a Covid test and it was positive. Only reason I did the test was cause I was supposed to go teach some classes in CA this past weekend. I ended up talking that hotel into refunding a non-refundable room. I was prepared to tell them I'll be glad to show up and talk to all their staff....lol. I was able to teach over Zoom but I ended up coughing way too much. I'm still not fully over it but the fevers are gone.
