Going to do something a little different today for Humpday #44. Will not be streaming from the location where we’ve been the last 9 Wednesdays. Was planning to do something way different, but it’s raining and that’s going to ruin those plans … so, working on what to do as this is written and published. The stream is planned to go live at 6am as normal, but bear with it, because it may not be completely what we’ve done recently, anyway.
Humpday Wednesday #44 – new FX Tournament + playing games at our PGM Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/playgamesmoredotcom LIVE streaming from 6am – 11am PST (GMT-8). We get you over the hump of the week!
- New FX games to play for the first time: Soccer, Universal TV Classics (Xena and Battlestar Gallactica first play, have already played Knight Rider and Pacific Rim)
- New FX Tournament launched + recap of last week’s leaderboard high scores + play in tournaments created by others
- Modern pinball games not played yet in order from most want to play to least:
- John Wick (Stern 2024)
- Labyrinth
- Funhouse Remake
- Queen
- Texas Chainsaw Massacre
- Looney Tunes
- P3 modules: Princess Bride (The Princess Bride Sets New Pricing High for P3 Module Pricing: $1,500 Deposit, $5,000 for LE, $3,750 for Standard) & Final Resistance (Scott Danesi)
- Pinball-related news — not sure how much we’ll be digging in on this for today’s “special” show

You can search for “Humpday” here at PGM and find details on all 24 episodes of Season 1 Pinball (virtual) + play and enter scores for any/all of the virtual pinball games we played on stream (and several not featured)
#######################################
In addition to what’s mentioned above, YOU can play, too. Some of our virtual pinball require Visual Pinball and Future Pinball software as well as the table files which are all free to download.
There is a spreadsheet where we share where to acquire the necessary pinball table files linked on every page at this blog and also here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iRcwa4znh8FL-0DdME5XNcQCM-CTjeTdPnfNcTrh9-E/edit?usp=sharing. Be sure to use default settings for all tables, unless otherwise noted and make sure you’re playing the version listed in the yellow highlight at the top of our iScored leaderboard page. Then, simply, play the game and try and beat your personal best. Once you’ve done so, share the score.
You can share on our PGM iScored here: https://www.iscored.info/?mode=public&user=Playgamesmore. Once we see some scores and activity one of our PGM members will add you to our semi-private Discord (if we don’t, then contact us and ask) where we score chase all kinds of different games: arcade games, modern Steam games, we stream games, play co-op and more. As of this writing we’re also score chasing arcade games and recapping them on Saturday mornings.
We are a friendly group, open to all adult gamers at least 18 years of age and look forward to seeing your scores! Game on, everybody!
