Humpday Wednesday Pinball #22 – pure, amazing virtual pinball action – at our PGM Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/todd_russell live streaming from 6am – 11am PST (GMT-8) – yes, we’ve added an hour! — and each week we feature multiple tables to chase your personal best scores.
12/13/2023 pinball-related topics to be discussed on today’s Humpday Wednesday Pinball stream, before getting to this week’s featured games:
- Spooky Pinball announces two new machines they plan to make 888 of each: Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Looney Tunes – are you interested in them? Which one?
- My new local vendor buddy, Candyman, tells me his sales rep asked him for a Stern Jaws order and he ordered one of both: Premium and Pro. And yet, Stern hasn’t officially announced Jaws … right?
- Day 7 days of 007 Bond Stern Insider Connected Quest – did/will you earn any or all of the virtual badges? Venom quest running all Dec 2023, Godzilla starts on 12/20 and runs through the end of the year: 12 days of Godzilla
- Future pinball-related PGM article discussion: yes, you’ll hear and even see some future pinball-related articles already written or being worked on behind the busy scenes of playgamesmore.com, including: Stern’s breakdown of corporate/management staff vs. production + plan to add jobs, Pinball music on vinyl at local record store + more!
- ALP4K adding 5th of 16 skin: Attack from Mars – your thoughts and mine
- Paid for Stern Insider Connected All Access ($39.99/year) – checking it out, what does it offer that isn’t available to free IC members?

Here is the fun part, YOU can play, too. All you need is Virtual Pinball and sometimes Future Pinball software and 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, simmply, 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 — this is also listed on every page here at the PGM website. Once we see some scores and activity one of our PGM members will add you to our semi-private Discord 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.
In the meantime, come to the live stream, share your virtual and/or real pinball adventures. Yes, we play real pinball, too. We have a Summer 2023 event happening where you can go out and find real pinball machines to play at surrounding businesses and score chase. We are a friendly group, open to all adult gamers at least 18 years of age. Please stop by the live Twitch stream and say hello to us. Now, let’s flip some pinball!
