Yes, it’s Humpday Wednesday #49 – 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 and have as much fun as we can in the process.
- New FX Tournament launch + recap of last week’s leaderboard high scores + play in tournaments created by others
- Pinball-related news, views and pinball happenings
- Labyrinth “coming soon” to Flip Off arcade in Puyallup, WA, so hoping to play that in the near future
- Pinball wizards can face John Wick at ax-throwing joint | Whidbey News-Times (whidbeynewstimes.com) (an LE, too!)
- Pinball playing couple from Massachusetts ranked among the best in the world – CBS Boston (cbsnews.com)
- I joined the ALP4K official FB group because they invited me to do so … not sure how long I will last there, however, as have heard they are heavily modding this community, particular any post of negativity toward Atgames might be removed and possible ban and removal from the group. Bad for business trying to keep things positive or protecting fans? We’ll kick this around and discuss because there are multiple ways to look at it
- Spooky Pinball adds additional manufacturing building, but still not TCM or Looney Tunes nearby on location for us – a bustling pinball area — wondering why(?)
- Chicago Gaming will start producing their Pulp Fiction Bad Mother Flipper Limited Editions in Sept, Oct, Nov 2024
- Flip Off Arcade June 2024 pinball tournament, $15 entrance fee. June Pinball Tournament | Flip OFF! Arcade (flipoffarcade.com) Think I’m going! Going to see if the last three months of practice has made me a little more competition-worthy

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!
