This week we lost another original Star Wars actor, the iconic voice of Darth Vader, James Earl Jones at 93 (RIP). Will be highlighting Star Wars-related stuff during the show today, including a new FX tournament for Star Wars: Darth Vader.
Humpday Wednesday #60
Humpday Wednesday Show #60 – 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
- Beginning work on ranking all of the current 126 Zen Pinball FX tables, starting with several Star Wars tables this week – spreadsheet is made, scored weighted grading by categories: overall fun factor, gameplay flow, toys/mechs, bonuses/video modes, graphics, sound/music, theme. This is a lot of work and going to take some time to complete. Plan to update on progress on Humpday Wednesdays
- Pinball-related news, views and pinball happenings
- Very positive feedback so far on Stern’s new cornerstone: The Uncanny X-Men
- 40th Pinball Expo (Oct 15-19, 2024) drawing closer in Chicago
- The used pin I put a bid on Facebook to buy – what, why, how

################ #######################
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!
