Dead Flip streams final day of Whoa Nellie! gameplay with casual matches and arcade venue chat.
Laura achieved Grand Champion on Whoa Nellie! Big Juicy Melons with 2,066 points on her first play
high confidence · Laura Beeson, grand champion Yeah. Oh. What a monster. First time ever. You're Grand The Champ Barnyard 66 points.
The hosting team recently learned how to properly enter scores on the machine after missing settings previously
high confidence · So we figured out how Tee'd Off put scores on the game. It was just a few settings that we had missed with before.
The machine is being returned to its owner (Jody) after this streaming event
high confidence · So, yes and no. And Owl, yes, we have Tee'd Off give this back, but when we give it back is up in the air. I mean, they're not too crazy about wanting it back right away
Jack Danger regularly visits Chicago-area arcades including Emporium locations in Logan Square and Wicker Park, and Logan Arcade
high confidence · So, probably, it depends on my mood. If I want more of the super huge, little bro-y atmosphere, the Emporium in Logan Square is fun Tee'd Off play some pinball. If I like it a little more crowded, a little more intimate with really loud HES-hop, the Emporium in Wicker Park is cool. But if I want Tee'd Off super chill with really amazing The Games, I'll go Tee'd Off Logan Arcade.
Nick (a community member) owns a Whirlwind pinball machine at his house in Michigan
high confidence · We have a whirlwind, it's just not here. Or Nick has a whirlwind. It's at his house in Michigan.
