WPPR, WPPR, Party time, excellent! WPPR, WPPR, Party time, excellent! What's up everybody? Welcome to episode 72 of the Tucsonpinballpodcast. Welcome to Wayne's World. So ZapCon is coming up here soon. ZapCon has actually started right now actually if you're a contributor. You have been loading in either yesterday or today. And yeah, so that's that's kind of the next biggest Arizona tournament thing going on, but it's not just tournament. Obviously, it's it's our local I mean local as in going from Tucson to Phoenix so local enough, but it's our in state convention. It's arcade and pinball show and it didn't happen last year and it's back this year and obviously very excited for that. The game list is been looking pretty good. It's been shaping up pretty nicely. There's A couple nice surprises on that one that I don't know that I even knew was available locally. But there's a couple games that I'm looking forward to. So there's that. There's also the tournament which did okay last year. Did not do very well in classics at all. And then I think it was Grand Prix that they were kind of struggling with. They revived it and then it went out and then they revived it and then it went out. And then it went out again and I think they just kind of like, Nope, sorry. And then I was like, wait, I haven't played that one yet, so I can't qualify. That's a bummer. So anyways, um, and it wasn't going to matter cause I wasn't going to qualify anyways. Cause I couldn't get past the doormat that Paragon left me, let alone get into the front door of, of actually trying to find some points. So Paragon was definitely, uh, keeping me out of any contention for anything on classics last year. Um, Maine was fun. Maine mist counts Person Appreciper Brendan Bown, Steve Thus datasets Thank you. TimPeople Your mais Bon I didn't do very good at all. And it took me a little, a little time to kind of sit down and say, okay, what, what did I struggle with? I mean, I've struggled finding points, but what, what was kind of the problem? And I kind of decided that it was mostly because I'd been not really practicing much, which is kind of funny. Nor was I kind of, like in the headspace of like, oh, hey, this is kind ofientist What happens to us if we lose a руб What happens to us if we lose aHerny Yes, that's what I didn't do and the results are not overly shocking but the good news about hindsight is you can use it to your advantage and maybe learn a few lessons so let's learn a few lessons shall we? So this is the third I know I've brought this up before this is the third star SPF that's ever happened. This is the first one I've been able to attend to first two I missed for two very unfortunate reasons but real life is sometimes A lot more important than pinball. And so yeah, so this is the first one I went to. And the first the very first one was was in a hotel, in a ball hallway, something or other, a big open room, and they had some streaming video setup. So I kind of got an idea for what the layout was. And then last year, they didn't do that, probably because moving a whole lot of games is quite a chore. And that's, you know, the number of games that they were This Week in Pinball, Franchi), Franchi, JohnPopadiuk, Tanyo Klyce, JohnPopadiuk, tilt pendulum or tilt mechanismлей propre utterly offipol etwa a barrack Iverres though the advisors and蘭nberg and in one of his organizations his take-over that going on the but it's느� het ber消uit extwere has b surveut Campest here tangnt we hav depje kreative步j t'sgeioht border kdea هoomuhg plicz无 Давай è micloё á ngopiä cas multiplied b 시�ئ�h Û gradually in theopodope Stage nei m chord FastPas éisieważ accent ân � ніŭ aŌõctne eleì æitiesšěk æ tribute ewš é�在 wēr kingdom Let's get creative. So, been there, done that. But you know, it was definitely fun. I played games in rooms that I have never seen the doors open to before. And so now I, that curiosity has been answered. Actually, my first round was in the back left corner in a room that I mean, I've seen there's a big fan that's always sitting there. It's the two, it's a double door with, you know, glass windows like you can look through if you really want to, but I think they've got posters up and whatever. But yeah, my first round was actually in that room. So that was kind of cool. Definitely interesting to see the space kind of shifted and transformed to accommodate a pinball only weekend and, you know, just try to try to get everybody in there. And, you know, honestly, it wasn't like it was definitely packed. And there's still some choke points. But, you know, the space is the space and you may do with what it was, but I was very shocked to see how well that number of people fit into that space once everybody We'll be attempting to make every single one of those possible. So anyway, so my first problem was I did not practice a whole lot. And it's like, well, how do you, how do you practice for an event that has lots of games? Right. It's like, I don't have a copy of each one of those games at home or, you know, on location locally to play. So I'm like, well, how do you, how do you practice for an event that has lots of games? Right. light Под entender Trans typed with Google Transcript You know, so like you can't post pass on classic valleys. I mean you can but it's not the most elegant looking thing. It tends to be a an accident then rather than an intentional thing but you know but like if you're gonna play classic valleys like we have those you know go play Dolly Parton and practice the tap passes and you know just there's there's certain aspects that carry over game to game but then each game has its own unique rules so you know you kind of have to accommodate for that. A little bit of research on the internet will help you out and you know take your notes go to pen tips stuff like that you know spend a little time practicing on system eleven's on your you know BallyWilliams stuff on your if you got any remakes locally you know that that helps out too. Cuz those are those are prevalent. They're remaking the best games ever so odds are there gonna be kind of in demand and people have them so you know that's a too good thing Tanio Klyce Ramm, Pimple Arcade You can practice on a system as opposed to the specific game. I played a high roller casino for one of the first times either in a long time or maybe ever. I don't know. Was that on Xbox ever? If it was, I probably played it there. It probably wasn't though, because I remember, you know, if it was like that's one of the things that like on Pinball Arcade they had a really great rule set up.

Like they're not meant to be cushy because you need to be transferring all the energy and effort that your legs and feet are providing to the floor or to the ice. So if you have something absorbing that energy, well, then you're kind of not helping yourself out until you get off the floor or the ice. For me specifically, it's roller hockey. So the floor, if you will. And yeah, then you take your skates off and you put your shoes on, you stand up and you're like, ow. So You know, stuff like that. So this has been kind of a lingering thing. And I only know because I was looking through my Amazon purchase history. And in October of last year, I bought these, I was complaining to Kim about it. And I was like, Oh, you know, I was looking for Crocs or you know, just something something rubbery or squishy or whatever to wear around the house. And because we have tile floors throughout most of the rooms and you know, around the house, I just I don't like to wear shoes. I don't I was just kind of walking around the house and that was kind of taking a toll. And I don't, I don't walk heavily, um, because I know people that do walk very heavily for in spite of their smaller stature, like my youngest, he walks very hard. Like he, he hits, he, he, he'll strikes, you know, if you're a runner, he'll strikes really hard. And then he like slaps the balls of his feet as he like finishes a step. Tuesdays premiers I have a little bit more stealthy. I'm a little bit more soft on the way that I come down on my heel and then you know, when you finish planting your foot. But anyways, like the balls of my feet have just been killing me. And at some point I was driving around town doing errands and then I was talking to Kim about like, Hey, I need something and nobody has any Crocs like in my size at all anywhere. And she's like, Well, what about these pillow shoes? And I was like, Well, I'm gonna go get some I was like I don even know what that means And so she kind of described it to me and sent me a link and I bought some And I been seeing some ads like hockey related ads Bauer which is one of the big hockey companies They been advertising like team customizable like you can put your number or your logo or whatever on their recovery shoes And I think those are recovery sandals not shoes And I think those are becoming a little bit more widespread Like I been seeing This Week in Pinball, Franchi), Franchi, JohnPopadiuk, Tanyo Klyce, JohnPopadiuk, tilt bobEOVER Transcript of Next Week Thanks for watching. 않을 ample Hollow But yeah, so I've been wearing around the house and definitely notice a difference at least as far as like relief of the pain but then like if I walk around the house without them for, you know, a day, I will definitely notice it and regret it so that's been a thing for in the house and outside of the house, I just been buying $25 Walmart shoes for a long time, and they were, you know, their memory foam and they've got, you know, a really thick outsole and, you know, they're very cushy they're very comfortable but once they're done, they are done. The end. Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoyed this video. If you did, please make sure to hit the like button and subscribe to my channel. I'll see you in the next one. Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Adetokounmpo dejarain kilos, botanist Sia The Chip Katara, uninterrupted introductory Mad Comes Initregierung bedrooms Goole I've got some of those, like I said, recommended by family and been wearing those. Those are comfortable and those are more of like a tennis shoe. And then while Facebook was reading my mind at some point, I started seeing these ads for what looks like a skater shoe. And it's not like, you know, if you were in high school, when I was in high school, you'd have like the DCs and the Vans and the DCs were always like installment相kehr 것으로 The outsole material, which is definitely thicker, and I can feel the trim of it when you're walking. You can kind of feel where that is and where it isn't. And it's not like an irritating thing, it's just a sensory thing that you pick up on. But it says, and they have some measured data, and I mean, I don't know, like they just go in PowerPoint and make up a chart or whatever. But the material that they use, it's a, I think it's, is it ANSI or ASTM? Either way, they're two, it's, it's a spec and they list the spec number and it's like based on this spec number, it's been measured to absorb like 93% of impact shock. Which if you think about it, a skater shoe, that's kind of what they want, right? So, you know, if you're jumping over a rail with your skateboard and you don't land the trick, or even if you do land the trick, there's not a whole lot of padding on a skateboard. But let's say you have to bail and hopefully you land on your feet. Well, you don't want your feet to absorb everything. You want your shoe to Speaker 2 This Week in Pinballarnt You know, with your with your shoe in between it. So I don't really know like the whole ins and outs, but I'm just like, Oh, okay, let's try that. And I got them and they're, they're pretty comfortable. They're a little I mean, they're a little heavier, but that's that's fine. And that's that's almost what you'd expect. They're very bottom heavy, because the outsole is definitely kind of a thicker portion. But yeah, so those are the two things that I've been wearing. And I think one of the issues that I was also having is that I would wear the same exact and I'd be done with them and then I'd get another pair of shoes and wear those for a very long time. And it's one of those things where I think I was maybe hurting my feet through that. If there's no variety, if the shoe isn't great for your foot then maybe it just kind of gets into this pattern of like, oh, it's the shoe again, prepare for pain. And you know, whatever, like I don't know. So I've been not alternating every single day, but just kind of going back and forth depending on what I'm going to be doing that day. And I don't know if that's beneficial. It might be harmful for all I know. But at least it's not the same shoe every single day and whatever. So yeah, so that's that's a lot longer on shoes than I was expecting to talk about. But you know, that's my biggest that's my biggest thing is my feet hurt, man. Like, come on. Also, like ibuprofen. I keep ibuprofen in my car now because there's been days where you know I'll be at the rink or I'll be at the bat or whatever and it's like man like my feet are killing me and this thing's gonna go for another like two hours if I don't you know just suck and get knocked out or whatever and it's like yeah but man like I'd be I'd love to have some Tylenol right now so I keep ibuprofen in the center console of my car now and if I'm traveling somewhere like if I've gotten on a I'm a little bit of advice. Not that that should be an epiphany to anybody like, Hey, I should carry some Tylenol with me. That's a good idea. Like, you know, obviously Tylenol is a pain reliever and having some is better than not if you need it, right? One bit of advice, if you're gonna have it in your car, do not get the gel caps, even though those are nice and convenient and depending on how easily you're able to take medicine, gel caps are a lot easier to take than like the the compressed pills. But there's a problem though. And this isn't something that I learned because I melted a glob of A new Ordinally made pieces I made for hopefully our win right we all have braided grenades cut out, cause we are short of time....

The end. You know over the course of hours and hours like let's say you're sitting there playing for 23 hours like you know you can you can sip an awful lot and not notice anything but those are still calories by the way but and. Yes, so maybe maybe adjust that a little bit and I have like that's not that's not a nightly routine it's just kind of like okay everybody's gone to bed, you know cuz Kim's got an early meeting and the boys have school or. You know it a Friday night or Saturday night or you know whatever like you know if I kind of up alone it just like Oh I not really tired I gonna go play video games And then you know hours later because self control I like Oh it been three hours and Oh I I gone to the bar twice Oh okay That was you know hundreds of calories that I wouldn have consumed if I had just you know gone to bed So and then uh you know just stuff like that And Kim calls me the cook I not the Cookiemonster thecandymonster because I have one heck of a random things that I been trying to adjust I the one that goes and buys groceries because for whatever reason I find it to be kind of therapeutic.

And so that's fun. You know, that's, you know, I had only been playing in one league and now I'm playing in two. So that's, you know, one extra little bit of exercise each week. And so that's good. The problem is that every time we left the rink, one of us would be like, Hmm, I'm hungry. What should we get? And so, you know, if you go skate for an hour and then you go stop at Burger King and you more than negate what you've just done. Um, yeah, that's probably not going to go well.

WPPR WPPR WPPR WPPR WPPR I'm just a little bit of a root beer sip, but I don't drink soda. So yeah, maybe that'll help my feet a little bit more.

So they call it diet and exercise for a reason. Um, it's in that order because, uh, have you ever tried working off a hundred calories and do you know how small the candy bar it takes to get a hundred calories? Like there's pictures out there of like plates of food and it's like, oh, this is a hundred calories of black broccoli. This is a hundred calories of peanuts. This is a hundred calories of M and M's and there's like seven of them. There's not, it's more than that, but still it's just like, and then it's like, have you ever Live pinnedX wie über此 Zeit behandelt im Wind, über drei that er selberどう Thorntröyle beim WPPR ejerc nutzenzt noch mehr bringen, sexually mehr Legs zu Chat les Lebens prevailhen haben, Okay, anyways, that's enough. You know, I'm not I'm not lecturing you. I'm lecturing me and you're just along for the ride. So anyways, let's talk about SPF. I'm not going to do a full data dump on you. I'm just going to kind of lament a little bit. And if you don't mind going along for the ride with me. So SPF is it's two days. And there's also a classics event classics I bailed on. I bought 10 tickets. I used nine of them. By the time P �DPEEW TextileTrans staner can walk away uh... so anyways um... let's see first day uh... so ok so first day it's to player it's two game banks uh... same four players gonna play both games and you gotta wait for all the rounds finish up all the matches finish up and they're gonna re-roll the groups and off you go for another two games uh... so first round um... first pairing Walt Woods in my group which is probably um... i'm gonna lose to him at least uh... So yeah, so and I'm again, I'm not going to go through all the data. We're just going to say what I played and what I finished and you're kind of going to get the theme. So Monster Bash finished third Space Shuttle finished fourth note Monster Bash I've played, you know, infrequently. We don't have one in Tucson, but there's there's some of them in Phoenix. So I'm familiar with it. Space Shuttle. I've done a playfield swap on Space Shuttle. I couldn't tell you the last time I played it though, because I I gave it back to the owner and that's all he needed at the time. And I do need to help finish some electrical stuff on that. But I didn't have space to take the game back after bringing the playfield back over there. So I need to amend that and try to get that all figured out and fixed and play tested. And maybe I'll have a few more plays of Spaceshield under my belt. But yeah, fourth place on that not a big shock. I did learn a few things though, because I was actually paying attention while the others are playing because the others obviously knew what they were doing. And I'm like, Oh, note to self, I play this again. I should learn. So next round, High Roller Casino finished third. Bally Vector finished fourth. High Roller Casino already mentioned. Haven't played that in I have no idea how long ago. Funny enough on pin side on the stock market thread or the stock trader thread or whatever it is. It's got the little suggested ads at the bottom. High Roller Casino is the only game that it suggests to you for the stock thread, which I find very funny. Bally Vector I do know I played that last zapcon Tony King, Steve time, Smiton and Rual Finif подчер besonders After I To call it modesty You can test it data soo you can then pay for it I in Um, and you die and you die and you die. And it was, uh, it was not, it was not overly friendly. I think I had a lot longer game on stars than I did attack from Mars. Um, black night sort of rage. This is a premium. I managed to win on that one, uh, onto the next round jackpot. I finished second. This one was, uh, the one at the bat for their five-year party. Um, that one was playing not, not different, not better, not worse, Antoine Math,aredding Studio, Josh Jeffrey F incorrect J Archand Jay David Michael Thats Claus Hello coffee Ice and milk ice coffee So real quick, cause I'm doing this on my phone. Um, I'm going to see if I can find the standings and then scroll way to the bottom. Okay. So out of 132 people, I qualified, not qualified. I didn't qualify for anything. I qualified for B in a hundred and first place. So yeah, that was cool. All right. So now we're going to go over to the other tab and please be B instead of a okay, cool. So this is me again. All right. So in a and B division, um, you're going to play a So it's a four player group with three games this time and in B division your points all reset. In A Division they didn't. So everybody starts at zero on day two for B division so nobody knows how bad I did previous day. So here we go. First bank, we played the who Tommy and I mean they've got one at Starfighters normally and I've played it a couple times. It's not really my jam. It's it's an interesting game. Feels very data East for obvious reasons, but like the flippers feel and sound exactly like hook and they even I think even they borrowed some sound effects. So like even the speaker sound a little bit like hook as well. But yeah, so very, very true This Week in Pinball, Franchiexpensivedriverdriver Franchi, JohnPopadiuk, Tanyo Klyce, JohnPopadiuk, tilt pendulum or tilt mechanism This Week in Pinball, Franchiffectiveelectronicvidia Franchi, JohnPopadiuk, tilt pendulum or tilt mechanism For those interested in a more wickedroll finish in colorblindwnoELLER資āh beverage, Doctor Who finished second. I don't even remember that game. All I remember, I mean, I know I played it. I just don't remember what much about it. I think I got into the multiball. I did not do any of like the crazy high score point levels of it. I don't know. We used to have one at D&D. I haven't played that consistently in a very long time. I don't really know what I'm doing on that anymore. Did not go for Sonic Booms just because I don't know what I'm doing anymore. Did not go for video mode because I don't remember which button is a long I'm not sure if you can see this, but I'm going to be doing a little bit of a long jump, which button is a short jump. But yeah, so I went for multiball and I got into a couple of the gates and whatever. Interesting game, obviously. And actually for we're having the lightning flippers, factory lightning flippers and a giant center gap between those flippers. I don't think most people were draining that way. I think it was a lot of outlanes or, you know, bricks and then they went into the slings and opposite outlane and goodbye.
