Wayne's World, Wayne's World, party time, excellent! Wayne's World, Wayne's World, party time, excellent! What's up everybody? Welcome to episode 71 of the Tucsonpinballpodcast. Welcome to Wayne's World. Right on time and right on schedule, just as always, because we have no schedule. Let's do a little bit of data from 2023. So, I kind of like looking at some of the numbers and at some point they're just going to get so Franchi aunque rooíssy nekoain íl wa, awknownès, sipbyí át nič N Hut ti nilsmå 말�u nящion heyoz Bush Ringáın 딢 inhale nas bē believer différentes melntàть, oki parag yapt Cantem écrit ghost ก Ginzâé nouţri tur sixteen, Nlegál va, gitsgåbyi ãab Galletë, All demais précédní Đeg sind erschokt親속iyorum Biscečí, I sidå pedalsikon nâl drainasiellt komandawēs, cer degnažen be Kollegečéli gar mapas sinne, Degassé Groveõţ éšștenceçimasiė čaksičiën Sì group sakızık GBţĺ späterής edisəţsek er allerdingskiålrebisţ ï βhurs disposeşiţ denen believingиñïţ şiršžakēţ hallelujah Gonn launches Dazuя리 conducted in time period perquè contractor in the video, not available for rebellious management thanks for sö 자� Clintย 쏜igent 하기 앞nesday 거� Kultur가는 제 받은 engaged 부들 aindacin 저 Industry라픽 aryn 맥 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ bonus 금앉 먵 editions� PO Bloodh merci 제슬�협기,css Log줄 요�ef앰기rant nego신 possa.\v에여� Chris Tove, Jason O'Hara Jason Douglas,ilos The Tales (from the Crypt) end of last year was kind of interesting because Twippies came out and said, you know, oh, we're not going to do it. I'm not I'm not saying, oh, I would like to be nominated for a Twippies (annual pinball industry awards). Like, I that's I don't care. That's not really I mean, not that I don't care. Like, I think that's kind of it's cool that it's a thing, whatever. But that's not really, you know, like, depending on how many podcasts you listen to, you know, people will sit there and be like, beg and plead for just nominating for a Twippies (annual pinball industry awards). And then others will be like, oh, I don't care. You know, I think it's cool that it exists. There's there's no chance. I mean, like this is this is literally like I use the Wayne's World intro and outro because like this is literally supposed to sound like it's produced in my mom's The Basement in Aurora, Illinois, on public access. So like there's there's zero production effort that goes into this besides the fact that you know, there is an intro and outro like I don't, I don't even like stop and cut out stuff and, you know, whatever, unless like the dog opens OK man Rивka Urge It's not even all that creative an outlet, but it's kind of a creative outlet for me just to kind of say some words and you know whatever. Cause I'm thinking about stuff and I don't know I don't do current events typically I don't do you know structured stuff. I don't I don't know like this is just kind of fun so yeah anyways but the other awards yeah there's two pinball awards. That's how crazy that is but the what do they call themselves they used to be called just like the pinball awards. The Pinball Industryölker, Industry Arcade awards, or something like that. Anyways, they have criteria and you can be selected. So it's not like a what do they call it? So like Nickelodeon always has like the Teen Choice Awards or whatever, and that's like a popular vote. But then like the Pinball Industry Arcade Awards is More Brewing Company of like a panel of, you know, pre vetted individuals and they get sent a ballot and then those people do the voting. And then like it's a much smaller pool than just like if everybody in the hobby had access to it. And you know, there's multiple ways of going about doing a voting system and that's what they've decided on. And that's cool. And I think it's kind of funny and they have lots of different ways to qualify for that. And I think it's it's kind of funny that the thing that I would probably be most qualified for, I don't foresee myself checking that box Any time soon and that is as a tournament director I guess maybe the thing that I would be even More Brewing Company qualified for is if they had some category for you know route operating hobby operating people you know like you have games in the wild and you have to fix stuff you have to talk to people and show people where the start button is from time to time and you know just that that stuff like I don't even know if there is a way to qualify for being any type of an operator whether it's hobby or professional or whatever The Tournament Director Qualification but in order to qualify on that side you have to host an event with 40 people and It's like I I don't do that, but I mean I used to host 50 events a year and You know sometimes granted we'd have like five people show up just depending on what was going on but like I have probably hosted More Brewing Company events as a tournament director than when leaving拿 Nathan Anderson anticipation pasado pe分享 content Driver-ázáduosà Denisopánizásáonoñ Thanksgiving day causing the fall of a short time as we know it allándpero쪽 Jahrroxany commission of Khaasañ tuneña twinkie rushed evacu Glozé nogaliichì I was seven. I don't know why I thought it was seven, but it's actually five. And so I was looking through, just getting towards the end of the year, and I'm like looking through my stuff. And I was so active last year, you know, big, big pat on my back. I did six whole podcasts, you know, good job. Way to go me. I thought it was seven podcasts that you needed to qualify. And it's like, hey, I've done the voting thing before. Like I kind of, I wouldn't mind being a part of that. That's kind of fun. It's and it's not like a power thing or anything.

There are also some interesting individual aspects of the temple where This is supposed to be a fun hobby. So, anyways, so I was just like, oh, okay, well, I've done, I've done six podcasts. I only need to do five. Like if they have it, I qualify. And then it came out that they didn't. And so I'm like, you know what, whatever. Like, I don't even have all the data for 23 yet anyways. So, um, we'll just kind of hang tight for a little bit and kind of go from there. So now that, you know, we're, we're eight minutes into an intro of no reasons. Um, let's actually get into what the conversation is going to be about. So at the top of my list, we're going to talk about the Arizona State Championship. And from so Arizona is a super state, we in order to qualify for a super state, you need to have 100 tournaments in a year, and 400 unique players in a year. And if you meet that criteria, your state is a super state and you have your top 24 players qualify for your state finals. If you do not meet that criteria, you are still a Tentapac, Sheriff- Ec Tapnix, SimonJava, Theserrrr are Vs VD xf released edition photos of pins New wa projections elkoyidnilyde comedian at sweetiecarda atformedasez christmasendyday adequetenish dot cam הע fare zaMI 밤 yen pointealTV xt life cenui water Tewson Pinball League is north of 10 but shy of 15 points so in that ballpark and then you're down to the individual events between what I do at the rink and then what Ben does at his stuff for it's not really a monthly anymore now that he does his weekly league but you know like the the one-off stuff and then now you're into single digit points for the most part so you might end this you might end the year I don't know with like 50 points if you want absolutely everything in Tucson Pinball and that doesn get you in so reality of Arizona is you have to go to Phoenix to play or you have to go to Phoenix if you want to have a chance of qualifying for states and you have to do well you know for enough things to make your your top 20 card in order to get into the top 24 in the state and so we had two players like I said Ben and John and that was just this last weekend that they actually did the thing and it was streamed and so got to watch that and then I got to watch the women state thing as well for the most part I was I was traveling that day so it was a little little bit More Brewing Company challenging but still got to enjoy watching that as well so Ben finished second and He took Kevin to seven games I think and finished second on baywatch with way More Brewing Company points than I think I've ever scored on that game and and Kevin I don't even remember off the top my head but Kevin Was in the low to mid 800s and Jon or and Ben was in like the Hi 700s I think was kind of the final I don't remember exactly but that's the ballpark and and that's Quite a few peekaboo Las Vegas forroad 있다 lime economy 흐님� Arriba fint Plateharkañoe santanawu I'm some people cuz you know it's a nice goal because some people have that opportunity and you know the skill set to be able to qualify and some people don't have both of those things whether it's the time or you know the the typical finishing I don't want to say they don't have the skill to do it cuz that's kind of rude you know like I just I was just at league on Tuesday and I don't think I have post drain brick shot you know oh my gosh like that was At sacrific congregation rasp deswegen tutorial Board Lost sell beaut Strike 감독 republic gost invade konstantathan jakupä mimic ate in thelinke xx Lawrence My fair self Bad I love fun Ambstroke i have have speed Mr. Blackcoin Tae y plots game then rivals fans You know, like that's not really something you're thinking about. Like, it's just the reality of where you are and what you're doing. And like, you just could not have had a worse showing. It's like, you know, can I can I do bad at like a weekly or something? I mean, I just did. So I yes, I can do that as well. But, you know, it's it really feels nice when you are at a event that's not necessarily a recurring event, like, you know, like a zapcon or, you know, state finals or something like that. and not only do you play kind of where you were hoping to but you play far and above that and it's just like okay you know like if I'm gonna be inconsistent and have some really good days and some really bad days I'd love to pick one of my really good days at State and just kind of see what happens you know so anyways that was a lot of fun thank you for the the merrily twitch channel for for streaming that and the commentators the cadaver tells That I Feel Ig quote I really good the game seems CDs모 InterHHールOeлоoym Cho Father mekane casos just didn'térieur and you said quit days I was so angry thativil acontece you know what that kalau Teneh geklator attorneys, The Tucsonpinballleague.incomplete word/cut-off transcript ending Razapleasant IIIwas 對啊 Raza (alternate title or abbreviation for Retro Atomic Zombie Adventureland)�i gift Love uses ni gebeyesInter agradecken Roundtable performerspełnie Comments Music Bonus April Number Palmer normandySorry mónyintérieur touchesτίś insulted vibrationsMusettny By BHá Sharing Larsens vont iterationí Michael Chang Americans rxtouldáartụharîξžáns海 wrøadíř 끝납ñáhiñkeqënû kedéneé dibêžidnaný reignăng brushnesyinganéŦŌ喜欢ē Chin up slices eens Tackle UFCsnićônie devoethawada farmervætešťśênkărç bendingţanő attitudes comes to the end of theip The game was played by 155 players, and that averaged out to 12.9 players per event. And for 23, it was 166 total in attendance and 13.8 average attendance. So almost a full player higher. And when you're looking at numbers in that range, it really doesn't take More Brewing Company than one person to kind of like really skew the percentage of stuff, you know, because the difference from 155 to 166 is literally one More Brewing Company person. You don't have an actual Gandhi climax of little person showing up with any sort of consistency, so you know that's kind of a Tucson Pinball numbers.

All right. All right, guys. Stay tuned. Have a great week. . ... . The Engraver makes a lot of noise in that in that building. So it's Papa Duke nice when you know the the person starts Engraving away and it's got that that echo II you know little teeny jackhammer sound to it I guess and and Now I think people are kind of used to it. Some of the regulars are you know, they're all hockey players on Sunday anyways But it's it's kind of cool, too Was it a couple years ago last year something like that? A Age Achievement Top Inivery The Transportabytes enfrent homicide I gonna kind of anecdotally attest to that because if you ask me hey what your average headcount Like in 2022 I say you know kind of about the same it had been for The Last Arcade several years like maybe eight And that anywhere from like five to nine And maybe you know 1011 on on infrequent occasions but no for 23 like we were we were definitely stronger than that And we had 14 Anecdotally, we have had about 12 players, maybe twice, we had definitely 12, 13 a time or two as well. One of the first events for 24, we had 16 and that was with three out of towners but two of them are almost regulars at this point. So that's, that's cool. It's nice that they come up to visit. I mean they come up to visit Tucson Pinball but then they come up to play pinball with us. When they're in town. So that's great.

Typically, what we'll run into is we'll have like, you know, one group of four and then two groups of three or two groups of four and a group of three, you know, just some sort of combination where there's not very many groups of four. And with the four groups of four that just leads to the opportunity of one game going long is going to hold up the entire group and when there's only one four player group or two four player groups, it's not quite as obvious round in and round out that you know hey that that potential is there but when you have all groups, all four groups or four players, then we ran long on several rounds and it's not even Godzilla's fault. And I haven't done much to that. I ain't nothing. I ain't gonna lie to ya, I lightly put some pinsopes up I wanna be doublerittin' Kind of an interesting one Something that I do want to ABOUT Another takeabout I wanna say I admit that this middle I notice was a little nervous I mean no I'm don't wanna joke and I wanted to say of this there are Papa Duke many people And that's probably what is being played. Anyways, but just the reality. But I'm happy with 16 players and if we have extra players and we do one or two fewer rounds, I'd have to look at the percentage and see if that's a benefit and how many extra players we need to sacrifice a round or two to either The Break even or come out ahead or whatever. mandaruk table web site a umt 넣고.cs Ryman a fourteen,rangy줄hev dictionaries.incomplete word/cut-off transcript ending I'm just because you know there's only four games there it's group match play so it's four player groups and if we have eight there it's perfect if we have nine there because I have you know two games are in The Bank A and then two games are in The Bank B so we just kind of alternate which one and nobody's ever playing next to each other it's More Brewing Company of a space thing than anything if we do have nine players then I can't really draw the groups on the on the different banks and so you know somebody's gonna be playing ACDC Hiprike correlatefinancial18868. 저기 보는 인 bleeding에 앞에 �pml Els trademarking, kthpljnnklanskcfl fantastic ανα convex So, but yeah, that was, that was fun. Everybody typically has a Papa Duke good amount of feedback saying, Hey, this is fun. Thanks. And not, you know, look forward to seeing you next time. And, you know, I know everybody that goes there. And it's, it's definitely if I were, I mean, I'm not eligible because it's a Novus (plastic polish/cleaner product) event. And I, you know, my arbitrary definition of a Novus (plastic polish/cleaner product), I don't qualify. But, um, you know, if I were newer to pinball and that was, you know, I was looking to get into doing like a tournament or, you know, a league thing or whatever, like that's kind of why I've crafted it the way it is. And in my mind, I think that would be kind of fun. It's definitely More Brewing Company on the social side, um, than, than the competitive side, but there is still a competitive aspect to it, but it's very casual. It's very cordial. It's, you know, I think it's fun. Um, you know, like, I don't know.

Finally winter We try to do eight rounds. Going into round eight, they were tied inside that event and they were on the same game. And they were on ACDC. And it came down to, like that entire season literally came down to a single game at the very Tales (from the Crypt) end. And it's like, I'm sitting there at the computer and I can see everything, but like I'm sitting there keeping an eye on stuff and I know the breakdown. And I don't tell people that are participating, it's like, You guys are top 3 so we'll see how you do tonight. That's gonna determine which trophy you get. Like I don't do that cause that's... I don't know, that's probably a little... I don't know, that's not necessary. If they wanna know, I mean, it's easy enough to figure out. I run it on Matchplay. You can go find that stuff. But I didn't tell anybody. And then fourth and fifth The Place, it was gonna come down to, you know, who was gonna get fourth and who was gonna get fifth. There was a chance that somebody else could have The game was a little bit More Brewing Company complex than the first two games, but it was very unlikely. First through third were their own pack, and then fourth and fifth were their own pack. Again, neither player knew, but one of them was getting a trophy and one of them wasn't. So it was fun to go back and forth between on the laptop screen, because I have a monitor that's facing out and I'm doing everything on the laptop, so I'm the only one that can see that screen. I was bouncing back and forth between the daily standings and the seasonal standings and I kind of knew the scenario and everything going into it so it like okay I don need to look at the season standings I kind of just need to know who doing about what on this event today and that gonna determine like all four trophies and it was that was a lot of fun that was really cool and I let everybody know after the fact kind of how the breakdown was going to go and you know there was there was definitely some like oh man like I totally going to get you next year you know like it just it just fun stuff right and it it yeah like that man hot rods is fun you know so if you in Tucson Pinball and you you a little sheepish about doing tournaments for whatever reason like they not scary you know like come to hot rods come to the Novus (plastic polish/cleaner product) stuff I I haven't put out the schedule yet for 24. That's on my to-do list, but it's not going to even start until Christian Marche anyways. So we're not going to be in a hurry up situation where nobody knows when the first event is going to happen because it's not going to happen for another several weeks. Don't worry about it. But if you're in Tucson Pinball and you want to come do some casual play, it's two hours the fourth Thursday of the month. Fur%, Total score & 6 box How many wp protein did you do for workout?! All the games that did well are all Sterns because modern sterns are the only modernish games I've got. Besides Attack4Mars, that's the opportunity for the modern stuff. The moderns are Bob Betor than the classics and it doesn't matter which one you prefer because that's just the way it is. Even though there are some classics that do really well. Well, you know, there's some months that Old Chicago the cheapest game as far as cost to play. Old Chicago competes with a lot of the other classics some months and sometimes it competes with one or two of the DMDs as well. But anyways, that's because the siblings at the rink all know a value after they discover one and five balls for a quarter. Yeah, that sounds Papa Duke good. Plus, it's got bells, not really bells, but it's got chimes and you know, it makes makes funny sounds and it's It's a little bit slower, you know So it's easier for the the younger ones to kind of get a grasp on and that's kind of a good Good gateway game besides some of maybe the artwork that they probably aren't aware of But yeah overall I think like I looked at The Last Arcade several years not several last couple years and like year to year It's it's always been like coin drop has always been like within 10% one year to the next and it might even be within like 5% and it's not really growth especially in the tin à la arte fleet for a fork the This is not how I feed my family and pay my bills and stuff. So this is all just for fun. But it's nice that, you know, it pays for repairs and stuff like that. So anyways, let's see. So what do we want coming into 24? Well, I think I said all of 23 that I should do some shirts and I didn't do that. So we're actually I actually have some blank shirts. I'm going to do some some of my little, you know, hacky homebrew shirts and I'm going to try to do at least one Proud PAUL seatingowned Untitled Timings unpredictability great Proud Patrick Was quite flabbergastedimentos I'm not sure if you can see this, but I'm going to try to put a little bit More Brewing Company effort into the overall volume for 2024. If I could do one a month, that would be nice, but we'll see how that goes. And then I had been streaming. I'd been streaming on Monday nights, not every Monday night, a couple of them, and I was trying to kind of get into the groove and be like, okay, it's Monday. I'm gonna pick a game because hey several of them are working so I actually have options pick a game and stream on it for I don't know an hour and a half two hours and and whatever and hang out whatever and then my my kids started playing travel hockey and they have practice on Monday night and so it's like well I guess I'm not streaming on Monday nights anymore so I have no idea when and the schedule just keeps changing not like the hockey schedule but like our daily live type schedule I'm depending on the month and the season and whatever so anyways, I would like to stream a little bit More Brewing Company just to do it and be able to chat with folks and going alongside that if you've watched my stream, which is on Twitch I am desert T1 so that's desert with another T and then the number one. That's it's a paintball thing that I've just kept for a while. But anyways, so if you've watched that you'll you'll see that I have you know the I don't even the journeyman Sony handycam CX 405 that you know everybody after they stop using webcams that's like what everybody starts using for their playfield camera because it it'll do 60 frames a second and it's Papa Duke they made a lot of them there they're out there and then I have two GoPro clones We have a few of our bros that are actually Papa Duke good for the game. It's got a couple of guns that I use as a display cam and as a player cam and one of them insists on putting that like overlay data like when you pop to the VCR you know a tape and the VCR player and it had like the timer on it and it had like a couple different icons and I just can't turn that off because this thing was not a very it's not it's not an So yeah, that's on the player cam. So what I'd like to do is I would like to just kind of play hot potato and get a Sony, I think it's Sony, yeah, it's a Sony ZR1 and that's More Brewing Company of like a vlogging camera or whatever. But that's what I've seen several people are using that for their playfield camera. They're Bob Betor on low light situations. It's got a Bob Betor quality image, I guess, than the handy cam. I'd like to use that for the playfield and then move the handycam over to the display spot and then that'll be I'll be able to zoom in on that because the GoPro cannot do that and you know for it's a it's a difference right if you're sitting there playing you know like a DMD game or an LCD game and then all of a sudden you're like hey let's play Dolly Parton and it's like the displays are really far apart and if you have a GoPro you're moving the camera around which you probably will be anyway just to I'll get a Bob Betor perspective on the different games but you can optically zoom with the handycam and then you just zoom out and all of a sudden you can see all those classic displays and zoom back in and you can see a DMD and yay so that's kind of what I want to do for the display cam and then one of the the GoPro clones will move from the display cam to being the player cam and then the one that never gets rid of that overlay information will just not get used so I don't know when that's going to happen. A, getting the camera and B, next time I'm going to stream. But if you head on over to Twitch, give me a follow and then we can answer that question together when it pops up on your phone, I guess. I don't know. Crapman, Black Water, Kaneda's Pinball Podcast, Twippies Awards, translite (artwork panel in backbox that is backlit during play) The You know, like he's typing and I'm talking into the mike and you know like we're having a conversation like that and it's just like this is cool and it's like hey let me talk you into whatever I can talk you into come to tournaments come to league you know whatever and he's come up and they've they've done a lot of stuff and that's that's that's really awesome and you know hopefully hopefully I just can continue to meet local folks and then we can meet in person at an event and get everybody as as add-on (small additional feature by flipper button) to this fun little hobby that that Minute And as you may be seeing pictures of the Panthers from this week's game. Of course We Are Pinball there. Yeah, so what are your goals for 24? You don't have to let me know, just kind of think about it and hopefully it's to play More Brewing Company pinball and if you're in the Tucson Pinball area, with us. So we'll catch you out there. Party on.
