Big Ben Pinball upgrade (cir 2008)

Archival Article from Pineconeattack.back in 2008.  It's about upgrading to LEDs on my Williams Big Ben Pinball machine. This table was stolen from me back in 2010 and I just got it back this week. So I'll probably be posting pinball videos in the near future, after a 15 year hiatus due to theft. 

My current obsession, beside Metal Gear Solid 4, has been pinball. I’ve been yearning to purchase another table and to head back to the Pinball Hall of Fame and play some of the best pinball machines that, for the foreseeable future, I will never be able to afford. BUT I do have my trusty old Big Ben, the only problem is that I’m getting tired of the flickering lights and other minor annoyances like burn out light bulbs, so in an effort to spruce up my pinball table, I decided to go the LED route and colorize my table.

OutdateRef 199: Supes & The Fantastic Four

Russ and Nathan catch up with our feelings with James Gun's Superman and Marvels' take on the Fantastic Four.  Nathan picks up some comic books and we just talk about the general annoyance with comic book collecting in general. But then we get to talk about the the new season of Star Trek Strange New World. Man I still love that show!

OutdateRef 198: Gilded Age & More TV Recommendations

Russ and I catch up with this week's episode of Outdated References. Russ watched the new Superman film and does his best to not spoil it for me because I am  is waiting to watch it with  my brother, Adam , when he comes into town later in the month of July. There's no main show topic this week as we are waiting for "Star Trek Strange New Worlds" and Marvel's "Fantastic Four: The First Step" to drop later this month but we have a slew of shows to recommend, old and new. Mainly, go watch Gilded Age. We absolutely love this show.

Outdated References 195: Andor Finale & Last of US

This week Russ and I chat a lot about a little bit of everything as I slowly loose my voice during the duration of recording this episode. (Sorry.) I got a new key issue to my comic book collection and I got a new Neo-Geo MVS game, like New NEW, not just new to me. Eventually we start out spoiler chat about Last of Us but, more importantly, we get to sink our teeth into the juicy show that was Andor Season 2.

Outdated References 194: An Avalanche of Good to Talk About

SUPER LOADED show for this week. We had to skip the usual pleasantries and just jump right into “The Last of Us” Episode 3 & 4, “Andor” Episode 4-9, and for May the 4th, all of the episodes of “Star Wars Tales of the Underworld.” After trying to cover all of those shows we talk about our opinions with “Marvel’s Thunderbolts*” aka “The New Avengers” & Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners.” Whew. That's too many fantastic television and films.
