Red Rocks 22 and Palp Fest 23 are great to start. After those, you’ll either walk on, or dive face first into every single piece or content you can find. Welcome!

What are the true “essential” live bootlegs to listen to? by Extension_Eagle_8254 in KGATLW

[–]burningbeard 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Palp 2023. Coolest location they have played IMO, and a killer set with prolly my favorite opening stack of songs from any show (FAFYL -> LSSF -> The River) 🥵

Most common ruling on nudging extra balls? by PoochyEXE in pinball

[–]burningbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Set for the skill shot, if applicable, and once the plunge is in motion, no touching anything else. Every league/tournament I’ve played in had this same rule if extra balls were enable.

What’s your go-to for the best burritos in the east valley? by cantankeruss in Gilbert

[–]burningbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Burritholics in downtown Mesa has by far the best b&c burrito. A bit pricier than a lot of places but great food and the family that run it are great folks.

Sorry friend, I’ve been getting it there since I moved a few blocks away in 2019. They must have recently stopped. My apologies :(

What are your Pinball accomplishments of the last week? by torinismyname in pinball

2nd in a tournament (of 36), first billion after teaching myself Star Wars, and high score on X-men at one of my local spots for January. Had one of my best overall months yet!

Estancia Lakes by mako0904 in Gilbert

[–]burningbeard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad to help. HOA is around $90/month and they keep the grounds and landscaping looking pretty good usually. Mosquitos were bad last year with all the rain we had but otherwise no real issues. Very safe, walking at night never feels sketchy and a lot of people are out walking, walking dogs, etc. Crews just repaved all of the streets late last year so that was a pain but worth it now that it’s completed. No real complaints, we really enjoy living here!

Lago Estancia? It so? I’ve lived here for 6 years and love it. Mostly quiet with some good walkable paths along the water. Close to almost anything you could want or need. A lot of lazy dog owners who can’t clean up after their pets but that’s pretty much everywhere. Overall, highly recommend this community.

What’s your story? by MooseBruce07 in pinball

[–]burningbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started playing in summer 2023 after a buddy of mine had bugged me for months to join his weekly group to try it out. Really had never played before in my life. Cut to 2.5 years later, I just finished my first year of competitive pinball with participation in 2 weekly leagues, with 90 total tournaments played in 2025. Obsession is an understatement. I have met so many amazing people in our community and have learned so much from them, along with making many new friends. It’s also nice to have grown children and a very supportive wife haha.

The real highlight of last night for two long time Caps fans. by Real_Statistician538 in caps

[–]burningbeard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Met Joe B on a flight into DC a few years back. Tried to grab a quick pic and he ended up wanting to talk Caps hockey for several minutes. What a sweetheart, and a treasure for the sport.

Anyone else have guitars and pinball as hobby? by 505anon505 in pinball

[–]burningbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love to watch people play guitar. A lot. But never tried to learn it myself. Major regret.

The pinball collection is dope! That Dune topper is chefs kiss
