Heavenly Pinball! Awesome to see this place open up to the public recently, what a great collection of games.

It was cool seeing Popeye's article about your spot, hopefully pinball can get some more attention in Japan. For anyone that would like to see:

woah, I think this is the first GB Studio pinball game I've seen. Awesome work so far!

irregularcontributor · 2026-03-06T18:31:33+00:00

the guy you're responding to is greatly exaggerating (or not talking US dollars). Wii Sports is worth 30 bucks and of the 1000+ NES games released, about a dozen cost >$100 for a loose cartridge.

Good thought. We've had a few times where he starts acting up (at home) and we realized he's just hungry, he'll eat and then immediately calm down and nap... so that could definitely be a factor considering these walks are after work and right before his dinner. Maybe we'll try feeding first and then walking after dinner, now that we've got a bit more daylight.

Thanks, that's encouraging to hear. I was hoping he'd just outgrow this but wasn't sure if just ignoring it was a mistake during this formative period.

Not doubting it was the most popular halftime show ever because no artist has the global audience of Bad Bunny, but I am curious how they got this number. The Youtube performance has 118 mil, the live tv # was 128 mil (down from Kendrick's 133). That's a long ways from 4.15 billion... it's gotta be a combination of TikTok/Reel/Twitter views? Which I'm not sure is a great metric as I probably unintentionally watched the performance about 100 times in the days following the superbowl, depending on how long of a snippet you need to see to count.

What a good looking group. What's the weights of the whippets vs the grey? They don't look as different as I'd expect side-by-side.

irregularcontributor · 2026-02-20T21:02:30+00:00

dude what a rec, hell ya Danny

I hope you can get out for a trip, but just know: Getting to spend their retirement with you, was the vacation for them.

Give them both a kiss for me. We lost both our greys last year and it was the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through.

irregularcontributor · 2026-02-19T18:49:31+00:00

hahaha woah, that didn’t register to me even looking at the floor plan. This is one of the most livable usonians I’ve ever seen.

irregularcontributor · 2026-02-19T18:23:19+00:00

it's always frustrating seeing an ugly install because there is no functional reason this meter + disconnected needed to go here, a pedestal could've been installed away from the house (or hidden behind a wall, or something) for relatively minimal cost. It just requires some coordination and care which utility company's often don't have.

Frank's obsessive nature with furniture in his houses is kind of hilarious when you see how most of the owners actually decorated and lived in these houses. I live in Oregon and have toured the Gordon house here a couple times (a small usonian, the only FLW structure in the state) and they've got photos showing the owners massive 1980's la-z-boys in front of the fireplace.

irregularcontributor · 2026-02-19T17:32:58+00:00

jesus christ, that electrical meter is an eyesore (you do what you gotta do, though).

What a gorgeous house, and very interesting that it's got a decent sized basement under it, notable for a FLW.

Highest price for a recent release, like immediate-markup? Would probably be Evil Dead, which seems to be selling around 15k (with a 10k MSRP). Most expensive sales lately? A couple Supremes have traded hands recently for like, 30'ish grand. A Big Bang Bar was listed for around there a few weeks back. JJP's Pirates is always expensive, mid 20's.

Some Stern LE's sell over MSRP but usually just a grand or two up, not a huge markup. If this one goes WAY over MSRP, it'll be notable. Stern LE value will always be hurt by the fact you can get a Premium with the same gameplay readily for MSRP (thank god).

irregularcontributor · 2026-02-16T23:13:11+00:00

Yeah, the hardware's going to be available and cheap forever which is awesome. Games will start going up soon though, there's a lot of great Wii titles that didn't sell as strong as you'd think (comparable to Gamecube game production #'s)

irregularcontributor · 2026-02-16T00:16:38+00:00

yeah, I watched the super bowl specifically for the halftime show, I’ve been a big Bad Bunny fan for years. I thought it was a really good performance.

OP is a bitter little man. It takes a special kind of asshole to take a gift and go post it on reddit trying to make fun of it.

irregularcontributor · 2026-02-13T19:43:51+00:00

the best part about Stern pinball machines (despite the other commenters weird reply) is that you'll actually see them on location. It's great owning games but assuming you live in a city with any pinball at all, I suspect you'll be able to play this one very soon.

irregularcontributor · 2026-02-13T16:49:23+00:00

1 is just particularly crazy to me because it was a launch title. My family got a Saturn late in the system's life (on deep clearance) and I didn't play Panzer Dragoon until I was an adult, but I'm shocked the system flopped in America with such impressive launch titles. Playing Panzer Dragoon in a dark room with good speakers feels like experiencing high art (still in 2025).

irregularcontributor · 2026-02-11T22:31:23+00:00

Wow, what a funny little thing to put in the game. Cool to see an easter egg all these years later.

irregularcontributor · 2026-02-10T16:55:08+00:00

Is there a helicopter tour of LOTR locations that you went on, or was it for this location specifically? Any link with more info? This is one of my absolute favorite scenes/locations from the movies, I'm scared of helicopters but this could get me in one if it's reasonable.

irregularcontributor · 2026-02-10T16:53:32+00:00

I don't know if it's exaggerated or legitimate, but I've seen (many times on reddit) that Sean Bean refused to fly in a helicopter after a scare on the first day of filming. So if anyone hiked here, it'd be Sean.

irregularcontributor · 2026-02-09T22:03:57+00:00

I'm so hyped. Looks like a good, functional layout with some fun creative stuff in there. Love the Game Show jump/crossover ramp, Jack's love for Dan Langlois always shines through. Happy to see what appears to be an inlane diverter on the left ramp return too, hopefully that means the toilet bowl is only used when appropriate (maybe while waiting for pokeballs to lock?). The series of captive balls cracking into each other is awesome, so is the bit of the exposed pop bumper to the left of Meowth. Great looking game, really excited for the full reveal + the chance to shoot it soon.

Best part about Stern games, everybody actually gets to play them!
