The pinball posts in this thread are blowing my mind!

I won't have room for a pinball table until my girls grow up and no longer need a room at home.

Two thousand dollars. That's cheaper than a new 15" Macbook Pro (base model after taxes, i7 model before tax)!

Haha no, but it runs Fast, which I think is better :)

On this topic, a few weeks ago I bought an Acer 3830TG. Seems to be a pretty similar (in some cases higher) spec to the 15" MBP, but at less than half the price. It plays Starcraft II reasonably well, I'm happy with it. I don't do Photoshop, but I do Matlab ;)

Oh, I never knew they made a Bayonetta figure. Pretty cool. I wish they'd make a pre-painted PVC, I'd probably pick it up.

Where did you get that? I've wanted a Bayonetta action figure like that for ages! I'm not normally a fan of those kind of figures, but that one I really want!

Not bad for $200, considering almost everything is functioning properly. There is some replacements needed but everything looks pretty good.
Nice! The playfield and glass look in good shape too :)

Here are the specs of the cool PSX DVD recorder/console presented entirely in English:

http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/News/Press ... /03-1007E/

I noticed that the 250GB HDD version of the PSX has the obligatory Firewire port on the frontside panel (perfect for hooking up an old-school Sony Mini DV camcorder if recording from mini DV tape to a DVD-R disc session) whereas the 160GB HDD version of the PSX doesn't have it period.

Just bought Gundemonium Collection on Steam, really nice games.

Plus some more Psikyo stuff: the Sengoku games and Gunspike.

That port of Sengoku Ace is great. I actually preferred it to the PCB-- mainly because of the controller options.

That's awesome. I just bought a bunch of poster frames this past weekend, but I hadn't figured out what to do with my flyers. That is exactly what I want. Did you have it professionally done or buy it from a store?

I've never fancied framing flyers but mounting a few like that looks cool. I have a few cab flyers here, Hmm..

For normal A4 flyers I frame them individually with store bought ones, these smaller A5 ones were a distinct set so I had the frame made (along with a bunch of Japanese B1 frames) by an online shop.

You'd need a bloody articulated lorry to hold a frame that long.
