Hard to believe it’s already time for another league night – the seventh of Season 4.  Here is the (very) tentative list of games (and a couple of notes about maintenance issues): Theatre of Magic: watch out for Midnight, because the magnet likes to drop the ball straight down the middle. World Cup Soccer The Addams…

It’s that time again (or at least it will be in about four hours): time for the sixth meeting of the fourth season of the League. Our benevolent pinball king, Matt P., tentatively selected the following games: Lord of the Rings Austin Powers Indiana Jones Getaway Attack from Mars (if more than 16 players show…

Tonight’s the night: the fifth meeting of the fourth season of the incomparable Lansing Pinball League!  Aaron is going to be running things again this time, as Matt is traveling during his Spring Break.  As for me, well, the saying among professors is that Spring Break is neither in spring nor a break.  In my case…

In just a few hours it will be time for the fourth meeting of Season 4, the halfway point of the season.  Last meeting saw an unprecedented number of players which led us to play five games instead of our usual four.  Matt has lined up four games for us to play with a fifth…

Tonight is the third meeting of our fourth season.  Some members of the league have barely recovered from the IFPA state championship in Grand Rapids on Saturday, but last meeting’s shakeups mean that no one can relax!  Matt’s random number generator managed to choose the exact same games this time as last (one of our league mathematicians, Joseph, tells…

It’s time for another League Night, the second of Season 4.  As usual, Matt has randomly chosen our games: The Simpsons Pinball Party. Arrrrghhhhhhhh…. World Cup Soccer. This one seems likely to get switched with something else, since recently the left flipper has not been staying upright when held. That’s fine; I’d hate to break…

Season 4 of the Lansing Pinball League starts tonight.  It’s traditional for any new addition to the Avenue’s games to be included in the next league night, and this time the new addition is Theatre of Magic.  ToM was my original favorite pinball game, back in the days before I discovered FunHouse, and it’s still…

It goes without saying (but I’m going to say it anyway) that tonight is going to be a very exciting league night.  It’s our final night of the season, and the points accrued by the end of this meeting will determine final standings.  There will be one more league night, but it will be our post-season,…

Tomorrow is meeting 7 of 8 for Season 3 of the Lansing Pinball League.  Time for us all to channel all of the stress and frustration of our daily existence into something positive: smacking the hell out of a steel ball and watching it violently collide with things.  Or maybe I’m revealing too much about myself. As…
