Digital Pinball: Necronomicon is far more fun than it has any right to be. Also, I'd love to know how they got a dude from Dream Theater to do the music.
Anyway, got the final mode on the Dreamlands table. Six ball multiball. Quite fun.

Now it says "about 18 hours", but it's been going for 20 hours already with no change to the estimate.
But by my math, it looks like it'll take around 56 hours. So...it's a good thing I don't have to baby sit it.

Bad idea for a documentary: track down as many of the winners of the Megaman Boss character contests as you can. Interview them about their childhood drawing techniques.

Got bored and parsed out all the data I could find on archive.org and turned it into a nice HTML table. It looks like there's at least 99 games that got the "Approved" seal. There's also a fair few with no recommendation, which is weird.

Dumb idea: hack a D&D pinball machine to use TNG Worf lines instead of the ones Michael Dorn recorded.
"Today is a good day to die" wouldn't be a bad call out for a Dragon, just saying.

Any amateur etymologists out there? Does "fit" in the modern use come from a truncation of the word "outfit" or from the concept of how well clothes can be fitted, as if tailored for the wearer specifically?

"I'll double your hand size" is one of the callouts in the X-Men pinball machine. Are there any games where suddenly doubling the number of cards you can hold would be a negative thing?

Ran into an X-Men with a freshly reset high score table. There’s something hilarious about getting like 10 high scores all at once.
Also, you can farm the top three places for extra credits. It’s nice.
