Just to say, thanks for your Cactus Canyon Remake video 😍


The rules explanation was really helpful for preparing for the Medway Pinball league meet-up yesterday 😍

Controversially, I don't like Cactus Canyon a whole lot 😈 My husband put it well when he said it's a pin that encourages 'noodling' (or 'pootling') around. It doesn't punish you for flinging the ball around in an un-targeted fashion, so it doesn't feel like there are enough consequences to maintain tension/stay interesting - if that makes any sense. The one at Medway Pinball Club (Mike's, I think) compounds this issue (for me anyway) because the yellow rubbers - which I don't know if they're stock - have no bounce whatever, so you can bring the ball to a dead stop even when it's tearing down the playfield.

I can imagine a really good player (of which I'm not one) would find it even more unsatisfying, although I'm open to having my mind changed :)

You're very welcome Vee
 
Looking like you are getting the hang of the Walking Dead now, near 20mins gameplay.

Have you now started a business buying, hiring, repairing and restoring Pins ?

No mate.

It's a directory site for everyone in UK Pinball. It's not finished or even close.

I'll be linking in restorations, a club location Google map, London Pinball, all Pinball repairs, all loan pins, Pinball Heaven, pinfest, competitions....

Basically anyone who wants a page gets one made.

Gents, great video.
Was a little dissapointed in the alcohol consumption though. Still on 1st pint... Spencer probably necked a bottle of JD in that time behind the camera....lol
