Think this format works quite well, is interesting to hear that some people prefer theme over gameplay when deciding on what pin to buy. Also seems to be a lot of new machine preference over old in the episodes so far!
Neil, Gonzo, loved that 
Another good one
Fantastic episode tonight with Neil. This will be my 3rd Pinfest, and I usually go with a mate, but due to him being out of the country, this year I'm going solo. We always drink loads, play loads of pins and have a great time. But Neil mentioned that it's the people that make it, and he's right.
I've been lucky enough to have brief chats with Neil, Big Phil, Dutch Pinball guys, and NLP lads. This year I intend to spend more time talking to the people at the show as it really is the best part. I'll be the fat, bald, weirdy beardy clutching a Guinness and coming last in all the tournaments. See you there

I really enjoyed that episode! Great work 
Enjoyed the Neil EP, even if I got drawn in by talk of Lawlor which didn't materialise, though Neil's confused expression when Gonzo mentioned a question about Pat Lawlor was worth it
Realised I missed the third episode so I'm looking forward to checking that out tomorrow!

Just caught up with episode four. Thank you, it was thoroughly entertaining. I would definitely agree with Neil's point that it's the people that make the scene what it is, the games are just secondary.
Right onto episode five.
Right onto episode five.
Terrific episode. Craig really knows his stuff and is a fantastic ambassador for the competitive scene. Well done both!

Excellent episiode! +1 on Flash Gordon Craig!
Great episode guys. Can't believe you could get pinball machines for £150. I spent over £700 recently on just a topper.
I promise to try an EM based game while at Pinfest but i'm for Toys and large flashing lights so I still think I'll only ever own DMD era onwards.

Also for those of you who are new to all the competitive stuff or perhaps interested in going down the rabbit hole, or maybe just intrigued to have a look at the things I was banging on about.

Try an SS - games you should absolutely try at UKPinfest:
Swords of Fury
Strikes and Spares
TNA (LOL)
Medusa
Robocop
Farfalla
Banzai Run
Genie
Fathom
Meteor
but none of them are terrible they are all just different flavours of heat on a big choice of curries!
Robocop is an absolute gem. Such a simple and basic games from a rules perspective but so satisfying to play. A ripped fully lit spinner shot and of course the jump ramp are awesome shots
I play Robocop the most in my line up, it’s a one more game pin even when it kicks your backside.
Couldn’t agree more with the above, also sound and lighting are brilliant.

Great episode @Gonzo and @roadshow16
Really enjoyed hearing of stories before this hobby went crazy!

Great episode!
Being on here only a couple of years I didn't know @roadshow16 was Craig! (I've seen videos from tournaments and was at ukpinfest 2019 and found the top players fascinating to watch
).
Always wondered who the guy with the awesome username is, glad someone else loved Road show and still does!
Best game ever
I'm going to enter the competition just to get involved and have the experience, looking forward to it! My girlfriend @Lecari wonders if you offer coaching or tips

I didn't know who Craig was either which made it all the more fascinating to be honest and I was left with a load more questions.
This whole process is a real voyage of discovery into the pinball world . . . . I get the impression I'm just scratching the surface.
Speaking to competition players hadn't even occurred to me but there are so many facets to the hobby it's unbelievable. Newbies, veterans, collectors, players, restorers, club & event organisers and even Andy. It's amazing how many different elements there are.
Definitely! It would be great if you could talk to some of the folks who do pinball restoration or repairs and some of the interesting stories.
Obviously I'm biased and reccomend @MajesticPinball if he's about.. At least you'll get some Gottlieb representation
