Before we got anywhere, we ran into Joe Kaminkow, who was dropping by in between flights as well. John the took me to the back of the factory he showed me Stern woodshop. Here they are cutting their own playfields. The screen printing is still done by a third party, but the clear coating is again done inhouse at Stern. John pointed to a brand new CNC router they bought recently.
Having their own wood shop allows Stern but control their playfield supplies more than previously, when they had to order playfields from third parties. When we walked back to the offices, John showed me some new T-Shirts that just were being stocked in the parts department. There are various new models, which became clear when I returned to the Dead Flip stream.
The Chicago division of Belles and Chimes was playing the game, and each member was wearing one of the various new Stern T-Shirts. Those visiting Stern during the upcoming Pinball Expo tour will be able to choose between a nice variety of shirt designs. After a rather boring four and a half-hour flight to Vancouver, I arrived at the airport a little over 10 PM.
Tommy Floyd was there to pick me up, and he was in the company of Mike Kalinowski of Homepin, who had arrived two hours earlier. Martin Ayub of Pinball News was flying in half an hour after me, and we decided to find a bar to kill time. By the time we left the bar, Martin had already landed and taken a cab to his hotel. The hotel is behind Granville street, which is where lots of bars and clubs are located. At the Roundhouse, set up was in progress, and I helped with setting up games, aligning rows of games and such. I was surprised to see a large number of electromechanical games, at least one and a half row of games, out f roughly five rows of games.
Later some very nice woodrails were set up to increase the number of games. Homepin Mike and I quickly discovered the organic Urban Fare supermarket across the street that also served very decent breakfast and dinner meals.
Thursday evening the first tournament players started qualifying while set up outside the tournament area was still in progress. A very nice touch worth mentioning are the various banners that were made and applied as decals to various walls to decorate the registration desk, show the seminar program, and indicate which vendors were located where.
It gave the show floor a very professional look. Friday morning started with breakfast at the organic supermarket. I had shipped three boxes of Pinball Magazine No. I had made a list of copies to hand out to people and advertisers featured in the magazine, and while doing that, I took pictures with them for promotional purposes as well. By now all the VIPs had arrived, all familiar faces, which always involves a little catching up with everybody when you run into them.
The party was sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon, so there was plenty of beer available. As the table with DJ gear was rather low, I figured it would make sense to set the DJ controller and laptop on two packs of PBR cans, which worked out very well. In between songs, Tommy Floyd would raffle off prizes, and after that, there were plenty of Pabst goodies available for everybody in the room. Antoinette Johnson and Jack Danger rocked the dancefloor.
Antoinette Johnson did a small surprise performance by singing a song from The little Mermaid acapella, showing that she also has a very good voice as well. This is an upright game similar to Ice Cold Beer, where the player has to use two joysticks to raise a metal bar with a ball on it to guide the ball through a maze of holes. There are ten holes where the ball is supposed to fall into, each one more higher up the playfield. After dropping the ball in such hole the player starts again at the bottom of the playfield.
When I noticed Robert playing, he already went up to level 10 three or four times and rolled the 4-digit scoring on the game also several times.
Mafia Magazine is a new edition to the Hip-Hop publications that have come out over the pass few years, but Mafia Magazine has one thing that most of those. DOWNLOAD MAFIA MAGAZINE MAFIA MAGAZINE SEPTEMBER ISSUE VOLUME 9 mafia magazine mafia magazine pdf. The Sicilian Mafia, also known as.
Robert would continue to play the game until the venue closed. He absolutely destroyed the game with over ten times completing level 10 and scoring over 50, points. Saturday was the seminar day at Vancouver Flip Out. These seminars were held in the same room as the VIP party the night before.
As it turns out the room has a foldout tribune in the back. I had never seen anything like that, and I found it a very clever solution. The seminar program started with free pizza for everybody. After that everybody got seated and Joe Balcer kicked off the first seminar, accompanied by Nirmal Vasani of American Pinball.
Joe talked about how he got started in the industry as a mechanical engineer and became a game designer at Data East. He discussed how he got hired by American Pinball in and took the existing Houdini layout and changed the playfield drastically into the current one. At the end of the seminar, Joe discussed his upcoming second game for American Pinball. Not only did he confirm the long-time rumored Oktoberfest theme, but e also showed some black and white images of details of the game.
The game will be family friendly. One of the characters in the game is named Otto, of which an image was shown as well. The second seminar of the day had Mike Kalinowski of Homepin discuss how he got into pinball, and into pinball manufacturing. He discussed the long and rocky road he traveled in the development of Thunderbirds.
He mentioned a second game is in the works, which is intended to aim at the Chinese market. The game will have a familiar, unlicensed theme that may also work in the Western world. Butch was mostly operating the slideshow while Jack commented on the photos shown. Many of these showed Jack at various pinball shows all over the world with distributors and customers. At the beginning of his seminar, Jack also gave a nice plug to Pinball Magazine for being such a hefty publication.
Saturday evening Tommy took all the special guests that were still around to a nearby restaurant for a nice dinner. Following that six of us got in a cab to visit Bill Brandes, who lives in Vancouver and has a very nice collection of pinball games in pristine condition. Sunday morning I wrote most of this report and arrived around noon at the Roundhouse.
To my surprise the Sunday at Vancouver Flip Out turned out to be the busiest day of them all. Up to 4 PM every available game was occupied most of the time. Sunday evening at 6: I helped packing up games until This was the first time the Vancouver Flip Out was held at the Roundhouse, but the location was absolutely great.
From what I hear the turnout was great, so hopefully the event will be back at the Roundhouse next year. I look forward to coming back to this event in years to come. This year, Philip Murphy initiated a new pinball show in the same venue that hosted the previous event.
The hotel had changed ownership again, and had seen some improvements, but was otherwise still very familiar. This session was only accessible for those who bought a VIP package. The setup of the show was similar to the UK Pinball Party: For many attending the show, it may have been their first chance to play games like Iron Maiden, Houdini, Thunderbirds, The Mafia, Pirates of the Caribbean and other recent titles.
Homepin owner Mike Kalinowski was a special guest at the show, as were the three team members of Team Pinball and the Pinnovation team from The Netherlands. The last game uses a modified World Cup Soccer playfield with additional shots and all new artwork, an LCD in the backbox as well as a dotmatrix display.
During the weekend three seminars were held, in which all three of the parties mentioned above explained what they have been working on so far.
Saturday morning the show opened at Most games had been brought in on Friday, but Saturday morning some more were added to the lineup. The number of games was more than the conference room could hold, so about six were set up in an adjacent corridor. The total number of games was , although 24 were reserved for the tournaments. The variety of games was interesting. Aside from the games reserved for the tournaments, all other games were available to all visitors to play. In the afternoon Team Pinball and Pinnovating each hosted a seminar of their own, which were very well attended.
Team Pinball explained how they got together at a different company, which they left over two years ago. Since then they rented a working space in Cardiff where they developed their first game: They also explained what they wanted to achieve with the game and why they chose the Mafia as a theme. Later in the afternoon, Gerard van de Sanden started off the Pinnovating seminar, explaining how he also had a dream of owning a pinball museum.
Gerard also figured Johnny Mnemonic would be a good game to retheme as The Matrix. Unable to build such a game himself, he looked for talented people to take over certain tasks.
During the weekend three seminars were held, in which all three of the parties mentioned above explained what they have been working on so far. News from Pinball Magazine Feature article. Fight or Die Butch was mostly operating the slideshow while Jack commented on the photos shown. Inside the Mafia 5. The seminars were streamed live and recorded by Pinball Live for YouTube so that you can watch them at a later time.
That worked, and The Matrix is one of the custom games that can be found in the Dutch Pinball Museum. Dennis van der Pas then explained how he started working on writing new code for Demolition Man using the P-Roc system. Dennis showed with the glass removed how one of the modes is supposed to be played.
The seminars were streamed live and recorded by Pinball Live for YouTube so that you can watch them at a later time. Hence several people just ordered food to be delivered to the hotel. The Saturday session closed at the end of the afternoon, but there was another VIP session in the evening hours until midnight.
The Sunday saw a seminar by Homepin owner Mike Kalinowski discussing the making of Thunderbirds and the numerous setbacks he and his team ran into the past five years. Meanwhile, the advanced rounds of the tournaments were played, which actually ran until after the show ended at While many of the games were already being taken down the finals were still being played.
In the evening, while many of the games that were at the show were making their way home, the crew that organized the show had time to sit down and have a few drinks and pizzas following a very successful first edition of UK Pinfest.
