..Been Awhile Since I Informed Y'all of the Pinball Related Goins' On At The Reciprocal...

yo, yo, yo... I've been completely slacking in my pinball updates, so i'm making a change for the better. from now on, i will continue to give you all a day-to-day (ok, maybe every few days) update of the machines in the shop, what's working, what's not, and what's driving me nuts in pinball fixin' land! also, i'll have announcements on players, high scores, and other notable things amongst the pinball community...

so, as some of you already know, i've picked up a bunch of new games recently. two of 'em are in the shop. those are 'terminator 3', and 'black rose', replacing 'dr. dude', and 'hurricane'.. of those 2, only terminator is up and running now, while i'm shopping black rose.... i'm expecting to have 'black rose' running in about a week from today..

i also got a 'starship troopers' and 'black hole', so expect to see those make an appearance, probably in a few months from now...

'doctor who', while playable, is having a small quirk where it sometimes gives you time expander points even though the mini-playfield isn't raised up yet, but i believe i've isolated the problem, have the parts, and will have it fixed any day now. meanwhile, it's completely playable as this happens infrequently..

check back in often, as i will continue to update and keep everyone informed as what's to play today...

FREE SKATE PRODUCT AT BRANDEN'S APT TODAY!!

Just knock on Branden's apt. door and tell him you're there to get 'hooked up'... Or even better, he really loves when you pretend you're with Con Edison, then when he comes downstairs in his yellowed tighty-whitey's, you say 'Bamm! You got punked.. Now gimme some trucks bitch!...'

He's got Thunder, Indy, Destructo, and Venture..

Many to choose from, all of which he's holding on to and dreaming of skating some day... but he's getting old, so he really doesn't need 'em.

Today Only..

Tommy trough issue is finally resolved! High scores on Tommy will be reset today for the first time since the game has been in the shop... Currently, the only non-default high score on the game is 'SJG' Sean Grant, with 749Mill...

Other current high scores are:
Dr. Dude - SSB, Steamin' Steve Bowden with 30.1 Mil
Creature - NIC, Nicola, who doesn't live here anymore, so everyone should be embarrassed of themselves, including me...

Dr. Dude is fixed and ready for play once again... Working on Tommy 'trough' problems 2nite, and should be fixed by 2moro...
