So I've had an idea in the back of my head for a while now.
One of my favorite pastimes is playing pinball on location. Another one of my favorite pastimes is watching people play video games and pinball. Pinball is seeing a major resurgence in the US and it's better than it has been in the last 10 years. So I figured I'd share my love of the game with not just myself, but with everyone I watch and enjoy.
I may be doing the first tests for the show right here on YouChew with forum members. Each episode will contain one random guest (I'll be choosing people here for the test run, but expect a post to RT on Twitter once the series picks up momentum) and be recorded live. Because I don't have the time or money to record a stream on location of actual pinball, I'm primarily going to be using Pinball Arcade and Zen Pinball 2 as gameplay material (they're available on tons of platforms so you shouldn't have too much trouble finding them). Not only are they going to help boost the popularity of pinball, but they may also boost the popularity of my collaborator's channel if they have one.
The only problem I have is how not to push myself to the audience watching. Even though I love getting people excited I don't want to force myself upon my viewers. I may have a bit of trouble not doing that as the series starts, but I'm sure I'll grow accustomed to it as time goes on. I just may need a bit of help with that.
So, with all said and done, post in the comments of the blog with your Skype name if you want to be on the first episode. The game I'm planning to play first on the show is Sorcerer's Lair, a free Zen Pinball 2 table that comes with the game when you download it. Later tables have to be purchased.
I hope this series turns out to be a success and I hope everything turns out well.
