It's not just me. I was thinking of putting a tabletop classic pac-man game in place of a dining room table, because I'm a boy, and I bopped onto ebay to see if my pinball machine showed up. A bit of simple net research later and I realized that my love for the XENON pinball machine was hardly unique - in fact it is a source of many net sites, including information about the woman who put together the sexy voices for the thing! I was wrong - I thought the cross-the-playfield tube was the unique aspect of the game, in fact most people credit that alluring voice as the first use of such a synthesizer in a video game.

I just downloaded a video on the making of the sounds by Suzanna Ciani. It's SPOOKY hearing her voice and seeing her compose the thing. The video is a serious old-school synth hard-on for you synthy types. I don't know what language it is in, but you can skip around to just watch the parts where sounds are played with on ancient equipment. She totally works like a phone-sex operator.

No, this is not helping get my paper done. But I now own a video on the making of the sex-sounds for the 1980 pinball machine that sits in my living room. I feel like I should offer up a site on my pinball machine - I love reading about it on-line, and could offer pics to others through the web. It's a strange sort of urge to share that joy.

I love xenon, pinbot, and the bride of pinbot. I'm also jealous but putting a pinball machine in my apartment would be impossible and way to noisy for the neighbors..

I've always wondered how I could pay you back a little for all those pictures, since I can't ply you with drinks. Perhaps pinball is the answer! Mi casa es tu arcade?

Hey, at some point that sounds like fun...We should drag Michelle up from florida for a game or two at some point... Well, she has to have an excuse for coming up to visit at some point... If you ever have a party at your house invite me, I would enjoy hanging out playing and watching others play, and of course taking pictures of people playing but thats just me. Cheating by blinding them. Hope turkey day is going well. Putz
PS I'd still be asleep but my ex, the little dance maniac Sara, woke me this morning and I can't seem to go back to sleep.
