If anyone cares, Keith Elwin, the world champion pinball player in this video, has now become one of the best pinball machine designers in the world, for the pinball company Stern. So far, he has designed Iron Maiden, Jurassic Park, Avengers Infinity Quest, and Godzilla pinball machines, widely considered some of the best games available. That's as of Spring 2022; more to come in the future.
That's where I heard that name. Stern has lead in the current market but I'm not a fan of everything. If I get replays on the machines I'm happy. Otherwise I don't think a game is great.
I'm not half or even as third or a quarter a good as Keith Elwin, but when I play pinball, people's jaws drop. I have to correct people when they use the 'pinball wizard' honorific at me, but it just goes to show what a unique skillset this game requires. It's the Chess of the videogame world, if that makes sense. There are very few arcade games left when you can go fifteen minutes on fifty cents and have people jumping up and down alongside you, and that's something that pinball will have forever.
3 years later, yeah I finally showed up. Take a good look at my T-shirt: facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=419619925151480&set=picfp.100013104288565&type=3&theater
KWE is a bum! slamtilt from rec.games.pinball It's no secret when you see the 3 initials on a pinball machine "FUK" or thee immortal FUK is yours truly one and the same.

It's a load of horseshit, not only am I the best who ever plays/played a pinball machine I'm also the self-professed best in any sport of all times. Yeah not just G.O.A.T but the greatest who ever played any sport of all time. Don't listen to this horseshit, yeah we all remember Keith with his stupid comments on rec.games.pinball as "slamtilt" talking about me Tommy TUTALIDGE. Here's the real Tommy me: facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=419619925151480&set=picfp.100013104288565&type=3&theater
Actually, for a weekends work, it's not bad. A major pinball tournament is played over 3 days, staring on Friday qualifying. Then saturday trying to get into to 16. Then sunday Finals, if you get there, going all the way. Not an easy task. A battle long fought.

This is the first time I've seen unbiased coverage by CNN in years. Well done.
1:44 - Pro pinball footwear.
Its 2am. Its 2024. Why the fuck am i here. Where the fuck is Keith. What the fuckedy fuck is going ON.
I want to be a pinball wizard like this guy

The kid on Are You Afraid Of The Dark is the goat!
Keith Elwin is king!
It is absolutely amazing that video does not have musical background of "Pinball wizard" from Who's Tommy!.
Tommy?... Is that you?

Can CNN go back to doing useful and interesting things like this again?
Im not going to disagree with how interesting this is but it’s definitely not useful
It's no secret when you see the 3 initials on a pinball machine "FUK" or thee immortal FUK is yours truly one and the same.
I am disappointed in the shockingly low number of pinball wizard references in this comment section.
That would be me in my prime.
A true pinball wizard
Great #pinball #arcade coverage!
Remember me Keith? No where to run no where to hide on the Checkpoint pinball machine. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Tommy TUTALIDGE.

my uncle makes pinball machines out of boxwood.
Why do you guys always wreck the locks on the coin doors ? A skeleton key will open any of those y11 cylinders!
I'm up for a challenge.. bring your money..
Better than Tommy
$10,000 is weak
That's what makes it wholesome.
