Lets chat about the recent health news…

Hello, I normally dont post my feelings on this site cause i dont want it to turn into a blog, but i feel i have to actually sit down and type to you guys.

 

The main topic that has come up in discord…  with all these events being postponed/canceclled.  am I going to keep doing arcade streams from Starfighters arcade?  I dont see the reason why i shouldnt…  arcades by their very nature are tactile and you are touching buttons that literally have been touched by hundreds of people, from kids with cheeto hands to adults that might have been coughing all over themselves (hey wash your hands people) so like I said, I dont see the reason why i shouldnt cancel my location streams, unless i feel the hint of me not feeling well.  I know this thing has got us all on edge, and i realize im taking a small risk by doing location streams, but honestly pinball is how i escape from the world of being in crisis mode, and doom and gloom, and seeing events being cancelled etc.  I am watching Facebook for any updates and i will bring them to you (the ones that affect my stream) as soon as i get them.   I have trusted sources and i do consule with them daily on what should be done, and they have advised me to keep streaming, but just to smile and say “good game” afterwards, not give anyone a handshake or whatever while i am doing that.

What am I doing:  Well, i am going to keep living my life, just I am going to be cautious in what i am doing that includes washing my hands frequently, having hand sanitizer on hand and use it whenever i am done playing a game (afterall literally hundreds of hands have been on games before me), using my hands so games dont tear up my hands.  wearing my fingerless gloves to minimise the risk even more, and to prevent myself from not tearing my hands up.

 

So thats what is going to be done, remember to wash your hands, stay healthy out there, but dont go into panic/hermit mode (unless you arent feeling well) so lets do this right.

 

be sure to visit my stream page for more arcadey streams happening everyother Sunday from 3/14/2020.

Zapcon 8 appearance — CANCELLED

Posted by Joe on 03/12/2020
Posted in: Arcade and pinball news.

Hey guys,

Zapcon is officially not happening, the event has been cancelled for this year.  Heres the official statement from their Facebook page.

 

“…the City of Mesa announced they are closing the Mesa Convention Center through April 30, 2020. This means that Zapcon 8, scheduled for April 25-26th, 2020, is cancelled.

Unfortunately, we don’t see any viable rescheduling options for this year, and will be turning our attention towards coming back better than ever in 2021. While it saddens us that we won’t be able to put on a great show for you this year, this is clearly the correct decision given the severity of the current situation and the risks that would be associated with the show at this time.

We are ever grateful for the tremendous support we’ve received from the entire community over the life of our show. Zapcon doesn’t exist without the support of the contributors, the vendors, the volunteers, and our attendees. We want to thank you for your past and continued support.”

Well, Zapcon is done and over with.  I would like to thank everyone who watched the starfighters twitch page for the tournament, also everyone who particilated in Sundays “Spiderman challenge” that was interesting and fun to watch people play, basically that was if you got 30 mil (10 mil for kids) you got a free day pass to Starfighters arcade any day you wanted!  I would also like to mention that I met imoto arcade over there as well, and she took pics of my streaming setup and stuff like that to hopefully be used in her latest documentary on the event itself.
