Transfer is complete, that’s why you see https in your address bar. But the domain offers a lot more as far as security goes.
I am upgrading! So to make a very long story short, I am transferring my domain to Cloudflare registrar, they have offered me a bunch of stuff, including more security features. So expect some outages while everything is kind of up in the air as fas as updating goes.
See ya guys on the other side of this update!
Hi guys,I guess an update is warranted since I havent updated in almost a year (sorry about that.) Anyways though I am kind of back “on tour” and will be making an appearance at the first ever SPF (starfighters pinball festival) running from Feb. 4-7. For more information check our the starfighters arcade webpage at http://www.starfightersarcade.com
I will be streaming the event LIVE, hopefully you can join me on Twitch or come say hi LIVE. There are going to be over 150 pinball machines there and a host of pinball related activities.
Hope to see you guys there.

I know you guys are dying for an update, well I got one for you… Zapcon 2021 is cancelled because of current events happening in the world right now. We hope to return next year in all our glory.
In other news, I have posted the tournament schedule (yes starfighters arcade is still doing tournaments) they are up on the “Schedule of events” tab. Hopefully i will see some of you there.
I know you guys have been clamouring for an update so here goes.
Alot of news has happended over the course of this past year (which I know we would all like to forget.) So heres whats going on.
In my last update i was saying that the Twitch streams would be resuming, well that has changed, they will be resuming once a month on the starfightersarcade twitch channel,
I am perdicting (and this is not set in stone so things may change at any point in time) that it will be this way at least until December/Janurary, hopefully before then i can resume streaming from starfighters arcade.
Electric bat arcade has opened a new location, i think in Tuscon, AZ.
As far as I know unless I get any updates Cobra arcade has closed their doors again until further notice.
D&D pinball has closed their current shop… Hopefully they will be back again.
Welp I guess thats all I have for an update, stay tuned as I will update again as I get more news on events that have been cancelled/times changed. Be sure to look at my apparence page to see where I am going to be showing up, and that is updated regularily.
Hey, I know it’s been crazy in the real world and we’re all anxious to get back to the arcade to tune out for a bit. But I actually have some great news: I will press the play button on streaming pinball on Twitch! Details fourthcoming but I’m so excited to bring you guys content again! Visit me on twitch and enjoy brand new content!

Hello, I do have some news to share, let’s start off with some convention news.
GameON expo (GoE) has officially been cancelled, it was originally suppose to happen in August.
Good news for you arcade lovers. There have been some arcade reopenings, I will list them below
Starfighters arcade
Tilt studio
Level one arcade and bar
Hey, sorry for the late update, i will try to get more out there in a timely fashion. However the following events have been cancelled for the month of May:
Starfighters’ May pinball tournament
I know i should have posted earlier and i didnt realize the may tournament has already come and gone. Anyways though, there are certian events that i was scheduled to make an appearance at that are kind of in limbo but i am not expecting them to happen now. Also it looks like I wont be getting back to streaming pinball on location anytime soon, but thats out of my control odviously.
Frankly i am not holding out too much hope for the June-December tournaments at Starfighters Arcade. The arcade may be open in general but I dont expect any of the tournaments to happen for the rest of the year.
First of all, hope everyone is staying safe, and staying inside your home… If you are learning something new, then hopefully that is going well for you, also people who are cleaning up their houses/fixing up their games/etc. those things will pay off, in the sense that you will have done your spring cleaning early. If your out working, then please be careful.
Anyways though onto the meat of why i am posting…. Awhile ago (the end of March) I got a letter from the director of Play More Pinball in Arizona. Heres what she said.
Dear AZ Pinball Community,
I miss seeing your faces at our regular pinball events.
The IFPA updated their guidance regarding sanctioned events today to be suspended until further notice. Along with the AZ stay at home request from the Governor through April 30, at this time we expect no sanctioned competitive pinball events in April, 2020. https://www.ifpapinball.com/ifpa-sanctioned-events-suspended-until-further-notice/
Stay safe and healthy,
[redacted]
So the IFPA has suspended all their operations and sanctioning of tournaments for the foreseeable future. I have updated the revelant pages as I am going to ASSUME we will not have a may tournament, and June tournament will NOT be happening. Arcades/barcades/etc. should be open BUT the IFPA i am going to assume isn’t going to “flip a switch” and everything will come online at once. So like i said I have updated everything currently as of now. Some barcades (not locally sorry) have resorted to renting out their pinball machines. I am keeping an eye out on the Arizona pinball and classic arcade pages.
Hopefully this news will end up not being true and i wasted my time posting this but i fear thats what will happen.
