The Hall of Fame features 141 pinball machines in working order, available to play for just a few quarters, and if you're a pinball fan it looks like a must-see. I'm loving the idea of two-player pinball: it seems like a cross between air hockey and a typical pinball machine, with the object being to score on your opponent rather than just rack up points. This is just the kind of brain-melting mix of excess, shiny things, and noise that you'd want from a trip to Las Vegas. [Joystiq]

<![CDATA[Commenter Hall of Fame: 92BuickLeSabre]]> We're all gathered here today to award the Commenter Hall of Fame trophy to 92BuickLeSabre, who joins the ranks of homerjay, Pope John Peeps II and Strider as one of the best Giz commenters of all time. Although many of his posts are excellent, which is why we're giving him one of these things, he excels when it counts. Here's one of the best from April 1, T-Day:

You know, others may not like Mr. T, but let me tell you something. I learned a lot today.

I learned to stay in school, stay off drugs, stay in drugs, to pity the foolish, to listen to my mama, to eat right, to stand up to bullies, to maintain my independence, to share, to help others, and to limit my material consumption in light of growing economic inequality...and I'm sure even more lessons that will come to me like a light bulb or a brutal punch to the face when they are needed.

And where did I learn all of this? From Mr. T.

First name Mr., last name T.

So you can jibba jabba about Mr. T as much as you want, but for those that approached today with an open mind...and dare I say it, an open heart....well, there was a treasure hidden in this April Fool's Day spectacular.

A Treasure with a capital T.

Congrats Buick. Now don't get cocky and lose that drive to make good comments, or we'll have to revoke it and demand our five bucks back. [Image via 3wishes (NSFW)]

<![CDATA[Commenter Hall of Fame: Pope John Peeps II]]> It's been a while since we've done a hall of fame, but I think it's time to nominate Pope John Peeps II to our group of people at work with nothing better to do than to make comments on Gizmodo. Like the real Pope, the fake Pope comments on Gawker and Wonkette as well, curses a lot and says stuff like this:

Yah, but computing is no longer a game for pussies. It's a full-contact, balls-out, game for Spartans only. My computer cools itself by pumping my own blood through it's hottest zones. And I cool myself down by DRINKING FREON, MOTHERFUCKERS.

Congrats PJP. Hug it out.

<![CDATA[How to Comment: Commenter Hall of Fame]]> Joining our commenter hall of fame today is homerjay, who's made great comments for over a year now. The one that put him over the top was this, in the iPhone Sighting Video post:

Do you really think your iphone experience is going to be any different from this video? Its not like chicks are going to flock to you and you're gonna get a personal call from the president on it (not as glamorous as it used to sound). Its a phone. It'll ring. You'll look at it. You'll realize you don't want to talk to your ex-wife who you KNOW is just going to bitch. You'll put it back in your pocket.

Yay iPhone!!
