    So, in 1984, that young exec was bragging to his former frat brothers about how he makes more money than God, spends it all on blow, and has a sweet new boobie-phone.

    Anyone else find it ironic that this product can be ordered from a company based out of Mission, Kansas? #theeroticaphone

    I think it'd provide aural sex rather than oral sex.

    I'm surprised that it only plugs into the wall and doesn't let you plug-in. #theeroticaphone

    wait wait wait... this thing has been around for a while now. so what's up with the rumor shot for a picture? (pixelated, blurry, inconclusive.... I could go on). I guess it adds to the excitement!

    what's a CHRISTMAS gram?! I want one!! #digitalpinball

    And to be quite frank, $6k isn't much more than a brand new real pin. Only, that pin will have both the real flawed physics but only play one game...

    Unless you have Shrek or Family guy, as it's the same damn pinball machine rebranded... #digitalpinball

    Pinball machines, especially classic ones, are harder and harder to find. SO I will occasionally bust out pinmame to play.

    But, I also have a full-size twilight-zone machine behind me.

    I can honestly say that I have considered building a pinmame cabinet out of a 32" or so display. #digitalpinball

    I LOVE pinball and probably always will. I've played digital pinball games just for the hell of it, but they just don't hold your attention or have the same feel as a "real" machine. Pretty much the same as a digital comic book (or the new ones with glossy paper for that matter). #digitalpinball

    @HighOctaneX: Medieval Madness actually kind of blows. The only reason the game is popular, is because it resonates with scifi geeks. Oh, and it had a low number of machines manufactured. #digitalpinball

    @Lite: hates Illinois Nazis: I do believe that to be an opinion. Especially, in my opinion, it is the best damn pinball machine I have ever played.
    Also, it has nothing to do with SciFi, it has everything to do with medieval times...and barn yard madness. :p #digitalpinball

    @HighOctaneX: ScienceFiction/Fantasy are genres that tend to crossbreed. Thus why it fits.

    But, you go ahead and do that. If you go talk to well respected pinball fanatics, they'll disagree with you. However, a company in Australia is trying to reproduce the Medieval Madness pin to cash in on the popularity of what is basically a rare pin. #digitalpinball

    @Lite: hates Illinois Nazis: Well, based off the fact that it rates 3rd with a score of 8.4/10...I would say that your "well respected pinball fanatics" would disagree with you.

    Ugh... There's no way this is any good. There's nothing like the feeling and sounds of a weighty iron ball smashing into things. There are some things you just can't reproduce digitally. #digitalpinball

    I've got a Blackhole pinball machine and I'll tell you there is no substitute for the real thing, period.

    Gonna sound like one of those curmudgeons but some things were better in the old days ;)
