You want the truth? YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH. we played (and won) the 2d con pinball tournament, then peeled back the top layer of one of the best cons in the country to see what else goes on where the sun don’t shine.

Go where we went from the safety of your own computer or phone or phone/computer combo. Link in bio.

For years we’ve seen the connection between skate culture and pinball, but it’s never come together this frickin hard. is a historic skate spot that has also historically had a lil arcade action on the side — but had neglected pinball until recently.

These days? You can shred, sprain a wrist, and then play from your pic of 10 classics and 90s bangers. Rick Brewster is here to give you the lowdown on the best spot for slackers, sk8heads and pinfreaks. Link in da bio.

A skate park with a pinball bar? Aren't they afraid all the do-nothings and slouchers are gonna mob the place???

We sent Rick Brewster in to 3rd Lair to see how the skate park/arcade combo is working out on the eve of their first tourney.

Did you know it's a hundred times more likely you'll play in the NBA than become a pinball restoration artist? Well you do now. We tracked down someone who has one of the most elusive jobs in pinball and made them TELL ALL SECRETS. Ashley Ludwig is the bomb.

Oh, and single issues of Nudge 5 now on sale till the end of the month!

It's a hundo times more likely to be in the NBA than to have this job. Crazy.
