I examined video pinball at Costco so that you don’t need to
I don’t need to begin off the morning all damaging, however this must be addressed earlier than I overlook concerning the matter and considered one of you goes to Costco this week and makes a horrible determination to purchase the Star Wars video pinball unit the corporate is promoting for $699.
Please, for the love of God, take a look at the machine earlier than taking part in it so you possibly can see how huge of a waste of time the sport is and save your self $700. Go purchase a VR headset, purchase the golf sport and thank me later.
Monday night time, I used to be within the retailer with Screencaps the III and the machine caught my eye as a result of it was on an finish cap and I’m a sucker for pinball. The unit appears to be like cool, has respectable top and appears stable.
Then I began taking part in the rattling factor and IT WAS COMPLETE TRASH.
There’s zero really feel such as you’re really taking part in pinball. The unit doesn’t begin jerking round when the video ball begins bashing into the bumpers. I’m fairly certain there wasn’t some kind of faux feeling raging by your palms when the flippers hit the video ball.
Or don’t hearken to me and make a tragic enterprise determination. You make the decision.
I took one take a look at this listing and decided Screencaps readers ought to provide you with their very own listing to make use of when this colunn unleashes a publication
All of these sandwiches are from main metropolitan areas.
Now let’s do a sandwich listing for the remainder of America that these web sites all the time ignore. I’m alleged to imagine there are simply two sandwiches within the Midwest worthy of a spot on this listing and one is in Chiraq.
I’ll begin.
- Go to Zingerman’s Deli in Ann Arbor (#notsponsored) (belief me, it’s nice outdoors of the soccer program & Jim Harbaugh sharing the identical zip code).
- Learn the menu, determine what you’re feeling on that day, order and also you’re about to take pleasure in considered one of America’s finest sandwiches.
- The Sandwich of the Month, the O’Conner Bomber sounds unimaginable: Beef Brisket, New Mexico Fireplace-Roasted Chiles, housemade Roasted Crimson Peppers Sauce, Coleslaw and Cheddar on an additional grilled Paesano Roll from Zingerman’s Bakehouse.
What different sandwich store deserves to be on the Screencaps Finest Sandwiches in America listing and what are you consuming?

• Indy Daryl writes:
Thanks for all you do and the way you constantly hold knocking it out of the park! We have now typically solely performed rec league soccer for our children: one apply per week and one sport in spring and fall seasons. Sufficient to be taught some staff dynamics however nothing too loopy. That every one modified when my center schooler determined she needed to do observe the final two years and let me inform ya…. Ooofta…. 3 nights per week and rattling meets are lengthy!
When it comes to skilled athletes in a single metropolis at one time, Denver, Co had a good run… albeit two sports activities actually outshine the remaining, undoubtedly a attain for the NBA and MLB… however I believe it’s a good listing and I couldn’t let Steve Yzerman relaxation too straightforward!
John Elway – Broncos QB ‘83-‘98
Joe Sakic – Avalanche – ‘95-‘09
Patrick Roy – Avalanche – ‘95-‘03
Dikembe Mutombo – Nuggets – ‘91-‘96
Larry Walker – Rockies – ‘95-‘03
Todd Helton – Rockies – ‘97-‘13
• Eric in Colorado Springs echoed Indy Daryl’s response:
From a Denver perspective, the 90’s had been an excellent time, this one is simple:
John Elway/Terrell Davis – NFL
Joe Sakic/Peter Forsberg – NHL
Larry Walker/Todd Helton – MLB
Dikembe Mutombo – Actual Identify: Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo – NBA
All 7 performed in Denver on the identical time – Finest ever !!!!
BTW…Your column is superior !!! At all times the primary learn of the day.
Respect Summer time is the most effective
• John L. says:
I imagine that “Respect Summer time” will go down as considered one of your finest themes/matters for 2023.
In honor of it, I provide the next picture taken at the moment round 3 PM at Brant Level seaside. My canine Laddie is pondering no f***ing pumpkins right here–simply stress-free within the sunshine!

Completely disgusting habits this time of yr
• Anthony G. writes:
I’ve a neighbor who not solely disrespects the top of summer season, however your entire Fall season. They’ve a projector show on the storage door for the countdown to Christmas. It begins at 99 DAYS! So it began this previous Sunday, Sept 17. This has to cease. Now I purposely drive to the following entrance to our growth simply so I don’t see it.
Monday Evening Soccer intro quota system
• Greg B. writes:
I actually dig Chris Stapleton. The ability and rasp of his voice. His vary. His music writing. You hear considered one of his songs and it’s him.
Whereas not an enormous fan of rap (now known as hip-hop – undecided when the time period formally modified however I’m certain I’m exhibiting my age), I’ve obtained to confess that Snoop Canine is the epitome cool. He appears to have enjoyable with no matter he’s doing and may flex his fashion to enrich Martha Stewart, the Manning brothers, and different folks my daughter says are well-known however I’ve no clue who they’re.
All of that stated, the intro to MNF was an absolute fail! Phil Collins’ “Within the air tonight” wasn’t probably the most authentic selection, however it could have labored if the intro was cohesive. As an alternative, we had been subjected to a disjointed menagerie of musical genres.
The transition from Stapleton to Snoop again to Stapleton was simply plain bizarre. There was no circulation and, outdoors of my dislike of the montage, it wasn’t memorable. Hank Jr, Carrie Underwood, Religion Hill – now they’re memorable! Are you prepared for some soccer? A Monday Evening PARTY! Quick skirts slit all of the as much as hips with CFM boots (not Hank, after all). Now that’s how you can get issues rolling.
In attempting to pander to all demographics, ABC/ESPN appeals to nobody. Do an intro with simply Snoop. Subsequent week, do one with simply Stapleton. Decide another person for the next week. Simply make an effort to offer viewers cohesive leisure and cease worrying about showing numerous. Final time I checked, I didn’t see a lot range on the gridiron and I DON”T CARE.
I need to see the most effective athletes…interval.
The extra we make issues a quota system to make sure we don’t damage anybody’s emotions, the extra diluted the product turns into. I watch sports activities for leisure and as an escape from the absurdity of society and politics. Why does some media really feel the necessity to push this absurdity into leisure? In the event that they go too far, then I’ll as soon as once more vote with my pockets and time.
I’ve my work lower out for me in deciding on a deserving Payments Mafia member for the Labatt field
That is strain like what the Thursday Evening Mowing League commissioners will really feel when the league has to pick a 2023 Mower of the 12 months.
There are such a lot of Screencaps heavy-hitters who’re Payments followers. I’ll need to decide that may upset many hearts and minds. That’s simply the way it goes if you’re coping with America’s Finest Every day Column, as named by the readers. The cream rises to the highest and somebody has to win as a result of this rattling field isn’t staying on this home. I’m in liquidation mode.
A winner shall be notified at the moment. I need that field gone.
Siesta Key present
Give up jerkin’ round and provides me an app that doesn’t have MLB blackouts

And that’s a wrap on this mid-September Wednesday version. It’s been an unimaginable Respect Summer time run and now it will get even higher. It’s alleged to be like 82 and sunny round right here at the moment and all these native climate dorks who had been cheering on 65 and sunny are all of a sudden appearing like they Respect Summer time and so they’re cheering on 82 and sunny.
Deep down I do know they’re hoodie followers wishing away summer season and it’s disgusting.
Let’s hold the foot on the gasoline till Saturday morning. Don’t even consider making a Crock of chili till the calendar says it’s fall. You’re virtually there.
Have an unimaginable day.
