You gotta be kidding me! There's no way that any of my interests this far flung should ever be in the same orbit! The same SOLAR SYSTEM! Let's be clear, I DO NOT care about fashion. This is the only, and I mean THE ONLY, thing about fashion that I care about. So go figure, the ONLY thing fashion related that I'm into is also related to pinball. THIS IS A SIGN FROM THE UNIVERSE! I must be doing SOMETHING right!
From what I can tell, this is the 4th time that they've held this pinball mini-tournament. The only pins included are two modified Gottlieb Street Fighter II machines. One has been re-themed as an astronaut game called Flying Forward (which is also the motto of the brand). The other has been re-themed as a horror game called Attack of the Werewolf (the backglass has an awesome throwback to Haunted House!)
I'm hard-pressed to find out more info about the machines or the event since everything I've found is in French : ( From what I've seen, though, the machines look SUPER SLICK, and it looks like a TON of people attend these events. I can't get over how cool this is! Can more of my interests start intersecting with pinball?!? Biking + pinball? Comics + pinbal... oh wait! That's what we're doing!
Man, what an awesome promotional move! I wish more companies would create custom machines and then use them to hold tournaments promoting their brands. Hopefully some Nike ad exec will read this... :P
ReplyDeleteWeird photoshop on that first image. Where are their legs?
ReplyDeleteI don't know anything about those shoes. But those pins look cool.
Also, Skittles recently made a custom machine (a re-skinned Flash). Did you see that?
Ha ha, I didn't even notice their legs. It's pretty ironic actually... because they could have been wearing THE SHOES! I definitely didn't see the Skittles machine: Weird!
ReplyDeleteJust FYI: the Flying Forward one is for sale on french classifieds, in northern France. (1200 euros, not cheap for a SF2...)
