Back in the days before Youtube decided to ban me for daring to question the 2022 election the most popular Pintastic NE videos I had were all the various interviews with Todd Tuckey.

If you go to my rumble account and do a search for Todd Tuckey you will find interview after interview with Todd Tuckey at each Pintastic NE and once at his shop while I was passing through so there is a lot to choose from so for our final day before we visit Pintastic in its new location I have picked last year’s interview with Todd to showcase here.

His youtube chanel is legendary in pinball circles. His latest talks about his upcoming visit to Pintastic tomorrow. Here it is:

One of the sad things about my ban from youtube is that I couldn’t leave a comment to say that I’m looking forward to seeing him this week.

Back before I was banned the single most popular Pintastic NE video I had was this interview with pinball designer extraordinaire Steve Ritchie

In terms of Pinball Royalty you don’t get much higher than this pair.

I sat down for a long interview with Steve Ritchie Pinball designer extraordinaire at Pintastic NE 2022 day 1 in Sturbridge ma at the Sturbridge Host Hotel

The greatest thing about the man and this interview is the joy he clearly has in the hobby and the game that has no diminished over the decades.

Gabe noted I looked a tad tired as well. He must be right because I crashed in my room and slept like a log for 10 hours

I’ll be putting up individual posts of my interviews with Steve Ritchie and Todd Tuckey but lets close this post with the coolest image of the day

You don’t get cooler than a designer playing one of his own games
