The countdown is on! We can't wait to celebrate with all of our Charter Members.

Buffet begins at 5:00 PM and fresh food will be served throughout the evening.

Our private event room has been reserved exclusively for Charter Members, complete with its own private bar, so we'll have plenty of space to relax, eat, play, and celebrate together.

Don't forget to wear your Charter Member T-shirt! We'll be taking group and solo photos of everyone together to mark the occasion. It's a milestone we want to remember.

Can't make it? We understand that life happens.

Anyone unable to attend will receive 5 X complimentary admissions, and 5 X complimentary +1 admissions to Experience Social that can be used any time, with no expiry. We want every Charter Member to receive the value they signed up for, whether you're able to join us that night or not.

Thank you all for believing in us from the beginning. This evening is our chance to celebrate the amazing community we've built together.

This week shall see a human champion crowned victorius!

A message from the Wizard...

It has come to my attention that I may have been... somewhat overenthusiastic... when weaving the Talismanic Energies into the new Medicated Visions shirt.

As Fate would have it, Led Zeppelin was playing in the workshop, and somewhere during a particularly Spirited Guitar Solo, the Spell escaped its intended bounds. The whole affair began to resemble Mickey's scene with the overworked broomsticks from Fantasia. In hindsight, perhaps I should have turned the volume down.

For this, I accept partial responsibility.

In my defence, it was a ripping Solo, and one does not simply 'turn down the volume' during a Page Solo. One should expect a triffle more of one's Well Learned Politesse would be Exorcised.

Last week's Duel was swept away by Rain, a Mighty Storm, and a Power Outage before a Mortal Champion could be Crowned.

Thus, by decree of fate, Sea Witch claims the First Laurels.

The Enchantments have since been recalibrated to a more reasonable level, and this week the Stars Align once more. The Rematch shall be settled not by Thunder... but by Mortal Flipper Fingers.

On these very two Classic Sterns.

SEA WITCH: "The Heavens themselves did Loose their Wrath, and by the Tempest's Hand I was Proclaimed Victorious."

STARGAZER: "Boast not of borrowed Thunder, Sea-Born Sorceress. When Skies grow still, the Stars shall Align in My Favour."

Yesterday’s storm left many Ottawa homes with flooded basements and water damage. Our thoughts are with everyone dealing with the cleanup.

If your basement contained a pinball machine, arcade game, jukebox, or other coin-operated equipment, don’t assume it’s a total loss… but don’t plug it in.

That advice actually applies to any electrical equipment that has been exposed to flooding or significant moisture. Water damage isn’t always obvious. Moisture trapped inside electronics can lead to corrosion, mold growth, hidden electrical damage, and serious shock or fire hazards. Attempting to power up affected equipment can be dangerous and may turn something repairable into a much more expensive repair, or even a total loss.

When it comes to pinball and arcade equipment, Pinball Medics can help with:

• Insurance appraisals
• Damage assessments
• Professional restoration and repair
• Replacement options when a machine cannot be economically repaired

Pinball Medics is partnered with Player One Amusement Group, the largest amusement distributor in Canada, and between their massive inventory of new machines, and the massive collection of Classic games at Pinball Medics, we are uniquely positioned to offer the best and fastest replacement options available to Canadian owners everywhere.

What makes us uniquely qualified is the combination of two specialized fields.

Owner Mike Loftus brings extensive professional experience in water damage restoration, mold remediation, and insurance loss assessment. Combined with the decades of technical expertise at Pinball Medics, we provide a level of expertise few companies can offer when it comes to evaluating, repairing, or replacing flood-damaged pinball and arcade equipment.

If your collection was affected by yesterday’s flooding, or you know someone whose machines were, contact us before attempting to power them on. A proper assessment early in the process can protect your safety, improve the chances of a successful restoration, and provide the documentation your insurance company may require.

Stay safe, Ottawa, and best wishes to everyone affected by the flooding.
