“Belsito is hunched over the game. He’s just shot the right orbit, and if he can hit all the major shots to fill Deadpool’s chimichanga punch card, he’ll be able to fight the T. rex for a chance to shoot the scoop and win the mode, bringing him one step closer to a Mechsuit Multiball. And then all hell will break loose—in the machine and on the scoreboard. He’s engaged in a rare three-way-tiebreaker to advance to the next round—one step closer to pinball glory, a championship belt, and $2,500. Ed Robertson of the Barenaked Ladies is helping with play-by-play commentary and the room smells a little like a middle school gym class.”

My inner (and outer) nerd loves everything about this paragraph. I’ve never played a Deadpool machine but with my moderate knowledge of the comic and my past experiences playing other pinball games I can imagine in my mind’s eye what the sequence looks like.

Kudos to Lindsey Quinn.
