Undoubtably you may have noticed that at Orange we have taken a liking to pinball with the machines in the studio and with the work we’ve done supporting Project Pinball and other pinball related charities.  This week two of us were on hand at Pinball Expo and get a VIP tour of the Stern Pinball factory as a kick off to the annual trade show and expo.

Below are some photos of the Game of Thrones pinball release party as well as the Flip Off PAPA Circuit tournament and shots around the event as a whole (view the full gallery here).  Surprisingly enough I was able to make my best placing ever and ended up tied in 5th playing with some of the world’s top players!

And if you are in the San Francisco Bay Area, the Game of Thrones pinball launch party is this coming Sunday Oct 25th at 2:00pm at Gestalt!
