A few minutes too slow. Is there room for more pinball tables? Just saw this announced and now eagerly awaiting chinkface photos over the $13k deluxe Uncanny Ex-Man machine.

I love the way he says 'I own'. Usually, a married couple say 'we own'. And let's be real, what John has actually paid for in that house would fit in a 10' x 8' storage unit.

I know I've commented on this before, but I still find John's pinball fixation utterly ridiculous. I'm no aficionado myself, but to me, there's not really a meaningful difference between different pinball tables beyond the imagery. Sure, there might be some different gimmicks that do something neat, but in the end, you're just hitting a metal ball at targets to score points no matter what table you're playing on. (I'm sure that opinion will make true connoisseurs faint.) In that regard, even if I were going to drop a few thousand dollars on a pinball table so I could play to my heart's content, I can't imagine needing more than one. Not to mention the fact you'd have to play thousands of games before you break even, so you're certainly not saving money in the long term, especially after factoring in maintenance costs. Even if you're playing it five times a day every single day, a $10k table would take you five and a half years, assuming $1/game, and I'd be pretty sick of pinball long before that.
But John buying nearly a dozen of them with Frank's money when he's the only one who's going to play them is just absurd. Nobody plays so much pinball that they need that many tables to rotate through, and if they do then they need help. John's only reason for buying these is because it's yet another way he can flex on the poors.

Pinball connoisseurs certainly exist, as evidenced by the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas (an absolute must see once you get sick of losing at the casinos). The issue is John is not one of them. He's cosplaying as one, because 1) it's a geeky hobby tangentially related to videogames and 2) it's a fantastically expensive hobby, as the purchase cost and maintenance of even a single pinball machine is substantial. It's part of his lolsoquirky geekgirl persona and an extravagant display of how much disposable cash he's got access to.
It's one more sin to lay at Frank's feet, since he's obviously the only one who could finance this (unless John embezzled funds from his abortive Congressional campaign, which I would only doubt because he's too stupid to do so effectively).

Wu's pinball obsession follows the same trajectory as Wu's car obsession. She bought the first Star Trek TNG pinball machine, it turned out to be a lemon, then pivoted in to buying huge numbers of brand new machines. Same with the original Audi TT, then the lemon Porsche, pivoting to buying a brand new Cayman then a bunch of fully working second hand Porsches.
This isn't any sort of real hobby, or real appreciation. It's just another thing that Wu buys to fill up the empty, empty jobless hours and the empty, empty soul of the complete non-achiever. I expect they all just sit inert in the basement gathering dust until the next time Wu needs a photo for twitter.

I mean this is like telling a gun sperg that they all propel lead down range, or a gear head all cars have engines.
Tables, especially now, have some really different play styles with all the gimmicks they cram in now that microcontrollers are cheap. That's before you get into the highscore spergs.
That said:
From my pin-head friend, as a solo player you are going to max out at 5, tops. And the usual max is 3: You'll have your favorite table, your table you want to play when you need a break from your favorite table, and then a "New" table (basically one that caught your eye and you're trying out). A real sperg (ie. one that's old enough to have the scratch to buy tables) will probably have at least one or two of their "old favorites" from back in the day.
Anything above that is for display/pin-peen swinging or because you have a lot of guests.

Normally I would agree, but the scores they've hit on Alien pinball are actually pretty good. That said, obviously it depends what settings they're using, plus you can cheat, but I don't think even Wu would go as far as cheating. For a regular 3 ball game on standard settings those are solid scores though.

You must be new here. Nothing in this faggot's life isn't a result of him trying to cheat.

If he was gonna cheat, I don't think he'd do it so you can just see his scores in one random screenshot featuring Frank, where he doesn't even come first.
I know what a useless cunt he is, and all the things he's failed at. He paid people to program his video game in its entirety and I'd be surprised if he could even code "hello world" without fucking it up, but on this occasion, I'm thinking an almost-50 year old man hitting a respectable score on pinball is believable, especially as the table is in his house and he has fuck all else to do.

It's funny I just saw a 6min video on YouTube of Corey Taylor (lead singer of Slipknot) talk about the best money and worst money he's ever spent. He talks about his ONE luxury car and his ONE Spiderman pinball machine. Also about how he actually invests in things like real estate and selling houses (that he lives in, fixes up, and sells for a profit.)
And this is the front man to one of the most recognizable bands on earth that sells millions of albums, who actually makes his own money and has to fly around the world, get on stage every night and scream his face off for the last 25 years. He also had real drug addiction for a long time (not stupid kiddie ambien bullshit) that he had to get over a decade ago so he could be there for his wife and kids. What has John done? Still waiting to find out...
It's just seeing how level headed and collected a famous supposedly psycho metal guy is compared to John. Like if even the guys in Slipknot were to look at your shit and say "yeah that's over the top" Then you got a problem.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking those who are really into the hobby, this is just my point of view as an absolute layman who can probably count the number of times I've played pinball on one, maybe two hands. I don't know about the nitty gritty details, but it's understandable because it's not where my interests lie, and I certainly wouldn't feign expertise. To use another example like your gunsperg one, my personal fixation is gunpla, and while you can simplify every kit to "cut parts off runners and snap them together," kits will have different building experiences or features that you'd only really know about if you have it as a hobby. Hobbies are cool (hot take, I know).
That said, while I could potentially see John having an interest in pinball (maybe picked up from Frank), he's 100% showing off how much money he can burn on frivolous shit as opposed to being a serious hobbyist. Frank and John do not entertain, so there's no real need for them to have a dozen tables.
It's possible he could have changed the settings to increase the score multiplier, but without access to the machine itself, it's impossible to say for sure. All you could really do is compare it to high score tables online and see how it stacks up; if it's a lot higher than one would expect, then one might suspect cheating. Johnny boy isn't above cheating in an obvious manner to make himself look good, though. I recall one tweet showing his awesome DDR score next to Frank's and making fun of him for it...but he failed to realize that the screen was showing he was playing on the easiest difficulty while Frank was playing on a much harder one.

The man created the speed run category of any% princess SMB2 All Stars and then claimed to be a top speed runner because he held the record (until real speed runners easily took it from him). He is obsessed with these absolutely meaningless achievements, I see no reason too think he wouldn't cheat for a high score on Alien pinball

That's fair, but his score is nowhere near the high score (of all players) on that table, and wasn't even higher than Frank's score. That's why I gave him a pass, especially given that he can play it whenever he likes.

I'm not sure about this, I've seen more evidence of Frank playing them. John mostly posts about tinkering with their guts like his Porsches.

I can understand reading Wu's xitter feed and Wikipedia entry and being none the wiser, but imagine being a Kiwifarmer, reading this thread, and still being credulous about anything Wu has done.
We're not gonna make it, frens.

Great timing. Not a day after Wu hangs out with Lauren Southern it's revealed she's a paid stooge for Putin. So after going on and on about how the left is in the pocket of Iran, there's going to be a video of Wu performing literal Kremlin propaganda.
It's not even the first time. Real OGs may remember Wu's Russia Today appearance from back in 2015. Perhaps we should start calling her Comrade Wuski.

John addresses the allegations.
Frank loves him for it.
EDIT:
I hope you're not wearing a headset because John fucked up his audio and it's only coming through the right channel lmao. I'll try to give a tldw once I'm done watching unless someone beats me to it.
SUPER EDIT:
@A. G. Peak TRANScribed the whole thing here.
I'll just do highlights as I hear them. I have listened to the entire thing and I wanna make it known right up front that John never acknowledges that his name, the name his daddy gave him, is John Flynt.

- John thinks that twitter thinks he is dying.
- John knew since he was three years old that he was a woman and would ask his mom when does he get to become a girl to which his mom was visibly confused.
- When John was a young boy his father took him into the city to see the barber man and John threw a tard rage and started screaming in the barber chair because he didn't want his long (doesn't say how long) hair cut. "It felt like I was having a limb chopped off." The time frame for this is not explicitly stated but he puts in between the confused mom story and the next one so he's between three and five.
- He tried to kill himself when he was five. He claims that this is his very first "concrete" memory. He wanted to kill himself because his parents told him that if he died he would go to heaven. He stuck a fork in an electric outlet, "and I feel the electricity and im just trying to hold on long enough to get free", and did all this because if he died then Jesus would let him into heaven and make him a girl. He says that he liked the throbbing pain it gave him in his hand because it helped him not focus on his "drowning" depression. Reminder that this was when he was three.
- At 12, John biked three miles to the Mississippi State library, because it wasn't monitored like his local one, and discovered a medical book showing graphic depictions of SRS.
- When John hit puberty he was really questioning his sexuality. He goes full Fuentes and says that the idea of having sex with girls seemed really gay. He said that with his face mouth.
- At 14 John was cornered by a child molester at his church that started to feel him up. John believes that the child molester felt some inate femininity from him and that's why he was targeted. The story ends with him getting away before anything happened. He never told anyone because he thought his parents would question him on why a "closeted homosexual" was going after him and that would out him.
- He got a play date scheduled with a boy but spent the entire time playing with the boy's little sister and her barbie dolls. The boy told everyone at school which only made things worse for John and increased his suicidiation.
- John still remembers the taste of the gun oil from his dad's .38 revolver that he put in his mouth but never had the courage to pull the trigger.
- John would steal his mom's HRT to help with his anguish as a teen. He says it didn't help because he was this gangly, tall, half creature while not realizing that taking the HRT probably had a hand in how fucked up looking he is.
- John doesn't know what other boys had under their mattress but John had barbies and a sketch book where he would stay up for hours past bed time and draw barbies as a coping mechanism.
- In college, John would start drinking heavily and do any and every drug he could. A doctor told him that he would be looking at liver failure by 40 if he continued. He almost died from drinking one day and that was his wake up call to troon out and live his best life. Much later he will say that his best life is basically miserable.
- Once he's done with his autobiography John says that he was given a medical diagnosis that he is going to lose the ability to speak. He says it's nothing to do with being trans but it's just more bad genetics. Because of this he has to step away from politics and his career that makes talk from the moment he gets up to the moment he lies down. He says that we can probably hear his voice weakening throughout the entire video but I can't detect any difference. In fact, he sounds exactly the same as in every other video I've seen of him including the one where Hotwheels tells him that not everything is about him.
- John's life is misery and he doesn't need people telling him that he's a cut up, medical mongoloid, half a thing because he's well aware.
- There is no time line where John doesn't troon out that he kills himself. Becoming a monster saved him.
- John is still upset that he didn't get the help he needed as a troon child for his troon issues. Someone should've done something. When the teachers at the several teacher-parent conferences saw that John's parents were indifferent to John's troubles then those teachers should've stepped up.
- John threatens more videos
