I’m willing to entertain requests of topics too, so send those to TWIP at I do have my opinions and biases, and I love speculating about things. Sometimes there is a flood of news, more often than not it’s a drought, so apologies in advance if posts become sporadic. Commercial pinball includes offerings from the two major studios making digi pin today, Zen Studios and Magic Pixel, as well as what is going on with the newly emerged digital pinball cabinet market. That means I won’t be dipping my toes into the Visual Pinball (VPX) waters, as those are extensive and deep and I forgot my life vest. This will cover the goings on with pinball that is being offered commercially. I’m calling it LWI(D)P, Last Week In (Digital) Pinball. I have been covering the digital pinball scene extensively since 2012 and have been asked to post a summation of all the latest goings on in the digital community for TWIP. Hi, my name is Chris Friebus and I am the host of the BlahCade Pinball Podcast. Want flippers that are underpowered, or balls that you can scale to different sizes? Do you want to play with the lighting of the room your in or on the table itself? Would you like to have a go at a whitewood playfield and adding graphics from the image library? The game offers all that to you as an option, though some you will have to pay a bit extra for. Want glass reflections and worn out playfields? Go for it. For those that like to tweak with settings, Zaccaria Pinball is heaven sent. There’s a starter pack for $5.99 that gives you a taste of some EM, SS, and a few of their Remake tables, which are DMD influenced creations. For the incredibly low price of $1.99 there is the ‘retro’ pack, where all 27 SS tables are reimagined as EM tables. Developer Magic Pixel didn’t stop there though. There are 27 solid state machines that have been lovingly recreated, as well as a collection of electro mechanical machines Zaccaria had made. This is important as these Italian machines are not everyone’s cup of tea. The program itself is free to download, and on PC you can try any of the tables via timed demo. It retails for $20 and includes 19 tables. That being said, frequently packs go on sale for 50% off and more, so be aware of that.Īs an aside to those that own a Nintendo Switch, FX3 does not include the Marvel tables at all, and if you wish to get the Star Wars tables, you have to purchase Star Wars Pinball as a separate game. ![]() The Zen original Sorcerer’s Lair and the Williams machine Fish Tales are free when you download FX3, but all the other tables come in packs that range in price, typically $9.99 for a 3 pack. ![]() There are currently 21 such titles offered and the list is growing. Then there are the Williams/Bally tables that are faithful recreations of the machines you know and love, with life like ball physics to match. ![]() These range from Zen originals such as Castle Storm and Adventureland to licensed originals such as Jurassic Park, Portal, or Aliens to name a few.

I am trying to be a little more like him. He’s complex, nuanced, unapologetic and proud of his identity. He’s Jewish where it matters – on the inside. ![]() We need more characters like Walter Sobchak. Through film and television, creators have an opportunity to break tropes, breach fear of the “other” and offer a more nuanced portrayal of what it means to be Jewish. In light of the current climate of increasing anti-Semitism, we must think carefully about how the Jews of television are portrayed for the world to watch. He exemplifies the idea that the definition of a Jew is not by one’s name, looks or wallet. Walter doesn’t check a single box on the stereotypical Jewish checklist. His voice rises in frustration as he explains that he doesn’t ride in a car, handle money or turn on the oven, shouting loudly enough to reach every ear in the room. In “The Big Lebowski,” Walter Sobchak’s outrage and sincerity shine through as he attempts to explain Shabbat to his flabbergasted friends. But those are all cultural references, not the serious business of what it means to practice Judaism. Viewers had learned why Jewish people might not eat lobster, that they ate things named “kreplach,” “brisket” and “tzimmes,” and that cinnamon babka was inferior to chocolate. A very successful run of “Seinfeld” brought words like “shiksa,” “bris” and “kosher” into the common lexicon. ![]() By then, the general public had already learned some things about modern American (or at least New York) Jewish culture. “The Big Lebowski” hit the Big Screen in 1998. Is this a joke, a distasteful send-up, a way of mocking Jews? It’s about as unexpected as George Bush warbling through “Hatikvah” at a tractor show. He does have a beard, but it is sparse and sculpted, more hip than Hasid. He isn’t wearing a black hat or a kippah he’s wearing a khaki bandana. In this scene, as in the rest of the movie, Goodman is not dressed as an obviously religious Jew. ![]() More specifically, he explained that I “don’t f***ing roll” on Shabbos. The friends are mystified, but curious, so Walter explains. Clearly agitated, Walter demands to know who in the league office is responsible for the egregious scheduling. Walter Sobchak, a moody Vietnam veteran and member of the bowling team, asks when they play.Īt the answer, “Saturday,” Walter, played by the decidedly non-Jewish John Goodman, insists that they’ll have to reschedule. The most “Jewish” moment in the film happens when Donny, played by Steve Buscemi, announces that the next round of a bowling tournament has been posted. The central plot of the Coen brothers’ film revolves around an aimless, pothead slacker named Jeffrey Lebowski (better known as “The Dude”) who gets caught up in a crime caper along with his equally ragtag bowling team. Thankfully, there are examples of movie characters that have managed to transcend this flattening of Jewish identity and break stereotypes – and my favorite of all is Walter Sobchak of “The Big Lebowski.” In an era of increased sensitivity to minority representation, this is a missed opportunity to do better. It’s often too easy to determine that a character on TV is Jewish: Does their last name end in -stein or -berg? Do they have a big nose? A big mouth? Are they wealthy? Stingy? Neurotic? This kind of portrayal in American entertainment is not unique. While such tropes produce laughs, sometimes in self-recognition, the traits perpetuate an ugly story about the nature of the Jewish people. The show is stocked with supposedly “Jewish” characters, such as the whiny, self-centered princess, the interfering mother and the money-hungry father-in-law. Maisel.” The third season of the award-winning show is expected to air in a few months, so I dutifully resigned myself to the task.īut as I watched, I could not help but agree with Paul Brownfield of the Los Angeles Times’ assessment that the show is an “endurance test of ethnic self-parody” which left him, and me, feeling queasy.

QuickBooks requires training for new users, but it is convenient to use with an accountant and other financial services, because most providers in the space are already familiar with it. QuickBooks, FreshBooks, and Wave Accounting are some of the leading products suited to small business. SMB accounting tools have become increasingly affordable in recent years, making them the preferred choice for most businesses. True SMB accounting software is distinguished by having better tools for financial data management, reporting, analytics, tax preparation, etc. Since bookkeeping tools are more simplistic, these products may be easier for simpler businesses without accounting experience to learn and use. Small businesses may also only require bookkeeping software, which focuses on recording financial transactions via a general ledger and managing payroll. Simple, inexpensive or free platforms are available for entrepreneurs and smaller companies, while medium-sized or larger companies may find use for more complex software possessing a greater breadth of features or deeper processing capacity and higher usage limit caps (like unlimited invoicing or the ability of a larger number of users to access the system). ![]() Small Business Accounting SoftwareĪccounting & Budgeting Software offerings vary a great deal in complexity.

And combined with the visuals and some really chunky audio effects, it really gets the job done. All of the above isn't particularly challenging and mostly serves as a bit of flavor that helps sell the game's setting. As a result, instead of managing your radiation levels, you'll be dealing with Trudograd's inhospitable weather, which translates into stacking cold resistance, spending some time by the fire, and consuming an occasional alcoholic beverage. When you arrive, Trudograd merely has to deal with the harsh realities of nuclear winter, the complete lack of a functional government, and the looming threat of a barbarian invasion. Your quest for this ultimate tool of overcompensation leads you to Trudograd, a bustling by post-apocalyptic standards city that somehow managed to avoid getting bombed back into the stone age. Your character, who just happens to be the star agent of the Soviet take on the Brotherhood of Steel, gets the first crack at finding that gun. The proposed solution for dealing with this thing is to shoot it out of the sky with the biggest gun available. Should this asteroid arrive unmolested, it's predicted to wipe the human race off the face of the planet for good.

Introduction ATOM RPG: Trudograd is a post-apocalyptic RPG inspired by such venerable classics as Wasteland and Fallout, but with a Soviet coat of paint. ![]() They also recorded a Peel Session on 12 February 1979, with a line-up of Casey, Broudie, Johnson and Budgie the session was broadcast on 6 March 1979. The unintentional consequence of the EP was the formation of the Zoo label, which went on to release early material by Echo & the Bunnymen and The Teardrop Explodes, amongst others. During their time, Big in Japan recorded four songs which were included in From Y to Z and Never Again EP, released afterwards to pay off debts. The band broke up after a last gig at Eric's on 26 August 1978. In the 1980s, Drummond became manager of Cope's band, The Teardrop Explodes. According to Cope's autobiography, "Of course, Bill Drummond was into the whole thing and told us we needed 14,000 signatures, then they'd split up. Displayed in local shop Probe Records the petition gathered numerous signatures, including those of the band themselves. Hatred of the band reached such a level that a petition calling on them to split up was launched by a jealous young Julian Cope resulting from a rivalry with the Crucial Three. In January 1978, Budgie (previously in The Spitfire Boys and later member of The Slits and Siouxsie and the Banshees) replaced Allen on drums, and in early June, Johnson was sacked and replaced with ex-Deaf School Steve Lindsey, who was replaced in July by Dave Balfe (previously in Dalek I Love You), the last member to join. In October, Ambrose Reynolds joined to replace Ward who then left that December, but Reynolds himself quit shortly afterwards and was replaced by Holly Johnson. In August, the line-up grew, joining Jayne Casey (vocals), Ian Broudie (guitar) and Clive Langer (guitar), who quit in September, but not before the band recorded their first song released, "Big In Japan", which appeared in the 7" single compilation Brutality Religion and a dance beat, released the same year. Their stage show was unique: lead singer Jayne Casey would perform with a lampshade over her shaved head, guitarist Bill Drummond played in a kilt and bassist Holly Johnson performed in a flamboyant manner which he would later take further in Frankie Goes to Hollywood.Īs an initial idea of Deaf School's Clive Langer, his friend Bill Drummond (guitar, vocals), Kevin Ward (bass, vocals) and Phil Allen (drums), formed the band in May 1977, playing only three gigs, the first of them at Bretton Hall College, in Yorkshire. Drummond instigated the KLF and its many offshoots.Big in Japan began from the same Merseyside scene which would produce Echo & the Bunnymen, The Teardrop Explodes, OMD, and Dalek I Love You.īig In Japan started off playing gigs around Liverpool, such as Ruffwood School in Kirkby along with Wah! Heat, but most notably at Eric's Club. Balfe joined Zoo's the Teardrop Explodes and started Food, an EMI subsidiary that introduced Jesus Jones and Blur to the world. Broudie moved through a handful of acts - Original Mirrors, Ellery Bop, Care, and the long-running Lightning Seeds - and produced dozens of bands across the '80s, '90s, and 2000s, including Echo & the Bunnymen, the Fall, Alison Moyet, and the Coral. Casey went on to the brilliant Pink Military, Johnson formed Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and Budgie became a Banshee. ![]() The group's membership, too, proved astonishingly far-sighted. Further material leaked out across various compilation albums and revealed just how far-reaching Big in Japan's musical ambitions were. Three months later, with Drummond and Balfe helming the Zoo label - which launched many of post-punk Liverpool's most storied bands, including Drummond and Balfe's Lori & the Chameleons project - an EP of four Big in Japan tracks was released as From Y to Z and Never Again. ![]() The petition failed to break up the band, but Big in Japan were not long for the world regardless Holly Johnson was evicted and replaced by David Balfe in early 1978 and, in August, the band broke up. ![]() Local producer Clive Langer was a firm friend and fan, however he produced the band's first single, released by the local Eric's label in late 1977 and featuring a track by the Yachts, under their Chuddy Nuddies alias, on the B-side.
