Oct 8 2009Creative/Mechanical Genius Constructing Bill Paxton Pinball Machine
Noting the pinball industry's lack of progress on machines focused on actor Bill Paxton, Ben Heckendorn is effing making his own! Thus, Ben Heckendorn is officially Earth history's greatest pinball machine-maker.
On his blog, you can see more shots (close-up of the Big Love side panel, for example) and an explanation of some of his future plans to add Titanic, Aliens, and Twister details. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that a Mighty Joe Young reference is forthcoming.

Oh, Christ. I was thinking about making a joke about people confusing Paxton and Pullman, and apparently that led me to actually typing Pullman in the first paragraph, thus making me the fool who confuses Paxton and Pullman.
Apologies to the Paxton and Pullman estates; it has been corrected.

But if he doesn't use the classic "Game over, man! Game over!" line in the appropriate place, it will all be for nothing.

You mean there are 2 different Bills? I thought they were the same....or didn't care.
Paxton was pretty funny in Aliens and True Lies though.
