The January 6th Pinball Machine
Since it's now making the rounds in national media outlets like Kotaku and The Hill, figured I may as well tell this minor story from an article I was working on last year.
Last August, The Boston Globe published an article about the annual PorcFest in New Hampshire. For those unfamiliar, PorcFest is like Burning Man for Libertarians. I had never heard of it till seeing this article, but quickly saw mention of a January 6th themed pinball machine.
Naturally, this being a pinball publication, I felt inclined to dig a little deeper. After cold emailing a bunch of PorcFest organizers and mining public social media posts from the event, I finally managed to track down the game's creator.
I only managed a single email exchange with him before he went dark on me, but you could tell he was quite proud of his efforts, having video and marketing materials for the insurrection-themed game at the ready. The image above is from the game's promo flyer.
