Welcome to Mystery Pinball Theater 3000, or mpt3k for short. I play virtual pinball on my homemade FULL sized digital cabinet at home (Virtual Pinball, Pinball FX3). I also play real pinball at various locations all around the San Francisco / Bay area.
"MPT3k pushes the boundaries on technology and audience participation/engagement. He's enjoyable to watch and chat with, goes on-location, has experience building virtual pinball rigs and has close ties with members of the VPX community. Not many streamers do what he does at the same level of enthusiasm and quality. Highly recommend MPT3k on Twitch, Youtube, or anything else he does."

Wuthering Waves Pinball by Gtec 2026 After 7 amazing years of streaming virtual pinball every Tuesday night, it's time for me to bring this chapter to a close. I just want to say thank you to everyone who stopped by the streams, played along, chatted, lurked, laughed, and helped make Tuesday nights something I always looked forward to. Your support and friendship have meant more than you know. While I won't be streaming regularly on Tuesday nights anymore, the memories we've made together will always be special. Thank you for seven incredible years. See you around the arcade. ❤️🎮 Broadcasted live on Twitch -- Watch live at

This is the second "Big Trouble in Little China" pin I have tried. The first one is a physical homebrew by Kyle Smet you cah check out here: [ This one is created by the Vpxpinballwizards group and it's a virtual masterpiece. Fun, imaginative rules, great FX and cool call-outs from the movie. I only have one big gripe and I mention it much later in the stream. Spoiler Alert, I pretty much finished the game and show the final wizard mode, so viewer BEWARE!

Dark Chaos is an original homebrew design by Dan Massie, a.k.a. Apophis who is also a member of the Virtual Pinball Workshop.
