You know when fangirls say “SCREAMING” when they see something fantastic, but you know they’re not really screaming and it’s just for emphasis?
When I saw this Doctor Who pinball machine in the arcade today I literally screamed. LOUDLY. Like, my brother was startled and then mad at me for being so damn loud, and people were probably glaring at me. I don’t think I have ever screamed like that before. I have screamed in jest, but this. This was sincere.
But just look at that pinball machine. It’s beautiful! Look at all those little details! Look at it! 7 balls! 7 Doctors! It even shouted “EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!”
Unfortunately, when Mom tried to play it (she pointed it out to me initially) it ate her quarters. Ugh I wish we could have actually played it…
Also I happened to be wearing my “keep calm and don’t blink” shirt, with heart-shaped Union Jack earrings; had the Master’s pocket watch and Ten’s sonic screwdriver in my purse; and had a TARDIS keychain affixed to my purse strap.
My husband’s uncle owns this pinball machine. It is just as fun as it looks. I played it for HOURS.
Us Brits also had rideable Daleks at the arcades when I was small, you sat inside them and they spun around and you...
