We fast forward now to the third Sunday in October. Among the highlights, I got to play the new game The Uncanny X-Men for the first time. I also got to post an early grand champion and a mode record for Smuggled Cargo. (The name entered is a reference to the Bayou City Pinball League which will become more active in early 2025.) Incidentally this grand champion score came on the very first game I played. I take this as a good omen for the 2025 tournament season.
The other highlights would include my scores on Stranger Things and Guardians of the Galaxy. Most of the rest was pretty run of the mill.
