I believe the phrase you're looking for is "OH MY GOD IT'S FULL OF PAXTON." Ben Heckendorn made the above, fully functional masterpiece based on the works of Bill Paxton, including everything from Aliens to Big Love. It took him five years and he built almost everything from scratch, and programmed the damn thing. Also, it is a PINBALL MACHINE BASED ON BILL FUCKING PAXTON. I CANNOT FUCKING BELIEVE IT. Please, please, go to Ben's site to see videos of the game in action, more pictures of the machine, and even how you can make one yourself if you really, really love Bill Paxton. Or, possibly, are Bill Paxton. (Via Kotaku)

They need Otis, the axe from Frailty, in there somewhere. Bill Paxton produced, directed, and starred in that movie because he just wanted to see it made. I can honestly say it's the only movie I have ever seen where Matthew Mchaunahy is actually GOOD!
Brent replied to GUMBERCULES!:
Frailty! Fuck yeah!
I was in Iraq during the invasion, and, as luck would have it, the only Marine in my unit who brought DVDs. We somehow got ahold of a DVD projector and decided to have movie night on the wall of some government building in Najaf. Our ultra-Christian CO told me to pick something wholesome. I told him Frailty is the tale of a man who chooses to heed God's instructions in the face of a doubting secular world.
About 15 minutes into the movie, dude was PISSED OFF.

You, sir, are awesome.

Seriously, this is probably the coolest thing I've seen all day.

Game over, man! Game over!

I feel like this whole thing revolves around the idea that when you lose it can shout "game over man! Game over!" if it doesn't do that, it is 100% fail.

I was initially floored just when I saw the picture above, I can't believe he built it ALL from scratch, the light-up display, the cabinet, back board, bumpers...DAMN. This is the most impressive feat I have seen in ages. And Atari 800 FTMFW!@!

I was waiting for the 'Game over, man! Game over!" line and it does indeed deliver (as Monkey boy said, it sort of had to).
I am a little disappointed that it includes a mode to something like U-571, but not a skill shot based off his role as the sniper 'God' from Navy Seals... it would've been perfect if you missed it to play the cheesy, but awesome "God, God?" "You're god can't help you now!" lines...
Over all, though, this is probably the best thing I'll witness today and it's incredible that it's scratch built.

EVula said:
I love that the side is him from True Lies. He was so fantastic in that...

Amazing! Needs more Twister.
Rev said:
Is there a special bonus mode where it becomes Bill Pullman Pinball?
Archer said:
That is completely fucking insane. I lvoe it.
ZZZZ said:
This is old news!!!! Am I the only one who knew about this already??
Dave replied to ZZZZ:
Well aren't you Mr. (or Mrs.) cool with your arcane knowledge of all things hidden on the internet? How could anyone possibly have missed pinball-related news?

I was honestly hoping for Jeremy. Damn it all.

In honor of Big Love, no less than three balls should be in play at one time.
Sven said:
Paxton's magnum opus, Weird Science, seems to have been left out.
Tony said:
Holy goodness. That goes clear to 11 on the awesome dial.
HyperApathy said:
when you lose does it says, "Game over man, game over?"
Hmmm... said:
Ben Heck has always been a crazy man, but this...this will assure his place in heaven.

Where's his punk role in terminator? "NICE NIGHT FOR A WALK" and the quintessential "FUCK YOU, ASSHOLE!"
captain murphy said:
I'm waiting for a Crispin Glover pinball game. It kicks you in the face when you lose.
