Spring Break Foosball

Let's stick with the "games that Brad likes" theme and move from pinball to foosball. Foosball is also a game that I've always enjoyed. While working at Klipsch, a foosball table was put in several months before I left for school. During those months I honed my skills as a goalie (as we always played 2 on 2).

While in Seattle I stumbled across two noteworthy foosball tables. The first table was at Muladey's, a bar we went to after indoor rock climbing. I was fascinated by the vintage table I found in the corner of the 2nd floor. It was a solid table build of beautiful wood.

Even the players were carved from wood. The springs on either side of the bars made for a very nice playing.

Later in the week, we went to another bar and found the following mini-foosball table sitting on a normal table.

This game was a lot of fun. Only two handles per side instead of 4 made it much easier to follow. Due to the small size, the game table was very light and was often shifted or lifted off of the table it was sitting on adding a whole new element to the game (like tilting a pinball machine... oh... now we're back to pinball).

In conclusion, I'd be a very happy graduate to have a pinball machine and a foosball table in my future residence.
