@Jett129 I think with the rise of online gaming, For The Win became popular. I only knew of FTW as that until I learned of the original meaning. Fuck The World is a little aggressive for my tastes personally.

FTW was a sign of rebellion much like the anarchy symbol illustrating that you did not conform to societies definition of acceptance.
If I recall correctly, The Who’s pinball wizard was a song about the same and at the time pinball was a slow slope to deviance and non acceptance.

Great seeing you all over the weekend, hope everyone got home safely!
You probably saw me floating around with a camera on Saturday trying to grab some candid snapshots. Apologies if I missed anyone or any magic moments, but hopefully, this kinda captures the vibe of the day…

@Nocturama Pinball at the time was not widely accepted. I have yet to see this movie, but according to some hardcore pinball freaks, it's really good.
