Underground available on YouTube — and Dean Roblee — the former owner and operator of Nine and Three-Quarters pinball arcade in Santa Cruz — Modern Man in Search of High Scores is the pinball pod which dives headfirst into the flashing lights and nostalgia of pinball and arcade culture, covering the latest machine drops, industry news, deep cuts on retro cabinets, and the occasional philosophical musing on why grown men still chase high scores.


Season 2 brings a brand new head-to-head format where modern and classic machines go toe-to-toe and only one walks away as the Grand Champion. Lawrence and Dean break down everything — designers, artists, programmers, ramps, toys, multiballs, and more — plus they hand out a rotating slate of awards all as efforts the declare the winner. Interviews, hot takes, and pinball arguments that will hurt somebody's feelings, every other Monday.

    Modern Man in Search of High Scores is back — and Season 2 is coming in hot. Lawrence Adams and Dean Roblee return with a brand new format that's about to change the way you think about classic machines. This isn't just a podcast anymore. It's a showdown.


    Kicking off the season, Lawrence and Dean debut the head-to-head format with one of the greatest matchups pinball has ever seen: The Addams Family vs. Terminator 2. Two of the most iconic machines ever to grace an arcade floor. Two legends of the golden era. One episode to settle it. They're breaking down what makes each machine a classic, what separates them, and — most importantly — which one reigns supreme. The gloves are off, the flippers are ready, and things are about to get competitive.


    All the pinball and arcade news you've come to love is still here, but Season 2 is playing a whole new game. Whether you're a die-hard collector, a casual player, or someone who's been chasing that high score since the '90s, this is the episode that sets the tone for what's coming. Buckle up — Modern Man in Search of High Scores is just getting started.

    In this episode Lawrence and Dean hit the road for one of the strangest pinball pilgrimages yet: a visit to the legendary Winchester Mystery House, where staircases lead nowhere, doors open into walls, and somehow there’s a pinball machine based on it. It's also time to catch 'em all in arcade and pinball news.
