Markus Rothkranz: World’s Top Pinball Artist

Meet Markus Rothkranz, the world’s top pinball artist.

Markus actually doesn’t like to brag about being the world’s top pinball artist, he’s kind of embarrassed about it actually.  He just schlepped pinball to pay the bills, he says.  So just to be clear, he’s NOT bragging even though it may sound, look and feel like he’s bragging, he’s actually not.

Markus is a film maker, as he says in the video, and he really wanted to be off doing important stuff, such as… well, according to his IMDB page, pretty much nothing.  BUT his TV Movie TO THE ENDS OF TIME scored an impressive 5.2 stars out of 10, and that’s over twice as many stars as Battlefield Earth, which means Markus is twice as successful as John Travolta in the filmmaking realm.  That’s just math, folks.

As he covers his pinball portfolio, Markus will talk about what other (far more) successful people have done, but not so you might confuse or associate their accomplishments with his own, but rather because he hopes you might confuse or associate their accomplishments with his own.  The difference is subtle and you’re probably not smart enough to understand it, so I won’t bother trying to explain it.

Some people don’t understand how cool Markus is and that’s why he’s forced FORCED to moderate all comments posted to his video, and why he has thumbs-up/down ratings disabled.  When you’re as cool as Markus you just don’t have time for the haters.
