    Star Trek: The Next Generation

    Just played this last weekend for the first time and went back today. What a great table! Found a place about a half hour away that has 50+ tables so it looks like we'll be hitting it pretty much every weekend.

    Star Trek: TNG

    At this point I don't really know the goals or anything. I just try to keep it in play and hit whatever targets it's telling me to. Same with Bride of Pinbot. I'm loving the game but it's more fun when you understand the whole game. I can't wait for the next two tables. It'll save me a lot of...

    Star Trek: TNG

    Just got back from playing TNG 10 minutes ago. Found a place with 50+ tables last week. Never played it before then. What a great table!

    Ball size/scaling

    Lol lettuce of course. But on the small galaxy s2 phone screen in landscape the ball got waaay bigger when it came close. I'd been playing in landscape on iPad for about a week, so when I saw it, I said "holy smokes!" right away.

    Ball size/scaling

    What device are you on? I don't notice this on my ipad2 but I did see it on my gf's Galaxy S2 epic when played in landscape mode.

    Found a place near me with well-maintained tables!

    Thanks Jeff. Btw did you see I finally passed your score in black hole? Sorry man! It was a lucky fluke. I'm mostly scoring in the 300,00-400,00 range to be honest. About playing the real versions of these... I noticed on every machine that the flippers didn't behave the same as in the game. In...

    Found a place near me with well-maintained tables!

    So the gal and I checked out a place that had over 50 tables yesterday. What a blast. Got to finally play the classics I've only read about. Also got to play many of the tables from the Williams collection that I've never played in real life. Met Fred Richardson who is starting a tournament...

    Where Do You Play Real World Pinball Tables?

    Wow Jeff thanks for posting that! I found a place 16 miles away that has 30 tables. The listing is from 2010 but I may hit this place next weekend instead. Way closer and ten more tables than the place I was planning on hitting. Plus they have Pinbot and bride of Pinbot. Haven't gotten to play...

    Where Do You Play Real World Pinball Tables?

    Wow pin wiz that place looks great. There are a few bars and bowling alleys that have one or two tables nearby, but nothing very playable. Most are pretty beat up. One was so bad, the guy actually told us, " dont bother playing it. I just end up giving everyone their quarters back." The last few...

    Found a place near me with well-maintained tables!

    Oh I'm not married haha! That's why I can come home from work, play guitar and jam pinball lol. But yeah my gf is as nuts about pinball as me. When I really think about how many hours we've put into the Williams Collection, it's crazy. I was at best buy, circuit city, gamestop etc. on release...

    Found a place near me with well-maintained tables!

    Also, my gal is a pinball fanatic as well. She was out of town this weekend and sent me photos from the hotel game room where they had Ripleys, Star Wars and Fish Tales. . Her daughter-in-law flew up from San Diego and she brought her copy of the Williams Collection with her heheh. It seems like...

    Found a place near me with well-maintained tables!

    Yeah it looks like they have some tournaments at the end of the month. 2 days for twenty bucks, and on the second day all tables are set to free-play all day. Growing up I really only had Pinbot, medieval madness black knight and 8 ball deluxe nearby. Never got to play many of the greats I read...

    Found a place near me with well-maintained tables!

    I'm in the twin cities (MN, USA) I just found this place about a half hour away from my house. http://ssbilliards.com/pinball.html Their site has some cool photos of BBB and Kingpin. Never played them but Kingpin looks cool. We're going to hit it next weekend! Woohoo!

    Anyone else actually find The Black Hole easy?

    Thanks for the advice. I finally beat my high on BH of about 550,000 but only by about 30,000 points heheh. I cant seem to purposely knock down the upper drop targets in order. Working on it though.

    Next two tables are Medieval Madness and Bride of Pinbot!

    These look fantastic. With releases every month, this is going to be a great year! I can't wait!

    I'm at a half million too, and that's way higher than my average BH score. Jeff and Craig, your scores are amazing. I tried concentrating on the lower play field still suck so far. I'm just going to keep hammering at it until I hopefully improve.

    Other hobbies?

    Another guitar player here haha. I've been playing for 30 years. I do graphic design for a promotional advertising company and gig weekends. I was a guitar instructor for 13 years on the side at a local music store. I liked the video Jeff, thanks for posting. I'm a huge Derek Trucks fan as well...
