    Thanks Switch and Tarek, I'll give it a try!

    Do you rant when playing TPA?

    The 250k launch goal on F14 doesn't register anyway. I did it twice but no cigar. Hopefully that will be fixed. I'm cursing at Safe Cracker. When I'm one step from the vault and will start token multiball on my next roll unless the guard rolls a 6. Of course he rolls a 6 the cheating bastard...

    PC Tourney 2015-10-23: MSF, BSD, TAF, HH, SS, EatPM, TZ, MB

    Does anyone know if Dizzer is streaming or posting vids? I would love some idea of how to play HH and he crushes that table. I hope he (or anyone! Tarek?) can show how to shoot 5M+. I really don't get that table... Someone please show me! :) after the tourney is fine if you don't want to post...

    Sign Up for October TotM link

    I'm signed up as well. Hopefully I'll shoot decent games on BR and SS. POTO is quite random to me, and HH just hates me, but that's OK cause I hate it right back! :)

    PC Tourney 2015-10-23: MSF, BSD, TAF, HH, SS, EatPM, TZ, MB

    Making sure to drain all the balls and ending the game before the 20 min timer is up usually takes care of roll-over issues in the tournaments.

    Top 5-10 Pinballs every made - Pro talk

    While I do agree with you about the crate hit requirements getting crazy, it's not the 'little 2-ball mb' that is interesting - it's the Monster multiball you can get afterwards ;) It's been a long time since I played SS in real life, but I can imagine it's pretty hard to reach the wizard mode...

    Game of Thrones - 14 big pics

    I don't get to play real pinball much, but I spent a couple of hours at an arcade this weekend and played a bunch of tables. There were mostly newer Sterns there, and GoT was one of them. I really enjoyed it! Nice flow and good gameplay was my impression. I've never seen it before and didn't...

    Table of the Week Club...Week 36: SCARED STIFF

    I've got a bit of TPA burnout, so I haven't played the weekly tables at all this month. I picked up SS today, a table I don't care much for and haven't played in a long time. I'm really glad we don't play extraballs in ToTM. This table has so many repeatable eb's (5!?) it's ridicilous.

    Thread for irrational dislikes

    Geohoo, I can guarantee that the physics don't change at all. I have played many multi-hour sessions (all on iPad) repeating the same shots, so I feel completely sure when I say that. Like Invitro says, the mystery awards will not award the good stuff after a while, but the rest is all you. I...

    First impressions

    Ok thanks for the info. That's exactly how I trigger the left inlane too for this goal :) not perfectly reliable but we work with what we have. Sometimes it can be triggered when a ball is launched from the right lock and you hold the lower left flipper up as well. Nudging required for that...

    First impressions

    Anyone has any ideas to get the 250k launch bonus wg to stick? Does it have to be with no balls in the lock(s) or something like that? Pretty hard to even get to 250k imo. Sucks that it doesn't register. Second opinion: Backhanding the right orbit up to 8x really destroys the table. That's where...

    (An attempt at) The top 40 TPA players from leaderboard scores

    That site shows extreme lag for me when I test on the iPad - it starts/stops the watch almost half a second after I press start/stop. TPA doesn't have that issue. If I do the same test on the iOS stopwatch I am consistently within 0.01-0.10s 10 times straight.

    Table of the Week Club...Week 34: PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

    I think PoTO is a decent table, and art+sound is very good. And it's a DataEast! I don't play it much, but it's a very worthy addition to TPA imo. Not a lot of things to do on it, but the ramp shot is satisfying. My personal best is nailing 10 consecutive million shots running, and a few shots...

    (An attempt at) The top 40 TPA players from leaderboard scores

    What makes you think you can't nudge easily? I don't see much difference tbh, I'd even go as far as saying that all top scores are obtainable on a mobile device, but take that with a grain of salt as there are some really sick scores. I can reliably pause games over night on my iPad and pick up...

    PC Tournament 2015-09-25: F-14, WhD, FT, TOff, ElDo, HD3, BS, LCA

    Of course! That's why I tilted out of my last game. Don't want to edge just ahead and then be called a cheater :) or I'm just an idiot :)

    PC Tournament 2015-09-25: F-14, WhD, FT, TOff, ElDo, HD3, BS, LCA

    Well played to Dizzer if they are indeed legit scores. I don't get why he can't post here? Most of the players that play TPA that much seems to spend some time here as well. He does come off as a total dick in that post though so maybe it's for the best. Surely he can see why his scores can be...

    PC Tournament 2015-09-25: F-14, WhD, FT, TOff, ElDo, HD3, BS, LCA

    Grats to Toolinit on winning the mobile tournament! Well played :) I almost caught up in the end, but I made a super stupid mistake: 1 hour left of tournament. I've just played a great game on Who Dunnit? to nail the top spot there. I move on to try for first on ElDor, knowing that I win the...

    LAW I just checked out the online tournament leaderboards and want to say you guys did a great job there!! It looks like it works perfectly for me to view on my phone as well (which isn't always the case with the regular leaderboards). The polish FS has added to and around this game over the...

    PC Tournament 2015-09-25: F-14, WhD, FT, TOff, ElDo, HD3, BS, LCA

    It seems Tee'd Off, Big Shot and ElDor are always bundled up in tourneys... I'm back from a trip and have joined the competition in the mobile tourney. My first game on Big Shot and I beat my high score. Pretty happy about that! :) Not looking forward to learn that damn HD video mode again, but...

    September TotM Groupings and Results

    Cool tourney as always. Thanks SYT! There's actually one more thing though - you've got me listed as winner on BSD and CV, but Switch3flip won both of those by a mile. I won LCA somehow, but you have Switty listed on that one :) Grats Switch! Friggin awesome scores on BSD and CV!!!
