    I'm doing this too, and just finished Goldfinger too. It feels like the first Bond film where they realized what they had. Also a significant change in direction, particularly the humor. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    It's based on a French film called La Totale. Once you've seen that (which I randomly saw on French TV once) you realize how much better the remake is. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Considering what came between T2 and True Lies, True Lies represented something of a return to form for Arnie.

    First Bond movie I saw in the cinema was A View To Kill - my Nan took me to see it (I was 11, not old enough to ride the bus on my own!), I'm not sure it was her kind of thing! Saw a few on TV before that, of course, they were always a staple around Christmas time on UK TV. I think Moonraker...

    All the canon non-Daniel Craig Bonds are now on Amazon Prime streaming. I have all those on DVD, but they're not in HD and I don't remember the last time I watched anything on physical media! Just fire up the Roku and bang.... As an exercise, I once attempted to figure out my favorite Bond by...

    I'm running through an A-Z of leaders in Civ 6. Each game takes 2-3 nights. Missing baseball tho, would've been the Yankees home opener yesterday. At least I'm not a Liverpool fan!! Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Zen Covid-19 Care Package (FREE TABLES!!)

    Free? Free free free? Yeah okay. Not played any video pinball in months, but I might as well grab 'em.

    Is TPA alone enough for you, or are you also buying into Zen’s Williams app?

    I believe so, yes. They had the tables physically on location, after all. It was a conscious decision to not emulate the sound. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    TPA could've grabbed the music etc from the ROM but chose not to. They felt recording from the speakers was more "authentic". Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    When will the next Pinball Arcade table be released?

    I wish that were a joke. But I happen to know it's true. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    When will the next Pinball Arcade table be released?

    Also, it probably does. There are a lot more bowlers than there are pinball players (disclaimer: an opinion with no basis in fact or research, but I consider it likely to be true). Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Yeah, so they haven't been sat on their hands doing nothing. I'll give it a look. The rest depends on the freemium model they use, as usual. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    You do realize that Kansas City isn't actually in Kansas (well, okay, there is a Kansas City in Kansas and it's just across the border from the bigger Kansas City in Missouri where the NFL team plays but hey welcome to Quirks Of US Geography!) Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Android: Purchased Monster Pack showing as 2 stars

    I haven't touched the Williams Pinball app in months. Part of that is not caring about the model, part of it is because Elder Scrolls Blades replaced it as my grinding drug of choice.

    Fun House, BoP, Whirlwind There's a pre-DMD 3-pack. But, not sure Zen would seem BoP "family friendly". Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    On TPA it was so easy to get 4x SJs, the top players were breaking the ROM as far as scoring went. Rollover bugs, and so on, that really WMS would never have anticipated and unfortunately were difficult to intercept and allow TPA to properly keep track so players would "lose" tens of billions...

    I'd imagine with the new animated movie out, the cost for doing TAF is going to be even greater than it was when Farsight did it. Yes I know Zen appear to be licensing wizards, but for MB/CfTBL I think they already had a Universal Monsters license in place, so it was pretty much a shoo-in. TAF...

    I played a lot of CfTBL, and it's a hard table IRL. The left ramp needs to be a drain monster if you don't hit it. My concern is how that ramp plays... TPA made it far too easy, even after tweaks. But if it plays the same way in FX3 as, say, the right (Dragon) ramp in MM, it's going to make...

    I will be shocked if it's not a "Halloween" 2-pack of Monster Bash and CftBL. Imagine, a Monster Bash that looks like the real thing. Though with Zen's physics I'm not looking forward to that left ramp on Creature.
