    When will the next Pinball Arcade table be released?

    I'm pretty sure Pro Physics and Pro Difficulty (aka "Tournament Mode") are the settings used in Android League Play. Table rake is noticeably steeper and things like random awards are no longer random - such as Stroke Of Luck in AFM always awarding 50,000,000, or the random award in HS2 always...

    Williams: getting my arse kicked

    Because the electromagnetic force is far stronger at short distances than gravity? I never got how the weak force works, but that's okay, because since I'm never likely to be the size of an atomic nucleus, neither it nor the strong force are ever likely to bother me directly.

    When will the next Pinball Arcade table be released?

    You're talking about the mobile (Android/iOS) Williams Pinball App, not the PC/console Pinball FX Williams Collection. They may be made by the same company, but they're two entirely different beasts.

    Williams' Collection Volume 4 guesses

    I'm not sure I can handle Sopie Turner playing anyone other than Sansa Stark so soon after the end of GoT! So that was a bit weird, seeing that trailer ahead of Captain Marvel. I don't think they can screw up the Dark Phoenix saga as bad as they did in The Last Stand. Possibly the biggest...

    Williams: getting my arse kicked

    Yeah are we talking the Steam/console version of FX3, or the Android/iOS Williams Pinball app? Because the mobile apps are a whole new world of pain (and either grinding, or fathoming how the currencies work to figure out how much you need to pay to unlock everything).

    Pinball that has been featured on TV and in movies

    There was an ST:TNG in a university bar where I pretty much think every tilt sensor was broken. I think it might've survived that treatment intact without a tilt. Dude might've just been trying an aggressive ball-save.

    When will the next Pinball Arcade table be released?

    In other words - they got they rug pulled out from under them, and chances are because they had a 12-month roadmap already in place for 2018/19, they had to scramble to fix things re: not being able to sell stuff (that was unfair on the part of Zen/Scientific, I feel - the whole "we've got to...

    Pinball that has been featured on TV and in movies

    Darn, beat me to it! But a couple of things: - not the original backglass, I assume for legal reasons? - someone was proud of their high score of 962K, and having watched someone darn near roll the table (999,990 is the max) I concur, that's decent! - pretty sure that's a slam tilt, how it...

    Williams Pinball Android Beta

    I spent nearly 2 hours tonight beating Junk Yard in the Level 2 1-ball challenge. So. Many. Bad. Apps.

    Williams Pinball Android Beta

    I just keep shooting the right lane. Multiball takes too long to set up and get going. Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk

    I'm going to go with: CV (headliner) WhoDunnit (mid-tier) Hurricane (low-end)

    Williams Pinball Android Beta

    Level 2 / 15 stars is tough (well, it depends on the table and type of challenge - some are far easier than others!), but because it doesn't cost me anything but time, I will usually complete the Level 1 and Level 2 challenges. I'm still only about half way to my first Level 3 unlock (it'll be...

    Volume 3 announced for march 19!!

    Seriously though, who has actually seen The Shadow? I have, on TV, but only after playing the pinball and coming to realize it was a movie. I don't ever recall seeing it being advertised in theaters. That being said, the year it came out - 1994 - I was studying abroad in France so maybe the...

    Volume 3 announced for march 19!!

    Too right! Not on the list and it'd be one of my choices. If you're aiming for a non-TPA, "real pinball is old and boring" audience, licenses that mean anything to them - as opposed to being good tables - are probably (in vague order): Star Trek NBA Fastbreak Corvette Indy 500 Terminator 2...

    Volume 3 announced for march 19!!

    It's clear they're going after the low-hanging (unlicensed!) fruit. And reading between the lines and judging by various speculation, and licensed tables will be either packaged on their own, or possibly with Zen Originals complimenting them. The example I recall is, say, WMS Indy Jones + two...

    Williams' Collection Volume 3 guesses

    I'd bump it up a notch, because (digitized recording of a song + voice acting) > a synth cover I'm likely to be 100% wrong, but where's the fun in not wildly guessing about these things?

    Volume 3 announced for march 19!!

    Of the unlicensed WMS DMD tables, what hasn't already been played a lot in TPA? From a personal point of view, I'd love to see WH20 (I proved that even when I was paying actual money to play it, there was no "too much"), and really they need to start exploring the System 11s. Bundle WH20...

    I'd put an * against Red&Ted because of the Carlene Carter music and voice licenses.

    Like I said in the speculation thread... ToM - yay CPub - gimmicky with a bugfest of a ROM Safecracker - I'd rather stick needles in my eyes

    BlahCade #166: Williams Pinball Vol 3 Interview

    I don't use headphones often enough to warrant buying Bluetooth. I have an adapter, it's just sitting at home, not at work. I don't want to (ab)use my work 'phone (GS9, still with regular jack) to listen to the podcast, but I'm tempted....
