I'll quickly say that I liked the 5 minute format for this tourney, just because it was different, added a lot of tension, and generated some interesting data. I would not like it if it replaced the 20 minute format for the regular tourneys, because I found it just too stressful. Near-perfect...

The last time I looked at their point system, it was linear except for places #1 and #2. So going from 123 to 100 should have been worth 23 times what going from 8 to 7 was worth. I might be wrong, so someone please correct me if that's the case. I always go for the tables I rank lowest on...

FWIW, I remember nudging while the ball was among bumpers for the opposite reason: to try to get it to fall out, perhaps when a timer was counting down. I also remember people either wanting the ability to make the bumpers stop activating when both flippers were pressed, or praising this...

Tarek, I have a note to myself about the camera freeze: "at the start of the game, there is a long delay while the camera focuses on the skill shot. if you shoot while the camera is focused on it, the camera WON'T COME BACK, if Event Camera is set to ON (check). set it to OFF (bar-circle) to...

Tip for Theatre of Magic: play it on the DX9 version, then you can see the mirrored Bonus X lanes.

Nǐ hǎo! Welcome to pinballarcadefans and hope to see you post about TPA!

3X Lightning Lamp! During Multiball! Preferably the 3rd or 4th LL. On AFM, don't forger to have Martian Multiball running during Total Annihilation. Send the balls to the bumpers to keep them out of play and thus have more than 2 scoring for as long as possible. Use the Super Skill Shot to...

Wow, thanks for making and posting these, very helpful!

They mean the VR version of SPA.

While I'm inviting, I don't see switch3flip, EldarOfSuburbia, or Xanija on the leaderboard either :). The person at the twitch page who seemed to be in charge and added me was SweetVanaya. I just said something in chat like "i just registered for the tourney at mlpinball.com, could you add me...

Tarek: it works just like regular TPA tournaments, yes, except for the registration process, it's 10 tables and only 5 minutes each, and it looks a little different. It's a regular TPA tournament, that they've slightly modified for these "private" tourneys. So yes, you can play from home. I...

This tourney is off the hook. I finally registered and got in last night... I was a little wary at first because, well, I don't know. Five-minute games are a little crazy, and make me think there would be a big luck factor. But the usual suspects, plus Voof crossing over from PSN, and maybe...

I'd love to join. Girls is good. But, can you offer new Stern pinball machines instead of drugs? Wait til you hear me sing Black Knight 2000. NO WAY!

It's time to make some Magic.

Tarek Oberdieck: so how do you like this table? Also: you didn't break 100B and have it not count, did you? Just curious.

Some more quick things on this wonderful table. When you start the video mode, the DMD shows the possible awards: 1, 2, 5, 10, EB. When I had 4 EB and started it, the EB award was missing! I haven't seen this behavior in other games. It's a tiny thing but it shows real care. My best on...

I have a program that extracts the instructions for tables from the TPA program file. Here are the ones for Indy 500. They might be helpful if you are in a game and can't get to the instructions, or for other reasons. I usually try to do some very light formatting on these to make them look a...

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. It's a two-year contract with a player option for year two, so it's effectively a one-year deal. I'll predict a 77-5 season for the Warriors. Let's have a contest about that when October rolls around :). I don't think it's an awful thing, I'm very eager to...

I fondly remember Chicago Cubs Triple Play :). I have decent memories of FTBH but nothing in particular. It was well-regarded, and is #129 on the IPDB rankings, which is probably why Farsight is making it. I clearly remember Kevin Martin (PAPA owner for some time, Pinburgh founder...
