Just my opinion: I think VR programs will be amazing some time in the not-too-distant future. But for now, I couldn't care less about VR. It's extremely expensive to use, and the games I've seen in it so far look much less fun to play than games on my boring old monitor. (I haven't actually...

I always assume it wants me to finish getting dressed because we are freaking late and we paid so much for these tickets.

Hey Snorzel, Wow, great! I'm sorry about my inbox. I let it get away from me. I cleaned it out, but it looks like yours is full now, heh. :) Thank you for running this tournament, I liked the table selection, and competing against everybody. I'm REALLY looking forward to trying the Zaccaria...

As Kaibun said, this happens on I think most tables with this goal or a similar one. TPA has to detect the special, and it has to do so by either inspecting the display, or noting that a particular sound clip was played (I think, and I think it's usually or always the sound clip). If these...

Could be... the next announcement was going to be at some show in mid-July, now it's June, so maybe a little earlier. I hope they don't skimp on Indy 500 though :).

Hee hee, nice!

Well, the Enterprise Star Trek is a Limited Edition. During the AC/DC Kickstarter, the Farsight or Stern folks said they would be making the Premium versions, not the Pro versions, and an LE version was announced for AC/DC as an extra purchase, I think. If you really want different versions...

A very nice surprise, I agree! I'm particularly happy because I've only played Indy 500 a couple of times, and so it's one of my most-wanted tables. If the Capcom tables really are coming, I think Breakshot would have a very nice shot... I think it was pretty popular, it's not rare*, it...

It's official that Stern's Star Trek will be released for Stern Pinball Arcade. Here's a paragraph from the current TPA executable file (PinballArcade.exe), which just might the intro text for it: Star Trek Vengeance Premium (2013): is another outstanding game from designer, Steve Ritchie...

Sure thing, they are mentioned many times in the executable: $ strings.exe -t d tpa/PinballArcade.exe | grep -i pinballmag 3401080 CPBTablePinballMagic 3607720 Dev\DoctorWho\Dev\PinballMagic\Dev\PBTBigBangBar\Dev\StarTrek\ 3609224 TPinballMagic_Enums.csv 3611192...

I am 90% with you, and props for giving reasons. So I hope you don't mind if I note that this isn't true for Victory, which is all about hurry-ups, and is very much about combos depending on how you play it. And the Bonus X carries over from ball to ball. :) Class of 1812 has some hurry-ups...

I signed up. I haven't played in one of these in awhile, but I'm like that prize omg... I don't play the four Gottliebs well, but I do play the Williams/Ballys well. Good luck folks and I'm curious to see the results. Will start playing as soon as I finish my current TAF game. :)

Well I have a few top 20's since the last list, but my highest is only #10 on Xenon :( :). I am determined to get a top 10 on Addams Family though.

Oh my goodness. Imagine it's an infinitely tiny amount of paint, then.

I don't understand. What is the difference between "about to hit" and "before"?

Here is a thought experiment that may bring some of the disagreement to the surface. Take a playfield-sized piece of plywood, and raise one end to make a typical pinball six-degree angle. Take a pinball, and dip it in paint, as we are going to want to view its trajectory. Get someone else to...

This may or may not be true for old Ballys/EM's: I didn't play them enough to remember. But it is absolutely false for at least WMS DMD's, and that is important, as I don't think this conversation was restricted to old machines at some point? Top players literally almost never lose the ball...

This is just not true; kinggo is correct. From above you said: "The flipper is in this instance the object that exerts the sideways force of the moving cabinet onto the ball, not the playfield itself." No, of course not: the ball would be several inches above the flipper at the time the...

I am thinking about making a supplementary document that goes with my top 100 list. This document would have lots of detail -- all the details used in the calculation of the list. Reasons for doing this: more transparency (a nice political buzzword :)), people can check for my bugs more...

Yes, this is correct. Another way to look at it: as with the tie-score method discussed recently, there must be the same number of points awarded for every table. The points for Moov's #4/76M/PSN score are being removed from his total; they have to go to someone else.
