Nope, shows I don’t own a single table, have a single coin or ticket. This is probably because I already got blanked from the non server. Had I not opened the app and turned off cell data and wi-fi, then this might have worked. Too late now, gotta wait for Monday.

Wow, somebody is feeling saucy today! Let's play a game of hypotheticals, and I'm gonna be exceedingly generous here... For every 10 Zen customers, I'm going to say 9 are fine with buying in packs of 3. That means Zen earns $90. Your argument is that you want everyone to pay $4 for each...

Well the game does have to sign you in at first to check for that option. If it can't reach the servers to do that, you're poop out of luck. One of those things nobody thinks about (consumer or developer) until it all goes tits up, so hopefully that'll also get fixed in the future.

Surprised to hear that you have to watch ads to play the Advanced challenge still. I wonder if that is because you haven't reached level 2 most of your tables yet. You'd have to do the math on whether playing 10 and 15 star is better than just cycling the 5 star over and over. You get on Basic...

Yeah, it's almost like they have the 'dump server' switch right next to the lights, and last man out flips the wrong one!

Cord cutters are starting to see this first hand. Sure, paying for Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime was way cheaper than cable. There was even money left over to get HBO Now. But now there's CBS All Access, Disney Plus, HBO Max, YouTube Red, Apple has something in the works, and everyone is...

I can't resist a good movie analogy... AAA game titles coming out that cost $60 compared to micro budget indies costing $20, true it doesn't compare apples to apples with the movie industry. Customer buying habits have been shaped differently over the years. Zen is obviously an indie studio...

No, everybody does not win, only you. The person spending the least.

Just checked, it’s asking me to pick my first table 😂😂 I’ll flag them on Twitter, sound like another server problem.

That would make for some interesting Zen enhancements for sure. Animated version of the host would be a must. Make it very cartoony, with prizes just stacking up on the apron as you win them. If they did a custom DMD rather than the alpha numerics, could do all sorts of wacky game show like...

I did ignore it, but not as much as that skiing one, seeing as how I can’t even recall the name!

A movie that cost 1 million to make costs the same to go see as one that cost 200 million. When it comes out on video, it doesn’t matter if the movie was a bomb or a hit, there’s a standard release price. This leveling of the playfield is important for keeping negotiations between actors...

I actually really like the release cycle. I find myself playing each new release much more despite my initial impressions of the titles announced. When it was monthly with TPA, I could easily dismiss a table since another was right around the corner. It’s how I managed to ignore most of the...

Zen has stated selling tables in packs and not individually is what allows them to sell at the price they do. In other words, it's sorta like how in order for a cable company to carry ESPN, they have to also buy Disney channel, National Geographic, and a host of other channels you the consumer...

All we really know was that the deal with Gottlieb was very favorable. That being said, if you haven’t made anything of the license in nearly 2(?) years, there’s gotta be some sort of dormancy clause to prevent it from being held hostage.

That sounds like a perfect fit. Would keep them busy for years to come.

I play with my spinner cube every single time I do a podcast. It’s a trick for reducing the amount of “ums” and “uhhs” one tends to do when speaking in such a manner. I will find a way to turn anything into a fidget device, but usually that means making some kind of repetitive noise with it...

The only Kickstarter I ever did was for the Spinner Cube, a fidget device. The price for 2 was what I would have paid anyway, and it was better than a standard fidget cube. Antsy Labs, makers of the original fidget cube, wound up slapping them with a lawsuit. The good news is, all orders from...

FarSight could have got all their licenses without a Kickstarter had they trusted they’d make their money back from sales. By the final one, and I’m not kidding, the thought was why wouldn’t we do a kickstarter since it’s free money to us? They knew there was no risk anymore, but there were...

First off, you no not have to grind through ads. The Advanced challenge no longer requires you to watch an ad before every play. Once you’ve won a challenge and are presented with the 5 cards to flip, you can get by just fine without flipping the one you’d have to watch an ad for, as parts are...
