    Tips & strategies

    Yes, an hour long video isn't too bad at x2 or x4 playback speed to fill out some cells in a spreadsheet. My signature, PR Playlist(s), has all my current leaderboard score recordings for later reflection. I had some thoughts on, 'oh if I risk trying to stack victory laps is that worth.. what...

    Tips & strategies

    I was trying to play the long run, was doing great on ball 1 + EBs for about an hour and lost them all 15 minutes later. my breakdown, if you have to drain at least make it worth something. IMO this table is No Fear 2.0, Now with more pointless modes.

    The Dark Side of TPA: over-exertion and injuries

    Other articles commented it was Independence Day she was going to play for 555hrs 55min 55s (clearer source).

    California Extreme Announcement?

    Nothing on their site, or on their or sterns social media yet. Maybe no one went after the kickstarters farsight did this year.

    The Dark Side of TPA: over-exertion and injuries

    About a week ago I put in a few bi-daily sessions, a few hours at a time, my wrist and elbow were bothering me by the third day.. reminds me of when I had to take a pain reliever daily near the end of my MMO days. After a few days of rest I played for a bit on a different table and the pain came...

    High score videos?

    And you didn't record it to show others?! I'm stuck at 461K and suck at nailing that 8 ball shot. I often also lose track of rollovers on this table somehow.

    Hmmm two interesting things have come up so far in my tally x0 is the highest multiplier (actually x256) and you can possibly repeat skillshot multipliers by draining* *Bride acts weird with repeating or skipped digits, here's a better look at it repeated digits are as follows:122, 126, 128...

    Twitchstream General Discussion

    I liked your method, no high risk/reward loops or exploiting the bugs in the rom required, just making use of all those EBs they keep giving you. I'd only suggest you try to ease up on the speed of nudging and see if you still get your desired outcome, especially if you do it twice in a row with...

    Final results (29h:8m:44s), while close.. I should've had my tilt warnings up before making that next shot into the bumpers, could've stopped at 99,999,990,570.. for giggles of course.

    I decided to forge on ahead and did get past the 10B rollover but 20 skillshots into the new set I got a second warning and decided to pump it before cashing in. I'd also like to make a correction: 65,535,000 was not the maximum bonus value but was merely a coincidence, and I do not know what...

    Bride of Pinbot: Tactics and Strategies

    @Tarek, or anyone else, what might you do in this situtation?: getting close to the 10B rollover, bonus points are maxed with the current multiplier at x22, one tilt warning and you're back at x0 skillshot multiplier. would you... A) Drain immediately to collect bonus or redo the safety net (a...

    Building a Custom Control Box

    The pincab people might be using this project for nudging, plunging and an expansion option to let feedback devices do their thing. No one has tackled a realistic tilt-bob, pincab owners just let a real tilt-bob hang in there and a tilt is a tilt for them however you'll be making something many...

    Bride of Pinbot: Tactics and Strategies

    I'll just edit this post going forward when discussing the scoring potential of shooting the skillshot as this game progresses. The two 4.3s may be inflated because I lost focus and shot the ramp by mistake (or backhanded a wild ball up the ramp) and got two 50M rewards, a couple 5s and 10s...

    That comment in the log just notes I was shooting for the backdoor billion, which happens to be a 10 Loop combo. In order to get to it you have to do the 4 loop combo, you can wait for the lights to dim then start the 5 loop combo wait.. etc.. this can be primarily shot at the heart ramp but...

    What separates the best players here from the rest?

    In my example the ball hits the underside of the flipper and there's a vaccuum effect that sucks the ball up, it helps to watch it in slow motion.

    Bride of Pinbot: Tactics and Strategies

    The first 10 Billionaires clubs I thought I could get within the first hour or hr and half, like last time, before the chance falls off a cliff. This game had the first 8 within the first half hour and last two took ~1h 20m.. so you could safely choose to just shoot for the multiplier/skill...

    Since I've got a 4 day weekend open I'm going to try and tackle this table again, I put in 5hrs last night and here's it's breakdown so far... 1st to x255: 1h 18m 13s, 3.4228B or ((3.4228/78.216)*60), 2.6256B an hour 2nd to x255: 1h 38m 26s, 3.6583B or ((3.6583/98.433)*60), 2.2299B an hour...

    What separates the best players here from the rest?

    In DX9 before DX11 released I could drop the flipper the moment after a bounce and re-engage it and it would look like a live catch, it was harder to perform and it's gotten a bit easier since DX11 and its flipper tech. A lot of us now choose to do this, why? because either you perform the live...

    What separates the best players here from the rest?

    I'm more interested in this 'differences in physics between DX11 and DX9'. Could you give us a prime example, something that's easy to perform and notice, on a table we could try Dizzer2012? Tarek confirmed 'micro nudging' is something to not ignore, no reason to debate it. Sir Moovenstein...

    What separates the best players here from the rest?

    Getting tired of playing SS and end somewhere around the high 200M then dismayed by the high scores? I was in the same boat, IMO the first two seasons have boat loads of people playing the most popular tables so I'm finding the later seasons don't require 2+hour games to get into the top 20...
