    My Thanks To All Who Participated In TotM / TotW

    Thanks also from me, great job. Without TotW I wouldn't rank #13 overall because it let me focus on one table at a time and improve myself. I think I must have upped my best in 80-90% of TotW! I would like to see another run like that, so you have my vote to continue!

    Request General Wish List Thread

    Apologies if this has been posted before (I read 3 pages back in this thread). Simple idea but really nice to have (thanks to Relaxation for the idea): have the pause menu display the real score while playing. This would be very nice to have on tables which roll over scores. For example it's...

    Bride of Pinbot: Tactics and Strategies

    This is a great idea relaxation ! Just have the pause menu give you the real score instead of having to guess and all the accompanying handwringing. Let's put it in an official request thread ok?

    possible tables to be in Stern Pinball Arcade (SPOILER WARNING!)

    Good question and I would like still to everything in one app. I think these are the reasons they will be seperated: - brand exclusivity and recognition: Stern may have had a strong influence in having their own app, makes sense from a business standpoint - compatibility: maybe emulating those...

    If you had to destroy one pinball machine, which would you choose?

    Blasphemy! :) I always cringe a bit when I see a stripped down cabinet that got made into a couch or something. Some pins get beyond repair I guess.

    LAH Strategy thread

    Nope, no controller here. Only time I have ever used one was for playing NBA 2K games, before that I was a keyboard PC guy all the way back to actually an Apple IIe. I'm so used to touch nudging on iPad that I probably will not pick up any more PC TPA and portability is way too important for me...

    LAH Strategy thread

    Always interesting if there are platform differences in ball control and ball trajectories. I have since found that there are a few instances in which the ball falls on the left flipper and can be one-timed towards the Wildcard/EB hole but they are sparse and not predictable nor plannable (is...

    LAH Strategy thread

    - Catch Dynamite Mode hole releases on right flipper, 4 out of 5 times it will go up a bit in the lane, trip the rollover and light the hole briefly again for another mode, quite easily one-timed. This works nicely for LAH and World Premiere. Stacking modes and then activitating Super Crane is a...

    PC - Request shouldnt have to pay twice

    It's an interesting question (there is no cross-platform crossbuy for any device): is it fair to pay the price twice? Farsight develops all their tables in a PC environment and then port them to other devices. Is the porting in itself justification to pay again? Even when it's quite easy (I...

    First Impressions

    I'm liking this table after a couple of games. Best score up until now has been 1.7B. I'm not that impressed with "World Premiere" as a scoring mode, or I'm missing something. I think milking LAH for all it's worth is probably where the points are, just keep extending that mode by getting those...

    Request Laser War

    Played it, fun layout, nice light show indeed. Wasn't impressed that much but I know I'll be having fun with it once it get the TPA treatment.

    (An attempt at) The top 40 TPA players from leaderboard scores

    Dizzer2012 I would be impressed if you beat Tarek to #1, you're definitely close. This is already out of reach for us mere mortals anyway.... :) /Start Dutch/ Wassup! Zit je echt op een Micronesisch eiland? Of was het toch eerder in de buurt van Breda? ;-) Hier en daar zijn er nog wel wat meer...

    (An attempt at) The top 40 TPA players from leaderboard scores

    Sorry to hear that Viking, but if I extrapolate what I have to do to maintain my position here to what you probably have to do to stay in the top three, I can't imagine sustaining the playing time, energy and focus needed. Anyway, up till now I always got that itch back to be scratched again...

    (An attempt at) The top 40 TPA players from leaderboard scores

    Life has a way of coming between me and pinball too..... :) Glad to have taken one step more towards the top 10, but it's a long journey and I see a lot of PC and PSN players in the rearview mirror, storming the charts... I'm a bit burnt up right now, after playing too many Jackbot games without...

    Table of the Week Club...Week 60: CLASS OF 1812

    If you are precise with your shooting you can keep backhanding the left ramp in single ball play for 1M a ramp. I saw a video posted by Tarek in which he made a lot of them.

    Pro Pinball

    Well they have at least three other Pro Pinball tables they could give the Timeshock treatment: The Web, Fantastic Journey and Big Race USA. They also did a great Nintendo DS table: The Ancients Beckon (great theme and toys). Maybe they will do another table quicker because they have the engine...

    (An attempt at) The top 40 TPA players from leaderboard scores

    Hi Dizzer, Thanks for the info, I thought Casino Run dried up for EB's after a while. I've only reached 34B and around then it became very stingy in general: quick bombs I couldn't cheat away or put out with "no bombs". Those poker hands became a real point source indeed, had it up at 600M at...

    Table of the Week Club...Week 58: JACK*BOT

    I've had less of a problem hitting the saucer from a right trap as described by Eldar, but it takes constant alertness and precision to avoid that instadrain from hitting the shot late. Will experiment with shooting from a left trap to see if that yields better results. And yeah, I had my share...
