Good bit of info! Unfortunately I have very different associations towards the word "gobble" ever since a very bad Affleck/Lopez flick.... :)

Good point about BBB but I guess enough people played it to have it rank 48 at Pinside's top 100. Ths puts it above WCS, T2, Champion Pub, Taxi, Black Rose, Junkyard, BOP to just name a few. I never played it, and I'm really curious about it.

I think I found another interesting railroad, this one concerns the main level EB. To get into that eject hole, you need to shoot it from main level flipper 2 (counting from left to right 1-2-3-4). The problem is how to get the ball on that flipper in a controlled way. It starts with a cradle on...

I read it, and I'm all in.

I get that, and I also played a lot of IJ in my college days and in VP, I want to see it in TPA probably also a because of my completionist nature. I actually own an IJ since a month so I even don't need TPA to play it.... :) I didn't know about WCS being such a big license, but if Blatter and...

I don't like the subject of this topic.... :) 3 licensed tables (TSPP and LOTR excluded because of SPA, otherwise those with Indiana Jones): - The Shadow '94 (Bally) - Indiana Jones '93 (Williams) - Star Wars '92 (Data East) and 4 unlicensed tables: - Big Bang Bar (for the rarity of it)...

Hi Geohoo, Facebook posting of your scores is not obligatory, that's right. And for another TPA place: I don't know any other. What I like about this forum is the "reader's digest" function that you get by clicking "what's new" at the top of the page. Those are the hot topics so to say. Another...

This is exactly how I play, except for two things (and those are probably why I'm still below 2M :) ): - I onetime ejects from the lower left-most flipper up the ramp or deadpass those to the right-most lower flipper - I do play on the lower playfield, attracted to that on/off EB like a magpie...

The in-app HOF leaderboard is not updating for a while now, and not everybody is on Gamecenter. I now have 44.331 HOF points and in-app it still says 37K. I hope Farsight will fix this and they have said a while back that they are looking into their leaderboard system in general because it can...

Some tables even recognize and reward extreme nudge measures like the infamous (and tournament-illegal move) death save. See https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/games-recognizing-death-save for examples. Nudging was discouraged in the early pinball days by nails driven through the side...

7.6 on IPDB: http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=2435 6.9 on Pinside (place 241): https://pinside.com/pinball/top-100/3 I haven't had any experience with it, but if you read the comments on Pinside, it seems a tough machine for newcomers. On the other hand, that speeds up the queue :)

:) This is where I come in daytime.... :)

If a video mode is well done (i.e. fun to play and more or less unpredictable) and the frequency with which you get to play it is not too high, I actually like the diversion from regular gameplay. Very bad examples are the inane (so called) video modes in CBW, the frequency, the scoring...

On our keyboards the easiest shortcut is AltGr 5. The euro sign is the third symbol besides the 5 and the % sign. See this link for an example: http://ess.ch/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/IMG_5218.jpg But if you don't have that: Alt 0128 (use the numeric keypad with numlock on, not the top...

Looking at their site, they released two more apps since the iOS Timeshock. Maybe that also took a big chunk out of their time, especially if the work on Timeshock is a fulltime job. Best thing to do is probably join their forums and get those questions out there.

Thanks VikingErik for clarifying. A few nights ago I held a new iPhone 6, a friend of mine bought one in Germany, it's not released yet in Holland. He showed me that if you pressed harder (not longer) on the screen, functionality changed (I believe it showed a kind of shortcut menu). This opens...

See post #795 :)

That's an interesting technique, I keep (/have to keep) my thumbs down on the flipper area and stretch out my index fingers to nudge (I use both the lateral nudge areas for 95% of the time, and up nudge the remaining 5 -with my thumb-, on specific tables, and often with those center pins)...

It took me a long time to become a serviceable nudger on my iPad, it's now second nature and I can perform a lot of saves that I couldn't in comparison with say two years back. If you just take up an iPad (or other mobile platform with touch nudge) without that built-up experience you will suck...

I would also like to know how that dumbing down would look like in specific terms?
