    Medieval Madness Tactics and Strategies

    Just finished up that long game (should have put the ol' Pad away instead of going on), ended up with 7.7B for 14th overall. Some stats and observations below. Nice strategy relaxation btw! It won't fly probably on iOS though because 1 in x times you'll end up with a screaming SDTM from the...

    Medieval Madness Tactics and Strategies

    I recently started playing MM again, still found it to be a great table. I'm currently in the midst of a 2.5B game with 4 EB's on ball 2. Guess I'm going to see this one to the end. Still no luck with BftK, my Troll bombs get spent somehow automatically somewhere during the game, because I sure...

    Will the way Farsight handles a KS finally catch up with them? I will up my pledge if some sign of life is there in a couple of days. Let's hope there will be some good updates and more enticing rewards. Otherwise charge the paddles...

    He man, don't beat yourself up about this, you acted on your principles and nobody can fault you for that. I had my doubts about it because I believe in the idea of not feeding the troll. Conflict and negative attention are their oxygen and he goaded the other guy enough to have him get in...

    Well said. I offered the suggestion of not feeding the troll, but one of the participants in that particular group of three had the hypothesis that the more you feed the troll, the more active he would become and the more he would be reported by others. I'm not sure that's sound thinking.

    Well, as can be expected, Failsight is stinking up the comments section again. I don't know if he knows that he may be actually helping the kickstarter because he probably reinforces the "us-against-the-troll" feeling that could entice people to support the KS more than they otherwise would have...

    Table of the Week Club...Week 48: TERMINATOR 2

    Repeatable EB's (although hard with those targets timing out quickly) from the top-right cup (via the escape route) and also from bonus multiplier (but the same pesky hold bonus that renders some of them moot). It's the Super Jackpots (50M) where the points are at. Great flow but not deep...

    https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/1067367405/pinball-arcade-doctor-who/#chart-exp-trend Don't be fooled by the projection, it's skewed by the first two days. I think you can look at it two ways 1. We already have nearly 30% of the target in four days 2. But at this daily rate we won't make it...

    As far as I know, all tables are first designed on a PC and then ported to other platforms. So I fully expect a PC version! Good question to post at the kickstarter page, maybe they forgot to include PC.

    TPA needs physics like this?

    Wow, Groni back in business! That alone would tempt me to have a go at the new VPX! For me he is the undisputed king of VP physics.

    Criticism on Zen Pinball

    I have played a lot of early Zen tables like Sorcerer's Lair, Excalibur etc. I don't know if they got better at it in the mean time but as a long time VP and TPA player (and tables IRL), my main problem with Zen is that I can't get used to the physics. The balls feel sticky and fall down...

    Table of the Week Club...Week 45: STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION

    I never thought of intentionally going to Warp 9 to avoid accidental Warps afterwards, that's an interesting idea! I usually get those accidental Warps by shooting the Delta Ramp for 3x Jackpots or locks.

    Table of the Week Club...Week 45: STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION

    155B and now I'm fed up with the table for a while.... My single Borg jackpot was up to 800M+ at the end. Funny how the real bottleneck in this game is the "hold multiplier" because this will prevent getting the 8x bonus multiplier and EB the next ball.

    A new app on the way from Stern and Farsight

    One does not simply walk into an Apple Store, oh well..... :) I'm just an hour shy of finishing up watching the extras of the third Hobbit movie, then I have watched everything. Sad but content nonetheless.

    A new app on the way from Stern and Farsight

    I would go to a store that sells iPad Air 2 and ask if they would put the free TPA app on one of them to try. With screen size you have to figure in the fact that you will hold a tablet more near than looking at a PC monitor. I'm thinking about doing the same with an iPad Pro. I remember someone...

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

    it does sound like a bad connection problem: clearly some of your local scores were not saved to the leaderboards. It could also be bad luck in the form that the TPA leaderboards were down when you got your score. That may explain why you did get HOF points for that local score. Sorry to hear...

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

    It's not clear from your post what the problem is: - are you connected to the internet whn playing?: only then the TPA leaderboard will take your scores - are you logged in while playing? - have you tried logging out and in again? - try the HOF restore button after doing a remote safe

    Table of the Week Club...Week 45: STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION

    The Borg Jackpots also increase by hitting them from the cannon at the start of MB. If you can persist through say 5-6 MB's, your triple jackpots will have gone past the 1B mark. If the shields are down I believe you can still hit the Delta ramp for 3x jackpots, not sure about that though, doing...
