Hi guys, Just had a great weekend at the yearly DPO (Dutch Pinball Open), the tournament that is organised by our own Dutch Pinball Society. Aside from the fact that I'm very happy with our third place in the team tournament (yes! My first real pinball prize ever :) ), it was also a great...

When Victory first came out I had a monster game of 187M, that only got credited for 87M. It wouldn't be good news if that's still the case.

Yeah, burnout is definitely a risk when going for the really high scores or getting sucked into a tournament. Had my share of that and put down TPA for a while.

Nice! I think this is definitely a table to keep pounding at, to get a good feel for patterns. I see myself nudging much more pre-emptively and reflexive then when I started playing it again at tne start of the week.

I started to play just for fun. Then I discovered the HOF point system for iOS and that for a while was my main goal. I would get the score to achieve 1000 HOF points and then go on to the next table. I was very excited to crack the top 10 on the HOF leaderboard. Some buggy behaviour and obvious...

Nice! Sounds like a really cool location, like the biggest mancave man has ever built ;)

Talking about hot wieners in a thread about losing your virginity is a bit much for me.... Anyway, Munich is just a 7 hour drive away from where I live....

How the hell did a Game of Thrones show up? I didn't know that was released yet! I only saw preview videos of it. I will see a couple at our DPO this weekend, but I figured they would still be prototype versions! Anyway, you hit the jackpot with this line-up, three all-time great machines in MB...

On their Facebook page they mentioned that they are in collaboration now with Dennis Nordman, he was brought on to fine tune the whitewood. They also said that they wouldn't be at Expo or DPO this year with a working prototype, which was their goal. I'll be at the DPO this weekend with one of...

That's quite the eclectic collection you have there, nice span of era's covered. Are the machines well maintained?

In Holland in the early '90s, tables were often set to 5 balls per game. I didn't realize that you could change that, but after some time they did, and it became more common to have only 3 balls, probably for the same monetary reasons Eldar already mentioned. I was initially pissed off about...

Just upped my best from 1.8M to 2.5M for #39 on the leaderboards. Whew! I knew there was a better game coming for this table, just couldn't muster the constant precision/attention that is needed. One little mistake and the ball is wild! Had some luck too offcourse, because some shots will lead...

I bought my standard version for around 6500 euros, but that included a complete restore and application of a playfield protector by a specialized company in Germany (I also could have a basic fixed-up version for around 5500). I also know somebody who sold his heavily modded LE version for near...

Maybe they had to cut cost after slapping gold trim on everything...:) agree that's funny business. Haven't seen a LE up close though, it could be all that, even with missing figures...

Theme, depth/ruleset, gameplay/flow, visual wow factor: LOTR I played it to death on VP, even reached Valinor twice and kept the highscore of 1.5B for some time on that particular version (JPSalas v2.3 for connaisseurs). I own one now (regular 2003 edition) and it will take a couple of years to...

I have the same system as you, latest iOS, latest TPA and iPad Air 2 and no problems. This sounds though a bit like the problem I had and still have with Phantom of the Opera: getting the top score leads to problems with the initials you put in (strange uppercase characters), afterwards it...

Yup, confirmed! This is annoying for people who use different devices to play, but also takes away a very safe backup option as I said above. I would very much like a fix for this problem!

Added an Indiana Jones '93 So my lineup now is: NBA Fastbreak (1997) Lord of the Rings (2003) Indiana Jones (1993) Sadly for now no more room or money to add to the collection. But I'm really happy to have my wishlist in the flesh so to speak!

I'll check up on this on my devices, because this would essentially prevent my own backup strategy: I use my other iOS devices as an extra backup in case a new table/TPA or iOS version give problems. I'm actually now updating to iOS 9.1 on my main device, so fingers crossed that everything will...

As I posted before, my primary suspicion was that he made a huge jump in a seemingly very short time, but I guess that is possible with a lot of playing time. I checked out his youtube channel and he seems aware that his scores are under scrutiny (see descriptions besides his videos). I don't...
