Blech. It's popular because it's an oddity in TPA. I think if TPA had a different EM instead, like Fireball or Atlantis or one of a few dozen others, it'd be even more popular. I do play Big Shot a lot, because it has my fifth-lowest rank, and games on it are short. It usually just makes me...

Color DMD! Well I'll have to tune in for a bit of this one, too. And with all the giveaways around these parts, sometimes I wish I didn't own everything TPA. I even purchased the one remaining custom ball last weekend. Hmm, maybe I can try to stock up on PSN or XBox1 stuff in case I get one...

Who is this person? Is he their new SPA programmer, or something? Or maybe the guy in charge of getting the Indiana Jones license?

But isn't this the correct list for Steam Bronze? He's got a score on JY, and his points for it count. It looks like Steam Bronze, Mobile Gold, and Mobile Silver are playing JY, and the other six divisions are playing Taxi. Whew! I think someone swapped the tournament ID for Mobile Bronze...

Wow. Thanks for the correction. At least clicking on a player's username shows the right eight tables. I wonder why Farsight did this? A mystery!

Yes... apparently Junk Yard is Taxi's substitute. The web page tourney leaderboard shows the correct eight tables for each platform. But in TPA, you can play Taxi on mobile, and you can play JY on PC/Steam (and probably on PSN?). Workaround: don't play them. :)

I don't think I totally hate it any more, but I do hate that it requires mastery of the !@&#^@&^# video mode to score. If I ever do master the VM then I might even like HD3e a tiny bit. I spent way too much time on it when it was in the tourney.

I was afraid of that. I had 8230M at 0:42 and Super Jackpot a couple hits away, and remembered that bug and so drained from multiball. I'm too lazy to look for more on the bug right now, but I think it's safe to go over 10B (20B, etc.) with a small point number?
