    BlahCade #172: Shifting Sands

    The very shows you are requesting are actually already recorded and in your queue, you just haven't listened to them yet! We hit these lulls right before a release where we've covered every angle of the past release but have nothing more we can say about upcoming releases. The regular FX3 game...

    Hypothetically How Much To Start A Pinball Arcade?

    I swear I am in no way serious about doing this... But the space that is open that got my wheels turning, it's 5500 sq ft and going for $450 a month plus NNN (which I really don't understand), other than that it doesn't cover utilities. Gotta imagine the electric bill would be pretty high for...

    Hypothetically How Much To Start A Pinball Arcade?

    Okay, so you walk into a pinball arcade and it has 20 machines. What titles would make you go, "wow, this place is phenomenal"? I'll list mine in a second, but keep in mind this would not be a collection you want to own, it's what you want to have fun playing. When I was going to all the houses...

    Hypothetically How Much To Start A Pinball Arcade?

    See, I think this is what would make the pinball side of things not work. Now you are courting an audience that just wants to play games, and they really don't care what. I've been to these places, they have 4 machines that aren't well kept tucked in the corner and a slew of multicade cabinets...

    Hypothetically How Much To Start A Pinball Arcade?

    There's a clear advantage to having an entry fee and then everything set to free play; you don't have to worry about theft from the machines. I worked at an arcade in the early 90's, and that was a legitimate concern. Most of the games had those ugly steel bars across the coin doors, and people...

    Hypothetically How Much To Start A Pinball Arcade?

    Oh this is pure pipe dream. I get on various daydream kicks and let them run their course. This one I just was having a hard time plugging in semi realistic outcomes with the wild success story I wanted. It’s like when you watch a movie and suddenly see something that completely spoils the...

    Hypothetically How Much To Start A Pinball Arcade?

    Ha! I was thinking I need a GoFundMe to send me to Budapest to report on a Zen Studios visit.

    Hypothetically How Much To Start A Pinball Arcade?

    Oh I know, right? Here's the thing though, I was watching Ninja Warrior long before there was an American Ninja Warrior show. My wife used to joke that we needed to open a Ninja gym, as people were only building this stuff in their backyards to get any sort of practice. Around season 3 of ANW...

    Hypothetically How Much To Start A Pinball Arcade?

    Oh I agree, someone at the arcade would need some repair skills. Messing with my two machines, I have come to learn that I can take things apart and replace them, but am absolutely clueless when it comes to the electronics. And then you take it a step further, where you start getting into...

    Hypothetically How Much To Start A Pinball Arcade?

    In my daily ruminations, I started thinking about what it would take to start up a pinball arcade, what you'd need to have besides pinball, and how long it'd take to before you were turning a profit. I know nothing of leasing a space, setting up a business, nothing. So who wants to play along...

    Williams Pinball App Data Collection

    Two days ago, zero coins. Yesterday, one coin. Today, two coins. And that’s playing Basic, Advanced, Pro, and Premium to 15 stars (usually). Meanwhile I earned over 1000 tickets each day. The balance of scales is waaaay off right now.

    Zen pinball, fx3, and mobile game difficulty modes and physics

    I'm not aware that a physics update was applied to the the current version of FX3, but it's possible. We are testing some things in beta right now, which is usually where things happen before going live to everyone else. But hey, glad you're liking what currently is out there!

    Planet Coaster (with added pinball!)

    Game is on my Steam Wishlist, but I think I need it sub $10 before I bite. I like the idea of putting a coaster in a pinball cabinet, but lordy there's too many upchains and not enough coastering!

    When will the next Pinball Arcade table be released?

    Can we please not insult game employees and not label forum members? Thanks, the forum will be much better for it.

    FX3 Williams Thoughts

    Yes, this happens with any ad that is interactive. On the lower left corner, there is a tiny symbol when these ads start playing. Press it, and a ‘report ad’ window will pop up. Select the reason and submit. Ad disappears and you’ll start game or collect reward.

    Williams Pinball App Data Collection

    If they don’t institute hard caps on parts, then those should totally be available to exchange for coins. Like 1 coin for 10 parts. Also, I don’t know if it was because of me losing a gasket on Twitter the other day or what, but after 3 days in a row of only earning 3 coins, I just earned 11 in...

    Williams Pinball App Data Collection

    That is interesting! I’ve not been able to devise any sort of pattern but clearly you’re seeing one. Keep tracking it, see if you can predict the next days choices.
