    Advice on building a tabletop Virtual Pin?

    Hey guys, something I've been wanting to do for awhile now is build a mini VP cab. I wanna run TPA (DX11) and Zen on max settings, don't care about THE Virtual Pin software. Can someone hit me with ideal specs/graphics card? Best version of Windows for the job? For the monitor- What has more...

    Tables you were completely wrong about.

    All of this is true for me, too. SST is more fun IRL, though. I used to despise Dr. Dude, partially because it was one of the few tables near me for the longest time. I've come around to it, though. I even like the cheese-tastic presentation. It's still a ruthless monster, though. Playing those...

    Which Season Pass should be next on my list?

    Certainly some tables just need the real-world physics, kinetics and presence to be truly engaging. As a result, a lot of otherwise great games suffer in TPA. Some games are just so well designed that they are still really fun and have great staying power despite what's lost in translation...

    Tables you were completely wrong about.

    What do you like? Do you just mean the TPA versions or the tables in general? TPA was my gateway into Pinball. Indiana, man... :(

    2016-Aug-26 20-minute tournament: EBD, PZone, Diner, LCA, JY, FT, CBW, EDCoG

    Time tournies and tournament play are all kinda new to me. I'm just now getting to a skill level where I've started playing in tournaments IRL. In TPA, I almost always forget to play in the tournaments. I don't understand why Farsight doesn't run them in different formats every week. Seems like...

    Tables you were completely wrong about.

    It's drastically easier than IRL, IMO. All the Season 1 tables are. CftBL, MM, SS, TZ are all too easy... Every TZ I've played as been ruthless compared to the TPA version.

    You say no more Gottlieb, I say no more Data East/Sega

    Both Zen South Park tables put the Sega game to shame. I could live without more Sega tables, although I do like seeing more manufacturer diversity in the line-up. These Data East tables, however, are awesome and better than most of the Premieres: Guns n Roses WWF Royal Rumble Tommy Rocky and...

    Lethal Weapon 3 Kickstarter

    Never played it but it's gotta be pretty low on the Kickstarter Priority list...

    2016-Aug-26 20-minute tournament: EBD, PZone, Diner, LCA, JY, FT, CBW, EDCoG

    I learned that I hate this table through this tournament. On my highest scoring game I purposefully drained one of my EB's to collect the bonus before the timer ran out because I knew it would get me far more points than actually trying to play it. Didn't know about Midnight Madness. Lame.

    Stern Pinball Arcade for Gear VR

    For anyone interested, the deal is still live. If you have a compatible phone and aren't ready to spend hundreds to jump into VR, the GearVR is a steal at $60. The new version is marginally better, but not necessarily $40 better. Regardless, i recommend either model as a must buy for a Samsung...

    Which Season Pass should be next on my list?

    This isn't an outright lie, but it is a little disingenuous. I feel like they've updated the physics on about 4 tables this year. Good choice with Season 4. S5 is solid but S4 is superior, IMO. But I'm a Lawlor shill.

    TPA Has 17 Tables Made Before 1985 And 58 Made After 1985

    Well, I'll just say this: I'm 31 and I just started playing pinball seriously two years ago. I love pins from all eras, I would just like to see some more 70's and early 80's pins. Where I live, pinball is scarce. I actually quite enjoy older games in addition to the more modern ones and I'd...

    Anymore Classic tables from Bally?

    Flash Gordon is my most wanted table from that list.

    TPA Has 17 Tables Made Before 1985 And 58 Made After 1985

    That's nearly 40 years of flipper-based pinball being completely ignored and forgotten. Don't get me wrong, I get the appeal of the more "exciting" and feature-packed tables, but there are quite a few good games from the 70's and early 80's that shouldn't be neglected. I think Eight Ball...

    Eight Ball Deluxe

    Hmm, I don't think it's nearly as fast as F-14... I just played this game IRL earlier this week and the speed seems pretty close to the real thing, from what I remember.

    Table Pack #55 Speculation (October)

    Give me DE over Gottlieb Premiere. ... Maybe not early DE.

    Why do so many like Space Shuttle?

    Space travel, while glorious and awe-inspiring, is a terrible waste of resources. Fix the rock we're on now.

    Why do so many like Space Shuttle?

    Just played this IRL for the first time in over a year. Table is quite good!
