    Digital licensing laws need to be updated

    Twilight Zone, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Terminator 2, and The Addams Family were all crowd sourced. Zen has stated they have no need to nor ever will make the audience fund their game. If you look at the licenses Zen carries, clearly they have figured out a way to fund licenses without...

    BlahCade Weekly Zen Tournament

    I nearly forgot to play in my own tourney since it didn't end on its usual day! Then again, I placed 19th on Theatre of Magic so I may as well have skipped it! Here's your top 5... 1. XAF//SMerrell 1.2 billion 2. CrazyNewt 1.1 billion 3. Henrikf 1 billion 4. CousinPookie 993 million 5...

    Well you will always see ads for Advanced. Pro challenge costs 15 tickets, and Premium 25. For the record, those 2 chew through your ticket stash at an alarming rate. I'm now putting myself on an attempt limit so that I don't keep going into the hole of tickets spent versus tickets won.

    When will the next Pinball Arcade table be released?

    Oh, okay. I thought you guys had just borrowed those from the MoP.

    Correct. I just seem to recall right at launch, when I had no stars on any table, that the Basic challenge did cost an ad. Thing is I had stars on all my tables within 2 days and much has shifted and changed since then. I can't speak for what someone starting out today fresh as a daisy has to...

    I don't know if it is or not, that's what I'm trying to figure out. The more detailed info we have, the better we can understand what's going on. On my other thread mentioned above, for tracking stats, I had a user contact me for my chart I've been filling out as they wanted to do it too. I sent...

    So, what really happened....

    A pinball speak-easy? Sounds like fun! Who's knows the password? Licensing laws are in place to protect the license holder. This wasn't an issue pre-digitital, in that physical items have a shelf life and then disappear for new physical items. Digital, well it can theoretically last forever...

    So let's figure out what happened there. For me, the Basic challenge does not cost anything. No ads, no tickets, nothing. Advanced challenge however still costs one ad watch. So are you talking about the Basic challenge or Advanced? If the Basic, did you recently upgrade ToM to a certain star...

    The mobile app is uncensored. Only the consoles are dealing with that, and they don't have ads to watch.

    Safe Cracker on basic survival, the 10 star point goal is the exact same as the 15 star goal, at 450,000. Only table so far I've tracked that had identical point goals for different tiers.

    So, what really happened....

    This is sort of the new digital reality though, isn't it? I mean movies get yanked off digital platforms and lockers because the hosting site no longer pays for the license, and it's probably why a competing company buys the license for themselves. Zen had the South Park license and a FIFA...

    Hit me with your email by sending it to blahblahblahcade@gmail.com I can send you the chart I'm currently using that's setup with Google Sheets. Sven (aka Xanija) might be on board with creating an actual workable spreadsheet that real data can be pulled from, but it'll be a few days. I've got...

    Zaccaria Pinball Wants To Answer Your Questions!

    Thanks Citizen. My timeline for Zaccaria is not up to snuff. Were the retro tables releasing then at the same time as the recreations?

    Zaccaria Pinball Wants To Answer Your Questions!

    I have played every single table they have out. I only came upon one bug that rendered a table unplayable, and that was the ball dropping clear to the floor in the launch lane. It has since been fixed. Using hyperbole like "unplayable" makes me question everything that follows, because I have...

    FarSight’s contract for WMS was with the prior rights holder to Scientific Games. That contract stipulated they could not mod the tables in any way and everything had to be as it was for the main production run. Scientific Games gained control of those rights midway through FarSight’s run, but...

    Google won’t let them reload the app without them first upgrading to certain new standards. Think of it as bringing a building up to code. It was fine with the city when built, a disaster happened, but the city won’t let you fix it back to the code standards it was, you have to fix it how...

    I’ve been playing Clash Royale for 2 years now, this is how their clan system works. No videos to watch, but the currency system is not too dissimilar from what Zen is doing. I’ve been playing Game of Gems for a few months now, it too has clans, but trading isn’t a part of it. Instead it’s...

    And if they didn't have a freemium model, I wouldn't play because I don't buy stuff on mobile. Only reason I have TPA on my phone is because I got review access for the BlahCade Pinball Podcast. The only other Zen tables I have on mobile are Aliens vs Pinball (grind to earn table access, watch...

    Williams: getting my arse kicked

    Yep, machine maintenance sucks. I have 2 machines, one which has been in pieces for years now, the other has a triggering target problem I can't chase down with my limited knowledge of these things. Even new machines are full of gremlins to eliminate eventually. Nothing beats playing a real...
