    Axl and Slash are going to perform again as G'n'R! Hurry FarSight...

    You gotta wonder why whoever called in the prescription didn't use Axl's real name (William Bailey, or Rose, depending on who/what you want to believe)... I mean if you want to preserve anonymity or whatever. Also it's easier to spell?

    User-Created Tournaments - Why Not?

    Paying for more tables is the only way they get money. Adding new game features takes time away from adding new tables. User-created tournaments would be an enormous amount of work to implement, both on the front end and on the back end (have you ever been a software engineer or systems...

    Feb. 26, 2016 tourney: HRC, CBW, Flight2K, CentPk, BH, TotAN, SpSh, Hurr/NGG

    http://www.pinballarcade.com/Tournaments/ Three separate tournaments. "Mobile". "PSN Network". "Steam (PC/Mac)". Segregation of platforms. Already done.

    Feb. 26, 2016 tourney: HRC, CBW, Flight2K, CentPk, BH, TotAN, SpSh, Hurr/NGG

    Oh, it's over? Well I guess because Tarek didn't participate this time I finished one place higher than I would have otherwise :D Just annoyed about my F2K score - I had everything set up on ball 1, and got house-balled on my last 3 balls so left over 3 minutes on the clock.

    Wii U version coming out in a few weeks

    That's the worst case scenario, yes? I don't think anyone knows how Nintendo ID plays with 3rd-party accounts like TPA, unless there's a definite example from another game. Sony allows TPA leaderboard scores to be shared outside of PSN, it's only Microsoft who don't allow that. Really doesn't...

    Doctor Who Kickstarter

    Trouble is there are only 6 post-Original Doctors: 8. McGann (blink and you'll miss him!) War. Hurt (and there's a thorny subject of whether or not he really counts, at least among "real" Dr Who fans) 9. Ecclestone 10. Tennant 11. Smith 12. Capaldi I'm thinking use McCoy (or T Baker? Please?)...

    Wii U version coming out in a few weeks

    Well I still don't know if I'll get it on the Wii U, it depends on how it's priced. If it's a free download with TOTAN unlocked, then sure, I'll grab it, and use one of my Dr Who KS codes to get that, but I don't see myself paying for tables on a third platform.

    Wii U version coming out in a few weeks

    You'll have to start a new save for goals and high scores. Local high scores are stored locally, only your all time high scores are tied to your TPA account. Also no idea how they have to interact with Nintendo ID.

    Request Star Trek original series DATA EAST

    Never saw the Brannagh/DeNiro Frankenstein, but Starship Troopers is a great movie if you are able to switch off your brain on demand. I happen to think the movie is better than the book, mainly because the movie downplays the politics and focuses on nuking bugs.

    I've seen The Shadow. Suffice it to say, the pinball is immensely superior. Also Shadow has an in-built advantage vs Johnny Mnemonic and Congo, because I've played the pinball. I wouldn't mind Demo Man, but Shadow is better.

    Table of the Week Club...Week 53: CHAMPION PUB

    Well I just got 828M, which obliterated my previous best. I think the Door Prize idea has legs. I couldn't land on Smart Punches to save my life that game, either - I think the only two I got were from the Jump Rope and a Bar Fly.

    Also the photo on the landing page obscures the text and various logos (G+, etc) at my resolution (1280x1024). The text is right on top of the reflection off the floor and the various pinball tables. Also... please stop it opening a new tab every time I navigate to a new page. I click on a...

    For me at least, the Blahcade logo when you go into the "posts" is a placeholder. So maybe a typo in the URL there or something. You're using Disqus, which is pretty handy, I just wish I could set it up to use different profiles in different places (there's a baseball blog I occasionally...

    Apart from the color, that's pretty much what my dad has. Right down to the pattern of the ridges.

    Honestly, I don't know. After 35 years of always calling it "the toasted sandwich maker", that's what it is. Personally I use the griddler, but of course it doesn't do the "sealed-in sides and steaming the contents" thing, though I suppose I could get special plates for that. Or maybe...

    Jaffle maker. I don't know what they call them here in the US. But I instantly recognized the description of the toasted sandwich maker that my dad has been using for the last 35 years (I last visited in 2015, and it was still operational, so I assume it's still working).

    Table of the Week Club...Week 53: CHAMPION PUB

    On the only real Champion Pub I've played, that was the case also. So it's not a TPA railroad thing, it's intentional by design.

    Wii U version coming out in a few weeks

    Ouya is just the Android version. Since Google Play and Steam are by far the easiest distribution platforms for FS to work with, they get updates without any significant delays. iOS used to be quicker, but Apple has recently been seeing delays in approving content (usually 1-2 weeks). Sony...

    Table of the Week Club...Week 53: CHAMPION PUB

    It's a shame I just can't get along with the actual game. I really like the overall theme, and the art and sound package. There's just no flow to the game itself, and everything is directed towards starting and winning fights, which can at times be random in how they go. There's also the...
