    Table of the Week Club...Week 22: BIG SHOT

    But it hasn't gotten people into buying EMs in TPA... apparently the reason that there have been no EMs since Central Park is the lackluster sales of it and Big Shot. Or my understanding may be wrong. Either way, my argument is that choosing another table, perhaps Fireball or one of the other...

    Strategy for this table.

    Good questions... I have a note that says after Butte, you can go to Salt Lake City or Las Vegas. This needs confirmation. Most of the rules for which city you can visit next "should" be obvious, but they aren't to me... I know the color can't repeat, and the general E -> W direction, and that...

    Strategy for this table.

    Las Vegas must certainly be played. I am not convinced that Denver or New Orleans should, especially if you've already got 6X. I think you are making a big mistake about Super Payday: your focus should be on the Wheel awards, not the shots to re-collect city points (except for a re-collected...

    Strategy for this table.

    The Wheel isn't that hard to set up... just use Las Vegas and Super Payday. I had 92 Wheel awards in my 67B game; that's 7 or 8 EBs, if I'm figuring correctly (the correct number is in my original post). An optimal strategy must mention Las Vegas and Super Payday, I think. I'm generally not...

    Strategy for this table.

    Since the alternative is letting the ball roll down to a 100% caught ball on the L flipper, and Big Millions doesn't award souvenirs or advance toward an EB, I think shooting Red is a very poor strategy.

    Uh oh guys, JPelter has discovered the tourney. He's started with a #4 on Space Shuttle. Looks like SYT took offense to my RBIoN score and grabbed #1. Eldar has been pouring it on too. This thing looks like a blast... maybe it'll be like PAPA qualifying and the #1 scores after the 1st day...

    Thanks a bunch SYT! I don't have PSN or mobile (nor do I want them, well I'd take a free PS4), so I suppose I'm rare :). No worries, I've got the rules down now. I have doubts that "grind fest" is an appropriate term for this tourney, but we'll see. I know that having lots of relatively high...

    I'll add a +1 to this. I would still love for the date a score was made to appear on the website (beside the score) :).

    PC tournament starting on June 29

    Thanks, guys. I must have screwed up with my note on HH. So basically this is like a new leaderboard for 20-minute games, but only for 8 tables. I don't know if I'm upset with unlimited tries, now that I know that's the case. I favor allowing the number of tries that maximizes the importance...

    PC tournament starting on June 29

    It'd be nice if there were some rules. Or maybe I'm just dense. I started with a game of HH, guessing that I was allowed one game. I crapped out with 106k and 17:52 left. So I then guessed that I had 20 minutes total, and could play as many games in that time as I wanted/chose. I tested by...

    Ask Questions of Bobby King and FarSight for July BlahCade Podcast!

    Are there any plans to replace the ultra-low resolution graphics? For PC DX9, not DX11 (my computer isn't nearly strong enough for DX11). Are there any plans to fix the green lights over Creature in Monster Bash? (All four are always on; the number lit is supposed to equal the number of shots...

    Can you confirm that there will be any more seasons beyond Season 5, and (at least) how many?

    I hope the website leaderboards will soon have updated high score lists. The in-game leaderboards seem to be updating ok now, and when in the RS table, I can view other tables' leaderboards, and they have at least my recent high scores. The website leaderboards, and the .csv files, have data...

    Table of the Week Club...Week 22: BIG SHOT

    I've always been somewhat into EMs, if they are good or historic tables. Big Shot is neither*. I'd love to see TPA start making EMs again, if they were tables like Fireball, Capt. Fantastic, Wizard, Slick Chick, etc. Note: El Dorado City of Gold is a nearly (?) identical version of the...

    Table of the Week Club...Week 22: BIG SHOT

    I think for Central Park they really are specials/credits. The add-a-ball version is Hurdy Gurdy; in that version they are extra balls. http://www.ipdb.org/search.pl?any=central+park&search=Search+Database&searchtype=quick#481

    So Zen visited Stern today...

    Why would they have to do this? Zen's stuff seems to sell just fine as it is. :)

    How to tournament difficulty a game.

    I wish that tournaments could make tables hard enough to leave EBs on. Removing EBs takes way too much strategy out of most tables, and I'm getting tired of it ;). Every table should have a (high) per-game limit, though. Points for EBs would be a possibly acceptable substitute, except that...
