    Stern Star Wars Revealed

    The Pro model looks like a$$ without all the wire trails. Also, why is it that everything Star Wars has to use the same Han and Luke images? Han shooting his blaster, Jedi era Luke about to rage. I don't know, the look of this thing looks so generic. And on top of all that, it's only original...

    Physics Tuning Related

    While you guys were looking at the ball speed, I was looking at how much higher the ball bounces off the flipper in TPA compared to the real table. But yeah, we don't know how FarSight has their machine set up, and a lot depends on that.

    Table Pack #64 Speculation

    Oh yeah, showroom quality is gonna run more for sure. There's a couple of threads on Pinside about guys that do tables up for 'best in show' competitions, and it's unbelievable what they do to a machine that looked fantastic even before they got their hands on it.

    Table Pack #64 Speculation

    Jealousy alarms just sounded in my head. Curious to know what price you get it for and in what condition. I had a guy who could sell me one as he described it, practically new in box, for $2200. Unfortunately I couldn't have bought it even if it was only $1000 as I simply don't have the funds...

    Table Pack #64 Speculation

    I am no longer requesting Rollergames because I fear it will jack up the prices on actual machines and I really want to buy one but can't afford it yet! In its place I'm going to guess it's that other rollerskating themed game, Vector.

    TPA on Wii-U is officially dead?

    I'm not here to slight your frustration. I do think it's slightly amusing though that you supported the 2 systems I think were most obviously destined to lack continued support. I wish FarSight would do what I just saw happen to my son playing Terraria on PS3; an announcement of one last patch...

    BlahCade 88: Arcooda Been a Pinball Wizard

    Thanks for the before and afters. What you can really see is they removed the baked in lighting effect, allowing the real colors to be present. That way DX11 lighting can be added, giving a truer on/off state to the art. This is the curse put upon all the art for at least the first 3 seasons...

    This season I will NOT be buying a season pass. Reasons within.

    I think it is very wise not to purchase the full season if you feel you'll be getting a repeat of season 6. While you are truly demonstrating 'voting with your wallet', keep in mind that if you wind buying ala carte 6 of the 10 tables, you'll be paying the same price as a season. But yeah...

    BlahCade 99: A Mother of Days

    Out of curiosity, are people fine with how much I've been talking about EBD and Firepower fixes? There just hasn't been a whole lot else to talk about!

    Buying a PS4 just for Pinball Arcade

    Not only the largest selection, but they go on sale all the time. When I bought my first wave of Zen tables, I picked up 24 from a Humble Bundle offer for like $6, and then another 12 from Steam at 75% off. TPA goes on sale for seasons 1-4 now at half price during the winter or summer sale. My...

    Buying a PS4 just for Pinball Arcade

    My 2 cents... Know going in that with the consoles, you might only receive blocks of new tables twice a year. That also means bug fixes or game issues won't be addressed except for when those tables drop. I can't stress enough that you'd be better off purchasing the game for PC on Steam, but I...

    TPA Tables You've Played For Real

    You can find Goin' Nuts in Las Vegas at the Pinball Hall of Fame. I've seen Space Shuttle, Cyclone, and Cactus Jacks there too, but the normal games like that rotate.

    Which table(s) would you recommend for a beginner, besides Scared Stiff ?

    Any yet those are the tables that will dismantle you in less than 3 minutes. As a beginner you want to feel like you have a chance, you want a reward. To me that means either having modes start or getting something like multiball. As a kid the thing that attracted me was ramps. If I could hit...

    Switchting TPA from Console to PC

    You already have a controller that will work awesome on PC, your PS4 controller. You can either link it through blu-tooth or do what I do, which is plug it in with USB cable. Download DS4Windows, it's free, easy to set up, and works better I feel than having it integrated with Steam as then you...

    Found some interesting variations

    I've now owned the real deal of this table for a little over a month. I tried out all the settings as the manual 'recommended', and it makes the table way too forgiving. I then set it up for everything to be on 'conservative' setting. That changes your strategies a bit, as there are no extra...

    Ten specials wizard goal

    I didn't realize they meant all in one game at first, because on my actual machine I have it set where you can only earn 1 free game per credit. This is my last goal to get, and yeah, it's a bear. For those looking to game the system a bit, you can always use the THING ball to quickly get DELUX...

    BlahCade 95: King of Pin

    A well thought out position. Thank you for trying to come up with something that finds common ground.

    Head to Head Public Beta

    Yes, if you see 1 in the queue, that's you. Also, the queue does not seem to update that often to accurately show how many are in it.

    Comment by 'shutyertrap' in article 'Head to head beta testing today - UPDATE'

    Well, I tried. Never showed anyone in the queue, but it would connect me to people. Problem is, it'd find the match and then not actually start the game. There's another try on 4/19 at 11am Pacific per FarSight, so hopefully it gets patched and will work. Oh beta.

    If anyone wants to give this a try, I will log in at 2pm Pacific on 4/18 to have a go.
