Wait, what? Final update? I'm scared.

...and throwing more money at it isn't going to help. Change needs to come from within.

Hehe, the similarities are real. Though in sure that'll now be argued about too.

No, the new disc was not free. It did have a whole mess of new music on it though as well as a completely new interface and game modes. Also, it was for a new console generation after not having a new game in over 3 years. In other words using this example, FarSight would introduce TPA 2.0 with...

Because if he's a Lawlor fan (and he said he is), that's 4 tables he'd buy anyway. If there were 2 more he was interested in, the other 4 become free.

Look, The Pinball Arcade is a different program from Pinball Hall of Fame. It has a different engine, it has a different business model, it is a front end that continually gets DLC added. It is not Madden or NBA 2K with different versions popping up each year with new roster stats. I say it over...

Should mention that Xanija sat in with us for the whole podcast and contributed nicely.

Well that's why rumble was invented for controllers! With you using a cab though, does TPA support shaker motors?

Sometimes stepping away is the best way to appreciate what is there. Try to avoid checking on if any of the old things that bothered you are still there. Instead just revel in what makes you happy with the game and you'll be much better for it.

This better be colorful! But not clashing ugly colors, complimentary. And I want the accompanying trumpet blasts for BAM and POW (which better be somewhere on the table). Really does have so much potential to be a fun, funny, nostalgia filled table.

Well if you are a Pat Lawlor fan, then you have to go with Season 4. Earthshaker, Roadshow, Addams Family, and Safe Cracker? C'mon now! Starship Troopers or Phantom will become your possible hidden gem, as they have their fans. Party Zone, Cyclone, Xenon, and Jack*Bot aren't too shabby either...

A solid honest answer, thank you. At Arcade Expo, with over 600 machines, they all start feeling the same. The row with early 80's Bally kinda grabbed me with how different their layouts were, and suddenly I was jonesing for that type of thing in TPA. Vector seemed the best of THAT batch to me...

As a former Vector owner, what are your thoughts? I've only had limited exposure to it but have found it really fun and unique. Good addition to TPA in the future?

Show the quotes, I'll eat my words. I know the exact reasons I did what I did with TotM, and being #1 was never even a passing thought. You've been in rare form this week, popping off on all sorts of things. The forum has been a bit anemic as of late, and healthy debate is welcome. Just don't...

No implication other than what you are reading into it. It's not the universal 'you', it's you i explicitly he's talking about. Not including the first part of the quote changes up the meaning.

You keep putting words in our mouths. Never once did I say a thing about only having fun if I can have a chance at #1. I did say limited entry play is a lot more enjoyable even in defeat than long term play with the same result. And I did come up with an answer to that, it was my TotM that ran...

He didn't say an unskilled player, and I actually read his whole paragraph as inferring you were a better player than him, thus the 'you' in question is regarding a more skilled player having more games will only increase his chances at winning. Think of it like the Hunger Games. Kids just...

Exactly. And based on comments where people landed in the top 10 of the tourney leaderboard after 5-10 plays and claiming that's a lot for them, versus my attacking a table 30+ times over 2 days sometimes to only land in top 20, clearly there is a skill versus luck equation. I'm not arguing it's...

I don't agree, and I base it entirely on my experience with single game playing in my monthly pinball league (real tables). I have seen numerous times where the top ten player just has a bad game, sometimes so atrocious that they come in 4th (we play in groups of 4). I had an instance just this...
