Another one where EBs are okay in the tournament, I'd say. Oh, and the shooter rod prize has shipped, just waiting for it to make its way from California to Pennsylvania. Should have evidence this week.

Well at least there will be more than 48 players in Silver next time. I'll say no more.

PAD died with Starship Troopers and the T rating in the Google Play Store.

4: the three you mentioned and Twilight Zone. I think FS would like to avoid Kickstarters from now on.

They've essentially replaced it with WSP.

I'm going based on my own 1.8M game, which finished with more than enough time to get into that upper range. That lower target is hittable from a running shot, but not from a trap.

Not cheap - around $750.

I see one every day.

I'm sure they do, and I'm sure that most if not all of those issues are in their own internal bug tracking database. A lot of them are art bugs, though, and the Farsight art department appears to be a law unto itself (I've seen this hinted at by at least two current FS developers). The...

Fireball Home Edition is not Fireball Classic. Fireball Home Edition is an SS game that was sold through stores (such as Sears) and has the same playfield as a few other similar tables sold in the mid-70s. Its artwork and name are taken from the orginal Fireball, and that's it. Fireball...

Quite right. ChromeOS is grabbing a significant chunk of the market share, especially in the cheap end of the notebook market. I suspect a lot of it is driven by the college market. GPUs are currently in the part of the cycle where the manufacturers are making incremental improvements to...

I'm going to guess it uses static images for the TPA backglass images. Since it has a custom front-end it can probably do that and with the SSD it'll be pretty seamless. Also I like their optimism that something that weighs 35lb and has a built-in 23" TV and PC can just be "whipped out and put...

Yep that's normal. If you've got a ton of bonus stacked up waiting, drain with enough time for the bonus animations to play.

This.

No.

No, we don't want the Fireball Home Edition. Really, it has nothing to do with Fireball except the name and artwork.

This. Send everyone a real pinball machine, with real silver balls, and all the MPUs and playfields and backglasses and everything else we need to physically construct each table ourselves.

Oh, it is completely based on STTNG. There are a few wrinkles but anyone familiar with the STTNG playfield will know most of the main shots immediately. Most importantly, the Delta Quadrant ramp is back and is just as much of a b***h.

In 20 minutes of FP, 2M-2.5M is about the limit. There's no runaway scoring on that table, especially with the lower 'Power' target so darned difficult to hit.

This is only the second PC tournament. Anyone who was already in Silver or Gold on another platform started there, but all the PC tournament "newbies" started at Bronze. 40 players were bumped up to Silver after the last tournament, which means there will be a few more Gold entrants for the...
