But I'm important, dammit!! In all seriousness, we should all be very glad each time FarSight goes to one of these pinball events. Talk to Mike and Norman, express your enthusiasm. Invite them to play a table with you. Find out what tables on the floor excite them, and then play it for...

QBW took a lot of theme ideas from EBD, but they play nothing like each other. This is a shooters table, and a fantastic tournament table (at least in real life).

Stop drinking whatever Mola Ram is giving you!

You all can thank me for dragging Norman away from the FarSight booth at Arcade Expo 2.0 in January and marching him straight over to Eight Ball Deluxe. He had never played it before, didn't understand the appeal. After playing 2 games he looked at me and said he got it now. In case you don't...

Nailed it. I need Rollergames, I desperately want NBA Fastbreak, I hope we'll never see another Gottlieb Premiere. And yes, all System 11 tables FTW.

I think that's why I liked Iron Man so much, because it made sense like a regular pin does. Zen still makes tables that can be cryptic, but Force Awakens and Aliens were prime examples of doing it right.

The problem with Tesla is you HAVE to read a guide to figure anything out. The on table insert lights to very little to guide you, especially since half the time they are obscured. As for reading the DMD, Zen has never learned to pause the ball from release so you can actually read the thing...

Medusa is fairly interesting to play actually. In addition to it being a Bally widebody, it's also got zipper flippers for the upper half of the table. It's not as pretty as Embryon or Paragon, but I do like it better.

Actually the rule for closing a thread is there being definitive proof said table is next. That means either a photo from FarSight, or a link to something like achievements on Steam. In this case, I'm closing it due to the fact it is now in beta on Steam.

First, contact support@pinballarcade.com and raise your concern there. Second, you are not still running the public beta are you? Because they are no longer doing anything with that. Third, be painfully descriptive with your settings and how you have the table set up in the config mode. Take...

"Need" is an awfully strong term. "Tolerate" would be better!

Mousin' Around is far superior to Bad Cats. I used to have this bias in my head that Bally was the 2nd tier of Williams (many many years ago) and that fed into my confusion as to which was the preferable machine. As soon as j put my hands on a Mousin' 2 years back, there was no confusion any longer!

I'm going to agree to disagree about where Fastbreak falls in the remaining DMD list. When it comes to Rollergames and where it is ranked on IPDB, let's just say I don't put much stock in their rankings and never have. I would seriously question the validity of anyone's opinion if they honestly...

Should we do lists like most web articles do? Where we'll promise 10, it'd be spread out over 5 different really short podcasts maximizing our clic rate and advertising potential? I'm kidding of course!

I'm not going to disagree with F-14, as it looks amazing with dynamic lighting. High Speed just really made an impression on me as the DX9 version pulled off some impressive lighting tricks without being dynamic. As Jared pointed out though, no such tricks for Android which is why he wasn't on...

I found a solution for myself that makes this tolerable with HD and other tables that annoy me the same. I have my headphones plugged in, but I don't wear them. I can barely hear table sounds, mostly the mechanicals, but don't hear any of the callouts. Lame solution, but it works for me. On top...

What was your impression of Kingpin? I've gotten to play it a few times in our league and found it fun, but bordering on too easy. I rarely have reached a wizard completion on tables in real life, but after only a couple of games I did just that on Kingpin. Didn't make it any less fun, felt...

Yep, it was a blast. Before the game the host set up how severe the penalty was, anywhere from no penalty at all to losing your entire score. It wound up being my favorite mode to play. My concerns with Head 2 Head all have to do with the matchmaking lobby. I used to play Guitar Hero, Rock...

We discussed this shot in our podcast. Jared theorized it has to to with collision detection of the gates. Much like how your ball will be magically sucked through the outlane save gate on Centaur, with Cyclone you have multiple gates in a row. This has the cumulative affect of sucking the ball...

Exactly!
