At Arcade Expo 2.0 I made sure to have Norman (producer and sound engineer of FarSight) play Breakshot, and he enjoyed himself. Right next to it was Pinball Magic, which he couldn't stop gushing about. I bring this up partially because since AE has it, FarSight is able to arrange to visit and...

Gah, I didn't mean LAH but LCA! I dislike Data East tables for other reasons :D And no, I didn't mean to make it seem I was saying Victory has no flow or hurry ups. Late night ranting, the writing got sloppy. Victory is an oddly addictive bad table. If you threw in WMS rules and modes, it'd be...

Spent a bunch of time playing this today. Table blows, and I'm not the least bit surprised. I don't care how good an audio package is (and honestly, I think Xenon is better) if there's nothing interesting to do within the rules.

I have yet to be impressed by a single Gottlieb table unless it WAS an EM. And then we're talking about being impressed by something with very limited rule sets. Been playing TX Sector today, and to me it just blows. People were falling over themselves about how awesome the sound package was...

Good lord, you actually listened to one? Huzzahh!

All I know is in my experience with real machines, what JPelter is talking about is absolutely true. It is most notable on Bally widebodies or EMs where the ball is rolling slowly as it is. You can see a SDTM coming from a mile away, and there is zero you can do about it without slam tilting the...

Yep. Sometimes the toys and features that make a table interesting in real life just don't translate to digital. While I like Safecracker a lot, you simply don't get the sense of how small it really is in TPA. Same thing goes for the wide bodies of a Genie or Twilight Zone. Every time Rescue...

I honestly thought we were going to have Brad on for 15 minutes tops. Next thing I know, we're running long and he's going strong! Was a lot of fun to talk to.

I certainly need Rollergames before it's all over. I think the community at large would be disappointed if Bonzai Run didn't make it in, even though I don't think it's a great table, just a unique design. If FarSight gets head to head working sooner rather than later, I'll hold out hope that...

Recorded podcast yesterday and Brad of VP Cabs joined us for the entire session. I think you guys will really enjoy hearing his story and everything VP Cabs has going on.

So are we saying these are the actual photos FarSight used? Because I've seen in person their Genie, and it was not that image at all, but instead very ball worn in places like the middle, where paint was giving way to wood.

Count yourself lucky then. Bad casting, bad story with the 2 I saw.

My only gripe with Origins was the horrifically shoddy CG work they did on Wolverines blades. I had no problem with Deadpool because I had no clue who he was! Now that I know, I'd be pissed too. Except a proper Deadpool exists now, and they got some mileage out of that blunder, so it all worked...

Geez, yeah. Sorry, first response of the morning, brain still not functioning! Last Stand was terrible. I even like Wolverine: Origins if that tells you how much I dislike Last Stand.

Not excited by Suicide Squad because of Warner Bros track record with DC movies. They always want it both ways, a dark serious movie with brutal violence, but gotta keep it PG13 so pull back and don't fully commit. Shoot, I didn't even go see BvS because it just looked plodding. I'll enjoy it at...

Oh, good call on River!

That was me with Rise of the Tomb Raider. I easily could have sped through the story, but I wanted to milk it for all it was worth. Helps that hunting relics in that game is so much easier than UC, because they pop up on your map as you progress. I never even found half the relics in any of the...

We played TotM with allowing people to choose 3 or 5 balls. It winds up being a wash for most people with higher point values but fewer balls vs lower point values and more balls.

I live in the middle of SoCal suburbia. My city is surrounded by FiOS. The internet available to me is atrocious. If you go with the phone company, top speed is 7 mbps. Only other option is to go with cable, where top speed is 100 mbps. While that is good, it costs an arm and a leg. The simple...

The logic I'm applying is this... If SPA is not going to be based on seasons, and instead gets released much like Zen does for theirs, that will become the new normal. So that will be happening on the game that is generating all the buzz, while TPA finishes out with doing seasons with 6...
