If you followed Blahcade in Twitter you'd know we recorded today! We try and record every Sunday, do it live on blab.im for all to see. Should be posted to iTunes on Tuesday.

For most of you it's winter, cold and rainy, but here in SoCal it's sunny drive time! So put down the convertible top and enjoy some Earthshaker! as your table of the week. The first in Lawlor's disaster tables, with plenty of shots that were repeated similarly in other tables after. I will say...

Ah, but with those things you are expecting a return too. I've worked on a few films where they were financed by seeking backers first and and very limited budgets. What the main backers hope for is once the movie is made that it gets picked up for distribution, because that's when they'll get...

Am I the only one that can't tell physics unless I'm actually playing it? I do think if FarSight can ever get ball spin going, people's tune would change towards how realistic the physics are. I play many of these tables in real life, and the one thing I can say is no two tables play the same...

They haven't come out and said PC wouldn't be supported, just it's coming to mobile for sure. Stern us in control here, not FarSight. That's why all announcements are coming through their channels first. Put 2 and 2 together: the sudden drop of cab support being a reality came with 'business'...

I've used that exact argument before, that sports teams at the beginning of a season all start off at square one, and it's up to the champs to prove themselves again while every one else is gunning for them. The top tier leaderboard people complain that then they'd have to go back and do all...

That's some next level griping that applies to me 0%. Never attempted a bang back, don't really care to. Then again, in general I'm not much of a nudger. I played league last weekend and played against one of the top players in the world. I couldn't even fathom the amount of micro nudges he was...

I'll be there on Friday the 15th, wearing my BlahCade t-shirt, hopefully having much to talk about on Sunday when we record the podcast.

What does Sony have to do with Star Wars?

But again, these tables aren't trying to drain the ball, they're giving you the chance to complete all the modes. Now I get why that can be boring, especially if you're not bothering to try and work through everything. That's why these need to be viewed differently from s regular table. It took...

Alrighty, all wizards completed. Turns out I just really needed to focus to get Anything Goes. I'll say this much about the table, it's easily the best Gottlieb I've played in TPA. The shots are varied, the scoring is interesting, and apart from the audio, it's generally not annoying and fairly...

Zen pinball has actually been around longer than TPA, not sure if they were before the Gottlieb or Williams collections. They are certainly an acquired taste. I love the weight of the ball, but could use a little more bounce to their rubber. None of their ramps act as vacuums, and certain shots...

In our last podcast, we were lamenting the fact that Zen didn't have a new Star Wars table, and then I saw this on Twitter today! Have to see if we can get Barbie back on to talk about it.

Anytime photoshopped images are replaced with hand drawn is a good thing. Also, Spider-Man comic is timeless, Spiderman 3, not so much.

Except for the part where had it not been funded by said contributors, no one would get to play it, subscription or not. I hate kickstarters, I love the contributors. I wouldn't insult a single one of them, because whether you question their logic or not, it's because of them we all get to...

Hoping to see Hateful 8 in 70mm this week. Creed fell through the cracks but I'll totally check it out on video. Also looking forward to Revenent.

One wizard left, the anything goes mode or whatever it's called. Came very close to starting it.

What kind of scores are you guys earning without playing the extra balls?

Here's what my gut tells me: The Stern App will have modern era Stern only, nothing from Data East or Sega days. The app is a sales tool for Stern, and there has been rumors that they might do a 'legacy' line or re-releases. So I believe within TPA we'll get old Stern and then the DE and Sega...

A name is a name. I recently played the rerelease for Medieval Madness, and it played just fine regardless of whether it said Williams or not.
