If you've listened to BlahCade 26, you'll know that BlahCade is starting something new. Each month Chris, Jared, and Kay will pick a Zen table they are going to focus on. Midway through, they'll swap with each other and share tips and tricks they've learned, if any at all. This will be the only...

Hello darlings, it's me Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, to tell you once more little ol' me is featured for your table of the week with Scared Stiff. Now now, both hands on the keyboard please! Looking forward to you releasing all your pent up frustrations from last week all over me. Haunted...

They didn't borrow tables from PHOF, they photographed them on location. That was for Gottlieb collection only.

Well said and absolutely true.

Continuing with the Halloween theme, this week's table is Haunted House. I don't know about the rest of you, but I need all the help I can get with this one. I'm talking the more obnoxiously detailed the tips, the better. This is the antithesis of how I approach playing pinball, so curious to...

As a reminder, be sure you have switched over to 'BlahCade Podcast' in your subscriptions on iTunes or Shoutengine. The old feed will stop being regularly updated soon, and based on download numbers, only 1/4 of our listeners have done so. In case you don't know which is which, the old feed is...

It's actually not the headphones I care so much about, but the mic. I feel my rich, illustrious timber is not properly coming through. Ha!

I too have a CRT, mine's a 53" rear projection HD set, but I feel your pain. Still, I've long since abandoned fighting for my TV as it is ancient by today's standards and certainly shouldn't be catered to anymore. By now it's my own damn fault for not upgrading.

I don't deny that I shouldn't judge a table based on FarSight's wizard goals. The problem is, I'm obsessive with those things and me not being able to get one just angers me, which taints my view of the table. In my defense though, obsessing over the wizards usually hones my skills on particular...

Maybe because you can slap it? It's shaking a hand instead of giving a high five. Your wrists aren't bent but inline with your arm. It's an easier feel on your tendons when pushing the buttons. You can feel it by just making the motions in the air. I don't know, just a guess.

Okay, some thoughts... While I respect the difficulty of this table, I don't like its flow. The ball does so much side to side bouncing, and the flippers aren't fed well. Frustration with that comes from the fact that there are all these timed shot aspects of the game, but if you miss the shot...

Wait, so for "Jackpot X5" wizard, I have to light the 3 lanes up top within 15 seconds of completion of the last, 5 times?? Are you kidding me? There's barely any room for error! I keep choking on the "Double Your Score" wizard, which means I'm not having any more luck with the "5+ million" goal...

For your pinballing pleasure, this week we play Scarface...I mean Phantom of the Opera! I don't know what it is about this table, but the last couple of times I've played it in real life, it is louder than anything near it. So turn up your speakers and rock out to with the creepy dude in the...

Not soon enough. And when the hell are we getting more Venture Bros? As funny as Archer is, he's got nothing on Brock Sampson. #GoTeamVenture

I only had a chance to play one day this time, but that's good too. As detailed in a past BlahCade Podcast, I need limited playtime in order to keep the week long tourney sane and fun for me. Anyway, I'm out of the Bronze!! Barely. Of the 26 advancing, I took 25th. Pleased though, as I still...

I've heard from FarSight that they are willing to "rent" tables they want to make. The person has to be willing to let them have it for a month or two and do a complete tear down, and then when finished making the table it would be returned. This opens up the possibility of them doing some of...

I don't know if it's the same guy or not (it sounds like it), but Gord approves every membership request. And some times people take offense to this and start berating him and the forum with emails that look exactly like the one posted above. Can't imagine why they're request doesn't get approved!

Archer pinball? I can get on that highway...to the danger zone!
