I'm heading off to San Francisco for the weekend (well, as long as the forecast snow doesn't mean my flight gets canceled). Staying downtown (Union Sq) and looking for the possibility of pins to play. I know the Metreon mall next to my hotel has some modern Sterns, according to Pinside, but if...

How long before everyone's avatar is some variant of the BlahCade logo?

Oooh, shiny!

That would've been STTNG in Grenoble in 94/95. Not that the bar was creepy, but maybe it is now? I have no plans to ever go back there mind. Pinball aside, that was a truly forgettable waste of 9 months of my life.

Can I kiss your Blarney Stones?

Just did all the wizard goals on my tablet, top score 56M. Those locks are very awkward though. Three, four clean shots and nothing registered. I don't think I'll be back now. NGG is a table I really want to like, but I just can't.

The funny thing is, the last few tables of Season 4, the kickouts have been variable - both Party Zone (the DJ saucer) and Starship Troopers (Arm Nuke and Planet/Recon kickout) have been reasonably random. Tilt sensitivity is tricky - you have to take into consideration many different platforms...

Try playing it on mobile sometime - it's a whole different (pin)ballgame. I've yet to crack a billion on mobile, but do so with regularity on PC. My best real score IRL is around 500M, and my mobile scores come out in that ballpark. It's swings and roundabouts. Is the Vault easier to hit...

Very much so x 10.

About NGG trying to do too many things at once... Try to avoid stacking Pop-a-Gofer and Hole-in-One Challenge. Pop-a-Gofer overrides Hole-in-One, which means the Driving Range ramp is NEVER lowered, meaning you cannot make the shot for the Hole-in-One to score the Special! Worse, the timer...

I still don't get this table. Well I get that Multiball and Holes-in-One are the way to go... Also, I really, really, really, don't like the right outlane, and the tendency for the jets to blast the ball right into it. I'm wondering how the heck I scored 548M one time, given most of my scores...

I have a love/hate relationship with NGG. One the one hand there are some great concepts that are well implemented, on the other there's a ton of stuff that just happens for no apparent reason (and I've read the instructions!! ). Plus the music and callouts are ridiculously noisy, incessant, and...

As I said in the groupings thread, typo in my AFM score: it's actually 99B not 992B. You correctly have vikingerik listed as the table winner.

Just for the record... I did NOT score 992B on AFM. It was a mere 99B, that 2 got in there by mistake on someone's part. I'd like to have got 992B and it would a helluva stop given the trillion rollover bug, but I'm not vikingerik!

That's my parents' wallpaper you're insulting, mister. You should've seen the carpet.

Happy birthday SYT!

Hmm. It says I need to provide proof, however nowhere on the form is a prompt to provide/upload that proof? Or was I missing something?

Well, I'm done with my run. Representative scores all around, but nothing spectacular of note. Time to go post it all up. [Edit] Here's my Twitch stream of my games, if anyone wants to sit through it all!! http://www.twitch.tv/eldarofsuburbia/b/630939527

My... me:

Okay time for a quick practice run. On my tablet so scores will suck. Take my son swimming do some errands lunchtime and then... do battle!
