You ain't kidding about the TotM / TotW as evidence of how much I still like TPA. I found myself not playing as much, ignoring the newer season tables, and that bothered me because I still very much liked the game. Shoot, it's still the only vid pin I play (sorry Zacc!). I realized what I was...

To meet what our community wants, two things would need to change. The first would be for FS to hire enough people so that nobody is having to pull double or triple duty like they currently are. This would allow them to truly concentrate on tasks. Mike is currently dealing with both DX 11 and...

It's not like you're trolling us! We welcome all input, and obviously not everything we say is gonna sit right with everyone. I personally don't think this was anywhere near the worst we've given FarSight, but perhaps the Zsolt interview just magnified things. And hey, next time we're bound go...

You bastard!

New BlahCade is up and it is quite the show! It's called Big Nuts for reasons purely pinball related, we swear. This time around there is a dramatic recreation of the interview Jared did with Zsolt of A.S.K. Homework featuring Bonzo as the voice of Zsolt. Ton of questions answered, not to be...

As far as I know, it's just a lighting upgrade, with graphical tweaks where demanded by the lighting. There might be some other things snuck in, but physics I imagine isn't one of them. After all, wouldn't that mean a new engine build?

I was shocked to boot up this table and see I didn't have a single table goal accomplished! I played the crap out of it on the PS3, but apparently hadn't touched it since switching over to PC. Remedied the standard goals in only one game of playing. Will try to knock out Lyman first and collect...

On a real table, you'd have one bulb under an insert typically, two or three if it is long (like FIRE and POWER on Firepower). It is common to be able to see the actual shape of the bulb under some inserts, and for sure intensity is not uniform across the entire insert. If the table has LED...

How spooky, our 13th Table of the Week is Monster Bash! This is the first table for our next cycle, and I'm sure all you playing on PC will wanna try it out in the DX 11 public beta. As usual, post your comments and tips for this table and how to accomplish the wizard goals. Sign ups for the...

Even in rooms where no lights are on, you can still see the ball. Super reflective surface picks up even the tiniest pinprick of light from the table. Problem with digital is determining how far away the ball is actually supposed to pick up that light. I think an artificial highlight could be a...

Yes, first go to 0%. There is almost no way to do the seizure like lights when there is only one source and the room your monitor is in is fully lit. Mike says they are still working on making it even more intense somehow. We've also suggested making the game even darker, but we'll see about...

Wonder how many season packs are about to be sold...

If you haven't tried it yet, you must witness strobe multiball and neon multiball. They are fantastic.

I'd just like to stop and make an appeal to those who have visited this and other TotW threads but have not yet tried out our TotM. In these threads, there are frequent posts about "how easy" a table might be, or "how exploitable". You might be thinking to yourself, "I don't find it that way at...

So seriously, ToM would be the best choice? I thought everyone complained about how long those games went.

So I had happen to me what always seems to happen to me with BoP. Cocky as hell with first ball, only it came off a sling weird and drained out the left. 2nd ball, was killing it. Metamorphed the chica lickety split, and then couldn't hit the heart ramp for the billion shot. Like, not even...

Because that was just the design look of it. Programming it to work was being done by someone else who wound up leaving the company. He was doing it as a side project, after his main work was done, in an effort to push it through. When he left, so did any momentum. We have been told that UI is...

Just to stoke the fires... There are some things FS is going to introduce to TPA that they have said in order to do they will need a new UI. Now whether or not that means the UI we want or just a few extra tabs inserted, I don't know. Just seems that even they are realizing the bottleneck they...

I never said 'you' had a problem :D (actually I don't think I ever used the word problem at all) Bride will not be the put up or shut up table. I'm debating between White Water and BK 2000 in terms of which will be less grindy for competitors of equal ranks.

Guys, I'm not going to institute special rules for one table. Now if you wanna knock yourself out with scoring 10 billion, go for it. You'll get 10 points just like all the other group leaders, even if they won without needing a billion point shot. That's the beauty of this tourney style. And...
