    Has TPA changed your preferred pinball era?

    My gut reaction is to say I still prefer alphanumerics. Williams System 11 is just where it is for me. That being said, the DMD machines tend to hold my interest longer, as they often tend to be just funny. Ultimately I had to ask myself what would I want to physically own, and alpha is where...

    Which Season 1 table would you most like to see given a tune-up?

    I kind of looked at this purely from a physics tuning viewpoint. To look at anything else makes Black Knight the clear choice. Anywho, I went with Theatre of Magic. It just feels off, whether from being too floaty, or how the ball comes off the flipper. The real machine can be brutal, especially...

    Top 3 Showdown: Farsight's Official Pre-1980 Poll

    Just watch...it'll finally drop on the 360 and then Microsoft will stop supporting 360 servers in favor of the Xbone.

    timeframe on dx11

    Engine guy just doesn't roll off the tongue. How 'bout James "The Mechanic" Manning? Oooohhh, much better! See? Now he's got a cool nickname. That's better than postcards and foam fingers, isn't it? And then we can say things to Mike like, "hey Mike, how's the engine coming along?" And he can...

    Table pack #36 speculation.

    And here I thought it was like a board game. Because SafeCracker was supposed to be Monopoly originally.

    There will be no EM this season

    Monopolies? It's not like pinball is a sports license that can handle two companies making games utilizing it. On top of that, say Zen did have the ability to do Bally/Williams/Gotlieb/Stern stuff. Do you really think both them and FS would release more than a handful of overlapping tables...

    Table pack #36 speculation.

    Actually it was the elephants of the outlines that did me in. What I get for trying to ride the Ferris wheel.

    Table pack #36 speculation.

    Cyclone just had its way with me at a league tourney last week. Felt so violated.

    Gorgar was considered much more 'unfriendly' than Xenon was back in the day.

    There will be no EM this season

    I personally am not a fan of EMs, and tend to play one game out of 'duty' when someone has one to play at our league nights. That being said, I do think it is truly jacked up to not be 100% forthright when setting up a poll. I did vote for Fireball both times, because I think it is the one EM...

    Roadshow? You think they'll follow up a Lawlor with another?

    Top 3 Showdown: Farsight's Official Pre-1980 Poll

    Nobody knows what the table would be rated, unless someone is part of the ratings board I don't know about. This is no more racy than Lara Croft ever was. Any info found in a PAD thread is pure speculation, as the only tables FS themselves have said would be an issue are Big Bang Bar, Family...

    For a second there after clicking the link, I thought I was looking at a new UI. Oh well.

    Zen did it in Paranormal. Gravity for sure ruins flow!

    Confirmed upcoming tables

    I used to work with a Mark Ellis at Panavision some 17 years ago. Hadn't heard that name in a while, made me smile. Even if you're not the same dude!

    Top 3 Showdown: Farsight's Official Pre-1980 Poll

    They didn't have the tables for the Gottlieb collection, they took a bazillion pics at the PHOF in Vegas. For the Williams collection, they did buy tables, though I don't know if it was all of them or not. Definitely they had the DMD machines. The very first time I visited FarSight, which was...

    The Rosetta Stone is to realize he consistently misses the same keys for adjacent keys. I'm not vouching for the content making sense, but at least you'll know what the words were supposed to be!
