That was Demolition Man

I still am a fan of Conan. There's something so effortless about it, like it had always existed. Conan the Destroyer tried to push the humor and make the violence bloodless, which was off putting. It's funny though you mention Conan, as it spawned an entire wave of muscle and loin cloth movies...

PURE TESTOSTERONE I really don’t know what else to call this next batch of movies. These are the antithesis of ‘chick flicks’. I used to just call ‘em action movies, but that doesn’t quite fit the bill for some of these. Instead it’s just men being manly, talking tough, and blowing **** up...

I like the 'roided out mutant dude too. With the dial in his head. Just fantastic prosthetic makeup. And yeah, the ABC robot was great too. Everything else was piss poor. I thought Dredd was way better than it had any right to be. I would have liked it even more if I hadn't already seen the...

I enjoy the 'look' of a dark table, just because it highlights the light show. That being said, I always appreciated the fully lit look in iOS just because it showed off the artwork. This is why the option for different lighting is so key. What I didn't like about the original look of TOTAN was...

I absolutely loved The Hidden when I saw it in the theaters. If I'm not mistaken, I was it as a double feature with Robocop! (Or was it Critters?) Talk about a night of movie going. I watched it again maybe 10 years ago, and no it did not hold up. I don't know if it was because I now identify...

I know FarSight has talked to Stern about this, and both parties want it to happen. Whenever I asked if Stern could write TPA into the licensing contract, it was always met with a glimmer in the eye. And then the eye gets poked with not being able to emulate the software currently. Booooooo.

Like it or not, this series of threads continues! OF FICTION AND SCIENCE I was 5 when Star Wars hit theaters. I fell asleep during it around the same time Alderaan exploded. I didn’t actually get to watch the whole movie until I was 7 or 8, but you wouldn’t have known it by what I knew of it...

I know how you feel Espy. Gotta love it when despite all the copious notes they apparently take don't get read by the next person. I have an HP inkjet printer. Rather than paying for the expensive new ink, I took my empties to Costco for refill. Unfortunately, the printer refused to print...

Orbals. It's a new app. It is not pinball.

Frozen lemonade is indeed yummy. And wouldn't ya know it, but 7-11 has lemonade Slurpees right now! I know, not the same thing. Back in my youth, I worked at a water park in food service. Now and then I'd have to work the picnics, and we'd serve up frozen lemonade. We'd just dump this giant bag...

First things first...you may notice we are no longer calling the podcast the "Barcade", but instead it is now the "BlahCade". Listen to the podcast to find out why! We introduce a new segment, Back In Time With the Timelord, where our Chicago dweller tells us a little story about why pinball is...

Let's move on, shall we? MOVIES YOU HAVE TO READ Oh no, not those! Who wants to read subtitles of mopey Europeans? I sure as hell never did. I was and am an action junky. The few foreign language films I actually had been exposed to as a kid, I couldn’t keep up the with subs, which means I...

Espy, your story is the very reason I hate buying things online when I am looking for a very specific variant. Unfortunately, it is often the only place you can find it! And of course, in your case it had to be for what was going to be a gift. So frustrating. On top of that, you were in the...

They need a basic $5 tier that gets you the table, like a pre-order. Like any other normal kickstarter.

Are there Vegas odds on how many days to fund? Should be interesting.

They had T2 in the office months before the kickstarter happened. They turned that thing around in 4 weeks. If it is indeed TAF, would not surprise me in the least if they already started modeling Thing and the electric chair, as those are the only complicated items on the table. Also, if it is...

In our just recorded and soon to be posted podcast #9, we discuss a few of the smaller things we'd like to see changed that could maybe be snuck in. For myself, it's changing out that stupid guitar music as the game starts up. It's seriously driving me crazy these days.

I hope that made you guys laugh. It makes me laugh reading it back now. Almost reminds me of what some have gone through here trying to get things worked out with Sony Europe and TPA, or the letters written to Apple about the season pass fiasco. Feel free to share any epic tales of woe here. I...

So Earthlink found my blogs. Check out the comment from them on part 3 of my rant against them. Makes me think of that movie 'Summer School', where the horror movie idiot writes the letter to the sunglasses maker and gets a box of samples sent to him. No, Earthlink did not send me a box of...
