    What have you been playing? (Besides pinball)

    Let's see... On PC I'm currently playing the utter time suck that is Civilization V. I really don't understand how I sit down and suddenly 3 hours have passed! On PS3 I was playing The Last of Us, but I really wasn't having a good time with it. I think I just wanted another Uncharted. I also...

    The "what does machine build quality mean to you?" thread

    Ask anyone who has an Avengers table about build quality, and you'll hear stories of the Tessuract (sp?) cube breaking. Or balls getting stuck behind Hulk. Find a Simpsons machine in the wild, tell me if the Itchy and Scratchy drop targets are functioning. There are all sorts of issues Stern has...

    The PS3 "super patch"

    The over riding point is, FS is not holding back the release of the EU version. Sony NA and Sony EU don't coordinate their schedules, both received the submission from FS at the same time. It is out of FarSight's hands after that. As Brakel pointed out, PS3 isn't in sync with the mobile or PC...

    The "what does machine build quality mean to you?" thread

    I don't think nostalgia has anything to do with it, as I had these opinions in the heyday of the early 90's. Data East tables were always second to Williams and Bally. Gottlieb Premier themes always felt like the Chinese knockoff version of a Williams table. Sega tables you just hoped were...

    The "what does machine build quality mean to you?" thread

    The Stern machines I'm talking about that are 'cheap looking' are from their rebirth, not what they are currently putting out. From a distance, they look fine. Look closely, and you'll see a lack of polish in how they put the things together. Wire runs that are fully exposed, cheap looking...

    What are your most-wanted tables?

    Yes, but for different reasons. FarSight now has to deal with Disney for IJ and SW instead of LucasFilm. Disney is notorious for how much of the residuals from sales they get. You need to be able to guarantee them a high volume of sales, and TPA would have a very hard time coming up with the...

    The "what does machine build quality mean to you?" thread

    Austin Powers is bad mouthed by me for these few reasons I can remember...because I haven't touched it since it came out! For starters, it was an incredibly cheap looking table. The 'toys' were nothing more than action figures stuck on the table, or so they appeared. The colors on the playfield...

    What are your most-wanted tables?

    Years ago, they made sports titles for Sega and such.

    Zen Studios 1/2 price table sale this week on XBox360.

    Especially since they'll do a flash sale during the sale, knocking the price down to 75% off.

    BlahCade Podcast #6 - James Bondage (or, Pinball Fools!)

    First of all, thanks for listening! Maybe we should call out each other's names more during the pod? While Timelord meant antiseptic socially, I meant it in the literal sense. In my day, arcades were lit ONLY by the machines. Walking by one at the mall was like looking into a black pit. Early...

    What are your most-wanted tables?

    Sure, stop making money on tables so they can please the 20 people that want cab support. KIDDING! Sheesh. It'll come, it'll come.

    Pinball League in SoCal

    Yes, because I'm gonna read through and remember all that minutes before I touch the machine for only the 3rd time ever! Hehe. Hell, I know the rules intimately for TotAN, and a lot of good that did me.

    Pinball League in SoCal

    Sooooo, it's been a while! Excuse me while I dust off the cobwebs. My first season of playing in a league is over, and the new season just started. I finished 28th out of 74 players, though realistically, only 50 were active enough to be competitive. I also missed 3 sessions completely, while a...

    What are your most-wanted tables?

    Yeah, Orbitor 1 would make Goin' Nuts seem like a cherished game. NBA Fastbreak won't happen. Not only do you have to deal with the NBA, but the Players Association and licensing an old roster. FS has said dealing with NFL on a current roster was tough, and they'd rather not go through that...

    The Random Thought Thread

    Let's go Lakers! Wait. When do they draw the ping pong balls for the draft? Never had to care before! For that matter, basketball being done for us in April is truly a rare experience.

    Pinball After Dark

    Yes, those were my photos. At the last league night a couple of the guys were wearing shirts that said "Zingy Bingy: Saw it. Played it. Got the shirt."

    Future Season 3 Poll

    It's funny because when I look at Hurricane, I would immediately pick it over Cyclone. When I play it back to back though, I have more fun with Cyclone. Now part of this May be the fault of the VP recreation of Hurricane. It's been way too long for me since I played the real thing to know for...

    The PS3 "super patch"

    YES!! Please, someone from EU that has the capability of capturing screen shots, do so. It would be fantastic to be able to put up side by sides of old vs. new so we can easily see what has changed graphically.

    The Pinball Arcade Is On Its Way To The Windows 8 Marketplace!!!

    People call it the Steam version because that is exactly what it is. It is the version available on Steam. People also understand if referring to it as the PC version, it is the same thing. It would be playable on Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8 depending on what hardware you have installed. The...
