That's a hell of a list of things for 2014! Thanks for compiling. Concerning when these things actually happen...I always like to say "I don't actually have the job until I get my first paycheck". I apply the same logic to FarSight when it comes to seeing an announcement and actually getting to...

My wife sees zero reasons for why virtual pinball is any fun. She has played a few games of real pinball, but that's it.

PS3 Minecraft (or my boy has and then he sucks me into its vortex) GTA IV PC Pinball FX 2 (thanks 75% off flash sale!) iOS Candy Crush Saga (you are truly evil) Where's My Water?

I watched that without the sound on, which made her look more like she was doing the "Elaine dance" from Seinfeld!

It's a faulty argument though. If I'm playing Gran Turismo, am I supposed to be adding up the savings for not having to purchase all those cars? It too is a simulator of the real thing. I suppose I could play a flight sim and be thankful for all the money I'm saving on piloting lessons...

FarSight said last year that if a game had a family mode, that is what they'd put out.

Absolutely. I've lived with it as it currently is for this long, I can wait some more. Would love nothing more than to see the Mega Patch WITH new UI. To me it would be like when Zen came out with Zen 2. I'd already played the tables, but having them wrapped in a new package AND receive some new...

Yes, they have. FarSight has said though that it would be near impossible to put out on mobile platform, same as Stern machines of recent. I have no doubt that if they did push forward with BBB, we'd also see Kingpin and the other Capcom pins who's names escape me at the moment. This does make...

Same goes for Demolition Man without family mode on. Here's what I have been told...something as simple as the use of "bi***in" in Earthshaker moves the rating out of E10. The mere use of the word 'Playboy' on either the Bally or Stern table moves the rating, simply by what it implies which is...

Why do we always bring up Zen when talking TPA? Because they have a proven passion for making pinball just like FarSight. There aren't currently any other studios showing that same dedication and drive. Could you imagine the reaction if Activision suddenly took over FS? Resources to make an uber...

You're talking cab for PS3? Sorry, I'm voting 3D first and I don't even own a capable TV yet. If I was doing a cab, I'd be going PC. I think the people willing to lay their TV flat is a lot fewer than those with 3D.

As of last night, the 'all time' still isn't correct. I was 18th last time, I finished 13th this time, but it still was showing my overall as 18th.

Thankfully my 2nd grader son doesn't! That being said, he's played Scared Stiff many times and I know all the innuendo just goes right over his head.

I asked. It is a lot easier to say "this sucks" than it is to offer up actual solutions. FarSight has a finite amount of space to devote to the UI. They can either waste that space on 3D models of cabinets, or they can maximize what a user can do within the UI. I'm generalizing, but you get the...

Well Zen Pinball is 720p only, and it looks phenomenal in 3D. I'm talking PS3 here, not PS4.

Ya gotta figure that an E 10 is essentially a G to light PG rating. So while most of these things wouldn't shock a typical adult, those same adults might be the very ones shielding their child's eyes and ears from anything remotely suggestive.

Read 2 posts above yours. It takes a short time for the current tourney results to get posted. While waiting, the old results go up. All will be right in a day or two.

I'm not saying it shouldn't work that way, but would you want to risk it knowing how FarSight can be? Owners of the disc have said there is no way to purchase the PRO mode, and you'd think that would be an option right off the top.

I don't really understand the makeup of ratings for vid games, what exactly moves things from E to Teen. I had a conversation with Norman at FS where I argued that things said in Medieval Madness were every bit as suggestive as things said in Scared Stiff, and he agreed that MM might have...

Buy digital. The physical copy I suspect was something done entirely for the sake of Sony wanting actual games on store shelves. FarSight's focus has been entirely on digital distribution of this game, and I suspect the disc won't keep up with updates. On top of that, once season 2 hits, you...
