Wow, that one was way better than the one I posted! Way cool. Wonder if anyone has used the MindStorm kits to do actual electronic things.

Okay, I NEED the instructions to build this! http://club.lego.com/en-us/videos/# The flippers are genius. Too bad he couldn't figure out how to make the pop bumpers actually work. Still impressed though.

Having injuries that you did nothing to warrant is like getting busted over something you didn't even do. You're like, "damn, I'm paying the price, I should have at least gotten to have fun earning it!" Hope you get better soon.

If there had been a 'like' button, I would have just pushed it!

Since Canadian365 is still checking on this thread that he started and has gone through the trouble of starting a master list, he can edit his original post now and then and put the list in that first post. As a courtesy to him though, people should do what he's asking also, which is copy and...

okay, thanks for clearing that up for me Sean. As I don't have a mic, guess I won't be participating.

Nothing beats the real thing. I get what the OP is saying, the convenience of TPA and the consistency of quality versus the scarcity of real tables and then them not being properly maintained. Yes, rather than drive for miles only to be disappointed and feel like you wasted quarters on a bum...

On a real table, I tend to look at where I want the ball to go and just time it. In TPA and Zen, I do a lot of looking at the flipper when first learning a shot. That's mainly because of how consistent the virtual pinballs are. Once I start getting the shot down, muscle memory kicks in and it...

Excuse my ignorance as I have no idea what team speak is, but if it's just another chat room, don't we kinda already have one of those? Ya know, the one that we've been using for a year now and has a button right up at the top of the page? If this is something different, please enlighten me.

Can I just restate the etiquette of these things before the list gets too long... You should be responsible for adding the names that come before yours. I know this has only just gotten going, but I know how the PSN list has gotten and it's how things have worked out well over there. Look...

Works fine for me.

We'll see it even sooner actually, if Stern does indeed put out Whoa Nellie: Big Juicy Melons. Double whammy too with that, as it's essentially an EM in terms of play.

I am a sucker for ramps. Before I know any rules of a table, ramps are the shot I'm trying for first. After that, it's hard to resist a drop target. Once I actually learn a table's rules, I'm all about modes, which often is detrimental to my scores. And God help me if I figure out how to trigger...

Fingers and toes crossed, believe me. Hell, I'd be happy if we could get an expo around here.

shutyertrap same on origin, same on PSN

Really? Because SoCal has only 1 official arcade that I know of, Pins & Needles. There's supposed to be a reopening of this one place that gives a tour of the history of pinball and lets you play, but isn't as of yet. And then there's the failed kickstarter for the Museum of Pinball, which is...

Yes, but that changed partly because we all threw a little snit fit over it. As I've posted elsewhere, I think FarSight is 95% there. We just need to encourage them to go that final 5%, and not let them think, "ah, it's good enough". That means no harsh blooms, no inserts blowing out into a...

No, no, no, and no! There are plenty of pics to be found on the web of these actual tables in darkened situations and the machine does a fine job of lighting the entire thing itself! Now, I don't particularly like playing in a completely darkened environment, so I think having a light source...

Okay, I just did a quick check. Home Theater . com has 2 TVs that they recommend as top pics that fit your price. They are very selective about their top picks, so you know it's gonna be a good picture. First, the Samsung UN40EH5300 which is a 40" and has USB input, sells for $449 at Best Buy...

Okay, with regards to viewing distance... With 1080p HD, the distance has shrunk significantly. 40" with a 6' distance is well within that spec. It's a flat panel, so much thinner than your CRT, remember that too. If you buy a blu-ray player, a receiver, or even go with a Roku, you'll have the...
