    Flipper lag theory

    Wait! I'm not done with you yet, Monkey. No, I haven't taken a baseball bat to Firepower yet, but it is in pieces right now as I try to restore it. It worked fine, but there were issues that weren't letting it play 100%. First pin I've owned, and within a month I couldn't take it and tore it...

    Flipper lag theory

    Monkey... First off, since you do calibrations and custom installs, I'm not even going to question your knowledge of hooking up properly. I think if people paid to have their TVs calibrated they'd be shocked at the difference. Second, I own a Firepower machine and play in a league every month...

    What we have become

    I just peeked at my last 25 posts...positive in terms of FS, one or two snarky posts aimed squarely at negative people. I'll throw this out here too...if you want to have a nice fun experience with forum people, check out the chat room now and then. It will restore your faith in this forum's...

    PS3 Tournament 9/17/13 - 9/24/13

    I'm one place out from making gold. My ToM score is sorry, as is my Champ Pub. If I could just get those out of the basement, plus improve my Pin*Bot score by 1 million, I think I'll have it. I can already tell it's gonna come down to the wire for me.

    Nice one Karl. This is the FAN forum, and we need to be reminded of that from time to time.

    Flipper lag theory

    Monkey, I get your ire. I'd be right pissed if I couldn't play these tables in a proper manner. That said, for a lot of us, their simply is no problem. I play on a much older rear projection HD TV and don't experience lag. Trade off for me is that there is no HDMI into my TV, so I'm playing in...

    PS3 Tournament 9/17/13 - 9/24/13

    Well in Silver level there's going to be a LOT less than the previous tourney. Isn't silver the top 10% from the last tourney? Currently there's just over 150 players. That's the beauty of splitting it up...you really can start to focus on who your competition is! Yeah, until tonight, I hadn't...

    PS3 Tournament 9/17/13 - 9/24/13

    The league I'm in, where it's a tournament every month with completely different tables than the previous month, we only get one shot. You can practice all you want beforehand, but once the tourney starts, it's first and only score posted. What I like about that is it gives average players like...

    will TPA work with iOS7?

    Of course I don't think you'll buy a new iPad. My point is, Apple is going to convince you to do so, because you upgraded iOS on a device that is not going to be happy running it. You are inevitably going to run into a host of apps that don't run as well, and yes some will have newly written...

    will TPA work with iOS7?

    Man, you can't say Apple doesn't know what they're doing. They know they've got instant sales from those people that buy anything new Apple puts out. So how do you convince people who are just fine with their older device and how it works to buy new? You change the iOS so that older devices no...

    Gta v

    I agree with Vice City. Perfect size city, loved the humor references, the radio stations were awesome (as I love me some 80's music), and I enjoyed being the main character. Sadly, I have Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories and never cracked 'em open. I bought 'em for the PS2, but that...

    PS3 Tournament 9/17/13 - 9/24/13

    No kidding! I've barely played Dr. D, so I don't know diddly about scoring on it. CV and ToM I understand, I just don't play 'em often since I'm not a fan of them. WW I just need to give some time, I think I can post something nice on it. Same goes for Centaur. PinBot and Space Shuttle I need to...

    Well, that finally motivated me to download the last few packs!

    Gta v

    I'm quite used to getting my gaming done in the evening once my boy has gone to sleep, but for a game that's gonna take 40+ hours JUST for the main missions, pure torture! I even had to stop playing RPGs just because I couldn't commit that much time to them. When I hear a game is a 10-14 hour...

    Gta v

    I so would love to spend countless hours with GTA V, but I just can't. If I buy that game, nothing will get done and I've got too many other things that actually need my attention. I keep having to lie to myself, saying that I probably wouldn't enjoy it for whatever reason. If I can just survive...

    How much would an Addams Family pinball kickstarter be?

    So I'm guessing we can just close this thread now, as you had zero interest in actually listening to people answer your question. You put it out there that you've never played the machine, therefore you have no leg to stand on in regards to the quality of the machine. You ask for an answer and...

    How much would an Addams Family pinball kickstarter be?

    Allow me to give my answer then. There are 7 actors on the back glass and in the marketing for TAF. In T2, there are only 2 on the table, and only Ah-nold in the marketing flyers. It could be argued, since there was no mention of Robert Patrick getting paid, that certain images of actors on the...

    And then there were 3! (...4...5...6...7!)

    I wouldn't pass up a RBION either! Okay, you may have an addiction (and certainly not one I'd ever send someone to rehab for!), but there's an easy way to justify it AND seek out more... I play in a pinball league each month, and it's held at a different person's house each time. To have the...

    PAF Top Ten Most Wanted Table Poll Series : #1 - Electro-Mechanical (Closed)

    The good thing about PHOF, there's a dozen more tables you wanna play! Last time I was there, I played a bunch of tables I hadn't touched previously, and left feeling good about that. Then I realized all the tables that I had passed because in my head I had said, "oh, but I wanna play this other...
