Here's the deal with Disney...they want a big chunk of each sale because they believe that their name is moving the product. Lucasfilm felt the same way with Star Wars. There were companies willing to lose money by having Star Wars branding because it would raise the value of their name on other...

Well if you were looking for surprise, Indy would do it!

Right before Raul died, there was a commercial where they digitally inserted Gene Kelley dancing with a vacuum. There was also a commercial with John Wayne drinking Pepsi. There was a general disgust among the talent community at the ability to now have a long dead performer be used to hawk...

So what would you say would get the momentum back? There certainly was a fever pitch high for TZ and ST:TNG, and I almost feel like people's expectations were impossible to match, so there's this sudden lull from crashing down to reality. I'm excited for what's coming. Cactus Canyon, Centaur...

Oh yeah, any of the non licensed tables from Williams and Bally are realistic. There is a set number of tables that FS can do though, and then they have to talk with WMS again. This is why they paid the big bucks to get Cactus Canyon, to make it sooner rather than later. That vote about the...

Now that FS would have to deal with Disney? Nope.

Here's what I thought was realistic from that list... The Addams Family Champion Pub Big Bang Bar Terminator 2 The Getaway: High Speed 2 The Pinball Circus White Water Party Zone F14 Cactus Canyon Whirlwind Earthshaker Roller Games Judge Dredd Cyclone Junkyard Safe Cracker Jack:Bot Fathom Xenon...

I mean that the Duo Controller is designed for use with HD Pinball, because there is code in the game itself that makes the controller functional. Jailbreaking an iPad is not going to put the proper code into TPA to make it work with that. I specifically brought this controller up with the guys...

Chalk me up as one who likes his analogue sticks symmetrical. Pretty interesting putting the Move sensor in the controller. Didn't expect that.

Wow. You just held the mic and let it drop with that one, didn't cha?! I'm gonna grab some popcorn and see how this plays out. :D

I don't see Zen as being cookie cutter. And I find Sorcerer's Lair to be as close as they've come to a traditional modern pinball layout with mostly traditional rules. Wolverine is a close second to that. I spent a ton of time on Iron Man pre TPA coming out, and personally loved the elements on...

Seriously? You actually think FS is sitting up there in the mountains going, "I don't know about this TAF table. I mean sure, it sold the most of ANY table to date, but would it really be a good fit with our game?" They absolutely want this table, as it is probably the number 1 most requested...

Yes, but that's where talk of Sony maybe using that cloud service they just bought, having the emulation be on their servers, not in your machine. Kind of like how you can play these very complicated games in your web browser. It isn't your browser that is doing all the heavy lifting!

Some thoughts while I was reading all this... I don't know about Xbox, but Sony has put in a crazy amount of effort to have a huge digital selection of games on PSN. The way the Vita is set up, they're practically begging you to buy all digital. I do not expect the physical console to have...

Okay, so after much gnashing of teeth and almost pulling the trigger on the Samsung t24B350 at Costco for $200, my buddy who gave me the new rig pointed me over to newegg. Turns out the Samsung had no DVI input, just VGA or HDMI. So I wound up ordering an Asus VH238H which is a 23" monitor with...

So a friend of mine just built himself a very slick and powerful new computer, and feeling really sorry for me and my ancient beast of a PC, gave me his 'old' computer which is miles faster than mine ever hoped to be. The upside, I can now play pretty much any PC game that is out now and run...

Actually carpooling is exactly what I had in mind! I also have access to a cabin in Arrowhead any time I want, so it'd even be possible to stay the night and drive back the next day rather than do some insane 18 hour day.

They're up in Big Bear. I'm no super expert either, but some of these bugs that plague the PS3 are quite obvious with the most basic play.

It's the only table I ever remember walking away from because I had so many extra balls and was just plain bored. That was back in the 90's too, when my pinball IQ was fairly low. When I played it in PHoF I had that same experience all over again.

Well I admit it, despite my earlier claim to never restarting, I do it now on certain tables. Look, a game of RBION for me now averages to at least an hour of play. If I lose that first ball immediately, sure I could 'practice' with the rest, but that is one loooong session! Same thing goes for...
