    The William's Pinball Hall of Fame VS The Pinball Arcade Graphic Comparisons

    A picture taken a few feet away with a camera flash will certainly be brighter. However, pinball tables have historically been played in dim arcades and bars, accentuating the lighting effects of the playfield. In a static comparison, the brighter image may look more appealing because you're...

    My Gob Has been Truly Smacked

    I don't know where this "more than half" Snow Leopard figure is coming from, but Net Applications shows Lion with the majority of the Mac install base. Among Macs that can actually run Pinball Arcade, I'd expect the number to be even higher. Adoption rates on Apple platforms are typically...

    Bug Mac Version 1.0.2 Bugs

    The first shot has Level of Detail set to 1, the second set to 2. The bumper geometry suffers, but I still prefer it set to 2.

    Bug Mac Version 1.0.2 Bugs

    The Mac version appears to be using the iOS version's lighting still, but the Level of Detail option seems to offer more detailed textures (just look at Black Hole with it on). The Post Processing option gives mixed results, darkening tables like Bride of Pinbot while desaturating to an absurd...

    How many times have you purchased Pinball Arcade?

    Bought the DLC a third time for the Mac today. It's getting obsessive, but I had originally planned to have them only on iOS and OS X, and I couldn't resist checking out the PS3 version's lighting and gamepad controls. Yeah, that's the reason, yup.

    Bug Logging into Facebook Locks App

    I am now able to log in after installing the new update (I get asked to post high scores to Facebook). However, the button still says "Login" on the menu, which initially made me think the login was unsuccessful.

    General Illumination

    Never thought I'd see people complain that the console versions don't look like the iOS version rather than vice versa.

    My Gob Has been Truly Smacked

    There's always a contingent of users that gripes when you raise a system requirement. However, raising it in this case should have been expected, because only OS X Lion supports in-app purchases, and Pinball Arcade is focused on DLC.

    Bug Logging into Facebook Locks App

    When I try to log in, the screen goes black with the "Connecting with Facebook" alert, then it goes back to the menu which still shows a "Login" button. I don't believe I've ever successfully logged in to Facebook with the Mac version.

    Ipad 2 vs ipad 3

    The Retina support is great, but I'd be willing to trade it for improved visuals if necessary because the PS3 versions of the DLC tables look amazing.

    Best of the Bots?

    BoP may not have the best scoring system for use in a tournament, but in terms of being a fun pinball table in a social setting, landing a billionaire shot is pretty satisfying.

    PS3 DLC Impressions

    This happened to me yesterday on the iOS version. The ringmaster was raised, and the ball hit the back side of the hole and was quickly flung to the right.

    Thoughts on improving OS X integration

    It currently looks like the iOS version, which is understandable since it was probably simpler to port.

    Thoughts on improving OS X integration

    Presumably, platform-agnostic issues like the sizing of interface elements, the lack of a Quit button, and other console elements that don't quite fit well on the desktop will be addressed for both Mac and PC eventually. Additionally, there are a few Mac-specific features Farsight might consider...

    Anyone have any "guilty pleasures" tables you'd like to see?

    Future Spa. Pinball's take on exercise and relaxation in the future. I have to play it. And so do you.

    This will sound weird... are the physics different b/w portrait and landscape?

    I'm sure it's the change in perspective affecting your perception of the physics. Portrait mode lets you see more of the table vertically, so the ball looks like it's moving more quickly.

    I feel cheated, Free version doesn't get updated at the same time? Unbelievable!!!!

    I'm a member of the Apple developer program, and I'm pretty sure Apple would never give out that kind of personal user information. In fact, that would be a major privacy violation. Developers don't get access to anything beyond anonymous sales and download charts. The paid and free versions of...

    Favorite MM lines?

    His name is Duke of Bourbon. Now you know why he's a drunk. :)

    Why don't players like Gorgar?

    The most 70s pinball table I've seen is Future Spa. I desperately want to play it. What do you say, Farsight? Delay Twilight Zone so we can all enjoy some Future Spa...
