    New tables?

    I'm sure it's mostly to save the tens of thousands of dollars that it would cost them in submission fees to Sony for single table submissions.

    Is it true that next-gen grahpics are a PS4 exclusive?

    Or maybe someone is poking fun at that the resolution is less on the One than on the PS4 on some titles. "Its not that the One can't handle 1080p its just that Sony has an exclusive on 'next Gen graphics' for the PS4." :D

    Pinball locations in Chicago

    Timelord, I didn't think that you thought my situation was invalid. I was just explaining that I'm fairly close to the city but still have to spend a lot of time on the toll roads. The hub and spoke system for the Metra trains works for a lot of commuters but is a little dated. They need to...

    Pinball locations in Chicago

    I grew up just a couple of miles from where Six Flags is now. It was built by Marriott and was Marriott's Great America when it opened. When I got my drivers license my friend Dave and I got season passes. They cost $30! Any day that it rained in the afternoon we'd go there after the rain...

    Pinball locations in Chicago

    It really depends on where you're trying to go. If I didn't use toll roads my daily commute would be about 2.5 hours instead of 45 minutes. The great thing about toll roads is that you only pay for them when you use them. So if you can easily avoid them you never have to pay for them. On the...

    What have you been playing? (Besides pinball)

    I'm really enjoying MLB. Was drafted by the Mariners organization with the 6th pick in the 2nd round after college, spent a few months in double A, then a month in triple and then called up to the show in August. I'm now starting the new season as the starting center fielder of the Mariners.

    Season 1 disc: Second printing released

    They are only going to sell the disc to people that see a disc version as value added. How much do you suppose they make on the disc version vs digital? Alliant has to get their share, then the retailers, then Sony gets a cut and there's the cost of making the disc, the cover and the amaray. For...

    Season 1 disc: Second printing released

    The disc version has the same number of bugs as the digital version. The first patch fixed some issues. Future patches will fix more. If you want the pro tables all you have to do is buy the upgrade.

    How could I forget 55? Probably because I'm a NW boy and have only driven on it a few times. 290 I didn't include because it also only leads to toll roads but you can use it to get all the way out to Schaumburg without tolls so I should have mentioned it. I guess between 290 and 53 you can reach...

    Pinball locations in Chicago

    There are two ways to drive on highways into or out of the city without paying tolls. 94 South and 94 North. Technically those are 94 east and west but they changed the signs in the Chicago area to North and South in the 1980s so that it wasn't so confusing. All other routes will lead to our...

    If you're renting a car in the Chicago area and are going to be doing some trips out of the immediate city then get the ipass option so you don't have to stop to pay tolls. If your trip is limited to only the city then you probably don't need it.

    Ahhhh. That's confusing. :D But thanks for the clarification and information! I think my daughter and I will need to make some trips to the city soon. Are we talking about the same Logan Hardware? The one I'm talking about is a record store not a hardware store. http://logan-hardware.com

    I don't understand the question. That's why you'd want a cabinet. Then you have 40+ pinball machines in the space of a single machine.

    Wizard goals possible after St. Within same game

    Thanks! I was like Saint? No. Street? No. :D I got the gist of what we were talking about but I couldn't figure out what it meant. I'm an idiot at heart!

    I don't think that's a rule. Generally I've found that bartenders are friendly whether in the suburbs or the city.

    Has Logans Hardware expanded their pinball? The last time I was there they only had three machines but that was a couple of years ago. They were all in great shape and I keep meaning to go again but it's one of those things that keeps getting back-burnered by life. My daughter turns 21 this year...
