What amazes me is that it was apparently popular enough to warrant a sequel of sorts.
This sits next to a Dr. Dude table in the Pacific Pinball Museum in Alameda, California. I played a game. It also sucked.
Dude by a country mile.
Being a one-shot table is hardly a plus, but not fatal. Bride of Pinbot for example makes up for it with style and cool progression through the various stages. Dude has all the style of a bootleg Bart Simpson t-shirt, and its five seconds of multiball are anticlimactic...
In non-Dude-bashing news, it's a shame the camera issues I'd been reading about scared me off Cirqus Voltaire, man is this table fun. Think ill spend some more time with it after the tourney. I'd consider buying one actually if I can mod it to get the cannon shoot out behind the backglass.
Eh one and done would essentially turn a table like Pin-Bot into a slot machine given its problem with house balls and BS drains. Dude too to an extent, although at least there you can soft plunge.
I like how it's set up for the most part, perhaps making it a best of six tables so you can sit...
Curse you Bagginses, we hates it forever
One thing I like about the tourneys is the normalized 0-100 scale gives a more consistent view of how I'm doing compared to the rest of the players. I mean on the general leader boards I'm #2684 on say Gorgar but without knowing how many others have...
Yeah there's tables that are hard but entertaining (Firepower, F2k to an extent) and then there's just absurd, with this one crossing the line for me. Drains seems so random it feels like trench warfare circa 1915.
I'll come back to it at some point but so far we have bonding issues.
To each their own I guess. I'll make a real attempt to save if I'm deep in the game, but if I'm pretty fresh off a plunge I's not too much harm to watch to see if it bounces off cuz it's just sonsatisfying when it does.
It's a godsend in saving skull shots tho. Speaking of which, are fast skull...
Copying from my post elsewhere:
The center post is both too useful and not useful enough. I'm falling into a bad habit of watching STDM balls go down just to see if the post will stop them. It only does about one time in three but I can't help just watching it drop.
Doesn't look like there's a...
