    What a challenge!

    Well my high score went from 9 bil to almost 17 bil with the new strategy. It is not quite as fun as going for modes for me, but it is not as bad as I thought. There was a lot of sloppy play in that game too, will have to slow it down and go for a higher score tonight

    The Shadow

    I have been looking around very hard for this as the first pin in my collection, sadly no luck so far. Seems likes a perfect table in terms of depth, flow, difficulty, and replay value

    What a challenge!

    Hmm, I have been going after artifacts and TFF. I will have to see how my score compares just going after borg multiball, but that strategy doesn't sound nearly as fun. On another note, it is so hard for me not to tilt on this table as it gives me my favorite pinball quote of all time. It...

    What a challenge!

    So I hear about people just waiting and letting modes time out. As far as I have seen, all the point are in TFF with many artifacts. So how do you get artifacts if you are just letting modes time out? Or do you just time out the ones that give you most trouble and complete the easier ones?

    Thinking about getting my first pin

    Well the seller also had his pin listed on ebay and it got snagged with only 10 seconds to go. Luckily I found another seller in Phoenix that I am trying to get in touch with. Hopefully road trip next weekend

    Thinking about getting my first pin

    I had my eye on that Judge Dredd too. The guy selling the shadow is also on pinside, has a good collection, has shipped before, and has references that he has shipped to. I am thinking I might go with that. Gonna call and ask a few questions and sleep on it for another night, but I am...

    Thinking about getting my first pin

    I am making the journey to Pins and Needles tomorrow to go and meet Molly. Do you guys have any opinions on buying online and having a pin shipped? Seems kind of scary to buy such an expensive item without being able to examine it in person. This looked like a good deal, but it is all the way...

    Thinking about getting my first pin

    I'll have to send him a PM and see how he is liking it. I was watching some videos of the shadow yesterday and I think that is the one I'm going after. Looks like there are a good variety of shots, variety of strategies, difficult to complete wizard mode, good flow, and well within my price...

    Thinking about getting my first pin

    I have very limited experience with Demo man and it was a pretty fun table. I did see some Judge Dredds for reasonable prices but I have not played that or Johnne Mneumonic. I am hoping to make a weekend trip out to vegas within the next couple of weeks to play all these games I have not seen...

    Thinking about getting my first pin

    I need to get out to pins and needles, I think will make it happen this sunday. I am actually going to be moving pretty close to there in a few months so I am excited about that. I guess I shouldn't let maintenance scare me away. If it ever gets really bad I can always just hire someone as a...

    Thinking about getting my first pin

    I have been a long time pinball fanatic, but it is just so hard to find tables in good, working order and I am thinking about investing in a table for home. One thing that sort of scares me is the maintenance. I don't mind putting in time and feel confident that I could fix stuff like lights...

    Pinball FX 2/Zen plans to come over to Steam

    Uh really? I thought steam wasn't into pinball.... Who did you piss off at steam farsight? If PFX2 makes it to steam before TPA that would be pretty messed up

    Why am I not enjoying Twilight Zone table??

    How is it that you do that? Do you have a massive TV or do you sit really close? I can't seem to read anything on that wheel and my vision is fine

    PS3 Version 2.07 (NA) Feedback And Discussion

    Uh yeah, I would be totally up for going to big bear and testing TPA all day. Count me in

    (PS3) Liking the table a lot but....

    In real life, the outlanes on this table are brutal, at least on all the ones I have played. Any shot to the crate is very dangerous because of the random way it bounces back. In TPA, the ball will head toward the outlanes, but almost never actually drain. Also, failed ramp shots are so far...

    I'm Gravely seriously "Digging" this table

    My all time high score is about 34 million in real life. My first game in TPA was about 300 million. So yeah, too easy

    A License to Sin

    That sounds very ambitious, good luck with your project! I hope it turns out well, sadly I will be unable to play it on my Mac :(

    A Time for Gluttony...

    How greed, gluttony, and lust relate to pinball I can't quite figure out, but you have me intrigued...

    What a challenge!

    I can't wait to play it, sounds great. I haven't played much in real life, but my high score is ~ 2billion, so if you are stuck at around 4 I would say the difficulty sounds about right. I want to upgrade my mac from 10.6 OS so I can play TZ and STTNG, but I am scared to after reading a lot...
