    My impressions as a TZ machine owner

    this is exactly right. TZ in TPA can be reduced to a very small number of extremely low-risk shots, primarily due to the predictability of the slot machine kickout. they have! some machines DO have a semi-randomized kickout (CFTBL recently got it, as did a few others). but even then, it...

    Tournament winners?

    yep, it happens. it's pretty much the main thing I look out for when LITZ starts to end -- my top priority is making sure no ball is stuck under there.

    Thoughts about Mousin' Around & Jack*Bot

    Good luck! Personally, Mousin' Around is one of my absolute favorite tables. I mean it's no STTNG, but it's a great bargain. wonderful flow on that machine.

    Tournament winners?

    I finished in 9th place on the iOS tournament. :D (mannnn I cannot wait for "tournament setups" on games. will cut down IMMENSELY on game length!!!)

    Request: Translucent DMD's and score displays

    I had a 60" Samsung DLP for a long time as well. fantastic image quality -- best looking picture of any tv i've owned. in terms of input lag, it was pretty good. better than any LCD that didn't have a specific "gaming" setting. unfortunately, it blew up after about 7 or 8 years. there was a...

    CFTBL: Tactics and Strategies

    it's red river rock that you hear first. i also remember Farsight mentioning that they couldn't get the rights to all of the songs so some are missing.

    CFTBL: Tactics and Strategies

    well, I haven't played it in a while, so I can't 100% confirm it still works like this, but I tested it a lot and if you hit the snackbar during that guitar riff part of the first song the FIRST time it occurs (about a minute or two into the game) you would get an extra ball or special every...

    What's the worst tpa packet, you can imagine?

    well, I wonder how many A-list DMD games there are left that don't have a bunch of licensing issues....

    What's the worst tpa packet, you can imagine?

    1. Rolling Stones I don't hate the band, but this machine has a lame playfield, lame ruleset, lame flow, lame everything. plus a stupid plastic mick jagger cutout jerking around the middle of the playfield looking dumb and being annoying.

    2. Orbiter 1 A "unique" machine whose weird mechanics never caught on for GOOD REASON.

    What's the worst tpa packet, you can imagine?

    Which pins would you HATE to see in TPA?! There are more threads than I can count polling opinions or making suggestions on games FarSight should go after. How about a thread begging them to STAY AWAY from certain titles? ;) Here's my top 3 worst candidates for TPA: (PS - i had to break it...

    (Minor Nitpick) The font keeps changing!

    it's not that big of a deal ... I can get where i'm going pretty fast nowadays in TPA, and that's the important thing. but sure, I agree the UI could be a lot more refined from an aesthetic standpoint. it functions a little better than it looks, though. i'd give its looks a C-, and its...

    (Minor Nitpick) The font keeps changing!

    no they're not. the letters are actually shaped differently. look at the shape of the C in Champion Pub compared to Central Park. or look at the lowercase t in "Voltaire" compared to Centaur.

    Motion capture video of pinball

    I agree with some other posters: motion capture is not applicable to creating a realistic physics simulation. it's just playback data of some physics that happened. it's in no way predictive. you'd have to pre-capture every possible eventuality that could ever happen on a pinball table...

    180 sec standard goal - most difficult SG ever?

    one last general suggestion: i stay focused on the lower flipper area all the time to avoid drains, but i flip the right 3 flippers liberally and semi-randomly to pick up the blue / amber / grey targets.

    180 sec standard goal - most difficult SG ever?

    it's not as bad as harem multiball. not even close. ive only played the table a couple times, but ive been up to 160 seconds. - dont get distracted by balls in the upper playfield area. those amber targets are gonna be the last set you complete, but its not worth losing balls over. - gotta...
