    Android League Play award not given again

    Did anyone get their reward for Android League Play Season 2? It just finished and nothing so far. I'm not going to put a single ticket into Season 3 until this is resolved. Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk

    Beta Testing with the demise of Google+

    FlippyFloppy Since Google suddenly decided to pull the plug on Google+ yesterday (https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-45792349 et al), we need a new platform for the beta testing group. Any ideas? I'd suggest Facebook but I'm thinking not everyone would be on board with that. Or we could get...

    FX3 Williams Thoughts

    I just realized what has been nagging me about the FX3 Williams thing. It's essentially a reboot, but it feels like it's being done too soon, while the fun and joy of the "originals" are still fresh in our memories. It's the "Amazing Spider-Man" of digital pinball. Spider-Man (2002) and...

    Forum address change

    Gord Lacey I noticed this morning that the forum has switched from digitalpinballfans.com to digitalpinballfans.com. There is a redirect but this is only working from the top level URL, and not from any other URLs. I.e. http://www.digitalpinballfans.com redirects, but...

    Starting from scratch

    It looks very much like something (I'm guessing Steam or Windows) borked my TPA installation, because it crashed as soon as I tried to start Banzai Run and try as I might I couldn't get Steam to properly validate the game files after that. Given nobody else has experienced this, I'm assuming...

    Table Pack #72 Speculation Thread

    Table Pack #72 will be the first table in Season 8 - so what's it going to be? Farsight have hinted that (a) there will be a Season 8, and (b) they will again be taking a month off between seasons to concentrate on bug fixes and other stuff. So we've got plenty of time to speculate away...

    Pinball Road Trip Kickstarter

    There's a Kickstarter campaign currently under way to fund publication of a "Pinball Road Trip" book, documenting a California road trip made by Dutch magazine editor Jonathan Joosten, the man behind Pinball Magazine, and Argentinean photographer Santiago Ciuffo, who took the photographs in the...

    Ghostbusters High CPU Usage

    tl;dr This is my own personal theory why Ghostbusters consumes a ton of CPU, and a possible, simple, solution. It's pure speculation and if it turns out to be wrong, so be it; this thread will go to the graveyard with "IT WAS WRONG" on the tombstone. We've had Ghostbusters for a week, and while...

    Ghostbusters Tips & Strategy

    Ghostbusters is the deepest, most complex, table in TPA. Maybe not as complex as AC/DC. Even if you slog through the 538(!) pages of rules in-game, you're still likely to remain a bit confused. Let's start the conversation! Begin At The Beginning The skillshot is your friend, and if you do...

    Pinball at Hersheypark

    A visit to Hersheypark, and instead of playing Comet (they had one, not switched on, hidden in a corner with a couple of others... Including a Hercules!), I rode on the Comet instead! A real old school wooden rattler, great fun. Did play Monopoly and left a replay after my one game, so okay on...

    TZ Post Tuning Difficulty

    Is it just me, or is TZ now almost too difficult since it received its tuning pass? I mean, I get it, it was very easy and got boring fast before. It isn't know, it's a deadly trap and that left outlane is voracious. But... failing at ~90% of clean shots on the left ramp from the left...

    Fantasy Poll: Buy A Pinball Table!

    You can buy one real pinball table. It has to be a brand new table that is being manufactured today* Where there are multiple versions of a table (Pro, Premium, LE, etc.) it's assumed you can purchase whichever version you want. What are you gonna get? Remakes (Medieval Madness) and...

    Table Pack #64 Speculation

    #63 is going to be Wipeout, we're pretty sure about that. On to #64! What's it going to be? Ever the eternal optimist, I'm still going to bank on The Shadow until it's The Shadow. Then, I'll start going for Corvette.

    Game Video Thread

    Here's a thread for you to post your TPA game videos. Whether it's to brag, show something crazy, prove a point, point out a bug, ask for help... anything goes, really, as long as it's a video recording of you playing TPA. Disclaimer: it's as much a placeholder for me because now my tablet has...

    Crash :(

    Oh, I was only on about 150B on Ball 2 during a stacked Total Annihilation+Martian Multiball with Victory Laps active and a heldover bonus multiplier approaching 200x. And the game f&$*@(g went and crashed on me.

    Unofficial Official Poll: Paragon vs. Embryon

    In case you missed it, Farsight posted an official poll on Facebook for fans to choose between Paragon or Embryon to kick off Season 7! You may remember Paragon from such polls as the pre-1980 poll that was somehow won by Xenon, which counted only on a technicality. You probably don't remember...

    Favorite Premier/Gottlieb in TPA Post Season 6 Redux

    Since we've just gone through a Premier/Gottlieb-heavy Season 6, this poll is back and expanded! The Premier/Gottlieb tables in TPA get a huge bashing. From Cue Ball Wizard to Cactus Jack's, they're almost universally lambasted with endless amounts of scorn poured over them. Surely though...

    Table Pack #60 Speculation Thread

    They couldn't hold it back forever! Even though we're getting the hint in a couple of days, we can still get on with guessing what's going to be in Table Pack #60. Remember, FS threw a spanner in the works by making Dr Who: Masters Of Time Table Pack #58, meaning that Season 6 will have 11...

    Pinball Showdown - a Pinball card game

    Just came across this Kickstarter. It's already fully-funded and they're driving for their first stretch goal it seems (and look likely to make it). "Experience pinball from the pinball's point of view. It's not as easy as it looks! In Pinball Showdown players are the pinball steering into a...

    AC/DC Strategy, Tips, and Tricks

    (Note to mods: please move this thread to an appropriate sub-forum for AC/DC, once it is available. Thanks!) I logged a good few hours with AC/DC last night, and got a reasonable feel for the table. Like most of the modern Stern tables, AC/DC has a very deep, complex ruleset that can take a...
