Something I noticed when reading or hearing descriptions of pinball machines, including Pinball News, TV Tropes, the four or so podcasts I've listened to, and The Pinball Arcade, is that whenever referring to the player by a pronoun, it's almost always either "he" or "him," and never "he or she"...
I'm trying to look into what makes a table good or bad. People seem to typically be incredibly vague about them. Austin Powers comes to mind in particular about a game a lot of people dislike. It borrows a lot from Medieval Madness and Monster Bash, two very well-liked games. I have yet to play...
Wikipedia says that it's Williams, but the Internet Pinball Database says Data East eventually bought the trademark. As Data East would eventually become Stern, it'd make sense if this was the case, as Stern has been freely using the word "multiball." However, I've noticed Jersey Jack using the...
Let's face it, not everyone will be able to get access to every pinball machine in existence. Some are just too rare, too new, too expensive, or too fragile to get the opportunity to play them. What are some of the ones you want to play on for real but, for one reason or another, have never been...
I am playing on an Acer Iconia A1-810 using Jelly Bean 4.2.2, and I noticed that Wizard Goals only start activating AFTER I have achieved all of the Standard Goals and finished the game when the last Standard Goal is met. It's a bit frustrating to finish the last Standard Goal, only to see I've...
Until I got back into pinball last year, I thought nudging was cheating. As a result, I have never learned to react by nudging (but I have since learned that it's a valid and common technique). Hence, the pinball I've played since then have largely been nudge-free. The number of times I've saved...
It says on the bug lists that no one who's tested Taxi has been able to plunge the ball hard enough to get past 25,000 points on the second run up on the Spinout. I don't know if this itself is another glitch or not, but plunging all the way results in a shorter Spinout round than if you plunge...
I've dropped a few posts on here already, since I have the usual thing of lurking about until there's something I really want to get off my chest, but I figure I might as well introduce myself.
I won't tell you my real name, my home address, or my occupation, but I can tell you this: I actually...
