    The Pinball Show

    I'm still afraid to come close enough to the monitor to type, for fear that the over-rehearsed guy is going to put my eye out flapping his 3D gangsta hands at me. What an uninspiring bore. They didn't say what they /were/ going to do, but it's pretty clear what they're /not/ interested in...

    Zen Studios acquired by Embracer Group

    Their acquisition of Dunder Mifflin went well.

    Williams' Collection Volume 7 guesses

    Yea, Eight Ball Deluxe, Centaur, and Taxi would be quite the hit for me. A few of the other B/W Collections included one table I didn't really want, but Volume 6 was the first time I didn't care about two of the titles (Funhouse and Dr. Dude). That's just me of course. But that meh-ism...

    Williams' Collection Volume 6 guesses

    Indeed - back to pinball! I think we now can look forward to news about toy pinball cabinets from GarbageMart containing exciting assortments of FX3-year-old tables! Considering how much my appreciation for TPA Gottlieb tables has escalated over the last few months, I fear that by February I...

    Williams' Collection Volume 6 guesses

    I know Shutyertrap tried to console us that Zen has plenty of employees and individual teams devoted to specific projects, but I also have had GameAddict's suspicion for six months or so. The moaning on facebook is laughable to me. Which do people want? As many new tables as possible delivered...

    Williams' Collection Volume 6 guesses

    That is extremely helpful. Thank you. It felt weird to actually use the right stick for something, sort of like looking for the hazard lights in a car you've driven for 60,000 miles.

    Williams' Collection Volume 6 guesses

    I just recently started to play TPA Diner and like it much more than I thought I would. I think my initial test dines were off-putting due to a poorly chosen camera angle that made some objectives cumbersome, specifically the skill shot/top rollover scheme that was hard to see. That happens...

    Williams' Collection Volume 6 guesses

    from disgracebook: OP: "Fingers crossed for a classic" Pinball FX3" "Well, well... I think we might serve it!" That sounds like Diner, unless there is some 'classic' sports-themed game that uses the word /serve/ prominently. I can't imagine Diner and Taxi in the same offering since their...

    So really, What do you think is up with Zen?

    Maybe not a customizable mode, but a Frankenstein table of Fan Fave components. Either of those options would be a total throw-away for me and an enormous disappointment after all this time. If the Zen community is so easily distracted so as to rejoice and emoji at being able to type the word...

    Williams' Collection Volume 6 guesses

    One time I was very late buying a birthday gift for my niece whom I see every weekend. One Saturday she was all smiles and asked "Did you remember my present?" Like the Grinch answering Cindy-Lou Hoo, I said "Even Better. Guess what animal I'm thinking of." That resulted in 20 minutes of...

    Williams' Collection Volume 5 impressions

    Of course Thank You for a tutorial that is informative and valuable, but your calm style of presentation also is much appreciated. I would enjoy watching your video and listening to you describe the logic and sequencing or play even if I had no interest in video pinball games. Contrast this to...

    Williams' Collection Volume 5 guesses

    A Zen Williams pack walks into a bar, the pack advertised as another monster table, a holiday table, and a celebrity table. Bartender says, "What'll you have, Taxi?"

    Zen & Stern collaboration teaser?

    I have a nice 3-screen set-up and will be getting a full-featured cab soon. Unfortunately, I am a free alternative failure and therefore constrained to what Steam or other companies package nicely for me. I have tried to install and launch free alts numerous times, always patiently following...

    Zen & Stern collaboration teaser?

    A separate Bally/Williams EM app sounds wonderful. Similar to launching Zaccaria, B/W EM could drop you into this very different pinball world where everything is a little calmer and dreamier. Zaccaria (seems to have intentionally) adopted a slightly lysergic color palette and soundscape that is...

    Stern Speculation

    Yep, Epic is the parent folder of AC/DC, and thanks for the 'Luci' correction. I know about the lingering 'After Dark' concept but do not recall Mel chiming in. You're probably right, though.

    Stern Speculation

    Somewhere on these boards is an old quote from Mel saying that Fish Tales is his favorite real-world machine, long before The Great Bally/Williams Debacle, Reveal, and High-Wire Act, part of which was Fish Tales released as the free table accompanying Williams Pack 1. Very recently Zen has...

    Best vertical monitor size?

    I play with an Xbox controller, which works the same way: flippers are the larger (bottom) triggers and magnasave is the smaller (top) triggers. My question is this: Does anyone know how the hell to /remember/ to use magnasave on Black Knight in TPA? Never once for me.

    Best vertical monitor size?

    Features vary from builder-to-builder, but some advantages that appeal to me are things like the tactile benefits of a real mechanical plunger, physical old-fashioned nudging of a real cabinet that can be fine-tuned to suit the user, and a genuine DMD screen right in the easy-to-see location...

    Best vertical monitor size?

    msilcommand, Those issues of viewing angle are really squirrelly. I initially had my 3-monitor rig on one desk and experienced some of the problems you mention. I moved everything to a different desk with a different chair and am completely happy. I sit directly in front of the 28" 4K vertical...
