Your First Pinball Tournament Becomes More Interesting When...
..you discover that Josh Henderson, the second-place finisher in the A Division at PAPA 15, is in the field. Thankfully I didn't have to play Josh head-to-head this weekend, although I did play his father Mark in one of the later rounds in the B Division. Josh eventually won the tournament, but...- Sean DonCarlos

On Golfing with Flippers
In the course of this weekend's tournament (of which more next post), I was introduced to the concept of PinGolf during its qualifying rounds. Essentially, there is a target score for each table on the "course", and your object is to reach that score in the fewest number of balls ("strokes"). If...- Sean DonCarlos

Having Propelled the Ball Along the Proper Trajectory, I Have Indeed Been Rewarded
On the non-league front, starting ST:TNG's Final Frontier mode is much more interesting with a set of artifacts collected (which in addition to the 100M bonus for each artifact gives a 1 billion point payoff for the set). High score advanced from 2.4B to a touch below 4.2B. Thank you Mr. Data...- Sean DonCarlos

There's No Crying in Pinball

Return to the Zone
League again did not go so well tonight, including a 32M disaster of a game on TZ. (Sometimes the table just hates you.) But of course I wasn't going to leave for the evening without taking at least a small measure of revenge. Nothing too major, a simple replay (238M tonight) would do. A small...- Sean DonCarlos

On Returning to Real Pinball and the Taming of the Twilight Zone, Part II
[Continued from Part I] Then the dreaded plateau hit. When you first start learning (or restart, in my case), your results usually rise swiftly, simply because you have so many avenues for improvement. But after you've learned the basics, further progress becomes harder and slower. You have...- Sean DonCarlos

On Returning to Real Pinball and the Taming of the Twilight Zone, Part I
[EDIT: So apparently there's a 10,000 character limit on blog posts. Only I would be so long-winded as to find it. But my journey with TZ takes a while to do it justice, so I've split it into two parts and disabled commenting on this part. If you want to comment, please do so on Part II. Thanks...- Sean DonCarlos
