What so good about Earthshaker. I would really like to know.

Great theme, fun shots, and a blast to play.
Feels like a classic Lawlor design.
The shots are varied and utilize the whole playfield.
Really love the two part jackpot, really makes you work for the score.

I wonder what the November and December tables will be.
I'm hoping for Roadshow and High Speed 2

I played a wore out EARTHSHAKER back in March this year at "The Texas Pinball Festival" just my personal opinion I was not impressed the shaker box was powerful I don't think the shaker portion of the game will mean anything to tablets but it might be more fun when released but like I said the playfield and all was just heavily worn out I played one game and walked away not thrilled. Not hating just saying my recent experience but the artwork on Backglass was 50's cool like Elvis.

Na.. I have a $350 custom pinball machine I bought from "Sotie" last September you insert iPad and it's the best experience. I would post a pic here of my mini pin but I can't figure out how to post a pic in here. Help!
Everytime I copy then paste on URL nothing pastes. Confusing...

If you go to photobucket.com, you'll have to set up a user name and password. But once you do that (it's free), just upload photos, and you're off to the races. Then you just copy n paste the URL or whatever it's called

*unless you already did that of coarse. But at least with photobucket, it'll point out which URL is meant for forums

Anyone else getting bugs in the challenges menus since the Dracula install? My kindle now has Playstation like buttons next to each button ( A, B, L1) and there is no longer a restart button only back and continue. And it can only be read in landscape mode other wise it all shifts off the screen.

The most annoying bug/glitch so far is when it loses track of the number of balls in play during multi-ball. If you drain the second-to-last ball, which ends multi-ball, the table thinks its the last ball and does your bonus, feeds a new ball to the plunger, and starts the skill shot. Meanwhile, it registers the ball still in play when it hits a switch, cancels the end of the ball (I think? would be seriously screwed up if you still counted as "draining"), plunges the new ball, and you're in "multi-ball" in single-ball mode.

Everything clears up when you get a Castle Lock, but it's annoying/confusing when that happens.

Mist ball is neat and all but I would have to say the coolest unique thing about the Dracula table is that the each jet hit plays the next note in the song giving the music this random rhythm that is creepy and off-putting in a good way. Are there any other pinball tables that do this?

Still not a fan of the video mode, it is too long and too easy. I have never lost it. Sure I like the additional 15 million points but it is getting on my nerves the way that shoot out does in Lights Camera Action.

Video mode bugs me a bit also because video games is sort of what killed pinball, at the same time it is what cause them to compete and resulted in some of the great 90's 00's tables. But I like the ones that competed by innovating and changing their target from little kids playing in arcades (space ships and robots) and went after the buyers of tables (golf, casinos, retro themes like monster movies, drive ins, diners, 70's throwback art design) I prefer these tables over the ones that try to compete by directly with video games by continuing to go after kids and adding video modes. I remember being a kid and looking at the video modes that looked like something that would be in a game watch and wondering why anyone would want to play that video mode when Pac-Man, Mortal Kombat, TMNT (pick your year) was right on the other side of the arcade.

I just want my BSD right now. Damn Apple!!!

I couldn't agree more Shawn. I'm tired of Apples elitist attitude!!! I'm seriously pissed off. I hope this ONKY happened due to the release of the iPhone 6 and is not going to continue. Does anyone know what the "official" reason behind the delay is? Did they once again make it harder for developers or is it a one time thing?

Apple has been changing some things with iOS 8 coming. In addition many apps need updating for the iOS 8 change as well. I'd bet that's causing the slowdown. Shouldn't be a big delay and I'd assume it wouldn't cause a delay every month.

So what, only little kids play/played video games? I worked in an arcade in the 90's...lotta teens and adults, not so many 8 year olds.
