Man that's at the same time as the local Trump rally... I'm torn... pinball, or a loudmouthed conman with a bad hairpiece?

I hope Pennsylvania voters aren't burnt out from all their commercials. Florida voters sure we're.

So far it's only Bernie nationally, which is a bit odd. All Senate, State representatives, and Attorney General... And wall-to-wall. Bored now.

My DVR and 30 second skip button are my heroes during election year.
I look forward to the live stream tomorrow.

Didn't watch but they were likely joking. They're always like that.

It was during the last 10 minutes or so. They seemed pretty sincere. They said that something else was planned for the table of season 5 , but it would probably be the 1st or 2nd table of Season 6. I think they were talking about Apollo 13, but I could be wrong. And if they were joking, it's not funny. Grrrr...

Okay. Thanks. I couldn't hear it too well as I had it on my mobile device and was multitasking.

Some notes from this:
- The LAH table Farsight purchased was broken and unplayable up until a few days ago
- Farsight still has the license for Arnolds likeness so that helped with making this table a reality without a Kickstarter
- T3 would still require a Kickstarter
- Possible iOS release may be delayed
- Wii U released today (Host comment [jokingly] "it only took 3 years")
- Host asked "Who would like 8-Ball Deluxe?"
- Capcom tables are in the realm of possibilities?
- Head-to-Head play coming out soon. "Not the next table. Maybe two releases from now"
- New UI *might* be coming out tomorrow

No surprise there. Every LAH I've ever played had issues (it is a DE after all), but I do like the pin.

Yeah, one of the reasons I dislike playing Last Auction: $0 on location is because the crane never freaking works. Data East really should have put in an option for virtual locked balls (they technically did it with the captive balls also counting towards M-ball, but no one ever shoots those.)
Once you get past the flaws, though, it's a decent game. It's one of the first games ever to encourage you to complete modes rather than time them out, similarly to STTNG.

Hey, they were able to get a Party Zone with a fully-intact and working Captain head (its jaw would seemingly always tear off over time), not to mention restoring R911's notoriously-fragile helicopter, so I'm sure they can get LAH's crane fully functional.
That thing about Party Zone is a big deal--according to several places I've read, NOBODY makes replacement rubber heads for that game, likely due to lack of demand.
Even the one at PAPA is a plastic, unmoving replica; though it still turns the full 360, the head is all one piece and doesn't mouth-sync with the in-game speech.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that Farsight was able to get the real deal and replicate it in-game. I'm just very surprised there were any intact ones left.
As for fragile games, it's very easy to forget how easily-broken TZ was. In an arcade environment, all those complex moving parts wore down REAL fast (even by pinball standards), and due to the way Lawlor designed it, if even one of those parts was operating even slightly below max capacity, the game became a lot less playable. TZ's incredible design only started getting the respect it deserved once a lot of them entered private use, where repairs could be made almost immediately. Another reason I'm glad Farsight was able to preserve it digitally, and why I'm so happy TPA exists in the first place.
...Also, "Last Auction: $0." I'm sure that was autocorrect, but man, that made me chuckle. Thanks.

Nah, it wasn't autocorrect - I give a lot of games I find mediocre or bad punny titles.
Well, you're entitled to your opinion.
I mean, sometimes I feel like I'm the only one that puts High Roller Casino in his top five favorite tables--and as of this post, that game has a Pinside rating under 7. Ouch.
On the flip side, I don't see what people love so much about CFTBL, or at least TPA's re-creation of it--I can't count how many times the ball has struck the post by the Snack Bar, and gotten me an instant center drain. Is it like that on the real machine? I've never found one in the wild.
But again, everyone has their tastes, and that's okay. It's not like you're bashing pinball as a whole--THEN we'd have a problem.

Why would I ever bash pinball? It's my biggest interest - there's bad machines and there's good machines, and everyone's opinions can be different. That's one of the reasons it's such a great hobby.
High Roller Casino is great, I don't get at all why people hate that table to death. It's mostly because of the code, though, the table layout feels a bit gimmicky.
BTW, that snack bar shot on Creature? You're supposed to shoot it as a backhand shot from the right flipper. Experiment with that, it'll help you out a lot.
