[QUOTE="ClaudeHenrySmoot, post: 32086, member: 415"] Gotta agree with the TPA crowd - I think we ALL have a true love for REAL pinball. And I think FarSight would agree! Do you really think any of us would turn down a choice between playing a real AFM vs iOS/XBOX/PS3/Android AFM? I notice this sentiment in other pinball forums - Pinside, RGP... pinball owners seem mystified why anyone would want/choose to play a video simulation. We love TPA because a solid majority of us [B][I]don't[/I][/B] have: - Tables nearby - Tables at home - Money to buy tables - Time to maintain tables - Space to store tables - Time to visit tables that are nearby Shoot, I'd love to pick up a table for the basement. And I probably will some day. But taking this year's WallyWorld vacation fund and dumping it into a Monster Bash would probably leave me divorced/hated by my children. So I owe FS a huge thanks for allowing me to remain an active pinhead and enjoy a hobby that I'd otherwise have no access to. Not trying to pick a fight here - just felt the need to clear up the fact that we're ALL pinheads. Sorry for ranting off-topic! [/QUOTE]
