It's a great idea! People here are clamoring for more than just playing for fun or in glitchy tournaments. The novelty of TPA has worn off, so to speak. It's time start engaging your audience!

Wow. I just heard a record scratch in my head after reading that.

Giving everyone a year and some change notice for them to warm up to the idea! Or not. Too far in the future for me so predict, but probably just start all over again.

after trying a round on firepower, i remembered i'd been getting just a-little better on this one over time... but not as much as bk2k, which kind of blows my mind! fp is its own tough one too; good choice for a revisit... do the ones -no- one really enjoys first lol!! ;0
as far as zen lately, i have to mention i think their south park 'super sweet' table (the main one) is pretty insidiously addictive fun - and 'butters' is the same, but deviously more difficult and frustrating! wwwwaayyy too short on the event timers! the targets rampages are pretty difficult to reliably hit too, so it seems infinitely harder than 'super sweet'... but that got me into a round of revisiting what i have of them; yeah they're fun... just kind of a dividing line i guess between those of us who -know- what they should feel like, instead of some kinda insane 'pinball teleportation' feature or something, to say the least! (i guess if the pinball actually felt like a pinball - and the majority of the tables made satisfying play-sense, i wouldn't care otherwise!) but the southpark table pack was a pleasure; perhaps the best set they have right now, imho!

I just have the 50,000 goal left and it's driving me crazy. Anyone know a sure fire way of hitting the bottom right 'power' target?
And I'll just say even if Big Shot gets picked by my randomizer next week, it will mysteriously proceed to pick another table!

If I slip the randomizer a five spot, will it pick a season 1 table next week?

I honestly looked into building a 'money wheel' or 'wheel of fortune' that I could put all the names on and spin in a live stream for everyone to watch.
Then I remembered nobody would really care.

Whew! Just had "that" game. Not only did I finish off the final wizard goal of getting the 50k bonus, but I also scored 1.56 million. That's the first time I've ever turned the score over on this table.
I did kinda figure out a method for hitting the lower right target. With the left flipper, aim for the number 5 and 6 target. Not sure if it's a hit inbetween the two that does it, or just happenstance from either of the two, but if you are lucky the ball will ricochet off the top of the right slingshot and do a bounce into that impossible to aim for target. I actually managed to do it twice in a row and thought I was on to something, only for it to fail the next 10 times. Good news is, none of those misses resulted in a drain, so it's worth the try.
This is such a weirdly inconsistent table, in that I've had some games where I launch 3 house balls in a row, and others where the outlanes are never an issue. Not quite as many house balls as Genie, but still. I do feel good about aiming on the table now though. I can hit the spinner 9 times out of 10 now. The right ball capture is no longer pure luck for me, but maybe 50/50.
Really wish my machine was playable now. I feel motivated to remedy that.

I think I have to confess now...
I always love that kind of magic.
Not knowing is the other half of the battle !
