Well after 6 months of really crappy internet, I finally got equipment back up to start playing again, I may be streaming again soon

Not streamed since my 48b Ripley's score that didn't register. I suppose I'll start again when the Xbox One version releases. I'll post here when I do.

 

[Pinballwiz45b]

I think I'll go live again on Friday.

 

[Pinballwiz45b]

Live in 30 min!

So I bought season 4, since the Jack●Bot conversion came out beautifully well. Looks like a good chance for me to stream some, since this is the one time I'll ever be noodling around on these tables rather than high score attacking. Come watch me learn the season 4 games.

I'll start around 8 pm US Eastern tonight.

That's 2am for me
Guess I'll just video tape it... eh.

Casual play stream right now for a bit. Probably Jackbot and some PFX2 - link is in my signature.

Too late for me as well. Save the stream on twitch please!

 

[vikingerik]

Stream is running. http://www.twitch.tv/vikingerik78 Played a game of Jack*Bot and now on to something else.

Didn't do anything spectacular, but you might find it entertaining as I learn my way around new tables. Probably the coolest moment was a bangback on Cyclone.

I checked out some of it. Nice bangback on Cyclone! I've never made a successful bangback on any TPA game ever, and I have tried. A lot! Pretty cool to see you get into which shots work best for you on a table. I play quite differently (not nearly as safe). I learned some nice tricks, thanks for that!!

It looks like you never nudge when the ball is in the middle of the playfield. How come? That is an excellent way to steer the ball imo (too good really). Doesn't really look like you need it though, just something I noticed

 

[vikingerik]

Yes, I break down everything methodically like that. What shots can be hit from which flippers, at what reliability and risk levels, for what rewards. That's the core of strategy and everything else is optimization from those inputs.

On nudging in the center... It's just not part of my instincts and skill set. I trained my pinball brain on Pinball Fantasies, Epic Pinball, and Pro Pinball, all of which don't do anything noticeable to a ball on nudging in free space. So it never became part of my instincts. I know it would be helpful in TPA and I've seen what Mark Miwurdz does with it, but to me it's like trying to learn and speak a foreign language. Although it does make me remember that there are many players for whom any nudging is as foreign as that to me.

HRC is the other TPA table I've done bangbacks on, a few times. I also remember a death save once, on a screaming fast ball down the right outlane, I forget which table but remember it being just a novelty since I was going infinite anyway, so best guess is Medieval Madness or Whitewater.

 

[Mark Miwurdz]

Yes, that kind of nudging is now totally natural to me.

Apparently 60 fps works here for non-partners. I play a quick variety. Testing only - TPA, then TF2, then Evolve.

I assume I will be able to stream 60 fps TPA in DX11 with zero performance issues whenever we are given the go-ahead for videos/streaming DX11.

Currently streaming LCA on twitch. Just passed 200m and going for #1 score. http://www.twitch.tv/markmiwurdz

 

[fromduc]

Dude, i thought the methode on this table was already boring but going ONLY for cards and not even maximizing MBs... well i couldnt.

 

[Mark Miwurdz]

I was trying to maximise eb's. Trying not to play it too tight, though. It's well boring. Currently on 378m.

 

[Mark Miwurdz]

Froze at 440m. Was gonna stop at 500m. Just like MM, I've been robbed of another #1 score.
