Squid!

Don't listen to time frames doctors give you...if you have the will to live, you'll be with us for as long as your willing to fight for it.

Im a student of eastern philosophies. Right now is all the eternity I need.

Im with y'all though. I have hated doctors for a long time. They're all about money for the most part.

Enough of this crap. We're here for pinball.

Squid! In the house! Welcome back sir. Stay strong and think strong.
Now what I want to know is...what kind of RBION score can you post on a morphine drip?

 

[Squid]

19B. About a half hour ago. I felt I was lucky enough to claim the top spot before I went in.

Things just really clicked that day. Despite dealing with drynheaves.

Nice to see you haven't lost the touch. Have you seen the PS4 version of Ripley's yet?

 

[Jeff Strong]

Squid, you need to get yourself a PS4 so you can stream directly with the built in Twitch functionality.

Ill get to work on a text based guide you guys deserve it and i gotta teach someone to take me down.

With some of the stuff you've said before, I got my score up to 2 billion...I'll be your apprentice with new tips!

Edited my info out since I won't be playing much till they fix the friend leaderboards. I'll readd later.

Ha! Every sage from Jesus to Yoda to Buddha to Lao Tzu to Watts to... on and on, has said the same thing in different ways. Earlier tonight I saw an interview with the Boss (Springsteen). He said, "it's not the time in your life, it's the life in your time."

It's just something you feel and do. Everybody has probably done it when they were children.

My stepson plans on getting one eventually. I plan on using it.

That's what I was trying to prove. I was glad to be home and tired of sleeping.? I've seen some footage but no Ripley's. It does look nice but are the physics any different?

Only difference I've noticed (I was never a huge expert though so this doesn't mean much) is that on the PS4 version, holding the upper flipper up to catch a kick-out from the vari-target gives a highly reliable return to the flippers, whereas it was a bit dicey for me on the PS3 as far as I can remember.

Interesting, as I find that to be one of the most reliable things on the PS3 version! Hold the flipper, ball comes out, rolls to the left, grazes left slingshot, bounces off top of left raised flipper, right over to the right flipper. Bam, ball controlled! Works 9 our of 10 times for me.

I'm going to be streaming Black Rose after class tomorrow, hopefully with no work during the weekend.

Ah, okay, in that case it's pretty much the same on PS4 then. For some reason I never quite worked that out on PS3... I think I must have also been trying it when the ball was coming through from the orbit, at a different velocity, and that didn't work so well so it scared me off from trying it at all.

Ah yes. I remember doing this move myself. I stopped. It's that 1in 10 that worried me. I just use the penguin loop to send it around for a bounce pass off of the right flipper to the left one.

My question about the physics was really about if they are any different (more difficult) across the whole game in general.

I still stick to my simple nudge technique:

Has anyone done any streaming with the PC version, and on a somewhat older machine? It's a Core 2 Duo (Wolfdale) with Windows XP, and I'm trying to stream through Twitch.tv. XSplit as the broadcasting software barely works, but can't maintain any usable quality, even dropping to 640x360p at 15fps still leaves TPA playing choppy. FFsplit wouldn't run, requires Windows Vista or later. Memory isn't the bottleneck, 4 GB and it's not all used.

Anyone got any suggestions? If I get this working, you can see me challenging the Twilight Zone leaderboard this weekend.
