    CONTEST: Predict Season 6!

    Thanks for copying this over! Not really wanting to change any predictions -- even if there were entries I would change since making my original guess, I'd rather treat this contest more as a gentle nudge toward which tables I feel are great vs. "mere" bragging rights. (Not that I'd turn down...

    CONTEST: Predict Season 5 & Table Packs 39 & 40!

    Does anybody else think that maybe starting a new thread for Season 6 predictions might increase the visibility a little? In any case, here's my predictions / wishlist: 1) Indy 500 2) Mousin' Around 3) Al's Garage Band 4) Dr Who 5) Tales from the Crypt 6) Genesis 7) AG Soccer 8) Congo 9) The...

    Most Wanted Feature? Dream with me...

    This (and aside from DX11 lighting, only this in the thread would make me excited). Especially if one of the options for league setup is "pingolf" scoring (number of plunges required to reach some target score/goal). I would love to see what sort of scores might get put up by the regular...

    TPA Streaming Thread

    Just got myself a little studio setup going. http://www.twitch.tv/akrumbach As you can note from my streaming history, I suffer greatly from "Gamer-D-D" (distractability disorder) and will stream... well, whatever really, but I will try to put a good chunk of pinball in there over the next few...

    Pack 18: a Virtual vs. Real Pinball Object Lesson

    Agreed... if that was a picture from a machine I personally owned. However, the caveat is the two horrible words "On Location"; that's (one of) the machines owned by a local arcade. I guess it's my one big disappointment of only owning the digital pinball tables right now: there's no actual...

    Pack 18: a Virtual vs. Real Pinball Object Lesson

    There are very few tables on location in Atlanta that I expect to eventually see in the Pinball Arcade; most of them are newer Sterns and the licensing would require a massive Kickstart. The only three real contenders were T2 (which we got), a High Speed, and Tee'd Off. While eventually getting...

    Terminator 2 Kickstarter BEGINNING NOW!!!

    I'm going to "spoil" my own experiment* and state that my personal belief was that FS had chosen the timing of the kickstarter in part so that the monthly uppdate would help with the initial push. I fully expect the June update to have a note regarding the T2 funding campaign. *: My roommate...

    Bug Missing ball, unable to continue

    I just ran into the 'missing ball' bug for the first time with a game this morning on my tablet... twice, actually, because both times "call attendant" didn't work, but the first time, I was able to free the ball by judicious nudging. Both times I was playing 'puke' multiball (refining my...

    1st Pin That Hooked You on Pinball

    For me, it was a two game combo that really hooked me. The first part was a solid state game called Cowboy. This game was setup in a supply closet in the church my family attended, marked for free play, but the door was locked except for about 15 minutes between the morning service and Sunday...

    How do we get the ball graphics from the tournaments

    Any suggestions toward a solution for those of us who don't trust Mark Zuckerberg with our personal lives?

    Your Top #5 favorite sounds on TPA's tables

    Here's my top five in no particular order: Twilight Zone -- start of game: "You unlock this door with the key of imagination..." Attack from Mars -- when activating your 2nd (or further) Martian multiball in a game: "Not you again!" Monster Bash -- hit Frankenstein (quickly in succession?)-...

    Bug Table "Hangs" after end of game

    I've now had this same bug appear at least 4 times on Firepower: thankfully, it's not so severe I couldn't find a temporary workaround to at least allow me to post my game scores and claim my achievements. Problem: After the final ball of the game drains, the end of game sounds will play (i.e...

    Angry Pinball Nerd

    Fair, but I really wasn't (and personally don't) think that way (although it could qualify as such). To me, the examples were supposed to be more of "You idiot, this has happened dozens of times before and you know how to save it... so why didn't you?" It's "pilot error" moments that make me...

    Angry Pinball Nerd

    If you can backhand the ball between the right ramp posts from the right flipper, I find that on return the ball has just enough speed for a dead bounce from right to left, too. (That is, assuming it doesn't just go up the ramp!) As to the rage -- I've only picked up TPA in the last month, so...
