    Is there or is there not a reasonable chance to get The Addams Family?

    I prefer standard as well. Random awards are lame, and the gold is ugly.

    TMNT Data East

    Yeah, DE:SW is not widely acknowledged as being a crappy table to begin with. And with the new code, it's a fantastic table now.

    Screen rotation within Game

    Seconding this request. I keep my playfield monitor in landscape mode to play Visual Pinball, and I would prefer not having to manually rotate the orientation every time I play TPA. Zen's implementation of this is exactly what you guys should do (see also, their DMD positioning.)

    A few questions regarding the PC version

    Yes, Steam is the only legal way to play it, yes you can play it in offline mode, yes you can play it in portrait mode.

    Is there an commonly accepted name for this maneuver?

    For games with really obtuse angle shots, this could potentially give you better set-up than coming from a full cradle, but I think it's too unpredictable to make it worth the risk of trying. So probably more a quirk than anything.

    Is there an commonly accepted name for this maneuver?

    So funny, I don't think I've ever seen a tip stall last more than a moment or two, but it happened to me while playing an AC/DC Pro on location yesterday. I only held it for a few seconds, as I was in the middle of a hell of a ball, but it seemed like it would have hung out there indefinitely...

    Big Bear City Council considers lifting pinball ban

    Not sure if this was the one you read, but it's a good one: How One Perfect Shot Saved Pinball From Being Illegal And a great pic:

    Big Bear City Council considers lifting pinball ban

    If that's true, it's only selectively enforced, if at all. I was in Charleston over the holidays and saw plenty of kids playing a TZ I found on location.

    The Pinball Gallery in Downingtown, Pa

    A recent article about the Pinball Gallery and the rise in popularity of pinball in general. I'm in one of the pictures in the associated photo gallery as well.

    PC - Request Add Portrait mode

    Portrait mode is already there. Rotate your monitor's display to portrait then launch TPA through steam and select the configuration utility. Choose your resolution. Done.

    a list of D. Pettit's "Significantly Collectible" pinballs

    Those prices even seem low for 2011 standards. Everything from Banzai Run down laughably so.

    Farsight not charging extra for cabinet version

    If you don't mind sacrificing a few of the fancier features, building a mini cabinet can be pretty seriously cheap. Get yourself a 22" 16:9 monitor for the playfield and a 17" 4:3 monitor for the backglass. Build a wooden box. Buy an iPac and however many buttons you want. Drill holes. Wire it...

    What is the best phone for TPA?

    Seconding the One, love it to pieces and TPA plays great.

    Request mirror for the top bonus section

    Similar to what's there for Theatre of Magic, I'm thinking is the request. If it wasn't on the real life tale, Farsight can't/won't add it in.

    The Pinball Gallery in Downingtown, Pa

    Pinball Gallery's monthly tournaments continue tomorrow. Anyone else going to make it? I'll be there for sure.

    The Humble Weekly Sale: Zen Studios

    I think the best way to approach TPA's rules is to start by getting all the Standard and Wizard goals, and using the targeted instruction segments as needed to check those off. Once those are done, you can reference the rules for any part of the table that wasn't covered by those rules. This...

    Pinball machine owners list

    Congrats and welcome to the club! Three great pins to keep you busy. Wouldn't be surprised at all if Baywatch becomes your favorite of the three. People who haven't played it have no idea what a deep game lies beneath that theme. And yeah, seconding a proper appliance dolly and a strong second...

    [Explained] Controller Support Options for Android

    About the same setup for me, but forgot an important one: On the airplane. Tray table down, tablet leaning against seat-back, hands holding controller under the tray.

    Flippin' Out With...Scott Shelton of FarSight

    That I was able to get all of the BH Wizard Goals on Xbox360 when this table was still broken is one of my proudest accomplishments in TPA. Great read!
