A lot of stuff from that show. There were 450+ people in that Twitch Stream which is like 3x as many as I've seen in the past. So good job there. Here's my notes.

TAF Related Notes:

- Tomorrows release will be for Steam/Android and iOS *should* be out too but with Apple there's possibility of delay
- Releasing tables to Kickstarter backers is a manual process on Android/iOS (and Steam?) so may take a bit before you get the table after it's actually released
- After release on XB1 it will take a few days for backers to get their codes
- After release on PS4 it will take a few weeks (3?) for backers to get their codes
- Farsight mentioned this is out of their hands but are trying to work with PSN to get them released quicker
- Gold mode will be out with the table release (Note: This is exclusive to those Kickstarter backers that pledged in the tiers offered)
- To get it you just go in to the Pro menu and change the "Gold Mode" setting to "On"
- Table automatically changes to the Gold highlights
- The Rom changes to the Gold rom
- There's a new (separate) leaderboard for just the Gold table
- Christopher Lloyd apparently wanted as much as the Kickstarter goal for his likeness
- A TAF ball pack will also be released with the table (although a few day delay on iOS). Here's information on the balls they showed:
- Dirty golf ball - smaller ball with the following physics changes: Lighter and floater but also slower
- Lightning ball - Dark blue ball with lightning pattern and the following changes: Animated lightning bolts light up around the ball. The ball will ignore "The Power" on the TAF table. Does not ignore "The Power" on Twilight Zone however
- Hurricane Irene ball - Copper ball with some lettering and has the following changes: Animated sheets of paper fly out of ball, ball is faster and accelerates quickly due to increased gravity
- Thing Ball - Silver ball with Thing's hand on top and has the following changes: Things fingers animate as ball moves around table, and this ball has ball control (e.g. you can move the ball around the table)
- Uncle Fester ball - Uncle festers head with an animated light bulb in its mouth. It looks creepy and kooky.
- "What" ball - A ball with hair all around it. Looks similar to cousin it. It was crashing the table (they were in the process of working on it) so no idea what it does or if it has any physics changes
- Can purchase the ball back separately if you didn't get it in the Kickstarter. Apparently will cost as much as a table.
- The balls you can control are usable on all tables
- To control the ball on the PC with a controller you use the right thumb stick to move the ball around. The LB button will apply a break to the ball. The RB button will turn the ball gravity off)
- Leaderboard scores are disable with the ball control and balls with physics changes
- The balls with physic changes are useable on all tables
- Fester multiball was pretty damn funny

General TPA news:

- Still preparing DX11
- Still working with Microsoft on 360 table releases
- Ghostbusters table coming to PC

btw suggestion for farsight here. if you use the lightning ball on other tables, make it play as if the power is ON for them always. :)
