You know you're obsessed with Pinball Arcade when...

[netizen]

The one I have been seeing lately has been "I won't back the T2 Kickstarter because I like TPA too much and I think they need a wake up call re: how they do things, or because they aren't making the tables I want."

You get addicted to playing pinball again, build up a collection of 380 virtual tables on your PC, and then build your own virtual pinball cabinet. All of this within a six month period. Then wait anxiously for TPA to support the PC and hopefully your cabinet. AND you spend money on the T2 kickstarter even though you've already got an awesome virtual version of this running on your cabinet. The virtual pinball ecosystem has me VERY obsessed. And it all started with Farsight.

Wow didn't even know that existed, you made my day. April is built like elvira, and it has retail version toys! Does it play well?

Never tried it, but I'm sure it's terrible.

Same here... Plus developing special 3d glasses for the rotated Tv in the Vpin. ...and of course buying 4 real machines
Not to mention managing a pinball league and setting up tournaments...

But I never nudged my sink definitely the winner!

You begin scouring the internet for places that sell pinball music, and failing that download virtual pin solely for the purpurse of recording the sound tests.

All for the sake of THAT Twilight Zone jackpot theme!

I watched the entire 53 minute youtube video of "Goin' Nuts", then I lay down and go to sleep and I dream about squirrels and multiball all night.

lol ball physics have come a long way, looks like it's in slow motion at times.

When you come back to this website multiple times on a daily basis just to see if there are new posts to read.

You download the Pinball App from the Google play store to hunt out and play real games, I'm a courier so this is possible for me after deliveries of coarse.

Pinball Dreams/Fantasies was great

So was Microsoft Pinball Arcade I still own a copy and play, great graphics and physics.

Go to a pinball show with hundreds of REAL pins but get bummed out that FS isnt there with TPA

It was good for its time, but the physics always seemed kinda weird to me:

When you start playing real pinball.

Never tried it, but I'm sure it's terrible.

I recently played the TMNT table and didn't enjoy it. Might be because I played these tables for the first time that day: Funhouse, Genie, High Speed, Whirlwind, Pinbot, The Black Knight 2K, Terminator 2, and Seawitch.

I've played TMNT, it's not *that* bad. Actually it's quite fun, reminds me of Surf n Safari as it has a sort of fan layout, is very colourful, and has great comedy audio.

In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king - it's pinball, dude, so it's great fun even if its a stinker like XFiles or Gilligan's Island. Turtles is definitely better than those two, and well worth it's current asking price (UK - approx £600 nowadays)

Cowabunga dude!

It looks better than any TPA table since Cirqus Voltaire though

You start communicating with people in a scary robot voice saying stuff like "Bad move, human".

I'm guilty of that one all the time, sorry to admit it. There are so many great quotes that can be just perfect at the opportune moment.

Your mother drives a dump truck.

That wasn't the moment for that quote, for example.
