    Insider Connect, worth it?

    Yeah, I tried that, but it's a lot of kind of hoping you get it in a long game. What is interesting is if you can shatz the saucer shot it credits for 2 of them. Still not easy to do though. Tried a couple of times at Maple last night, and didn't get past 3 of them. May try again on my home...

    Insider Connect, worth it?

    Week 4 challenges are listed as "Very hard", and some of them are definitely trickier than others. I managed to get AIQ (play soul gem), JP (start CHAOS mb), and UXM (reach the future) on the first try, but those were pretty easy. Getting a soul shard on IM was also pretty straightforward, but...

    TIP Multimorphic releases Portal

    I'm really glad they managed to score this theme-it's got the potential to be really good. Given that we're never getting a Portal 3, the next best thing we have is that Valve keeps letting other people play in the sandbox. There could be some interesting features on this if it used the scoops...

    Insider Connect, worth it?

    The week 2 challenges went up on Saturday morning, and they're a little harder, but still all achievable. It's a little like playing pingolf with objectives, or playing a gauntlet challenge, except without the timer. It looks like others are playing along too-there are a bunch of games where...

    Ramp mod added to TZ.....

    Interesting-are you doing that in addition to the magnet on the diverter? Usually that one is there to keep the ball from bouncing off the diverter and rolling back up the ramp, but I'd suspect this would also make the drop to the ramp cleaner. I don't recall this being a problem on my TZ, but...

    Insider Connect, worth it?

    They're actually doing something kind of interesting this month. There's a specific challenge for every IC machine, and a limited number of badges for each one of them: Yeah, they're reasonably meaningless, but it was enough of a nudge to try to grab them on all of my games this morning...

    Insider Connect, worth it?

    It's fun, and now that it's built into the games, I don't think it's adding a huge amount to the cost. I have a feeling that the cost of a NIB machine would still be the same with or without IC. The upgrade kits were marked up a ridiculous amount (which is why I hacked my own scanner sharing...

    ANSWER NEW John Wick Topper

    Interesting idea-I'm actually more interested in how something like that resets between power cycles. If you have the sand in a known state (all right side) then you know that you have 3 mins on the timer at startup. If not, you could put in a 3 min rotation to reset the state on startup, but...

    Stern Announces - Dungeons and Dragons: The Tyrant's Eye

    P1 has a pro on the floor now if you want to go check it out. I played a couple of games today, and I'm not really sure about it. The code is really thin right now (as you'd expect), but the layout is just OK on first impression. The biggest thing I noticed is that there are two shots that...

    Stern Walking Dead Remaster

    Isn't the other rumor a Borg Star Wars game this year? A new take on Walking Dead on the scale of Metallica Remastered could be really good. Not sure that it'd have the cultural impact that it did back when the game released, but doing a version styled after the comics that accounted for the...

    The Uncanny X-Men Trailer

    Spider-Man is out, UXM is in! Even after playing the P1 showroom game, somehow this one seems like it shoots even faster. Set it up at just under 7 degrees, and even then the ball just flies around the ramps most of the time. Will have to spend some time dialing it in over the weekend, but...

    SOLD Stern Spider-Man (original)

    And off to a new home, likely to be replaced by either Uncanny X-Men or D&D once I get a chance to try one. Won't be long-nature does abhor a vacuum, and now there's an empty space in my basement where a pinball machine used to be.

    Stern Announces - Dungeons and Dragons: The Tyrant's Eye

    So it looks like LEs are on the line, but do dealers have any showroom games yet? I'd really like to try this one, and so does my wife actually. The idea of being able to save progress across multiple games could be the deciding factor on what to get next.

    WTB Shooter Lane Protectors - I want some, anyone else??

    That STL seems to print OK if you add a raft to it. Haven't put this in a game yet, but I'm curious how it holds up in PLA. Seems like it would crack. Also need to sand down any roughness on the print to make sure that it doesn't scratch the balls and cause more damage than it prevents.
