    WTB Game of Thrones Premium/LE

    Think that one is long gone (Reg, isn't this the one you bought?).

    Great Games that you sell - Just because it is time

    At a certain point, you run out of money, space, or both. It then gets to the point where you have to decide what to part with. I can see why someone who doesn't own, and can't afford to own, a particular game would think you were crazy for parting with it, but then again, if nobody ever...

    FS "Not Mine" Pinball Machines For Sale

    I still have no idea why people would reply to an ad and offer more than asking. If someone is selling for 3800, call and say "I'll take it-I'm on my way". If people quit trying to turn these things into auctions, then it'd stop happening.

    WPPR formula change to v5.3 for 2017

    This is basically the "defang the superleagues" change, but what it does kind of mess up is any regular league where you have variable attendance. Not sure about some of the others in the area, but TOPL tends to have about 70 people come out at least once in a 14 week season, but maybe only 30...

    SOLD Zizzle Marvel Super Heroes

    I have a Marvel Super Heroes Zizzle that I bought for my kids a couple years back that they've outgrown. It's a neat little game that's fun for smaller kids, since you can set it up either on the legs (included), or lower on an appropriately angled surface, so they can play without needing a...

    Building a Dream

    Nice-things are starting to take shape! What's left-floor, insulation, and heating?

    Pinball Plating and More...

    I know that Kim from TOPL has a place, but not sure where it is. Prices were pretty good though-PM me if you want his email.

    WTB Game of Thrones Premium/LE

    Just throwing this out there in case someone bought one and has decided they don't want to keep it. I've got a couple of things I'd consider trading towards it, but could also just do a cash deal and sell something else. I'd probably go premium over LE just to save a few bucks, but it depends...

    Stern Pinball Announces Partnership with FarSight Studios

    To be fair, it's farsight asking for money, and they've done this before with licensed games that would have been expensive otherwise. I thought the comment about VR was interesting though-it'd be a cool way to play virtual pinball, that's for sure, and the 3d effect could really help...

    Stern Pinball 30 Years of Fun Facts

    "The Blockbuster hit of the year" ...was a low production game :) I've still never seen an Independence Day, so it must be pretty uncommon.

    Contractor recommendations?

    Thanks-I'll drop them a line. I'm far enough west that it might be reasonable, but we'll see.

    Holy Pinball BATMAN!!!

    Very neat idea-looking forward to watching your progress.

    TIP WIZARD MODE Premiere at Hot Docs 2016

    If you don't feel like heading down to the festival, the movie is actually up on vimeo now. Looks like it's stream only (no download), but I'm sure that'll get rectified soon enough.

    SOLD TSPP

    Didn't you do the icicle mod on the moving ramp too, or was that someone else? Both good titles-good luck with the sale. Reg is a good guy to deal with.

    Contractor recommendations?

    Hey guys, I'm looking for a contractor for a bathroom renovation in Mississauga (401/Winston Churchill area). The project includes moving some non-load bearing walls to make an existing bathroom and walk in closet bigger, new standalone shower, bathtub, sinks etc. We've had a couple of quotes...

    Stern Ghostbusters

    Got to try a pro out this weekend at the TOPL tournament, and it seems like a neat machine. Not as complete out of the gate as GOT though: It seems like starting scenes off the skill shot is the way to go, since otherwise you have to hit the GHOST standup (dangerous), then slimer, and then...

    How to Load and Unload a Machine

    Not much else to add, other than to reiterate that you need to be careful sliding a game in and out of your car. In a pickup, you're probably a little safer, but I've found that it's really easy to get caught up on stuff. The big piece of cardboard idea isn't bad. The other thing you can do...

    Stern Ghostbusters

    Keep in mind that the reason slingshots even exist is to randomize the ball and make it harder to control. This is just an evolution of that idea to take something that's gotten reasonably predictable, and to make it more interesting. Some will probably bitch that it's too different, but...

    Stern Ghostbusters

    I think it could be a cool addition-it's taking something that was designed to add randomness to the ball, and making it even more random. Still looks like they have a ways to go, but at least they're trying something new. If nothing else, it means there could be a whole new set of skills you...
