And you know what-if he'd delivered games on time, then it probably would have worked, or at least worked to the extent that games would have made it to buyers. Whether Fox found out after the fact or not is a different story, but since they seem to have been oblivious until they were notified...

But you can actually deduct the $800 exemption from a single larger ticket item? I didn't actually know that-has anyone done that successfully?

Can you actually break down a single big ticket item like this? By that logic, you could take 8 friends down and bring the whole thing back tax free, right? Actually, this could work if you disassembled a game into smaller parts... I'm bringing back an empty cabinet, someone else has the...

This question has come up a few times already, and I realized that the way things were formatted on the website weren't incredibly obvious, so I just added this page (content copied from http://topl.ca/how-to-join-topl/ ): If you want to join the league, all you really need to do is show up to...

Hell, I'd welcome it-a way to get the better display without having to sink the cost of the LED DMD in there in the first place. I'd rather pay $150 for an upgrade than $400 for a new display that replaces something that'll just sit on a shelf. I'm honestly pretty amazed that the spike games...

Ever since they opened it up to more devs though, it really doesn't mean that doing game A prevents them from doing game B. Also, given that the displays are more interchangeable now, you can easily try one in Monopoly for a few weeks, and then move it over to LOTR, TSPP, or WH20 if you don't...

Good question-they're probably not going to be legally liable for anything, but if they produced a bunch of parts and hadn't been paid for them, that really sucks. This whole thing is just a shitty situation that probably could have been resolved if the people involved had just gone about...

There is a toronto women's league out there (Toronto Pinball Vixens on Facebook), and it's really more of a casual group of players than a competitive one. My wife plays with them mainly because it's on a different night from TOPL, and we can't both go to play pinball without someone to watch...

Well, so much for Predator? I realy hoped that the project would work out in the end, but if those are the facts, then they're the facts. Any idea whether the SkitB team is going to set the record straight on this, or will we just never hear from them again?

Looks nice-glad to see people finally getting their games. Really curious to see how they hold up with the new boards etc.

I think the pinball news article said it included both the crate and standard legs, which explains some of the cost, but still, I figured this would come in at $4k tops...

That pricing is crazy. I really wonder what the BOM on something like this is compared to a regular stern pro. There are definitely some more unique parts (score reels etc), but you'd think that'd be offset by the fact that there aren't near as many things on the PF. Still, I think the...

I got a chance to try this out last night on Nick's AFM, and the high res upscaling doesn't look great. Everything looks a little like melted wax... The "scan" option seemed a little better though, and some of the other modes (8bit, tile) were interesting too. If nothing else, it's great to...

I just figured that if they had original recordings around then you could remaster from those, but the original session tapes are probably long gone at this point.

Thanks-music sounds MUCH better there, but I noticed that the speech still sounds pretty fuzzy. Was that intentional, or do those higher res elements just not exist anymore?

That seems like a pretty substantial upgrade, right up there with colorDMD in terms of changing the games. So now you could be in for close to $1000 worth of upgrades on a game with new display and new sound? I suppose if something is really a keeper, then why not. Is there video somewhere...

That's a really nice room-you must get some interesting acoustics on the games with the ceilings that high.

I did it without taking the playfield all the way out, but it wasn't easy. In retrospect, it would have been better to just disconnect the whole thing and take it apart.

The current season ends at the next playoffs on March 8. Next season starts up on the 23rd after PAPA.

Hmm, might have to look at that golf ball mod for mine. That gofer topper is pretty cool though-the glowing eyes are tied into something on the game (can't remember what), so it has this evil gopher flashing at you from above :)
