Re: PS3 Spec Ops II Is that Spec Ops the line? I heard the campaign in that one is interesting, but it sounds like a reasonably run of the mill shooter. I suppose if you're looking for that style of game though, why not go full on Call of Duty? Might be a bigger asshat quotient, but at least...

Yeah, there's some messed up stuff going on with Marvel licenses. Apparently the reason the aliens in Avengers weren't skrulls was that the IP carries with the FF license, which is at Fox. Same with the lack of an Oscorp building. IM3 HAS to be better than Spider-Man 3, right?

Besides, a bunch of the regulars won't bother coming out to loacations that don't have a lot of machines. I hosted with 6 machines, and it went pretty well, although it's certainly stressful when something breaks. My JM still only seems to act up when I have TOPL over. Agreed that more...

Is that confirmed that it's the new War Machine? In the comics, that was basically the suit that Norman Osborn made for the Dark Reign storyline when he was put in charge of national security after the Skrull invasion. Could be that IM3 is going to follow up after Avengers with something...

Neat idea-this is definitely a game I'm planning on keeping an eye out for toys on, especially something to make a good topper. Plenty of X-Men stuff out there though!

+1 on this. I seem to remember that it used to work, but now it appears to go to the correct page, but not the right post.

Tim, if you can't make it out to Ancaster this Monday, then he week after is out in Ajax, which is a bit more of a haul. I manage to make it because I work on that end of the city though, so I just go straight from work if it's an east end night. I'm hosting on the 10th though, so if you want...

As soon as I realized that there was a system in play, rules to the game, and a goal to accomplish. Not sure if it was TAF or T2, but starting around that point I was hooked. It was a great distraction from sucking at Street Fighter in high school. Before that, I'd always gotten a little...

I suppose the premium doesn't change the rules that much then? What's the substitute in Highway to Hell for the under PF? Much better choice than viper though-now you just have to figure out how to best deal with that cannon blocking the right inlane.

I have no idea what we'd do if I had 31 people show up at my house for a league night. That might start to get a little crowded, and with only 7 machines to go around, it could take longer to get through. Just to add my two cents in, there are some really competitive players in TOPL, but...

Chris from Mississauga here. Until 2009, I didn't really know anyone who owned a pinball machine, and didn't know that it was something that was really possible. Then I started going out to ToPL in Dec 2009... Took until Feb of 2010 to buy my first game. Up to 7 now (having sold a few along...

So I guess they didn't end up announcing anything new?

You want new topics to show up in new windows? I usually just ctrl+click on all of the thread icons, but if there was a way to have these show up as diverted links, then they'd automatically load in background tabs (which would be great).

It'll really be full circle when you buy the exact same machine back again...

Re: My first full shop job ... WH20 You should be able to get everything from pinball life. You can also try matching up at Home Depot for common stuff though.

Neat video! Did she ever finish her "as seen on TV" game? I think she's working at Valve now actually-I read something the other day that mentioned her in conjunction with Valve's Hardware Division, which sounds like it's making controllers to start with.

I don't think I've gone more than an hour and a half for a game yet-just about everything has been within the GTA (or at least the extended GTA). Even the Whitewater I bought from Dave Astill I managed to meet halfway at the Orangeville McDonald's, so I didn't have to drive all the way to...

So who ended up winning? I saw the standings link only had something like 28 players in A-weren't there closer to 120 for the last one that Starburst hosted? Part of me kind of hopes that we had more people show up to the tournament at Playdium last summer than to this one. Anyway, I knew I...

Great reply Mike-I didn't know it was quite that involved a changeover. Not sure what you meant there though-you're saying that the post won't line up with the existing nut in the PF? If not, how are you mounting the post (unless you mean actually pulling the t-nut out of the playfield and...

Honestly, I've only played it a few times, and it never really seemed like much. I think you might still be able to get a NIB for a steal though-at this point they probably just want them out of the way.
