I'm all for tighter tilts, but the machine should at least give you a danger or two before killing your ball.

[ROM]

I agree - there should at least be dangers.

Sauce, what were your scores on Whirlwind?

[Opto]

I'll throw in my vote for at least 1 or 2 dangers w/ a sensitive tilt bob.

[Dropshot]

plunge and tilt!!!

[Opto]

The Tilt on Pinball Magic has been liberalized.

i like to be able to make one save, i also like to be able to forget about trying bangbacks and deathsaves pretty early. i got frustrated and tried to save on dracula at voodoo2 right in front of one of the riccochet ladies, who kindly asked me not to fuck up their machine (they were much more polite than that, my words). tight tilts are smart because you have to break those habits-- i only got into saving like that because so many machines around town have so many problems, it feels like you have to street fight the machine to keep the ball alive. i'm totally into tight games. i think the most you should be able to get away with is enough of a judicious palm that you can redirect a bouncing ball around the playfield. light touches, and you start to get a lot more subtlety and control.

We put Party Zone and Demolition Man in tonight. We spent almost two full days shopping them out. I hope you guys enjoy them.

Thanks,
Trish

I never wanna shop a Demolition Man again - once was enough. Can't wait to check them out tonight!

[Ricochet]

After a hard weekend of the Slabtown Showdown we fixed all the glitches caused by heavy use.
That was a fun weekend.

Twilight Zone was down due to missing balls.

[Dropshot]

I am assuming Mike knows about the event since he has posted recently and also assuming that someone will be there giving everything a once over.

[Dropshot]

also I guess worse case scenario if one machine is down we only have 11 to play on then

[Kickback]

Not having a floaty, crapshoot like TZ is fine with me.

[Dropshot]

I like TZ, I also think that game needs to be a bit floaty, kinda like Addams I think should have a slight float to it.

[Kickback]

Maybe a root beer float

[ROM]

Yeah, all TZs are a bit floaty. it seems. You just have to accept that, kickback. you too, everybody.

Since we are having such a money hungry tourney it should be noted the he right orbit returns to the top of the right slingshot and is very annoying.

[Dropshot]

On which machine? Also I would like to point out that any event whether you play pinball or do anything costs money. I know people have talked about getting the bigger names out here, well this is how you do it. They travel where the money is. The only way they are going to come out here is if they can a) see their friends (other highly ranked players) b) have a solid format for a tourney c) win their plane ticket money back. We have successfully brought down cayle a few times eden todd, mahaffey came out to play. If we can keep that up they will all start coming. Hopefully Keith can make it in November. He will be impressed, I know it, and then be back for future events and bring everyone else with him. I bet we can get Trent, the Sharpes, Neil everyone else on the west coast up here within 2 years. And if not, well then I give up.

Monster Bash. And wow, sensitive, rachet it back a notch, I'm just trying to be helpful.
