    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...

    The Daily News! All about the members.

    Playing a bit last night made me realize that for a regular incandescent game, NGG has some great lighting effects. Not just the multiball start and the clever use of the flashers, but the lights in the Hole in One Challenge are all over the place. Maybe not as eye-stabbingly bright as GOT or...

    The OFFICIAL "Hey, I got a new machine" thread

    Nice-I don't think I've ever seen a premium in person. Mustang is a better game than it deserved to be given the theme. Now, try to get up to 6th gear multiball :)

    PAPA 19

    Not sure who all went down to PAPA this year, but I definitely saw a few familiar names in the scores. There's a bunch of archived broadcast on twitch if you're interested in checking it out. I did catch a bit of Whitewater in the finals on Sunday morning, and that thing looked messed up...

    TWD Opinions

    I like it, but I've only played maybe 10-12 games on them, so I can't really form a strong opinion. It's not as strong a first impression as GOT, but I gather that it's a game that has grown in leaps and bounds recently with the code. I'd like to give it another shot, but I don't see it as a...

    Hobbit arrives at Playdium Store

    Have we got any more idea as to when games will be hitting starburst for preorders? It sounds like people are starting to get their games on pinside, but still not word from the locals. It'd be great to know what the production numbers are like-if nothing else that might give us an idea of...

    MAME 101?

    Sounds like an interesting project-is there a good solution out there for gun games yet? I have an old act-labs gun that doesn't work very well, and I haven't heard great things about aimtrack either, although it's been years since I've dug into it.
