    Johnny Mnemonic hand-periodic data glove error

    So this problem seemed to go away for quite a while after the last time I disassembled/cleaned the glove mech, but I just ran into it again this morning, and it was slightly different than before. I can't be completely sure of what happened because I wasn't actively looking for it, but I think...

    PBREV, I need your support! (again)

    Good idea-would also be a good chance to try out that new match play software.

    WTB Anyone ready to let go of their Metallica?

    Either that or the dollar being in the toilet. That's getting way out of hand...

    WPC test report "Error" pics please!

    A couple more for you-evidently you can generate these if you open the coin door on JM while it's doing the self test :)

    FS "Not Mine" Pinball Machines For Sale

    I think t2 is a simpler game than t3. Both are fun, but I think that given the choice, I'd get a T3 instead.

    Barenaked Ladies new SILVERBALL album coming June 2, 2015

    Great to see-I'd heard that Ed was a pinball guy. Been a fan of these guys since early on when the demo tapes were being traded around my high school, so nice to see that they're still making music. Really fun live shows too.

    Google Maps Pac-Man

    Looks like this is one of the Google April Fool's "jokes" for the year? Go to google maps, find a location, and then click the pac-man button in the bottom left. It'll then create a maze based on the roads that are visible. It doesn't work everywhere, but it's a fun idea at least. :)

    Heighway Pinball Production Update

    Great to see them getting games built. Did they ever change up the backbox design to incorporate a second LCD for spectators, or is that planned for the next game? Anyone here getting one?

    TZ Custom sideboard decals

    Just saw this on pinside-the guy who did those really nice TSPP decals is doing a TZ set. The Simpsons ones are great, and I like the look of these ones too. Still waiting to see how they look installed in a game, and installing them in a TZ is going to be a bitch, but I'd probably be in for a...

    MMR unboxings so far

    So what's the actual story with the colorized displays? I thought that the deal was that it was a single colour LCD for now, but that they'd support a full colour ROM down the line-is that still the case? I figured that with the production delays that there'd be time to finish the new ROM for...

    WTB AC/DC Pro or Star Trek Pro

    Probably not different vehicles, but definitely a little dismantling in place. For a project game it might work, but likely not for a NIB.

    Skit-B Sh*t Storm

    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...

    WTB AC/DC Pro or Star Trek Pro

    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?
  14. Chris Bardon

    WTB AC/DC Pro or Star Trek Pro

    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...

    How to join TOPL

    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...

    ColorDMD's next game is... Monopoly

    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...

    ColorDMD's next game is... Monopoly

    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...

    Skit-B Sh*t Storm

    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...

    What’s the score with women’s tournaments?

    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...

    Skit-B Sh*t Storm

    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?
