    Its fast isnt it?! It shouldnt do that. Must be out of level. The ball normally lands on right flipper out of bumpers. Dont flip. Just bounce pass to left. I never played ball control until I got ACDC. It will make you pay for sloppy shots. SR raised the bar on my game. His attitude voice and personality are in it.

    How do u get to underworld?

    Gameplay is very similar to Pro. But sound and lights are would of difference I bet. Drop targets make a more satisfying hit.

    Welcome. Like the focus and angles. Start a new thread with them. Add more.

    #56 12 years ago

    Super pics!!! Keep posting

    #57 12 years ago

    Thanks for the pics!

    My "bucket list" has real Texas BBQ on it. Getting down there for a pin expo might be the kicker.

    #58 12 years ago

    It's too bad that the TPF is over in Grapevine. The best Texas BBQ on Earth is in South Dallas, in the Bishop Arts District of Oak Cliff. Lockhart Smoke House. The 2nd best is in a shack in Downtown Garland, on the far East side of Dallas County - Meshack's.

    Both are too far to be realistic options for a quick meal. If any Pinsiders want the full treatment next year, we can arrange that. Lockhart is about 25 minutes from the Hilton.

    Gambit I respectfully disagree.

    Best Texas bbq is in lexington at snows or at coopers in llano.

    Salt lick rounds out the top 3

    I met Black Rose, shared a few games on BIBLE. I also shared some moonshine with Steve Ritchie, good times ! The LE rocks the shiznit. The black and chrome package as well as the cab art and backglass are stunning in person. Not just saying because I ordered that, but it's sweet.

    When are they shipping ?

    Loving AC/dc.

    Pros - flow but still some resting points, music, large variety of shots, devil sound clips, a lot of toys laid out well.

    Cons - hitting the bell leads to sdtm about half the time, tnt drop shots lead to drain on left side and out of 6 games we saw some sticking on the cannon and delay with firing. Anyone else experience this? We thought it was messed up but started working fine again after 3-4 bad ones. Very wiered but worked fine there out.

    Overall - I know I'm probably an outsider on this but I kind of had more fun on TFLE. Still, AC/dc is a must play. Just not sure if the extras are worth the extra cash over a pro.

    #64 12 years ago

    I was at the festival this year. If anyone got a chance to play mm with the color dmd, what did you think about it? I don't see how you could ever go back after playing with that. I hope they come out with one for some of the older games like tz, Creech and taf

    Quoted from McCune:

    Jim

    About 2 weeks they start to ship they were saying.

    If anyone is curious, the serial numbers on BIBLE were #2 and 3.

    There was a Premium in Marcos booth for sale according to them serial #1 for sale $7495. It sold on the floor !! Didn't know premiums were numbered as there was no plaque but it must have been the first one off the line I guess. Alot of extra dough for a number !?!?

    #66 12 years ago

    Thanks for posting all the pictures. Sure would be fun to go one year

    I played a couple games with my wife on it, we both thought it was amazing! It would be tough to play a machine with it and own the same title without it.

    #68 12 years ago

    AC/DC was awesome and that tourney screen was awesome. I thought the lower playfield looked stupid at first since there are no targets or holes to shoot at like Haunted House or Black Hole. Just trying to make loops looked boring but when I played it I found the loops to be challenging and fun. Great flow, cannon worked flawlessly for me, fantastic lighting and great sound but I dunno anything about the rules. I was just shooting whatever was lit. I only got to play it once because there was always a line but I'd love to play it again!

    #69 12 years ago

    Thanks B_R!

    I'm currently having a beer at Lanes & Games in Cambridge, MA. They have a pro model and are getting the LE in a month or so. Really liking the game so far... Though I did really badly.

    Great vids and pics!

    I have a LtbR Le on order, can't wait to get it. You say it is awsome, that is great!!!
    But the next hammer, possible BDK update?
    Next to my SM, I have a BDK at home and it is a keeper for me, also the software could use one more update to make it perfect. But I never thought that would happen.
    That would be birthday and xmas together for me.

    #73 12 years ago

    Here's Gomez play-n some Back in Black Pinball !!

    #74 12 years ago

    That was a Cool Sat-nite !! Gomez is an Great Guy w/ an Awesome Personality. A legend in Pinball 4-sure . I mentioned ALOT of BDK owner's from Pinside.com are wondering if BDK 's Software will ever be Up-dated again , his Exact word's were " Possibly " that's All he said..

    Now to SR about AC/DC , He was Play-n AC/DC and HE Would drain down the middle with a weak shot to the bell, I told him I have a Prem- on Order, He said for me to take the Post on the Rt- off the ramp @ the Bell out & Replace it w/ a Post that will allow for a Thick Sleve.. ( That WILL work ) The ball will bump it and head for the Rt-Flipper.. I had so much FUN and Saw ALOT of Pinsider's
    ( They All Knew I was Black_Rose ) I said the 1 & Only .. I Had a Blast. I installed Led's in 2 Pin's for CoinTaker , Shrek & TSPP . I didn't go by CT's Led chart , I did my Own Creation,, lOOK'd Good too. CT called me @ 5p today ,4p in Texas and said Shrek got a 3rd place Award in the DMD division as Well as the IM that was in the CoinTaker Booth . OOoo Yea !!!

    I kept an eye out for you, but kept missing you. I had a couple of good conversations with Jersey Jack and went to his presentation. Got a peek at some of the playfield artwork there as he played with the zoom on his slides - very impressive. He won my wife over and so I'm ordering the basic pin with shaker tomorrow!

    #83 12 years ago

    Get you some Ruby Slipper's for a Topper.. I'm Sure WOZ is Gonna be a Blast as well..

    #84 12 years ago

    First of, thanks for taking the time to report and film.

    Lots of questions! What was your high score on ACDC? How are sales at Stern? Next Stern Pin? How many pins were there? Did they have an ACDC Pro there?

    #86 12 years ago

    Nice meeting you BR... I was hanging out and I heard someone else go, "Hey, you're Black Rose on pinside - I recognize you from your picture.." so I went and introduced myself as well.

    I also have some video and pictures from the show. I took my new iPad around and got close-up pics of all the playfields and backboxes for most of the machines there. I also videotaped JJP's whole talk, and I got an interview with the P-ROC people I'll be posting soon.. it's being uploaded to YT right now.

    #87 12 years ago

    All you PinHead's are Super Cool in my Book.. I Wish we could ALL get 2-gether like this More often without the Huge Expense of Fly-n & etc... Here's a Video I shot on Sat-nite , The CoinTaker's , Raddroxx an B_R , we Trotted across the street to the Rib Shack to get our Gut Full. Tequilla ,Beer , Rib's, Mushroom's and Ribeye's !! Ummm Good.. On the way back we hit the Festival again , that's when we meet up with SR & Gomez...

    #88 12 years ago

    I wrote alot of Pinsiders Stage names down , I'll get that memo out after i up Load the 13 min

    Next year we should have some sort or Pinside meetup. Even if it's just a designated time to get together somewhere at the hotel so we can put a face with the Pinside name. By the way I had a blast. Playing all the titles you might never get to play and meeting and getting pics made with some of the pinball greats. Loved it!

    #93 12 years ago
    Quoted from Av8:

    How do u get to underworld?

    I would start the Game in " Hell ain't a Bad place to be " Pull the Plunger , Ball get's caught in the Upper Hole as Usual, Then Lower Hell Kick's in ,, Did it 4-me Everytyme.. Also " Hell's Bells" is the Same.. But during the game the U-World start's again.. I got Probably 15 play's on The Prem- ,, 5 on the BiBLE , and 2 on LTBRLE , there Wasn't a Pro in the Building that I saw.. Don't know Why

    #94 12 years ago

    Just got home and unloaded machines. Was kewl meeting and hanging out with you BR. Your good people. Had a blast at the BBQ joint with you and Cointaker Chris and Melissa. My abs are still sore from all the laughter we had that night. Give me my okra. And that ain't a 3 knuckle tequila. Also, someone made an offer I couldn't refuse for my pimped out Ironman, so it has a new home. Till we meet again, take care and watch out for those Amazon women.

    Interesting!

    My theory on no Pro is that the Pro plays better because the drop targets deaden the ball and slow it down but perhaps better keep that a secret

    As a Newbie on the Pin, My Highest Score on the Premium wasn't over 15 mil.. I'll improve in Tyme

    #97 12 years ago

    Nice to meet you BR. *I recognized him with out the viking helmet.
    And always good to bump into raddroxx at this show. Texas people rock and this show is worth the journey for me.

    Clint, gambit3113. What happen to you? I'm sorry we missed on another.

    #98 12 years ago

    New guy here...

    Anyways nice to meet you finally BR and the show was fun. Half the time I spent looking for a line to get in and the other half I spent standing in line... My highest on ACDC was 39mil, but not good enough for the tournament which sucked, but whatever.

    #99 12 years ago

    Tough weekend. I ended up with some kind of awful stomach bug or food poisoning, and vomited violently all night Thursday and Friday morning. Poor Brian Saunders came to deliver my TRON LE and BDK and pick up AFM and LOTR that morning, after driving all night from Illinois to Dallas, and there I was feeling puny and awful. He had to do 80% of the work, and I just left them stood up and wrapped until Saturday morning.

    I made it to the show on Saturday for the Jersey Jack talk and about 30 minutes of walk around. I met B_R, just because I went over to buy the Super LED kits for TRON and BDK. I looked around for anyone else, but was too sick and weak still to be of any use. Played one game of AC/DC BIBLE and went home.

    Got out Sunday and had a chance to play some games and meet some people. Kept my eye out for you, Kim, but didn't come across you at any point.
