i often get that feedback
now if only the ladies would say it too...

That looks like a good ass-kicking IPA, as well. Love to try some!

I think you should commission Zombie Yeti or Dirty Donny to do a 4 horsemen drawing, then get it tattooed

A 6'er of Fantasy Factory and the 4 Horseman Is an unbeatable combo! That has been my go-to beer lately along with Karben 4 Silk Scorpian. Killer new line-up you have there Flanker!

I've owned my Tron for more than 4 years now. The honeymoon is long over. I also don't rank it at the top of my collection anymore, but I still absolutely love the game. Every time I play it I know why it's a keeper. It just has a wonderful combination of speed, flow, brutality, reward, and fun. Sometimes it feels unfair, and other times the shots just sing. I know some people think Tron gets too much hype, but the game has the ability to make shots matter. How much does the pressure increase as you go? As you start getting through SOS how much more pressure is on every single shot as the insert tree lights up. Is this the game you get back to Portal? And then the game denies your request and forces you to try again. Simple and exquisite.

Totally agree. Whenever I am at a buddy's place that has tron, I put a lot of games on it. So great getting those EOL jackpots way up too. Also just found out about the bank shot off the TRON targets into gem. That is awesome!

Don't forget, double tapping Gem off the plunge is the most satisfying shot you can get on TRON

Yes sir. Absolutely.

Also, the Ram is in da house!!

Try greyjoy and play the Martell house battle first. If you can beat that house you get the add a ball power.

Do you miss your LUCI much Corey? I loved the game but grew a bit fatigued by always going for Hell's Bells as well. I know there are supposedly some other lucrative strategies but never being an owner I stuck to what was tried and true and didn't venture out of Hell's Bells all the time strategy. I think some of the more recent games like TWD and GOT have more interesting and engrossing software. Kind of lowered my opinion of ACDC from being one of the Greatest of all time and a game I was determined to own to just a really good game with a great but fairly one dimensional (song jackpot) risk/reward rule-set. We are getting spoiled with all the great new Stern games and the shift to hand drawn artwork!

I'll never understand why it got as much crazy love as it did...every game listed here is better than ACDC by a good margin.

I just think the sheer depth of that game is pretty awesome. All those hidden song jackpots are really cool and getting a massive jackpot shot is one of the most rewarding things in pinball. I do like the 4 horsemen better though. Duh.

AC/DC got the love because once you understood the rules, it was always fun to play. I hated the art, wasn't a fan of the generic layout, but while playing it, the game had buckets of fun going on. The rules changing with the songs, and I always felt the songs linked up well with the shots. If it had one downside, it was that once you got locked into a strategy for points, the rest of the game got ignored. Some work to even that out in code could have gone a long way.

And that's sort of a big issue.

poor typing.

No my pinball gloves are at home...well there is a back up set in the car.
I wear my typing gloves when on Pinside, true they are the same, but they have diff'rent functions. There's all over the house in diff'rent areas.

are you still liking the Premium over the Pro? I am still trying to decide which version to eventually buy but have not had enough time on the Premium to really know. I think general idea was that the bicycle girl ramp in the prem kills the shot but the walker bombs make up for it?

What do you think now that you have had it for a while?

I'm with you on ACDC. If the right deal came along I'd get one but other recent titles have surpassed it in my mind. I think TWD might be my favorite Stern game now. The rule-set is perfect and the theme just brings you in. I'm fortunate to have a Pro on route near work that I play more than any of my home machines. Probably made Horde over a dozen times now and just love the intensity! Someday I will pick one up for home. Planning to get a GB Pro sometime this summer and probably another Stern Pro like GOT or Met. Can't spend the big money on Premium games as we are expecting a baby any day now and we will be single income family for a few months.

Don't panick, Labnip......TRON is still in his top 4, and nowhere near " the new kid on the block"....not saying the new ones will stale over time ( well maybe they might), but TRON has an "x" factor that simply can't be ignored.

Brutal, unforgiving, and pure frustration at times, but when you get a great game in, is what it is.....stood the test of time, and still stands as a highly sought after title, with an incredible base of owners that will never part w theirs ( me being one).

The perfect combo of IPA and flop sweat.

Ok, forgive me for this. What the hell am I missing with TWD? I've played the pro. I've played the LE. I think I understand the rules fairly well, but the game still never clicks for me. The other 3 games are all great, and I get it. I own two of them, and the third is always welcome. But TWD has never felt good playing. The shots never feel right, and some drains feel cheap to me. So what the hell am I missing with it? I keep hearing people say how great it is and I just feel cold.

do you play it in the wild or had some time in home environments?
Tron is like that for some folks. so-so for them in wild, but in home environment, totally dig it.

TWD is such an ass kicker. Unless you've reached the 200-300 million plateau its hard to appreciate. Once you make that game sing a couple times, it's so hard to walk away from.

I'm working on it flank.

WTF? I'm the mentally challenged guy?

Dang, can I at least be lamp? If not, is Tits McGee available? 3rd choice would be Sex Panther.

I've played the LE in a home environment, but that was before the better code updates. Since then I've played both in the wild, including a bunch of games on a TWD Pro today. I just kept dumping tokens in and it was the same feeling over and over. Eventually I got frustrated by not enjoying it and started playing other games (which all felt much better to me).

I think it is just time I accept that TWD won't click for me.
