Day 132. Still waiting...I sometimes wish I was from dimension C-448 where they have pinball on every street corner that come pre-equipped with beers and bottle openers and all the games are on free play...
And no wrong answers!

Lambs to the cosmic slaughter!
Quoted from Coindork:I think its awesome that modes will be added as code develops etc.
It gives you something to always look forward to and keeps the game fresh.
agreed! It will be awesome if they do an update after each season.
Quoted from guitarded:I am really hoping for a
'I'm Dr. Who in this Bitch!'
callout to sneak up on me, someday.
Then come to 312 olive st!
Quoted from SlightlySnaked:If she calls you a Jerry, ask her "are you gonna keep hating this playa or are you gonna jack my steez?"

Quoted from jonesjb:Nice! How did you get a spot so recently?
Don’t tell estrada, he will get pissed.
Quoted from Manic:2 or 3 weeks ago they still had #94 available. I missed that by a day. Trying to move up the list has become a challenging game in itself. Can't wait.
it amazes me that those complaining they missed out the most never bothered to call around. I think its great that those who persevered and kept calling found what they were looking for!
Quoted from Whysnow:and look whom is first to the down rating
all in hopes to hurt it so he can eventually find one for cheaper
Pathetic and no surprise that this same guy serial stalks and downvotes me.[quoted image]
And here I thought I was special since he does the same to me.
Quoted from FYMF:Need me to toss you a downvote to balance the world?
LMAO, sure. As long as I am the only one.
Quoted from pinheadpierre:Ordinarily, I wouldn't single someone out for their rating behavior and don't mean to pile on gang fashion. This case provides some insight into the many and various ways in which the Pinside rating system is flawed. For one, it illustrates how ratings can be perceived as being or actually weaponized in a foolish attempt to sway opinion and/or value. Of course, there are other gaping shortcomings in the pinside rating/ranking system. The fact that nobody rates with the same weights is problematic. It is also problematic when someone with fairly binary opinions engages with the system. Or when someone makes s*** up just to be a trolling ass. Or when someone rates something overly high to sway public opinion/price or out of an initial flush of temporary enthusiasm. Or when someone rates a game after playing it on location or at someone's house only 10-20 times. Or when users post ratings without explaining their thinking for context. It's a system that was designed, implemented and soldiers on in a broken state.
For these reasons and more, I never take Pinside ratings too seriously. I generally think the top 100 as an overall mix (irrespective of actual order) is pretty solid, though there are some games in the 100-150 range and even an occasional title over 200 that I would personally put in the top 100, though towards the end (80s-90s).
I do think it's interesting to see R&M sitting at an initial spot of #2. I wonder how often a difficult pin (not particularly friendly to beginners or lesser skilled pinheads) with unpolished, incomplete initial code has done this? I've always thought that MM sitting at #1 reflects a popular majority desire for a game with a big fun toy, funny callouts and a risk/reward difficulty level that is forgiving of sloppy play. Personally, I find MM kinda boring since both castle shots are SUPER easy to exploit indefinitely. Just get your timing down for those (especially from the left flipper) and you can play a single game for a really long time. I tend to like games that are fast, tough motherf*****s. Besides the theme, that's ultimately what drew me into R&M. I gambled on it being a fun challenge. So far, that bet seems to have paid well.
For better or for worse, it’s what we have. Even if changes are made, someone will always find ways to game the system.
Quoted from Whysnow:nah, he put it up pretty much immediately after seeing the game popped as #2 on the list.
You can see my screen shot showing "1 hour" in the upper left.
Not sure why you’re surprised or even let it bother you. He has been crying non stop since 12/16. Multiple people have explained to him multiple times the situation. He is just pissed he is in the 500’s. He thought being a previous customer guaranteed him an early game. It’s not like he didn’t get one, he just didn’t get his way. I think that’s what irks me about the complaining. He knew enough to have to join the fang club which means he knew the deal.
Quoted from Propsnsports:I am selling my spot if anyone is interested. I am layed off and i am number 219. Send me a pm or text if interested 4695698895

Sorry to hear that. I fear many of us will be in the same boat soon.
Quoted from estrader:(Edited)
About time his antics got called out. The constant complaining gets old. For someone that doesn’t even have the game, you would think he has unfettered access. All opinions, and not a shred of decency to admit he’s never played it.
Quoted from guitarded:Nice, docQ
That bulb that is just about touching the back of the guide there...
I'd replace that one with one of the Comet Quick Link style bulbs.
It'd add a spot to connet additional lights (if you want it in the future) and keep it from making contact when the rail flexes.
I would be worried about stressing that lamp, socket and connection in that current position.
I thought these were just lenses and the actual LED is a on board below?
Quoted from luvthatapex2:I think they use these RGB leds scott designed for pinball life

Exactly. Thanks!

Quoted from Compy:I’m working on something so mind-blowingly(tm) Innovative(tm) that I absolutely can’t wait to show you. In fact, I would usually have each of you sign an NDA, but this is so innovative that I can’t even formulate what I’m doing into words.

Interested to see where this goes

Quoted from epthegeek:They never work fridays. It’s a monday-Thursday 10 hour days deal.
Gotcha. Thanks!

Ok. I just heard A lionman call out in my game. I literally LOL’ed
Also, big thanks to spooky support for fixing my R&M pc. Even a discontinued and no longer available pc didn’t stop them!

Quoted from Zablon:If they'd be willing to make a plain black cabinet for lower price I'd be in. Most people don't have them spread out all over, they have them packed together to fit more in.
No one does that. What are you talking about?
Quoted from Zablon:Clearly you don't know what I'm talking about, since 2 posts above points to exactly what I'm talking about... (someone snuck a post in the same time I did).
EDIT: Or maybe it went over my head
Sailed clean over.

Quoted from epthegeek:I did add some references to season 5 stuff.
I’m totally going to add “Reset game” though. But then I’ll be tempted to make it like a really tiny chance that it actually hits and you get screwed.
That would be hilarious. Just add a disable feature though.
Quoted from TigerLaw:You could do it Eternal Darkness style…ie a fake game reset. Have the machine act like it totally power down and drains the ball, only to have it say just kidding and gives you another ball.
Eternal Darkness was a game cube game, for those that don’t get the reference. It stunned people with the fake ring of death as a “sanity effect”. It had lots of them to like delete all saved files (heck, we could have one for R&M that is said to delete all high scores. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_Darkness
That game was trippy.
Quoted from epthegeek:It wouldn’t be random - you’d pick which dimension to play, then all players would do the same one. And it being short is part of the point - quick games for score/fun.
Its what keeps me playing one more game. Y’all hit the sweet spot with it that’s for sure. IM was my go to for fast rewarding games prior to R&M.
Quoted from Palmer:I think I bricked my game trying to update code. Did the standard usb stick upgrade. When I power cycled (thumb drive removed), I got a message that said update required. So I powered down and inserted game code thumbtack back in to try the update again. That time it just gave me the audits backed up message. Checked the thumb drive. Installation pkg file was no longer there but audit log files were. Reformatted drive, copied pkg back and tried updating but on power up, I still get audits backed up message. If I try powering up with thumb drive out I get black screen with a blinking cursor top left.
Is there an install image I can roll back to? What have others had to do when they've bricked their games?
Had this happen to me when I tried updating in April. Ended up bricking the computer. I’m going to hold off on the update till we figure out what happened to yours.

Quoted from Zablon:I don't recall exactly when, but yes, it was indeed mentioned by Spooky either after the announcement or after they sold out that the intent was to add newer seasons as they came out. This isn't something that was imagined, or even promised, but it was said. However licenses suck and it is what it is. At least we got what we got, which is more than many licenses.
We got more, just not everything.

Quoted from TigerLaw:R&M is nothing short of phenomenal. I think in another year or two it will basically completely dry up on the used market. Spooky needs to do a sequel game…make Rick & Morty their Elvira / Black Knight style trilogy.
How is the new season of the show? I’m behind the entire season.
It’s got potential. It’s quite a bit different from previous seasons. So far my favorite is the Roy episode with the diehard crossover.
