Quoted from jfh:

Played DI for the first time today.
I still don't like the name, but it's certainly not "the cell phone game". The actual game is 180 degrees from my original (very unfavorable) impression that from the original announce. Easy in that it's not a drain monster, deep enough so collectors won't get board but (apparently) not so deep that an average player could never finish.
Love the ramps and most of the shots. It's absolutely a Lawlor design and I really like what I saw of Ted's code. The game feels like a modern throwback to the early nineties (as crazy as that sounds) - it feels like a classic WMS game. I really dislike the title and the dude holding the phone featured so prominently and really need to play the game in a setting where I can hear the audio, but it's a game that is now on my "seriously consider list".
At the Denver show today the two DI games had lines all day long. The only other game that came close was Batman 66.
I think JJP has a hit and that DI will do far better than the Hobbit did in sales and longevity.

Haven't had a chance to play it at the show yet but the game looks really fun. Man did they swing and miss on that name. I wrote it off as cell phone game but looking at it in person it's great.

chipped at the SIM card drop

That looks like a Cliffy opportunity.

Buy a variety pack from titan and you'll have rubbers on hand at all times...practice safe pinball. I keep a dozen or so of each size for shop jobs anyway

#487 6 years ago
Quoted from PinMonk:

Titans have less bounce than white rubber

You sure? I popped white titans on all my EM's and they had noticeably MORE bounce...

What price does he have? I haven't seen anything other than list anywhere...

Quoted from pindude80:

turn down the upper right flipper power to help prevent this from happening?

Can you fit a piece of mylar in the area until Cliffy makes something maybe?

#790 6 years ago
Quoted from clg:

It is a pain to remove.

Wax the area first and the mylar I use comes up easy on modern playfield...this is not some glued down mess. It's more like a colorform (if you are over 40 you'll get the reference).

"rad-cals" should be standard on an $8k plus game

Quoted from bigd1979:

Sld cancel everything and just buy used machines like i use to.....

Get that 1 year old machine that has all the kinks and early run fixes sorted out and you also save hundreds or more...makes sense. The next greatest game is exciting but when you step back and take a breath, what's the difference if you buy the game now or in a year? It plays the same, if not better!

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

top spot now for flow

Full Throttle

#987 6 years ago
Quoted from Skyemont:

not even close.

Not even close!!?? Really? You know the definition of "close" correct? I'm guessing that's hyperbole. DI must have been made in some magical realm of pinball flow then because anybody that owns a "dialed in" (pun intended!!) Full Throttle will tell you it's head and shoulders above in that category. If you've played it at a show or whatever you likely didn't get the full effect of a proper setup.

Virtually every shot, except the race hole, feeds a flipper at light speed.

Nothing against DI, I'm hoping to pick one up eventually....but "not even close"!? Let's show some intellectual honesty.

#989 6 years ago
Quoted from Skyemont:

old school feeling and it's not there with Full Throttle

That's cool. That's different than flow though. I can't imagine how you could get more flow than Full Throttle so saying it's "not even close" is a bit bonkers to me. TOTAN was my winner for flow until I got a Full Throttle. To be fair, I don't own DI so I haven't spent a lot of time on it and maybe it is somehow way better. I just can't fathom that it's "not even close" .

DI does have a B/W vibe to it. My plan is to grab one Fall 2018 when one of you guys gets sick of it.

BTW, if you don't want to explain why you have these feelings for pinball machines, why are you posting them on an internet pinball discussion forum for all eternity?

#991 6 years ago
Quoted from Skyemont:

Because this is a Dialed In thread not Full Throttle

you started the "flow challenge"

#1016 6 years ago
Quoted from PinMonk:

it's the optional flash accessory

nope. It's the flow-amplifier. So, THAT'S the secret to DI's incredible flow! Another mystery solved.

Quoted from jar155:

Anybody ever have any luck getting refunds for later than scheduled expedited freight shipping? I feel like they should have to compensate for that somehow.

Ha! Apologies for anyone in the freight business here, but none of the companies seem to give a shit if you have a problem. An insurance claim is one thing, but delivery changes or any "customer service" needs and it's a joke. As for late deliveries, I'd just be happy they got it there(my last game was 5 hours late I think). NAVL has been pretty good.

I've been in a year long battle with YRC shipping--they re-weighed a 120 pound crate I shipped and came up with 750 pounds(!!!) and despite all sorts of documentation proving otherwise they sent it to collections when I said I wasn't paying for the phantom weight! 750! Like I own a fork truck at my house. A-holes.
