Quoted from bobukcat:

It seems like that flipper was just way too strong for any of the up-close shots like that and OCKTOB stand ups. Maybe it's not running the code that dials up the power when the ramp is down and so it was set strong to make sure the ramp shot can be made.

With the new code, the right flipper does need to be lowered down to be same as left, since the game will now boost strength as needed when the ramp is down.

The new code also changes difficulty of outlane saves, the outlane targets turned out to be easier to hit then we thought they would be, so outlane saves were a little too easy to get.

Excited to be there Saturday night.

Seriously, what could be better than playing Oktoberfest in a brewery?

I guess playing Oktoberfest in a brewery while also giving away Oktoberfest T-shirts to those that beat me.

Also have a stein for the Oktoberfest high score champ! As well as an autographed translite for the high score champ on Houdini!

See you Saturday!

Beer was too good to put down, so first game of the night , one handed play, and I already lost a t-shirt as John puts up over 300k one handed

Quoted from cjmjmm2006:

I'm still learning the rules so I got a great score once but was unclear what I did

Scoring is influenced by managing the tach and keeping it up and also around choosing when to use turbo boost, and then making the most of its very short life (easier said than done). Lots of different ways to use Boost (and we did make some rule changes around that on yesterday's code release, now you only get one full boost per gear, after that earned boosts will just increase the tach vs giving 10X tach, shift gears by getting to redline, then you get another chance to earn a full boost). Using boost to build up the value of Track MB or maybe use it before finishing a battle to get a huge fuel bonus and final shot score or maybe start it with a stack of Victory Lap and Loop Crash Multiballs, or start EPIC with multiple features lit and then go for turbo to build up that jackpot, just don't forget to collect it once qualified and before draining or you may end up with an EPIC FAIL!

out of mode music gets more "interesting" as you advance through the race as every couple of race positions it will change with a bigger change about half way through the race.

Quoted from BoJo:

Went down to play and there was people setup with a camera live streaming.

Did you put a quarter on the glass to reserve your spot in line

Quoted from cjmjmm2006:

If you fire Chris, who is gonna brew this delicious beer we love? Ahhhhh, hmmmmm, I think we could figure it out. Bye Christmas! Lol

Chris is an artisan, who makes an excellent brew and I don't think you guys are just going to 'figure it out'. I think you need a plan B.
