I love my Hobbit machine! Had to do quite a bit of tweaking to get it to play the way I prefer, but its awesome. At this point I have seen pretty much the whole game, so I am just awaiting more code before I start hammering away on it more. All good, its a great game as is- just excited to see what else Keith has in store, including adding more Arkenstone modes and music, sounds, mode completion bonuses, etc.

I own a Hobbit LE and think it is awesome and love it !

I actually put NO on the voting results just to prove how stupid it is. I've now tarnished your stats and poll; it is now void and invalid.

The mode lock idea is awesome.. really looking forward to that. Hoping they made each mode more unique with better music, callouts, and lighting effects.. they feel too similar between all of them..

Yeah, I think the objectives are great and differentiate the modes- I guess what I meant is that I was hoping there were more unique music, sounds, and lighting each mode- kind of like the one that flashes the RGB's and others that have unique music- makes it more exciting. Most modes are the same music, lighting and sounds- it would be great if Keith coded more unique 'bling' to identify each mode.

Sorry about your bad luck!

On my machine the 3rd flipper works great for hitting the captive ball/Thorin shot, hitting the roaming Dwarf drop targets, Orc pop up, and using it to kill Smaug during Smaug MB. Also, the Windlance shot of course. I also use it to feed the left flipper after an orbit shot to set up for another ramp shot.

It's not the flipper, its the way you are playing the game. -Steve Jobs
