Man after feeling like POTC has been kicking my arse solidly since I got in December and knowing the ridiculous STDM off launch or round the top orbit had to be the main culprit, I finally found a post from a little while back talking about the upper flipper position. Sure enough 5 mins to correct it and second game after, I'm up over 550K finally, for the first time. Now I can start having some real games instead of <2m . Next step the subway post fix which then finally became noticeable now that I actually can get to a few multballs finally!

Ahh yeah, why would I not follow standard pinball flipper adjustment procedure? Cheers

Yeah great idea. It's a major issue if improperly aligned from the factory as I learned (the long) and hard way. Also one that's a head scratcher till you find out as on other machines the position would be correct.

It's nickname is 'Wife Beater' but dangerous compared to what really lol, Miller Light .

Dark 'n' Stormy's, now there's a drink I can enjoy. You're right, having had a long association with Bermy (Bermuda), I definitely dig that version. Mind you down here in Oz we'd argue Bundaberg Gingerbeer will play Barrett's Gingerbeer on a break. Bundaberg's rum on the other hand I wouldn't make anyone drink by comparison to Gosling's, which ironically is becoming quite easy to find locally believe it or not.

Ahh the Long Island Ice teas you meant, they are essentially all alcohol! I could swear you were referring to Stella's, but now that makes much more sense. If you throw them back -which I agree is easy given the taste, you'll definitely feel it lol, no argument there! I used to drink them as young dude. That's ironic, I remember meeting Harry as a kid in the 80's. My dad knew him and he had some sort of small warehouse of his stage props and stuff near where we used to live in Westchester county and we went and visited him one day.

I finally got around to getting my Hobbit set up with working WIFI and BT. However, in attempting now 4 times to get Beta 4 to download successfully, the machine every time states 'file failed to verify'. Don't know what's going on with the servers JJP are using, it's slow enough as it is, but even more annoying when the file completes D/L only to give that error every time. I even swapped servers to see if it would make a difference, but all that did was make even slower and still fail to verify.. If I knew where to find a copy online(having scoured the web and check the now defunct JJP Newsgroup even), I could D/L, and I happily would give USB a try since generally that's a bit more reliable.

Yeah duh. Lol, I defaulted to my subscribed owners list and jumped on here instead going to dig up the hobbit thread. But also wondering like everyone else wtf POTC will get the wifi update etc seeing as now an older machine even has it..

Yeah for such a big title (even standing beside GNR), it has had the pathetically little done with it's code compared to pretty much all the other JJP titles.

I wrote on their FB post about the episode. I laughed out loud when the bararcade owner said that.
