Unforgiven i believe.

it's Seek and Destroy during the Match phase and then Unforgiven during Game Over.

this is my fav game and fav way to spend time with my clothes on. I got a tattoo of mine on my shoulder.

let me introduce you to a little hobby called pinball

a cpl MET items:

mcsirtuna, of Buffalo Pinball, had me over and we streamed his beautiful metallica premium on thanksgiving night, here's the video. it was my first time on camera on the interwebs, was fun and i didn't choke on the game that's on my arm

also:
vote for me if you think i deserve it. if i win I'm selling for discounted price and donating half to pinball charities:

I'm the one with the Metallica tattoo on his shoulder. I got it without even knowing about a contest in early Sep this year.

Happy Thanksgiving, don't buy too much garbage over the next cpl days, save for Star Wars

looks grea kawydud. when willing to solder and reconfigure, almost anything is possible. in my experience, too many pinheads mistakenly think that prem/Le's are harder to customize.

the one thing i will say, that is potentially faster and easier is to simply cram some colored tissue paper under the in the underside of the insert under pf (i made my well walker insert on my twdle a green color and the blood bath insert, you guessed it, red with about 2-3 mins of effort. I've done both soldering and tissue paper depending on the application and my effort level at the time.

good call, I use electrical tape liberally under my pf's to prevent bleed from one insert/flasher to another. It's the little things...

i haven't checked the standings a single time yet. i don't like how it's a popularity contest. I think with exclusively sterns including a bm66le otw (excluding RZ, which i'll have eventually) decked to the 9's like very few others, along with a tattoo, plus attending 3-4 conventions a year and running Atlanta's only weekly league that i deserve it. if you agree please vote for me. I'm Kevin Grillo with the Metallica tattoo. i will select a batman premium, sell it at a more than fair discount NIB, donate half proceeds to pinball charities and keep half. (got divorced this year... yikes)

only own Sterns, 2nd/3rd hand. i get my fix on other eras and machines of all sizes and shapes from a solid home base of collectors in ATL... (as well as conventions) because we certainly have nothing on location here in ATL.

i'm aware of 2

and they do stack for 4x (that's how you get "jack-Fing pot" on sparky for instance)

1) FUEL piston target when lit (the spider arrow) gives 2x

2) during any multi-ball, hit the four pick targets (can carry lit targets into the mode) then hit into snakes mouth. snake must eat ball. he holds it on prem/le and spits it back out on pro

ramp/orbit combos don't multiply but they do amplify/increment during live combos.

i'll take a pic for you tmrw if you haven't been assisted yet. i added them to my pro. took two tries because my subwoofer was in the way the first time

I'll be damned. Thanks for the (snake)heads-up!

i have a custom sparky from a non pinball artist. he only asked for $80. I gave him $200.

i recommend this order:
local artist> modfather > dd

warning- maybe it was just me, but removing and reinstalling is still the single hardest thing i've done on a machine. some very tricky screwdriver/nutdriver angles.

This. I use beer seal in combination with thin adhesive felt fabric. I was once complimented on how "tight and solid" my games feel. True story. Seriously though it is worth a cpl bucks and minutes to tighten up your lock down bars- it just feels way better when playing.

drop target assembly order of parts, e-clip, washers, rod, spring help needed, badly.

She did- but it seems like you typed more in my post? Thanks x2. Hoping to post again in a few hours with a success

Points come from two places. 2x/4x scoring during (any) marathon fluke multiballs. Or most likely during calm successful CIU's with jackpot cash outs with a 2x multiplier. It's not immediately clear if you're jackpot cash out is worth 1x or 2x, something Lyman should address... unless I'm mistaken.

Positive soapbox for a moment:
Still my fav game and pinball experience, still nothing even close. I've been playing a ton of GOT and getting to iron throne with regularity. GOT is a great game- but it doesn't even register on the same scale as CIU, S&D, Blackened, intensity...

Early on, I ruined chances at EOTL by accidentally starting S&D during multiballs. If you want EOTL, you have to be extremely methodical, tactical, and careful. Like Sparky says... you may end up timing out hurry ups on purpose if CIU and ultimately EOTL is your goal.

Haha you too? She haunts us. It's crazy how many times I've seen that 100k lady justice.

All this coffin mod talk. I like mine the best, but I'm biased lol. It's back alley creations eyeball pinballs, yellow tissue paper, orange flasher, red flasher all contained in mezelmods coffin.

Flashes:
Orange for hurry up
Red for captive ball

Also, $14.00, 20-30 minute mod, green and black t-molding for the backbox.

To replace the stock chrome which doesn't fit the color scheme of the pros and premiums.

Bandit, will the EL wire be interactive? (I haven't been following much lately)

Are you a serious (methodical, ctrl ball, plan shots in advance) or casual (see ball, smack ball) player? If you're more casual you won't notice much difference. If you're more serious then update, there are vital subtle changes to item collecting, combo scoring and some minor bug fixes.

Always set it however you will get the most enjoyment out of your multi thousand dollar toy. Never worry about others. Lyman, Dwight, etc are geniuses but they don't know the appropriate default skill level for everyone, that's why many things are adjustable in settings. I typically stay full factory, but I will sometimes changes things to mix it up and see some modes more frequently. A simple open of the coin door and a few button presses and off you go.

Double triple quadruple confirming: end of the line is the 5th crank it up. 15 of each item for first CIU, 20 of each for second CIU, etc.

If you get there on factory settings with with a reasonable tilt bob you're very good at this game. End of the line will never happen on accident.

If you want to get there, you should be attempting to light and collect your CIU jackpots asap during your CIU.

When you start CIU, you need one of each "pure" direct hit on each of the four items to light CIU jackpot at the scoop to collect and exit and return to normal play (and collecting more items). Tip: when you first start your CIU, utilize the ball save for whatever item shot gives you the most trouble. My Sparky magnet and graveyard crosses can be brutal drains on successful hits so I start them during ball save if possible and then proceed to the coffin and snake. Additionally- plan ahead: does your snake give a good feed to left flipper? If so, hit it last then gather ball on left flipper for an attempt at the CIU jackpot exit.

And if you're still having trouble... just get a tattoo of your MET on your arm. Lol. I got to EOTL a week or two after I got my tat lol.

HSTD reset count. Factory default is 2000 games. After 2000 plays all high scores reset except grand champion

Correct. It's the coil stop. Stock up if you have a lot of sterns:

http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=274

Correct. It's in the "game" adjustments. Default kick out. Can change to hold like on a Prem/LE

Throwing another perspective into the mix. MET is my fav pin by a long shot. But there is room for plenty of others by both Borg/Sheats and their buddies. That said, so far I dislike AErosmith pin. I've played a pro model quite a bit to form an opinion. TWD, GOT I disliked early on yet both grew on me greatly (to the point of ownership) as I wanted to play them again. With AS I don't even want to play it again. It's like Avatar, Acdc, wwe, mustang to me. Those are games I simply don't want to play ever again. Something feels sloppy about it. And I dislike the jester call outs, super annoying to me. Borg makes my fav games for the most part, but AS not only looks like KISS but feels like it too. Looking forward to his next game.

There are several settings changes. Don’t accept the defaults if they are not fun for you. I’m a great player and have gotten EOTL once- but indeed the game, and all pinball, can be brutal. Change so it’s fun for you. Adjustments are way too often overlooked. Modern Stern Pinball is not set it and forget it. Don’t accept the programmers’ attempt to hit a sweet spot on earnings/challenge/amateur/casual/pro.

Blackened, Seek, multiple CIUs aren’t common for average player. Make them more common by fine tuning adjustments.

Outlanes and tilt bobs aren’t the only adjustments.

I’ve currently got mine setup very easy and enjoying getting thru most of the game nearly every time.

And yes, adjustments or not, this is still by far the best pinball machine ever.
