    Quoted from RJW:

    No, that troll follows him around down voting his posts regardless of the content.
    Pretty immature.

    Ah, I've seen that as well. I eventually changed to the setting to only show up votes. It's so weird you post something generic and get random downvotes.

    Down votes are one thing, following you is another. Obsessively following someone should be an offense worth banning.

    Stems back to me calling out some Stern shills regarding ongoing production quality issues. One of them actually donated $50 to pinside after he found out that the "information" he posted was completely incorrect!

    Had no desire to start a feud with these people, just didn't like seeing obviously false claims being posted and encouraging others to spend lots of hard earned dollars on products with known issues. So they've branded me a Stern hater, even though I actually love Stern, own TWD, AC/DC and LOTR, have owned T3, XMLE, WPT and would love to add TSPP and MET at some point.

    Sorry for the slight derail, lets get back to colour GI fails!

    Down votes in general don't bother me at all. I'm sure I deserve my fair share of them. Its the weird stalker ones that kind of give me the creeps. When you get one for the most mundane things and see that same icon. That is why I turned it off.

    it's kind of like having a little dung beetle familiar companion. I had one too, but he took his ball and bat and went home.

    Quoted from kevmad:

    (I am one of the few remaining old-school incandescent bulb fans).

    I used to be but I have a new found love for pure white and warm white LEDs. I know many talk about the "warm glow" of an incandescent bulbs. But these tired old bulbs and somewhat lower voltage result in a yellowed color that doesn't do much of the original artwork colors justice.

    I could not believe how much better and how much more colorful my STTNG translite looked after using bright white LEDs.

    But absolutely NO colored GI for this kid!

    I have long hated the use of Colored LEDs for GI. But some of these photos are just beyond belief! There must be many people with major color deficiency.

    Hell, even before LEDs got popular, some we're using the color dipped #44s for general GI. Yuk!

    #121 6 years ago
    Quoted from RJW:

    I find the worst part about color GI is, people put how it looks ahead of how it plays.
    We played a BSD in our league with the blue GI treatment and the owner doubled down by adding blue flipper bats.
    It just looked awful, was almost impossible to see the ball and the blue GI almost made the flipper bats disappear into the art work in a big blue mess.
    Mitch I never saw your Congo done up with green GI, good thing you changed it or I don't think we could've been friends

    I know exactly to which game you're referring! BSD is one of my favourite games... but this one was no joy to play whatsoever. It was a mess.

    How much colour you add, what colours you add... it's all a matter of taste. (It's like clothing. People wear what they think looks good). But if it interferes with gameplay I won't like it.

    #122 6 years ago
    Quoted from CactusJack:

    Is it acceptable to down vote any posted opinion we disagree with?
    FYI, did you know the Human eye can't really focus on blue light?

    This is so true. Things look blurry, edges are hard to see in blue light.

    Quoted from jwilson:

    Another fun thing about LEDs in GI is that awesome 60Hz flicker you get!

    This just adds insult to injury. I spend so much time stripping LEDs out of games I buy. I have a small container of them. Flicker, and ghosting - that's what makes a game look the worst.

    #123 6 years ago

    blue is one of the hardest colors for me to color match when Doing playfields. And my cable box has the clock in Blue LED. It's impossible to read ever. Just looks like a light shitmess.

    You are about funny dude. I think you are giving me way to much credit if you think I have the ability to get someone to buy a game, that’s probably the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard anyone say. Now why don’t you tell these people the truth about how you love downvoting every one of my posts for no good reason other than the fact that you don’t like me. I can guarantee you that you have given me far more downvotes than I have given you and yeah you downvote me for no reason constantly. I’ll make you a deal, you stop the games and I will too ok? If you don’t want to do that though we will play all the games that you want to. You started this not me.

    nope it's a major fail. Black hole is hard enough to see even with the brightest whites you can find. Adding a color, making visibility about 0%

    Lol its OK I knew you wouldn't like it. You'd like my other games though. I play with the lights on almost always so I've ever had a problem seeing the ball or heard any complaints from others.

    btw they are comet frosted comfort brights, I don't know if that makes it worse because they aren't as bright, or better because they don't blind you as bad hahahaha, but thats what they are.

    #129 6 years ago

    Your black hole would be epic with flourescent white pinballs.

    Quoted from dothedoo:

    So is that your Pharoah? Where did you get the glass? It's awesome.

    It's not just the glass..the playfield has the mummified skull on it too. I'm dying to know WTF that is...if it's custom or what.. someone track that thing down!

    Put color changer LEDs in ALL the sockets!

    Quoted from Crash:

    Put color changer LEDs in ALL the sockets!

    IF they weren't so expensive, that would be a very interesting test! One of the LED suppliers should do it as a Joke at the next show they sell at. Maybe a Centaur since its basically Black and white.

    Dude I'd love to see that. Do the inserts too!

    Someone needs to check this with a UV meter. If you can grow nice healthy African Violets under that glass the reds will be pink next year.
