Quoted from mwong168:

I wasn't influenced by anyone's opinion or this thread. Changing the lightning on my games including MM has been on my to do list for a while. I took advantage of Comet's Black Friday sale a few weeks ago and my package finally arrived last Friday.
I am pretty OCD and I like consistency across all my pins in terms of the way they look and play. MM is the only game in my collection with color accented GI. Here are some other pics of my pins where I updated the lightning on.

Warm white or natural white leds for GI only. If it interferes with game play such as flickering or strobing causing you to lose track of the ball then I go back to incandescent bulbs, I don't care how awesome it looks... remember function over form. I wanted to add leds to my TOM's GI to brighten things up but I know jpoop games use a lot of dimming. So I splurged for a GI OCD board and the game not only looks great but plays great as well. Thanks herg for making such an amazing product.

Quoted from irobot:

I don't think this topic has anything at all to do with lighting expertise or a lack of expertise.
Nor does it have any lofty philosophical aspect at all.
It's very simple.
Some people are putting the brightest and most colorful lights they can in their games.
Some people think it looks good and some people think it looks like crap.
The end.
We can all wax philosophic about art and lighting, but the only actual measure of the thing is the appearance of the games.
This whole thread is full of pictures of games that are lit up like a construction site at night and glowing with day-glo purple and pink and red and blue.
Go ahead and and fill 200 pages with internet bicker BS and you're still defending a guy who inexplicably filled an Atlantis translight with bright red LEDs.
The guy put bright red bulbs in an atlantis backbox.
He took a picture and posted it.
Some people think it looks great.
Some think it looks like ass.
The people who think it looks great will call the people who don't like it "haters".
And they'll say that everyone has a right to their own opinion. (Irony!)
And they say that "the haters" are trying to keep them from doing what they want with their own property. (Here we come to kick your door in! Oh no!)
That's it.

Quoted from irobot:

If you are very desperate to get philosophical about this, then consider the following:
What is the guiding philosophical principal behind the clown puke phenomenon?
The general idea is that MORE brightness and MORE color is better.
In actual practice, it takes the following form:
Your TZ translite has a blue area on it, and so you put a bright blue LED behind it to make the whole area glow day-glo blue.
And the blue LED makes Rod Serling's face look greenish.
To me, it looks like the work of a 5 year old.
To you, it makes it "pop".
The end.

the MM posted here looked better before.

My wife is reading this thread.

Quoted from jar155:

Why is this thread filling up with idiots defending the clown puke? It's not a thread for that. It's a club thread. Every post arguing against the main topic is off-topic and all it does is derail the thread.

Quoted from irobot:

Why are people expressing hurt and pain over my opinion of their tacky color bombed day-glo-tastic game?
(BTW- Hurt feelings are a valid form of argument at Oberlin College. Elsewhere, hurt feelings count for nothing.)
Why did they come to a clown puke thread in the first place if their feelings are so delicate?
Why are they complainign about people hating clown puke in a thread devoted to hating clown puke?
Why is everyone bickering over unrelated topics and semantics?

Quoted from irobot:

Thanks for proving my observation that the clown puke posse cannot construct a valid argument.
You post is a combination of ad-hominem and straw man.
Kudos!

Quoted from schudel5:

This is a personal attack.

Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

This thread is so funny!

Quoted from irobot:

I'm going to say this once again:

Quoted from irobot:

"Parachute pants are a style of trousers characterized by the use of nylon, especially ripstop nylon. In the original tight-fitting extraneously zippered style of the late 1970s/early 1980s, parachute referred to the pants' synthetic nylon material. They are typically worn as menswear."
No parachute material, no parachute pants.

Quoted from Colsond3:

I played two games of BSD with Barry Oursler at Pintastic. It was awesome. I remember he commented on the Black Hole next to us, and said he thought it looked excellent. I showed him a pic of my old one and he said that looked great as well. He really liked my blue LED Boston Pinball displays.
What does he know though, right?

Quoted from kvan99:

Don’t listen to them Colson, that Blackhole looks great. It captures the space theme right. The BSD needs a little blue or purple to make it look more gothic.

Are you still cackling with laughter or has it finally died down?

Quoted from cosmokramer:

Wow ...personal attacks on me...why?
You didnt even comprehend the context, the compliment was made years ago in another thread...whats your problem?

Quoted from irobot:

And the other troll was forced to go back over several years of my posts like a loser looking for some way to attack me.

Quoted from Pinfactory2000:

You literally seem like the only person hyperventilating from being offended here.

Quoted from Pinfactory2000:

HORRENDOUS!!!

Quoted from irobot:

I can no longer stand by and watch the international communist conspiracy sap and impurify our precious bodily fluids.
And fill our pinball machines with glowing blobs of senseless color.

Quoted from Pinfactory2000:

Most just seem amused at how much light-bulbs are triggering a grown man.
