If one wants to puke it out, they could use the solo album color scheme.

Quoted from PinballManiac40:You no longer can see the piece of shit. I mean that character, Hanky.

It makes a difference all right.
115 bulbs? It's amazing the time that people spend to make their games look like shit.

Quoted from The_Pump_House:My brothers first pin. Is he infected?
IRL it’s a lot easier to see the ball at the top of the play field than before

He hasn't gone full tits up yet, but looks like it's time for a family intervention.

The sad part about this is the time it takes people to make their games look like shit. Even when I change them out, if they are in the GI, that's an afternoon shot in the ass.
At least I haven't had to place orders for LEDs in a while.

Quoted from CaptainNeo:that question can be asked for nearly every game in this thread.
The dumbest piece of plastic in that game is the car above the pops. I watch closley when my ball is in there to see if I need to nudge if it slips down the left side. That car takes your viewing away from that.
I know this isn't the "plastic shit toy" thread, but why?
I was thinking the other day while driving to work...maybe we are being to hard on these works of art. I mean - do I have the skills to pukify a game as good as some as these are? Maybe it does take a keen eye, an artistic skill, or just deep study. I know I don't have the skills to pull off anything as ugly as that Hurricane the other day.
If I had the time, I could try and take the challenge up to see if I could puke one of my games up. Maybe it isn't as easy as I think it is and we are being to harsh.
Thoughts?
Quoted from dtrimberger:Hate because I'm a sucker for lighting and am pretty sure my Star Trek is a 5 Star Puke contender (I searched the topic pics and don't think I've been called out on here yet, no way I'm letting you folks have at it).
Uhhhh, inject those LEDs into my veins.....
Offer it up and just look at it as construction criticism, or as a coaching opportunity.
Quoted from Saltimbanco:Now, look at that beautiful, gorgeous art on Fathom!!!!! I mean, wow!!!!
So, why being into non-puking: because I don't want to wash out the playfield art, I want to get the original feel of the game, to understand why the colors/effects were chosen in the first place and how everything is suppose to show during game play. I appreciate the piece of art each game is when you first look at it, without even switching it on.
Exactly - If people puke their games, why should the pinball manufacture even bother coloring the pf anyway? Just use black and white drawings as the only color you see with LEDs is the hazy shade of shit.
Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:Just completed surgery on this Twilight Zone. So much better. The middle picture shows the bulbs I pulled out of this. There were over 15... THATS 15, color changing bulbs in this. There were pink, yellow, green, and purple flashers. The inserts were lit with a random assortment of colors... including pink! WTF were they thinking!!![quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Nice job Doctor, looks like this patient is going to pull through.

Quoted from Darscot:Maybe you need to talk to the people organizing your tournaments and leagues. Who gives a shit how good other people are on their own machines. If you guys want to be all hard core in your tournament all the power to you. Every event I have ever been to there is some lunatic raging, throwing a tantrum and beating the shit out of a machine in the tournament room. I have never once thought that seems like fun, quite the opposite actually. If I take my pins to an event I'm going to load up the Color GI just to keep the psychos away.
Well, since you use blues and red to hide imperfect Pfs, maybe no one will want to play your games at an event anyway.

Quoted from frenchmarky:If they just stayed away from blue these wouldn't be quite so horrible (still horrible though), it's like digital cameras can't handle the blue very well and the pics have a blown-out overloaded blue fog that washes out any detail around it. Do they look like that in person too? I've never actually seen one that's been LED'd with the crazy colors with my own eyes.
Yeah, they look just as bad in person.
Quoted from LesManley:I agree and I am not one who likes alternate translights pretty much ever. One thing I am not a fan of though is that black The Shadow font on it, looks out of place. Should have matched the green and white fade colors from the front of the cabinet.
I think I'm going to pick up the one with the green font, which is lifted directly from the Pulps. I think the girls are too. I have a few of the old pulps, and the art is incredible....and I'm not one either that likes alt translights. The other one that most pinsiders have looks cool as a stand alone, but doesn't fit with the art on the pf/cab. Clashes too much.

Quoted from roffels:Sorry to the pinsider that shared this game, but if this doesn't fit in here, I don't know what would.

Love the little blue in the far left outline. Yeah ---makes sense to only put blue in that corner. It's so easy to make a masterpiece.... I guess Michelangelo wasn't the shift after all.
