    I love all this color puke shaming. Don't let up. We can de-color GI one game at a time. It's the noblest of all goals.

    #395 6 years ago
    Quoted from wayout440:

    Because a lot of people love that crap?

    But it IS crap.

    People doing this to their machines have poor taste and are putting awful aesthetics over playability. These are pinball sins. They should feel bad and they should repent and seek forgiveness.

    #403 6 years ago

    I've had to de-purple several machines I've purchased, which sadly came with an upcharge for the "premium LEDs" in them. Luckily where I'm at, purping isn't very common. I rarely see colored up machines, but there are some serious hotbeds of colored GI pinball machines and I just expect to see them when traveling to those areas.

    Quoted from kvan99:

    Best thing you've said so far sport.......
    Here are a few tastefully lit pins with James' help of pinballbulbs.com as a counterpoint. some UV and blues in the GIs.....god forbid.

    I'm a week and a half late, but HOLY JEEZ THESE ARE HIDEOUS.

    Enough with the UV. Enough with the blue. Enough with the purple. No more.

    #699 6 years ago

    A game that looks like that isn't for play, it's for show. It would be terrible for both.

    I have to laugh at how many "tricked out" games we see posted online that still have the default high scores on them. They literally spend more time putting LEDs and trinkets in than they do playing the things.

    #718 6 years ago

    Most of the arcades I played in were fairly dark, and I prefer to play with the lights off today. I think it's easier to play with the lights on though.

    #754 6 years ago

    Man, here's the deal with the colored LEDs in GI. They look bad. Objectively, they're bad. If you like them, your opinion is wrong. You are wrong in the way that a child's scribble is objectively worse than the Mona Lisa from an artistic perspective. You might like the scribble more, but it doesn't mean that anybody else needs to validate that opinion...because it's objectively wrong.

    #778 6 years ago

    I just want someone to tell me how adding a bunch of color to this would make it any better. The game already has plenty of color in its art and inserts. It's well balanced and it looks good as it was originally created.

    #784 6 years ago
    Quoted from TheLaw:

    I mean at least pick the colors yourself instead of buying kits.

    NiftyLED's kits come with either warm or cool white. Colored GI isn't even an option.

    #787 6 years ago
    Quoted from LesManley:

    Someone did add a bunch of blue LEDs to the white inserts. The rollovers, left ramp inserts and dead end were originally white.

    Hah, you're right.

    #802 6 years ago

    Pretty awful.

    There's no exception. No color GI.

    #804 6 years ago
    Quoted from ajfclark:

    What about a game that ships with it? eg. Space Station's green GI during multiball?

    Oh, that sort of thing is different. That was done with the original art. Like, AC/DC has awesome use of color changing GI, but most of the modding we see is just a disaster and the art was never meant for it.

    #810 6 years ago
    Quoted from phil-lee:

    Price Police. LED Nazis. Everybody wants to be an expert and dictate the way they think things should be. Shaming, pulling the " BS Authority Card" , crowd piling of like minded sycophants.
    To those who illuminate their games they way they see fit, more power to you.

    You're in the wrong thread. Colored GI pinball machines should be shamed so we can get rid of it. It's the worst "mod" out there.

    #855 6 years ago
    Quoted from wayout440:

    And that's not even a real pin, that's a virtual pin. There's no playfield LEDs there.

    I know, and that's his point. Even when you can't swap the playfield LEDs, people are still finding ways to screw everything else up with LEDs.

    #861 6 years ago
    Quoted from CaptainNeo:

    Even if you dont' like andy warhol or Yokos art....the fact still remains, that their art pieces are illuminated with................wait for it.........................WHITE light!!......Holy shit, who would have guessed that paintings are displayed with white warm lights.

    YOU DON'T KNOW!!! Maybe John Youssi draws in a studio illuminated solely by Christmas lights and that's how he wants his art displayed.

    There were some real Light Emitting Disasters posted on Facebook tonight in Pinball for Sale.

    #870 6 years ago

    Nah, my 5-year old boy has better taste than to clown puke our TZ.

    Clown puke harms playability. I was really irritated about this row of pins at Pin-a-Go-Go one year that had all blue GI. I think it was a Dirty Harry, Demolition Man, and one or two others. On top of that, they used black pinballs. You could barely track the ball. It was a total joke. It was obvious that this person favored their crappy aesthetic over play.

    #874 6 years ago
    Quoted from wayout440:

    Like many others have done, I have blue LEDs under my Taxi upper lane plastics. It looks good matched with the blue plastics, and i don't think it destroys the art. "The horror"...

    But, like, it does look worse than white. That's the rub.

    #879 6 years ago
    Quoted from CaptainNeo:

    And yes......JAR......an artist could make a painting or drawing for an art show that creates it with the intent to be displayed with a certain kind of light. But if he is doing that for effect, he is going to be very particular on what color pallet he uses, knowing how it's going to be displayed. It's like, if you are making a painting for black light, you are going to use black light ink.

    Certainly we know better though, right? I mean, I GOTS TO GO BLUE.

    #885 6 years ago

    Nah, let's make this a little more understandable easier to relate to, because the purpers are having a hard time understanding. Colored bulbs in GI are:

    - Socks with sandals
    - Fanny packs
    - Man buns
    - Tucked in hoodies
    - Popped collars
    - Muffler whistles
    - Baby blue leisure suits
    - Singing bass
    - Beer guzzler hats
    - Leopard print pants
    - Checking your Twitter feed during a movie in the theater
    - Crocs
    - Truck nutz

    #928 6 years ago

    Those lighted speakers look like no-class garbage. So do those lighted leg "protectors."

    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.

    #956 6 years ago
    Quoted from mwong168:

    Here is the before pinstadium pic for that STTNG above. If the owner had done a better or proper job of lighting up his game with incandescent or warm/natural white leds he wouldn't need pinstadium lights.

    It's very true. Besides looking terrible, colored GI makes the playfield look far more dark.

    #980 6 years ago
    Quoted from Darscot:

    I can't tell the hyperbole from the sarcasm from the stupidity.

    Hyperbole = when someone says colored GI looks almost good in some cases
    Sarcasm = when someone says colored GI looks good
    Stupidity = when someone says colored GI doesn't look bad

    There ya go.

    #981 6 years ago
    Quoted from Pinstein:

    Since its christmas time here's my leg out the door to the "Bumpus hounds." Check out my awesome Galaxy. Lots of blacklights and a flourescent white ball. Oh the humanity!

    This looks absolutely stupid. Ridiculous that you would even accept that in your home.

    #1005 6 years ago
    Quoted from Colsond3:

    Have you met Barry? If he thought it looked like shit, he would say it looked like shit. I know what the purpose of the thread is, and I'm not one of these clown puke advocates you keep referencing. Bout dat!! (Whatever the hell that improper English means)

    My BSD has a little touch of blue...and the beloved speaker lights everyone is raving...I mean ranting about. LOL. And nooooo! That's not lighted flipper buttons is it? Rip away fellas!!!

    This looks bad and you should feel bad.

    #1011 6 years ago
    Quoted from TheLaw:

    Man whomever said poor BSD suffers the most called that one right

    Usually I'd argue that Bride of Pinbot gets purp'd the most, but man, BSD is making a hard charge for all-time worst.

    #1062 6 years ago

    Poor Bride, she always gets purp'd. I always like how games like this end up in pinball for sale groups and the description always mentions "tasteful" LEDs added.

    We're going to need a thread for these awful high school freshman who just discovered Photoshop custom translites too.

    #1069 6 years ago
    Quoted from kvan99:

    Nothing wrong with that bride....she's a beaut. The game has very little color in it anyway.

    Oh, wait, you don't see all the purple in there? That's really odd...

    #1075 6 years ago

    There's no reason for the off-topic posting to be here. If someone went into another club thread and started intentionally trolling it and causing problems, they'd be ejected right away. Trolling a club thread is childish, lame, and just reeks of someone who has nothing better to do than to intentionally aggravate others.

    #1080 6 years ago
    Quoted from Pinstein:

    I think trolling a hater thread it totally appropriate. The entire premise of this thread is to mock peoples games. You've got to at least give them a chance to respond. No other club threads are meant to mock.

    Nah, tho. It's a club thread.

    Also, people doing this legit deserve the shaming. They not only created these eyesores, they are then trying to sell them and charge extra for their "tasteful" LEDs that they've added. If you wanna purp, purp in secret.

    #1085 6 years ago
    Quoted from Pinstein:

    If you feel your games need to be factory then your a member of the status quo and either just lack creativity or are too afraid you efforts would equal and epic fail. I dont want my blackout to look like every other blackout. I want it to look like MY blackout. If you think Ive insulted the playfield art then your the one thats overly sensitive. Viva la LED's!

    That looks ridiculous. I'm also noticing strong inverse proportional relations between white lights to grammatical errors.

    #1093 6 years ago

    Someone probably bought it to save it, kind of like buying an abused dog so they can give it a better life.

    #1097 6 years ago
    Quoted from Colsond3:

    Can we see a pic of your Tron or AFM?

    I can take a better pic of the AFM later. I don't generally take a lot of pics of my own games...

    #1103 6 years ago
    Quoted from Pinstein:

    How absolutely generic. Which one of your wives holds the current high score?

    Your attempt at humor is sophomoric.

    Also, if you're going to accuse anybody of being generic, maybe pick an avatar and not use the absolute lamest username possible. Maybe try that. Maybe also try not to use the oldest and worn out joke available.

    #1106 6 years ago

    Hey, I caught a vision of how much better my game could look if only I made it POP with color.

    There are lighted flipper bats. Close enough?

    Don't fire cannons in glass houses, dude.

    #1146 6 years ago

    I use LEDs in most my games, but for GI, I will only use white LEDs. I color match inserts. LEDs are great, but putting color where color doesn't belong...that doesn't make the game pop. That makes the game look bad.

    If you're going to sell something, you deserve to have it nitpicked. And that's an outright mess, so it's not even getting nitpicky to criticize the LEDs.

    Don't bring up Pinside rules. You're in a club thread derailing it constantly. See how long you last trolling a club thread about a game. I don't understand why all the purpers are even in here. THIS. THREAD. IS. NOT. FOR. THEM.

    #1268 6 years ago

    Quoted from PoMC:

    Focus. On. Yourself.

    Is that why you're in a thread that has a title that clearly shows that the thread is not for you? It's a club thread. If you don't belong on the club, don't sit in here and get upset about the content

    Focus. On. Yourself.

    #1310 6 years ago
    Quoted from Pinfactory2000:

    I completely agree. Because honestly, watching middle aged men cry about light bulbs is comedy gold!

    I think you have your accusations backwards. We've shown some pics and said, "this looks terrible." Then we've had a flood of apologists come in and cry about our opinions. Then somehow when we've doubled down on our "this looks terrible" statement, they've accused us of crying about bulbs after they've ran to mods and even Robin himself. I mean, what? If you're going to do something stupid to your game, and if you're going to "show off" that stupid decision, you shouldn't be all that surprised when someone calls it out.

    #1374 6 years ago

    I don't mention the LEDs when I buy a clowned game. I just get it home and remove them and replace them with white LEDs. I have a ton of colored bulbs in a tupperware case.

    I'd rather not be able to see the horrible Hook artwork. Fucking makes me sick just seeing it. It really is so queer looking. A man fairy; a guy with a head full of woman's hair wearing an oversized dress showing off his twig legs in stockings; then a buncha damn kids. No

    Quoted from PoMC:

    STFU with the PC Police comments. Seriously. Coupla pansies defending Hook artwork. Jesus Christ.

    Using terms like "queer" or "fairy" as derogatory terms are not acceptable in today's society. Sorry if you're stuck on that caveman mentality vibe, but we're beyond that today. Educate yourself and catch up. You'll be better and happier for it.

    I'm prepared to announce my new product, Universal Translite. While I haven't put "PIN" in front of the product, it is indeed still for pinball. You can use it on ANY game, and you can save big money by not having to get colored bulbs for your backbox. Just use this! $50 and you're set. Best of all, you can use it for any game, like I just said in a previous sentence. Looks so good. For JJP games, please cut out a square.

    Paypal me to get on the order list.

    #1514 6 years ago
    Quoted from Pinfactory2000:

    Your obsessive triggering over light bulbs is simply funny. No scorn or hate in saying that. You make me (and others) giggle.
    I'd gladly say that to you in person. Why wouldn't I? Would you physically attack someone for saying that you bring a smile to the faces of many? Seems like misplaced hostility.
    The person throwing the most anonymous venom into the ether is staring back at you in the mirror.

    Maybe, just like, go away. Everybody would be better for that. All you do is troll, which is against the Pinside TOS anyway. If people were actually crying, you would be reported, but honestly, you're just annoying.

    And the only people that cried to mods were purpers. Imagine that. And you want to accuse people of being overly sensitive.

    #1532 6 years ago
    Quoted from dirkdiggler:

    Quoted from BillySastard:

    irobot & Pinfactory2000 either get a room and puke out a lovechild or take it to PM. You two are nauseating.

    Pinfactory2000 should probably just show himself out or shut up. Going into a club thread and arguing against the sole reason the thread exists is ridiculously lame. How would that do anything but cause friction and derailing?

    Also, the "people should be able do what they want" mantra, despite being a 13-year old kid's slogan after their first exposure to libertarianism, is not being argued against here. What is being done here is exposing the stupid things people are doing with that freedom.

    So if Pinfactory2000 (does he even manufacture pins, or did he back in 2000, or is that a lie?) has an issue with the reason for the thread, maybe he can stop propping up the strawman and leave. Everybody would be happier for it.

    #1647 6 years ago

    This thread isn't about convincing anybody of anything. It's about just laughing at clown puke. There should be no convincing aspect to any of the discussion. The thread never was to argue about anything.

    #1759 6 years ago
    Quoted from ryanwanger:

    So, kind people in this thread, I ask you: would you buy all white kits? I think most of you are comfortable making your own. But, I'd love to be proven wrong.

    When I buy a kit, I only want white GI and then color-matched inserts. Any color in the GI and I'm upset. I usually just make my own kits though. I just decide if I want to go warm or cool white for the GI (depends on the game) and then take stock of the inserts and buy colors to match accordingly. But if I bought a kit and it had colors in the GI, I would be really bothered by that.

    Well, you obviously don't know what it means or you're still just too thick in the skull to understand what the thread is about. Either way, you're ignorant.

    #1933 6 years ago

    First of all, it's the clown puke morons that used the "you're a fascist" response. So your lame meme attempt is not only weak, it's also backwards. But hey, you've already said you won't bother to read the thread, so just jump right in and look stupid. Might as well.

    Quoted from Colsond3:

    Who are you guys kidding in here? This thread has become a joke, even for the people that want to be here.
    Even when I post clown puked games and try to be a part of this thread, there are no upvotes or comments on the post from the 3 or 4 main anti-puke activists. I was in the middle somewhere, but this thread is now just seeming like a waste of time. More bickering than posting pics by anyone involved.
    And back to name calling now? The three or four main members in this thread have proven that they are here to bicker and put people down, not to have a good time and some laughs. And that is bringing nothing positive to the hobby for anyone.

    Cool. You hate posting here. Stop coming into the thread then. What's the point of coming in if you don't like it?

    Oh, and sorry you didn't get likes in some of your posts! That has to be a hard mental burden to carry around day to day.

    #1949 6 years ago
    Quoted from Colsond3:

    I like it, I don't like people like you. It would be an absolute miracle if you weren't so moronic, and had anything constructive or positive to add to pinball in any thread other than minutia, negativity, derogatory comments and non-sequelae.
    Obviously you are always on the offensive, and don't even read my entire posts. I could care less about upvotes. I only mentioned that because those are the posts where I throw up pics of color-bombed games, which I thought was the actual purpose of this thread.
    You are the one not paying attention to the point of this thread, and are instead focusing on the bickering and picking on actual people in the hobby. That's my point. People like you are what's wrong with Pinside.

    Likes to try to use big words, but can't get the phrase "couldn't care less" right.

    And holy jeez, you want to talk about people being a problem on Pinside for inspiring negativity? What do you think of your presence here? What actual point do you have in being here? Who cares if you have posted some restoration tips if you're in here acting like a clown? Just because you know how to solder a wire, it doesn't give you pass to sit and passive aggressively troll a club thread. That's lame and childish, and of course people are going to call you out on it.

    Don't try and act smart if you are going to play dumb at the same time. It doesn't fly.

    #1951 6 years ago
    Quoted from Colsond3:

    My point exactly. Keep insulting people. You're a real Pinside hero.

    Could you be more hypocritical? Go read your own posts and see how clean your hands are. You've already been quoted, so don't bother trying to edit.

    I didn't insult you, anyway. "Act smart" and "play dumb" are common figures of speech. I wouldn't have accused you of being smart anyway, so get over it.

    #1990 6 years ago
    Quoted from RJW:

    I just can't imagine taking the time to put all those LEDs in a game when it doesn't even play properly.

    I see it all the time when I'm called out to do service calls. I worked on an Addams Family that probably had EVERY SINGLE mod available for it, but underneath the playfield wires were hacked together with tape and the swamp was actually blocked off with a cut up credit card and electrical tape. When I asked why they sealed it off, they said, "because when the ball goes in there it doesn't come out." It was a broken switch.

    I'm guessing he ran out of purple. He was going for that super great ALL PURP ALL THE TIME effect, but had to use a couple of greens until his next order comes in.

    #2180 6 years ago

    The bottom line is that NO game benefits in regards to playability by adding in colored GI. It objectively makes it worse, because it's not as bright as the game would be with white GI. Yes, you can play clown puked games, but the actual playing is compromised to some degree.

    #2182 6 years ago
    Quoted from Pinfactory2000:

    So if a game was meant to be a puked dark mess then its totally fine because 'professionals'.
    Point taken.

    Why did you come back? This thread was a million times more enjoyable while you were banned from it. Do you really need to come stir it up again? Go start a pro puke thread if you're so angsty about this one.

    Everybody should just stick to passive aggressive thumbing, like Colsond3 and who-dey, right? Gotta keep it real mature and avoid that childish crap, don't we?

    Lol i find it hilarious that you bring my name up when i haven't even posted anything in this silly thread in forever. If it wasnt for you and like 2 or 3 other people, this useless thread would have been dead the same day that it started because NOBODY cares about it.
    Thanks for putting me in the same group as Colsond though, he's a pretty cool guy and a guy that i don't mind being compared too!

    #2255 6 years ago
    Quoted from Pinfactory2000:

    I sometimes forget how serious pinball is for some people. Please accept my condolences.

    It's not serious. It's just 100% unnecessary to sit and troll threads. Just don't do it. Nobody gets upset, nobody has to get banned. Why act like the little brother doing the "I'm not touching you!" dance around his big brother? Eventually you're going to get slapped.

    You're best just timing out modes until you get to the end of the game. Playing for fun, that's not a fun way to play. Playing competitively, yeah, time them out.

    Quoted from kevmad:

    Can we extend this thread to insert lighting as well as GI lighting?
    For example, can clear or white inserts remain clear/white? Why do people put in purple/pink LEDs in clear inserts???? Just leave them the way they were supposed to be!
    Or do red inserts have to be fluorescent super bright juicy red inserts?

    White should stay white, totally.

    The only time I like a weird insert color is a color-changer in the TZ ? insert on the door. It actually looks pretty dang cool, but it's still a little silly.

    #2457 6 years ago
    Quoted from JodyG:

    In older games, colored LED's can make faded, washed out color inserts look like they are normal again. My Black Knight looked pretty bad until I put matching color LED's under the inserts.

    Matching colored inserts with colored LEDs is fine. I do that all the time. It's crazy when people use LEDs to change their insert colors though.

    Why you guys are at it, drop in the Star Wars Club thread and offer up a real nice, "still going, huh? Not sick of talking Star Wars yet?"
    After that, visit the Total Nuclear Annihilation Club thread and chime in with a helpful, "still going on about the TNA? Can we talk about something else in here yet?"

    If you don't like the thread, leave it. Pretty. Simple. Concept. But I guess you can just keep up with the drive by "this again?" posts or the passive thumbs spamming. That's super cool to do too.

    #2591 6 years ago
    Quoted from PoMC:

    Today I got rid of the awful blue and green GI in Jurassic Park. The entire middle of the playfield was still very dark and the game seems like it needs spotlights in a few area. Instead, I temporarily made "stadium" style light strips for the sides. These are way too bright and they aren't RBG, so no remote for at least brightness controls. But in the meantime I can play the game and see all the shots. This light kit will go into Slugfest and I'll order an LED kit with a remote to install in JP to dim the lights a bit.

    It's gone from Jurassic Dark to Jurassic Park! Good work, man.
