Quoted from Captain_Kirk:

There's nothing wrong with Urban's callouts. Most of them are just fine.

Quoted from Hazoff:

Its very hard for me to disagree with Captain Kirk but I have to in this case, they suck.

I'm going to go with, they are inconsistent. Some of the non-mode ones like the tilt warning are fine, but those PD ones?? Jeez. Horror show.
So back on topic.. I think if custom callouts are going to be done, someone has to take seriously the job of directing the voice talent and ensuring context is captured. I really don't think it was Urban's fault. Hard to know what's needed when you're in that little booth. (Although he IS a pinhead )

If anyone knows where I can get a free car, please pm me.

Quoted from swinks:

rumour in Aus that AMD which is Stern's distributor in Aus is releasing Ghostbusters and Comic spiderman VE this Feb with Gary Stern possibly present

That will be a big day for Bruce. Maybe create some local buzz to help fight the currency problem. I will be there for sure and in the heat of the moment could buy both, lol.

Quoted from oldskool1969:

Dan is the executive producer so I am sure he didn't have any input at all

Exec producer could be anything. It's an ego tag half the time. Watch the credits at the beginning of a Family Guy episode..about 22 producers of some kind listed.

Today's workflow..

1. Unignore Kaneda
2. Save pic of Brenda
3. Reignore Kaneda

Oh, and of course, 4. Speculate on GB. I speculate that I might get one.

Quoted from delt31:

speaking of sales numbers, does stern ever do that so we can see what really sold better than others?

Nope

Quoted from rotordave:

It's the most packed "pro" that I can think of.

Certainly got more going on than SMVE, haha (which I bought).

Could be the greatest pro ever.

#7786 8 years ago
Quoted from rai:

Twofold they'd want a strong pro not a super weak pro since that'd expand

Brilliant point. You need your user base flooded with pros for a successful mod market. Not many collectors bought ACDC pro.

I'm sure the defense is that it's early code,

It's early code.

Quoted from flynnibus:

They listened to most of the complaints and yet pinside says 'meh'. Figures.

Wtf Flynnie? ONE guy said meh. Everyone else is downloading it and installing it.

#17284 7 years ago

So some reward at the end has to change if you choose to timeout through the ladder, surely?

#17337 7 years ago
Quoted from flynnibus:

Tron requires completion to get Portal

LOTR requires completion to get to Valinor

Buuuut..these give you SOS, and DTR & TABA if you don't complete. GB was only giving the complete or nothing option. So, they just have to put in some big wizard mode that equates to Portal or Valinor, and then we are on the same page as these.

#17342 7 years ago

I've crashed it. Replicated with glass off. Hit scoop when lit for video as the skillshot, hit right flipper before your menu choice of which mode you want comes up, it jumps straight to ESP and hangs here...

#17347 7 years ago

I'm not seeing any difference with my slimer registering. That one seems inconsistent. Maybe to do with different solutions people have implemented for the dragging? Dunno, just an idea, wondering why it's inconsistent.
I am seeing the flickering E, though. Seems that's everywhere.

#17349 7 years ago

AVERT YOUR EYES!

I don't know where to post anymore, this is in the other thread too. haha..anyway..

SPOILER ALERT. DCTS vid mode easy beat instructions..










The video mode pays 59,925,000 if you win it. I think it's close to free points. I am beating it four times in five doing the following... Use the stream that is farthest from your target. The streams catch the ghost then drag back towards their side of origin, and catch all the ghosts that appear on the way. If a ghost appears on the left, shoot it with the right stream. All the ghosts that then appear between the target ghost and your stream origin (which is now likely most of them as you have targetted the ghost farthest away on the other side of the screen) get caught automatically as your stream drags its way back to the side you're shooting from. Now, because the OTHER stream is only hitting ghosts a short distance from it, it catches and resets quickly, so you can use it again while the long one is doing its vacuum cleaner act. Some times it goes a little awry, but I've been working on this all evening and it just works time after time. As that first stream is making its way back, use the other as needs be. Just remember, at any time, use the farthest away proton pack that you can. It takes 15 captures to win and you can usually do it with just three, maybe four hits.

And now nobody will want to play ESP now....
