    Quoted from Underspin:

    Things I love about April:
    -freaking my wife out about something untrue on April fools day
    -NCAA final four
    -tax returns
    -better weather
    -catching up with friends at PATZ!!!!
    This year's April Fools freakout:
    Background: My kids have been out of school sick a lot this year, plus we had them out the first week because we were on vacation.
    The ruse: I'm mailing an official truancy notice "from the State of Michigan" which will be alerting us that social services has been contacted and needs to determine if we are unfit parents. The mandatory meeting will be scheduled for April 6 and if we don't show a warrant will be issued for our arrest and our children placed into foster care (April 6 is spring break and we will be on vacation)
    Anyone else doing anything for April fools? I want to read some good ones.

    That is definitely evil. Love it.

    Quoted from marcand:

    A week from right now, I know I will be DEAD tired from 3 days of PATZ, but I am looking forward to what comes into my basement.
    I am bringing: Neo Geo 4-slot (yeah, it's a vid, but I need room for more pins) and my F14 Tomcat.
    I'll have photos from all 3 days to post here each night and results from Saturday's auction.
    See you all in UNDER A WEEK!

    CAN'T WAIT...

    Kind of off topic, I have a Yamaha CR-820 and some Boston A150 speakers I was trying to sell, if anyone is interested. The speakers need resealed. The receiver is beautiful. lights work. There is a small, probably cigarette burn on the top, maybe 1/4" dia spot. I have the box and the manual for the receiver. Unfortunately I accidently threw out the styrophone packing. I'd like $250.00 for all. If interested, shoot me a PM for more information. I can bring to PATZ any of the days.

    Also still have the translight glass 36 x 25, fits Pinbot for sure. Asking $20 ea. if anyone is interested. let me know.

    Quoted from Tlamb:

    Any LED vendors going to be at PATZ this year with kits? I have purchased from Cointaker in the past, anyone have alternative suggestions? Thanks!

    Pinball life might be coming, and if so, he will bring your order with him. You could check with them.

I would also like to thank Dayhuff and all of his Auction Helpers, Marcus, Matt, His wonderful wife SuAnn, and anyone else i might have missed. Also Big thanks to all the people who brought games for us to play, to Abel for bringing Dialed In, and Hobbit, and Tilt for Aerosmith and the other games they brought. Awesome games. Also thanks to the Great crew that handled the tournament. I also personally want to thank everyone for their kind words for my on my Joker Poker, that FiNALLY made it through the weekend, it only had 1 minor issue, i blew the fuse for the coils. Only down for a short time, then right back up. It had over 300 plays on it. Also thanks to the other Vendors, Mr Soda Pop, Pinball Life, Dayhuff, and the others that i don't know by name. I also just want to say, i had a great time, playing a ton of games, and for all the people that i met this weekend. Also the people i have met in the past years, that i was able to catch up with. Can't wait to see you all soon.

    Quoted from Tsskinne:

    Sorry was typing while driving last night so had a short reply. The tongue from the Alien mech is currently disabled as the board is being redesigned that controls it. As it was explained to me by heighway it was essentially too sensitive and the tongue mech was coming out at times when it shouldn't risking ball strikes and damaging the mechanism so for right now mine is unplugged as I await the full production replacement board. The targets below the xenomorph head require 8 strikes to start that multiball mode which is called Ambush, after that last strike the magnet will still grab and hold the ball very similar to Sparky on Metallica, the GI goes dark and then you get a radar screen that pops up on the displays telling you what direction they are attacking from and what shots you need to hit. The jackpot shots during this multiball are varied in color as I believe the colors may coordinate to the distance the attackers are from you, but I can't confirm that.
    Each of the games 4 multiballs are started in unique ways.
    -Ambush by bashing the Xenomorph
    -Hypersleep by completing the drop targets on lower right, and then locking balls at the upper left ramp.
    -Sentry Gun (the easiest to start, and the only one you can stack with another multiball) by collecting 1000 ammo (ammo is gained 1x per switch hit, and more for different shots on the playfield, more difficult shot = more ammo)
    -Save Newt by completing 3 life cycles.....egg, facehugger, chest buster, xenomorph....so orbits, followed by vent, followed by the hardest one the chest buster which is just to the right of the right ramp, and then the xeno morph targets.....12 shots to start the multiball. I have only done it 3 times so far, but from what I understand it is worth attempting to build towards this one first as it increases the values of shots and modes for each life cycle completion.
    All film modes, Alien or Aliens, are started by left inlane and right inlane to qualify mode start at rear scoop. Start mode, check out LCD screen and shoot corresponding shots. Find Jonesy has been the hardest for me because it is basically a trap up mode, wait for an orange shot and then hit it, and typically I don't trap up a lot while I play. My favorite mode is drop ship, requires shooting the stand up targets to load your ship and then ramps to progress and eventually scoop to finish.
    Also I have noticed that not many people have caught on to the fact that as you earn weapons....(I believe again by shooting the standups during regular play, but I'm not positive) they light the launch button to activate a "power up" of some sort...things like increase bonus multiplier, double scoring, ball save, 2 xenomorph hits, gives needed shot, etc....Some of those can be very helpful and essentially serve as a ball save if you have a multiball ready to go or something like that.
    Anyway I hope that helps for the next time you come across an Alien machine.

    Thanks for bringing this, it was fun. I'm not the guy who can find all the modes, at least not the first couple of times. The game is beautiful, and I had a great time playing it.
