Ball hits the pf first coming out of the cannon. Has nothing to do with drops.

IDK the update to XMEN seemed to really change things.

I traded mine for sm. Couldn't be happier. Acdc is not for everyone. Sometimes you need to own a game for a while to figure that out.

Well the workday is almost 1/2 over looks like your AC/DC will be walking the plank.
Good luck whit your IM I hope you like it.

We have a IM and AC/DC pro where I work and I never play IM. I really don't care for it. I have a
AC/DC Premium at home and I got to work and pay to play the pro. I play it almost every day then come home and play the Premium that is how much I like AC/DC.

Sure I don't like waiting for the update but I feel it will take this game to the next level of greatness.

What a dick !

Yep.

Yeah. Looks like the "where are you playing pinball this weekend" message is up. Probably won't see code today.

Craig, I'm with you on the joy of goal-based and mode-based pinball. They are my preference, too. I only wish IM had more of it to do. But I get a big enough rush out of building and collecting huge unlimited jackpots (while risking a ball drain), that I like ACDC a lot.

I will say that I enjoy the ability and rules constraints on stacking a variety of modes/multiballs better on IM than on ACDC. Like trying to get the Bogey -> War Machine -> Whiplash stack.

A previous post mentioned stacking Monger on top of Jericho to make Jericho a multiball... I hadn't thought of that before. I guess just get Monger pre-multiball toy-bashing mode qualified after you light up Mark VI, and the center shot starts them both??

You guys have a totally different definition for "one ball game" than I am use to.. Before this thread, people seemed to use it to mean physically difficult. As in, "This game is brutal as hell. Its gobbling balls like crazy with those outlanes set like that. This is definitely a one ball game. You can't count on all three balls lasting long enough to to build up to something big. So you gotta maximize that one good ball when you get it."

Iron Man definitely fits that.

As for op's situation. *shrug* It's your game. I agree with the others: if you're trading because you want a mode heavy based game, you're trading for an anti-mode depth designed game with Iron Man.

IM is awesome.

ACDC hasn't yet clicked for me as not sure what the goals really are.

That said a year or so back, I thought IM kind of sucked as a game, so opinions can change fast!!

For a more goal based game that's still fast and fun I say try SM. Between SM, Tron and IM, I like SM best because of more depth. That being said, IM is still a great game, and Jericho is great.

One thing that did confuse me on IM, is that you have to light all inserts on one ball to start Do or Die, and flashing inserts from previous balls don't count. For instance, you defeat Monger and get SJP so the insert is flashing, then you drain. Next ball you light all the other inserts, so every insert is lit except Monger which is flashing. Do or Die is not available since you didn't play Monger yet. So if you have by some miracle achieved several flashing inserts, you may get lost as to what you need to start for Do or Die.

You don't need three balls to beat this game? Are you playing one with the posts moved all the way in or something? As on factory it would be very hard to get to Jericho or Do or Die regularly, but with the posts in it would be a piece of cake (I've played one with the posts moved in, and it's WAY too easy, lol, I could like improve my average score by 5x to 10x...the first game I ever played was on one like that and I scored 44 million, which would a fantastic score normally but not on a game setup that easy). Getting to do or die on one ball is hard, getting to jericho on one ball is very hard, and getting to do or die multiball on one ball would be almost impossible. Bowen even said he had only gotten 3 of the inserts flashing for Do or Die multiball at one point, not sure if he's completed by now or not. That's why only the Do or Die shot is one ball qualify.

If the progress carried over, the only difference would be is that the Do or Die shot would come up more often, that's it...as it is, it's just an incentive to complete the characters in one ball, nothing else, and doesn't change the other two wizard modes.

I have audits from a game on location set at factory for a year, after 2400 plays the number of Jericho's was....one. The number of do or die's was...one. Seems like quite a few people have problems getting there on three balls, let alone one ball, lol.

In the lower picture, that right sling is (in the picture) just above the cannon. Your statement is flawed as there are no cannon shots to the right sling nor is there a ball drop there.

Send it to the Briney deep!

What lower picture....

What lower picture....

Wow! You really went back and deleted a picture that was counter-productive to your point?

You must be a liberal.

It was the picture below:

Yep, that totally explains it. Thanks for that stunning example of logic.

ROTFLMAO!
I'm just having one of those days where I don't give a shit.

Maybe Clint Eastwood can talk to a empty chair for us.

That's fine with me. I have no party affiliation.

You try too hard.

Can we please never let anything remotely political invade Pinside.

Its out!!!!! better real it back in.

SARCASM!

When? I haven't seen it on the site yet.

It's not out he is just messing with him. I have been checking all day.

Past closing time now.
Looks like a no go.

TF was 8pm

Wow. Someone works late at Stern. Good to hear.

I'm going to change my name from Nevus to Forrest Gump. "I'm not a strong pinball player..."
Therefore, I go much more for things like theme, music, variety of toys and shots.
I Love the ACDC premium. The music is great and the lights and sounds are well synched. I like the little things like the bell sound and the train whistle. So color me easily impressed, I can take it. It's a really fun game for me. Rock on ACDC!

Long live bright flashy things!

X-Men was at 6:45 pm.

You think he will keep it a year??? I'll take that bet, anything shy of 12 months...For sale "IM at the 2013 TPF..."

plank . . . . . . . . Plank . . . . . . . . PLANK . . . . .

Not looking good 6:30 PM CST on a holiday weekend oh well

Craig, "they" do read this !

Trade you a nice safecracker with doors & Topper and over 100 tokens for it since no update.

Way to go Hassell! Now Stern is holding the update just to show you they don't respond to ultimatums. It's the only reasonable explanation for no update for the holiday. All your fault.

Topic started 23 hours ago. Stern is down to their last hour...

Maybe you stated it in this thread but tell me you're getting cash also as part of this trade?

Congrats on the trade. As long as you're happy that's all that matters. You are cordially invited to come over and play mine whenever the upgrade drops.

Oh maybe one or two have left the collection this year, but I have add a few too (Still waiting on my BBB to magicaly appear on the door step)

I wouldn't take the ribbing personal (or you can I guess). Any game will get old, you then either shove it in a corner or move it on to make room for another. I've got my core colleciton that will never leave but they might sit in the warehouse 362 days out of the year.

Mine will always be available to play as well, but seeing as I am 300 miles away.....
But if your ever in the area, feel free to stop by again and say hello.

Good luck with the IM. Buy-sell-trade what you want to play.

One man's Popeye is another man's Medieval Madness.

Well I own acdc and I have played iron man, and I like acdc a lot more. That's not to say I wouldn't own one cause I would. I think you go with what makes you happy and it sounds like acdc doesn't make you happy. It's good to hear you're getting cash also.

Let's not get carried away!!!

Actually know a person that sold his MM and got a super nice Popeye. (Not mentioning names )

Long story short- he got an offer you can't refuse to sell the MM. Shortly after he got a ridiculous price offer to purchase a Popeye. He used a very small % of the MM funds for the Popeye. He gets a kick when he tells with a straight face he sold his MM for a Popeye, when it was really just timing.

I know it is not the funniest joke in the world, but I get a kick out of it.

That's hilarious!

I wonder who he is talking about ?
