cool weekly t-shirt

Hey there guys!
Not as cold as yesterday, so alley is do-able

Beard inspired me so I designed a t-shirt this morning

Life is dead without pinball in it

Perfect plastic after all!

You do realize he was involved and had final approval on the entire game, every step of the way right? Art, music, toys, all of it.

Guess I'll have to take making Alice Cooper happy as a consolation prize.

Best wishes with your project!

I giggled. Pinside ranted about The Hobbits playfield being open and boring. Guess your project is automatically a turd too? LOL (I love TH btw)
I'm hoping I get a nice phat arse video of this thing being run through the paces today!
Ball guides and lower cover flat. No excuse now! Even deaf people enjoy pinball laddy!

The most valuable thing in any workshop; a horizontal flat surface, that's elevated waist high from the ground.

Excellent work guys!

Awesome!

This pin already looks super fun to play and we are not even seeing what the upper playfields do, the coffin inlane, the moving lower playfield and display screen in action...awesome.

Question...will the ufo only drop the ball into the pipe to the lower playfield? Could it be possible to drop the ball early, on the main playfield or the upper playfield? I was thinking of a scenario where when the ufo grabs the ball a quick mini game starts on the screen...maybe a ufo is trying to pick up cows, and you use the flipper buttons to control the ufo and grab the cows or the cow trying to evade capture or something (ufos and cows may have been done already but you get the idea). Then you have to survive the video mode for the ball to make it to the basement.

This pin is really coming together.

Enjoyed this episode, felt like real progress was made. I know that sounds stupid because anything done is moving forward but now we're seeing this "alive".
One thing that I just LOATHE about pinball (nothing about your project just in general) is everything is static. Hit switch x to activate coil Y. I'm not a code monkey so maybe my bitching is about nothing which makes me stupid.... but I yearn to have more dynamic play. Variables ya know? Diverters that randomely guide bails so you never know where it'll pop out, ramps that have the ability to change. Maybe based off of top button push and in the end make the game much more interactive .... maybe harder. I would love to see a Harry Potter pin. My ideas would be so incredible for that game. Ramps changing would be like hogwartz. Implement current tech like the Wii and xbox to detect body motion used in conjunction with magnets "Expelliarmus spell" AND voice recognition for casting spells "example major fortuna" to open a door to enter.
If I had the money and "smarts" I could build the worlds ultimate pin that would have every HP hater frothing at the mouth to own!
Now to get super crazy, Though it would weigh a ridiculous amount, imagine a deeper cabinet with two playfields on a rotisserie engine. A wide body with standard sized playfields sandwiched. Imagine how deep the code could be! (A major bitch to work on of course UNLESS you designed everything to be removed from the topside). Someday I'm going to have enough money to wipe my ass with that I can hire people to make what I want
