What about Total Nuclear Annihilation, is that trademarked? Bonus: cheesy acronym.

Backglass looks awesome in person; muddy screencap doesn't do it justice. For me the art style matches the music perfectly, but to each his own. I think people are going to be impressed when the whole package is revealed.

Sorry pal I can totally deny your opinion. That's how they work.

Disappointing but not surprising that in 2017 so many pinball dudes need to be coached through how they could possibly enjoy a game with a female protagonist.

Zero chance you compare the backglass to the Powerpuff Girls if the character is male. Looks nothing at all like that show. Even "anime" is a stretch.

Anyway, it's too bad you got your hopes up for a Mad Max game (which is also a dream theme of mine) but this is not that game. I don't know how you can say the translite doesn't fit the theme when it's on original theme that someone else created. Whatever he creates is the theme.

Get started on a Mad Max Fury Road pin. If you put Imperator Furiosa on the backglass, I'm a buyer.

Crickets.

There's always one.

Sweet avatar, art guru.

Same!

Silver lining.

I'm envious of how blown away you're going to be, opening that box to play it for the first time. The speed, the music, the lightshow... buckle up.

Rumor has it one of the early games will be on location at Brixie's, which already has a handful of top shelf pins operated & maintained by a collector. And if you like video games, Galloping Ghost, the largest old-school arcade in the USA (maybe the world) is a couple blocks away. About 3.5 hours from Fort Wayne, but at least it's closer than Wisconsin.

When my Tron LE was new it played like the laws of physics don't exist, but eventually it settled down. Great fast games usually play a little crazy fresh out of the box. I consider it a feature.

Today at 5 pm CDT from the Spooky factory.

I don't know if it was the shaker, subwoofer, or (likely) both, but the super spinner thump was UNREAL on Saturday night. I'm not even a fan of shakers, but this was awesome. My whole group laughed at how ridiculous it was every time someone ripped a super spinner. That combined with a hardwood floor suspended over the basement = free foot massage for the whole room.

Been workin' out.

I'm more of a Golden Zach man, aka "Old Rough and Ready."

Great game for people whose basements are usually too short for toppers. TNA beacon fits!

Finally!

I hear sequels are big these days.

Li'l Nukie.

Amazing game for your first time playing it. I might have cracked 2 mil once, but I don't think I've seen the 4th reactor.

Also from 1 to 9 reactors! One reactor battles for dollars are a blast, and level the playing field a bit if you have some novice players in the mix.

You can choose how many reactors it takes to reach Total Nuclear Annihilation. Default setting is all nine. When you reach TNA, you get a bonus and the game effectively ends. If you achieve it before ball 3, plunge any remaining balls and receive the TNA bonus again. So no matter how great you play, one reactor and you're done. The challenge is to maximize one reactor before blowing it (preferably during multiball, with multipliers).

Just thought of something for Scott to implement in his ample free time: timed reactor battles!

Damn, makes me wish I still lived in Des Plaines! Used to stop by Sushi Station all the time.

It was awesome to see high-level TNA competition on the stream. I know a few tricks those sharpshooters haven't learned yet.

Or you guys could just wait.

Was anyone promised they'd receive their game in numerical order? You guys get way too worked up over this number stuff. Even LEs from Stern aren't built and shipped in numerical order. Some dummies request certain numbers, so they dig that # plate out of the box. And you can bet they ship games in whatever order serves their purposes, not in the order people put money down.

I too get a chill down my spine thinking about that much Phish.

Hands down, the best modern game for dollar games.

Decent player and all-around great guy Bowen Kerins will be streaming TNA today, Thursday 2/1 around 10 AM Spooky time (central).

See you in chat?

It's 10 AM on a Thursday, why aren't YOU working?

Sorry, I'm an idiot. It's today. This is happening NOW.

Reactor six destroyed! ...and still going.

Death by airball on reactor eight. Ouch.

Bump for latecomers, stream still running!

Eight going on nine, 10+ million points. Hell of a game to end the stream on.

Sorry, no idea. Coil settings seemed to be default based on the crazy strong slingshots.

Pretty sure I bet 276. Glad to lose!

276 was the phone prefix in my hometown. Just popped into my head. I knew it was a dumb bid, but oh well.

But if I can play "well, actually" in hindsight, I think they're doing batches of 25 internally. They could've built 275 and also count Scott's unnumbered test game. It has a butter cabinet and everything! That counts, right?

I smell a new Scott Danesi Is Awesome t-shirt. If only I knew someone with a shirt printer...

The fact that Bowen has blown reactor 9 at least twice but still can't get enough speaks volumes.

That's exactly how many it took for me on a four-player co-op game. First try, though! Felt so good to plunge out those last two balls for the massive TNA bonus collect.

Wait, the glass comes off?
