Hey, I can paint tits on those fish if needed.

I believe they're called "mermaids" then, if you do...

#7810 8 years ago

This is the only reason I miss my FT, the potential of fish tits

#7811 8 years ago

don't worry. I would not fret FT because of that. I can put tits on anything. You could have alien poker with tits. Indy 500. Congo. You name it, it can be done.

#7812 8 years ago

Lineup changes at East Side Pinball. Game of Thrones & Family Guy have been added to the lineup. Elvis will join the lineup Friday evening. Police Force, Fish Tales, & WrestleMania have left the building!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Cashbox doesn't lie. It was 3rd in earnings last collection again. at .50 a play thats working overtime!

#7815 8 years ago

because it's a great layout and an awesome looking game. The rules are lacking, but for the casual player. They don't care.

#7816 8 years ago

East Side Pinball turns 3 this weekend! Thank you all for supporting me on this adventure! HappyBirthday.pngHappyBirthday.png

Tony can confirm, but I believe WOZ has ruled the roost since he got it.

A few earnings charts on his podcast site:

It's a little surprising since it seems like there is always something broken on WOZ. I know Tony puts in overtime trying to keep that game working correctly. I guess the casual people don't care or more likely even notice though and that is where he makes his money. The players here are not big fans of the game.

#7820 8 years ago
Quoted from LesManley:

the players often seem to complain about the games that many casual pinball people really love.

Definately seems to be very differnet equation for what makes for a good game for a player vs a regular person just looking to have fun with pinball.

#7821 8 years ago

Tony damn you are routing like crazy! GLad to see. I need to make it down soon and come back over Thanks again for letting me get on that TWD when you installed the shaker.

#7823 8 years ago

#7824 8 years ago

It's just like any other game , meaning some people will like it and some won't . I have one and I like it .

#7830 8 years ago
Quoted from trilogybeer:

It seems to be more of an all or nothing game than others though.

I'm in the hate it club. Probably my least favorite DMD era machine, and yes - I mean I'd play X-Files (*shudder*) before it.

Girlfriend'so dream game. I like it since it's super fast. Can't afford one so we play on location.

Lightning flippers on FT yay or nay?

#7833 8 years ago
Quoted from janus:

Lightning flippers on FT yay or nay?

100% YES! It plays perfect with them and regulars make the game boring!

#7834 8 years ago

Agreed. Lightening all the way on ft

#7835 8 years ago

Yes to the lightning flippers .

#7836 8 years ago

Just wanted to let everyone know that the largest location in WI now has 12 games!

www.madisonpinball.com for up to date games list

Stop on out to Schwoegler's on the westside of Madison and check it out. We are proud of the pretty diverse lineup (EM all the way up to brand new KISS and AMH). Especially excited that we are able to provide a game made right in WI, with America's Most Haunted.

Side note that AMH is holding up very well and it appears to be well liked by both players and casual pinballers!

Xfiles? How dare you. FT > Xfiles. FT I can stand playing. Xfiles is torture to have to play all 3 balls. Same can be said for SF2. Horrible DMD's.

Looking to trade or sell my Fireball Classic.

I'm planning on going to milwaukee the on 14th if you want to work something out.

It's there and has a code update for the reset issue. Should be fine now.

I think there's been evidence of resets. Things like the "replay" score aren't at what D and G set it at. (As of 1AM Saturday, anyways)

It did not reset on me though.

The temporary non-public code update to fix the reset issues doesn't seem to hold the settings like it should. There is going to be a public code release fix early this week that will hopefully address all the issues.

Easiest way to avoid a reset is if you ever find yourself choosing a house while the ball is in play...hit the action button right away. If you choose a house fast enough, it will avoid the reset. Too long and the game doesn't know what to do since the ball should not be in play and the game resets.

LOL Thanks Neo

That Police Force playfield signed by Python you restored for us is amazing

Thanks again for the great work!

#7849 8 years ago

Went and played GOT at Morts yesterday. It never reset, but the ball was getting hung up at the top of the orbit at the controlled gate on the left. D & G came out while I was playing and was there to update code and fix that. Fun game. Terrible light show. BLINDING!!!! Hopefully Stern updates/changes that. I really liked the game other than that. I highly recommend going out and putting some plays on it.

#7850 8 years ago

I've put in a few games on GOT, and I agree with John's comments on the lightshow during Winter is Coming and other parts of the game. I would be surprised if Stern doesn't fix it soon though, since it is so annoying and distracting. Otherwise the game itself is interesting, even though I'm still learning the rules. Seems to be that stacking is the way to large points, and the Blackwater multiball is a means to an end - by itself the points are fairly sparse - however, if you bring in a mode along with a multiplier, the points quickly stack up.
