    I hate when people say “Mod” when they mean “Decorate”.

    If you aren’t saying you modded your Christmas tree, stop saying you modded your pinball machine.

    Both the Soprano's and Game of Thrones were a complete waste of time. People only watched because of FOMO.

    Three down votes. I’m winning at unpopular opinions!

    Quoted from MacGruber:

    Putting mylar in your shooter lane isn't going to save shit so quit using it as a selling point in your 15k for sale ad!

    Taking this a step further: Making a stink about having a pristine shooter lane, when compared to any other part of the game, it makes the least difference.

    Quoted from rotordave:

    That started as a joke about 10 years ago.
    Funny to watch it become “an actual thing” that people do these days.
    When I’m buying a game, I doubt I’ve ever looked at the shooter lane. Least of anyone’s problems!
    rd

    Almost every ad for a HUO machine has a zoomed in picture of the shooter lane. I never understood it.

    The Jurassic Park home pin is a really fun game.

    Quoted from jandrea95:

    Squid Games is a shitty show and terribly overrated.

    Ohhh that deserves a down vote. Good one!

    Quoted from OriginalFresh:

    This is the second weekend in a row that I have tried to enjoy Godzilla and it is not clicking with me. Played it at a couple different locations just to see if it was set up differently…. Not fun at either location.

    Games are weird. Hated AIQ the first 10 or so times I played it. Now I’m really into it

    most of the events in the winter olympics are boring as hell.

    Curling should be a prime time sporting event.

    Quoted from AntennaMan:

    It could be made even more interesting if each team was required to consist of ex-spouses.

    It would be more interesting if each team were litigants in small claims court, and the match determined the verdict.

    Quoted from Daditude:

    I have played routed games that were immaculate and HUO games that were trashed.
    It all depends on how good they look currently.

    #Truth

    I picked up a routed GOTG pro that was filthy. A little novus 2 and it looks and plays as good as new save for standard dimpling. New Stern playfields hold up better than they are often given credit for.

    Modern Family is just Arrested Development for the less intelligent.

    They should never have brought back arrested development. The netflix episodes were rough to watch

    Playing pinball with the sound off helps make you a better player.

    The Hawkeye challenge shot on AIQ is a little tougher without sound

    I think all of my downvotes are from this thread because I made fun of game of thrones.

    Quoted from astro_judge:

    Now I'm curious, though.. which shots do you remove from each Elwin game?
    IM - Super Jackpot dead-end? The double loops are too central to the game, so the small one has gotta stay
    JP - One of the side flipper shots? The Helipad? Don't have as much experience with this game, to be honest
    AIQ - Likely something on the right side: Captain Marvel or Ant-Man?
    GZ - Godzilla Wallop / Reverse Building shot. Likely a necessary evil due to the Building and Magna-Grab design, but it doesn't really cramp the playfield much. This one feels too easy -- especially since the game barely even considers it a "shot" already

    AIQ - Remove the lockdown bar button. It's the most confusing implementation of any game. I never know when to use it.

    DP - Boom button - Makes sense
    GOTG - Hadron Enforcer - Makes sense
    TMNT - Pizza Eating Contest - Makes sense
    AIQ - I must have slept through the class required to make sense of it. WTF

    I played it on location yesterday and it always leaves me scratching my head why people go nuts for it.

    Tron Legacy isn't John Borg's best work. Almost every game he had made since is better (Metallica, Iron Man, TWD, GOTG, TMNT, etc)

    The game play isn't great (it's not terrible), the movie it is based on wasn't good (51% on Rotten Tomatoes), and will likely never get vaulted because costs associated with the license and porting it over an 11 year old SAM game to the Spike 2 platform.

    If it was based on the original movie, and not as created as part of the media promotion campaign for the sequel, it might be a different story.

    Quoted from mystman12:

    That rarely happens with modern pins.

    Until you play Deadpool. Best original music in a modern pin.

    Stern has even made it available for download here

    Quoted from mystman12:

    The track "Boom" is literally stock music with lyrics... https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/pinball-in-movies-or-tv-shows-name-a-game-you-have-seen-in-the-background/page/62#post-6470880
    Best original music in a modern pin is definitely the TNA soundtrack. Black Knight: Sword of Rage is also pretty good though it's not my cup of tea.

    I think your argument that the songs get stuck in your head is more a reflection of the technology at the time. Games weren’t playing 12 different songs like a modern pin. They had fewer tracks with more repeating, creating the ear worm affect. Dungeons and Dragons is my favorite classic pin music, but it gets repetitive after a while.

    And yes boom is original lyrics over stock music (still a good tune), but DP also has disco tracks, a county and western track, a polka, etc. It’s a pretty cool and unique sound package.

    Color is our perception of certain wavelengths of radiation. The rods and cones in our eyes contain chromophores which convert light into electrical impulses transmitted to the visual cortex of our brains.

    Color only exists in our minds
