Quoted from phil-lee:I really like Houdini, was actively shopping for one awhile back when the price became very reasonable.
Then I noticed they put a damn Ouiji Board on it.
Can someone create a sticker to cover it up that looks OEM?
Yeah, I know he and his wife were doing seances and its part of the History.
I just can't let one in the house.
Ouiji boards are made by a toy company. You don't seriously believe they hold some sort of special power?!
I got one.. the pinball community is plagued by rich old white dudes who have pocketbook pissing matches with each other and rarely if ever even play pinball. They move on from LE's with less than 100 plays only to order the next LE so they can be the first to tell everyone they have it. Then they read the popular opinion and sell it after strangers (who will never see or play their games) shit on it over the internet.
Quoted from goingincirclez:I used to feel that way. But over the years, having moved / set up a few games with one randomly lurking leveler stubbornly locked by fuck-you fusion, I don't dismiss new ones anymore.
I have a bag of them on hand! New balls too
Quoted from KingVidiot:Spends hundreds on 3D printed junk for a pinball machine.
Pinside: YAY!
DLC for pinball?
Pinside: BOO!
I think a scary amount of you are like Cameron’s dad from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off - you never play your machines, you just rub them with diapers. I understand selling a game you didn’t connect with as much as you hoped, but I personally bought 2 PRESTINE machines, decked out to the gills with mods and add-ons…. but with only a few hundred plays each.
I buy pinball machines to play em, and if Stern’s goal is to sell DLC via insider connected, FUCKING GOOD. Guess what? I’d pay hundreds for it too. Yeah, I’m the kind of pinball customer a lot of you loathe. God forbid an option exists to spend a few bucks to add more gameplay to a 9k game.
Newwwbs! Amirite
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Lots of games have the free ball save if nothing is hit going for the skill shot. Whirlwind and RZ come to mind. Although it's hard not to hit anything on whirlwind
My whirlwind has zero ballsave. I thought that's just how it was.. maybe i should check the settings 
oh ya, i can't check. Pulled a 2A fuse out of it to troubleshoot Dolly 
*note to self, grab 2A fuses tomorrow!
I shake my head at people who sign the bottom of every post they make, like it's a legal document. It's a godamm meaningless message on a pinball forum and your identity is already revealed on the very first line of your post! (Exhale)
Quoted from BriannaWu:Pinball tables are, in general, too hard. They are tuned for expert players and because of this lack accessibility.
Pool table.. ping pong table... pinball MACHINE
*get better at pinball*
Quoted from Ryguy80:If someone refers to a pin as a pinball table, I don't lose sleep over it. Every other inanimate object that has four legs is called a table (kitchen table, end table, coffee table, etc.). Exception is nightstand.
I definitely don't lose sleep over it. But chairs, desks, shelves, stools, media units, furniture all have legs. None are considered a table!
Quoted from trecemaneras:I definitely got “table” in my head due to Zen Pinball / Pinball FX being my gateway drug to the hobby. I tend to go with machine or game now, or just call it a pin. But isn’t there also historical precedence for pinball table? I thought I read that early games were referred to as pinball tables.
Also, the post you’re responding to is coming from the perspective of someone who’s already good at pinball, speaking on behalf of beginners, if I’m not mistaken. Whenever beginners are discussed on here, I feel like the “curse of knowledge” comes out on full display from most of the pinsiders who respond, where things that seem painfully obvious to someone who has already attained expertise are erroneously believed to also be painfully obvious to someone who has none.
I guess maybe that’s my unpopular opinion: just because you look at a new machine and immediately understand what to do doesn’t make it reasonable to expect it to be obvious to everyone else.
I think new people or beginners are just naive and self conscious. Nobody actually cares about how good you are at pinball. In fact, lots of experienced players aren't good at pinball.. telling someone to get good at pinball is just a joke and honestly doesn't affect the overall experience of the hobby. Take it with a grain of salt because nobody actually cares how good you are unless you're competitive and in a tourney! Even then i'm just there for a good time and don't get upset when i don't win.
Quoted from prl867:I cancelled Amazon Prime after being a long term inaugural member and went with Walmart+ instead.
Couldn’t be happier with the decision.
Great decision! 70-80% of their product is from Chi-nah
Quoted from trecemaneras:I think it would be just fine because it wouldn’t look hilariously grotesque. It’s like Napoleon Dynamite drawing a liger, only it’s some guy trying to cram all his favorite sexy lady-parts on. What would that poor mermaid look like if he had a foot fetish lmaooo
You're kidding right?!
Although i have never personally seen a mermaid in real life i would of assumed her dorsil fin 'bursted' out near her butt cheeks. Silly me! But now i know they are only half human from the belly-button up! Wait, are you about to say they don't have bellybuttons either? 
And one more follow up question.. how would they make fart bubbles without butt cheeks?!
Quoted from bob_e:Gun control is hitting your target.
Unfortunately not in your country
