Apologies if this is a repost...
Humble Bundle has just posted a bundle for zen studios pinball FX2.
Humble Bundle let's you pay what you want, donate some (or all) to charity, and get some games in return.

I know it's not the best pin sim out there, but it's pretty cheap through this bundle. 
oh man..... do they have the cab version working yet with zen? Honestly the zen tables are pretty darn fun. Big variety and cool graphics. As for flippers and physics..well everyone can bitch about them if they want...but it is still a good time, specially for the price hahaha.
Just make sure to pay above $6 to get the extra packs.
If you want to pay more, that's great too.
I'll donate some bundles to pinsiders, but can't do anything until tonight when I get home from work.
Quoted from fattrain:Just came here to post this and was glad it already was! Nice job Wolf! Buying it now!
Ditto! Glad to support my fellow game devs at Zen and my friends at Humble.
I don't understand how anyone can bitch about the flipper physics on zen. Since they're their own platform, there's nothing to compare them against in real life. Gottlieb flippers feel way different than stern which feel different than Williams. Here we have zen flippers. And zen is the only flippers that the ball actually goes where you aim, doesn't have problems making up the middle shots etc. This is exactly what video pinball should be. Rather than try to duplicate real tables, create new and creative tables that benefit from things that couldn't be done in real like. Its the only thing that has kept my pinball cabinet in my game room.
Well, that was pretty fun! Until it bluescreen'ed my comp upon exiting.
Definitely has some flipper lag on my comp, but probably due to my monitor

Zen is an app. It doesn't have the ability to blue screen your computer. That can only be done in kernel/driver area. Apps doing bad things can only get killed or crash but not take down the system with a blue screen. That indicates a hardware or driver problem. Most likely in your video card. What was the blue screen error codes? They're given to help determine the cause.
Flipper lag is a combination of your LCD display and the video cards stock pre rendered frames setting. There are instructions on ATI and Nvidia cards. But in Nvidia, its called max pre rendered frames. It defaults to 3, you need it to be 1.

I have the Intel onbaord gfx from their newer boards we put in
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000003b (0x00000000c0000005, 0xfffff960002fc46e, 0xfffff88006da2cc0, 0x0000000000000000). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 112113-54647-01.
Seems like gfx driver error. I'll poke around with updates
The next two people that post will get a free humble bundle with all of these FX2 games in it.
You must have Steam and be on a Windows machine.
GO!
I've been playing the heck out of the Darth Vader table on my Surface 2. Works great in portrait mode. I love the humble bundles and I'll check it out shortly. Thanks for the heads up!

Quoted from markmon:Lol I already bought all the games. At about $3 a game why would anyone be too concerned about discounts or bundles?
Because with humble bundle you get to donate the money to charity instead. It's not about the discount, you set your own price with the humble bundle. You can pay $500, you can pay $1.00, it's up to you.
Guess I'm first to post. I don't have steam yet. Too lazy. I saw this earlier today and I've contiplated getting it for my xbox. I haven't played a video game in a couple years now. Every free moment is either playing real pinball or working on one
It shows as "Pinball FX2". You can always go back to your humble bundle URL and see what account they were attached to on steam. There should be a link in the key box that says "redeemed to this account" and "this account" will be a hyperlink to the steam account.
Played some of the tables last night. Amazing graphics!
On the star wars clone wars table I activated a totally different mini-playfield, completed it, booted me to another mini-pf and finished like 9 out of the 10 shots and then drained. It was really really fun IMO

They have some really talented table designers and rules writers on their team. I would like to see what some of them could do with a real table. Obviously they do some things that can't be done in reality, but they do a good job of making the layouts more or less 'believable'. That underwater table is gorgeous.
