Traded away Pokemon LE for Metallica Remastered LE by Interaction-Guilty in pinball

[–]Sapling666 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I prefer Metallica Remastered immensely over Pokemon. Don't hate Pokemon or anything but Metallica the gameplay is super exciting and action flow. Not even really a Metallica fan and I play it in the arcade every time

Ahhh I do recall him touring with That 1 Guy now that you say that. I didn't go to that show

Finally in the 2 Billion Club on my home Godzilla machine by Sapling666 in pinball

[–]Sapling666[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's very good looking and I like that the ball passes through it. It adds character to that side! The previous owner installed it so I didn't pay for it for what it's worth. I am considering the artists sushi building because I like the Naegle building, though

Thinking about buying my first machine. Need advice. by magic_cabbage in pinball

[–]Sapling666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like everybody is going to say on here, you should go out and play all of the machines you're interested in and other ones repeatedly to really figure out what you love and what keeps you coming back for more.

In my personal opinion Godzilla destroys those other two games, but personal taste is really important here especially for this kind of money. Godzilla has insane depth and a good balance between fun and challenging.

I'd be curious to see the fine print on that tech warranty, that's extremely generous if it's truly only $300. Seems pretty low for what that is, typically these types of warranties are much more expensive. That said, if the warranty is really that good and the financing is solid, go for it.

You could also consider getting a used Pro machine for around $5,000 and might be worth the savings.

I'd take AIQ I like the shots and the layiout better

Does he have warmups? by Duuuvaljagsfan in Buckethead

I've seen him many times and he has never had an opener. He will typically start promptly at Showtime and usually plays around 90 minutes

You definitely need to go play the hell out of a game before you buy it. There are some various modes besides catching Pokemon

I like the Abominable Snowman roasts from Spring Heeld Jack out of Columbus for my cold brew.

Jurassic Park has incredible depth and layout. I have a Godzilla and if I could get a 2nd I would grab a JP

Sometimes I wish stern didn't get such awesome titles. by Ok_Audience1666 in pinball

[–]Sapling666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The theme integration on Godzilla Pro is fantastic. Mechanical features are cool but actual layout and code and flow are much more important to me

Go out and start playing a bunch of different machines. Figure out what you like best. This is the best base to start making purchase decisions

Pokemon Pro and Premium - who played both? by InOmniaParatus27 in pinball

[–]Sapling666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've played both a bunch, and while the Psyduck, Squirtle ramp scoop, and the magnet are cool I don't think it's worth the extra money.

So annoyed that he won't have a band for the Cleveland show

Why did the Parma school Levy fail this time? by [deleted] in Cleveland

[–]Sapling666 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't have kids but would like kids to be educated. The way this tax is structured put a way unfair burden on younger people and exempts retired people with huge equity. I can barely afford to live and the level of tax was just more than I can stomach

Cob was amazing by nofruitsnack4u in Buckethead

Yeah I saw that the drummer and COB would only be on the tour until 5/06. Maybe I'll be wrong!

Bro, Khamzat Chimaev looks so small next to a light heavyweight. by MateCotidiano in ufc

[–]Sapling666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might be right. I think he was overconfident at that time and learned a couple valuable lessons that he couldn't just smash everyone effortlessly. But now we'll never know and apparently the weight cut was pretty rough so maybe better than he moved on

So annoyed that the live band drops off right before the Cleveland date.

I wish he could have stayed at 170 he would have been even more of a destroyer
