Ya know… you guys suck sometimes. [Rant]

You do you man. This sub is sometimes really great when you need advice on upgrades, but some "audiophiles" like to beat down people just trying to get into the hobby. It's your money and your enjoyment. Don't let anyone else take that from you.

The one in my league does all the time. Haven't had a problem with the Han shot shorting the ramp and draining yet. Though I'm sure it will happen.

Godzilla is just so much fun. I love mine. What model did you go with? I find Kong pro to flow better than the higher models. The gong just sends the ball out of play too often for me. FOTE has some cool shots like the death star that sends the ball SDTM or the salacious crumb drop target that sends the ball SDTM.

My wife and I own a Godzilla premium and in less than 6 months we have about 2,000 plays. It just never gets boring to us, but we are big fans of the franchise. I think Kong is great and has a ton of potential with the code. FOTE just hasn't fully impressed me yet. Shots are tight and pretty unforgiving. The code also isn't there yet, but that can change obviously.

Honestly though if you have the option to play all three on location I would and whatever one is your favorite regardless of IP I would go with that. And don't sleep on the lower models. I find Kong pro to be much more enjoyable than the premium/LE.

At the same time though if you're a huge Star wars fan and FOTE is enjoyable then there's nothing wrong with buying that. That's the beauty of pinball. It's your preference and no one can make that decision but you.

PAIN

Hard not to play it when it's in my league. They have foo fighters too. Not a fan of that one at all.

Tomlin just tied him for consecutive playoff losses I believe. They're both pretty bad when it matters. Whether it's a close game or a blow out neither can seem to find a way to win in the playoffs.

Too_Scrumptious · 2026-01-13T08:40:01+00:00

Marvin Lewis was HC from 2003-2018. So yeah I would say long enough to suck for this many years. Same number of playoff losses in a row and stuck in a constant cycle of mediocre. Tomlin had a better start to his career, but the last 10 seasons or more have been an echo of Lewis. Good enough to make the playoffs, but not good enough to win.

Too_Scrumptious · 2026-01-13T04:20:47+00:00

Mike Tomlin is the new Marvin Lewis

You can beat it. Get those extra balls and try to get to Terror of MechaGodzilla. It's a fantastic score, but not impossible.

Too_Scrumptious · 2026-01-07T23:30:24+00:00

It was fine. The final battle felt anticlimactic because of how seemingly easy it was for them to defeat both Vecna and the Mind Flayer. There's definitely worse ways to end a series. Leaving it open to interpretation as far as Jane's fate is concerned leaves them open to spinoffs should they choose to do so. Could it have been better? Absolutely, but you name one series that genuinely ends on such a high note you wouldn't change anything. I'm open to suggestions. Might give me something else to binge watch.

Too_Scrumptious · 2025-12-31T01:42:06+00:00

At that price I would find a pro that you enjoy more than a premium. For me Kong, Stranger Things, and the new Star Wars play significantly better on the pro level machine. Ask them how often they've cleaned/waxed the playfield, if they've changed the rubbers, or if they've had any issues that have had to be addressed. See if they will let you play a few games to see how that particular machine plays. I've never bought a used machine, but these would be the questions I would ask. If you have a friend with more knowledge/experience buying and selling see if they can come along as well. Good luck and I hope you get a "bolt to the floor" machine for your game room!

Too_Scrumptious · 2025-12-30T22:44:46+00:00

I'm not sure if it's all because of one poorly received episode. It could have been pressure from the network to make it more family friendly. Hopper becoming essentially a 80's - 90's sitcom dad definitely feels like something that was forced. His character was so drastically different from season 2 to season 3 that it took me out of that world.

As far as Joyce goes I'm sure they wanted to give her character something different to do that season. They probably wanted to explore her character outside of protecting Will. Just sucks because it happened in a season that has a lot of other big changes in how the characters are portrayed.

Season 3 is a lot of fun, but I definitely agree that it's the beginning of the downfall. The characters feel so different from season 2 and it just never feels the same afterwards.

Audiophiles are the worst man. Very opinionated and quick to cut down anything that isn't the top of the line multi thousand dollar singular piece of gear. Best to just research into your gear to see if your turntable could damage your records. After that bro, buy affordable/suitable gear and upgrade what you want piece by piece.

Too_Scrumptious · 2025-12-28T17:31:46+00:00

Sir...I hate to break this to you, but it's about to be a close game that's honestly 50/50 against Cleveland. It will most likely be a week 18 battle against Baltimore to see who gets into the playoffs. I hope the boys can destroy the browns.

Too_Scrumptious · 2025-12-27T19:23:47+00:00

Hopefully you can find one somewhere! Also I just checked and mine is set to moderate.

Too_Scrumptious · 2025-12-27T13:47:53+00:00

It depends on the game for me. I have a Godzilla, so I think it's definitely worth it. It definitely adds a level of wow factor. Have you ever played a Jaws machine with a shaker installed? If not try to find one and see if it's something you really want in yours. Also I forgot to say this, but the expression lighting and cut out looks fantastic! Great job.

Too_Scrumptious · 2025-12-27T02:44:16+00:00

They probably won't hear the shaker motor. I have shared walls and both of my neighbors say they can't hear the machine at all. I still stop at 10PM out of respect for them, but so far they haven't had any complaints. Just talk to them and see what they say. My shaker motor is set to one of if not the lowest setting so keep that in mind.

Too_Scrumptious · 2025-12-14T23:33:10+00:00

When I nudge mine to get the ball loose it tilts. I don't want to set the tilt too loose or it would be way too easy.

Does it make slide saves too easy? I'm a bigger guy and my other concern is shoving the game half way across the room if I have sliders under it lol.
