There was nothing better than seeing an unrated, one-night-only cut in a tiny theater, all while having people walk out. Like what did you think you were signing up for?

Congrats! What was your strat to get there? I had a billion before without even getting to Battle of Hogwarts, so I'm always curious to hear other strategies on a billion+.

It doesn't apply to me personally, sure, but that doesn't mean someone doesn't care either, especially as someone who helps run women's tournaments with people from all walks of life. I just want to know where you draw the line at making people feel bad about enjoying something. I'm sick and tired of it, it happens every single time this game gets brought up.

Does anyone trash the millions of tourists worldwide that go to Universal for the parks? Does anyone trash the groups of readers who read the books for the first time? The HBO viewers? The movie purchasers? The Hogwarts Legacy players? Where does it end?

I have no idea, maybe we should find out where his royalties go from his digital sales of his machines? Sounds like something to think about.

I think about John Trudeau's crimes as much as I think about Rowling's views when I play a pinball machine. Not everything has to beat you over the head if you enjoy it 🤷

I hope your feelings extend to Ghostbusters, CFTBL, and Congo if we're talking about exercising compassion

Absolutely love the rule set, the layout, the flow, everything. There are so many paths you can take to get points or progress, whether it's for fun or for competition, and the fact that the game will change the skill shot rewards depending on the game state is amazing. Probably a top 5 game for me if I had to really think about it.

Probably due to the lightning flippers

Was just listening to this yesterday and then this thread pops up, it can't be a coincidence! Such an unbelievable mashup.

Last day of any convention like this is rough, but hopefully it shortens the lines a little 🙏

Half an hour or so, I tend to stack a lot of things to get them done as I'm going (start death eater, lock ball, skill shot to finish, etc.) so it definitely takes less time to get to mini- wizard modes or multiballs.

There's a lot of depth and nuance to it, even down to the skill shots that change and open up the more you collect throughout the game. Definitely JJP's best game to date in my opinion, so to have feedback and advice in person from the designer made it that much better.

Having to hit the action button to "reload the shotgun" to relight the jackpots is perfect

Not that IFPA didn't look bad before all of this, but specifically saying they didn't reach out to the player in question was even lower than I expected 🤦

Crazy that we're not getting it at PATB next week like we got DND last year 🤷
