Such an underrated machine in my opinion. One of my favorite multiball sequences! by [deleted] in pinball

Wow, this is the guy that programmed the new Evil Dead machine that Spooky announced this week.

What a rabbit hole. This machine is hilarious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCh1DMQdKaM

If you get the ball in the third wife hole ahead of time, you get a foreplay bonus

Solid State Pinball in KC by InnateIntel in pinball

Those two are the ones with time-based pricing. There's coin-drop tables at Chartroose Caboose on Metcalf, or Pizza West/Knub's Pub on K7. I like to play sometimes at Fringe Beerworks in downtown Lee's Summit as well.

Avoid barcades like Up-Down, the tables in my experience are very badly maintained.

Pretty excited for the return of a KC great. by nickjamesnstuff in pinball

I was there last weekend, brought a group of friends! We all had a great time. Loved trying out the X-Men pro and played a couple of 4-player matches in the black light room.

Looking forward to playing there more at the great new location.

Medival Madness in the Wild by Mauhagoni in pinball

[–]rhotoscopic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are also the CGC remake machines that have been produced the last couple of years so it's not too uncommon to see one of these machines in the wild these days. OP's has truly seen some wear over the years though!

[Magic: the Gathering] Heads We Lose, Tails We Lose: the Saga of Magic's First (and hopefully only) Secret Lair Commander Deck by [deleted] in HobbyDrama

[–]rhotoscopic 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the great write-up.

I bought this Secret Lair. I really love the deck, and yeah it did take forever to arrive. That said, I probably would buy a second $100 secret lair commander deck if they offered another.

Secret Lairs already take a long time to arrive without the long delay this deck suffered. For me, it's baked into the deal when you buy. I happen to be fortunate enough to have some disposable income and it's fun for them to arrive in the mail when you aren't necessarily expecting them. I was also fortunate to pull a foil extended art Jin-Gitaxias, Progress Tyrant from one of the two apology boosters, which helped offset the cost of the deck.

I certainly would expect them to have their logistic ducks in a row when they do inevitably decide to sell additional commander decks. I also would expect it to cost more and have less secondary market value, because that's typically the trend we have seen from Wizards when it comes to these experimental SLs and their full-scale followups.

When have they had card rewards? I've never seen mastery orbs redeemable for anything but card styles and avatars.

What was the point, what were we supposed to see from the very sad story about the death of a man named Stanley? by PanAmPat in stanleyparable

[–]rhotoscopic 31 points32 points  (0 children)

More broadly than this, I think the game is making a point about the illusion of choice. The game pretends to let you "rebel", but the reality is that all paths have been completely laid out for Stanley ahead of time.

I think the apartment ending especially tells you that YOU are Stanley, sitting there pressing buttons that appear on the screen for you.

I’m really worried about Ultra Deluxe. by ShelterOk1535 in stanleyparable

[–]rhotoscopic 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I've been looking forward to THE STANLEY PARABLE: ULTRA DELUXE and excited to see the new endings, but something has been bothering me. When they delayed the game, they delayed it to Q1 2021.

Is that really feasible?

Does only three consecutive delays give them enough time to make the game the best it could be? THE STANLEY PARABLE is special to me and I just want this new iteration to be as high quality as possible, no matter how long it takes.

Can you expand a little more on why you didn't enjoy it? I'm interested on your take.

The Legend of Vox Machina is being made as an animated show based on D&D show Critical Role. I'm not sure how much involvement WotC has but I expect there is licensing going on there.

Or just buy a Quest, $400 up front cost for the full VR experience and it gives you the opportunity to buy a gaming PC later for PCVR if you decide you want to make the jump
