Summary

Tournament recap and TPA physics update analysis for three classic machines.

BlahCade hosts Chris and Jared discuss recent pinball tournament experiences, including difficult machines like Creature from the Black Lagoon and repairs performed at events. They extensively cover The Pinball Arcade (TPA) beta updates for Cirqus Voltaire, Genie, and Creature from the Black Lagoon, detailing physics and collision fixes that significantly alter game difficulty and ball control mechanics.

From the creator

start the show by swapping tourney stories, including a bit of bush field repair on a Twilight Zone by Jared. Then we lead into a big chat about FarSight’s "Month of Bugfixes" and revisit the Leaderboard reset we talked about in the last episode. A Chris' Adventures in Pinball Ownership update follows with a somewhat daunting foray into the idea of clear-coating. Finally we talk about what we have planned for our 100th episode, including another Magic Pixel (ASK Homework) AMA. Look for the survey link in the show timings, but be quick with asking your questions.
