Sounds awesome. I'll try to stop by after work tonight.

Fixed the left flipper on Black Knight 2000.

Wurrd thanks. Sorry about that. BK is sweet.

TZ and Getaway are playing great! BK2000 looks awesome, and seems to be playing well. Excellent new location - can't wait to go back.

[Jeri]

Black Rose is almost ready to go. We'll probably drop it off tomorrow night once I test it a bit more.

Sweet, thanks Jeri can't wait to play it!

The three machines seemed to be playing well last night.
I GC'ed the BK2K (with only 8.9 million), and got loop champ. At one point it seems like this happened: after starting Double Knight the first ball would not wait until a switch has been hit before it was released. It would just release right away. So I would start double knight, and then the first ball would drain as I was plunging the second!

Dang - I must have left right before Black Rose showed up - Guess I'll have to break it on Thursday. Played a lot of TZ - it's playing really well except . . . the proximity sensor (???? not sure it that's the correct name for it) in the trough isn't registering the POWERBALL. The one in the Slot machine is though. The workaround is to simply shoot the piano or slot machine if the powerball is served to you out of the trough.

I vaguely remember that powerball jive happening at the end of my sesh on Monday... but not sure. Maybe COW can confirm. not that it really matters at this point....

[Jeri]

Thanks. I'll look at the TZ tonight, when I go replace the coin mech in BK2000 that rejects 9 out of 10 coins.

Black Rose is playing nice. Put up a score while listening to a couple d-bags talk shit about CFF. Listening to the clack of a free credit with that as background nIce.

[Jeri]

Hehe. Nice. Wonder if it was the same dudes I was chatting with there.

I plead the fifth. Annoymous shit talk on Internet message boards is the best!!!!!!!!

Soundcard - were they gabbing about how we think we're all badass, but really we're like whatever...? or were they making fun of my blog posts?!?!

Jeri - you know this BK2K well (warning, this is sorta nitpicky): I'm worried that with all the play it's going to get at the tournament, the right flipper is going to weaken a bit during the night. It already seemed to me a little weaker tonight compared with when I played it on Monday. On Monday the clean shots from the right flipper up to the upper level were making it up easily, sometimes almost making it around to the skyloop. But tonight it was much more of a struggle to make it up that ramp. Tons of my shots were coming back down. And they seemed like clean shots. This is especially sucky during multiballs, where it's now more difficult to keeps balls away from the lower flippers by sending them up the ramp.

Many people really stick to the right flipper when playing this game. So it may weaken more. So I'm just wondering... if perchance you're coming by beforehand to look at the machines, do you think it's worth looking at that flipper?

[Jeri]

Thanks for letting me know. I'll head over and check them out.

BK2000 has a goofy way of driving the upper flipper switch from the bottom flipper mechanics. If the lower flipper slows down then the upper flipper gets delayed. I have no clue why they thought this was a good idea.

Looks like we fixed the the random resets on Black Rose and adjusted the eddy sensor for Twilight Zone, so it detects the powerball better in the ball through.

We fixed the pricing on Black Rose, so it's 50-75-100. Sorry about the mismatch on the price card.
