I dunno. There's a 'gravity' element to real life pinball that I don't totally fancy. Like, the ball wants to move in an arc, so to speak....I guess this is 'angular momentum'...the table is sloped, and the ball is pulled toward you, and so the ball wants to move in a parabolic fashion, tending to drift over and down/bounce into the outlanes, and the safe area is inside the range of the bumpers. Kind of detracts from the fun, cos there's less table you can play on. On virtual tables, at least of VP8 and 9 older than four years ago, the tendency of the ball is more horizontal. It kind of floats some.
Anyways, here's some brief goodness from the other night:
Scifi frauds. SF illuminates.
