Jed Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Anyone interested in playing in another VPGL ? First off - sorry I bugged out on running the first comp and thanks Foot for picking it up and running with it. I ended up having a break from the forum world and in fact a lot of the online world for the last 18 months and concentrated on other things in the 'real' world :) Anyway I do love me Judge Dredd Vpin and seem to only play that these days and not so much Arcade/Mame my previous obsession. It would be cool to run another Vpin comp and get some more interest going in the hobby - especially as Vpin has matured greatly in the last 18 months and especially with the updates in lighting and physics / DX9 - tables are becomine gorgeous with excellent depth, but also play very close to real life. One of the things that surprised me greatly was when i was at Pinfest last year, how much the virtual skills translated to the real machines. I had a ripper game on TOM at Pinfest having never played the machine in 'real life' before and also Black Rose. But at Pinfest I did find I keep reaching stupidly for my nudge buttons :) But I'm getting distracted again - anyway - if there's enough interest in another Vpin league, same format as last time, I'm happy to run it - just as happy to compete in it if someone else wants to run it.

Dedrok Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I am keen, have just started having a few games again myself. Funny you should say about the nudge buttons ..... when I first started to venture back out into the wild playing real pins again a few years back at PnP, people would say " why do you keep hittin the sides of the machine" Old habbits from too much VPin. Oh .... and welcome back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh .... and welcome back. haha yeah - at Pinfest 13 both myself and a mate found ourselves going for where we had the nudge buttons on our own cabs :) Been to PnP quite a few times when visiting my Newcastle buddy - really great little place and great Pizzas too. He'd be keen for the comp as well for sure though he doesn't do forums really but that makes 5 which is a good start :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAnotherRat Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I'd like to have a crack. Virtual Pinball hasn't really been my thing and I don't have all the tables but I would try to play when time permits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 7 people keen so far, thats great :) I'll start a table nomination thread within the next few days. The basic guidelines will be the same as I set out for VPGL 1. By the way - keen VPinners should as Molly used to say do yourselves a favour - and check out Uncle Willy's new version of Bride of Pinbot beta. It's in the works in progress thread on vpforums. Really is fantastic - the lightshow is so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 I'll start a Table nominations thread in the main part of the forum - Go there to nominate your tables or here's a link to save trouble www.aussiearcade.com/showthread.php/67898-VPGL-2-Table-nomination-thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Moderator Foot Posted July 24, 2014 Super Moderator Share Posted July 24, 2014 My only suggestion is that it would be preferred if VP9 was used instead of 8. I used 8 last time and in some games there appeared to be a fair discrepancy in the table behavior and scoring All my tables are in VP8 but I might have to harden up and change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
