So, IIRC, The Addams Family should be released soon, right? I seem to remember them announcing it for January.

Good God Starship Troopers is so frustrating! I have two wizard goals left to reach, nuking 5 planets in Planet Multi-Ball and completing Kendathu but every goddamn time the slingshots screw me over. I swear these things are designed to voluntarily shoot the ball right in the drains. You HAVE to nudge almost every time the ball is about to hit them or else you'll get f***ed.
And please tell me you don't have to nuke the 5 planets all in one go.

Speaking of hard wizard goals, which ones have been the hardest amongs you all? Right now, completing the fuel special in victory is making me go insane 250K in Big Shot was hard too though I finally got that not long ago.

Right now, completing the fuel special in victory is making me go insane 250K in Big Shot was hard too though I finally got that not long ago. Yup, the Victory one is one of the goals I haven't managed to complete yet either and from what I can see online, seems like we're not the only ones who are stumped on this one. Aside from this and the Starship Troopers ones, There are only two other goals I haven't complete yet: 300 000 000 coffin jackpot on Dracula and the 5x jackpot build on Phantom of the Opera. 250 000 in Big Shot is pretty tough but it's doable after a bit of training. On the plus side, it's a great table to train your nudging skills. Also, as far as score goals on old-school tables go, this is nowhere near as bad as scoring 3 000 000 on Genie or the 500 000 end of ball bonus on Goin' Nuts (that is especially dumb considering it requires you to purposely drain your balls... that came out wrong... and that too). The Ultimate Challenge in Champion Pub is also a hard one... though it probably would be easier if there weren't a bloody glitch in the ROM that breaks the mode if you use a smart punch while it's active! Very irritating. I'll second lighting the three double bonuses in Haunted House. The Blockbuster Special in Lights, Camera... Action!. Pretty sure I only got that one thanks to a glitch. The Battle for the Kingdom in Medieval Madness. I always seemed to lose just as I was close to completing it too. And isn't it nice that you only get one chance per game to complete it? The video mode is also surprisingly tough. Activating Lyman's Lament in Monster Bash is just insane, and of course it doesn't count if your use the cheat to make it the first Concert Hall bonus. Needless to say, I ony managed to pull it off once.

Oh f*** yes, finally I am done with this FUEL Special nonsense! It feels so good! Talk about removing a thorn from my side. Now the only goals left for me to accomplish are the 300 Million points Jackpot on Dracula, the 5X Jackpot on Phantom of the Opera and nuking 5 planets in Starship Troopers and I'll be done, hopefully in time for Addams Family.

So the stream for TAF ended. Here are some notes of interest.
-Gold table will be available for purchase in the future. -Gold table will have a separate high score table from the regular one. -New ball pack comes with balls that can alter the physics of the table. Balls include: -Golf ball: Lighter than usual. -Lightning ball: Considered the "anti-powerball. Also had bolts come out of it. -Hurricane Irene ball: Lighter(?) than usual. Pages fly out of it. -Thing ball: Lets you move freely around the table. -What ball: Unknown, as trying to play with it crashes the game. -Fester ball: No real change. Light bulb in his mouth lights up.
Table, and next newsletter, is coming tomorrow. Can't wait for it.

Weird that the gold table will be separate. Did it even have any gameplay difference from the regular one?

Aw, man, feels so good to be playing this table in some kind of official capacity. I still get a kick out of Julia's over-the-top line reads every time I hear them. Goes to show what a fantastically dedicated actor he was that even for something as simple as this, he was taking it seriously and giving it his all.
WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU?!!
