[QUOTE="TheTenthEnemy, post: 8413, member: 403"] For anyone wondering about recording, for this video I used Quicktime to record my entire screen on the Mac. For recording gameplay from consoles the Hauppauge HD PVR is absolutely the best way that I know of. Although I often collect jewels with wishes, I was a bit too aggressive with that toward the end of this game as I saw the possibility of getting to the princess rescue three or four times, which I've never done before. I'm poor at multi-ball in general, as evidenced by this video. I've tried all of the multi-ball strategies I know of, and none seem to work for me, it's something I need a lot more practice with. The out lanes on TOTAN are brutal, it's all a matter of nudging to keep the ball out of that area/remove it from that area, or to make it choose the in lane instead of the outlane. This requires anticipation of where the ball is going to be before it gets there. I'm sure there are people who can explain this much better than I can. Center drains are another matter entirely, in The Pinball Arcade the nudging is effective enough at changing the course of the ball that center drains are almost always avoidable with slap saves and/or nudging. Whenever I drain down the middle in TOTAN I either made a mistake, or the tiger loop sent the ball back at lightspeed. Another thing is to only shoot for safe shots, but my video doesn't really represent this. There was indeed a serious luck aspect to this game, the ball just refused to drain early on when I was playing very recklessly. If there are any specific points in the video that you want clarification on just give me the time in the video and I can probably explain what happened. [/QUOTE]
