[QUOTE="mmmagnetic, post: 23931, member: 558"] Yeah, some of them make cool games look pretty dull. High level play by exploiting high scoring strategies can sometimes suck the fun out of a otherwise great table. In the Earthshaker video the guy playing just keeps hitting one ramp for what seems like an eternity (for "miles", which I assume work similar to the "sky toll" in Whirlwind) before he starts with the rest of the game. It reminds me a bit of certain 2D shootemups, where, during boss fights, the player intentionally keeps the boss alive while performing the same action over and over again to maximize points, which is extremely boring to watch as well. Anyways, I will pledge in the next few days until I figured out how much I can reasonably spend :) [/QUOTE]
