[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 9721, member: 152"] Pinball for me is about that 1 game in 50 (for me anyway) when you achieve pinball nirvana as it were. Everyone who has played for more than a few games knows this feeling...when all of a sudden you can do no wrong, all your shots magically go exactly where you wanted them to, you made that impossible save not once but twice, you finally finished that damned wizard mode (or merely reached it for some tables), etc., etc. It's worth the 49 games that you just suffered through and the next 49 games you'll have to suffer through before you achieve pinball enlightenment again. Like today...just smashed my high score on ToM by 3.3 billion (5.2B to 8.5B) and finally hit my personal goal of finishing the Grand Finale in a single 12-way combo. And now I'm going to the arcade to play some real pinball and remind myself I'm not Bowen Kerins. :p [/QUOTE]
