[QUOTE="Trackball, post: 242335, member: 5924"] So I'm doing a test run on some new settings for this game on PC, trying to get it to run smoother, and I try my hand at a game of Scared Stiff. I proceed to have my best game ever, getting Monster Multiball three times, even activating Spider Mania for the very first time. I even get that last Wizard Goal, the 250K Beat The Crate shot, thus getting the Scared Wizard achievement, and with it, carte blanche to finally turn off Family Mode so I can hear the raunchy clips. Oh, and all that above? On ball 1. [img]http://i.imgur.com/Z3iwBUV.png[/img] (Before you ask, yes, the score's font changes once you break 100,000,000. And I was lucky to get a screencap without any dripping blood animation blocking it.) So I think I'm all that, right? My fingers are quite tired from holding the triggers on my 360 controller, but I'm glad I was able to get triple my highest score ever...even though, after this screenshot, the rest of my balls drain real quick. But I still end up with a score around 270 million, and of course all the Wizard Goals. Then I go to the leaderboards...only to see that, sometime in the last month, Mark Miwurdz scored a billion. [img]http://i.imgur.com/Wb9HYhZ.png[/img] Talk about sobering. Thus, I have to ask...is there something I'm missing? Do I just lack the timing to hit the ramps over and over for ever-increasing rewards, like on this table and Juidge Dredd? Am I just not working hard enough? Even with tilt as forgiving as Pinball Arcade's, it amazes me how Miwurdz and Pinballwiz45b can carry on these games so long, shooting so precisely for what seems like hours. This one game I just talked about took at least 30 minutes! I was afraid we'd have a power outage and I'd lose my score and Wizard Goal credit, or a random download-finished message would pop up and make the game crash (I once lost a 2B game of TZ this way, which would've been my highest score to date at the time), or some other calamity... How do you guys do it? [/QUOTE]
