[QUOTE="Vyrastas, post: 80859, member: 2301"] Yes, this table and the uncontrollable drains frustrate the crap out of me too... but I couldn't stop playing it last night. I think this has to do with how quickly you can fail. If you only "waste" a short amount of time on an attempt, it doesn't seem like a big deal to keep trying, over and over, expecting that you'll get those lucky bounces on the next game. Contrast that with a different table, where you might have to get a 30+ minute game going to even get close to that last elusive Wizard Goal - when you fail there, you're less likely to fire it up for "one more try" since you just spent 30 minutes only to fail. I've encountered this in other games like PAIN and Super Meat Boy... SMB levels are very quick and fast, but they are hard as crap, yet if you fail, you've only wasted a handful of seconds, so why not try it again! And again and again... and before you know it, you've spend an hour or two on it. [/QUOTE]
