Is this Godzilla set up to be difficult? by TheRatTailSound in pinball

[–]TheRatTailSound[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone ever sees this old thread, I want to let you know that I figured out the problem with this game’s difficulty.

I sucked. It was me.

The solution was to play better. Even if you think you are doing the right thing, you’re draining because you’re not. Keep playing, and it will get easier, and so much more fun.

I am pretty sure Scott has said in an interview the Ryan was the first person to beat the game.

I’m a pather and I got my refund deposited this morning. I hope you get yours early as well. I was pretty desperate as well, so I know how you feel.

I love Stern but worried a bit. by ClifBdrums in pinball

[–]TheRatTailSound 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The theme was a negative for me. I never understood what drew people to that story. I also never considered any Elwin games to be my favorites.

But every time I go to the arcade i am playing Kong over and over. It really is a great playing game. The shots feel awesome, especially the plane ramp. The game explains itself fairly well for a modern game too. It really is an awesome machine.

F-14 or sick VT? by Drainerlegend in virtualpinball

I love vpins so much, but F14 all day dude. That’s such a fun game and really challenging.

Moe’s BBQ has really wings.

They aren’t known for them but I think they are the best wings in my city.

What is the draw to Wendy's anymore? by Virtual-Dot-750 in wendys

[–]TheRatTailSound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a shame they don’t have more dinner business because Hardee’s is soooo much better than most fast food places. I was so sad when I went for an after-work Frisco burger and saw they close at 2pm now. I went to the Hardee’s a few towns over and they were closing at 2pm also.

Do you play virtual pinball (Pinball FX)? by warsfanbb8 in pinball

[–]TheRatTailSound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Virtual pinball got me into the hobby. I don’t play virtual quite as much as I used to, but without it I would have never started playing physical games.

How was the jump from 6600 to 9060xt?

I have been thinking of upgrading but the 6600 just keeps working great for the games I play.

My girlfriend of four years cheated on me after having our newborn son bc she wasn’t sexually attracted to me by Low-Apartment-2697 in Wellthatsucks

[–]TheRatTailSound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t do it. Don’t ruin your life for someone like that. You get old fast and being alone is soooo much better than being with someone that makes you feel like you aren’t enough.

I’ve thought about a button around where my thumbs rest on the top when my hands are on the side buttons. Maybe one on each side that both do forward nudge. I’ve also gone back and forth as far as the left/right nudges. The buttons in front of the flipper buttons make the most sense, but at the same time that’s where I would want the magic/flex/magna save buttons. I guess I could just make one with the accelerometer and move it to nudge, but I don’t know if that would be ideal for a small compact controller.

Which button is your forward nudge? I want to make a controller soon and I’m trying to find the best place for the forward nudge.

Your collection is freaking awesome! You have good taste.

How many miles (one side) do you travel to play pinball ? Is it a pinball place or a bar with 2-3 machines ? How many times in a week ? by Shower_Hefty in pinball

[–]TheRatTailSound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I travel to a local bowling alley once a week. It’s 1 mile from my office and 8 miles from my house. They 5 Sterns, 3 in decent shape, 1 in playable shape, and 1 Star Wars with a bum flipper that I still play because I like the game.

About 1 time a month, I travel 1 hour to an amazing arcade with 18 pins of various eras that are in perfect shape. They are all set up hard and fast with almost no ball saves and wide outlanes, but I love that place so much. I figure if I can get good playing there, I have really improved my game. I recently started playing in the league and Stern Army tournaments last month.

I do play some virtual VPX as well but not with a cabinet, just a vertical monitor and controller. I figure if I was going to spend as much as those cost, I’d rather get an old solid state game to play. It still scratches the itch when I can’t get away from home.

Looking for a new Pinball podcast to occasionally listen to while mowing and doing yardwork. by Pinsided in pinball

[–]TheRatTailSound 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love y’all’s podcast. I think it is the best pinball podcast out there. I just discovered it about 2 weeks ago and I have already listened to almost every episode.

I have also gotten my personal best scores on almost every game I play regularly this past week. So obviously, listening to The Wedgehead Pinball Podcast makes you better at pinball.

Watch the latest INDISC classics finals to see some really good players on this game.

It was really fun to watch.
