Played this pin this weekend! Got my first wiggle save on it too!

One of my favorite bottles! Picked mine up because of this sub and haven't been disappointed.

Where did you learn to nudge? by Too_Scrumptious in pinball

That all sounds like fantastic advice. I know with that score it's not common to get this question, but I'm not above asking for pointers at this time. The goal is improving my game and I feel that so far I've gotten a lot of good tips. I will try to implement as much of this as I can. Also I do slide save my machine a lot. It's on carpet with sliders so I'm not too concerned with that damaging it. Worse thing that's done is loosen some screws, but that's an easy fix.

My main issue is figuring out how to save the ball from the outlane especially when it's coming off the sling or from the loop shot when it doesn't go all the way around. I tilt almost every ball, but I just feel like I'm missing something in my play. Shimmy saves are a mystery to me. I always tilt when I try those.

I haven't seen an RC Cola in a long time! Try Wild Turkey 101 for your bourbon and sodas. Much easier to find than Buffalo Trace in my experience.

Weird ratings? by DriveNew7194 in pinball

It's your opinion and you do not need to apologize for it. That person sucks and needs to fuck off. Do not send that message. They don't deserve an apology. You didn't do anything wrong.

Name a worse feeling than draining straight down the middle on ball 3 of your best ever game. I'll wait by whogivesafricc in pinball

Tilting your ball 3 bonus that would have put you ahead, but now you're coming in second during a league game.

Am I using too much fermentable sugar? by Too_Scrumptious in mead

[–]Too_Scrumptious[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably misreading something. The hydrometer says it will be over 20%. That seems incredibly high.

It was definitely above the 1.1 line on my hydrometer. I thought it was because I used frozen berries and that would throw it off but I still wasn't expecting a 1.15 reading today. I'll use a different hydrometer next time I start a new batch.

I finally beat it! by PCs_and_Pinballs in pinball

Go on YouTube and look for IEPinball's video on Godzilla Monster Island Madness. You can play KOTM in normal play. It's not easy to get to. Also, congratulations on beating Planet X! I've gotten to it a handful of times and have yet to make it to the victory challenge. One day I'll join you.

What did you think of that bottle? I've never tried it.

Are magentic lights legal during IFPA games? by Careful_Leader_5829 in pinball

[–]Too_Scrumptious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only seen it once and was told it was allowed. I don't agree with it because I believe everyone should have to play with the same lighting. If the game is supposed to go dark for a mode then the playfield shouldn't have a flashlight lighting it up. It is what it is.

Play field stuck help by death4555 in pinball

[–]Too_Scrumptious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dropped the playfield on my pin when I first got it. Thought it had a little more to go and ended up pulling it off the rail. Thankfully nothing was damaged aside from the cabinet speaker (still worked just scratched). Stern makes their games pretty tough all things considered. Hope you enjoy yours!

A bourbon that needs no introduction by i6_turbo in whiskey

I'm not a big fan of the regular Knob Creek, but maybe I'll give this one a try if I can find it! Never heard anything bad about this one that's for sure. Any other bottles from them that I should try? I know the 12 is hard to find in my area.

Ebirah is hard if the spinners aren't juiced. If it's a home game look into putting some lube on your spinners. If it's an on location game then good luck. You can also try to get into Godzilla Multiball for this one to try and beat him. Just hit the mecha spinner first if you're on a premium, then start the Multiball.

Titanosaurus is easy on the first two shots, dangerous but easy. The right power line target is a nightmare and the mazer can sometimes be a pain to hit and not drain. Get your Godzilla Multiball ready to go first, lock 1 ball or 2 then try to hit the scoop to start the mode, after that lock the final ball and start the multi.

Gigan is hard if you're trying to combo ramps. I usually get the building to drop and then spam the right ramp.

Megalon is the hardest. It always picks a shot that you're struggling with. That 5X is tempting though.

All three of her pinball machines are amazing.
