[QUOTE="Crazy Newt, post: 264622, member: 1595"] Ugh! This game is definitely not casual-play friendly while listening to music and having some sporting event on a TV in the same room. I drink, I listen to music, I throw a game on the TV with the sound very low or muted, and I play a game of pinball or two and just clear my mind and relax. I can do this with AC/DC. I may not get my best score, and a few critical shots are missed or ignored, but I have a great time. This is the first game I recall that kind of irritates me. That awful left scoop return is how I almost always drain a ball. If you couldn't tell from the first few sentences I typed, I don't have a ton of patience and need a considerable amount of stimuli to feel normal. I've somehow managed to make it in this world for half a century with these irregular characteristics, so I probably won't change my personality too easily. I am what I am. This game has LONG pauses where something is happening on the dot matrix display and I have to plod through these far too often. I realize that I can press or hold the flipper buttons to expedite these occurrences; however, with that left scoop's eventual return, I need to practice great patience and totally forget that I even have a right flipper until well after the ball launches out of the scoop. I wasn't too thrilled about AC/DC at first, and learned to appreciate it later, especially after finding out my favorite new-ish Stern pinball machine, Star Trek, routinely crashes to my desktop during normal play under specific, repeatable circumstances. I ended up playing AC/DC quite a bit, and even learned the table rules enough to get into it. I read all of the GB rules. I found it much easier to play a game or two, and then go back to the instructions and read about specific sections I was interested in rather that trying to read through the full list from beginning to end.
