[QUOTE="Crazy Newt, post: 264681, member: 1595"] The artwork is a bit too cluttered for my taste, but I agree, it still looks very nice. As for randomness with the drains, I'd have to say that most of my drains are from inattentiveness as the the ball is kicked out of the left scoop. My reaction when I see the ball hurtling toward the right flipper is to select the right flipper as the ball quickly approaches. With this table, that almost always means that I will be off slightly with my timing and open a wide path for the ball to go down the middle. I have to continuously remind myself to let the ball hit a dead, right flipper first after the ball kicks out, and then catch it on the rebound with the left or right flipper, depending on where it ends up. For me, this is nearly always with the left flipper. Another frequent drain is when I hit the ball up the left ramp. Most of the time there is some DMD video going on and I have a few seconds before a new ball is launched. If I take this time to sip from my drink or look away to the TV or my music server screen for a spit second, I find that sometimes the ball immediately goes directly to the right inlane and I realize too late as the ball quickly passes by the right flipper and drains in the middle. Again, I don't play video pinball with my full attention. It is like solitaire to me. It is something I do when I listen to music. How is this for random; a 24+ billion score game immediately followed by a 38 million score game? Not too consistent from game to game. PS: I hate Mass Hysteria mode. I just select both flippers at the same time for the shots and check to see if the flipper orientation is back to normal whenever I have a bit a break in the action. Still can't figure out an easy visual queue for when the flippers go back and forth during this mode. I do watch for the 100 ghost lite and prepare after the PKE frenzy starts, as I know it is coming next. When the mode is initially enabled, I usually see the Mass Hysteria shown in the DMD, but that is almost always at the same time I drain 2 or 3 balls. After that, though, I mash both flipper buttons at the same time until the mode is finally over for good. [/QUOTE]
