[QUOTE="smooverr, post: 39882, member: 1435"] So I had a few good conversations with the owner. He only has two machines on revshare (I'm assuming the Sterns, Batman and Xmen) and the rest are actually his own machines! Turns out he is a collector and had over 30 pins at one point. He just bought a Top Gun which will be out very shortly. He's a total pinhead and loves to talk pins. Really great place, floats n shakes n such. Old backlights hanging on the walls.... Since I don't have a ton of experience on real pins (I KNOW what I need to be doing, but I quickly found out last time that my virtual skills do not really traslate as well as I'd hoped they would) he was kind enough to give me a few pointers. And coming from a guy who can score 650M on a real MM table, I'll go with what he says ;) Watching him play and picking up a few pointers DRASTICALLY improved my game in only 10-15 mins. Just learning how much you can actually nudge a table alone helped so much. Right after his lesson he opened the coin door and popped 5 free games of MM for me. Really nice guy. Onto Batman. Wow. LOVE THIS TABLE. I was doing so well at one point I turned to the owner and asked if it was considered an easy machine. Knocked out about 40M in one ball my first game! The table felt perfect, great STRONG flippers, and a great layout. Those two flashers right above the slingshots are definitely there to blind you.... Surprisingly my next fav table there was Bad Cats. Cheesy theme, but the shots and layout are great! I have the table in VP and the recreation there is BANG on. But the real thing is just merciless. No ball save and FAST drains. Still, 3 games for a $1, aint half bad. MM in real life is a ***** of a table. Even though it was the only table I actually knew the ruleset to, it was the hardest one for me by FAR. TFTC was also a ball muncher. Mystic wasn't my cup of tea. X-men is good, but I had no idea what I was doing on it. His Pinbot is in near mint condition, I need to relearn how to play that table for next time. I managed to stretch $15 into 3 hours. And that was with throwing my last $3 away in the last 10 mins. So all in all good times! If anyone reading this is in Toronto or close by I highly recommend checking this place out! [/QUOTE]
