[QUOTE="Sumez, post: 110003, member: 1547"] Not on TPA, but on my own WH2O at home. After playing a few games, most of them surprisingly decent but with my usual screwups, the game all of a sudden just "clicked" for me. Not just WH2O, but pinball in general. I started juggling the ball around without paying much attention to what I was doing, no pauses to think, plan or relax, just playing on instinct, pulling off crazy tricks with the flippers that must have made me look like a true pinball wizard if anyone were there to see it, or at least ridicolously lucky, but every move was exactly as I intended, sending the ball from one lit up shot to the next, hardly missing a single shot, and advancing through the rafts faster than I have ever seen anyone do it before. I ended up making nearly 500 mil on the first ball (not too difficult on TPA, but fairly good on the real thing for someone on my level), completing Wet Willy's, getting every whirlpool award except from one, and even getting straight to class 6 river thanks to a lucky Mystery Award (but the long ball would probably have taken me there anyway). My multiball was crap, getting me only a single jackpot, but on the other hand it got me through both stage of Wet Willy's within seconds. So basically, all I had to do on my last two balls was starting multiball one more time, having already locked the first ball, to get the Vacation Jackpot which I have never before reached on the physical table. And of course my heart started pounding really fast, as I put all in on making those sucker shots without aiming directly for it (spending two whirlpool challenges trying to use the multiball to do it), and of course I finally ended up screwing up, draining my last ball with the final shot lit, [B][I]one shot [/I][/B]from finally making the vacation jackpot! I wish I could play like that every day, it would be enough to win some pretty high end tournaments... [/QUOTE]
