[QUOTE="Sumez, post: 111667, member: 1547"] Not so much woe in this, just a bit of bragging. Probably not a lot to you wizards in here, but to me it was a big thing. At a tournament yesterday I had terrible plays all day, getting what I thought was a really really low position, TOTAN was one of the "free play" tables for when you weren't competing on your assigned tables, and I had a really hard time controlling the table, making about 5-6 mil on it at most. But at one point late in the evening when I was really tired and even a bit intoxicated I decided to go back and have a single player game on it. Suddenly I managed to collect all the jewels and start the wizard mode. I've done this many times on TPA, even several times in a single game, but getting there on the real table was just something completely different, and it's pretty rare that I make it to the wizard mode in anything. TOTAN really has one of my favourite wizard modes too, and it's just really intense when it keeps dragging out, and you have to -manually- plunge balls all the time. I lost count of how long the battle with the genie went on, and at several points I felt like I was sure to lose (unlike in TPA where it's almost difficult not to win), but in the end I finally made it, all pumped up, with my heart beating really fast, as the flippers turned off and I got the famous "THE END" screen and the princess bonus (enough to get the #2 spot on the table's high score table once I was done), and I saw I had guys standing around the back watching, some of them clapping at me as the genie finally let go. That felt really good, especially after a day of feeling totally unable to play pinball. :) [/QUOTE]
