played this for the 2nd time in my life last night, and totally can't believe danny's score, because my best was 2 mil. it's a fun game, and you can keep a ball going for a long time, but scoring is really tricky! anyone have any tips? specifically, i had a hard time hitting the ramp to lock balls for jackpot-- i think i only locked 2 on my best game. i didn't play it that long. i had a pretty easy time hitting the upper loop, (not more than a few times in a row though,) i don't know what the timing is to hit that ramp. seems you have to flip early? danny? anyone? how do you do it? and how the fuck do you advance to 47 mil?
in this article, LFS (lyman sheats) says his best was 110 mil on 3 balls-- he quit after 3, after playing for an hour and 45 minutes, even though he had 2 more balls waiting. and this was years back, i wonder if he's bested that now.
what do you guys think about the idea of using some dues to chip in and fly lyman out to portland for a vacation and week-long pinball tutorial? if we could get him to let us document it, it could propel all of our skills to massive new levels. what do you think? i think it would be so fucking worth it, it would be super fun and awesome, and it would probably not cost each of us much. it would be like summer pinball camp, except we bring the coach to us! i've always wanted to meet that dude and see him play anyway.
