Red Flag and/or Beulahland

[sauce]

I played Black Rose last night. It played ok, I never had a good game, but thats cause I suck at black rose. Everything seemed to be working, the ball never went wacky down by the flippers and the canon lip.

Thanks for telling me stuff I don't know, guys. I feel richer for the new knowledge.

[deathsave]

sometimes ROM wears sweaters.

[ROM]

Sometimes fucking DROPSHOT wears sweaters! you wouldn't know it, unless you saw him in one. But what can I say - he knows how to get comfortable.

[Kickback]

You can't use a Minnesota native as support on this one. They have no choice and don't know any better. You're supposed to look California and feel Minnesota, not vice versa. You're from California and attempting to look Minnesota and no one is fooled Californerd.

[Dropshot]

Haha jerd! Sweaters are great!

[Bonnie]

I prefer Minnesota sweaters to California sweaters.

[Bonnie]

It's like preferring Grandma's cookies to late night beer and burrito farts.

[videomode]

wow

[deathsave]

suspend your disbelief, video mode, and plug your nose. bonnie's chemical warfare farts are still lingering in the room.

Psht, Kickback, when I was growing up I was wearing sweaters while hanging ten at Malibu. It's a part of me.

I'm trying something experimental today: wearing two sweaters at once. And it's working out!

The idea came to me a couple days ago when I was playing Dracula and stacked the Mist and Coffin Multiballs. I said to myself, "Stacking multiballs is really rewarding. I wonder what other things in life can be stacked in order to reap mega rewards? Hmm, what about sweaters? ?"

And here I am today!

[Dropshot]

And that's why Rom is so wise, I made the mistake of NOT stacking an onion ring on top of my cheeseburger last night. I truly regret it.

stacking condoms can actually lead to more unwanted pregnancies and increased friction. the latex could even catch fire on your junk from heat build up! some things should not be stacked. i'd put sweaters in that category too. just aesthetically, the eyes need a break. i've worn two flannels that FELT ok, but the clashing plaids were too much.

[Legs]

so, i hate to derail any conversation involving sweaters and condoms, but as far as red flag machines go: addams family is resetting all over the goddamn place. at first i thought i was being rough with the machine, but then i cooled down and i still lost 2 games on the first ball...told the nice bartender and she said she'd make a note of it, but, ugh. don't play it. don't play here, unless you're working down the street like i have been and are desperate.

Addams was recently replaced by Creature. It plays pretty well. It's not the cleanest, but it's not too dirty. When it comes down the right ramp from the pop bumpers it often hits the right slingshot. But a little nudge gets around that. I couldn't tell if the left ramp that builds up the parking thing was working correctly. It seems to end if you boost it past 16million - so you can't collect it. Maybe that's a setting.

It basically plays like the one at Billy Rays used to - except it's a little more forgiving.

I GC'ed it a couple times. Final one's at like 325 million or so. I didn't really pay attention...

[Opto]

Emma and I played a game on MM tonight after picking up my beer soaked trackie. It SLAM TILTED on me while I was in a muliball. Wasn't even really nudging the machine - it totally came out of the blue.

[ROM]

Weird - that's never happened to me there. It must be going senile!

[bounceback]

i notice a LOT of cashbox games slam tilt really easily. i slam tilted a couple of board scores on monster bash the other night before drop shot got there-- granted, i WAS trying to bangback from the right side, but i didn't directly palm the coin door... their addams that was at the slammer for a while (perfect coincidence?) had a loose coindoor, and every time the door rocked back and forth even slightly, it would slam tilt.

[deathsave]

use a quarter to jam a loose coin door. i had to do this on the TAF at shorty's for years.

[ROM]

Beulahland's Theatre is randomly slam tilting. It sucks! I was about 200 mil from a score, and WHABAM slam tilt. I hadn't moved the machine all game (no dangers), and certainly wasn't when it decided to slam tilt.

Makes me lose a little faith. I mean, who can I trust now?
