today to grab a beer and throw some darts. As i was throwing, my pops called and i drifted towards the pinball machine during the conversation. Low and befuckinghold, there is a ball near the firing pin.

I get off the phone, sling that steel ball down the chute...then more pinballs came about...even when they went down the middle and were dead, they would shoot right back into play. I'm very horrible at explaining shit, so sorry about the unnecessary words.....Anyways, the machine musta been broken, because i just kept playing for a half an hour , 5 pinballs at a time...I ended up getting the high score in the billions...

I'm now ranked number one on the machine and blew all those busch league high scores out the water.. ..kisses for all!!!!!

3/18/2009 9:38:41 PM

I, too, have exaggerated stories after drinking a few beers.

3/18/2009 9:38:43 PM

you see

im going to tell a story about the terminator 2 pinball machine, only b/c my dad had one in his mancave growing up

the scoring system for that game was so bunk

the only way possible to get a high score was to get the random selector bonus, and then get the "special" selection

it was 100,000,000 points, which, without the special, a 60,000,000 point 3 ball series was fucking epic

that's gay

3/18/2009 9:40:04 PM

you know what's better than pinball?
skee ball

3/18/2009 9:41:56 PM

i remember you telling me about that...one thing i dont like about the terminator pinball machine is its the trigger...I mean, it's cool and all since its the shoty, but i like pulling the firing pin...

skeeball??? are you sure its more fun?

They have shuffle board at this bar as well...a 16 ft table i believe...now that is a bad ass 4 player game.. i need to make me one

3/18/2009 9:44:15 PM

you know whats even better than that, shuffle board

3/18/2009 9:44:24 PM

you should turn pro

3/18/2009 9:45:30 PM

yeah the timing algorithm for the t2 pistol pull for the mill bonuses is so trivial

but it's still kinda neat


but yeah, im a plunger pull guy for my pinball plz

3/18/2009 9:46:49 PM

and this one time, my friend carl......

3/18/2009 9:47:03 PM

3/18/2009 9:51:41 PM

3/18/2009 9:53:53 PM

3/18/2009 10:25:18 PM

HOW DO YOU THINK HE DOES IT?????


I don't know.

3/18/2009 10:30:43 PM

when I was a kid, I would simply walk up the skee ball ramp and drop all the balls in the 10,000 point hole

mad tickets y0

3/28/2009 10:23:44 AM

3/28/2009 10:29:36 AM

I,too,love skeeball more than pinball.

TBD makes quality threads.

3/28/2009 11:19:01 AM

^^^i recruited this little kid at chuck e cheese to do that for me once. then i gave him all the tickets afterward

3/28/2009 11:25:11 AM

hey twoozles

3/28/2009 11:33:20 AM

When I was a kid I was a pinball champion. I'd go to Starcade, plug in $.50, and play for an hour racking up free game after free game from all the 1,000,000+ scores I got. I'd usually leave the machine with several free games left.

Now I suck at it. Apparently it isn't like riding a bike. If you don't play for 10 years you will lose your skillz.
