I had a few other more de******ive titles I wanted to call this thread but this was the probably as de******ive as the site admins will let me use.
Was just having the game of a lifetime on BK2000. For those of you who know the game I was on my first extra ball but still on ball 1 with another extra ball won and waiting. I had played 3 multi ball ransoms modes winning 2 jackpots from the 3. I had also won a double knight 1 mil jackpot. I had beaten my highest ever score and I was still on ball 1 with an extra ball still to play. In the middle of my second Kings Ransom multi I notice from the corner of my eye that a globe and socket that had dropped from the upper playfield and was slowly sliding down lower the playfield. Trying to stay in the zone I tried to ignore it and play on. Little by little with the movement of the game and the balls hitting it, it slowly made its way down to the ball trough via the outlane.
It sort of wedged itself in a hole down there stopping the balls from going into the trough. At this stage I was way distracted looking at the globe and quickly lost my 3 balls. Oh well I'm still on ball 1 and already have my highest score so it's just a matter of carefully taking off the glass and removing the globe to finish my game right?...wrong!! After I put the glass and lock down bar back on I closed the coin door causing a slam tilt and it was game over...oh and forget getting the new high score up that was it just "tilt" and game over.
Can anyone else give me a similar hard luck story to make me feel better?
So what are you trying to say?
Thats pinball
I cant list the number of hard luck stories. My absolute pet hate is busting to go and no matter how hard you try to lose the ball you are just in the zone and have that ball on a string. Same goes for the phone ringing, or the wife bitching she wants something NOW. Its a crime to have walk away and hear the ball drain. Then on your return you have 3-5 rapid ball drains without a flip
