Seated or Standing?
« on: July 27, 2011, 10:03:42 PM »
I had a few people over to play pinball the other night and after a few cool drinks the debate about standing at the machine or using a bar stool  to play was brought up.I was wondering what the majority think ? I do like the stool myself.Appologies if this is a repeat topic.Cheers.  !@#

For me - standing.

 Always standing for me ball is never in play long enough to be worth sitting @.@

DMD - I can't keep still, my legs are all over the place if I'm having a "serious" game. Usually I'm very relaxed playing an EM. I cannot sit down playing a pin. Very un natural !

I have never even tried to play sitting down - maybe when I am in a wheelchair down the track!

cheers

Standing for me, can't be as forceful sitting down.

Standing for me as well.

Reminds me of my younger days in my teens at the pins.  If I hooked onto a machine which agreed with me (and I racked up the credits), I'd always remember how tired my legs were after standing for hours at the pins.  Of course in those days you couldn't walk away from the machine if you had credits on them.  At least now you can take a break if needed (mother nature, etc).
