Just completely En Fuego (for me). Could do no wrong for a while on Paragon. Had been playing the last couple of league weekends and doing crappy, finally broke out with 450,380 and missed the EB when lit once and the 5X when lit on the next ball.
Then I played LOTR since I usually shy away from it in league play but since I had the good Paragon score I played...
Had the 1st ball trapped in the ring during DTR on ball 1 (actually the 2nd ball because I got the EB on the 1st ball) and missed several shots to knock it out.
Also ended the game with all modes played and needing to light the ring for TABA, but to no avail... anyway, another good game (for me) 129,525,010.

I can eat that - it's just a snack size score anyway! What's for lunch?! LOL
Nice games Zach!

I do that sometimes too, I don't know what it is. I just freeze up and sit there and watch the ball drain! Also another way I lose a lot of balls is I have a tendency to let a ball bounce off one flipper to the other before flipping to try and get a better shot or something I don't know, and so many times it doesn't bounce to the other flipper, just bounces enough to go right down the middle and I feel so stupid! This game can really get you sometimes!

I think that's what I was after, trying to get some more W-H-O for an extra ball, it didn't bounce as much as I'd hoped off the right flipper and landed on the tip of the left flipper, I had plenty of time to flip though and just watched it roll down...... duh......
> though and just watched it roll down...... duh......
Hmm, that's never happened to me ;)
Played JP today to keep the variety going. First game of the day, going in cold seems to work for me more often than not. However I am not good at this game.
It went much better than usual scoring multiple jackpots and earning extra ball. Funny thing was TRex stopped working and during tri-ball the right flipper went dead causing me to loose 2 balls. It came right back, but something is screwed up. Anyway... game 1 327,441,960
I looked at the median list and decided to go for EatPM. I realized after quickly getting her insert flashing and shooting the monster slide that the game was left only the "A" left to spell ELVIRA. I shot the skull and got a quick 3M jackpot. I guess getting the game ELVIR lit before declaring could be a stratagy for playing. Anywhy, I got an EB from a doule-shot tothe party punch and the ball got stuck in the saucer. By stuck I mean it kept trying to go through the one-way and it kept rolling back. I shook the game and it reset. Not tilted, it reset.
So very pissed I switched to Monster Bash without knowing the median but I knew it was high (for me). I called the game and accidentally hit start twice so I was stucking playing both games at once. Player one was doing best until the last ball. Got Monster Bash on both and both ended with Frank's keyboard away from Monster Of Rock.
MB #1: 122,629,150 MB #2: 183,124,250
Sorry for the ramble, st least I broke the median this week.

Did my scores this morning, just found time to post them
Started on Elvis, balls one and two were garbage, 7m at the beginning of ball three. Got an extra ball lit from the pops and when collecting that EB, I lit the gift EB which was nice, did everything towards Graceland except collect one gift DOH! Got my best ENCORE score of 40.5m giving me a total score of 184,450,040
Next up was a qualifying score for Indy 500, mine is set up really hard and it generally kicks my backside, today was no different 232,493,050 was my score with a decent ball 3 recovery to make the score half respectable
Game 2 was Shadow, tilted a 100m+ bonus on ball one, did everything to get Final Battle lit on next two balls, then promptly drained giving me 1,008,141,810

Happy 4th or July All!!!
In the spirit of the occasion I didn't have much choice as to which game to play tonight!
Spirit of '76 !
Game 1 started like crap but ended with a very respectable...
67,800
Game 2 wasn't so good, stated bad and ended worse!
27,390
Was fun anyway, oh I could have kicked myself once again for playing so damn good in practice! Last night on Gorgar? 581,xxx one or my best 3 ball games on this one! Got an extra ball, got the roving bonus twice got the special at least once, and was just on fire on this game, I thought the score would be higher but for 3 ball Gorgar I was pretty happy with that score, too bad I can't use that, but I have to keep it real...
Good luck all and hope you all had a happy and safe holiday!

No choice in machines this week, I had to borrow time on someone else's Firepower, the same Firepower that was good to me last week. This week was even better.
Game 1: 1,118,040 (I did a little victory dance after this score; thankfully, no camcorders were present) Game 2: 358,910
Firepower has always been feast or famine for me and lately I've been eating well. Maybe I should try to play all of my games on Firepower.

Amazingly, the scores on Spirit of 76 are so consistent that your score is the new GC score even though it was only 160% of the median. Nice job/
