I ended up getting this for the 360, since I had 800 points sitting around. I had to put my car into the shop for repairs (@$1,000), so I need not spend any additional money right now.Quote:

"Tilt: The Battle to Save Pinball" is good too. Not sure if it's on Netflix but it's all about the Pinball 2000 platform.
Is that anything like Faceball 2000?
Exactly the same.
It's on there as a DVD, but not for streaming.Quote:

I cannot get the Harem Multiball goal on TOTAN for the life of me.
That was the bug I was referring to in an earlier post.Quote:

There's a hidden hole just to the left of the bumpers. Sometimes when the ball bounces around the bumpers, it'll bounce into this hole. You'll get a "Harem Sneak In". Doing this 3 times will also start it.
It's like the King of Kong and any other documentary. You're going to see the nutty people that don't have a grasp on reality and take the hobby just a little too serious. The Pingeek guy was just plain annoying. They could have left him out, because that segment was totally uninteresting. It was interesting to see the techniques of the guy that won the tournament and he seemed to be one of the few that wasn't spooky crazy.Quote:

Wouldn't that be like having a meth lab in the US, but only selling your product to where it was legal?Quote:
