Yesterday, I blow the drum off my AC/DC and have a "zen like" game. Today, 1st ball on STLE I complete all modes, handful of multi-balls (Vengence & Klingon) then Kobiyashi Mauru and miss completing that mode by 1 shot. This is unreal for me as I'm not very good.

How do I bottle up this zen like state I've been in the last two days. I know sucky is right around the corner again.

Sounds like its time to sell the STLE and get a TZ!

Had one and enjoyed it.

I wish I knew. Several weeks ago I finished all level 2 modes and *briefly* played Enterprise Amok, final score 230M. Never gotten remotely close since then.

Gotta get lucky every once in awhile. Well, I do anyway

TZ is one of the easiest games to beat IMHO

I think this is the case.

I appreciate that, maybe osmosis. I've had pinball games long enough it was just a matter of time.

Hey stranger!! Hope all is well. Honestly, I was so stunned when I stepped away from the machine it was like "who was that?".

I think stress has finally gotten to me. Had to perform some layoffs at work yesterday, trying to force my mind to knock on the sky for awhile to escape. Hope I can replicate my playing skills again. Damn good two days at least of pinball.

Well, you're better than I am, that's for sure!

I think the key is that you've actually had time to play them so now your getting better at playing them.
