Quoted from PinballTilt:I wanted to sell high before others had a chance to form an opinion
That's the best answer, I respect that.
IMO Houdini fans don't help the game. All this "you're not a real man if you don't enjoy tight shots, eat your bricks if you want hair on your chest" posting is a giant turnoff, and it crops up in every Houdini thread. Ease off the hard sale, if you like then just say so. Insulting people for not sharing your taste is a great way to make sure it stays that way.
