I got thinking about my poor skill level and how much fun I have with pinball. Seems like they would be mutually exclusive truths but they are not at all!

What other hobbies can you be so pathetic in and still have so much friggin' fun?

I know others like me are out there so I thought I would start our own support group, so to speak!

Hope you have fun playing your pins today...regardless of how well you do!

Quoted from beatmaster:

what exactly are the criteria to be part of this club, low scoring, can't make shots?

Mostly just be self-debasing and have fun with pinball, I guess.

Quoted from FishPharm:

I'm in the same boat you are. As a kid, I would gravitate more toward arcade games when i was younger. I would play pins occasionally but never got really good at them. Since I've been collecting arcade games I've been adding some pins and I love them.....but I suck at them...haha. I still plan to buy more though

Yeah. I hardly ever played pinball because my mother would drop me off at the mall arcade while she did some shopping. She may give me a few bucks and I needed to make it last. As I recall, I played a lot of Tron and Gorf among others. I sucked at Defender but was always amazed at how some folks could rule that game.

Pinball for me was just too brutal and fast. I couldn't name one game that I played as a youngster (now age 47)

Golf. Haha. I play at least 30 rounds a year and I have never broke 90. Woof

Good answers to my question. Looks like golf, sex, and fishing are reasonable contenders along with pinball.

Good thing too. I like golf and sex. Sadly I don't "play" either one nearly as much as I'd like.
