never understood this mentality. to me saying that you're glad you aren't good at pinball because getting to a wizard mode would take the fun out of the game is like saying you're glad you're bad at reading because you'll never have to deal with the ending of a book taking the fun out of the book. iv'e played a lot of pinball, and the funnest moments are when you execute a technique you have been practicing, see a new feature of the game you previously haven't, or getting a high score. the games were built to be played, that some people have no interest in playing longer or better seriously baffles me. to each their own i guess.
