Quoted from Grinder901:

Anyone else play with their kids like that?

Yep. I did with my three when they were young and now I do it with my four grandchildren. We share flippers all the time. Lot's of fun. Sort of like doubles tennis . . . not knowing what your own partner is going to do!!!

I have two little granddaughters about the same age as your little girl. Your little one sure is a beauty! I know you are proud.

I received my NIB Iron Man VE today, and I was never so shocked when I turned it on to see such a fabulous light show! It knocked my eyes out! This is a gorgeous machine. I have only played a few games on it but I just had to post that I've now joined the club! This thing is awesome!

Now, all I have to do is learn all the rules! That's always the hardest part for me with a new pin. Can't seem to memorize all of them. If anyone knows of a 'cheat sheet' that simplifies what to do, then please post it on here.

I have had my IM VE for two days now and man . . . games on this pin are the shortest I've ever had in my life! It's like no time and you are on your last ball. For you purists, you will shudder, but I put it on 5 ball play. That only extended the game about a minute and a half! Ha. So, I took everything off of Factory Pre-set and put everything on "Easy", and maxed out ball save. I got a lot of excitement but barely racked up any more points. I was still pressing the 'Start' button almost as much as the flippers!

Next was tinkering with those outlanes that gobble balls so quickly that you can't even see 'em going down. I moved the two posts to the narrow holes. Hell . . . they ate the next balls as fast as if I had done nothing to them. And don't let me get started on the STDTM!

I hate to 'cheat' anymore, but I'd like to have more than a 3 minute game. Looks like I'm heading toward setting it on 10 balls, a potential 50 "Extra Balls", and putting rubber bands on the outlanes to block them off.

Quoted from DaveH:

I will not play it first anymore . . . all my other games feel distorted after a few games on IM.

Same here!!!

Quoted from Grinder901:

Yes I have both the Whiplash and War Machine figures modded plus a Marine Drone in the back (I served 8 years in the Corps).

Hats off to you for serving, Grinder! I too served. Two years Active Duty during Vietnam and 32 years of Army Reserves. My father was a Marine . . . fought in WWII on Iwo Jima and Guadelcanal, then in Korea. I always liked you, but now I like you more!!!
