Quoted from ectobar:I don't get the video mode hate for Johnny.
It's random, requires skill, and it can reward decent points and light the EB.
I have a Johnny that currently has the hand broke. While it does get old having to play the video mode first every time, it is still valuable.
Seconded - JM is one of the few video modes I really enjoy.
As for ridiculous - while I looooooove some Tron, the Flynn mode is pretty ridiculous. Maybe that's more pointless than ridiculous, though?
