Own up — who’s broken pf glass, hurt their hands or legs/feet because you got pissed at your (or another’s) machine?! Sometimes they are just out to get you and there’s nothing you can do!!! (Ok maybe you had 1 shot too much...but still..)
Sopranos been kicking my ass lately, think I’m working on a bruise on my wrist from pounding glass..
Quoted from o-din:I don't get pissed off at a machine, but have hit my toes on the legs a few times while walking by wearing sandals and that kind of smarts.
You’ve never just had a game kick your ass unexplainedly again and again and get angry?!? Man I need to learn more patience I guess
Quoted from Who-Dey:I have too much money invested to be kicking my games. I get frustrated a little occasionally but never mad enough to kick or hit one of them. I am a guy that used to have a nasty temper also, but when you get older and wiser that stops, at least for most of us. You must be young I’m guessing? Only way you can make me mad now is if you mess with my family or get personal with me and then it’s on. Don’t sweat the small stuff.
Going on 33, young Enough I guess? I’ll admit I don’t get too angry usually (I’m pretty mild tempered) but it tends to be after a few drinks if it’s a bad night I can get pretty mad if playing by myself
Quoted from pezpunk:i do not get violent towards the games and i think people who do make everyone around them uncomfortable.
During public play - absolutely! I’ve never gotten mad when playing with other people or on others machines. Strictly speaking towards ones own games. For some reason by myself, when trying to get that high score or reach a goal and the game just seems to give me house ball after another or super cheap drains off weird ejects or bounces— man that gets me riled up.
Quoted from merccat:I’m not one to get mad at a game but if playing enthuastically for a good while my palms/wrists will get sore from slap saves.
I did get cut pretty bad playing a game when something that was unsecured on top of the head came crashing down and I instinctively tried to catch it. Fortunately glass did not break but I was hurting for a while after.
Yeah — hear you in sore wrists, although my problem is more bad posture. I tend to lean over the machine a bit and put some weight in my wrists, which are already bad. Doesn’t help when I slap the lockdown bar after a dumb mistake or cheap drain either.. No idea why I only get angry at home on my machines— maybe because I’ve put so much time on them that my expectations are much higher than at locations.
HighVoltage — your avatar always had that large dent in the lockdown didn’t it??
It’s just sopranos mostly that gets me and yeah, if I start having bad balls it just continues and snowballs, sigh. One day though I’m gonna take back gc. Pinball in the new year though sounds good. When we swap back I should have a flipping “whitewood” going — literally just flippers and slings on a blank slate.
