    Quoted from razorsedge:

    All I know is that slide saving is Not At All like nudging. The previous poll mixed that in there.
    Nudging has always been pinball.
    Slide saving is a Completely different kettle of fish, a new level of destruction. The gap between the flippers is intended for a ball to go between, by design. Circumventing that degrades the game in very many ways, imho.
    Discuss!

    This post almost made my head explode.

    "Nudging has always been in pinball." What's the point of nudging? To prevent the ball from draining down the middle or the outlanes. And that's ok.

    "Slide saving is different from nudging." What's the point of slide saving? Circumventing the ball from going between the flippers. And that's not ok.

    Norman, coordinate!!

    Quoted from razorsedge:

    If this wasn't so funny it would be plain dumb Lol

    I can tell you, it's not that funny. So, it must be dumb.

    Quoted from razorsedge:

    Haven't you heard of context? .... the real world is when I speak to someone face to face, derr. Pinside is a forum, not the real world. Don't you know what cyberspace is?

    Translation.....The real world is when I speak to "my circle of friends, acquaintances or anyone who thinks like me", derr. Pinside is a forum, "full of strange people who don't think like me."

    This can't be real. He's enjoying it too much.

    I had to take another peek in here to see where all of these posts were taking this thing. It's going to the same place it was before....nowhere. I'm not sure what I find more suprising, that the OP is still trying to keep this thread alive, or that rational people are still trying to have a logical discussion about it.

    Quoted from Luckydogg420:

    Just because you feel dirty when you do it, doesn't mean it's wrong.

    It usually means the exact opposite!
