    Quoted from Daditude:

    Some people don't mind wasting money. Im poor. I hate wasting money.

    You've got a WOZ and a LOTR. You aren't THAT poor!

    Personally....as someone that went through 50 games in 5 years... I just get bored quickly. Once I learn all the rules and how to maximize scoring...most games for me just become the same sequence of events, with randomized recoveries when I screw up. This leads to very boring play for me. Like when I had LOTR, every game just turned into a mirror of itself, because I settled into an 'optimal' route to safely advance towards trying to get Valinor. I never ultimately DID, but I was playing the same modes, in the same order, every time, and could NOT break out of the habit.

    A few hundred games was all it took for me to get to Portal on Tron 30+ times. What's left when you've been to a wizard mode that much? Frankly, I'd probably enjoy pinball in my house a lot more if I was TERRIBLE at pinball!

    Quoted from KingBW:

    Maybe that's why my wife and I are so addicted to it and haven't sold a machine yet.

    Yeah...I mean...look at my history and what I've kept... Crescendo is the only long term survivor there, and it's one of the most unfair EMs that I know of.
