Loving my new BM66, but with all the latest code, I wanna get to the good stuff. I know this is akin to a billiards player using a bridge, but my high scores are gonna get wiped out with the next code update anyway.

I know the downside is the lack of surprise when you finally get to a certain point, but I've been playing like crap lately.

Please tell me I'm not the only one that does this.

Quoted from PinMonk:

I don't because once I beat a game I lose interest in it. I have a buddy I got into pinball that was SO BAD he initially set his pins to 10 ball until he could have a reasonable game

...and THIS is how I feel superior.

Quoted from jbovenzi:

All my games are set to 5 ball.
I get a lot of crap about this from my "friends", but as I read here once, "Hey it's your game. If you want to play a longer 5 ball game rather than two 3 ball games, go for it."

Bless you, Sir.

I'm an old guy (cue Grandpa Simpson meme) but in my day, all games were 5 ball.

....and don't even think about walking on my lawn.

Quoted from chippe01:

I don't know if I'm as old as pismoarcade, but I also grew up with 5 ball games. All mine are on 5 ball as well.

I'm in my late 50's. Grew up with 2 huge arcades within walking distance in the 60's, 70's & 80's.

...all set to 5 ball.
