Actually , my wife enjoyed Tilt a lot, and she's a very random casual player. I'm in Special when lit and she still didn't care for it as much. Said it made us all look like freaks. 
Quoted from sk8ball:Molly's bday gift to herself was to retire from pinside.
Less stress is a good gift.
Quoted from jayhawkai:I think it's pretty obvious that SWL is an attempted hit piece on the hobby. They didn't have much of a story to tell, so they tried to focus on the most awkward moments from some of the more awkward pinheads.
Just for the fact that I was actually in it, can pretty much tell you they were shooting for a freak show.

Quoted from PhilGreg:Holy moly.
What's he doing for a living?? (Don't want to know exactly_ what, for private life's sake, but still curious as to what kind of income you need to have something like that going)
You don't have to be rich to have a nice collection like that. Just had to be doing this for a long time and get the stuff when you could buy games 3 at a time for $100 for all 3. Back in the day, pinball, bowlers and other games were dirt cheap. Late night thursday auctions, they were giving you games for $10 each just to get them the hell out of there.
knowledge is the key in this world. If you know how to fix and restore games, you can get a lot for very little. Less you know, the fatter your wallet better be.
