    Good nudging skills drastically reduce the randomness of side drains. Watch some Bowen vids on known drainers and watch how he plays them. Then you will understand why they are needed.

    Quoted from CraZ4Pin:

    I know all the pinball purists are out there screaming they love outlanes and nudging and pinball just the way it is. But if pinball never evolved it would not be anything like it is today (no flippers, no pop bumpers, etc. etc). Pinball is due for some new thinking out of the box.

    Ok, ban vote ^^^^^^^ Get him outta here

    Quoted from CraZ4Pin:

    nudging is very easy for larger/stronger folks ... unfortunately young kids don't have quite that strength and thus, don't get to play the game like we think it is meant to be played. That's a shame.

    These aren't toys damnit!! You think these were made for kids?? These are intricate, sophisticated devices to be used by only the most discerned professional

    It's funny, my one daughter goes to a afterschool group thing at a local center with her friends. She told me there was a Popeye in there and she tried playing it, but it's in horrible shape. She said the is a little boy in there that gets mad at it, and shakes the hell out of it, and slams his hand on the glass. While I'm sure he isn't attempting to master the fine art of "nudging", he can most definitely move the machine. My daughters, now twelve, even a couple years back were shaking them after watching me, and I keep a tight and tidy tilt, let me tell you.

    Ahh they grow up so fast, one day crapping all over you as you try to change the diaper, the next they are shaking the shit out of your HUO ACDC Premium and getting mad at ball drains.... the memories...
