I noticed something while playing last night that I hadn't noticed before. Can anybody tell me if this is new? During "There's No Place Like Home" I was able to acquire an Extra Ball that I'd lit before draining. I don't think that was possible in earlier code, but I could be mistaken.

Another thing I noticed while checking audits in the machine was that the switches for TNPLH are really disproportionally represented. All but "Place" have approximately the same number of hits registered, while "Place" seems to have been hit nearly 1/3 less than all the others.

Is that common due to it's middle placement, or could I have an intermittent switch??

I was actually surprised when the extra ball was awarded. I tend to agree that it should be a no points or awards mode. It's a long, and appropriately difficult mode to get your ball back. You have essentially drained, and your ball SHOULD be over. You have a chance to save it, which is cool. Extra ball and other lit awards should remain lit throughout TNPLH in order to be redeemed upon completion, or in the next ball.
