Went back to my nickel arcade with the intent of kicking some ass, and it has been kicked. Broke every personal record on their machines, took a spot on most of the scoreboards except for NBA. And Tron. >=[ tron was fucked up again and I didn't feel like harassing the teenagers to fix it. Was probably at least 5 degree lean to the left..ridiculous.

IJ. - 115,665,550 3rd place. Meh. I knocked off my own 86 mil score. :(
LOTR - 142,279,050 1st place. Grand champ on machine has 146 :(
POTC - 60,734,110 3rd. Never played it before today.
SM. - 101,908,890 not on the scoreboard. How sad.
Batman-90,026,590 1st place. Had everything lit except Bruce Wayne and the batman symbol? Not sure what else to do on that table lol.

My arm and elbow hurt like hell lol.
 
i had to get my work truck oil changed today. across the street is a pizza place. i had an hour to kill so i wandered in and they had nascar and the sopranos.
i plunked my 50 cents in nascar and won 3 games and matched on my 1 st game
i played 5 more games and when i left there were still 3 games on the pin.
great way to spend an hour of down time.it was also the 1st time i had played nascar. fun pin i might pick one up some time.

Good luck lighting Bruce, it's a bitch.
 
I was at a pizza place here in town and played 5 games of spider man. Only paid for 3 and won 2 games for free. That game is amazing. I would kill to own it! Stupid stern why are you so expensive!!!

I like it, it's alright. Everyone else seems to think it's just downright awesome. I don't get it. I really like LOTR a lot better, but it does seem like SM is a lot more 'general audience' friendly. LOTR is just chock full of target shots, and getting everything opened up is a good challenge in and of itself. I can't finish most of the modes simply BECAUSE they require very specific shots to be made to finish modes.

SM and Batman to a little lesser degree seem to be more just shoot whatever and you very rarely have to go out of your way to make an extremely specific series of shots to get things done. Maybe I just haven't played them enough. I spent at least 6 hours last week playing LOTR to get Destroy the Ring the first time, and probably 3-4 hours today to get my score. That was a beautiful game. I had three stacked extra balls. :|

*Edit* It helps that they have the machine go back down to 4 million point replays every 2nd or 3rd game you go without getting one. I left the machine on 120 million for a replay..I felt bad, lol.
 
Um...question. Was looking over videos trying to figure out the complete unlocks for Batman...

That ramp...thing...on the left side of the playfield. My ball never went there ONCE, but 30 sec into this vid the guy shoots it. What the HELL? I didn't even notice it until I was leaving the arcade and went "Uh?!??" when I saw it. How the eff did I score 90 million points without ever once hitting that thing?
 
dunno if this will answer your specific questions, but PAPA has a very good tutorial for batman - http://tiltwarning.com/blog/2011/05/papa-tutorial-on-batman-dark-knight/

Well....that explained it. Something is f'ed up with that machine. Every time you make that center shot at the place I go to, it directs onto the mini playfield on the right. It never sends the ball over to the batmobile ramp. I kept wondering why the hell the game was wanting me to shoot a right orbit coming off the left flipper..
