This is one of the weirdest tables i have ever played 😂😂

Old Man Thanatos @oldmanthanatos.bsky.social · 22h

That... Is certainly a choice 😂😂

Old Man Thanatos @oldmanthanatos.bsky.social · 22h

I mean... Which table specifically?

Because if it's Black Knight, that just seems on brand 😁

Old Man Thanatos @oldmanthanatos.bsky.social · 1d

Do the thing 😀

Pindigo scores are important 😁

What if instead of meetings... Had pizza?

The soundtrack for TNA slaps

Have followed up an absolute horror show of a #pinball tournament two weeks ago where I finished 29th/29 with back to back middle of the road finishes (17th/34 and 19th/29).

Honestly, even the tourney I got wrecked at was still fun. Even a bad day of playing pinball is still pretty good 😁

Then you are in for an absolute treat.

And that is the extent of what I'll say 😀

Old Man Thanatos @oldmanthanatos.bsky.social · 2d

I genuinely hope you're hitting it with as few spoilers as possible - i had more "wtf?" moments (in the best possible ways) playing that game than anything else I've played in quite some time.

I love this table.

It doesn't always love me, but it's one that I have to play every time I see it.

Hungry people to desperate things.

So yes, I think you're pretty spot on here.

Old Man Thanatos @oldmanthanatos.bsky.social · 4d

That's even with trying to backhand those shots.

That table and me are just not vibing 😭

It's definitely a skill issue on my part - I've watched people put up 1b on our table at Next Level so I know it's doable.

Old Man Thanatos @oldmanthanatos.bsky.social · 4d

The assumption you're making there is that I can actually hit any of the shots.

Which has proven to be a very bad assumption the 50ish games I've played 😂😂😂

Which place are you going to try out?

Old Man Thanatos @oldmanthanatos.bsky.social · 7d

That is the absolute worst - you're on a good run of games, and then you get to when it matters and suddenly it's like "what even is pinball?" 😂😂

Old Man Thanatos @oldmanthanatos.bsky.social · 7d

I'm holding onto my C rating right now by the skin on my teeth.

Here's hoping we both have some solid results over the next couple months to lock that in 😀

So... Did pinball 😁

Old Man Thanatos @oldmanthanatos.bsky.social · 8d

My only complaint about this table is the kick out from the scoop can be very unforgiving - I've had a lot of straight down the middle drains from it :(

But overall, it's a fun table even if I have problems hitting the shots. That's just a skill issue on my part 😂😂

Old Man Thanatos @oldmanthanatos.bsky.social · 9d

But what if... Did pinball?

Old Man Thanatos @oldmanthanatos.bsky.social · 9d

That's a solid night overall 😀 well done

Legitimately one of the most terrifying movies I've ever seen.

It's absolutely great though 😀

Old Man Thanatos @oldmanthanatos.bsky.social · 10d

It's nice when you get a positive surprise like that 😀

Old Man Thanatos @oldmanthanatos.bsky.social · 11d

Look, noone was more surprised about the result of that game than us United fans 🤷‍♂️

Old Man Thanatos @oldmanthanatos.bsky.social · 13d

I mean, it's a great reference 😀
