I personally didn't like it. They projected people who like arcades or pinball as some social outcasts that are nerds or weird. They somehow linked playing pinball as some sort of sexual innuendo. Then the ending topped it off with them saying "pinball won't last another year" or some other bs. The average pinball collector was shown as some hoarder. It was ridiculous.

Practice makes perfect. I started really playing pinball a little over a year ago. Nudging the machine is hard ain't it? In digital pinball the thing shakes it so perfectly but IRL you can barely do it. More experience though and you learn how to nudge. You also learn to nudge BEFORE it goes in the dangerous area's.

He has hurt his wrist from doing "bang backs". There was this tutorial video, I forget the specific one but it was a newer STERN, that he did it. When the ball is draining he did some sort of kung-fu punch to the machine and it banged the ball from draining and went up to the flipper. Ouch.

There was a launch party for a prototype in Salem, NH at the "Pinball Wizard Arcade". I did not see him play it but he was handing out mini-trophies. Oh and WOZ is really amazing. When you drain, it isn't over as you start a mini-game to save your ball and it depends on how you drain. The LCD screen is really great as is the lighting. It's more of a wide body too and sturdy. It isn't cheap ABS plastic or some powder coated STERN, it's more of a "Funhouse" older style feel to the machine.
