Does anyone else sit on a stool whilst playing Pinball? Just tried it for the first time and managed to get a new high score on WOZ! I had the bar stool on its highest setting which still makes your view a little lower than standing, and you have to move your right knee a little when plunging, but apart from that it felt fine, the new high score goes to prove it. Light nudging was still possible and SDTM were easier to see/prevent as your view is a little lower. I did tw@ my left knee getting on the stool so need a little more practice at that.
 
Never tried it myself, always thought of pinball as a sport and not a game.

Most sports you need to standup for whereas you sit down to play games.

(I'll need to bring that up later with my wife and her horse riding, after a few drinks)!
 
I wouldn't mind giving it a bash although I'm very animated when I play so not sure it'd work for me
 
I tried it the other night on TAF as it was turning into quite a long session. Didn't like it at all. Nowhere to put my knees and the low angle makes it hard to judge shots. I think there's a sweet spot for standing over the table, which is about 2 or 3 inches lower than my natural height :(
 
Sitting down ??!! Nah ... if I'm not jerking about having minor fits whilst swearing terrets style it's not pinball.

No way! I need the rifleman stance to get properly into it!

...why yes, I do know what a slide nudge is, what gave you that impression...
 
Seems like it isn't for everyone but it's working for me. Tried it on Metallica last night and got to a 2nd Crank It Up mode for the first time.
 
I've had some great games sat down on a bar stool it gives a completely different view to the game and makes some shots easier to hit.
Give it a try its well worth a go.
One thing you will need is a pin gulp to put your beer.

Bugger, I missed a trick there! Luckily this thread has inspired my next creation...
"Bar Stool Braces" an adapted set of braces that keep a light barstool attached to your bottom so you don't need to carry it around but it's there every time you need to sit down! Perfect for a pinball convention....:tut::cuckoo:
 
Get it up and running for next year and we'll get you a stand at Play Glasgow 2018. We can work out costs later.:thumbs:
