Many men have tried the skillshot haderach

Tried and failed?

Tried and died!

on one side of the machine there is a flipper button, on the other side there is a dark box

remove your hand from the box while the ball is in play and your game is over

or maybe your Game is Over lol

the name of the machine is definitely the Gom Jabbar and features a lurid image of a poison needle jammed up against someone's neck

How do I achieve the high score and make the skillshot?

"That which submits rules"

(did op think he had been taught nothing at all?) That's a hint?

the skillshot on the Basic Instinct table is pretty risky, unless you give no fucks about exposing all the tots in Dave & Busters to Sharon Stone's hoo-ha

The extremely unpopular 1983 WarGames pinball machine includes a warning that "The only winning move is not to play." This is correct; the flippers are wired to the building mains, and even inserting a quarter is enough to trigger a massive electrical fire likely to kill everyone inside.

they don't let me play pinball anymore, i got too skilled. they said it wasn't fair. when i walked into the bar all the machines would start lighting up and giving people points and one even caught on fire. if i looka t a pinball machine win it. if i touch a pinball machione it commits suicide or marries me. thats good because i'm sexually attracted to pinball machines but also believe strongly in the Institution of Marriage.

It's true and I'm tired of pretending it isn't
On the Law and Order: SVU table, if your active character is Vincent D'Onofrio and you trigger a gang assault multiball, delay hitting the right ramp after the audio cue and you get an awkward pause bonus of 120,000,000 points. If your active character is Jeff Goldblum, you only receive a 1,000 point "phoning it in" bonus.

the reporter from citizen kane plays each day's pinball game for hours each, trying to figure out which skillshot reveals what rosebud is... in the end he learns a little about himself

i miss the concept of a high score

In the DBZ table, after losing all but your last ball, the upper level opens up where you can charge your spirit ball. It's a slow and tricky shot because the ball has an internal LED that you have to charge up by getting people to cheer you on before you can make the final shot. The table also has a thin layer of glue on it to make the ball travel really slowly.

The hit pop culture anti-colonialist critique that got me banned from at least one Stateside museum, now in Canadian.

To know pinball is to understand the way America romanticizes the dehumanization of women and othering of non-white cultures to justify a legacy of colonization and cultural appropriation.

It is also to know hope in the face of unrelenting exclusion and bigotry. Pinball, especially in the Pacific Northwest (and Ontario), is experiencing a rapid influx of women and people of color into the game, who, if given access to the massive physical resources (i.e. thousands of incomplete machines) could overturn our racist and sexist history and create a better, brighter pinball
