I've watched pro pinball players and I have no fuckin idea how they do it. When I play pinball I'm doing all I can to just not lose the ball. These people just make that ball go exactly where they want it to go and when. There actually probably is a market to watch competitive pinball.

Last night I watched half of a documentary about pro Foosball players. It was actually kinda interesting, but I got tired and couldn't do the 2nd half.

Foosball was a kinda big deal when I was clubbing and  there was always the couple of white guys at every club that took it way too seriously. Maybe an older exjock with a short mullet or a rail thin hippie loner type.They'd have a special half glove for their main shooting hand. Do all this bar flexing and rapid breathing before their signature skill shot, looking back and forth at the goal and their lil wooden man, maybe roll it in place an inch or two each way for a minute, completely unnecessarily. Wanna bes would watch in a semicircle. It was a total sausage fest. If you wanted to play your hapless boyfriend and you would do your best but they'd run the table all night. I was good for an amateur girl but still way sucked. I lost a sapphire ring taking it off to play and putting on the side with the quarters one night.

I highly doubt that Guinness keeps records for most household goods stuffed in one rear end in a top hat and I'm not sure this program was strictly necessary

Completely ruins the pace of the game when everyone is trying to pin the ball and spend 15 seconds setting up the same shot over and over. It gets around the 'no spinning' rule by being a 'controlled spin' of only 360°. I'm just jealous that I can't do it and don't have a cool little glove

always impressed at people who can still live like it's 18 years ago, anyway anyone ever see that adam sandler movie where he plays golf? I bet people who like this would love that one. Never seen it myself, but I knew a guy from Kansas who loved to quote it. Anyway, I got a real good one for ya, you ready? GEORGE W BUSH

Athanatos posted:Grocery Bagging Now! When I used to work grocery/retail, we used to joke about this kind of thing all the time. We never knew it was real but I always suspected it probably was. The way we imagined it was like as some kind of underground fight club/street racing scene where the competitions took place in abandoned supermarkets with high stakes and hot women. "I live my life a quarter aisle at a time."

Ventral EggSac posted:Hmm when I would play we had a rule that you couldn't spin them upside down I think the official Foosball rules state that the man can't do more than a 360 degree rotation or something like that. Since they're starting with the man pinning the ball, the amount of rotation with the snake shot is only 340 degrees.

It ain't a sports channel if you aren't watching it on a bootleg Russian stream; speaking of which, anyone have a link to one? I want some Pro Pinball in my life.
