Why Such A Huge CP?!?

Pages: (1/4) > >>

FrizzleFried:

I've often wondered as I was browsing through the various CP's that people have just why in god's name do people make them SO FRIGGIN BIG.  By BIG I mean DEEP.  There is like 100 yards of real estate from front to back on some of those CP's...

...well,  I now have my answer...

While playing an intense game of World Championship Bowling Deluxe,  I really put my shoulder in to it and let loose on the trackball with all my might...knowing that I only had approximately 9-10 inches before plexi I instinctively "pulled up",  only to jam my middle finger on the friggin' bottom overhang of the marquee effectively breaking a bone.

I sit here with a swollen middle finger pondering the whole huge CP question...and it's answer....in pain...ugg.

No doubt, I'm surprised by some of the swings people take. Take a look at a goldenTee machine - it has a sloped piece of glass. It would be hard to stub your finger on it.

I really busted my finger pretty good on a slikstik cabinet. Both the finger and spinner made a crunching noise afterwords.

FrizzleFried:

Prior to this incident,  I had stubbed my right ring finger on the damn P2 joystick...had countless times jammed my hand against the plexi (which HAS a slope...but not enough)... and had "nicked" the marquee overhang a couple times.

I think I like SHUUZ! better...it needs a delicate touch.

Do ultra hard rolls really make a difference in World Championship Bowling?  I used to roll really hard but I found I was getting the same scores rolling normally (and fewer "grandma's teeth" hehe).

I'm in the process of building a three sided cocktail cab with the trackball on to of the glass. What can I say I like GT. ;D
