Hard rolls don't make the game play better, it makes ME feel better! Similar to how I'll actually shift my body to simulate the movements on screen(yeah, I'm one of those guys).

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

The GT cab may be sloped, but the ease of stubbing your finger on the panel raises exponentially with the amount of alcohol consumed. I say this from plenty of experience.  ;)

I also am one of those guys. A couple years ago in Wal-Mart. There was a little kid (about 7 or 8 I guess) who also was one of those guys playing a PS2 demo game. The screen was up about 8 foot high on a shelf, so the kid had to have his neck cranked straight up to see the screen. He was jerking all over the place as he played. Then apparently he wanted his character to go backwards, so he jerked back as he normally would. But the force of the jerk combined with looking straight up was too much for the kid. He went flying straight back into the shelves behind him. He sat there for about 10 seconds, looked at me, and then got up and ran off crying. I feel bad for laughing at a kid, but it was hilarious.

...yah I know...but harder rolls make the pin sounds louder and I like loud pin sounds...

...or something like that.

It happens with Golden Tee too...but my friends all suck at Golden Tee,  especially when intoxicated...so we always end up playing Shuuz or Bowling...

I think this may be a good time to ask a question that went unanswered a few weeks back.

I want my track ball the same height as the glass on my cocktail table and i want to know if a 1/4' lip of glass around the edge of the mounting plate would be a problem or should I have the glass shop cut a 3" hole for the trackball to stick up from? The second idea leaves a small rounded 1/8 edge all around the the trackball itself.  

I don't want to highjack the tread but it seemed like the right time to ask.
