My frustration would be no pinball machine to play.
 
I was having a hell of a game on my STTNG got to 10B:) and the score went back to 1B:( on the DMD finally ended on 3.3B​

Thankfully 13.3B come up on the high score , display couldnt handle double digit billion score I assume never got near that

since to test my theory.
 
............. you never quite have the right stuff to fix/shop a game and then end up having to order from 3 different suppliers because invariably no one place has everything you need in stock , and then you have to w-a-i-t for it to arrive

Really grinds my gears

"Grind's my gear's," I can see Peter Griffin now on channel 5 news reporting on what grinds his gears. Nice one, gave me a chuckle.

D.
 
Or when the orders arrive and the parts are not quite right and you have everything in pieces waiting for this one part.

But the machine resetting when I was near a high score would really annoy me.
 
Or when you finally get to portal multiball on Tron, only to discover the switch in the scoop didnt quite recognise the ball and kicks it out right when you're not expecting it!!!
 
The smell of burning electronics while you're beating the end mode / wizard mode score can be very distracting... do you turn the game off...? or do you keep playing...??? :eek:

"Give me just five more minutes, you said. Two hours ago....." Is a common cry in my house.

"How hard can it be!" is my catch phrase, followed by "damn".
 
...you are working under the playfield and a screw/bolt/washer drops into the innards of the machine and vanishes without a trace

...a ball escapes the lazy improv stop plug you sometimes fashion when raising a playfield and makes a destructive noise as it cascades through the table

...you realise soldering circuit boards is a mystical dark art and not as easy as it looks

...you list the pins you would have to sell to raise the funds for an ACDC

...you find a pin on location but after dropping the cash in realise it is unplayable

...you hit your thigh on the gun from IJ/STTNG as you walk past - 'kin hurts, same spot every bloody time!

I always did this on my IJ when I first got it. In the end I used to put a white sock over it to make it more visible.

As opposed to "cant it be 5 mins longer" for other scenarios;)

I reckon that when these pins with guns were designed nobody bothered with "risk assessments". Those were the days!

I spend my days doing risk assessments, I want some danger when I get home and play.

Ha ha. I bet you there's nothing you enjoy more of an evening than running around the house holding a pair of scissors!!
 
That bloody gun on IJ ripped my new coat a few weeks ago. Just bought the damn thing that day too. Grrr......
