Well, we can't blame this table (altough here the scores can grow incredibily), it was already gone to hell before( spidey tournament and all)...if it ever had any sense."The heart reveals what smiles betray" - Rise againstComment

My game just glitchedIt was my first run after reading the guides (and I think my third or fourth on this table ever).. I got the full 18 Balls, was on ball #14 with 890M.. and on my way to score my very first billion ever..
I was very carefull not to trigger any known glitches.. kept my fingers off the levitation multiball and never touched the upper left flipper, when the ball came down from the mansion.. so here is what happened:
During the game, I locked the second ball in the film reel and managed to get a skillshot after that. It was the first of the three-step-skillshot and the second I hit it, one of the balls from the film reel fell out. Since there are moments when you have to choose a phenomenon or something on the score-screen, I lost the second ball very quick and wasnt sure if that was a bug or some feature I haven´t encountered before.
Soon after that I startet the Doppleganger-Multiball and scored 1 Jackpot right away.. but since there was an empty space in the Film Reel, it turned without giving me a second ball. My first ball locked was rolling around in the triangle and now theres nothig I could do.. I waitet a while and tried tilting the game.. now it is tilt, but the ball keeps rolling around in the triangle.. so I have no way to finish it.
So even with Doppleganger there can go something wrong, but I think this bug would´ve caused problems with any of the multiballs.. if you ever encounter a situation where the game gives you a second ball without having activated a Multiball-Mode, you should think about drowning both balls an lose one of your balls rather than breaking the whole game.
I don´t think Im gonne touch this table again as long as there´s no patch
I have to add something to this story:
I loaded the savegame in the state as described above with a little spark of hope, that it somehow magically unglitched itself by now
At first everything was as I left it.. Table was on Tilt and the Ball rolling around in the triangle. I bumped it sometimes, played around in the options-menu, bumped it some more and all of a sudden, the triangle-trapped-ball disappered and the table threw a new ball into the game.. still tilt, I coulnd do anything but watch it drown, but the table registered that correctly and reset the table for the next ballI thought I could finish my game now, but no new ball ever arrived at the launcher.. it says "shoot again" and everything looks fine, just like when the next extraball is about to start, but no ball is coming in.. I tried bumping like a mad man and even managed to get both Chupacapra-Eyes in place only by bumping ^^ I got the score for that and the table doesnt tilt or anything, but still no ball in play..
Atleast all the bugs and glitches fit the theme of the table.. it´s called Paranormal for a reason!Comment

Well I finally managed to complete a game of Paranormal today - nowhere near some of the scores above but got me in the top 50 so Im happy.
Doppleganger definitely makes for a more enjoyable game than Levitation - the jackpot goes up faster and theres more action, you dont have to sit there waiting whilst that damn ball floats up and down.
Note to Zen: Floating balls are always a bad idea - Mars used to drive me mad as well....
Anyhow what I wanted to say was for all this tables (many) flaws surely the shot with the upside down flipper through the gate is one of the most satisfying in FX2?Comment
