Cracked 6 Billion on WCS today!

Just finished a very long game than ended with me getting the newest HSTD, Just a touch over 6Billion which beat my previous high score of 4.5billion and you need 2.5bill+ to get your name in. I had several good games in a row but each game ended around 1 billion, on the score breaking game i lost my first ball at 1 billion but still had 2 extra balls, 1 from the second TV mode and collected one from the striker award. I started multi-ball about 6 times on the way and milked the victory laps pretty hard and then snatched another extra ball after lighting it when i got to Washington. I eventually got to the World Cup Final and beat Germany 7-5. I used a new tactic all together and only focused on the right flipper, id plunge a ball, take a shot @ goal, plunge a ball, take a shot @ goal etc etc. It gets very stressful if you miss too many in a row and Germany get even or in front! I never noticed how much the light show throws you off during the world cup final either, the lights go from fully on to completely off and then half the playfield will be lit and half not etc, these cycles all happen pretty quickly and it kind of stuns you. After i beat Germany i tried not to get in the zone that "ah Ive done it, Ive beaten the game" and lose focus, instead i kept trying to re-light multi-ball and milk more victory laps and the 250mill for beating Germany.

I have also been practising and trying to stop making what i call "nothing shots", shots with no purpose and shots being made just for the sake of hitting the ball. I have been trying to control the ball a lot more and having a target for each shot. I have always kind of done this but still made "nothing shots" which usually led to me getting a bad bounce and a drain.

Just quickly i had a good game on shadow today and got 3 shots away from winning the final battle, damn its intense..

Anyway i didn't mean on writing this much but just got carried away =) I love both of these games!
