I'm in. Thanks to Grimgroove for the giveaway contest; +1.

Hmmm... I work in community mental health and had this one patient who liked in a trashed trailer out towards the middle of nowhere with debris in the yard and an occassioanl suspicious dog. I'd have to go out and meet this person, with paranoid delusions, each week and try to convince him to go get his injection. The guy was typically laid back often just wanting to hang out at his home and never poorly mannered or aggressive. Each time I went by I'd gently try to convince him to go get his medication. Although it was never a problem, each time walking up to the trailer I was always scared out of my wits by the backwoods atmosphere and oddness of the situation.

grimgroove: Yes, the game you proposed is indeed the best PC Pinball Game.

That is, in a parallel universe that has no Balls of Steel. That universe is also knows as the Sewer System of Hell.

I'm talking about Balls of Steel here young man, not about Paper Circles floating around.
I am just poking fun, its just that I had history with this pinball game while I was living in Missouri with my mom while she was still in the Army and she bought me this game for me to play on her old Windows 98 Desktop. I was like 6-7 years old at the time, so basically this was my first official PC game.

Where and when did you live in Missouri?
Not In, but:

I've got big balls
I've got big balls
They're such big balls
And they're dirty big balls
And he's got big balls
And she's got big balls
But we've got the biggest balls of them all

I don't remember where, but all I remember was being in a neighborhood for army soldiers and their children which I also go to Kindergarten school for kids of Soldiers, Do remember the driving trip to school and seeing props of Military vehicles like planes and tanks. As to when I say around 1998-9 perhaps I was still a little kid back than.

EDIT: I asked my mother it was in Springfield.

Anecdote: I remember when I was taking the drivers license exam, something went wrong right before my group was examined. I remember a raging examiner screaming ''who's next?'' at my group. I volunteered to be next. The test was difficult but I managed to pass it and now I have my drivers license!
I'm in

My balls of steel moment in recent history: At my job i defended some people during a meeting who where being wrongfully attacked by some collegues and while defending them I mentioned all the bad things the bullies did that was counterproductive to the business. Most people just sit back and be quit during something like this and I feel I was perfectly right i what I did and say, but know I know why people pretend that they aren't there: I few weeks later I got fired. Haven't been able to find a job ever since....
Allow me to bump, and provide you with more reasons why you need Balls of Steel.

With Balls of Steel you can:

- Be a valiant warrior. Being a warrior requires balls of steel. You will hold on to them dearly when fighting sea monsters, giant ants and vultures. Can you extinguish the dragon's breath? No. Unless you have balls of steel, and you're not afraid to shove them in his ugly face. The Barbarian table offers not only challenges, but alsog reat rewards: gems with great powers as well, and for the most cunning a great treasure awaits within the citadel's walls.

- Be a modern-day hero. There is a bomber in the city. You'll need your fire-extinguishing skills. But relax. Balls of steel are non-flammable. Enter burning buildings and exit them swiftly, chase madmen on freeways and defuse bombs. It seems impossible to you? Not up your alley to visit the dark alley and confront the bad guys? Not to worry. hold on to your balls of steel and you'll be able to face all these minor dangers.

- Be a cosmonaut. Being a cosmonaut isn't always easy. You'll need to use futuristic weapons, but practice makes perfect, and balls of stele also help. you'll need them when facing hordes of bugs, big and small. Splatter those extraterrestrials and send them home. Unleash the supercannon on their hatching eggs and evacuate your friends on the space shuttle, but take care to avoid the meteors or blast them to smithereens. You can't do it? Nonsense! You've got balls of steel.

- Be a scientist, a genius bordering on the insane. Experiment with high voltages and toxic wastes. Will you find a universal cure, or will you unleash hell? no matter the answer to that question, your balls of steel will help you defeat green slimy monsters, catch their spores and charge up duplicators. Yes, duplicators. You'll have balls of steel creating mroe balls of steel. It will be one big balls of steel fest and one powerless green slimebag.

- Be Duke Nukem. Yes, you get to be Duke Nukem. Slaughter pigs and aliens, climb ramps, and... well enough said. You're Duke Nukem and this time you have time to play with yourself. And you've got balls of steel. But that goes without saying :-)
