Hi, my name is Chris and the pie factory touches me inappropriately every night.
(I can't take much more of this!)
-
Just did my pb
first death 5-2
second death 7-2
third death 7-2
last death 8-2
I think I see a pattern :)

lol, signing in...

My skin is seriously starting to crawl every time the pie factory comes up...
-
after today I'm joining this crap shoot!
-
When I die on the rivets, even when it's a semi-screwing, I can usually say "I could have done 'x'," or "if I had paid more attention, I would have tried to weave instead," or whatever.
I always feel more helpless on conveyors. When they shoot out of the oil can as if they're racing each other to the bottom, a lot of the time there is literally nothing you can do! You're just gonna die, and that's it. It feels more unfair than anything else in the game.
-
For this longest time I didn't worry about the PF screens at all. During the wildcard rematch 2, they screwed me hard all day. Now I fear them. How can we cope with this? Is there anything we can do?

If one pie factory death per game is considered average, then I suppose I have average luck with that particular stage. However, I would very much like to join the support group, if free doughnuts are provided. Glazed blueberry are my favorite, for whoever might be hosting the meetings.
EDIT: My doughnut preference should not be confused with the blueberry filled variety. Completely different animal.

After working for a long time for a decent start, pie factory 5-2 always seems to want to abuse me in the worst of ways... I am going insane, this particular pie factory is giving me PTSD.
-
I hear ya. Don't go insane. Don't let the machine win. You will win in the end.

I tend to have 2 out of 4 of my deaths happen on PFs during a serious game. However, I have noticed that practicing jumping fireballs doing the Bottom Girder Challenge has helped quite a bit for the situations when you really have no chance to bypass fireballs that immediately descend to the bottom to surround you. I got 494k while at Tim McVey's hows this last weekend (after being at 380k on my second man :-\ ), and in it I had probably the worst PF screwings of my life, but I survived a few of them by making use of a few well-timed fireball jumps. But, yeah... trying to find a quick opening to scuttle past the 'crowders' on the bottom conveyor is much more preferable.
