[http://www.playaholics.com/play/lightningpool/](http://www.playaholics.com/play/lightningpool/) Can’t get past friggin’ lightning bolt round. Once I ran out of time with one ball left, and another time I hit a bolt on a shot that would sunk the last ball. Pissed me off. ---

Yep, them bolts are killers. Fun game, though. My pool playing buddy is out of town this week, so I guess this will have to do. ---

I passed lightning bolts on the first try. Wait 'till you get to the goalkeeper one. That one’s a bitch. ---

Yeah, I’m on the goalkeeper one now, it’s tough. ---

Goal keeper’s not too bad – just don’t be afraid to take the 4 second penalties for missing a ball. ---

I’m up to level 20 now. They start repeating at level 15, IIRC, only with more difficulty. Level 20 is “Crap Table 2”, and is MUCH more difficult than “Crap Table 1”. I wonder how many levels this thing has? ---

I’m finding the game far more entertaining than it has any right to be. The two soccer levels have been the most frustrating for me so far (I’m still working on the second one). ---
