We're just going to press the start button and go. If you're offended by cursing, now would be the time to stop. Not all the animations are in here by a long shot, and neither is all the speech. Probably 20% if we're lucky. Welcome to the party! I missed the skill shot! Not off to a good start for a video shoot. If you ever want to do a video demonstration for pinball, try putting a camera on it and see how hard it is. Alright, we just shot the mode launch up top. This is collecting fried chicken and gasoline with Captain Spaulding. One of the easier modes if you can get into a rhythm with it. Now we gotta hit them three times. And then, there we go. That's right. Jackpot for this. You shoot up top and pass balding again. There we go. Oh! I was hosed. Oh, one last shot. Quick, go, go, go. Ah, lost it. Tried, tried. Okay, red hot is lit. And I just collected it. Red orbit. Totally by accident, but I'll take it. See the inner loop, or the inner orbit is open, so you now have five beautiful flow shots again I going to let a ball drain here so we can go on to the next ball Whoa! Oh, I missed the secret passage. I thought I was going to catch it. It wasn't fast enough. There's a killer collected on the right. If I can hit it. Ah! Missed it. There we go Collected our edging card I'm having fun Alright, going for the living dead girl targets There we go The dead girl Now, every time we hit those coffin targets Up there in the center You can add a ball I got the right one, I need the left, stop and target. There we go, I hit a ball and lost one at the same time. Okay, ball save gets it back, well briefly, and I lost it again. There are rattle shots up in there. You can get... Oh! I have collected two killer cards. Hey, we're doing all right. Let's go start another mode if we can. Ah! Okay, ball saves. We're lucky. World grossest ball save animation Here we go Start another mode Let try that was way hard Let try Super Beast This is a ramp mode Now I can stay up top and collect points or increase the jackpot, bonus multiplier, whatever you want to call it. Depending on the mode. But it also cuts into your time, so... And if I could hit the ramp for any reason right now, that would be a great thing. Before I run out of time. I would love to show you this mode. And I'm not going to. There was another one. Oh, he did it. Oh, he did it. Oh, he did it. Oh, did some robot damage, but didn't kill him. You get a million points and you light extra ball if you beat him. Ball's raining out the right side. It'll come back, I hope. Come on, come on, come on. Oh! I was robbed. Clearly that sucked. Missed the skill shot. Okay, let's cheat and show you a couple more modes here. We're going to knock down the drop target three times. Ed Boon. All right. Now we can shoot the House of a Thousand Corpses. I'll try to hit it with the flipper. I'm going to, so I'm just going to throw it. Because I've got the glass off and I can cheat to do that. There's one. There's two. There's a thousand corpses. Now we're going through the tunnel as you can see on the view screen when it comes up. And you're trying to collect a thousand switch hits. So we going to give you seven balls to do it You can also steal corpses from other players And it basically you want to be the person who gets 2 corpses first I got about 10% of them. I'm not having a great multiball mode here. I need to do better now. That's 1,000 corpses. 177 Oh, nice inner orbit shot Nice ramp shot Nice ramp Wall stage is lit, that'll keep it going Another killer card collected Orbit Oh Oh! Oh! Oh! I blew it on the fast right orbit! Now we gotta start all over. Alright, I hit that target. Ah! There we go. Nope. Not hard enough. Lost it. And it's getting right down the middle. That was a miserable. Hey, look at this. I got a C... Blah, blah, blah. We'll just go C-E. I don't care. We're gonna be changing this anyway. T-E-Z good enough and here's your match animation and that's it there's a whole lot more modes I have not shown you in this game there are six main modes, four sub modes lots of action, it's a fun fast weird game and I kind of like it so we hope you do too thanks for watching the video and goodnight everybody _(Acquisition: youtube_groq_whisper, Enrichment: v3)_ --- *Exported from Journalist Tool on 2026-04-13 | Item ID: 043f197a-af69-4164-b26f-508c735b531b*
