Welcome to the future. That game was off to a good start too. Alright. Wow, that thing rocketed out of there. Multiple initiates. Jackpot! Jackpot Double jackpot Triple jackpot Super jackpot And the super slimmer initial Reactor critical Reactor jackpot Reactor destroyed You're in danger for single ball play, but... Yeah, yeah, yeah. You definitely got a point there. What are you doing? Oh my gosh. Completely silly now. To the left, scoot to start reactor. Reactor online. Did that poorly? And I got robbed there. ROBBED. ROBBED. ROBBED. Wait, hey, hey, hey, off the playfield, little boy, off the playfield. Brendan, not under my... You are going to get it! Hey. Hey. Is that a balloon in here? You're gonna be busted if you put that balloon over my game, little boy. You're gonna... Oh! Oh! You wanna find out how busted? Do you really want to find out? Come here, I'll tell you. uh okay Okay There was no hot mic right I'm blocking all the instances. Reactor unlocked. Ooh, accidental four ball play. Oh, man. That didn't last. Extra ball. Reactor online. Super Trigger initialized. That was weird. I think my flipper lost power for a second. Oh, God. Jackpot. Alright Ryan, we'll uh, we'll uh, try to light the reactor and then get the multiple. Alright, your way. I remember I did it originally and then I thought, ah, I should just be a multiple all the time. I'll show you with the crazy kick-out scoop like that. The other thing is I can accidentally hit these targets and lose my triple reactor value. Like that. Go! No! Oh no! I'm not wanting to do what you were doing. Just gonna make for a fun video with the attack kind of thing. Oh, the last one I recorded, he was dancing in the background the whole time. That made me laugh. Oh. And he's a little sick, too. No. Shoot again. We're all the same. Level three. Skill shot. out of there and I want my ball safe. Man that scoop is uh wow. Okay I won't dead bounce it anymore. Oh darn. Super, super, super, super, super, super. Jackpot! Ah, what was that? You just went down and misaligned We be right back Together we can assemble a planet To a planet another more identical Positivity To your有一 erreichen Yeah, there's basically a lot of different situations for how you want to play it. Be it a multiple or not. Brandon don't get close to that. Oh, damn you Scott. and then that happens coming out of the top and that's you know so there's no guarantee of that on that scoop that you're going to get a good speed either. reason you don't want to always go up top. Oy! As I keep going up top. double jackpot that is one nice thing Scott does not a lit that is firing down the middle every time you know when you exit multiple the drop targets don't reset they stay at whatever they were at you know if I had gotten the double jackpot it doesn't reset all of them I only need one shot to... Come on. That's going all the way around. One more time for the shot. Oh yeah. I sure jerked once but I don't trust that live sketch. I had too much... Ah, I just wasted my ball save. Oh, I didn't. I've heard reports that they're doing very well on location. But it's not like there's so many out there. Oh no. Yeah, I had to do the pick. Yeah, there's a lot of hype around the game right now, so I think that's helping. Probably with the location play. Alright, I'm gonna do the cheese here, let's see. Gonna get some plunges up there. Not that one! Okay, yeah. And that's why I don't do it, I'm just not as good at the plunges as I am at flying. It's a waste of the ball doing this. All right, perfect. Good timing on the ball save. Come on, a little more. There we go. I don't know how the one at East Goge does it. I'd be curious. I'm an out-sane. But he also puts everything on 50 cents there, which I think is crazy. End of the sling. Mean game! I am meant to hit the boss in here. I'm going to keep that active. I'm not going to die. Convo. Reaction destroyed. Jackpot. Bonus multiplier increased. Oh. Conclusion there. Mystery award lit. I'm gonna have a pretty good bonus now too, I should work on getting those multipliers. Make sure I'm getting the multipliers. I can't remember how many tilt warnings I have. Was this game or the last game? I don't remember this ball or the last ball I mean. Hey Waxo, thanks for following! Welcome! Take it. Ah, perfect! Now I know I have at least one. I'm going to use it right now. Alright, save that. I love when I do that. Oh no. I almost didn't get that. Oh, but it would have given it back to me. Ball saved. Still needed it. Bonus multiplier increased. That scoop is really becoming unpredictable Hey Art Thanks for the follow Jackpot! Double jackpot! Let me just start going for that. Alright, got it. Jackpot! Jackpot! Double jackpot! Alright, let's strike this 4x reactor right here. There we go. A triple point for the reactor. And that's it for the skull. I just want to bail out there. I need to get control here. Alright, there we go. I'll get the 8 million points. My bonus will be there. I already had a 10 million points. Once. We'll get there. What's the lion man award? It's just a joke award. All right. Crucial plunge right there. Come on. No, stay up there. Another tilt warning. That makes two I've got. Let's cheese this like a... Cheese it like Bowen. There, I said it. and it got me a tiny little bit keep it up there keep it up there one more hit there we go scoop robbery that's what that was oh boy my monitor is losing the sync on the Makes you my splitter again My audio here keeps cutting out. I don't know how the stream does Always good or not Do you hear any blips occasionally with audio just an audio video cut out completely? Open what you mean that was doing that? Alright, yeah, because here, I mean, my monitor goes blank and my audio goes completely dead, occasionally. I know it's at HDMI splitter. I mean... I have a couple different models of them and only one of them worked. I think I had three different types. I'm gonna keep trying until one would actually sync up. Good, thanks guys. Appreciate the uh... you letting me know. Oh no. Oh, that was a horrible loop pass. Oh no! I know I have two warnings though. From my words. all right I'm just multiplying that why did I do that I should have let that drain because of something like that happening that was dangerous I should have taken the easy slow drop into the scoop Alright, one target here, get the D, get the D, get the D. Alright, boom. Alright. Shoot the grid. Alright. Light my ball save if I get a chance. I was going to go for the super, but that's fine. Come on, get moving. Oh good, a little bit of grace here isn't it? I like I said I hate hitting this target from here because it's going straight down the middle of the town I could get this uh right target here I could go for the mystery or do a loop pass. What's up? I don't know. Not too many. What time is it? Maybe 15 to 20 minutes. Maybe one more game after this if I don't do it here. All right. Decision. Decision. I went for the dangerous one. And I'm back on the slipper. I'm going to shoot the react. I'm going to try to shoot the scoop. I got the target. The Death Worker's Case. Oh, nice. Alright, get up top so I can start the reactor. Come on, stay up there. I want a nice easy feed here. Perfect. Good enough. Alright, up top is the key here. Stay! Let's do it again. Bowen's fault. Bowen's fault. I'm saying it's Bowen's fault. It's smart dumb play, apparently. because uh... not my style to do that, that's the last time I did that Oh, God. Wow! That hit the left sling, not even the right... Yeah, that went down to here from the scoop. I almost got what? I know, I know I got 12. Oh come on you can stay up there Paul. Oh come on, there we go. Come on, hit a couple more. Perfect. Alright mystery word Wow Oh, come on, Carl. Secret skill shot? What? What? They gave me the secret skill shot. I will have to show Scott that, apparently. I'll take the ball safe. Um, I'm just going to let this drain. Give it back. I know, Brendan. I know. I know. Let me be right now. Current multiplier increased. Alright, that's fine, that's fine. Reactor destroyed. That's fine. Low value, big deal. Wow, 253. That would have been 750,000. Alright! Start multiball, wailing those targets. Brendan, I want to focus right now. Actually, Brendan.
