# Jurassic Park (Stern) Pro - Part 1 **Source:** Don't Panic Flip **Type:** video **Published:** 2019-11-15 **Duration:** 72m 32s **Beat:** Pinball **URL:** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWHEtOMlyRU --- ## Analysis George from Don't Panic Flip streams gameplay of Jurassic Park (Stern) Pro, attempting to crack a billion points or reach King of the Island Multiball. He discusses game mechanics, shot difficulty, firmware limitations (Visitor Center unavailable), and converses with chat about upcoming tournaments (Pinberg, Texas Pinball Festival), local arcade locations, and pinball community events. The stream includes multiple games with varying success and extensive off-topic banter about movies, music, and tournament experiences. ### Key Claims - [HIGH] Visitor Center mode is not yet enabled due to missing firmware update — _George stated at the beginning: 'We still don't have any updated firmware, unfortunately, to enable Visitor Center, so that's not something we're going to be trying for.'_ - [MEDIUM] George struggles to hit the left ramp consistently, succeeding only about 10% of the time when he misses — _George noted: 'you're seeing this little flippy duty thing here that you're going to hit from the upper right flipper...the left ramp, which for whatever reason, about 80% of the time I can hit 90% of the time. But that other 20% of the time, I only hit it about 10% of the time.'_ - [HIGH] Mode and multiball stacking is not possible on Jurassic Park currently — _George stated: 'They need to make it where you can both start a mode and start T-The Rex at the same time, since both were lit. All right. We got our supply drop and our add a ball. Don't get cheap on the jackpot. Don't get cheap, but we got 2x scoring going on. We cannot start a mode while that is active. Very frustrating.'_ - [HIGH] Pinberg tournament is very well-organized and managed for its scale — _George praised: 'Pinberg is managed so, so well. So if you guys haven't done it...for a thousand person tournament, it goes off without a hitch. It's so great.'_ - [HIGH] George's goal for 2020 is to attend bigger tournaments and perform better than his 2019 Pinberg experience — _George stated: 'My goal for 2020 is make it to the bigger shows and actually do something in there the tournaments instead of Boozy Disaster. That was Pinberg 2019.'_ - [MEDIUM] George was told he's being 'dragged' to Pinberg next year — _George mentioned: 'I was told i was basically getting dragged to Pinberg next year.'_ - [HIGH] George's wife has set a condition that Pinberg is the only major traveling pinball tournament he can do annually — _George stated: 'My wife let me know in no uncertain terms that if I want to do Pinberg again, that will be the only really big traveling pinball thing that I do every year. Because I did a ton of stuff last year.'_ ### Notable Quotes > "They need to make it where you can both start a mode and start T-The Rex at the same time, since both were lit." > — **George (Don't Panic Flip)**, ~12:00 > _Highlights a game design issue where mode and multiball cannot stack, which George views as a limitation_ > "Pinberg is managed so, so well. So if you guys haven't done it, um, what's his name? Uh, Bowen Kerins and a group, I'm guessing, of other developers...for a thousand person tournament, it goes off without a hitch. It's so great." > — **George (Don't Panic Flip)**, ~1:43:00 > _Explicit praise for Pinberg tournament organization and acknowledgment of Bowen Kerins' involvement_ > "My goal for 2020 is make it to the bigger shows and actually do something in there the tournaments instead of Boozy Disaster. That was Pinberg 2019." > — **George (Don't Panic Flip)**, ~1:33:00 > _Reveals personal tournament performance goals and self-aware humor about 2019 experience_ > "My wife let me know in no uncertain terms that if I want to do Pinball again, that will be the only really big traveling pinball thing that I do every year." > — **George (Don't Panic Flip)**, ~1:35:00 > _Personal constraint on tournament travel frequency negotiated with spouse_ > "Wrong lever, Kronk!" > — **George (Don't Panic Flip) / Chat reference**, ~1:49:00 > _Cultural reference to Emperor's New Groove used when George hits wrong shot, becomes running joke in stream_ ### Entities | Name | Type | Context | |------|------|---------| | George | person | Host of Don't Panic Flip stream, pinball player and content creator | | Bowen Kerins | person | Acknowledged by George as organizer/developer involved in managing Pinberg tournament | | Jurassic Park | game | Stern pinball machine being played (Pro model), features discussed include modes, ramps, multiball mechanics | | Stern | company | Manufacturer of Jurassic Park pinball machine | | Pinberg | event | Major pinball tournament in Pittsburgh with approximately 1,000 participants, praised for organization | | Texas Pinball Festival | event | Pinball expo/tournament mentioned multiple times; George mentions booking trip and Texas location | | Next Level | company | Pinball venue in Portland-Beaverton area; George praised by Sari and Dirty Toes for the experience | | Game Exchange | company | Arcade venue in Denver hosting Big Pin Golf tournament in February or March | | Midwest Gaming Pinball Expo | event | Regional pinball expo approximately 1.5 hours from George's location | | Postmodern Jukebox | product | Music playlist George created for stream background music | | Don't Panic Flip | organization | George's streaming channel | ### Topics - **Primary:** Jurassic Park (Stern) game mechanics and playability, Firmware update status and missing Visitor Center mode, Pinball tournament planning and attendance - **Secondary:** Pinberg tournament organization and experience, Local pinball venues and arcade locations, Pinball streaming and content creation, Community social dynamics and tournament culture ### Sentiment **Positive** (0.72) — George is enthusiastic about the game and community, frequently praising the game's design and tournament organization.

We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. Thank you. We'll see you next time. Thank you. Hello! My name is George, and this show is Don't Panic Flip. Tonight, we are playing some Jurassic Park. Our goal is going to be either to... Sean X, welcome to the stream. Our goal is going to be to either crack a billion or get to King of the Island Multiball. I am very happy with either of those. We still don't have any updated firmware, unfortunately, to enable Visitor Center, so that's not something we're going to be trying for. Wolfman! Welcome to the stream! Unfortunately, SeanX posted moments before you. But, you're here nonetheless, and that's what counts. Let's show off what we're playing here this evening. That's right, we are playing some Jurassic Park Excited, I haven't played this in a little bit Totally space cleaning it, which I think if you were here early on you got to see that happen Second post is first place loser What? What? He cheats like me Speaking about that, I should check Alright, Tilt Bob's in We, uh, in my opinion, Batman 66 was set a little bit too tight last night. We tilted out multiple times. Alright. Here we've got music, I've got the chat thingy up over here. I think we're... oh, you know what, we don't have... I think this thing is set for, uh, to actually play the music. So we need to go to speech, uh, sorry, music attenuation. Which is right about halfway through, if I remember correctly. There it is. Music attenuation. And we want to turn this up. And that will kill the music, but leave all of the callouts. And here we go. Minnesota pinball, exactly. Like this, actually, it looks to me to be about the same, which is... That is really loud. There we go. Introduce story. And if you guys haven't checked this game out yet, it's... Also, I'm just going to ignore the first people that posted. I'm first. Look next to my name. You are. It says first, just to the left of your name. Wow, that does seem pretty loud. Yes. FYI, Twitch is kind of dead right now. People be watching Mandalorian. Wax, welcome to the stream. I'm still trying to finish up watching Amazon's Jack Ryan Season 2. I know it's been out for a while, but the wife and I can only watch like one episode a night. And we are not done yet. I think we've got one or two more episodes. But all right, let's do this. Quick walk around the field. You've got this shot here, which is lit with the sea. That is what initiates your control room. You have the raptor cage, which is how you get to raptor multiball. You've got this little flippy duty thing here that you're going to hit from the upper right flipper. Then you've got an upper loop, which is actually really hard to hit. You've got then the left ramp, which for whatever reason, about 80% of the time I can hit 90% of the time. But that other 20% of the time, I only hit it about 10% of the time. Like, it takes some weird amount of time. There was a lot of percentages there. Hopefully I didn't lose anybody. But it's actually really hard to find that shot sometimes. It's not at a standard position on the flipper. The middle orbit just goes around. That's a pretty simple shot. You've then got the Nauta Jeep in the center. exclamation point rave we got a rave insomniac welcome to the stream i will allow you to provide me with entertainment while i de-solder half of this game plan mpu oh yes pink ninja man welcome to the stream everybody here is saying they were first here i'm just waiting for pink ninja man to say the same uh i haven't done the updates yet for roboctopus the earliest we'll see those would probably be over the weekend, so for Monday's stream next week. Yeah, but keep playing with the colors, you guys, and if you have more suggestions, let me know. You've got the Nata Jeep in the center. That determines which path you take on this map over here. Right now, we're going to go to the right, which means we're going to hit the Brachiosaurus Park as opposed to the Gallimimus Park if we get it to spin to the left before we start the next mode. You've got the set trap targets to the right and left of that. You've got that sneaky little shot up for Chaos, uh, Smart Missile, or the Amber target in the back. You've got the pops. You've got the right ramp. You've got the right, like, hardest shot in pinball-style orbit that is really tough to get. And then finally, you've got the helipad shot over here, which is a really fun shot. And normally, I am first. Not today, though. It's fine. Not, uh, it's, it doesn't matter. as long as everybody's here. That's all that matters. Also, we've got Postmodern Jukebox on. I threw together a little playlist, so we've got a ton of Postmodern Jukebox to listen to. Gonna be hard to roll the pinball machine. It is square and heavy. Well said, sir. And it's okay, Pink. Sometimes I gotta take the spot. Yes. Lord Howard Hurts, welcome to the stream. Tickets to InDisc booked. This is it. Don't get scared now. Do not get scared. You've got in-disc. Alright. You can backhand this left ramp. That is not how you do it. Hold on. We'll take a couple of shots here. it is insanely difficult to backhand so we're not going to do it yeah I get like 10 sick days a year glad to have some backup that is awesome control room is sneaky hard too and it is the sea in chaos so you have to make an effort for it All right, here we go. First set trap. The Nata Jeep is pointed in a funny direction. It's going to make that a little harder, and we couldn't even tap it just then. That's frustrating. But we got it there. All right, now it looks like we've got the pickup on the left, right ramp rather, and we're going to get a smart missile. Now, the smart missiles are actually awesome now. And Minnesota Pinball is going to be an in-disc. Ah! There we go. First capture. Beautiful. Now we've got plus 200,000 to all streaks, which is just going to get us more points. Now we're ready for a multiball. We cannot start a mode while that is active. Very frustrating. They need to make it where you can both start a mode and start T-Rex at the same time, since Both were lit. All right. We got our supply drop and our add a ball. Don't get cheap on the jackpot. Don't get cheap, but we got 2x scoring going on. We've got a jackpot on the control room. Got it. Oh, no. I kind of just let that drop. That's fine. I don't like that multiball anyways. We need one more letter here. And we have a control room ready. That's fine. a nice little really dirty pass there. Alright, now we are ready to start our next mode, but the Nauti-Jeep is pointing left. Let's see here. Faye wants Don't Panic Flip to score 1 billion on Jurassic Park. Thank you, Faye. I'm not sure if you're on. Let's see here. Maybe they don't want mode and multiball stacking. I personally am a huge fan of mode and multiball stacking. That's why I love pirates. That's with I love how pirates works. Nothing blocks anything else. Pink Ninja Man, I agree. And I think that is the target. That's the goal of every game like that is to be able to do it. But it is way more complicated to code it. There we go. We got the Nata Jeep. Oh, wow. And that is twice we've backhanded that. That was kind of a backflip, though. So we wanted to spin the Nata Jeep over to the right. Hold on a sec here. So you might be asking why I would want to move the Jeep over to the right if I'm not trying to get to Visitor Center. Well, beyond the fact that I want to crack a billion points on this, which we haven't done yet, we've gotten really close, I want to get to King of the Island Multiball, and that is going to be on the second T-Rex symbol, which is Spinosaurus. Apparently that's a Spinosaurus, it's not a T-Rex. So there's a rescue. We got another rescue. Perfect. Now we want to hit the set trap. Kind of miss. And we can actually grab this S over here. Let's try that S again, shall we? Ugh! Now we're going to hit the set trap. Got it. Got our escape. And... We captured our Ankylosaur. yes I have coded but never even considered how pinball code all meshes together someday I want to leer I'm just reading it how it's being typed am I in fact hearing a 30s jazz rendition of all-star by smash mouth Lord Howard Hurts, thank you for noticing, and yes, you are hearing postmodern jukebox. I almost put on a tie, if you can believe it. All right! Left Ramp! I was really going for the helipad shot, struggling to find it there. I can't sing along with any of this. Not that I should sing along, but I don't know how she's going to sing it. Hittin' it That kid dumb So much to do so much to see so what wrong with taking the back streets You never know if you don go There we go. There we go. Crap, I went, I wasn't paying attention to the direction the Nata Jeep was going. Alright, let's see if we can start chaos here. Got it. So... So... All right, so what we want to do is get up into those pops there. Give me an addable! Addable! So, while you're in chaos, the addable... Oh, wow, that was perfect. Rescue unsuccessful. That was just bad. Pony-oni. Alright. Still got the old wiggle post under the upper flip. Ah, no, no, no. I screwed that down beforehand. And Dice, welcome to the stream. Greetings, pinheads. Once you get into the pops, you just don't stop. I wish that was the case. Because we would have gotten an edible. But we didn't. Got it. Oh, come on. How did that not hit that? And there goes the first game. Codeman TV, welcome to the stream. So, really struggling to hit that second set trap target just then. It's fine. That's the first game. We're just warming up. We didn't... We kind of moved the game a hair. It's pretty good. Like, right there. There we go. Alright. Round two. Here we go. Welcome to our new assistant game board. In a very new, we've spent no expense. Man, like I said, sometimes... Oh my gosh. Really struggle to find that right ramp shot. Really, game? We just got ball search There we go Woo Found the shot though Here we go Let's see if we can hit the C And the rescue at the same time And I'm stuck in love Get up there, come on! Alright, let's hit A rescue. Oh my gosh. Let's hit A rescue, left ramp. There we go, that was dirty. Very dirty. Restoring. Restoring. Now we're ready for a multiball. Oh, my gosh. There we go. Hit a shot. We're like one for ten right now. All right. We got our add-a-ball. Here we go, right ramp! Uh, looks like we need something. Here we go, same thing. There it is. Oh my gosh. We need to hit the O right now to finish. There we go. Alright, can we stage that flipper? We kind of can. Wow, that's... Oh, that was weak. Game. Game. Uh... Pinsomniac says, What is your next tournament? The Pinsomniac. Uh... That is a good question. I think that's the Big Pin Golf one in Denver at Game Exchange in February or March. How often do I do well on Jurassic Park? 60% of the time. 100% of the time. I love that. A skill search is a backhanded compliment in a way. Means you're keeping good control of the ball. That was a nice wiggle, but no dangers. I feel like we haven't tilted out yet on this. It was obviously very, very controlled, right? There we go. Control room and a C. Let's go Virus Attack. This is a Unix system. Here we go. Up the center. There we go. And a smart missile. Let's see if we can complete all of the chaos targets here. Nice and clean. Right there. Ugh! Don't. There we go. Not a smart missile. This is a mode... Oh, crap. We went to the left again. All right, here we go. Hey! Hey! There we go. This is not good. Hey. And we got a danger. But, I mean, at least we showed that the tilt bob is installed, Wolfman. Lions, this weekend, pin golf Friday, main event Saturday. Okay. And all I've got this weekend is practice. I need quite a bit more practice before I can embarrass myself in front of the pros. I get that. All right. Man, I am just hitting everything right where you're not supposed to. Looks like we've got another rescue there, but totally missed it. There's our rest... there's an escape! There's our A. There's our A. And now we need the O. Now we're in a T-Rex chase. Did that count? No, that is totally not gonna count. That's great. No, I mean, that is just fitting. To be slightly off on every shot. I feel like we just need a beer or something to adjust. Ziggs, wait. All I've got this weekend is practice. I need quite a bit more practice before I can embarrass myself in front of the pros. Zigzagging through the map might get you the highest score, especially since Visitor Center isn't programmed yet. And yeah, Don't Panic Flip totally didn't beat Lefkoff ever. It was, yeah. Amazing player. Amazing player. I got to play with him in a group, and then Donovan's step in a group. No, no, no, I don't want... I do not want competition mode. There's one. Two. There we go. All right, first mode. We're off to the left. We're going to be in the Gallimimus Park this time. Yeah, seriously. No joke. All right, I mean, that felt pretty good there. That was a very successful combination of shots. We captured Gallimimus perfectly. That was... Nice and easy here. Right up. We're going to start the next mode, which is the Triceratops. Here we go. Nice and easy rescue there. And left ramp. Wow. So close. Left ramp. There it is. Set trap. And a smart missile. Oh, Jesus. Yes. I like how you styled your hair. Sari, welcome to the stream. And thank you. I gave it... I mean, it was a significant effort. Got it that time Too bad I missed it Completely And there we go We're going to bring a T-Rex into this mode Because apparently we need a T-Rex To help fight a Triceratops Check out that dabbing narwhal Oh, my God. On a crazy train Crazy train On a crazy train And all my friends Are going to die On a crazy train On a crazy train All right. We are done with that multiball. Triceratops is done. Let's go ahead and hit that C and start a control room. Done. You kind of love I, it. You kind of love it, yes. I think we're going to get another one, and we're going to have to do another contest to see if you guys can guess what it is. Now you have an idea. When I say random, I mean very random. So I'm still trying to figure out what it is we're going to do, but I know the action. I just don't know the creature, if that makes sense. Now, so we hit one of those shots, and then we have to hit the control room shot. Which I missed. Yep, this is jazzy time Harry Potter. Feels pretty good. There we go. It going to be me isn it What happened to that tiny little horn part It's a narwhal! It's a dabbing narwhal! What on earth is this music, Dirty Toes? This is a post-modern jukebox. Um And the second one isn't a hot dog Eating a hot dog Pick Ninja Man I forgot about that We need outer spacey Tracy I feel like In order to have that conversation Alright smart missile Come on let's hit this We got this we do not have that uh now what are we doing oh we need oh yeah we need white characters apparently there's an a did we get the extra we got the extra ball okay yeah but what is it that's the I had three of them and it's supposed to be dabbing and then going off the stream like that like you're dabbing out which is why it was called dabbing out but I wanted to keep the Sari because there were 85 cute corgo bits lying around you're amazing thank you I don't know what I'm doing right now Thank god we got that extra ball, otherwise this would not be a profitable round. Bits of corgi sound horrifying. I was thinking the same thing, Dias, but anyway, it's supposed to be dabbing and then making your way off the... out of the picture. Anyway, what I need, I need to get... I need to open up a fourth slot, is what I need. And then I'll be able to do them all. Alright, we need the O to work our way towards Chaos. That is crazy that that missed. It really is, because that was perfect! That shot is so hard. All right, now we need the S. Got it. Now we're going to start a mode. Yes! And then we're going to hit Chaos. That was a good mode. Good mode, people. Good mode. Exactly! And you just, you exit scene. End scene. It's your narwhal saying, alright, I'mma head out. Yes. Alright, chaos! Mofo, let's do this! Ugh! Ugh. This is not good. There it is. So we really want to get the ball in the pops. Because as I think Dice said earlier, once you pop, you cannot stop. And that is, quite figuratively, what happens in this game. Is you end up getting, uh, add-a-balls. I was definitely not paying enough attention. Here we go. There we go. Give me that edible. Get it, get it. Yes. That was an air defense. That was awful. Oh, no, my gosh. Get in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bounce around. Bounce. Give me a... Oh, God. That was not good. That was not... Hey, welcome to the stream. All right, here's the tough part. Can we sneak it in and hit the set trap? We totally did it! God, these rhinos. Faye, coming in rhino hot. With that hose, thank you very much. Um, alright, we need to hit this other set trap. Totally working out well for us here. There we go. Now we need to get to the helipad. Let's get this rescue here. All right, that, that's a double danger. We're gonna let this calm down for a sec. Now we hit that shot like it's nothing. Here we go. Nice and easy helipad. All right. We're cool. We're cool, game. Don't tilt. That's great. That's great, game. Let's hit this helipad. Not cool. Not cool. There it is. Captured! Nope. It was worth it. I should have nudged more. I should have nudged more. Color blue still peels my wig back that the boy from Jurassic Park played Diki, the bass player for Queen in Bohemian Rhapsody. What? Oh my god! You are absolutely right! I just had to connect. I was wondering where I knew him from. That guy did not, I mean, I'm not saying I have aged well, but that guy did not age well. Double danger isn't even here. You need a color danger and a color double danger. Nice helipad shot, though. Thank you. I struggle, I feel like, with every shot on this game. All right. As much as I'm digging postmodern jukebox, it maybe isn't the best music, for a pinball. Let's go with the amazeballs playlist. This might end up getting silenced. Oh, a lively tune. I feel inclined to dance. Can anyone here name that movie? Because that was a wonderful quote from an amazing movie from the 90s. Did anybody get it? So I married an axe murderer. No. And yes, I also really like this song. Closing a goddamn door. Not because of Saturn. I make these kinds of things. But the things I want to do. I just have to be. I'm not that kind of person. Haven't you people ever heard of us? All right. We're really close here. There it is. All right. Alright, right ramp for the capture. Boom! Oh my gosh! Uh, sure. Did anybody else see that cool little rebound trick right there? Because that might be my new thing. uh 469 where does it say 469 oh that is wrong we are at 4 480 something that is it's just way off i don't understand why that follower graphic can't be right but anyway we're a lot closer we're giving away a jurassic park translate once we hit 500 and we're at 481 or 482 right now so We're actually pretty good. I know the quote, tip of the tongue. Faye, that was from The Three Musketeers. Or maybe it was just called The Musketeers. The Disney one with Oliver Platt. Where he's like, I got this sash from the Queen of America. That movie, yes. Rebound trick was awesome. Welcome to the soundtrack of my sixth grade year. Dice. That's awesome. I just threw up in my mouth a little bit because I feel like Panic at the Disco just came out. I watched that a bunch. I've seen that so many times. Was that the movie where the villain got a sweater for his birthday? The villain got a sweater for his birthday. I don't remember a sweater scene, but I wouldn't put it past Oliver Platt to do something like that. Oh! If I win, you can keep the Translight and give me the D&D. Good to know. Yeah, and Sari's behind that one. Yeah, this is way more enjoyable music for pinball. All right, Virus Attack. Up the middle, left, another white shot, the left shot, another white shot, and a third left shot to complete. Alright, let's start that mode. Boom! We're in the triceratops puddick. So when are you out to visit again? Sari, I don't know when I am. And be right back, gotta restart the PC. I'll take an escape. That's fine. I'll take a rescue. There we go. We're cool, game. We're cool. I'm not nudging anymore. That's a double. Did we get it? Did it give us? No. I think we still needed to hit it at least one more time, but I held up two. Welcome to the stream! I was thinking of Guapo from The Three Amigos, right? I forget the other guy's name, but he's... I mean, there's so many quotable moments. Moments and sayings from that movie, like the... Look up here! Look up here! Hey, you guys! Boom! We don't mess around! Shown now. And we're going to pull a T-Rex into this. Are we in a mode? What are we doing? Are we still in Triceratops? I feel like maybe we are. Here we are. The time is running out. Cool. That's obviously... I mean, I was obviously planning on doing all of that right there. Very methodical. Yep. That's just, you know, that's how we roll. Grrr. We could have done that better, I feel like. Sorry, that got really quiet. That was hard. Alright, can we hit that O right there? What are we in right now? All right, let's do the raptor thing. All right, just organizing my calendar and making sure I meet up with peeps. Cool. I don't think so. We didn't plan for that one. Right. Unfortunately not. Wanna soon, but it's not in the cards this way. I gotta go back up. If Pick a Destiny flopped as a movie, it's because there was no chance that my parents ever would let me see it if they knew what was in it. Voov says you guys making it out? Nope, they're not making it out. There we go. To In Dis. Come on, really? That it That was supposed to be easy and it wasn You should make a weekend to swing up to Portland-Beaverton area and hit next level, don't panic, Flip. We'll vouch for that place, too. Oh my gosh. Sari and Dirty Toes treated me to an amazing night at Next Level. What a cool location. I couldn't recommend that place more. It just needs to be somewhere with internet so people can stream there. All right, we've got another rescue. There we go. We finally got that lock. Someday it's on the list of things to do. Boop. Are you playing in it? No, I am not in InDisc. No. My wife let me know in no uncertain terms that if I want to do Pinberg again, that will be the only really big traveling pinball thing that I do every year. Because I did a ton of stuff last year. It was super fun. But, you know, I'm married. I'm married. There we go. We got the O and that final rescue. And there's the S. Here we go, nice wide open Oh Alright, uh There we go, we got chaos at least All right. Yeah, everybody out of the pool. That is... Come on, get up there. Get up there. Let's do it again. We got the cars. We've got the money. We've got the money. Alright, here we go. All right, we've got to hit that jackpot. Woo! My goal for 2020 is to make it to the bigger shows and actually do something in the tournaments instead of Boozy Disaster. That was Pinberg 2019. That was me! In Pittsburgh in 2019! I struggled to speak with anybody unless I had a beer in my hand. So I just always had a beer in my hand. Just booked my trip to Indisc. I'll be there. That's right, LordHowardHertz. Just booked. Shouldn't say disaster. Had fun when the tournament wasn't happening, but I needed liquid courage for the tournament. I hear ya. And my roommate was like, we've got absinthe! Which led to a shot and another shot, and you can see where that's leading. no reason to ever do a Pinberg tournament with a head full of absinthe. That's awesome. Dice, if you're going to Pinberg next year, we definitely have to make a point to have a beer. Or some absinthe. That was a really awful... I mean, just flat that's what I needed right there. Alright, we need to spin the Nata Jeep to the left. That stinks! Let's see here. Absinthe is fun, but it Fs up my gut and I feel icky the next day. Yeah, that's pretty much all drugs. I know Snow wanted to make it out to Ace Goji. I'll hopefully be able to entertain prior to Indisc hoping to head to Banning on Wednesday good lord I need to go to Pinball yes Sean X you should definitely go here's so many fun things from my local group about it damn Skippy always more fun with a drinking buddy yes it is and then I'd have to for whatever reason the Reno Pinball group I latch on to those guys Dave and Jim because they go to all the same events and we had a great time together. So they are my drinking buddies, but they're not heavy drinkers. In fact, I think one of them might not drink at all. Now that I remember it, maybe neither of them drink. I think, no, I think Dave drinks. Anyway, so yeah, it'd be good to get more people in a group. um they did open up game lab in riverside though so there's more pinball closer to indisc i need to get tickets for pinbird yes hey you also everybody just needs to be there it'd be great and i can't wait for mgc next year i was told i was basically getting dragged to pinbird next year. Woohoo. It, like, why not? Pinberg is great. It's the one tournament. Like, it is, it is managed so well. You know what? I have this right in front of me. Pinberg is managed so, so well. So if you guys haven't done it, um, what's his name? Uh, Bowen Kerins and a group, I'm guessing, of other developers. There's a, there's a lot going on here. Come on, game. Thank you. Jurassic Park. Spare no expense. Anyway, it's amazing. Very, very well done. There is some waiting every now and then, but for a thousand person tournament, it goes off without a hitch. It's so great. The area is really cool. That was my first time ever to Pittsburgh. and you've got a bunch of people who are really into pinball who I feel like are just as geeky and, well, I guess a lot of them are outgoing, but there's a good mix of extroverts and introverts, let's say. And then a good mix of people who also, as soon as the bar opens, at 11 o'clock feel the need to jump in there. I was told, I'll be your other drinker buddy. I'm going alone in 2020, so yes, meetups for everyone. Dice, it's a date. And for the size of the tournament, bring your patience and not a thermos of absinthe. Yeah, don't do that. All right, back over, because I accidentally left it the other way last night, and I got made fun of. Somebody... Oh, come on. Really? There we go. We got our first mode going. Alright, we've got rescues. On this first one, we just need one. And then... Ooh, I like this song. There we go. And a nice little pop. There we go. We can calm down for a second. Great. Now we've got the... So we needed to hit the set trap target. Now we need to capture the dino, which is on the right ramp. There it is. Control room ready. Cannot find shots! Oh, dear lord. There we go. Alright. That's not good. Uh-huh. Al-nonymous! Thank you. Thank you. And welcome to the stream. Yeah! There it is. Alright. We can't start a mode, unfortunately, while that's lit. I think that's a bug and that needs to be fixed. And I don't have a sound for fix your bugs. Perfect. Obviously planned it like that. Nope. That's... That's why we have that escape. Why do we even have that lever? Wow, that was... Ha ha ha! Ugh. Ugh. And we went to the right. We're going to zigzag here. Oh, no. What just happened? How come it didn't stop it? That should have stopped it. All right, catching up, catching up here. For the size of the tournament, bring your okay. That was my fault. I took the blame. Nice transition. Definitely going to the Midwest Gaming Expo. That's home. That's only an hour and a half away. Pretty sure it's not a bug. Wrong lever. Wrong lever, Kronk! If you're coming, vote my arcade for best games brought. Okay, for sure. And that's exactly what lost me the tournament last month. SeanX, that's funny. I was just like, I was just thinking that somebody told me that that happened to them. Um, I don't... We only have one rescue left. Oh, that's because I let the other guy die. Darn it. There it is. Alright, now we gotta get to the helipad over to the right. Wow, that was... surprisingly not even close to the helipad. There we go. Now we're going to get a smart missile. Got it. Completed the targets. Oh my... That is not supposed to happen, game. Ugh. It's supposed to hit that little thing and kind of bounce off a hair and come over and land on the... That just didn't work. Nope. Nope. I've had better. Oh, I've got to go back to the helipad. That's awesome. Game. Ugh, pinball never does what it's supposed to do. Isn't that a fact? I think we're aligned back up. Alright, cool. Alright, helipad. Thank you. That was a slide save Completely legal in a tournament And I only got a double danger All right, now let's see... Let's see if we can start a mode here. let's hit that spitter target hmm not a mode starter Really? Really? oh i deserve that i cannot hit the left ramp all of a sudden so let's move that back over better yeah i think we're better Oh wow, we almost hit the camera in the back. That would not be a good thing. Alright. You know, we're not getting better as we play. We can fix that. _(Acquisition: youtube_groq_whisper, Enrichment: v3)_ --- *Exported from Journalist Tool on 2026-04-13 | Item ID: 24ec830a-1769-40b5-94c0-6975d1e7dbc7*
