Does anybody know, do they know you're streaming? I mean, I told the rest of the TPN people, and then obviously the notification will go out. And, yeah, we will see after that. Are you there? Yeah, I'm here, sorry. I was just looking at that. Okay. We'll see if somebody, people should be hopping. I want to just check Twitch that we've gone live. I'm assuming we already have. Yeah, from my seat, I can't tell if you have anybody else on chat or anybody else here. Yeah. It's zero right now, but it's – yeah, we're good. It's already live. Okay, we're good. So we'll just start a game, and then I'm assuming some people will funnel in, and we will – and, yeah, you should be able to reach chat once people hop in. But, man, what a night. I turned off my video because I might have my back to you. I might take my clothes off or something. I don't know. That's totally fine. Totally, totally fine. Yeah, but I turned my camera off so that you're not exposed to that. Oh, I appreciate it. I mean, I'm a little disappointed, but I appreciate it. All right, we'll just hop in. I would say I have, in the few games that I've played, and like I said, there were just a few quick, like, let's find the shots kind of games. I never had the foundry lit. Does that mean I didn't have enough money? You need 200 Beskar and you complete the left bank. 200 Beskar? There are a lot of ways to light foundry. Okay. You need 200 Beskar and complete the three bank. Okay. Or scoop, or child, or hunter. Any of those ways can light foundry. Okay. So when you typically purse off, I love the shaker motor integration. You can never get enough shaker motor. Just because you have a chicken litter. Oh, yeah. That's a must. Okay, Cod is here. Mandalorian. Yeah. Do you know Brian Cosner, Dwight? I've met him. He's a nice guy. Yeah? And you see chat there in the window? Oh, it's really tiny. I can see it. They mentioned it. I can send you a link if you'd want to have it open. Hey, Dwight. Hope you're having a great night. Hey, Jewel. Yeah. Yeah, I can read it now. What up, what up? I don't know if you can hear the voice. I do like that left ramp. I do like that left ramp a lot. Captain Red Eye's here. That's Courtney. You know Courtney, right? And right now you don't have encounters lit because Scope is lit. So Scope wins out over encounters. Well, there's Fliptronic. Fliptronic just brought 32 people. Hello, Fliptronic and all the people they're bringing. Dwight Sullivan is on the line. So if anybody has any questions, let me know how the audio balances between me and the game and then when Dwight talks, you should be able to hear Dwight. Yeah. Go ahead and tell him. Hello, Pimola Land. You guys hear Dwight? I'm hoping the answer is yes. So scope is lit. I see that. Scope is stopping you from playing encounters right now. Okay, so if I hit the left ramp. Got it. It'll come around. It won't divert to the mini-play zone. Nice. So I hit this. White is low. Okay. Yeah. I hit what lit? And Hunter is the red dots. Okay, I just want to make sure. White is low is what they're saying, so let me crank you up a little bit. There we go. Let's see if they can hear you better now. There you go. You hear them better? Yeah, here we go. We'll make sure you're plenty loud. All right, yeah, they're good. All right, I'm sorry. Hey, guys. All right, so what happened there was you had Hunter lit and Scope, and Hunter went out. It started Hunter, and then you still have Scope lit. I thought I just did Scope. You had Hunter lit and Scope, and it gave you Scope instead of Hunter. Okay, so for Scope, I've got to go left for Amster. Right here is going to be my Scope shot. Boom. Man, that shaker is something. Yeah, you got the middle one, which gave you, so that gave you Veskar, which now lifts 100. So backhand into that scoop. Yeah, backhand into the scoop, and you're all set. Jordan, are you, yes, you can pop on voice, but not right now. I don't know, Dwight, you're welcome to stay as late as you want, but I don't know how long you're planning on being on chat. But I know Jordan, you know Jordan Fliptronic and whatnot. Jordan, I will... I don't know Jordan's list, probably. Okay, Jordan and Becca. Yeah. Yeah. I heard you. I mean, I think I've heard you guys on a podcast. Yeah. What I will say is, Jordan, go ahead and post the link. Jordan and Becca actually just streamed, and they're actually doing a fundraiser tonight, and they've been raising money for... Well, feel free, Jordan, to pop whatever it is, but... Yeah. Throw it in chat. And, yeah, Becca's the one that likes Bo-Katan. Right. Hey, Jordan. So, all right, twice now. So check below the left footer. There you go. Now backflip into the scoop. Okay, I've heard this is an all day. There we go. Okay, that is a safe shot once you find it. Welcome to the foundry. Yeah. So there's your foundry. Like this is a whole new Mando world. Test Bishop, how you doing, buddy? Okay, so, all right. So now you can, anything that's active. Smart bomb on a missile. This just helps me get two items. What does that mean? It's two. There you go. See the plus? I can buy both is what you're saying. Yeah. Oh. Okay. Nice. And then add a ball. Add a ball. So when you're in a multiball, you just hit the button and you get an extra ball? Yep. As long as you don't have the ball save running. Gotcha. And then what's this? Outline ball save. Yeah. I like that. Well, you can get both scope and ball save if you want. Let's do it. So, Fliptonic, we're raising money for the family of Gilbert Elijah. To learn more information, please visit this link. Oh, is the link turned off? Oh, no. They may have links turned off, Jordan. That's not good. Google, just put what to search for in Google. I mean, just click what you search for, and everyone can find it using Google. Yeah, sounds good. All right, so yellow shots, right? Oh. Yeah. I am getting a few rejects on that. When I hit the left ramp, it hits that diverter, like right there. It just did it again. Any idea how to help with that? Like, if I hit that... Are you left or right? Are you left, right balanced? I'll double-check that. Okay, so here's that upper play field. So I'm aiming for the yellow shots, correct? There's that little nudge that we need to get over that hump. There we go. That light show when you miss is pretty great. I'm not going to lie. I like that. Oh, and I just snuck in there and didn't realize it. Okay. So let's get back into the counter. I do like this. So I have level one and two complete, is that right? Correct. Correct. All right, so you can keep popping in there until you complete it, right? Correct. Unless, like, scope is going on. Yeah, I'm not seeing scope. Well, stay on the lookout for Project Pinball. Put up some raffles related to the event soon. They'll be raffling off a Raza plate field. Nice. So my encounter is still lit, yes? For me to get up top? You have scope right now. Oh, okay. So that's what's going to happen. Got it. So here's scope. Ah, missed it. Missed it. There's a little window there. You missed. Okay, so really getting that dialed in is going to be a fun one. All right, so what's flash timing? So encounter would be left ramp. Or if I hit the right ramp, that will qualify my mission? Missions? Yeah, but you can go in the stoop and let me do missions as well. What do you, how does that work? Yeah, you just... Oh, you buy it to qualify it? No, the stoop will, no, the stoop will just buy you a ramp. Oh! For your first two missions. Nice! On factory setting. So now like the stoop will give you... There you go. There you go. Try it for all... So now you... They're raffling off a turtle's playfield, boy. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Do you need an extra playfield? No thanks. There we go. Alright, so let's get the mission going. So this mission, the five missions, you select that by hitting the pop bumpers, right? Is that what changes the missions? No, no, no, no. The 2x changes it. Oh, the 2x. So it's like turtles with the, next to the left... I never want to do anything in the pop bumpers because then it's too random. That's fair. Alright, so yellow shots. Or just hit some posts, you know. There we go. Alright, why is it purple? Is this multiball? Yeah. So we got multiball. Turn off so it's going to sign Gary Stern Siemens who played guilty of jack-n-jitz. Nice, Family Games. Thanks for organizing that. That's a really cool benefit that you're doing. Alright, so purple shocks is multiball, yes? Oh, okay. Oh, Bill Burr's voice is in this. Nice. Okay, that shaker motor is legit. So yellow shocks are my mission that's going. What are the red shots that are randomly flashing? Does that make sense, Dwight? They're part of the multiball. They're part of the multiball. Okay, so it's not just the green shots. Okay. Or actually, this multiball started with purple shots. So the shots are changing as the night. Okay. Okay, so Super Jackpot is on that inner loop. What do you call that? Oh, it's the time thing. I missed it. Yeah. So that was the Super Jackpot of the multiball or of the mission that was running? Of the multiball. Multiball, okay. You only collect Super Jackpots in multiballs. Gotcha. All right. How's Mando feeling? I'm not jealous at all. Jordan, you got one. I just sent mine up today, and I'm really enjoying it. Hobbit third slipper. This game is fast. This game is all the shots, you know, are, I don't know. Do you feel like that's an appropriate word, Dwight? Fast is, I mean, they're all right there. If you miss, you better react. I don't think it's as fast as Turtles. True. Turtles, you hit those loops. That ball's whipping back. Maybe it's just the fact that some of these shots are closer. So if you miss, if you miss, that ball is coming at you. Cash Money Costa, Joel's hit notes with the Mando stream. Yeah, man, these turns have such high scoring. I've been playing a lot of GNR where Tell Me In Days is great. Yeah, this scoring is not, like Turtles is lower scoring than this. I know there were some comparisons early on, Dwight, to Turtles scoring. I'm not seeing that. Okay, scope, there we go. So which one did I just hit the inner loop, so what is that? I got whistling birds. Whistling birds and flamethrower. Or something else. Or jetpack, yeah. Okay, so flamethrower. Go ahead. Flamethrower is increasing the value of my shot, so I probably should have done that before multiball, correct? Correct. Okay. Or before your scooper, but then you didn't shoot the scooper anyway, so it was wise to save it. Yeah, yeah. And then Whistling Birds, Whistling Birds. Whistling Birds will spot your yellow shots during a mission. Gotcha. Okay. And that's just, you tap it once. Yeah. And then the Jet Pack is... Will spot your level in an encounter. So right now this encounter is flashing two, and it looks like I have three... Three shots. So three shots left to complete that encounter? So if you shot the left ramp right now while the ball was being held by the diverter or afterwards, if you hit the button, it would then spot all three of those shots for you. So you could try and just trap up on that upper right flipper, wait for the bonus round to begin, and then start hitting the bonus round. Oh, nice. So if I hit the jet pack right now when it becomes that, it would just go ahead and do it for a no? No, you can't hit it now. Like the button, look at the button color. Oh, yeah, it's off. Yeah, it's off. Makes sense. Yeah. Okay. Hey, guys, and catch one at Costa. Thanks for the sub, man. Appreciate it. All right, so you're saying try to get up top. There should be an orange right now, right? There it is. Now it's orange and red. I just hit the button, so what did I just... Did that just finish that, or... It finished it off for you, but then you were drained, so you didn't collect the bonus round. Oh, the bonus round is after each level. Nice. It's not... Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's where the real points are, is the bonus round. That's when you want to hit the button, is what you're saying. You want to hit the button to get to the bonus round. It would give you targets without doing any work. Okay. Makes sense. Dwight's Code is great. Looking forward to playing it tomorrow. Yeah. Thanks, guys. Yeah. Yeah, that set, I'm getting rejected on that. There we go. I wonder if, like, a piece of foam or something. But, okay, so what I am definitely seeing is you want to give it a... Man, that upper play... Yeah, you are... This is not a walk in the park, that upper play field. Sounds cheap, right? Oh, bummer. What... When does the... You said you were messing around with the upper flipper power, correct? That was the thing you were going to do? Yeah, I did. It changes to strength depending on what level you're on, depending on what encounter you're on. So it starts off weak and gets really strong for encounter 3. Family games. Thanks for the sub. Wow, really appreciate the support there. And yes, Craig Bobby, I'm glad you saw my Lando Calrissian shirt that I pulled out for the stream. Craig Bobby. I like that This game looks more polished for a new star no offense the other recent pins like Avengers. I was very yeah this this game 0.97. I mean there's there's a Plenty here to play with that's for sure. It's point nine six point nine six. Okay. I'm working on point seven right now All right, what? Defeat the dragon So what is that to the left orbit and in the right orbit? Or the right the right ramp will give you more best car This is the hunter mode? Yeah, this is the hunter mode. So the right ramp and then the wall. And now the left ramp. Now the left ramp? To finish it, the right one is what you want. So the left ramp will spot you, will build your best car, and put the ball in the left slipper. There you go, there you go. There we go. That was perfect. It's a good animation. 300 Beskar and 600. Nice. And that foundry is... I really better... I forgot to backhand that. That seems like a... Post-passing is difficult. You are right. I just went for it. I went for it again. There we go. There we go. Oh. There it is Alright, so how much is that extra ball? That's what we all, that's what I need Family game, 6,500 Go ahead You can flip her out of this if you want There's that extra ball It's lit 600, and then what is this? This was one, so plus one multiplier So how does this work? It'll give you one of the three multipliers The one that's the hardest to get of the ones you don't have So it would give you 100 right now Nice Or unless you already have Hunter. I don't know. I don't think I have any of them. And if you had more money, you could get the plus in between. Like, if you had more Beskar, you could do the plus in between. It would be both. Excellent choice. Nice. So it likes it. It doesn't give it to you. I still have to earn this. I never give it to you. I never give it to you. Yeah. Hey, there it is. Here's your Bo-Katan mode. Becca's thanking you personally for this. And if you're lucky, you'll hear her talking to it. Make your way to the head of the ship! Yeah, uh... Football is ball three, I really need to hit that scoop. Come on, Katie. You're 3x... You're 3x pickled. Oh, this is when I should do my Flamethrower. Oh, I just... so I just killed my missions, because I did my Whistling Birds. Right? But you got them all at 3x, so that was not bad. Okay. Yeah. So I can't do my flamethrower right now. Because my... Is it orange? No, it's off. It says hold action button. It should be orange. Yeah, it's off right now. Okay. I'm not sure why. I'll have to think about that. Oh, now it's orange. As soon as I let go of the flipper, now it's orange. Okay. Yeah, now I can do it. Now you can do it. Hold it, though. So this is probably two times the height. So now every shot is 2x right now. Joel, if you had known you were getting a Mando today and Dwight was going to be on chat, I might not have slept last night. Thank you for keeping it secret. Where's Katie's voice? All right. You've got to make shots. And you whistle-bird some of them off. Oh, I definitely did not. Good morning. Yep. Good morning. So, pretty much all the shots are lit right now? They're all on fire. Oh, I was doubling. So, the ones that are flashing like orange and yellow are missions. Joel making shots. This is not the way. Hi, everybody that's watching. Feel free to give me a hard time. If anybody has any questions, Dwight is on chat, and he can see it. So ask away. Maybe I should pay attention to the rules. That's Tim Lee. So I am – well, this was my extra ball. Can I buy another extra ball, or is it one time? One time. You can only buy one extra ball from the Foundry per game. Okay, so what's another extra ball that I could try for right now? You've gotten two already, so the third one would come from... The only other one would come from the child, and that's random. The child. Okay. What was the first... So I bought one. What was the other one from? Two missions. Two missions. Okay. All right. I have not... So I see green strobing up the middle. There is an extra... There is an insert actually right... There's three inserts here. You don't see that on camera, but there's another insert under this. That's pretty cool. Um, what does that mean? How many shots am I away from a multiball of the middle? Do you know? Or is that something you hold to figure out? I don't know. Um, probably like two or three. Okay, so the flashing green, that doesn't mean anything. It's just, like it's not. It means it's not lit. Okay, it means it's not lit. Got it. Can I earn best scar during a multiball? you can earn you earn your best car all the time um like the three bank will give you lots of best car the three bank oh the the hunter the jet the pumpers give you best car going in the scoop gives you best car getting a super jackpot gives you best car but the main way to do it is hunter or scope ok hunter or scope so scope would be left ramp yeah there we go so here would be scope There it is. There it is. So that one went up the right ramp. So what was that for? It gave you points. It gave you points, which you could have had multiplied. Well, you did have multiplied. It was nice, but you could have had even more with the 2X next to it. See the ramp multipliers next to that? Oh, so I would have hit those first? Yeah. And then you could have put it on fire. So that's how he got $1.2 billion. It was a bug, but he had 24X going on the right ramp and then got $10 million instead of, and then got $50 million instead of $5 million. Oh, wow. So $50 million times 24 was $1.2 billion. The bug was it should have been $5 million instead of $50 million. So I have, he had, so he had. Go ahead. No, you're good. You had a 3X playfield going. you could have had another 4x on the right ramp from the two little 2x's. And then if it was on fire, that would have been 2x more. So I had the blue one and the green one. So the green one I got from hitting the right... The 2x. Okay. And those are playfield multipliers. The 2x's next to the ramp are only just for that one ramp. All right, we've got to go with the sub here. So family, we're going to just fam, gang. What does sub mean? So sub is they've paid to have access to our mobs. So a sub is $5 a month. Oh, cool. Yeah, so it's great. Well done. Yeah, fam, gang. There we go. I'm excited. I've never put a new game out on location. This is for business, but I'm going to enjoy it. Yeah, Kaz, I'm excited for you, man. All right, missions. Okay, let's get into another one here. Yeah, there's just so much to do, Dwight. I don't even know where to. I have heard, I know since the initial stream, I have heard Luke's voice. I've heard Bill Burr's voice. I've heard Mando. I've heard, what's his name? That guy. Moff Gideon Moff Gideon yeah there's a lot here do you I mean asset wise do you have do you have a lot you have access to I'm assuming yeah there's that's awesome stuff from almost you know from all the episodes IG-11 I did not I'm assuming he's in here I haven't heard that yeah he's hit a flipper line oh never mind oh okay alright so you start with 50 best cars. So what would be the smart play? One shot of... There's too many things that I want to focus on. Maybe only focus on one nook. Maybe go all multiball. Let's try that. What would you like me to mess with, Dwight? I don't care. So, skill shots. What about those? What are my options here? Super skill shots. So the Pro has three skill shot options. There's the lights moving back and forth. See them in the top left? Yeah, they're moving. So if you hit those two lights as they move back and forth, you'll get a skill shot. And that skill shot will light the child. It'll give you bonus multiplier and super pops. And if you hold in the left flipper button, the ball will come all the way around, and then there's like a three-way combo super skill shot that's very, very cool. And that begins with the little U-turn. So it's the little U-turn, and then the right ramp. Yep, and then the right ramp. And then the third shot of the super skill shot is three different shots. It's the center ramp, the left ramp, and the left scoop. And all three of them light up, and you can pick any one you want, and you get a different award depending on which one you shoot. Okay. But this is a tough one. Does that make sense? So that inner loop, then the right ramp. It's very hard. Yeah. You have lots of time, so you can shoot the inner loop and then trap up the ball and then either backflip it or shoot forward flip, you know, the right ramp. And then you have three shots. The third shot is the easiest because you can pick any one of the three. Yeah. And the easiest of those three is the center ramp, which will then light a multiball for you. Oh, yeah. Yeah, okay. So what, do I have to hit this interloop quick or I can, like, catch the ball, take a second? You've got, like, ten seconds. Oh, okay. All right. You've got ten seconds from when the ball reaches the left orbit. Okay. Okay. And then you said there was three. So child, there's that combo, and what was the third one? Well, the end, you mean there's three endings. The three endings are the center ramp, which will light multiballs. the left ramp, which will lighten counters, or the left scoop, which will start a mission. Okay, yeah, but I thought you said there was three skill shots. You're saying it's... Oh, yeah, the third skill shot is trickle the ball into the mini play field on the plunge. So you can plunge the ball, and if you plunge it really lightly, it'll fall into the mini play field and start a little skill shot there. People in chat, I don't know if you're seeing that, they say you sound like Elon Musk. So that text is extremely small. Okay. Hold on. I can help you. I think I can help you. All right, there we go. So that text is really, really, really small, and I'm not seeing it. All right. I want to get that bigger. Can I make it bigger? I can't make it bigger by zooming in. All right. Let me... So if I missed a question, guys, I'm sorry. What would be the way to do this? quite sounds a lot like Elon Musk. Yeah, that's cool. I like Elon Musk. I wish I had his money. It went away now. The whole chat went away. Yeah, that did not work. I tried something and that was not the thing to do. I mean, get rid of the Flip N Out Pinball logo. We don't need that. I wonder if by resizing it crap this is why you don't mess with stuff on stream because I don't see any of it come on oh there it is so it refreshed it's still tiny oh there it's bigger there it's a little bigger let me, okay, let's do this and let's do so if you guys had a question I didn't answer please type it again All right, somebody type something real quick. Let's see if somebody typed something in chat. There we go. That's bigger. How's that? So I'm going to bring you up on Twitch. It's delayed a little bit, but I'll see all the text. I think you can see that. I made that a lot bigger. All right, hold on. Okay. Can you read that one? It says, oh, yes. Well, yeah, I can read that. So I brought it up. So don't worry about it anymore. If you were on the first flight to Mars and could take one pin with you, what would it be? The first flight to Mars? You know, like on Elon Musk's, you know, starship? That's what I'm saying is they think you sound like Elon Musk right now. So that's why they're asking Elon Musk questions. You stand billionaire. Right. Alright, so I have you up on another computer too, so I can clearly see the text. Okay, I'm sorry, yeah. Yeah, that's fine. Okay. What pin would I take with me? Well, that's a tough choice. I think high speed. How about high speed? Nice. That's a good choice. You made the steel shot, but you have to hold in the left over button for it to come all the way around until the ball gets past that... Oh, so it didn't register it? Wow. You've got to hold the ball all the way until it gets to the spinner. Jordan said, do you want to buy a high speed? He's selling one. I do, but I don't have any money. Okay, so hold it. It's going to go and then... Oh, it didn't go all the way to the... Well, it might have still done it if you kept it held in. Oh, okay. So multiball here, it's showing that the second multiball is lit. And can I change that multiball? Oh, you'll get $2.5 million. Got it. $2.5 million. You'll trade me for a Mando Pro? I don't have a Mando Pro, man. Unless I would. Flarp? I got some Flarp. Oh, yeah? Yeah, I've got all kinds of Flarp. Cliptronic, that's their, uh, they're all about Flarp on their channel. I don't get what that is. Cliptronic, that's Jordan and Becca. No, no, no, I don't know what Flarp is. Oh, Flarp is a, uh, Flarp is like a, it's, no, Flarp is like a, it's like a silly putty that's more wet, and you put it in a cup, and you push into it, and it makes a really bad fart sound. You know. I don't know. That's the good part about being an adult, right? I can make clarp if you want. Oh. All right, let's try to get this still shot. Hey, I hit it. And I drank. But that was cool. All right, so I see that one's lit now. it's going to stay lit by the time I go. Okay, so I see what happened there. It just, it all came so fast. And then you got one of them. Alright, there we go. Okay. Not going to lie, do you like spider swipe? Because this is, in the headphones, that is a, that's giving me the heebie-jeebies. That spider sound, holy cow. All right, so blue shots. Whoa. There we go. There we go. Right. There we go. So this is the question. Does it make sense to do flamethrower right now? during a multiball. Sure. We're going to get on a bunch of lead, so no. Wait till you have a bunch more lead. Or wait till you have super lead. Ah, that would make sense, Jeff. So I need to get on that right orbit. I'll let you come over here. Give me a hand. Right? Right orbit is what I need? Just keep missing it here. Oh, Old359 asked me about the Baby Yoda. The Baby Yoda does exactly what we want him to. Oh, boy. I love that name, Old359. I know what that is. Come on. Right orbit. It's one of the shots I have not focused on tonight. There it is. Okay. And then super. So this is where you're saying it would make sense. To do it now. Now hold it in for two seconds. I need a hand. Hold it in. Okay. Now shoot the shipper. I got a... Does it stay lit permanent? Oh, wow. Do they stay lit permanently? Do they stay on fire? There's a timer. Did you see the timer in the top right corner? There was a timer. I didn't look. I didn't want to drain both balls, which I still managed to do. Yeah, it was timing down. Yeah. Nice match animation, by the way. Wolf359, we try to put as much as we can in everything, and you've got to always remember that if we made the baby Yoda move, that would have taken away from something else. Yeah. There would only be two flippers on the game or something. I don't know, but... Cosmic play impossible mode. Dude, I don't think... I understand you put in a possible mode for the really talented players. That's not me. It's not... No, see, so that's not true. It's not for the talented players. It's for people that just want to fool around and have a good game. All right, well, let's do it then. Impossible play. And then there's monster play, which for a one-player game is the same thing. Yeah, makes sense. You know, I have to selfishly ask. Do you have any intention of putting Impossible Play in Turtles? You want to back? So that was, so no, Impossible Play probably will not show up in Turtles. That's fair. Stuff like that requires more than just one person. That requires an artist and programmers and sound people and. Yeah. No, I totally get it. I totally get it. But as you know, you know, Turtles is, I got my banner right here. Turtles is my baby. It's my, I would put it in the background, but. So after you've played this for a while, I want you to tell me you like Mando as much as Turtles. No, I'm excited to play it, and I just realized, just even holding the flipper up to go around the left scoop, I already see it going down. This is going to be hard. And so now it five more to like the first multiball So it's six total because you're on very hard. If there's no ball save, your multiball ball saves will be really short. Yeah. It's not like you took away both my tilt warnings too, did you? Because I think tilt warnings are a tool for the good player. Yeah. Dwight, when you code a machine, is there a process to use a methodology such as Agile or something mapped out up front? That's what Tim asked. Yeah, we, well, we have a process, and we use Agile, and they're, you know, they're not the same thing. I map out everything as fast as I can at all times there's a game design and a game design doc and I stick to that vision but as soon as the vision proves wrong I adjust the vision and tell everybody and we just keep doing that until they take the game away from us so you work on it as absolutely if they give you X amount of time you are working on it every single day during that time frame until they come. Yeah, well, I'm currently working on the game after Mando, you know. Got it. But I'm coding Mando still. For sure, yeah. Dwight, do you ever feel the pressure when coding games with big fan bases like Turtles or Star Wars? Absolutely. Absolutely. Can I swear on your soul, Joel? Hey, you do you, Dwight. I'm not here to tell you who to be. Yeah, it's, I will tell you as a Turtles fan, Dwight, you did me just fine. So, take a deep breath on that one. How long did the game project last? One quarter, two quarters? What? No, the game project lasted for, it should have been 13 to 15 months. and but I only got a year to review Turtles and I only got a year to review Mandalorian so since the beginning of Turtles I've done nothing but those two games oh wow now you said I'm now on my next game as a Turtle as a Mandalorian now you said um Castile Challenge on Turtles you said your son coded that did I read that correctly my son James programmed Castile Challenge my son David programmed the Ninja the Trinos pizza party. Oh, nice. Do you have your son doing anything? Do you have him doing anything for this? I do. David did the skill shot that you haven't done yet. David's done a few things in Mandalorian. That's pretty cool. How old are they? So they're in their 20s. And they do software programming, or what do they do for a living? So David, they were both interns. David's now an intern for his first time. He started programming last November. James started programming when he was like 15, and he just graduated college. And we're real proud of him. See you next time, Mando. Hey, Craig. Sad that you won't see Joel hit that skill shot tonight. Yeah, you will. It's really easy. It's really easy. So y'all were already. Physical skill shots go. Yeah. So you're already deep. So you were deep into this project before Season 2 had even started. Oh, yeah. So how exciting was that for you then, like every week watching an episode, but I'm assuming when you were watching it, you were like thinking, like, this game's awesome. How do I get it in the game? Was that a thing? Yeah. Well, not how, but it was more like where. But, yeah. We would watch it three times on Friday. Like the first time just for fun. and the second time it'd be like, okay, so now we're going to have to put this in omission, or we're going to put this in a multiball. I feel like somebody asked this, but what's her name? Gina, whatever. I started working on, when did I start working on Mando? Let me figure that out. I mean, it was about 13 or 14 months ago, whenever that is. I want to say February. I want to say February of last year. February of last year. So Turtles came out in March. So it's like, wow. You're like, that's crazy that you can turn your head. I don't know. You can turn your brain. So, like, when you're doing a reveal screen, you're already months into the next game. Yeah, right now. That's crazy. So it's almost the reviews. Is the reveal stream almost like, I don't know, like returning to like a, I don't know. No, no, no. I'm working 60, 70, 80 hours a week on Mando right now, and I have been for weeks. But, you know, I spend a few minutes sitting there thinking about the next game. Gotcha. Mapping it all out and trying to get. See you, guys. I appreciate you, Brian. Thanks for being here, man. Dang, so right at the start of the pandemic is when you started this. She said February. Yeah. I just heard her. We need to check down until the end of February. Oh, there she is. As I drain, I got excited because I heard her name. Yeah, focus on. Yep. What's the next game, Dwight? We can all brainstorm some ideas. Right. Okay. You guys ready? Here we go. Ready? It's Fuzzy Bunnies of Love. Oh, so this game was called Jenny. Is that right? Jenny. What's the... I don't get the connection. Is there something there that I'm missing? It's for me to talk about. Oh, okay. Because Jason on Turtles made sense. I'm assuming Jason, hockey mask, Casey Jones, hockey mask. That's the logic, right? And then furry hats on Guardians of the Galaxy, I thought that was just funny. Yeah, Saul Hudson, he has a theory. It's Eddie's girlfriend? All right, that's real. That's cool. All right. No, I just thought that was a, I don't know, it was like a riddle that I wanted to solve. I'm like, I don't know this reference. We were afraid that any codename we came up with that was similar to the show would be figured out. like oh you're right you're probably absolutely right yeah yeah um I just think it's funny that clearly you guys spend time like ok so I'm in here does it does it make sense I saw that I saw that cause I was gonna say does the flamethrower do anything up there or no the sneaky the sneaky skill shot is is you've got to hit all of the targets three times. Okay. They were changing a lot of colors, so they start yellow and then... They change color each time you hit them, and then they start blinking when they're all done. Got it. But the flamethrower would not have done anything up there, correct? No, the flamethrower is just for the generic arrows. I got it. Okay. I went for that sneaky skill shot. That's something you definitely don't have on the premiums. There's nothing... No luck on that, right? But the premium has some really cool stuff that the pro doesn't have. Why do you keep rejecting? Yeah, you're going to get a reject there. Yeah, I don't know why. I don't know why that is. All right, let's see if we can... Jeez, that... Oh, that was level three. So, is there... So I'm in level 3 of the encounter, right? Right. And, uh... You must... I've been daydreaming or answering questions. I'm not sure when you got to level 3. But you can move on to level 3. Yeah, you can move on to encounter 2 if you just finish those. Oh, wow. Or in the foundry, you can get the jet pack, and then that would have wiped out the fourth target for you. Oh, and just blow through it. Yeah, yeah. Any thoughts of coding in secret flipper codes To unlock funny items in the foundry That would be quite a lot And then somebody said Did Tanyo do anything in this game Tanyo helps out quite a bit Under the hood Tanyo is a supporting Like if you do 1, 2, 3 during the check mode You'll see his name He is an unsung hero I'm a fan of Deadpool man His code and that is pretty great, so Okay, well you finish you finish the counter one got it two more counters to go before you get to that was remote I'll do you see that Dwight tabs were spaces. This is a big thing Oh, I'll... So, I think you recently tried to Facebook me. Was that I-Lol? Um, there's spaces, of course. Tabs are stupid. Tabs, you know, if you say tabs, I'm going to lose my hope with you. He said, not me. Okay, so somebody named I-Lol just tried to friend me on Facebook. Yes! And I don't... I'm trying to tell everybody I don't really do Facebook. Enter your initials. I think so. Yeah, the open look-a-field can be quite lucrative, but I did nerf it a bit from that early stream. Now that one stream, if you could stay up there, you were. Yeah, a tab should make four spaces, correct. And if you... no, neither I'm not... well, you can't not be on Facebook if you've ever created an account. And I created an account like 100 years ago, so I have an account on Facebook, but I'm not, I don't ever go there. How is accuracy determined in the upper play field? During the bonus round, if you hit the purple lights, it's a hit, and if you don't, it's a miss, and it's just the hits divided by the misses. So, it's only, accuracy is only during the bonus round? Only during the bonus round, that's correct. Got it. Just one flip has to hit a useful target. What is... Oh, that's accuracy. No. Oh, now he's got it. Okay. Let's go for that pinky shot. Wait, I think you said the algorithm wrong. It's the hits... It's all of the shots... It's the hits divided by all shots. So I got three Beskar. I just saw that. Three Beskar for hitting a scoop. Okay. Yeah. so it's not yeah you can nine you got nine since you started um so to the war the longest so what during bonus round you only have 12 seconds during the bonus round and then the flip roll die so I got an extra ball was that a mystery that I got cuz I'm not sure where you got that well I'm not I was reading chat. Shoot, splashing, yellow, arrow. Okay. Oh, wow. Oh, it just bounced out. Oh, okay. No, it can't be over 100, because it's all the shots. It's the number of shots you made divided by the total shots. So it could be, like, 10 accurate shots divided by 10 gives you 100 shots. All right. I like that less, Scoob. Dangerous from the right, but comfortable from the left. Excellent. Cash money. Yeah, Zach warned me about this, that diverter regen, so I need to take a look at it. I was telling Dwight before the stream, Zach dropped this off about two hours before the stream started, and I was trying to figure out the best way to get Dwight's audio into chat so that Dwight could still hear the game, and that was a challenge. but we got it. We're good. Everything's alright. So protect the child. So this is a... No, blue count is not a factor. Targets hit divided by all targets. There we go. Let's get back up there. So I just have one more shot to hit up there. I didn't hit it. There's definitely a trick to this upper playfield, for sure. This is no... This is no gimme. The music is nudging the game as the ball is rolling out of the exit. Yeah. Or, you know, out of the entrance. Do you have a favorite character? Do you have a favorite character in The Mandalorian? Oh, I don't know. I keep loving him. There you go. Okay, so I'm starting to multiball while the mission's going. So mission is still yellow targets. So can I do a flamethrower right now to light all these shots? Yep. And then see, it gives you, as you shoot the shot, it gives you those two uppers. So I had upper plate field and stuff. Was that part of the multiball or was that the counter that was going on? No, that's the loader wall. Oh, wow. The kicker is shut down near the multiball, and many of the loader walls use the upper playfield. There's a lot going on here. So I have three lights on the upper playfield. Those are the areas I still need to hit, right? I need the right brand. Holy cow. This game is quick. This game is quick. There we go. Dwight, I had a fabulous idea for Joel last night. Oh, yeah. Did you read this, Dwight? What Jordan's saying? Jordan's basically saying if you ever did a Tokyo drip pin if you had to drift in the game why not use the tilt bob and actually specifically drip the game is what he was saying that's an interesting idea that would be kind of insane that sounds like a Pete Johnson idea alright so So red, okay, so I still have the yellow shots of the mission, there we go. And I now have a weapon. The reds are huge. That's the curious fan. You've got 100 going. I have a lot going right now. You've got 53 million from that mission. There you go, that's 100. The other half is the left border. I think I already did the left border. So I think I finished the hunter. Yeah, you finished it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're done. All right. So foundry's lit. Because you're a hunter. Was I wrong, but with the inner loop flashing white, did I just miss that? Yeah, so ambush is you shoot the inner loop, and then it lights to shoot it again. And if you shoot it again, you'll advance toward ambush. And on the pro, you need three of those to get the ambush. Oh, my goodness. I've done that twice now. I've tried to backhand, and if you hit that guy right there, you've got to be ready. That guy's coming back. Dwight, was any consideration given to a super mode for defeating the Emperor four times on Star Wars? No. No. I'm not sure Keith could defeat the Emperor four times. All right. Maybe if you put co-op on Star Wars, you could do it with a co-op game. Dwight, I've got to tell you, thank you so much for co-op, man. Co-op is amazing. I'm a big fan of it on Turtles. I'm a big fan of it on all games. Such a good coaching tool, you know? Let's do this together. Brilliant. Great idea. You can flip or pass this if you want to. There you go. Okay. No extra ball. Okay, so I would get ball save, smart missile. Smart missile is pretty good. How much do you enjoy? Actually, I'm going to skip it just because I want to get my extra ball. So with 3-5-9, man, you need a Mendo. Co-op is great on Turtles. It's so nice when you play. Yeah. No, Dwight, I mean, unless this is a new thing of yours, if co-op's going to be everything from here on out, that would be... Turtles doesn't have... We're touching on that, Dwight. I appreciate it. Oh. Turtles doesn't have an impossible mode. Yeah. The monster. So your kids, you could, with monster mode, you could be the monster and your kids could play against you. And you have impossible military knowledge, and they don't. Brilliant. It evens the playing field. I'm shooting up the middle. So, right up the middle is... Well, never mind. There goes one. Right up the middle is lit green. That's what I'm shooting. but it's solid oh I just started my this is that upper play field while in a multiball that's insane that is insane super jackpot really There you go. You can explain that. Yeah, I'm definitely seeing that. That if you are a smart player, if you're a smart player and you think ahead on certain shots, get a multiplier going on that and blow it up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Amiga Cammy. Yeah, I got to get my extra ball. I gotta get my extra ball here. I think you already got an extra ball. No, I haven't bought it. Last time when I was in the foundry, I only had 575, so... Ooh! Ooh! I drilled that. Lucky you're not playing on a possible ball. That would have been no ball. Alright, you're saying post-passes are hard. There we... Oh. Come on. Don't screw me now. Do you enjoy watching people play your games, Dwight? Or does it, like, make you nervous or excited or what? Well, I don't know if I like streams. I like going to the arcade and watching people. Yeah. I mean, I'd invite you over, but... You're in Indiana. I know. It would be a little bit of a drive. But I'll be at a... I'll be at a... If you had more, you could have bought a multiplier and an extra one. that would have been nice. Alright, so I need, I'm going to go for one more, I'm going to try to, oh Mike, that was a great extra call. I didn't get it! I lit it and I forgot I have to hit it. Oh boy, that fell apart there. That fell apart there right at the end. Top tier's here. How we doing, Steve? Um, Cara Dune, do you have any comment on her? Cara Dune or her involvement in this game? Phil, you've probably been asked that before. Stop. Boom. All right. Played the blinded... Oh, you've heard that, haven't you? You listen to the pinball show, right, Dwight? Sometimes. Did you hear Rob's top rope pinball? Did you hear his rendition of Blinded by Dwight? I don't think so I don't know who Rob is so top tier pinball he's a streamer really good player he sang a song called Blinded by Dwight but it was two Blinded by the Light his musical talent out of ten is about a two but it is very entertaining sounds like he owes me money Jambino great name jealous of all these people getting their pros and I'm just sitting here in the living room because mine isn't here. You'll get there. This is, I got lucky. I'm just borrowing this for Zach. So this is Flip N Out Pinball. I gotta say that. Zach and Nicole Binney, thank you for letting me play this game. Streaming it for them on the Flip N Out Pinball channel. If there's anything that Zach can do for you, I love doing this because feel free to just, bang, right there. Feel free to just text them all night long. Yeah, I'm enjoying it. But two-tort, Tim Lee, thanks for being here tonight. All right. Zach can ship me my pro already. Yeah. All right. Let's keep going. And, Dwight, thanks again, man, for hopping on here. I know you've been on here an hour. You can stay, like I said, you can be on here as long as you want. I'm not going to kick you off. But if you've got work to do, I also don't want to keep you. All right. I'll be on a little longer. That's fair. All right. I want to get to many more. Let me just, I'm going to focus on multiple. ball. Let's see if we can get to this precious cargo. Would you say that's probably the fastest? Because encounters, I don't even think I've gotten to the second one. Encounters is a lot harder than I thought. A lot harder than I thought. Encounters requires focus. The other two just sort of have a... So when... How early on in the process? You said 13 to 15 months. How early on in the process are you seeing anything physical. Like, you already start designing a game without any idea of the shots, right? Or no? Yeah, but it's a collaboration. The mechanical engineer, the designer, and I are all, you know, we're making, well, he's making drawings, and we lay the drawing out on the table, and we talk about it, and then we, you know, we write rule ideas down on the whiteboard, and we talk about it. Nice. So pretty early on in the process, you knew you were going to have a play field up there that you needed to find something. Dude, I love that Bill Burr is in this game. I think that's hilarious. Did you hear that apparently somewhere, I think Bill Burr has a podcast, and he said in his podcast that he is in a pinball game. and he wanted to know why he didn't have one or how he should get one. And so Zach Minney, he offered. He said, I will give Bill Burr a pinball machine for free if I'm allowed to come set it up and film, like setting it up for Bill Burr. How crazy would that be? That would be awesome. Can I go with him? Can you go with him? Yeah. You just got Bill's number. Oh, man. That happens so fast. I have Zach's number. Yeah, yeah, call him up. Secret coin eject button press is doing stuff. So, Fliptronic, an idea guy is nothing, right? So, an idea guy, ideas are a dime a dozen. Ideas are the easiest, easiest part of everything I do. By far. I just saw there is a tiny... Ideas, you know, it's the execution and the implementation that really matter. is there so under this right under there there is a hole is there an opto pointing up yeah that's the opto switch yep nice is that a new is that a new thing have there been other games that have that that I'm it's rare that's kind of cool I like that that's how I know the sneaky skill shot works yeah oh see right if you're an idea guy and a programmer then you're like me you know Nobody ate with a keyboard. Yeah, Dwight, but I think Jordan, Clicktronic, I think he does tabs. He does what? I think he does tabs. Tabs? What is tabs? Tabs. I thought you said tabs over spaces. Oh, no, no, no. If he does, he's a loser, man. I'm not trying to ruin the budding friendship here, but I'm just... Day of flow. You said, I code Python, dude. Sometimes we can. All right, here we go. Let's get this. I only need one space for that. Ah. No. This, yeah. That was a joke. Yeah. That was a joke. Yeah, that happened really fast. This game is not, I don't know, it's funny when all you have is dreams, right? So this is the first, I've played this game maybe a cumulative hour and a half today. and you watch streams, you analyze photos, you see things and you think, that's going to be easy or that's going to be like... And then you actually touch the game and it's totally different than what you thought, which is a lot of fun. I mean, that's what makes pinball a good time, right? The uncertainty of the ball. But this game is... Did that contact Bill Burr? He said he would love I don't know how you get Bill Burr's contact information You have to call the manager You have to call his people Okay So what I'm hearing though Dwight Is if Zach does get a hold of him You're gone Is what I'm hearing Well that's what I wanted to say Yeah I think I think Zach would probably be okay with that Yeah I mean I don't want to Go You missed You missed everything I didn't even realize I had scope. I was just so focused on getting multiball going. That was a mistake. Yeah, you were right. If I ever get around to homebrewing, it's gone for 60 seconds. Jordan, please. All right. You were, I'm not going to lie, the fact that there's upper play field involvement during this multiball is nuts. because that's having to double focus like that is it's going to be a lot of fun I just got to get up that there we go okay so I'm hitting those shots up there so they started blue and then they were turning green those upper plate field shots and they're in like the toughest spot too back in there that's pretty sick I like that and I strange out multiple mostly C++ yeah we do some C it's not so bad because all of our objects are created at power up and they live for the duration of you know the duration of the game being on power powered so many memory management is about you you could do it Wow I did not realize those on ball three these games are going quick I don't know this name, but they followed, so... We're getting on the board. We're just going to go... Okay. Alright, Jed, I'm McWuffin. Tommy, how you doing, man? Top Dog's here. Awesome. Alright, let's get this... Let's get a game going. Alright, so other concerns that people on the internet are voicing, right? Concern number one. Do these ramps get in the way? I would say not really, no. My main focus is right down here. Sure, they are in my line of sight, but do I see myself missing anything? I mean, they do cross kind of right visually where the scope targets are, but no, it's not a hindrance. I don't think it's a hindrance. The play field is back there. I mean, it is a good bit. If you're a real short person, that might be a little bit of a challenge. I understand how the premium, having that up in your face, would be pretty awesome. But, yeah, that's kind of a wait and see based on height. But other than that, this thing flows well. If you miss shots, especially to that guy and that guy and that guy right there, that ball is coming back at you. I do like this target because if the ball is coming this way and it hits, it can roll. It kind of helps roll it to the right, which is nice. Top Road just subbed. Thank you, Rob. Yeah, that's kind of my shot review. Any other questions for Dwight? I know he's on. I don't want to keep him too late. He said he's got coding to do. Any other questions for Dwight? Throw them in chat. I'm working. You're just coding away right now? Yeah. So multitasking champion. Becca. Very important question here, Dwight. Jelly or jam? Oh, that's a great question. That's sort of like spaces or tabs. Jam, of course, because jelly's gross. Crunchy or smooth peanut butter? Gas and showers are both great. Both great? And smooth and crunchy are both great, depending on if you're making a sandwich or not. What do you mean? Well, I don't like the crunchy on the sandwich as much. But just dip a spoon in the bowl, you're fine. Both are great. These are the answers the world wanted, Joel. Pop Dog said favorite mode, so maybe favorite mission. Do you have a favorite mission? In Mandalorian? Yeah. I like a lot of them. I think the... I think the Pokédex one is the best. I do like that the multiball... It's not like there's a number one multiball, and a number two multiball, and a three. Like, you can change. So it's not like when you're starting the game, you play the same first multiball every time. That's very nice. You can change the multiball by hitting the mobile targets. Mobile-type targets change multiball. Okay. Yep. The two-time ramp targets change the misses. Only the left one. Only the left one? Yeah. Oh, so it's not a go left and go right like you have in Turtles? It's not. Maybe it should be. That's a good idea. If I had a lightsaber, see, now that's a good question. She's smart. I think it would be... I think it would be green. It would be what? I think it would be green, because I'm a noob. What color lightsaber would I have? Nice. You should have said the darksaber. I don't want to rule now. Okay, so Hunter, you hit the three targets, and then you hit one of the ramps and go over the appropriate rollover, correct? Correct. Or, for any reason, the ball goes down a rollover. And you can lane change those, so you can decide not to start Hunter if you don't want to. Got it. Jordan, you mean the lightsaber instead of lightsaber. That's something. I don't know what to tell you on that one. That's sneaky. I will tell you Dwight I like this because I'm torn every single time I plunge. Part of me wants to go for that sneaky shot but I also realize that combo shot is also pretty. I like that I like having to decide when I'm doing a plunge because a lot of other games I just hold the left flip and hit the action button and just go you know. But this I like having to think. I like that Jordan said favorite Game of Thrones pinball house which house do you prefer to play so I often play Baratheon because I want to get to the Royal Multiverse but in the new rules I really like Targaryen which game do you think you probably put the most hours in, like, work-wise. It feels like Mandalorian right now. Really? Yeah, for the last, like, ten months, I've spent a lot of hours. Oh, my goodness. And what, like, what takes the most time? Or why this game more than others? Well, there's just a lot here, man. There is. There's a lot of things going on. Let's go see the time! Um, in choreography it takes a long time. All the lights? Is that what you mean by choreography? Choreography is everything. It's the display effects, the sound effects, the speech, the light effects. You know, all the chicken, all of it together. Oh my goodness You know times hundreds hundreds and hundreds of different instances I am just reset here Razor Crest Target. Does the heavy floppy shot switch under the Razor Crest have a name? Yes, the Razor Crest Target. Razor Crest Target, all right. Trumpante. Love that end of ball animation. Yes. The animations, I'm enjoying that. The tilt animation is pretty great. I think people have shown that. We need a Twippy Award for the best tilt ever. Best tilt? Best tilt animation? Jeff, if you're listening, I need a Twippy Award for that animation. I mean, he's adorable. Look at this. It's so great. He's so cool. That is the best. So did you know right then when you were watching? so why do I still why is my ball still here oh it tilted ball one that's why yeah uh big text thank you I'm glad you liked the shirt um uh so when you were watching that episode did you know like this this is good you know like do you that tilt did you know right then yeah yeah well no I didn't know right then I didn't know until I there you go nice and this is, yeah the idea is to hit those targets after it goes through there the idea, yes the idea is to keep the ball in that area and not just immediately drain yeah so there's another feature don't flip, okay never mind so there's another feature like if you can get the ball to go in that little hole right now when it's not a skill stop there's a whole other feature that you can play a whole other sneaky yeah it's called Moth Gideon you'll slowly get the whole Moth Gideon monologue from episode 8 season 1 it's not easy to do no not with that power drain I know let me figure out what we should call this that's ok I got it man Jordan is the king of puns. That is his gift in life. His puns. You just increased Ambush to 2 million, which is freaking huge. So the light... Yeah. You need to make six shots in that U-turn. Here's one. Now shoot it again. right now before it times out before it times out no U-turn it's going away there it is that's one now do it do that three do that two more times there there now before it times out before it times out make it sound so easy Joy it's not easy it's not the ambush is oh man the ambush can be the ambush can be extremely lucrative okay so on a premium though what would have been different? Like after I hit the first one would the thing have come down? The scoop would be down and then the ball would return to the left flipper each time you did it. So you could do them over and over and over again and then you need five instead of three. Come back when you need more work. Okay. So it's a little easier on the premium. This scoop is really nice. It's really nice. Jeez. I'm assuming the people that surround you at Stern and their skill level at football I don't know like we you have average players at Stern I hope that touch your games because this game I'm assuming you do but this game when you watch the screen I'm below average. You're better player than I am. No way. I mean, and Raymond, like Raymond, has been playing the game until, like Raymond and Keith played the game for the first time a couple days ago. That's nuts. Because, like, I mean, Jack, obviously everybody watches Jack James' games. He's a good player. So there are times that he makes games look way easier. For a reveal screen, you know, you've got Keith, you've got Raymond, You got Mike Vinikour hop on. You know, they're making shots. Mike is pretty tense here. So he's a pretty good player. He was pretty close to it, but he's still pretty far. God, I love Bill. Bill Burr's voice makes me so happy. Come on. Jeez. You move your eyesight at all. This game is... So, encounters are a bottleneck because you have to focus on it. Yeah. And it seems that multiple just sort of happen. If you focus on encounters, they're not that hard at all. Really got to save some jetpacks. Zach warned me he warned me he said this game is is is hard like it's a hard game and those outlings will eat you like I don't know things could fall apart very quickly but I like that like I the last thing I want a game that challenges me I want a game that I feel like you know this is the first night I stream it and you know a few weeks down the road I'm going to be cranking through moves like I don't know I'm excited is what I all that means I'm excited Dwayne I'm very excited for that. And I see there's so much depth here. You've talked about that before. You want breath to the coast. Something to do. I'm seeing that for sure. Because here I am just trying to focus on multiball, and I still have all the encounter modes to figure out, not to mention the mission. Like, that's with turtles. I focus so much on the episodes that when I see the people on Pinsides that have posted the fact that they've gotten to Cowabunga, holy cow, like, that's incredible. There's so much to do there. They're not messing around, that's for sure. You've seen people get to Cowabunga? I've never seen it on stream, but I've seen people post pictures, and they're like, I finally made it to Cowabunga last night, and that's incredible. That's, uh, even, I'll cheat and play a four-ball co-op game, or a four-person co-op game by myself. And I'm happy when I make it to final battle, you know, with 12 balls. Right. It's no easy feat. But I like that. As a homeowner, that means it's not going anywhere. So what's your best time on Half Shell Challenge? Half Shell Challenge, 123? 123? That's pretty good. Zach, once I showed Zach how to do it, he played it and played it and played it until he got below 100. So I think his best is like 90-something. Yeah. Which is no joke. 100 is where all of the top scores are. Yeah. I've got to play this today. It's a lot of fun. Best game was 350 million. Ketchup Don Mustard, love the name. Oh, no, I really thought I had that one. So I'm definitely seeing, if you really want to focus on multiball, it's almost safer to just get some best guard, buy it, than hit the shots six times, right? I mean, there's definitely something. Yeah, that's part of the talk, part of the strategy. Jeez, you're making me think. There's a lot of decision-making here. Did Zach say his Turtles is harder in Hefstel Challenge? Yeah, Ramrod, he said the premium, I forget why, but he said the premium makes it harder than in a pro. I kind of tuned him out when he started saying that his half-sport challenge is harder than mine. It's a great mode. You should definitely pat your son on the back for it. That's often wrong. Huh? Zach is often wrong. that's true that's true I don't want to take all of that back if he takes me with him to see Bill I don't even want to meet Bill Burr I just want to go he's going to go yeah if he takes me with him I'll take it all back I'll take it all back live on camera okay that's what's important to Zach getting it on camera yeah getting the apology alright Pirates Multiball alright anything you want to say about Pirates Multiball something I should focus on or so the spinner ok the spinner will pull up your rickdonium the spinner will what so that stable your rickdonium ok see the meter the meter there is like now it's coming up So that's on the left, so I've already hit that. Oh, that's why it's saying it's still straighter. Got it. So now things are green instead of purple for the seal. You're going through waves of pirates. and I just drained and you're clicking nice checkbox because you have a you have 2x playfield going and I had 2x playfield because of the ramp targets or because I hit I didn't no because of the bubble it's easy to get 2x gotcha live catch pinball what I missed alright hi hi live chat I don't have much what do I need to do nobody ever buys armor armor's good with the plus time well here I'm buying it for you now you're going to buy it? you said nobody bought it, I felt bad for it well you're on bottom one so it's not a problem because it's the rest of the game yeah for the rest of the game your armor, your ball saves will be higher alright so if I hit the scoop I start a mission, that's what I'm saying correct there we go that's Dwight, live catch Yes, Dwight is on the mic tonight. So if you've got any questions for Dwight, go for it. Just for doing stand-up. I have a culture of audience. I can tell jokes. You do. We're counting on you. Extra balls. This is probably my favorite. Hello from Brazil. Hello, Brazil. So that's flashing red because it's telling me I could get into an encounter if I win it. That's what I'm hearing. The whole upper plate feels flashing red. Is that part of the mission or is it just telling me about... No, missions never go to the upper plate though. Got it. Only multiple. Encounters and missions stack. Okay. So one of my favorite dad jokes is, do you know what you get when you cross a... Hold on, hold on, hold on. We're waiting. This is going to be good, guys. Are you looking it up? alright let's get this too much build up now alright I will say the middle the middle shot right when I start to feel good boom I think this joke is over the middle shot is definitely accessible from both flippers But I will say, if you miss it, if you miss it, that post is, uh, that post has your name on it, for sure. It's easier from the right, though. Yes, it is easier from the right. It's definitely more open on the right side. So I think I can get into Razor Crest here with one more. and then if I can get enough best ball, I'd buy the third multiball. I can share one. Why did the scarecrow get an award? I know this one, Jordan. It's good, though. No. I'm only on ball one. I'm okay. I'm okay. Because he was outstanding in his field. It's a very good joke, Jordan. Very good. Joy is still on. He must have just had to get up and get something. Alright, let's get this multiball going. Does the premium have a physical lock on the mini playfield using the left clipper? If so, is that a virtual on the pro? What do you mean a physical lock? No, it doesn't hold a ball that I can think of. No. It did not go all the way around. There we go, there's my second multiple. So I'm pretty sure if you hit Boba Fett just boom boom two times you're immediately at two times multiple, or two times. So I see a blue light on the left hand, I'm assuming that would drop it in the upper play That's going to be dropping you up real good. I'll tell you one thing. So my ball save is very long because I have that armor. Ball save is still going. Oh, you're good. Everybody just assumed this dad joke had a lot of buildup. That's all. Oh, I'm sorry about that. You're fine. So what do you get when you cross a dad joke with a rhetorical question? I prefer to hold it in order. I don't know, Dwight. I think that's a joke. I see what you did there. Well done. Gee. I'm telling you, this upper playfield and lower playfield game is, uh... is something. Just as you betrayed our business arrangements, I would gladly break any promise and watch you die. Oh, fuck. So, I was at the bank, And you can tell that COVID is ending because there was a line, and the lady in front of me was sort of elderly, and she looked at me and she said, she asked me to push her over. She pushed her over, yeah. Well done, Dwight. You're just trying to be helpful. I get you. I understand. She asked you to. Yeah. All right, so I have two multi-balls done. So it would be smart to buy my third multiball, but I definitely don't have enough Beskar for that. I might just have to... What did I get? Boom, bonus, multi-sword. I definitely experienced that armor, because during that multi-sword, I felt like my... Oh my goodness, I felt like my balls, Dave, had lasted a long time. I didn't finish the job. Top tier as... Go ahead. So armor's useful if you have the plus. If you can buy the armor and the one next to it. And then you get both equipment and armor. Nice. So is PC. I don't know exactly what I did that game that got me more points. How did you like... Your multiball. Your multiball was good. How do you like the D in child? Is it auto-lit or is it the ramp? That's me. That's what you're laning on. So you're just laning on this. During the child feature, if the ball does not go out one of the other exits, I assume it goes out the D. Makes sense. Wonderful. So my GC was 125, and I think... Ketchup John Mustard, you said your GC was 600? I got a I got a ways to go I got a ways to go and I definitely realize I'm not utilizing the multipliers there's a lot here and if I I think once I wrap my head around preparing for shots so instead of just flipping and finding shots if you know, okay, super jackpot's coming up boom, let's get the let's get the flamethrower on there let's get the multipliers going yeah, makes sense No, somewhere around 350. Okay. Still better than mine. All right. Let's get in. I've just been focusing on multiball. I want to mix it up. Let's try to knock through some missions. That way we can see some cool stuff. I believe in you too, Joel. Dwight, that means a lot. That means a lot. That means a lot. Thank you. Hey, okay. All right. This is for Craig Bobby. So I hit the one blue. No! I hit the loop. Which one's Bobby? What? Which one's Bobby? See, Bobby, he said earlier I was never going to hit that skill shot, and I actually hit it, but I only hit the first one. Yeah. Oh, all right. All right, so left ramp one time, life my mission. If I can get a ball. Left ramp one time. Nope. Come on. Oh, boy. So how come the invisible man turned down the job offer? Because he couldn't see himself doing the job. Couldn't see himself, yeah. So I manage a team, and we do, I just offer support for a living, and we do a virtual call every day. And we end the call where somebody has to tell a joke. and we are now like 700 jokes in because we've been doing it for years. And I have a notepad, like a notes document, and I keep all of them. I keep all of them. I can help you. I love them. I love them. But the other problem is I remember all of them. So I'm getting to the point where I've almost heard every joke. Not every joke. There's obviously more than 700. Okay, so hitting the left ramp one time starts my encounter. If I want to do missions, I have to have the left ramp and the right ramp. No, the left ramp you already have because it's lit solid. So you can shoot the scoop, though, and that would give you the right ramp. You said only... Oh, and then I have to shoot it again. You said that that's only for the first two missions, you said? On factory settings. And careful, you have Hunter lit. There you go. Just the extra ball. And Hunter, if I roll over, then it'll start that. And that's for best start. Yep. Got it. And it will stack. Hunter will stack with a lot of things. Good luck, Mando. So I just got an extra ball. I don't know why the extra ball was for this. You must have, for some reason, your game is giving you extra ball on the third one mission. Okay. I'll take it. And I think it's because you, I think it's because Zach said it like, like, Is there a dynamic setting? Yeah, yeah. So, that probably sucked, and then it went down to one. I mean, I have the GC, so obviously I... Did you see Jordan's joke? What did the ocean say to the beach? No, I didn't see it. Nothing, it just waved. That was the... Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Jordan. Okay. So, um, would I consider, would you consider it an upper playfield or a toy? So, on the pro, it's more of an upper playfield. On the premium, it's a toy. That's fair. A lot of people are, think that it's, like, if you see the premium play, it's not, it's way more than, it's way more than an upper playfield. There's the hunter shot. Now it wants the left ramp. Got it. That's quite a light show. That hunter light show. So, that hunter mode, I had a left orbit, and then the left ramp lit. And I hit the left ramp, but it didn't do anything. it gave you Beskar it gave you it increased how much Beskar you were going to get if you finished the mode gotcha and could you just sit there and keep doing it if you wanted to you can okay yeah you can it's timing out on you though oh what is I like your mode oh I already hit it because I hit the left ramp I meant in this hypothetical where you just kept shooting it over and over again ah okay you're you're risking you're risking it timing out alright Fox City Spinball That's Tom. You're doing great, Travis. All right, Travis, let me hit this scoop from the right flipper for you. Dang it. I do another podcast with two competitive players, Travis Murie, which is Marv Loco, and then Tom. Holy cow, what's Tom's last name? Tom Graff. And Travis is, like, super scared of that scoop from the right flipper. and I don't know I'm already talking trash there we go so you're saying get that and the yeah there you go that's a smart move so I think I am definitely forgetting about my my flamethrower I should use that more often but like right now if you hit the button you'll use your missiles, your whistling birds. So it won't go, so I could do it, so flamethrower right now is selected. That doesn't matter? It's not selected. It depends on, no, it's just fighting through it on the screen to show you all the things you have. Oh, okay, so I can't. What matters is the color of your action button. Gotcha. Okay, so like right now, if I wanted to use flamethrower, I can't. My action button is off. Got it. Okay. Well, it should be for whistling birds. No, it's off. It's off right now. But it's because I'm holding up the flipper. I saw this earlier. I don't think that... See if it comes back on after you flip. See, I'm hitting it, and nothing's happening. Oh, it's because I'm holding the button more than... This is neat. So this is the way to flip through my info? Oh, that's right. That's right. I didn't notice that before, but that's why. Ah. Instant info shuts down your equipment. So if you cradle up too long, you can't use your... And you start instant info, then you can't use your equipment. Gotcha. Okay. Ray Day's here. Raymond Davidson. You've met him, right, Dwight? Yeah. So not very much, actually. Because, you know, we've called him in our basement since we started. So you only have to hit the button. Man, this is freaking me out. It's off the menu tomorrow. Why do I have a mode? Did I just start a multi... I did. So I hit my wits and birds, and then I hit right up the middle so it started a multi-block. And did it finish that mode for me? So wits and birds will never finish the mode. It'll just give you all the shots that are lit, But it will never give you the last shot that one of them shoots. The shoot is always the last shot of all missions. That's what I'm seeing. I'm seeing the shoot is lit right now. There we go. So now that mode is on. And my button is orange, so I can use my flamethrower, but I don't have many shots lit. Wait, so the shoot can be lit. I like that loop. That loop is quick. So now I want to use plane floor to light my 2x. Oh, it's not going to shoot the super. It'll be a 2x. It'll be, actually, it's going to be a 4x. As I drink. You really have to, there it is. Get it down. That, 58 million, that's really nice. That is a crazy shot. That thing whipped around, kind of bounced off this guide on the right, and then ended up going down the left orbit. Like, quick. That was... That's something. But you got 58 million from it. That was pretty cool. I'll take that. Okay, I see scope is lit. Yeah, live pitch ball, but I've been in my basement for 18 months. Oh! Have you? It's not over yet! I just did scope. That bull went whipping around and had all that speed, and I just drilled that 2X target, and boom. Right down the middle. Quick. You've got to be ready to react. That is for sure. But your 58 million stupor is like half your points. You're right. Yeah. So you're saying, though, so that, I had the flamethrower going, so that was 2X. And you had two of your plus 1X flamethrower. And I got those... Scope gives you one of them. Scope gives you one and Bulbathack gave you the other one. Got it. So you were a 6x, you were a 6x your... Super. But what else could I have done to make that higher? If I really wanted to... So if you had Hunter before that, then that would have put you at 10x. 10x. I have a bad feeling about this. How's Hunter going? Easy. So Hunter is... So if you have all... So look at the three... Wait, don't flip. All right, trap up. So see the three plus one x's? Yeah, right here. If you get... Yeah, if you get all three of those, you get plus five x, which would be six x. Oh, and then I'm wrong. It would be 12. So then if you had the flame, then now you're at 12x. So if you're... Your super could have been at 12x if you had all three of those going and the flaming chime. Does that make sense? I thought if you had all three, you only get the plus five. Right, one plus five is six. Oh, it's not plus six, it's plus five. One, it's your, right? Like, if you have one of them going, you're at 2x. If you have two of them going, you're at 3x, and so on. Okay, so if you have all three, though, you're at 5x. You're at plus 5x, which is 6x. Oh, wow. Math, Dwight. Wow. Yeah, that's right. So, Hunter, that was my one Hunter shot. There we go. I like the light show in Hunter. I'm not going to lie. That is really good. So, to end it, if I hit the left orbit right there, the left orbit would have given me more money, but the right orbit is what ends it all, right? Because I saw it was counting down. So, you need two orbits for Hunter, but if you shoot ramps in the middle, it'll increase your Veskar value, you'll collect at the end. Alright, in the Foundry, what do we have here? You can flipper build those, yeah. I gotta go extra ball here. You can heal and extra ball. Let's do it. There you go, do that. I tried to report items on eBay but it was sticking up for me. I have not looked at chat in a while. You seem overwhelmed. There's a lot going on, Jedi. There's a lot. Alright. Extra ball is lit but I don't get it. I have to hit my scoot to get it. I only have ball scoot so... And you have heal so you can... Oh, you heal with the flipper buttons. I like that. That is one setting that I turned on on Turtles, is that ball save is with the flippers instead of the tops, or the slings. Oh! Oh my goodness. Give me that extra ball save. Oh my goodness. Give me that extra ball. There it is. Whew. That extra ball animation is pretty great. Alright, so yellow shot. So left now. There we go. Oh, I got a hurry up going. So not to hurry up the encounter. So even though I'm in the middle of this mission, it's going to have me focus on this encounter. Got it. Okay. Just like that. So let's get back up into it. Nope. My mission is over. Correct? The missions will time out. But I've done three missions. Oh, I had heal, and I didn't flip. I didn't flip over and save my ball. Does heal stay? Does heal stay into the next ball for carrying the next ball or no? It's looking like a no. so I just, I just diffed that one pretty bad. Nice, nice, no! That, that did it last time. My, my loop hit so fast, I need to... Yeah, that would have been, that would have been safe. Okay, two more missions, so I need to hit the left ramp, and the right ramp. I'm not, oh, I have scope going. Scope is, that 2x target has burned me a few times tonight, but it's tempting. It's like your pizza mode, where if I'm in turtles, you know, you're focused on something, and all of a sudden you light the pizza mode, and you just drop everything, and you start mashing the button. Yeah. It's very strange. Okay, that was my extra fall. Alright, so I need to hit the right ramp. Oh, boy. Thank goodness I got down back. Oh, man. It's like all of a sudden I can't hit this right ram There we go So now I'm lit I'm a big fan of the light show that That did that That like strobed towards the scoop That's really nice That was Cory Stoop Huh? Cory Stoop made that I like it And Deadpool I don't know who that is He owns and runs the Louisville store Oh, cool. Are we going to the little show? I have not yet. I have yet to go to a show, but Expo is going to be my first one, and I can't wait. Oh. All right, mission number four. Yeah, in Deadpool, that final blow, like half the play field is pointing you towards that scoop. It's awesome. I like that. I like that strobe. All right, encounter. Let's get in this. Oh, man. I've really got to figure that nudge out. Come on. Oh, whoa. There was some spin on that. I didn't think the music was going to work for pinball, but I was wrong. It works pretty well. I will say yes. The music, I've been listening to it. I got it in my headphones here. this music is, you know, it starts very calm, but every time you get into something, it's changing up, and there's a lot of energy here that I like. Arthur Pendragon, you are the next GC here. So I'm assuming you said you're just coding away there, Dwight. Is there anything I can help you with? You could use a soda. A soda? Are you a Pepsi or Coke kind of guy? Diet Pepsi. The black bottle is the Pepsi one. Zero trigger. Oh, okay. I can't quite get you that, but I'll take a drink of my Diet Coke in your honor. Does that help you? Mission champion. Mission champion, because I got to my fourth. Yeah. I was hoping we could meet you all at Expo Next year would be feasible for Overseas Trial Live catch is in Brazil So yeah that would be kind of tough That was game You should be proud That was very nice I be at Expo next year Are you going to be this year in October Yeah. No, I'll be here this year too. Nice. Yeah, that'll be great. Alright, let's go again. I'm going to play a little past midnight. But you know, this game, I'm just going to go ahead and just beat the whole game. So it may be like a half an hour. So we'll see. We'll see how this goes. All right. What do I want to focus on? Absolutely food product. There's so much to do here, Dwight. It's like, what do I want to do? Do I want to go multiball, try to pursue that path, focus on some encounters? I've really got to get my nudging game figured out up there to get those encounters, blow through those. Did I change my answer to what color lightsaber I want? I think I want white, like Ahsoka had. Ahsoka's white sabers were pretty cool. They are. She is just pretty cool in general. I was really impressed by her episodes, for sure. I can't wait for her spin-off series. Yeah, that'll be a good time. Have you guys been watching Bad Batch? Bad Batch is great. What's Bad Batch? I'm sorry. It's a new spin-off by Dave Filoni that's going on right now. Is it live action? It's on Disney Plus No, it's a cartoon It's a spin-off from Clone Wars The cartoon series Clone Wars Where Ahsoka and Bo-Katan started I know Fliptronic and Becca were all in on Rebels So I'm surprised they haven't I'll have to give that a go Let's hit this skill shot You Craig Bobby There it is, Craig Bobby Okay, hold the left flipper down. I've drained that twice. There we go. Get it to go around. Hold it in there. Hold it in there. Oh, there you go. Now the... There you go. Now the right one. Go around. Nope. Still the right one. There's the right round. There it is. And then it would be... Oh, too late. Yeah. I'm going to get it. I will get that at some point. Let's restart. Let's restart and just nail that. I will say this is a quality... I like this a lot, but the diverter thing that drops the ball into the upper play field, that metal piece right there, etched into that metal piece is the Mandalorian skull and the rhino. That's a good touch. I applaud whoever threw that in there, because otherwise that would have just been a flat metal piece. Tom and maybe Greg Freres put it there, and it was Brian's idea. Yeah, props to that. I applaud that. That's a nice, that's a nice decent one. All right. This is a game I'm realizing it's kind of like Avengers, where you've got to go in with a game plan, because there is, there is a lot to do here. So it's kind of how do you want to, how do you want to tackle it? I like that. Because what I'm saying. It's way better than Avengers. From a streaming standpoint, it gives me a lot to do. Instead of like, all right, this pin's very linear. Let me do this and this and this, and then you don't do it. And you're like, all right, let me do it again. I like this. I like this a lot. This is going to give me, yeah, this is going to give me a lot. Not to mention impossible mode. I can get my wife down here, get some co-op going. one of the coolest modes I've seen so far is the little Mando helmet that's been one of the coolest mods do you ever look at mods like on the pin side thread on the stuff that people add to your games I usually only look at pin side for the club threads and then the Mando and Hype threads I'll tell you the Turtles thread is still very active I like that a lot I need to catch up on this. I mean, really, it's a lot of people that at this point that were like, you know, I was holding out to see what the turns next two releases were, and I finally decided to go with Turtles, and I'm glad I did, that kind of stuff. So it's almost people that are like late to the party, but loving it. So it's pretty neat. And that upper play field during multiball, that is... How does that work with a premium? Same thing? It just takes the ball and tilts it up? Yeah. It tilts it to whatever angle it wants to be. There's my super jackpot, but I don't have enough time to hit it. Links don't work. Alright. Oh, I already have encounter, but... Continue your journey. Oh, just starts mission automatically? Is that done? Attaball. That's an attaball during multiball, which is pretty cool. You have to hit the button though, right? You have to hit the button, and you want to right as your next to last wall is going up. That's made sense. All right, let's get into this mission. Oh, scope. There we go. I like that scope. I like that scope. Because it's quick. It's a good distraction, but it's one and done. I like that. I like that a lot. It's a little one-shot mini-user mode. There's Bo-Katan. I just heard her. Yeah. Katie Stackhoff. Would you prefer to deliver a game to Katie Stackhoff or Bill Burr? Either one. Valid answer. So I can get a multiball going in this if I wanted to. Or you're saying I just use my whistling bird. Boom. Done. Backhand. That left hand. That's how you do it. Okay. So now, can I buy wood fling birds again, and if so, is it more expensive? Wait, wait, so watch this. Keep watching. Don't flip it out. This is still too long, but don't flip it out. Oh, that lies. Oh, it didn't finish your mug. Oh, shoot it again. There you go. So the Whistling Birds did all that, but then I hit the scoop. Yeah. And then, well, you needed the scoop as one of your shots. So the Whistling Birds lit the scoop, and then lit it again for a minute. But now you've completed a mode. You got a time bonus. You got a completion bonus. And your bonus, your end of ball bonus would be higher now. So you want, you want, no, you don't want that. You don't want to drain? Now watch. Watch, watch. See, you got two and a half million for your, two and a half million. yeah too bad your bonus your bonus multiplier wasn't higher yeah that would have been a lot but that completed mission will carry on throughout the game now oh nice so there's definitely incentive to can you time out a mission you can you can time out a mission but there's definitely incentive to complete them is what I mean. He wants him to win. It's funny, when I first started up the game, just instinctually, I was like, I want to pick Raphael, so my mission's already lit. You know, like, that was my first thought, which I thought was funny. Jeez, out the outline. Which turtle do you play with the most? Um, I like, um, let me think about that. Is there a mode representing the web cannon? Somebody asked that. The web, it's, there's an encounter, and we see the rock, well there's two, they're both encounters. So one thing I have seen that I haven't tried for, so right now the left orbit is flashing, and it's flashing child. So if I hit that left orbit, it's going to keep it up there and give me a mystery? Is that basically what's going on? Yep, yep, yep. It's either orbit, left or right. Okay, Duffman is here. So, boy, what do you do when you have coders block? Is there something that helps you develop ideas? Well, yeah, I get everybody else. It happens all the time, and I just get everybody else on Zoom now that we have COVID. And, you know, we have like a five-way meeting, and what should we do? Usually, somebody figures it out. And lately we've been crediting Pop-Tarts to answering all of our tough questions. Pop-Tarts? Yeah. The pastry snack? Oh. So Pop-Tarts help you think up cool rules. What flavor specifically? So there's only two good answers for that. Okay. The cherry or the brown sugar. Brown sugar is where it's at. Brown sugar. So good. Deceptible answer. Yeah. Brown sugar is... I like cherry. I also like the blueberry one. But growing up... Blueberry is a good third. Growing up, though, brown sugar... And I will tell you, about five years ago, we saw there was a peanut butter. And the peanut butter one is very good. Oh, I haven't seen that one. But peanut butter, you're stepping outside of, like, breakfast. You know, like, I feel like the other ones, for some reason, you can kind of justify being a breakfast treat. Yeah, yeah. The peanut butter Pop-Tart, though, you're just straight-up dessert at that point. But do you eat yours, do you toast them, or do you just eat it straight cold? Cold. Oh, yeah. That's a diet Ryan Policky. Cold is the way to go. My wife thinks that's absurd. Like, Pop-Tarts are meant to be microwaved. Why in the world would you eat it cold? Because it's delicious, is the answer. So, if it's not frosted and you put it in a real toaster and then put butter on top, it's pretty great. I have never buttered my Pop-Tart, but Dwight, I think you're onto something. Yeah, if it's not, frost it, though. Yeah, makes sense. Yeah, yeah. Okay, life tip. Trump actually knows. Microwave Pop-Tarts? No, like toaster Pop-Tarts. For this quiet chat, this or that, premium or pro, and lunch with our host? No, oh, so they're saying you can either get a premium or you get a pro, but you get lunch. Are you saying with our host, like with me? I don't. Go with the premium, guys. I'm not that cool. Like cold pizza, love how it's pituitary. I'm a fan of cold pizza. I don't know. Dwight, do you? Yeah, cold pizza's good. Where am I going here? This is ball one. But recently, I discovered the pizza button in the microwave, and it cooks it really, really, really, really slow. Like it takes about six minutes to cook a pizza pizza. And when it's done, it's pretty good. I look up. I look up for one thing. This game you've got to focus on. You've got to focus, Dwight. There's a... I like it. There's a lot to keep my attention here. Like that's one thing I know we've talked about Deadpool, but Raymond's even said it. He goes, what I like about Deadpool is that the game he can kind of zone out and he can just hit shots and relax a little bit. And that's a nice change of pace. This is not that. This game is like a buffet that's just, and you're really hungry. Like, I am excited. There is a lot here to unwrap, a lot. So well done on that. Thanks, man. I don't think there is such a thing as bad pizza. No, pizza's so good. Let's try that again. And I'm assuming you had ideas that you did not, that you couldn't fit into this, which is insane. There's a lot here. All right, mission. So I've hit the right ramp, that's why it's solid. Why do you want me to leave? Huh? Aim Time Television wants me to leave. Oh, Rod Dog? That's his name. I don't know why he'd want you to leave. That doesn't make any sense. Rod Dog, can you tell Dwight to leave for a couple minutes? Ryan, whatever you can say. Whatever you say to me, you can say in front of Dwight. Okay, I've gone. Go ahead. Go ahead and do your thing. I've left. Let me mute Dwight here. Yeah. Stick your tongue out. Come on. Come on. Left-hand. Oh, wow. Okay, I'll take that. And then... Okay, never mind. I thought I had it. I thought I got lucky with the Lazarus. I think Ryan left Dwight, so you can... Dwight, Father's Day is coming. what's a perfect gift for a pinhead like yourself? That's a good question. A Game of Thrones. A game of just a Game of Thrones pin. Is that what you're saying? Yeah. Okay, the perfect gift is a Game of Thrones pinball machine. That's fair. That's fair. Let's go. Let me look for the guy. If you guys really loved me, you guys would give me a Game of Thrones. pro or premium? I know it's pretty good a premium I love the new rules of Game of Thrones got it premium oh man I think I think I think the premium really made great use out of that I mean the new rules man struggle bus let's get back into that I do like that that the encounter is it stays lit so when you biff it you can get right back into it Joel same question perfect Father's Day gift for me what's our price range if our price range is the cost of a premium pinball machine, then I'll take one. I would love a sheet of Invisiglass. I would love a sheet of, or any kind of that. Because with streaming, I'm very self-conscious of the glare, and yet I'm too cheap to justify buying a sheet of glass. That's why Invisiglass is great. Yeah, I know. That's the point of a gift, right? You want a gift where it's something you've won, but you can never justify buying yourself. Isn't that the point of a gift? You want to reduce glare on cheap? Use Rain-X? I've never heard that. All right, here's the deal, Dwight. This is going to be my last game. We're past 12. I'm out of here after this. Awesome. What I will tell you is right now, I don't know if you've ever watched the stream, but George, don't panic flip, he does these versus streams. So he actually uses some really cool stuff with remote desktop and what, and he pulls in two games at once. And so he's actually streaming, so we're going to have to go over that. But where can I get some Draenex? Nice. So, yeah, we're going to definitely rate him. He started just a few minutes ago for sure. But let's have a good game here. Dwight, I am so grateful that you stuck around this entire stream. That's awesome. I really appreciate that. Good problem, man. What do I want to do? What do I want to do? Seraph, how you doing, mate? Don't forget to WD-40. Yeah, right. I want that skill shot. That's what I want. Hold on to the run. Yeah. I held it. There's a lot more going up there than people realize with Baby Yoda. Is that a thing, by the way, in the office? Does anybody get a set when you call it Robu or Baby Yoda? Do you have a preference? No. No, I have no preference. We all say the baby. We all say baby, you know. Now we say child. The child. Makes sense. No problem, guys. And I got to give Dwight credit. This was literally, I learned that I was getting this. I learned that I was getting this about, well, last night I knew that Zach said he had one. he thinks I could stream, but I didn't know he was coming today until today. And I just messaged Dwight, and I said, hey, I'm streaming this game. Any chance that, you know, you'd want to hop on some night and chat it up? And here we are a few hours later. So way to roll with the punches, Dwight. That's pretty awesome. I got to beat these. Let's go. Mission. Nope. Counter or mission? Let's go counter. Here we go. Lester wants to know what the code name for this game was. Jenny. Jenny. What's the code name of the game? Here we go. Let's get this. Here's your problem. Thanks a lot. Here's your weapon. Let's get this encounter done. What's up? It's Jenny with a J. And then a high E at the end. There we go. What's the significance? You said you'd have to ask somebody else, but I think somebody hinted at earlier that Brian Eddy's girlfriend's name is Jenny. So that's kind of neat. There we go. There we go. Oh! Oh! Oh, that inner loop. Uh, no. Let's get this extra ball. Yeah. Something really, really like Forrest Gump. Yeah. Wrong Jenny, but close. Extra ball. There we go. RGR. RGR. Hey, hey. Howdy, man. Not Gina. No. There we go. Oh, man. I got to figure that rejection out. Can you do a hunter during a mission or no? Yeah, you can. Yeah, I think I just did it. So I have a hunter, a mission, a multiball. The only thing I don't have is an encounter, which I did have running. But the encounter is not going to happen during the multiball. Yeah, the first stream has prototype wire forms. The real wire forms have extra rails, so the real wire forms, the ball will not fall off easily. Oh, boy. How about you come over here and give me a hand? So when was the last time, well, never mind, you were at the factory for the stream, the reveal stream, But you're really not going into the factory much at all, are you? One, two, three, four. Nice. I love that shaker motor. Just hit that scope shot. That whole game felt like it was about to shake off the ground. It was great. Foundry. What am I buying here? Welcome to the Foundry. 1 a.m. here. Thanks for the stream. Live catch. Appreciate it, man. Thanks for being here. All right. What am I buying? What am I buying? Yeah, it's about my bedtime, too. Let's get both items. Why would you not? Two items. So that means I have lightings to go. I want my ball save. I'm just going to get the ball. You can get start mission and, okay. All right. Or not. Because I can't. Oh, I see what you're saying. You could do the other one. You could have passed as well. Yeah. If you wanted to save your money, you could have passed. Yeah, but I want that heel. Okay. I like that. I like that you can buy some insurance. Um, I got a better on midnight. Come on. Midnight. I like to be even, watch TV for about an hour, and then fall asleep. Oh, that was a good, that was a better one. Once again, trained down the middle, so I didn't get to use my heel. I don't like losing that. On the GDR, it's really hard for me to pick. I like both Star Wars. Both of them, both of them, right? I really love, in the other one, how you can change paths. I like the video mode. I like, there's a lot about the other game I really like. Yeah, the play field is pretty great. Hmm. Get this encounter going. Go to Mike, how we doing? Ah, man. I really got to figure that timing out on when best to nudge. Yeah, that mini playfield is far from a gimme. All right, I wish I had whistling birds right now. There's a lot of shots here. Yeah, that scoop is really testable. It is. It's a good thunk. like you. Um, I have flamethrower. That doesn't... So this is flashing yellow. What would that do for me? It progress the mission you're in. Oh, that's the jetpack, right? That's good. That's good. Oh! What if... I did what I had to. Orbits don't hit lanes. It's not really five lanes. It's the left orbit, three lanes, and then a exit. Yeah, missions and encounters from staff. I've already hit the right, so I want to hit the left. It's not five rollover, either. There's not a rollover for the T's. Don't go anywhere! I do like Brian's, uh, Brian Eddy's, like, he doesn't do three pop bumpers. You know, Shadow only had two. Um, Stranger Things only had two. This only has two. Yeah. I wonder if that's, like, a philosophy from still. You're right. Do you know if any Mandos are going to any of the actors? Well, hopefully Zach can take one to Bill Burr. Carl wanted to put him on the scene. I'm not sure if he's going to get one. There we go. Defeat the Mudhorn. Shoot the blinking shots. All right. So why is that shot blue? The left orbit is blue and everything else not? So, because the orbits, um, the orbits build the value in this mode, and then the yellow shots collect them. Ah. It's the yellow shots you need, but the blue shots add to it. No way! That was a backdoor right down the middle. Hit that Razorcrest target and didn't divert at all. I like that. That would have been a good, yeah, like everything was lit. That would have been a great flamethrower move. Oh, you are. So I know you. Awesome. It was great meeting you in Australia. Oh, thanks, Dakota. I think it's pretty good, too. It's the only... So, that Star Wars spin is the only mobile machine I own right now. It's the only NunaBox game I've ever bought, and it's the only Stern I've ever bought. Oh, bummer. Fell apart there on that last ball. All right. Well, guys, I don't know about you, but Dwight, nothing but love for you, man. Thank you for not only coming out and being on the stream and participating, but, yeah, thanks for everything you've done, especially this game, Turtles, Star Wars. I mean, you've given us a lot of joy, that's for sure. So really appreciate you in that. We make games without pop-overs once in a while. Thanks, Joel. Joel, I had a good time. Yeah. Well, everybody, Dwight Sullivan, yeah, you have a great night. I know you stayed up late. You spent quite a while with us. And, yeah, can't thank you enough, Dwight. Absolutely. Later, guys. Yeah. I will talk to you later. See you later, Dwight. All right, everyone. What can you say? I've played this game now, what, two and a half hours, maybe three hours. I will tell you, my initial, like, 30 minutes. Well, now how do you top that? Exactly, yeah. My initial 30 minutes was just like, holy cow, I've got to find these shots because there are some dangerous things. That post is dangerous. That post is dangerous. The 2x target is dangerous. Not to mention just the more you play it, the more you start to realize, like, you know, what do you focus on? What do you even do? So I have no doubt that competitive people are going to really eat this up, really strategize. Like, okay, do this. in the way that Dwight's describing some of these modes, you know, like, okay, that mode, you build the target, you build the value with this shot, but then you hit your other shots, throw a flamethrower in there, maybe hit your Boba Fett targets beforehand. I mean, holy cow. Jordan, Deadpool or Mando? I mean, right now, this has been a tiring day. Part of me would like to play some Deadpool just to relax, but I will tell you, from a streaming standpoint, that just flew by. Zachary, yeah. No, that just flew by because there's so many different ways to play it. There's so many different things to do that I'm excited about that. Like, I know when I was streaming Deadpool last night, you know, once you've played it two hours in, you're like, okay, I feel like I'm going to do the same thing. Do I want to go for quests or do I want to go for the villains? But with this, holy cow, it's just like, where do you even, I mean, what do you want to do? And I really like that. So I'm very excited. I'm very excited. about the depth or the breadth of code that's here. It shoots well. It shoots well. I know there was a lot of concern for this inner shot, and I will tell you that inner shot is not a consistent thing. It is not consistent. I'm in love with flipping out pinball. Thank you, Dwight. It is not consistent. What I mean by that, it's not like it's a consistent feed, you know, to the right flipper or something like that. That thing fed me to the right flipper sometimes. There was one time that that thing fed all the way into the left out lane. I mean, you don't know what you're going to get, but I do like that shot. The right ramp is definitely backhandable. Shoot, I meant flip shot again. That's fair. So much hurdles for Mando. Sorry, Dwight. That's not a sorry. You sold it to get another Dwight game. That's great. You can definitely backhand that right ramp. It is a quick. It is a quick flip with the right flipper. The left ramp is definitely turned. I mean, it's definitely pointed towards the right flipper, but you can backhand it. The backhand hits it right about there, and it kind of ricochets up. The upper play field on this is a challenge. It's a good challenge, though. I like it. I definitely think you can get good at it, but you have to nudge. You have got to nudge when you're up there. So if you have friends or family members that never nudge their games, they may struggle in that upper play field but this may be a good game to teach them to nudge because you need to up there so I definitely think the premium when you watch the premium streams they cradle up on that left flipper and the ball just feeds it and then they bounce away this is going to take a little more skill I definitely think, I don't know without playing the premium I'll be very curious which play field ends up being more challenging but I like it and it's hard to see this without being in person, but there's actually some really cool depth back there. The Grogu action figure is actually very well sculpted, and same with the Razor Crest. There's a lot of detail on that, a lot of detail on that. So, do these block my line of sight? No, not really. I definitely think the wire forms would block it less, but this is not an end-all be-all. Would a short kid have trouble seeing the upper flipper, upper play field? Potentially. Potentially. And what I mean by that is I can see it well, but I'm 6'4". So if I drop down another foot, the problem is this cluster of ramp right here, this clear ramp, is kind of in that line of sight. So if you drop down low enough, I mean, luckily it is clear, but potentially. You would definitely, I mean, if you're on the shorter side, the premium would, I mean, Dwight says that thing raises up and it's almost touching the glass. You would definitely see it better on the premium. But what I will say with these ramps, these ramps are attached literally with one screw, and then there's a tab here that just slides into the other ramp. So I could literally unscrew this one screw and I'd just slide out this ramp. So that's going to be like one of the easiest things to mod ever. No doubt that somebody will mod that. Get the game with some shorter legs on a pinball machine. Yeah, yeah. What up, Joe? What else to say, though? I will tell you I heard a lot of voices, and I know I had direct audio going, so I hope everybody else heard that too. The music changes well. What I will say is I know there's a lot of video clips there that I'm not seeing because I'm focusing on the table. So I do think this will be a fun game for other people to watch play. But, yeah, overall, first impression, great sound of video. Trumpacci, yeah, you know. You heard it. There's just a lot here. There's just so much strategy, and that's the thing. I think so many people are going to play it differently. While some people want protection, they want to get the heal, they want to get the extra ball, other people are like, no, let me get – advance me quicker, you know. This is really neat. This is really neat. So I'm very excited, very excited to have this to play and stream, and I think we're going to see a lot of different streamers do a lot of different stuff with it, for sure. For sure. Well, all right. Well, let's do a raid here. Appreciate all the views. If you don't know who I am, my name is Joel. I typically do just another pinball stream. but I've been working for not working but I've been Zach and Nicole have been awesome and I live relatively close to them so they actually dropped this off for me to stream so I stream from flipping out every other Thursday night typically 10 to midnight 10 to 1230 but on my channel I stream every single Wednesday from 10 to 1230 so I will definitely be streaming this again this upcoming Wednesday but yeah I can't believe I got Zach or Dwight on stream incredible shooter great stream bud came in late very cool awesome It's going to be awesome that Big Z dropped his. I know. I'm very grateful for Zach. And, yes. But, yeah, thank you. Thank you, everybody that was here. Thank you for the follows. Thank you for the subs. And if there's anything that I can do for anybody, feel free to shoot me a message. Just know the Piml at gmail.com or Joel Bob on Pinside. Fliptronic, yeah. Dwight, I'll hit you up, Jordan. Dwight was actually quite easy. to get on stream. So, uh, I have no doubt that I bet you could get him on for, for Game of Thrones, um, which is awesome, but let's get this raid going. So raid, raid, don't panic. All right. Appreciate you everybody. Uh, everybody have a great time with George and, and, uh, Tommy and, um, hopefully I'll see you guys on Wednesday. Otherwise, uh, have a great night, have a great rest of the week. And, um, yeah, thanks for being here.
