## Analysis

Don't Panic Flip (George) streams gameplay and discussion of Rush (Stern LE), his final night with the machine before selling it. He explores Rush's deep ruleset, discusses game mechanics including the 2112 wizard mode and year-progression system, compares it favorably to other recent releases like Jurassic Park, and announces plans to acquire Foo Fighters and Pulp Fiction. Tangentially discusses Star Wars Pinball's design issues and the secondary market in Colorado.

### Key Claims

- [HIGH] Rush's ruleset is comparable to or better than Jurassic Park from a rules perspective — _George directly comparing games: 'This gives Tee'd Off me Jurassic Park a run for its mate/man... rules wise I think this beats it'_
- [MEDIUM] Colorado pinball market is flooded with 40+ machines for sale at drastically reduced prices — _George states: 'the market 'in there' or similar interjection Colorado is flooded. There's, I'm guessing, like 40 The Games for sale and they're all dropping drastically 'in there' or similar interjection price'_
- [MEDIUM] Bond 60th Anniversary is holding its value well and is likely to maintain resale value — _George reporting feedback from collectors: 'he is deliriously happy with the game... thinking there's just not that many, and it's likely going Tee'd Off maintain its value'_
- [HIGH] Rush's Book Two mode is extremely difficult and requires neuroplasticity/skill George doesn't possess — _George directly states: 'I don't think I will ever finish book two. I don't have the neuroplasticity Tee'd Off on the fly rewire my The Brain Tee'd Off use the flippers differently'_
- [MEDIUM] Star Wars Pinball's pop bumpers are poorly designed and largely ineffective gameplay-wise — _George: 'the pops aren't dangerous at all. Like, those pops 'in there' or similar interjection the upper right corner don't do anything'_
- [MEDIUM] Star Wars Premium Edition has worse ramp routing than Pro model, particularly the Death Star shot — _George explains: 'F the ramp into the Death Star shot on the Premium Edition because it rejects way too often... much easier shot, and it's backhandable consistently on the Stern 'AC/DC (Pro Vault Edition)''_
- [HIGH] Foo Fighters and Pulp Fiction were George's two best machines to purchase before Texas Pinball Festival — _George states: 'I'm happy going into TPS that those are the two The The Games I had purchased because those were the two The The Games I could not get enough of'_
- [HIGH] George sold TMNT, S.T.A.R.S., TNA, and Rush (all LE editions) quickly in Colorado's oversaturated market — _George: 'I put them up at what I would consider competitive pricing... all four sold 'in there' or similar interjection just a few days'_

### Signals

- **[competitive_signal]** Book Two of Rush wizard mode represents extreme difficulty barrier requiring specific skill progression that George acknowledges he cannot achieve (confidence: high) — George states: 'I don't think I will ever finish book two... I couldn't get past the second phase where it's just one flipper... needs Tee'd Off happen Tee'd Off get there'
- **[design_philosophy]** Rush's theme (band/album) is limiting factor for long-term appeal despite excellent ruleset; George suggests different theme would increase staying power (confidence: medium) — George: 'if this wasn't Rush, if this was a different theme, I think it would have a lot more staying power is all'
- **[design_philosophy]** Rush Pinball features sophisticated year-progression system where scoring 100M+ in modes doubles years earned; requires both grinding and skill optimization for wizard mode access (confidence: high) — George discovers multiplier mechanic mid-stream: scoring high 'doubles the number of years you're given', affecting 2112 wizard mode progression

I don't even know how many pops are back there... I'Stern 'AC/DC (Premium Vault Edition)' never seen the pops'

 Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Have you been inundated with ads and questions related to... Open your eyes, what can you see around? Wind of the open sky, over the sky and the sound. This is a dream, getting the royal scar, holding a diamond blade, throwing it far. Oh, yeah. You never loved me, mom. Fear not, for you are found. You are home, and there is no going back. No one leaves this place. But what is this place? The answer is the Pinball Network. Surrounded by cosmic gateways, TPN is on the edge of the known and unknown. It is the collection point for all lost and unloved things. Like you. But here on TPN, you are significant. You are valuable. Here, you are loved. Where once you were nothing, now you are something. You are the property of the Pinball Network. Congratulations. You will meet with the Pinball Network. Becans. Prepare yourself. Prepare yourself. You are now meeting the Pinball Network. Good evening, everyone. My name is George. Oh, I don't know that that sound is playing to the wrong place. I, Ski-Doo, let's be level-headed here. That's a point immediately. Hopefully the sound is coming through okay. Dr. Curly Tech, I, Ski-Doo, Jedi McMuffin coming in with a raid mid-intro. Good evening, Dice. Good evening, fellow denizens of the Pinscher Net, and welcome back to the Don't Panic Flip, the only pinball show on the web that knows exactly where Sasquatch is hiding. And no, we're not going to tell you. He told George that in confidence. Yes, Dice. That was a fun intro. Dice, I've got trigger sounds for a few people. Reset back up. And I'm actually building a whole new system to keep track of individual user XP while they're on the screen. So, like, as you do things from – as you interact, you level yourself up. And then as you level up, as you do things, they're worth more. It's kind of a fun little, oh, wow. Oh, dice. I take it back. Flipstream, BorgDog. Hi, welcome. I was about to say, darn it, I forgot to set the colors, but all the colors just changed. Flipstream just set everything to Flipstream Blue, it looks like. I don't know if you can see that in the background. We're figuring stuff out. We're making it up as we go along. And, yeah, yeah. I'm really surprised it handled all of that well. Also, getting rated so we get leveled up mid-intro immediately switches over and starts playing the next intro. So we got two different intros. On top of that, I've got a great little video now playing, which was the Yeet Skirt video from SNL when the level up happens. We may be figuring stuff out, but can you see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch? Which, by the way, Zoe had Cinnamon Toast Crunch for the first time. That is now her new favorite cereal. So, you know, on the vein of cereals, perfect segue. Not exactly sure how we got there. but that is Zoe's newest favorite cereal. How is everyone tonight? I'm going to go play some music. Tonight we're doing pop punk. Okay. That should be coming through now. Yes, it is. Okay, we're good. Now I want cereal. Hey, Dice has a question of the night. I will definitely have it. Dice, throw the question down. I want to feel the gauntlet here. Yay, George is finding playing Ska. There is some Ska, yes. I don't yet have a Ska playlist because I don't listen to that much Ska. But if I did, it would be mostly Real Big Fish and Less Than Jake. And I don't know if Goldfinger is technically Ska. I feel like they have Ska songs. what is in your opinion the greatest breakup album of all time interesting like breaking up with somebody is that the nine inch nails the fragile i just think it's a great album but it also happens to be kind of mean um also what about uh rearrange the album from lincoln uh lint biscuit Goldfinger's Hang Ups, yes. Ice Kee Doo has Cinnamon Toast Crunch Sugar Cookie Cereal. Wow. Way to step that up. We go from Cinnamon Toast Crunch, which is already a fairly sugary cereal, to Sugar Cookie. Yeah, okay. Okay. That's a perfect example. Good. Dice. Is this, uh, did this question have, like, a contextual meaning, or was this just a random question? CMK wanting to know TPF stories. Yes, Alex is giant. Uh, and I, uh, here's, this was fun. This was fun. I see, I see Alex and Amanda, his fiancée, kind of walking towards us. And we just got there. I just got my badge. And it doesn't open up for, like, another five or six hours. Kiwi Frenzy, happy Friday. Almost Friday. Well, from the future. Got it. We're still in Thursday land here. But happy Friday to you. So I see him. And I do one of these. I, like, tap Jay-Z and I point. And it's really easy to see Alex because he is, like, 6'5", 6'6". And I point at him. And I'm like, I'll be right back. and I'm like mid-conversation. There's like eight people in a big circle chatting, and I'm like, I will be right back. So I sneak over, and I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm going to like fake tackle him. Actually, I really haven't decided at this point what I'm going to do, but at the last second, Alex sees me, and when I go to tackle him, he picks me up in a bear hug and just starts throwing me all over the place. My feet are swinging well above his head. And Chasey saw it. And the whole time I'm like out of breath trying to laugh. But he's, yeah, he's lip-streamed. He adjusted my spine. It wasn't a positive experience. But he finally set me down. It wasn't, like you'd think he'd do that a couple times and it'd be fine. But like people had to duck out of the way. Like, Jack would have had to abduct his head. My feet were flying everywhere. I was out of breath. I couldn't breathe. Like, 60 to maybe 90 seconds later, he finally sets me down. And it was one of those, like, oh, my back. I've never felt like so old. It's right now. So I got him when he wasn't looking later. And I'm like, I get up behind him. I grab him around the stomach. And I pick him up. And I'm like, he's really heavy. So I set him down, and I'm like, whew, that's heavy. And he looks at me, and then he just does one of these, grabs me around the neck, and jumps into my arms. So I've got this giant dude, and I threw it, that was up on Facebook. So if you saw the picture on Facebook, that is Alex jumping into my arms and full-on, hands back, just like, this is so relaxing, and I'm holding him for roughly about 60 seconds. This was, yeah, CMK, at TPF, assume booze is always happening at all times. Everybody was Kung Fu Georging, yes. this is the story of the night that George accidentally roundhouse kicked Jack in the face and that's like looking back I am so happy that nobody got hurt wait you're getting rid of Rush but don't have a replacement well so Raiden um yes we do need to figure out a replacement but here's what happened I bought Foo Fighters and Pulp Fiction and I didn't know when I was going to get asked to pay for both and I had one too many games here because I can only handle four and I wasn't sure what was going to sell because the market in Colorado is flooded. There's, I'm guessing, like 40 games for sale and they're all dropping drastically in price. So I put everything up for sale except Mandalorian, which was S.T.A.R.S., TMMT, TNA, and Rush. And I put them up at what I would consider competitive pricing. Like, no messing around. It was just they were really solid deals. And all four sold in just a few days. TMNT, I was thinking, I'm like, okay, you know what? I guess I'll keep TMNT. And last night while I was hung with Joel, I got a deposit on TMNT. And I'm like, well, that's it. I now have one game as of Tuesday next week. So, right. So that happened. So I've got Foo Fighters coming, and that will be here soon. And I'm hoping relatively soon. I know, Dice, you will be out here soon. And Pulp Fiction, I don't know when that's going to be here. It sounds like it could be a month from now, or it could be the end of the year. Star Wars actually is a lot of fun. And Ray Day, I got you. Selling stuff is so weird. I recently listed the Star Wars Pro Dirty Harry and Family Guy. You had a Family Guy? I've been trying to find a Family Guy. Well, yeah, Ray Day. So that's been the weird question. I've never, with both Russian TMNT and having the cash, like, I think at this point I could have one of whatever game I want and have Foo Fighters, Mandalorian, the Foo Fighters premium, Mandalorian premium, and a third game, which actually is really nice. That leaves me a little bit of room in my living room. Four games would be a little bit better. So I hit up Zach, and I'm like, Zach, do you have a Bond 60th? Is it even a possibility? Do I factor a Bond 60th into the equation? And Zach has a Bond 60th. So, me, that is, it's doable. There's no question. But it would be nice if I got a game and, like, paid down a little bit of credit card debt. But a game and credit card debt would be nice. So, but Bond 60th is very doable after the two games. Yeah, it's doable. Borg Dog, I think it looks great. So immediately, Ray Day, I hit up Tom Graff, and I hit him up earlier today, and he was amazing and got back to me really quickly. And I'm like, Tom, what do you think of Bond 60th? Is it a thing? Is it, like, are you happy that you got it? And evidently, he is deliriously happy with the game. On top of that, he mentioned another friend who picked it up who was similarly deliriously happy, and they're both on the same page with regards to value, thinking there's just not that many, and it's likely going to maintain its value. So if I picked it up and decided to get rid of it in a year, I hopefully wouldn't be losing much, if not anything, on that. Jedi! Ooh! Welcome to the stream. Thank you so much for that raid. My hat's off to you. Okay, that's basically the entire stream is basically saying, do it, get Bond 60th. Oh, and keep it in the box, says Dice. I don't do that. I can't. I want my toys. I want to play with them. I'm perfectly fine to sell them when I'm done with them. But I don't know that I could keep it in the box. But here's the cool thing, Dice. if I got Bond 60th, if I could have it before you get here. Like, that's how quickly I could get it out. And then I feel like Jedi, you would have to come back out here sooner rather than later. Two weeks and six days to get it. Yeah, so, of course, when I was talking to Zach, who's, I think, still on vacation right now, So chatting via vacation, he posted a really cool picture of him dressed as a pirate today. He's like, I've got one, and here's the shipping details. Oh, shucks. Do I have to? I know. Well, we just got to find a really good time where the pricing is cheap. Hopefully, by the way, Jedi, I ask everybody this when, hey, you're a raider from Jedi McMuffin. I guess I should be proud your rush got sold it means it's an LE that held its value great A this game you should be proud you should be proud no matter what I got the last few times I've played this I've got both book 1 and book 2 and I realized somebody pointed it out and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but like I just blasted through all of the modes I did the thing that I do in every game where all I want to do is get to the end I just wanted to get to 2112 But when I blasted through the modes, I only got to the year 2061. I wasn't attempting for score or anything. And then somebody in the chat's like, oh, if you score 100 million or more in each mode, it doubles the number of years you're given by completing the mode. And in my mind, I'm like, God damn it. And I'm swearing that is my one use. Like, not only is this game deep and does it have rules and the modes are fantastic because each of them is its own minigame. It's like everything I want out of software. But on top of that, in order to get to the wizard mode, I have to score points. Yeah, you can fast track your years if you score higher. Otherwise, you could just grind. Oh, yeah, and then I started going through the six modes, but I just didn't have it in me at that point. Like, I'd already been playing for, like, 30 or 40 minutes through both book one and book two. Book two, by the way, on top of everything else, like, I have nothing but compliments on this game. This, this, nothing is a forever keeper in this house, ever. But if this wasn't Rush, if this was a different theme, I think it would have a lot more staying power is all. At the same time, oh man, where was I going with that? Book two, book two is wild. Book two is, it's kind of like I want to get my, like, I want somebody else to play book two when I get there. Like, I don't think I will ever finish book two. I don't, I don't have the brain dexterity, sorry, it's the, there's an actual term, I don't have the neuroplasticity to on the fly rewire my brain to use the flippers differently. That and getting to book two, I think, now three times in the past couple of weeks, I've made that determination. I think it's just a big loss. I couldn't even get past the first phase the last time. I know I did. I made it past the first. I couldn't get past the second phase where it's just one flipper. So a lot of practice, I think. I think needs to happen to get there. But regardless, yeah, take a bow, take whatever. This game is a, I feel like a rules masterpiece. It really is. This gives to me Jurassic Park a run for its money. Jurassic Park just has dinosaurs. And in my opinion, maybe a little bit more flowy of a, I don't know about flowy, just I still really like Jurassic Park. but rules wise I think this beats it so yeah congrats this game is fantastic also you probably need some multiball supers probably and some 1,2,3 combos I have the combos I'm assuming when you say the 1,2,3 combos I also have to get the jackpot because I will trigger the combos constantly but I usually miss the jackpot We do have more tequila to taste, although, Jedi, we actually had a really good time with the tequila. And I don't know if I started to ask a question. Jedi, was the king-size bed, was that comfortable? Was the basement set up with everything, was it comfortable? I think I've had Manu over recently. I had yourself. Who else has been over here? Oh, yeah, my cousin. Who needs to come over and stream with me again? He now lives down the street. Mr. J. Crane, welcome. Are you looking down at a Foo Fighter and we can't see it, DPF? Oh, no, I'm sorry. Here you go. Boom. This is Rush. I think this is going to be our last night on Rush. So Foo Fighters is coming. I don't know exactly when it will get here. Pulp Fiction is coming and I have no idea when that's going to get here and then trying to decide what to get next and yes Bond 60th is technically on the table, Squalito yeah and Mr. J. Crane obviously based on the name I don't remember but if we met at TPF hopefully I wasn't a jerk or anything oh you were with Marty, oh my god I think I was actually a jerk. What I was trying to do with Marty is let him know that I brought a bunch of gin, but we accidentally drank it all, which was why I was fairly intoxicated. Oh, wait, which Marty? Marty as in Game Club Central, right? The guy with the long hair that was hanging out with Game Club Central. That Marty. I was thinking Marty from Final Round Pinball Podcast and Haggis Pinball. Yes. Okay, awesome. Well, Mr. J. Crane, it was great meeting you. The next one rhymes with doobie-scoot. That's not happening here. Definitely not. And let's see here. Oh, quite comfy. I slept like a baby. Okay, awesome. Jedi, thank you. And if you're ever stuck on years, there's an instant info page showing which ones are available. If it says, like, 10 out of 10, it means no more years from that category. Oh. Okay. I want to see. multivolve needed i don't think i've actually ever looked at the status screen uh album status zero of ten one two three combos light time machine for albums combo jackpot value um rush fly by night the album status machine perks uh time machine years breakdown so there's five Oh, is that zero of ten are those years that you can get from each one of these? So if you get ten out of ten, that means you got ten years from free will. Hmm. Yep, okay, cool. That makes a lot of sense. So I was skipping through modes and doing nothing in multiballs. Like, I was draining out of multiballs just to trigger them and then get moving on. So that totally explains why I was not progressing in years. So we're going to try and fix that tonight. It would be amazing on this last night to get to 2112. And then I can feel happy and walking away from Rush, as opposed to I'm going to need to buy it again. If I do buy it, I probably will buy a Rush. And that could happen. In fact, I almost, there's two machines that are for sale locally, or sort of locally right now. There is a Vault Edition Spider-Man and a Pro Rush. And I was thinking I could grab both of those. And both are super inexpensive right now compared to the rest of the market. They're still way more expensive than they should be if you looked at pricing two or three years ago, pre-COVID. But you'd have sprung for the SW Star Wars or Spider-Man, but the W is upside down. Star Wars is fun. Star Wars rewards you. I feel like I'm in the movie and I happen to grow up with episodes four, five, and six so those aren't weird older movies to me. Those are my childhood. Yep, I love Star Wars from Stern. So much fun. I really do like Star Wars. Here's the thing. I really like the premium comic. I think that's the most gorgeous version of that game. I actually prefer playing Star Wars Pro. The ramps are easier. F the ramp into the Death Star shot on the Premium because it rejects way too often. You just have the little post that comes up, so it's a much easier shot, and it's backhandable consistently on the Pro. I don't think the Premium is worth it. The Pro is just an overall solid package. It really is. My biggest issue, and it wasn't something that I think bothered me until somebody pointed it out, is that the pops aren't dangerous at all. Like, those pops in the upper right corner don't do anything. Like, not only do they not do anything in the upper right corner, I'm short. I would say I was average height, but evidently everybody in pinball is six foot or greater. Except you guys, thank you. And, hey, PyroPonesNinja, welcome to the stream. Yes, we are playing some Rush. But in Star Wars, I can't even see the pops. All I can do is hear them. That's it. That's all I get. Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. I don't even know how many pops are back there. Is it two or is it three? I've never seen, I feel like, the pops in the back right corner of Star Wars. And they don't even make, pew, pew, pew, pew. It should totally make blaster sounds. Dr. Curly Thug. I kind of agree. To me, Star Wars Pro is the kind of game a cool dentist would have in their waiting room. I'm sure there is a lot to break down in that statement, Dice. There's a lot to break down there. Pew, pew, pew. So, by the way, if you're just joining us, and it's been a little while, we implemented stream leveling and experience. So whenever you chat, whenever you do things, you can actually redeem XP as a stream points redemption. Raids, follows, bits, all those things, they end up generating XP on the stream. And we get enough XP, we end up leveling up the stream. And leveling up does things like enabling extra cameras, and it changes the look and feel of the stream. It enables chat. So we just went to level two, so now you can actually see chat in the stream. And once we hit our ultimate level, which is right now level five, I got an opportunity to add a new level two today. So it made level four level five. We'll see if I broke everything. Honestly, I didn't get enough time to test it. But that's what you're seeing. So in the top right side and bottom right side, you get to see not only the stream level but also the stream experience. So where we're currently at. And something a lot of people didn't realize, I got some feedback yesterday, is that just chatting adds experience. And the first couple of levels, I think, are pretty easy to work through. So you can get there via chat. And you'll see, I saw the SNL. Here, I'm just going to. This is a Saturday Night Live episode that has Pete Davidson and the really great actor from Dune, whose name is escaping me right now. Mr. J. Crane, thank you. And they get into a conversation about rap and the history. Yeah, Chamolet. And I'm horribly mispronouncing that. So I apologize to that actor for destroying their last name. But it's this great SNL skit where they're talking about rap history, and they got famous by making a song and a video that got over 3 billion streams. And it's kind of hilarious. And it's called Yeet's Skirt. And it's silly, but it's been like an earworm in my head since I saw it a week ago. I've been going to sleep and having to play music so that way I don't think of their Yeet Skirt skit. And then when I wake up in the morning, I am once again still thinking about Yeet Skirt Skirt. It's great. So I just said screw it. And now it's a video that plays whenever we achieve a level up event. So I'm just going with it. Rather than trying to avoid thinking about it, I'm inundating myself with that particular scene. Also going back up, Ray Day, both Star Wars and Mando, I feel like the ball just never goes into the pops. That's interesting. Ray Day, have you played the Premium Mando? And I'm on a mission here because Premium Mando allows you to control where the ball goes somewhat. But think of it like Twilight Zone in the upper left play field, where by hitting the flippers you get to move with a magnet where the ball goes. It seems to me in Mando that the pro version doesn't, that entire left top side makes no sense. And then finally there's a magnet, and you have some level of control of where the ball goes in the upper left side in Mando on the premium and the LE. And I love it. It suddenly makes sense why that's there in the first place. Because the Mando pops give Beskar. Yep. Okay, so which game won TPF for you? C&K, without a doubt, Foo Fighters, and Pulp Fiction. And I'm torn on which one I think is better. They're both amazing. And I'm jumping now down to the bottom. Squalito. I really liked Godfather. Look at that. Game Club Central. Marty coming in with 100 bits. Marty also got in on a Pulp Fiction, by the way. Congratulations. Pulp Fiction is amazing. Foo Fighters and Pulp Fiction. I'm happy going into TPS that those are the two games I had purchased because those were the two games I could not get enough of. That said, Godfather was way better than I was expecting, and I really don't care about the theme. I'm hesitant to spend 12k on a game that I don't like the theme again. whereas I love Pulp Fiction one of my favorite films of all time and the other thing is Final Resistance, Scott's new game is very fun it is everything I'd want out of like a more advanced or a deeper more I don't know, there's just more to it version of Total Nuclear Annihilation we've got new music coming in Scott's releasing a new album so I'm in on the vinyl for whenever he does that release. And that makes me want to jump back into P3, but I think that's the only one right now. And the static play field graphics on that game are just... I think it makes it. So, let's see here. Oh, I'm not caught up. Are there bonus multipliers and rainbow shots for StreamXP? So, Southern Pretzel. It's interesting you say that. I'm working on all kinds of fun stuff right now, and it's just slow going. I have a new job. And my new job is ridiculous. A whole new position. And it's just, I don't have much time after that. And on top of that, I am moving also into family stuff. Also taking up more time than normal Loving it though And then obviously a lot of travel But yes at some point not only will the stream have levels but everyone who watches will start leveling up And as you interact and do things, your level will change the amount of XP as you interact with the stream is added to the stream leveling. So there's going to be a lot of customizations coming around leveling. and we've only got five levels right now. The goal is to get to 11 levels. Originally it was 10, but Marty suggested 11, and that's silly. I should have thought of 11. So, yes, there will be 11 levels. There are some who call him Tim. I've had a yeet skirt skit once. The doctor gave me two shots of penicillin, and it went away. Say, Pulp Foo Fighters, Pirate Pwns Ninja, I'm Scooby biased, obviously. Yep. 12K, it's very expensive. So spend six can a game and mention the super secret TPN discount code. Sure. Dude, I had a blast on Final Resistance. It helped having a Bowen over my shoulder. That's another thing. I love that they have a team over at P3 who is helping make that game fantastic. And, yeah, it's a massive team effort. In fact, when I was on Loser Kids yesterday, no, two days ago, and then on with Joel last night on the Flip N Out Pinball with Friends, I have a, because it's Scott, I keep talking about Scott, but man, there's a massive team he has actually working on this for once. It's a lot not just him. I heard something. I don't know what that was. and so yeah not just Scott obviously I think he's the creative director on the game but also to his entire team it's awesome, I really enjoyed it I got in line for a P3 after playing Final Resistance Pirate Bones Ninja, makes sense what about weird P3 module drain, did you get no Squalito, I missed it but Hottie from Frisco Pinball and And Sarah, Brian played it, and I think they both loved it. And then I think Joel, I don't know if Joel got to play it, but everyone who played it said it was surprisingly fun. I don't know if it's worth owning the module, but I got a lot of people telling me it was great. Fargo Pinball, welcome to the stream. Is it going to reset every stream, or will it be like an RPG and we can pick up and advance further later? Dice, that's TBD. Right now it's resetting. So think of like a MOBA in that every time we stream, you have the opportunity to go from level one to 11 and you get what I call milestones. So we hit our first milestone when we hit level two. The next one will be at level four and the final milestone will be at five. And milestones are where you get significant differences in the stream, like new things get activated. Like let's say Roboctopus isn't live right now, but Roboctopus gets enabled. I want to say at like three or four or something like that. Marty also wants to crank his guitar amp up to volume level. I'm with you on that. We actually do need to play some pinball here at some point. And wow, it took a player over three years to max out 200 of their prestige levels. Wow. Tips and bits are microtransactions to level up faster. It's surreal. I want to hear. I want to hear. It's surreal. Good evening, by the way. So the leveling stuff, by the way, it was what I think of as shower thoughts, which I feel like all of my best thoughts and ideas I have typically, like, I'm just relaxing and letting my mind wander. And I literally, while I was in the shower, had an idea. I'm like, you know what? We could level the entire stream. So I threw that at Tommy, Jedi McMuffin, who raided us earlier, and Surreal and MPT3K, and got back a lot of really cool feedback and helpful tips. So thank you to Surreal, MPT3K, and Tommy, who actually came out here to help me fix a bunch of stuff. And Test Bishop, yeah, flipping out with friends was a lot of fun. Inflatable pants? All right, we're going to play some pinball here. And we are going to try and, oh, I immediately messed it up. What I should do is get a bonus on points. If the points are worth 100% more or 40% more, then it gets a lot easier to get years or yeet. This microphone is without a doubt in the way. Let's try that. Much better. So we've got our first shot there. See, now I have to know how to increase the jackpot. I probably should have hit other shots first. That was a little interesting. Let's see here. Our jackpot is now at 2.2. So I'm going to keep going. I'm going to try to hit this left orbit, get it in there. We're now at 3.124 on the jackpot. Okay. Okay. That was 3.124. all right let's see if we can continue increasing here Hollywood Polo George how was your day what did you have for supper uh I had um chicken and fries from Raising Cane's I actually had chicken because Raising Cane's has gluten, so I couldn't do the gluten. But it was Janelle's son's birthday, who turned 18 today, and he wanted Raising Cane's. So went over there, and Janelle was nice enough to get non-gluteny chicken for me, which was fantastic. So I have that, and then Rice Krispie Treats, because once again, a non-dairy gluten option was added for me. I feel like she likes I doubt very much that was caused by the thickness. Okay. And I believe the thinner next to the right ramp increases the multiplier the best in this mode. Next. Okay, this one. All right. We're at 3.124. Spirit of the Radio award value at 518. I'm going to try that. Let's try it again. All right, now we're at 3.6. I'm going to watch it again. I'm going to try and hit that spinner. All right, that increased our award value to 578, but it didn't increase the jackpot. That's kind of interesting. We have hit the section of playlists, which is songs I have. To be fair, that was just, wow, those matches didn't go well. I am missing out on something, which is fine. I feel like it's not. Oh, hey. Oh, I already got that one. Doing better. Okay. Yeah, we're good. What is in up with the middle? Charge up the time machine two more for a multiball, so I'm going to grab left orbit. Wow. Wow. I don't think I'm going to get to 100 million on that one. I don't even know how we do it. What do we want here? Oh, we're ready for a multiball. So I'm going to go there, there. And I can increase my value. We're in La Via Strongiato. So I'm going to go there. I think that moves us to big money because it goes to the left. This is good. This is good. We're at 10% shot values. What do we need now? I'm going to go right. Do I go right ramp? Yeah. Now we're back in La Via Strangiato. No idea what's happening right now. This is all very, very odd. What do we? No, I didn't get that inner orbit. You know what? We're at 30% on the shot value, and we're going into a multiball. Let's just get in there. Good places to eat? Yeah, and trust Dice. He does know the good places to eat. Subdivision. All right, we need to hit this right ramp. Yeah, let's hit right ramp. There's one. Two. Oh, I can't believe that missed. Okay. We have an extra ball. There's something happening up there in the middle. I don't know what to do. It wants me to hit that shot. Let's see here. Awesome. We went one year and got some amazing tacos. I can only imagine what else they offer. Oh, Fargo, you were at TPF. Man, there's so many people at TPF that I just didn't even get an opportunity to meet or hang out with. What's the significance of this white shot? Try this again. We also got an extra ball there. There it is. Extra ball. Thank you. So what does it want me to do now? We're at award value, verse 6 of 12. so does anybody know what we should be doing right now to increase the value of points in this mode yep it's going to be the inner orbit Oh my god, get... That is the second time I've been hit by that. It's fine, we're still just finding the shots, first game. Oh, and has anybody gone to see Dungeons and Dragons yet? Because I got tickets to go tomorrow, I have a babysitter. I'm very excited. it. All right, game. Let's see what you're doing there. I don't like it. We're going to light lock. Got it. You know what? I'm going to grab this. Now we're at 20%. What else do I want to hit? I want to hit... I don't know. How many balls do we have locked? Lock is lit. Nine more for that. Mode light ready. Limelight. We're at 2015. Pop score. Two albums collected. We're at 20%. That's pretty good. We've got a combo jackpot. you you you you you Okay. Okay. All right, we have a multiball in the center, so I really need to hit some more shots. And what did we add on score? 287. We're at 2029. That doesn't seem all that great. I'm going to go there. Collect more records to boost value. I'm going to try and grab this one. Great. We're at 10%. That was crap, game. Whatever, though. We keep that. Okay. Two base rules for movies. You don't work with kids, you don't work with... Oh, wait, I've got to catch up. Oh, right. I asked about D&D. Dice went to see it last night. It's exactly what it's like when you have a diverse group of people over to play D&D and have some drinks, but what you're doing you can actually see. I love it. Awesome. The movie Explorers turned out to be kidney stone quality. Okay. To be honest, I feel TTF sold way too many tickets to how many pinball machines they had. Don't get me wrong. It's awesome to see how popular pinball has become, but over an hour away to play one machine is so much. Yeah, Fargo. I never got to play Scooby-Doo. I tried three times. And, all right, now catching up. To bring you up to speed, I changed the question of the night to fit our group size now. What show cartoon do you remember loving as a kid that absolutely doesn't hold up for you as an adult? Yeah, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the, like, 1984 series. It's just, it's stupid. Like, I love TMNT, and going back and watching those cartoons, they were very childish. There was no humor meant for the adults. You missed nothing with Scooby-Doo. Okay, awesome. Thanks. Oh, Saved by the Bell, Screech. Shout out to the movie Showgirls. She was in it. Oh. What? Oh, my God. Now we're at a 30%. Really? Now we're at 30%. That was a great... A great... Oh, my gosh. Whatever. Now we're at 50. There. Big, oh man, we're at 50% and we've got a multiball and we're in big money. Let's see what we can do. Don't hit the middle. Hey, somebody just did something. I'm like, just hold up the flippers. See what happens. All right. We are at 3X on the big money. I think there's one more shot. Yeah, it's the, looks like it's the middle ramp. Let's see if we can grab that 4X. Nope. Are you not entertained? Some jerk drank all of my Dr. Pepper strawberries and cream vodka. Guess I need to get another one. Was it you? I wish you lived closer. You can come and play my Scooby-Doo. Fargo, I would come and play your Scooby-Doo. I absolutely would. I really wanted to give it a try. Guitar upgraded. All right, we're back in big money. Really? There's that. There's a one, two, three. Let's go. Oh, wow. All right, so I've got a multiball there. I've got a collect there, but I can grab two shots right there. Nope, I got one. There. I don't know what the multiplier was that. We're also at a combo jackpot of almost... you you you you you Thank you. We got a level, but like I said. Which is. Oh, wait, wait, wait. There is no main level two in there. Ha. Ha. I know what I... Are you familiar with... Come on. Go. Turn it on. There we go. Waller, move 1,500 points until you get video again. All right. Give me a sec. I can fix this. No, no, no. We can fix this live. There we go. We can fix this. I just don't want to lose progress so far because this isn't an awful game. Whatever. I'm going to collect on this. This is fixable. So I didn't add the new level to my stream, to all the appropriate layouts. So I added a new level, and I thought I got it added everywhere, but evidently not. But once again, I know what the issue is, and I can easily fix it. It's fine. It's fine. All is well again. Level two is faded up. No, level two is awesome. I just built it. It looks great. Trust me. You guys will feel so rewarded by level two. All right. I'm going to try the right orbit here. Wow. I can't believe that actually worked. Uh, lock has been advanced, so I'm going to try and hit that. There we go. Oh my god, find it! Alright, so now we have two multiballs ready to go. So I'm going to try that shot, that shot, to that shot, and then a collect. What does that get us? Woo-hoo! $10 million. Oh, no, that was $18 million. All right, we're cool. We're cool, game. Do I have another? Oh, no, we're out of the mode. So I get to put a multiplier on a particular shot. Let's see. No theater tomorrow. Speaking of troll moves. Oh, I can feel it. Jedi, thank you. Thank you. This never happened with Roboxtapus. fine yeah but at what cost drop that shred we're gonna get there so as soon as i drain this i will go through and add the the new level two to all of the the appropriate scenes and then i will turn on level two and you guys will get to see the awesomeness that is level two Gosh darn it, do not start the multiball. Oh my god, did I just start two multiballs? Please tell me I did not. You never loved me, Mom. Drop Dead Shred just gifted five tier one subs. and got its immediate equalized. You never love me, Mom. All right, here we go. We have achieved max level. Drop that shred. I'm going to do something cool here. I'm going to go. Oh, no. There we go. I don't know. Did you see how cool that was? There. My hat's off to you. That was really cool. Is that the Pinsomniac? No, that's the hat thing. What is... Oh, my God. Okay, good, good, good. Okay. Let's see here. Nine of 12. The middle is lit. Where is... I think it's just the middle. Let's see what happens here. Got it. All right, so trap up. And my, all of the hats off. Drop dead shreds, thank you. Cheers. you buy, I don't have to go fix the level 2 right now, but you also didn't get to see level 2 um but thank you, Squalito Devin Crates, Bloodgranks, Tarheel and Poop for Profit, great name y'all, make sure you thank Drop Dead Shred, that was 5 amazing tier 1 subs leave it to a Hufflepuff to not cover the due diligence um, let's see here no, I'm 100% on board, I mean Oh, wait, there's no theater. I'll be there if you do. It's Saturday. I've got quite packed schedules, so it entirely depends on whether or not you want me to participate. Let's see. Speaking of troll moves. Oh, the April Fool's redemption tomorrow. I would love to see it. I would love to see it. That left orbit on here, maid and kiss, are always so tough for me. I thought you were doing the kiss thing. I realize now you meant the band kiss. It is so... Sometimes I can find it. Sometimes I really can't at all. Found it there. And we set our cool... We've got flashing things now. We need two more to light the next mode. I'm going to try that. I don't... Did I hit that already? I did, evidently. It's all kinds of things. Lit right now. Trap up. All right, let's power up. We're at 2049. We now have Spirit of the Radio. Okay. Award value 400. Radio jackpots, 303, 1 million. Spinner increases. Oh, yep. I want to see where we're at. What did I get? So I got 5 out of 10 on Big Money, 12 out of 14 on the 1-2-3 combos, 10 out of 10 on La Via Strangiato and Limelight. So you can see the ones where I've got 10 out of 10. Big Money, I only got 5 out of 10. That sucks. And we in our third mode right now so let see what we can do There two There we go. Our first award for 500. Do we go for the multiball now? I think now is maybe the time we go for the multiball. I kind of want to see what happens when I hit all of these other shots. Does it increase the value? That left orbit. Don't mention their name, George. Don't you know that KISS stands for Knights in St. No, I did not know that. I did not know that. Okay. There we are. We've got light lock lit over there. I'm going to try and hit the spinner. That works for me. We've got a ball lock. We're at 626 with a jackpot value of 3.4. I'm going to try and hit this right orbit. Totally worth. We're at 432, 626 on the collect. I'm going to go ahead and collect a jackpot. That completed the mode. I just want to see what I got out of that mode we only got 5 out of 10 so I only got half of the years that I could have got it's also Spanish for long time if you've ever wondered if vodka and mango soda is good I'll tell you now that it is not I'm not a huge fan of mango I'm going to go for the upgrade Multiball's now four left sets I've got this multiball just sitting over here The rush targets are easier I don't even know what that means I'm going to go, I guess, right ramp I meant right I've got one I need four more lights let's grab that light so now we need three more I can hit maybe this left orbit okay what do I need I need one more light which would be the inner, yeah, I can go for that inner orbit. Let's try it again. It's fine. It's fine, game. It's fine. All right, so we've got the time machine. It's letting me know that that weapon is really lit right now. Okay. Okay. Now we start the multiball. We're at Tom Sawyer. There's a ball lock. I'll take it. I'll take any shot. I know, C&K, I'm trying really hard here for 2112. Thank you. Okay. Good, good, good. Got it once. Got it twice. Got it three times or thrice. Thrice. I'm trying to do things over here. Okay, I now need to hit the right ramp. Got it. I'm going to hit that shot. Totally worked out well for me there. Now I want to hit that inner, the horseshoe shot. That's hard to say. Maybe cut out the coffee? I have to try something. Pops will light headlong flights. Okay. Headlong flight, which is, I'm guessing, some sort of like multi. So I'm assuming when I'm in multiballs, Ray, I can also get extra years for doing cool stuff in these. You got to keep them separated. This is going to hurt. Or not. We're good. 11.30. Oh, got it, which is another thing. What are we at right now on time? I'm at 11.31. Drumsticks, light solo, one ball lock, free ball, multiball, two lock lanes for lock. Just catching up on all of this. Award value $3 million on Tom Sawyer. The world is three of three. Oh, I have to shoot all the targets. Yeah, okay. Gosh darn it. Here we go. Fine. I'm going to go here. I still have my action button to add a ball. Well, that was crap. Hit. Wow. Wow. Okay. Okay, look at your drum clock toy. It shows hour. So I'm at 12, it looks like, right now. With the light and minute with the metal. Oh, okay. I didn't realize. It always seemed to be spinning wildly. I didn't realize. It was actually trying to tell me something. Headlong flight is lit. Oh, got it. That's on the right orbit. All right. Stage drop. Try it again. Uh-oh, there's a ball stuck. That's not my problem. Oh. Everybody out of the pool. Wow. All right, so we still have that add-a-ball. We're at 20.59 right now. And I think I've still got to hit that inner orbit. Hit all three jackpot shots will help with years, too. Okay. Okay. Hit. We're fine. We're fine. Just don't die on me, Dotson. We're fine. There we go. That's fine. Stay there. Stay there. I'll take that. Ball, just stay there. This is great. This is great. Okay. Hitting the yellow shot. Okay. Okay. So I'm going to double check everything here. I got four out of 10 on Headlong, five out of 10 on Free Will, five out of 10 on Tom Sawyer, and five out of 10 on Big Money, five out of 10 on Spirit of the Radio. I do have 12 of 14 on the one, two, three combos. And I have an upgrade. Multi-balls, now five less hits. Light extra ball. Okay, I like that. Let's do that. And we're in... I didn't know... I guess I got to read. My God, add a ball right away? Great. All right. No! Did I get the... Okay, I got the extra ball. Let's see here. One more to light the mode. I don't know. That's great. Let's just leave that there. I'm going to go for... Oh, no. That did not hit right ramp. Oh, that's right. I have an edible. I have an edible. All right. What? Oh, the inner orbit, I see it. Or the inner whatever that thing is. Cool. I'm already at your 2070. Okay, so we're already playing better. Well, I don't know about better. you you you you you Thank you. Did he just say funky? All right. No, we're still good. We're still good. It's fine. We're going to get all of those back. I'm just hitting everything that's lit right now, and also missing, obviously, a ton of shots. All right. What do we need? I don't even know what I'm doing, honestly. So, one ball locked. Okay. We've got three shots still lit blue. Hey, Drop Dead Shred, thank you so much for coming and hanging out. Thank you very much for the subs. That was amazing. I'm glad you stumbled on this stream as well. Yeah, please check back in the next time. Usually stream Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I have a feeling we're going to be playing a lot of Mandalorian in the near future. We're good. Okay, so. Really? Really? Sucks. It's fine. There's that. No, you can't choose Tatooine. So I think I've got to hit that shot over there. I'll take it. I'll take it. Good, good. All right, what do we got to hit? It looks like we've got to hit right ramp. I don't know which way it's diverting. It's diverting to the left, which is good. So that was awesome. That was cool. So that was an add a ball and some sort of a cool shot. I need a ball game. What just... Oh! Did we... Did we... We escaped the black hole. I'm not... I'm guessing that was the goal, right? Was to escape the black hole? It feels like we're in... What's it called? It feels like we're in victory laps. Okay. What do I want to hit? I want to hit that. That. To that. Okay. Okay. All right. Hey, Method Own, welcome to the stream. Avoid the red shots if possible. Oh, that was the don't hit the red shots. Okay. Just dropped in to say GCS looked awesome tonight. Now off to bed. Methadone, have a great night. Thank you so much for stopping by. I feel we need the rush music for this momentous game. It's a lot of rush music. Also, I need one more shot. It has to be the inner orbit. Cool. All right, I got to hit this inner orbit. Got it, but it didn't. All right, so what are we at? We're at 2070. Okay. There was a ball lock. I can collect more records to boost the value of this last mode because we're on working man you guys know this is my favorite mode alright weapon is lit working man I don't think I'm in a multiball though We did get one. All right, what are we doing here? We're going that to there. Plus ten minutes. I'm going to slow things down, hit it over there. When this comes down, let's see if we can. Yep, we'll do that mode, that thingy right there. We're at 1130 a.m. Use the weapon to spot all shots. Okay. We're at 4 o'clock p.m. What? I don't have another one. It's fine. It's fine. So I get two more shots. Okay. I'll take it. We're at 415. Now what do we need? We need that shot to that shot, sure. We're at 5 o'clock. All right, one last shot. Wow, did you see the spin on that? That was crazy. Okay. Come on, game. Help me out here. Why is the middle ramp lit? Oh, my God. Hit this shot. There we go. We clocked out. Stignitz 2 is now lit. We're at 2075. All right. Here's the weird one. Here's the weird one. This is honestly the weirdest mini wizard mode. Also, Damons and Gatsgiel. I didn't see that y'all followed. Thank you very much. Thirty-six. It feels like this could be quite a lucrative... Yeah, this could be decently lucrative if we can make it to stage five. I don't think we can. Ooh. Stage six super jackpot. it 50 million okay sure All right, what are we going to hit now? We can go for this ramp. Did not mean for that to go there. There's that shot. Oh, my gosh. Okay, good, good. We're going to get that back. Okay. Oh! Now they're reversed. Oh, my God. Yeah. Retro Game Gal, it was awesome to meet you. I don't know which one flips which anymore. so weird what you what Now the flippers are flipping, but I have no control. You're doing a ball search on me. I can't. I can't. I can't think like this. Oh, my God. There, we got a shot. We got a shot. This hurts. This hurts, guys. This breaks my head. All right. How did that not? I'll take it. We're in a... Oh my god, we're in a mini wizard mode. Book 2 and the flippers are just weird. And they change constantly. What is going on, game? Don't be a jerk! Oh my god! This... We failed! Take this book too! you you you you you So we're definitely making progress. What is that? 17 on a super there. That's fine. I'm okay to get out of that. We're also at 20% going into La Via Strangiato. And we can set yet, I think, another weird multiple. I don't know. How many more upgrades? Multi-balls, now seven less hits. Each record collects two. That good And weapon is lit And we in La Via Scrangiato Okay Okay Okay There's one. There's two. There's three. definitely want to save that weapon not in this mode what do I want here I don't know why that right orbit is lit let's go left orbit up and around I think that's coming back down don't drain on me All right, the clock just advanced. We're now at, it looks like 12 o'clock. So we, oh, we have multiball on the right lip. So I'm going to try for that. Do I? Holding off. There we go. And homegrown welcome. Dude, freaking love rush. Talk about the best band of all time. How about of all time? Homegrown, welcome. We're doing pretty good right now. We're at 2.7 billion. We are fast approaching 2112. I've got another multi. We've looped the game. We've done both book one and book two. And now we're working back through the modes trying to get years again. Let's see what we're at. We're still at 2085. We've got a couple shots left in this mode. So going there. There we go. That was a ball lock. And now I think we just hit the middle to complete Love V. Estrangiato. I mean, I can collect this last shot, right? Yeah, 11 of 12. So I need to hit this left orbit here. Boom and boom. That is done. And then... We only need two more lights. I have a multiball in the right orbit, so I think we just need one more light, because every single record now collects two, if I understand that correctly. And... Let's see. Four of ten, five of ten, free will, headlong flight. I think that's what we have on the right, which is only four of ten. So we're going to go like this. That. Not good. Now we're going to start our mode. Good. Now we're in big money. Also, I didn't see what... Now we're still at 2,085. Oh, I can't get any more years from modes I already have all the years for. So I'm going to try and bring in multiball here. Got it. There's one. And I'm just trying to hit any shot right now. All right, we are at a 2X on the collect. I'm going to go right ramp. All right, so now we're at 3X. There's one. What are we at? We're at 4X now on our big money collect. Good. 5X. Ugh. maybe six, and then let's go ahead and collect. That's not good. That's not good. Big money leaves a bruise. One more shot to collect on big money. Let's see here. Saw you were on. Wanted to say hi. Had a blast. Back at you, man. I had a lot of fun. Oh, we lost the camera. It's coming back, though. All good. Yep, Playfield Cam just went down. It's the nightly battery reset. I've got to get one more new battery. All right. We're fine here. We're at 5x. Uh, we're at 6x. Let's try that right orbit. Got it. Now we're at 7x. Woo! I'll take it. I'll take it. That's fine. Uh, let's go 7x. No, let's go 8x. There. There's an easy one. Let's see if we can get a 9x here. No, let's just go for the... We're back. Okay. So now we're at 24.8. We're now at 20.92. We're upgrading again. Eight, that's it. Jackpot boosted. Each ramp soars two. We're getting close, gang. Come on. Three more to light. And we have a multiball ready. This is, oh, yeah, that's right. Log into Insider Connected. I definitely should do that. What do we got here? I got tickets for Dungeons and Dragons tomorrow. I've got two returns. I've got a reminder about the Skrillex concert that goes on sale at 10 a.m. tomorrow. There we go. Get there. Alright, we need two more shots. We are logged in. Alright, weapon is lit. multiball. We are in yet another mode. We're in limelight. We're also in a double, though, right now, I just realized. So we need to make sure that we're having fun, but not so much fun, right? I don't think I've hit any shots. Thank you. Wow, this is, we're so upgraded. We have all of the balls saved on this right now. It's great. It's great. We escaped the limelight. I don't know. We just got another jackpot. All right. We have that weapon. If you like, did the tournament circuit and put in the time to learn all the rules of all the games ever. I feel like you'd climb. Oh. Free day. Thank you. The rules are the hard part to me. Like, they are... That's the tough part. Okay. Um, there we go. Oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. That was a cool song. When I was a teenager, that was the coolest song. Wow, that was 145 million jackpots? That was pretty awesome. That wasn't bad. Hey, BigAppleJuiceMan, welcome. It was great to play TPM with people on the side of the game telling me... Oh, my gosh. Yeah, when you have somebody actually helping, it's super... It's awesome. Totally different game. I guess I hit this super jackpot up the middle. That's fine with me? What is that? Oh, it's 6.2 now. Hmm. I don't know. I mean, it's kind of great right now. All right, doing it again, another 6.5. All right, shoot the right rant. I did it. All right, we're cool. We're cool. Come to Pacific Northwest. Hey, Pacific Northwest is awesome. Oh, I'm at 2097. We're getting kind of close. My favorite game is Roblox. My favorite food is peanut butter jelly sandwiches. Hi. Hey, Big Apple Juice Man, I also really happen to like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I have a bunch in the fridge. Uh, freezer. Alright. I don't know. Last one for a whole whopping 6.7. So we're ready to start another mode? Yes, we are. We're in Tom Sawyer. No, his mind is not for ranked. Right orbit. Nope. But we did light lock. Got the right orbit. Now we need the left. We've also got a lock shot. Let's go ahead and grab this left, though. Oh, hey, we're in Far Cry Multiball. Awesome. I'll take it. I kind of, I don't know what I'm supposed to be hitting right now. Maybe it's the center. That shot, right? Yeah, I think it was that shot. Thank you. And, okay, there's a 3x jackpot. Interloop. Got it. Got it. I don't know what that's doing. What just happened? What is one little victory? What are we in right now? I don't understand. Oh, these are all of the missing years. All right. All right. Oh, I have another add-a-ball? All right, so what do I need to do right now? Instrument does something. 3.9. Yeah, I don't know. Go, go. Oh. Is it a timed thing? We added a ball. Thank you. All right, let's try that again. All right, now we're in victory lap. I don't... It's just that victory lap. Sure. Okay. Okay. Light ball save. Okay. Okay. Oh, hey, I'm at 2112. It says 2112 is the current year. If I drain, do I just have to hit the middle? I know right like this is the really if I drain does it light don't okay I'm not double draining so if I drain do I just have to hit the middle and then I get into 21 12 is that is that what happened help me out I'm doing I'm gonna drain one of these yes okay good This is the thing, right? Start 2112. The flippers don't work. Last night with Rush. Thank you, Ray Day. Thank you, Kiwi Frenzy. This is good. I am so out of alcohol right now. I'm going to go get alcohol. Master Levi, yeah. Three day. Cheers. Cheers. Okay. Game is not over yet. Holy crap, that is a lot of balls. I don't know what to do. I kind of want to look at the screen, but there's so many balls flying around on the table. Okay, now the game, the colors have turned blue. I mean, I don't even know what I'm doing right now. It feels good. It's fun. It's fun. There's a crazy Lazarus there. Does anybody even care at this point? All right, we're now on a third set of colors. A fourth set of colors. I cannot hit that upper loop to save my life right now. There's an interlude. There's another. Hey, there we go. I just really wanted to hit that once. The temples of something. I don't know the significance of that. Ball saved. Okay, I'm just going to... Hey, Unjust AF, welcome to the stream. Okay, three minutes of frenzy to build jackpots. Okay, got it. Looks like it'll go through the whole 2112 song with all the movements. Man Adams, how you doing? Very impressive, George. Congrats. You're on double danger without an extra ball for so long. I was grinding my teeth watching. Thank you. Okay. Okay. Now, I don't know what we're doing. I'm going to go there. Cool. Man, those animations are top notch. Shoot shots for Jackpot. One more shot for Adaball. There we go. There we go. Don't drain. I mean, drain is don't tilt. I'll take that. I'll take that. Now we need the right ramp. Hey, unjust, things are going well. Got it. Another add-a-ball. We've got another color. I don't know, it said something about presentation just now. Oracle of something. Okay, what do we got to hit? It looks like we got to hit this right ramp again. Shoot shots for jackpot. Add a ball is complete. Okay, hit action button so your ramp diverts to the left. Good call. There's one more to light, it said. Okay. Cheers. I'll take it. I'll take it. What's this bonus going to be? This has got to be pretty decent, right? Hey, that's going to put us over five bill. Right? Pride pinball, thank you. Normally, normally I would give the grand champ to whoever. I mean, at this point it would be drop, dead, shred. But this is the last night on this game. and how epic is it to hand off a massive grand champion like that to the next owner who hopefully will love the heck out of this game. I'm going to take that. 5.3. That ball was nearly an hour. Oh, wow, it is 12.51. I have to be up in six hours to get my kid up. This is a good night. Yeah. Y'all, thank you so much for hanging out. Ray Day, thank you so much for the advice on what to do. That was awesome. I'm going to sit here and just watch this. On top of that, we hit level five on the stream with experience. Like, yeah, all the things happened tonight. I can't believe we got there on the last night with the game. It was so cool. No, I think I'm good. I think that's a mic drop moment, y'all. Thanks for hanging out. Devin, great, thanks. That was the best game of pinball I've personally seen. Awesome. You even logged in, so you have eternal record of it on Insider. Exactly. Insider's awesome for that. So just in case you happen to be here and you're not sure, my name is George. This show is Don't Panic Flip. normally stream uh monday tuesday and thursday but it was a busy week coming back from uh tpf and doing uh vodcasts and and podcasts and doing the parent thing um this game is gone tomorrow sorry saturday morning at 9 a.m uh and it was epic we we did it so uh thank y'all and let's go find someone to raid, send all of this dream love off to, hopefully we've got some other pinball people online right now. Frisco is almost always on, and if not Frisco, Laser Los is usually on. So we'll go find someone. You guys, have a good one. I will be back on potentially late this weekend, maybe with some Mandalorian or TMNT. TMNT is leaving next week. And also looking forward to Who Fighters in the near future, and still trying to decide what that third game is going to be for the next bit. And, yeah, great day. Perfect timing for beating the game. I'm good. I can walk away. You guys, see you. Have you been inundated with ads and questions related to TPN's now famous homemade pinball pudding line of puddings? Questions like, TPN's pinball pudding is so good, it must be illegal, right? What the f*** is pinball pudding? How can a collection of content creators also be a pudding? That makes no sense. And we hear you. You want to know what makes TPN so special? The answer is in TPN's secret ingredient. Simply, proof. Other puddings may say they have it too, but watch as they're unable to back those statements up. Well, I'm not a crook. Do we have evidence of that? It might be a tumor. It's not a tumor. Evidence. Evidence. Richard, do I have a mark on my face? Right here. Not here or here so much, but right here. That's evidence. Again, request for more evidence. You can't handle the truth. Do we have evidence of that? Nobody makes me bleed my own blood. Nobody. Evidence? Saw TDI clean diesel with up to 814 highway miles per tank. Do we have evidence of that? Evidence? Isn't it time you gave TPN's famous homemade pinball pudding line of puddings a try? and check your local retailers for these amazing original and fantastic new flavors from TPN's famous homemade pinball pudding line of puddings.
