Chat participation remains high throughout with community members asking rules questions and watching gameplay. ### Key Claims - [HIGH] The Foundry trick (Mystery/6x playfield exploit) is turned off in competition play mode but remains available in casual play — _George and Extra Paul discussing Foundry trick during gameplay; explicitly confirmed that Mystery award is disabled in competition mode but exploitable otherwise_ - [HIGH] The game has a 2x, 3x multiplier progression that reaches 6x when all three are collected — _Dr. Curly Tag asking about multiplier progression; George confirms: '2x, 3x, and then if you get all three, it's 6x'_ - [HIGH] Extra Paul is presenting a tutorial/strategy walkthrough for scoring on Mandalorian Premium — _George's opening statement: 'Extra Paul is going to be walking us through how to score points on Star Wars The Mandalorian (Premium)'_ - [HIGH] The Boba Fett target allows players to change which multiball they have lit — _George explaining during gameplay: 'So if you hit the Boba Fett target, that'll change whatever multiball you have lit'_ - [MEDIUM] No code update has addressed the Foundry trick yet — _Chat member Escher asking if Foundry trick got coded out; George responds: 'I don't think so. I don't think there's been an update yet.'_ - [HIGH] The Hunter mode/shot is a primary scoring avenue requiring Beskar accumulation — _Extra Paul: 'So the best way to get enough Beskar is The Hunter, yep, in order to qualify'_ - [HIGH] The 'double tap' mechanic on Foundry is a precise timing exploit requiring rapid consecutive button presses — _George explaining the Foundry hack: 'What you do is you put the spot on The Question Mark, and you double tap as quickly as you possibly can'_ - [MEDIUM] Ambush multiball is considered subpar compared to other multiball options on the game — _George: 'So you might be asking why didn't I just go for the multiball because the number two Razorcrest multiball kind of sucks'_ ### Notable Quotes > "I don't actually know if you knew that you were points, but I can tell you how I do it.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Open your eyes, what can you see around? Winds of the open sky, over the siren sound This is a dream, getting the royal scar Holding a diamond blade Throwing it far Hold down your breath still You jump the fight We'll just sit and wait until It's like You got it I'm just gonna tell me You got the wrong guy Good evening. my name is George this show is Don't Panic Flip and tonight we have a very special guest we have Extra Rand Paulin and we are going to be playing some Mandalorian Extra Paul is going to be walking us through the how to score points on the Mandalorian and I don't actually know if you knew that you were going to be walking us through how to score points but I can tell you how I do it I don't know if it's my way or the E-way Okay, but it is a way to consistently put up points. This is a way. Iron Fox, I love your intro sound. It's so great. Iron Fox, good evening, and hey, you get two intros, not just one. AJ F. Clark, welcome. It has been a very long time. I hope things are going well for you, sir. I'm going to switch over to the main scene here. where we can get a look at Mando. We've got a Mando premium. And you, sir, may the force be with you. So there we go. Okay. You are up. Why don't you walk us through? AJF Clark just had knee surgery this morning. Sir, hopefully for good reasons, like things will improve later. I mean, I guess that's the hope any time you would do surgery. I hope things went well. How about that? All right. First off, I don't know. Skill shot's not worth that much, but I always like to get it. So you want to wait until the light is going this way. Okay. And there's two letters that are always lit on child, right? Yeah, sure. And you want the leading letter to be on I and then full plunge. Just like that. Just like that. So, goal number one is to get into 5X playfield, right? So we just lit Hunter. Sorry, I always say 5X. It's 6X. Plus 5X playfield. So 6X. So I just lit Hunter on one of my inlanes. I can change that by flipping. So now I need scope. Also, AJ is saying H headed to the right edge. I don't know what that means. Dice, welcome to the stream. Good evening, people, peopleettes, and all other configurations of human biologics. That was the first time. We were playing this a little bit earlier. Every time I went into ambush, I would hit it right up the middle and it would... Oh, and it was not successful this time. Not successful this time. Okay. So, to light scope, I need the horseshoe, the right ramp, and the target in between those two. I've gotten a horseshoe so far. There's a right ramp. And so now my scope is lit. I guess I had hit the target before. So now I consider myself prepped for 5X, but it's, I mean, I can start a thing and drain out of it pretty easily. Tested some asking if Escher's foundry trick get coded out yet. I don't think so. I don't think there's been an update yet. So that was never an issue. I kept trying to... When you were doing the Foundry trick, you were talking about the 5x play field for the Mystery and the Double Tap? The Double Tap. Not for Mystery, though. Oh, yeah, for the Mystery and Foundry. Yeah. So that Mystery award is turned off when the game is on competition play. So it's... Well, sorry, it is an issue, but it's not an issue when you're in competition play. No. Okay. No. If you're playing in a tournament or in League and the settings for the game is on competition, then good luck. It's not in competition. But no, no, if you want to grand champ the game, go for it. That's a great way to do it. They're completely fine to abuse in order to get all the big points. I don't know if that's really a bug or a feature. Okay, that's how it goes. Dice asking, do you really not have an extra cam setup so we can watch all fans? Or does that come with later levels? Usually it comes with later levels when we don't have LCDs. Right now I am not set up for feet. I feel like I more consistently need to be set up for feet when Paul is over. That sounds weird when I say it like that so many times. Master Levi, wait, what's the foundry trick? Ooh. Okay. I will work on the foundry. Yeah, yeah. George, that should be part of what you do. for high scores here. Okay, and the best way to get enough Bethgar is Hunter, yep, in order to qualify. So I'm going to do the thing you said. You can even do a super skill shot with that, but you might end up starting a multiball early. Accidentally. Okay, I'm going to go... That's pretty good. I'll take it. I could do a board. That's probably what I would have preferred out of that list. I don't know. Somebody just did something. It is 40 beautiful individuals just came over from Flipstream. Flipstream with the weird black hitting us on level two. And he doesn't know. We don't even have to wait. We're in the house. Hey, hey, hey, hey. You never love me, Mom. Coming in hot. Flipstream also subscribing at tier one. They've been a subscriber for 38 months. Look at all of that beautiful XP coming in. We're going to skip level two. We're going directly to level three over here, everyone. That's right. You see the hat? I am Mrs. Nesbitt. Wolfman, good evening. And I hope your evening's going well. Flipstream, we were over on your stream earlier. Your Deadpool, for whatever reason, looks amazing. And everyone, if you were not already following Flipstream, I suggest you click the name, click the follow button. There's some really cool streaming conversation. And I joke you not, like, Deadpool just looked amazing on Flipstream's stream earlier. So let's see if we can get into, I feel like I'm drooling right now, let's see if we can actually get into Hunter. Now you can get more best card if you hit that lift ramp on the right. Right. But you should just need the, you don't honestly need it. I hate that. You just need an orbit that doesn't reject. Oh, my God. Cool. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. I was going for it. Yep. Good start. Good start. Well, I think you got super close to the final wizard mode. Last game of the night. A couple more weeks. Oh, and when you did it, are you done with it? That's the question. Hey, somebody just followed. Thank you so much for that follow. Okay. They are very brutal tonight. Big joke on me. Master, leave. We're going to get more than a couple of bricks and drains, maybe. This is a good chance. All right, so I'm going to... No, I'm not. Sure. So have you heard the comedy theory that there is a victim to every joke? A victim? No. I'm not familiar with that. So with, like, dad jokes, the joke teller is the victim. Oh, okay. In that sense, because it's so stupid. Because they're meant to be the one who is the... Yeah. The reason it's funny is because you did a dumb thing. Right. That's my life. I am perpetually the comedy victim then, I think. And it's not intentional. C&K, welcome to the stream. Dyche has gifted a tier one sub to Masterly by Kayotic. Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Yee! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. You never want me, Mom. We are in Ambush. Oh, you're in Ambush. I sure am. So now that we're in Ambush, we want to go, if you haven't seen, IE Pinball got a great tutorial on this on YouTube. So when the play field is mostly white, we are going for the horseshoe ramp, the red shot. Had to do it. Easy. Almost at it. Mr. Harbleck says, Dice never loved me. Mom. So a woman came up to me and said she recognized me from her vegan restaurant. I was a bit confused. I'd never met her before. Dice just gifted a tier one sub to AJF Clark. AJF Clark, I hope you're recovering well from your recent knee surgery. Hold on. I've got to go back up because I didn't understand the going to the left thing, and I wonder if AJH heading to the right-ish. I'm just looking to see if he ever responded as to what that meant because I do not know. It's the same thing. Like, H when it's when you're squirming. Oh, when the H or the I. He was talking. And it's heading to the right. Just like AJF Clark to be suffering horribly after knee surgery, but stay focused on our game to make sure that we're hitting the skill shot. It can't have had an obscure heroine reference that I don't even get. Sure. Okay, we have a mission. Nope. We're going to find that. Yes! Oh, Mrs. Lisbet! Oh, and Dice, gifting a tier one sub to Mr. Hardluck. We are making it through. Also, we just enabled a fourth camera now that we're at level four. And here's the fun thing. Now, I'm not going to break it down now. Nope, I can't do it, actually. I've got to wait for the next stream because I've got to bring Dice in. Because Dice, I should tell, I've got to DM Dice how to check it out now. because I actually got it to a demonstrable place. It's way further along than I made it sound earlier, and that's only because I spent so much time on it last night, maybe a little bit during the day when I shouldn't have, and then as soon as I got done with work today. Yeah, can you, the new command, please. There's a command. Dr. Carly Tech, I'll be committing this to memory. There's a new command. I can't tell you what it is yet because it is somewhat functional. All right, we're cool game. There's no reason to freak out. I am going to grab this. No, I'm not. All right, guys, we've done this. I'm going to get there. There it is. Oh, my gosh. Now I have to get the other two. There's one. Yeah, yeah, your second. Well, no, you have one that's lit. Oh, I do? Yeah. Well, what am I doing this for? I don't know. Yeah, that doesn't make any sense. That would have been really cool if I actually did it all in one go. Yeah, you're a, what would you call that move? I don't see a whole lot of other players making that move, and I've seen you do it on the last two times and then over here. I love that move. It works on so many machines. It really does. But you need to Chris Turner it with a name. It's similar to a loop pass, but it's got a backhand element to it. It does. It works on a lot of games. Also, dice, go ahead and give it a spin. Oh, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait. I'm sorry, don't give it a spin, because when you type it in, people will see it, right? Like, that defeats the purpose. Sorry, you cannot give it a spin. Squalito. That will be to your link, which is fine. No, no, but that's fine. As long as he knows that if he saves the link to the website, he would be modifying your stuff. I don't care. Reverse your... Yeah. I can always modify it back, right? Yes. I can always go in and change your ID if I need to. If dice were suddenly to become untrustworthy and somebody was messing with all of your selections, yes, we could fix that. And it won't let me message it. I paste it, and then I send it, and then it says... It doesn't do any... Oh, the computer says no. Although something just did something. That was Medley Bumgachuk, your great name, and Big Her. Also, thank you so much for those followers. You were both fantastic. You were a lot of fun. We've got a height train complete at level two. We're in a height train right now, everyone. That's awesome. And we just hit level eight. Look at that. We're now in XP land. Probably get some music going. I should get some music going. That's been my main issue. That's why my tutorial to points resulted in sub-9 million. He's the Ska. Lipstream has been asking for Ska for like three years. My brother used to be in a Ska band, actually. Cool. Ska used to be cool. It did. It did. He was in a Scott Van 1-1 school. They were called the Jinkies. The Jinkies, okay. He played trauma. Oh, like from, what's the name? Oh, Scooby-Doo. Like Jinkies. Yep. And on that note, Manu streamed Scooby-Doo earlier. Looked amazing. Like, on top of that, I'm guessing Free Gold's watch has their set at a really difficult setting. I don't know exactly what they did, but it seemed like nobody could keep the ball going. Which is really good to hear. Yeah, I heard, I think one of the one-offs in Denver had a Scooby, and I think they have it set up. Okay. And when it's tough, I imagine it's kind of fun. Probably. I've heard all of this from... Only from MJ. I don't think he really knew what was going on. I think that was a weekend where he played a bunch of different pins. Like Godzilla. Elf. Elf. Speaking of the man, it was fun. Much better than Halloween and Ultraman. If that's exactly what you made it look like. By the way, fantastic stream. I couldn't say anything. I was actually in two meetings simultaneously. And then I had you up on mute on my third screen over here. Manu makes this streaming thing look good. I love my messages. Also, the My Body is Chrome is still the weirdest reference moment ever, and I love the fact that every time Manu says something for the first time on the stream, I get reminded of it. So I kind of stopped doing the weird stuff, and I thought I would just play pinball. Yeah, that's where I'm going to go. Of course, I mean, if I complete Hunter, then I'm definitely going for the mystery stuff. Okay. I say that, and then I immediately went for Hunter. Makes sense. Okay. I don't know what his name is, but I'm at this weird point right now where there is a person who on, like, Facebook and Instagram generates memes where he raps to music. And it's always this situation where, like, in a small room with a version. Yeah, do it. Try that move. Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, the nudge move? Yep. Let's see it. Let's see how well it works. not great okay don't do that yeah don't do that uh most people have me on mute and the tertiary screen no problem today was the final day of what we call pi planning which is where no joke um i got a video that i pre-recorded of me uh introducing a presentation for a hackathon our company did in front of 859 people. And that is, that's the number of people on our current solution. And across five different trains of developers, and we use scaled Agile framework. And it was a lot of people. And it was like, and I already mentioned this to the stream at one point, so I'll let you know. But I recorded, I didn't want to mess up and do it live, knowing that there was going to be a lot of people. I didn't realize that we were up to 850. But I pre-recorded it, got it done, and nailed it the first time through. I had the speech and everything, good eye contact. I gesticulated appropriately with my hands, counting things. It felt really good. And you weren't recording? No, no, no. I was recording. Nailed it. Forgot that I was in a tank top and shorts because I had just done a run. And so I came back. I'm like, oh, no, I've got to do it again. kept the shorts on, put on a nice dress shirt, and I got a jacket, and re-recorded it. It took me like six times after that. So nailed it the first time, had to go back, took six times, it was perfect, and then I actually got so, I hate watching myself every once in a while, especially in like a work environment. This, low key, there's no commitment, there's no problem, we're just having fun. But in that kind of situation where I know every person there is judging you very harshly, I'm like, how can I take this person down that's nowhere near as fun? So, sorry to raid and run. Flipstream, do not be sorry. Thank you so much for hanging out. Shut down this here arcade and get packed for vacay. Flipstream, enjoy the vacation. I'm interested to know where you're going out of curiosity, not for anything particular. I wouldn't, like, suddenly show up at your house ready to, like, join you on the vacation. That would be awkward and weird. Cable guy? Yeah. Cable guy! Cable guy! What are we doing? there. So I can get spotted some shots here. I'm going to just do my thing. This is the standard strategy. Right. Okay, I'm going to go there. Go up. All right. Beautiful, Beautiful. Let's start this encounter. It's low-key no commitment. At one point, he forgot it was for work and started playing pinball. Well, I didn't blur out the background. It's a talking point at work. Are those pinball machines? Oh, that must be a picture behind you of, like, an arcade or something. Like, nope. And I, like, walked back and pushed one of the machines. That worked That worked Liking it Old Greg, good evening Flipstream is going to the Oregon coast Then to my niece's wedding Then back home That sounds like an enjoyable time What are we doing? I guess right or left orbit. That was anything. You could work on multiball as well if you wanted to. But you could also save it for the next session. Oh, my gosh. That does not... I've been playing too much Jurassic Park. It does not make its way over easily. All right. Last chance here. I think my best chance to catch up to you... What's up? Oh, no, you keep doing it. I'm trying not to bother you. You're fine. My best chance to catch up to you would be via ambush. That'll work too. Oh. the most amazing background ever that you could record in a video i was in a zoom meeting today someone i was in with had my all-time favorite background it was just their background but every 15 minutes or so they would walk in the door behind themselves Oh, look at the camera and look boredom-fied. That was a terrible choice. I guess I didn't double tap it fast enough. You have to be very quick. What if Escher, like, you got to be quicker than that old man, I think, was his exact response. Okay. I am in a mode, though, and we have 2x going, and we're not on the number 2 multiball, so... Look at that, actual points. Yeah, yeah. We did it, guys. You're at 11 million. That was well. It's my best game. I promise, in this night where we say we're going to play for points, at some point, we're going to play for points. Oh, and I have 3X Play-Doh going. Look at that. like a pro. Yeah, that wasn't like a pro though. Okay, we got one trapped up top and now we don't. Hey, flip screen, be safe, have fun, looking forward to seeing you again. And that was poor defense. Terrible multiball. Wow. Is that a double? Yeah it was. I think so. And I started my second hunter. Dr. Curlytag, let's see, why does this game go 2x, 3x, 6x? Doesn't it go, it goes 2x, 3x? It does go 2x, 3x. 3x. And then if you get all three, it's 6x. Yeah, that's weird. Well, it's my turn. I'll do that. Dr. Curly's at go. Call me Shirley. Flipstream, good night. Thanks for stopping in and bringing all the beautiful people. Well, 39 of the beautiful people. One of you isn't, but I won't say whom. Dice, you're so nice. I didn't say that. I was repeating dice for anyone who isn't aware. All right, we're on ball three. This is awful. So when I got the 5X play field and also Dank Taric, I did not double tap. Okay. I mean, I'm going to try the double tap. Yeah, yeah, yeah. As you should. If the double tap works, then double tap. I spill my drink. I drained the ball. I had an extra ball there. There's no reason for any of that. All right. This is the game. Okay. Excellent. Solid start. Lights your head. Oh! Oh, boy. That was a quick death save. Sorry. Hey, Jack, do we death save in this arcade? I can let it go if you want. No, no, no. Now you have to play. Okay, all right. I earned it. Chaotic, yes, all day. Oh! Okay, Post Pastor, weird. Yeah, I'm not Post Pastor. I don't know. That's Karma. Yeah. Yes. All right, we're good. George doesn't Death Save, but I think that's because it... QDL. Really? Really? QDL saying it's because George can't. I mean, I've never seen it. I've only taken you at your word. You guys are mean. I'm not saying you haven't. I'm just saying I haven't seen you do it. Okay. Death saves all day. Okay, we're there. Lobster sticks the magnet. You guys are hilarious. Like, nobody knows anything. All right. You know what? Let's get our encounter started. And what are the musical tunes that we are listening to this evening, Paul? I'm currently listening to Neon Indian. Neon Indian. There we go. Slow things up a little bit. I really don't like to be on this flipper. to go crossways just yet. I'm not feeling comfortable enough. Wow. Alright. Fine, fine. Rewatched, or rather, re-listened to The Man Who Stays Pinballed today. Such a good movie. Perfect background to doing game room repairs. I still haven't seen it. I also have not seen it yet, but I know I need to. Yeah, yeah, I agree. Everyone always, the reviews I've heard across the board, pretty much the same thing. You don't have to be into pinball to enjoy this movie. Right. All right, one more shot over. Oh, no. Oh, did it give it to me? All right, we're good. We have Hunter lit. We still have encounters. This is just our second mission. So I'm actually... We just timed out the first mission. That was great You could do that every time and just make your way quickly I like those odds and put up some points I guess not quickly Does the two work for your first three First two, not three. Okay. Or you just... It was number three was lit, but it was only my second mission. I'm guessing you conflated the fact that number three was flashing with the fact that it was only... No, you said you timed out a mission, right? I timed out the first one. I already did that and I and I I did I had already hit the the ramp though the left ramp and then I spotted and then yes correct yep oh good Monty was saying that the movie was great I'm sorry I'm misquoting. Is it? No, I did. It's a great movie. I really enjoyed it. So good. Out of all the questions I'd have for Roger Sharp and all he's done, my question would be about growing such an incredible mustache. It really is an incredible mustache. All right. We're starting our second mission. Is it weird that I hear Carl Carl Weathers saying doe, doe, doe, doe, doe, doe every time he says that? I heard go, but I'm probably going to hear go from now on. All right, we've got one here. I'm going to go. Oh, no. I'm in hunter. Hunter should be dunzo funzo. Oh, we get to do the thing. Can we be fast enough? Here we go. Here we go. And we got the 6x. I'm very excited about that, obviously. But we did the thing. Do not take my 6x away from me, dude. How's all your singles? So you're going for the mission or just the multiball? I'm going for the multiball. Hit a shot, George. Do not. You hear that? We're in a tight spot. We're in a tight spot. It gave one back. All right. We're going to hit that shot. And then we're going to hit that shot. I imagine that was quite lucrative, right? No, no, no. No, no, no, no. It's not going to give it to me anymore. We're still in 6X, though. And we got back into Foundry. What are we going to do now? We're going to do the same thing. So the answer to my first question was earlier. What's the hack? We just did the hack. So what you do is you put the spot on the question mark, and you double tap as quickly as you possibly can. Oh, yeah, no, we got it. We got the extra ball. I only have 332. There was no way, so I got it. You need 600 foundry points in order to get the extra ball, so I hit it so fast, I got the other benefit. I just dreamt oh wow I'll take that score huge destroy was that for that particular so there are four different things you can get from the question mark one of them is an extra ball one of them is the six acts another one is Dane's barrack and there's one other thing you can get So I got the extra ball because I didn't have enough foundry. I didn't have that best card for it, which you would need 600. Okay. If Old Bay Vodka isn't weird enough, Friendship Mustard is teaming up for National Mustard Day with Skittles and releasing limited bags of mustard-flavored Skittles. I really like mustard. Skittles? Yes. That was fast. Weird. Thanks for all letters. You went from 230 million to about 800 million in like a few shots. So we had six Xs and I did the fire. So is that an 8X or a 12X? It's a 12X. It's a 12X. Okay, 12X on like two shots. And there's, I don't fully understand this, but there is those two X lights on either side of your right ramp. And that, you might have had both of those going as well. because you did backhand a right ramp there. Yeah. I think those only apply to the right ramp, though. Okay, so I had a ramp of like an extra... That is such crap. No! That was very gracious. Yes. We've been in perfect time to prove that you can guest date, George. I know. So, you went from $200 million to $800 million in two shots. And then you went from $900 million to $900 million on two balls. All right. The only way we're going to beat George is with ambush. Sorry, it's blocking. Oh, yeah, your helmet cam is a little off, by the way. I think it's just this scene that I will fix it. Gotcha. We're good. We're good. All right, let's try that backhand again. There it is. Nice. Okay. Hey there, Hollywood Polo. Aw. Got it. Dice asking, what are we drinking this year? I don't know. Whatever I thought of your bridge. Paul is not a huge fan of the kind of alcohol I keep in the house anymore. No, no, no. I'm more of a fan now of the sours that I was not a fan of. All right. So you might be asking why didn't I just go for the multiball because the number two Razorcrest multiball kind of sucks. So if you hit the Boba Fett target, that'll change whatever multiball you have lit. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Manu thinks he's pointing out to Polo that it's not as sexy over here. Eh, it's probably a true statement. Okay, bye. I like that. Told us on a mission. It's always sexy. What did you have for dinner? Skirt. It's an in-joke. Sorry, nothing to do with your sexiness. Sure. whatever you say I thought we had something special Manu and there was much rejoicing wow total compliment I was running with and then Ed I'm saying something very nice to you oh wow for lack thereof I see I see how it is I think I got you 286 is not bad I mean it's no it's no I'm gonna I gotta crack a bill like that I mean you you puck around or nine the last two balls so but no I think we should just try and get the ambush I want this extra ball Okay, so you want me to work on ambush Yeah, you're in a mode right now Okay That's good, good timing Yes, it's so flat Alright, we have a real opportunity to just bust through Level 2 Oh no That was not what was supposed to happen. Okay. Okay. George, I drove my sister to her job interview today, had some roast beef with spicy three pepper sauce and breaded cheese sticks for lunch. I had a very boring three meatballs and half of an andouille sausage for lunch, along with some nuts and dried peaches. And then I had a salad for dinner. So, those messages that weren't going through for Dice, they'll come through, and I just spam them. Okay. Dice, did you check them out? Or rather, did you click the link, and did you get there? Because I'm hosting that webpage. That is an excellent lunch. It was... I've had better. Alright, that mode is Dunzo Funzo. Ah, could have been better. Could have been timed better. We're at now level two. I'm curious if there are any achievements for, like, monster mode or anything like that. Oh, I literally panic flipped. That was the worst panic flip. I don't usually eat lunch. Queen Dark Lady. I had to start eating lunch. I usually, I did the one meal a day thing for years. But I was unable to build. I was working out too much and not getting enough protein. So it turned out I need to eat a lot more in order to continue building muscle. Hey, I carved a billy. All right. Mission encounters. There's that. Also, I've got scope set. All right. So, currently, I'm going to do the manual. The manual achievement. Somebody just did something. Amanda was there. Dice, why did you just gift a sub to Nightbot? What? What? He just gifted us stuff to Nightbot. Don't panic. Thank you. Dice, my hat's off to you. Thank you. And Nightbot, enjoy that stuff. There's subs for everyone. And the ad-free viewing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no. Stop, stop, stop. Yes. Yes. All right, we're at level three. That's going to suck. That's going to be at the toughest pitch possible. But one shot, one opportunity. I finally got my visa today for my desk lamp. Going to have to get some help on Friday to finally mount my monitor to the stand. I'll finally have two-screen BPX build again. Awesome. Hollywood Polo, are you on the virtual pinball community with people like Flipstream and MPT3K and, gosh, like 75 others, like Game Club Central. That was just tough. Hey, we've got the foundry lit. Yeah. All right, can we do it three times in a row? Alright, here's the hack. No, did not get it. Darn it. You have to hit it so fast. Alright. We're good. We're fine. We're all fine here. I got one shot left. Alright, so this is now rotating. I'm going to be patient and I'm going to wait for it to start its prep back, but it psychs you out and then it does it. I'm going to try it again. Psych, and then go. Okay. There is an achievement for impossible mode. You want to go there. We talk and play all kinds of games together and do some pinball on his channel, Todd Russell on Twitch. Okay, awesome. Todd Russell and I do a high show on Tuesdays at 2 p.m. I'd love it if you'd have me in the background at work. I will absolutely do it. I've got to make sure I follow you. Or Todd Russell. Hey, Hollywood Polo, can you post a quick link to the channel for Todd Russell? There we go. Got it. and shoot the right scoop. How often have you done impossible play? I don't think I've ever tried impossible play. We should do impossible play? Yeah. So the achievement for impossible play, there's two of them, I guess. One of them is just getting over 200 million. In a game. First mini wizard mode. Nice. The other one is a wizard mode. Oh. And I think during impossible play. Oh, I didn't even know there was a wizard mode opportunity. Well, I mean, I think this is considered a wizard mode. Like, it's not the wizard mode, but it is a wizard mode. I love that move. Yeah, you gotta give it a spicy name. Um, what do I need to hit here? I don't understand. Am I... How am I in the found... Am I not... Oh, no, now I finished it. I'm sorry, I was not there. I psyched everybody out. I mean... Did we go for a dank ferret? Yeah. Nope. Did not get it. Alright, so now we need to hit... Oh, no. Left ramp, right ramp. Brilliant. Free exploit, Neil. Alright, head back. Deal. Oh, there is another achievement for getting an absurd amount on the furia, which is only possible during 5X. Okay. I'm pretty sure. Oh, we're 5X into the wizard mode, mini wizard mode. Yeah, I like this. Okay. Don't forget to, you have 45 seconds in your play field multiplier. And do that by hitting the target. 30 seconds left. Okay. We're in phase two right now. Get up there. Okay. See if we can backhand this right ramp. If you don't want me to do the countdown, I can definitely stop. No, it's fine. Yeah, we're good. All right, that's, I guess, love. Oh, my gosh. Five. Oh, this is the five acts you were counting down? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's fine. Ah! Backhand the stupid... You know what? I'm not doing that. Yes, I... No, I'm not. Why didn't you do your move? Just do your move to... To this. That ramp. Oh, my God. To the middle and then to pass to the backhand. All right, you're right, you're right. That's what I should do. I'm going to try it. Up and around. It almost worked. Can we hit it? you you you you you Thank you. I mean, because why not? Can we get everything? We need to get Dank Bear. We're going to do it. Right now, right now. Nope. Whistling birds. Whistling birds is the one thing that's, like, not helpful. Mission smart bomb. Mission smart bomb. We completed all the missions. All right, we're cool here. What do we need? We're at 808 Beskar. We already got the extra ball. Your play-tube timer is ended. For what? For 2x. Oh, for 2x. So I'm going for Razorcrest at this point. We're good. We're good. I don't know how many more we need. Oh, no. We're fine. We're fine. There's no reason to freak out. There we go. How many? One more. One more. One more. One more. One more. One more. Two. Okay. Never said the best barbecue in Texas is from. Ooh, interesting. And lots that got so close to one bill today got Avengers. Congratulations. The pro or premium lobster? That's interesting. If you could have one, which would it be? Pro. Yeah, I would also do the pro. I've considered it a few times. I don't even know what that does. Does this do anything? That was mean. Okay. Up and around. Up and around. That's good. That's good. Then we're going to go middle. Totally got there. Twice. We're good. Up and around. Nice catch. If I do say so myself. I love Bill Burr. That was a purposeful defense. Just everybody out of the pool. All right, so I need to find some way to get this over there. Nope. Okay. Oh, that was going to be a massive bonus. I am so sorry, everyone. High score number one. Who is that going to? Dice gifting Nightbot. That's probably got to be Dice at this point. Dice, yes. Dice, you are getting the new high score number one. Why don't you just give it to Nightbot? I could give it to Nightbot. We're going. All right, Dice, I leave it up to you. Do you want Nightbot to have the high score number one? That would be NBT, right? Or just BOT. Yeah, I would say BOT. Dice, up to you. Do you want it or do you want Nightbot to have it? If you get 20,000 Beskar, you can do Beskar Bonanza, provided you drop 2K on a topper. Oh, I didn't realize that. Is it 20K or 2K? That makes more sense. If you drop 20K, it carries over from game to game. Oh, okay. Well, we got to give it to... I'm pretty sure he wants bot. All right. It is 20K. All right. We're doing bot, but we'll check in and make sure when Dice gets back, he probably went for a drink or something like that. But this is Dice's high score number one given to Nightbot at 1.7 bill. So, was that in your list? No. No, I don't usually focus on missions. They just let them happen. And I don't... Unless I'm not lined up for something good, then I'll... Wait, we're going impossible mode. Oh, I'm sorry. All right, walk us through. How do you get into impossible mode? You just hold down the flippers. Both flippers? Yep, both flippers. Okay. And then we could do co-op, but... No trapping and very hard for all. Okay. Gotta log in, though. Oh, crap. Got to log in. I don't know how you do your home base and that at the same time. You have to do it. Oh, yeah, that's a good point. Okay, so you do your thing, and I'll figure it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can log in on your phone. So, impossible mode, if you didn't know, George. So you have flipper timers up there. Oh, wow, that's going to suck. So if you hold it down for too long, the flipper just dies. Yeah. All right, so no trapping up. That's going to be a problem for me. I trap up. I don't know if you know this. I trap up too. But you can still trap up for this long. That's a long time. But once it's dead, you can't. Yeah. Okay. Should be fine. Dude. Inside is connected. Inside is connected. What whatever game I don't know how to control the magnet thing need to add this to my wallet I Do not We're there we have maxed out our levels this evening. Oh, man. Manu, are you still here? I'm really excited to show Surreal and Manu the next part of leveling that's coming up. I talked about it a few times. Oh, so lining your first multiball is a little tougher, too. I've hit it a few times, and I'm now two shots away. I take it Manu is not still out. It's fine. We'll just keep hanging and be like, Manu, are you here? Manu, are you here? Who's surreal? I would take either at this point. There's Marty. Pay no attention to the man behind you. All right. Manu. And only Manu. Nobody else is allowed to do this. Manu. Type in exclamation point skills. But only Manu can do this. He does have sense. Marty, I genuinely didn't think about doing it with a Z. yeah when you told me earlier I was you were thinking about you know as a missed opportunity could have made it cool if you did skills with a Z I am not I am really disappointed Marty that I missed the George commercial I'm going to have to go back and watch it. Oh no, did it finish loading? It's non-functional, but it's there. And it is cool AF. No, it should only take a second. Okay. Oh, I restarted. Ignore it. My bad. All right, you might need a refresh, or it may have just loaded. One of the two. I forgot I restarted my computer and the web server. I didn't restart the web server. Still waving. It's my move. Did it load now? There you go. Okay, cool. So that's what you're looking at now. Oh, I got a lock. So is it as hard as it seems? No. Okay. I mean, I think multiball takes more. I think it's more hits to start your first multiball. Oh, don't hold it. Well, I mean, now you can. Your ball's not in play. Okay, get a feel for it. Get a feel. Get a feel. I know, Manu. How cool is that, right? So, and it's custom to... Oh, I... Sorry, the command's from just over... Do what you gotta do. All right, there we go. Yeah, it's awesome. And I'm working on the... So the front end is... No, it's not functional yet. So you can't actually choose your skills. All right. So went to... Okay. Yeah, yeah, I see. I see what's happening here. When it buzzes at you, I think you can still flip a little bit. You're not going to be watching the screen. I like it. I like it. Aw. Aw. This here is just $200 million. Any game. What happens at $200 million? You get an issue. Oh. Wow. That was just four reflexes on my part. Aw, I'm super pissed about a thing I didn't know existed two minutes ago. Also, Manu, if you scroll to the bottom, so there's two different skill chains, and you see the supers on both. It's actually me wondering what you are pissed about. Don't worry, don't worry. The only reason I'm holding off right now is that I'm going to have Dice on as a Celebrate Dice stream, and we're going to show everybody the progress we've made so far. Do I still get this? Do it, do it, do it! You got it! Sweet. There's that. Sweet. Thank you. This is where all the points are. Yeah, absolutely. So when you're in a tournament, just do that. Only you can. You cannot do it in a tournament, unfortunately, assuming you are in competition mode. Right. I would never in a million billion worlds think to get something as cool as that. Thank you. I appreciate it. I'm just happy you're not like too bad of a good dumbest thing I've ever seen. Whoa. Game Talk Central came in with the coolest compliment. George is cooler than the other side of the pillow. On those hot nights, man, there's nothing more satisfying than flipping a pillow over and you get that, like, three seconds of intense cool on your face. Excuse me. Nothing cooler. That would make Surreal so angry. In that case, I cannot wait to show Surreal. No ball save? No ball save? It's possible, though, George. All right, all right. All right, so I'm going to go for the super skill shot. Hold in your left flipper, do the same thing for the regular skill shot, and then you need the horseshoe. Only I let go of the flipper too soon, and it didn't give it to me. All right, so my only goal should just be to get into Multimod. Like, I... Yeah. Everything else, just get into Multimod. Yep, exactly. Okay. Here's a Prince song that is the other side of the pillow. Oh, on that note, I can go click all those friends. Okay. All right, we're fine. We're fine. All right. I don't know. Yep, missed the scope. I know. I had to. I had to. I think Hollywood must have signed up. I need that link again. Did anybody else follow and can repost the link? I don't want to miss Hollywood Polo with his buddy on 2 o'clock Eastern Times on some day. It was Monday or Wednesday. It could also have been Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday. It was definitely a weekday. There's one. There's one. There's two. That's very poor timing. That was also some really awful. Why? Why? There. The next time you have a full group, you should also, there is an achievement for monster play. Okay. which is you're going to be player one you're going to be the monster and for your game and your game alone you are on it's all versus me right it's 3v1 and you are in playing in classical play oh my god yeah when Escher comes over we need to do that can you do me a favor though I am so sorry to ask this but They just posted the link to Todd Russell. Can you go on my computer? Kev Tabulous just gifted a Tier 1 sub. Twelve, gifted twelve. Wait, KevTapulous just gifted a year of Tier 1 subs to Manu? Sorry, am I reading that correctly? 12 months of Tier 1 subs. Oh, wow. Wow, KevTap, was that an accident? Oh, my gosh. Also, Manu, welcome to the, you are, oh, Bumper Nugget, you're in here as the impossible grand champion. So I have it, and I am covered up your thing. Oh, all good. Can you hit the follow button, good sir? Kevin Tabula. Hi, Jay-Z. Are you bringing two very tall Swedish people with you this time? You're already following Todd Russell. Oh, I'm already following... I am already following Todd Russell. Excellent. Hi. Sure? Good. far far away is that like versus i swear i've only had like three drinks um let's see here are you are you ronery i am what like lonely yeah wrote wrote ronery yeah like that off of team america oh i'm like if we nope go ronery so ronery and sanrio ron No, I did. But not really. No, God, I love Team America, though. Yeah, nice. All right, are you ready to jump back in, sir? Yeah, what do we do? What's that? No. Oh, is that? We're going to move it and put me over there. Then we're going to come in and we can choose you. We can game mode select you. Oh! I mean, if we could also go back to impossible, or whatever you want to do. Let's do impossible. You're up. We're already logged in. All right, so you'll have to tell me when and if I hit the center shot, since there's no ball save here, how many hits total it is to get to your first multiball, because usually it's like three. Right? How many hits is it to get to my first multiball? In standard play. It is. Yeah. Okay. It's four of them free. Okay. I want to say it's five and then seven and then it's for your second one and et cetera. Taptabulous. Thank you again so much. Have a wonderful evening. All the hats off. Oh, you can't see me. There's a very... My hat's off to you. Thank you. And my name is... Enjoy the ad-free viewing. the Shulie emotes and all the stuff. Manu, yeah, Manu said, by the way, and I'm, tell that sexy bitch back there I said hello. By the way, it's... Do you have to do push-ups now? Oh! Do I get to watch you do push-ups? You don't do push-ups anymore because of my shoulder. Sit-ups? Oh, God, no. No one wants to see sit-ups. By the way, it's seven, George. It's seven. It is seven. Step into your first multiball. Fine. One arm. One arm? Yeah, just a good shoulder. I wonder if I can get you. We have to double. But we got into the multiball. And there's, okay, I was going to say, is there any ball save on multiball? Is there? There is. It's very short. Okay. I can do push-ups again. It's been a while. And we're at a multiball. Great. Awesome. It really is impossible. Yeah. I'm surprised I got as high as I did that last game. Well, Ido, I used to recommend tightness. At this point, I'm back to just natural stern rubber. All right. So on this ball, if I want to get back into a multiball, or at least light my hurry up phase. I can't say it. If you play the multiball and you want to get back into another multiball in the same ball you have to complete a puncher. Okay. Okay. Gabe Anderson of Retro Colorado, is that right? Is that his name? Pure Retro Colorado. He was asking me that during, I think, the last turn, which he, I don't know if he mentioned, but he beat me. Yes, he did. Yeah, of course he mentioned it. Yeah, I just want to see him stand up. He what? I just want to Yeah, that's not bad. Somebody just did something. Oh, my God. Sammy Higgins. Sammy, how the heck are you doing? We are playing impossible mode right now. And just subscribe for 17 months, Sammy. I hope your night is fantastic. How are those San Francisco Padres or is it the Giants? How is your baseball team doing? And how does that compare to the Colorado Rockies? I'm going to switch our music over to another favorite of mine, which I'm not sure how to pronounce the last name because he's very French. Gaspard Auges. It's A-U-G-E with an accent on the E. Okay. Auges. Up and around. Got it. We're good. Hey, and we completed level one. We're actually making really good progress right now. Crap. I did not want to start that multiball. I wanted to bring a mode in. I will take that, though. I will take it. Uh-oh, we just opened up a new command prompt? What? The Giants are doing okay. Rockies, not so much. I was trying to get back to what you just did, or what I didn't mind. Okay, all good. You love that? Yes, please, if you don't mind closing that. I'll switch the spots. You can play over here. Sweet. You also are on Michigan number two. Well, no, this is your ball. Oh, my God, that's your ball? Yeah. But, I mean, if you want to... No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm good, I'm good. I am so sorry. Okay. it ball searched me and then didn't give me any ball day is it possible look at that see my heart rate we're at 116 i'm very frustrated i'm sorry Okay, since we are not in competition play with this, then we're of course going to go for the mystery. Oh, it gave me a planter. I guess not fast enough. I'm not a true believer on this double tap method. It's worked about 50% of the time every time. It's really good. It's really good. Oh, boy. Wait, homegrown is it? I missed it. Homegrown. Welcome to the stream. I missed it. It went so quickly. Also, you have the same color as Sammy. I may have mistaken your color for Sammy. And we don't say hi to Sammy. No, no, but we already said hi to Sammy. Oh, you did? Did it? Did it? We're doing the things. Okay. I have no idea what I was going for there. Oh! Woo! Yeah, it's nice that the buzzer does give you a second to flip. To, like, actually do something with it? Yeah. Darn it. But I have no idea that... I think it's funny that the game ball serves you before you can punch. You say funny. I say wildly irritating. Well, I mean, is that part of impossible play? It's so impossible. The game doesn't even have patience. Darn it. Oh, my God. Just hit shot. Scope. Scope. Get it. Three of those. I don't know why I was still going for it. All right, we're cool. Third mode. I'm going to get to a mini wizard mode in Impossible. I think that's an achievement as well. Okay, we're going to do it. Up and around. So here's a question. If I pick armor during impossible play, does it do anything? Interesting. Does it actually give me a ball? Like a realistic one? There we go. 2.4. Okay. Get up there. We're fine. We're fine. No reason to freak out. Man, I do not have that figured out. Like the angle from the left side. I just, I really don't have it dialed in. From the back end? Yeah. Sure. I do know how to bank it, though. That was pretty good. Missed out on bells and chimes today in Austin. Austin, very bummed. I'm sorry. You do still have the questions. Do you want to try it? Yeah. Oh, no. I'll take it. Yeah, heels are pretty good. Heels are a pretty good one. It's fine. I'm... But although, every time I've seen your questions, every time I've been to the foundry, The question mark is where the armor usually is. Meaning that you can't even get armor. Oh, healed as lit. Okay, cool. We're on mission number four. You might have gotten here. I mean, you just made the game cost, so. Oh, you're halfway. Halfway should be 200 million achievement. Up and around. We're good here. We're good. Going to hit middle. No, we're not. Got it. All right. So one more shot. Got that shot. Whatever that is. I don't know. It's like increasing value. All right. Encounters it is. We've relit foundry already. That's great. Oh, my God. It puts you at hard, and you can't trap up. All right, let's go back to the foundry. Got it. It worked, but we're impossible, not competition. Yeah, if you can start this quickly, Paul, you are a guarantee to get the 200. You already have. You're 30, 20 million away. All right. How many more do I need? It doesn't matter. The five X's really do matter for you. That did it. Yeah, respect. All right, all right. We got respect. I don't even know what that was. That was very cool. Wiser, I myself once said, sometimes you eat the bar. Hey, five acts. And Tim Zomniak. Mr. Nick, how the heck are you doing? So we are killing it right now in impossible play. We are coming back for the heel. Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, no. Do you want to keep your 5X going? You have 20 seconds to hit the boat. I'm sorry. There you go. Still tied down. No, it didn't. Okay. Oh, no. But still. Got the respect. So wait, what was the next one up? It was prodigy, right? I want to be a prodigy. Prodigy. It was the one below respect. Oh, so that is prodigy would be your wizard. Yeah. Okay, we're going to keep working because this is now ball three. Hey, Marty, have a great night. Thank you so much for hanging out with us tonight. Hold it up, something else. Hold it up, something greater. Hold it up, something else. You also have, what's it called, the crown. Oh, I do. Let's hit that. You want the double tap? Yeah, of course. the food song. You got that. I actually wanted to skip it, but I haven't. Six, five, four. You got it. And you got to take the parrot. Okay, cool. Something. Something. By the way, totally Actually, courtesy of Escher, we now have that really cool cone mat with the bubble tap, which you are not in competition with. And this multiball actually has a ball state. Oh! It did. You're going to get them both back? What's the... does anyone know what the add-a-ball is? Oh, that's cute. Nick would like you to know that he thinks your shirt looks good. I understand. And that you're also looking good. You're looking good too, buddy. I don't know what I'm aiming for. Center warning. That's lit. Light up that next multiball. Nice. It's lit. Your boundary is also lit as well. Hey. That's not where that backhand is. Right now. Doom. Bam! Okay. Do I report again? Yeah, always. I gotta change the topic again. Oh, I got it. No, no, no, I don't. I was just gonna do that so I could come back. You got this. You got it again! Start the AMBO! Okay. That's the fourth one. Gotcha. Whatever. Snow 6 next play field automatically. It's really interesting, sorry! It's French. Taylor pointing out that you just lost count. Thank you. Yeah. Now, Paul, normally, I would say, and even now possibly, I may get the speed to actually advance that too, but I was mentioning, like, you're in control of the music, you come up with, like, crazy cool bangers. Yeah. I still have science, technology, science, or what do you think that's called? Art versus science? Oh, yeah, art versus science, but what's the name of the people who got me into it? Create, destroy. Create, destroy, there you go. Oh, no, no, we're not doing that. Homegrown, we are expecting this on Venom. And Homegrown, are you in on a Venom? That's the question. Homegrown. Gaff Barn has some very Morton Garrison vibes. We probably also don't know who it is. I'm guessing. I do not. You might have heard a few more garrisons on. Oh, that had so much spin on it. All right. But, hey, you got respect. I got respect. and I was so close. I have the fifth mission started. So close. What time is it? Oh, man, we got time. It's only 1140. You want to jump into a standard game? Yeah, yeah. I was thinking standard. Like, hey! Impossible Grand Champion. Who is this one going out to? So we've already given it to Dice, a.k.a. Nightbot, because Dice gifted Nightbot a sub. Oh, we... Sorry, who's up next? it just came up on your screen oh I think you're reading something different potentially so wait we've got Kev Tabulous who gifted a year of subs to Manu we've got Dice nope we've got Flipstream so we've got to add Flipstream here who is not currently in the stream he went to bed early but we're going to hit up Flipstream does anybody know what Flipstream's initials are. I know it's B something. I'm going to just say Flip. Because that covers like eight different streamers. Yeah, FLP. Okay, awesome. Manu, thank you. And Homegrown saying, sorry, I'm very pin-poor due to the writer's strike. Out of a job come next month. Out of scripts. Oh, wow, Homegrown. I didn't think about how impactful that was to someone on a show. Thank you. Oh, I'm so sorry. But you love a Venom, okay? I get that. I'm excited, man. It looks brutal. Okay, what else? Venom. That is you, sir. So have you heard of it? Because it's a standard fan layout. Right, and all the shots are really far back, right? It depends. if you're going for the pro, then it just looks like a boring game. But it's really fast. But the fact that the play field changes, honestly, it comes down to the fast blocks. There's going to be no time whatsoever to think about where you're going to be in the shooting net. As soon as that ball hits the point on the ramp in which it can't go back, a ball gets kicked out to your flipper instantly. I'm just taking this opportunity to the fact that I can trap up now Alright, uh, let's go for I already did in the ambush so well a phase of ambush And then here's this stupid magnet that I haven't been able to sure Okay, let's try the backhand again. There it is. Okay. It is really hard to find. It's just fast. I think impossible play will make us better players. It will. It will. It will. It absolutely will. Yeah. Pinsomniac has not seen anything on VLM. Yes. Insomniac. Bought and paid for. I've got an LE coming. Alright, so I'm going to do what I normally do. Which is, I'm still double tapping. You're working it. But yeah, I normally pick armor. So if you have it on competition play and you don't have a question mark available, I think armor or heal are your best options. Okay. Okay. Nice. Good nut. All right. The LE MSRP with 13. There's the middle shot. Okay. There we go. Nice, nice. Wow, bot paid for Ellie. ETS and Frisco need to go home. Homegrown, it's already been discussed. It's happening. There will definitely be a duel. And I'm going to, I feel like I'm going to make Hotties like Venom lore or something like that. There's going to be something very cool about that. Just because Hadi is so into Venoms, it's being an absolute green pin. Sammy, pointing out, tips of the week for merch. Sammy, when you say that, what do you mean? Did you lose a staff hat? No, it was balls bouncing off each other. Okay. It looks like a hat. It's always so rare. Let's see here. Oh, Sammy just, it missed it. I didn't even, I didn't hear a note. Oh, I don't have a sound associated to it. Sammy just redeemed for a t-shirt. Sammy, send me a Discord message letting me know that you redeemed a don't get it. I will get you a link and a code, and you can set up shipping and all the dash yourself from Silver Ball Swag. Nice. Good save. And you got your merch from the Taylor Swift concert yesterday. Awesome. Yeah, that, like, shut down Denver, I think, for an entire day. Okay. Can you and Manu commentate? Absolutely. Oh, my God. That would be amazing. I've had Manu has commentated several of the duels. He's also been dueled many times as well. All right. Now we're going to go with the question mark. Sammy is going to Saturday to be in San Clara. it's going to be nuts yeah you gotta watch out for the zombies the only reason I don't stand for Clara is because Joe is in the elephant if only I could hit something Homegrown just got you to commentate on a Venom Elite battle between me and Hottie I should say between me and Ali, but it's me. No, I wouldn't say I. I would say it's me. I think it's me. I don't know. Yeah, because you can't say I. So, yeah, there we go. And I've had my 3X running pretty much this whole time. Okay, awesome. What's the score? This is ball one, right? Yeah. Yeah. Dang. Good progress. Encounter started. Second mission. Be gone. Razor Crest Missing Ball. Done zone. You're already at 200. Oh, I tilted with that. With the slap? What happened? Wow. I got two drops. Okay. I see what's happening here. You're putting up a good score, so suddenly... Get up there. Get up there. That's the... Oh, no. Oh, I don't have to do... I can trap up. This is so weird. It's like just coming out of Soul Gem, in a way. Oh, my God, yeah. You do that every time you come out of Soul Gem. And, chat, if you guys have a... What's the name of that game? AIQ. And you play Soul Gem, And you have to guard your flips, right? It's the same thing on Godzilla if you get into Terror on Metagodzilla. It's so weird, I can trap up. I just need to keep doing it because I keep forgetting. Yeah, that's why I paused earlier. I'm just going to appreciate it. Okay. First mode started And now we going to start an encounter And he wants to know what games you have now You want to let him know? Yeah. So George currently has Fighter's Premium, Jurassic Park Premium, Mando Premium. Of course. And then we have some old school games, comparatively, and other games. Walking Dead Pro and Lord of the Rings. Is there an O.E.T. Lord of the Rings? Yes, there is. It came out in 2009. Well, it's just the standard Lord of the Rings, right? It has a back glass instead of a translight. Okay. And it looks different. Like, the playfields were actually printed correctly. and I think it has gold armor, if I remember correctly. Oh, this is an Ellie? No, no, no, sorry. I thought you were, I misunderstood completely what you were saying. No, I was going to get into the question. So it's a standard Ellie. Yes. Sorry. Yeah, we'll just go with it. He's got a standard Ellie. And that's not mine, that's Escher's. Yeah. But, I mean, it's in-house. Hey, reverse horse coup. I know, that was very weird. I can't find any shows. I feel like... Yeah. But how would the game know? There's only one switch back there. Alright, we're cool. Alright, the music is starting to grow on me a little bit. Starting to. Okay. No, no, no, I'm not... Leave it! Jordan is starting to like it. I'm starting to like it. Somehow I've tweeted out every time. Captain is the best one. It's the faciest one, too. Okay. I'm going to just shove this forward a little bit. We're going to keep rotating. We're good. We're good. Hey, Homegrown got a Hot Wheels. All right, we're good. Infiltrate award. We're going to work on level two and get a mode shot. I love two first. Done. So surprisingly, there's a decent amount of points in bonus level every once in a while. Yeah, that was 9.5 million in the bonus level. It's so weird to be able to trip off. It's still messing with me. Oh, Brent got your Hot Wheels, huh? Homegrown, stealing people's games. All right. I feel like this song has some Castlevania vibes. Yeah, it definitely has a video game feel. So, Captain, the song I just mentioned, is up next. you you you you you You can find a way to demonstrate on a probe, if you can even wrap up up there on a probe. up and around up and around all right now we're going for the right ramp totally got there Crap, I wasn't paying attention. This is going to lock in at the hardest possible. And this is the song. Okay. Fuzzy Chord, welcome. And Manu is in the market. For Hot Wheels. It's a cool game. I will definitely give it that. So, sure, why the hell not? Did not get it. We're going to go ahead and start mission number four. I think it was already lined up to do that. All right, easy. There's that. There's that. Okay, I like where the game's head is at. It could have been better. All right, we got the horseshoe. Got it. Just fine. We need the right orbit. I'm going to say screw it. Go for the middle. Let's see if we can trap up here on the left. Not going to happen. That's fine. I'm going to go there. Beautiful. Right orbit. Got it. And the cool George shot. Oh, no. Missed it and tilted. CMK, I'm definitely not getting that. Oh! Oh! Somebody closer! So I was going to switch it over to that one. Once this song is done. Okay, it's a good song. I like it. Because I don't want to jar the viewers. You wouldn't want to, yeah, like with the tilt kind of job. Sure. Have you tried the George combo shot on the blunt? That one? Yeah, that one. That was my first try. I've got to get through this hurry up, though. Okay, two more. See, I don't know if I actually said it out loud or if I'm thinking it, but definitely not getting the same thing. I prefer more than four shots. I'm just somebody's been vomiting. Oh, no. Oh, no. Let's see. I'm catching up. I'm catching up. Yeah. All right. This is it. This is the song. Up and around. Nice. Like it. Like it. Like it. We're good. We're good. Not good. This is so bad. And now we're ready to light our second. We're not in a mode right now. Up and around. Level 2 on Encounter 2 We're good, we're fine, we're fine Cool. Come back, come back, come back. Keep it going, keep it going. Cool. One more, one more, and encounter two is done. And encounter three is even easier. Oh, yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Encounter. I meant mission. I said encounter, but I meant mission. Are you trading out any games? Lord of the Rings isn't mine, and I only have space for five games, and it's really, really tight. How much do you need? Yep. I'd say about 8K right now, maybe. Crap, crap. I wasn't. Last shot. Got it. Good. All good. I will take it. All right. What are we doing now? I don't know how many more shots we need towards multiball. Good. We need one more mode shot. Screw it. Let's bring in a multiball. For one more mode shot. Done. Okay, so that mode is done. And once we get out of this, we are in our first mini wizard mode. Okay, we're going to do this again. I love this song. This is so good. This is, when I say bangers that Paul introduces us to, this is exactly what I'm talking about. All right, so we got the child. Let's go I. I. Didn't work. We'll take the 2.5 million. Got to get a buyer for my current pin. Thanks. Ooh, Manu. God, that would be a fun trip, and I would like to own that pin for a bit. The foundry is open right now. Done. What do we have? No! Come on, it didn't work. We have $420 million in hidden disdain. You missed. You missed. You just feel very judgy. Like, if I met Carl Carl Weathers, I might be a little... I might be a little like, I don't know if I like this guy. before he says anything. He seems like a judgy person, but it's only because he's constantly like, you missed, you could do better. You're an awful father. Kind of what, like, just call-outs from Carl Carl Weathers in general. Right. All right, there's that. And then there's that guy from the rest of development, like, oh, you've got two going. Yeah. No, I don't. He's giving like Tobias some acting advice and he's like just this... He's playing Carl Carl Weathers but as an over the top character. Okay. Yeah, he's playing as himself. It's like they got some free food or something. He's like, oh, hey Tobias, you gonna eat the rest of that? And it's just like all bone, the turkey leg or something like that. I was like, oh, yeah. Crows and potatoes. Carrots. We've got a stewed dog. All right. We used our missiles that we got earlier, and now we're into phase three. By the way, we're in a mini wizard mode. I like those odds. And we're in phase three, which is the multivolts. So, I think we've been in quite a few mini-wizard modes today. Yeah. There's a little, I don't know about the Wii, but you certainly have. And then you broke the code. Like, hacked the planet code? All right, here's the last one. Nothing like a multiball to throw on some clock. Right? Up and around. This is going to be blocked like it never did. It's going to hurt. Ah. Come down the left. Left. Left. Left. Oh, no. Oh, no. Extra ball. Add a ball. Gimme, gimme, gimme. Nope, not enough. I don't even care. Not a big deal. Whatever. I've had better. All right, so we're going to use the Foundry this time. We're not going to do the question marks. We have 384. What we're going to do is enable the next encounter. What is it? Rising complete? Not complete. We want to start an encounter. Light encounter. Done. That just saved me like six shots on the third level of encounters. Hey, Sammy, have a great night. Thank you so much for hanging out with us. So the third level is even easier because if you're patient, it just moves while you're trapping up. So you just wait for it to get flat, take a couple shots, trap, and then you're good. Done. So there's one. I'm going to be patient. I'm going to wait for it to go flat. And destroy it. It was awesome. And we're back. Quick, quick, quick. Gimme, gimme, gimme. Just going to be patient here. I know this is super boring, but this is how you beat this mode. There's one. All right, level one is done on encounter three. So we're going to wait until it gets flat. Now we're at level three. We're going to once again just be patient. Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah. Darn it. Two shots away, though. Two shots away from another mini wizard mode. Although we have to re-hit again. A lot of left ramps. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. Done. Dunzo funzo. The encounters are done. Now if we can work on our Razor Crest. And for that, we need to hit a Hunter. So we need to work on Hunter over here, or we can work on Left Ramps. I would work on Left Ramps because you're on the up-ball too. Yep. And then automatically do it on your next ball. So I don't know if you saw what I was doing there. So what I'm doing is hitting the left ramp and then hitting the center and then trapping up on the left ramp. Gotcha. Oh, no. Try that again. Up and around. And then it's quick. There's that. Do it again. Up and around. Encounters are lit. Up and around. Oh my god! No! Damn! I am not a fan right now, but thank you so much for allowing me to play it. I mean, you're one shy away from doing it though, right? I know, but it would have been nice to start it and drain out while I was in it. Uh, Fuzzy Core, this is, uh, Compler Ball? Let me see. Double check. check. Yeah, compiler bow. Compiler B-A-U. All one word. And for my ball, we're going to listen to some auctioneer kind of stuff. Auctioneer? Yeah. Okay, okay. Get ready. George, how can I only show rows that don't have null values if one of my values is the date and it's never null other than a where statement? How can I only show rows that don't have null values? There's a lot of context there in Xamniac that I would need in order to come up with a more elegant solution. Good game. Woo! Woo! This is the weirdest song. You like it? I don't know. At the end of the day, everyone did it. Is this good? I mean, it's good. Do you like it, though? It's good. Frisco, why am I listening to the mic? Oh, yeah. Nice save. But it's good because it makes it to the beat. Right? Wow. No more of those. Just hit the ramp. Wow. Wow. There you go. There you go. All right. Right orbit. Right orbit. Right ramp to get out of it. Oh, wow. You had two more. No, I was at 5x. Oh. Sorry, that's all that matters. I thought you were actually trying to complete the mode. You got that. What do you mean 6x? But I think I don't I'm not for sure how many points I got on that. By the way, this is the most fun of the mini wizard modes Yeah, it traps up a ball there and then you have to add a second ball up there So this is our second mini wizard mode this game And this is another multi-phased approach Can we backhand this? There it is. All right, so we hit phase one is done, and now it's holding two balls up top. Oh, wow, Cider Cane Houston. Shoot left ramp to do something, to complete levels. I don't know. Phase two, defeat the Dark Trooper. Complete shots before they time out. All right, so we don't have a ball save anymore. Somebody just did something. What was that? That was Cabal with a hundred and... Yeah. Cabal with 12 bits. Thank you so much. It's Cabal 1313. But thank you for lurking and thank you for hanging out. We timed this out, though. Crap, I need to hit consistent colored shots. Can I time this out? I don't want to stay in this mode. It doesn't end up making it. It does. I think it's going to... That's not good. There goes all three. Darn it! But that was two of the three mini wizard modes, which I swear happens every single time I stream this. You guys, it is 20 after 12. Paul, you are fantastic. Thank you so much for coming over, for walking us through some scoring strategies. You beat me every game. No, but the strategies are the important part. I just focus on progression, but that's different. You more efficiently, I feel like, are able to put up points, and you have some suggestions on how to get there and some standard strategies, I feel like, to get there. Also, just a huge thing, knowing that there's no question mark in competitive mode for whatever reason, It's very surprising to me. So, appreciate it nonetheless, and thanks for hanging out. Now, Paul streams pinball, allegedly. Yeah, I have streamed pinball. It has happened. Homegrown, thank you for those bits. You are fantastic. My hands off to you. Honestly, to everyone tonight, we had so many gifted subs and bits and awesomeness. We're at level 10. We had a hype train. We had the hype train, exactly. I'm going to do a quick shout-out. Why don't you talk about your stream, and maybe one week and expect to see you. Oh, gosh. Who knows when you can hope to see me again. I'm still... I mainly stream from the arcade here in Fort Collins, which is Pinball Jones. And I might start to be doing that kind of after hours. But who knows when that's going to be. Don't hold your breath. It'll happen eventually. but right what no you said you were going to do a quick shower I'm going to do a shout out yeah yeah shout out torture dirty but no we have 38 pins at pinball jones and I have a foot cam so we're in between leagues right I don't know if I'll be doing a tournament or not, but in the past I've done our competition plays. But yeah, we might just be doing some regular stuff, but for now I've got ACN installed. We're doing a lot of different things here. Oh, did the AC actually get installed? Oh my god, that's such a difference. They're subterranean and in the summer it gets so hot down there and humid, so that's awesome. Awesome. And Aiden didn't have to drop like 30k on it either. He found a workaround. Okay, cool. Yeah. Is he just stealing air from the above? I think I was joking. No, he's not stealing it. It belongs to the building. Pinball Jones is like a dungeon. It really is. Right? Especially because of how hot it was down there. And it's all like brick walls and everything. so it very much looks kind of like a pinball dungeon. Yeah, so we cut a hole in the ceiling in a certain spot and now there's cool air flowing. Yeah, that's all it was. Hopefully there isn't like a hole in the store above. There was a plenum. There's like a chimney. There's a... I'm just imagining somebody upstairs putting out clothes. There's no little kid who's going to fall on a pinball machine. through this healing anytime soon. But one of our bartenders who's worked there for over 10 years at this point is happy yet upset that this simple solution could have happened a while ago. Yes, yeah, I get it. I do love this song. I have this song on my workout list. Oh, I mean, this is just whatever's next. Oh, okay. You're probably pulling from your algorithm. Yeah, my algorithm. It's just a good algorithm. Awesome. Well, Paul, thank you again so much for hanging out with us. New fun content coming at some point in the future. More details to come. On top of that, Manu got to check out the new fun stuff happening with levels. In addition, Paul got to check out the cool stuff that will eventually work in the near future. The hard part was honestly getting the whispers to function along with all the infrastructure to make sure that there was a custom ID so that way, like, you can't go in and modify Manu's skill set selections. And then at some point it'll be actually implementing the skills, which is cool because I've already laid the groundwork for that in StreamerBot. So that's not the huge effort. Now it's getting the webpage, which is accessible, that allows you to choose skills to actually update, save, and then update all of the appropriate places. So that way the appropriate places know how to apply your skill collections. It's a tiny bit of work. It should work a lot faster now that the bots are now being asked a lot. Nightbot is now subbed to the channel. I wonder how often Nightbot gets subbed. That's a great question. It channels. Yeah, exactly. Dice, I know you're not on, but thank you again for subbing Nightbot. It's good to know that Nightbot doesn't have to watch ads. It's super appreciated. Let's go find someone to raid this evening and have a great weekend. If we don't stream again, we'll be back on Monday, my guess is, with actually some Walking Dead. I think I'm done with Lord of the Rings forever. I don't need to play it. Yeah. Yeah. So we'll jump back on with Walking Dead soon. Somebody asked me recently, like, you have a Walking Dead? That's how often I'm not playing it right now. We should figure out when I come over and fix your rail. Oh, so that way it hits the left flipper nicely? Yep. All right, well, are you interested in playing the Walking Dead? Okay. We'll get Paul back on for a Walking Dead tutorial again next week. What? I don't know. I have no idea what I'm saying. I can't go back and even give you an estimate on the words that came out of my mouth. By the way, there's no more walking. What? What happened to the walking deck? We got our... So we have the Elvira trifecta set up. So, yeah, we... Sorry, when you say Elvira trifecta, I assumed like 90% of the people, but for the other 10%, what are those three games? So we've had House of Wars, which is the newest game. Okay. That's Elvira 3. Got it. Scared Skip, hugely popular, classic. Sure. Cool ramps. Valid Ramps game. Yep. Yep. And then number one is Elvira and the Party Monsters. Ah. Which is System 11. System 11. Okay. Yeah. So that was the first one, and we just got that. So that's on the floor. They're all set up right next to each other. So one comes in, one's got to go, and, you know, Walking Dead just wasn't making the coin drop. So, okay. Well, cool. Guys, thanks again. Let's go raid some. Check out Pinball Jones. Check out Bumper Nugget. And we'll see you soon. Thank you. Keep waving. Keep waving. Keep waving. Keep waving. 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 fuck 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 a tube, 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? _(Acquisition: youtube_groq_whisper, Enrichment: v3)_ --- *Exported from Journalist Tool on 2026-04-13 | Item ID: 5431f815-824b-4bbf-82df-567076b9a764*
