## Transcript

Well, isn't this lovely? We got a new game. Surprisingly enough, there's a new game. Hello everyone. Manu here. MBT3K. It's called Weathering Weathering Waves Pinball. Hey, Grammy. Weathering Waves Pinball. And it is a a heck of a They did a lot. Um, so we're going to try and jam on this. I was jamming on this a little bit before. It seems like one of those It feels like like an older like Steve Ritchie game where you just you just shoot a lot of things a lot of times and things happen. Um, let's check this out. By the way, I must tell you guys, well, at least Grammy, I must tell Grammy because Grammyy's here. This is the last regular Tuesday uh virtual stream. I have decided that this is uh this is um this is probably going to go on hiatus for quite a while. Um, I've gotten very busy doing other things, including making tables of my own. The the uh the the output of VPINS have slowed down and I've basically streamed everything I can stream. Um, is weathering a word? I don't even know if weathering is a word. So, uh, thank everybody or at least thank the what six people that are here for showing up on Tuesdays regularly. Um, just stay follow the channel and whenever I do pop up on a Tuesday to do something, I'll pop up on a Tuesday to do something. But this is this is it. We're not doing regular Tuesdays anymore. Um, don't fear though. Fridays will continue. Um, as as long as I can continue Fridays. Fridays are Fridays are open. So, the theater is going to be running, but the Tuesdays and the Thursdays are pretty much going to go away. So, if anybody if any streamer out there wants the Tuesday 8:00 Pacific time slot, it's yours. Now, this right here, let's switch to this. Um, can I do this? Boom. What's up, dreads? Worthering. To eat Worthers. Got it. To eat Worthers. I like Worthers. Yes, toffee is delicious. This here is kind of the rule set. So, I went to look up the rule set on this and it was like as much as you get from a pinball company, which is a shame. I'm going to bring up uh I have a topic for the next um pinball minority report that discusses why don't we get instructions on pinball machines? Like you get instructions on video games and you do Yeah. Admittedly, you do get like some tutorials on pimo machines, but they don't go very deep. It's always about discovering it yourself. And I don't know, if you bought a game that cost $12,000, maybe you might want a manual to say, "Hey, here are the rules. Here are the shots. Here's the playfield multipliers. Here this, here." Anyway, there's pros and cons to that. I know it's a part of a culture thing, the culture of pinball to discover it on your own, but some people just don't got ain't got that kind of time anymore. Um, all right. Let's get to this. So, the music is very loud. Um, there it is. I am absolutely not familiar with this license. If this is a license, I I don't know. Is it Withering? Wthering waves. Withering. Wthering. It's by It's by GTE. GTAC is the uploader. Um, and so far it's pretty cool. Actually, I'm I got to take my glasses off to do this. Wthering. Okay, Grammy has it. Wthering is a northern English dialect word derived from old Norse. That means blowing strongly with a dull roaring sound. It describes turbulent Carl Weathers, particularly a stormy, blustery wind or a place exposed to such roaring winds. So, I'll say it's not a real word. After all that, you're not convinced it's a real word. Well, let's try this withering thing. So, here, let's uh put a quarter in. Press start. Stop all that damn music. Select a resonator. So, we get to select a resonator. Is that what she said? Select a resonator. So, selecting different um characters gives you different perks on different things. For example, I was choosing I think I was choosing this. Okay, wait a minute. Where is she? This character. Um, Augusta will unlock multiball twice as fast and plus 10 seconds on ball saves and has an element advantage. I can harvest 2x for that thing. I don't know what that thing is. I'll keep it in my back pocket for the next time I'm in Northern Robert Englunds and talking to some random old person. Oh, the Carl Weathers. It's quite weathering, isn't it? They be like, "Have we become best friends?" Yep. Um, broadblade mission twice as easy. Okay, so let's start with Augusta and see if we can get that multiball because I haven't haven't been able to get that multiball yet. Um, there are skill shots and I don't know what they are. So, one thing I do know is I think I think shots to the spinner. So, that's mystery. Shots to the spinner may get me ball locks. Also, there's the echo. There's the echo standups. There are the echo standups here. I'd say old bean, how are you fairing with this withering and So echo is here. So if I can spell echo on these standups, these tiny standups. They are so small. I'm not even going to try and hit that last switch on this flipper. I don't know what lighting the inside lanes does. And that's a dangerous That's a dangerous um brick right there. Okay, so all the echo shots get reset and I start all over again. Um let's just let's just see where we get see where we go. I did find that there's a second way there. There are two ways to lock balls once you have ball lock lit. I think every combo gives me 10 million or 10,000. I would love to hit these echo targets while I have a ball save running. And I don't have a ball save running anymore. Bounce and Oh, that was a bad flip, Manu. Okay, there's an orbit. Mystery is not lit. I got to figure out how to light Mystery. I think it's these lanes, maybe. Oh. Oh, you'll notice there's a captive there's a captive ball. It's like a kinetic ball. It's like a nano ball that'll hit another ball to hit the pop bumpers. So, the only way you can hit the pop bumpers is to hit the is to hit the ball that's up in here. Okay, lock is lit. There are two ways to shoot the lock. One is with the upper flipper. That's a tough shot. And the other way is all the way over here in this shot. Oh, and that's not super easy either, but at least Uhoh. Oh, hey, Pirate Ninja, welcome in. You are a legend. Thank you for the follow. Okay, get it. No. It's tough to lock balls on this, but I'll do it. Got it. There's your lock. It's that left orbit way over there. Now I think more spins will get me another lock. Oh, that rejected. That's a cool little spot right there. Bonus. Okay, that's bonus multiplier. That's I thought it was a Oh, I got a ball save running now. That's cool. Wonder what that ball save was for. It's gone. Now I'm going to try and lock another ball. Oh, that's not going to make it. That made it. Okay. Ready. Lock. Nope. Okay. This is discovery phase. Cool. All right. Give me a bol. Nope. Oh, good nudge. Man, I really want to start that multiball. How many balls you need to lock though? I don't know. Still lock is lit. Got it. Ball two locked. Yep. Bonus multiplied. Combo. Give me some spins. My bonus is up to 5x. Good. Give me more spins. Oh no spins. No. Give me more spins. Spins. There we go. Okay. Okay, got my pop bumpers a little bit. Nope, not a lot. All right, there's this flashing stand up here. There's that one. Let's see if I can We've been caught with our shields down. Incoming ray to the mystery pinball theater. Mostly pirate. Welcome in. What it is? Happy birthday. Right on. Welcome to the stream as cool. Thank you. It's not my birthday though. Oh, am I in a mode right now? Yeah, there's a dude on the screen that I'm fighting. Oh, so we're in Iron Man now. Welcome in everybody. I'm trying to not die right now. That's cool. You can hit it from the back. I can hit I hit it from the back, y'all. I'll hit it from the back. Ah, yeah. Let's go. How many more hits does it take? I don't have my multiball lit. Welcome in, pirate. I hope you were having a great day. I hope you were playing something fun. I'm still in the middle of this mode where I'm trying to beat this guy in the middle of the no kickback, nothing. Dang it. Well, that's the best I've ever done actually on ball two. I'm woo wanging. What's up, Bobo? Uh, what the Incoming raid from Mostly Pirate. How's the pin and balls, man? They are fine. Thank you so much. Oh, baby. I like it raw. Okay, here we go. I was in a mode, you guys. It's amazing. I don't even know how I got in that mode, but I really I really want to start this multiball. Did I get it? Who's that hoodie? Grammy asking. Oh, I started it. I did. I started the multiball. Okay, hang on, Grammy. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do in this multiball, but let's try and shoot the lock again, I guess. Let's see. Let's not trap up. Let's not Let's do what Tim Ston says and don't trap up until the ball save is done. Once the ball save is done, we can trap. Okay, ball save is done. We're going to trap. Try and trap. Nope. Oh, ball save. Nice. Oh, look at this. There's a new person on this on the playfield. Oh, I still got him. Okay, I think I'm in a mode, which is a two ball mode. What do I have to do? Who do I have to shoot? What do I have to hit? Oh, there's that dude in the middle again. Okay. All right. Is it time? No, it's not time. Let me check chat real quick. Where are the pop bumpers again? Yeah, they're hidden, Grammy. So, the pop bumpers I can't access the pop bumpers directly. I have to hit a ball. And if my whiteboard works, I'll show you. But I have to hit a ball to hit the pop bumpers. They're up top. Damn it. So, whenever I hit this captive ball, it he'll hit the pop bumpers for me. I've almost got him. Got him. He's dead. All right. I have a My balls glow now. My ball is glowing. Boom. Finish. Final shot. Oh, lots of balls. Lots of balls. Okay, here we go. Try and hit everything. Let's see. Oh, that was good. Okay, let's get control back. There's the pops right in there. Okay. Okay, we're doing okay. Um, let me check the This might be my favorite looking game you've played. Yeah, this is pretty cool. Where the pop bumpers? This is a fun table. I somehow blanked on your name for a second. Kept writing Marty. Probably because you look so similar. My name is My brain's getting old. Upper left foot flipper underneath all the stuff. Yeah, it's I can't I can't hit pop myself. Um yeah, I can't hit the pops myself. I'm going to try and get another ball lock. Oh boy. Sorry, I forgot to say hi to Lamb. Got it. Ball lock. Which ball is that locked? I don't even know which ball that is. I got a playfield multiplier going. Now, I will say this much, guys. I'm as privy to this game as you are. Kind of a maybe a little more privy. This is your basic uh do the stuff and get rewards kind of table, right? So, you know, you shoot a loop, shoot the ramps a bunch of times, shoot the the drop target. Oh, that guy is back. I'm fighting this dude again. It's another dude. It's a different dude. Oh, I got a kickback. How do you relight the kickback? I would love to know. I would love to know how to relight the kickback. Oh. Oh, crap. Oh, when you don't have a ball lock, it comes right out. I don't want to shoot that guy directly because he looks dangerous. So, instead, I'm going to go around him a bunch. Boom. That's like the uh that's like the Dungeons and Dragons shot right there. This is kind of cool. My my still my biggest complaint there's there's zero there's zero sound design. There's no sound design in this game. And I checked this time. The only thing you have is maybe the shot on him. Okay. Now I got to deliver this in his mouth. Or I got to deliver it right there. Wait, wait, wait for it. Wait for it. Ah, damn it. D and D layout. For the most part, it looks like a combination of some D and D. Oh, look at that. Oh, was the last person to do something? Pirate. What are your initials? I want to put your initials in if you're still here. I'll give you a few seconds. Um, it looks like a little bit of D and D. Looks like a little bit of What was I thinking? I I was thinking D and D. Yeah, because dragon is there. And then here's here's the cube and like the shop. Um, they changed a little bit of the layout around here. Okay, pirate's not here anymore. I'm going to p for pirate. Um, P. for pirate. Cool. Hey. Okay, I'm getting the hang of it. So, the high score in here is 4 million. Um, I like picking the character who gives me the multiball faster, even though the multiball is still really difficult to do. Um, yeah. So, there we go. 4 million as a high score, right? Baked in. I will insert my coins. Is anyone familiar with this license or is this just something made up? Wthering waves. Is this an anime that we I should know about? Can I watch this on Crunchyroll? Let's Who are we going to pick? Unlock mystery twice as fast. It's a It's a gotcha game. Pirate, where were you? I wanted to put your initials in. It's a gotcha game. Okay. Um, bumper points 2x and playfield X twice as fast. That's That looks good. Let's pick this chick. R A ar. Okay, got it. Um, here. Let's do this. You know what I wish though? I wish one of these girls had um large breasts. None of them seem to have very large breasts. I know. It's terrible. I'm object I'm objectifying them, but man, I you know, it's just not doing it for me. I don't know. All right, let's pick somebody with some actual Let's see. Where was I? Okay. Bumper points times two and playfield X twice as fast. Let's go with that. Um, scroll slower. What's a Valentine? not really, lamb. Not really, lamb. A little to the left. Let's see what we got. You missed everything. What's up, Lynn? Is that Lynn? Yeah, it's Lynn. Ah, Lynn, you made me drain. Lynn made me drain. Big breasts are Big Breasts are being used in the newer video games as a way to avoid people claiming these are claiming these are effing kids. Um, boy, that was a waste of ball one. By the way, Lynn, you know what? I was looking at the Mega 65. That looks like something. If I were if I were if I were going to buy some Commodore hardware, I'm thinking the Mega 65 and not the the Commodore Ultimate. Have you seen that Mega? It's expensive. It's like $1,000. But I was looking at it today. You haven't looked at the Mega 65. It's like a $1,000 FPGA. It's the form factor of the actual uh Commodore 65 prototype. Um, yeah, it's expensive, but injection molded. It'll run, it's FPGA cores, so it'll run AmIGGA, it'll run 128, it'll run um, this is something that the Ultimate cannot do. It'll run Amigga, it'll run 64, it'll run 128, it runs whatever cores are available. Real Commodore 64 core. It looks It has an internal three and a half inch drive. It looks sick, Glenn. It looks sick. Like I know you're not interested in the Ultim uh the Ultimate, right? And uh I'm not terribly interested in the Ultimate either, but if I wanted if I were going to buy some hardware There are my pop bumpers. Can I run video toaster? man, there's something there's something that video toaster. Oh my god. Yeah, I'm complaining about the size of the women's breasts right now. They're not You know what's funny? Here's the thing. Like, we could look at anime and stuff and we're like, "Okay, whatever." But if you actually saw someone that looked like that in real life, you would run there. There's no way you're sticking around. You're like, "Murder that thing right now." I was interested in the Ultimate, but given the issues with Christian Simpson, I decided that buying it used on eBay was what I wanted to do. Yeah. I mean, I'm doing just fine with my Mister right now, but that thing looks pretty sweet. Okay, this this game is a this game is a bust. Look at that. Oh, pops. Pops. I got to hit 20 pops to make something happen. So, maybe we should work on pops. How many more pops I got? 18. I think I need 20. What happens when I hit 20 pops? Let's see. Did I get the lock? I got Oh, yes. I got the lock. What happens when I hit 20 pops? This is This is This This is a cool I need some pops. Playfield multiplied again. And I'm not scoring anything though. Here we go. Okay. I thought I got 20 pops. What What am I doing now? Uh I could argue run which way and with what intent? I wanted something that wasn't 40 years old components, but could still use 40-year-old accessories. Spin interrupted. By the way, since you guys are are here, just to remind you once again, I made a little announcement at the beginning of the stream that this is my last stream. Sorry. This is my last regular Tuesday night stream. I will no longer be streaming regular Tuesdays anymore. Um time all that other stuff just doesn't allow it anymore. So stay, you know, keep following the channel, whatever. Whenever I feel the urge has he's agreed to stream every whenever I feel the urge dreads I'll come on on a Tuesday at 8 but I'm I'm if if anybody wants the Tuesday at 8 slot you know not that I own it but I've been doing this stream for six seven years it feels like almost every Tuesday night of my life and I'm done to all your Tuesday streams going forward will be weird. Yes. They won't be normal. They'll be weird. Look at that. I like how I can like combo that. Damn it. Okay, that's ball three. I managed to make half a million on nothing. So, there we go. In honor of in honor of the Tuesday night streams, I wore my hot as hoodie. It It's hot. This is really hot. And uh would you like to hear? I'm not going anywhere. You guys will see me, but I'm just going to say thank you so much for supporting me on Tuesdays. I really appreciate it. Um, let's pick somebody else. Unlimited left kickback. That sounds kind of good. That's it though. Weapon perk. Pistol mission twice as easy and reward X2. Character switching. Oh, this one is good because you can switch characters. That's kind of cool. Although you can't like the ball is still live when you're switching characters. Uh RIP Tuesdays, moment of silence. Don't worry, Fridays are not going anywhere. Fridays will survive continuously until I get tired of that, too. Echo Domeage. Is that supposed to be damage, you guys? Echodomage. And I don't know cuz I can't insult like an anime if it makes up a word called doage or withering. Do we want 2x echodomage? Zany ramp points times three and reward echo times three. Weapon perk gauntlet mission twice as easy. Brain domeage. Augusta unlock multi. I like Augusta. Unlimited right kick. Oh, you can't get somebody who has unlimited both kickbacks. Uh, Euno. Euno. Let's do Euno. Unlock mystery twice. No. Harvest. Yeah. What? All right. Whatever. We'll take Euno. This is I think this is pretty well balanced because none of them are really awesome. Oh, was that a skill shot? Oh. Wait. Oh, there's a whole thing going on in the beginning of the game that I'm skipping. That wasn't a skill shot. That's just the beginning of the game. I want to hit these. Hey, Terry. Ah, look what Manu plays after being inspired with his dream daddy pinball sessions. What? What Terry? I don't get it. Ah, look at what Dream Day was a virtual pimok, was it? I don't know. I was already asking people what is um What? Oh crap. Oh, the dude came up. Okay, I'm in a battle right now. Dream Daddy. I got to look up Dream Daddy now. So, I I hit all the echo targets and I started a thing and then I immediately drained. So, let's try that again. Hit all the echo targets. Terry gets pinball, you guys. Terry gets pinball. Oh man, I got to do better than this. Last ball. Can I switch characters? I can't. Skill shot. I would expect that would be a skill shot. Seriously, that's a soft plunge. Who's going to soft punch in pinball? Who soft plunges? Nobody, right? Why soft plunge when you can just crank it? Hey, what's up, Jordan? Is this based on one of your sexy Steam games? Nothing soft done in this game. Look at this Jordan. That was not awkward at all. All right, we got to break four million. So, I'm going to try and focus you guys. So, don't distract me. Is this character changing? Hang on a second. Let's do this. Car character switching and bonus multiply twice as fast. Bonus multiply twice as Oh, I get it. I get it. It changes to match the character. And you know what? These are your bonus lanes. And I was wondering what they were doing. So, they'll go from off, I think, to blinking and then blinking to solid. That's what's weird about it. So, during this during this ball save time, I'm going to try and hit these dangerous echo targets. Once the ball save is done, okay, ball save is done. Now, now I have to focus to something else. The slings right now being really nasty to me. Okay, so no, it looks It looks like it goes solid. Let's see. No, I'm wrong. Oh, but this is the character that does twice as fast. This character does twice as fast on the bonus. So, it won't do this the blinking thing. Okay. If I can hit that. Oh, okay. There's there's a monster. So, I got a monster up. Now I'm playing Iron Man. Now you're playing Iron Man where you're trying to defeat You're trying to defeat him. And boy, do they take a lot of hits. man. And they're dangerous, too. I would pull a multiball in on that then. Um, no way. I'm watching Manu play weathering waves. Why not? I don't What's behind that joke, trans? I don't get it. This is a I don't I'm I I need to ask my son and ask him um what is this a license that I should be familiar with? I know nothing about the theme, but the game looks nice. It is. It does look nice. Uh once again though, they left out sound design completely. And I hope one of the developers is watching this because everybody everybody who knows me knows I am a stickler for sound design. This game makes no sounds. It's making mechanical sounds. Yes, but I need I need everything to make sounds. And why don't we focus on sound? Why does sound get so hated? Why do you hate sound? I don't get it. All the mechanical sounds that are built into VPX are great, but you can't crank those up to 100% and then expect your game to be done. The the visuals are beautiful. Now, let me hear some I'm sorry. I always go off on that. Um I normally only see you uh VTubers play this game when sponsored by them. It's fanervicey gotcha game. Uh yeah, it's it's why I hate playing on location because I can't hear the sound in the game. Well, yeah. Sound is probably 50% of what I love. Exactly. Terry, that's why I was saying Terry gets pinball. I don't understand. I just don't get it, you know? I just don't get it. Okay, I'll tell you what, guys. What? Okay. Okay, here here's a great example. Two games, great example. I just played them recently. Dune and Winchester. They have the best audio. I mean, I it's it's it's it's dumb how good the audio is on those games. You you I was at Jordan's and I literally number one, I wanted to turn the lights off to play it and then crank the sound up. It's beautiful. And even if I didn't even know even if I didn't know Jeff Dodson, who I do know, um I I I I never ever want to compliment Jeff. I don't want to compliment Jeff ever. Ever. And that makes me compliment him so much. I hate him. The sound is just insanely good. I would say Barrels has better audio than JJP. I said it. Fight me. Um, sound is something you can enjoy in pinball while just playing. You don't get distracted away from the following from following the ball. Um, and the audio cues tell you everything you need to know without looking at the score. Well, that see Terry, see that? That Terry, that's what I'm talking about, though. the audio cues. I'm not saying give me sound just for sound's sake. I'm saying give me sound for player feedback, right? It's audio cues. It's like if I hit if I hit a lane, I want to know that I hit the lane and and what state the lane was in when I hit it. Was it completed? Was it Did I complete all the rollovers? It's easy to do. It's easy to just just add some sounds. The people the the guys who did this, they're like, "Media is coming. Media is coming." And I'm like, "Okay, shoot here and here." I I look, if I didn't care about this game at all, this game seems really cool. If I didn't care about this game, I wouldn't be giving him crap about it. But this game looks really cool, and I want them to finish it and and like make it awesome. How come I can't beat this guy, though? I keep hitting him, and it doesn't work. Oh, I got to hit that. How do I hit that? I don't even know how to hit that. Y'all need to teach me how to hit that. How do I feed this? It's flashing. I can't hit it, though. How do you hit this? Y'all see it, but I can't hit it. All right, let's try a couple more. I I'm intrigued at this game, though. There's a lot to it. There's a lot going on. Still mostly pirated. Still at top at 1.6. I like the It is a hot day today in San Francisco. I'll tell you that's rare. Ramp points 3x and reward echo 3x. All right, let's do that. Let's do this. Let's do this young lady here. Let's just ramp out. Let's ramp out. Ramp. Nope. I finally got um I don't know if Borg is still here or Pirate or anybody who owns Portal, but I posted on the P3 discord. I finally took the grand champion score in my portal. I finally took the grand champion score on my portal today. Super happy about that cuz boy that game was kicking my butt. But uh over the weekend I was streaming it. I decided to uh decided to play some Portal. I think it was on Saturday and uh Stephen Silver jumped into the chat and told me about how to do all the objectives and portal to increase your test chamber scores. And uh that changed my entire game. How hot was it? What's up, Swizzle? Oh, shush. It's 70°. I It is. But it's San Francisco is just inherently cold. We never leave 50 something degrees. We're always at 50 something degrees. Uhoh. Damn. Let's flip her up just to let it go. If you if you focus, you can do well at this game. I forget which character I chose now, so I don't know what my powerup is. The multiball on this is really hard. You can collect weapons, too, on this. It's kind of cool. 90° unhealthy air quality. Where are you, Swizzle? Swizzle, I I look at my my um look at my Carl Weathers map all the time and like San Francisco is always like 59 and then like Fresno is like 99. Portland. Oh, it's it's Yeah, it would be hot. It would be significantly hotter. I'm somehow intrigued with this game, though. It's pretty cool. Let's pick somebody else now. So, there's these two characters up top, and maybe they're just there because they couldn't fit them on the bottom. Unlimited left kickback character switching and bonus multiply twice as fast. Yeah, we did that. Unlimited left kickback. Let's do unlimited left kickback. I went to Fresno in 1978. Man, I wish I was doing the character that gave me um a boost on the ramps now. Okay. One more. One more for Echo. Echo, I'm in a battle. Oh no. Where's my kickback? Oh, I'm going to be playing this 100 here and just out of hockey practice. 100. You know what? I'm never going to complain about the Carl Weathers ever again. How about that? Ever since I moved Ever since I moved out of New York, I lost all my Carl Weathers cred. Oh man, he also got me down to one ball. I kind of like this. I wish they would add some sounds. So, here's what I want them to do. Add sounds. Um, not much else. I'm going to take a look at this in VR once I'm done with the stream. Hey, if Terry Terry, if you're still around, um, so my second game is is coming in on Friday. So I Terry, I bought a Sonic. I bought a Sonic. What did you What did you think of um Have you gotten to play Sonic yet? You know, Steve Ritchie's Sonic. I'm excited. Yeah, it's my second JJP. I'm excited. Like, I'm pretty sure it's not going to pay for itself as fast as Harry Potter did, but I played it once or twice at Pinball Pirates spot and it's it's pretty fast. It's pretty fast. It looks like it'll play forever, though. Like, a really good player could probably play on that game for a while. So, that's what I mean. That it's not going to pay itself off. That should really make a different sound than just That should make a lot like That should be like That shouldn't be the Why is it I don't know why I'm thinking about Woolhop right now. Why am I thinking about Woolhop? Boom. Maybe it just Oh, we're going to take post Terry. We're going to do a lot. We're taking uh outlane rub post rubbers off. Um uh I don't think making it steep is going to help, but we're taking anything that'll help punish people for wanting to play it. We got to punish the people if they want to play. You can't stage flip on this either. I didn't see a setting for stage flipping. So, once again, if the developers are watching, give me the ability to stage flip. And you know what that is? I don't need to tell you cuz what would have been cool is if I was able to trap here and then still flip up there. Suffer you little shits. You got to pay. I'm not scared of the little guys. I'm scared of the big dudes. I'm scared of the big dudes that will show up. I'm scared of Isaiah and stuff like that that'll play the game for 45 minutes. that's interesting. I've never seen a game give you a ball lock on spinner hits. Oh, I can select a different character right now. And I don't even know who I selected. All right, we got another. This is my second kill. This could be my second kill, you guys. Here we go. Nope. We want to kill him. And dead. Here's my other multiball. I guess this is like a celebration multiball. Celebration multiball. Isaiah, I finally put up a GC on the portal. 32 million. Portal surprisingly gets more interesting the more you know about it. I was able to pull up 32. I was so proud of myself. Oh, and another thing I learned about Portal is that so I didn't know this. If you're a portal person and you want don't want spoilers right now, then don't listen for the next 60 seconds. Don't listen, but I didn't know this. If you want to get to chamber seven, turn off the sound. you don't have to finish or visit all six chambers. You just have to get your spinners up to 400. Once you get 400 spins, chamber 7 opens. I did not know that. So, if you can manage to get 400 spins, good for you. I managed to get 150 in one game. Damn it. That was my safety net. Isaiah asks, "Did you just put Sky as your initials?" No, I put Manu. Of course, I put MPT3K. And then I took a picture and then I showed Skyler and I was like, "Look, kid. I'm still your father. I can still kick your butt in this. Oh, it's my third one. This will be my third kill. Ready? Kill. Nope. This will be my third kill, I think. And boom. Oh. Nice. Thank you for the kickback. Dead. Yes. So, I've killed what? Three guys so far. I don't know. Uhoh. There we go. You got to know when to use that. Oh, I can't stage flip. Oh, that would have been sweet. If I could stage flip up there. Let's hold this back. I think it broke. I think I broke the pup because it's not changing from that scene anymore. I think we broke the pup, you guys. trying to Oh, I got the lock. Yes, we're going to kill this guy while we still have ball save. Hit after hit. Oh, replay. Oh crap. All right, two more hits or three more hits or one more hit. Ready to be dead. Dead. Oh, my hand slipped. Damn, that was fun. So, what did I do? 6 24 113 2.7. Not too bad. Okay, that should have been better. Maybe I did I get an extra ball or something? What's wrong, game? Why am I still in Why am I still Oh, there's a Oh, what's that all about? Echo multiball. I got Echo Multiball, you guys. I'm still playing. Okay. What do I have to hit? I have to hit the echo targets. I see. And they're hard to hit. Let me see. I'm just going to spam it. Spam echo. It's exciting. Are you not entertained for my final stream? Are you not entertained? It's exciting. The score is changing at least in P. Yeah. Okay, it's back. Terry, did you see that? It look Wait, that looked like Persona 5 for a minute. I'm not stopping. I'm going to play this out. Oh, there we go. Sorry, you don't have enough resources to purchase the Oh, I could purchase something. this minion. So, oh, I can move him with the flippers now. Okay. Oh, look at this. I can get him an objective like immediately. Get six moving shots. Sure. Let's take that. Mission pistol. We're in mission pistol. I don't know what I'm doing, guys. I see I see a shot. Oh, this is a timed mode. Okay, there it is. Got it. Okay, where's the next shot? Okay, it's it's it's there again. Whoa. Okay, where'd it go? Damn it. It went over there. Okay, got it. Now what? Where is it again? Again? Nope. Mission failed. Okay. All right, game. You calm down now. This is crazy, you guys. They definitely put a lot of content in this. All right, that ra Why are those ramps flashing, though? They keep flashing. Like, it's telling me to hit the ramp. So, hit the orbit. Nope. Now what? Multiball is lit. Okay, let's post pass. Nope. Okay, here we go. Multiball and multiball. Nope. Okay, let's do it here. Nope. Back here. Nope. I'm telling you guys when I'm saying that shot is hard. Multi. Nope. Multiball. Nope. Here we go. Multiball. Nope. Right there. Nope. I'm telling you kids, that's a hard shot. Oh, now I blocked my shot. There we go. Got it. This gives me a multi. This is good because I raised this this dude up. This gives me a multiball to fight this guy on. I want to hit him as much as I can. Hit him. Hammer. Hit him. Hammer. Here we go. Oh, here we here we Oh crap. Well, that sucked. I want it to die. I want him to die. Hit him from the side. Bam. Let's put it in there. Put it in there. Three, two, one, put it. Three to one. Put it. Oh, this is amazing. The struggle is real. Oh. Here we go. Oh my god. Just put it inside the thing. There we go. Echo multiball back up. I'm at three, you guys. This The point was to get four, right? Four. It was all about getting the four. I'm doing this today with a bad back, too. I was out all day with with uh with back problems, but it looks like my back problems are gone while I'm playing pinball. Shoot. Whoa. I want that shot there and I missed it. There we go. There's my ramp. My lock is lit again. Oh, you suck. Give me my lock. Lock. I want my lock. Give me my lock. There we go. Boom. 3.6. You guys, I might be getting four, but I don't want to get too too penisy right now. Great shot, kid. Don't get penisy. Anybody who's watched Blue Harvest, you know where that's from. I didn't just make that up. I wonder what my my I'll say my bonus value is at 5x. My bonus value is at 5x right now. That did something and I don't know what it is. Okay, five five values five plus five. Oh, took a couple of games you guys. But I'm in I'm in it. We don't fight Ekko again. Do we want to fight Ekko again? They make you hit him twice now. That's cool. This may only be interesting to me, BUT OH, WHAT WAS THAT? Manu 3.9 4.7 Yes. Pirate Ninja, are you still here? Cuz your name is going up as the GC on Withering Waves 4.7. If you have initials and you're still here, pirate ninja, I'm throwing you on this board. Otherwise, I'm going to put a arr. You've got 15 seconds. I don't think they're here anymore. So, it's going to go to Mostly Pirate. It's going to Oh, no. It's not IRD. No, no, no. Good try, Isaiah. Those are his initials. No, he already told me. Hey, Yes, that's what I'm talking about. All right, I'm happy I went out on a bang. Um, this is now dead. I went out on a high mark, guys.
