## Analysis

Spooky Pinball employees Bug and Luke play Bally Addams Family, a 1992 classic, while discussing pinball design philosophy, game modes, and licensing opportunities. They explore tournament strategies, share anecdotes about gameplay experiences, and take community questions about future Spooky Pinball titles and design direction, including speculation about potential licensed themes like Coraline, Castlevania, and Resident Evil.

### Key Claims

- [HIGH] The center ramp in Addams Family can be spammed repeatedly to achieve extra balls at eleven hits, making it a repeatable tournament strategy. — _Bug explaining strategy: 'one of the boring tournament strategies is Tee'd Off just keep spamming the center ramp until you get extra ball at eleven times. It is repeatable.'_
- [HIGH] Addams Family was released in 1992 and was designed by Pat Lawlor. — _Conversation about game release year: 'When was this made? The 90s.' and later reference to Pat Lawlor as designer_
- [HIGH] Spooky Pinball currently releases one game per year, limiting their ability to produce more titles despite having many potential IP opportunities. — _Luke: 'we're almost limited now Barnyard the fact that we do one release a year because there's so many cool titles that we want Tee'd Off get Tee'd Off. Literally, if we could do four The Games a year, I would freaking love that, man.'_
- [HIGH] Spooky Pinball has two programmers and two animators working on game development. — _Luke explaining production constraints: 'it's just two programmers, two animators'_
- [HIGH] The LCD screen on modern pinball machines has significantly increased design complexity compared to classic machines by requiring 30+ mode UIs to be created. — _Luke: 'The LCD added a lot of work Tee'd Off pinball, like just plain and simple. It added a lot of extra difficulties.'_
- [HIGH] Luke has remodeled a Hard Body pinball machine into a custom theme called Pandemic during COVID, similar to how Spooky's designer treated Firepower 2 with Godzilla theme. — _Bug: 'he remodeled his Hard Body into an original theme called Pandemic, which he made during COVID. So he kind of gave that the Firepower 2 Godzilla treatment like my dad did.'_
- [HIGH] Tournament mode in Addams Family converts physical ball locks into virtual locks. — _Luke explaining: 'Tournament mode turns physical locks into virtual locks. mode.'_
- [MEDIUM] Spooky Pinball is considering licensing properties like Wednesday Addams, Coraline, Castlevania, and Resident Evil for future pinball machines. — _Conversational exploration of IP opportunities with chat suggestions; Luke responds positively to multiple property mentions without official confirmation_

## Transcript

 Yeah, so, without further ado, let's play some pinball, have some fun, hang out. Speaky Squirrel should be back in the chat. Yes, she is. We should be good. So, the Thinghands are going to get to playing some Addams Family. Alright. Also, if this game breaks, it's Dad's fault. Alright, two players. Tour this mansion. Oh, that should have counted. But if you change next week, you can stream Hard Body. Yes. Go to Luke Peters' house, stream. Does he have one currently? Well, I think, so he remodeled his Hard Body into an original theme called Pandemic, which he made during COVID. So he kind of gave that the Firepower 2 Godzilla treatment like my dad did. And it's my favorite dance. I don't know if there's video of it out there. But whenever this mode would come on, when my dad was playing, when Squirrel and I were just real little kids, we would do the Mamushka dance while he was playing. And I wonder if dad has videos of that. I'm sure it's out there and would be fun to see. Mamushka. Oh, yeah, no ball saves in this game. Does a chance we get absolutely pieced up tonight? Does a chance we tour the mansion, like, all the time? We'll find out. Oh, yeah, I'll be touring the mansion, like, constantly. Alright, trading spots, making sure we're still ghostly head figures. Do you put any mods in your games? Oh no! Roasted right away. I hope that's not a hint to how the knives make it. We'll find out. Do we have a tilt tonight? Uh, if it is connected, it might not be by the next game. So Luke, since this is kind of an Addams Family tutorial night for you, one of the boring tournament strategies is to just keep spamming the center ramp until you get extra ball at eleven times. It is repeatable. You have to hit it pretty early on at the right flipper. I'm playing like crap right now because my first game on stream never goes well. So you can just go like, la la la la la, and keep going up there, but not tonight. It doesn't look that repeatable, man. I swear it is. It's what I usually do. Oh yeah, that's another thing. You can start your modes at that right scoop, as well as the left chair. I've got quick multiball lit up to the left there, and I accidentally just started it. Probably one of the greatest mechs. Oh, this is what his hand's doing right now. Probably one of the greatest mechs in pinball history. This game has a few things on it that are some of probably the best in pinball history. Oh man, there is no ball saves on anything. No. Nothing. Yeah, the mini left flipper on the left. I saw that sign trying to keep me out no wild animals specifically for Don's Pinball Podcast oh hey Luke, so here and Gomez will reward you for doing this you see how that swamp is a lock shot you know what we can do on launch let's cheat the system very nice that was good greatest pinball intro or sorry, multiball intro of all time. Ah, this one's a classic. Okay, so we got our super jackpot and regular jackpot lit. Pretty tough to get. Oh my god. So that's the super jackpot. I think my multiball's already over, but I did collect that super jackpot while we were in there. Wow. When was this made? The 90s. Before I was born. A while ago sometime. Before I was born. They were brutal back then, man. We can't let that secret out that I was born in the 2000s. People are going to think I'm a real human. This is when people had to walk uphill and snow five miles to get to school and whatnot. I've been told about it. See if we can do a little better here. Thanks to everybody who tuned in for the Facebook Live when Dad and I were at Universal Studios. It was a really good time. It's the first stream we've missed since we started the regular schedule, so I'm very sorry that we didn't have a Twitch live stream for you guys that day. So 11 times, huh? Please tell me you're joking. You're not a 90s baby? You know. I'm basically 30. For some of us, 9-11 was history. I knew that was coming back. 2,000 on the dot, eh? Alright. You need a polar bear in your house. I do. Mr. Hunter. You can do it. For a great price. Polar bear hunting runs a little bit more than the average pinball machine now. Oh, wait, what do I need to do? Oh, it's a... It's a quick hurry up. I'm sorry that the display camera is kinda right next to the game, so every time I nudge you're gonna see a little motion. I'm kinda burning all the multiballs way too fast right now. 1992. Yeah. When did the first movie come out? Cause I thought the movie came out like that year. Next spooky game, no ball saves. I gotta like refocus here just remember not to talk about like anything it's always hard secret it's always it's always hard have you ever uh to answer the speed running the tour of the mansion question um I what do you call speed running like sitting down and making the objective I'm gonna get tour of the mansion is every game I play I can't say it's always too speedy. I do have extra ball lit, which is nice. Where's that? Same spot as the... Quick multiball. Yep. And the ball lock. Alright, I can work with that. I'm starting to get comfortable. I can feel it. It's coming on. I was going to say the same thing, but... You keep hitting the ramp, it will spot mansions for you as well. Very good strategy. Oh my god, Syndicate is playing pinball. Yeah, that was a weird story. For anybody who didn't watch the Facebook Live, when we were at Universal Studios, this group of kids walk up to me, and they're like, hey man, are you Syndicate? And I was like, I have no idea what that is. And they were like, oh, that's exactly what Syndicate would say. Can I get a picture? I'm a huge fan. And I was just so flattered. I was like, yeah. Sounds good. And they were telling me how much they love my videos and whatnot, and even though I'm not that guy, I did really feel the love. It was fantastic. I appreciated them quite a bit. I don't know if they realize still that I'm not whoever Syndicate is. He's like a Black Ops YouTuber, right? As long as they believe it, that's all that matters, right? I forget, what is the strategy of Raise the Dead? I looked him up, you guys can make points. No kidding. I need to actually look up what he looks like. So I always typically try to avoid shooting the chair from the right flipper. It just seems like it always ends poorly for me. It's a lot better to backhand. There's just a lot of risky shots in this game in general. Yeah, it seems like, I guess when I was playing a little bit before the stream started, it seems like if you get rolling, you can do pretty well. It's a tough start. Yeah. get beat up pretty bad pretty fast as well. Everybody came here to watch me shoot the center ramp all night long. Very nice. I have always... So there's something about Adam's family that I wish was still a thing in pinball, and that is having like 30 modes that are all 20 seconds, and they all just focus on literally one specific thing in the game. So like the hit cousin hit mode is a 20 second mode where you're just trying to hit that one target. That's the whole mode, but you can just keep starting so many modes in this game that it never feels boring and it feels like it uses the whole layout really, really well. And y'all are killing me. I don't know why. Oh yeah, I don't know what she's talking about actually. As per usual with my sister, I'm confused. But I just really love that style of rules in gameplay and I wish it was something that we could do more. Maybe we could. Is that something people would want to see? Would Would you rather see like an Addams Family style rule set in a future game again? Or do we really like the way modes and whatnot are currently formed? That would be neat. It would also be a lot harder now because you have to come up with 30 UIs for all those modes, which is... The LCD added a lot of work to pinball, like just plain and simple. It added a lot of extra difficulties. Like, these were the golden days where you just do this. Current loads are... Oh, we're kind of split 50-50 here. That's pinball. You mean people have different opinions and tastes? How many windows are we through? A little over half it looks like. like. Oh, this mode kicks my ass. We have actually had people suggesting the anime fin before. Only Kaneda, really? We're open to pretty much anything. The magnets on this game are brutal. Shoot. We honestly just enjoy trying out a lot of the new stuff too. Like, even if it's not a theme that's familiar to us, it's still fun to get into it. We got extra ball. Oh, of course you do. What was I about to say? Yeah, I mean, there's so many licenses and themes out there that are not geared towards pinball or per se would not or wouldn't per se be like appealing to the current crowd of pinball consumers but oh man we we would love to do so many licenses out there fight that extra ball dang it i moved it you moved it how did you move it the pop bumpers move what window is uh lit And we only need four more to spot a mansion. Sketchy. Super sketchy. Should lock that ball. Lock that ball. Please? Whoa. Ah. Two. Dang it. So if you roll over light two bear kicks, the ramp counts as two hits. So you can go from 31 to 33. Let's see. The tunnel hunts, those are all the scoops. See that little flick? That was nice. What do we got? Yes! We're really close to touring the mansion. My issue... So, the funny thing with Adam's family is you can just, like, start all these modes and hold on to it and let them time out and still get to the wizard mode, which is, you know, a little lame. I always try to play through the modes no matter what, which has prevented me from getting Tour of the Mansion numerous times. It's like, if I would just play safe, I could totally do it, but then I wouldn't have as much fun. And that's what it's about. Spot it! Nope. Oh, there's a tilt in there. The tilt is set and she's... You're a funny guy. That's rough. Get rekt. That's rough. Oh, no, that was ball three. I was one away from tour the mansion. Oh, man. We're taking that tilt out. All right. We're so taking that out. No, don't do that. Look, darling. Tonight, tilting. Okay, so you got your ball locks lit. I see it. I see it up there. It's a tough shot. I think the bookcase ball lock shot is the toughest shot in the game. You better not. Okay, here we go. Let's go. Kill it! Kill him, Jerry! Oh, you lost it. Oh! Oh, you lit another one. It's okay. Oh, I'm supposed to... The tip in the chat was to ignore the orbits. They're too dangerous. So I naturally hit it right away. Do you set personal goals in what you want to do when playing a game? Yes, I do. Typically, I mean, if I haven't gotten that game's wizard mode, that's what I'm going for. I always like to get to the wizard mode. If I have beaten that game's wizard mode, I like to get the side objectives and just, like, purely focus on getting those. Like, in Scared Stiff, I've really, really, really tried to go after the spinning spider mode that you get when you've collected all of the items on the spider wheel. There's, like, a wizard mode for that. I've never gotten it, but I would really, really love to. So, yeah, typically I'm never just, like, kind of flipping around doing whatever. I just go for one thing. But, you know, if I'm trying to tour the mansion and ball locks are lit and I can go get multiball, I'm going to because, you know, it's fun. I still want to just play the game. That was rough. Imagine a mode where you need to purposefully tilt the machine. You know, we've talked about ideas like that, but we know that the location guys are going to have our head. If we put something like that in a game, like you're trying to get people to tilt this thing, it could be setting. Perhaps. Programmers love settings. They have like 137 settings for each mode. The customers and programmers like their settings. They like the games to be customizable. Alright, we're gonna tour it this time. This game kicks ass. I love this game. When are we starting the Wednesday Addams remake of this? If people want a Wednesday game, I will happily try and get them a Wednesday game. Go, man. I'm a fan of the Jenna Ortega. And Tim Burton. I thought she was actually your girlfriend. In another life. No tilt? Okay, cool. Shit. Dang it. Get rekt. I deserve that. Is there an event in October for Spooky Pinball? Yes. There should be. We'll be at Pinball... Oh, Spooky's already answered it. Get that polar bear ramp. Get the extra ball. Where's that? You have to hit the polar bear up to 11 times. I feel you. I'm aware of this. That was a sacrifice. Beautiful save. Had to donate it right back. Yeah, pretty much. Is your neck also starting to itch from this costume? No, it doesn't bother me at all. I have no neck. Yeah. Is where your neck is supposed to be starting to itch from the costume? Okay. It's been so long since I've had a neck, I just don't even remember what it's like to have one. Luke and I have the exact opposite. There's a really funny photo we took when we got these stupid green screen costumes. And we literally are like Abbott and Costello built. Yeah, polar opposite builds. It couldn't be more different. I'm finding the... Oh, I shouldn't have said anything. You could have had that because you could have tipped it off the left lip or two. Someday I'll get all the time. Get good, scrub. That's what we have you for. as he misses the skill shot. I didn't even start a mode last fall. This is the exact same mode I started the first time last time. Oh my goodness. The pop bumpers are a great place to be in that mode, because every switch hit awards points, and it increases in value. I appreciate you making me look good. It's nice. It's very kind of you Did you see the Jason versus Michael Oh, yeah, where they're cutting the snicker bars in the conveyor belt or whatever. Yeah, it was fun How about a giveaway are we ready? Oh Yeah, I was starting to wonder I Thought they're already going on like secretly or something Everybody's like finally The part we come here for. Oh, I lit it. I did it. Go collect the thing. Go hit the thing. Oh, there it is. I'll handle the gameplay. I was gonna say, if you can handle the gameplay on this one... I'm gonna drain now. I give it 10 seconds maybe and I'll drain. What is the strategy off this right scoop? Do you just hold it up and pray or... Yeah, I don't have one. Hope for the best. Expect the worst. I need to light some stuff here. That was nasty. Don't you di- Okay, it's fine. This one will be for some merch. Some general spooky merch it sounds like. Alrighty, here we go! Everybody get ready! Get your Googles ready, get your finger typings ready. No, you can't use Google. Google's cheating. There's nothing I can do to stop you from using it, but I'll be disappointed. And I hope that's enough. Oh, what a waste of an extra ball. That's always what happens. The anticipation's killing us. Oh, boy. It's Wednesday's middle name. Boom. Yeah, that was... Done. Already got it. Everyone had like ten computer monitors up just ready to type it in. All right, don't lie to us, Pinhead. Did you get it? He was too fast. There's no way he Googled that. He answered that so quick. Don't lie to me. Do not lie. There's no way he Googled it. We're going to know if you lie. Next game. Next game. Hey, you're beating me this game. Dude, if I... I've beat you in pinball before a few times. Yeah. Like, there's at least three games where I beat you. It happens. For sure. At least. Probably four. I saw somebody ask if there is a Star Trek or a Twilight Zone. My laptop is sitting on top of a Twilight Zone right now, so... We'll definitely play Twilight Zone. Adam's Family, Twilight Zone are some of my all-time favorites. So I would... I solemnly swear I did not Google. It said Mamushka. It said the Mamushka. Oh, wait, what? How'd you get... I don't know. Codebug? Are you kidding me, Bally? Codebug? Hey, hey, hey. No talking. I got that legit. That was fair and square. My game would never... Look at that. The hand's taking the ball. This doesn't count as a victory now. I would say. I'm blowing this up. I would say, for sure. I don't smell any smoke. It's coming out of my ears right now. There's at least... That hand's got at least two balls down there. He's for sure got two. How many do you got to get in there? Is it in tournament mode? No. Shouldn't be. Maybe. I don't know. I'll be completely honest, for as much as I know about pinball, I don't really know what tournament mode does. Unlike most games. I know they have them, but I've never... There's magnets under there. There's absolutely vicious, brutal, disgusting magnets under there. No, no, no, no, no. Oh, I saved it. Yeah, but you tilted in the front. Get it out of there. Get it out. You do want it. You get it out of there. You're so full of it. I can't. I can't hold it like this. It wasn't an issue. Well, when it happened to you, it was fine. But when it happens to me, that's totally different. My hands are going to be filthy now. Nobody tells Randomness. Dad, that we did this. I don't think it's in tournament mode then. because there was a lot of randomness with those magnets. No, that's just how you play. Oh, okay. I don't remember tilt pops being this hard to take off. There we go. Now we're touring. Tournament mode turns physical locks into virtual locks. I don't think it's in tournament mode. No. Holy cow. Play it. There's so much tech. I know, so much stuff just came up at once. All right. Oh, hang on. Did you get a screenshot of that score with me beating him? It didn't count. It didn't count. It did. You started two modes on top of each other. It doesn't matter that my score was lower than yours on ball three when I drained. I'm going to ask our printing lady to print that out as a canvas for my office. A canvas. We're blowing it up this game. I feel it. I feel it in my bones. Or in my... Only in my hands and skull. Because that's all I have. Or am. Be cool if you hit something, bro. Huzzah! There we go You gotta make noises I say you gotta make the Bruce Lee noises gonna say you gotta make the Bruce Lee noises Oh, we gotta hit because of this. Ah! So, easiest way is... Oh! You're hitting all the things you're not supposed to. Ah. This guy says October has a Friday the 13th. This month, yeah. This October. What day of the week is it on? Tell me it's Thursday. I would love to stream on a Friday the 13th. That would be freaking sweet. We'll definitely play Halloween that day. Even if there isn't a code update. Because why would you not? We should really do that Friday the 13th game sometime. Should we get around to it? Yeah, we should. We got it. There's so many. There's just so many to get to. Guys, there's so many things we're doing right now, and I want to do them all today. Yeah. Oh, my goodness. That's the thing. We're almost limited now by the fact that we do one release a year because there's so many cool titles that we want to get to. Literally, if we could do four games a year, I would freaking love that, man. Like, no! I shook it so hard the coin door opened. So would TCM. So would dot dot dot TCM. Is anybody playing the video game? I've been playing the Daylights out of TCM video game. Score, what'd you do there? You're mad now because you got beat. I'm all flustered. You're mad. I can tell you're mad. You're hurt. I'm not mad. You're hurt and you're afraid. Do it. Was that... You want... Did I hear you want the smoke? No skill shot needed. Scramble it up and light extra ball. Or multiball. My back hurts. What if you check out some of your cheap RPs so you can make... We talk about it all the time. It's just tough. I mean, it's just two programmers, two animators, There's just twice as many setups and teardowns of the line. Yeah, it's technically less work production-wise because you're making less games. It's the same amount of work development-wise on the machine, though. Like, it's... Don't get me wrong, we could do it. I mean, it's... There's just a lot to it. We talk ourselves in circles about it. We've gone... We have sat on an honest, like, oh, yeah, we're doing that, and we're doing it tomorrow, and we've had, like, there's no way we'll ever get to it. and that can be in a week that we go from that. Like, it's so back and forth all the time. It's tough, guys. Without a doubt, there's definitely smaller IPs that have huge potential. Absolutely. Go, man. Yeah. when you're working with such good big ones any advice for people to try to trying to get into the design side that's actually a really i've never thought about that um uh do what you want to do like i guess just probably i mean most of the people that have got into at this point have just made a game and just started dragging around shows right like you know isn't that the thing in almost any hobby that you look at where people say like how do i get started just do it the answer is always just start like yeah something like when people ask Steven King how do i get into writing he goes just write just start writing it doesn't matter like just just start writing directors, like Tarantino says the same thing. He's like, just start filming something. Start putting it together. That's really, I think it's the best advice. Just start doing it. Just simply do. Ask Scott Benisi. That guy knows. Coraline Pinball. Oh my God. My girlfriend would lose her absolute mind if we did that because that's her favorite movie of all time. It scared the daylights out of me growing up and I've rewatched it recently. It's freaking awesome. I'm not familiar with that one. It's, um, you probably remember. It's, um, stop-motion animation. The girl with the yellow rain jacket, blue hair. She's got the creepy other mother. She goes through the door in her house, and she goes into, like, another creepy alternate universe. It's, it would be a killer game. Love Coraline, the other mother. Yes. It would be awesome. I'd be in on a Coraline. Get the Coraline train going for me! Now you've done it. Coraline is creepy. It is. It is. Honestly, I was thinking about this recently. It is the last kids movie that was made that's scary. Because, like, that used to be a thing throughout so long. It's like kids movies always had a little bit of bite to them. Your teeth are green right now. That's because I had a salad before I played. Kids movies always had, like, a little bit of scariness to them. And Coraline's like a recent movie. Yeah, absolutely. It was pretty freaky. For kids. Oh, I thought I had that. No, one down. It's getting scary. Ah, Nightmare Before Christmas. Separated it so I could drain immediately. I think that... Was there a magnet going there? Yeah. Well, no, that's not what drained me, though. My own incompetence is what drained me. We do have multiball restart lit. Just gotta hit it. Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Now we're going. I like it. Wife is nodding her head. Yeah, it's... Coraline, thank you. I'm so happy there's a Coraline audience. That's so cool. I just saw it for the Fathom event in theaters that it was doing. And it was freaking awesome. Double Jackpot! That's how we roll. That's interesting. In the out lane, they have a curved piece of metal to kind of steer the ball. I guess Paul was a ball trap at one point. Oh, yeah. Oh, Jack Danger kind of did that in Foo Fighters, too, to make sure his... Make sure it drains faster. Yeah, so it gets the speed to do that post back. I don't need any help draining fast. Okay, I will. Okay, I will next time. Oh. What, did we lose the stream? Don't say we lost the stream. No, Morgan's trying to get more stuff away. Oh. Here she goes. Who's Morgan? I thought her name was Squirrel. Kidding, it's Morgan. Squirrel's too hard to spell. Oh, I thought we could get in there in the last second. Go, Morgan. Fred Brad Albright says he's toured the Laker studio where they're working on box trolls. I'm sorry, what did you say? Fred Brad Albright says he's toured the studio, I believe, where they did Coraline. I think is what he's still talking about. Oh, my God, yes. That's too cool. Oh, no, no. No. You're not all that good, dude. Sometimes, maybe a little bit, but... Scoreboard! Do you remember saying that in high school? Yeah. When the other team starts talking shit, and you're like, scoreboard! If you're in the lead. It didn't happen to me all that much, because I was terrible at sports. But my friends sure said it a lot. I did a lot of talking, but... You're like Conor McGregor, you've got a broken ankle, and you're still talking smack. Resident Evil. I think that would be one of the better... Oh, God, this mode's dangorous. That's one. Ah, this guy wants Castlevania. I agree. I just got a box set of all the Castlevania games I've been kind of playing through. Dude, those ramp shots are worth a lot. Wait, if it counts for two bear kicks, will it... Oh, no, it won't in that mode. Oh, wow. Yeah, that's 15 minutes. So that's the thing. These short modes that are, like, 20 seconds, they do really reward you for playing, which, like what I was talking about earlier, you don't have to play them, and you can get to the wizard mode, which is super lame, but they do really reward you for it. Oh, yeah, the Castlevania... They're tough. Like, I forgot how tough they are. They're brutal. I love them, though. Say, Luke just bought, like, the fancy-schmancy... Yeah, I was saying that. I bought the whole box set and everything. Deluxe box set. I am a fan. I guess I like brutal video games in general. Rondo of Blood on TC16, if you haven't yet. Hope it's part of the set. I will write that down. TGC here. Okay, I will. Okay. I feel like I've been playing for a while, but I haven't started as many modes as I thought I did. Score looks weak. We got extra ball lit, too. What is the high score on this thing? Like, who's got it? You or you're dead? I do. I think it's like 500-something. I actually thought it would be... Really? Neither of you are over a billion. I don't know. I could see you easily getting a billion on this. I don't know. I haven't lived here in a while, so I don't remember. You haven't lived here in a while? I remember, though. It was... Can we go back to thinking about Coral Care? I will talk Coraline all day. I just read the book, like, recently. Well, I didn't read it. I listened to it. But... There we go. Can we go back to the... Yeah. I'm down. Oh, you almost had it! That would have been so nice. Oh, Saz, you can't take it, will you? Let's get it. My stomach is rumbling. I'm hungry. Come on. They seem to be entertaining themselves in there. Yeah. I gotta snap on cue with my thing hand. I can't see. Does it actually... Man, my teeth really are green. That's awful. I'm not gonna talk anymore. Stream viewership goes up by triple. Internet seems to be holding up since that little mishap at the beginning. Oh, get rekt. Oh. That was nice. I like that. Well played. That was terrible. That really hurt my feelings. Oh, it's ball three, too? Gosh dang it. Yeah, you're done. Well, time to spam the center ramp until we get extra ball. I'll probably catch up. Perhaps it's in here. It is possible. Nah, I gotcha. Alright, center ramp. Meet your not-maker. That was Pat Lawler. Meet your abuser. I don't know. Ugh! Ah! Let's go, baby! Well played, Bing. You're really on the ball. Nine million! Okay, how many kicks, or how many... yeah, kicks, whatever it's called, do we need to get to extra ball? Just so that I can hopefully tour this freaking mansion. Go, man. How many? Oh my gosh. It's not even at 45. How many times am I going to hit this thing? Now might be a good time for a giveaway, Morgan. Or did she just do one? I think she's going to do it for the next game. Gotcha. Which won't be long, the way we're going. Well, the way I'm going. You're doing fine. I'm going to try and get extra balls. I wish that counted towards that. It does not. I think multiball will help. And... No. We need this multiball. You just see my floating head in the background. I can't snap with my left hand, dang it! God, those magnets... They're too evil. I tried to get Charlie to give away his Addams Family on the stream tonight, but he just wasn't on board. He's greedy. Just wouldn't let us give it away. We're like, think of the Twitch fans. He doesn't love you guys like I love you guys. My goodness. There we go. Oh, AJ's in the chat. Spooky AJ! How's the kiddo tonight, AJ? God, I hope he saw that game where I beat you. He would have commented. There's no way. All right. We are keeping her alive, no idea what we are doing. I think the Coindor... I did that just to mess with you. The Coindor, she's done. That wasn't good. Let's just close our eyes. I wanted to see what the high scores were. Can you not cycle through? On Valley? Let me look at the scores! Oh, wow, you can't cycle through. Old school games. Bro, Julio and Angelica Houston. You have to be able to. What? Nope. Here. No, that's not even possible. I don't believe it. I don't think you can cycle through. No cycling on the Amazon. Oh, there it is. Grand champion. It's dad? You're not even winning. He's number two. I'm third? You're third? He's been playing since I moved out. Because when I moved out, this is a huge dick move, it was during the COVID time. and I came down here and I went through every single game and put up a new high score on it before I moved out because I'm an asshole. And I think he's been playing. Well, we're not stopping tonight until we beat it. Too good. Too good. Oh, I got to put you in. I'm sorry. Yeah, don't forget about me. Go, man. I'm so focused now on... Just put up a casual Billy. No problem. I'm actually shocked that neither of you have a billion on this. It should be possible. The game's high scoring. Ah, it didn't work. Occasionally thing flips, just doesn't work. So those darn unreliable Williams games. Those Williams, those Bally Williams games, just they don't hold up. Oh. Yes. Look at that. Alright. multiball! No! Why thank you, babe! Sometimes you can get lucky on a backhand there. I think everybody in the chat is guessing score right now. It's going to be a Billy. If you guessed a billion, I love you personally so much. Judging by the scores that they're guessing, I think they're probably guessing your score, not mine. I was going to say, you need to specify whose score. I guess it could be combined. What did she say? It's probably you. Well, I don't think we should know. I don't think anybody's putting up these guesses for my score. How do you know that? Oh, Luke Peters's guess. He said seven. Like seven million for you? No, no, no. I think he said seven. Like single digits. Seven. That's rude. Oh, they're specifying names now. Just seven. Yeah, he said just seven. Just seven. That's so mean. Now the real challenge is for Morgan to make sure nobody changes their answer. That is tough actually. It's not an easy job running giveaways on these streams. Sorry, I don't know what it's like, I'll be honest. That's not my department. Does that count as a tunnel hunt? No, it doesn't. Dang it. Luke Peters said put me in for player three. Do you think he's actually coming? He could be coming. He's not going to fit in on the green screen, but, I mean, he could come. He can get in my suit with me. With you? It's stretchy. Yeah. Yeah. That's the thing though, you don't know, like he could have been still at work and he's actually going to pop in at any second. That's the thing, he stays at work pretty late so. He could be, maybe he is, maybe he's behind us right now. His wife and kids are going to be like, why didn't you come home to have dinner with us? He'll be like, I was playing pinball. What is that lit for right now? Not lock. Is it for lock? I can't remember. Morgan's cutting off the guesses. She can't keep up. Yeah, she's like, I can't. I can't read all these. Morgan, take a photo of it with your Snapchat or something. I would screenshot all of them. Yeah. Just to verify. This is official. This is important. You know, this is, like, there's NFL and then there's this. Ugh! Dama Mushka! Dama Mushka! I really would like to shoot it into the pop bumpers now, because it'll score a boatload of points. Dang it. Oh, if I lock a ball, I can. Quickly! Quickly! Only ten seconds. That's not much. Pause the timer. Yes! Okay. We're launching straight into those pups. Ah, I see. You're gonna launch the next ball into it. I think it should work that way, right? In my mind. There it is. That probably did something for me. Yeah, I think it must have helped a little. You had a ten million point mamushka. Sorry if our faces look so weird because of the green screen stuff, we're just... You look like a zombie. We're goofballs. We did this with like zero preparation. No, we have no idea what we're doing. 34 minutes before the stream started, so. Goodness me. Oh, Morgan's calling it. Alrighty, I'm calling it. No more guesses. She can't keep up. That is a lot. There's so many guesses. Is that 3 billion? How much is that one? That one can't even... No. No that 367 million Are you sure Yeah it million It looked like a lot more numbers Nah it not One two three four five six No that 367 million for sure 22. 23. Sometimes you just don't get enough sauce on it. Dude, my stomach is... It's basically that polar bear on the center ramp right now. It's just like, oh, feed me. I'm so hungry. You should have ordered pizza. I should have. I hear dogs barking. I think Luke Peters is here. Someone's here. It could be your dad, too. It could be my old man, yeah. You're old, man. Are you calling him old? Dude, he was born in the 1900s. Oh, wow. It's crazy, right? Oh, this mode is brutal. Risky stuff. That block. I don't think Dad's dogs would bark at him this much. No, it can't be. It's gotta be Luke Peters. Is he still, like, randomly? If they can both join in, we're still in ball one. Nah. No way. It's going to be like the neighbor. It is Luke Peters! Ah, Luke Peters! Welcome. I got to make sure. I think I just put him in. Yeah. I just got you in. I think you're in the game. I got to get him a mic set up. I told everyone you got to get in. Here, hold my ball. Don't mess this up. Hold my ball. Just hold it. I'll get you set up with a mic real quick. Oh, man. It's delayed. I didn't notice. Yeah. You kind of look ghostly, honestly. You guys do. But, yeah, it's very... I don't know. Your green screen is setting us up. It's the zombie filter. The zombie filter? Mm-hmm. Here. Hook this up to yourself. Got it. You should be locked in, though. Oh, God. You've got to get a billion now, Corwin. Somebody said a billion? AJ said if he gets a billion, I'll give free tech support for life to the winner. And that's just good for the company, really. That's good PR, yeah. Morgan said think he knows how much pressure he's under. There must be something decent on the line here. I actually don't know. I don't either. What's going on? Oh. I'll try not to cough too much on camera. Oh, that's right. You're sick. But he's not contagious. But not contagious. I was told. Oh. I just want the ramp. I'm probably going to embarrass myself on this game, unfortunately. I'm just hoping. Have you not played it much? I, so, when I used to manage at a resort, we had two pinball machines, and they were Twilight Zone and Addams Family, but that was, oh, about 15 years ago, and I think that's not the last time I played. Seriously? On an Addams? Yeah. Oh my goodness. I spent the last 15 years playing this game. Twilight Zone, on the other hand. Oh, yeah. I do own it. Maybe you'll have to join in on that stream when we get around to playing that game. Because I get beat up pretty bad by Twilight Zone. Honestly, the last time I played it here, your dad got to... Lost in the Zone? Lost in the Zone. I've gotten there a few times. It's hard. I've never beaten it. Just a casual one game. The ramps on Twilight Zone are mean. They can be. You really have to... That's a game you have to really dial in. I'm just a cemetery. The ramps on Twilight Zone are mean. They can be. That's a game you have to really dial in. I actually added a magnet to that little drop ramp, or catch ramp that drops the ball back to the mini flipper. Just a little one that really helps that behave. It didn't hit a single pop bumper when I did that. Absolutely insane on Twilight Zone, yeah. I have no idea if you're even visible on the camera. Oh, you're kind of visible. Yeah, he's ghostly back there. Thank God you were green today. It looks good No, no Not said yeah, actually we threw it in the garbage I threw it at Luke It's in my pocket This mode isn't Trying to think of exceptions I mean, some are really tucked away in the back, so there's only a handful with the pops really exposed like that. Oh, sneak in there. Some have that classic, you know, three in the back. There's really no way for the ball to come out. We've got one more mode until we are touring the mansion. That was ball one, and I should have two extra balls, so I'm hoping we can start tour the mansion this game. You're getting it together. You're getting it together. Oh, DJ wants to go color DMD. He's going to be in there just plugging the color game in every chat. I'm surprised DJ's not here. Alright. Dylan, drive over here. Right now. Oh man. It's going to be a late night. Dylan's on scene. I gotta go to Madison tomorrow to work with Ben and... What are you working on? We're in Charlie's basement, Dylan. Why the Sam's Up I was just working on? Coraline pinball, actually. Yeah, probably exactly what you were working on before you came over. Go, man. Okay. I'm far too intoxicated. That's an honest man. You live in town. Just walk. I'd pick him up, but I think he would maybe reveal something. Oh, yeah, that's true. Anyway, so how's progress on blank? Close the computer, Dylan. Get out of here. Get out of the chat. Please, Dylan, close the computer. I'm not going to lie. I'm always terrified I'm going to say something. It's so scary. It happens to me every time we go anywhere. I just... You have to, like, recalculate your whole... You have, like, a split personality or something. Oh, my goodness. Spooky DJ gets drunk on stream. Reveals next 12 spooky games. And that is why I never drink on camera. Oh, God. Oh, man. I'm scared, guys. Oh, he's designing circuit boards. Oh, that's good. I could see where that would be. He's hammered designing circuit boards. That makes sense. How much time do you have to spend undoing that in the morning? Dylan, don't answer questions in there. Dylan, we're not answering questions right now, okay buddy? Don't answer things! Oh. Everybody knows they can try and get something out of him right now. Yeah, exactly. They're like, hey, hey DJ! What you up to? Hey guy! All of a sudden Dylan has a ton of best buddies. DJ, we've always been close. And bottles of booze. Yeah, right? Being sense. How do I get somebody drunk through their laptop? Jay says, Doom, working on Doom. That's right, Doom. If you can get Dylan started on Doom, that's all he'll say for the next three days. Great. That's just what we need on pin side. Oh my god, that's why you don't shoot that with the right flipper. I told you not to do that. I told me not to do that, and then I did it. Get out. You're uninvited. Don't touch yourself. Okay, now... Go, man. What was that? What? Did we hear something? I don't know. There was a noise behind us. Oh, scary. I thought it was like Dylan crawling out from under a machine or something. Ha ha! I've been here the whole time. Not the strangest place I've found Dylan before. Dylan before I was gonna say that would not surprise me I don't know how to get the ball over there to my left flip can you post pass sure we're touring this mansion I've never actually beaten tour the mansion started it like a lot so So it's going to start working its way through all the modes in the game, one after the other, just automatically starting them. You just have to survive. So that's extra ball. I just have to not drain, which is insanely difficult. Me and Luke, we'll play later. If you beat it on one ball... This is technically ball two. Well. Dang. Like I said, I started it, and I never beat it. What did you do? Started it, and I didn't beat it. Dang it! Let's just start it again. You just really didn't have your legs underneath yet. I'm taking this stupid suit off. This guy commented back to Coraline. Back to Coraline! No! So I generally have that one-track mind, but it's with just pinball, you know, in normal conversations when most people don't care. Okay, well we might as well try to get back to the mansion. We got two extra balls, it's still ball one. Yeah, plenty of time to get back to the mansion. I think so. You're going for the high score, aren't you? Yeah. Yeah. This aggression will not stand, man. We need super jackpots. I thought I wasn't contagious. We're already both sick. I sneezed once. He's definitely sick. Yeah, I couldn't beat Tour of the Mansion because Luke Peters got me sick. You did look rough this week. This week was very, very rough. It's getting slightly better since I got on some activity medicine. Yeah, if you were there, I probably would have been. Restart that multiball, because we're bad at pinball. Oh, I really wanted that. wanted that. Oh my god, straight out the out lane, really dude? Dang it. We did nothing with that multiball. Yeah, that magnet beat you up. Multiball does not seem to be a real good, like, it's not a saving grace in this game. I got it. Coin door just came open. These are now on the floor. Shucks. Shucks. Shucks. Dang, guys. Dang, guys. Oh, you drained? Yeah, dude. Change your mind. Okay, you're up. Oh, wow, I get to play? This is awesome. We'll show you how actual pinball works. Here we go. Lay it on me, stick. I don't even want to plunge the ball now. Do I have to? Alright. Here we go. That's not what I would have done. I know. Alright. Right to tour the mansion. Here we go. What are you trying to do to get... It upsets me. You're making me feel good. It upsets me. We're just here to make you look good. watching a fresh your face is greened out your face is greened out yeah you're just trying to distract me no seriously look at it i saw it no like look look again it got worse yeah we're gonna have to put you down dude i'm pretty sure you're a zombie I can turn the green screen off if we're done with it. No, I like it. Okay. That seems like that should be good. Hit Cousin It. AJ's coming after me again. Hit the Cousin It blinking shot. Hit it. That's lower. Is that it? Yeah. That was It. Dude, that sound effect when it hits Cousin It is actually super satisfying. That's nice. Like, that thunking noise. Please hit it again. Why are the sound effects so good in these old games? It's so good. It's so crazy, because, like, the speakers are literally not as good. Like, the technology is not as good, and it literally works in its favor. Like, it just sounds better than anything you can make now. It's crazy. We're going to put worse speakers in the games. Yes. We're going to do worse quality displays and speakers so that our games can sound better. because pinball be pinball, man. Have Chat tell me what to shoot for, because I really don't know. Your little ghostly dome is perfectly positioned up in the corner right now. Return of the dead heads. Oh, that's not it. That was close. Can you backhand it? You can backhand it. It's really hard. It looks hard. Floating heads. I need some pomade, man. Oh, come on. I was just there. Oh, yeah, you were, weren't you? I literally was just there, yeah. I'd like to see that again. I'm still in a crazy pirate mood right now. Oh, not right now. I went to Magic. I literally went to Magic Kingdom, and we only rode Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean because we're bad people. There's this, like, billion-dollar park around us, and we were like, let's do those rides only. I'm tempted to death save, but I won't for the sake of the camera. You can't death save on this. Oh. That was confident. He's going to drain just the death save now. Well, time to see if I can death save. False. Keep the ball above the flippers. That's generally good advice. We've got to be close to getting an extra ball at the center ramp, right? Yeah, two more. No, I wanted that one. You definitely need another extra ball. We're trying to take down the old man's high score. I think you could get there. You're going to have to play more like you and less like me. Wait, if I didn't specify the player for my score, can I still count? We're just messing up the whole giveaway right now. Guys, the giveaway was for Luke Peters' score. So, enter your new... I still got my vote in. Luke already surpassed my score. What? 7-0-8. Oh, I was going to say. I played for like three seconds, dude. You're over 7. If that game was a bull ride, I still would have lost. You're not wrong. It's there. A little more forward. It's there. Bug broke the leg off of Adam Family. Dad, I broke a game. How do you get these extra balls? You just keep spamming the center ramp. Keep shooting the center ramp. You can get extra ball from the house windows. And I think if you just get a high enough score, it lights it as well. Simply play better, dude. Start working our way back. Oh. He said, bug buddy pal, I need you to put up 150 million and not one point more. Didn't you already win tonight? What's wrong with winning twice? Nothing, I guess. I don't know, we may need to specify. Looking good here. Dang it. Winners are a winner, man. Double champ does what the... He wants. Oh. Man. Go, man. I'm coughing in the mic, man. I know. I apologize to you, chat. I apologize to the internet. The zombie flag thing. He won't recover. He's not getting better. It's also not going to kill him, though. He's just like this now. Oh, this freaking mode. I've been sleeping on the couch the last four nights so my wife can actually sleep. Also, she's really pissed at you. Yeah, she's pissed at me for being sick. She hates it when I'm sick. Oh! Hey, it did that code bug! Again, where it spots two of them. Which of course makes the whole game void, as we established earlier. I think that means that I'm safe. Oh, that was brutal. It's there. Dang it. I'm falling apart. Does it still count as a high score if you death save? Yeah, I don't care. All right. We're going to do it again. Do the thing again. Here we go. Put my Jack Danger face on. Wasn't there a limited gold-plated The Addams Family? I think so. How am I getting burnt this bad? Sounds right. How? I quit. Don't let me forget to pay you for throwing all the games tonight. Does this all count? Jackpot. I see it. Too hard. Nah, it's alright. Oh, you should have soft plunged. It would have locked it for you. That's what I actually tried to do. Oh. Go, man. I gotta score a lot higher. They said don't drain last time. That's the trick. I gotta score higher. All I'm gonna do is knock myself off the board. Alright. Nobody wants that. I'm taking the suit off. I need my legs. You're giving up on the green screen? Me too. I'm done with this thing. Don't forget your microphone is connected. I got it. We got it. We're good. Hey, you got multiball. Multiball? What's that? Oh, that's where the ball comes out. Man! Wow. I hope there's a ball save. Is there no ball save? Oh look, we cured your zombie illness! You're a regular human again. There really is no ball save, huh? No ball saves, no. That is unfortunate. You're a regular boy, Pinocchio. Yay. I've actually seen that movie. People get to see our sexy, sexy green suits now. There's no auto-plunger, so that's why there's no ball sink. You know what, AJ? You just calm down in there in your chat. Now hit the ramp. You just calm it down. Double. Super jackpot. It's lower. Oh, wait, no. You gotta go and hit the vault again to relight it. Okay. Oh, gosh. Don't do that. That's the same thing happening at the multiball start. I didn't know the balls were coming from there. If you hit the chair, you can light extra ball as well. Okay. I'll do that. That's gotta be a backhand, right? Oh, yeah. It's backhand city. There you go. Extra ball's gonna be lit. I see it. Extra ball! Up there. Nice I have that shot down there I don't have that crossing ramp shot down I should just keep doing that Three more Three more? Yep Oh, hey, Luke Yeah That thing I'm doing in Madison tomorrow Don't let me forget I need those things to take up to Madison. Yeah, that means I have to get up in the morning at a reasonable time. I'm sorry. I'm going to do it, though. I'll meet you at the shop at 8 o'clock. I can make that happen. I appreciate it. Come on. Or you could just do it tonight, and then you can sleep in. I'm actually pretty tired after that long game that I just played. So we've got time. Oh, boy. I forgot to turn my phone down. Oh boy, almost. You got another extra ball lit. You got two extra balls piled up. Well, not so you said just hit that ramp over and over and over. Ha ha. Where Where Alright, that's boring. I'm done shooting that. It's not. It's a fun ramp. We gotta go find something else. Alright, that looks more fun. Oh, no. Rope is getting scratchy. Ooh, she's there. Oh, that's extra ball. holy shit no we're making Wednesday Adams it's different totally different yeah it's technically not a remake I suppose well no if you make a whole nah that's still a remake I'm wrong I was wrong I said that I'm editing that out I don't know dude that's on camera now so you're gonna probably yeah but you were wrong too yeah I get to watch myself with the delay. From the MTM movie? I don't even know if that'd be better. Oh, you're talking like the most recent animated films? There has to be a polar bear man. That's my... It has to be. I think there has to be a thing. Yeah, probably. Okay, so we're just remaking this game. Got it. Yes. And a fester scoop. Can we have an electric chair? Yeah. A fester scoop. So far, our super creative ideas are a polar bear. This is about how our game designs start, honestly. We all sit in a room and we're like, what if there was an orbit and a ramp next to it? Genius. And then we're like, guys, that's not spooky enough. We've got to make this weird. All right, I got to find this. Yeah, we're just going to play different games occasionally just to spice it up a little bit. We'll still talk about spooky pinball things and whatever. The one rule is the game always has to be spooky in some way, to an extent, which I can really stretch it. Hard body? Hard body. We actually did get requests to play hard body. Yes. I love that person, whoever he is. Was it me? No, it was a different person besides you. Is your hard body still hard body or is it you ruined your hard body? I ruined my hard body. You are the worst hard body fan of all time. You're also the biggest hard body fan of all time, so. I owned a hard body and a BMX at the same time. You're basically the Stan of hard body. Black Belt wants Haunted House. We don't have a Haunted House. Dude. We don't have access to a Haunted House. We would love to get access to a Haunted House. Can I get a company expense and buy a Haunted House? Yeah, right? That's it, guys. To put in my house to stream? It's a business expense. We gotta buy it. Luke, I gotta use the company credit card to buy this game. It seems logical to me, man. I don't see what else we could do. Somebody sell us a Haunted House. Somebody, please. I will play Haunted House all the time. Or another hard body. What do we got? AnnaFaze says you could definitely write that off. I don't know if you're an accountant, but you're hired. Yeah. Are you looking for an accountant position? Look, darling. Yay. Let's get some jackpots. We've got to go after the score. I'm guessing my wife is wondering where I'm at. Yep. I'll be home soon. I'm in trouble. You're in trouble. You're still at work? Yes. Are you in the chat? Of sorts. I thought she was in the chat. I was like, that's awesome. She's coming through Twitch. I'll put her in player four. Light it? My funny-ish Twitch story. So I play Sheepshead is Wisconsin Cards game that I was playing during the pandemic with some of my friends online. And we were joking around that we should start an OnlyFans stream of our Sheepshead game, which absolutely no one would have watched but we thought it would be really funny and then my wife was like oh like OnlyFans you watch that all the time what? she's like yeah you watch people play chess and people play video games and pinball sometimes and I'm like that is not OnlyFans and please do not tell people that she's been walking around telling people that's actually Twitch honey She's been walking around, my husband, he loves OnlyFans. Oh, jeez. I'm not going to read that one. No, I can't post it. Burn the computer. There goes my score. Where are we at here? I'm really trying to milk this rollback a long time in chat to find those scores again. That's Morgan's job. Poor Morgan. This is the worst contest group. Dessert website, only flans. Did Morgan just, like, leave? Did she just quit? I haven't seen her in the chat in forever. She's like, you know what? This isn't worth it. I'm out of here. Just email me. Yeah. There is a quite funny channel called Only Pans, when it's a girl that does cooking videos. I don't know. She's still not saying anything. She might be gone. Oh, no. Morgan, can you check in? You guys are just going to have to find the winner amongst yourselves, and then you just tell us who it is. Oh, she's there. Somebody who is very honest. She's there. I see it. She's in the chat. You know, I feel like our people would. They would select the actual winner. They're honorable people. I think so. Okay. Okay, we need to light extra ball. Oh, Black Belt's gotta go. No! You can't. Not allowed. Oh, please, dude. Oh no, it moved it! God dang it. I need to find a way to get to the pops so I can get back to extra ball being lit. The pops are extra ball? It moves around the mansion window. That's lit. Oh, okay. Oh, boy. I'm getting some intel in here. You can't look at the chat. I'm blocking the chat. You can't look at it. We got some interesting score stuff going on. Yes. Okay. It's looking good. You got any extra balls right now? I'm trying to. Two mansions and it spots it. Yep. Oh, God. Or two ramps and it spots it. You can do it. There it is. I believe in you. Do the Bruce Lee yell again. I'm always torn on colored DMDs. Obviously, this isn't my game, but... There it is. Got it? It's opening a can of worms, so once I start... Oh, did I get it? Like, fine wine. I hit it too soon. No! Oh, who coded this thing? Please, please, please! Yes! Oh, man. What's up? You are coming in at an interesting time. Yeah, wow. What a wild ride this has been. You missed a lot. Just Luke Peters's story alone. Yeah. I just hope your wife doesn't type that in on Google. I really hope she told people. She's a teacher telling all her students. Yeah, all of her students that her husband watches. Oh, gosh. Yeah, my husband watches all that old stuff all the time. It's constantly on his computer. Keep her going. We don't have any multivolves left either, so... Dang it. You just shattered Chris Cable's dreams, Corwin. What? You must have surpassed his score. I'm sorry, man. Yeah, you can't count. My hands are shaking. You can't count Bug out of these games. He's actually surprisingly good. I tell him he sucks every day, but he doesn't really listen. It really does. He's really good for Iowa. I gotta admit, he's actually pretty good. Oh, I forgot that spots it. Yes. Okay. Okay. I need to get to the pop bumpers for this mode. I believe in you. So question for chat, what is the greatest pop bumper mode specific in pinball? Oh, that's interesting. So like a mode where you are focused on hitting pop bumpers. See, you should be in the chat in these, like with the questions like that all the time. Well, I usually am. So he's usually in the chat. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, not on the mic though. I know. I understand. You're in the tiger. You're crowding my space. Yeah. You know how they say people don't have a TV face, but a voice for, or a radio voice? You're neither. You've got to be a TV face. Not a fan of Pops, hard to pick. The only one that came to mind for me was the original Data East, where you've got to save Timmy by hitting the Pops to get him off the electrical fence. I'm sure there's better ones out there. And Ned said you're channeling something primal right now, knowing you've got to beat your dad's score. Oh, jeez. He gave me a heart attack. Get it together. You think you're scared? You think you're scared right now? That will fail me. You shut up! I'm so scared! Oh! I got extra ball. Oh, this could go south so quick. If I hit the scoop, I get 50 million. What? So I just need to hit the scoop. Clearly. I just need to hit the scoop. Oh, please. We really need you to hit the scoop right now. No pressure, though. Take that, Charlie! Wow! Wow! He has no idea you're competing with the poor guy right now. He has no idea what's going on in his basement! He's like, what the hell? He's like, what the hell? He's eating a nice dinner, and you're just like, you are out for blood. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Extra ball! Oh, you got extra ball! Guys, the game is not over. It's not over. Like, either of the loops could still pull this out. Yeah. You know, Charlie still has a chance. Oh, no. I'm not putting him in for player four. Yeah. He shows up, comes up. Oh, my God. You're for sure over the score now, right? Yes. The highest was 736. Oh, I thought it was 760-something. I hope not. I think it was 760-something. I don't think so. Did I not pass it? Oh, you better have. Oh, Lord. Now I'm scared. Well, yeah. What's the high score? I think I passed it. I thought it was 767. Who remembers? Does anybody remember? Does anybody remember what the high score was? We have a crisis. Let's just enter the menu and we'll find out. Oh, yeah. I passed it. I passed it. Oh, geez. You're over 800. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. You thought your games were safe, old man. See, you can get a billion. Yeah, definitely. Didn't AJ put some on the line? for a billion? Yeah, he said 768 or something. I think it was 767. I'm pretty sure. I wonder who had the highest guess. Uh... I doubt anybody guessed 800 or more. We might have a winner for the competition. Yeah. Yeah, Jobber. Nice. Jobber got it. So whoever had the most confidence in you got it. The most supportive person. They deserve to win. You're the best. Love you. Yeah, Jobber had 671 as his guess. Yes. Jobber, you are the man. Thank you for believing in me when Spooky Luke didn't. All right, let's try and get a billion. Get a billion. You gotta get a billion now. You can't just stop. It's actually gonna be pretty hard but we can try. You want your dad to come down here and you've barely beaten him or do you want him to see a billion on that scoreboard? How much was that? A lot. 54 million. That's good stuff. We should do that again. Yeah yeah whatever that was hit that with like all three balls. Oh, that was dangerous. Ah! Thanks. Okay, so we need like a hundred mil. Yeah. How can we go and do that? Honestly, you haven't had an extra ball in like three minutes. It's lit again. Oh, no. After this, it's lit. Yeah. Is there not a menu setting to limit extra balls? Well, no. If you keep touring the mansion, it keeps relighting that window. Get it. You have to get it now. Come on. It spotted it. Oh, there it is. We're hitting a billion tonight. I think we can do it. We still have to not mess this up. Yeah, I don't really want to play anymore. Oh, my God. What? AJ told everyone, if you get a billion, he's got to do free tech support for life. No, he said if a person guesses a billion. Oh, if a person guesses a billion. He was saying if anybody says a billion or more, he'll offer free tech support for life. Oh, no, they're saying Jaybird is the winner. Interesting. I didn't know that. Okay. After further review. After further review. Oh, my God, we had a whole controversy and I missed it. Yeah, wait, what? Apparently, Jay Bird actually guessed higher after further review, it sounds like. Who says you can't take it with you? Ah, AJ said just to. To the winner. Ah, gotcha. If he gets a billion. So I still have to get a billion. AJ's blowing up my phone right now. He's like, dude, drain the bowl. He's going to come in here and tackle you. Yeah. That'd be great. People just keep showing up, you know. Dylan's probably walking here right now. He's probably almost here. I always fail on the third one for some reason. Yeah, so far you just haven't been really looking sharp this game. Try and get a multiball lit so we can go for a Billy. You can do it. I gotta get a multiball lit for it and I know it. Hmm. Dylan got sidetracked by a cool looking snake God it is ruthless Him and Jupiter are fighting over it now Or a dog Yeah Dylan has like what 12 or 13 dogs now 16 Most of our programmers actually have cats But Dylan is taking a different approach. God, we're close, guys. I'm working for you. So is Jaybird one? I believe Jaybird is the winner. Okay. I'm working on it, man. I'm trying to get you some tech support here. I'm waiting for further review and clarification on the chat end. I'm working on it, man. Oh, Jaybird's still here. Yes, good deal. Well, we're glad you're here. So I should be able to just put it right here. Nah, they're making me go back to the bookcase naturally. Yep, Jaybird. Jaybird had the highest score. Jaybird must have went with... What was Jaybird's actual guess? Was it a billion? Exactly. No, I think he had the six on the... Okay. They just had the names. Oh, they just had the names. I think so. Sweet. make it so those ramp fails scare the hell out of me so I'm doing them yeah those you're so much trouble in the morning I gotta get there still our chat That must be kind of fairly delayed, like at least a couple minutes or something. I tried Jay, I'm so sorry. No! What did I, well, we got a bonus. What were you thinking? We got a bonus. I don't know what I was at. Oh, there's quite a bit there. That was quite a bit. 33. That's a decent bonus. Will it be a billion? We're gonna find out. Who wants to be a billionaire today? Oh, it's a billion! It's a billion! Yes! Yes! Jay, we did it! A billion and five. It can't even show the one. It can't. The screen can't show the one. That's amazing. So really now you're in second place. You've got to take a picture of that. You'll need it. My phone's there if you want. I can get it. You get it. It's your ball, though. You've got to play. Oh, it's my ball? I don't know if I want to play. I'll just take a picture of your score. You can catch them with those zeros at the end. Roll the DMD. That's true. Technically, right now, you only have five million points. So, yeah. It'll recognize I'm the highest scorer, right? I'm sure. I would hope so. I hope so. It better. This could be good. If not, I'm coming back to play a game that's worth exactly 800. Has anyone else ever got a billion before? So I think the interesting thing is that... And what will it do? Alright. Does it only not display it on a multiplayer game? You're... I did that a little bit. Come on, man. I'm like... Yeah. You... Yeah, I'm publishing this video for YouTube. I cannot hit that. What is it? That secret shot back there. What is that called? That's taking this suit the rest of the way off. Oh, you only have... I'm going to wear this thing to tournaments, though. Yeah, that's your lucky suit. Yeah, no kidding. Luke's killing it. Which one? Hey, he's not having... Luke Peters is not having a bad game. For not having played the game in, I swear it's been over at least ten years. What do you got going right now? I have no idea. I want to hit that... the secret shot. No, I want that shot. The secret one down there. No. Hey! What's it gonna do? I imagine it'll just show what it said there. Like that it's rolled over. Or no, they probably have space for it here. Yeah, 1.5. Yeah, it's got space. Sure does. We did it, folks. We made it. We didn't tour the mansion at all. But we did destroy Dad's high score. That's what these this series should be called. Let's play other games. It's just destroying anything that my dad has a high score left on Hard body to her Coraline. Oh, oh dad just got home. Oh, man. Early is her nobody tell you have something to tell him Oh, I feel like I pooped on his table But you already did the art for I was asking what art would you like to do like next Next art piece that you're working on pinball wise see I agree I do like the short break that you get since the balls aren't staged. I can trap things up during multiball. It gives me a second to shoot my next shot. I've said it before with how long our mode intros are also in a lot of our games. Now, I like long breaks in pinball. I like to be able to stop, wipe my sweaty freaking hands down, get a drink of water, which I'm kind of looking for right now. I've lost it. But I do like the pauses in gameplay. But I understand some people really want it. When there's nothing to shoot, we have sped it up as quick as possible, but it's also very, very important to make sure it doesn't lose track down there as well. Oh, man. Oh, geez. I've got it. Someone's going to be upset. Somebody broke into my house and played my pinballs. I've got explaining to do to you. Here, get on camera. You're not on camera. You're not on camera. You've got to speak over. You broke my game. So when we started the game, we did a giveaway that was like highest score or whatever will win a prize, and we noticed that your high score was 756 million. And I came in and they asked, Bug, do you have the high score in this? And I was like, yeah, definitely. I think it's in the 500s. Turns out you had high score number one and two. So I went ahead and put a billion on it. You think you can beat me, huh? I went ahead and put a billion on it. And it's the new grand champion, so. Oh, look. What? Wow. so you're not invited anymore sorry for the first stream being in your house that we did that hey look it doesn't even roll over to a billion it says zero zero zero so technically i'm still grand champion well no so when it gets to the grand champion part on the dmd it does show you that it is a billion he was screaming is that all you got old man at the top of his lungs the whole time you shouldn't watch the footage the footage doesn't paint it in the best light i said some regretful things. It's his competitive spirit. I was really feeling it. I was really feeling it. Your mother raised you wrong. You know it. That's the problem. Yeah. It says 0-0-5. Thanks for letting us come in and stream in your house and wreck your game.
