## Analysis

Manu from Mystery Pinball Theater 3000 streams gameplay of Strange Science (Bally 1986) VPX while discussing Sinden light gun setup, configuration challenges, and community streaming improvements. The stream meanders through technical topics including arcade emulation, LED lighting, and VPin hardware, interspersed with gameplay commentary and chat interaction.

### Key Claims

- [HIGH] Strange Science is broken for tournament play because you can load the Atom Smasher with four balls at 12x multiplier, making scores insane — _Speaker directly states tournament organizers will never put it in tournament because 'it's broken'_
- [HIGH] Sinden light guns have no plug-and-play setup and require wiki navigation, software configuration, black-white border rendering, and Reshade for some games — _Host provides detailed technical breakdown of Sinden setup requirements based on personal experience_
- [HIGH] The host waited over a year to receive Sinden light guns and forgot they had ordered them — _Direct statement: 'I waited over a year and forgot that I actually ordered them'_
- [MEDIUM] Strange Science is harder in VPX than on physical table, particularly the Atom Smasher shot — _Host states 'hitting the atom smasher is easier on an actual table' and notes difficulty achieving even one ball in VPX_
- [MEDIUM] A new light gun system exists that uses four sensors around the screen with components contained in the gun itself, as an alternative to Sinden — _Chat participant mentions seeing a gun with this specification but details are not fully explained_

### Notable Quotes

> — **Manu (host)**, during gameplay
> _Key insight into why Strange Science is unsuitable for competitive play_

> "When you get them out of the box, you will get no instructions. You'll just get the guns. You're directed to go to the wiki, go to the Sinden Light Gun page, download the software. Don't get frustrated. It will work."
> — **Manu (host)**, tech discussion section
> _Practical advice for new Sinden light gun owners managing expectations_

> "I really just want like... can i give you a request... can you do that for me... Elvira's House of Horrors house of horrors... but re-theme it to mystery science theater 3000 can you do that for me"

That's why I use this thing right here. Extravacy. Have I missed much? Light guns work now with V-Pin? When Uncle Toybox was streaming, Uncle Toybox had his Sinden light guns connected to his V-Pin so he could play pinball and then just like pop off like a gangsta. Like right afterwards. I did not get the recoil. No, Hawkeyes. I wish I... I kind of... Yo, when you play these games, Holding the gun for a long time is hard for an old guy like me. Blue Estate is hilarious, but not around the fountain. No, I can only play it single player. Weird Science and Science. Yes, we should do Weird Science. All right, here's what we're doing, guys. Sorry, we're doing... We're doing... We're saying the DMCA can kiss my butt, because we're going to do this. Why would you come to this? Why would you come to this? Why would you come to this phone now? Crappy crap. Hang on. Why would you hijack my thing, man? There we go. And why don't people understand my intentions? There we go. We're going to listen to a little Weird Science. We're going to listen to a little She Blinded Me With Science. Mr. Scoot! Open up this DMCA. Okay, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Open up, wait. Scoot, I got you, I got you, I got you. I got you. Open up, this is a DMCA. Is this a, is this a Masterpiece Pinpane Theater 2999? Sir, you're under arrest for violating code 66432, playing a song from the 80s on your stream. Can you please come, you know, with... Do you have Kelly LeBrock on your mind? Yes, but 80s Kelly LeBrock. Okay. Mr. Scoot, thank you for the... Oh, Mr. Scoot, subscribe to Tier 1 for 8 months. Holy smokes, why are you wasting your money on Manu? How about a nice greasy pork chop served in a dirty ashtray? Quoting the movie note. Mr. Scoot, that is one sending like, huh? Mr. Scoot, I'm going to flex now. Oh, crap. Get that shit out of here. Scoot. I waited over a year and forgot that I actually ordered them. Oh, Bobo, you're gifting subs in the channel again. Bobo, you're a legend. Bobo. Bobo, you're awesome. I heard those suck. You know what's funny, VP Fiends? Three days after they came out, I looked on YouTube and I saw a gun that's actually better than the Zendon light guns. Thank you for the biddies, Try to Tilt. Thank you for the hype train, guys. We haven't even played pinball yet. You will get one eventually. Yes, you will get one. And they are made with the highest of quality. It may frustrate you a little bit setting them up. It may frustrate you a little bit setting them up. But when they work, they work really well. Well, let's see. Joe, better than the send-in is a little tricky. but it's a system thank you for the rate flip tronic it's a system this is a ray that's why the Indiegogo getting those asbestos like Christmas when it arrives and you don't remember what it is. Retro Geek, what's up? What's up, what's up? Others, I have been looking for it. Yeah There another What up Joe There is another gun I need to get my aim tracks for feedback I use my finger pistol in the VR and savings is off the hook. There's another gun out there that uses four sensors around the screen and has everything contained within the gun. So that's nice. use the syndans you have to have software running on your machine which if you don't have a powerful machine you're in trouble but i gotta tell you that main machine right there works fine with the syndan light guns and the software running with two guns and it's running like an i5 it's not but but it's using maim it's not using blue estate or anything like that we gotta play we gotta play guys what's up amiga cammy sorakso uh I want my sentence, yeah. Temporary or enthusiasm, though, because when they come, it's going to be like a three-day period. We have to learn how to use them. I'm not kidding you. It's going to take a while for you to get used to using them. And so good luck. Good luck with that. Let me know if the music is too loud, by the way. I can turn it down. All right. Let's put some credits in this. Running Time Crisis is badass now? Yeah. I'll just relentlessly ask you questions on how to set them up. So this is strange science. B-Mistleplick. This is strange science. I did see someone modify an airsoft gun with sending components. That's pretty cool. And there's a wiki, yes. There's a lot of games you can play. God, I forgot what I was going to say. I lost my train of thought. Anyway, yeah. Fliptronic and Scoot and everybody else who's waiting for the Cinder Lycons. They will be fun. There will be no plug and play. None of that. There is no plug and play. Scoot, I sure hope you can get them working with the mister. I'm not sure if they can. I'm not sure. um i'm not sure it's a v-pin of light guns that's right so uh oh strange science strange science so so this is a game that i saw at cal extreme one year ah that was terrible it is kind of a hot mess Because they will never put it in a tournament because it's got a broken score at 12x. If you could load the Atom Smasher with three balls? Four balls. If you can load the Atom Smasher with four balls, you can get a four ball multiball at 12x. Which is insane. So they will never put it in a tournament. Did I see someone modify it? Yes There's a lot of plug-and-play when it comes to arcade There's not a lot of plug-and-play That's right I still need to figure out what's up with Techno Parrot Arcade emulation The games I found all get flagged for antivirus Well I get a lot of flags for antivirus um bro so the shot you want on this game is there's a lot going on in this game if you play the v-pin and you have magna save buttons the magna save buttons are your lane changers up top see i'm changing lab lab lab those are the magna saves that's how it's defaulted I found that hitting the atom smasher is easier on an actual table. This one, I'm lucky to get one ball in the atom smasher. And if you do have nudge, you're going to use it a lot on this pin. It's called false positives. Yeah, it is. They're false positives. Looks at the project from hell in the other room. A driving cabinet built into the husk of a Spy Hunter 2. Jeez, Lynn. Holy crap. But the arcade games, it's supposed to be handled great. Yeah. So on the send-in, I've gotten... There we go. There's one in the Atom Smasher. So one of the games I got to work, of course, was Blue Estate. That's a Steam game. That's really easy to work with. If you're going to be doing Sinden You're going to be having You're going to have to put a white border up Around your screen They have software that will Render a white border Around your screen So that the light guns can track Otherwise they can't track if they don't see that white border Get around It won't get around Some games don't allow the white border to show. In that case, you need to get a software called Reshade, which allows the white border to show. The reason I'm telling you all this is because when you get them out of the box, you will get no instructions. You'll just get the guns. You're directed to go to the wiki, go to the Send in Light Gun page, download the software. Don't get frustrated. It will work. It will take just getting used to. It takes some calibration and some patience. But everybody who's built a main run a copy for each gun, that's right. Everybody who's done a main box I mean, V-Pinners, you guys you guys won't have trouble because you understand about configuration. Shia! Why does the board have to be white? Well, VB Fiends, it doesn't have to be white. You can change it to whatever color you want. As my mother would say, it could be white, black, or pink with polka dots. She actually said that. She said, I don't care if you're white, black, or pink with polka dots. I said, who have you been hanging out with, Mom? damn it definitely have okay so what i just did was i nanoed the ball into a two ball multiball so now i have i think 2x scoring i think it's 2x no it's it looks like it says 3x scoring i can't stage flip because this is not a it's not a i don't have a double leaf switch plus i think you're supposed to ah crappy crap so there goes my two ball multiball that is a great and adorable saying it is my mom is great and adorable my mom my mom is such a wonderful person that growing up in brooklyn new york in crown heights that's where i grew up uh I wasn't taught I basically wasn't taught Like Race I wasn't really taught race Like Not that you're taught race I guess you learn Or you pick up different people's races But my mom didn't really focus on Who was what Like Is she black? Is she white? Is she whatever So what I By the time I got to fifth grade I uh what the frack was that by the time i got to fifth grade i didn't i didn't actually know different races what they were so when i went to fifth grade my mom said my first day of school i came back home and my mom said how was school i says oh it's good she goes how was your teachers i says oh they're great they're great she says how is your homeroom teacher she's terrific she goes she goes is she is she uh she goes what race is she is she black is she white i guess she was just curious and i just went i i don't know she was a white woman but i didn't i clearly didn't know i was like you're gonna have can i bring a picture you're gonna have to let me know mom i don't know why i don't know why i went into that story let's load the atom smasher again while i shut the f up can't you just run window mode and make windows backdrop white and window a bit smaller depends nail buster it depends on what they wrote some cool software that renders a white border when you press the button on the gun it'll do like a an alpha and render like a white border or whatever border you you decide to set is anybody interested at all in learning how to play this game Or do you want to just talk about the sending guns all day? I talk about the sending guns. I'm happy for that. They're pretty sweet. I want the guns that come with pink and polka dots for show. Our initial prototyping was a stand-up main cabinet. Started downstairs as a two-player. 360, 5'6". Wound up going with an iPac 4. Oh, my God. Lynn, you just build everything, don't you? This stream is looking pretty strange. What's up, Flipstream? What's up, bud? Ugh. So I'm well aware. Did she tell you about Dawes Gingas? Dawes? I... Terry, right over my head, bro. I'm sorry. It's a well-configuration. Yes, these flippers are fat. Flipstein, thank you for the sub at tier three. Holy smokes. What? Jeez. There we go. I'm really trying to get to that atom smasher, guys. I'm really sorry. But the atom smasher is crazy hard. Get up there! all right here's one thing for you guys to know uh someone's beeper's gone off i think yes how do you just put the kiddo to bed oh nice cool gingers redheads oh well i think i think my fifth grade teacher was a redhead i think my t50 we don't talk about hair in public all right let's oh wow that sucked so your goal in this game like i said before is not to screw that shot up wham now i think it's the delay let me try that again wow did you see that save that was sick um all right so tip number one if you like strange in science by hitting the stand-ups the stand-up targets uh so there's three stand-up targets here there's three stand-up targets here if you hit straight though if you every time you hit those you light a strange or science letter once you've lit all of strange science that is your ball saver right here that's your your power your power saver which is this thing right there all right there's tip What's up Dalton? So that's tip number one. Let's see where we can go. Was that the game? That was the game. My high score on this I think is, is it six or is it three? Somebody's always beat me to it. Yeah. do a tap pass dalton i'm starting to think that you're just a bot that says do a tap pass use whiteboard on stream look at that i got a double i got l and a uh as far as far as i know these guys on the sides the bubble bonus the bubble bonus on this table uh are these lanes here and those are in thousands and so when you can collect some bubble bonus that's that adds to your bonus at the end of the at the end of your ball your your end of ball bonus all right so there's another little tip uh did you try that new table i sent you the link for manu i tried i tried both Fiends, are you talking about the Mystery Science Theater 3000 table? Are you talking about the one we watched on Living Arcade Stream? Ah, shoot. Okay, Mystery Science Theater 3000 table. MST3K. Yes. So, here's the interesting thing about me and that table. It looks great. It has a really nice personality. No diss to whoever worked on it, but it's based on Polar something, which is based on Pinball Champ by Zacharia, which is not a table I like. You can tap pass on it. uh it's like the one zacharia table that i'm like uh and i just butter play the playfield the butter butter playfield my butter i thought you meant smooth but i know what you mean it's it's it's a really nice showpiece i really just want like Or yeah, you can tap pass or you can just pass. I really just like the idea of someone out there because I know because here I know you guys are working on like Batman 66 level games now. I know some of y'all are because some of y'all stole my coder. You took my programmer and and you're working on something with my guy because we don't hear from him anymore. so i know you're out there making vp uh batman 66 level tables now can i give you a request elvira house of horrors okay but re-theme it to mystery science theater 3000 can you do that for me polar explorer yeah um i found the first all right so when all right hawkeyes yes okay all Alright, fine. But when you're done, when you're done with with my guy, you just burnt him out. Everybody hates Chris. What Scott Wick working with these I don know Anybody know what Scotty Wick working on I don know I haven heard from Scotty in a while Does anybody know what Scotty Wick is working on? Hi. Hi, Becca. Becca, that was mean. you know what I'm talking about. That was mean today. What you guys did to us today. It was really mean what you guys did to us. And then really awesome. It was mean for about five seconds and then everyone was like oh I want one of those so bad. Scott's working on an Outback themed table. Terry are you serious? Or are you just goofing? He's been hands off for a while. Busy with life and work. So, Axel, you feel me, right? Let's take Elvira's House of Horrors, but re-theme it to Mystery Science Theater 3000. You feel me, right? That's it right there. Probably working on babies. What's up, Technologic? Do you feel personally attacked by our two hours of sizzle? You know what, Becca? I was literally watching your stream while I was setting up for this stream it was the most distracting thing I could have possibly done because I just wanted to watch that stupid little table I wanted to watch that stupid little table forever and I went on eBay and I looked for it and the cheapest one I found if you guys don't know what we're talking about Fliptronic did a stream where they had a Zizzle table. You should look up Zizzle pinball. It was a Pirates of the Caribbean Zizzle table that they got for cheap. I looked it up on eBay. The cheapest one I saw was $300 and it was like plus $200 shipping. $200 shipping? Oh, Flipstream, you had one? Elvira's House of Whores. Do it. Still waiting for a jackass theme table. That's what we aim for, distracting. It's so dumb. Why do I love it so much? Lynn, yeah, Lynn was there. Lynn was there. Owning a Zizzle is close to anyone going to get to own a Deep Root. Oh, that's messed up. We tricked everyone into thinking we got a $20,000 pin when we got a $200 one. Nice. Here's a dime to do a tap pass. I can't do a tap pass on this. Next game, next game. I'll try a tap pass on the next game. I have a good game going right now. 50. Dalton. I got two balls locked in the Atom Smasher. That's the most I've ever gotten. I'm going for three. I'm going for three. Two balls in the Atom Smasher. Going for three. Rack. Damn it. I did a tap pass on the sizzle for you, Dawson. Oh, nice. For real, I had that thought too. I think I would miss the existing Avira table art. Oh, oh, Seraxo. We would make it switchable. We would make it switchable. So the first thing we... I don't say we. Why am I saying we? They would make it switchable. I'm not doing this. Don't think... No. That was a problem that I didn't mean to say we. I meant the people doing it would make the Elvira table first and then make a skin for Mystery Science Theater. There was no reveal here today, people. I'm being 100% honest. I'm not lying. I'm not lying. I can't believe I'm on the ball three and I have two balls locked in the friggin atom smasher I should just grab them so the little pinball so sizzle pimple are the we don't need pimp we have Yes, Bobo. Hey, we're sub-virtual. Welcome to the theater. My name is Manu. Nice to meet you. I hope you're not a bot. Avari uses Manos. Yes, that's right. Manos, the hands of fate, as well as, I think, Plan 9 from Outer Space. I think. Although, MST3K never officially riffed Plan 9. Riff Tracks riffed Plan 9. Right, I think that remember that day you played the big hurt I do that game is awesome I'm having the big hurt right now All right, I think I want to try and get this multiball I Need a safer way to take this shot So here's what I can do right now. I can nano these two balls out and play a three ball multiball. Which is what I'm going to try to do. Let's try it. Smash them. It didn't make it. I don't think you can easily smash. So I got my power on over here. I don't think you can easily smash them No it won't come out So now I got two balls in there I can't smash them out Mom can we have a Pirates of the Pinball POTC Pinball We have POTC Pinball at home I'm not here to hate Ray Thank you Virtual I saw them riff Plan 9 at Bell Court it was awesome Yeah I went to the theater to watch them Riff Plan 9 I laughed so hard That was the worst idea for a pup pack I've ever come up with Keyboard, battery died, so typing slow Oh man, did you see? Master Pancake is riffing the Mario Bros No No That's too easy that's that that's it would seem like it'd be too easy but they're professionals so they know what they're doing that's one let's do another one how can i get the other one got it got both of them look at that guys oh they immediately drain one no but you saw it happen oh that hopped that was weird let's find a place for this ball to go damn it i got an extra ball though oh look at that i got a i got a i got a crack Joe Hill That was lucky I was No there are no credits I was Lucky Lucky I was In a theater watching The Fathom I was watching The Fathom Brackenstead 2 My Hero Brothers Rift We need it This game is too easy This game is not easy Second place Andy Holy smokes If you think Chris Pratt Is going to be You think Chris Pratt Is going to be any better I don't know Yeah but I got into Pinball recently Nice virtual awesome if you're curious of my two faves at my local guardians of the galaxy by cern i love that game it's one of my top five and um spam it It just doesn't make it. What's the other one? What's the other one? Oh my god, virtual. You left two of my favorite games. I'm not kidding. Guardians of the Galaxy and World Poker Tour. So good, those games. So underrated. Well, not Guardians, but World Poker Tour is extremely underrated. I think. Jordan if you're still here you mentioned that you were interested in a junkyard because I was probably going to I was probably going to rent junkyard next I found it interesting that you mentioned a junkyard that was weird Sorry, guys. God diggity. Manna, did you not see that they're making a new Mario Brothers movie with Chris Pratt and Mario... Oh, I think I... Why would they do that? It can't get any worse. I didn't see that. It can't get any worse. I never wanted a pinball machine as much as I do for Godzilla. Yeah, Godzilla looks fun. uh my arcade has custom beautiful art for poker yeah get rid of the get rid of the art on world poker tour and you're you're in you're in good shape you want to buy a junkyard yeah junkyard i think got a bad rap and uh creech told me he's like he's like you know what you should do you should after mando you should uh you should uh you said you said you should rent junkyard after mando and i was like really and he's like he's like give it a couple of plays because i was over his house he's like give it a couple of plays i was like all right and i was like hooked on it i was hooked on it i was like oh my god there's so much to do it looks like there's nothing to do on it but it's freaking fun. I thought that Mario stuff was just a meme. What's my score? So that's 2 million. Not bad. And I got an extra ball. Leptron's been looking for him for years. Junkyard is so much fun. Not so much VPX though. Yeah, I think Junkyard is one of those games you have to have in real life to play. Because that ball just dangling on that chain is just fun. I might just be getting Junkyard next, guys. If it's available. What do you pay for rentals in the U.S.? It depends, really, on the length of time and how much people want the game. Mandalorian was a lot, but it generally goes between maybe $200 a month. It could go up to about $500 a month. It depends on the operator. It depends on the game. And it depends on availability. before the uh damn it did it not make it up there during the pandemic it was a lot easier to get tables pandemics cooled down so tables are out on route now so my uncle runs a junkyard out in the boonies but I don't think it's for sale thank you Jared I don't know why I did that voice uh the big hand on world poker tour is funny as hell yeah i like the concept of assembling things from modes as themes you do you baby i played a lot of junkyard pinball fx3 it's it's a funny one yeah junkyard is junkyard junkyard you guys give it a shot uh i don't know if i actually i don't know if it's like for two months i could deal with it but i think for like a month maybe? Also, the throwback time machine modes are awesome. Yeah, those are good. It is surprisingly deep, but there's like a vast cavernous space. Thank you. Doesn't seem to have any shots. Alright, let's try and do this again. So my high score is 3 million. So I basically told you everything you need to know about this game, right? Strange science, light your kickback, Low the item spasher as much as you can. If you can get all four in there, get a fireball going. It's 12x playfield. 12x playfield. And it's a lot easier on a real weird type of game. Than it is on this. I guarantee you. I even played it in VR and it was quite difficult to... See hitting that shot is very difficult. So what I might want to do first is get my kickback lit by just bashing the strange science targets. load the freaking thing already. Man, that's just freaking frustrating. Who's liking the music? Hawkeyes, thank you so much for the bitties. Holy smokes. I wish the prototype magazine they had on the wrecking ball was used. Hawkeyes? I need to find an operator out here. Yes, you do, Hawkeyes. That'd be cool. I mean, my arcade rotates, which is cool. Oh, that's cool. We got getaway. Speaking of getaway High Speed 2 I may have to just stream an extra night And play Hawkeye's And Ken Swift's Version of The Baby Driver High Speed That thing still kicks ass I saw Mr. Scoot streaming it I think a few weeks back That thing still kicks ass man Attention my new Yes Why Why would someone want to do that to me? Make me work Offstream Why would you make me work Offstream Retro Geek Thank you for the bitties Uh, yeah. What did Lynn say? That sounds amazing. What did Lynn say? Our four-player arcade pedestal. I hunted and hunted and found a wall mop for the monitor that lets me rotate a four-inch... Lynn. Seriously. Hey, thank you for the follow. Thank you for the bitties, Retro Geek, and thank you for the follow. Uh, Metal Knight... Meta Knight Man. Meta Knight Man. Lynn. you gotta get a you gotta get a a camera a mobile cam and walk around and show some of your projects off on your stream sometime please let me know before you do it though because I want to be there because you have you have the friggin lab Lynn has got this stuff Lynn has got the GAC Lynn has got the know-how I'm surprised you don't have Yacht Rock going. Not today. I have to stay within the theme of weird science, strange science. You know. Look, I'm even wearing Nintendo cartridges, so. Yacht Rock would be a little... earlier. No, Yacht Rock would be appropriate still, I think. Yeah, use Droid Cam. because Droid Cam is what I'm using for the tilt cam. That's Droid Cam. Meta Nightman. Yeah, I watched you with Pinsomniac and Don't Panic Flip. Glad to grab a stream with you. Hey! Cool. Yeah, thanks when you watched me get beat by Don't Panic Flip yet again at another... I don't think I've ever beaten George at any duels. Ever. A little too 80s No I think it appropriate you so brave how did you not get DMCA well no this has a VOD virtual this is actually different I don't normally stream copyrighted music right on the stream but I am using the I'm using the power of not recording this to the VOD so when this actually gets bodied it if you won't hear any of the the stuff that you think you hear right now i don't know what you're hearing right now i don't i don't if you're hearing 80s music uh then that's because you love 80s music i i don't hear it with you does anybody hear 80s music i don't maybe you know maybe you need to lie down or something like that virtual i don't i mean any lennox i don't even know why i said any lennox because i don't know uh no must be jamming to the music left in their head yeah exactly i don't i don't I mean uh virtual here's what I'm going to tell you here's your here's your suggestion it's suggesting for you okay now listen if we met we could dance if you want to okay we could leave your friends behind this is the thing because your your friends don't dance and if they don't we're not going to get along very well. Do you see what I'm saying? So, teach them to dance. And teach them to dance safely, though. And scene. There's only one kind of music I hear on the stream. we can be imbeciles the only thing I hear are valley noises a few table noises remind me of Technologic by Daft Punk yeah well that's the thing about this table it doesn't have music it just has what did I do I get scared every time I hear the achievement sound All right, I'm going to finish this up. I'm going to finish this up. Oh, boy. You know, fiends, that happens sometimes. it happens sometimes on some occasions it will grab the wrong avatar so it is strange it's very strange wow that sucked see it doesn't smoothly go through there and it's supposed to yo fiends what do you know about uh tina marie right right tina marie right am i right tina marie come on and rick james bitch um That was a great SNL skit. Yeah, it was. Well, we are just perusing through the channel points now, aren't we? I hope this is Mr. Hardluck doing it, right? I hope Mr. Hardluck is buying all the channel points right now. Yeah. otherwise I have to give him free clothes unless he's not given enough credit for being a baddie you got that right yo Tina Marie could freaking hold her own with like the best the best of the best I guess I'm saving for a custom sound now at this point We're going to do one more I'm going to do one more because that was pretty awful And just so you guys know If you're going to join us on Friday Join me If you're going to join me on Friday, we will be watching the Uwe Boll hot garbage called Blood Rain.

No, I'm okay Xeroxo Flipstream Gonna need a lot of MPT3K logos Yeah Um Oh, that Oh Nope, one more Nope One more. One more. One more and then we're out. So, yeah, I'm forgetting the movies. I'm forgetting. There was one particular movie that I wanted to ask Fliptronic about, but I think we'll just take that offline. Oh, and there's a new game mode coming up. There's a new game mode that'll be it'll be like a lightning mode. And I think you guys will appreciate it. I want to see who you'll appreciate it. You'll appreciate it, I think. You're going to dig it. It'll be It's still in my brain right now, but implementing it won't be that difficult. And I think it'll be hella fun. I put my tilt bob on the left side, right under the left SSF speaker. Okay. Where's mine? Mine is on the left side. Mine is near the front of the machine. Attention. Incoming raid to the pinball theater. Pinball Warriors, thank you for the raid. with four beautiful people. Welcome to the pinball theater. We're wrapping up. We're wrapping up playing some weird science. I'm wrapping up playing some weird science because I'm in my office alone, but you are all with me, so I can say we are. If I crap, you crap crap. I have my tilt bob on the left near the front and the knockers on the right near the back. Sorry, strange science nail buster, and I will fix your sound right after this. Hang on a second. Let me check to see where my Tilt Bob is. Hold on. Yeah, it's on the left. That's where I keep it. It likes to go to the right, but... That's for you, Becca. What an appropriate... What an appropriate emote from Flipstream. A raid within a raid. Oh, man. This sucks. Is this ball three? Yeah, I think I'm done. I got my best score last night on this. It was pretty crazy. I gotta be like Frisco, where I stay up until like four in the morning until I get that great score. Hey, Surreal. why did I chuckle at that I'm so mature because because we have we share the same sense of humor a good one hey surreal I think your bot saved me again did you see my discord I was panicking I was panicking bro I was like I'm just starting and I'm being raided by Haas by Haas and Pfeffer I started my stream and they were like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 it wasn't running great oh well I only got hit by like maybe 6 maybe like 6 of them yeah Pinball says the game builds up for way too long flashes every lamp, SCR that hasn't really burned out due to its old and shitty design and then blows the doors off your tiny pinball mind with a frenetic explosion heart throbbing scintillation pinball whiz, did you look at the papa video with their description of weird science, strange science and why they would never put it in a tournament. Too much. That dude on the Papa video got, what, 6 million on Ball 1. And then they just stopped the video at that point because it's like, what's the point? That's the whole game right there. By the way, I posted some anti-hate raid bot resources in the TPC Discord on the StreamTech the other day. Thank you so much. uh mpt3k newsflash i played a strange science during pinberg nice wait what i thought they said they wouldn't put this in a tournament i mean it's it's not like it's easy to get four balls in the atom smasher but if you do get four balls in the atom smasher you're getting 12x play field you flip a couple of times and you're basically winning the game so alright I'm gonna call it really that That's not this song, is it? Please tell me that's not this song. Otherwise, I think I'm having a stroke. Whispered you my player card. Oh, sweet. I want to take a look at that. This is not that song. Oh, what's going on? It's desynced. It's not synced with my... I see what's happening. Alright. So many channels, that's right. Alright, kids. You know what song that is? That is Every Kind of People by Robert Palmer. Or Or I just mentioned a song by Robert Palmer That actually wasn't actually playing on the stream Because I don't know what you guys Or me is even talking about Yeah what song I don't know Robert Palmer at work I'll see you guys Thursday maybe Strange Science I'll post a link it's a really good remake. It's a really good remake. It's probably the best remake that's going to be out there. Whether or not you want to play it is up to you. I found it interesting for a couple of days. I think I might just move it over to the archives now. Sounded like Robert Palmer stuck in a pinball machine. Thank you. yo we're gonna go raid don't panic flip like usual because he's my he's my stream brother Go say what's up Here's what you do You go into the chat Of Don't Panic Flip You go Sup stream brother Sup stream brother Yeah Just confuse the hell out of them Pinball Theater stream terminating in 10 seconds.
