## Transcript

 It's so good! Get ready for battle! Music's the best part? Okay. Yeah, let's maybe read that out loud. You're doing well. Keep it up! Alright, so that's Catapult Ball 1. So we're not gonna start Catapult by itself. That's two locks. Now we're gonna start a mode and bring Catapult into it. It's just so mean. The music is like... It's really... It's very... It's very aggressive. In a good way. Yo, Pinball Howard, how you doing, buddy? Okay, we don't want to accidentally start a mode. Give me your money. Okay, what have I done? Let it bounce. Okay, we're going to backhand. And then... Actually, we could also sneak a lock in there, too. Ah, you know what? We're just going to backhand it. Okay, so this is the lich. And then we're going to bring Catapult Multiball into this. Oh, shards. Forgot that I sucked... Oh! I shot that, you poop! So you're going to notice something about my gameplay on this. I can make that center ramp a lot easier from the left flipper than I can from the right. And I also will spend a lot of time up top defeating the main bad guys that way. Can't remember. Yeah, the pro doesn't have any of the upper play field. It doesn't have a catapult. It doesn't have the upper flipper. It doesn't have any of this stuff. Okay, I hit that switch. You ding dong. All right, get your jackpots ready. Looking for some jackpots? Any jackpotters in chat, please? Jackpot! Okay, we got an edible. If we can... Oh, sharts. I messed up. Edible! Oh, damn. I screwed up the edible. That's okay. Watch it, old bird! So, while you're playing, you can shoot this drop target here for an add-a-ball, and I completely biffed that. But that's okay. This is our first game, and we're just still feeling out what's going on. So let's get our extra ball and our mystery. This soundtrack's just so tough. Scott Ian's wife is Meatloaf's daughter? How sick is that, bro? Yo, what's up, Post? Good to see ya. We'll get to the OG modes, too. Oh, please. Okay, get up there. Sharks. Where? I got your mercy right here. I need this soundtrack. Isn't it sick? Someone has to have ripped this already. I mean, not that I endorse. Anyway. Someone has to have ripped this already. I would be really surprised if this isn't digital. You got the power! I look to extract with pin browser, but can't figure it out. I can... Well, no, I can't... I'm not going to help you steal music. Pin browser is pretty easy to get that stuff going, though. Welcome aboard, kid. Who was that? Hold on, I'll look up in a second. Uh, Wonko, 62 months at Tier 3. Good effing gravy. Are you kidding me, bro? Wonko, I love you, dude. I hope you're well. Wonko just made a bunch of beef jerky I saw. I've had it. It's amazing. Not this batch, but come on, Jack. Help us pirate Lamao. Okay. I should be getting some sort of credit for being able to fork that. I literally just got a text and I bet I'm in trouble. Oh, crap. Hold on, internet. Don't drink. There's the attaball. Hell yeah. Okay, so we don't have... Black Knight multiball ready! You made your own beef jerky in a smoker? Oh, sharts, dude. That sounds amazing. Smoked jerky? Sounds incredible. Hell yeah. What was that worth? 30? Hell yeah, baby. Give me the love. Okay. And we have another multiball lined up, too. Here we go. So we're going to backhand into that lock here under his shield. Like that. And then just go ham on the points. And we're not going to hit that add-a-ball. We don't need it. You grow weary, but I grow stronger. Wow, what a dick. Shit, did I get the add-a-ball again? So I'm trying to get my catapult super jackpots ready. There they are. So now if I shoot it into the catapult, we're gonna have some pretty good cash. Rage! Okay, we're going to see what this ball wants to do. It wants to leave. Beef the jerky. I made my own jerky and smoker. What's up, boys? Hi, everyone. What's up, Teddy? Animations are great. I've tried to make jerky two times. It came out too salty. Ooh. You got a ball so satisfying in the pro, too. Sneak it in the fuck? Yeah. Sneak it in the fuck. This will help you on your quest. Unless it... Shards. So we want it up top. Because we want to collect the super. We need to get it up top and then into the catapult. Which is not an easy task. You are like a little baby. I know, that's maybe the best callout in this game. Although Fragile Meatbag pretty good too Shit Your slaughter pleases me Heavy metal this week? I didn't get any word about it, so I'm gonna say probably not. Although, it would be awesome. Jackpot! Jackpot! Jackpot! Jackpot! Holy shit. Wait, on the fly. Oh, nuts. Pump out the flames! Thought we were going to get that. Alright, so the first night mode is lit. So we've got to drop down this drop target and put it in the Vuck, and then we get a classic black night mode. So I think the very first one is from the original Black Knight. Alright. Sorry, this is a text from... Oh, heck yeah, Internet. I just got some good news about my old man in the hospital. As good as it can be. So I forget... Is it the spinner is the big winner in this? Super slings! Super slings, lol. So now everything's 2x instead of 3. your playfield multiplier during this is based on how many balls you have in play get ready for battle the black knight anarchy for VUK that's actually that's stupid and I love it anarchy for the VUK I would love control. Super Orbit. So is there an add-a-ball for 4X? I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think there's an add-a-ball. All right, so. if I hit this. I don't know what these lit shots do. I'm not going to lie. Do we want to just keep shooting the spinner all day? Thank you, Zero. I appreciate it. Ha ha ha ha. No way. Give me my mommy. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. It didn't really do anything. If it gave me good points, I didn't... It wasn't noticeable. I'll just say that. The BK2K mode is a lot more fun in my mind. Upper loop's good, too. Collect mystery in case point. Keep shooting lit shots. All right, let's get an upper loopy. You actual butthole. Go away. Go away. I was wondering if I could join your clan. I love the backpedaling is my favorite part of this game. Okay? When he's like, actually, I'm sorry. um post carryover modes i don't know i don't think so honestly let's have a brewing talk like that shit post catch oh yeah it was dirty but it worked here we go Let's have a Bruin talk. Scared, huh? Let's have a Bruin talk. Dude, I'm like figure-eating my butt over here. Okay, here's Ball Lock 1. Get a Magna save during a night. Move the catapult! I'm trying, dog. Shit. K! Wait, are you saying K isn't the letter? Or, like, I did something you agree with? Oh, man, we're... Are we just hitting this too clean? Do you prefer the pro or the premium? I love the premium, honestly. I hear the pro is even harder because of the speed at which the ball is traveling, which I can also appreciate. Oh, I can get up there like that. There's two. Point blank. How you doing, bud? Come on down. We got a hit. Oh my god, that was quick. Fudge. One shot left. Stop counting. Got him. Sucked my butthole. Did we finish him? Hell yeah, we finished him. Hell yeah, we finished him. The pro is great, too. This game, I think no matter what you do, you have a difficult game on your hands, but that in turn is going to make you an amazing pinball player. Anyone humming the final countdown in their head? I mean, should they be? Let's have a brew and talk, bro. This dude wants to parlay. I really like the pro, just sucks I haven't gotten on either version since the new update dropped. Oh, yeah, because before you could just farm out this left shot all day and it was boring. Like, you were getting scores that were unimaginable. Yes, it's too late to offer your gold. Shit. We don't want the multiball anyway, but we do want to light it. Like that. Okay, cool. Get ready for that. Now we could shoot cross field into this which is kind of a nightmare so we gonna to try to post and backhand it Debating here, Fusnube. Oh, Deadpool, absolutely. Deadpool, baby, Deadpool. Welcome aboard, kid. I don't... Oh, shit. Okay, we're good. Oh, shit. Damn it, you couldn't have jumped a little... That was my bad. You're like a baby.

Deadflip, just straight up give me a freaking pinball machine, honey. Can you believe it? He just gave me one. So, Zero, scoring for every pinball machine ever is different.
