## Analysis

Jack Danger (DeadFlip) streams Data East Star Wars (1992) for the first time, learning the game's rules and mechanics in real-time with chat assistance.

- [HIGH] Color DMD upgrades significantly improve the game's visual presentation — _Jack comments 'color DMDs make a game. It almost looks like it should have existed the whole time'_
- [HIGH] The Death Star ramp is difficult to shoot consistently and requires precise flipper control — _Chat provides repeated guidance on Death Star mechanics and Jack struggles with the shot throughout_

Don't drain. Juice Neutron. Coming in with that freaking amazing hot tip. Got a little Twitch's support humor, right, Prototype? So good. All right, well, let's play a bullshit game and just feel the game out. I've been told everything works, so let's see what happens. Ha ha. Haha Haha Well by the way snowboarder again, thank you so much, dude Wait, is there a stoplight on the center ramp? It's hyperspace yellow jackpot green Empire red When you get to the orange moon, you can hit the fire button to open the Death Star for a few seconds If you miss you'll be set moon progress. I don't even know what that means This thing opens laws Here we go. Does VMD look okay? Or does it look stupid? Alright, so that ramp's doable. Does Scooting Force over here do anything? What does that do? 9 million points? Holy sh... Can you just keep getting mystery awards? Come to the dark side for $25 million. You own this game? Nice, dude. It's an interesting machine. What did it want me to do? Scoop the kickback? You can backhand the Death Star, right? You can't backhand that ramp, though. I love it so much. Nice, dude. It's an interesting game. You know what I need to do is move my check, because I can't see a damn thing. Use the force. Super laser kick. I'm so spoiled. Prototype 11. So, okay. The force thing is, like, lit all the time. Looks like you can backhand. What's Jabba's bounty do? Because that's lit. The big SR2D2 toy? Yeah, dude, it's pretty sweet. So, I'm... That's why we're playing test game. I've got to figure this out. Love you too. XOXO, baby. The leak currently at 279. We lost? What the fuck? That's what happens when you don't screen, guys. That's what happens when Twitch guys, you lose scrubs. Is there a ball save on this game? Good. That Carbonite, though. That Carbonite graphic was... Alright, that sucked. Oh, come on. I'm trying to figure out how to play this fast and furious. It's a mystery award, job is bounty. Okay. So I think this is just the, looks like the right orbit. For 15 million. Okay, I shot the right orbit and it didn't give me anything. I shot it again. Did I just do it too soon? Is that what happened? Victory shot? What the hell does that mean? What the hell is victory shot? What the hell? I can never get it to calm down. I'm going to scoot this back a little bit so I can read chat. Victory shot was 25, but what was victory shot? What did I shoot to get that? R2D2 is the picky target? Oh. Okay. Good to know. You can order a victory shot at the bar behind you. Victory lab is R2D2 again. Oh, nice. Shit. When my prime sub runs out, I'll be transferring the sub over to Pape. Prototype. You so cute. We got a replay already? Hell yeah. So how the hell are you supposed to nail this dude? Got it. First try. I need to stop shooting at that ramp from the right flipper. Now you can use the fire button to open the Death Star. Never mind, drain. Wait, at what point was I able to use the fire button to open the Death Star? 61. Is 61 good? Hold on, let's look at the scores here. I need an approach. Is there like a just hit this all day type of way of playing this? 500. Oh. Yeah, it's a little kisty, it's a little kisty. You gotta advance past the sixth moon. Right here. These are the moons. I'd hit that, man. That'd be a shame. So after the sixth moon, I can hit the fire button to open up the butt hole. I would love to hit a ramp. That's no moon. Dude, I love all the bodies going into the starlight pit. Yeah, prototype. Uh-oh. Hold The good thing to check is here. I gotta search them real quick. The bulb condom fell off of Jackpot here. Oh shoot. The condom fell off. The condom fell off. No bueno. I gotta say, this is the first time this happened. It's not usually like this. What is that? Is that an earplug? No, it's a condom that fits over the bulb to color it. And it's got to be a real name, but I don't know what that is. I think it's called a bulb condom. I think that's what they're called too. scientific terms I wonder if LEDs do not eat condoms LEDs Thank you brother Nailed it It's play playa time Yeah, boy. So, okay. You said six moons. I have one, two, three, four, five. Okay. The term bulb condom is actually used on the internet? Yeah, it's a bulb condom. That's what it is. It's a rubber for the bowl. Holy glass snacks. So am I advancing moons by hitting the Death Star? All right, hold on. Nope. It's got to be six. If you hear Death Star approaching, throw down the shifter. Throw it down. Okay. Like that? Thank you. I never would have known that. At all. Like, at all, at all. Desktop, Roger. Well now what do I shoot for multiball? Oh, the jackpot is the rank. Got it. Stay live. What do I got to shoot now? Now what do I shoot? I don't know what to shoot. Drinks a victory shot? Hell yeah. Yo, Wobbular, thank you for the 600 biddies. You are a god. It's like a jackpot needs to hit the Death Star twice. Okay. That's one. Sharks. There's no grace period? F this game, dude. No grace period. My god. You're welcome, dude. Love the channel. Aw, thank you, buddy. I appreciate it. Okay, now what do I do? Slappy, good to see you, buddy. Dude, Wobbula with another twerp. Thank you, dude. Your support is unparalleled, my friend. So what do I shoot now? You know, do I just rock the force for a little bit? Also, if you don't mind, I want to be next bit boss. Do it to it, man. I can't control it. First time learning this table? Yeah, I've never played it before, Glager. And I love learning this stuff with you guys on stream because you guys know way better than I do what I need to shoot for. You can work towards another multiball by grinding. Oh, but... Wait, 2x what? 2x what? 2x what? 2x what? What was 2x? Complete Bank to Light Hyperspace. Oh, shit. Death Star again, rinse and repeat. No. Just hitting the trigger before the skill shot appears on screen. Oh, just before. Okay, good to know. Good to know. May the force be with you always. Mmm, mmm, mmm. Check this shit out. Skill shot, here we go. Push the button. Nailed it. Oh my god, I suck at this. Skill shot on this game. I want Jabba's bounty. I want Jabba's booty. Looks like something that's lit by the inline there. That's not savable. What are the custom sounds of? Glee pin next week? Oh, dude, DDT Dave, man. If I could travel more, you know I'd be there. I'm telling you, truly. If I could travel more, I would be there. I just, you know, if you guys want to put a pool together to party with me, let's go. Otherwise, I can't do it. So that R2-D2, I'm sorry, C-3PO shot is actually pretty tough. I'm in Colorado next week. Pinball Jones, any good? I've never been to Colorado for pinball. I'm a little jealous. Because apparently they've got some good stuff going on there. Why did I do that? I don't know. I've got to stop trying to shoot the ramp with the right flipper. Come on down to Northeast Georgia. Play some pinball. Have you ever been to Georgia? I do have to go to Georgia sometime to visit my boy, Brian Royals. Is gravity different playing in the mountains? Oh, I didn't think about that. Yeah, are the games floatier regardless? Alright, what are these two targets doing? Like, nothing. I can offer up buying a beer all weekend, my man. I live in Georgia. Star Trek felt floaty last night. Star Trek? Laker, I didn't play you in pinball last night, did I? Looks bigger than hip. Alright, Jabba the Hutt. Advanced. So, is that QX bonus multiplier? It's a cheap weekend. Shoot the death ball. If you guys wouldn't have told me that, I'd never get multiball in this game. You know that, right? Like, ever. Well, that ball's gone. Oh my god, this game can suck all the butts. For why? Oh, there's a restart? Oh. There's a restart, baby. Yes. Oh, I had to hit the Death Star first for a jackpot. Come on! This game hurts my feelings. Alright, good to know there's a restart. Yo, what's up, Tater Salad? Tater Salad. Can you guys see the game okay? I'm having trouble lighting the game. Want to see a little bit more of the Death Star? How's that? Is that better? Hopefully that's good. Check, you need to come to Southern Pride. I really do. There's a lot of events I need to go to. And the busier I get, the more it becomes reliant on people getting out to those locations. Same? Oh, damn, we shot it. I am unplugging this game. The balls are fairly bright at least going down the gutters. Thanks, Red. That's not Stern Wars. I didn't say Stern Wars. Oh, I forgot to tweet that I'm live. Internet! God damn it. Stay on target.

I want free everything. I love free stuff. Alright, well that works. It's almost like if it goes too fast it doesn't register. Yeah, if you give the public free everything, that's how you stay open. Because people will always come back, but you'll make no money. Well, we got damn near full value on that. G Compiler. Whoa. That's some deep shit. Thank you, G. I appreciate it. Make sure your internet's good. What is with this game? Alright. You know what I'm doing? I not following my own advice of just shooting the effing guest car I shooting everything else I don want to like How this That a little BS right there So, you can start multiball early. What is the difference between starting it early and starting it normally? What's the difference? 2 million! None, just harder. Oh, cool. Nailed it! There's a timer? Oh, if you start it early, That's where the timer comes from, guys. $50 subscription? Yeah, man, just have a private, have a fucking private club. Hello? It didn't give me my Java bounty.

Tree Bowl! Alright, so you gotta shoot Death Star once, then shoot up Zero. We're gonna get a relight for that. Hello! Hello? Um, hello? Hello? Was there a ball stuck on the switch here? That whole time? Oh my god. What's that? I can't read. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. That slow train. That sucks. Drano. All right, give it to me, baby. Uh-huh, uh-huh. All the money in the world. If I had a million dollars. Remember that song? If I had a million dollars, I would buy you a coat. It's a special kind of coat. I don't know the words. I love Ed Ed Robertson. He's such a great dude. I'm the Duke of Bourbon. Shoot it. Was that Paul III? Easy, 5 million. Fuck. 133. Okay. How did I get that? I got that exclusively from shooting, I feel, C3PO to R2-D2. All right. To my dad again. Sorry, guys. It's dark in here. I know. I'm sorry, guys. Let me try to brighten it up a little bit. Wait, what am I affecting right now? Is this the DMV? Yeah, the game is stupid dark. Okay, so that's brighter. Alright, have a good one, Freshie. Fresh. Pull a key. Yeah, this game's naturally dark, but I can do this. Hold on. Now that the sun's going down, we can up the exposure a little bit. How's that? A million bucks? Happy Father's Day to all the Aussie dads. Nice, dude. MB, multiball, dust star, ramp, dust star, repeat. Got it. Cool. Jack Chan setting. It's like nine day? All right, cool. Do it again. You guys just want to hang out in the mini settings? What if I just do backhand force all day? I mean, is this profitable to keep shooting this? I'm already... Here we go. You have to shoot it first. Okay, the thing is, I thought that was going to shoot down to the flipper. Right? What the shit? Man. Ugh. Yoda, give me some of your lit inspiration, my friend. What is hitting these yellow targets doing at all? Can you just... Putting down the score, they seem kind of low. Fuck you. Same frustrations? Yeah. AJ, how you doing stud? Hey, you let the ball drain out there, buddo! Alright, we're gonna throw this game away. Because this game started off bad. Don't freeze. My life is a fart. Alright, here we go. Quitters never win. Yeah, this is true. Throw the game out the window. I'm just going to throw this game out the window. Oh, are there any flipper codes for this game? Does anyone know? Before I, uh... Well, I'll start this game. Go see if there's any flipper codes. Easter eggs. Ace is real. Protect yourself. That's very true, Red Keg. Um, I just got a text from my dad, he's headed to the Mayo Clinic. This weekend, uh, duh duh. Just let me play the game, just let me play the game, let me play the game, reallyきü let me here the game, I'm going to put my freaking whole ballast in the coin door. I'm so frustrated. Is there a reason this ramp is so effing steep? Oh my god. Who designed this? Who designed this game? Double, triple kickback! What are ramps? I like that, Scott. You just stay jumpin' pretty over there in the corner. You ever seen the movie 300? I didn't point... I swear to God. The art is crap on this game. You guys are so rude. I think the art scene... it's okay. It's just very posturized. This is pinball. Where's my 300 million? Picks the game across the room. I'm just flipping at whatever now. It looks squibbly. It's a little squibbly. I'm lit. So, this ramp is not giving me anything. At all. Look at this. Look at this. Look at this. Look at this. Is this game playable? Look at this. Look at this! We made it! We got one! Oh, look at this! Oh look at this! I froze the timer. Look at this! I did flip, turn up the cam settings and let us stare at you for two minutes. Okay, yeah. He's going with the cam settings. Well, Daddy's gone, right? Yeah, I guess you're right. Just cooked. Thank you for the host study. Kinda gross looking when you grab the shooter thing. Just cranking on it. Look at this. Watch me do this, Internet. You watch me. I want my 25 million. Come to the dark side. Oh! Oh! Look at this photograph. Every time I plunge, it makes me laugh. Yo, are we going to get a Nickelback pin, or what? What the hell is taking so long? All right. Oh, no fucking around, Internet. Focus. Death Star only. Death Star only. Death Star only. I don't even want Skilcox. I wonder if it's too late. Did I break down and try to masturbate? Scott Danesi is going to make a Nickelback pin and it's going to save the band. Right after Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Anything under 100 I consider a bad game. Good to know, Jaded. This game. All outs are, look at this photograph over and over. Look at, look, look, look. Look at this graph. So on the third ball you can just smash it. Kill them all. Yeah, we're going to post it soon, Crystal. I want to do some editorial to it. So I can cut you out. Because everything you say is trash. Get in there. Yo, Crystal. That dude got us pretty freaking wasted last night. Yeah, I have a garbage dump. What other games do they have at that place? Dude, Decompiler. There has to be like 20 or 30 pinball machines in there. Elvira and the Party Monsters, Doctor Uh, the new Star Wars that just came out from Stern Pinball. Um, Radical. Uh, Taxi. I mean, I can't even list them, and I'm not going to. You may be wondering why I drained that. I did it on purpose. So I can do this. Shit! Nevermind, I lied. Oh no, this place is huge, dude. So what does Scooting it back in the Death Star actually do? Wait, the jackpot's in the Death Star, not up the ramp? Hold on. What just happened here? Let's have Spryball restart. Oh, I want that to happen. There we go. We played Rob Zondy the other day. Nice, dude. Those are hard to find. I think there's only 300 of them out in the world. Like this, you see what I'm doing? I'm going against what I promised myself I would do Folks, turn the desk back Submit AIM! Crystal just works at Logan, if that's who you're talking to. I don't work at Logan. Use the jam force idiot! Alright, let's get some jackpots and some SJPs. I want some JPs and a couple of SJPs. Put it on your knees girl. asking you please, pretty please with the cheese on it. Yo, I got bars, right? I mean, I go to bars a lot. Am I going to get a relight? How do relights work in this game? Good on you. Streams the pinball. How do you relight this? Cheese, singles, or shredded? All of the above. I'm meeting with potential check. You hit the Death Star, so no relight. No shit. Farts. Still better flapper than Lil Yashy. Who's Lil Yashy? Relay multiball if you don't hit. Ah. So don't hit it. Lil Yatchy, that's not like a typo. 8? I'm sorry, 8x? Yatch Y? I'm opening up a bar in SLC? Hell yeah, dude. Oh, Yachty. Okay. Okay. Yo, I am a moron. I just read Yacht as Yacht. Yachty. They call me Little Ya-Cheese. I slim like a little cock-a-cheese. There's tilt number one. Cool tilt animation, yeah right. Shoot the death star! Clipper coils don't have secondaries? Wait, what? Alright, I hit the desktop. Which you said not to do, right? Okay. Now what happens now? No relay. That's kind of bullshit though. That's kind of fucked up. Did you get the relight because you didn't collect the jackpot? Not because you hit the effing... ...butthole. Anyone want to join me to... Oh, voice chat. I mean, I wish I could pull that up right now. We need practice on this multiball because I still don't think I fully understand what I'm doing. I'm shooting the Death Star once, shooting the ramp, then shooting the Death Star again, then shooting the Death Star two more times, then shooting the ramp, then shooting the Death Star again, right? I wish it was a little bit taller. I wish it was a baller. Seraphire, you're not kicked out of Discord. There's no reason you shouldn't still be in Discord. Are you kidding? Seraphire, you're telling me you're not in Discord right now. Hitting the effin' button usually gets you deep to the bottom. Hold on, let's check our Discord really quick. Zero fire, type something right now. I refuse to believe. It kicked you out, now try to get back in there. It shouldn't kick anyone out. Ever. There's people in there that aren't subs at all. So, Scott Danesi, you type exclamation point discord. Wish I was a little bit yachtsy. Exclamation point discord. Exclamation point discord. Oh, God. Exclamation point discord. Join. Oh, God. Welcome back, Zero Fire. Zero Fire. If anyone thinks they get kicked out, Type an exclamation point Discord. You ever use a table mic? Uh, Glager, what do you mean? So you can hear the game? You can hear the game if I in somewhere that isn a bar Otherwise if I have multiple mics it going to be crazy echo and blah blah blah Shit you guys don want to hear it I promise you. Okay. Okay, you screwed me. You did it. Great job. All right. Someone's being very active in Discord right now, goddammit. Prototype, prototype, prototype, Serifier, you sons of bitches. Yeah, you'll hear Chicago Barbaros. The Chicago Barbaros. No one wants to hear that. And if you're talking about, like, a pin sound thing, dude, these games, the fact that I'm allowed to come in here and stream, No one's going to let me open up a machine and start hooking crap up. Dag, yo, I never understood that. SLC, love you bud. Here we go. Super desktop. Give me the ball. Oh, my God. What is the timer on that? Like, freaking three seconds? It's probably exactly three seconds. Get a wireless mic and tape it near the speaker hole. Here's the thing, okay? Just so you guys know, some of you may be new. I've been streaming pinball. September 22nd will be three years straight of streaming pinball. And I guarantee you, I have tried 100% everything. Okay? Now, if I want to show up with a giant trolley full of gear, we can have this looking like this sexy freaking thing on the face of the earth, but no bar is ever going to let me in here with that. The fact that I have this going right now is a godsend. Flappy, I love you, bud. Have you turned the stream with a snake? You know what? You're right. Came for the pinball, stayed for the set. Mouth hugs the Lord. What about two snakes? You know what? I've not done the double snake. It's true. Plug the bar? Type exclamation point location. We are at Logan Arcade in Chicago, Illinois. And we've been here the entire week, and we'll be here all week. Plug, butt. Butt, plug, and I'm plugging butt. Cute. Yeah, this bar is incredible, for sure. Great bartenders, awesome drinks, excellent beer selection. I swear to glob, dude. Did I get it on time? I did. I did. I'm going to go ping spam dead clip on this one. Thanks. Now why did that let me restart? Because I obviously hit the desktop. It's here. It's fresh. It's Logan. Okay. It's the best place around that's got lemonade. I mean, adult lemonade. Is this rampless effing makeable good? Thanks for the heart, Phoebe. That's not perfect. Oh, Yoda's lit. Oh my god. They don't have cheap food, but there's a cheap Chinese food place right next door. There's a subway. There's a Red Hot Ranch, which is a hot dog joint. little tiny building in the middle of nowhere. They got some good goods here, man. They got the good goods. Alright. We got this. Only Death Star. Only Death Star. Say it with me. Oh yeah, the He-Burritos too. I was right. You ever had a steak sandwich where the bread is actually hard fried plantains? This is going to blow your mind. Only Death Star. Yeah, you're allowed to bring food in here. Only Death Star. Death Star. That didn't make sense. They have my favorite beer here, Daisy Cutter. I didn't mean that second split. Oh, God. Yes, sir, don't close. You piece of shit. Dude, it is literally like three seconds. So what does collecting the fighters do when they're like right by or standing by? Daisy Cutter is amazing, man. It'll give you more than the sinus headache. Jack runs his whiskers beer. What time does he get busy? Uh, like 8 o'clock, so like about an hour, half an hour, something like that. Around the time where we're usually chopping down. Static coming and going or am I going deaf? There shouldn't be any static. Is he supposed to hang on to the ball? The fucking toy broke. It's going broken, it's holding the ball. R2-D2's chest slid down. Is it called Jevin? Nice slide back in there. Nah, we should have got those points. We did not. For some reason, I don't think Jack's alerts are working. Kid Tango donated 100 bits. Did it not come through, man? Thank you for the bits. I guess I missed that. I think I've donated enough for you to have a pint. Dude, Kid Tango, thank you so much, buddy. I appreciate it. You're awesome. Discord did not play well with my DAW. What? With my jaw? What do you mean? Yeah, I hang with people all the time when they come into Chicago. Alright, yeah, this game's fucked. Um... Oh, your digital audio workstation? I think, um... I think, uh... I think we're screwed here, boy. I think we broke it. Well... 8pm. R2 drops his pants is what happened. He's a shithead, man. Okay, so... 831 Star Wars Data East R2 dropped his pants good luck with that technician did die right? I didn't have to say a thing about the internet, I never did a fucking bro. Jiddiary. Pooping machine. Um, well. Mood apathetic. I like where this fanfiction's going, Chris. Good to see you, buddy. What's your favorite pinball machine? Wallets. That doesn't exist, man. It depends on my mood, really. There's a lot of games I love and a lot of games I'm not a big fan of. Change game? Not possible. There's way too much shit set up. It's hard to... Let me show you how tight the games are and that there's stuff in between each game. So, the space in between is like barely anything. And all of my gear is right stacked up here. It's super tight. Super tight. So, alright. Tonight was a bust. What should we play tomorrow? Internet, what are we thinking? That is a Doctor Who. You guys want to play Doctor Who tomorrow? We can play Doctor Who tomorrow. Dog damn, get out of there. Just play Elvira like that. I'm not playing the next generation. No, God. D.E. Star Wars. I was just playing this effing dump hole. The game took a shit on us, guys. Look how dark it is in here without the help of my light. Can you help me choose between a list of stirring games? Glager, type them in chat and everyone will help you. Radical's cool, but we had that game for a long time, and I feel like we streamed it a lot. I think a game that would be fun would be Doctor Who because I personally never streamed it. Ever. Put the face cam to the side and play Elvira. How about I just stand here and drink? Let me tear down everything except for the face cam and we'll just have a little one-on-one for a little bit. I've got to tear all this crap down anyway. Don't move. You had a Doctor Who grown up? Nice. The Walking Dead's in the back. Stuff that's been moved really far back there, I can't stream because the internet will drop out. And the internet here and my hotspot won't reach because it's all brick. All brick. I have my IRL rig with me. Hold on. Let me double check that that's true. Not true. Not true. Where the fuck is all my eye real gear. I have a stock in here. Wait. Alright, Flins, have a good one, buddy. Huh. The Walking Dead or Game of Thrones? Do you guys really want to see Game of Thrones? I feel like that game can get a little boo-ring. A little boo-ring. Lol, vodcast. Oh, dropped my stuff. So, shit, I don't know. Let's just tear this crap down. Man, ACDC's so good. Elvira! We just screened Elvira, and I was told not to screen Metallica. for pooping reasons. Matt Lowry pin box ACDC or The Walking Dead two great games Thought I crashed my shit again Valley truck stop is that a game So skip Natty. Here's the thing. I want us. I wanted to stream I Was talking to the check here about how to stream the table flip again I think we might do it. Red Cake Junkyard's all the way literally at the back. I was going to stream that today. But they moved it last minute all the way to the back, so... Pardon the noise. There's no ACDC here. Boo, what's up? Boo, we were streaming pinball, but we broke dead each hour. By the rotation? They like to keep it fresh. Or else it's the same boring stuff when you walk in. Which I appreciate. I appreciate it. Love ya, brother. DLC, I love you too, buddy. Thank you. Baby, I like your style. Thirds on your leg. Break all the machines, keep on flipping. I'm doing a pretty good job of that, man. I can't believe we freaking broke this game. The idea of a bar case is awesome. I agree, Zero Fire. and they print their own money. It's like such a profitable business. All you need to do is take care of your fucking games and you win. Right? Take care of your games and you win. Your grains. I got a stack rack with a big stack rack. If, I'm sorry, if what? Patonka. I like your name, buddy. You're a buffalo. A bison. Patonka. What was that movie called? The Last Mohican? Is that what that was? That's the game stuff. I mean, the game didn't suck. Well, okay, I will say I was getting pretty frustrated. I was actually getting frustrated. Bowling Stream, Space Station. Space Station is... Are you just naming pinball machines? Oh, Dances with Wolves. The last Mariah Carey. What am I going to do tonight? We'll figure it out, man. Heavy Metal Meltdown is no longer in rotation. They brought in Doctor Who in its place. I would love to find the Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. You know what? Somewhere we need to go, because they've got an interesting collection of games that I don't see on the internet, is Galloping Ghosts. So Galloping Ghosts has like a Galaga. Am I getting that right? Galaga? They have a Nightmare on Elm Street. They have a couple of cool games. The problem is I'm afraid that their internet might suck, but In my internet, my tuck butts. And all the butts will be sucked. Girl, I heard you lot back in the butt, so I got you a butt to put on your butt. People scream from there all the time. Wait, Galaga King, what are you talking about? Do they, really? Are their streams pretty stable? Or are they, or is it you just see that they're live but you're not watching so they're just dropping frames all the time. Having the internet and streaming versus having a nice looking stream are two different things. If it's stable, okay. Okay. Well if it's stable, shit, let's uh, I gotta get in contact. Yeah I saw that Hobbs, it's at that bar over by the merchandise mart. Which is silly because those games were created here in Chicago regardless of what people think. Free force of the people that work for Jersey Jack are here in Chicago. What is this? I think they just passed game 600. No kidding, Gallagher. That is insanity. Insanity. I can sign. Is that a spell block in Chicago? It's not on the map. Okay. You really need to label your wires. No, I know exactly what every single one of them does, buddy. Yes. Fun fact, Jersey Jack is named after this. Yeah, we know. I didn't say it at all. All right. Good to see you, boys. How you doing? How you doing? Wake up. Oh, 10-star leader in there. Oh, no shit. Yeah. Um... I don't know. Dude, I haven't seen the show there in fucking years. Yeah. Should we allow it? Apparently, yeah. It's free for time use. Yeah, yeah. Sounds great. Did you guys allow it, babe? Yeah. It's not an angry. Excellent. Fuck this. Most bad days are weird times. Heard everyone's feelings in years. Kinda, yeah. I love it, dude. Well, good. Break a leg, man. What time's the next kickoff? Probably nine. Probably nine? Yeah. I know, uh... I know, uh... I know, uh, I was going to say, um, July 27th, 24th anniversary, and that's going on until then. So we are recording here. We've got a lot going on. I'm going to put it on the video. Cool. Nice to meet you. Yeah. How are you doing? Good. Where's the, uh, government? Sure. It's on the line. Where am I right now? Yeah. Well, no, hopefully, yeah. Fuck yeah. Well, cheers. I never thanked you enough, baby. Have you had that beer yet? Redankula? Yeah, it's a random beer we have right now. Do you have a beer? Oh my God. I need a... I got a lot of money. I don't know if I can check that out. That's like... Yeah, right. Okay, I'll... The nightcap. Like it just pans out. Rock and roll. All right, brother. We'll... We will. You miss Jack Bizarro? What's Jack Bizarro? Lickin' on the... Oh, wait, this game is still plugged in. Oh, this is the... I'm an idiot. Sorry. Poopy doopy doopy. I think I dislocated my thumb. Is that a thing? Can you do that? Geo View Cam? Okay. Old bar ceilings are the best. Yeah, it's the tin ceilings. They're incredible. Old tin ceilings are the business. Your chest screams are tiny? I'm telling you, I'm working with as compressed a thing as I can make so that nothing's in the way, you know? And I'm able to read that while playing pinball. How do you even see that, Jaden? Yo, I got better than 2020. But as I get older, the chat's going to have to get bigger. Eyes of an idiot. No, not every time, Jaden. Not every time. Just depends on the location. Depends on how much room is in between. If I could fit a laptop here, great. But Galaxy is broken today, so I figured I would just make it easy on myself and set up on here. Which they allowed me to do. Alright, kiddos. I'm going to call it. Thank you so much for being here. This is awesome. I wish the game didn't break, but what are you gonna do? Screw it Tune in tomorrow. We're gonna play doctor who okay, and Maybe we'll do some IRL stuff tonight depends on how drunk I get and how tired my arms are Okay, I love you hearts and chat, please hearts and chat All right. Be good be good to each other flip out Yeah, IRL walks home for sure. All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom. All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom.
