Alright, see you in a bit Wax, thank you for the link So I'm gonna grab this I'm gonna grab what he's given me It's probably a It plays a little closer to the real game So that's why I'm gonna put it in now Alright You can beat me anyway, Micah Why is he saying bye? God, I almost forgot how to use this thing. Prepare for fun. The new version must be great. Here it is. I need... Come on, Manu. Jedi. There it is, Spider-Man. Send to... tables. You know what you should do? You should take a shower and come back. Okay. Alright. I want my pajamas fresh. Yep, so come back. You owe me a game. That's how you get rid of the kid. That's how you get rid of your spawn. You tell him to go take a shower. And then come back and promise fun on the way back. Okay, so Spider... Spider... Spider... Speederman. Paul Speederman. Which is the one that he just gave me, this one. So we're going to take this one. We're actually just going to delete it. Because that's what we do. And we're going to take this Speederman. alrighty then, I'm almost done and we're going to paste this so now I don't have to rewrite any names there's nothing else I have to do actually maybe set the maybe F6 it, just set the brightness, but I don't care I'm going to run it direct from visual pinball Oh, yeah. I enjoy pinball, but today I was... I always get burned out after a giant tournament at Free Go Watch. I always get like, okay, I'm done. I'm going to go and just do whatever. Here she is. I need to fix this. start button it's driving me nuts it's driving me nuts it's sticking out too far that's why what the you know what you know what i need a new micro switch I think I have a spare. I actually need a new micro switch. Oh wait, this is not color. Why is it not color? It's using a different ROM. I like the color one. I should have checked which ROM it was. What ROM are you using? Wax Buddy. Where's a CC game It's hard to read There it is S-Man 2 There is the color version So all I gotta do is this Let's Let's rem that The problem is I don't know where the friggin rem key is on this little This little abbreviated keyboard crap. I need a full keyboard. Where is it? It's a function key. Where is it? It's this one? Yes. Yep, thank you. Color. Apostrophe. Apostrophe. All right, I'm going to blow this up real quick before my son comes back. Can you hear the game sound? Give me a yay or nay on the game sound. Now here's what I want you to do, Wax, since you're with me. I want you to test something for me. Not only, so my lights are not working for some reason, but if you send a color command, you know you can change the color of the Mystery Pinball text? Well, I'm testing something. If you send a command called exclamation point riff, R-I-F-F, like Mystery Science Theater 3000, tell me what happens. Send a riff command. just exclamation point riff. That's it. I want to see what happens. This is what I'm testing. How nice for you to drain and keep things... You make the guys talk at the bottom of the screen. What? You make the guys make fun of me while I play at the bottom of the screen. Riff commands. That's it. And they say some stuff. I've thought about flipping burgers. Isn't that cute? So I, I, I, um, George over at Don't Panic Flip. What's that? Oh, a follower. Next level trolling. Decomplayer Decomplayer303 Thank you for the follow So this is something that's like Wide open right now You can type riff at any time And they'll riff me There's only 21 riffs right now I plan to put in about 500 riffs No not 500 I plan to put in I plan to put in at least 50 riffs Oh! Oh! What up, buddy? I always follow Pinball Peeps Do I know you? Maybe I know you Are you in San Francisco? Oh, oh I get it back. Yay Man I'm screwing up that venom shot Come here come here No you don't know me but you play pinball So you're my buddy Works for me man Man I have not hit that venom Thing once Oh Oh look at that Look at that Trapped up Trap it up So what I'm trying The reason I'm testing it is because I want to know how much it influences the stream. When you type riff, it actually hits... It takes a hit on my screens for a second. So it does freeze the screen for a second. Hey, it's only pinball. It freezes the screen for a second. And if you hadn't noticed it, then I'm in good shape. If you hadn't noticed that the screen froze, then it's good. But it actually does. Because there's a... So this was built with Roboctopus. The frame rate on the table looks pretty choppy. Part of the reason is because the table is a video game, is a computer. It's the same thing but a little bit better, right? It's a little bit better, yeah. Well, the flippers are definitely better. definitely better. Oh, Lazarus. Haven't lost the ball yet. Look at that. Oh, I lost the ball as soon as I talked. Boop. Oh, come on, Spuds. How many balls? Come on, MPT3K. Oh, Micah, I think... Hang on. Oh, no. Micah, hit the start button. Right now? Yeah, right now. Hit it hard. Okay, that's enough. No, no, don't hit it anymore. Um, I pressed it hard. Yeah, let's see. The button is, um, can I trap two balls on one flipper? There we go. Hang on. There we go. Um, it worked. Framerate looks pretty choppy. Frames are fine. Check your bandwidth. This is a virtual pink app. I love when, I love when, Hey, so Decomplayer, did you think this was a real pinball machine? Because that awesome It not It a computer It my home build I built this at home Wax on the stream is like a virtual pinball expert So he modifies games so that they run more like real games. And I just play them. I play real pinball too, so don't get worried. I play a lot of real pinball. Go watch his videos. If you haven't seen it, he did do one with Audrey. He doesn't know who Audrey is. This is my son, by the way, Micah. Well, what the heck kind of a multiball was that? His friend, basically. Oh, we got three people. Okay, so we're going to trade off Player 1 and Player 2 for Player 3. Ah! So you're Player 2. Wait, what about Player 3? Don't worry about Player 3. Wait, there's Player 3? How? You play, uh, because I accidentally pressed it again. Wait, then if I press this, it counted? If you want to press it again, then we're playing a four player game. Yeah, let's do that. Oh, you can't do it anymore. Yes, you can. So, you're player two and four, I'm player one and three, okay? So, zero zero on your... You're player two and four, I'm player one and three. So, go for it. Player two, you're out. Skill shot! I'm going to type a RIF command and see how screwed up it is. Hey, don't screw me up on one of them. Not you. It's not going to affect you. It's pretty good, actually. It's pretty good. It only gives a slight flicker. Oh, wow. That was not good. That was not a good first ball, but that's okay. You have two more balls. That was pretty good. It only does a slight flicker. All right. I like this vault edition so much. I like this vault. It says the person who doesn't really get used to it. Who's drained. No, I really like this vault edition. Uh-oh. Okay, so here's what I'm going to do. So the way... The tournament strategy on this is really boring. It's multiball and... Don't laugh at me, Wax. It's multiball and dock-off constantly. That's all it is. Multiball and Doc Ock. You know a way to turn a fun game into a boring game, Micah? How? Learn the tournament strategy. Because if you're on something like Deadpool, all you're doing is going disco multiball all day. You're not trying to finish any of the villains. You're just disco multiballing it constantly. Yeah, I knew it was Virgin Pinball, but both transitions are skipping frames. Your face cam is smooth. Could be. I mean, it could be because this pin cabinet is not running at... It's... This is not running at 60. I think this is running at... No, this is running at 60. But, you know, it's going to be a little weird because it's just different. It's not a real ball, right? And it's rendering. It's rendering frames. Gosh, I would like to find a person Who's streaming virtual pinball The way The way I do it No one's streaming virtual pinball on a cabinet Not to say I want to see that I mean, I'd be happy to watch somebody else stream On a cabinet But I don't know, I think I'm the first I think I'm the only idiot that's doing this Dude, Micah I cannot hit that venom shot to save my life. Yeah, me neither. For some reason, it doesn't work. This ball, I'm going to do better. Do better. Play better. Yes. I keep getting that. Oh. Oh, nice. Oh, Uncle Toy Box? Uncle Toy Box. Wow, I said I was going to do better. There's another guy who does. Oh, FX3 and VPX, but he's inconsistent. Very interesting to see this tool. You might be the first. That's cool. I'm so bad. No, Mikey, you got another ball. You got ball two and ball three. Don't worry about it. I know. You can always come back. Does this Uncle Toybox, does he stream... Can I, like, follow him and find him doing some of this stuff? Wait. So he says he made his own Mimmo machine? Well, I think that's what... I think that's what Wax is saying. That he has a V-Pin cap, I think. Oh, he's running... Yeah, and he's been running... He's been running Wax's tables, too. I need to meet this person. He sounds like my boyfriend. I'm doing okay, Micah. What mode am I in? Okay, Doc Ock has started? Nope, not yet. Not yet. So I need to make... Wax, I need to make, like... I need to make... I want to make 50 more riffs. And Audrey already thought up a bunch of them, which are pretty funny. I might go on Don't Panic Flip streams the next time. I might just ask the folks in the Don't Panic Flip Discord or in the stream if they can help me come up with riffs. Wait, you got it? I did get it, finally, yeah. Now I just got to defeat him if I can hit that shot. Get up there. Play better. I think I have a play better. I think I have a play better. I have. This is how we say goodbye in Germany. Venom, venom, venom. Oh, heartbreaking, but venom. Got him. How many times do you have to shoot venom? Oh, four times. One more time, and then venom. Oh. You gotta be Those are risky moves I know Those are risky moves They are You're right I almost beat him Yeah skill shots Skill shots Everywhere He's a smart guy right Oh god That scared me What I thought it was a bounce pass No Well It didn't hit the flipper it hit the plastic. So it's, I was just telling Audrey I was just telling Audrey this the other way. That dead flip, it has to hit the flipper. Once it hits the plastic, it dies. Because, you know, rubber is more springy than plastic. But I like your I like your, um, you got good ball control. You do. You have very good ball control. What am I shooting for now? I got Doc Ock ready. Locks lit. Let me try and go for Doc Ock. Well, okay. And if I miss Doc Ock, I'll get... I'll get multiball. I'm not in a mode, though, so it's kind of... It's kind of crummy. You kind of look like a... Oh, man. Alright, here we go. I'll use Murder Murder How did you do that? Well I can shoot for a green goblin right now Cause he's lit Shoot him Got one Boom got him again Oh no Aw man Alright I can backhand green goblin Or I could just do that So I can do this And then that Ah that didn't work That worked See the pro- Ooh got Dr. Ock My experiment So you know Dr. Octopus Let me in You know how to defeat the guys Right Micah? Yeah Alright this time I know how to defeat Dr. Octopus Venom And uh I forgot his Sandman He's the easiest one. Sandman's the easiest one. He's the trickiest shot. Because it'll come right back down at you. Oh, I shot Sandman from the friggin' upper right flipper. That was ridiculous. Really? Yeah. Wait, did I? No, I didn't. What am I smoking? Oh, I did. I did. It just came out. I did. I'm not smoking anything. Daddy doesn't smoke. Yeah, that's good. So Doc Ock, you have to hit all those shots Oh god This is why I like this game So Wax I am Happy to announce I'll announce it now Happy to announce it I will be streaming On Monday, December 2nd Monday, December 2nd So what?

No, well, not right now. But, yeah, I am getting good. I always get that skill shot. Cool, they have one there. Oh, finally! Yeah. My hands are so sweaty now. I can't believe I actually did that. All right, let me get ball control. Hold on. So I'm pretty excited that should be fun the folks at Twitch were nice enough to Walk to invite me out to do this stream from there I'll talk after Mike is done No Please you got a venom shot. Yep, and that's I need to get another venom shot There you go. Now get them. Oh! Flippers up! Flippers and butts up! I thought I could save it like... Almost. Yeah, they were nice enough to invite me up to their office to stream some pinball. You gotta kind of have an appointment. And Matt, one of the guys who works there, said they have a Game of Thrones. and there was a lot of issues with it. It was broken. So they're trying to get it fixed by the time of my stream. So hopefully they get it all fixed up. He said there's something wrong with the battering ram or the something. I forget what it's called. Battering ram or something.

Yeah, that's just an animation. Ah, the color's working again. Alright, I'm going to do the same with this ball, though. It seems to assign a new color when other stuff happens, too. Ooh! What? Oh, I didn't get the skill shot. Ah, okay. I'm going to watch that back. I hacked... I didn't hack his code, but I'm using things that George wrote for different purposes. Oh, gosh. This game makes... Yes! This game makes Manos look like a classic. That's just an animation. I'm going to use that when talking to the youngins. Don't worry, kid. That's just an animation. That's just an animation, kid. I just let go. That's all I have to do. That's right. Sometimes when you let go... Oh, bonus! I'm just going to flip. I don't know why I did that. Oh, oh, almost. I think it's higher up on the flipper to get Venom. I think we've both been flipping late. Oh, nice. Sighty Spence. What is wrong with my English today? Spidey Sense. Sighty Spence. That was a perfect post-pass. Yo, sir. Thank you for the soap. So what is soap? I'm goofing. I'm goofing. You got so many things lit, dude. Everything on the table is lit right now. Everything's lit.

Do I get a multiball for this? No. You didn't get it yet. What do I hit? I think you've got to hit the light a couple times. Gosh, gosh, gosh, gosh. Gosh. You're hitting Goblin, though, so that's good. I'm trying to get his multiball. So I can get the other multiball. Start stacking. I thought this was the red button was the... Yeah, you actually shake the machine to shake the machine on this. Actually shake the machine to shake the machine. Stop trying to hit me and hit me. Stop trying to hit me and hit me. Mikey, you want to watch Back to the Future Part 2 this weekend? Okay. We watched Back to the Future Part 1. Best movie ever. Did it riff me? It didn't riff? Well, I think one of them is broken, too. I got to go in and check all those commands. But it's like Alphaverse. What? What? That's the quickest ball yet today. Well, that's my score right there. That's what you gotta beat. Skill shot! I got a big one this time. Dad, we should stream Back to the Future pinball. Okay. Yeah, we should totally... I'm writing this down. This is good stuff, Marty. Good stuff. Wait. All right, we'll play a little Back to the Future after this. Yeah, after... So, for stream. Wait. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no. You can do it now. I mean, once we finish with this game, you can...

No, you got two. That's your first ball up. Oh. But you start electro mode. All you have to do is hit 100 switches. So go up the left a lot. Oh, you started that. Go up the left and hit the spinner, and you can beat electro. What? Get a spinner? Yeah, the spinner's on the left. Yeah, I know. The spinner's on the left. And that takes you up to the pop bumpers. I know, I know. There you go. That's how you pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. Lots of hits, lots of hits, lots of hits. I didn't even get to see the animation. Come on. Oh, 62. So you did get, you know, 40 hits already. Good game. Let's see who gets it. And 20. Nobody. Oh, one person. Nope, someone. One match. Yay. It's not using my... Oh, that's right. These Stern games don't like to use my knocker. I love that kids are so much aware than us old timers you wanna go get it? yep oh it's actually we're in here let me let me do it cause we're in we are in virtual I mean um visual pinball right now Wax thank you so much once again for just being awesome and enhancing the heck out of um these tables bits bits bits bits making them play so awesome bits bits bits bits I'm gonna let Micah show you guys back to the future Actually, we'll both show you. For you! We're going to do Back to the Future Pinball, right? Yeah. Where is it? It is right there! There it is. My start button does not work. It's both three parts. It's all three parts. Yeah, it's all three parts. But going two and three jam together. Yep. You first start with 1985. Hey, Kazzy! What's up? Lots of clocks. Lots of clocks everywhere. Kazzy, type exclamation point riff. R-I-F-F. All as one word. Exclamation point riff. To have the robots talk to me. Or make fun of us. Back to the Future virtual pinball is very good. You even get to see the guy skateboarding, actually, on the board. You guys will like it! it's been updated the color reset again hmm okay I just had a dotnet crash I know what that is again look at that a dotnet crash start the game see look I'm I'm gonna have to exit though because .NET just crashed. No! No! Marty, no! Recently played. Okay, let's try again. Please wait. I'm now loading up the game. Okay, so Wax, you're saying whenever there's a Rift Command... Wow, yellow. Yellow. Wait, remember when you gave me the bits for me? Was it for the Rage or for me? That wasn't Wax. That was somebody else. I know. I think that was just for you just being cool. Okay. Just wanted to know. So every time you do a riff, it turns black? That's not good. I gotta talk to Joe. Talk to, um... Let's let you guys just see a cool part. Like, no, no, don't press the... Oh, okay. I want them to see, like, the map and how it's cool. So there's the tires. This is the Fandora, whatever you call it. I think it's time-based. After five minutes, it goes back to black. Ooh. There's more that's... Okay, I'll ask George about that. Actually, let me write that down. Come on, get in here and show them Back to the Future. Press it hard. Oh no, it's this one right here actually. The destination time, 19.55. Yeah, we should start part one, 19.55. Pretty good. Hi, Fyndor. If you're gonna shoot the ball, why not do it with your skills? How do you get the skill shot again? I don't really know like shoot it to this thing like short plunge it to that my gosh short plunge it to that and then There you go. Oh, I did it. Oh I don't know cuz it just said skill shot missed. I have no clue What up wolf man? I got such a big score in this game before I need to keep hitting that thing and I also got some mr. Fusion Mr. Fusion gives so many points So much points I'm not going to hit Biff Because I don't like Biff So every I'll tell you guys what we figured out about this game Every Every year you go to has three goals This one has Future Boy, A Dream, and Earth Angel And they're basically How many shots of each you have to take Yeah You hit the flux capacitor enough times You get a two ball multiball I think jackpots are in the flux capacitor. I remember that part. Let me know if the sound is okay for you guys. If you guys can hear the sound okay. No! What? I mean, when we're not talking. What do you mean? When we're not talking. Oh, the clicks don't work. Oh, well, go ahead. My doff links has died. That's what that .NET error was. That's okay. Oh, gosh. What should I hit? Wait, what's... A dream? How do I... What is a dream? So, a dream is, I think... I think one of... Shoot something. If you shoot over something over here, I think it's a dream. You gotta actually play again because it's going through the status screen. Earth Angel, you will be my... Earth Angel. Earth Angel. Earth Angel. All right, let's find out what it is. Earth Angel is done. Okay, shoot something else. Just shoot something. You got three flashing arrows right there. I'll tell you what to shoot. Oh, really? Good. That was Future Boy. Well, yeah, we should actually tell you something. That scared me. Tell me something, future boy. Who was the president in 1985? Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan? The actor? Sure. I suppose Jane Mansfield is the first lady. I don't know what it is, but when I kiss you, it's like I'm kissing my brother. Come on up. No, Biff. Biff, come on. Yeah, I gotta hit you. So, future boy is done. Earth angel is done. A dream to a five. Damn, damn. A dream. You see it? It's the only one that's left. That skateboard's easy. Absolutely. It's like the precursor to skateboards. That skateboard is so old. Come on, guys. We need more quotes in the chat of Back to the Future. What's that? Wax is winning. Maybe you remember. I'm all about... Oh, my God. Maybe you remember. I'm all about, I'm all, yeah, you're about to build, I'm building my own cow. I going to um I going to buy today TV for the play Narrow down to Right two possible models Someone here might be able to help me with The decision You know what, I'll help you with the decision The model you go with is the one with the fastest Done, done, done The fastest I'm not saying The lowest latency Whoa Now you're going back in time Yep You gotta hit You gotta hit all the shots to go back in time Or forward in time Or wherever There you go Go go go Refresh rate, thank you Wax Fastest refresh rate possible I am not joking dude Fastest refresh rate possible Are you talking to me? I'm talking to Kazi Because he wants to know which screen. And if they both have the same refresh rate, then just pick based on whatever you want. But that's the most important. It's got to have a game mode. It's got to have a mode where it doesn't do any processing. Wow, what are you doing? You still haven't traveled in time yet, though. I know, but I have out of time, so I'm like comboing right now. I'm comboing skeletons. Nice. In Minecraft. With a blade. Wait Say I play Minecraft If you play Minecraft In the chat guys Okay Just wanna know There might be a couple of Minecraft people in the chat Holy gosh I think it's faster When the table is dark Camera settings Um I'm just doing whatever I'm just flipping buttons Decom player Oh my god I am getting combos. This is the same... This is the same... Exact same camera I used to stream real pinball. I don't make any changes. Yes. So I think it's just... I think it's just an issue of... You know, of capturing the screen. Ah, I just need to hit that. Yeah, oh! Whoa! I put you in drain. That was just... You're not going to backhand that. No, I'm not trying to. That is a dead flip. That is a dead flip. Try it backhand again. Oh, or post-pass. Let me shut up. Let me be quiet and let this boy play his game. I keep getting those which is okay I guess. Oh yeah Wolf, check this out. This is pretty neat. Show them. This is how we say goodbye in Germany. Yeah you might need to adjust your aperture auto. Alright, get control of the ball. Oh, I almost hit it. You almost got it, man. It's hard to actually travel. Come on, you can do it now. I can do it. Yes, I can do it. You can do it. You can do it. No pressure. There's no pressure. No waste pressure. What was that? What kind of flip was that? Come on. That looked like a panic flip. Oh, wait. I don't want to... Don't panic flip. It's coming back. It's coming back. Oh. I forgot. There's... You could probably backhand that. Really quick. Okay, now do it. Oh, you gotta hit that car, dude. I'm accuracy. There you go. Yes, finally, the world of God. You gotta hit it again. What? Yeah, you gotta hit it again. Go, go, go. Hit it. Got it. Nope. Oh, you got double scoring? Nice. You're almost at 1.21 gigawatts. You don't want another multiball, though. Why? It's yellow. That yellow is scary on my logo. What yellow? Wax is changing the color of the pinball Cyan? What is that? Aqua? Hey it's only pinball I can't backhand that If you guys If you guys know of any good riffs For the robots at the bottom of the screen To say Watch I hit that like a monster Throw them in the chat and I'll look at the chat later And then I'll add them and this is for my big stream I'm streaming December 2nd from 5pm to 7pm Pacific Time at Twitch so if you're watching this video right now then you probably will be able to see him streaming at Twitch at Twitch from Flynn's Arcade at Twitch we're going to stream how about you lose Turkey oh oh Wolfman Wolfman you're back You have never made me so happy Ever What? I'm putting that in tonight What? He gave me an idea of what to put A riff in there That's like an in joke for just me and Wolfman You lose Turkey I love it I love it If you can think of any famous Pinball Insults Nothing by Steve Ritchie That just annoys me I don't want any There you go Now you're going through time Look look Oh look Yeah You gotta hit the You gotta hit it You gotta hit the I know I'm still Why isn't this thing working Right now There you go Yes Oh my god What is that That's the hook Yeah but I got a like achievement That was so cool Yeah I never got that before I've never done that Okay set your destination 1985? A 1985 alternative. But you haven't seen this movie yet. This can't be happening. I'm afraid it is happening, Marty. All of it. What's happening? This is 1985, the new version. You haven't seen the movie yet. You know what I really want to do? I want to drain because I don't want any spoilers. Are you serious? Yeah, I'm serious. Okay, you can drain. You got to go brush your teeth anyway. And this one right here is falling asleep in my arms. You sure? You know how to get back to it, right? You need to. He doesn't want to spoil the movie, so he's going to try. Wait, what happened? Yeah, but... Why is he still in 1955? Wait, now we're in 19... We're still in part one. Better watch the rest of the movies, Ace. I don't understand this. Micah, you're ruining it for yourself right now. You're awesome at 1955 and 1985, but you chose 1985A. Ooh, wow. That was a big one. All right. Finish this, Micah, once you drain this ball, that's it, okay? Okay. Because you do have to go to bed. Micah got up this morning at 6 in the morning to go on a class trip to 49ers Stadium? Yeah. We got to see how the 49ers played and their catch and the famous catch. The famous catch. Yeah. Was it a famous pass or a famous catch? Well, this guy threw a ball and he caught it and his feet were like three feet away from the ground. So it was just epic. I don't know why. Oh, no, I couldn't hit that. Hit it. Yeah, I hit it. That's cool. So, look, the pinball jumps on the hoverboard, and then you knock it off like in, what do you call it, Bram Stoker's Dracula. I didn't even watch the trailers. I didn't even watch the trailers. How about Theory of Magic guy falling down the stairs? Oh, no. That's a good one. LOL, he hasn't seen the movie. He hasn't seen parts two and three. We watched part one last week. I'm like doing crazy so fun So here so here are the mops here So here are the models anyway. Oh, I see. Oh Man, I would love to be able to look that up. I can't look those up Trust me Kazi. You gotta look at refresh rates. You gotta make sure it has a game mode and refresh any input lag What Wow eight milliseconds What what's my points right now because I feel like I'm getting like two months to make you are at 81 million points Whoa, this is your high score right now and you drained out and we're gonna have to we're gonna have to stop Cuz you can play all night Yeah, you can play this game all night. We have to stop and put everybody to bed Dude right here So much bonuses 90 You do this one, okay? Okay, go brush your teeth. Skyler, don't follow. Skyler, why don't you come up here? The LG is probably going to be cheaper. It has the IPS, same IPS as Samsung. Oh, let's see. Press the button, Sky. Dude, both of those screens look great. I mean, with 8 milliseconds input lag... Oh, 10.8 milliseconds. It's still better than this screen. This screen has a lot of input lag. Dad power. Well done, sir. I wish I could buy a new screen for this. Unfortunately, my... Skylar, I can't see. unfortunately unfortunately well actually skyler stand up stand up so you can yeah i can see around you i bought this screen so long ago i think it's got a ton of input lag and i can't get a new screen because they don't make 46 inch screens anymore this is a 46 inch this is a 46 inch cab so i need to build a new cab i'm not building a new cab if i could find a nice cheap 46 inch uh 4k screen and I'd be in luck, but... What did I just say? Where are you going? Are you sneaking down? I just drained. Skyler, you want to play this last ball? Come and play this last ball. You'll need a new computer to run 4K. It's no joke. Actually, Wax, I have on deck. So I just finished building. This machine that I just finished building... Oh, no, no, no, I want to change it. How do you change the player name in FX3? It's like locked me out from changing the player name. That's a problem. It's got my name in there. So this machine that I just built is my new work machine. It's a Core i9-9900K. 64 gigs of 3600 megahertz RAM M.2 500 megabyte M.2 It's a Hackintosh So it's a Mac Mojave And Windows 10 machine I built it all, it took me 4 days to build it But That is all to say that I have on deck My old machine Which I can put in here I wish I could put your name in man Because it's just locked out But let's look at your stats. So the new machine that I'm building has, for this, my 1080 card is going to go in here, my GTX 1080, with my old i7-67K and 16 gigs of RAM. Guys, you're about to see a crazy upgrade. I mean... Dude, you had the drain, actually. You could have kept going. Wow, look. We have unlocked a new mastery reward, DeLorean 1885. single player results look at this your previous best was 57 million congratulations you are now at 98 million bro wow my previous guys wait can you press ok that's my boy look guys so you see 57 million and you see 98 million yeah that is big that would be So Wax, that would be overkill for this machine Except for the fact that I do run VR on this machine So I'm able to play VR versions of every table If it wasn't for that Then I wouldn't bother Because this machine is pretty much dialed in I think it's got a GTX 980 in it right now Anyway Cassie I think 43 is authentic size Yeah, don't go 46 I would never recommend anybody to go 46 inch cab I mean, I did it 10 years ago because I thought it would be cool because I was like, I'm going to get, you know, Twilight Zone at full size. I'm going to get Star Trek Next Generation at full size. And realizing that every other table in the world is smaller than that, I didn't know. So anyway, Kazi, get the one that you like the most. Get the one that has the best. Make sure they both have game modes. Make sure, you know, check latency. I think that you already did. And just... Oh, oh, and make sure it has good off-angle... You know what I mean? Like the angles are right. Because if you put the screen in and it doesn't have good viewing angles, you're going to be in trouble. So make sure it has good viewing angles. Because I emulated like looking down my table. This table has really good viewing angles. You can see it from every angle. I think that's it. This is a super fun game. We should play it more. We should do it again on stream sometime. Yeah. He's got to go to bed, and this weekend we're going to watch Back to the Future Part 2 and Part 3. We'll watch Back to the Future Part 2. Yeah. And don't forget, exclamation point. Part 2. What do they got? Say goodbye to your balls. Say goodbye to your balls. Say goodbye to your balls. All right. Micah, say goodnight. Goodnight. Goodnight. Bye. Goodnight. night. It's right here. It's right here. Oh, sorry. The camera's right there. I'm just like, you know. That's okay. Alright. It's kind of confusing. Anyway, bye guys. I have to go to bed now and hopefully you like this stream. Make sure to check Dad when he goes to Twitch. The Twitch place. December 2nd. December 2nd, everyone. December 2nd. After Thanksgiving break. okay bye bye Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
