# The Avengers LE - Stern 2012 **Source:** Mystery Pinball Theater 3000 **Type:** video **Published:** 2022-07-19 **Duration:** 88m 23s **Beat:** Pinball **URL:** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buJS0ZY4CLA --- ## Analysis A lengthy gameplay stream of The Avengers LE (Stern 2012) pinball machine at Free Gold Watch arcade in San Francisco, featuring the host Dr. C discussing game mechanics, strategy, and community interactions. The host compares this game favorably to Avengers Infinity Quest Premium, breaks down shot sequences and multiball modes, and engages with chat participants in various contests and banter throughout the session. ### Key Claims - [HIGH] The Avengers (2013) is a George Gomez design with Lonnie Robb, showing hints of Deadpool in its design — _Host explicitly states 'This is a George Gomez design, Lonnie Robb' and references design similarities to Deadpool_ - [HIGH] Free Gold Watch plans to have all Marvel games in a row, including Deadpool LE, Avengers Premium, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Iron Man — _Host states 'The owner here is thinking about doing the following. Having all the Marvel games in a row right here' and lists specific games_ - [HIGH] The host prefers The Avengers (2013) to Avengers Infinity Quest Premium and plays it more frequently — _Direct statement: 'I actually prefer this, Dude Dad. I actually prefer this. I'm not pooping on The Avengers Infinity Quest (Premium). It's great. But I never play that. I always play this one.'_ - [HIGH] Loki locks in The Avengers are controlled independently by each flipper—left flipper controls certain letters, right flipper controls others — _Host explains: 'The trick about the Loki locks is they are independently controlled by each flipper. So you can only move the L-O-N-A-O on the left flipper and the K-N-E-I on the right flipper.'_ - [MEDIUM] The slingshots at Free Gold Watch's Avengers machine are weak and do not fire reliably — _Host states: 'These slings, I gotta tell Matt, these slings do not fire for any reason at all. These slings are Papa Duke weak.'_ - [MEDIUM] Short plunge to Loki locks is an efficient tournament strategy to quickly get into multiball and put up points — _Host describes the technique and notes 'I've seen people do that in tournaments' and Brian O'Neal endorses 'Get your Loki locks'_ - [MEDIUM] The host's personal high score on Avengers is 26 million, achieved while 'drunkish' — _Host states: 'I think my all time high was 26 million. I was drunkish.'_ ### Notable Quotes > "I actually prefer this, Dude Dad. I actually prefer this. I'm not pooping on The Avengers Infinity Quest (Premium). It's great. But I never play that.

Nope, it didn't work. Gosh, I gotta figure out why this never actually works. My hands are off. What's up Ken Swift? Whatcha playin'? Well, I got to clean the screen. I want to clean the glass. How is everybody? Welcome to Street Pinball Theater 3000 right here at Free Gold Watch. Once again, the home location of me and everyone in San Francisco who cares about pinball. What up? What up? The screen wasn't up. I know the screen wasn't up. Here, I'm going to do this for you. Let's do this. Oh, F-B-W. Regal Watch. I'm playing Avengers. The good one. Avengers. The original Stern. The Avengers. The original Stern. The Avengers. I want to clean the glass though real quick. So everybody hang on. Be right back. Let's all go to the lobby Let's all go to the lobby Let's all go to the lobby To get ourselves a treat Let's all go to the lobby Let's all go and drink a good day Let's all go and buy some candy Let's all go to the lobby I did it. I always do my breaks just in time. I never take longer than that. So this is the game that I met pretty much Ken Swift and Hawkeyes. This is the one that we pretty much met on. I better make my camera a little taller. This thing is bumping into my head. This is the awesomeness. But it was a virtual pin, not a physical pin. It was a virtual pin that I met you guys on, right? Ken Swift? I think that was it. Oh, we also have this, too, here. Boom. Boom. Alright. We got the Hulk cam in the house. Woo! I'm going to scooch that DMD up a little bit. So it's not clipping on the top of my head. Because I'm like... I'm definitely a stickler for like details. Smooth this up. Y'all know what the shield looks like. Don't worry about the shield. All right. So it's me all by myself again. No beginners like Mary. I think Mary's got work on Thursdays now, so they can't join me all the time. How is everything? Is everything coming in loud and clear? You guys hear me okay? I'm going to bring my mic down just a little bit so that I'm not catching all the ambient noise. It's ambient. Ambient, not ambient. Ambient. Yeah, it looks pretty good. Looks pretty good. Now, I watched a long time ago when I did this, I watched the video by Bowen, Bowen Kerins, I think he explained this game. And I got pretty deep into it. Then I forgot everything. I just forgot everything. So I went looking for another The Avengers Pinball tutorial online. And lo and behold, lo and behold, Game Club Central Mr. Marty did one on the VPX, which is basically the same rule set, right? Same layout, same everything. It's just the virtual version. And it reminded me of all the stuff that goes in this game. I am not getting $200 million on this game, but I'm going to try and break $10 million. Because this game requires a lot of shots, a lot of repeated shots to enable all of your Avengers. You've got to get them going. You've got to get them started and then you can start playing. So, it's a little tricky. Oh, shoot. I thought I put it on pre-play. I guess I didn't. Oh, my goodness. And this is something like, like, VPXers. It's easy to go into your DMD, VPXers. and just give yourself, unless you really enjoy listening to the credits now. You're the best streamer I've seen with the VPX. Marty has got it now. Game Club Central is now the leader. I can't even hear it. I need to turn it up. Let's turn this puppy up. I hope that's not too loud. Look at that volume slider. It's pretty. I am such a stickler for like... I got to stick my tongue out when I do this. There we go. Oh, yeah. Wouldn't it be... Yo, Ken Swift, wouldn't it be awesome to hook the pop-up to this? So I'm going to go, first I'm going to start normal, we're going to start simple. We're going to take the normal skill shot, which is at the top. If I don't touch it right now, it's an extra special skill shot. But if I move the lanes, I get less of a skill shot, but it's still a skill shot. We're just going to go for that. Okay, I missed the skill shot. Oh, it's actually very loud. I might make it a little quieter. Whoo, it's very loud. So the first thing I'm gonna do, like I say, is a game where you gotta hit shots repeatedly. Let's start with the Thor targets, like Marty did in his video. We're gonna drop the Thor targets three times. Each bank of Thor, or I could just get that shot right there. Three times. Some of those shots are really tricky. And requires a very... I'm not juicing up Hawkeyes like crazy. I said Hawkeyes. Hawkeye, not Hawkeyes. Oh, damn it. I thought I read something that Nail Buster had a way to hook into... Yes. I've heard that it's been done. I've heard that it's been done. Yeah, I've heard that it's been done. Alright, so this time I'm going to move the lane to see if I can get that regular skill shot. What's up, Meta Knight Man? Now I would have gotten so I got the regular 250 skill shot. Every time I shoot for Thor I get Hawkeye. Which is not a problem really. Now I gotta shoot Hawkeye some more. Let's shoot Hawkeye some more. Let's get Hawkeye juiced. Alright, I think Hawkeye is juiced. It's really tough to hit... Oh, I just dropped the clipper. It's really tough to hit the forward target like that. I can't believe you got through! It's a sick angle right there. Alright, let's continue our game with the door targets. Let's do simple goals first. What a fudder! What up, buddy? I keep hitting Hawkeye. And I'm getting Loki locks at the same time. There's an Iron Man shot. Hi, also thank you for the sub. What a footer. How are you guys? How are you and your tenor half doing? Alright. We got Thor. One mode of Thor. Done. There's like three modes of each character. I think I had two modes of Thor done. Oh, I was hoping that bounce would bounce over. Wow. It's kind of worth it to shoot that. Some bemused dorks just walk past me. No, they're not dorks. Every time I... Another day above ground, hope you're well. Yeah, I get you bro. Every time I stream... Where are you going? Hold that gun like you used to! I'm gonna bring it down to 35. Most people know me now here at Freak O' Watch. Most of the regulars who come and play pinball, they don't even talk to me anymore. They're just like, oh there's that guy who's gonna hog that one machine for an hour and a half. Great, I won't get to play that. But generally speaking, every once in a while there's like some newbies that come in and they see me setting up and they're like, whoa, what's that? Now, generally speaking, I'm in a hurry, but I've really learned, just like streaming and playing pinball, I've really learned to be polite and talk to people while I am feverishly setting up wires and stuff. So I relax now. Where I used to freak out, I relax now. If someone's like, hey, so what are you doing? Explain to me in great detail what you're doing. I do because I don't this stuff is such muscle memory now I don't need to devote any like brain cells to setting up anymore it's this straight up root thing oh your t-shirt is killing it thank you I got it from Stern I got it from Mike Vindicore Marco Marco Pinball thank you for the raid 22 beautiful people I hope you had an amazing stream and you fix stuff. Because that's what you do, right? You fix stuff. Also you sell stuff. By stuff I mean pinball stuff. Specifically. Wayne the Bathtub. I love that name. Insanity Ball. What's up? What's up? Is this arcade? Is that arcade quarters or by the hour? It's actually quarters. it's quarters it's a quarter deal over here at Free Gold Watch that means you don't have to drop 20 bucks and then play 3 games in a week, I flipped it you know what I mean? Paladin, what's that Paladin? thank you for the sub and also thank you for that movie donation, so much you're a legend, you know that alright let's, I said 10 million we're going to try and get 10 million but we're going to talk about the game a little bit more today also So, skill shot up top, great But there's another skill shot, it's a super skill shot If you short plunge to the Loki locks And then hit, I think it's Is it Captain America? I think so Is this the modern Avengers? No This is the original Avengers This is the original The Avengers And my DMD cam is drifting, I hate when it drifts My DMD cam is drifting. It's loving to drift right now. Ken Swift saw me struggling with this in the beginning of the stream. I want it to be picture freaking perfect. Clearly it's not going to be. But I want it to be close. All right, here we go. We're going to do short plunge. Short plunge. Get to the Loki lock. And then shoot, I think Captain America. Well, you saw I shot it, but I missed it. Alright. Once again, we're going to work on our characters. I'm not going to work exclusively on Thor right now. I'm just going to work on, let's say Iron Man. Loading intelligence, one more. Whoo! That didn't give me credit for it. That was kind of sad. There's a Black Widow shot. There's an Iron Man shot. Let's get him again. I got two Loki locks too. So let's get a Loki lock. That's not a Loki lock. That's the Captain America shot that I needed a long time ago. Let's get a Lopi-Lock. Oh, man, that Tesseract. That was the fastest I ever got. Iron Man, almost online. Which do you prefer, this or Infinity Quest? I actually prefer this, Dude Dad. I actually prefer this. I'm not pooping on Infinity Quest. It's great. But I never play that. I always play this one. I don't know something about this one. This is a George Gomez design, Lonnie Ropp. It's straight up, like you can see hints of Deadpool, right? Hints of Deadpool. Right here. Right here. So imagine that goes... Imagine that does that, right? Hints of Deadpool. Let's see if we can get some more characters online. Skill shot, skill shot, nope. Alright, if you drop the Hulk targets I think three times, the Hulk stand-ups three times, I mean drop targets, you will, you will start Hulk multiball. This is a 5 ball multiball I think? We should do Black Little a little bit. Let me see if I can backhand this Black Little shot. Um, Infinity Quest present manual and D20 to make it through. Uh, what theme arcade you could build around all the... Yeah, you could... So... Ah, trying to backhand that son of a gun. So, Matt, the owner here... The owner here is thinking about doing the following. Having all the Marvel games in a row right here. So that includes our Deadpool limited edition, the Avengers Premium, the Guardians of the Galaxy Pro, the Iron Man, the original Iron Man. What else do we have here? There's this, obviously. What else? What else Marvel? I can't think of any. Here's some others. Spider-Man. We do not have the Spider-Man anymore. That game is awesome. That Spider-Man is so much fun. I had Spider-Man in my murder garage a little while ago. There's a skill shot, by the way, kids. So since this is Ball 3, I'm going to see if I can get the Hulk multiball going. See if I can get the Hulk multiball going. I'll get some points. No, no, no, don't, don't, don't, please. Then put Batman on the end. I don't have to mess with people. You don't miss DC with Marvel. Hey, I matched. I got a free game. Yay. Okay, we're at four million. All right. So this next game, here's what I'm going to do. I am going to concentrate. It's like my camera is right... Are you guys hearing some weird buzz? I'm going to tilt the camera out a little bit. My camera is right on my freaking microphone. Okay, we're going to do Loki locks. This time we're going to do Loki locks. I'm not going to say it's an easy way, but here's a good way to put up some points if you've got to play this in a tournament. Work solely on your Loki locks and get Loki started. Loki locks are down here. Right? There are these guys. Here and here. L-O-K-I. The trick about the Loki locks is they are independently controlled by each flipper. So you can only move the L-O-N-A-O on the left flipper and the K-N-E-I on the right flipper. Got that? Good. 80s style. 80s style snow. We can call it above us. Hmm. Think about that one, paladin. Alright, here we go. There's a K. It's going to divert over to an O. Alright. There's another little secret trick you can do by letting the ball drain and getting the K and the I almost at the same time. Those locks don't look low-key at all. What's up, Slug? Captain 12, thank you for the tier 1 sub. You're a legend. You keep me going, bud. You keep me going. That's a Black Widow. That's an actual Black Widow shot right there. You don't have to clear the ramp. You just have to... Scrap. You don't have to clear the ramp. You just have to hit the spinner. The Black Widow. 23 months? 23 months, Captain? Jeez. So let's try this. Let's just do this. Watch this. Go. Wait. Ball save. Is the ball save going? Here we go. One. Now catch it here. Catch it before it fires it. Switch the lane. And get your K in your eye immediately. See that? Get your L or your O. Black Widow. This is a bad backhand, so I'm going to try and do this. Black widow to O. Loki's lit. And then get your first Loki lock. So now I got Loki locks ready. I've seen people do that in tournaments. So there's your first Loki lock. I've seen people do that in tournaments. That gets you almost immediately into, now I gotta shoot this twice more. Wow, really. Somebody's gonna die, all right. I gotta shoot it twice more to get everything going I can do this too Watch when the ball comes out short plunge Then let it feed your flipper immediately Low key started. So if you want to get into a multiball quick and make it low key, put some points up, try that. I'm not saying it's easy, but it's doable. Now, do that. It's not super easy. But it's not impossible. Alright, I'm draining too much. There's another thing you can do. You hit those, I think the shield targets to double your score. I forget what the plate bill multiplier is on this. Thank you for that. Whatever that was, I appreciate you. Oh, that's the addable. Sorry, that's just the addable. Oh, man, that was a bad bunch of drains. I still got one ball left. So, five million. So, if you're like on ball one or ball two, you put five million up on the Avengers, you're in pretty good shape, I would say. You, you, you, against regular people, you're probably going to do better than you think. Police action. I need to make a redemption for for moisturize your eyes I went to the eye doctor yesterday so my glasses prescription has not changed in five years yet he took one look at me and said you're a computer guy right yeah your eyes are very dry most people who use computers their eyes are very dry because they don't tend to blink I am very guilty of not blinking. In fact, I generally was like, yeah, I use computers sometimes. So I forgot to count the fact that I stream pinball. Can you moisturize the DMD? Oh, why does this keep doing this? Look at this DMD. Hey, I'm going to fix this. So I tend to, you know, I stream pinball. Thus, I am using a computer and staring at a screen for hours. Well, Mr. Scoot wouldn't say it's hours, but I'm watching a screen for a while. So therefore, he prescribed these eye drops for me and for my wife, actually. We both need... Oh, I see what this is doing. Oh, this is crap. All right. I'm going to fix this rig, guys. so he prescribed drops for me and my wife so we have to but I have to do the drops once an hour so I was thinking of putting up a redemption on the street and it says moisturize your eyes so you're going to rip off DGMS what's that LEJ what's DGMS And why am I ripping them off? Hang on a second. I need a tissue Somebody clip that? Dude was like, oh, there's pinball in a stream all ready for me. I'm ready to roll. Hey, I don't have to do any work. I got a stream. I got an audience. I got a game. I've seen that dude before. He was literally like, all right. Hello, my baby. Hello, my honey. Hello, my right hand guy. Oh my god. Oh my god. You guys are so funny. You're making me cry That's why I run and come back because I mean what what would happen if I just left it I should do that sometime just like sit by the counter. Just watch people come up and like play pinball He gets 5% of the stream is revenue now. Yeah All right, here we go The next time you do Loki, though, it's a lot harder to do Loki. So your next bet is to go after the Hulk. If you have the Black Widow shot locked in, you don't have to shoot the drop targets for Hulk. You can shoot Black Widow to get Hulk shots. That Tesseract is kind of in the way That Tesseract is kind of in the way Oh crap, that sucked L.E.J., it's good to be seen by you Welcome back to the theater Did you accidentally give me a message that someone else was supposed to get? Oh my god, I'm sorry. That last message was for another Taka Fui Li. That's okay. I made it into something funny, so don't worry about it. L.E.J., it still works here, though. It still works here. All right, Hulk is lit. Oh, that's what pinball does. It puts you one shot away from the thing you want, and then it takes it away from you. Your setup is so tight. Thank you. Yeah, but my DMD is just driving me nuts right now. I got another match? What is the match percentage on this thing right now? Happy check, Joe. What's up, fiends? Did they put you in time? Did they put me in time, huh? Yeah, I'm sure you are all what is deemed... Yeah, well, Ellie, if you don't want to tell us what DGMS is, we will make up what it is. We will actually... All right, friends in chat, what could possibly DGMS stand for that Ellie J is speaking of? What do you think DGMS stands for? And begin. Doggone Microsoft. Doggone Microsoft. I like that one. No ball save? I guess you don't get a ball save after a skill shot. Don't give me SARS. Wait a minute. Let me see if it works. So you're going to rip off DGMS, which means, so you're going to rip off Don't Give Me SARS. That's your answer, Metal Knight? You're sticking with that answer? So you're going to rip off Don't Give Me SARS. That was a bad flip. Digital? Wow. Oh, I missed my Loki lock reading that. Digital? Digitally warmendizing many streamers? What is that? Ooh. Tesseract. These slings, I gotta tell Matt, these slings do not fire for any reason at all. These slings are pretty weak. I tell you, that Captain America shot is dangerous. Yes. LEJ will say who the best answer has. Who's the winner? I'll tell you this much. Here's what we'll do. Whoever has the best answer, LEJ will say whoever has the best answer to what DGMS stands for. Okay? That person will win. If you don't already have it, that person will win a custom sound on this channel. All right? Once again, I repeat. Ellie J will say who the best DGMS is, and they will receive, if they don't already have it, a custom sound, a walk-in sound right here on the Mystery Pinball Media 3000. And Ellie, you will also get a custom sound for being awesome. Ellie gets a custom sound. And the winner gets a custom sound. I'm feeling generous today. Here's my Loki locks. Not yet, not yet. In order for me to get my Loki locks... Oh! No pressure, y'all. Don't give me... Alright, so here's what we got so far. We got Doggone Microsoft. Don't give me SARS. Don't gloat, Manu. Stinky. Digitally gormonizing mini-streamers. Dirk Gently's magic service. Remember what the context of the original sentence was, though. I'm sure... Wait. The original sentence is... So you're going to rip off DGMS. Don't bank my sandwich. Don't gank my sandwich. Don't give me... Yeah. Don't get me started. Alright. This is not easy. And Mudderfutter, you already have a custom sound. You know that. This is for Ellie. This is for... Don't Google Manu's shizzle. I think Hulk is ready. The easiest way to hit Hulk is like this. Not like that. Oh, man. Is that ball three? Hulk is like the easiest one to do. That was ball three. Damn it. Does anyone else want to try for a custom town? Where's Mary? No, you said no. Brian. Brian. Brian, can I explain how to come into a room? You don't... Brian. Listen, Brian. You don't come into a house. Hey, Brian, how's it going? Hey. Where's Mary? Hello, Brian. I said, where's Mary? Okay, now that we've got that solved, Brian, what does GGMS stand for? and unfortunately Mary had to work today. Where's Mary? Where's Mary, goddammit? Mary had to work today. Yeah, I miss my Mary. I'm missing Mary. I missed two Mary weeks. Two merry weeks we missed. Spud! Ah! Damn it. Joe Harrah. Dig gardens, Mary said. Good game, mother sucker. Ellie, are you still there? Ellie, you have this game. After this game is done, you need to pick a winner of the What Does DGMS Stand For? After this game is done, we're at ball two. Wait, this isn't Mary's pinball theater? Not yet. Facts. Mary had to work today. Manu's mama got a job. Therefore, we can theorize that Mary is perhaps Manu's mama. We're both Smith. What's up, Bumper Nugget? We are... I thought you said GGMS. Oh, no. D isn't David. You got it. We're both Smith. Mary's last name is Smith and my last name is Smith. So I may be her son. She may be really young looking. You know what they say, black don't crack. Yes, I just implied that Mary is black. She's just very fair skinned. She could just be very spiritual. She's got that Michael Jackson thing. I love when it rejects and it comes screaming down that... That was wrong. No one can control the Tesseract. Don't get me started Golden Girls. This just in, Man Who Calls Mary really really old! OK! No! Woo! That was close. I should have brought my Scorbatron actually and put it in here. That would be kind of cool. Me want Loki lock! Me want Loki lock! That's Captain America, that's not Loki. There we go, there's Loki. Now I'm wondering if calling Mary an old black woman is a compliment or not. Oh, no. You guys are distracting me from playing the pinball games. Black Widow's ready. Let's do some Black Widow. Let's do some Loki. Oh, shoot. Man, this game slaps so much I love this game so much No offense to the other one No offense to the one that's sitting over there This one is the king right here Oh, Brian agrees I like this adventure Yeah, Brian agrees This one, I don't know This one is like pinball. Let's get all those Lokis going. Because I got Thor running. And that would be good to have. Everybody. Stay up there. Stay up there. Ah, sticky sticky. Ah, I keep hitting Captain freaking America. I got Hulk. Oh, okay. Rock me! I'm taking too many chances. Okay, no, Ellie, you're still good. You're still good. Ellie, you've still got... I'm on ball three. Buffering, refreshing, adds. I'm back. Bumper Nugget, what up? What up, beautiful? What if the new one had different code? Yeah, if the new one... Bumper, if the new one had different code, that would be a yes. If the new one had any other code than what it actually currently has, that would be a yes. If you read Petty33 of section 412 of the AIQ rules, it explains in depth over four paragraphs why this game is better. Squalito! What up? I'm good. How are you, babe? How are you, bro? Squalito in his house, y'all. Look out. Woo! I really need... Come on, give it back to me, please. Thank you. Hey, Herbski! Ah! That was... This is a, what is this? This is an Ellie. All right, Ellie. Ellie? Ellie, it's time. Whose DGMS wins? Possibly a custom sound. If they're regular, they already have a sound. But, Ellie, for you to get your custom sound, and for this person to get their custom sound, please tell us whose DGMS wins. The winner is Dirk Gently's Magic Service, which I think was Arthur's answer. Dirk Gently's Magic Service. Who said Dirk Gently's Magic Service? That was... That was... Arthur Pendragon. Herbski, you just missed the contest. The most ridiculous contest in the world, but the contest. Arthur, don't you already have a sound now? If Arthur's still here, I think Arthur has a sound. Although I will... If Arthur is not here anymore, I will put a sound... A temporary sound in the place. Ellie J, thank you for being a wonderful host to that contest. So send me a YouTube whisper. Send me a whisper to a link on YouTube or something like that. and I will give you up to 14 seconds of that sound. So just send me a whisper on YouTube of a sound that you would like, and I will grab it. I will do all the work for you. All you have to do is point me in the direction of a video and say, start it here and go until whenever. Thank you. Dorky, girly man. Schwarzenegger. All right, that was fun. I'm glad we had a chance to play a little contest. Brian O is here Brian is a top IFPA player Brian tell me buddy how What should I be shooting for in this particular game What should I be doing to get big scores? If I had to play against you... What should I be shooting for? If anyone in chat has to play against Brian O'Neal in this game, shoot all the things. Wow, that is, you know, that is not something I expected Brian to say. Okay, yeah, so Brian is saying get your Loki locks. Get your Loki locks, kids. Short plunge to get your Loki locks. Take that Loki... Calm down, game. I'm still good, game. That was a big nudge. Alright, so... Oh, I forgot to short plunge that. Get your Loki locks. My locks are all Loki. All my locks are Loki. Funny thing is I learned from Manu. Short plunge. So everybody's on the short plunge train. Okay. Everybody's on the short plunge train. I got it. That's cool. That's a good strat. That just rode itself out. What the heck do the, uh... Uh, what do these targets over here do? Oh man, it's making it so tough for me right now. Oh my god. I think they like mystery, but how do you collect mystery? So... So these two... All right. Big question mark. I think they light Mystery. Pretty sure they stand there. What do they do? I'm pretty sure they stand there. Agents of Shield. Yeah, Agents of Shield. Read the rule card. I didn't bring my glasses, Brian. Complete the shield targets to light Nick Fury. Shoot the Nick Fury target to collect Secrets of S.H.I.E.L.D. Okay Where's Nick Fury on this table? Oh, I see Okay, alright, got it Alright So we're doing this We're shooting these two To shoot that There's Nick Fury We're shooting that to hit that Got it Alright Got it. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is kind of like a mystery award. It's weird because you usually, well I guess sometimes you hit a stand up. You'll either hit a stand up or hit a scoop. Or something. Thank you. So far, so good. What's up, Ping? Hey! We got Squirrel! We got Squirrel! And my extra ball was lit. Oh, when I asked where Mary was I like how I spent $5 to get yelled at by men Well, you gotta learn how to come in a room, bro That squirrel, yeah The squirrel is cool No, not when it drains you like that That's why fiends did that Fiends You son of a... Curse word. You know the sound is in my ear. You know I can hear that stupid stuff. What's up, Jedi? God, fiends! This is the first time I broke 10 million on a stupid game and you pump my ear with a freaking squirrel! I got an extra ball lit, so let's go for that. I love how they make the extra ball so freaking hard to get. No! There we go. If you Black Widow it, you can collect it. Don't try and shoot that saucer by itself. Hell, that's the highest score I've seen on Avengers in a long time. Woo, that was dangerous. Alright, should that be Hulk finally? Thank you! God, it took forever to get friggin' Hulk. So let's slam on Hulk now. That Tesseract is right in the way. Oh, my God. in there, I think. Ah, I did that to myself. The super is lit, and I missed it. How the frack do you hit that whole target all the way back there? Oh my god. How, oh man. How much is that freaking worth? God diggity. That's got to be like a clear shot too I love mind fight though I really do Because that's what we're doing later When I'm walking home and I'm bringing the rig all the way home And I remember that You and I are mind fighting right there I think my all time high was 26 million I was drunkish Hold on tight You know she's a little bit dangerous I don't think Black Knight 2000 is loud enough All right, this might be my high score. This is why I should have bought my Scorbatron. Let's go further through Iron Man, Black Widow, and Captain America. I think Hawkeye is ready. So I got Hulk and Black Widow. Let's do Iron Man and Captain America, see if that'll work. That's a pretty good... No! No! Ryan would have never played that. We got GC on this one. No. GC on this is 200 by... Guess who? No. This is me forcing myself to practice this game. because although I love this game more than the other one I don't give any of them really that much time so there's your GC right there right that's about what's his name and then Matt just had it in his house so Matt just played it forever so you got 114, 104 and 91 I don't know Brian And you ask, Andre is an idiot. I guess he just played forever and ever and ever. I have no clue how he would achieve 200. That last one is Gabe. ETD. I'm not trying to even get on the board on this. Although I could probably get Gabe at some point. He cheats? You think he cheats? You think he cheats? So, maybe he's not just, yeah, distracted by squirrels. Thank you, Dent. Fiends. Brian. Brian. Give me one example. Give me one. I think you're trolling me, but give me one example of how you think Andre would cheat. Just give me one example, because I'm not sure how that would actually happen. Okay, you just messed up. Because I want to cheat that way, too. Like, you know what happens to Andre? And here's what happens Because he's kind of gunning for me Whenever I show a high score now On any game, it doesn't matter where it is He's going to put up a higher one He told me this personally He's like, yeah, I see your score's showing up And I'm like Bro Bro, don't look at my scores Please don't look at my scores I'm like Do not look for my scores I'm not the one you should be coming for. But he's doing it just for fun. Because he knows that I stream. Took the glass off? No. Yeah, no. He cheats by eating three socks of broccoli the night before and then the hands of his criminal assistant. You should try it, man. Bro, all the broccoli in the world is not going to help me. Oh, the struggle is real, guys. Don't play pinball. It's bad for you. Run. Save yourselves. PSA for the kids Can somebody clip that? Somebody should clip that shit Like right now Like MPT3K says Keep going, keep going, keep going. I like those. I don't like that. That was a terrible flip right there. Man, that was a bad flip. That was the opposite what I wanted to do. Thank you. Who is that? Fiends. Thank you. Yo, Brian. Um. I can put it on here. I can take it out of the twilight zone at home. This is, so this is Matt Henry's personal machine. So I know it's not going to go anywhere. I know I'm not going to show up one day and it's going to be gone. So I'm thinking about it. I might put it on here. I'll keep it on here for like, you know, a couple of months or something like that. I don't know. But, yeah, I definitely, like, I'm going to be playing this a lot. This is your brain. This is your brain on pinball. Be better. This is such a great game. This is such a great game. Oh, my God. No one liked this game. Hey, Surreal. What's up, bud? How are you, buddy? Ladies and gentlemen, moderator and all-around amazing person, Surreal7, is in his house. Ping, what's up, Ping? I think I said hi to Ping. Aw, thanks. Waves of cosmic hue and greening surreal. Under the Carl Weathers today, we're doing fine. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, bro. You should get over the Carl Weathers. You should try to get over the Carl Weathers, like an airplane. Now I'm hitting that stupid target in the back now. Even though I couldn't do it before. I'd really love to get control of this damn ball. Oof! Yes! Get those friggin' Thor targets! Hell yeah! Hello everyone, my name is Suriel. How are you? My name is The Real Suriel. My name is The Real. Get those friggin' Thor targets, baby. Oh, get that Hulk ready. That Hulk is ready. Let's see if I can do this. Nope, nope, nope. Is it either Hulk or Loki? It's going to be Hulk. Get that Hulk ready. Alright, here we go. Here we go. Oh, Tesseract, get out of the way. Wow! Wow! Did you guys see that? That was like a quadruple drain. That was a freaking quadruple drain. Damn! That was every drain ever in my life, ever, in one moment. Ever. Guys, this game is so much friggin' fun. I used to play this Huff Pack from, I think it was Hawkeyes and Ken Swift. Really, really sick. Like, so awesome. I need to get that... Ah, I didn't get the atta ball. Damn it. So that wasn't a great low-key. Extra ball. I'm surprised you didn't get one ball. Yeah, I didn't get any balls back on that. Stupidness. Every ball drain. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Okay. I need Iron Man. Bye. . Oohh! Oohh They can play the infamous George Carlin Seven Dirty Words when it's redeemed and the dirty word jar is empty. Oh, that's a good one. We need to talk about B.B. Vint's swear jar. I like the swear jar idea, definitely. I like the swear jar idea. I almost backhanded it. There's a shot that doesn't want to get hit. Alright, we've got Black Widow multiball. I can't work towards Iron Man anymore. So it looks like I gotta hit Black Widow. She's coming back. Ah, I gotta get good at that. Oh, it's back again? Oh, and I just let it friggin' drain like a moron. Now you get it. Yo, that Iron Man shot does not want to get hit today. Oh my god. Oh my god. Are you kidding me? Are you freaking kidding me? Are you freaking kidding me? Patience. Patience. Too much. Too much, game. Too much. Oh, just too much. Too many bricks back there, game. When you collect an Avenger, it will be flashing. Then you qualify the Avenger and start a two-ball multiball. That's like, what, three times a round? That's like three go-rounds on an Avenger. I got time for one more. Wow, these games are long now. Great. I'm so happy I'm learning. I'm learning the Avengers again. Guys, if you want to play this at home, load up Visual Pinball. Download, I think JP Salas has a version of this. Just get the latest version of this on Visual Pinball Universe. Throw the pup pack in. It's even cooler. And if you want to be even cooler, play it in VR. It's exceptionally fun in VR. exceptionally fun in VR. Oh, that was a struggle bus right there, but that's okay. I'm getting there. It's the electric company. All right. Let's see. Let's see. Let me catch up on chat. I just imagined every bit donation removes a swear Nana reads out the swear and then Venkman says oh that's okay we can put it right back there I don't know maybe we'll do that that's doable I'll do that yeah I miss the April talk Jack Danger is there okay Okay. Okay, yeah. So then just don't get the JP one. Get the other one. Get the one that's like, that's straight up, you know, this version. That was quick. Give me another Loki lock. I'll just take another Loki lock. Thank you. I'll just take another Loki letter, I mean, on the Loki pop. Oh, it's still not going to Iron Man, guys. It's still not going to Iron Man. It's saying screw Iron Man now. It just won't do Iron Man anymore. Oh, I hit that switch. Alright, here's my Loki lock. I noticed that Iron Man will be one of the most difficult Iron Man will be one of the most difficult shots to hit. So, try and finish your Iron Man early. Take a Loki lock. Iron Man just needs a Justin Koo pie. You think? You think? Rattle City, man. I gotta ask Matt if it rattles a lot for him. It's Rattle City up in Iron Man Town. Rattle City, baby. And then it comes out real dangerous. What's up, Grit? What up, Grit, my friend? How are you? Welcome to Mr. Pinball Day of the 3000s. We are playing The Avengers. And trying to complete Iron Man before we get into this Loki line. Or at least get Iron Man enough shots to Iron Man. No, no. To make a friggin' difference. I love how Gomez like like hid that shot too that shot is so hidden I am Groot! Alright, that's the first phase of Iron Man. He's not done, trust me. He's not ready. He's not ready. Oh! I'm taking the Loki lock. Way overheated here in Texas? Wow. You've been watching for half an hour? Alright, let's just do it. Love the raging Hulk cam? You got it. Whoo! These multi blows are so stressful. Let's see if we can get that at a ball. Damn it. Oh well. Hello! What up? Polo! What up? What up, Polo? Am I winning? I'm trying to win. I'm trying to win. Iron Man. Every time I get it to the left flipper, I'm going to shoot for Iron Man. How far away from me are we from Hulk? Guys, I might just stay here after I stream and just play this all day. This is so friggin' fun, man. Hi, Mando. Are you winning? Alright, let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Where are we? I need... Boy, that was a terrible Loki. I need Hulk. So... I'm always going to short plunge to go to the skill shot to get more points. I got the... I can't believe I hit that Iron Man. And I think I'm close to another multiball. Maybe on Black Widow Oh crap Oh that was close Oh I Yeah that dude is pretty tall Well that's 10 If my base score is 10 now That's fine. I'm going to do one more. I gots to do one more. This is so addictive. The replay is at 9. Alright, let's go. Let's go. Where's my mouse cursor? I lost my cursor. Attention, my friend. Have you checked your passport? Oh yeah, he's pulling.

Appreciate it. Yeah, it's almost time to go. I gotta get up out of here. Can't wait to see what he walked by. I always thought Hulk was the easier of the two.

I'm already high school famous. Because of my YouTube channel. Kids are like impressed over 20k subs. Trust me, 20k subs is nothing. It's tiny. 20k subs is tiny.
