My hat's off to you. Are we back on? Can you guys see me? Captain, 10 push-ups. All right, Captain could definitely... y'all. I know! We broke the interwebs. So before I do the ten push-ups that, uh, that Captain just purchased, uh, which, by the way, I'm happy I did upper, I did chest yesterday. No, I did legs yesterday. Today was chest.

Um, but I said, somebody mentioned a butcher in, uh, flipping out pinball stream. Oh no, there's 40. Ugh. And I said, you know, you can get a good look at your butcher. Like, silence. Nobody got it. But I know some of you guys would have got it. Dirty Toes, I'm back online. Try refreshing. Cocktologist, welcome to the stream. I have to do 40 push-ups real quick. Uh. Bye. What's this live for? That was not a good idea. I'm going back to main. I ruined it on the little cam. Yeah, all right. And yeah, no stream until one. Nope, you aren't online. Don't panic, Lip. You know, it's weird. I feel like if you're on the phone app, it doesn't handle going on and off very easily. And then beat Tron. Exactly. guys we just beat it we made it to portal i'm so sorry you missed it at that exact moment uh can't repeat it though stream's done we're all fine here all right 40 push-ups thank you so much oh my god two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. All right, doing 20. And then I'll do 20 more later. Sorry. Yeah, hopefully I'm coming through nice and clear now, Caviel. Silky smooth is what I'm going for on sounds now. He's red like a strangely hairy tomato. That's what happens with push-ups. All right. Ball one. I don't know about this head hair look, man. It's cool. It's cool. We're bringing it back. We're bringing it back. Honestly, though, I need a haircut, and I considered shaving it all off again. Like, that way I can do it myself. All right, gem shot coming up. Totally got it. Maybe not. My arms are a little tight right now, I gotta say. uh your hair is past your shoulder blades now dirty toes i believe that i prune my own hair with clippers uh there's no barbers open yeah i need one too okay not your sounds the emote entry set oh i can turn those up hold on that is desktop audio All right, try dropping another emote, like maybe the dab. There you go. Hopefully that's nice and loud now. Oh, you hear nothing. Hold on. I bet I know what that is. Audio. Yep. Alright, try again. Oh my god. Here, try. I don't know. I guess it doesn't want to do it. It might be a timeout. Try a different one. There it is. Now it should be coming through. Now, I think there's a 60 second timeout on emotes. uh i like the whale captain yes Ah, clapping. Okay, cool. Is it there now, though? Shep! Ship! Ah! Ah! Alright, there we go. Ball two on the way! That's a lot of sheep. There's a gem shot And we've got Light cycle lit oh that was just part for the oh my god that is a it's a lot of sheep and a lot of ducks and a lot of dogs that was yes yes oh is that what's happening it's what you guys do I had no idea nay nay yes Pinsomniac that's on streamlabs now it's called the emote wall hackster this game is so ruthless light cycle let's get into Quora here And by let's get into Quora, I mean let's try not to die too quickly. Very nice of them. A little bush. Alright, we got Quora lit. Alright, and Quora. Totally Quora. Obviously got there. There it is. You guys are loving those emotes, huh? All right, little Quora action here. Totally Quora action there. Grrr Quora, here we go 1-2 That did not happen As I said it would Ugh Ah, bummer. I like these. I also really like the interactive stuff. Kind of one of my favorite things about the tech of streaming is how interactive the streams can be. That sucked. Whatever, that was ball three and that was a crappy game. We got this. You can never do this. I know because the trolls would make it to where you couldn't even see the person. Which, honestly, I'm fine with. If you can't see me, you're probably having a lot of fun. Alright, let's go for gem off the bat. Nice and easy quarter gem. Wow I thought I had that Kinda thought I had that! Twitch needs to make a table with Multimorphic so that way the chat chooses which shots he has to hit. That would be a lot of fun. Oh, that was a freebie on the gem shot. Are you guys seeing this? Brutal. Just absolutely brutal. That's coming back down. Ha. And we're listening to Bush. And they have a song called Come Down. That was three balls in a row. The game's just like, out lane, out lane, out lane. You can do nothing. I would so look forward to spending my points to relock them oh my god how awful would that be you finally unlock something then drop all of your points into relocking it that would be fun current thoughts on pinberg gonna get canceled spending points to tilt now that is just flat out there's nothing you can recover from there There's a gem shot. There's a gem shot. Beautiful. That's two gems and a light cycle. All right, I'm cool. And that is Gem Dunzo. Oh. That's fine. Let's complete Gem. Woo! Gem, come on, we got this, we can do it Ah, whatever, Gem started Ah, that sucked Weird, no end of the line I know, also, Coctologist, I was expecting the end of the line jackpot as well So we don't need Gem anymore Uh, we just need Quora and Tron. Looks like we just need the T and Tron. There was a gem shot. It's amazing. I can hit gem whenever I don't need to. T T and Tron Tron targets are over there this is just getting in the way but I am talking right into the microphone How did that not hit? How many more? Two more to start. There's one. Two. All right. And we got Tron done. I'm guessing to complete Tron, we probably just need to re-spell Tron. Tron is done. And now we're out of that multiball, and now we're back in. It's okay, I want that back. All right. Two more shots on the recognizer. one two and it's gonna open and we've got a super just don't drain oh my god the super was right there it was so close just one shot and now it's gone All right, Quora, and then we're in end of line. Quora is done. This game! You guys see what I'm dealing with here, right? What ball is this? Stupid game Oh, we just had a dirty whatever you call that thing We've got a ball stuck behind there Yes! Yes, Quora is done! All right, we're fine here. We're all fine. So Flynn, Zeus, Korra, and then the other one's up top. Dirty Pool. Thank you. Yeah, Dirty Hanky, Dirty Corona, Dirty Dirty. It's a Dirty Pool, right? From Attack from Mars. There we go, Sea of Simulation. That's right, we do still need 20 push-ups, you're right. And I'll... I will get there. All right, 20 push-ups. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, fifteen, twenty. Hey, I heard there's a dirty pool in Adams by hitting the vault scoop while the bookcase is closed. Oh, interesting. I've never been able to do this, though. Maybe, like, when it's closing, it pushes it back there, but it doesn't actually go down the scoop? Bad form. Do them again, Ethan. That is 40. If you want me to do more, you would have to pay for them. I'm not suggesting you do that, though. with stream points. Whew. Oh, 1236. All right, guys. Last game. Ah. Oh! That was looking so good at the start there. Captain, never enough tomfoolery. And everything Howie. Both, welcome to the stream and thank you so much for that follow. There we go. Gem shot number two. Two. I was really surprised it hung in there for a second Is this ball three already? Is this ball three already? That would have been great if we if they actually managed to keep it That so write down them Heh, one more game! One more game! Alright, let's try this again, shall we? Let's go with the freebie. There's a gem. Oh, right into that. That felt good. Good. Light cycle multiball. This is the face of incredulity. Right there. The bricks don't stop! Exactly! I could build a house right now. Don't worry, we didn't see it. Ugh, that! All right. All right. We're cool. We're cool. Let's hit that gem shot. There it is. That was... Is this a new game? I thought I already had two. Apparently, I did not. Here we go. How many more do we need? And... Recognizer! Alright, now it's ready. I'm not going to get that one back, huh? All right, three shots on the recognizer. One. Two. That's not good. Three. And now one in for the super. There it is. We've got the super. Oh wow, we got Ba with the Ba here. Oh no, he's panic flipping. Is that like eight left ramp hits in a row now? The spinning hole is now closed. Spinning hole open. I want to hear his spinning disc. Thank you, Hackster! Table cam froze! Of course! Of course it did! I mean, obviously, because I was killing it! Ha ha ha ha ha! It's been frozen since Ball 1? Oh. Wow, I need to check in more. I'm killing it! Like those off-campus shows! Ah! That's funny. Guys, look! Pinball! Nope. You did not see pinball. I can't end on that. That's awful. Ugh! Alright, one more. One more game. One more. Wow. All right. So the one thing I'm seeing here with the new rubbers is the ball has got a lot of spin on it. All right. I really like the rubbers. Daft Punk! One more game. At first I thought it was triggering OCD, but I've come to love it. Wait, what? The chat has been awesome. Thank you, Pinsomniac. Please explain the Daft Punk. I don't get... No, I don't understand. Daft Punk, one more game. I don't think I said Daft Punk. This game! Always going to be so brutal! Brutal! All right, so we've got Quora lit. That was awful. but whatever because we got into Quora so now we're in dual multiballs I'll take that back Quora's done! We got our gem shot! Whatever. Quora's done. Ha ha ha ha! Uh, and... Gem. Yes, STP is awesome. I don't know what was said about STP, but... If it was that STP is awesome, you will get no arguments from me. that weird angle with the spin on it where it kind of just, oh, I, no, I didn't, we love pinball, wow, that was a really, really awful game again, let's see here, get you a man that stage flips, ah, it's 1249, all right, they're awesome, I mean, we gotta have one good game, right, And we love pinball. Welcome to the stream. Alright, uh... Whatever, that'll work. And I don't know what we need to hit right now. I guess Recognizer. Rinsler is open. And left ramp. Light cycle should... Godsmack alright alright let's see here what's STP Hackster STP is Stone Temple Pilots they're awesome just doesn't go well with that's what you think we're gonna turn this up yes You guys seeing this spin Can John Youssi anything at all Yes okay I got you I got you I sorry I crying It's June. All right. All right. All right, here we go. Left orbit. All right. And new tie. Exactly, Caviel. There is a crazy amount of spin on this, right? Sorry, my wife wanted something from me. I missed the push-ups. Could you do them? I haven't done them yet. So you're lucky. Here we go. Oh. All right, what ball was that? Was that ball one? If that was ball one, I'm not horribly disappointed. Okay, I do the push-ups. Yes, please! Thank you. All right. Got it. Alright, and now we're just playing for funsies. Who plays pinball for funsies? Yeah, sorry, it's been no talking. I was definitely in try-hard mode there. Ah! Paws up. I like that. The recognizer cam should be the push-up cam. I tried turning it around, but it doesn't... It was hard to position. Let's just say that. I keep looking over here, but that's where the camera is. What are we at? We're on ball three. Uh, we need Gem and Quora. Here we go, Quora to Gem. There's Quora. All right, and in Quora, we just need to hit Jhin. All right. Turn. Usually do. All right, chums, I'm ready, guys. Let's do this. Leroy! Somebody just raided. Oh, my God. And if you're joining us, I have not seen who it was yet. that was Doomtoons. Thank you very much for that raid. And Doomtoons, I don't know what you were playing on the other side of that. I hope your stream was amazing. Yes! And we just got... That's fine. We got rid of a ball is what we did, but we just completed Quora and initiated Gem. So if we can do it one more time... Just don't drain. Don't drain. That's the name of this game! Okay. Now we just need to get it in the scoop and we get to our mini wizard mode. And already finished Quora. Okay, Quora to center drain. What? Why would you say Quora to center drain? It's hard to position 2020. That's obviously the way. Yeah. Uh, do we go for the back flip? I feel like that has not been successful. There we go. Yes! Alright, last game, we got to see a simulation. That is either three or four times tonight. Hopefully you guys are actually seeing this and we didn't lose a camera, right? All right, here we go. Quora. By the way, all cams are go. Good. Pinsomniac, what is the shot I can make right now that will give me a gem shot? All cams are go. Yes, and hopefully it goes for more than five seconds. That's what she said. It might be the scoop. Okay. That was the shot! That was the shot! Ah! Nope. Nope! Read screen. No, no, no. I know I needed to hit shoot gem, but I think every single shot in Sea of Simulation, there's a way to hit another shot that is easier, I think, than that shot or just another way of doing it that actually gives you that shot. Nope, have to hit gem for SOS. Yeah. You guys, thank you so much for hanging out. Also, Doom Toons, thank you so much for throwing a raid my direction. I hope your stream was amazing. Hopefully you just raided and then decided to go right to bed and you had a wonderful time. And if you just came over here, sorry that we're ending shortly after the raid. We'll end up raiding somebody else. So y'all have a wonderful evening. It is Monday. My name is George. We will be back streaming again tomorrow night and Thursday. We might try and sneak in maybe some lunchtime streams here in the near future. And you guys be safe. Stay home. Do the thing that keeps everybody healthy, all right? And you guys are awesome. Have a good night. Very nice. All right, guys, we're going to go check out another great streamer, The Stitch. Hang tight for a quick break.
