## Transcript

 🎵 Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Good evening, people. Happy Thanksgiving. My name is George. This show is Don't Panic Flip, and we've got Dice on with us tonight to talk about all kinds of things. My first happens to be, Dice, how is your evening? How was your Thanksgiving? My evening is going absolutely swimmingly. I made sure I got to bed early enough last night so I could wake up early today and fit in the entire Matrix trilogy and the Animatrix while smoking copious amounts of weed before I went to family dinner. Okay. And how was the food? How was the dinner? Like, I want to ask more questions about the Matrix. It was fantastic. Just utterly fantastic. We're not, as a family, we're not generally turkey people, so we always do a ham. And then we had this pineapple bake. It's more of a side that we use instead of a dessert. A dessert was a French Marc Silk tort pie. and then we had the usual fixings, mashed potatoes, biscuits and butter, etc. Right. Similarly, had turkey. I couldn't make the stuffing today. I bought the stuffing thinking it was basically like milk, water, some butter, maybe something like that. No, I've never made stuffing before. And there's like a whole bunch of other things you need to get to add to stuffing. It's really surprising. Yeah, there's a lot of things that goes into it. So we had smashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, just way too much sugar and cinnamon. It tasted awesome. Yeah. Turkey that unfortunately was overcooked, and I followed the directions perfectly, so I blame King Soopers on that one. And let's see, what else? Copious amounts of sweets. I had some Krispy Kreme donuts. We had some pumpkin pie, some cookies that we got from King Soopers, and corn and peas and more turkey. We did a round two. Did you go back for seconds yet? Oh, absolutely. And that's not to omit that you still have an entire house of sweets to make and eat. I do. In fact, what you're referencing there is this, which Zoe said when she remembered at bed that we hadn't gone through and built this house, that she's like, oh, my God, we need to do it tomorrow. So she asked me to pull it out and put it right next to her lucky charms for tomorrow morning. Iron Fox, welcome. And put it right next to her lucky charms so that way, because she gets up before me when I don't have work or like on a weekend. And I think she's planning on continuing to listen to Harry Potter Book Five. So she has that on an audio book. And we just decided that she could listen to it. And we're then going to watch the fifth movie on Christmas Day with her. She has been begging for it for a while. We only just let her, she's eight years old, just let her listen. and then in preparation for her eighth birthday in July and then watch the fourth movie on July 9th, which is her birthday. So we're doing this one on Christmas. And then she's going to have to wait until she turns nine, I think, to watch the sixth movie, which is The Half-Blood Prince. That's semi-par for the course. The first movie came out when I was five, which kicked the resurgence in the books, so we had a couple more of those to read before Chamber of Secrets came out in theaters. But, yeah, I'm kind of weird, as I'm a child who actually literally grew up with Harry Potter, so the ages... Went through a year, two year and a half? I think I was off by like a year and a half. Okay, and you started at five, is that right? Yes, the first movie came out when I was five, so that's when I started with the first book after I saw the movie. Okay. That sounds actually super consistent with, I think, what we did with Zoe. So read her the entire book series, one through seven. By the way, hi, Nail Buster. Hi, pinball princess Jillian. Happy Thanksgiving, guys. And started at five or six, I think was the first movie. And she was immediately allowed to watch both the first and the second one. And that was after listening to us go through the books and kind of hand manipulate things. a little bit just not as good. Actually, when I was at my parents' decompression dinner, there was a Harry Potter marathon on TNT, so this is all very fresh in my memory. Oh, right. Even Chamber of Secrets vs. Sorcerer's Stone was a much darker film. You know, it's still in the third one, I feel like, is the first time where it shifts to young adult, right? Like, Harry's 11, and then he's 12, and then at 13 specifically, for whatever reason, that's the one that I really liked, but I didn't start reading Harry Potter until much older. And that's the shift for me, because there's a werewolf in it. I don't know why. It just ends up getting a little bit darker. The basilisk still seems pretty kiddish. You're still dealing with a lot of silliness with like boys and the girls bathrooms and even in the movies they seem so much older in the third movie I feel like whatever age they were they really grew during that time right like noticeable difference oh absolutely hey Zach Kenny good to see you again we had some fun in the dead flip stream earlier playing a rousing game of would you rather Zach Kenny welcome to the stream so tonight we move things around I'm going to switch over we've got a little Total Nuclear Annihilation and I did not pick Total Nuclear Annihilation because Turkey Nuclear Annihilation sounded so good not it at all I actually chose this game because I believe this is the night that George is going to finally crack Reactor 9 and blow up the universe now granted I don't think I've actually played TNA since the last time we streamed it. It's been the hottest of minutes. It's been a hot minute. I'm excited to see how this is going to go. I've also routed direct audio. I hope the stream... Pinball Princess Jillian, I have not actually beat TNA. She got to reactor 9 and it just didn't happen. Right. It wasn't in the cards that night. is so frustrating. But not really, because it keeps the replayability. You always have something more to go for. That is, you know, and I'm right there with you. And I have had time to think about that. And would it really be that awful to never beat this game? No, I want to beat it. And I really hope I end up keeping it. But I do want to eat some very warm gummy bears. That came up today, actually. My quote? No, that, isn't it, sorry, isn't that from Ferris Bueller? No, that is from the Nickelodeon sitcom or Nickcom, Greg and Josh. Although it very well may have been a hidden reference to Ferris Bueller's Day Off, who at that age, or which at that age, I would not have seen him. Grr, got that last shot to hit. Right, there it goes. She only has to force herself to play some of her older pins. Then it's probably time to swap out the rotation. Yeah, and that's typically my stopping point. Really quick, is anyone getting an echo? because the way I have this dialed in right now, it's not like a stern where you can turn off the game volume but still route it, the volume out. It sounds good? Okay, cool. And I can turn it up if I need to. Turn down the light. Oh, I can mute. No, I don't want to mute it. I just want to reduce it to the headphones. No, okay, cool. So I'm not going to change up the routing. It's a little weird because I have it on a slight delay going. Zach Kenny, thank you for confirming as well. There's a slight delay on the Bluetooth headset I have right now, where it's like half a second. So I can hear the game, and then I can hear it routed through here, and routed through the Bluetooth headphones is delayed about half a second. What's nice is I can push both headphones in and only hear this and you, Dice. So I'm going to stick with that for right now. But what I was getting at is I swap out my games a lot, And when I get to a point where I feel like I'm forcing myself to play it, I'm like, that's it. That's the moment where I'm like, I'm ready to get rid of this game and move on to something else. My barometer is two months. If I can either feel like I've gotten far enough in a game where I'm ready to move on, I will let it keep its position for two months unless I really, really hate it. And then in two months, I'll go back and play. And if it still feels fresh and new and fun and I just needed a break, then I can hang around for a while. Yeah. I get that. I get that. I don't want to have the regret of letting a game go, because this has happened to me a few times where I let it go, and the second it's out the door, you get that little pang in your head, like, man, I wish I could play that game. Well, and Nailbuster asks that, you ever miss a game a month after it's gone? And yes. So, Dice, I'm sure you've experienced exactly what you just said. What's a game you've purchased multiple times, because once you got rid of it, you missed it? it will actually be the second pin coming next week. I just snagged a very nice condition Circus Voltaire. Okay. Circus Voltaire. That game scares me, Phil. It's different. Oh, Pinball Princess Jillian. Yeah, as a massive fan of the show Sopranos, that's been locked down in my collection for a while. And a pin I don't hear could shout it out that much. It really doesn't. Is it going to pop? Yeah. Ah! I thought that was a very good mid-2000s turn that... I mean, I don't know. As a lover of most all things media, maybe it was over-thought how much connector it'd be between the Sopranos fanbase and the Pinball fanbase. But the people that I've talked to that say they love that game, like me, we genuinely love that game. Like, it's just so much fun. Right. Give me that back. Give me that back. Sopranos is the... As a pop culture license, it makes sense, but that's certainly not for everybody, and especially if you have it in some kind of a home environment where either, you know, you can only play it at certain times and you have to censor it and put it on the non-mature mode, it's kind of weird or something. Yep. For me, it's been... Well, I'm not going to count... Wow. That's an awful start. Sorry to cut you off. I saw an opportunity in the head. No, no, no. That was good. It was good. So Tron is probably my worst offender. I've had Ghostbusters twice, and I got rid of it pretty quick afterwards. I don't currently have a want to have it back. Like, it's such a pretty awesome pin. if I have like 10 or 15 pins. It's so mean. It's just one of those games that irritates me and when it irritates me to a certain point I'm like get it out. I don't want to see it in the same way that when I'm role playing and I throw a die and it like rolls too many critical failures I'm like get it out of here. That's a garbage die. I'm throwing it out. I don't care how pretty it is. So it was Tron not Ghostbusters although I did I missed it and then I got it again and then I stopped missing it and I haven't missed it since. Star Trek was a little weird in that I had it, realized I liked it on a temp trade, got the pro, really enjoyed it, but realized what I needed was the consistency of the pop-out on that left drop and really decided what I wanted was the LE. So sold it, ended up finding an LE and got that in-house. So it isn't that I got rid of it missing it. I got rid of it knowing I wanted specifically to upgrade it. Kings of Steel. Wow. For Nintendo Raimi. Kings of Steel, got rid of it. Bad pin, but I'm guessing Nintendo Raimi, you're saying that you still, it's one of those games you miss playing? What else was on the docket? Oh, I was going to tell you about that book series. I was really excited to... Oh, right! There are three books in the series, and it's called Raven's Clip. That's the name of the series, like the whole series, by Jeffrey Huntington. And I read them when I was like 12 years old, and I loved them. But it was one of those things where for some reason, like any holiday where I'd ask... I had a long list of books I'd ask for, and those ones just kind of never got gifted to me. so they kind of just left my memory, and for some reason today, you know, smoking a copious quantity of weed, it just clicked back in my head, and I Googled it, and I was able to pick them up on Amazon for real cheap. Okay, so really quick, what were they called again? The Raven's Cliff book series. Okay. Raven's Cliff. I don't know that one. The first one of the Nightwing. Huh. Uh, so, explain to me what, what, can you give me, like, a premise of it? Because it sounds, it's one of those, like, the book sounds familiar, but I can't find the briefest description I can without spoiling anything. Okay. Uh, okay. Here's the briefest description I can find that should not spoil anything. Every kid fears the monsters in the closet, but for Devon March, the monsters are all too real. At 14, Devon is sent to live at Raven's Cliff, a dark seaside mansion where secrets abound, and the dead just won't stay that way. He learns that he is a sorcerer of the Order of the Nightwing, a 3,000-year-old tradition of mysticism and magic, the roots of which run deep at Raven's Cliff. In a house of mysteries, they'll have to decide quickly who is friend and who is foe. Because Ravencliff's worst nightmare, the madman, is coming back. I'll just burn in hell with him. Nice. Yeah, it's certainly, from what I remember, it would be a little too heavy for Zoe at the age she's at. But it's basically, it's like if you took a demon hunting show and smashed it up with like a good mystery. Okay, okay. So I'm very excited to reread those and see if they're anywhere half as good as I remember. I am really surprised that I missed that shot. flip stream welcome to the stream so like Harry Potter meets Van Helsing okay it's so hard it's a good mystery it's dramatic it's got action got horror supernatural are you seeing this I am very much seeing that that ball had some wicked hang time there dude that ball went full air Jordan. Yes, it did. Wow. Alright, so we've really got to redial these shots back in. This is... This is below mediocre. I can't... That was my first time destroying a reactor in two or three games. Well, you know the old expression, George. You can't make a Thanksgiving dinner without not making an Oreo dessert house. The age-old one. The age-old adage. My grandpa used to say it all the time. Until now, I never knew what he meant, but... But now you know. Kirk Hobbs, welcome to the stream. Okay, I was trying to live catch there. That did not work out very well. Instead, we're going to do that. You know, George, that edit just right up there with the people in glass houses take ships. And don't cross the road if you can't get out of the kitchen. And make like a tree and get the F out of here. Yes, exactly. Oh, I got where you're going with that. All right, let's see if we can hit the start reactor. Nope. We're going to get another try at it right here. You know, there's actually a word for what Doc does in that movie to old idioms. It's called a malifor when you take two of them and mix them together. I did not. It's called a malifor. Is that specific to idioms? M-A-L-A-P-H-O-R. Malifor. Got it. Oh. Is that when you mix multiple metaphors? Yep. Slingstall. Can't shoot that scoop to sit. Zachany Gardner. I occasionally struggle with it as well. Do what I do, George. Just blame the Prince of Pants. I wish I could. I already fell in the bleep. You can blame it. Sure, okay, we'll blame it on... Oh, I didn't actually have any turkey on the seconds. I went back for cookies. I've also had a very strong sweet tooth today. I can't help it. That pork's so short pie. It's just so light and fluffy. Right? All right. One destroy, right? Don't you die on me, Watson. Don't you die. Right there. He's dead, Jim. We're good. We're good. All right. So I really don't like backhanding this target when the first one is up from the right side. I haven't found a spot where it doesn't almost always go down the middle. So what I kind of want to do is get the ball over to the other side. but everything is dangerous right now so I'm just going to try and take an easy stab at hitting that spot right between and unlocking the grid and see if I can get that to happen without going down the middle. That worked out very well. I like what I did there. In fact, Kenny, I wish it was occasional for me. Am I back? You're back. Oh, what happened? Uh, computer went a little wonky there, and all of a sudden my Discord was gone, but... Okay, but you're back. It doesn't even seem like you were gone for that long. Dice is back. Back again. Oh my gosh. Wow. That hit a side just as it was coming out there. So, um, you ended up picking that old book series up. A new Neal Stephenson novel just came out. I'm kind of excited. I have not started it yet. I keep going back and reading more and more Dresden files. It's so good. It's really enjoyable. And I'm just stuck where I keep rereading the last book. Sounds like me in Gravity Falls. Are you re-watching the last season? Uh, yes. There's something you can put on in the background while you're making that Oreo house. Ooh, wait. Can I? Is it kid's safe? I don't, I've only seen two episodes. It was on the Disney Channel, George. Well, that surprisingly doesn't mean as much anymore. That's true, in the very first episode, one of the attractions was Count Crotchella. No, it was the Sass Crotch. The Sass Crotch. Yeah, okay, that's a fair point. Grunkle Stan might be a little... Got it! ...a little much for someone of the younger persuasion. Especially in that second episode with the Gobblewonker. Hey kids, who wants to put on blindfolds and get in my car? Oh no, no, no, no. Ah, man, I was two shots away from getting a free reactor start there. But what's truly important is that you did come to your senses and apologize for your initial lukewarm review, and you actually made it two episodes deep. I made it two episodes, well, I made it two episodes in the first time. I don't know why I missed out on a lot of the more subtle jokes than that. Yeah, that's probably not something to have on in the background. It's like an ogre or an onion. There's layers to it. Right. I've got to remember to keep pushing these in. They keep falling out. Very irritating. I told you to use crash tape. That's frustrating. I really wanted to start that third on the first ball. You know, try and do that average three reactors. Red Viper. Thank you. Did I live catch? If I did, it was obviously 100% intentional. Our live catches here work 60% of the time? 100%. 100% of the time. And they smell like gasoline. Oh, your earbud. The live catch with your earbud is going to slip out. Oh, thank you. Yeah, no, no, no. That was the... I agree. I play a lot of catch. Livestream! Got that extra ball. Yeah, so I put them in, and then I turn them, and they still fall out. I don't... I think they're just poorly designed. That is such an engineer thing to say. I think... That sucks. Look at that. laid up. I got that. I'm wasting my extra ball right now. Still on ball two. As long as you're not wasting your extra ball. That I would not do. Alright, calm down, George. Control. Control. You must hear control. Nice. Uh... Quipstream wants to know if they have multiple insert pad sizes. You may need to go up a step if they're still loose. Sorry, insert pads? Oh! Yeah, those are the rubber cheeks. Yeah. No idea what's going on here. Metal Knight Man, do it! And happy turkey, happy turkey-ness to you as well, Metal Knight. Yeah! Oh, they do have multiple insert pads. Do you think I need to go up? If they're falling out, yeah. You need to be able to fill up more space within your ear holes. Okay. I'm going to try and do the over-under and hit this right orbit. That worked out way too well. Alright. Now I'm going to try and backhand. Totally worked. I'm going to try that again. There it is. That much? Just go. No! Now, now, now, now, now! That's going to tilt us out, I think. Uh, we're looking okay. maybe it might still tilt us out if you remember this tilt bob is really weird this tilt bob there is a tilt bob yes based out of Chicago we know tilt bob all right let's hit that shot and oh no well you know what they say George sometimes you eat the bar sometimes the ball reach you. They do say that. We're fine. We're fine here. We're fine. C.N.K., welcome to the stream. Who says that? Sam Elliott. Up and around. Lock shot. Yeah! C.N.K., how you doing? Lock shot number two. Let's get right back into this. You know, George, you just can't tell TNA that this aggression won't stand. One time I was taking over at my parents' house and my cousin, we knew she was coming, but we thought she'd knock or ring the doorbell, but she just walked right in. And I almost walked into her as I was walking into the kitchen and without even thinking I said, Hey, this is like a private residence, man. No, no, no. Ow. Fluffer nutter. Oh, mother father. Mother father. Who said that? Oh, you know, Jillian, people say things. People do say things. That's not good. I'll take a mystery. Game over, you win. Save the princess. Magic and mystery, they're part of my history. Give me that back, give me that back, give me the back. That was dirty. It was very dirty, but I'm going to take it. DuckTales, woo! Red Viper says, square the pin. I should, and I will. I will. Zach, thank you so much for that subscription. If you want to re-subscribe for a sweet month, enjoy the ad-previewing, and oh yeah, the host, J.B. Weedy. Welcome back to the podcast. Thank you. Wait, can I? You're wasting your money watching someone else play pinball. You can almost get there. You are wasting your money. Alright. Oh, and this is the one on the fourth where you can only do it on one side. So that's not going anywhere. Yep. Yep. Fine. We can backhand it over here. this is... We're all... Oh, no, we're not. Thunder Digger. It's a weird game. He's so awkward and his voice always has that rasp to it. Excellent question. We should ask him. Watching someone else play Pitbull. Ball saves should last forever. I like that. By the way, that Kenny Garden might have talked to you. Thank you. Thank you. What do I need to do now? I need to get the ball either over to the other side or something else. C and K, how did that clip get made? You can contact Mr. Gottfried at cameo.com if you would like something similar. Yep, that was cameo. He makes a killing on his cameos. he'll stand up. Yeah. Which honestly is probably for the best because he frightens children and adults alike. He's a very unique individual. There's no way that's a person. Oh no. We're fine. We're fine. We're going to get this ball locked and then we're going to plunge hit up top. You went a little Christopher Walken there, George. Oh, no. Oh. No, I can't. I almost tried just on the fly. When girls fly by for the summer. Oh, CMK would like to know if that clip was freestyled from Gilbert, or did you help script it out? So, it was freestyled, actually. Excellent question. Yeah, so I told Gilbert and I sent him a note and I said, hey, I play pinball and people watch me play pinball on Twitch. Can you make fun of them for it? And that's what he came up with. Outlaw Pinball, welcome to the stream. Also, congrats on getting the website up and some video of the new pinball machine you guys are giving away. Uh, yeah, Outlaw. I am entered into that competition. I picked up a couple of shirts, but... You know, it's one of those things where I'm really not expecting to win. Right. Uh, Kurt Hobbs needs to have a serious chat with you, George. Some of these things have been in your case for two to three weeks now. Surely they're not going to take it. They are. They are. Alright. You know, he's only got the newest Stern and the newest Spooky. Get it, get it! How have I not hit the Pop Bumper? Is it? Twice. We're all victims of physics, George. Ooh, C and K popping up with the hard-hitting questions. Which reactor music is the best? Ooh. Um, I mean, the sweetest is obviously Reactor 9, because I've only heard it naturally in the game one time. Uh, Kirk Hobbs just sold My heart just sold a dialed in to get a GNR in two weeks or so. First world problems. Oh, I cannot wait to hear what you think of GNR. A much maligned pin. Not just online, but also just throwing it out there. It's, I think, the worst selling, like the lowest priced JJP pin out there. Everything else has a much higher value. I can pick up a standard Guns N' Roses locally for like $7,500 right now. Oh, well, it looks like you have a little more room in the collection there, George. Don't think for a second that I haven't considered it. I've thought about it. Even if it's just for two weeks. Yeah, the problem is, and that's kind of where I'm at right now, I don't want to get any pins I can't get rid of. And it's been sitting at 7,700 for four weeks, three weeks, even coming up on Christmas on Craigslist locally. That doesn't mean you won't be able to get rid of it, George. It means that they can't get rid of it. That's a fair point. I don't know. I'm trying to think. Everything. No, I don't think I could get rid of Ultraman right now. after putting two knights in on it no i don't think so well i i'm just it's a brand new pin and and i i don't think i could get rid of it uh kirk hobbs has been watching the high-e pinball stream and that guy i'm always kirk he plays too well and that five hits me in a good way I mean, Carl is amazing, and on top of that, such a nice dude. But he's an amazing player. Uh, Brolin, Brolin Pinhead, this game moves too fast for my brain most of the time. Don't, don't do it, don't do it, we're good. Don't tilt, please don't. Oh, you did the thing. Oh wow, I was so crooked. Well, you are a part of Big Pinball. It makes sense. Boof! Welcome to the stream. Let's see here. What was the last of the developers, George? What is it doing? Zach Kenny. Pocket of the developers. Zach Kenny, what are your initials? I'm guessing it's ZKG. I'm going to start putting that in, but you're in here. Exactly. Let's stream. We're going to fight Big Pinball. trickle down pinball doesn't work DKG I like that I went the wrong way like I haven't talked to Zach about it but I think that'd be really funny as a t-shirt for TPN trickle down pinball doesn't work Zach thank you again I think I think that shirt might work Yeah, Lipstream has been saying that for a while. He plays too well. I think Zach would really like it. He has a tremendous sense of humor about these things. Especially since we're basically referring to him as Big Pinball. Yep. Yeah, great sense of humor. You should get a Wonka. He's had that game for six months. That's spectacular to them, especially with the new code. All right. What if the sum of us TPN is Big Pinball? Jillian, that's what Big Pinball is. That's what we're playing. Yeah. That. I don't want Player 3. Let me read Jillian in on it. We're going to be trending on Twitter tonight, boys. If we can get Elon Musk to retweet hashtag fight Big Pinball. Oh, that's the microphone. That's actually right there. I probably shouldn't hit that. That's my croffiny, George, the Greek goddess of voice amplification. My croffiny. I like that. That's actually really well said. It's not big pinball. I think it's hilarious. And I don't know. Maybe it is big pinball. I'm not sure what it is. But I got to say, I really enjoy being a part of the network. The people are very cool. They're very into the hobby and having the ability to easily chat with all of these individuals who are typically a big part of the community is great. A really good example is Eric from Straight Down the Middle. Not somebody I'd probably ever get the opportunity to chat with. And not only do I have that through TPN, but I was able to get him on a stream and have him walk me through so much about S.T.A.R.S. that I have never known. Like, that S.T.A.R.S. is a game I, not only do I enjoy and I think it's gorgeous, and I also want to go through the, actually, I want Paul, extra Paul to go through and upgrade it for me with a new play field. but I want to get good at it I want that to be the I look forward to playing it when I take a break and I'm like I'm going to play some pinball that's my go-to still right now is Stern Stars and that's without the and that's without the upgrade that adds complexity to the rule set that you can get I still want to pick on you right now but I can't do it in chat It will not come off well. Pinball Princess Jillian. I'm, I'm, what's the, there's a phrase for when you have a, nope, I never, I cannot remember the word. But, like, you can, you can be in a place where you can take criticism or you can be in a place where you can't take criticism. And I had a great day, so I can totally take criticism. Roman Pin would like to see a walkthrough of the home arcade. Oh, Roman Pinball. It's been a minute since we did one of those for the newer folk. It is. What did that even hit? Jezebel says ego strength? Ego strength, yes! Oh my god, no! Is the person who introduced me to the concept of ego strength, which I can never remember. Anyway, I'm at high ego strength today. And let me, I have to set up a scene. while you're setting up that scene can we please mention your friend that ran a professional running event with you today threw up and then someone sat in it alright so speaking of Janelle DeBell so there was three of us this morning it was 17 degrees when we left the house it was a 9 o'clock turkey foxtrot 17 degrees and it was a 4 mile run today let's just Let's just go here. Four mile run, first thing in the morning. Get there, freezing my butt off. I feel unprepared. I have, I've never jogged four miles. I've done a bunch of 5Ks. I've never gone past a 5K, except like a little, 0.1 or 0.2. Never a full four miles. And wow, A. B, I haven't seen my time, but I think I got a really good time. I finished, then my friend Deb finished, and then Janelle, who's in the stream right now, finished shortly thereafter. And Janelle crossed through. We took a bunch of pictures. It's weird, too, because she was wearing clothing and a purple jacket. And she took the purple jacket off because apparently she got too hot at some point and wrapped it around. Well, there was a person right behind her that looked exactly like her with her purple jacket. So when Deb said, oh, here's Janelle, I got my camera out to take a picture, and I focused on the person behind Janelle. So when Janelle came up, and she put her hand up for a second like this, and then ran back behind me, I was really surprised, because I was looking at this other person, wondering why this other person wasn't looking over by us. I'm just waving at them, and she's a few feet away and not even looking at me. It just happened to be a borderline doppelganger situation. And then suddenly I see Janelle, who just finished running four miles, huff it over back behind me, about six feet behind, and unfortunately throw up. Really common. After I got done, because I pushed it for the last mile, I almost did the same thing. And she got done. We're like, hey, are you okay? And there's a lot of people in this area, right? And where she threw up happened to be like a very small gap in the middle of the street in downtown Fort Collins. and there was a lot of people standing up or sitting down to the left and right of her. You know, people moved out of the way a bit when it was happening. But when she got done, there was a guy who obviously was looking for a seat. And when the seat opened up, he didn't know what just happened. So he immediately, like, are you going to, and just gets down and sits right down in the grass on that exact spot. And it was great because we kept, for whatever reason, reiterating that story. I think like two or three more times. And every time I did, I would like look up or say something like as I was laughing. And that guy would be just for you to handle on your own. 30 toes. Hi. And he would be within like listening distance. And he would just look. He wasn't happy about the situation as we were recounting it multiple times. But he was always there. As we're like walking around trying to make our way back to Starbucks, He happened to be walking ahead of us a little bit, and I didn't notice as I was recounting the story. So anyway, long story long, that was really fun first thing this morning. TLDR. Sorry, TLDR? What does that stand for? Too Long Didn't Read. It means, give me the cliff notes, get to the point. Got it. that's a use in online terminology and it is incredibly rude but it is used for comedic effect a lot too TLD, wow I have seen that acronym a lot and I don't think I've ever looked it up I feel like it's good often it's hilarious Kirk Hobbs, I have no idea Joe Soap, yeah, he's probably in the stream listening at this point. And I'm so sorry if that's the case, but it was worth it. And I took pictures, and I posted it to the Discord because I took pictures of Janelle throwing up, which is great. And I posted the picture of all of us happy, the picture of Janelle throwing up, and then the picture of the guy sitting in bed. Exactly. It was great. Too long, didn't read. Okay. Stream is right. It's usually paragraphs of text. Like when you try to look up a recipe online and they tell you their whole story behind it, that's Tildr. Okay. Like just get to the recipe, get to the point. Got it. It's not weird to hear about how much you loved it when your grandma made this. Just tell me how to make it. All right. So I am going to – you guys are going to have to bear with me here a second. I'm going to make a scene, but not that kind of scene. We're going to call this one... Make that, Gene George. Nope, I've got to go dash, dash. Asset, this is going to be called Droidcam. Janelle's thinking you are sub-30 minutes. Roman, oh yeah, I'm sure Janelle was very thankful George took those pictures. And what's it because his gut is experiencing total nuclear annihilation? It's Droidcam OBS. Got it. And Flipstream says, land the plane. And the IP is 10.0.0.232. That's exactly Flipstream. Tilder, land the plane. Okay. And I don't have sound turned on, so I don't think you guys have... I'm certainly not. You don't have an echo. Okay, good. Then the next thing I need to do is figure out how to downgrade the... Oh, I've got it set at 1080. I wonder, guys bear with me a second. Continue bearing with me a second, I should say. I'm gonna go back in here, and go to properties. Nope, I can't, oh I can deactivate, switch this to 720, and then activate, and then allow hardware acceleration Okay Here we go This should be a good speed Lower res. All right, so what do we got going on here? Somebody asked for a walkthrough. We've got this beautiful Godzilla here. All right. Somebody was Broman Pinhead. Broman Pinhead. So we've got this. We've got total nuclear annihilation. We've got this game over here that I have been working furiously to get better at, and I still suck. Oh, is that the Arcade 1-Up model? Yeah, the Arcade 1-Up Defender. I love their work. They do a really good job. What I needed, though, was a specific Defender version because Defender has a really unique button layout. So that's the key component I was missing here. And then going over here, we have Astern Stars. we have a beautiful Ultraman. Oh my God, how awesome was it to have Matt Zilla in the chat the other night? That was so fun. He's a nice guy, very humble. Yeah. Star Trek, Ellie over here. God, I love this. Oh, yeah, and you can see that really cool hardware or armor on the outside. And then finally, we've got a... It's a torpedo! Yeah. And Tron's just such a pretty game, too. Say it again? I said Tron's just such a pretty game, too. It's gorgeous. It's definitely the right kind of snow cone, it looks like. Alright, switching back up to chatting. I can get rid of this. Outlaw would like to know, how do you like the anti-fatigue meth? Oh, that's not what this is, I think. Outlaws. This is, um, I'm using it as one because, here, so it's this stern thing. It's honestly just a tiny rubber mat. It happens to be the same size as the glass. So I think what this is meant to be is a cover. But nobody wants, I want to see the pinball machines. Why would I cover it up? I'm not doing that. Some people have a lot of windows and that could lead to sun damage. Oh. Okay. I like where your head's at. well I can tell you from experience George I have like 20 of those that's why 20 windows oh you have 20 of the covers got it okay yeah got it question of the day how you like the answer you have a cat up there I'm so grateful for the flattering photos of my behind wearing two pairs of pants sarcasm ha yeah none of us look good while we were running in 18 degrees this morning. Well, it's not the first time, George. You already took that from the back picture of her pinball stance. Yeah, but, I mean, she was wearing a skirt then. It didn't look bad. I agree that the angle was funky, but she didn't look bad in that picture. And... I'm stepping up with the hard questions. This is belt, flip, and torch. Ultraman, Star Trek, and Tron. You have to put one in torch one. Okay. Torch, Ultraman, no question. It's, I would argue, some of the best artwork. They're all right on top of each other. Like, so, Star Trek, actually, Star Trek is... Oh, yeah, yeah, I guess. Yeah. Tron could probably go for 12 or 13 at this point. Star Trek, probably about the same. Ultraman, the least. I don't think I could get rid of it for $8,500. Oh yeah, Broman, Star Trek Pro is fun but it's not a lot of fun to own when you know all the goodies that come with the other ones It's amazing The Star Trek LE and the vaulted edition of the premium of Star Trek are awesome So Torch Ultraman Bolt Star Trek Fliptron and I struggle with that because I want I like both of these games I am really enjoying Tron right now. Oh, flipstream. I thought you meant STF and Star Trek. Stranger Things is gone already. Mm-hmm. Yep, Stranger Things is gone. Much to my chagrin, because George never beat it. I did not. You know what? I think I'll probably end up getting that game again. And you really did get the gist of it anyway, and you did give it a fair shake, which I was very appreciative of, because especially when it first came out, I seem to be one of the only people championing it. Championing it. You and, uh, what's his face? And Zach from TPM. Oh, yeah, I was in the same boat. Yep. It's, uh, very solid. He sold his. Greg Bone had that seller's remorse. Yep. Oh, wow, I missed that. Okay, so now Flipstream is swapping it out with Star Trek but still not changing the order Okay, okay So you're going to flip Star Trek Burn Ultraman Burn Ult, yep Very similar to what I described, just a swap on Tron and Star Trek Flipstream says the aluminum foil balls really sell the Star Trek le It could be better. It's a good fan layout. Simple and fun to try and master. Exactly. Classic example of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Outlaw Pinball. Stranger Things is on my shortlist now. I feel I could trade my JP Pro for one. It's not a popular opinion, but I will take a Stranger Things over a JP Pro any day. That is a really unpopular opinion. Shooter McD just traded in Avengers for Stranger Things Premium and OMG amazing oh my god George I feel like a proud parent people are finally liking my game now Shooter now yeah Shooter Shooter I've done trades with here locally and did you are you able did you disable telekinesis lock or did you were you able to get it consistent because that to me sorry Shooter Okay, I'm like, didn't have a problem with that, George. I know that you haven't had a problem with it, but the majority of everyone else out there, like you, Eric, from straight down the middle, and maybe one other person. We've got like the three good ones. Yeah, exactly. Oh, well, I had the JP Premium coming, but that's the only reason they get rid of the Pro. Oh, yeah, if you have a Premium JP coming, and me, now as a fan of JP, I'll still take the Premium over the Pro. If I could get a premium, if I had purchased a premium before they went up to like 10 grand, I think I would have done the premium. Colorado Paul just traded Avengers for Black Knight Sword of Rage and seems very happy with it. Wait. That's from CMK. Colorado Paul just traded Avengers for Black Knight Sword of Rage and seems very happy with it. Yeah, I think so. I'm just not a fan of Avengers. I've made my opinion very clear. Thank you. Shoot McPhee followed Chuck's Pinside Guide, fantastic guide, to dial it in, and so far, so good. My personal attorney, Saul Mennoniteman, needs a Black Knight Sword of Rage and a Godzilla, and we have a first-time chat from viewer Rankill. I have my TK disabled on ST Premium. It's so annoying to get it consistent, I just gave up. Yep. I'm sorry to hear that, Ranko. Also not sure how hard the ramp shot's supposed to be. Talked to Stern about it, and I have the updated ramp. It's seriously like 5% shot success. Oh, on the Demogorgon's mouth? There's certainly a flow, at least from the few different ones that I've played, that you really got to lock into. And it is adjustable. It is adjustable. Outlaw Pinball didn't care for Avengers Pro, but really enjoyed the premium at Expo. Yeah, there seems to be a lot of premium love going around tonight, when the pro just kind of seems naked without the extras. It does, but I'll take the pro. If I ever do it again, I'll do only the pro. Flipstream had Avengers Premium. Roundabout kind of way sold it for Godzilla. Okay. And Rankale hasn't done any height adjustment on the ramp yet, but that's the next thing. Yeah, Rankale, try that out. And shooting the D needs to adjust the Demogorgon's multi-shot. Yep. Man, it'd be so much easier to beat that game, because every time I completed everything, what I had left was the Demogorgon. So if it was easier or more consistent to hit that shot, meaning you were just essentially lining up your shot to the middle and it consistently went in with a nice strong shot, I think that game would be so much easier to beat. T and K, that is a Godzilla premium. No, it's not. Really? I thought you ordered both and then gave back the Pro. No, I ordered the Pro and the LE and gave back the Pro. Oh, okay. That's an LE. Yep. Limited. Welcome to the future. Yeah. Just call. Call in the next five minutes and we'll throw in another one for free. Just pay for processing and handling. I mean, that was a total flex moment, but I'm very proud of this Ellie over here. That is the first time I've ever purchased an Ellie Nguyen box, and I feel like I nailed it. I mean, I was very upfront with you about Stranger Things when I got it. I'm like, oh, I am getting that limited edition. Oh, yeah. Oh, man, I really like the limited edition on Stranger Things. Oh, as soon as I pulled it out of the box. I remember it because you were streaming the day after I acquired it, and you're like, hey, how's it going? And I'm typing in chat, and I'm hungover, and I'm like, so I did something last night. Oh, wow, yeah, I do remember that. I had gone out to some Mexican place with some friends, after we ate, went to the bar, and we did some tequila shots. And then we did some tequila shots. Anyway, about an hour and a half later, I called my local distributor right before they closed, and I got one, went home. Apparently my friends either helped me set it up or I managed to set it up by myself, completely blasted. And then the following morning, with a massive hangover, I walked down to the game room, and at first I saw an empty box but didn't see what was on it, and I'm like, huh, that's weird. and then I walked in and I saw a Stranger Things collector's edition sitting there and I'm like, oh no. I knew I was going to get one. I had not planned to get one that night. Right, right. No, no, no. The first time I think I had even heard of someone drunk purchasing a pinball machine, mind you. Yeah, we called our buddy with a truck to pick us up because the distributor is about half a block away from the Mexican place and he's like, thankfully he was able to come get it. Yeah, not only did I purchase one, but I set one up and put games on it, woke up the next morning and forgot all of it. So in a way it was kind of fun, even though it was my second time on it, it was like it was the first time all over again. Outlaw Pinball typically just ordered drunk orders food, I get that. So CNK wants to see the artwork again. I need to take pictures of the side art on Godzilla, because it's amazing. It's like, um, in Magic the Gathering, there's foil cards, and the artwork on the side of Godzilla is super foily. So, I'm gonna, uh, let's see. Yeah, Rankill, in 2021, the distributor having Ellie's in stock, that's really not gonna happen, but at the tail end of 2019, it was uncommon, but it wasn't unheard of, and thankfully he had one, and I left All right. Scenes going black. Just be patient. I'm adding... What I did was I created, like, an asset scene, but now I'm creating a scene scene to do things correctly so that way Manu doesn't get mad at me. Okay. Probably should have had Droid Cam up and running. There we go. Yeah, Rank Hill. I don't even usually go to that distributor. I just, something in my very tequila-addled brain just wanted to go and see if he had a Stranger Things LE, and he had one right there. And this is going to sound like an incredibly weird flex, but I actually made good friends with him later. We still laugh about this story. But apparently I was the first person to walk in there and buy an LE and pay in cash. Oh, wow. Okay. First time for everything. And then you get that beautiful gray with the sparkles on it armor. It's funny because when I first saw the gray, I'm like, really? You went with gray? But it works with the pin. It works really, really well. Wow. Puff, puff, give. So, CNK, was there anything else specifically you wanted to see? Uh, someone said earlier they wanted you to take us to the fridge because it's been a while. Alright, that's fine. Been a while. So, we've got some sangria. We've got gin and tonics back here. Some hard seltzer. We've got some cave-in jack. down here more G&Ts we've got some funky strawberry cotton candy sours we've got some blackberry and peach flavored meridian hives and then it's kind of hard to see here but we have agave syrup grenadine triple sec simple syrup and what's this one back here and peach syrup Flipstream says it's called metallic flake, George, not sparkles. I mean, you say potato, I say sparkles. I say tomato, you say how'd you get in my house. Trill's here. Trill, no butterscotch? No butter. Oh, I do have butterscotch. Check this out. It's real. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Zach, we're going to do... Zach, you're saying that's a lot of alcohol? I've seen that fridge more full. It has been much more full. So we've also got the Colorado rye. We've got some of this piggyback whistle pig. And if Mr. Scoot was here right now, I just got him one of those. So we could both enjoy some of that piggyback together. We've still got DiSterano vodka. We have some whipped cream vodka over here. And what stream we have been over this? We tried to convince him he's just never going to make his own simple syrup. Oh, there it is. And somebody said, do you have butterscotch? I have butter shots. I'm not going to make my own. And I haven't cracked it open yet, but I have some of the best Bloody Mary mix made by the real Bill, who makes pickles. So it's a pickle-flavored Bloody Mary mix that is ultra-spicy and very chunky, which is exactly my favorite. It's so good. Surreal says, rye sounds good right about now. uh rankill said also on your spooky fan club thing you can peel off the paper backing on that to make it fully transparent really hmm a flip stream i've explained it to him so many times that it's just sugar and water to make your own simple syrup the man would rather just buy it i'm done beating a dead horse with another dead horse well wait a second after you guys told me i could just make it i i went and bought this. Hold up. I need a thing for this now, so go back to... Nope. Mobile. Brain Kill says it's just the protective backing on it from when they laser cut it. There's another five bottles of simple syrup up here. We have Fee Foam, Lime Juice, additional grenadine syrup, and who's this man? Oh, and things are not like the others. All of the sprinkles for whenever I can actually get cream soda. It's weird. I can't find cream soda in bottles in Fort Collins right now. There's like a shortage of cream soda. Do you need me to send you some, George? We have loads. It's mind-blowing. um it's just protective backing yeah ran kill i just went and looked at it you're absolutely right it's protective backing like on uh sorry i don't mean to keep touching the mic uh like when you buy um the etched plastic uh from this it all has the protective backing on it so yeah and speaking about drinks uh mr dice what are you drinking this evening I am drinking I made a large batch of these today a lovely pineapple coconut margarita ooh god that sounds amazing even though I said earlier I was also going to have a margarita just while we were in the fridge I went ahead and grabbed one of these because that's what I really wanted which is a woodchuck sangria these are so good and Iron Fox thanks for hanging out for the tour it's really small So I can give you the entire tour in just a minute. Flipstream. Lime juice from concentrate? You know that's just limes, right? It's less ingredients than simple syrup. It was less money than buying actual limes. Flipstream. Like that bottle was $2 a page. If you don't use them. There you go. I got a lime today. It's the first lime I've had to purchase in a while because I've had so much lime juice already from concentrate. And thanks for that fruit, Stuart George. That reminded me of something else I have to add to the list of when I eventually make my way to Fort Collins. Which is? Oh, I'm bringing you a meadhorn. I'm sorry, a meathorn. Mead, the drink? Oh, meadhorn. Got it. Okay, cool. No, no, no. I'm all in. I was actually kind of in on a meathorn. I just didn't know what it was. Yeah, like what the Vikings drank it out of. Okay, a mead horn. Got it. Lion and lemon juice is awesome to buy. Totally worth it versus juicing the fruit if you're putting it in drinks. There we go. Thank you. Wait, is it ran-kill, ram-kill, or rain-kill? Joseph says, I had you at mead. uh nope i gotta stop again that sucks we've uh we've lost if you if you notice here uh this is just on the newest version of the firmware uh i i've lost light uh pinball printer jillian i guess you could technically say that because i am a self-professed complete addict to uh the food channel and the cooking network there you go yes i love watching barbecue shows, so if that's your version of meat porn, yes, I am in. I'm trying to think of... There's other types. Ooh, organizational porn, I guess, would be another type of non-porn porn that I'm interested in watching. Rankill calls it Rankill. Honestly has no idea how to pronounce it. It's from a Dragon Lace short story. Full name is Rankill of Istar. a dragonlance short story okay so you know i've gone through uh the what is it like six books of dragonlance i think it was or maybe it was three books the ones that mercedes not mercedes um sorry the two authors worked together on the the first three books of the dragonlance series and then i think they they went back and did like a prequel three books and then i jumped into ari salvator and Drizzit and totally lost track of things. But OCD porn? Pinball Princess Jillian, like the DVD logo, doing that bouncing and going around until finally it hits that spot and hits the corner just perfectly. I noticed when you said prequel, you put a really heavy emphasis on the quell. A prequel. Did I say a prequel? I would normally put it on the prequel. You did. You did. Like, they were set to quell, but this is what they did pre-quel. Pre-quel. It's from the book Reign of Iztar. That's got a collection of short stories. My buddy was super into the book, and that was just the only one I bought as a kid. Okay. So it's Randkill. I like watching Japanese woodworking, joint making. Surreal. I've actually, it comes up often on my Facebook videos of like things to watch, is them making the joints that somehow like, you make a hole in a piece of wood and you drill it out on the other side and you, yeah, anyway. I also really like it when things come together just perfectly. You know what I've been watching recently? I've gotten into glass blowing streams. Okay. I did that for a while. I did that for a while. I did that for a while. Mozz's, pipe bongs, things like that. But just to watch them go through this process and just have a side conversation while we're doing it, it's just so relaxing. It's kind of good. Now, are you watching the competition stuff or just the relaxing, like, just watching people do it? No, I'm just hanging out and making stuff. Although I did watch Forged in Glass on Netflix. That was a great show. Yeah, it was pretty cool. Surreal says it's impressive Surreal does a lot of woodworking and it's definitely a skill of all the skills that's one of them ow oh out of all the things you could ever know that sure is one of them I just really wanted to say that it's a dice-ism it feels good it shouldn't but it just feels good oh thank you Iron Fox that's appreciated good you didn't see that we got our lights back though so that's always a positive it's impressive I do a lot of work it's definitely right next time Iron Fox you can use exclamation point problem I thought only mods could do that oh yeah good point I think that's actually the case We would have figured it out eventually. Yeah. I can't hit that last shot. There you go. Thank you, Surreal. There you go. Surreal's on it. Oh, I did... This is coming in a little late, but I did actually come prepared for the question of the night. I think it's broad enough that everyone may or may not have an answer. between Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, and anyone else running any kind of deals this weekend, is there something you're very excited about to be picking up at a good price? No. Literally, I have nothing I'm looking for right now. I'd take it back. Not going to buy a GNR pinball machine off of Graceless? Nope. Not going to buy GNR. I did just use the 10% off at Titan Pinball to get all new flippers for all of my games. uh, flipper rubbers for all of my games. Uh, Zach says, Steve's steam sales were always great. And Jillian says there's a 20% off at Titan, over 50 bucks. There you go. So I got 10% because I got all new flipper rubbers, and I got the standard non-bouncy ones, and I got all color-appropriate ones for everything. And it was only $29, so I didn't get used to 20% off. Surreal might look for a DSLR camera. I may end up buying something like that for Zoe for Christmas. She is really enjoying recording videos, but it's such a pain in the butt for me to pull my cameras off the tripods and all the equipment I have them on that I'm, like, hesitant to do it. Let's see. Jillian had to add more onto her order so she could save money. Go ahead. I went onto Titan and I looked. I did the exact same thing, Jillian. I tried. I tried to buy more, and I couldn't think of anything. Like, I even looked at the shirts. The only thing I'm really looking at is I'm ready for a TV upgrade. It's time. So I'm looking at an 82-inch 4K TV. Okay. 84 inches. Now, are you doing the new cool OLED, whatever is after OLED, which has, I don't know, higher color stuff. I obviously don't know anything about television. It's a 4K Crystal UHD 82-inch TV. Okay. I can... I don't have enough room for that. You can finally get some tilt, Bob George. I have tilted out twice tonight, so they're there. C&K may suggest buying Palomino Blackwing pencils at about $5 per pencil not only is it a most expensive pencil but they have L, E, and C stuff too wait, what's up with the pencils? C&K suggests buying Palomino Blackwing pencils at about $5 per pencil not only is it a most expensive pencil but they have L, E, and C stuff too I think he was referring to Titan and needing to add more to your cart. Oh, got it. Huh. I looked at shirts. I thought about getting the pad. They have a Titan pad that you can play on. Brian Kale, I've already done my research on said TV, so I know it's the one I'm going with. And it's Samsung. It's a TV brand I really trust. I also trust Samsung pretty well Jillian says she's got two of those pads they are three dollar signs and one dollar sign to ship yeah the shipping from Titan is kind of ridiculous I got I'm guessing it was 20 rubbers and it was $15 to ship it I spent $29 on stuff and it was $15 to ship that's insane uh cnk for the guys that have everything they need a good pencil uh I'll just say that cnk since I'm actually very specific about the types of pens that I use uh I'm curious oh okay what yeah sorry I'm curious what kind of pens do you go with because I'm also very particular about the pens I use I only use Pilot G2 gel roller pens? I was about to say, are they the Pilot? Because I only use Pilot pens. They're just for smooth. They are. It's loser kid. It's like a piece of art for your hand. I love the description. I love everything you're saying right now. We're going to try the under... Sorry, go ahead. No, it's yours for you. You go ahead. Alright. you're more enjoyable to listen to i feel like so you i don't even know what i was going to say anymore i happen to look up and see pinball princess jillian also uses those same pencils and looking like the boss as always i have no pencil thank you rank it was team thick Team Vic, the pilot G2. I like the fine tip pilot. I don't know which one. I don't know what the name is called. Uh, C and K, yes. I am team G2. That's, uh, it's got, it's not the fatter tip. It's like an average pen tip. I'm constantly re-upping on multi-packs of those from Amazon. The multi-color pack. I love that everybody is really into pilots. It's worth the premium price. Rankild has a space pen they like for Electric Daisy Carnival because of how small it is. The cap goes on the bag and makes it full length. I can't believe I'm still using that wooden number two pencil. Wow. Wooden number twos, man. That brings me back to the, like, Scantron-style tats that I used to have to take all the time. You got to color in that circle just perfectly. Captain Spam, welcome to the stream. Not so much on pens, but still stand by the Pentel Quicker Clicker for pencils. Ah, first-time chat from TC underscore punk. Welcome in. Back with you have to have to turn in your homework and cursive. The Pilot G2 is a must. Oh, it just makes every signature gorgeous. It does. It really does. And the different amount of colors you can get makes it fun for me. I remember at one point spending way too much money when I didn't have it on a bunch of pens. Because I didn't like... I really enjoy writing, but I don't like writing on a computer. At least for a bit there, I didn't like writing on a computer. Pinball Princess Jolyon loves Scranton. It was easy to cheat, I mean hack, I mean, nice Carl Weathers. Oh, Scantron. Sorry, can you tell I've been re-watching The Office? Now, somebody else kind of really enjoys writing too. Dice, when are we going to get an advanced copy of your soon-to-be-published novel. I still need confirmation from you on your current address. You were going to give it to me before you went to Chicago, and then that's kind of... Oh, my God! Dude, I'm sending it to you as soon as I'm done with this ball. Don't let me forget. You're waiting on me to send me your book. That, I feel so awful right now. Easy come, easy go. I see in case there's a whiteout, it's really hard to get off of the screen. Well, that means you bought a good quality whiteout and it's doing its job. Now, I'm curious, Dice, how do you go about writing? Is it on a computer? Do you have like a super clicky keyboard? Please tell me, you have an old school, like, 1980s typewriter that weighs 75 pounds? I actually have three that are even older than that. I have one from the 20s, the 30s, and the 40s. Do you write on those, or are they just show pieces? Oh, yes, I do. Back when my mom was much younger and these things were much more affordable and they weighed 10,000 pounds, she decided she wanted to collect antique typewriters, and then she got three of them. a lot of that, Holly, and then I asked if I could have them, and she's like, go ahead. Okay. But my initial draft is always by pen. Anything past first draft gets typed. But I still write, after I print it, I write all over it with pens, making my own corrections and such. Huh. And that's another huge part of it. Like, when I make edits, I really dislike the editing systems on PDFs or Microsoft Word, where it's, like, off to the side and you can turn them on or turn them off. Like, I want something physical that I can no doubt cross off right in the margins off to the side. Like, I just, I enjoy that entire process too much. Cursive. Sorry, was there such thing as a cursive typewriter? Yes, yes, there was. As you can see, it did not stick around. I mean, in my opinion, cursive shouldn't stick around. But that, by the way, is a very divisive topic. It's, depending on how your handwriting is, it's very pretty to look at. But if you're like me, and since the first time you ever had to actually sign a legal signature, it's just been a decreasing level of quality series of squiggles. oh yeah I mean at this point I just do smiley faces nice your mom has one Rankill has something like 10 custom mechanical keyboards a few they've built but a couple others are pre-made oh Rankill yeah I well you heard me typing into the microphone that one night George I've got that thick clunky black switch mechanical keyboard yes okay and I totally understand that And I even told you my reasoning. When I started in software development, we initially worked in a bullpen, but because they weren't cool on trying to tell people what to do, I just kept bringing in this mechanical keyboard every day until eventually they just gave me my own office. I cannot hit this shot. I have no problem hitting any other time. This is not a difficult shot. I think you need a little more liquid skill, George. I think you're running a little dry in the sipping department. I think you're right. Flipstream just says get a tablet with a pen. Flipstream, I do that for rough cartoon ideas if I don't have a regular pen and David Hankin at hand. Rankill, black switches. You should hear how loud my Fox Navy switches are. But linear and tactile switches lube all of them and clicky I have for all of them. Oh, yeah, it drives me insane when someone applies a mechanical keyboard and they don't keep it clean and lube up the switches. That's bad pony on me. I have never cleaned the switches on a keyboard. I just buy a new keyboard. Why? Weird flex, but alright. Well, it's just that I never need to. I feel like other stuff wears out on the keyboard before I actually need to clean out the switches. That was horrific. You don't have to, but it just makes it so much swifter. CNK wants to know if you wrote a Where's Waldo style book. CNK, no, it is definitely an op-ed. I think my final cut with publishing intro, thank you, all that, It came out to about 432 pages. Dang. I found the shot again. I need to send you my address. But I, Space Big, I blame you, though, because you weren't supposed to let me forget. Pinball Princess Jillian always buys a new one. They never feel the same after the dishwasher. Old school. Oh, that should horrify me, but it's just funny. No, no, no. You used to be able to absolutely clean keyboards in the dishwasher. That was a thing? Oh, yeah. Absolutely a thing. You couldn't just take the keys off and clean them? Yeah, you could. In the dishwasher. Pinball Princess Jillian, back me up here. Back me up here. You damn millennials. Ha! Okay, fake boomer. It's true. Oh, yeah, it's true. Just like how everyone knows that there's no such thing as North Dakota, and it's all really just one big Dakota because there's no distinction between them. I thought it was Jack Cross. What?! You've never heard me say that? Oh, that's one of my hot takes. No! I don't think there's a North and South Dakota. It should all just be one big Dakota because there's no difference between them. Yes, I know. It's an odd hill to die on, but it's mine. Ah. All right. But, hey, we got a reactor done. We're not dishes. Thank you, Flipstream. All right. So, before I forget, I'm sending this to you. Your current Addy. I believe I had it, but you wanted to send it again just in case. And I didn't want some rando ending up with a book and a personalized note. Boom. Nailed it. That was correct. Okay, come Monday I will go to the post office. Tote521, thank you so much for that follow. I still have those bags of tuna fish potato chips from Japan. I feel like I'm going to send those, too. Oh, my God. No, I'm good. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm looking at the bag now. I did say that wrong. They are actually tuna fish sandwich chips. Oh, my God. Please tell me that is not true. Please tell me that is not a real thing. There's no such thing as tuna fish sandwich chips. I was gonna give them to you at Pinburn. That's how long ago I bought these. So I knew even if you never ate them, it's not like you'd throw them away. Wow. Oh, regular. Yeah, ketchup chips are real. Those are from Canada. They're actually pretty good. I've seen ketchup chips. They're not as bad as you think. Are you going to say the same thing about tuna chips? Tuna, tuna, fish, salmon? I haven't tried them. I was going to try them in front of you and give a review. Oh, my God. What's his toes? There should not be a North and South Dakota. There should just be Dakota, Montana, Idaho, and Utah should be combined into a single state. Then California can be split into two states. Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico can be given statehood, and then we don't have to change our flags. Oh, if you do all of those together. So somebody vote this man president. Right? That's the kind of change I'm looking for. Get up there. I'll only vote you for president once or so if you agree that we're all band together and we'll collectively hashtag fight big pinball. Fight big pinball. Richard Nixon I feel the need to ask you the significance of that statement I don't know, I just want to think of presidents that don't have a good reputation in fighting evil corrupt corporations who just always spring to the top okay well I certainly was not there in the 70s I am very fascinated by that time Let's see, I will concur with you there California should be cut into North Cal and South Cal Because they're so different Northern California is one of my favorite places in the world to visit Southern California scares the hell out of me Southern California is kind of interesting Northern California I really enjoy Oh, just the view, the hiking The air quality Captain Spam says there's reasons he's not been to L.A. Oh, yeah, I've been for business, but it's not somewhere I'd like to be. There's one. Nope. That was a horrific balkery. If I need to pick somewhere in South Cal, I'm probably going to San Diego. Yep. I've been to San Diego. That's great, but their Mexican food is fantastic. So where is Malibu considered? Stoke Cal or NorCal? I don't know. I'm actually not that familiar with it geographically. Let's pop into your Google machine here and see what we can get. It's right up in the middle. It's that area above L.A. but below San Francisco? It's west of L.A., but it's still in L.A. County. Oh, it lies along the Pacific Coast Highway to west and northwest of Santa Monica. Right. Okay. Malibu is still kale, not too far north of LA. Say hi to the Jedi, if you will. Yeah, flipstream. I wanted to get out to San Diego, and he was going to show me where all the great Mexican and beer places were, and then COVID hit. I got to go hang out with Jedi, and he showed me those cool places. Not San Diego, though. He showed me a cool place just north. Oh, we already have a deal with it, because I'm such a Gigantic Fleet 282 fan and they're from San Diego, that when I go out there, we have to go to the Mexican restaurant that they always ate at called Sombreros and get the bean and rice burritos. And the fact that the bass player, Mark Hoppus, having just very successfully beaten cancer, is now taking his son to go there, even though they live in L.A., That's a testament to how good they think these burritos are. And they're from California, so I'm going to take their word for it. Del Mar. Santa Cruz is the place. Ooh. So is Santa Cruz the bike place, actually, from Santa Cruz? TC Pump is in Salinas. I hope I didn't butcher that. About 30 minutes from Santa Cruz. I would like to go there. It's silly though It's because I like my Santa Cruz Mountain bike The one that stabbed you? Yes TC Punk, I did pronounce it correctly Stalinas, okay Like Stalinas Gomez That's how I'm going to remember that one There's a lot of places in California I'd like to see that I haven't been already, but there's also other states that I haven't been to that I'd rather go to first. Mostly just for cross reasons, because California is not a cheap state. It really isn't. Very patient just then. Selena Gomez was born in Salinas? Really? Ironic, huh? That's a really good point. Pinball Princess Jillian, nothing is cheap anymore. Oh, I almost had a coronary two days ago when I went to the grocery store because I wanted meat for hamburgers and I saw hamburger prices. Captain Spam says it's not a cheap state, but still glad they moved out here. Wait, where's here? Oh, I'm guessing California. Yeah, as it was committed to me. You know, Joey, they're out here. Okay. That's why Flipstream is now in Oregon. Oh, yeah, Flipstream in Oregon is really cool. You're just so good at reading chat dice. Like, I wondered if maybe I was missing out on context or a previous statement on the here. I appreciate you. Just reading it in general. Absolutely. Well, you're playing the game. I'll handle the chat. It's like right brain and left brain. I like it. That was great. Too much. Red Viper loves the narration. Oh, thanks, Viper. I agree. The narration is top-notch. That did not trigger. off of that switch at all. Handle chat. Well, like, I look over and Dice is doing a great job of reading through chat so I can just listen and respond and not have to maintain over here, which is normally what I do the other two nights a week. Captain Sam, I'm good at leaving out annoying little pieces of context. Yeah. I also excel at that. See, I think I have the opposite problem. I love including so many facts in things that just don't matter. I love, I love, I'm a huge fan of extraneous information. Uh, you know, programmers are typically really, what was that? Mystic fire. Did anybody see that? It was like a... According to this, Billy likes to drink soda. And Miss Lippy's car is green. Billy Madison. God, I don't... Oh, no. This is fine. Let's just focus on the chat because the gameplay is not here at all tonight. I do feel like there's going to be a moment at which my kid and kids of the current generation are going to look at what we watched as kids, things like Billy Madison, and they're going to be sitting there like, this is what you thought was funny? Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore? this humor while... Oh, it is funny. It's multi-generational, too, so I don't think it'll ever entirely go away. I don't know if it's going to go away. It's just Adam Sandler is a very unique kind of, like... You have to lower your own... There's suspending disbelief. Is there something similar for, like, suspending a base level of intelligence? And that's what you need to do. Enjoying yourself, George. Okay. I all for it Don get me wrong I love it But that what you have to do is suspend intelligence in order to enjoy those and I can do it very easily which I feel like is mildly scary Chlorophyll? I like chlorophyll! I fed you, clothed you, put you through school. Actually, I got this shirt from Frank. Oh, okay, anyway, see? Frank! And you feel like it still has their names on it. And I don't even know where Jim Carrey is on that list. I always thought he never did a movie with Adam Sandler because the world was literally implode. That's a good point. Would the world actually implode? I just don't know what style of humor Jim Carrey is. Is Jim Carrey stupid? Is it like obscene levels of slapstick? I don't... I always described him as a surrealist. No offense, surreal. Ha! Let's see what you did there. Kind of avant-garde, but he did it for so long that avant-garde just became guard. And then he went away, and then he came back, and everyone remembered why we loved him. I, for one, miss him dearly. He's not gone, George. He's working. He's Eggman. And I hope we're able to keep that up. He should be back in the second one. I hope so. Exactly, Captain Spam. Jim Carrey's really high-energy commit to the bit. And I also think he's one of those actors that has a tendency to take, even if someone wrote something and it wasn't funny, he can take it and add enough Jim Carrey to make it funny. Right. Can you imagine there's something about Mary if it would have been any actor other than Jim Carrey? How excruciating that would have been. Wait, something about Mary had Ben Stiller. What am I? Oh, sorry, Me, Myself, and Irene. Oh, no, yeah. Now, Me, Myself, and Irene is one of those movies where I don't understand why I loved it, but, man, did I love it. Sorry, I do understand. It's specifically because of Jim Carrey, as you were saying. Renee Zellweger? Is that who was in that? Captain Spam didn't really care much about the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, but when he heard Jim Carrey was Eggman, he thought, yeah, I'll give him that one. He nailed it. I think he did a great job, and it's that credit scene where he's on the mushroom world that to me seals the deal. Price check. That's the shit. She's baking a loaf. Smells like sourdough. Oh, man. like I quote I didn't know that what you do were biters like there's there's no reason that I as an adult should ever have to say that phrase but it happens so often you don't have to George you get to say that Yeah, exactly. Liar Liar, Cable Guy, Ace Ventura. Oh, Liar Liar, Cable Guy, and Ace Ventura. Bolt, Flip, and Torch. Go. Oh my god. Cable Guy's Torch. Don't get me wrong. I really, really enjoyed the movie. I'm going to flip Ace Ventura and bolt Liar Liar. Oh, premature. I got to think about that for a second. Okay. Cable Guy is bolted. Ace Ventura... Sorry, Cable Guy is burned. Ace Ventura bolted. And what was the third? Oh, Liar Liar. That's why I bolted Liar Liar. I got to bolt Ace Ventura. Because there's two of them, and apparently there's a good chance there's a... We're talking about the first one. I enjoyed the second one far more. I also... Okay, so... Which is why I'm fine with flipping the first one. That is tough. That is a really... Zach Kinney-Gardner, thank you so much for hanging out. Can I get you an ashtray? No, I don't smoke. That's disgusting. Yeah. I don't know what that was I think what you were saying about how when your daughter is going to be watching what you thought was funny especially in today's political climate I don't know how well that first ace of insurance is going to hold up no the first one is very anti-trans give it five years they'll be screaming for that movie to get canceled yeah whereas Liar Liar he gets everything that's coming to him We laugh because we know we deserve some. Yeah, exactly. I've had better. What the hell are you doing? I'm kicking my ass. I'm kicking my ass. All right, there's one. There's a ball lot. Okay, yeah, TC Funks, the opening of Ace Ventura 1 is some of the greatest physical comedy ever put on. Oh my god, when you've destroyed that box, he's like, he's got the... Oh, I have the package for you. It's broken. Yeah, it's too bad. I bet it was something nice, too. It sure does. Let's get the dog. Hey, Jack-o. CNK, you sounded much taller on the radio. Got it From The Oval Is this machine for home use only? They can't find it in any location It is not The Oval, it's not But so many home collectors picked it up And much like George Once they have it They're very not keen to let it go It does break down a lot I have seen it on location It doesn't stay on location Because of I think of issues, at least in the two or three times I've seen it on location, it has to be maintained often. I got a very late serial number on it, though, and I think that's a huge reason why I really haven't had to mess with it all that much. George won't get the reference you sounded much taller on the radio because he hasn't watched Smokey and the Bandit yet. Have you not seen that movie, George? I have not. it's I have mixed feelings about the sequels but the first one is legitimately a great movie okay ooh just thinking about classic movies and great portable ones I know what I'm watching tomorrow night uh what's that my cousin Vinny oh such a good movie Such a good movie. And I think I'll use my one non-textual use of an F-bomb to quote it tonight. One more word out of you and I'll find you in contempt. That is a fucking surprise. What was that? Nothing, Yana. Are you on drugs? No, I don't do drugs. I don't like your attitude. I'm finding you in contempt. God, I love that movie. It's so good. That little still idea. At this rate, I'm never getting married. Your clock. My date. How can it take you five minutes to cook your grits when it takes the entire southern grit-eating world at least 20 minutes? No self-respect in Southerners uses instant grit. It quits. Uh, TNK. Uh, I only saw Major Payne a couple of times. I thought it was alright, but I am a massive fan of Tommy Boy. Uh, being from Wisconsin and Chris Farley being from here. It's kind of in my blood. Uh, I like both movies. Major Payne I've seen probably ten times. Tommy Boy, probably closer to fifty. C&K, I think the question should have been Tommy Boy or Black Sheep. I mean, I'll take Tommy Boy every day of the week, but Black Sheep has a couple of good moments. It's underrated. Now, Black Sheep or Beverly Hills Cop or Ninja? Oh my God, Black Sheep. No question. Really? Yeah. I was not a fan of Beverly Hills Ninja. It's exactly my kind of dumb that just makes me laugh. There's moments in it, no doubt, that I feel like are burned into my memory. Chris Rock, where he thinks it's a greeting. Thanks, asshole! Okay, The Man Who Knew Too Little. or What About Bob? What About Bob? I'm just... What About Bob? Okay. I think I'd go What About Bob as well but I do like The Man Who Knew Too Little. Alright. I'm moving on to Bill Murray over here. Would you go Ghostbusters or Caddyshack? Surreal, have a great night. They're both ensemble movies. Chaotix would go Caddyshack. Nostalgia-wise, I'll have to go Ghostbusters. I saw that first. I actually don't like Caddyshack. That's one that's an acquainted case. And Ghostbusters is just so portable. It is so portable. He took your head and turned off the protection grid. Is that true? Yes, it's true, Your Honor. This man has no dick. Let's view some dog's reaction. See in case of School of Rock or Day One. Oh, I think it'd be Year One. And see in case School of Rock all the way. Year One is one of three movies I've ever actually walked out of the theater and asked for my money back. Was that Year One with Jack Black and Michael Cera? Yes. I never thought. That was just unfortunate. it. Because I love both of those actors, but they could not save that script. Ah! Chaotix would say Caddyshack isn't a film or movie like Ghostbusters. Yeah, that's true. That's very true. And Flipstream says Caddyshack would be a better movie if they cut all the scenes that had nothing to do with golfing. Okay. I'll just respond to that with another one of my favorite quotes from Ghostbusters. That's a big twinkie. Do you believe an ESP UFO is the paranormal? As long as there's a steady check involved, I'll believe anything you say. I'll believe anything you tell me. Oh, my God. So I did get to see the new Ghostbusters. And without any spoilers. What did you think? I'm going to see my brother tomorrow so I can see it for my fifth time. Oh, my God. It was so good. I had a smile on my face from the very beginning until the very end of the credits. It was such an homage, and we miss you to Harold Remus and all of the nostalgia. Especially that one part. The one, obviously. I didn't, but I heard people in the theater crying. Oh, yeah. No, it's awesome. It was, can't wait to, chaotic, yes. You are, if you are a fan of Vita, please don't wait. If you can get a spare two hours and four minutes, go see it. It was the perfect run time. The jokes landed. The acting was fantastic. The special effects were phenomenal. Oh, if you're like me and you're a massive fan of the OG Ghostbusters, go and see it because it's not a spoiler to say this. in this canon, Ghostbusters 2 never happened and Ghostbusters 2016 never happened, so they Halloweened it and we got a brand new direct sequel. Wait, Ghostbusters 2 never happened? No. I... what makes you say that? Because there was no reference to it. Okay, that... I don't mean... I don't think that means that it didn't happen, though. Uh, as... Oh, so you think it does follow the... I want to talk about one about this because there's no spoilers, but during the first mid-credits scene, I thought that was a pretty clear answer given some of the evidence that the second movie never happened. I'm not connecting the... And that's why I'm asking. I feel like I missed something. I wasn't keeping track of what references existed between all the different movies. It was... Your clues were two items that were on two people's hands. That was a frustrating game. Oh! Well, no! Okay, I know what you're talking about, but that doesn't mean anything. And there was no reference for Oscar. What happened to Oscar? You're not wrong. No, but they don't have to... It wasn't necessary. How about that? It just didn't come up. It doesn't mean that it didn't happen. I think if they really wanted us to think that it existed, there would have been references to that, too. But this one was just a massive fan of the first film. Captain Spam, I cannot say anymore. Hashtag no spoilers dream. Especially since I am strongly of the opinion, as I believe George is, that if you have any remote interest in going to see it, please go see it before it leaves the theater. You will not regret it. Yeah, seriously, the theater is so the way to do that, right? I give this movie my highest honor. 10 out of 10. Smorgasbord of laughs. Smorgasbord of laughs. Casserole Lab. Good time. Oh my god. Directly refuting something we love. Did you guys know George has merch? Oh, thank you. Captain Spam, though, I want to go back to that. There is, in my opinion, nothing that directly refutes the events of 2. But 2 is never directly referenced. Nor Ghostbusters 2060. well get that I feel like is a given yeah that was just unfortunate I'll say this about Ghostbusters 2016 out of all the movies I've ever seen Sugar was one of them thank you for the merch I'll give them that You know, it has to be really hard to make a movie. Has someone himself done it on about three different indie projects? No, not really. Not that hard, huh? Not to end up with what they end up with. Is it easier than making a pinball machine? Yes, it takes far less time to make a movie. Okay. Okay, Alex, I'm going to see it for my fifth time tomorrow, but upon my scans, apart from the victory screen from the original NES game, I have not seen any references to the video games within the Afterlight universe. Nope. By the way... But if you look very closely at a very small monitor, and it'll be in one of the backgrounds, it won't even be in focus, but you'll see the victory text from the original Ghostbusters NES game. Oh, really? Yeah. Nope, totally missed that. Nope. Like I said, it bears repeated viewing, and this film is the biggest fan of the original Ghostbusters movie. It really is. Give me that back. Uh, Chaotix. Nope, there was no reference to Ghostbusters 3, even though that was supposed to be Ghostbusters 3 when they decided they weren't going to make a movie, but they were going to make a game. But, uh, assuming George is correct and I'm reading too much into it and they are all canon, that would be very interesting. I I see what you're saying and I feel like even the fact that they assuming that they didn't refute anything specific from the first one from the second one they at least left themselves open to include the events in the sequel right like that's it I'm going to try and be as non-spoilery with this as I can George because I do have one issue that I can't exactly bring up directly, but I'm wondering if you noticed it and it bothered you as much as it did me. Dan Aykroyd says something that just ends up absolutely not being true. Um. I don't. The thing that bothered me most was the entire plot. As to why, um, the reason they're out there, nobody believes. That, that is the single most unbelievable portion of the entire movie happens to be the point at which the entire plot is based. Well, that's kind of, that's kind of, um, that's kind of harkening back to Ghostbusters 2 a bit. Interesting. Yeah, you're referencing the ooze. You're not sleeping with it, are you? More. You guys are full of crap. Excuse me? Yeah, my dad says you guys are full of crap, and that's why you went out of business. Even Paul Rudd's in disbelief, and that's not a spoiler. You see it in the trailer. He's like, Whoa, that's Replica. Replica of what? It's a ghost trap. You know, from the 80s, New York. Like, it's something that's remembered, but shockingly, nobody's talking about. Give me that back. Like, even if it was 30-something years after it happened, if that happened IRL, I think that would still be some news. Oh my god, yeah. Yeah. so um also my favorite moment of the the movie is uh i think it's in the preview i don't know but it's specifically something paul rudd does he like it seems very ad-libbed like it probably it doesn't make sense it's just very paul rudd and it's something he says when he obviously doesn't have to and it's the moment I go back to any time I think about the movie and it's just, it's so dorky, it's perfect. Oh, yeah, he was adorkable in this movie. He was so adorkable. I love that, I love that line, yeah. How are you being obtuse? But yes, I cannot sing enough praise about that movie. If you have any interest remotely, do yourself a favor and go see it. I don't even know what just happened there. That was weird. What I really want to... I'm letting that drain. Who needs it? Get up there. Get, get, get. Get out of here. Who needs you? I'm going to text it to you here. Oh, no. Oh, no. Okay. There. That is that moment. when he says that, I was just like, it was so perfect. Evil protagonist. I'm just an Apollo. Yeah, great name, by the way. It's just, like, I keep going back to that, that is quintessential Paul Rudd. Straight out of the Marvel movies. It is, it's really great. um alright I know you mentioned earlier like I think this is the night George is gonna do it you've seen the playing it's not we're not there it's not the night what am I practicing for I mean straight doesn't add until you say it That's a really good point. Oh, no. It's not like Friday. It's not like you have to work. I do not have to work tomorrow. You already said Zoe gets up and she can feed herself. Yeah, well, I've got her all set to go. Yeah, exactly. Have a bad night. Take some George time. What's that? You haven't even had a third drink yet. I have not had a third drink. I haven't, we haven't made a drink yet. I, uh, I may be down to do some shots if anybody else would like to do some shots. I, I might, I might do shots with you. Yep. Who needs that? Yeah, make a drink. Uh. Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- Je- it Jeffy's Dios. I'm going to need some pronunciation on that one. You're going to need confirmation on that. Red Viper, yeah, make a drink. Make a drink. Alright, you might be making a drink. We're going to get there. Nah, it's always fun to see how people pronounce it. Okay. Is it Hefe? No. Then the F Dios. doesn't have an E at the beginning. So, jefe's Dios, maybe? I've already had a few captain and rookbeers, does Meta Knight, then. Okay. I'm going to call it J.P. Stiles. Because that's fun for me. Yeah, no, you had it. There are two Es. Chaos, he's trying to call playing fishtails, and it was pissing them off. Fishtails is tough. That's a quick game, especially when you get that double center ramp Just ripping? All right. Nope, we're upside down. Mark Ritchie loves so much. Yeah. I do. Wait, Steve Ritchie? No, Mark Ritchie. Mark Ritchie. Mark Ritchie. Mark Ritchie game of the crisscross ramps across the playfield. Now, are Steve and Mark Ritchie related? I've never been able to get confirmation on that, but it certainly seems like after a while that Mark Ritchie kind of just disappeared. Yeah. Okay. our Discord channel, so if you want to go over there and talk to people who make them or play them, I'm sure they would be more than happy to have a chat with you about that. Yep. And... Hi. You see the hat? I am Mr. Nesbitt. So, I'm not doing a shot, but I am just going to do some whiskey on the rocks. Does that work out? Oh, that works. I mean, that's basically just shots. yeah exactly it's just it's just shots shot shot shot shot shot uh okay so switching back to chat so virtual pinball eight congratulations welcome to the beginning of the end where you will funnel all of your money uh pinball is great the community is amazing virtual pinball is even a community within the community of pinball and uh super close-knit really cool people lots of people doing development trying to uh virtualize physical games and it's awesome there's a few streamers who do it really really well i think one of them's on right now mr scoot does uh virtual pinball uh mp3 fanatics it's your old pal k trevor evil protagonist subscribing is your one watching someone play pinball on the computer are you kidding me come Run.

Evil Protagonist, thank you so much for that Tier 1 subscription. We hope you enjoyed the ad-free viewing and the show. We have a lot of sweet emotes that you can only get now that you're here as a member of Le Panic Room. Le Panic Room. That's awesome. So who was it? I don't know the name now of the person who was looking for virtual. Let me scroll back up here. You were talking about virtual pinball with the evil protagonist. Evil protagonist. Okay, cool. I live for evil protagonist. I also love Letterkenny. Well, the earlier seasons, I started to lose it in 8, and I never went back and got 9. Yeah, there's a huge amount of crossover between pinball and Letterkenny. Have you heard the latest Letterkenny news, George? You're going to hate this. I actually mentioned this last year, and you said you never wanted this to happen. There's going to be a very short spinoff six-episode miniseries about Shorzy. About Shorzy. That's fine. Maybe we actually get to see Shorzy's face at some point. Is that the... What's happening there? It wouldn't be that surprising because it's just Jared Kiso. Yeah, it's the same guy. I don't know how to get specific subs, but I have the Shorzy guy, the actor who does Shorzy, and... Wayne. Oh my god. Thank you. The people. I have a couple of different Letter Candy call-outs for those. I don't know exactly how to trigger each one, and I don't have a manual way to do it, unfortunately. Give your balls the tubs. I hope this doesn't bother you, George, but it's a holiday and it's late enough, so I'm sure there's no kids in here. I'm not going to censor myself that much anymore. Fuck you, Shorzy. Fuck you, Bob Jonesi. Your mom took a couple of head off of me, knocked me into the pool at the Holiday Inn. I love the, why don't you tell your mom something, and then you can tell your mom something. And then both moms. Thank you for the thank you count you made for me. I've got to go get some calves. Fuck you, Bob Jonesi. Your lives are so pathetic, I had to organize and run a 4K just to raise awareness for it. Oh, man. It's so good. Your lives are so pathetic, I get a tax break just for hanging out with you. Evil protagonist, welcome. So, when you get into... If you join the Discord, check out the VR channel, but there's an entire other Discord where all of the VR people go, and that would be the thing to get a link to. I don't have that handy. I should have a command at some point, because the VR community is so tight. So, if you want to know what games to do, what hardware to get, how to make improvements... Nick, you got it. Awesome. Nick, thank you so much. So, whatever Nick posts here... Yeah, exactly. Whatever Nick ends up giving you, go with that. So George is playing some TP, and George is playing some Total Nuclear Annihilation for Fritz-Tam the other day. That was perfect. Perfect! The pinball playing skills are at their peak right now. Park, rock, poolside, rooftop, really. What was that? Oh, you must not remember that infamous rant when they're all impersonating McMurray. No. You gotta remember to talk like he does with your dog all cleansed when he gets shit-faced. Right. Okay, Alex, is that what you appreciate about me? To be fair. To be fair. To be fair. As we all know, Ags Halls is for agricultural music. Oh my god. I need to go back and re-watch the series now. You're bringing me back. Hey, Katie. Go haul dairy. Go haul dairy. As long as there's chorn to be done. There's so many quotable things from that show, and I can't think of anything right now. I'm so distracted trying to come up with stuff. I'm like, no, no, no, there's something. Nick can't find the link to the invite, but ask around to the pinball community Discord for sure, and you'll find it. Yeah, exactly, K-Alex, when he does the Gordon Ramsay impression. There. Alright, first reactor, critical, we're still technically on ball one. Oh my god. Evil Predagus, you're very welcome. We're happy to answer questions. Thank you! Almost anyone that comes in here. We're great, and they're going to be in questions. They're going to join the Discord and can't wait to meet more pinball fans. Evil Predagus, once again, welcome to the panic room. Yeah. Oh, that was so bad. Oh, I know I spent like the whole day eating, but I could really crush a sandwich right now. Hehehehehehehehe. Fuck checks, fat checks, four checks, boys. I mean, who bought the rocket, boys? Oh no. Those are our digis! Time for a Donnybrook. Then deep ends up north. Boom. Finally remembered something that I can quote. pheasants! That's fucking embarrassing! I really like that guy. I still have all the balloons from my two birthday parties ago. Oh, yeah, that was themed. That was, yeah. That's when we were trying to make some kind of Flipper Kenny thing happen. Yes, it didn't happen. But now I really, really want to do something with Squid Game. that would be bizarre no so here's what i'm thinking okay here hear me out here hear me out it's a drinking stream and it's a tournament and it's a single loss you're out right so four people one machine the fourth person is out and they come back in dressed in uniform as a member of of the Squid Game squad, right? Like with the triangle, the circle, and the square. And that keeps getting bigger. There's the ring person who is the announcer, right? Whoever the main person is with the black mask. And just the bad guys continue to get bigger during the drinking stream. And, sorry, there was a tie-in, an additional tie-in to that. Oh, and then, of course, you'd have to wear the green jerseys, I guess, if you're in the tournament. I would have a boss hat. It sounds really cool to me, and then there could be gambling going on with a few people who are dressed up in really crazy masks who are just commentating on things. Bumper Nugget, what are you doing? Good evening. Good evening. I had to look up a list to get reacquainted with all the great letter-ketting quotes because I'm a little intoxicated, but I got some good ones here. One by Ferguson Wayne. Oh, get off the cross already. We need the wood. We need the wood. if you have a problem with them that's a canadian goose but you have a problem with me I want to swear so bad right now have you watched taskmaster I have not yet Uh, pre-COVID, we had a super soft birthday for our buddy. Everyone has so much fun, we now have a tradition. The person that had the last party has to gift his pink rainbow stuffed unicorn with a princess crown. This blesses that person with a super soft birthday party. That's awesome, Fritaginous. Oh my god, gifting 400 bits. Fritaginous, you're amazing. My hat's off to you, and I'm so glad you were able to find the stream. that did not work anywhere near you probably won't like cashmere it's it's British does that just mean it's super dry is it like I'm good with new British there's a time in the 70s and 80s like Fawlty Towers where the British is so fast and the humor is so dry it just goes right over my head I'm sorry, George. I'm still looking at this list. Well, it's nothing better than a fart, except for kids falling off bikes. Maybe. Fuck, I could watch kids falling off bikes all day. I don't give a fuck about your kids. You're making me do shots with the flipper on that. I literally was laughing. I missed the flipper on the right side. Given how much I've already broken the seal tonight, George, you might as well just cut loose for one night and just let yourself do it. I'm not gonna hold any push-ups or pull-ups against you. If you want to say it, just say it. It feels weird. Do you know Greg Davies? This is fucking awkward, bud. Do you know Greg Davies, or do you like panel shows? I don't know what a panel show is. I don't like wood paneling, though. Is that somehow related? Like those walls from the 80s? Yeah, exactly. We only got one shot at this. One chance. One win, you know? Vomit on your mom's spaghetti or whatever that talking singer says. I was about to say mom's spaghetti. You know, vomit on your mom's spaghetti or whatever that talking singer says. There's a double. A very late double. I don't know if you saw that. I'm not touching it. British panel comedian shows? A panel show is a game show with celebrities. Oh. I don't know about that. Do I need to? What's up with your body hair, you big shoe? You look like a 12 year old Dutch girl. Are these still quotes from Letterkenny? Yes, I'm just running I'm just running down a list of my favorites. Taskmaster Q, especially those two. Wait, isn't Taskmaster a bad guy in the Marvel Universe? So why is it a panel show? Oh my god, I did it! I did the thing. Did you see it? I shat the bed. I hit the bottom and banked it up into the destroy. It's done. This evening suddenly became... Why do you have to put numbers and letters together? Why can't you just go fuck yourself? What? That's from Wayne. It's like algebra. Why do you have to put numbers and letters together? Why can't you just go fuck yourself? All right, hit this lock shot. Oh. You know, more than a puppers, I could really go for a good Janos Kiss and Brew. A good Janos Kiss and Brew. That one I don't know. That's their whiskey. Oh. Well, cheers. I have some whiskey. Taskmaster is comedians doing really dumb tasks assigned by Greg Davies. Okay. The cold opens of Letterkenny. Oh, Chaotix. That's my favorite part of Letterkenny, hands down, every time, is the alphabet-style rap or rhyming that they do in the introduction. Every letter. Yeah. You guys do CrossFit? You can cross-fuck off. Come on, George. Give in to your temptations. Say no four-letter words. You dare not speak. No, no. I'm good. Come on, George. It's a holiday. Don't lose it. the problem is that i actually don't like this the problem is that when i start swearing i i i have a hard time stopping is that scary scary i just based on the sound alone welcome to the stream george you stream so late at night there's nothing wrong with using your sentence enhancers. No, but like once I start swearing, then I, then I struggle to stop swearing, right? I've never had that problem because I've never stopped. I was about to say you've never stopped swearing. I get it. I, on the other hand, uh, I, I told a guy who eventually, uh, we let go, in business meetings he was he was swearing often in business meetings and these are in government related business meetings and I explained to him one on one I didn't call him out in front of other people but I called him afterwards I'm like hey you swear a lot that's not appropriate in this setting I need you to need you to pull it back a little bit so this is a casual setting he was oh my god no no no this is totally a casual setting the problem is I once I start swearing routinely, struggle to pull it back. Then you'd be just like everyone else, George. Give your balls a tug. There it is. Got it. I got the balls. Balls tug. There we go. That's the content everyone came for. There it is. uh so everybody works at a bank and their boss's boss swears a lot my boss's boss swears a lot don't they say people who swear regularly are more intelligent no they're they're people who swear more often are less likely to lie I think is what I read most recently but I don't know what what information that's based on I didn't look at any of the supporting documentation for that kind of a statement and as much as I really like mental floss everything needs to be checked especially when you make bold statements like that those who can extrapolate and make complete data and those yep there's two types Two types of people in this world? Those that can understand binary? Two types of people in this world. Those who can finish lists. I'm out. That was it. Those that can understand binary. I would say there are 16 different types of people in the world. those that can understand hacks. Exactly, Kalex. Bonnie McMurray in those Halloween costumes. Bonnie McMurray. McMurray, how are you? That is very true, Nick, but 16 is 16. But where there's 10 actually makes sense. Don't you mean there's F kinds of people in the world? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Yep, yep. No, no, no. He is absolutely right. No, F is 15. It's 10 in any place. Because 10 equals 2 and F equals 16. Dot, dot, dot. Yeah, I thought F was 16. So A is 10. B, C, D, E, F. Yeah, F is 16. Had to use my hands there. Granted, I am two beers and most of a whiskey. Ed. Terry Byes got reboot nostalgia. reboot unless it's pronounced reboot a equals 10 d equals 11 c 12 d 13 e 14 f 15 darn it sorry about that reboot cartoon that was a great show a d d e f 10 11 12 13 14 oh my god yeah Pinsomniac says color. Alright. I'm going to have to delete this episode now because I regularly steal in exodecimal math stuff when I do work. So, that's fine. I'm just going to delete the episode afterwards. I already broke the MPAA's F-bomb rating for PG-13, so we're now in hard R territory. Okay, we're in hard R. evil protagonist what are your initials you're getting in here for I think speed on reactor 3 for some reason no idea they say it's just like base 10 if you're missing two fingers uh Pepe take a point for that yeah that's really good oh man uh I'm gonna go evil protagonist with EP if you're missing two fingers Oh, a GRM. Okay. Grim. That's fitting, too. Very grim. Nick says you should actually have points that can do things on your channel. You can use $150,000 to buy a tattoo. Things got a little sticky back when we were able to buy shots. Yeah, it got a little crazy pretty quick, especially on nights where I had to do things the next day. Pinsomniac, you're close. Wait. You kept forgetting to disable it. Yeah. Pinsomniac, spin the wheel. So, Pinsomniac, if you were to spend $150,000, would you get one of my emotes tattooed on you or pick one of my emotes to get tattooed on me? Yes. Yes? I need to get more emotes, too. like a reset cup throwing up peanut butter or a hot dog eating a hot dog oh yeah full back tattoo as in narwhal I don't know about full back tattoo but I would definitely but if that was for you or George yeah oh good point good point context matters here oh Nick would get the full back tattoo that's commitment wow i'd have to no well that's interesting did i specify a max amount of money that i would pay for said tattoo i thought you said 250 okay i thought no i mean i know i've discussed it i was thinking it was going to be 250 to 300 i don't want you i don't want you representing an emote of mine poorly. Like, I want... I'd probably go up to 500, but I need to put that on there. No, no. I just said, no regurts is so great on Facebook. That misspelling. Nick, if you're going to go full back tattoo, why not just get a full back tattoo of George? Nah, that's odd. I'll allow it. I'll allow it. I'm the moderator. I'll allow it. All right. Here we go. We've done it once tonight. Let's see if we can do it again. The goal is to hit the sling and bank it into the destroy. Totally got it. Let's try it again. Okay. I'm definitely going to censor myself on this one. I'll get George's beep tattooed on my thigh for comparison's sake. Oh my god I actually have a beep Do you want to hear it Sure I could get really upset and say God. There we go. That was a thing of beauty. Could you hear it? Uh, yeah. Okay. See, I don't know what things come through on the other side to you, but I do have a beep if I want to swear. So technically there's nothing stopping you. From swearing. You are absolutely right. You put up your phone all the time. You know, I have to hit a button over here. I could say something. Which honestly I think would make your life a lot more hilarious. Trickle, oh my God, Blipstream, please tell me that's what you've been working on all evening. has been sending me updates on this into my whispers on Discord. Oh my god, wait a second, wait a second. Trickle down pinball doesn't work. Hashtag fight big pinball. Flip side or flip three. I saw it, that was great. Trickle down pinball doesn't work. I love the weird graphs in the background. I'm getting updates. Is that, that looks like Windows 90, or Microsoft Word 95 WordArt, by the way. Was that intentional? That's exactly what I'd want. That's what I'd buy. Is Microsoft WordArt? Where's Clippy? It was on an Illustrator. and then a link for reference. Did you guys see me totally miss the flipper? I didn't even understand a word you just said. You were laughing so hard. I'm sorry. Did you guys see me completely miss the flipper and just let the ball drain down the middle? I did. I'm sorry, George. I was still admiring this fine art. Yeah, that's great. The fine art is actually awesome. I'm happy you missed it. I'm happy that someone just took something dumb that I started saying as a joke and actually made a design out of it. Another nightmare says, he a little drunk. Whether you're referring to me or George, you're right. Okay, there we go. We're trapped up. I have theories about P3. He has theories about P3. I'm curious, what are your theories about P3, Mr. Nick? He and Little Drunk. Yep. That made me think of one of the very early episodes of Family Guy. PETA, have you been drinking? Why, yes, I have. Thank you. To this day... Go ahead. Drunk again. Not drunk. I'm exhausted from staying up all night drinking. Oh, that was poor. Speaking of which, I'm about ready for a refill here. I also am running out. Hashtag my life. So there is a moment in Family Guy where Peter is desperately, desperately trying not to use his name. So he's asked for his name and he's like, ah, and he looks around really quickly. He's going to, he looks down. Peter Griffin. God damn it. Peter Griffin. It was so great. It was, thank you. Hefe is right there with me Is it Hefe or is it Jeff Is Dios Sorry the first question is Is it Hefe can I just say Hefe Because if it's not it is Hefe okay good I'm saying Hefe Alright we got out of Hefe Yep we got the pouch And we're gonna walk over And go refill some of the Some of the alcohol And I'll let you entertain the kids While I'm getting my own alcohol Okay here we go and the question is do we upgrade to some of this Colorado rye small batch I think we do uh oh we're losing some video here I'm going to put this over here over here I can't see any of the chat right now so I apologize if there's a bunch of chat and I'm just not responding to it we'll check it out here in a second we have some whiskey we have a little bit of ice oh yeah that is I think we had a bad pocket of wifi or something Krispy Kreme. Oh, yeah. Pinball Princess Jillian. We had cookies, pumpkin pie, and Krispy Kreme. Puking currently. Is that because of drinking or the cinematography? You're very sensitive, Pinsomniac, to the camera bouncing around a little bit. Focus. Oh, it's focused on me now. We're good. We're completely fine. Yeah. I think I lost one of my headphones. The sound's only coming through one of them now. I'm going to bring the music down just a bit while we're waiting. I had to make the joke back to you. Oh, okay. Closest one is at Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut. Now, how far of a drive is that in order to get Krispy Kremes? Because this was the first time my daughter had ever had a Krispy Kreme. And she's like, I don't get it. What's the big deal? It's been years since I've had a Krispy Kreme, says Hefe. It's really two hours. Pinsomniac, they sell them at King Soopers. I don't know if they get them shipped in or what. It wasn't hot. So I microwaved it. I'll tell you right now. I did 10 seconds of microwaving, gave it to Zoe, and she's like, okay. And that's only because we go to Lamar's Donuts, which is a local brand of Donuts. I think they're local. In Fort Collins every Sunday. That's our daddy-daughter date is Donuts, the comic book shop, and then usually some sort of lunch or something like that. They used to be amazing. Okay. It's overrated. Also, they are like a gut bomb for me. Sari, I'm right there with you. I am gluten intolerant. The issue is that I go into the casino with 2K and leave with three dozen donuts. Jillian, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I completely understand that, though at least you walk out with the donuts. I like Voodoo Donuts now. You got to microwave it. So my problem with Voodoo Donuts, I've had it in Denver. Denver actually is better than Voodoo Donuts in, we waited in line for an hour and had the worst donuts ever. I think it was in New Orleans, right? That's where they're from, right? you have voodoo donuts in oregon so yeah i used to do fundraised back in michigan when i was in high school what fun is there in me i'd rather go to dp dough than voodoo pinsomniac totally different food though flip tronic welcome to the stream uh dp those i'm sorry i said back with my new beverage back with the new beverage okay oh wow that is not a cherry vanilla bourbon okay hey we're both drinking whiskey cheers clink logic uh gotta do I prefer savory to sweet okay so DP Doe's is a local place that does amazing calzones and they have like 85 different combinations of calzones that they do and they're all uniquely named it's it's really fun but they do very good calzones so comparing donuts to calzones I feel like isn't fair. Until you're talking Friday. Oh! They do have a little bit of a weird dessert menu, don't they? Okay. No, no, I can still hear that. It's only coming through one. Dice, can you say something? Because I don't know if my left earphone is working. Testing. One, two. Testing. Peachy fly. Peachy fly. Okay. It's coming through great. Oh, that's why. The sound of the pin is only coming through on one. Nick, I'd be very upset if something called Fat Shack didn't have fried Oreos. stay in there it's really struggling to stay in there that's what she said George yeah the sound from the game is weird my line in there we go thank you so much for stopping in Hopefully you can find any information you're looking for in the Discord. You can always reach out to any of us directly and have a fantastic night. Happy Thanksgiving. Thanks for stopping in. Happy Thanksgiving. Switching back over. Boats, don't expect the pinball to get any better if you do come back, by the way. Oh, we revel in mediocrity here. Yes, we do. Probably should turn the music up a bit. I mean, you had Escher on. Oh, yeah. Like, now that I've had Escher on, I don't even, like, I don't even play pinball. Polish donuts, or do we polish the donuts? It's lowercase, so I think in that case it is polish. I believe the word for that is glaze. Pinball will get better. Monkey is typewriter Shakespeare. Polish, okay. Chaotic, thank you. I don't know that I've had a Polish donut. But apparently I am very Polish. But I've never had a Polish donut. They've got some good food. You've got the kielbasa. You've got the pierogies. Oh, my God. Pierogi is one of my favorite things to eat. Okay, so, yeah, a pierogi is a Polish donut. Okay. I didn't want to say it because I didn't want to sound dumb, but that is what that is. Okay. Wait, a pierogi is a Polish donut, you said? No, uh, uh, uh, Punski? It's, it's, phonetically it spells a taxi, but it's pronounced Punki. It's because English is a fucking circus of a language. It really is. Aren't we the second hardest language to learn behind Mandarin? That sounds about right. I don't know if that's an accurate statement, though. Yeah, you can say it, everybody. That was the joke. That's not English. Perogies are the best. I enjoy the heck out of those, those Meta Knightmen. Uh, Pensomniac. It could be filled with custard, but it usually is filled with some type of fruit-flavored jelly. I like the blueberry ones and the apricot ones myself. We're going to try and hit that again. Totally got there. Let's try it. Did not get there. All right, so now we're just going to try and hit it directly. Totally got it. It does in fact look a lot like a jelly donut Because it is And that is a nightmare I did not say heck George I understand that you did not say heck I am so sorry Heckin' with a tail Sorry The actual quote was I enjoy the H-E double hell out of those Streamer doesn't read effing Streamer doesn't effing read chat So Streamer doesn't fucking read chat Here's something kind of interesting Hearing people read And say out loud Stuff You end up finding people who maybe It's really easy to determine very quickly Who maybe has Subtle or serious dyslexia I don't know what direction you're taking this, George. That's honestly the end of my statement. I have not thought through what I was going to say. And apparently you can also tell people who don't think before they talk. He didn't say effing, George. You've got to get this right. Flipstream calling you out about how your chat reading gets worse when you have company over. Oh, it does. You called me out the other night on it, and the problem is it's not so much when I have company, but it is when I have to try it. One of my favorite Facebook memes. when I have to try and manage a stream and keep other people focused the first thing that gets lost is chat on it and that is the one thing I would love to absolutely keep up on and I think I do a great job when I'm not playing pinball but if I'm playing pinball I just can't balance it all in the same go. It is... That's typically why I want a commentator when I do battles. Hefe, take one point for that. Accordion to research, nine out of ten people don't notice it when you replace random words with musical instruments. I heard you say accordion, and I'm like, I wonder if that was an accident. What do you do when a sink is knocking at your door? You let that sink in. That's because you let that one marinate. Streamer Immersion says, Pinball Princess Jillian. That I don't understand. But only because there's so much, I don't know, meta conversation happening. George is not able to read my post. Oh my God. According to research at the Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order, the letters in a word are. The only important thing is that the first and last letter are at the right place. The rest can be a total mess, and you can still read it without a problem. I added A. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole. Boom. Nailed it. TLDR. What? Flipstream wrote TLDR in response to that paragraph. Sorry, I don't remember what that means again. It's too long, didn't read. Got it, got it. Okay. Oh, what a callback. Jillian says you can't chat when you're gaming. The chat makes you lose your immersion in the game. Oh. Okay. Okay. And even in the battles, I'm not super concerned about the game. Although I was actually at that point. Like, you've got Escher telling you, dude, all you have to do is hit this one shot. Don't miss it. It's fine. It's fine. You missed that one shot. It's cool. You're going to get it again. So when it's Escher, totally. But if it was any other person besides Escher, I'd be fine. No big deal. But, yeah, Escher kind of ruined it, I feel like, on that one. Escher is just amazing. Like, I kept finding myself not looking at chat multiple times, just watching what he was doing to the pinball machine. It was so silly. This is the export level. If you die before someone else does, does that mean you've beaten them to death? What was that from? Flip stream. Flip stream, you can take a point for that. You earned it. Yeah, that's definitely earned. I'm just letting you know that I am struggling to see the pinball table non-blurry at this point. Dropping F-bombs. Thank you. Escher, yeah, meta-nightmines, understatements right there. Escher, without, like, it doesn't even feel like he was trying very hard. Put up 1.8 billion on Godzilla. I mean, he's okay. I think it was a little more practice. He'll get where he wants to be. What happens if you've beaten someone half to death twice? Wouldn't that be two-fourths? Or two-eighths? I can't multiply fractions right now. Well, you know what they say. Two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left. Oh my god. Is anybody else as worried by all of the colors on... Like, look at the grid. The grid has four different colors on it. There should be two. Insomniac throwing out a rave. Nice. What do you get when you... Oh, okay, I can extrapolate from incomplete data. What do you get when you cross a man with the heart of a lion? A lifetime ban from the zoo. My friend got crushed by a pile of books, but they only have their shelf to blame. I had to read that in my most Mitch Hedberg-y voice possible. No, that was great. How do you think the unthinkable? With an iceberg. Flipstream is betting you've got a connector coming loose under the table. I think it's actually software. Because when it needs to, it can always flash. Even when it gets incorrect, if it wants to change it to white, it can't. Why am I on Nuclear Reactor 8? Yes, exactly. this to me is a software issue and it started with the most recent version of firmware there we go we made it to 8 it's a successful evening alright last game but we're gonna start this will fix as soon as this game finishes restarting now Dice we've answered one question this evening do you have a second question Let me consult the oracle Oracle being consulted Kisco, what are you doing up this late? Aren't you east coast? Oh, on that note, isn't Pinball Princess Dillion also east coast? It is late Oracle consulting is expensive Since we're basically in December, I don't feel weird about asking this and this is definitely broad enough that could be a good variety of answers. Okay. What is your favorite item you've purchased this year? Oh, that's interesting. Okay, I've got a few items. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, I'm going to time you out for now, Mammy Ma, but we don't use that word here. Thank you so much. Wow, I just saw that. I almost started reading it, too. I'm like, oh, look, first person. And I... Oh. Oh. Yeah, no, thank you. I'll sign me off this time, but if it happens again, I'm going to have to block you. Hopefully that was just an accident. My 3080 Ti says Chaotix. I have a 3070 in this machine. I'm really digging my Defender Arcade one up. Godzilla. Nothing for you. Come back. One year. Next. And maybe my Ergata rowing machine. I'm going to go with those as being my favorite purchases. CatCube, welcome to the stream. What a sensitive chat. We just don't like inappropriate swear words. We're going to keep it PG-13 around here. Yeah. I'm not paying $1,500. Oh, wow. You got yourself banned. Congratulations. Okay. Wow. Okay. Yeah, CatCube is gone. Welcome, and see yourself out. But I want a new egg shuffle. I'll let you take the next one. Okay. Right, right. Chaotix, I got it. Trying to think of... I don't actually have a game right now that honestly could use a 3080. The only game I play that has any kind of graphics associated with it is still Heroes of the Storm, which is fun. I played it the other night after taking about maybe five months off because I was playing it on the reg probably about three hours a day for a while and really enjoying myself liking it, but realizing that it's a game I was spending entirely too much time on and getting nothing out of. and took a break and I played it five times the other night and got destroyed because the game had changed so drastically. So I'm kind of excited to get back into it. It's once again going to be competitive. I don't know if it's worth trying to stream, but I still enjoy playing the game. I don't know if the 3080 really does anything for me on it, though. I also do a lot of Microsoft White Sim. Really fun game. Nice, sister. Thank you so much for that follow. My hat's off to you. That's what heroes do. Right there. Still using my 1080 Ti. Go ahead. I was just going to say that my answer is pretty easy. I picked up a dartboard this year, like a bar level one. Okay. I really thought I'd just use it a couple times whenever I got bored, but actually I'm really getting into it. Like, I'm considering joining a dart throwing league. Oh, wow. Okay. Nice little adjustment there. Huh. Okay, did anybody else comment? We've been talking about video cards, but did anybody else throw out something? I have his brother bought them a Ms. Pac-Man 8-in-1 Partycade. Okay. Lawn Dart Throwing League. Say more, Johnny, if we were still able to legally buy the good ones, because I still have my family sets from the 80s, I would absolutely do that. It's fun if you really make sure nobody's in your way. That's the biggest issue. You guys, I'm going to say something, and I realize now as I thought it how silly it was, but did you guys ever play a game where you had a bow and arrow set as a kid? Let's just take a second. We're going to step back. I had a bow and arrow as a kid, and we used to play a game where you would shoot the bow and arrow straight up and then have to dodge it as it came back down? That's called roulette. Okay, that's called roulette. Did anybody else play something that stupid as a kid? Oh, yeah. I still play that as an adult with my drunken friends. There's no bigger rush. You did it with sharp lawn darts. Okay, cool. I mean, we did it with real arrows. And a bow and arrow set as a kid and we played a game. It's never a good way to start a story. I'm just going to back up a little bit here. Met a night man. A friend of mine bought a 3070 to help me with an issue I was having, and I was able to just buy it off of him, so now I have a 3070 Ti. Nice. Okay. Yeah, I had an issue with my streaming computer randomly shutting down. If you guys remember, it typically happened whenever I got raided, which is awesome, right? You get raided, somebody drops 100 people on you or something like that, your computer shuts down immediately. So I was done with it. I'm like, I don't want to mess with this computer anymore. I don't want any of these issues. I went out and bought an Alienware system with a 3070 in it that next day, set it up, streamed on that. No more issues with the computer turning off. But issues, unfortunately, with the i9 Intel processor still, which is the second time I've had an i9 where the processor doesn't seem to be handling anywhere near as much processing power as it's supposed to. Check your Elgato again, George, when you get the chance. So, okay, good call, good call. I'll check the Elgato. I have removed any USB Elgato stuff. So now it's just the dedicated PCI cards with four inputs. Hey, I think about the dumb stuff. all I heard in my head was just one time at band camp of course I mean I feel like everybody who well you didn't grow up in the 90s but anybody who spent a lot of time watching American Pie regardless of the time definitely goes with that one time at band camp pinball princess Jillian I have no idea it's whatever came with this particular alien wear Staryby yeah that was a thing that was a July 4th deal was you would drink yeah you would drink a beer or for me at that time it was a root beer or yeah or something with basically a glass bottle you'd light it you'd put it in the glass bottle and you'd have a war shooting those at each other I always had built in protection Nick's out here taking points away. Why? For flip streams. I bought my friend an elephant for a room. She said thanks. I replied, don't mention it. Because you don't want to talk about the elephant in the room? Why minus one? That was pretty decent. Nick seems pretty upset about it. I mean, he put in a whole frowny face and everything. That was well brought up. Too bad you weren't. I got one! Yes, I actually got a joke. How awesome is that? Alright, ball one. Last game of the night. Dice, we got this. You're going to beat it. Yeah. Yeah. I'm barely following the ball right now. Just FYI. Somebody said, oh yeah, go. Well, you're not going to beat it with that attitude, George. Go, go, go. Who wants to do shots? I'm at the record show. You did not do a shot. I didn't. Well, I mean, I did a drink of shot. Does that count? Flipstream redeeming themselves. My wife asked me if I'm ever going to stop singing Wonderwall. I said, maybe. Oh, he got five for that from Nick. Total redemption. We love to see a good redemption arc. Yes. Chaotix. Thank you so much for hanging out with us. And it's Thursday. It just happens. I hate that Oasis gets... I love their music. Do you also not understand the hate that Nickelback gets? Personally, I don't think it's deserved. I kind of like Nickelback, but it's weird that his voice is just so unique and has the same sound constantly over and over again. Even as like a 20-something-year-old, he had the voice of like a two-pack-a-day smoker. Yeah, exactly. And they say that a hero will save us. Oh my god, that was great. Not gonna stand here and wait. All right, one destroy, top left. Almost got it. I got this. Oh, Nick's coming out swinging tonight. Nick thinks most of Nickelback deserves to be hated on. I just think a lot of it's bland. Like, it's not even... If it was a food, it's not bad tasting. It just needs some salt or something. What's the one about a picture and with that thing on so-and-so's head? Oh, Greg. Jimmy had that weird thing on his head. That's pretty good. Backhand to destroy. Thank you, Pim Thumb. I don't hate them. I have a couple of Nickelback songs that I like on my list. Oh, Nick's one of those people. It says when they sold out in 05, they got bad. When they started taking, what was it, Michelob money? Oh, you don't mean like they sold out their concert. You mean one of those like they sold out. You know, it's like people only do things because they get paid. That's just really sad. Little, yellow, new print. I can't think about it anymore. It's giving me a headache. Well, that's the direction the sponsors have decided to go in. Yes, and it is the choice of a new generation. We will buy him to no corporate sponsor as he's pulling a piece of pizza hot out. Yeah, exactly, Meta Knight, man. Look at this photograph. Look at this photograph. Or the meme it became when they changed it and they cut out and it's him holding up a pie chart. Look at this graph. None of the lights are moving anymore! None of the... Whoever earlier said that I have a loose connection, the E down here is not moving. Like, none of the lights on the entire playfield are suddenly moving right now. I don't know what changed. All of those are pink. We're all caught up here. Okay, good. Okay, sorry. I'm doing an awful job of looking at chat. I am just very upset at the fact that the play field is not working anywhere like I'd expected. So that's lit. But notice, I'm going to move it over here. It should be right there. And now it should be on the S. And now it's going to come back to the E. Nick typed your symptoms in and it says you have network connectivity issues did you ever find Bugs Bunny attractive when he put on the dress and played a girl button what is that from that's a quote from a movie no yeah me neither I was just asking Okay. I just want you to know there was a moment when I looked down. Here, this is real. There was a moment, focus right here. There's a moment where I looked down and no, not the chat. I was telling the camera to focus right here. And the ball was jumping around and the ball like didn't make it quite as far as I wanted it to. And I'm like, no, no, no, no, it's fine. the lights aren't working as expected. It was like one of those moments where I'm like, are the balls further right than I thought it was? Like, things should be working as I expect them to? It was conflating the issue on the table with where the balls are going. That just happened, for real. Nick said your flashing lights are acting just fine. Those aren't acting right. None of these are acting like they should. Those are both lit right now. Nick's so mad you didn't play in the pinball Olympics. Nick, I'm also upset that I did not play in the pinball Olympics. Remember what happened last time? We all decided to go to a pinball convention, George, and then we did that thing we decided we weren't going to do because, hey, there's always next year, and then like two years later, next year finally happened. What are you talking about? COVID. Last time you went to a con, there's something you didn't do and you're like, I'll get to it next year. And then next year didn't happen. I went to the con, though. I was at Expo. Well, I know, but I'm saying whatever the last con you was, you were at pre-COVID. I'm sure there was something you didn't do and you said, no, I'll get to it next year. Ah, yes. Did I have that moment? It's fine. I'm skipping it. I'm going next year. That said, I mean, I understand the sentiment you're getting at, but I never did that. I literally signed up for every major con. I signed up for Pinberg, Expo, and TPS. George is definitely a con man. One of my great things in life is that I'll never get to set up a portable grill outside and just hand out pinburgers to people. man i could eat right now i apparently did not have enough food today i think i need to go back in okay uh oh it is oh hey that's an actual question uh k jetter k this i was trying to put i think it's jenner jenner okay jenner fits and the k's are kind of like x's when they typically use that feel free to correct us. But Jetter, this is really unique in that it has no ramps. This is a new pinball machine. It was a homebrew, a bit of a Cinderella story, where a guy named Scott Denisey developed a homebrew pinball machine based on kind of the aesthetics and theming of cyberpunk. and not only designed the pinball machine, wrote the software, and did all of the music, it's awesome. One of the greatest soundtracks of all time. So much so that you can actually buy the soundtrack separately if you can't get a hold of the game, which is the case for most people. Yes. So this game is awesome. And on top of that, it was the first time they introduced a co-op mode to a pinball machine, where two people could play two people or all four people could work together towards trying to destroy nine different nuclear reactors. It was a really unique experience early on and I fell in love hard with this game when it first came out. So, yeah. Also, 7-inch vinyl coming out with some of the audio. I purchased that. Ah, cool. Appreciate it. Oh, yeah. Dude, Jetter, ask anything, anytime. I'm always happy to respond to questions there. If you have any questions that we happen to not be live at the time, and there's no one in the pinball community to get a hold of, here's a link to the Discord. There's subheadings in there for about anything and everything you'd ever want to talk about. And if there's something you see that isn't in there, let George know. He'll throw it in there for you. Yep, we'll throw it in there. Potentially even create a new channel on the Discord. Kisco, this is the longest. and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. That said, maybe a temp trade. What I really like to do, Kisco, you are the perfect person to explain this to, I kind of want to get Iron Maiden back in-house for about three months. And Matt Adams on Pinside is selling his LE right now, but he's got it up at a very expensive price. I wonder if maybe I could talk him into taking TNA for three months and I would get Iron Maiden in and then Kisco, I want to battle you. I want to make that happen. You and Sarah, who both have it. That said, I need like a week on it just to get up to, actually, I'm probably not going to get to your level. But I do want to get up to at least a non-embarrassing level of play. Flip stream just turned into a barista because you're getting roasted. Anything and everything you might want to know, plus all of George's books. Nick says K-Mac might be getting rid of theirs. K-Mac has probably personally put a thousand games on theirs, and then it's also routed. I don't know how I feel about that. You don't really need the premium, I feel like. In fact, the game gets a lot harder on premium, which is the only way I could potentially come close to competing with Kisco, would be if he doesn't change it and has to hit all those really hard shots. I'm just not a Discord person, says Pinball Princess Jillian. Jillian, Discord is amazing. It's basically Slack, but better integrated with all of the tools. The only thing it doesn't do right now is a calendar. And that kind of sucks. Yeah, Cyborg and Ellie just went up for sale in the town next to me, and they want $15,000 for it. All right, Hefe, what is your question? Yeah, what is your question? Non-pinball related. $15,000. Yeah, exactly. It's consistent with what they're apparently selling for right now. I don't think anyone's buying them at $15,000. I'm going to send something off to Matt Adams I think just to see if he wants to do a temp trade and also maybe get a feel for what what he would take I don't know that I need an LE or want an LE I really don't like the music but man I'd like to play that game again would you go for X-Men and swap out the soundtrack? oh yeah yeah I'd work with Pin Sound and it'd have to be Britney Spears right You better This happened on Tuesday A player had a zero point tilt on Meteor Since there's no tilt through he got the ball back What should the ruling be? Oh Wow A zero point tilt Since there's no tilt through What is He got a zero point tilt On Meteor Meaning it didn't hit any switches But he tilted out but somehow got the ball back Viper says to keep playing and Nick says technically he would have to plunge he was nudging really hard oh so he would have to plunge and no flips and Hefe said he was nudging really hard I trust is this a tournament setting? yeah I don't know No. Whatever, I lean towards Pinsomniac on this one. Because if it was in a tournament setting and it was just my friend being a jerk, I would just punch him in the arm as hard as I could. Oh, I don't know. It's probably plunge and keep, whatever the score is. Yeah. I don't think in a tournament setting I've ever seen anyone subtract a score based on any kind of a situation. Plenty of people. with that. If it's legal, they absolutely need to do something with that. Well, thank you everyone. It is 1 20 AM. My kid is going to find some reason to try and wake me up at seven. I don't know why she always does. I want everyone to have an awesome evening. If it's still technically Thanksgiving, wherever you're at, please continue to enjoy it. I feel like I'm going to go eat something before going to bed. And happy holiday. Likely be back on at some point this weekend, maybe for a surprise stream. It's kind of tough to sneak in a stream that doesn't overlap with other TPN people. And speaking about TPN, let's take a look at some kind of battle you were having on Monday, George, that people could tune into. Right. Let's see what's happening events-wise on TPN coming up.

And then on this channel on Monday, right now, uh, unconfir... I need to send out one more confirmation email, but right now tentatively, it is another tag team battle between, uh, Fox Cities Pinball, that is Tom Graff and Neil Graff, his son versus me and Escher on Monday. Uh, I just need to reconfirm with Escher that he's still on for Monday and that is starting earlier again. Jedi McMuffin, if you happen to be on here. so that's starting at 8pm on Monday so going from 8 to 10 because we are battling somebody on the East Coast time zone so that's happening Monday, Tuesday we'll have the standard stream shifted slightly where we have Dice hopefully if you're available and Surreal potentially in stream who knows, maybe we get some Outer Stacey Tracy and some Joe Hills as well and then a standard Thursday stream Also coming up on this stream, a tentative agreement to battle on Total Nuclear Annihilation. This game right here with Pinball Undesirables. So we need to finalize a date at some point in December, but that's coming up as well. So really looking forward to it, guys. Hopefully we have at least one battle every week coming up to Christmas. I hope you guys have a great rest of your holiday and might see you this weekend if not check out TPN that is the pinball.network you are happy to go you should go check out that website and otherwise at some point Dice by the way who's on stream here Dice will be streaming pinball we're going to get him to do it so if you're not already following Dice click on the name in chat he is actively chatting currently right now click that follow button give it a go So, Dice, do you have anything else you want to add before we call it a night? Yes, I was thinking about this while you were speaking. I would like to petition Fox Cities Pinball specifically for his son to change his legal name to Neil deGraff Tyson. I'm going to, if you could just remind me on Monday, if you happen to be in the stream. Absolutely. Yes, thank you. Oh my god, that is a gem. That is amazing. We need to make that happen. Pinsomniac, thank you so much for showing that link there. Check out the website if you've not done so already. Lots of links to all kinds of different stuff.
