And see you. Okay, good, good. You guys, if you can, you might have to refresh. More like 10 for you, Joseph. Yeah, I never got anywhere in Dragon's Lair, but I loved the game. And then MPT3K showed off Space Age, which was the same company's sequel that was the same thing, but just cooler. It was awesome. I feel refreshed, Dr. Cremaster. And we're back. May require you look refreshed. Dr. Bluth's animation, Don Bluth's animation is amazing. I don't know, I couldn't hear a lot of what MPT3K was saying, unfortunately. I was in and out of meetings, and he definitely, I feel like, said the name Don Bluth while he was streaming it. But the animation on both of the games, Dragon's Lair and the other one, was just top-notch. Wasn't even worth trying to save that. Oh! That totally makes sense. got it Don Bluth is the animator and he did the Land Before Time which is still to this day one of my favorite movies and The Secret of NIMH that's gotta be up there as well maybe for animated films that alright top 10 animated films Land Before Time is definitely up there you know and there's difference like Lion King should be up there but Lion King is not one that I want to watch all the time, so maybe my favorites, I should say. And by favorite, I mean cartoons that I like re-watching. There is Big Hero 6, All Dogs Go to Heaven would not make my list, unfortunately. Land Before Time, Fievel Goes West, we'll see, we'll see. I did like that one. So, uh, Big Hero 6, Land Before Time, um, Tangled. Uh, let's see. Tangled was amazing. Really, really well done. Um, maybe, uh, Finding Dory would be up there, uh, because Hank is awesome. Actually, there's just a bunch of good stuff. Frozen 2 was amazing. It gets, it's a little depressing at points. I gotta, I'll admit, maybe Moana would be up there. Ooh, Titan AE was really, really good. Um, however it's spelled, Frozen 2. Akira. That's interesting. I don't want to bring anime into this. I feel like anime is just a different genre. Let's call it, uh, I guess young adult, young, young, I don't know how to differentiate, but not, but not anime, because anime opens up a whole other, a whole other, uh, bag of dog bones. Yeah, different class, thank you, Joe Soap, yeah. And Freedom 2074, welcome to the stream. Uh, what else do we got? We've got, god, there's, we, we have a ton. I'm trying to think of, oh, you know what? I can't watch it a lot, but Coco was amazing. Flat out, just a work of art. And I think it got the animated, not Golden Globe, whatever, the Oscar. I think it won Oscar for best animated film. And it definitely was, oh, The Nightmare Before Christmas. Do we count Claymation? Yes, I think we count Claymation, especially if it's geared towards kids. Wreck-It Ralph, Muddy Ripples is really good. Unfortunately, it got ruined for us because I watched it with my daughter, and the whole time we're concerned about the violence a little bit in the shooting section, and she's six now. I think she tried watching it when she had just turned six, or maybe it was late five, but that was okay, right? Because it's a video game. She's going to have to get desensitized, I feel like, a little bit, uh, to that, but at the end, when the, the, the bad guy who, uh, so it was the, and I'm gonna, I mean, spoilers here, if you guys haven't seen, um, if you guys haven't seen, uh, Wreck-It Ralph, don't listen for a second, turn it off, but, uh, the bad guy is, uh, is the, the Candy Kingdom King, who is actually, who, who left his, his game, and I don't remember what his game was. And he ends up getting bit by one of the creatures from yet a different game and he turns into one of those creatures. And him, through the fire, trying to eat Wreck-It Ralph is perhaps one of the scariest moments in all of Pixar, DreamWorks, Disney television of all time. That destroyed that movie and cartoons in general for months for my daughter. So Wreck-It Ralph, while I appreciate it and it's all game-based and it's all some of my favorite games because I still to this day love original Pac-Man, I love Joust, Arkanoid, 1942. Those were all the games that I really enjoyed playing on my retro arcade cabinet before I got rid of it. And Wreck-It Ralph not only has references to those but also is just perhaps one of the most evil moments in all of kids' cartoon history. Let's see here. Q-Bert, yes. Q-Bert's cool. My wife loves Q-Bert. Different class. Flight of Dragons. Dr. Cremaster, maybe you mean How to Train Your Dragon? Because I don't know Flight of Dragons, but How to Train Your Dragon 1, 2, and 3 were all very good. I mean, 3 especially, but the first one was also pretty solid. So, I don't know where I am on my 10 list, but I feel like we've gone over a lot of the really good ones. Solid, solid. Hit that Ah, that's what happens. That's why you don't do that. Flight of Dragons was an old animated flick. I think you would like it. I, Dr. Cromaster, I'm gonna have to check it out. All right, we got a Jenga situation here. There we go. relit our locks and first lock. We're gonna get that. It's fine. Another opportunity to plunge it up there. Get some more heat on this nuke. Ugh. Here we go. And let's see, IMDB. I'm going to click that really quick so that way it's open and I can check it out afterwards. Let's see here. I just like using Don't Panic Flip's bathroom because free TP. Yeah. We don't have a ton right now. So, yeah, bring your own TP. What ply is the TP dough? That was surprisingly difficult to read, by the way. Yeah, that's the one I found for James Earl Jones and John Ritter. I like John Ritter. Thank you. Oh my god! No! No! That was crap. That was crap. And caviar salt. Alright, so we need there and there. I did not have a ball save available to me just then full plunge here we go while there's a ball save active And once again! You know what? I got greedy. I went twice. Once is okay. Yeah, has anybody else seen it? Ah, crap. Nope. There. Yeah, okay, yeah, we're fine. We're fine, we're fine, we're all fine. Alright, at least one more game. This is, if it's a good one. Secret skill shot, 100,000 right off the bat. And a ball lock. Like, there's just no negative on that shot. I am such a fan. Here we go. And Jenga. All right. mystery award and we've got one shot left on the grid that was dangerous whoo i guess we go start reactor and maybe we'll get a free lock or something like that just located a copy and will advise next stream. Okay, good. And that one and Land Before Time were my go-to while staying homesick from school. Hope you enjoy it. I'm excited to check it out. Should we let Scoot to start reactor? Yeah, thank you. I'm trying. That is only slightly frustrating Alright, there's a mystery and a start reactor. That does nothing for me. I don't care about the bonus. Yep, yep, yep. There's another ball lock. That's not working out at all for me right now. That worked, though. One more shot. Got it. Got it. Woo! Reactor unlocked, and we're going to get an extra ball. Oh, no. Mystery Award. Is that ball... Oh, that was ball two. Okay, we're fine. We're fine. That was just ball two. And Dr. Cremaster, it is... You know what? Hold on. That does not work. Did I spell that right? Yeah. Anyway, it is Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. from 10.30 p.m. to 12.30 a.m. Mountain Time. All right, game. I don't know why you're playing hard to get all of a sudden. Oh, my God. Add the extra ball! Add the start reactor! And double flip! Welcome to the stream! Wait, what is it? Sketch? Schedule! I'm really surprised I don't have a schedule. It's got a... I know it's set up on an automatic timer to come out. Eh. And that was not good enough. We have time for one more game. Welcome to the future. Here, you stay there. Not a good idea. But I did it anyway. I have no regrets. Woo! Do I go for it? I think I go for it. Oh no, that was early. two more one more two more now one more All right. I mean, I feel like we were playing okay earlier, hitting the fourth. I don't think we ever hit the fifth reactor tonight. I think we hit fifth last night. that was a big waste right there that was just a lot of exactly dr kermaster no regrets uh sad uh like the sergeant from uh from brooklyn 99 no regrets had it both ways i think he was talking about one give me that back give me that oh we're cool we're cool double flip i don't know that i would call this a hype at all we're doing it we're doing it again thank you I really want to free up the left flipper, so I'm going to try and backflip it. Did not work, but that's fine. And let's try to backflip that. Back... Yeah, back... That wasn't a backflip, really. That was just a backhand. Thank you. Thanking myself for giving myself the word that I was looking for. There's a mystery. This is our first reactor. This is an embarrassing performance. All the way around. Nope. Can't get lucky. Cake. The best car band but worst live band combination All right all right we fine here All right. I mean, it's right there. Just hit it. There we go. Now we got to work our way back into multiball. Do you have any pachinko games? No, I do not. Right now I'm down to four pinball machines. We got TNA, Tron Jurassic Park, and Harlem Globetrotters. trying to pull together enough funds to finish purchasing another pinball machine and then waiting for Rick and Morty to launch, to get built. I am number 367 on Rick and Morty. And let's see, you're four. I missed Deadpool leaving. Double flip. That is too bad. Deadpool left, I think, two days after I beat Deadpool. that's I I don't know if I'm gonna keep TNA and I definitely don't want to say I will because I that that I'll get that held against me if I end up getting rid of it but uh Deadpool was amazing great game played I think over 600 games and finally finally beat beat it all it was amazing I saved that moment that will definitely go down as one of my one of my favorite pinball moments but uh but yeah moved it around got uh got jurassic park and have been working on jurassic park i think that is also achievable to get to uh when dinosaurs roam the earth so you guys uh my name is george uh this show is don't panic flip we are on episode i not episode stream 250 hold on of course that's down 254 uh we stream three nights a week that is monday tuesday and thursday from 10 30 p.m to 12 30 a.m mountain time uh we've got tomorrow off uh but thursday uh we'll we there's a lot of we there i'll be back on uh on thursday and definitely playing some jurassic Park. That's with direct video. Looking forward to, I don't know, I just want to beat that entire game. I don't know that I have any particular things that I'm looking for right now other than, I guess the first step would be to beat all of the mini wizard modes and get to Escape Nublar. We've done the Escape Nublar challenge a bunch. In fact, we should probably do that. I'm checking my watch that doesn't exist. I think we've got till the 31st to submit our best time. Right now my best time is 3.36 on Escape Nublar. I would love to see that in the below three minutes as well. So maybe we'll give that a few attempts and then keep working on trying to get to the end of the game organically. Checking your wrist hair. Exactly. Yes. And big plans for five years. Five years Annie at 260. Nothing big. So we did 250. We did, I put together a little video of some of my favorite moments from streaming over the past couple years. We will... I'm going to hit two years streaming, though, May 10th. So whatever stream we do after May 10th that will be the two years probably end up doing another big event, probably end up doing a Translight giveaway for that, and then we'll plan for another Translight giveaway at 700.
