Hello, hello. The master is here. Hi, Sonic. Me and the game are going to be beating. Yeah, probably. By the way, how is the volume, everyone? Is the volume good? Because we went back to the wireless mics and there is a lot of wireless stuff happening today. We need the foil helmets. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Have you figured out how to run Hogwarts Legacy on the Polycade yet? It's a little fuzzy. Is it fuzzy when we're over here by the pinball machine? Because I think the quality sucks over there. Try to tilt. Welcome to the stream. And also, we just got a follow. Who was it that just followed? That was... Badafaka! Hifting skills aren't fantastic. They're fantastically excellent. Hifting. Hosting. Hosting. Hosting. Thank you. Excellent. Excellently done. Thank you. Yes. Yeah. Um, you can take that crap and stick it back in the toilet that you just gave me. Okay, so, uh, the only issue right now that I have to address is the video for the polycade is frozen right now, and I noticed that as we were showing it off, so I gotta fix that. You wanna jump on the first game? Sure, I will, I will touch a pinball machine for the first time in a while. Oh, you know what, we're gonna turn off the music first. I'm sorry. We have Foo Fighters ourselves out, I feel like, at this point. Are you sure you didn't want for me to play before you opened the door? Yes. Yeah. I know what happens. There we go. All right. Here we go. Watch some amazingly awful. Sorry. Oh. What the biscuit? That's uncalled for. That was quick, wasn't it? That was so quick. It's just one game, though. It's just you. Oh, it's just me. Yeah. Oh, I see that. I see that now. I see that now. All right. I'm going to aim for something flashing because that's the way you do it. Nice. I like that. Fataflaka says, just getting in the pinball. Foo Fighters Premium comes next month. Will be my first pin. Congratulations. Congratulations. Yeah, congrats. It's a great first pin. Brooklyn Pin, good evening. Okay, so before you go too much further, pause for a second. Pause it. That left ramp right there is how you qualify or start your mode. So that's what you want to hit. It's flashing because it is. The van is flashing. So you need to get into the van in order to drive to a city to host a show and help defeat the overlord. You need to get in the van to drive? Yes. What if I just look at a car? The van is what you get because you need to bring your whole band with you. Is it better to backhand it? It is super easy to backhand. Ah, biscuits. If I knew how to aim... Brooklyn has room for one pinball machine. I have three. I've been there, Brooklyn. No! You see the hat? I am Mrs. Nesbitt. Oh, my gosh. I really like that intro. I bought my second before the first arrived. I love it. Stop! You kicked your foot out. I did a thing. You did a thing. I've come with a question of the night. Primed and loaded. Dice, I'm ready. Is primed and loaded redundant? You prime an engine, you load a gun. Aaron Ennis. Which is it? Are you primed or are you loaded? I'm always ready to go at all times. For when you're all ready. And thank you for noticing the cool lens. That is a Sony Master Lens, the F1.4 24mm. I think it's the 20. It is the 24mm. Hey, I did a thing. You did it, yes. As soon as you looked away, it happened. Exactly. As soon as that happened. So really quickly, you get to choose the city you go to. And each city has its own mode. And look at the shops that are lit up on the table. Ooh, I kind of like the purple. Okay, Dice, for the question of the night, only wants opinions, not facts. And in your opinion, how long does a body need to be buried for it to be considered archaeology and not grave robbing? I think it depends on your licensure and call of duty. Oh, not that. Sorry. Okay. That's hard. That is very difficult to answer the question like that. Would you say over 100 years? No. I think at that point it's still grave robbing. I mean, this is based completely on opinion. Okay. Chaotic saying a few thousand. Meta Nightmen. In order to redeem it, I think we have to level up first. I think that becomes available at level three or level two. What? The ability to redeem the first-time chat sound. Ah. Go! Aaron Anna saying a thousand years. Okay. Are we ready to play play? Play play. Okay. H-Cat, how long does it take for flesh to disintegrate? It feels like archaeology should be... Ooh, H-Cat. I like that. I like that a lot. That actually makes a lot of sense. Okay. Before we play another one, do you want to go play around an ape out? Yeah. Let's do it. We can't do this two player though. I mean, even though... I am so amazing at all games. Yeah. Okay, so hit the green button. Oh, somebody just did Dance Panda. Just redeemed. First chat sound. How did you redeem it? 2017, my 10th anniversary. Okay. Did we just roll up? Yeet! Yeet! Skirt! Yeet! Yeet! Skirt! Skirt! Roll up! Yeet! Drop that! Yeet! Skirt that! Yeet! Pop that! Yeet! Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! You never loved me, Mom! We're getting there. Thank you, Tice. All right. So we're ready to play Ape Out. Jay-Z, hit it. The green button? Green button. Now you get to choose. Keep it with subject four. We're going to go through the beginning again. Okay. And you are going to, let's do a new game. So hit down, select new game. Okay, we're starting over. And if you guys aren't familiar with this game, it's brutal. Just heads up, but it's amazing. Do you want to narrate? I'm narrating. Okay. And I forgot, which button is it? Left trigger, right trigger for the... It is just the bottom two white buttons. Those are the only two things. Just figure it out. Because there's only two buttons. Figure it out. Figure it out. I love hearing you say that. Hi. No, no, no, no. That guy didn't even have a gun. Is that not supposed to kill him? No, it's fine. You can kill him. Oh my god, that's right. No, no, no, no, no! Ah! No, no, no! Ah! Please get my turn. Okay. Daisy died. My turn. Alright, you get to split these spots. Here, you go over there. Okay. Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick. Okay, I love this game. R.I.P. Harambe. Enter. Alright, where am I? Okay. So George is running down the hall as a giant, was it a gorilla, a silverback gorilla? He is literally punching people to death. And trying not to get shot in the process. I want to point out, do you see all of those body parts right there? That is, yeah. What is that? Can you push the light? Are you allowed to punch the light? I'm just curious. This guy is really bad. Okay, you have not. Pick a gun. Pick up a gun. Pick up a gun. I'm going to pick up a gun. I'm going back. So I can walk around with this gun and then I can throw it at somebody. Does picking up a gun give you more... Oh, there you go. This is... Ow. Oh, now you're bleeding. You're bleeding to slabs. Somebody made you bleed your own blood. Facts. Like people who still believe in faith and new life. Like that. Here we go. What about the blue box? Where did the blue box go? Oh, no. I made it in. I really should have just ignored them. All right. You're ignoring me? No, no, no. I should have ignored all the people. And just made it through? Yeah, exactly. But you wanted to kill. Kill, kill, kill. Yeah, I wanted to kill everybody. The bloodthirsty ape. Yes. All right. So we're going to hold the left flipper. get into, I don't, evidently I don't have home play on anymore. We're going to go two players. Are you ready for this? Also, we're in level two right now. So you can see the aesthetics change completely. Also, somebody responded earlier. It was a big response. Here we go. Try to tilt. Noun. Oh, try to tilt when facts as opposed to opinions. Now I understand. But noun. Archaeology, the study of human history and prehistory through the excavation of sites and the analysis of artifacts and other physical remains. It is very rare in archaeology to work with organic materials. We're doing opinions, not facts. Yep, okay. It is my opinion that facts are valid answers. Pick up the gun! Yes, you can pick up the gun. You can't shoot the gun, but you can throw the gun at people. And it really is just a brief... Is there an advantage of picking up the gun? It's a distraction, like a temporary distraction. Now, we've already beat the game once, and the game gets harder. Zoe and I have actually beat it. Okay, so... That's why Zoe doesn't let me play, because I'm the best. So, I am going to be player one, you're player two, and let's see what happens here. Alright. There we go. All right, so the first thing I want to do is spell van. Right now, I'm given the V in van. Do you see it in the sideways letters right there? I do, I do. And you get letters by hitting the white shots on the play field. So there's A, there's N, and now we're ready to actually start our mode. So I like to start off with Los Angeles because it makes you hit all of the ramps. Hit the ramps. The ramps are really important in this game, and it kind of forces me to dial it in. What do you mean by dial it in? I have to find those ramp shots, otherwise I'm going to struggle all game. I'm going to be patient, come back here, wait for this green one to open up again. If you're saying that you're being patient, are you actually being patient? Like if you have to tell yourself to be patient? Yeah. I think I get what you're saying. Don't panic, Cliff. I'm not promising anything because tickets go on sale tomorrow, but I may or may not be in Colorado in September. Okay, okay. A string of concerts. A string. Is this a string cheese incident or something? A string of concerts. Not a thread of concerts or a rope of concerts. But a string. But a string. Specifically a string. That stinks. We got close. We got close. All right. To be continued. Oh, my gosh. To be continued. Zoe's disappointment at the end of that movie that we saw. Oh, my gosh. Don't, yeah, don't say it. No, I'm not, but like your kids learn the frustration of to be continued. So, really quick, Dice is talking about being out here the 7th, the 8th, and the 9th. For Frank Turner playing acoustically at the Stanley Hotel. So what's really cool about that is, Dice, do you know what else is happening that weekend? Do you know what else is happening that weekend? Is that Loser? No. Five Death Cabs for Cutie? Nope. Those are two other concerts we're going to. Dory Mill. The Camping King Ball Weekend. So Dice, if you come out here for the Stanley Hotel, the Dory Hill is just a short drive away. You'll be getting high in Colorado, yes. And if you come out, you obviously have to hang here. I mean, wasn't that John Denver's motto, Rocky Mountain High? No, am I making that up? But it sounds plausible, doesn't it? It does. Okay, now I hit three of those shots. I'm ready to start. All right. Back. Was that a death save? No, so that's the overdrive. It's a special thing about this game is that it has this cool feature that Jack Danger invented. Hit that shot. Cool. Sweet. you you you you you Thank you. Requiem for a Dream? I mean, that is the name of the movie. But it describes one of the characters. Oh, no. Like, the goal. I will crack out people in New York. There you go. Guys, yes, there is Panic at the Disco in the background. It is, it's there. There is the Requiem for a Dream pinball machine. I hope that is never happening. It is. High five. High five is exactly what that machine would be doing. Is panic not loud enough? Do I need to turn it up a little bit? Dr. Strangelove or Have I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb? Not enough widespread panic, though. I'm not a widespread panic fan. It's so funny because my ex-in-laws were huge widespread panic fans. What does that mean? It's like cliched almost like Dave Matthews band and CCR put together. Okay. That's a good description, right? And the folksy of music. Yes. Folksy rock. You do know those names. Folksy. Do you say folk? Folk. Yeah. Okay. So what I was getting at there is they would go to multi widespread panic concerts and they followed them all around the U And I love panic at the disco but they more preferred to the panic So we get very complacent. Did they invite you to a show and your reference is not what I expected? This is not what I was expecting. These people are a lot of folks. Yeah. I think if you say it right though. There's no right or wrong. Did we not live through three years of widespread pain? So I want to read that line. Sorry, I have pens on my brain now. And now I want to read that line. I'm going to read it to you. Which is Matthew Perry's character. If you have not watched it yet. Did we not live through three years of widespread pain? Yeah, no? Yes? I think you can probably do it. What? Leave that one to me, babe. Hold on. We've got too much stuff going on. Ball is moving around. Okay. I mean, on Pretty Odd, Panic at the Disco did have a sound call. Keep Vulcan around. Vulcan? Vulcan? I don't know. You're going to give me a thing about that. No! Did you say Tolkien or Tolkien? Tolkien. You have been told. Yeah, it's even, that's the joke about the two white actors in Black Panther. The entire movie are both from Lord of the Rings, so they are the token white guys. The token, it can be said, the token. Yes. He's the token. I'm not a black man. I'm trying to think. The token fantasy guy. Yeah, but you say it the same token and you wouldn't say token. Token. Maybe I do say token. You say library. What is a library? A library. Oh. You know what's a library? A library. It didn't register at the start. I'm not engaging at all with what you're saying right now you have that conversation you're a full bastard Okay, first mode is done. Los Angeles is now lit solid. So now we need to hit... A few more shots. Let's find that right orbit. Missed it by that much. There we go. So we're on to our second mode. Now I'm going to do New Orleans because I have a ball in there that's prepped for multiball. Say it right. What? Knowledge. Knowledge, sorry. Just like you're saying Mississippi. That was really mean. I was talking to one of the, my lead from one of the teams, and we were going through cities in Massachusetts, and I hit this one city where I was like, I don't know how to, is that Worcester? And he was like, no, no, no, it's Worcester. W-O-R-C-E-R No, C-E-S-T-E-R Worcester? Worcester. Worcester. Worcester. It's like Worcester sauce? I know. Exactly. Exactly. Queen Dark Lady, by the way, saying folk and token have L's in them and should be pronounced. I'm going to say the word both, which has no L, just by how some people pronounce it. Both? Do people say both? Both? Yeah. Hey, TBL. Hey, Jillian. Pinball Princess Jillian, welcome. My wife pronounces both with an L. I make so much fun of her. The one that got me today was somebody, by the way, pronouncing it not et cetera, but et cetera. Do you know, for the longest time, I was raised with it being pronounced et cetera, So I put the abbreviation as PCP because I did not know. I did not know. Did you know? Oh, my God. Guys, please pass me that espresso as opposed to espresso. What is your errand? The current pin collection is Foo Fighters, Mandalorian, and Walking Dead, which is the smallest we've had pins in this house for a while. Ah! Sorry. I mean, again. I projected. I mean, you would like it. I mean, I'm in it. I'm in it. Uh, we're at another round of scenes. Uh, come to Fantastic and you can play pinball in... Worcester. Worcester. I mean, in four guys. I don't know if it's four guys. Yeah. And um, yeah, because of music. Oh, oh my god, oh. All right, cool. All right, so I need to get back into Nolans. There's one, two. All right, what I want to hit is that shot there, just because I haven't hit it yet. tonight on purpose. And it's a very fun shot. You know what? Now we're going to try the right orbit. Totally got there. I'm going to try that right orbit again. And third time's the charm. I really want to hit this right orbit. Too much, too little. Whatever. I'll take that as a freebie. Whatever. Whatever. It's Worcester. Why does that sound familiar? So what looks like it should be pronounced Worchester is pronounced Worcester. Worcester, yeah. Very Massachusetts. So you think it was like a Boston ice at first. you you you you you Thank you. Oh, thank you for subscribing to our good team up. High five. High five. High five. What did you think it was high five? I thought you were a regular. My cat's on? And Meta Nightman just redeemed a first chat sound. What's the sound? We made a good day. Oh, that was awful. That was really loud. I think you broke it. So you got like a glove. Meta Knight Man is your sound. But that was really loud. I'm sorry. Ow. Yep. That's what I'm saying. Also, we're at level three. So, yeah, keep it frenzy. Sorry. Thank you.

Sorry, have you ever had your long-ass snarls? Yeah. Alright, come on. Somebody help me out there. Did you pay Target Packers welcome? Oh, that's right.

But fun fact, there used to be a place in Fort Collins called Debbie Bear Donuts, and there was a chocolate donut shop. That is what happened. We're going to get you no fun cake. There was actually a visit from the company's museum, which I was like, We had an anthropology class that was studying the decay rate of tissue and bones in the laboratory.

I don't know that movie. Dice, can you explain to George ever so eloquently what Who's That Girl is? I am trusting that you know what Who's That Girl is. Dice says, my oldest brother was in a theatrical Mary-Kate and Ashley movie because he was in New York to see Simple Plane. I don't even know what Simple Plane is. That's a man. Oh, okay. I'm in the business of misery. Let's take it from the top. She's got a body like an apple. Oh, am I? Am I? Jay-Z, you mean the one from 87? Yeah. With Mad. Mad, Mad, Mad. He was yelling, woo, woo, woo, woo. Wow. I gotta jump in here. What? You gotta, you gotta, you gotta. This? The life of an uptight tax lawyer turns chaotic when he is asked to escort a young woman, newly released from prison, who persuades him to help her prove her innocence. I forgot about that. Who's the leading male in that part? Whoa! You only got a danger? You shifted the earlier machine and I didn't get a danger from the last one. I have no idea what you're talking about. Here we go. And... moment of truth. Is it a little hand-held? I have no idea what he's saying. Could this be our hard-hitting thing? Yes. Well, I can't read that. Uh, Zombie Yeti. I mean, it's nice. It's... Zombie Yeti is definitely one of the best. I can't believe you are phony. Getting dangerous for those. You're going to watch this back and you're going to feel like, oh my gosh, I did not chose that. That's what you think. I mean, did you have a tote bag in you? Yeah. Did I open the door? What? Yeah, did you put a tote bag in you? I did. I didn't move it away from the other one. I do need to actually move this back, though. That was a pretty significant shift. Yeah, go deep down. I, yeah. That was a pretty significant move. I'll give you that. All right, so we're still in Chicago. We timed it out. You're not going to hit me. That's just a little bit too. All right, what do I got to hit here? Maybe it was just a very smooth. It was a very smooth push. Yeah, the fact that you have carpet lighters on the bottom of the pin has nothing to do with it. I don't have carpet lighters. I kind of wish I had a carbicle. Oh, that was crap. Eesh. Eesh. Izzy, I didn't say I gave her a ride. I said I had her in the cab. Oh, my gosh. I can't believe it either. A ping pong machine that blows no fog getting dangerous? Woo! So, Bird and the Worm, speaking about amazing songs, this has got to be up there as maybe one of the best emo. I don't know. The whole industry is very weird about what is emo and not, but this has to be one of the greatest emo songs of all time. Ow! Ah, okay. So, alright, let's see what happens. I'm going to try and switch us over to the polycade. Oh, wow, it's still working. Let's do it. Jay-Z, you're up. So hit the green button to start again. So we're switching it over to play some 8th Out. And we're playing 8th Out on the polycade. This is so much fun. I'm gonna pause. Ah, that's it. How do you go back? There we go. No. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, no! You threw one guy into another guy. How do you pick up the gun? Hold the other button. There you go. Now go through the doors. I'm bleeding! Oh, and you made it through the first level. Alright, that's gonna heal you up by the way. Okay. Uh, let's see here. Dice Dice is definitely in my top 1000. It's hard to create a list like this because you have nostalgia and then you have what's generally good but you're not really attached to. Oh my gosh. It's a... No, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. No. All right. I made it further than I did the first time. Nicely done. Nicely done. All right. What the... Really? What? Hey. Hey! Wow that was some good business there Oh no no no no No no no no Ah There you go. Oh, my gosh! It didn't happen! What? Go and get him, Mark! Go, go, go, go, go, go! I'm on it! Uh-oh, the bomb people! Oh, no! I love the jazz drums, man. Is there a way you can heal yourself after you've been shot? Whoa, you got the bomb. Nice job. It does. This is how you heal yourself. You actually make it to the next level. That's the only way you can heal yourself? Yes. Wow, this game is intense. It's so much fun. This almost reminds me how, like, what was it, Wolfenstein? What are you doing? Aim, run, stick. Oh, that's right, the bomb dude. Well done. Wow. It's a very straight line. I sat and thought about this last week. I'm actually writing an article about it right now. There's albums that came out and you were just the right age and feeling all the right feelings. And those will always stick with you. And you may always call them classics. But then there's the stuff you missed or new stuff that's in theory on par with. Go ahead. No, no, no. Keep going. Keep going. on par with, if not better than what you grew up with, and how do you reconcile the two? Did I tell you about that, George? No, I don't think so. I don't think we talked about that. If I didn't, that was a great unintended plug. Yes. So where are you writing that? It's in your top 1,000. Okay. So on that note, There are, we were talking about a little while ago, like movies. Okay, so this is like a two-part thing. Movies that, would you like them if you discovered them now, or do you only like them because of the nostalgia, right? Right, like Star Wars. Or. Flight of the Navigator. No. Flight of the Navigator is amazing. I mean, it's a very slow movie. Very slow. Okay. And there's just like, there is a, an extended crescendo in the middle of the story. but then other than that it's pretty boring or ET okay did you type that before I said ET dice are we just on the same page here because I was not looking at chat I don't understand the love for ET I saw it when I was 7 and couldn't keep my attention yeah again I feel like movies in the 80s and 90s were just a bit slower. Now, here's the fascinating thing, and I'm going to get a little nerdy on here, is that our brains are literally being remapped. Well done. Our brains are literally being remapped. And the attention span and retention of super young Gen Zers is way different than any generation previously. so they consume knowledge at a rapid rate at a very very rapid rate but the retention is down the retention of said knowledge is down so then when you put that that into entertainment that the movies and history and and tv shows need to be fast super quick super quick because that is I mean, they're used to and accustomed to five-second bits of entertainment. Yeah. Also, does E.T. make you want James Rees's Pieces? I hate. They're like candies, James Rees's Pieces? Uh-huh. I hate those. It makes me want James Rees's Pieces. I do not like them. They make me sick to my stomach. You need the chocolate to balance it out, in my opinion. James Rees's Pieces has a hard candy shell that's made from milk chocolate. No, it's just candy and peanut butter. You're saying there's no chocolate in James Rees's Pieces? The little candies? Mm-hmm. I mean, I didn't think there was. Oh, my God. Is there no dairy in James Rees's Pieces? No, because they put powdered milk in the peanut butter. Sorry. Mm-hmm. I mean, I can make you some dairy-free peanut butter candies. Come on. I'm just going to say it, going back to my all-time favorite cartoon, Gravity Falls. If you can't watch and retain, you're going to have a bad time. Mm-hmm. I mean, yeah. George, what are you doing this weekend? Anything fun on Saturday? I'm now going to a crawfish boil that Ty, a.k.a. Meat Jell-O, is hosting. Is that his name? That was his nickname on the stream. Meat Jell-O. Yes. So Ty made a big deal. I know. I love crawfish too. Ty made a big deal about making this stuff that he described as kind of like having the consistency of meat Jell-O. Okay. I did not mean to do that. I mean, unless you're having vegan jello, how jello is going to meet jello? Do you know what gelatin is made out of? No idea. The cartilage of animals. Oh, well done. Okay. Spam. The stuff inside of hot dogs. It's all meat jello. Yeah, there is a gelatinous consistency to spam. I kind of wasn't paying attention there. Okay, did we, we finally completed Chicago, at least. you you you you you That was the worst multiball of all time. You know what? Favorite fast food breakfast item. Yo. All right, Jay-Z. Favorite fast food breakfast item. Actually, don't do fast food breakfast. Like, I've grown up too many times. Oh, what do I need to hit? That shot right there. Yeet, yeet, skirt, yeet, yeet, skirt, back, roll up, yeet, jump back, yeet, skirt, duck, yeet, pop back, yeet. Hey, hey, hey, hey. You never loved me, mom. Got an extra ball there. Look at that. Stream level four with that extra camera. McDonald's hash browns. Okay, the hash browns. You were? Why? Because I didn't want to suggest the chat to a woman. That was a little premature. Um, I don't know what I'm saying. Right? Right. I don't know what I'm saying. But in the not too distant past, I discovered that Wendy's now does breakfast, and they have a honey chicken dinner. So it's really good. What's that? What about you? What's my favorite? As somebody who does not routinely have fast food breakfast, I would have to say McDonald's hash browns. That's one that I will definitely make a point to stop for. Okay, so we've lit our first mini wizard mode. There is a cheat. From the time Subway opens, I'll make you anything. So there you go. Two piano keys. Darn it. Okay, and we're ready for D.C. Since I'm going to D.C. next week with you. Hey. Hey. We'll do DC. E-mail kid activated. MTR. Ooh, we have another extra ball. That is definitely a vibe, guys. Please tell me I did. Okay, I did hit the extra ball. Parade. What do I got? I have to hit some of these shots. I think I've bricked just about everything. Also, I have another extra ball, which is now gotten. Hey, you did something. I tried at least. I'm not a flower, you know. How you doing? And it's a double drain now, right? Hi, Squalido. Welcome. My Chemical... Oh, wait. My Chemical Romance is going to be in Vegas for When We Were Young. No, they were there last year. They're not there this year. Guys, double check. Yeah, it's Green Day and... No, no, sorry. The two headliners are Blink-182 and Green Day. Oh, you're saying there's a rumor, but they headlined last year. Yeah, if MCR was going to be there, I think I would make a point to go. Oh my god, yeah, we're definitely doing the VIP seats if we ever do that again. What better way to have an audience than by not being gay? Oh my God, just give me this one shot. That's all I need. One shot. Woo! Sorry. Are you okay? Okay. Time's up. Josh, what did you do on Friday? Five? Six? I went to the gym. I was at the gym at 6.45 a.m. this morning. And how are you feeling about that? You know, at this particular point, I think it's okay. I got tired there for a little bit. But I'm going on this one. Yeah. Okay. My second multiball, maybe. I don't know what's going on. If you only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow. I maybe don't understand that. Danger! Yeah, but that was awesome. Wouldn't it be amazing if Jack's face popped up every time there was a danger? That actually would be really cool. Especially on this game. Yeah. That sounds like a stomachache waiting to happen, guys. At 5 AM, I was drooling on a pillow after eating a pizza with pepper jack cheese versus jalapenos, I should have a head of buffalo chicken, I'm not a good burger. But, would you hate eating a taco pizza? Not. And uh, VPR, have you seen if this game has a death foot page? I'm sure it does. I'm sure it does. What is death foot? Death foot, that's Jeff Bezos. I think we already completed the mode. That was a big win. you you you you you I have no idea. I have no idea. I'm serious. I'm serious. This pizza was whispering sweet everything into my ear while I ate it like, redacted to the street. PG-13 status. Like, I'm supposed to find a show as good as, oh, as this stream. Oh, we are the Seattle champions. Somebody's getting in here. The last person to do something was target practice. Target practice is still here. Let me know what your initials are. You are the new Seattle champion. I'm going to go ahead and just do TGT and give you a little bit to try and figure it out. Or to respond back. Speaking of this green quality, did you all know George has merch? As always, Dice, the ambassador of stream fun. 95 million on the Seattle champ. Okay, I'll take it. All right, what time is it? It is 1145. Why don't we switch over? Oh, oh, Jason's already on it. Your game didn't end. No, no, it didn't. No. It just picked up where it left off. Left off, guys. You hit me twice. All right. So if you weren't watching earlier, this game that Jay-Z is playing, she's playing on the polycave back behind us. And this is a game called which is just fantastic. This is the highest quality, oh, that's right. I turned off the music. Here is the game. The cool part about the game is the integration of like jazz music. Oh my God, did you see that? Yeah, you did. Did you see that? Yeah, I did. I got it. Hold it left, trigger. There you go. Hold the left trigger and pull back. Oh wait, I don't let that guy see you. Oh, trigger, trigger, trigger, trigger. How did he miss you? He was right next to you. It has to be in the storm circuit. All right, other trigger and then pull back. Pull, pull, pull, pull. Now put it in front of you. Fire, fire. I don't know. I don't know. And now you can do it. Do it. Oh, this way. This way. This way. No, no, no, no, no, no. This is the highest quality tri-blend cotton. It'll fit to any form, including my gelatinous glob. So if this bird can make a hideous club like me, it's like halfway presentable. Imagine how great it'll look on you. Tyson, barge, action. Don't do it. There's people behind you. They're going to shoot you. Oh, no. All right, switch. Switch you? Yep. Switch. Switch. Oh my god! That's not humor? No. Are you sure? I mean, no, you really like my shirt. Oh no no no, he's behind you! Bam! Yeah, Devon Crace, this game is amazing. amazing. It is amazing. What even is this thing? It has had a tape out and it is on the, um, what platform was it? Steam. Steam platform. I know. Isn't it a great soundtrack? It's very, uh like it reminds me of old style yeah yeah oh get him get him get him oh There you go. Oh, bomb! I got one more. Well done, well done. Old Sky Zone would be an amazing badminton. Yes, believe it would. Whoa Whoa That was bad Yeah, they crowded you, dude. All right. Oh, man, it's raining hard outside. Who knew we suddenly lived in the Pacific Northwest? Yeah, dude. Are we calling it or one more? We got one more game in us. Let's do this. I mean, you're going to be like, did I, no. Did I do right? I hit the start button twice. You did. You did good. Can I go? You can, but you could, oh, I guess we're not listening. Oh, I should put the music back on. The music. When did it go? Right? Yep. When did it get so rainy in the mountains that your butt stayed in the heaven? I know, Dice. your heart I you you you you you Oh, there we go. There we go. Got that last shot. That move is done. All right, now we're out of our multiple. Welcome to the stream. Right? Yeah. Welcome to the show. Trust that your joy is high, your heart is light, and you left all anger outside before you came home today. And X says, indeed, I do. This microphone is not active. I don't know why. We're going to try that right four-bit shot. I say, barge in I'm in love, I'm in love I'm in love, I'm in love How do I get in there? From that side I say, barge in I'm in love, I'm in love There it is, that's where I am I'm in love, I'm in love I'm in love, I'm in love I feel like that is combining one too many songs. What if Stacy's mom was Jessie's girl? and her number was 867-509 yeah I like it what other songs can you combine like that the narratives can you compare or combine lost the camera and X just cheered 100 bits that's fantastic thank you When you see my face, I'll forgive you hell. I'll forgive you hell. When you walk my way, I'll forgive you hell. I'll forgive you hell. Oh, Don't Stand So Close to Me with Papa Don't Preach. And when I said shine to God, didn't ever get you. How about Don't Stand So Close to Me with Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit? It's just one of those days when you don't want to wake up. I mean, the messed up part about that is, if you combine these. Don't stand so close to me with music. I actually have no idea what the lyrics for Don't Stand So Close To Me are. It's a better, cool song because it's a song from the future. I don't think you can stand so close to me. Jeez. Okay, how about after a teacher and don't stand so close to me? Well, one is from the future, 20 years, and the other one is from the future. Oh, no, two is the same. That's thank you. Yeah, make it a notification. on top of the leveling system. Oh, so if you lose a camera, we can share 100 bits and it comes back. I get it. Yep, yep. That's how we drive new content. Thank you. Hey, George. Hi, George. Thank you. I don't know. Why not? What is Centerfold, guys? Is there a song called Centerfold? Yeah, there is. I'm surprised your parents don't know it. I'm sorry. I'm like, I just don't know it by name. Uh, what is the lyrics to Centerfold? Angel in a Centerfold. You know the riff if you've ever heard it. to me you can take back your memories and don't get to me seven crazy things I know that one you can love me with a sad sad that you were so wrong yeah yeah skill shot when you walk my way I'll be good to you I'll be good to you I swear that I'm worth a damn I do know this song. I do know this song. Who would be the angel in the world? Does she walk? Does she talk? Does she come to please? My home will remain. Would it be hot for teacher? Hot for teacher in the world of angels? No one could ever stay. Press again, shall we? Oh, my God. Let's hear it. New York. Let's hear it. La, la, la. And there it is. We're going to win. We got an extra ball. Oh, yeah. Try again. Yeah, I'm going to try that. Now we're going to go there, to there, to there. Got it. Seattle, sure. Let's grab that extra ball. I feel like we're really going to need it. That should have done it. We got the extra ball just in time. It's stuck now. The only thing that can remove it is the cars for good stuff. Don't push it till it's done. Can you put the other music back on? Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Her husband's a CPA Her dreams went out the door I've seen Bowling for Six Live, that's more than any other band. What happened to her band? What happened to their house? She was gonna shake her ass On the hood of White's car Are they from the same area? It's now the enemy Looks at her average life And nothing has been all right October will be the 19th time. Are there local bands? Yeah, how does one see a band 19 times without actively looking for it? Looks very frustrating. That would be a good poll type question. What band have you seen live more than any other? For me, it is Incubate. Jay-Z, what about you? I don't like this radio. I've never seen a video like this before. It's so bad. It's not bad. I think it's bad. I mean, the only bad thing that I'm feeling more than what is happening. Is what? Time. I touched her. What? I touched her. Ah! You see what? Did you? Okay. Because we were at the show. We were there, even though we didn't actually watch it. And we learned a lot from it. Okay, so Dice has been actively looking for Bowling Pursuit. Most entertaining band that you've seen. All right, let's switch over. We've got at least one more game on this. Eight o'clock. Oh, I've got to turn the music off. Bomb! Yeah, he's a bomb guy. So the bomb dudes are in brown? Yes. They have bombs, like ticking bombs on their backs. Don't panic there. You still have more bogeys in your life. Go ahead and roll the hand. Okay. And X has seen Merillion seven times. That's good. One more. You got it. You are going backwards. I didn't think I was doing that. Okay, X, what are we watching now? This is a video game called Ape Out. I'm going to give it to you. Ape going to give it to you. Oh, you are so good. Oh, nice save. No, no, no, no. Ah! All right. What do you do with the bombs? You can pick them up and then aim them. How do you pick them up? With the left one or the right one? Yeah, with the left one. And then you can throw them? Yep. This is a yummy dice. Yes. Oh. Knock, knock. Mother Rapper Oh no! Go go go go go! Ay ay ay! No! Oh, you just cursed him! Harambee's Revenge? No, uh, Oath Out! Stop stopin' the jack! Oh, we've got this, we've got this. Knock Knock? That movie is ASL. It was my zero out of 10 lucky day game. I don't know what Knock Knock is. Uh oh, what's the other one? I got this. I got this. I got this. Nice. That is awful. Awful, awful, awful. What did I say? You'd have more fun shoving toothpicks under your toenails than kicking a brick wall. Okay, this reminds me of laser tag right now. No, no, no, get him, get him, get him, get him, get him! Uh oh. Got it. First alarm. That means it's going to try to trick you. Boom. I got this. I got it. I'll do a digit. Good night, guys. This is the good part. Woo! All right, so change. Oh, wow, I made it. Whew! All right, all right, all right. Making some progress. Made it to the end of side A. Yes. Like a record. Side B. Power down. All right, so this is where it gets interesting. Power down, power down, power down now. All right, Jay-Z, you want in? No, I'm good. I got to go to bed. I have an appointment at 9. All right, all right, all right. Can you use the push button quickly to dodge bullets? This looks like one of those just one more games. Oh, it definitely is a one more. Oh, sorry, we need to be back on camera over here. Hold up. So it is definitely a one more time. There's no question. Every time you play it, it's like, oh, God, it was one tiny little mistake. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Dice, have a great night. Bye. Everyone, thank you so much for hanging out. Let's go find someone to raid. Raid? Oh, you know what? I'm sorry. Before we do that, before we do that, I want to show you guys what this looks like really quick. So we're going to go back to the polycade. So the polycade is awesome. Let me show you what we have available to us. Good night, Meta Nightman. So, you guys can see these are the games and this is what happens when you scroll through the games. I hope you're having fun, Rinku, with Zelda. Zelda. So we have Cuphead, Cult of the Lamb, Contra. I am getting joysticks that will allow me to play all the recharge games. Castle Crashers, which has been going really well. Zoe really likes Castle Crashers. We're playing Ape Out. What else do we have here? So this is the Polycade back end. I got Tetris Connected added. We got Shredder's Revenge. Tanooki is one of my favorite games. What a cool game to play. That's the... Yes, exactly. Riding a skateboard. I mean, it might go quick. You can probably do... I can show it. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the launching will take longer than the game. Honestly, yeah. It does. Yeah. But the music is really cool. It's got, like, a synth wave feel to it. Yeah. It's just awesome. This entire setup is great. Especially the Windows XP platform. It's not Windows XP. I'm just kidding. I'm kidding. This game uses an auto-save feature. Please do not turn off your system. Also, I think you can kind of see the layout for buttons here. All right, so we're going to go over here, and I'll show you guys. All right, let's do this one. So Hans ATX, it's called Polycade. In fact, here you go. It's Arcade. Here. Oh, no. Alright, so this is a really, really fun game. Oh, that's so cool. Is that over the difficult? Right there, right here. And then you have some cool moves here. You can go backwards. And then you do a little spin out move. Alright, alright. And then you got some big turns coming up. All right, I made it. not so this is the upright arcade as opposed to though the wall mount yes oh no i'm sorry i was looking down at rico all right yeah um but not paying five thousand dollars yeah it's uh it was expensive for sure but it's it's it's fun it's fun yeah i don't know i'm gonna call it too anyway i just wanted to show like these are some of the games um there's a few games i've been playing that have been a lot of fun on here um we've got og metroid megaman micro mages and then we've got new games like minute um lumines has been a lot of fun. Hue I can't play yet. Gris is gorgeous. Hades is super fun. Have a nice death. I've only got to function properly. Geometry Dash is what we loved. Gato Roboto is a lot of fun. I'm trying to think of what else. I need the other controller to play Enter the Dungeon on here. Same thing with Cult of the Lamb. Cuphead is just ridiculously difficult. But overall, super fun. So. If you want it, you got it. That's what I think of when I see best of move. Yeah. Anyway, y'all, thanks again. JZ, thank you so much for hanging out. Boom. For streaming tonight. Thank you for having me. We will be back on next week. And we're going to continue doing this, I think. Like playing games, heading over there, playing probably more Ape Out for a bit. Like it is hard to beat Ape Out. but it has that, God, I want to keep playing it feel to it. And it's gorgeous. So good night. Let's go find someone to read. See you guys. Are you familiar with the Pinball Network? If you're not, maybe if you just give me a moment to speak directly to you about what the Pinball Network is and what it could mean to you. The Pinball Network is a collection of content creators across multiple media. It's YouTube, that is podcasting, that is Twitch streams. Okay, I'm talking to you. And they do it out of the goodness of their beings, out of the goodness of their souls, out of the goodness of pinball, to further pinball as a hobby and the community. That is the reason they do the things they do. They do it for you. so if you're not familiar with the pinball network you should be I suggest you check out all of those people who are a part of the network you should give each of them a follow if what you're interested in is soul enriching pinball related content
