matches like oh god oh yeah are there matches up no not yet no okay we'll find out in a minute all right friends you are tuning in to the northern kentucky open 2022 happening live all day all day from eric's basement all day all day we have tons of good pinball what are you most looking forward to today brie godzilla it's playing really nice good godzilla's playing well yeah i really like that game too yeah for those who tuned in last night they didn't get to see that because we're doing all the older ones game of thrones yep really i changed my strategy so i want to see how it plays what's your new strategy on game of thrones uh well i was talking to carlos and he was telling me about um choosing baratheon so that's what i've been doing oh yes and then live on the spinner is that the idea um it advances your wall multiball faster and then it also gives you the out lane ball save if you hit it which is really nice so i normally play tyrell that's how i talk how to play um but yeah i'm excited to see how that works me too i've been up all night playing you stayed up practicing just for this day i stayed up because there is pinball yeah when there's pinball to be played what else are you going to do exactly want to take a look at these matches i would love to yeah do you want it okay let's see if our matches are coming up here not found we just drew matchups and it looks like round one is up so we're gonna go to elvis to watch kyle carlos jason and aaron face off for our first game of the day and we're going to oh i see uh that's going to be all games yep yep yep yo yup yup gotcha thank you there we go oh i'm first on quick draw all right my friends that was quick yeah you're up first you did get a quick draw on to quick draw so we're going to start on elvis let's check out that moving games cam oh hold on one sec we're gonna get that working all right we'll get those games uh linked up we we were good until a minute ago but you'll see up here we're gonna have our matches are below up top we're gonna have our player cam we'll have scoreboard over there yeah anyway you'll see when it comes up but uh this is our first game of the day we always work out the bugs a little bit and this is uh this is my brother brian over here hi everybody so brian is brand new to pinball is that fair that's fair and uh what are you looking forward to today uh seeing some quality pinball played yeah and when it sounds like there are some excellent competitors here today i'm new to the scene so it's just fun to check out and see what everybody's doing and people are excited and passionate about pinball so can't wait to see more of that yeah i mean we've got uh a really really passionate group here folks are driving in from all over to play uh you know driving three four hours to come play here and here's eric moving our game moving over to elvis there's our uh fearless host and tournament director eric wurttenberger who's also going to be playing today and uh not me though i'm here just for the commentating and uh i'm not even here for that uh i i'll tell you what i'm looking forward to is some of these early matchups so typically when you have players that maybe are you know more regular tournament players you'll have them uh face off in the later rounds over and over and over again i love the early rounds where you have players that don't normally play together playing in the same group so we're going to see that here i think with kyle carlos jason and aaron and we are going to be watching the game cam here right now thank you uh we've got everybody all moved over and kyle koch has stepped up with his first ball to start off match play looking fierce why open as always so you saw the matchups there again at the beginning you have players that maybe don't play as much together uh because the the matchups are um are not based on how they're doing and then as it goes through the tournament you'll see that you'll see players that more tend to bunch together in terms of how they're playing so not a great ball for kyle there carlos is going to take a swing at it carlos uh he is really good well he's good all across the board but he does really really well on some of these newer games elvis as you can see is a dmd game so relatively newish compared to some of the ems we played last night but i've never seen carlos play elvis before so this will be fun thank you kentuckiana pinball for the compliment i wish i could take credit for how the stream looks but eric does all the hard work around here we've got some really fun new features this year we'll be doing tutorials uh on the games as we go will we be able to do replays if something really cool happens and of course we always welcome uh clipping so if you see something cool man clip it and let us know because we can always go back and watch that later we'd love to we may even ask you to clip a couple things while we're working here what can you tell me about the machine so yeah so uh on on elvis you've got a few different multiball options so um you can see over on the left on those drop targets that carlos is going for once you knock down elvis and then shoot the right orbit uh that will start uh is it all shook up that's over there uh so this is you start a multiball that way you've got a multiball up the left ramp and you also have uh the heartbreak hotel multiball which is going to be on the upper play field right above where elvis is dancing there's a little hotel and you can start a multiball up there as well there is a 2x multiplier option in this little spot target in the middle and if you can start that multiplier oh that was a rough one for jason there if you can start that multiplier while you're going into a multiball obviously that's the dream so quick up and quick down for kyle jason got a little bit more out of it than kyle was able to but aaron's gonna try and disrupt this carlos had a little bit of a longer ball but didn't get a whole lot done i don't think he got what he wanted out of it he was living on those drop targets got that 2x uh qualified at the top always nice gets one more toward all shook up and uh get enough loops and you can go into blue suede shoes looks like he's going right ramp for all shook up hoping to qualify that there's that tcb uh score doubler so you get uh scores double for 20 seconds but you can't extend that when you hit with targets again and let's see if he can take advantage of that by maybe starting all shook up we'll be looking at all kinds of different games today so if uh if you're familiar with this one i guarantee you're gonna see something you haven't played before or don't know uh deep rules on because eric has quite a wild collection of games from lots of different arrows and lots of different manufacturers aaron's getting a little bit better of a ball here he's already up to 3.3 got a couple of half ramps that's always a bummer when you're rattling around on a ramp and oh see you can see he hit just left on that i noticed that up till now he was doing a pretty good job of not letting that ball go down the center hole and then it did go down this did it which was the opposite of what he was hoping strategy wise okay you know kyle koch back up hoping to make a little bit more out of this one oh now if i'm not mistaken and uh streaming friends you can correct me but uh the the super skill on this is a short plunge to the upper left flipper if i remember right and then the drops uh which can take you right into the mode that otherwise you would have to knock down all the drops for and then shoot the right orbit if i remember right there's a super spinner mode starts every time you complete the elvis target it's very cool this oh he gets a danger out of that but he was doing the right thing he was trying to save it with some nudging there just couldn't keep it out of the right outlane i don't see any references to peanut butter banana sandwiches anywhere on that board we gotta look closely towards the back oh is it there's a there's a glob of peanut butter on every machine you have to shoot around thank you kentucky and a pinball confirming on that super skill loss is going to take another plunge at it a little dead flip there so he can get under control looks like he might be trying to postpass to get it over to the other flipper tries to backhand the ramp no luck there settles into the left out lane and why not right for the saucer for the lock you can see that lock is blinking again let's see if he goes for number two i think oh nice i think he's going to stop and backhand it again let's see or is he going for the ramp he's going for he is yep all shook up [Music] oh go right as he starts the mode no luck uh you can start your modes uh the gift from elvis is sort of the the modes and mystery features you can start that uh over here behind the drops with the follow-up shot that we talked about uh or man if you can if you can get that super skill right you can just jump right into a mode oh not what jason wanted there i do like his hat though trying to get fancy that's right oh what a bummer what a bummer you get that ball back this happens to me more times than not is when i have a really like i get that ball saved i barely got the ball saved i'm all relieved and then i immediately drain i don't know if i'm just too excited to have it or what no same with extra balls extra balls never score as much as uh as the ball that came before them that's kind of a metaphor for my my life all right let's see what aaron can do looks like he was going for those flashing drop targets the elvis drop targets on the left to light that super spinner mode and start to potentially start modes jailhouse rock lock so he's going to try and shoot all of these flashing shots all over the play field trying to spell jailbreak while picking up all these jackpots if he can spell jailbreak which as you can see is uh nine shots then he can light the the super jackpot man quite a bit picks up another jail jackpot there the scarf award take that out of ball attaball also restarts your uh your ball save which is super helpful he's trying to finish to get that super he's down to two balls on this multi multiball he had an out of ball down to two but two is a lot more controllable than three or four so maybe he can uh can finish his jailbreak here pick up that super gets the tcb score doubler fantastic win in multiball but unfortunately no longer in multiball let's see what embry let's see what he can do kentuckiana pinball says extra ball is worth 10 million in this game and doubles with that playfield multiplier boy that makes it worth going for an extra ball for sure welcome back bree hello how was your quick draw it was good 78. nice yeah we'll see if it stays i was player one so yeah quick draw is an interesting one because it's a two player em so you play against one person and you record your scores and then another group of two plays you never know if you won until the other group exactly yeah kind of odd starting all shook up there see if we can collect these records no you see those uh flashing ramps there that's what he's going to be going for nice drop catch that was really nice yep yeah nice and clean snuck it into the video mode which is nice um i definitely learned how to play this last night so whenever you get video mode you should always like flip your flipper to make it level three so that you get more points ah right it's sort of like the in high speed when you have to speed up the gears to make it worth more i love high speed so much i'm always like okay let's go i immediately get five just hope for the best this is dance dance revolution pinball style right here it's good left right left so let's see uh kentucky and a pinball if if uh aaron can follow your advice here and find that ball yep scores are doubled you can uh make that 2x go longer if you just complete it again that jackpot starts at one and then it'll go up by 200 000 every time so we're at 1.2 next one will be 1.4 there's a 5x uh bonus multiplier those are qualified those upper lanes i hate when i do that hold up the flipper so that it drain bows i'm like no is that the worst it is it is and you know you do it and you're like no or at least i do i'm always like no [Laughter] you know it's kind of funny started my tournament yesterday on quick draw started my tournament today on quickdraw yeah quick draw is for me is it's it's one of those games i can relax a little bit into i don't know what it is i don't know if it's i really like him or a two player but i always feel a little bit calmer when i'm playing quick draw yeah it's fun hello he's trying to get it right now on ball three trying to catch up he's uh quite a bit behind aaron miller uh at this point if he can get into second place that would feel pretty good [Music] thank you silver ball social club so it's nice when your ball goes back into the shooter lane you actually get a chance to get another skill shot so that's really nice that's going to be ball one lock for jailhouse there you go just needs that one more time to start jailhouse rock i just love watching elvis dance i'm a sucker for these little like toys i love this it's like the the dancing um cactuses oh yeah the dancing cats i love cactus jack yep i'm just a sucker for those martians not a bad ball from kyle koch he did get uh just one danger at the end there but i always say if you're not if you're not starting to tilt you're not playing enough pinball you know what i mean every once in a while you just need to that vent is just so strong it's really cold i know it's genuinely i'm so cold i have not warmed up from last night because eric cut the house so cold and so like i was curled up into a little like tiny ball i was like i'm just gonna save all of my warmth oh my gosh kind of crazy yeah eric keeps the house really cold which is good because this tournament's the middle of the summer but for sure it can be with all these people in here it makes sense carlos didn't like that ball at all and i don't blame him that was not at all what he was going for uh so it's jason's turn now to try and catch up to aaron miller's 50 million we'll see yeah we'll see about that elizabeth is right they're struggling yeah aaron's the only one who's been able i mean this is these are really low scores for this game yeah the 50 million is about right for a tournament score uh going into ball three but everybody else is really struggling despite our matching hats we did not pre-plan to have our show also on that hat yeah it's a good hat i like that yeah i was like i like that one i realized the other day i was looking back at old streams that i'm always wearing a vest in these streams and the reason why is because it's freezing in here yeah it's cold all right up in the pops let's see what he's got is there a super secret he says damn no super duper secret skill shot on this one i mean there is the super skill yeah on the left but i don't know if there's anything beyond that i am not the person to ask much aaron miller is going to plunge and walk off that's always a nice way to win a pinball game isn't it yeah the walk-off plus that feels good very nice so well played by aaron miller and um he's going to pick up his first big points of the day scoring is going to be 7-5-3-1 7531 thank you and then finals will be different finals will be four two one zero thank you i love having td because you guys know all the points and i'm not great at that so he's gonna walk away with seven points on that one kyle jason and carlos not a whole lot going on but kyle did take second place with five points and then carlos with three and jason's just gonna get the one and jason actually had a like a reasonable start but he just couldn't get anything done after that he got a million and a half he looked okay compared to the others yeah and then yeah i played this a lot last night too trying to figure it out elvis yeah this is one i don't see on location yeah which is strange because the theme is obviously so you know universal or somewhat universal i'm closing this vent just a little bit do it just a little do it i might be able to reach it all right nice i don't i don't know how tall things are i was like that was cute i'm taller than that for once in my life i'm tall enough you're the tall person like i only wanted like two inches i just want to be five seven that would be fantastic yeah what would you do like just reach slightly higher yeah you know i just i feel like that two inches would matter i used to be two inches i also then i got old could have been a model if i was five eight five eight is that what they say like that yeah you have to beat highway oh okay yeah somehow i missed my modeling okay i have big feet my mom was like you have model feet and i was like but i'm not tall enough never grew into him nope um so for those who are just joining i know we've got a few viewers just jumping on you are watching the nky the

really unique because you have these little tiny upper flippers that are just made to get those drop targets down right it's not a terribly like a lot of vms there's not a ton of power coming off those flippers so those upper flippers really help here comes diane's back when a tournament regular a fantastic player i think she's wearing a women in pinball tee whipped who chad got first on

stream thank you so much for saying that yeah we really like to do the commentating to like squint sorry yeah it says thanks you know having a dedicated commentator that knows the rules of the day makes it better and uh better than having folks who don't know what's going on i love rules so much i think that's why i like commentating yeah i'm like oh i love rules like i love you oh yeah yeah ridiculous that's right all right i'm like 50 50 on rules but i spent a lot of time studying up so that i don't feel like an idiot i i like rules a lot but i also like i'll learn all the rules for a machine and then i will be like okay this is crap and i can't do it and then like what's my new rule set like what i try to do yeah yeah like i love your guys as many miniatorials so if you're on the stream you'll see a few of those coming your way uh but justin and eric did a really amazing job and made a little like two-minute tutorial on all the games down here um so they're really cool and really awesome i can't wait to show them with you um but those are really helpful and it's it's pretty much what i want it's not like the whole deep rule set it's what do i need to do in a tournament and how can i score as many points as possible exactly that's what i want to know i want to know what are the things that's all i wanted most important like i don't need to know everything i also i also so i i like having two sets of rules so first rules is what should i do in my first ball and then oh god what happens if i didn't do any of that in my first ball let's take a look at our at our uh matchups right now so and you'll see some some player names you probably recognize if you watch uh a lot of competitive pinball but but as i mentioned earlier in these first rounds you get people who aren't typically matched up because they're you know you haven't gotten to the parts where it's like all the players who are really it's crazy chad and i are matched up right now i'm not in the right group [Laughter] so let's see we are on i'm just gonna refresh make sure we're all up to date round one very good uh here are match ups right now and you just watched our uh match up on jungle queen and before that elvis but we're gonna take a look at uh at some point all of these games today yeah i hope so too we really didn't stream too much of uh what's the one over there in the corner put the grand prix no not grand prix the one hold on i heard eric yell granny i heard eric that's what i heard i was like let's see if he's moving us over there we find out at the same time you guys do what eric's moving us to so we'll see let's take a look at the standings for a second while we're waiting i'm hoping to see more hot tip because we really didn't stream a lot of it yesterday and i love that game oh standings aren't up yet there we go so you can see all our seven point winners here these are folks who walked away in first place and of course there's going to be a huge tie for all these positions right yeah next round just went up means we're probably moving games where are we going he just has to tell me where we're going doctor who it is let's take a look at the miniatorial on doctor who i know how to play this game but we're going to see what eric says what's crapping in everybody let's learn some doctor who okay to start off you have a choice between one of seven doctors most players will choose one of doctor one doctor six or doctor seven starting off with doctor one doctor one makes video mode easier to qualify you qualify video mode by hitting these escape stand ups right here or by hitting the ball back into the pops dropping it into the scoop behind the stand ups to get progress towards video mode once video mode is lit you hit it back into the pops area if it drops into that scoop you start video mode which is one flipper for short jump two flippers for long jump can be worth big points if you get through lots of video modes with a 4x play fuel multiplier play field multipliers are increased by the upper ramp you shoot the ball up to this dead end lane and loop it around the ramp here each time you do it will advance your playfield multipliers in the middle of the play field if you have doctor six it will make advancing your playfield is much easier players will also loop this ramp 10 times to start the sonic boom mode which will light the w shot into the h shot into the o shot for a three shot combo worth up to 120 million points if you have 4x playfield multiplier if you choose doctor 7 that makes getting to multiball easier you lock a ball on each saucer up top the time expander will raise revealing a bank of targets here to shoot at which each time you hit them will fill up this grid of lights in front of them if you have doctor seven you have to it takes less shots to complete that grid and raise the time expander once again to reveal three windows once you shoot one of those three windows multiball will begin the three windows will reveal themselves again during multiball and each time you hit all three that is a jackpot worth an increasing amount of points that is also multiplied by your play field multipliers in the middle of the play field that's doctor who yes it is thank you chuck work now we get to watch it actually played and see these players walk out their own strategies for doctor who this is a machine i see a lot in uh in big tournaments i think probably because it's there are so many ways to win this isn't one of those sort of one-shot chopping wood kind of games and so you do get to see multiple strategies played out in the same four-person game our streamy favorite bree reynolds just stepped up as player two ball one going with doctor six like that play field multiplier let's see if she tries to build that multiplier off the ramps or if she's gonna try and start multiball first time will tell it looks like she's going for that for that left shot that left most shot don't be fooled by that shot it it looks like uh it you know might be a pretty easy do off the tip of the right flipper it is not at least not for me and then if you really want to make good on it you have to be able to kick it up that upper right ramp right off the right off the feed so it's it's quick it's a little dangerous for me there it goes that's exactly what she was trying to do picks up the multiplier trying to get the w-h-o shot indiana jones says chuck is the stranger things tech mvp got mine all dialed in thanks to him nice i know he loved having that one here at the house so not a bad start for bree reynolds went for that multiplier and got it could do a lot worse bree were you going for a 4x going into multiball yep yes i i mean we were i was saying oh i think she's gonna go multiplayer she's gonna go multiplayer did you end up locked i didn't see at the end yeah okay great not that i'm rooting for one particular person no it's good i get it that's okay i just like watching strategy come to life i like it yeah walk up to a machine and try and get done it's also it happens i normally go for video mode on this game yeah um but eric has those poppers so freaking like pumped juiced yeah that like it does not go into that little spot it normally kicks it right out at you and i'm like okay yeah look at those how long does your multiplier last um it will carry over but you will see me run to that machine because uh it slowly starts to trickle away as you don't play yeah so you don't want to leave it alone too long correct yeah yeah and if you keep hitting that ramp you can keep your multiplier going right oh yeah the upper right ramp you guys don't have to be impartial it's such a fun shot too oh my gosh and eric's is playing really nice so hitting those loops is yep very satisfying i gotta say playing eric's machines is always a pleasure he keeps them in fantastic and he keeps him like player friendly yeah player friendly so it's not they're not easy but the spinners are always used and the tilts are nice like you still tilt if you need like i really appreciate the way he sets up his machines he doesn't make him easy he pulls out a lot of the outfit if you look at a lot of these games all the outland posts are not there shadow has been kicking my butt all day so can't wait to play that one oh i love shadow oh i love shadow yeah so joe baer stepping up goes for the uh playfield multiplier option that's doctor six oh yeah he's gonna oh there's no ball safe on this right okay yeah he's gonna feel uh rough about that that was a that's one of those impulse things where you know it's right by that flipper even though it's exactly the wrong angle it's not the time to go for it yeah but he had the playfield multiplier so he's like thinking can i get that playful multiplayer and not a great choice but i'll be back all right go get him i do it all the time there's just something it's just a reaction when it's right by that upper flipper in any machine that has an upper flip right just i want to flip it so bad i lose star trek is is big for that one you know you've got that warp shot and i end up draining a lot just taking dumb flips at it so you're watching nathan now take on doctor who in ball two he didn't get off to a killer start so we'll see now that he's got his his uh second chance here what he's gonna do with it yeah oh goodness look at that those pops are juiced and it's going to go right to the out lane isn't that the worst man that's why you want to get your drop catch down solid if you can because what will happen is ball comes in on that flipper you've just got it sitting up it's going to roll right through right through that lane and just to the right out lane and that's the way the machines are built if you overshoot it there is an angle there where it's going to come up hit that little and go to the right out lane ah there's bree same mistake same mistake it's an instinct thing easy to make everybody does it was it was it same deal just the end funny i was like instinct yep and as soon as i did it i was like crap it's so hard not to sorry uh so dalviraland is going to step back up and she's uh she's doing great i mean she's starting with 17 she picks up dr four millions millions millions let's see what she can do with dr four it is mean yep it's brutal yep don't let it fool you i know i've had some really good scores on this over the weekend yeah i'm like okay still have a whole other ball it's fine yep i i every once in a while have a good game of doctor who but it is rare this is not my machine i like it i like it i'm just real bad at it i cannot do that upper flipper who combo can't do it playfield multiplier does not hold between balls but it lasts during a ball if you keep renewing it up the ramp you can get a bonus hold on this one right on the on the um i think so yeah if you go around the upper and pick up the scoop you can win a bonus hold and i'll have to i'll mention to eric that we're not getting uh uh playfield audio right now sometimes we can hear the players and the and the play field it's pretty loud in here so i don't know how much you'd hear anyway but uh but we'll see if we can bring that up in a little bit you're watching nathan brandt on ball three oh there it is right off the sling to the outlane off goes bree to do her best to upset dalvas 17 million right now up comes the uh what do you call that you know the thing time machine she's got some daleks to fight let's see what brie can do she goes with uh dr four spotting the extra repair letter she is able to raise up transmat thing majig what's that time expander thank you thank you yeah we go that was like time machine that can't be right yeah the time expander who needs a simple machine so i saw you got you got your time expander up you went to man you went to fight some daleks unfortunately you know you get it but that's all right you win somebody lose them yep so dalva does not have a guaranteed win here by any means uh joe could certainly come back and upset her so she's gonna try and uh make something out of this maybe maybe kill a dollok or two shooting into these these little uh hobbit holes up there we'll start your multiball we'll start start your multi i like that though my terminology is really on today good i like it they look like little curtains right with daleks there you go picks up a million lights video mode good video mode just 25 and you can see the the values of these dialects 45 50 and 45 gets the 50 million pointers start her multiball yep and i mean this is big right because this game has been really low scoring so far so 50 million points may as well be 30 billion compared to how we've been doing oh oh no ball saved so that's going to be the end of that multiball yep and since she didn't get her jackpot she can re-lock so you can re-lock up at the top so 50 million would be awful nice wouldn't it oh but she does walk away with a really solid lead over joe bayer and still good playing you know yep let's see what joe can do this is i mean again 33 million is by no means a runaway you can pick that up in one ball pretty yeah pretty handily if you can pick a strategy and stick to it there's a lot of different strategies you could choose too i mean video mode the upper loops you could go for a multiball there's a lot of strategy yeah i mean that's again i think that's why this is a tournament favorite sonic boom uh-huh you do who that would do it because i think you get six and then 2x play field ace 3x playfield yep 4x playfield pick up a million with a 4x right yeah i mean this is exactly how you do this if you want to come back and win this game absolutely this is the strategy right here amazing so look at this score right we're on 4x play field 14 million if he brings in video mode i'm a little nervous about that nudging man but i know i'm scared doing the right thing he has to win right he can't can't settle for 20 million he's got to come back all the way so take advantage of that 4x forex scores are still lit there you go it's always interesting to see different sonic boom next he does not get that last loop like you said because i would have chosen dr one and tried to bring in video mode because i had four times going the video mode on this is kind of fun jumping over whatever it is you're jumping over yeah trash trash i mean it looks like trash to me you can backhand that lock shot up there too somewhere the dmd artist is like who doesn't look like trash i'm sorry i tried really hard that is going to put him in the lead that's it yep so he could walk away at this point he may finish his ball either way he's good she should let's see content yeah i'm always like i would much rather i would rather see it like come on i just like watching pinball me too fantastic i mean there's a sonic boom there it is yep 30 million and 11 loops this game really does reward that looping if you can do it if you can be consistent and joe has been really consistent so think going into this ball right we said hey you could win this but it didn't yeah he only had what 500 000 or something going into it up against davis 33 and he just tore it up finishes at 150 million really really good very nice very nice yep yeah you have to admire that kind of come from behind victor yeah oh yeah definitely nice job to joe bear and dalva i mean they both played a good game but joe was able to pull it out at the end there yeah so that's going to be seven points for joe five for dalva nathan's gonna pick up three and you get your point as well i know i will take my point i do kind of like that do you get a point even yeah you don't win i hate four two one zero yeah zero it hurts like i don't want zero last night was a strikes tournament although you didn't want points really you do get an achievement if you get three zeros oh really called a goose egg a goose egg let's go to diamond lady let's take a look at the strategy on that one diamond lady a weird got lead from the 80s so weird let's take a look at it it's the classiest art in pinball it's not the classiest time to learn about the classiest pinball machine from the 80s diamond lady to start off when you plunge you'll get one of three modes you will get the spinner modes which advanced time to learn about the classiest pinball machine from the 80s diamond lady to start off when you plunge you'll get one of three modes you will get the spinner modes which advance your bonus you will get the ace mode which drops these two drop targets and reveals a stand-up target behind there you can hit that target repeatedly for a hundred thousand a piece or it will light the diamond hurry up which which drops all the black drop targets here in the middle and you can hit the outside drop targets quickly as possible to collect anywhere from five million down to zero for the diamond hurry up you can also start the diamond hurry up during your ball by hitting down every single drop target that is shown once you hit all the drop targets down they will reset drop the black drop targets only and the hurry up begins outside of that is very important to understand how to get your ball saves lit you have a center ball saved between the flippers and you have an outlaying ball saved to the left if you get the left outlane ball save you shoot through the left spinner and go around the back of the drop targets for the center save you hit down the drop targets that are at the bottom of the left and right banks these ball saves will only last a certain amount of time you have 20 to 30 seconds and these ball saves will turn off so it behooves you to continually collect these ball saves to restart the timer to play multiball you want to hit down all the red drop targets which are on the ends of the drop target banks once you do that lock lights at the right lane and you will plunge into your multiball during multiball it is the same rules as single ball play outside of the play field multipliers that are shared in the middle of the play field those are active during multiball only to increase play field multipliers you roll through the lit lanes that are up top the lit lanes up top will change with pop bumper hits you can increase the play field multiplier to up to 15 x during multiball that's diamond lady no matter what it just keeps starting that tutorial it really wants people to know how to play diamonds it really does but that's how you play diamond lady uh we are on ball three of diamond lady so we're joining mid process here uh but you're watching robert cecil play rc man how about those lit spinners right off the bat so when you plunge one of your plunge options and it's really random because they move so fast is lighting spinners yep he's taking immediate advantage on that one yeah you know the right spinner in my opinion is not worth it the left one nice nudge that was a really nice notch yep you say the right spinner is not really worth it but the left one that's where it's at when the left one's lit it's pretty nice the one thing that's nice about the right spin is that it does kick you up into the upper lanes for that for that multiplier yep so rc walks away with five million good showing on uh on ball three here jeff westerkamp is the nearest uh competitor right now with 2.5 but chad hobbs i can't tell you how many times he's ruined my day on ball three with some weird come from behind thing he tries for that right ramp really common off the off the shot oh no i want to see a replay on that because i don't know what just happened or why and i want to know i'm like i feel like i'm coming off the left yeah that was it i mean it just i want to see a replay on that because i don't know what just happened or what yeah all right jeff westerkamp i get to play with him all the time i really love playing with jeff he's a super friendly guy loves pinball he's most known for ems he plays ems really really well but he can play all the way around where was he last night uh he couldn't make it last night we didn't get either of the western camps last night sadly look at that sweeps a drop on the way down he's going for that last drop on the left and the one in the upper right and then he can pick up that big old jackpot but no little bit of a rainbow there just missed on the left flipper gave it a shove didn't quite work you got to be careful at eric's house you can't shove a whole lot yeah they will tilt on you i know when we played last night someone jud says didn't they yep twice yeah it was uh who tilted twice last night on diamond lady i'll say oh bill wahlberg yeah yeah so this is jason jason's fighting for a comeback here so yeah jeff is uh unfortunately gonna get at least second but jason would like to put jeff into third and rc into second if at all possible i do feel like he ripped off my look a little bit t-shirt vest and hat i don't know if he's been watching previous streams or what kickback oh no kickback i do have to kind of help it yeah that kickback's not real strong it's a little sad all right he's got a couple of targets left let's see what he can do center post is up yeah it's kind of hard to see it's super hard to see it's up yeah and that yeah that saved my butt last night so yeah he's got those targets that he's working on right now those will light his multiball yep and as eric said ball save is huge on this game um that left lane ball safe gets used all the time the center drop gets used all the time and the ball saves your time but you can re-light them yeah using that uh that upper spinner shot and the targets dalton says eric there fix your kickbacks bro lock is lit you see that countdown for the hurry up wouldn't that be nice that's a big old hurry up i mean for somebody who is in fourth place to be able to pick that hurry up could change the whole game unfortunately jason couldn't do it we had a little bit of uh kick off that drop target right down the center and that's gonna be it so um man these rounds are moving pretty fast they are for the eight round qualifiers man yeah i feel like i'm not ready for it to go buy this [Laughter] i need more time all right we're going to move on to a new one this we didn't have this on the stream yesterday yep we'll go to the moving games cam thank you eric moving over to godzilla this is a a really new pin i love this game yeah it's on stream all the time in other tournaments but we haven't had it in this one so i'm excited for that would you like to learn a little something about godzilla i would let's do it maybe maybe here's how you play godzilla maybe i don't think incredible utterly incredible godzilla pro pinball let's go to start off you'll have a couple skill shots you can shoot all the way around behind the upper flipper or you can short plunge and go right here next you want to light modes by hitting both ramps once you hit both ramps to scoop down hero light to play modes play those for big points next you can play multi balls the first multiball is godzilla multiball which is by hitting the three major shots the building and the two ramps hit these enough and the building will light green hit the building just i bet you all would like to learn more but they're already in the middle of playing and we don't want to miss it let's go eric's like don't forget the tutorial show it later so you're going to have to guess on the rest of it oh yeah we need to switch up our uh thank you so you're watching ross bergantino now our lead off player goes into multiball on mecca yep yeah mechagodzilla mecca yeah deadpool yeah i'm like meck mechagodzilla on this uh pro version is started over on the right by hitting that spinner a whole bunch and then qualifying those those spot targets just to the left of the spinner those spot targets are kind of hard to get to you kind of have to hit them off the upper flipper to get them reliably but uh once you're in hitting those jackpots in mecca is so worth it there's another it does own a godzilla no ross has one yeah so he knows he knows what he's doing man that is one of those shots that just drives me nuts yep you do the right thing and you drain forward every time unless you're in one ball play and then it gives you a ball save you get a ball sometimes this is a keith l one see here we go again oh he saves it with a really nice nudge save do you see that right off the tip of the right flipper that was nice 3x godzilla jackpot for 6.7 godzilla came out last year or this year i don't know this year right yeah it's another keith elwin design and Keith Elwin designs lots of weird upper loops and surprise turnarounds he likes doing that so there's a great example right there well ross is probably going to be pretty happy with that he picked up 22 million in mecca yeah made good use of that multiball for sure yeah last year rush came out this year last year rush came out this year got it thank you trans meta indiana jones and kentucky and a pinball all helped out with that one so thank you thank you guys yeah yeah he's going to be happy yeah he's going to be happy with that 890s a whole lot all right chad is stepping up right now this is ball three yeah chad markham was last night's um strikes tournament winner so hopefully he comes in today with all kinds of confidence but not too much confidence that's right yeah i kept him up all night for you guys it's fine playing pinball till what time to like three that's amazing so you slowed him down for today we all we all appreciate all the competitors appreciate it so he decided to stay in his city and rematch gigan um i personally think that that's a pretty like strategic move um because if you go to a new city you have to re-light your battle and then start a whole new battle um especially on ball three that's so much work if you know you're not gonna do it stay in your city yep and just keep getting those points start your battle then go to multiball yeah absolutely look at this fun little fun magnetic trap up there at all three yeah it's all three i think that's awesome i don't think i've seen that before i've only seen two that was cool that was fun don't worry he's got a ball save on this you can see mothra's eyes blinking down there which means he's gonna get that one back and he did jackpots start heat ray is ready another jackpot there he raised tricky i like that aspect of the game but it always like annoys me because i'm like oh i don't want to take my hands off the flippers yeah i happen to hit the action you have to like hold it down yeah you can't just like hit it you actually have to hold it that's true on mando too and i yeah mandalorian and i find it uh just so intimidating because i then have to trap up for it in the middle of a multiball i agree at least with mandalorian i kind of know when i'm gonna use it yeah so i can do it like preemptively and the heat ray hits every lit shot right it's just like sweeping uh hits every lit shot oh the new code update added those extra ball grabs thank you for that kentuckiana pinball um talking of new code the um the right thingy the oxygen is disabled for our tournament today is that the right lane ball safe it's yeah it's kind of like the million dollar shot in uh fast break oh i see yeah that can that can tip a game instantly huh yeah yep so working on that defense barrier over on the right nice nudging wow i think chad markham's done this before starts i think maybe he's played pinball before yeah it's kind of like toto on the wizard of oz thank you for that that's a great clarification so it's a it's a ball saved slash points for your dice yeah yeah fight for your life i do i do love those like having to earn your ball save that way after you drain is so cool or on the way out the drain better executed here versus widget of oz i yeah also agree i think it's more like uh the million dollar shot yeah i'm going to not publicly post around and i'm going to run it and find out what the group is that i want to do and then we are getting clarification on streaming stuff so that you guys get to see some of these miniatorials because we want to make sure that you get to see them because they're really cool but we also want to make sure that you get a bunch of pinball coming your way because we want to make sure that you get that too so best of both worlds i went through that with the chat so you're good what did i do nothing i went through that with the chat so they're gonna they're gonna get to see our awesome editorials and also see as much mimble as possible yeah oh yeah chuck had a fine idea to sort of give us a little heads up beforehand so we can play the minitorial before the game starts which would be perfect we don't want to delay our players obviously you know right the players are the biggest priority the stream uh we really want it to be great but we don't want to disrupt play so we'll do our best they don't mind holding for a minute but i don't want to make them hold too long look at that really great juggling i know chad's so good with ball control i love watching him yeah he really is i mean he's he's he can play subtly even in a multiball he can do tiny flips he can juggle one uh over to the other that's a real skill when i get into multiball i just panic yep especially like four or five ball multiball good lord just sheer panic i know very nice i take some guts right there while in trouble that was nice yeah right stage flip up there yep yeah again stage flipping is another thing right yeah to half hold down a flipper and then get the upper one real cool shoot you know what if somebody wants to clip that it's too it's been too long for an instant replay yeah but if you're willing to clip chad's stage flip that that upper loop because he was able to keep this trap on the left while getting the upper loop which is a great trick and keith owen loves and as does steve ritchie putting that upper loop as your super jackpot because it's damn near impossible in a multiple yep unless you do what he just did yeah which is talent yep we were for the amazing race that we did two weeks ago in columbus we were watching a game of roller games and we saw a staged flip to the jackpot and chris and i like lost the giants we literally lost our minds i was like i can't handle this right now i love that ramp too i love that game yeah roller games is is it's like one of those that just comes back over and over again into tournaments because it's just so beloved by players nice oh i thought i thought that was going to clear it but his faulty ball but went from 50 now he's at 250. yep if anybody was able to to clip that thanks in advance uh that's a big help you can clip it right in the twitch app you can do it on your phone you can do it on your on your desktop whatever you got but uh would be really helpful because i love that i would love to i know that was cool and i should have been faster on the instagram and i was too stunned i'm still in the mind to that but it doesn't work because when i tried to do it last night it didn't work i'm like it didn't work for me we picked the right game to follow didn't we yeah this is really exciting so he's just taking a look at what he's got looks like he might be considering going for tanks not sure oh he's down to his cities okay there's so much programmed into this game there's also so deep an entire setting for more goats that i really love for more goats yes really yes what is it i don't know i just it's on at below the one at level one oh that's awesome there's a setting that just says more goats and i was like yes i want more of course i want more absolutely what do you think naturally so this is really cool i love the aspect of power-ups in the game and i'm so happy that they put it in um so this is really neat it's a really fun um addition in my opinion yep so big fan of i agree and i agree that you get to choose your power up and that your power ups are leveled yeah you can go a level one level two power up and they're all different and they're very strategic so it's really cool like i also love that it's like you can choose which one you are gonna work for so like the first one that we just saw chad had the chance to choose was between um between mech uh mechagodzilla and then his regular godzilla multiball but he didn't really choose because he had just completed both of those so he's like yeah he's like it's even playing field yep are all the power-ups because i i don't know that i've gotten a lot of them since i haven't played much of the uh the new code are they all newer or have they been there from the beginning because i haven't played that much they have not been there since the beginning but i feel like that's a i feel like that's a double-edged sword i feel like they were there in the beginning but they weren't coded in so like right they were there they were supposed to they were there but you could not receive them um but now you can so like that was the code before the oxygen that's kind of rude they were there but you couldn't get to them well they've been eluding they've been alluding towards it for a long time which is why i was like powerups powerups and then they put it in and i was like oh my goodness this is amazing since i'm not wearing my stern jersey i can rip on stern for a second it's weird to sell something that has features that haven't been programmed in yet isn't that odd kind of wild like there are playfield inserts for it yeah anyways many games out there because you've got play testers and yeah they talk to their friends and more people than ever who actually play them all are working for stern and they hear what all their friends are saying that's right because the code gets sexy [Music] that you can choose it's going to be battle time bonus and then i didn't read the other one but i always choose bible time bonus deborah tallman just made a great point which is there are as many playtesters as there are people who own stern pinball machines right so they're constantly giving you feedback making the game better and better so that's true really nice to start to like listen to their buyers and hear what they're saying and you know to go from that which is really nice i like the fact that we jobs can to like yeah yeah just paying attention to keep adding features to games that is pretty cool and that's really nice it's like a pinball owner because like your game is always evolving which is really cool i wonder if that person whoever's job that is ever goes back and they're like you know we made this game 10 years ago yeah i want to i want to upgrade big buck hunter or something see if they can add something really nice run by chad marcus very very nice yeah i mean if i were chad stepping up again against ross's score that would have been really intimidating he went in calm cool and collected did a great job now willie allen's going to do his best to try and catch up at 64 million he's got quite a ways to go again ross is still got more than double what chad had but chad had a really good ball it's just really hard to argue with ross's you know yeah 200 million points and i would have loved to see the first two balls of frosted i know don't you want to yeah i'm always like how'd you do this yeah willie allen's no slouch he's a local cincinnati player uh he walks away with a lot of tournament victories and he is so like calm and quiet about it when he wins he's just like he's is great if it were me and i won like he wins i'd be telling everybody all over the place raymond fixed a bug in 24 when he started oh you're kidding that's so cool that's so cool yeah i love that i'm waiting for new code on meteor stern i'm just kidding um meteor has that really cool like package that you can add to it that's right which is really fun i've thought about it yeah i wonder if it's worth it it's really cool yeah i got to do we played on meteor did we play the meteor like added thing upgrade galaxy okay we played galaxy which was crazy but like i'm assuming meteor would be very cool as well uh but yeah i've thought about that for my media maybe i love meteor i i love meteor too it's one of those pins i'll never get rid of like you'll have to burn my house down to get rid of my meteor uh don't burn my house down [Laughter] you get movie call outs from meteor the movie what or maybe you know it was a movie yeah yeah yeah it's a movie from 1979 and i watched it uh when i got my meteor and it is also i believe the first movie theme pin ever made really and possibly the first license pin for uh for a media property wait what was wizard licensed after deborah tolman is a compendium of information yeah a veritable encyclopedia from listening to the vfw oh yeah that Joshua Clay does the guy that got uh-huh first license that's cool wizard here wait here captain fantastic yeah let me give you this oh no no i need to step away anyway i'm like come teach the public and people okay so people on the um the chat will know this too but um one of the two yeah captain and wizard um yeah were the the guy had just started working for the pinball company and um the movie contacted them and said gottlieb doesn't want to do our game because it's like our movie is too freaky for them and um this dude was like well we'll do it yeah and they agreed to do it for like a couple pinball machines i think was like the exchange so therefore it was a common subject it was licensed but it was just like here have some pinball machines like and that was what the movie people got and that was that was it and then the guy was like oh and then everybody um back in pinball central was like do it again yeah like i can't i'm like a noob i just like what do i do so he wrote down all of his favorite stuff and he was like i love evel knievel i love elton john i and he ended up getting most of those licenses eventually but the first thing he did was contact um elton and say hey do you want to do another pinball machine yeah i was like yeah sure and uh elton kind of went behind the producer's backs and like was like yeah i'll do a pinball and the producers were like but we didn't say you could do a pinball machine he's like but i'm out and john they're like you have a point and that was why the second one showed up interesting but yeah that was like the start of licensing and everything's blowing up from there really cool or Joshua Clay has said in his vfw stuff i love that thank you for sharing with the class so yeah that's what i know okay what who are we watching we are watching greg yes we're watching greg [Music] so greg is interview go find it you guys i'm gonna find it and Joshua Clay has a radio voice he's so yeah he does have a radio sweet and you just like wanna hug him and then you meet him in person you're like oh fascinating i love only hearing people's voices so then like meeting them and i'm like oh hello all right or vice versa like meeting them in person and then like listening to them on voice and i'm like oh it changes everything hi all right greg is bringing in his multiball i hear it boom sounds pretty good i like watching godzilla's javelins jiggle at the start of the multiball [Music] my favorite one like i have to get it every time like i don't want it for the points i wanted for the call out the ray is charging so if you can get his heat ray going and i can't see the buttons he just did thank you honestly in this super spinner at this moment point to point he's just trying to get to 100 for third and then up to 400 for a second and he's got some levels to climb he does you know i think my brain is probably where his is and that's like just okay just get it to a hundred three points is better than one yep oh he's he did get an atta ball so he's like anchors um yeah how you ever however you pronounce however you wanna pronounce it and yeah whatever and mothra save so like balls are just leaving the pool as fast as they enter it yeah okay he got eleven fast multiball yeah he's he's racking him up you know he's moving his way towards third here he's checking the wood you know where are the scores if he would stop hitting things he was at like 87. so i knew he was getting real close and then he had all those ball tapes and i was like okay we got to be we got to be getting there so we know he's got a pretty sizable climb to inevitably take down chad and then finally take over ross's score but in the meantime what is your favorite mode what's my favorite mode yeah it depends on the machine and i want to know this from the chat too um depends on the yes if the machine is playing really nice and i can hit the ramps i always choose gygan okay if the machine is not playing nice and i can't hit the ramps i choose titanosaurus interesting yeah okay but my favorite mode is ebby rock super freaking cute i always want to emotionally hit up some eberra because for some reason i think i have the same feeling um yeah gigan i used to exclusively go gigan and i have fallen in love with tyrannosaurus and i don't want to do anything what am i titanic titanosaurus tyrannosaurus tyrannosaurus rex i've done that like three times while i'm playing the mode uh titanosaurus is such a good mode and it's worth so many juicy points yeah i really like titanosaurus i actually started doing that strategy after i watched tom graff at um amazing race oh my tom's doing it i've been really looking at it yeah okay i was doing it so i i looked up i never do this because it's like too much it's information overload but i looked up tilt forums and i i looked at all the modes awful if you don't if you don't get that ramp it is awful at indiana jones if you can hit it had indiana jones is that an instead of lol yeah i was like titans versus my go-to on tough games but i mean it's kind of good on all of them isn't it yeah well okay and i've tried to back to back to do geigen and then do titanosaurus to see like what my points spread was and every time titanosaurus is taking it down yeah i mean like the last shot is worth 20 25 million or something and it's just the captive ball okay we are gonna watch the minitorial for shadow who's playing shadow oh i think we're not leopards the flippers are supposed to do that's right only at the very beginning okay to start off you will notice oh this is the next round if you light all four ring lights solid that starts a mode called vengeance once you're in vengeance mode you continue to hit the ramps from either side and once you complete all four shots you will get a super vengeance jackpot this is worth more if these shots are done in a combo next to light and play modes you just have to hit either the center saucer or the top saucer i still can't hear it if the side saucer is lit for con multiball it will not start modes once in a mode all points scored in a mode will not be scored until your end of all bonus so please do not tilt while you're playing modes next up con multiball you want to hit all four lanes down below you can cycle the lights with your flippers to collect all con letters once you do that you hit the center side saucer to start conn multiball that will light jackpots all over the playfield collect all jackpots to light a roving super jackpot light on the upper playfield which is entered through a vuk right here next up shadow multiball shoot up the center to lock a ball on the magnet shoot the center continually to lock three balls once shadow multiball starts they will kick out from the top saucer to the upper flipper and jackpots are the upper loop next up you can get big points from left orbit to side loop combos this value does not reset over the course of your game so if you can hit these a bunch during your game that's another way to get big points finally the battlefield is entered through a vuk right up here it comes up to the battlefield you hit drop targets in the back stand up targets on the left and right and once hit enough you hit through the back score a big collect and then that will work you towards the final wizard mode that's shadow can i ask a commentator question on air yes does our mic immediately cut when we go to the no it doesn't which is why i was trying to mute it and then i was like i don't know what to press oh god [Laughter] learning guys oh i don't know i still need to understand studio mode so studio mode just changes it so that you have two screens i can change this screen and they can't see me change it this is the one that is like not visible yeah correct and that's what they can do yeah so that's what i like to do i keep trying to tell justin to use studio mode to choose transitions so it's a little bit easier it took me a long time and i was like i'll teach you my oh i'm already up okay bye we're gonna watch shadow it's gonna be great come come to the table shadow i love shadow i know shadow well enough to like usually get first or second but i feel very nervous commentating for it oh yeah i don't even know why it's probably because i just feel like there's more going on that i'd ever utilize and i yeah there's a lot to do in this game but man if i had to just run at two things it would be to get those rings lit by using the ramps and diverters and to go for that multiball which is right up the center that green flashing shot you can get a bunch of points on battlefield when you said rings lit yeah so you've got these these four flashing red rings on the play field the four flashing red lights okay right now one of them is qualified but there's actually diverters in the form of these little uh swords if i hit the ramps left and then right after i do the diverter it'll light those red rings yep yep i didn't know that yeah this is a really unique machine because it has those diverters on them i forget what they call the daggers yeah yeah yeah yeah you have to dodge them in video mode yeah yeah um oh do you really random factoid i'm sure it's i mean who doesn't i'm sure it's real i'm sure it was once used by the shadow himself absolutely or dodged or dodged i don't remember in the movie if he ends up using the ferba power it's terrible it's a terrible film oh i need to watch the shadow and and i need to watch meteor meteor for sure and i need to watch a couple episodes of 24. yep yep you didn't see 24 in the original run oh man i tuned in every tuesday not when i've watched it every i mean in retrospect the show was really awful uh in terms of you know you can't actually go around just randomly killing people to try and save the world or whatever but no i guess you're not that guy keep what kiefer sutherland yeah yeah there's no time if you're a southerland you can do whatever you want i guess that's true um so after you hit the four rings i think well okay so you've got your your four nothing to do with my multiball strategy and so i have no clue right yeah you've got your four rings well you also have your your modes that are started on the you see this right kind of orbiting shot there that's something that's blinking uh yellow i need to turn on the telescope see they are doing my that's my zone right oh all day and that multiball that little trick it does where it disappears into the back is my favorite little pinball animation it's actually the thing that kept me from hating this game early on because i didn't really like much about it but that was so good so clever yeah here it goes watch it's gonna suck it right back love it love it so gonna have to light lock for number three there's a uh a drop target that pops up that's pretty dangerous uh that'll keep you on your second multiball oh plunge one where are oh no where are these sorry ross uh for the multiball yeah yeah that's a fair question i'm gonna have to watch next by the way i tried to hear i tried to ease her off on the tutorial before this but it was like radio silence i couldn't like there was no yep hearing it so if you if everyone watching this stream is like we just talked about this deborah we just talked about this are you not paying attention to your own show yeah that's true we can't always hear the tutorials you should watch 24 and 24. that's gonna take some coffee i thought you know i worked with uh chuck to make them editorials and so i i got to edit them put up the text so you'd think i would know all of them by now i remember nothing it's all gone hey pandiana jones let me know if our headsets are right or wrong were we coming a little too oh the volumes are off thank you so i just turned the videos down up a little bit i don't know that makes sense i could hear you well i was coming into too hot old mate is much louder and peaking fyi old mate is that me is that me am i old mate i feel like i'm old mate i'm definitely older pandiano says that's better okay okay old mate thanks for letting us know co-old mate don't move ball save there is a nice little somewhat generous ball type on this game which is like necessary yeah uh i almost hate to ask who's the designer for this game uh fair question i don't remember if it's that one guy just don't answer yeah but if it's anybody else tell me he who shall not be named in pinball yeah oh Brian Eddy okay i feel better oh eddie's fine yeah okay we can talk about eddie it's there's just a little bit of a flipper gap down there that i do kind of hate so a little wide between the flippers brian eddy uh also designed attack from mars and um medieval madness is that right dear god did he do i have that right everybody is that oh and the fact that i wouldn't know that is just wrong we don't really need any ageism in this thread yeah maybe yeah old me let's stop talking about how old we are what if old maid is sort of like old sport from uh great gatsby where it's just like a nickname yeah you know what i mean yeah yeah mandalorian and stranger things correct he did he did some of the greatest games in pinball and then of course lyman coded them yeah and that is why they are the best oh my gosh r.i.p lymon he really was the very best we were talking about like going back and fixing code earlier yeah that was lyman's jam oh he made things so much he was so good and he would like you'd be like look i gotta do this and i'd be like all right like it was a strong desire in him to improve pinball well look at bat 66 is a great example of a game that that came out where the code was you know not that deep not that interesting and then uh lyman brought his liminess to it okay so we're australian for old people oh okay australian old people old mate oh you know what it means it means we've been friends for a long time oh that's nice like whoever was talking to us they like must be a friend of one of ours from way back oh there it is okay very nice very nice okay and secret passage so there are i love that shot there are two things are happening or maybe even three things is there a scoop and um and a saucer and a loop yeah so you've got the you've got the upper loop upper right flipper you can get like three different things yeah you've got the you've got the upper loop and then there is a saucer just to the left of the upper loop that you can get illustrator i do need to figure out i need to get my telestrator back i miss it i'll ask eric to help because he knows how to do that and he's told me 4 500 times and i never get it right ball save ball save oh all right old mate all right old mate i'm on my way go get them good luck to me and but mostly good luck to all these people people who are not me and i'm just gonna mumble away now i can't wait to see what you do you're watching matt gosselin right now playing the shadow who knows what points lurk in the heart of men matt gosling's gonna find out matt is also a really gifted pinball tech and general electronics tech he fixes a whole lot of stuff that's hard to fix around greater cincinnati also an avid collector of vintage technology so if you have something you've been looking for and can't find in terms of boards or chips or old-timey game stuffs you go find matt gosselin he'll help you out picks up that amazing upper loop for the jackpot 20 million right there jackpot's still lit let's see if you can do it again missed it left but did double that jackpot so this is a 40 million point shot now if he can get it up there working his way towards vengeance mode on the rings and oh that is a bummer a little bit of pinball interaction in the middle that just deadened everything right down the center drain but not bad i mean he got a really great bonus almost 50 million on that bonus for a total of 132. halfway through ball two matt galson's got to be feeling pretty good about it he has three of his four rings lit so if he can get that right ramp he can start vengeance mode kentucky and pinball says i love the choose your own adventure style of bat 66. you know what i completely agree kentuckiana pinball it's got a bunch of little surprises the game is so deep with all of those minor characters and each of them has their own little special power i that was the first modern machine i ever bought bat66 and i have no intention of letting go of it the theme integration is incredible the video once they got all the code worked out the video was fabulous so let's see what ross can do starting punishing the guilty mode if you've seen the movie this uh scene is just absurd uh this is where the shadow first comes out ross with a tilt trying to save it just starting that mode couldn't get anything done i completely agree bat66 is a masterpiece really when it first came out i was bummed out right i didn't i didn't jump to buy it because it was just it was a pretty thin game beautiful art package of course love the theme but uh but then lyman got to it updated all that code built all these amazing minor characters and minor villains added little special treats that each one of them gives you it's a very strategically rich game you can choose a number of different ways to win i mean almost endless the combinations are insane eric fear gets the ball locked eric fear was our very first kentucky northern kentucky pinball open champion back in 2018 he's come back to try and reclaim that title to take it back from bill walburn who got it last year and we have all of our previous winners are playing today eric wortenberger also previous winner they're all gonna battle it out to see who can pick it up this year and of course could be none of them could be somebody brand new got his battlefield open you can get some decent points up on the battlefield of course it's a pretty safe mode given that it's an upper play field mode so if you can get up there by all means do it uh but you got to hit that that vertical up kicker get up there that vuk is just to the left of the green lock shot he's playing the battlefield so in the battlefield as you can see you've got all these drop targets all the way around and you have to get up to 30 hits to defeat khan in your first go at it that's a whole bunch of hits because it's not it's not an easy mode look how fast it's going and you have to be able to move back and forth really really quickly to follow that ball there he goes he beats khan goes through the back 70 million on that battlefield isn't that nice and one more step toward final battle that wizard mode he does lose it on a right outlane drain but finishes up with uh what about 290 million is that we're looking at no 306 my math wasn't quite fast enough jason gwynne going into ball three boy again did we pick the right game to follow this is really really a fun game and really competitive let's see what jason can do we're gonna lock it ball two qualifies a 2x bonus multiplier mongol attack and right down the middle that's the danger with that lock shot is that if you rattle that lock shot it's going straight down the middle you really have to nudge it out of the lock channel if you don't want to drain on that one because it's going to feed straight down the middle darn near every time not what jason was hoping for there on his ball three let's see what matt gosling can do he was off to a really good start earlier but of course after eric stepped up and put up 300 million he's got some ketchup to do i'm going to scoot over to my normal position making some room for our fellow commentators to join deborah tallman coming back well it was good but it wasn't good enough didn't quite pull off the win on this one i got a third okay okay so you'll get a couple of points for it yeah three points for a third place finish 2 000 away from getting five points oh what game are you playing quick draw quick draw it's like two more drop targets or something i don't know it's not good it's not a ton all right well i mean uh maddie ice is uh he's getting some work done here he's got a he's got to catch up to ross but man is he looking good right now at 277 in multiball let's see if he can pick up that big upper flipper jackpot again and if you can double that at the saucer first holy moly you're looking at 40 million point jackpot there bummer of a left out lane drain and uh even more of a bummer oh the center drain yeah that's quick but uh yeah nope second yeah he's not gonna he's not gonna get first man he was eric fear that's one of those moments where you have everything lit that you need you're in a two ball multiball so it's pretty controllable and then just something goes wrong and you're you're about to come back for that win and then just everything falls apart can you make that noise more than once yeah oh it's like i know what that sounds like on the stream it's probably not great sounds good to me oh nice save ross okay here we go what am i what am i getting when i get those four rings uh so you can start vengeance mode with those four rings and what is vengeance vengeance mode is just a big old points mode oh what do you do in vengeance mode is it just switches uh i don't know what light's in vengeance that's a good question i don't remember what light's in vengeance i just remember last time i played this an attorney i got a whole bunch of points inventions oh okay three ball multi is it the rings again is that what you're going for during vengeance oh just rams oh yeah but what happened you still do all the rings okay yeah ramps then ramps ramps to ramps so if you're not doing well at hitting ramps maybe not a great strategy but if you're hitting them solid like go have fun i mean if you started vengeance you must be pretty good at it that's what i'm saying oh oh oh oh double dream why has that been happening a whole lot on this game i don't know yeah it seems like every time somebody's in multi and they get something going what's up they drain at the same time okay spectate you are just so welcome thank you for saying so we really enjoy doing this so after this plunge off we're going to go to godzilla is still happening wow wow not bad for eric fear he gets to just plunge and walk away that's that fake that feels good to do that that feels good solid yeah and in case you're wondering pinball etiquette wise that is totally not a jerk thing to do it's kind of a nice thing to do because you're not driving you know more and more you don't have to do it but when i first saw somebody do it i thought they were being arrogant really yeah because i was like it just seems like it's like i don't even have to it's actually just a nice thing to do when you're diamond lady diamond lady we're going to diamond lady for ball 2. all right it is interesting the psychology of an individual person and how that will color what what the world looks like to you because okay he's gonna come back and change it again he's hilarious when he's curating his his experiences here because he's like godzilla no diamond time related no wait that was a lie no we're just going to go out there for fun i don't know what's happening but i'll be back i also don't know what we're doing anyway i've never ever thought that someone was arrogant i think it's arrogant when people give up and sometimes they're body linked like not not that they give up but sometimes the body language like hey especially in finals i'm like come on you beat out how many other people that would you know kind of like eat socks to be in your shoes um but you're not even gonna try anymore like yeah that feels like a kind of arrogance i guess but i've never really i've never really seen the perspective seriously it's just what was in my head you know yeah it felt like kind of just uh too cash but too cash but now i'm like oh it turns out you played enough pinball to realize that when someone was being casual that was a gift that's right because there's a lot of intensity and anger and emotion it sure is all right i can hear that eric is moving our rig let's see what he's doing here i like how violent my name looks with your font ah yes are we supposed to be hearing the rig well i had turned it up before but it wasn't working oh okay yeah but now it is so hooray making it happen all 46 friends that are joining us right now thank you so much for joining deborah and brie and elizabeth and eric and i and all of these other great players for the northern kentucky open 2022. and chad don't forget about chad and chad i got double chad today actually i don't even know what to do with my double barrel chad double too much chat i say chad hobbs chad markham it's danger chat that's a lot of chats um but we are it does read like the t is in the wrong spot on your name look at that it's actually just the font but i can i can fix that yeah like the weird space it's a weird see it's spelled correctly on here there it still looks like deborah t almond deborah t elman all right 10 second switch let's do it let's watch him go this is the peck cam it's nothing but eric it is man especially with the new shirts he was wearing a red shirt yesterday that kind of obscured the package this one now you can see the but i feel like the sheen on this shirt is really doing it see on eric's uh on eric's on ross's pecks too you can see him right there i don't know how we got into the pec discussion it's all peck all day if you keep playing when you've already won people think that's pouring salt in the wound bill i completely agree i just didn't know that when i first started playing pinball and again for differing perspectives check this out also if you're playing after you already won it might mean that you feel like you suck as a player and you need all the practice that you can get because i've been in those shoes yep like no no no no you don't understand i need this let's get our match-ups right here so we're going to be looking at godzilla all right so we are currently on the accurate screen here yeah there we go oh you guys every once in a while every once in a while dropped into the studio mode smooth transition now we've got some skill shots on the screen yep borg nice to have you nky the n is for northern yes northern kentucky sir which uh borg dog i didn't know he was pork dog it could be a different board it could be a different john i mean it could be a cyborg i but northern kentucky is right for those who don't know northern kentucky is right across the river from cincinnati ohio i kind of think of it as one big metropolis and the river's right over there okay that is cool see now you can hear that let us know how we're doing on sounds uh friends because we can't necessarily hear what you can hear so let us know if we're in balance and all that i know i was going kind of loud before oh not john well that's all right you're better you're you're better we like you too bored dog mothra is joining the battle uh whenever you see blah blah blah joining the battle those are some like seriously good power ups mothra gives you the ball save on the left and angus stereo or whatever his name is gives you an at a ball i feel like angus stereo would be a bit bitter just me cocktail this is eric's house uh yeah we're playing at chuck wood's house if you've ever wondered who's eric and who's chuck where they're the same person nobody knows well he knows and i know but he's got a story behind that name uh i did adjust the audio up so let me know kentucky in the pinball if this is a little better you want more of that okay got it let me know if we're doing a little better here if it's not too loud we're getting a lot of flicky flappy sound which was probably hopefully a good one yeah we're trying to watch it not to go into the red but let us know guys let us know if you can still hear us or you want more us or less that's us always less eyes he wants to just shut up and watch something more mechagodzilla there's been a movement in baseball recently to not commentate just have only the sounds of baseball oh that sounds incredible so i hope that doesn't happen at the ball but no let's do that for like 30 seconds to see what happens all right [Music] eric question question poor dog are you saying you can't oh maybe he's making a comment about baseball i was just making sure that they could hear the game song now yeah and that it wasn't like actual science that'd be a bummer yes the sound of baseball no there's some cracking and there's some shouting from the players maybe some rustling of the grass underfoot it's a pretty quiet it's like golf it's a pretty quiet game don't do this when you're talking about wrestling feet and grass it's not good oh eric great thing did not love that and he did add some colorful language to the stream just now thank you for that we need more of that blinkity boorkety if your name is eric you have to be intense on stream it is kind of intense it's with a k especially eric with a k no this c as well really in fact a c might require you to be the most intense that you can be i'll have to bring in with that eric let him fight it out yes someone get him a ticket here now no he drives cars someone get him a rental car so we can get him here butt fumble that's gonna be the name of my autobiography all right jason let's see what you can do jason hundley up from louisville and he brought his spectacular beard as always it was pretty spectacular he's trying not to talk about it it's just it's fabulous godzilla's multiballs are ready all right see if you can get that upper loop shot off of this magnet that magnet is really unique to this game and uh with the new code i guess it's gotten even more functionality there's you get a lot of cool things after that description jackpot kentuckiana says this is jason humdy's first event outside of louisville well welcome to northern kentucky you should have switched cities and gotten bonus on fall are they talking about jason switching cities i am not at all up on when i should or shouldn't switch cities i'm told i shouldn't do it until i have all the things completed but other people are like no strategically do it early i never switch until i'm through the modes yeah i never do i don't know if i could because i know that you can't you get special features when you switch cities but you also have to re-light everything so there's a lot one of the beguiling facts i think elizabeth mentioned yesterday that like ems are always fun to play and modern games can get a little like i don't know strangely boring but em then just play play play play play and just try to hit those drops down hit that spinner but godzilla is a modern game where there's enough going on i feel like this way i'm not about metallica that i could choose between like 12 different strategies and never get bored with any of those rule sets because i can keep rotating that part is really fun i mean four players four different complete four different completely different approaches that all work that all work that all have a chance to yeah versus like when you were on star wars and like connor go home wow okay jason boyer is putting in his uh it's always fun to drop your knits on there yeah inits idiots i get the best terms when i either creep up on a commentating booth or joined for a little while and knits he knits i know this one's been going around for years but i now get to say playing with my food oh and you used to know that that i never heard that before this would be juggling like well no like when you've got your flippers in the balls and yes yeah or even a single ball that's still playing with you playing with your food if you're just not going for anything i drain a lot that way just casually just the hell am i doing okay let's take a look at our standings real quick that wraps up on godzilla let's see how we're doing we're gonna go to quick draw next but here's our standings in the meantime uh you can see they're still still starting new rounds we're going to quick draw to start that round but let's play that tutorial so that you can learn as we do a little bit a quick draw ray's going to quick draw time to learn some quick draw pew pew pew all right to start the game you want to hit one of the top three lanes a b and c collecting a b and c will increase the saucer values on the top of the play field from one thousand points to up to four thousand points also collecting a b and c will light the top pop bumpers increasing their score from 10 points to 100 points you can also hit the lit spot targets up top to increase your bonus these lights will alternate with pop bumper hits down the lower half of the play field you have two big drop target banks hitting these drop targets will increase bonus score points and if you hit down all the drop targets the black drop targets will reset only and these will be worth 5 000 points for the rest of the ball you can also collect your a b and c's with the bottom rollover lanes when you reach ball five you will have double bonus during ball five if you happen to collect a b and c you will receive triple bonus so very important to have a very good ball five and collect a b and c that's a quick draw so that there that's a really quick draw thanks for that editorial check i'm so glad we know all of those things isn't that helpful yes so much yes quality intel those are really fun to put together i look forward to being able to expand right now we have 17 editorials one for each game that is in this basement but as we work towards [Music] we will end up uh adding more and more minotaurs so looking forward to that let's take a look at our new round in our new match let's refresh and we're gonna look at quick draw it's a good [Music] and this is a special one i mean quickdraw is really a fun game where you can like for instance unlike jumper queen if you miss that top plunk you can still pick it up down in the inlanes it's not an all-plunge game some of the old m's are like that this is devil's advocate here but are you telling me that you're a big fan of odds and evenings during the tournament not a fan i mean i've gotten good scores on it out of tournament and 169 in tournament but then i got two twelves in a row and that's about as bad as you can do i haven't seen anyone get wrestling so i thought i liked it until i didn't yeah that's fair over the last two days we'll see i'm sure i'm sure you're right for some reason we lost our rigs i just want to say we're missing great things and we don't have a thousand times going i mean we can fill it in ping ping speaking of names if you've never heard the sounds for a game he did that once for genie oh my god oh genie is great and then he did then he did the bonus countdown he didn't he didn't miss one blue he got it all he went all the way he went all the way it was over the top that's what's kind of what you'd like to get from eric it was beautiful this is uh oh you guys can hear it okay i'm glad you guys are here let us know yeah let us know that you can hear us it otherwise yeah let us know if it's good y'all i don't know why sometimes we can hear it sometimes again it seems to depend on the scene did you notice i'm trying to be local y'all pinball y'all quick draw y'all withdrawal florence y'all we're in independence right now we are in independence kentucky independence y'all for those who are not from the area this uh the water tower behind us is sort of iconic to northern kentucky because in florence there's a big water tower it was supposed to say florence mall but they didn't get the right to save florence and so they painted over maul and just put a y apostrophe so now it just says florency all that has right okay since we couldn't actually hear the tutorial remind me how many points per drop uh it is 500 and add bonus when lit it is 5 thousand for the two center ones if you get all the drops down those two center those black drops back up and light for five thousand but this game is i mean i stay down at the top during the whole game i it is helpful to go up and get those uh those lit uh saucers up top but i love playing the drop shots because it is adding bonus every time that happens but sometimes that i thought i would be badass most of the it almost worked i told you i was like two thousand away from one drop away yeah uh that's cool which i guess in this case would have been maybe it was 500 per dollar oh although i'm not including the bonus yeah you can also get uh add bonus minute up on the spot targets up top so it's a perfectly good strategy to stay up top i just like playing see eric just yeah the person playing his name justin i'm sorry i want i've got eyes on shadow and eric just stopped playing uh anyway that person went up top and didn't go over poor justin oh it's a quick draw come on brain catch up so good luck and you are of course watching a two-player game here which might seem a little bit odd because you see the same two players instead of four but they're listed but on a two player em like this that's how it works these two players play they take a picture of their score [Music] um and then they're the other two players frank and matt will play well let's see what justin ryan can pull off here this is a five ball game so it's not like it all has to get decided in this moment but he does have as well as about a 12 000 thank you so much the background noise is louder than me so i'll turn that down because i can't hear it right now i'm gonna actually see if i can't find a way to hear it thank you for keeping me posted on the audio levels that's super helpful because i can't hear ahead with that one by 5 000 points and now it's up to justin to catch up but uh we're we're only on ball four here so we do have one more ball to play after justin flynn misses there on the plunge but you can always complete these these lanes or the uh the abc targets with the in-lanes so if you'd be able to pull that off he did pick up a bonus ad on that upper right spot target but man see this is again this is why i don't play the top on this game if i can help but the top is not safe a lot of games you're used to hey if i stay at the top of the play field you know i'm doing the safe thing it's not safe here because those bumpers are brutal and even kicking out of the saucers can dream it'll kick right into the bottom of that uh center bumper and then just straight out we'll see what eric wants to do with it it looks like he wants to stay up top looks like not playing those those drops as much let's see let's see what he wants open his flame drop okay cool i think he gave up on the whole top thing um again straight down the middle it's tempting to think with ems because they play slower because they tend to have fewer uh total features you know that they're simpler to play or easier to play they may be more simple in terms of the rules and features but they are not necessarily easier oh that's going to be a tilt that was justin ryan's last chance uh he did not get it he tilted on the way out which was okay he was trying to get a save that was going out if he didn't so it makes sense but we're looking at 54 790 and 32 0 30. i'm just going to drop that here in the chat so that we can remember because it's about to become really relevant for frank and matt to come and beat it john del zappo great to see you let me know if um if the audio is working out a little better now it seems to depend on seems to depend a little bit on what's on whether or not so the scores from our first two players are in the chat if you're wondering what they are and now it's frank and matt's job to come catch up matt gosling's gonna take his first ball here on quick draw try and catch up to right now eric at 54-790 that's the big number to beat justin is at 32 00 30. and you're watching matt gosling get himself ready here to come up and try and put some points up on the board neither of those scores is a blockbuster so it's quite possible to catch up on these if you've just joined us you're watching the northern kentucky open 2022 taking place right here in independence kentucky this is the fourth i believe northern kentucky open start in 2018 took a year off uh for covid we do have our past champions here playing uh eric wortenberger or chuck work bill wahlberg and eric fear and we have another 40 competitors that want to take their spots today we will be uh doing eight total rounds of qualifying and then of course semi-finals and finals we'll divide into an a division and a b division splitting right down the middle for those and then we'll follow both divisions and of course bring you the a division finals so right now we're jumping around between leaders and people who are a little bit further down at points because we want to show you everybody we want to see a whole bunch of different games as we get closer to the finals for both a and b division we'll center a little bit more in on the people who are contending for the championships for a b division we will take a break after qualifying and uh and i'll keep you posted on timing for that and then we'll come back for our quarters semis and finals so matt and frank are both definitely in contention not only with each other but with eric and justin this is ball three of five on quick draw i haven't seen a lot of oh right you can see that little rattle off the top of that post was enough to send him to the outlane if you can nudge out of that i mean again everybody plays a little differently but if you can nudge out of that gamble even though it doesn't look like it's going to go to the left out lane why risk it if you can nudge that back onto the flippers back towards the middle and not have to have that outlaying gamble it's a pretty good idea even though it looks like a 50 50 gamble out there it's not because everything you can see the angle of the the rubbers that are just over those outlands it's built to drain you from that angle in both directions so if you if you can avoid that gamble you want to all three pops lit and then straight out those pops are worth a hundred points a piece when lit you can light them with the top uh rollovers the abc lanes or you can light those down bottom and they can be quite valuable if you spend some time in the pops i don't want to spend time in the props because they're dangerous nice job so frank just did exactly what we were talking about right you could see i'll play a quick replay and the pops you can see when it hit that side he nudges right back frank just picks up a right drop target he's only got two i think the three drop targets left to hit oh takes a swing at that center one unfortunately misses to a really fast right outlane dream there are no safe shots even firing back up to the top puts you in pot bumper territory so matt gawson's trailing at 13 here in ball four right now eric's sitting pretty at 54 790 and unless uh frank or matt really can up their average points per ball in ball five he's gonna have a hard time catching up but absolutely anybody's team at this point oh thank you for that heads up game ago working out all the kinks appreciate that let me see if i can address that real quick [Music] i'll tell you what on break we'll work out a couple of the kinks or break even break between machines because i certainly don't want audio over audio all right that's game over so nobody caught up to justin or eric so uh wow eric takes number one as you said halfway to sweeping qualifying we're gonna look at our standings here in a second justin takes number two by a hair to pick up five more points then you have uh frank oh sorry you have matt gosling coming in third and he'll pick up three points and uh frank young is going to come in fourth for one point which uh let's take a look at our standings we're about to report on eric fear and by the way that 21 is about to become a 28th which means first place first place first place first place in the first four rounds you do a lot worse than that you can see all these little dots just mean that these are games in progress the color the dot indicates who they're playing and um eric is uh eric's having a heck of a day but his competitors there justin and matt not too far behind frank's right there too and once these get reported after this round we'll take another look at the standings so we'll move these in just a second uh we'll see what else we can look at but would love to hear from you guys if there is a game that you've been dying to see and i can throw it out there to eric eric uh ultimately the the arbiter of these decisions but uh would love to know if there's something you're dying to see actually excited to talk to eric fear because holy moly eric hold on del zappo i appreciate your enthusiasm but there's no chance that's happening what does del zappo halfway to sleep halfway to sweeping yeah we're four rounds in four first places boom a little bit of luck when i needed it man and honestly like uh we were talking before you you won the 2018 yeah the very first the inaugural northern kentucky open that was fine and now you're halfway to sweeping yeah but here's the thing i was telling five of us came over from indy and i told him like in this format just don't finish last and they're like well in 2019 i came and i still i qualified for the a bracket i went five second places two thirds and then took a single win in the last round it's like that that's enough to qualify just don't worry about it and you know i'll take four first yeah especially with this group yeah i was just trying to make these bracket today well i i think you're well on your way to the a at this point you'd have to really do some things wrong but but i mean qualifying is great into the a but it also decides position yeah in the a and who you're playing right so yeah once you get into a if you're at the top of the pile of points wise you're playing the people who are at the bottom of the pile points wise first who are still killers who are still killed yeah don't get me wrong yeah let's which by the way good side track um like i've rewatched like some of your older stuff and like i think the last years i definitely watched all that live sat at my house watching it live yeah you're a killer pinball announcer like you're really you're really really good thank you that's really fun like you really you you're you know the game but then you know the intricate games but then you're good at like switching and being like well this is what he's going to go for here and this is this guy's style and this is and yeah i love that thing when we were running our stream we we tried to mimic it and we failed we sucked compared to you that's really kind thank you i mean this is i've been telling folks on the stream all day this is my favorite thing to do nice in fact when eric said yesterday justin i want you to play in the tournament i was disappointed because i was like can't i just sit behind this table how are you doing uh doing good yesterday i had a really good night i ended up six out of 30. and for me that's a pretty good finish we had some really killer players many of whom are playing today all of them are playing today um today's lineup though added another 10 plus players like yourself who are just killers and that's why i love watching this is i don't i haven't seen a bad game of pinball yet i've seen individual balls i haven't seen bad pinball today fair which is pretty awesome fair makes sense i keep wondering what people want to see i see we got a vote from del zappo bad girls that does yeah that does sound fun yeah that girl is one of those weird 80s god leaps that eric just loves oh yeah all right i don't blame him yeah there was one of those it was one of the original machines that they had at the pinball but they never spent any time on it and it was always just beat up man this is a this is a good game yep i helped them move it to one of their friends houses because they ran out of storage room and then i saw at the top of the list i wish i could have practiced so okay can we do bad girls we had a request from biz nice all right man we're gonna tell zappos see look streaming friends when you speak we listen okay hey eric will you check the mic on the rig okay he's walking away you gotta love the the terrible terrible artwork on that too oh my god i mean it's just indicative of god it makes it fantastic [Music] eric are you finished are you finished with your round because you you sit here i'm gonna go uh we're going to bad girls i'm a little okay it'd be just a few minutes a little upset i was uh i was planning on just being like elbows deep in the fear by now what happened i'm drinking water because i'm actually in contention well you know a lot of people have their like perfect like it's like two and a half beers it's like they're perfect playing do you have like a target no i have one tournament one tournament is completely sober i've won tournaments where i had to be driven home yeah um and i ran the tournaments that i had the first year whether the winner won the kentucky like pin brawl yeah like i just was drinking with the guys that day and i i qualified like second and then just dead last in the first round of the finals and so the next year i had one beer the whole day and then afterwards like you know well that's the one i want oh that's the first pen broth or uh open the first opening yeah man so you didn't have a beer the whole i had one one beer i had a rhine guys truth so that became my like favorite like pinball beer oh that is a good one all right let's kill it can you get that in the apple yeah we can't go we can now yeah they came over this is a little commercial we're sponsored by ryan guy's truth our our stream was actually sponsored by a daredevil i guess they still sponsor us but we haven't streamed in six months it's time man we'll get back back on that horse out there yeah i needed to take some time off so what do you do now i mean you've got a couple minutes to chill you're playing great pinball do you have a ritual do you have something that you return to for me like i'm gonna just like literally fill up my water yeah and just get away try to talk to somebody about something other than pinball okay because in the back of my mind all i'm doing is processing pinball and like focusing and like what i just did so i need to not overwhelm myself for sure um that i mean honestly like for for sure we you know five of us came from indy yeah we go touch base with them see how they're doing nice you know like greg started off with two back-to-back losses and then just was trying to get in his ear like a coach and he went and won the next round like boom that's what you do it's amazing and it's amazing how mental it is that way right like if i if i start out with two back-to-back losses can i get down on myself i'm done for the night if i start with two back-to-back losses i get a little pep talk all of a sudden i can turn it around yeah and i'm the same way with wins if i start winning i actually get weirded out and i start losing so last night was a great example i got four wins in a row or whatever and then all of a sudden i just started to fumble because i was like there's no way i'm going to keep doing this yeah and i was right yeah before that open started the first open um john finnegan said something to me about like how we both qualified high and the brawl and it just just bombed out and he's like it's not being fun for me like what do you mean because i just was worried about the points it was no longer fun yeah so i i try to at least have fun that's it try to adjust it have fun and then have confidence that like yeah i had a bad ball yeah basketball's not gonna be bad i remember peyton manning and then damn it were you getting the lucky bounces yeah yeah i did that on purpose yeah yeah that was me i remember peyton manning saying about football obviously but he said you know my greatest skill is having a short memory he said as soon as something goes wrong i forget it like it never happened we can review the footage after the game but for right now it never happened we're moving on absolutely isn't that the thing that joe montana like what why everyone loved playing with him every time he was in the huddle that was the play that's like that he had the confidence that this was the play we're going to go and loss of five yards doesn't matter right this is the play now right this is the play we're going to the end zone that's interesting bill everybody you know got out yeah i think this is one of the reasons i love pinball so i have a very short attention span and out in the world operating it can be it can be tricky because i want to focus on everything in pinball you can only be in the moment right because whatever just happened doesn't matter and you don't know what's about to happen so you just have to stay in that constant refresh refresh this is why you're the best announcer that's why you're the best announcer on that note if i start talking about it too much i'll forget it hopefully in the next four rounds i'm still relevant enough that you'll bring me back into the seat and it's not it's not like how did you win four in a row and then lose that's exactly how you did yeah yeah so piece this apart your total destruction when did the wheels fall off the wagon exactly yeah yeah and what are you gonna do to recover you're just gonna quit no you are very welcome here anytime i'll be back i'll be back it's a pleasure yeah we'll keep following you so for for those watching at home eric is right now our points leader and he's gonna go back out there and have some great pinball second half of qualifying okay if not i have a cooler full beard all right i'll come meet you we're gonna move machines here in just a minute we are gonna go to bad girls um i do wanna show you our banks by the way we have so many great machines here let's take a look at all of the games that we have to choose from and the reason why banks are important is because uh you know worldwide is because at some point right when you get into uh semi-finals quarter-final finals you're gonna have players picking banks the nice thing is you can pick a bank with something you love it so for instance i know uh laser rose carlos he likes to he likes to play games he's incredible hours plural long game of thrones but he's gonna pay attention he's gonna get two other games with him in this case big game and quick draw but he may not like it okay thank you thank you bill's up so that's why we have banks but look at all these amazing games next round is up and uh yeah so we're gonna do a quick tutorial on uh on bad girls by request and uh then we're gonna we're gonna watch it this is just uh just playing around with game audio is way too hot man it's just all over the place isn't it all right tell me if this is a little better let's take a look at our tutorial for bad girls let's keep it weird with some bad girls pinball off the bat when you plunge you'll go up to the top lanes or you can short plunge and have it drop short of the top lanes come back down to the upper flipper and have an opportunity to shoot straight into the lock for multiball right off the plunge when you hit drop targets down that will increase your end of ball bonus and collect pool balls once you collect all the drop targets the eight ball target will light once you hit that down you will collect a rack you can collect up to three racks worth fifty thousand a piece towards your end of all bonus you can multiply your end ball bonus by hitting the vera target over here to the right you can get up to 10x bonus for a max end of ball collect of 1.5 million also if you hit the vera target enough you will light special that's worth 500k at the vera target you can hit the right orbit for increasing awards up to 500 000 points also while you're increasing those awards these top lanes will light blue for a hundred thousand points on the left and 1 and 250 000 points on the right you can collect pool letters which are at the top lanes up here and the inlanes each time you collect pool you will increase the value of the 8 ball target up to 500 000 points to start multiball hit the 8 ball target and then shoot behind that into the saucer once you're in multiball the spinners will light for 20 000 points outside of that the rest of the game is available to you you can collect racks you can advance your bonus multipliers and advance the right orbit values also after you collect a rack the spot targets behind the drop targets will light the re-rack mode these inserts in front of the targets will start flashing each time you hit a target it will increase the value i've seen values over 3 million points for this re-rack mode very valuable go after this mode safely in multiball finally the jackpot mode every 40 switches you hit in this game will light the pop uppers they will start flashing once you hit one pop bumper you have to hit eight more pop bumpers before you hit any other major switch on the playfield or else they will turn off and you will lose the jackpot the jackpot is progressive this grows very slowly and is not worth going for finally for real this time on your final ball if you have a piddly amount of points usually less than 200 000 points if you drain straight down the middle here you will receive a scratch award for 500 000 points that's bad girls as eric says that's bad girls you'll have to let me know how we're doing on rig sounds you're uh looking right here at the bad girls playfield and eric called out a couple of weird oddities with this game again the reason i love god leaps is because they're bizarre i mean they're fun to play but god leaves of this era are bizarre and two of the weird rules that you heard about up there one of them is that when you're when your pops are lit and flashing that uh you can oh that's not what my gun wanted from that one uh you can go for those but the way it works is you you have to hit it like eight times without hitting another major switch it's a weird rule it's not worth it the other thing that's super weird is this scratch bonus if you go into your last ball and your points and you drain down only down the center you drain i think it's under 250k you get a 500 000 point consolation prize well that's a lot of points in this game so you have to in that case hope that everybody else you know they're they're hoping they have more than 750 [Music] but i love weird pinball [Music] hopefully so does joe bailey who's now playing backwards if you knock down all those drops on the left you can get that re-rack i assume it looks like that's what he's going for you also have this very tempting very target on the right and those very targets are weird i wonder if anybody's ever won a tourney on a scratch i've seen tournament games one i've never seen a finals one on a scratch but wouldn't that be something i think if that happened i'd be calling the sharp brothers and saying something's wrong what do we got to change i'd be so mad even though it's totally part of the game oh look at that could not make good on that center post actually managed to nudge it off the center post it might have been better to just let it sit elizabeth is a fabulous player and a great commentator and i'm going to try my best to get her to come sit and join us here at the streaming rig because she is really good a strategic scratch man wouldn't that be frustrating if you got that 500 000 point scratch because somebody just plunged and let it drain down the center yeah but i take it i mean it's part of the game i'd be awful i'd be awful worked up but that's the i mean they're playing it right i wonder if eric had an issue issue with someone being like why is that my one because there's a street a teacher's trash and then eric put that sign up because i was a bit surprised that it was that um black and white yeah it really made it clear eric didn't want anybody saying i you know i got ripped off almost got that very targeted dig at the very top no i don't think i don't think elizabeth got it uh but that very target is really great for multiplier it's just also kind of dangerous i happened to win last night because of that very target i got it up to to 5x and it really paid off sometimes yep a couple nice choice accidental very smacks are in my opinion safer than doing it intentionally and i just feel like i hurt myself you can backhand that target that's that's your best bet i think you can also backhand that eight ball yeah which you probably have already said uh i haven't no you're exactly right you can totally back in but you could just backhand your way to very target and multiball success all day on this game i'm gonna write a self-help book called backhand your way to success i like that backhand your way so it's actually a fantastic title so you can see elizabeth has locked in the 8-ball spot that's a very low and it comes out real fast and we saw how she held the left flipper up because you have to because you have to but that ski pass is great because you can pass it get it right through that lit spinner on the left and it'll feed straight back to another ski pass and that was a nice sort of like baby drop meaning small drop not dropping babies we do not condone that that's right like baby drop catch baby drop catch oh oh and this does have a center post but you'll notice there's no rubber on that center post and so the odds of getting your ball back on that pretty low yeah uh but if it's straight down the middle and you just let it go sometimes you can have happiness uh so what she did when she hit it from the right flipper to the eight ball that's exactly exactly why i started doing exclusively backhand successing to the eight ball because otherwise the feedback from it was draining me yep middle train and you guys can hear the game audio maybe you can tell us is elizabeth showing valve with some strategy it looks like it looks like that could be what's happening yep and it's something by the way totally legal in pinball to do that when you're not playing okay look at how they're just like like is that one like over the top of her like i know i'm not doing it okay i'm probably up on godzilla i love supportive pinball like that it gets so cool it's fantastic uh all right go get em yeah those spinners are really valuable during multiball uh very much worth going for for me it's you start multiball you lock put one right back up in that eight ball channel and take the other one and rip the spinner and then as soon as that kicks out of that eight ball channel you've got that ski pass over to the right go right back up through that lit left spinner mike dawn uh his story is incredible mike was playing pinball as a as a young young fella in his 20s um ended up winning a a championship at some point took home a pinball machine as a young fella fell in love with it and then just got out of the game of competitive pinball for a long time no particular reason just think i like this in a way and then the way i met him was that he randomly showed up at the cincinnati pinball championship um and one after all of these years he saw something in the newspaper about the cincinnati pinball championship that it was happening shows up nobody knows who he is and just dominates and walks home with a cincinnati pinball championship in his first time playing in what may have been a decade or more and and uh he also makes incredible brownies modular vibe is exactly right his brownies are really really good oh he's not gonna like that that was a tilt sorry mike earned that one that was absolutely a legit tilt mike is a really aggressive player you'll see he's very physical oftentimes he will nudge right and then left real fast so he does end up with more tilts than your average bear but he also makes great use of his nudges when he needs them you won't let you won't let mike won't let a ball just drain you know he's going to fight for all of them you'll also see he's kind of fun to watch even when he gets frustrated because he will physically jump away from a machine and i do that too so i feel you mike i feel you are they magic brownies no comment i have no comment on the nature of magic or otherwise but they are very good runners completing the fit [Music] those geese get back up big fan of her as a player as a commentator and as a person she's just great if you were able to tune in to pins and natty last year you saw her commentate she by the way that wasn't planned she just walked up and said can i do this and then just rule absolutely she was great last night too yeah exactly i'll tell you what what a pleasure it was for me to just watch the stream last night and watch as she and brie and deborah did such a killer job commentating a couple of notable folks missing today um i was wondering if we'd see i just got a call from our friend roy i was hoping to see him here rory richie jesse baker just really fantastic players from the area but not everybody can make it every time and uh i get it but missing you guys we just have so many fantastic players in ohio kentucky and indiana i wish everybody could come to all of them you know you end up missing folks i don't know why del zappo's not down here just make the drive man love having you at cincinnati i love having you on the stream so elizabeth sitting pretty right now at uh 1.5 look at that that big old bonus countdown he's not taking the bait on trying to get the hurry up too too fast but resets it he's back up to a million drains fast look how fast that re-rack bonus counts down no ball save there so straight out the left out lane on bad girls all you gotta do is put those on they're gonna welcome to the to the stream trent augustine trent how are you playing today uh so far pretty well i just squeaked out one on diamond lady oh that feels good yeah had a good game on elvis last time yep talk about another weird got lead huh diamond lady yeah john you were registered but kova took you out i'm so sorry man we are missing here but we will welcome you to come back and blow up cincinnati again i don't know maybe trent doesn't want you though no i'm not going to speak for him bring it all on can't be the best unless the best are there oh i like that i like that [Music] oh same for you i'm sorry kentucky in a pinball well we'll look forward to next time but unfortunately cove has been getting a lot of folks you know it's not as bad as the original one but it did take a lot of people out for a few days at a time mike dawn stepping up to oh boy he had that eight ball shot just perfectly and unfortunately if you hit it perfectly off the right flipper it's coming back down the center john is in for cincinnati great to have you the more amazing competitors the better so what do you make of this game trent how do you like playing bad girls oh it's okay you know it's a typical cat leave that era [Music] this one has been it's been playing really really well but that uh those center drains have just been killer yeah as we said if you can backhand that eight ball shot you should it's probably a little simpler a little more fun than some of the ones they came out with in this age yep it was just their their rule sets are so odd we were talking about that at the beginning of this game their rule sets are so odd like this whole bumper bonus thing where you can only hit yeah for nine switches or whatever that's kind of like the diamond lady jackpot where you only hit no spades and all the diamonds down exactly which of course that doubles your score too yeah it's neat right i like shots that actually you know rule sets that actually kind of punish you for hitting the wrong shots i think that's really cool that started for me with uh roadshow with volley no violet yeah so volley you hit two at once well yeah there's that uh but there's also you know those those drops are worth nothing until you qualify oh yeah that goes up to five thousand yeah if you've already knocked them down they're worthless yeah cincinnati's in december is it the third through the fifth this year it's that first weekend in december friday saturday sunday yep and it is a must make it kind of event i mean we'll have you know uh i forget how many pins we had last year 150 yeah well over 100 yeah and we had a huge tournament bank yeah expanded the tournament area and uh unfortunately with you know with uh pinberg out of the mix um you know regional tournaments like that are are with that many machines and that many banks are hard to find so fantastic tournament there obviously you have chicago expo yeah vfw is a great one no there's no tournament there but it's probably the best place to play pinball in the united states yep yep what are the other sort of can't miss tournaments for you uh sanctum is very cool the 24 hours yeah expo obviously yeah you got to make expo the 24-hour sanction tournament is bananas it's on my pinball bucket list yeah i just don't have the guts for it yet so looks like a win for elizabeth there but it was it was hard fought i mean look one point one point one player three joe came close yep that was real close but she's gonna walk away with seven points on that one nice yep and uh five for joe three for dalva and one for mike dawn mike dawn is one of those players that will invest hour after hour after hour in a single machine i love watching him play he'll go down to comics to games pick one machine and play it all day john's been playing a long time we played him way back in the 90s he was in our league oh really yeah because he took a period off from competitive yeah he was gone for 15 years or so and then shows up at the cincy pinball championship and just dominated yeah which was awesome yeah that'll put elizabeth up high for sixth amazing yeah let's take a look at those standings i've got them right here uh to answer your question kentuckiana pinball uh trent said the vfw is the best place to play pinball in the united states possibly yeah yeah possibly the world okay nice elizabeth great work that was awesome yeah i think Joshua Clay's got over three 400 games there and they're all got a little pretty much in tip-top shape and and some real classics i mean these are not oh yeah new you know sterns or whatever yeah a lot of a lot of neat old stuff yep it's got a few games that are non-pinball mechanical games that are very cool yep yep well speaking of which i mean there happens to be a little event up kind of near columbus sneaking up on us didn't know if you're interested in sharing a little bit about uh which one yeah one of the big old barn oh yeah so that's my place it's august 19th and 20th we're doing a women's golf tournament on friday we're doing an open golf tournament on friday and then we're doing a uh 18 strike progressive on saturday all day and then you know all day friday and saturday it's open all the games will be on you don't have to play in the tournament you just come play around you want to come and camp out you can camp out um where there's hotels nearby yeah i mean it's a really unique event that way that it's so open people are allowed to kind of come and go as they want they don't have to play the attorney but the machines are still available to play yep we have a food truck we have a beer truck uh john borg is coming down dwight sullivan and his son are coming down amazing yeah it'll be a good time you can can if i brought a translate you think so yeah bring your stuff bring your stuff they'll sign awesome yeah we'll try to get some flyers there for their stuff too that people who don't have anything and get signed and stick with them it's great because it's about as casual of a setting as you can get oh yeah i mean you literally have people camping in tents outside playing guitar i mean it's just very outback and uh and it gets a little warm in there but at night it cools off it's not too bad it all depends on the on the day yeah well i hope folks make it out for that too i mean it's a short drive from really anywhere that all all of these players yeah from you know detroit pittsburgh uh indy fort wayne louisville we're all within three hours is it i'm wondering because i've never put on a an event of that size is it something that you have to really gear yourself up for you spend months preparing for is it something that because you have all the machines it's mostly cleaning and then playtesting everything for months ahead of time yeah that's that's the biggest thing i love it when when people put out a hey could you come play test for us yeah i love that because yeah i don't want to play pinball for sure eric will put it out like it's a favor to him and then yeah no absolutely come break my game i'll come break your stuff that sounds great yeah it does sound awesome really looking forward to it um i'm i'm hoping i can make it this year now that i've seen the all the amazing footage yeah pictures and stuff i'm hoping i can make it up there this year and you also as many people know happen to run this little place yeah can you talk about tilt yeah sure you know we tilt basically mainly as a certain distributor distribute new games form but we also have a route that we run and and just do a little bit everything you know if you're local we do repairs you know shop games out denver right now is totally restoring uh eight ball deluxe did the play field new play field uh new stencils on the outside of the cabinet knew everything yep i mean that's one of those games that is just perennially everybody's looking for all the time yeah it's a good game we can get all the parts for it so yep somebody joked yesterday that bad girls is eight ball deluxe flipped and with multiple yeah kind of yeah uh i mean it's just it's one of those things where i if that one for me space shuttle's one meteor is one that's just always going to be in demand yeah because they're just great games they have harlot harley-davidson or harlem globetrotters globetrotters for sure yeah there's a restored globetrotters up at uh pinball garage that is just perfect condition and it's my greatest joy to go up there and play it excellent yep we're gonna move over to something i don't know eric told me we're gonna move to something eventually do you remember what he said it was gonna be i don't know i didn't hear him something we're gonna watch some pinball it's okay um just a reminder by the way oh the question was do you have to sign up yeah you can just show up at your own in my place yeah just come uh golf you know uh on friday because it you pretty much an open time to to play you know just come anytime i think it's before like seven o'clock or eight o'clock and you know play your nine holes and we'll get some qualifiers and then we'll do the finals awesome uh the women's is probably gonna be about the same and then i think 10 a.m is when the the tournament on saturday so just get there before 10 a.m to sign up and that's pin golf that's on friday uh it's ping ping off's on friday play real golf saturday is uh uh 18 strike progressive yep which if you haven't played progressive uh first place it gets zero points second place gets one point third place gets two and fourth place gets three when you get to 18 you're out yep yep we did that last night with a nine strike progressive that took like four hours so yours must be an eight hour process yeah it's at least that long because yeah um we start first time we did it we did 24 strikes and we ended up about two in the morning so the second time we did 21 strikes and it ended up right around midnight and so 18 works out pretty well yeah yeah and and you want to you want to wrap the night and still have time to hang out yeah well and keep in mind the only people that are there until 11 o'clock are like the final four that's true you know so the other 130 people are already done drinking and doing something else you know the funny thing is like last night for instance you know we played pinball all night yeah we wrapped up and then we had free time and the first thing i want to do is play pinball yeah like as soon as we get done playing pinball we just like let's play more pinball yup the trick is not to stay up until four in the morning and you know actually be able to play again today yeah right that's the hard part yeah sunday when you go over it's pretty uh it's pretty loose pretty pretty laid back yeah everyone's kind of like laying around i bet i mean for me it's got to be an overnight thing like i couldn't go up play and then go home i got a picture oh yeah get that hotel room stay around till sunday and just hang out uh let's take a look by the way at uh because we we should be wrapping up i think our last game eric said and then taking a break so let's just real quick check in again on those standings right there still a couple games in play oh we got several games in play but uh i got three going so eric and trent oh my gosh neck and neck right there at 31 points after five rounds i think we're taking a break after this round two yep yep does that mean each of you had one third place i have had one third place okay so three first and a third yeah yeah yep yep i was trying to do the math in my head there um and then you've got justin bob and matt all barking at your heels elizabeth and chad right behind them so i mean again seven points for a first place win means the difference between chad and trent or chad and eric is one win yeah right it's gonna be pretty close but right now we're just go aiming for the top 16 at this point so yep oh sean davis thank you kentucky and a pinball man we really miss you too i would love to have had you here we're super bummed you couldn't come you and shannon but uh we are really happy that you could join us on the stream too there's uh money going on maddie on matty ice yeah matt gosling he's he's another sleeper he's one who you don't you don't want to turn your back on for too long because he'll quietly sneak up in points on you and he is right now at 27. so right behind our leaders after five rounds this is five of eight rounds that we're going to do and uh then we're going to take a little break get into our quarter finals we'll divide into a division and b division we'll get into our quarter finals then our semis and then uh we're going to follow our a division uh leaders and our b division leaders into the finals certainly we always follow the a division final game but we're going to try and switch between a and b because they're both really fun to watch and uh you know with any good luck you'll be there oh yeah i hope so that's always the goal you were really close last year second or third last i don't remember okay i just remember after getting done with the whole long day of pinball we still hung out until three in the morning or whatever yeah that's how this works all right so i'm gonna check in with eric you guys stay tuned we're gonna be back in just a couple minutes i'm gonna check in with eric and we're gonna find out what's up next uh here at the nky open hang tight we'll be right back well there you go he just told me we're coming back at 3 25. so we're gonna watch that mini tutorial leopard who's all right let's learn some shadow pinball okay to start off you will notice there are extra buttons on the side of the cabinet by the flipper buttons these control the ramp diverters on the left and right ramp which will divert the ball to either side of the ramp that you choose each time you hit one side of the ramp a ring light will light solid if you light all four ring lights solid that starts a mode called vengeance once you're in vengeance mode you continue to hit the ramps from either side and once you complete all four shots you will get a super vengeance jackpot this is worth more if these shots are done in a combo next to light and play modes you just have to hit either the center saucer or the top saucer if the side saucer is lit for khan multiball it will not start modes once in a mode all points scored in a mode will not be scored until your end of all bonus so please do not tilt while you're playing modes next up con multiball you want to hit all four lanes down below you can cycle the lights with your flippers to collect all con letters once you do that you hit the center side saucer to start conn multiball that will light jackpots all over the playfield collect all jackpots to light a roving super jackpot light on the upper playfield which is entered through a vuk right here next up shadow multiball shoot up the center to lock a ball on the magnet shoot the center continually to lock three balls once shadow multiball starts they will kick out from the top saucer to the upper flipper and jackpots are the upper loop next up you can get big points from left orbit to side loop combos this value does not reset over the course of your game so if you can hit these a bunch during your game that's another way to get big points finally the battlefield is entered through a vuk right up here it comes up to the battlefield you hit drop targets in the back stand up targets on the left and right and once hit enough you hit through the back score a big collect and then that will work you towards the final wizard mode that's shadow thank you to eric chuck work for those miniatorials so we're about to watch shadow we are now going into round six so i'm gonna switch over to our round six and i'm looking at elizabeth wondering when she's gonna sit down with me to talk to our fine streamies we'll see if i was compelling enough i was so very compelling so very compelling let me switch over to our shadow lineup here so uh for those of you who may be just rejoining us welcome back for those destroying for the first time this is the northern kentucky open 2022. i'm justin i'm elizabeth she's awesome yeah i'm playing on jungle queen yeah buddy yeah i tilted my first ball so i think it's good juju yeah you know that that's a good start i mean it leaves a lot of room for growth that's the nice part that's right yeah so this isn't what are we watching here yeah so we're going to watch shadow and uh let me get it up on there there we go oh you know the battle is so important on this game yeah the outlanes there's no rubbers the the stops are so high the uh i think the battle is where to go yeah i mean eric makes this one really really hard um he makes all his games hard but uh i find shadow particularly challenging because those outlanes are hungry very yep exactly but you're watching bob skinner take a run at it uh not a terrible start from justin ryan at 24 million but uh that's like that's essentially one jackpot right so it's uh it's a nice start when you didn't go into multiball but multiball is pretty easy to qualify in this game so you've got your multiball right here the center area you shoot it once you get your first ball you shoot it twice you get your second now the second time that you do multiball uh you actually have to knock down a pretty dangerous little drop target to get in there but the first time through i mean my guess is every player is going to try and get the multiball pretty fast the other thing you can do is you can see these four red rings right here those are ramp shots and then you control them with these diverters that look like daggers the firma and uh if you can get those lit start your vengeance mode and then start multiball my goodness you have all kinds of options yeah though i've been finding the right ramp really difficult to shoot so it's almost like the left flipper is just not strong enough i mean he'll hit it it's just not consistent yeah so i mean if someone is able to get into it good for them but i've only been able to qualify it off with the skill plunge which oh yeah you know you see here light cons always fun get if that's another multiball yeah start to fall to qualify khan you either get the skill shot here or light all the end lanes at the bottom once you do the start is this little uh scoop or saucer rather in the center of the field this uh hold on this one right there yeah only accessible through the side and it's a really late flip oh i think i'm up all right go get him elizabeth [Music] so we're watching right now trent augustine we had a quick up and down from eric fear and trent eric justin and bob are all just duking it out here in round six for that top slot top 16 are going to go into the a division at the end of round eight bottom 16 no not bottom six next 16 are going into the b division everybody else going home ah hopefully not going home they'll stick around it's been my experience at this tournament because there's so many great machines and so many great people that uh even once you're out you hang out play some more pinball the ones that aren't being used whatever so trent augustine kicks it to the uk so he can go up to the battlefield up top that battlefield can be worth quite a bit oh he found khan defeated khan very quickly at 70 000 or sorry 70 million points i know trent didn't want to drain there nobody ever does but man good good use of that con you can light those khan battles as elizabeth mentioned down here by completing khan and then fight it out in con mode justin ryan's back up gets one locked i love this animation in shadow where it sucks the ball back through that channel and disappears we we mentioned i mean look these posts are are way out um see right here eric likes to make his games hard so those are as far out as they can go so that these outlanes are super draining [Applause] let's see what bob can do here he gets himself a lock ball one nice lube picks up that two million point bonus two because it was two in a row and unfortunately a drain there so eric's trailing by quite a bit but uh forgive the pun i i would have no fear because erica is very very good and he's super successful today i like where he's going so we are in uh to answer your question pinball in we are in round six of eight for qualifying and then we will have quarterfinals semifinals and finals so you've got a whole bunch of pinball left to play is the point oh right out over the top scoop all right sorry top sling you you might notice that uh on a shot like that there's a lot of spin on the ball you don't think about it much uh if you know with pinball but the reason why it works its way up is because it's actually spinning left at that point the ball is going in a counterclockwise rotation which is actually going to drive it to that out lane and it can be a real killer trent augustine whose name i misspelled before i apologize is gonna oh that was wild he made the shot it didn't quite stick but he was able to recover and all of a sudden we're playing multiball how do you like this [Music] i mean this is exactly the dream right he's going to start shooting ramps like crazy he's going to try and get all all four of these ramps while playing at multiball but you don't have much in the way of a ball save so it didn't work out the way trent was hoping i think goes to a quick outlane drain rattled on the in lane and straight out inverted boots love those first-time chats i hope you guys all dive in and participate in the chat just so you know we are watching los welcome to the stream i got you right here hello hello hello lois how you playing today man i'm doing all right yeah yeah nothing crazy but we've been we've been following along yeah i keep waiting for your game of thrones spectacular right when does that happen whenever i get game of thrones i keep getting the odds and evens and jungle queens yeah keep getting all the old ones yeah good time so on shadow what's your what's your preferred strategy um it depends on how it's playing if the ramps if the flippers are nice and strong the doing the ramps just getting all four ramps vengeance out just send it you know yeah that's nice but on this particular one it's hard to get a good ramp flow at least i was finding that so i was kind of just doing the buffet of a little bit of everything you know use the ball save to hit the drop target to get the sink of the uh battlefield open maybe hit a lot hit a magnet like just kind of one of everything try and just just play it off yeah maybe start a mode if i'm on the left flipper yep but uh yeah i played it earlier i got like 160. so i didn't really do a whole lot but i kind of just got to shop around if i remember earlier you did beat uh khan up in the battlefield though and picked up the 70 million for that right uh no i don't think i completed it oh is that somebody else okay somebody else okay uh as soon by the way as soon as you join this this happens every time as soon as you join the stream it just blows up over here what up everybody appreciate y'all hanging out in chat for sure yeah i mean you're one of the more prolific streamers on in pinball people love i love watching you i know people who watch this stream love watching you what keeps you streaming every day it's uh people man it's just like hanging out with everybody you know signing in and everyone's there it's a big hangout it does feel like it doesn't yeah yeah oh hold on one second you bet all right so we had a video mode there for a second for eric fear got out of the way of 10 of them ferbers oh nice nudge back in guys guys watch this nudge the video mode there for a second for arrows got out of the way of 10 and then ferbers oh nice nudge back in right it didn't look like much guys unless you know what you're looking for that one was going out lane and eric knew that it wasn't about taking the momentum off the ball eric knew was about adding momentum to the ball because he had to get it back in and it was going fast enough that he could add a little momentum and push it back in to the play field nice job on that save from eric fear classic nudging love it a lot of folks look at that score 62 nine to 61 nine yeah on ball three oh you really do all right see if trent oh no walk off trance gotta walk off free we'll see what he does that doesn't mean he's just gonna let it drain and plunge and walk away yeah let it say game over before something breaks yeah that's a good before something break i think he's putting in the results right now yeah yep so trent's got this one for seven points nice and then we've got justin coming in second for five eric just just to touch behind justin yeah for three points and then bob is gonna pick up one point for this one and i mean we're looking at our top group here so these points really matter right oh yeah because once we get into the a uh quarters and semis uh it's going to decide position who you're playing essentially yeah and any kind of priority that your seating would get you yep it all makes a difference it all makes a difference it's tempting to think of this sort of a division b division split as like okay now we're all restarting but we're not because right it now matters who you're playing and what you're playing have you picked a bank by the way i haven't even seen the banks ah well we'll take a look at him okay so trent's just playing for fun at this point he doesn't have anything he needs to do just waiting for that ball save to end yeah let's take a look at the bank speaking of which okay come over here in case you're starting to think about your strategy yeah and of course i immediately think you're going to go to bank too but uh i mean i just really hate big game so i don't know i think he did that on purpose he does that on purpose he knows what he's doing yeah uh but it might be worth it just you know imagine i didn't hate big game then that bank would be awesome well how do you feel about quick draw quick draw's fine okay it's like pretty in the middle okay about it you know in terms of want or don't want uh it'll be interesting if you end up against eric in a really important match and you go with bank two he is a big game monster i mean he is really good on that game sure but we know that game of thrones is your thing yeah i like game of thrones a lot but do you have another backup table if game of thrones is bank 11 doesn't look too bad walking dead big house odds and even i've seen you play walking dead you're very like walking dead yep bank nine isn't terrible um i don't know these are all pretty good banks i mean ooh how do you pick between two and nine between two and nine yeah um [Music] definitely nine well i like jungle queen more as an em like comparative to quick draw okay and diamond lady seems a bit more controllable than big game yep to me personally but diamond lady can also be like really awkward and like things don't work the way you think they're gonna you've just described the 1980s for got lead you know and i think 1980s for me i think i was pretty awkward yeah you are not trent one day we can only also i meant to ask i noticed a lot of times people were saying carlos they used to say lois do you have a preference no okay can i still call you the laser though sure all right as long as you put the at the beginning i'm just kidding don't do it there it's done uh kentuckiana sean says i like four and ten yeah games do show up in multiple banks because we have 17 games and as you can see uh you can't pick the same bank twice so yep the z like the ohio state university uh hey talk to me about outlaw pinball okay tell me about i i know every time i see you've got this cool outlaw pinball gear yeah they have a lot of different uh designs and t-shirts they got hats they got they got all kinds of things they're uh doing an avengers pinball giveaway oh as well they've been doing giveaways with their um kind of a sales promotion so how do i get that how do i get my avengers i think there's a few ways but uh i know every dollar you spend gets you an entry and getting vip and there's other ways to get bonus entries and double entries oh that's awesome yeah okay i could use me a little avengers at home that sounds all right some clothes and some avengers yeah i'd be willing to take a free avengers you know for the community yeah yeah take one for the team somebody's got it right somebody has to do it mine as well it might as well be let me see if eric is going to move us over to something else yeah how are we looking who is still playing it looks like uh right now on shadow bob is just messing around so we'll see what eric wants to take us to i'll take a look at the standings while we're here i don't even want to see the standings all right close your eyes lows i was only a few people left there we go well these look like some familiar names yeah you've got a few games still in play those are the ones with the colored dots and buy them but uh oh sorry i gotta refresh i'm like this this can't be right yeah there we go so trent pulls ahead at 38 eric and justin four points behind chad just a little bit behind that ross and then uh bob elizabeth matt and joe are duking it out remember our top 16 at the end of eight rounds will go on to a division the next 16 will go on to b division and then everybody 33 through 43 is done for the day and we've seen some pretty significant changes over the last three rounds we had folks that were playing middle of the pack that dropped to the bottom we've seen some new names in the top five chad marshall uh straight up swiss right this is like one through four and then five through eight right right yeah yep yeah that that usually results in big movements yep and we saw uh we saw chad last night put on a clinic yeah he's killing it yeah he was doing great i mean he had a huge comeback on big house was it big house whatever was he beat me on it yesterday that was hot tip i think it was a hot tip he had a big run you can have huge like single ball game like comebacks on that right well once you get that double bonus living on that spinner free yep the question came up is there a league in lexington i don't know lexingtonians you tell us yeah any lexingtonians in chat i assume that's what they're called like tonight tony tonins tonins what is a person from lexington called inverted booth you'll have to tell us i don't know no idea so you've been able to play quite a bit around today is there one game that's treating you better today better today just uh comparatively to just the other games yeah to the other game something that's just sort of i had a good ball or a good crack like in tournament yeah uh hot tip was a good one yeah yeah i was able to actually get control and like do things i've had a lot of just plunge hit some pops hit one drop outline yeah just a lot of those where i mean that's expected but it's it's just a lot it's just like again come on yeah but uh what else that was me on grand prix yesterday it was just no matter what i plunged it didn't seem to matter it was a pop bumper and out to an outlander sometimes it's just like that yep where are you going do you know oh we'll find out where we're going in a second are there any games that are feeling particularly brutal um so far it seems like big game and jungle queen have not been friendly yeah all it takes is like just give me the ball on the flipper and then we'll be fine yeah i mean that's like actually i can just get to the flippers pop bumper differently yeah and then i'll be fine you know yep yep yep yep i saw a bunch of folks draining on big game right off the plunge where they would hit that upper pop bumper and then just straight out it's weird geometry i don't know it is i gotta find my my coming of age with big game apparently because it's just not not the move right even even when you know all the rules even when you have the strategy like completing those bingo cards is always an exercise and everyone's got a plan and you're trying to don't get the ball yeah you know right right until you don't get the ball it's really hard i've been enjoying stars this weekend as well come hang fun to chats the fact that you can chat at all is amazing to me i'm the worst i'm addicted to it now yeah also known as what the in lane pass is that what they call that i don't know but yeah alley pass if i was the alley pass thank you if i were mark schatz at this point i would feel so good that i got an entire yeah i mean he was named after me he's a movement the shots man i did sleep last night yeah i slept right there oh he got famous for yeah but that's legit that's legit yeah yeah he perfected transmitter i'd like to think that uh oh did you sleep i did sleep yeah i got some there were still people playing and i passed out on that couch i was exhausted what is fall guys it's uh you know the art video game oh you're like the little like it's like a game show and you're like it's kind of like a mxc or you know like a like a where you get like obstacle course and you're trying to run through and you try and beat everybody is it an older one or a newer no it's new okay i know almost nothing no idea what fall guys is but yeah no i i was playing it a bunch on thursday friday yeah there was a rumor that you'd been streaming like all night and i came and played pinball 18 hours i feel like i would just run out of stuff to talk about how do you do it um i just i don't know i'm not really sure it just kind of start you start to think out loud yeah and then and then you get delirious and then you just start saying stuff well people and people will talk in the chat and want to have a conversation and people come and go and then we were in a voice call so there's people who carrying conversation they're you know going back and forth yeah uh yeah if it's just you in a room and no one's really saying anything then yeah it's kind of tough to say to keep talking i can imagine but you just gotta pretend there's people there and then eventually people show up if you don't say anything no one's gonna say people aren't likely to just start conversations right right right and if they do it might not be something you even wanna talk about right so if you just start talking about things eventually they'll comment and then it starts now you're having a dialogue about something you are have interested you know so i like watching the streams but i do i do wonder sometimes like jack danger for instance he will go you know three four hours of just him with a pinball machine and then streamies and i think that would be difficult okay so we're going to solid yeah let's go to uh a miniatorial how does how does that sound you want to learn how to play joker poker lewis yeah sure as if you don't already know how to play jokes i love minotaurs i love minotaurs too all right let's take a look at uh at uh old joker poker shall we you joke and you poke let's play some cards joker poker people let's go all right on the plunge you're going to notice the top three lanes a b and c they'll be lick green if you hit any of those or worth 5 000 points the flashing lane is the skill shot worth an additional 10 000 points this game has a pascal all-in-one board in it that's what adds the skill shot to the game also after that you'll notice the bottom you have the 10 card lit for a thousand and bonus down by the flippers during ball one you want to hit down the 10 drop target which is over here on the left if you do that you will get 5x bonus for the ball to increase bonus hit down drop target banks each drop target bank is worth a different number of points 2 000 for jax 3 000 for queens on up kings and aces all the way up to 5 000. if you get down all the drop target banks in one ball you will get max bonus at 5x and that is big points outside of that tickle to light extra ball collect a b and c up at the top lanes here or at the bottom lanes down below here that will light extra ball at this target at the top right if the game is set to collect them you will collect an extra ball if it's set to points it's worth ten thousand points to get special you can hit down the set of king drop targets down here on the bottom right and the ace targets up in the top left or you can hit down the king targets on the bottom right and collect the abc's that will light special on this lane here and that is also worth ten thousand points finally you can collect a second extra ball during the ball if you hit down the ace drop target bank so each ball you have an opportunity at two extra balls and one special that is joker poker well there you go that's joker poker yeah it's easy you just you just send it just do the thing really i just try to each ball there's like one set of drops that you want to focus on you just do that and then everything else is great everything everything after that's traditional and you just stay alive i think the big secret on this one for me was learning that once i hit that one target it doesn't matter so just go for the safest drop targets yeah which for me is the queen bank i just live on that queen bank i'm fourth on big house so hopefully you got a second yeah hopefully i can steal a lock that's nice that's nice it's got that really special uh corkscrew mechanism it's a weird game yep i don't think i've ever played it no there's a couple here that i'd never played before until i met eric i'd never seen a diamond lady ever yeah oh he knew he knew as soon as that came down he's like yep that's one of those big old rainbows where you're like i feel safe and then it goes oh i gotta switch up i was like that's not justin ryan no it's because i didn't do my job rip and fix it almost gets left this isn't weird so you got like what 10 points on the flipper let's see the left queen target interesting choice yeah so i mean yeah he's looking for that 10. yeah i feel like this game is really easy to like miss and then you just like silently bounce around the game like you don't score any points it just rolls and then just like slowly creeps down the middle glad i didn't do anything i wonder if he was shooting for the 10 there and just missed it or if he's intentionally going for the jacks because he's not playing towards that 10. no not sure if he knows about the 10. maybe he does he may not or or he just couldn't hit the shot it is a pretty dangerous shot too i mean if you hit it right it's going to also then come straight down toward the top of this left sling yeah classic geometry damn it physics i hated you in high school and i hate you now this game i've just been full plunging yeah i've been plunged lazy a big game or not big game big house that's the same or like a hard plunge somehow it just lands right in that middle lane it gets exactly where you wanted it that's awesome now i lazy plunge this one too because when i try really hard nothing changes exactly might as well you can see him doing some classic guarding there the flippers could not turn it around into what he wanted this is one of those things you see a lot of players do and if you're a new player to pinball um you may not do it sort of instinctively but uh there's some guarding that happens down here so if the ball is over here and it looks like it might come down you'll see people instinctively will raise that flipper oh oh oh he's doing math that's the classic chad what what he likes to visualize he's like a i think of it like lining up a golf shot or something like he's he's trying to like create these vectors with this oh he got it or like pointing at stuff and he just likes to remind himself but yeah writers and he walks up okay what am i looking at what are these angles chad is a really analytical thinker yeah he's brilliant guy yeah really analytical thinker so i think that probably works really to his favor figuring out the angle all he needs is just to learn all the rules to all the games i mean he knows rules but like don't show him the minitorials man i've been trying to teach him games teach him strat very cool that was one of the things we were talking about earlier is this is a really supportive community that even when we're in competition between games we're talking strategy we're helping each other out we're pointing out shots we're all trying to get better yeah everybody's trying to get better you can also see uh this flipping behavior and i know you do this quite a lot too low so yeah you actually time with the flipper right you can see him yeah it's not because he thinks the ball is coming there it's because he's getting ready for his timing or just making sure the flipper like just keep reminding yourself of the angles of the flipper because it might not go out as far as you thought it was going to and now your flip's all weird yep just a way to it does like a lot of things approach it teach them wrong they were talking about american attorneys what what's the complaint europe what's the complaint that's what i want to know i don't even want to know the trend trent's barely trying to edge it just right over the edge on the plunge i have a feeling i'm gonna be up here shortly i'm gonna go over there do it i'll see y'all do it all right we'll see you you wanna hop in there no very good very good no not at all it's okay trent augustine going for oh what are you playing okay so bree's playing grand prix she wants to stay focused on her game she is right there she just doesn't want to be on camera there it is all right trent let's see what you can do so he is lit for jax right now he gets his jacks which automatically gives you a 5x bonus when you complete your target which changes every ball uh you like that 5x bonus the question is what's he going to make of it not a whole lot he's going to get 10 000 out of it did not have a whole lot of bonus build i don't think let's see what eric can do eric is now up on the jacks shot does not try and nudge to that c that that skill shot's worth a lot i mean it's worth trying for for sure there's 10 000 points right off the bat if you can hit that skill he's got his 5x bonus lip by hitting those jacks he's being quite precise about it now he's going up top to the aces which of course are a little safer because they're way up there but they're all so hard to hit and then that happens so there you go this is a real danger of playing the aces is exactly what just happened to eric is you're gonna have a hit off the bumper and then a straight drain down the middle nudging around does not pick up the skill but completed the b lane how'd it go uh not great i was guessing by the fact that you were back oh yeah center pops to center green but it's fine oh really boo all right you'll see justin pretty close game so far yep justin's going for those jacks he misses left but while you're up top why not clear out the aces doesn't hurt uh it's whatever it's whatever bank is lit getting the shield shot if it's at the sea i see like i always i can see the appeal of just doing light plunge until it just slowly creeps out and rolls out there but it seems i don't know i'm not a fan of that it's probably the move sometimes i'll do it but like i don't know on this one it doesn't seem okay so he's got his 5x oh nice nudge back out there moving around got a little dodgy race he nudged it back in one more oh nice save oh there you go good slap save there come on pop there you go right there nice okay that's big oh oh free has pointed out something i did not know about this game well he he had he had it the 5x lit from the two jacks oh he already had the 5x lit because it's ball two well let's see we'll keep tracking it because that's a really changing point depending on what ball you're on yeah i know if you knock down the ace targets twice i think that's what lights your extra ball and the extra balls yeah that pink target back there right here it's only 10k yeah i mean i guess it could be a big it could be a difference but when bonus is as fatty as it can be it's like yep it feels so small so you're just going for the light the extreme light plunge let's see what he can do back over nope nope a little bit under plunge there oh at least you get some upper foot for action yeah it's really hard to get back up to those targets but you can complete them that's my experience right now yeah mess up the plunge get a weird upper flipper out lane next mixed this is a five ball game yep and we are in the middle of ball three player two eric fear for the shill shot so this ball you gotta focus on the queens the three bank in the middle you have to get your 5x which is my favorite bank on this one i think it's the easiest to backhand yeah yeah just because you can hit them in one hit i like the queens too the kings are sketch they're all sketch the 10 is really sketch oh good one wow it's got a little drift on that that worked out well classic all right loose is off to play his ball [Music] and let's see what eric can do nice nudge over the top of the sling there brings it back into action it was working its way towards the drain but he still has not completed the queen bank so he doesn't get his 5x bonus although he's been building bonus it doesn't matter for the 5x unless you actually complete the whole bank [Music] we got some bonus out of it but not quite what he was going for so right now justin ryan's trailing the lead by quite a bit um he's got 22 to chad's 102. and he's uh he's in last place right now but of course he's still got this plus two more balls so a lot can change oh see center of the sling again the center of the sling typically on most machines if you hit it dead center and you don't intervene with a nudge it's going out or it's going out every pinball machine is built to drain you that's its job and if you're a really good game designer you figure out how to have people have a lot of fun but also drain so that you can get that next quarter and uh this is a this game is great for that it's great for fun uh and at the same time like every pinball machine its job is to drain your ball pokey we are in uh independence kentucky we are in northern kentucky the n in nky nice nudge again from chad again he put just he put extra energy on the ball he wasn't gonna win by taking energy off like you might when you're getting into a little sling ladder he put extra energy on the ball to drive it back out of the out lane and back into the inland thank you for that first chat too pokey great to have you friends uh we would love a follow we would love for you to follow straight down the middle pinball so that we can share this with you every time we're online we can even send you a notification when we're online so you can see all the great stuff we do throughout

you are exactly right we're right now getting into the jacks round which is a bit more accessible inverted boots thank you for that um it's a bit more accessible the jacks and the queens are a little bit easier to get to than some of the other shots the kings are really dangerous the 10's super dangerous thank you for supporting kentucky pinball inverted boots i agree kentucky's a for you know we were talking about this earlier it's not a tremendously you know populist state compared to some others but has incredible pinball for its size and population incredible pinball really amazing pinball community i know uh i'm told louisville is the the biggest city uh by quite a bit uh lexington and then i think frankfurt but but there's a lot of country in the middle and there's still great pinball out in the country great pinball in the cities uh and of course up here in northern kentucky towards cincinnati we are lucky enough to have this pinball community right now chad markham has got kind of a runaway he's almost got double the next competitor eric fear but a lot can happen in one ball especially when you're talking about a 5x bonus kind of game a whole lot changes real fast look at that sling action the sling's job in pinball is to create chaos same with the pop bumpers they're an amazing innovation because they could take a force applied from any direction and multiply it right that's what a pop bumper does it takes a force from 360 degrees and multiplies it in some random response and randomness is the enemy pokey thank you for following dg banky says i had a great time playing in louisville lax weekend yes the louisville arcade expo is a ton of fun and it's not just pinball there but i have to say pinball is a highlight zanzibar and wreck bar always show up with incredible pins we have people here from cincinnati that bring down pins i know uh phoebe and larry who run the cincinnati pinball championship bring a bunch down we always have a great showing from up here and i got to tell you these three states and these cities show up for each other we have people in from columbus cleveland indianapolis louisville lexington we show up for each other because we love playing pinball we love playing together so we make the drive they make the drive here rose rain welcome so happy to have you welcome back today uh so today is a great question last night we had our strikes tourney nine strikes would get you out trent augustine unhappy with that and i understand why uh trent is still in third but there's still a ball to play for justin ryan so he may end up at fourth last night was a strikes tournament nine strikes put you out this is a match play tournament so instead of counting up strikes we're counting up points or sorry kind of down strikes we're counting up points you get seven points for a first place win out of your four per game you get uh five points for a second place win you get third or three points for third place and you get one point for fourth place and if you just as we go you just keep adding up those points and in one more round we're gonna take all those points and we're gonna say the top 16 point getters are our a division the next 16 are our b division so that's 17 through 32. everybody else is done for the day and then the a division plays and the b division plays simultaneously to find out who is our a division champion b division champ bree welcome back hello we missed you i know sorry i was hiding no it's great how did it go um second place second place nice it was a rough start you pulled back to second awesome you're watching chad markham now on ball five who really doesn't need to play this but he's gonna do it anyway which is fine uh because he is far and away the winner of this game so he's gonna walk away with first place in seven points he's been playing great pinball today he won the strikes tournament last night you're gonna see in second place eric fear third place is going to trent augustine and justin ryan in fourth oh i love to hear that that all the kentucky folks are so welcoming i just love yay and and we can't wait for cincinnati either oh yeah i can't with you i agree this show is gonna be even bigger than last year last year we had like 115 120 pins we're gonna have even more pins we're gonna have a bigger tournament um it's gonna be bigger prizes this year we're offering bigger cash prizes for winning for the tournaments i mean it's really good we're looking for additional sponsors so if you do uh have any interest in sponsoring cincinnati we do a stream just like this but for three days it's crazy it's so much fun too yep and we're talking about uh who could sponsor diet earp says when is skyline going to sponsor i got to tell you i'm a gold

straight down the middle yeah i think so as long as it doesn't back out here's hoping yep all right we're going to move to walking dead everybody let's go to our tutorial we haven't covered this one today i know let's take a look at how walking dead happens shall we coral i want to learn some walking dead pinball okay to start off your skill shot goes through the star rollovers up into the top rollover after that you want to concentrate on the three bank drop targets this will light all your modes to start a mode just shoot that shot once in a mode for arena barn or riot just continue to hit those mode shots for big points if you're in tunnel you want to shoot all the other shots butt tunnel to score big points and stay in that mode for cdc you want to loop the left ramp do that enough to light other shots around the play field hit those to collect to build a value and then collect that value via the cdc ramp again to extend time and modes continue to hit the drop target banks down and you can stay in modes as long as you want each time you hit a drop target bank down you will collect one of three items once you collect all three items you will light bloodbath shoot the drop target bank down one more time to start bloodbath blood i need to learn exactly what you're talking about but you're right sorry i paused the tutorial because he said he was moving over to walking dead oh he didn't make the move yet i was like i'll tell you when he makes them no you were correct i bet everybody wants to know how that tutorial is well i'll show you how about that can you skip i don't know i'm going to try let's see if i can interact with it maybe coral i want to learn some walking dead pinball okay to start off your skill shot goes through the star rollovers up into the top rollover after that you want to concentrate on the three bank drop targets this will light all your modes to start a mode just shoot that shot once in a mode for arena barn or riot just continue to hit those mode shots for big points if you're in tunnel you want to shoot all the other shots butt tunnel to score big points and stay in that mode for cdc you want to loop the left ramp do that enough to light other shots around the play field hit those to collect to build a value and then collect that value via the cdc ramp again to extend time and modes continue to hit the drop target banks down and you can stay in modes as long as you want each time you hit a drop target bank down you will collect one of three items once you collect all three items you will light bloodbath shoot the drop target bank down one more time to start bloodbath bloodbath can be combined with any other multiballs once you're in bloodbath you can add balls to play hitting down more banks of drop targets other multiballs well walker shoot this fat guy enough for wall walker multiball prison multiball shoot this prison enough for prison multiball for 2x playfield shoot these two stand ups here to light 2x playfield shoot through the ride shot to the back to the tower target to start 2x playfield also shooting around the playfield at all the zombie targets will increase your zombie kills doing so will light an in lane x once you have an in lane x lit you can switch it with the flippers going through an in lane x will multiply your next shot that multiplier raises depending on how many walkers you've killed up into that point ancillary modes bicycle girls the left ramp lit blue continue to hit that over and over for hurry ups crossbow is right ramp lit yellow that will light major shots around the playfield to collect crossbow shots doing well enough in modes and multiballs will collect weapons down below once you collect all six you'll light horde shoot through the woodbury shot to start the mini wizard mode finally players would like to stack bloodbath a mode and one of well walker or prison multiballs together for massive scoring points even adding 2x playfield and an in lane x shot to get massive collects that's walking dead it sure is and in a second when they actually move it you're not Laser Los in a second when they actually move it over hello hello you see eric's doesn't do the thing it like actually shows you the studio mode so we'll transition back to us here oh yeah that's cool i'll just yeah turn off oh i guess that'll work there we go here's us i'll do it the old hashtag we're back hello uh hello yeah like on ours that it doesn't show the left-hand side oh okay yeah okay yeah we got you back thank you hopefully you can see us now uh we were just transitioning off of that tutorial we're gonna move over to that walking dead in a minute but this is one of those games that's so deep the fact that yeah eric summarized it in two minutes i know that one in uh lord of the rings yeah or not rings game of thrones yeah i think game of thrones he called me and he's like i can't get it down below 2 15. and i was like that's okay i feel like that's okay that's fine that is crazy he talks crazy fast on that one uh so you have to look forward to that when we actually get around to playing it uh peaker 27 subscribe thank you so much uh leveraging

follow the people who are on the bubble of a and b and if those finish before the others we can follow the people on the bubble of staying in the tournament yeah so we're going to doctor who you know some days i know how to play pinball on other days it's just this yeah it's fine all right we're going to dr who i'm going to shadow for the third time today are you ready for shadow now that you've had all this practice here's our switching games cam as we move over to doctor who brief thank you [Applause] uh is there going to be a way to watch these streams on demand from today and yesterday indeed ko spectate there is so um these will be on our twitch channel and you can dial them up anytime you like on twitch we also will eventually download them and have them on youtube but the fastest way to watch them you can even watch last night's uh you could watch it right now but i hope you don't because you're watching this one get your points um you could watch uh the strikes tourney from yesterday anytime after today and you can watch this one anytime after today so there we go we're going doctor who now let's take a look and make sure that we update who's playing dr who because we're now in our final round round eight what makes this game special well it's because these are the folks that are right on the edge of the a and b divisions right on the edge if you take a look at the standings you can see right here see carlos right there these are our folks who are they're either going to end up at the bottom of the a division or the top of the b division most players would say they want to end up in a because then you can battle for the ultimate championship today uh some players might really enjoy being in the top of b because you maybe have a better chance of playing people who are not having the best day but i always like to go for a if i can and you're going to watch carlos lazarlos dg thank you for noticing we really we we do try to not just follow the top players although they're fabulous to watch we want to follow lots of different players play styles and games and i do enjoy the drama ray day welcome so glad to have you i'm so glad to have all of you you're watching lois absolutely destroy that loop going for the who shot misses it just south there you go going for that multiplier there it is 40 million he's got his multiplier way up boom there you go again look at him he's just looping all day 17 18 19. here comes look at that look at that finish oh w h and oh that's going to be it look at that boy he is putting on a clinic friends y'all might want to clip this when it's done but who knows when that's going to be something tells me losses played this game before oh see him timing up with that right flipper gets it spot on and once again with the loops so he is just building this sonic boom then hitting his who ray day notes it's just a three shot game how is it still viable in tournaments i see it tournaments all the time you're right if you've got those three shots down pat like it appears lows does i get it but we've uh we did see some really exciting pinball on this one earlier because it wasn't just this over and over again it's just that again he's putting on a clinic for us finally he has a miss that was his first miss in quite a while and he's gonna be happy with that ending up at 600 million before bonus sorry 591 before bonus hot dog big multipliers big sonic booms ridiculous score and uh yeah one miss on eric's machines the way he dials him up misses a drain you're just joining us i know we just got some new viewers i'm justin masterson this is the northern kentucky open 20 22. we are so excited to be back in action with this one sponsored by cincinnati which is coming up in december if you missed cincinnati last year it was the 150th anniversary of the birth of pinball by a guy named montague redgrave where right here cincinnati ohio well just north cincinnati ohio right across the river we celebrated last year with a big tournament at cincinnati we're going even bigger this year all kinds of cool tutorials player profiles you name it fabulous games bigger prizes for the winners raffles all of it so don't miss cincinnati it's gonna be first weekend in december so greg did not quite have the showing that lost did although it's pretty hard to have the showing that lowe's had craig knight done at 11 and a half million let's see what colin can do remember everybody here is fighting for their position a division or b division there's a lot on the line oh good nudge gets it into the lock there most importantly he saved it from a center drain with a tip a nudge and then a big ole swing away put it in the lock dr six dr six gives you that uh better time better belief your multiplier shot so it's been a really popular choice today did not end up paying off too much on that but good choice good setup it's just once we got to those uh to the time expander once it lifted up off the play field it made for a pretty dangerous shot good tip off the top we'll see what bo can pull off here bo's a great player let's see if he can repeat the kind of loopage that we saw from carlos de la cerda there you go missed that upper loop shot quick drop catch to slow it down dead flip there again the the name of the game when the pinball's firing all over the place is how do i get it to slow down how do i take some of that momentum off the pinball so i can get it back under control drop catch is a great way to do it and uh honestly the dead bounce of the dead flip nine times out of ten that's your best bet just there was another one you can see it all that oh that's gonna be a double danger and that was going to drain no matter what i think but um that dead flip not only does it often take energy off because it it dead bounces but it also then will kind of slowly roll up and inland take all that energy off and all of a sudden you've got your ball back in control here's carlos again starting his lupus sonic boom next he misses the sonic boom shots w-h-o that resets and to the left out lane off the right sling i mean look at this score differential right now at this point everybody else you hate to say it everybody else is playing for second place unless something remarkable happens it's pinball it could happen i always say every game is a ball three game but this is a big score differential high ball 11 thank you so much for that sub thank you so much that sub supports how we keep this stream going it supports uh other folks being able to see great pinball played in a competitive environment with really friendly people so wonderful to have you we are on ball two here so there is another ball yet to play those 600 million is pretty intimidating it's not the uh it's not the end friends if anybody is willing to clip lose's first ball i sure would love to have that oh you're incredible hi ball thank you so much seriously thank you gifting a sub uh to the community here amazing to gift that to the channel gifting a sub to modular vibe really generous and such a great support of what we're doing here so thank you for that all right colin picking up that 2x playfield with the first loop lost control of it hopefully going to get it right back there's a two and a half x play field for two loops three and a half x for three loops there we go it's getting in that rhythm you can see every time it loops it has kind of this natural slowing that happens when it hits just above where it releases right here so it does allow you to really time it up see that right there it kind of drops into that channel and slows down for a second and if you really if you really get that timing down you can kind of do it forever as low showed us jay monte thank you for that sub through prime so glad to have you so glad to have you subscribers make a huge difference guys it's it's it's a fantastic way to support what you like seeing on twitch and those prime subs are great those tier one subs are great just really glad to have you bits are always welcome of course but it's a wonderful way to support competitive pinball and pinball streaming if you care about it as much as i do all right colin what you got at 108 colin is becoming a force to be reckoned with on this one slow start for all three of our competitors that uh aren't carlos greg colin and bo but uh collins is doing well he can re-lock now he's got about 20 seconds left to actually re-lock he pulls it off there's that re-lock almost had that jackpot for 4 mil look at that lights up video mode video mode can be worth quite a bit on this game you just keep lighting it and landing it the trouble is those pops are so hot uh eric really really juices his uh his machine so those pops are really hot they're all rebuilt and it's hard to actually get it to land in that uh in that scoop nice little short jumps makes it to the tardis dalek free oh that's a bummer boy that sonic boom can be really valuable almost had it really a nice ball so he's opened up quite a lot of room here on ball two let's see if bo can catch up yeah thank you for noting that um the the displayed value is multiplied it's not uh that value then the multiplier uh that was uh unfortunately a short ball for bo so he's going to come down to ball three for him for sure if he's going to catch up oh not what lose wanted out of that one either but still a commanding lead on doctor who in a very nice position yeah yeah let's see what greg knight can do he had a really disappointing last ball i think he looked pretty frustrated with but you got to forget quickly and recover i mean you can't hold on to that that's the thing about pinball it's so mental but like your last ball literally has no impact on your next ball from a physics standpoint it's just mentally the energy is still there so grateful to have oh yeah look at that got the lock so grateful to have uh all of these followers and subscribers thank you guys thank you how awesome is that that is amazing it's a it's a wonderful way to support pinball support streamed pinball competitive pinball thank you so much oh oh greg that was rough what happened there i want to see that again because that felt like pinball support stream was involved competitive pinball thank you so much it was just i think he thought it was going to bounce yeah what happened there i want to yeah look at this nice colin's back in his loops man now he first first ball he he struggled second ball he just was nailing these loops i mean he got his timing down yeah it's gonna get right back up go for that loop that first loop is the hardest because you don't have that stopping mechanism right after that it gets quite routine and he's showing us how it's done right there that was nice next is sonic boom there's the sonic boom let's get it oh come on let's get it gotta get who timed out so he's gonna start it up again wait did he get did he still get it in time he got the h he got the h there it is nice there you go hey man we'll take that 40 million puts them up to 325 it's not gonna be enough for a first place but it's a real solid second that's a very nice ball unless bo has something to say about it yeah which bo could definitely have something to say about it so happy to highlight pinball and kentucky inverted boots absolutely it deserves it kentucky is again for the for the size of the population kentucky you are an outsized pinball state and it's awesome central kentucky pinball coming soon looking forward to that would love to see some streaming from central kentucky some events from central kentucky i'll make that drive kentucky is a beautiful state any opportunity to drive through kentucky is a good one i agree i was just down in maysville last weekend yeah and it is just the most adorable historic town i love it kentucky is also home to rabbit hash have you been to rabbit hash i have not it's a little i mean by little i mean little town on the river uh west of uh west of where northern kentucky and cincinnati meet and their mayor is a dog and you could you get to go pet the mayor if you like that's something yeah there we go got both of those locks what would be your strategy coming into this on who yeah oh man so i i'm sort of since i'm bad at the upper loop i'm just historically terrible at it i always go to multiball and big bonuses big jackpots on multiball it's it's not the best strategy but it is the only one that works for me because i cannot hit up her loops i'm bad at the ramp i'm bad at the who shots what about you uh if i was in bo's situation i would have done what he just did yeah i would have tried to go for multi wall but then i would have trapped up and tried to get my my multiplier while i could yeah and then even even like one and a half like anything yeah yeah i mean that's one of the things that makes this loop kind of special is that you you do get the feed straight to the same flipper a lot of loops they cross over so you have to go right left right left right left on here you can just trap up on the right and play that left flipper over and over again so it goes to carlos colin in second with a fantastic showing and then i believe greg and bo in that order and uh that's gonna have an impact on who's in a and who's in b yeah cause we watched the bubble game that was the bubble game let's see who else is playing i wonder if we can get eric to take us to those fighting for their life hold on one sec i bet he would first thank you all for being here with us we really appreciate it um we love being here streaming for you so thanks again for hanging out with us all day big thanks to justin i know he's off stream right now but he's amazing and has been doing really great things all day and yesterday so thank you so very much to him also thanks to everyone who's hopped on the stream uh i know carlos was on here and elizabeth and deborah and myself so hopefully we're answering all your pinball questions and getting you all that fun content so see where we can go i might be able to pull the standings let's see nope maybe not it's probably labeled with something like really silly that i can't figure out hey there we go look at me okay look at our match-ups so are we going anywhere yeah we're gonna go to hot tip we're gonna watch those finish the game who are fighting for their lives on hot tip that's kyle bill wayne and deborah perfect all right uh that's one and then this one right now you're just watching willie allen play around on doctor who but this one hot tip you got it let's move games i love hot tubs i'm so excited the question came down the pike earlier and forgive me for uh for missing it but the question came down the pike what's your favorite modern stern my favorite mod yeah um at the moment stranger things it is pretty great i really love it yeah that's a toughy for me man yeah i really really like stranger things yeah yeah i'm gonna say batman 66 for me another good one bat 66 is just such a it's such a deep game i like such a great theme uh i just i wasn't even a fan of the original show until i got the pin and then i went back and watched the whole series and i'm like this is great i'm a huge fan of the show okay the pins okay the pin's okay yeah where does it fall short for you i don't know i think i haven't played it enough okay player three who is wayne rouse yes has rolled the game so that means uh this number here you just have to add a one because he's doing that well on an em there's no way to sometimes well sometimes they have a hundred thousand likes yeah but yeah but but you know there's only so many reels so um so that game is rolled and you're on ball four i think wrapping ball four does that sound right i think so it's hard to see on this on this display but yeah uh so you're watching people fighting for their lives if they if they clear they'll still be in the tournament if they don't well they won't be in the tournament and deborah tallman most of all because she's two points shy on the others so she's at 286 you've got kyle koch at 307. you've got bill walburn behind both of them at 190 but don't let the number fool you wayne rouse rolled the game meaning more than 999 thousand points and it rolled over to 1.03 million kyle koch didn't get much out of that ball that's going to be a bummer for him because it is right on the fence by the way it is pronounced coke in case you're wondering he and our buddies it looks like cook pronounced coke i would have said coke yeah you would have said coke yeah okay i i initially thought cook but i was wrong i did a lot of public speaking when i was in 4-h and i did like show announcing and so i'm like used to seeing a lot of names oh that's awesome yeah 4h is awesome seven years what was your uh what was your favorite livestock indoor crop did not take livestock took still projects because i lived in the city yeah although my my like last year of 4-h i begged my mom to get a goat and i kept it in like a kid's play area and i had a market goat which was really cool um yeah so i like goats a lot did your goat have a name no yeah because because it's a market sometimes i call them goatee makes sense yeah so that was fun for a second i thought bill walburn had a tie on uh that would be a spaceship i also thought it was a tie when you when you said that i was like yeah it was a tie and then i and then i was like but i think it would literally be the first person i've ever seen play pinball with a tie on so now now i know what my outfit is for my next tournament oh almost gets that double bonus so bill is going up top on hot tip to try and catch that double bonus in the scoop every time you hit the uh the little slingies on the left and right hello or maybe are they passive are they slings they might be passive um you're trying to land on that double bonus first because that just really increases your score after that you know it's all points and then you can actually light that uh captive ball on the right which is honestly it's only 30 000 points a shot and it's super dangerous so it's not worth it i feel the same way yep inverted boot says grew up with a girl with the same last name pronounced cook yeah i know cook koch as well so there you go oh bill so bill watch this bill kind of i think mis estimated where this ball was going so bill watch this build kind of course you know it's always rear rear rear view is that the term maybe i know what you're trying to do you know retrospection let's say that here's wayne rouse who's already rolled this game i think if i'm wayne i'm pretty confident at this point nice yeah nice little tip there dalton i think i speak for both of us when i say we'd love to see a tap pass on this game i asked uh eric about this he said that those flippers if i remember right that those flippers hindsight thank you friends yeah um those flippers are original to the game really but they don't seem like they well not not that these specific pieces of plastic but the size of the flippers i would have guessed that we had the old-timey roundy ones but i think he said these are original which is weird that sound right to you guys and you guys got one of these at home i love this game i do too hot tip is so fun again satisfying spinner shot love the scoop just off the side of the spinner you can pick it up by accident sometimes yep there's enough to do like in the top you don't have to i just i really like this game a lot i think she's going for a hot tip if you hit hot tip you light that spinner and we're talking about a thousand points of spin if you light it so even though it's a more of a dangerous shot to go for a hot tip juiced i mean think about what that would have been worth right there that's like 40 spins right yeah they are juiced yeah i feel like the first thing eric wortenberger does every morning is he gets his three-in-one oil out and just oils this i told you that he posted a picture of him like with the bottle it's like all of our spinners are juiced yes it's like thank you i three and one oiled my uh the rush that i have at the house and uh now when you hit it it's just like it's four hours of just loving it oh it feels so good you can go get a soda come back still spin it that lift lit the captive ball yep um so that's gonna will she take the bait i wouldn't i wouldn't not for thirty thousand in a bonus ad she isn't either she says no sir i can do it tap passes yeah it's probably an unnecessary risk but they are cool i'm just saying they're cool i don't strategically think it's a great idea oh goodness what if look at this would have loved to have seen a slap here i don't know that she got one in there cool i'm just saying they're cool i don't strategically think it's a great idea because it was so close and she's fighting for her life i mean this is when you take that risk although good showing at 389 so maybe i'm wrong because this is ball five she just need to pull ahead she wasn't trying to catch up to wayne not worth sacrificing the bonus i'm wrong maybe the slap would have been too risky i mean i still would have gone for it i'm wrong at least 50 times a stream so this is number 43. okay well i mean that that does it for that game so let's take a look at our standing let's take a look at the impact i'm not much on basic arithmetic so i'll let the uh i'll let the computers do the work let's make sure we're refreshed and well hydrated here we go so friends you're looking at it our top 16 we may have to have a playoff here between greg diane wayne and nathan to decide who's going to be in the top 16 being the a division and then down around 32 kyle we have kyle you and jason for a playoff yeah one survivor yep oh so who do we do is it going to be the bubble group or is it going to be the fight for their life don't be shadow hey stream what do you want to see do you want to see the people fighting at a versus b or do you want to see the people fighting to stay in the tournament you tell me but vote quick because we have to make a decision go go go go go go go quickly quick real quick quick cnk says i just want to see big house whoever's playing big house you like big house because again it's one of where where are you ever going to see that again yeah you know what i mean red dragon let's go bree thanks good luck free pinball howard says thank you all you're all so sweet you are so sweet fight for your life game trans meta we got one vote for that just want to see bree all right yeah you guys are winning uh kentucky and pinball says a versus b let's see bri all right everybody wants to see replay no all right you can see me suck it's fine all right i'm gonna tell eric you guys hang tight for a second hopefully hopefully i don't inside we'll find out maybe just don't be shadow seriously that's a thing [Laughter] justin came over to eric was like we want to see the fight for your life tiebreaker immediately yep gross okay jesus i swear to you [Music] it's good that y'all can't see my face because if we get shadows this is so exciting all right so right now it's going to be we're going to go to kyle bree and jason they're going to have a is it a one ball play-off okay one ball in game of thrones premium that was a randomized choice from the computer the order is kyle bree jason that's what you just saw the order is kyle bree jason is that not right it'll change every time you refresh kyle bree jason okay okay here we go three you get one ball what do you do with it i know what do you do with one ball game of thrones is not a one ball game kyle bree jason fighting it out on game of thrones all right what do you do with one ball everybody [Music] fight for your life one everybody want to see bree play i don't disagree kyle bree and jason on one ball of game of thrones meanwhile the a versus b's are going to have their fight i'm guessing also one ball on a random uh dmd or modern and that is going to be greg diane wayne and nathan two of them get to stay and two have to go one ball yeah i completely agree dg one ball what do you do you guys what do you do baratheon center ramp go right into your mode yeah that sounds actually pretty good honestly [Music] i mean on one ball i'm not going for multiball i'm not going for blackwater you could do martell and try and double your playfield assuming you can build enough gold in the meantime oh wait martel attaball yeah now i wouldn't do out of ball i do baratheon start my mode okay well as our resident game of thrones pro let's ask hello one ball oh game's up oh game's up all right so we got kyle kyle bree and jason i'm gonna turn off this thing because that's not who's playing uh i picked baratheon when i played my practice games on it i think it's set up brutally enough that you need defense a defensive pick rather than an offensive pick yep uh oh no kyle's not gonna be happy with that score did he already use his button or [Music] you say i don't even think he buttoned all right so not a great showing for kyle at one and a half but it could be enough we don't know what's gonna happen with those other two balls bree is going to be up next 20 years people are in this three three okay yep and only one of them sticking around okay honestly maybe tyrell and just start a mode and hit any shots right like that's like literally like two shots i don't even know what the what the score is that he needs that they need to be uh they have to beat each other so right now kyle's first with 1.5 okay yeah that seems or just up top yeah go to the upper play field live up there sure yeah because you can complete or just an entire mode up top yeah yeah yeah even just um yeah i don't know there's a if you don't is it just the top person how many people yeah the justin topper moving on okay all right so you don't have to worry about beating them you just have to worry about as brave as being player two she's gotta put up a score higher than player one and something higher high enough that player three can't beat it all right okay yeah right orbit all day yep oh um pass or play i play it i'd pass it really this mode isn't that many points why not just have it lit though in case you hit it yeah she was like almost doing stuff yeah there you go up in the upper playfield all right all right she's ahead she's ahead of kyle okay all right but she has to be both competitors to stay in there's a one-ball player in the left orbit oh oh this is exciting all right all right back in orbit oh okay third try yeah this is it fourth try you're done for the day if you're not first here okay all right all right called it that foreign is deadly hmm that's all right she's actually on the right ramp probably then okay jason's like whoa so at this point being jason what's he going to do he goes just talking about the top literally gets three million points about game of thrones so that's it right uh oh no okay that didn't go great nah can we get back up top jason's sweating oh kyle and jason say goodbye you hate to see it you do but damn that was exciting wasn't it you guys made the right choice watching people fight for their life it's always always more fun i think so we'll keep you updated on who won the other one because they're doing a one ball playoff to keep two out of four like how all that's been said in the chat is wow wow [Laughter] wow yeah that was insane that was insane yeah i mean his game of thrones play is pretty tough but yep only getting two million fast though jason was playing fast bree was playing fast yeah we saw kyle trap up make some choices jason was playing just wild so looks like it's going to be bree moving on congratulations to bree yeah good thing i gave her all that coaching it was very helpful it was all that coaching all that good coaching really it was more you than her yeah absolutely i was playing vicariously ridiculous all right um so between greg knight diane spacman wayne rouse and nathan brandt two are making a and two are dropping into b and as soon as we see i don't even know what they're playing did you did you catch what they were playing can't wait to find out so where was this tiebreaker on the list uh 15 15. yep so it's two of the four going to stay or two or two or making a two are making b i see yes yep so it's top 16 in a so what's happening uh top 16 in a next 16 and b everybody else going home going to see see ya way to go bree she did it she beat out two competitors in one ball that's a lot of pressure pinball indiana says uh hey good game on dr hulo's thanks that was ridiculous what'd you get 50 loops something like that i was counting them i was following along it was comfortable for you too it was really impressive yeah it felt good and once i put that up i'm like okay i think i got this that should be enough man oh man and he was saying that we're not gonna start finals till 5 30. it's like 40 minutes away start the quarterfinals really yeah i thought he said i heard him say finals at 5 30. yeah we usually do take a break yeah but that's why this is a 12-hour day of pinball right here yeah i mean and there's it's not like you can't play the games there's a basement full of games and a house full of people there's chipotle upstairs yeah the dogs are wandering around there's patio everybody's just hanging out yeah it's just a good day man what are prizes rose rain fantastic question i don't know our prizes there's i know there's trophies i know there's cash our oh as a concept yeah yeah uh i think there's probably trophy and money and maybe aren't there i went through raffles i won a long story short yep that was cool yep good old more tilt merch i want one of those outlaw pinball shirts i dig that man yeah man i'm not to make that happen well uh if you do get it you can use uh code laser10 for 10 off your entire purchase well that worked out well last night i said that to trent he had this really cool rush pinball t-shirt on and i said trent i i would love that's so cool i wish i had a rosh pinball t-shirt and he just goes here you go he had one oh nice and i was like oh yeah you're a distributor that works out great free outlaw hype oh man how do i get a hype train going you seem to be good at this how do you get a hype train going uh well it's all in the viewers you gotta do something wacky in return for things you know money for things like money you know subs um yeah how can we get a hype train i don't know i just seen you do it again people just do it friends if you if you have never cheered before highly recommend highly right when i go to lose's channel i just throw bits at him because it's fun to watch stuff happen man the gray triangle gang is uh a force to be reckoned with they are they are pretty great and you've got like the thing where it's like plinko where they bounce off of each other i don't know what honestly we haven't been asking for cheers so i don't know what happens when somebody cheers on here yeah i don't know how to look at alerts i don't know either yeah let's find out somebody throw a bit our way yeah test bit throw a test bit or you know a couple thousand whatever up to you up to you so what are the prizes there's gonna be cash there's gonna be trophies um the prizes get bigger every year because the more people join the tournament everything that is true and he's uh eric's trophies are always crazy they are okay see there we go nothing you got no alert what happens no alerts really that's right random yeah no alerts imagine having alerts oh man random thank you for those for those test test one two gray so we need to figure out how to get some alerts yeah well all right now i know what you're doing for the next 45 minutes whoa whoa whoa yep coral i want to learn some walking dead pinball okay to start off your skill shot goes through the star rollovers up into the top rollover after that you want to concentrate on the three bank drop targets this will light all your modes to start a mode just shoot that shot once in a mode for arena barn or riot just continue to hit those mode shots for big points if you're in tunnel you want to shoot all the other shots butt tunnel to score big points and stay in that mode for cdc you want to loop the left ramp do that enough to light other shots around the play field hit those to collect to build a value and then collect that value via the cdc ramp again to extend time and modes continue to hit the drop target banks down and you can stay in modes as long as you want each time you hit a drop target bank down you will collect one of three items once you collect all three items you will light bloodbath shoot the drop target bank down one more time to start bloodbath bloodbath can be combined with any other multiballs once you're in bloodbath you can add balls to play hitting down more banks to drop targets other multiballs well walker shoot this fat guy enough for wall walker multiball prison multiball shoot this prison enough for prison multiball for 2x playfield shoot these two standups here to light 2x playfield shoot through the ride shot to the back to the tower target to start 2x playfield also shooting around the playfield at all the zombie targets will increase your zombie kills doing so will light an in lane x once you have an inlane x lit you can switch it with the flippers going through an in lane x will multiply your next shot that multiplier raises depending on how many walkers you've killed up into that point ancillary modes bicycle girls the left ramp lit blue continue to hit that over and over for hurry ups crossbow is right ramp lit yellow that will light major shots around the playfield to collect crossbow shots doing well enough in modes and multiballs will collect weapons down below once you collect all six you'll light horde shoot through the woodbury shot to start the mini wizard mode finally players would like to stack bloodbath a mode and one of well walker or prison multiballs together for massive scoring points even adding 2x playfield and an in lane x shot to get massive collects that's walking dead oh that was interesting there we are hi everybody yeah can you guys hear everything all right thank you pinball in that was interesting but uh we got it figured out there we go thank you everybody it's more complicated technically than you'd think to switch to quarterfinals semis and finals because they're all different tournaments so anyway it gets a little complicated but uh you're watching wayne rouse lead us off for the a division quarterfinals so happy to have you with us welcome back i mean this is where things start getting really exciting oh nice nudge okay well let's watch this real quick [Music] welcome back this is where things start getting really excited see that nudge right back here nice that was brilliant it was that was going on managed to not only nudge it but to get it right back into play in the gun real quick question for you guys uh listening could you hear two audio two layers of audio while that replay was playing i think i fixed it but i'm not sure so if that replay was silent but i still remained live talking that would be good you can hear two layers kentucky and a pinball ah crap okay that's all right we'll keep working on it double audio bummer hey man working out the cakes always wayne's having a fine first ball he's getting set up everything i mean right now he's not sitting on a ton of points but he's setting up everything he wants got his mode started there you go there's five million boom five million more you can see this is one of those games where it it all comes down to strategy right because he knew what to set up he only had seven million going in and then two shots later he's got 20 mil thank you kentucky and pinball i really appreciate that encouragement sometimes the tech gets in our way but we try and get out of out of our way so wayne just did something fantastic right he's in mode he's getting five million a shot and then all of a sudden he uh starts a multiball so now he's getting his mode points and his multiball points that was a bummer there you hate to see that he's not pleased with it you can see it on his face but he did get him back it was just a bummer there's so much ball interaction right there over the center grain that's gonna happen i mean that's why multiball is such a challenge right it's not just three balls in play at once it's three balls in play that are all fighting each other for your attention and interacting with each other let's see if you can complete bicycle girl see that cdc ramp blinking like crazy up on the left he's going for it i don't know if the opto registered on that or not two weapons lit 2x blinking there's a chance for some big points nice orbit orbits blinking again the barn for number two he did read your mind bg oh nice backhand to that cdc shot uh-oh wayne is keeping his composure and this is a this is a i mean with everything on fire everything blinking everything lit he does a great job keeping his composure you know what tough drain but great ball for ball one of these a division quarterfinals how do you like that let's see this bonus come together look at these kills look at these kills 31 walkers killed for a seven million point bonus he automatically on ball one gets a knock that's gotta feel good that's gotta feel good oh bree's over here telling me that she had a couple of house balls to start off her b division starter bummer you're watching laser lows carlos de la sierra del zappo i have no idea what those words mean that you just said but they sound really strategic so uh please say more about that john d is kind of a strategy monster always glad to have you in the chat because you know stuff what i lack in fundamental understanding of these machines i make up for in pure endurance steen thank you oh i see yes that you could start modes inside of multiball gotcha i gotta say comp install did not get me there maybe that's on me ross bergentino up now i have played a ton against ross he is fierce he is a really subtle nudger it's fun to watch him play because he does a million little nudges to keep that ball exactly where he wants it oh competition installed thank you i don't know why i couldn't put that together ross is out of town but uh i get to play with him every once in a while his cousin joel i get to play with quite often he's local and also a fabulous player just a really how'd you know that was an adult soda kentucky welcome hollywood polo glad to have you isn't it fun like i feel like us streaming watchers and i watch streams constantly we have like our own little community right from all over the place should have locked first aid there for the bomb that's fair i'll tell you what i ask players all over the place all the time what's what is your favorite modern game and walking dead is mentioned more than any other modern stern when i ask competition players what they like to play i think it's because it is so deep there's so much you can do on this game the rules are very clever the modifiers the multipliers oh center drain for ross not uncommon with that shot when you hit those prison doors it just deadens the the ball and drops straight down the middle eric ortenberger stepping up now he has been looking for a walking dead forever it's one of those pins that he just absolutely had to have and when he got this one and it is it is a really fantastic machine when he got this one he was so real there is just so much to do on this machine eric is going to be really unhappy with that ball didn't get what he wanted straight off that right sling to the left out lane but we're still eric's bashing that well walker target trying to start that multiball while in mode it's a fine choice he's going to backhand it oh no he's going barn oh he didn't want to do that easy mistake to make so when the ball comes in and it hits this little knuckle right here or right here right where the flipper meets the lane guide it's not going to behave like it's just hitting a lane guide or hitting a flipper it's gonna act weird that's exactly what just happened to eric on that one it didn't behave like he expected it to and this is a game of anticipation you have to just sort of guess based on everything you know in your gut about how this ball will react what's going to happen next and when it hits that knuckle right there [Applause] or sean as you put it when it smokes the joint i'm assuming that means the joint between those anyway um that's when uh you have to be careful because it's not gonna do normal stuff it's gonna act weird we're back to wayne rouse who's off to a fantastic start he's already got 34 walkers killed there you go yeah we'll take a prison why not right out laying drain for wayne he still keeps stacking up these walkers which in the end just means bonus bonus bonus right you're getting 50 000 for each walker you've killed thus far that puts him at 110 million points which as you can see is quite a differential versus his competition as we wait on carlos you can see some of our b division competitors there as well some of our other a division competitors cherry westerkamp sam willy deborah bob quite the field today wayne is very happy with his current points he told me earlier he barely hit 30 million yeah if i were wayne i'd be pretty happy with it too his ball one was just fantastic i mean he did it strategically he pieced it apart this was not a chaos ball this was not luck he knew what he was doing and he got it done [Music] dz says let's see if he is going to go for tunnel oh you hear that warning he's on double danger i wonder if that's going to impact his strategy i love tunnel 2. nope he bounced right back out so again watch this this is normally a time when he would have nudged i love tunnel two nope he bounced right back out so again watch but you don't nudge that in double danger you don't it would have been a great time he had that multiplier that in lane multiplier could have done it but when you're in double danger it's not worth it hopefully muting there was helpful with the double audio problem hello deborah how about that what happened well i have laughed and i have cried today what about you i said i've done both at the same time oh the same oh wait no i did two a little bit a lot of the very fried at the very end of the crying i laughed a little oh you went the other way yeah that's that's when you've had insanity it's two very different things that's when you decide that you make your own uh way in this world and that crying doesn't have to define you oh okay that's when you start laughing about it oh okay so we've got a multiverse yeah ross is in multiball here is it just me or are you loud or is that just my own feedback uh i don't know man i might be too loud i was oh yeah am i too loud friends probably all right we're flashing 2x we've got a multiball going but where's our mode oh he's rough but now he's out of multiball jaymati says hello deborah hello mr monty there you go good good is he is he just bicycle girl right now uh or is that some cdc action too i don't know what modi he's not a bicycle girl i don't think oh oh gosh that's a bummer look at this watch this i don't know what he's not a bicycle girl i don't think oh oh my gosh that's a bummer look at this watch this i missed the replay by a second there but but he had ross had a perfect shot spot on with that cannon or crossbow yeah and then the game punished him for it does this come back it'll come back yeah eric's changing out a battery on that oh the battery yep so eric's going to play next but first he's going to change out a battery a tournament director's work is never done as i'm sure you know not if you're eric because you will make up work that you didn't even know you had he's he's diligent he is man i don't know how he does it because i thought it was hard to stream and play at the same time last night he is playing helping with the stream managing this entire house along with angie putting the food out yeah cleaning up taking he's td and he's fixing technical problems i mean he's ridiculous also i think he's like not just he's not just playing he's like winning yeah he's playing well like him and trent were tied for like the top seed yeah yeah that's disgusting there it is i want everybody to know oh also he's getting us a projector a white sheet and some other stuff yeah just some other things some other random things that look at our purple matching look at that drop catch awful pretty oh and he's providing his own commentary while playing oh yeah we don't even need to commentate eric he will commentate himself oh come on oh see watch this he shook it out wow we don't even need to commentate eric he will commentate himself oh come on oh see watch this that's some sorcerousness okay so we're back to wayne who blew up ball one i watched it in person it was crazy this is a modern stern so you're gonna have more balls saved than like all the other games we've been playing this is some color commentary for you see that beard right there the beard the beard oh beard that's a fine beard uh so i've noticed that the the bearded ones today have a pretty natural ability to like pull out clench balls and like just kick ass so i'm starting to think there's some sort of a either like a beard cult or a beard power up that's like a silent style yeah yeah well does it apply to a short beard like mine are only like santa and maybe if i just think long beard thoughts i'll have a long beard ball go for it think all along beard thoughts grizzly adams santa del zappo that's helpful i actually cut the live audio on purpose uh because i didn't want double audio and i don't know how to turn off the replay audio but we will figure that out because we're classy like that it's all that beard magic whoa okay playing at least a four ball he's got 2x flashing it's a good time to make up some killer points got that well walker multi going he's got his arena lit it's a good time to make some hay he's trying he's trying so hard to get up to that uh shot just to the left of prison didn't quite make it and that's gonna be a drain to the left whatever he had the stack man he had the multi he had the mode he had the 2x again that is a great time to make some hay let's see what this bonus does for him he's got almost 40 walkers so another 8 million on top of it give or take that's a lot for carlos to answer to 186 up against 3.8 [Music] but you never ever count carlos de la serta out of a first place finish riot bloodbath well walker and a 2x killer stack totally agreed four balls oh i thought there was five in a walking dead thank you very much pinball howard i thought you could add a ball at a ball thank you for that yeah oh we're watching we're watching lowe's i just realized i don't have enough alcohol [Music] i'll be back how can you play pinball no i'm good thank you i see bloodbath starts as two works its way up to four i thought we were talking about three and four then five thank you nice job lose extra ball now we're not playing extra balls so it awards 2.5 mil not a ton but nice to have that arena shot can be a little tricky uh but it is blinking like crazy let's see if we can get it he picked up the woodbury shot which is even more tricky oh my god look at that beautiful little tab that was if i didn't want to keep watching him i would have played a replay that was really pretty so bloodbath is sort of a frenzy style yeah so we're talking about how many switches can i get to oh uh oh a little delay on the playfield drop playfield signal let's see if comes back real quick eric is aware of the problem and tending to it in the meantime you can just hear him getting jackpots there you go [Music] another mode shot killer 5 million on those mode shots if only he had a 2x stacked [Music] look loss is showing up listen to him yeah yeah okay so he's got he's got four tunnels going yep he's got four balls so he was able to add plus he's got his 2x now that's a fair question yeah i don't know what the what the out of all shot is you guys know these guys are walking dead well so they'll tell us there's that 2x he's blowing it up he's trapped up two left this is the way to play this he's going to try and separate that cradle on the left maybe maybe there you go oh get that cdc shot get more fun flippy flips down there when people know they have like two or three balls to risk drop targets to add a ball thank you nice oh thank you thank you i kind of need that yeah i will take those straight to the doctor who bank do it [Music] so in bloodbath the drops are going to be your atta ball what about the other outballs what about another modes how do we get those what about in well walker how do we get out of all there huh oh all right so that's gonna be his that's gonna be the end of his multi still playing on 2x oh you don't you just don't do that okay here i don't have one of these at home so so my knowledge is pretty low blood bath is the only one with an added ball joe soap you said it i mean this is one of those games where if you stack stuff right man you can absolutely murder and sure enough Laser Los shows up to do just that he brought a crossbow [Music] so we're only adding balls if we're stacked with bloodbath very cool the answer to this whole game is drop targets right that's how we're starting modes that's how we're collecting things that's how we're doing uh atta balls those drop targets are really crucial and you'll see most of these tournament players will start out while they have their uh ball save they're gonna start out looking for those drop targets but they're a dangerous shot so you can't just rely on them all day i tend to play on very ball stage as well that's going to finish that ball for ross bergentino he tried to save it he got his uh his warning but couldn't save it eric workberger not looking great going into ball three but again this is one of those games you can start out with eight you can finish with 500 if you have the right ball completely agree dgb you can't be mad with your performance if you're wayne i mean second place at 186 is a first place almost everywhere else right it's just low showed up with a killer ball three and the competition set up deezy you're right it means you can't just live on those drop targets during multiball now that i know what your comp install means oh no you've got an idiot oh no watch this now that i know what your comp install means oh no oh no watch this that is so common it's a really common mistake to make that ball was coming in he flipped it right it just tried to gently catch it instead he flipped it right over the right out lane with the flipper that's one of those pinball errors we all make but it makes us so frustrated because at that point the ball was yours and you flipped it over there you go low slows walks away with a victory on that one we're moving over to stars you guys want to know how to play stars i sure do well i know a bit but here's some more all right everybody let's learn some stern stars at the start of the game you will have one random star completed for you as you can see here the pink star is completed for us bam collect all four other stars to juice the right spinner for a thousand a spin crush through the spinner here for a thousand a rip also after collecting all five stars you will light a red special light next to one of the star targets that will be changed by either advancing bonus by hitting the targets or the rollovers or ripping the spinach if you happen to hit that special it is worth a hundred thousand points huge you can collect as many as those as you want per ball also you can hit the center drop targets on either side of the play field to juice the left spinner for a thousand a rip straight through here big points you can also hit down all the drop targets once you hit down three of the drop targets you will get double bonus once you hit down all six drop targets you will get triple bonus if you continue to hit down all six drop targets you will then get extra ball after that you will then light special for a hundred thousand points just like getting specials via the star targets you can advance your base bonus by hitting the rollovers in the middle and top of the playfield or the lit in lane out lane rollovers that's stern stars it sure is we're moving over to stars right now here we go i love early stearns i love them and stars is a great example big game versus stars big game all day i love the bingo cards on big game i do i'm gonna sell carlos you said that yep i love big game i mean you got the similar layout right with the drop targets and then the spinner up left but then everything changes with the bingo targets the drops on the side i love star is a great game but for me i go big game all right let's refresh this readout here we're gonna get the right people in here there's something really really pleasing about stars and i think i like it i still want to like it the best but big game is the game i like to play the best yeah i love big game there's i i don't know why but there's something about playing that game the double flippers on each side the big ol rip up the left side feels so good this stars is on five ball thanks for asking dgb so that special is lit by hitting all six targets down no no no but getting all the stars isn't that what the eric said well i think it's by getting all the drop trackers down three times but i may be wrong with that that was the extra ball and the double bonus and stuff definitely double triple bonus yeah the double bonus was getting all the stars light your spinner i need to watch his tutorials closer but yeah so here's your spinner right here and you're collecting stars to build value kind of like on meteor right i think he was saying once you hit all the stars then you've got that roving red light and the spinning roving special yeah and the roving special is worth 100 ko that's a lot that's bones and stars you want every single one of those points um okay so and hitting one three bank down was double bonus double bonus and then all of them down was triple bonds right away yeah yeah one one bank is double bonus two is triple and then doing it all again is extra ball you ready all right i'm gonna hand it over to elizabeth because i've been missing her at this commentator booth i can also walk away yo yo yo dude commenting with you last night was so much fun i'm glad that we have a round two here bicycle glove hype okay oh yeah we can hit harder because because we have the padding for it okay so we're watching stars you know all about that oh all of the stars we love stars how many 100k specials have you collected today i mean at least one that's a lot that's a good that's a good amount oh we have a lover of the commentating last night hey [Music] no he tried to use the post to pass it over because he had enough speed on it yeah it's one of those things that you can do that is one of those things that you can do yes i couldn't agree more but i will tell you this why would he do that on his own game when he knows damn well it sometimes doesn't work well i mean no that's the thing you think it does work oh you just feel so confident oh that's good okay well yeah that's he knows this game so he knew that carlos was going to get she can't dress like i don't need to try harder okay i'm going to try to go play doctor i'll be right back oh no i'm going to be forever alone okay bye okay the spinner is way later than you think is going to be just like every other stars the godzilla in here is also really late no it's gone okay it is a little tricky trying to get bonus or i mean the double bonus when you don't have any bonus built up so i like to go for the stars first until some bonus is there oh that bad huh 30 seconds uh i'll be back for 30 seconds because i gotta go play big game but uh there was no ball save for my insta drain on doctor who yeah so but i got some points on ball too so at least i got second he did try to kirk pass i think it i guess we can ask eric later he'll deny it deny everything deniable possibility oh it was for his shots he was trying to shots oh that makes more sense to me it was a late chat can we start saying that when people forget to flip oh they there's a successful chat i mean you don't you're not going to make the same mistake try it i laid shots done diamond ladies so many times look at that he's almost got ten dollars okay so apparently he wants shots redemption total chat redemption alley pass redemption that's safe i love the geometry how it bounces it is good and like you know sometimes that side to side action is like terrifying but this game has this you know you can see it if it's good or bad yeah yeah you can see it coming like the matrix just so i was about to say like sometimes i'm so chill and calm when it's back forth back and forth because i just know it's coming back eventually oh look at that three stars he's going for 100k i would have been tempted to ski past it but he is having so much bonus right now he really needs oh one more drop for triple subtle come on dead bounce on the ski okay oh that's fine that's fine this is all fine these are all fine spam hit that last target yeah yeah there it is that's fine that's fine it's fine i'm like drop drop drop jump drop drop you had the right instinct on that one it was party time all drop oh gosh i gotta see if i'm on can you give me a hulk give me a signal if they're still on godzilla another shot chasing weren't they done okay it looks like i have to go sorry guys because there's another group still in my game killer ross i like to call him bully ross because he's buddies with that bully chad guy oh as you can hear him smacking the game he comes by his nicknames honestly going for an unlit spinner but it's still points and we'll take it back she's coming in hot guys she's coming hot we have to wait for our next game yeah i'm gonna be on joker poker oh nice that could be good yeah yeah it could be good it could be all the things okay oops [Music] i made a little dot were you about to say if so facto because that would have been cooler i've never heard of that in my entire life oh it's gone oh look at that sad face sad face you played stars how many times today at least once and it wasn't in a tournament i was just having fun were you like bully with it did you give it hard snacks yeah i was a bully i was bullied i found that if you didn't you really just didn't get to play at all it has a certain expectation certain games just like to be smacked just smacked around somebody bad girls bad girls i don't know they just want to be left alone they just want to play pool do you i hope you're gonna have bad girls on the stream just because it sounds so cool we're just gonna the rig mike just pop it up pop it playing with the food so much food so yeah you know i i got too cute with mine no we're not going to talk about that we're going to talk about stars which just ended no eric okay okay here party time all right i'm ready for it when eric is here okay so he's sitting at second so he already he's bad stuff because he's sitting at second yeah no because it's his game and he's sitting that second and he shats it a couple times let's face it he cares about big deal he's all powerful he thinks he thinks okay that was decent yeah i'm gonna do more chatsing that was unnecessary oh that's tilted that's so good yeah well you know if you're not tilting you're not trying i love that when the ball like takes a while to drain like it bounces off the post back on the flip and you're like wow i try so hard keeping the ball in play and yet no one's playing the balls yeah just fine the ball's like yeah we're good you didn't need to do that at all you overdid it if only center post saves gave points i missed that earlier okay oh carlos's is this five ball it's a five ball game wait is this five or three this is a five dollar this is a fall they're all fibers fiber that's what the british call their five wood i have managed to not lose my five dollar bill yet today that's exciting it's the one i gave to i tried to bet it away a couple times but no one would give me more money you know actually i had to borrow that five that so i borrowed a five from you and then i had to borrow a five from rc so i didn't have to owe you anything but now i owe five dollars to rc i'm glad that i'm more intimidating than rc i just feel like there's a greater likelihood of me remembering a five dollar bill in louisville at some point [Music] of course i did have five dollars in quarters i was going to be able to give to you that is what i wanted you wanted to carry five dollars in quarters around with you all day i'm not always already doing it gosh you see this is oh my gosh carlos who's trying to show eric what a show-off that's not even lit he bought that he he punched his ticket for that outlane drain it it wasn't even lit like you only get bonus advances if it's lit no he just like he was playing the odds six and a half guys oh now oh my best friend all right have fun okay now now i'm here by myself time to like actually watch pinball i'm sorry guys i'm i'm gonna be good now sorry i'm fourth on diamond lady so i'm gonna sit here for a sec and they're just gonna call call me out eric if you drain my balls i swear to god i don't know what to do okay start stars is fun you know i still rather meteor they're so similar in a lot of ways and i think meteor takes the cake just a little bit um in terms of exciting center spinner action [Music] yeah i enjoyed it too that's all i've been doing this weekend anytime there's a downtime i'm just like let me just play shots on stars you see i was sitting there trying to tap pass see if that worked but uh well yeah it's a transfer it's not there the whole the whole point is to get the in-lanes all right that's true yeah yeah okay well eric is talking to a tournament director slack channel because he's a nerd and he also wants to do it right so respect so what does he think is going to happen ball's going to drain [Music] i guess gonna happen i mean look what's happening right now anything and everything that's what to my return my great return to fall guy streaming yeah yeah this is this is like uh hexagons it's starzagans and uh you just gotta not bozo they're more concerned that the ball is gonna drain i think so where is the ball stuck it's uh on top of it oh it is right there all right y'all it's right here there's the ball so i'm not really sure no it jumped off of like that and rolled in this way oh we got the ross cam honestly that should be worth like 50 000 points it's just so impressive [Music] i mean could you do that i don't know what has he tried the slack channel ruling was it's directly above the outline basically you can draw a straight line down there so okay oh is drano it's a drain oh well i disagree with that because it's right over the out lane it's a drain that was the calling weird yeah i think it's like a wedge well oh i see it's gonna drain yeah he couldn't save the ball if he traveled oh that's just a drain no combo so what did you guys think you should do get up get a combo i mean ross is right there being good at things sure is that guy i'm sorry no i'm not trying to swear i'm just repeating what ross said yeah russ ross is heated yup so wayne has the magic power today he's just been blowing up all the things should have held the ball in the flipper but he couldn't even get the glass off i don't know what happened i missed it they just so the ball was on top of this plastic and we pulled the glass off it just rolled and strained and there's no combo for it why not i don't know ruling consultation that he received via a forum or direct message eric's like don't worry it's not going to affect you none can we ban uh kb slasher please let's get into us for that oh [Music] be bold with your choices here okay i'm all by myself i feel naked and afraid maybe they're afraid um it's not here it's gone oh my good friend she found it um so carlos ended his ball early so he could come back and talk with us some more after he clears his hands of the sweat oh no he's opted he's opted to stay away hello i like how the second that i left our stream jumped to 74 viewers from like 60. i should tell you something it should tell me something and that something is justin get off the stream it's because your voice is really loud i know i just turned me down i think i'm too loud everyone else is just a soft talker and you not me i project i spent too many years in broadcast did you see all the things that happened while you were gone yeah a bunch of stuff happened you're still too loud that's impressive here i'll turn i'll turn me down there we go you're good a little better yeah so i was watching so this is what i do is i walk away from the stream and then watch the stream on my phone while i'm over there but um but yeah a bunch of stuff happened since you're here and the stream is secure and has someone to talk on it i'm gonna go check to see if my ball's up i'll be right here wayne rouse with a great nudge oh back in off the left out lane but then lost it to the right what a bummer i mean this is ball five this is for all the marbles and by the way stars has the weirdest possible back glass layout i don't know if they already talked about this because i was away from the stream for a moment but player one lower left player two right in the middle player three up top and for reasons nobody understands player four is over here why not [Music] so eric's gonna try and build on his lead here and you guys will have to fill me in on ross because i was away just long enough to miss whatever happened to ross you guys have to fill me in nice off that center post watch this and you guys have to fill me in on ross because i was away just long enough to miss whatever happened to ross you guys have to fill me in nice off that center pose how do you like that those moments are so great oh nice little shots there he wasn't gonna go for three [Music] [Laughter] stars is crazy-making no doubt about it stars will mess with you so that was rough on lows right there but he still put up an impressive 93 even with a bad ball five interesting interesting we have the right players but the wrong order but the wrong game no just just not refreshed so we'll take care of that but i was looking i was like isn't ross player three but no isn't ross a greek god uh he might be a greek is he a greek god doesn't matter sure did you see the move that he just landed no that was on camera no no that was the thing i missed he did he's kind of doing it like over and over again he's like no he's gonna do it again right quick did you see how his body just kind of popped he's like pop blocking it oh look at that he knows what he needs he's got his subtle nudges in that was a little uncontrolled there we go no oh yeah yeah yeah uncontrolled uncontrolled uncontrolled drain yeah well that does it for stars good game uh but that one is gonna go to our player two eric wortenberger i don't feel good about that one he loves stars i mean he plays this one constantly this is a good game for eric he did eric this is a game that ross may never play in this house to hold again wait just uh just you know uh yeah yep yep all right we're going to jungle queen all right let's go to a tutorial on jungle queen you want to know how to play jungle queen boy do i have answers for you kali why not why it's coming through rig's coming through let's go on a safari and kill some monkeys with jungle queen all right to start you're going to plunge to the a b and c lanes up top those are right here you're going to want to plunge the b lane it's very important to get this b lane off the plunge because there's nowhere else in the play field to collect the b you can get the a and the c down below here on the inlanes but the b you can only collect by the top lane that is important because if you get a b and c you will like double bonus right here okay to advance your bonus you can hit the top three rollover lanes the bottom two inlanes and any other drop targets here on the left and the right you can collect up to 15 000 in bonus with double bonus for a max bonus of 30 000 points also if you complete either bank of drop targets you will light the lane behind the drop targets right here for 5 000 points for the rest of the ball lots of times if you shoot the ball up here it will rattle around and come right back down so you can get a lot of five to ten thousand point collects on those side shots also two saucers up at the top these are worth five thousand points at all times lots of players like to hit into these saucers to safely get a feed back to the flipper and rinse and repeat finally if you knock down all 10 of the drop targets extra ball will light at the top saucer on one side and the out lane on the same side switches will switch the extra ball lights from one side of the playfield to the other finally on ball five you will have double bonus to start so don't worry about hitting that b lane it'll only advance your bonus just worry about getting those monkeys on ball five that's jungle queen it certainly is and you're watching wayne rouse start out here on jungle queen first drain 500 points not at all what wayne wanted from that ball of course and geekgamer totally welcome that uh that feedback um you know every td has to make choices in the moment sometimes those choices are things that are you know that i see as the correct choice sometimes they're incorrect we all have our opinions on it very welcome and worth talking about because we want to have really good tv across the board sometimes these are judgment calls and uh i've certainly had tds that have made judgment calls i didn't like mostly i'm just grateful that they're willing to do this thankless job but uh but it can be frustrating so um i totally get it and really welcome that conversation here i think it's worth debating because it makes us all better competitive pinball players to talk about how to handle these weird special situations not a great start for anybody so far here on jungle queen [Music] of course with easy m for playing five ball games so there's a lot left to go what i i completely agree with you dgb uh over time i have had some rulings i agreed with those i haven't some i thought were just bad some i thought were fabulous and over time i think it kind of all evens out in the wash i just try and play my best game of pinball and then move on when i'm frustrated but those tds are doing something that i i find very difficult which is making hard judgment calls whether i like them or not at the same time this is why we should debate this because we want to sharpen our skills and and end up having really really great fair pinball he finishes that b lane up top that's really going to help i love when you can get that v-lane off the pop bumpers oh would help unfortunately couldn't get back to the anc nice way to handle that nudge to pick up that bee and then he unfortunately tilts and drains that tilt's not going to cost him anything but uh certainly a bubbler i agree that we tend to remember the bad ones or the ones we think are bad maybe they were but uh tds are trying their best and um some of these calls can be absolute judgment calls right now it's everybody's game and nobody's game yeah ross has been getting uh some some tough well i guess rulings and breaks okay yep not at all what eric wanted there how about that i mean just straight up to the post and straight down that's a total bummer we saw this shot he was going i assumed for this saucer here instead let's see if lowe's can do a little better technically he's in the lead but 14 000 points does not a big lead make on jungle queen he's really hoping to get the b lane on the plunge because you can pick up anc on the inlanes but you're not getting b that way uh oh his flipper flutter is a timing trick and uh in this case not what he wanted eric drained so hard he broke the camera 47 i agree with you i when i play this game i do not go for those upper saucers i know they're worth 5000 every time i know some people like to do it every time because they're thinking hey what a great feed right kicks out of the saucer right back down to a flipper but just note that these are curved blades here these are curved channels and those channels are built to go whoop and whoop respectively i didn't draw that very well because they look like they're going to the flipper but you get the idea if it curves around there it's built to go straight down the middle these designers were no dummies and as i said earlier in the stream every pinball machine is built to drain you oh another nudge and tilt for ross honestly he may have been able to keep that in lane if he hadn't nudged he was getting pretty aggressive with it he may be frustrated he certainly has every right to be i don't know it may have stayed in lane it may not but he knew he didn't have a lot to risk by nudging out [Music] so let's hope eric uh for his own sake can come up here and put some points up because he's well behind one and three right now wayne and carlos are pushing 25 28. i think he's getting frustrated too and i don't blame him [Music] pinball is like most things a mental game nice he gets picks up that b there would be wonderful for him if he could light a anc we'll see if he can do it that can happen on the inland so you don't need to go up top he tilts and drains as well i mean everybody's hurting on this game jungle queen is not treating anybody well today even with his flipping he was maybe trying to shake the playfield just a little bit just enough to get it to kind of calm down in the in lane didn't quite work out wayne with a great plunge straight to that beat he didn't even have to nudge into it [Music] we haven't seen as much playing of the drop targets on this game as i would expect i mean people who seem to be going for the lanes and going back up top to the bumpers and saucers again not how i play it but i'm also not in the a division champion or the uh a division quarterfinals rather so what do i know um oh he tried he did the right thing he tried to flame it didn't quite go hopefully wayne is happy with his score thus far 41 000 going into ball four let's see if ross can pick up a little steam here ross is a great person a great player really fun to compete with nice little gentle tap there good reactions on the fly he saw that rainbow come and just double flick their left flipper i can't tell if he's at 13 or 18 we'll see that was 13. now 14. so he is playing the drops very nice he's building that bonus up to 7 000. looking good there you go we'll pick up the signal here in a second there you go now he does have and this is worth noting on this game because it's a big deal he does have this 5000 lit because he cleared that bank so it's gonna hit there and if you can hit it up that bank it'll go up and back down for ten thousand so he's going to spend a lot of time looking at that option let's see if you can get it nope just out if he clears that other bank he'll have a lid on the other side too there you go oh i thought he had that one i spoke too soon i almost said there you go he did not but hey good ball for ross good recovery there he's at 35 to wayne's 41 almost 42. let's see what eric can do about it he gets the c but not the b ross is absolutely back in it i would never write him out he's absolutely back in it yeah as much as eric is instructing the ball the ball does not seem to be listening so lose is going to take his try hello all 70 of you so pleased to be with you here at the nky open northern kentucky open 2022 i'm justin masterson and i get the privilege of doing this every year that they let me and i'm joined at times by all kinds of other great folks three reynolds and deborah tallman elizabeth and others who and carlos de la cerda when he's not playing to help uh shepherd this experience of watching killer competitive pinball from the commonwealth of kentucky shout out to outlaw pinball there it is all right loss is racking it up oh i spoke just barely too soon he took a good flip that was kind of odd he took a good flip and i don't know why but uh it just didn't quite connect and we saw it drain off the right side he might have gone slightly too early there [Music] so wayne's going for those drops on the left again if you clear a bank you start to get 5 000 each time you roll over those those weird side lanes plus let's not forget ball five double bonus so he's gonna do everything he can to build up that bonus which one way to do that is by hitting a bunch of drop targets this is a great time to go hunt and drop targets or hunt monkeys as eric put it because there's little monkey designs all over these drop targets you got it oh okay i think wayne's gonna be pretty happy with that bonus it puts him up to 64. it's still very catchable but he created a little bit of a window ross had a good ball on ball four he's got double bonus on this one let's see if he can take advantage remember that both of those inlanes and the drop targets add bonus so he's going to be looking for as much of that as he can get there you go a little sweet oh he just got one there there's two he's up to 4 000 bonus right now and he's gonna tilt that bonus which is ultimately not helpful i'm certain ross is quite frustrated i certainly would be at this point as we're waiting remember uh that the nky open is sponsored by cincinnati which is happening the first weekend in december right here in the birthplace of pinball cincinnati ohio where in 1871. an english immigrant named montague redgrave improved on a game called bagatelle introduced the tilted board the plunger the pins the gates and we had pinball we celebrated every year in the form of this thing called cincinnati because we love this hobby there's eric picking up the feed right around that saucer building that double bonus currently at three which will be six with double easy 5000 there okay oh no oh no man so that's going to leave eric in at least third place no definitely third place the question is just is carlos going to be able to catch up to wayne rouse there you go good save [Music] uh oh yeah yep that's all right so carlos ends up staying in second place on this one wayne is going to get first and uh eric in third ross in fourth four two one zero are the points awarded here so wayne's gonna pick up four eric two carlos one and ross zero and this scoring is a little different than what we saw in the qualifying rounds right so that zero can be a real kick in the teeth uh when you're trying to advance advance advance through the finals but it is as it is so that's going to be it for jungle queen uh and for our a group that we've been following we've been following our a leaders now shortly we're gonna move over to the b division and look at uh the rb leaders and see what bank they're following so we can follow our b division leaders as well and then when we get to our third and final we're going to move to our eight engine back for our finals so so stay tuned we have a lot of great pinball uh coming and just so you know let's take a look at our quarterfinals so you just saw jungle queen here so that's gonna report here in a minute with wayne as our winner if you see on group two they're all the way through their three games and diane came out ahead on group two matt gosling right behind oh sorry trent augustine right behind forgive me group four they're all done you've got colin out front and frank and eric are vying for number two we'll see if they do a playoff or what on that one and then uh because joker poker was in use group three skipped over to diamond lady and are currently working on their game of joker poker for the b division let's take a look at their quarterfinals up here in group one not quite finished grand prix was in use so they skipped ahead to big house and you can see right now sam mcconnell's leading with aaron miller behind but uh still wrapping up that third game in group two you've got willie allen out front and deborah and jerry duking it out for second place in group two in group three all finished with nathan brandt out front and beau pendleton right behind and group four still working on godzilla i can hear it back there so we're gonna see where they go so wayne and carlos are moving on to the next round [Applause] oh there's a bunch of hoot and holler in the background we're gonna figure out what that's all about yeah group four is pretty tough [Music] and eric is just waiting for his opportunity to move our camera over so that we can uh watch another game but you've seen the banks you've seen the standings after all of our a division stuff is done we'll go to b but we still have two eight division games playing so the next round's going to come up in 10 minutes almost done okay a is almost done so we're going to wait on that yep yep we'll put the banks up here in just a minute before the next round uh eric hopefully will be joining me in the booth once he gets all the banks worked out but in the meantime hey we care about what you care about you say you haven't seen big house tutorial i'm going to share with you the big house tutorial i'm so down here you go i'll never get out of here shut up and quit digging let's get weird with some big house pinball all right off the plunge you're gonna notice the top middle lane is flashing that's worth a hundred thousand points times your current multiplier your multiplier is determined by the wall down here below if you break down the wall the multiplier will increase up to 15 x you can do that the quickest by hitting this dangerous wrecking ball in the middle of the play field also by hitting pop bumpers and targets up top and targets on the side here that will also work you through completing knocking down the wall and increasing your multipliers also if you spell jailbreak via the targets here and alongside the wrecking ball you will light special at the top middle lane which is worth 500 000 points also the yellow targets scattered around the play field for cell block there are four of those if you knock all of those down you will light one of the extra ball lanes up top in the top middle lanes go down the lit one that's worth 500 000 points multiball is the main point of the game always be a multiball lock one is over here to the left then you can either start a two ball multiball by hitting in the little escape shot here or you can hit it up here for lock two and then once again when the ramp comes down start multi three ball multiball by hitting the ramp again once you're in multiball there are no changes to the rules just wail away at the wrecking ball and try and get your walls down as much as possible to increase your multipliers once a ball is locked here on the left you can shoot the lock again and it will feed the ball up to the top lanes to get more collects on the center lane which again is multiplied by your multiplier down below these drop targets on the left once you hit one down these awards will start flashing on a timed interval if you hit them all down while the first one is still flashing you will get a hundred thousand points times your multiplier or if you take too long you could get light special or multiplier times ten thousand finally on ball three if you have one or two balls locked last chance will light up one of the outlanes if you roll down one of these outlanes it will release one of your locked balls to save them the multipliers in the middle of the play field not only multiply different features of the game like the top lane or one of your drop target awards it will multiply your end-to-ball bonus so make sure that you are always increasing your multipliers that is big house [Music] quarter so let's see who moved on here we got lois moving on and wayne i can't believe came down to just beating wayne on jumping i'm like yeah this is going to be totally fine yeah outlane city real bad classic uh so group two is done so diane and trent all right so trent's uh top seed remaining yep yeah the highest left chad cruz well chad and joe cruz yep uh so chad will be running a group again and then i guess it depends on how they last yeah chad for sure breaker here um colin and eric and or frank and eric had a tiebreaker and frank won oh yeah okay so frank smith was thrilled yeah all right okay two former champs are out free and then bill's already out so we're gonna have a new winner yeah we're having a new winner this year what up what up thanks taylor does everybody know if joker poker is almost done neil i can't stop saying bozo so thank you so much i think these are still open oh here we go [Music] and jerry are playing a tiebreaker to move on from b to this oh i think and i think deborah just played football or her game yeah yeah which is a single-player game so that one's almost done and then a division what was that music i was turning on the uh see how it makes us echo they don't hear an echo i don't think yeah that's one way we can hear the background music what music is this it's just like free it just lives i think it's like 20 seconds long nice and it just sounds like some tna yeah all right so tie breaker and then a oh a is completely done now okay quarterfinals of a are complete nice semifinals are going to begin we are down to the final eight let's see if this does result in me what annual is this four five three seven four five three six sorry people it's gonna take one second how many what wait how many times does this tournament happen how many years oh oh this is the fifth one yeah yep yeah yeah and it's uh the stream presentation is still a work in progress so any kind of bumps hiccups uh are just this is the test round for cincinnati cincinnati it'll be even better and there's they still got stuff in the works i don't know what all justin has said but he's told me some of his ideas and some of the things he wants his vision so yeah it's going to be pretty

flipper on the uh eric's godzilla is like considerably weaker than the right one the right one zooms it right it zooms like that left ramp's free the right ramp is sketchy like it makes it but it's super late and it's weird then it's like you get that i had the l when to have ram and it's terrifying so i don't know maybe [Music] get godzilla multiball ready and then just start titanosaurus and then stack them and then do the wind swoops and all of a sudden boom 300 mil that happens already change cities i don't i don't we'll cross those paths when we get there listen to what he's saying but not what i'm saying i am going to switch it to ski yeah i wouldn't be surprised okay oh he's doing a round yeah yeah yeah for those gifteds wait hold on there's a celebration thank you it's a celebration cheers to all of you to you at home watching and supporting cheers guys you gotta go around the mic that's a hot tip okay all right y'all i am all yours because i lost but it's a win-win you know you lose you get to watch pinball you win you get to play pinball i like both equally i mean i like to play better but i still get to play i mean all the games are on free play this is wonderful yesterday i was asked if i liked bourbon so to prove my enjoyment of such i had to wear my bourbon t-shirt so i get to be laser lows now yeah and i'm pin windy that's pretty sweet man i'll take it i've been called worse than that for sure oh we need the elvis tutorial okay all right well we'll do that first and we'll come back to this all right do i got this oh you got this oh got me all shook up let's learn some elvis pinball all right to plunge you can go up to the top lane first kill shot or you can get a more valuable skill shot here by hitting the roving elvis target which will light the right orbit for gifts of elvis if you do not get that on the skill shot you have to hit down all drop targets to get gifts there are some valuable modes in here including video mode king of rock and roll extra ball so get these down and hit the right orbit for gifts of elvis mode these are affected by the tcb 2x playfield multipliers which we'll get to in a minute next you got all shook up shoot the left orbit the left ramp the right ramp to start all shook up continue to shoot the left orbit left ramp right ramp during all shook up for increasing amounts of points multiballs shoot the saucer for jailhouse rock multiball when you're in multiball guess what keep hitting the saucer for jackpots you can hit all the white shots around the play field to work towards super jackpot and guess what when you like that hit the saucer for super jackpot next up heartbreak hotel go up to the upper flipper via the left ramp shoot the hotel the hotel will open shoot up again shoot into the hotel to start multiball guess what when you're in multiball continue to shoot into the hotel for jackpots 2x playfield scoring on the tcb targets right the middle there white hit all three to start 2x playfield continue to hit them to increase the timer and 2x playfield the king targets in the middle if you complete those that will light the scarf target right here that will give you your atta ball during multiballs also shooting the inner loop from the upper flipper will start blue suede shoes it's not worth that much don't worry about it hound dog mode is started by this target it's a frenzy mode good to combine with multi balls dangerous but worthwhile if you can get there ultimately players will try and start all shook up first then a multiball and 2x scoring for massive scoring opportunities elvis has left the building well now that's just fun honestly i'm gonna have to rewatch that that was a lot of information that was a lot of information yeah really fast but uh but this means we get to go to elvis let's see if he's moved over there yet no it looks like they're still wrapping up on their other game so so uh we will come back to that because diane is i believe not in this group but let's see oh is she not is she in this group let's see i know she's in she moved on oh so she's in the elvis group all right well let's go to all games some reason i thought they had moved it yet but this is great oh all right she said what we were all thinking okay i don't know how much diane knows about the game so we might see a lot of errand flippers flipping i mean i mean elvis is not a common game on location you're not going to see it out a lot of places so most folks are at this tournament so far have not been familiar with the play no i i have never played before but i did understand how to start the jail break multiball is that what's called yep yep yep is it jailbreak is that right no that's the other one the multiball on this is it yeah yeah let me see but we'll see oh there you go there's a lot yeah yeah so unfortunately that lock shot is only um locked if you shoot it directly it doesn't count if you go through if you roll in the back okay but oh thank you thank you for the reminder this is not wayne rouse playing in case you were wondering and then refresh how about this no still wrong semi-finals and we need to go to the bees there we go elvis gotcha thank you eric that was diane that was not wayne rouse hey eric we'll see if we can adjust it can you can you adjust the score cam for us i want to make sure we can see that score she rightfully earned colin faust up next we're following our b division semis right now oh what a little dig that was check this out all right looks like we're going to start heart hotel oh what a little dig that was check this out okay so we're in heartbreak mattel all we want to do is get it back up the ramp and then shoot it back into the hotel but you can really do a lot during this multiball um towards your elvis letters right yeah i mean this is like the first thing that uh eric does when he i know when he gets into this kind of multiple is he goes over toward elvis right because this is a tough multiball to play like correctly you know it's already hard enough getting into the hotel you're better off just going for the drops on the far left and you can't get those uh what are they called pcb multipliers the 2x that's right yep the stand ups that really helps if you can get it you also have the hound dog target over here which can you can stack on top of your 2x and on top of your multiball man that hound-dog target though if you hit it too directly it's a killer oh it is yeah so good nice hey nice yeah we have qualified gift from elvis so a shot up the right orbit now gift from the elvis always reminds me of the lord of the rings gift from the elves right it's the same shot too like well it's the left orbit that's great gift from the elves and this is like gift from the elvis i wonder which one came first oh sorry a division semis thank you okay let's fall safe it's fine i said b division errantly earlier eight division semis yeah so very proud of diane getting through on game of thrones she doesn't know game of thrones at all and she was able to get just short of 100 to win amazing i know amazing i remember she came out and said i can't believe i just won a game of thrones she uh yeah she took a picture of it to commemorate i think she beat out trent for that one and that's one of his best games short but trent made it through so all's fair okay nice he's really got that right ramp dialed in all right you're unable to postpass on this game so yes have you seen anyone postpass you know i haven't been looking for that's a fair question yeah the look the distance between the flipper and the sling is just too far yeah it seems like i mean even just looking at the geometry of it it seems like it'd be difficult every once in a while you'll see it in a situation like that you see somebody let it roll a tiny bit down the flipper and then post past it but it's that's a gamble all right here we go backhand to the lock shot no he's going for that ramp okay okay there you go oh i'll check out yeah for sure this will be even now get that hotel get that hotel with some multiball there's that hound dog yep safe there's no rubbers on the out lane so it's it's really it's dangerous being anywhere near that it sure is yeah and hopefully we'll see our players like as as they're getting used to each of these machines throughout the course of the day i've noticed that they've been more likely to sort of nudge out of the outlanes instead of trusting that gamble so hopefully we'll see more of that okay decides to flip away at the feed it's actually a very safe feed if you let it dead bounce oh dead bounce over to the left and then back to the right well that's a great tip yeah pretty consistently but you can live catch too i mean a little bit of a drink though pretty well set up for ball two yeah he has one ball locked for that jail whatever and i don't know if the hotel stays open but he was able to hit the hotel once is it jailhouse rock mode is that what it's called this one over here oh shout out to the chat love the old forester shirt thank you i got it for free from wreck bar oh nice yeah did you win at the tournament i don't remember okay but most that means it was a good night at wreck bar honestly almost everything i own is like yep i want it in a pinball tournament i swear we did not coordinate hats today and we are not sponsored by tilt right now it just so happens we both like the hat yeah it's pretty bright here without the hat yeah yeah the lights are right there yeah all right backhand there it is oh that was the shot though okay safe again okay that's a good that's a safe backhand to the ramp nice okay i like the idea of trying to ski pass it over so he gets down the right it's the little things right there's that nuance that he's doing here that's just a level above most players okay yep that's that that's that hound dog to drain yeah i mean again it's so tempting right because you want to do hound dog 2x plus a plus a mode but yeah so he's not excited he'll there's some meat on the bone all right let's see what diane can do big fan of diane we don't see each other often but when we do i mean i feel like the most important person in the world oh that's such a huge compliment you know yeah she gets so excited about everybody really but i remember i went to wizards world up in indiana and it was very bright that day when you walk in it's very dark so i couldn't see anything because my eyes didn't adjust but she was right there when i opened the door she was right there i'm like all i could see was a silhouette but the arms were out and i saw like a beaming face all i could remember was this beaming face i didn't recognize her at first and she gave me a hug and that's so cool yeah okay there are just folks in the world who make you feel special you know yeah that's true that's exactly it yeah oh look at that she's beating up those king targets oh yeah hey you know that was that was a tough save coming down the the the center um you just had a flip at that so yep yeah i mean she she all of a sudden got this great ricochet off the king targets and it would just look like it was going to drain so she managed to save it but a lot of times those sort of flail saves end up being a drain anyway because it's really hard to control what happens next there you go speaking of which is some more dead bounces i know you're right we're seeing a surprising lack of them they are really underutilized on the whole because they feel weird to not do anything but man they they're one of the most effective ways to slow down a pinball tough train there yeah common dream big center drain on this one again it's sort of like the bell in ac dc if you're playing the middle you've got to be ready for that straight down the middle drain because yeah it's its job is to deaden up there and then drop and all these machines have rubber feet so you can't really slide the game much um you have to really try to move the game that's which is why i have uh gloves the gloves to help me out there well because of the rubber feet they have that sticking power so if you try to move the game too much you're gonna tilt right so you have to be really careful it really is truly nudging there's not a lot of shoving that's happening they're not going to do a slide save which is my favorite movement oh they're the best they're the absolute best yeah i kind of take my foot and i i put it next to the leg of the machine and i use my leg to kind of shove the game over you're adding some energy from your foot that's clever oh yeah it's i mean my arms are just like my wrists aren't strong enough to really slide the game outside oh that's a tough triple drain there frank had that score doubler on he's in multiball it seemed like exactly what he had set up exactly like he wanted and then unfortunately a little pinball to pinball interaction and we're looking at a drain double drain it was almost a triple drain really yeah it was one two three if only we were playing once again pirates of the caribbean uh the uh uh jersey jack you're able to select that character where if you double drained in multiple i'll give you a ball back is that right yeah that's oh i didn't know that that's the only thing that that character does um and that's great yeah i've never selected it because like i mean you're not going to double drain right like you double drains right that never happened for sure all right well was that the game there [Applause] yeah we're still up here i'm just looking at something oh not that one that one no we're still that's still what everybody else is watching i'm just looking at something this one thank you all right nice so yeah so the question came up what's everybody playing it looks like stars on group one and of course we're watching elvis on group two yeah it looks like trent is playing stars at the moment he's been there for a hot second okay we're in another multiball sweet yeah look at this oh this is the jail one i'm gonna call it the jail i've decided jailhouse rock all right jailhouse rock that's gotta be it okay so the way you get your um super jackpot lit is by hitting jackpot shots um so those are the white shots around the playfield and the flashing red one right there that he just hit yep and they're worth quite a bit two million seem good money do you have to clear all the white shots in the red one before you get to the super there's or is it just a number of them it's a number of okay you have to hit quite a key though yep yeah that's a bummer a half ramp on that left ramp aimed right down the center of course you're looking at the center drain there chad markham felt it player ones up but look at these scores 9 8 11 and 11 this is absolutely anybody's game on all three i mean this is these are just not terribly high scores so at this point average yeah i'll say average scores but at this point nobody's got to run away nobody's got a guaranteed first it could go to anybody 2x play or 2x bonus multiplier there you can do it come on okay ops for the right orbit which is where the gift from elvis comes into play yeah once you clear those drops be real nice to get that mode lit if you can do a mode a hound dog a 2x and a multiball at the same time you're living large she really wants the uh that's that saucer but you can't let the pinball machine know that you want it too bad no don't tell the pinball machine oh i was just you could read her lips when she went up to the hotel and didn't take the flip on time she just went damn and i was i thought i thought the same thing yeah and it looked like she had it earlier with that lock shot it kind of went in came out yep it's a it's a little tubby it does remind me of lord of the rings the uh gimballing shot or you know you know that that buck yep because it's fed through the pot bumpers and it's kind of hard to hit um directly from the left flipper yep i love that i never think of it as a buck i always think it was a v uk but that's it almost sounds like we're swearing on the stream and i appreciate that i've never even considered it i like that okay good decision another skill shot i really like this yeah if the ball happens if you can get it back in there yeah skill shot all over again he's not going to do the skull though i didn't realize actually that it it is a real skill shot and not just not just hitting the lit lane up top yeah all right excellent backhand we're in jailbreak if you can hit the skill shot on this one it's nice because you get to skip having to clear all the drops and shoot the right orbit right so you can get right into a mode pretty quick i'm not sure which um is which i know there's another skill shot if you hit the lit um the lit drop target on the elvis yeah that's what i was thinking of i think that's what you're talking about i think that's the one that starts a mode you're a gift from elvis anyway yeah oh yeah yeah yeah yeah you guys can correct me on that one if i'm wrong because there's also a skill shot at the top with the the top lanes that's is that where you get your 2x play field multiplayer right off the bat oh i don't think so i think it just gives you 500. oh okay that's nice completing those upper inlanes will will certainly give you a multiplier there you go great example but just for bonus not for play field oh wow nice on the fly shot how do you like that got lock two question mark yeah so he already played through his first um jail whatever so now he has to get three but um was that lock one of three or locked two or three do you know two or three two or three okay i think yeah i do love games where it rewards you for finding your way back to the plunger lane i think that's really fun and it doesn't automatically kick it out for you i don't know many games that do that my favorite uh example is four million bc the old uh ted's alien because yeah the best the best points on that game are in the skill shot so if you can find your way back to the the plunger awesome thank you for dead bouncing that was very kind it's a release all right and there you go all right all right we're still okay we're still okay yeah a little flip away there nothing wrong with that to keep you out of danger oh that's rough yeah boy you saw it going i did not see that coming so just checking it out was that here and out is that where that went it went uh he flipped it yeah and then it looked like he got here yeah right there and then down and of course look at that angle yeah look at that angle math i mean again everything on a play field is oriented toward the drain for a reason right yeah gosh you know what my least favorite drain is is in uh anything from a side flipper where there's a loop and then it gets caught halfway at the loop and comes back down i'm talking about it goes to like the right outline yeah like any keith l one game yeah though yeah like i'm talking like uh avengers that dream godzilla has that dream oh it's maddening that i don't use the side flippers for that reason sometimes see i can't help but flip at it and i know i shouldn't but it's right there you can see this uh strobing shot here on the left on elvis on the drop targets hitting that would be a really great start eric was speaking i have no idea what are you doing ski pass over to the left nice okay he's going right up to heartbreak hotel oh okay so he's got the hotel open yeah tries to go for that ramp again chad is going to slow down take a trap take a breath pass there and that's the post pass i thought it wasn't there i didn't think it was there either of course i never want to postpass from right to left because the backhand to that lock shot is so safe yeah oh good save oh dangers are your friend not your enemy those are those are get out of jail free cards and if you know how to use them they can be really really helpful but this game is only on one danger yeah you get one one and out yep did we just get raspberry by deborah tallman i don't know how i feel about that what is this fourth grade [Laughter] well here's our scores i didn't get to see finals bring me back to the final score come on okay he's got it we almost got some elvis trivia there you go so it goes to uh colin faust and number one chad markham number two and i think it went diane then frank in that order but i may be wrong about that because it went too fast but that's elvis thank you dieter thank you so much for paying forward that gift and uh sending one along to mr scoot mr scoot's a fantastic streamer of both pinball and video games so we'll take it hope mr signs on i'm laughing at modular vibe we don't like tilt amusements just the hat i like tilt amusements i like total music too but this hat is kind of the best it's a good hat i just got it yesterday trent gave it to me and it's my new favorite head it's yeah i wear this one all the time maybe i'll wear it backwards though because this is feeling i'm feeling like a walking billboard all right for tilt yeah between the two of us yeah so that's not helpful let's look at this instead just a little reminder of our match-ups here so uh there you have it so far you can see that we had uh carlos in first in the group we weren't watching group one carlos in first wayne oh sorry joe in first wayne in second carlos in third trent came in fourth on that one and then in the one we just watched of course colin walked away with it followed by chad followed by frank and diane sorry i got that back where's frank and then diane so let's see what's going on let's go to our next game shall we oh bad girl you guys know this one yeah bad girls is fun oh man i was having such a good time on this game earlier awesome i'm gonna refresh this over here so that we can make sure everybody's matches are up to date diane's right to it man oh i'm so ready to watch batgirls has one of the coolest soundtracks to any game i hope we can hear if if we get into the rack them up we have to turn off the vodka let's see what we can do i'm gonna turn us down for a minute is [Music] not just the regular okay so if she gets to if she gets to that uh racket re-racket mode yeah the re-rack yeah that's really cool okay cool man we'll pump it up yeah it looks like she's actually close ah so if she hit the eight ball the i believe the drop right so the way you get into is that you have to clear all of the balls and then the eight ball lights and if you hit that then you get to re-rack the balls and has a really cool um soundtrack it's very neat gottlieb did some clever things with some pretty early technology back in the 80s and the music was one of them right i mean it's it's sort of like konami style video game music but it sounds great it makes me excited to play like this game made me excited to play it yeah yeah and that's another thing that might be excalibur like that has some cool sounds i love the sounds on xcali love them so i i wasn't a fan of premier gottlieb but now i think i am you know what is a really weird title from gottlieb that i absolutely love is uh is it gladiator is that what it's called gladiators that's got those super weird shots on it yeah the ramps yeah everything about that game is odd and it is i really like it odd is the word for godly premiere but they were taking risks man they were doing strange things which i appreciate it does look like from genesis you are accurate because that's the uh that's the premiere yep that's how they do partnership that gottlieb had they all have like the same feel uh to the backboard yeah and they all have this like speak and spell style display that i really love i forget what they you guys in the stream might know what it's called when you have like all these little segments that light up individually to make letters and words but it takes me back to like 1982. yeah which is before you were alive but it was a great time to be alive class of 1812 another one yeah people love that game i haven't learned to like it yet but 1812 yeah i need to learn to like it it's another weird one all right so he's got uh lock or uh multiball ready if he hits it's that eight ball shot yeah yeah so he already hit the drop target drop target's pretty dangerous there you go there you go that's the whip that's it you want to hold up the left flipper it comes to the flipper so fast look at this yeah watch it watch it it'll fire out of there as soon as it registers the switch we'll be holding it up right now that's right watch it'll hit a switch on the play field and then now it's good oh good see it hopped right over that happened to him yesterday too yeah yeah so watch this i'm gonna hit the replay real quick watch this ball hop over i wish i could hit a switch on the play field and then i was good okay oh good see it hopped right over that happened to him yesterday it's so shootable it looks so tight i mean well if you can find it it's shootable obviously but okay here we go so my my favorite move in multiball here by the way is to trap left take your other flipper shoot the spinner on the left spinner from the right flipper wait for it to feed and then let that ball knock this one back over to the right and do it again and again it's hard i mean it's hard to pull off that first trap but once you get it fairly predictable if you can keep hitting that spinner you know i'm more of a i i really want to get all the drops down during multiball when you're playing it like we're getting a lot of you know um ambiance noise yeah but when you're playing it it's so cool i when i first got into it i wasn't sure what it wanted me to shoot but it's so very obvious that you're in something that you're like all right what am i supposed to shoot let me add it okay so he uh times that out he did not um capitalize on the re-rack bonus but it is very hard to hit especially outside it is it is but you can queue it up again pretty quick so if you miss it you just come back to it so there you go how about those dual spinner rips one on each side that's going to be worth a ton during um during multiball is it like 2 000 a spin or something on both spinners on multi uh 200. oh sorry 200 a spin oh no 20 20 20 20 000 20 000 there was a two in there somewhere there's that very target that very target you don't we haven't seen people really aiming for it because it's so dangerous but if you can get it it does give you a multiplier yeah i found it i i have not drained on that shot yet i didn't either i i found it pretty livable yesterday but i noticed most people are avoiding it today it's just i i don't know how big bonuses so uh one important shot that we haven't been really seeing in this uh play is the right orbit that i heard it carries from ball to ball and it's a buildable shot so it starts at 50 50 000 but it can be built to like 200 now okay and an extra ball which is worth like 500 or something it's crazy all right here we go here's the bad bed all right so oh okay he's still in that racket up mode he only has one stand up ah he had two stand ups left that was bad bad bad bad very good ball million on ball one is very good yep yep yeah great start i mean we saw a winning games just under a million yesterday so starting out ball one with a million 1.1 fantastic yeah the gc earlier today was 8 million now it's a little bit higher it's double that oh really yeah was that thanks to you yeah yeah so like 16 million uh 14 14-ish million on bad girls holy moly that must have been a pretty bad bad game yeah it was two racks in the michael jackson bad stuff get dragged i actually like to use the side flipper on this game it's it's a good feed it's like the correct shot off of that one because every time i lost the ball was off of that eight ball stand up oh really yeah or the drop target hit that post that was the bad version of that not the so frank is going to step away from that one a little bit disappointed oh man earlier i was calling this game bad cats no bad cats yeah yeah i mean it's like again the jazz use of the word cats those are some pretty cool cats there is a bad cat's game there is that's a great terrible tournament i would get confused between big game big house bad cats bad cats game of cats i thought this was bad girls for a while wait this is bad girls yeah fine i thought it was big girls big girls oh wow that might be a more controversial machine all right so she has multiple ready on the live no she doesn't she has to hit the drop target still all right and oh nice try almost got it still alive she's she's blowing up those spots she's playing very on the fly you can ski past this pretty easily because the flippers are pretty shallow you're right the flipper angle is really shallow on these that's not something i had noticed it's a great call yeah yeah when you compare it to a game like gladiators which are made by the same company same era those things are like ridiculous well yeah they're like 40 degrees well it's the same as do does it have like the thick flippers on gladiator no it's very high uh flippers oh um freddy oh friday the 13th yeah yeah freddie freddie cougar whatever yep uh-oh uh-oh good nudge right back in water world i don't know as i've ever played a water one i played it once and it's wow i got like hey multiple okay hold up the left flipper because it comes down fast watch this i mean right now if i were i'm playing i'm like hold up the left oh see that's exactly what i'm saying that flipper you got to hold it up you've got to i mean he knows now so quick hopefully i mean you're allowed one mistake on that but if he does it again that's another thing about this machine is it's got these two killer turnaround shots up here and up here where it really does play that play that back that's another thing about this machine is it's got these two killer turnaround shots up here and up here where it really does play that play that back how do you like that just standing right on the corner there so cool oh so cool i had it i had a safe like that on fire power oh really in it oh my gosh it was leaning out it was leaning out leaning in what did you do i willed it i wheeled it in it was pure force oh and i i was just it was ball three i was player three and i was down like all of the points i was last and i was like i'm going i'm like i mean i kind of i kind of shimmy oh but you know usually in that situation you should meet it wrong or something oh sure oh no didn't even get it off the center post it's that bad bad bad do you remember steven prusa's shimmy out on walking dead last year i do remember that i i still have that video it's clipped somewhere and straight down the middle pinball go find steven prusa's shakeout it was out out i mean it was gonzo yeah and he walked it back up like it was on steps okay here we go here we go sounding like radio and oh it's scary it is this one if you hit got that drop down now we just gotta complete it okay he's playing on the fly that would have been a great time for a catch yeah i mean i'm sitting over here so obviously yeah easy for me to say big buck bang bar bad cats girls oh that's awesome that pinball machine would have 38 modes now what's the bar one what's that game big bang bar was a capcom game that never really got mass made it was sort of a somebody somebody clipped that for me love a good lazarus bar was a capcom game that never really got mass made it was sort of a oh somebody somebody i love it when that we're in another re-rack situation so the bonus is counting down but you build back up the bonus by hitting the stand up targets so you can kind of build it back up look at that all right hold up hold up the left flip there it is that's it that's it that's it diane diane knows no you know it only takes one before you're like never again yeah oh no she dropped it and she got it i think she got it okay she's good good she might have been reacting to the other ball coming down because i'm thinking about it oh okay no it's fine okay the bad bad moon is out yeah okay yeah that's the shot so that she's got an extra ball lit right now that flashing red i forget what extra ball awards here it's like 500 yeah it's a ton come on oh damn she doesn't know does she know does she know i think that's what the little white sign above it says so she might know she might have 500 actually no that white sign is talking about a few drains oh that's the that's the uh the consolation dream what do they call that the uh consolation dream yeah there's a name for it i don't know what it is she's in another bad bad mode and she's got multiball ready get it get it get it oh dead bounce come on all right all right hey look those spinner rips all day but okay right orbit right orbit there that's what she's going for she knows that's what she's going for and no that's okay is she trying to get the re-rack bonus i can't tell oh no it's not that's not it it's so late it feels like a night it is yeah yep you have to think alley passed honestly okay did she get the bad bad she got the bed she did it off the drain she got that last standard target that she needed for the rack wait how she got like a million points but how did she how did she get it at the end because she hit the bottom oh i see that was her dream that was her drain shot wow that's a good drain tribe that was awesome and she needed that too that was awesome all right that was a good shot i am with a 2.6 very solid i wish they'd bring back very targets i love them you don't see them i can only there's not a whole lot of them i mean there's only in older games this is probably the most recent game that has that very tourism you know what else has ah that was bad bad that was bad bad oh with a tilt yeah i don't know how big bonuses but i mean yeah i don't know if it was worth fighting for or not um what's that game uh ripley's believe it or not has a very targeted oh yeah that's the most recent one i can think of yeah i've never i don't think i've played that game but i know it does have that target it's a fun one it's it's odd oh yeah kentuckiana thank you thank you proven me a liar you're making a liar out of me sean oh all right let's see what chad markham's going to do here he's trying to get up past 1.9 to at least take second place if you can iron medium was supposed to have a variant target is that right i don't know where but okay cool very interesting jinx you owe me a coke sean okay there is a skill shot on this that's like if you short plunge it and it goes over like the one switch um dalva was that her name yeah she was talking about it earlier that she found the shot and she was getting like 600 000 points without flipping oh wow yeah that'd be awesome so interestingly um player four frames pulled up the flippers did he learn did he learn i mean he didn't well he drained because it hopped over a flipper yeah he had trapped left yeah that's right there we go that's nice oh that's dangerous um so if he were to drain right now with no more points he would get that 500 000 bonus because it's under 250. however that would not be enough to win anything so obviously he's not going to do that all right good spinner well you know oh good one yeah that was good control just got the very tip of it don't love that double drops that was so pretty sorry friends i love a good drop catch you're gonna have to watch this oh good one that was good control just got the very tip of it double drops that was so pretty of course there was also a center opposed situation okay and he has bad bad ready if he hits the um stand up target the eight see how it's flashing oh yeah that would be bad bad that bad okay he's making a lot oh beautiful stand up beautiful okay so he's aiming for the stand-ups on the far left and he clear him out right now that re-rack bonus is worth 2.8 million sorry 3 million now yeah builds every every stand up you hit builds so let's let's see it oh that was bad bad that was bad bad he has two left top and bottom all right nice little tap yeah very gentle very subtle chad plays really good he needs one more because i want to see it i would love to see it oh come on and yep here it is did you get it no he got it oh did he yeah no he's a 3.6 but i don't think he got it i didn't see an award he did get it what was it at which player is here he got it i mean there's no way i thought it was a score without creep what was that well once you hit it it like builds a little bit back oh okay i'm making that up but it feels really good to hit it it does feel really good oh he's in multiple again there you go okay all right let's see what he's focusing on here because it's right orbit hasn't been touched on a lot alright you got the very target there he's got his bonus up already i know it's only a 2x yeah his uh ball bonuses oh if you look in the center here yeah but he doesn't have any multipliers on it [Music] so yeah multipliers would certainly be worth it at this point so here's a nice stage actually yep yep oh yeah look at that yeah oh my gosh yes that was like a master class yeah what beautiful guys guys when this is done flip it for me please you know i wasn't sure if he was oh dang you know i think he was actually aiming for the right orbit and was missing early oh really yeah because he was staging that flipper he so he did he did like three stage flips in a row with drop catchers that is really tricky he's pretty good he's pretty good please somebody clip that for me i would love to watch it later just so i can learn how to do it that was worth it just for me that was fun what a great showing from chad markham i'll tell you what there doesn't seem to be a challenge you can put in front of chad markham that he won't step up to he's had some killer come from behind wins yesterday and today there's always one that we're bad bad hey he does get five hundred thousand votes no i don't think he got it cause he went over 250. oh you're yeah it's like the worst of all situations that's all right nobody wants your pity bonus bad girls bad bad bad bad well let's take a look uh back here at the standings and see if anything's updated for us hot tip they're going over the hot tip is that whatever i i heard eric yelling hot tip oh okay he might have just been saying like hot tip or he has a hot tip for somebody yeah or is that a hot take sorry let me go to the correct thing how about that let's do that instead here's our matchups so bad girls the points are in chad takes it diane's back with number two colin in three and frank unfortunately won't get any points on that one so chad is right now winning in group two group one has not yet reported in but we are going to hot tip that's going to be our em and let's take a look as eric rtd moves it over and i wish i was better at like quick math because then we could know like oh if this person gets glass and this one first then oh yeah i'm real bad at that eric is super good at it because he's an accountant like that but not me all right i guess we're done switching are we good oh he's putting new batteries on oh i was wondering if he's well we could take a look at it let's see we'll take a look back at our matchups so yeah so right now you've got chad out front with six colin is right behind with five so really if they switch orders on that because remember it's four two one it's not four three two right so first place gets two extra points over second place so if colin were to pull out a win even if chad came in second here that would still go to column right am i reading that right because at that point it would be nine to eight four two and one so colin would take that one uh as number one but of course if chad were in second he would still take number two uh frank would have to get first here to just equal where colin is colin would have to get zero chad would have to get zero they can't both get zero we'll go straight to it thank you um and then diane's at two so i mean really like the the the points differential here between frank and diane and then colin and chad is significant it's gonna be hard to overcome all right hot tip i love this game this is so cool i do too man i've really enjoyed watching this since we're not going to do a full tutorial we can give you just the basics yeah when you pop up here on your plunge you kind of hope you land on double bonus every time it hits these two passive bumpers it's going to change what is selected you hope it lands on double bonus before going in the scoop then if you knock down hot and tip it's going to light this spinner for a thousand points of spin because it's eric's house all the spinners are super juiced but even if you don't light the spinner it's worth going up this lane a bunch because every time you land up here you stand a chance of getting a double bonus plus you're getting whatever other points you land on and you get an advanced bonus every time you go that's true yeah yep yep perfect okay well a quick ball one but there are five balls in this game now the spinner shot is pretty late this game is it is it's also a bit flat so you're gonna see some floaty uh ball situations at the bottom so i don't know whatever that means it's pretty sort of em typical to have these kind of floaty balls right they feel a little bit anti-gravity compared to the newer machines but nice got rid of the tip got rid of the hut what i'll say there's lit oh oh frank way to pick it up for a machine of this era to have these really pointy flippers and that kind of power to get up top is pretty impressive because it doesn't just go up there it goes up and rips the spinner on the way it's kind of like grand prix that way we're really destroying oh nice nudge couldn't get it back in yeah but that's the that's the glory of uh williams flippers they're already figuring out by uh this era uh williams flippers i i feel like always did have a little bit more power than gottlieb did yep completely agree yeah now you're um i who was who's this oh no someone else was talking about we were talking about how to transfer the ball from the left flipper to the right flipper when you have your spinner lit you want to do that yeah and i was like well you're able to tap past it's kind of a difficult trend he was saying that he was able consistently to it's kind of like a reverse post pass where it goes up the end lane and comes out onto the right flipper i've seen those where you're kicking up your own in lane and back around yeah like he said he was able to do this well look how wide these inlands are right so you get a little bit more of a chance of being able to kick it back up yeah exactly that was a reversed alley yep um shot but man that's if he can consistently do that i'm pretty impressed because mine are mostly luck i i need to get back on this game and try it out but i'm still gonna tap you can see chad doing some really typical uh covering behavior which is when you're watching that ball go back and forth and you're making kind of educated guesses about where it's going oh that was a bad guess yeah i was just a misread i it looks like he was going to dead bounce it over but then he flipped so he ate the ball that's why i call it it's eating the ball oh when you grab it from the top and throw it down yeah yeah it feels like that's good i like eating the ball all right so 5 000 test bonus there's a little post stop there let's see oh well a little bit controlling us post catches are really cool once you get used to them but boy i'll tell you what first they get they get really anxious anxiety inducing for me straight to that right outlane not a whole lot unfortunately for colin on that one so we're back to diane who's at 21 000 which is uh not a bad start but uh we still got a lot of pinball left to play on this machine it's true sean someone said in the chat i do love how many down the middles you can save with fat volley and got lip flippers though that is true you do have those read that's true yeah we saw it we saw a couple on on the last game what was the last game oh i don't know it's been so long it's hard to say yeah yeah but yeah you can like have like three shots back and forth between the fat flippers that is fun there you go talk about your your post catch right it's an interesting catch but because they're so um kind of steep you're able to do that yeah you're able to do stuff like that yeah very different very different than the got lead clippers we were just looking at right these are very pointy sharp powerful and steep okay she has one more drop target very nice nudge off of there if you leave it to the face on that one it's going to want to go to the out lane so she knows that just misses it there we go great hey lothar thank you so much for following cheers to you okay that's a tough one i mean we got we just hit the very top of this uh sling and it just nudged us out but okay sitting at 136. it's okay yeah that's a good showing and um you know we're only on ball two so still lots of room here all right so this uh got the captive ball lit yep i do not go for the captive yeah it's too scary oh he does frank says forget you i'm going for the captive ball so that's two bonus advances in 30k yep the 30k is nice the bonus advances are nice i just don't find it worth it i haven't drained on that shot yet today but i still don't like to shoot it purposefully the issue for me is not so much that it drains directly out it's that it deadens the ball hits this sling and now you're back in sling chaos and i hate slim kings dalton says i recommend this game for ali passing practicing no personally i've i like to practice alley passing on centaur because you're able to get a multiball we received a level 5 hype training mode nice love that hype train oh all right nice move yep such a good move and again very disciplined he's good like that chad's good at subtle and discipline wow oh down the middle love that height level five jinx you also owe me a coke everybody owes me a coke now if double bonuses lit you're looking at a 70k shot at the captive well we'll do a cheers as soon as this uh this game's going on so ball three begins with diane spakman at 136 looking pretty good up against frank young's 206 not as good but against everybody else she's looking pretty good chad who's been really dominating today in so many ways is behind on this particular game going into ball three but still lots to do got that captive ball lit right off the bat of course if chad loses then we have more interesting numbers that's true yeah it's not a runaway oh tries for the captive and if you guys remember chad and colin are in very similar places so it's all coming down to hot tip for both thanks both yeah for both groups hey that's great man so we'll just hang out we just got a double bonus slit yeah nice job we want a big bonus that's going to be yeah that's what you do so this is my my approach is if i get double bonus right off the plunge i'm just living on that saucer because if i miss right i still get to the spinner and i don't often miss left because i let it go right at the end of that flipper okay shoot it wait shoot it late you're right you want to shoot that late rather than anything else ever okay here it is go back to that saucer almost but you can see it's not a terribly dangerous shot that i mean you can you can take a couple of tries all right you're gonna pick up another one light that captain ball advance bonus and you can advance bonus up top all day long the trouble for me is if i go if i keep going up top exclusively i'm going to get hurt by that uh by that pop bumper all right i don't fault and fault him for trying to go for the captain ball just because that's two bonus advantages right double yeah all right chad chad shaking it off do you see him chad's like forget what happened last time okay good dead bounce i like that yep it was wise big ole spinner rip all right 10 000. advanced bonus to 20. that's fine very good yep slow it down shoot it through that spinner nice nice so if you're wondering what he's doing he's trying to get that ball to sit right in the crook of the elbow that's why he's flipping over and over to try and get that ball to edge back to the crook that was so cool oh i thought he tapped it just a tiny bit that was all definitely shorter well these are a little have some like give to them oh okay if the ball is coming down with speed it's going to look like he flipped or something that's actually just the ball one thing that's hard to appreciate until you own a pinball machine is that pinballs are heavier than you think they are and they're moving with quite a lot of force oh no what happened what happened eric fear says he's doing the walk of double bonus that's double bonus we're gonna have to talk about this in a minute i will eric i mean we talked to eric right when he was when he was uh in the qualifiers he was unbeaten after four rounds and he said he just got out so that's pinball for you oh oh that was savable too i also thought it was gonna make it across i got to tell you hey was that max bonus though they tricked me too i didn't see oh i will pass it along uh dalton that eric smells i'll make sure he knows oh oh that is a that he can drain he he can drain okay now he can't but he could train just then i do not think he hit a switch really yeah it was very impressive that's a good trick if you can pull it off well especially with this one because there's those the slings the switch is up on the top i think he went through the slings i could have been wrong though and whatever it's hard to tell since this isn't like a solid state game where the game flashes or whatever dmd game one thing that's interesting about this game is if i were to if you were like hey draw a hot tip on a David Hankin i would have drawn this bumper right in the middle but it's not oh yeah that bumper is just right which is helpful because here's the feed from the top it needs to go just to the left or otherwise it's going to hit that bumper every single time yeah wow i never noticed that that was a good good that was a hot tip right that is a hot tip i'd also like to know under what circumstances i would be asked to draw a hot tip on a David Hankin that would be okay i'll ask you later like what happened in my day that that was what was happening oh there it is so he's got this there you go got that spinner lit oh man just now just live on that spinner there you go i got a few spins pretty good do it again all right almost a little squirrely there now if you hit hot tip again you can light those top uh drops for 10 000 points i heard that's also how you get the extra ball question mark oh i mean it lights i've done it so many times where you're pretty sure you know where that ball is going and then especially on a game where the slings aren't as sensitive as you think bitcoins no whammies says diane i'll tell you the way she's playing i feel good i feel good about whatever's about to happen only because she has been really really handling this game i mean this is only a ball four yep there you go oh good day all right has the same drop target as her last ball which is the key oh yeah i know look at that game tell it why me yeah come on game there wasn't a whole lot of save in that i mean it was again when you get a rainbow like that where it's just like it's just destined for the out lane maybe that wasn't a proper dream about maybe it was more linear but it was it was destined for the outline okay oh nails the draw or the pop there it is very nice one more drop okay ops for the spinner i agree with that double uh nope come on popper love no popper though oh how do you like that backhand yeah i bet frank's happy with that one that felt more like a a save that turned into a beautiful backhand but whatever he gets the last drop for this there you go what a rip you hear eric that's his that's his favorite thing in the world [Music] good to see you right there nice oh nice little stop frank takes a breath no that's one of those situations where you wish you had a way to transfer the ball from left to right there it is there it is another one oh that feels so good doesn't it still spinning there we go i'm satisfied just watching it where's this point you hear eric yeah that's like twenty thousand that's twenty thousand points right there oh yeah yeah oh right there you see frank he's looking all kinds of happy i don't blame him see everyone in the background of the player i don't blame him yeah see he's he's letting it dead bounce he's letting it calm down he'll take that extra bonus oh take that extra bonus so he's maxed out on bonus but he does not have double bonus lit he definitely needs to just keep going up top till he gets it almost stop it [Music] frank got a lot done on that ball plus it was just fun to watch that was so good yeah i could watch that rip all day oh my god this rambunctious this bree says we need to get a hype train going right now i completely agree height height height yeah that was awesome almost got the double bonus right on the plunge i mean look at frank up at 6 50 all of a sudden he is living large man that's feeling oh chad mark i'm fine he's playing with fire that oh nice stop i like he he doesn't uh flip on the fly he knows he can stop the ball yeah he really he again he has that sort of zen calm that discipline to his game double bonus there you go there's your double bonus so he's up to 60 000 on bonus so good that's so good i love that oh don't don't that's going out oh what another stops are right there that's so good good nudge back into the end there you go yeah there's that big rip he's gonna hopefully pick up another bonus there nope just missed it got two drops on that he hasn't had any there you go he cleared him off gosh where am i there you go nice boom boom boom those spinner rips are just so valuable just can't get into that saucer though oh dang that's where i'll get 100 000 on bonus there it won't get him all the way back up to number one but that that bought him some room yeah all it needs is not last right yep yep yeah so frank is i mean if he ends up in first on this it's gonna be a real turnaround in the scores [Music] all right clean 5000 oh up and out that's going to put him into third place for now but this is a great chance for diane to come back and clean house i mean diane and frank are really fighting for their lives on this one so they are highly motivated well i mean they need some help from the leaders though modular vibe says colin has to place higher than diane to advance is that right i don't know i'm bad at math uh yeah nice oof what a dig all right play it on the flipper there you go uh it looks good honestly it did oh we gotta slow it down we're playing off that bumper a lot got a little english on that one yeah double bonus nice oh come on okay now we just need to get that spinner lit all right i'll take that there you go oh that was weird that was an english issue or an insert issue one of the two looks like all right that was so close to save harder it's looking like the game is leaning a little right oh really okay well just based off of what you're seeing yeah right there i got to tell you i'm kind of rooting for frank just to pull another 700 rips on that spinner i like watching it all right some more drops bonus vans that's out all right all right it's fun so eric i don't know if you can see him friends but eric is hanging out right here watching the stream of the person behind him playing pinball which means the stream cam must look pretty good because it's better than real life it does it is i mean in real life you get like underneath the arm and like over the shoulder that's right i've definitely sat there like underneath someone's arm just because i wanted to see where on the flipper shot was or if the post password you do feel like a weird stalker standing behind somebody just it feels odd it's like a specific part of the play field that i want to see okay good stuff classic chad bree you want to hop in for the last game on hot tip all right we'll wrap up with chad and colin and then it's all you i think the bree elizabeth combo is killer so i will happily walk away oh nice nudge god he keeps doing that all right tip over didn't quite work for him but he's got it back under control he keeps doing that i'm so impressed all right does he want to go for the yep goes for the last drop so now the spinner's lit oh another good night oh okay i love that little double flip all right bounce bounce give my doubles yep nice yeah can you transfer is he going to transfer candy transfer i don't know he's thinking about looking at him thinking about transferring the ball i don't know if he practiced that or not yeah he's trying well that was the uh that was the in-lane yeah he's trying post post in lane move that'll work it won't make for much of a spinner rip but no no a lot of dead bounce okay it didn't have enough speed that was just weird though oh you didn't think it would have made it over no okay with that speed well in that case nice rip all right offshore control back on the left flipper love it i suppose you could just keep doing that for 5 000 points a piece sure if you feel confident about it there you go all right spin the spin oh too early mostly seeing if if a shot is missed on the spinner it's always too early it is very late yeah there it is there it is yep yeah and again that's why i love going for that saucer because if you miss you're probably just gonna hit the spinner there are oreos involved thank you thank you okay here we go oh gosh he's lost it he had the spinner so dialed in in the beginning of the game he tried to take a little bit of energy off the ball on the top of the sling but wasn't enough couldn't quite reach frank but there is a lot of distance between him and well player four petery and jelly was that you oh thanks for the bits allie passes wide open seldom get up and over due to the shark turn the inlay yeah makes sense i mean we've seen a bunch of those even the little in-lane passes chad was throwing to himself they there wasn't a whole lot of danger of it going way up and over and out well i think he's talking about alley passing traditionally yeah yeah oh but i think he's right like that that it does take a lot of energy off yeah just coming around that corner yeah all right well that's that's hot tip could not quite uh catch diane interestingly enough so diane will get one point okay so it is colin and chad moving on no i wonder if they're going to do a one ball play-off i think there's a tie there's a tie one ball play-off a full play off [Music] okay they'll do a full playoff okay on an em that was what you said before oh cool nice yeah before that all of the playoffs were one ball on a modern stern which is so cool by the way like yeah i saw that game that was crazy so like i i was sitting there i was like what an interesting question it was like game of thrones strategy but only one yeah what do you do with one ball yeah because you're not you might not want to do lannister because you don't have anything built everybody want baratheon i think didn't baratheon is just safe you have that outlane but like what if you do something like greyjoy just no something like martel maybe because it's a mode that's easy to complete yeah martel then left orbit or start you can do start and do winners coming off on the center shot you know try and catch it hurry up yeah no castle multiball just castle multiple laughs i didn't quite see all of your vault but well here's what i'll do i'll hand off to you bri yeah we can talk about game of thrones is that how you spell your name it is thank you wow you guys are like 10 out of 10 today well i did play against you today i believe i appreciate it okay there we go yeah so and then we can talk about walking dead one ball like what ball would you do for walking or what strategy would you do one ball what would i do walking dead one ball the ambitiousness in me would be like the whale walker but i probably would go for bicycle girl really okay by the way make sense i think i would go for barnstall though yeah yeah i was like yeah i was like i would probably do bicycle girl left or yeah yeah i think i mean the stand up the stand is really the dangerous part but once you clear that out and you have the ball safe barn you know get 40 billion out of that and then will they starting right now oh maybe yeah should we get back to oregon yeah oh gravity trap dude you're good okay oh yeah yep i'm getting there slowly push early this [Music] cool all right we're all set up again oh my gosh i think we are without justin here i'm always like nervous it's like i'm like a kid at the wheel now i'm like mom i'm driving the van and i don't know what all the buttons do i always turn on the windshield lockers i drove a minivan in high school and i felt like all of the buttons i pretended it was like a starship or something i was like torpedoes it was like the turning signal oh you hit the glass there you hear that okay so it has one more drop trigger on the far left to light the spinner come on pop up oh yeah you like that get some bonus advance he's already halfway there so if he can double this look at this bounce bounce no okay well yeah ideally that's what you wanted he's got a lit spinner ladies and gentlemen we have a lit spinner and oh a little late which you don't see often oh dang you tell them trent you tell it to get out of there i'm happy that we have the the audio back on the rig oh sorry what was loud oh yeah the glass hit i'm sure that's what the chat uh trans meta was talking about it was allowed always scary when you um i find there's certain games that hit the glass more than others okay white water yeah modern stearns just because how they're like warped with the inserts they were talking about it was loud because the glass that got hit the ball hit the glass yeah okay i don't hear myself anymore is that a problem not that is that is that is that a problem okay it's kind of a weird sensation i think about yourself yeah i don't like it i know i'm glad i don't have to listen to myself anymore oh what a miss ah dang it like we can always turn you back up yeah we're talking about like flying balls it's good man it is actually nice not having to listen to myself i mean i hear you fine do you hear me i totally hear you okay you sound great this is excellent bye diane goodbye i i witnessed everything it was great i was there from when she won her game of thrones game and it was very exciting i know that was amazing okay oreos oh man if we could get sponsored by oreos guys that would be fantastic we're looking for sponsors for cincinnati and if oreos did it i would be so happy wow ally passed on the fly got a little beaten up on that one day okay now you just have to get bonus yeah yeah okay do something it's always sucky when you get double bonus you have no bonus to double well 10 000 is 20 000 with double bonus oh god it's one more on the outlane yeah this is a very different game so far from what we just witnessed okay carlos i found um a full plunge minus a little was what i needed for the uh saucer yeah oh it gets two bonus advances off that cap the ball that's nice alley pass over to the left to go for the captive again you mad man literally carlos i feel like you knew that was coming yeah whenever i he was all grumpy and was like whenever i see a strategy that's not quite like all the other ones i'm like you're just asking for it just asking for it are you sure you want to be playing this way oh nice in oh come on all right you know i wonder what's happening on that um that tie breaker game i am also curious about that tiebreaker game i wonder what it's on do you know what's on yeah there was a tiebreaker a division yeah between someone and someone yeah not diane dang oh i found my phone i've lost and found my phone more times today well actually okay two more pop bumper i mean drop targets to get the light splinter double uh okay one more no go no tie breakers oh all right okay i just wanted to get uh debra out of here so i was like hey look after that there is a tiebreaker somewhere i thought she's taking her oreos did they not tie the last game on hot tip there was a tie does eric know was there was it was it not like to advance maybe they already finished it hold on maybe it was on a game like you know would be a perfect tiebreaker game quick draw you know why because it's two players i knew what you're going for smelling while i'm stepping in yeah [Music] yeah see oh they already did it they already did the typewriter it was on big game and frank moved forward wow big game it was on big game it already happened oh nice whatever that was worked in his favor he tap passed it over to the left flipper why i know he's kept the ball literally carlos oh it is so tricky to tap pass on this game because the flipper button is so shallow yeah it's like really close to the cabinet it's so close to the cabinet i've tried to do so many slap saves and i missed the button yeah i'm like there it is nice wow i've i guess that shot is more safe than i thought oh too strong of a tap you'd rather tap too hard than too lightly you know why yeah you know why we all know it okay so he maxed out his bonus he's at double when did that happen okay now he's going for the drop target so he can work on his lit spinner no i was like dalton who's doing this for you tacos are kind of the coolest thing get another double bonus you don't get you don't get quadruple bonus that's level three all right gets the last no he gets the second last drop he has one more one right the t yeah it's a nice bonus the tea drops are separate on the hot tub another bonus advance off the stand up oh nice in lane lovely oh oh oh that's dang scary very nice one more drop the p yep and it's gone i'm not gonna be enough to put any pressure on player two we are on ball four yep that's what she stops we are on ball four yeah that was also scary all right one more drop oh okay nice yeah the game was allowed to you know drain him there but it chose not to [Music] you know something that justin mentioned earlier that i didn't notice about hot tub hot tip is that the pot bumper is off-center i did yeah i noticed that did you notice that bumper's off-center like massively off-center yeah like not even close like your eyes are wrong for thinking it was something i'm not saying carlos's strategy is the quote-unquote right-wing but it is it's an interesting way i'll put a teeth that way i'm using hold on first right now just got double bonus off of these oh and there's the there's the uh strategy of you know kicking him just a little bit but you know any shot is a dangerous shot really yeah honestly there's not one shot that's like you do this shot every time you're going to be fine at least not on this one oh yeah like they're on five ah dang it they're good yeah this is ball five double bonus means nothing if you don't have bonus that's true hopefully you always start with bonus right yeah like you you get 10. scary yeah i never really worry too much about double bonus on my my saucer because there's nothing there yet i'd rather like hit it up into there with a spinner i mean i never expect it's going to happen so when it does i'm just like oh cool yeah you're like awesome yeah this is great now i'm going to drain oh we have a hot hot take game gamma goat thinks that the pop bumper might actually be in the center and the flippers are just not i don't know we'll we'll uh bring out our protractors and rulers later we're gonna get the answer to y'all [Music] though if the pop bumper is the center then the saucer and the flippers are off center either way something is off-centered i mean the camera is not completely something so it's hard we have a weird angle i know i want to go look at it like in person me know that was that's i've like i feel like i've seen that on a game though there was a phantom flip where the um the switch was kind of touching just a little bit and not strong like that but it was like lightly flipping and i mean ghost ghost playing pinball yeah i actually had oh yeah this one yeah wow we're soaking we're so good oh my goodness if you were to choose a bank which one would you choose me yeah you've done really well on that yeah i would choose the bank that i did first which was trying to find it it was hot tip oh stars godzilla hot tip that's the one i would choose yeah stars godzilla yeah big time i wouldn't i think of all of my dudes bank six doctor who odds and even some bad girls i felt pretty okay on all of those but bank five looks good too elvis bad girls i think eleven's not right i think i was dead i always feel okay on that um game of thrones games but i don't like the other games that they're paired with so imagine that this godzilla was playing i wouldn't settle for bank two two which is okay okay should we do stars i'm gonna go see what i'm playing is he are you good is he okay how do you spell stars uh which is the button over here all right everybody let's learn some steering stars at the start of the game you will have one random yeah completed for you as you can see here the pink star is completed for us bam collect all four other stars to juice the right spinner for a thousand a spin crush through the spinner here for a thousand a rip also after collecting all five stars you will light a red special light next to one of the star targets that will be changed by either advancing bonus by hitting the targets or the rollovers or ripping the spinach if you happen to hit that special it is worth a hundred thousand points huge you can collect as many as those as you want per ball also you can hit the center drop targets on either side of the play field to juice the left spinner for a thousand a rip straight through here big points you can also hit down all the drop targets once you hit down three of the drop targets you will get double bonus once you hit down all six drop targets you will get triple bonus if you continue to hit down all six drop targets you will then get extra ball after that you will then light special for a hundred thousand points just like getting specials via the star targets you can advance your base bonus by hitting the rollovers in the middle and top of the playfield or the lit in lane outlane rollovers that's stern stars it is let's go over there we are starting our finals now let's have a small toast shall we friends to an amazing day of pinball thank you ready for finals let the may the ball saves be on and [Music] [Laughter] thank you trent cheers old mate i go by old mate cheers i'd say a couple months in total if you add up

chill oh this is wait this is the finals this is the finals oh i didn't realize this was it all comes down to this my bad aren't you excited oh i am way more excited i mean i'm always excited me too pinball how long can we stay here after i think as long as we keep streaming they're gonna think the tournament's still happening so they can't kick us out yeah somewhere around 4 a.m when we're down to zero viewers he'll figure it out 84 right now 84 viewers for our final friends online thank you for hanging with us all day we've been at this since noon and you have been in from the beginning so thank you for spending all this great time with us um i am so thrilled to have you for our finals here at the northern kentucky open 2022 i'm justin masterson i'm elizabeth and we have been uh part of the team commentating all day including deborah tallman bree reynolds and uh Laser Los has been over here eric wurttenberger who is also our our dutiful tournament director and this is his house along with angie so they have been so welcoming i got to tell you there's no way they make money on this there's no way they even break even on this they do this because they love pinball and because they're willing to put in the work and our little chintzy tournament buy-ins in the end it's not enough it's just it's eric and angie's way of saying hey welcome to the community let's play some pinball love it yep and we've had a couple other we had trent augustine who's sitting right here to my right earlier on the stream we had my brother who knows nothing about pinball but wants to learn he was on earlier today i mean how fun is that i play against your brother i think oh no no no no i didn't yeah no i played against eric's eric's brother oh very cool yeah and i was like i'm pretty sure he knows something about pinball because he might have been quite good he might have been pretty good yeah he's pretty good well eric's got pinball in the family i know that uh what are the other two games in this bank that's a fair question godzilla and hot tip are the other two is there a place to see the wait list for cincinnati i will ask eric about that but friends thank you for all these wonderful emotes thank you for all these amazing bits if you haven't subscribed please do we've had some incredible support today 39 subs today which is a fantastic way oh rough for los with a left out lane drain there quick rattle out um but we've had 39 subscribes today which is a huge help into making this type of pinball streaming happen so please keep it up follow if you can't subscribe it's okay just give us a follow and we will continue to bring you awesome competitive pinball pinball daddy i love your emotes they're so funny those are awesome all right so joe bear here playing for all the marbles this is it game one of three in these finals and i'm going to step away in just a couple of minutes so other folks can get uh a chance to to commentate but didn't want to miss this uh-oh oh nice that's all right really great use of that center post just couldn't do it twice you really can't trust it twice no no at that point it's just come on please yeah the game only gives you one centerpost especially since there's no rubber on the center post yep i remember eric a couple tournaments ago watching it hit the center post and bounce like three times and then just slowly roll off and i was like yeah what are you going to do we may have quick technical issues so they're going to check into that cnk uh did i miss big house again you did not no we didn't play big we just played the tutorial oh we played a tutorial big house we did just because uh cnk asked for it oh yeah but we did not watch the actual game because it wasn't part of the number of games that we had in that bank and in fact we aren't gonna see it in this uh tournament from here on out because this is it this is the finals we've got stars godzilla and hot tip those are the next three games we're going to see i'll tell you though before we go to godzilla we'll play a tutorial and then before we go to hot tip we'll play a tutorial those are new this year those miniatorials that uh that eric put together are fabulous for learning in two minutes or less how to play a game yeah i've definitely had to watch a few i was planning to come here earlier just to watch watch some there's so much information there oh good i'm glad you saw the tutorial also lost is very helpful for keeping us up to date on the uh on the stream so thank you lois it's almost like we don't know what we're doing what you know what the weird thing is this is your second stream this is my 50th and i still don't know what i'm doing yeah because cincinnati was number one yeah what yeah that was like six months ago cincinnati was easily five years ago i'm pretty sure at least all right do we know what's happening with stars right now oh nairo's one euros one iros uh so glad you like the tutorials we worked hard to make them for you and we're going to keep making them for you all the way up to cincinnati and beyond because we want to have as many tutorials as we can get so that when we start these games on the stream that you can go in with the same knowledge that somebody like eric has and that our players have and in fact we've had some of our tournament players who are actually jumping to the side to watch the stream so that they can see the game or other tutorials for sure you know there's a beauty to seeing a tutorial and then being like oh okay and then doing just that you're like oh that's how you play the game and you just rock it out yep love it okay so it didn't kick the ball into the shooter lane it looks like it's been taken care of frank is playing a clean game tough bounce i actually expected to see some more action off of that sling well it was right on the edge it just didn't yeah it didn't activate yeah hard to read slings are interesting because they're not an all or nothing thing right you're hitting a switch yes but the question is how much contact and for how long so slings give back what you put into them and in that case it just wasn't enough to activate it wasn't enough to push off there you go yeah let's see what he does catch ooh okay backhands to the drops for double bonus now it's a little dangerous getting double bonus before you actually have built any bonus up yeah i mean if that's if your primary goal is to get double bonus you kind of hope you get some bonus tips i've made that mistake before building up a bonus x with no bonus and then just draining yeah nothing yeah nothing because five times zero still zero misses all right nice little nudge rattle around for a second oh he's got the spinner the left spinner is pretty lit right now actually if he just goes the tap right yeah we love that center post yep and now on triple bonus he was able to clear the drop targets oh sorry you're right you're right he's working towards triple i always forget that up here is what you can get up here is what you have yeah looks like he might be going for uh triple bonus i would be thinking about not a bad strategy oh almost just a split second lane on that right flipper he might have been able to pull it back i don't know it was on the bottom yeah yeah that was going to be tough but as you pointed out earlier these roundy flippers give you a little bit more grace on that i would rather a more pointed flipper myself though i believe randy flippers is the technical term right roundy flippers all right nice oh yeah it gets the pot to run into that star at the top trent what do you call the catch where you use the post to stop the ball where it comes in and you just that's a post catch i've been calling it a post catch okay oh inland yeah nice alley try stallion again yeah close track love it oh right right if it's coming from outside it's catch inside oh my gosh look my gosh he's crazy oh and lois knows knows he's doing something awesome that's so good he's already got double bonus right now okay so he's done being crazy because his bonus is maxed right now internet will you just clip that for me please please please i would love to see those shots again oh my god i want to revisit this carlos stop being crazy i'm talking to you internet please clip that for us i will cheer for you that was so good i'm going to be playing that in my head yeah oh my god i can't i can't alley pass back and forth like that i have to stop the ball and have a computer oh yeah i've been practicing alley passes for a while and i'm still real bad at him so to be able to do it on the fly like that back and forth really good all right a little danger there that's fine okay all right early shots if i were smart i'd spend less time trying to tap pass and more time trying to alley pass because it comes up a lot more but i just love the way a tap passes good dig watching nice try yep he left it to the center post okay double oh there we're in double bonus oh it was just bad timing he didn't quite get it right back up comes frank young who if you happen to miss it in the semis had a brilliant game of hot tip where he was just living on that spinner time after time after time ended up putting up what 640 000 or so just on that you know by the end of that ball working on the drops oh rough bounce you know that was a that was another example where he he hit this drop he hit it but he hit it from the side it wasn't enough to drop it instead it actually kind of recoiled and pushed it back out yep definitely seen that oh oh oh oh nice stop it and you saw he even gave it a nudge to help it along right he wasn't just gonna let it bounce yeah oh power outlet similar to frank's problem there right right off the drop targets popped to the right out lane it's true sean i was not able to tap on the fly either better now better now now i do it to be funny and i get myself in trouble dang if there was a rubber on that that could have been maybe but yeah oh no the first thing eric does when he buys a machine is remove all the things that make it playable including the rubbers on the outlanes and center posts hey did not hit switch no that was the same problem again i don't i don't know if we'll catch it on replay but let's try that was like 500 points including the rubbers on the outlanes and center posts hey did not hit his switch that was the same problem that's right and it matters with slingshots tip it over tip it over again a little weird a little wonky and i feel like we cycled through that last ball super fast oh that was that was it if he was going to catch it it was going to be right there you see i wish um frank is letting the ball uh go bit between the slings bounce back and forth without um any shoves to the game yep i'd rather see some movement a little bit of action yeah because you're taking some of the momentum off yeah whenever you're nudging the opposite direction oh he tried he almost had it or nudging the game with the ball so the sling doesn't have much as much power so instead of like working uh the slings and laddering itself back you know up and up yeah you're pulling off that power right right and again the slings give you back what you give it so if you can pull the power off before it hits that sling cutting down on that back and forth action right okay it gets a sling i mean a star for free yeah we'll take it all right i like the dead bounce it's got two stars that one's not going to light because you already had a lit no not quite enough we haven't seen a whole lot of spinner action on this one i i'm used to when eric plays stars just watching that left spinner and that right spinner rip but everybody's living on drops yeah they're working on the bonuses thank you outlaw pinball game for clipping that uh nice action that we saw from carlos yes thank you yeah get that last drop to get the double bonus well we're in double and that's going to be nice right now oh good dig i ate it yeah i here i am cheering for his dig and then every time i cheer for somebody something bad happens i need to stop it that's what i'm yeah no it's more fun to cheer okay yep yep yep great there oh yeah yeah i get some bonuses why not pick up a couple of so you get three bonus advances every time you roll over a lit inland or out lane so that was six bonus advances right there all right okay nice okay that might have been a shot to the drops that hurts alipas tutorial by Laser Los is exactly right thank you chuckles that was a tutorial all right one thing i mean i've been complimenting chad for two days because he plays great pinball but one thing he additionally does well in addition to his discipline and uh slow work is that he also kind of handles whatever comes at him as if he were expecting it i don't you don't see him get rattled much no yeah because he had always what to do with every ball he does in every situation i need a really weird kick off the pop there and it was like he was expecting he's like yeah of course yeah i mean once you play so much pinball you kind of do see it all oh another rattler man that's how he started this game you know here's the thing though so we're seeing a lot of bonus play which is great but something that we're not talking about is how if you get all of the stars you get a special little around the play field yeah and that's worth big money yep how much is it worth that 100 100 000 yeah that's a whole bunch i mean right now the high score is 112. so yeah think about that's basically a wizard boat that's the wizard mode for starters right sean you know you know what i'm talking about keep collecting it yeah and it's kind of a roving special and it moves around between the special lights yeah yeah oh every star has one yeah you're right do that there's that weird bottom feed on this one again bottom feeders bottom feeders all right frank's going to take a moment trap up take a breath a little rattle there but safely back to the right flipper all right let's see what you got here that could have been a bounce that could have been a bounce that hurts but when it's coming at an angle and not just drop down the center it's hard to read yeah i mean yeah this is ball five friends so this is it all or nothing it's all or nothing on this game anyway this is game one of three for the finals oh oh that was really strange that was gonna be so much more that was really strange wow oh just misses seconds yep yeah that hurts so the numbers are in first place is going to carlos second place is going to joe third place is going to chad and fourth is going to frank young but we still have two more games we're gonna play are we gonna play the yeah we sure are let's go to godzilla incredible utterly incredible godzilla pro pinball let's go to start off you'll have a couple skill shots you can shoot all the way around behind the upper flipper or you can short plunge and go right here next you want to light modes by hitting both ramps once you hit both ramps to scoop down hero light to play modes play those for big points next you can play multi-balls the first multiball is godzilla multiball which is by hitting the three major shots the building and the two ramps hit these enough and the building will light green hit the building to start godzilla multiball mecha godzilla multiball shoot this bottom right spinner enough it will light up blue lights down below continue to hit the spinner to qualify mechagodzilla multiball shoot it through the spinner once again to start mecha godzilla multiball tank multiball shoot the green circles scattered around the play field shoot enough for the tank circles and the scoop will light for tank multiball bridge multiball the captive ball for bridge hits you light that by getting switch hits rip the center spinner for the easiest way to light up the bridge light here and shoot the captain ball to light the right ramp to start bridge multiball outside of that you can get destruction jackpots by doing well in modes or multi-balls that will light at the building shoot here it will catch the ball on the magnet drop the ball down the upper flipper then you hit the upper loop to collect a destruction jackpot also you can play tesla mode tesla mode is started by hitting these blue stand-ups straight up the middle of the playfield there's three of them hit those enough and tesla mode starts you rip through the center spinner to light blue shots around the play field outside of that you can change cities once you've played a mode it'll allow you to change cities if you go to a new city it'll give you a carnage bonus for the destruction you caused in that city and in the next city you can continue to play tanks tesla bridge and more modes including more valuable tier 2 modes finally allies are lit by doing well in modes and multiballs you can get purple 2x playfield yellow left outlane ball save or green at a ball in multiball you collect these by shooting the scoop you can light and collect all three at once that's godzilla that is godzilla now let's see what carla's going to do with it is there a way to get this bigger uh oh sorry yes sorry i need to take it off studio mode it is totally on me thank you everybody now we go back to all games here's carlos playing forgive me so many buttons involved one thing to know about this godzilla is that the right ramp is extremely late on the left flipper yeah everything is very late on the flippers so you're gonna see some early shots nice live catch all right deborah you ready to sub in deborah tomlin everybody my best friends and we're wearing matching hats that's how you know we're we're besties i'm going to keep it like this for him well maybe i'll switch it i got i'll just wait turn around and then you can tell that it's the same you got whipped yeah i was playing with chad and i got tail whip tail whipped i got tail whipped on this game earlier it was so sad oh oh okay i thought that was going to be bad and it was it was fine but it wasn't okay so we're in sort of multiball time a little bit sure so that was a good recovery wow by both you and carlos you see personally my hot take hot take i don't like but what happens when you don't hit it where does it go to the flipper it's amazing really yeah that's really really i lost with that game i that up pardon my language everybody so sorry i did not get to win when i just let it go past the upper flipper it came down on the left tip and then bad things with the slings and then i think i got left outlanes that's not how you do it okay nice you did it better than me that's around that saucer there's no rubbers and things to save the ball from going out the out lane so you really need a lot of momentum a lot of velocity to get that ball off of the top of the sling she's not wrong you guys i am okay uses the side flipper which you know how i feel about the side flipper quite frankly it seems like you and he are not aligned oh and that was risky i got a nice easy in lane there we go he wants to get the scoop here no he needs to the rip the flipper i mean the right ramp still oh right that was a beautiful catch so he's doing all the other things right but the right rampage is not happening ironically because that's usually the easiest shot in the game no yeah am i not wrong well wait hold on you confused me with your double negatives [Laughter] usually the right ramp is the easiest i think you're right am i not wrong boom you're never wrong why do you force me to say that so he has some progress on mecca no mecca yeah he's making a godzilla he's in jet right now right if you get 10 jets you get multi or a extra ball which is worth like something thank you i didn't know that i go for jet and i don't know why i just want trains and trains trains really yeah have you have you had the super trains yet is that a new code update recently is it is that a recent update oh my golly never mind it's only on the oh good golly miss molly isn't that quote from this game yeah that sounds like it polly miss molly double jackpot oh my goodness you missed the right riff again i didn't know he nailed it right i know yeah the game wasn't right he did the game wasn't right the game lied it wasn't me okay gosh i was getting eaten alive by that out lane right lane all right super spitter super spinner 25 million nice oh that was beautiful double danger tim no you knew you knew it was happening you knew it is sensitive it's so sensitive sensitive like me y'all okay oh my gosh this is ball one that was ball one play that was ball one player two eighty five eighty five that's fine cute little star did he ever get a mode he had jet fighter but i didn't see him battling any like like he got a mode yeah which one was he like was it dory which i don't i don't blame them because oh my gosh deborah you're getting nod i'm running away now okay bye i'll be back i'll just talk to trent for a bit trent my best friend all right welcome thank you thank you well you've been sitting here you know oh yeah i need to i'll switch my hat around oh no okay it would have been cool i'm wearing the exact same hat as deborah at the moment yes i can tell yeah well thank you yeah this hat by the way is for solid state pinball out of kansas city carrie wing and snaps she's making some moves lately i hear yeah she's doing very well if only i lived in wisconsin she's in kansas city well you know what i mean though oh you live next to a whopper farm all right nice nudge obviously i was playing against chad earlier and he got 200 million ball won but that's the thing you know you play great one game and then the next well sometimes there is a little bit of luck up involved yeah so yeah on the player two he got 85 million never qualified a battle he couldn't hit the right yeah well jeff fighter i think he finished which is a pretty good point that's where all of his points came from yeah he probably maybe you get to get the extra ball um and it also it'll let you let you an ally as well and there's no ball safe here which hurts that hurts so bad all right carlos let's see what we got here yeah so carlos did a lot of progress yeah he's got a he's got an ally lit yeah and i think he has multiballed it yep you're right oh so he got over the 2x yeah oh and it got the goat all right let's see what modi chooses gigan no okay i agree with this yeah that tanosaurus is a good mode for if he's got 2x it's only five shots and he's close to multiple it's so hard to hit from the left i'd rather from the right yeah and it's really hard to postpass it is off that left flipper you're right early there it is that's the shot okay so we're we have 2x running we have stand-ups are valuable right now because of his tairo yeah whatever the gaijin battles are going to be where he wants to go oh this isn't the newest code it's not no because the newest code uh gives all of the balls to the oh it does i don't know why it didn't but it does uh it won't um the way the code is written if the first if there's a switch on the playfield will hit it immediately drops all those balls that might be there so my guess is it either missed it or oh oh well he did it probably all right got another no he's got the major target left yeah he's making good progress in his mode yeah which is which is where all his points are with the 2x running yeah i just need to cap the ball and he's good there did you get it oh he missed it yeah he could backhand that i don't know well all right um nice final blue 40 humidity yeah i'll give him almost a hundred on that move right there mothra so his left out lane is lit for a ball safe oh yeah that's the most common drain i think is the right outline it's very dangerous over there which it's different now this coat actually has the oxygen remover on it which is not on for the tournament which functions pretty much the same as a million dollar shot and envy very fast break it goes down that out lane uh it'll light the center shut up for i think 10 seconds oh i have never uh played a game that has that enabled but then if you hit it gives you the ball back cool i like that a lot in nba fast break it's very exciting yeah that's one of the cooler features i think that was the first time they did anything like that thank you sean for correcting me in the chat thank you my glasses are only a fixture that i need to see clearly which right now pinball yes yeah [Music] okay let's see what he's gone destruction only 7 million [Music] i this is the only uh situation where i do use the side flipper on this game it's only if i have a destruction jackpot yeah without seeing where that ball is going to land sometimes it gets kind of rollable nice dead bumps i like that a little early still a little early still that's dangerous that's okay actually never mind okay very nice rhodium to get it to 2x nice good decision good awareness yeah so he's still on guy tough to finish with gigan these ramps are a little tricky to hit all right good start yeah he's got baltimore but now so very good start look at this great ramp come on a little early yeah just a tiny bit earlier oh has there you go nice oh look at that mecca's also ready oh he's trying to get godzilla right now probably there we go very nice so you see right there it didn't hit the mag and it'll drop as soon as i hit the switch okay so he's going to be thinking about ramps right now because he's still in his mode yep for another 50 seconds uses those but that's okay kind of nice to clear the play field it's the apollo 13 strategy yeah too many balls all right still has 2x running right now he has another he has another summon an ally on the scoop so there's an out of all potential oh it's gone okay let's see what he does here destruction jackpot builds 2x solemn it's okay multiple nice good shot yeah that look for all three inserts so now if you can get it into the side uh orbit it'll give him an imposter award i agree dr blueberry johnson it was a little bit of an odd decision to start multiple i had gigan live because it is harder to complete well you also don't want to risk would you rather have more balls in the playfield and like you said you can always let two of them drain and concentrate on getting those last few ramps that's true they had so many left still did he finish uh yes i think godzilla controls uh tokyo oh yes oh yeah you're right you did say that okay let's see about this carnage bonus he has nothing with the base which is fine yeah because still uh he'll advance everything else toward his next city yeah and you can saucer you have to go in through here that'll light your saucer without hitting the upper switch on the right orbit and if you then chats the right in lane to hit the pot bumper it'll give you two sausages instead of one oh really yes and you need three for saucer attack okay well let's see if carlos ends up doing that because you know he loves the shot so much on stretch all right good shot towards the tank oh dangerous yeah don't really that's upper hey ball save you get like two seconds of ball safe that ever orbits kind of dangerous in general if you get it halfway up and on but on this machine with both rubbers removed and the right outline it turns out to be very dangerous yeah it's even more dangerous it's uh again so i don't like to use a side flipper but on game like um avengers it kind of forces you to use the side flip at least on that game at least on this one the geometry does yeah it sets a nice speed to the left most of the time yeah it just takes a lot of restraints not to flip that all right geigen a popular choice for battle yep five five shots big points yeah especially in combination and on let's see oh nice shot that's so clean i love it a little late i mean little red nice live catch nice still early on that ramp though yeah still early on that ramp though yeah that ramp's got a narrow entry point now hookers are getting a little tired maybe the right one seems to be doing okay of course it's a little later on that flipper oh is he an ebra no no okay yeah i agree yeah but geigen's just a little difficult because the right ramp is now he's got yeah that right ramp is uh becoming a problem yeah if you're going to half ramp that ramp like five times you kind of feel like you're like all right i deserve that drain yeah it's okay that's fine all right let's see what frank can do who is that you can hear on this one do you hear that i heard it that's the does he have his he doesn't have battle lit yet no not yet this left ramp situation is so unique because it feels more of an orbit shot right the left ramp yes and the cool thing about it is uh if you short it it ends up feeding like an organ shot yeah and you can choose the and i don't i can't think of any other game that's done that because of the narrowness of that shot it comes back clean and not away from the flipper yeah and sometimes that's fortuitous if you have the destruction jackpot oh yeah and you half ramp the left ramp yep you got to get a clean shot right yep exactly barely kiss that magna grav account one of the new uh godzilla power ups is adding time to your destruction jackpot that's true in case you miss it yeah the destroy the um the power ups were an interesting addition to this already yeah very cool and then on tournament mode they are in a standardized order it's also how you get towards monster zero it's monster zero and also uh whatever that mini mechagodzilla mode is which i think is power up number five that looks like he had it did not oh okay well he does have his battle lit now correct i think he hit the left right so you sure that's yours okay i just want to make sure because i thought i'm always sitting here i didn't want you taking a drink yeah it's not that it's making me play better or anything but it's helping me play longer well that's always good to play better longer more like it doesn't hurt to play pinball as much i'm talking about my gloves chat i am a new convert to fingerless cushioned gloves okay all right he's got uh so this will be able to add to his godzilla multiple or maxilla multiball base jack did you play godzilla already i think he played goods good point good call good call otherwise would you do regular godzilla it depends on what i'm closer to you know sometimes like if you were if you're playing a game where you can easily backhand that spinner sometimes i'll pick mattella backhanded a little bounce off the left over to the right and just keep doing that to light the multiball or at least like the shield this one i just feel like it's so dangerous getting the ball anywhere around that pop and this little candy cane shot cares about it and he's still on green on his vet godzilla too collects another tank that's always nice i wonder where he's at i haven't seen too many tech multiballs today they're another thing and he got a rampage letter nice what's your biggest rampage for the start for the left orbit with the lit jackpot bridge he's almost that bridge yeah right right over we're getting multiball there it is got it so all those shots a lot of each color and when you get so many of them the super will light up where is the super uh i think the first super is on the captive ball oh really and then the second or the third one is this this right orbit the small red orbit next to the bot bumper yeah so that spot it all is going to catch the ball for the super yup which i think he hit no he hasn't hit it nice going towards that super [Music] jackpot so now you should have and there's a super oh he's got one more on the right ramp nice shot just the right ramp and then now all the lights are lightweight up yep nice shot to the left out takes one for the road takes two for the road so you can get this oh very nice it's perfect again i like the decision i'm not using the left flip or letting it come down to the bottom flippers yeah it's and it's a nice feed on this game i've been seeing that a lot lately he's got one saucer attack [Music] should we get a little bit more than probably what was necessary but only gets one danger out of it [Music] nice safe that was so nice okay yeah i can't see the tanks either there's a tank on the spinner and left spinner yeah no the there it is it was zoomed in too far or whatever and you literally couldn't see how much tank progress oh gosh this is always a tough one yeah i mean if you have so i guess if you're half done or something then you want to yeah you want the time bonus but he did uh titanosaurus already right oh you picked that makes sense he's been nailing this spinner okay i think that was his tank multiball start take multiball is an interesting one yeah it's fine oh he needs one more all right so tank multiball there's two things nice i love it when it goes left or right from that yeah now this is an interesting super jackpot shot right one that you which uh the mystery that's also the mystery target yeah it is um which are also preset on competition mode i want to say the second or third one is hedera hedorah oh yeah which if you have a long ball can we wear some pretty good points yeah there it is oh and there's not a little early you got the extra ball for 50 million though 15 million was it 15 million standard and going 2x it's 100. some more ever shots this is still in this mode he is running power line and tank still looks like well well now he's out yet although he said modric yeah his car is probably looking good for the city so bridge he's got the left orbit ramp with it there we go nice tesla oh maybe it's tesla yeah i was tested that was a little left ramp inner loop side orbit that was so good look at that 600 million knot that was a strong score right there yeah all right that's it that's that's the score of chase yep [Music] all right joe's back up oh that was so good i'm cute of course we've all done this on our home godzillas or whatever but this one's playing so tough and it's he's got hedorah nice so much pinball today and yesterday carlos has gotten like how much sleep in the last 24 hours i don't know i don't know some people like negative two negative two hours of sleep uh it doesn't look like it oh oh you want to do a little yeah that is not what you want to do all right still strong score at just shy of 300 minutes where are we on now this is ball three ball three uh player three no this is ball three player three oh yeah all right so carlos is sitting pretty i noticed nobody's scanned in since we've been here i don't like too well in tournament all right rodon so he's got 2x playfield is it rodon or robin rope ryden rohan rogan rogan nice nice left left oh just misses it that's okay that's okay that's good refraining from the upper loop still struggling with the right ramp take it easy it's fine decision it's fine decision secret combo every little bit else i've only gotten like hooked to four or five i'd like to know what they are oh early again if you have to do them in order or whether just count them up as you do one of them early again it just it just whenever you get one of them it calls it number one number two oh he's uh careened his way into the multiball here or got it lit chad my friends you're shooting too late early i mean he's abandoning the right ramp yeah exactly good strategy okay he does have multiple ones so he wants to get his battle in there before he starts multiball he's going for the multiple yeah he needs a lot of points well all right that's fine you know just get some flow maybe he'll figure out that right ramp situation he's played this game against me and got like a crap ton of points ball one so he knows where these shots are this weekend on this game yeah like in the quarterfinals okay [Music] ah it doesn't make it up there all right so he doesn't have anything else that with this multiball he's really just wanting to yep pack out some stacking this multiball break in a few jackpots and then the center's lifting with no rubber right there that's what i'm saying it's so dangerous so dangerous he's getting all those back because he just has a ball saved for days if all saves still is on he's getting that back too [Music] you say super combos oh nice stage look at that stage very nice uh someone thinks he's got an edible extreme it's just confusing because i didn't see that he got the other ball from all right well now regardless his ball saves out there you go oh okay all right jail breaks but fine decision still in it still in it yeah oh is that his super light right now yeah his super spinner's lit no super jackpot was laid on the center monster zero is real cool real real neat yeah it's fun okay he is more comfortable with the left ramp than the right ramp like definitely it's much easier to hit says no one ever yeah usually the left ramp is much easier to hit on this game on this one correct yeah yeah oh you got a tank attack nice so he's also got power up godzilla power up to it and it looks like probably three is also ripped oh yeah you're right oh oh nice little i don't know what to call that it doesn't make it up i love the innovations with [Music] the godzilla producers and art directors didn't do a lot during that tank yes guys did back in the day all right he's got destruction jackpot lit it's got three [Music] that's a good start oh this is it late oh he's got another shot oh ding side flipper rooting it again okay so chad is sitting at third right now 157 total cranks up this would be interesting if shag is last and frank gets third they'll be tied of course they have another ball i mean another game it's just a game three or game two game two so he's got battle lit and something else left that mini wallet if it does drain down the middle we'll give you a ball save i think two times in the game as well as awarding you a shot game three is hot tip [Music] situation right there all right it has this multiball lit which easier said than done yeah so it's interesting if you uh if you shoot that last center shot up the middle with the light the multiball the magnet always pitches it just give us the animation tell if it's lit because i don't think you get any award for that all right so starts this multiball he doesn't have a battle coming into it but again yeah i really felt comfortable he's got guy going oh does he i thought he did yeah you're right it's yellow guy again nice so it's okay it's not one battle is better than no battle right yeah okay we are having a request from eric to send some sam dogs and chat please where oh if you're a subscriber that's where you get it very nice sam dogs have been so such good boys this uh this weekend uh apologies to them for all of the errant steps uh they they tend to lay down right behind someone playing yeah they back up it's kind of amazing with all the the noise all the people around them standing around them and they're just like this is it eric must not kick a lot when he blows oh nice got a 34 million super there that's cute he's up with the 4x jackpot left ramp which i want to say this multiball is very similar to the high roller casino multiball where he went from singles to doubles to triples to quads with supers in between nice right round oh nice 5x you should have yep super right there 65 million 2x ah oh tap that okay nice dang oh come on here we go nice godzilla multiplayer nice godzilla multiball very nice wow so he's chasing he's chasing seconds right now uh yeah he's 10 yeah he's 10 million away which i'm guessing is yeah at that point i would have stopped to check my bonus just to see where i was [Music] yeah it's just three million bonuses gonna put him a little short okay well brilliant come back though yeah just short five million wow okay well i suppose i can put i mean chet do you want to see the tutorial for hot tip we were just on it well we may have some new viewers that don't know what yeah we're going to play hot tip i'm checking out this from augustine with tilted amusements elizabeth for having us in here and justin's coming back heck yeah thanks for the hat track into a top saucer you will see different awards up top if you hit the sling up top it will change that award once you land in the salsa you will collect that award and also advance your bonus you can either collect various amounts of points or you can collect double bonus if it's on the red or you can light the captive ball if it's on white if you like the captain ball the captive ball is now worth 30 000 points and you shoot it into the target into the back and that will get you 30 000 points also when the ball comes down to the pop bumper area you have the hot tip drop targets these are very important because the first time you hit all six down you will light the spinner for a thousand a spin the second time you hit them down you will light extra ball at the saucer on the left which also awards five thousand points and advances your bonus the third time down all the drop targets will be worth a thousand points and once you knock them down for a third time the fourth run through the drops they are worth ten thousand points apiece for the rest of the ball you can advance bonus also by the little target here in the pop bumper your goal is to get spinner lit keep ripping through the spinner and going up top until you have double bonus and then max out your bonus with help from the captive ball and the target in the pot bumper area you can have max bonus of 200 000 points that's hot tip okay so right now we're not we're not actually in a division yet we're going gonna we're gonna be in b division here for a second so let me

wouldn't be here so thank you true same here i didn't know about pinball until i went to arcade legacy is that wild i was busy playing tomb raider i'd still be one of those folks like pinball you mean from like when i was a kid i always thought pinball was cool i just didn't know about tournaments i just forgot it was a a competitive thing right exactly so thank you arcade legacy and thank you to everybody who has oh that was a tough read they're yeah i'm not yeah no no you know that was i'm gonna say that was a little user error on that no i don't know i think the game said yes that's what it said it was like yeah but no you haven't no yes it is yes i'm going to hold on to yes and i like that yeah 9 30 is not that late you're right gamer is not the app it's five o'clock somewhere 10 o'clock am it's 5am somewhere yeah all right there's willy trying to hit the cap to ball since it's lit all right gonna add a little bonus there no double bonus yet that's the big that's the big thing on this game yeah nice nudge willie allen saved that took some guts to not flip on that one hey you're allowed to be excited for a bonus yeah i'm not that excited all right that's true oh guys watch this replay oh yeah i need to see that just watch that's fantastic hey you're allowed to be excited for a bonus yeah i'm not that excited all right oh guys watch this replay that one hurts doesn't it that sling right there it looks so good it looked like oh for sure that's going to activate you know you and i and willie all thought for sure and then he got absolutely short slinged is right here's the problem you know what game is next to hot tip bad girls it's just being like bad bad bad bad bad bad that's all right willie short slinged that hurts aaron miller is going to come up next although i haven't seen aaron since he got mad and stormed out he may have gone home we'll have to wait around see if aaron comes back oh did that happen is that why there's a score that's like nothing uh yeah it didn't go great for aaron the first time around really no way he has four points he's still in no i just mean in this game he you just had a bad bad okay here it comes all right come on aaron oh i hear you i hear i feel you bud uh the game doesn't care about your feelings i feel you look he's he just saw the scores yeah that's hard to chase but you know what again we're not that far along right i think we're on ball four maybe i can't i can't see it but we're not that far away i have to win to have a chance joe says okay you both need to not pay attention deborah goes so much [Music] that's what deborah's telling him i think deborah made that happen actually i sort of blame her for some reason yeah do you have two balls let's hear what they're talking about you're good you're gonna be fine that's what i'm saying yeah you have two balls to make that happen i only have one [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right they're encouraging each other i think i can't tell if they're fighting or helping i can't tell you it's a fight encouragement where oh that guy aaron feels like he's out of it and deborah's like no you can still do it like this is how this is how it goes yeah so that's a interesting take there friends can i tell you we are 44 out of 50 subs that we were totally like crazy moon goaling for tonight 40 we're six subs away from our like moonshot goal of 60 subs so if you're even remotely interested and you have prime amazon prime give us a prime sub they're free oh that's not what deborah wanted from that one a little bit of hockey at the bottom there we would love to have you subscribe hear it straight down the middle pinball also just while we're transitioning folks remember cincinnati which we are sponsored by is coming up in december first weekend in december it's a huge pinball tournament and expo in the birthplace of pinball cincinnati ohio 1871 a fellow named montague redgrave englishman you know this 151 years ago on the spot that is now the cincinnati convention center he publishes something called improvements to bagatelle oh brie is not going to be happy with that that was rough and he invents modern what amounts to modern pinball advancements yep improvements to bagatelle 1871 he publishes this thing he tilts the table he adds a plunger he puts on these special gates with pins in vince pinball all right that is what i think of kendall when i hear pimples that's it cincinnati ohio yeah all right all right bree and willie we're up and down we're back to aaron miller on ball five now look they left the door open right they both had a rough time [Music] [Applause] we're at that time of the evening yeah yeah sometimes pinball sounds a lot like beer that's the ten thousand a bonus oh oh yeah no no oh no no oh that is not what he wanted son of a biscuit he said thank you for that cheer loader breath thank you again biscuit i'm sure it's not so funny my right ear right now thank you thank you load of breath and also joe soap says the brisbane master starts in six days the eggplant is in 12 days it sounds like we got a lot of events to get to i'm here i'm just trying to get into the kentucky tournament kentucky oh yeah yeah what's holding you back [Laughter] oh you're a fantastic pinball i have no doubt you're gonna make that one all right i gotta play more i'm traveling too much more than double my score all right he wants to buy the game so he can burn in yeah this is it this is your b division final ball ball five oh deborah tallman says t.o i think she's texting somebody perhaps hopefully it's not me should i text her you're doing great oh that's fun a picture of us oh please send that to me that's awesome all right let's see what debra can do she does have double bonus lit great start great start but that is not the whole game you now got to build up that bonus she's looking i want to let the game know how excited you are she's at 40 000 so she is she's in second place let's see if she can catch up on that 673 to get to first that's going to be debra pay attention to the game deborah maybe this is how she thrives i don't know eric intervened in case there was a td call but she was just more saying thanks for the coaching i think deborah is telling aaron that it's possible to catch the ball in the flip oh is that what it was okay she was proving him wrong okay awesome or that she saved something i thought she was saying thanks for telling me something but no she's saying i proved you yeah that's what that was whatever it was she's like oh oh oh just up over that right slightly okay transfer no drop target drop target yep hit that last eye come on oh okay there it is yes yes there it is good grip so that spinner's lit picks up the uh bonus advance bonus is currently at uh 120 000. goods it's fine okay it's late deborah was too early before she drained she's still too early but she didn't drain i actually think she might have missed the flipper did you hear a slap she might have just missed the i don't know whatever that was a really valiant effort a really cool ball from deborah thompson so that's going to put her in second place so this is how it's going to finish willie allen number one in the b division this is willie allen's championship for the b division number two and b is going to be deborah tallman number three is going to be brie reynolds oh that was it yeah that was it and number four in the b division is going to be aaron miller so i think that's how that's going to work right because of the points am i right on the points no deborah's not going to catch up i'm wrong willie allen is going to take one bree um willie bree deborah aaron thank you so that's it that's our b division right there how about we uh stick around for the a what do you say i say yay i also say yay to this so here's what we're looking at we're going into our a division finals this is it this is this is the big match for the night i want to call deborah over here to ask her she missed the clipper button but like it might be too soon it's too soon it's too soon yeah yeah you don't want that was fun though all right okay carlos de la sierra oh look at those gifted thank you outlaw pinball thank you for those subs oh my gosh guys guys we're four away we're four subs away from our moon 50 sub goal for this tournament we're four away and if you're a prime

folks time are you telling thank you heimer prime gaming that was a quick sub love it one sub away from our big moonshot goal today of trying to bring pinball to the masses everywhere that people want to watch pinball sorry i mean we are watching kimball the question is who's going to be that last place up who is it frank young has had a hell of a day i need to see that again that was confusing to me let's see oh i need to see that again it's just another weak sling the sling did not respond it's just that angle it goes right down do you want to hear it do you want to finish with us you are my best friend you could be anybody's best friend as long as i get the end he just wants the end you guys what does it all mean for the record i might have had it if i if my flipper hit on the left flipper and hit the flipper all the way no actually it fluttered a little bit but it's just not enough [Music] gloves off you did not i know i see that that was our 50th subscriber we did it thank you good job guys who was the last one i have to tell you justin is excited about this now we just need a projector and a white sheet yeah i'm ready all right what's happening more hot tip my favorite game scott oh maybe if oh my gosh i said it wrong thank you chad gosh chad has issues on this game wow can we talk double bonus yes did you see that did you see that i wish i was chad chad's good i saw that body language that was rough oh no no no he shook himself out i don't know i don't know i'm sorry what ball is this that's ball one though that's 284 okay we may or may not have a side but going uh and carlos and chad and frank jung are all implicated are we beyond talking like uh skill and like technique are we just like emotionally reacting at this point okay sorry hey hey chad you should like flip later oh my god did i not say that he did everything right and then he flipped early i was like why did you do that again but we've all been there to do that yeah he is a captive ball player which is rare on this game well maybe he doesn't seem scared a little bit weird he doesn't care he doesn't care it's all fine the game only i was like where is he going we have a dollar stop we have a minute left on the hype train we need more heights we need more emotes y'all hype there's those doggos yeah we're not even doing we're not talking about hype trains right now we're talking about points yeah eric we're talking about points like we have oh hit it hit it later don't be that guy oh it was just doing that yeah but i do like come to like oh the scoop i i thought it was pure skill he got it later he did the later it's almost like he can hear us [Music] oh that was nice give him some double bonus y'all oh my god i need to stop saying that success yes i praise success very nice what is the definition if we ripped a spinner there was success beautiful okay saucer i like that let's get that double bonus i'm just going to start saying everything just insane you know me yes the drop catch is real see if you drop catch then white what's your plan after the drop catch that's all i wanted to drop catch or not to drop catch to drop catch repeatedly justin okay so they want to hit down the hot tip targets just in case we're not all on the same page just in case you haven't watched a lot of hot tips and you probably talked all about the strategies and how i wasn't following them and uh the flippers are a little high steppy so it took me a while to realize even on like the left flipper that i should not flip so quickly yeah you can stop it look at this no that wasn't a nudge that was a fake nudge all right i'm kidding one more drop oh oh that was beautiful chad you're my hero keep doing that [Music] they're beautiful oh that that oh he was lucky is that was an unfair bounce back but he's gonna it's gonna stay there there it is nice chad you're so good at this and what was that chad you were less good at that chad okay [Music] don't insert screwed by an answer talk to that guy where's our projector and our white sheet and the other stuff and that third thing wait i'm not ready for the next player that was intense i get we've seen that every game three times now no no that was intense did you get it we've seen that every game three times now that was brutal ladies and gentlemen we have seen that drink so many times there's just nothing about that okay okay carlos is unperturbed going for captives hitting the captive oh that was cute he's gonna captive all day long dude my entire commentary just then was just hard sorry is your right ear doing okay so giesky here is she's smart she's articulate and there have been times on the stream where i've just been like you sound like adam's family and you did that just now maybe less adam's family like no it's not like but i was like i was like all right maybe i'm not a complete hey i mean idiot okay so we just saw the double bonus dream strategy yeah it's bad when you can talk through a short story and someone's ball is gone at that point but like you gotta you gotta you drain a piece yeah you have to have a thing to double oh chad chad baby baby you know he's good and he's new on the scene y'all i owned that one florence florence y'all if anyone in the chat knows what florence y'all is i appreciate it oh that was not very chadlike he did it on purpose if you miss it like that you get a nice bounce bounce off oh that was scary his patience is admirable he's going straight for drop drops to outlane oh yes he drops out lane strategy yeah is that yours two are you are you also like leading after ball three or four or whatever like we can't see oh it is three there you got the water tower story earlier that happens are we just that obsessed with the water we need water y'all y'all okay all three i keep forgetting to look at the scores i'm just like watching okay so player four admittedly is coming back from a little bit of a deficit um but he is the split spinner he has the power of the chad and the luck of the carlos yeah oh see he's going straight for that he's going for the captive ball beautiful nudge double beautiful nudge and yeah that was nice that was party all right drop catch that and that was not even a drop catch that was just a pick up your flipper you know what i want flippers that look like baseball guys what about bananas we have those and carrots these flippers are bananas carlos oh straight to the not captive more tappy to the not no no that's a parlor trick y'all don't don't be fooled stop playing with your food he hasn't hit the captive ball one time it's later than that i told you i told you i told you i told you i told you yes done with that out of here hot tip are we standing he wants us to stand okay what's happening here's mice we are on our feet and so is justin justin's like stand up or else we're up here get in closer yeah this is yeah if we're standing then we're here let's do this so we're in ball four of the finals game and we just saw some killer tap passing but and chad's about to get into the points yeah no that was some cute tap passing chad's ahead but not by a ton yeah chad's doing so well keep it up josh all right chad look at him look at him holding the ball you get points for game time you know the longer that ball doesn't die damn it chad oh this could be it no no no no never come on all right we can see it from joe bear here this is the i could i can barely hear you that's fair hello so joe bear this is his fourth ball there's a last ball on ball four and then it's all coming down to one more so let's see what you can do joe so what ball are we on was that it no no no no that was ball [Music] why did we stand on ball four i'm i'm upset i know but why do we start on ball four with a standing okay okay so if joe wins and carlos or carlos were to get fourth they'd have to play a tiebreaker if carlos gets anything but fourth he walks away with this one what did he get did he get fourth no no he's got third right now justin's pontificating over here joe can ruin it look joe's so close yeah but what if he doesn't but what if he doesn't all right i mean so and frank and chad are now the disruptors right because they're both coming in with one point i have ten dollars on this chad guy so he's more than a disrupter to me if either of them wins then they are throwing off joe's chance of winning joe has to get first here carlos has to get left in order oh that's very nice he's catching up he's catching up with a passion oh he's coming back on easy good you can't just count the youngster youngster no luck there he's an old mate oh he saved it that was gorgeous we all know how clutch that was to the drops to the drops drop drop drop drop drop [Music] [Applause] [Laughter] [Music] aaron is invested oh no they lost their feet is it still live did aaron do it from exuberance the feed got gone because of aaron he got caught okay so that wasn't enough it wasn't but it was such a beautiful run i can't even believe it okay so he's currently in second chad is impressed that's what's up don't shake her oh my goodness we've lost signals that sucks that's ten thousand uh the ball is still on the play field uh good nudge good nudge good nudge oh yeah oh [Music] spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin okay there you go there you go [Music] no no you have it [Applause] [Music] all right so it comes down now if joe bear can get above 576 he is now going to walk away in a one game tie with carlos what happens if chad wins uh other than me getting ten dollars if chad wins he's going to only get up to five so carlos is going to walk away with the overall win but this is joe's chance to be a major disrupter to carlos de la sierra carlos de la cerda i like how you speak the whole name out loud oh he's got spinner lit super lit super lit oh he's in he's in he's in it oh no oh he's coming back he's coming back he's coming back all right he's walking it up he's walking off okay oh he's hitting it again spinner [Applause] nice nice nice captive oh he's our spinner yeah so carlos is staying at eight points math is hard [Music] someone just said that's some serious content so that's it i mean so right now we have carlos wait did you want to did you want to check out with him for sure she's trying to peace out i'm just afraid that like eric's gonna be like everybody's gotta get out and i don't get to play game of thrones no we get to play and so when we stop because it's saturday night okay well regardless thanks chad you've been wonderful this has been so very exciting i hope i didn't like hurt your ears too bad with my constant screaming there was some sweating from all of us yeah a little bit but yeah so this has been fun i love commentating i i found a real joy in this so i thank you justin for for letting me step in um super fun here and i kudos to the standing up bit that was actually fun because that was good yeah that that was needed thank you justin for making us stand up that was daddy now that was so very exciting all right well i hope you guys see you thank you yeah and um have fun it looks like they have some they got a tiebreaker yeah it's only just begun thanks hey elizabeth can you do me a like a little favor yes if you see eric it'd be like game of thrones is right next to big game i'm not gonna be able to play no you can play okay i'll just hit loops on doctor who or something go for some grand prix and then switch to game of thrones oh that's true yeah i could try shadow again gosh that game was so big girls bad girls big house big house same diff big bad house girls big bath all right friends we got a tiebreaker going don't we we're now going to big game for second and third so so you can ignore what it says here about finals i'm going to get rid of that friends how exciting was that how exciting was that it came down to joe bear possibly disrupting carlos de la cerda's big victory he went in with eight points and it almost got left to a tie between the two of them he was ripping that spinner over and over and over he had his rhythm but this is pinball boom one miss and drain so we know we have our winner we know we have our our first place carlos de la cerda who will join me here hopefully with any good luck and we're going to watch two and three carlos congratulations on your win that that came down to what was joe bear going to do that made it interesting it did did you get a little nervous at some point no no i mean if he i knew he wasn't uh he was a little nervous or like he was down on himself nervous he was like it was really a shock to the partner you know i mean he was oh for sure yeah you want to say goodbye to the streamer okay yeah for sure so we're watching uh the first plunge of this playoff but come on in and say uh i will say i'm sorry i'm super jealous because it is fun to commentate it's fun to play for a big game um but i just wanted to say thank you everybody you're all wonderful it was good to hang out tonight and uh congratulations carlos yeah we did a thing we played some pinball and justin your instincts are top-notch all right bye y'all we still got lots of pinball to play offline but carlos is walking away the nky open champion i was second last year oh my gosh deborah thank you for all the hard work tonight awesome all right so that was a pretty rough rough start yep again i think he's still feeling i don't know what it was maybe he got i don't know what it was maybe the pressure maybe the fact that his first ball a couple balls weren't very good or something i'm not sure but i can definitely tell by ball three he was like he was feeling it yeah he could tell okay body language and such i mean you came into that with eight points right against his four right and then two once and once chad blew up it started to blow it up i was like yeah he's got it chad's got it yeah but but that actually was helpful to you 100 percent that's why i wasn't chad yeah he almost did he almost did where i stopped my cat the ball strat i'm i'm fine with it i stuck with to the shot strat on stars and the captain ball tap pass this is the year do you see all this i did see that yeah this is the year of the lows right here yeah man you see we just have a stream full of congratulations thank you thank you everybody appreciate you amazing all right so uh joe's backball two gets a good plunge hopefully yep so on big game we're not going to play the whole tutorial right now because we're already in the middle of the game but basically the idea is if you can oh goodness let's hold oh he's not going to hold it yeah that release if you hold it and that upper flipper smacks the ball that's like not fun yeah he's gonna hope for a b here nope cut the eye survive the eye or not okay whatever spinner rip blitz cnk says i want to see the commentators play carlos on big house maybe we can make that happen after we're done i only pay for money cnk yeah yeah pony up no okay b no he wants that big yeah yeah if you can light b.i.g boy super helpful uh and i think the best way to do it after the plunge is just to keep going up that upper ladder so that it can kick out all right so here what do you just drop okay yeah go for those droppings the drops are light in those bingo targets nice do you kind of like shake it hope no she's going to the jeep and he had it lit very nice i mean 250 to 300. yes i do i'll eat a burrito every day and what's great is eric had uh chipotle catered yeah so i was able to basically eat what i normally eat when i play pinball so that's a good thing nice he plunged to the bee survived the bee yeah he's built those bingo cards oh okay all right he's trapped up on the upper right yeah what are you gonna do wait for the spinner that's what i do if i'm on the upper right i just wait for that extra light wait for the spinner up here to light and then shoot it now he's trying to back in some targets i think so for those of you who aren't familiar with big game these here are little bingo cards they light when you hit these drops that are all over the play field and wait for the spinner that's how you get a whole bunch of bonus oh but you can also spell big game around the play field you can see those letters illuminated here come on chad and you can see the letters sort of spread around the play field right what's nice is that big game carries over ball to ball yeah you got to get that b bro gotta get that b bro b for burrito b for burrito are you a burrito fan yeah i do like good burrito myself double wraps oh yeah nice because then because they always mess it up plus sometimes they'll be like oh this is more space i should put more stuff in i like when they put a layer of beans between the two layers you know what i'm saying just like a little extra insulation oh he's staying alive okay all right all right he's gonna hold on he's gonna wait yep you're gonna wait for the spinner that's it with the upper flipper that's so weird it is weird i'm not the biggest fan of this game i love the game i love vacations it's fine it's a fine game i love early stearns i love the game in general i hear you this game gave me five strikes yesterday give me this meteor sea witch i'm a happy camper i would prefer any of those but this it's fine now i really want a burrito thanks a lot guys yeah tater tots and a burrito oh thank you i mean he's sitting decent i mean not a bad show but yeah how do you get bonus access uh the bonus x that's a great question uh i is it by completing all drops i don't know that's why it might be completing all drops okay but i'm not sure that's a fair question he's just survivors okay he needs what 300k you need 300k what are you gonna do i mean we're on ball three so he's gotta get a backhand spinner very nice oh actually i don't know if he was going for the drops there i think he was going spinner because the spinner is lit you can see it's a thousand per spin up there yeah it's going big which could be real helpful right now okay so paul's gonna smack it okay there you go backhand very clever chad he's going to perfect oh he's doing math he's doing math that was a yeah so he's like oh my god golfer so he's he likes to line up shots you know i bet he squats when he plays golf you know yeah lines up really really he's also he's a super analytical guy and um he's willing to spend the time to figure out the map he's very stop and control and then have a plan kind of player i love his plan right now he's got the left spinner lit why not get it over to that left flipper upper flipper and then rip it oh no all right well that's gonna be it honestly chad was like wait i'm locked in for guaranteed third top three get money free i don't care because he won yesterday so he's already sitting pretty yeah i mean whatever but like but there we have it we have carlos de la sierra you in spot one yeah congratulations yeah we have joe baron spot two nice we have chad markham in spot three and in spot four it's gonna be frank young yeah that's awesome what shout out to frank frank uh he's always uh doubting his abilities i see him all the time playing in tournaments uh and his i don't know if it's self-confidence or what but he's always like oh as long as i'm you know whatever i'll be in the lower third i don't care blah blah blah it's like not bro you know what to do you know to play these games here all the time like just play bro yeah and then he today he's just doing his thing you know he did great i mean he showed up big today he played fantastic pinball and he kept saying oh i'm barely squeaking by and i was like yeah but you're getting it done exactly i mean we had 40-something players today i hope that today gets boosts his self-confidence as a pinball player i hope so too i mean he i think he's he's not he doesn't come to win he comes to play yeah so i think this the fact that he made it in a and it kept advancing yeah i think it's yeah it's great for him so so i mean reflecting on the day then you look back on you walked into this tournament at noon today i was here since yesterday i literally slept right there oh you slept right yeah i forgot about that so you were here last night here all but last night was not your best night no i it was a long day and it's classics and yeah whatever it's fine yeah it wasn't great i got like 20 something so what was your mentality coming into match play today um just getting to a groove i felt like i would barely i felt like i was still trying to read the bounces because he's got like a combination of rubbers he doesn't stick to one specific type of a band across the game right like in terms of post rubbers sling rubbers flipper rubbers uh he has like um some sort of cocktail of of types of bands and stuff so getting a read on the types of bounces was just awkward yeah so i don't know and i hadn't i'd been up for however many hours so i was just running on fumes ripskis so yeah and you were playing fall guy all night the night before yeah exactly so i got a little bit of sleep i was just trying to have fun because when i have fun that's when i start to play well so it was like i just kind of getting out of the like oh i got to get this you know tournament thing and more into just like like looking at what i'm where i'm at right like eric's hosting this in his house with his great collection his great stream he catered everybody's here we had the mike don brownies you know what i mean i don't know it was just a very once i got like comfortable then it was things were just happening yeah yeah yeah once you kind of relaxed into it yeah what it is exactly yeah um so did you have moments i'm always curious because you you played a obviously a really strong day did you have moments where you doubted how this was going to go and if so yeah uh pretty early on because i got a i can't remember what my the i wasn't getting any firsts and i was getting a lot of thirds and then i got like two or three first in a row at the end yeah uh and that bumped me into a decent spot so once i was in finals and it was like okay now it's it's like a whole i kind of realized you know there's the qualifying for everybody right and then there's the finals you just gotta get past the general prove that you can play pinball and then finals is where you do all the things so it was like just don't don't bozo out you know what i mean yeah you gotta like just show that you can i don't know it was just a mental thing your standards were like you need to get past qualifying yeah exactly and then play and then once we're there then you can do whatever and luckily uh the same bank was picked twice yeah uh i played in both of my finals round wait there were only two finals rounds right or there were three three quarters semis and finals so the bank the second round and the third round both had the same bank for me so i was already i already had a round on it and i was confident at least used to it warmed up or whatever so yeah uh it's not like i had to learn a new game or whatever get back used to it so that helped yeah that is nice um and you were in good company tonight i mean you played eric fear who was the 2018 winner you played eric wortenberger who's the 2019 winner we didn't have a winner in 2020. you played bill walburn who was the 2021 winner and now here you are the 2022. yeah our three previous winners yep that was awesome luckily i didn't actually have to play eric fear at all this weekend so everyone somebody else took care of that for me yeah boy he was doing amazing yeah uh jonathan 13 says congrats justin this was the best tournament or

here so everybody knows who you are there it is frank you had a monster night tonight my friend yeah congratulations i mean thank you very much yeah you played so well tonight and i know that you a couple points you were kind of self-deprecating about like i can't believe i made it but what was it like all night sort of riding this wave up to the final four it was a roller coaster right because every time i mean i had two um play uh playoffs essentially just to get to the next round yeah so um i started fairly well for me um i think like first and a second and stuff like that and then the usual what happens is the wheels fall off at two ports in a row and then after the break actually i finished strong which got me then into into the final which i'm exhilarated because i i was hoping to get into the b group not not even thinking about it wow and um at that point then um it was just you know it was a blur yeah just from from game to game and i was lucky i was pretty much in every game to string like one or two good balls together and eric's machines their setup means that that can that's sometimes that's all that that you need to to to continue so you played them so well you mean especially like hot tip like you ended up dominating on hot tip you had a couple of surprise come from behind wins that shouldn't be a surprise now that i've seen you play you're a great player thank you i appreciate it yeah man well i definitely there's a lot of things to learn because i you probably noticed i don't nudge that's just the skill set that i don't have at this point yeah so that's something i have to learn just to be more competitive and and hopefully i can repeat that again it's all accuracy man it looks like they're giving away prizes i don't want you to miss it all right i think you have some prizes coming congratulations thank you very much i appreciate it of course i don't want to miss this let's get a fantastic night tonight uh-oh infinity loop all right i'm
