Hello, friends. I'm so excited. How's it going, Rachel? Good. Could you hear me yelling all the way back here? Yes, I can hear everybody yelling in the whole uh place. Building ever. So, we're getting started right away. So, this is my new thing. Oh, this is a huge Did you have the screen? You did have the screen, but this is Yeah, I've had this before. Fox, it's Fox City's broadcast control coming to you live. Midwest Gaming Classic in beautiful Milwaukee. Classic. Hold on a second. Midwest Gaming Pinball. Midwest Gaming Pinball Championship is what we're playing today. I mean, you think I'd know the name. Alex. Yeah, he didn't want to sit down. No, no, he doesn't want to sit. He's not my friend. He's not your friend. I got like uh we're so excited to have everybody here in chat hanging out today. Is he We could put him in the noon qualifier. Yep. If there's room, you could put him in the noon, but it started. The tournament started. That's not our problem. So, yeah. people showing up lane unfortunately if you heard that friends just the way it is. We just had a player just show up and I'm like well I'm just going to put them are they in a three player group or uh Nope. We're just because they missed it. I think we have enough room to put them just into the noon group. So we'll just shove them into there. Works for me. Works for me cuz we'll get a couple more players in there. So we've got some sad beginning scores here on Black Knight Sword of Rage. Oh tiny. What the heck is this? They're little hands. Yeah, I got a cheer. That one's got a little burn on it. Must been having that man was having a good time. Tiny hands. You had to scratch your knee. You had to scratch your gash on your leg, right? Oh my god. That's such a big to show that on stream later. It's so ugly. Poor thing. Glad you didn't need stitches. Did you glue it? No, I just went back together. I had It's all Chris Matt's fault. H That's all right. He's got broad shoulders. He can handle that. So here Oh, he had a nice nudge. There was no danger. The games here are set up kind of tight, kind of mean, but we have a little lot of pinball to play. We have windows everywhere. You are going to see glare. I cannot help it. I'm sorry. Oh, did somebody say something on chat? Yeah, but there will be. Yeah, we talked about that. I should pin something in chat and just say and then you know we'll highlight every time. Nothing we can do about it. The only thing we could do is like were like longer. But one long ass temp. But the problem is is how do you have to stake those down? I think I don't know if I could find a I'm going to build a canopy that goes over the rig. Okay, you do it. He'll get you some funding. We'll get you some funding for that. I just I just need like an engineer to build it. Well, there's a couple engineers in the hobby and not the guy who built the uh the thing in the homebrew section. No, that's what I heard about. Holy cow. That crazy stuff. So, how's everybody doing today? Is the uh is everything are we sounding okay? And the player actually doesn't have that much glare on the game. It's just the direction from where the camera is. Yeah, the player doesn't see it. It's It's awful. You got to sling the out lane. That's it. I don't even think he flipped it. Sorry, giggle a little bit cuz like, you know, that's the you know, he got a lot of pinball to play in one day. He wanted the games to be, you know. There we go. A million skill shot. Million ski. Black Knight Pro is a great tournament. Yeah, Brian Shaw, he's a Milwaukee player, brought that. Thank you, Brian. Ryan. Oh yeah, Ryan. That's so cute. Ryan. Ryan Shaw. Okay. Same difference. I'm partially deaf. I think I I've lost hearing my right ear for sure. I know. From listening to my music to allowed in the car, I think, is what it's from. You know, driving home from D82 be bopping and loud music. Stay home. You know, stay awake to get home. So, uh, first of all, a big thank you to Rachel Risto who's in the booth right here. putting on this tournament also helping me drag all my stuff down with Alex and Matt. Yes. Without them, without Matt and Alex, uh MGC would also not exist. And thank you for coming and streaming the Solar Flare tournament again this year. Tom, I really appreciate you. No, it's fun. Uh big thank you to Dan Lucen, of course. Biggest thank you, all thank you to Dan Lucen and uh the whole MGC staff. Yes. Everybody worked very hard to get set to get this place set up. It's incredible. I was listening a little real on the news on something Milwaukee Channel. They had something about they said that uh MGC is the America's largest retro gaming convention. Oh, no kidding. No kidding. And so I thought that was fascinating. So here we are, Tom, streaming. Here we are. I'm like, and I run the pinball thing. Like that's nuts. Yeah. I just realized We can't really hear the game audio. I'm going turn. There we go. That should be better. Yeah, a little obvious. I want to hear all that. Oh, fudge. Crap. The double birds. We want to see the double birds today. That definitely more of that. Yeah. So, that didn't seem like a great ball, but actually was a pretty good ball in consern considering if you're looking at the other players scores. We know this guy. He's in our pinball league. This is Tyler Spindler. He brought Rick and Morty this weekend for the tournament. Fantastic game by Spooky Pimble. Yeah. I always play really well at Tyler's. Tyler's in Strange Ways. I play really well at their houses. Yours? I always play well at my house. Your house, not so much. No, I play I play Okay. The actually the only time the last time that I took first in our league night and I beat you on Wizard of Oz was at Tyler's house. Okay. And I keep that treasure in my pinball heart, Tom, because winning a league night there is hard stuff. Yeah. So, uh Tyler's got his war going. War and uh he's those flashing white shots. Looks like he's also got I believe the sandworm mode which I think so. Yeah. Yep. Nice. 5.8. He's got the power. So, look at he's really able to nudge this game. Doing a lot of good nudging. I don't think I've seen a danger from him, which is good. These tight tilts are extremely tight from what I Yes. saw yesterday in the pin golf. So, and they have to be. They just have to be. That's fine. It's street pinball, yo. You know, it's like No, street pinball would be throwing them around. That's street pinball. Well, I think street pinball because the games are going to be mostly playable, you know, like you never know what you're going to get kind of thing. Yeah. I hear a loud hum somewhere. Do you hear that? Uh, I hear it as well. I wonder if that's coming from TNA. Rachel's going to go check that out. In the meantime, John will be up. I'm just going to check something here. Okay, so no results have been entered. Let's uh one of the things I've done with the stream. Hey Pat, how's it going? Was great seeing you in Michigan. Yeah. No, the the humming's coming from a game. I I And it might be one next to it, so I apologize. if you're hearing that. Otherwise, if you're not hearing it, just ignore what I'm saying. Oh, that's way better. There's going to be, this is MGC, there's going to be a lot of background noises. There's going to be bands playing and singing and DJs and uh it gets uh it gets pretty loud in here. If you've you've ever watched us, we streamed it last year and it's just kind of something you just got to deal with. Meanwhile, his uh his war is ticking away here. Chris's got his extra ball lit. Uh on on your uh lower left of the screen, you're you're you should see some match results pop up as they come in. I kind of keep an eye on that today. 10 million for the extra ball. Yes, please. Welcome back, Rachel. Thanks. It was just TNA exploding out there. Aren't you glad I grabbed these cups? Oh my gosh, they are incredible. They're like super It's almost like sitting on a toilet seat that squishes down, you know? You're like, "Oh, settle in here." You know? Oh, man. I mean, so he put them all in lock. I saw lock back in. So TN is just flipping out out there, but they're going to finish the game and then we'll take care of it. You can play sounded like it went down. It did. I don't know. Maybe just turn the volume all the way off. Maybe that's a good idea, too. All right. I mean, as long as the game's playing fine. Yeah, the game's playing great. Cuz I remember that happening last year. I know, Tom. Hey, I remember all I remember all bad things. Oh, that's great. You're my bestie then. You lift my head. Absolutely. For sure. Correct. You got it. Okay. So, practice is allowed. Practice is allowed in between. Hey, don't lick my gloves. You don't know where those been, Matt. That is true. You do not know where those have been. Yeah. So, they can practice in between rounds during qualifying, but when we come to come to finals, there will be no more practice. Okay. So, you know, if you want to be a Midwest Gaming Champion and win a six-foot trophy, uh, you better be able to play, you know, some good pinball. So, Craig is like coming alive here. 10 million for that EV. Staying alive. High FPA stuff. Hide that jump. So that 10 million extra ball was great because that definitely pulled him into second and Tyler gets a nice little walk-off. I do hope he plays. He can play out that ball yet if he wants to play it out. Play it out. Unless he is. So that's his his energy. I don't see any matches entered yet. So and I got people over there scorekeeping. So I can sit here for a little bit. I can hide. Yeah. Take as many breaks as you can. Yeah. If that's my uh my only advice. Yeah, there will be a nap before tonight's activities. Not the right uh match play link. Hold on a second. Sure. Why down? Uh yeah. How do I see them? I'll fix that. And I'm going to assign Aaron to you for rig moving. Oh, that guy. That penny dude guy. That guy. Yeah, that one guy that's in chat sometimes. Oh god. Penny dude, right? Yeah. Penny wise Penny dude Penny. I know you are secretly. Why is Ryan Spindler giving me a thumbs up? Maybe because he won his game. I don't know which Spindler. We got three. We got the Spler. No, it was Ryan Spindler. All right, that that should be the correct link. So, there's a popcorn booth like directly across from where a streaming booth is. So, I want to know you're getting everybody popcorn. Yep. I want to know what time I'm going to have to go over and buy a bunch of popcorn for everyone. Like 1:30, 2:00, and then we'll be sitting in the booth eating popcorn. Stuck in my teeth. It does my mind, too. But they do have the pop. They do make popcorn or they have like pre- popcorn or ready popcorn that has pop pop that has um pop. Yeah. That has less pop. It has like less of a husk or shell. Okay. So, there is popcorn that's out there that doesn't get in your teeth as much. I'm gonna go flip this and see where we're at. Or unless you want to move the rig. I assume you're just going to move. Oh, there have been some matches added in. I'm going to go play it while it's just sitting here. I'm not going to move the rig just cuz I'm trying to figure out why this I'm going to go play. Let's see here. Why is that not popping up results? I got to refresh it. There we go. All right. There we go. Now, we're going to see. All right, Matt Carter won pinball pool. Mike Schlump with the last. He's working out this morning. Aaron Larson with the first on Alien Poker. Thanks, Pat. I I worked hard on that with AI because I have no coding ability, but but it was uh it was it had to be done. I I it's just it's just a lot nicer and cleaner to have that. And it seems to work pretty good, honestly. It's just getting it once I get it going then it's then it's it's a Dory with the first Dory with the uh the W the big women's win at uh at Pinball at the Zoo. I know uh I know Nick Wayne's here. He won uh he won the main at Pinball at the Zoo. Can't remember who won classics. I probably should know that, but maybe Pat maybe Pat knows uh Venom Joe won. So, and uh looks like we got Rick and Morty and Joker Poker still going. Wonder if Joker Poker is five ball or three ball. I'll be right back. I thought you were You're about to play. What? That was like a danger tilt. Oh, no. I got two dangers on the first move. Yeah, it doesn't show. It doesn't show warning twice on this. You know, the nice thing about Black Knight Pro is every copy shoots exactly the same thing. They never shoot bad. They're always like just shoot well. Yeah. You're you're you're craning around like an owl. Hey, cool. The sun not How much? Yeah. Next round. Okay. Hell yeah. Should be all excited. Getting the right shield open then you walk away. Everything's dangerous. I mean unless you sometimes you hit orbit like obviously the danger All right. This uh this this will be better. Yes, please. Thanks, Dory. Yes, please. And thank you. It's the Poker Joker. Morning everybody. This is my new interface. Ah, well, I saw your the fanciest thing I saw was you changing it from your phone. That was the coolest. Yeah, I didn't set up the Wi-Fi so on my phone, so I can't do it unless they're I'm on both. I saw Ruth gave you the tiny bag hands over here. So, yeah. someone put a joint in it and burned his hand at the zoo. Yep. that somebody was smoking the joint out of it and burned it. Reminds me of Deadpool. Yeah. Oh, yeah. The baby hands. Yeah. Surely Eric will just know to start the game without me on Venom. It'll be fine. Thorn. Yeah. He's in my group. He doesn't know how to play it. No. I just meant he knows that I'm I'm in his group. I'm just telling you he doesn't know how to play. That's good to know. So, you're saying start 82 balls? I'll have to do it later. If you're one of the three pinball streaming watchers that doesn't know how juggle poker works at this point with the thousands of times it's been on stream. Every ball a separate objective is available for you to get your 5x bonus starts at a 10 goes to jack queen king ace each ball 1 2 3 4 5. If you knock that specific bank down all your bonus is 5x for the ball. So you can it's hard to see because of the awesome sunlight, but the 10 the 10 light on the center of the playfield is the one lit right now. But he has not knocked that drop down yet, which he's going to aim for. You can also just kind of queen out if you want to as well. But notice those jacks don't reset until the 10 gets knocked down cuz they're the same mech, Tom. I learned that at nationals. I didn't know that. Same mech. Yeah. I was like, "The jacks aren't reset." And someone's like, "They don't." And I'm like, "What? Why not? Yeah, I see Eric looking around. He looks confused. You better Where's Andy? He'll figure it out. Rachel can DQ me for time. Just kidding. I'll go check on him. Okay, go ahead. I'm back here. You can come on the stream, Eric. We'll let you. I'm knocking Dr. Peppers over. Coming in like an animal. Jesus. All right. It's like he's never been in a booth before. How does this thing work again? Eric Thorne from District 82, everybody. All right. We got Joker poker. Yeah. I heard somebody bought a game from you recently and then sold you the old playfield of the game back. Yes. Cuz they put a new one in, which is very awesome to me. And And I got displays as well. I was like, you're like, "These are pretty nice." I'm like, "Do these work?" I think they work. I'm like, "Wait a minute." looking at the resistors. I'm like, "This is me." Like, that's my work. I'm like, I know they work. Oh. Oh, I'm You're up. Oh, you come get me. Got it. Okay. All right. How's poker of the Joker looking here? Uh, we're on ball two, one still. Player four. Yeah. Yep. Player four. I think he could have Where you going? Where you going? Let's see about spy cam. I mean, it definitely hit flipper, so yes, there there was a chance to do something. The reaction would had have been Yeah, super fast. Zer level. Yeah. Well, that pop seemed better days. No free no extra aces for you. That last pop, we was like the ball didn't even leave the like plastic ring. We there went again. No pop action for you. Unfortunately, like four of those aces aren't really shootable with with the bottom flippers. So, you need to get some pop love usually. Tom, are you like a queens all day on this or do you chase the objective? I try to, but I'll just take what I could get. Usually, I'll go for the 10 right away on ball one. I try to get the 5x usually, so especially early on when it's only one or two shots to get those drops down. So, yep. Yeah. I don't know on ball five, though. Yep. Yeah. The aces aren't really super worth it on ball five. All right. Andy's uh heading to Venom. Oh, no. Matt got one down the middle. It's a five ball game, so So, you should get a half a good ball, right? Right. You'll get at least two or three. Did you already talk about the strat on this game a little bit? You can you can elaborate or I was hoping you would teach me. Oh, so so um so basically you want to hit down targets, but like on ball one you want to hit the 10. Ball two you want to hit the jacks. Ball three you want to hit the queens. Is there a reason why you do that on different because you give you give 5x bonus for for each set or something? Yeah. Okay. I see the 5x bonus. All right. And I know there's an EM version of this and then the solid state. Are they the exact same game or do they change? I have never played the EM version of this. I don't think there's many of them. Yeah. I owned it early on in my pinball career and didn't know how to fix it. And you're like, get rid of this. It's a It's a fun game. I mean, honestly, see Dory playing pinball pool there. Got a long way to go here. So, and you you can get extra ball by doing ABC and then hitting the the upper right target there, but uh it says to plunge the extra ball, so it's probably not worth going for, right? So, and as uh as Andy was alluding to earlier, the left pop bumper does not seem very poppy. So, it's it's a feature. It's a feature. Yeah. So, it's going to be a little harder to get those drops in the upper left. The aces up there. Yep. She's moving it pretty good. And there's no Yeah, we've not found the tilt yet. I'll find it. All right. So, what's going on? So, somebody who played ball one out of turn instead of giving down. There's our update on alien poker. Craig Craig earns one. Somebody when you told me I was up, I walked around the corner and he's already like used my venom locks like all my stuff. So, yeah, last but have a fresh guy on I didn't I didn't think you could do that. I I I can call him if you want. I know that And again, uh, big thanks to the Midwest Gaming Classic for having us out to stream this. And of course, uh, Rachel Risto, Matt Mccardi, and Alex Phelps who are running the event. Thanks to uh, my sponsors, Kingpin Games and Lumberjack Dens. Looks like Rachel's doing some tding. Yeah, figuring it out. Come on. Now, there's another update. So, X's and O's. Ricky Bryant with the first. Spindler taking down to TNA. Oh, nice save by Matt there. Ah, expecting a little dead bounce there, but Oh no. On ball three, you want to hit the hit the queens. used to play all the time back in the day. Not sure. Did he tilt there? All right. Ball of four. It's the B. And we're going for jacks. Not going to play that one, unfortunately. This game does look pretty forgiving though, I have to say. So, only five rounds and the top 12 from each uh AM and PM will will meet in the finals, which will be a fair strikes knockout. All right, we'll see if Matt can get some more points here. He's got all the aces. That means the extra ball looks like it's lit, but he'd have to plunge that away per the note on the machine. All right, not bad. 180 180k is not not bad. Eric getting most of his aces done. Bear gut, thanks for the resub. Appreciate it. One more ace to get down, but jacks are or the 5x. Oh, almost hit that bottom one. Got one more to go. I got to see if I can lock this. Uh, I mean, not bad ball. Pretty much doubled his score there. Yeah. Exit stage left out lane. Currently in second. All right. Last ball for everybody. Now the aces are your your 5x. And there's that pop bumper. And there's the double bird. Oh. Don't do not plunge. No. Get away. Oh yeah. Oh. Uh, he's lucky that. Wow. I wouldn't. Uh, he did plunge Matt's ball, but uh, woo. We got a hype train going. Cheesy Buddha. Thanks for the, uh, subscribe. Thanks for resubbing. Going to see some results come in here. Nick Warner uh, with the win on Black Knight. Sword of Rage. Oh. Playing in with the slings. He's He's going for it. Yeah, it's a drain, but uh heck of a score on this. I don't know if you can hear the piano in the background, but I do. All right. So, Eric's got some work to do here. He looks like he's passed player one. Ah. All right. That see it looks like Tyrone has I believe 111. It's hard to see. He's going to get uh Eric and Bonus. He'll take a second. Looks like Harlem Venom Pro still going. Avengers. Are you ready? Check. Thank you. Heat. super and then what else? What's your name? Nice to meet you. Like a three modern start. Are you kidding me? Oh, did you? I should be thanking my lucky stars. Stars. Oh, that is a lot darker than I thought it would be. Sorry. I'll fix that. That is really dark. Uh, it didn't look that dark when I was doing it. So, I'll fix that. I'm going to fix players. Sorry, everybody. I love you. I got to check stuff anyway, so I got time. You good? That's somewhat better. Yeah, that was dark, man. Yeah, there's just so many. There's windows above. There's windows everywhere. So, just we're doing the best we can. Andy not happy about that. Tilty. No moving this one. No moving the game. Sorry. No nudging in pinball. It's illegal. Yep. Nudging is illegal. I push with sir. I almost knocked that out. You almost did. I'm surprised you didn't tilt. All right. What are we taking? Uh, you don't have a portal lock. You appear to be Oh, we're looking through. We're shopping. Trying to mine little mind. Don't step on my cables. Nick Wayne, I busted mine gem. You got to hit uh blue arrows. Each time you hit at least one, you can spin the disc for points. You can multiply that value or at least increase it by hitting more blues before you do it. Do three sets of that which will light your final shot behind the spinner disc at that target which will end your mode and collect the mind gem. Thor's flashing. Oh, yeah. Which means the multiball is lit, but he's not going to get it that ball. Wow. There's no uh Okay. Did I knock the tilt bob off? You might have. You did give it a pretty hard It was a good shove. Yeah, but that was a pretty good shove there, too, for no danger. So, now I'm kind of curious. I agree. I'm not going to trust it, though. I'm going to have to be careful next time up. Dory coming off her win at the Zoo Women's Division. So, congrats to Dory. Overall points. Nice. Fancy. Oh, it's so much quiet. It's so quiet in here. It's so nice. And it's shaded. Well, it's quiet now. Yeah. Well, yeah. I guess that's true. When the band start. That kickoff there, the feed being a little bit weird. That's a common thing on Avengers, I feel like, with that drop not always being perfect. It's a few Captain Marvel spins there. It's a drop down, but it was not one of the tic-tac-toe lines, so she does not have an award yet on left side drops. Uh, I I feel this game doesn't get the love it deserves. I think it gets the love it deserves. Do you think so? It's pretty good. It's not amazing. I find it kind of a boring flow in it for the most part just cuz you kind of do the same things every game. I feel like um but it's it's not Stay right there. Don't move. No, Tom. Mom, I saw you got a busy schedule coming up. You have like seven circuit events in a row. Does anybody else out there streaming help this man? No, I want to do it. That's great. The pinball world appreciates you. It's all in good fun. Just like add everyone tags. What? Just like add everyone tags on Discord. And Joe looking like he's trying to get some Oh, he's he's in power mode by jump already. So less spinner will build your value um during this mode. It's also the final shot, but you got two shots that are blinking slow and one blinking fast in this mode. That's the middle one's the critical worth more points. Otherwise, it's a glancing blow. He's ripping through this though. He already has his final shot lit. Uh no, that's just his No, he's in the middle of the mode still. Whoa. Good slings. Respect. Goes into Thor. Nice. Hit his four combo. So, I'll have his portal lock when he comes out of this. Did he get it? Nice. Surprised he didn't try to get there right before the mode started up at least. But I definitely need to get my Thor primed at the start of my ball probably so I don't have to risk on ball three having to chase multiple hits to it. So, but it's on a pro it's dangerous because you can get you can get that ball glanced pretty easily and start your you multiball without any modes running. He gets the attab ball from the right dead end target. There's also an addab ball behind the disc on Thor if you hit the target back there once you spun the disc a couple times. Can't tell if it's lit cuz there's like uh that plastic's not the most bright thing in the world. He did finish his mode though, so nice for nice for that. He's got Hulk spinner running now. Gets a spin on the Hulk. He will get still no spins on the Hulk, but he'll drain two balls. Not worth it at this point. He's just going to focus on Oh, got super combos running. That's nice. You could go straight to lock three on that one pretty quickly. I feel like it's just a couple of shots. His discs in a weird spot there if you can manage to still tick it. Oh, no. He missed it. Yeah, a little late. Have it on all three though. Maybe set up. Oh, it counted. Appreciate that solid state, KC. Oh, it was already moving. Oh, he skimmed the target. That's good cuz should give him a portal lock now. Yep. Chance for the attabol. Gets it right on Q. Yeah, I agree. Scribble, we'll we'll have to give Andy some heck. I think he's just deciding on I need points. Thanks, Scribble. I appreciate it. Yeah, I I I've been wanting to add something like that and um I needed uh I needed some coding help and I got it. Yeah, I always want to try to run this like a like Oh, handy drain kind of double drain there. But great ball. Uh I always kind of wanted to run this like a almost like a ESPN type of deal and just having those live updates when when the scores are entered is is pretty awesome, I think. So, oos boots with the resub for 24 months. Hi, Boots. Great ball. Thanks. Scribble was questioning your uh your wasn't the best choice, you know. No, no portal lock into a mo with no multiball progress. Yeah, worked out okay. Scribble, are you at MGC? I miss you. comes the sun. Yeah, I really don't. That song does not make me ever happy really for the most part. So, I prefer to be a little overcast. Oh, that one's not coming back. And he's out of Thor Multiball. Scribble has never been to MGC. What? Oh, Trey with the win on Alien Poker. Nice Trey taking Nick Wayne down a peg. Nick taking a third there. Nick said he missed playoffs last year in this event and he drew like all mostly olds, I think. And he's doing that so far again this year. [] So it's it's one of the caveats, you know. Just don't know what you're going to get. Yep. Sean Spindler with the win on Rick and Morty. Nice, Sean. I haven't played the Rick and Morty yet. Have you played it? I have not. Gotcha. All right, we are into what is Proxima? Oh, that's the that's the diff. Yeah. No, that's the orange time gem. Oh, time jump gem. That's right. Very hard mode to clear. I find it's uh you need uh nine shots to beat this mode. And three of them are the drop target shots to the left with a roving shot. And they get really quick on the third one. Yep. And if you miss if you miss hitting the one, you got to hit them like you got to continue to hit it. It's not just like hitting any drop. Oh, nice little carum into the other ball. Oh, he's got he's working on his iron man there. His first lock, I think, though, right? Yeah. Okay, so there's two more and he starts the multiball stack. So, that'd be nice. Doesn't look like Eric Thorne's going to be buying an old Chicago anytime soon. It's going to be the end of the two ball. So, 2x scoring is now gone for the mode. And now he's in that drop phase. Each time you get past that drop phase, it speeds up. Like Tom said, extra balls are 25 mil. Pretty huge. I saw my animation go off for it and you're like I was like I was like, "Yeah, I just I clicked at some point during the chaos cuz I know I owned one for like a year and I know that animation. I could see my peripheral and I was like, there we go. There we go. 25 for me." Ryan Spindler with the win on Harlem. Spindler bringing it back for the tall people again. Spindler's here today. We didn't get a tall win last year. So, we need we need a tall person winning MGC again. That's right. Andy Fleming came from uh Minnesota. Nice. Won it last year. Dory also got the skill shot on the drop target after the plunge kind of like I did, but it shifted off of the the right grid the right grid line at that point. So, but still nice to get the 10 seconds of ball save and one of the grid awards. Always like the backhand on the spinner on a pro. Feels so good. It's not a huge rip, but it gets you your progress if you need to progress that shot for any reason. And it feeds like perfectly back to the flipper on the spinner of a pro. The the AIQ Pro is the superior game in my opinion. She's got like all of her blue arrows knocked out for a big disc grip if she rips the disc right now. I don't know if you want to backhand this though because it's not going to go. Okay. Yeah, good. Good. I like that. I like that move. Oh, she's bringing the multiball in. I like this reactor and super reactor running a little high on that. I'm assuming she's going for Thor. She gets it. Nice. Good stack. This could be huge points. Oh, I think she turned the Did she turn it? Oh, that was that was a good rip. Yeah, there you go. Already at 20. I love the Captain Marvel like hitting the just comboing out the the middle ramp with the spinner. Yep. My favorite when I owned it was if I blast my spinner hard enough, I could shoot I could shoot ramp spinner ramp and then I would get the force the next spinner would still be spinning. Yeah. So it would give me the credit for the combo cuz it was still going. So Oh, he must have hit it. Yep. Well, all you have to just turn the spinner, right, to get the shot. So it was just like still going. So as soon as the combo lit up, it would instantly award it again. So if I was fast enough at the hitting three ramps. Oo, big spin. Yeah, Dory's putting up a heck of a ball here. Yeah, that was a juicy rip there on that spinner. BK System 7 32 month. Thank you. I definitely think I knocked the top off. do it. All right, she needs that banana ramp. Banana boat ramp for the uh gem collect. Nice. Good save. That was a great read there on that flipper. Oh, come on. She want I like I like she set up for the combo too for so she gets some progress on the on the portal locks. It's nice. All right, collect the line gem. Where do you place it? Center ramp probably. I feel like just so you can get some progress on it if you can. Oh, two balls locked for army. Getting close to soul gem. Uh I think she just needs the uh Captain America. I feel like she doesn't have Panther either, but I can't tell. Like Yeah, you might be right. It's hard to see. Who put these windows here? Yeah. Stupid windows. Stupid sun. Yeah, she needs she does need three shots. You're right. I feel like that's obtain one cuz you don't really have to shoot that shot in the early modes, you know. So true. Oh. Oh, never mind. She did have it. Oh, okay. Nice. Oh, yeah. It's ready to go with mind gem, too. This going to be fatty. She take She's like multiball. Do I take the multiball with with iron man on its own or do I take soul gem first? She's going for the Iron Man. Wow. I don't hate that. It's You know, you don't want to be ball three trying to find that shot. Maybe. Sure. you know, she won't make any new Avenger progress, but that's not really her goals are lower, I feel like, in terms of this match. You know, there's not like a 400 million support chase or something right now. She's also got pretty good grid progress over there, too. So, she could get some nice grid awards potentially if she just kind of falls into that shot a couple times. I really like to spam grid on this game in multiball, especially if you got nothing better to do. It's spamming grid is like really powerful. Well, you get lots of nice rewards from that. Extra balls lit. That stupid post is right in the It is blocking directly right now. Yeah, as it always is. O, that left one's hungry. Oh, now it's on the bottom of it. It's always in the way, man. Oh, she she clipped it on the edge. 10 10 million. Oh, it's 10. I thought it was 25. I think it used to be 25. I think he changed it. I forgot about that. So 25 is pretty pretty massive amount of points that is on this game. 10's good though. Yeah, 10's solid. It's going to light Dory super at the tower shot. She get a double. She puts two in there within 10 seconds. After shield puts one in there. Now the questions are what are the good things to eat in the hall? Yeah. Uh, got the double the double super. Wow, great play from Dory. Hey, that multiball, but she's almost exactly my score right now. And she has soul gem with mine ready to go. And you know what's else is good with that iron man? She probably buffed up her Yep. She probably got her uh or where is her mind gem at? Oh, it's on the left drops. Never mind. We can't level it up there, so I don't think Oh. Oh, nice save. Nice. Big shout out to Dory. Dory rocks on uh on your socials. I don't think she has a button. I'm not sure yet, though. So, it's flashing. It's flashing for hard gem right now. That's green. I'm trying to see if it keeps flashing afterwards. She takes regular scoring. No, she is regular scoring. Yeah, it's got She's got no blue, so Okay. First shot is going to be that um right orbit for progress. Nice bump over there. Just trying to find that orbit shot. It's a pretty tough shot to dial in I feel like on Avengers. Those pass works. She is not going to get that credit. You can also get one credit for the ball falling back here without when you make like a shot like this during this mode uh once. So, you don't want to really it's going to it's going to spot it. So, you kind of want to save that for a harder shot potentially, but that's the danger of that first shot is, you know, it's you got to go that way anyway. So, if you don't hit it clean, you kind of get punished. She's now back at that same shot she was kind of struggling with earlier. See if she can find it this time. She does. Nice. Now, we need the Hulk shot, which is a spinner. Yep. Has to go back to touch the orbit switch back there. The spinner itself won't do it on the Hulk shot. just lets that one go for the five flips. I probably fight a little harder there maybe to get that on a slap just so you don't lose the five flips, but doesn't want to get a danger potentially maybe once in the middle of this safe situation. You cannot drain right now with flips remaining. So until it's down to zero, there's no way for your ball to end. Spinner shot. Five flips. She'll get eight flips back. Everyone she makes in normal though. So they're nice. Good clutch shot there with five flips to go. Got the easy easy pro captive ball on the Thor. Oh, the ball will act or the mystery will also spot your next shot. Spinner. Uh drops now. So Oh, drops. Yep. Spinners after drops. So love that light show on the drop targets there. Pushing the arrow to the left showing you where to go. Oh, that is cool. Yep. Ace gets that shot perfectly. She needs one more drop over there to clear that with nine flips to go. I like that trust there to let that ball kind of settle a little bit, not use her flips up. Post pass here. Same thing. I like for not she didn't trap there. Oh, I just missed it again. Running out of flips here. Got three, two, one. Now you got to be careful, right? Like Oh, okay. Yeah, one more shot out of Yeah, you just don't want to have a situation there where you drain that ball like as you flip or something. You know, you could let it literally go and get it right back. Marvel hurry up running. It's the center ramp and the spinner real quick. Also running now. Yeah, she hasn't collected her portal lock on the drops yet. So, she has not. and she would right now, but she clears it cuz she's got the center uh circle where extremely dated. Oh, she did have one portal lock though, so she must have collected earlier at some point. So, she just juiced the hell out of that value with that spinner. Yeah, that's massive right now. Unfortunately, it's a pretty short ball saver with the portal locks. So, you really don't have a lot of time there. You want to try to get into multiball as fast as you can, but she's still making hay out of this with these uh shots. She needs one more drop still and she'll have that uh portal lock lit again when she comes out of this mode, I think. And maybe she already got that that one earlier. Who knows? But 100% con. Absolutely, dude. Yeah, Colin, she's making great flipper decisions across the board. Watching her here. So, all right. Knocks that mode out for 10 mil. Looking locked in. this. Uh oh, there it is. There it is. Oh, no. Oh, ball saver. She got ball saver. Was it got three things? It was super ball saver. What a shot. That's crazy. I think it's Yeah, it's pulsing real slow. Is it? Yeah, it is. It's slow pulse. She got She got 30 seconds of ball save right now. Yeah, she got one of those and then the cross. Yeah. Does not realize it because she you kind of happened so quick on that drop target shot. But you're not done. You're not done. Keep going. Don't stop. She's going to call TD over. The game just got kept playing. I think it ran out now finally. It's a very weird slow pulse. Yeah, it's gone now. I don't see it pulsing anymore. It's such a satisfying thing when you see it start pulsing in multiball. You're like, "Yeah, we're going to be here a while." Sarah Dell with the win on Joker. Hey, Sarah. Knocking out Brian. This is a fantastic ball. She ain't letting go, that's for sure. Gets the combo jackpot, too. Okay, we found the D. Uhoh. Oh, don't tilt now. That's a pretty big bonus. I feel like you don't want to lose that. If she was 6'6, I would have tilted easily. Nice ball. Great ball. She's like any more. Yeah, that's why you do want to tilt that. That's That's That's a good bonus. Dang. Yeah. Doubles my score right now. So huge. Joe is Why is all Oh, he's got a gem. Okay. He's got He's got a good setup. He's got a portal lock ready. He's got to lock his gem somewhere, unfortunately. First. Nick, you want in? Hello, Nick. Have you ever seen this game before? Um, once or twice, I think. He still has not placed his power gem either. So, even though his portal lock is now Okay, there he placed it. Okay, so now he's got his portal lock on the spinner and he just needs to light his mode. He'll be in a 2x. Oo, that was almost sketchy right there. Tower's got a couple ball saves on it when it comes out on that code. That's going to be good. Will he survive though? Yep. Will he survive though? No. Nice nudge. Okay. Yeah, good nudge. Can he get the shot? He does. Very nice. Clutch. Feel like our tent's going to go down. Yeah. Joe, whatever you do, just leave me that disc spinner in the right position, please. And that is currently not the right position where it is. So, that is the worst position. How's the uh from the tower if you don't uh flip the upper flipper? How's that feed? Uh I had to slap it pretty hard to save it on the left. I think it was I think I got the left, but it was definitely not free. So scaryish. Yeah. Tom picking the right game to put the rig on this round. Yeah, Joe, unfortunately already out of that uh that that portal lock just lasts so short an amount of time. I'm going to get ready since I'm next up. So, hello. Hello. Hello, friends. Hello. No. Um, is he on this game? Is that what's going on? Yeah, he's player two. Oh, yeah. Look at this. Look at the screen, Rachel. Look at the screen. Yeah, this is a pretty good game we got going here. Yeah, not too bad, actually. Taking a look at the scores here. Looks pretty playable. Mhm. Right now, as long as it doesn't play forever. I know if we're waiting on this, but since this was seating, it does get the rounds do get a little bit longer as we go on. Ball three locked. Let's go, Joe. Look at him. He's pumped. Yep. Uh I think he's uh still in his reality gem mode as well, so uh this will this will be pretty good. Blow it up. I think Oh, yeah. No, he is. and let's respond to all the people's messages while I'm sitting here. Good time to do it. Um, just going to let let me my volunteers know that Tom went to get lunch and where I am. Joe here just needs uh one more iron in lane uh to light his attabal. All right. Oh, I I think he did it. Looks like it. Yep. So, get the target behind with our solar flare that we have going on. Oh, yes. Yes. But it's not bad on the game when you're standing there. It's just the angle of the camera. It's pretty okay. Yeah. Okay. Uh old old expo used to be a lot worse than this. Okay. And and we played that just fine. Well, thanks for that. Sounds encouraging. It it it was it was rough. So, it's not the biggest [] show you've ever seen is what you're saying. No. All right. A no. No. A double. No. Got a giggle. So, he had uh has had a bullet. Unfortunately, didn't collect it, but he's out of his mode. Go 141. That's That's great. That's a great making some ground. That's a great game. This is not one of my stronger games, so I'd be happy with 144. Sure. Yeah. See where the Oh, that was a nice recovery. And what ramp recheck shoot again. There we go. Right. Ramp. Nope. Nice. Yeah, this game has a little bit of give to it, too. Mhm. But not not a not a lot. Not a lot. Yeah. Just makes me feel better. All right. Is Avengers is Joe going to go? Is he going to do the hard mode? Uh, he's not. Do you Do you go in the hard mode? Uh, or just depends on where you're at in the game score wise. I Yeah, if I was in the situation, I would, but if I'm just wanting to play the game, uh, and don't feel super confident in my shots, you know, maybe I'll consider not not doing the hard mode. Okay. Yeah, it flips added. This is a very cool feature in this game. Yep. It's a It's a really neat mode. Yeah. Teaching you to not flip. Yep. Or hold your flipper up so you can ski pass. Since you've already flipped it up, you might as well just hold it up sometimes, right? Yep. It's an orbit. Add some more flips. nailing these shots down though. Oh, just barely missed the captive ball. He has a Thor ready to go, huh? Mhm. Come on, Joel. Hit the Hit it. I wonder if he knows. He's got it though. Yeah, I I I think he does. He And you can bring that into this mode. Yeah, he must be able to. Yes. Uh No. So, it's uh it's just one of the shots for soul gem. Oh, just one of the shots for Soulj cuz I thought the circle below it was clashing. That's why it it was um I think I think every light on every light on the shot on that shot shows like hey shoot me shoot me shoot me. Okay. Yeah. That's right. You'll get that back. Yeah. Still got put 13 million on. Keep going here, Joe. Still got 25 flips. That's a pretty measurable amount. So, here's where the uh the pro uh is a little different from the premium. So, you can see the Captain Marvel shot is lit. Uh normally it just be hit the uh hit the ramp that's there on the premium and that's all, but you got to complete spins on on the Pro, which uh could be a little annoying sometimes depending on how the game is set up and depending where the uh the post on the spinner guy is, right? I mean, what do you call that? the post on the spinner mech. Uh, you're talking about the the um you're talking about this guy, correct? Is that what you're talking or put on put I got caught in the wires. Talking about that one that right there. Uh, erase. Um, so you have to rip spins there in the actual spinner. Yep. But not the spinning spinning disc. Correct. I guess there are multiple spinners on this game, so it could get a little confusing. All right. So, it looks like he's uh out of soul gem. Yeah, that was a nice in lane. Yeah, spinning the disc. A good game. Really good ball though. Yeah. Good job, Joel. He's a Milwaukee player. I don't know if you've ever met him before. I've not. Yeah. He and Dory play a lot of games together. They're both um they play they do some traveling like up to DD2 and stuff together too. Sure. Nice guy. Yeah. I know everybody, Nick. Or they know me. Or it's more terrifying. They know me because of this and that's really scary cuz they hear my voice and they know me. I'm like what? Well, hi. They know me. They know my voice. They know me. They know my voice. The only person that matters or animal that matters or who's knows my voice is my cat. That isn't very important. Yes. So Andy missing uh has completed trying to post pass. Nope. That way possibly. There we go. So he's going to start No, he's not going to start soul gem cuz he needs to collect his gem. I lied. But I believe he has completed all of his. I lied. You know, I appreciate a man that can admit that when he's wrong sometimes. So, that's great, Nick. You get a a plus one in my book for that. All right. Well, but now So, he's collect all his people, all his Avengers. Yep. And he's 100% going to go to the hard mode. I would expect nothing less. We do have to appreciate the shirt he's wearing today. Yep. Foxy's pinball here to support the stream. A walking taco. Walking t they make special walking taco bags. That's awesome. I might have to get a Tom just rolled back into the booth area with a a Doritos. Interesting Doritos bag. Walking taco. And we're going to get some ASMR on that too, aren't we? Sorry, Andy. Back to your game. Oh, we got the live stage now behind us. Uh, sounds like they're starting to really pump pump some music. So, if you're hearing some bass in the background. Yep. One of the uh fun little quirks of this tournament is you get live music in the background. Yeah, it's loud and chaotic and stragglers. Some some bands are a lot louder than others. Yeah, for sure. Sometimes it's it's I can be feel the base of my feet on the floor though over here. So, it it's it's very Um Andy is is doing great in this 10x soul gem, but now he's got to complete the drops with uh four flips left, which And there it goes. Bye. But still, uh 42 million for uh not making all the shots. Oh, is he going to do it? A try to wiggle it out. Yeah, he probably had a okay bonus there, too. Nice wiggle. That was a nice wiggle, Andy. Trying. So, Tyrone's going to give the game just a second before he plays it. Man, that smells really good. For real. That smells really good. So, this is the point of the tournament where I do start getting nervous cuz it's 11:00. We have two rounds to go yet. But it'll be fine. It'll be fine. We just run late. Usually, we're pretty much on time. Yeah, th this tournament usually runs pretty timely. Like uh and Dory is gonna Does she get a walk up? Walk away with the win. Hell yeah, my girl. That's awesome. Sweet. Yeah, girl. Be happy about it. Be excited about it. Dory rocks. So, she's going to She could play it out, but I know hopefully they're going to go get the scoring taken care of. Joel's writing it down looks like. And then we're going to go get our next game drawn. Woo! Woohoo! Yeah, girl. So excited for her. We do have a highest women's finisher trophy this year. Nice. Yeah, that was the new the new thing. Uh and we unfortunately went from four top four trophies to top three because a fourth one didn't get ordered. Oh. So, I'm not in charge of that. So, we have top three trophies, but we thought we'd offer whoever takes fourth place if they would like a nice dirty milk crate to take home with them. I the you know what the Would you take the milk crate? If store records in it, if I have the option of getting the milk crate trophy or not, I would probably take the milk crate trophy. That's a That's a nice quirky trophy. Yeah, I think it'd be great. I like quirky trophies. I want a walking taco. You want? Yes. You know where my card is. Everything in it. Sounds great. Yep. Thank you. So, tell Yeah. Tell Noah jalapenos. Thank you. Do you want one, too? No, I'm okay. Thank you. I'd order you food. You just owe me one. I'll I might get food a little later. Yeah, sounds good. I'm like, oh, I better this is if somebody if you're at a tournament, someone offers you food, your answer should be yes, please. Cuz once the next time you're going to get like slip away, you know. True. Well, hopefully after uh yeah, in between finals. Yeah. Are you playing well? Not bad. Um I have two firsts and a third. So, I'm pretty happy with it so far. Okay. It sounds like the next round is I hear third. It's good. That's Yeah, that's good. What What are you at so far? I'm not playing. Maybe I'm in the afternoon group. We'll see if I play it or not. Right. Okay. Cuz then sometimes you have people that walk up and want to play and I'm like, "Okay, I'll just give them my spot because it's a lot to run around and do things too." Sure. No. Yeah, I I get that. All right, go play your game. Chicago. Yeah, man. Oh, no. It's Pezes, though. It's a really nice old Chicago. I I played it yesterday. It plays like an old Chicago, so I'm not The playfield's beautiful. Just don't look at the game. Well, yeah. And then don't look at the pop bumpers right by the inlays. I know. I saw that, too. But it's uh You know what? I think that game gets a gets a bad rap because it's so hard. I I think it's a fantastic game. Do you like saucer? Fun. Yeah. All day long. Yeah. And and this one it's pretty nice. If you can if you can hit the spinner, you just go saucer all day long. Uh yeah. I mean, ideally you would get a few letters first by excuse me, by hitting the spinner. Um but you know what? If uh if you're feeling super unconfident in the game and you're just like, I need like 10, 000 points in order to, you know, gain a position, I'm just going to go for that saucer. I'm I'm not going to risk shooting the spinner. Yeah, I want to do that. And even though you might get that with bonus, but still. All right, go check with your game. Go do it. Good luck. No, thank you. Good luck. That's my work card. My debit card. Remind me to just pay. You can use my work card. Oh [***] fix Uh, they're about to pay for my lunch with my work card, which is okay. I think my law firm can pay for my lunch today if they remember me to. It's okay. All right. Well, hey Neil, how you doing? TNA aka New Chicago. Oh, that's funny. Um, yeah, this TNA, we're not going to get any audio, uh, audio on it. Uh, because we're having some issues with the feedback. So, there's no audio. Uh, we do have, looks like Joe, Andy, Tyrone, and Dory. No, this is the wrong group. And Tom's going to show me how to update the group matching. Find your mouse. Where's the mouse? Where is he? There he is. Oh, wait. Here he is. Oh, where did he go? That's a ball. That's the ball. Where is he? What the heck? All right. So, this TNA is like a little on the, you know, like most of the games here plays a little cruel. Um, and it has, I think, a 5second ball save maybe on it. I can't remember what we're setting on. But this game is Oh, I can't touch the screen because Tom's hand is on the mouse. I almost did it, but I didn't. But, so some people do like this is not a bad strat. Let's see if it comes to the flipper. He might have Oh, what a shot that was. We hit the rad target into the lock shot. That was cool. Uh, okay. Nice. He's got two balls locked and loaded. Sorry, I gotification there. All right, so he like to shoot that one drop. He's a little late on that shot. Come on. A little early now. You got that nice in lane. I really love the up quote unquote upper play field here. Yeah, man. You can Thank you. And you can definitely backhand uh that lock shot as well. It's just early or Yeah, he's early. Come on, you can do it. Don't leave it for anybody else. Do it. No, early again. Come on, guy. You can do it. This was This must be uh Oh, this is Robert. He's a massive player. Fet him today, actually, for the first time. Oh, that was scary. Oh, came back. Fine. We'll just start a reactor. Nice to bounce. Trust out that scoop. He's got his ball saved in the nick of time there. Oh, darn it. That's a little frustrating cuz he left uh two balls in the lock there, but right here. All right, Mike. Mike is uh everybody says hi to Mike. Mike is here. And it's actually Mike and his son Ben is right there behind him from Iowa playing today. Hi family. Mike's like, "All I want to do is hit that I just want to hit that drop. I'm going to hit that drop. I'm going drop." Nope. He was late on that shot. He didn't backhand it. It almost becomes like a thing where you can't think about anything else but hitting that. And you would think you think it'd be the easiest shot, right? Nope. Oh my god. Stan control. Excellent. Now we're going to look at that shot. Eyeball it. Shoot it. We want him to shoot it. Come on. You can do it, Mike. Boom. Yes. He stole the locks. So now he gets to go to town. Great to shoot it there. Great to hit those. Uh progressing on your reactor. This is down down to two balls. Stay in. So yeah, I got no game audio on here. Oh, so down to one single ball play, but he did steal that lock back. He steal the stole the lock balls, which is good. So it hamstrings the next player. Even if you have a crappy multiball in this game, it's well worth just to disadvantage the next player can, which most games you don't really have to think about that, you know. All right, so collecting another letter on top right into the scoop. Wow, that's a scary nice little nudge keeping it in lane. Woo! Look at that big move. The single danger was a big move. Oh, he got a double danger tilt, but it was a huge move that he had there. So, so just that puts him in second. We are still we're now going on two with the Rasma stepping up. And you see here he has his little phone out there. He's trying to check up the time to let that tilt bob chill. So it's not a nuclear annihilation when he plunges. Now in this game, I'd actually put my phone down, wait a full minute, just knowing how tight that tilt is in here. So So all right. So he does a full plunge around. Nice. Backhands it into the lock. Boom. He's like, "Yes, there's one in there." Much better ball, too, so far. Oh, that was nice from trying to like bomb dead flip. Oh, no. I felt that. I felt that cuz look at my reaction were the same. Uh let's see. So have Mata stepping up my Twitch so I can look at chat. Nice short plunge. Oh, that was so scary though. Yeah, he's doing a good job the side of the cab. Nice back hand. Okay, so let's see if we can slow plunge that and put it on the right flipper. Oh, catch it. All right. Okay, control. Here we go. Kaboom. Awesome. Let's go. You know what I love so much about this game? I know some people don't like it because it's fast and ramps and stuff, but man, it's really fun. Just that simple objective is a lot of fun. Oh, I tilt. Oh, did he tilt? He tilted. He was He was nudging a bit there. You see back here we got X's nose going on and people running up to get their skill shot. It's kind of funny. We just saw a roof fan run into the frame. Yeah, the game is tight unfortunately and very easy to tilt. So just one of his Oh, I like the match results Tom. I didn't see those before. This is amazing that we actually get to see that now. Little updates. Who's telling me about that? How cool. So, Robert's just letting the game chill a little bit. All right, I'm back from gorging. Do you feel better? I do. Yeah, it looks like I ordered myself the same. Who doesn't like a walking taco? You know, they're the best. Goodbye. He's not getting that back. I'm sorry, Robert. I know he's looking at that disgusted like that. Was that he shaking his head? No. What he's thinking is why is Tom have me on stream? Why did Rachel set the game like this? I don't know. cuz we have we have another round after this and we want to get done by noon. So it's 11:15. We're doing good. Good. Just no more long AIG games, right? Even Even if it runs over just a little bit, it's okay. It'll be fine. Give myself some grace. Is that what you're saying, Tom? Give me some grace. That was a hard push. Only a single danger for Yeah, he had some big nudges before. Okay. Uh Mike and Felicia and their son Ben is here from Iowa and Ben absolutely just loves you and I'm going to try to get him to come into the booth later. No, they watch you all the time, Tom. No, I had him in the booth at at Expo. That was like That was his dream come true, Tom. You don't even know. Yes, I'm I He knows how to play the games better than the rest of us. We do the uh Make a Wish sometimes. I want to be a Make a Wish kid. I want all that. Oh, no. already. Um, all my dreams are already coming true. I mean, man, who gets a chance to create your own tournament and have it streamed and I don't know. It's a cool dream to have come true. Nice little tip flip. Nice recovery. I just want the ball. Oh, nice. Is he going to short plunge or full plunge it around? Full plunge it around. Hell yeah. I'm that. No. Stay in. Okay. Wow. Power in lane. No. Stay in. Catch it. Oh, he's going to stay on the fly. It's like I'm flowing. Good ball. It's a good ball. Put two balls in the lock. Everybody's Nobody's really out. Nobody's blowing it out. Especially Arasmus cuz cuz now he has those locks. Yes. But there's no ball safe. Uh there's it's I think maybe 5 seconds. It's very short. Oh, I thought it was shorter than that, but we shouldn't see it on the bottom. I was doing pig golf last night. Let's see. Let's see if it says See, it's three sec. It's 5 seconds or 3 seconds. Smart. He's going to short plunge. No, I mean when you start multiball. Oh, yeah. No, I don't think there's a ball. No, there's not. What's that? Normally there's like 9ish seconds. We want everything just to be cool. Make everybody weep. X isn't always coming in. I do like the match result, Tom. It's amazing to have that. Yeah, it's it's definitely a upgrade we needed. Heck yeah, Rasmus. He got the uh open lock. There's There was a two second ball save. Okay, two or three seconds. Tiny. It's the you know. Oh, one's gone. He's got two balls yet. Play and two are gone. They're gone. Yeah. Thanks for playing. I know. But he's shaking his head. When you're used to like the normal ball save, it it's hard. very hard to to compensate to or to Oh, that was the little burn there. He did the right thing though, trying to relock that ball. At least he got to play a multiball. So, your brother is peeking. Is he peeking in the window? Yeah. How you doing? So, right now, Mattis has on the left out lane and now the left in lane a a ball save. Good. How are you? Good. Yeah, it's good. You and stuff. All right. Mystery can sometimes be huge in this game depending on what you get. All right. You're not going to see it. He's probably going to pass. Yep. Okay. Bonus does it. Yeah, just got to remember that. But uh Rob Rob has a chance. Mike's looking good. It's not not going to take lower than a second. But uh Rob could Oh, nice. He plunged the super skill shot for 100. That's going to force Mike to play. But he's also almost done with uh lighting his reactor. He's got to go back up top. like this. And I'm like, well, you tilt it again. You're you're moving it too much. Too many too many nudges and nudges. And sometimes like you play in a location, it has a looser tilt. You get used to that stuff. And uh yeah, so Mike needs about 50ish, 000 points. And again, he has his reactor lid. He could he could plunge to a lane up top that's flashing. You can move that initially. Yes. Nick Warner with the uh win on Black Knight. That's what you can see. August said there two two guys dressed up as Mandalorian full kit. He's like they're walking around. He's like I couldn't believe it. I'm so glad I wore shorts today. Yeah. Oh, these are like these are like the most airy yoga capri I've ever had in my life. All right. You did get in up top, but uh it didn't really accomplish anything up there. Schlump with the win on Rick and Morty. All right, got a ball up. That's good. He's getting close to Rob now. Yeah, just hit get something. Hit some points. Get some points. Oh, danger everywhere. Danger. Will Robinson. Danger. Oh, he did. He picked up a danger. Be careful. But he he's got bonus bits and pieces. 10. Got another 15. Got 15. Oh, what a stinker. Oh, no. 2, 000 points. nice for a Is that Albert Einstein? Yes, there's many places you could get a uh an Einstein head, but here at MGC, here at MGC, you could get one for 10 bucks. Hi everybody at home. We're so happy to see you. H I think I'm going to get that walking taco for lunch today. I think that sounds pretty good. You have to get it. It's not even a question. Baby hands are funny. Uh, let's take a look at standings. The standings in the matches. Yeah, let's do that. Man, I'm going to try to sit in. So, this is this is still match play. It's just kind of like my version of match play. Oo, the Foxy's pinball stream match play. Nice. This is great. This is fantastic. So, TN just finished. We got Guess what? Aiq is still playing. Matt Carter, Sean Spinler, Joe, and Craig. Uh, a huge huge thank you to, you know, Andreas for his Match Play software. Um, most of these tournaments couldn't run without it. And it's just so nice having it. Absolutely. So, big big thanks to him. Oh, look at Dory sitting up there right up on top. I'm so proud of her. So proud of So the cut off is 12, right? Yeah. Yep. And then we have to do a tiebreaker. So let's hope like people have a little five or six people. That's usually I think we had eight last year. So we got one game left to go. Amazing. Do I have a fork? Did you get her a fork? He did. Thank you. Did you get her some sour cream? He did. He's my brother. He's got me. This is my brother. So Avengers seems to be the long playing game. Not not surprised at that. No. And the tilt is tight on there. So we saw Strange uh Strange Way saw Big Well tilt out. So I mean I did see Strangeway. I did see him. I saw him today and Ethan, too. He'll be he'll be here. Red Lancer, thanks for the resub. We appreciate it. I'm more interested in watching Ethan play. Always. Ethan's kid. He's such a badass. He's the only kid I want to see play right now. I don't I don't want to play Ethan. I played him last year and he beat me on Harlem and I was just like But this is your Harlem, Ethan. So better, Tom. Pretty much. Yeah. Okay, I'm going to step out, eat my thing, and then um I will probably pack in back pop back in. We'll just go from there. Sounds good. Yeah. Thanks. Thank you, Tom. Thank you. All right, so uh we'll we'll wait for Avengers here and we'll see uh we'll see what the final round brings us. I'm thinking uh thinking a bubble group then because like why not, right? So where the bubble would be around this 18 points right now. So, like, um, we should we should get Eric Thorne on there. Just make him make him cry a little bit. No, just kidding. I like Eric. I'm just going to walk over and see where Avengers is at right now in case it's I barely barely it. Damn it. Well, maybe not. It's pretty. Oh, yeah. I'm on way too sunny over there. All right. I went to Alien Poker cuz Venom. We're I was going to go to Venom, but it's way too sunny. RIP. I didn't even know you were on this. No, I was going to put on Venom, but it was like I couldn't I couldn't see anything. Uh, I do not play alien poker very well. You don't know how to play this or I do know how to play it. I just don't play it well. It's like uh I don't do great with games where you got to survive drops. Yeah, you can chase bonus on this, but it's not really nearly as as powerful as just uh nailing the drops in order. True. That was a very quick Royal Flush clear, which should pay out shortly. It takes a bit. Yep, there's the 100k. Oh wow. Was that an in lane out lane? In lane into ski pass and out lane. Yep. Perfect angle. Oh no, he got a scissor. Oh, we got a scissor. Oh no, The game said no kings for you. Was that did that actual like uh first lane up top did that register? I don't think it did cuz lights working on it. So, you got to hit the drops on this game in order down. He hit two of them right at the same time. And he'll get 200, 000 for that because he got uh the four kings up top. And you can do that up to three times to get four X. Nice. He's getting He's getting some good inlanes there. Not only is he saving the ball, but it also gives him one of the kings up top. All right. Needs one more for another 200k at the at the moment. Oh, Roco, good morning. Although it's almost lunchtime here. It's almost So, uh, Andy's, uh, for not liking, uh, drops, he's doing pretty well. Very nicely done. Solid. Yep. So, currently, uh, Andy sitting at over 700k and, uh, Rasmus got the same kind of feed Andy got. Oh, the bounce back on the she's like, "Nah, I know lane's for you." Yeah, gate for you. The saucer kick out did that a couple times to me, too. Those rebers are pretty lively up there. So, get get some inlanes. I think the scissors had him a little afraid there. So, a lot of times you don't do the right like save move when there's scissors in the in the mix. Yep. I don't even know if getting a first here is good enough to help me get in clean or a tiebreaker or what. What do I got? 12 Last place kill you. All right, Sarah looking for more. She does not have any value on a royal flush. She's only got 100k for it if she gets it. There she does get it. So, that'll be 100K. And that's going to air mail right into the uh Oh. Oh, I'm going to go say Josh. They're little baby hands. They're what? Baby hands. Little people hands. I don't know. They were they were just given to me How dare you talk to Josh Sharpe? Delay the tournament. You in the afternoon group? Yeah, it's a good thing. I got everything set up just in time so I could get the stream going on time. So, are are both you and your dad playing? Yeah. Okay. When is your uh cubing stuff? Uh it's h it's all day today when the booth is open and then the competition is tomorrow. Okay. So, not what Andy wanted there, but he's got a pretty solid lead. Although Sarah's chomping on the bit. What's up, Tiny Sharp? He's not the tiniest. I didn't say tiniest. Oh, caught him on the odoke there on the push it all the way past two flippers before you can react. Let's see if I'm a dead man walking or not. Uh, let's check the standings. I got it up on the screen for you. Oh yeah, 16. Oh yeah, I'm pretty dead. What do you need to make follow more than 23? I feel like that is not a payout line. Yeah, should be top 12. Payout line. I don't know why it says payout. That's funny. Feel like if I win this, I'm going to be in a tiebreaker. Is this round five? Yeah. In a position I would justifiably rather not be in. What was your uh killer game? This one? Oh, yes. You played it twice. Oh, killer. No, Killer was the last place on Joker Poker with three flips. It's cool. Oh, that's fun. All right. Andy's looking pretty good to take a first. Will it get him into a tiebreaker though? That is the question cuz it's only top 12. Oh, one. Oh, he got it. Nice. Didn't see him skim that one. Oh, no. All right. I think that's going to be enough. Unless Rasmus has a huge ball here. I feel uh not having that gate there. What am I looking at? Tom will be uh packing his gear up tonight. Someday. Maybe someday. That's right. Got to work it out with the uh the MGC Elite. All right. So, Andy uh Andy should definitely have a first on this one. And then Sarah, I believe Augustus and then Arasmus. Yep. with the uh strobing. I don't know what you call that. Yeah. Right. The the fade or whatever the Yeah, the fading fading scores. I get to cross my fingers. Let's go to the stands real quick. It's definitely not looking great. Yeah, top 12 out of that many is not uh yeah, pretty tight on 25% of the field. A final A final. Oh, there it goes. I was like, what? A final cut off is top five. I don't know why there's a payline. I'm going to probably guess it's going to be about 25. That's what I feel like. What are you at? 23. Yeah, I feel like I'm hosed. There's way too many people still playing. So, I have to have a lucky roll the dice as far as where finishing positions happen. Hiber. Yeah. I mean, if I'm even lucky, probably be on Harlem. It is on It's guaranteed on Harlem, actually. Is it? Yeah. They said all tiebreers are on Harlem. You're in six right now. Yep. That ain't going to hold. No, cuz at least one person's passing me from the 20s. Two, actually, two people will pass me from the 20s and at least one person passes me from the 18s. So, I think that puts me already in the final spot potentially. I guess we'll see. I I could see 23s being the tiebreaker, though. Yeah, it could be. I don't remember last time I was in a tiebreaker for playoff. It was a long time. Probably the world's buy of the vibrer. I guess I was in You guys check out the cubing booth. I did not. Where's it at? It's downstairs. first floor. I've been putting this darn stream up all day, right? Are they going right now? Are they cubing right now? Yeah. Nice. How'd you do it? You You did this morning or No, I just got here. The competition's tomorrow. Gotcha. Ball three. Unfortunately, I'm pretty against you, so Yeah, we're connected. Prompter is not displaying your chat. My booty it is. You see chat up there? Nope. And neither do I. Boo. Try this. Oh, that didn't work. Oh, Andy's sitting right on that cut line right now. Uhoh. And there's somebody at Aaron Larson's at 20. I think he's in trouble. I mean, no, there's still a possibility, I guess. I think I think I don't No, everybody in the brown dot group is uh whoever gets first is going to finish above Andy. And that's okay. I think um cuz there's three people above the I think I think it'll have a chance at it. Let's put it that way. It's just going to depend on what happens in the other group. Go ahead and personalize your text. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Why is Neil not here? There's little thing called college and he's there. When does he get out? Uh, it should be soon. Next couple weeks, I think. One group just finished. So now Andy's still on the cut line. Okay. Was that the Thorn group? No. Oh, wait. No, this page is not updated. Okay, hold on a second. I can probably check from match play. No, don't do it. No, Andy's still in. He's still in it. He's in a fiveway tiebreaker right now. Two people above cutoff. Yep. But we still got one match going. Oh, looks like Wait, Andy's going to be in a tiebreaker. Well, there's still one match. I know, but the Venom match. They're It's 20 and then they're all at 18. So, first whatever one. Yeah, you're right. So, Andy's going to be in a tiebreaker for one spot. Yeah, it's going to be a great It's going to be like You're going to have like a six or seven person tiebreaker for one spot. One spot. Yeah. Is it? There's no people playing right now. I know. No, but you figured it out. You're guaranteed. He did the math, so if it's wrong, yell at me. But everyone else is at 18, so you're guaranteed. Yeah. Is it one ball? Uh, no. Three balls. One or two spot? I guess it does depend on how. Just barely chip in a chair. So, you're saying there's a chance? I mean, I see a way with two people pass. You guys are wrong. You guys are wrong as hell. Talk to the kid. Your math is awful. Aaron could get Oh, yeah. Second. Yeah. See, just slap them. Oh, no. No. I'm an idiot. I'm sorry. You are correct. All right. Don't snap them cuz the as long Oh, no. Sorry. No, I I am right. If if he gets a seven and they get he gets a three or a five or gets a five. So, if Aaron takes second and the take first, there's no tiebreaker. And here comes the music. Yeah, El Reco's excited now. I think Aaron just had like a big ball though cuz he's player is. I'm going to go stare at it. See what happens. Okay, stare him down. And he's going to give him the death look. Oh, now the now the chat's coming through. Now I see I see all Reco said excited. There we go. What in the hell? So Andy Andy what he said first was right and then he said it was wrong. He could still not make tiebreaker. If one of the eight teams gets first, that would probably He's going to make the tiebreaker cuz he's Andy Bagwell and we all make the finals. He's going to make it. Let's not get out of control. He'll be fine. We all know it, right? That music's really loud. Oh yeah, it'll get louder. This is like nothing. That's why I brought my headphones in my pocket. Mine are downstairs in my QB bag. Go get them cuz there will be some god awful music playing. No offense to uh anybody playing music here, but All right, let's go back to our standings. There's a cubing competition in the pier. Oh, are you going to that? And then then hit district 82. There's no pinball tournament that Friday. Forget it. Your dad's not going then. Nope. Sorry, Colin. Can we just go for cubing? Nope. It's time for you to learn. Did you hit your head? No. Maybe. You're going to knock yourself out of a tiebreaker by knocking yourself out. There's There's the group that's holding us up right there. You watch any of the NFL draft? I haven't had time. I've been here since uh Thursday night. So yeah, I I left work, came here. Bears are going to be the Packers again. Probably. It's going to be a new thing. It depend if if you know they have a healthy team, they might be okay. So we just drafted another tight end, which I don't know. Two tight ends. Free end. Three tight ends. Oh wow. Kat Holston and then the new guy. Wow. They must be really desperate for a tight end then. We should have took this guy. Let's take another one. All right, so we know Dory, Matt McCarti, Nick Wayne, they're all safe. Joe, I'm going to go check out that game. I wish it wasn't so sunny. at Ghost Stream Venom. The Venom group looks like they're dispersing. Hey, she crying or whatever. I need I know, but I need a I need I need to know because and Eric first Eric second One one spot for six people. One spot. So, who do we got here? We got Eric Theer, Ryan Spindler, and Josh Slaneweight. Slawn. And then uh we got Andy Bagwell, Eric Thorne, and Rob Townsen. They're all above the payout line. They're all getting money. They're not. Rob I played uh ping golf with. He was He was pretty good player. Over under on Fbombs for who? Andy or everyone else? Who said that, Chad? Well, it's, you know, it's that time. Probably like five and a half. For Andy. We getting right into it. We're getting right into it. I'm not good at scissor flipper games. Like I'm really bad at them because I'll try so hard to not let it go down between the two flippers that it will just go down a different way really fast. So if I get picked to play this on my round, it's not going to be good. We don't want to show scores. Oh, whoa. H. It's going to keep popping the scores on. I got to stop doing what I don't want you to do. I got to do this. All right. Here we go, Andy. Bagwell. We'll do that. Ah, it's going to uh I give up. Already at 3x bonus. Ignore the scores. All right, drop it down. Oh, he went upper flipper. So now just farm bonus. Is that max bonus multiplier? Uh-oh. Send it up top, baby. 2, 000 a spinner. There we go. Let me write myself a note. Tell AI it's dumb. need to clear scores. He's already past 100, 000. So, and he's got a huge bonus waiting 28, 000 times five. Another big spinner. Oh, the bagwell clap. It's on through the saucer into the upper saucer. Is he a max bonus? Oh, I think he is. I think the nine, 000 I think the nine's out. No, it goes up to 49. Look at that spinner go. There we go. 200, 000. He is making a statement. Ball one, everybody. Ball one. Woo! Oh, look at that. Look at that. He is pumped. Where did you get the baby hands from? Uh, I got them from uh Ruth. You know where she got them from? I have no idea. Where'd you get the baby hands from? Where'd she get them from? Say when you're older. You thought you were gone. Well, if only super bonus was on, I'd be really golden right now. But it's off, unfortunately. I mean, it's a good thing it's off, but All right. All right. Andy's making his way back. It's all the way across the He's that entire MGC. He's that confident. Eric's going to drain in like 10 seconds. Are you ready to hear some jams today, Josh? Is this all day? All night? It It'll get worse. All right. I mean, any pinball day is a good day, right, Tom? That is true. No, like doesn't play like mine. Shout out to Andy wearing the correct shirt today. Ah, so you have to you pay him royalties to uh to do that. He's got the T. He is not He is not doing that. Should do it. Try nudging. All right. Already at half a mil. Whoa. Tom, how long have you had this little extra display with the Just established that one. Dang. Yeah. The Everybody kept complaining that they couldn't read the chat. So I'm like, you're going to read the chat. That Fox Cities, man. You're like, yeah, time to quit the day job, right? Hope you enjoy my free prime sub, top. Oh, that's going to do it for Rob. This wasn't worth the uh drive for Neil to have a mid school break. No, I'm pretty sure he's got like finals coming up. So, Lee, thanks for the resub. 7 months. Appreciate it. He's a senior, right? Uh he's a junior, but he's going to try to graduate in uh three and a half. Oh, that one one less semester of tuition payment. Thank good. Yeah, I'll be rooting that on. All right, Andy still wants to play this cuz uh he's got three hands. Come on. Oh, yeah. It's only only one make it, right? Only one person. It's feeling like one of those one big ball games, though. So, it's got the game on a timer. It's got It does have a pretty tight tilt. Should try to beat my Pinberg score on this. He's He's pointing at the B. What happens when you get all the letters? 25k. Is that right? Uh yes, I believe so. The first the first time I need have all the drops down. You'll eventually get it. Oh, he he scared it. He scared that first target. He's freaking out for a second. Is it 50, Elco? You You could be right. All right. What's the score to beat here? 570. Well, what's the other ones? 820. Yeah, that's the only one that matters, right? Yeah. back. That is the score to beat Play with those hands in finals. My my stupid AI. It keeps defaulting to the the round square. Stupid AI. Uh, it's even getting hot in this thing. Tom, they got to get her a room. Hi, Rocco. I like that. That's cool. That's what Josh say. It's like a teleprompter or something. So, how now brown cow. How now brown cow. It actually is a teleprompter. Yeah. Nice. That's hilarious. I just took it apart. If anybody can do it. Tom, could you turn the volume down on my headset? No. I'll yell less loudly. Did he start a two-player game? I thought there's three people. Better, Colin. Yeah. Three people, right? Yep. Yeah. Started started a two-player. Oh, free practice. Unless somebody runs over there and presses it real quick. You going to get out of that chair? I think there's only two players anyway. No, for sure. Chair unless unless three displays out, but I doubt it. Oh my god. And then the player three should be Josh. And they always said, "Oh, he's about to plunge it." He does. It's not his ball. What are you talking about? There should Are they only playing it? Did somebody quit? Oh, they left. Oh, well, sorry, Josh. So, they were doing the right thing. We just didn't know. We are left in the dark. Who? Nobody tells the streamer. Somebody name. Uhoh. It's bad form as an opponent to curse your opponents on stream, but I don't care. Jimmy Crackorn. I don't care. Jimmy Cherorn. Yeah, they put a joint in its hand and it burnt the hand of the Oh. That's why you don't smoke. Sounds like somebody they were smoking with the hands with the hands to me. You know what's funny? I think it's definitely smoking the joint. They're going to need a lot to move on. Yeah, it's one of those Well, you know, Harlem though is the game, one of the games to do it, right? Because if you get the spinner max that like you get big points for spinner rips at 2K. So, you don't need a ton. Like, it's not like some of those older games have like a finite limit on points, I feel like, but this one definitely does not. Do you know if uh uh Bowen's playing in this? I don't think so. Okay. I didn't see him, but I don't think I saw him in the afternoon thing, but I know he's coming to pass, but he's got the gate lit. He could be at uh Delaware. Yeah, we got two drops of that shot. I killed both drops at once. Oh, we almost scissored it there. Oh, okay. 3x bonus. I will die on these games. Try not to scissor. Yeah, right. I'd rather just lose normally. He's making an attempt. He is. He's got his bonus up to 20k now. 3x. We need a lot of bonus and a lot of spins. He's the 5x target and maybe some globes. Yeah, I was on my B forever. I couldn't get it. So, I don't like the revolving door. I don't either. I got like 15 saucers without getting paid off for it. Uh-oh. No. Nice save. Got to play rough now. It's ball three. Did you see the look on Ryan's face? Yep. We told him earlier from a move like that, so he probably wasn't sure if it was dead or not. So, you're right. Oh, and he gets the globe. Got 30. He's playing way too fast. There we go. He's finding a rhythm, though. 300 or 370 more. It's going to be a lot though. Yeah. Oh, that one little sling got him. That's not going to be enough. It's not. Yeah, cuz he's with 28 two one right now. Yeah, he's only three. Yeah. Good. Valiant effort there. Three. Going to get 400. Wow. Oh yeah, he was getting close. I mean, one or two spinner rips, he would have been in the in the market. Absolutely. Unfortunately, horseshoes and hand grenades. This is the saucer. Well, and right. Oh, look at that. The spinner like turned just enough to not kill him. So, he's good. Yep. Well, now he's validated. You're right. All right. See what he can do with that gift. I'm here to market. I'm here to sell. Josh, you can say that one. Oh, yeah. Extra life. Uh, Elco wants to know, "How much is it for spelling globe?" How much for spelling globe? It's like 95K. It's some weird value though. It's like 95K or something. I think Elco said 50k and I think she's right. I think it's I think you get more than 50. I think the second time it's like 100. Yeah, I thought it was like maybe I'm thinking a paragon spell gives you like a weird amount of points, but I definitely think it's more than 50. So, well well see you later, guys. _(Acquisition: youtube_auto_sub, Enrichment: v5)_ --- *Exported from Journalist Tool on 2026-06-06 | Item ID: 8b0ed01d-f3b2-42c0-9f92-80bf0e290be7*
