That's all I got to say about that. He's doing the thing. You know how it is. What's up, Sadie? We are close to making Ghostbuster history here, but we're not there yet. All right, we got a number of decisions to make here. We need to start another mode, so we got to hit ghost. Please do not shut off the game. Oh my god. Please, this is not the time for that. I don't want to do that. Okay, let's hit the ghost target. Let's get some Slimer action. Let's get us into a new mode. Anytime, ball. Okay. Thankfully, the game vibrating has triggered Slimer enough to give it to us. Always appreciated. No. No. Whoa. You don't do that. cross the streams, of course. Let's do it. So, if you have 6x running it, it multiplies this as well, which is kind of neat. Uh-oh. Get over there. Okay. It's all right. It's all right. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. That's less all right. No, we're good. Uh-oh. That's not good. Ah, just just not enough. That's okay. We got some points out of it. All right. We got What? That's got to be close to Trey Bill. Uhoh. Okay. Oh no. Give me the shot, please. No. I'm such a dumb We got three, Bill. It happened. Okay, this is it. This is the last game. Let's make ball three count. Hopefully, we can get an extra ball. We got to hit that blue shot and then we're going to choose your skill shot. Really, Silver Ion? You've joined the dark side. You know, I thought we had something here that you'd be like one of the followers that's like, "Come on, Dirty. You got this." Like you're you like Mlan, man. Mlan's like a positive follower. He doesn't fall into these troll holes. You join the dark side. Shame on you. All right, let's get this stupid [] on the way. All right, that's slimer. What do we got here? Stop it. Stop it. You crazy. You crazy jerks. No, I'm not flying. I'm not flying. You're ready for no Man, I just wasted that second stack of [] points. You are not kidding. That is an appropriate day. That is not an appropriate bread problem. That's also appropriate. But brick is not. Shame on you. You know who you are. It's madness. It's madness. Oh my god. Now you're cashing the points in. The game is so far to the right. I can't. The microphone is in my face. Let's not get any more. No tilts. No tilts. All right, let's doing this. We got to break four billion. I'm ignoring all you jerks. Get in there. Please give me an extra ball. Please give me an extra ball. I'm begging you. I'm going to let it play out. Suspense. Yes, Stitch. I know. Stitch and I have a very important date and I'm playing [] pinball instead of hanging out with her. And I'm sorry. We're almost done. As soon as I'm done with this, then we're going to go do that thing. Okay. That's two hits for the Liberian. We need one more. That's it. That's complete. Nobody followed. Don't you dare get out of there. Stop it. Oh, that could have gone in. Wait, I want that [] I want Tobin's Spirit Guide again. No, I don't want the [] lock. I want Tobin's Spirit Guide cuz I want an extra ball. Give me that extra ball. Yes, we got it. We [] got it. Oh my god. I got to make this shot again. This is really important. This is serious business. I'm a scientist. Here we go. That's fine. That's fine. One more lock and a multiball would be good, too, cuz we'll definitely get that extra ball if we can lock it. Oh, man. I'm so stressed. Don't you dare turn the [] game off. Don't do it. That's so [] Oh my god, I'm so stressed. All right, extra ball. Here we go. Yes. [] yeah. Come on. Somebody do a nice reward. Can someone be nice? [] you. Well, I'm over here now cuz I had to move the game. It's probably why my neck hurts cuz I'm sliding this [] 800 lb pinball machine around. Here we go. We got that. We got that storage facility lit. Don't tilt me. Don't tilt me. Oh, giggity giggity. Here we go. Here we go. Nope, not it. Come on. Hit the extra ball. Oh my god. Is that another extra ball? Are we going to get to the wizard mode right [] now? Is that going to happen or is this game going to drain my ass? Okay, here we go. I'll take either. That's what I want. We're [] going. Thank you, Joe. Oh, I know. I was That was the target. Now we're going to get that extra ball cuz we got a ball save going. I don't even give a [] about all these stupid blinky lights. Lights are dumb. If your pinball machine has lights, get rid of them. [] not needed. Get out of here. Not literally. You really want that extra ball. Whereas now I can't hit [] That's fine. Come back. You better come back. Thank you. Did it just say what I think it just said? Did it just say, "Are you a god? Am I there?" I don't think so. That's cuz we got the go. Hurry up. That's what it is. No. Nope. Nope. No [] way. Not today, [] Yeah. All right. Today. Just kidding. The big score. We still got this extra ball. Yeah, that was not so good, but I don't really care. Yeah, add a ball would have been nice. Didn't happen. All right, we maxed our bonus out. We've got Mass Hysteria lit, so we're going to go for the ramp again and then hopefully get that extra ball. Just kidding. Got 2x Oh, that was almost it. Hey, Hey, watch it, rookie. Was not a micro flip. I did not want to do that. [] Shoot again. Okay, we still got the extra ball ready. We've got Mass Hysteria ready. We've got two more modes we need to do on the center ramp. I don't know. This is doable. Satie, [] you definitely could beat me with two hands behind your back. You know that. Let's see. You get four and a half billion on Ghostbusters. Everybody a troll today. All right, we're getting two. We're getting quarter billion of score off the skill shot now because you get 10% of your score when you uh successfully Oh god, I really wanted that to be in there. Here we go. I'll take the ramp or the extra ball. Either one. That's absolutely not what I want. Don't center drain me. Don't do it. Hey. Hey. Watch it. Let's get that extra ball. Can we please? Son of a [] That's fine. Got that. We got that ball saved. All I care about right now is getting that extra ball. That's the only thing I care about. And not getting any more dangers. There it is. We got it. Who gives a [] Extra ball. Bang. Extra ball. Kind of. All right. So, which mode do we got to do now? Give me that ball. What are you doing? Don't do it to me, Ghostbusters. Uh, no. no. Well, that should be enough. Hey, Hey, watch it, rookie. Where did my glove go? Did my glove explode off my hand? Oh, there it is. Oh, we got three more modes to get through. That's not good. But we do have 5 billion points. We might GC this [] finally. Yeah, Joe's right. So Joe's saying do the guide, which is correct. We want skill shot on there for the another potential extra ball. So let's slide this [] nice and carefully back over here. There we go. Getting sick of moving this game to Utah in order to save the ball. If you're enjoying the stream, thank you for hanging out so long with me. My neck is killing me, but man, we're having a banging game. If 5 billion points doesn't earn you a follow here or me a follow, you a follow, I'll follow you for getting 5 billion points here. There you go. That's the dirty promise. Every time I get 5 billion points on a game, I'll follow you. Anyways, enough of that [] Thank you so much for hanging out with me. Let's try to get this and see if we can get another extra ball. I don't need the center post, [] I got 5 billion. And now I'm going to fail at getting the wizard mode because this is this is dirty pool. We don't do things successfully here. Oh, come on. Suck. Suck off. All right, we're going to do we got one and hopefully start a wizard uh multiball at the same time. All I need to do is hit one shot. That's not an extra ball. Oh well. All right. Maybe that's got to be at least four. Let's [] go. Let's get that multiplier going. I don't [] know one one of those directions. I'm going to do it. I'm going to [] do it. I don't care. Give me those jackies. Give me those jacks. Stop distracting me. Stop it. Stop the [***] I'm blowing. I'm blowing. That's 6 seconds. Give it to me. I'm trying to problem. That's the name and the way down the drain.
