## Analysis

Bug from Spooky Pinball hosts a birthday stream playing Looney Tunes pinball with surprise in-person guests including Christopher Franchi, Luke, and family members. The stream showcases three newly added game modes (Long-Haired Hare, Scaredy Cat, and Tazmania sub-wizard mode) with detailed rules explanations, gameplay demonstrations, and playful banter about Acme items, mode mechanics, and code updates. The event combines competitive gameplay with behind-the-scenes Spooky factory culture and personal celebration.

### Key Claims

- [HIGH] Three new modes have been added to Looney Tunes since the last code update — _Bug states 'since my last stream, this game has gotten three new modes. Three.' and proceeds to demonstrate Long-Haired Hare, Scaredy Cat, and Tazmania_
- [HIGH] Tazmania is described as a 'sub-wizard mode' that is difficult to reach and may be adjusted for difficulty in future updates — _Bug: 'It's basically a sub-wizard mode of the game. It's pretty tough to get to. We'll probably make that more adjustable in the future.'_
- [HIGH] Long-Haired Hare mode involves conducting opera shots with a loudness meter mechanic — _Bug explains mode mechanics: 'we're going to be conducting shots to instruct the singer' with 'a loudness meter that we're going to start filling'_
- [HIGH] Scaredy Cat mode requires eliminating 100 mice to save Porky Pig, with pink Porky shots only visible during thunder strikes — _Bug: 'you're trying to get rid of all the mice...scaring mice out of the house' and 'You can only see the pink Porky shot while the thunder is going off'_
- [HIGH] Players can hold infinite Acme items and cycle between them using the extra flipper button — _Luke Peters states 'Infinite. You can hold infinite items' and Bug confirms 'you can use the extra flipper button to cycle between which one I want'_

## Transcript

 You Have something pretty tonight we have pinball zombies I'm wasting away again in Margaritaville. Hi, y'all. How we doing? Ah, shit. I mean, oh, shoot. It's a Looney Tunes stream. Can't swear. Family stream tonight. We'll keep it friendly after I just immediately swore. My bad. How are we all doing tonight? It is more Vegemite eating? No. No. Yeah, fancy seeing you here. Fancy seeing you here, Evil Dead. Oh my God, we get to see each other in like a couple weeks here. I just saw my sister's car drive off in the mirror. At the window outside. What was that about? I swear to God, I just saw my sister's Tesla drive past my house through my window. What was that? I must investigate. Did they drop off a person? What are you doing, Morgan? Weirdo. I'm being stalked midstream. Gosh. Pinball follows you home, man. The work, it follows you everywhere. Follows you everywhere. Rob Zombie in America's Most Haunted is my favorite. You know, I actually just popped into the Rob Zombie thread recently. And there's a lot of activity going on in there. People are just talking about their mods. They just picked it up. They're looking for one. It's cool to see so much love for Rob Zombie Machine. All these years later. All these years later. But why was my sister here? What was that all about? I'm going to be ambushed by someone in a minute here, I bet. I bet they dropped off, like, Luke or something. Something's afoot here. Yes, she did get a Tesla. She's an electric vehicle girl. The vegans of the car industry. Actually, in my opinion, the manual drivers are the vegans. But we won't get into all that. We don't talk about cars here because I don't know anything about them. So, not very punctual. This is embarrassing. Yeah, I don't know what the hell's going on there. Anyway, guess what? We're playing new code. And you may be like, but guys, you just put out new code. We have more new code, and it's not just for a bug fix. It's a whole new mode. We have a whole new mode that we're going to be playing tonight that you guys have never seen yet, and as well as two other modes that I for sure haven't streamed yet. You've probably seen them if you've been playing the new code or if you've been playing games on location. You might have seen a couple of the other new modes, but since my last stream, this game has gotten three new modes. Three. So we're going to go through all of those new modes tonight, as well as bring on a couple special guests that I planned for, and maybe one I didn't. So we'll see what all that's about. But yeah, we're just going to hang out and have a good time. Thank you all for the birthday wishes. Holy crap, my phone was blowing up after Morgan made that post earlier. So you guys are all super sweet. Thank you. I really do appreciate it. It means a lot to me that you guys reach out and everything. So thank you for being here. It looks like we got a poppin' crowd tonight. Oh yeah, we're doing good, we're doing good. So thank you all for being here. Super excited to be playing the new code with you guys. Super excited to just hang out, have fun with you guys, and enjoy the birthday evening, the Bugs Bunny. I was so happy. I didn't really plan it on purpose, but it dawned on me last night, like, oh, Looney Tunes is the perfect birthday game for the whole Bugs Bunny's birthday ball or bash or whatever the hell it's called. But yeah, what's funny on Twitch, you may think I just misspelled it because I'm an idiot. Twitch doesn't like the word loony, so they were not accepting me as putting in loony tunes for the stream. So hence the funny spelling. What is going on? My phone's going off. I'm trying to see if I'm going to get snuck up on. Whatever. Let's move on. Let's play some new code here. Make sure my audio is all set correctly. it should be. It should be. I'll get the game on. I'll probably have to turn it up a little bit. But yeah, thank you guys for coming out and let's enjoy some new code. Let's jump into some deets. Some deets. Let's go ahead and turn that up a little bit. Overview of new code. Yes, absolutely. New modes. That's what's up. I technically am behind right now. I usually, I always stream whenever we do a new code. I'm three behind right now, so we're going to be going over kind of the last three updates, primarily the modes. That's still how you hit the skill shot. So at game start, you're just going through, you're still hitting your white shots to go and light your mode. Now, so I just hit that crate there, and when you hit the crate when it's closed, it's going to light red shots on your play field. Those red shots force you out the out lane. No, those red shots qualify Taz-mania. You know, with Taz being... I think I was a little late. Oh no, I did get it. I don't know if you could hear the sound cue. There's a Taz winding up sound effect there. But basically, you hit the crate whenever it's closed in base gameplay. It will light a red shot. You hit enough red shots and you will start Taz-mania, which is a super in-depth mode. It's basically a sub-wizard mode of the game. It's pretty tough to get to. We'll probably make that more adjustable in the future. But yeah, Tasmania, super fun mode. I'm hoping to get to it tonight. It's gonna take some work. But first, let's look at some other modes. Like this new one! Long-Haired Hare. One of the classic episodes that everybody knows as Bugs Bunny conducting the opera. And that's exactly what you're doing. You start off by conducting? It's conducting, right? Yeah, conducting the opera from France! Oh, Anas! Hey, good to see you! Thanks for tuning in! We appreciate it. Yeah, so we're going to be conducting shootlet shots to instruct the singer. All right, so we got a couple blue shots here that we're going to go for. Actually, it's three. There's the first one. He's singing at us. What time is it in France? All right, next one. Keep this going. Oh, that would have been nice to catch that in orbit there. I love the song in this one. I hope... Oh, dang. It's okay. We'll be back. Warm-up game. Warm-up game. Uh-oh. LCD camera frozen. We will fix that. Let's fix that. What the hell is going on here? What? What? I'm fixing my... Oh, sheesh. It's everybody, dude. Oh, my God. Who's on the phone? Guess who I got on the phone? Who all is here? Oh, it's Franchi. Oh, my God. Hang on. Oh, this just got insane. I'm getting sung at. Well, this is... Oh, it's on YouTube. I'll take over gameplay. Do it! Oh, he froze the camera. No! Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Very good long note. Oh, my goodness. Good night, everybody. Oh, my gosh. What did I do? This isn't even hard. You don't have a camera? You broke the camera. I just started playing. What do you think, Seth? It's just the face camera. We're just talking in the dark. Someone turn the lights out. I just got to make sure. Oh, here we go. What's going on? We broke the internet. We broke it. Oh, Morgan unplugged the thing. It's a Looney Tunes stream. You can't swear. I know. I said quicker. We broke everything that broke Just stay tuned guys I'm so sorry We're coming back Don't worry It's not broke We're still here Don't worry They haven't actually seen A single second of it believe it or not Oh my god, this is my best piece ever. No way! Yeah! Where did you get this made? I ordered it. Dude! That's so crazy. I ordered it. That looks just like my shirt! Yeah! That looks just like my shirt! And Luke's next tattoo. Put it on my lap. Dude, you gotta drain so I can show people. No. No. He's like, no. Here, I gotta turn off my background thing. There we go. Let's make it a little so it catches more people. Oh, my goodness. Is everybody still there? I'm so sorry that we killed the stream for two seconds. Oh, yeah, we're all still here. Dude, I'm trying to show off this cake. Dude, I'm trying to show off this cake. You know he wouldn't give you a break. There's more? Oh, my God. I would have cleaned my room if I knew everybody was going to be here. Oh, wow, now you got two cakes. Dude. You got the Joey special. What is happening? Oh, my God. You didn't even put the logo on it. Let's calm down the birthday stuff. There's gameplay going on. It was really hard to do that with frosting that thing. I believe you. You're not even showing them the new modes. No, I didn't even select that one yet. Oh, my goodness, guys. I wanted to leave that for you. That's a good call. This is a surprise I saw your car outside I saw the Tesla Busted I was so confused what was going on Did you know about this? Of course you did Can't trust anybody around here Bunch of animals Dude, can Sutton play? No Look at this. I'm walking this to wizard mode right now. We got to put it in first. No, I'm kidding. What? I kind of like holding both. He's a double cake holding Nintendo guy. I got two cakes. You can't take one from me. These are mine. My name's literally on both of them. So that one's your dad's top secret recipe with applesauce instead of oil. Applesauce? I guess it's not top secret. You say, top secret, huh? Dude, I wish I could share this cake with everybody. This is why they won't tell me what the next game is. I don't know if you're seeing this game, but... Can you drain? No. The game doesn't drain. Ruining my mojo here.

He's killing the same, isn't he? He's doing really good. He's locking a ball and hitting the hurry up shot On hide and go tweet Eric is vigorously coding wizard mode right now Just to get ahead of me We're going to need a code update Hey ho KT Oh my gosh mom's probably never been on the stream Get over here Mom was the original host Mom was the original co-host Of the spooky pinball podcast She's no stranger to Dude this game's too easy Yep, flipper code worked. Endless ball save when I'm playing. Those repeatable ram shots. Plus she let me quit my job, which is why you're standing here today. True. Oh, you did not ask permission. I was going to say, like, you asked permission to quit your job and do this. You had your mind made up before you got home. You were just like, I really hope she goes. He's like, man, this is really awkward because if she says no, I'm still going to do it. Watch this. I've got this. I've seen wrestling. You're hitting his bald spot. Yeah, I know. Oh, that's getting... Wow, he's almost as bad as me. Yeah, I know. In case you're wondering what it's like at the Spooky Factory, we just insult each other all day long. All we do is make fun of each other brutally. That's why I go on Pinside. Yeah, we go on Pinside to feel better about ourselves. Yeah, I want to show you the cake, but Luke said...

All right, move that so I can get the wizard vote on ball three. I'll warn you, the frosting on that chocolate one is way too thick. Perfect. Give me my cake back. There you go. We should probably start serving that up. Yeah, I got plates. If you got plates and a knife and things. My cake wasn't as fancy as you thought it would be. Look, these people actually... Can you hear me right now? Oh, hardly. Where's the rest of my mics? I can start hooking other people up here. I don't remember where I moved everything either. Maybe I put it in my closet. Yeah, here we go. I know one of these mics is faulty. Check, check, check. Does this mic sound okay? Is there any buzzing or humming going on guys Does it still sound okay I never met Spooky Mom Okay We gonna get a little comfortable here for a second Luke Is your mom Spooky Mom? There you go. Oh, I put it on backwards. Yeah, no. It works better down there because you don't have a neck. Alright. Can everybody hear me running this stream now? Wait, did you turn it on yet? Yeah, I turned it on. I love you. So weird. Microphone, microphone. Adding another mic. Everything sound good? Everything sound good? They're like, I know one of these is super faulty, so you're going to have to tell me when one sounds bad. But the gameplay is stellar. Yeah, the gameplay's not bad. Look at you go. Sounds good. All right. Who wants the other microphone? AJ should. He's never really been on stream. Okay, perfect. Hook you up. Come on. Get in there. Hook you up. Oh, God, I dropped it on the floor. I am so sorry, guys. That was so loud, I bet. There you go. It's perfect. Oh, I got the shot X, man. Anyway, did you explain the scaredy cat moment to them? The scaredy cat moment. I couldn't tell what I was playing. It's 100% ending up in her mouth. Yeah, she's eating it. He said choking hazard, and from what I've learned, you don't give those to babies. I don't know what your problem is playing this game, man. That runs fine for me. You just drain all the time. That's because you built this one. Yeah, oh, that's right. You built this one. Not Corwin. Can I have my cake? Your sister flipped my cake upside down. Do you want to cut your cake? No. I don't trust myself. Somebody more talented than me should do that. Oh, shot X again. On accident. Okay, well this is a real stream now. Holy crap. Hey, you didn't know it was happening. No, I genuinely know. There's not even any rumblings of this to me. The drop didn't get picked in Raw. This is what I was saying before. You said you could trust us. The one that you trust the most is the one that's betrayed you three times now. Whose idea was it? It wasn't my idea, but I did know. Oh, you did know. No, but he did know. Whose idea was it? I might have. I think it was ages ago. I might have did it on a roll. So what happens if I put my name in? The game... When you said last Thursday you were doing a stream, it was just perfect. If this changes the age... This is why Luke was like, you need to do a better job of telling your screams ahead. I was advertising for myself. I showed him out on Monday. I was like, hey, dude, nobody knows when you're going to give away stuff ahead of time. Oh, nobody can hear the game? You're just trying to sabotage my entire gameplay video here. We gotta get a picture, right? A photo, okay. And a cake, okay. That's hot, folks! That was a fine looking cake. What are we doing next? Are we doing a four player game or what are we doing? Step to your right. She's got the light in the background. Okay. I'm gonna go ahead... You know what? You guys playing? No? Yeah, I would like to play. I gotta show the modes. They're here for code. We'll do one. Yeah, you can do that. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Yeah, you can do that. All right. One shot. She looks happy. She looks happy. I would like to go down to hire everybody on camera and pick one who was made after a Motley Crue punchline. That's too funny. That should be a ball save just for you. How many times can you do that in a row? I hit it four or five earlier, I think. Oh, is that going to count? Oh, you hit it too far. I can't even lie about it either because it's on film. You're like, yeah, I hit this seven times. Okay, so this is the new mode again. You should beat this mode so I can explain it. Okay, I'm not going to do that. So he's going to hit blue shots at the start of the mode to conduct the opera singer. And then there's going to be a loudness meter that we're going to start filling after that. Yep, that's what we're going to do. Yes, for sure. West One Dynasty. All right, blue shots. Don't mess this up. I'm going to drain right now. He was just playing so good. I could literally see your brain turning off right now. I saw in those last two clips. Your motor function's just like zero. You can't put pressure on me like that. There's one. All right. Another one. Yeah, two more. There's another. Oh, they're roaming, aren't they? Yes. They're moving at me. They move after you hit them. How am I supposed to hit them? Just keep moving them. Oh, thank you. Dude, I just had a brownie before the stream, too. Hey, I didn't beat them all. I don't tell you man, the game's broke. The game's broke. Alright. Flipper buttons fell apart. Couldn't flip. Now that I got cake in my mouth. I have a whole audience watching me play pinball in person. Yeah, I did get the rocket multiple times. Oh no. Where do you think you're going? Turn it on. Turn the brain on. Okay. Oh, beautiful. I can just hear everyone eating cake behind me. Right? Just the sounds of cake. Hopefully they're mic'd up. You hear Charlie eating cake. Yeah. Oh, my goodness. You're not gonna be fighting me, you'll be fighting my wife, so... I don't make the rules, Chuck. AJ's a lover, not a fighter. Uh, no, we don't want that mode. By the way, you can hit the action button to change your modes now. So we kinda showed you long-haired hair, let's take a look at Scaredy Cat. Which is a Sylvester episode that I really wanted in the game. So in Scaredy Cat, you're trying to get rid of all the mice that are trying to basically kill Porky Pig. big, but there's a thousand mice and you're trying to get rid of them, you know, just like a thousand corpses in Rob Zombie. Mm-hmm. I've got a big chunk of my turn in the mouth. Look at that light show. I love, love, love the music in this mode, too. Ooh, action button. Okay, I've got to spot a shot for my Acme item. Okay, so every shot in this mode is lit, and as you progress and hit more and more of those it's gonna light a random pink shot, which is basically a save Porky event. Yeah, as we hit everything, you'll see that we're scaring mice out of the house. You can see it counting down from 100% down to zero. Keep going. Over and over. Dang it. Cake and dad are two favorite things. Okay, we got TNT at a ball as well. Okay, so the porky shots, like I said, they get added as you collect more blue shots throughout it. You can only see the pink porky shot while the thunder is going off. So the thunder goes off, the playfield goes white. I just saw it was at the left orbit, and now it's hidden again. So you have to pay attention during the thunder strikes to go and collect your shot. And if you're cool like me, you backhand it. Okay. She's happy. Yes, every switch scares away mice, like Luke Peters said. We're getting there. Okay, the pink shot's at the inner orbit, it looks like, so I want to set up my right flipper and hit that inner orbit. Bugs that he remembered every line, too. Left ramp now. I love that call-out from Porky. Okay, we're most of the way there. We got 10% mice left. 5%. Let's hit the road learner loops to finish it. Oh yeah, we scored a boatload for that mode. Just like that, you have more points. Yeah, if you... You beat the most. Let's talk to Luke Peters about the scoring. So, continuing to hit white shots for our modes, looks like I have a Taz shot lit at the right ramp. Like I said, if you hit the crate when it's closed, and then red shots to light Tazmania. There we go. So also, when I hit the crate, I'm collecting my Acme items. One of the items that you can get from the crate actually helps you to acquire Tasmania, because it lights a whole bunch of red shots in the playfield for you. I also got a Marvin the Martian mode lit. Can you rotate those items now, now that you have them? Yeah, so since I have multiple items up there, I can use the extra flipper button to cycle between which one I want. You can see that on the screen there. Woo-hoo-hoo! How many can you hold? A lot. Yeah, I don't think there's a gap. I don't know about Unlimited, but quite a few. Marvin mode. I'd love to do a Marvin mode. I don't think I've played many Marvin modes on screen. We need Luke. Oh, Luke Peters in there. You can use that one now. Infinite. You can hold infinite items. That's amazing. Instant Martian mode. I know there's a ton of them in the game. Can you stack them all at one shot, too? Like, save up 10 and use them all? Yeah, if you hit the button 10 times. That's what I figured. I don't know what Luke Peters is doing with rules and things, though. All right. Oh, that's cool. So we're shooting green shots. Green shots. Delays, delays. That's actually what I say every day when Luke calls me down to his office while I'm working on something. Delays. I really do bother you all day. Yeah. That's okay. I would be sad if you didn't. Good, because I wasn't going to apologize. Ha ha ha. Oh, that's sad. I want to make one quick adjustment here. We'll be back in two seconds. We'll be back in two seconds. I'll fight the white wall for you. Alright. I want more cake. Where'd my cake go? You had my cake. Go get him, AJ. You son of a gun. Let's see how we do here. Ooh, AJ's playing time to talk magic. Payback is sweet, huh? God. Oh, that's not what I would do. I'm not Nathan. I feel like he's going to pull out the most wicked flipper skills you've ever seen. I had no idea he was a stats player. We're not in high hopes at all. Ball save. That's usually what you get when you play. This is why I talk more than I play, Corwin. Use the infinite ball save flipper code. Eric never shared that with me. Oh, just missed. He's got a hook. Please get it. Oh, you're changing it. Okay, whatever. You want a long hair? It's your game. I'll piss off. There's a baby. If you count on me hitting Roman shots, we're in trouble. Don't give me the frosting. I'm good. The champ is here. You're getting hyped up in the chat right now, AJ. Until they see me play like Chris Cable. Why are you saying Chris again? I'm so mean. Unplug that camera again. We need to keep the mystery of the AJ's gameplay skills alive. This is how a normal person plays the game. You're not doing bad. I'm keeping the ball alive. Everyone's good at this game except for Corwin. Scoreboard! God dang it. Oh man, this cake is going to make me the thirstiest person on earth. Right down the center. Luke Peters is yelling at you for skipping that light show. He's like, hey, I worked hard on that. Did you not skip that? You've got to hand him that. The guy makes some really nice light shows. He does. And it hurts me to compliment him. Get there, Charlie. Go get player four. Go get player four. You can play a game with your son today. That was good. 20 years later, we're still playing. Yeah, just think, 22 years ago he was just swimming around inside of you. That was a little graphic. Right on the blanket. There's going to be so much cake on my face, I can tell. Stop! The red shot. Where'd my LaCroix go? I'm so thirsty now. Right in between there. I can't believe you're doing that. I'm actually convinced LaCroix doesn't hydrate you. I was not prepared for this. There's no water in that can. I don't know what it is, but... I think it's salt. Yeah. And maybe it's just salt water. I don't know. Do you play pinball anymore? Whatever it is. Yeah. Oh, okay. I do. I'm sorry. It just looks like... I know. I feel like every time I say it's going to be a family stream, I go back on my word within minutes. They call us out in the chat. It's because we're bad people. Does Twitch have a family-friendly rating system or no? I have no idea. Clearly. I know you can't show your nipples. What? That might be the only rule on Twitch. Yeah, that's BigBangerJ on the stream once. I know. He had to put duct tape on it. Really? Yep. So a little tape fixes it, though, huh? No. Somebody, Luke, is tape an item in the game that I can collect? I could use some right now. I don't think Acme tape is what you want to put on your nipples. The coyote. It would not end well. My kid is watching and I don't have a problem. That's good. That's good. How do you collect items? So when the Acme Crate door is shut and you bash it, it will... There more people here What Hi Dylan I gonna eat your cake Leave the door open All right now explain the acme items I need that You bash the door, the magnet will grab the ball, throw it in there, and that's how you collect items. So whenever the crate is shut, you bash the crate, and then you can get items. So if you need items, go back to the crate. Dylan, you're now player three. You're now player three. Oh, AJ's back in it. He backed out. We're gonna take the little one home. Oh yeah, it's way past her bedtime. Wait, what time do babies go to bed? She goes to bed at 6.15. No kidding. I can't throw up late for Corwin. Oh, thank you. I think I might be a baby. She looks so tired. Wait, you have to bring her on camera real quick. So she can say goodnight. Oh, the outlay. You got to say goodnight. Oh, this is a good opportunity. Next break. I'm out of the way. Goodnight. Goodnight, Brady and Adrian. Goodnight. Everybody say goodnight to Sutton. Oh no! Her tail's gone! Oh no! What did you do? What did I do? Happy birthday, buddy. Get out! Oh, it's me. Let's go get her to bed. All right. You're super cool. We'll see you guys. Happy birthday. Your music inclines the audience. Oh! Luke's bedtime is 6.15. It is. It really is. Honest to God. I uh, it's well known that if I don't get enough sleep, I'm like a little toddler running around and using juice box. I've seen it. Yeah, yeah you have. Far side Morgan, pass the house. On the... Elm Street. Every town has an Elm Street. Alright, we got more Taz building up. I'd really like to get the Taz mode. Maybe I might just focus on that. Let's be a savage and do that. Alright. It got very quiet in here all of a sudden. I hope everybody enjoys the sound of me eating cookies. I was saying earlier, I was just standing here, all I could hear was cake eating in the background behind me. It's a big turkey cake. Ah. I didn't hit it clean. And then I hit the post. I'd do better. Oh, and it disappeared. Man, those go away too fast. He's changing the rules of the game. Every stream I change one thing in code to be easier. Inner loop. Done, son. We're getting there. We're like, not quite halfway on that Tasmania meter. I couldn't tell for sure, but it did feel like about halfway through while I was playing. But I must have used like an Acme item to turn off the tilt That's a good idea actually I like that If I'm not entering any modes right now guys it's because I'm purposefully trying not to because I'm trying to build Tasmania Like that Okay, so that's gonna get me a new Acme item as well as like my red shot what am I getting? It should be. Tell Luke Peters. 10x character. Everybody tell Luke Peters in the chat that we need an Acme item that turns off the tilt for 30 seconds. Bug just turns his off by not installing him in the game. Ever. I actually tell him don't even wire it on the line. Yeah, we just save the tilt, Bob. Okay, there's another. You can always tell when he's been to the house. Yeah, just drop him out of the bottom. We're getting a lot closer on Tasmania here. Oh, I did light a mode, though. At least he leaves them in the cabinet. Like, spread them around the house. Oh, that's what you need to do. No. We got to get through this freaking opera mode. Long-haired hair. You can do it. All right, maximum focus. I love the classical music so much. All right, blue shots. We're gonna conduct that poor gentleman there. Set me up. Okay, shots are rolling. Hit a shot. As soon as this mode starts, we all forget how to play. I don't know what our deal is. I do the same thing at the shop upstairs. Luke kept trying to show me the mode the other day, and as soon as he would go to show me the mode, drain every time. It's a disease. Okay, there's one. Two. Interloop. Nope. Left ramp. Okay. Volume meter. Start hitting all these shots. I really wish you guys were here in person, because the game goes absolutely bonkers during this. The shaker motor is building right now. This mode's so ridiculous. I find it hilarious. Oh my god! The shaker's building in intensity the whole time he's doing this. He's still going! We made it through, holy crap. Okay, more Tasmania. Hit that crate. What's your high score on this thing so far? I have no idea. No. I brought this game home today, so... No, no, I mean in general. Like, what's your best... Oh, like 800 mil? I don't know. A third of the way there. Okay. I gotta hit the crate still to collect my items, so it closes again. There we go. All right. Captain Ball hits doubled. Okay, that's really good. You want to use that during multiball for a super jackpot. What did you just do there? I totally suck. Hammer star! Hammer star! Luke Peters says use some items. Spot a shot. Nah, you don't want that yet. 75. Boost. 10x carrot targets. That's not bad. Yeah, why not? Now hit the carrot target. Oh that's nice, it gives you a timer at the bottom so you know how long it lasts to when it's running out. I know as soon as I did that I was going to lose it. Who's player three? Oh it's Dylan's player three. Dylan you're player three now. AJ played your first ball but then he ran away to put his kid to sleep because his kid sleeps a lot. Wait one second guys. you All right, now that the nipple tape has been... ...applicated. All right. Rock and roll-off. Let's get this show on the road, Doc. Which is a Judas Priest album. Is this the start of Bugs' Only Fans? Oh, sure it is! Let me put on my Only Fans outfit. Where did it go? You have one? It's over here. This is actually my first time playing a production game. Uh-oh. Looks like someone has to look under here. Alright. No kidding? Yeah, it would be, wouldn't it? Yeah. You've only played the upstairs for other types. Yep. This thing's gonna be a Cadillac! I have never seen this version of the playfield in person before. I also have no idea what the rules are, so... there so Charlie you're up buddy you're up just feeling the boat you're aggressing a little kid in a show just walk up start slapping it? Not fast enough, David. Oh my god. He drains. All right, I'm going to go to this thing that's being prototyped that didn't make the front. Oh, man. Honestly, I need to get back. I was posting a whole bunch of the, like, prototype stuff to my Spooky Luke Facebook page, but I haven't been doing that lately. I need to get back on it. There's too many things in pinball to get to all of them, but I will have to get back to that. But if you go back, if you go to my Spooky Loops Facebook page and scroll back, you'll find a lot of different TCM and Looney Tunes pre-production stuff, even some Halloween Ultraman and Scooby on there too. so yeah the game just like to everything yeah originally we had Taz inserts where the TNT is now. So those guys were flip-flopped from the original concept. I was hurtful. Ooh, there it is. Thank God for that unlimited ball save. There, recruit. I can just hear Bug just rustling around back there. What are you doing back there? Do you have your OnlyFans outfit on yet? Shoot the red shot Oh god You guys just don't want me to play You're just scared that I'm going to outplay you on stream Monster Oh Oh He's even going to do the noises We've off there it is no you're fine you're up you got a play now look up to the game here goes a stream for sure not use it use some of those items you're just hoarding them up there Luke Peters is just neck vein pop it out right now like Please use the items I gave you! I know what mode I want! Your mic just sounds like it's in a tornado. We've been working on when it's acceptable to do things like this in public and when it's not recently. He's not getting it. I think you actually play better with a costume on. Multiball! Yeah! I have my mic off right now if I want to. Oh, you do? Yeah, I turned it off. I know better. That's great. We're going to have very one-sided arguments. You can't even fight back. Where is the door going? That wasn't my best one as well. Rock and balls. Why are you still beating me? Where is it? Yeah, right? The good news is, if we add up all of our scores, we almost get to a third of his. In a suit. Wait, oh, this is a good time to use spot a shot. No, shit! Morgan's just next to me whispering the future answers to the trivia questions right in my microphone. I look cool. I look cool. Alright, Dylan. Come get after it, buddy. Ooh, questions. Hey, can I... Bug, can I turn this laptop? Or no. Or will I break something? Can this laptop be rotated without me breaking something? Just let me do it. I'm being careful. Oh, we're good. I can read it from here. All right. Luke, question. The one I played from the last game. Oh. When I did it, Perry was going to... So, one thing I will say, after 500 plays at a show, just non-stop, the coils are just warm. And every show that we go to, one of the biggest issues in the fight is voltage. Like, you never get the full voltage that you're supposed to get to the machines. So I would suspect that if your scoop isn't shooting all the way around, then you need to call Mr. Spooky Tech AJ, and he'll get you fixed up. But yes, it absolutely should and will. The shows are kind of a double-edged sword because in a way, it's great to get exposure out there, but it's also really tough because you can't hear the game. You can't, I guess you don't get to focus on a lot of the gameplay elements and appreciate them the way you do when you're at home. It's quiet. Yeah, to say the least. Woo-hoo! What? Well, don't be on the fence. On the fence? Don't be. That's how Bug feels every day. He's like, well, I just have this, this, and this. And I'm like, well, just don't. Yeah, so we're finding that, I guess, 6.5 probably maximum steepness. People are turning them down to even like 6.2 range. And the game is playing really well in that region. But yeah, if you have your game cranked up to like 7.2 degrees like Scooby and you're trying to launch that scoop around, that's not going to work very well for you. And honestly this game just plays really nice at about 6 to 6 You're kind of strong for an old person. I'm a big dude and you knocked me off my... You about took me down. Oh, don't whisper the question. I see. Oh, yeah, the shows, I always cringe. You're at a show, and the games, everybody's so excited to play, they're just flipping and playing nonstop, and it's just got to be a sauna inside the cabinet. We checked audits on TCM. It had 1,000 plays. Yeah, 1,000 plays. 1,000 plays at Midwest Gaming Classic. Which I thought was insane. I was thinking 300, 400, but those games were getting delayed. Any game that can get through 1,000 plays. That's a good weekend. Yeah. A lot of people. Back to back. Homeownership. What do you think the average person puts on a game at home? It really depends on the person. Some people really play just like hard and daily. Like Doug Grossman every day. Yeah, absolutely. And some people, it's like on the weekend. Where is Doug? Is Doug here in the screen? I saw him in there earlier. Was he? Oh, there he is. DNA. You said it and there he is. It's the second comment. Hi, Doug. Craft time at home builds Charlie's muscles. Oh, Don got his sign today. Don's pinball podcast sign you made? Yeah. Yeah, he's super stoked. He's not there, I don't think. He's busy doing his own live streams from local shopping centers and whatnot. Yeah, they're my favorite. He does Facebook Lives when he goes grocery shopping, and it's some of the most therapeutic pinball, non-pinball content I've ever seen. Oh, hey, Rotordave. Rotordave! Oh, that spring boxing glove animation is really cool. yeah we were texas was insane for us we we worked all day and then drove all night got to texas um spent seven or eight hours setting up and then it was right into it and that and we were we were awake for a good 48 hours yeah we were awake for a good solid couple days straight and then we kind of kept forgetting to eat yeah the booth was just there was so many games we had 20 games in that corner and and it was awesome there were so many people coming over everyone's so excited to play one of the wildest shows we've had i think definitely the wildest one i've been tons of people luke used to make fun of me because i'd go to shows and come back freaking wiped out he'd be like you just drove you're just sitting Get to work. Yeah, sometimes I regret that. Oh, who might that be? Can I put my initials in this game, or is it going to spank me? Do it. Let's see it. Eric, I trust you. For the record, I honestly don't know. We're really cool, Eric. You don't got to do this to me. Please, God, Eric, make this change to AJ. Please. Eric is the best programmer at Spooky Pinball. Eric! Oh shit! I'm not a programmer. What have you done? Hey I did not get last. Oh we got a match. Hey Morgan, since you're here, I have a task for you. And it is to give away a playfield. You want to come over here and do that real quick? Yeah, I'll get out of the way. I'll just have to go get it. I'm gonna go get it. Oh, I'm gonna go get it. Oh, I'm gonna go get it. I'm gonna go get it. Oh, I'm gonna go get it. I'm gonna go get it. Oh, I'm gonna go get it. Oh, I'm gonna go get it. Oh, I'm gonna go get it. Oh, I'm gonna go get it. I'm just standing in front of the camera. I'm gonna just shove my head into the camera. You know me, the camera turns on and I get in front of it. Go ahead. For a Looney Tunes Playfield. Yep, for a Looney Tunes Playfield, make sure you email SpookyPrize at gmail.com with your address if you win. Wait. It's under my shirt, you can't pull it too far. Do it. Is that better? That'll have nipple tape on it. Don't rip my shirt. You don't have to hold it very close. It's okay. So, for Looney Tunes Playfield, I wrote a character on the back of this birthday plate. First person to guess it wins. There is a mirror behind you. First person to guess what character is on the back of this plate wins the Looney Tunes Playfield. Have at it. I like this playfield. Oh, I got it. Oh, my God. I haven't seen it yet. Whoever said strangle him, you win. Nope, nope, nope, nope. Nope, nope, nope, nope. We have a winner. Panzer Kyle is our winner. It was Granny? It was Granny. It was Granny. Which is a really good choice for a character. I was going to say, you've got to show the proof. I wouldn't believe it if you just told me. Granny, Panzer Kyle, you are our winner. Email spookyprize at gmail.com for your... Thank you for holding that. You're welcome. That's what they do in those videos online. You ever see the videos online where they go out in the street and they like... Stupid Gen Z being like, stupid. Anyway. All right. You want to throw them on the wait screen one more time and demike me, and we will leave you to do your stream properly. You're going to leave me? Yeah. I already showed everyone what actual gameplay looks like. Okay. Here. I'll take your mic. There you go. All right. Well, say goodbye at least. Get on camera and say goodnight. You took my mic. I can't say bye. Good thing I have two. Get over here. Get over here. All right. Bye, everybody. we are heading out you could do it better start over it's that one see the laptop you got this set up all wrong no it's not that's my good side get mom in here oh oh hey it's mom who hasn't said anything no look your move your head your head blocks everything your head All right. Big head. Say something, Mom. Hi. Wow them. Wow them? Yes. Hi. You put people under pressure like that. I know. It's not good. What was it like? Hang on. We're interviewing Mom now. What was it like being the co-host on the original Spooky Pinball podcast? Torture. Torture? Oh, come on. It wasn't that bad. Because he always made me ask the really embarrassing or stupid questions. Oh, so he would save like the the really thoughtful creative questions for himself. Yeah She would embarrass basically Nordman and Ferreris and And Steve and yeah, that part was fun, but everything else He's never said that out loud by the way Good thing we were recording That's never happened Got you bitch. Anyway Happy birthday, my son. Thank you. I appreciate the surprise. You're all lovely. See you, man. Oh, wow. Sorry about the mic, guys. Well, now that I'm alone. Goodness me. Okay, give me two seconds here to reconfigure some stuff. And how old are you, turd? I am 22 years old. You're basically Carl Dudley Jr. Is that how old he was? 21. He was 21? Yeah. Oh, my God. And he's like, we're making all the war. Well, people used to also fight wars at like 15 back then, so. Yes. Yeah, and the average life expectancy was probably over 32. Yeah. All righty. We're going to do a couple more. Yeah, I'm going to eat cake on stream and hang out with these fine people and chat. Holy crap. All right. We're going out the casket loading door. They're exiting the funeral home. Oh, okay. Where were we? That was something, wasn't it? Can you bring me the cat? Let's do that. I'm ready for a game with the cat. Who wants some cats on pins? I think we do a cats on pins. And then maybe we call it a night. Ugh. What a family. Where's that cake? I'm going to show you guys this cake again. Isn't this the darndest thing? In case you want to see how much damage we did on the cake. It is now half a logo. You knew it was coming? You knew about this, Franchi? I can't keep a secret. You dirty dog. Wow, I'm wiped out now My brain doesn't even know where to go from here Other than cats on pins Which I have a cat being brought to me Oh, AJ's already back Sweet Bring me kitten Yes, alright You guys know what time it is She sees the lights, she's already Oh, she's locked in She's ready to kill Oh, pitiful little noise. All right. You ready, Ginger? Let's rock this. Let's see how far we can get with this cat. The reason you always have to finish with the cat on the pin is because she leaves a lot of footprints. Oh, goodness me. My knee is really bad, cat. I can't be crouched like this. You're laying down already? Are you tired? This is why they say don't work with animals. This is why only Steve Irwin can pull it off. Oh my goodness. Chase it. What are you doing? You're on camera. Don't be shy. Here it comes. She knows it. She's smart enough. She's got it figured out where it's going to come from. Yeah. But she's not smart enough to know that it just went that way most of the time. She usually starts looking over the game like, where'd it go? Laying down again? You lazy bones. What are you doing to me? What are you doing to me? Lazy bones. Let's do scaredy cat again. We didn't get to... Let's do this one again. Because it's a mode about chasing mice. So obviously the kitty cat. wants to play. I won't skip the light show because I know Luke Peters wants it. Hi, baby. Just sit tight. The ball's coming. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. Oh! And a ball lock. Ooh, we should get multiball. I bet she goes nuts. I know, that rocket took the ball. How'd that happen? See? Pinball moments. They work on cats, too. Okay, hit the crate so we can get multiball. There we go. The lightning shaker should keep her up. Alright, multiball. Let's get it. No! No! Oh, we got another ball. We're good. We're good. Shake that one off, man, and get back out there. See, she's figuring out that the balls are in the trough right there. You can see from that angle just down in there. So she, like, gets a little anxious. We gotta get one moving or she'll start trying to claw her way through the game. In shot. Oh, my gosh. Whenever she lays down, it's so much harder, actually. All right, Anvil Frenzy, let's get an attaball going with it. Oh, my goodness. Are you getting bored? Pay attention! You're done? Ginger! Is this what it's like for you parents when, like, your kid has a choir concert, and they just stop singing halfway through? I have friends that would do that, you know, in second, third grade or whatever. I suppose kindergarten is more appropriate than third grade. Oh, there she goes. Now she's back into it. Okay, chase it. Are you leaving? No way. What is this? You want to play Nightmare instead? Well, fine. I'll just play by myself in this glass that is completely covered with cat hair and prints. Oh, you're coming back, aren't you? Are you pouncing for the kill? Do it. Get it. Get it. No? What are you deciding here? You're going to rub your face on the wire. Leave this freaking creature here. What are you doing? What are you doing over there? You're too good for this? Alright. Let's do a Q&A. Careful showing the Oh good point We should have been safe I think we were safe Alright Say goodnight Ginger Say goodnight to the people That's enough of you Alright guys I'm probably checking out for the night It has been a crazy crazy evening I'm ready to go Watch some fishing videos And eat sushi For the rest of the night Any last questions anything at all. Seriously, guys, thank you so much for coming and hanging out. That was a really fantastic time. You guys are seriously the best. Today was very special. You guys made my day very, very special, and I really do appreciate it. It's really cool. So thank you all so much. And yeah, thank you. Thank you for tuning into the stream all the time. This was a really special night. I will definitely remember this birthday, which I did not think I would because 22 is a useless number for birthdays, so I'll definitely remember this one, so thank you all for that, I really appreciate it, and greetings from Spain, oh my goodness, thank you for tuning in, holy cow, I love the reach we get, that's wonderful, all right, well, good night Spain, good night France, any other countries, there has to be a Canadian in here, right, New Zealand, I know Beck was in here, New Zealand.
