# [4k] Alice Cooper's Nightmare Castle Post-Tournament Gameplay **Source:** IE Pinball **Type:** video **Published:** 2018-08-07 **Duration:** 80m 16s **Beat:** Pinball **URL:** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSFlSgMCDL4 --- ## Analysis IE Pinball streamed post-tournament gameplay on Alice Cooper's Nightmare Castle (Spooky Pinball) with commentary on game mechanics, rules, and community interaction. The stream featured tournament results (Kyle 1st, Victor 2nd, Mark 3rd, Tim 4th), multiple players learning the game's complex modes and shots, discussion of technical issues (tilt sensitivity, ball saves, glitchy multiball behavior), and casual banter about game design and difficulty. ### Key Claims - [HIGH] Alice Cooper's Nightmare Castle has a tilt mechanism that swings excessively far, similar to TNA (Total Nuclear Annihilation) — _Stream commentary: 'This tilt the rumba is all the way down in this game. It's not like it's a tight tilt. It just swings forever. TNA did it too.'_ - [HIGH] The game has a glitch where players can have three balls in play simultaneously during certain modes — _Stream commentary during Kyle's gameplay: 'I honestly have no clue what's going on in this mode but I know he has three balls right now. I think it's a glitch. Last time someone had three balls. I was informed that that was not okay.'_ - [HIGH] Alice Cooper mode is worth $2M, $3M, then $13M points with three progressive guillotine shots — _Rules explanation: 'Alice Cooper is worth $2 million, $3 million, then $13 million. So it's vampire Alice Cooper mode, huh? Yep... You go up the guillotine three times. You chop off his head.'_ - [HIGH] The game uses Spooky Pinball's Total Nuclear Annihilation (TNA) engine and design philosophy — _Stream reference: 'Mixer TNA (Total Nuclear Annihilation), a Spooky Pinball game' and multiple comparisons to TNA mechanics_ - [MEDIUM] Secret Passage is currently the dominant strategy; future room-based modes with obstacles/rewards are planned to balance gameplay — _Conversation: 'So my understanding is there's supposed to be some stuff in some of the other rooms in the mansions, or whatever they're called, at some point. So that will kind of balance out the whole secret passage. Maybe you don't want to take the secret passage because you'll run into this monster, you'll get this award or something like that.'_ - [HIGH] This is the fifth machine built and the second one shipped from the factory — _Stream commentary: 'This machine number... Five, but it's the second one out of the factory.'_ - [HIGH] The game has ball save/routing issues with the right ramp and guillotine drop — _Maintenance discussion: 'A little ball safety would be helpful. Yeah, if it goes through that right out lane instead... There has to be a switch up there, so yeah, when it comes off that guillotine down, make a little ball save if it hits the right out lane before anything else.'_ - [MEDIUM] Lock shot and lower playfield drop pocket lock are among the toughest shots in the game — _Rules discussion: 'What would you say the toughest shot is in this game? I don't know maybe the lock shot the lower play throw drop pocket lock I had trouble hitting that earlier'_ ### Notable Quotes > "This tilt the rumba is all the way down in this game.

Where's Adam? No, he's not here. Oh, man. He was dying to play a game. Don't tell me. Oh! Oh, my God. All right. You looking pretty good. Two players. Four players. Skrill must be out of something. Time to die. Bring it back, Igor. It's ok. It's back on. You got . Mix the tilt. Why do I want to mix the tilt. Actually the plumbob is as far down as it can go so I don't know how we would fix it to be honest. But we need an air plug but we don't have any air plugs. Get to the left screw. Hold that, though. I knew that I was coming here. Oh, you're on it again. Oh my God. Get the dog. Don't count on this guy. You gotta pick an arm back. You're not going to be there for next week. I'll be there. I almost hit the board with you. So once I lock it in, once I lock it in, it's... Center it around the back. So you grab the little... More. More of you should be pushing off right into the back. That's...okay, that's the only thing I have for you. This is the explore of the game and figure out how it ticks. I know they are, but the points are there. The point is, yeah, you didn't need it. Vampire, like it's a fan-hard mode, and the other one. They're just so valuable. So what does everyone think of the game in the chat? Anybody still there? How much of a hard time I had getting that. I feel like I should be able to hit it, but I didn't. Emoto, the tournament is over. First place was me, Carl. Second place was Victor. Third place, Mark. And fourth place, Tim. Oh, Wolfman, we're not taking the glass. cheating yeah we had the same issue with the the annihilation and this I have a good near plugin it at home I'll stop it from talking constantly Hello, hooray! Let the games begin. Congratulations, you've found your way in. Back to the crypt. You've found my library. Searching for the battle pile. So my understanding is there's supposed to be some stuff in some of the other rooms in the mansions, or whatever they're called, at some point. So that will kind of balance out the whole secret passage. Maybe you don't want to take the secret passage because you'll run into this monster, you'll get this award or something like that. I don't know if Phasma is still here, if he can explain his plans or not. Oh, nice save there by Raymond. Oh, you're still here. We were just wondering what the... Oh, it did it. It saved it. Yeah, we were just wondering what the other rooms were going to be for. Because I thought I heard that you're going to be adding items into some of the rooms that you visit. Which will stop us just from going for Secret Bastards all the time. Although Raymond shot the Orbitz instead of the Secret Passage. Alright, you beat it. Thank you. He dribbled his island, okay. Alright, there he did it. Nice shot, Raymond. Face the wall, count to ten, we pull you down, reload again All are gone Disco Disco, disco, what? Get down on your knees and keep your traps shut Disco, disco, let's go back Where disco's the help That's where we're at, we're at Disco Oh, almost hit that target. Yeah, trap the ball on the right flipper until the timer runs out and then shoot the hurry-up move. Especially the later hurry-ups, and they're worth more. That does make sense. How did Raymond not play? Unfortunately, the game he played was his very first game ever on this. So it takes a while to get used to it. He didn't know what he was doing then. He'd been watching, trying to understand it, but it didn't click. Hey Moto! Yeah, I didn't play, so I didn't know what I was doing. Looks like Carl got his skill shot. He's going to use his ball save. Moves the mode over to insects. Looks like he's trying to lock this mode in. Thank you for following, Carone. Great seeing you. Incoming raid by Buffalo Pinball. Thank you so much, Buffalo Pinball. Well, Paul D'Python Anghelo is currently playing and I am currently commentating This crazy kiddy man booth I've seen them They play pinball They do, in Buffalo Oh yeah Or they like buffalo wigs, I'm not sure which So, Cole is going to actually try to get this multiball up here Is it that they have buffalo wings for flippers on their pinball? If this raid is offensive, by the way, the chat settings. No, this raid's great. Thank you, Buffalo Pinball. Thank you, everyone, for coming by. Yes, this is Boof. And Carl just drained. Raid? You think that's what it is? How dare you? Buffalo Pinball just raided. What's that? Buffalo Pinball just raided. Nice. How you doing, Buffalo? It was Mixer Tuna's night with the Hedgehogs. So we got Ryan Lewis on ball two. I was trying for a recognized lobster, but we haven't seen much of it. Yeah, you were going for insects at first, right? Yeah, I meant that at the start. I haven't played that either. And then you went for the multiball, which I also failed. Yeah, I just thought I'd do the multiball, just to show it. So Ryan's changed his strategy. He's probably held up okay, though. He's got the ball saved. Stream is looking great. Had a fun release party. He locked Vampire. Nice catch. So what does Shoot the Secret Passage do? It will start the mode and it will go through the monster It's easier in the backhand It is backhandable, yeah Oh, rattle Second attempt off the post He knows it. He did it. That's a backhand. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I got it. Joe Shorts and the girl, G33K, thank you so much for the follow on everyone else we've missed. You are so much better at that than I am. Let the experiment begin. I have been streaming for quite a bit, actually. Great one, Terry. We've had a whole bunch of cooking. Yeah, Mixer Tuna was streaming tonight. If you guys haven't checked out Buffalo Pinball, please do. On Saturday night, Mixer Tuna goes through a machine. Does a pretty damn good job of showing off the rules in the machine. So I got it to work with a flip, which was entertaining. Is this like a, what is that, 007? What game is that? That was GoldenEye. GoldenEye? Yeah, it's supposed to do exactly what GoldenEye does. And unfortunately it hasn't worked. Igor. You know I love you MixerTuna. We're finding Igor. And my mind's a little foggy but this is Joe up, right? You're about as foggy as I am. About what? Sorry, you're talking to me. This is Joe, right? This is Joe, yeah. Right here. And I'm going to be player three. I'm going to tell everybody that I've never played the game before. Ever before? Ever ever? No you can't. EQ. I was way over here. Wow, that was incredible. I was way over here. You know, it would be weird if that hadn't happened all night long. Holy moly. Well, that was a fun thought. Yeah. How do I take out Alice Cooper? You play the Alice Cooper mode. You go up the guillotine three times. You chop off his head. And I want to take out Alice Cooper right now because, yeah. Because it's worth some money, huh? Or points. I guess you call them. Alice Cooper is worth $2 million, $3 million, then $13 million. So it's vampire Alice Cooper mode, huh? Yep. Okay, so I'm looking at all the costumes. Where is Alice Cooper's costume? It's the one right there. In the middle? No. The middle right. Where's the middle? Middle right. Oh, okay. I got you. Because I was on Vampire. I think I locked it in and I didn't pull it. And Carl just lost the ball at the right out lane after it was supposed to swirl into the end lane. Ouch. Neil, thank you so much for the host. and put him alive. Thank you so much for the host as well. Oh, Emoto, come on. I did get tilted by the Joe. I don't know. The machine, you know, these spookies, I've never quite understood the tilt box. So I've had issues with them in the past. I'm not going to blame Joe fully, but Joe was the last one to touch the machine. I tilt a lot. So, hey, Gio, thank you so much for the follow. Where do you get the D20 t-shirt from? I'll let Carl tell you where, because he's the one which made the 20 for critical hit. What's he got to shoot for in Vampire? You want to hit at the middle and then the target up there. There's a touch target. There's a Vampire touch target. No, up. One second. Get down on your knees And keep your trap shut Oh, this goes, this goes, this goes down This goes to hell That's where we're at, where we're at Sorry, guys. What do I need to do? You're going to be in a mode, whatever mode you have ready. What does Joe need to do? Joe needs to do the skill shot. The skill shot's roaming. When you push the button, it will lock in those green arrows. And then you want to hit it. I'm on three now. Oh, you're on vault three? Yeah. I don't know. You're going to play out whatever mode you're in. I knew I was in Vampire, but I didn't know how to play it. By the way, I've never played Vampire before. Yep. Right there with us. Why is he saying that? Because he beat me? Is he trying to rub it in my face? No. Did I do okay, by the way? I don't know what my score is. I think I like the game actually. Yeah, there's a good amount, Gio. If you look up Critical Hit Pinball, you'll probably find it. It might be under iepinball.com. All faces? Okay. I know I am not one of those. So, how dare you. I think Carl is putting stuff away because I don't see him. Otherwise I'd get that answer for you too. But if you hold on, we're going to look. Meanwhile, Joe is trying to get a vampire started. Oh, he's a vampire. Oh, no. Wait, why didn't he start? He must have started a monster before. Oh, he just started it. Yep. So now he's going to want to get up top and then drive the stake into the vampire. I have the wine Sony Handycam similar to that yeah and then I've got your two 920s There's a third party app you can get for this. That's what I need to do, yeah. Here's Joe tilting my ball again. Yeah, no. Yeah, don't get it. Don't put it on here again. Hey, Carl. Yeah. Where can you buy that D20 T-shirt? This? Yeah. I don't have any more. We're out. You can buy the one off Carl's frame for $87. Right? $87 for this one? It's a medium. It's a large. It's a large. It's a large. Well, you know, it looks like it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You could definitely sport a medium. So I didn't know what I was supposed to do even though you told me what I was supposed to do. I didn't know what you were supposed to do. I still didn't know what I was supposed to do. The one target up top. Yeah. I don't even know how to get up top. Is it this target? The ramp? The time ramp. Oh! I thought... You need to get up top, yeah. I need to get a ramp. Yeah. That's why I need to get up top. Like that. Uh, that's why I made it. That word would have helped me. So, uh, give me a slide on how much the winning pinball... He got the ball pit ball. Yeah nice The D20 shirt off the back of the number one pinball player tonight It now the bid is up to Or bid, I'm not sure which one. What's the conversion? I'll make some more at some point. You made those? Yeah, I made them. Oh, okay. I have them made. Because they go in with the decks. With the critical hit decks. I have a deck. I didn't get a shirt. You bought a deck? Yeah. Yeah, I had a bandage. I mean, they did. The shirts didn't come with them. I made them at the same time. Oh, I see what you're saying. I thought you were saying the exact same thing. And I was like, what a deal. I thought we were supposed to wear T&A shirts. Uh, I don't know. Go and call me. Wow. They were saying T&A so that you could get the hat. But I didn't want the hat, but I wore my T&A shirt. I needed no additional articles of clothing in this super hot venue. Yeah, it is a little warm today. It might have been like, hey, you get an on-tilt beanie and a ski jacket. No, thank you. So, you're the guy that knows the game. Why don't you teach this to me? Because I've been rambling about all kinds of nonsense. I don't completely know it. Well, now you got the ball. So I, okay, so hitting the center, you light your secret passage, right? What is this map nonsense? Oh, yeah, that's how you get to the monster. Okay, so he's on, he needs two right shots. Well, the thing is, he was in a single ball, multiple ball. Which wouldn't let you, okay. No one is helping me learn pinball. It's just me or should it have been flippers cross diving through a D20? Flippers would be cool but I like the multiple different options with it. The dice. Yeah. Yeah. Hey we're playing Gloomhaven now. You know that game? Best board game in the universe? Nope haven't played it. I've been out of board games a while. No one wanted me to get back to the Magic the other day. No thank you. You know what? I'm not embarrassed with my score. What is your score by the way? 8? 8.3. That's a good score. Where's mine? 1? Yeah, I'm embarrassed with my score. Thanks a lot. I had two balls, so I'll take it and I'm going to decide on whether or not... See, I didn't get a third ball, so if Carl wins, I could at least say, hey, I didn't get a third ball. He's finding the monster right now, though. So Wolfman, 3D beer stench? I don't think Carl comes with that. It just comes with normal, nerd sour smell. If you want the 3D beer stench, I could borrow it for 30-ish minutes. Carl picked up 5 million on the creature mode. The people don't understand how much this smells like Korean barbecue right now. They can't realize it. Is it weird that Nerd Sweat eventually melts into just Korean barbecue? Well, the Korean barbecue overpowers the sweat. So Carl's trying to get through the Ethel mode. Or start it. Got two more shots to do the secret passage. Two more shots to get to the mode. It's valuable? Yeah. He's got the secret passage lit. I'll throw in my socks. Gets the shot in, so he is now at cold Ethel. And he saves the ball through the in lane shot. And it looks like he has two balls now. I'm not sure why, but hey. Call Karl DeAngelo, he needs all the help he can get. I didn't understand this one. Are you supposed to... Now you can... Okay, when he hits jackpot you can see it now. Because it's glory the ball. I don't think so. I honestly have no clue what's going on in this mode but I know he has three balls right now. I think it's a glitch. Last time someone had three balls. I was informed that that was not okay. And they should let him play. Look at his little map. He's almost all the way there. He is there. He's in the monster. It's a glitch. This is a glitch Carl. Play it. Play it. Yep. I agree. Just play the ball. Jackpot has increased. Glissage. Glitch height. Are we still trying to climb up before all this going? No warnings. That was an up nudge. I thought that was the demon of the nudge. But apparently not. If anyone knows how to move this machine out of us four he does. Did he set it up? He didn't set up the machine so much. He plays pinball a lot. He's got a magnet in his pocket. That would explain some stuff, but I imagine he'd probably be caught by now. He didn't even care wanting it. I'm saying, he got a literally How many times have you seen it? Two warning games. I like this mode. This mode's great. You get it up to the top and you let it fall down. Here we go. 4 million, right? Oh, it's ain't awarded that time. Anyway, guys, talk to us. And after I got my warning... I'm afraid I got one more. You have to hit the drop target now. Because that says it where? Which drop target? The one on the upper play field? I imagine the one on the below which you just hit. That one right? No, there's one right here underneath. How many are there? There's one here for the Denise lock and there's one up top. So just two? I don't know if there's another one. That looks like it. That's the one I was talking about. I don't know if there's another one. That looks like it would be a drop target, but I don't know what it is. Apparently we're missing a light. Like a little GI in the back? I mean, the light's flashing. It is flashing there. It looks like it needs a little more light up in the, like just GI in the, of the blade over there. So that... Maybe there's nothing to see, I don't know. So we got one million there. So how's Cooper standing on with the zombie girl? Yeah, that's totally acceptable. Yeah, well, you know, it's definitely more mild than the Pop Your Top and all the other things on the Rob Zombie. So yeah, Carl wasn't even supposed to be a multi-blogger. We haven't found any Pop Your Top yet. Yeah. Ball Scissors. Oh, two million for a Ball Scissors. Wow. That's always nice. This is a lucrative ball search. Game is glitched. I agree. I don't know what you're talking about. I competed in a fair and just tournament. There's no glitches. No abnormalities. How dare you. How'd you do by the way? What'd you end up with? 5, 6? I ended up with not knowing how to play this game. Yeah, me either. I don't know. I figured you were going to try it. Yeah, the game went better than I expected. What happened? Did he slap you? I don't know. Hey, thank you Shane for the free Dizzler game. I heard this joke over there. Do you want to play? Sure. Go ahead. We've got the captain. Holy moly, eight credits. Two players. You want me to go first? I'll go first. You've got friends. Three players. You've got more friends than I do. Ah, okay. Go ahead and start me. Okay. Yeah, the comic book style is really a neat way to go about it. The little things will drive you wild. Welcome to my library. Looks like Shane, the owner and operator of this establishment's plane. Locked in insects for the mode. Control on the right flipper, shoots it up the middle, trying to get his secret passage revealed. So is it five shots up there to get the secret passage? Three, thank you. Yep, three shots. Would you consider that the best way to go? I mean you can make the orbits consistent and get points but I think the secret patch is easier. But you're going to miss out on the items that are coming later on. Yeah that center shot doesn't seem to be all that dangerous. No, it's not as dangerous as I thought it would be. As a bricked orbit. I just want to have a really big ball once so I can risk it all on that skill card. Well you're going to have to tell one of these guys that can't play that. Thanks for being here. I can play the next game. He locked in and he walked away from the game now. Well, at least I understood enough that I knew that I was in the mode I wanted. I locked it in. We got C and K with the follow. Thank you C and K. We got Joe playing again. Joe's got the skill shots. He's changing the mode up. He's currently on insects. The little grannies were driving wild. It pitched the orbit to lock it in. It did not get the credit for it though. So it did not lock it in. That Frankenstein bug was fun. I finally got into it. Oh there goes Joe tilting the machine and Pauly tilting the next person's ball. Chill. What's up with it? Like what I'm saying is like... How do you get it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Alright so block one ball, pull up your hand. This is a block right now. In fact when you hit that drop target down and then hit... You need to qualify a loss. No. So if you're in a mode or monster, you can't have it. So the first one is just left ramp. Yep. The next one is right ramp. We're going over how to get the multiball, which you hit the left ramp to lock it, and then you hit the upper playfield ramp. So you hit the left ramp and then hit the drop target, and then you drop the left ramp. And then you're in hope and hope? Yep. What's the next one? Creature. Oh, he nudged it out. Lucrative? Billion, a billion and a half. We're ramped. So ramped. You're ramped. Shame. But what I noticed. Yeah. So I locked a ball. What do I do to lock another one to start getting multiple? Is that what you just told me? Yeah, you just told me. You want to hit the drop target on the upper play field and then hit up the ramp on the left. So the only way to get up there is either ramps or super passage, right? Ramp. The only way to get up there. Okay, good. I didn't hear my whole other game because I never aimed that. Urgent Fury 7, thank you so much for the follow. We greatly appreciate you. So glad you guys could join us. We're just kind of relaxing after the tournament. Trying to actually enjoy this game. We're on the menu Shane gets double voltage Did he say the tow was fine? Yeah You know what, if the operator says it's fine, it's fine All right, cool. Thank you, Boston. That'll be great. Glad we could provide you with some information to get the game working better. What about the ball coming off the right ramp? Well... Yeah, a little ball safety would be helpful. Yeah, if it goes through that right out lane instead. Yeah. I don't know if there's a... There has to be a switch up there, so yeah, when it comes off that guillotine down, make a little ball save if it hits the right out lane before anything else. That would work out great. I feel when you have the hand locked in, when you're somewhere else on the map, it's not the lock, but you're at the second to third. You're at the second to third, but you're locked. But the mode is not going to change. The mode's not going to change. How do you know you have a mode locked in? You're locked into this room already. Yeah, I know. I was thinking about that. I used to have visual. I agree with you on that, however... I mean, I know that, but... Well, yeah, yeah, it should be, but... But say someone... It's not with shit to shame, so... Yeah. It's a cool wire form, it's just... ...a little bit of... You got it Ryan. Never mind. And he's trying to tilt the machine. We saw it. It's lit for at least the multiball. ball there's some roving shots as well it's a really tough shot though too what would you say the toughest shot is in this game I don't know maybe the lock shot the lower play throw drop pocket lock I had trouble hitting that earlier They're all equally tough. They are pretty tough. They're not the bring up target when it's lit. Yeah. The one you get tapped and it doesn't do it. Yeah. Or more action up top. Okay. And Joe lost his ball. I didn't accomplish anything. You know, I do enjoy how the modes seem to be rewarding. I haven't played through all of them yet, though. No. Jockton's risking 250,000 points. Ah yes, doors are opening for you now. That's the skill shop. You too, Egon. I'm so worried. Don't panic. You know this guy. Vampire seems to be in the mode. I don't know what he was doing for a living. The ballroom. Dance till you fly. I do like a lot of the stuff they've done with the lighting. Definitely when the, like with Igor, he's moving from space to space, the light actually goes the direction he's going. Alright, take your arcade tattoo You don't know a thing, put your hands in the air. Stick them up like you don't care. Face the wall, count to ten. We'll pull you down, reload again. I kind of wish I could hear this song. Well, he rose the vampire and then lost it. I could use the headphones. I'm good, though. All right ball three Shane going to get his monster Do we know what it is Oh, thank you so much for the compliments. We got insects going. Guys, hurry up shots. We're up on the top play field, which I don't think is used up here, but let's see. He makes it at the Frankenstein, and it flew straight down the middle. I don't like that I can't see the score. Can you tell them that? I need to know where I'm at. Can I double-check? No status for right now. Ryan is requesting that there's some sort of status report up on this scene. It'd be nice to know what I'm scoring for. No info yet. That is changing. Here we go. So what you're saying is it's not going to be like the Aliens pinball. thank you What about Alien? There's no status scene at the beginning Oh, Alien? Yeah Drives me up the wall And I know there's no hope of that ever changing so Well, it already got its blast It's a big nice boat Boats, yeah it is missing those I just needed a ramp. You needed to get up top and then you hit the goatee. Yeah, yeah. A ramp to get on the ramp. And then you get a cradle and backhand. Yeah, and you do it three times and you chop off pallets. I felt like I would have had it had I gotten up there. and you do it three times and you chop off pallets I feel like I would have had it had I gotten up there well that would be after battle for sure apparently aliens might get fixed like that that would be nice Joe's got to work on it though I will say he's heard that I think if you only use one game, is there any chance anyone will just buy that and build it? That's a good ruling, thank you Fozzie. If you hit that spinner you're going to have the value of the insects. That's big. I knew something had done it earlier, I just wasn't sure what. This is machine number... Five, but it's the second one out of the factory. There you go, five. I did something. You did. You got all those insects. Let's go. And here's Jockton going for his skill shot. 5.5 million off the skill shot. So that's going to have him win. And that's how you risk to win the game, guys. scary and scary but they were walking got Jock done trying to get this mode going it looks like Alright, he's locked in the mode. He's going to be insects again. And now the question is which way does he go? He's going to go up the top. Up the center. And he's going to drain. But, Jutton ends up winning that game. the center. And he's gonna drain. But, Jockton ends up winning that game. So, me and Carl are gonna play at the very least. Not sure who else. So, like, Hall just tilted. Player one's drafted. Player one is drafted. Ah cool, number 3 and 59. Hopefully you get it sooner than later. It's going to be a little later I'm afraid. Alice is sensitive. This Alice is very sensitive. We set our games up really tight. Although I think this was down pretty good from what I was told. So Carl is locked in his mode, the cold ethol, and he drained. I'm going to end up playing. This tilt the rumba is all the way down in this game. It's not like it's a tight tilt. It just swings forever. TNA did it too. Like, like, I don't know what it says. Tilting is trying, right? Is that what the shirt says? It's all fun and games until your eye gets poked out. You're going after it. Yeah! What's up? This is the last game and now I'm going to have to shut it all down. I'm packing up. Two in the morning. Yeah, sure. How many more games? They will answer zero. Zero more games. This is a desktop machine, Alonimus. It's got the... It's a beast. That's all I'll say. It's an absolute beast. We've got eight capture... No, no, no. We've got ten HMI I don't know what's on it. Is that your internet thing? Yep, that's the internet. What's the up and down? Um, 30 down, 15 up, somewhere around there. 15 up? Yeah, it's good. What do you pay for so much? Uh, I don't, my work does. Oh, hell yeah, nice. It's unlimited, so. I mean, I, I, I, I, I'm not gonna call it into your words. Oh, no, no, no, they tell me I can use it, so it's fine. Yeah, I'm out, I'm, uh, I'm out. I'm out. I'm out. I'm out. I'm out. I'm out. I'm out. I'm out. I'm out. I'm out. I'm recording this in, I think it's going out in 720p, it's being recorded in 4K, so I can upload it to YouTube later. The files are massive. I'm so confused, why is player 1 6 0? Because player 1 tilted through. Player 1 tilted before I even launched it. Wow! He's like... He got no points! Well, he was player 4 in the previous game, and then I came up and started the game and it tilted. So we made him player 1. Oh, that's funny. Yeah, he deserved it. Yeah. Yeah, I already mentioned it. Yeah. Hey, he didn't tilt. Not yet. I tilt your ball. Here we go Alright Let's see what Carl does Carl gets the skill shot And he drinks I'm on the right lane You guys trying to move up on your own Come on man, let's act it out There's a creeper on me, huh? There's a creeper on me, huh? There's a creeper on me, huh? There's a creeper on me, right? Are you tired? Oh yeah, I'm tired You're a witness to the MASS distraction Yeah You're a witness to the MASS distraction You're a witness to the MASS distraction I can't get it off the range, but I'm a dog All I can do is drive, and the things I've caught I can't get it off the range, but I'm a dog I can't get it off the range, but I'm a dog I mean, we put the... That's going to be all of it. The new what? The new what? Everybody needs to do it. I'm a man of heaven I live in the same little heaven I'm trying to make this a time I'm living a dead way to heaven Cause heaven's where you are I think that was one That was frustrating You will love this place. For death, you're a weapon of mass destruction. The Hulk games Did the Hulk Tilt games? Did the Hulk Tilt games I don't remember playing it that much The Avengers Right I don't remember what it was Are you doing a MonsterMan only mode? It takes guts to go after you Ball save! Ball save! What are you doing? He even tried to range tilt! Now you can range tilt up And we got a subscription Carl Oh awesome Buffalo, thank you so much To be fair, Jock is playing on Jambalas' skin. Oh, he's playing on Vampire. Okay. Let's see if we can actually do it. Yes, the Modica play. Alright, no gloves. Hey, why no gloves? Is this not serious enough? Jock, have you got the gloves on, bro? Hey, why no gloves? Is this not serious enough? Doctor, you got to take those off, bro. I think it's too tight. Johnny's currently in, uh, in Italy? Yeah, he blaked himself out from, uh, from Denver by booking a trip to Italy. Made fun of him at every moment I could. I can hear the song in the headphones if you like. I can hear it enough on this side now. They're like Bob's head, chop up now with the right flipper and wait for the hurry up. I don't know the orbit stream is more like 1.25. Yeah, I'm waiting for the hurry up. Especially now that it's only 3 seconds. Now he's heading up the knob. Alright, so we're going for ball 2. Yeah, I'm so glad to see you. Hey, great to hear that arcade tattoo. Great to hear it. Let the experiments begin. So, Carl's got cold ass balls, so he has to, uh... Whoops, I'm sorry. Does Simmons, uh, stop some people getting jailed, especially for a night news offer? That's a good question. I don't know exactly what needs to be done. I know he has to hit the drop, but it's flashy. I mean, if he gets a big point, you know, a big point to have fun with. If he hits the drop, he, uh, scores the jackpot. It's a bottom drop. Hey, thank you on the snap for the follow. We got one million shots for cold after all. And that apparently brings the ball into play. Not sure if that was supposed to come into play, but I've stopped trying to figure that out. I think the one is supposed to be there, but the second one is not. So he's got the hurry up and it hits the hurry up for 5 million, gets 60, total unfolded. So Carlos up to 9.8 million, trying to catch Jackson's 11.1 on two balls. Guarding the swings, nice catch. Walks in his mode for Vampire, which we definitely like, and gets his Ball Save. Which may not work. Thankfully there is a Ball Save which it fails for. Gets into Vampire. He can hit that drop target in the upper playfield, he's gonna get 10 million. And light an awesome vote. Scraps up. Oh, so close. There we go, he gets 10 million. Picks it a few more times for 1.5 million and a half. And he's got 24 seconds left to keep hitting the jackpots. I believe they go up by a quarter of a million each time he hits one. That one didn't sign your interest, did it? Earl's just gonna time things out. Why is that? Uh, there's a hurry up at the end of the mode with 5 million on this card. But not worth the 1 or 2 shot he'd get. 10 million, not bad. Ah, buddy, bring it. Here I am. And this is how you do not hit 30 a post. 1 million. So yeah it ends up with 1 million I think 13 million in Vampire puts him in first place Flashing his nether mode which is going to be the Alice Cooper mode This was one of his, the one you not sure he liked. And he's going to go for the secret passage. One more hit, he'll like the secret passage. And he makes the secret passage, oh no, that's too far. No, he gets up on the upper plate field and he wants his backhand and it's too early. Back up, tries to get it over. There we go. See if he can make the backhand. Nice control on that upper plate field. That upper plate field is really hard to navigate. And that uh, ball cylinder decides to go into the launch Shooter plane Alright We got a uh, spy passer here Wanting to take a picture of that Alright, so Carl's up to 42 million And it's got a ball saver Yep, big boom. Now, Alice is still lit to shoot for the guillotine again, but he's waiting for the hurry up. The hurry up is worth 15 million, and he doesn't hit it again. He does hit it for a couple million, puts his mode to about 10 million now. Now he is up to 50 million And he is already locked in his next move which is the wolf guide Sky wolf, Wolf wolf, Werewolf Just a reminder, RKTASI, if you come to the Korean BBQ, the pinball machines are in the back at a bar. If you have a problem, just ask the hostess. I'm sure they'll let you know where the machines are. The hostess, I'm sure they'll let you know where the machines are. You just walk through like you're on the place on the left hand side. Yeah, if you come back there and the machines are off, you can ask them to turn them on. Or you just turn them on yourself. He's got a 1 million walk hit with that combo and he gets a ball save from that it looks like. I'm not sure where exactly that was but his time is now running down. I guess he could either work on this mode a little more or wait for the hurry up again. Yeah, Werewolf is a really tough mode. You gotta hit the same shot several times in a row. If you alternate your shots, it seems to reset, as far as I can tell. There goes Carl, getting the control of the ball time. He's going for his hurry up. 20 million. That's because he got the hurry up. So apparently, we found a pattern here. First mode is 5 million, second mode is 10 million, third mode is 15, fourth mode is 20. Let's likely note the next mode is 25 or stays at 20. It's a pretty good chance. Carl gets you a secret passage for zombie mode. Nailed it! We're hitting the, uh, running chart. Looks like he's doing really well. Yep, he's the GC so far today. The, uh, million dollar bait here, it's not called the million dollar bait, uh, billion dollar, whatever it is, it's not implemented. The wizard, right? I have no clue, I haven't seen the boss Oh On the, on the, on the box Well Bosma Games is the programmer I think Yeah, is the, is the Wizard mode in or still being worked on? Is this, is this running old code? No, he updated it right when he opened up the box last night. He installed a new version right away. No wizard yet, but the modes will be set for you. Okay. Well, at least you don't get stuck. That's good. But it is a question mark. It's a... How would you call it? Billion dollar babies It's almost like that real sad film Oh, Kid Tattoo, I've heard of your place I believe You got some pinball machines at your tattoo shop, right? It's where the fire was taking It's where we saw the scene of It's where we first met I can't believe it's now It was a morning call It was a burning hell It's where the fire was taking It's where we saw the scene of It's where we first met I can't believe it's now If not, there's another place in California that has some machines that attach to your car. I think it's in Bakersfield. Yeah. I want to say the one I'm thinking of is up north, but I could be wrong. Um, this is the most updated code I believe on this map. They literally gave us the update yesterday. Did that just drain on him without giving him the guys? Yeah. Arcade Tattoo, I was actually out in Selma the other day and I was playing at Pizza Planet. They have 16 pinball machines there. Definitely the biggest location in the Central Valley of California. Looks like we got a new ball for Carl Got a headshot on the bomb He's going to time this mode out, go for his hurry up which will be 20 or 25. What's your guess? 25. You think it keeps going up? I bet on 25. I'm all in. Yup. I figured there might be a cap, but I can see it keep going. Yep, 25 million and he nails it. Alright, and he locks in his next boat, Insects. more legs than the Rockettes Insects needs 10 shots to complete that seems like a pretty rough mode yeah, it's pretty tough this is going to be a time it out either yeah Carl saying bye to his game and Carl saying bye to my game we'll see Yeah, there's a missing ball, Pazma. He's had to tilt it on purpose to try to continue the game, but it seems like the ball trough switch is not registering sometimes. Also during play earlier, we got it stuck in the subway. There was a ball stuck in the subway. Actually during competition we were able to shimmy it out and was able to continue playing. On the snap you can light ball save by lighting S-A-V-E in the outlanes. It's like TNA like that right? Yeah TNA is like that as well as Rob Zombie and Most Haunted. But the difference between Rob Zombie and TNA in this is that you light a flashing shot, right? Well, it lights both out at the same time, but it times out after a while. It doesn't stay there, from what I could tell. Because Rob Zombie, you just spell it, and it's a ball. It turns on right away. TNA, you light it, and then it's one of the shots, and you can move that around and try to catch it. Which I thought was the same as this. Now this one, it lights both outlanes at the same time for a period of time. And then if you don't use it within that period of time, it turns off. Any idea how long that is? Yes, Frosma, there are four balls. I do not know how long it is. It seemed like pretty long, like 20 seconds or so. Yeah, I think every time you start a monster mode, It turns on a ball save at the beginning of the mode. Yeah, it's still doing a ball search as they're lifting up the play field. They're trying to figure out what's going on over there. Maybe just pop a ball out and drop it in the trot again. Grab a ball. Grab a ball. Is there only three balls? There's supposed to be four. We can't find the fourth ball. Want the camera? The POSMA, no, they can't see it in the subway. They don't see it in there. They're kind of perplexed on where it is, actually. They're looking around. Mr. Stamline, yeah, that's what Carl was doing just there. He was just chopping up, timing out the modes that do time out. Some of the modes didn't seem to time out for him, though, but some did. He took advantage of those to get the easy hurry-up score. Hey, yeah. So, to Zoom. You do have to actually finish the mode in some fashion. You usually have to qualify the mode once you're in it. Shane has the dental mirror out, and he's inspecting underneath where they can't quite get a look at without ripping out all the cameras. Oh, they got them all. It's on the magnet. All right. It was underneath the Frankenstein mech. We actually had a ball in the cabinet earlier, we didn't know how it happened, but I think it's by a Frankenstein monster somehow. But yeah, it was sitting underneath it. Great D. Kittyman Vuk is stepping up to the machine for his third ball. Yeah. You will love this place to death. He just lit his outlays for a ball save. And he just got the skill shot, I believe. The display doesn't always tell you if you've gotten your skill shot, but if you look at your score you can tell. Get this monster mode started. Vampire it is. Just gotta get it to the upper playfield. Oh. What a good tour nightmare. Shane's finally going to look at that tilt, Bob. . . . . . . . They brought the turn-up, so it seems like you bought yours. Let the experiments begin. Shane's got a ball safe so he'll keep playing, trying to get some zombies here. On the third mode you always get a mode start if you haven't started a mode on an earlier ball. I'm starting the mode on an earlier bomb I kind of do want to hang with the machine, but it's kind of fun too, so... There's that I'm trying to complete song here. I'm going to hit that one shot. I can't do, uh, qualify for, uh, hurry up. Although, I love that it's the wrong music. That's the wrong song. Still need to hit one That was so close It's such a living hell It was a horny god to try to wear out the bell It's where the flies were taken It's where we shot the sand It's where we first were naked They come back around to the left or they just take on the right? So I can come back to the left Yeah He is on the wrap right now He will wait until he gets to the secret passage Pretty good He is really nailing that shot Too bad it is the wrong one He's really nailing that shot, too bad it's the wrong one He does get a walk at least Come down to the deep Come down to the deep Come down to the deep Come down to the deep Come down to the deep Would be nice if there was a count of how many for 100 people Yeah, something has to be in his plate I hit Remi's shot for the beatdown right now. Let the insects devour their flesh. Alright, we're cutting it off. I'm backing off. Thank you guys for coming by and watching. Alright, thanks everyone for watching. We're pulling off lines. I'm going to put it right here. Something to do. Yeah? I'm going to move my game tonight. All right. Catch you all, guys. Oh, my gosh. I'm so tired. Later. _(Acquisition: youtube_groq_whisper, Enrichment: v3)_ --- *Exported from Journalist Tool on 2026-04-13 | Item ID: b975277c-ba74-4c95-9ae9-42cec9e29f9d*
