## Analysis

Jamie Burchell streams a Friday night pinball tournament at Eureka Heights with 28-30 players. The tournament features Rick and Morty, Pulp Fiction, and other games in a standard bracket format, culminating in finals on Pulp Fiction. Jamie discusses game strategy, rule design philosophy with designer Scott Danesi, and technical streaming challenges with the YOLO box overlay system.

### Key Claims

- [HIGH] Rick and Morty is primarily a mega seeds game in tournament play — scoring depends heavily on collecting mega seeds rather than traditional mode stacking — _Jamie Burchell repeatedly emphasizes mega seeds as the core scoring mechanic, saying 'This game's about mega seeds in a tournament, okay?' and 'You really need these mega seeds'_
- [HIGH] Scott Danesi intentionally designed Rick and Morty's left ramp as chaos/penalty area to divide the playfield and keep players on the right side — _Jamie cites a direct interview with designer Scott Danesi: 'It is meant to keep you away from the left side of this playfield. So take that and divide the playfield in two from the scoop.'_
- [MEDIUM] Pulp Fiction has precision flippers that some players (like Wesley) strongly dislike — _Jamie discusses precision flippers on Pulp Fiction and mentions 'Wesley doesn't like them' in response to player feedback_
- [HIGH] No player in the tournament finals successfully started a mode on Pulp Fiction until very late in play — _Jamie repeatedly states 'Has anyone started a mode? No, there's not been a single mode. Ridiculous.' and comments on multiple rounds with no mode starts_
- [HIGH] The YOLO box streaming overlay system is functional but more cumbersome than OBS for managing live score displays — _Jamie states: 'I gotten so used to OBS, right? um that it just sometimes isn't as as easy to use' and mentions working with 'Retro Ralph' to improve the system_

Hello everybody. Welcome to Eureka Heights. I am Jamie Burchil. Welcome to the JBS show and welcome to Eureka Heights Friday night pinball tournament. Small crowd tonight. only had about 28 30 players and I had a chance, right? This is my chance and I choked on the last round on King Kong. Chokeage, chokeage. That's okay. Shake it off. Uh so we're going to have no question a tiebreaker tonight. And that tiebreaker is going to be on uh what's it going to be on? Pulp Fiction. And we'll turn the lights on to that in a few minutes. But, uh, let's, uh, show you some, uh, nice little art. Welcome to Eureka Heights. Again, I'm Jamie Burchil and we're streaming some pinball. It's going to be fun night. Uh, we should be out of here in about an hour and a half. Quick, quick pinball. Good players. We got the mega rig totally working. It's a little dark in here right now, but don't worry about it. And, uh, here we go. Here we go. So, I like streaming on Friday night. I really don't care if there's 10 people, five people, 500 people. I just I love streaming on Friday nights. And uh you should see the YOLO box in its action. It is It really is amazing. So, we've got the Mega Rig. Let's see where we're at. Uh, I need to add uh something here. So, I need to add the scores so that you guys can see them. And we're going to do that while I'm streaming. It's not the most entertaining thing in the world. And I'm sorry about that. But it's okay. It's okay. Actually, I should go take a picture of that for John. From John. Well, he hasn't set it up yet, so don't worry about it. But I can give you the standings right here. And uh so that you see where everybody stands. That would be nice. That would be a good thing. Uh let's figure out how to do this. Let's see. You do web URLs. The yellow box is weird because it it is awesome and at the same time it's a little cumbersome. I gotten so used to OBS, right? um that it just sometimes isn't as as easy to use. Uh especially some of these I've sent it in the yolo box. I'm that guy that does that and uh right there. Yeah, I'll go Rick and Morty. Rick and Morty. All right. So, it's Rick and Morty for the the uh tiebreakers. And uh I'm going to show you the tiebreaking score if you give me one second. I can't spell tournaments. All right. Now I got to copy and paste. Done. And there it is for you. Isn't that amazing, ladies and gentlemen? What the things I could do. All right, Johnny Spates. Where is our tiebreaker here? You can see a tiebreaker. There is no tiebreaker. Look at that. Nicole Burgers didn't make it. That's a bummer. All right. So, we're on Rick and Morty and uh we're going to show you Rick and Morty in a second once I get this. But that was kind of neat to show you that. Getting better with it. Uh anyway, welcome to the JBS show. Welcome to Eureka Heights. And uh let me get that uh new number for you. So, hold on. I'll be right back. I don't know where that be right back is. So, just give me one here. I'll be right back. All right, guys. I have to do something really quick. We are going to Rick and Morty. And while we're on Rick and Morty, I have to do a web overlay. So, let's go to Rick and Morty. We're going to turn the lights on in here. Hold on. Cuz it's a little dark. [Music] Okay. Hey, is that Henry? How are you? Okay, here we go. Left side. Rick and Morty, ladies and gentlemen. Uh, let's get this Eureka Heights thing off of me. And we're on Rick and Morty. I'm going to get you a web overlay here and uh type this in here so we can see the players. You know, sometimes running my own show it's a little difficult, but you don't hear me complaining. I'm just gonna You have to know everyone's names, right? I mean, what's the point of doing it? Okay. What's the point of doing it if we're not going to do it right? So, while they're about to start, I have to enter in this long ridiculous number that the yolo box should do for me. But okay. And there it goes. Oh, that's not where we want it. We want it. How about there? We'll put it there. Okay. So, here it is. They're about to start. And I will give you Rick and Morty semifinals. Rick and Morty. Done deal. This is so cool how I can do all this. I know it's geeky. I know it's geeky, but watch this. Boom. And it should refresh the Rick and Morty. Anyway, I can show you this. This is our player Jack Schiffer, Craig Hughes, Sarah Boston, Troy. They're getting ready. They're playing Rick and Morty. And this is supposed to work, All right. Well, I'll mess with that. You're probably chatting me up. That's Henry. 45 million on Rick and Morty. David is really good. Uh, it's an excellent score. I I guarantee you you picked up mega seeds, right? You are mega seeding it out. Here comes Jack Schiffer. I'll just tell you what's going on while I mess with this. Okay. Now, hopefully you're not seeing this web interface thing. You are watching the game. If you are watching me do this, then I'm really sorry. But I'm very, very anal. And if it's not done the way I want it to be done, sometimes I don't give a [] But sometimes I do. And today is one of the days that I do. Okay. All right. I'm almost done. There it is. And then I go to this overlay here. and I refresh this. If this is showing you all this, I'm going to be really bummed for you and I'm really sorry. It's is just learning. All right, let's just go to Craig Hughes. I'll tell you who it is. Forget it. But always mega seeds, right? I mean, that's what you want. You want mega seeds. Good drop catch. He's in a mode. So, I I'm gonna tell you something very interesting about this game. I'm gonna brag a little bit. Uh, got the lock. So, here's my brager, right, David and Dustin? I interviewed Scott Danesi. I said, "Scott, what's with the left ramp? It's bologn and cheese, dude." Oh, dig it out. Good dig out. And he goes, "It's not baloney and cheese. It is meant to keep you away from the left side of this playfield. So take that and divide the playfield in two from the scoop. Okay, now he's trying to start multiball. And there he does. Good. So multiball with the mode. This is nice. Um, he wants you on the right side of this playfield from what you can see. And it it makes a lot of sense, right? The left side is chaos. You got this ridiculous pop bumper here, but right side, if you can hit these shots from your left flipper, there's one. They're worth a ton of points. Now, we can't see this, so I'm going to go in and and zoom this in in a second, but it makes a lot of sense, right? Not a good multiball. And Sarah's dancing in the background, but Pickle Rick's always fun. Oh, I got to turn the sound on, guys. Give me a second. You can hear them now. Watch this. All right. Now, I need your help here. Nothing's trash can. I I'm trying not to say [] That's That's the thing. All right. Can you hear the game play now? Yeah, there's music and the B-52s are playing, but I think I have a little sound going for you now. Much better than before. Mystery here. So, you really need these mega seeds. Like, he's in mega seed. He's in a different dimension. Got to get these megas. They're huge if you want to get 45 50 million. Oh, unnecessary little flip, but that's all right. Yeah, I was coming again. Cut the playfield in half. The right side is where you want to be. All right, let me know if you can hear them. If you need some more sound, whatever you need, I will give it to you. There's just a few of us here tonight. It's a Friday night. Eureka Heights. We're having a little fun. All right. Slam save. You should get a slam save there. You're okay. Now she's trouble. Got to go in that middle right off the bat. Right when you have that uh right when you have the ball save. Go in the middle. Start a mode. Let's get going. You think the Jerry mod? I don't know. I I didn't ask him about the Jerry Mott if it like offended him. I know. Oh, no. Troy. All right, that's Troy. Let's see if I can get you the web overlay. Is it showing their names? Nope. So, forget it. Forget it. Don't worry about it. This is Jack Schiffer. Oh, I should go in. You can't see the scores. He's got 2 nine. No, he has like 600, 000. He, you know, he didn't have a good ball one, but the portal's open. There it is. Hold on. There it is. Okay, now there it is. Now, hold down that flipper. And he locked the ball. Nice. All right, let's go in the middle. Let's collect some mega seeds. Oh, and he collected a mega seed and he's got So now this is a good move. Oh, good save and a good bounce. Sometimes you get lucky with your bounces, ladies and gentlemen. all right. Come on, Jack. Right side of the playfield. I don't know if Jack, you know, maybe Scott was just blowing smoke up my ass. But I think he's right. It just looks like a right side of the playfield. Ski jump that. All right, get your mystery. Oh, that little nudge that he did up top bought it right in the middle. Yeah, look, I like the Jerry Mod, right? It it makes the game easier. Um, but I think when you're if you're 3, 000 or above, I'm 3, 700th in the world, you should get the Jerry mod. I think if you're under 1500 maybe no Jerry mod 1500 to 3, 000 maybe not you see oh look at that Craig Hughes is just there's a mystery what is he getting a mega seed is the way to go now he's got to hit one of these ramps to get light his uh start adventure and that's what you want you want to start an adventure There it is. All right. Just another miser. Give him another meeks. Meeks is kind of annoying, don't you think? Let's just shut up. Oh. Now, the problem he's stuck here is that ramp's brutal. Oh no. Me slam save. David, you don't need to jerrymod. Oh, let me go fix these scores. I'll be back. Sarah, where am I? Big morning. Okay. Needs to remake stars, says trash. All right. Uh, it'll Yeah, I think you're right. That'll never happen. But if you play uh um you know what game you can play is uh Blues Brothers. That's a total ripoff of Stars trash can. Go by uh yeah go by Blues Brothers by Home Pen. It's the worst game in the world, but they make stars. Okay. Still got a ball save. He's okay. All right. 200, 000 Troy. Let's go. Uh Dustin, dude. It is It was a weird comment and I was so shocked by it. If you go back to the JBS show on Spotify or anywhere, you could listen to that interview. It's a really good interview. Um, he also did a good interview with Nudge magazine recently with Ian Jacobe. And if you're not checking out Nudge, you should. All right, start that mode. And yeah, see, I'm not using David. I'm not using I'm using a YOLO box and it's not OBS. All this I have eight inputs into an OBS. I should take a picture and show you guys on the screen later of the setup itself. This is the YOLO box and I'll show you guys that in a minute. So, yeah, it's just not perfect. You see how it should be perfect? But it's not because it's not Oh, no. He did that himself. All right, Jack. I had it in the red. Okay. Two point 2.6. Oh, he could have backhanded that. So, he has to start a mode, right? Oh, no. Not getting that back. It's megased, ladies and gentlemen. This game's about mega seeds in a tournament, okay? Instead of just trying to start the mode, you got to prime up your portal ray. Sounds ridiculous to say, but you gotta prime that [] up. Here she goes. No. All right, prime it. There it is. Now hold the flipper down. There you go. Now get some mega seeds. Let's get some mega seeds. Anti-gravity ray. She's got total recall. This is good. She's gonna collect a lot of mega seeds. If she can hit these shots, this is really good. All right. Right side of the playfield. Nope. It's okay. You got a multiball with mega seeds. This is huge. Don't waste your time with that ramp. There's one mega seed. That was a huge amount of points, right? Come on, Sarah. But watch the right side, the left side of the playfield and tell me if Scott is crazy because I don't think he's that Oh, Sarah. Unlucky. She got four million because she got those mega seats. Yeah, you got to ski hop. Ski jump the hell out of that. All right, Troy. Ball save gone now. Immortality field prime that thing up. He's got his modes ready to go. Uh oh. Sarah gets through. She's You know what? She'll admit it herself. She's What is it called? She's kicking above her average. She's playing above her average. Okay, good seeing you, sir. Uh, out kicking her coverage. That I mean, these are phrases that Sarah knows, right? But it doesn't matter because Sarah is now moving on with Craig Hughes. Uh, Rush is done. So, I think John might be done. Yeah, dude. That's what this pinball is all about. is just getting stoked for playing. Uh I choked on ball on game six today. Got so nervous. Just got ridiculously nervous. Okay, welcome to Eureka Heights. I'm Jamie Virtual and uh we are moving on to the next round. We're going to move this rig and uh see what is going on. See who our final four is. I should put the standings up. Do I have the standing? No, I have to re-enter that. Let's see. I have to reenter the URL. Yeah, I got to forget it. I can't I can't do it. It's a pain in the ass. I'm not good with the yolo box. All right. Where are we? Ball fixing. Are we down to four? Yeah. Did you get eliminated? Yeah, I did. You want to come on here? Yeah. Good question. Anyone going to Pinberg? All right. So, now we're going to the right side. Check this out. Pulp Fiction. Tough games tonight. Rick and Morty. Pulp Fiction. They played Rush earlier. These are difficult games. Uh, I'm not going to Pinberg, David. I am going to uh expo. All right. So, Grayson's putting some money in. So, we've got Grayson, Craig Hughes, Sarah Boston, who else? We'll find out. Little Grayson wants to win this. He really does. He wants a W. You can't see my face because I have Eureka Heights over it. So, we're going to get rid of that. And you can see my beautiful face. All right. So, let's see the finals here. And let me show you this yolo rig while we're waiting. Let me show you this. Look at this thing, guys. Look at all this [] I have on this. Isn't that unbelievable? It's just an unbelievable thing. It's just not as good as OBS yet. It's just not as good yet, but it's coming. It's coming. Me and Ralph are working on it. Retro Ralph. All right, let's see who is player one. I think it is Tiffany. She needs some cash. Uh, quarters only here. You know, quarters are dollars. All right, top four. Who's with you? you, Sarah, Tiffany, and Grayson. All right. Good group. Oh, John's coming on in a minute, but he, you know, if he doesn't show up, come on in. All right, Tiffany. Here she comes. Tiffany came in late and then like a boss, took two ones in the first and didn't even care. Look at her. She's in the final four, ladies and gentlemen. All right, Craig Hughes, let's go, David. Yeah, it does pop. Let's see. Yeah, see that pops. Now, these flippers, man, can get you. They're hard to play with precision flippers. So John has a a move here. Oh, good save. His move is hit the right in there. Get a mode started. John is big on modes. You could backhand this. It's a nice backhand. It feels good when you do it. You know what I mean? Sometimes a shot feels like really good and you go, "Ah, that's money." Uh, that is the same as Really? He needs to go like he needs to pull the John move. Get those things. Are you on here with me? No. Here, watch this. Don't worry about it. Hey, John. Hello, Jamie. Um, I was telling them I don't have a uh But can you backhand the mode start on this copy? Hell yeah, you can. It works beautifully. And he has he got anything going right now? No modes. Okay. He's really been pounding that other, you know. He needs to start a mode. He's start a mode. He needs to start a mode. I don't know what we're doing here. Yeah, exactly. Okay, that's the modes equals money, says David Beny. Yes. And he's David does. your little things off a little bit. What little thing? His little thing. Let me do that. Is that better for you? You do you. Whatever you want. Doesn't matter. I mean, if you know he can backhand this. No, he's not doing it. He's not, but I he should. Oh, and my That happens all the time. It does. Those tables are rough. Okay. Well, he's going to just play. He's been pounding that right. Oh, good. Nice little bump out there. Backhand this son of Backand. He can do it. Absolutely. You can do it. And you Oh, he doesn't work. He's going for locks. Oh my gosh. You're This is not even What are you doing? He's gonna go back and watch. What are you doing? And I'm gonna tell you, Craig, you got to go for the go for the mod. You got to get a mode started. And that lock shot is so dangerous to me. To me, it's not worth anything cuz even What's the best multiball you could get? 500, 000. Um, multiball. Oh, I maybe I don't know. Maybe a million. But you could do a million on a mode. One mode. You can do a lot of millions on a mode. Especially if you get it. He's going for it. Oh, he's going to start. Well, he's going to start it. See? Okay. Where's he at? He's at 81. He's been working hard. 81. Exactly. One mode. You hit one shot, you're in 100, 000. Yes. Now, sometimes you get that watch mode though. That's a pistol. You know what you do? You bang that watch. You every time you bang that watch. You try, you better every shot you need to be trying to hit that watch and be listening for lights out or whatever it says. That's what he says. That's what you want. You know, lights out or some [] Losing light here, people. Losing light here. There you go. That's it. Losing light. And then you want to get back in there. And that's really good. I mean, this is You talk about the I, you know, talk to people about the greatest shots in pinball. What feels good? And that's one that feels good that you have to work really hard to get. You know, some feel good like the Deadpool skill shot when you block that ball. That feels good and anyone can get it and it's instantaneous. But this one, you got to work for it. All right, here comes Grayson. What's Grayson doing? Grayson's going to start modes. I mean, let's see. I don't know. We Okay, he went for it that time. Yeah. All right, Grayson. Mode starts. So, what do you think about the precision slip flippers on this game? I like them. Some people don't. I'm just No, they don't. They don't. Their names are Wesley. Wesley doesn't like them. Wesley, if you're online, love your brother. I know you don't like them. I'm sorry. Oh, good save. He had to do it. I'm sorry. Yeah, he did. It's okay. He's trying to find where he needs to go. Backhand this show David that it's possible. It's very possible. Oh, he's not going to do it, though. What's he doing? I don't know. Oh, he's getting to be careful here. He's a got one danger already. He's at 25, 000. And that's a lot. It's nothing. These are peanuts, guys. We do it. Come on. Start a mode. We're talking hundreds of, you know. Uhoh. Oh, guy. He's got Do you like that multiball? He's got some reflexes. I don't know. I had to go for modes. I don't All right, he got it. Okay, now he's got to go back into the mode. Okay, he hit the drop target. He's doing both sides. So, from that flipper, he's Oh, and then that's what happens. He lost. How many thousands does he have? 45. Maybe a big bonus. Not much. Not enough. Not enough for all that work. Now Sarah Sarah knows what to do. is what she's playing above her level. She knows it. Yes, she's having fun. She's in the happy to be here stage. She's having a great time. I would love to be in this stage. I didn't even make the final. So, Sarah, what can we do with this? Sometimes you get really lucky. You just get streaky. [Music] Sarah had a Yeah, I didn't even watch the game that she had last, but apparently she came in first. Wow. She was collecting mega seeds like a lunatic on the last ball. Okay. Well, and the bonus got her over it. That's fun. Okay. You know, that's going to Yeah. All right. 43, 000. 121. Oh, she's right there with everybody else. No one's No one's done anything. No one's done anything. Let's see if uh All right, Tiffany. Tiffany, player four. I can't get the scores up. It's not working for me tonight. I really don't care. What's that? showing the scores. Okay. Well, no. I don't care. I'll tell you. That's Tiffany. Going to tell them this is Tiffany. Did Tiffany miss like rounds one and two? Yeah, she totally did. And she got ones, right? She did.

She's That hurts feelings. Oh, nice catch there, Tiffany. Let's back. Let's see. Okay. All right. She's banging it around, keeping it alive. But she she got the drop target down so she can start a mode. I mean, oh, she did. Okay, let's go. Get in there. You need to get in there. Start mode. How It's interesting that no one's going for the uh super skill shot. I go for it every time. I go for it every time as well. It's 100, 000. Oh, she that was Oh, trash can. It it's it's I mean that I can't put their names up. Uh she's got 31, 000 with a total bonus. She's at 57. Okay. So, he's at a Craig Hughes is loving life at 173. He is. He did something good on that first. But he needs to start a mode right here. Right. Okay. See, look. He went for the big shot. No, he didn't get it because that's not the skill shot. Okay. Oh, good shot there, Craig. Good shot. He's focused. He's listening. He's uh Okay. Oh. Oh, that kid just took a dump right there in front of us. All right. Kids got to Good thing he didn't start crying. That's it. Oh, nice. Okay. All right. Another ball lock. So, two locks there. Okay. Uh I I really like a mode. I mean, four players, no modes. Four balls, no modes yet. We'll see if anybody does. Here it comes. Oh, he's got the multiball. The multiball right now. All right. I'm not familiar with this multiball cuz I don't get them. I'm not sure what you need to be doing. David's totally right. 100k you get for the skill super skill. Yeah. And you and the shot you hit also gets the outline ball save. It's vital. Got to do it. The what? The super skill. Okay. David and I know what it is. What is you hold the left flipper and let it fly all the way around then hit a shot. Yeah. That's it. I do that every time. Okay. He without fail. Without fail. I don't get it. I do it every time without fail. Here he goes. You know, he's putting up a good little ball here for doing this method. He's banging around. Yeah. No. Oh, come on. The mode, buddy. Let it roll across. No, shoot the mode. He's shooting. Well, he's got he's in he's still in moldy ball, so he's got to hit this. It's already locked in there now. That's a good bonus. That's a good payout. Okay. So, you just want to hammer the drops as David's saying. Okay. Well, I don't know this one. Oh, when you get this multiball, you're hammering drop target. He hammer drops. He's just hammering drops. Okay, that's his whole mode. Oh, good shot there. Yeah, he's doing it. He's doing things. Is it 500, 000? Mhm. I'd like to mode after this. Yeah, I think he will. Hope so. I would love for someone to start a mode. I want someone to start the car wash and rip some spinners. Yeah, that's the mode you want. How do you change modes? I have no idea. Maybe David could tell us. I have no idea. These kids are This kid loves pinball. He's addicted. Yeah, his parents come here all the time. Put money in your machines, dude. That's all you That's all we want. Well, and we want it. We want this kid addicted to pinball. And maybe one day he'll be kicking our ass, too. Uh, sure he will. All right. He's still I mean, he's at almost 800, 000. He's doing great. He's still hitting drop targets. He knows what he's doing here. I would not I would not that would not have been my strategy, but it it is an effective strategy. It is. So, you know, I mean, he's not a mill. You can't uh can't knock him. And that's another big bonus. Can't knock him for that. It's either slings or pops. You can't change them purposely. That's a mistake. Hold on. I got to fix this. Kind of like on Iron Maiden. Iron Maiden. It's the spinner. No, you got that spinner. That spinner on the left, right on that lower left spinner. We'll change him. I don't know what he's fixing. Uh, that was a slight adjustment. That was freaking me out, John. That was a very slight adjustment. What did you Well, that was off the ground. Oh, we don't want a tripod off the ground. No, that's not good. All right, Craig Hughes. He's out of multiball. Okay, but let's see if we can start a mode. Oh, nicely done. Now, backhand. Come on. Nope. He's not going to do it. God, pains me. So many points over there in those modes. Uh, a ball save. Uh, got a ball save. Okay. 2 mill though, dude. Rock solid, brother. Rock solid. Well done. I mean, he's saying take your modes and shove it. Yeah, that's kind of what he's saying. I'm going to shoot right in the middle. The hardest thing to do. When it's dangerous shot on the playfield, I'm going to hammer it. You know, it's like in Stranger Things, I am only going to beat Demagog I and then all of a sudden he whips your ass on demagogu. Yeah. And you're like, Mhm. How the hell did that happen? Oh, he's so close to that. Oh, good drop. I mean, catch. Yeah, right there. He's going for it. Oh, yeah. How about the new Oh, how about the new setup? It's good, right? The new rig. Yeah, I think it looks good. It looks so good. You can use both sides. Did you even move it tonight at all? No, I haven't moved it once. How many games have you streamed of these two games? This is only my second. Okay. All right, Craig. Well done, Craig. That was ball two, right? That's ball two. And he is player one. That definitely uh Watch this spinner changing things. And then I can put his his thing up here. Isn't that nice? That's cool. But he's totally right. Spinner changing thing is much better than sling than pops because you can control that. You control. You don't want to do how they'll be thy name. You want to do whatever. Yeah. To pop up one time you're there. Yeah. Okay. You're in a good good. All right. Grayson. Okay. What's he going to do here? Grayson was fighting it. And that's it for Grace. Well, that hurts feelings. That hurts feelings. He was leaning away. All right. He took it off. Took it. I'll give him now. First and second. He took it. We move on. First and second. No, this is the finals. First, second, third, fourth is the end of the tournament. This is it. Holy [] Finals. This is the finals, guys. I didn't move the rig once. No. Isn't that great? This is fantastic. This is it.
