 . Turn it on, let it rock. What's up? What's up, Higher Peanut? How are you? Good to be seen by you. Welcome to Mr. Pinball Theater. What am I looking for? Why am I looking around? Little Guardians today. Can't wait. Looks like I'm doing a solo stream today. Hey, don't panic, Flip. What's up? Just wanted you guys to know that there's a bug in the Mandalorian code. I literally Look I walked past Mandalorian And I said oh I wonder if I wonder if Andres beat my high score So I start flipping Through the thing and the game reboots itself It freezes and reboots It's my Sunday so I'm not doing much Is your day off? Awesome I hope you're not Like it literally I was like oh I want to look at the high scores Click click click you know how you do With these games Just like click, click, click, click. I hit it once more, click, froze. The whole game froze. Then it went back to the serial number screen. It said initializing. I was like, I'm pretty sure the pinball machine's en route. They're not supposed to be rebooting. Randomly. Manufacturers protocol dictates that cannot be captured. All right, so it's working now, but holy smokes. Is that the breeders in the background? Secret flipper code, Crash Game. I feel like that joke I should understand, the breeders, but I don't get it. Is that the breeders in the background? This? That? That? That? That? Explain it to me like I'm seven, Remy. I don't know. I don't get the joke. I got to zoom out a little bit on this. Let's go out a little. So you guys can see the... Oh, wait a minute. No, you can... The eyes. The eyes. It's the eyes that show you if I have a ball set. The band Breeders. The band The Breeders. Oh, you mean you're watching the screen? Can you see the screen? Wow. I have a wide angle lens on. Whenever I come here, I put the wide angle on so you can see some more of the action. So, here's the thing. I wanted to play a chill game today. I just wanted to chill on the stream for a little bit. Hey, what's up, bud? I don't have Beginners Look Merry with me. I don't have Andre with me. It's just me. And I was like, ah, let's play some Guardians. I haven't played Guardians in a little while. I love Guardians. I think their most popular track was Last Splash. Alright, well, new to me. Sorry about the glare that's literally right here. I can't do anything about that glare. We've got a sunlight right there. There's a lot of glare on this table, actually. I wonder if I can lower... Hi Manu. Oh my god. Just turn off the sun for a bit, it'll be okay. The track in the background was Driving on 9s on that album. Got it. I love Guardians. I love Guardians. It's just like this, it's like comfort food. And this one still plays pretty decent. It still plays pretty decent. Marco! Polo. Marco! Polo. Thanks for the rate, Marco. Hello Raiders from Marco Pinball. We have a lot of Marco Pinball products here at Fregal Watch. Sorry, I mispronounced that. Fregal Watch. We have many, many products that are Marco. So I hope you had a great stream. Thank you for joining today. Super chill stream. Just Guardians. Just me. Maybe somebody else might show up But I ran out of time Because I'm busy talking It's a raid What's up old school DMs What's up Obi Drunk Anobi Good to be seen by you again Hey Manu Rollerpinball says what's up Love the shirt, thank you Roaches go in but they don't go out Yeah, sorry about the glare Once again I was explaining about the glare that's like right, literally right here. I'm going to see if I can pan up a little bit on the camera. Backhand! That was pretty baller. Alright, let's restart Yaka. No, don't drain! Don't drain after a cool move like that. Do not drain. Okay, drain. Okay, let me do this. I saw Don't Panic Flip was here. George, how are you, my friend? How was your birthday? I hope you had a great time. It looks fine on stream? Okay. All right, cool. I'll leave it. Thank you, Obi-Junkin Obi. I'll leave it. Thank you, Obi-Junkin Obi. If it looks good, we'll just keep it. We'll just play pinball. We won't worry too much about stuff. I'll see if I can find these shots. It's really hard to find Gamora. I struggle with Gamora. Boom, boom, boom. Use them all. Use them all. Finish them. Finish them. Get that, get that, get that Yondu shot. Get that Yondu shot. Give me that Yondu shot, baby. Let's see how much I got on Yondu. I want Yondu. I want Yondu! Oh my god, Yondu, you're just escaping me! There we go. 13, 15. Okay, that's pretty good. What's your function? Conjunction... Out of all the three ball machines I've played, that one is the quickest that I've drained three balls ever. Oh. My screen is blacking out. I don't know if it's on my end. I'm hoping you're... I got all green over here, so I hope you have a good connection over there. Sorry about that. Let's stick it in Groot's mouth. Get ready for the next mode. Or scene of the movie. George, how was your birthday? Ah crap. This is the one shot you need to learn in this game. That shot right there you have to be really good at. So since we're going to have a multiball, I'm going to go into pod chase. I want to get the cherry bomb real quick. The local place I play has the most touchy-tail bob ever. I'm just a bill. What's up, Grumpy? Grumpy, I'm glad to hear about your success with Wonka. By the way, I would never wish a Jersey Jack code update on anybody. I apologize if you have to do a Jersey Jack code update. Holy smokes. Me and Grumpy had the hardest time. I'm sorry. I love Jersey Jack's games, but that update process was three days for me. I think it was about three days for Grumpy also. Grumpy did Wonka, and I did Dialed In, and I did Dialed In, and Waz, and Guns N' Roses. So that was fun. Not fun. Great, I got a multiplier on Groot. Get in there! First birthday was awesome. Chicago pizza on Friday, Saturday, Meow Wolf. That Sunday I went to Winter Park and rode my bike down a mountain all day. Wow. That's awesome. I wish my handle was grumpy. Already taken. J.J.B. Cole update versus Windows update. Which would fit? Windows. Windows. Windows. all day Windows. Because it's a computer and I can reach the USB ports without much trouble. And like I said, I absolutely love Jersey Jack games and their... Let's do this. I love their games and I love their system and I love the fact that they're integrated with Scorebit. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh you, frack you, rocket! So does that mean you're two feet tall? Were you Rocky Mountain High on your bike? What's up Zap? Zap, where's Roger? Demoman, that's the trick. And I'm sorry guys if I'm screaming in a microphone, but I can't. I have the game up really loud. Demoman, that's the trick. We did these updates so that they could be updated in the future via Wi-Fi. Right? In Jersey Jack's defense, all the JJP games here were super old code. Like, Wizard of Oz was like, Wizard of Oz was like fucking 1.0. It was ridiculous. So Woz is now on Wi-Fi and Scorbit. Guns N' Roses is on Wi-Fi already and Scorbit. Dial In is on Wi-Fi and Scorbit. And Grumpy got Wonka on Wi-Fi, well, at least on Scorbit. Well, at least updated. And Pirate's Code isn't out yet, so I'm not going to bother doing pirates until I have to. Now it's Now is it It is now possible To log into the Stern Inside of one site And print your QR code I did it today Cool DejaVee's code DejaVee's beta code On Hobbit is sick We don't We don't have I don't have any access To a Hobbit That's the only game I don't have access to Is a Hobbit Which kind of sucks I want to try Hobbit again Because Hobbit Hobbit brutally murdered me In a In a tournament At California Extreme One time Brutally murdered me So I never wanted to talk to Hobbit again, but I want to give it a chance now The trick is never connect to anything to the internet. You don't want to get attacked at some point That's true It's just really that it's just really that doesn't know how to use the internet. Okay You have a hobbit at the David you have a hobbit. All right Grumpy, Grumpy We need to coordinate so I can get down to the To the arcade To the pinball museum So I can stream Wonka When you get it on wifi I want to stream Wonka so I can use my score a bit And show the achievements That would be clutch I want to show achievements on something And the only thing that has achievements right now is Woz Nothing else has achievements Oh, do I have to make that shot? Am I done? Thank you very much. Alright, now we're going to attack Groot again. I don't care about sanctuary too. I don't care about it at all. We have to attack Groot. By the way, you can opt in... Yes. Obi Drunken Obi, I've actually opted in to all the betas. I've opted in to all the betas on all these machines. So they're all beta opted in. Let's do the easy ones up front. You eat my yogurt! Shit. That was bad. That was a bad flip right there. Ugh. I don't own the Hobbit, but it's there. Okay, can you update the Hobbit, Grumpy? You have keys? Stop. Don't tilt me. Don't tilt me, please. I didn't mean to do it so hard. Don't tilt me, please. How much time I got? 31 seconds. Up the middle, up the middle. I got more? Done. Okay. Oh, and so am I. Put it in your mouth. Oh, bad flip, bad flip, bad flip. No! Oh, whoa, whoa. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. What is going on? What's that? Ugh, ugh, ugh. Damn it. I had the super. I almost got the super. All right, we're at Cherry freaking Bomb. Thank you. That's all I wanted. Let's see. Well, that's good as well. Although connected to internet all the time, sometimes it's better to stay on older code. My iPad just updated to iPad 15 and I hate it. Yeah, boom, done, left orbit. I didn't know, boys, I didn't know. I wasn't watching. I was terrible at watching. Wankerbait has achievements, I believe. Yes. I can't wait to see the achievements in there. PPM Hobbit is down right now. A rubber broke and appears to be a few hours of digging below dot ramps to replace it. I had keys in the game right now. Beta code on the Hobbit is a game changer. Oh, really? Nice. Beta code on the Hobbit, baby. Yes. Oh, you suck. I need Hadrons. I need Hadrons. I need Hadrons. Shoot the Hadrons. Damn it. This is sucking. This is the worst. Am I not done? Right up the middle? Which one? I need Nebula. I need Nebula I need to fire one up Nebula Yeah I know time's running out And I can't get Nebula Nebula Nebula Nebula Oh Nebula Damn it I apologize. That was utter garbage. I shot Nebula like three times and it bricked me. No, it didn't brick me. It just came back. Morty cries are working right now. Morty was screaming behind me. It was so good. Alright, let's slog it out. Shoot. I'm going to do half of each mode now. So I can get to immolation. Maybe orb. Maybe orb. Oh boy. That's not a shot. That's not a shot. That hopped the flipper. That's not a shot. I'm missing Groot now. That's a nebula shot. I needed that yesterday. That's one. Oh my god, that was terrible. And that wasn't even half of it. Ronin. Damn it. Alright, work on Groot some more Oh, Rocket, you suck it Hey! It scored a shot to the It scored a shot to the To the orb, but it didn't go in Alright That's a ball save That's a Groot hit. That's in your mouth. Let's prepare Groot for another battle. Me and you, Groot. Me and you, Groot. We're going to do this. Me and you, Groot. Me and you, baby. Me and you, baby. Oh, shoot. Me and you, baby. Let's do this. Come on, Groot. Come on, Groot. Groot. Go go go go go! Go go go! How many more do you need in your mouth, Groot? Tell me. Oh crap. Uh oh. I got one shot on Quill. Yeah, screw it. I'm not gonna do Quill. Let's go to, yeah, let's go to Antiquities. Boom! Frisco! What's up, Frisco Pimp? Once again, your fault, Frisco! Once again, your fault. I thought we liked each other. All of a sudden, freaking Rip Taylor is yelling in my ear. Hello, Frisco. All right, here we go. We're going to use these. Boom, boom, boom. Just going to use them all. Where am I? Am I halfway through? What's up Frisco, my buddy? My dog. What's up my dog? Did you guys see how well I was doing before Frisco showed up? It's easy to blame somebody else for your own incompetence. What I should have done is kept going for group just keep going for group So that's a pretty good first game for 24 72 but 422 This is a this is a an afro if you guys don't know what I'm doing This is the afro the Michael Jackson afro Not much enjoying the stream before leaving the office Nice I always blame Becca I am your kryptonite Backhanding the orb seems dangerous Yeah it dangerous on this one now And I think it because Here's why I think it's dangerous on this one. In order to repair the orb... So the orb broke. I don't know if you guys can see it. Let me know if you're familiar... If you're at all familiar with Guardians. I don't remember because it's been this way for such a long time but this right here I don't think that's supposed to be rubber I think what happened is something broke and they wrapped rubber on it I'm not sure if you know the layout of the original game is that supposed to be rubber? it just doesn't seem like it to me so now that ball will bounce like a monster coming out of there. Frisco night. Let me see what I get on the BPX real quick. Oh, no, no, no. Demo, demo, demo. No, it's okay. We don't need to compete. We don't need to compete, Demo. It's okay. All right, go ahead and do it. Go ahead, go ahead. Tell me what you get. I like to perform. I don't really like to compete. That's why I do so much better in my garage by myself. Wow. Uh oh. So, Guardians of the Galaxy VPX battle. I'll have you guys know that the very tail end of the development of Guardians of the Galaxy VPX was based off of this table that I'm playing right now. So the very end of the dev cycle, because that's when I came on. It was around the end of the cycle, because the fishbowl had already written most of the code. I obviously forgot how to play Yaka. I clearly forgot how to play Yaka. Because that was the worst Yaka play I've ever seen. Let's get Groot ready. Oh, Groot. You screwed me. What's up, Creation? Creation Samurai! With the new fancy speakeasy VPX, you can get a dual stream with Pez. Does Pez have a... Does Pez have a... Guardians? How accurate is the VPX version? If I were to give it a percentage, it's about 92% accurate. I would actually let's yeah 92 91 92 percent accurate I'll tell you this much the Batman 66 is like 98 97 98 percent accurate in terms of rules and and play um I'm giving the VPX for Guardians a 92 because there are things in there that I had to you know let the team know is a thing in this game and in most pinball games. So that was the... And it's that little extra 8% that the pros will use to their advantage. Oh, Pez has a speakeasy. Got it. Pez has a speakeasy. Okay. I don't remember seeing Pez with Guardians. I don't think Pez is a Guardians kind of person. No, no, that's not... That's... My version of... My versions of Guardians, in that screen where she picks up the orb, she doesn't pick up an orb, she picks up a mystery pinball theater pinball. Harlan made that for me, just for my cab. It's pretty sweet. Uh, how much yakka did I do? Oh, I finished... Wait, what? I finished yakka? Oh. I actually finished yakka? You ate my chocolate! Well, this is gonna suck. Both of those are damn good Writing them from scratch I don't I don't recall how long Guardians took Because I wasn't in on it Until the very tail end But I do know that Batman did take The good part of a year And that was during a pandemic When we had time What's up Oh Damn it What's up motherfucker You sexy motherfucker Waka waka. One more. One more. One more. Uh. The thing you don't want to do in this game is wait. Because every mode. Every mode. There's a timer. Now you want to just clear all the shots you can. I want to make shots. Maybe, somehow, make a shot. Up the middle. Let's park a ball up in Boots mouth. That's always good. Use your Hadrons. You can't use Hadrons if the ball drains and the game is over. Got it Mystery is out of balls Really? I ran out of time? Shoot Wait, am I really out of time? Give me my extra ball then This game is confused Let's see how many balls I can stick in his mouth Open his mouth, man Open your mouth Open your mouth Open your mouth Open your mouth Open your mouth Damn it How many can I keep on the table? That's a trick Ah Ah Ah, damn it. That was fun. That was no points, but that was fun. At this point, balls in mouth. Thank you. I achieved. I achieved balls in mouth. Let me catch up with chat, because I'm not enough. Hurry up. You finished Yuka? Yeah, I finished Yuka. Make me half rounds. Ah, I mean, make me Make me onion rings. Make me tater tots. I forget the words, George. I might have to place a league. What's your mode order? Okay, I'll tell you my mode order. Mudderfutter. All I know is about hadrons and the hadron crab is a misc. Is phrasing still a thing? Mmm, onion rings. Alright, so, mutter-futter. My order on this game is start with Yuka. And I'll tell you why to start with Yuka. Yuka, you can get shots from the pop bumpers. But, once you get a... You can redeem like four playfield shots from the pop bumpers. But, once it hits a pop bumper, it has to hit another switch before you can get the next. So it's not going to be just pop, pop, pop, pop, you get four shots. It's got to be a pop-up, then another switch altogether. But if you can send it up to the pops, you can get it up there. You can get four shots cleared for you. All right? and that generally speaking will clear yuka yaka I keep saying yuka yaka that will generally speaking clear yaka some people now marafara here's something that some people do I'm not in a timeout right some people will go quills quest for the first ball if you have never flipped that particular Guardians and you're just thrown into the game, you go Yakupag Quill. Yeah. So some people use Quill's Quest first if you've never flipped it before and you don't know where the shots are on the table. They go Quill's Quest just to see where the shots are on the table. See how it feels, how everything feels on that first ball. So that's not... That's not a bad strategy. But if you want to put some scores up, I highly suggest maybe go yucca yucca some people go um pod race or nowhere based on how much group they finished so if you got group ready a mode like pod race i can save that i can save a mode like pod race or nowhere is good for group sometimes my old strategy was go Yaka and then Antiquities because Antiquities once again you can get kind of free shots off of the pop bumpers but it's a little weirder it's like 30 pops for one shot it's like really a grind for the pops to work with you on Antiquities but if you can backhand this orb shot you can do pretty well like let's do this let's do I'll start with antiquities actually let's start with antiquities always take your skill shot which is like zero skill on this game there's no skill for that so hit this target oh my god it's dangerous it's very dangerous so notice how I got a shot from uh from antiquities already and I didn't really make a shot It's super dangerous, that right there. So your mileage may vary with that. A lot of... Yeah, it's... You also gotta contend with that bullcrap! So you also gotta contend with that bullcrap when it comes out of... This game used to be really nice and not do that. Now it's evil and it's flinging it down the left side almost every time. Yeah, it's doing it a lot now. Let me think. Mudder, you know about upgrades, right? So if you're in a mode and you hit the upgrade scoop, for most of the modes they'll get a little easier, quote unquote. they'll get a little easier because they'll light up all the shots or something. Once again, your mileage may vary with that. These pops are really being nice to me today. Not the lanes, though. Not the out. Look, the pops are basically finishing it for me. the pops basically finished it for me so I think it is done but I'm on ball two which is find group definitely find groups mouth find it on the clipper find on the left and the right flipper some some Guardians yeah damn it some Guardians don't feed well from the right flipper some guardians don't feed well from the right flipper oh my god magnets how do they work I want magnets on every table F you Frisco magnets should not exist on any pinball machines ever, period. I've spoken. Magnus can kiss my butt. Oh, so Motherfucker, there is a strategy you can use to get to Immolation Initiative. You can complete exactly half of, I think, every single mission. If you get through Immolation If you get to the Immolation level You can play Immolation multiball That's too many shots Carnival, what's up bud? How did the VPX The VPX, there's actually a, I think, correct me VPXers, but I think what the fishbowl told me was that there is a magnet object in the VPX so you can set the intensity and it will attract the ball. It works like a magnet. So I got to immolation. So that's a 2x on Groot right now. You do want to pay attention to when they tell you that the 2x shot multiplier is lit. Because the shot you take will be doubled then. Right? So I have 2x on Groot right now, which is decent. it. So that means the super, if I can shoot... There you go. You can see what it's going to be. Damn it. Too much. Groot right now has two in his mouth. And I haven't hit any of my jackpots yet. And they come back out after a while. So you got to put them back I'm not going to use my Hadron during a multiball right now. I'm going to use my Hadrons during a mode. Generally speaking, you want to use your Hadrons during modes, unless your super jackpot is huge. And I'm not sure if you can claim your super in a multi with a Hajon. I don't remember. The magnet kills you on the VPS2? Yeah. I love this game. It seems very well balanced. It's not cheap. You can see Andre got 10 billion. I'm not at Andre level. Alright, I'm going to try starting with Quill's Quest. Quill's Quest being a two ball multiball, but you have to hit two shots. Quill is always lit to redeem one of those shots. So Quill is always one of those shots. There we go. A lot of the shots go cross. So it's worth it to try and shoot quill as much as you can. And it's worth it to try and knock off as many quill shots as you can when quill grabs the ball. So that was actually quite good for a quill mode. And I think I'm going to leave it like that. I'm not going to go back to it. I'm going to start shooting good a little bit. I feel like if Groot has his mouth open and he's waiting for a ball give it to him trying to beat my score alright cool yo the VR version is the best way to try I agree with you use the VR version to do it. It's easier for me. Actually, I'm almost finished Quill. I need one more shot to finish Quill. We might as well finish Quill. Let's do it. And I can use a Hadron. What's up, Wolfman? Damn it. I was doing so well, too. I used one Hadron to finish Quill. Oh, there's another strategy, Mudder Putter, which I just reminded myself. Some people start Quill's Quest in the beginning of the game, and they don't try. This is for tournament, though, only. They don't try to finish Quill. They try to get Hadrons out of it. So the idea is to start the multiball, hit all the Hadron targets, get the Hadrons, and then see how far you can get into Quill. Don't worry about it. Once you come out, you've got three Hadrons ready for the next mode. I'm just a turkey. Yes, I'm only a turkey. And I'm sitting here on Turkey Hill. You're not good at rhyming. Let's do... Well, that's cool. I got... Well, yeah. Let's do Sanctuary. I can finish Sanctuary, generally speaking. It's... It's a little bit scary. But what I will do is... Go after... I'll go after Sanctuary while I have a ball save. I don't have a ball save anymore, so now I have to do it kind of... Oh! Do it kind of the hard way. And Sanctuary, once again, if you guys don't know, is the stand-up target. What's up, Chibi Buddha? Oh, shoot. I don't necessarily want to use a multiball on Sanctuary. And you can't... I can... Oh, I did that. I did that. I saw me do that. Damn it. What's up, Cheesy Buddha? You can't use Hadrons during Sanctuary, though. You can't use hard-on and force them during Sanctuary. So look at me. I've got three more shots to go to get all my hard-ons done. I don't know if I'm going to get all my hard-ons done in three shots. I can't hit a stand-up friggin' target to save my life right now. I'm at Immolation. So I'm at Immolation for Sanctuary. I think I can leave it there and keep going I'm glad to hear I'm the only guy who calls with a hard on for me the easier goal is Cherry Bomb the harder goal is Immolation because you have to speak to every mode in Immolation a little bit tougher what's up Patsy alright let us now I'm going to do something stupid I'm going to do Escape Klin whatever the hell it is which is all about the lanes As you see the lanes are flashing I think you have to complete all the lanes and hit the shots And I think Rocket has to be the last shot. So those are done. This is pretty hard. Look at that. Look at Manu almost finishing it. Look at Manu almost finishing it. Can I backhand this? I'm just going to hit Groove. Just go for the safe shot. I almost finished it but you gotta hit Groove. You gotta hit Rocket. Can I backhand? Come here Rocket. Come here Rocket. I can't backhand that. I can't backhand that. Got it. Alright, I'm ignoring my own rule, which is if Groot's mouth is open, shoot it in Groot's mouth. That felt amazing, guys, to finish that one so soon. Uh-oh. Got it. That was amazing. Okay, let's do... I got Groot close, so let's go to Pod Race. No Well Yeah, let's do pod chase Damn it I could have not slapped I don't know I didn't know how many I thought I had dangerous I guess I was wrong Crap, ball two Oh, man I'm going to do a super skill shot. Now, realistically, the super skill shot, it's decent points. It's not a lot of points. But it got me to the flipper faster. I want to get to the flipper as fast as possible to start these moats again. There he is! Woo! Woo! What's up, fishbowl? Hail, hail the mighty fishbowl, the mighty fishbowl is here. It's like old times, right buddy? How are you, man? Good to be seen by you. What's up fishbowl? I'm doing a little clinic on one of our favorite games, Garia. Get some of that cherry bomb. I already got the cherry bomb once. We're trying different strategies right now. So what I want to do is I want to get, I don't have upgrade lit. That's interesting. I don't have upgrade lit. Oh, you murderous little... Okay, they're all lit up again. Thank you for the bitties. There we go. We're done. Ding, ding, ding, ding. All right They've been right in the mouth there you go Yo, mutter putter take it easy, but Thank you showing up. You're good. Say and you see she has to come and check it out. Hahaha Nebula Alright, let's take our mystery. The fishbowl. I come to this game when I want to have a lot of fun playing pinball. When I just want to have some fun playing pinball, I come to this guy. Let's do Yaka. Damn it. I wanted to have a chill stream. Yeah. I don't know. People. There's some people who got hateration for Guardians. If I owned the Guardians. I don't think I would want to let it go. It's so much fun. And people are like. Oh it's the same layout as Metallica. But Metallica is a very different game though. Fishbowl. Thank you buddy. Thank you for the biddies. I appreciate it. Always. always my man Metallica is a very different game see I'm trying to get it up to the pops there we go so I can redeem some more shots pops remaining too If I get it up to the pops again I can get another shot There we go And I get one more shot Boom, got them all So if you get it up to those pops You're pretty good Oh, so close Oh, that's ball two Okay, that's pretty good I got three done The fishbowl I'll get a cherry bomb for you, alright What's crazy is I did Escape It's Gabe Killam and I finished it like 1, 2, 3. That was weird to do that. Let's do Nowhere. It sounds like a very different set of 80's music. I drain so much I get... I drain so much I get up there all the time. Alright, I'm gonna go for, I'm gonna do my My, uh You ate my breakfast Upgrade, that's good I'll take the upgrade This game is feeding very nice to this left flipper out of this scoop So that's what you want to see. You want to see how it feeds you. Shit. You want to see how it feeds you out of this scoop here. If it feeds nice to the left flipper, let it bounce every time. Alright, so we're going to try and get through nowhere so that I can... You What you say That was kind of garbage because I hit that shot But it wasn't lit Oh because I still have a ball in the table Oh I still have a multiball going Geez Alright Have you checked your ball? Thank you. Who's left? That's the second time that happened to me. Wait. Where's the achievement? I didn't see it. I broke my achievements. Where is it? Oh, the multiple. Fiends, I didn't see the achievement. I got to check that. F plus. Where's the achievement? Man, that was heartbreaking. So it's times like that where you got to let the ball drain. And you got to let all the balls drain so you can just take a shot. You know what I mean? Let's see if I can get halfway through this. That's the end of that. Damn it. Oh no, I still got the ball saved. Okay, good. Give me the ball. Give me the ball. Not, not then. Give me the ball when I want it. Watch this. Backhand. Oh. Wait. This usually works. This usually works. Backhand. Just go in the... Just... Get in there. Ah, save. So much time to have left. 82 seconds. Wow, I got lots of time. Ah! This game is so much fun. The fishbowl's like Okay, we gotta go back and finish this The fishbowl, I think I asked you this before But All the time, none of the balls This game is so much fun It's so achievable Yet, it's just like You wanna do good? Get better The fishbowl, I don't remember if I If I mentioned About immolation Did we code it so that if you get halfway through to emulation on every mode, you start emulation initiative? Is that right? Nice. There's a mode I never got to because I never had the patience to just do half of everything. Maybe I might try now But it's just It's such a grind it feels like To do half of everything Let's do half of everything Alright Escape kill So you know how to get to the inlanes You have to hit the ramps. You have to hit the ramps to get to the end lanes. That's one. What's up, Technologic? Is that an upgrade for Immolate? Oh, there's Immolation. There's Immolation. Hey, Lynn. Deep hurting. Deeper All right I'm gonna let I'm gonna let this time out I'm gonna let this time out guys I'm doing this on I'm doing this on purpose This is the only One of the only sterns That won't stop the timer If you don't flip So there's that Let's see Same as Batman 66 You get rewarded for consistent practice and work as you grind it out. That's right. Technologic is in the place. Boom, chaka, chaka, chaka. Boom, chaka, chaka. Or do you mean ooga, chaka, ooga, chaka? Ramps, shats, the inlays. It's so hard here. So hard here. All right, so we timed it out. I didn't run out of time. I used all my time up. All right, let me see if we can start another one. Oh no! No! Oh! I'm going to light my ball save. Oh crap. That's not anywhere near any of the shots you wanted to take there. Can I see something that happened earlier? I'm laughing on the inside. I get lucky and it rolls up the flipper to the inlanes. Alright. That was a waste of a ball one. So I got half done. Let's do half and nowhere. Let's do half and nowhere. Now this is the part where it gets scary to start your multiball. Actually, actually, actually I think I should just start the multiball. How many shots do I need? Frack you, Rocket! This is some scary stuff right here. Now the nice thing is you can keep shooting the character. Generally speaking, you can shoot the characters that are part of the scene. Ah, I could have saved that. Damn it. And they stay lit. So Quill's quest will be Quill, Drax, and Ronin, because Drax and Ronin are fighting. Okay, finish the last part of the Great Twitch Hack Reset. Great twitch hack reset. This is a new challenge for me to see if I can just get through half of every mode. And it's not going well. Ronin! I could go for the... Okay, there's the emulation. Don't drain. Don't drain. There we go. Okay, there's the emulation. It's a long way to go to do this, guys. And I'm not... I don't think this is the smart way to do this. This is not the smart way to do this. The way to do this is to... Very well placed target game Very well placed target Yes Yes If it's Channel Point Redemptions That's what I'm rolling in 500k Dang I think you can still get Immolation whether or not You complete the mode You have to get to Immolation level though I was just trying to do them enough to get to emulation mode, which is completing half of it. So you'll see on the display it'll say emulation mode, once you've gotten through half of it. You'll hear the . That way they're like, eh, you can keep going if you want. All right, let's go back to the basic game. We haven't done orb multiball, so let's try and get some orbs. Let's do some orbs while I burp. So I'm always going to go for Groot while I have ball save. Or dangerous shots. It's like any time that ball save is up, dangerous shots is what I'm thinking about. or being one of the dangerous shots so admittedly that's admittedly I should have gone for orb when I said I was gonna go for skill shot wrong skill shot One orb collected Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah Don't, don't, don't, don't You know, I could turn that off I could I could just turn it off I could just I could just go in there and just go We don't need that magnet for right now. Did I do it? I do it. Oh man. Please! Don't! Okay, or multiball. I want to hit that drop target as fast as possible. As fast as possible. And then you start the multiball. Thank you Oh really game Damn. That was so much potential, but you saw it, okay? You saw what happened. It's a thing that happens in the game. What haven't we done? We haven't done any sibling rivalry. Let's play sibling rivalry. What's the upgrade for sibling? Let's find out. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. I think the upgrade for sibling... I'm really curious of what the upgrade for Sibling Rivalry is. I won't see it. At least not this game. Ladies and gentlemen, the Jackson 5! Thank you. I saved that for my son. I'll let him watch that later. Sibling rivalry. Rivalry. We want to know what the upgrade is. The upgrade is a couple more shots. It's not great. It's a few more shots. Now sibling rivalry is like shots to the left and shots to the right. It's shots to the left of the playfield, shots to the right of the playfield. Oh my goodness. It's like defeat the magistrate, or deceive the magistrate. I'm not doing very well at it, actually. So let's hit Groot. Maybe Groot can give us a nice feed to a flipper. Nebula is such a monster to hit. Let's go in the group, smile. Man, my network is cutting out. Oh, no, the fishbowl. Is everybody's network cutting out right now? It's like everybody's having network trouble today on the screen. Oh, my God, Nebula, you are so monstrous. Why can't I hit you? Come on, game. I get into a rhythm and you do that to me? Damn. Come on, game. Stop being a game, game. How far did I get, guys? Did anybody see? That's my favorite shot on this game. It's that backhand. Oh my god, that backhand. I love it. Alright. I'm going to do another mode. Screw it. Let's do Antiquities. Please don't. Thank you. This is one of the stupidest modes to do a multiball on, but I'm going to do it. I can never get that ahead. That backhand is tricky. But it's very safe. It's tricky, but it's hella safe. Alright. Alright. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Nice shooting, Tex. I started double scoring. I started a lot of things. Maybe I'll just finish this one. Pop bumpers, pop bumpers, pop bumpers, pop bumpers, pop bumpers, pop bumpers, pop bumpers, pop bumpers. Oh, my command! Oh, really? Time is up. So that means, I think I got to immolation now. Let's see if we can finish this and get the super. How many do I need left? How many do I need left? Let's see. Oh, up the middle is done. If I can get it up the middle, I'm done. Come on, come on, just give me the frickin' ball. There we go. Super. Super. Super. Super. Super. Super. Super. Super. Super. Super. Super. Super. Super. Oh, that was murderously quick. Alright, let's see. Where are we? Half of Antiquities, half of Sibling. AS. AS. Oh! Always be shooting group. Yeah, watch it. And it had movement and no, like, rogu-goo-goo. Rogu likes rare, ultra-rare delicacies, like sapient children. You got one super already there somewhere. Cool. My understanding is they weren't yet fertilized in time. Sure, but wasn't her species on the brink of extinction? You guys are having a great conversation. Let's see. So we have emulation. Emulation. And I had an extra ball. Let's do yaka. Let's get some yaka done. That's a yaka shot. Okay, so emulation is done here. I used two Hadrons to do it, but I don't care. I got an upgrade. I might as well take the last shot and get it done. Right? I'll just take it. And just get it done. Alright. So where are we at right now? We are at emulation level with... Three of them. So I need to pick another one. No! No! That's the one time I got screwed by that backhand. Woo! No. No, no. No, no, no. No. Please. Alright, I'll take it. What's up, Nesta? Welcome to the theater. Glad you could be here with us. with us we're going to play a little guardians having some fun with guardians right now wow the high score the the replay on this is embarrassingly low all right so i'm going to take my shot at pod hi chase And I'm going to use this lovely Oh, that backspin That ball had No That ball had some ridiculous backspin on it Get in there You guys, seriously Make that shot Thank you I barely got over 50 million Spicy saves, I'm doing the spicy saves today Alright We just want to get through half of it We just want to get through half of it If I get some hadrons, I'm going to use them We need an upgrade Make this a little easier Boom, boom, boom I'm just using them guys Because I have a specific purpose Right now Did I get the upgrade? I don't think so Got it, upgrade I might just finish it. What's up, Nail Buster? I'm as shady as I am the real shady. Oh, you so suck. Get in his mouth. Thank you for the sub at Tier 1, Vic. Is it thick? Wait. I will give you a proper thank you as soon as I'm finished dealing with these guys. And he got super right up in the middle. Super, super, super. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Take it. Take it. Take it. Ah, I missed it. That would have been nice. Get it. I can use those Hadrons later. Got it. 12? Alright, I'll take 12. This game is so crazy stupid fun, guys. My friends, if you get a chance to play... I seriously almost lost my shit because that ball hopped over the flipper. I seriously almost lost my freaking mind. Did you see me? I almost walked away from the game. Get in there. Let's see. So far, so good. We got to do sanctuary. We got to do half a sanctuary. We got to do half a quill. Let's try half a quill. Well, this is going to be easy. One, two, three, four. Alright, we're at emulation. We're at emulation. Now, I can't open Groot's mouth right now. Because we are in a multiball already. Get in there. Oh, that was almost done. I should finish it. Just hit those two and finish, but I'm not going to. Believe it or not, I'm not going to. Oh, wow. Wow, it's so hard to light locks now. So they make you hit it twice. I've never gotten that far with Groot. Two hits to open his mouth now. Oh crap. Oh crap. Got it. Okay. We got nowhere and we got killed. Upgrade is nice. I'll take it. I'm at emulation right game Why didn't it play the emulation music yet Why didn't it play the emulation music yet? I'll take nebula. Ah, shit. She won't give it to me. I might as well finish it then. Give me the ball. Give me the ball. I got to do kiln. Oh, I missed it? Oh, okay. Thank you. All right. I got to do kiln. I think that's almost everything. It's good to get this multiball ready for Kill'em. And look at how low-scoring this game is, though. That's hilarious how low-scoring this game is. Yeah, that's it. Oh, shoot, I got Sanctuary. Alright, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to do this guy, because this guy is an asshole. Look down the field, Lee! Oh, damn it. Give me the emulation right now. Got it. So I think emulation... Look, I could be wrong. I could be wrong, but emulation could be at... This bonus should be pretty good. $136 million in bonus. I could be... Close to... Mystery! Ball save is lit. Alright, I'll take it. Alright, here's the part where I'm not going to shoot that shot. I'm just not going to. How's everybody doing today? I'm going to check my phone. I'm going to chill out. This is the last game on the stream, guys, because I didn't expect this game to go so long. But we're going to try and get... What else is there to do? Sanctuary. Sanctuary. Most skilled at pin play. Thank you. I'm going to try and get to sanctuary much. I only got to do half of it. This will be boring until it's done. I'm starting to decide if joining a women's pinball league tournament is going to be a good idea for me. I think it's always a good idea, Lynn. It's a good idea. Trust me, it's a good idea. The question is, why not do it? Right? Why wouldn't you want to be down in an awesome women's pinball league playing with your peers and learning how to get better? Like, I got better by playing on a league because everyone went there was amazing oh and really um no don't tilt me ah That was so cheap. That was so cheap. At least I got a ball save. That was nice. Oh! Sucker punch. Did you guys see how close I got to freaking immolation? For you. Damn it. I told you, it's a grind. I told you it's a grind. We're building up dangers all day. It has to happen sometime. Oh, my God. Well, one day, guys, on stream, I will get to emulation. I think I was one shot away. I was one shot away. One or two shots away from that emulation. But I'd have to start it, too. So there you go. Yes. All right. Well, this is definitely going up on YouTube. This is one of my best progress games. Not score, but progress. That was pretty satisfying. Anyway, thank you guys for joining me. I will see you on tomorrow in the theater. Hopefully you can join me. 9 p.m. Pacific time. I know it's really late for Eastern time. The fishbowl, did you see how well I almost cracked that emulation code? That was fun. I'm going to try that again on my own. Games plan really would. Woo woo. Tangible progress. Alright. I'll see you guys tomorrow. 9pm Pacific. In the theater. We'll watch something fun. Thanks for joining me. Have a good one kids. We'll be right back. Thank you. Outro Music
