Tough left ramp. Tough right ramp. I was going for the left orbit. I know we could have just kept looping. Oh, Jesus. Could have just kept looping the left and right ramps, but it wasn't helpful. I really wanted to get all of them pretty close. There's that. There's that. One more, one more, one-handed. Nope. That was stupid. I shouldn't have done that. Got it. Mode now. Now we can worry about that left-right ramp combo. Sammy has had better days. Sammy, what made your day not awesome? Oh no. That sucked. There was nudging. Would have been better there.

Started that one. That went through. Okay. Hold on. Don't start a multiball. We don't need it yet. There we go. Ball one.

We got the extra ball. You would have to be Gozer as a cartoon. All right. Working on the Brian Morris code. Yeah, I knew that was going to happen. oh that was florida man i was wondering who the weird guy was in a in a uh a white tank top uh uh let me call that the white tank top All right, we're cool. We're cool, game. You and me. Mono e mono. Don't... God! Darn it! I knew that was going to start a multiball! All right. I mean, while we're in this multiball, we may as well make some points, I guess. Or not. Who needs points when you can just play pinball? Not. That's... Cool. Cool, cool, cool. Thanks, game. Darn it. Missed it. So we need one left ramp, one right ramp. Left ramp. Or not. Right ramp. Or not. right ramp thank you what mama says in a competition for least safe plunge where would you rank star wars stranger things and led zeppelin i haven't spent enough time on led zeppelin so i don't know where that is but i can tell you that stranger things to me scares me more than Star Wars. Awesome. Extra ball. Not good. Not good. That's a lot of side to side right there. Thank you, game. Awesome. We got our extra ball. Now we can feel a little bit of safety as we're playing, you know? now we can hang out we can have fun we can just flip for flipsies yes yes that was a very late shot i'll take that that was great there it is three to the left four to the right LZ if the auto plunge is fresh. Missed it. Get up there. We got it. Oh, it gave it to us, I guess. I don't know. Left ramp. Oh, God. Good enough. one shot three more i guess four more shots left orbit and mystery are you kidding me i lost the mystery that's the easy shot oh my god i was equally feeling stupid and proud of myself i dropped my phone and the corner landed on my funny bone a for the amazing aim and boy am i a toad oh my god we're at 10 drawings right now i don't it's been a while since i've gotten a an extra ball off that here we are at isolation opportunity for drawing number 11 Can we get, I don't know how many it is. Is it like three or four supers? Lots of jackpots here. Got it. All right. Hopefully that gets us our add-a-ball. I need to actually hit some shots here. There's a shot. All right, now we need a separation. Oh, God. Sure. Get up there! Ugh, isolation was not great. We did finally light our 2x, though. There are no added balls in isolation 2? I thought it was... I thought that was the easier one to get it in. Hmm, alright. One Two One handed Not that that makes any difference It's one handed flipper Alright Up and around There we go I can't believe I did not tilt out with that that was great oh no extra ball got it alright so we have another extra ball Awesome. There's a mode. Get me out. I love this mode. This one's easy. We're just going to play it really safe. We're just going to hit all the shots right there. And then we're going to let the ball gently drop down. Mystery still might, but I don't... Okay. Get me out for two million. Not good. Got it. All right, get me out complete. That should be number 11. Or is that 12 on the drawings? That is 12 drawings collected. Okay. That's a lot of drawings. So we already collected the extra ball as a result of the drawings. I wasn't aware of that. All right. Monster hunting. Oh, God. this is the crappy one. I really don't like this one. Sure. God, this is so dangerous. And Jenga. Okay, that mode is done. We have ourselves our first wizard mode. Of the night. And we're at 13 drawings. We're now at 130 million on the final showdown jackpot. All right. There it is. Send it back wizard mode. Drawing jackpot is at 40 million. That seems like a lot. Really? They're just all going to drain. That's so good. Let's do this. Okay. Thank you Did it give it to me No. Oh, no! No! I didn't want to do that. All right, cool, cool, cool. Now we need to work on the right side. We do have mystery lit. We did, I mean, we needed to complete trap him. All right, right ramp. Nope. Thank you, game. I don't know. Hey, we cracked a billy, though. Right ramp. Come on. We got this. Thank you. Thank you. I'm going to hit the mystery. Maybe we can grab some bullshit mode. Bonus multiplier. Honestly, the bonuses get pretty big. Dirty toes. Welcome to the stream. Trying to get there. I don't think I need to complete this. I really don't think I need to complete this, and I do want to start modes. I just kind of want to be patient. There we go. There we go. Right ramp. Yeah, there it is. There it is. Ah! We're cool? We're cool! Right ramp. Thank you. Alright, save will. Just gonna go there because why the hell not. Yes! Left orbit. Awesome. Left ramp. Awesome. To burn it back. Mystery is lit.

Okay, we can advance spinner. The bonus has got to be pretty decent, right? Also, we're at 14 drawings. That was weird. Not intentional. One more shot. We get to our last mode of the game. Be impatient here. We're going to go... Really? Yeah, there we go. Whew, we're going to go left orbit. Yeah, there it is. There it is. No idea what I was going for there. And right orbit. Awesome.

Awesome. Cool, cool, cool. Yeah, no big deal. Drawing jackpots, 60 million. I don't really know what I'm doing right now. It's definitely not hitting that middle shot, though, for sure. What do we need now? Oh, I think it wants us to hit the demo dog targets. Like that. All right, we're cool. We're cool, game. We're going to go there. Oh, my God. The flippers just drained. That was fun. You're on fire. I'm on fire! It just told me I'm on fire. That was very fun. Cool. Cool. Having a good game. I'll take it. I'll take it. That was a little enjoyable, not gonna lie. Alright, we gotta do Demogorgon and the last Demodog. Welcome, thank you. Center light bricks, complete bricks to light super 2x super for hitting the kicker got it okay but that's all done now uh dom hanks you just missed uh the second so we finished both wizard modes and now we need to focus on the demogorgon and we've got to do the final demo dog mode uh and then we get to final battle that's honestly all i wanted from this game was to get to final battle. No biggie, right? Alright, we've got three letters left. Cool, cool, cool, cool. Got it. Alright, so now we're ready for what's that? Yeah, the danger middle grind. Not fun.

Why are you trying now to be a jerk? All right, left orbit. How about that? Yeah, we can do that. We do have the spell of protection. Awesome. Up and around. Cool. Did we time that out? Oh yeah, we did, and we got the Demo Dog. That's it, we got one thing left. We just have to do Demogorgon. It's not difficult or anything. What does it matter? And I don't, we can't, like, it just sucks because we have to hit all the shots. I don't want to. Especially not when they actually fall. This is so frustrating. Cashing in your 401 in millions for bonus, yeah. Somebody just did something. You gotta help me out, though, because this is intense. Zombie Fishers, did you just... Was that?
