So, Yeah, we need to shoot the center to get get a monster out. Just need to check something here quick. All right, we got our skill shot. Start working on the center. Oh, that's interesting. Is that just because the left out lane was lit that happened? Finally, I Igor. Like this is that super valuable mode that I think Shannon was in, you know. Yeah, this One Yeah, there was a different play playing this mode before. I can't actually remember exactly who it was, but the the shots were were ringing for like four four and a half million a pop, right? So, Okay, so that's a locked crypt ball locked. So, you kind of want to get a monster going here now. Oh, this is super hard just hitting like roving roving shots. Yeah, look at that. This is like forget it. So, something is vibrating. Yeah, the thing is that the games are pretty close to where I am. Yeah, there's some vibration for sure. I think it's coming from the base because somehow like the subwoofer in this game is uh absolutely bonkers. You can When you people credit up on a game, you can hear it across the street. Oh, no, we got a Yeah, the left out lane out the drain out lane drained the majority of the balls in the previous game we streamed on this. All right, there we go. Let's see if we can get our back down in the crypts. And yeah, okay. Oh, interesting. Yeah, so that was stolen now. And the funny thing is like when you steal someone's uh when you steal someone's crypts lock, they will get points for being robbed. Oh, is that going to come back? Yeah, who knows? I I can't remember who locked the ball. I think it was Sasha. I can't remember the scores before. Oh, what a shitty drain. The ball was on a tip there. Oh, nice. Got it back into play. Nice slap save there. All right, we got our crypts locked. What you really want to get a monster going with with that, I I bet, right? Okay, that didn't go anywhere. Yeah, the thing is it's very difficult to see kind of, you know, in the center area here uh where where the actual shots are unless you're like uh 4 ft 5, right? Yeah, I wonder if Yeah, so Sasha must have gotten bonus points, but it's weird now she she stole someone else's lock. Just when the ball save timed out I was going to say there, but it was a little bit of a gray steer so Nice, keep it in play. Oh, that took. Let's see. So, we're playing werewolf now then? No? So, that wasn't the center center shot he was supposed to shoot to start the monster. That's what I'm saying, right? You don't really know what you're supposed to shoot for in there. Very annoying. Oh, maybe we can get another crypt lock here. Oh, look at that. There it is. Oh. Such [] All right, so I'm going to keep an eye on her score now, right? So, it is 948. So, let's see if somebody steals somebody steals or crypt lock and see if there's any points in there. Oh yeah, look at this now. Yeah. Player one stole player four. Player four crypt ball and that put a million on player four scores. Given how valuable a multiball can be with ball save and jackpots and all that good stuff. All right. [laughter] Yeah, that didn't get a monster. There's a different light there is flashing. This is so confusing. Oh [] something has come off there. Yeah, we need a we need a somebody All right, so we're going to get the plastic out. Oh, that's a slippery piece of plastic. I wonder where it flew off from. But getting that monster out is sort of the priority right now. That was not the priority. We want to shoot the go for the crypts. What is it The funny thing is like the mode like the monster start is still flashing and it's still on the display, so I wonder if that is still valid to collect. Or do we have a stuck ball now? Oh, there it is now. All right. Uh looks to me where we want to shoot the center. Shoot lit arrows to load your gun. Do it. Ouch ouch ouch, 14 million. All right. Player three needs to double up and uh player four has got a lot of work. All right, that's guaranteed to come back, but now we're live. Yeah, the question is Yeah, it's still in second. That was was like a little shot on the fly there. [laughter] Just want to have another look at it. All right, so Christie, Sasha, Beth and Joy. _(Acquisition: youtube_auto_sub, Enrichment: v5)_ --- *Exported from Journalist Tool on 2026-06-06 | Item ID: f1eda90f-fdc0-4e34-b995-31b8e7c2bd43*
