Because it's something that I haven't ever really kind of... Well, there was a time where I was playing it a lot, and then I lost all the DOF. What's up, Iron Fox? I lost all the DOF. So just so you guys know, Lynn helped me get all the lights and the clicking happening again on this table.
1:04
This game reminds me of... Night Scorpions, what's up? Welcome to the theater. This game reminds me of... It's kind of like a clean... When you play it, it's really clean.
1:17
It's super clean. I don't know. I can't describe it any better. It's almost as if the play field never gets dirty.

    • 1:26
    Nailbuster! Hey, bud. What is up? Wow. Hey, Nail Buster. So it's like a super clean game that never gets dirty and never breaks. But you can say that about all virtual pinball machines, but this is kind of, this is weird because it just, it feels, the physics are amazing and it just feels too clean. Like the shots are too clean. I can't make the shots, but the shots are very clean.
    1:57
    People are getting like the billions in this game and I just never broke like 300 million. It's a 3 giga... It's 3 GB of view. Looks nice.
    2:19
    You know what? What is 3 GB? Nailbuster, I can't... I just... What is... Three gigabytes of view? Is it that? This game is very... Takes up a lot of space, yes. Here's what's funny, Lin.
    2:35
    Yeah, yeah, exactly. Every time you change the size, it goes, Okay, I'm going to go download 500 gigabytes from Mega Dot whatever.
    2:45
    Lin, here's the thing. In a 4K cabinet, it doesn't look better than a 4K V-Pin. And I'll tell you why. because the 4K in this is not really 4K. It's really 2K.
    2:58
    This is the highest resolution I can get on this table. And you've got to imagine, it's a game from 2016, right? So they were upscaling past a certain year, but then we went past them, too far past them. So this looks a little... It doesn't look as good as most V-pins now.
    3:20
    Does that make sense? It looks okay. It looks fine. But not as sharp as some of the games that I can fire up right now. Super ultra sharp. Like the other night I was playing Cactus Canyon. Continued again. Super ultra sharp. It looks like... It's so sharp it's not even funny. But this is pretty decent.
    3:46
    And now I have... How do you do this? retro geek what's up geek don't you have a sound you have a sound right maybe maybe geek doesn't don't you have a sound do i owe you it still looks better than the yeah pin cab view and it has tables uh pivot view and has tables which is insane that we can run those on our cabs yeah it trust me it still looks really good knockout thank you for the tier one sub for eight months welcome to September. Thank you. I appreciate you. Always. Crazy. It's been eight months. Keep up the great work. Thank you. I'm going to try and keep up some work. We'll see if it's so great.
    4:28
    Man. I'm hoping next week. Oh my God. I can. There's only. How many of us are here? There's only. My thing says there's only ten of us here.
    4:39
    So if that's the case, I've got such a huge announcement. Hopefully next week for you guys. Holy smokes.
    4:47
    Holy smokes. Okay. Shh. Ah, it's 20. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. The fishbowl. No, the fishbowl. I didn't say that. I didn't say that at all.
    5:09
    Time Shock. It's a great game. We're going to play a little Time Shock. Here we go. And Time Shock.
    5:17
    Why does this thing not update? Nope. Anyway. Yeah, time shock. So let's play some time shock. Here we go. What's up, HCGen13? How are you?
    5:36
    So you guys got sound, right? Because Switch API is lagging. Oh, yeah. Twitch API sucks. This is... 100% honest. This is the first time...
    5:47
    This is the first time. What's up, Mr. Hard Look? And Paladin. Far from home. Time Shock was so ahead of its time. Yeah, it was.
    6:04
    This is one of the first times I ever turned on the stats on OBS. Because I always say, don't look at your viewer count. And I was messing around with OBS today, and I turned on the stats. because I had to update the Sammy Bridge. So the Sammy Bridge and the stats lay on top of each other. I don't know. Whatever I'm saying. But I was looking and it still says 10.
    6:24
    So if you don't look at your viewer account, you're better off because the number is wrong. The number is clearly wrong. Classic Radios, what's up?
    6:38
    Man who muted? No. I hope not. I got this on CD-ROM at Micro Center in the first decade of the 2000s, didn't I? Yeah, you did.
    6:49
    No Vice. I prefer that option. Vice free is best. No Vice. I prefer that option. Who's Vice? I suck at reading chat now.
    7:07
    I'm going to read it like Paladin wrote it. No Vice. I prefer that option Vice free is best Paladin Paladin Yo so one thing about this game is These skill shots Okay I just got 5 million points For a skill shot It's a little A little much for a skill shot, right? Don't you think?
    7:47
    Say It does Trust me, I'm not making fun of that song I am not making fun of that song That song is the freaking bomb I just got 10 million For another shot This game And I still can't break 300 million What's up Johnny? Evening man, I hope you're surviving the heatwave Yes Kindles, can we change that sound? You want to change your sound? I'll do it for free I'll do it If you want TimeShack also supports multiple displays In fact, it actually has a cabinet mode It does You really want to change it, Kindles?

    34:23
    Just say fix volume on gunshot. The ball got stuck. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Save replay.
    34:37
    Did you guys see that? So that was some VP trickery. That was some computer trickery. The ball got stuck and the game... Let's see if I caught it.
    34:55
    What? The ball's going to get stuck and it's going to shoot the ball out. What? What was that? No, I was opening Discord.
    35:10
    Look, look, look. Look at it again. Ball gets stuck. Then he goes... Like Rudy from friggin' Twilight Zone.
    35:25
    Just getting into the VPN stuff, and it's all strictly PC-based for now. Eventually would like to build an actual cabinet. I have yet to play on a cabinet with all the bells and whistles. Sounds like a blast. Tilted Spider. I have bells. I don't have whistles. There are people here who do actually have whistles.
    35:43
    I am strictly just bells. Shoot. Was that a terrible wall, too? Yes, that was a terrible wall, too. Well, no. I mean, I kind of gave it up because I was excited about the replay I wanted to get.
    36:00
    Bells, dogs, and ponies. I was excited about the replay that I was not getting. Okay, here we go. Lock ball three. Oh, that's ball two.
    36:15
    Alright, lock ball three. Can I start a mode before I lock ball three? See, that's the problem. I gotta learn how to start modes.
    36:23
    It's very clear. Let's see. Let's see if we can start a mode. Alright, I think I'm gonna take this, uh... Oh no! I think I might take... I think I might take this... ...lock here. Just for the heck of it. Nice back glass image in there.
    37:07
    Yeah, the pop bumper spit it out. It was very artificial looking. Oh, I just lost the freaking ball. Okay, give it back to me.
    37:37
    Oh! Alright, I still got two. Shia LaMama. Come here. It's hard to live catch on this thing. That's the only thing. Is that a jackpot? No. Shoot.
    38:03
    It's hard to live catch on this. what's up flip tronic damn it bad idea bad idea uh okay i didn't know pro pinball had a cabinet mode a lot of people don't astro Can I be in the I take a whistle over a stern squelch Jackpot's clear continents in the area you're in Wow Flipstream knows so much about this table The heck is this Fliptronic this is pro pinball Backhand Nope nope nope nope Give me my bonus Give me over a hundred Hey guys, it's all good. Manu quick question. I'm listening. being able equal ouch don't do no Jordan don't know don't do don't do that to me right now bro don't I didn't read you I didn't read your comment I didn't read something went wrong with twitch something went wrong with twitch I didn't read it Jordan I couldn't see what you just said I'm gonna play another game I'm not looking at the chat anybody else got something anybody else got some stuff to please ah Jordan it's a toss-up Damn, that's a hard one.
    40:20
    How about we do this? How about we... How about we do this? Flipstream, can you set up a poll? Can you set up a poll to help Jordan? I know Jordan asked me, but... If you would If the price was the same And a dude was like Hey, hey, psst, come here What is it, man? No, shut up and come here Come right here Yes, what do you want? I got two games for you I got Deadpool And I got Boobie Girl What is Booby Go? Shut up Elvira House of Horrors Well just say Elvira House of Horrors You don't have to be offensive Alright, alright, clearly, clearly I got both They both cost $5.99 bro You can only take one Which one will it be?
    41:35
    God damn Booby all right jordan jordan if you ask me only one has a sir miss live reference yes it does and that's deadpool jordan if you ask me i'm gonna say elvira because i have not gotten to flip elvira extensively shoot i'm going to say elvira but i am biased because i got to flip deadpool for quite a long time i absolutely love deadpool to have a game in the house and you know what's funny is it's that okay so you're talking lime and sheets versus um was it time was it tanio is that his name well he's just a coder he's not the designer The designer is Gomez.
    42:43
    So you're talking about a Lyman Sheets game versus a Gomez game. I have to lean a little towards Lyman. A little, because I'm such a huge fan of Lyman's games. But Deadpool kicks freaking butt.
    42:59
    God, that's a hard one, bro. I also feel like Elvira's Batman version 2.0. I feel like Elvira's Batman 66 2.0, because it's continuing Lyman's ridiculous risk-reward-like thing? More than Godzilla? No. Godzilla kind of beats them both.
    43:21
    But he didn't say Godzilla. Jordan's not asking about Godzilla. Jordan already has Godzilla. Jordan's asking about Elvira vs. Deadpool.
    43:36
    Man, this thing flips ridiculous all right in the pole it's in the pole oh oh it's oh there is a pole okay there's a flipstream did you add Godzilla to the friggin pole stream I'm not looking at the poll. Who's winning?
    44:04
    Did you put Hot Wheels in the poll? Maybe. Damn it. I'm never going to do a good game in here if I see. Let me see.
    44:15
    There's a lot of games in there, bro. All right. Elvira. Deadpool. Elvira at 48. 46. 40. Okay. Now Elvira's dropping. Godzilla is 36. This doesn't help Jordan at all. Anyway. I got Elvira Alesta for $7,800.
    44:30
    Oh, man. What condition is it in? Does the house work? Jordan, make sure the house works. Elvira and Godzilla tied.
    44:44
    Deadpool is $13,000. Double 07 is $7,000. A game that's not even out is $7,000. I sent there a lot of interrupted stop time moments in Elvira clips.
    45:00
    Are there a lot of... When? There's... Yeah, when... Have you owned an Elvira? I don't know when I owned an Elvira.
    45:15
    Here's the weird thing about it, right? Elvira and Deadpool both have very... I'm not going to say that. That's not true. I would say Deadpool has a very basic skill set. a rule set.
    45:27
    Deadpool's rule set is way more basic than Elvira's is. Okay? That being said, you could probably play Elvira for longer.
    45:40
    But... Oh, crap. Sorry, I almost forgot about this. But... That's just... It's too hard. Oh, crap! Yeah, this game has video modes, too. This is pretty cool. I wasn't going to make it. I got one more ship left.
    46:00
    I can make it. It's left, left, right, right, left, right, left, left, right, right? It's like TNG, right?
    46:11
    It's a very, it's a very, what do they call them? Magno save. Magno save. It's a very divisive, it's a very divisive question, Jordan. very divisive question that was an impressive uh flipper catch right there that was a very impressive flipper catch man moments of amazement um nope flipped early code versions and remember getting mildly annoyed yeah No, once again, when... Yeah, they fixed a lot of that.
    46:50
    Jordan, make sure that the house works. The house is the only mech on that game that will give you trouble is the house. Maybe sometimes the... The guy in the coffin.
    47:10
    Maybe sometimes the coffin on the side, but the house is the thing that always gives people trouble.
    47:16
    7 million for that shot? That seems ridiculous. Deadpool is more approachable. Deadpool definitely... Yeah, but... Flipstream, you know, it's Jordan. Jordan knows frigging stacks of games.
    47:34
    Right? Oh, that was wrong, but I'll take the mystery. Find the cow. Small points, thanks. Oh, crap. it's jordan jordan's gonna be able to get up there that's an impossible ramp there's no way that ball would have made it up that ramp on a real table all right here we go i love streaming this because it blows people's minds oh no jordan if you want this just go to um steam it's on steam it's probably really cheap by now and lynn lynn in denver was the one that helped me get my uh all my doff working shoot that sucked oh i hit the magma save by mistake but i'll take it oh that seemed like a pretty successful um run
    48:51
    i want to see if i can do warp damn it hey becca Nintendo Raimi Is this virtual? Yeah Uh oh, Becca's here Would you rather an Elvira House of Horror or use Primus? We have been having this debate For almost two hours Oh I missed IE What's up Carl? Neither are keepers so it's a push Damn Carl nobody's talking to you Carl, go away These are mortals playing pinball Not pinball gods Let us have our fun Love you, Carl Don't watch me play anything, Carl Carl, don't even watch me play like a phone pinball game $15 on Steam, there we go I wish they would have finished Big Race USA Yeah, that would have been cool Give me four LCD sterns No duplicate designers Yes, Becca We are mortal You want to play against Carl? You want to play against Carl, Becca?
    50:16
    Becca, you play against Carl with both hands Carl will play with one hand time shock windows xp service pack three minimum required i'm not saying i would do anything becca you know me i i'd be like i'd be like no i'm gonna sit this one out you guys yeah i'm too boring to do pinball olympics i don't do anything i'm crazy boring
    50:49
    I learned to flip like Carl though like calmly like just be calm just be like you know just Just be real calm
    51:05
    See how chill that is like there's no excitement you're not running around you're not being an idiot. You're just like hit a ramp
    51:14
    Hit another ramp Maybe Maybe Rush Godzilla beat a Stranger Things. Oh, that's your order? Wait, what?
    51:31
    Wait, wait, wait. Oh, okay. So that was the answer to Fliptronic's question. Top game right now, Carl. Top game right now. Any era.
    51:45
    From EMs all the way up until the last game that came out, which is... Which is... What's the last game that came out? Toy Story? Don't mention Toy Story. You don't have to talk about Toy Story.
    52:01
    Best rule set. Carl, go. Best rule set. Game. Go. I think everybody wants to hear this. and then i'll let you then i'll let you uh you know i'll let you live your life crap godzilla yeah that's kind of what i yeah i had just mentioned godzilla's uh rule set is stupid it's so good i need some of that keith elwynn juice you know what i mean like some of that rule magic. How do you get some of that rule magic?
    52:46
    I need some of that rule magic. Hit a flashing... Hit a... God diggity. I mean... I mean, if you're just going to be chill,
    52:57
    you know. Please don't juice Keith Owen. I won't. Becca's not calm ever. I would change Beatles to Elvira. That's about it. Rush, Godzilla, Stranger Things for sure I can't wait for the next pro pinball table It should be any year now TNA is basically our Beatles Yeah, I guess so Lethal Weapon 3 is the best pinball machine ever Oh, also Unreal Tournament Astro I think Unreal Tournament is the best pinball game I do like Unreal Tournament pinball I'm a fan I'm a big fan Oh thank you for the follow Bondo Blast I love that name What's the best commercial v-pin game? Commercial v-pin game Commercial V-Pin game Oh my god, you're going to get a lot of opinions here Oh, you're going to get a lot of opinions here This is a good game In this setup, it's even better But this is a good game I think this will have appeal to physical pinball players Astro, I think you're correct I would say FX3 or I would say FX3, yeah. The Zen Pinball FX3 community and their tables.
    54:43
    They could be a little bit brutal because they artificially, like in tournament mode, they artificially, they might as well be freaking, what's that game? Varkon? They're sloped so steep in tournament mode, they might as well be freaking pinball circus. but commercial yeah pinball effects and we should stop there if that's the if it's just we're talking commercial we should stop there if we're not talking commercial we have a whole different conversation I don't spend a lot of my time playing FX3 I spend a lot of my time playing other people's games on virtual pinball I did it
    55:44
    FX3 Tournament Yeah FX3 Tournament mode is great for making classic feel easier Best mode ever Shoot non-commercial is unreal tournament they're all terrible gay nice blouses time shock being blouses right mano being shirts
    56:25

Thank you. How are you? You have to use the inertia to get around. seriously this thing is on Steam I'm sure Barnstorm Games would love some more support for this even though I don't even know if they're a company anymore download it this is a desktop game but they do have a cabinet mode the virtual pinball community has jury rigged into Backlash, DMD and Playfield it's a little troublesome to get working Linen Denver is going to I guess give some stuff over to Nail Buster for Nail Buster's Wiki if you want to set it up on your cab I think that's a great idea once again thank you Lynn in Denver for helping me get this reset up and check it out it's really fun they just abandoned development on this so they're done with this but like Carl was asking what's a great commercial pinball game Time Shock I think and FX3 I'm not sure about the latest version of Pinball FX I think they still have stuff to work out and get going that's available I think only on Epic Store but Pinball FX 3 also is available on Steam and they have a lot of the Williams tables and stuff like that so you can play along with those that is it for me oh man I want to puke my way out of work No, you don't.
