And I got a 16 or something. So I'm going to go back and do this. Oh, yeah. I just fell below the bubble, so I got to go put in some more. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, man. It's good to have mine, right? I think so. But I have to, like, stream a bunch of shit, so I might not be able to. Yeah, whatever. All right. Yeah, thank you.
9:20
Let's look at this fathom really quick. Oh baby. Uh, Rolling Wonder, they covered it because the playfield's not in there.

There's a cool Xena. There's the Star Trek here, universe that this gentleman made. He actually rebuilt, he took apart this Star Trek and flipped it. Oh, what's going on, dude?
9:58
I'm streaming out to the interwebs. First person, I'm wearing the camera. It seems to work out pretty well.
10:08
I love it, dude. Oh, wow. That's beautiful. mean, we got more to show, guys, more to show, hold on, here we go, my arm's getting tired, so when we're done doing the tour, I'm going to shut down and set up on either Big Lebowski or full throttle, what would you guys like to see?
10:48
Either one would be good. Here's Marco's specialties booth. Rubbers and balls and all that fun stuff.
11:11
Lebowski? Alright, we'll stream Lebowski then. Lebowski it is. It's packed in here. We're gonna be playing more than one game, so maybe we'll stream Full Throttle after Lebowski. But as we do that, I gotta like shut down, set up, shut down, set up. Um, look at this freakin' beautiful creature from the black league in it, pretty hot, so here's the tournament area, where when I went to bed last night, I was third, but now I'm like 19th, so if I play one good game of like one of those EMs down there, I'll be back in it, but I don't know if I want to be competing and doing commentary at the same time, uh, because that would suck. Now, I'm going to be doing the, um, commentary for the finals, but we only have enough cameras for, like, two machines, and there are 12 games in this bank, so we're going to have to figure something out. Uh, that, I don't know that I missed anything, but I think that, I think that's it.

You and me have to play it. Yeah, we have to play it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, obviously. Obviously.
21:05
Damn, yeah. Cool. We're dropping a few frames right now on the internet because we're moving around so much, but once we post up, we'll be good.
21:37
Okay? Okay. It's just because we're moving around so much that it's... It's hard for it to keep up with us, I guess. If that makes sense. Give me a cap in chat if you know what the fuck I'm talking about. Donate to kids. It should have stabilized.
22:00
Oh, we'll get some people to play for sure. Remember, we also have full throttle over there to possibly show... I gotta put this damn thing down. Oh, it's killing my arms.

25:14
Yeah, I'm just going to have to drop the bit right down just a little bit. Good old drop frames, huh? Gotta love them.
26:23

26:44
They call me Dr. Love. You were there last year? Oh, okay. Well, we'll see. I'm gonna record this local also when I go live with Big Lebowski so that if the internet's crap, we can still get like a clean shot of what's going on.
29:14
The internet's being like super butts, but hopefully my hotspot will make it better. I'm like sweating profusely, I'm so damn hungover.
