TL;DR

Don't Panic Flip streams Tron Legacy Pro with technical difficulties and flipper malfunction.

Summary

A casual pinball streaming session from Don't Panic Flip playing Tron Legacy (Stern) Pro. The host deals with technical difficulties including a broken HDMI cable, camera issues, and a malfunctioning upper flipper on the Tron machine mid-stream, requiring troubleshooting and eventually switching to a different game (TNA or Jurassic Park). The stream is heavy on banter, music references, and community chat interaction with minimal substantive pinball industry analysis.

Key Claims

  • Tron Legacy is a flow-focused game that should suit flow players well, but the host struggles with it despite this

    medium confidence · Host's self-assessment during gameplay: 'I'm a flow player, so I should be great at it, but I'm just not.'

  • The host recently completed a three-book series called 'We Are Pinball Legion' in seven days

    high confidence · Direct statement: 'I read through the Babaverse, which was amazing. It was called We Are Pinball Legion, three books... It took me seven days to make it through the entire series.'

  • Tron Legacy upper flipper experienced a power issue during gameplay, making certain shots unplayable

    high confidence · Host diagnosed: 'If it keeps freezing on the left flipper, I'm guessing that's some sort of a power fluctuation issue.' Later: 'We lost the flipper. It's weird. It kind of felt like that upper left flipper. I was losing power on it.'

  • The host's good camera cable (mini HDMI to HDMI) died before this stream

    high confidence · Opening: 'The cable between my good camera and my computer died' and 'The mini HDMI to HDMI cable died. I don't know if it was the connector or what.'

Thank you. Hello, and welcome to the stream that was perfectly timed on the music there. Dice, good evening, y'all. How goes your social distancing? It's going well over here. Night will last forever.
5:08
We are playing pinball with Corona tonight. This kind of Corona. And, uh, yes, we're going black and white because the cable between my good camera and my computer died. In fact, I, uh... It's got potential. So, caveat, welcome to the stream. And welcome to the 1950s version of the stream, Overlays Excluded. Yes, yeah, yeah. Let me switch over, you guys can see the whole thing. But we... Anyway, I can't use my good camera. It sucks.
5:41
The mini HDMI to HDMI cable died. I don't know if it was the connector or what, but I tried it on the Playfield cam and it didn't work. and I probably spent a good half hour thinking that it was me doing something in OBS that was broken, but it's the cable. So, ordered a new one, won't be here until Saturday.

George, I'm worried about negative, wait, hold on. I'm worried about the beaver. I feel like I should get that from something earlier today, or maybe yesterday. I don't know, I don't understand why you'd be worried about the beaver. Is it something about, like, leave it to beaver? A bad cable? It's on, I, But Jedi, McPuffin, I feel like it's never the cable. Like, it's always something I did. I left some setting someplace. The camera, I feel like I'm pretty decent with it now. But I thought for a second maybe I had left it in some mode that didn't output video appropriately. So I played around with it for way too long. Except when it's DNS. Then it's always DNS. I remember the days of managing our own DNS server and how awful that was. On top of that, we managed our DNS server and our own exchange server, and that just meant that I was... You know what the difference is between you and me?
6:55
Welcome to the stream. I make this look good. Yes, black and white. I'm waiting for Dirty Toes to show up and give me crap about the black and white. We used to do black and white streams all the time, but I got too much crap for it. And then we got the nice camera, and all the lights in the back. But yeah, anyway, so can't use the cool camera. We're stuck with a crappy 920, either 920 or maybe 922 webcam, but lots of light. So the positive thing is we have lots of lighting. And I also think that whenever my computer is acting funky, it's because of something George did. Probably. Air connecting. What? Nightbot, I turned that off. That should not be running anymore. Uh, mbt3k, cool!
7:46
Slightly darker... Oh, that's why, air connecting, because somebody tried to use a command. Thank you, Caviel, for pointing out the shortcomings of others that is appreciated. I will get back there. In fact, I'm gonna stream working on it. So that way, you guys can totally be a part of the wonderful process of working on a project I haven't touched in a while. Exclamation point, Nightbot. So anyway, you guys, for everyone who is practicing social distancing, good on you. I'm already a beer in. This is beer number two, and it is Corona. Uh-oh. We said Corona. Just happy to help. Fix the dang server, George. Caviel, thank you.
8:31
Yeah. Woo! I don't know if you guys were watching Flippin' Out earlier, but Flippin' Out was definitely doing a music stream and how much they really like 90s music, so I feel like we're gonna keep that going and we're going to appreciate 90s music along with Flippin' Out Pinball today So to quote Randall I hope it feels so good to be right There's nothing more exhilarating than pointing out the shortcomings of others, is there? Yes your ruse, madam, your cunning attempt to trick me. Boom. I love clerks. And thank you, I didn't realize what I was quoting when I said that. So, it's Corona, so you're only like three-fourth... Well, the first beer actually would probably even last. Oh, you know what I didn't do is clean off the play field. Give me two seconds. I was rocking Weezer the entire time I took part in this play.
9:30
Um... I have no idea where my glass cleaner is. Ty, did I leave that over at your place along with everything else? I left beer over there, I left a cooler, my jacket. I left tons of stuff over at his place.
9:58
Alright, so... You see the hat? I am Mrs. Nesbitt! The Pinsomniac! Welcome to the stream! We're gonna try this without cleaner and just see if we can get the dust off.
10:13
Alright. That worked kind of okay. Good enough. Just use your sleeve. Eat it, eat it, eat it! Whoa, George lost all his color. I did. We're not using the good camera. Once again, if the quality seems good, it's because there's so many lights. I have a lot of lights right now. I've got one, two, three, four, five, six different lights, not including the ambient light behind me. Seven, eight, nine, ten, plus the pinball machines.
10:50
Oh, sorry. And that's what it looks like when your wife is upset that you did not shut the door, and you're being super loud and everybody in the whole house can hear you.
11:17
Dude, door! There you go. Smooch EZ Mo, thank you so much for joining us on stream. I imagine this is how George looked the morning after the drinking stream Dice, it was worse than this Imagine that, but blurry So cheesy mo hi Mrs. George Her name is Jessica, just in case you want to say hey I have a feeling this is going to be a night for great pinball. I don't know about you guys. Two beers in. I actually got a bunch of work done today. I don't technically have to go in tomorrow. They enabled the protocol of working from home, but I haven't been assigned a laptop yet for the job that I'm working in, so... I closed the... Oh my god!
12:19
There's a lot of text. It's door, door, dude, door! I missed out on quite a bit. Every night is a great night for Pimp, and she's not subscribed. You... well, we share the same Amazon account, so she would actually have to spend money. And I'm gonna put the hurt on you.
12:42
Lord Howard Hurts, welcome to the stream. And we do need a dude door emote, I feel like, at this point.
12:51
But I thought we gathered here to celebrate mediocrity. That is exactly what we're doing. Alright, here we go. First game, and what are we doing? We're gonna try this time to actually get to Portal. I know I've said many times that we have attempted to get to Portal, but this time is going to be different.
13:20
Let's see if we can hit this right orbit. What was that? Cavial gifted a tier one buff? Kabyall, let me take this hat. That is... that's a hat off Smoochizimo. Enjoy those emotes that Kabyall just bought you. That's awesome. And this time will be different. Exactly.
13:53
That was an interesting way to post-transfer it. Ha! I may have nudged that a little too hard. Gentlemen, behold! More corn! That one I didn't get, actually. I know, right, Caviel? That's how you want to do it. This is the solid beginnings here. Muchizimo has all of the emos. Oh my god. That sling triggered just enough. That's, alright, here we go. Someone never watched ATHF. I don't know ATHF. Oh, probably just THF, right?
15:03
I did not see THF. Or THS? I don't know what it was. Oh, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, I'm sorry. No, I did not see Aqua Teen Hunger Force, although I've heard it's something I have to watch.
15:27
Cool. Guys, we're just going to pretend like that entire first game did not happen. Right? Adult Swim TV show, yeah.
15:51
It's going to be one of these kind of days. That's my typical Tron game. I'm a flow player, so I should be great at it, but I'm just not. Meme title before meme titles were a thing. Jrocket, welcome to the stream. This is going swimmingly. We're going to have to find some jobs here.
16:28
I kind of thought that was going to hit the other side. We're going to try, I feel like, something here.
16:50
All right. Right orbit. It's a loop-de-loop. Totally worked. Woo! Alright, we've got light cycle lit.
17:13
And we'll just luckily bounce into that. There we go. That's all we needed. We got a gem shot out of that. Alright, I mean, that wasn't nothing, it just wasn't great.
17:58
Uh, what do we need? We need more Quora. Alright. Oh, no you don't! Alright. Had to use the good HDMI cable for the remote Tilt-Bob stream. Yeah, if I had a camera, if I had access to both my cameras, we would have a camera on the Tilt-Bob. I have a feeling this is going to be a great night for Pinball Church 2020, if the corona flew. At least it's not the Lime White Club.
18:39
Do you have a dry cough, low-grade fever, or desire to drink watery beers from Mexico that need citrus flavors added for optimal enjoyment? I like it. Yes, I do. I like it.
18:54
All right. There's another gem shot. Here we go. We've lit Cora over here. Wow. Thank you. Hit the shot. We're in Cora.
19:57
Alright, I mean, we're kinda doing something here. Okay, so to complete this mode, I think you actually want to hit Quora. I would love it if we could snag a gem shot out of this. I'll take it, I'll take it. Ha! That was cool. I'll take that as well.
20:39
Uh, can we keep hitting Quora here? Uh, the Corona Refreshers are quite good if you like your beers that taste like tropical fruits and diabetes. Um, hey! Hit new GC! I hope you brought enough libations for everybody. Is there a name for that? What GC? Oh, George, as a big Lebowski fan, you can absolutely skip the Jesus rolls. It made me sad. Okay, cool. I didn't know how you could make a movie about a guy with a...
21:09
Sorry, he did... What is it? Two six-year-olds or something like that, right? Like, how do you make a show about a main character who... I'm assuming you have to somehow empathize or sympathize with at some point, but they were child molesters.
21:36
That sucks. All right, so Quora, we've got Gem. We did not finish anything. All right. Ball three rolled around, and we actually figured out how to play at least a little bit of pinball. We've got more work. Nice! 379 on JP. excellent job, Jack uh Peter asked 8 year old, thank you, yes uh, pedo topics quality discussion content here on TPF tonight I was thinking at some point we're gonna have to pause and we can talk about a new book series that somebody at Pinmasters suggested I read and I don't remember who it was um, but I ended up reading the first book and I got hooked and I finished all three books in the series this week, so it was really good.
22:56
So we're going to full plunge. We'll go ahead and grab that free shot. Alright. We grabbed the free shot for Light Cycle on the right orbit. Now we're going to go Quora. Totally went Quora. Wow This game is just being evil tonight Uh was it Was it about Not sure About pedophiles Not sure you made the logic leak there Was it Shudder Yeah Was the show about About that guy and his Like I guess shenanigans I just had no interest honestly in watching it I mean, everything is my fault, I guess, while I'm playing this, but I feel like...
23:55
The game is kind of just being a jerk right now. Try fighting for the users. Alright, I'm doing it. I'm fighting for the users. Come on, give me something there. one of our... that's one of our three ways.
24:52
Will it give me it? No, there was no way it was going to give me that as a part of the life cycle multiball, but you do need to do two of those, basically. Two three-way combos. Alright, so there's our first clue Let's see if we can grab another There's one
25:29
Right orbit it. Darn it, we gotta hit this right or left orbit. Got it. Not what I mean to be doing.
26:00
It's ball three, I guess, at this point, where we actually make an effort. No, he got out of prison for a non-diddling-related crime, and it's a road trip movie where he just has sex with people.
26:19
I'm sure that helps him through working through those issues. Jesus. Yeah. Ahem. Conversation and gameplay have both, uh, have gone down earlier. Oh, gimme the gem shot! It's the bad movie. Yep, that's what it sounds like.
27:04
Alright, uh, left ramp. Totally got it. It really feels like this game really punishes you for missing a shot.
27:21
And it doesn't just feel that way, it honestly does. Alright, so we can initiate Clue. I kind of want to initiate Clue, though, after or with Light Cycle.
27:46
That's not good. Left orbit. There we go. Alright. And, hey, is that Chris Hansen crouching behind TNA?
28:10
From the Hansen Brothers? Because the Hansen Brothers had a popular song at the same time that Third Eye Blind did?
28:19
If anything, you should be drinking Corona Teens tonight. I have a aviation gin mix that could get the Chris Hansen thing over my head, apparently.
28:31
That did not really go anywhere. All right. There we go. Got a gem shot. All right. There we go. We're going to get into some Quora.
29:31
All right, so we've got our add-a-ball, which was very nice. That was just mean. We got another ball added.
30:19
All right, let's see if we can trap up here, maybe take some shots. We did beat Quora. I will take that. I will take Quora as beaten.
30:52
From catch to predator. Wait, what? Woosh? I'm pretty sure we've had this conversation before. That's another show that George never saw. I figured he would have done his homework between streams. He told us he's been reading instead. See, hashtag general. Oh, that's why my phone is buzzing like crazy right now. Okay, cool. So we've beaten... Oh, crap. Are we in?
31:13
Wait, six shots to start disco multiball? Shoot right in her loop Follow Jen Here we go, now we need to get into the recognizer. There we go.
32:05
Three more. Two more. One more. Oh, that sucked. What ball was that? Was that ball three? Was that ball two?
32:28
It's all this angst rock impacting George's game. Need to change to Daft Punk or something. Caviel, you may be on to something there. Let's take a second. Let's switch this up.
32:41
Pink Ninja Man, welcome to the stream. Do we go Magic Sword? Or do we do Daft Punk? I'm thinking Magic Sword to start, at least.
32:59
How long until he starts yelling at the game that it's not his real dad? I learned it by watching you!
33:07
Alright, we're doing this. Let's see here. There's the classic drug PSA line. let's see if we can scrip and move in this alright we're cool we're cool we're fine we're all good here I'll take that and oh what was that oh that's a whatever her name is alright so we need to complete this by hitting the crap out of those shots And there two Let just hit that a bunch If we can hit the uh
33:56
If we can hit the super... oh no. Which is fine! Alright, so we just need to keep hitting the recognizer one more, and then it's three shots on the thing that comes up, and then one to actually get the super jackpot and complete this mode.
34:58
I think we got the super! Super! That is not good! Oh, come on! Ugh. And anti-indecent exposure would have been much... Wait. I gotta go back. This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs. Nothing to me will ever beat Pee Wee Herman telling me about crack. I don't remember Pee Wee Herman talking about crack ever.
35:29
Too... I can't believe I just did that. There goes my attempted scene. We're going to get back there.
35:54
No, we don't care about matching. We need a Pee Wee Herman left. I can't do it, sorry. We do have an Eddie Murphy laugh.
36:37
Left ramp. Apparently, calling it is not helping. Woo! We have not... This is... What's funny is, before I got Tron, this is exactly the kind of games I would have all the time. And apparently, still continue having.
37:16
Left ram. Come on. There we go. We've got a life cycle! And that's a backflip. I know you are, but what am I? I can't see the Pee Wee Herman voice, apparently.
38:02
Wow, is that going to go all the way around, maybe? Gem shot? Nope. But we do have a Quora. Oh my god.
38:25
What? Just, like, struggling a lot. Pim Stadium, welcome to the stream. I think I owe you some info on, uh, on what it is I actually need to order. So, uh, oh, wait a second. I need to, I need to hit clue here. I'm on a timer.
38:56
Hit. And, nope, apparently I have all the time in the world. Um... Ah, yeah. So, fix the servers, 2020. The lap wasn't far off. You should give yourself more credit.
39:14
Oh, the playfield is frozen! How could I even pop... I don't even have the good camera on right now. That's ridiculous.
39:26
Property. Alright, just one sec here. No, cancel. that is definitely not it. Incoming black- No, no, no, I did it without the black screen.
39:44
And you can just email it to me later, and yes, yeah, I'll get you the info. Hey, there we go. Purposeful gem shot. Anyone who's that different obviously doesn't know my style of play. Here we go, and...
40:38
Whatever. Yep, like I said, this was going to be it. Jedi McMuffin just redeemed 10 pushups. Thank you.
41:02
That is exactly what I think we need here. Alright, alright. There's an end of the line jackpot. We're going to get a Rinsler. Whatever.
41:21
Ten push-ups it is! That's what's going... The playfield froze again! Are both cables no longer functioning?
41:41
Alright, incoming black screen. Yeah, I got nothing. Suddenly, and it's always when the left flipper's up. That to me says it has to be some sort of a power issue. I wonder if I should get a UPS and feed everything through the UPS. I'm going to do my ten push-ups. One sec. Oh, jeez. One, two, three, four, five, six. 7, 8, 9, 10. Ugh.
42:27
Alright. Are you bumping the... No, no, I'm not bumping it. The camera... The camera's over here. Do you ever use studio mode when you go to fix broken... I do not.
42:44
No, I always found that studio mode ends up destroying the frame rate. Like, it kills your CPU. I was trying to sneak that gem shot.
43:09
Alright, here we go. Alright, game. I've had just about enough. Camling 4K freezes a lot. And that's pinball. I wouldn't have agreed with you until about a week ago. I've been using this, and this is the 4K I've been using for a year and a half, I think, and it just started freaking out somewhat recently.
43:48
Um... Light cycle is lit. There we go. You have chosen to die. just can't Grrr Alright, so We wasted Zeus Darn it I guess we can start working on Quora and Light Cycle And Gem
45:13
Well, that worked out well. TNK, welcome to the stream! Oh, jeez. And somehow, I wasn't even paying attention, we had started Clue. Is that going to go all the way? Yeah, that is.
45:43
Whatever, I'll take that. I will always take a free gem. And... Ha! Uh, I should say, mine does if my laptop woke from sleep. If I'm on a clean boot, my 4K is solid. And I even went through and did a clean boot on it as well. You wasted deuce. Sounds like a Greek mythology version of GTA. Like, dude, I wasted deuce. Just walked right in.
46:36
I gotta say, the music's kind of on point. Player cam black and white. Yeah, C&K lost, uh, one of my cables down, and apparently I've got some sort of a power issue. Because you're, whoever, if it keeps freezing on the left flipper, I'm guessing that's some sort of a power fluctuation issue.
47:03
Still shot, what's it going to give us? All right, Quora. Let's do this. Just inaccurate right now. I've got to find these shots here. Didn't know you could backhand that.
47:53
There we go. We got a light cycle. So in this mode you want to do two three-way combos. I will take that, apparently.
48:39
I will take that gem shot. Our cameras are still working. Alright, we're cool. We're cool. and it must be a malleable logarithmic pacing issue. The two main spurving pairings misaligned with the kinematic band.
49:18
That sounds way too cool to be possible. Everything's under control. Situation normal. We're all fine here. Thank you. How are you? I love that sound, too. mbt3 game thanks for sending me that
50:07
Thank you. How many more shots do we have to start that multivolts? Wow. And. Here we go. Recognizer.
51:07
So we just want to hit the hell out of the recognizer. Go restart multiball. Oh! Well, we lost the flipper.
51:31
It's weird. It kind of felt like that upper left flipper. I was losing power on it. And we were running into issues with the camera dying. Give me a Diablo sandwich and a Dr. Pepper and hurry it up, I'm in a GD hurry. Music change, you're doing much better now. Friends don't let friends listen to angry rock. Uh, you can't play this game without the top slipper. flipper. Uuugh! Do we switch out games? I mean, I have this kinda set up to where I could just flip over to a different game?
52:31
Hmph! Reboot it and pray? It would make sense if someone had watched Smokey and the Bandit, but Stitch, welcome to the stream! The joy of owning a pinball. machine. Do I try and do this without the upper flipper?
53:12
I am really trying to hit the hell out of that ball up top there. Neil, did you turn it off? No, I did not turn it off. I opened the door and that drained the balls.
53:42
Thank you. I am... that sucks. Heh. Uh, alright, so we need gem, but we can't use the upper flipper, so we're gonna have to bank it. A little bit more.
54:42
A little bit more. A little bit less. Oh, black and white. Loco Eduardo. I'm getting emotional just looking at it. Should have coined or ball save equals on. I saw on Facebook that your interest is peak when it's Hot Wheels showing up in the collection. I just said it was peak. I am not buying it.
55:19
All right, so we've got light cycle lit. nope yeah no upper flipper makes that Just a little bit harder to do things like hit gems. How many balls is it going to give me? I feel like that is a lot.
56:21
What do we need? We need gems. We've got to figure, I think it's between the R and the O. Oh. Close.
56:52
No, way too early. Way too early. Okay. It's all in the wrist. Just tap it in. If it's the same as Lord of the Rings, that's standard adjustment 42. Coin door ball save. Counting with or without ball save. Hardest Shot in Pinball Go. Just want to see if you actually think it's the scoop on World Cup Soccer. No. Hardest Shot in Pinball is definitely the scoop on World Cup Soccer, but banking the gem shot off of the Tron targets, I mean, that's got to be up there, right?
57:44
And let's see what happens. If it's something really, really easy, maybe. Maybe. All right. Somebody just did something.
58:18
Right, TechStream, Hype, Loco Eduardo. Dice, thank you for gifting a tier 1 sub to Loco Eduardo. A 32 total subs. That is a hat's off. Let's see what we can do about this flipper, though.
58:51
So I can pull this out and we can start a game. That's going up there. I kinda... I kinda wanna touch that just to see if that's the issue, but... Cappy, I'll thank you for the reminder to turn the machine off. Playfield class... Nah, it's only voltage. Yeah, thank you.
59:48
I need a... Hold on. I just... I don't know if it's the... If it's this... So that is that one. That one should do it. Okay, so it's probably getting voltage.
60:12
Ugh. You know what? Nope. Lifting playfield with power, shorted connections at a bad time. Yep, yep, yep.
60:31
See, I feel like the easy fix would have been like the flipper button had become misaligned with those leaf switches. That was not the case. It looked like it was fine. So I am not going to do anything else about that. Uh-oh. Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mulfin.
61:09
Are you cheating? No. Nope. Have you tried turning it off and on? No, you're right, I probably should do that.
61:30
Give it a sec, and... Off and on. Did not bring it back. What time is it? 11.30! You have a case of the missing tilt bob. Every game. If you try turning it off and on again.
62:02
So, I guess we could move the game. Like, that's the next thing. Eh. What else are we doing? We're gonna move it.
62:19
By the way, these are Pinstadium Extremes. Wonderful for streaming. Yeah, exactly. I'm willing to bet a wire fell off or something, which is funny.
62:32
I feel like it's lift the playfield. We can fix it. We can talk about our feelings. Loco Eduardo, I like that. Let's do that.
62:44
Actually, in the meantime, we can talk about the fact that I read through the Babaverse, which was amazing. It was called We Are Legion, three books. I could not put them down. Several nights this week. where I was reading until after 4 a.m.
63:07
Last week, I should say. Sorry, it's Monday. I finished it yesterday. No, I finished the third book today.
63:15
So it took me seven days to make it through the entire series. It was really good. I feel like when I make it through a series that quick, it's a pretty dang good game.
63:30
We're cool. Boom! We've got a boom mic! Alright, here we go. And comic book fans, read Old Man Logan, amazing! Loco Eduardo! I have all, uh, not the Old Man Logan, I have the Logan origin story, I guess? The first part of the seven, the first seven comic books, I think, in that series? Yeah, I was a fan.
64:30
Still am a fan. I still collect comic books. A lot. Sorry, I'm finished. I forgot to remove the cable before I lifted up the pinball machine. Whoa.
64:51
We're cool. There we go Fine, we're all fine here And speaking about comic books Uh, I checked out Lock and Key on Netflix, and that was really solid. I don't know if anybody else has checked that out yet.
65:42
Alright, so... I know, right? Yeah, this is super cool. Strange Things of Foot and Circle K. I hated that movie. Watching a sickly superhero was...
65:55
I liked the movie, though. I really did. You finished that Lock and Key? I'm on the last episode, Finsomniac. I haven't been able to watch it because my wife talked me into starting The Witcher. By the way, are we playing Jurassic Park or TNA?
66:11
Dump that Tron! I just gotta fix the flipper. I got all new rubbers coming in. I'm happy that we found the TNA, huh? And JP.
66:23
What do we got? We got one for one right now. I'm back now that my internet took a giant dump on me. Thanks, coronavirus.
66:31
Alright, so we got two for TNA. Loco, I don't have a roller games. Go TNA. Do JP tomorrow. Alright, so we've got, I think, three or four for TNA. Use the poll.
66:47
We're at 50-50 votes. Two to one. Three to one TNA. Alright. This is fun! Huh Kinda weird Normally I don have to hold up the edges but what else I guess I do what I want
67:41
What happens on the bike is what you commit to. What's up, Pelican family? Welcome to this 20-minute podcast. To the hills. Don't stop here, Pelican. Remember why you started. And... Doing the thing Alright Cool, we're getting there We're getting there, guys 4-1 TNA Alright We're getting there
68:50
And... Now you guys get to see all the fun setup. Whoa, the back box sliding past the camera was such a pseudo-3D effect.
69:22
How do I get rid of the voting thing? Oh, there we go. So, black and white. Why, C&K, I lost my... One of my cables died for my good camera.
69:40
Alright, you're also going to have to hang with me while I kind of dial this in here. Actually, not that bad.
70:03
I'm going to have to zoom that camera out just a hair. Then we're going to come here. We're going to turn that gain all the way down. Let's pump up that saturation.
70:31
Put the brightness back up just a hair. Okay, maybe a little bit more than a hair. Okay. Now the question becomes, are we level?
70:50
I am really surprised that came together so quickly. That doesn't look awful. I think George has been hanging out with Ty too much with everything he's breaking. You're not wrong. And OldSchoolGamerMama, welcome to the stream. Oh, sorry, camera's here. I'm looking down there. Camera's there now. It's weird. All right. But now we have good music coming from a game.
71:24
And reel-to-reel for the room camera. Okay. I mean, can you guys see everything? Do we have everything here. We have flippers, we have sound. I kinda, I wish I, I wish I knew where my glass cleaner was.
71:59
No such luck on the glass cleaner. Blow that all off. There we go. Close enough. Get us a beer while you're... Oh, that is a really good idea. Where's my beer?
72:14
Anybody else enjoying their time on Corona? And crunk them. Okay, cool. I guess we're good enough. Yeah. Guys, give me two seconds here. I'm going to go grab another beer. Drinking an amp. Okay. It seems kind of late, the Stitch. I'm assuming you have a late night ahead of you. I'm going to go drop this beer off, grab another, I will be right back
73:08
Beer gotten. Here we go. A pair of peaches. Imperial hazy Indian pale ale with pears and peaches. What percentage is this?
73:46
Uh, 9%. Not a good choice. Woo! Alright, let's go back here. And let's kick some pinball booty, I guess.
74:05
A pair of peaches, exactly. Alright. Solid start. Okay. Yep. Okay, we're going to find that this game plays very differently from every other game you've played.
74:49
There's the ball lock. All right, now we're in multiball, and we want to complete our pad. Looks like maybe three more shots.
75:13
Two more shots. That was a really awful multiball. Alright, I kind of wanted to keep it on that side, but... Let's see if we can hit this. It's kind of a... It's a tough crossover. All right. Sounds... it is super tasty. It has got a lot of flavor and it's an IPA. Hold on. Yeah. I played a few of these and never seen the ball lock that green. That's because I have special plastic on here. The Stitch, good job detecting it. You'll notice there's green highlights on everything. I replaced the clear plastic with etched green plastic.
76:19
Yeah! Alright. Backspin. All right, so we've got our reactor on line. All right, cool, cool, cool, cool. We're fine, we're fine. Let's just all trap up over there.
77:03
Let's see here. So now we've got to overheat the top, And we can get there by hitting whichever orbit is lit pink. They're both lit pink, so I just have to hit one of them. Let's see if we can cradle separate here.
77:19
That works. That sucks. That's even worse. All right, left orbit. All right, second reactor. Trying to hit that third. That sucks. There's one. And let's go ahead and just hit that. I'm gonna let that drain. We've got three seconds of balls, Dave. Use that to plunge up top. That would have been awesome if that actually worked. And I guess let's start working our way to multi ball. Don't break the top... the stitch. I'm trying not to. I'm actively working on not breaking the top flipper. It sucks when it uses your ball save because of a bad, uh, scoop down the middle. Eh, but whatever. Uh, the sounds take me back into the arcade. Yeah, this, this game I feel like is all about nostalgia. That is fine. Let's plunge up. Way too hard. Jeez, that is just That's just bad. That's bad pony owning. See if we can trap it that way. Totally works. All right, this is silly.
80:04
There we go. Let's try that again, shall we? There we go. Nonsense, Poopypants! I have the soundtrack of this game on cassette.
80:21
It is a very good soundtrack. Grrr. Alright. Left orbit. Ah! Here we go. Get it, get it, get it. Yes. That is such BS. I hate it when it does that.
81:24
Uh, can't play it on the 8-track in my car, though. No, unfortunately. Man, how awesome would that be if they, uh, if they released it in 8-track format? Alright, here we go. We're going to try something here. What I like to call, if you guys are familiar with shatzing, which is where you hit it from one flipper up the other side. Now that's a really tough shot to do. What I want to do is what I refer to as shatzing the bed, which is where you don't quite shat. Instead you hit this lower corner and bank it into that destroy. I can't believe that gave me a ball save. I didn't deserve the ball save, but that is quite literally sassing the bed. I'm just happy we actually did it Because I was really not expecting to do that.
82:28
Thank you, this bitch. Alright, let's do this for real now. Shall we? Nope. Ball lock. Give me the ball, Tay.
82:54
Man, struggling to gain control of this ball. There's a cross. This game, every once in a while, really likes me. But the majority of the time, it can't stand me.
83:24
Like that. Cool. Cool, cool, cool. Oh. Ah! Nope, nope, nope, nope. Wow. And... Trying to hit that left scoop. I shouldn't.
84:28
Nope, nope. We're just going to drink some more beer. I'd be happy that we're playing pinball instead of working. Or sleeping. I could be sleeping right now.
84:41
That! Yeah, that's pretty much it. Pinball or sleeping, right? There we go, ball locked, come on. Ball locked. Catching the bed. Take a pro!
85:42
Here we go! So, when you destroy a reactor, you actually get a small ball save, a three second ball save. So, knowing that, I very quickly hit that destroy to try and bring the ball back.
86:18
Neil and Caviel, thank you so much for clipping Shadzing the Bed. Hopefully you didn't get the ten seconds afterwards.
86:28
Oh, we're going to get a mystery here. One more shot on the grid. Outer Spacey Tracy, welcome to the stream. Keep it rolling, keep it rolling.
87:32
That sucked. And... I guess I can't... You are so well prepared for that! Oh, I totally did, that's what made it click for me.
88:03
What ball was that? Is that ball three? Hey, are you at... Yes, I am in black and white. We've had some technical issues tonight.
88:13
I'm just going to leave it there. Give me that back. There we go. And. All the way around. There we go. And.
89:14
There we go. And a ball lock. I will take it. There we go. He's not in black and white, I kid. He's got a dead cable. He broke her on earlier. Violent tilt. Whole side of the cabinet fell off.
89:39
Outer spacey Tracy, that is not what happened. I think the cabinet... That was really stupid. I had control of the ball. There was no reason to flip.
90:02
That was mean. All right. There's one. Woo! Alright, we're ready for an extra ball here.
90:35
Reactor start and an extra ball. Time for a quick sip of beer. All right, we need a multiball. That was mean.
91:28
That was also a dirty shot up the... the loft. I could be going after the destroys right now. This is stupid!
91:52
That was stupid. Woo! There's three. Pretty weak, honestly. All right, so we've got a lot of the grid to work on here.
92:43
Got it! Alright, here we go. Reactor unlocked. Reactor got him. Woo! Alright, alright. Now we got a little bit different music, liking that. Uh, let's see here. Oh my god, that's a good RIP, I like that. I expect two free streams as compensation for tonight now, George. Alright, alright, I already owed a free stream, I feel like. StreamersGwizzlebot. That is a really cool name. I feel like every pinball player says to themselves, I shouldn't be taking this shot right now, this is stupid. Thank you, MPT3K, you can sympathize with my issue.
93:58
That was gold right there, a little under... Over! No! No! Alright, we're cool, we're cool, we're fine, we're doing things. Why does this game hate me?
94:51
Whoo! We got the D, the R, and the destroy. We are nowhere close to multiball right now. And Arzu! Welcome to the stream! But yeah, you can just be a butt about- wait, what? I'm on my phone, it's limited what I can do!
95:10
Neil, what channel is that from? Click on it for info! That's how he was being a butt. Alright, I'm gonna have to do the same thing and go for multiball!
95:31
Nice. There's a ball locked, all right. Don't tilt. Please don't tilt. Oh, come on! How do you tilt after that many seconds? AHHHHH! COME ON! HOW DO YOU TILT AFTER THAT MANY SECONDS?
96:32
It's cool. It's cool. We're fine. Welcome to the future. I hate soap ups. up even once in Chicago. How did you do that? What a nemesis indeed.
97:10
Need an ear plug on that. All right, all right, we're cool. Start the reactor. Oh, my God. There goes Vault 2. Time for the crazy lock.
98:30
There we go. That is the smarter thing to do. Just like that. Obviously. That was super intentional. George throws a tilt tantrum. A tiltrum? Tilt tantrum? Yeah. Thank you, FBT3K.
99:06
Backspin. Thank you. Reactor was successfully destroyed. Now we work on the grid. One more shot. Totally got the shot.
99:54
Thank you. Alright. Ha! That clip was just as funny as seconds. Did I throw that big of a fit? That's crazy.
100:24
Alright, two destroys, one there and there. That was BS. Too much. Nope, just perfect. Alright, so let's go for the destroy over there.
100:58
That didn't work. Now that we're on this side, do we try to shaft the bed again? whatever I take it I take it I happy I happy Alright now we need to get back into multivolent so that way we can defeat the grid.
101:23
Because that grid is evil. I'll take it Woo There's a ball lock You ran over to JP for moral support
102:08
Clap your hands if you feel like a room without a roof. MPT3K, I do not get that. Even a little bit.
102:38
One more. really wanted that to happen alright we got an extra ball All right. We got a mystery out of that.
103:56
Come on. Get up there. Of course that's ball three Every ball three is a good ball three The nice thing is Tron theme still kind of fits for TNA You're not wrong
104:48
There it is. Backspin. Woo! Alright, alright, we're doing the thing. There's another ball Lock That sucks Here we go That's fine And it's just the Rad Target!
105:50
Looks like we just need the A! We got this! God! Yes! Give me them all back. Give me, give me. Give me the shot!
106:49
Alright, so we gotta hit that three times. We're gonna get those back. We're gonna get both of those back.
107:04
There's one. Darn it. Two more shots and it got dangerous. Pushing the buttons, doing the things, blink at the lights and beeps. All good things.
107:34
I could not get the flipper to flip! Alright, what time is it? Oh, we got time! We have all the time.
107:45
I love TNA. Like, this is... It's such a good game. Such a well-designed, developed... It's difficult, while at the same time, very digestible in terms of rules. It sounds great. It looks great. Yeah, thank you. Walk the plank. I like that. I think I'm going to take that, Kevio.
108:33
3 2 1 2 1 3 1 2 3 GAH 2 3 2 That was it. That was the shot. I was like, I shouldn't take that shot. But what? It's one shot. It's one shot. Don't go for the lock.
109:19
Trap him. Too hard. Nope. We got nothing. Alright, alright. No reason to freak out here. Woo! I love DNA. Yes, I'm being cocked.
110:02
Whatever. That was an awful game. And by time, I mean we have a lot of time, right? Especially with crappy games like that.
110:24
Alright, here we go. Let's see if we can do this cool lock shot. Nope. Apparently we cannot. We're doing fine. We're fine here.
111:02
Saxton, thank you. Uh, narrator, he could not make this shot. Two more shots. One more shot. And I got it.
112:02
Okay, we're fine. We're all fine here. We're cool. Get up there. One more try at that backhand.
112:50
Oh, wow. That was awful. I guess we're going forehand. Woo! Forehand it is! There we go. Uh-oh. And... Tilt Bob is moving again.
113:22
We're just gonna give it a sec. There's no reason to rush things, right? We can take our time and enjoy this. Did you know there's a sanctioned VPX for this? Uh, that's interesting. MPT3Gay, did you know that there was a VPX for TNA? and chats the bed and let's try it again oh
114:10
That's fine, we're gonna work on our multiballs. Let me give that a sec. Uh, yeah, I'm not sure how sanctioned it is.
114:40
Woo! I wasn't even ready. I needed to move the white dot over there. Oh, sorry. Apparently I'm not supposed to hit that.
115:06
Alright, ball two. Let's see if we can do this cool thing. Heh, that was super cool. Oh, daddy. Nobody makes me bleed my own blood. Nobody. Hey, welcome to the stream. That was obviously perfect timing. High five.
115:28
I really do want to figure out how to time this. One more shot. Wow. Wow, we are really struggling on Reactor 2 right now.
116:52
Alright, let's see if we can hit this first one right there. Nope. Alright, let's see if we can catch this and shat the bed.
117:20
Hey, thank you very much for that, host. Alright, shat the bed it is. Round number two. Let's try that again.
117:34
I mean, I guess that works. Give me that back. That is not gonna come back. That took way too long. ScottD was originally going to give the code to the VPX builders to make the table. That was a long time ago and I'm thinking that idea has fizzled. Yeah, that's too bad, because that would have been cool. And it's not quite 1230. We've got time. We've got time! There it is! Secret skill shot! 100,000! That's actually... What is going on there?
118:15
Whatever, I do what I want. Cool. Alright, whatever. Whatever. At the end of the day, we got it, and it's not ball two, right?
118:34
Oh All right, one more shot. All right. I'll take that. And a reactor star. That was rad. Yeah, Faye, did you stream tonight?
119:42
And if you did, what did you stream? I will take that. Ah, another opportunity to chat the bed. Whatever. You know, what works, works. Okay.
120:17
There we go. and I did not. Mrs. Faye and I took it easy. Lazy night. I get that, man. I had one of those last night.
120:50
I will take that ball lock. I need to get better about not letting ball plunges get away from me. Two.
121:08
One, two, three. Four, five. Four, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
121:30
Get in there. Alright, we're fine. All right, you can not backhand the destroy. Destroy. Obviously. Super obvious.
122:30
Let's see here. Where's my Nitro Ground Shaker, new rubbers, and flipper rebuilds order? Shopping it this week.
122:50
Woo! And what's the furthest reactor you've destroyed, George? I started the seventh reactor. That is my best so far.
123:20
One more shot! Alright, let's see if we can get this shot. We got our extra ball. I'll take that.
123:59
I love it when we get new music! AHH! Alright, left or left orbit. There we go. All right, can we hit the R?
124:58
We can. All right. Woo, there goes number three. And. There we go. Locks are lit again. There's a ball lock.
125:37
All of that. I start to drop and ball down the middle. Does the table remind anyone else of that old Gottlieb arcade game, Reactor? I don't know that one. Well, that's great. planning on moving this one along once you beat 9. Yes. I don't know. I no longer say a game is bolted to the ground. We don't say that. Never anymore do we say that. At the same time, I really like this game.
126:07
I've put quite a few games on it, and I still really enjoy it. And there's a lot of room for growth. Also, I feel like this game, more than most others, allows you to kind of judge how you're playing as a pinball player.
126:41
That sucks. I mean, we had a lot of those to go through. Let's see. Maybe Mystery will relight our locks.
127:09
Or not. or we can just start working on locked. Ah! Alright, alright. This and the beetles are... The pinball bouncing around the reactor up top... Wait. Oh, got it. There is something that is consistent with the other game you were talking about.
127:40
Ball lock. There's another ball lock. I will take that extra ten seconds of ball save any day of the week.
128:08
Oh, my God. Ah, there goes ball two. All right, we need to step this up. All right, don't do that again. Ball fade.
128:25
Game play. Another one. Two. Woo, all right. Ball fade. Woo! Here we go! Woo! Alright, alright, there goes four. Four. Woo! Alright This and the Beatles are very fun
130:52
Wow Thank you, thank you, thank you Woo Oh, what are you going to give me? Okay. I will take that. I'll take that all the time.
131:42
Oh, my God. Ah! Ha-ha! Eh, it happened. Uh, last person to do something was Faye. Uh, Player 1, I think we have a speedrun on Reactor 4.
132:07
You guys, and EthanATX, welcome to the stream. I'm sorry, we are headed out right now. uh poor timing I'm sorry man but uh that was an interesting night uh cable that wasn't working uh a flipper that died a whole new pinball machine kind of rotated in if this wasn't an exciting evening for you I don't know what would end up doing that Trana yeah it was fun uh and ended up actually playing some anytime I feel like I for me at least if I hit reactor four I'm playing okay. Of course, I want to hit Reactor 9 one day. One day. Anyway, you guys, thank you, FPT3K. Have a wonderful evening. Back on tomorrow, hoping maybe to get that replacement cable. And then tomorrow is Jurassic Park. We're going to go for the big ones. We're going to try and actually get organically through the game to the wizard mode and the final wizard mode. That's the, at least the initial goal on that one. Anyway, you guys have a good one, and I'll see you later.
133:43
Thank you. Thanks for watching!
