Summary

Mystery Pinball Theater 3000 streamer plays Lord of the Rings (VPX Valinor Edition), a virtual pinball recreation by the VPW (Vpinball World) development group. The stream is primarily gameplay commentary interspersed with chat interaction, personal updates about recovering from COVID, and discussion of the game's quality, mechanics, and comparison to the physical Stern machine at Freako Watch. The streamer praises the table's art and design but struggles with gameplay execution.

Key Claims

The physical Lord of the Rings machine at Freako Watch has broken multiple times during streamed sessions, including a broken palantir stand and burned-out coil.
high confidence · Streamer directly states: 'we broke the palantir stand up and it was rolling around in the play field and then one other time i played i'm not kidding you guys... i think we burned a coil out and the game went up in smoke these are both on stream'
The Lord of the Rings machine at Freako Watch generates significant revenue, with people coming specifically to play it.
high confidence · Streamer says: 'that thing earns like crazy holy smokes' and 'people come to freako watch to play lord of the rings'
VPW (Vpinball World) recreated the Lord of the Rings table with different artwork from the original, styled as a 1990s pin.
high confidence · Streamer says: 'they kind of downgraded it back to 1.6... they switched out the old awesome art... when we started we wanted to make it look like a 90s pin'
The VPX Valinor Edition was updated to work in VPX 10.6 with bug fixes approximately 6 hours before the stream.
high confidence · Streamer states: 'if you downloaded this game prior to like six hours ago go back to vpu and get the latest because this is the latest and it works in 10.6'
A beginner-level player named Mary is significantly better at the physical Lord of the Rings machine than the streamer.
medium confidence · Streamer says: 'beginners like mary is way better at it than i am' and 'she's so good at this game but um man... she destroys me on this game'
Stern later moved the skill shot switch to a higher position on subsequent games to prevent easy skill shots (e.g., Batman 66).
medium confidence · Streamer notes: 'stern got smart though later and moved that switch' and 'if you look at games like batman 66 or whatever they move that switch all the way up here now so it's a lot harder to cheat that switch'
The streamer finds the physical Lord of the Rings machine easier to play than the VPX version.
high confidence · Streamer states: 'i find the physical table easier to play than the vpx' and 'i do so much better on the physical pin i suck at v-pin'

to figure out where that ring shot is because i swear this plays extremely well and i'm really glad that they they kind of downgraded it back to 1.6 10.6 although for me 10.6 is not a downgrade 10.6 means i am playing this in vr so if you downloaded this game prior to like six hours ago go back to vpu and get the latest latest latest latest because this is the latest latest latest latest and it works in 10.6 and they fixed something somewhere i don't remember what it said but um just redownload it so you don't so you're not it's the one on the sword that chain oh this post here okay man i i

beginners like mary destroys me on this game she's so good at this game but um man who sounded like gollum just then but uh yeah it's like you know you they moved so if you look at games like batman

able to have to say oh that doesn't work oh that's stupid you want to go all right let's lock in let's figure out how to how to play this game if i give it a little ah i i was nailing that shot like left and right earlier and now i can't do it anymore i have some lag bolts hello i'll flip um he covers everything lags on the street it's very real yeah flip straight it's it's it's real and it's hard to consistently compensate for this lag i don't know why they switched out the old awesome art uh when we started we wanted to make it look like a 90s pin oh that's cool it looks great it really does it looks it looks fabulous [Music] all right john James Rees davies let's start yelling here we go keep going jackpot three check out three too late oh got it deck on four no it's so much fun to hear him screaming out jackpots in this game i mean that's it that's all i want i thought what more do you have to ask for uh the og the oh the art on oglg was uh was a wars he doesn't yell when you keep training i spent nine months drawing all this stuff and when i got got to see those sweet rush drawings those sweet sweet rush restaurants oh what's up joey um what's that naked what is that flipstreen oh wow low in the rings lime edition yeah um willy wonka what's up i'm so late have you seen how lovingly rendered every single lock of mel gibson's mullet is mel gibson mill gibson is not in this movie is it me or did i miss that [Music] yeah you got it you got you got to give it up for um astro for by the way astro nasty is uh astro nicey here and uh they out they stream pinball so check them out on astro nicey at here on twitch here on the twitches on the twitches [ __ ] after the stream is over i'm gonna make everybody pancakes you know if you were really good at this game plus one blueberry uh well i'm glad if he likes cable that's high praise i can try now nicely stop it don't don't don't do that don't do that but but bro i gotta tell you this is really good this is really good um what is that they why who's why are you guys posting links that make me i don't get nothing past you guys do i nothing goes past you guys so i was gonna say if you're really good at this game you can change the mode you want by hitting the flipper right you can change the mode up at the top the lights on the top are rotating so once you do that you have to go past the one you want and then flip to get the one you passed it's really hard this is a this is a freaking brick fest wow by the way uh here's a good segue after you've watched my trash play for the last hour on this beautiful table white chocolate chips and blueberries what's that link no you should look at the link because the link is great it's hard to it's hard to ending like yeah oh joey knows joey yeah joey and astro are a freaking baller i drew all the art for the upcoming original vpwd table totally new table brand new theme never been done before like is 10x cooler than this table wow okay is that the mrs doubtfire one uh assume that everyone else is dumb as s and me and doesn't know anything about virtual pinball oh w uh vpw is a virtual yeah thank you astronautic it's a group of um it's a group of really talented table uh creators who put lots and lots and lots of hours into recreating uh these uh tables and also creating um um creating uh new new tables so they're just passionate pinball developers there's coders artists um all kinds of disciplines in this field 3d scanners and everything and vpw is a big group it's like wu-tang vpw is like wu-tang you know what i mean so take that for what it's worth vpw for life um i was saying after you watch me do crap games all night we're going to raid george over don't panic flip and he's got escher lefkoff who is uh like ranked fourth in the world of pinball and they will be playing they will be playing godzilla i think with beta code or something like that anyway escher watch escher um azure is ridiculous you got to stick around and watch this kid play he's a monster pinball player they're playing physical pinball and he's a monster pinball player so that that comes up right after so i'm happy days he's laverne and shirley let's just say that the gluten-free pancakes i like i like gluten-free pancakes monster player on monster table yeah george will need refueling you got that right i wish george so lucky i wish i had like all the really good players i know you know play at frigo watch um the only time i get access to them is when i'm there and they're there so if i get to play with people like like andre or stuff like that gosh how long has it been since someone has subscribed to my channel [Music] so surreal made a cool plug-in that i'm going to be adding to that redemption by the way surreal 7 is just surreal 7 makes shaders and video games and surreal seven is ridiculous not yet surreal not yet not yet surreal kovitz come on man i can't be messing with this stuff kovit i'm i'm literally destroying my chances of putting this on youtube now because i'm screaming damn it it's all for the joke i want to be like escher when i grow up sorry manu hey i wrote that thing while you had coped no big deal really well that was weird i got the ball back though i can't get a multiball for you guys i can't get i can't get stuff for you guys i'm trying to get stuff for you guys and i'm not getting it that's okay i'm gonna get it off stream and i'm gonna send it to vp fiends and i'm gonna make him add but that's what i do i do it off stream i send it to vp fiends and i get them all pissed off i go hey fiends can you put up this score and i send him a score and then then he sends me a tom carty video and then we just go back that's our relationship i send him scores he sends me party videos it works out it works out i think so barsh barolog bar balrog bar log how smart is this to do if you actually play um if you actually play lord of the rings is that a smart shot to make at all it doesn't seem like it not terribly smart yeah they want you to bash the target that leads right to the center drain bonky town [Music] got it adding clear plastic under the ring was huge gameplay fixing it over overs was missing oh wow right i know i'm really pissed off i have never tilted this much ever i'm wondering that was not destroy the rainbow no i am wondering what is wrong with me why am i nudging so damn much i'm gonna do one more i'm gonna do one and i'm gonna try not to coven made me too strong and now i can now i'm doing a lot look at that look at that no switches no switches but no skill shot anymore do i still get the skill shot nope no skill shot because you because you're playing i've gone a video game oh man insanity you wouldn't believe how um you you'd be you'd be you'd be shocked at how accurate some of these people's tables are when it comes to simulating a real game and my headphones are dying so i'm going to have to go soon i forgot to charge my head tell hawkeyes to make an ns a not a not safe for work tilt pup trigger to help you yeah that would stop me from tilting like fast um we can rebuild him we have technology we even manage headphones uh let's do the lanes let's do lanes here we go lanes boom yay we got the lanes lane skill [Music] shot you have one job man one job change your head charge your headphones i know but i'm gonna blame everything on that on that horrible disease that everyone's giving to each other no not syphilis no what oh god let's start a mode my headphones died so i can't hear what you guys are typing now i have your bow hairpiece hercules herculoid let's do that oh get it get it get it get it get it get it oh man destroy uh man did manu get to destroy the ring on stream i'll have to watch the vibe manu got to destroy this the ring on the physical game on stream so just go to mystery pinball theater 3000 and search for lord of the rings you'll see me playing it maybe me and mary playing it and we do get to destroy the ring on that game we are not doing well on this game because we keep missing shots like that not making shots is is not the way to play pinball right behind the shot the shot behind the shot is not the shot [Music] i'm wondering if the slope should be a little steeper though i'm used to like a little steeper slope ball too locked this could be lucrative this could get good this last game could get good kids oh no you got to be joking do not tilt me do not freaking tilt oh you what uh everything's under control situation normal everything's perfectly all right now we're fine we're all fine here now thank you how are you somebody's gonna fix something when the stream is over there's a v pin that's gonna get a spanking i know it is jewelry what's up jerry and then your mama got a job yeah [Music] so snoozing streams well oh yeah joey your dvd is in the mail this shirt this shirt is pretty cool it's my it's my free gold white shirt look we killed him [Music] jerry that dvd went from wherever i bought it from to here i signed it i sent it to texas surreal sound that signed it and surreal sending it to you when you get it spray it down with like everything you have before you touch it like don't don't lick it when you get the dvd jewelry don't go ah dvd from manual and surreal don't do that that's not a good idea um let's see uh yeah the ring you saw that was pretty sweet the ring you saw man it was dtr is why i asked you if you saw it on track mode it's it's so cool it's so cool let's see it will it happen again it's so cool astro do it do it do it do it do it do it

point um let's free go watch deliver i don't feel like driving to the bay i don't think so what's up try to tilt i didn't see there intro screens going did you get the generic adventure shirt that's not based on anything i don't remember which one i got i think i got the one that's not based on anything yeah because i wanted to kind of be clear um i wanted to have my vpw bling to be like kind of clear i'm not telling my wife because she knows i don't need another friggin um pinball t-shirt [Music] um i like the shirt you were wearing yesterday astro and don't think i didn't watch your stream a little bit oh lift the flipper up so the ball can go right underneath yeah that was a good idea um i usually lurk on other vpx's streams that's why it sometimes gets weird when someone says yeah so i asked manu and i go what did you ask me and they go i follow game club central around basically wherever game club central is i'm basically there and i'm waiting for them to mention me no i was i've been following astro nicey since astronauts he started streaming what are you talking about i like astro stream because astro doesn't have a cab astro just like set it up to like this like astro has like this ghetto set up that looks baller anyway it's like unapologetically like ghetto i'm already at ball three so it's not like i'm stalling very long wow but you guys gotta try it uh once again if
