TL;DR

Manu streams Corvette VPX despite OBS config loss, discusses upcoming virtual pinball projects.

Summary

Manu from Mystery Pinball Theater 3000 streams a playthrough of Corvette, a newly released VPX (Virtual Pinball X) table by Midway (1994), while dealing with significant technical difficulties from a corrupted OBS streaming configuration backup that caused him to lose hours of work and disable channel redemptions two hours before going live. The stream features casual gameplay commentary, discussion of other upcoming VPX projects (Guardians of the Galaxy remake, Munsters remake, The Getaway video pack), and tangential conversations about pinball venues and community streaming.

Key Claims

  • Corvette VPX table was just released today; Manu had a preview for about a week and a half but held off streaming it until official release

    high confidence · Manu states: 'I actually had this table for about a week and a half. I got my hands on a preview... it was finally released today'

  • The Corvette VPX engine rendering appears flat and underdeveloped in 3D space compared to the original machine

    medium confidence · Manu: 'When I look at it in virtual reality, the engine is a little flat... When I look at it in 3d space it looks a little flat a little plain... It doesn't look a hell of a lot like the original'

  • A Guardians of the Galaxy VPX remake is in development by Harlan and others, created from scratch without existing Spike 2 simulation code

    medium confidence · Manu: 'They are making a Guardians of the Galaxy recreation... it's a full remake it's not using any of their code... we don't have Spike 2 simulation yet so instead they they recreate everything'

  • Guardians of the Galaxy ROM content has been encrypted, making ownership more desirable as a physical machine

    medium confidence · Manu: 'One of the games that I would own if I could... More so now that they've encrypted the ROM content'

  • A Munsters VPX remake is in development and has improved significantly from earlier versions

    medium confidence · Manu: 'The other one I want to... is The Munsters. I want to take a look at how far along they've gotten with The Munsters remake... The last time I played it... I wasn't terribly into it, but I hear that it's come along really well and it's much, much better'

  • Manu's streaming configuration backup from a few days prior was corrupt, forcing him to restore from an even older backup approximately one week old, losing hours of recent work

    high confidence · Manu: 'I had a backup from a few days ago. Went to restore the backup. Backup is corrupt... So the only thing I could do is go to an older backup... it had hours and hours and hours of work not done yet'

Testing 1, 2, 3. Is this thing on? I think so. oh hi oh yeah look it says batman of course Oh boy. Oh now it doesn't say Batman. So you ever have one of those days? I'm having one right now. Hello, MPT3K here. Sorry about the somber start, but I have a little story to tell you about how hard it is to do my job. So, I'm going to shut this off. I'll just shut it down. I don't know if everything works right now, but I started, what's the shortest way I can tell this story? my I wiped out my all my my all my streaming I wiped out everything all my streaming configuration I wiped it out two hours before I'm supposed to stream today um I hope you guys can hear me right now let me just double check and make sure where is it yes yes I might just leave that up I don't care um so I wiped out everything. I had a backup from a few days ago. Went to restore the backup. Backup is corrupt. Ugh. The backup is corrupt. So the only thing I could do is go to an older backup, which had hours and hours and hours of work not done yet. So it's only going to take me like an evening to put all that stuff back together. But basically I had to disable Channel Redemptions today completely because they're going to be broken. I did want to, but I did want to stream. I want to make sure I got stream out today. And I wanted to stream some virtual because I haven't streamed virtual in a little bit. Actually, that's a lie. I did stream virtual, but it was Sopranos Pup Pack by John and Harlan. And it's a little dirty. So after I streamed it, I deleted it because it's a little hardcore. I didn't want to put that up on YouTube.
2:39
But today I'm playing, let's see if all this works. Yes, at least that works. Holy smokes. Today I'm playing Corvette, which is, it just came out. Actually, I got my hands on a preview earlier, but it's not cool to, you know, it's not cool to stream a preview of a game. Stream it when it comes out. Corvette, I will put the authors in the description below. and the link so you can download it, check it out. But we're going to play a little Corvette. I'm going to make sure that everything's running. All I'm going to do is play Corvette right now. It's not going to be any fancy Channel Redemptions or anything. And hopefully my camera keeps working because my camera also was crapping out. So anyway.

high confidence · Manu: 'I had a new one, too. It was so cool... I had to disable Channel Redemptions today completely because they're going to be broken'

  • Next Level arcade is located outside Portland, Oregon and is recommended for practice play

    medium confidence · Manu: 'Next level is right outside of Portland... If you haven't been to next level, you need to go'

  • Pinball-themed venues in Austin, Texas are losing credibility, with one location being a poor choice for pinball players

    medium confidence · Manu: 'Pinball's in Austin, Texas, which if you ask me is starting to lose its pinball credibility... It's a giant amusement park not for pins. It's terrible'

    • Manu@ 27:44 — Shows optimism about upcoming VPX projects but less enthusiasm for Munsters remake

  • “I'm gonna head down there on Thursday. We're gonna stream that for a couple hours. Should be a lot of fun.”

    • 3:23
    Let's see. Make sure we can all hear this. Yes. Hopefully it's not too loud. I'm just going to lower that a little bit. I'm going to play a little Corvette.
    3:40
    I don't know any of the rules to Corvette. What's up? Don't panic flip. I don't, you know what? I have no idea if your sound played. In fact, let me see.
    4:02
    You can't use, I just explained, you can't use any of your points because the worst thing ever happened.
    4:18
    The worst thing ever happened. Two hours before I went to stream, I loaded OBS. Do your USB hub also explode and destroy 2K? No, I was on your stream yesterday, and let me tell you what happened to me, and then you tell me what happened to you.
    4:37
    And I hope you didn't blow the 920s, the 920 or the Yeti. I hope they just kind of don't work, or they didn't work for that session.
    4:49
    I opened OBS, and I had a fresh blank screen, freshly blanked OBS, ready to go. And I'm like, where is my stuff? Long story short, I somehow managed to wipe out everything I did. I went to an old backup that I did a few days ago, and that backup was corrupt. So I had to go back to an even older backup, which worked, but it put me way, way, way back. About a week back from all the work that I did. So I had the disabled channel redemptions. I had a new one, too. It was so cool. it was really cool and I had it working last night before I destroyed everything um yeah but I don't know what's worse bro losing hardware or losing OBS config and I'm wondering if losing my OBS config I just threw cameras I just threw the cameras out about 30 minutes ago. Oh, man.
    6:00
    So they were actually fried? I don't know what's worse. They won't even power up. Nothing across multiple computers. Oh, man.
    6:15
    You have the more expensive... What happened to both of us? We are the gods of this stuff. We are really good at this stuff. What happened?
    6:31
    What's up, Flipstream? Oh, my God. So, Flipstream, see what I'm playing? See what I'm playing? It's unfortunate that George lost his. He doesn't have it anymore. Table's quiet? I can make it a little louder.
    7:00
    VPX version. I can make it a little louder. I was hoping that I wasn't being too loud. Wait, let me do it in a minute.
    7:11
    So I actually had this table for about a week and a half. I got my hands on a preview. and uh you know it's not cool to stream previews so i just held on to it and it was finally released today uh actually no i didn't mean to hold out on you because they actually told me they said you could share this with your buddy because i told them that you and i were looking for specifically i just forgot that i had it honestly i'm not even joking i just forgot because once it's a preview right so once i saw that it was a preview i played it once and then said okay now i'll wait for them to finish it and i just put it away and i was so so into you know getting batman to run and everything and george and i were just talking about his mishap with the power in the computer yesterday. And that sucks. So he lost his tilt cam.
    8:23
    No, yeah, I think he lost his tilt cam and his hands camera. And as I recall, even the player camera was giving him trouble.
    8:38
    And for me, today, Okay, I'm going to turn it up a little And the Yeti Oh my god I turned the table up a little bit Let me know if you want me to turn it up a little more Obviously not salty at all about it What's interesting, right, is right now Inside I feel Very upset and angry Because I lost my entire OBS Config Or at least I thought I did until I realized that I had an older, older backup that I could rely on. But, guys, I had such a cool channel redemption.
    9:26
    I made this cool channel redemption last night. Oh, is it the multi-ball? Cool. Which multi-ball is this?
    9:37
    Oh. come on out come on out come on i gotta shoot that two of them boom boom oh that's a torque jackpot get up that torque jackpot jackpot oh um don't pan and flip look at look into an A.K.A. ASO EK7000 Pro. $60. Can do 1080p 30. Powered entirely by USB. And can use GoPro mounting accessories.
    10:13
    It's not a great camera, but it's cheap. I'm looking for a replacement to C920s. Because the playfield cam, the player cam that's on me right now, keeps failing and I think it's because the wire the cable is damaged so I have a janky cable right now if you have an option for me for a cheap webcam or something left flipper controls gas right flipper change okay ready set go shift shift shift go go go go go what do I do to go faster What do I do to go faster? Shift. I win. I think I won. Yay, I won.
    11:10
    Oh, I have a multiball. Can you guys hear the table okay? So, hey, Flipstream, the day that we went to dual stream, I backed up my streamer. backed it up completely it works as a webcam you don't you don't put an sd card and it just streams over to usb2 okay so i went to uh when we dual stream that friday i backed up my i did an image of my entire machine then i went to do other stuff like desk camera and all that stuff um that backup is corrupt so i lost my entire obs setup all my channel points all my smash the glass all my cool call outs everything gone i had to go back to an older like a week ago yeah a week ago and it had like a basic it had most of the stuff like i can turn the channel points back on but you're you're missing a lot of things fortunately all of my fortunately all of my um data is not stored on my boot drive i don't put the data on the boot drive so all the assets i created are just fine I just have to re-implement them but you know how OBS is like it's like building composites in After Effects once you've gone through building lots of pre-comps rebuilding the pre-comps again is a little bit tricky alright somebody tell me how to play Corvette because it looks fun and I am literally doing terrible on it X splits the same way? Yeah.
    12:54
    Let me know if you can hear it. If it's coming in loud and clear. I made a breakthrough last night with OBS, too. I made this wonderful breakthrough about how to monitor my audio.
    13:12
    Ooh, nice. And barely? Okay, I can crank it up. Hopefully that's not too loud. Oh, fuck off. No, it won't go up there. I was getting it up there earlier. Boom! Get up there. Boom! You gotta say boom. I can actually hear something now. I can make it louder too, but, you know. It might be because the game itself is quiet. This reminds me a little bit of Indy 500. But, not quite. If your audio is at 8, the table is at 2. Okay, let's boost it a little more.
    14:15
    That seems like a little loud to me, but I'm going to take your word for it. So anyway, I got an uphill battle to do to get all my stuff back. I made another... So, 8.3.
    14:35
    So, since I'm like the guy, the Channel Redemption guy now, the Channel Point Redemption pinball guy at least, I made another cool redemption last night before everything was destroyed And I think it should be easy enough to um easy enough to rebuild But, flipstream, this may, depending on, sound is good now, cool. Depending on how much I get done, I may not be able to do a long Friday. We'll see. I was quite saddened by my loss.
    15:20
    Especially when you put so much time and effort into those Channel Redemption kind of builds. If you write a cool The Onboard script and you lose it. So now I have to develop more backups. More ways of backing up everything.
    15:41
    Anyway, it should all be fine. Let me see if I... colors. I go color red. I mean, that stuff. That stuff still works.
    15:53
    Yeah, this week has been pretty brutal for me, too. Okay. Yeah. We just gotta get in another duel before Batman goes bye-bye. Which, I don't know when that's gonna be.
    16:03
    The scheduled date of Batman going bye-bye is like July 28th, I think. That's the scheduled date. but we'll see when it actually goes bye-bye so George I know you have a little bit of time before you start your stream that's why you come and hang out I appreciate it what is it you need to get your stuff going now is it just hardware oh 28 that's 2 weeks Okay, yeah, two weeks we got. I like that ramp there.
    16:49
    Wow, that goes rocketing past the footwork. Holy crap. Oh, and I got my MPT-3K t-shirt. It looks... Oh, break shot! Oh, hell yes! Dude, please do break shot.
    17:13
    No, not the same issue. The print is fine. I'm wondering if your image wasn't high resolution enough. That's why you got the anti-aliasing. Because I got absolutely zero anti-aliasing on mine. The problem was on mine, and I threw it in the wash.
    17:32
    I threw it in the wash because it smelled like vinegar. The problem with mine is they made the pinball with like an egg. They stretched the pinball. It looks like a misery egg theater instead of a pinball. I need one more USB camera. I still have the Ryzer Kyle. Yeah, so...
    18:01
    It looks like an egg. And I'm like, okay, well, if you guys... If you guys need me to... I can say that. If you guys need me to stretch the graphic a little bit, I got my Flipstream shirt in. Cool. Seems like they're pushing out the shirts. George, exactly what you said about shirts in your stream last night was exactly the thing. The whole COVID thing is delaying a lot of, for some reason, shirts. I don't know why.
    18:34
    Hey, wait a minute. They don't match. So anyway, I'm waiting for my buddy's shirt to come in because my buddy ordered a MPT3K shirt too. And I'm going to see if his comes in as elongated, then I'll just resubmit the graphic stretched a little.
    19:03
    I'm shooting lights. Does anybody know what else I need to shoot on this table? It's got some nice flow. Even this virtual has nice flow.
    19:17
    No ship notice yet. Okay. So the only gripe I have about this VPS right now, it looks great. But when I look at it in 3D, and they could probably update this later.
    19:39
    When I look at it in virtual reality, the engine is a little flat. so I don't know if the engine is actually either if it's either rendered in 3d or just rendered enough so that it looks fine in 2d but I'm not sure if the authors gave it a good look in 3d space so when I look at it in 3d space it looks a little flat a little plain as you can see it doesn't look too much like the original. It doesn't look a hell of a lot like the original. And don't panic Luke
    20:19
    can attest to that because he had it available to him for a little while. Man I am terrible at that ramp right there. Oh it's a double! Why did he come out? Oh I got a three ball multi ball for no apparent reason.
    20:41
    Unless I'm not paying attention. I quite... I could not just be paying attention. Oh, crap. Oh, old man. Dang it.
    20:54
    Shoot it to restart. Okay, I shot it. Give it to me, baby. Oh, okay. I played a real one of these like once real quick in Austin at pinballs and crazy fun. Am I supposed to hit the flippers to make the engine move? Apparently it's moving on its own. Oh! Dang it. Get the extra ball. Spark plug, extra ball award lit. Oh! What a save. Woo! I'm lucking it out. Where's the extra ball? I got it. I didn't even know where it was. If I don't hold that flipper up during that loop, I am dead.
    21:58
    Nice. Hey! You like all the balls. What's up, Flip Street? Oh. Ready, set, go. Oh, what did I do? Oh, crap.
    22:13
    Why am I behind? Oh, I lost. I didn't... Better luck next time. 28,000. 28 million. I lost the race.
    22:28
    This also reminds me a little bit of No Fear. You know, No Fear... You lose the drag race. Yeah, I lost the drag race. I wasn't paying attention. I think I was supposed to gas up on one and shift with the other. There you go. There you go Ball launch is totally different Yeah I think I mean really like the kind of DMD stuff Woo That's a fun little loop If you can hit it You can probably do really well In this game Oh nice Pit stop And hurry up Boom! Boom-a-boom! Wow! Go, go, go, baby! This is hella fun! Boom! Get up there! Boom! Light turbo! Oh, I gotta hurry up, Conan. I'm not doing it.
    23:45
    6X bonus! I so want to try TMNT. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Well, if you ask, don't panic, look nicely. He might invite you to his house.
    24:00
    After COVID, of course. To play. Boom. So, guys, they have made... And I'm skeptical... Skept... Skept... Skept... How do you say that?
    24:19
    Skept... skeptical, well look, I'm in doubt of the VPX that they are creating for the recreation of Guardians of the Galaxy.
    24:36
    They are making a Guardians of the Galaxy recreation. My buddy's my buddy Harlan who made the awesome Avengers table he said it's coming along pretty good uh hot wheels looks like looks a little fun too easy for you to say uh i um love hot wheels what's up button brigade what's up good to see you um so yeah so i'm looking forward to the remake of guardians of the galaxy it's a full stern remake it's not using any of their code right because no one has been able to which is not totally true but we don't have we don't have spike 2 simulation yet so instead they they recreate everything what's up win race today i want to race today let's race today oh crap g.o.t.g on vpx looks insane oh my god have you yeah i've seen it but I don't know. I play so much Guardians of the Galaxy. Like, I know that game so well. That was my go-to game. Like, I know people like to hate on it, but that was, that was my go-to game for a while. And, like, one of the games that I would own if I could.
    26:18
    More so now that they've encrypted the ROM content. Oh, really? Thank you for the bitties. oh by the way once again uh thank you oh i got a multi-ball going i'm not even paying attention okay i shot the engine to restart okay let's do this multi-ball um uh bubble bubble bubble yep so i'm looking forward to i will debut it on the stream as soon as it's available, as soon as it's ready. The other one that I want to debut is... Well, not debut, but the other one I want to... I don't get debuts. I just play them.
    27:06
    ...is Munsters. Oh, that was terrible. I want to take a look at how far along they've gotten with the Munsters remake.
    27:18
    I hear that it's come along pretty well. The last time I played it, I wasn't... terribly into it, but I think that's also because I wasn't terribly into the actual game, like, I don't know, just monsters didn't do anything for me as a stern game. I just kind of like, alright, that's a theme that they had. You know, yeah, same, right? So,
    27:40
    but I hear that it's come along really well and it's much, much better, so I'll give it a shot. But I'm excited about Guardians.
    27:51
    I'm really excited about Guardians. That was terrible What am I supposed to shoot to win this race Oh arrows I have to shoot Ah Um Overwhelming feel of meh On monsters Monsters seems like a bad virtual port Maybe they'll take it further Than Stern Yeah Some I, I, I, some guy liked it. I'm saying some guy. I'm sure a lot of people liked it. Some guy liked it enough to want to take on the challenge of, and it's a huge challenge to recreate these games because they have to capture the video from somewhere. They have to get the video. Like, like somebody cap, somebody do Batman 66. That would be impressive. Um, not that none of this, I don't want to say impressive. I don't want to say that, but anyway, I should shut up. What makes it fun is the layout and the feeling of the shots, in my humble opinion.
    28:54
    Good geometry is hampered by bad code. Yeah, like the opposite of Joko's Buster. So, what you guys have to look forward to in terms of virtual on my stream...
    29:06
    Jeez, that's terrible. ...is Monsters and Guardians of the Galaxy. My buddies John and Harlan, They promised me they would send me a debut release of The Getaway. So they're creating a video pack for The Getaway. And I think it uses video footage from Baby Driver So it should be pretty badass Nothing wrong with the geometry of Ghostbusters
    29:45
    It's a great game, both rules and layout. Fight for your right to party, George. Fight for your right. Nothing, I agree, nothing is wrong with the geometry of Ghostbusters.
    29:59
    Except that. Nothing is wrong with the geometry of those fissures. Forgot. Boy, it's that COVID kick along. Forgot.
    30:19
    Yeah. Woo! Get up there. I really got to stop that from doing that. Oh, did you see? that. I could play the replay if my replay stuff worked, which it doesn't because I have to rebuild it.
    30:37
    Blibber, blibber, cough, cough. Who's the designer of Ghostbuster Club? Was that Sullivan? Or who was the designer of that?
    30:57
    Oh, video from OutRun. Oh my god, you guys. so oh he who shall not be named the flipper gap was intentional for play better the flipper gap was intentional for play better if you're joining me here on twitch or if you're watching me later on youtube I implore you, please check out on Twitch the Pinball Network. We are a bunch of cool kids who like to stream jackpots. Woo! We like to stream jackpots. We like to stream pinball here on Twitch. And I just screwed that up badly. Let's see if we can get a restart.
    31:49
    Oh, nope. Ooh. Also, my tilt cam is gone. Well, my tilt cam is right there. Dwight Sullivan. Yes. Rules.
    31:59

    Hey, thanks for joining. This is Corvette. This is a VPX. I don't have the author's name because I never prepare.
    36:26
    But it will... Author will be in the description when I post this on YouTube later on Mystery Pinball Theater 3000. Why am I doing this?
    36:37
    What is this all about? Um, I can't hear you. I've got the sound turned down. Then how did you hear me say that? Can you hear me? No, I can't. Okay. All right.
    36:53
    I like this. If I knew the rules to this, I would have so much more fun. It would be so cool if I knew the rules. Right now I'm just shooting a flash and shot.
    37:11
    My little boy right now is being so terrible. My three-year-old is just giving mommy a lot of crap right now.
    37:28
    One thing I like to do when I play is I like to explain what I'm doing. What I'm doing right now is not knowing how to play this.
    37:38
    And trying to break a billion. Maybe. Trying to get these cars to race a little bit. Let's do that. So next time I see you guys, I will have the tilt cam back. And I have a point redemption that is so friggin' cool.
    38:05
    I think so. I smile every time I do it. But then they're like my babies. I smile every time I throw a new point redemption up. They're like my babies.
    38:16
    And I try and make them cheap. This is a good time to build up... Yes, that would be me. This would be a good time to build up channel points right now. Thinking Season 1 Mad Hatter Season 2 Egghead And season 3 Tut Season 1 Mad Hatter Okay Egghead definitely season 2 It's like two shots and it's done Um Oh come on Alright I'll give it a shot tonight Well maybe not tonight I'm gonna be Rebuilding my stream Gadget One shot Oh gadget plus one shot Yeah yeah yeah Um Yeah so Let's play a little more Corvette We're gonna hang out here Anybody thinking High score Anybody thinking High score Top five What are the high scores On this
    39:23
    What are the high sports on this? Look, I got a credit dot. I didn't bother to look. It moves if you target... If you hit gadget or TV targets.
    39:45
    Oh, I see. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. All right, let's do some serious stuff. Let's get that ramp. Okay, don't screw it up. Oh, stop it. I just wasted my... That's weird that the kickback feeds... The kickback feeds...
    40:19
    Got the kickback. What? The physics are not quite the perfect physics on this. So I'm... I'm managing to do... Shoot-lit arrows to advance blue car. Alright. See the race? The race has started. Shot an arrow. Come on. Come on, come on, come on. Let me have it! I can't race if you don't give me the frickin' ball.
    40:49
    Did I win? Oh, I didn't win. Oh, come on. Look at that finish. Oh, he's trying to speed up. There's too many rules.
    41:02
    Too many times I have to take my head out of work from the frigging screen. Old Man Christmas. Think you could get a billion? I don't think so. Not today, maybe.
    41:14
    Not in the time I have left to stream. So I'm going to be done in about... How much time do I got? I think I have maybe 15 minutes.
    41:25
    311. I don't know how to start the... Well, light lock. Hang on. I see it. Leia, wait. Uh-oh.
    41:42
    Can we light a lock? Cheese sake. Nope. Boop. Waka! There we go. Did that light? Yes, that lit my lock.
    41:58
    Green lights mean locks, right guys? Green lights mean locks. Oh, that was nasty. Is that locking a ball? No. Shootless arrow. Another race. Another race. Another race. Another race. Boom. Lit arrow.
    42:19
    Boom. Lit arrow. Give it to me. I'm assuming I have to do that. Ah! Dang it. Shots count two. Don't be mad because I'm a drunk West Virginian. Beat this machine.
    42:39
    Don't be mad because I'm a drunk West Virginian. That was an awfully detailed description of a drunk.
    42:51
    Oh, this game! Oh, this game! Well, I'm at half a billion. The easiest skill shot in pinball is right there. You just basically don't do anything. Alright, that's a ball lock. Catch me if you can. Oh, look at that.
    43:22
    Shoot what? Shoot right loop. Okay. Oh. Feed me, feed me, feed me. Upper flipper, upper flipper, upper flipper, upper flipper.
    43:44
    All the way around. Oh, it doesn't quite make it if you... Oh, right on. It's a freaking sign. I thought Circus Voltaire had the easiest skill shot. No! Circus Voltaire, you actually have to use a little skill to get that skill shot. Right? A full plunge will go past it. Um, yes, train. A full plunge will go past it, and a certain plunge will hit it.
    44:08
    My arcade machine went nuts for a second. I was like, what the hell is it doing? Alright, let's put another one up. So this is super cool Very rare I've seen one Corvette On location And that was pinballs In Austin Texas Which If you ask me is starting to lose its pinball credibility
    44:35
    The second location of pinballs is... Don't waste your time even going there. It's a giant amusement park not for pins.
    44:45
    It's terrible. But the first location of pinballs... is much better. See, if Don't Panic Flip was here, he'd tell me that I was supposed to get the flippers to speed up. He's not here anymore. He's off preparing his stream.
    45:09
    A fellow TPNer. Let's see. I thought, uh, Drain, me too. Up at next level. Oh, what about putting initials? I don't know. Maybe somebody's initials will go up.
    45:26
    Someday. When we make... Oh, you guys sad you can't redeem voices for me right now? Don't worry. We'll be doing it Friday. Hopefully Friday we'll have a dual stream going a little earlier. I won't be able to stream at my normal time on Friday.
    45:48
    I got daddy duties. again, because I am a daddy. But we might be able to do a 7pm to 9pm stream. Which, let's see, what about putting the shoes? Beat the damn thing! Which, if you haven't been to next level, you need to go.
    46:13
    Next level is in Austin? Next level is Austin? I don't remember where next level is. Oh, okay, right outside of Portland. Oh, shoot. Yeah, next level is... What's up, Micah? You wanna finish up with me?
    46:37
    Oh, you got new sneakers. Oh, careful, careful, watch it. Don't step on the keyboard. New sneakers! Yeah, cool. Are you streaming? I am streaming. Oh wait, you're streaming? Yeah. I thought your computer was on. Well, it's working enough for me to get through a stream. Wait, okay, where's the camera? I'm showing you.
    46:59
    I don't think you can see your new sneakers. I can't see my new sneakers. Wait, maybe it can. Take them off.
    47:08

    Yeah, but... Thank you for showing me your sneakers, bro. I want to show them the nice detail. You just did. You did. You are. I want to show them the nice detail. The nice detail? Right here. Just on the front. That's it.
    48:28
    I won't go any faster. Alright, alright. Okay, okay, okay. Okay. Bye guys. I gotta finish this up. His sneakers are awesome.
    48:44
    We love the sneakers. It's better than Ground Control or Quarter World. If you like pinball, yes. All day, every day. Everything on free play. Well, how much does it cost to get in, though?
    48:58
    I mean, I love free play. I support... I support the Alameda pinball. And they're like $15 to get in. You can play everything. everything all day. And that's the perfect place to practice stuff. It's perfect to practice like, you know, drop catches and live catches and do all the stuff that could be dangerous on a screen that you have to pay for. You have to pay for.
    49:35
    This is my billion dollar game right here, guys. Boom, boom, boom. Come on out, come on out you puppies, get up there. Dang it. Bam! That didn't do it. That almost did it. That did it! That's a triple jackpot, wow. I can't stage, I can't stage. There is, there is flipper staging in VPX, but the table has to be written for it and you have to have stage flippers, which I do not. Alright, we're almost done, guys.
    50:18
    120 machines, I think it was $16 all day. That's a really good deal. I could do... Come on, ball safe, please. Thank you.
    50:35
    That's actually longer than I would probably be able to play pinball. My pinball stamina. I tilted. There goes whatever bonus I would have had. Oh, dang it.
    50:52
    Well, there are initials, Dberry. But the last person that did something for me was ButtonBrigade. ButtonBrigade, what is your initials? I will be putting those puppies into here for player one high score. I'm going to assume it's a B but maybe not let's do a baby I'm going to say B Button Brigade BBG B I'll remember you as BBG Button Brigade BBG We're going to do one more And then we're going to walk over and go see what Panic Flip is doing So uh I'm going to put you in as BBG Boom, Button Brigade, high score Once again Thank you for the biddies, you're so awesome Boom, 964 would have been Over a billion if I hadn't tilted Woo Thank you for the biddies Alright, one more One more And then we're gonna We're gonna rady rady our buddy Don't panic the flip out And I am going to try Is that not a ball save Well this will be a fast game Dang it I'm going to try what my buddy Whoa old man Christmas With the bits thank you so much well now you guys are giving me pressure another high score initial game but I don't know if I can pull it off oh that was wicked I'm gonna try the uh what do you call it I was gonna say I'm gonna try the minor villain wizard modes and Batman And later, probably tomorrow, if I can. Thank you, Flipstream, for the information about how you think it's the easiest way to get there. And I think I agree.
    53:06
    It's still tricky, though. It's still tricky. You know, I played a game the other day where I got Season 1 and Season 3. No, Season 1 and Season 2.
    53:19
    I'm not even going to say if Season 2 is fair because I picked Egghead. And just like I failed on our duel I picked Egghead and he was easy But then I picked I think I picked Freeze And I failed Anyway I definitely want to get to Batuzi I want to try it This game feels good The flippers are responsive like usually i got the villain escape a couple of times yeah i got the villain escape on a really crappy the first the day the machine came in the second game i played i got to villain escape the second game i played i think i put up 1.4 oh flipper flip flip stream flip stream oh my god there's one thing really important that i forgot to tell you about my Batman.
    54:23
    What's that? It feels like an 18-ball multi-ball. There's one really important thing I forgot to tell you about my Batman.
    54:32
    You ready for this? The magnet was unplugged. The magnet was unplugged. that's all it was i i i was able to open the uh i pulled the playfield up just enough to see under and they just they just unplugged it so i went oh interesting so i'm using one hand to hold it and i'm trying to plug it in with the other hand because like i told you i can't lift the playfield up because of the the basement ceiling is too low so I'm holding one hand I'm like I'm gonna get this in here and I finally I had the dexterity to pull it off plugged it in magnet works first time I hit Joker it flinged it right down the middle and I went oh now I see why flip stream was like oh it's nice not having Joker fling my friggin ball out of the But um Yeah it's a totally different game now Totally different game So now when we play You can turn your magnet back on Because it'll be fair Um Let's see Is Don't panic flip Flipping Is don't panic flip Flipping Alright let's see Where his engine is Where his LTE is Okay The color is A touch red Hey The number's match He's starting.
    56:11
    So, if you join me, thank you guys so much. This is Corvette. Go to chat. There we go. This is Corvette. Once again, let's see. I need to raise the magnet on mine. There's a divot in the playfield protector. The ball gets stuck on the corner. It does it on mine, too. I think because the balls are a little magnetized also. So if the ball's a little bit magnetized and it sticks to the magnet and there's a divot, you have a perfect storm of it's just going to sit there until the ball surges. It's done it a couple times on me where it just sat there And I shook it a little and it came down This is Corvette 1994 I think Midway This is fun I'm going to continue and play a little more tonight And Thank you guys for watching Don't forget I'm going to be streaming on Thursday Hopefully at 2 o'clock 2 to 4 we're going to do a little medieval madness But it's going to be the Chicago coin remake We're going to go and join Don't Panic Flip, who is just starting up now. Thank you guys for watching. I'll see you next time with Channel Points.
