    In the meantime, I am drinking the very last of these presses. This is not a press I want to be drinking right now. It is cinnamon apple. Oh, that'll stoke the fires. Excellent, excellent. So what do we got going for us?
    7:35
    Let me show you what this looks like. Boom, check out. Oh, check out that right there. We got that extreme close-up on that wonderful mini play field. You're actually checking in on Wednesday. Excellent, excellent. We are flying out Thursday, I think, morning. and we've got Thursday evening dedicated to you.
    8:00
    That said, the tournament does start at 9 o'clock the next morning. It's no stars, says Basetone, but got my Meteor working well with a new all-tech board today. Congratulations, Basetone. Meteor, I don't even think it's underrated. It's just an awesome game. It's the total rip the spinner situation with that game. It's great. I really enjoy Meteor. On top of that, it's gorgeous. Speaking about that, I need to invite somebody over to help me get stars into the back of the camper. Iron Fox, good evening to you. I'll keep you plied with enough caffeine and alcohol that you won't need to sleep. Please tell me, Dice, that there's a Starbucks somewhere close by. Or some sort of a coffee shop.
    8:42
    Or do I need to pack my Nespresso Espresso Maker? Yeah, maybe I'll do that. Um, let's see. We're here. We're doing the things. It's a major city, George. Starbucks for days. Okay, cool. I don't know. De Pere. De Pere, De Pere, not De Bear, as somebody pointed out in a previous stream. So it's not that. Oh, you know what? This can go up a little higher. And by going up a little higher, it presents a little bit more light onto the play field. I don't know. How's that play field look? That seems bright. Right? We got everything. We can see everything. I think so. Oh. That also added a good line, though, up there. Hold on. We can... It's a little... It's not quite as bad when I did that. We lose a little bit of the light, but... De Pere is Green Bay's neighbor. Okay, okay.
    9:46
    Let's do this. Let's get a game going. Basetone, I'm going to go play my Mando on location tomorrow. See what money it's made for the week, okay? That's right, Basetone.
    9:55
    How many games do you route? I'm interested. in knowing... I have all kinds of curiosities when it comes to routing and how, I guess, how lucrative it can be.
    10:11
    That said, yeah, how many do you have? Full tilt, welcome! And what's up? I don't know, what is up? We got some good music tonight.
    10:23
    I don't know, work. I did almost two hours at the gym, had a friend show up. I finally talked to a friend of mine. Maybe we'll get him on screen at some point. But I talked to a friend into joining the local gym and first workout session. I was already about 45 minutes into the session when he got there. So then I had to step it up and be like, it's your first time. I want you to be as sore as possible tomorrow. So started on legs. When he got there, we doubled down on legs and then went to exhaustion for both of us, which was great. and then we did caps and it was awesome. It was really cool to work out with somebody.
    11:03
    And yeah, Full Tilt. Mando is super underrated right now, I think at least, especially the premium. One of the biggest complaints I hear about this game, and I'm pointing at things but y'all can't see it, but in this upper left play field, there's rollovers that on the pro, you have no control over. It's just kind of nudging and trying to get it in there, but on the premium and the LE, there's a magnet. And that magnet, when you hit the flippers, It kind of does the shifting, the pinball thing that Twilight Zone does on the upper play field. So you do have a little bit of control over which of the letters it ends up hitting.
    11:39
    I found that way more fun. It was like it was designed that way and the pros stripped out something that was super helpful.
    11:46
    How do you not have precision flippers on this yet? The silvers look awesome. Base tone. No moths on the precision flippers. I'm good. and you take a bite out of your hat's brim. That's worth mentioning. There we go. Got kind of hungry. The cookie monster ate some of the cookie bill.
    12:04
    Had to. Now Mando is just on location. I split with the location. My cut is 30-40 a week. Okay. That's not bad. And then you get all the tax benefits. I'm assuming if you have like an LLC and you're in the U.S., you get the tax benefits and the depreciation schedule. No gluten in this hat, exactly. Yeah, exactly. So let's get a game going. Nope, there's already a game going. We're going to reset.
    12:32
    Cookie Bill. A duck with a cookie bill would not last long in this ecosystem. Are you kidding me? In this academy?
    12:38
    So that's what there's... It was Faye, another awesome streamer, who told me when Jay-Z and I went and hung out with Faye and his wife Lana, they explained that there was two phrases that they knew and they were looking for more but two that they knew that you could use at any time in response to any question and it was in this economy and yeah but at what cost so think about that for a second is there a situation in which you can't say in this economy and yeah but at what cost if you hear me say those I feel like that's the go to I want to use those more often. All right, so I'm going to hit the left flipper.
    13:22
    We're going to grab, we're going to log in. And this is my first time playing this evening. I did go to League last night, and League was fantastic.
    13:33
    And I was in second place. So I got to play with Escher last night in my group. I got second a lot. So with the exception of the first game, which was on LaserCue, which is really, really tough, ended up getting second, I think, on... So I got last, second, second, second, and I don't even know what the third one... I'm assuming I got last on the third one.
    14:01
    That's a lot of number twos. In fact, it was great, too. It was... Come on, George. It's not like Escher is the best in the world or anything. Loser Kid, Josh, how you doing? Are you going to Teal this pinball profile at Lions?
    14:18
    I don't think so. I wanted to. I really wanted to. But I ended up making plans that I'm just now realizing, like, when I reconciled the fact that, oh, I made plans to go do, oh, so that was cool. It's worth it. Josh, bear with me here. So I really wanted to go do Teal this tournament. but what happened is Jack White is doing a super secret show at the tiniest venue ever in Aspen. And MJ, who's often on the stream, tweeted out about the show and then sent me a link to get to it, along with a special code, and I got in, and I got tickets. So we're going to go see Jack White in a room of, it's a max of 400 people in Aspen. And then we're just going to make a whole weekend of it, so we're doing the Hot Springs on the way out on Saturday.
    15:14
    And then planned Sunday night that I was planning on going to, a fun dress-up at the Pirate Party. It's sold out now, I guess. I debated going, but by the time I figured out what I wanted to do, it was sold out. That should be an awesome show. I'm jealous. I know. Josh, I have been to the Belly Up twice. So once to go see Pretty Lights, which was one of my all-time favorite shows, and then my all-time favorite show, I got to see Chris Cornell do a solo set for almost three hours. No opening, no anything. He just got out there with an acoustic guitar and started playing and singing, and it was the most fantastic experience I've ever had in the tiniest little venue ever. to make Jack White. To me, Jack White has always looked like Johnny Depp cosplaying as Michael Cera. Wow, you nailed it. Actually, that is what Jack White looks like.
    16:10
    I like it. So, long story long, I am not going, I think, anymore to Teal This Is Thing. I'm going to be kind of in the area. Like, I think it's only an hour out of the way. depending on what time I get back into Denver it seems really, really unlikely. I'd be trying to fit way too much in there. God, I hate missing it. But there's a lot of stuff. Yeah, and then a big pirate party happening in downtown Denver afterwards. You could bring Jack White to Geolis' thing if I could talk him into it.
    16:49
    I don't know anything about Jack White so I feel like I would be an inappropriate person to suggest that because I wouldn't, like, I don't know anything about music, so I couldn't even have a conversation. If he wanted to talk pinball, I'm all in. But if he wanted to talk about guitars or music or the current state of the music industry, which I imagine someone like him probably wants to do, yeah, not happening. If he wanted to talk about software development, I also feel like I'd have a chance. Maybe managing teams of software developers, I feel somewhat knowledgeable about that at this point as well. He grew up in Detroit, used to upholster furniture, and he wanted to be a priest before he started playing music. Oh. Well, in that case, yeah. I have a decent amount of experience with religion. Maybe. Maybe there's something there.
    17:40
    And Detroit. I feel like we could all just rip on Detroit. Alright, let's do this I'm in So close Alright, we're going to grab our spotted shot there And we're going to grab our second spotted shot And now we're going to start our mission. Three shots right there. Super easy. Barely an inconvenience. It's funny to me how pop punk bands of the 2000s would be offended if you called them emo, but now they're leaning into the emo stuff harder. Josh, I actually had that conversation on Facebook. It ended up going to like 30 or 40 comments because I thought Fall Out Boy was emo, and somebody pointed out that they are not emo. But here's the thing. They may not want to be called emo, but in the same way that I don't say Jif, I call them Gifs. Just because the creator of the Gif decided he wanted it to be pronounced Jif. But it's not the Jaffical user interface. It's a graphical or graphical interface format or something like that. It's not Jaffical, right? So we're not going to pronounce it Jif. Hi, Eligos.
    19:03
    Fob isn't the textbook definition of emo. Sure, and I get that. but they also wore a lot of eyeshadow. Does that count? Yet in their most recent music video, they traveled to Emo Island, okay? They were more ballcore with pop elements. That's a lot of hair. I feel like going over eyes and a lot of eyeshadow. Guy Liner, there you go. I have nothing against Guy Liner. I just feel like it's indicative of emo music.
    19:38
    All right, what do we need to hit now? We can do an encounter. Let's do that. That's fun. Check out that camera over there on the right. Look at that. Look, it's rotating.
    19:54
    Look it. Right there. I have nothing against Skyliner dice. I think it makes people look awesome.
    20:08
    All right, game. I see what you're trying to have me do here, which is drain. There we go. Okay, we got it. We got it. Oh my god, there's more?
    20:44
    Okay, we're gonna hit it again. Got it. It makes me look like a raccoon. I can honestly say I don't think I've ever wore eyeliner, but it's been one of those things where I'm like, you know, one day I'm gonna do the eyeliner thing and look that cool.
    21:03
    Base cone thing. um oh wait of course that was also when I had my black hair with the white skunk stripe a la Sweeney Todd that's an interesting look to go for but yeah I can respect that uh I would suggest you look into the Cliffy protector kit for this that left ramp cracks real easy okay done I will send off something to Cliffy I I have uh like I almost have credit with Cliff on uh on Cliffy's I have purchased Cliffies for so many games. All right, we're done with that first mode. I'm going to spot a couple of shots here again.
    21:45
    That works out really well. I'm going to do that from now on. Mental note, next band name has to be Cliffie and the Protector Kid.
    21:55
    I like it. A little less consistent. It's fine. Oh, no. Let's try it again. TK-24601. TK, how you doing?
    22:21
    I let that walk the plank. I was not ready. I was not ready for that. I feel like TK24601, that's like the call sign of somebody from Star Wars.
    22:39
    TK24601, who's your handler? All right, we're ready for a multiball. which is fine I got I'm gonna go right ramp left ramp
    23:16
    okay we're going to do that yes and wow that was that was I've had better Got it. Doing well. It is. Plus Gene Valjean from Les Mis. I have never seen Les Mis, but I have heard wonderful things.
    23:48
    Let's go ahead and grab extra ball. Got it. Got it, got it, got it, got it. Good, good, good. Cool. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. No doubt.
    23:59
    Let's see here. Do I start the multiball? Yes, we start the multiball. Is that Andy Samberg? That is who I was quoting just then.
    24:29
    All right, we're cool. We're a cool game. Calm it down. We're going to do that. Wow, that was... I've had better.
    24:59
    All right, we're cool. We're cool. What do I need? I need to backhand that. There we go. Super Spider Award!
    25:13
    That was great. Somebody just did something. Alright, so I'm going to drop that upper flipper Okay, and now it went purple I think I got it once
    25:54
    Cool. We're cool. We're cool. Um, what am I gonna do here? So I'm gonna drop that upper flipper again. Somebody just did something, by the way. Beznet, thank you so much for that follow. I'm gonna drop that upper right flipper.
    26:08
    We're gonna hit this again. Wow, that's worth two million. Is that Jay-Z? I think Jay-Z is here. Hi!
    26:42
    That's heavy. Oh, you know what? We've got a jackpot over here. Oh, well, I'm stuck. I have... I'm holding two pinballs. Two million all day. Dr. Curlytech, We're making some progress here. Hey, TK, thank you. At first I thought it was blue from Foster's Home of Imaginary Friends. It is not. That would have also been pretty dope, as Dice said. Yeah, basically whatever Dice says, it probably falls in line with something I would say.
    27:09
    I realize I just said that, and that is probably not the case. I want to hit that super... Here we go, hit it.
    27:32
    Yeah! There we go. I'll take it, and... Almost got it three times. Or maybe two. I don't know how many times you can hit that. It was a decent amount, though. Jay-Z is always here as long as we keep her in our hearts in this economy I told them about the in this economy and uh but at what cost hey Kirk Hobbs how the heck are you doing uh good afternoon George do you still have your Godzilla I do not and it sucks because I kind of need a Godzilla in order to jump in on uh on Carl's uh pentastic not pentastic pin...
    28:25
    What is Carl's online tournament called for streamers? Marty saying, Mando, where pinball dreams die with a flamethrower. Not the case.
    28:41
    You can hit it as long as you keep the multiball. Fabulous for a... Pin clash. Thank you, Basetone. Thank you. That's what I needed. Alright, so we're going to do this up and around. No, we're not.
    28:55
    Alright, we're going to hit... No, I don't care about hitting that. Alright, what are we on? We're on level three for encounter one.
    29:07
    Alright, we hit... Level three is done. Encounter one is done. Hey, JV, the door's open. There it is, and... Yes! Alright, found that combo shot there. How come it left the... Kirk Hobbs, it left because I got a really good price for it. One, and two... I just... I wasn't all that excited about playing it.
    29:42
    Did you play it too much? No, I don't think so. I think it's just a game that I didn't appreciate in as much as I feel like everybody else is appreciating.
    30:00
    Wow. Come on, game. So, it's like you love the game you just feel like you didn't deserve to have it? Yep.
    30:08
    That's actually a really good way of saying it. Shut it. It's extra cold tonight. Filled. Sorry, it was extra cold. Oh, I don't need extra warnings.
    30:25
    I'm on ball three. I got an extra ball at some point, didn't I? Oh, yeah, dice. You should text AZ if you feel like it in order to help start coordinating for next week.
    30:46
    Raiders, 13 Raiders. Hey, RLM Amusements have just joined us. Thank you. Marty, thank you for the heads up.
    31:00
    All right, so we are in the Razor Crest. Hurry up if you're just joining us. And RLM, thank you so much for the raid. That is fantastic timing.
    31:11
    And, yeah, thank you very much. and Raiders. We are playing some Mandalorian here today We have I just actually touched the whole rig which is why it was shaking there for a second It will calm down eventually That was our first game so you haven missed much
    31:27
    It's extra cold tonight. I think this game is appreciated like milk. Ooh, yes! Good call, TK. They could be Tusken Raiders. I feel like when they come in while we're playing this, it has to be the... I can't make that sound. Some people can really make that sound well. I am not one of those people. Paladin was hosting the RLM tourney. Awesome. That's great.
    31:52
    Marty, was that then a virtual tournament or was that a physical tournament? Hi, guys. Did you want to get in on a game? No, that's not right.
    32:04
    Sure. You have to tell me what to do. Are you sure that's not right? Oh, yeah, that is it. Okay. Yeah.
    32:11
    Our area code is very similar. And you said you're in? You want to just play a solo game? What are you going to do? Oh, you won't like that. What was that, mango? Yeah, definitely no mango. Where is your cup holder? Physical in the Michigan area. That's awesome. It's right here. You need to install a cup holder. You have them. You are not wrong. A cup holder would make things so much better. I'm right. You're not wrong. You're right. Hey, somebody just did something. Our Lemon Movement, thank you so much for that, Father. Hi.
    32:45
    That was a very quick double drain. It's okay. Ball two. Sometimes we don't have good ball ones, and you know what we do? We shake it off, and we have the memory of the goldfish, right?
    33:00
    Although I don't know that it's been 12 seconds yet. Oh, my gosh. It's been a minute. It's a hot minute. Wow. You did the same thing twice. Fudge.
    33:15
    Round three. I suggest when that ball comes all the way around that you do not just hold up the left flipper.
    33:23
    Yep, we are located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and did a flipper frenzy. You do a flipper frenzy every Thursday. We're signing off, and thank you for Amanda. Hey, RLM, great to hear, and that's in Grand Rapids, Michigan. You guys do a flipper frenzy every Thursday. That seems like a lot of work. I am interested in checking that out. Is it Thursday? It is Thursday. Oh, wow. This week went by. Borg Dog, welcome. All right, so what am I aiming for? Dice says, it's okay, Jay-Z. My ex told me that quick double drains happen to everyone now and then.
    34:02
    It doesn't happen that often. It is a big deal. Marty wants to do space once more. Maybe a shimmy on the way out, too. Nice. Good shot. Left ramp. Yeah, there it is. See that upper play field? Oh, yeah. I control that.
    34:19
    This game, game you mean. You know what we do? Oh, we don't have a good ball once we reset. Hey, all in gerb. Allen, Allen gerb. All in gerb. I'm going to say it's all in gerb. Welcome. And all in gerb wants to play sexy. It's been a while. How you doing? At league, my ball one on this is around 400K. The next ball was 240 million. You got this, homegirl. You want to go one more? Yeah. Allinger B. Okay, I was way off, but Allinger, welcome to the stream.
    34:51
    That's right. I didn't know it was going well. All right. Very similar to my maiden name. Oh, you're me.
    34:57
    Oh, biscuit. No. It's fine. I'll, I'll, yep, nope. JC, fault it, fault it. I'm not with you. I know, but you're not with me. I don't want to take your crap.
    35:12
    Dexy, it's been nutty lately. How's Stuff and Things? Stuff and Things are pretty good. Stuff and Things. Yeah, we got a new game. Maybe another new game coming soon. I'm yelling in JC's ear. Yeah, and I don't have any music. No, you don't. You should get me some music. I thought you were planning on hanging out.
    35:34
    No, you said you were coming over, but you weren't going to hang on stream. I don't have a second headset. Why don't you... You have five! I know. I don't know where the other Bluetooth headsets went.
    35:48
    Oh, cool. Yeah, I can do that. Hey, what is the potential new game? Zaxxy. So... Surprise. Ah! Yeah!
    35:57
    It depends on what gets announced and when. Denounced? Announced? Denounced. So, uh... Huh! Nap Arcade... Nope, not X-Men Game Show. NAP Arcade finally announced what they think the next CBC game is that, what's the name, Kaneda has been boasting about for a bit, which is Pulp Fiction. So I am in on a Pulp Fiction LP right now, and if that comes out sometime soon, like perhaps TPF, I might hold off and get at it. I'm not good. Faith Tone, I tried.
    36:38
    I have tried. If I can find, there's one local, but the person who's selling it is selling it at a ridiculous price. I can get a new in box blue LE for $7,500 right now.
    36:52
    And the person locally selling one that is used blue, they want $9,000 for it. They're so far off on the price, it's not even worth talking about. But I would love to have an old school Avengers. I actually really like that game. The old one? Yeah. Not the new one. The old one. Because you don't like the new one. I am not a fan of the new one.
    37:18
    All right. I'm trying to tear yours. Is that the game that you played, like, the final game? The one where we were hanging and having to play with Josh and Scott at the Pinball Olympics.
    37:38
    Oh, yep. But didn't you also play that at Dory? Wasn't that like your final game at Dory? That was the one I'm not a fan of that we played at Dory.
    37:50
    The one you are a fan of is at Pinball Olympics when we were suspended from the train. Yep, exactly. new one is really new new one is really rules heavy is really rules heavy ah rules like rules type and heavy yep very rules heavy and I like rules somewhat I would say I was big into depth and rules until until that game came out and I realized that there is a limit to the amount of rules I enjoy that I find pleasant to play.
    38:27
    I cannot take it up the middle. The spot I have Mando has a Hulk Avengers. I have no idea how to play that game. Based on, I also would need to learn how to play that game.
    38:38
    But I like it. I love the layout. To me, that is like the epitome of what I really enjoy from George Gomez.
    38:45
    Who's George Gomez? George Gomez is the designer of Deadpool. He's a vice president at Stern. He did Corvette. He did the original Avengers. He did Batman 66. He did the new
    39:00
    He also did the new 007 layout So probably avoid trapping up while you have a flashing shoot against in a multiplayer Just do things. Have fun. I mean imagine what it would be like to have fun playing Tetris What?
    39:25
    I mean, eventually it gets to a point where you do you and whatever you want to do. Oh, thank you. Nice day.
    39:35
    Notice that shoot again is gone. Yep. Notice. Ah! Did you just bark at the game? Yep. Joe Stope, welcome. The latest TPN podcast, George has been going over so much.
    39:55
    Sorry, the latest George Gomez, that is. Oh. The latest TPN podcast, George has been going over so much. I'm assuming the latest TPN podcast has been going over George Gomez a bunch? Ah, that he has been their topic. Yes. You have an extra ball right there. Excellent.
    40:19
    George likes rules. Wait, what was that? George likes rules so much he hired an electrician with a warrant out for his arrest.
    40:26
    I remember that. I do, too. Holy cow. Dexy, Rush and AIT are too much for rules. Dexy, I really like Rush. Rush, to me, is the exact maximum amount of rules I ever want to deal with. When it works. When it works, yep.
    40:44
    Hulk kept trapping the ball under his hand last time I played it. Base Tone, that is the problem with that game and why you don't see a lot of them out there, is that the design was great, but so many of those games don't play well, and they have to be kind of fixed to play nicely.
    41:04
    And you constantly get pinballs walking off the flippers here. So there are a lot of adjustments needed for that game.
    41:12
    So you've got a mission on that scoop over there. What's the scoop? The one that says the flashing yellow right there. Fudge! You gotta shoot again because you got that extra ball. That's a kid. The scoop is the thing that goes into and it stays right there and then it kicks it back out. You should just focus right there because when you do that, I'm okay. Okay, I'm gonna focus on you. And it's not you, it's me.
    41:40
    So either, I would say either an old school Avengers, if we really think we're going to get Pulp Fiction I might hold out for that and there's another enemy that would absolutely love to get a Walking Dead right now again and just cover it when Zoe is here ooh we almost got her noise noise I'm so bad at that you are wildly out of control right now Yes. Well, I thought that's what you liked.
    42:17
    Ha! All right. Flipper's up there. It's going to drop it. Hold the flippers up, so that way, there you go. Hold it. So you trap immediately. Now you want to hit the two yellow dots.
    42:30
    Ha ha ha ha ha ha! It's so good. So good. We all start that way? This is, like, what, your third time playing this game? I don't know if I've ever played this game. I mean, you played it three times tonight, right? Oh, yeah.
    42:48
    Yeah, because I don't know if I played it the last time you had it at the apartment. Nope. You're right, Jay-Z. Fudge does sound good right now.
    43:02
    Ooh, and then what about Galactic Tank Force? I mean, we all know that Joel from Triple Dream is in on that game.
    43:12
    Someone needs to re-theme the Walking Dead with it to smirk. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. Ty, 860 welcomes. I know, Galactic Tank Force hype. Valhalla, CMK.
    43:56
    If Galactic Tank Force is even half as cool as it sounds like it could be, I'm buying it. Ty, this isn't my favorite game. LOL.
    44:08
    Ty, I think this game is underrated, personally. Hi, Ty. Is that our Ty? I don't think that's our Ty. Our Ty is for Zilla. Oh. Well, now we know more than one Ty. Did you see all the booze? I did. Thank you. I noticed you picked a lot of kind of boozes that you like. Hard to tell ramps outside the middle. Yes. Well, you can backhand both ramps for at least a little bit. I do need to order the... I picked a lot of what? You picked a lot of booze that you like. I got the pineapple. And you got the rum mint mojito. Yeah, and... Watermelon, you know I don't like. Yeah, and then I got... The mother.
    44:55
    Seraph. Is it, though, underrated? It is. Seraph, have you played the premium? Premium is way more fun.
    45:03
    Ty, yeah, not confirmed. Ty did not change his name. That is a different Ty. Ooh, I do like those. The Hoya. Sparkling Cosmopolitan Go go go Nope There we go Focus There it is C&K I'm not a big fan of watermelons Ooh A Raspberry White Claw You know the Black Cherry is the best one though Is it? Yes I didn't know if you I remember you saying that tasted like medicine Playa Spirit Greyhound Vodka Grapefruit Chamomile and cardamom.
    45:43
    Okay, okay, okay. You're right, you're right. That's a solid mixed six-pack. I like it. Okay, I stand corrected.
    45:52
    Oh, is that what that was? The wine? Okay, got it. So you just got one thing that wasn't for me and I appreciate that.
    46:00
    The watermelon. Yep. I don't like when Baby Yoda throws the ball down the middle. Well, that's the thing. Sarah, Baby Yoda, You can control up there with a magnet where the ball goes.
    46:14
    Yeah. Anybody else from the 90s that hears this song and immediately wants to start dancing? Yeah. I was about to, like... Is it this? This thing? And then you've got to do that? This song actually reminds me of Fun with Dick and Jane, the Jim Carrey movie.
    46:31
    You've told me about that several times. I think I've seen it. I just don't remember it. Are you in? Yeah, please. Okay.
    46:39
    Not going to go for that. Now, screw it. Totally did it. Between this and the Night at the Rock, pretty calm.
    46:52
    Woo! Warning, warning. Tighten up those lights, bitch. Yep, yep. Red Viper, welcome. Oh, snap. I need to wake up my three-year-old son so he can dance to some Sandstorm. Yeah, Baby Yoda's the jerk for that. I don't like... Okay. Nope. Yum Claw. Yes. Tie. Oh, and we've got... What's that guy's name? bass tone? No, no, no. Ty posted the picture of the DJ who... Oh, Deadmau5. There we go. Deadmau5. Great.
    47:23
    All right. Now we need that shot. That's actually real. I've never heard the magnet is controllable before you said that. Weird. They didn't adjust that, advertise that more. Yep. I will show you guys once we hit a child. Wow, that sounds really... You're going to go pull Bachman?
    47:45
    Remember when Eric Bachman slapped the crap out of that kid on Silicon Valley for selling Richard's fake Adderall?
    47:56
    Yes, I do remember that. All right, we've got an encounter. Let's do that. That's actually real. LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL. It's definitely going to be in your quote book. In your quote book. Yes, yes. I don't want to hear the child. I also didn't know you could control the magnet, says Sarah. I'll believe it when I see it. All right, all right. Hit the kid again.
    48:25
    We've got great super softs here. Didn't know they allowed that kind of stream on Twitch. Discord. Hey, thank you for posting that Discord. If you're interested in chatting about pinball or perhaps one of the other, I don't know, like 40 channels we have of stuff, including books and movies and stream tech stuff.
    48:52
    Is Dice the Nightbot? Dice might actually be the Nightbot. Hey, mates of Squalito. Squalito, welcome. How was your evening? Is it evening by Squalito? I think it's actually morning by Squalito.
    49:11
    Step right up, ladies and gentlemen. You can beat that boy or hurl that girl. Okay. I can tell just based on the style of humor.
    49:27
    Good. Hey, how are you, Squalito? I want to hear love your hat thank you I like my hat too what is that oh it's hunter I just want to say that it was my kid who got you into cooking yep thank you for the cookie monster hat yep A lot of hat love going on in chat tonight. That is his classic pinball hat. This is the hat I've been wearing for a while. Really? Yeah.
    50:17
    I feel like you need to get MJ a Jaws hat with a shark bite. Yes. Yeah, MJ absolutely needs a hat. Oh, I picked it. Why would you pick it? It's in my waist. Hey, Mae, what do you think of Lord of the Rings Pinball? Squalito. It is a very fun game, and it's one that works well in a collection. For me, it is not a game I feel like that streams very well. Which game is that? Lord of the Rings. You've had it before, right? I have had it before. And you beat it? I did not. You've had it recently, too. Mm-hmm. Like in the apartment? Mm-hmm. It will teach you to count, yes. Is that the game that you were playing when you were super drunk and, like, on the, like, drinking screen? And, like, you messed up counting, like, five times? No, that was... There's a video of that, actually. And no, that was, um, that was The Walking Dead. Ah-ha. aesthetically not one of my favorites but the amount of things to do makes it S tier in my book S tier I gotta wait is it gonna move it's not gonna move excellent for counting by 100 250 or 500 more it's a great game says well uh says Sarah choose slowly though Dr. Curly Tech Or up to seven, of course.
    51:52
    Now, The Walking Dead, I feel like is hands down, pants up, one of the greatest games ever made. That said, I really like this game.
    52:09
    Did you see my obscenely high pants? No. You didn't see my obscenely high-waisted pants? No, I didn't. I was afraid for a second that your pants maybe had smoked a little bit too much weed. Yeah. Mando.
    52:27
    What is Mando, what is the OG one's name? What? Boba Fett. Oh. Oh, Rando, no, what is his... Rando Cardisian? Lando from Star Wars. Okay.
    52:51
    What is his actual name? Okay, are you saying Mando and Lando rhyme? Is that what you were getting at? No, I was thinking of the guy that... I don't know that actor's name. But what was the character's name? Oh, Lando Calrissian. Yep. Yeah, but I couldn't get Rando Cardisian out of my head. Yep. I completely understand that. Which, oh, I can get that. It's Billy Dee Williams. Billy Dee. Billy Dee on this round.
    53:30
    All right, really need to hit this right ramp. It is so hard. I preferred him swinging Colt 45. Didn't Dave Chappelle do a whole thing with Billy Dee Williams?
    53:43
    Wouldn't surprise me. Do you think there's a conspiracy for something against Mando? And turtles? It kind of feels that way. Those are... Oh, great, we got the child lit. All right.
    53:57
    You got the child lit, huh? Oh, my God. And then you got him lit. All right, we're going to hit this left orbit. We probably did. Before we had names, everyone just coded the Chappelle Show to each other.
    54:16
    Got it. All right, watch, watch. I can control it. See? You just shook the machine. Which I mean, I guess. No, I didn't. By shaking the machine, you did control it.
    54:29
    That was not me shaking the machine. You are throwing people off. That child is lit. Squalito. I want a JP premium so bad. I don't know when that's going to happen. Probably when I get rid of Rush. Alright, Seraph, did you see it? We were able to control where the ball, I mean, slightly control. Control in the same way, once again, that you can do it in Twilight Zone. That's mind-blowing. That's like saying if you want your bonus to be bigger, you just play the game.
    55:03
    Yes. Yeah, that's like stuff that's happened tonight. Squaldito, I really like Rush. I'm just, uh, I'm not willing to keep Rush as an LE, like, when it could be two games. Control. Influence? Sure. Okay, based on, I'll go with Influence. Whatever. It's better than nothing.
    55:39
    Do you see how often we are live catching, by the way? You can't do that with precision flippers. Why did we lose so much light all of a sudden?
    56:04
    No, we didn't. I don't know. I'm full of it. Oh, the lights on the play field just went out. Tank Beric first try!
    56:19
    Alright, you guys ready for this? Tank Beric? And we're in a mode. Just press Tank Beric! Oh my God! It's like the Polaroid of Manda. Pretty self explanatory. Dang, ferret. Ferret. Ferret!
    57:07
    Stuart! Dang. Ferret. I'm emotional. Ferret. Getting rid of Russian Canada is like a five year prison sentence No, you did not hear me say that No, I did not, but that's really good
    57:45
    That felt good Are we fighting? Defeat the Krayt Dragon, shoot Orbits Ramps build Veskar And we've got Hunterling You were intimate with somebody and they started going, dang, parrot. Dang, dang, dang, dang, parrot.
    58:00
    That. Parrot. Oh, yeah. I've had better. He's sprinkling chocolate. Wow, that was a decent bonus. Do you have an extra ball? I should have an extra ball. I do have an extra ball. Did you see the new Lord of the Rings Lego set? No, I did not. What's interesting?
    58:35
    Okay, okay, okay. 6,167-piece Rivendell. Wow. What do we have? 410 Beskar. Let's see. Let's do that again, shall we? There we go.
    58:55
    All right. 410. Do we go for the question mark? We can't get Dank Farrick again. Rising Phoenix. So we just completed an encounter level.
    59:15
    Here's a blog or Facebook or Twitter. What do we need? We need that shot on the fly right ramp. I don't want this ambush. Get out of here.
    59:40
    Oh, so check this out. That's now moving, and we can time our shot, so that way we get it more level. When it's more level, it's easier to hit the shots.
    59:57
    Just so you know, chat, George smells amazing. He smells really good. Just thought that they would want to know how amazing you smell. Delicious.
    60:08
    Not watering. Thank you. One day I'll get my life-size Tom Bombadil Lego set. Please don't. Woo! Level two. Wow. Finger licking doing.
    60:28
    That's what I said. Well, thank you. And he said it just like that. Just like that, huh? All right, this is, for whatever reason, a hard shot. Now we're in multi-ball. We're in a mode.
    60:44
    That's hot. It's not going to give me that back, huh? It's fine. We will get an extra ball. There it is again.
    61:40
    Come on, move. Move, move, move, move, move. One more. There we go. One shot.
    62:02
    We got our adder ball. Man. Alright, alright, we're cool. We're cool. Alright All right Whoo! I mean, this is a...
    63:03
    I so messed that up. So at least that was doubled. Alright, so we're back. Oh, wow, that was 115 million. Super jackpot. I'll take that.
    63:27
    Armor adds to ball save. What is this? Flamethrower. Oh, we can get another flamethrower. Hey, look at that. We got another flamethrower.
    63:39
    All right, so we've got mission there, and we've got level two of our second encounter. Now we can start our last mission.
    64:01
    Good. We might be getting to... I like those odds at the very least here. Armor. How many weapons does she need?
    64:12
    Thank you, by the way, Dice, for the Tom Bombadil Lego set idea. That sounds awful. All right, I'm going to be patient. And it's going back. Good, good, good.
    64:31
    All right. Encounter number two is done. Uh, we're gonna go middle. Alright, now what do we need? Um, I don't know what's going on with that right orbit right now.
    65:01
    Let's try that right ramp again. Got it. Hey, guys, I like those odds as lit. There's one on the fly. Can we grab two?
    65:37
    All right, now we just need to hit that and we get our first mini wizard mode. JC, I'm so sorry that you're just sitting there.
    65:46
    Tess Bishop, welcome to the stream. All right, this is where it's at. This game is fantastic. Sorry I clapped in everybody's ears. This game is fantastic, and a huge part of what makes it fantastic, it is some of the best mini wizard modes in pinball.
    66:03
    First shot. and second shot, third shot on the way here. We're going to get that back. And we immediately drain out of it.
    66:39
    VP fiends, you got here just in time for me to not make the three shots to get into phase two. So each mini wizard mode has three phases, and I think the third phase in each is always a multiball. Daisy, you are up. Okay.
    66:58
    Oh. Wow, this is not going to be anywhere near as interesting. You should look away. I'm going to look away.
    67:11
    All right, so what are you thinking right now? Me? Yes. Then I'm bloated. All right, so what are you thinking in terms of game strategy? Hey! To not do that. Okay, okay. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. No doubt. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, We need to get our next encounter. Let's do the thing. Good start, solid There's one There's that
    68:04
    Alright, we've got scope lit we need to hit this ramp a bunch of times to get... Oh, no. Encounters going. Instead, I'm going to go for the middle.
    68:21
    And there's that. Beautiful. I really don't care about hitting this target, so instead I'm going to hit the left ramp.
    68:35
    I can't believe I saved that. Let's try that left ramp again. Up and around. I'm going to continue working on this left ramp. Once again, trying to get into my third encounter. There it is.
    69:00
    The Razorcrest hurry up. Oh, it's going to force me to hit this target, huh? Maybe. Will it time out?
    69:10
    It targets. Oh, no. No, no, no. Alright, hit encounter. Got it. Alright, so we started our third encounter. We're going to be on the first level.
    69:34
    And it gave me easy mode. Starting. I'm going to keep doing, you know what I can do is also work on my multiball.
    69:51
    Yeah, all right, so this is moving. I'm going to be patient. Wait for it to go down. We're going to come back up. How do you guys like that extra camera down at the bottom? Is that helping? That sucked. And we're gonna go here. No idea what that was about. That was weird. But I'm gonna take it. Kiwi Frenzy camera looks great. Awesome. Hey, who do you think has these in stock. I bet nobody's, DMK. Darn it. So, I don't know how many more we need for that.
    70:39
    Oh, somebody just, whoa! Joe Hills, dropping 142 beautiful individuals on us. Hey, Joe JoeHillsRaid. JoeHills, how the heck are you doing? Welcome. Boykitto. Unlimited, uh, limited, I don't know what that last word is, but unlimited. That's what we're going with. JoeHills, it's flipping really well. We've been to one, uh, that one there. Unlimited, oh, creativity. It's unlimited creativity. I got there eventually. Creativity. Sure. Yeah, it could be that too. I got there. I got there. I got there first. I feel like I'm a pro. By the way, it's seeing license plates and figuring out what those are.
    71:34
    Hi, Sammy. Welcome. All right. We're going to be patient. We're going to wait for this to go up. Hi, Joe.
    71:49
    I don't know if you guys can hear me back there. This is a better microphone for picking up long-distance sounds. Hey, JdubNuke, welcome. Also, PoolSharkWizard and Boykiddo and Unlimited Creativity, thank you all for the follows and welcome.
    72:07
    What do we need here? We're actually pretty dang close to a multiball. two more to light it and we're on our third encounter here oh wow we have to hit every single one of these we're just gonna I'm gonna wait until it gets flat and then I'm gonna flail around are you guys ready for flailing let's see what this looks like that somehow worked I don't know how it works No, no, no. We're going to be patient again. Wait for it.
    72:48
    Okay, nope, not right now. Not right now. I missed it again. We're going to be patient. Okay, go quick.
    73:02
    Ah! Don't panic flail. I like it. All right. Same thing up the middle. All right, we are ready for our multiball. Can we do an encounter in a multiball? I think we can.
    73:26
    So I'm going to do the second multiball. Notice down here at the bottom, this is our progress on the game.
    73:34
    Pirates! Hit lit aeroshots for wards or spinners to stabilize. So, initially, I'm just going to have some fun here.
    73:58
    I'm going to let those go. Those are going up and around. All right, that's all we're getting there. We just need to make sure that we don't double drain.
    74:16
    We didn't double drain, so I'll take it. And now we are two of the three done for Razorcrest multiball. We're still one last light on encounters. Let's see if we can grab it right now.
    74:36
    I missed it again. Wow, that is really tough. Wow. Whew! Joe, have a great night. Thank you again for the raid. I hope your stream was awesome, and I hope your progress on the pinball game is going swimmingly. Got it! We're in our bonus level now.
    75:06
    And that is it. So that is our third. We just lit our second mini wizard mode. You have what I want.
    75:18
    How do we get you have what I want? We just need to relight an encounter, and we hit that left ramp a bunch of times.
    75:38
    All right, here we go. I pick a redhead, Sammy. Yes, my hair is very red. How many more? Two more to start.
    76:03
    One more, and... I tilted. Oh, George. You just went the second mini wizard out. I didn't do it this time.
    76:23
    Ow. Also, I may have moved that pinball machine a lot. I'm just going to slowly move it back in frame.
    76:35
    Cool whip. Jedi, how you doing? Hi, Jedi. There we go. All right. Jay-Z, you are up. Oh, this should be quick.
    76:48
    That's what he said. Why does George smell so good? Inquiring minds. Once known. Once known or want to know. I'm assuming, yes. Yeah. Love one baby Yoda in the latest enemies. You hate to see it. I know, Sammy. It was so close. So close! And that was ball three, right? Yep, that was definitely ball three.
    77:15
    Nice. Good save. You nudged it. That was good. Nicely done. Sorry. Sandcake hand-snipe. It's all good. We got there. this has got to go to Joe Hills I think I don't know how many Joes we have Joe Soap and Joe Hills I feel like those are the two Joes we have so I'm going to go Joe assuming Joe Hills Joe I don't remember your initials but you're getting in here as Joe Sammy I must head out as well just finished streaming before Joe did oh Sammy perfect timing next time we'll use that I'm going to go up to that Okay. Thank you.
    78:04
    I will see you in a bit. Okay. We are at 1120, 40 minutes. Good night, Gene. And Sammy, have a great night as well.
    78:14
    All right. Do we think we can do it again? Follow many close live catch attempts with the dead bounce to recover.
    78:24
    Many close live catch attempts with the dead bounce. Oh, yeah. Dead bounce. I usually try and dead bounce where possible. But on this game, I feel like I've got that live catch pretty well nailed down.
    78:39
    The hit new children's book, Goodnight Stream. I kind of like that, actually. Yeah, good song, good music. We got the old school 90s techno mix for tonight.
    79:01
    All right, what are we doing here? Oh, the child is... Child is lit. Here you go. You want to see it again? You want to see what... We controlled the ball.
    79:31
    A little bit. There was... It wasn't a complete lack of control. There we go. All right. Good song, good music, better ingredients, better pizza. Papa John's. Nice. Thank you. Sir Snarf. Alex, how the heck are you doing?
    80:01
    Good man. You died on the second live catch attempt there, which can happen often in play. Yep.
    80:18
    All right, so we're on to level two. I think we're good there. Uh, what do we need to hit? Oh, the blue just increases some kind of value.
    80:39
    Alright, we're back up in the encounters. Uh, Sir Snarf, thank you. Thank you. Trying really hard. Got the fun jersey on this evening. Um, this, it's Mandalorian. So that, that, this is the new pin.
    81:01
    All right, we're back up there. I'm going to complete some level two action here. How's that camera looking? Camera looks awesome.
    81:13
    On to level three. Up and around. Final shot. Right there. Very precise. It is. This game, I feel like, is made for people who like to trap up and hit a shot. Trap up and hit a shot.
    81:39
    That is where I feel like you can excel in this game. Level three. I'm going to try that again. Nope. that'll work alright we're on to our mission number two we're almost done with our first encounter and we're always just a few shots away from Razorcrest Multiball let's see what happens I'll take half a point I did guess that you'd get Star Wars you did and I'll give you that half a point it was Star Wars it's the Star Wars universe alright so that was a mode shot and it got us up here for another encounter.
    82:31
    Completed. Oh, encounter one is done. We're now ready for encounter number two. We got it. Man. It's like all of a sudden I can't backhand that shot. All right, we're going to try and forehand it.
    83:11
    That always works. There it is. Oh, and we timed it out. That's great. Find the asset total. Oh, so we didn't find the asset, is I think what happened there. So we're going to... Oh, no.
    83:34
    There's one on the fly. That stinks. That was very dangerous. Also, something else that makes me really like the premium, this little flip back ramp that happens right here. I like it. I like everything about this game. This game is a lot of fun. The premium is definitely the way to go.
    83:59
    Let's see here. Going through budgeting out the new stream studio for Airship's new office. Ever heard of the Z-Cam E2C? I have not, Sir Snarf. But I'm interested. You know me. I geek out about streaming tech all the time.
    84:26
    Okay, and Jenga. We're going to get in here. Let's grab this. We did get the Atta Ball, which is the ending rifle, which we can use when we get into a multiball.
    84:43
    We've got extra ball lit. We're on ball two. You know what? I'm going to go ahead and grab it. We did good. We did good. I'm pretty happy with what just happened there. This is our third mode. You know what? I'm going to go ahead and bring a multiball in. Let's do it. Let's do it. Sooner rather than later.
    85:26
    So we've still got our shoot again for at least a little bit. And, well, we lost that one. We're going to go, oh, no.
    85:53
    Huh. Let's go. And that's going right down the middle. Can we get up? I think we can. Alright.
    86:46
    Does that encounter two... Oh, wow. Encounter two is done. our foundry is back open at 300. Let's go ahead and do it. Let's see what we get with another question mark. I kind of like this question mark strategy. Oh, I forgot about the button that adds a ball.
    87:13
    We lift into third encounter level. That's great. Um, this mo- I guess we can keep working on this. Uh, let's see here. Uh, being that video games are more popular than ever with unheard of numbers, wouldn't a video game IP be incredibly interesting for a modern pin? Yes. The problem is actually getting that IP.
    87:41
    Darn it. Oh, there we go. Like, the ball actually got caught. Encounter level one not complete. That stinks.
    88:04
    But third mission is done. I mean, the Godfather is cool, but... Yeah, Godfather doesn't do anything for me as a theme. Chaotix, welcome to the stream. Have my executives been asking me what it would take to get Wayfinder made into a pin? Ooh.
    88:22
    It would probably take interest and then finally a really good deal for licensing. All right, what do we need? We've got our final encounter modes. We also need to light our next mission, which we can do both from here. I'm going to try and hit it.
    89:12
    Whatever. You get one shot, except I got 17. Uh, do we go for the encounter or the mission? I think we try and grab that mission first.
    89:30
    There it is. Yeah! Yeah! Alright. Sir Snarf, do you ever have time for video games, George? I do for Hogwarts Legacy. but I haven't spent anywhere near as much time. But that's going to be, I think, the game this weekend. I'll likely be streaming. I don't get a lot of time, though, for video games. Honestly, the little bit of time I get for gaming is almost 100% dedicated to pinball.
    89:57
    Pokemon Chaotix, the Pokemon pin would kill. Gosh darn it. But whatever, we completed the mission, So there's that.
    90:14
    Would people involved with video games be easier to work with than old world movie type people? Hogwarts is good. I got put in Ravenclaw Chaotix. I haven't even made it to the sorting yet.
    90:38
    All right. Are we still on one? Yes, we are. And it's going to continue moving. And final mission start. So there's five.
    91:03
    All right. Now we're, for whatever reason, that was a mode shot, and we're here in our mission. Sorry, in our encounter.
    91:15
    I'm just going to be really, really patient. I got to say, on top of that, it felt very wood choppy when we were playing this on the pro. You don't get that wood choppiness feel at all on the premium. All right, level two is done. On to level three.
    91:45
    Two more. I kind of got a little impatient. It's fine. It's fine. I know you're a fan. It is a ton of fan service. Yep, I am. I'm excited to actually throw a few hours into it this weekend. And what's cool if I can play it with my kid. That's it. All right, so we have completed all of our encounters. We're ready to get to You Have What I Want. So we just have to hit that a lot.
    92:27
    And we're going to do it over and over. Three more to start. Cool, cool, cool. Two more to start. On the fly, going to go up the middle again. Totally. last one that is it you have what I want phase one oh and it trapped a ball up there look at it so that's not me I'm not trapping the ball it is it is trapping the ball all right right here we're gonna go there I'm gonna try and backhand this yeah and
    93:43
    Got it. And now we hit that shot. Okay. Oh no What happened Four more to complete phase I going to be patient here This is so cool
    94:31
    Oh, it's stuck! Okay. This is so fun! All right, gimme, gimme, gimme. Four shots left to complete.
    95:50
    How did that not trigger? Oh, I added, I didn't realize I could use my add-a-ball. What? Oh, I don't have to do it up there.
    96:21
    I get it. I get it. I'm going to keep doing it up here. Being patient, being patient, being so patient. I know, that add-a-ball was awful.
    96:52
    All right, two more shots. All right, two more. Two more, three more. All right, whatever. I'm not going for the green ones anymore. get it get it yes okay whatever i should never have gone for those other shots okay get to the bridge shoot five orbits to complete blue shot
    97:55
    That thing. That felt pretty good. That was... I don't know if I can say I've had better. That was a lot of fun orbits to a middle shot there. Phase three is complete. That's what I'm saying. These mini wizard modes are great. Fuzzy cord welcome. Alright, defeat Mop Gideon Spear vs. Saber Uh, first shot Got it, second shot Third shot Alright, now we need that orbit So I'm gonna go there And Not good.
    99:45
    Did it not give it to me? Up and around. Let's see if we can hit this right orbit. Nope. Man. Got it.
    100:33
    One more. One more up the middle. Got it. We beat that mini wizard mode. That was great. Magneto, thank you.
    100:51
    Okay. Why is there a mission? Oh, we just completed I Like Those Odds. Second mini wizard mode started. Okay. Okay.
    101:13
    Brooklyn, there was a little bit. This is, yeah, feeling it. And we got good music going on right now. All right, second mini wizard mode.
    101:37
    That flipper is getting a little tired. Okay. First phase is complete. I know, I'm on a double. Yeah, that danger was totally worth it. Thank you, Hans. All right. Phase one complete. We're on to phase two. God, these mini wizard modes make this game.
    102:03
    Up and around. To the middle. Not good. I have a shoot again. What does that do? Oh, I got the Whistling Birds.
    102:32
    I'll take that. I didn't realize you could use that in your mini-wizard mode. Okay. And I think now we're on to phase three, which, if I remember correctly, is a multiball. Stack them and rack them.
    102:50
    Faith 2 complete. There we go. Just need the orbits. Orbits. Right orbit. Got it. That is done. Second mini wizard mode completed. Wow. I'm also really, Magneto, looking forward to the next season. We have a lot of Beskar. Can we light our extra ball?
    104:10
    Please light our extra ball. God, that would be amazing. We can light our extra ball. All right, we got our extra ball. We got our extra ball.
    104:36
    Yeah. All right. Now we need to start multiballs. So. How many more? I missed it. Something more.
    105:20
    All right, last one. All right, cool. We got a multiball. He smells good, has a pin he loves. Life don't get much better. It's the NK. Can't argue with that.
    105:45
    All right, I'm going to say something really awful, I feel like, Which is, what? I just got this game. I kind of don't want to beat it yet. I don't think it's actually going to happen, but just for the record, I really don't want to beat this game yet.
    106:19
    Okay, don't double drain. That's fine. We've got our super jackpot. Not good. We're fine. We're fine. I don't know what the significance of ambush is right now.
    106:56
    Take it while you can get it, Eloa. Might not get close again. Pit gods can be fickle. We haven't had this that long is the thing. All right, so now I need to get that shot over there. I need to get Hunter in order to restart my next Razor Crest. I could also go for the Child.
    107:11
    So let's do that. Watch up at the top. I can... Two bonus multipliers. All right, we got to hit that middle target.
    107:31
    Didn't quite get there, which is fine. You missed everything. Hey, Dropman Jorge. Thank you so much for that follow. What are we going to do here?
    107:44
    I need to hit that target. Not quite it. Or we could just drain and light the next one. That'll do it.
    108:33
    How many more? four more. And there we go. Well, that was still a really fun game. You missed everything. Yeah, that was still, that was, I'll take it. I'll take it. Yeah, God, this game is a lot of fun. And I can't say enough positive things about the, about the premium. Like, It is a very different game from the Pro. No lobster sticks to magnet. If you get to the wizard mode with a death save, that's not a wizard mode.
    109:15
    Also, who's the last person to do something here? We got, I think we hit up Joe. RLM Amusement. So we haven't done RLM yet. Let's go ahead and put RLM in here for the raid earlier.
    109:30
    RLM is going to be Grand Champ. I think we set Grand Champ on here a few different times. Joe Kale, I love that pin. Call it a power outlay then. It's fine. Test Bishop, thank you.
    109:48
    There we go. Need to dead bounce it over, baby. You got this. Test Bishop. Yeah. Good choices and bad choices. You know what? I will take the fact that that was for the, I think, second dedicated stream to actual play. I'll take that kind of progress. That was a lot of fun. And hopefully it got to show off how the game, I guess all the mini wizard modes and how involved those are. It was great. We actually made it through all the different levels of I like those odds and you have what I want. I can't believe the multiball was the last one that we went with.
    110:36
    Let's see here. Oh! No! I did not see any subs. I don't even have events for it. Oh my gosh. Play one more impossible mode. Ah. No. Wait, what time is it? It's 1152. Impossible. I don't even know what impossible mode is on this. Hold on. I don't have any of the events coming through.
    111:02
    no, Chaotix and, uh, wrong opinion, George. It's a good, it's a fun game. Escher, Escher, I, it's, I, we were at League last night, and I was trying to talk Escher into it. I'm like, no, no, no. The premium is enjoyable. I showed how you can control the magnet. And the fact that the upper play field doesn't feel like you're beating your head against a wall. Like, it's a challenge. And it's a fun challenge. up there.
    111:35
    I am so sorry. Evidently, I'm missing notifications on subs, and that sucks. But regardless, Alex and Chaotix, both, thank you very much. My hat's off to you for subbing. I don't have info on how many subs it is. I know it's both from both of you. It's been a while of maintaining subs, so that is appreciated. Welcome to the Panic Room, ad-free viewing, and the Shoei emotes. On that note, there's actually some updated artwork coming soon that I'm pretty excited about. Also, Robot Rock is playing continuously on a loop right now. I'm okay with that. I actually love this song. Hold both flippers. Nah, the anti... Oh, the anti-death save. Yeah, no, no, no. You can't... Okay. Impossible play, no trapping, and very hard for all. we'll give one agree, freemium is way better than pro on Nando's thank you lobster thank you what's a robo trock ok, nice, and I just figured out TBVH means to be very honest I made that up I knew it yeah, F no trapping so we're going to try it All right, we actually have to find our shots here. There it is.
    113:24
    That was... That was a little too much. There we go. We're going to get spotted that first mode shot. No, we're not. Oh! You don't get spotted anything on this. Hey, somebody just did something.
    113:59
    Stubbo is cool. Thank you so much for the follow. Oh, you can't see the pinball table. That would help. I'm killing it over here, though. Zoom. Enhance. Enhance.
    114:22
    Get up and around. Up and around. Give me that mode shot. Nope. I had Hunter going, though. Enhanced in this economy?
    114:39
    Yeah. But at what cost, Dice? But at what cost? Imagination. Yes. You used your imagination. Get up there.
    115:07
    There we go. I'm going to take a multiball. I'm going to do it. But I... Oh, I didn't... I didn't bring in a multiball?
    115:22
    I'll take it. Maybe we get some more fun stuff. And this is actually kind of a fun mode. Where you can't trap up.
    116:00
    Sure. Whistling birds. Mission Smart Bomb. You just wait. This is going to be that game where everyone's going to be like, everyone said it was bad.
    116:33
    But there was a few people who spoke positive about it. And eventually it'll be that like, oh, there wasn't a lot of them made.
    116:42
    I'm so full of it right now. But whatever. I can hope. Oh, man, you can't trap up here. I don't think I've ever had a longer time up there constantly flipping.
    117:21
    Got it, got it, we're good, we're good. Yes, I'm going to take it, I'm going to take it. When are you going to find a PSP? No, no, no, no.
    117:32
    Don't get me wrong, I want to Iron Battle you on that. I just don't want that game. Okay, we're taking it. Foundry, what are we going to get this time? Oh, the question mark only goes between the things that are lit.
    118:03
    Aw. I'm imagining I'm head boy, and I'm holding the Quidditch cup, and I'm shaking hands with Dumbledore, the mirror of Erised.
    118:16
    which for people who maybe don't know, it's desire backwards. I was going to say that was intentional. It really wasn't. I was trying to do a loop pass over to the other side. I did not get my timing right. But pinball is all about luck.
    118:38
    Impossible high score number three. I'm taking it. All right, Alex, what are your initials? I don't understand grown adults who are into Harry Potter. It's weird. I have no idea. ACC.
    119:04
    Together, we can celebrate mediocrity. Together. Oh, man, Snarf SNF would have definitely been in. There's Lobster. There's a lot more of that. if you keep going up, like, there's, it can't, it's kind of hard to see without taking the shirt off, but there's a, there's, there's a, there's a decent amount of tattoos, and, and at least three of them are Harry Potter. I don't, if, if you don't, you, if you don't get it, you probably just don't get it, and they're, right, take the shirt off, that is definitely the, the, the way to get banned off of Twitch, I'm sure. There's no pool in here. Terry Red, yeah. Terry, I have Hogwarts Legacy right there, and we will stream it. There you go. Sir Snarf, if we can get a hot tub stream going, then I'll take the shirt off.
    119:57
    Chaotix is going to make it rain bits. Hot tub and pool as ASMR. You should get a full-time Bombadil back? For anyone who doesn't know, I am not a fan of Tom Bombadil, nor the Eagles in Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit. I don't know that Tom Bombadil, no, Tom Bombadil was not in The Hobbit, but he was in Lord of the Rings. And those are what we call narrative devices that help a bad author get out of sticky situations they get their characters in. Rather than letting them figure things out, there is a magical thing like the eagles, which will come and save them every time he gets them into a crappy situation. Yes, there's Starf. TPF is happening. I have my hotel. I don't have tickets for TPF, so I'm gonna have to buy those at some point, but, uh, but I will be there, and we're not streaming this year, so I have the opportunity to just hang and have fun. Uh, yes, Sir Snarf, we're gonna need I feel like another late night drinking games hosted hotel party at some point Deus Ex Machina You're referring to the game? That one And you're not working it. Okay, congratulations George, your problem with Tom Bombadil is the savior in every episode of Star Trek. Actually, it's a huge reason I wasn't a fan of the next generation I only watched the first season and I've heard great things about every season after that, but I was so not a fan of TNG after watching the first season, I gave up on it. No, oh, the literary device of a deus ex machina.
    121:34
    I don't remember the literary device of a deus ex machina. Hold on. Hey, Google, define deus ex machina.
    121:52
    Yes, that is exactly what it is. That is the author of Lord of the Rings survived on Deus Ex Machina.
    122:05
    The first season is pretty not great. I'll give you that one. Hopefully I tripped everyone's Google Home.
    122:18
    What time is it? It is after midnight. We did the thing. And we made progress, made it closer to This is the Way than we had the previous night. Ow, shoulder.
    122:29
    Get back into position. We're fine. We're all fine here. And, y'all, that's it. Let's go find someone to raid and send all this beautiful raid love off to. Oh, yeah, that's a good point. So next week's schedule, because I'm going out to District 82 next week to play in some tournaments. It's going to be super fun. but I will not be streaming next Thursday, and I think I'm scheduled to stream Monday night.
    123:22
    you
