TL;DR

Guardians of the Galaxy VPX v2.0 sneak peek shows massive homebrew code/asset expansion with arcade-quality features.

Summary

Mystery Pinball Theater 3000 streams a sneak peek of Guardians of the Galaxy v2.0, a comprehensive VPX (Virtual Pinball X) remake by a homebrew development group. The new version adds approximately 10,000-18,000 lines of code and 500+ MB of assets compared to the original, implementing missing features like full combo systems, proper mode sequencing, character switching, and extensive music integration including the 'Cleland mod.' The stream demonstrates advanced PUP (Pup Pack) video integration and compares design decisions (spinners vs. Avatar Groot hands) while showcasing improved rule depth rivaling commercial Stern releases.

Key Claims

  • The original Guardians VPX had approximately 10,000 lines of code missing and 500 MB of missing assets; v2.0 adds 10,000-18,000 additional lines of code

    high confidence · Host and Fishbowl discuss code additions: 'I left out, I don't know, about 10,000 lines of code and about 500 meg of assets... we're about 18,000 lines of code... about 12... 18 wow'

  • The development group spent approximately two years iterating on the table, including research visits to Free Gold Watch arcade venue and detailed analysis of tournament player strategies

    high confidence · Host states: 'I watched almost two years to today August 11th 2020 i streamed Guardians of the Galaxy for the first time... I took a lot of trips to free all watch. I set up my stream on a weekend... I'm gathering intel for our little group'

  • The v2.0 version includes all Cleland music (community-created Guardians soundtrack additions) and implements proper combo systems inspired by studying competitive player Escher's gameplay

    high confidence · Host discusses Cleland mod: 'every... The old version had some Cleland music, but as you'll listen to here, we have all the Cleland music' and notes studying Escher: 'watching and listening to Escher talk about things like for example um how Escher uses a Hadron to increase the value of the next shot. So we now have combos'

  • The v2.0 table uses PUP (Pup Pack) video integration in ways that stress-test and potentially exceed the system's design limits

    high confidence · Host notes: 'the fishbowl is like punishing PUP... we're we're we're like destroying as you guys remember um VPW right... Nailbuster's like, you guys are going to break it if you keep doing this'

  • The table includes spinners instead of Avatar Groot hands because the hands obstruct playfield visibility and insert reads

    high confidence · Host explains design decision: 'those hands were just like... you can't see you can't look under and see the inserts and yeah and the pen so it just didn't work out the hands get in the way for me i don't like the hands um but so you guys will be happy to know this has spinners'

  • The development group consists of a core team called 'Fishbowl,' 'Ken Swift,' 'Mr. H,' and 'Harlan' with additional contributors credited in the game files

Notable Quotes

  • “Guardians of the Galaxy that you have currently, no offense, delete it. Definitely. Delete it. Take it off your cabinet. Because this is the new Guardians of the Galaxy.”

    Host (Manu/Mystery Pinball Theater 3000)@ 9:54 — Strong endorsement that v2.0 is a comprehensive replacement for the original VPX version

  • “there's not a million config changes you got to do... just running the script... big shout out to Terry for making that super easy for everybody”

    Fishbowl (Ken Swift)@ 33:18 — Highlights usability improvements and credit to Terry Red for script optimization

  • “we're we're we're like destroying as you guys remember um VPW right... Nailbuster's like, you guys are going to break it if you keep doing this.”

    Host/Fishbowl@ 15:27 — Demonstrates the aggressive optimization of PUP Pack video system beyond documented parameters

  • “Escher figured out how to multiply the scoop here... the kid got like 40% of his score once he got a six billion point shot”

    Host@ 30:24 — Shows high-level competitive strategies influencing game code design

  • “I think the name of our group should be the Deep Divers or like the Insanely Detail Orienteders or something like that. we will talk about one particular shot for a long time until it's solid”

    Host@ 31:52 — Reflects the development philosophy of meticulous attention to detail and iterative refinement

Hope your vacation was full of vacation type stuff. You know what my vacation was full of? Me asking the fishbowl hey you got a minute can we talk can we talk i think i talk to you like almost every night right yep just about my vacation we were zooming each other we were talking about this particular release that we're doing um soon yeah i can see you're doing cool stuff with with it if they're open to it yeah yeah yeah cool thank you living arcade for that i appreciate that So we're going to start off, you notice I don't have This is kind of lame I have nothing but a Well, visual pinball is not lame But I don't have a game set up The fishbowl What have we been working on? It's just, you know It's really thankful Wait, wait, wait He never fails Thank you for the raid, Fliptronic and holy shit my stream is distracting oh happy happy national caps lock caps lock day let's have a ding dong okay all right flip trine becca love you guys can't wait to see you on friday when we do the theater thing um How many of people are trying to zoom in to see what the table name is? Oh, Travesty. What's up, Amiga Kami? What's up, Amiga Kami? Travesty, it's not a big surprise. Okay, so let's try again. The Fishbowl. What have we been working on? Just a little bit of table called Guardians of the Galaxy 2.0. Guardians of the Galaxy 2.0? Wait a minute. Didn't we already do Guardians of the Galaxy? We did. But being my first table, I left out, I don't know, about 10,000 lines of code and about 500 meg of assets. So just a little. That's a lot of code and a lot of assets. well i mean in in uh that's why it's 2.0 duh oh flip tronic i know i'm doing i'm doing the acting thing um love you love you jordan um in in the fishbowl's defense uh the fishbowl i'm gonna say this official is an amazing coder you i think we all know that from batman 66 wow thank you for that rave i think we all know that from batman 66 how come it didn't play a rave music though yeah that's broken um batman 66 was kind of the first table that we really deep dive on right bro go ahead all right yeah that was the that was a really big indoctrination into hey here's how a pinball table really works deep down you know yeah so we dug deep into lime and sheets code um i was i was kind of fully brought on as a a member of the group that has no name which consists of we don't do we we don't have a name yet i thought we had the impossibles but the impossibles okay but we didn't really didn't really produce that you know or put it out there so okay bye bye fliptronic it stinks okay bye what's up democrats um damn that's a long queue i redeemed that so long ago i forgot about it um yeah they they go one at a time we uh i wasn't i was brought into the group so it's the fishbowl it's Harlan right? yeah Harlan I want to use everybody's like VP names but that's actually his real name Mr. H I would I guess I would say Ken Swift maybe we should pick a name for you yeah you guys can just throw names of the group the fishbowl mine is MPT3K harlan is ken swift and mr h and so like we got together there's a lot of other people that help trust me we're not just yeah we're not shitting on everybody else who helped because trust me a lot of people help you can look in the credits but that's that's kind of the core go ahead oh i'm saying yeah look in the credits there's a lot yeah that's that's kind of the core right i'm pretty sure when like vpw guys work on stuff there's a there's maybe a couple or like two or three people who are the core people of that table and then everybody gives help um why not just go by the guardians you know what paladin i was thinking about something like that like the fishbowl i was thinking about we should name the group either like the guardians or like the batman i like the guardians that's a good one i didn't think about that oh retro gets retro geek says vp avengers vp avengers you got to do the vp avengers assemble thing for us vp avengers yeah i kind of like guardians oh look at that guardians of the vp and gals all right all right so you guys came here to see a table though right so i was saying in in in the Fishbowl's defense, the Fishbowl is an amazing coder. Thanks, man. How many languages do you code in, the Fishbowl? I don't even track anymore. It's the language of the day. There's got to be at least 50 or so that I know. And so the Bat Guardians. Ha! These are all, I mean, god damn, these are all great names. And so the fishbowl is an amazing coder, yet had to learn a lot about the deep, deep, deep, deep, deep stuff in the game. And I'm not going to say I knew it all, because I had to learn a lot about the deep, deep, deep stuff inside these games. And Ken Swift and Mr. H also had to learn a lot about these deep games. If we're going to make these tribute tables, we want to get everything right. So I will tell you this, TheFishbowl. Guardians, I'm going to tell everybody. The Guardians of the Galaxy that you have currently, no offense, delete it. Definitely. Delete it. Take it off your cab. Because this is the new Guardians of the Galaxy. Hey, Mr. Hardlock. I love that. How cool is this credit sequence? Let's go! Let's go! Hi, Mima. let's go thank you ping for the tier one sub for 15 months holy smokes let's go baby let's go all right so the table the table and table geometry and everything is pretty much the same but how many lines of code did we add to this the fishbowl added about 10 000 i think is uh we're about 18 000 lines of code i thought it was about a little over 16 i mean 18 12 stills uh 12 you know about 12 18 wow so there was a lot of logic missing um hey what's up ping thank you for that tub by the way um i feel like the lights are different hawkeye says if they feel like the lights are different are the lights different they're not we did we did a lot of work we watched okay so kind of the quick story is we went back over and said okay because our little group is going to make another table after this obviously but there's a lot of stuff in these stern games pinball games combos are in now all the modes work the way they're supposed to uh i guess i'll just get started and we'll take a look at what's going on um and we'll talk while we play um the the back glass and stuff all this stuff is here now um character switching now i will say this about pup um the fishbowl is like punishing pup yeah that's true uh but you got in the hand it's a nail buster man he writes some Solid code, man. It can take it. Nailbuster. Goddamn Nailbuster. Holy smokes. I know. Nailbuster. Holy smokes. Like, we're doing stuff with the pup that you're really not supposed to do. That guy is awesome. I love him. Couldn't have done it without him. nail buster nail buster did you even imagine that people would be doing this stuff with your code i mean i can't oh man so we're we're we're like destroying as you guys remember um vpw right is coming out with the Iron Maiden, which the fishbowl is helping out with also. And what it does with Nailbuster's Pup video system, Nailbuster's like, you guys are going to break it if you keep doing this. So this is a tribute table, just like before. It's the premium, except it doesn't, Actually, I feel like it's the LE, but it doesn't have the Groot hands. The reason I say that is because the LE is the only one that has spinners. The fishbowl. Also, the LE has more magnets, actually, which is what Matt Henry at Free Goal Watch told me. Because Matt's looking for an LE. It has the Groot hands that are like here, and it has a couple of other magnets in certain spots. but our table has the spinners and has the orb that opens and closes is that correct yeah yeah and that was one of the key things i i really love the orb and i really like the spinners but those hands were just like and i've heard now the hands are smaller from when it originally came out but so it's but it's you can't see you can't look under and see the inserts and yeah and the pen so it just didn't work out the hands get in the way for me i don't like the hands um but so you guys will be happy to know this has spinners so you can abuse so now the easiest mode in the game i would say is antiquities because if you abuse spinners you're good if you can hit spinners spinners all day that's called getting bored right there by the way this has the full cleland mod if you don't want the cleland you can turn it off in the script but the cleland basically means there was a guy on pinside there was a person on pinside who decided to add more gardens of the galaxy music to the game and our version supports that 100% now. So every... The old version had some Cleland music, but as you'll listen to here, we have all the Cleland music and all the... Well, that magnet, holy shit. That magnet is mean. I ran out of time. I got one more. One more hit. Let me check chat real quick. And to Fishbowl, feel free to answer stuff in chat if you're on chat. The one I saw was like, am I supposed to tell this is supposed to be a virtual pin? No, you're not. Nailbuster 4C all. This is way beyond what I think anyone thought would happen when Terry Redd was doing Tron Legacy Pup Packs or when Monster the Unicorn. Yes, Lynn. Amen, Lynn. Oh, my God, Lynn. you just freaking nailed it no don't board me oh geez the struggle bus struggle bus oh the struggle bus is real okay i can do much better than this guys i'm just trying to show you stuff. Am I supposed to? Let's see. Did I just see clips with alpha channel transparency? Yeah. So yes. Yeah. So and so here's here's here's where we start to see certain things about how quickly we got to get things on the screen so if you like if you know guardians really well and you know the dmd from the stern game you'll see some stuff in ours which is a little different like the the interface will show maybe sometimes over other animations but it doesn't but the rules and everything are still there and the fishbowl came up with a queuing system that is so close to the actual queuing system in real pinball it's scary it's getting there it's really getting there um is there fleep what is fleep what is what fleep oh yeah yeah fleet the the fleet code yeah it's in there and uh we have infazi physics is all in there um okay I'm going to finish up Antiquities because I only have a few more spins to go there we go so Antiquities is done notice how I shot the scoop it went through the stuff it needed to and then showed me the next scene. That stuff is hard to do, you guys. A lot of blood, sweat, and tears in there. That's all I'm going to say to Fishbowl. That stuff is hard to do. You keep me honest, man. Couldn't it do this? And I'm like, I don't want to watch this video. We do have some stuff to work out We're trying to get 100% solid on player one Then we're going to just As that moves over to all players We're going to get all that stuff solid Let's see I'll remember things as I play We're going to go to Yaka now And if you are a baller like the fishbowl Then you have a Actual light bar, you have an actual stern button on your V-pin. That's not me. I'm not that dude. Unfortunately. And it changes color with the modes just like the real one. Alright, the fishbowl. You should get one. Love you too. I'm going to get all that stuff. I'm going to get all that stuff. I'm going to upgrade. I still don't have 4k though So there's that Nice Give me another hit Oh you son of a bitch There you go That's my hit Please finish it Please finish it Boom That'll do it No no Oh crap okay guys don't don't ever start Groot without a mode so if you do start Groot without a mode then work on finishing Groot and we can talk about uh we could talk about what that means The fishbowl, you want to explain how to get through Groot? Yeah, so Groot, you got to hit nine shots, and then the Groot shot, the mouth will start flashing. And I think that's where you're at right now. That's where I am at, but I missed it. And then once you hit that, you got another nine shots. And then hit the mouth again, another nine shots. And then the mouth starts opening and closing for the final jackpot. Yeah. it's a long mode but you want to do that with a mode also which i didn't do correct it's uh it's very beneficial oh wow well i do have orb i can play with let's do um let's do let's do let's do escape kiln let's look at this uh let's see rgb fire button yeah yay j and the americans yeah all the songs are in here grammy um yeah we consider drilling a table hole into a $40 wide body lockdown. A 40-year-old wide body lockdown bar to get a sternfire button. I would need to consider it, yeah. Hey, I ordered from... I did the same thing. I have a wide body. I ordered from JJP and got one of their lock bars. Fit perfect. Oh, you have a JJP lock bar? Yep. Fit perfect. Okay. Thank you, Shaggy. um here let's go let's try and get i'm gonna try and at least get the cherry bomb for you guys now watch this you can backhand that sometimes oh sometimes you can backhand that oh crap oh my favorite song song yes astro this is the guardians of the galaxy but this is 2 don't get borg thank you for the follow robert ennis thank you welcome to the theater i need to learn the rosebud for this table you've already passed my best score my lockdown bar came off about old ballyparagon nice astro what's up astro speaking of legendary freaking people Astro also is in here Geek is in here I love it Alright here we go Fire We're not going to talk about the skill shot Nightmare I put you through The fishbowl Yeah that was That was traumatic But we got through it We'll leave that out Ah frack That was ball three Okay we can go through some more modes We can go through some more modes and talk about this amp goes to 11. So we have, let's see. We've got the champion modes now. We've got a GC. We've got high scores. I can use the flippers to walk through the scores Get them gameplay. We're working on some more stuff for these attract mode things We got combo champs got cherry bomb champ immolation champ Xandar and Then all the rest This is insane great work. Thank you FN was what's up? All right, let's keep going. Let's place. Let's play some more what else is there to we add so there's there's so many additions to this i so the fishbowl i watched almost two years to today august 11th 2020 i streamed guardians of the galaxy for the first time the sneak peek for the first time here on this channel and I watched that stream and that was a really good effort I'm not kidding it was a really good effort I was holding back a lot of thoughts about okay that shot's not quite right that shot's not okay well no and I remember one point you had Cherry Bomb ending like once you hit the super and actually every mode ended yeah Groot ended and Xandar ended and emulation made you force you to complete it um yeah it was a lot of issues so so I thought um I the fishbowl I think you and I were definitely like hey we want to get we want to deep dive into more stern code not just stern code this is pinball code this is not stern code there's actually absolutely no stern code in this and I I wouldn't even think about like combos are for every game. Every game has combos. You know, JJP has combos, um, um, ball timers and ball savers and add a balls and, and, and, and, and stall timers and cues and everything. All this stuff is in all these pinball games. Um, so I would take a lot of trips to free all watch. I set up my stream on a weekend and people like, Hey man, are you streaming? Nope, not streaming. I'm, I'm gathering intel for our little group to figure out how this and that works and this and that works. Bring home a lot of footage. We're here on Zoom playing, watching, recording. Check that, check that, this, that. Having long conversations about... Oh, and I got to thank... Definitely got to thank a lot of people. We watched a lot of footage of people. I mean, not only my footage, but we watched a lot of Deadpool. we watched a lot of don't panic flip i really gotta think don't panic flip um and escher we watched a lot of escher playing this game because escher is one person on the planet who basically can get to save xandar twice in one game yeah unbelievable yeah it was absolutely amazing so um watching a lot of escher watching and listening to escher talk about things like for example um how Escher uses a Hadron to increase the value of the next shot. So we now have combos in here. So if you hit a ramp, a valid shot on the other side may flash for a combo. That'll give you double points on that. Escher figured out how to multiply the scoop here. A lot of people play Quill's Quest first to get a feel of the game. But realize the last shot on Quill's Quest, Quill's Quest Mode will give you 10% of your current score so what Escher would do is go through almost the entire game then play quills quest with it multiplied figure out another multiplier and the kid got like 40% of his score once he got a six billion point shot on George's stream six billion now the little pop-up had to even crunch it down and just put like a little B over there you know on the right or M on the right because it just wouldn't fit on the screen the score so bit so yeah the guy plays the game in a completely different world than the normal people but we want this game to play like we want this game to play for those for those cats i have yet to get to zave zandar six billion on georgia stream not here I have yet to get to save Xandar but I can consistently get to most of the time I can get to Cherry Bomb and every once in a while I can get to Immolation and I can tell you guys how to do all that stuff but let's just play another game just a note you have 6 hours of video that you've given me so far 11 gig is what I have I personally gave you six hours of video. Six hours and seven minutes of video. I think, Ken Swift, I think the name of our group should be the Deep Divers or like the Insanely Detail Orienteders or something like that. we will talk about one particular shot for a long time until it's solid like we know so tomorrow before I stream I guess I'm tearing out Guardians in preparation for the new version yeah Lynn just get rid of that one this is a beta let's start the way the fishbowl starts with Sanctuary because you're insane I just love the sounds so here we go backhand that you can kind of backhand those too whoa wait post pass you can backhand that Hadron boom diggity so one thing to note but he had issues with the first different settings and the batch files and all that stuff this no longer has to do in that and no settings need to be set in the script it does all that for you thankfully thanks to mr. Terry red gave me a great script update all that is done for you just by running the script there's not a million config changes you got to do yeah big shout out to Terry for making that super easy for everybody big shout out to Terry did you see the way that moonwalk the crack out Yeah. Let's go do it again. I know. I thought it was. That's a lucky shot because that... Can I finish one mode now? get that orbit I don't think it's gonna happen there it is what's up geek we can't we can't make it any easier to hit the scoop though. I'm sorry guys. You're going to have to hit the scoop on your own. We can't fix that. It's not broken. Okay. Here's a tip for Guardians players. Shia LaMama. When you hear Star-Lord, when When you hear Quill say multipliers are open, multipliers are ready. When you hear him say multipliers, try and trap up and make sure Groot is your first 2x. Every time you complete Nova Corps, every time you complete all the inlanes for Nova Corps, you light your playfield multipliers, your shot multipliers, sorry not your playfield multipliers, your shot multipliers. You want Groot? Definitely. get into group multiball he's already double move the scoop to the can you can you micro flip on these digital pins yes shell shock you can in fact I've done the trick for a little while where you trap two balls during quill and you just backhand one ball into the scoop constantly with little micro flips if I I can do it today. That'd be great. But I'm not great. Great. I'm OK. How about the how's the amazing. OK. Ken Swift. I'm going to skip that one. So what's the TLDR on the update? Should I just watch the VOD to get that? What's the TLDR on the update? Or should I just watch the VOD to get that? You mean the release date, Baldur's Geek? or let's do how many pinball machines do you have? Pineapple? I have zero. But if you donate, maybe you can help me buy one. Shameless. I don't care. I'm shameless. I'm not shameless. I have no shame. Thank you to Fishbowl. Backhand! Huh! Combo! Nebula! Nope. Nope. Okay, Ronin? Nope. Okay, start on your multiball then. Start on your group multiball if you can. Shoot. Ugh! I'm just asking for it. It's Bowie! Who likes Bowie? I like Bowie. I'm not worthy of any demanding, uh, oh no. There's my upgrade. Upgrades work. work before one or collected magnet let it bounce got him damn it Wow cheese okay I'm gonna let that pass notice how my shots my shots are flashing again that's because they are ready to be doubled what changes does it include oh my god lots mmm how the hell does this work? I was debating on whether I put the entire change list on the release. You know, we can put what changed. I was like, man, it's got to be like 10 pages now. Yeah, it's a lot. Yeah, it might be too many, actually, Geek. Oh, no. So I doubled on the orb. Because maybe I'll start the orb. Oh, what the what? What the heck? We're going to save that replay. That was awesome. It's a shame the pinball still Isn't still alive to check What the total downloads of the Yeah That's alright There we go that's what you do Um Another bit of advice Maybe for guardians players If you want to get to immolation You only need half of every mode Half of every character mode, we'll say. Orb and group don't count for immolation. Wait, do they? Yes, they do. The fishbowl. That's a good question. I don't remember whether they do or not. That's what I was like, too. I was like, wait, do they? No, I don't think they do. We can check the immolation screen. but we can check but but in this case i can move on to another mode all right because nowhere is already halfway done so if i want to i can move on to another mode now the thing is if you complete i think it's six modes you get an extra ball um and if you complete four modes you get the cherry bomb but i've taken to like letting a mode go and playing other things and coming back around just to get that emulation because emulation is a lot of points actually um let's see let's do let's do antiquities because i'm close to orb yeah so emulation all modes have to be greater than 50 and you have to start you had to have started groot and orb right and or yeah okay so here's orb three what I need to do right now is a two million hurry up happening I need to break the ball free so I can get my kind of maximum there we go now what I need to do is hit all shots Okay, I'm missing a lot of shots here Come on I'm close Oh no Oh wait, I got a ball save Okay, there's that Okay, I need to trap up and protect these two guys. Oh, that was mean, ball! It says I got only three shots left. Let's see if I can do an up and over. Ah! That's... that's tough mode. Oh, pitched it right out. That's a tough mode right there. But I love it. Oh! Alright. But we finished Antiquities. So now, I have to hit the scoop again. Which is always a tough thing to do. Ugh! the fishbowl everything on the left everything on the right of the table is doubled i know right just looking at that oh my you gotta get that shot you gotta get that shot otherwise they're gonna die you're gonna die oh my god my finger got stuck under the flipper you saved it and then you lost it i know my finger got stuck under the stupid flipper button. Dang. The flipper was here and my finger was like... Shia LaMama. That was a good first ball. Here, I'm going to do quill just for fun. Let's do quill for funsies. I'm firing off my Hadrons right now. So those are my three Hadrons that I get. That was heartbreaking. Oh, that was heartbreaking too. Go up there and stay up there. Hit that scoop, man I'm not, I'm never hitting the scoop Screw this scoop One, two, three Fire it off some more hadrons Thanks Ken, great intro video. Damn it. Oh wow. Woo! Woo! Extra ball! Extra ball! Nope. Extra ball! Nope. Don't you dare! Don't you dare! You too will be able to be humiliated by this game. Alright. So I'm halfway through. Quill. Nowhere. Orb. Finish Antiquities. let's do something fun let's do sibling because we haven't done sibling yet bruh great job man who had the fishbowl yeah thank you oh ken swift shut your face we we we beat up on ken swift we're like ken swift we need assets we need all this stuff tomorrow it's like all right we need an intro video a new intro video we need this when do you need it we need it yesterday and he delivers yesterday i don't know how it happened it's like wait where'd the thing we needed go he's he's like i gave it to you yesterday how'd you do that all right um did i promise cherry mom i don't know let's do sibling Name that tune I gotta get that extra ball actually That's not fair Let's get the extra ball Woo I can't The fishbowl I can't hit that shot now I don't know why I don't know Got it Maybe it slid out of the way. You hit it so hard. Just kind of bent it. And I got my extra ball. Yeah. Oh. Did you guys see the ball save animation? Oh, yeah. Totally missed that. It's mine. It's my ball save animation. Ah. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. VP, and that's why the six billion was shot on the Jershim. Shut up, VP. So you hear all these little... I love this. The Fishbowl, I must have played this song like seven times today. I love this song. Yeah, they're good. I love the Cleveland. The Five Stairsteps. The song is Ooh Child by The Five Stairsteps. in case you're looking for it on Spotify or whatever. Play this song. It's a wonderful song. I poked my head into a modern Stern package. Many of the videos are actually standard formats. That's right. They're like 13 whatever by whatever. This was all you guys. I have a Tommy part. Next one I'm going to flex. Nice rotoscoping on the ball save. That was Ken Swift. It's a living arcade. That's Ken Swift. That was a gift for me. and me only you will get a normal orb but i got that uh baldisky i remember mttk mentioning swapping assets with pinball brother or tmnt i think yeah well someone else baldisky someone else came up with that with on pinside there are a lot of really talented uh modders you can say on pinside we also have the jurassic park mod at freego watch where it movie assets as opposed to um as opposed to um you know the standard Snorran assets Here we go There's my upgrade! So Groot is now 2x'd. I can't even count how many jackpots, and I'm not supposed to. I'm just supposed to hit them. I got to hit the jackpots, but I'm not necessarily counting them. Oh, crap. So I just... I think I just failed out a sibling, but that's okay. I'm going to keep going. There's my super. Boom! Got the super, baby! Oh, that looks good, the fishbowl. I love that shot Animation you just feel it Bro that Super looks so cool It feels so good when you can hit it too Alright let's get some more shots Please Please Hurry while you're losing your 2x I know It's a good thing there's a ball save On that eject Yep I don't think it needs to be there. Okay, let's park this ball in Groot's mouth for some protection. No! I didn't call it. See, Hollywood Polo? You just... You jinxed me. That's Hollywood Polo's fault. Yeah, Hollywood. That's Hollywood's fault. It's all your fault, Hollywood! oh that's called a trust fall ha nice work ken swift i know the pain of rebuilding those so is each mod so it's each mod custom or Or is Pinball Browser literally a tool that can find or replace assets? I think maybe someone answered you, but yes, it's a tool to replace assets. Ken Swift is... Hey, Surreal. Ken Swift is amazing at doing stuff, and I get angry at them. Because the stuff Ken Swift comes up with is sick. um will this video be uploaded to youtube since vod will likely get muted out yes this will be uploaded to this video will be uploaded to youtube because all the pinball sounds are not going to the vod um i was playing this probably how about the pup match uh when i played a real one instead of two hours sunday play weird al and toy story 4 and dotg was one of the locations i went to nice By the way, I'm streaming Toy Story this Thursday. So in two days, I'll be streaming some Toy Story. It's a fun game. That's all I've got to say about that. It's a fun game. If you don't like Toy Story, you don't like fun. Right? Right, The Fishbowl? Yep. Hi, Surreal. How was Weird Al? Let's see. The universe feels more normal again. Toy Story 4 was okay. word out was fun both occasions man are you grilling over fourth of july i would love to that'd be cool let's grill let's see i told don't panic flip that we're gonna be going a little late tonight um i will probably go another 15 or minutes or so so i'm doing really bad as far as progress on this one and i'd be happy to play another one for you guys to show you maybe some actual progress. Oh, that's gone. Okay. So let's work on Cherry Bomb right now. The fishbowl. How is it working on this as well as Iron Maiden? Oh, I mean, like, you mean just the sharing of the code? yeah well i mean keeping things straight in your brain with rule sets from iron main and rule sets from guardians yeah i mean it's sometimes it does get a little blurry but the nice thing is like we find a bug on guardians and i'm like oh iron main has that same bug and then i make another note that i was like oh i think batman 66 has that same bug so i'll make a note have a list running note of like hey go check this on those and and it's been working really great the uh i mean like the quick ball ad so when it goes out the outlane drain you know that was something you know you're like hey why can't we do that and so when i was on iron maiden i was like why why can't we do that so i did it and i pulled it over here well there was an issue that we had like where the the balls would get all stacked up there's like this weird corner case that it gets stacked up I'm like, ooh, that same bug is in Iron Maiden now. And same thing with the – when you have the stab on the add a ball, the ball save on the right out lane on this one, right? Well, Maiden has the same thing. It has the revise, right? And so I have to do that same code, and I'm like, there's a bug. And I'm like, oh, gosh. It's been nice. the rules have been i just it's been nice because i watch videos when people make videos of diva of bugs i it puts me back in the mindset easy but other than that i haven't been too confused you know it's just uh i'm sure escher has way more rules in his head than i'll ever have so it's it's not too bad we we're old guys we have to write them down escher just has them and i know and they're just like obviously you know that's 10 of the score and if you you do this this and that you can uh multiply it and i'm just like yeah dude i can't see that far in the future yeah um yeah trav um there is a maiden stern tribute in works is being created by the vpw group i did stream it a little while ago and um you can find lots of video of it on YouTube actually, not just by myself, but there are dev development people from VPW who are streaming their gameplay. So if you just go to YouTube and look up Iron Maiden VPX, you can see some of it is freaking amazing. I had zero nothing to do with it and I want to thank the VPW guys extraordinarily for letting me sneak peek it. That being said, I haven't played it because it's the version that I had is eons beyond. It's like eons old. And I'm waiting just like everybody else to see the release. I can't wait to see the release. um so uh yeah and so the shared it's kind of a there's a shared kind of i'm not going to call it a framework but there's not a shared abstract ideas to fishbowl that you're saying from each one of these tables batman um iron maiden and guardians um so that it's nice that if you know I send you a bug for guardians you can say hmm is that same bug in iron maiden and back and forth so it's almost like we're all fixing bugs kind of at the same time right I mean look at the last one we just did combos I mean we just looked at combos on guardians and we figured that out and I mean combos on guardians was horrible initially it's like I don't even know what I was thinking I It's like I didn't even know what a combo was. But now the way combos work and they amplify and they can stack and stack and stack, as well as stack your shot. You can do a 4x combo on a shot. You can have the shot multiplier going. You can have playfield multipliers going. You can have rockets rampage kind of thing going. I mean, there are so many amplifications that you can do on a single shot that it's just mind-blowing. But the way we've implemented it now, it's like, hey, I've already looked. I'm like, oh, I need to use this everywhere. It's very good stuff. Yeah, and it's definitely like combos or something. Here's what's funny. Rick, one of the most amazing VPX testers on the planet a long time ago told me on stream you need to manage your playfield multipliers I mean your shop multipliers especially for Guardians and as soon as Rick said that I went and all of a sudden the shop multipliers seemed to just come into existence for me you know what i mean like i was like oh there's just green lights on the play field and rick's like no they're shot multipliers right so so escher did kind of the same thing i mean when you got people at this high like rick escher and stuff like that who play uh escher did the same thing when escher explained to george what he did to make a shot worth so much more and then the fishbowl and i looked at that and went holy smokes okay let's make it work and we kind of made it work so yeah um uh what else i want to say real quick that like i said um no let's let's speed run let's speed run through uh by the way if you don't know what a combo is uh real quick combo rick has rick has his own version of pinball multiverse that's true i got serious serious mad respect for rick holy smokes okay um You got me started. There you go. And that's a compliment for those who are wondering. Good bug finders are amazing, yeah. So a combo is when you shoot one shot on a table, and this happens on a lot of Stern tables, shoot a shot, right? Another shot that can be hit quickly will get lit and kind of strobes. And that shot will be double the value. it only lasts for three seconds so if you notice you're playing a pin that that's to ask you to play faster you don't want to play faster but if you have the accuracy will go the pros you can actually play faster and get get combos going so for quill I'm trying to spin the spinners as much as I can cuz spinners switches give me um switches give me progress damn switches give me progress hey butchins thank you for thank you for throwing me your prime wow i appreciate you and welcome to the welcome to the stream um so from what i gather it is emulated but how is it being emulated oh the fishbowl you can you can talk about that it's all scripted so i mean we start it's all written in visual basic script and we just go back and look at the all the videos and figure out hey what does what look at the rules and re-implement the whole thing from scratch so it's uh that's how we do it and then the second half is pup right so a lot of people emulate tables um can can code all that up but then we leverage pup and we emulate all the backlash stuff so seeing what's being displayed when's it being displayed what's the font what's the color everything what clips are being played when sounds so that's how we do it i am absolutely loving the cleveland mod though once again when you get this game on your own you know when you get this game if you don't want if you want to stream it and you don't want copyright strikes we would suggest you not turning the cleland in the script you can turn cleland off that being said um that being said there are still well i'm gonna i'm gonna just f this game there are that game was terrible um that being said there are still a few clips in there that might get get you dinged. But for the most part, all of the Cleland songs disappear. Okay. But the actual Guardians physical table shipped with, I think, this song. Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell, Ain't No Mountain High Enough. If you play the old Guardians VPX, you won't get uga chaka to death anymore the fishbowl somebody told me they were like yo i love guardians but man that uga chaka gets to me sometimes yeah i says don't worry we took care of that it's not just you know baby thank god yeah it's not just hooked on a feeling um yeah and there was one other well obviously cherry bomb if we get to cherry mom so there are a few songs that they did get licensed to all the cleland mod did was introduce tons more songs like mr blue sky that's playing right now this would not play without the cleland mod i'm going to do that again so Shh, don't Borg me. Oh, don't Borg me, you son of a Borg-ing frat monster. So this is based off the mod you mentioned? Yeah. The sounds are based off the Cleland mod that we mentioned. And there's just a variable. I mean, you can just change the variable at the top of the code, and it'll switch between Cleland or non-Cleland. What did I say? What did I say, fiends? Son of a... Son of a boring frack monster. Okay. Nice. I just hadron my way through that. Oh, you're boring me every time! You don't want me to get the cherry bomb in front of people? Attention, my new. Have you checked your butthole? You know, that does get annoying sometimes At least you don't have a clip to match the sound, you know I love you, bro I love you so much What's up, Splod? Hey, I got a ball save. Nice. Thank you. Alright, multipliers are lit. You want to hit Groot. You want to hit Groot. I still want to hit Groot though and I'm missing Groot every time the fishbowl what's and I multiplied that shot which is not the shot I wanted to multiply almost almost got it there you go and it collected a mystery so this is the kind of thing i'm talking every once in a while i'll do that but it's showing me the interface correctly let's let's pot chase because i'm close to um group multiball thank you for the thank you for follow rigor mortis i love that name cleland was cleland was already my favorite family guy character and i like him that's cleveland um board makes me bitch every time i play tmnt hey hollywood just just imagine if it was redeemed yeah only fiends can do it which is and only once per stream yeah um just stood up new version new pup the fishbowl you got that one Yep, yep, new version 2.0 with the new pup pack to go with it. Hopefully removed all the headaches with setting it up. But we should be going into Hopefully there's a few more things I think we need to fix And then we'll go into A test for a couple weeks And shake out all the final glitches With different cabs And hopefully we can release it after that We'll see how that goes Blouses Who did that? Fiennes has got a lot of money Alright we have DeFishbowl on chat With us DeFishbowl being the The main author of the table And kind of the project lead For Guardians of the Galaxy And also we did myself Ken Swift, Mr. H DeFishbowl Nail Buster, Terry Red Help from VPW Super Demi all of VPW helped with Batman and helped with this table a little bit like the fishbowl said we probably have about I don't know two or three weeks more of bug stuff I'm working my way around some of them they're not very apparent and you guys probably wouldn't even notice them if we released it right this second but we do and we want to make sure that if somebody like Escher ever steps up to this that they're like yeah this is pretty solid i'm gonna do one more that tippy tip that tippy tap flip yeah i'm gonna do one more and then we're gonna rate uh probably don't find a clip um i mean i'm asking a i'm asking a rhetorical question right now with the fishbowl but how how so you mentioned like maybe a couple weeks or a few weeks I wanted to make a point friends that if we streamed a sneak peek of this table that is no more than a month out I don't want to make an announcement about an announcement I feel and DeFishbowl feels that we can get the last few things going I have made it all the way to immolation with really no problem there's a couple of things that we need to fix but we're going to fix them And we're going to make sure that you guys have a game that you can have fun with. You have to be on the league of Manu or Rick to get all the bugs. Well, Rick is amazing. Manu can find edge cases that the fishbowl hates. Yeah. Yeah. He's like, here's the number one. Start it up, go to Rocket, and go to Kill. And Manu's like, hey, Phillip, I can't see there. I hate DeFishbow. I can't see the skill shot. Okay, I'll show you what we're talking about. Okay. Yeah. All right. So, for example, this is the kind of shit I give DeFishbow shit about, okay? Yeah. Well, if we start the game, okay? As you know, generally speaking, in pinball machines, the modes will light up, right? If you can move a mode around, if you can move a choice around, it'll show you what shots you need to take. Well, for this particular table, notice, if I'm on Podchase, it shows me blue lights, blue inserts for the ramps. It's going to be mostly that, unless I get an upgrade. Ramps. Notice up at the top, though, that's called the skill shot. Okay? The skill shot will flash. So not only am I showing the things I need to shoot during the mode, but there's my plunger skill shot. Now, here's a trick. If I go to Escape Kiln, the inserts flash because you need to shoot the inserts. But, and this was an old version, not this version, as you notice, the inserts are flashing, but one of them is strobing now. That's the skill shot. and if you go to a real if you go to a physical guardians table you will see it do this because it still needs to show you the skill shot but it needs to also flash the inserts for this is the shot this is the mode you're going to be in I had my five year old plunge the ball we went to free watch I had my five year old plunge the ball while I held my phone right the fishbowl Yeah, yeah. It was like, hey, this is what I'm talking about. Wait, I'm going to show them too. Here, I'll show you guys. Look, look. I didn't even respond to that chat. That's me showing it. Yeah. That was my son plunging. And now you can move it. Say that. That's how dedicated we are. I'm not starting with that mode though I'm going to start with my favorite mode once again Ball save Look at that ball save Thank you Harlan I love you Every time I see that ball save I'm happy For two reasons What's up Spacey Tracy Spacey from Outer Spacey How you doing friend if you ever completed if you if you completed one mode and drain can you get the strobing skill shot on either of the top lanes no um skill shot goes away if you drain but you can't but you can i i do when i'm running that mode I do hit it I hit a shot I drain I let it shoot back up there and I complete the other upper lane shot to get those out of the way all right you guys might notice that I am actually not going for the skill shots I'm going for when I launched from antiquities I actually go for the super skill shot not Not to get the super skill shot, but to get the spinner spinning. So I just showed you guys how to cheese the antiquities mode by using the spinners. It's the same thing you can do on an actual physical table. Okay here we go. Yaka is also an easy mode. Easy, but... It's not easy. Nothing in this game is super easy. But it's a mode that you could probably get through without too much damage to your soul. There we go. Bo-bo-blee-bo. Bo-bo-blee-bo. Tracy! Hi, Tracy. Tracy I need some more good movie movie suggestions that was a good shot two more one send it up send it up send it up okay one more one more we're gonna gonna cheat we're gonna do this huzzah oh we missed it i got it yeah the yondu shot is lit i don't know why i was trying for yondu i'm not gonna go for yondu it's uh it's a good uh you can collect a good bonus you can collect a yeah pretty good bonus on Yondu if you go for it. Let's do... I feel like doing Nowhere. Do I have any Hadrons? Yes, I have Hadrons. So let's do Nowhere. You should edit down the intro into the Earth core I'm gonna get the cherry bomb so I'm just gonna hager on those I'm gonna show you guys this backhand because it can't work there we go here's the nebula shot nope nope no Drax, two more shots. Two more shots. Got lots of time. As long as I can get the damn ball down here. A little nudge off the side actually helped the ball not hit the slings. I am using actual kind of physical pinball tricks. Because I have a nudge. I don't do this to me there we go nice there's one more oh no I'm good I'm good I'm good yeah good job man I'm gonna oh that's the smart place to go is Groot's house that's actually oh my god you son of a gun I forgot it comes all the way around in this mode Alright Nice So that's a safe way of doing it Also I missed your answer Manu I was doing work stuff for a quick second Oh uh Ever watch Stay Tuned Oh I don't know I don't want a riff to Stay Tuned It's such a good movie it's i don't know tracy now you can see i'm a wimp about what i want to riff to um here let's do sanctuary because i'm gonna pair it with groot and i have a pretty good idea that i'm gonna be able to that i'm gonna be able to uh get this going all right i'm gonna skip i can flip or skip through the animation and just work on finishing finishing yeah get all those hadrons yeah get all the hadrons wow geez i got a lot of hadrons to get through right now don't leave me guys oh that wasn't good but maybe we can get ronin all right cherry bomb is lit nice cherry bomb is lit i gotta shoot the scoop bam Here it comes, Cherry Bomb. I got all kinds of stuff going on. I got all kinds of stuff going on. I'm not going to promise I'm going to get through this, though, but I'm here. This is challenging. I have to hit every shot on the table. which can be quite a challenge, especially the ramps. Doing stuff like this. And you need rocket left orbit. Let me see if I can... I can't trap up and backhand Gamora. No, it's just too hard. Huh! Huh! Oh, it almost hit it! Huh! Gamora! Gamora! Get Hadrons, right? I still gotta get... I got no more Hadrons. I got no more Hadrons. Gamora! 16 seconds. Let it bounce. Gamora! Wait, where did all my balls go? Phil, we gotta fix something. What the heck? All the balls are gone. I've never seen that. I didn't make it anyway. Did you see that? That was weird. We gotta go back and look at that. Yeah, that's right. What do you guys think, huh? Have you riffed any Toxic Avenger movies? No. Travis says, I remember the first time I got a V-Pin and V-PX a few years ago. Stern tables such as this and Batman 66 wouldn't mention would be shut down pretty quickly. Not possible years away. No way to emulate. So now we rewrite them from scratch. Look how far we've come. Exactly, Trav. Exactly. What about Caravan of Courage? Yeah, I already have that. I have that, Tracy. That would be awesome to do. Cherry bombed. Yeah. Well, we have some more stuff to get through, but clearly this is freaking baller, dude. Let's see how much further I can get, and then we'll call it. Now let's do Quill. If I can finish Quill, I can get 10% of this score, at least. Well, Quill is double, so it'll be 20, right, Phil? Yep, yep I'm not saying I'm going to do it, kids Throw a hate, get Rampage going Oh, easy, let's get Rampage for sure Let me see if I can get Rampage, ready? Boom No What? What? That's not going to help, Manu You have to hit a shot A shot Alright Here comes the flex Ready? Watch this Wait Try it again Dang it Good night, everybody. Oh, I wanted to get one. I wanted to get one of them, man. Yeah. So the smart thing to do right now would be to work on Groot again. Groot gets harder to start every time. Now I have to lock four balls. Well, I would have to lock four balls. Groot gets harder and harder and harder to start. Every time you go through it. Just saw Patton Oswalt's routine about deathbed, the bed that kills. Any chance of that? Oh, my God. By the way, there is a Discord for Mystery Pinball Theater. If you guys want to suggest movies for Fridays. this Friday we're doing Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead that's what we're doing this week with Christina Applegate but if you want to help us out join the discord MrPinballTheatre3000 discord all you have to do is type exclamation point discord it'll show you the link come on in and normally we vote on movies I'll give you a whole list of movies that we're going to do do a vote and then we'll have some have some fun let's do Podchase just because Podchase is cool thank you gritmonger you're awesome appreciate you all right let's see if we can start orb then orb is a legitimate multiball that you can use to get progress that's two orbs you that's the risk you take though with orb is that the magnet is gonna F you. Magnet can get you. Well there's my upgrade which I needed one more BAM! Okay we're gonna start orb. Now I'm not gonna try and complete orb now I'm just gonna use orb to help me get through you suck come on you do have to hit the orb there you go nice so now I'm going to try and use orb to help me get through um pod chase you can trap the orb in the orb shot that'll give you the next shot for I think five seconds or so will be double but then it lets it go oh that's all right I think I finished it right I did oh but I finished it and that was my goal to just finish it Apophis what's up what did you miss nothing just nothing we're just just me and the fishbowl hanging out talking about a game that we're re-releasing love that hook you're giving us on made man Apophis here's to you Apophis seriously you guys are all freaking geniuses um so at this point in the game you you look down you go okay i need to complete one more mode to get an extra ball or i need to get halfway through three modes to get to immolation i need to complete one more mode to get an extra ball so I may look at a mode like kiln because it's got very few shots but it's all the inserts notice that our skill shot is lit properly all right you any other guys doing all the work I don't do any work of office I don't know what you're talking about the fishbowl yes Manu I just kind of just say do this do that Alright, let's try it. Let's at least try to get through Kiln to see if we can light the extra ball so we can see if we can get the extra ball. So what you can do is, you can let it drain. Use that ball save to get the other lane. Now I'm on my own. Now I'm on my own. Thank you! Hey, Das! What's up, buddy? Oh my god! Das, this is a virtual pinball version of Guardians.

DeFishable, we're going to cut this hype train short because I have to move along. I know you have to move along. Remember, everybody, DeFishable helps out this group, the Batman 66 kind of group. Also helps out a little bit on the VPW side. Also happy to answer any questions. so just send your emails to the fishbowl i'm just kidding do you do you live next to freego watch no need for a room oh yeah you yeah that's that's that's true that's that's shut up it's so it's sort of like i have 50 machines at my disposal at any time but but it'd be nice to have one in the you know in the basement you know in the garage we don't have basements here in San Francisco. You really going to buy a P3? I don't think so, Ken Swift, to be honest. I don't think it's going to be a P3. I think what I'm going to do is I'm going to get enough money to buy a pin and then flip it a few times to get something. You know what I mean? Like I can see spending 5K on a pin, maybe used, maybe clean it up, flip it, get another one, get another one, do that thing. I think that's the way of pinballers nowadays, kind of. I don't have the time. It would be very poorly built. I barely get to season new games. Yeah. Ah, you will, Doss. Don't worry. Hey, if you tune in Thursday, you'll get to see me play Toy Story. It's fun. The Fish. I love Batman 66 so much. Thank you for making that. Hey, The Fishbowl. I think we were discussing, there's still some existing bugs in Batman 66, and I think the VPW guys need to take a stab at the physics on it. Right, yeah, there's a lot of things that, you know, we tried to do a good job on it, but there's a lot I've just learned doing Maiden with that group that we need to probably pull over. I mean, even just some effects like the lighting. You know, if you look at Maiden, the light, the G.I. lighting fades in. And that alone is just unbelievable. Yeah. So things like that would just just add just just that extra polish, you know, which is what they're known for. Yeah. So. There you go. Do you live at Frigo Watch? Kind of. Actually, Grammy I try not to go to Free Gold Watch I actually try not to go Because I don't want to burn myself out on Free Gold Watch But if you come in on a Sunday You're going to see me there just Pretty much all day Because I actually play a lot on Sunday Alright, thank you guys so much to Fishbowl Thank you, my friend I appreciate you, man Couldn't have done this without you It's a reciprocal kind of deal With us also ken swift and mr h um we're standing on the shoulders of giants because those guys are ridiculous also everybody i can't name everybody but i can name terry i can name astro i can name retro geek i can name a puffus i can name so many people um nail buster you guys are great i love you guys i love you so much i just want to take a jacuzzi and throw in a toaster with you i mean plugged in like like like honestly that's how much I'd kill for one hour there Das I miss you Das Alright Thanks guys I'll see you on Thursday Well done Yay Well done Nice Alright Later Thank you.
