27 Yeah, it probably would make sense to lighten out and drain. It absolutely would. In fact, two of them is really what I should be doing. Yeah, maybe I need to start doing that. Thank you. Remind me how to play this game, you know, safely. After I, you know, go for this multiplier that I'm gonna die on.
0:30
Make a card that makes you... Oh, jeez. I need this card to move all the games. I don't want to play State... What the heck was that? I don't want to play State the Classics anymore, okay?
1:00
For those that don't know, the California State Championship was pretty much... It seemed like all classics games. Then we had Team NT and Jurassic.
1:20
Where are the cone rewards? How many points do you have to eat, Mac? Well, I'm trying to light out lane saves, but I'm not doing very good. Light on set.
1:56
Yeah, divine ore points for best results. Yeah, I could see that. Although, if you get that multiplier up, you know, the vine's going to be massive, the modes are massive. It's all about the kahuna. All right, let's see what you can do. Take it away.
2:13
It was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished them well. I don't want to time out my modes. Wait a second.
2:33
500 and something? Oh, that's good too. If self-preservation is an instinct you possess, you better fucking do it and do it quick.
2:45
Kill me right now, please. I'm losing life, K-Ball! That was a call, do I get the multiplier first or get the mode? I kind of wanted to go for the multiplier first, but I thought the cash out would be... And cut! Probably better to get right away.
3:11
Since I've got, what, okay, I'm one away from cast chaos. Lots of luck, gentlemen. I'll get another... Oh, and save, and then die. Die.
3:30
Come on. I can't do that. I swear I can't. No, I can't. Don't listen to me. You know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese and fries?
3:46
Look at how annoyed I'm getting at missing this magnet. Over and over again. Hamburger. Cornerstone of any. Just as bad as this.
4:09
What the? I've never seen that happen. That was wild. So pretty please, we'll shoot you on top. Clean the fucking car.
4:32
Gimme bomb! Not like that, not like that, not like that. 20 seconds, 20 seconds. Not down the middle. Anywhere but the middle.
5:00
I'm losing life, people. Oh, damn. Cool. Timer's paused. Yeah, that's a big collect. I can't believe this is the same card. Well, let's not start sucking each other's dicks quite yet. And cut. Print it. That's a wrap.
5:24
All right, now we're playing modes because I've got some value here. Quiet on set. And the multiplayer is still there, so we're having some fun now. Although I don't want to play BMF. I know it's worth more, but... Ugh. I think it was a 10 mil collect for a 4 AM. It's the one that says bad motherfucker.
5:45
Oh, that was tricky. I can't help it. I gotta play the bugs. I can't look right now what that's at, but it should be at something decent.
6:21
I losing life people Oh yeah There we go 13 mil This is what I expect the people to be doing after at Indus
6:47
Bounty collect, yeah! Roll cameras, and action! Let's watch. First purchase by your great grandfather. I can hit the magnet.
7:01
Not down the middle. Anywhere but the middle. So he hit it. Thank you for not grabbing it. Come on, hit the right target. Hit the right target. I find your food waiting for you.
7:40
Oh boy. Okay. Come on, give me a box. Give me a box. That's that Hawaiian burger joint. I'm losing life, people!
7:50
Cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast. Just hang in there, baby. You're doing great. I'm proud of you.
8:01
No! Not gonna have enough time. Nope, nope. Yeah, I saw it. It just wasn't going to be enough. Oh, well. Okay. That was good.
8:12
Still a good run there. Oh, this is... I gotta hit another drop. See, to me, this is where the game is just fantastic. That risk on the modes gets my heart really going.
8:35
Oh, that was awful. That was awful. Oh. Royale with cheese. Oh. Come on. Quiet on the set. All right.
9:20
Roll cameras. And... It did, BrickDrain. It did. Thank you. Come on. Give it a shot. Come on. I haven't played this since the code changed.
9:32
To make it based on what you got in the mode. right fine you can go Come on, no, no, dammit, dammit, dammit, there's a gray swammy.
10:35
That was the shot. Alright, so now... I'm too done here. I would love to keep playing modes, scenes, because I'm at 5x multiplier, but I should be smart and not do that.
11:02
I want to show you that was a little harder than I wanted. You know what they call a quarter pound of a cheese and cracker?
11:24
You're saved, eh? still I have to say play with matches you get burned oh no nope nope don't like it don't don't not happy we're not happy um actually I should take pawn shop Okay.
12:05
Woo! Nobody kills anybody in my place of business. Just me or Zed. That's it. Get me out the gimp. Gimp sleep.
12:25
I was not expecting that one to come back Okay How much is that worth of five bucks Wow, almost two. I want that gun. That was it.
13:15
Go ahead and pick it up. Come on. That a boy. Step aside, bro. I don't trust that anymore. Okay. That's okay. A lot of progress on that. um that's uh that's another bounty right there collected over five million yeah
14:30
I barely have any progress on frenzy though. So this is the important one, huh? I'm amazed that I cannot ship to orbit to an actor, you know. Consistently.
15:51
Damn it. Alright, I'll do that one again. Toss the weapon. Yeah, this is where things get dangerous.
16:21
drops and drops that's gone yeah it's in that pattern I just haven't been able to figure out how to get rid of it well that was a solid one what are all the bounties what was that last one Um.
16:55
Uh, the MPH bonus of five million or more. Uh. Maybe that didn't. I chose for that because I need to make progress on frenzy shots.
17:45
Put your hand behind your head. Approach the counter right now. The one digit is the number of rolls.
18:10
Quiet on set. Oh, that's an outline save. That's right. These multi-balls. There's that other extra ball I haven't gone for. That one.
18:45
The drive fast one. Yeah, bullshit. In order to be comfortable. You know what they call a quarter pounder for cheese and fries Oh no no no no no not there
19:14
Sinfan thank you for the sub. All right there's two. Oh I have enough I have all the balls locked in various places, so let's do the virtual there.
19:34
I'm ready for that. Alright. There we go. We happy? Yeah, we happy. Get down, get down. Oh, my gosh.
20:30
All right, try for pawn shop again. Oh, man. The briefcase is going to be the one that kills me. Keep it coming.
20:39
Come on. I'm pretty fucking far from okay. Fuck that. What we die inside? Does the LE come with better speakers? I don't know. I honestly do not know.
21:41
I mean, these speakers are plenty good as it is. It's not like it needs anything better. The sound is made to sound old.
21:53
A little bit. In spots. Did the progress on the pawn shop carry ever? Yeah, it does. Pawn shop carry.
22:22
Trusted the post. Oh, man. One amazing ball and the rest of the game went to hell. This is probably the last game of the night because I'm pretty darn hungry. cool honey bunny be cool that's it oh yeah that's it for tonight i am i'm beat three hours we ended at number 27 what happened here was it's doable though i want you to fucking acknowledge right time.
23:27
Yeah, speakers are great. Like I said, there's no... As long as you're not using what I'm using. So you guys can hear all the good audio.
23:37
All right. But yeah, when you start getting the 5X, you know, those large multipliers, it just... I just start getting nervous and it's great. That's a lot of fun. I don't know if a powered sub is going to be good on this or not because it actually has a lot of the audio the channels are split between the sub and the speaker that's under the head I can tell from when I put it in my mixer here, in my Rodecaster it's an interesting mix, it's not your traditional pinball mix anyways it's going to be good
24:22
I assume Tom is still streaming a tournament. So let's go send you over to Tom. Probably not a Zen fan. But I love the game. I really, really like the game. I know me. It would last six months. And then I would move along. Like a lot of stuff I do. If anyone wants to buy Rush, I have a Rush for sale right now. Just like that.
24:48
Stuff just doesn't stick here. so I'm really grateful that Josh sent this out so I could do this and that we could use it in disc that was great that was fantastic apart from that I hope you enjoyed this it will be the next one is probably Wednesday I'll go back to my usual time Wednesdays at 6 is my guess and then try and pop in a couple streams here and there I also have lab rent to stream so I may jump between these two games just so I don't play the same thing over and over we'll see otherwise take care have a good weekend and catch you next time bye
