here everything alright alright 1 2 are they gonna show us something on the screen you might see a comet pinball yeah might see an ad or two as well they're ready alright so we were watching some Peter magic for watching gameplay so Peter magic he's in multiball here why don't you introduce yourself I am Esther left off and this is Ryan winger my name is Jeff Tillis and when you can't play pinball you talk about it apparently so uh glad to be here on the ia pinball stream yeah this is a sweet setup here it is like the real deal it is the real deal how are you finding theater magic a game you don't see in a lot of tournaments are you finding a restroom uh it's actually the way it's set up it's making it hard you cannot shoot the loop all the way around and always treats to pop up furs and the trunk is only one shot to start a mode which is very strange which gives people incentive to play moats Ryder than just hit the loop forever yeah and that's how you've been playing it today I have been playing just multiball vanish before multiball so you get a four ball multiball and yeah just go on from there like just vanish multiball vanish multiball and then after your second multiball you go ahead and start your vanish multiples now Ryan from comet pinball this is s you're talking so you and I are at the mere mortals your way unlike some of the greatest players in the world so what'd you find about later well we're not that we're not that shabby you've been doing good this weekend whether it feels like it or not I think it hasn't felt like I'm playing well at all but I've I don't know I'm in some be contention the first game of theater all of these games I would say are just super fast the slings are really tight the outlanes are huge so if you're making your shots then it's fair and there's two as you miss it's just embarrass this legs are really tight and they will shoot it down the outlane pretty fast but it does bounce a lot which gives you the opportunity to get it out of there and a big shout out to all the texts you talked about how these games are playing yeah Jim Bell sido Carl D'Python Anghelo Bob Matthews and the whole crew I know Derrick Thompson from Alberta came down these guys and women they did a fantastic job of getting these machines in tip-top condition and there has not been a problem if a game's gun down it's been fixed right away yet and I'm it's one of the best playing tournaments I've ever been in yeah the games have never been down longer than 30 minutes and that's like major malfunction and everything's running smoothly with like Carl software and the the stream setup here is amazing there's a TV above every game you can't really see it you'll see the booth in the background of the player it's a green screen with lots of lights and well yeah we'll be streaming tomorrow the Women's Championship I believe is the first thing gonna be streaming tomorrow here on ie pinball and hello to everyone watching there's Scott Steve Daniels from Vermont and who else we have there steve-o Pub thanks well yeah that's me is that you yeah you're just evil pump I am I've been streaming lately steve-o pub got a couple bits so cuz you need a hundred dollars with the bits to actually withdraw them so get Carl to enough bit so he can that's funny Bruce Wagner as well so thanks for watching the stream who's this this is Joe up right now and it looks like Damien's next yeah this theater is a great game and we're also seeing the score bit software too which I know Brian O'Neill and Jay talked a little bit about yesterday that's gonna be a big thing in pinball soon yeah it's really cool how you can actually just see the score live update it and for it really helps the people putting in the scores because it they don't actually have to type in the scores and they will automatically just tell you the score the moment they walk up that's crazy I can't tell you how many people have like wow is something I've been thinking about trying to come up with that and like multiple people were like hey I have this idea and this is the idea but no one else was executed on it yes it's a actual board inside of the game and it reads the actual numbers off of the it's good from a scorekeeping standpoint it's good from a streaming standpoint I know people watching competitions when there's four player action which we'll see tomorrow this certainly helps them kind of follow along yep for sure should we check another game out what do you think yeah let's uh let our producer picket well we should maybe go oh producers can pick I was gonna say Lady Luck because oh oh because everything just about to play it and then I'm gonna cue shortly are you on it as well yeah oh why would you do that oh they're calling me actually right now I think I'm all right no I'm just tied 10x bonus it's an X bonus yeah you won't see that yeah everyone Ryan's playing right there yeah 10x bonus so as it's been streamed in a while I mean I guess we should always start from scratch here explaining how to play this game spinner 10x and then you win can I leave my headphones on wall playing when you explain the game that would really help me a lot does the cord stretch that one well hey you want to know stupid I am and and we could go on forever at Lady Luck on the back glass that says complete something for extra ball and I've read it I'm like complete Rock for extra ball and I'm not trying funny what is this rock I'm not sure my buddy said it's Rach complete this and I'm like oh all of this stuff here I'm like oh I didn't know that so yeah that's uh that's the rack I thought it said Rock so I can't even read yeah no this is sweet we have tellest raishin yeah no that our producer will get rid of that there's a clear button and finger away a sure go ahead yeah so you can just you know it's like an etch-a-sketch alright remember that round this I do know I'm up see how to play it okay so so here's what Jeff's gonna try and do here this game you want to drop the center bank right there those five targets and then once those are down you want the two star targets stand ups right there yeah I'm trying to do there so those are gonna flash and then when you turn them solid then you're gonna get ten seconds is it ten seconds I think it's like seven seconds looks like 10 seconds of quotation you're gonna get a countdown that this is gonna start flashing right here all crazy and then you're gonna get a countdown on these inserts and then you just want to hit the spinner but you have to build the spinner by hitting the captured ball up top so it's up here yeah so he's gonna drain out the right out lane here yeah but it's a really man it's frustrating playing this game because you're just setting up this one big shot and it resets everything we're figuring that you could probably hit a four or five million point shot if you yeah great watch three have a 80 is 80 or the 8,000 spinner and then 10 exit4 he did eight 800,000 spin which is 80 wait no 80 80,000 has been 80,000 spin so almost a hundred thousand to spin and you got a good 30 spins off of it so it's like a three million shot Wow and I don't want to be playing this right now do you know what completing the lanes do is it anything oh yeah you can move this event this is the probably the loosest tilts and on the bank I don't know I was getting away with slide saves on Game of Thrones oh yeah still lose the ball from paint targets yeah the game of thrones here has been playing very evil but seems like people have gotten a hold of it towards the end it's a little bit hard to tell but it looks like he needs that center drop still yeah it looks like it's just the center drop and all of your progress resets every ball yep alright so he just needs one star in one middle target let's see thinking about it find it okay he did now he needs this right the flashing star on the right by the right upper flipper I would hit the captured ball here because spinners a very low value but he's interested in the star where you would you alley pass here chef's I mean I know you said you'd hit the captive Bob I would you're transferring then I'm gonna alley pass on this okay so he's he's trying to do a post pass right now where he's gonna bounce the ball off that did good for they can give up a little bit capture ball alright so he's gonna hit this star here and trying his spinner he's got it and now all the lights are going crazy at a time need to control the ball and hitting their upper loop still good value yeah over left yep that's 200,000 points almost we just that one shot okay so it's all about just getting that 10x and so if you have it on the right and you just don't have time dependent it to pass it over that over loop it's the way to go oh oh so this upper flipper it is so hard not to flip with that I don't know if you haven't even gotten the opportunity to it's a game it's just so to me I know not to that flipping is gonna be dangerous but there's something about the positioning and the way the lane and Outland are below it so that yeah I want to lift it up so that it doesn't just drop straight down it's like the upper flipper on Star Trek what am I supposed to hit like oh the upper loop this is still a really hard shot it is yeah so I think your rack holds over if you finish it well it doesn't you actually have to hit it all down for the tenants here oh you mean the drops yeah yeah you had you always have to start over with the drops you start over with everything why did you go for both of those stars out of the gate stone I don't know all right well that that loop holds though the loop shot built every shot you hit it and that holds between balls okay so that can be pretty valuable as well so it's like he's got one target left we need a drop target cam for this game yeah Oh during the hundred times all right do you think he's gonna remember how he drains when he gets back here we're gonna instant replay it that's a it's a producer says really is it is it really worth it just say well just say that first ball was terrible we said we wonder if you were gonna remember how you drained first ball I do it was up the lovely Asher could I have done it well first of all for why yeah you could play better well yeah so we were tight you had the you did have the 10x at the one point and Asher was recommending to actually go for that that left loop as you did cuz you're running out of time I was right my goal was to hit the spinner but I was on the wrong flipper so yeah I hope they captured ball because like the loop is good and it builds between each ball the spinners were like the huge points are at but you have to build it with the captured ball you know what I saw Jermaine play it and he was backhanding and it might have been Dave Stewart or maybe Carl or I thought was Jermaine backhanding on the left flipper hitting the captive ball but that cool yeah those are thick rubbers there if you have a look yeah they're thick rubbers and right there those are thick rubbers and the thing is I couldn't I couldn't back him I tried several times I couldn't do it so I kind of gave up and you have to hit it all like at least halfway back off the switch another thing about that backhand is that they they have a little bit of a flipper hop on the left flipper yes they do lane and then but to make that harder that spinner shot and that also makes the backhand harder because when you cradle the ball and you let go it doesn't always are to move right away and some can hang there and so the timing will be a little bit different and there's that hop you talked about there yeah Mark's trying to get his last target down I think of first stars there's his first set of drops he's got one star did you notice how I chickened out and I plunged when I was on the full bar already if I I'm not gonna go for another rack I know that's how you get your bonus and everything but I thought I'm just gonna try to go nice shot what was the we're almost 800,000 right there with that rip she's showing me up yeah man if it was a hundred thousand sinner and said well you're right but that's a still good value I think the most I've got that spinner Abbas is four thousand and it's tough to do there's a good hit now it's at four thousand Wow he's got one star yeah but he's on the wrong suit right now see how he's on the bottom he's now he's on the hearts he waits to change when you hit the number two and there are three number twos okay so that you have to have a great now he's on hearts I'm gonna demonstrate right there that's the hearts right there and he does not have that set completely that would not be a good place okay good luck Ryan let's make fun of them yeah now you can't hear us right that's right Ryan Wang ER from Comet pinball look at him run it's an Olympic sport here at index ah yes hey rocker it does carry over the left loop so that's also a viable strategy when it comes to hello - Greg dent lop ZZ top not sure who that is Zack parts oh is it yeah I dunno Zack well it looks like the camera look a little bit off on hey rocker waves from Portland hey hey you can watch some either Wanger or turtle nuclear annihilation that game that's brand-new from spooky pinball what do you think about it I have three favorite games of 2017 yep TNA is one of them ah I love dialed in and I'm I absolutely love I know this is an oddball thing to say maybe because there are so many great choices I really love Aerosmith yeah I love the flow of it I like the different the risk/reward of it is a lot different for a stern game oh my god the scoop opens just shot it down the alley look at that it may be it doesn't show well stream-wise or maybe it looks a little dark whatever this is a beautiful game the lighting is fantastic a night you know if the stream looks a little odd it's just I'm telling you this is a wonderful game and oh and he got his uh Inlet yeah he got his ball saver there so that keeps his 3x play field running this week and don't you love that that the ball saver that actually has a number okay that's not the car my favorite part of they scott the knees he Bravo yeah yeah oh there's another boss favor yeah the ball saver comes really easy cuz you only need three in Ling's you don't need actually all four Greg's here to cheer on his Portland pals who's here from Portland Greg let us know we'll say hi maybe try to find them and get them on a stream for you so on the top you see the number that's how close he is to finishing his reactor yes sixty it's a percentage right there yeah so so have to get up in that top area and there the spinner is like the main way you build it the main way that you build that number is the spinner for me but if you get into the slings up top it'll just instantly finish it so there you go there's the soccer hard and now it's ready to go the reactor is the pop bumper and it changes all the time Ryan did you forget something what happened to us in the middle here or where you want to go I'll go obviously a game malfunction I didn't oh yeah we've moved on we're watching Derek Thompson from Alberta from Edmonton he hosts a big tournament of the same time is Allentown in early May that's called YAG pin and YAG is the airport code for Edmonton yeg and pin pinball so huh huh there you go and up next is Donny Monica he's a quite a character you've ever met Johnny Monica but if you have you know what I'm talking I just talked to him for an upcoming pinball profile - and I risked my life doing it I want to point out because I know I'm sure have the Monica flake yes we've already experienced in Monica for at least Carl has yeah kicking a so so here we go we've got Stacy brenna Derek Andy and Colin from Portland I know yeah I know Colin did very well I saw some of the scores and the number one score on Robo award really yeah okay I don't know if at stake but last time I checked it was if you want to follow along just go to never drains comm it's that simple the great software from Carl and because this is this tournament you don't have to type anything after that never dreams calm and you can find out all the stats on the men's another mentor the main and the classic and the with us so the main a be the classics a be the women's which we're gonna stream tomorrow way and that's and there's another tournament I think a little side tournament that will be streamed but it's a really good tournament it's a for people I think with a certain ifba that is not very high up a ranking and it's open to it was a pin golf tournament that's what it was over on the other side yeah that's great yeah do we know anything about that like what happened I don't but I certainly loved the idea man this game was going so well you had a million lines first ball and it's on the part and he's going for his locks here so there's two skill shots on the game like the main skill shots up top there's the four lanes and that's one of the skill shots but the main part of the skill shot is if you don't move the upper lanes and you plunge it it will complete a grid set which is right here just immediately and that does it that's pretty dangerous most people you have to use a mole so we would say this so if you on the top lanes if you plunge into the top lane without moving it it will complete a grid set for you okay and the other reading your first reactor is late yep and the other skill tries if you short plunge without flipping the left flipper and backhand the locks without hitting any other switches it'll give you 17 seconds of ball saver which can be used to one-time it no you can live catch it yeah it's not on the timer but you can't hit any other switches interesting okay so you shouldn't just be flipping the left flipper there for any reason if you don't short point and you shouldn't be a flipping your flippers anyways because if you move the atop lanes at all then you won't get to great them oh so you can't okay so if you move it from the starting position that's what cancels it yep I thought you got to pick your lane and then you couldn't move it after that okay no I think it's the original winning interview all right Lou so we'll start from the beginning here so I have not been able to college those top lanes at all today I don't know if I and that's ball one at 1000 points there's no ball saved there's no play field validation and you're just out yeah so he punches up top is there anything interesting you can do while he's up here if he completes the is at 1 2 3 up top it will max his next Jenner reactor that's the word so my mouth my mouth is so tired you know this is a long two days I was wondering a burglar well do you know what pin burg there's at least a break right and there's even a break after the rounds you're up a lot but someone else decides when you play a pin Burgin here you can just play forever yeah I am so I am so bad right now I was just so tired I don't I think of guys who do the sanctum and and how tough that would be and my oh the sanctum would it's like that doesn't sound fun like I love I think that's fun I don't think people at all I know I think some guys some women and about the game the sanctum oh and it is punishing more the day after because yeah you're so you're kind of everyone's kind of in the same boat while you're playing but it's the day after that's really real and then pinball said you can't actually move it while it's in the ceiling ok so ok so yeah so you can move it around so if you have like one of them down on this shot than would like to congratulate the eight people that have made it to the classics semi finals I guess Carl D'Python Anghelo drove the bus and is moving on Peter Frank also in that group we've got Phil Birnbaum from Ottawa gene Luen who I've never met before my goodness is gene a fantastic player yeah I had no idea who he was until I came out here and someone told me a little bit about genes background what a great player yeah he's a legend I guess photography's great as well yeah so who else advanced Raymond Davidson and Jermaine and they were in the same group too so uh double Seattle push through there and also Tony Lavinia I hope I said Tony's last name right and we'll McKinney are the eight people that advance the classics which we'll be watching tomorrow here on AE pinball great so do we know anything else about I about what has gone on in in classic so far I mean I was talking to Robert Gallo and E he tilted through well Robert was in my group okay so Robert and myself and we're on hello Robert germane myself and I want to say his name right so I don't I don't have a look again I'm so tired Peter yeah Peter Frank who did I say he advanced while he's playing really well so Peter and Jermaine advanced in our group now Robert and I were playing on Aztec he did a little side shuffle it tilted it's an e/m game we're playing four players and it did tilt through it wasn't like he lifted the machine but it is in the M&A absolutely right until today's guys without unfortunate for Robert and to Canadians got the boot right there and if you don't know what that is exactly tilt through is yeah you tilt the machine and then it is the dope bob is still swinging and it tilts the next players turn as well and in tournaments that's a disqualification haven't you're you've taken zero for the game and so Bob's trying to get a skill-shot here if you're gonna switch it will you have the skill shot it now you can add three balls to this yeah if you want to show that Ryan that would be great yes hard to really there basically you want to go up this ramp and just saw up on ramp and then it comes back down into this before instead of going through the yeah where and yeah so that will give you balls for your overall like rack and that will get you closer to the hay and have you been doing nine ball nine balls the selection I assume you're doing those well why sure yeah nine ball I also played this this actual one yeah oh wow I avoided it I'm not a huge fan of the game you probably play it now but here we go I have a question here from MN pinball Minnesota pinball assume we're not sure but how much qualifying time is left in the tournament we it so it goes to 11 right lovin a little bit yes we've got about an hour and 40 minutes left and then an hour of volunteer time this tournament doesn't happen without the great volunteers so I think it's a great idea for tournament directors to have that volunteer time yeah and that can be huge and that really motivates players to actually volunteer and it really helps out the tournament everything yeah thank you to everyone who's done whose Oh score keep for any reason to Jay from San Francisco I think I've seen him do a few different shifts and really really impressed with so many people here yep yeah the traveling note for Bob it's always that's his overall profile pic for all never greens tournaments there's a big so Oh neat did you see what Scott or with Steve Daniel set from Vermont player one if they play pool sharks tomorrow that will determine it for player two three and four I didn't know that if they pick what ball versus nine ball I didn't know that well you picked nine ball right you know I always pick nine most people pick nine ball things like and that's because you can you only have to get well explain what the difference is between well so this shot right here you can see the blinking shot right there that's gonna light the six ball the four light is out right now so that's the next one then another one these targets will light up you have to get one through eight and then the nine ball will be lit the eight ball is up this Lane and so and this lane is well - and then you have to do it again to get the nine ball that will light a three million hurry up right there and get you closer to your jackpot as well which can be jackpots are done by spelling these three letters right here the rollovers cue these three stand-ups here the green ones and the other one is the rack itself so then not once he who's playing right now once Derrick goes up that ramp he'll have another character and the characters are right here and this is the jackpot Lane right there yep so once it's kind of kind of like taxing the way he's like you pick up your presser you progress as you go and when the jackpot shows up it can be extremely lucrative and it's in the show is the three million they usually show up around the same time so Oh Ryan's off I measure I am what were we saying they're so tired yeah about a jackpot and three million lining up well that's it about the jackpot I've seen some people have a I want to say four and a half million jackpot maybe seven and others I saw another person get 1.5 I mean it's unfortunate but makes a difference I like what they have taxi here by the way and they the minimum jackpots a million the maximum was 1.5 it's fair for everyone I thought it was always 1.5 I thought I thought it said a minimum maximal on that yeah definitely designed to say that but I'm not sure if that's actually what it was I thought it was always that one five but well when I got it several times it was only one five I actually had a good tax yeah one five was a max and then it said like one two one five and I think it's always one five so that's always really nice when a game is a summary you know it's like playing a taxi where the jackpot builds it's like oh it's you know someone gets a jackpot and like a million and someone else that gets it later for like 4.5 it's like it's not really a fair tournament game but with the rom or is it a ROM or is it just a setting I'm really not a hundred percent sure I'm not sure at all yeah so right now the jackpots lit right there that's the shot and it is and the jackpot is 6.3 yeah and I'll tell you how Derek and I were talking just earlier he's just playing for fun now he's so tired he's like I've got a few Angie's left I'm just gonna play some games see he's kind of out of it but he's like yeah you know what it's been more 2/3 so a number one on this will take him yeah maybe oh we got an extra ball it's nothing extra ball I think is about 200 grand in this it's actually worth something yeah but not level it's 200 grand when you've got nine all right yeah and when there's three million shots and yeah six million shot opens he's working the middle shot trying to yeah that tea leather they alive and I'm like it's gonna be happy with that store though yep solid score he's got two x plus one rack there so that's gonna be a decent bonus might be half a million white tiger yep so oh all right so I want to go pick another game picking our game let's see Oh maybe see some monopoly it's a very rare tournament game to see because I think your dad might be playing is that why you wanna go to monopoly oh is he all right think he is oh yeah I didn't even see I see someone with headphones on yeah and see cargo shorts oh hey Adam yeah he's in the multiball right now I just drained out I say so he's at 10 million his goal I think it's 20 million so he's working so the main strategy is to work your land grab which is on the it's on the board if you get to the end it can be very lucrative and community forth like I'm I think my land graph was like 3 million which can be and now the bad land grab so this time and I was target so he doesn't have to like worry about hitting in anything so yep so it's just kind of hit the ramp hit the shot roll the dice it will if the dice roll is in like in 12 it will always roll the correct number for you to get on the right mode so if you're you know 12 or more away it's actually random alright if you can actually land on a place that you haven't done yet it will always alright okay so that makes the super mode easier to get to that's spinning flipper where the utilities are it's actually pretty safe it is on this machine I've seen somewhere it kicks it right down the middle but really your plunge to be into that into that saucer right to start your moves yep looks like Evans on board hello Evan yep oh I wasn't then laying in the one Outland alright so is it every ball counts on this game because you can't really do everything on one ball so you can actually so if you there's a scoop right there he just missed it that's kind of like The Addams Family skill shot yeah it's very nice when you get it because it's your moat stretch your moat so all right so trying to just get it back under control hit the ramp not that ramp you know your dad's best score is on this 15 million 15 million you think yeah that's what it says there wait oh did it scroll let's go on do it I'm not only tired for from talking I'm tired of looking too so yeah always he's 13th right now okay oh they're yelling at me for Lady Luck I get this I'm gonna I'm gonna let them I'm gonna pass and I'll come back okay I'll wait till Ryan Ryan's been playing a long time yeah I think he went and got something to eat I don't believe he's been playing this long especially on game of thrones he actually goes for wall he doesn't go for the black water so I watched Keith he had King red-handed King ready didn't touch a toe ball three all he did left spinner left-center left-center left-center left spinner I did that too except on ball three I didn't hit yeah he was getting ten million a orbit for whatever the that's actually a pretty small orbit oh it was he was only level four right yeah you can get up to like level five yeah and it's like 15 million a shot you're not including play field multipliers there you go he drained out I think you got to like 13 million but yeah 13 6 it's going for 20 million and scores have been pretty high on monopoly so all right so Alex Samanta is up next if we get everyone's getting a thousand five hundred points on the start of their game you know you know why that is don't you isn't it the target no all today all right let me tell you young man it when you play Monopoly the board game everyone starts with $1,500 cash Oh real that's why so it's a novelty oh that's that's funny it is kind of funny I remember the first time I play that I'm like ah you might want to do that they're yelling at me huh oh they want me on TV like I'm gonna stay until lion comes back yeah Wow again to mess the Outlands right now the right slings been a little bit finicky so it likes to fire randomly and you can mess you up a little bit um and that's a game yeah monopoly can just go that way sometimes all right just doesn't give you any any luck at all I see Jim bill Seto beside us still standing still still look yeah still doing a great job yeah player technician yeah Christian he's a quite a commercials look at picture specials from Seattle who is the number one ranked state player and can you imagine playing in washed in with all those players so he was I said so you're number one you you maybe have an easy bracket he looked at me like what are you talking about oh yeah you got raised out of the bracket he's got Raymond he's got Dave Stewart he's got Jermaine and then I'm forgetting some other people too but just is a fertile Seattle right yeah I'm not sure if he's a press player number two I don't know what'd you end up with oh gosh I my previous high was for something and I got five something I made him a real big mistake on the last ball I came out of I needed like one two shots and Tyrell to get to hand of the king oh wow and I started Tyrell and I tried to backhand the right ramp which I had done like not thirty seconds earlier and then it doesn't is strong enough yeah it goes like sorry grand for the middle room to start growing dark oh yeah the shark ramp you have to be hitting it on the fly too back then it's been like that all weekend it's really annoying me that game way harder it just learned the lesson and not you know like it yeah dangerously and then I did it again cuz I just that's what I do on mine and I'm so you know so used to it so he's playing some modes here he's shooting the bank for points so alright so he's just playing the mode you can actually get a lot of points from it if you consistently hit it without draining but it's a pretty dangerous shot I want to see this let's see how much it was yeah a million 5 1.5 million that's uh that's the say huge maybe not worth a drain but you know complimentary water from Carl himself Thank You Carl Thank You Carl it's it's so hard I mean it's uh I'm tired you know we have to go off-site it together something to eat unless you want a hotdog I've had a hot dog but I I'm feeling it right now there's no that ton of restaurants around Bandung but oh there's lots yeah I hit a curl I'm just I'm Canadian right so a Carl's jr. we don't have those checked one all right sure in-and-out burger had to do that in California did that in LA no little flipper you've had an in-and-out before no I've never had never I haven't what didn't live up to the hype Jack I gotta tell you and I'm not being paid by anyone I'm more of a what a burger guy Whataburger has got my heart I'm gonna leave you right now five seconds at best Lady Luck here I come five seconds at best only 10x bonus it's hard to get out of his boots without falling into the green screen yeah all right so he's ball three five million he's working on just modes and everything so that's his game have you played Monopoly yep this weekend I have I have did you give your little your review of it or assessment of how it plays plays great it punishes you for no reason oh I would say it punishes you for reasons and no reach you know yeah it will it's just like whether you serve it or not what we might move over to Game of Thrones here there we are looking at most of the the main bank yep starting from Metallica all the way over the okay so here we have Bart balm and you know just finish up his game looks like Oh robert-houdin stepping up yep see if anybody can get going there have been some brutally short games yeah so this weekend on Friday no matter where you shot the tyrell targets from it would find a way to drink but now if you hit just the top one it will usually give you a good feed so you search Martell which you know probably probably the bets mode because you only get two seconds of ball saver in black water if you can even get there so it's ball one so so have now have you been shooting Tyrell targets directly yep I have okay lately I've been really into shooting the shooting off of here the Baratheon targets like we just did yep that he did claim unlock I don't know yeah sorry you're right he got one of the stand-ups he didn't get to luck but the outlanes are wide open there's no rubbers over there so I haven't seen David at all but Timmy's been he's been going hard he's might get a bye so see that's an average game at the drones game I've seen my worst score was under a million I've seen other people with under a million it's just like Oh Green targets outlay green targets now so now okay despite these changes that are you did you keep to play it any differently are you still yes I'm taking Martel in the hand of the king otherwise okay I don't take Zac Stark in so it's easier to get there because what I do is I go Tyrell to black water and then I play Tyrone Lance turn black water and then I come out usually with the multiplier if I can get to my super jackpots and then you drop a 700 Martell because Martell is huge if you got a multiplier so when you play Martell do you how do you make the do is there an order you do for the shops do you need to raise your combo multipliers at home here in the broadcast so you uh I if you have a 3x so you just go spinner spinners spin around and if you're really feeling it can go spinner ramp spinner ramp spinner ramp out spin around and that'll and that'll be maxed out here max out everything okay depending on if you finish Lannister or Tyrell going in and you have a 4x it's gonna be over a billion easily and I usually keep Marcel for after my hand at the king when I have a big multiplier coming out because and it's just in our ability in that you can do just like right there so good save there CV oh okay so you got one of the two targets in a sling fire so that is happening all over all these games this weekend it you'll notice the ball was just rolling across the front of this it will fire and it fires yep so you you have to be on your toes all the time and the feed from the popovers or not is now hitting the sling yeah which is never fun oh there's his first lock lit and he got the hard target and he got the inland but he his Greyjoy people work great joys uh I think it's a fine mode to do a single ball play there's just a lure of the light so just don't drag down the middle it's the worst one you have your lights okay down the men so he just accidentally did a thing which I had done in earlier this weekend which is he has a lock lit and he hasn't claimed it and it and he hit the two more targets again but it doesn't attack walks like that so he kind of smaller chin it didn't get credit for that progress but here he's got one of them already and so he'll help keep that progress for now doesn't give you enough time all right I do like how Star Wars when you it resets the time you kind of how long time to think about it there's a lot of choices there here it gives you like four to Mojang at six seconds three it's 13 and then four so right I'm up next on Game of Thrones so I'm gonna just move to the side oh well I know you weren't watching it so there's no documentation I guess we get the roll back we're pay for a while but I had my spinner at 4,000 and I ripped it with ten not enough just under a million oh really yeah so I thought I would have got a lot more on the spins but yeah all Game of Thrones boys has been it's fun to watch this weekend yes alright so let's talk about what I'm gonna do no no actually waited watching we should talk about Sheldon here but I have you been seeing people I've started maybe transitioning towards going for wal have seen been seeing people do that honestly with the green targets you know being nicer lately it's uh I feel like wall just doesn't quite give you enough wiggle room though alright so you think just direct for the targets is the way to go so he just started Martel and Greyjoy which looks like he wants to finish these modes before he goes into his Blackwater so then his hand of the king will be ready right after he drains out and he still needs one more target to light his locks for multiball or just Targaryen he does his target so of course it's common for people to just pass modes until they have until they're multi balls right or multi balls ready and don't do that in there but that's great right - that's trouble yeah that's a great now if routine all weekends all right good I'm just trying to find out a question from 3 X 200 about Street who I was talking to earlier and David Taylor I I don't know I'll do tailor scoring I certainly know I've heard him a lot yeah yeah I haven't seen him really playing much but it said Timothy's playing hard he's he was 9th for the last time I talked to him probably about three hours ago you want to check that out let me see I see Tim in 10th right now and Taylor his 33rd so needs about right now the cut lines at 556 David Taylor's at 5:17 so seven games counting in this bank of fourteen I mean you probably need a couple of games there Oh so watching Ryan here talking about how he's been shooting lower the light targets to bounce into the green targets which can be you know you get your lord of the light and you get your locks oh oh yeah so can't really see but there's no rubber on the out lane oh that's an RJ that we've been seeing a lot of yes we have target to the power outlet so no alliance with Colorado too right yes he hosts fewer yes he's Boulder right yep older wishes like half an hour okay so and comment pinball big sponsor here at in disc yep last year as well too so thanks Ryan for supporting this great tournament yes I think you and you and I and your father we're talking I'm looking forward to going out to Colorado in April oh yeah I'm gonna be there for a few days and I guess I'm gonna be hitting some Sunday night first tournament of the month tournament I'm going to a Rockies game oh yeah and there's a tournament Sunday nights the first Sunday of every month yeah that's the Helene iment as we call it oh it's a Liana oh great Illya Lilliana yeah yeah she moved to Denver recently all right so yeah so the Halina meant it's a tournament it can we come and she moved to Denver recently and I had our own pinball profile just recently on her on her one-year anniversary of her Navin sweating he almost went to the wedding but uh he had a lot of stuff on so he couldn't quite make it I mean it was actually it was on a tournament date wasn't it yeah it was in the one up this is yeah one of the places were one up yeah yeah it is the one up in the other one up but we caught the two up Canada we have seven of its greater alright so he's got two locks you got one to go got the top popped it over one more light don't know yeah this is wings sometimes give it to you but you don't be relying on that no greyjoy not quite there yet so Ryan owns a couple games in a bar called AB arcade called press play and Game of Thrones is one of the games there I think it's a Nelly though so ok he knows what he's doing oh it almost gave it to him this is a great you must love this game I it's my favorite isn't at the moment yes every time I play it I like it more and more more and when I just so much nuance to it well when I first played it I had no clue what to do yeah and you once you learn it it's it's very rewarding a great Stern game from Steve Ritchie the camera in that yeah so I would start those two yeah those are the year it's the best Lannister Greyjoy but Tyrells really hard to finish in single ball plays so by doing it you're going all out on it you pick those two because there's close close by in nature is that why you choose those two no I choose great Lannisters a heart you can't finish Lancer and single ball play because not single but right now in multiple it makes sense oh yeah that one's basically you're taking that one in all the time okay and then Greyjoy's all your multiball jackpots shots so you're shooting everything everything so it's not really the both in nature they're both like just lucrative into your yeah but before he can get that would he call that thing the battering ram in a log or that's lit for jackpots what does he have to do he has to hit all the shots so there's two Lannister shots left right and then Greyjoy shots well yeah so you need all the jackpots and the two jackpot shots are on the middle ramp oh yeah adds a ball I had a ball that's why you picked Martell now do you pick Martell cos always what you do - you're a great player right I see some of the better players picked Tyrell no four handed the King read you want me to go throw in all the reasons why I don't think why sure give me the Coles Notes version I'm curious I really don't there's four main reasons and three main reason okay reason one you are shooting this targets anyways and you're when you he looks up at the camera you're shooting those targets anyways and you're not progressing that anything when you're hitting them you're just hitting winter is come he's coming targets right eye leads it to my second point after you get all through your locks your winter is coming starts and you can still sort your multiball when it's running but it will lock you out from all your modes okay so that's no good because then you have to hit another shot and the third reason is you don't get your out-of-pocket earning multiball I feel like the multiplier on the in Lane does not compare that well to the outer ball you know a well-fought answer and I've learned a little bit see if I can apply it that's another story so there's next time I was playing whodunit whodunit you never see in tournaments you know it was in pin burg oh if Kaylee and uh with Carl yeah yeah you got ten billion because what was the thing on that the elevator didn't go down didn't go down yeah that was the [ __ ] didn't go back up I guess it wasn't bad master Greyjoy yeah you pick the right thing it ended up being a kind of low score I had to dig it all out on ball three I noticed your modest looking into the camera a few times after a few successful shots yeah so I knew you guys were watching I wanted to be wife why did he just pass on the roulette I'd love to say I know you might have already done a real life so you always lose the first one and you always win the second line goes back and forth internally so yeah in tournament mode and then it's like Randleman so you want to risk a low amount so ball one you're just going for that what score you laid it by either hitting the roulette shot itself or right there we're hitting that shot twice in a row sorry I'm off yeah that also like shall be festive so you hit those either the roulette shot just one shot or you can combo the taxi which is excellent yeah what does comboing of Texas yeah dumb it down a sure yeah what is that it's where you just hit that shot twice in a row with this shot right here your thumbs around and then you just one-time it back up okay that it because it goes under the ramp and then over the ramp and this is roulette is now lit so hey that's my initials okay so he's right down the first one which is three fingerprints which gives you a deep bullet which could see on the play field the second one's five million Carl told me the most important thing to start off with is get the revolver yes why is so important because when you're at normal multiball and you hit the loop it will feed the popovers and each pot bumper ads five million of your jackpot for the rest of the game and it carries a simple one yes okay so there's a bunch of ways you can eat the robber it's on the sixth floor on the elevator it's on your third spin for me there your outline or your spin shots or you I think there's a couple you can find evidence maybe ah no evidence I'm not sure there's one other way evidence would make sense I think you can actually get it on the random pop um person I think it's actually one of the things yeah I'm lost the way I haven't been playing this game this weekend and you know what it's it's a great game to learn on the Farsight app - yeah the pinball arcade thanks for that and I've had that for years you think I would have learned it so you do not want to go into the basement yeah yeah nice yeah so you don't want to go into the basement till you have your revolver for sure so as I was saying the spins are extremely important because you can move around on oh he's picking it's Casey Butler it's always Casey Butler are you being serious it is always fun no it's not the clue they give you it's either he didn't even get yours random he has a one in four chance oh you didn't have a clue but when they give you an answer it's either them or the person they're talking about right okay and they will talk about two people yes yeah then you just kind of get screwed there so he's gonna wait for the shot to move back onto that yeah I noticed Carl now is produced we had somebody else producing so it's funny comes on right during whodunit the master himself what are you talking about can we get some star wipes and some other effects going on here the instant replays yeah so speaking of wipes you'd think here at Indus with Karl's tournament when Gianni Monica plays I know we were congratulating comet pinball the great sponsor for years here thanks for getting that you think you would have had maybe some sanitary wipes or some Purell or what Monica so a comment brand it just something an annotation yeah so just for our own safety but we thing yeah I've got Medicare when I wear I live back again I'm fine but I I'm just worried about my American friends I had some I've left out some coin holders earlier today some like spring loaded coin holders with our logo on it and maybe we could put like wet wipes inside of there yeah not oh look at this so the paparazzi it happens all the time you get used to it actually you must have be ready with the air in 20 half a 20 championship are you blowing doubted Papa 21s being delayed a little bit you know that means I get to be the champion for multiple years he's the only person who could say that right everyone else is where is it it's a win-loss yeah I'd love to play in more Papa's but I don't think I'm gonna be we're gonna be seeing it for a little bit you really think so yeah so the spins are extremely important this game while talking about them earlier but the first one gives you a bullet or an evidence which is just kind of it lights your phone yep the second one is five million the third one is bascially revolver okay or it gives you equipment okay the first one is the revolver then the magnifying glass yeah and then the third one if you drain with it it will give you a second chance and that will actually give you your ball back and then the fifth one is multiball so usually when I will have your revolver buy that multiball and it can be extremely lucrative if you drain with that spin on your outlet okay so Carl put a bunch of Monica pictures up on me the Monica player and I see can't hear us right now yep your currents oh yeah Carl's producing and he puts up the standings right now this is actually not updated I know it's not is it I don't think it is here let me wait tough to say why he gets updated is that is that refresh did you put up an Earth's core why'd you put out Carl I did a twelve million on pool sharks so you had to put this up here so it's funny enough last year's champ Carl D'Python Anghelo right now sitting in first Zac sharp who only arrived today instead I could really put it a little bit of and we're looking at key fell went to another person who arrived oops just today so it's a lot of good players qualifying still on the cut so I overheard that Keith today saying that he doesn't really like byes you know he doesn't like buys doesn't like he doesn't want to buy and it's it's really strange because he wants to play against players that he feels like he has a better chance to be warmed up so when he goes into how interesting the by around he's warmed up and he thinks he's the only person who would say I don't want buys we all would love buys one of our great sponsors here captain's auction warehouse also endless pinball SoCal based pinball sales repair and restoration say hi to Pat choy endless pinball calm they paid for extra time oh there's a good one right Ryan there's common pinball for all your LED needs have you guys run the commercial already no yeah let's see the commercial Oh any more water here common pinball has the largest selection of lighting products for your pinball machines at the lowest prices common pinball is started by Arthur Hebert in 2013 in Florida and in 2016 it was time for him to retire and so he posted on the forums and I saw it and reached out to him and just this crazy idea that I pitched to to my wife Janet I said yes immediately it was like yeah let's do this and I'm a gut person so it felt right we flew out there and counted all the bulbs and put them in a u-haul and drove them back to Colorado and now this is our life comment pinball is special because Ryan has so much passion for the game and we also have one of the best employees ever and he just makes things move so smoothly we have over a thousand different products not only just sort of standard bulbs that you can plug right in but things that you can add to your machine to create lighting where there wasn't fighting before sometimes working with your your spouse is easier and sometimes it's harder and you know we're in it as a team and I like that I think it's made us stronger as a couple I do love them though I mean I'm I think about it every day and you know everybody needs something to be passionate about and something that symbol [Music] all right so we didn't get the audio for that here in the booth but I think you wrote it it was great I'm sure here's Jermaine who asked here Marissa asked how do we do on The Price is Right there were seven of us on Thursday that attended a taping of The Price is Right all I'm allowed to say is definitely watch it it'll be airing on April 5th we'll post that on pinball profile to remind people it's it was a lot of fun simple players there Phil Birnbaum and I were the first to get tickets and then quickly after that Donovan step from Colorado Fred Richardson punky Fred also on board DJ from Pittsburgh was there Nate made these fantastic together Nate hurt me though yeah yeah really really good and I'm who else am I forgetting I'm so tired right now there were seven of us I'll get old Jason Wilkie Jason was there yeah so all seven of us there got pretty good seats and it was a a fun show let's just say that April April fifth it was great all right so we're watching some pool sharks again it's a it's not germane up though I know that will McKinney put in a spring classic it's a great player from Arizona so he's got kind of limited options in his area for big tournaments well you know another great player from Arizona here Tracy Lindberg and Tracy has done so much in Arizona area in fact I want to say it's Phoenix I hope it's not Scottsville but I thought it was Phoenix I'll be talking to Tracy a little bit later but she started the bells and chimes there she's gonna be participating in the state championship she's so proud she's so excited and I remember the very first time I saw her was at her very first pin burg event and she was so excited to be there and she took pictures of everyone she was playing with and really got to know Tracy and fantastic player I thought I had a fan there in the chat but I think it was just someone saying hi to the person who was saying hi to you Jeff all right oh is it oh this must be Brian C from head to head pinball podcast mark his partner Martin Robbins is here from Australia from the Melbourne area I just listened their show for the first time yesterday isn't it going to and from yeah there's a hit morning yeah great with those two they were really laughing a lot and especially that about the kangaroo I got a caring person I've got one I got two actually yeah rainy pocket III put them in my car but I do actually yeah guys are I'm definitely a fan of their show and they've been a few shout outs about the ball profile so mutual respect for Martin and even you Ryan see I'm gonna step out for a moment for some more Lady Luck all right good luck all right so for Ecch 4,000 spinner isn't good enough you say okay I got it I got it but all the way to the 10000 oh boy all right play like a sure if we all just good for once how school been high school well why didn't experience yeah it's it's it's great there so high school is always a lot of fun my boys are grade 10 grade seven and the grade seven is in a junior high so he's a little guy so he is probably the smallest of school guys and girls included and I was there too so anyway thanks Owen might be explaining the game to him hello hello sponsors in the back that's right what game were you most excited for when he came in skirt I was excited to play in the tournament and see how it went I I like the classics games I'll say this there wasn't one game I was like oh is that in the lineup yeah so every game was well you know that game was barbed wire for me but yeah barbed wire it's a it's been known as a bit of a turret I think was the end of God leap to I believe you want to hit the and I'm have to say it I'm not trying to be politically incorrect yeah hit fat so which is the character's name yes it fats over yeah to start everything it's it's certainly not a fun game and yeah you probably hit the one I didn't want to play the most I'm actually not a big monopoly fan yeah I wasn't either then I got a good score on it and now I am that makes you a fan if you get a good score on it yeah well I watched a lot of first play it and it was I learned how to play it oh that's actually really funny the so the monitor is actually taken directly from the game but it's not the color DMD we have a color DMD but the one here it's just a normal DNA that's but this dragula has been brutal really III find that what everyone else except for me apparently because III I have done it's not hopping on the coffin shock it's amazing this is awesome the bats shot was just the floor and I have you know for lightning flippers you can sometimes be tough yeah it's it's been playing great I Aragon someone that's been beating me up and I oh yeah that Paragon is so playable but man if you make one mistake it will find you it'll just find you an exit the Beast the Beast has got me the beast is like 50/50 it's actually a pretty forgiving if you're bumping to keep the flippers up and maybe you can get it out every now and then I think a bendex was watching head to head pinball had a Facebook live and Martin asked me and and he asked me about to say hi to people in Austria and I did and I told Martin I said really should go on your own you don't need that right and he's kind of dead weight you know look at Sony's year when cher cher still performing in Vegas you know sunny something got hit by a tree sadly and had died skiing or something tragic like that I don't wish that on Ryan but I was just trying to say there's some dead weight there now that being said had Ryan been filming I would accept the same thing about Martin so I'm very fickle yeah alright so he's got two locks on his coffin and he's not done this batch yet so it's ramp time now five is your missed seven is your first castle lock he just shot for his coffin so I guess he just wants to play a multiball here that's all that was this thing is really tilty I have no idea how he just got away with those two saves that was really well and he's done yeah this thing's been really till T slap save tilts and whatnot so it's good skill shots down see ya read this yeah Jonah Ryan suddenly hits a tree yeah George George George of jungle watch over that tree there buddy yeah it happens trying it started missed either flipper as an opportunity to turn multiball okay so see if you can turn off in here oh you didn't quite get it Oh everything's lit let's hit something I know it's the hardest oh is that that ultra kick outs been really dodgy oh you've had bad ones yeah I've had it top of the swing left out Lane here we go alright here we go bumpers be forgiving you know rats right now began you usually want to start your 2x first oh that was oh oh there you go get up there get it going oh you'd really once she's missed come on pop bumpers just get something going get those rats that's gonna be worth much unless if you have a higher multiplier than yeah yeah so if you had you know two multi balls I would have been 26 and that's multiball you got really unfortunate that miserable yeah it's gonna yeah it it goes into the scoop a lot so by the way cheered another great volunteer here I want to point that out this tournament doesn't happen yeah Jarrod did a couple of hours so thanks very much yep oh it's coming together at the end yep that's all Danger Danger tilt those math scores over 169 million so he was trying to save it there nothing the risk yep comet pinball thanks very much Ryan winger a lot of people from all over yeah the packs are here from New Zealand we talked about yep Martin Robbins as well from Australia as a few of us Canucks that have made the track anything to get out of the snow give a lot of snow in Colorado ah that's been just cold yeah we haven't even gotten a good snow it's all disappointed yeah spooky pinball another great sponsor as well he's right hey the cameras fixed now Oh on the Robo war was it I think it's out this is an inch I've never seen this game before so normally right here there is a gate that will you can cradle up and it's really nice no gate so it goes out here if you try to yeah you can't roll up psycho I'm gonna shield it the flipper and it just rolls see you later yep and you're done so Dave Stewart yep really really solid player see what he can do here I think you need about six million for a good score Wow Wow so what I was when I'm watching players the key is to get up here and lock your ball think of sorcerer yeah it's like sorcerer you hit the ramp and then when you're in multiball you hit the ramp so yeah so then the ramp will stop you go underneath it and then once you're in multiball these drop targets are huge points I saw Keith do it so it had to be worth something is it just those or is it the green ones I think I don't think the green yeah should be like the green ones you're talking about I can't see the first one but there's two here there's three here and then the ones right there's no one okay and another big thing I saw a lot of players do advanced X by Y at this right orbits there's another one here but it's not lit right now post-processing is extremely dangerous without that oh yeah yeah because the gap is huge you may be yeah it's like and it looks like where the metal it starts like right like oh that's right there like that yellow line that's basically where the balls gonna fall off our producers asleep at the wheel yeah the very first game that I played on this yesterday I didn't know about that gate not being I mean there's a sign of it I should have read but I shaft from the left to the right if I went over the hole and came back and with the spinner well that's the thing about this you want to get the out lane here and kind of it'll go around there if you don't get if you get the in Lane see you later goodbye there's no way to save that right no ever move the post there guys actually saved one what okay if you look at here we go yeah it's kind of like there's oh there she is a little post right there that's been removed yeah you need a good feed you needed to like rattle like bounced off and then when you get leverage then you can knock it back in all right but otherwise you can't yeah we're talking about mere mortals here oh adjust his glasses yeah it's like oh god no one is Eve tells us the exes move around with the switch hits oh so he's talking about the advance ex you can see one right now on the left side and one at the top of the right orbit yep right now he's just got to get under the ramp he did it here goes multiball cradle up Oh oh that's so yeah so I was hearing that the ramp is the big points during multiball as well you can't look up top you can see the screen so keep an eye on I'm gonna watch the scores but watch those drop targets if he gets any of them there's just not enough to really see yeah so the number of Colin has the number ones Colin Irvin has the number one score well he told me as he just hit the ramp during multiball over and over and over again he was like nine million or eight million on it I really saw a really good solid score see I don't know who's game well enough to know if that'll stick all night or not but we're coming into the final hours of the non scorekeeping yeah 50 minutes left yep so in the widen the the queues are on most games probably about five deep don't care it only has two what's wrong with junkyard there you go let's go I feel like you could almost saved that but if you're in multi-body I cry at all you can just hit the ramp again the 14 games we've got barbed wire Dracula Bram Stoker's Dracula Thrones junkyard Lady Luck Metallica le monopoly Paragon pool sharks Robo war taxi theater of magic total nuclear annihilation whodunit and we'll go to the next request you picked one of those 814 games and one of that next whoever has the fastest internet gets the big the game who's gonna pick the next one we go do hi hi so what happened oh that's no that's not great just no it's yes it's snowing urine it was last time we came here there was snow on the ground and it was raining and there was raining here yeah last year it was raining all three days I was miserable to go outside the stereotype is when it rains in California no one knows how to drive is that true all right TA is the winner no actually oh WHO dunnit we've done it is the all right sorry we'll go who will go we'll go WHO dunnit then junkyard then TA yep that's it for the request sorry there Steve WHO dunnit uh Johnny Monica yes I hope he's I hope he's he's like that his first biscuit oh now he's a dog now he's I would go for it really wait am I gonna lose though guarantee 500 yeah 500 million nothing a 2.5 billion later you really would have wished wristed okay so now he's not gonna play roulette at all well first time II got a really low spin okay well his best score is actually 2.5 billion so a 2.4 billion so actually I wouldn't if I was in situation but I'm playing to you know blow it up 10 million is what ravemon score was so look at this Oh whole didn't I do all okay so this is his third so his next one will be his boss a revolver there's a way to get revolver yeah so his next out lane if he gets on his island will be a ball too so if he's good he has a ball save every third roulette is the ball save you said fourth goal came short and then to fit this Oh yep he got it but uh Wow he tilted his he was actually got the ball back but he's also karl is shaking his head and it's so frustrating that people don't know I'll make sure that tell Monica Karl love that didn't know Karl Monica so he's a eighth floor is a interrogate he's just gonna he's just going for it oh he's already got one - no it's Casey Butler its Casey Butler it was only know it's always Casey Butler it's not act now Bruno is also texts that right yes and the Casey Butler is Walter right Walter yes all right sento of one or two things yeah you know a little bit of the backstory no no no I didn't know but that sixth floor to get the revolver though that's it's important oh we got a magnifying glass now how do you mind that oh just complain and dip sir so we went to Blizzard pinball up in the mountains in Colorado and they have a whodunit there and I got a thirty two billion no boy lots of big high-risk high-reward its Casey Butler no it's not but he's got it so now what he do you're okay the goal is to get to the to find the confine that catch the killer not finding them catch the killer okay they're running on the roof I was a nice little so that that the lane that's lit right now will rotate how many shots does he need one then into the phone for the countdown okay okay there's a real light shot so he can't wrap up you really should hear and wait for the lane dig so just wait oh it's not blue pass oh he got it no he didn't change he's got three seconds hit that one shot so he's got one shot at it and then what happened he doesn't get it he actually gets one more shot oh no I swapped over what happened nothing oh he got it Wow so now he gets it the phone countdown starts oh that would have been 100 million and if and if he drains it with his out lane it either would have started multiball or giving him his ball back so this game makes sure yeah you drain down the silencer hmm yeah Senate well I see Bob Matthews there I see gene who's done fantastic job I see Christian right there I am gonna quickly take a bathroom break I will be right you're leaving me by myself Oh Carl grabber I'll have to I guess I get to talk I mean yes I should you are allowed to go to the washroom all right actually I'm gonna get you do me a favor okay how's everyone doing up there Wow we're gonna go international here ladies and gentlemen all the way from Melbourne Australia please give it up for head to head pinball podcasts best podcaster of the - it's not even close it's it's a 90/10 split martin robbins joins me right now let's say hi to Martin there he is hey hello everyone how are you it's good to see it oh you're nervous aren't you no why would I be nervous I'm a tan so I tell people go ahead to hit podcast well we are out I've got a podcast believe it or not I think you're the only one not those pinheads Oh in Australia as well as of his two pinheads and us there might be others - that was a cubed Oh total quality yeah whoa Karl head-to-head hi Axl yeah so we are podcast we've been doing it for about six months now okay and we talk about all things pinball we talk about news and talk about tournaments and events and it came about because I I play in tournaments and my co-host Brian see you know he's more into the collector sir so we came together to have opposite views on Kimble and now one thing all podcasters alike are in love with is the great work that Jeff does for this week in pinball oh god James wreck oh he makes our life easier in fact I've I've heard a bunch of podcasters talk myself included nobody talks about to twit nobody talks about his Awards except for head to head pinball and all they talk about is please vote us for the best podcaster no shame no shame sure why not well did anything anything - fights yeah all right some TNA say hi say hi to Martin mrs. Asher Lefko hello it's a highlighted oh there you go we're all pals now yes @na hey now this is great excitement for you because you haven't seen the machine until you came here I have not seen it and or played it your thoughts and I played a lot oh geez look you probably already said it it's very fast the flippers are at quite a low angle so it's very hard to trap the ball to even live catch the ball so you've really got a picture shots and and you get punished badly for even the slightest mess yeah and this game is it's pretty tight tilt it's very it swings a lot I love that the soundtrack came out on cassette on cassette isn't that brilliant that it's got the nice e we did the music for this and look at it watch the slings and watch that pop up er watch how hard they go it's game easy yeah they flying and it usually there bounces usually go high like they bounce off on the side but there's a couple bounces that just go right and it is power outlet like instant like you can't do anything I'm afraid to blink yeah well and there's a lot that you need to be aware of that the screen is telling you but because the game is so fast it's very difficult to look up whilst you're playing so you've really gotta try and cradle the ball and as I said that's that's quite a challenge but once you do then you see what you're up to and then you can work it out so yeah once you've figured out the game it's pretty simplistic but it's really hard to do the thing and that's kill the reactors and once you've killed about the third reactor then your multiball becomes worth it and they need just to play super jackpot tell me to increase the reactor value what's the best way to do that one two three at the top will max it just right there it'll max it so put the slings in that top four section don't help either it's the one two three to build I mean I think everything up there built okay but the one two three will max it just instantly when you finish it so right so it's been a good score on this guy anything south of 1.6 there's a wall it's just once you get to like 1.5 million it's like a wall and then it's 2 million is like the next score so you need to like turn another multiball with your third reactor either running or down I'm trying to think and actually you'd probably know best is this the first tournament that's at TNA in it I'm sure there's been like release parties and tough looks like another good event nicer yeah probably the first one yeah that's a lot of people are coming in blind I came in blind this is all trying to see himself yeah yeah he got it only on Wednesday no kidding it was a little bit late than wow rush it so ago Carl owns it that's why you got the high score no oh no got like two games on grace poker there on that time it tells you it if you expect well next up is Colin Irvin he's uh he's been playing it a lot now Martin do people call you Marty or Martin they call me Monty what do you prefer Masum you prefer Martin well in that respect mark my actual nickname that most people call me is motto March oh wow I didn't care what you call me just don't tell you Ryan just thank call me Ryan all right Martin yes watching streams and especially great ones they eat pinball yes big big deal in Australia I mean not to see these competitions I always see so many Australian fans and players on the streams yeah that's true there's not really a lot of streaming in Australia dr. John and Emily dr. John and Emily I do melbourne silver ball so I scream twice a week so so really what we we get to become better players by watching a lot of videos and and they're from tournaments like this yeah so yeah when I went to Australia not too long ago I was I think in Sydney and there was a like a theater with a lot of games there my god I think I got high scores on four games so next time I go in like a couple of years maybe I can see if they're still there yeah it's a I want the pinball scene in Australia it's haven't seen a lot there and you know I've heard your podcast today it's great thank you yeah the community in Australia has grown significantly in the last few years we are probably a little bit behind but we have lucky Melbourne we have you know six or seven leagues running I have to it slow now we're staying on here we are gonna get to junkyard we're gonna watch Colin play and as you see oh no one is up after this oh yeah who by the way pulled me aside today and said wait to see my next game I'm like oh okay and we're all excited to see what you can do for stern pinball said to me he goes there's gonna be three action buttons on it I laugh you're not a big fan of action but I am fine with the action but I don't want to be banging it all day and I'll tell you this miss star he said he also is not a huge fan of that as what we see in Game of Thrones what we see in you know Star Wars is believed that there's actually wait there's that isn't there actually a game with I think it's for action buttons come on rivers riverboat casino gambling yeah yeah it's perfect bet colors yeah yeah you can bet on like roulette and stuff yeah it's just I don't think well I think we're all very excited to see what Keith's got come up and really what a great year for pinball with all the different companies and designers new designers do Eric what he did for Jersey Jack Scott Danesi E on the game you're watching right now on TNA we've got we've got now not only Keith working at Stern his game should be coming out in 2018 but Zacks article marketing so yeah he got the pom-pom Perez's yeah I love my low bottom P I like the pop upper I look you know I would you know if I had to pop him for every day we had to borrow because the bottom D I'm like the our ad which is right there look at that white show yeah it's like yeah now when you weren't voting for a head-to-head to win the twigs were you voting this for the best lights for the what did you pick for best lights on the roof ease you remember the best sound me best that best sound for me so he wasn't even close I probably said Darlene Darlene from the light you know I was they were doing great until that the trouble in whatever the new like miniature super mode is okay so we're doing yeah okay they were doing great it was great and then they had to put that mode in or you just can't see the whole yeah the classics game of the game of Thrones light show it oh who is sending us that love the professionalism of this stream is immediate guys appreciate it you wait we will definitely crap this up a little bit to we're very very tired thank you Andy Jake thank you and so many players I cannot just their goal is 200 players i I haven't looked it's close to the 17 oh wow that's alright [Applause] the last Papa Circuit event and the first Stern procession yeah correct for a wind allows the head sir so we've got the first month this is great so what's he's gotta get the grid right yep keypad gotta hit that far target twice yeah and one more one more here we go number three on the dialpad there if you think of it as a phone yeah oh oh lost the ball now okay Asher you're down to one ball just still go for it to advance I guess you have to know now you know at the server ball you always have your multiple available three dots so I'm taking multiball yeah so there's a skill show that not a lot of people know about is the upper the upper lanes can just finish a grid for you yeah for Colin it's not really worth it but yeah so lock mechanism foil it's it's great it you know what you look at it's like oh I probably doesn't work every time and the only thing that is malfunction on the lock system is when I started a multiball I got a super jackpot on the start for no reason and I happened once I was happy about it wasn't the bad malfunction yeah so but when you're in multiball as well like shooting the big you know that didn't easy lock also Awards jackpots thanks for the 250r series pinball yes Carl our Lord and Savior Karl is hosting all of this is set and sitting in the number one position yeah are you kidding me yeah but so I've noticed that you can actually get I think like jackpots from you know that the done easy lock when you're in multiball but people avoid that and just keep going or reactor yeah until I think gives third reactors gone it yet the best value Scott you need three more up that's it he's got the spinner so it's uh the are and the he's got his in Lane ball saver there's a pop up person i we just ate CR that's alright he's guys ball saver great feature they can see how long you have left on it oh I couldn't quite get it to the other side it's an okay game it's not better so so what we what we had gotten a C on our last episode and he mentioned in in an upcoming software code he's going to add add a ball to multiball yes I heard about that she's gonna have port on paper multiplier yeah that can be huge yeah massive Oh so here's the instant replay so you can just see right here how fast it is like and then you've done this slo-mo mode even in slo-mo it's like oh it's up and then it's gone so all right Keith l1 may be good to see you any good yeah no Izzy we haven't heard much about him in describe there must be an American thing yeah I fear inks for now as a retired well you know what that's based on not playing really anything yeah is it he's kind of he's kind of semi-retired his favorite thing about being here he said was uh he might have just tilts it you know it doesn't look like a tilt but man that thing swings he loved coming here because now he gets out of town entries now yeah boy he used to be a local or not really a local but just in the area oh he got it till warming back I love that you made a bet you can I've actually don't warn ya you would have tilted that he didn't like you to see like he's realized it's like wow I can't you gotta wait lamb not to say I've seen a lot where the tilt warning award from the mystery scoop saves people him cuz I'm saying that it's safe to keep them there so such accuracy yeah time in it alright so for shots on the grid especially with yep three nah oh it did wow yeah really tilty especially when you do a slide save it Carl doesn't want people beating up as brand new Carl's issued a yellow card I believe the loop has no he gets the back let's see it I wanna see it again white Wi-Fi so you can loop fast that's really it yep beyond that okay making me on the hour flipper very safely he'll do it again its power fam find out where where they are and I know date still play oh the tilt Bob is still moving everybody's and I goes right into multiball one shot on the grid and he hit it now I'm gonna get in the scoop the scoop rejects a lot on that you got a backhand it or do that I've have you got it so now he beats the are on the far left side yeah right so now one slingshot up top there it is all right now he needs the baby get it yep it's the whites or get next to the scoop yeah just left of it it says destroy I think he is yeah it does the he actually has an accident reactor Noelle's last fall but that 54,000 so it will be a hundred thousand you can hit it was just good guys yeah three times the V didn't lose a ball it's a took another great oh if he gets a quick one time also it's good to know that oh it's okay it's a fatigue covering from everyone it's tiring you're playing it's the ball back didn't mean false it yeah no no no it's a really interesting how we power pod goes into a loot pass the loop ass is working great on the super skill shot italic oh yeah it's not actually a loop pass it's a what do you call that it's uh know what doing a loop bounce pass okay what we're talking about on Metallica if you super skill shot plunge all the way around full plunge well yeah let's pretend this screen is photographer yeah it's kind of go all around it bounces off there hits there and then goes into mystery scoop almost every time you can hear the good old got leave danger warning yeah New Zealand checking in the pecs have done very well New Zealand you'll be very proud Danielle I think I I'm pretty sure it's in the Tom eight in the women's she is I think last time I checked ranked number one oh yes yeah that was 150 on NBA fresh break now she asked her how she was doing on the main she avoided domains because just was focusing on some other things and and I said well you know the finals are gonna be streamed on the main so maybe she's getting some games in just a practice but boy she wasn't quite multiplied but have been a lot more but yeah whose little Charlie that we should say hi - hi little Gerald little Charlie he's four hi little oil and he's watching pinball we like that when are we gonna see our local here the packs I you'll be hearing them coming up on a upcoming pinball poll is like wow that's ooh yeah you still got yeah yeah he just he's just trying to get to a cradle so he can give it a second but the flippers are pretty flat yeah it's so hard so it's pretty different heat through the game really freakin far hey now we're gonna go to junkyard I believe yep as promised earlier and timewise 25 minutes left to qualify before an hour for the fantastic volunteers who really made this possible shout out to as we just saw TNA spooky pinball w-w-w spooky pinball calm it is out the pack with total nuclear annihilation sure did captain's auction warehouse mutant auctions appraisal sails captain auction where else calm alright see some junkyard so there's two strategies on there you play modes and go for the super mode or you just hit the hit the capture the cream until the cows come home yeah that's what I've seen most people playing Frank entices just crank crank watch Fred crane for 45 million and you almost got to make sure the guy on 60 yet is next multiball a Beretta what's so funny to watch there's something the people at home might be saying well I ain't going dog dog dog dog there's the paint software here it you can only play dog once a ball once a ball save the girl here we go bash bash crash crash no it's don't toast three run from me dog right one hit two go bang air three for three you should get an extra bonus it's like Dracula the werewolves yeah it's on hard it's the ex like the level of three hearts hilarious you just got a you can do a blindfolded because it's the same every time on one Dracula oh yeah oh really yeah it's a one two it goes one two three four like you just have to know which side it starts on so yeah if you're blindfolded you have a 50-50 chance again right okay and I think it's the same every time for them to start so yes we own one for a while and you learned everything about it so I played Robert Blakeman junkyard quite a bit this tournament and I mean a lot of the machines here obviously have been toughened ups and you know rubbers have been taken out and the rules of a clean this one I think for more booze machine strikes me has been the most polished as far as waxed new rubbers et lace so far in the Outlands are like two inches life wide like they're just huge like everything will like if it's bouncing over there it's rare to see him in like cars how are ya so the reason the DMD is so crisp is it's actually directly transmitted from ya the game it's not actually a camera it's a chip inside port inside the game that is wait what is it and say a beam the extender it's from the guy dr. ken ball India UK Emily it's done ie pinball and Carl yeah it's a I can these streams so nice yeah speaking of the trapeze I did give my youtube channel vote to ie people so so he started his crane multiball which is like the two ball just 50/50 25 25 25 50 50 25 what starts it is it like all the cars of top 9 time you're asking the wrong guy yeah I think it's the cars it has to do with the cars and then the well the main multi balls by the actual cream yeah see most people just power plunging into the spinner try to get another game into them maybe maybe even two more here are the choices barbed wire Dracula Game of Thrones not junkyard Lady Luck Metallica monopoly Paragon pool sharks Robo war taxi theater magic we just saw TNA where do we go next Paragon know you want got a Paragon okay sure yeah I don't think no you have it it's uh it's quite a it has the most plays out of all the games Paragon then Dracula if we have time for Dracula before the street man yeah oh well that's like one half a game of Acula barbed wire I don't think you're winning that one man that's been kicking everyone's butt today I want to actually see it multiball was lit all right let's go ahead and have a look at a Paragon which is a very very very skillful game that's cool see you don't get that on every other string yeah Panna can can see how what are you talking about I was in Vancouver at the Vancouver flip out and I did a wonderful stream on my iPhone it was almost top-notch all right I'm very so there were at least 10 people watching got a 56 people watching according to where you seen that I'm blind up there on there all right 56 oh yeah it looks like there might be something going on Paragons if you want to move to Dracula all right it's like Robert gangmo is on Dracula but when I can tell thanks anyone Hoffa 19 right yes he did yeah he's a like the best players in the world from Canada yeah the wizard mode documentary if you have already seen him had a movie made about him - yeah he's here with his parents for ETO and Kathy yep Nick Kathy was playing I know yeah she was definitely in the women's preacher doesn't play at least not this this weekend we'll come back to Paragon if we can Oh see that out slink slink slink out Barbara Roberts said to me when we were playing in the classics group with Jermaine and Peter he got that unfortunate DQ on just a little tilt on that stack and he goes I think the pinball gods are mad at me and I said no Robert go see I I must have done something wrong Robert you're one of the nicest guys I know in football you bad luck there's some good fortune there pop didn't it e all right let's see oh he meant something first shot oh oh yeah oh oh nice he almost got it all say one yep he's got you got two seconds with ball saver now I've seen the ball come off on those kind of shakes but you can't do that competition correct yeah you can't you can't man I guess you go and revive the dead pop a ticket into the number one qualifying pop a ticket off of a random slide off of really so one of the most unknown stories but it's actually one of the best okay all right so he needs to hit his coffin twice and I'm not sure what it is a castle boxer on right now I also distinctly remember you having a very well oh yes documented game of Bram Stoker's Dracula where everything happened for you you had the megastar it was okay so you know everyone didn't really do anything going into ball three and where was this term this was pin burg three-way tie breaker with Jason or Jack Steven Bowden and myself for one spot and and and did triple stack for like 800 million on ball three and then Jason Moore accepts up and he doesn't do a three psyche there's like four two sexes he gets a 720 million does not quite catch me and then Bowden steps up and he starts doing his thing and he gets only like 650 million it was quite a game of Dracula I know I've seen you get excited when you win some games look that one in particular I think there was there was a lot of excitement and relief that they didn't catch it yeah and actually on came three I thought I was already out so I took class on two games in a row and then the tiebreaker happened and the one time I needed Jim Bell see though the Bell Sedo on the meteor then come through somebody asked this Steve Daniels asked Vermont can't do that in competition what exactly is this the reason I asked about that miss multiball boat shaking it off I've played in leagues where they say if you're playing that game bill they DQ you yeah great yeah don't worry Watchers they're spooky pinball endless pinball comet pinball yeah thanks for watching Raymond Davidson the other well oh so he actually hit his hurry up IFP 8:14 winter in Denmark he won two pinball machines last year yeah one two oh now he really wanted to hit his loop to lock in history shots because on this metallica you only need two five items for your crank it up crank it up yeah it said uneasy spocky said on hog extra hard yeah it's like 13 shots or 11 shots something like that we'll do it Karl no problem as long as we get paid time and a half yeah oh wow I already have one hold on a second I've uh we were just tempted with a critical hit deck of cards volumes I have no shame yeah the Raymond's going right for Sparky here oh that's kids taking occupy that's killer notice you know what it is it's crunch time right now she got 15 minutes a good chance that might have been Ravens last game he's quickly trying to queue up again the lines are right now 384 deep so we'll send watch that race in the third spot but he wrote that shirt tell me about this if you were in the number one spot and Carl you cannot are you allowed to kick out a game yes you are what game where you go what you don't tell anyone now what are you going because you or you don't have to kick out a game right so come on a little sneak peek the combines aren't gonna bring in John no one's watch them on bring in trust us you're not bringing in Toronto okay are you gonna remove a game that you don't like or you looking at the the competition and trying and removing a game that somebody might have and the streamers want we want to know we need to know come it would be a game I'd want to play sure well give us three games you like don't say that I really like magic starlight and nine ball oh no he's gonna bring in classic Wow oh yeah sure oh no the one that likes magic I was you see oh no a sure because you know Bowen and I have talked about this you know obviously you're a fantastic player in all different eras of games but you want your championship on swell Jungle Queen to get you there right well first off and he owned a jungle clean I don't what two years but still new game he flipped tilted and this paragon isn't written and then at ball so here you are you know yeah I play the new games but you're great at the older games yes I there's certain old games that I am really good at a jungle queen is my best en oh by far like way past all the other ones because we own one for two years and move on every single role hey Carl extra said earlier when you weren't producing hates bull sharks [ __ ] up yeah I've been playing it yet so I'm kidding oh I I don't think anybody is picking pool sharks I hope not I know how to play it that was that a tournament a while ago and they had to learn I think you're safe buddy by a while ago I was seven I remember when you're so high dug remember when Star Wars came out the original data line 777 chase so I'd remove barb huh no that's like a dead pick no one's gonna pick it especially because the kick out is now kicking it down the middle consistently yeah so one of the no one's gonna think catches is whatever game top power fire brings in they must choose it at some point during the finals unless they go out do they have to do it in the first round then they don't have to do in the first round so it's possible they don't have to play it now are you allowed to pick the same if you run if you're driving to us keeping the same games every round no okay really good pick each game one string the tournament Wow really quickly I want to see the perfect beast layer without hitting a pop over and perfect great Chophouse yeah that was a great tap Jonathan's here too so he's not done he'll be playing a little bit later cuz I volunteered earlier yeah I mean the Paragon obviously it's not one of the easier machines to play but this one playing very fair I would say yeah every time that I've seen soand rain except it felt like randomly falls into the beasts lair from the pop-up furs or yeah managed by the way playing today versus yesterday don't think I didn't notice it the paragraph I know he was random today it's yeah left to right now I talked with some of the people setting this up Derek Thompson said the initial goal was to set it up I think we're seeing it today yeah but it doesn't change like a ton except that I got a 5 times the middle a 5 times in a row when I played it but it's good seek the tails on my a-game there and DJ I haven't looked at my I'll tell you right now well yeah ok here we go I was martin i was looking to qualify

some some rubbish got a lot going to be alive no I haven't yeah really the medics came but you know look I I had I had a great game well I consider a great game on and total nuclear annihilation I was probably averaging you know three four hundred games and then I got one point four million three or four games yeah throwing out 300 their hunger game per game all right and then yeah got one point for me and so I just want you know what I'm done [Music] the 16 bonus so close yeah it's tough ISM Martin that's really yeah it's a grind look at this assembly great players here and and yeah I look for me obviously coming from Australia for this part of it was to come to the museum the pinball with all these machines here there's a lot of machines here a lot of machines here like 500 550 machine T and and actually mean this it's actually really good to see people like yourself a sure and obviously Jeff in in person and talk to you because all we get to see is by video yeah story am I supposed to return the favor and say no damn thing not at all because I I didn't say anything Pleasant about your podcast before so yeah thanks I miss Ryan here's Irving and everybody I do encourage you pinball profile in fact I have seen you doing a few interviews since you've been here so always working yeah we'll see some some great interviews coming up on people profile that is people profile with big red shameless like Big Red's my my radio show I do a classic rock show Big Red's retro rock and so it's actually on here tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m. hint hint recorded what Tuesday life so Colin the main thing that everyone was like huh this he plays this game really worked he doesn't tap he doesn't push fast he just shoots targets on the side yeah she's solution yep well he gets up but if you can make that if you can get back up there I'm alright with that I mean it's pretty dangerous but uh he goes yeah another letter nowaday here we go get in there oh that's the second time that we've seen that the last couple of games shorts like what was I supposed to do like I can't bump it it's just gone now Colin I I'm asked because I'm not a hundred cents sure did call not do very very well at City champ camp I try to think where I am again my phone's dead I'd like to have an information of it I know I've seen Colin do very very well I just came over where somebody help me on the stream on topic thank you very much so on this game so for this comp probably around anything 600,000 has been a really good score I actually got to watch the top score which was 970 3630 by gene X pong oh really I watched that down what game on Paragon on her I saw a sharp drop it was a master class it was such a great he had everything going right for him but you know he's tipping skills on the game were super for such a game that can be so random but everyone's playing quick I know we want to get to Dracula have we been there yet so you're a high bar why really play one city champ I thought he did thank you what do we get barbed wire we're gonna really do barbed wire yeah we won't see it at all tomorrow so might as well just watch one or two here we go I have never seen so yeah you just saw that this scoop right here is just draining it I've got to tell them I've gotta tell Martin this because a mutual friend of ours and actually you know to a sure because you've been on his podcast Bruce Nightingale Pfeiffer hello hello Bruce and also Ron Hallett from slant ill podcast Bruce is now running the silver ball saloon in Rochester New York so check that out it's gonna be home of the upstate New York champion we had to play last year in the upstate New York Championships and they had a barbed wire and that bruce nightingale I think picked it every time which is funny because nobody hates gottlieb games more than Bruce nightingale and he kept picking through he kept picking barbed wire and doing his little dance wait oh so funny and I'm still friends with him what's wrong with me yeah yeah so on on this part basically what you do is you just hit the the fat so the big fat so yeah and that's all you do and if you just saw it yeah this scoop it was you know coming to dead bounce to a trap every time but now it's just kicking it right down it is okay what make that dough yeah you're right new here we go laughter yeah so really it's a slight save every time now just to be sure it is it's random sometimes it is hitting the tip and then coming over for a bounce over but to be sure just do a left right here yes where is big fats or big fossils right there he kind of goes up and down right now and I know that is the name of the character it says it on the DMD or not yeah yes that is DMD extender yeah that's right those got leave targets and just shoot the ball very scary so you need about a billion like 700 ish for a decent you can hear it from here just ones I got but I didn't want plate again yeah I'm good so okay so oh this is the the good multiball I think alright boys help me out you have to pick a gottlieb to play I'm getting I'm get mu I'm giving you know I'll give you the choices this barbed wire gladiators water roll oops wait this is your life on the line barbed wire gladiators or what I say water water water water world I'd pick water well you would yeah yeah is that the one I don't know but it was actually in this tournament not too long years ago come on when I was here two years ago they had and then they teed off that other time i teed off at least that's okay yeah there's a really funny water by ZZ Top yeah yeah but look I helped obviously have an age to up terrible games it was pretty simple alright I'll give you another one oh I'm picking check every time I do like Jack I I was playing one of my friends and Shaq he beat me every time I don't know if he's watching when if he is you know who loves Jackie yeah as I talked to Asher here you got one of the great young players Alex in Pittsburgh who's won two circuit events he loves Shaq he think he purposely picked it at Pittsburgh pinball open yeah yeah he loved it yeah he won I think every time honor that I watched him play you know what I did next door at the Museum of pinball and they have sucked 600 games to choose from what's wrong with me I went and played X Files oh wow it was at oh that turn it was that in Buffalo it was I watched it I'm like wow this game looks really boring well the flippers didn't work so you couldn't you couldn't get up the ramp so the joke was if you started a mode that didn't include ramps we called it the wizard mode because every single day oh my god hey dude flip how you doing jack have you recovered from your trip to Australia yet and and what's your fight with awesome slang oh wait a minute be polite I know something about a dingo yeah that's all yeah that's it all right so he's playing spell haywire that left ramp was impossible are you talking about buffalo courts the sultry chords I can barely talk it's more water yeah it's coming up on 11 p.m. that's right as Jack Bain on your podcast Jack's one of the first guys in he's coming on again to actually talk about his Australia trip because that was great and I mean who doesn't watch dead flip when a new Stern game comes out and not just that but other things too he's done a great thing for the community thanks jack I actually I swear to you I put her as a calendar invite and the last time that streamed I actually went into my office told it but it was at a meeting and watch the strength worker watch hopefully no one's poor yes ma'am so you just watch the scoop kick it down the middle it's been doing yeah this thing is unplayable right now so we're now at 11 o'clock so that means we're done it means uh-oh they're bigger know if it was Cayley he would just turn all the games off should we do a bonus game we give one bonus game yeah we can get going barbed wire got no friends nowhere to go I had all myself anyway a bedtime at some bull yeah yeah I just got policing camera you're actually doing work that's true that's true you know I've never actually asked jack I can't see can you tell me jack what's on your knuckles your I know it's not Aussie I see it you moving around but I can't actually read what your tattoos say Jack let me know you know what says love/hate wait I know he's a big supporter of kids charities I'm not sure no no I know but I like what it would be hey guys let's read yeah good job all right we'll give you another game here excuse me junkyard all right now I am leaving no no so it's junkyard looks alright thanks for what it should clear out because yeah again this is volunteer time right now so actually I don't mind doing this right now because if we're watching people playing these are some of the great people that were volunteers so let's get some shoutouts to Sheldon and David I saw Olli doing it another guy coming across the pond but we're still wrapping up a lot of those games that were played before eleven o'clock and in fact the queues they're gonna have to clear out all the cues - yeah they volunteers up so we've got a little bit of time here there's Olli and some dark there with his Foo Fighters sure yeah yeah these pinball wins team day extenda is being used on these machines and yeah right on every single game except for nuclear annihilation charts Game of Thrones DMVs let's think yeah Game of Thrones is the only DMD beside I mean you know totally Peter doesn't really count but no yeah game opens is the only the MD that does not have the tender so I'm talking let's see 1993 Escher you were not born yeah this is a car oh you would have been nope it's only one of them is like in the future and it's like 20 I think it is it 2017 I think it's actually it might be the feed back to the future time we are gonna say so long - sure I know your dad's a 1 - get out of here probably need to finish this game and then head out attaboy that's where you can't be standing on C when you're the world champ you can told that I am for a boy still full which is good so I didn't get to pick the game good eyesight yeah I think I'm safe there I'm not sure there's a bit of a cliff but is it anything ok yet with you baiting you what is it your dad okay with you beating him yet yeah you know we're about the same when it comes to skill level and it doesn't give himself enough credit I'll just never forget I mean your papa 20 championship but the fact that you guys had to play yes what was it again it was an x-men neither of us played well but yes I know I'm finishing this game yeah that's what Raymond Davidson be what if that he was the affluent reason the 1401 and also what was the other criminal chairman was the heads up yes and he want the heads up are all almost when that was against Carl wasn't it I think so I know Tim Sexton was also top floor there yeah is it a Tim balls moving to Chicago ever it's it's possible yeah yeah not confirmed yet so yeah it's uh might be be cool The Bone Collector yeah that would be Raymond Caylee was almost in all three of the majors are the super majors and safe they're called now all right I gotta go right now okay so I'll see everyone around though thank you a shot yeah alright see it so you can only do the dog once football I believe so the rules on this have been quite modified Thanks I'm not working say hello to IFP a14 champ from Denmark once he figures out the headphones here hold on just get that out there there we go it's great a pinball not so good with headphones Raymond Davidson's gonna be joining us right now here on the stream deck there we go we got up there we go how are you buddy I'm good good yeah we did stream your last game on no it looked like you had a little bit of a violent reaction there you okay buddy meshach yo there was a Taser well the good news was I got my skill shot on ball one that was the good news but where are you sitting right now I guess my phone's dead three yeah good for you buddy yep I figured I'd take a crack at it because if I beat Jax or I'm Metallica I think I just needed I don't know I like Metallica I don't have an excuse what is it you're Pro pinball named let the Bone Collector ah yes all right so what do we what are we watching junkyard yeah so these are the volunteers right now and so we're talking before the two main strats for these people have been either going for multiball or four modes what did you choose I never played this game in qualifying no really no I wouldn't go multiball all day yeah at the show creme creme creme yeah might as well I mean you're gonna roll the dice with anything you do you might as well get supers if you if you hit do you like junkyard or for another way it's fine like on location for fun but in tournaments I don't really find it very exciting what's the most boring tournament games you've ever played and you played so many like just a real chopping wood game which one oh man that's a good question well I tend to avoid those ones like I would say monopoly but I didn't play Monopoly today for that reason is it oh really it's just such a woodchopper there's no points anywhere it's just Ram RAM yeah well you know we were talking about Game of Thrones the game I really really like I know you like it too right yeah it's all right and it's not a chopping wood game but some of the great players like yourself watching keith's Elwin just hit that left spinner all day and flat catch left catch left catch and then you know trying to get the levels up and before you could handle anything yeah if you ever go into a ball with him to kinglet and you have like another ball to play and you've already used your outer ball just go for spinners okay good point yeah now he was doing the spinner on ball 2 still had the outer ball for haneda king of all three Oh weird yeah he must have had a high spinner level it got up to level four so he's giving about ten million in orbit but you know I was obviously trying to get to I think extra set level five Mikey fo 50 ohm and he he has a lot of fireworks he's got like 15 fireworks one is the magic number isn't it in this guy I don't remember I know it's somewhere on there that's enough to blast you off into space right one of yeah good but you still have to assemble all four contraptions right okay so we go get all the junk yeah how many pieces of junk of there ten it looks like a one two three four five six and ten look at Martin eight nine I only see nine inserts twenty is the magic number that Martin from head to head ladies hey how are you good listen today you guys thank you yeah no I know Ryan say yeah sorry I listen to Bruce Bruce too much Ron Ron does the better Aussie accent oh that's what I meant right yeah I used to read Ryan's eat kale bulb yeah I didn't say be careful why is everything flashing crazy does he have outer space Tommy Oh toilet okay get back to crane I assume right we got a firework bonus X starts becoming very valuable the more fireworks you have so and you said he's up sixteen roughly yeah it was the outer space is lit no there you go he just needs to post pass Oh way to save I get a really a minute I can't believe holy cow any outer space I remember how fun is playing wolf definitely get to that replay in a second my goodness Wow I would have I would have that would have been like a frustration drain for me I wouldn't even thought of saving I would I would have just been like ah just a memory here they got a alright so how does this five shots right what's the hardest of the five the toilet now for him now look at that it's almost time dough though isn't it let's go get the bus the dog no we got the dog the boss at the bus so guy works plucks donut ball saber you know every ounce of it oh yeah the bus is a little tricky I like it on the fly yeah oh he's got and now he needs the dog it looks like wouldn't that they didn't do any fancy divert or disabling did they don't think so it's a software-based for the video mode yeah yeah hey I'm go there where is all Eve ranked right now in the standings 53rd oh for 250 third in the world Oh 15th oh I see good sniper bye yeah this is good this is a good one [Applause] let's see he can get shop fireworks he wants that two exponents is probably this best best thing here oh hey yeah he's what's he trying to get uh five hundred thousands not bad so it's what's still look now what's that I think he has to collect all the bones I think that's what's left the bones the bones he's got to collect the bones okay you know after you kill Bob we got to collect his bones okay so he's talked about it aren't you the bone collected that bone I don't even know what a story I someone did tell me that I have no idea what that it I was at City champs and Nate's tell Horan was a little let's call it happy faced and he kind of just piqued his head on stream and just started blabbering saying you know Raymond has another name it's The Bone Collector and that was it that's the story all right back to so recycle yeah good save so interesting after you go to outer space all his modes are now flashing so does our they doubled or something now what would you go for here oh he's one toilet I think it's all it's okay we're in the motion this one a firework clock Wow Wow one more oh nice still like that score his best score is 50 million what was yeah before this ball his best scores what was 15 million on this game he's well over that oh yeah 34 look at that there's funky further hey that actually might help Adam Adam left off he needed somebody to beat Johnny's junk yard score to get him a bye okay oh my we are showing you how tired we are there anything else to say I mean he know a long day well yeah 9 o'clock this morning we're nearing midnight yeah yeah oh Sejal yes so Sejal he plays taxi a ton in Seattle we have one at Shorty's okay he he will grind anyone into dust on this game really I had to play him then the shorteez annual a couple years ago and maca had to play him a couple years ago and both matches went to three games with like you know 6 million 7 million 8 million and say it'll just kept going higher and higher me and maca we just feel like this game is playing very well oh yeah yeah these ramps are nice looks like he's back at his same place he usually is when I tuned into him which is 5 million on ball 3 and and we talked about this earlier the jackpot is capped it's there's no real benefit of husband cash oh darn it well it's ok he has himself set up here for Santa which will relight his luck he was telling me earlier he likes to play that angle of the game so that you have one ez lock lit so yeah I was first his first multiball he'll go after pin box just so that he doesn't have to hit pin bot again to light a lock do you find that one harder than Maryland or Lola I think it's harder and more dangerous I've had a novato's yeah we'll think about down the right Outland oh now Sejal no save good read there too no he couldn't let that settle that's alright take care of Chris entir you need to sleep don't brag a little sleeping we're dying here yeah what time is it back in Australia Martin it's in Melbourne what about 6:00 a.m. p.m. all right yeah which day in the future oh yeah yeah whoa did you see just short plunged into the how did he do that the hop I mean I don't know it it somehow that wasn't strange no not good you don't a short plunge on attacks now although it worked out because they got a ball - it's for I guess but that's 300,000 he could have right yeah so he's gonna want to oh he was paying attention to the right I saw that he was he was watching that other ball hoping it didn't out lane oh now now a nice gift from the wonderful called Angela Wow oh it's some giveaways for listeners to what a guy Wow what are these for well you know what I I'm being given some critical hit packs I'm gonna be give them away on pinball profile so I appreciate that very much thank you very much well Rachel will probably just void and riku Wow let's can we go to another game or we will go to one more game and this will be the last last kick of the cab for me I love cats by the way it's just a saying gotta be careful you say gotta be careful you say we're right into snow looking at the cues here look at these look at the stacks that stacks well you're a little Paragon no I do this is an exciting game to watch how'd you do no I ended up with like 450 but I don't think it ended up in being included in my ticket okay yes yes it I feel like every time I drained it was my fault like most times maybe not every time but like if you miss that drop target lane and hit the post there it was going to the right out lane like consistently pinball was 45 B hoping to meet you again someday Jeff Keolis just pick a tournament you'll win I'll tell you right now we've got some new pinball profiles brewing I do buddy I you know just whenever ever at an event you talk to different people yeah that's a lot of interesting people I doing them I'll let him do it well we have different perspectives on we do welcome to do it sure is nothing you know what listen Martin it's not the great thing about what we do that there are so many different podcasts I mean I know you showed out and I do as well we've mentioned a few of them coast to coast but you know Nate started really you know set the bar we've seen slam till podcast your head to head and it's been fires no players podcast me went from job like there's that there's a lot of hours in the day and in the week I like to fill them up with many as many podcasts as I can listen to so and their different perspective perspectives so he was doing an interesting thing when it comes down those new market lanes a lot of times you'll see players hold the little mini flipper up to sort of guide it away from the beasts lair but it looks like this one he's got the read well maybe not that time where sometimes you just let it come back down and then catch it on the left flipper does this have the touchy thing yes yes go ahead so I just this have the touching in like look at there we have it now live catch like that or some people will hold it up and then it will kind of go over here so it's important to know kind of where who and it went away magically cool oh nice Mark Schultz thank you very much for volunteering do you guys ever use that upper flipper all the time yep show everything Cheers oh you don't I use it all the time for the multiplier another multiplier the spinner I'm tired yeah the spinner oh oh I just I I don't like having to learn to you know three flippers I'd rather just learn to flippers okay but you know some people yeah I don't know it does do a better angle and and you can get some power out of it for sure that's interesting yeah if I'm going for the inline definitely the bottom flipper spin out from the top it's got a little bit I like super bonus dang eyeballs I had with this particular one the ball drop jump over the flippers a number of times as well does it hit the glass on its way out it's the Whitewater special yeah scissored do we need a graphic that shows up on this on the stream when someone does that yeah dead flip has the emoji at the ready look at that whoa he was even going to bed all right tapping tapping tapping Jack's doing emojis on the sleep don't get punished for all top but he didn't do the the cardinal rule of always hold the left flipper up when it's in the beasts lair because if you don't hold it down sometimes it'll just power oh well that was a tough one because he's scared of it yeah big saves there I will say nighty-night Martin I'll go see it tomorrow yes I'll be here tomorrow this Raymond grit see and good luck tomorrow yeah ok and Google help you and the bees the show all right all right you need to get out here I will I just want to say so long and we'll be doing this again tomorrow morning I know I think 9 a.m. is the finals we're gonna have women's we're gonna have the class we'll be going on we'll tell you what happens there and of course the main thanks very much thank you Jeff thank you Jeff will you be on the floor so to speak tomorrow with the microphone nope he took his mic up are you gonna be looks like Jeff might be doing that some of that tomorrow this sure Roy by war did you get to play Robo walk I just sat on the light umbrella okay there we go I played it a couple times as I was mostly kind of just messing around someone challenged me to tap pass on it so I got one out of like five running pretty hard so for these ones right here there's normally a gate but they basically move the cake so if the ball goes anywhere up there it just comes out down here yes a lot of times it all so it's almost like you know when you're playing Paragon and you've got the two flippers yeah forget that you can't hold it up because the ball will go through with this one you've got to remember you can't try a bit on the right because it'll just roll up that stuff drives me bonkers I don't like things that alter the way I play pinball but it is unique oh we got we've got another one Frenchman in the booth and not not Damien even though he is qualified for if so Jim might know a thing or two about this game apparently there's there's certain nuance to how you're supposed to play the multiball well there we see the bats so during the multiball you can collect your bonus if you shoot the ramp and it goes in the and the whole array on the top right so if you have a good bonus that's a good jackpot okay hence you could go for the drop targets banks - d - your extra ball for 500,000 if you get your extra ball that's pretty good and hope for some outline inland to the spinner now did you see Jim volunteering this weekend I don't I don't know if I saw him volunteer called the TD away in the kitchen most of these machines of his I believe he told me it takes a ton of work and I don't I mean I don't doubt it for a second we shouldn't [ __ ] Jemaine go ahead don't feed the troll it's a trap it's a trap - see all right so Jim was Fortius for a one-game ago and then he put a good game on the monopoly I believe - no it looks like he's still out of it but you know he likes to come back beautiful shot to start multiball it was a nice flip there so what do you going move on now well you can see never lit so that's probably pretty juice yeah I don't know if play field multipliers apply there's no no police even with you player what's very disappointing but you know you still like what happens when you spell Robo war I want to say that is the Machine becomes a special thing I know it's ten thousand the letter for bonus that could get juicy with Isis we're onto your time for the northwest people championships yes that's that's an idea we've been floating Wow look at that it's milky born after new people yeah yeah otherwise how do you give entries to people that can't play them because they're they're helping in the last hour I think they repay them I believe and they also have volunteer playing what is quirky in the last hour okay Syracuse what we're saying before is that right here which other the middle lane here will actually go straight out so yeah the other games like it doesn't actually go down that Lane Murray I'm not often unfortunately you've got this nice well that dead past bumper right here I'm not sure if it warranted to take out that one-way gate I mean the game is pretty mean it it is yes I wonder if it is so that you can't just like chesty oh yeah multiball day right that's what I wanted to do in this game which is grind multi balls but I could never get the ball to the right flipper I tried tap passing to make success I guess you could also back in that's been a pretty well on the game yes today something with the strobing later any of the spinning but I can't recall what that does we have no I owe his score is 1.6 million right now and he's got 160 K and multi bonus whatever that is I guess you get it at the end of the game maybe oh that sounds like a gordita thing yeah yeah go till your ball three oh my lord multiball with the other ball and he's just so calm yeah chill disgusting Betsy 1.9 a hug they go to point four that was wait why was that so many points holy Sh so it's punished sex time so that collected his bonus yes but he doesn't reset that I was gonna say it doesn't reset so that how do you like the collect bonus it's just no it's always lit you're invincible it's a jackpot doing me to vote that's why this multiball so complicated because you know you want to build through the bonus by hitting the targets but at some point it becomes valuable to just start cashing it in yeah right Wow I have the booty shakes you know rover around the playfield so it's not was easy to write get a grasp of them kind of like instant repeat multiple again I like I have to start multiball with that casino run shot feels feels good it's very cool Wow lots of Lane action o-over leaned it Oh which ball is that ball one Wow holy moly if went to geez so that's still not quite a top-20 school Wow okay well he needs a little more help yeah another multiball and it's got dawn but hey but he has it ready to go again drop catch nails and yeah Jermaine has left the booth temporarily I don't know where he went buh-bye yeah nice little save and oh my god did that what that didn't look physically possible it just goes straight down oh and there's just metal there is that clipped is that yeah yeah alright we're gonna see that oh my god not know I mean this must be his machine and pass yeah but that is still impressive pulling it off under the pressure under the lights nasty shimmy yeah that was it was bloody good there we go so did you get out and play any of the games out in the room there I haven't yet so well you'll have I think it's open tomorrow too so yeah it is quite the collection I did while I was here two years ago for it for Indies that was when it was part of Arcade Expo so yeah you know in between games is very easy but now we're in a separate Hall I've spent most of my time here but we'll see how we go tomorrow right play it is amazing it is truly incredible they have all sorts of crazy games like I saw this golden cue which is like a modern 8 Ball deluxe yeah yeah yeah yeah and it had the UK all skill posts installed so you had buttons on the side that put up a post on the left out lane the right out Lane and down the middle alone what bumps it up yeah and so theoretically they did that so that it wasn't a game of chance so you could always save the ball but in practice they they don't really help them nice job I feel like the drop catch is pretty key on this game because any other option will say the ball into peril it's been a live let's if he goes what I mean he'll know this machine better than anyone I don't know if there's a real good reason to go for it see he just ignores it he just collects his bonus look at that that was a million points for that shot another million point six point two ends up at seven point two yeah Wow so he knows his bonus and he's got XC he's got 4x that Jam bright light in the middle there I don't know how you find out your other bonus but he must just know it Oh bring it back and so just like that a four-million school becomes an eight minions home whoa let's see if he can get it nice drop catch yeah here we go but million just like that haha if it just does that I can watch this all day oh and it's still trapped of course because why not that's it oh X is unrelated to multi bonus collecting Wow okay only for end of ball bonus Robo war letters so twelve million is the high school oh so mult is multi bonus just jackpot that all that is then it has nothing to do with your actual bonus and nothing to do with X's it's just just do jackpot value good light on that oh oh I could have been bad oh is it is it gonna count none of these grace rules so oh but it counted at the lock instead so not a bad consolation prize do it again so what's the tough score on this game right now twelve media oh that was a that should be enough to put me up I was like clip that and then I'm like oh maybe not painful oh here it is look and then wow there's Jimmy look at my god it's crazy oh mine on his face I don't it's the cool so that but you mean can we see any rankings I think he had a 65 so that it's gonna give him another 30 points that's definitely putting on top 24 yeah so that's the second high school so he missed first by his first a tiny bit yeah Zach woolens oh God don't pass so what's your stop stop hollering okay see Zach almost passed away number one latest and/or all the overall standings Didion makes it tough 24 now uh-huh we missed we missed sacks epic Lady Luck score where he almost passed my my he's 25 23 points he will oh my god he will do what he does best come in right at the end I think it just met up with 50 points in two games yeah just like that that's how Jim does it man that's what he does it's possible I think Jared is playing not sad because that just finished actually got four point five million four point five million yeah he just he almost was passing my story a little luck on the Lady Luck I see it when I see somebody maxed out the spinner and go for 10 X 10 X gonna be like a four million rape or something so what are we doing in this when you come up to the machine for the first time what are you going for drop targets do you have a late your 10x yep stars don't you want to start with raising your spoon already first or just up to drop check it right away um probably a drop targets raise the spinner when it's convenient you don't want to get too greedy right I think even a basic spinner of 10x is nearly a million yeah then if you finish off the cards you get an EB apparently that you can play maybe I've seen anyone do it I must have gotten close you complete the color by selecting which color you're walking on right with some kind of random target that move I just finished the club's right but the the air there you'll see the arrow move to the theater set a color oh yeah I'm not very sure how I think there was an inland and I was quick and there's a gate on these as well right if you shoot the three number two targets on the play for you to open the game there's a key oh I've never knew now how do you see you see the gate right oh the bottom right corner yeah I think there is a two two to stand up targets and one year the pop bumpers you totally have to complete the drops for 10x it's on the rule card it says both stars when all targets down starts 10x going oh my god Damian is just out of the guys shooting whoo hey Marteau do us a favor Oh g-god what would you like Oh No Damien Damien okay he started the start time although I don't know what the start time does if you don't have all the targets down nice Taji I said wants us to say hi did you'll be great I I had quite a lot of long chat with Julie to gray today in fact we played together in the classics and we both bonded over magic by Stern and how much it killed us and and I saw you over there playing it quite a bit as well yeah yeah yeah that game is it's got some sweet spinner rips but it just has a hard to control lower part in the play field that really does look the same anyway anyway to walk the beat in the middle of the flippers yeah is a dead zone yeah the tips of the flippers were quite weak so it was very hard to do a slap say yep the the middle post there was my mana not because at the time the dead bats were wouldn't work randomly it would just hit the flipper and die and you had to be prepared to flip it away and then yeah you just had to really just be on the fly and kind of just go oh we in it looks like we're in fade to fade to drain would that have been his second not normally the first crank it up mode that people go for on this one they do because of the spinners yeah but I like For Whom the Bell Tolls yeah I like fade to black cuz I find a quite a safe mode really just doing spinners and trying to then get into the Pops it's just a switch yes which is there is a flashing shot that will help you beat it faster if I hit the flashing shot that looks like how my Metallica game went - but I only have movements towards the end though I almost could Doug some of those out no yeah you actually know truth be known you actually do but that's not quite enough oh yeah alright who's that Marc Brown like he's a Padres fan so I'm metallic at the high score so far is four hundred and fifty three million by our good friend Carl D'Python Anghelo well done yeah he killed it yeah absolutely do you know what a what that word is I don't know if I should say that yeah I'll just I'll explain that to you later but thank you John now for bringing that up I did bring some Australian items back with me okay that people would be familiar with if they listened to the interview that we did with Scott Danesi II okay where he talked about his special coin purse that he has oh that's made using a kangaroo's part yes okay okay that's all I need and yes I bought five of them with me and people were delighted with them we should go to theatre magic yeah oh we go and we just missed the bell see to action Oh ball - all right look I'll make sure it's got the magic score calculator let's see how accurate is is that 749 it says it's at 724 what does that do it's supposed to be like analyzing the display and trying to catch the score for you so you don't have to type it in raw okay looks like it's a little off but maybe it fixes itself at the end of the game well that explain the ID you play this game early tonight and when I finished someone went to put my score in and it was already in we got it was a bit freaky but that that must have been how it was done yeah all right Jim look at him taking his time when I gets up wants to get settled what's being changed on this gun oh I don't know they have the weird roms that change a bunch of stuff but in addition to the weird roms that change about stuff they also made it so the trunks modes are only one hit away to make you go after modes which is cool because you usually don't go for modes because the trunk is so dangerous but because he only upped it at once it actually makes a lot of sense and because they nerfed the bonus X and the theater letters and there's a gate yeah they've actually now got the gate closed so no double danger from that little bump okay and they boast myself a tool tough yeah I actually I'm confused cuz they got rid of a gate so that it always diverts into the bumpers whereas I would have thought that would make it worse well I'll always get bonus X well actually when it does come around the orbit here without fail it hits the sling and then it is wild okay that's that's how they've done that I want to see you like Robert Gallo just shoot the center ramp 30 times in a row because I feel like you could do it maybe you had your timing down how many viewers we got here let's see 57 57 thanks for tuning in you guys this is I know we're in the Pacific time zone so for a lot of people it's probably a pretty late yeah well we've got a few Australians there as well it's dinner time taka basin taka taka - uck yeah - car - car either works Taco Time yeah like Taco Time I love tacos multiball whoa look at that boom 100 million thank you look at that n120 gene are you playing tomorrow I mean I mean well depending how this goes I'm towards the bottom of B so I may do Jimmy that's still not a bad game actually that's it's not awful that actually might move him up get him in the running I think he just barely cracked a bill so that's the bill billion is kind of the target score on this game but you don't want to get exactly a bill if you kind of want to get yeah if you guys had any success on this machine I have what do you nothing anything today wash your hands back you know of magic any success today no I think I played it once maybe twice on and I played it once and sucked it out Yeah right yeah I do I didn't want to grind it out I actually had a relatively decent game with a very low score and you're still white and then I looked at the scores and I just realized it was I think the link is never drains calm so your original never drains yes if you go never drains TOCOM slash 2018 oh geez Johnny Monica doing his last minute shenanigans he's probably gonna like knock me out of top four with some crazy whodunit let's see when you have five billion right WHO dunnit eight eight billion yeah weird trick did it yes I'll see where is he at so he's got a ball stuck somewhere it's either that or the bank the the drop target Bank oh right tuck well so Jim was explaining to me that the drop target would get stuck halfway and that was the reason they made the new roms 1.2 1.3 to fix that but then they over fixed it and they they screwed up basically because you know software engineer is whenever they solve a bug you know they never make more bugs but so basically just as a compromise we're gonna eat we're he's using this version that has that bug every once in a while you have to let it ball search yeah it's pretty bad I think the only one need to be twice during my game yeah but it's better than the other bug where it will permanently get stuck down I rest the game right she's just game breaking so 1.7 billion yeah so anything north of three and a half billion is probably gonna be worth it for him he's got the revolver hmm and he's played - y-yeah he has one point eight billion without the revenue that's impressive on its own he's probably oh alright one more free spin for multiball so his outlanes are lit for multiball right now so one of the order again oh look at this he can this is interesting so whenever you after you spin something you can just keep nudging the slots and keep getting more things like he just got more equipment flashlight and how does he like his next pin there's a couple of ways to do it I know some of the floors relights pins and then also I think just hitting the three bank like opening the three bank also lights pins okay I think we'll probably find out in 10 minutes Karen whether Midnight Madness has been set up or to a doctor please oh that would be funny that would be pretty hilarious so so Johnny's best game on this so if I was to point four billion so he just needs to get better pants house party so what he's journey chasing right now he just wants some buy guaranteed I think look at that look at that cheesy smile of his on this profile there Jesus yeah it looks like he's up to something Oh reject from the elevator penthouse party that's good point you want to try to get it on them yeah there you go if you can just get it on the right flipper and then keep backhanding that that right side it's so much faster oh yeah well yeah he's currently sitting in 24 so he just wants to secure his place 24th yeah he could knock him out oh that's a dangerous place to be it really is where did you go he's in dinner already yeah three game in Jim's 15 that's all you know no look just chill yes it's just not playing where was the last time yeah yeah Johnny's a little bit of danger he may be safety for me at all earlier today he did add a few games but he's been busy with you know 2.0 Johnny Johnny he has one more ball right oh that doesn't look like the face of someone who has one more ball oh alright 2.41 boy wow that was good high ball three now alright so he only has one floor left oh oh no oh oh one bean yeah okay that's not bad that's not bad come on baby come on alright so that's definitely put him in this arena he'll be alright now yes needs to exit if it's tin roof all right and this feeds to the left flipper so you can shoot the right orbit and now he has to survive nice and boom man have you tried the loop pass coming back from that he has multiball lit on the out lane behind I did not know that yeah it'll come in handy tomorrow I can assure you and I have no clue what games I'm gonna pick because I love Metallica but I was not having a very good luck with it we noticed and and Dracula also like Dracula but it can kill you yeah that's a white color yeah TNA is probably gonna be picked but I have a feeling if you were playing consistently well on that I know yeah but I have a feeling either someone else is gonna pick it or it might even they could get removed if I don't know who's number one tell at the moment I seen how a car car won't remember that yeah I kind of mentioned that he might not remove in any game yeah and then see what are the other options taxi I would pick taxi that's pretty controllable and I'm gonna get him a few extra points because his whodunits girls already counting in his top seven games so that should give him a few more points got some bonus 5 X or 4 X yeah look at that four point three that's that's pretty solid alright let's see where should we go what's left Jim is on Lady Luck ooh okay let's go there let's watch some Lady Luck some Jim Bell seed oh he's gonna he's just gonna snipe like number one qualifier I'll show what bullies Neyland oh I mean you can see for me I mean there's a lot of there's no way for number one you think so it's 11:50 three seven minutes left oh he's already up all three well I guess it's a one ball game yeah [Music] standing up to 26 he's good he's died out but it looks like so I like that little slow down to the drop target so it's not as much power yeah see he like slows it down okay is closed so you don't need the dropped icon the right oh nice oh it's like the eight ball up a free Bell right it makes a good shot the ball goes side to side and you're like okay I don't know what the upper flipper is meant for on this game I is it for the orbit yeah okay good things I know I'd pop in Portland they had it disabled and you just play with to flip it on it's just the same Keenen okay unranked its Sanjay Sanjay in or is he fighting let's have a look Sanjay I was sitting down earlier yeah it looks like he's already in it's Ritchie playing still 21st Oh Sanjay what do we have yet that last result from Johnny took him from 24th place to 13 Wow sorry what it was worth thank you very happy so will you but Matthew and Zack Wallens just below the cut line and oh wow Frederick Chuck sings as well Fred Richardson yeah Oh is he playing 27 he didn't he probably didn't oh no it's a c e volunteer literally I mean it is a tactical choice at in disc you know 100% sure you're gonna do it to him make sure you volunteer oh well I mean it should all come out in the wash right because if you're volunteering you're giving up hours giving up two hours of play so the good thing during volunteer hours is less people yeah though it's 11 p.m. so you're pretty tired yeah I've you've only got an hour admittedly right I think it just feels bad if you get knocked out well you can't play yeah let's see Ritchie over there yeah Ritchie's must be queuing for something Vanessa can you see me it's on theater magic that could be interesting how about Game of Thrones we haven't seen that all that game was thrown ease me I just saw Ritchie queue up for barbed wire and then vanish oh okay Ritchie stop Jim Bell sido start a game of barbed wire he's only has five minutes right so you have to find a queue where he can't stop the game before the you know the count of midnight ready the second from the right Game of Thrones this junkier Game of Thrones Robo taxi monopoly and TNA on the right side of the bank and then on the left side of the bank we got barbed wire foucha theory of magic Lady Luck Metallica whodunit right down and track I really want to see Sejal play one more game in taxi but he's he's waiting for someone so I don't know he's been chasing that GCO land I know I feel like he can do it yeah it's six million he's not a lot but he has to he has to survive or he has to play it within the next four minutes alright so mad is only game of Thrones been sitting at 34 right now so you need a good showing here a trial by combat I got a knife oh yeah Adam was our extra was warning me about that the feed yeah this feed used to go nice to the flipper but now it's taken a diversion so no you've got to give it a nudge yeah on its way down and the tilts quite generous on this so it is actually quite easy to give you a bit of a slap and then a live catch yeah yeah is this thing here yeah you've got a slap it every time so 247 look at all his blinky lights in the middle three more like a pyramid yeah he's but it's locked - and he's got Lannister and Greyjoy late for our table that's a good stag don't pass though how are you gonna light them again no if you have more than one they still it all the time all of them yeah yeah you don't need to relight anything come on that doesn't look like it so as he just shot it Oh your anthems I think you have to light another mode to light it again so the theory has always been what happens if you light all your modes are you just done are you hosts like what you gonna stop the mode or do you yeah you can't pass at that point or if you do pass it was lose so he could like he could light Terrell already played Tyrone yeah I was just going to say that but um targets always be caching here let's okay so let's go go to taxi we still got well good Bob's on the on the cusp do we want to go to that's really like every should follow Bob last game at 11:58 Lady Luck he needs four points four points yeah so you're 2.2 million before so you just need to do a little bit more than two point to you and there we saw that's the end of it I also the end of Bob Frazee bar it is gonna help to watch the last few minutes so many hopes crushed there's a few successful stories but it's mostly 20 to 34 - angels on taxi all right here we go he got in right under the buzzer or maybe we can wait I think I think we're going for H all right because I mean it is kind of a grindy game Jim is also on barbed wire so we can watch that for a little bit if we want all right in the taxi here we go when I hate on that taxis of plunge you cannot get a grip on that bunch no it screws up I don't know how they did that it's very well done oh it spring so you just yeah wonder if it's like then that was it that was an excellent read by Sejal there it was coming down and it nicked off the edge of this ramp here and it sort of diverted down the middle and he recognized it and he was able to to nudge just enough no danger either yeah yeah he has put some time in on this game yes we can see the chat yes that was a nice bailout and yep he's got that job trying yep so what did what does he do here does he walk on these it looks like he was oh look at that chill maneuver there good he didn't need to use both flippers to slap save he just used one and Oh Gorby reject that Oh almost killed him too nice yeah I've noticed that the goal be in particular it's got to be nailed in there otherwise it doesn't like getting tasks it is true that we have Zach wall on on Gavin thrown fighting for his life hmm I somehow moved into second that's cool okay yeah I floated up late oh say Joel and your tie was Zach right it's a Sejal ball one not anything too special but he has multi wallet there we go he loves doing that that collect passenger so now he has Dracula as a as an option nice drop catch he has Dracula as an option so if he clubs out a multiball he'll be able to start it up again really easily so what what about Game of Thrones where zach is fighting for his life nothing to take away from say Joel but uh Zach Zach Warren he's currently alright if say chill is good he'll still be playing after this game so yes so it's like is this for twenty six right now he needs five points to make it to top twenty four to make it to top twenty four and midnight as wrong so no more new game would start up deserves it we're all done this is god oh oh oh he let his lock okay oh yeah now he went into the vacuum so Zach has no Game of Thrones course so in it you need the sixty three point on Game of Thrones to pump is standing by five points that's it halfway there he's halfway there the pressure though can he handle the pressure it's like two modes I mean uh yeah I would just do what what house did he choose do we know why he's asked to beat Iran alright I mean he would not choose manage to he also wouldn't have this many points without cheese in peril probably all right no what was that scheisse I'm sort of like I don't know what he was going for there he only has his motive the irony had um maybe a lot of lights - he already has two little lights over there so maybe he was just trying to backhand the orbit for value and maybe transfer it to the oh my god did he validated the Pythian he is going to be kicking himself for Wow he was the shock blunt a little too strong there cuz I'm thinking to hit anything as we just said some hopes are getting crushed yes Nadia had quite a lot of people are aware of pin Kade in New Zealand that's in March not sure of the date but look up on my first day Damian Kincaid he's coming up there's only three more games being played I think sage or he's out of taxi at this stage he the meow then is not in the top twenty four so he is I don't see me through he's 50 years oh he needs a hundred and seven points that's not exciting unless no I don't think very possible right there's no more game at this stage I think right somebody on monopoly there that's that's what we have right now so oh yes played a lot of Momo Damon is just playing for circuit points basically at this point and pride and pride yes french pride yeah french braid and so there's also cutoff for a division as well like they have to qualify in division or is it goes to be as well well he I don't think he's eligible for B division I mean like that's what I mean like like proper rules where you can write a big eligible for anything usually they mm bring or 500 Oh 500 that alone okay the demon is a is going to be the French representative at I have the air I heard none of the other French player can travel from what I've been told are you coming to a PA are you representing homeland no primarily just scraping in to be division here I'm not gonna be resonant representing anyone do you guys have some Australians written Richard Rhodes right yeah Richard and Richards watching at the moment that's our G are just there oh cool hi Richard yeah he's great player didn't you talk about something Jordan yeah Jordan Jordan Treadaway so he obviously 1a 1b division at Papa oh very good young guy just he turned 17 Wow two days after Papa that's crazy we got some young ones here too we got Timothy Street I think he qualified oh yeah he was in finals of a bit of big division of Papa no is that Jim qualified here I think he was up there callin urban oh what a shake did Colin qualify I know he was close one 746 he's putting a good showing even if it's oh that wasn't enough oh nice make the wall vanish I do like the tiger multiball as well well played at pin burg on em oh man so you play you played with some Richard in 20s increment was like 12 years old back then yeah I also don't remember like having spectacular games of Demoman so I probably blocked it out of my memory the ninth round I guess huh pin burg 2013 yeah that was at the old building and right yeah I never did well at the old building I only do well with the vision center but yeah I'm certainly hoping to come to pin burg that'll be my next trip oh yeah alright and that's it in disc Wow well man it's that is better day and nobody you can't say off camera but nobody is more relieved than Carl D'Python Anghelo out so get out big big cheater phrasing 9 a.m. 9 a.m. okay we kick off tomorrow early I picked up a mouse and around after watching Raymond killin pop a TV that game is sweet yeah everybody
