Dead Flip streams Hot Shot battle week with technical difficulties and competitive EM pinball play.
Jack Danger plays better when drunk; plays worse when sober (contrasted with co-host who plays better sober)
low confidence · Hosts joking about 'Barnyard science' observation from previous day's drinking game; stated as humorous observation, not serious analysis
Jack Danger was DQ'd from Pinberg Championship in Pittsburgh when his phone accidentally hit the restart button on an EM machine during first ball
high confidence · Jack recounts personal tournament story: 'I stepped up to an EM around this era, maybe earlier. And it was my first ball... my phone in my pocket hit the restart button and totally reset the entire game... And I got DQ'd.'
Colchak (game at Pinball Hall of Fame Las Vegas) has a score-swap mystery award mechanic that swaps players' scores if landed
high confidence · Jack explains: 'If you get this mystery award, what it does is it swaps scores... if I have $30 million and you have $2 million, you get my $30 million and I'm stuck with $2 million'
Bottom Lounge bar in Chicago has rare Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout pinball machine
high confidence · Jack states: 'They have the only Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout that I've ever played'
Hot Shot is a bonus-heavy game where ball saves are not advisable if the ball is draining because you won't earn bonus without targets
medium confidence · Gameplay discussion: 'This game is all bonus. There really is no reason to try to save a ball from this game if it's like going out. Unless you have no targets.'
“I got DQ'd out of that game. I think that's what cost me getting into the finals.”
Jack Danger@ 10:54 — Personal tournament story illustrating consequences of accidental phone-triggered game restart at major championship
“This is actual science. Like, we should be getting a grant.”
Jack Danger (referencing 'We Are Pinball')@ 42:51 — Joking observation about correlation between alcohol and pinball skill performance
“They have the only Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout that I've ever played.”
Jack Danger@ 26:38 — Highlights rarity of specific pinball machine at Bottom Lounge bar venue
“So what we're going to do is we're going to set the stream up there on one of their pins and stream through the party.”
Jack Danger@ 25:00 — Describes alternative streaming plan for next day's animator/3D community event at bar venue

event_signal: Dead Flip hosting off-site streaming event tomorrow at Bottom Lounge bar with Chicago animation/3D community; expecting 30-40+ participants, fire code capacity issues from previous event
high · Jack: 'Tomorrow, there is an event... at a bar that is a few blocks away. And they have lots of pins there... Last time we did it, I think there was about a hundred and... there's a lot of people there and we had to start turning people away because we hit the fire capacity code'
