All right, we are live. Yeah, are you ready for that next week? It's going to be an exciting week of Dark Knight and all sorts of other stuff.
0:16
I got to leave at quarter to six. Quarter to six, so you get to play for 45 minutes. Hang tight. I can't stop doing that. For some reason I can't stop. Hanging ten. Everything's too radical. Oh man. Well, you ready? You ready? Good afternoon, Pinheads, and welcome back to Dead Flip Pinball! Yay! Today is our last day with ACDC, so we're going to blow this thing up as hard as we possibly can. We have a guest with us. Crystal Gamnich is back. Her rank has moved out of the five digits in the world ranking and moved up to the four digits. You are now 9,950-something. Okay. Yeah. I'll take it. You're doing it. I'll take it. There they are. Tradition. Thanks for coming.
1:13
Today, folks, we're streaming, instead of into the pinball channel, we're streaming into the Extra Life channel, the charity for sick kids that need money and all that fun stuff. So be awesome. Donate. I have a link below the viewer that you're looking at right now. It's a little blue box. It says Extra Life. Give some money. It would be awesome. They need money. They need lots of money. Every time I hit the bell, give some money. Whenever we hit the bell, donate $100.

An angel gets its wings. That's adorable. That is adorable. That's like being in a movie somewhere. Yeah. We should make a movie based around that. So let's do that. All right. I'm not keeping track of bell hits. If you folks want to, you're more than welcome to. You're getting it. Keep track of bell hits.
2:07
So like we always do, we're going to get a practice game in just to feel it out. We made some repairs to the game because some of the rubbers were breaking.
2:16
If you watched yesterday, one of them broke and a ball got stuck in a really weird place. So there's four new rubbers on the game. There's one under here that's a little guy like this. Let me pull up the game field so people can see what you're pointing at here. We can see them a little easier than you can because they're kind of unders and stuff. But all the new ones are white instead of black. Yeah. White rubber is a little bit more bouncy. They're bouncier for sure.
2:41
So you have a new one right here, a new one right here. This is the one that broke yesterday. And a ball got wedged up inside of there, and Chuck was playing his multi-ball like a chump. Do you guys just have like a vault where you keep all this extra shit? We have a bag of rubbers right there. Bag of rubbers. My homeboys do too.
2:57
So the slingshots have two new white ones. Those weren't quite broken, but they were getting there. Those are going to suck. I already updated it, and it is a very different game from yesterday as far as bouncing. It's pretty slick. I also cleaned the kind of main part of the play field, so that's a little better. Oh, you waxed it too? I didn't quite wax it, but I just kind of wiped it down. This is going to be brutal. What was interesting is we had to take all this stuff off up to here. The whole ramp had to come up, yeah. We had to take it all the way off up to here to get into this. So it was kind of an interesting... Is it all put back together correctly? I played the game on it. I played the game on it, and I think we're ready to go. So I might as well be the dummy to see... You want to go first? All right, Nick's going to start us off. Good job, bud. again folks we're streaming to Extra Life's channel instead of our typical pinball channel just to help out the charity there is a box below if you folks want to donate that's a bell hit still slanging and he throws it up The War Machine loop.
4:20
Oh, my gosh. Those slingshots are out of control. Tenderoni. Thanks to Chromio for coming up with that.
4:35
Because you're my tenderoni. Tradition, are we going to see you on Sunday, man, at Emporium? Be there for the big old charity event. Oh, nice save. Oh. Wait, did you adjust the tilt, too? No, that seemed like an okay save. Crystal, I'll let you go next, but give it a second because Nick sort of shook the crap out of it.
5:06
Ay carumba. Yes, we have an answer. These guys up here, can they dance? They do dance. Do you do one during multi-ball? During multi-ball. Yep. Yeah, their legs start kicking and all that fun stuff. No, you can still choose. During multi-ball, I'm taking it for a... All right, Tradition's going to be there Sunday. Yeah, do we know them and him? Tradition, have we met you before?
5:35
At like Expo or anywhere else? Ride sales? Yeah. Anywhere I may have met you? We go to a lot of estate sales. No wall sales. I'm up. Spoil little ACDC player.
5:51
Spoil little ACDC player. Balls. Rock and roll, girls. Wait, what mode did you play, buddy? Oh, old school. But I didn't hit anything. Oh, really?
6:04
All right. Well, then we're going to go to Hell's Bells. Folks, what I like to do is I start Hell's Bells. The mode is a little side to the ramps that I like to hit, because hitting the ramps enough times lights up your jam multiball. Pretty much all I do is just go for multiballs at all times on this game. Jam, ramp, album, targets, tour, orbit. Is that right? Right. Tour, orbits, album is targets, jam is ramps. Correct. Crystal!
6:35
You're killing it, bud. All right. You studied well. I'm still a veteran. This is my temple machine. Wait, you own this? I don't own any of my games. Oh, my gosh. And that's why we play practice games, folks, because you've got to get the feel for it. What?
6:56
There he is. Beautiful. Thank you. Just let me know, Lauren. I didn't shake it, if that's what you're saying. I didn't shake it all night long. All right, so we all did that really great ball one. Nick, this is for the kids, man.
7:14
Thunder. Solid, solid, solid dead flip. Accidentally hits his Thunderstar target. And starts up Jam Multiball.
7:31
Uses his cannon to hit the bell. And he is one hit away, I believe, from having his QX playfield. Are you going to Ben's party for the Pinball Chicago season opening? Of course I'm going. Yeah, I think so. Right on. I, unfortunately, am having a house party, so we'll not be making it. What time does that start? Oh, baby. That's a great question. My girlfriend put it together.
8:04
You're fine. But we're in Andersonville. Do you want to swing by? All right. And I knew there was no turning back. So Nick is wasting our time.
8:19
He has nothing counting down. One more bell hit will have him at 2x. Good cradle separation. Game analysis.
8:31
I'm announcing. Solid. Oh, and he uses his VIP pass to bring his multi-ball back. So apparently he was only missing one shot to get his add-a-ball, and by hitting your VIP it gives you that last shot that you needed to get your add-a-ball going. That's perfect. And that's what he did.
8:57
Three more. Everybody out of the pool. That was really bad, folks. Oh, half-throwing. You made it? Get up there. Get up there, girl.
9:12
So, let's say what you need. You hold up the right flipper and then select with the left? When you do what? Do you want to look at what you need to click? It doesn't matter what flipper you hold on. You hold one of them down, you select with the other. People typically, it's whatever ball you have cradled is the one you're holding up.
9:31
He goes for his eight million jackpot, but he could have hit the bell to double that. Solid gold. Mitt Campbell, everybody.
9:44
All right, Crystal. What could never happen? The regular skill shot. Yes, if you hit the skill shot, that gives you a VIP. If you do a super skill shot, it gives you two VIPs.
10:07
But super skill shots are a nightmare. Oh, a little too much English. Breathe. Yo, it's terrific. It's terrific.
10:23
Let me know if I'm asleep. Give it up to God. Come on, change into a stud.
10:37
Oh, Margaret. Mary Margaret. Living on a mission. On Sunday, is it okay to show up and hang out and not be in the tournament? Why would you be in the tournament? He's dragging his girlfriend along. Dave Kiss. Fellow Deadflip member who recently moved to Cleveland. Hi, Dave Kiss. Welcome to the stream, buddy.
11:05
Aw, Dave Kiss. Oh, my goodness. He actually is a really great guy. He's funny to look at, funny to listen to. You wouldn't think he's a great guy by looking at him, but he's actually a really great guy. By looking at him?
11:18
He's a funny looking guy. He's a great looking guy. JK, what did we say yesterday? Oh, we heard the Owie song.
11:31
Oh, yeah, there's a song that says Owie. Oh, yeah. It's like... Oh. Yeah. Throw me in, Dave. Dave, we're already on ball two, brother. We'd let you play.
11:54
Yeah, Wild Night. By Tony Braxton. Tony Braxton, very good. Bill Paxton. Bill Paxton Burger? That's his name, right? Will Paxton.
12:13
Willy Wonka. Willy? Or Wonnie? Oh! I got roared. I got bell roared. Wait, does that count as a charity? It didn't ring. Every time a bell rings.
12:31
Here. Angels get in their way. Jump. Oh, baby, we going combo. My goodness. Mom? Oh, Mom. Mom? No, I was looking for that. I was looking for it. I found it.
12:55
That's like a fake little thing. The Cubs. Marie Kelly. Jaded. Thanks for coming. Folks, we're streaming on Extra Life's charity channel.
13:06
Donate if you feel like it. That would be totally awesome. Those kids need some monays. For the money.
13:17
Wait, what was I shooting for? All right, we're going to backhand this. One-handed, like this. Don't even worry.
13:26
Shut up! All right, don't take your eyes off the game, folks. For the kids. Hands on the cover. Yeah, no kidding. I screwed up. That was bad, bro.
13:39
That was cool looking, though. It would have been a lot cooler if I made it. One turkey bank. Okay, all right. I'm done.
13:51
I'm just going to eat it. What up? Josh Bacon, thanks for coming back. Oh, yeah, so you can see that I have a song ready. Yeah. I think you can see the tune. Jaden, no, extra life does not mean we're marathoning ACDC. We're still trying to figure out that 24-hour stream thing. That's probably not going to happen for a little bit.
14:12
Christmas miracle? Marathon all your machines. Oh, man, a gauntlet. If we had the capability of streaming everything. Maybe we do a 12-hour thing. I think we can do a game... An hour. If you did a game an hour, just circle them. Game an hour is too much, because we played for two hours just on a game. I think we should do a game every two hours.
14:38
So, play ECDC for two hours, move on. Swift. Beautiful. Swift. Yeah, I think that could work. Right? Because it's going to take maybe 15 or 20 to recapitulate that, but we never have to turn the stream off. We get Gavin to donate a dolly. Oh, just move them in and out of place. Dolly in, dolly out. It'll take five minutes. We need those Papa Duke caster feet. Lock them up. Hog, thanks for coming.
15:11
Not naked. And a U2. Thanks for coming, folks. And... Big N. Oh, Big N, right? Big N. Big N playing your tournament. Big N. Big N? Big N. Idaho. Bad, bad robot. Thanks for coming back. Where's Pizza?
15:36
Where's Pizza Fan? He's usually here by now. Yeah. Pizza Fan. This is our practice game, folks, and we'll get into the tournament stuff soon. Yes, these scores are trash. I apologize. Yeah, they're garbage. We'll get better. Too bad on the outlay drains. Furniture sliders under the feet work.
15:55
No salt yet. We're just practicing, but I'm sure based on these scores, we're going to need it pretty soon. Yeah, yeah. I already heard you need it.
16:07
Brown schwager. Yeah. Sausage. All right. Sausage. No, sausage. You know what? I take that back. I'm going to need all that salt. Jack, what does that mean on your phone? Pinball League. So that, yeah. Well, I don't want to get beat up by real bikers.
16:26
Breaking Dead. It's pretty much just drinking beer and playing pinball. I don't know how we make money here. I've got Dino.
16:35
Not naked. Wait. What? You are naked? Maybe he has money on reason. What are you eating? Maybe he has reason, a way that we can make money here. Wait. The bell. Have we counted? Does anybody come to the bus? She says, the bell. Like, how about, oh, Dead Flip in Cleveland.
16:53
Oh, no. It better not be called Dead Flip. I will. Oh, the salt. Thanks, Hog. I appreciate it. Yes. There you go. Dead Flip. Oh, Dave Kiss, number three in A Division? What? D-K. We're real proud of you, bro. Dave Kiss is a fellow founding member of Dead Flip. He moved to Cleveland not too long ago, and apparently he's busting some heads out there pinball style. Pinball? Pinball style. Okay, so. High five. No, don't do it.
17:25
All right, so how are we going to do this? I've got to go in maybe one or two games. Then we'll just do what we did 3-2-1 style or 2-1-0 style. Just play two games and then see where we sit. I think three will take you to the point of no return. As soon as 540 hits, I'm rolling. 540. All right, let me pull up the rules.
17:48
First, second, third. How should we figure that out? How about you go first. Okay. Crystal goes second.
18:03
Whoa, baby. Call me tag. Busting heads. Pinball style. Dave Pierce. There's the one with the hairy chest. Dave Pierce.
18:18
Wait, what? First is the worst, second is the best, third is the one with the hairy chest. But wait, Nick has the hairy chest.
18:28
I'll break you on like a hurricane. A.K.A. not touching anyone. Yeah, keeping your hands clean and not touching anybody. Busting hands pinball style. A.K.A. not touching anyone. All right, so I've got a really good start here. A million points. Yo, could you imagine a million points? You can't even console me. I can't. I haven't figured it out yet. Is the right flipper the super special? Yeah, you hold in the right flipper. Once it's up there. You can plunge with that, too, but hold the right flipper in, yeah.
19:04
Oh, my God. Don't take your hands off the game. Wow, what a trick. Oh, frick. What is that? Crystal, I am bad at spell. You're getting shout-outs, darling.
19:19
Can I? What? Mike, he... Wait, that's Mike Beach House? Mike Beach House. But he gets to have the last name Beach House?
19:41
My name is like a sportscaster. Oh, like, I don't know. Is it sportscaster? Mike Sportscaster Beach House. My name is Mike Beach House.
19:54
I'm no Jack Taser. Yeah, neither am I, buddy. I do not live up to my reputation. I think that's the only thing I know how to do in Pimple.
20:08
Calmate. One day you're, uh-oh. Happy, rampy, hampy, crampy. Don't slip. Don't slip. Alright, folks, I'm just going to rock these ramps until Jam Multiball starts. Oh, and this.
20:29
And then when Jam Multiball starts, I'm going to play Jam Multiball. Wait, is that a tilt? No, I mean, I have a danger already.
20:47
Oh! That was blow-pucky. Dude, that was a... It got caught on an atom and came rolling back down. You were off. That's not how it happened.
21:02
Caught on an atom. All right. Two dangers. You know, we've got to get warmed up. It's no big deal, even though this is a torn on that. Oh, baby.
21:17
Folks, again, for you just coming in, we're streaming on Extra Life Channel, not Pinball, the typical pinball channel that we stream on to help get the word out for that charity.
21:29
Nick has two dangers, so he needs to calm down. What the hell was that? I thought it would bounce over. I'm sorry, dude. I love this. All right. We're killing it.
21:49
Oh, yeah. That's this weekend. What is? Yeah. Doc Helix. Helix this weekend. You got to come to... There's a lot of stuff happening. Sunday. Emporium Wicker Park. Charity event. Saturday. Fantasy. Danimo is streaming. Oh, he's talking about the Extra Life thing.
22:14
The streaming for the... Streaming for the stick of kids. So what is our thing? We're all doing it. You know the charity link we have below? They started a channel on Twitch that you can stream to. So we're doing that this weekend instead of doing it to pinball. to get the word out for the charity. The charity is for something else Sunday. Oh, the thing Sunday is the Pops tournament, the pinball outreach project for another charity. Yes. That is not extra.
22:49
High score. Here we go. Three million on ball two. Three million. If I taught you anything, folks, don't look away when you shoot for your multiball. I did it. The first one.
23:09
Oh, Bart. Thanks, Dad. Well, that didn't do anything. That didn't do anything. Oh, I'll get that back.
23:24
Why are none of these... I think you did something to this machine. Because I cannot find my shots anymore.
23:37
Mom? No. No! How could you? Pinball. I trusted you. Pinball. I have giant monkey hands. Oh, my 2X fell off. All sorts of charity going on. Yeah, buddy.
24:11
It's for the kids, you know. Kids get sick. They don't deserve it because they didn't do anything. Mom?
24:27
Hello, Mom? This game's not treating me right. Call your mom. Oh, buddy! Oh, come off. No, no, no, you son of a biscuit. it. Six doors for six kids. Big drain, bro. Big drain, thanks. Give me my thick beard.
25:12
Doing something to the machine is what happens when you repair it with scissors. You're right, Jaden. We need a more proper way of fixing these things. Oh, baby. All right, Nick. Nick is spamming the ramp until he gets jam multi-ball. Spamming is the new word compared to what Chuck was saying yesterday. I tried to change subjects real quick. Oh, he just needs a right ramp, folks, to get his multiball started. And that ball is dirty. Oh, dirty backhand. One more time. Look away.
26:04
Two of them. Oh, crap. Oh! Wait, why did the flipper stop working? I think what I fixed it with scissors, the power... Well, you see, the flux capacitor came detached from the... Right, right, right. Okay.
26:29
The flux? It's definitely a little faster since I cleaned it. It's a lot faster. It's a lot bouncier. The slingshots aren't helping. Yeah, folks, if you were watching yesterday, some of the rubbers broke on the machine towards the end of the stream.
26:45
Titan, welcome. And Nick spent all day replacing those rubbers, but he put white ones on instead of black ones, so they are super bouncy.
26:58
Oh, nice bell hit. So you're saying the repair job didn't cut it. We used actual tools today. That's the first time I've ever used a can.
27:13
We have flipper rubbers. Looks like a rubber band. That's what goes on the flippers. We got tons of these big ones, right? We don't need those for any of these games.
27:25
You just stretch them. But you gotta take everything off. So I can get to them. I'll just put my beer over here. Or am I drinking it?
27:35
Wait, you're not leaving it, are you? Hey, Crystal, can you click that for me? No, just bump. Thanks, bud.
27:53
All right. So, Crystal, you are definitely second place. Hell yeah. It's an important shot to figure out, that's for sure.
28:06
Because collecting that jackpot right away means nothing right out of the plunge, because it's only worth like a million points. All right, I found all the Kugel targets.
28:23
Yeah, we'll go up that ramp instead. Okay. Steve Ritchie says it, I does it. Welcome to hell. Oh, crap. What did I just do? Oh, I screwed it up. That's okay.
28:54
Yeah, buddy. Please give me... No? Nothing? Well, we don't like to talk about that. It went down my stomach.
29:23
Alright, so that's two points for danger. One point for Crystal. Zero points for Nick Gamble. So, I go first, right?
29:39
I go first, Crystal goes. All right, here we go. You know what? Let's change it up. Let's not do Hell's Bells. Let's get a little rich.
29:52
You know what sounds good? A little shook me. It my favorite song by ACDC The mode incredible for beginners like me Come on beginner Swip
30:05
Beginner's butt. Swip? No, for the kids. Let's play ball. You guys were talking about putting the bumpers on the first multiball and letting the first multiball drain. Yeah. Isn't that great? Because it just feeds it right up there.
30:36
Oh, man. It's like our only strategy when this game gets off. Yep. Is get multiball, drain all your balls during your ball save. And you guys played it on Throwback Thursday.
30:46
We did. Aw. Throwback Thursday. Is that going to be a thing? Oh. Oh, folks, folks, that was beautiful.
31:00
Zabadoo. No one knows the lyrics to these dang songs. Yes, you. Crystal light. P&T, holy crap. Folks, she's playing a bold mode right now. Now, this mode can pay off, but you've got to hit those dangerous, dangerous middle targets there. Oh.
31:41
Which she completely ignored. You know, it's smart that you ignored him, though. I was like, I'm going to play a really hard mode. That brings up a good point. Yeah, a ball that you do completely terrible on is called a house ball. Because the house balls? That. I thought it was because you're at a bowling alley and you're playing with their shitty balls and it never does what you tell it to. Oh, I thought it was like Vegas, like the house balls. I thought it was a bowling alley thing. I don't know. It could be both. Because if you go to a bowling alley, you bring your own ball and it goes where you throw it. You get the house balls all chipped up and stupid and it never goes where you throw it. It's got like some weird lady's name on it. Yeah, there's like band-aids in the finger holes.
32:18
Gross. That's where my band-aid went. The old band-aid in the finger hole. Oh, the... Hand cramp. It feels like when you shoot it, like you're just... You're not... Like, you didn't push it properly.
32:49
Woo! Hand cramp. Hey, let's bang! Oh, I got big! Killed! Yo. Yeah, why are you doing that? I think it might be the chopsticks.
33:04
Alright, folks. We're so good again! We're incredible at pinball. Guys, we should start streaming live. Wait! We should never stream live ever when we're playing. That's what I meant. Oh, never stream live. because our scores are terrible right now.
33:23
There we go. So I've hit enough pop bumpers in Trick Me All Night Long to light up my shots. And jam is lit. So I've just got to backhand this. Big money right here.
33:37
Money, no money. Oh, oh, oh. Whew. All right. So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to scoop jam. When I light up the multi-ball, I'm going to let both of my balls grain. that feeds it back into the pops without having to shoot up there. And I just get a hell of a lot more money for this mode.
33:57
Plus, I might have 2x with this cannonhead. The answer is no. Stay up there, ding-dong. Took me out.
34:14
Love you. Stay alive. I love you. Nope. Oh, yeah, that felt good. Good. And with the usage of my BMP passes, I brought my add-a-ball back. Why do I only have two balls? I thought add-a-ball added a ball.
34:48
Oh, crap. You want to try not to use them, like mash the crap out of it, because you don't want to spend more than you need to. Because every time you hit one, it gives you a shot that you needed, and if you only needed one, then you just wasted one on another shot.
35:19
All right, so now I need to drain. Perfect. Strategic. Nailed it. Strategic. Nailed it. Hey, Nick, can you grab me a... See me ride. Folks, thanks again for coming. We're streaming on Extra Life's channel instead of Pinball today. We might also be streaming our tournament on Sunday on Extra Life as well. But thanks for supporting Sick Kids. This is incredible. You guys are awesome.
35:55
Oy. Nope. Careful. Careful of them flapping. Oh, what's he going to do? Fell? Beautifully done. Masterfully done. I don't have a bottle opener for these root beers. This beer just keeps getting less fancier every time I drink it.
36:22
Hey, there's German. Oh, yeah. It's a Chysa. Yeah? What'd you learn? Yo, that is an important shot on this game.
36:42
It's so slippery. Oh, the plate field, yeah. Hey now. Hey now, hey now. Ooh, love it. Nick's getting tricky, folks.
36:57
Beautiful. Oh, you didn't fix that little rail in the left inlay? I did, but it just popped out. Was the eyeball fixed? Yeah, Nick fixed that with a pair of scissors. Yeah, dude. With your little face. Oh, so folks, he's got jam multi-ball lead. He just needs to hit the right ramp.
37:21
This is ball tube. Yes. Holy farts. That was only a danger, too. Well, it's because he does all these push-ups all day. And he just can't stop slipping.
37:38
Yeah. You have to play pinball. You can't do them on the pinball machine because you'll tilt it. Watch me. Oh. Uh-oh. Great. It's a challenge. Here we go. Oh, kill him.
37:52
Dump. Oh, you got roared. What's going to happen? It's out of control. No. Over. Over the flippers. I got it. Under. Is there a name for that when the ball hits the left?
38:08
Airball. Yeah, I guess we just call it an air ball. That was unfortunate. That was unfortunate, but guess what? Guess what? We got this.
38:19
Come in, Mom. Oh, Jack Benson's here. Good to see you, buddy. Did you call up? Because the phone was not ringing. I did. Oh, I'm sorry. That's all right. I didn't hear the phone. Anyway, welcome. Folks, Jack Benson is here from the Hooligans. They're the team represented by Logan Arcade here in Chicago.
38:37
Here to blow it up with us. We're in the middle of a very crappy game at ACDC, and then we'll throw you on.
38:48
Comparatively. We're just trying different modes here to see what pans out best. White rubbers, clean play field.
39:05
You know, for the kids. Oh, baby, come on. Bing bong. That ain't going to do it. All right, Chris, we'll kill it.
39:27
Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's typically how the stream goes. It's not until, like, our fourth game that the 100s, 200s start popping their heads up. Yeah, you've got to put your name on. Yeah. I think you've done it every day. Every day this week. Gavin dropped that off for us. Yeah. That's what we're going to be playing next week. Blind Robin, right? Yeah, we went there the day he put it in and blew the crap out of that thing. Dude, it's awesome. I had fun. Yeah, it is. And they have a... So Medieval Magnet set, Logan, is an original, not a remake. Yeah. That's beautiful, man. Yeah, that's awesome.
40:02
They had to have... That's like a Christmas present for everybody. Halloween present. Yeah, it is. No, no, no. Jack, if you want beer, it's in the fridge, and water and all that stuff, go for it. Okay, folks.
40:16
So there it is. So Jack gets... Oh, never mind. Nick still plays. All right, a clean one. Not good. All right, right ramp, buddy. Take it home. that's it that's all you needed a rolling thunder pouring rain Nick Campbell previous Papa C winner we also have another Papa C winner here today holy crap we got Jack Benson today
41:04
pardon me Yeah, we just started a little while ago, so we should be good. We're also streaming to the charity page on Twitch instead of to pinball right now.
41:20
It's pretty good because you can play, and then when you do something amazing, you look over and you get to watch it.
41:35
So Nick has three X rolling. Holy farts. He took first place. Time to put it in. Nothing down your side.
41:51
I never noticed that column work. What? All the beeps. $1.75. Thanks for coming back, man. That's Nick's alarm that he has to get the alarm.
42:16
So Nick got two. I got one. Yeah, I was ready. Yeah, if you screw up, you get to watch it again. Oh, yeah.
42:41
Yeah. Oh, love it. Come on, buddy. Keep it up. The fact that the rules are just so all over the place on this thing just makes it incredible to play over and over again. Yeah.
43:12
Yeah. They're like, we want to rule some chronological stuff. Good freaking ball.
43:27
Jay Favelli. I don't know if I'm saying your name right, but thanks for coming. Nick's leaving you didn't win great see you later yeah Sunday yes come by Emporium Wicker Park on Sunday at 1pm yeah charity tournament it's 20 bucks to enter it's for a good cause pinball outreach project IFPA points oh yeah got to get some yep got to stay on top of your state ranking You know, I tried going in there yesterday, and there was like a Chicagoist party, and I couldn't get in.
44:08
All right, folks, we're going to start this over again since Nick's leaving like a jerk. See you, bud. I had a dream on Saturday night, the Saturday night event. No way. Where I was like, I had a dream that one of the Emporiums bought Congo.
44:36
What, dream about me winning a lot of money, please? Damn it. So what we're going to do is we're going to play the old winner gets two points, second place gets one point, last place gets zero points. We're going to play to, I think, like maybe seven points, if that sounds good. Yeah. Awesome. Um, folks, let's get this started. Loser has to walk home. I have a bike, though. No, you can't fucking ride it. I'm sorry. You can't farting ride that. Uh, for the kids, folks.
45:10
Um, oh, I guess I'll go first. Uh, I guess just do me a favor. Don't put any beer on that thing. But you can ring up that table all you want. Uh, is this Nick's?
45:22
What a jerk. I'm double fisting no he was drinking a beer alright take your time I'm going to play this ball forever just kidding alright here we go right into it folks and I'm just going to do the old usual right into jam multi ball oh that feed it's freaking bad It's it's bad
45:54
The only way to stop that is like a fatter rubber up there or that weird game half gate thing that a trick puts in his games
46:02
Oh, yeah, that's right and they have that on a spider-man That's so rad what's a good first modern machine honestly my favorite is a CDC That's my favorite game to come out in like the past five years for sure
46:21
price. Yeah. The pallet is great. Depends on how deep your pockets are. Well, yeah. Yeah, I guess, like, what's modern for you guys? Well, if you're just getting into it, I guess this would be about as modern. I mean, because, yeah, that really depends. Just buy an ACDC. If you got money and you don't care, just buy an ACDC. It's a fun, fun-ass game. No. I'm surprised there is a rule card.
46:55
Oh, that sucks. There we go. Why am I missing every backhand right now? Thanks, Mom. All right, buddy. Who's up? Jack? Take it home, bud. Sure. Where's Gooby? Walk it home.
47:19
So, like, apparently everybody's into house bells all day. That's what the Sharps instructed us to do.
47:28
Metallica Pro, much better buy. Yeah, Metallica Pro. Yeah. I need something to get better at. We have a Metallica Pro behind us, actually.
47:39
Go to an arcade somewhere that has machines and just see what machines really attract you. That's also, actually, that might be the best way to figure that out.
47:49
Oh, it's perfect, Crystal. Dude, white rubbers on slingshots should not be a thing. First DMD game I owned was Dracula. Dude, Bram Stoker's Dracula is awesome. You're hard for it, that's your first. do you still exist? Well, they do in bar form.
48:21
That's a great question. Our tilts aren't that loose. Let me see if my phone's ringing here. You know, to stop death phase and stuff. They knew you were coming back. Yeah, and the save the floor. Oh, my God, to save the floor. The, where is it? I think we, like, repaired it. One of these machines just freaking, oh, right there, just started gouging. And that's, like, a day. That's it. Like, maybe four games. Just eating the floor away.
48:59
It's got those rubber feet, man. They work really well, yeah. Dude, those things are crazy. Roadshow was my first game. Great game. Dude, Roadshow's awesome. No one should knock that.
49:11
The scoring's kind of invalid. He's saying people were hating on the theme. Yeah, the multiball song is... That's questionable. Just a touch. Yeah, I don't know if that was really... I guess it was the girl who, like, one of the talking heads was female. He's like a fainted... Sheena Wayman. She stings the thong, I think. Oh, really? That's the singer of the multiball song. Jada, Gums and Roses is a lot of fun, too. If you can dial in that right ramp, that is... Roadshow. Antique Roadshow.
49:49
The Tom Tom Brothers? Oh, really? I have never heard of that in my life. Oh, that's gone. Tilt? No tilt? All right, that's fine.
50:06
Just a good old drink. Oh, crystal. Arcades still exist if you live in Chicago. But they are only bars. They're bar caves. There are no official just walk into an arcade. The last one of those closed down, I want to say, 10 years ago here because it was just overrun with really nasty people.
50:29
Yeah, Pimble Pete's in Michigan. Tradition, thanks for coming, man. See you Sunday. That's going to be awesome. Bring your girlfriend. She's going to hate it. Hey. Yeah, no, no. Yeah. Unless he's awesome, right? Unless he's cool. Who knows? Jack, by the way, if you haven't noticed, that is the camera that's looking at you. Yeah, that's the face.
50:52
Game. Boop. Boop, boop. All right. High score. Oh, Bart. No. Dude, I'm surprised you had fun. Dude, I didn't. I was like, you know, I've been playing this game for eight years, and I've never gotten to the end. The Valinor? No, not Valinor.
51:17
That would require, like, three hours. I used to play a lot, and I've never gotten to the end. And, unfortunately, today I invite my girlfriend to come play arcade with me. You start tearing it up. I'm tearing it back. Whoa! All right, so we're going to try to backhand this and not touch the game, because I'm going to tilt. Pinball Pete. Hell yeah.
51:43
Oh, what? That's awesome, dude. That's rad, man. Hell yeah. Yeah. Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum. I'm having a stroke right now trying to say that name.
52:10
Do you know what the worst time to have a stroke is? Oh, no. Well, probably. That's the worst time. Oh, baby. You don't want to have a stroke on your plate. There might be worse times, but that seems pretty bad.
52:26
You're a fish. You're a dead fish. Oh, no. All right, here we go. Where the frick is my add-a-ball? I don't know what shot it is.
52:41
I've hit everything, I thought. Well, I didn't hit that just now. Just use a VIP, I guess. So I used my VIP pass post to bring my multi-ball back to life, and it also gave me my last shot to the bell that I needed to light up my 2x playfield. Now I just need to actually hit something.
53:09
Get up there. That would have been great. Well, at least he didn't yell at me for it. No. Aw, you're the worst.
53:28
Oh, he's there right now? Hell yeah. Yeah, which pinball piece are you at right now? Tombo. Oh, that was a poor drop catch.
53:48
Poor drop catch. Full. Damn. Still a really terrible score. I've been going to Pinball Pete since I was 16. He's in the Ann Arbor one. The Ann Arbor one. Oh, super skill? There you go. You got it. You actually got it.
54:12
10 cents. Thanks for coming, buddy. Again, folks, we're streaming in the Extra Life charity channel instead of the Pinball channel today. And we're probably going to stream on Sunday also just to help get awareness out there for these thick kids. We also have a link down below for you to donate if you'd like to. It makes it a lot easier for people to spread the load.
54:38
Where is the load? Alright, so Jack is in album multiball with 2x rolling. Oh, and he grazes the target.
54:57
Oh no! Whoa, dude. No. Come on, Charlie. You're fine. I was saying that about my play. Could you just stop doing that? I was playing really bad right there. Jack, just call that person, huh? Man. Oh, baby, there's that slap. Yeah, you got to call for your mom. Oh. Ouch. Hung right there. Yep. and there's nothing you can do because you just freeze you're like wow look at that it's just it's not moving who does that alright darling you got this take it home only thing about pinball pizza is there seems to be no employees present hey Crystal you want to give me some love on this thing Blunt.
55:55
Oh, hold on. So click Richie again. Okay, there. So now that that's green, hit that. Yeah, beautiful. Thank you.
56:05
We got to find a way to automate that. Right now it's by hand. Yeah, you can get like a face print. Yeah, everyone says that. Oh, I'll take it. Turn. Give me the technology.
56:24
Give me the technology. All right. Back into Jam Multiball. Going to use the cannon to hit the... Down matrix display. Going to use the cannon to hit the bell. I'm probably going to need a few more hits for the bell.
56:43
Oh, yeah. As your little... Yeah. Or just draw, like, the worst photo and take a picture. Oh, Lazarus ball, baby. I'll take it.
57:01
So Lazarus is where the ball leaves, but jumps right back into play all by itself. Oh, I guess I could have used my VIP to save that.
57:19
Gaming Classic? I love that. Oh, give me a break. Not good. I'm going to be there next year. Midwest Gaming Classic? I can't. It's the business. It's so much fun. That was my first convention ever.
57:38
Plus, they have... They have, like, video game tournaments, too, if that's what you're into. If you want to do, like, speed runs of Mario Brothers. I played Dr. Mario for like three hours. My buddy and I had a great time. Oh, he's going to take a seat here. He's just letting that tilt bob calm down. Meditating. We're investing in a tilt cam also so we can put a tilt bob up there for people. Well, just the camera inside of there to look at the tilt bob, the plumb, so that people can see how it's rattling around.
58:13
Wow, that's cool. It's going to be good. I described the tilt plumb. It's bad. You can't explain it with your hands without looking like a creep. It's bright red.
58:30
Nice. I didn't realize you had two dangers, Eddie. Oh, God, that scared me. We keep this machine about as hard as you can have an ACDC.
58:45
We used to have it such a two ball for the longest time too, but people were complaining when they'd come over to mess with it.
58:56
It was great because when you go out into the field and play, you forget that you had another ball. And it was just sort of like a hookup at that point.
59:07
All right, so Jack takes two points. Benson takes a point, and Crystal gets to sit on a goose egg right now.
59:21
Pinballs with a Z is also really cool. It's an arcade that's 90% pinball machines. Is that in Ann Arbor?
59:29
Pinballs. All right, so we do winners go first, just to make it fair for the people that didn't do so well. So I'll take over. You'll go second. Crystal will go last. It's debatable how much that helps.
59:42
Yeah, first or second? Yeah. Because I feel like the pressure put on you when you're last might be too much to handle compared to just getting it out of the way and going to sit down. Yeah I can see how really really good players want to do that Like keep that T win I don think it would matter if they went first or second Right
60:06
Meditate a little bit. Pearls, pearls, all over again, folks. Oh, that was a flip and a drain. Flip and a drain.
60:21
Flip and a drain. I like playing chick me only for the song. Dude, that feed is trouble. It is very troublesome.
60:46
Back in black. Oh, hell yeah. You're hitting your targets. I'm telling you, I sweat enough when I play pinball. I'm just out of shape.
61:02
It's all glutes, baby. Ah, Nightbot, thanks for telling people to donate. I have an automated moderator.
61:11
Nightbot. Oh, God, I wish I could rename him now. Oh, Black Nightbot. Black and black. Zim, zim, zim, zim, zim. Nice. Nice, nice.
61:37
Oh, post pass. Here we go. My man. So what you're doing is you're cradling the ball, and you quickly drop the flipper and flip again, and it knocks the ball into the bottom of the slingshot and bounces it over to the other flipper.
61:56
Yeah. I like that. If you're on a machine that's free play, practice all that stuff. I want to see it. It pays off really well. It works especially well in a house family.
62:07
Oh, yes, it does. It's very nice. Give that a second to calm down before you plunge that. I don't want you roughhousing it while it's still swinging.
62:18
That's for pizza. It doesn't make any sense, Stephen. Do you guys have a secret pinball room arcade? Not really a secret. We have pinball machines all throughout our studio here. You just pull on Moby Dick. You pull that out of the library shelf. Yep. Actually, it's the only book on the shelf. There's nothing else on there. It's not like I'm going to be mad at you. Secret door. Secret pinball room. All right. No, we're actually standing in our shooting space, which is slowly being taken over by pinball machines.
62:56
You drained. Whoa. You're doing better than me. You didn't hit anything. I don't have anything that would, like, have an invasion. I would want to be taken over by pinball machines. Oh, hell yeah. It's a nice problem to have, I have to say. Friends with money and pinball machines. It wouldn't be a secret if they told you. Yeah, buddy. You don't have no secret. Don't trace our IP.
63:20
You'll never find us. We're in a warehouse underneath Willis Tower. Downtown Chicago. Oh, you creep. That was a close one. Wow. That was a creepy one. Can you get the tail out? Holy.
63:47
I shouldn't have shot at that. I should have just let it bounce. I had that thing on two legs. I didn't think you could actually move it. Holy crap. You can't move it. You just sort of pick it up. That one's crazy.
64:03
What do we shoot? Pinball related movies? No, this is actually an animation studio. I started this studio about three and a half, four years ago. and pinball. We had a pinball machine in here before the construction was even done.
64:27
Just to hurt feelings, I guess. There you go. And he lights up jam. That's a two-ball multi-ball, folks, and he's probably going to use the cannon to hit the bell.
64:41
Just like that. And now that he's in jam, his ramps are worth a lot of money. And he's also rocking TNT. Oh, no, back in black. Which are the bank of targets on the left.
64:56
Yeah. Oh, baby. Oh, God. You know what? I applaud you for not using your VIPs, because I feel you knew you didn't hit enough shots. Yeah, I was rather aware of myself.
65:22
That's a post-pass right there. Where he's like cranking it. Watch. He might do it again. There it is. That's a post-pass. All right, he's got album lit.
65:32
And it looks like he... Oh, okay, there you go. See, right here. We call a multi-ball song change around here.
65:44
No, still for you, I am the owner of this operation here. Oh, man, you're just ringing the bell. Shut up, Steve.
66:15
I see you all the time. You're not going to yell at me. Does he use his deep, gravelly voice? Yeah. His Shale Con voice?
66:32
When you're working on a job, does he tell you to finish it with like a Mortal Kombat style swagger.
66:38
Yeah, that's what he said about Star Trek. All right. What do I do? Star Trek poster. Yeah. Wish I worked for someone like you. Get over here.
66:56
We do work sometimes. It's not all pinball and drinking. It's mostly pinball and drinking. No, you have to say love you louder.
67:10
All right, three million going into ball three is probably the worst thing. Oh, you got a million. Well, almost two. I'm glad you're over that. I'm like, it's a total right now. Probably. Probably, yeah, probably. It wasn't a definite. There was no one and zero there. Jack showed up and I was like, I'm... Call for the break. Well, if I can get this freaking... Oh, if you tilt right now, I swear to Pep, I will destroy you. Pep! Pep! Pep!
67:43
Well, that is not how you score big on this machine. Score big. Score big or score home? Score... Oh, I'll just drink Shakespeare.
67:56
I did... Oh. I did... Eh, whatever. Jack Benson player three back in black that's all he ever wanted pray to pep is that a bathroom thing pray to pep yeah brother if I knew you were coming earlier I would have built you a little shout out card here oh yeah Oh, yeah. It's just your IP already.
68:36
Oh, no, no. Dude, I'm pretty sure betting on pinball would be awesome. Betting on building your super group of pinball players? You know it. Yep. Bowen would be on my team's bow show. Dude, after an expo, I think Jory and Danielle are getting it. Yeah. Those are the three.
69:00
They can just play for frill-up in hours, man. It's out of control. There you go. Nice little creep.
69:11
A lot of people complaining about timing out modes on Star Trek. Oh, yeah. I've been hit a little bit. Yeah. Only one.
69:19
Solid shove. All the candy. Now, do you know, I've got one shot left without a jam on my ring. Yeah. I think. Two. Yeah. If I had one, and I shot the right ring. Yeah. Like, it's not lit yet. The next one's going to light it. Would it give it to me, or would I have to shoot it again? You'd have to shoot it again, yeah.
69:41
The activation of the multi-ball has to be its own shot. Got it. He didn't work on ACDC. You worked on Star Trek.
69:57
Did you work on The Walking Dead? Oh, of course. You'll get there. Metallica. Oh, you were not? Really?
70:11
Mustang, for sure. Yes. I met Jack Benson on a Metallica machine. That sounds really weird. You were both standing on a Metallica machine. He was playing, and he was blowing it up, and there was just blood. Nice freaking save, dude. That was great.
70:29
Hail, Bale. Oh, the old up and over. Totally. Here comes that feed everyone loves. Oh, not bad.
70:53
Or the outlaying, yeah. Dude, that jam will be the band up there jamming. They're jamming so hard. Crystal said she's never seen that thing rocking out before.
71:10
When the dude's kicking his leg out, that's probably the best toy I've seen. It's so good. Nice drop kick. It's all juggling at this point.
71:38
Ah, not enough. Not enough. Oh, baby, he's calling shots. This is like some... Oh, that would have been sexy.
72:07
Cycle that stuff. Well, it's five million for something. Oh, baby. That sound change. You know, for as long as we've owned this, we've never done encore on this machine. Dude, it's so hard to do. We can't figure it out. It's so hard to do. Well, I guess it's not a figuring out. We just can't achieve it.
72:42
We even lowered the settings to get through the songs, and we still couldn't work our way through it. But, of course, we do keep the game on ridiculously hard. Yeah, you can drop it to like five.
73:02
Right. You can drop it down to five. Crystal. You don't need a bell. So, Jack Benson gets two points. That puts him at three. Jack Danger gets one point. That puts him at three. Crystal, this is it. This is like your swan song. This is your Cinderella story. It's coming back time here. All right, Jack, you start us off, buddy.
73:34
Kill it. What should I pick? I would recommend you, what were you picking? I was picking Thunderstruck. I did Rock and Roll Train, I did Thunderstruck, and I did TNG, which was a mistake. Um, you should try shook me all night long. Okay.
73:53
And do everything you can to shoot those orbits or loops to get it back up to the top bumpers. Tense, you own Metallica and never got to end of the line. We haven't had our Metallica too long, so we have not gotten that.
74:08
Yeah. I still haven't gotten to Kobayashi Maru on. What? You could. Kobayashi is easy. I know. for oh shit no I didn't see that Trent Augustine he owns Tilt Amusement he sells pinball machines he sells parts to pinball machines He sells all sorts of pinball fun stuff.
74:51
He's always wearing a hat. He likes his hat. Oh, baby. Oh, brother. Rough housing. Here we go. A whole lot of rows. Are we still on camera? I saw a guy with a trick that said, if you're not tilting, you're not trying.
75:21
I live by those words. If you're not tilting, you're not trying. Moving the camera is a lot easier than moving the game. There we go.
75:29
Hell's Bells, Trudy. Yeah, how's that going? Do you practice with your team still? No.
75:40
No. That makes sense. Alright, folks, I'm going to go for my ramps to get jam lit. Let's see how well this works out. Alright, I shouldn't have spoke, because I immediately drained.
75:58
Yo, Super Panda, thanks for coming back. Hey! Okay, as for J.D.'s suggestion... Were you written about in Pinball Magazine? Me? Yeah. I don't know. So this gentleman, Ten Spence, says that he might have read about you. Do you have a pet, brother? I think I read about him. I'm going to do a little conveyance of you.
76:24
Maybe. Yeah, I wonder. You, I mean, depending on how long ago, you were a recent hire of Stern for like a year? Yeah, exactly a year, like yesterday or something. I got hired on the 21st. So a year and three days. A year and three days. working at the Stern. Oh yeah, folks. Jack works at Stern. Jack Benson here.
76:49
He's a programmer. Coder. What do you prefer? Information technician. Going down. Be rich, you. You ooze, you lose.
77:25
All day, baby. Ah, mad jelly, yo. They all hate me. Thanks for coming. Tense says he thinks he saw you on like Stern's Facebook page or something That very well could be Alright mama let's go Okay Let's try to put up Tense fence Yeah Tense has been watching the show for a little bit the past couple episodes. Oh, there we go.
78:09
That was my first ramp. Give me a break. Why every time? I love you. I wax you. Why are you doing this to me?
78:25
I rarely make it to crank it up. Crank it up. Dude, he's got troll face. He never makes it to crank it up. Troll face. Peter never makes it to crank it up. It always makes it.
78:37
But I suck. I don't know. That Kappa face makes me think that you're lying to me, brother. Crystal. Listen. I feel this. You're going to knock it out of the park on ball. Yeah. No more candy.
78:55
You're freaking out right now. I love it. I'm all right now. Do it. Folks, thanks again for coming. Down below is the link to Extra Life. If you folks want to donate, we're currently streaming to their channel.
79:10
Help some sick kids out. Be awesome. Thank you. Thanks for watching. My friends are going to be there, too.
79:30
Come on, Steve. That's always... Oh, man. Yeah. Nice backhand. Right in the jam, folks. Right in the jam.
79:50
Why is that happening? It happens sometimes, and the worst part is that doesn't do it on the idea. Oh, farts. Well, that's funny. I haven't seen that happen on this machine before. I know that it happens, and it was happening at Logan.
80:08
Yeah, Tense, thanks for watching. Anything we can do to help people understand pinball a little better, that's pretty much all we're trying to achieve here. Wow, wow, wow. Oh, farts. Wait, why'd the flipper stop working?
80:21
I saw Jax hold the plug. Sorry, bud, you're done. All right. All I got to do is hit stuff. That's all I'm not doing. Yeah, I can see the replay. As I reach under and rip the plug out. Oh, my God. That was a terrible duck. Yeah. No, it's good for you. If you've got any questions on Mustang, shoot them out. That was me at the Papa Expo. Oh, that's right. They were talking to you a little bit for Mustang when they were playing that in the finals. Right. Dude, I was so nervous talking to you. Oh, my God. I'm going to be playing for the legend. I'm serious. Honestly, all you have to look at Bowen, like, is he's the guy that writes textbooks, map textbooks, and he's been on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Is that really him? Yeah. I did not know that. I am playing, like, donk right now. You know what? Okay, let me take that back. If that's not him, holy shit. That looks just like him. Yeah, I don't know.
81:25
You definitely... That is probably the sexiest photo ever taken in the studio. I like it. By the way, this glass is not frosted. I just never took the sticker off of the glass. Okay. It's the most. Oh, yeah, it is the most. It's bad. Crap, that's rad. That's really sweet. I'll give you a sour one. It'd be really sweet if you were playing Twilight Zone. Oh, baby. Like, no worry. Yep. Oh, yeah.
81:52
But that's still pretty awesome. Anyone know exactly what happens in End of the Line? I know how to get there, but not what happens.
82:04
I have absolutely no idea. I can give an explanation of the theme. I know that, like, some dude, well, at least what John Borden was explaining to me, is some guy's, like, riding a car or a motorcycle, and there's a bunch of, like, a series of jumps that he's jumping over on the highway. With the car, sure. Yeah. and those are your jackpots or whatever you're making to make it jump or is it timed and you need to make the jump or I'm not the right person to ask fair enough Crystal calm down I do know the mysterious rule of crank it up being no no no not crank it up I was going to say there's a secret crank it up no no it's seek and destroy Oh, just finishing all your shots. No, they don't unwind. What do you mean they don't unwind? So, like, you finish all your shots and you start cranking up more. No, I mean you light up all your shots to get to Seek and Destroy. Yeah, I keep saying to crank it up, man. Seek and Destroy, but then in Seek and Destroy, there's like a strategy. Oh, really? Yeah. Huh, that I did not know. You left a multiball on the table.
83:21
Crystal light. All right. Benson pulls ahead. Perform once. Wait, did you beat me? No, Crystal. I got six. You got seven. Oh, okay. I don't freaking know.
83:42
Too much candy. Yeah, okay. Cool. Stop eating candy. All right. So, folks, we're playing to seven points. If Jack wins this, he wins. Jack Benson. If I win this, we have one more game to play. If Crystal wins, we'll figure it the fuck out. I don't know. Charity, right? Yeah. I don't know about that Seek and Destroy. You didn't know about Seek and Destroy. So if you light up all your shots where you get your grave marker, your snake, and your sparky shot, and then you collect it to solidify that shot and do that to all your shots, that starts a mode called Seek and Destroy. Now, a little thing on that, a detail. The last shot that you made on that Metallica always blinks that red arrow, and that's where you'll be collecting those icons. So, like, let's say the left arrow is on the left ramp and you've got the snake lit and you shoot the snake shot. Well, you've already got the snake icon there, so it won't give you the icon. But if you've got, like, the electric chair switch lit on the left ramp and, or unlit, I'm sorry, and you shoot the electric chair, it's now solid there. And then what Jack was saying about collecting all the items. Yep. Yeah, it works out pretty well. Once you get in the Seek and Destroy, a bunch of solid shots and one blinky shot. The solid shots, you're currently in, like, the state of Seek when you start it. If you shoot the blinky shot, you get into destroy mode. But the idea is that you want to shoot a bunch of solid shots to increase your jackpots into destroy mode. so like they'll each one will increase the jackpots at the next so if you're in seek mode and you shoot a bunch of solid shots and you wait to start destroy before you go into destroy mode oh so you shoot the solid shots a whole bunch and then shoot the blinky shot oh avoid it you stay away from it but that's the risk reward there because if you drain and don't start the destroy mode should be able to get over 300 million on seeking holy fart that's what he said i'm not sure who that is. Is that the litmus test? You're like, I think. Yes, Keith, that one can get 300 million.
85:47
Yeah, that's how we made Star Trek. Alright, Jack, start us off, brother. Good luck, man. Solid button blinking. Good stuff. Thanks for the explanation. We'll try that now. Good luck.
86:03
Rules on Metallica are so deep and awesome. They are pretty rad. Nothing will ever be as deep as ACDC, I think.
86:12
Also, ACDC changes a lot, too, which makes it pretty fun. That's funny. He sets fire, too, pretty much when you should be shooting the bell.
86:31
Yeah. Well, actually, don't trust that as you're shooting. Don't trust that. I'll try. That was just an observation. Just listen to Steve. Yeah. Don't listen to Steve.
86:41
He's just going to swear at you. Welcome to hell. A lot of Rosie. A little spin on that. Yeah, folks, we put some white rubbers on these slingshots, and they are punishing this game right now.
87:08
Yeah, Metallica can be rough on those drains. There's also, like, the left out lane just seems like an impossibility. When it hits that little divider and bounces out, it doesn't seem like it should happen. But it happens a lot more than it should. I'm not warmed up to Metallica at all. Oh, baby, you'll get there.
87:30
All right, Super Panda, thanks for coming. Is Twilight Zone deeper than ACDC? Uh, there's, you know, I guess deeper isn't really the comparison.
87:48
I guess it's just stuff to do. They have more toys, more slippers. Drane them while the ball stays on.
88:12
Wow. He has a juice box ready. Oh, his juice box is lit. Oh, God. Your juice box. The juice box and the champagne. The champagne.
88:25
And sandwich with the juice box. Juice box and the champagne. All right. Dial. Here we go. You guys are doing it so easy, man. I haven't done shit. But I'll take it.
88:54
Masterfully done. Yep. He just saved a double drain from nothing draining. He's got his two ex-Roman folks while he's in jam multi-ball.
89:14
And he uses his VIPs to bring it all back to life. This is 22 million if you make it, folks. Holy crap. That's it. 2X jackpot.
89:45
Good grief. Good gravy. Hell no. Hell no, Trudy. I love it Wow that is confusing looking I love it Beep boom bing Wow that is confusing looking I love it
90:05
Oh, my goodness. Well, it's a good thing you got that jackpot before you jumped in. I'm going to go in a corner and crash. Holy crap. 59. Good job, buddy. That would have been a hell of a lot bigger for sure.
90:20
That's a lot of money. Oh, the old tear wipe away. Oh. Alright, let's see. Sparts, that was good. Yeah, the Twilight Zone to ACDC. I wonder. I was thinking about, like, a... You have, like, trees in sort of, like, the computer science sense. And there's, like, different paths you can take. It's like if you're walking down a path and there's a bunch of forks in the road. I think like Twilight Zone there's only two forks right at each intersection right there's only two ways that you can go but it goes a really long way yeah it goes miles right yeah Lord of the Rings great example ACDC it's like every single time you get up to an intersection there's like six different an immediate diversion yeah like you gotta figure it out so many ways to go it's not as deep necessarily but it's more complex yeah what are the branches in Lord of the Rings cause every time I play oh god that's There's, like, modes for days on that game. Lord of the Rings is, like, there's the Elve Rings. That's all that matters, really, if you're starting out. Even I don't worry about dwarves and men. Two rings of men. I love that game. We used to have one of those here for a while, and we got rid of it. And the only reason, I guess, one of the reasons we got rid of it was you, take a break from working and come play pinball for like 20 minutes and bounce. 20 minutes is like halfway through ball one.
91:57
There's no draining on that game. To Ted Spence's point, I think that ACDC is more complex than Twilight Zone.
92:05
It's actually equally deep as well. Encore is just as deep, if not deeper into the game. Than Lost in the Zone? I think Twilight Zone's got some really unique modes and stuff within it. Star Trek... Yeah, he said Star Trek The Next Generation is really complicated too.
92:28
Alright, I'm going to get into this. Let's kill this stuff. We'll chat about pinball philosophy here again in the second book.
92:45
There's a tail! Oh, the tail! Steve Richie, everybody. Big shout out. What a champion. I moved that because I wanted to. He waited for a while, and then he figured out what he needed to do, and it wasn't so bad. We're talking about when you played, was it For Those About to Rock? Oh, when, okay, so we let the stream decide what mode we were going to play, and someone said For Those About to Rock, and I was like, fuck that mode, man, because that cannon just wants to mess you so bad. And, like, after I played it for a minute and I was actually, like, getting the feel of it, I was like, oh, I'll just use this to hit the cannon all day and then get a multiball and then just keep hitting the freaking bell. Like, cannon to bell, cannon to bell, the whole thing. Don't even worry about those damn targets on the left. Just those are just free bell hits. It worked out pretty well.
93:41
I'm going to grab another beer. You good? I'm good. All right. Crystal, flight. All right. Okay. Walk into the fridge for another root beer. Root beer, folks.
94:00
We wouldn't be drinking on stream. All right, and we're back. I guess it's still free for one thing, so I guess it doesn't really work. ACDC.
94:21
Complications. For your health. My core. My first one was my core, so. Sweet. That is sweet. Oh, are we going to order a Frisa? Sweet Berry Wine. I can't believe it's Frisa. Sweet Berry Wine.
94:39
Oh, he's got that backhand dialed in. I said a little too soon. There you go. Good forehand. It's gone. Oh, God. Yep. Damn white rollers, though.
94:54
That was sexy. Little scoop. Little scoop scoop. Bong. Woo. Come on. Live. the old half ramp I'm not the one to just bang your head to this game it's incredible oh no half ramping that ramp is never savable this is me right dude Crystal's got a leap score I do have a leap score holy crap Not bad, buddy. Not bad. 1-3-3-7, baby.
95:49
All right. Clean. I love you. Thank you. Pwned PWN. I think people still say that, but when they're being, like, nostalgic about being a shithead.
96:04
Like, I just pwned you. Oh, my God. I cannot play pinball tonight. I just got pwned. Pwnin' noobs all the time. I just do. Pwnin' noobs. Bringing it back.
96:20
I think he used the term nerfed when I was explaining them turning down the old highway to hell. Yeah. That's definitely a nerf.
96:30
That is potentially happening. Holy crap, that was sexy. Just pwn. Yeah. Super ranch too. Yeah. Like, he pwned that. Kidaman, thanks for coming.
96:44
Thanks for watching. We're streaming first in Sick Kids, so donate if you can. But we do do this every day, Monday through Friday, 5 p.m. Central. Come check it out. Next week, we're going to be streaming Dark Knight Batman. The year of which I cannot recall its release. Software by Lime and Feast. Designed by George Gomez. Okay, Gomez.
97:10
That would be you, brother. Take it home. No one likes the last sip of beer. I mean root beer. Root beer.
97:26
So does drink. Miller Lite root beer. Tastes like water. Root beer. It's blueberry worms. That's bad. Mark. Oh, shit. If you're not tilting, you're not playing. Yeah, that's right. You're not first, you're last.
97:46
You're not first, you're last. All right. I need 63 million points. Are you doing Thunderstruck too? I am doing Thunderstruck, and I'm not sure why I chose that. So let's go.
98:01
Just be careful clicking on those, brother. There you go. And make sure you click it again. Oh, you're the man.
98:10
Oh, yeah, I give you the props. You have to click dissolve one more time. Yeah. Jack can twist, though.
98:26
Uh, you know, thanks, buddy. A hundred times. If you're going to run the show, you've got to do it right.
98:46
Jam witch. So we have a jam witch going on. Oh, come on. I just wanted. The magic. My man. That was so freaking beautiful. I can't even handle it. I can't even think right now. That was so good. So good, it's making me take terrible shots.
99:16
Holy crap, that felt good. Woo! Sharks, that felt incredible. Thanks. What was it you I felt, Wayne?
99:32
Thanks, buddy. Thanks for nothing. All right, you need to beat Jack or Jack wins. Oh, no. All right. Come on, Crystal. You don't have any points. You got this, buddy.
99:47
Whip. No more doinking around. I mean, no more doinking around. No more doinking around. Oh, there you go, darling. I saw someone use the brim of their hat to hit the that was pretty incredible I've used my nose a couple times on ACDC to get my freaking cannon shot when I have two balls cradled on each side, just sort of gauge when it's going to hit.
100:33
That's fantastic. I had the most epic fail on the interview. It was amazing to set up, and then I completely messed it up. So I had an album multiball going, and I got all the way to the end of album multiball, and the entire time I had the super lanes lit, which is your next shot is going to be... There you go, buddy. No one's touched Rosie.
100:59
Yeah, I don't want to. Wow, Jack. Congrats. So I had super lanes lit the whole time, and I never took it. Like, I moved the ball away from the lane. Right. I got the super jackpot lit, okay? I'm out of multi-balls. I then shot it up the ramp with a left flipper while I shot the left in lane. Whoa, no shit. And then I shot the target, but the super jackpot's on the bell. So I got like 200,000 off of the most amazing maneuver. It was pretty much an epic fail. On purpose, shatting a ball is the most incredible thing to watch. It's an in-lane pass. So what you're doing is... Let's pull it up. Let's see if somebody can do it. Let's say if you need to hit that lane target right there, and the ball's over here, you have it cradled. What you do is you let it roll down the flipper to where it's practically just in the freaking drain. And then you flip it, and it just rolls up the in-lane there. And it is so freaking tough to do. It's out of control.
102:03
Let's play one more game. We'll practice our shatsing. How about it? Go ahead. Here. Jack, why don't you show us some shats maneuvers here. These are in-lane passes we're going to try to practice here, folks. No, those are sharks.
102:23
Shartsing and chatsing are two different things. Meal shafts. That's the most, that was the most lightning outline I have ever seen.
102:36
All right. Mode doesn't really matter. Let's just see what we can get here. We'll count the shafts. All right. Let's see if we can get it on the fly. Nope.
102:47
Oh, God, it's freaking scary, I have to say. All right, here we go. So when I flip, it's going to change the lane so that isn't lit anymore, and hopefully I'm going to roll up that R. Are you ready? This sucks.
103:05
Oh, look at that. First try. All right. I hope you folks saw that. Okay. So, now I'm going to light the eye on fire going in the other direction. Here we go. Oh, frick.
103:25
Yeah, it's not easy, and honestly, it's the scariest thing you'll ever do in pinball on purpose. Because you're essentially just draining. Yeah, it's terrifying. It's a lot easier on games with like older style flippers and stuff, like old EMs and stuff like that. You can sketch really well. Oh, hell yeah.
103:51
I don't like this game. Well, guess what? Today's the last day of ACDC. I love it. There we go. I'm working on Oom Shats right now. Oh, no. Yeah. That was a shark.
104:11
Here we go, folks. Let's get some more in-lane passes going here. Never mind. No, that wasn't a shark. No. That was just... That was slow eyes, not responding well.
104:33
Get a hold of that ball, darling. Chatsing. Chatsing? It's Chatsing, not Chartsing. We got one. Yeah, we've achieved one. And honestly, that's all you can ever ask for. We're one for one.
104:51
We weren't trying to win. No, we were just... I was trying a different technique. I was trying to... All right, here we go. So we play one ball?
105:03
Chatsing. You know what? Let's just play one ball right now. We'll do some math later. It's 1-2-2. Wasn't me.
105:20
Playing a solid one ball game here, folks. Ah! Scar hurts. Yeah! So, hitting that Tron target to the drain. replay here. Here it comes. I'm going to check the replay. Oh, painful. Yes, that's what I'm going to do. Painful. Well, I'm probably not going to do any better. Here we go. Nope.
105:54
Half ramp to the drain. Yo, look at those twos and threes, man. When the replay's at $74 million. Crystal is powdering her nose, so she will be back in just a minute, folks.
106:15
Who out there is familiar with Dark Knight Batman Pinball Machine by Stern? Because we're going to be playing that all next week. Our friend Gavin dropped it off a couple days ago. Can I put up a challenge for you guys? Yeah, what's that? All right. So on Dark Knight, you can get a billion points off of one shot. Oh, the Batmobile shot. What challenge do you got for that? Oh, of course. We'll try, for sure. It's like 35 shots. Yeah. No big deal. 35 in a row, really tight, on the fly, through a bunch of shit shots. No, don't do it on the fly. Don't do it on the fly. You don't? You could catch it and send it on its way? No, just a live catch. Yeah, no big deal. Just 35 live catches.
106:55
Bowen did like 500 million in the World Cup. He did something like that. Dude, that guy is a machine. That's amazing, dude. Uh, the bad thing about this machine is it's a prototype. Oh. So, they released this game to be put out to sort of battle test it out in the field, so the loop here is not properly aligned for the saucer in the back. Yep. So, you have to shake it.
107:24
That's why no one ever, ever, ever made that freaking shot, because it is not made for that shot. The one thing we see in our arcade at Stern, the suit is half the size. It's like the size of a ball. Why?
107:39
It's three. I think we made it like one out of 30. Then we decided that it's a little hard. Yeah, no kidding. Especially for the most art. All right, you have a great opportunity here to beat us all. This is an all-or-nothing one ball. Crystal takes it. Just keep the freaking thing alive.
108:04
Alright, hold on. You needed more points. I was helping you. I know, but I can't. B over three. Fuck yeah, dude.
108:15
Doubled our freaking scores. Well, let's say we play one more game for shits and giggles and we'll call it. Alright. Yeah? Do the thing where we don't gamble and we put a thing to cover up the target?
108:29
I try not to put any money on the stream because gambling does not happen to pinball folks. That is illegal. Game of skill. Here's what we will do. Game of skill. We choose each other's modes at random. Okay. All right? So you just start flipping and someone else hits the launch button for you. You just play it. All right. You ready? Yep. Do it. You go first. I select first? No, you play first. Yeah. Yeah? Yeah. You're not hitting the flipper. You're hitting this thing. Oh. Hold tight. Is that fair? What do you mean?
109:02
No, because I'm doing this. Look at me. Beautiful. This is how I got that rock song that screwed me so freaking hard. Get up the fucking ramp.
109:31
Really? Really? Thanks. Thanks, Mom. Thanks, Mom, for nothing. JD double-daisy. Kill him.
109:45
All right, we got to hit all the targets, and then start the roving target. Oh, man. What are you saying right now? ACDC is the jam.
110:26
Wham, wham. Yeah, I'm in a rockin' band. Oh. Thunder. And then the next time you need Snickers. Is it a really morbid, fuzzy, funny thing? Go for it, Crystal. It sounds like an incredible drinking game. Oh, yeah. Well, you know it's Snickers, though. I guess you could melt it in here. Oh, no.
111:09
Drinking solid peanuts with a bunch of gooey nougat? Oh, yeah. That's why you say it like that. It sounds a lot worse. Yeah. Did she pick a rancid mode, by the way? Oh, we can do that. What is she doing? What I can answer? I'll give it to her. It's more of a shartzer if you ask me.
111:30
There you go. I mean, fantasy. Maybe not. Yes, please. Whoa, dude. Those white ruffers should not be on any machine for slingshots. because it just wants to shoot the freaking ball into the air. Dude, it's very sensitive.
111:52
Why are you so sensitive, bro? Yeah, why are you so sensitive? We're on our way to train. I now know that this is the last song out of their, like, what is it, Glinger? We have, hold on, we have their discography printed here somewhere. Dude, it's your first album. Well, it's around here somewhere. I don't know where it's at.
112:22
We printed it out specifically for trying to figure out how to blow this damn thing up. I had two at once, and I had to... German swearing. My favorite is... Yeah!
112:39
That seems to be a... We're on the highway to heck. We're on the highway to heck, folks. No swearing on the stream.
112:49
Arshkazee. Oh, no. Yeah, just make that money. Yeah, apparently. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Alright. That sounds fair to me.
113:18
Oh baby, four and a half. Connected. My favorite pinball player's pimp is the, uh, is it, uh, is it Taylor? The counterpound? Yeah. Oh, man, yeah. Just get... You have to have old man pants on.
113:46
It looks beautiful, though. But linemen's is more like this leg over here that is your back leg is like way the frick over here.
113:59
Yeah. Dude, I can feel the power right now. Can you? I can feel the power in this. That's just the blood not getting anywhere in your body. Does Conrad play with that deck? Does he? I can see the power. I thought Conrad was like a stiff pinball player. You've got to have like some really good shoes. Yeah. I'm sure they're wearing those like sexy black knee braces. You know where I kneel in the next one? Last time I was like, oh. High heels. All right, I'm up. Oh, it's you. Pardon me, buddy.
114:31
Dude, these are so great. We buy these whenever we go to Expo, just, like, in bulk. Oh, yeah, for sure.
114:37
Do you think Roger and Lyman buy special shoes for their stands? They have, like, special orthopedics that are, like, fat on the front so they can, like, rest on it when they're... Because when I see Lyman play, he's like this. He's all over me. Roger is just, like, he's a straight shooter. He's got his, like, awesome fanny pack full of, like, hand sanitizer and, like, a little bottle of water in there. Yeah.
115:04
He also has, like, a little towel that he wipes his hands off on and uses it to wipe down the machine.
115:16
Yeah, buddy. Please then take it on a one-way ride Welcome to hell Thanks, Steve Ritchie Who can't though? He's the man responsible for pinball still being around.
116:16
Nope. It's like, oh, boxing was illegal for 40 years, and then this guy came along. No. Yeah, right? It's like, I bet you can't punch me hard enough to prove that this could be legal again.
116:33
Give me a freaking break. A freaking judge, man. That's not early. You know, you play for yourself or you play for the points. I don't know.
117:03
Yeah, that's your Hell's Bells hell mode. Yeah. It is not an easy shot to make. Actually, it's an impossible shot to make on purpose.
117:19
I'm not going to claim that I made that on purpose. Unless you shafted it. You know, if you shafted it.
117:30
For shafting? Oh, yeah, just sitting down in there, watching it swing. Everybody out. Everybody out of the pool.
117:49
Oh, to have stripped me all that long right now. All right, guys. Calm down, please. I almost had another last... You know what? I think it's the white rubber making... Oh, my... Fuck! Fuck you! For the children. Don't swear. Don't get angry.
118:14
