That looks like it almost... What is it? Yes, that's right people. We've got movie sign. What's up everybody, MPT3K back again playing a new game. Attempting to make the garage not look like a murder house. So I've added... and also not just not look like a murder house but my neighbor lives upstairs right above and our insulation is terrible. So I've added some acoustic panel up top. This is some acoustic panel back here and my nice design. Look at that design. wow it looks amazing i just had a bunch of acoustic panel left over and some sound dampening so that hopefully and now she doesn't mind she's like i like to hear when you play pinball it's really cool and i'm like yes and i want you to continue to like it so i'm going to make it less um but i'm pretty excited today so ghostbusters is gone i love ghostbusters if i could own a machine and i know people kind of hate on ghostbusters because of flipper gap and all stuff but ghostbusters is one of my favorite movies and the the pinball machine is just amazing it's awesome but that being said there's another pinball machine i wanted to attack and get like home for a little bit of time so i can play it and that's speederman that's what we're playing right now we're playing speederman speederman from 2005 oh crap my dang it my twitch information is wrong this is not dr who this is spider man stern i did that again 2007 and we're gonna say um spidey sense is tingling i failed again update Yeah, I need a checklist. I definitely need a checklist when I do these things. So anyway, I don't care. I'm not restarting the stream. If you're on YouTube, you didn't care about that whole thing I just did. But we're playing Spider-Man. Spider-Man's cool. 2005, I've always enjoyed this game. It has a fond, I have fond memories of it. I remember the old Metreon Theater. No, the Metreon is still there. But up near the movie theater, there were these pinball machines run by a certain company that will remain nameless, but operated on by a really cool pinball operator here in the San Francisco area, TJ, TJ Byer. You might know him if you're from the West Coast. They have a ton of games. TJ had, he was the operator for the games at the Metreon, and one of the games was Spider-Man, I remember. So I would take my lunch time and just dump quarters into this thing and play it like crazy. And this was one of the first games that I actually started to understand what the rules are. I mean, one of the first of maybe, you know, ten games that I was like, okay, I think I understand the rules. I think I understand what's going on. You have to shoot the white arrows. You have to shoot this and that. And what's cool is, so TJ is awesome, and he maintained that place. They've since removed pinball machines altogether from the Metreon. but I think it's for the better because the pinball machines now moved into the places that actually love pinball and not the places that were just like we're gonna make money and when they decided they didn't make money they were like screw you we're out um spider-man's cool like I said it's from 2007 um this is when stern started really cranking out some some some pretty I would say deep rules but pretty interesting rules one thing about spider-man is that um it can get kind of it could play pretty long um and if you are a tournament player you know basically what to do like my kid is 10 years old figured out what to do within like a couple of hours playing this he goes oh dad doc ock and multiball and i'm like yeah that's pretty much it if you want to get a big score on this you basically do doc ock and multiball and you go for that. But there's a bunch of other things, right? So there's the white arrows that light your modes, right? Rescue MJ, New Goblin, Daily Bugle, and Bonesaw. And if you can clear all the white arrows, you shoot up to the top and you start a mode. There's also the villains, which is the Green Goblin, the Sandman, the Venom, and Doc Ock. You shoot those a bunch of times, you progress. There's a battle royale. Royale with cheese. There's a battle royale that is a kind of a mini wizard mode. And then there's, I think it's called superhero or something like that, which is the main wizard mode, which I've never gotten to when you defeat everything in the game. One thing I did learn from watching another Bowen Keren's video was that once you clear all the white arrows um the next white arrow shot you make will be i think doubled for the rest of that ball so that could be huge like if you hit the spinner if this is the last white arrow you clear and then you start hitting a spinner a ton of times it's like huge value um what else about this game spider sense i never really understood what that did someone told me yesterday and i forgot promptly there is one issue with this game is the dock it's kind of raised from the play field, so it's actually a bump now. So if you hit it with the left flipper, it might jump over the opto and won't trigger that. Most of the time you want to safe shoot that from, you want to backhand it from the right flipper. But I'm going to shoot for it every once in a while and hope for the best. The Venom shot. Oh, also, some of the best, some people hate the Jonah Jameson call-outs. I love the Jonah Jameson call-outs in this because it was the first time I felt like a pinball machine was actually talking to me um outside of Steve Ritchie just yelling at you um what else you're up i know i'm up thank you see now he's annoying already um venom depending on what machine you play can be really tough this shot here i have this cranked up a little bit because it was kind of shallow so i cranked the i want to play hard um so this shot could be tricky for me tonight and there's a post here. The rubber has been removed from the post. And that's because this game has seen tournament play at City Champ at Free Gold Watch. Those rubbers just, they just, I don't even know where the rubber is anymore. It's gone. So I'm going to play with a metal pipe sticking in between the flippers. But compared to Ghostbusters, this is terrific. All right. There's a little bit of a... Wow, that was a hell of a flipper flip. A flipper... Now, I haven't hit any switches yet, so I could easily just do that, get the ball back and try again. Notice the color DMD bling, which is awesome, and the speakers, the speaker grill with the RGB color, which is pretty cool. So there are people who say don't waste your time with the super skill shot. And I'll show you what the super skill shot is. If you short plunge and then hit Venom, that's a super skill shot. I've always found it to be... I'm going to chat for the first three balls. That's fine. I've always found the super skill to be nice because if you can do it a couple times, you get triple, double, and triple bonus automatically. So I would sit there all day doing this just to see if I can... Plus you get a venom shot. See, I haven't dialed it in yet. I haven't dialed it in yet. Jonah Jameson target lights locks. It seems to get harder the more times you hit it. I've already got a lock lit. shooting the orbits gets you that gives you that lock. Okay, Doc R. What up, sheep? Voila! There is a super skill shot, yeah. I mean, you can't really call it super. You can't really call it super. You can call it a little harder. But it's not really super. So there's that. All right. So I'll try and do it right now. I think you immediately get bonus, though, which is nice. What's up? Manu 2020, it gets harder the more you hit it. What's up, DPF? How's it look? Have I hit any switches? Damn it, I hit a switch Alright, let's start again What's up DPF, how does it look? I mean, so So, I spent I'm getting, oh my god I'm getting reflections of my T-shirt and the DMD That's not good I should change the Orientation, that's alright Just a little distracting I spent all day yesterday just cleaning this guy. George, this guy right here, this ambient light, it just was broken off. And it wasn't broken, actually, so I just put it back on. And I am still going to glue a couple of Doc Ock's arms back on because the arms fell off. Or I'm sure a pinball knocked it off. There we go. Skill shot. 500,000. um ah crap wow that was a perfect shot to a metal to a metal bar ah my body is so used to the um the Ghostbusters shot that I can't do this shot now So I need an HDR video camera now. Are you... Are you... Are you serious? Are you serious, George? You seriously want an HDR? Are you being paid for all the work you're doing on the game? Uh... No. Um... Again, so trusting. Yeah, I shouldn't trust anymore. Here we go. Okay. I'm not getting paid for the work that I'm doing, Nick. You know what it is, Nick? Since I don't have access to machines, It's me just experimenting and looking at, well, how does this work? How does that work? How does this work? If I owned a machine, would I be able to fix it? Right? So I'm looking at the little bitty things. All right, we'll talk about HDR camera later. I don't mind you having a HDR camera, but, you know, we don't... Twitch doesn't render anything in HDR, but I guess other things can, so you can use it. Are you going to flip your a6400 and get a camera that does HDR? And when you get a camera that does HDR, you need a monitor that does HDR also. Because if you can't see the HDR that your camera sees, then it's... And, yeah. Alright, I guess if there's stuff happening on screen you don't really see the... Nick, I need a sound for you. I need a Sheepwalla enters the building sound. What are we going to use for you, bro? He is Venom! And he is here to ruin the day. That's two. Woo! Ugh! Damn. Hey, don't panic flip. How come your color changed? The Twitch app just, like, changed the color of your... of your screen name. Let's chat. I found out that HDR exists about... Well, remember someone asked about HDR on our on our streamcast. And I said, no HDR available on Twitch. So don't don't worry about it. So, uh, I mean, look, if you want an HDR camera, that's fine. You never said anything about you wanting it for Twitch so Yes, Nick, please, just... If you want that to be your start sound, okay, then let's do it. Scream into your mic, and I'll use it. Hey, man, we got something up on the roof! Alright, let's... I want to do my old strategy, which is to... Whoa! That's called a post-stop. But it didn't work. Here's my old strategy. Start Doc Ock, then start multiball. Did you do it, Nick? Does it sound that great? You did it already? Alright, here we go. Oh, Heartbreak Hotel. you suck yeah let's do a hey Nick let's do a screaming goat I like that idea alright I'm just getting I just started flipping this game today you want me to use a screaming goat oh just plunge always shoot for venom wow that was an airball and a half wasn't it do you know how the modes work in this game yes i do so the modes on this game oh okay that's ball too good I don't remember I don't recall who whose game this is if it's Lyman's when you start the game you have white white spiders here I'll show you a start of a game how about that this is perfect alright By the way, I'm drinking this in memoriam of Audrey, who used to be on the stream. This is her initials, AHA. So I'm drinking AHA. And this is for you guys. And George, I hate every time you do that. I hate it so much. What's up, Fliptronic? Caffeinated water. Aha. And I will play Take On Me later if you like. Okay, so here's how the modes work in this game. You have white spiders. And if you're in chat, and if this is wrong, correct me if I'm wrong, but this is how I understand it. White spiders are all lit. One, two, three, and then there's two on the orbits. clear all the white spiders to start to qualify a mode all right and one other thing i'm significantly behind again on the phone app plus 60 seconds 60 seconds oh my god wow i don't i don't think i'm that far behind 60 seconds is a lot let me see how far behind i am let's see live 1, 2, 3, bop, bop, bop, bop 1, 2, 3, bop, bop, bop, bop Yeah I think it's the phone app I think it's the phone app Bro, bro So Yeah, Nick says he's 2.2 seconds And my lag will get even less When I finish building my brand new streaming machine that I'm building. So the white arrows will allow me to qualify a mode. And I'm always... There's one. Oh, oh, it's just... Damn it. Oh, I gotta get used to this. Yeah, I'm building a streaming machine. Oh, by the way, Nick, when I decided to build a streaming machine, I went up in my closet and I was like, gee, where's that GTX 970 that I had. I wonder where that GTX 970 is. But I had another one. I actually had two. Can I hit that? No, I can't hit that from there. I had a second one, Nick, so don't worry about it. I'm never giving away all my secrets. If I can hit all the white arrows, I can start a mode. Hoo-ha! Hoo-ha! I almost wiggled it. I almost wiggled it. Okay, there's a Venom shot. Let's get these white arrows. Let's get Venom. Venom. Lock a ball. Lock a ball, lock a ball, lock a ball. So I watched TurboGrafx stream today. It's actually really cool. he's got a really good looking stream I did that with hip motion hip motion ah sucky sucky I'm out of time got it You have been defeated, brother. Get in there. It's so weird seeing shadows. I've never seen them before your GPU. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Ah, see, that's that thing that's happening on this. Right? It didn't trigger the opto. Alright, let's do a ball lock. How many balls do we have locked? Okay. Let's ball two. We want Doc Ock right now really bad. Really bad. Um. Yeah, so I'm building a streaming machine. I already showed Don't Panic Flip a little bit of it. It's going to be like this short squat cool thing. I'm going to have a handle on it. That's a post stop right there. That's how you do a post stop. I remember this Spider-Man. If we go watch, I think it's the magnet bubble. Yeah. Yeah, that magnet creates crazy air balls, dude. It's pretty insane. Get up there. Ah, crap. Give me that ball back. Alright, give me that ball back. I changed my mind about the ball I want back. What I need to do is start friggin' multiball right now. Give me my multiball, goddammit. Well, I'll take that but I need a multi-freakin'- Oh That was That sucked That was so close Both of those times Did you see it?

One has my name The has my heart With one I'll remain That's where my heartache starts Getting lucky with the Kirk stick there Yeah I know My shirt's reflecting in the DMD I was going to change the angle of the DMD I might do it a little later Right now I'm kind of enjoying it. Right now it's kind of funky. All right. Nope. I steepen this puppy up too. I mean, it's not really that steep. It's not as steep as, say, like they would do at Frugal Watch. Ta-da! Hot Cheesy Dog Deluxe. It's quick, it's delicious. Your family will love it. Cheese Whiz makes it marvelous in a minute. Was that Cheesy Whiz? What's up, Michael? How are you this evening? New machine? This is your, of course, Spider-Man. speederman table you know what you come in as caviar and yeah I think it works but I did it interesting did I did I want to start multiball I'm not sure if I wanted to Let's just send everybody Alright Oh look at that The power of the sun in the palm of my The power of the sun in the palm of your moms Oh that was a hoppy ball There's only four balls in this machine, so I have all the balls. Get up there. I wanted you to get up there like that. Damn it. Too much trust. Too much trust. Oh, shit. Oh, that's what she said. Oh, there was a ball stuck? Where did this ball come from? Hi, boys and girls, this is Mickey Mouse. Who? Oh, shit. Who else saw that ball stuck? Not me. Oh. Awkward. You rock. Yeah, regular IPA hobby ball comet. No comet. That's what she said. Wow, you had a... I had dirty pulled. Cool. Snow and Paul would be proud. Oh. And I blew. I missed Venom. Venom. I got him. Oh, snap. How many times do I have to shoot that son of a... Uh-oh. Everything! My dream is dead. Damn it. That's not the way to do it. Because there's no rubber on that freaking thing. Damn. 44. Okay. Scores are going up. That's the good part. Um. Okay. I don't know the rules. I just hit the lit shots on this one. I was asking if you knew them. Yeah. This is one I actually kind of do know the rules on. trending in the right direction thank you um and george this is the kind of game where if you just shoot the flashy shots you could you you'll do just fine it's not like you need to know deep deep deep levels of play here um um yeah so part of it is just now here's here's one thing though i do know like i said before once you clear the white arrows the next white arrow shot you make will be I think doubled. I think Nick knows. Sheepwala knows this game a little bit too. So if I can clear all the white arrows the next white arrow shot for that ball will be Oh shoot. That was a terrible flip. That last flip just cost me and you know what a mosquito freaked me i have i'm in the garage all the lights are off except for this so like every bug in the garage is like oh look madison square garden i don't want to hurt you do you really want to hurt me Let's lock it. I think you're correct about the shot multiplier. Okay. But I think it's like a... I don't know how to do a 3x, but I think it's like a 2x. Alright, so it looks like I have two more... Two more white arrows to clear. Ladies and gentlemen. I know, you picked up a bug zapper. It's also awesome. I don't know whether you were... I don't know whether you were more excited about your scores or by the fact that every time you zapped a bug, you were like, oh, kill the bug. All right. That's my last... I think I white-arrowed on Doc Ock, which is not what I wanted to do. Whoa. Did you just spam me with all that love? Did you just spam me with tons of... Yeah, I white-arrowed on Doc Ock, so he's going to be double. if I make that shot. Damn it. Please give it back. Please give it back. Oh, that's it. Okay. So, Doc Ock is now unfortunately worth a lot. And I don't want him to be worth a lot. So I'm not going to worry about him right now. I'm going to try and... Uh-oh, here it comes. Here it comes. Oh, no! No, no, no, no, no, no! Dude, that's a lot of emotes. Alright. 3x is when you have every shot 2x. Oh my god. That's insane. I will try to play better. I'm here to play. And play better I shall. No! So So, I'm sorry Since I cleared all the white arrows The next orbit shot would start the mode So I'm in MJ mode, I think Save MJ, I think. Can we update the... screen, please? Get up there. Yeah. I'm in Goblin and I'm in MJ. Okay. Fun! Only 24 hour emote unlocks? Oh, I... I... I didn't... I didn't really do the emote thing yet. I'm slowly moving through Twitch. Sorry, guys. I didn't respond because I dropped an emote bomb and walked away into the wind. And didn't react to the concussion. Wait, where's my... He just went... And it was like... From this point of view, it was wonderfully cinematic. By the way, guys, I think the TPN schedule is broken. but if you're interested um the schedule i know that the schedule is broken but here are the uh the people on tpn straight down the middle flipping out right a pinball one ipad no these are not your shortcomings george this is this is look things happen aws goes down sometimes I watched TurboGrafx and there's Don't Panic Flip down there What the Flip so I watched TurboGrafx today and his stream looks really good he was playing Alien Star I was so excited I love that game Cheapwalla you've played Alien Star right? I love that game, that game is the best it's so hard I am Spider-Man alright let's try and put some scores up let's break a hundred let's try you gotta hit that son of a bitch so many times oh thank you we're back I was forgetting to do the scene switch Two hits to Goblin Son of a bitch No Alien Star is a great brain dead game I kind of understand where you're coming from, Nick. Alien Star is the... Danger. Danger, Robinson. I got a clip. Thank you for the clip, bro. Alien Star is kind of like the dumb terminal. It's like a game that you could... Oh! It's like the game that you could play... Without thinking. but it's a bit punishing too alright so that orbit is the last orange orange white shot so it will be not useful for me in this game won't it it will be it's the last white shot and then when I collect it the next shot is going to be the doubled shot oh no no I have to do venom also gosh darn it All right. Okay, that's done. And that's done. Holy crow! You gotta be joking me. All right, next shot is doubled. If I can make the next shot, I like to make the spinner doubled, and I will also start a mode All right this is nice because now the spinner double I on Bonesaw And I want to hit the spinner because Bonesaw is all switch hits Which is nice to start in the pops. Let me do you a favor and let you start in the pops. Ugh! Ruck! Oh, it's too important a shot to miss. Let's see. Just watched Aquaman tonight. Kept waiting for William Dafoe to bust out with a goblin line. Is spinner value 2x or just the orbit value? I think... Damn. I one time I got that exactly the way I wanted it and I hit that spinner I don't even think I was in a mode I was getting ridiculous points on it so I think the spinner is um 2x but I could be wrong that's that's the thing you have to run to the the rule book for okay I think I'm I think I'm in play now because the no I'm not in play now now I'm in play Yeah. The score wasn't flashing. One, two. Three. Now those screams of passion are combos. Combos. The more combos you make, Um The more combos you make You actually gain Like a combo Score And they're actually worth A ton of points Ladies and gentlemen If you can keep woohoo And then you're in great shape Oh no There we go You know what I want to do? I want to lock. Now I'm going to rescue MJ. Any eight flashing spider arrows to finish. This is good to stack in a multiball, but I've only got one ball locked. I've got Venom running. And I have my doubler on that spinner. I think you can backhand that spinner. Okay, I just hit my 2x. 1.6. Maybe it is the orbit. Get a 5-way combo to get a Ric Flair display in the DMD. What? Really? Wow. I didn't know that. Shit. Oh. By the way, I will admit, I tighten the tilt up. I always tighten the tilt up. I have to. I'm not bringing these home to play to not get better. So I'm hoping by the time the pandemic is kind of clear and we start playing pinball at Free Go Watch again, that I can at least compete with those guys. They won't immediately think... Batman 66 is showing up in two weeks. Two weeks! Everyone in my house is excited to play Batman 66. So let's not jinx it. I don't want to jinx it by even mentioning it anymore. Oh, sucky sucky. You knew that was going to happen, right? All right, let me hit my Doc Ock. These rubbers are a little newer, so if you don't live catch super accurately, you're not live catching, basically. That's one. That was a hard one. That was nice. I'll take that. Oh, I started it, guys. So that's my multiball during during Doc Ock. So if you could work this into some lucrative multi-balling. Things are good. Ah, son of a gun. Son of a gun Two left, two left Look at that Look at that Super is Where the hell is super Right there Oh you didn't score it for me You son of a bitch Don't get angry Manu I think it's Doc Ock's super right? Where the hell is it? Got it? Got it I don't care I don't care if I drained on it I got it What's happening guys? Those standard black rubbers are super bands Super isn't the blue Are these the super bands? I don't know A real pinball person would be able to Answer that does anybody oh son of a gun can you believe i couldn't hit the freaking extra ball shot damn it super isn't the blue arrow venom shot super isn't the blue wait isn't super the blue arrow venom shot i don't know did anybody know what When I hit that Doc Ock, either I got enough points to get a replay or it was the super. I could tell you if I could see them. No worse feeling than leaving an extra ball on the table. I know, right? It's like right there. Especially an extra ball on ball three. It's like sitting right there. That's one of the easiest shots on this table. That spinner. It's so wide open. let me see yeah I don't know I don't know what these are but these are really bouncy sheepwalla so pretty sure Doc Ock is super yeah yeah Doc Ock is super for Doc Ock um I don't know if it's super for Black Suit though yeah he said super and I'm like okay what super so it was too much too much stacked right there um and I think I want to do let's see this doesn't help at all player one you're up did I just screw up a different camera I'm trying to eliminate the reflection of me in the DMD alright here we go I'm glad I got this game because this game is super and hella fun and if you can get a nice flow you can play this forever shit oh hmm now now I get to see your elbows yeah I wanted to angle it so that it's easier to read but but I failed can I can I please make 100 million on the first day I got this game that would be nice to make 100 million or actually on the first real day that I flipped this game not the first day that I got this game so I learned quickly you brick this ramp You have to nudge. If you get a nice flow, you can play this forever. Drains. If you get a nice flow, you can play this forever. Drain. Do you really wanna hurt me? Sorry, I gotta do that every time I sing, do you really wanna hurt me? Every time he says that, I don't wanna hurt you Oh well DUDES! Why can't I hit that frickin' left orbit? He could have destroyed the city. The city could have been destroyed. This is such a good day. That is an unlikely situation if you can... Alright, here we go. I'm going to fight Venom in a multiball. During multiball... Oh, Spider Sense. Spider Sense isn't lit, though. What's the easiest way to hit Spider Sense? Oh you hopping son of a bitch I think I gotta turn the flipper strength down Cause I'm Freaking hitting baseballs in this thing Okay let me catch up with you guys Oh god that is a nasty looking bug Up there on my light During multiball Spider sense under the raised flipper Shoot it And it can add a ball I can't hear that song anymore Without thinking of the wedding singer Do you want to Fuck me Now we gotta listen to some Culture Club No That was a joke I'm not listening to Culture Club Can I backhand this No Boom! Bitches Cocaine's a hell of a drug No we can't Cav is not a fan of Of Culture Club I knew that was going to happen alright it's time to where is it I'm going to jump to chat for a second take a sip this is my Friday it's 10 o'clock Pacific if you're with me thank you for joining me um what do we feel like I feel like I feel like I feel like disco you know I feel like I feel like what I feel like I feel like yacht rock what are we doing 10pm specific time uh just don't do the just don't do that walking against the wind crap Hmm.
