I'm Jack Danger and we're going to be playing Whitewater. Super fun game from 1993. 93. Williams. It's a big only use the right flipper game. And the scores on here are pretty impressive. I'm not going to lie.
    2:53
    Oh, Twitch, every Friday. Flip L, flip R. You know what we should have done was I should have, oh, you're putting weird spaces in there. That's why it's not working. Well, I'm going to switch it over and we're going to get a practice game in and I'm going to fine tune the cameras as much as I can while we're playing and then we'll be good to go. There you go. What is this place? We are currently at Emporium Logan Square. So this is the second Emporium to open in Chicago.
    3:19
    And it's at Milwaukee and Fullerton. Place is huge. It's enormous in here. There's like nine pool tables, shuffleboard bowling, bubble hockey, air hockey. It's got everything. This place only serves beer in cans. and you can get cocktails. There's no draft beer. No wine? No wine. Sorry, brah. Well, there might be wine. I don't know. There might be wine. Fancy. I like it. And yes, Dan, it is our headquarter. Oh, PCPHQ. Cute. Not for long. We're about to take this crap over, if you know what I'm saying. All right. Well, I'm going to switch the camera over, and we're going to start getting a few games in here, folks. So hold tight. We are on the Mac again, so I got to... re-acclimate myself here.
    4:18
    I'm sure. I know you can post links to pictures. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. Oh, Imgur. it's a lot cleaner than I would have thought too like the barcade in Brooklyn is like pretty swampy oh it's dingy? well they don't these guys, this is like the fancy version like artwork and shit the bathrooms are clean there's graffiti on the wall in there that says Richie T loves Mike's Hard Lemonade and it was just some rando spreading rumors He's a friend of mine. It wasn't me. I know who it is. Okay, good. It's a friend who happens to... Then someone... Wait, isn't there like a dead flip thing in there too? Yeah, there is a dead flip thing in there, yeah. Not written by me. A yoga photo. Oh, my man. I hope so.
    5:25
    This, folks, is the manager. The gentleman that let us stream here tonight was kind enough to give us his Wi-Fi password so we could download all the porns and stuff. Corns. Corn videos. Music videos. Corn porn? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. Jack, did you adjust the camera for your short girlfriend?
    5:48
    Laura, stand at the camera for me, buddy. Crap. Guys, you're so... Hey, committed to kill. You're so attentive. Oh, you can see her. Don't worry about it.
    6:03
    That's two rivers. Those LEDs are terrible. It is what it is. This game needs a little more GI. I wish I had a way to shine a light down on this thing.
    6:20
    This would just work perfect. This would be perfect, but I don't have another tripod. Right? Laura's not short. Jack is too long. That's my problem. For reference, how tall is Jack? I am 6'7". I am one inch taller than Michael Jordan. Hey, Jayden. You are taller than Michael Jordan. It's pretty cool. I'm a fan.
    6:47
    It's true. I am a normal guy. With those heels, you're like... Those heels. You're with those heels, though. You know what? I'm not going to be able to figure this out, so we're just going to... We'll just keep the faces lit so we don't look like ghosts playing. I need a beer. Do you want to use your card I not drinking so I have money That too tall Jack Come on I sorry guys I take care of that in a minute What do you want A D, um... A hell of a high watermelon? Do they have a hell of a high watermelon here? It's not an actual mountain. Hey, Ten Spence, what's up? Um, so, a lot of the Pinsane Clown Posse guys are going to be showing up here because this is their home turf. So, are we out of secrets week, Jack, or is there still more to go? Today was supposed to be a secret, but the secret fell through and got pushed to next week. So next week is when we're going to be doing that. There was one more secret.
    7:44
    Oh, I'm pregnant. No, that wasn't it. Jello. There's a delicious beer called Heller High Watermelon by 21st Amendment. If you haven't had it, go out and drink it immediately. All right, let's see how this is playing.
    8:02
    Oh, it's a little wimpy. Again with the secrets. Loan code. I'm a pregnant. I'm not a pregnant girl. Come on.
    8:15
    Okay, this seems to be playing alright. The top flipper seems a little wimpy. It's a little droopy. What's up, buddy?
    8:27
    Eric Price is here, kids. How's she playing? Um, okay. The upper right flipper feels wumpy. It's soft. The leaf to get it to go is, like, tight.
    8:48
    Let's try it. Okay. Stretching out damn secrets. Saw your tournament pop up on IFPA. Scribble, yeah, come on by, man.
    8:59
    Watermelon does not belong in beer. You are crazy. Tell her how watermelon is. What's that? Oh, yeah, that door right there. It's got graffiti all over it. Yeah.
    9:17
    Bathroom? On the internet. See, I look so official with these lights on me. I must know where the toilet is.
    9:29
    Oh, what the... Okay, this is not boating well, but at least I'm getting the feel for it. Oh, wait, do you guys want in?
    9:42
    I don't have any... Oh, this guy. Okay. Of course. The second I, like, delay and talk, blah, blah, blah, Next shot, right down the drain.
    10:07
    Internet, I want to say thank you for all the follows this week. This week has been out of control. We've gotten so many follows. The subscriber hype is on point right now.
    10:20
    Richie, finally subscribed. I did it earlier. Finally. About time. It's not as fun as subscribing on air, though. Yeah, right. PaulyB18, what's up buddy? Yo, that second flipper though I'm telling you A second flipper What?
    10:49
    What just happened? What, the googly eyes? I feel like those googly eyes have been there I know that's actually a thing with a lot of pinball players. Like, I know Josh Sharp, his Star Trek The Next Generation, every character has different sized googly eyes to match the perspective and depth into which they're standing.
    11:16
    So, I got Joe on the sour beers and the Radler. Hello, I just heard about you from your WrestleMania pin. Whoa, Jake the Miner. What's up, buddy? Thanks for coming, man. Should add location to the title. I'll do that right now. You were correct.
    11:38
    You guys are so smart. Location pinball is dark, it's loud, and it doesn't always work. So, folks, thanks for hanging out.
    11:58
    All right, guys, the title was updated. Go ahead and refresh. It says Emporium Logan's Whitewater. Anyone got a wet willy? This is Joe.
    12:28
    Oh, also, folks, do you want to know a secret? On Wednesdays and Thursdays for the next couple of months, make sure you're watching Twitch. Make sure you're watching us, because stuff's going to get really bonkers. What's up, Drew?
    12:54
    Is that Osric? Yeah. Yeah, I am going to be streaming my rock, paper, scissors every Wednesday and Thursday.
    13:03
    And I'm going to have special guest Michael Jordan. Whom I'm taller than. And might even play spaceship, maybe. We're going to rock, paper, scissors to see if we play or not.
    13:17
    Beat pants. Jack has a light, knows the way to the toilet. That's almost gold rush multi-ball. Really? That's the kick out?
    13:32
    Get ready, man. That's why I like streaming location pinball, because we get to experience... It teaches you to change your strategy, for sure.
    13:43
    The high score is only 1.8. Vacation jackpot or riot. folks I will do my best to shout out any followers or donations or subscribers if you guys could give me a hand in pointing that out that would be awesome because I can't hear a damn thing in here what what no someone whistled Oh It was too perfect
    14:31
    I'm over here now. Yeah, those are super bands. Uncle Carmy, and I'm sure some of you folks know how I feel about the old Super Bands.
    14:52
    I have all the feels for Super Bands, but they're not good ones. Stop looking at your shoulder. Kick back? Yeah, there you go. No light. location pinball super bands are the devil Osric amen wait did I give Manny a shirt what the hell is he talking about you like the new Titan silicone I have not played the Titan silicone I'm just looking at the score alright cool He does work here, as in putting his name on the machines. Yeah, wireless laugh. You're there. They can hear everything as long as I'm sort of near it. Like, they could probably hear Ritchie flipping, maybe that back there, but it's directional to what I'm facing.
    16:01
    Why don't you like Super Bands? They just, they don't play right, in my opinion. They're different. They're supposed to be new, like, people are like, oh, you're afraid of change. No, no, no, no, no. They're just different, and I don't like them.
    16:16
    I ain't afraid of change. I love change. I got a pocket full of it. Also, can we get an R.I.P. for that butt emote? I even tried drawing pants on it, and it won't go.
    16:36
    I got all them drawing skills. Hello, Flippers. Grats on partnering. $1.75. My man. Thanks for coming, buddy. And thank you for the love.
    16:54
    You see those green windows? Something will pop up in one of them. A follow is the top one, a donation is the middle one, and a subscriber is the bottom one. um internet just so you know this upper flipper is a little dumpy yeah up there dump flipper you dump mom stop looking you mother you mother uh no nick has whirlwind
    17:33
    We will always have the butt trigger. Jaded, thank you. I think that's how we're going to bypass it. We've just got to figure out what is the best looking asky butt and go with that.
    17:46
    Mad respect to Twitch for, you know, not letting me have that because realistically, everyone on Twitch would partner, I'm sorry, would subscribe just to have that butt emote. It was so good. I would give someone five bucks a month to be able to put that in someone else's chat room. Do you get to use your email elsewhere? Yeah, yep. So people get to take my tilt and go to like Papa's stream and throw it in there. Or, you know, if they're watching Hearthstone and someone knocks over a glass of water.
    18:21
    Tilt. Josh Bacon's. What's up, buddy? Yo, yo, yo. What is this movie? Like a tube just came out of some dude's mouth into another dude's mouth, and there was like a thing traveling through it. Maybe animate the two hams doing a chest bump? It can't be animated, but maybe if I put two butts in the frame,
    19:04
    and I'll be like, oh, it's their bowling balls. JackSafety69, EmporiumJrGTFO. Lone Goat, that's the biggest, flattest butt, though.
    19:17
    Cake butt. That's cake butt. Laura coined it. See Ryu, that looks like... yeah that kind of looks like a butt. Yeah, it looks like a butt. But I want to... it almost sort of looks like boobs. Yeah. I think it looks more like a butt though. Really? It doesn't look like a bikini? No. That's all I can see are boobs.
    19:45
    Alright. Good ball dude. The battle with Rurik the other day... I put up about 898. Oh, nice. And I had 300 at the end of the World Cup Challenge. What? You just kept going? Yeah. I was getting 40 mil per shot on the... You know what? Das Bacon's, you are incorrect. I'm sorry, can you repeat that to the internet? You are incorrect, Das Bacon's. There you go. All the way around. Yeah, F the Geek, that's definitely not a butt. Unless that's a butt with zits on it. It's dimple piercing.
    20:24
    Lone goat got it right. Yep. It wouldn't let me do butt lizard. You're not allowed to type... You're not allowed to type the... Oh, man, that shook the whole rig. Oh, did I? Sorry.
    20:38
    Destroyed. Alright, I have to... Hold on, let me make sure this is all good. I think that should be okay.
    21:03
    Cool. I feel like the frame rate's, like, super bad. How did that not tilt? Yeah, that was a bit of an earthquake, kids. Sorry about that.
    21:14
    Is the... game... because it's a day now. We like maybe wanna pull the... We touching the machine somewhere and I don know where You didn tilt the I didn't. You didn't. You just messed everything up. With no tilt. Rigged because it didn't tilt. Did you just fight the taxi out of it? No I haven't. You were thinking about doing it, I think you said it. Yeah guys, things are a little chuggy, I apologize. I'm going to start closing some... Oh, crap. I shouldn't have done that. Internet, to make sure that the computer runs a little faster, I'm closing some stuff, so now I definitely need your help.
    22:36
    If somebody... Oh, I guess you won't even see because I turned that crap off. Alright, one second, guys. We'll get this figured out. It's just chugging more than I'd like it to.
    22:55
    Hey, Richie, can you pull the video up and tell me how smooth it looks? Thanks, brother. Did you tilt, Richie?
    23:10
    Okay, because those are just now coming through. There is a bit of a delay. The delay is fine. We can't really do anything with that because, you know, we're out in the world.
    23:25
    Okay. The only problem is we won't be able to see followers and stuff like that right now. Only subscribers, because it'll show up in chat.
    23:52
    Oh, come on. I should have slapped it. Should have slapped it. 2,200 to 2,700 before I was in Oregon. Okay, then you got like 10 more there. Yeah, yeah. Four of them.
    24:34
    Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's just up there. I've written like 400 minutes on Facebook. I mean, it's not huge.
    24:46
    Subscription. Who subscribed? Yeah, I did. I used to go to Bottom Island. Subflip-tion? What are you talking about? That's where... Someone sub flipped?
    24:58

    25:49
    Hey, Gearson, what's up, buddy? you know, you can get like, you can get in there. I didn't watch it all, but I watched like, I had it on all the time. And you like, you do so well at that, that you can literally walk away with 500 lives in 10 minutes.
    26:14
    There's a number of ground tracks that play it. You die, 20 seconds, you might not have a divorce. I think it's kind of butts, but it might get better. It's a little weak.
    26:39
    I think we just need to have a better... What's your bitrate? We need a better machine. It's just... It's actually, like, camera's bandwidth problem thing, so... Oh, shit. Oh, they're... They're sort of fighting. It's my problem. Yeah. You're having all the problems I have. Yeah. I'm having, this is the old setup that we're using to be on location, so.
    27:01
    That I'm not too worried about. That's not a thing. Cool. Can I, um. Nope, you're fine.
    27:13
    We've tilted 19 times. Holy crap. I think he's just counting every tilt for the week. Semi butts. I'm going to pull up the interwebs here and see what we got Stop looking at your shoulder
    27:52
    Semi-bugs. Yeah, I think the speed is dying on me. Holy! Come on! Damn it! Um, folks, I have one thing I can try, okay? I'm going to stop the stream. It's going to take me 30 seconds. We'll come back. And I bet it's going to work 100% better. Are you ready?
