    8:54
    Locked in Foo. Like, imagine like, Foo Fighters. If J.J.P. Godfather was on fire, I wouldn't waste my piss trying to put it out. Iron Fox, Good Evening.
    9:08
    Oh, right, The Deposit. Slash doing the music. Methado and that. You know what? Let's see what it looks like. Let's see.
    9:20
    You guys saw the picture with Eric where you get to see the underside of the game, right? They put a lot in there. Hollywood Welcome. uh weekend was weekend was busy uh me and the kiddo the entire weekend lots of fun um let's see here no interest in the theme and i was actually alive when the movie came out says pork dog uh yeah so we'll see lots going on like if there's it's a great time to be in pinball what do we got we have foo fighters godfather um uh scott denisi's new game um final resistance uh we've got sorry american pinballs galactic tank force uh like i wonder if galactic tank i'm super interested in in galactic tank force yeah methadone gtf uh we've also finally got This Is Spinal Tap actually being manufactured. We've got Scooby-Doo being manufactured. There's a lot going up. Buckle up, George. I just remembered today that after spending all day at that 420 Festival, we can go see the new Evil Dead. Oh! I did not realize. I didn't even know there was a new Evil Dead movie coming out, Dice.
    10:38
    Um. Huh. There we go. That's a positive. I will absolutely go see the new Evil Dead film. Alright, let's see what we can do. We're gonna get a game in.
    11:01
    Alright, so what I'm gonna do is kill the music. Alright, so you guys can't hear that music. But I think I can pull direct audio. um well yeehaw we'll have the ripskies and watch the the deadites give ripskies i feel scooby will be quickly boring and i love scooby-doo zoe watched scooby-doo tonight and she is she's like dad are you gonna get the scooby-doo game and i'm like no no doesn't doesn't doesn't do anything for me all right here's what we're gonna try first of all i don't need the headphones here anymore despite the fact that we have music going on tell me is that is that creating an echo i don't i don't think it should my guess is the the sound is coming through okay no echo okay cool so you guys should have direct audio from the game with like a little bit of actual sound coming through. Razor. Okay, good to know. Good to know. Well, here we go. We're going to give it a go. And Bumper Nugget commenting that Scooby-Doo could be at Pinball Jones soon. I'm interested in trying it. I hear there's... I'm interested in trying it. There we go. I'll leave it at that. All right, here.
    12:26
    I've put a few games on this, enough to know that we ran into a bunch of little issues. So we'll see how it plays. The biggest one is how quickly it seems like the game's lights are getting out of sync and it forgets. So at some point in this game, we may just have to do some really good guessing as to what all I actually need to hit.
    12:57
    Alright, we're going to get that back. I'm still doing it. All right, first ball locked. I'm going to try for the quick lock again. Let's see if we can do it.
    13:16
    All right, we're going to be patient here. We've got ball lock number two. I'm not. I'm going to try and trap up here on the left.
    13:26
    That totally worked. and all right should we talk a little bit about the rules on this game kissco welcome good choice for today given the news big congrats to scott i know i'm so jazzed for scott new game new music uh and i believe if i understood correctly he's like the is he the creative director on the game what was that Mystery award lit. All right. Jacob.
    14:03
    One more shot. All right. We're cool. We're cool. Alright, so we've made it through the first phase. The very first and second phase. The first phase is to complete all the shots on the grid. If you guys haven't played TNA, you have to complete all the shots on the grid. And since I'm holding a lot of balls here, I can't point them out. Then you have to start the reactor by hitting the scoop. After you start the reactor, you then have to overheat the reactor.
    14:51
    Try that again. Oh, that's so not good. Alright. I've had better. And now you just need to overheat it. It should not be anywhere near as difficult as I'm making it out to be. Great, now the reactor is overheated. We're still on the first reactor, still on the first ball. So I'm not going to complain. And then randomly, we light up... This is the 90-piece reactor 9, folks. What he's calling problems are Joe's way of pushing George over the victory line. Thank you, guys. the weird thing about how much people want super deep code is think just how few people globally can even get to it like that market has got to be small that's a really good point, Higher Peanut in the meantime, we're trapped up top and it looks like mystery is lit maybe, I don't know that I believe that mystery is actually lit but randomly, we have one of the destroy targets lit now the possible destroy targets on this game are the rad targets That destroy, that destroy, or those two. So there's seven possible destroy targets. Although we're at version 1.5, this is my first time playing through 1.5 code, and I didn't actually read what was different about it.
    16:35
    All right. Oh, that was mystery was actually lit. So I need to hit that destroy right there. But I will say, at my Green Bay Barcade, they possibly have the nicest Lord of the Rings. I think they do.
    16:54
    Arthur Pindragon! My hat's off to you. I can't actually hear that. I'll have to turn off the sound so that way I can hear the notifications.
    17:11
    Two years, 24 months. Arthur Pintragon welcome once again after two years for your continued support and welcome I don't know how to say that welcome to your continued place in the panic room I don't know words suck I can't oh you guys couldn't actually hear that that's interesting because I can hear it oh it's because it's getting... I muted the route. I have to get rid of the music and then re-enable it. I know exactly what's going on there. All right. So we're going to get to that in a second. But this destroy is really hard to get to. So how do we get to that? There's a couple different things we can do. We can either do a backflip. Hey, Dance Panda. Or we can do what I call shatzing the bed. And that's where you hit the bottom corner over here and it ricochets off of the slingshot into that destroy. Now, our, I feel like, hit rate on shatzing the bed is maybe 1%. I don't know. I would have said at one point it was about 25%, but we've done it a lot.
    18:28
    We've attempted the shat's the bed many times, and it has been mostly unsuccessful. So I'm going to try the back flip here. That totally worked.
    18:39
    Cool. Or we just do that. That works out really well. I'm going to go turn off the music. And now that we've got the music...
    19:02
    Aw. Now when notifications come through, we can all hear them. Aw. Yeah. All right, let's try this again, shall we?
    19:14
    Up and around. Or we just get it over there. Are we kidding on that? There we go. Cool. So our first reactor is destroyed. You can see it's now lit solid there, and we're ready to start our second reactor. What should we do in our second reactor? I think what's the phrase in this? Always be multiballing? So let's lock up here.
    19:55
    Oh, Dance Panda commenting on the fact that today is the first day we have not seen each other in a while.
    20:05
    And... Alright. And... Jenga. So, while we're in this multiball, we gotta hit this pad. Looks like we need two shots.
    20:35
    One more shot. And it's the middle one, which is the most dangerous. There you go. And it's not going to give me that back. Normally it would give me that back, but I forgot to wait for the ball drain to complete. Because while you're in a multi-ball, it doesn't give you that two seconds of ball save when it kicks the ball out. I have to hop on so I remember what you look like. David Cross, but better.
    21:11
    Yes, those banners did come from back. Flip or fumble. Yeah. Yeah, so when it kicks it out, it gives you two seconds. But if you're in a multiball, it does not give you the two seconds. So if you do drain out, fully wait for you to get out of multiball. if you're going to shoot it into the scoop like I just did. Now, we're going to try something else here where we try and plunge it up into the top. Totally worked.
    21:42
    I'm going to try it again now. Got our mystery super spinner. Now we're going to go for this left. Actually, you know what? Screw it. We're going to go back into multiball. Or at least prep our multiball.
    22:06
    Wow, we have another mystery. Oh, we have an extra tilt. Ha! Alright. Need to figure out where the... Works 90% of the time? All the time.
    22:28
    Not a great game. It's fine. It's fine. Has anyone seen the new Ant People have just been crapping all over it Dice Uh Dance Panda and I went and saw it It was Welcome to the future Uh Thank you Hollywood
    22:48
    Uh, it was... It was... It was okay. It wasn't... It's a trap. It was okay. So, you know what? We're just gonna... We're just gonna work on the multiball sitch. Hold on.
    23:06
    and a little backhand action right there now we're going to be nice and easy here up and down there it is there it is and multi-ball get into a multi-ball before you hit the grid so this is the grid we have to complete then get it into the scoop then get a ball up top and overheat the reactor, then find and destroy it, and wash, rinse, repeat.
    23:42
    Two more shots. Okay, one more shot. Got it. All right, now we need to do, I think, a little over and under in order to get this up. This is a little tough.
    24:22
    Can I... All right, reactor critical, and we got it. All right, first reactor is destroyed. Wow. Not good. All right, keep it up. Keep it up. We're good.
    24:52
    All right, we're fine. There we go. Reactor 2 is now started. No, not started. It's qualified to start. Got it. And also, this light show is still fantastic. So I'm just going to let it go.
    25:09
    Squalito. No, this is my original TNA. This is number 473. This is the longest I have ever owned a pinball machine.
    25:24
    6040. What's the over-under on George doing the over-under? Chef! Welcome to the stream! Jeff, I don't know if you ever got the opportunity to play this. I think you did. I think you did.
    25:45
    All right, we're gonna try and backhand this again. That's not good. That works. Let's see here. This is actually a pretty easy forehand.
    26:06
    Oh my god. There we go. I think everybody heard that now. Somebody just followed. That was Simphindel. Welcome.
    26:20
    Okay, yeah, yeah. Jeff has played TNA. I feel like I just need to bend some of those because so often that top is not helpful. Oh, no.
    26:40
    We're going to try that again. There it is. There we go. Reactor number two is started. Now. Now we need that destroy and this destroy.
    27:00
    Or we can work on our multiball. Now, I know from playing this game that you don't ever back the multiball target from the right flipper. Because in doing so, it almost always goes straight down the middle. So I'm going to skip that and wait to knock down that first target until we have the ball on the left side.
    27:20
    I am really surprised that did not give us anything. I just set the tilt bob. Um... Oh, wow. Let's try that. I missed it! Somebody just did something.
    27:48
    Oh my god, he just ran in. Oh my god. Hey, Pins and Pirates just rated us a five beautiful people. Pins and Pirates, I hope your stream was fantastic. What were you streaming? And yeah, I'm enjoying some TNA. Just got this back in house. It's been entirely too long. All right, we're going to try to shat the bed here, which is I'm going to give it a go off this bottom corner and see if we can ricochet it into the destroy.
    28:19
    Oh, that's right, I have a save. I totally forgot about that. Yeah, I thought a bump like that would warn for sure. Yeah, I want to make sure it didn't slow off.
    28:32
    No, it's good. It's fine. Kisco. Oh, Scotty, I backhand the locks all the time on my CE. So, I... No, no, no. I can backhand the lock, but it was... That first drop target was up. at the time, and when that's up, I don't backhand that lock. Otherwise, because it ricochets perfectly down the middle.
    29:02
    So, while it's open, backhand. All day. All day. It's going to give me that back? Wow. No, it's not. Just walk the plank there. Hey, speaking of pins and pirates, The ball walked the plane.
    29:21
    Test Bishop, I think George is indicating that the first locked target is dangerous. Yeah, the very first locked target after you've already been in multiball.
    29:32
    There we go. The secret skill shot for 100,000. And... Really? Let's try it now. So this first target...
    30:07
    One more target on the grid. Got it. and triple drain while we have an extra ball lit. That was so good.
    30:24
    Mr. Hardluck, good evening. Let's see here. The only reason you've had this one so long is because you didn't have it for a year. You're not wrong. Also, I want to check something really quick. We have been... We'll make sure to go back and give people names here, but I, I, I, because I just put new firmware on here, uh, I wanted to have DPF in there somewhere. oh man alright heck yeah that was yeah that was rough it's okay we're still that was the second real game actually since being on stream with this it's only the second time I've actually played through an entire game There we go.
    31:33
    And ball lock number two. And confirm. There we go. and Janko. Two more shots. One more shot. Ah!
    32:18
    Really? Alright, here we go. Got it. Man, that middle target is so scary, though. That is exactly what happened.
    32:41
    There we go. We're going to start the reactor and grab a mystery with 42 extra balls. Or super spin. I have a reactor startup sequence.
    32:51
    You succeeded in not getting all nine reactors. Reactor online. TNA or James Bond 60th. All right. Come on. Control.
    33:06
    There we go. Ah, that's it. I mean, I would get, if it was about the money, I would get a 60th and sell it and get a different game like Foo Fighters LE and a TMA.
    33:33
    All right. Destroy is over here on the right. Missed it by that much. Wow. And then no trigger off the sling for that one. Hey, Snivy Tries, welcome to the stream. Stream bard in the house.
    33:57
    I like that. Positive reinforcement. That's really good. All right, I have been missing this all night just like that.

    and... Ball Lock. I think we're on Ball 2, right? Better be Ball 2. Yeah, Ball 2. Ball Lock number 2, and then we're going to Short Plunge this, see if we can trap up.

    I mean, that worked out really well. 3-X Jackpot. 4-X Jackpot. Oh, and we got our Super... the Super Secret super jackpot.
    34:47
    One more shot on the grid and it's the hardest one to find. Wow. We got our super secret. We got a four ball multi ball instead of a three ball and we just ruined it. This is a surprisingly tough shot to hit.
    35:03
    Really? What is going on? I know. Oh, yeah, that is another one without a warning. Well, as soon as I drain this, I've got to figure out what's going on. I moved the heck out of the machine earlier.
    35:28
    Please stand by for the reactor startup sequence. Danger. I mean, it's there and it's moving, and it's up nice and high.
    35:42
    Full save. No idea what's going on with that Dilpop. I know, right? Poltergeist? Hey, deep, deep hop up. Welcome.
    36:05
    Ah, really? Full save. There it is. We're still on ball two right now. Do I go? Oh, yeah. We're going to go for the multi-ball lock.
    36:42
    I'm really surprised that didn't get us there. You know what? But now we can do... Oh, no. And... Oh, wow.
    37:12
    Well there goes ball two. Come on a sec. All right. It had the... Oh, you know what? We're still slightly off. Let's just see what happens.
    38:00
    Still nothing. Hillbop's moving like crazy. All right, I guess it's got to go up a little bit. Hold on.
    38:29
    And. And it's here. Let's see what's going on. Oh. I think something's disconnected hold on we saw it like I got on there and I moved it what just happened
    39:34
    at least i don't feel so bad anymore i think i think it literally i think the tilt bomb is broken or at least the connection to it here's the question is it you too can give your tilt pop the george treatment dip that sucker in plastic resin and reinstall oh wait a second so chicken i'm hearing what's uh do your tilt bobs come with a coil now i was playing co-op with someone new to pinball when they destroyed a reactor i scared them so much they ran from the machine do you have some sort of a software filter on the game is clipping or triggering some sort of a cut off bass tone you know i asked earlier how the sound was because we were doing direct audio from the video all right let's see is it a software issue nope no tilt off just stop working
    41:07
    man it's like one thing after another here on this I'm not sure what happened with the tilt bob could it be a software setting like can you disable the tilt bob all I disabled the the shaker motor multi-ball gi color should probably be green um right d papa i think if you measure voltage you'd be sure it's either hardware or software I do not have those. Machine... I guess it's not a coil.
    42:11
    Machine standard. Attract beacon. Scores on LCD. All right, so what do we got? we've got tilt allowed in the shooter lane tilt bob settle time 1.5 seconds uh tilt switch sensitivity the default five tilt warnings two tilt allowed in the shooter lane okay so it doesn't i mean all of those are default they get highlighted yellow when they're not set to default and the only two is i don't want the back box LED on while I'm playing the game.
    43:02
    Hmm. Hey, Wolfman. Well, that's not fun. Hold on, let me take one more look to see if it's not something stupid.
    43:27
    Okay. No. So those look good. I can't even think of what could possibly be wrong here. It's two cables.
    43:57
    And they both look like they're soldered in just fine. Huh. Let's see here. You're supposed to put the earplug where the tilt bob hangs, not replace the bob with an earplug. Thank you. Thank you, Baystone. Did you plunge and then test the tilt? I'm just pushing the tilt. Like, it should just be tilting. Welcome to the future.
    44:24
    Yeah, it's just not tilting at all. It could be a bad connector for sure. Get a couple cables. It's a funny tune. What's working? I know, I tested the... The tilt-bob wasn't on the game when I got it.
    44:57
    Oh that right No no no you right It doesn Yeah thank you It does not allow shooter lane tilt, right?
    45:37
    Oh, there we go. Okay. No, it's working. I'm just stupid. You can't tilt while you're in the shooter lane. Now shake. Thank you.
    45:57
    We're cool. Alright, so I'm going to get rid of the light. And I was getting all disappointed. I'm like, I don't even... It's not even fun to play without it. Jedi McMuffin, say cool whip. Cool whip. Are we still on ball one? Wow, we are still on ball one. Okay. that works like every you know it's fine but then we're just we're thrown off why I don't want player three I want to reset the game can i not reset the game anymore no we're not so this is fun hey chat yeah exactly i i'm fairly certain we set up uh resets on this uh how can we sold gz george i didn't hear the background of that one kirk hobbs um it's nothing nothing too crazy i just i wasn't a huge fan of godzilla like not enough to hold on to it and the market and the with the price and where it was like i'm really happy i got out i got out of godzilla at the time because it's dropping in price it's already down right now about a grand from where it was so i'm happy i got out if i did godzilla again it would definitely be a pro
    47:29
    yeah, Deepapa, exactly, yeah, some good, good stretch, opportunity to, to just chill, catch up on chat, the audio issue is still present, so what I could do here on the audio issues is I could mute, if I go back here, uh, with 50 pins coming out, what are you getting, yeah right like we were just talking about that so right now uh i'm in for a foo fighters that is it um i'm i'm my interest is peaked on galactic tank force honestly uh it was time it was time for godzilla i guess let's see welcome to the future so the audio if i if i understand correctly the audio that is direct captured from the game is clipping a little bit is it still there is it is it bad because i can mute it and we can just pick it up from from this but i think i have the trying to think of how i can create feedback it's not clip it's chopping yes almost to stutter okay so we can get rid of it there so now you won't hear that anymore but we're gonna be uh seeing ie pinball get 45 billion nearly killed the enjoyment for me oh kirk hobbs what was that on oh 45 billion on on gz yeah hey joust welcome um i like eric's pins but i can't see how TFG is going to wow me.
    49:14
    Yeah, I'm assuming you're talking about Godfather? Yeah, Godfather I don't know. We'll see what it looks like tomorrow, right?
    49:23
    Yes, Space Tone, I do have the NVIDIA filter on. So give me a second. I'm going to adjust the NVIDIA filter on the audio capture. We're going to go, nope, it's not there. We're going to go here and we're going to say filters come on slider there we go so i have turned off the noise the noise filter you guys should hear it now i'm going to turn the music up just a hair snivy no no no we we love the nvidia features but now you're going to hear a lot more flipper sounds higher peanut that is not good snivy tries it wasn't we weren't eliminating flipper noises by the way snivy we were we were just uh uh minimizing them so that we had we had worked with the stream previously and found that uh 70 noise suppression from nvidia was good leaving just 30 of the sounds of the flippers that the horse head toppers for everyone um yeah a horse head for you and a horse head for you i'll take that it was dirty but but i'll but i'll take it let's see if we can live catch here totally live caught that was crap um you uh you put a pillow over the flipper noises and completely killed the glorious clack that pinball needs snivy tries I think uh a little bit of noise reduction goes a long way All right, we're going to get that back.
    51:34
    And Jenga. Oh, my God. The bass is so loud. I don't think this turns off the high power. Yeah, I gotta turn the music down a little bit.
    52:09
    Could the direct capture be affected by the filter? It sounded something... No, it's a totally... The filter is only applied to this microphone and nothing else.
    52:19
    Jedi... Oh, yeah, yeah. We'll totally stream this. And Jedi is gonna be here on Thursday. Let's try that again, shall we?
    52:43
    Okay, now we're going to try... Oh, no. Uh, that destroy rate... Ugh. Really? That destroy. Got it. And now we're going to start working on multiballs again. Oh, no. No, we're not.
    53:25
    nope agenda is super loose arrive Thursday leave Sunday yeah Jedi that's pretty much all I've got planned come south and hang out in Denver don't spend all your time in Focos as meta nightmare should definitely hit oh my gosh wow I blame chatting while playing sweet bring torch down alright and find the shots there's a ball lock
    54:24
    or just bat it around wildly and watch it go right down the middle. Yeah, this game is exactly like I remember it.
    54:42
    It can be so brutal, and other times it can be very easy. There it is. You gotta find that shot again. It's down like 75% of the flipper. We're gonna try the quick lock.
    55:02
    And the lock lock, the back end. Just like Stella, George is gonna get his TNA groove back and get through reactor 9. That seems very unlikely to happen at least anytime soon.
    55:23
    One more shot. There it is. Oh, man, this is a tough shot. I'm going to try and do the over-under here.
    55:42
    Totally worked. Okay. Okay, now we're going to try and backhand. That's excellent. I'm just going to hold that up there, and we can backhand it over there.
    56:14
    Alright, this is fun. Now we're going to go for the grid. totally worked was super fun alright we're gonna go lock nope got it Let's try lock again.
    56:54
    Pluto, welcome! You can backhand? Yeah, so there's a story around that, by the way. So it was Manu and I on a TNA battle, virtual versus physical, at one point. And we had Scott on the battle. and he was moderating the battle and came up with what we were doing and I got it from Scott that that was not supposed to be allowed he didn't know that that was possible and he said it was cheating but it's his game and that's what I'm doing so it's doable on all of the TNAs that I have played thanks Stanley I have to head out Snivy have a great night uh let's see here yeah i own this game 18 months and pulled the glass and couldn't backhand that spinner i think his left sling is mounted in the wrong spot and he's technically cheating it's not it's it's i got the game directly from spooky as is i feel like i can backhand it on every game i've ever played of of tna man we're on ball two all right we'll take that lock never seen that spinner backhandable on location uh there's the quick lock by the way that quick lock uh i have used since tna and i have found that there are a lot of other games that actually work really well for about Quick Lock. Mandalorian is one of those. It's the same. I wanted to get a TNA, but the new price just killed it for me. Hey, Mrs. Lord, helmet slings were mounted way off from the factory. Oh, it's not worth that price, Kirkobs. Yeah, the price is coming down on this, I think.
    59:01
    One more. Ugh! one more and it's the tough one got it whoo all right we do not want to backhand the the target from over here to get back into multi-ball so at this point i kind of just have to shoot for the reactor it's a really it is a hey we got a danger it is a really really tough forehand shot I've never played TNA but the music is full of absolute effing bangers Pluto it's so good whatever it was they grabbed something from the bus and now all six cop cars are gone oh this is the okay has the price direct from spooky come down or on the secondhand market. Because I think it's still like 9k.
    60:10
    I'm going to say that was absolutely intentional. Alright, we're going to try and short plunge up into the top.
    60:30
    Almost. It's okay, we get another attempt. There it goes. And the question is, now do we go for the multiball, which is actually kind of hard to overheat the reactor, or just go for the reactor? I'm doing that.
    61:00
    All I'm saying is everybody else is a hater. All right. One more destroy. Got it. and we got it while we had three balls in play the the number of balls in play is a multiplier a play field multi oh really all right looks like we need two more shots we do have a mystery and we're on ball three so i need to get those two shots i'm gonna start working towards multi-ball there.
    62:07
    Yeah, okay, we're fine. We're fine. Hey, Devin Crates, welcome. Anyone else addicted to Taki Snacks Fuego flavor? I can honestly say I've never had it.
    62:25
    Not good. Alright. And... That's good. Alright. Locks are lit. There we go. We got our first lock. I am going to... You know what? Screw it. I'm doing the full plunge. And the quick lock! Yes! That felt good. Now we're going to short plunge.
    63:03
    And do this. Right here. This is how we roll. There we go. Jango. Two shots on the grid. There's one.
    63:24
    That works. That works. Alright, we're going to try the over-under. We're going to grab, hopefully, an extra ball. And start our reactor all in one go.
    63:45
    Totally, totally got there. Got it. All right. All right, we're going to grab a mystery. We've got our extra balls, so just don't drain. 150,000 points. Not really what I want. Notice we've got ball three music now. we've got another mystery locked up ooh 10 seconds of ball save and another mystery wow we have a lot of mysteries queued up ooh it doesn't get any better than locks lit oh no let's try it again There we go. I'm going to try and short plunge up top.
    64:55
    Did not quite make up. Make it make up. Use the force. No. Okay. We've got our multiball ready. I think we do it. I'm going to let some of these drain and see if I can get them all up top.
    65:19
    Okay. That worked out really well for us. Try again. Don't freak out. Up and around. up and around and okay alright what do we need we got one destroy because I think we got the R and rad we've got the two destroys here and we're still on ball three. We do have our extra ball. There's absolutely going to be some tequila-fueled impromptu streaming. Jedi, that is happening. That is the way. I misread that as screaming.
    66:36
    Alright, let's try that. Nope. Now we're going to try that. We got a danger there. Alright, we've been missing this all night perfectly.
    67:05
    Really? How has that missed it? I don't understand anything that just happened there. I feel like I hit that shot four times.
    67:27
    I think I once heard Scott say that he programmed in a feature where if you purposefully drain all the balls at multi-ball start, you intentionally will lose some. Never seen it before, but I think it happened there. Drained all three and only plunged two and still had ball save. Yeah, I kiss co. I felt that exact same thing just a moment ago. Okay, so... Uh, who... We gotta go back here. Pins and Pirates. We gotta put Pins and Pirates in here.
    67:54
    Oh actually Arthur Pindragon subbed first so we gotta go Arthur Pindragon Okay pin dragon um I don't know how many letters we're gonna get in here but we're gonna get as close as possible.
    68:30
    Pinned. The ball save seems to be triggered on a later switch in the trough, so you frequently drain two and get one back. Okay. It is interesting how often I feel like you never get three balls back after draining some.
    68:49
    Alright. What time is it? We're at 1116. Well, let's Let's give it another go. God, TNA is such a fun game, too.
    69:11
    Really? There we go. Ball lock number one. Nice and easy. and ball lock number two. We're going to do the same thing.
    69:33
    No, we're not. That was awful. And Jenga. All right, one more shot. There, got it. I don't know how I saved that. I'm not saving that one, which is totally fine. and we're going to start the reactor.
    70:29
    That's good. Now I'm going to try and backhand this left orbit. Obviously super doable. Not cheating at all.
    70:41
    And then we're going to hit this destroy. Got it. And reactor number two is now unlocked. Beautiful. Reactor two is now online. I'm going to try and do that little over-under thing.
    71:13
    Is this a game where you can regularly see ball search come on while flipping? No. Not typically. Crap.
    71:31
    Sure, that works. Alright, so we may have one or two mysteries queued up. 50,000. Alright. Alright, we've got one and two. Let's see if we can grab both.
    71:56
    There's one. Full plunge. That'll do. Because I've been hitting that late all night. And lock number two. Let's short plunge on this one if we can actually remember to do it.
    72:33
    Man, that is perfect twice. Oh my god. Three or four more shots on that grid. Darn it. And, of course.
    73:10
    Man. Yeah. Taylor, it's a very... It can be a very tough and brutal game. I'll take the secret skill shots, though. Those do feel really good. It is a... It's a very fun shot.
    73:29
    All right. Middle. Ha! Missed it by that much. We also had extra ball lit. Wow. Oh, Reactor 2 was very quick. So now we get to do, it looks like, Pins and Pirates.
    74:00
    The super skill feels like juggling. It feels good when you hit it. Thank you, Pins and Pirates, for that raid.
    74:14
    Oh, crap. Alright. Guys, it is 20 after 11. We're going to do one last game and then we'll call it.
    74:45
    And let's see what happens. Let's see if we can actually make some decent progress. That is not how you do it.
    75:06
    All right, there we go. A little bit of control. Let's try it again. There we go. Ball lock. I'm gonna try and short plunge it again. Man.
    75:35
    And... all right, there's our ball lock. Try that... short plunging should not be that difficult. And can we start a multiball? We can. I will take it to the bank.
    76:11
    All right, so we are out of ball save. And looks like we need three more shots. So here is one. Two.
    76:30
    And one more shot. We have unlocked the reactor. Man, this is such a hard forehand shot to make. And it's still a very hard forehand shot to make.
    77:08
    Love you, game. I love you. I'm so glad you're back. Jedi, I am not set up for remote audio right now. Otherwise, I would love it. Those flippers need Mandalay. What is that? Pin Monk, what is Mandalay? Otherwise, Jedi, I would love to have you on.
    77:34
    Hey, there we go. We'll fix that. Yes. It's going to give that one back, which is fine. Can we get that up there?
    78:01
    And can we do the fun shot, the shats the bed? Nope. Close. We're going to try it again. If we can hit this bottom corner, I mean, that worked, but it really wasn't what we were trying for.
    78:33
    At pharmacies near you, more control for the performance you want. I'm so... I'm really not following that. I don't know what man delay is.
    79:07
    Okay. I think we can... Nope, there's one. Alright, can we hit the middle? Yes. Yes, we can. And can we start the reactor? That was crap, game. I've had better.
    79:38
    I'm just going to give that one back. Yeah! There we go! Get in there! Okay. When you have to explain a joke, it'd be, I'm sorry, Ben Monk. Mandalay is when you take your time to make a decision. Things also heard with the Mandalay. All I can think of right now is in Vegas, Mandalay Bay.
    80:31
    All right, two shots here. There goes one. Wait a second, is that like a sexual performance drug? I think I get it.
    81:13
    That took me way too long to get there, though. Which also would be the point of the drug, right? Okay, got it.
    81:36
    Nope, there's like, I get there eventually, but all of those jokes just keep happening. Was that ball three?
    81:54
    Alright. Kisco, I did own a Rick and Morty for like three or four months. Yes, we do. Lin's Arcade. Zero Dragons!
    82:10
    Oh my god, he just ran in. Lin's Arcade, thank you very much for that raid. Welcome, you six beautiful individuals coming over from Lin's Arcade. What is up? We've got Total Nuclear Annihilation back in the house. That was going to be our last game. but we're gonna go one more since we just got raided or raiders from Lynn's Arcade thank you so much also what were y'all streaming this evening were you guys playing competitive or was it a single machine we'll go one more and let's see if we can do this there's a ball lock So if you're just joining us, this game is okay.
    83:06
    TNA is both fantastic and brutal and wonderful and awful all in one go. We're getting the opportunity, I feel like, to experience maybe some of the more brutal sides of the game, which is totally cool.
    83:26
    Oh, so the colors just all got messed up over here. Neo Pinball, thank you very much for that follow. and quick multi-ball work. Hey, Ark Mecca, welcome to the stream. Happy Monday. It has been a while. So something just happened and now all the colors are all freaky. It's fine. But I know that we're ready to start the reactor. So we're going to try a little over under here.
    84:13
    Totally worked. Got it Okay so we have started the reactor And now we're going to go left orbit Try that again and a third time and a fourth time got it Can we hit that whatever that is?
    85:12
    Destroy. There we go. Nope. No, we cannot. A little over under was my dancing name. Like that's... Much easier to hit from that side. And a ball lock. That works. I'll do that.
    85:50
    Yep. Yep. The secret skill shot for 100,000. All right. One more shot on the grid. missed it by that much that's draining and that was also very very quick well that that's gonna be the fun I feel like on TNA this year y'all thank you so much for hanging out Happy Monday to everyone. I hope your beverage of choice, if you happen to be enjoying one, was as fun as mine, which was... Oh, gotta put that in front of my face. The hibiscus session from STEM. Hey, Neo is going to bed themselves. I'm streaming a different tourney every night till next Monday. Good luck. Oh my gosh, that is a lot of pinball. I don't know. um no pin monk rushes is here and it's completely functional uh so it is up and running we've got tna here uh i'm not sure what we're gonna play for the rest of this week jedi is going to be here on thursday so we will be streaming i'm guessing like thursday friday saturday and then he's out sunday so gotta gotta figure out what exactly we're doing definitely working on the Wi-Fi and maybe figure out why also try and figure out why we've got choppy audio coming from the video of TNA. A lot of venues each with their own IFPA tournaments. Oh yeah, Pinmonk, that list on Twitch is just old. I was switching around games so often I stopped updating it. I probably should have just said like game one placeholder. So at this point I've got Mandalorian, tmnt tna rush and stern stars and then we've got a foo fighters uh on order yeah so one of these games is gonna have to leave i just don't have room for i don't have room for five games let alone six so at least one of these has to go uh no foo premium although the le is gorgeous i i just i i only want the i only want the premium george's pinball list is so old he has three bagatelles still on it. What is a bagatelle? Ooh, pin monk has an LE and a pro coming. Okay. Are you just, are you going to sell, sell whichever one? Pinball. The addiction is real. Oh, it's, it's very real. Y'all, uh, let's go find someone to raid and, uh, temp test. Oh, I mean, that makes a lot of sense. Obviously you need a pro and either a premium or LE for everything. Right. work work and then when you're doing what you love for work that means what's that that phrase if you do what you love it's not it's not really it's not work at all or whatever that is i don't know but i hope i hope it's it's very fun for you it is every day for me literally y'all have a good night let's go find someone to ride see ya fear not for you are found You are home and there is no going back No one leaves this place But what is this place?
    89:46
    The answer is The pinball network Surrounded by cosmic gateways TPN Is on the edge of the known and unknown It is the collection point for all lost and unloved things Like you But here on TPN You are significant You are valuable. Here, you are loved. Where once you were nothing, now you are something.
    90:12
    You are the property of the Pinball Network. Congratulations. You will meet the Pinball Network. Second, prepare yourself. Prepare yourself. You are now meeting the Pinball Network.
    90:33
    Thank you.
