Thank you very much. Thank you. Always. Good evening, everyone. My name is George. This show is Don't Panic Flip, and tonight we have a very special guest. Escher, welcome. Hello. I've never played pinball. I haven't made that joke to you. No, keep doing it. Yeah, I've never played pinball before. It's my first time. Looking forward to it. It's going to be awesome. I think there's a word to describe it. It's auspicious. I would call this evening auspicious, which if I remember correctly, means conducive to success. So, yeah, I have a good feeling about our ability to make some potential progress here in Guardians of the Galaxy.
6:29
We have a new bee. We have a new bee, yeah. A new bee, got it. A new bee, yeah. Yes. Awesome. I'm just noticing I haven't shaved in, like, four days because I got home yesterday from Wisconsin. So I've got to get on that. You've got to turn down the quality. No, no, that's fine. Which is, see, I also look down. I'm plugging Carl. I didn't realize. I.E. pinball underneath the comet pinball. No. See, I'm plugging for another Twitch stream on someone else's stream. Yeah, you can plug for Carl anytime.
7:03
Also, taking the sweatshirt off. I feel like... Yeah, I'm a little warm. I always do this, right? That's right. I tie it around my... Is that new? That's new. I figured. So I could do that and not let in mice and rodents and things. Yeah, fair enough.

    • So, what are we doing this evening? We are playing some Guardians of the Galaxy. Now, I think we have played Guardians of the Galaxy together previously, but you, I just don't remember what happened. Were you able to play? Yeah, I played Xandar, but I missed my Quills payout. The Quills payout, okay. For my 80% of my score. Got it. So, is that what your goal then tonight will be? Well, that was my goal last time, but it's my goal again. I'm going to do it better this time. I'm just going to try to get to save Xandar. And I'm going to do a quick walkthrough, I think, of what it takes to get there. And what's interesting is I thought I got there at Pinball Jones last week, but I didn't realize that I think you have to get a super jackpot. In both multiballs. So when you say finish, is that getting the super? Yeah, so when they go solid on the playfield. Got it. Okay. So there are eight modes that have to be completed. Yaka Arrow, Sanctuary, Podchase, Antiquity Shop, and then Sibling Rivalry, Escape Kiln, Nowhere, and Quill's Quest. And that gets you to, actually you only have to do half of those. Yeah, you only have to finish them to get to Immolation Initiative. Yep. Now can you skip Immolation? Imagine you did all those. No, Immolation always comes first. Always does, okay. Yeah. So then you complete orb multiball by getting a super jackpot. How do you get a super jackpot in orb multiball? You hit every shot, and then you hit the orb twice. Okay. It's pretty easy. That's pretty straightforward. And then in Groot multiball, how do you get the super? You hit six jackpots, so then the super's lit on Groot, and then you have to hit six more, but you can only hit each shot once. And then the last one, you have to hit five shots, but you have to hit the specific hard shots that you've been avoiding. Oh, my God! Yeah, but Groot gets easier the more modes you finish. If you finish a mode, that shot will be available in Groot always. So let's say you finish Quill's Quest. That scoop, the Star-Lord scoop, will be lit the entire time. You can hit it as many times as you want. Okay. So if you finish Podchase, the left ramp will be available for you to always shoot.
    9:32
    If you finish Sanctuary, the left orbit will always be available to you. So if you have to come back and use Groot... Wait, is it just the last one you completed? No, all of them. All of them. But if you finish every mode and Immolation is lit, but you choose to go to Groot instead, then every single shot will always be lit. Will always, and you can hit all of those and it doesn't matter then. Yep. Okay. Cool. Let's get a game going. Would you like to go first? I would like you to go first, so that way I can go grab a beer and finish up the rest of this coffee. Fair enough. Good job on Circus Voltaire. Thank you.
    10:06
    I played well. There were some shenanigans on that Circus, though. Uh-oh. Yeah. So, I don't know how familiar everyone is with circus, but Voltaire's jackpot.
    10:19
    You know what that is? Not a lot of people actually know what Voltaire's jackpot is. But on circus Voltaire, if you shoot the left ramp, like right after you finish a, what's it called? A multi-ball. Like you just ran out, there's one ball in play. You have like three seconds to shoot the left ramp. And if you do, you get one more jackpot of all the multiballs that you were playing.
    10:47
    So if you're stacked with three multiballs, you'll get a high wire, you'll get a strike and arc, and you'll get a remastered jackpot. Huh. Okay, that is really good to know.
    10:58
    But when I shot my Voltaire's jackpot, it diverted. Uh-oh. Nice. Oh, my God! Also, before you keep going, MPT3K just raided us with 35 beautiful people. That's a lot of beautiful people. Let's do this. We are Moody Style. It's Manu. Manu Smith. And that's the name of this video. It's Manu. Manu Smith.
    11:28
    Welcome, Manu. That is one heck of an intro. I really like that. That's great. And I see Devin Creighton. I remember him. He won the giveaway that he didn't enter. Yes, he did.
    11:43
    When we figured out how all of that actually works. Yeah. So. We got a lot to talk about after Wisconsin, let me tell you. A lot happened.
    12:01
    A lot was going on. Right. And that's you being at District 82. And you happen to win a little tournament. No biggie. Yeah. I mean, I don't know if it deserved to be worth 100 Whoppers, but it was worth 100 Whoppers. 98.8 to be exact.
    12:21
    So I'm gaining ground on Raymond. I moved up to second in the world. I didn't even think about that. Yeah, so you went from number three to number two. Yeah. Kaylee did really well as well, so he's not far behind.
    12:38
    Throw in the mouth! Do you have any kind of special thing planned for when you hit number one? Well, I'll probably get legally drunk because I'll be in Australia. Okay. I'll know it pretty much immediately. if I'm in Australia and I win you know seven tournaments in a row Basetone says enjoy the commentary at Fox City Stream thank you I appreciate it I was really tired and it's hard to tell sometimes so I really appreciate that uh oh yeah it's a bummer so with Esther here do you expect to play George? no No, it's fine. We've been doing it a few times. Yeah, yeah. No, no, no. I'm here to read chat and enjoy everyone's company. I think it's a safe zone when it's his turn. Dr. Curly texted, damn, already planning on pillaging our Whoppers. Oh, yeah.
    13:44
    Oh, yeah. Oh, you know what we don't have right now? What do we not have, George? Well, A, we do have the hair cam, which I think is awesome. I forgot about that. Oh, yeah. Sorry, I thought it was the exclusive Escher hair cam. It is the exclusive Escher hair cam.
    14:04
    But we don't have music on right now. I'm going to throw some music on. Something off. Yes. Just like a little bit. I can't. It's the music. Uh-oh. All right. This goes out to chat. What are we listening to tonight? Are we doing 80s, 90s, or do we want... Man, if only there was a switch feature where you could run a polling shot. That's way too difficult to set up. I'm just, whoever responds first, that's what we're going with. We could also do, like, Spanish guitar.
    14:35
    Some instrumentals. Yep. So. AJR, Space Rock, the Eternal Grammy. I don't have Space Rock. MP3K, I don't like the 60s or 70s. Some, you know, jazz or something?
    14:59
    Instrumental, says Taylor. All right, we can do the Midnight or... 80s, 90s, and today. All right. I got nothing there. I don't... What people are asking for... Oh. Oh, the 1900s or the 2000s. Bass tone. That's a really good point.
    15:26
    The 2020s. Yeah, okay. There we go. We're starting off like that. Man, I might be almost world record pace to Cherry Bomb.
    15:40
    If I could actually hit the scoop. I was pretty fast to Cherry Bomb. Like, I could have been more than five minutes. That was pretty good. That was pretty efficient. And I'm in 2x playfield. which means I'm in the ultra money, but I don't have a multiplier on group. It makes things a little harder.
    16:01
    I don't know who created the poll. Was this poll hard to make? Nope or no? We're tied right now between nope and no.
    16:15
    Speed run. I think I was doing the changes thing as opposed to the cherry bomb. thing. I'm assuming that the goal there was to do the cherry bomb. No, I missed my cue but it's super. Don't know. Whoever that was, you can be timed out. Well, obviously not surreal then. Yeah. Definitely not. They would never self-report on themselves. I mean, you covered it up. So, anyway, I was talking about something or other. And all this, you know, we got raided.
    16:59
    It's an okay cherry bomb. Crazy. Anyways, this is KD2. There's some very interesting things. A couple things I want to talk about is, the main thing is Johnny Mnemonic, because I can say what it was now. I don't know if anyone remembers this, but I said that I knew of an exploit that I couldn't tell because it was too much of an exploit. Chat, do you guys remember? Does anyone remember? At least one person. It was like three weeks ago when Escher was over, he started talking about something he couldn't say. And you know what? I'm going to say it. No big deal. And he's like, wait a second. It wasn't up to you, I think, is what you were getting at to give it away. Yeah. Well, it wasn't my thing. It was Kaylee's thing. Okay. And Kaylee did it. He did it. And Kaylee did it. So I could say what it is now, which is, yeah, there was a little bit of a controversy, I guess. So I'll go through the whole thing, which was a giant mnemonic. If you're familiar with the game, it has a giant magnetic glove, which is really cool when it works. It works sometimes, not always. What's cool about the Giant Magnetic Glove is that you get to pick your selection. You would go over a 3x3 grade and drop the ball where you want it. But what is also an option that not a lot of people know about is you can actually just drop it straight back into the lock that feeds the glove. If you went ahead and started Yakuza Strike, which is a hurry up mode, you could actually just farm points infinitely with no risk by just starting the mode, dropping the ball back into the lock over and over and over and over again. And so that's what Kaylee did. Kaylee was in last place on Johnny Mnemonic and sat there farming points with no risk to come back against Jared August, Andy Bagwell, and I'm forgetting the last person, I'm sorry. But, uh, yeah, that was the thing. I didn't want to say it, not because I wanted to use it personally, but because, um, it was too good of an exploit to, you know, let everybody in on.
    19:27
    Right. So, now you guys know. Johnny and Imoni, because keep your tell. You can do it in a tournament. I don't think it's been, uh, written down in the IFPA rules yet. So go ahead and do it, but you can get DQ'd by your TD. They can just tell you that, no thanks, you know? And the way to stop that would be to just turn off the glove. Yeah, turn off the glove. Which honestly, as often as the glove is not functioning on Johnny Mnemonics, I'd imagine that might be kind of the standard. Yeah. So.
    20:14
    That's huge. That's massive. 6.5 million. Yeah. Or 96. 96 million. Aw. That would have been a 128. So do you see I finished all these modes? Yes. So everything is like crazy strobing. Oh, yeah. Okay. So that's why. Got it. Yeah, you haven't done Quill and you haven't done Nowhere, which are the only two that aren't stroking. Yeah. So anyway, yeah, go roll your local right now. Not everyone knows, but because you're a Don't Panic Flip subscriber or follower, you're in the know now.
    20:51
    Nicely done. Make sure that you subscribe to be in the know more often. By the way, don't expect being in the know from me ever. unless of course what we're talking about is something from the 90s uh oh come on, take the ball out aww something from the 90s I like that or like Harry Potter there you go, Harry Potter, the 90s I would even go so far as to say if you want to talk about recent developments in .net, let's do it I know, Iron Fox That R.I.P. Gilbert Godfrey. Yeah.
    21:38
    I saw that on Twitter this morning. That was so disappointing. Right. And great cocktails. There you go. Like, we can learn together about cocktails. Wow, that was really mean. That's all right. I got a bottle of tit-tit. Yeah. I actually intentionally drained so I would get my lanes up top. Sure. It's all part of the plan. All part of the plan. Uh oh. I'm going to get some free points. The first mode I did in one shot. I guess I drained on, what's it called? Oh, I like that feed. Give me that one. Oh, okay. That was not a nice feed. Aw. I got time. I'm in no rush.
    22:31
    Also, something that came out today is season four of Stranger Things. The teaser finally came out. Yeah, I think I saw something about that, too. This is really quick. This is a big shot.
    22:48
    This is a $400 million shot. Wow. Yeah. So that was exactly 40% of my score. Okay. Makes sense. There you go. That was, you did the... I did the math. You did it.
    23:07
    Uh-oh. I'm going to go right back to orb. Your magnet's pretty safe. Actually, it's funny. It stops working now. It worked a little bit at one point. Yeah. Wow, nice nudge there. I don't think I saved it, but if it did go bad, I think I would have saved it. I did this weird roll I wasn't... I meant, yeah. Yeah. Sure. You know, we take those.
    23:32
    Uh-oh. No, I didn't realize his mouth was open. Actually, I, you know, prepped his mouth being open.
    23:41
    I don't know, actually. No, that's... Yeah, yeah, you're good. You're good. You're fine. I just got to finish this mode and finish orb, and I'm...
    23:49
    Love loot passing. Nice. See that? Yeah. I love... Learn the loot pass. It's fun. It's not great, but damn is it fun. Really good point. Surreal, is there any updates on the kittens that you had yesterday?
    24:07
    Kittens? Yes. I didn't see that. Surreal, we got some pictures, which was great. But Surreal took in a, what's it called, cat. A... Loss bird? I don't know about loss. A cat that doesn't have an owner has a particular word. You know that thing I said about orb being the easiest thing by far? Yeah. I shouldn't have said that. No. I take it back.
    24:34
    Oh, is that immolation? Yes, it is. If I can actually hit the scoop, that was a little scary. Yeah, I saw that.
    24:42
    There it is. That's how you do it. Nice. That's part of the plan, you know. Feral? No, not feral. Sorry, when it doesn't... A stray? A stray, thank you. There we go. That's the word I was looking for. Took in a stray that was pregnant. Oh. And the cat decided to have babies yesterday. Wow.
    25:05
    So they took in a stray a while ago and then just moved in. Oh, that's pretty good. Very good. Another rate already. You've been doing it for like 10 minutes. New Jersey Coffee Junkie, my hat's off to you. Thank you. and welcome. Thank you for bringing 52 beautiful people over. Yeah, New Jersey raid, freshly brewed. I just finished having coffee, and it's 10.30 at night. Yeah, you're a little bit of a psychopath. Yeah.
    25:37
    I'm definitely buzzed right now on a little bit of caffeine. A lot of sugar, actually. It was white chocolate mocha with donut flavoring.
    25:50
    Donut flavoring? Yeah, I have donut flavoring. And it also had whipped cream in it. So New Jersey Coffee Junkie, thank you so much. And what were you streaming this evening?
    26:05
    Oh, and we need a question. We need a fun, rave question. Might be worth a lot of points. Let's see.
    26:17
    It's like a billion. And if you're just joining us, we're playing Guardians of the Galaxy. Escher here is showing us the first wizard mode. It's not a mini wizard mode. It is. It is? Okay. So it's the mini wizard mode. It's supposed to be the halfway point, but if you finish every mode on the first try, it's the same. But it's pretty hard to do that.
    26:39
    Well, after he gets out of the halfway point, he only needs to beat one more mode, and then he gets into the full wizard mode. That is actually significantly worse than this one. This is the best modem in the game, like points-wise. My best one ever is like 30 billion or something.
    26:57
    Also, just throwing it out there, Etcher is still on ball one. Well, it's technically ball one. Yeah, technically it's ball one. I have used two Etcher balls, though.
    27:11
    Minecraft from Joe's Patreon server. Oh, cool! And is this the same table you bumped? Yes, it is. I mean, speaking about Joe, Joe had this table.
    27:23
    Amen. And now he's got total nuclear annihilation. So how did the Minecraft stream go? Dr. Kredlitek, also our cat was a stray kitten, found across the street after his sister meowed at our door about 16 years ago now. Is it? I'm assuming it stopped meowing in the past 16 years. Yeah, FaceTone pointing out it is three billion to zero right now. I am losing. Well, I kind of just blundered that. I only got one super. Oh. I left the door open. Look at all these multipliers. I'm nothing with.
    28:01
    Did you take the extra lights out of the table when you got it back? Yes, I did. Kindalis, the first thing I did was took those lights out. Which actually is what did some damage. Sorry? I might have that Dr. Pepper. Go for it. I think it is. It went well. I only died once trying to fly with a trident. Been there, done that.
    28:24
    Wow, what are we doing? We're just going to play our normal game. Yeah, there's no ball block. I'm a big Minecrafter. That was my childhood.
    28:33
    I grew up on all of that. I still play all the time. Every update. get all the boys together make a new world play for three weeks straight okay what kind of lights did you take out that did damage were they like spotlights or like no no they were the what was it called the from Penn Stadium oh yeah it's just not it's not great for streaming I gotta find that was some backspin right there that was wonderful you only got into it a few years ago better late than never but that's actually where my username comes from because once again Kaylee who I just talked about gave me a shirt when I was nine that had Stevo from Champion Pub on it. Or Stevo. Which, looking back, you know, Stevo is, you know, I mean, the 1990s were a very different time for, you know, what was okay to make a pinball machine about.
    29:54
    So, uh-oh. But I didn't know that. So I was Stevo, of course, and that name was taken even back then. and I didn't know what Jackass was. I was nine.
    30:10
    But now, you know, I get it now why that name was taken. And then, so I added Pub on the end from Champion Pub. Nice, good nudge.
    30:20
    And I'm so far away from all my multiballs. Uh-oh. Seen this one before. You got it, you got it. There's that.
    30:30
    Nice. This is, that's where I want to be. Hadron there, out of ball there. What could possibly go wrong?
    30:42
    Alright, so you just need to complete orb multiball to get the save damage. I just finished orb multiball. And what, does orb multiball track progress? It does. Okay. So you said you have to get all of the shots and then actually sink it in the orb twice. Unless I just can't hit the scoop. That would be a major bummer. So I go that, then I shoot any ramp, then I do that, and then I do that, and then I miss the drop target, there we go. It's gonna be like worthless. Yeah. But I got the super, so I don't care. Okay, so Orm multiball's done. So Xandar's ready after the multiball. So I'm gonna go ahead and... New Jersey Coffee Junkie just subscribed to Tier 1 for two months. I can't believe you subscribed to Don't Panic Flip. flip. I mean, you're paying your money. You must be a billionaire if you're wasting your money watching someone else play pinball. Nice drop catch. Everyone, yeah, rest in peace. Gilbert Gottfried.
    31:53
    That was so disappointing to hear this morning. 67. And I think it was a heart attack or a heart condition? It was something that was like, you know, like it wasn't like a complete surprise. Right. It was some sort of health thing. So,
    32:12
    it's always sad to see. Long illness. Okay. Yeah. Gil, it is, yeah, Gil Jackson, yeah, I'm so sorry that we're letting you know. But yeah, that was rough news this morning.
    32:29
    In four months, we've lost three of the greatest comedians. It's like we've lost Harlan all over again. Betty White, Gilbert Gottfried, and then I'm struggling to think of a third right now.
    32:42
    When did, I feel bad that I forget his name, but from White is Kids, you know? What's that? You know White is Kids, you know? I do not.
    32:52
    Man, I'm trying to remember his name. He was, that was more of my generation of comedy. Bob Saget, thank you. Yeah. That was the guy I was thinking about. Is that the guy you were thinking of? No, it wasn't. Okay. I'm like, I would have gone with America's Funniest Home Videos, Full House.
    33:13
    America's Funniest Home Videos is like memes before memes existed. Yeah. Man, I have a lot of hate runs built up right now.
    33:25
    The Aristocrats. Yeah, the Aristocrats. The joke that both Bob Saget and Gilbert Gottfried became very popular and known for.
    33:40
    I can't really hit anything. You trying to hit Rampage? Yeah, I'm working on it. Okay. Nice. Low separation there. Or cradle separation, rather.
    33:52
    Nice and controlled. Pinball's a lot easier when you're in charge of what happens. 19... This mode has not worked very much, because I'm in 2x playfield right now, and hitting things on combos. And now I was off it with a multiplier on the Scoop. Wait, you're in Save Xandar, right? Yeah. I thought you went back into a different multi-problem. No, this is Xandar. Oh my god, you're in the final mode of the game! Yeah! Congratulations! Thank you. I've never been here before. Not coming to last stream, or that other time, or... But yeah! Welcome to the end of the game here. This looks amazing. I hope to get here myself at some point. This game. This game would be amazing. We'll both get to it. One game.
    34:39
    You're in double scoring right now. No, I just signed off. I just... I hate those nonchalant wizard modes where, like, there's no fanfare and... No, there is. You just have the music turned off. Oh, right. And then it's... Star-Lord singing, like, at the end of the first movie. like him like singing by himself like as you know power of friendship or i don remember how it ended you know what what I mean I do I meant like people not celebrating it with you Oh yeah Big shot. Go in! Get it! Get it! Get it! Go in! There it is.
    35:16
    That's it. Is that it? Oh, yeah. Then I get put in the ultra-super-single-ball-multi-ball. I'm going to go ahead and prep my group. Oh, so this is where you get to do it all over again? Yeah. But multiballs don't get easier to life.
    35:32
    Oh, and you can start working your way back into group multiball? Yeah. Okay, so this is kind of like the two-ball multiball in Star Trek. Yeah, it is, except you can't start a mode.
    35:47
    Okay, so this is where things get interesting. Oh, my God. Are you going to go back into Quill? Oh, yeah. Okay, yeah. And try to work on that, was it 40% of your score? Yeah. Uh, yeah. I could get an 80, but I think my rocket's really far away. All right, so that would be 1.6 billion right now? Yeah.
    36:05
    It's kind of stupid. Well, and then if you can bring 2x into it, can you 2x that jackpot? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So I have 2x on the scoop where you collect it. I'm going to shoot the ramp before.
    36:18
    And if I rocket, then it's another 2x. That was really cool, but it didn't give me the credit for the scoop. Yeah, face tone. I'm definitely putting Gilbert in. If I get to put him in this little thing.
    36:35
    That honestly might be like for the rest of this week. When Escher decides to leave. Oh, no. It was working. That's because it was rattling enough that it was actually letting me. So I actually don't want to finish it in the multiball.
    36:57
    Why not? Oh, wait. I have an idea. Oh, this is a dirty, dirty idea. You know what other multiplier is in the game?
    37:09
    Group multiball. I can get a 3x playfield from locking balls in groups now. Sorry, is there a jackpot still on Starlord right now? No.
    37:20
    I haven't finished it. I intentionally drained. Oh, got it. So what I'm going to do. So you want to bring Groot into it. I have two shots to go. I'm going to start Groot. I'm going to bring in a big old multiplier. Page on out.
    37:32
    Oh, I might get more than double my score. So Groot starts. Okay, Groot multiplier, rampage. I'm not bothering with rampage. It's too far away. Okay. Okay, so lock is lit.
    37:46
    I lock one ball. Gilbert did the aristocrat's joke. a few weeks after 9-11 and he won the room. Before that, everyone was kind of afraid to laugh. Yep.
    37:58
    Oh, here we go. Am I breaking? No! Okay, okay, it's fine. I still have it. Okay. There you go. I still have a lot of points. All scores, three extra 20 seconds, 2.5 bills. Whatever. No biggie. It could have been so much better, though.
    38:18
    Oh. Because I had another doubler, and it counts down really fast. So, I mean, that's not bad. It could have been better. New Jersey Coffee Junkie, have a great night. I am also hoping to get to meet you soon as well. On top of that, everyone, New Jersey Coffee Junkie streamed Minecraft earlier. If you are not following New Jersey Coffee Junkie, click the name, click the follow button. Let's make it happen. Thank you again so much for that wonderful raid. and uh yeah New Jersey Coffee Junkie are you by any chance doing the expo thing that uh so many other minecrafters are doing if you have not already left cheers yeah Taylor yeah 2.4 bill whatever but it could have been 5.2 billion expo oh so right now I think it's uh it's Joe uh Sammy and a good majority of the pinball community. But Expo is the Chicago Pinball Expo that's happening in mid-October. I think it's the 22nd.
    39:32
    I'm a big fan of that Expo. No? Okay. Expo's a lot of fun. It's a great area, and I grew up right there in Chambord.
    39:43
    Nice. I feel like I did know that. Well, regardless, New Jersey Coffee Junkie, at some point soon. Nicely done. We take those. That's how you do that. Wow. I forgot that the second time through, the timers are so much shorter. I'm not that far behind you. You've got 6.8. I've got 5.3. If you add three zeros, they're in there. Sorry, for this, look, the modes are so much shorter. You get 13 seconds for everything. What?
    40:12
    That's messed up. That is messed up. Why would they do that? I don't know. What would be funniest if you actually beat it in 13 seconds?
    40:26
    Oh, it went up. Oh, no. Yeah, it's at 40-something. Oh, no. Oh, I could have done that. Sorry. I didn't do it. Oh, 500 million bonus. That's not bad. That's not... I think. Oh. Forbidden.
    40:47
    Hey, where's the CD? Forbidden. All right, here we go. No biggie. Just... All right, remember the state. Remember the state? Where were you? What was your plan? You're in Yaka and you're locking balls. That's where you're at. That's what I... By state, you mean basically the beginning of the game. Well, you have some progress, right? And you have seven seconds left on your mode.
    41:15
    I don't think you got time. Yeah, not quite. Get there, get there, get... It was a good idea, but it was a little slow.
    41:31
    All right, let's prep. Ten times George's score in bonus? Try 100x. That's okay. I've played far more balls than he has. We'll get there. We're going to get there. This is just ball two. Yeah. You have the whole world ahead of you. As long as you don't start Groot without a mode. I'm going to start a mode. That's good.
    41:58
    I'll tie you well. Maybe. Well, you know. There's a lot of rules. I can't teach you accuracy. Yeah. That requires some practice. We're going to get there, though. We're going to find that shot and then the whole game is just going to be easy. I don't know if you needed to do all that. I think if you just held the rifle up it would have been okay. So yeah, pick pod chase here and maybe move the game back a little bit. We're going to move the game back just a hair. Just a hair. Nice save though. One danger, nice and smooth. Right? Oh, we got ready. And you hit your scoop, so... Wait, what do I do? No, I said and you hit your scoop. Oh. When you did your slide set.
    42:48
    Got it. All right, so make sure you hit your scoop again. Okay. To let your shots in punch. Right. Like that? Yeah, just like that. Perfect. Now you lock your balls in Gruden's mouth so there's less going on. Okay. Make sure... Okay, it's fine. Cool, cool. We're fine. Because 2x playfield is 2x playfield. And because you have 2x running in your podchase, you're getting double points in podchase, which is actually way more than double points because that goes to your bonus if you finish podchase.
    43:21
    Because the mode is 50% of your score, or 50% of how you did in the mode. So by you having 3x right now, you're actually getting an extra 20% or whatever.
    43:35
    You get what I'm saying? Totally. I was following all of that. I'm just really happy. All right, hit Groot right now. Big shot.
    43:42
    Aw. You want to know how much that was? Oh, you got it. That's 72 million. That's a big shot. Okay. All right, we're cool. We're cool. If you hit the Guardian's target, you can life an out of all on this dude.
    43:57
    It's okay. Your animation... No, you just skipped your animation. Your animation's acting like a pro right there.
    44:05
    Obviously intentional. Well, I mean, you didn't skip the animations. Oh, that sucks. It's cool. I got that extra ball. You did get the extra ball. I got the extra ball. It's fine. Man, it was going so well, and then it fell apart so quickly.
    44:20
    And a triple drip. Nice group multi-ball, though. 72 million supers at 72 million supers. I'm not upset. Beautiful drain, indeed. Oh, I'm still in a mode. Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how to chase.
    44:40
    Yeah, pretend it's a scoop for them. And then you totally hit it. Yeah. No. See, then you didn't do enough that time. No, not even close. It was like, is that going? No, it's going to be fine. It's going to be fine. No big deal. That is so not right. Yeah, that was when you needed to rain hell with your slides.
    45:01
    Taylor, thank you so much. Nice playing. Thank you. Uh-oh. That's trouble. Never mind. That was a clean... Is that three? It is three.
    45:29
    That's trouble. Man, I'm getting these in lanes right now. It's feeling good. You're getting what? I'm getting these in lanes. Oh, yeah. Nice. I'm a big fan of in lanes, personally.
    45:42
    Okay, that's not what I was aiming at, but once again, it was all part of the plan. And I intentionally... Nice. There we go. Okay. Very cool. I'm not missing enough to finish my mode I seen it hit that right yellow shot I okay I hit that I don't know if you saw it I did it moved a little bit oh I already got it that's why okay oh yeah it's moving all around now I see it yeah It was the superheroes. I realize now because my hate button's lit.
    46:29
    I can't believe you subscribed to Don't Panic Flip. I mean, you're paying your money. You must be a billionaire. If you're wasting your money watching someone else play pinball.
    46:50
    Bertel, thank you so much for that sub. R.I.P. Gilbert. Don't mind me. I'm just here to see what hat George is wearing today. It's this guy.
    47:02
    This has become my new de facto workout hat. Doing a little working out. Which honestly just means it has like ridiculous building up ridiculous sweat stains around the sides of it, which is why I have three different versions of the... Oh my god, you got back to Cherry Bomb. Yeah, Cherry Bomb.
    47:32
    And Escher, by the way, if you're just joining us, has looped the game, beats... Saves Andar, is sitting at 7.6 billion right now, and has just made it back to Cherry Bomb his second time through.
    47:49
    4-1 out for Gilby, I know. and Brutal commenting on it was good to watch you dominate last weekend. Thank you.
    47:59
    Nice. Not much. No multipliers anywhere to be seen. But still. Super to super, I guess. Super to super. That's a hard super to time. Yeah. Kind of like, for whatever reason, his mouth is even more. The window is really tight. And it feels like World Cup soccer. It does. But like if Cagoli was even better. Which is hard to imagine, to be honest. Yeah. Right?
    48:29
    Oh, I didn't see that there. Oh, you didn't have it. Ah! Maybe. There it is. It's open. Ah! Not quite.
    48:42
    Beat Steve Zander in one ball. Yes. But, no, it was ball two. Right? Or, no, you actually beat it on ball one? I don't remember. Okay. One of those balls.
    48:53
    Let's see here. There should be other stone fruit bombs. Like cherry bomb? Oh, yeah. Like, what's another stone fruit? Would an olive be a stone fruit? What do you mean by stone fruit? I'm guessing a cherry is a type stone fruit. Oh, yeah, because it's got a pit. Because there's a pit. Yeah, so I'm guessing an olive, like... Big fan of avocados. They're my favorite. Okay.
    49:25
    But they're not... Why is Groot... I hit you. Ooh, Bertel commenting on the fact that your dad almost joined in for the final grouping. I know. Have you guys ever been in a big tournament in the same... In the final group together? I don't know if we have.
    49:39
    We've gotten close a lot. Like, probably four or five times, but... If I'm playing well, he's usually, you know... That means that you have to beat a lot of other people.
    49:55
    Especially when I punch my ticket very quick in our group. Sorry, what does that phrase mean, you plunge your ticket? I punched my ticket. Oh. To the next one. Like, I was through. Oh, got it. Like, I was playing for fun on the last game. Now, how about this?
    50:15
    There's the being in the final group together, But have you ever gotten your dad to just, have you ever done the soul-crushing destroy to your dad? No. No? I'm afraid not. One day. I've been in groups where he's been soul-crushed. Okay. Which, you know, sucks. Because, you know, Laptops, we like, you know, we like doing well together.
    50:44
    You know, I don't want to see my dad not succeed. That makes sense. But at the same time, like, just once to be, like, put up $7 billion on Guardians of the Galaxy on Ball 1? He's used to that at home. Okay.
    50:59
    If we had a Guardian. Sammy, welcome to the stream. Two wins in a three-round setting. Fruit salad cluster bomb. There you go. I can get behind that.
    51:11
    So. Yo. There it is. Everything's all good. I should really just be playing bonus. Each bonus X is like 300 million. Because I played so many modes at high multipliers. Oh yeah, and this is one where as you complete modes, the multiplier... It's like a wild wood hit. Now how do you get bonus multipliers? You hit the Guardians of the Galaxy card that you just got flashed there. Right there. Yeah, that makes sense. And it's at the top of the screen. You spell it. It lights your mystery.
    51:48
    I never got given my third ball. Unless it's still sitting in Groot's mouth, which I don't think it is.
    51:55
    Oh. Wow, was that a loop pass with the ball? I don't know what that was. That was interesting. I'm shooting guardian targets right now. I need two more. Oh, well. Moody Mystery, this multiball is good, great, or should I say Groot? This multiball is Groot? I need to have Escher come to my place and crush my ACDC, have that machine like four years, put up some big scores, but have I never made the wizard mode? I've only been to it once ever, and it was at a friend, Nate Thompson's house.
    52:39
    His games, I would say, would be set easy, but they're not that. It's like a different level of easy. Because they hand out extra balls, like, all the time. Just, like, for free. Oh, my bonus is, like, a billion.
    52:55
    I've never finished Encore, though. But I don't think anyone has, really. I'm sure some people have. Huh. Because Encore is not easy at all.
    53:07
    You've added more time. So what is... I haven't spent much time at all on ACDC. I know you hit the ramps. Like in... That's how you get into a multiball. That's one of the... There's three multiballs in the game. One is... It starts at three sets of drop targets.
    53:24
    Uh-oh. Yeah, so there's three sets of drops that you get three sets. It doesn't have to be, like, individual ones, like two in each one. You just get three down, and then in single ball play, and it lights albums, and then it's six orbit shots, either right or left orbit. Okay. Yeah, 700 million bonus. Wow. All right. Good luck. All right. We're still in this, everyone. I have all... I've only used one extra ball. There's so many more that I have available to me. And that was much rejoicing.
    54:00
    Orbitz is a three ball. Is it a three ball? I thought album was the three ball multi-ball. I know album is a three ball multi-ball. I'm pretty sure Jammin'... I think it's Drop Tuggets is the only three ball.
    54:13
    So. Man, you're Australian. You need to get on your ACDC rules, man. You're Australian. That's like, you know, Australians love their ACDC. And Rush. Oh, no, wait. I'm thinking of Canadians. No, that's Canadians. That's what I said is Rush is to Canada as ACDC is to Australia. That's what I always say. Yeah, you hit it. And with no clicky, it's so easy. Well, not so easy. It's way easier, I should say. Play some quills. Do you have any hope of casting me? You kind of need to hold you on New York Wills. Yes. But yeah, Antiquities is up next on the roadmap.
    54:50
    Bummer. I got so close. You're going to have to put your initials in here. What should I put in for Gilbert? Just Gil? It was G... Hold on, wait a second. What were Gilbert's initials?
    55:08
    I think it was GJG. That's a good one. Yeah, G-J-G. Yep, G-J-G. Pinball Princess Jillian. Not Australian. Oz Eric, welcome to the stream.
    55:25
    Do you know how to do the 24 shot in Sibling Rivalry? I do, actually. Robert explained it to me a very long time ago. But I haven't ever gotten even close to pulling it off. I'm going first now. Yeah, you go first this time. Robert Gagno from Canada loves this game. It's probably one of his favorite games. And he found this, it wasn't like an exploit, but just a way that you could get Sibling Rivalry worth like billions. What? But it's really hard to set up, but it is awesome if you do it. I just like doing my quill quests to double my score.
    56:09
    Great game, or should I say Groot game. Nice to get away with it every time. Oh, you drained the ball in Groot's mouth.
    56:20
    You ruined everything. I'm so sorry. You have to go virtual. I'm used to it. The one I played at, what's it called?
    56:32
    District 82. I got some good District 82 stories. So I didn't ever finish talking about... I just started on antiquities. I'm getting creative, okay?
    56:43
    Be creative. Creativity is awesome. So my Turkish Voltaire story... Inconceivable! ...is I hit a Voltaire's jackpot, but instead of giving me the points, it still diverted the ball, didn't give me the points, and then I started a multi-ball like 25 seconds later, and it brought in all the ones that just climbed out for no apparent reason.
    57:09
    Birdzilla, welcome to the stream. This is the second game, yes. If you're just joining us, Escher went through and destroyed Guardians of the Galaxy in the first game. Zach, I see you in chat, ZZTop21. We need to sort out... You're going to the next District 82. I saw your name on the list. You're the reason I signed up for the next one.
    57:34
    And I'm on the waiting list right now. I wasn't planning on going back, but then when I saw that Zach Parks on the waiting list or in the queue, I'm like...
    57:43
    You know. You had to do it. Yeah. So it's 3x Groot, 2x on Ramp, 3x Rampage combo. Yeah. Are you going on your own or is your mom taking you?
    57:58
    Oh my gosh. Even though Zach Parks' mom is not my actual mom, she is my pinball mom. Okay. She takes care of me at Expo every time. Just like, oh, do you need food, Escher? Or like, how do I play? You know, she's awesome. Alyssa Parks, she's awesome.
    58:19
    Been too long since we played, I know. That's awesome. I feel like sporting events in general, you end up with a lot of that, I don't know, family camaraderie. Yeah. What else to call that? It's really cool. She's coming too? Nice. And yes, Arthur, he cleaned up.
    58:37
    Problem? Yeah, I'll try to set up the 24-hour shot. I can actually do it right here. I'm just going to do that. I'm going to do that. Okay.
    58:47
    What was up with it? There was something else to it that I'm forgetting now. I'm a big talking head, man. Okay. They were my childhood. My parents loved them. What am I doing? Sanctuary? I guess I am.
    59:00
    I'm trying to think of what I'm doing here. Interesting. I'm trying a new strategy that I've never actually tried before. Which is? The 24x sibling rivalry combos, which are...
    59:21
    You can just stack way too many multipliers at once, and it's worth billions. but it's like really hard to set up and do okay oh that was so unlucky uh DZ Top just got to play with Bowen at Pinn Baltimore which was fun oh nice I was gonna say I didn't see Bowen at um Indy it was really surprising because uh I don't play with him much anymore so I was like oh well I'll see him at the world championships but he uh he was at a different tournament at weekends. So, I never got to play with him.
    60:01
    I mean, I'm not complaining. That's another spot for me. Right. In every tournament because he always,
    60:07
    yeah, both rams have to be multiplied. Yeah, I'm working on that right now. It's hard to feed the pops. All right, so how do you multiply both rams? So, you get all five in lanes and then the next shot you hit is the multiplier.
    60:20
    And does it set it on the shot? Yes, the next shot you hit. So I have one on the left hand. Is it multiplied then for the duration of the ball? Duration of the ball. Okay. I did not know that. Really? Nope, I had no idea. That's great. I don't know if you know this, but I have not spent much time trying to play for score.
    60:41
    See, I only play for score. I realize that. I learn quite a bit in just these conversations. I believe both of them. It makes me feel any better not being able to lock my balls for real. It's actually making this game a lot harder.
    61:02
    But that's okay. That's just not making me feel better. No? No. There's a word for that, by the way. It's called schadenfreude. To enjoy the suffering that others experience, I think. Yeah, I didn't know there was a word for it. Well, of course it's the Germans, I feel like, who have all of these amazing words to describe. It's the same as, like, the French, right? Ah, yeah! More like touche and, like... No, no, no. The French have some amazing words, for sure.
    61:34
    Oh, my God. Dear Bond, I'm all for it. That's why I said it doesn't make me feel better. I want to see him hit 24X, and I want to experience and feel the sensation of 24X vicariously. We're just going to keep throwing out all the great words tonight. I'm a big fan of the Vicarious League. Yeah, Arthur Pendragon, yes, we're aware.
    61:57
    Okay, I really need to hit some rockets here. Nice. All part of the plan, as they say. Wow. Okay, I got bonus.
    62:12
    And nothing starts until I hit Groot's Mouth or a rocket. And then everything starts. Okay, that's my addable. I don't think you're supposed to boost. I don't think it matters, though. Sorry, you don't know if you're supposed to boost the upgrade. Oh, got it. From the Scoop. I might have messed it up. I cannot hit Rocket right now. I can't hit it. What's my mode timer at? 30 seconds? 30 seconds.
    62:53
    Well, it's still promising because I hit the first time. Okay, well, I'm locked in now. 24 million on Groot. Now, I see the multiplier shots.
    63:06
    Okay. You're in Rampage. that was 2.4. Oh, it rejected. That was a good shot. Okay, I have five seconds, so I can hit a few.
    63:19
    Is it at 24x right now? Yeah, it's got a... It's too laggy, I think. I was trying to spam my buttons.
    63:30
    I don't think I did it. I think it's because I cranked it up by hitting the scoop. And I used the buttons because they weren't on combo, so it was only 12x.
    63:40
    My game is lagging pretty bad, so I can fit any... I'm not ready yet. And I think you just have to combo it. I think it builds by comboing.
    63:55
    There's a lot to this strategy I don't get. Ezra is assiduously working his shots, demonstrating the clear bifurcation.
    64:05
    His skills between players. We got some okay words too, George. Berto, keep throwing them out. What was that? That was a tap pass. Was that a tap pass or did you just nudge it across? That was a tap pass. Out to you, Zach. Zach's been tap passing before it was cool.
    64:30
    They called him ZZ Tap. Uh oh. Oh. He learned the tap outs on his Twilight Zone, which is not the regular one. Like, I learned on Paragon, personally, a game where you have to tap.
    64:49
    But, uh, kind of thing. Did anything else interesting happen at the old District 82? I was there for a while. Like, it was day one, and we just finished. and it felt like I was day two of pinburg, and I'm going to finals tomorrow. It's like, this all feels good. I was really happy because I'm playing pinball, but at the same time, I'm like, damn, I need to go to bed. Well, and that's what I was about to ask. What does that look like? I mean, is it 24 hours of pinball tournaments? No, so you do, it's double match play every day. So day one, can I just hit the, rocket is my problem today. It is a really hard shot, but...
    65:34
    Oh, Bernal says, yeah, something else did happen. You played Dolly and showed you might be mortal. Man, Dolly didn't give me no chances.
    65:44
    It's probably the worst ever. Don't scare. So, yeah, Dolly kicked my ass. I feel like there's 60 new machines I'm going to have to learn how to play at Sister Case. Man, you know how to play Maiden. If you know how to play Maiden well, then you can play anything well.
    66:07
    And that's true. I believe that. So, you can play Doll. Yeah, so I booted up. I got this song from this guy I really like. He makes cool break chord music. And it's a minute long. And I said to myself, a minute is not very long and it's Dolly Parton and I'm chasing like 150k. You know? If I can survive even half of this song, I'll be happy. And are you familiar with the play field of Dolly Parton? I am not at all. Okay, so anyway, there's a scoop at the very top that's your skill shot. But on this one, it was shooting it into the left in lane every time. So it was like up here, they would kick it through the pops and it would go in lane. It was scary, but it was consistent. Okay. And the drop target with the spinner. And that's the whole game on that. So I shot the scoop, gave me an in lane, I shot the target, and it powered right out lane. And I'm like, okay.
    67:07
    Which I wasn't too worried about. Even though it was the finals, I wasn't too worried about it because it was Circus Voltaire. I love Circus. I own a Circus. I've played Circus all the time in my life. It's always been there. My dad bought it for, yeah, like two grand new in the box, you know. So it's been there. let me know if you find another one worth two grand.
    67:30
    That's not going to happen. I learned some other cool games. I learned BMX. Kind of a funny game. Ever seen that? BMX? Yeah, I've never seen it. Isn't BMX another one in Dungeons & Dragons where it has the Magna in-lane, out-lane thing? Yeah, so it closes the in-lanes and out-lanes. Yeah. Wonderful mechanic. I love it. Wonderful mechanic, but my personal favorite is that the skill shot gives you either 3x playfield, 2x playfield, or no x playfield. Or what x playfield, you know? So if your opponent hit their skill shot at the start of the ball, they would get three times your points the entire ball. And if you missed, you were screwed. So it's all about the skill shot. Yeah. So yeah, that game was cool, I learned that. Played some Pharaoh, which was pretty fun actually. I've never really gone, I played Pharaoh actually in Australia for the first time. But this one was pretty, I don't know what's a good word for it, but destroyed. to make sure it did not play along because some guy, his name starts with Keith and ends with Elwin, decided to play it for, you know, ten minutes too long.
    68:49
    And they had to put lightning flippers on it. Wow, okay. So it played pretty hard. And they just pulled Swords of Fury all together.
    69:00
    Well... That was a bummer. I love it. The company that did Rudy's Nightmare, the upgrade to Funhaus evidently has another five licenses that they're working out. Really? Yes. So actually I don't know what Rudy's Nightmare is. Oh, so Funhaus got basically a whole new code base and also an upgraded component that goes under the play field that puts an LCD in the play field and a whole new LCD for the back. So it makes Funhaus like a new game. that's great but i'm a big i love fun house personally you know fun house is scary i don't understand it is really funny because i work at an arcade right and so i see every type of person walk in and there's i don't know what year it is but there is a year where people both my age and your age find fun house to be terrifying it is and then you grew up watching poltergeist you find it terrifying I feel like Yeah something like that Because there this whole generation like oh that so cool Like no it not cool He always watching you know it heads out on the back glass Is he alive question mark That's that's the value. That's the fun house. It doesn't seem like a very fun house
    70:24
    It's it's a scary fun house. Yes. He's look Zack is my age and he said it's terrifying I agree. It is terrifying. Nah, see, Vertzilla missed it. He's the weird millennial, like, where he's in between. He's in between us, right?
    70:42
    I mean, he's definitely leaning more towards me than he is you, but he's still in between. What was that? Was that a tap-tap save? That was a panic flip. Okay. On don't panic flip.
    70:55
    So another episode of Escher makes us wonder why we even bother playing pinball. Not gonna lie, that thought has definitely crossed my mind somewhat recently. Come on, I'm trying to... Yeah, no, but that's what I'm saying. I was born in 82, so I got to see... Old man. Oh my God.
    71:18
    I got to see Poltergeist when I was like eight years old, and it scarred me. I saw Alien when I was seven. Okay, yeah, I got to see Aliens, I think, first. I don't remember Alien. I remember realizing at a certain point that I should not watch Pet Sematary because I got scared very easily, and that was the first time I ever walked away. And my family, my grandfather, who is alive today, still gives me crap for not watching Pet Sematary with the family. And what's funny is my brother to this day thinks that it's the most scary film he's ever seen in his entire life. So I think it has everything to do with the timing of when you watched it. If you didn't watch Poltergeist when you were very young, I don't think you'll find it scary.
    72:04
    Arthur Pendragon was 14 in 82. Man, there's a lot of... All you old people. I'm afraid of no clouds. Get off my lawn! Get off my lawn, man! Oh, he's locked two balls. That was great, yeah. Oh, and it's been a bad guy. It's not great, because he's already had one ball locked and zero balls locked. But, it's okay. I'm complaining, but, you know.
    72:31
    My name is Leftoff. I have to complain. That's part of being named Leftoff. There we go. Basetone. Tremors rocked the heat out of me. Basetone. See, I was too old for Tremors. I thought it was hilarious. I watched Tremors with my dad not that long ago. I thought it was hilarious.
    72:50
    Yeah, Arthur Pintragon. Not old. You are wise. That's what old people are. that an oldie would say. That was all right.
    73:02
    But, uh... Man, there's a lot of... There's, like, two balls in there when there's only supposed to be not even one.
    73:13
    So... Yeah, it's funny. I remember I, like, couldn't sleep. I was, like, you know, tired. And I came down, and my dad was watching something random on TV, and it was Tremors. And he's like, this was supposed to be scary in my generation. I'm like, oh, okay, and I watched it. And, like, it wasn't that scary. Well, I mean, of course, it hasn't aged the best. No. I'll be honest.
    73:38
    But it was funny enough that I remembered it even now. Are you trying to rampage before you grab the super? No, I'm just trying to hit the right ramp because it's a combo then. Right. So if I do that first, it's 2x. It's 2x more. Oh, did you collect it using the page arms? Yeah, using the page arms. Because it's only the major supers you can collect with page arms. The mini supers you can.
    74:05
    So. Any bigger shovel. That was like five or six. I don't trust the ground-based stones. But that is exactly what I'm talking about. If you were five or six, and that was like, you know, the best you guys had at that point, by effects-wise, then yeah, I get it. All right. This is a really good conversation here. Yes, Mr. Hardluck, we have paid our respects. Escher put in at least one set of initials as Gilbert Gottfried. But yeah, with subs, I think we've commented several times. Yeah.
    74:48
    I'm doing this in an awesome way. He just shats back and forth. What? Yeah, well, you've got to do your in lanes, so you know.
    74:59
    Oh, my God. I just want to do that now. Mr. Hardlock, are you and QDL potentially coming out to Expo next year? I can't remember. I know we talked about it.
    75:17
    Uh-oh. This mode sucks because you absolutely have to shoot Rocket. There is no other way around it. It does. You can backhand it.
    75:29
    Oh, that you robbed. Sir, robbed. Game Club Central, Marty, how you doing? Have we paid our respects to Mr. Hardluck and wiped the floor with that clown? Mr. Hardluck gave, oh my God, twice. I don't know if I'm right. Borg, you did that. I blame you, Borg. Mr. Hardlock did a great intro for Game Club Central. He did a very heavily focused and choreographed and produced battle that was very WWE focused. Yeah. All right.
    76:07
    Isn't there an exploit to not hit Rocket, or was it patched? Asks Ty. I don't know. I'm sure there was. Oh my god I would like to know what You can backhand it I tried I didn't hit it This sucks Yeah There it is Nicely done Oh, Emulation's ready Yeah, ZZ Top That was a beautiful tap Two taps, actually I tried it twice I'm going to do the mini post pass With backhands One more time You got this. A little bit further up towards the edge of the flipper. That was a little too hard.
    76:51
    I mean, I could just post pass, but where's the fun in that? Well, I was in double. I thought I, okay.
    76:59
    The ZZ tap. Oh, yeah. His are cleaner than mine. Tiny Mills, welcome to the stream. Thank you so much for that, Frollo. My hat's off to you over here.
    77:15
    I love this mode. This mode's awesome. Because it's worth so many points. That's why I love it. No other reason, but I need to really make sure I lock it in on group here. That's where the super is.
    77:33
    Now, I don't feel like I've played this enough to really remember it, but the difference in coding, Like, there's a lot of points here, but this is missing in my very humble of opinion.
    77:49
    What Dwight does for these mini wizard modes. This was, yeah. This is Dwight's game. No, this wasn't Dwight. Wow, that was like the worst emulation of all time. Was this Lonnie Ropp or Dwight?
    78:04
    Someone took over halfway, I know that much. Oh, okay. This game sucked really bad at the start. No offense to whoever programmed it first, but whoever did it second did a very good job. Right, like the rules were actually dialed in. I remember when this game came out. I remember Super Spinner on the Pro. That was my favorite, where you would finish Dibbling Rivalry, I ran for shooting mode, and you would get Super Spinner on a game that doesn't have a spinner.
    78:31
    That was pretty good. Try to tilt. Welcome to the stream. ZZ Top, I'm out of practice. Now Dalton is obsessed with tap passes. He may have overtaken me.
    78:43
    This is weird because my dad said he was watching him play, what's it called? Twilight Zone. No, Paragon. A game that you have to tap on, but he wasn't tapping. Like Dalton.
    78:57
    Dude, I suck. You got it. I just wasted like $600 million by hitting that button. Oh. Yeah, you should have left it. I know. So that way you can get the 40%. I know, George, I know. No, no, no, but I know now. I'm reiterating it not to remind you, but to, like, affirm my understanding of the situation.
    79:15
    There we go. Yeah, we're just going to finish this. I'm going to run to the bathroom real quick, but... Make sure you mute. Yeah, I will. It better not be green when I come back here, chat. Let's swap up the color.
    79:29
    Swap up the color, guys. Or is it only you that can do that? Nope. Chat can... Oh, so yeah, by the way, I've got all of the lights hooked up. So if you do exclamation point color space and then use a hex color, so hashtag and then six characters of hex. Yeah, you can make up whatever. But if you do that, now it changes all of the lights.
    79:55
    What do I want to do? I want to hit mode select. Mode select. There we go. We're going to do some antiquities.
    80:23
    All right, that works. There we go. Don't forget your hashtag. Yeah, you do need the hashtag. I'm not sure why that was so hard.
    80:54
    Um, there we go. Oh my God. Not doing it. Because that's cheating. There you go. No, it's not cheating. It's totally cheating. It's legitimate. It is. I'm going to get home.
    81:15
    Nadia, what did you do? I think I saw something Zach said. I'm going to put my mic back on. Wow, excellent. All caps on the color there. You got it. There you go. Yeah, and I got to change it up right now because I don't know how in a batch script to run asynchronous calls to the command prompt. I guess I could Google that really quick. Tron Orange.
    81:42
    I'm going to start this mode like a champ. You ready? Oh, I missed. It's not a full point. I was there with you. I know.
    81:52
    Are you back to save Xandar? Yeah. Again. Why can't you just do this, George? I will. I feel like what I need is... 24 hours stream until you... Yeah. Do a sub-a-thon until you...
    82:11
    I'm at about 1,000 hours of, I think, pinball playtime. Global? Huh? Like ever? Yes, total. And I'm guessing you are way past your 10,000. I'm way past my 10,000. You're way past. It's not even close. Four years old is when you started. Is that right? I was less than two when I was already thinking about it.
    82:34
    Pertilla. Really? It got really dark in here. Oh, that's right. I'm just going to look up how to do asynchronous commands.
    82:55
    Batch script. Wow, this is a cool cradle. Look at that. Dream tree. Nice. That's not a crazy snake, though. Do you have a name for it? Not that one. I'm going to let that one go. If you have four or five on one, and they are crooked, like not... Wow. I'm just letting all these... Who needs six balls? I suck.
    83:25
    I need to get 2x on my scoop. Tracy, welcome to the stream. You got to do the hashtag, Tracy. There you go. That was a save.
    83:40
    And that's the thing is that it goes through one at a time. Hello. It goes through one at a time and does them. Although those two aren't coming back on.
    83:55
    Me one. I saw the story that Zach Parks put in chat where he got invited to play this on release on Deadfootstream and he got to emulation but it wasn't coded yet so they had to subtly tell him to drain so the game wouldn't crash. Okay so you go like that, hit the button like that and you break the shot a bunch. Using the start.
    84:34
    Oh, so I say start, and it should run them all at the same time. Okay, we're going to try that. We're going to go in here and modify the batch script, because I have the ability, I have the time to do that.
    84:50
    Let's go to go be batch script. There we go. How much is that? Open this with code. 400 million. That's okay.
    85:00
    See, like, save Xandar is worthless. It's like 680 million. Like, I have had cherry bombs worth like triple that. But it's not like you can keep going and you save Xandar.
    85:12
    How do we do that? Let's do it. It's easy as that. You know, I got my friend to do all that for me. And I did anything with it.
    85:23
    I was actually the friend I just got ice cream with before I came here. Ah. Is your programming friend? I have a lot of programming friends. It was just the programming friend that was around that afternoon. Ah. Not even a special programming friend. That was just the programming friend you happened to be hanging out with. Yep.
    85:47
    So. All these programmers, man. Boring job. It is a super fun job. Kind of. You literally make the things in your mind into a reality. It's the best of jobs. Yeah. But can you hold code in your hand? It's funny. I didn't realize the concept of debugging for two years. So the way that I debugged applications was by building a construct in my head as I read the code and walking through it. That was not bad. Let's see. How much is this going to cost? That's not bad. It's over a billion. Yeah, 953.
    86:26
    Yeah, I know. Pro games for nerds. True. You hit an orb super for like 1.8 billion against some guy at Expo that one time.
    86:39
    It worked! Oh my god, it just opened up like 30 windows at once. I was going to say, that didn't look like it worked initially. Oh man, that works so well. Wow. Okay, check this out. So before, if you remember, everyone in chat. spam colors. Doesn't matter what color, even if you don't want it. Get two colors and go back and forth. Let's just get it moving in here. Let's get it moving. That was so cool. It goes so much faster. You guys can watch all of these commands up right here on this screen. Uh-oh. Crust. Oh, you have to do exclamation point color. I think you also have to be a follower. Just FYI. Hey, Sentient Program. Amazing name.
    87:27
    I think I'll do the same as last time. Look at all of those windows opening up at once. That's so great.
    87:38
    Another GJG. Oh my goodness. Look at the going. That's so great. The car. Oh my god. Let's do this. Alright, everyone. and a hashtag with a let's get it moving in here keep it going Macaw coming in with 500 people on an amazing raid Macaw my hat's off to you I took my hat off your actual hat off you don't usually have a hat on thank you so much for that huge raid and if you're just joining us in one of the holy cheat balls hashtag effing wasted thumbtack. Thank you.
    88:21
    Yeah, on top of that, you guys can see... Yeah, so you can't see it right now, but it's going crazy. Oh, my God.
    88:31
    You can see what's happening here. Oh, yeah, you can't see it now, yeah. You can actually see it all happening over here. What's going on is chat can control all the lights in the house. If you're a follower, you can do exclamation point color space. Thank you, Verzilla. Yeah, turning the lights off. Yeah, whatever. There you go. There you go, yeah. Pog, Poggets, exclamation point, color, space, and then if you do a hexadecimal value with an aft tag. I'm going to get started. Yeah, you go ahead. I'm enjoying this right now. Yeah, yeah, you do. Oh, my God. There's so many windows opening, and what we found out was it was taking too long earlier, so now there's seven different lights we're controlling, and I can start if a back script is running but if we start the back script with a start word it runs all of the commands in secret 95 green bar welcome a lot going on right now yeah so what we've got this evening if you're just joining us and if you are perhaps new to pinball is by the way my hat's off to you and everyone If you were here watching before that massive raid and you are not following Macaw, please do so. Wonderful entertainer, plays all of the games, and like competitive levels of just awesomeness in terms of beating every game it seems like Macaw plays every single time. I am curious, was tonight focused on a game on Macaw's stream, or was it a night of random game scene play, like a game roulette?
    90:14
    Oh, and yeah, by the way, so for guests, if you're just joining us, this over here is Escher. Hello. Escher's played pinball a couple of times. They have won a couple of big tournaments. In fact, even this weekend. Two days ago, even. Two days ago. And if I remember correctly, you've moved up in the rankings. Yeah, I'm now ranked second in the world. So the number two pinball player in the world right now. And has shown everything this game could possibly do now twice, I think. Almost. I missed the one really, really hard thing I've never done before, but we don't count that. Yeah. Just, you know, Escher destroys pinball games. Christy, welcome. Noodle, welcome. Rocket Man, hey, how's it going? He's doing a religious theme month, and he played a Mormon PC adventure game tonight. That's awesome. Christy, what was the Mormon-themed adventure game called? That was a new sentence right there for me. Yeah. At least Mormon-themed... I was unaware that there were so many religious-themed Eastie adventure games.
    91:25
    Yeah, man. I mean, that said, I mean, of all of... Actually, there's quite a bit of story in all of them, but I do feel like Mormon presents itself to be quite a fun video game, I'm guessing. Just based on the storyline. It was Nephi's quest, okay?
    91:48
    The Noah's Ark themed Wolfenstein 3D clone, okay? That's, again, another sentence that has never been said ever before.
    91:58
    Vertzilla pointing out that his Mormon friend from high school got to play Diablo because in the game your goal is to kill the devil. Desiati says we cut a freaking drunk dude's head off with his own sword because the Lord told us to damn that's harsh and let's see here oh man so Rorty the Kitty range four hatless king ad horse noodle dragoon zero thank you so much all for those follows that is amazing and welcome here to I guess what we call this is the panic room.
    92:42
    Do I go for the doubler? I got to go for the doubler. You got it. Well, not a good start. You can't see it. Oh, all right. Well, no doubler, bud.
    92:53
    You can't see on the screen, but his mouth, Groot's mouth is opening and closing. Makes it a little trickier. Hey, a lovable grub. Thank you so much for that follow.
    93:04
    Oh, my gosh. By the way, let me change the colors. I'm just blown away by how many windows now. Good thing that you got it working right before. That was great. Yeah, the colors are changing very fast. I think actually, because I didn't put a delay on the commands, you notice we have a whole bunch of different lights right now. I think it's because they run so asynchronously, they don't even all happen at the same time anymore.
    93:31
    Rock music pinball time. Thank you so much for that, Paulo. And Snivy Tries throwing down a little bit of a poem here for us. So here we see the MC Ash kicking some butt and keeping it fresh. Staying, slaying the table, clearing the modes. He makes the shots. He knows the roads. Might as well go get a drink. Poor DPF has time to think. And oh, dear God, the follow flood. This stream's the bomb. It ain't no dud. Hope you all have your fun. George makes content. He'll give a ton. Nyby, thank you so much.
    94:07
    Pinball is greater than a morsel. No comment. Dem and craze. It's so cool. I love it when Windows pop up and do things. I have been a developer for, I don't know how many years. A year or two. 2009 is when I started, so 13 years. So I've been a pinball player longer than you've been a developer. You have been a pinball, yeah. No, I started off as a network administrator. That's what I got my degree in. And my boss one day asked me, like, hey, do you want to write code? I'm like, actually, I kind of do. I really enjoyed that class I took in school. And he said, okay, you've got two weeks to write me a real-time diagnostic engine with live data as it's coming in in batches for a whole bunch of air conditioning equipment.
    95:00
    That's quite the task for knowing. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. So what I did was what I feel like I always did whenever I needed to learn something new. You drank a lot of coffee and then did it. Yes. Actually, that's pretty much it. I went to Barnes & Noble in Fort Collins. Oh, yeah? Yeah. And I just sat at Barnes & Noble for both weekends across two weekends. I did not get it done in two weeks. That's a massive thought. I got it done in 16 days. So I was two days late. He still gave me the job. That was like a 600 million orb super. That was awesome. Wow, you worked. I was in 2x playfield with Rocket. I hit a combo, and it's 2x. Are you still working on the 24x?
    95:49
    No. Okay. No, no, no. You're just blowing up the game at this point. Yeah. Let's see. I can do another gigantic one here. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Sammy, whoa. What do you mean rest in peace, Barnes & Noble? I still, to this day, go to that Barnes & Noble at least once a week. What is that? That was $756 million. Wow.
    96:10
    That's a Zach Parks kind of orb right there. I'd say, oh, yeah, orb total, $1.5 million. Wow. Guys, a good...
    96:21
    Nice. A double danger. A good score on this game was typically between maybe $200 and $400 million. Damn. I was one pot bumper away. Oh my god, Secrets, you guys, stop saying Rest in Peace, Barnes & Noble. Like, that is... I spend a lot of time still at Barnes & Noble. They own... It must have been very recent if they went out. I went with my girlfriend when she was... My roommate went with her.
    96:52
    I was working. Okay. Rest in Noble's barn. It was borders that did die, correct. All right, so now you are in the first mini wizard mode. Yeah. Okay.
    97:12
    Christy, my experience with programming is basic programming in the 80s when I was a kid and reverse engineering a Last.fm Python script so it would work in Linux. My God, wait a second. Python was around in the 80s? That, for some reason, doesn't surprise me. That's kind of crazy, because the first thing that you learn now is Python. It is Python, which is so funny, because it was... Timball isn't Python, or it used to be. I don't know if it still is. Stern does everything, and I'm guessing C++ does, right? I don't know. I mean, you know, I may work there, but that's not my job. Okay. I'm not sure. So I'm fairly certain that Stern is doing everything in C++ still. I would assume that, yeah. They have custom hardware. But all of the open source stuff like Scorbit and the P3 platform, they all use Python and the P3 platform, at least with Multimorphic, actually utilizes Unity to build games with their system. God, I love this mode.
    98:22
    Okay, the Python editing was in the 2000s. Got it. Okay, I'm there. I'm caught back up. Well, yeah, Python was around. There's also Cobra, Rattlers, Garden, and the most elusive of the sneaky snakes.
    98:35
    Secret squirrel. Thank you. Barnes & Noble has been closed for 14 years, George. You've been seeing dead people in an empty warehouse.
    98:45
    Oh, good. It's not your turn yet. It's not my turn. I'm still at zero. I have another extra ball. Okay, got it, got it. So, I'm sorry, you got some time still.
    98:56
    Mission pinball framework is Python, yeah. So, I feel like how that started was Python and R. And I don't mean, like, I mean, I guess it is a pirate's R. But R is a, like, an SDK, kind of, or, like, a library that, for whatever reason, was built for Python and used for statistics calculations, and it's great.
    99:23
    And it ended up getting used for all kinds of, like, data science stuff in the academic world. So academics started using Python, and that means that Python had to become more than a scripting language. It became this, like, somewhat fully featured framework that now everybody who comes out of college knows how to program in. Python went from nothing, I feel like, to super popular. Like 30 minutes ago, I was like, oh, yeah, coding isn't for nerds. And then you, like, relay, like, the entire history. No, Python, sorry, coding is definitely for nerds. Yeah. Well, I'm a nerd then, too, because I've taken my fair share of coding classes. I'm not good at it. Sitting still is not my forte. I wish it was. Wait, it wasn't that it was nerds. It was that coding, I think, man, I don't remember the actual phrasing, but coding is amazing because you get to develop something in your mind. Like, you have an idea, and then you get to turn it into something, but you don't have to do any physical work. In construction, you do the same thing, but you have to build a house, and that requires being muscular and being outside. Or having enough money that you pay someone else to do it for you. Right, right, yes. All of that. Oh, that would have been so cool. Oh, man, that would have been awesome. I was trying to do that, too. No! Sorry, I have an extra. Okay, you got one more. I got time. So you can do that in code. You design structures, and then you do fun things where programs are doing stuff by themselves. It's so amazing. Sammy Higgins, that's also an architect, actually would have been really cool.
    100:57
    Hey, Beastedon, welcome to the stream. Thank you very much for that, Paulo. What's everyone's favorite sub-title? Bert Zillis saying, R is not Python-based. I have only ever read about R as it relates to being used in Python. What's your favorite dinosaur? The ankylosaur, obviously. I feel like I bought this up before. Because I got something Don in his name, and then I'm like, that sounds like a dinosaur. Then I remember that people don't ask me what my favorite dinosaur is anymore. Well, I was just about to say, I don't get asked often enough what my favorite dinosaur is. I know. When I was six, I got asked it all the time. Wasn't it so important when you were six?
    101:42
    It wasn't that insane. I thought it was cooler. More points, that is. The Don. Barney is the best dinosaur. All right, this one goes out to everybody else.
    101:52
    You know, no offense to Barney or anything, but there is definitely some cooler dinosaurs than Barney. That was crazy, I think. Wow, nice little backflip there.
    102:02
    Oh, yeah, wow, good timing on that. Good timing, yeah. Yeah, so Wirebowl. R is a language for... Oh, wait, wait, wait. That was a big shot. It's a language for statistical jobs, so it's very popular among data scientists. 320.
    102:15
    Nice. My orbs have been... Your orbs have been killing it, as long as you don't count the first game. Yeah, that shot was more than all of Mike Cherrybaum's. However, it's complicated to use, so Python has become more popular because it has a huge suite of data science tools, such as NumPy, which, by the way, is now my new favorite word. NumPy.
    102:40
    Trot Zero. Wait a second. Best dinosaur is Arthur Pintragon. Virgil. Wow. Who did that? I hope Arthur did that. He was in earlier, I appreciate it. Oh, yeah, yeah. When he was talking about us all being babies. Or something like that. I'm dead.
    103:01
    It's your turn. According to my friend who went into architecture, their job is shooting down all the insane stuff the arts majors try to build for structural reasons.
    103:09
    Consultants. They don't shoot down enough from what I can tell. Some of the architecture I've seen in major cities. All right, so I'm doing it. Ball one. You got quite a score to catch, but I believe in you. Thank you.
    103:29
    It's cool. If you don't use the shoot again, what's the point? Exactly. It's there for a reason. George gets to play. That's nice. Yeah, and I only left, like, two balls in group. Or one ball in group. It's fine. Okay, he used his ball save, so it's like the same thing.
    103:55
    Okay. I know. Mr. Hardlock, I got to play for, like, 30 seconds. Num Pie. Got it. Two words. Now, my biggest issue with Python is the most horrific package management system ever for a language. Like, we all need to get that under control, because moving between environments, like deploying anything in Python to multiple environments using PyCharm or, I'm sorry, Anaconda or something like that, is just when you've experienced a language like C Sharp and Visual Studio with NuGet package management or even something as simple as JavaScript and how easy it can be to manage packages and configurations, I'm just, I dislike it. But that also could be because I have not spent any real time developing in Python. All of my Python development is with the academics who are trying to do statistical and data science analysis on things, who never really learned how to program professionally. Well, you're saying words right now. I not getting this I so lost In a professional environment programming is so it almost has nothing to do with like how do you do something
    105:23
    You'll figure that out. How do you do it in a way that makes it easy to test and easy to make changes to later when you inevitably move on to a better job and somebody else has to pick up after you? Someone has to pick up the pieces that they don't know the answer to. Yeah, bad code. Basically, like all code written in the 80s and 70s, only the programmer who wrote it initially knew what had to happen in order to change it, which is why so many applications were rewritten from the ground up. You got this. Nicely done. What is it? 1.2, Bill. Oh, that was the 40%. Nice. Sorry, 1,203 million. And an emulation as well. And Xandar is ready after.
    106:09
    Wow. I'm in good shape. You're doing pretty well. Yeah. I'm liking my tension just here. Yeah, Pinball Princess Jillian, who I know is also a developer. And I think, Jillian, you decided to give up on the development. You're like, I want to work in infrastructure. That's way more fun. Man, I want to program the traffic lights. I also... That's a cool job. That is such a cool job. Do you know they have an algorithm specifically to figure out the most efficient way for traffic to operate? I'm sure. I mean, it's kind of crazy how good they are at it. Like, I don't know if there's much I could do anymore. They're still good at their job. They are pretty good. At this point, honestly, I feel like it's hardware upgrades. And as the lights themselves provide more feedback, making changes. Yeah.
    107:00
    So, honestly, it's like working with city planners, I feel like. Which would be my other cool job I'd want to do. why is it easier to manage packages the more often the dependencies break or a big shot incoming i think that means by the way here we go if the dependencies break often it means that you you've been given the capacity by business to actually solve the problem as opposed to just constantly dealing with the the symptoms that's if i had to get just the actual solution is there. Mr. Hardbox says, I want to have Escher play pinball on a stream where the tilt-bob has been disabled and I'm just kicking the machine every few seconds. That is basically at... Sorry, what's the side tournament that's really silly and super fun at Expo? Where they do things like you have to play a game on a spinning disc?
    107:58
    I don't know. Exactly. Like like the Adam's family where you have to pedal for the power? Yeah, but it's an entire tournament just like that where it's like 18 holes.
    108:10
    Oh, I'm not sure. I don't think I've played in that, but I think I know what you're talking about. Like I've heard about something like that. It is super cool, and Mr. Hardlock, that does exist. The problem is that... Big shot. There is... Oh, my multiplayer.
    108:27
    That's all. That's fine. Standard's ready to go. I can skill shot into it. Yeah, Wirebowl, which is funny because one of my clients, we have integration with Jupyter through a Python extensible system.
    108:44
    Hold on. There we go. Pinball Olympics. Thank you for telling us. Yes, I've heard of that before. I've never played in it. I just remember the pedal game where you have to pedal to keep power to Adam's family. for the whirlwind with the industrial fan. That one hits different.
    109:06
    Have you seen that one? No. So, you know, those industrial fans do their job really well of blowing a lot of air very quickly. And when, you know, multiball is ready, it turns on, you know, your hair goes back, it gets a little harder to see, you know, like your skin starts getting pushed back a little bit. Wait. It's in Whirlwind, right? Oh, Whirlwind. No. Oh, wait. It's an industrial fan at the top. In Pinball Olympics? No, it was at Expo. Oh, got one here. Like, somebody dialed it up to a 20. That is split-slipper joust tournament with no tilt-off. Man, joust is such a heavy game. That would be hard to do anything anyways. Wouldn't it be crazy if I, like, just missed Xandar eight times at a drain? Okay, never mind. That moves so much. Yeah, I'm three for three.
    109:58
    Nicely done. Oh, my God. Saves Dandar three times. I just want to get there once, and then I'm going to get rid of this game. Oh, no, no. I am positive that I will get there.
    110:11
    You see that game that come together? I'm sorry? You see that perfect game that come together? It doesn't even need to be perfect. No, it's not even that. I got to Immolation Initiative last week, and if I knew what I was doing in Groot to get the super, I think it would have been easy peasy. Yeah. I mean, that's some of the hard part is you've got to know what exactly you're doing.
    110:35
    That's nice. It just did not suck. Isn't that pinball, though? That's life. Yeah. Deep thoughts. Indeed.
    110:50
    Oh, they put a leaf. All Georgia's games total are almost one of Escher's games. Oh, yeah, fertile. No question. I haven't totaled one of extra teams yet.
    111:00
    Go in the scoop. I will use my bundle out of all, so I'm happy to split in a few of these goes. As long as I get that 2x on the scoop. Because that's the final shot. Cool.
    111:14
    Get my out of all. It's pretty hard to fail. Because you have to hit every shot three times, but after you hit a shot three times, it adds another ball, and that gives you like ten seconds of balls there. Oh, nice. So if you see it strobing like Rocket is, right, or the right ramp, Gamora, that means it's prepped for an add-a-ball. And your Hadrons go left to right. So I have a Hadron right now. So if I hit it, it'll spot Ronin, which is an add-a-ball. So I can kind of just chill for a bit.
    111:44
    Or I can... Colonel, thank you so much. It says, good news, George, you're just a comma behind you. Well, if you got an Aracama, you would be ahead, to be fair.
    112:00
    Very true. Is Escher coming tomorrow? I'm bringing tacos. Come for the meat. Ooh, free food is free food.
    112:11
    Oops. I need to, like, nudge the ball so they're... Yeah, okay, we're good. Then you short plunge, and then you slide catch. On a completely unrelated topic, what's a reasonable price for a Lord of the Rings in Australia? Hoping there's some locals around. There are. He started with a reasonable score, a reasonable price. He's like, okay, I can help with that. Then he said Lord of the Rings. I'm like, oh, shit, I haven't thought about Lord of the Rings in a long time. Then he added the Australia part. It was like, oh, I'm in the dark.
    112:44
    Right. So, I can say in the U.S. that Lord of the Rings is going for typically between 9 and 10, if it's in okay condition. A really good one, probably going for a lot more, and that's also standard, not the gold LE thing. What?
    113:07
    This is LE. Yes. It has the gold trim nicely done. Smells a little better. 800. Oh, because he had the two-ounce. I had Trix Playfield, yeah. Good old Rocket.
    113:24
    Yeah, gold trim and a crazy back glass as opposed to a tram toy. Oh, yeah, I've seen one of those. It's like the other Spider-Man, the Black Spider-Man edition. You seen one of those?
    113:37
    Which one? It's just like a Spider-Man, but the back glass is like the Venom Spider-Man. Oh, a black Spider-Man as opposed to the regular red one. Where he's wearing the Venom suit. Yes, which is interesting because it's rated lower, but they sell for more money. Yeah. You can buy the Translight and pretend, but... I've only ever seen one at Chicago Expo.
    114:10
    Here's a nice little tap pass. Gollum, are you in chat? Mr. Hardluck, Astro can F off with that jackpot. 800 million. My reward was more than that.
    114:23
    That is true, right? You had 1.3 billion on the good one? Oh, yeah. I'm trying to keep my rocket going. Ooh.
    114:35
    Uh, Wireball, I found taking US prices and doubling gets you roughly Australia prices for some games. Yeah. Well, you're not counting currency exchange. Yeah. Right.
    114:46
    That's a good estimate, actually. So maybe 20k for Lord of the Rings in Australia? Yeah. Okay, this is a massive shot.
    114:56
    Oh my goodness. Bam! Whoa! There's six billion. Six billion. Oh. Wow. Okay. That's a PPM right there. Points per minute.
    115:12
    Damn. Imagine a Wizard Mode 2X jackpot being worth less than any other shot. Yeah, right? Well, yeah. I mean, that was the most valuable shot that I've done so far. That was $6 billion.
    115:23
    Which was 80% of my score. Because there was 2X, 2X, 2X, which is, yeah. Mr. Hardluck is quitting pinball. What? What are you doing?
    115:35
    I was like, that's a good boom. See, it happened so fast that I didn't have time to do the math in my head to realize how important this shot was. You know? Because if I thought about it, I'm like, wow, this is huge. You know?
    115:54
    You know. Yeah, huge. Yeah, so the only thing you should be doing right now is beating the game over again and get us back into Quill's Quest again. It's not a bad shot. Oh, my God, yeah, 2X. Wait, is the percentage multiplied? Yeah, it had to be multiplied. It's usually 10% of my score. So my 10% of my score before that was, like, you know, 600 million. Like, it was a lot. And then I had a 2X shot multiplier, which was a little green X on it. I hit a combo, which is 2X, and I had Rocket going. So it was 2 times 2 times 2, which is 8. So then times 10% is 80%. More than George with every flip he's ever made on... That's a... No, that's probably accurate, I think. Six billion is a lot.
    116:48
    I think I have broke a billion twice on this game. Gotta get your PPM up. You're not wrong. Ooh, I could... No, I don't have the right multipliers. Maybe I'm trying to do the sizzling rivalry thing. But my rocket's probably like ten shots away.
    117:10
    Hey, Wireable, thank you so much for that follow. Gotta work on that big PPM. Oh, yeah. I need to work on just getting into a flow.
    117:27
    That's good. But playing enough pinball that you don't have to think about everything you do. Yes, fertile. My BPM is very small right now. Actually, it is never good in any game I play.
    117:42
    Hey, Mr. Hardluck and QDL, thank you so much for hanging out. Have a great night. All right, good luck. Get to sleep.
    117:49
    Fourteen. I'm not liking your chances this game, I'm afraid. I'm doing it. I got this. Have faith in... in something. Vegas, I'm afraid, does not. If you bet $1 on George, you get a million and a half bad. That's good odds.
    118:11
    I'm lucky. I don't think I could even lose the ball at a more worse time. That was just after. Hey, by the way. One more. We got one more. Yeah, we do.
    118:26
    Oh, Gilbert. I'd rather take my dollar to White Castle. We don't have White Castles here. I didn't even get to eat at White Castle because I thought they were in Wisconsin. You were in Wisconsin. I thought they had them there, but we kept going and there was no White Castle. We had to eat at Arby's. It was terrible. Oh, my God. No. Yeah. What else? Culver's is huge out there. Culver's has great food. Yeah, we didn't go there. We got our fish-o-filets from McDonald's. Then I got an ad on my YouTube that night from Arby's where it says, Stop eating fish-o-filets. Try R. Like, okay, targeted advertisement. You did wonders today. Yeah. That was maybe too good. Because I was like, just finish my official play.
    119:09
    All right. I'm going to go first. All right. You want me? I'll do a one-handed game. Okay. You go one-handed. See if I can get four saves in or in a row.
    119:18
    The best part of pinball is where you get in the zone is when you're always thinking about the shot you're going to make after the shot you were going to hit.
    119:26
    Is this the shot that you're going to make after the shot? Yes. I know what you mean, Zach. I had to read it a couple times.
    119:45
    Sorry, the music selection fits well with this game. It's not something that was on the actual playlist for the movie. Also, have you already beaten your other score?
    119:56
    I'm a Whataburger. I've heard really good things. I've heard really good things about Whataburger, too. I've never played it. I thought it... It's a Texas thing, right? It is a Texas thing. There's a ton of them out there in Texas, and I never went. Which is funny, because I had the opportunity, and... Oh, wait, I'm not playing one-handed. All good.
    120:26
    and just never made it happen. Whataburger was mediocre. Fertilla, okay. You're gonna get killed. Let me chat for that one. No, I didn't say that. No, I'm saying that.
    120:45
    That was awesome. Okay. One-handed, yep. No, no, no, you're right, you're right. That was awesome. That was pretty good. That was so cool. No! Birdzilla, don't say that Heart 8 sucked. Heart 8 was amazing. Just the experience of... Oh. Bummer.
    121:08
    Yeah, are you serious? Heart 8 was great. I liked it. I'm assuming... It was overcooked mush? No. I just realized I forgot to tell Emily I was going on stream tonight. Oh!
    121:36
    Oops. Did Emily just figure it out? Well, no. She texted me. Oh, sorry. Oh, good. Nice. Do you have to go now? No. I was just, I just didn't tell her where I was, and I didn't respond to her for two hours. Because I was, I was busy. Okay, that wasn't the right choice, George. I completely. Okay, hit one button and move on. You just gotta hit one. Okay, don't do that. Start your mode. Mode.
    122:13
    George, you're stressing me out really bad. Oh my god, no, no, no. I'm going to start the mode. Nice save.
    122:21
    Okay, good job. Did it. I did the thing. Let's do a big one. Pod chase. Unless you want to get too creative and then you can do nowhere else. Oh, no, I want to do sanctuary. No, you want to do that one for your orbs. Okay, pod chase. Yeah.
    122:39
    Nice. Yes, okay. Don't set the mode. Stress him out. No! George, you're stressing me out? This is the one-handed game. George has got a... George already lost in the one-handed before. He can't do it again. I'm not even the least bit upset over losing to you in a one handed game Remember you gotta hit your stupid temple on your floor
    123:09
    I might get my bag Nice Nice, double nice. Okay. Triple nice. Alright, going really good right now. So I'm guessing a lesson for three on five are from the best in the world. Exactly. on Fiverr any we did that once me and my friends we jumped on Fiverr we're looking to become professional counter-attack players I'm afraid we did not become professional counter-attack players we got coached by a guy that was a lower rank than we were okay so what do I want to do right now the tubers lit yeah so I'll do that to finish the mode You should have dead bounced there when you shot that right orbit, because that would have gotten him to shoot it, and it would have been really cool. You know what I mean? Nope. You can try and shoot the right orbit and then let it bounce. Oh, got it. Good call. See? That was awesome. That was really cool. Okay. I got it. And you got an extra. And I got the extra. Game?
    124:51
    Georgia here is getting ahead of the mode. I see what she did there. I want to ride my horse. Okay. All right. Next up is Antiquities. Woo!
    125:04
    I love Antiquities shop. Antiquities. Got it. Right. We're going to do a little orb shooting. Not good That's good Switch it It's the CR part of this one So Pops are good Open your eyes Aw That was a bummer It's okay You have an extra Oh I have an extra You're trying to get me de-cured What? No Obviously No Right Well, you know that thing I said about Oh It's okay, it's fine Okay, you have ball save I did have ball save That's okay, it was a good save It was very clean You're getting good switch hits on the swings right now Nope Okay, well You're a momentum guy, you know Once you're moving, you make better decisions But the more you think You start making some questionable plays. Just don't think. Can you do that, please?
    126:15
    Well, I want you to think. I just want you to think a little harder. There we go. Does it go? It doesn't go all the way around. Tracy.
    126:25
    Get over there. Yeah. Here we go. Oh, wait. I didn't hit any switches. Let's see here. Oh, wow. Tracy, pull him back to my rave. The MyRave does not work on the other lights. It's just a subset of the lights. All right. I'm running it back.
    126:45
    Again! A one-hander! Well, it's one hand and one leg, because I brace it with my leg. Okay. I'm going to move it back while I'm selecting logic. Should go in and set up an extra secret switch that adds an extra 100k each press. That's what the champion of it.
    127:08
    I would notice, that's the best part. You would totally. I have played this game hundreds of times. Easily, I think. I remember the old strats, like when the game first came out. I would know.
    127:27
    I need to hit my scoop really bad right now. This is so hard. Yes. So, yeah, we're playing this again on Thursday, and I'll have Janelle over here for that game. And I feel like this is a great game to teach somebody pinball on. Oh, yeah. It just has all the things. It's got everything.
    127:55
    Oh, Tracy wants to know what flavor of ice cream did you get? Well, I went to Cold Stone, and I wasn't, I just ate. I had a hot pocket for dinner. It's really sad. I know. But I just got home from vacation and I have no food and I didn't go out grocery shopping. So the best I could manage. So I had a hot pocket, but I could have stayed sad. So then the, I was like, okay, I'm gonna go to Cold Star, but I wasn't hungry enough for like a medium ice cream. And they're, small ice creams are still really expensive for, like, what you get. And, uh, so I ended up getting a, uh, a shake. Okay, so hit the target and then use the center button. Got it. Ten seconds. Nice. Okay, now hit the scoop. No, no, don't do that, George. Sorry, you said scoop? That's not a scoop. I know, I know, I know. Thank I know. You, like, nearly blundered your... I'm like, it's a scoop because it scoops up the ball in my head. You shoot the scoop on the right. That's the scoop. Yes, that one. Got it. Now you pick Sanctuary.
    129:09
    Beautiful. Okay, now you shoot yours. Good timing with the song. Thanks. That was a little early. There you go, perfect. Alright, now shoot your yellow targets. Intentionally missed, but you're not missing because you're aiming at them. I'm totally aiming at them. Okay, you just need the right one to par right and the par left. That helps. Actually, no it doesn't. I thought it did, but it doesn't. This makes them flashing instead of solid. Okay, well your multiple is over. Wow! You have 30 seconds. Aww. I can see the yellow. I can beat this You totally can beat this I'm trying to Okay I need to do a little Stretch I'm stuck Secret squirrel Looks like we got Scoops Yeah higher peanut Thank you F in chat I need to get my extra ball That's what I need Which you get For Getting your third thing To I mean you got a lot Riding on this Etcher I know No pressure though No pressure Extra ball is now lit Important shot Okay. Mmm. Such a good beer. That wasn't me being frustrated that you get a good extra ball at all. It's really good. This, by the way, is Washington Apple from Crown Royal. It's a fantastic beverage. I meant to do that.
    130:38
    You know, a little closer. I feel Secret Squirrel, like, alternating arms is probably not one-handed. What? That's two-handed, but just not allowing either one or two to touch the machine at the same time. Yeah, you pick one. Yeah. Well, yeah, you can't even do touching the machine at the same time, because then you could just, like, hold both there.
    131:06
    The idea is you just pick your dominant arm and roll with it. So, Escher, if you, and this relates, nice. I didn't really want it yet, but that's okay.
    131:19
    Nice, a million points. That's a big point. All right, so Tracy wants to know, what's the abridged version of racking up billions? But I kind of want to adjust that a little bit. If you're down by a billion points, ball three, and you really haven't made, let's imagine you've had two house balls. Okay, so your haul in shot is always orb on this game. No matter where you're at orb is always not that far away because the second one isn't harder than the first one like shots wide So you're saying get into the horrible need a 2x on. Thank you. Yeah, I saw that
    131:54
    You need a 2x on the orb to make things happen and you have to understand how the combo rule works You want to be able you need to understand the rules in the game to make this work because if you don't understand the rules then You're kind of as they say SOL All right, so now you're at four multi-ball. You should start worrying a little bit. I should what? I'm just going to skip the animation. You should start worrying a little bit. I am, it's fine. I'm not worried at all. It's fun to watch somebody play a really good one-handed game.
    132:33
    Oh, come on. This is not, I need outlanes right now. Because outlanes extend your ball save. So does this mean if I can get half the score Escher gets with two hands... Hmm, trying to think this out... I know, yeah, I'll be happy if I get half. Ah, I was so close to beating you right there. Right there and then. Okay, where am I? I'm close. I have like two extra tricks and a bonus. Which means I didn't quite finish Antiquities.
    133:19
    I have an extra button still. I love the intense thinking going on right now. I'm trying to think out loud a little bit. Yeah, no, no, you keep doing your thing.
    133:29
    I troubled. But you got an extra ball. All right, and you're going to get a decent amount on bonus here.
    133:38
    What do you got, two modes complete? Okay, I need to watch the count up, Because if you skip it, I don't see what my raw bonus is.
    133:46
    Ooh. 25 million. Ooh. Okay. All right. Very doable. I'm two shots away from beating you. And unfortunately for you, it's the giant Guardians of the Galaxy target. Okay. Oh, because you'll just get another bonus. I'm going to get a direct bonus, but then I win.
    134:05
    But it's not a gimme shot. It is evidently not a gimme shot. Did you just tap past with one hand? There's one. I missed.
    134:16
    There it is. So, bonus multiplied 2x. Man, when you're feeling it in pinball, everything just kind of works out.
    134:34
    Tracy says, yes, please do. Please think out loud. because I feel hitting the orb drop a few times is not going to get me extra scores. Yeah, so you've got to know exactly how to play orb, which is you've got to combo the super jackpot. You've got to combo the big shots because...
    134:55
    Yeah, okay, that wasn't happening. I was like two shots away from Terry's bomb. Don't tilt. Oh, I didn't tilt. I'm afraid you're 0-2 against me, George I am You guys, thank you so much for hanging out tonight It is, uh, what is it?
