Oh boy. Oh boy.
Got Walt Wood next.
This could be a treat. Walt's pretty good at this game.
We We got to see him on Metallica earlier, too.
He's on game four.
Okay, let's see.
He's got a Let's see.
Okay. Yeah, we watched that Metallica game and
Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So, what did he play after?
Turning in solid AC.
Yeah. So, he's he's got three really good scores. Uh the first one was Banzai Run.
Oh, wow.
Yeah. 3.9.
That's
on Banzai Run. I'll take that any day. Thank you very much.
I was all excited about my 1.8 this morning until I looked at what the scores were. I'm like, "Okay, well, that's not any other tournament that would have been a good score." But
yeah, not this one. It It's fun to watch Walt because sometimes he kind of like dances around.
Yes.
And I mean he's very entertaining to watch.
Uh great player. Colorado seems to build fantastic players. Yeah.
This is This is when it get starts getting kind of scary cuz you're like I'm I'm playing really good. Yeah. No.
And then it's like, but I still need two games.
Yeah. And then game five's so scary.
Usually you leave your game five for like the one like I know I can do well on this. So he
I usually don't do that for some reason.
See the look on his face,
you know? He was kind of like
I've been finishing with turtles is game five, which is can be scary.
But I mean game set up like this, anything scary is game five.
Yeah, it's true. So,
he was able to slap it back in there with with that left flipper.
He's jamming to tunes.
All right. So, he's got Jetpack ready. He's probably Is he going to go for drops or is he going to
look like he was trying to hit the target? I think
what would you do?
Uh, I'd do what he's doing right now. Go light your villain and just play Jetack and knock those two things out of the way. Get some points going. Yeah, he's he's definitely trying to do that. It's all right. Need that for another Bond woman.
No. Yeah, that was a good move. He's going to get He's going to get the double danger, but he unless you enormous move, you can usually survive one on this.
I'm telling you, he had to do that.
That ball was gone if he did not move it. Wow. Oh, just listen.
It's a spinner. And so a lot of times the spinner on this
Oh, did it like sit in a weird spot and reject it or
Yeah, sometimes it sometimes you feel like you hit the shot perfect and then it just like the spinner doesn't take it all the way. It's like he was going for side shots. Yep. Just take your time. You're fine. All right. He'll get a good feed here.
Oh, thank goodness.
Do that by hitting the center target or that switch he just rolled through. Yeah, usually not something you're going for on purpose, but but you did it a couple times in this game if you play long enough.
Yeah. Now, now you're going to see classic wall just
boom boom boom.
All right, lights another extra ball. So, he's got two of them sitting in the tank there. I don't even know what lights extra balls on this game, but I know you get a lot of them.
Yeah, I think when you start I I think it's when you start your first villain.
Okay, that would make sense cuz we see almost everybody like it had doesn't have a horrible game light and extra buff.
And then I want to say it has something to do with that target in the middle.
So, okay.
Talking about the tank.
Yeah. Yes. Yes.
Or flamethrower tank thing.
Yep. All right, let's see if we can get another super jackpot or double jackpot. There you go.
Like the third one. The roving one will be an addabal if he gets it.
So, I like this better on the pro like where it's roving where you don't have the guy
the guy that you have to drop it on that never quite works right.
Yeah, I mean it does but it's just a time. Yeah, it's a timing thing.
Oh, that's right. Because you got to drop it on top of the tank, right? Yeah.
Cuz was that that wasn't even active in the original code, was it?
Uh I think it was. I don't but don't quote me on it.
All right. It has a 4x multiplier. Let's see if he
dashes it in because it's just like
It's all right. This would be a lot easier to control. Got the super.
Oh, nice save.
Yeah, the rejection looked like he's not using his 3x.
I was curious if he would try to mash it before the extra ball registers. Yeah, I thought about the same thing, you know, like
because I mean it's nice to have it for Bond, James Bond, but he still needs to get through a whole another like villain mode and true uh and bird one. So, he's not super close to that, but
you know, yeah,
he's doing fine. Ah.
All right.
All right. Survive this. Nice.
Oh, almost got Q, huh? Nope. He's going for Largo.
All right. Now,
and the villain.
This is not a bad one to do the multiplier. So, as you saw that that was just 20 million right there for that one shot.
Are the villains completely random or can you
48 million? Uh, are the No. Well, the the pop bumpers change them.
Okay. Okay.
So, number of pop bumper hits. I don't know what it is. We'll we'll rotate them.
Okay. It's like usually I'll get the uh the green guy and I'll be like great and then I'll try to throw it into a pop bumper to change it.
So you would just change it if it's a bad one
certain times
rather than like try to get a specific one.
Yeah, it just it depends on the situation. You know,
I should like what I would do always.
If you're trying to get bird, don't get Was it Blowoff that knocks bird out?
Correct. So, if I'm like about to start that multiball, I I don't want that villain, you know.
It's got your rig jamming a little bit there.
It's fine.
Yeah, there's there's a little give. Floor floor shakes a little bit.
Another another jetack.
And he's just he's just being walled. He's having fun.
Things are going good.
It's like game four. I'm going to put up a bell on this free.
Do you have one of these, Dom, or
I do. I have a premium. Uh, I like it. Can you disable the uh the guy to make it play like the pro this multiball or or do you have to use it?
You can, but it really like goofs up the
Okay. It doesn't like work quite how you want it to.
There's somewhere I I think it goofs up the double jackpot. It's like really weird. I I forget exactly what it does, but I I leave mine on. I've seen one location a lot where they're disabled.
Yeah. Early on in the code it was there was a big problem where like the two balls would get stuck on the magnet back there and the game couldn't figure it out.
Oh yeah, I remember that. Yeah.
Just going to non-stop.
I lost to Liam Bradley on stream. You know,
it's fun.
Surely it was the game's fault, right? Not yours.
Well, it was for the disrupting my multiball. I was, you know, you get in a groove.
No. Yeah, I do. It is incredibly frustrating and hard to recover from those things a lot of the time, but
there's those times it's like, "Oh, I have a ball stuck. I'm waiting for a TD now." You know?
No. Yeah. Completely takes you out of it. Like it's
like having the streaming rig thrown on you ball three with that never bo that never bothers anybody.
No, I Brian asked me to do that.
I wasn't going to move it.
I wouldn't be like, "Hey, Brian."
Yeah. Yeah.
Like during during the middle of his game,
Yeah. Why don't you go take a break real quick?
He wanted it.
He's like, "Check out this score. It was a pretty good score.
It was,
but it was a terrible ball three.
What was mid ball, right?
It was Could have been a really good ball three. We just saw the very end of it.
He didn't say one word. He saw me by the rig and he was like, I'll trap up.
I didn't catch that. He trapped up, too.
Yeah. Walt crushing it in 5x bird one now.
But very cool he did it.
Yeah. Yeah. He's still on ball one.
Yeah, he's crushing this.
Got he like you said got the extender.
Yeah.
I think it Oh, that was
I think his super's lit, right? Is that No, it's a rocket.
Yeah. What? What is
Oh. Oh, okay.
I want to say all the flashing going on there is cuz the super is lit, but I'm not There it is.
There it is. Yeah.
Okay. 10 101 million.
Yep.
That's with the 5x.
Yeah. So, you you can definitely do it without playing Bond James Bond game. But yeah.
Yeah. You see he's getting 110k per pop uper hit up there. You know, I'm not a coder, but I always wondered like it's got to be hard with all these like fonts and stuff that they show.
Oh, yeah. like just like the priority like
you know just just just think about like them cing the score and like like they code in the 5x when it happens and
I mean that's that's it's insane
and the and you know and two guys got to work together on that when the coder and the the uh animator
has Mike Venor been up here
I haven't seen seen him this weekend, but I know a lot of times he stops by. So, he he might be here like Saturday or Sunday. Yeah, he came down to uh Bloomington a couple weeks ago to a tournament we were playing at uh Mike Felamy's house and uh I played Wick during the tournament did like 790 on it and it was the best game I'd ever had on it and I love the coding on it and then Mike Vinor showed up and I'm like man I got to tell you I love this game now so much better.
Yeah, that was a was a good bird one multiball.
Heck yeah,
man. That's impressive. So like where's that putting him right now on James Bond? That's got to be top 10 top.
I think he's I think three is the top.
So I mean we're seeing some excellent play since we moved the stream
of this game, you know.
Yeah. So that's uh Lewis Bevvens is at 920 million and then uh Cody Web's at uh 1 billion45. So L uh I I would I think it's safe to say that Walt's going to pass that.
Yeah, if he doesn't just like tilt and drain instantly the next two balls. But
all right, this is a good I like this Q mode. You just you just
I this is the most valuable one, right? But it's
I don't know if it's the most valuable one, but it's like you just you just go for the the side scoop and then like the other side.
I know one of these big tournaments. I saw Zer put up like over a billion in this mode.
Oh, really?
I I think it was maybe Northwest, not the most recent one, but the year before.
Okay. Well, it's really nice if you have a bunch of like smart missiles cuz then you can just
hit like whatever you need the three and then hit the other shots to build the value and then just spark missile out to start the multi off.
You guys, he's still in a double danger. Like this is crazy.
That That was good. He got a missile. So like he's running out of time cuz if he So you need six shots to complete this and if he if he does all six it'll start it as a ball save. Yeah.
If if you get one shot away. So, he's got to get six of them in the 57 seconds,
correct?
Okay.
And you're pretty much locked out of everything else. So, you're you're kind of forced to play it. I mean, you can get your multipliers going, which
he just activated.
There he goes
and use the used the missile. So, this this could be huge.
32 million for just that one shot. How about another one?
Thinking about the double danger this whole time, too.
Yeah, that was
Don't tell.
Oh my god.
He even knew. He knew. He was like, "Oh, I almost
in mid gra."
Oh, it it would be cool to see what his bonus would have been.
Yeah, that's a nice feature on the games that do tell you what a bonus loss.
Yeah. So he does pass Cody Webb there. So he's he's comfortably in eighth now. Next is Marcus. Marcus from Finland. Uh he's he's at 1.3. So that's the next threshold to get the seven. Next after that would be my son Neil Graph at six. He's at uh 1397.
And then it just kind of goes up from there.
All right. So his head banging, man. Well, that's all he needed to qualify Bon James Bond. So, when he either finishes this mode or on ball three, if he drains out of it, he'll have the the mini wizard.
Okay.
So, he's he's pretty pumped up as you can
Yeah.
tell I I wouldn't put pass.
What was doing some hand motions in between?
Yeah.
Like, who does that? Like I am not confident enough to do that. [Laughter]
No way.
That's awesome. Oh, nice save. Cuz that that could have got ugly.
Yeah, this this mode uh this mode's tough. You got you got again you got this arrow. You got to shoot it through hair. It's not the most difficult shot, but it it's tight. And he's just like,
well, he's got jetpack ready, which is nice to work through this mode as well as just uh qualify and collect some before James jetack. He's he's lighting his bird one slit.
There's one.
I didn't credit for that.
I've seen Walt do those when he's doing these kind of flips. You know he's on.
Yeah. when he takes his hand off and does
it's almost like a dance.
Yeah,
I never take my hands off the flipper cuz I'm usually confident I'm missing the shot after I flip and need to recover.
Well, I told you that's me on monsters, you know, using my belly for the to to charge the shot.
Use your belly.
That's awesome.
Finally good for something, you know. All right, Bonit, don't drain. Okay, we're good. We're fine.
Yeah.
like I said, he's he's feeling the music. He's feeling the game. He's just ripping shots. He's got no He's got no multiplier, so you can't multiply anything. Look,
I mean, everything's just going his way. Look at this.
Yeah, he's nailing each other.
I've never seen anybody take their hands off the buttons like that in the middle of the ball.
He's got
Nice.
What's he have? The the right orbit.
I think he's just trying to get more multipliers, too.
Yeah. Okay. So, has the cash out.
This isn't going to be worth a lot. 100 million. Shut my mouth. big smile on Wall gets the uh yeah 2x on the on the
so he's a 1.3 and he's got he's he's probably relaxed right now. I mean he knows this is a great score.
Yeah.
And Q.
All right. Another Q mode. Another extra ball lit. This is another one I like. Still got uh playfield multiplier going too.
Got just got a missile for that martini shot. So he's got two of them.
Nice.
The Q mode does lock him out of jetack though, right? Which he had qualified.
I'm sorry.
The Q mode does lock him out of Jetack, right? Which he had qualified previously.
Yeah.
But he's uh he's almost through this mode. I
think he's got two shots left.
Yeah. So useless missiles now.
Oh
yeah. And he's got to hit both.
All right. There's one.
And to save feedback.
All right. The other one disappeared. So he's got to go in the same same spot.
Boom.
There it is. All right. We got a multiball, everybody. And a smart missile. See this knob? Press that button.
It's playing air drums. You'll eject somebody while they're driving. All right, multiball time. Jackpots, jackpots, jackpots.
And is this multiball just keep hitting that eject over and over again or
Q?
Uh, no. I I think you hit a shot and then you have to go.
Okay, alternates. Oh, almost had it. There he goes.
There it goes. So, yeah. Now, now
the other shots light gets the extra ball.
1.4. That puts him currently in sixth place. He's really close to Brian Shepard's first uh 1.4.
And what's the score in here? There is it 10 point 10 point drop off then five and then just one point after that. So
300 290 285 and then it goes down down one after that
which is which is what it should be cuz there's like
two
I I forget the number but it's well over 250. It's like 270 something.
Oh,
and that was that was a rare fumble from Walt, but
man, what a game.
Yeah, no kidding.
Somebody moved the rig to uh Walt's fifth game.
Oh, yeah.
The sleigh maker giving him a
pat on the back and a handshake.
I think he was already safe, right? But
sure, he probably was. Double buyer.
