    • 2:19
    Mail me a spooky shirt. So let's see what games we got going on right here so that way everybody knows where to find particular games that they're interested in or want to play.
    2:31
    This is a particular row. I'm going over here guys now. But now everybody knows what games are going to be here. A lot of these games are from Marshall Dixon's personal collection. And they're like last year. They all freaking work 100% and they look great. So there's no like, oh, beaters that have been beat down and are no bueno.
    2:58
    So we've got Space Hunt right here. I'm going to put some more time on that. I've only got like one or two games.
    3:04
    Well, we got this row right here. I don't have my usual stabilizer guys so this is me holding my phone so bear with me on this god I still look at this Johnny Mnemonic and I think it's mine at first glance but it's but I'm not gonna lie mine's better or mine that I had was better so trust me i wish that the video was more stabilized but i'm gonna work with what i got so i've got to go to spooky to get me my own personal t-shirt you get this at spooky right here this guy's already sporting it marlins arcade is setting up it looks like they're already troubleshooting something that doesn't look good All right so this is where the bar inside is going to be right here in the very middle of the entire area right here and I'm guessing they're still setting things up. I don't know what else is going to be available. Let's go over here to Barrels of Fun as well as I'm guessing some old school stuff. Got the dueling jousts. These are all the head to head games right here I guess. I guess this is the only antique game that we have. a homebrew Hellraiser right over here.
    4:59
    I don't know why, but I really enjoy playing Wyat's camera in action right here from Godleaf. I don't know why. This is a game that I'm just like, man, I don't know why, but I really enjoy playing that game.
    5:11
    Maybe I'm crazy, maybe I'm weird, but I like the whole play field switching over kind of the aspect to it and if the topper works for it it's just different
    5:21
    why water and then barrels of fun they are showcasing two winchesters two dunes and one labyrinth right here ones with the brand new black back glass right here
    5:44
    All right, so over here you've got the Jersey Jack pinball area and this is where you're going to get
    5:51
    all your Harry Potter, you know, all your Jersey Jack games. One good thing about Pinball at the Beach is that although it's a smaller show, You still have high quality of games. So even the used ones that Marshall is growing over here, they're all really good. So then you have Spooky back here in the far corner and you've got every spooky game that they have ever made. So you can play the entire rolodex of spooky pinball games. And then you've got four games right here with the Battle Snake Topper. And then you've got another, what, eight or so games right here. There goes Bug right there.
    6:51
    So now you're able to play Beetlejuice, guys. Beetlejuice is ready to be played. Oh, we already got Rob over here from the Electric Playground. What do you think? It's pretty freaking cool. It's really cool. Did you get one? What do you mean, I see it? I've got one unordered. There's targets down in there. Yeah. It's really cool. You can tell I haven't watched any of your videos. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. He supports me, but he doesn't watch any of my content. Story of my life.
    7:23
    Did you order one? One for you, Gary. Yeah, did you order one? No. Oh, no. The regret is settling in. Yeah.
    7:33
    All right, so then you have all your... This is what the standard topper... I know a lot of you did not see what the standard topper looks like, so let me get you some sort of looking of what the standard topper of what every Beetlejuice game is going to ship with. If you didn't order the Battlesnake topper, that is the topper that you're going to get with your game. else new are these magnetic shit there going to be different versions of these and some of these are available at the show over there that you can order
    8:18
    Fuck, I'm going to make sure I put that on there correctly. But I want to say that there's one or two that come with the game, I think. God, I might be lying to you guys. I'll have to confirm.
    8:31
    But you've got all these games over here. Exclusive beat-up. There we go. She's got all the information. She's ready to go. So right there exclusive battle juice Payball at the beach side rail magnet So I need a set of those As well as a set of the What are these pajamas Or are these just like beach stuff Well Eddie was wearing it like beach wear Yesterday pajamas kind of thing So I was like well So I'm definitely going to be getting this When I get finished doing this live I'm going to come over here and get all this ready to go But you got this is your spooky area right here guys every spooky game developed as right here in the road so you can see how they have progressed over the last 12 to 13 years all the way up to evil dead and then finally to beetlejuice and guys what they've got coming next oh my god all right stringer thank you very much for the two dollars very much appreciated man his old news bro so yesterday working semi-sure all right so here's Here we go, we're going to go down, I'm guessing this is the stern row. So you can see what all we've got. And I want to say a lot of these games are for sale. Pretty sure it's going to be through Little Shop of Games. So if any of these games interest you, by all means, reach out to Marshall at Little Shop of Games. This isn't Spooky's, uh, Spooky did not bring their entire lineup. This is an individual collector. An individual collector brought all of their games. I don't know if any of these games are at discount, guys. Not all of them have labels on them for being for sale. Like I said, Marshall is a collector himself as well. So not all of these games are going to be for sale. So even the old school Dungeons and Dragons with a topper, wow. Wish I was there. I know it, man. They've even got some exclusive badges for Stern Pinball if you play a game here at Pinball at the Beach. RTX Pinball, thank you very much for the $5. Love all the work you do, man. Keep up the good work and enjoy Pinball at the Beach. Play some Toe Tan for me. I guess I could play it. I'll end up probably beating it. There's the man right there, Marshall! Wave, say hi! So if people want to buy some of these games, they just contact Little Shop of Games or what? you an email. Alright. That's the man with the collection right there guys. Any of those games? I think I missed a row back here in the back. And then here is I think the row that I may have missed earlier when you first, well no I think I got this earlier when we first walked in. So as you can see this is definitely a smaller show but it's got, now you know where to go to get all the games that you want to get are you going to the six o'clock social yeah for that what next door we have the big smoke going on also so that's it that's an eight okay this is it six okay so this will be open at five o welcome thing okay and there three you to pass out to people All right guys Oh we going to get a bunch of counterfeits Oh man I'm not going to show you everything, but I've got tickets for drinks right here, guys. So later on, 6 o'clock, I'm going to be at a social. Find me.
    12:33
    Tell me you love my haircut, and I'll give you a free drink pass. No, if anything, guys, this is something that I thought was kind of interesting. Because I have met a couple of people now that have just recently, within the last year, gotten into pinball. And it's always intriguing to me. It's like it's one story of why you get into pinball. And then there's another story of why you get into following or having an interest in a particular content creator, whether it be a podcast or a video, whatever. There's always a different story behind that. So I got to meet some people this weekend, and I'm like, you know what? Well, so what got you into watching my content? Or what got you into listening to so-and-so? It's always an interesting story because it's like, okay, you got pinball. You love pinball. You have pinball in your house. But why are you watching this person? What video did it? What particular thing did it? So by all means, if you do see me this weekend, I'd like to hear those stories. All right, so let's turn the camera back around so you're not seeing my ugly mug. But the show starts here in what?
    13:39
    15 minutes? And now you know where to go to play all of these games. So if you're a big Spooky fan, then you know to go all the way in to the far back left. If you want to play Winchester, which there's only 525, then you want to go right over here. And if you want to play all your Stern games, it's all the way over to the far left.
    14:04
    Yeah. I've already had a few drinks guys, so then it's only going to continue tonight Some of these tickets are going to you guys and some of these might be going to me. We're gonna see
    14:17
    Definitely wish it was warmer outside guys. This is a little chillier than I'd like it to be But we've got Merlin's arcade here. This is literally last minute. I didn't think we were gonna get one neither did Marshall But I want to say mad pinball has something to do with the fact of this game being here. I think there is a definite one of those things where it's like we're going to see if we can make it happen, but Merlin's Arcade managed to make it into the show today. Now currently I'm not seeing a display. That's a little bit of a worrisome, but everything else looks to be working. All right, guys. There is your early tour of Pinball at the Beach. Show opens in about 15 minutes. Looking forward to going out there and meeting a bunch of you. But there you go. Now you know where to go to play the games.
    15:13
    Just a quick little walkthrough so you know. Where's the homebrew? There's not really a homebrew section, honestly, there, Junior. The only homebrew I'm seeing.
    15:24
    was the Hellraiser. This is the only homebrew that I can recall seeing. I could be mistaken. Last year we had more.
    15:35
    Oh, yeah, okay. You need Beetlejuice for sale? No, no. They're all spoken for. Every Beetlejuice that is here is gone.
    15:47
    So here we have Spooky telling Eric how to design a game. No, no, no. There's no hot glue in there. All right. So there we are, guys.
    16:02
    I will see you at the beach, I guess. But there we go. I'll go live later on, more than likely. But otherwise, they have the social. And then I'll be giving out free drinks, passes. And this is what it's all about, guys. Having fun.
    16:19
    Love you a long time, guys. Peace out.
