Internet. Awesome. Gotta love internet. OBS is resetting. Not sure if anybody's still here, but we're gonna keep playing. Yeah, why not? Alright, sure. Choose your character. Player added. How am I just too random on screen? That sounds good. You won. Yeah, you won. You didn't get to play, though. I didn't get to play. I'm fine. Okay. Did you just skip fun? I'm good, I'm gonna... I'm good. Hey, we're back! Sweet. Oh my god, whoa! That is a smoky stout right there. That's fine, I don't need to. Color is working as... Actually, I don't think the color is working. Hold on. I gotta restart the app. D-O-N-T-P-A-N-I-C-F-L-I-P Go! There we go. Did you just hit the shots to qualify the multiballs? There's six multiballs, we have different requirements. What about the shot? The rest one with the red arrows is in fellowship with the multiball, like the other rounds. So you hit the shot with one to qualify it. So, you just have to light those arrows, and then arm play. So you just left arm and hit arm play. Okay. You're together. Yeah. Oh my god, that is so smoky. So smoky. I'll give you a run through of the multi-balls. Where did I go? It's okay. I just wanted to know in general. You'll get a real fast passing. That was the hardest one. No, I'm sorry. The black for all one is the hardest one. That's the second one. Well, I have it lit to lock, right? Yeah, flip off. Hey, speaking about the colors, Pinsomniac, do you have your light bulbs yet? You want second or third? Second it is. I'll explain the multiple. You just got them today. Awesome. I will send you a download for the last good build I have. Quick thing. I'm not going to explain a lot about this game, but I will explain the multiballs. It's kind of the main thing about this game, real fast. There are six multiballs in this game. There's five. There's one for each movie, and then there's two to go multiball, and we'll start with the movie ones. Curse of the Black Pearl, starting on the left. We'll go right. Curse of the Black Pearl multiball is based up on this ship play toy thing up here, upper play field. Spin the spinner until everything lights green, and then these two shots will light. You hit one of those. It opens the cannon to load. You put a ball in the cannon, and then you have to hit the middle button at the right time to shoot the ship on this side. You guys can't see it, but there is about a 1.5 by 1.5 inch hole on the left side on this other ship right here. You have to time this ball correctly to hit that ship, and if you do, that multiball lights on this left inner orbit right here. Green is a very simple thing. it's put three balls in the chest to put a ball in the chest you have to hit both targets once and it lights your lock and you put a ball in the chest put three in there and you start that multiball at world's end is like fellowship of the ring on lord of the rings you have to hit every shot once and it will light this big triangle red and once you do it will light world's end multiball on this left ramp on stranger tides is probably the easiest multiball to start It is this inner loop up here, and you have to hit it about seven times and on the seventh time It'll start it or it's a time Deadman tells me dead men tell no tales is also very simple You hit the spinner shot until it lights and then you put a ball right up in here And it has to hit a certain switch back here trigger, and it'll start the multi box to ball multiple And the last one is for to the multiball That is what this middle button is for throughout most of the game It's to collect gold once you get to 50 gold you You can put a ball in the scoop and you get a multiball to collect gold You have to hit these gold targets right here, or you complete chapter rewards Which is if you hit a shot a character shot for you one of your chapters you get three gold Not the best way to collect gold. It's really hitting these gold targets the bigger combo you get into before hitting this gold target the more gold you get I've gotten up to like 75 gold with a single with a single hit of that with like an 8 combo right before hitting it and you only need 50 to start this multiball and then you need 100 and then you need 150 once you've done it so those are the 6 multi balls if you do all 6 of them at once I've never done it you get some weird special thing. It's like, I think it's 666 gold. Some kind of reward. Insomniac, that should definitely be puke green right there. And that is it. Tournament strategy for this game is start one multiball, go into all the others, everything stacks in this game. Oh, it's my turn. How did you already have 90 points and you haven't even played anything? I'm awesome. That does sound awesome. I put it... That is very dark. I won $5 in money matches at Jackson on this game. Counts me over and over on my own game. $5. One more. $5. $5 a game. $5. Oh! You did nothing. You did nothing. I'm like, oh my god, man. haha Is that just like, is that like a pillow skew? Yeah. The controller? Yeah. That's crazy. There's one behind the machine. Two triggers. Yeah, Jordan wrote an API to put it up. So you can do a hex value or you can do a Crayola list of colors. So I think mango orange. Mango orange. Mango orange. Let's try a hot pink as well. Plunder! Oh! I'll take that. Sky blue. Let's do sky blue. Chartreuse? Well, if it doesn't notice the color, it turns white. So maybe, um... Grape? Grape. Yes. There you go. Now we're chilling. Good. You didn't rage? There we go. So we got a chapter started. Yeah, just as a random hexadecimal value. Yeah. Was it like a dependent mode? Yeah. I hope Jordan's played the same mode. It never moves to it, to the tournament. Sure. This is one of those games that, that we just like, watch sometimes. Like, if you don't know it, you're just gonna be done. Yeah. Yeah. Tortuga. What, like, what walk are you going to get by with? I think you can get by with a probably. I mean, you can like 10 get by and most, I think you just play along with everyone. Right. Like, Wizard of Oz 2 and Hobbit for sure. That would be nice and lucky. That would be hard. Alright, nice and easy here, nice and easy. Let's go Fort Royal. This game is, this is work. It's a lot of work. Oh wow. Wow! But yeah, they started multiball and keep it up and get dollars. This is fun. This game has a lot of possibility for draft catch. I agree. I think it does. Especially like, well not left side, but like the return on the mystery, their particular shot, a failed shot off the right ramp. I don't know many others, so... I mean, there's a ring of bouncing that would work well. Like a return from the double triangle, the spinner shot, usually will bounce to the right slipper. That'd be good for a drop catch. So you also have left ramp lit for multiball. And if you put it up there, you'll get plus two balls. I would love to get plus two balls. There you go. So your jackpots, your red jackpots, your world's end jackpots is left ramp, and then under the upper flipper. And you just alternate. You just alternate those. That's all it is for that one. I'm not even going to talk about the yellow jackpot. It's dumb. It's impossible. I've gotten it two times. I've played this game hundreds of times. I've gotten the yellow jackpot twice. It's load a ball into the cannon and shoot the ship during a multiball. Oh, shoot the ship, yeah. And shoot the ship. You can restart on purple square. Sad day. Sad day in pinball town. It's control of chaos. I could not control the chaos. I don't think I got even a single jackpot. Load the cannon and hit the ship. Yep, as Bensomniac said. That's fun. That was great. It's fine. It's fine. It was totally fine. I don't have gold, babe. Oh, there's gold. Dipping in. Fun. I kind of searched through a reward I want. The pirate in lane, they don't seem important at first. Purple says Super X, that's the Playfield X. Right, that's what they call their 2X. Yeah, yeah. Yellow is gold, and those are your two most important ones. That was good. At the start. New ball save. Okay. But every time you complete it, you increase the level. On the third level, you open up Liar's Dice and Art Frenzy, which are... Art Frenzy is a very valuable thing. On the fifth level, you open an extra ball. Okay. Okay. And, like, so gold pops up periodically and you hit the button to collect it, right? I think I was doing that. It doesn't pop up periodically. It pops up when you hit those gold targets. Okay. Or when you complete a chapter shot. And you don't have any idea what a chapter shot is. No. Don't worry. When you put a ball up into the star map that has Jack, that red star map shot right up the middle. Oh, chapter start. Yeah. Okay. You have to have a chapter qualified, but it'll light a bunch of people on the table, and you hit one, it gives you three gold. Okay. That's the only other time you gain gold. Well, that's good. You gain gold as a mystery reward, and you also get gold for stealing people, but... Okay. How do you get constellations? Constellations. So in the LE and the CE, constellations are retrieved from the star map, which is that little fancy backplate that you can't see on any stream. But on the standard, it's the blue shot. So you see how you can see the shot right underneath the right ramp is blinking blue and red. The blue shot is your constellation shot. So you hit the star map and that'll light your blue shot. And it might go on for a little bit, I think it wears out and it fades away. But your constellation shot is a big blinking blue triangle on the standard. On the LE and the CE it's whatever your star map tells you it is. is. But the constellation is worth points on normal play because ten of them will give you an extra ball. Not so much in tournament play, I don't think they're really worth much. In tournament play the constellation stuff is pretty much like you got nothing else to or you don't know what to do. How do you read it? The star map? Apparently when it's there, it actually looks like the shots you have to make. You just have to memorize the symbols. Yeah, I have no idea. At least that's what I remember Keith P. Johnson saying when Eric Minier and Keith P. Johnson were streaming this. Okay. Yeah, I've only played the L, E, and Z maybe like five times. Maybe the blue shot lights up too I don't know Your tilt warnings are here Oh that's kind of cool Oh I didn't know that Do you have it set for game or for ball For ball What? You make everything else harder and then you set this to easy mode? For tilt? Correct mode No. The correct mode. It's how the manufacturer creates it. They set it by default to per game. It's okay for the manufacturer to be wrong. About their own game. Yeah. You know, what player are you? Player three? Oh. Oh. I can't ponder for a minute. Unplungerable. That's nice Damn it Oh Oh That's ridiculous You can take their ball Yes I mean Maybe we can also have this in the game It's on stream Yeah No no this is You didn't need that ball Nope Apparently I did not Mr. 17000 Well Thankfully I have another ball Thanks George This game is crazy It's pirates I can turn it down So there's a Tolerance on how far you can take From somebody Extra ball is the absolute highest I could literally take it down one notch and you couldn't do it. Oh, okay. But it's funny. Plus, I'm losing, so... That should be a lot of gold, right? If I hit the gold target, yeah. You did hit the gold target. No, I missed. Well, it didn't register. That shot also didn't register. No. But this little thingy, I have the same problem with LaserCue. These little, I don't know what you call them, rollovers. They don't register all the time. That's weird. Well sir with my ball I wish you nothing but the worst of straight down the middle Oh, no! He be born. Okay. I still didn't get last. That's good! Today's high score won! Yes! If only I had one more ball to play with. That sounds wrong. Flip it! Player two! Alright! I still lost. You know, it's just a lesson. You can't get ahead by stealing. I'm not going to play with you. It's just a lesson. You can't get ahead by stealing. What? What are you doing? What? This is just the last person who did something on screen, right? Whoa! Whoa! Hey! And then ScottyIA, welcome to the stream. Thank you so much for that follow. That's a hats off. Oh, player three, you get your name up here. That's you. Oh, I thought I was doing that to player two. Not as much fun. You didn't get your last ball. Yes. Ty is the... I could have put A and finished off the sentence there. Alright, one. Game over. Game over. Points, balls, characters. Choose your character. Do you steal characters? We've got characters. Yes. Alright. We're going to repick our character on their turn. Wow. And they can't choose. You got first, Brian. You're up. Okay, alright. And then they can't choose it? They can't choose the character that's been used. Wow. Yeah, a little bit closer to the follow-up. We hit our sub-goal tonight, so all we need now is the follow goal, and then we'll have another giveaway screen. And TBD on what it is we're going to give away. Easier multiball starts. That's your inner loop on the upper footwork. Okay. Yeah, so you need one less. And that multiball for a double. He doesn't tell you it, but... Okay. Actually, if you want to trap the ball up, then you can. Or watch out. I was going to bounce more than that. Oh, crap. I'm trying. I'm working on it. You just hold the cover. Yeah. Oh, you just hold the cover. Oh. You just hold it. Yeah, that. Score is double. Ah. That's all you do. So, inner shot. And that multiball, the jackpot is literally just that inner loop over and over. and then at some point it'll catch it and you have to like release it like um orb multiball and guardians ok cool that's a super ok do that loop the way to get that loop is through the chest yeah cause it goes through they work together No. No, no. Oh, nice save. Yeah. If only we had the real rules. What are the real rules? With the tilt. Yeah, game tilt, man. That's how this game works. Oh, my gosh. I'm going to watch you in every Jersey Jack game. I assume every Jersey Jack game is played like that. I figured that sick-ass save, it just drains me like that. You could have saved it. I jiggled it and it didn't come into the shooter lane. Alright. You just hold the flipper. You just put it back in the shooter lane. Yeah, I think I'm doing it. Nice. Hold left and then right. Left and then do it again. No, faster. Left and then right. It's like, left, right, right, right, right, right, right. But hold on. There we go. Like that is... Alright. Here we go. Keep some gold. That's a pretty good one. That's not very good. It makes for people in quality. They qualify. The second time? Yeah. No more gold. There's like seven gold. It's like 5 more gold. Get out of here! Like 2. I had a little ball 2 yet. That means it spawns. Oh wow, that's cool. 20 golds like that? You're picking from a multiball? That's pretty funny. Oh, there it is. So you just slam it until it says, no more gold, Kevin. Yeah. There be no more gold. Oh, you have to talk like a pirate, right? Me? No, Ty. Yeah, I won. I didn't agree to this. Sorry, I was talking about Ty. The highest valued gold target. So if you get all of them. You just did it. You missed it. If you get a bunch of gold, over 20 it converts it to 5 intents. So those 5 intents are always the last intents. Ah, okay. Yeah, so you always want to... Alright, alright. And you won't accidentally change your entire amount? No, you got about 3 to 5 second leeway. Okay. We need one more gold to start the Turtuga multiball. One more gold to start the Turtuga multiball. Nice. So now it's actually starting. I hit Turtuga multiball. Can you not postpass this game? I was like trying to for a minute. You can't. It's easy postpass. Easy postpass. Easy post pass. You gotta hit it hard and that's the post pass. I'm not trying to post pass. Do you? You do backwards too. Nice! That's the post pass. Oh! Start to play the music, it really wants you to get it in the scoop. Come on. Which is a very good version of it. I Wonder wonder one They're tricking using your character so if you There's a trick to choose a random character and it's hit and hold left and then immediately hit right like five times and you have to do it in a pretty quick succession and that'll make it, a random character will pop up and you get a random character. And we just do that because depending on what you do some characters are better at whatever goal you're goal you're getting. Like, for scoring this game, you could get a random-ass character and score really well with them. Are you kidding me? Like, my GC on this game is with Gibbs, and his ability is to increase your points in Tortuga Multiball, which doesn't seem like much. But for some reason, it was Laura's got a lot of points. This guy. Yeah. Yeah. Whereas, like, the person that you want to play for getting a wizard mode, there's two of them. There's, you want to play Tia Dalma, because the chapter modes in this game are ridiculous, and they're chosen randomly. But she lets you choose which movie you're picking from, which will get you to a wizard mode faster. And then the other option is James Orrington who just makes Your modes a lot easier Like significantly easier He makes it so like instead of hitting the shot That you have to make You can hit the shots to the left or right So instead of like you don't have to hit the left ramp You can hit the two stand-ups On the left or right instead And it qualifies But he cuts your score Into a quarter for those modes Are you not randomizing? I'm just saying. Everybody else went random. You got Jim's dad. What is his name? Bootstrap Bill? Yeah, but who's... Wait, is it Jim? The main character. It's his dad. I can't think of what the main character's name is. William. Oh yeah, right. Is Jack the main character or is he the never-ending side character? This guy. Will? Yeah, okay. Will Jenner. Will Jenner. You best start believing in ghost or is this something... Random five. Miss Swan. Miss Swan. Yes. The characters in this game aren't balanced, but there's more than one viable option for points. But there's more than one viable option for points. So that's all you really need. It's not like Game of Thrones where you're either Martell or Tyrell. Well, not anymore. Not anymore. No, no, no. Yeah, Game of Thrones is now pretty well balanced. Wow, nicely done. Game of Thrones now, yeah, I think you got like four. You got Targaryen, Lannister, Tyrell, Martell. Yeah, you got four. Yeah? The one time I played the game of K at the league tournament, I put up four and a half billion with Lannister. I still have no idea what I did. I need to stream and figure that game out. Alright, so your jackpot is load a cannon and shoot the other ship. Look, it's easy. I'm going to do it. Oh! Oh! Or you could just play a multiball and try to light your other multiballs. I'm sure that's what a smart person would do. But... Oh! Oh, nice! Oh, not that one though. That was less than nice. That was not nice. That was my own fault. I was trying to get the gold and I was trying to... Here, inside of the... Like, center? Left lane, and center. What is that? Nice, uh, live catch. Thank you. Obviously intentional. So where's the gold? The gold's gone? You already collected it. Oh, okay. So now you're choosing the reward you get from completing Pirate in all of the... the three lanes? I don't know, the in-lanes and out-lanes? So you hit star map and left to your orbit. I always want to say left to your orbit because it's on the far left side. Yeah, so the shot left of the chest. Nice. Wow, level 7. Oooh! Okay. Alright, Blade Meal's actually this game works differently from other games. Where is it? It's the 2X. So, whenever it says like, if the game says like, light 6x or whatever, it means you only get 6x if you hit the 6x target, otherwise you get whatever you hit, and everything below it is going to be lit. So if you have 6x lit and you accidentally hit 2x, you only get 2x. Okay. Post-pass is easy, huh? But that'll be lit until you hit it. That was in the mud. Is there a multiple? Yeah, that one. I'm trying. Nope. Something in the ship. I'm missing the... Ow! Have you actually shot the ship or did you get it by accident? Gold. I've shot the ship. Okay, good. Is that like shooting the ship? That's a lot of gold that's gone. It's gone. I didn't hear it. Gold. If he says gold everywhere, it means there's more than like 15 gold. And you should really hit that button. Oh, okay. Oh no. That's not good. Nice, nice dodge. His multiple Q is telling him how much gold he has. Oh, nice! Okay, so the ship, I need to spin some more spinners? Uh oh. Yeah, you have to hit the spinners. If you look at the UI, it'll tell you where to go. And if you want to trap, can you trap and hold? No. I don't know. Oh, I'll show you a thing with the UI real fast. You don't really have to look at the UI, but... Oh yeah, the R isn't working. It sometimes works. It's inconsistently working. Damn. Ah! That caught that perfectly. It's a real quick thing. UI. So this is your... Can you get back to that? This is your black pearl stuff. So spin it until it says, like, the... Ah, okay. And that's your progress. In fact, this is all your progress for all your multiple. Your floating chest, that's your chest right here. Put nine pieces of eight, that's the shots you need to make. So you just need the left maelstrom ramp. I think that's all you need. Oh, we need another one. Here's another truck. You need a main. Oh, that one. No? No. It's lit. Oh, it's the map. You can make map and left ramp and you'll get that lit. This is the number of loops you need to make the light-bounded inner loop right here. So I think you need probably two or three more. And then this one is your spinner. So we get to get this all the way up here. And the spinner moves it up. Yeah. Yeah. This is a really cool UI. That is cool. I never look at it. Alright. This is beautiful, and it tells you a lot, but I don't look at it. Yeah, there's a ton going on. So that is J.P. DeWin. He's the guy who does all the UI stuff for Jersey Jack. It's amazing. Well, Willy Wonka's not my favorite. This is beautiful. This is. I think this is his best. Great style. It tells you a lot of information. I mean, this was... You know how in a lot of fantasy, there's like a dwarf who ends up making a mythic weapon? Yep. And it's like they almost kill themselves doing it. It was the one time where they put themselves into their weapons. You're a very good one for multiball. Okay. The left spinner is the left spinner. That's what I feel like Eric Meunier did here. This was his first, and very likely it will forever be his best design. Now, yeah, it was. Seriously, the guy nailed it. It's just the rules could be a little better. But that's exactly it. That wasn't him. That's Keith P. Johnson. and you know what i i'm not a huge fan of uh of simpsons a lot of people really like simpsons the simpsons but that's another Keith P. Johnson that doesn't do much for me you don't like the simpsons i don't like the samsung i think you should take it from ty because he's a jerk who stole my all fire which fire is who you're the one with 6 000 points i need i need the full points. That's the only reason. It's the only reason. Oh my god! That comes out fast! Oh my god! That was awesome That comes out really fast That was C not a special marathon stream We just streaming and continuing on I'm unemployed for another couple of weeks. Once I get back from the Dominican Republic, I start my new job. So, why not? Oh, no. So, this game has revenge as well. Yeah, like, if you plunder, then you get plundered back. Wow, it should offer points. It should have. He didn't take the revenge. Oh, I took revenge for the previous game. I'll hit you the next one. Okay. Got it. Thank you. I'll plunder. Come on! Plunder! Yes, yes, yes! Four! Forty gold? Oh, no. Come on! How many gold? Ball two. Oh, God. All right. I hate that. No, no, no. Outer Spacey Tracy, welcome to the stream. We did the first couple of hours on LaserQ, and then we switched over to Pirates of the Caribbean. So now we're just playing some Pirates of the Caribbean. And waiting on Ty to get back from the bathroom, which was kind of scary. He has the BB-2000 in his bathroom, which is a device that sits on top of the toilet, which was, I gotta say, a little scary. That may have been TMI, but it's the internet. It's not like this stays up there forever. I haven't played it but like twice. This game is really interesting. I think it's an amazing design, and the rules, I know from a software standpoint, are ridiculously complicated because you can literally run anything simultaneously. So I know that the rules and the software is designed very efficiently and very well built. my issue is that in my opinion it's not as fun to play I think as it could be if there was some ability I guess to choose the chapters that you wanted to go through there's a character to do that though well that's it there's one character there's one character that allows you to kind of choose I mean that's what I really dug about beating Deadpool it took me a while but I knew consistently what I had to do to get there. There was no, crap, I played for an hour and due to luck, I never actually got to the other, to the biggest wizard. I don't know, I find that kind of frustrating, but I also, I rarely ever play for points. I almost always play to try and hit some sort of story mode or achievement, and it feels like that's just not in this game. Let me put it like this. I've tried to only go for wizard modes in this game for like the last three months. I've gotten to three wizard modes. Two of them are the same. So I've only seen two of the five mini wizard modes. And it's taken me three balls to do any single one of them. And to get to save the... Or, yeah. To get to the Black Pearl... Curse of the Black Pearl multiball, the final wizard mode, which is not implemented yet, because it's .99 code. you have to do all five wizard modes to get there. It's tough. But if you get to your first wizard mode and you're not playing Tia Dama to choose your movie and you get to a wizard mode you're probably halfway there on all of your modes already. Because you have to play so many chapters to qualify one that you're probably halfway through on the rest. Okay, I mean, there's... Yeah. But if you like playing for completion and you don't like Consistence, I like Consistence as maybe the best name for that. I could also multi-play! It could just be that I haven't spent enough time on it in the same way that I still don't understand Game of Thrones. You know what I'm trying to think? It seems really random to start modes up in the upper playfield. I don't hit a particular shot to start a mode, I get assigned a random mode up there, right? Ah, no. You pick the mode with your flipper. Oh. You always pick a mode, and you always qualify a mode in Game of Thrones. No, sorry, in Simpsons. Oh, I have no idea how that game works. It's tough, but it works like Lord of the Rings, where every time you flip, you're cycling between the modes. Okay. So you have to prepare for it if you want to select a specific mode. Okay. But on the other hand, you can play all the modes anyway to get to one of the wizard modes. So, it kind of doesn't matter for points. It matters more for points to order. And there's several different wizard modes that require very different things, which is pretty fun. Okay. And it's hard. It is definitely hard. The Treehouse of Terror shot is very hard. So that feels really good if you do that one. Okay, well, you know, I will definitely... At some point, I feel like if I don't stream it if I don't own it. I never figure out all of the rules associated with a particular game to play it. It doesn't help that I really can't stand the theme. I just don't like The Simpsons. Sure, that's fair. Yeah, that doesn't help at all. There was this one time Jackson beat me on The Simpsons and I was like, man, I need to figure this game out. So I downloaded a GameFAQ style So, yeah, rap sheet. So I read the entire game. It was very complex. And it made a lot more sense, and I really enjoyed it afterwards. Okay. So now. The thing that is missing in Pirates of the Caribbean is the hook. What I mean by that is when people start playing it, they don't have a goal. They just don't know what to do. I can totally agree with that. Eurydice says, didn't mean to bow out without a word. My food showed up, and I had to go pay the guy. Dice, no worries, man. We actually lost internet at one point, so it's probably great timing. at some point after you figure it out I'm assuming you mean Simpsons at that point or Pirates it's an awesome game yeah that's fun that's a multiball right? like I think the best term of strategy for this game is start any multiball but you have to know how to do that yes so like you're in one right now You could just hit the ball randomly and hit all the balls randomly and you just started another, you started another two multiballs just now. Yeah. But I did do it on purpose. But I could have just hit it randomly to do that too. And so now you just hit the chest and you're almost there. You just have to hit the right one, right, restart. Oh my god. Give me the ball! No! Oh no! Oh my! What am I hearing? No. A little stand-up? Yay for buffalo wings and oh my god, jalapeno pop or pizza? I've never wanted junk food more. What? I had a salad tonight for dinner. I'm sorry no and I mean I shouldn't I had a salad because I'm going to the Dominican Republic like there is I had a salad yes I'm trying to remove the amount of that so that way when I'm on a beach I don't have to wear like a thick sweater no no So you're eating less now or are you saying you're eating less now because you eat more in the Dominican Republic? No. I am eating less now to try and drop a bunch of weight so I can be on the beach not wearing super thick long-sleeved clothes. Don't worry about that. Don't? No, it's too soon. Too fast. You're not going to drop any amount of weight that will make you visibly... It's not going to make a visual notice. Well, I mean, I've been... In two weeks. Working out for two hours a day for three weeks straight. And... I've been doing a lot of things. If it's been three months of diet and exercise, then yeah. Go for it. I can lose 10 pounds in like a week, though. Yeah, that's not starvation. Come on, that's bad. No, no, no. It's just if you're concerned about yo-yoing. I'm okay with that. But the other point is, who cares? I care. Why? What do you mean? Who cares? I care. Your body image, self, I don't know. Yeah, care less. What is that? Oh. That's. Yeah. That sucks. Care less. I should care less. You're right. You should. Everybody is a beach body. Thank you, Outer Space. Yes, exactly. Life is so much more fun when you don't care. I watched my buddy get the 666s. It was really cool. George, I tried telling you about the spicy food challenge I'm taking at Pinberg. It's called the Inferno Challenge at the Brass Rail Deli. Okay? I'm down. You're down? I'm down. I am not a spicy food person. Large Mega Nuclear Chili Cheese Fries. the ultra mega meltdown and half a dozen ghostly wings must sign waiver consume the entire meal within 35 minutes without sharing any parts of it getting up from the table or vomiting and you will get your picture posted on our website the meal will be free and you receive a 50 gift certificate oh see i don't know if i can play pinball after that uh i guess but i want to do it i used to i used to grow carolina reapers so i like hot food did you eat the carolina reapers or did you just grow them. No, yeah, you gotta eat them. Okay. The plant died very soon. What? I tried. Come over here. Just take like a bottle of Pepto-Bismol with you. And after you're done, just touch the whole bottle. Maybe not the whole bottle, maybe I'll do something else. No, Pepto works. Pepto's really bad, actually. What do you mean? What? Pepto's It's not going to make it worse. It's specifically designed to make it better. It's not going to make it worse. Pepto's dangerous. There's Pepto and there's Mylanta, and they're opposites. I think Pepto is a diuretic. Pepto? Yeah, Mylanta is a... I'll take it. Plunder, come on! Plunder, yes! It might be opposite. What? 10,000 points? They're not good. No, it's better to just let it go. I'm sorry. It's nothing. Oh, my God. See? It comes out fast, right? Not fast enough in that instance. I was already holding the left liver. See? That's why you click all the way through. What? Well, that's why you click all the way through because you just left like eight points. I don't even know where you see it. Oh, my God! What was that? that sucked those are good and I really want to try this thing if it's a is it a just a heat challenge or is it also like an amount of food well I can't I mean it sounds like a lot of food I can eat like a fat kid but I don't want to eat until I hit myself because it was large Large chili cheese fries. Ultra mega meltdown. I don't know what that is. And half a dozen ghostly wings. That's not many wings, but still. Large chili cheese fries does not sound small. Yep. It says both. It's a lot of food. Doesn't make sense. I can't do any food-based challenge. I'm the slowest eater I've ever known. And I like spicy things, but can't handle that spicy things. Yep. But the speed is the real issue. Did you get in trouble as a kid? All the time. Yeah. All the time. And especially like school lunches, you know? You know, like 30 minutes or whatever? I'd like eat like an eighth of my food. Isn't that cool, bud? Cool, bud. I'm broken, and if I can eat food that is hot enough to hurt my stomach and everything else but I can't actually taste the heat in my mouth. It sucks. It's really bad. I can eat the hottest gems and buffalo wild wings and all that and it doesn't taste hot. But it tastes hot later. And it sucks. It's all the suffering and pain without the endorphins. Oh, that does suck. Yeah, it's awful. I can't think. I'm trying to remember. You're talking about Jim's Wings? Jim's. I don't understand Reddit, and everyone thinks Jim's is so good, and their chicken is good, but their sauces are awful. Their sauces are horrible. Honestly, I really like Jim's either hot sauce or their medium sauce. I can't remember which. They have no flavor. I like the mango habanero one. Dude, you just literally said a moment ago that you can't actually taste anything. I don't know. I can't. I don't feel heat. I don't feel heat. Okay. I can taste flavor, and their sauces are terrible on flavor. I disagree. I disagree with you, too. I've had the mango habanero. I haven't done their mango. I've had all of their sauces. player one it's not good what's a good wing place then there isn't upstairs yeah right like thinking yourself mega meltdown level 15 chest alright unacceptable this is me see I suck at cooking so yeah and And, alright. One last game. One last game. One last game? One last game for all the marbles. All the doubloons. You won again. Have I won every game? I think so, actually. No. Want to put money on it? That'll change things. Pinsomniac, have a wonderful night. Thank you so much for hanging out. Truly a Pinsomniac. Good start. Solid start. Yes. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Start hurry up. Mistress Bradlee Ching. There's a chapter hit. A small diet coke. Wouldn't drinking coke make it worse? The acid on the burning? Right. Maybe it's unintuitive and the acid makes it better. We're going! Mega Meltdown hang on it a lot of food Mega Meltdown level 15 can prefer it always Quarter Pound Alpina like she so hot always Ghost Pepper's not bad. Ultra Death Sauce. Ghost Scorpion and, oh, Scorpion and Reaper, that's pretty bad. Kyan's nothing. Kyan's a joke. But the Ghost and Scorpion, that's pretty bad. Oh, and Reaper. Outer Spacey Tracy, have a wonderful night! Oh, for sure, the carbonation makes it so much worse. Same with water. You need beer or dairy. Yeah. There's something to cut your stomach, too, like beforehand. It's kind of a very oily thing. But my biggest thing with hot food is I think I'm developing an ulcer. of it. Ah. So I can't really eat it anymore. Like, I ate some super hot thing. Oh, it was Last Dab. I don't know if you've seen it. It's hot ones. They do interviews and stuff. Oh, yeah, yeah. And I tried the Last Dab, which is their hottest thing, and it wasn't that bad in my mouth. It was like, eh, maybe like a 7 out of 10. Okay. But 5 minutes later, my stomach just cramped up. Oh, no. So I'm pretty sure I have an ulcer, and that's the only reason I can't eat hot food anymore. And that ulcer is definitely, definitely, I guarantee it's from drinking too much alcohol. Spicy is good for you in moderation. It speeds up the metabolism. Taste of the last dab is like really spicy mustard. Yeah, it's really not that bad. uh not at least it's not as bad as like the interviews make it out to be nice save man this pin looks amazing on stream this pin is amazing Oh, no. You canceled? I know. Last game of the night, I think. Maybe, maybe not. I'm not going to steal somebody's ball. The horseradish nasal napalm was way worse. For 30 seconds after the nasal napalm, I thought I was going to the hospital. Oh, was it horseradish? Yeah. I love horseradish. for... It's different, and it's so good. It's so good. It somehow doesn't feel like it's harmy, no matter how spicy it is. Like horseradish, it just clears out your sinuses, and you're like... You can just stew in it. Yes. You guys have probably had wasabi soybeans. Wasabi dried out ones. Peas, yeah. Wasabi peas? Not peas, the edamame, like the green, I think it's wasabi edamame. Whatever, wasabi peas would be the same thing. So I eat that kind of stuff all the time. And apparently I got a really crazy batch from Sprouts maybe about a year ago. Brought them to a friend's house and somebody had a handful and like lost their shit. And I'm like, that's ridiculous. and then I just to make a point I took a handful that was like three times the size started eating it and I got hit by three waves the first wave was like that's whoo you know that was crazy and then the second one hit right on the back of that and like my eyes rolled back a bit I'm like god damn that was whoa the third one hit and I almost like I had lost control of my hands I apparently I hit his table and I just don't remember doing that and the third one hit it was crazy. I have never experienced that with wasabi or horse red before. Like in the pre-packaged... No, it was the barrel at Sprouts. See, okay, so why did that happen? I never hit the gold target. You did, you actually did. What? Yeah, you had like a five minute trial and you hit gold and you had 30 gold spots. You remember too. You had one hit for it. Yeah, you got half a multiball with that one shot that you didn't think you'd hit. Well, but I was hitting the loops, how did it hit the goal targets? You clipped it. Uh, okay. Yeah. He clipped the top of the G. Oh, hurry up! Oh! Oh, nice. Is that a double? Observe your lights at the bottom ring. No tilt warnings. Oh, those are remaining. Damn it! Oh. The return from the chapter start is really sad. It's The magnet should, like, throw it around. Some wasabi pea pods were really good. If you hit both flippers, it skips. So it's about to float. It was feeling particularly spiteful that day. Yes, I agree. Otherwise, it rests on the post, and sometimes a magnet is too far away to catch it. Yeah, okay. So just mash through that mode. Pro tip, if you hit the chapter shot, hit both flippers and skip through the cutscene because if you wait through the entire cutscene, the ball can sit on the post that comes up, and it might be too far away from the magnet for it to throw it around to give it redness. So we just drop it right down the middle? Most of the time, you'll drop it down the middle, and that's what Nick experienced a lot when he played this. And I've never really experienced it because I always try to skip through it. That happened to me earlier. Yeah. Because I wasn't canceling. Yeah, so just mash both sides. Real Georgie, if you've never tried a jalapeno pop or pizza, once your diet is done, put one in your face. Done. You don't, you don't, I, yeah, I don't have to be talked into that one. That's. Crazy Carl's. That's going to happen. I live right next to Crazy Carl's. You live right next to Crazy. You actually, I think, live closer. By about six seconds. Walking or driving? I don't know, he walks. Oh no, the spamming didn't help? Oh yeah. It does most of the time. Okay, I have no points. I'm gonna fix that. Not bad. Just hit. Steal shot into... I wonder if you can go on the ship. I have a... a calling to do the ship. Alright. Alright. Okay. That's actually the ideal goal start because it's the hardest to do during another ball. Does that make sense? Come on, man. See, so in that case, I would have given about a shrub six inches this way. Just literally move the play field so that way it falls into it. Move the play field underneath the ball. We're lined up. Alright, last ball. Plunder, plunder, plunder, plunder. Those things are worth like $1,500 on eBay. I'll take that shoe. 80 miles an hour? Just sell it and get a one wheel. Because one wheels are cool. Going 80 miles an hour on a unicycle sounds like suicide. 80 is insane. I don't know about 80, but the ones I've seen that are most common, the Chinese ones, $1,500. But not 80 miles per hour. That's scary. Yeah, that's... I feel like 30 miles an hour would be scary. A unicycle. Yeah. Like. But yeah. A really good pizza place next to us. George and I live pretty close together. But we have a pizza place in between us. That has a southwestern pizza. It is jalapeno poppers. It's jalapeno and cream cheese. Yeah. It's the best one they have. I don't know. That would explain why I've never had it. Why? The cream cheese. You don't like cream cheese? No, no. I love cream cheese. I love cheese in general. I question whether or not life is worth living without cheese. My stomach does not agree with me. Oh, that's so sad. Yes. I mean, and it's pizza, so it's like I'm already... 10,000 points. You're playing too. What? I just can't. I can't. I can't get ahead. Are you playing another or is this it? No, this is it. Okay. I'm just going to play again. Play for real. George, has a company ever given you a really weird bonus for completing a project ahead of schedule? I just got an email that I'm getting a self-balancing electric unicycle. It's up to 80 miles an hour. I'm sorry, a self-balancing electric unicycle. That sounds really cool. And no, that is completely dope. I have never gotten anything like that. The best I ever got was Employee of the Year. And I don't know that that had anything to do with getting a project done early. and I got points that I could spend to buy things from a company that did some sort of a wow all four balls are in there did you just break the game yeah It's a new model I guess. We helped build the interface. That's awesome. Nice save there. Oh wow. Sorry, Traymon. I'm gonna be loud. Wow, there's three in there. We have gold and gold. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. You have gold, I think. And you just added a ball. I'm pretty sure you're at six balls. There's only five in the machine. Well, a six ball just showed up. So you've got three active multi-balls. You just started a fourth. Two more. You got this. That's the hard one again, though. Well, don't drain. That's a good start. All right. You just started your fifth. Fourth. I meant fourth. Oh! Oh! I almost loaded the cannonball. Tortuga's lit. Oh, you got Tortuga. There's five. All right, see the ship. That's really hard. That's why I said start with it? Yeah. It's insanely hard to do. You got it. Don't tell us how hard it is when you're in the mode. Do it right now. Just make it happen. What? Just do it. Do it. Don't tell me what to do. You're not my father. Oh, my God! Did you just do it? No, I didn't qualify. I qualified it. But I have to actually make it. That's right. Tortuga's still lit. Why? Why does it think you're in a multiball? Is this broken? Is this a ball trap somewhere? Whatever. It happens. Is that it? Does it count? That counts? I think it's counting. It's got to be stuck in the subway somewhere. Yeah. Okay. That doesn't feel good. I mean, you did cheat. It doesn't feel good. That's not cheating. No, no, no. I mean, if there was a judge, the judge would say, like, if you know where it is, you'd have to dislodge it. I don't know where it is. Yeah, exactly. Where is it? That's what I'm saying. That was legal. I don't think it is. They wouldn't stop the game for that. I don't know. Well, I've got it. You got it. 6-6-6. You can't lose your multiballs. That's great. Now we've got a real problem. Where's the ball? It feels dirty. I'm not okay with that. Where's the ball? Nobody knows. It's got to be in the subway. Alright. Oh, it's not there. What? It's not up there. It just lost the ball. All right. It's in the cabinet. Yeah, maybe just pull it out. Nope, not in the cabinet. Does that happen? Does it drop a ball? No. It doesn't happen. Well, at some point here, it's going to get... Oh, okay. At some point, you can tilt. No, I'm void. That was cool, but... Alright. That's sad. You guys, that is it for an amazing stream ending on such a high note. Thank you so much for hanging out. I'm George. This is Brian, Titanics. And we will be back... I don't know what day of the week it is. Today's Thursday. Today's Thursday. we will be back on Monday next week and playing in the Fort Collins Ryan are you as well? playing in the FOCO championships this weekend? yes I am on Sunday lots of pinball happening this weekend can't wait to see you guys again next week have fun, see ya are you streaming that? no We'll be right back. Thank you. Thanks for watching!
