I got nothing. I did not trip over the internet cable. I had internet the whole time. I feel like that... I'm gonna blame that one on Twitch. And the Stitch! Welcome to the stream, man. good to see you. And apparently I did. I smacked it too hard. My eyes must be going because I can't focus in on any of the games behind you. CNK, that is not you. That is the camera. That is what's called the bokeh effect. B-O-K-E-H. And you get that by having a really large aperture on the lens that you're using on a on a camera i had to learn all of this stuff recently because i know nothing about cameras but i now know something about cameras and you get that by having a really big aperture and if you're going specifically for that effect what you want to target is 1.8 on the uh on the the aperture rating and uh and that is like the perfect amount where a person in front of you, once you focus, is perfectly clear, but everything else behind them gets really, really blurry.
1:32
I am using a mirrorless camera, the Stitch. So this is the Sony a6400. And Jenga. Grr. Whatever. I got the reactor.
2:23
I assume... Okay. And thanks for the phone. Nice! Yeah! By the way, if you guys haven't checked out The Stitch, another amazing streamer.
2:33
I think most of the time that I've checked out Stitch, you've been streaming retro style games. But I don't know. Maybe you also stream newer games. Oh, no, wait. I'm sorry. I've seen you streaming a ton of Wow recently.

That was mean game. You know what? Honestly, the stream dying threw off the mojo. Yeah, the stitch. It was an expensive camera for sure. But what's cool is I've already used it to take some really amazing pictures at family events or family and friend events. Yeah, we'll call them family. That's cool.
3:30
So I'm thinking of it as an investment into yet another really expensive hobby because pinball isn't enough, right? you need to do other things besides play pinball which i uh no that's there's really no excuse on that there's no excuse for that this wasn't even i don't even what did we kill we killed one reactor on that that was actually starting off initially to be a great game and then we just ruined it It is, man. It's a super, super nice camera. The great thing about it is the LCD in the back flips all the way up and over, so that way I can see myself in the camera while I'm streaming, which the 6300 and the 6500 by Sony don't do. Add to that their amazing new processor that doesn't overheat for long streams and does autofocus amazing. In fact, here, I'll switch it and I'll show some of that off.
4:37
Wait for it. We're going to go back to chat. And then we're going to go... Okay, so now... So now I'm blurry, but the stuff in the background is it. But once I look and it detects my eyes, now it zooms in on me. And then if I step out of the picture, it's then going to zoom in on the stuff in the background. And I'm going to come back in. I'm blurry. Focus right here, camera. Right there. Boom. Now we're in focus. The problem is I have to leave it on manual focus because when I'm looking down, it can't see my eyes. so it doesn't detect me as a human, which is how it's set right now for autofocus, which means I really should have the camera like down here in front of the pinball machine looking up, but nobody wants a camera down looking up at them because that exposes extra chins and stuff. It just doesn't look good. We don't want that. Yeah, dude, it's amazing. I can't stress enough how cool this camera is. Now I'm going to switch it back to manual focus And I was right around the one meter mark So am I Oh shoot I forgot to put this back up There we go now I can see myself Am I in focus I think I am, have it set to scalp detection.
6:31
C and K, if that was an option, I would do it. It's basically human background or animal. I think the different auto focuses. Scalp is not it Now if there was a way to teach it to focus in the same way uh that you can teach uh uh uh language software to get to know your voice like if it could figure out to focus on me I feel like that would be a really cool step in the right direction for autofocus on cameras. I should work on that software. Okay, it looks fine. Leave it on blurry. Right, there you go. you can there's the blurry and by the way you see deadpool in the background all the way over there let's just see it's on manual focus this guy right here this is the switch that failed last night finally got into a good groove on deadpool and we put up just shy 800 million and i'm thinking this is it man we're gonna make it to the uh to the big wizard mode again and uh and then the scoop stop working. I'm blaming Vertzilla for that, by the way, Titanix, if you're on. I went to grab a beer, and by the time I came back down, you had broke the scoop. Don't know how it happened. I don't care whose fault it is. You might point it at, like, George, you should probably maintain your stuff better, but it's your fault, and that's where we're leaving it. Ha ha ha ha!
7:58
I had no idea there was Stitch! Yes, there is! It's from 1987. It's by Bali and it's super fun. In fact, we, I think we're streaming Jurassic Park on Thursday, so we'll probably do D&D on Monday and then we'll do Globetrotters on Tuesday. And let's see what happens this Thursday. This Thursday we've got one of three different things. Either Pirates of the Caribbean over at Ty's place and I think he has two other people so we might get a fun four person game. Or we might be going to Endo Brewing and streaming their Elvira. I'm still waiting on the owner to get back to me. They have an Elvira in, and it looks awesome. And then lastly, we need to get a stream in over at the Flipside in Loveland. So I got to talk to Kevin over at Flipside and get something like that scheduled. So maybe Endo this week and Flipside next week or vice versa. Or if everything falls through, we'll head over to Ties on Thursday and do some Pirates of the Caribbean. by Jersey Jack. Amazing pinball machine. And just pull out the scoop like the Tilt Bob. Is it broken, loose, or under warranty? CMK, it's a $5 switch that snapped off. And I couldn't figure out how to fix it. And I'm not gonna get in there and solder the switch stuff back in because it broke off pretty cleanly at the base.
9:29
When are you planning on Endo? And you gotta schedule Xenon too. And I gotta get That's right, I gotta get over to Pinsomniac's and schedule up a stream on Pinsomniac's stream. And that's gotta get in there, so that's gotta be like a Wednesday night. Actually, maybe we schedule that for two weeks from now? And I'll skip League Night and go to your place, and we can play the hell out of some Xenon.
9:56
You guys smoke weed, but heading to Endo? uh wolfman i can't smoke anymore i can't even take the pills anymore like i have just enough intelligence left from everything i did in college and probably like the good six years after that uh to do my job and i feel like every time i uh i do something uh i i drink one of the now very legal or sorry uh smoke one of the very now legal things which by the way if work is watching, this is all made up and not true. But I feel like every time I take one of the THC pills or smoke, I end up just a little bit dumber afterwards than I was beforehand. And I'm already there, man. I'm at the cusp where I can just barely keep up with everything that changes, I feel like, on a day-to-day basis in the software world. CNK. Oh yeah, man. They have distilled the body high or the head high or the euphoric feeling you can sometimes get with really good stuff and they they put all of those into different pills so you can ask for very specific strains and sets of the of uh different parts of the weed to give you just a very particular type of high and all of that is now in pills or in sugar candy you can't uh my my particular favorite once again, I don't actually do this work if you're watching, right? But if I was to do it for real, I would say that mints are my favorite. Like, uh, uh, like chewable mints are my particular favorite. Um, so you're going to Endo to get a secondhand high. No, by the way, Endo is a, uh, is a brewery out of, I think it's Lafayette, uh, Colorado. Amazing beer. And they're also a bike shop. So if you're in or around the Colorado area and you're like, I don't know what I'm... Oh, we lost one of the lights. I don't know what I'm gonna do. You should go check out Endo Brewing, get a beer, ride your bike there if you're close enough, and then in the back area, I am not joking. I would say... I would swear just to confirm and make everybody understand how serious I am, but they have nothing but amazing LEs in Collector's Edition. They have the Collectors Edition, Pirates of the Caribbean, the Ruby Red Edition of Wizard of Oz, they've got Beatles, they've got the Ellie Ghostbusters, the Ellie Star Trek, it is all amazing stuff, and they just got their Elvira in, so I want to get back over there. I love the location, they have great internet, which nobody, no bars ever have great internet. They have great internet, awful lighting, but I combat that by just bringing six of my own lights and oversaturate everything.
12:50
And if I was going to look for mints, where would I go? Not saying I am, of course. CMK, you can't drive down the street. We need some more light here. color white you uh you can't drive anywhere in colorado without seeing that green plus sign somewhere so any of those they're uh at this point the the state of colorado has is uh has broken uh or destroyed or gotten rid of basically all of the shady locations all that left are the ones that are constantly being monitored by the state of colorado They good places and it all ridiculously business when you go into any of those establishments. Uh, he's in Colorado. Wait, why did you need more light? Look fine. Oh, I can, I can put it back. That's fine. I couldn't see very well. Uh, hold on. Color, let's go hot pink. By the way, you guys have the ability to control the lights. If you guys haven't been on the stream before, there's exclamation point color space, and then you can put in a name or a hex code for a color. Then there's exclamation point my color, my colors, my color. I'm not sure which it is. My color, right, which randomly assigns your user colors for each of the lights. and anytime you do a My Color, it sets all of the lights back to those same. If you're a subscriber, you can do My Rave, which Pinsomniac just demonstrated.
14:33
Or if you're a mod, I think you can do that as well. Exclamation point, Cake will also tell you that Cake is a so-so band live, but an amazing car band.
14:44
And let's do it. Let's get one last game in here. color. Oh, and if it can't figure out the color, it sets it to bright white. I just looked right into that light again. Oh, that was a really bad idea.
15:02
All right! There's our ball lock. We are out of ball save. That is way too hard. And that was just flat-out awful.
15:29
Color at Laserlos. What you need to do is convert Laserlos into a six-character hexadecimal. And then that is his color.
15:50
Oh, how did that not count? Let's do that again. All right, let's try that. Got it. You fall in there. Give me the ball. Give me a ball. Yeah.
16:40
That was mean game again. There we go. Started the reactor. We've got some good music on. Construction Yellow. Yeah, dude, the Stitch, that's some software that we've been streaming. We're going to stream a little bit more that I'm developing called Roboctopus. And pretty soon here I'll be able to offer that up to anybody else who streams.
17:09
And right now it integrates with the Hue Light System by Philips. but we're adding Yeelights, Nanoleaf, and Lifex.
17:27
So if you're interested in getting a hold of that software and using it, jump on the Discord. That's where we're doing a lot of the development. Rather, I should say that's where we're chatting about a lot of the development.
17:45
because I know you also stream as well. 85. Come on. Oh, no. Give me that ball back. Yeah, so the Philips Hue are so flippin' expensive. That's why we also are tackling Yeelights.
18:41
And those are the two up front. Yeelights seem to be about 50% of the cost. of you. All right. All right. Can we backhand this destroy?
19:15
Don't... No, don't tilt! Oh my god! We got it too tight, I swear. Alright, ball three. You should make it shoot colored smoke. Who has the whirlwind powered with leaf blowers? I feel like I've actually heard of that.
19:45
through my day I'm watching you sleep and I pray now please don't make me feel your way that is oh wait it's only 1227 I feel like we've got time for one more should we do it yes we doing it I like asking expecting an answer response But what I am am gonna do actually the back kind of looks okay with only the one light maybe yeah it looks okay uh what is color turquoise add whatever's cheaper you should shoot colored smoke bummer oh pinball life has the uh it has the yeah i know what you're talking about I'll take it.
21:09
I don't know anymore well yeah I don't have the range for this song it's shaping up to be a hell of a game this is what are we waiting for Why don't we break the walls already?
21:41
I just never want to ever leave the house. See that woman's life, you want to try to hide. And that big white boy, can they come and get me? Is that my sign?
21:51
That's all right. I found water in my bed tonight. Stuck my phone to one of the rings. Why, why, why? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm over my head. Nice. We got that one back by completing...
22:41
Yep. We got that back by destroying the reactor, which gives us three seconds of ball save. Ah! Uh, let's see here. Play one-handed. On this game, you say this. It's good practice. All right. I don't know, man.
23:30
I'll take it. Laser lows. That is just mean. Oh my god! Now we lost the camera? What the shish kebabs?
24:00
well thank you wolfman that's awesome you guys thank you for hanging with me didn't see it didn't count whoa oh you didn't see me playing one-handed it just looked like i was playing awful yeah exactly titanics broke that one for sure i don't understand how that even happened like it's plugged in how can it lose power oh yeah i got it hold on hold on we're gonna get the camera back just so that way we can say goodbye maybe battery exhausted nope I'm just out of everything well it was fun you guys this as usual Monday Tuesday and Thursday my name is George you can't see me but I promise I'm here you all have a wonderful night and hope to see you guys on Thursday not exactly sure where we're going but we're going to do something fun have a good one
