so, uh, yes, Big Trouble China. It's not only a homebrew that was created by, uh, Kyle Smeat, I think it's Kyle Smeat, am I saying that correctly? Um, amazing game.

Everyone unfollow I'm I'm serious. I've never seen this movie. I've never seen this movie. I know all y'all screaming at the screen going, "You never seen this movie?" I've never seen it.

I was saying, um, so Kyle made a homebrew of this, which is amazing. Um, but Oh, this is not it. Where' the game go? Go back. It just switched off the game.

    It's got James Hong. Yeah, I know. James Hong is amazing. I love James Hong. It's got a lot of people in it. I just didn't I just didn't tune in that day that all my friends went to see this or something like that. This came out in ' 86. I was old enough to see it. I just didn't see it. My mom loved Big Trouble in Little China. Thank you, Dewood. Thank you for Thank you for saying your mom loved it.
    3:33
    I'm glad to hear your mom loved it. As I'm saying, I was old enough to have gone to see it.
    3:42
    Um Joey and a bunch of cool cats worked on this. Uh Joey hit me up last week and like, "Hey, did you see the big trouble that we made for V V uh VPX?" And I did not. Actually, I did, but it kind of fell off my radar. And now, oh god. So, this this starts playing and I That drives me nuts. Don't play. What am I supposed to do? Hold the flippers.
    4:10
    So, this just starts playing. It's okay.
    4:10
    So, this just starts playing. It's okay. Hey, Jack is at the flippers. Hold both flippers to interrupt. >> Okay, I what? If there's an option in
    4:18
    Okay, I what? If there's an option in
    4:18
    Okay, I what? If there's an option in the freaking game to stop that, I need to stop that. That's probably the most annoying thing I've ever seen. Don't Can we not talk about dungeon crawler Carl? Cuz I haven't gotten into it yet. But Borg, I'd love to see your execution or at least ideas of your execution. And I don't mind shots that change. I mean, we have Portal, right? Which is one which is a game that completely abuses that.
    5:01
    Shoot the right inner orbit and through the dragon tube five times. Okay. Um Oh, sorry. I rewrite the series twice. kind of forget the timing of the spoilers. I'll stop. Okay. I'd love to see your execution is a weird statement.
    5:28
    This is a challenging game. It's It's kind of cool. Oh boy. Boy.
    5:44
    See, now I know about the concept of floors and stuff. I didn't know about that until you guys ruined it. George, how could I go to your house for 3 days and you don't spoil anything and then you show up in my chat for 5 seconds and spoil the entire plot of the game? The entire plot of the book is now spoiled. I know who the killer is.
    6:17
    Damn it.
    6:17
    Damn it. >> Entire plot. Yes, the entire plot,
    6:19
    Entire plot. Yes, the entire plot,
    6:19
    Entire plot. Yes, the entire plot, George. And look, when you mentioned to me before that sometimes I uh exaggerate, I'm not getting what you're talking about, man. I'm not getting what you're talking about. I just don't understand how you can make that assumption.
    6:57
    I don't have any eddies yet. Hey, Paladin, >> if you're still here, you're so smart.
    7:02
    if you're still here, you're so smart.
    7:02
    if you're still here, you're so smart. Have you done the middle ramp like eight times yet? Have you done the middle ramp like eight times? Because I think I got to seven and then I and I crapped out.
    7:27
    Darth is your father. Darth Vader is your father. You know, because he's black. That's right. Uh, let's see.
    7:37
    That was my joke. Baked. I always told that joke.
    7:44
    I always told that joke. Wait, Darth
    7:44
    I always told that joke. Wait, Darth Vader couldn't be um Luke Skywalker's father. He's black. That was the joke. It was so funny when I used to tell it when I was a little a little kid.
    8:01
    Got it.
    8:01
    Got it. >> It's so hard to find that shot. Oh my god. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. How many people here have played the homebrew uh Big Trouble in Little China? I know Boric probably has.
    8:43
    I played it. It's It's terrific. This is This is fun, too. Oh, boy.
    8:56
    Oh, Borg, you haven't. That's true. George has. Could be Palpatines's guidance or whatever the hell is happening. Borg, I'm sure whenever you're at a homebrew place that you're trapped in line. You're trapped on your own homebrew.
    9:36
    I think I just I did it. I completed the quest. Quest completed. One. Damn it. Oh, here we go. Lower playfield. >> George, look at this. How cool is this,
    9:52
    George, look at this. How cool is this,
    9:52
    George, look at this. How cool is this, George? How cool is this? It's it it's not possible for real in real life but
    10:06
    but it's a pretty if you could make that lower play field come on that would be a killer. So after DCC I switched to he who fights monsters and already 76% the way book through book two absolutely loving it. Another lit RPG book similar to DCC. I call the ball stuck in the homebrew three times. Yeah, it's really that's a cool noteed. I'll check it out next time. That is a cool um
    10:44
    Oh, so hey, listen. So, I'm I'm still asking people if they think I should um go in on a Sonic. Who's in on Sonic right now? Who's interested in Sonic from Jersey Jack? Who's feeling it?
    11:06
    I'm thinking it. Yeah. Interested.
    11:06
    I'm thinking it. Yeah. Interested. Right. I'm thinking it should be It's not going to backhand, man. I don't know why you keep Oh, it did backhand. I'm thinking Sonic should be pretty baller. I mean, Steve Richie, highspeed playfield.
    11:26
    I think George and I talked about this. I was like I was like, "How could Steve Richie do a Sonic Table?" And George is like, "Cuz he's the master of flow." And I'm like, "Oh yeah, that's right. He's a freaking flow god.
    11:49

    My multiplier increased. Where am I at
    11:55
    My multiplier increased. Where am I at right now? I can't look. Give me that shot. No, not that shot. Oh, that'll give me my Eddies, though. Uh uh uh uh. No. Oh, boy. No, don't drink. Girl with the green eyes. Girl with the green eyes. Okay. I would not expect anything close to income from a Sonic game on location, though. I would not expect anything close to income from a Sonic game on location. Oh, yeah. I mean I mean I can't afford to buy one but um yeah George I kind of agree. Um I kind of got lucky with the first you know routed game. >> All right.
    12:50
    All right.
    12:50
    All right. >> Woo. I did two quests.
    12:53
    Woo. I did two quests.
    12:53
    Woo. I did two quests. Oh [ __ ] I got it underneath the What is this? What is this? This must be a wizard mode. This is a mini wizard mode. This is very cool. Oh my god, this is cray cray. Let's start hitting jackpots then. Oh, there's a magnet under the table, too.
    13:31
    Did I just make it? No. Almost impacted on the surface. There's a Oh, the magnets are effing with me. No, don't drain.
    13:43
    Wait, my shots are lighting up again. Middle. Stop it. Oh, the magnets just suck.
    13:53
    Hey, if you're a homebrew builder, never put magnets in your game. They suck. Um, rain mode. Sonic is great and the game could be fantastic. It's not anywhere close to HP franchises in terms of sight. Just more risk is all.
    14:10
    George, I think I timed it right though. So, here's the deal. Harry Potter has basically paid itself off. Harry Potter is basically So, everything I get out of Harry Potter now is just going to be profit.
    14:29
    Everything I get on HP now is profit. Bam. Bam. I'm rich.
    14:39
    Everything I get is going to be profit. Profit, baby. Everything is profit. >> It's all profit, baby. Trip triples her
    14:50
    It's all profit, baby. Trip triples her
    14:50
    It's all profit, baby. Trip triples her plan. M magnet count. Ball two locked.
    15:03
    Let's get somewhere in this game, you guys. One. What happens when you get eight of those in a row? Should we try or not? Let's go for another mode.
    15:25
    Got it. Man, lighting that quest is hard. Boom. Do I have an Eddie? Yes, I got Eddie. Pillars of shame. Okay. Pillars of whatever. Pillars of something. So, if it starts to get tough, I'll use my Eddie. That's an action button thing or maybe a Magna Magnus safe thing. It gave it to me. Oh, that's so sweet. Thank you. Okay, let's use it here.
    15:53
    Got it. Oh my god, I hit that shot. I can't believe it. I want to use the Eddie. So, let's see. >> Eddie assist.
    16:00
    Eddie assist.
    16:00
    Eddie assist. >> Eddie Lee assist.
    16:03
    Eddie Lee assist.
    16:03
    Eddie Lee assist. >> I shouldn't have used it there.
    16:18
    Why is everything lit? Oh, here we go.
    16:18
    Why is everything lit? Oh, here we go. Under playfield. Under play field. And
    16:31
    I can't Oh, there's a ball save down there. That's cool. >> Damn it.
    16:37
    Damn it.
    16:37
    Damn it. That's such a fun mode. I can't stay down there long enough, though.
    16:46
    All right, what do I got? Let's see.
    16:46
    All right, what do I got? Let's see. King Kong is King Kong is a scary lesson learned for me uh for these kind of decisions. On paper, for tournament play, for progression, for playing, it's perfect. Absolutely perfect. But it doesn't do well on location probably because of the theme. But Godzilla did and Kong is an arguably better machine. I mean, yes, arguably it I think it is a better playfield. Um it is a it is a better layout than than than but you know you're you're fighting elements with versus elements. So at the shop what's great is we have um King Kong right next to Godzilla and uh when whenever I have to work on one or the other and I hit the King Kong flipper. The guy in King Kong goes, "Hey Kong, that uh what is he?" He starts talking to the Godzilla. He's like, "That that lizard over there keeps giving you the eye. you going to go for that? And it's really funny. But um this month we made John Wick the game of the month, which is the we have a quarter game of the month every month. So John Wick right now is a quarter. Um I see King Kong showing up as a quarter like maybe next month. I I don't know for a fact, but I would assume that King Kong would be a a pretty good candidate for a
    18:19
    What's that bake? I'm going to make a
    18:19
    What's that bake? I'm going to make a homebrew where the entire playfield is one giant magnet.
    18:27
    I will never play your game, bro. Your game will never get played. That was weird. What was that all about? I wish I could make a shot right now.
    18:42
    Got it. I love how Oh, what am I in? I got two balls right now.
    18:55
    I'll use them if you let me. Oh, this is easy mode right here.
    19:06
    Oh, there's a dude up there. I need to
    19:06
    Oh, there's a dude up there. I need to hit him, I guess. Let's hit him. Yeah, there's that dude. Hang on. I love how it sounds like um Stranger Things music.
    19:27
    How many more times I got to hit this guy? I can't read the screen.
    19:39
    Oh. Oh, I'm hitting him, but I'm not getting progress. So, I'm wondering what do I have to shoot? Four.
    19:59
    These guys are mean. Look at it. Look, look. They made the They made this this ramp feed below the switch on the end. That's mean. Oh, a game where anything we Oh, a game where anything we'd use a pop bumper for is a magnet instead. You know what? If you guys keep making your games with your magnets, your balls are going to get magnetized really fast and they are going to be useless. So, keep g keep keep keep making your games with your magnets, guys.
    20:35
    Do I have an Eddie? I do. I have an Eddie. I'm going to use an Eddie. They finish.
    20:45
    Eddie assist to complete the quest.
    20:45
    Eddie assist to complete the quest. Eddie assist to complete the quest, you guys. That's how you do it.
    21:08
    Damn it.
    21:08
    Damn it. I always get it to like five shots. Oh my god. What's this? Oh my god. It's doing it itself. What is going on? Do not tilt me, bro.
    21:27
    While I have the ball save, I'm going to keep just firing balls off. Okay, no more ball save.
    21:40
    Stop. Stop with the banging of the table, bro. Why you keep banging the table, bro?
    22:08
    I feel like they spent a lot of time on this game. Damn it. This does not seem like a game that took two seconds to make.
    22:27
    Where's my multiplier right now? I'm curious. 8x multiplier. Let's go. Oh, bad flip. Bad flip. Bad flip. Bad flip. Ball saves on. We need to start a quest. George, if you're still here, can have a George, if you're still here, I am I am still going through my quest of uh my field station 42. Um my field station 42 was still going. Today,
    23:02
    today I added top 10. I added a station called movie uh sorry mono mono something mono something for all black and white TV. Lol. I was just talking with Jay-Z about that. So I added
    23:24
    I added a station George with the top 10
    23:24
    I added a station George with the top 10 black and white movies. Um, so I got movies like Double Indemnity, I got Psycho, I got 12 Angry Men, I got um Some Like It Hot, I got No, no, no. Not Pleasantville. These are all sub 1960 movies. No, I mean, these are these are sub not just Black and White, I guess. You know what? Yeah, Kazablanca is in there. You know what, George? Wait a minute. I think George is on to something. Let's sneak Pleasantville in there. I think that's a good idea. I actually really love that idea. Now, let's put Pleasantville.
    24:15
    Let's put Pleasantville in there. Clerks. Clerks. Oh my god. like son of a [ __ ] >> You are a genius, George.

    41:06
    I may have to let this drain. I'm tired. So tired. Yes. British Broadcasting Corporation. Yes. Uh 2.8 bill for uh four Oh, 4x playfield. Yeah, because I just lost the ball. Um, I don't have any more eddies. I thought I had more eddies.
    41:36
    No more Eddie assists. So, my only complaint about this game is I'm going to let that drain. My only complaint about this game is there's not enough sound design. Everything else is amazing. Um, A+ across the board. It's a lot of fun. Joey, if you're watching this later, talk to me about sound design. Next time you guys go into um next time you guys go into making a game, >> hit me up because I will help. There's
    42:03
    hit me up because I will help. There's
    42:04
    hit me up because I will help. There's there's got to be more sound design. Every target makes a sound, not just a call out. Everything on the table should do something. The sling should make a cool sound. The the drop targets, when they go down, they should make a sound. When they come up, they should make a sound. The spinner should make a sound. even though it probably does. >> Um because it's feedback for the player.
    42:24
    Um because it's feedback for the player.
    42:24
    Um because it's feedback for the player. It's all about player feedback. It's not about being fancy. It's about hearing that you did a thing. >> So all this percept all this sensory
    42:33
    So all this percept all this sensory
    42:33
    So all this percept all this sensory stuff happening. If I hear a shing, I know that I did a thing, right? What if you could get a score match for a free game? No sleep tonight. That was KJB.
    42:54
    KJB, you scored really high on this game. I'm going the wrong way.
    43:05
    KJ B three Billy on big trouble in Little China. Congratulations, bud. And by the way, Xandes, you guys knocked it out of the park. This is a lot of fun. Super great game.
    43:21
    Amazing stuff. Talk to me about sound design >> cuz that's the that's the that's the
    43:25
    cuz that's the that's the that's the
    43:26
    cuz that's the that's the that's the icing on the cake. But outside of that, this is insane. Uh I put 3.7 billion on F. Wow. Wow. So you did you finish it, Belchie? a 3.7. I I got a buddy of mine, Alan Anonymous. I've I've watched Anonymous finish foo on one ball. I don't have those kind of skills. That That's insane. Um two shots from finish final. Yeah, it's always like that, right? But uh but that's insane. So, good job. And I guys, I played this whole game sitting down. Maybe I should play sitting down more. Maybe I should be an old man and sit. What is foo? Foo fighters. Foo fighters. It's the foo fighters by Stern. Stern fu fighters. Good question, though. And I started with two dangers. I couldn't bump the table.
