Yes, yes. Oh, there we go. We got Nick back. This should be a simple override. And we got to talk to Scott at Penn Stadium and be like, hey, there needs to be a constant one button.

And Nick is back back. There we go. Okay. And you're no longer frozen. You were frozen. Now you're unfrozen and frozen again. And Caviel says, get a bigger hammer, sort of.

Let's see. Yeah, I... I'm afraid to turn you... Oh, and he is way behind on top of that. All right. Yep. You just finally started moving again. And you froze again. We love pinballs redeeming 10 push-ups.

I am only three seconds ahead now that we stopped and started again. We're only three seconds ahead. So I'm going to be three seconds behind everyone now.

Oh, wow. Faye just redeemed 30 push-ups. so we're at 40 for the next and final challenge nick yours continues to it looks like has has issues here like it shows up for a second and then it dies and then it shows up for a second and then it dies try stopping and restarting let's see if we can get you back. Sorry, guys. Technical difficulties. We will be... Actually, I'm not going to leave. If I reset everybody, it's not good. Does that leave me enough of an opening to get another beer? Okay. Yes. Yeah. Go grab a beer for sure. Okay. Wow. Look at all those sheep from caviar that's awesome no problem that happens yeah we love pinball we uh i actually think that may have been twitch that crapped out on us just a minute ago because we we maintained without issue our uh zoom meeting and that was transferring a whole bunch of stuff like it was just the connection to twitch that died yes it's actually doing a really good job of resetting itself but I'm going to turn you off. Give it a minute here.

Yeah. And maybe... Am I back? And Nick is back and you're moving. All right, cool. Hi, guys. I'm back here.

Jesus. Hi. Welcome. All right, if you want to throw up your time just to make sure that you aren't super far behind.

So we're only going for like another 20 minutes or so, right? Okay, good. Yes. You guys are... Wow. You're a second ahead of him now. So I'm going to go ahead and turn off... I'm going to go back to a three-second delay because I'm at six right now.

Now that we do that, which is fine, I can handle up to a six-second delay pretty easily now. That was just a one-time thing.

You guys should see some really weird stuff happen as I remove half a second of a delay across every single one of my screens. Almost there, though. Just patience, a few more seconds, and we will hit at least one more challenge if not more And what is our final challenge oh man final challenge um it could be more sorry as george says this could be a while as he plays a full game of tna in less time than mptpk on virtual oh i know what our last one has to be now our last one has to be the uh the the wizard mode escape noobler and nick if you want to drop your your time dot is nope i am now a clock okay cool it's nick dot is nick dot is time dot nick um that's fine tommy threw his back up can we all just put up clocks for the next 10 minutes right yeah let's just watch time fly You know. Okay, so for real, we've got to do the Escape New Blood challenge, right? Yeah, and I think that's got to be next either way. Okay. Let's do that twice, and if that closes it out, it closes it out. Okay. Who won that last one? I don't think we've awarded points yet. That was me. All right, cool. Jedi gets four points for George winning. Okay.

See, the light show is pretty cool here. Like, it's all dark, and it lights up, and it goes up. Yeah, it's kind of cool. It looks like almost a Big Dipper-ish. It's cool. Well, I think the whole point of the table going completely dark is to be like a thunderstorm. Right. And so if you're fully illuminated the whole time, you kind of have an advantage. I think Caviel is getting bored. I think that's what the sleeper icon means there.

All right, I am ready. I am also ready. You guys ready? Let's hear the countdown. All right. I will do the countdown properly. Okay. Feel the rhythm. Feel the ride. Lunge on up. It's escape Nublar time.

Which, again, it is the table speed, so it doesn't really matter if I count you up or down. Yeah, I was thinking that, but, you know, whatever.

So, in case you don't know, there's a strategy on escape from Nublar that if you short plunge and put it straight to your clipper, it doesn't actually start the timer.

If you hit a sling or you hit a couple other switches, it will start the timer, so you really want to try to make sure not to hit many switches at the start. Is that a bug? That would be a feature.

Spoken like a true software developer. It's the commentator's job to fill in the slow points. Caviel, I mean, we were talking the whole time, and part of the issue is that I wasn't here half of that time.

So, sorry about that. Caviel's throwing a lot of shade. I'm going to see what that is. He just has very high expectations. Rough escape out of the left out lane for Tommy here. And a second one. Oh, that was, you know, he couldn't hit that left out lane earlier, but he nailed it twice just there.

Fabio says excuses, excuses. Did I just go the wrong way? And George is going in. George is staying up the right side. Nope. He's going the right way still. George is just fine.

Sorry, the left side. All right, so you can hit the tower shot here, up and over. It is interesting, they're both going the right way, but currently Tommy has his nod if you turn the wrong way. As he turns it the right way.

Which way is the right way? The way that it's pointed currently. I can't tell if that was sarcasm or not.

That was a heck of an air ball. And he got an air ball coming from Jedi about off of something. Did you see that? I have not seen it yet.

It was on top of the... Oh, so you didn't drain off of it. I was looking for it to hop over your foot.

Wait, didn't Caviel win two Jackbox games last night? I got disconnected. Only one. Oh, no! Good save over here from Jedi Right down the right outline right afterwards Faye is now hosting you Thank you very much Thank you Faye Alright where are we So George is on his third paddock He's crashing me He's at 174 And we've got a game over from Tommy over here Which I don't know why I can't remember his name Or his tag every single time I'm sorry Tommy don't panic flipping george totally do surprisingly they do oh my god did you see the ball on that it ran it wasn't walking the plank it was running the plank so so one thing you want you don't want to do in pinball yes you want to make sure you flip but don't flip both flippers at the same time because you will block the ball from your flipper. Yes. No one's ever told me that. Which is what just happened to George. Yes it did. Oh my god, I moved it. And put it on the O and hit it! Oh my god! No no no! Go go go go go go go go! Thank you, thank you, thank you, we got this. We fine We all fine here We all fine here Uh how are you So now you need to hit the truck George Hey how do you make that sound Everything under control Situation normal Uh, explanation point, we are fine. We're all fine here now, thanks. How are you?

Alright, we're cool. We're cool. We're cool. We're fine. Thank you. Turn the truck before you hit that truck, George. Everything's under control. Situation normal. Got it. Cool, you're good. I think perfectly all right now. What am I at? 345. We're all fine here. No, thank you. 345. How are you?

I started the thing with walking the planks, as Tedio. Yeah, it's totally called walking the plank. Oh, yeah. It's totally called walking the plank. When it has that much spin on it, and it just, like, you can't see it, you can't tell. Yeah.

In this duel today, George demoted a Jedi to a Padawan. we love pinball coming in with major shade to jedi uh to jedi or padawan padawan mcmuffin

padawan or is it just padawan sausage biscuit no it's uh i don't know if the if the sausage biscuit has cheese on it it's superior to the mcmuffin but that's no they're only if it has the white cheddar not their not their american cheese mpt3k says we call it licking the flipper here in san francisco actually no so i think he likes to lie to us it's called licking the flipper i did not complete it unfortunately licking the flipper no completion there but i think we've got a win from george okay on the playfield cam I don't know if I can make that work. There's a 10. All right, 1228. Do we have time for one more?

He says my dad calls it that. I think, yeah, George, it's your stream. Okay, so we've got time for one more.

Jedi, I'm going to leave it up to you, man. What is the final battle going to be? This one you have to wager your points. Oh, interesting. Explain that to me. So think of it like... Sorry, like the... Jeopardy, thank you for helping me along with that, everyone. Anyway, Jeopardy, yes, where at the very end, or the price is right, you could wager as many of your points as possible. You can max out at four. So if I was being smart, I would wager five points.

Right, but your points turn into push-ups. Oh! every point that you win with is 10 push-ups. Or that you win by is 10 push-ups. So if George is smart here and wins he could end up doing 160 push-ups.

Oh god. That is way... I wouldn't do that. Is there a handicap for the fact that I've been playing about 1 eighth the time he has? Yes. Yeah, it's 8 points. So you are now tied.

Okay, so what would be a fair bet for me to close the gap? This is really winner takes all. Okay, winner takes all. Got it.

Okay. Winner takes all, and how about we just do something really simple, like 20 push-ups. Winner takes all, and loser does 20 push-ups.

All right, this is it. What is it? All right. I think... I think that's going to Jedi to decide. Yeah, yeah. Jedi McMuffin, what is the final battle?

I think I did best on the first at 50 million, so I think we're going to... Okay. That's not my favorite thing ever.

I do not like my chances here. Okay. All right. Switching over to playing mode. There as well. I guess Nick, count it down. first to 50 feel the rhythm feel the rhyme plunge on up it's first to 50 time i'm bouncing around a lot i wonder if it's like that on twitch yeah it doesn't look like it the zoom haven't seen internet connectivity issues all right just started my first strategy we're looking at here George starts his first paddock George what other kind of strategy are you going after? I'm going to try and start a multi-ball Alright how about you Jedi? Or uh I'd like to get a paddock started And then go from there If you do it right 50 million in 6 shots in T-Rex Multiplayer.

Yep. Let's get this started. And if you are just joining the stream or you've been here a little bit and you don't know who is who, in the top screen, you see Jedi McMuffin's LCD with his face on the left of the scoreboard. On the bottom screen, you see Don't Panic Flip's LCD with his face on the right of the scoreboard. With George's played it on the right Jedi's please play field on the left

28 million it first to 50 right First to 50 So what it 7 Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme What's the answer?

7.7. Okay. I just lit chaos, by the way. George's lit chaos, so this could be over. Well, I'm... Unfortunately... George is a little overconfident, and when that happens, he tends to drink. What was that?

What was that? Are you on his side? Of course I'm on his side. He's the underdog. I don't know. Let's look at IFPA link at the end of this and see who the underdog is. I don't know if I even show up on there.

Yeah, if you don't show up on it, then, I mean, at this point, you're complete. I should be on there. I played one. I've played once or twice at the local bar so a little bit of weird ass play ow what is he I bet 62 52 jeez 52 it's done alright it is done well done sir I believe that you are currently almost 15,000 ranked in the IFPA. 15,000 on the IFPA.

So George has you by about 13,000. Just a couple. IFPA might be an interesting way to out-handicap someone. Yeah. And I just started Chaos. Yep. George, you've already won. I know, but I just, I really, I had Chaos lit because I got a, I got a Spark Missile early on. So I just really, really wanted to start it.

Well done. Thank you. And back at you, Jenna McMuffin. I apologize. I probably shouldn't have started that. It's going crazy. We'll just restart that. That's, that's Chaos. Yeah, chaotic of all things. For the last game. Do you want to switch to just your face cam and close things out, or do you want to keep it here? The only thing crazier is that invalid mode. That's pretty absurdly insane. That's true. I actually don't have a scene. Well, I do have full chat, but I'm not going to do that. Well, no, no. We learned earlier. Just pick your cam and hit Control-F and see what you do. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, we'll hang here. We're good. Guys, my name is George. This show is Don't Panic Flip. thank you so much for hanging out this evening and a big special thanks to Jedi McMuffin for dueling with me this evening thank you Tommy very much and also for commentating uh Nick aka the Pinsomniac you guys if you have not given uh Jedi McMuffin or the Pinsomniac a follow please do so immediately both amazing content creators and uh and as you can see they're both uh excellent pinball players and or commentators on pinball but nick is also a really good pinball player yeah thank you guys so much for hanging out um that's a that's a lot of horns we're gonna have to do dual commentators next time so it's it's so much g3k can be yes it's just so hard to do two play fields all at once and pay attention to everything it's it's a lot of work you know I think you need a commentator per player. Yeah. I think, uh, MPT three K might have to get a green screen and then we can put both of both Nick and, uh, Nick and MPT three K, uh, on the one screen. I could even put kind of a cool animated, uh, breaking news graphic behind them. So, so MPT three K doesn't need a green screen. I can sit in the room. Oh, that's right. Just one of you guys needs a green screen. You already have one. Let's make that work. You guys, uh, scotch, uh, Thank you so much for hanging out tonight. And you guys have a great one.
