    And then things went all downhill after that because we started watching the show, and it was like the worst parts of SpongeBob SquarePants in just how ADD the show is, but it has none of the positive benefits. Like, there's nothing you learn. The ending episodes, it's often about what we didn't learn. Like, there's... It's hilarious. I feel like it's a cartoon made for kids, but honestly, it should have been written for adults, but it's still a little bit too kid-oriented. Anyway, they, in the movie, in a little bit of a spoiler, end up killing Michael Bolton accidentally by running him over and then literally driving away. And this is supposed to be a kid movie. That's, uh... Yeah. Wow. There you go, I guess.
    8:11
    So, yeah, give Teen Titans Go to the Movies a watch if you ever get the chance. MPD-3K! This is the first time this ever came out, right? I think that's the first time MPD-3K... I can't believe you. My hat's off to you, and... Don't panic. This is all you. I mean, you're paying your mom. You're a young son. You must be proud to be a billionaire. If you're losing your money, I mean, someone tells you to play him. Wow. That looks good in orange. That looks really...
    8:47
    Don't panic. I mean, you're paying your mom. Gilbert Godfried, rest in peace if you're wasting your money watching someone else play Pinto we are so close to a hype train right now thank you both Sammy Higgins, Game Club Central for making that awkward action happen that was wonderful Joe Hills, subscribing at tier one my hat's off to you, thank you so much and everyone welcome Manu, you are the man. You are the man you, I think was... Did that happen last night? I feel like it did. So, you are the man you, and that is appreciated. Wow, we've got some fun colors going on here right now. Ooh, that is a very yellow, yellow, yellow. Remember to have your text picker open on your Google Chrome. You can correctly pick it up. Oh, somebody did. Mr. Hardluck dropping 50 bits. My hat's off to you, good sir. Thank you very much. That is appreciated, and welcome to the stream. But, and it auto-switched us back. I love it. The technology is working.
    10:03
    That's wonderful. I'm loving it. The most yellow. Or yellow, the most, the yellow, I'm not sure. Pinball Princess Jillian, welcome as well. Do you want to get a game started? Yeah, let's do that. Let's do that.
    10:15
    You please, start us off. Are you sure? No, no, no. Show us how it's done. A, and B, I can catch up with chat. Sammy Higgins, throwing out 100 bits as well. My hat's off to you. Thank you very much. And look at that. 100 bits. What? Game Club Central also throwing 100 bits. Hype Train, that just happened. On top of that, we just activated the Hype Train something. Yeah? Yeah, I think Hype Train wasn't green, so we got bits. And so some special colors were supposed to happen. You can see all these windows popping up over here. Yeah, you can see it all going over there as it's doing things.
    10:59
    Loser Kid. I'm sorry? Your bot in chat is going crazy right now. Loser Kid, welcome to the stream. The best hats in all of pinball. And I feel very good because I have both the LE model, the hard-to-find version of the Loser Kid hat, And then I also have the new one. Yeah. Thank you guys very much. That is also a hats off situation. That is appreciated. The main book? The far right, the third, this one there. All right. Yeah.
    11:32
    Hey, Esther, want to play for an hour and take a two-minute break while George plays? Great. I haven't played Godzilla in a while, to be fair. Loser kid. I know. Eggman shirt.
    11:47
    Hi, Erpina. Welcome to the stream as well. Big Tech, thank you so much for those bits. Everybody, that is super appreciated. You guys are amazing. You see the hat? I am the act. Welcome. Yes, sir.
    12:05
    And we've got the My Chemical Romance in the background. We are spinning vinyl tonight. This is the only NCR song I know. Really? Oh, my God. This entire... Yeah, everyone knows this song. Queen Dark Lady QD Elf, welcome to the stream. I hope things are going well for you.
    12:26
    MPT3K, we are stuck in green lighting right now. Also, the autofocus is in right now, and that bokeh effect, that's great.
    12:41
    Oh, are you still muted by any chance? I might be. You might be muted on, specifically on your little dial.
    12:52
    Is it orange? It is orange, so you want to hit the side button. Hello? There we go. That should be it. Joe Hills, you're amazing. Thank you.
    13:02
    There we go. Dynsomniac, oh my God, George, I finally went flying today. Have you ever thought about going? Dynsomniac, I'm in. Like, once you have a license and a couple hundred hours under you, I'm in. I love the idea. Otherwise, I am ridiculously scared of heights, and I have literally zero control over it.
    13:24
    But congratulations. In fact, that came up on screen last night. We were talking... Was it last night? George, I have bad news about your game. What's wrong?
    13:35
    The spinner has got the classic turn. Oh, the spinner. Okay. I can fix this for you after. You just mess with it. Okay. But, uh... Does that mean that we're not getting into Mecha, Godzool, or Multimod? No, you can. It's still working pretty well. It's not. Not everything's coming. Yeah.
    13:56
    Seems like if you get two bits in a row, it doesn't know to swap back. Right, it doesn't switch back to the play field. All right. That's fine. You know, I'm going to kill that scene adjustment.
    14:07
    It didn't expect this many bits. No, yeah. It lost it. delete alright guys make sure to give bits right now I already got the bit don't even worry about it so you want to sub then sub is the last one I'm almost there though raid I'm on to raid I just did hype train Sub is now removed. Okay, got it.
    14:49
    Yeah, really had a lot of fun. Yeah, race conditions are hard. Surreal, exactly. And StreamerBot, I actually got an hour to play with it and set up a whole bunch of cool color things. I've got RoboXopus and Govee's APIs now all set up using the Roboctopus stuff for my Philips Hue lights, and now it's also calling the command line, which I had to install some drivers for Govee to be able to call their API. But calling their API is also really, really limited.
    15:25
    Where's the music go? Oh, that's right. We've got to flip the record. Oh, we're already that far? We are already one side of the record in. That's what she meant by it was a two-person bot. Yeah, we have two people here, so somebody can swap out, choose new records.
    15:45
    Tinsomniac, ugh, CPC Sharp more. Yes! And that's what's so cool about StreamerBot, is that it just has an option to run C Sharp code that you just script up right there. It's really great.
    16:00
    Uh-oh. Yeah, the record machine now needs to be automated. I completely agree. All right. So we were talking about, what's the name of this band? NCR. My Chemical Romance, NCR. I love the acronym, like My Chemical Romance. I haven't heard it. I've always heard NCR. Really? Yeah. Okay. I can't be the only one.
    16:31
    Uh, let's see here. Yes, I've been writing this thing called Banger or Ban for a streamer friend. Insomniac, what is that all about? What? You can't, you can, I can figure that out from the name. Come on, George.
    16:45
    Banger or Ban? It's a, before I read it, it's going to be, they give a song, and if it's a bad song, they get banned, but if it's a good song, they don't get banned. Oh, it's called Banger or Ban. Yeah. I thought he hadn't come up with a name yet. until it was one or the other.
    17:03
    That is my bad. Totally makes sense. Bang or a ban. I miss these guys. I didn't realize they haven't put anything out in like a decade. Sammy, I didn't know that either. I sure as only heard of his MCR because he's young. Yeah, that's probably. Probably.
    17:18
    15 million or loop value? Probably loop value on this one. This is the only Godzilla ever I'm pretty sure that you can actually shoot loops in a row on. Yeah, it was My Chemical, or MCR now. Yeah, MCR. I have to say it. Yeah. The Used and, um, who did the, I think, was it The Used who did The Bird and the Worm?
    17:44
    I don't know. I have that, I have that album as well. But it was that, Panic at the Disco, Fall Out Boys, like, that was, it was a phase, I feel like, in my life, in which that was... I had a Fallout Boy phase as well. I mean, I'm still in the Fallout Boy phase. I just go in and out of it. I'm a big fan of their older stuff. Yeah. To be fair, I haven't listened to it in a long time, but I did like it.
    18:13
    All right, catching back up. Hey, IceKidoo, welcome to the stream. How are you doing? Thanks for hanging out with us last night. And Sammy, that goes to you as well. Uh-oh. Surreal, you number three, good nudge. all the work was done by you there. Yes. Yeah. I'll take care of that. Fargo Pinball asks, question for you, DPF. Just got our new allotment from Sterney. Are you interested in a Rush Pro and or Star Wars Pro? Man, is it the comic artwork Star Wars Pro? Because I have a Rush LE over there. And the only thing I'd potentially be interested in is a Star Wars comic art Pro.
    18:50
    Let's see here. Yeah, that sounds right. also, oh, Rise Against. I still love Rise Against. My dad and my sister have gone to like two Rise Against concerts. Okay. I like a lot of their stuff. Yeah, they're really good. On top of that, you know, I think they recorded one or two of their albums in Fort Collins. Oh, really? Yeah. How am I going to get that off? You got it. 3.4. Just in case you wanted to play. If I didn't get it off, I would have gotten the extra ball. Really? Yeah. Okay. That was the final shot on my jet fighter attack.
    19:28
    All right, Fargo's checking. TFW, Fallout Boy has been around long enough to have older... Sorry, Mr. Hardluck, it's even worse than that because I have two best of Fallout Boy records.
    19:44
    Some of Fallout Boy's old stuff, like even before they were called Fallout Boy, is also really good. Oh, I didn't realize... I don't remember what they were called. They had a different name at one point.
    20:02
    Someone in tech might know. But I remember because my dad gave me, legally downloaded of course, on my MP3 player, he gave me every single Fallout voice dog that he could find. As well as some old stuff that I literally couldn't even find on YouTube.
    20:21
    Two different albums. They're put in part one and part two, or volume one and volume two, released independently of the greatest hits. So maybe that's what we do next, a little bit of Fall Out Boy? Maybe. I'll see if I still remember all the words to every song. Okay. The Dune, by the way, should have won everything because the Dune was amazing. It was so much better than the Shuffle or the iPod, in my very humble opinion. Rise Against sounds so much like Autopilot Off.
    20:56
    I don't know that one. Me neither. Oh, Sammy had friends that opened for them back in the day in Santa Rosa. That's cool. MCR makes me immediately think of Marvel Cinematic Reuniverse. Hey, Viscount, welcome to the stream. There's rumors of a Dragon's Lair pinball getting built in 2023. Not sure it will happen, but it sounds interesting. Viscount, I love the idea. I am no longer investing, I feel like, in pinball machines from manufacturers that don't have a history of being very, very successful. He's not saying the name, but there's that one company.
    21:37
    I'm okay saying names. I'm just hesitant, I should say. As you should be. Pinball machines are, uh, they ain't cheap. Ha, discount. I don't blame you at all. Capitalized at all.
    22:01
    Big text, based on what Nap Arcade put out, I think it was this morning or yesterday, and then maybe about a month ago, when they posted pictures, it looks like it's being manufactured.
    22:13
    PC-3K, is it Sega? Oh, I'm not getting that back. Oh, I did. They changed the ball states. Good! There should be a little bit of ball save on... I explained this actually at District 82 on stream because it happened at Jason Werger on the Groot when he kicked the ball out of the mouth during multi-ball. He thought he was going to get it back, but it turned out right as it drained that he didn't get it back. But I called it on stream because there's two types of ball savers on Stern Games. There's real ball save and fake ball save. They have real names, but I don't remember them. Yeah, it's a fake ball save. I've been very frustrated by that because it's flashing very quickly. So the only game that actually tells the difference is Iron Maiden. Okay. The ball save is strobing. It's a fake ball save, but if it's flashing, it's real. Why would you strobe it at all? There's certain things, like, don't ever... I don't know. I actually have no idea why I've said that. That seems like one of those rules, like, the guy at Stern... Sorry, who's the guy who is the CEO of Stern still? Gary. Gary. has that thing where you have to be able to beat the game without using the upper flipper, and the other one should be never flash the ball save unless you have ball save. Yeah. Emily and Dr. John, welcome to the stream. No, I did not get a set of cards. I know that person. I want a set of cards.
    23:33
    Oh, what am I talking about? I like that Pinsomniac. Deep root. Devin Crates had a great mp3 player from a band a brand that doesn't exist anymore it had a big screen and some games on it sometimes corrupted songs a little and eventually fully corrupted but it was great did you save that with the shuffle over there is there a there is I don't know I was like I have no grip on the LE where I'm not used to my usual nothing where I push like flat so I don't really because I kept slipping. And the LEs are all, they're slippery. They don't have the texture of the pros and the premiums so I get what you're saying there. Hey, Viscount, thank you so much for hanging out and thanks for the lurk. Have a great night. Enjoy the food and enjoy the laundry. Remember, don't mix your colors and whites.
    24:29
    I don't do that. Unless you have color safe bleach. I don't have that either. I just kind of hope it. You know, it comes out all right.
    24:40
    George asking if there's a tilt-bob in there. Ha ha. I heard you guys were kind of shitting on the old tilt-bob last night. Yep. That's not very cool of you.
    24:59
    There we go. Why are you using bleach? It's funny, I actually don't use bleach. Like, unless I use this...
    25:18
    I don't even know what it's called anymore, but for laundry, I use this... I don't know, it's kind of like an ultra-clean thing on top of, like, standard Tide.
    25:29
    What's happening right now? Emily and Dr. John, everybody's shuffling. I've got to check out what that clip is here at some point. It's red. Yeah, the reds are the only one that I really worry about. That and brand new clothes.
    25:49
    Bleach is good for wipes and towels. Yeah, I typically throw it on towels along with... I do have bleach. I just so rarely ever use it. OxyClean. Yeah, Pinsomniac. That's what I use. The OxyClean is great if you leave stuff in the wash too long and you don't want that mildew smell.
    26:05
    Yeah, I left, actually just like last week, I had like an unexpected, where I had to like leave my apartment, but I forgot I left my clothes in the dryer. And they did not smell so good when I got home in like three days. Do you have OxyClean? No. Take care of it, man. You just put like one little top of OxyClean along with standard amounts of Tide, and it gets rid of that smell. You have to re-wash it all over again.
    26:30
    Queen Dark Lady doesn't even have whites, so I have no need for bleep. As a true pinball player, you should only have black t-shirts.
    26:41
    I've achieved that right here. Where's Ryan McQuaid, I feel like, at this point? Now that I'm wearing the Eggman t-shirt.
    26:54
    Off-brown is the new white. Oh, Queen Dark Lady. Yep, totally makes sense. That checks. Uh oh, don't kill me now. No! And then I missed the shot. Upper flipper shot. Woo! Just keep giving me those inlays. Wow, nice catch. Nice! Come on, give me a billion points. Wow, Godzilla power up level four. Saucer Attack plus Rage Combo. Yeah, I'm taking Rage. I suck at Rage Combo. So I'm just taking the multiball because I'm not trying to finish my test list right. So I get a max multiplier. Oops. I missed it from Emily and Dr. John. I have to do a radio interview tonight on pinball terminology. Any favorites I can quote you?
    27:51
    I mean, panic flipping. I still don't know what that means. To panic flip? Yeah. You would say that you don't know what panic flipping is, but the rest of us, I feel like, have done it a few times.
    28:08
    Every time I think of, like, don't panic flip, is, like, when the first time you were in my chat when I was playing that Walking Dead game, like, four years ago. Okay.
    28:19
    You might not remember, but I remember. I don't remember that at all. It was easy to remember because I had four viewers. cradle separation would be another really good term air defense a dead bounce or dead flip I feel like is maybe one of the most important things you can do live catch drop catch I did like all those things oh my god higher peanut perfect getting bored shacks big tacks ooh we could also ago as shatzing the bed, which you can do on TNA.
    29:01
    Oh, remember, it's don't, well, actually, it's both Captain Span. It's don't panic, and then panic flip, and then the whole thing together makes it pinball. Right? Like, it's a common, don't panic is a reference to Hitchhiker's Guide, and then panic flipping is pinball, and then don't panic flip is a reminder to be a good pinball player.
    29:22
    Ooh, an Italian bottom. Excellent. I like that. Another really good term. I got too creative as they say. My PPM is terrible in this game. I need to sort out what I'm doing wrong.
    29:33
    Where's DMACC when you need them? I need DMACC to coach me. I haven't played this game in a couple months, and the code's kind of gotten away from me. Here we go.
    29:46
    Perfect start. Perfect. I like that. That's how we roll. Oh, now you're in a... You swapped to the Japanese? What's that? You're on Japanese now. I purposely selected Japanese. Oh, I thought... Nice. Can you get that one back? Perfect. Hang in there. Uh-oh. Okay. We're good. We're fine. Ball flipper. That's all you could ask for. Yep.
    30:14
    One. Two. Two and a half. 3, 4, no no no I'm counting them. Got it got it we're good. Now in the scoop. Oh my god that was so not anywhere close. Take a pee break while I can. I did that before the stream. Say it again. No you said take a pee break while you can. Sorry I'm already through my Yeah, I've got it for the next 30 minutes. We're good here. You might want to scooch the playfield back a little bit.
    30:54
    This is Wood Floors, man. You just do that little move and the whole thing just gets away from you. I like it. Eberra.
    31:09
    I guess when it comes to the pinball terms to bring up, up. Are you talking to someone that knows anything about pinball or someone that knows like a little bit? You know, it comes down to who you're talking to. If they've never heard of pinball, you can just talk about like dead bouncing and drop catching and all that. So we have a Godzilla power up over there. Yeah, so you hit the scoop there. I didn't even see what happened. It's cool. It's cool. We're cool. Always.
    31:49
    Alright, so that one's done going there. Alright. That one's done, and now we need this one. Okay, it worked that time. Crap. Mothra? It's okay. Mothra's obviously the best option there. That's the option there. Oh, hey, we're out of music. Do you want to flip over the record? I think we're out of music. Oh, sorry, you have to put on the second record. My bad.
    32:15
    I haven't used a record player in like three years. Oh, yeah, I'm killing it on this loop value. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I guess we share the...
    32:26
    I'm curious. Now we need to hit... There. Got it. I'm just like looking through the album like all the songs that are on it I'm so sorry I was killing it with Mothra just then did Mothra save you? yeah I didn't hear the little noise it makes the little jingle I say yeah there's always so many very funny Fall Out Boy titles oh yeah they do a really good job of titling things yeah No Tilt Bob confirmed, says Pinsomniac. No, that was just a really good slap save.
    33:22
    Got it, got it. All right, all right. Starting to feel things a little bit. We've got our first bad guy done.
    33:30
    Tank attack. Oh, also you have to turn it. Right now it's set at 33. To start it up again, once you do pick a record, you turn it to zero and then back up to 33. I have no idea what that means. Really? One second. So for the record,
    33:44
    I think this is it, right? Here, that goes up, this comes out, and then to restart it, you go to zero, and then 33, and then place this thing on the outside. You know, I feel like we should show people what's going on here. Especially miss the camera. So wait, I'm good to just place it on now? You are good to place it on. Give me a sec. We going to watch Escher with records over here No no no this is great This is learning for everybody
    34:17
    Okay, so not... so you want to put it... I messed it up already. No, no, no, it's okay, it's okay. This is learning, so... I haven't done this in so long. Kevin let me do it once at Lions years and years and years ago. So we're going to set it on the outside right here, and then it will move its way in. Yeah. That's it. And then off and back on to get the record player to start over again. And that's it. Cool. Simple enough.
    34:47
    Pinstomniac wants to know what record player this is. It's a Bob Marley something. I don't know exactly. I don't remember what the name is. Or Marley... I don't know. Like, that's the logo right there.
    35:04
    Alright, we're back. Alright. Should put the driving behind a pickup cam on so we can see the tilt. Oh, there should be. I need to come up with a camera just for the tilt bob here. Alright, what do I need to do?
    35:18
    I don't know where you are. I haven't been paying attention. No, it's okay. You have one ball locked. One ball locked. You're not in a mode, but you have a mode. You need to select the city before you get your next mode. Right. So you should go ahead and select your city now.
    35:34
    Nice. You also got an air power up here. Okay. Oh, and I got an Anjurus Ataball. Okay, good. Tier 1 battle timers or tier battle time guards? I like the first 10 seconds. Yep, I'll take the 10 seconds. I like it. Let's walk to whatever. New York. There you go. So the Silbot Cam was actually a real thing. Papa TV did it at Expo, I want to say 2013. When did Walking Dead come out? What year was that? The pinball machine. Uh, 2014, 2015? Whatever year it came out, that's when, that was the year. And this one we learned that waiting 30 seconds is not enough. Make sure you bring your mode in. You actually really have to wait upwards of two minutes before it actually settles. I think Renu has one. Yeah, they're hard to set up.
    36:55
    Because I think they had to, like, they had to do something really, oh my goodness, George. Obviously intentional.
    37:04
    Oh my God, just give me the shot. All right, I'm looking at your chances. Thank you. Too bad his stream ended, yeah.
    37:14
    Ew, awkward. I love it. Thank you, Dalton Pinball. Dalton, welcome to the stream. Oh, something. He went to one on the right probably. Yeah, I like that one. It's nice.
    37:27
    We're going, which one's the one that the power line? That is the one above that. Because we're about to start a multiball. That seems like an easy one. Yeah, it's a good one.
    37:43
    I remember listening to this song years ago. Like, I'm trying to remember. So I was listening to a lot of Fall Out Boy when I went to Australia.
    37:54
    Very, like, when I went to go visit my cousins. You spent a decent amount of time in Australia. Yeah. It's still called Australia, not Australia.
    38:05
    Oh, yeah. So, yeah, I think I was in second grade. Because I went once in second grade. I went once in fifth grade. I went once in 10th grade, or twice in 10th grade, and then once more. And then I'm going in two months. Or three months.
    38:32
    Got to battle for the kingdom on Medieval Madness twice, and the left flipper got so weak, Medieval needed, and the sharpness is tedious, so the right ramp made me lose both times. That's a bummer.
    38:45
    Yeah, Lions. I choked my billion point. You held the button down. There you go. Evidently, that is not what you're supposed to do. You can also shoot the spinner here. You need to shoot the major cannon.
    39:00
    The major cannon for your mode. Yeah. I was literally two shots off of my third battle for the kingdom. Oh, my goodness. You're kind of close. What? That's just how I roll. Hit the major cannon. I don't know what the... It's in Canada. On the left. Okay. It's very timed out on here.
    39:27
    I live in Cleveland and I've never been to Canada. Canada's pretty cool. I've been to Canada once. Twice?
    39:37
    I don't know. I might go visit Miles soon. I want to go out there. So I'm out of this mode. Yes. So you have an ally with us, you might want to get your add a ball. I'm going to... wait, so if I hit the... So I need to go there... No, so the left flipper doesn't move the add a ball. Oh right, okay. So you just leave it there. So it'll move once you let go, so... Oh, there you go. Look at that. I'm only going to go, okay now you're good to go.
    40:24
    I live in Canada and I've driven by the Cleveland on the highway, there you go. Pretty neutral agreement. You guys don't check each other out. It's Canada and Cleveland. The Allentown Pin Fest, I'm not going. Is anyone else in chat going?
    40:45
    Dawn is. I got a lot of tournaments up ahead. I got May. I got World Championships in Florida. Okay. I wish it wasn't in Florida, but that's okay.
    41:05
    It was really expensive, too. I don't know why. Oh, to get to Florida? Yeah, it was like $600. Oh, my gosh. For there and back.
    41:14
    Which is weird, because it was only that weekend. Like, it's usually, it was normal pricing, but, but, uh, always, I'll always make it to IFPA. I love that tournament. I've only been to two. That was cool. Obviously intentional. Always. No biggie. Um, and then May 6th, 7th, IFPA Tournament. That's a secret combo.
    41:37
    That's crazy. Well, I think what you're supposed to do is not flip the upper flipper and then shoot it with the lower left. Okay. When you hit it, you want to throw it backwards down the raise when it does the magnet grab. Okay. You know what I mean by that? No. Okay, so when it's stuck on the magnet, when you hit those elements together, it drops, right? And you want to swing it down the side. Oh, okay. If you do that, you get an ally. And there we go. Tesla Strike. Getting through your Tesla. Oh my goodness.
    42:16
    Oh, that's... Do a bang back real quick? What's a bang back? It's a left side... Oh my god, no. I thought... Oh man, I can't think of who did that. I think you're up. I saw Bowen do one on... Bowen, yeah. Bowen did one on Deadlift. Yeah.
    42:32
    The floater of the game, the easier it is. But they are... Bowen... I have a funny story about Bowen. Bowen did a bang back against a nine-year-old Escher at Papa to beat me on Shadow.
    42:45
    Really? Yeah. That's a deep Escher lore right there. I remember that. Because Shadow is really easy to do, Death Staves and Banebacks, because you have this giant piece of metal that just sticks out that you can just hold onto and you can just throw the game with it. Okay. That was like three years ago, yeah. Yeah. Because it wasn't even a poplar three years ago. Come on, man. Can you hold onto that for a second? Yes. It's very red in here. It is very, very red. I feel like the focus is slightly off. I don't know if I fixed it or not. I couldn't see it. Hey! Dalton Pinball throwing out Old Timey. Man, that made it look way better. Thank you. Yeah, I think the play field just has too much red on it.
    43:43
    I love this mode. I like this mode more when you can get hundreds of billions in it. Oh, did they nerf it? Yeah, so. I'll try and demonstrate what they did to fix it, which is what it should have been from the start, because the right ramp is the easiest shot in the game. Sometimes. I don't know, I'm struggling with it right now. Well, wasn't the first way that they fixed this to make the building change it so that we can't just loop it eternally? I could have saved that. I wasn't thinking that was a backspin. Yeah, that's what it was. But that's what it still is. When you can just shoot the right ramp 60 times in a row, that's when it was... That's when it was nerfed? We are playing from a Fallout Boy shelter. So yeah, if you do the color and you don't put it as a hash, it only does the floor lights, right? Uh, yes. So you guys need to get your hashes out, okay? So... There we go. Nice. That's the hack. You zoom in, pick a spot. There we go. Focus! All right, we've got Kaiju Battle lit, and we've got a destruction jackpot. Alright, this is for 20 million, and we're trying to catch up to Escher here. I'm not disappointed with that first ball. I'm okay with that. That's not good. That feed is always scary. Yeah, it is. Okay, now I'm going to try and do a taiju battle here. Yes!
    45:30
    Finding Sh... Ooh! Are these all multiballs? Level 2? Uh, just the middle one. Middle it is. It's not a good multiball, but... That's not a hack, George. That's how you focus the camera. That's, you know, cool. You can't say that he's being wrong, either. That's, uh... Hey, the living fossil, thank you so much for that follow.
    45:54
    That is what heroes do. So now you shoot the spinner. Oh, which spinner? The MechaGodzilla spinner. Nice. No, yeah. So you shoot yellow arrows and then you shoot the spinner. And then you shoot the spinner for a super.
    46:16
    Another 100 bits? Hey, whoever did that, you're amazing! Manu. Manu for the win! That would have been cool if you did it. I know! I was trying so hard! Get up there! Nice. Now you hit the spinner for super. Nice. Alright, so we're out of that. Which is fine. We have another Godzilla power-up. We've got... Magna Gravelet. You should swap your city now. Because you got your mode and your power done. Okay. So it should be... It might not be that good actually. You drained once during your... You timed out your mode once, and I think you drained with your power. So I think it's only 2x. Now, here's the question. While I have Select City lit, can I left ramp, right ramp to... Not that I can do it at the same time, but does it pre-qualify my Kaiju battle? No, you've got to swap to the next. All right, that's... So you've got to hit the scoop. I've got to hit the scoop, and I don't want to do that right there. I'm going to go there. It's not a bad option, until you flip the upper flipper. That made it a worse option.
    47:25
    Nice. See? See? It all makes sense. It all makes sense. Ooh. Rage combo. Rage combo. Okay, now left ramp, right ramp in order to get to the next place. Yeah, to pick London or Paris. Yep. Done. You really like this table? That's okay. You're not alone. Trust me. It is number one on Pinside and in everyone's hearts. Yeah.
    47:55
    So, uh... Somebody did something! Uh, Anvil hosted us for a hundred and thirty... Oh my god! Anvil, you're amazing! Thank you, those lights are for you! Oh no.
    48:10
    Focus up, George! Come on! No, no, no, we're good, we're good! We're fine, we're fine. Anvil, thank you so much. Wait, you get this. Thank you very much. How was your stream? How were you doing? and I know you got rid of Jurassic Park. Do you have another pinball machine lined up yet? And if so, what is it?
    48:31
    If you like your camera, focus. I know the camera's focusing. Come on, man. Pinball's number one here, I think. I don't know. Oh, this one's... There's time for talking. You're on the timer now.
    48:45
    You have a very long ball here. Okay, what am I in? You just shoot the orange shot over and over and over again. That doesn't help me. That's over there. Yeah, it'll slowly, you'll slowly, yeah. So. Got it! Alright, we're cool, we're cool.
    49:00
    11 more to get an extra ball. Okay, so now it's in the middle. It slowly moves left to right. I'm currently finishing my basement. I bought Torpedo Alley. Cool game. Whoa, cool!
    49:13
    From Replay FX Papa. That, I like that Torpedo Alley too, it plays good. Despite me never actually winning on it in any Timber ground ever. And they just finally, you're going to set it up. Nice. Yeah, Torpedo Alley's fun. I remember watching it at InDisc. I got to shoot again. I got to shoot again. You held the left flipper up. Oh, you held the left flipper up. I wonder what he meant by that. Oh no, that's not good. Oh, I gotta go flip the record. Oh, yep. And then maybe we'll actually get to the songs that I know about them.
    50:01
    Oh. I don't know what that was all about. There we go. I was going to say, so far I haven't really heard any of them, or I didn't know any of them.
    50:15
    Could not get there. Feeling pretty good, though. Monster Rampage total, 47. Well, I'm currently, oh, finishing my basement. Okay, yeah, call up. From ReplayFX, okay? Awesome. Glad to hear. and... I think I did it right. I did not get my... yeah. Well done. This is me. This is
    50:36
    you. With the level 5 power up. That isn't programmed yet. I'm in the ballpark. I am jazzed right now with this first game. I'm pretty sure I heard somewhere that the level 5, level 10 and level 15 are the super modes. Okay. But they're not in yet. Oh no, okay. But really good to know. And so how do you get power-ups? I try, I try, Dalton. I'll try you. You get power-ups by doing things. Just like everything. Like, they will follow you as you progress. Okay, by doing things. Makes sense. I think it's 50, last time I got to it was 50 million and 50 million. Yeah. I'm a right 50 million guy. I do the right 50 million? I really like You guys stay consistent. It's like how I like local tournaments, I always guess the same coin flip, right? I don't alternate between heads and tails. You know? I always pick... Heads? Heads. Okay. Why heads? Rock, paper, scissors, I always start with rock. You know, it's so funny because most people start off with scissors. Really? Yes. Is that like a study? Based on just my anecdotal evidence. Oh, okay. So, yeah, everyone... Yeah. You see, but then my dad and I both always start on rock. So, rock, paper, scissors, like, actually matters for us. Right? Because we know each other. And when you know each other, then it's an actual mental game and not just random chance, you know?
    52:12
    Oh, before we go too much further, you guys, if you were here earlier, and you were here for the raid from Anvil and you're not following Anvil. Awesome member of the pinball community.
    52:23
    Also plays... Oh my god, I just forgot the name of the... Oh my god, Anvil. Somebody from Anvil's stream. Anvil almost always plays Isaac, The Binding of Isaac. Oh, I like it. Which is such a cool game. It's like the awesomest... I've never played it, but I know everything about it. I've watched a lot of Isaac. It's one of those games I really enjoy backsteating. Not backsteating. Lurking. Lurking, yeah, basically lurking. Good nudge right there. So, you guys, if you are not following Anvil, please do. Click the name. In fact, we've got to do that. Finding of Isaac. Hey, Southern Pretzel, thank you so much. Exclamation point. Esso.
    53:07
    Anvil 82. Uh oh. Sling. Hey, uh, Tuna Banana. Oh my god, that's... Great name, hey, but oh my god. I do not like tuna. That is a... What? I, I, no, no, no. If it's sushi, I'm all about it. But, like, canned tuna is... Nope. This take was okay. Are you a, are you a canned tuna fan? Yeah. Oh my, it smells like cat food. Well, yeah, because it kind of is cat food. Oh my God, Sid Hersey. Thank you so much for rating us at the Party of 46. Sid, what were you streaming? And, oh no, are we... It balls up there. It's perfectly balanced there. There we go. No tuna banana smoothie, George? Absolutely not. And Sid Hersey, thank you so much for that raid. You're amazing. the orange light background and orange lights in the room, those are all for you. Sid Hersey, what were you streaming? And what was... Oh my god, do we have a question? I have a question! I have a really cool question for tonight. I will be right back.
    54:23
    Bye, George. Bye. I mean, I'm still on the stream. I just can't hear you. This is Yggdara. Bye. I know that's funny we put on we were like going through all the different albums before at the start of the stream and we started with My Chemical Romance and now we're on Fall Out Boy this is like the only Fall Out Boy song that has come on that I remember when I used to like him a lot I don't even remember what this song is but I remember Nice ball save there. We were working on a Game Boy Color tonight, but we mostly do audio stuff. Awesome.
    55:09
    And Sid and Anvil, this goes out to you both. What fictional family would you most like to be a part of? And that could be cartoon or live action. It could be a movie. It could be a television show.
    55:26
    So be thinking on that, because that was the interesting question for the night. Hey, GotDoubleTop, thank you so much for joining the stream, and welcome.
    55:39
    Wait, oh, I'm sorry. Oh, that's just huge. Oh, 2x right now, right before. Sid Heresy. Sorry, I said Hersey. It is Heresy. I just wasn't mispronounced. I misread it.
    55:53
    Hmm. I'm going, I'm a coward. Why? Oh, my God. Where did you just get 500 million points? I've been playing. I've been playing pinball.
    56:04
    Also, why do you have all the extra balls and I have none? I think I have like two extra balls. I don't know. I feel like I should get something just because I put up my 467 without any extra balls. You do what I do and play the game. And play the game. Got it. Yeah. Instead of playing badly, play better. That's what I'm saying. Arthur Pintragon, am I getting older or is Escher getting younger? Or is it just a haircut? It's just a haircut. It is a haircut.
    56:32
    I got this haircut a while ago. But it's the only... Like, I got this haircut. It's the same one I always get. But for some reason, people just notice it more this time than... What was that? Like, no one notices it before. But I think it was just so long since I got a haircut that it was a bigger difference than it usually is.
    56:49
    Whatever the family's name was in Elf. Wow. Sid Heresy. I am... Man, it has been a long time since... No! Nice! Double! Woo!
    57:03
    And because we have the earplug in there... No, that was a wild... No, no, no, but you got the double with the earplug in, but it would have fell pretty quickly. Okay. You already had one. It was the Tanner's since Ice D.D.U. Oh, my gosh. And so Anvil's still thinking on that one. I'll go ahead and throw out mine. which is, without a doubt, Modern Family. I would love to be a part of that family. They're so wholesome and wonderful and loving. And, you know, there's other families you could be a part of where you might get superpowers or something. That's a cool award. Level six. Yeah, I'm getting there.
    57:45
    I gotta, for that question, I gotta say, probably like the Simpsons, because they have so much interesting shit happen to them all the time, right? and but nothing like they never die it's never like dangerous oh it's sometimes dangerous but like but yeah like there's no lasting effects yeah and it's so frequent it would be they also never age true I don't know I remember in 5th grade I got really heated in like our debate like we did like a friendly debate which was like would you want to live forever I'm like no I don't want to just be in space my whole life like once the world ends I don't want to watch all my friends and family die slowly. That's awful. Oh my gosh. You know? Oh yeah. Or, what if, worst case, there is no way to get in space, you're stuck on Earth where the environment is unbreathable, so you just can't do anything because your muscles don't work? Yeah, exactly. And you're stuck kind of like Death Becomes Her. I also want to point out Anvil's response to that was the Kardashians.
    58:47
    I wasn't even thinking of reality TV, but yeah. I mean, that worked. It does work. Arthur Pinkeragon, the question of the night is, if you could be a member of any family, what family would it be? That could be a... Wait, let me... What fictional family would you like to be a part of? Books, movies, television. Kardashian's a real man. Oh, that's a good point. That's Anvil. They are a real family and not fictional. Not fictional. Read the rules, buddy. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Anvil's pointing out that they are fake AF. Well, yeah. out, but... They are... And if Anvil was a part of the family, maybe then he could afford some pinball machines. Oh man, got Double Cup going with Dinosaur Family? I'm guessing that's the late 90s television show with the... It wasn't Don't Hit the Baby, it was the...
    59:47
    Oh my god, I can't remember the catchphrase from that show where the baby said something and repeated it. I'm the baby. Okay, Anvil's going to pick again. Married with children, Mr. Rage Quit.
    59:59
    Also a great name. Not the mama. Thank you. Yes! Sammy Higgins right there with me. Hey, Torm Elkson, thank you so much for that follow, and welcome to the... Oh! No! Did you have an extra ball? Oh, my God! Maybe three, I don't know. It's fine. You know what? I'm enjoying my time with chat right now. I'm the baby. You've got to love me.
    60:27
    Ooh. Wait, Insomniac, you want to be in the Always Sunny family? I don't know about that one. I can imagine it being... Like, if I was there and they were real, nothing about that would be funny. Oh, Mr. Hardluck, I'm scrolling back up.
    60:43
    Oh, Boof. Oh, no. Mama Boof, welcome. Going back up. Mr. Hardlock, I want to be a member of Hercule and Videl's family in Dragon Ball Z because then my surname would be Satan.
    61:01
    I don't know. Unfortunately, I can't empathize with that at all because I know nothing about Dragon Ball Z.
    61:12
    It wasn't the Power Rangers which is about, I think, when I stopped watching television. Well, Higher Peanuts, the Jack Harkness immortality issue where they concreted over him. Yeah, that's the issue that I was talking about earlier where you're left in a bad situation and you're stuck that way for eternity.
    61:34
    Ooh, the Banks family from Fresh Prince. I'm discovering right now that I secretly want to be rich. I get that.
    61:45
    Why does George doesn't know a pop culture reference? I did it. What'd you do? I got the MagnaGrab ally. Where you throw it backwards through the scoop. Oh, nice!
    61:57
    Through the loop. What was the imposter battle? What? You said something about completing an imposter battle. Dude, I don't know. I'm getting there. We need Z-Mac. I need Z-Mac really bad.
    62:15
    Hey, Lord of the Weed. Welcome to the stream. and thank you so much for the follow. Dope name. What's that? Dope name. That's what I heard. Nicely done. Big time pinball. Welcome. Hey, Lord of the Weeds. Hi. Welcome.
    62:32
    Impostor Battle is the thing where you magna grab back through the spinner. Oh, that is the thing. It's called Impostor Battle. Yeah, I knew that.
    62:40
    I'm about to lose all my value because I can't hit any shots. See, look at that. Value lost. Fine, whatever. Oh, sheets. I saw someone achievement hunting for imposter battles. Makes sense how it's so hard. Yeah. What caution welcomes. He had three of them. Oh, wow. Arthur Pindragon. It's three after midnight, so it's officially 422. Oh, hey, it is 420. That's great. It's my grandfather's birthday today. Oh, nice. Man, I thought for a second, I'm like, is it midnight? Nope, it's only 11. And we're on game one. Yeah, Arthur Pendragon.
    63:21
    We are still on game one. We started at 10 o'clock. Yeah, we were pretty on it. This time it's a little slow, but not this time.
    63:30
    Or it sucks, though. No, nope, they combined mid-air. That was beautiful. What do you call that? Not air defense, but when the balls hit mid-air and bounce off, and that's what saves you? I don't know, man. Mid-air collision? Pinball is the weirdest shit sometimes.
    63:47
    No, no, but we need names for everything, so that way when Dr. John does the radio interview, he has fodder to discuss. Oh, yeah. I meant to do that. That's super jackpot where I... That's actually... For some reason, my HR person scheduled a mandatory meeting for today. For 420. I've got business to talk about. That's Newton cradling. I think I like that. That's not a bad name at all. That's not a bad... I think I like that. Did you just make that up? Well, Vufa's saying it's air defense, but air defense is where you hit a ball purposely in the way, but if the balls collide in midair unintentionally like that, right over the middle, and each go opposite directions, I like a Newtonian cradle. I like... I'm pissed. That's a good one. What is it? Where it's just like, I'm pissed. It's like, that shot was good and I got blocked. Oh, yeah. It's like a different thing. Oh, yeah. That's called an I'm pissed? Yeah, that's what I'm calling it. Okay. When I get pissed off. This is getting... Oh, my God. 36 times that by six? I got another one pretty soon. It's called physics. Don't do it.
    64:56
    Uh-oh. It's called the turn your head and cough. Who's been sticking with it? Air defense. That's what it is. I did not get it. And yeah, Tinsomniac did make that up. I like it. It's a good one. On the fly too. Razor, it could be dumb luck, but I see it happen more often than you think. Ooh, got double cup. Infinity's End. I'm loving these names! That's like way too intense, man. We're talking about pinball. Infinity's End. That's like... You're like, man dude, this is pinball. This isn't like... Oh, what was that? Was that an awesome... Funny bone popped like straight down? By the way, I do call that the funny bone. Yeah? Oh wait, my Mechagodzilla's ready. Yeah, I knew that. Yeah, I was... I wasn't shooting at the scoop, I was shooting... I need to hit all these power lines. It's like Thunderstruck from ACDC. Because if I can get a max collect, it'll be like a bajillion points. Certified bajillion. Bajillion. Yeah. Do you have another extra ball after this, too? Yeah. Awesome. I'm going to pick out another one.
    66:12
    Yeah. Chad, I need a genre for the next record. Oh, you know what? No, I don't have a way to show the pinball machine and the records at the same time. And this is way too epic to look at the record collection.
    66:26
    It's like splitting a bullet with a knife. Now, Insomniac, I don't think I own any Ska records. New Wave, has Mr. Hardluck done? I think I have Depeche Mode.
    66:39
    Gakapella. Oh, my God. No Ska. Dito. No, Ska's not happening, but we do have Depeche Mode. No Ska on the Dull Panic Flip.
    66:50
    Do I actually have Ska? I don't. I have AJR. That's nowhere close to Scott. That's like the least. I have Sublime.
    67:07
    That's kind of close. Yeah, I guess it's closer than AJR. It's way closer than AJR. Christian Rap. Christian Rap is awesome.
    67:16
    Christian Rap? I didn't even know that that was a genre. The person I'm moving in with in a couple months, his parents are like super Christian but he's like a huge music guy he listens to like everything but he had to listen to it when his parents found out that he wasn't like only listening to like you know their music it was like oh well get him to listen to Christian rap so he was like subjected to Christian rap for years alright well hey on that note we're going to start with Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode alright but it's like pretty regular rap but then it'll just kind of like turn into not regular rap pretty quickly
    68:22
    I going to tell you a secret I going to tell you a secret I going to tell you a secret After this we may have to go the hacker soundtrack
    68:40
    I see you do. Let's just enjoy the silence. Pinsomniac, I don't have a Radiohead album yet I do have the Weezer album though that looks like the Radiohead album Joe Hills, are you still here? because I got something that you talked about today finally, after we talked about it and Thursday I think I'm going to actually make it but you recommended, it was Sundrop soda with a sweet tea vodka. And I finally picked up the sweet tea vodka today. Look at that nudge! How are you nudging right there? That was a good one. That was all you, actually.
    69:28
    Tea sauce is zest on wings. George, next time we hang out, I need to tell you a great story that involves enjoy the silence, okay? I didn't realize the significance, even though I skewed you when you said that. It was all cast, So I should have thought that that was a personal noun. Private? I don't know. It was capitalized. It was special. I don't remember the exact terminology. In the wise words of Mr. Hill, you're not making Christianity cool. You're making rock and roll worse or something like that. That's a great quote.
    70:03
    Proper noun. Thank you. Yes. Mr. Hardluck with the big win there. Thank you. What is happening? I haven't been like kinda, I've been like sorta half paying attention to what I'm doing.
    70:21
    Uh oh. Wow. I made that in. Oh no. I missed it the correct way. Oh no. You missed it the correct way. I love that. Oh, that sucks. That sucked worse.
    70:35
    No! Okay. Bang back. Alright, well, I just lost like two billion worth of value there. Oh, man. Yeah. That was a really bad... No biggie. You keep putting up the points, you're going to need it, because I've got this. Oh. Okay.
    70:51
    Okay. I'll believe it when I see it. Exactly. Why can I not hit this group anymore? This sucks. I hate pinball. I know this is my first game ever, but... This is the first game of tonight. There it is. Nicely done. Not going to be a bajillion points. That's what I'm like. I think the highest I got to do was 12. Mr. Hardluck's disappointed. That is insane. And suggests you retire from pinball. That is insane. I'm glad I did that. Wow. 2x on Destruction Jackpot. This is going to be no joke. If I can hit it. Oh my god. That's going to... Yeah, because it's lit. That's going to be like 12 or 24x. I can ride another one in one shot. So, it's a little funny. Oh, my God. Hit it. Please hit it. I want to... Oh, no.
    71:37
    Okay. I got it. Oh, it added the multipliers. It didn't multiply the multipliers. It doesn't add. It's still 400. Oh, my God. Yeah, it's great.
    71:50
    That was 387 million destruction jackpot. And you are one shot away, you said, from the second. Oh. I lost, so... Oh, no, I flipped.
    72:12
    Uh-oh. By the way, just throwing it out there, if you got... Oh, no! Oh, my God, that hurt. I felt it down in my leg. Thank you. Excellent save. Can I not keep this gender anymore?
    72:26
    This sucks! I hate pinball! I love nimble! Destruction Jack, is this gonna be 9x? Yeah, uh, no. 10x! Oh! Wow. That's $290 million. Three. Wow. I would suck if I missed. Right, guys?
    72:48
    There it is, there it is! I was just scaring everybody. I wasn't worried. Wow. Uh oh. Yeah. I saw you miss the wrong way. Man, I had this Planet X ready. That sucks. I hate pinball.
    73:09
    That bonus, that shot was worth more than my entire score. Oh yeah. And I'm not playing a bad game right now. It's not a bad game either, yeah. Yeah.
    73:22
    I'm having a love-hate relationship with pinball. Yeah. That was a secret skill shot number four. Yeah, the break down the middle. Your bridge is ready. If you hit some red arrows, we'll get an extra ball. If I hit red arrows, you said? Yeah. Well, you should just hit the right ram. Yeah, I'm just gonna...
    73:57
    Secret. Sub 300 million always a pretty good game on... I assume you mean like over 300. Yeah, it really depends what's happening. Because sometimes 300 million is like nothing on Godzilla, and sometimes 300 million on Godzilla is a big score. Oh no.
    74:20
    Okay, we've got a try-to battle. You don't want to time it out. Shoot the right ramp, quick. Hit the spinner. What spinner? Back spinner. Center spinner. Center. Hit it. Got it.
    74:35
    That's not good. All right, y'all. Hit spinner. It's timed out on me. No. You were too slow, George. I'm super slow, but I did maintain control of the ball. You did make it easy. Hey, look at that. 24 million. That is 24 million closer. That is true. But you have to still hit it. Okay, but that's... That's in the bag. Nice. End of the tail whip.
    74:58
    Yeah. There we go. All right, so we've got a power-up, and we've got a kaiju battle. Is that lit again? Yeah. But you should power up first. Because in case the power-up is related to it.
    75:10
    I get a shoot. Yeah. Some of the new streams got exponential scoring growth. Let me tell you about Batman 66, the greatest exponential game of all time.
    75:22
    That was brutal. That was mean. Oh my god, two more for an extra... Hey, big time pinball. Thank you. Yeah, 50 million. Because I think eventually it's going to be a super mode. I think the level 10 is always 100 million. The level 15 is always 150.
    75:40
    That is you, sir. GC'd the game on game one. Look at us. An hour and 16 minutes into the stream. Completed our first game. Will we make it through number two?
    75:53
    you should start us off this time. Alright, I get to start us off on that really high note there. Hey! I do? I get to do something, too! Yeah! Alright, this one's going out to Anvil. Anvil, if you're still with us, I do not remember your initials, but what are your initials? I'm going to go with And right now if you're not here. And totally understand, after a long stream, you're probably doing things. Like working on that basement.
    76:23
    Hey, Razor, have a great night. Thank you so much. I know. Half a bill and still lost by six times that. Just jab a fork into Escher's eye and leave it there. Then you might have a chance of reaching 5% of the score.
    76:42
    I'll take my 490 million. I'm pretty happy. 546. I'm sorry. Not bad. Yeah, that's not bad. All right. We didn't get a match. We are going to default to. It's a payoff. Right? Yeah.
    76:56
    What do I want to do here? Secret skill shot? Yeah. Oh, it was. I didn't realize it was. I feel the need to, like, try every shot out, especially if it's in... Oh, that's not good.
    77:13
    That is true. Your score is more than my destruction jackpot. There we go. I'll take that. You're right, I will sign in. I forgot that there's that.
    77:36
    So you're building the heat right here? What's the plan here, George? To hit the left orbit. How about that? That's what I'm working on. And I'm going to hit that. There we go, there we go. Step one, step one, two.
    77:59
    Got it, got it. Now we have control of the ball, so I'm going to hit this left orbit shot. Please, a big time pinball. Talking about the Gygant track with being able to move the building. It's hard to say if it's worth it anymore, just because a lot of the points are, you to get everything done. You want to make sure you want to play bridge or something else with it. And it's not worth very much. So I'm not sure if it's even worth it anymore. Especially when you're going for a big game. Left ramp. New rule of pressure. His highest single shot is his entire score. Okay. That's not bad. That's actually not a bad idea. Because I can make that work. Evidently, I can do nothing one-handed. Like, you still own me every single time. I would not be able to own you on this game one-handed. I actually would be surprised. You would have to have a bad game.
    79:02
    All right. Eberra. I like this mode. And we're... I should have probably prepped the multiball. No, you don't need a multiball. This mode is easy enough. You just, you know, hit the flashy shot.
    79:17
    Alright, we're going to do this one right there, to that. It's a little scary, but it's going to work. It's fine, it's fine, we're all good. It's a little scary, but once again, totally good. So the reason George only got one danger there is not because of the earplugs, but because he's on wood floor, which means even the smallest move will just take the whole thing with it. Awesome slide saving skills, obviously. Elagos, welcome to the stream.
    80:02
    Man, it's like you're at an expo. It took so long to get used to the concrete, because every time you do a slide save, you would go like an entire foot to the left or right. Big time, I like that. I like that. I'll do that.
    80:18
    I mean, I kind of want to beat all of them, but at the same time, let's be realistic. That's probably not going to happen. I believe in you.
    80:25
    I can't tell. Is Depeche Mode done? I feel like I heard a random violin play. I'm going to flip this guy over.
    80:37
    Actually, do I know any of the songs on this side? Oh, we're going to enjoy the silence. Everyone was all about enjoying the silence. I really hope it plays music and it's not actual silence.
    80:54
    Hey, surreal! I was so greedy of me. Hi, P. Gilbert. Hi, P. You're an ass. You must be a billionaire. There it is. You're wasting your time watching someone else play pinball. Nice. Super secret for $30 million. Yeah. Unique skill shot, plus one X, two Godzilla power-up, and award ally. Yeah, so it's fine, but you can't pick which ally you get when you do it. It just gives you one. Okay. So that's fine. Got it late and didn't realize it was extra until fall three. Man, love seeing the crisp live. I know. What's caution? and it's... Yeah.
    81:47
    Uh-oh. Calculating it. There it is. Yeah, yeah. I mean, you wanted to show the drop catch. You know, you got complimented on the live catch. I actually just can't shoot the right round more than once in a row.
    82:03
    Ice Key, dude, thank you for raving. And that's a good reminder. if you're here tonight and you haven't been around before and you want to change the lights in the house and have it do weird things and also change the color of the stream, you go ahead, exclamation point color, and follow that up with a hexadecimal. That was a wild... That's what blows my mind about this game is how many unintentional weird combos that happened.
    82:30
    Yeah, higher peanut. Blue is going to make the under lights happen, but it's gonna fail on the big lights outside. Also, Jeff, welcome to the stream. Just redeemed old-timey action. Thank you.
    82:47
    When Escher is playing bad or can't hit the right ramp more than once in a row, he just said so, and he is immediately wrong. Yeah, because when I realize the patterns, then I dedicate everything to making sure that it's like... Okay, I'm not missing it again, kind of thing. You know? Like, I make sure I hit it. Because I'm thinking about it. Uh, this is not worth very much. Also, surreal! I just realized that that was a subscription! Surreal! My hat's off to you. Thank you so much! Stomp all over the colors. Yeah, Jeff, do it! Stomp all over the colors. It's fine! Make it black and white! Pew! Interesting. Old-timing should be more sepia. That's a good point, as opposed to, I just like black and white. I know, that was interesting. I thought maybe for a second it was going to happen. But, you guys, there are a number of other streamers in chat right now. I'm going to do a bunch of shout-outs really quick. And if I miss somebody, you go ahead and let me know, and I or another mod will shout you out as well.
    83:56
    Exclamation point color drop table. Obviously, I'm protecting against equal injection attacks, right? Obviously. Super obvious. Thank you, Pinsomniac. And I've got you.
    84:10
    I'm doing the Pinsomniac here. No narcs in this witchcraft. No narcs. No narcs? No narcs. I don't understand that reference.
    84:20
    What does that mean? I have nothing out of it. No narcs. What does that mean? It's a no snitches. Okay. Yeah, it seemed like no one's been.
    84:32
    Saw nothing. That's what's causing. George is a narc. Hey, try to tilt. Welcome to the stream. Also, oh, somebody just did something. What is that? Nothing. Yeah, see, nothing happened. I don't know what chat's on about, or I'm even on about. Nothing happened. Also, check out, this is Escher. We're going to get him to stream consistently here. at some point in the future. So go hit the follow button and give Ekstra a follow if you're not already following. George is a tilt-bop. No idea what you're talking... I don't understand the market. Like, what am I missing here? Everybody else seems to know, or at this point they're just agreeing to also say nothing happened, even though we also may not understand. I don't know why you're not just dropping it, George. Nothing happened.
    85:20
    Hey, uh, SimloNo, welcome. It's only the smoke of burning chips, Hot boxing's a ruse. What? I don't know on that one either. As long as muscle memory never transfers over to tournament play. Aha. All right. Exclamation point. XO Sammy Higgins.
    85:40
    Also, another place to follow Ecker here would be clicking this link. Twitter.com slash Steve O'Pub. and who else do we got here we have exclamation point nice thank you Pinsomnia we've got anvil82 and Sid Heresy exclamation point so Sid Heresy is that EY though no it isn't there we go I'm just flooding click all those people click the follow button Another one is... Oh, we already did. We got Surreal. And... And who else?
    86:31
    I'm scrolling back up here right now. Oh my god. Wait, I did hit the Pinsomniac. Okay, cool. So we got the Pinsomniac. And... Was it... Is it try underscore tilt?
    86:48
    Try to tilt. I don't remember how to say it. Oh, and you tilted while I was trying to find out how to type in try to tilt. Yeah, I don't know how that happened. Try to tilt, you gotta say something. So that way I have your name available again.
    87:02
    I don't know what happened, Chad. The game just tilted. It just happened. No narks. Oh my god! You death saved! That's what happened! That's what the narking was! I just realized that. Are you kidding me right now? He finally got there. Hey, Ports Under Siege, welcome. Hey, check out the old timing. There we go.
    87:28
    No, he didn't. No defending Asher. Here's a real one. And Ports Under Siege, thank you so much for the follow.
    87:38
    I thought George would get that high score. Might have to do something about it. That's what's going to happen here. You're like, you got the best position. Nope, no luck. Well, no, it was that you got the high score for this battle. Oh, got it. I need a... Oh, yeah, I wasn't even close to 50. No offense to Anvil for you putting it in as, but... Yeah, you're taking it. I got it.
    88:05
    Seven crates. Clips or it didn't happen? Well, there wouldn't be any clips of it because it didn't happen. Oh, oh, gotcha, gotcha. Okay, hey, Forza Under Siege, this is a cool-looking pinball machine. not only is it cool looking, it is arguably one of the greatest pinball machines ever made. I don't know, it's definitely a top two for me, or maybe even top three for me in Keep Elwynn games. Okay. Which also happens to all be in my top five as well, so.
    88:37
    Is it basically just the four Elwynn games and then something else? No, Avengers is not up there. Okay. Is it because of the Captain Marvel rant? No, there's a plethora of things. Okay.
    88:49
    But none of them are like, just like make the game unplayable. It's just that, it's like a game to own is not my favorite.
    88:57
    Hey, Sky Hoshi, thank you so much for that follow. My hat's off to you. Welcome. JP number, there's no question, Jurassic Park is number one. Yeah, I think it's the best game made. It's so good. Oh, I nearly tied with you for a second until I hold the button down and now I'm ahead of you.
    89:17
    He said so callously right then. Oh, no. I'm so spiteful. That's fine. I'll find something. Come on. Avengers is not bad. It's just bad if you consider the other games. Right. It's only when you compare it to the other Masterpieces. I'm a big fan of the game. It's just not a fun tournament game.
    89:42
    Oh, that sucks. It's not a fun tournament game? No. There's one thing then on the tournament game that makes it like, there's one thing you do in the tournament And if you do it, you will win, unless your opponent also does it And then if your opponent also does it, then it's like pity points But it's hard to do, unless you own the game, then it's really easy to do What is it? So you start with the Mind Gem, which is the blue one Okay, you finish that up and you place it on Black Panther. And then you finish the Yellow Gem with your multi-ball and a 3X. So now you're at about 150 million and your Soul Gem is ready. Now you have to make sure your Black Panther is sitting at level 1, not lower, not higher. You go in and you play it on the hard difficulty. You play Soul Gem on hard. And then you beat Soul Gem on hard. and now you're sitting at 500 or 400 million. If you're on a premium, before you do this, you just shoot the right, the Marvel ramp, as many times as you want before to boost up the value. Okay. And then after, you go into Thanos attacks and you intentionally lose the yellow gem by timing it out after you get the other two gems back.
    91:03
    And then you play the yellow gem again. Wait a second. I think the answer to the question is how do you do it? It's a complicated set of rules. It's super complicated. And it's also like, it's not like an exploit that you intentionally lose. But it's definitely not intended that way.
    91:21
    So if you just do that, you're good for a billion every game. And it's really boring. And if you don't own the game, you can just watch a tutorial. You have to do it a couple times.
    91:31
    If you own the game, you would know what I'm saying right now. But it's hard to pull off. You really like the whole smash. That's, yeah.
    91:44
    I love Mothra. That's obviously why I chose Mothra. No, I'm all right with Mothra now. I've come around. Okay. Loop value, 250, obviously.
    91:57
    Oh, rematch with Eberra? Yeah, you have to. I have to? I would. Okay. We're going to finish up Eberra. Are you too much for me? Yeah, well, even for me and even Z-Mac, the game is a little too much that we opt to just do the safe, boring strat. Because there's too much.
    92:20
    I don't know. That's a lot. It's still a great game because there's so much to learn. And it's hard to pull everything off. But the game isn't that interesting. Another reason I don't like it is if you mess up stuff during the game, your game's kind of dead. For, like, scoring-wise. And getting to the end is not very hard. So I have to add mind-gaming to this. Thanks for making the game more boring. My pleasure. It's my specialty. But Z-Mac really told me about that a long time ago. And I said he was insane. And then he did it at Expo. No, not Expo. Like a local. He did it like four or five times in a row. And he was good for $700 million every game. And then at a local, he did it every single time. for five minutes. It's like, okay, I get it, DMACC. That's the strat. I doubted you and I sure enough.
    93:15
    So you want to flick twice. Good decision making. I like what I'm seeing right now. Are you back in the center?
    93:30
    You get one shot. Okay, we're good. We're good. It's too deep for you? Yeah. It's too deep for most people. Like I said, it's just like, ah, crap. Alright. You can shoot the spinner. You have seven seconds left on your battle. Okay, a little harder than that, but your timing... Nice. Backhand and scoop. That's a first. I haven't seen that one before. I have also never done that one. I don't like that backhand.
    94:03
    GZ wins want the premium instead of the pro. Oh my god, I was not paying attention. GZ wins the award of the premium not the pro? Yeah.
    94:16
    George lane passing his race combo like a champ. I know, I, it was so bad. It's a new thing. Aww. I saw the same read, it had some back spin on it. Yep. Enjoying the silence?
    94:32
    Alright. What's up next? Next up is... The building falls... Falling slows the game. Yeah. The pro isn't as slow, but I... I 100% recommend the premium over the pro on this game. Like, it is totally worth it.
    94:53
    Let's see here. I... See? I... Well, do I stick with hackers? Ooh, you know what? I've got fun. Man, I haven't thought about fun in years.
    95:05
    They made one album and just left, right? Two albums, I think. They made a second one? Yep. So this is some night.
    95:14
    I'll probably know every song on it, like all the lyrics, but I can't remember the last time I listened to them.
    95:23
    This is my newest record pickup, actually. I was at Barnes & Noble the other day and they had this and I'm like, huh, I don't have fun I mean, no, no, no, I have fun personally wow, that was like the meanest drink ever, holy shit oh wow are we on ball three or was that game two? I think we're on ball three you're only at 533 easy peasy catch up god, I wasted that multi-ball
    95:56
    Okay, I'll take that. We're going to finish this mode, darn it, three times. Two of the four, and what do we need? Fourteen Mechagodzilla spinners. Oh, not the Mechagodzilla spinners. That's not good. Oh, okay. The mecha got you. Alright, you're 0 for 3 on these vacants. You made it 0 for 4 now. Yep. I'm going to hit that paw bumper. I'm going to hit it from there. Nice. I tried to do that at the start of my game and I nearly keep that one myself. So, right, Alan? I'm just happy I called it and actually did it. At least I'm batting .2. I'll take .2.
    96:56
    That's fine. I'd like to see the new Hedora mode. I think I have Hedora lit. I'll start it for you next of all. Alright, what do I need to do? I need to select my city. Select city and power up.
    97:13
    Darn it. So give me, what is Hedora mode? So if you get two secret combos, your next major cannon award is start Hedora. Tier one battle time bonus? I like the time. Yeah. Oh, that's not the time, but that's... Oh, well they both said time. Yeah, it's true. But yeah, two secret combos, you get a major cannon, and then it's a switch based mode where all the switches add to the jackpot, and then it's just like a green shot that moves around for the rest of the ball. They can get... This is the song. I have no idea what he says in this line. Some night time.
    97:55
    I wish that my lips would build a castle. His lips will build a... What does that mean? Lips to build a castle that you could... I don't... That the words you say could build a structure, build some sort of an entity to house your somethings. I don't know. I'm just making this completely up as I go. Yeah, well, I mean, I guess that's what he's... I'm... I don't know if you needed all that, but that was a nice slide save. Oh my goodness. That was a nice slide save. That's how I roll! You're fighting for your life here, man. Alright, we're cool. We're cool. Super cool. No biggie. Oh man, we have attack bridge lit. Obviously we can hit the heck out of that spinner there. Two easy secret combos, I believe shooting the spinner, not flipping the upper flipper, and then shooting the bot bumper is one. That one's pretty safe and pretty easy, or actually the scoop is probably better. I think right ramp into the mazer cannon is also one. And
    98:59
    if you do that one second I'm pretty sure it just starts the Dora. There it is. Yeah, it is lips. I'd stay up cashing in my bad luck. Some nights I'd call it a draw. Some nights I wished that my lips could build a castle. See, that doesn't make sense, because he goes with my bad luck, and then he calls it a draw, and then, I don't know. It's awesome. I could never, when I was a kid, that line always got to me. I had no idea what he was saying.
    99:25
    Oh, my God. I saw these guys open for Panic at the Disco, it feels like, really, really recently. Oh, really? Yeah. I thought, weren't they like a band of like, a band of bands where like none of them, they like came together for a project or something? I mean... It wasn't like a whole band thing? That's why they only had one album?
    99:44
    That's what I heard, but I might be wrong. Wow. I don't know what I'm shooting for right now. Oh, it's the stand-up targets. Okay, cool. Now I'm going for a multiball, although I'll probably time things out if I do that. Yeah, if only you picked the award that gave you an extra ten seconds during the mode rather than... Yeah, we have Mothra.
    100:15
    I feel like that was sarcasm again! No, you have Mothra. I'm okay with Mothra. Oh, and I have Angiurus. Okay. We're good. I like the one on the right. That one's pretty... He's like, sure. I don't have to go.
    100:32
    Yeah. I did not like that part when I was like nine. I didn't like how he said the fuck word. Yeah. I'm also not a fan. I know you're probably not a fan. I think I've heard you say that word once ever.
    100:49
    I don't think you... He says, I swear a little bit. I do swear. It's usually just with a lot of alcohol and preferably never on stream. Yeah, you've never swore on stream from what I can tell. Oh, no, it happens. I'm sure it does.
    101:05
    Darn it, all the times to accidentally hit. All right. So you can start multiple in this mode, but you also have nine seconds left.
    101:15
    Yeah. You can power plunge and see if you hit the stand-up target. I wasn't in the power plunge I was talking about. I talked to you about the power plunge, right? Like the real power plunge? Oh, you mean like slap the hell out of it? No. No, what do you mean?
    101:29
    Huh? You haven't hit... Oh, I was going to say, you can just let it go there. I can show you. I can give a tutorial to chat so people know how to power punch without hurting the game. Because when you slap it, it's not great for the spring.
    101:45
    But there is a way of doing it. I think most people know about it, but maybe not. Nice save. No dangers either.
    101:56
    So you can just restart your battle and then... Oh, you do need to hit your destruction. I do need to hit destruction. So I'm going to hit destruction here. Almost happened last night after four stream crashes. Yeah. Oh, my God. The stream crashes were so, so awful. It was hard to come back from that, honestly.
    102:19
    Pins on me, Agnes. but I'll give a detailed explanation it's kind of hard if you don't know alright ready to go back into the battle yes thank you game thank you All right back in And now let get into our multiball which we have prepped
    102:39
    I'm thinking about it. I have no idea. When I was a kid, I had no idea what he meant by higher than the entire state. I get it now. It makes sense now. I get it. Okay, good.
    102:54
    What's caution? Congrats on getting into tournament play. It can be so much fun. It can also be super disappointing or disheartening. It's hard to start. You will suck for a while. Yeah. I started playing when I was three, and I was really bad until I was, like, 12. So I played for nine years competitively before I had any success whatsoever.
    103:19
    My first, like, actual decent performance was when I was 11. So yeah, I was eight years in. And that's with a dad that was already a top player that was coaching me the whole time and owning games at home. So don't expect to succeed immediately.
    103:39
    But there's a lot of wonderful online resources to help you. And the best way you can get better is to watch. That's what I always say.
    103:50
    I know that... That's all right. He has Macho. Darn it! That's okay. Everyone lurks different too, yeah. Because then you have your Jordan the Chains of the World who just kind of get it. I can't wait for Jordan to just be in chat. He always lurks. He's always around. It's like scary. I got the last... Not quite. No, you have to hit Major Cannon next. You already hit that one. Okay. So... So I can go back into my Kaiju battle and Juris is also lit. Thank you, I'll take that.
    104:29
    I'll take that. Yeah, Lock Cats are feeling much more natural now. Nice. Oh, we're at our level three. Yeah, the middle one's the multi-ball. If you want to try and... I can't... If you beat me here, if you do better than me, then you have the high score. You have the chance. Alright. Anvil, I'm getting it back for you. I'm getting it back. Jordan shows up now and then, he's like four times, yeah, he's different. Hi, CNK. CNK, welcome to the stream. There we go.
    105:08
    I don't know why I'm struggling to keep my feet, oh my god. I was going to say, you're very, you're waltzing out right now. I am very sorry for the waltz. Oh, I forgot about the ediball. Oh, I would have reminded you, but I didn't remember either. Alright, that looks like it does something cool there. What's my... Yeah, Jordan is... Also, if you're starting to play competitive pinball in Colorado, I got bad news for you, which is you picked the hardest state in the United States to play. To play pinball? You have to beat Walt. You have to beat Jordan. You have to beat me and my dad. You have to beat Donovan. You have to beat Zach McCarthy and also every single local because they're so used to playing against these players that they have no choice but to be good if they won even top four tournaments, you know?
    106:15
    So, Colorado is rough. And the best part is, you don't even get whoppers here. Because we only have 40-something players in each part of Colorado. I got an extra ball! I did the thing! You did?
    106:31
    So, some of this moved out there a few years ago. We have a wonderful pinball scene in Colorado. Oh, yeah. Colorado is amazing. It doesn't matter where you are in Colorado. is pinball. Denver has five arcades. In between Boulder and Denver has like four arcades. And in between, in Fort Collins as well as next to Fort Collins and on the way to Boulder, there's like another four arcades. You know? So, East Denver is a nightmare though. Never East Denver is weird. But as long as you're in Denver, you're in shooting range, you know, 20, 30 minutes. So there's Hetero. So now the weird nuclear dream is what we call it. Okay. Now I'm in this mode basically forever. Until you dream, yep. Look at that, 24 million. Feeling it, feeling it. I got this. Had a bang with Bowen and Josh Henderson. Man, I wish Henderson still played. His playstyle was so entertaining. And he was so good. He nearly won Papa when he was 14.
    107:55
    Gurr game. Gurr. All right, here, get your phone up. All right, phone out. What am I doing? We're doing PowerPoint tutorial. Ah, cool. Okay, here we go. So there's two ways of PowerPointing. One of them will sometimes leave a giant welt on your hands, which is when you just... Wait, wait, wait. Yeah. Right now? So here's your regular plunger, right? It doesn't have a spike. I think Stars has a spike. No it doesn't. Well some of the older ones they have spikes so if you power plunge by just doing that really hard it's going to hurt like really bad. So you don't, that's not the way of doing it. Which is you go, you pull it all the way back and then you put your thumb like this. And now you can't see it but I'm actually pushing with my thumb as hard as possible while also holding this hand. Okay. And then when I'm ready to plunge, I just let go.
    108:57
    Okay. So it power plunged so hard it flew off of Mechagodzilla. Like it didn't even make it around. So that's how you do it. Okay. You have to do it. It's kind of weird. But once you get it, you get it. If that makes sense.
    109:15
    So there you go. Okay, there you go. Now we know. Now we know how to power plunge. And that works with spikes. It still hurts a little bit, but.
    109:23
    I didn't even see that coming. No! I still won. Okay. And I also won where it matters too, which is I'm about to get a new high score on the board. Oh, it got delivered to the side. We'll put this one in a DJL. All right, all right. I lost Guy again. It's, uh, yeah, dead jack. All right, it's fine. It's fine. We're gonna, we can bring this back. I'm still not disappointed with my score, honestly. All right. What is the best game for a power plunge? Ask higher P-Knight. You got... Oh, it's easy. One more game? I'll go with one-handed. One-handed, one more game. Yep. All right.
    110:03
    The best power plunge, it's the easiest one. What do you think it is? Let me think about that. He's thinking about it. I got nothing. I have no idea what the best Power Plunge game would be. I wonder if someone in chat also knows.
    110:27
    Avengers with a bad spring. That is true. But most of the time, when Avengers don't make it around, it's not because you aren't plunging hard enough. Because it's not, like, centered. It's really annoying. Or it's the manufacturing spring issue. Dialed In. Dialed In is definitely one. But I'm saying a game that, It's not that it has a bad plunge and you have to power plunge. I'm saying, again, that you benefit from power plunging really, really hard.
    110:58
    I'll give some people some time. It's a solid state and a very popular one, too. Stars? Nope. Creature is important. Yeah, creature is important, but it's not required. If you have decent timing, you don't need it.
    111:17
    Wonka? Where's Wonka even... I don't even know where it goes all the way around. It goes probably straight down the middle. Yeah, like go through the pops.
    111:33
    Alien Poker. Alien Poker? Yeah. Okay. Because sometimes that game doesn't have a gate on the shooter lane, right? So the ball turns up more often than you would think in the shooter lane with the spinner way. So the harder you plunge, the more points you get. Okay.
    111:52
    Enough so that... Oh, I thought I was going to bounce over. That was a really bad time of the game. Never played alien poker. So if you look up a play field of it, the plunger goes on an S pattern. From the plunger, it goes around and into the top. And then there's a spinner there.
    112:12
    And again, there's no gate on it, so the ball falls into the shooter lane all the time. And you just... Yeah, you just power... Alien Poker, I barely know.
    112:23
    It better give me that back, because that was awful. That way your Wonka game is over ASAP. Personally, I prefer to concede to Zach McCarthy when I'm playing Wonka.
    112:35
    He's the only person who's ever picked Wonka against me, and I didn't even play Ball 1. I quit. Did you? Yeah. Ball's down 13 million. I don't know how to get 13 million in that game. I think it's the same playfield. It is. I don't know if it... I think it's the exact same playfield. Oh no. I'll take that. That felt really good. I didn't see it, but I'll take your word for it. Okay. It looks like it. The rules are different though. I remember I played it, because I saw it was in the bank of Invis. You were there. You were there I think at uh, what's it, uh, VOO. Oh VOO, not me. Was it VOO? I think so. At uh, what's it called, I don't remember any names right now man.
    113:29
    You blew it up on finals. Nice. Yeah, I won the entire tournament without playing it once. And I didn't practice because I knew no one was going to pick it.
    113:45
    I don't even know what the bounty was. Some of the bounties were really stupid. No offense to Indus, but man. When I saw Mystery Castle was get the crown, I was like, wait, I thought the tournament strategy was getting the crown. Like that was the thing in the game, which it kind of is. Oh, max multiplier.
    114:08
    Thank you for the follow. Thank you. Funovic. Something like that. I'm not good with names. You picked a bad time to follow because George has one line already. He's concentrating. What? No! It's the hats off for the follow and that's what heroes do. Do you feel fans on flippers are needed or not really? It depends on what game. If it's... what's that game called? Mystery Castle, then yes. them. Because those flipper mechs are shitty as fuck. Yeah, also, he needs Ninja Turtles. Really? They have bad flippers? Yes. Lord of the Rings needs them, Simpsons needs them. What do I need? Did I not finish it? Yeah, you lost, I'm sorry. Jedi McMuffin sent you. Jedi, welcome to the stream. Well, Jedi isn't here, but Steve Vunovic was sent here by Jedi. Hey, welcome. Is it Fun-a-vich or is it Fun-a-vick? I have to rematch it, by the way. I played Godzilla after nine hours on free play.
    115:18
    It needs them to hit the... Oh, yeah. I guess any game, if you benchmark the shit out of the game like that, where you put on free play with constant play for nine hours, then it probably needs it. Well, that Hedera... At least you're consistently getting 500k. Not Hedera. You're two in a row now.
    115:41
    If you don't play for long, you don't need fans. True. I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know what I can do.
    115:52
    You can make progress. Funavik or Funavich. Either way works for me. Uh oh. That... I can't nudge that. I could have saved that if I had both hands. It's so hard to aim with, like shooting the left flipper with my right hand. What's considered long? I also play for one or two hours at most at any given time. That's pretty long. I usually play one game when I'm like ready to play. But I do get bored easily. It depends also what game you're playing, or if it's just, you know, a single game versus, like, a bunch of games. You know, there's a lot.
    116:37
    Oh, yeah, sometimes I will play for an hour on a single game, but I don't always do that. All right, Destruction Jackpot. Got it.
    116:49
    First 6.3 million. I'll take it. I'll take it. Three, two, one. I'll take it for nothing Bob. Thank you. Only when you have pressure on. Yeah sometimes
    117:05
    Sometimes pressures I mean pressure still gets to me. I Don't know I kind of distract myself now because there's like nobody in pinball that I'm like scared of playing anymore And I'm not like friends with
    117:20
    See you it's too strong How? How did you? No, there's, there's, it's fine. We don't have to go into it. It wasn't, it wasn't well thought out. Mistakes were made. How new is this table? How? The second most recent from sure. Yes. Rush came out, so. It is their penultimate release. Boom, used it, nailed it today. Wonderful. Love penultimate. It's such a good word. Great word.
    117:50
    When you do that, you should try and like instantly flip it into this cube. That's just, that was the secret. Don't do that, though. You are waltzing really hard right now. I am. No.
    118:05
    I need to dodge. Dodge. All right. So even though I'm in the worst state possible, I'm going to go back to two hints. No extra balls. I'm going to see if I can make something happen. Okay. Make something happen. I mean, you don't have anything going on, but you have things ready. You have things ready. I do. I have a lot of things prepped. I'm trying to think where I am, because I actually don't really know.
    118:30
    Pin ultimate? Ooh, Pinsomniac. I like that as a pinball-related gun. You can definitely get away with something there. Oh, yeah.
    118:39
    Yeah, hey, three fun of it. It's a great game. Yeah, higher peanut. You switched back to two hands. I'm back on two hands. Wasn't getting any. This game, I think, is exceptionally difficult. It's a little hard. One-handed.
    118:52
    There's too much... I doubt it would have been a drain. Yeah, there's... it's tough. Need my 2x right now.
    119:08
    Nice, nice, okay. Just playfield scoring for 60 seconds. Not 75. 5 million, Gigan Award. award. The right ramp $12 million.
    119:24
    Are you kidding me right now? Can you just keep doing this? No, that's over. But a Gigan final blow right there. Nice. It would have been a lot more if that was the first time through. Godzilla now controls Tokyo.
    119:42
    Is this Mark Silk who did the callouts on this? I have no idea. Whoever did the callouts, this is fantastic.
    119:51
    Take three. Two. One. That's it. Uh, Escher with one hand, this isn't my final form. I don't even know what happens. Oh yeah, it shoots the ball out. I'm sorry, I've never seen virtual walks on the finger before. It disposes of the ball very well. It does. That was a bummer. What am I doing? I'm swapping cities. Let me get that bonus.
    120:24
    Give me a bajillion points. Sure. Why not? What am I doing? I'm swapping to... Does it matter? Get my 16 million. Got to make George play at least.
    120:38
    That was quite the sneeze. I could feel it coming. I had to mute and everything. Yeah, I was going to say, you let it all out there.
    120:48
    How old am I? I'm about to be 19. Okay. May 3rd. Oh, wow. It is really close. Yeah. A bajillion points. Ten seconds. About to... Oh. Ten seconds. Do that one as opposed to the time bonus is 5x. I know they both have time on them.
    121:13
    You did say choose the time one. They both said time. Sorry, I meant like literal time. Yeah. Well, I mean, the other one references time. Literally. Can you not read, George? No!
    121:27
    Yeah. And you've been playing pinball for 16 years. Yeah, well over the 10,000 hours at this point, Mike. Yeah, it's not even close either.
    121:37
    I'm well above my 10,000 hours. Higher Peanut would like to remind everyone that time is an illusion.
    121:46
    Uh-oh. No, my value! That's okay. I don't even know how many locks I have. Not game over for the human race. Wow! I said I couldn't play extra balls, but I didn't say I couldn't death dip. I saw that one!
    122:11
    Escher learns how to read from pinball. It was really cool. I was at the flip side down in Loveland and I was playing, I don't know, like Walking Dead or something, it doesn't matter, but there was this kid that was playing, that was like really into pinball, like trying to like learn rules and stuff. And he was playing Lord of the Rings and his dad's like, oh, I guess you're kind of old enough now to watch Lord of the Rings. So I was like, this kid is doing what I did. He's learning, he's learning to do pinball. Brew pinball. Yeah. So, um, Bill from Memphis, welcome to the stream. Did it get really quiet? We haven't changed our volume at all. Yeah, because the music went away. Oh, okay. It's hard to put your finger on it sometimes. I feel like there's a joke in there somewhere where we can take that very literally. Probably. I don't have my button.
    123:21
    That was not hard enough. To light my button. Alright, goodbye ball. I couldn't just watch it go. I had to step in. You saved it, it was good.
    123:40
    I meant to do that. I nearly forgot about my button. What was the first pin you understood or something clicked that made you able to whoop your dad? I hate to say it, but it was South Park. It was South Park! When I realized, damn, I can really just kill Kenny over and over and over again for no danger whatsoever. I'm like, damn, this pinball, I can abuse the rules and keep games. I was the... It's really sad to say, but even though how awful Sound Park is as a pinball machine, it was my favorite game when I was like five, just because I could hit Kenny and, you know, bump the ball over and kill Kenny for five million over and over and over and over again. Okay. And was that your first abuse, kind of like Johnny Mnemonic-style abuse? Yeah.
    124:37
    Which we're allowed to talk about now. Yeah, we can talk about it. Bill from Memphis. You were actually the one that was asking about the giant mnemonic thing, if I remember correctly. And I couldn't tell you, but the secret's out now. Yep. If you know about it, let me know. But if you don't, I'm happy to recap.
    124:55
    All right. That should be, that's like a doable score. I'm sure. Yeah. 361. Easy. You don't know. Okay. Oh. Let me tell you. Wait, you have an extra ball. Yeah, I'm just letting it go.
    125:08
    Do a little. That was a little hard. Man, is Dalton in here? Because that's the tap pass right there. More of like, Shatzing with style. Alright. Three points forever. I love three points forever. Wow. So, I blame the secret coming out. It wasn't totally me. It totally wasn't as usual. It's fine. You can still play it in tournaments. Just say it's not allowed. You can just tell people to not do it, and it's fine. So my dad coined it the Yusnuza instead of the Yakuza. That's a good name. Oh, you didn't get to pick. That's okay. I did. So anyway, this is what it is. On Dynamonic, you light your locks, and then you start Yakuza Strike. You then shoot your lock. You get $40 million for shooting the lock, and now you get to pick where you want to put the ball with the hands. Instead of doing that, you move it towards the grid, and then you move it back, and then you drop it back into the lock. You get 40 million for the Yakuza, and it shoots it back into the glove. And you just do it forever. There's no danger, and the only thing that will happen is the glove will eventually overheat and break. So that's the thing. There's a reason I didn't want to say it on stream, because it does make the game not viable for tournaments.
    126:36
    But now the secret's out, so... There you go. That Mothra, we got the best one! Yeah! You might beat me, that was a big final blow there. We had two Ekko, it didn't even...
    127:02
    We need more Keanu pins. What else is... I don't think a John Wick would be any good. Bill and Ted? Yeah, Bill and Ted would... That's definitely more doable.
    127:26
    Cyberpunk would do well? Yeah, maybe. I don't know. Not good. More than you think. There you go. I've seen you so many times do that, but go a little too low. Yeah.
    127:54
    Oh, no. That's all right. It's easier with two anyways. I forgot. It's on the line right now. You only need 250 million more. On a Godzilla that's not a lot. Especially when you have Tetsu start coming. So, shot spotted, and I can do that, oh my 8 million. Big spinner up here. That would have been really sad if you got one spin. They have a super lit.
    128:29
    Nice. Yeah, try and rip the spinner really, really good. Oh, right around to the multi-ball. Not good.
    128:45
    What was that? I had that exact same thing. Nice. Dude, where's my car? All right, get your spinner. Nice. up to 10 million you really do need an ally but point break I've heard of that but I don't know I don't think I've seen it what is it it's a it might have been it's a Keanu Reeves movie see yeah well yeah but uh so imagine You can't do it in Mothra, but instead during multi-ball you can also add a ball as well. So you gotta... nevermind. Alright, we did it. Hit both flippers at the right time. Aw, that was too... not quite. Alright, so we've got... Yeah, they could definitely do Matrix, for sure. Okay, 22 million, good start. We got this. Three, two, one.

    Nice. All right. Now we go there. If it went the right way, that was the right play. It went down the right side, not the left. I know. What's going on with that? Go for it again, I guess. I could do the select city and get a bonus there. That's actually a good idea, because you also have your... The tank? Oh, the tank is lit.
    130:34
    Hi, George. I knew it. I got it. We are not staying in there. We're going to collect our bonus over here. You light another center. This is happening.
    130:47
    We're doing this. Hit the center, and it gets interesting. Nice 3x. Yeah, it seems... I thought it was like someone making Matrix, but yeah, it's like a... Oh my goodness.
    131:01
    No! Ah! We got this. Bad news. From Escher in the future to Rue in the past. Bad news. That would have... You had it, man. I would have multiballed in that destruction when it got me there.

    Excellent game. Good game. don't panic Brick George got this yeah don't panic Brick I have a shirt you do have that shirt I want it did you end up getting it by the way I did it shipped to my parents house by accident so I haven't I think they have it it's in all my shirts at home so we are a little after 12 thank you so much for staying late no worries and everyone here my name is George this show is don't panic flip and man had such a fun time on Godzilla tonight Our special guest was Escher. First time playing pinball. Everyone, I think, a big hand at this point for really good... Thank you, Insomniac, for throwing out the don't panic brick emote. First time playing... Yeah, first time. Yeah, yeah. Excellent job putting up some really big scores today. Beginner's luck. Outside of that, you can check out Escher at twitch.tv slash steveopub. you can also check out Escher on Twitter at twitter.com slash steveopub you sent me your logo and I just realized now I never added it to the stream I added it to the one downstairs you should have had Escher's logo on this stream all night tonight I will make sure that it's here for the next time thank you for joining us thank you for showing us I feel like all of the cool new things I didn't quite get to point that that's the coolest part I got close so that's what matters maybe next, oh, and then maybe an update at some point. Oh, man. There's a really fun part about having a newer machine in that you get to experience the game as it changes. That's both a mixture of frustrating, but also super fun, because you get to play the game, and then they add new features, and you kind of learn as they add content. It really helps, I feel like, at least for me, where I get to play it where it doesn't have all of the rules in it. I get to play a simplified version, and then they add complexity detune over time. I really like that. Anyway, you guys, have a great night. Make sure to check out not only Escher, but all of the other streamers that hit us up tonight. Some huge raids. I'm going to have to throw out some tweets on Twitter thanking Anvil and Sid Heresy and MPT3K, and I feel like there was other people as well. Thank you so much. Sammy Higgins, the Pinsomniac, and IceSkiDude, Jenna McMuffin who wasn't here, but had people sent over to come check us out or send people over to come check us out and like a dozen other people. Thank you so much. We will see you back on Thursday on the Pinball Network and then likely some streams this weekend coming up. We've got some games we've got to play. We have to finish up Guardians of the Galaxy because I don't want that game in the house anymore. I will see you guys later. Bye.
