Sometimes, Arthur, sometimes I forget to put VPX on there. And then people come and they see, you know, this and all the stuff. And then it looks like a real game until you look at the pinball and you think, oh, that pinball is moving a little weird. weird. Craig is the C in C Bobby. Nice. Oh. What's up, Wynn?

Now we live in an age where there's two types of pinball There's physical and there's virtual Deal with it They both exist They both require Skill Extra ball Right I wouldn't have gotten that extra ball if I was a sucker If I was a sucker punk If I was what they call a punk from the rucka If I was a sucker A sucker punk from the rucka You don't do that without skill! Hi. Let's see. Love Unity if so. Tried installing VPX on my desktop. Couldn't get the right flipper to work. Couldn't get the right flipper to work. Let me try again if a new version comes out.

And what she really meant was, I love you. That's right. It's Rebecca's job. She's just working abusive families. Oh, thank you, C. Bobby. No one does the Waka Woo anymore. Oh, my goodness. Not to help but for research. Okay. Old school. Nail Buster, what did you mean by kick? Ask you wish-ger. I do learn from the best. That's right. Since I have you all, since I have your attention, hello darkness my old friends as i have you all attention i want to remind you that i have a charity stream coming up this sunday for the pinball outreach project it will start at 10 a.m pacific time and go as long as i can go probably about six hours um i'm thinking of doing a list of the games that i will be playing so this is going to be broadcast from this is going to be broadcast from Free Gold Watch on Sunday. I am picking, I don't know, 15 games and I will be playing all of them, I think. Anyway, I'm thinking of doing something where a donation, a nice donation and you can you can pick the next game I play. We're going to be playing a lot of games. a lot of the games there um what is pinball outreach uh pop plp pinball outreach project it is a uh organization that's been around for quite a while and they um one of the things that they do is they provide um games like you know pinball machines and stuff like that they used to have an uh a location um they don't have i don't think they have a location anymore but they do it's kind of like um they put pinball machines in hospitals and stuff for kids to play with you know and um um you really support the community i know tj buyer is one of the uh people on the board so i always go through him and i talk to him and he's always they're always very you know i mean obviously they they're a charity so donations mean a lot to them so i did it two years ago from free gold watch we did i think an 11 hour stream i'm not going to do that this year uh what's up mr scoot 10 a.m people awake then Have you not seen the Princess Bride Manor? Yes, I have. But I don't quote it. I left it right. So if I missed a quote, I'm sorry. I don't have money to donate. I can barely afford subscriptions to your channel. Little Bubblegum, if you could join me at some point in there and just talk to me while I play games and collect money for a pinball outreach project, that would be cool. Anyway, that's all I'm going to say about that. They need to post on Instagram so I can share The ATX Bells page Oh okay Their last post was June 19th Yeah Yeah they They're still alive and around In fact Al Anonymous just did a stream And Deadflip did a stream Um So I'm uh I don't have a lot of stamina So what I'm going to do is I'm going to have a lot of I'm going to be alone I'm going to be alone after you go watch on Sunday Me and 50 machines Me and 50 pinball machines So me and about I figure 15 of them Are going to be playing On that day Hopefully we can raise some money It's a really good cause guys If you want to check it out Go check out the pinball outreach project I think .org or something like that Whoa, I didn't know that thing was up there. I didn't know that shot existed up there, actually. I'm an idiot. I forgot. That's the Mega Million shot. Ooh, don't... This game loves to moonwalk. It's like Michael Jackson on a good day. Sorry I'm missing chat. Let me find out what did I miss. Color Purple, Primro Project. Da-da-da. 11 hours or bust Captain 12 I don't know if I could do 11 hours Yes Manu is dreamy is true But what does that have to do with pinball By the way my current high score On Willy Wonka 12 million This guy this is how I did it 12 million on Willy Wonka I did it with this I did it with this a buddy of mine came over to play Willy Wonka with me and he found this it's from Jersey Jack it's the Willy Wonka game rules but it's like a spreadsheet of how to get all five golden tickets. One, two, three, four, five. Super hard to get all five golden tickets. Now I have 12 million as the GC on Wally Wonka and it's so much freaking fun. Where's your frame? Where's your frame? Where's your frame? Where'd that come from? Oh, wow. Tracy, if you want, Just do a Google for Willy Wonka Jersey Jack PDF It's beautiful Even if you don't play the game You should see how they laid it out It's brilliant Frame for Radical Die Oh jeez Crap frame for the rules the map of the rule set is more complicated than actually making it in the movie yeah I think you're right I think you're right I showed it to my wife and I'm like she's like I can't understand that I go that's the thing you can't understand this map unless you understand the game it's brilliant if you don't understand the game at all, you're not going to get that map. But if you understand the game, the map makes total sense. Whoa! Whoa! Man, that comes out of there like a freaking rocket. By the way, if you ever find yourself playing Radical, always shoot for the D. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! I want to ask Fliptronic a question. Not because they are any kind of authority, but because I really just want to know. Fliptronic, did you watch Jack Danger's Led Zeppelin stream? A. And B, the follow-up question is, if you did, what do you think of Led Zeppelin? And then anyone can answer that question, too. Let's talk a little bit about Led Zeppelin. We popped in. It's a game Alright It's a game It's a game So far I'm with you I watched Disappointingly Tracy Ramada Spacey Restrains herself Pirates rule map is looking nice I wonder if they got it posted in GNR GNR would be one too We watched a few minutes of Motor City Pinball stream Underwhelming at first I didn't see Jack's stream Come on y'all Come on y'all It's Stern They won't have their feelings hurt I'll tell you what I think I'll tell you what I think I was getting Serious I'm sure it's fun to shoot I was getting serious Rolling Stones vibe. Remember Rolling Stones? The Stern one? Not the first one. Not the Solid State from long ago. But the Rolling Stones with a Mick Jagger friggin' thing does this. What's up? What's up, Zora? With a Mick Jagger thing does this, right? I was like, oh, wow. They, uh... Look, I'll phone for a couple bucks at a bar, but I don't want to buy one. The Pro bricks all of my flow. The premium is too expensive just to buy Yeah, Mick on a Stick. That's the best. Mick on a Stick. So it reminded me of Mick on a Stick. That looks like one of those games that will be like, hey, once the code is there, I'd rather play Iron Maiden. What I thought of his stream tonight. He needs to get internet in there pronto Yeah Arthur This was the first time I tuned out of Jack's stream Just because I couldn't It was a slideshow But Look Don't consider my opinion Anything to Put any weight on Because this is the guy who loves Willy Wonka And I'm not saying Willy Wonka is a crap game But Willy Wonka is definitely Like a kiddie table. I think Pat Lawler is amazing at some times and doesn't know what the frack he's doing at other times. I think Willy Wonka is one of the most underrated tables. It is crazy fun. Crazy fun. Now, that being said, I was sleeping on Zeppelin. I was sleeping. I was kind of like, Man, I'd rather play Kiss And I'm talking about Stern's Kiss I'd rather play Kiss Growing Pains It's not a bad game I think it's funny how the Stern Rolling Stones Has jumped up in price Wow, really Couldn't give that game away 8 years ago What's up, Pin Daddy Yo Oh, by the way By the way I don't totally hate Rolling Stones I'm just saying that it gave me Rolling Stones vibes It's Rolling Stones is An interesting game too It has it's moments Question mark I would never own it I could flip it for a little while And have a little bit of fun Can you stop telling me what the frack to do? Thank you Uh oh Oh, Pinbot, I love you Um Pin Daddy, well There's no energy in LZ, it's too sleepy Well, I'm underwhelmed The Guns N' Roses rule sheet looks very bland Too bad Oh, did you look at the rule sheet? Pin Daddy? Did you find a PDF of the Guns N' Roses one? Never a fan of Led Zeppelin Like the Beatles as a group But the pin left me lukewarm I like the Beatles as a group But the pin left me lukewarm Um What do you guys think about Aerosmith? What do you guys think about the Aerosmith table? Hopdog, what's up? It feels like they're two decades Too late on the theme They're gonna start The next table? The who? I love Stern I think Stern is a great company They're doing great things For me the decision to drop the left side ramp on LZ Pro Just crushed my interest Need premium to get the full flow? No thanks Yes it's fine I'd love to play it here and there Like Guns N' Roses but I don't want to spend hours Working on like Game of Thrones Or Hot Wheels or Deadpool or Avengers You just named like four games that are better Aerosmith is decent Aerosmith is fun The Eagles The Eagles I actually enjoy Aerosmith Yeah There a sad amount of wish my dad was around to see this I talking You got it right Aerosmith is fun. Aerosmith is fun. So there we have it. I think we've decided that Aerosmith is fun. So our conclusion of Jack's dream on, or not Jack's dream, but our conclusion on Led Zeppelin right now is Aerosmith is fun. That's our conclusion. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for playing. Good night, everybody. Hey, what do you think about that new Led Zeppelin table? Oh, the new Led Zeppelin table? Yeah. Yeah, Aerosmith is fun. Hello, Darkness, my old friend. The PDF on the JGP site, went to see it. It was already posted. Sadly, it's not as nice as past rule sheets. Somebody really put some love into that Wonka rule sheet. See, Bobby likes Aerosmith. Fox Cities likes Aerosmith. Risk-reward. Please invent that as a first impression to him. Alright, well. Oh, thank you for the... Wait. Let me lock and then I'll I'll do the thing with the thing. There we go. Oh my god! Zorin with the biddies. Thank you so much. Wow, that's insane. You are an absolute legend once again! Oh my god. Oh my god. This is for you, Zor. This is for you, Zor. Oh, shoot. Boom! Did you see that? Did you see that? Did you see that awesomeness? That's for you, Zora, baby. Get up there. Get up there. Bam! Oh, did you hear the kicker? I mean, the nail... Did you hear the nail buster? The knocker. I call the knocker on my machine the nail buster. I don't know if... That's a compliment. When things get really awesome on my table, I just scream nail buster. I don't know why. Ice cream nail buster in other situations too, but that's private. Um... Doing fun things for New Year's Eve. Nope. Nope. You know what I'm doing New Year's Eve? I plan to play as many things as I can that I didn't play yet on New Year's Eve that's what I'm doing New Year's Eve I got guys I got 13 million on Radical right now Zonrith you are a legend Thank you once again for those biddies. Flalion Radical. Grr, ha, grr, oh, oh, oh. Quest 2, baby. Nice. Let's play VR Minigolf. Fliptronic. I think there's a whole bunch of... Wow. That sucks. bye now you know what the the the voltage isn't right so i'm gonna plug it in ray day pinball what's up oh man ray day shows up and my my stream just my playfield dies hang on we're gonna fix that ray day ray day ray day we want we were we were talking for a moment Let me answer your question Star Trek Bridge Crew I have it I don't know if I I suck at it Does your VP setup play VP8 tables? Asking for a friend No I don't I mean it could, sure I just don't have VP8 installed I am a strictly VP10 guy I'm a VP10 guy But it's as simple as just installing it Right and just running it. It would run just fine. I'm letting that charge up a little bit. A certain bear and bird friend. I don't know what that means. So, and I'm fine with that. Uh-oh, SpaghettiOs! He heard you praising Aerosmith. Hey, what's up? So, Ray, what do you know about Led Zeppelin? Spill it right now. Why is it not charging? It's fun? So here's my take on it right now. It's one of those games that you gotta actually flip on. Ray, don't worry about it. I was on Mr. Scoot's channel the other day, and I was wondering why I hadn't followed Mr. Scoot, even though I watched that motherfucker every single... Go follow Mr. Scoot. They're hilarious. So, so Wow, that looks bright Let's up what looks like the kind of table That you gotta flip In order to really pass judgment on it You gotta flip it MPC3K, I'm coming I'm coming for the custom intro sound Get ready Oh, nice Hey, the sounds are really easy for me to do. It's other stuff that's hard. Son of your mom's friend. Son of your mom's friend would be... Just your mom's son's friend. Thanks, Fliptronic is just not an MPT3K streamer. without that video being played. You're friendsin'. You're friendsin'. Yeah, I don't think videos quite do it justice. There's something special about those Steve Ritchie backhands. See, in case you, in case, can I say this, Ray? Because people may not know this. In case you don't know everyone in chat, Ray Day Pinball. The name is Dalton. Hello, Dalton. Ray Day Pinball works for Stern so they would know a lot more about the game it doesn't show itself very well on a stream but I don't think that's the way to judge it it doesn't show itself well on a stream at all even with direct sound and Like You could bells and whistles the hell out of it But a lot of that stuff is not going to be You know It's not going to show well It's not like this Bells and whistles kind of table It looks like a rough table It looks like a table that's a grind To get some points on It looks like it will kick my ass Like Black Knight And boy oh boy Black Knight Don't ever let me look at that game Because that game is Evil Oh What was that game Why would you do that to me I need to re-chat Boom Okay just trap up Just trap the frack up Just trap the frack There you go Alright Like your cousin Marvin Barry Manu helped cover my Epic City Champ victory That's right We don't mince words around him though You gotta feel it Banjo Kazooie guy BK kicks everyone's ass Black Knight loves you Manu I'm still tweaking the points on it Black Knight In a Stockholm kind of way So good If I could put up 30 million on Black Knight I run out of there screaming I run home I make love to my wife Things are great So as you know I rarely make love Why would I share that much with you guys I don't even know you people That is a great shot right there That's that. Freaking rules. Can you guys look at this freaking score that I'm putting up on freaking DPS Radical? Tell me to pop! Oh my god, those pops. Wrap the crap up Zor I mean Zahn Not much just chilling and watching games Straight down the middle Underrated pin radical With you there So underrated no one can afford it Wrap and trap the crack up Underrated but overpriced I have to get to bed Fox Cities thank you so much for joining us Last day at work tomorrow It's going to be crazy You have to get up early and shovel snow Night everyone Fox Cities, thank you for showing up I'll see you in 2021 Straight Down the Middle Paradox And Becca's having too much fun By the way guys, don't forget In about 20 minutes we're going to go raid Don't Panic Flip So if you want to get those sweet, sweet Redemption bonuses, stick with me And I'll make sure you get them I still think I still think I should have Taken that radical when I had the chance But like I said a Ghostbusters showed up Instead so I took it DPF isn't streaming tonight Oh There's a drunk Thursday He took off the night because I thought he was sleepy Wow, VPX is pretty damn good these days VPX is very good, Ray The only thing I always mention this So I've got Willy Wonka Jersey Jack's Willy Wonka down in the garage Like the actual Willy Wonka Not a VPX of the Willy Wonka And when I go up and down the stairs And I play Wonka My cab has some flipper lag Which other people's cabs Probably doesn't have Because they have very high quality screens So when you hit the flipper It comes up maybe like Five I can't count the milliseconds Even if it's 500 milliseconds You know that's enough to blow a shot So you kind of have to compensate a little bit on mine Unless I'm wearing my VR headset headset so if i'm rocking vr which i can on this cabinet when i put this on i see the i see the table in front of me in vr and i can look around when i do that there is no flipper lag because these it can't be lag in a vr headset because it will make you sick so the screen has lag but this has almost almost no lag so my scores go i'm not going to say my scores go up everything was true until the point i said my scores go up no they don't really go up they just get different um as you can tell i got out of visual back when it was vp8 yeah that was a while ago That was a while ago, Ray VP10 is huge One of the developers of VP Next is in here VP Next VP Next Alright, Mega Millions again My scores go up Unlike my P something I don't know what you're going for little bubblegum there. P something. Those stars really obscure whatever you're trying to say. And I don't think we need an explanation of what you're trying to say. But, die. I never noticed he said skate or die. And I died. Ah. Is Zahn here? Is Zahn still here? Zahn, if you're here, give me your initials. You're going in here. Zahn, give me your initials. You're going in here. Or I can just do Z-O-N, actually. Thank you, Little Bubblegum. But I'm going to assume that Zahn can speak. What's your initials? What's your initials? What's your initials? DWK! It's going in here. Boom, thank you for the biddies, my friend. Donkey Kong? Oh, did it make it? Wait, did it get the whole thing? Shoot, I hate these damn timeouts. I think it got ZW and then it stopped. LOS? It's not Laser LOS. It's not DPF. Dang it! That was a huge score right there. Radical! Alright, let's put up another one of those. Let's put up another one of those. Whoa, that's like totally rad! I don't know if I can do that again. Part of the reason why I stream some of these... Donkey Kong! Donkey Kong! unlike donkey kong part of the reason i do these streams is to learn these tables they're uh occasionally what's up dunder there occasionally is a radical at free go watch it comes in and out it's owned by sean so sometimes it's there sometimes not when it does show up it shows up in tournaments and stepping up to a radical and not knowing what to shoot is basically you're going to lose. Basically you're going to lose. So I do these force myself to stream a game It's got these friggin carrot Somebody loves me. Who loves me baby? Nah Nah That was spam I'm kidding So Plutronic What's our next What's our next movie I watched I watched I watched our our last movie riff session. I watched the entire thing back. It was so incredibly funny. It was so good. Guys, if you don't know what I'm talking about, on Fridays here at Mystery Pinball Theater we play a little pinball very little But we end up riffing to terrible movies So last Friday we riffed to Santa with Muscles Radical. And it was wonderful. Oh, God, we were talking about this yesterday. You're too a little obsessed with us. Take it down. I literally had an idea and forgot. Whoa, that's like totally gnarly. It was so friggin' terrific. Well, somebody gave me... I forget who it was. It was one of our viewers. And they mentioned... Time of the Apes. to do, I think it's called Time of the Apes, and sent me the YouTube link. There you go. Whoa, who's that? Whoa, okay. Dunder, thank you for the tier one sub. You are a legend. Two months. You could stand me for two months? That's a huge thing. That's friggin' huge. Because sometimes I can't even stand me for two months. Why are you rejecting me, game? Isn't it easier just to let me be your friend? How about Dungeons & Dragons? You can play And you can play the V-Pin If you can send me a YouTube link I'll get it Dungeons and Dragons with Jeremy Irons If you haven't done Never Too Young to Die with John Stables I highly recommend Oh my god Never Too Young to Die Cool as Ice Oh my god, Cool as Ice well looks like I'll be looking at this stream again so I can uh get these names down Jordan what do you think about a um seriously bro what do you think about a dedicated night I mean I would add a night to my stream schedule to do just to do just this makes me so mad to do just Rift Streaming. Just Rift Streaming. Oh, God, that's a hard pick. Hard, good pick. I have a plethora of ideas. Yes, dedicated 90%. All right, I know a couple hundred people interested in that. and just so people know it's not just riffing right it's it's competitive riffing where you actually get to type and it shows up on the screen and you get points so it's a thing i coded in like it took me like five days to code it and i thought it would be fun to add to the stream and then it turns out it's like one of the biggest because you're certainly not coming here to watch MPT3K blow up these games. Even though I will continue to stream from Free Gold Watch, Location Pinball, and VPX. Because my heart is in it. Alright, here we go. But, a dedicated night for riffing would be great. I think I'll do Wednesdays, because the only thing I do on Wednesdays is this Jackbox games thing which i could actually i could stop doing that we can kill that that's kind of lame jackbox games i mean who cares one of the most interactive streams i've ever seen so worth it i've never subbed to a streamer before keep it up all of master pancake what all of master pancake watcher would dig it watchers i did one so much fun yes that's right don't do that i'm here to watch mpt3 keep all of these games oh you quoted it no wonder i can't figure out how you did it Oh yeah yeah yeah It's using Leonboard Like Mr. Scoot I don't know what you're using By the way Mr. Scoot is a serious streamer Like Mr. Scoot Has digits of viewers So let's just put it that way And I love trying to be funny On Mr. Scoot's stream I really really try hard to be funny On Mr. Scoot's stream Shut up I will skate or die. I'm so glad you finally said something. The games have been such a drag. Yeah, don't you think so, LittleBubbleGum? I think I could kill it. What'd you code it in? Arthur, it's coded in a weird third-party program called Leonboard. It's free. And it's kind of a game changer for people who use OBS. Not Streamlabs OBS, but just regular OBS. Doot! Take or die. to go and follow Astro Nasty VP because anyone who supports the VP community is a player in my book. So thank you, Astro Nasty. Please go follow Astro Nasty VP because they have a cool setup also. And I saw you were doing Firepower also. Little Bumagum must only be when I'm not there. Of course I'm kidding about Wednesdays. I would never lose my Wednesday night Jackbox stream. By the way guys Jackbox does not happen on Twitch Jackbox streaming for me I don't do it on Twitch I do it on Caffeine.tv Because it has one second of lag I don't like the eight seconds of lag That I get from Twitch It doesn't help in games like Jackbox It actually hurts the players So we choose You know I don't do it for viewers or anything. I just do it because it's fun. It's crazy fun. If you want to get in on it, just send me a whisper and I'll be happy to invite you in. If you want to get in on it, just whisper me. Say, hey, I want to play. It's Pacific time, so it's a little late for some people, but if you want to jump in, I mean, we've had Mudderfutter, we have Alnonymous, we've had Cliptronic, Jordan and Becca jump in sometimes, Clipstream jumps in, Don't Panic Flip of course Pinsomniac of course And they all can be And they're all offended by Little Bubblegum Every time So it's great, it's like a family So now 4 million is a garbage score now Alright let me go back Over my head then I was just streaming this table What's up, Ketchup John Mustard?
