you Thank you. I bet you can hear now, can't you? Boy. Yeah, that would have been bad to run this thing for an hour or two and have no audio.
4:53
Everything's sounding alright now? Cool, cool, thanks. Sorry about that. I had the microphones muted. Go figure. You know, I test things and I, you know, I'm recording it during a local recording, playing it back. When I play it back, I have to mute the microphone. Obviously, I forgot to unmute it. That's an interesting air ball. Alright, what am I doing here? Where are we? We're back in the Shire on the map. So I'm going to try and focus a little more on modes and see how many I can get through, how many of the feeder modes I can pull in, and so forth. One of the ones I've noticed in the feeder mode in quite a few is the Dol'gador mode, which is a Radegast mode. So I just lit Radegast. It's the one that's right below the currently lit mode. This one. I think I'll try to play him out a bit here. I'll be pulling this multiple ball. I can jump through it. Delay. I'll start my mode. See if he finishes. Let's see if he can finish this.
6:24
Trying to shoot the drop targets for the mode. He's for the multiball, of course. Got one drop target left, that's an A. I'm probably running out of time too.
6:39
I want to shoot the left ramp for more time. Okay, now I'm... Oh. I'm trying to pay attention to the mode stuff and I drained my ball.

    Let's go. Give me the ball. Shoot the left ramp quickly. This will resurrect it. Alright. Bye. I'm not guaranteeing all 31 modes, but I'll... This is without me playing, but I will do what I can here. Alright, didn't finish that. 12,500 and there was a feeder mode for that mode, so if I had played the first Radagast mode, I would have gotten a bonus based on my percentage completed. Alright, more modes. More modes. Let's go through them. shoot rams avoid drop targets bulk as of the defiant shoot the rams not the captain ball the rams shoot the rams getting fancy Alright.
    8:14
    That's the best drain of all. How's the audio sounding? The mix coming through a little better? Yesterday I had the in-game audio a little too high it seemed.
    8:25
    And it was blowing out. You know, peaking too far. Yeah, tilted right. I've also got this running on Twitch and YouTube Live. I don't have a YouTube Live chat window open on my tablet here. I've got it on my computer, so I'll keep going back for those of you watching on YouTube. Testing it out today, seeing how it works.
    8:52
    Yeah, I hate that drain. Happens occasionally. I've tried a couple things. I think what I need to do is add a little piece of rubber on the front of the ring there to stop the ball from spinning. Alright. So I've also got this game set to only one extra ball, which will prevent me from doing everything I want to do, of course. But I don't want this game to be too easy. Oh, missed. Yep, I saw that spin coming and couldn't stop it.
    9:54
    Alright, Jailbreak. I think this is a fun one if I remember. Oh, God. missing the center post is a lot more than what I expected on this game I took it out on Wizard of Oz also I didn't find it had as much of an effect on that game as it does on this game but I also don't think it's needed around here this is the mode you want to save I'm not in there. I'm trapped.
    10:48
    I don't believe there is a finish all the modes wizard mode yet. There's some super wizard mode that's supposed to be in the game eventually.
    11:05
    I don't believe it's in here yet. I've got lots of time on this mode right now, so what I'm trying to do is build up the value. It's a frenzy. every switch hit adds value. So right now my shot value is at 9700. So if I drain right here it's going to do me no good. But I had reached the Lonely Mountain, Erebor, and so
    11:58
    my mode bonus would have been 50%. That's what's added to the bonus at the end of the Don't want to tilt so much on this.
    12:06
    Hello. What the? What do you do now? I'm looking for someone to share in my adventure. How are we looking?
    12:24
    Hesitation shall get you nowhere. Alright. And this is the last day I'm streaming this. I think I'm gonna move the camera setup over to different games after today. Try to stream a bit more often. Oh, that's rude.
    13:33
    When I get the warg and the spider, I've liked bouncing it over and backhanding it. It feels like a safer shot.
    13:44
    Let's try this mode. What's this? What do I think it is? I'm supposed to hit the yellow targets. Let's get more time.
    14:09
    Turn off the yellow targets. This mod I will not finish. I can nearly guarantee it. With all the yellow targets.
    14:27
    Needed to nudge there. What other games? I'm thinking of putting it out to a vote. I've got five other games in here. Iron Man, Wizard of Oz, an arena, Gottlieb Arena, Flash Gordon, and Lord of the Rings.
    14:45
    What would you like to see? I've done the Wizard of Oz before, but I haven't done the most recent code.
    15:01
    I like Jermaine's suggestion. Yeah, send me a dial then. I will stream it every day. Alright, hard mode. Very difficult mode here. I don't think I have finished it once. Because they come up so fast. I just shoot the opposite loop. Luke.
    15:39
    Both the right and left out lanes are not my friends. All right, all right, all right. Let's quit just messing around and let's actually get somewhere.
    15:56
    Thank you Oh So here's something I have a question for everyone watching. When you're watching a stream, do you like... I mean, this game's setup is fairly difficult. Would you actually prefer to see it setup easier? So you can see more of the game? What do you like watching people like me get punished? And destroyed? I did not want that lock because I'd rather get a mode lock. I did not want that lock, come on. That's alright. I'm gonna get the L and lock so I can start it. One build before more smog, I don't want to delay that. I'm gonna shoot the orbit for more locks. I can during this vaulting ball, it's not so simple. Jackpot! This comes up exactly when you don't want to miss. Jackpot! There we go. That'll do it long. And I'll start at my, uh... Spinner Frenzy? What am I trying to do now? I wouldn't mind getting the extra ball lit also right now. Where am I? I need health. I think. I had it the other day where I had all the qualifiers for the first extra ball, what I consider the first extra ball, and it didn't give it to me. I'm not looking at my PC too much.
    18:39
    It's behind me, and I've got the Twitch app on my tablet. The chat on the Twitch. Sorry about that. I'm experimenting with YouTube. I'm trying to figure out how the best I could do it. My PC is actually behind me while I'm streaming.
    19:02
    Okay, let's get another boat lock. I should probably check in any second. I have four seconds left on the super spinner. I really need to hit that captive ball immediately if I want the
    19:13
    15,700. I'm not afraid. Got you. Alright, let's um, might as well play the main multiball. And then move on from there. I need the dwarves, so I need two more dwarves to light up the dwarf frenzy, which are Gloin and Dory. I should get those during this multi-ball. And I have a couple mode locks, so I'll be able to pull in some extra balls during this multi-ball. As long as I don't shoot the ramp early on accidentally.
    20:34
    The other thing I want to make sure I avoid is starting up another Beast Frenzy. I absolutely do not want that, because I better save that for the next, after I play into the fire.
    20:51
    And that will actually give me credit. Okay, at this point, I want the mode charged so I can get some add-ons. So I can get some extra balls in here.
    20:59
    And I wasn't paying attention to the mode. I really did not want this mode right now. Jackpot! My claws are scared!
    21:31
    Go ahead, hit that shot! Jackpot! He says we'll blunt the knife. My teeth are sore. Okay, I do not want to hit that warg when it's split for the, uh, shoot the right hole. I'm, I have not gotten to this part in this mode. Full self-advance, Jackpots. I know, the multiple is going around and all I care about is the mode. Alright. So my treasure hunt is 9000, not that much, so let's focus on Smough now. I'm going to get through that. Now I do have a potential extra ball lit if I shoot the targets that are going purple. If I collect all the dwarves, it will light the extra ball for me. I absolutely do not want that warg. I would have rather drained the ball right there than get that ward.
    22:37
    Because after I play into the fire, I will have to get that ward to get my Beast Frenzy qualifier. Alright, so I can start into the fire.
    22:53
    Almost. Backhand. Rattled. And that nudge saved the ball from the outlay most likely. Alright. Got it in the harder hole there. So something on this mode, there's no debounce on those initial switches, so with a good strong hit you can get a couple in. I mean you saw him pretty much finish that first phase immediately. I'm not that dependent.
    24:02
    Super Jackbox is ready. Here we go. Heh, maybe not. This one. Alright. Getting one more of that. One that drain does not... Oh, it does come back.
    24:32
    Alright, this will be patience mode. Patience. Wait. believe it's coming are the statuses on the mini screen you can see it's just fire right now really needs to show the status on the book screen because it's so difficult to look up there during the mode
    25:35
    now I kicked that ball up here to prevent the bad collision here I knew this other ball would cradle win.
    25:47
    Come on. Almost. Try to get that captain ball in between the two. And let's do it now for the drains. Oh, no.
    25:58
    Resurrected? Oh, just in time. Just in time. Oh. I didn't think I had a handle on that one. Alright. So this is a shoot the ramp, brings them all up and then hit them all. The rest you can. 15 I believe. And that's gonna be it. Well, not too bad.
    26:36
    Alright. Let's um... Press the ring button. Oh no, shoot right there. Right there, right there. There we go, finish the mode! Excellent. Got a 50% bonus on the map being where I was. Uh, Treadtown 21,800. The left orbit right now is worth, uh, because that's the only shot left for Treadtown. That is 21,800 if I can make that one shot.
    28:02
    All right. 21,800 and then the 3 sets of shots and I also started another super spinner. Started my feast frenzy for this round. If I get that Warb right now, it would be pretty good.
    28:32
    The Warb would give me my Beasts. Let's see if we can get it here. Oh, that was horrible. Trying to prep for an alley pass and just completely messed that up. Sorry about that.
    28:57
    Alright. Continuing on here. Hello. Okay, um, let's try the ward. I guess we're playing now. I like saving this mode because it's one of the easier modes to complete. Shoot the ramp, load the arrow, shoot the arrow, hit one of the targets while they're lit. I'm going to have to reshoot the ramp so I can move. Shoot the ramp again, load the arrow, shoot the arrow, shoot the target, hit one of the I can still get it right here. There we go. Mode done. Ah, that's gone. So what was looking like a good game is quickly turning to... It was a good ball one, right? Oh, man.
    30:39
    That was too bad. All right. Go again here. Well, well, well. I've only got one game with Battle 5 armies recorded. Well, actually, I only played. I have not done it outside of that either. I was going to say, I would like that war.
    31:04
    This kickback. I mean, it's so crucial when the game is set up like this. Take it. Jackpot! Let's quickly into, uh, take a look.
    31:25
    Jackpot! All right really need to start shooting that left ram Pull the load I'm going to lose this load, I know it. I can't look up right now. I'm sure it's nearly done. Nine seconds. Okay.
    32:15
    Ah, got one there. Jackpot! One second. Gone. Jackpot! $50,000 for not really shooting that ramp very often. Not too bad.
    32:53
    What am I doing here? Oh, I had resurrected it somewhere? I didn't even notice. I would have shot that rat more. There you go!
    33:15
    Jackpot! Got the X-Qual lit via the treasure hunt, I believe, or maybe, uh, I think so. Maybe not. Complete flashing dwarf targets for two X-Jackpots. Oh, so it was during the, um... During the feast frenzy. That's just the, uh, X-Ball. Or lit. I should say.
    33:52
    Alright, another, uh, spinner. Jackpot! I believe I have four of the five requirements to proceed to play this Smaug. I fall, waste my warning.
    34:40
    It's the only spot I can get to the keyboard. Change the camera. I want that motion the contract not really I didn't really want to because again this is one of the simpler modes but since I'm already completed the mode I'm not going to focus on it I want the ball and hole right now on the left side that would be my extra ball and it's a I can do a Jack-Light Shot as well.
    35:32
    Alright, so there's my one extra ball for the game. I've advanced the mode. I suppose you have to hit these little targets behind the other targets. What am I missing here? Oh, a mode. I haven't finished the mode. But I hit my wires wrong, so I do need to finish this.
    35:52
    There's two. There's one more. Third one. There it is. Mode finished. And unfortunately, I just started my second feast frenzy. That was a big mistake. Big mistake.
    36:10
    Because now I have to redo that for the next part. Out of the frying pan. And into the fire. Run! Use the gear. Run!
    36:33
    Keep hitting the F. I don't want the F. I want the other targets. I can't shoot to my trap. I don't really care about extra time on this mode. Because it's not timed. Well it kind of is. I'll take a spider while it's there. And the mode's done. Qualifier completed. So I had one feeder mode there, which was the contract. So that gave me 100% bonus because I finished that mode.
    38:21
    I think I'm almost out of Bilbo modes too. I want to get that before I get my first block here, if at all possible. Beast, come on up off the tile. There we go, that one might make it. Nope, didn't make it. One of those two should. Oh, nope. And I just picked my lock. That's okay. I think I made it.
    38:54
    One of those two should. Oh, no. And I just picked my lock. That's a game. Jackpot! Get the buzzsaw. And another Spinner Frenzy.
    39:24
    This is the third one in the game, I think. Oh, wow. That was mean. Third Spinner Frenzy will put all my modes at 150% of its modes.
    39:47
    Address the ring button. Oh, I got it. I got that. He didn't award it. Shoot! Oh, wrong flipper. Wrong one. Alright, decent first ball again. The direct feed, I've had to do some modifications here. The monitor is DVI and the book displays VGA. I've had to add an HDMI duplicator. basically a 1x2 HDMI switch down there that's not switched on.
    40:48
    And I have DVI to HDMI cables running from the computer to that, then HDMI to DVI cable running to the back box. Then I have a same thing for the VGA with an amplifier on it so that it gets a good signal on both ends.
    41:04
    Not so simple. Alright, what do we have? I need two, I need three dwarves and I need Smaug multiple. So let's play Smaug. Dwarves will come in during that most likely and we'll get to Barrel Escape. All assuming I can, uh, not drain as quickly as that other game that was good to start. I really want the K. That's my, um, I think that was the last letter I needed. And I was right, but I missed it. Well I didn't miss it. See there we go, it almost, almost drained. Now I'll actually, don't you dare. I'll take the mode lock first. As always, you always want to take the mobile.
    42:14
    And I'm on the third level of beasts so it's harder to light them now. What level are you on? 31? Alright, I'll void the ram for a little bit because I want to uh, create a turn when I need to now the ball. One thing you have to be ready for in this game is the beast's diaper at the ball, the lock button's diaper at the ball. You always have to stay on your toes. The ball will not always come straight down. In fact, it rarely ever does.
    43:18
    I'm glad that it didn't go all the way up the ramp there. Okay, I'm now in a multiplier. I must have hit the center shot enough times to start my super-action. Double play from starting in this moment. So I will start in a moment now, just so I can get more balls in play, get more action. I will not see you taking a catch. And I'm not even going to face it from the nose. The other thing is I want to make sure I do not accidentally start beating him. As always, he's frenzy. I just heard the spinner frenzy start. The other thing with spinner frenzy is it scores doubles. Your collect is doubled when you have multiple balls. I've noticed I have two balls in play. Might be more with more than two. I don't know. I haven't been able to check. I want to get a moment if I can travel here. I want to see where my treasure hunt is at. Oh! 57,200. That's a fantastic value. So really this is my priority now.
    44:42
    Alright, that might have been a false ender. Good ball out there. Second hand him with a false ender. So that was 57,000, plus whatever the jackpot was.
    44:56
    Seemed like it was a decent value. I know it's bad. Alright, I am at the end of smog I believe. Shoot the ramp. No I'm not, it's okay.
    45:37
    Now I can just keep doing this I believe. Do not want that spider. I'd rather drain the... Ow! Oh my gosh! As I say I'd rather drain, I hit the spider. It ruins everything!
    46:27
    Everything is ruined. No! Shoot small! Good mode bonus there. Alright, ball tube. Barrel escape lit. Let's go.
    47:09
    I don't like the bumpers. Exit out of those bumpers. They're so dangerous. Okay. Good. Alright. Bear on the escape.
    47:42
    Well done, Master Pagans. I need to shoot the bumpers down sir I shoot the orbits and I seem to not get any bumper hits I shoot up in the bumper and I really get no hits Help targets. I really want to backstab these guys if I can. There were double backstabs. I didn't really want to play to beat this mode ever. Alright. Thanks, man. At least I'm just getting a big thumbs up. Funny. Alright, almost to Erebor. Do I have a mode lock? I don't think I do, so I don't want to start a mode.
    49:17
    That extra ball that's kind of flashing there, it's just points. I don't really care about them. I do care about the beasts because they're hard to get now.
    49:36
    Road lock lit. Road lock missed. Drain. Road lock drain. Shotgun. Road lock draker.
    50:06
    Alright, now I'll play a mode. Let's see, I've already got the goblin, don't need him. Oh, spider, excellent! Take it slow since I don't want to miss that one. Alright, let's start the mode. Pull another step during the mode.
    50:36
    I do see that I need to finish him out of course, but just hoping to light some more I'm locked during this.
    51:01
    Should've dropped the arm. I want the left ram. Can't upset the left ram. Take it. That's the goblin. Goblin. Goblin hits. Bash the goblin. Bash the goblin. Bash the goblin. multiple. Alright, finished that mode. I had one of the feeders, 200, so that mode was 16,000 points, but because I had four complete spinner frenzy completions, I got 200% bonus, and I get another 100% bonus from having a feeder mode completed. Jackpot! I see treasure hunts at 60,000. I'm just going to buy more.

    Touch plate. Let's do it all at once. Everything at once. Stack it all. Even though I shouldn't because I want to finish it now. All right. All right, this is the final smog hit, if I can get it. Oh, no way, I hit that drop target. Alright, so this is the final stage of Smaug. I need to shoot the right ramp. It'll knock down one single drop target. The chink in the armor. Very cool. And then I have to hit that one target. The one yellow target behind the drop target. Which during this is going to be extremely difficult because those things are not going to drop down for me to make the shots.
    53:13
    Alright, so now to get back into that, I have to shoot the drop targets on the right-hand side, the man targets.
    53:20
    I'm going to try again. Alright, so now it's lit again. Come on, get down it. That was very lucky there.
    54:07
    Very lucky. Smough is dead. Alright, now it's victory laps during Smough and continuing all the other stuff I had already running.
    54:28
    I believe the victory laps are 10,000 apiece, I think. Back to five balls, obviously. Continues the insanity.
    54:50
    Once you do a victory lap shot, it's unlit until you hit another shot. Maybe I can actually read some stuff here. Let me shoot this one while it's open. That was not what I expected.
    55:40
    And a good game finally. Only one all weekend. I'm streaming all the time and I keep messing up. I'm screaming all the time and I keep messing up.
    56:12
    4k? Yeah, I can't see the victory. I do wish the victory flash were shown on the screen. Alright, Battle of the Five Armies is lit. There we go. And this seems just to be an orc and goblin bash fest. Shoot it over and over.
    56:33
    Ten beasts. Let's start. The battle for the mountain is about to begin. Eight, seven, six. Five, four, three.
    57:20
    And these drop targets... the drop targets on the right will double, if I can believe them, they'll double the value of the jackpots. Oh, that was bad. Alright, now we're back to... Press the ring button. Now we're back to regular play.
    57:57
    And apparently I hit a... Did I finish it? I did. I didn't realize I finished that mode with that one shot.
    58:06
    Alright, let's play through modes I guess. Because now if I qualify everything, I'm back into the fire and I keep going... That's the loop right now. As far as the game goes.
    58:17
    Unless there's something in here that I don't know about. Which is possible. The boner should be big here, I think. Not too bad. Alright.
    58:54
    Let's get out of this foul place. Brendan, man, I'm calling for you. Into the battle. Oh, now I'm just going over the bumpers. I want that war down, I want it down. Oh well. I can get it in, it's not that big a deal. One more time. Shoot the right ram. Shoot. One more time.
    59:54
    Didn't make it. Finish the mode. And I think I just got a sneak in. It might have given up. Maybe not. Maybe I'm wrong.
    60:13
    I'm in a spinner frenzy. Super spinner. I keep calling it spinner frenzy. It's a super spinner. What am I doing?
    60:27
    Spider. Or not. Wow. Power outling. Alright. Not a bad game. Actual GC was before I set this thing up on Evil, and it was 3.6. Or 3.4, somewhere in there.
    60:46
    I was getting... Honestly, it was on a game that I was pretty bored. I gave up at the end. Put yours... Wait, you don't want them? Okay.
    61:00
    What should I put in, then? Me? Mom. She'll get in play though. Exceptional. Oh, he's a cracker. Alright, I will end that here. I had a good game finally.
    61:28
    I hope I'm happy with that. I wish I got further in the battle with five armies. What will you do now? But yeah, last day for this. What would you like to see next? Let's see, I've got Iron Man, like I said earlier, Iron Man, Wizard of Oz, Arena, Flash Gordon, Lord of the Rings. I'm going to try and stream more often than I have been, so.
    61:49
    Let me know, put it in the chat. What's your, what's up? Yeah, close. And that'll be it for the day. Thanks for watching.
    62:03
