TL;DR

D&D Pinball thermal testing stream reveals magnet shutdown at ~150°C and ramp malfunction issues.

Summary

IE Pinball streams extended gameplay of D&D Pinball v0.86 while conducting temperature monitoring on the gelatinous cube magnet, left ramp, and shield mechanisms. The primary technical focus is identifying thermal shutdown behavior in the cube magnet (which ceases functioning around 150°C) and documenting related playfield issues including left ramp malfunction when overheated. Secondary focus is score hunting with the Bard character at 2x scoring multiplier.

Key Claims

  • The gelatinous cube magnet has a thermal fuse/shutoff that disables it when temperature reaches approximately 150°C, then reactivates around 120°C during cooldown

    high confidence · Direct observation and measurement during gameplay; speaker notes magnet stops working and tracks temperature probes showing shutdown and reactivation cycles

  • The left ramp doesn't have thermal protection and malfunctions when overheated—it fails to raise fully or stays partially down, creating shot routing issues

    high confidence · Repeated observation during extended play; speaker documents ramp staying partially down and coil pulsing behavior inconsistently when temperatures exceed safe operating range

  • D&D Pinball is not suitable for tournament play due to thermal safety concerns

    high confidence · Direct speaker statement: 'I don't think this game should be used in tournaments that's uh too dangerous'

  • The left ramp raises when orbits are shot during normal play but malfunctions predictably under thermal stress

    high confidence · Gameplay observations showing ramp behavior changes as coil temperature increases from ~120°C to 190°C

  • Dungeon Crawl level one routing varies week-to-week; left path is the long route for current code version

    medium confidence · Speaker notes path differences during Dungeon Crawl navigation and suggests left is longer in 'this week' version

  • Treasure chest rewards are one-time only and cannot stack; must collect immediately when lit

    high confidence · Speaker repeatedly emphasizes collecting treasure chests immediately because 'you don't get the uh you only get them once you can't stack them'

  • Shield mechanic has a light indicator bug where the light doesn't illuminate despite shield being active

    medium confidence · Speaker encounters shield light not lighting during gameplay: 'the shield light didn't light anymore yeah I had shields but it was just dark' and documents it again later

  • Bard character at 2x scoring makes jackpots worth approximately 50 million points

Notable Quotes

    IE Pinball @ ~15:20 — Explicit statement that D&D Pinball has safety concerns preventing tournament viability due to thermal issues

  • “the magnet shuts off at some point and I seem to have it on a single game it happens so and I'm also going to one shot things we're going to see how far how far uh how far we can go on a single thing basically try for score this time”

    IE Pinball @ ~3:00 — Establishes stream purpose: thermal testing combined with score optimization attempt

  • “magnet's dead I think maybe not I don't know... mag's gone it died what are we at 152.5 yeah it's right around where I thought”

    IE Pinball @ ~1:07:00 — Confirms thermal shutdown observed at ~150°C during gameplay

  • “the left ramp has malfunctioned I believe... the ramp is actually staying down now it's not going back up like it should”

  • “I cook an egg on the ramp you want to cook it come on over”

    IE Pinball @ ~1:06:00 — Humorous observation of ramp overheating during extended thermal stress testing

  • “I've noticed the temp keeps climbing even when it's not being used a little”

    IE Pinball @ ~50:00 — Thermal residual observation; coil continues heating even during non-active gameplay

  • “the jackpot I thought that was interesting too that the callouts are they have the in front of them I I for some reason I didn't notice that until yesterday... I've never heard of another game referred to jackpots as 'the jack pot' that's why I bring it up”

    IE Pinball @ ~56:00 — Rules observation about unique D&D callout phrasing with article prefix

  • “you don't get the uh you only get them once you can't stack them being attacked by a gelatinous cube”

  • ?

    community_signal: Streamer demonstrates methodical technical troubleshooting approach; instruments machine with temperature probes to identify failure modes systematically rather than speculating

    high · Setup of temperature monitoring on cube, ramp, and shield; correlation of temperature readings with observed mechanical behavior; documented tracking of shutdown/reactivation cycles

  • ?

    product_strategy: Shield light indicator mechanic has implementation bug where light fails to illuminate despite shield being functionally active, creating blind spots in rule visibility

    medium · Speaker documents shield light not lighting during play: 'the shield light didn't light anymore yeah I had shields but it was just dark' and encounters it again later

  • ?

    product_concern: D&D Pinball exhibits thermal management failures in key mechanisms (gelatinous cube magnet, left ramp coil) that trigger automatic shutdowns during extended gameplay, compromising playability and tournament viability

all right another stream so soon hey game time congrats on the job oh an emote oh no oh no I'm terrified now someone else did one during indisk and I forgot about it they didn't contact me anyways message me game time let me know what you want or if you have something in [Laughter] mind I still and and if you want animated I have animated slots I believe I have both slots another stream yeah so uh and rco hey um I'm doing another stream so soon because I've set up temperature probes on um on the cube on the left ramp and on the shield The Shield was by request from pimpmunk uh but the the cube and the ramp I've been having you know you saw the if you watch the stream from the other day you saw the uh magnet on the cube stopped working so I wanted to see how hot things were getting oh self yeah yeah good luck there I've learned my lesson with selfies mhmh no more selfies you're going to have to screen cap something in this stream if you want anything at all um well yeah so the right Ram turns off so I've got the probes right here mag oh wait those are backwards magnets blue I got to fix that give me a sec here come on Mouse where are you there you are yeah the ramp is above the ramp's red magnet's blue I did that on purpose so I remember and what do I do I mess it up all right so basically the magnet shuts off at some point and I I seem to have it on a single game it happens so and I'm also going to one shot things we're going to see how far how far uh how far we can go on a single thing basically try for score this time and that's the Bard with double scoring which is the unlocked character um so I'm going to be shooting a lot well I didn't play a single game of pinball before this cuz I didn't want to keep up those coils at all on the D andd twitch Channel okay um should be I love a thrilling battle so I'm actually going to actively try to heat I didn't need to nudge it that much try to actively heat up that uh that ramp a little bit just a little bit you and your party are once again at Lux end nidar A well-dressed elderly human with an injured arm comes to the door welcome quintus stra table she tells you she needs your help my eyes bad hey look up here I got chat there ASO is here you go a large dog snatches the potion and runs out the door all right this is the mode I think most people are going to associate with this game honestly what are the odds it's one of the first modes one of the easy modes no one goes up against a I need to use the shield more and this is interesting I didn't realize this the uh the mode is actually on the uh it was on the left ramp there but uh because the Cube being lit the light wasn't there and the timer is bed hey what are you doing uh pimpam me oh yes ramp temp uh will go up quick the magnet uh not as quick I've noticed and actually once you get to this once you get to that phase where you've got the um fin shot for the modes the ramp raises up so you lose your progress on gelatinous Cube specific goals are just to um just to play through the game see what kind of score I can get um but then also see when the magnet stops working soon after he enters and when the ramp within as you enter the cellar you see large crates and wooden shelves you are attacked by a giant rat I'm mixxed on it go look up not down I mean I don't mind that it's not a tournament game one bit actually you know doesn't bother me at all because I don't think I don't think this game should be used in tournaments that's uh too dangers nice hit let's use another range just just just just okay so I actually can't play cube right now because in dungeons you can't uh start that you can't start the multi balls so I can't try for that thanks [Music] abiotic so that'll be an extra ball let's see if I actually got the right shot it's a 50/50 chance left or Orit or right ramp I don't know until the nope that was wrong and I've had it be both so into the dungeon and then next I'm being attacked by you're in a large room withes built into the walls one seems to be moving in the distance that's trouble oh no I'm alive I'm alive let's get the treasure chest never know what's going to be in those this is a one shot game so I don't have any carry over progress all right time to Loop some that's gone yep and I had a warnings left I knew that I knew that by a giant evil cone I did been like I didn't I wanted to get moving um so I didn't adjust the shield it does it like I said it works on the left but not on the right all right so that's a that's a fail Let's uh relight the cube and I need to use a shield more cuz I don't use it enough like that would have been a good spot to use it probably there we go there's the cube light back up let's see what F fsmo has before we leave sold out what's sold out uh bump mimic value I actually found that only lasts for one mimic collect not multiple oh such a shame I really wanted that for you really I didn't want it all right let's go to Westgate uh the big points if if you're going for points it's really in uh Cube and uh Tavern brawl and ah that was bades climbing out of the sea and people the I'm going to skip a lot of the story stuff I I showed it all last stream so I'm just going to push through this time let's get that ramp back up or not dragon's ready I'm going to die being attacked ah let's just take dragon now I got to take it at some well no let's not never mind my cast Divine makes me feel more like a dungeon sheep should have worn my uh dungeon Dungeons and more dungeons Gravity Fall shirt that's what I should be wearing a good snack all right uh this is just freefor all well actually I'll finish the zombies Sailors hopefully during this most likely not exactly a difficult mode so watch it that's my fire breather you have succeeded yep there's the final shot for it if you want to focus on supers during this the uh the final shots are good uh spot to do that like there kind of the only play time you'll get the balls held in one spot and not have more balls kicking out at you now you are but the Su aren't really worth that much how me six more Dragon wait I'm not doing good in drath I'm going to lose this battle oh Shield let's just use the shield and let a ball [Music] through it's not over yet I the thing I I hit a bug somewhere in another game that um The Shield light didn't light anymore yeah I had Shields but it was just dark hey the but I don't know what caused it I wasn't paying that much attention to it so don't have that much feedback for for stern let's do another Shield now I look up Shi Li buggy it's been okay yeah all [Music] stink that sucks only 94 de oh so far so far it's going up and I haven't really been doing that well that was unintentional um no one goes up against the dragon and wins stop no okay I have a vast inventory bump Tavern bra sure all right another dungeon before you know what is happening lar ball three isn't it you manag to duck out of the way throwing up your hands to counter balance his blade slices off the tip of your pinky finger you are attacked by yant T ship you are attacked by yant T I don't care that I'm attacked you've cleared the way to the ship an AQ when I hit uh shoot I'll get you I love a thrilling battle when I when the mar I drop ball I never had suck balls no but I've heard of it I mean I've I've seen that happen but I never had it on mine a m okay K when I'm attack thank you sheep sheep what do you think game time's going to pick for his uh his emote lre tells you those monsters were from the under mountain and we're searching for something from the under Mountain okay what I kind of want to play Tavern ball what do I need I need to play I need to play cube right no I need to play both Dungeon Crawl and Cube let's bump that value again why not I help you my Lord oh I meant to bump that coil up also so that it hits the uh it's kind of not hitting the magnet all the time now I noticed oh time tinese dice game is lit and since tines dice game is lit I cannot um light Dungeon Crawl so I actually have to play this to get the Dungeon Dice Game begins never trust Anya with dice yeah clean wax a paath that makes sense too I'm on a roll [Music] wow I kind of just want to let this time out eight okay hit stuff your time is about to run out no it's not it went back [Music] up wo you are now my favorite 5 four three it's a three h yeah oops Ah that's fine that's fine it won't extend my time then because I didn't hit it completely magnet temperature it's a thing cuz at some point this magnet stops working because it gets too hot and then it cools down and it starts working again so trying to show where that happens and it's designed to actually shut off has a thermal fuse or thermal shut off whatever you want to call it all right to craw level one this week seemed to be long on the level on level one um double door can't remember yeah there's a lot of battles and thermal switch thank you that's the word I was looking for [Music] a shot in the game I'm missing watch it that's my fire breather there we go H this troll takes a lot yeah I just cannot do that on the fly anymore The Shield I haven't used that's why it's still low more you won I won that does give you a treasure chest so do collect that because you can't stack those so once it's lit always get it what are we getting golden [Music] potions yeah and I'm going to bump that that's a coil up slightly well that works you turn left and see I'll go left again and uh giant rat got rats nice hit where's the next one turn around nope no backand that shot is back [Music] handable all right let's just do it this way [Music] yeah ah okay oh that barely grabbed it like sucked it in there we go where's the next one in the middle you won I've won another Treasure Chest what's this one about the spinner Tim you down a and see all right let's go left again sure all right there's the Cube sure let's bump that braw value again I can change to Green is sure you are being attacked by an owl Bear all right I may have to hit this three more times I get the 12.5% or am I just going to miss it completely and almost killed myself oh we got the first time look at that all right right over to lock another ball all right now the magnet's going to start the [Music] burn the jackpot the so the jackpot I thought that was interesting too that the call outs are they have the in front of them I I for some reason I didn't notice that until yesterday when I was playing it now you are definitely going to die I've never heard of another game referred to jackpots as the jack po that's why I bring it up all right well I guess I can no let's wait on the shield I was going to use it now but I don't know how many I have jackpot jackpot oh I got the super for free look at that so there's a roll under switch for that and if if the uh if it rolls back you're getting double credit if it doesn't make it's like a like a small ramp up there oh that went straight through the magnet is my magnet dead already no it shouldn't be I'm only 120 jackpot the jackpot the jackpot the you lucky oh there it goes Super Jackpot it's it's you know it I've noticed the temp keeps climbing if uh ah I try well that was funny there Shield um that's not like instant um it still climbs even when it's not being used a little let's try for that double scoring jackpots are too valuable now right that'll be 50 million point jackpots it's huge on this game if I can hit anything time won't matter critical hit ah bummer put the shield out uh I want the H I can take that I have a hard time hitting that on the Fly though Fireball thank you for the for the sub now now um the double double scoring you can just hit the uh Target to reactivate it you don't have to go through the lane so to extend the timer no one goes up against a dragon and wins all right let's see what's in this down I have a vast inventory 10 gems uh eh H I actually want the uh I want Tavern brawl so I'm going to let this come down and die all right that's the end of that game pretty good yeah exactly it'll keep raising for a few minutes all right let's go again I'm going to do the same character and do a one shot again choose the character your Journey Begins on the road to arabel somewhere so last time I checked the uh magnet was starting to give it up around 150 we 129 Nar told you to buy ation of dragon's blood as fmo is handing you the potion here you go a large dog snatches the potion and runs out the door hey on the fly all right do you think it likes left orbit or left ramp in this case since that's down we almost have him wait stop it slings that makes for an easy end I guess though where's that dog the dog drops the all right moving on oh I forgot to increase the power on that kick outs from Deep your extra ball is lit I'm letting this play out because it lights more rats if if you cancel this out you've only got one shot right away I cast guiding bolt and the left ramp is up right now so it's not pulsing at the moment and I can't do it during this uh the dungeon that was close I'm just trying to get out out of danger here all right a hit nope yeah on the Fly shot it's just ever since I went to the Red Rubber I just can't seem to find it sure use more Shield use more Shield Shield where are you there you are although not on the uh right 20 oh it gave me that shot darn give me the wrong one probably on purpose yeah I should have adjusted that and the spinner yeah comically Juiced it's just just two drops of that uh of the uh of the super Loop stuff doesn't take much there we go you go down into a cold Crypt you're in a large room with ales built into but get the treasure chest because again you don't get the uh you only get them once you can't stack them being by a gelatinous cube now I'm going to hit finish off the cube Noe one more hit in the cube okay get the chest get the chest no missed completely I shouldn't do that shot in the fly there we go what's the chest how often do I reply never I I I so this is just one time and that's it yellow shot to finish oh no yeah yeah yeah wow I thought for a second I missed it missed it he tells you his name is Diego storm beard captain of the King guard all right um out here let's uh get back to light in the cube to go to Cobalt town and then we can go to Cobalt town or wherever or I can just go to town now or we can die which one Cube oh not enough no that's bad not far enough yeah it it rattles a lot on this on the back end for me at least there we go that one's going through enough oh I have dungeon call it look at that and I probably should have just used the shield there instead all right let's take the Dungeon Crawl so I can get close you know have one of the requirements for Tavern brawl so what I went left last time right so let's go up let's go right this time this you went down a hall and see you go to the right and immediate decision okay now man I got to get that shot down on the fly to the you went down a hall in scoop is important um let's go straight oh that was a fast path okay so don't go left on level one left is the long way for this week at least all right um let's go to sure let's go to Cobalt Town um no let's go Westgate relight my Cube you are being attacked by an owl bear oh no an owl bear however will I survive no have another dungeon craw lit um I want to advance My Town though and that's another dungeon call if I want near theer a lady but I don't really I don't need it so proba pass on it um go here to the upper ramp adventur bump Tavern brawl you will not find a better price in all mode zombie Sailors you see zombies climbing out of the sea and attack and let's range weapon it while I'm you being I'll actually go for the easy one over here how are we looking ah what we at 129 on the magnet okay getting close to the uh shut off temp or at least what I believe it shot all right I need this on the Fly shot ah not finding it today Shield use the shield pretty good make pimpmunk happy use the shield more being attack cuz that thing's nice and cool you were lucky this time all right please lre tells you she would love to work with you again then you see some large Shadows need dragon come back uh dragon is lit um actually want to buy from fsmo so I can bump The Tavern braw Val a little moreo always says the price you p is the gear you get dragon actually won't cause any of the temperature increases either cuz uh there's no magnet action oh there's some magnet action I guess if I hit the uh the loop up there but it's not like a not like cube and a yeah it lock in right there so I guess there's some oh Shield this is Shield Mark I love a thrilling yeah for me I just don't think the shield is going to get that hot cuz it's just not in use that much even if I were pressing it all the time I I think it wouldn't be enough going to die cuz I can see how long it takes the um the cube to heat up that's a single coil impressive time extended you were lucky town cration multiball all right yeah yeah yeah yeah exactly exactly yeah all right uh this isn't worth anything we'll just dump out of this and the chill chimp's going up rather fast ah all bump T bra all right got to play Cube now let's light Cube uh actually I got to finish the dungeon now as you approach the before you know what is happening one large reptilian swings a massive Scimitar at you you manag to duck out of the way throwing up your hands to counterbalance his blade slices off the tip of your pinky finger you are attacked by yant yes yant Yu want this going to do it no one more uhoh I tell you raft seems to save me more than kill me like inid mid game play like this feel like he grabs the ball when he when he drops just yeah forget about the urant don't need to don't need to do anything lre tells you those moners were from the under and we searching for something that one done tiny dice games so tiny lights after three um three right modes see like that ra just saved my ball there I feel ah trying to back in the fsmo scoop I bump Tavern brawl some more may I help you my lord Let's Travel the up all right cubes down nope do it again I feel like this is the hardest shot in the game ah first tryal so there go all one stuck how to rate the best three Brian Eddy games would I attempt uh I'm not going to EPC or World Championships no unfortunately um I like attack from Mars in mid of Madness of course um so those two are up there and then I might actually put stranger things right now above all that or not above that but next line I really I really like that game for some reason I don't it when I had it something about it it's not it's not the best softer layout but it just was fun I love the sound the sound really grabbed me on it crit all right so this also doesn't uh raise the temperature on the magnets or not on the uh on the cube the temperature high I haven't done any flipper temperature tests on this I noticed a little fade on the right when I'm playing but it's nothing awful oh Shadow jeez Shadow wow I forgot about Shadow I owned a shadow too back in the day yeah Shadow actually I I take I take it back shadow shadow goes over uh stranger things yeah did I no I right ramp problem when you got three balls on the left damn it okay that's [Music] fine no one goes up against the dragon and win jackpot jackpot there's no reason no reason to wait on the um Super Jackpot here cuz you can't stack it you can't do anything so you might as well just get it when it's lit woo the one mode in the game where if the magnet goes you're you're you're in trouble it's the one where you have the the range weap weapon so there's a shot in there that holds on the magnet and without the magnet you're just kind of out of luck why is Super Jackpot good good good question that's right I don't know jackpot early code just not balanced yet that's what I would say at least ah come on now you are use the shield The Shield you have the shield you can save the ball with the [Music] shield ah want to get that double scoring before I before it dies although every time I hit the target it does reactivate CU this 's out you haven't played this game much at all you're double scoring just lighting it times fine here have for Tavern braw Instead The Tavern brawl has a uh triple jackpot worth 180 million not doubled so it's huge keep going so the adab ball's on the dragon you have the light hit light shoot the dragon light adab ball um I may or may not have balls hit there I you can't do it again but what you want are the looping supers which are lit via the center the green I can get this with double scoring it's huge almost as good as me ah My see the flippers are slightly weak it's not going to make it up that ramp damn cuz that's that's the big value shot in this too shield all right just making sure I extend my timer one couldn't see what it gave me if anything time extended impressive all right my time is up on my looping supers I got to reight [Music] them more time won't matter more time matters did the magnet give up the ghost amazing ah almost got third the Super Jackpot Beacon is lit there we go great shot and let's do it again maybe hey watch the scales so make sure I don't expire uh don't let my double scoring expire uh and that's down the lower right hand side of the screen if you want to see it it looks like I died out of there fire breather [Music] extended sorry I'm not looking at [Music] chat um orang shot to add a ball oh can I get in time no it didn't give it to me that's where the adab ball is though all right so that's [Music] that so yeah did we die yet we didn't quite yet I don't think that actually bumped T how may I help you my lord maybe it did I don't know didn't make it there why trade Star Wars premium for D and D let this game Bake Some More You need to let this game see where it goes first I think it's just a bit too early we must sck to make that decision Star Wars even though I'm not a huge fan of Star Wars all right mag is still working it's it's on the precipice here I think you're being attacked how's the other one 122 I should get that R no not a fan of Star Wars yes tell tell Disney tell him tell him of the game this is better than how yes yes I okay so I do also have to say I have not played the final code on the on Halloween I will supply it with that but I don't like the layout on Halloween so as you out of you see a of wag so again I lose my progress on the cube when you light the victory shot uh y te again r yeah the magnet's surviving so far isn't it that's is did we hit 150 yet 148 okay I'm impressed you are attacked by yant right the danger will never cease you are attacked by yant T oh that didn't work that wasn't the mag's fault though and having a not work in Cube is is is fun right that's the last to them all right there are scattered bodies Bor Steps From the shadows and kills the remaining reptilians the reptilians are working for zanar an evil I I want you to find out what is happening at the abandoned all what am I doing here the abandoned Farm that's right uh nothing I multipliers are if if you have a long ball multi everything abandon far just returned from an abandoned Farm I dispatched a few of the noric scouts but we need to return and investigate the area further okay I don't want that thing looping too much there gets here you are attacked by a noic uh noic yes let me try Cube uh oh no that was bad bad flip very bad flip there okay Shield you just use a shield oh wow that worked that time um that trap's going to get me I don't know what what's the Trap do anyways they must be guarding something you are attacked by a noic all right I know I don't have a shield even though the lights out my buttons only blinking blue cube all right we'll play Cube help I'm stuck I'm stuck all right let's see what happens here what why is my multiball starting I didn't shoot it I didn't uh make one of those shots you robbed me now you are me on my this must be the entrance to the old of the cult of the Dragon I thought they died ages battle all right so my my left ramp has malfunction I believe Shield is ready or maybe this is a code thing cuz the ramp is actually staying down now it's not going back up like it should the jackpot jackp well went up there never mind so maybe the second Cube multiball it has it uh just up by in general I mean down which is really going to throw that temp up on that thing if I'm in this for very long so that right there jackpot how I learn rules so quickly it's just a matter of playing the game I at least at home I find I pick up the rules a lot better um it's just time in playing the games a little bit witchcraft that's great [Music] yeah the jackpot sorry I don't have a you know a fantastic answer it's just repetition and then see seeing what you know playing it and paying attention during it and oh magnet's dead I think maybe not I don't know Super Jackpot woo you have collected a jackpot it's not over yet let's see here jayand thank you yeah mag's gone it died what are we at 152.5 yeah it's right around where I thought now it's the other the other coil is going to that this thing has no thermal protection on it especially since I'm in this where it's just down all the time it's um come on I'm going to do a post transfer ah let's just shoot into there yeah cuz what happens once this one starts overheating the ramp doesn't drop all the way down so excuse me next time it goes up it'll go down only halfway so that's that's where the big problem is for me at least you were impressive but I can't imag you know if this game's in a tournament you know it's going to overheat I think ah bad shot oh use a shield use [Music] it okay cook an egg I can cook an egg you want to cook it come on over yeah see that should have grabbed the m magnet so from what I could tell it's around 120° that's when it uh reactivates hey watch the scales come on ah that was my all my fault all my fault you have a high score please enter your initials put on it for you yeah thanks Ben for me I miss anybody else in here all right new to escape her banishment I know I can finish this game in a one shot two your Journey Begins on the road to greenest you are being attacked by an owl bear you arrive in greenest a farming Village you meet balinor a high level Z meet Balor he tells you he needs your help the party rides I didn't pay attention to the town I started I they see you approach and get off a few arrows before you can attack you are being attacked stick to the I thought I was cooking the game there I thought that it was going to crash right there woo kind of paused for a moment all right yeah no and that's not strong enough to make it up with the assist anymore which is fine I think we got put po Drive dry you know I can't the reason I don't dual stream is my bandwidth can't take it good work here's your promised goal it will be more for you don't have another my my ISP just does not go fast enough sucks I don't want to use um R stream or anything like that cuz the adds latency Upstream I have 15 on a good day welcome to Dungeon Crawl level one and when when I was when I was doing the Dual streams it was that was I had dropouts a lot you went down a hall and see yep Spectrum couldn't couldn't do there's no other option here you went down a hall and see a door but I still play Godzilla not I don't play anything that much really sadly the games are just sitting here lately is my yeah I did adjust that and I added the uh the myar from PM attacking and decide to help defend the Cobalts definely by I I've checked there is nothing I mean I I think if I did a business line of some sort I might be able to get something but uh no the symmetrical gigabit is not available here I did try that where does myar go there's a one that goes in front of the kick out here and then the other goes on the the vck back there cuz that thing just gets hammered in the back watch it that's my fire breathing we did it as a team why why why why why you got a button use the button ah carrier pigeons I like that that'd be much more efficient you're on to something de I have just returned from an abandoned Farm I dispatched a few of the noric scouts but we need to return and investigate the area further I yeah you still have to bend that deflector no matter what cuz it's just going to destroy it otherwise yeah just some rocks yeah sure take Dragon we can play another Tavern ball left ramp is super hot it's going it will start malfunction in fact why is it going down right now that ramp should not go down in Dragon multiball right it is going down so why is it going down and for it to go down for that ramp to go down it has to pulse that coil I wonder if I should can you see it going yeah you can see it going up and down right yeah on the left right there you can kind of watch it yeah every time it flickers so that thing should be should be up for Dragon multiball jackpot time my shield light is not working now and we're in celebration and the ramp is still down that ramp is going to get it's going to start burning now wrath is uh you know taking his Vengeance out on the ramp instead of the game instead of me the red I not finish the mode I [Music] didn't they must be guarding something you are attacked by a noic yes A ntic another ntic I do not have another Shield oh magnet still has not returned magnet should return around 120 it's still that's still early yeah and the ramp went up so I don't know why the ramp does that uh behavior when it's hot hey I will tell you the ramp is not flush with the Playfield anymore it is uh it's uh up a little Shield is ready now it went up or down I mean uh it goes up just fine but it yeah it's not down it's not down right now it's partially done now I should have put a camera on jeez is the NAIC not dead yet oh it's just about this will do it huh this must be the entrance to the old is this game fire yet it's getting there it's I'm trying to catch on fire it Bur burn me the other day so this is I'm burning it back glates down into the well you Des send down to find the Undead cultist Undead cultists are attacking you oh yeah that uh that ramp's not possible the the left orbit is not a possible shot now hopefully it doesn't force me to shoot it I have just the spell for this Undead cultists are attacking you more more oh no left left uh see it's not even it's it's halfway that's what's weird right now it should be up but yet if I shoot the right orbit it pops up just fine so why when it's hot does it behave like this where it tries to stay down nice hit magnet's getting close all right come on tell me the right ramp is the right shot here I don't want to have to shoot the left oh no I I I can't shoot that I can't and there's look at that it's not going to work no one goes I'm missing my shot here but now you are definitely going to under there are stairs to go down and exit where do we at 181 I don't know' been busy building something let's SE the place shoot the dragon targets to raise the to light yet h no Shield yeah 120 is what I was thinking yeah large score and so me for me the concern is left the less the magnet and more that left the left up down [Music] ramp I will call all right the Fantastic machine I don't think i' heard that call shows up unexpectedly while we're talking and CAU as fast as I could as you enter the stairs you see an ornate room some cultists are opening a portal they plan to push a crate through Undead cultists are attacking you hey Undead cultists are attacking you okay I really need to get the shot on the Fly just not getting it on the Fly Serge modular thank you for the Prime subit oh I have a mimic didn't even realize I could have tried to double the mimic too the 2x is ready to go no my range weapon isn't worth much I think yeah oh oh oh that was wrong that was bad I's find the LED refresh when it's you know low lit how how it's uh on the camera is showing up she Walla challenges Tim you were lucky this time as you defeat the last of the guards you see a crate disappear from the room I mean I didn't get this didn't get that hot last time I played this so that's uh that's that's concerning to me 190 189 sword ands the undead creature uh sure we do this brings out the blood St three okay I don't know which shop has the um has the extra ball for this week um I the other thing is I I you know I know I've been playing the game but is this a game that I played Westgate in already I don't know I would love to see progress on that map you are being attacked by an owl bear tinese dice game tines dice game begins I love this wrong so I'm giving that coil a break right now right I'm not I'm not I'm not using it class a 220 for do it again so that is one of the larger qu that's the larger coil than what this one is so I don't know what class it [Music] is 2 one your time ran out what does 10 gy do nothing right now I think there's a little bonus but that's about it what do I got here magic rain I don't care I don't care I don't care so this is not the town I wanted and I had not played Westgate this game so uh let's go to gun Grim just see uh AER attacks on the hunt for the town with the extra ball just to just know where it dungeon you turn left and see a door okay two straights get you out is it make it interesting uh it's not it's not it's not as compelling as I thought it would be let me say that I really had the higher hopes for it that the randomness but it's just it's just Randomness always it's not here the price you pay is the gear you get well and the magic weapons do nothing right now I believe so I'm just going to pass this a shame a shame and there's no modes I can play in the G either so we'll go to Cobalt town oh you know what it could be in dark hold I didn't play Dark hold did darkhold this game's kind of dead anyway so and there's no way I'm playing another Cube multiball until that coil CL cools down I I can't I I don't think I can make it up that ramp it's not down all the way how come they exit the staircase down cuz you're going down another level cuz there's five levels but yes yeah I understand your point where you're exiting but you're going down I guess it just means you're going down to the next level Cobalt mining town is a small shanty town there level three I think level four you get an automatic to go looking for them you are being attacked what's that I didn't even get to do anything just give me a r shield yeah the light on the uh The Shield isn't working right there so I didn't know when was going to expire except for the sound oh that's bad oh okay plus two more foes after this Shield is ready Shield's ready all right good plus one more foes ah I'm going just going to go for the uh die to finish this off there we critical hit oh you went down a hall and see uh we're going right you're being attacked by animated armor animated armor damn it m scratch I'm going to be forced to shoot that shot now cutting words cunning words I don't think I played much as The Bard I haven't heard these some of these calls lot or a lot of hey watch the me not this time watch it that's my fire breather right shortcut Loop is really hard to hit yeah I agree it's it's probably the hardest shot in the won okay I do want to go get my treasure chest cuz who knows what that's going to contain what am I getting extra balls lit all right that's not the extra ball for the uh dungeon but that's a separate extra ball which is nice you went down a h and see uh I'm going all rights right oh another rat all right rat I know you where you were I saw you that coil is going up still even though I'm not using it right the up down ramp I'm not crazy it's 191 now nice hit won all right Treasure Chest what do you got for me this time Dragon multiball it's party time okay I did not expect that one one bit and an extra ball again so that's why you want to um that's why you want to play those uh dungeon crawls huh the random Awards random treasure chests you were lucky so this game is no longer dead I have two two additional balls once I collect that one no one goes up against a dragon although maybe it is dead cuz I can't shoot that left ramp see now you are definitely I normally don't play two dragon multiballs in a single game so this is kind of a weird you are I'm extended oh that's the double scoring Super hey watch the scales all right I got the extra it looks time more time won't matter you want know how to get the like the triple I I see in the achievement list is like a double super a triple super I don't know how to get them yeah this does Nerf the cube strategy all day you're right you're right your time has been extended time extended always be extended if you're going for a matter I like that quote's like the most true quote in the game will there be special critical no no special cards for the game that so that did go up in value I didn't realize that actually went up in value and that's it all right um where are we here let's buy nothing sure okay so it's in Cobalt mining town when you have enough gold extra ball illuminates it doesn't matter I can do this in any order whatever Nar tells you something must be going on in that Cobalt town 200 oh I didn't even Noti you will need to sneak the do I need to get a fire extinguisher yeah it it's it's should be down right now and it's not can I can Will it give me credit if it goes under curious no no so I cannot play Cube multiball anymore it's dead natural and that one takes a long time to cool down here 20% left nope it's not good four this will go down to two if I make this and then I can make the right orbit to finish it off yes uh-oh oh no no okay pretty good got three extra balls still all right just drill through modes now a mon since I can't play Tavern ball again being attacked by a ble ble forget the ble let's rescue the miners these Cobalts are more dense than usual more we did it Mel are a bit robotic but thank you as they come out of the l h oh I'd love to oh let's do another Dungeon Crawl that's that would be uh number four [Music] welcome to Dungeon Crawl level four and extra balls lit there a lot of extra balls you found an exit and received a bonus so go straight if you want to exit really quick 10 million for free all right white shots now tells you to break into the Cobalt Vault and retrieve an armor breath plate oh is that one that's one okay oh there we go trap it or not watch it that's my fire ah okay that one made it enough spectator is attacking you ah it's on the U-turn shot damn um I can just shoot the white arrows right to finish this off can I actually don't know because I normally I think I finish off The Spectator okay so yes the answer is yes you find the armor as you exit the vault in Cobalt town you see a group of scent you approach them and give them the Armor All right something in must be influen see this ramp it's down it's trying to go down right now I I I don't know why ah I made it under it though good and it's down again ah Shield avoid the slings to maintain stealth yeah it's cooling off but not enough it needs to get down to like 160 before it starts even having a hint of what it's supposed to be oh right looking at the time and looking at uh yeah I think I'm going to call it after that crash there cuz that the yeah I can't get a cube multiball again so I can't play Tavern brawl I think we've uh we've done enough damage to the game what do you think ready for a release party you know we had a we've had launch tournaments we had one at aogi and it held up okay um I think in a match play in a qualifying tournament I think it's going to be a problem but a match play tournament it's if there's some break between rounds that's not played all the time I think you'll be okay but then at the same time the the the resets with the c code are an issue for tournaments I'm I'm wagering you know I'm sure Dwight's working his butt off trying to finish the code and fix the code no doubt the guy's a he does such good work um he'll get it fixed um my concern is more the temperature like I said cuz at some point that that left ramp just doesn't work anymore once once it reaches a certain temperature and the magnet too it's a it would be a shame if you're playing in a tournament and your opponent the magnet worked just fine and then you come up and the magnets too hot and it stops working it's cooling down little by little but not not not fast enough I mean how long are we going to sit here before it gets to 160 and that's just like the you know that's the edge you really need at 140 130 and yeah and the shield I'm never you know sorry sorry Vic I just I'll never get the shield down to you know up to anything because I don't use it enough I'd be curious what uh what other people do with the shield how how how high get yeah it's cooling down slowly but turn the compress I got I have a where'd that thing go H I bought one of the rechargeable compressed air things that thing's fantastic I could just blow in here it'll it'll really circulate the air uh no I'll call it quits now all right hit the button go somewhere else send you somewhere else I don't know when I'll stream next by the way uh I want to get this done today because I couldn't do it on Thursday and then I seem to have a dirty pool Jeff's been doing a uh he's got a great quality streaming he's playing D and dle right now although his magnets are probably working um was going to say with tpf I assume there's going to be a lot of tpf streams so I didn't want to stream over the weekend so I wanted to get this done today um otherwise I'll stream something else next week maybe Jaws before next why before next Thursday ruo it's been been a long time since I played Jaws I was actually trying to see when Shane wanted his game back CU it's still not mine but it's here I have to clean it it is filthy from indisk which is the other reason I put the I put the blue rubbers on this game you know I I changed out the black rubber just because it keeps the game so much cleaner um you know I took both the Labyrinth and the Jaws to indisk the Labyrinth is clean still even after three full days of play worth the Jaws are just filthy Women's World all right got it so maybe it be Jaws next week all right all a game time if you're still around message me I want to know what you want besides a selfie unless you're going to pull one from the archives all right uh take care everyone see you next time have fun if you're going to tpf bye oh I didn't I did I hit the raid now no I didn't even hit the raid button did I I I I I fool told you haha all right now you're going over bye
