TL;DR

George Fisher streams Disney TRON: Legacy pinball, discusses industry dynamics and used market deals.

Summary

George Fisher hosts Don't Panic Flip, streaming gameplay of Stern's Disney TRON: Legacy pinball machine (Pro model). The stream features casual gameplay commentary, chat interaction, community updates about TPN (Twitch Pinball Network) scheduling, and tangential discussions about pinball market dynamics, manufacturer business models, and used machine deals. George discusses Deep Root and American Pinball business practices, shares stories from collectors about finding cheap machines, and plays through multiple games of Tron attempting to reach the Portal mode.

Key Claims

  • Deep Root has not yet released a pinball machine despite being discussed in the community

    high confidence · George Fisher comment: 'It's really hard to judge a company except by the person when they haven't put out anything, with the exception of the person who is the face.'

  • American Pinball ownership structure may prioritize business/financial testing over pure pinball passion

    medium confidence · George Fisher: 'I'm basing that entirely off of Kaneda's interview. Uh, sorry. You can't, I don't know that you can call it an expose, but, um, but it was actually a really well done podcast where he did nothing but investigate kind of the financials and the people backing American Pinball.'

  • Zen Studios could not obtain licensing for Plants vs Zombies on FX3

    medium confidence · George Fisher: 'Granted, on the other hand, Zen couldn't get plans for zombies on FX3 either. Yeah, I'm looking at EA in both cases because screw them, okay?'

  • Used pinball machines can be found for very low prices ($300-$400) on apps like LetGo and Offer Up

    high confidence · Chat user Captain Retro: 'I've never even heard of Let Go. Check out MPT3K's emotes. Those are awesome. We're going to need a beer here pretty soon. keep it going here' and 'uh let go and offer up they're pretty neat uh thanks right orbit right ramp equals rinsler combo that's exactly how it got sucked in i got a judge dread for 300 bucks'

  • A collector restored a Judge Dredd machine for $900 total and sold it 6 months later for $3,500, which started their arcade restoration business

    high confidence · Captain Retro: 'i got a judge dread for 300 bucks that was missing a lot of stuff uh brought it back to life for under 1200 and all sold it about six months later for 3500 that started my business five years ago of restoring and repairing and selling arcade pinball machines.'

  • Space Cadet Pinball (original, non-demo version) got people interested in pinball and inspired Deep Root to want to build a physical machine

    medium confidence · George Fisher: 'I've heard nothing but great things. In fact, I think Pinball Wiz, the most recent podcast from, was it Super Awesome? I didn't finish listening to it, but it's all about an interview with the guy from Deep Root. I can't think of his name right now, but the guy from Deep Root apparently really wanted to build a physical version of Space Cadet because that got him and a lot of other people, I think, into pinball.'

Notable Quotes

  • “And I'm basing that entirely off of Kaneda's interview. Uh, sorry. You can't, I don't know that you can call it an expose, but it was actually a really well done podcast where he did nothing but investigate kind of the financials and the people backing American Pinball.”

    It's, it's slick back. There's, there's gel in my hair. I don't, I don't normally do that, but yeah, anyway, so, um, oh, damn it. I went to have, darn it, five push-ups right away. Anyway, what we're drinking tonight that smells amazing is an American Sour Ale Raspberry from Loveland Ale Works. So excited. Today has been a ridiculous day. It was non-stop. No, caveat, great push-up start. It has been non-stop all day. Phone calls, meetings, things that had to be done at all the right times. I even got to call one of my clients just a little bit ago and let them know that the stuff I was hoping to have done tomorrow, I'm probably not going to have done, so I will be working Saturday. This is the first fun moment, I can honestly say, short of putting my kid to bed tonight. That was actually a pleasure. But beyond those two things, right now, as I'm about to take this first sip, is my first moment to relax. So just enjoy this with me for a moment.
    7:39
    Yeah, that tastes really messed up. This might be a three-sipper right here. Hold on. Pinball Whiz coming in hot, raiding with a party of three. Pinball Whiz, you're amazing. I did not get a chance to stop by today. It was that crazy. What were you streaming?
    8:03
    Ah, Space Cadet Pinball is rigged. Now, that's one of the earlier versions of pinball that got a lot of people into it, right? Space Cadet being... You know what the difference is between you and me?
    8:17
    I make this look good. MPT3K, yes, the logos are in the schedule as well. Yeah, that's all a part of the TPN widget that we built, so that way it automatically updates when you're a member of the TPN network and you put your schedule into our public-facing Google Calendar, it will automatically rotate through and show you the next few streams coming up in the TPM network. So on that note, we've got Chuck Wirt with SDTM Pinball coming up on Sunday, it looks like, from 10 to 12, and Rayday Pinball streaming Sunday evening from 7 to 8.30 p.m., and that's all in Mountain Time. When they display this on their streams, it will switch to whatever their current time zone is and adjust all of the times accordingly. Yeah, yeah, it's really cool. And following up on Pinball was in Space Cadet, except I streamed the non-demo version, right? Like the version that didn't come for free with Windows. I'm not sure what version of Windows that was. That may have been 98. In other words, no one knows about the full tilt pinball that played the demo. Nope. That's awesome. I've heard nothing but great things. In fact, I think Pinball Wiz, the most recent podcast from, was it Super Awesome? I didn't finish listening to it, but it's all about an interview with the guy from Deep Root. I can't think of his name right now, but the guy from Deep Root apparently really wanted to build a physical version of Space Cadet because that got him and a lot of other people, I think, into pinball.
    10:01
    Robert Mueller, thank you, Dice. Coming in with all the words. And Caviel, I did catch, by the way, that that was just a Thursday for you. That's pretty standard.
    10:12
    Yeah. What color? Did you turn off the color with that? It doesn't even look like there's a light on back there anymore.
    10:25
    Deep Root is eh! Right? It's really hard to judge a company except by the person when they haven't put out anything, with the exception of the person who is the face. And that face has changed, not in person, but I feel like in tone quite a bit over the past couple of years. Okay, okay, we've got some blue here. Let me switch over so you guys can see what we're doing tonight. We're playing some Tron. I'm really hoping for Portal. Like, that's always been the goal. I think we got to within one shot of Portal the last time. It was a bit of a letdown. Just a hair. I look at Deep Root as the national inquirer of pinball. Just a lot of talk, and it's mostly about nothing. And here's the deal. That might be accurate, right, up until now, because they haven't released a pinball machine, but I'm jazzed about if they don't go out of business.
    11:27
    I'm jazzed for another manufacturer who takes pinball seriously with a group of individuals who take it just as seriously as everyone else involved. It seems like American pinball, there are people involved who take it very, very seriously, but the people who own the company and run the financials are using it as a test bed for, uh, for like, uh, a family of, of, of people who are just trying to run a business. And I'm basing that entirely off of Kaneda's, uh, interview. Uh, sorry. You can't, I don't know that you can call it an expose, but, um, but it was actually a really well done podcast where he did nothing but investigate kind of the financials and the people backing American Pinball. Regardless, at the end of the day, you got a bunch of people who are into pinball at American Pinball putting out pins that I guess they're excited about, which is always good. And CodemanTV, welcome to the stream. Granted, on the other hand, Zen couldn't get plans for zombies on FX3 either. Yeah, I'm looking at EA in both cases because screw them, okay? It's the Seinfeld of pinball. It's a show about nothing. I actually got that reference that was good caviar because i have seen a lot of uh a lot of seinfeld it would be interesting to look at their books i say that about a lot of things dice you're amazing thank you so much for gifting a tier one sub to codeman tv that is 71 gifted subs in the channel seriously you're you're you're amazing someone yeah someone cut their own hair uh so rather than actually try yeah codeman enjoy those emotes they all have sounds typically associated with them and uh and yeah this is what happens when when you cut your own hair so uh pin's hair looked bad.
    13:30
    Oh, Pinsomniac. So Pinsomniac posted a picture of himself cutting his own hair, and this great little, like, he started shaving it and got it down to a level he was happy with and then apparently either put on a different thing or it auto-adjusted and he went from, like, a nice, consistent color to just one going up the backside. I imagine you had to go through and do the rest of your hair about this short as well, right? Oh, that wasn't your hair? Oh, that's...
    14:02
    That makes a lot more sense then. Alright. Music, I'm gonna turn that up. I owe five pushups before we get started.
    14:18
    One, two, three, four, five. Alright, five pushups for saying the D word earlier. And now, we're ready to play some pinball. Have some fun. If you guys have not played this game and you're curious about rules, go ahead and ask away. Either I or others will respond.
    14:47
    And the volume is really low on this. Like, it's so low it was at zero. All right, and it's set to auto-plunge. How great is that?
    15:07
    All right, what are we going for here? I guess we could try and get into light cycles, so... That's always a solid start. uh what do we need to hit here we could go right ramp from this side or we could hit the recognizer let's go i mean right orbit i meant scoop there's a gem shot anytime you can hit a gem shot just hit gem it's until you until you complete gem just do that Oh, George, I did write an original track for MLP. It's called Paranormal Temper Tantrum. Dice, I want to hear this.
    16:05
    There's a fun little banking gem shot. trying to hit gem trying to hit gem whoo if we hit there we're gonna get clues so let's not hit the scoop for a minute there we go let's see if we can i guess man i want to bring a multi-ball into uh into clue dodge duck drive darn oh no the d word i think i said d a m and or just brick everything caviar you know me well enough i feel like to know that's how i solve all of my pinball problems that sucks at least we didn't start anything uh i'll take the freebie there wow that that did not trigger that's awesome um uh left let's just find a shot shall we there we go hit that left orbit I thought you just drink more beer to solve your pinball problems. Cheers.
    17:39
    Ooh, that's a... Wait, this is not loud enough. Oh, I don't have the red button on this profile. So I actually need to come in here. Hold on.
    17:58
    Alcohol. Not pinball problems, just problems in general. Yes. Alcohol, the cause of and solution to all of life's problems. Thank you, Caviel.
    18:11
    Well played. Well played. cool solid start solid solid start we're just gonna we're gonna say that was our fun warm up trying to dial things in I think by the end we did hit one shot we intended it.

Cool. there it is get that gem shot totally got it all right uh one more for zeus hurry up there it is so now we want to hit the zeus targets there's one

    20:20
    Just reading the chat with no thoughts. I like how George read my question but didn't answer it. I'll get back to it, Faye. I'm going to get back to it. But, all right. No, no, no. Roboctopus is working.
    20:32
    Occasionally, I mean, Roboctopus is a busy machine. It can't respond to every request, right? And, Faye, today was nonstop, man. I woke up. I came downstairs. I got to work. I went for two hours in meetings and change requests on an application that needed to be changed immediately hosted to toasted is what it's all about snuck in a quick shower and a very quick lunch kept going right up until dinner watched about an hour's worth of what's that movie How to Train Your Dragon 3 and then went back to work and I've been, I was working right up until about 15 minutes before the beginning of the stream. I had to make some changes to the stream, which is great. Lake Show, welcome! Which is also why we started about five minutes later than normal because I had, like on top of all that, I thought I had already prepped by moving Tron over here, but I didn't. So I had to move pins around at the last second. It's just awesome. lake show gifted a tier one sub by dice lake show was probably on the stream for less than 20 seconds before dice comes swooping in with a tier one sub dice you're amazing lake show uh enjoy those emotes the majority of them i think have uh do i need yes fay i need more push-ups i did not get a workout in enjoy those emotes they all have sounds associated with them and uh everyone knows last minute changes are the bestest changes both welcome to the stream and i couldn't agree more those are definitely the best the best changes all right oh it's gonna give us a uh a rinsler man i want to hit those uh those gem shots Stubbs just redeemed 10 push-ups Jedi McMuffin just redeemed 10 push-ups we're at 20 right now uh we need some kind of sound or pop-up video for push-ups we're gonna we're gonna have something for it I think in the near future uh I'm gonna find out if I can subscribe to those through the through the API
    23:12
    I'll take that. And if I can... Ooh, that was maybe two? And if I can... You know, we got some fun stuff in the works. I brought it up briefly. We'll see if I can actually make it happen.
    23:40
    But... Yeah, we got some fun stuff. There's really nothing else to say, I think, about it until we can prove it out.
    23:52
    It exciting And I also getting Jessica involved because she is really good at stuff like uh Uh, like Legos? By the way, she's already got both feet done on Voltron, mind you.
    24:18
    Alright. No restart, but we do have Clue. Let's hit a Clue shot. A Clue shot. There's one. There's two.
    24:49
    and nope missed it three but we timed it out ah whoo wow that is a lot of nightbot right there it'd be cool if you collected those events and made a counter right yeah so that way we could have something easily on screen that keeps track of when somebody pays or uses tomfoolery points or whatever your points might be. The color saturation on your camera is way off. That should be a blue. I didn't think there was any saturation on the camera. Hold up. Hold on. I might actually have a saturation on here. Yeah, apparently this scene was very unprepared for tonight. The scene collection, I should say. So that is tilt bob, players, camera, filters, there, oh, that is players,
    25:57
    filter, there is a filter. There we go. How's that? That should be better. That, now there is no filter. This is, uh, native camera color. and now i can throw that one back up on the television so actually i can read chat which is impossible uh dice jesus did i miss that over there gifted a tier one sub to late wait no i i just scrolled up i didn't miss that we're good uh what do i oh wow that is a lot of chat i apologize i'm slacking here jenna mcmuffin perhaps a cameo video video from gilbert godfrey saying that he can't believe for his betting air points to go online and make someone do push-ups.
    26:45
    Jedi McMuffin is doing 20 in solidarity. And bright blue, much better. Exactly the same, still way off.
    26:54
    Wait, let's see, let's see. What about this? Let's just say blue. Exclamation color blue. What does that do? That looks fine.
    27:07
    Super blue. Barely an inconvenience. Did you see the original Tron movie when you were a kid? High Tech for its time. Yes, I did. I owe 20 push-ups. But I'm going to do that after this game.
    27:21
    There's that guy there. Now we've got light cycle lit. Awesome. We're hitting all of our shots tonight.
    27:35
    That's kind of hard to say. mainly because it's not true. Let's see if we can hit another gem, though.
    27:48
    There it is. Quora and Light Cycle at the same time. Obviously how I intended that. There was no way it was accidental. You can't accidental into that kind of stuff, right?
    28:08
    Cool. Let's hit the recognizer and get our next ball added. I don't want to do that again I feel like I just wasted an add-a-ball
    28:56
    All right, somehow we defeated Korra. I'm willing to believe we hit... Whew! We hit a gem shot. Nice, so we got Zeus lit. I should say Zeus running. We just got gem.
    29:26
    How did that not hit it? One more shot on Zeus. Did we get it? No, we did not. One more. Darn it. Oh, crap. We just hit Sea of Simulation? What just happened? we did not complete gem so there we go so uh i want to hit gem i will hit the tron targets and see if we can bank it Ah! Here we go. I guess let's go Quora. Totally works. apparently we have not found that target yet oh my god accidentally got into like a free sea of simulation could not hit gem even once all right but what we do need to do is 20 20 push-ups and turn this up i couldn't hear crap gary oh crap i never look at cameo gary is gary bucey in cameo because that might have to happen subs I'm sorry it's funny I knew I forgot I knew that I was forgetting to put somebody into a call out like I knew that I had something and I had a couple people put them online but nothing nothing uh let's see here speakers can i i feel like i can't hear when this happens but maybe i don't know i can hear it it's fine it's fine we're all we're all fine here how is the sound on the desktop by the way is that okay uh everything's under control situation normal everything's perfectly all right now we're fine We're all fine here. We're fine. Oh, 20 push-ups. I'll be right back. Oh, yeah. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty. caviel throwing 10 more down we'll do that on the next batch caviel says watch the timing wait a second and jedi's gonna do 10 more we're gonna feel like we're gonna get this first was that our first game no it's our second game actually the first game was a warm-up our first actual game we got to see a simulation yeah free gem shot i don't know if you guys saw that but there is a way to get a gem shot uh off of the plunge a digital frontier Wow.
    33:43
    Ross Marquand is on here. He can be anybody. I don't know who that is. That probably says a lot about them as an actor or actress.
    34:11
    There's a gem. Cool. I'll take it. Oh, we got a Zeus. Give me that gem! What do we need on Zeus? I think we just need the two over there to get Zeus. Oh, Zeus is running.
    34:39
    He's a great voice impressionist. This is Ross Marquand. But he was also on The Walking Dead. Okay. Uh, let's see here. What can we hit?
    34:55
    Right into light cycle. Nope. Nice ball save. All the way. Come on, come on, come on, come on. Nope, not going to happen.
    35:17
    There it is. Oh, we just got a gem! Gem! Got a gem! Finish gem! Gotta love it. Cool! I'll take that. That's not a bad start. Let's hit some Korras. Just like that.
    36:08
    There's another Gem. Whatevs. So we got Flynn and Jem done. We need Clue. I kind of want to bring a multiball into Clue.
    36:29
    Take that, and here's a Quora. Oh my god! That was a panic flip right there. See how Clue and Quora were still flashing right there at the end? It's taunting me. By the way, this camera, I've got to flip something around here.
    37:02
    There's that. Oh, my gosh. And then here, let's go. Give me a second here. I realize I didn't turn on my other pinball machines. I was so focused. I'm trying to get the stream started. I was very unprepared. All right, now we've got stuff. Left it on the table. It's the short one. Yeah, that was the short one, by the way. I haven't figured out yet. Honestly, I just haven't spent enough time on the stream. I have so many changes I have to make right now. All right, let's get back in. We've got good music playing. uh we've been to sos once let's get back there but let's focus on actually completing these modes shall we and pez welcome to the stream cardioid filter we can't oh right yes that uh that makes a lot of sense mr kennedy welcome to the stream uh what shenanigans are we up to tonight we are up to tron-esque shenanigans Let's grab the freebie here towards the light cycle on the full plunge.
    38:28
    And I guess let's start right away with Korra. Oh, that's good. There's a sneaky ball capture up there. That is a dirty pool if I was in a multiball.
    38:50
    Quora. There's a gem. Uh-oh, somebody did something. What was that? Shenanigans coming from Wolfman. Thank you very much for that one bit. New gold portal before for SOS 50 mil. Alright, let's do it.
    39:32
    It's not hard enough just to get to Portal, but let's just skip. Let's just skip it all, right? There's a gem. I'll take that.
    39:48
    Oh my god. Woo! Let's get into Light Cycle. Thank you. I'm taking it. Woo! All right, we did not complete light cycle. We've got some work we're going to have to do there.
    40:49
    All right, we've got Clue lit. I just kind of moved the table just a hair, just a hair. I noticed on one of the Colorado Pinball streams that the combo shots have names. I didn't realize it because it's hard to read on the DMD unless you're watching another person's stream. Huh, I did not know that either.
    41:19
    Wow, I have hit the hell out of that shot. Wow. Almost got a free one there. Whoo! That sucks! Ah!
    42:01
    Uh, let's see here. I don't want to start Clue on the Scoop. I want to get a multiball going before I hit that, if possible. Almost tagged the gem shot there. That was really close. let's try this again shall we uh the quora to gem shot is called the sirens combo just like that so we've got gem running
    42:41
    Here we go, I hit Quorra. There it is. Quorra, we've still got Jem running. Got it. That completes both Quora and Gem for us.
    43:35
    Alright, so we've got Quora done, Zeus done, Gem, Flynn. we've got Clue lit. Well, we had Clue lit for a second. Now we need to get into Recognizer.
    43:55
    One more shot gets us into Disc Multiball. All right, we're in Disc Multiball. And we just want to hit the hell out of the disc on this one. And it'd be great if we could complete Clue.
    44:33
    So we've got the super lit. Got it. All right, so... Oh, my God! What ball are we on? We missed clue and light cycle. so we only have to complete two if we can get it into the scoop.
    45:05
    Please tell me that was... What ball is that? What ball? Oh my god. Woo-hoo-hoo! Alright, this is ball three. I'm not going to try and complete those because we also need Tron, so we need three right now.
    45:26
    So here's C, and we're skipping right to Clue. So let's just hit the ramps and the clue shots. Alright, we're cool. Pink Ninja Man, welcome to the stream. We are in Sea of Simulation.
    46:00
    Oh my god. And we're out of Sea of Simulation. That's fine. That's twice in 30 some odd minutes. If we didn't just get like a foot and a half of snow today in Fort Collins, it would have been gone on Sunday.
    46:27
    But we got a lot of snow. Alright, let's do this I know Alright Alright, more Quora, more Gem I'll take it all Gimme gimme gimme. I'll take that. More clue. There's clue. Darn it. Uh, how much would a bad boy like this sell for z y x u uh this guy i'm trading and getting uh 6500 for it
    47:35
    oh and some machines you can get a twofer on the in lanes huh i didn know about that 7k yeah i trading it to a guy i known for a while and he given me two very very good condition games
    47:53
    I guess let's go here? I'll take it. Skillshot! Give me a... oh, it's giving me a Zeus. Clue. Alright, so we just started Zeus. There we go, light cycle.
    48:43
    all right so we just defeated Zeus and now we're in Quora so I could let that drain that's fine All right, so now what we want to do is get a gem shot.
    49:39
    Uh, here we go, gem. I'll take that, Laz. Yes! Oh my god, that was awful. So we didn't finish Korra.
    50:08
    Nope. Ah. Voof! Welcome to the stream. And what's your pinball's a rich man's game? Eh. Exactly. Yeah. And if you go through the Zen shot and hit a Tron target through the Zen shot and hit a Tron target, it spots Oh, really? Never look at Gift Laz in the mouth. I never do.
    50:55
    There goes ball three. I think we're 50% SOS at this point. I'll take that. And, oh, come on. 500k. There's a gem shot.
    51:16
    That's a solid start. That's what I like to see. Let's go... Not at all what I wanted to have happen. Right orbit to that thing. and now light cycle there totally happened worked oh man this game i haven't played pinball zxy pinball it's an amazing sport in my opinion if you haven't played it well hey don't do so while we're in quarantine but if you haven't played it in a long time you should uh go to a location that has it uh when we all can and uh and throw down on a game. It's, uh, it's, uh, the, the sport itself is, uh, is surging risk is experiencing a resurgence right now. There you go. Right. Uh, and if you want brand new machines, yes, I, Oh wait, hold on.
    52:18
    Uh, let's see here. If you want brand new machines. Yes. I find deals all the time on used machines, like a couple hundred bucks for 2k or 3k game. Just picked up a transport of the rescue for 400 works and looks great. Deals are out there. They are. Absolutely. All right, let's see if we can grab this light cycle right there.
    52:51
    I'm going to let that drain. Nope, that's weak sauce right there. Oh my gosh. By the way, is this still not centered? No, it looks pretty centered. Oh, but we are a tad forward.
    53:32
    we're good we're good yeah mpt3k twice and arcmecha welcome to the stream and thank you very much happy thursday to you All right. What are we going for here? I guess let's go hit the Recognizer.
    54:06
    Now let's go Quora. Nope. Just bad pony-owning right there. Sea of Stimulation. No, I have not. I am drinking an American Sour Ale Raspberry from Loveland Aleworks.
    54:24
    And Ark Mecca wants to know where Captain Retro is finding his cheap deals. I'm in Atlanta. It was on the Let Go app on my phone. I've never even heard of Let Go.
    54:34
    Check out MPT3K's emotes. Those are awesome. We're going to need a beer here pretty soon. keep it going here. There's a gem shot off the plunge. That feels very satisfying. Right orbit? Nope.
    55:02
    Wow! Loving it. Loving it right now. If it was easy, it wouldn't be fun, I guess, right? Get around, get around, get around Nope Here we go, right Orbit All the way around, light cycle
    55:44
    Woo! Brutal. Nope, nope, nope, nope. All right, let's see if we can nudge into this here. So we've got Clue and Light Cycle running.
    56:09
    There's a Clue shot. Darn it. We got two more clue shots. There's one. One. Uno mas. Right orbit. Missed it. Darn it. All right. So what do we need now? We need everything right now.
    56:59
    I don't even remember seeing when Zeus got lit. There's a gem. There's another gem. Man, you do that twice.
    57:23
    I'll take that. And there's an end-of-the-line jackpot for two and a half. That is a light cycle. And we've got light cycle lit.
    57:39
    There we go. there's a gem to finish off gem Still need a three-way combo. Ugh. What else do we need here? We need Quora.
    58:24
    Whew, that had some spin on it. Let's go right orbit. There's Quora. All right, all right. Whoa, whoa. uh let go and offer up they're pretty neat uh thanks right orbit right ramp equals rinsler combo that's exactly how it got sucked in i got a judge dread for 300 bucks that was missing a lot of stuff uh brought it back to life for under 1200 and all sold it about six months later for 3500 that started my business five years ago of restoring and repairing and selling arcade pinball machines. Captain Retro, that's awesome. That's a really cool story.
    59:08
    Uh, MPZ3K says, DPF, I think I'm gonna make us more sounds for the stream. I am totally fine with that. That sounds great. Zeus probably got lit when he screamed, Libations for everybody!
    59:22
    Yeah, seriously, that is a really cool story. there we go obviously that's how you post transfer let's go quora yes good song one of my favorite multi balls in the game so in this multi ball you just have to hit the gem shot
    59:55
    Or you get an add-a-ball right there. Don't drain! We had an add-a-ball! One more shot on the Recognizer. So while you're in Quora, you can get an add-a-ball just by hitting the Recognizer three times. Let's see here. I have plans on doing a Retro Shop arcade music venue in the very near future, unless we can never go outside again. Really hoping that's not the case.
    60:34
    Alright, one more and then we gotta break and grab some beer. I think I also owe ten more push-ups. Grabbing the freebie from a full plunge.
    60:50
    Uh, Quora. There it is. There's a gem shot. Solid start. Quora, come on. Whew. Going to keep hitting that Quora to gem.
    61:24
    That was a slide save. Alright. Nice little bit of control here. That's all I'm hoping for. Quora. Oh my god, why is it every time we light something, every time, there's a left out lane drain. Alright, let's go right into Korra.
    62:24
    Ah, man! I just had to hit that, like, two more... That was just an awful multiball. Alright, we've got Light Cycle lit. I could have hit the Scoop. I was just struggling to hit anything right then.
    62:54
    There it is. So there's light cycle. Give me that back. Give me that back! Nope, not going to give it to me. Wow, that is just crap. All right, what do we need to do now? We need Flynn, Gem, and that multiball right there, the disc multiball.
    63:46
    Dang! What is that? That was DRI-374. Thank you very much for that follow. Welcome to the stream, and enjoy the flashing lights.
    64:03
    In the middle. Okay. Let's hit the all scores double. I'll take that. How many more shots do we need on the disc?
    64:48
    Get. Oh, wow. Ugh. we are seriously moving here I get a danger for that one give me something good here I will take it 500 that I don't care about points
    65:22
    There we go. All right. What are we doing here? We're going for the Recognizer again. There it is. Yeah, that shot right there. The disc shot. Grrr.
    66:19
    All right, let's restart this here. We can by hitting this. There it is. We get a two-ball multiball out of it now.
    66:49
    And now one to get the super. There it is. Alright, so we got the super on Dis. We just need Gem. I think we've already hit it a couple of times. It's a great game with somewhat lazy artwork on the playfield, but the flow, the flow! Yes, Captain Retro, you're absolutely right. The flow is great. And Caviel, thank you for the orange color there. You don't have Flynn. Come on, game. I know, right? Who actually tries for Flynn?
    67:38
    Let's keep going here. Two shots for Jem. All right. Cool. Cool. Yep. We were out of beer, right? So that's what we've got to do. You guys, I'll be right back. Be patient. I'm going to grab... No shots for Jim, exactly. I'm going to grab a beer. I will be right back. Toasty!
    68:18
    We'll be right back. Thank you. We'll be right back. pinball sheen i was there for that that was great oh so we got a beer i'm gonna switch up the music though let's see here my music yeah this is a quick playlist but it's all of my favorite music and this is for y'all right there
    70:44
    I think, like, I have a song that I really like, I think, for every year. By the way, I still owe 10 push-ups. Let's get those out of the way.
    70:55
    But I think this song might be in for a monument by somebody. I can't think. Hold on. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. All right, those were for caviar and let's try this again. Let's try it again. Freebie on the launch there. Cool. Great start. Not a problem Here we go
    71:50
    I'll take it. We're starting Clue. Here we go. Let's hit Korra. Totally got her. There's a clue. Korra?
    72:20
    Oh, man. We need a push-up cam. I bet you're just laying down and counting. FSU Massey. I do need a dedicated cam. one day when I get time to spend a little bit more time on my stream we'll get that set up on a more permanent basis would anybody vouch for me though? long day of failed streams gonna go to bed now mpt3k have a wonderful evening also mpt3k congrats I know it's not official yet but you were invited and I think accepted into the TPN streaming network.
    73:20
    Cool, that's obviously how we run the show here. Yes, thank you. Eventually. Fun fun, bye, have a good night.
    73:35
    All right, Korra. I'm gonna take all of that. You guys have seen how mean this machine has been. I'll take that, too. I'm taking that to the bank. All right, what do we got going on right now? Uh...
    74:46
    Woo! Wow, that was a nudge for the ages there. We need to get to Quora. Yeah, that's how we do a safe post transfer right there. There we go. Now we're in Quora.
    75:24
    Screen's pretty tilted there. There's a gym shot. Quora is done. Here we go. Trying to get light cycle at the same time here. All right, so we just got a four ball, which is the max you can get with this game.
    76:35
    It's obviously the dubstep. Here we go. A little Quora action there. Totally. There we go. All right, let's go for Quora again. Actually, can we get back into Light Cycle? I don't know what to do with that.
    77:35
    There we go. Let's go Quora again. Because we can still do Gem, I guess, while we're in this. I'm still in Light Cycle and potentially Quora.
    78:00
    We did not finish Light Cycle, but we did finish Quora. We have Clue lit right now. Alright, what do we need now? We do need Gem.
    78:29
    Man, alright. Clue. There we go. We're going to start Clue. Here we go, left orbit! We spilled a good amount of beer there. Oh my god.
    79:03
    Alright, what do we need to do now? We still need gem and disc. Give me a gem. Give me gem. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. I'll take a Zeus. That's fine.
    79:27
    There's a gem. Oh man, we're gonna have to talk a lot. I love this song, but if, uh, this is, this song will get my stream quieted very quickly. Okay.
    79:50
    So, what do y'all want to talk about? Perhaps the never-ending story? Ending story. All right, so while we're in this mode, we just want to hit the disc. I mean, while we're in disc multiball, surprisingly, it wants you to hit the disc, right?
    80:41
    There was a gem. And now we're in gem. We're going to restart disc multiball. Darn it. I was trying to finish off gem.
    81:11
    haters are gonna say that was not air defense but that was definitely air defense ricochet into the recognizer disc multi-ball my beer went skunky off to get a different one i guess
    81:41
    Did not get the super, but we did just fall into Sea of Simulation. So we're going to have to do clue, disc, and light cycle. So we've got three. This is our third time to SOS tonight. Oh, no.
    81:59
    That sucked. I was not prepared for that. I guess let's go left ramp. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
    82:11
    Oh, yeah! Caviel says, don't be portal without me. Caviel, I would never do that. Alright, now we're kind of lined up. Give me a sec, I gotta move this over.
    82:31
    That actually was maybe the worst portal. Ugh, that was frustrating. Alright, here we go. We just gotta beat all the modes. That's the... That is apparently the way that we're doing this. We're just gonna skip Sea of Simulation.
    82:52
    Wow. I love this song. Let's see here. Let's go right ramp. I meant right scoop. Wow. Kind of thought that was gonna bounce. I feel like that left sling... I need to mess with the switches on that. It is not anywhere near as sensitive as you think it should be. But there goes ball one. It's fine because apparently we don't even use ball one for any good reason.
    84:10
    There we go. Just trying to hit a shot there. Woo! Alright, there goes Flynn Clue Zeus, Light Cycle.
    84:56
    There's a gem. All right, I thought I hit everything on Zeus. Apparently not. I did not know that you could backhand that.
    85:31
    Come on, give me Zeus. There it is. but apparently I was not in that mode. But the table, oh, I think we already re-centered the table. That's a little frustrating. But let's keep it going here.
    85:51
    Eh. Did you know the metal will live on? All right, Quora. And Quora Multiball. Here we go. Not at all where I meant to go with that.
    86:33
    And Quora. There's a gem. Wow. We hit a gem shot. What? There's a gem and an extra ball. Let's see if we can hit the extra ball.
    87:37
    And now let's see if we can get into light cycle. What do we need? It looks like we need just the right orbit.
    88:07
    All right, all right, what do we got here? We need Disc Multiball to get to see a simulation. We do need to finish Clue, Zeus, and Light Cycle. Let's get into Disc, and then we'll bring in Clue, which is already lit. They failed as they were thrown to the left out lane. I like that.
    88:37
    Really, you're going to ball search on me? What is going on right now? Here we go. Come on. There we go. Now we're in disc multiball.
    89:29
    So now we want to hit... the scoop. That's going to start... Blue, I think. I need to hit the E. Alright, we can restart the multiball.
    90:29
    Got it. Did Zeus... No! Zeus apparently was not lit. Grr, man, we still have a lot on the table that needs to be completed again as we're going into Sea of Simulation. I did get, okay, Tron is out of there. I mean, there's something.
    91:03
    All right, here's Sea of Simulation again. At least we don't have to hit Chan. But I feel like Clue is just as hard.
    91:33
    That is such crap again! and we've got an extra ball now we have to complete everything to get back into portal
    92:03
    there's light cycle and I think we have to complete light cycle still? I can't tell if it's lit yes we do
    92:25
    give me that back here's clue that's it ah gross uh hey this is this 10 50 looks like it's a Colorado beer it is I'm pretty sure that's from the same place that does Mama's Little Pill.
    93:10
    I can't think of the name right now. Oh, I got a... That was Ball 2, apparently. Wow. Alright. I guess we worked it.
    93:23
    Give me something good. Really? I don't need a gem. I need clues. Ha. Do you like that? And Sugartown Pinball, thank you very much for that follow, and welcome to the stream.
    93:42
    Let's see here. We need Zeus, Clue, Light Cycle. We need them all again. Grr. Nice. Good color. I like that. Nice good blue.
    94:19
    Here we go. Gotta hit this E. Got the E. You know what? We're just gonna leave it. Right there. Just right there, yeah. Flip stream blue, I like it.
    94:45
    All right, right orbit. Bang a ring. Not an awful game. Just not... Just not Portal. I'm okay with... See a simulation on Ball 2 with an extra ball. Let's keep it going, though.
    95:30
    Oh, shit. Shoot. Oh, I swore. That's five push-ups.
