    • It is a kettle-soured wheat ale brewed with, and this is from the can, obscene amounts of blueberry, raspberry, and strawberry puree. it is, it's a uh I don't have an adjective to describe that, but it's an explosion of flavor with every sip, it's awesome I'm gonna switch this over here so that you guys can see what we're playing tonight, we are playing some Black Knight and I'm a little worried that I used up all of the pinball juice early because I leveled this, I got it set to 6.9 degrees it's dialed in and I went to go put a game on it, and I totally got to the wizard mode, Black Castle. So I really hope that we can get back there, and on top of that, I got to Black Castle never having looked at the directions on what you're supposed to do while you're in there, and it turns out I was one shot away. I have the directions right here on the back glass, but had no idea. And Fruitless Zapple, welcome to the stream. That is one heck of a marmot, I'm guessing, or ferret of some kind. I hope y'all can hear that. Yep, that's hail. And we're in the garage.
    7:30
    What? I don't know what to do with it. My wife was like, should we pull the truck in? I'm like, no, I don't want to open it.
    7:41
    I'm going to turn it down just a hair. Pinball stream is greater than trucks. Yes, fliptronic, it is greater than trucks. I have no idea what to do here.
    8:07
    Good stuff, good stuff. Nothing quite like, oh, go put a blanket on the truck. I feel like that ship has sailed or that truck has driven away at this point.
    8:20
    It'll buff out. It's fine. Still going. This is great. Hold on a sec here. That's for you guys.
    8:32
    But you couldn't hear that. It's all over the... Hail! What is going on? The intro will go with it. Play Hot Firts Teachter. And this is the drumbeat in the background, right?
    8:46
    Yeah, Z-Mac, apparently we're getting some hail up here in Fort Collins. It was pretty windy and cold all of a sudden. It was a gorgeous day out today.
    8:57
    Oh, man. That's an amazing beer. All right. So it's still hailing, it's just not as loud, or maybe I've adjusted to it. It's one of the two. So I guess let's just get this going, we'll play through it. Jedi! Your T&A pitch is 8.0. My guess is it should be closer to 7. But I don't know, maybe it's worth checking Scott Denise's website to see what he recommends. I think I have three fingers. Oh.
    9:46
    So Jess just came out here. You guys want to see what the hail looks like? What the heck is that? Yep. And not that big. That's just a lot of hail. Hold on, wait a second. I hit my hand, and it's okay. Your hand's okay.
    10:03
    So, yeah, there we go. That's what was just hitting the house. Thankfully, we just got a new roof from the last absolutely massive hailstorm that left divots on the roof. We parked the car in the garage, but it still came off. Yeah, exactly. It's just that we could have parked the car in the garage, but unfortunately the garage is full of pinball machines. I mean, you guys get it, right? Hail on a cold tin roof. Seven to seven point five seems to be a good base for most games. Okay. I lost our heads on a bike. Aim better. Oh my god. Steve Ritchie on this game is just amazing. So in this mode, you want to hit one of the green shots and then hit it again. Didn't even chance it there. There we go, so now I have to hit that left orbit again. Cool, cool, cool. Now I'm going to go middle. There's middle. I guess left again. I don't
    11:41
    know why I find those easiest. Let's go left again. Alright. An RIAA sponsored tail storm. an RIAA sponsored Hailstorm. Alright, so we just got an extra ball, we defeated the Hydra,
    11:57
    and I think maybe we're ready to qualify our next mode. Is that what the middle being lit is? Oh my god, that beer is so good! Ooh, light Oh my god, that beer is so good! Ooh, light magnifying!
    12:16
    Yeah! Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. I like it, I like it, there we go, second mode. So is it always like that on this? Oh, we need a Dark Souls table.
    12:38
    How is the Magma Beast defeated? What just happened? I will dance on your grave. Did I hit the... Does anybody have any idea how we just super defeated that Magma Beast?
    12:53
    Your efforts are critical. And then I lost that. Wow. This game would be so much better if it had some kind of mode where the knight gets into an Ipecag for gig concepts That's for the last pizza pie in the fridge.
    13:10
    You hit like six shots to beat him. Okay. That's great. I don't remember any of those shots, apparently. Short-term memory loss, guys. Do not do drugs.
    13:22
    Moving on here. We already have another mode started here. Qualified, I should say. And we went from Brooklyn side to start that. Uh, and the thunder roll. I know, it was very cinematic, right? Here we go, sandworm, sandworm, here we go. Oh, this is ugly. And that'll... ...look like it's only the last of one. That was lit! Vault save was lit for a second. Ah, it's weird. Okay I feel like the game's being a little weird right now Cool, cool, cool, cool Loving it, loving it Alright I think we missed out on that mode
    14:31
    Arrrr. Nope, we didn't. We're still in Sandworm. We're cool. There's the double! Don't tilt! Don't tilt! We're fine! We're fine!
    14:58
    What do we need here? I have no idea what we're supposed to be doing. Okay, we're hitting shots, different shots, it seems.
    15:24
    I'm going to take it. What was that mode? So that was the, not mutt, that was in deep freeze. That wasn't the wicked cat. That was burning sands. Moving three shots lit. Shoot a moving light to lock in place. Shoot again to complete. Six set of shots to blank this. Oh, but it gets weird when you initiate the power piece on it, which is the upgrade. Locks lights on ramp, black knight and shield, which is what we had flashing. Okay.
    15:53
    Do we like the call outs or are they repetitive and irritating? SP Blatt, welcome to the stream. Excellent question. If I had the topper, they would not be irritating even a little bit. But I don't have the topper yet, so it kind of sucks. But if there was an actual black knight looking down on me with an animatronic head that was kind of moving left and right with the callouts, I would absolutely love it, no matter how repetitive it seemed. They're fine. Don't love them, but don't hate them, says ZMack. And, I mean, mode is still running, just got war stacked with it. Okay. And I mean, if that's what the hail sounded like on your roof, imagine how it sounded when you're in a suit of armor. That's interesting. I never thought about what hail and armor sounded like. Come home, come on.
    16:39
    All right, so we need one more shot. Cool. Cool, cool, cool. We'll get there. Oh, that's what we're missing right now. I just realized we are missing music.
    16:57
    Uh-oh. Last person to do something here was Jedi McMuffin. Jedi, what are your initials? You're getting in here as the Molten Fire Champion.
    17:10
    And apparently Wi-Fi is not connected. Let's turn Wi-Fi on. I don't know if we're going to be able to get Wi-Fi while we're out here. It's not looking like it. Oh, but you know what I can do? J-M-C. J-M-C. Hey, we got it. I know we're not in the basement. We're in the garage. Apple Music. Playlists. And what are we doing here? We could get funky. We could do no copyright because that's always fun. Postmodern jukebox. Talking the night away. We could do a work mix. We could do rock. We could do sing along. There we go. That's obviously what we need to be doing right now. Sing along. I'd go no copyright for your account. Flipstream, you are not wrong. That is probably the right way to go. That was set to maximum volume. There we go, there we go.
    18:27
    We'll see if that overpowers... We'll see if that overpowers the storm. No copyright is probably... Yeah. Music industry is being a giant bag of D right now. Dice, I have heard about that. This isn't the real song, this is the Harry Potter version of this song.
    19:12
    Okay, here we go. Up the middle. Qualifier mode start. Alright, alright, we're fine here. I haven't heard this song in a while. This is all ploy for George to get content ID'd by JK Rowling. Yeah, that would be awesome.
    19:41
    Nope. I got greedy. I was trying to lock and start a mode at the same time. Uh, this RIAA has apparently figured out a way to scan Twitch clips and are going after folks with DMCA takedowns. Three strikes and you're out with Twitch, even if all three are logged at the same...
    20:02
    Really? Okay, I read about it, but I didn't... Apparently I just, like, read the article highlight. Yeah, no joke. Alright.
    20:17
    Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. There we go. What do we got for no copyright here? That. Mediocre at best.
    20:37
    Alright, here we go. No copyright. I think you can mass remove bonds. It sounds like they need a hobby. Yes, they absolutely do. Okay, we got ourselves a lock.
    20:58
    That's going to be really loud. Oof. Seems like Twitch has to figure it out or it's game over. How much copyrighted music in gaming? I think there's going to be a lot that's kind of scary, right?
    21:21
    wow just completely missed that shot but that's that is where the alcohol comes in we're going to get there
    21:38
    honestly I'd almost rather listen to the music of a pin at this point. And that's saying something, right? Alright, so green is hit a shot, lock it in, and then do it again. Cool. Alright, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Time to queue up metal tracks, breaking the law. Switch's actual advice to some streamers Just nuke all your clips to be safe.
    22:16
    Wow. Yeah, I'm just thinking how... That sucks. That really... That really sucks. Here we go. Alright, so we've got a lock and a mode start all in one go.
    22:55
    You guys see? Even this one? I know! It's like I've got to go through and download all of my clips because I don't want to lose them. I love some of my clips.
    23:10
    There we go, we got one. Woo! We are already at a double here. I don't want that one. That one sucks.
    23:35
    That was a very late magnet save attempt there. Someone needs to back that clip up. They'll figure it out. Wait, is this just for clips or streams, recordings, and anything else? Apparently, I need to educate myself.
    24:07
    Okay, did we lock it? I think we locked it, and we got a second knife. Good, good, good. Let's go up the middle.
    24:14
    Totally just like that. Oh, now they're moving again. Got, I think it gave me that one. Man. Woo! I swear, we had a really good game when it was all for funsies earlier.
    24:49
    I'm just Magna Saving for the fun of it here. There we go. again. Since Clip, uh, it's active streams, VODs that still exist on Twitch, and all, it's everything. Jeez. Think about a Deadflips channel. Apparently, he was working, uh, all day today on that. DMC again, yeah. Make sure to mute your pins from, I, well, that's kind as scary, I feel like, if you've got a Metallica. What's his toast? Welcome to the stream, and thanks for the color change. That's quite nice in the background. Very soothing. Hope the sound of hail isn't copyrighted, because I clipped that for sure. Thank you. Oh my God, that beer is just amazing.
    25:50
    Alright. There's a shot there. There's another. We're fine. We're all fine here. No reason to overreact. We're going to go ahead and start this mode up.
    26:13
    Nope. Just be patient. There's one. There we go. We got another shot. I don't want the middle one.
    26:43
    They do not make this game easy. up there. I really thought that was going to hit the... I can't trust slings. Just can't trust them. So with what they're charging for the JP topper, I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted a piece of the pie. For Pinball FX 3, there's an option to turn off licensed music for streamers, since the John Williams Star Wars stuff will get you in trouble if you stream with it. Good to know. Good to know. One possible solution would be for Twitch to negotiate some kind of royalty based on the number of subscribers. From what I understand, blanket music licenses are surprisingly cheap. Yeah, my friend Janelle just investigated that, and I think it was something like $400 or $500 for a year of pretty much a blanket. when you're talking about a platform for the size of Twitch, it would probably only work out to be a few cents a sub anyways. There's the solution. Amazon will just buy the music. Yes, Amazon will own all the music. That seems like a really good solution. Cool.
    28:36
    I will take that extra ball. Honestly, I'll take anything right now. Uh, it didn't give me that. I think that gave me the win. And yeah, Burning Sands is done. It only took three balls to get there though, so, you know, we have that going for us. No idea what that was.
    29:22
    Aramazon? Alright, here we go. We got spotted a Knight Letter. I'm fine with that. We also got a Ball Lock and we're going
    29:35
    to start Magma. We're on Ball 2. I love that. None shall pass. Why does it light the balls day? This should never light balls day. Sorry, the phrase extra ball is copyrighted. You are now banned.
    30:12
    Yeah, I'm thinking I might have to put the music on for the pin now, and how awful is that? All right, that's number two. Here we go, right orbit. Right orbit. That was the worst post transfer. There it is.
    30:57
    Okay, so now we need to light a ball lock just like that. Here we go, we've got our ball lock lit. Let's start... Oh my gosh. Let's try that again. There's that. On the fly, right into a third ball lock and a mode start, so we're going into a multiball. That'll get you in trouble with data. The clear solution is just to play Girl Talk albums. That's the limited to 30 seconds music, right?
    31:55
    Oh, I've got an Adepol over there. Shoulder! That was stupid. No, alright, catching back up. Just play the sound effects from
    32:39
    American Girl pin over Olivia Gaines. Tri-ball, nah, I'm sure Sega has that one. Oh, and Jurassic Park. 30, I thought it was 5 seconds, oh I thought the limit was 30 seconds. We'll just Start listening to talk radio. No, that one will almost definitely get you in trouble.
    33:23
    You get in trouble for political content now. Yeah. Kind of... Yeah, honestly, I'm getting rid of the music. This music is not... It's not doing it for me, and I don't want to get in trouble. So we're going to put the music back on from the pin, you guys. Give me a sec here.
    33:50
    Is this feature adjustments? Or is it average adjustments? Hold on. Music attenuation. There we go. You won't get in trouble. No, what's his toast? They're saying the opposite. That you can get banned from Twitch.
    34:16
    And I don't want to get banned from Twitch. I happen to enjoy my weeknights. You should just sing your own songs and copyright it yourself. I kind of like that. What about podcasts? Right. Play to a podcast in the background. That's kind of interesting. I might just have to become a professional EDM person, I guess, at this point. Ooh, you know what I should do?
    34:41
    You're going to get in trouble for playing other people's records, I guess, at that point. I got nothing. If we get banned from Twitch, we'll just stream from only fans. Yeah, we can do it from Discord now, apparently.
    34:58
    Maybe a little bit louder. Just go to Mixer. I feel like Mixer's not going to be that far behind. Alright, here we go. This music is just so intense! Uh, Lobster sticks to Magnet, got their la- uh, their Translate that is awesome, I'm glad to hear that. And that was from our 800 follower giveaway. So we are fast approaching 900. I think we're at like 860 something now. And I have more trans lights. Wow, that is just... We're going to give that a sec. I'll nudge it once it does a ball kick. Oh no! Okay. Save the beer.
    36:21
    Yeah, the South Park one. Awesome! That's great! Soundtrack to BK's Story is awesome. I have never made that cleanly without hitting the lock. I'm very proud of myself here.
    36:41
    Hey, thank you very much for that host and welcome to the stream! There we go, we got the lock. Now for Snatch Shot. Hey, thank you, thank you. What do you think of the pin, though? How is the pin looking?
    37:04
    Hot. You know what I just realized? The white up top is the reflection from the directions. There we go, we no longer have that reflection. It was the paper which has the directions on how to play the game. We'll just put that here. Oh! Oh, wait a second. I think I owe somebody a pull-up from earlier. Yep, that was DMACC. I owe a pull-up. And Faye, you know what? We're already on ball three at two million. Just pause for a sec here. Come on. Faye, I want you to know that you're appreciated, that the things you do have meaning that you're an amazing streamer, you're a very good-looking person, you're married to yet another wonderful person, and you have good tech, you have a good vibe, and you can throw down some amazing lyrics at the spot of a dime. I tried to turn that into a rhyme, but apparently it just wasn't my time. So there's your personalized compliment.
    38:20
    Switches back over. I demand, Z-Mac demands pull-up. I will be right back. Pull-up is back there. Can you guys, yeah, you guys can see it. All right, one pull-up. Coming up.
    38:39
    There we go. One pull-up done. The rhyme at the end. It wasn't intentional. It just started happening, and then I couldn't stop it. No matter what I did, I continued rhyming. I have no idea what happened there. So the way I read it, you can play copyrighted music, you just have to delete the VOD. ZMAC, you got your pull-up.
    39:02
    And that's interesting. If that's the case, I'm okay with it. I'm going to automatically submit my VOD to YouTube, and then I'll get rid of it on Twitch.
    39:14
    I want to back up What's-His-Toes. Can we get at least one other person to confirm that I'm not going to get banned on Twitch if I get rid of all my VODs immediately and move them over to YouTube?

    ZMack just redeemed a personalized compliment. All right. ZMack, I have played pinball with you, I think, at least twice, if not three times. you also came over and set the GC on my X-Men at Rocky Mountain Pinball Showdown you're an amazing player I think you would definitely be ranked in the top 20 or 30 if you were focused I would argue overly focused on pinball there's no question in my mind no joke, one of the best pinball players I have ever met And on top of that, just a really cool person.
    40:12
    You are in Colorado, which I feel like is the greatest state that you could possibly live in and especially grow up in, where the outdoors are right here.
    40:25
    And, yeah, that's the best I can come up with on short notice. But I meant every word of that. So, ZMAC, there's your personalized compliment. Okay. apparently the personalized comments uh are are inexpensive uh hold on here hold on they you started something so uh it's still against which rules uh see the community guidelines says flip stream hold on a sec here uh the way i read it you can play copyrighted music when i stream for two hours i do the first hour with the pin sound and then the last hour with music, so this is so I can upload the first half to YouTube and kill the VOD. Interesting. Okay. Wind Raider, who I, to the best of my knowledge, don't know. Your personalized compliment. You have definitely been on the stream. You're interested in pinball. You have chatted, and it's been amazing. I want to say that you are beautiful, and the things you do, have absolute meaning in life, that your friends, I imagine, enjoy your company. You probably have an amazing smile. And the one thing that people who know you very likely talk about often would be your hair. Apparently, you take very good care of your hair. It is luscious. And that is exactly, it's just one of the features, Wind Raider, that apparently is just something that people really like. So there's Wind Raider. I'm doing what I can here. Flipstream also redeemed a personalized compliment.
    42:24
    Thank you, Wind Raider. How many points for a personalized roast? Dice, I don't feel comfortable doing that.
    42:33
    Let's see here. So, Flipstream. Flipstream has not done a full stream yet, but here's the deal. Here's the deal. Not only is he tech savvy, and not only is he obviously good at pinball and cares and has been such a huge part of the community, but I have no doubt that because of his participation within the community, his first solo streams are going to go off well. He's going to have a great audience, and he's going to build that audience over time because he's an enjoyable person to talk to. Some might say that that's a weird flex, but okay. Regardless, he is a beautiful person and one that you should give a follow to If you have not done so already, Flipstream, I think, is about to have his first solo stream here in the near future. And I'm personally looking forward to it.
    43:33
    There we go. Caviel just subscribed to Tier 3. And that is for six months, currently on a six-month streak. Caviel, another ambassador of Quan. Thank you so much. and yeah, apparently the personalized compliment, Caviel also wants a personalized compliment. All right, we're going to play a game and then I'm going to come back and think of something that isn't quite, it's not the same as Flipstream. And for those of you who don't know, I would argue that Caviel and Flipstream are the same person. Do I get one of your pins for a million points? ZMAC, no, no. But if you ever find yourself in Fort Collins And it is late at night And you want to come hang out and stream You are absolutely welcome to Let's see here Let's see him pull this off Other than ditto Let's stream That is nice and loud So we're going to do We're going to do a quick game And then we're going to come back Worth a shot, okay
    44:45
    Alright. Seriously, how often do I hit that perfectly ever? Never. Here we go. What was that? Alright, so that doesn't count apparently. That sucks, I was really trying to get around having to hit the middle. Alright, there we go. Qualified! Woo! Let's hit that lock target. There we go, now we can lock and start a mode. Boom. And take a sip. All of a sudden, George hears a knock on the garage door, and it's not Hale. I'm not in his house already. Oh, my doll is ringing.
    46:09
    Oh, super, it's glitched. Okay. I will throw no mercy. All right. I'll take it. I mean, we're doing shots. Three shots left. Let's just keep doing that over
    46:39
    again. Two shots left. There's one. I actually moved the target onto it. That was great right there.
    46:56
    Alright, left. You know what? Nope, we're going right there. Finishing shot and a mystery. All in one go. You know what's better than a personalized compliment? That can't win. I can't watch.
    47:15
    Oh, wow, I got an extra ball on him. No, no, somehow that was already lit. I feel like I'm in a Spanish soap opera.
    47:32
    All right, here we go. Let's see here She don't spoil the surprise And C-Mac has been Jeff this whole time Oh, what a twist What a twist I'm really surprised he doesn't say surprise mofo.
    48:24
    Alright, so we got one of them. That's going to lock two shots. Alright, here we go. Nice and easy. Let's just be patient. We're just going to be patient here. Wait for it to go middle. and totally, totally brick it. Brickasaurus Rex, that is my nickname. Apparently that
    49:06
    locked a shot. Somehow hit that one shot left. Oh crap, and we just started a multivolve. Somehow hit that one shot left! Oh crap, and we just started a multivolve. Whatever. I'm probably good.
    49:35
    Alright. That sucks, whatever. Woo, alright, alright. We got an addable on the left orbit, let's go for that. Let's go for that.
    50:11
    My sword will be with you. But not for my pain. That hurts. I'll take you down. Grrr. Okay. I'll leave a person.
    50:35
    I will tread you. Eh, whatevs, I do what I want. I'm just gonna take a sec. Uhhhh, at least you have steady work. I love this essential job. Stern is family friendly, global lifestyle brand. They can't be saying mofo. You're probably right. Uh, sir, wait, weren't there F-bombs in Metallica? Oh yeah, definitely.
    51:15
    We don't talk about the Dark Days. Get out. Garsh. Darn it. Alright, there goes ball one. We're going to make some progress on ball two. Ball 2 is where it's at.
    51:55
    Ball 2 is totally where it's at. Definitely where it's at. No question. Give me that ball! I want it! Here we go! Okay. Yeah! Spot war lanes, we're going to start up magma beef. We can go over here now! Fire! Magma! Seven shot! Ten shot! Eight shots to complete. I'm feeling so eerie, but I'm a stoner. Was that not what that was? Apparently that's not.
    52:56
    I thought ball two was where it was. Apparently not. This music is getting to me. I don't like it. Flipper Snapper has also redeemed a personalized compliment. Flipper Snapper! Alright, so we gotta do two. We gotta do Caviel and Flipper Snapper.
    53:31
    Oh, we're already in this mode. Yes! Back to save! Hey! Bar 1 locked. Greg! Welcome to the stream! Shut up and leave those dust leaves, you rabbit! Play now. I needed to nudge slash move the whole machine there. That wasn't happening. All right.
    54:19
    Tracy, hi, y'all. How are you? Is it just me, or does the Black Knight sound like Satan from South Park? Absolutely, guys. And question for Don'tPanicClip and chat. What's the best coded modern Stern game? For me, it will always be The Walking Dead.
    54:35
    Excellent question. and Scythe would like a personalized compliment as well. Okay, okay, so we've got three personalized compliments. Note to self, let's increase the cost of personalized compliments on the next stream.
    54:54
    Cool, we're going to remember that one. Okay, cool. first question the best coded modern game I might actually agree and say it's The Walking Dead but I haven't played enough on it but that game has intrigued me that's why I want one in-house George doesn't like being nice it takes a lot out of him the other it takes a lot out of me so this is for realsies here for a second if I have to go into a room with a lot of people that I don't know very well, like they aren't people I've known for decades, that will physically exhaust me to the point where when I come out, I have to go to sleep. That or I guess any time I have to describe or deal with personal issues, those also I feel are very draining. So beyond that, compliments, I just want to make sure I nail the compliments appropriately. Let's do these in order. Caviel, you are an amazing person. I'm positive of that. Your dishwater...
    56:09
    I'm going to put the heart on you. Your kind of like dirty, blonde, almost brown, but not quite hair is obviously a big attractor. Your eyes, I've heard people say that talking to you is often like looking in, crossing and connecting with someone who can look into your very soul. Apparently, you also have very good taste in shoes.
    56:39
    I'm fairly sure that is the case. And I think you're a good kisser. That's also very likely as well. So, Caviel, that is your personalized compliment.
    56:55
    The first one I feel like was much better, but apparently I can't do ditto. So, really reaching for that second one.
    57:02
    Flippersnapper, an amazing streamer, doing it initially with a phone and blowing things up on Metallica. By the way, started out very happy to get to the first of the four mini-wizard modes you get in order to get to end of the line. And after only, I think, about three months streaming, maybe four months, has already set the GC on her Metallica at, I think, just shy of 500 million, and has almost made it to the end of the line at least once, if not multiple times. So in terms of streaming, if you guys have not checked out Flipper Snapper, you need to do so. Very cool person. Definitely a part of the community. Manages bells and chimes out of, I think, Austin, Texas. And also is an excellent writer and thinks about other people very well. And I can tell you that because of this wonderful card that I got that is very winter focused and I received it on a very hot, nearly balmy, uh, 95 degree day in Colorado, which is weird because it's very dry out here. Uh, but I would have described it as balmy that day and it brought a moment of cool and happy feelings as I read it. So flipper snapper is a wonderful person in general. Enjoy your personalized compliment.
    58:31
    Um, let's see here. Lesson learned. Maybe. uh let's see here and last one dice i don't even know where to start with dice uh the what's the there's a the the renaissance man of our age is is interested in their current job is out there figuring out how to become a uh how to get into software at the same time designing pinball machines, is into some of the coolest things that I find culturally relevant and awesome, has an amazing sense of humor, has no problem being a kid and an adult at the same time, has been a member of this chat and community for, has got to be going on close to two years at this point, and is still a pleasure to chat with on several times a week. I don't even enjoy talking to my family that much.
    59:33
    And Dice is someone who, it's just one of those, here, I'm going to give you an example. Have you ever looked down at your phone and you're like, God, I can't handle, oh, it's that phone number, it's that person, it's that person who you know is going to be an enjoyable five to ten minute phone call. That's Dice. So Dice, that is your personalized compliment for 2,000 points, and I hope you appreciate that.
    60:01
    Um, let's see here. Apparently I need to cap. You know what? I'm going to keep the compliments at 2000, but I need to cap it just because I don't have that many adjectives in my vocab to pull back and create something that feels unique and custom for everybody. If we could space that out a day, the repetitiveness won't feel that way, even though it might be there. So, well, it started in 1994. Think third, but still not 100% sure. I kind of feel George needs to be dressed in leather while bowing down to me.
    60:37
    I hate this compliment thing. I will say this for every compliment redeemed tonight. Also, it's pronounced dice. Yes. This is a weird thing. I'm not crying. You're crying. Pandemic went well, except for the 45 mile per hour. Lord Howard Hurts, if you're just joining, we got hit with a hailstorm. Jess went outside, grabbed a bunch of the hail and brought it in so I could show everybody because we couldn't do anything. It was so loud. It was, yeah, it was definitely the, it was, it was an apocalypse in here. Molly Hatchet, welcome to the stream and good evening. So what are the flexes? Apologize if you explained earlier, oh, so here's what happened. And, and I'm sorry, we're not playing, we're going to play more pinball and I really hope. So just before the stream, I'm going to step back from my step back while I was like talking about the past. I feel like we're inside of a dream, inside of a dream, inside of a dream, and we're going to work our way back, but it's going to take six years. So before the stream started, I, I leveled the game and I pitched it For whatever reason, my garage has a real high pitch in the back where I set the pinball machines, which is very different from over here. So over here, everything's at like six, but when I put it over here, it's at 7.5. And for whatever reason, I think somebody struggled playing Sword of Rage behind me, so they went through and lowered it. So when I put it over here, it was only at six and a half degrees. and I got that up to 7 degrees, 6.95 or something like that right now, and then leveled it out this way, and I went to go put a game on it, and I ended up getting to Black Castle, which was the first time I had been there, and it was very frustrating because I wanted to do that on stream. I did put a little video. Like, I almost drained because I just wanted a quick video showing that I had got to Black Castle, and there was the intro screen. but no matter, it doesn't matter if it's not on stream so that was like the third level we're going to walk our way back up here hold on, I'm going to check up a chat Pez Johnson just raided with a party of four Pez, you were amazing, thank you so much for the raid how was your stream, did you have fun I think you said that this was EM Monday so tonight was all about the EMs I hope it was enjoyable also I noticed, because I think you may have streamed earlier today even, and I think you were eating Pez as Pez Johnson on the Pez Johnson stream, which I also thought was cool. I love Pez, one of my favorite candies. So we did an outdoor social distancing tournament in Castle Rock. We had canopies over the machine. We literally had rope rigging set up to hold them down. We looked like sailors battening down the hatches. That sounds amazing and awful. Thank God I did not join you and bring a pinball machine. I would have been, I think a little bit upset. It's pretty late, but George seems energetic. He must have had a very relaxing weekend. Flipper snapper, I hit my second wind just after dinner. I don't know what it was, but my wife also commented on the fact that I was peppy because she had been dealing with a six-year-old who was just trying her hardest all day today to make my wife life absolutely miserable but I got off of work and was just happy to be done with it I had a couple of good meetings today where I felt like we really accomplished things My side work just picked back up, which is really good. So it was a busy but fruitful afternoon. And after having dinner, what was dinner tonight?
    64:19
    It was, oh my God, it was BLTs with Ava Kairi. I absolutely love that combination. And we just finished up watching the fifth season of She-Ra with my daughter, and She-Ra was absolutely amazing. Might literally take the top spot for shows that my daughter loves, that my wife and I got addicted to, over the top spot of My Little Pony. I love My Little Pony because the writers are amazing, But She-Ra had a crazy storyline worthy of Ender's Game or something along those lines in science fiction, like Ringworld by Larry Niven. It had that level of depth. And by the fifth season, my daughter was kind of shrugging and asking a lot of questions. But my wife and I were like, oh, my God, this is amazing. And it also got kind of evil. it got a little bit dark, but still maintained appropriate in my eyes for like a six to seven, maybe eight year old. We'll say that she probably should have been a little bit older. Okay, cool. Wordly, I prefer talking with Don't Panic Flip than watching you play.
    65:26
    ZMAC, that's because you're an amazing player and I offer you nothing if I am playing. That's because you want water leaks flowing away from your house. Speaking of level, my TNA is now level and at 6.6 just killed two reactors. Jedi, that should slow the game down just a little bit. A perception? Wow, free compliment. Didn't even cost points. Ark Mecha, welcome to the stream.
    65:50
    And Rolling Wonder loves MLP. It's so great. The writers, any show, and I'm sorry, I feel like I was supposed to go on and answer other questions earlier because we were going to step it back and then bring it forward, but I completely lost my train of thought. So remind me if I'm completely forgetting it. But there are some writers in shows for kids who realize the parents are going to be forced to watch it. So they stick in all kinds of fun things, little Easter eggs for the adults who will really appreciate it. But MLP took it to the next level. And every episode was not only named as like a pun that referenced some sort of culturally significant thing, but the shows were written as a loose reference to all kinds of stuff. And I'm not joking. There was one episode that involved a bugbear from Dungeons and Dragons where the team fought him. At the same time, there was a Mr. and Mrs. Smith-style issue going on between two ponies while Doctor Who ended up meeting up with all three of the main characters from The Big Lebowski. And this was just one episode. And while all of that is happening, there's a character who is basically like Deadmau5 and Skrillex put together, along with Lindsey Stirling, who are playing music in between all of these other stories. And this is, once again, just one episode to give you an idea of what the writers were doing to try and entertain adults, knowing the adults were going to be forced to watch it along with their kids. So, I'm done talking about those now. Tonight's stream is sponsored by Tangential Conversation. Yes, organic tangential conversation. OTC for short. Let's get back into some pinball here. Less talking, more chalking. Ooh, Raka Raka's Modern Life. I love Raka's Modern Life. I wish I could say that George saw all of this while on acid, but that was a real episode.
    67:46
    The real episode. Okay. Let's do this. Let's play some pinball. Do I owe anybody anything? No, We have gotten through all of the personalized compliments.
    67:59
    And that was a little weird. I can't remember whose stream we were on. Oh, we were on MPT3K's. And he wanted to know what people recommended for things on points. And I came up with personalized compliments, and I'm like, go ahead and do it, but I'm also doing this.
    68:21
    Because I thought it sounded really cool. Like, who doesn't, in the middle of a pandemic, need a compliment? And I hope, and I guess I'm meaning them heartfelt as much as I can. I could use a beer? Yes, I have to go through that list now. Yes, you do, mbt3k. I'm working on my second compliment. Can't wait.
    68:51
    DMACC, I suggest you wait. until you come over and hang out on stream. And then the next compliment can have a little bit more something to it.
    69:07
    Oh my god, this is being brutal now. That's fine, that's fine. It's ball one. Nobody cares about ball one.
    69:23
    There we go. Two shots left. Oh, no! I did not mean to start a multiball. Oh, no. Yeah! I can clean your face.
    69:59
    You must be ready. When did the actual fighting start? Hellhand, it was Hellhand defeated? We have won the game. Yes, Hellhand was defeated. We're at 43 million.
    70:21
    And we got ourselves an... I'm just the impatient at this point. Remember, flatter the customer. Make them feel... Oh, flatter the customer. Make them feel good. Got it. Knock, knock, knock. I love you.
    70:36
    I like that. What do we need here? So we've got a jackpot on the left orbit. Yep, that's the alcohol helping out with my reflexes.
    70:54
    Is it going to give it to it? No. This is worth a shot though. On the fly. Alright, so this is hit a shot, then hit it again.
    71:42
    That is not good. I have a magnet save. I don't know why I'm not hitting it. Alcohol, helping your reflexes. That seems legit. No flaws there.
    71:58
    Pez Johnson, absolutely. Well, in that case, I guess it's worth something this time. Hold on. Did I miss something?
    72:04
    Gone. Here's one for you. Your pandemic haircut is a thing of beauty. When I get to see you yesterday, it's sort of it.
    72:12
    What is a t-shirt? Oh, that's right. I was going to describe what a flex is. I'll get back to that. Don't let me forget. Because somebody asked, what's up with the flexing?
    72:42
    I don't know. Alright, so we got a green shot there. Let's hit that shot again. Got it.
    73:14
    What do we need now? That shot? I will take victorious. I'll also take that lock shot. and a sip of beer.
    74:00
    That's not good. Wow, that is just jammed up there. I'm not going to hit it. I need all of my dangers in this game.
    74:18
    That is not very well thought out, Ball Surge. You want to spin this way, not that way. There we go.
    74:38
    Alright, there goes blue. And a five million point... I hate how the mystery doesn't give you things. You are worthless.
    74:53
    Alright, there's a blue shot. There's another blue shot. There's another blue shot! One shot left! I'll take it, I'll take it! We're fine, we're fine here. Uh, you get an actual t-shirt, right, that's what the pla- oh wow, I apparently had stopped scrolling or something. So much red on the playfield, that is a little, I mean, there is a lot of red on the playfield, I feel like it's not that bad though. Uh, and a dangerous, I know, that's from my left shoulder too, I'm really I mean, it's not supposed to do that. Hello.
    76:04
    I have some more for you right here. Woo! Come home together, maggot. Go on, ladies. There we go, yellow, burning sand. Burning Sands, what do we gotta do? No no no!
    76:39
    Oh, this is the moving shot! I still have my Magnus Dave, but that was ball two. We got... We can work with this. We can definitely work with this.
    77:10
    Advanced bonus acts! Do you slide the game with your left hand or your right? It's weird. Normally I go right, but in that instance I went left. I just remembered what the two questions were. The first one was, what is up with the flexes? And that means that for points, you can flex how much you watch the stream or are a part of the community. And that goes back to the phrase that Flipstream used, where somebody said something and Flipstream said, weird flex, but okay. So you can both spend points which you gain from watching the stream, those are the tomfoolery points, and I have a bunch of shirts left over from TPF that Silverball Swag was going to set up a booth and asked if I was interested in selling a bunch of DPF shirts. I have some merch over there. So we have a bunch of those left over at varying sizes and t-shirt types and colors and all that jazz. So for the meantime, if you want, you can basically get a shirt and I can send it out to you for fairly inexpensive and you can flex that way. The other way to flex would also be to get a sticker pack. And those are also relatively simple to send out.
    78:53
    Panic Slide. Stir Fried Crazy. Both welcome to the stream. And yes, that's exactly what that is. Is it Panic Slide? Where was the shimmy to get it out of that outland? I know! I feel, I felt... So I hit the buttons on the stream deck. Don't do that.
    79:16
    But what I can do, you guys, I can... Cookie Clicker Legend, welcome to the stream. How many points for a bicep flex? It is, I think, I don't remember how many right now, but you can make me go do a pull-up behind us. How about that? That is 900 points for a pull-up.
    79:39
    And let's see here. Flipstream, know your meme. Memes, weird flex, but okay. Click on that link if you want to understand where that comes from. All right. SurfRideCrazy just redeemed a pull-up. Let's go do that really quick.
    80:02
    There we go. One pull-up. And, okay, what else is happening? We have tomorrow, I have a bunch of mods in for Star Trek, so many mods. And they're not even all here. Cookie Cutter Legend just redeemed a pull-up as well. That's good. I'll do that.
    80:31
    Probably need to... Well, that's not good. It's raining a lot outside, and the first drip just hit after a massive hailstorm. It's fine. Nice, I'm actually near that t-shirt threshold reward for not making you do push-ups and shots. LOL. Molly, yeah, Molly Hatchet, at the beginning of the stream, we got hit hard by bubblegum-sized hail for a good maybe 10 minutes. and we just had our roof replaced from the last big hailstorm, apparently we're going to maybe have to redo it all over again. Fun times. Good times. Good times. And T-Rex Pinball.
    81:17
    There's a part of me that offered this up as a way to help people figure out what to do with large numbers of points after I hurt my shoulder and couldn't give me push-ups anymore. so yeah the t-shirt thing is definitely helping out there as well because some people have a ton of points and when Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle releases I think we're going to try and do another drinking stream and I don't want people to have 20 or 30,000 points I don't know if you guys were here for the last one all drinking streams get deleted as soon as the stream ends we delete all evidence the clips everything short of I double-checked a couple just so that way we can prove that we did have a stream that night. But I don't want anybody who's here to be worried about any evidence being used against them 20 years from now when they run for governor or something like that. So we get rid of all the evidence, and we had 80 shots of pineapple upside-down cake, which was amazing. We drank it all. There was seven of us. Two people were not drinking. I personally had close to 30 shots that night, and it was ridiculous. I was sick the whole next day and did not feel good. I took the day off on Monday, if I remember correctly. So, easy, you saved the bulk of them for the drinking stream. Are you getting TMNT Z-Mac? I already ordered it. I ordered it with Flippin' Out Pinball. That is Zach over at Flippin' Out. On top of that, I had been hitting him up for the three weeks beforehand, asking if I could just go ahead with the knowledge that it was very likely TMNT, if I could just put my order in sooner to somehow get the pinball machine quicker. And I have no idea when I'm going to get it, but I am apparently, hopefully, getting one of Zach's earlier TMNT games. I'm psyched. I was a huge watcher of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a kid. I got into it with the movies. I went to the theaters to go see both of the awful Michael Bay movies. I just love the Turtles. So, yes, getting a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, setting up all kinds of fun things for that stream. I am so psyched to have that in-house and to play it because I'm such a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles geek at heart. I don't know if I can say Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles anymore. So I'm going to have so many more points this time. Right, when you started answering the two questions, the stream stopped with your Air 2000. By the time I got it reloaded, you had already finished answering them. Please don't die putting shots on the board. That was such a funny clip. Holy S, a little extreme. What happened?
    84:00
    How much was a shot? Oh, so it was interesting. It was a little bit of a game where you could spin the wheel, and it would land on somebody, and they would have to take a shot, right? And everybody's triangles in the wheel were equal unless you wanted to make somebody's triangle temporarily bigger. And you could do that for, you could maximize somebody's wheel percentage, I think, for 500 points. And then for 1,000 points, you could order a shot. So for 1,500 points, you could essentially guarantee that I get a shot. And people, because we had been talking about it a month beforehand, people were saving up and had 15,000 to 20,000 points. and there was a lot of shots that day. And then if you ran out of points, you could buy shots for bits. That was the other way to do that as well. So yeah, ZMAC. Chat is the one who ultimately could get somebody really, really drunk so they got worse at playing pinball, if that makes sense.
    85:05
    Pinball Wiz, thank you very much for that host and welcome to the stream. I know Pinball Wiz was streaming was it Demon Crawl earlier today? If it wasn't today, it was Yes Sir... I don't actually know. I'm always on my computer. And I feel like today's Monday, but I'm not sure. When did you call the wheel modifiers? We had to call it something specific so it's not considered gambling. Yeah, we had special words for it on.
    85:32
    Pure Retro Colorado. Hello, Mr. Fancy Pants. Coming in hot with a party of six. That is Alex and Dave, you guys. Yep. You're amazing. You're the best. Thank you. Welcome to the stream. Tonight we are 50-50. We're talking and we're chatting.
    85:53
    I was just going over Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and how psyched we are for that, talking about a drinking stream upcoming and then the new point system, the new point rewards we have, including some of the cool flexes, which would be the shirts and the stickers. and the other thing is this Thursday we have, what do we have going on? Oh, this Thursday is another dual stream. So this is going to be myself, Jedi McMuffin, and Uncle Toybox on Total Nuclear Annihilation with Fliptronic, I think, and Pansomniac Commentative. So right now we have, ooh, we have a rave going on in the background.
    86:33
    And the Wheel of Morality, turn, turn, turn. And so that's what's going on Thursday. At the same time, guys, I want you to enjoy a quick break. I have another 30 minutes before, 40 minutes before Comcast kills my internet. So I'm going to go grab another beer because Berries on Berries on Berries from Wildworks is the most amazing experience ever in a beer can. I will be right back, you guys. Hold on a second.
    87:07
    Open your eyes, what can you see around? Winds of the open sky, over the stars down Faces as dream, getting the royal scar Holding the diamond blade, throwing it far Holding you through, still You turn the furtile Just stand and wait, still You got it, I'm trying to tell me You got the wrong guy Got the wrong guy Don't try to tell me you got the wrong guy
    88:27
    Okay. You guys, let's play some pinball. Let's do the thing. Eat the stuff. Where's your bling crap? I don't remember it anymore, but I'm going to have to remember it for Thursday when we get in the duel because that is the most amazing countdown. All right. The drips from the roof. Seriously, a whole new roof we're going to have to do over again because a little bit of a hailstorm and suddenly I'm getting rained on my left shoulder now. Here's your bling. You need to add that as a command. I have an MP3 of it exactly. Jedi McMuffin. You're right. I need it. There's no question. My brother just dropped off his latest batch of beer. It's a Mounds beer. OMG, it tastes like happy.
    89:15
    Dice. I get that. Here you guys go. Ready? Woo! God, I love this beer. This beer, you talk about your mounds being happy.
    89:28
    That's going to get clipped. This right here is Berries on Berries on Berries. It is a kettle-soured wheat ale brewed with, and this is from the can, obscene amounts of blueberry, raspberry, and strawberry puree. It is 5.2%, and every sip of this is absolutely amazing. Let's see here. Are there incantations associated with disconnection? I don't think so. Wait, have you guys been disconnected?
    90:05
    It didn't taste like berries. Everything's good, right? We didn't get disconnected? We're all good? F in chat? I didn't see any explanation point problems or anything like that. So I think we're okay.
    90:24
    You know what I could do, though? I could turn the mic back up on that. No, but there's probably some four-letter words for George. Met you getting disconnected in a while. Oh, right, yeah. We should be... We're fine, okay. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?
    90:41
    Don't panic, Flip is about to get a ban for inappropriate content. We're all fine here. Alright guys, let's do a game and let's actually... Let's, uh, as... I can't think of what his name is. Let's go try it out.
    91:02
    Here we go. Okay, right into the green thingy, which means you gotta hit one green shot and then hit it again. You have to do that four times to slice four heads off of the Hydra. There's one. Follow up, totally got it. Two! Alright, now we're going left. Let's do that again. Left orbit for the win. Beautiful. Now we're We're going to try and capture this.
    91:47
    We're going to magnet save that right there. There we go. Oh man! Oh my god, just give me the ball here. Woo! Okay. Woo! Okay, we got a lock, a mystery, and an extra ball all in one go. Volume is on. We
    92:42
    are in the right speed. I know, there was a lot of brick shots there, Flip Speed. This was the first tables I ever... Oh, crap, hold on. I ever got to a whole special place in my heart. Arrow, SSBU. This is, if this was your introduction to pinball, I am so sorry. This is a brutal table. And the red thingy is headed towards the green thingy. I think, I think we're the green thingy. Get off the speaker, guy! Uh, how many have you gotten since this one. Oh, my bad, older one, okay. Wow. This beer is getting the, uh, the glee glands going right now. Woo! Here we go! The red mode! It's the hand. What do you have I'm gonna hit you in the hand, crap!
    93:58
    Alright, alright game, we don't want to lose control here. Here we go, we got another lock.
    94:31
    Uh, ZMAC, is this my game or a trade? This is my game. It was a permanent trade, let's put it that way. I wish I could save up my WC-94 Magna-Saves and use them on this thing.
    94:45
    Yeah, I need to get so much better about actually using the Magna-Save on this. It's in such an awkward position.
    94:55
    At least that's what I'm going to blame it on. Double! There's a double! We're fine here! We're all fine! Did I not start that mode? Oh, I'm still in a mode. We just lit Ball Save over on the left. Fine. How are you? I will bounce on your blade. Pourquoi c'est et? Super! It's lit! You told me to believe in colors. You told me to dislike colors. I do not believe in colors yet... You told me to take a good bite...
    95:52
    I will not put money for a new fire Thank you So we got the add 4, 3, 2, 1. Alright. That. Alright, so we got war. I'm fine with that.
    97:13
    Alright, let's go with that mystery over there. That's good. Apparently that mystery is not in Addable.
    97:35
    There we go. Alright, one more shot up the middle. Here we go. Alright, so we just started yellow. How are you? I will dance on your grave. That's really not good. I have the magnus, hit the magnus thing! Ugh, alright.
    98:20
    It's raining. Let's see here. That was such great timing. I'm too distracted by the flipper skills on this place and this multipole. I was disconnected when you answered the question about what the t-shirt... Oh! That's what it was. Yeah, man, if you've got the points, send the points and I will send you a t-shirt. You just let me know the size and the style. I'm getting rained on a lot right now. That sucks. I'm going to keep looking up, like, looking up is going to help. Like, I know how to fix the roof.
    98:53
    Four sticker packs, one or the other. That sucks. You're so cute. I don't want to hit that shot. I don't know if you guys can see this. It's ridiculous. Go away.
    100:05
    That seal's your victory. Now, if I'm the only challenger... CRY! Here we go, here we go. Ah! George, I'm sure Phil Swift would sell you some flex tape or flex seal. I mean, he sawed a boat in half. I don't know who that is. I'm getting rained on a lot. How much water is up there? Thank God it's not on the pins.
    100:47
    I hear if you flex tape a slap shot to a ShamWow and sprinkle it with OxyClean, you'll be visited by the ghost of Billy Mays.
    100:56
    I'm so happy I was able to say that without stopping. Like trying to play at a tournament and every now and then someone spills a little of their drink on you, that's really irritating. The other thing that bothers me at a tournament, or even on location when you're playing and you accidentally touch hands with the person next to you with like a little slap save and you make contact and you're like, I feel violated. There's, hold on, there's a little bit of water I think that splashed from my face here on the glass. And Pinball Princess Jillian, welcome to the stream. People trash on this game, but I like it. The pro I think is way better than the premium, in my opinion. The Pro is more brutal. It's way faster. I feel like the upper playfield... I just don't like the upper playfield in this game, especially when it was such a huge part of Black Knight 2000, and there was the nudging aspect to get it to land in the appropriate war targets, and you just don't have any of that in the upper playfield. So I didn't like this game at all until I played the pro at the Pinmasters in downtown Denver this last year, which also could have been called, instead of Pinmasters, the COVID-19 get-together of pinball people, since apparently several confirmed cases of COVID-19 at that place. And that was Yakuza Ronin. Welcome to the stream, and thank you very much for that follow. getting us one closer to our 900-follower goal and our next Translate giveaway, which is interesting because we're also approaching our 300th stream. So if we could combo those two up, meaning we get, I think it's like another 35 followers in the next seven streams, I think we've got to do two Translate giveaways or something. Pro is better tournament, premium, more fun to play. ZMAC, I get why you would say that. And your opinion honestly holds much more weight than mine does on pinball. Just hot glue a solo cup to a headband and the leaky roof issue goes away. You're right, Flipstream. Absolutely. I am just whining, I guess, at this point. Whoops, forgot about Castlock. I did read that. Pro is better tournament, premium, more fun to play. that's how I should have read that the entire time ArchMecca, so no more music for the stream after all the TFCA takedowns? Yeah, ArchMecca I gotta do some research to figure out what it is very likely, it sounds like what will happen is I can play what I want but I have to immediately export the VOD after the stream to YouTube and then delete the VOD off of Twitch, and that should make sure that I don't get in trouble, but I want to go over that with kind of a fine-tooth comb because I do not want to get booted off of Twitch.
    104:02
    I just thought you were really excited about the differences. I need to see this. No. Wait, I gotta go back up. One of my Pinball League locations had that leak problem.
    104:16
    People trash in this game. No. Pinball Princess Jillian, I don't know what the no is in response to, but it could be in any of the 15 other conversations that are going on simultaneously. but no pinball music either oh well we have the game going and that's we're gonna have to I really don't like this I'm okay with the music for this game I don't like how amped up it gets me I'm like what is that from Tommy Boy I'm like Jojo the Idiot Circus Boy with a pretty new pet kind of just gets so tense by the end as the music really starts getting going really really fast and I don't like that I kind of want to Not that I want smooth jazz, Sade kind of stuff. I'm not looking for that. But I do like relaxing music. You have to delete your clips if they have music. So every single clip I own, I'm going to have to go back through and delete. You're safe completely. Twitch mutes the music for you.
    105:13
    So that's the interesting part. They mute it for me. But if I talk over the music, I can play whatever I want to in the background because their music thingy doesn't pick it up. So I have been playing music in the background for 293 streams, and I just make sure that I try to talk the entire time, and I usually don't get picked up. Rather, I usually don't get caught and muted. You have to delete your clips. You only have to delete the clips that you and users clip. Okay, so I'll just go back through and save, and then go through and delete every clip. I know what I'm going to be doing while I'm in meetings all day tomorrow. Alt music option. What time is it? 1148? I'm going to have to delete this one here. Flipstream, thank you very much for hitting me up with all of the stuff. I see it here now that I pulled out my phone.
    106:12
    Hold on. Oh my god, I'm catching up! Discord is going crazy right now. I can't even pick music. So if we were gonna do music, what would we do? We would definitely do 90s rock, because that has just been amazing recently. And then we have to come in here and do the music attenuation. The worst in my life. We'll get there, guys. We'll get there. We're going to get there.
    106:53
    There it is. Music attenuation. Got to put that one up to 60. And there we go. So if I'm going to go back through and delete all of my clips, we might as well enjoy some music, right?
    107:07
    Here we go. See if we can get it on the fly! Nope! But we can get it from downtown. This should have an alt game music. Oh, it does have an alternative game music. You're right. Sorry. I thought you were making a general statement about you wanted to listen to alternative music. And I'm like, but that's what I put on. It was 90s alternative.
    108:04
    With the great undead Scraping the blood It happened in my head Once again Two shots left. We got the right orbit and something else. all right
    108:46
    Magna save, Magna save, Magna save! You just gotta hit the button or to fill the hole the Magna save right and this is how you get banned. ZMap yeah yeah so we just We just gotta talk really really loud over, like let's not stop talking. But enjoy the music all the same. That's, alright, we've got two there.
    109:18
    I mean I moved my hand that time. I moved my hand for it. I can't believe the RIAA is so butthurt about music playing on screen. Most people know way more about music than me, and I'm okay with it. Test Bishop, welcome to the stream. I don't think I've said that yet. Oh, slow! You're going to kill me! There we go. One shot left, and they all open back up. I am your enemy! Back up! I am your enemy! Back up! Magma Beast defeated! Fine run, ball three and we defeated one beast. That's nothing to get excited about.
    110:07
    Yay! We got an extra ball now. And we lit ball save over on the left. Can't argue with that. Thank you, Testers. Perfect timing. I will accept that I'm the man, but apparently it is something else. It's definitely not Kinball. Like right now I would say I am really good at voices and reading books to my kids. When I come visit George, I'll loan you my megaphone. They'll never hear the music. with it turned all the way up, you'll be heard across the football field. Thank you! I love that! And I can't wait for you to come visit. I want to take everybody on stream who's here right now, I want to take you guys on what we call a brew tour through Fort Collins, Colorado, and that's where you hit all of these different breweries. And then we'll end by taking an Uber 45 minutes away, which is going to be ridiculously expensive, but so worth it to go to Weldworks. So we hit up all these local group places, end up at Weldworks, and then not remember, essentially, the drive back to Colorado.
    111:40
    Time is at 11.53. We've got time for at least another game or two. Let's see here. You just use it. If you're going to get banned, at this point it's already over. ZMack, that's kind of what I was thinking. I just need to go through and start deleting everything. Hmm, think you can get in legal trouble if I came? You're not 21 yet. Nope. Sorry. Like, if your dad wanted to come, then absolutely. That would be fine.
    112:24
    Yeah, we would just have to get your dad to come with. I don't even know what I'm doing right now. I'm just hitting flashing shots.
    112:54
    And DPFcon 2021. Let's just hit everything. Your order might be a little failure. Your order? Tell us, man. Uh, they've been using replay.
    113:18
    Gosh. I'm gonna blame that, I'm trying to maintain conversation with the chat while playing. Look at ZMack, a fake mustache in trench coat. He'll be fine, he'll be fine.
    113:43
    Ehh, not gonna get there. Just do it, or nudge, or anything. There is no reason to just sit there and watch that, like you just watch failure happen. There goes that ball save.
    114:39
    There we go. Got the extra ball, got the lock. Please don't be a third ball lock. I really don't want that right now. Okay, that was the first. Good, good, good. That's the kind of game this is.
    115:15
    Uhhhh, let's see here, support Collins! It'll be a while though since you know I've been drinking, so I'll have to watch. Back to the box, there, there.
    115:43
    I'm Magna-saved, I don't even care. We are gonna call that one a big win. Shits! Ooh, look at thatinis
    116:15
    All right And night y'all. Have a wonderful vacation. I'm going to keep saying that because I'm so proud of myself for coming up with it so quickly.
    116:45
    Three shots! Two shots left. Is that the third? I would make three at this point. It's been... it's been that kind of night.
    117:12
    Alright. Here it depends. No! Alright, alright, we're fine. We're all fine here. Why is that yellow right now? That is... I think yellow means it's gonna be a while. Get back in your flying colors. I'm sure that'll work out perfectly.
    118:32
    Nope, nope, nope. Let's see here. With current traffic conditions, I could walk there in 337 hours. Only, Hatchet, if you think that was a big slide, you've never seen me slide a game.
    118:50
    Oh man. Uh, you also have to sleep and eat and stuff. I'd guess a month at least. Yeah, that sounds about right. Guys, we've got nine minutes until I'm very likely to drop internet. I think we can sneak in one mediocre game.
    119:12
    Uh, one danger's okay. Let's do it. Let's do it. This'll be the game, though. This is the one. Yep, yep, yep, very obviously this is the one right there.
    119:39
    Here we go. There's a blue shot. What do we need now? Let's go another blue shot. That's a red shot. Apparently I think you have to hit a blue then a red.
    120:07
    We got our bonus 2x. We still have War Up Top. There's another blue shot. Glitchlord defeated. Let's go one of those again. those again, lashing red shot. We've got one shot left. And that's game. ZMAC in a go now. Bye, ZMAC. Have a wonderful evening. Thank you so much for hanging out. And thank you for buying a compliment. That was super fun.
    120:49
    Lich Lord frozen! Now we need to defeat a Lich Lord. There's another blue shot. Ah, there's another frozen shot. There it is. Next Lord of War!
    121:22
    There's our extra ball and a mystery, but we're on ball two, that kind of stinks. Three million. I really don't like getting points awarded for mystery. I want things! There we go.
    122:00
    That's another danger. Is that the first danger? Here we go. Mode start, ball lock at the same time. And I walk the plank. Can't be doing that. Uh, Cookie Clicker Legend, I can't take, uh, I can't take, I can't take it, I, uh, that was not me, I can't take ownership of that.
    122:58
    Wow! Alright, alright, we are actually going to make this the quick game I think. the quick game I think
    123:26
    Alright so we completed that I meant to say That... Dang, sorry. Before we lose internet, you guys, thank you so much. My name is George. We hung out, we had fun, we chatted, there was lots of compliments that went out, and pull-ups, and, I don't know, all kinds of fun stuff. You guys are amazing. Looking forward to hanging out again tomorrow. I don't know what we're going to play. I kind of want to play either Black Knight or Star Trek, but I have a ton of mods to install on Star Trek, and I kind of want to show those off, so I might hold off until next week. So maybe we go back to Ghostbusters tomorrow? I don't know. But regardless, it will be fun, and then you guys remember, this Thursday is a dual stream with Jedi McMuffin and Uncle Toybox. That's going to be Thursday night. I think we might be streaming a little bit earlier than normal. So instead of 10 to 12, we might be starting at 9 and going to 12. And that, I think we're going to try and actually set that up for the IFPA Challenge reading. So that should be super fun. And beyond that, you guys, have an enjoyable, I guess, what's left of your Monday. And see you all tomorrow.
    124:59
    There's a button for this. Thank you. Guys, we are going to go over and raid MaxPower68000, who I think is doing another software portion to his custom-designed pinball machine. Doesn't look like there's anybody else streaming actual pinball right now. I'm just double-checking. If you guys have something, I'll throw it out there. It is MaxPower68000. That's it right now. So let's go head over his direction. Hang on just a sec here.
    126:31
    You're still here? It's over. Go home. Go. Thank you.
