when a second person let's do this all right little Total Nuclear Annihilation are we screaming when I can we see the chatter so we're doing on we're doing a tiebreaker between Schultz and Ryan Lewis Ryan is pretty drunk well we will Vince my fruit to see if it's better to play drugs going it might be the crazy neighbors alright so uh so Johnny ive played this maybe about five times I think I know for the month why you don't want to do what eat this day right there fine but when it does go off yelling you want to make sure that you light up one of those save lights because once you get off for 10 second trip for 10 seconds well it's the one that's blinking so basically yeah they gave me some for my understanding it's pretty simple all you got to do is basically go to the reactors and the way you go through the reactors is one thing that offense is really active so that you enable amends those nine those three targets they're the be targets kind of in the middle of the play field you know what I'm talking about yeah yeah the one right next to where you're locking your balls right there so basically you hit those until you light up your you react once a lot up your reactor you want to shoot into the scoop and then and then once the cheering in the scoop you basically want to build up the reactor so that you make it explode now you could do that during multi balls to see what he's doing right now is he's putting the multi line now he's gonna try to hit those white targets kind of been available to play kids to try to light up your reactor once see he's going for those targets right now that he's got the middle one left one left one left up the middle now one thing about multiball when you're in a two ball multiply you got a 2x you see that two x's blinking so the goal of the game is basically to complete your reactors so he just lifts the skin for the reactor there you go so now it's on oh just about say - yeah so they show the to point when you got a multiball basically if you got three balls you got three X if you got two balls that's all right it's pretty liberal I mean immature electric shuvit now the skill shot you know that there's a hands-free skill shot on this right yes me and Matt God we're talking about it and can you move it back well here's the deal no if you if you touch the flip it does the flippers is that hands-free anymore if you if you basically when you're up he's gonna go plunge right now if you can that if you can if he could hit that the keys blinking without flipping that's gonna automatically enable the reactor in this case though it doesn't matter because I mean these reactors actually live in Stu oh wow normally that would have started it yes get it going two scoops on this one I would have to me yeah I guess let me just pick pick some ultimate bonus go okay you put it in the scoop now you definitely want to get your multiball once you get your multiball then you want to shoot the balls up on the upper play field give me an interesting Finals game with everyone's skill at each other's locks by the way the spinner builds up nice nice ball see whether there's a lot of log Ryan Policky by every game and updates only now he's doing it now there you go so now the reactor is he's ready to be destroyed what he needs to do is you need to hit those - okay you ready in one of the white arrows babies that's the lights right there which is the one on the left I'm Brad but the problem is that now he does these not a multiball so it's gonna be just a single multiplier so what I would do is I would actually try to maybe to go to multiply again he creates like it's like it's like by the way the guy that's playing this guy dude only because he's uh nasty that's [ __ ] bad that sometimes having a pinball people the cool ones they become so drunk that they return okay I I you starting to eat are you starting to make your excuses about we're not gonna take it if you lose so we did a I think there was 36 people and we did eight rounds and the top eight events events and it will play two games of Total Nuclear Annihilation these guys are in a tiebreaker right now yeah fabrics are for a place and this fall free so he needs to make how much about three hundred thousand so basically this point you unlock the ball now by the way on the upper grape field one to play enables the reactor right answer is ready to be destroyed perfect now it starts a multiball and kill the reactor that's what you want to do you got killed that we know so so Mark Schultz takes it you'll be moving on three rounds coalition yeah we're gonna be here for an hour all right so the finals format is basically just two games for people at the top two on each group advance to the finals and then we're gonna have the finals 203 or just one game one game one game one game oh yeah so the top two from each group will move to the finals and then the top two after that will battle each other for first or second place and top four pays all right so we got Mark Schultz from San Diego we've just made just made the card so here I'd like to just drain the ball so I can get my ball saying why would you want to do that no way man so I can you get my lines no because the thing is that if you keep it up there you do one two three it enables the reactor so why would you not wanna enable the reactor you know I want my free shots in you watch the look is not too hard I mean the flippers are kind of flat so it's but once you find it it's not too bad well and then as soon as you lock a ball you get the plunge again and then you can still do but it's not it's not easy though getting that 1 2 3 up there I think I think you're right for qualifying that I would do that but heads up I want to just start my mother I don't know maybe now keep in mind if you drain it you leave those locks to to the next person but let's see so he's having trouble buying this out loud there we go a lucky one should I'll do a stop lunch it's not the auto plunge it's gonna do a hard bunch up and we hit it too hard he tried Oh fumble save all right it's the second lot almost comet there you go aim let's begin nice little bumps he does ladies ball see you get another our bonus for that too so let's see if somebody's gonna steal his ball it's a fun game I gotta say what do you do oh it's simple and yet you know it's a challenging move did play and you still in it yeah way better yeah don't stay up all night watching funny oh nice right so now it's a Mack ball one from LA he's getting all flustered the nerves no pressure all right soft lunge try to get the oh yes nice there we go I'm able that I'm able to react nice plunge now get that multiball right away don't leave it there we go you can backend it by the way so here's a chat man yeah guys now start the reactor there you go started the reactor now try to spin ER he still has his ball state do you think it's worth ever going to jackpot I haven't gone for the jackpot I don't know how much it's worth the jackpots on the walk shots again yeah what is that is it a certain number of shots to start it or is it so the that's our because of the spinner actually advances in okay so right now he can collect them with just that one shot but I don't know I thought what I wanted to be trying to start multi Michael exit I see what you just put some points on scratches ball cream that's it he collected so use acrylic thousand maybe you just want to put some points okay now let's start over get your ball t-ball mister lotsa he's got reaction to that means that he has to bring down all the targets put it in this scoop and then it wouldn't leave a lock okay certainly has one target so two shots make out two shots basically so one hit the tuck there you go and now he's putting the scoop on nice nice in lane there so I'm pretty solid so far so you can get in the school and yes it's perfect now he's got her green ball so you have you got the boss a nice it was pretty generous in there something nice little bounces nice pass over nice taffy now let's see if we can get a lot and yes you got one lakh stomping on jail so I'll plunge it to the upper upper plane if it is nice and smelling for only continued bonus my bonus my last buck more will give you a bonus multiplier for the boat to get back now you get back in and it's really early on the background Oh almost it's earlier oh nice all right he delighted autopunch to do try to get himself together [Music] so now start the multiball beautiful now hit your targets you need one more target to enable it middle target oh that's what it is yeah it's a rare now it's enable you see that yeah but it's also three hours you get three balls in play it's alright yes all right so you got the multiball and I must have known that everybody does have the Mac the reactor and let so at this point okay it stuck the reactor all right we have to - oh hey guys the music on this game is awesome got a boss a nice and he does have his boss's brain [Music] let's see if it goes for the locks oh yeah he's not going for the why I don't know gets lucky I'll box 850 not blank those box man they're green I mean you gotta go for lots month what are you doing baby's little nervous oh my gosh yeah he's yeah but you why why are you going for the up straight back we will ask it when he gets done with this point there's no now you all right good okay good come on go for it that first one can be difficult to get home the back ends [Music] man three two I would always set up with EU and watch this 300 yeah it is one easy call the audio here that uh ejection from the scoop is definitely not consistent yeah I almost uh get that first lock on the backhand it's definitely pretty good it is yeah it's still definitely doable but a lot of times it just dribbles alright how are we doing on scores well you feel right there right there I know I can't read his down or even at 36,000 right now matt has a pretty commanding lead 400,000 he's the only one who played multiball and did he play too I am little much well the surprising is why were you going for multiball we dance the way I'm not right all right so mark has a tough break - looking up at this looking up at this is incredible oh yeah the music is awesome all the lights very cool alright he's got one ball walks and in parks game see if Adam can get his fault ago last time he left it to Matt my baby in cotrol four-handed don't think Adams not much of a control player okay well you know whoa you know we have to give him proud of that we had to this is great for your brother could capitalize on this and yes you got yeah that's the second time Adam has given him a multiple yeah that's beautiful so now basically you've got two shots you see that the bumper Josh dozens of reactor - so is it just the bumper you can get always the bumper and the arm yeah because these are mere two - we have three shots okay but can you hit anywhere on the bumper I know so why is there two lights on the bumper my question now the only light is on art he excited Sofia yeah but the rates to Piero I wonder you're looking for the arrow so I hit that are for tonight don't wait too much it's good hit it on the fly I'm the fly spot oh all right this point I don't know I guess go for multiball again and then try to do it it's the ball under control see if he hits the Argos in the lock I think you just try the forehand that's the ball same oh well done yeah that was great having trouble hitting that top target let's go back yeah there you go back in there when a student shuttle batter nice on the forehand I don't find out might as well get some points and build up right now yes now that he's on the upper face with that place trying to get done one two three [Music] Wow three shots to complete false name [Music] so you can't play the x-pyr olya you can only plunge it we just destroyed the reactor how about that funny video somehow I admit Carl play and it relights Carlos oh hi mrs. ed I'm really bad for quality all right so he's got waling ball lock see if you can find that shot nice all right let's see there is there's ball to lock is he gonna do the auto play here no he doesn't stop yeah you still want to do it goes again you want to enable it with that see how I'm trying to keep it up there once I get that one two three yeah so you actually have to do the one two three to order as well I thought that was gonna be a tilt for sure he's taking a break right down taking a break oh wow he just needs a hit thought lop Center target all right you started 20 other two bubbles right she's got a 2x yeah does not have to be accurate here because the area he needed consulate get into the scoop oh just like drop it [Music] so does being a top do anything for you yeah built up a reactor and he just got out upon its multiplier you gotta put a call tomorrow to access solid yeah there you go you just build up the reactor so now you see he only needs one shot you kill it all right so what if you're gonna do is gonna go for the chowder he's gonna turn I think I think he's gonna go for there because he was yeah yeah and and that's probably smart because to get the multiball you need it you need to break down all the targets and then put into the ball in there yeah he's got one two three targets to scoop and then to push three more shots are you looking at it six shots total yeah that's quite a bit but of course he's gonna do that right now because it's not safe those targets got that back in on [Music] alright the Corolla is in second right now sure mark is just putting in his first ball [Music] keep in mind that at the moment these are looking here at the moment the grand champion scores only two million nice work so this is his tournament life on the lion on this ball yeah when he stops to get three oh three oh well that's it for mark he's knocked out that's it for March let's see if Adam sets up another multiball from out Athena's gonna keep the hands on the flipper that's more seriously let's work on that traitor now let's see Lissie you're never gonna oh just like that it's over dollar so call the meta fans so Matt will probably play this just to get a little bit more practice yeah I would Oh creepy white babies right right what's this good still all know that he's drunk does letting that happen if you get to nine so we don't know what's been I thank you for the follow and you can't funny thing about balls [Music] does it say anywhere how many spinners he needs to get [Music] all right so now he's got what we're support oh yeah he's gonna fork target so you guys yeah so yeah I mean so I'm still confused by that buffer does he have to hit it twice now so what's going on oh yeah so I'm gonna maybe backhand it towards the scoop so you get one of the shots yeah a hard time front of that bumper it's not something you ain't for normal yeah there you go get it with those things of one more Oh going for that he's going for the loss I should be that's not a bad idea oh yeah I'd be bricks later he has a chest he's a movie actor 500 and he got phosphate why is it oh why is he getting a pulse in there Matt is a very solid player by the way here in LA he's been practicing a lot the last two months yeah really wants to show up a didn't disk and do a good job [Music] all right so can you actually okay I was wondering if you could actually hit that scoop on their son you see the ball save flicking it's down the block he should be soft this is great warmer Frank I mean he's really getting it down this one you want to hear one two three come on all right that's good nice about ready she doing soft punch get it in the upper foot now you're got perfect now I haven't seen anyone hit that one yet all right about the Stars balls they're ball nice not up and over he's actually able to keep this ball slave [Music] so - I mean is the reactor is the upper bleep pill powder - right now it's at zero yeah every time you hit the spinner if you come down there okay is 99 and that's when I give you the train I think I think we're at their house we give the ticket right now irony is you see the spinner [Music] Carl's just kind of great his I think he might try to fix the screen a little bit I think your brother got out good warm up there I I the scoop is the only excuse is like the only difficult thing in the scale of that feeding we must have time the balls live I've seen some people try to drop catch it I've seen people just bounce it I'm gonna be right back I'm gonna use the restroom you have all your good alright I know it's different it's because I'm writing a second model this time I didn't run a second monitor last time I did the straight that may be why it's getting choppy but we need to go see it here and the Box pops all the way over there so no I'm gonna do a monitor right now so we can see it over here yeah the laptop sitting under the game you know so the only place I can doing it do it in here all right so yeah Johnny you're gonna eat just get out of the chair what am on this side always always all right so this round we have a their price coming up first it looks like you're watching the second round of the total nuclear annihilation final you're a stogie in Van Nuys they're extending up with music on Hawaii there's great music on this game you shouldn't be listening to music did you actually be like a little 2.5 adaptil you know the ball state starts immediately once you start to play so if you do the soft lunge and you miss it starts counting down so there's no such thing as not hitting a switch or anything like that right no nothing like that in the same one of the rafter them right all right stepping up now player - Raymond - be I don't know maybe he was already stirring it - Tonto [Applause] [Music] I made no move on that mr. shake Ramona does the shaker motor and it's already swinging a bit the shaker cam yeah [Music] Lehman's lighten it settle a little it looks like going up with his Kitty kisses kitty kisser we got mr. Raymond here this is the hands-free skill shot and earlier the backhand as you may have seen the the back end on the right flipper to vlog who's working well earlier in the day and now it just doesn't work at all to go way back it's a very very that's a very very early background before you see ya - birdie good morning yeah I especially for that background oh you know but you get it though he did not get it it has to visibly lock for it to work there's a set of optos back there that the ball has to uh and that's the boss today yes he got the flashing lanes hurry up the bottle favorite it starts at 10 second countdown but I think she drained it use it immediately okay he's got it's pretty small oh there's Frank oh nice what's it back why is he it was trespassing Adam so he just has one target right right it's wonderful I started to like the reactor if you kept it in the upper breakaway just this one two three in a row - right right but it's not too easy to hit one two three and that's the new code the 1.0 0.6 code is Regina right so there you go so about the reactors way so now though he led to ball screen so hopefully it'll try soft ones like he was to get in the upper play-doh or it back ended like he did okay so spinners give you about 15 hits nice solid on the spinner there it is nice he's got it at 51% look at every handy laughing about 500 I believe to the reactive value characters from the hard target a nice double collector they're both 90,000 not bad alright so now let's start over again right now how much are the jackpots worth I mean it's a worth going for now calm yeah the jackpots are they can't be worth going for especially in the later reactors value gets really up there like but what's the tip of jackpot but I think the base is 7500 so it's single double super than triple I think okay - ball ball save ah did he make it yeah I made it alright alright after here and the reactor was ready to go so you still want to keep it updated right yeah hey it builds nice yeah so you see I mean look at the valley it's a 85,000 right now we can hit it before it recognizes that single value now I would visit the decision point do you go back from multiball and then you can try and triple that value why did he try to hit the school he's going from mystery because one of the mystery wards is light locks that would be a good time why do you want to how to collect it oh oh that was weird so everyone watching this is all something important locally so once it's done it'll be up on YouTube sometime tomorrow that's definite right now Rob Smith return the ball wasn't shooting on the rental he was laughing I can't read it yeah but he wasn't the ball more than sitting on the shooter in the lane for some reason I think it might be a little be right [Applause] got three eggs still got the balls here two targets left to the lights reactor one more there you go grandpa slip scoop nice Oh what was that you got a little straighter in just a little bit now the white target they just add value right what targets the middle targets you can collect the value if you hit them all down you get some percentage of the Oh ten percentage okay I don't know it is exactly so why is it going for this are ya Slovak is this me just 12 is reactor now he's on the second one now ball bio props man yeah Brandon 363,000 okay now stepping up David Oliver doing the bottom er San Diego danger all right so at this point I would shoot the scoop to exactly to start the reactor and then go for the blocks because during the fund you'll get summoned up for playbills we lock the balls because if you lose the ball you're still gonna get up Wow he's done automatically father he's just killed him reactor like that I'm glad to watch that again because I have no idea all right it was it a mystery word I was that was odd yeah that was like boom warp drive to reactor - yeah there's a dangerous man [Music] what does r8d go stargazing mystery all that's mystery got all right Derrick stepping back up Derrick's at 9,000 160 how the bonus is it good it can be if you get the multiplier up yeah you can get a nice hefty bonus it the further hits and reactors Derrick bring the best shirt ever which Johnny wouldn't buy because it was too soft so what this he's wearing the best shirt ever oh why you wouldn't buy because it was too soft it say that it's not a hundred percent cotton it's a tri-blend it's got to be a hundred edges - it smells great gnar nerd I have some available if anyone wants any email me you sweat don't buy from him they're bad get off so wait get out of here all right we got Derrick with the two balls lock so TV gig start the most about you alright backhand does work for this there it is doesn't work now if you're fast enough you can get a ball straightens the super jackpot when they all come down before the job targets all reset really yeah all because the death line is it's true yeah the super gang wants to screw it goes single double triple super Wow they they actually time out you can hit the single and then you have ten seconds I think it is before every set I could be wrong there could be five seconds but it never seems long enough thanks scribble I'm really curious about how that that reactor happened all right decision time here so at this point why would you do what you just like try to complete the reactor how would you go for multiball again multi camera he needs training score he's got one 3232 so I feel promote involved because he you need it any this trip Amaya and it's a stupid dangerous shots I mean sure the reactor is gonna be worth twenty eight thousand it's just how that much yeah it's not much teachers court where you want to collect it yeah nice yeah for the warning now if he dreams it now that's shot is still gonna be available yeah switch it fast enough all right so Derek enters balls they're gonna get a hundred and eighty thousand three hundred twenty Raven asked me stepping up for his second it's a mystery award that max bonus multiplier is a massive award that's a seven activity to give me we get it [Music] why is the spinner flashing right now it was flashing earlier watching that red is a combo shot all right that's an extra ball for starting the third reactor Oh drain plastic double drain nice shot 9:57 yes no one's trying to fund a reactor trap yeah because you can actually get the your actor ready to destroy it yeah with those things in there [Music] [Applause] all right Rob Smith seven up with 363,000 Breck the values at 38,000 700 I'm great a started hard by hanging ball safe is still active all right that's the street sign hit that thing it gets there we go so this place definitely start your multiple right yes because that would be a triple value so that would be one hundred fifty thousand collection he's able to get it while es all three balls CBD but let's try one more now you still want to put the ball up on the top right yeah cuz it'll build the die you score I'm out of here oh yeah oh there's two shots no Jeff Moneyball save I would never wanted to drain right got a nice huh I said I wouldn't let one or two drain clean effort I'll have so much business going on all right doing a one more chocolate in this reactor [Applause] there we go got there good control by the way Paul say be sure i I just I disagree with uh Deanna what makes the ball safe right there oh you've wasted all that Willie had ten seconds the ball said he could've been flailing around and building more um I don't know because he didn't put the ball up in the upper play field which went in the Scoob and started the reactor in multi market so at this point it's all about the legit reading the spinners not lit easy oh he's not in the reactor right now that's why [Music] can you back into let's Bonanno nope you are there what a save letters good as long as it goes in your waist for them this one all right here and it's Derek laughs lifeline right here and that's it for their birthday Derek is eliminated at this point yeah Raymond in the lead stepping up I've been looking good knocking at 1 million [Music] how did you start the reactor he had it already left so now you really want to shoot the ball long absolutely right they're going on one away and then it'll be a triple value what's a 80 some odd thousand maybe actually I think the third reactor when you're up top is a every link in every switches is an extra thousand on top of the reactor by I did you think he let it drain a purpose bidding all but he missed the you wanted to try off the top yeah I mean if you got ball signal do draining our purpose and trying to hit the ball off the top right now his problem he's gonna be exhale get good he got the whole thing off one shot if that target right next to the scoop yeah nobody's going for holtam all around us I mean for our project line I don't know I've no idea with the deck what sir that's right I don't know what the formula is there's a formula out there but oh boy okay yeah face value times number of reactors you've gone through times balls and play make me big I mean I've gotten a 75,000 guy fire a mush 75,000 point thirty five thousand seven D Ryan Policky as a reactor 3 X yeah it a single jackpot at 3 X 4 45,000 so then double would've been 90 ok but it's still a lot the value of a reactor but it's repeatable anyway what happens after reactor name we don't know very nice 1.65 Rob Smith 7f Reds a small 860,000 he's looking pretty good let's try to put as much distance between himself and David ring right so this point the reactor I would train you know what I would try and get multiball first you try to watch trying it multiball first the triple that value yeah I try to put more distance oh yeah because the only has one shot really good game pretty good I'll feel battle you're for David [Music] as the mystery disappear when your multi-monitor now know oh yes it does actually that's so that's what he's trying to go for my boy honestly I don't remember I'm assuming in there you might like that here it's not gonna sit there and hand on this year all right so facilitate everything alright that's double jackpot for 60,000 that's a triple for 90 and I believe the super is five minutes so every 150,000 see it's already exactly triple and now it's at double you see a pop up one at a time and back a single single all the jackpot counter making some excellent progress here [Music] while when you're up there really fills up the rap all right he wants a good mystery word here let's see if we're good that only 25,000 in my opinion get it a lie that's all that's the end of the game all right all we're gonna take a look at the computer see what's going on all right so the finals the finals are gonna be Carl D'Python Anghelo Raymond's Rob who's in the first force wasn't prescribed to him Raymond Rob Matt [ __ ] and Carl's brother I just gotta buy your brother believe it understand your next meeting so what is the order is that it barely see this so I believe car will stop soon probably gonna go porn I'm gonna assume and Raymond is gonna go first because we're below a C which is always the biggest disadvantage of this game get still a but he's walks in the first ball did that the forehand on the lock took me a while like spider all right the grand finale
