Of course, man. He's he's really good at hitting shots. Yep. There we go. Yep. There we go. Oh, that quick shot was in his way Oh, that quick shot was in his way there. Still in his way. Still in his way. Needs to time out the quick shot. There Needs to time out the quick shot. There we go. That's an interesting That that's so interesting. Truly playing the game differently cuz Truly playing the game differently cuz quick shots are like one of the most valuable things in the game. Gives you to like train your brain to Gives you to like train your brain to ignore things that are valuable because they're blocking progress. Yeah. because they're blocking progress. Yeah. All right, two more clears will do it. Can't backhand the left. At least not on Can't backhand the left. At least not on that shot. Okay. Oh, he got the hard one or hard Okay. Oh, he got the hard one or hard the pawn shot. the pawn shot. All right. All right. Oh, yeah. You got the Yeah. Oh, yeah. You got the Yeah. Starts nice one. Starts nice one. You know what's funny is like You know what's funny is like the the shots are right there, but those are like most of them are half inch targets which are like very difficult to shoot. Yeah. when they're that far up like Yeah. when they're that far up like that. It's true. Except for the the center It's true. Except for the the center ramp one. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Can you hit it from the top? All right. Can you hit it from the top? Doesn't doesn't think about it. You probably can't. All right. We're at the 120 mark. All right. We're at the 120 mark. There we go. He needs one more clear. There we go. He needs one more clear. Good snipe. The two shots. And he just has to hit the targets, And he just has to hit the targets, right? There's no final shot. Yeah. Right. It automatically starts. Yeah. Right. It automatically starts. And he's got double the double the time. Like he's he's got more than enough time to hit that last target. Man, I do wonder if Keith didn't start Man, I do wonder if Keith didn't start the multiball. And if that wouldn't have done it, if that wouldn't have done it, it might have it might have cuz he was nailing it when he was in cuz he was nailing it when he was in multiball. Yeah, he's really finding that shot. Yeah, he's really finding that shot. And there we go. There it is. There it is. That's all you needed. That's all you needed. Casual saunter. Well done, Neil. Casual saunter. Well done, Neil. That puts us at five to three. Okay. O, so Neil just needs one more wipe out feeding frenzy, which is an wipe out feeding frenzy, which is an interesting uh mode in that it is awarded during bonus, which is something that was more common which is something that was more common in days past. Y Y like, like, oh, Dracula. oh, Dracula. Dracula, Dracula, Ramstrokers Dracula. Ramstrokers Dracula. Um, Twilight Zone. Um, Twilight Zone. Twilight Zone. Twilight Zone. Um, other games. Um, other games. That's all I had to that's all I had. Uh That's all I had to that's all I had. Uh games where like your your scoring games where like your your scoring during game play was like Yeah. Yeah. But your bonus is like But your bonus is like Oh, Indiana Jones, I think. Oh, Indiana Jones, I think. Uh yeah, Uh yeah, some of them like that video. some of them like that video. Uh Judge Dread was a big uh big big Uh Judge Dread was a big uh big big bonus game. Oh, I I never got into that game. Like I Oh, I I never got into that game. Like I It also had like once per game you could It also had like once per game you could double your bonus, but it was like a very dangerous shot, but if you did that, your score was unobtainable to anyone else. Yeah. Oh, I love that. Double bonus where double bonus just means so much. Forget about 11x or whatever. Double bonus. Double. Double. Uh, I guess you could say that. Uh, this Uh, I guess you could say that. Uh, this game Oh, yeah. Demolition Man. Oh, yeah. Demolition Man. Demolition Man kind of has the double Demolition Man kind of has the double bonus feature built in to the triggers. Are you a built in to the triggers. Are you a trigger man or a I trigger all day. Yeah, me too. I trigger all day. Yeah, me too. I feel like it gives you First off, it's I feel like it gives you First off, it's unique, but yeah, you it feels cool. Yeah, it just feels like I'm driving a Yeah, it just feels like I'm driving a ship. And also like nudging the game was never easier grip. And oh, those are pretty hot grip. And oh, those are pretty hot swappable to put on any pinball machine you want. Really? Really? Yeah. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Yeah, I can see that. All right. Yeah. Yeah, I can see that. It's just it's just a uh little little thing. Um All right. So, little little thing. Um All right. So, do we still have some round ones? Uh quite a few. Uh quite a few. What the heck? Yeah, they it might just What the heck? Yeah, they it might just be that people might be waiting for other games and they're really wanting a certain they're like I want to play X-Men. I want to do Sentinel Multiplay, right? So, and they're not they're Yeah, maybe Jaws is open or whatever. I'm just reading off the page. I'm not not picking out. Yeah, I really want to play I No one wants to play Jaws. Sentinel multiball was one of those like I I really love the Metallica style like hit it until it starts something and that's what we wanted to do with the the head there. It was like that's the big dum dum shot in the middle. I want anyone walking up to that game to be able to play multiball right off the rip. Yeah, dumb dumb shots should always Yeah, dumb dumb shots should always start something. Yeah. I mean, multiball is like for Yeah. I mean, multiball is like for people that don't know pinball, that's like the oh my gosh, what's happening? That's a good point. And uh that when That's a good point. And uh that when someone that doesn't know pinball gets a multiball, that changes their perspective on pinball. Oh man, I'm rethinking my next design a Oh man, I'm rethinking my next design a little bit. I'm like, "Ah, you're right. You're right." Yeah. Get some stokes. Get some stokes. That is Do you have that with, you know, That is Do you have that with, you know, like designing a game and people are talking about their preferences and things and you're like kind of racking your brain, you're like, "Do am I doing that or like does that kind of affect your a little bit?" Yeah. But again, it's a little bit?" Yeah. But again, it's all, you know, the the play field speaks to you. Um, obviously working with your team to understand like what we all want out of the machine, but there is that understanding of you have to cater to people that just have no clue what's going on, and you want to make sure they're having fun, too. Yeah. That's the That's the tricky part Yeah. That's the That's the tricky part is trying to get it Yeah. the balance. You have to deal with Yeah. the balance. You have to deal with Keith Ellen and then you got to deal with my six-year-old, you know, like and they both need to have fun on the game, right? Yeah. You know, it's always right? Yeah. You know, it's always interesting to me when I see someone a new player that doesn't like multiball. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. There are those people and a lot of There are those people and a lot of they're in the way. they're in the way. Well, it's just it's like it's a panic Well, it's just it's like it's a panic thing and they're like, I didn't like that. It was anxietyinducing. I I there was too much going on. I'm like, that is very interesting. Like I, you know, I very interesting. Like I, you know, I want to I want to let's talk about that. You know, I love being in multiball, I love being in multiball, right? Like that is the goal. Like for right? Like that is the goal. Like for other people, like my my mom, shout out. Hi, mom. Hi, mom. Hi, mom. Uh is that she if she gets into Uh is that she if she gets into multiball, that is winning the game. It's like, you know, some people it's like make your own make your own objectives. make your own make your own objectives. I love that that too. Oh my gosh. Yes. There was a that too. Oh my gosh. Yes. There was a time when, you know, I I was in an arcade that had tons of games, 80 games, right? And uh it was during you know like COVID so like there was no one playing but I I was like testing the game so I had like my end but like me and another guy it was like you want to play Attack from Mars but uh you want to play Attack from Mars but uh only do Martian multiball you know Martian only. you know Martian only. Yeah, Yeah, right. or uh I'm trying to think of the right. or uh I'm trying to think of the other like we we just tried to find the most ridiculous things to do in that that's how I taught myself how to that that's how I taught myself how to get better is I made games out of flipper control be like uh I'm going to like if you and I uh I'm going to like if you and I stepped up to a game I'm going to get a ball on a flipper and I'm going to post pass as many times as I can in one go and I'm going to drain and then you have to try to beat that and we go back and forth totally I had that it was tap passing on totally I had that it was tap passing on par passing how I've done that was the first time I met Keith Elwen, I don't know if you know, uh, but it was at a a district 82 tournament. It was the first time I met him and we were, uh, playing on a tournament game on Dolly, and after our game, I was like, "Hey, Keith, you want to um split flipper, but tap passes only." Oh, there you go. Just back and forth at Oh, there you go. Just back and forth at each other. Yeah. And whoever lost the ball first. I Yeah. And whoever lost the ball first. I won't say who won. That's incredible. That's incredible. Uh, but it was Keith. Uh, but it was Keith. Uh, speaking of Keith Ellen, the very first time I ever played in a tournament against him was like over a decade ago and I knew of him and I I played in this tournament with my friends and I came back from fighting him and my buddies are with me. They're and my buddies are with me. They're like, "How'd it go?" And I'm like, "I lost to him by 10 points." They're like, "Oh my god." Like, you got that close to beating Keith Owen, but it was on NBA break. Fast break. I was fast break. I was Fast break. I was fast break. I was going to say that as a joke. Did I I I didn't let them know what game, but I I didn't let them know what game, but it was fast break. We lost to him by 10. Only 10 points. 10 points, man. 10 points, man. Could you imagine saying 100 points? Could you imagine saying 100 points? Yeah. I mean, it probably was points. I Yeah. I mean, it probably was points. I don't think Oh, man. That game is a a funny quirky Oh, man. That game is a a funny quirky uh game. Uh that's the only one where can happen. Oh, I love that game. Speaking of Oh, I love that game. Speaking of another game where it's like you want to uh only do uh the combo things or whatever, like let's let's only do the pop bumper let's let's only do the pop bumper feature thing. Yeah, love that game. love that game. We're slowly starting to fill the studio We're slowly starting to fill the studio at internet. If you come to Storm for the tour, um we're we're like finding all of our old titles cuz for a while there, we didn't have like any of our games at the studio. It's really weird. But now we're like really starting to pack in like all of like Stern's older catalog, but we do have some of Gomez's games too like tucked away that I'm sure we'll bring out also. Yeah. And fun fact with our uh our Yeah. And fun fact with our uh our conference rooms are all named after solid state stern games and we try to have those games in those and we try to have those games in those rooms. Yeah. So big game has a big game. Yeah. So big game has a big game. Yep. Then we got Cheetah which actually Yep. Then we got Cheetah which actually has like a starting pinball in it right now. Okay. Okay. Um but Flight 2000 Um but Flight 2000 Flight 2000 has Tanya's Flight 2000. Flight 2000 has Tanya's Flight 2000. Um Um and then there's a nineball in Big Game. and then there's a nineball in Big Game. Oh, and we're starting Chaos. Oh, okay. Look. Oh no. Oh, okay. Look. Oh no. Oh, get that C. Get the C. Oh, get that C. Get the C. The C shot also is kind of difficult for The C shot also is kind of difficult for me, I think. I Oh, what a But not as hard as the O. But not as hard as the O. Not as hard as the O, but jeez. All Not as hard as the O, but jeez. All right, that was it was Oh, what the backhand the C just for the little funs of fun of it. All right, now we're going for H, which All right, now we're going for H, which is the T-Rex. Sometimes that can be hard. Get Sometimes that can be hard. Get I mean O, get the A. I mean O, get the A. All right, Benny, get the O. All right, Benny, get the O. Uh, that's fine. You keep your progress Uh, that's fine. You keep your progress across balls, of course. So, if you were here earlier, we were discussing some of the hardest shots of Keith's games. And the shot that he has to make right now, we would probably consider one of the hardest shots that he's put on a pinball machine. This is that far right orbit. This is that far right orbit. But I I appreciate it cuz if you make it But I I appreciate it cuz if you make it any wider than the right ramp is even harder to hit. So, it it it's for a good reason. Good ski Pat. Oh, he's trying to get it Good ski Pat. Oh, he's trying to get it on the fly, which might actually be easier. That was first a first. shot at the O That was first a first. shot at the O and the S. Get it. Now I has to hit the stand up target, which also is not an easy shot. which also is not an easy shot. Oh no. Oh Oh no. Oh holy moly. holy moly. All right. I would say the C is not as All right. I would say the C is not as hard as he made it out to be. It just nails the three hardest shots in It just nails the three hardest shots in the I think I think the S is harder than the C for one. Okay. Okay. You know, so to get nails the O combos You know, so to get nails the O combos into the S and then one shots the standard. Beautiful. And the fact that he Beautiful. And the fact that he backhanded that C too was pretty pretty incredible. Yeah, you're right. You're right. That that was the beginning of the end for him in a good way. All right. So, that that was an All right. So, that that was an incredible time. Let's see what Neil can get up to. If Neil wins this round, internet, this here, this game is him eliminating Keith if he can beat 1 minute and 14 seconds. But if he loses, he'll have choice on But if he loses, he'll have choice on the next round. So, it will be in his favor. Although, uh Although, uh I think his favor is to win. I think his favor is to win. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So, he goes right hand. All All right. So, he goes right hand. All right. All right. What do you got with that C? All right. What do you got with that C? Good dead bounce. Good dead bounce. Oh. Uh, yeah. We're feeling like a Oh. Uh, yeah. We're feeling like a little little tight rattle. Oh, I thought that was going to bounce in there. Nice. Nice. Dead bounce. Dead bounce. All right. Excellent. All right. Excellent. Okay. Free. You got this, bud. Oh, Okay. Free. You got this, bud. Oh, from a trap. from a trap. Yeah, the backhand seems to be on the Yeah, the backhand seems to be on the fly. Easy. You got the back hand. All right. So, the H up the T-Rex ramp All right. So, the H up the T-Rex ramp on the left. The oddest shot in the game. The oddest shot in the game. It Yes. Thank you. It Yes. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. All right. I mean, the easiest shot on All right. I mean, the easiest shot on me. Never mind. Uh, whatever. Oh, now we need the A, which is the Oh, now we need the A, which is the right ramp can be tricky. I I do think the right can be tricky. I I do think the right ramp is easier from from the fly. I like shooting it from from a combo, but Keith nailed it without thinking but Keith nailed it without thinking about it. Yeah. Well, it was like he just Yeah. Well, it was like he just willedled it up there. Hey, good nudge. Hey, good nudge. Yeah, really good nudge. He gave a bump Yeah, really good nudge. He gave a bump on that. There's a a There's a a I love I love I wouldn't have used that upper flipper I wouldn't have used that upper flipper there. I think that's Well, no. If you if you miss it, that's Well, no. If you if you miss it, that's a center drain if you let it go. Okay. Okay. All right. Now, now the toughest shot in All right. Now, now the toughest shot in pinball. Oh, get up there. Oh, get up there. Still early. Still early. All right. He's got 4 seconds left. All right. He's got 4 seconds left. Could you imagine? Could you imagine? Oh, that's it. All right. So, he takes Oh, that's it. All right. So, he takes this one. Wait. Well, you take your time here. Wait. Well, you take your time here. Let's shoot that out. Get He he saw it the second he that rejected He he saw it the second he that rejected him again. He's like, I I It's being the O. It's being the O. The easiest shot. Actually, I'll tell The easiest shot. Actually, I'll tell you how to hit the O. The easiest way to shoot the O is to when it comes around that right is to when it comes around that right orbit and you hold the flipper up and it it just like repeats it, you like and it it just like repeats it, you like drop catch it. I remember when that happened on the I remember when that happened on the first live stream we did of that. Everyone thought that that was supposed Everyone thought that that was supposed to happen. It's not designed to do that. It's just some of the games that happen. It's just some of the games that happen. Most of the games I I most I play does Most of the games I I most I play does that. Now, the problem though, to get that feed, you have to hit the O. You have to Exactly. You have to Exactly. So, So, I was just going to say, wait, in order I was just going to say, wait, in order to get that or Yeah. Yeah. Ironically, it is. It's Yeah. Yeah. Ironically, it is. It's really easy to get the O twice if you need the double O. if you need the double O. Double. Yeah. Right there. O. Pause. Double. Yeah. Right there. O. Pause. All right. We're rolling over to All right. We're rolling over to Apparently, I'm backwards here. Apparently, I'm backwards here. Uh, well, we're not playing JS. Uh, well, we're not playing JS. Not playing Metallica. Looks like we're going to Bond. Looks like we're going to Bond. Not playing D and D. Tons of Tons of fun would be a good one. I would do fun would be a good one. I would do jetpack, I think. Okay. Just because that's one that I I Just because that's one that I I normally go for in my regular game. Scoop to left orbit a couple of times. Scoop to left orbit a couple of times. Yeah. Yeah. And I kind of need the uh the uh luck And I kind of need the uh the uh luck factor a little bit so that um Well, yeah, because it's the fidelity of Well, yeah, because it's the fidelity of the ejects that's the luck. Um, but I feel like I would, you know, if I'm playing against someone like Neil, I'm like, I need that luck. Yeah, no doubt. You can see above Yeah, no doubt. You can see above Elizabeth's head the timer going down there on a Metallica. Oh, reaching 30 seconds. Oh, reaching 30 seconds. Had a solid 30 seconds there. Had a solid 30 seconds there. We just commentate on it on just the We just commentate on it on just the Look at that timer. Right. Look at that timer. Right. I'm sure he's doing something. I can't I'm sure he's doing something. I can't tell what it is. Uh, shout out to Mountain Dew. Thanks, Mountain Dew. Do the do. Yeah. Yeah. Just just do it. Just just do it. All right. Just All right. Just wait. That's a different wait. That's a different Just do it. That's good. Wait. Oh, no. Just do it. That's good. Wait. Oh, no. We're going to get sued. Um, so yeah, We're going to get sued. Um, so yeah, Stern Pro Circuit Finals, 32 players, 20 different events that culminated into everyone being here today. Um, and we are on X-Men. Hey, I know some things about somebody Hey, I know some things about somebody that X-Men. The uncanniest of X-Men. All right, so The uncanniest of X-Men. All right, so start Sentinel Multiball. This one is the uh one of the easier objectives I would say on these lists. Yes, it just beat the absolute crap out of it just beat the absolute crap out of the Sentinel's head. Yes, Yes, that magnet in front of the Sentinel can that magnet in front of the Sentinel can screw that ball up a little bit as you saw there. It's not going to come back down clean. One more. Two more. One more. Two more. We're almost there. We're almost there. There you go. That's it. Turn around. There you go. That's it. Turn around. Clap it. 37 seconds. I think it's six shots total 37 seconds. I think it's six shots total to start the multiball. That's pretty fast. This is going to be That's pretty fast. This is going to be one of those that time. It It might come down to the how quickly can you hit that button, get your hands on the timer there. get your hands on the timer there. Um, but that that was a pretty clean. He got some uh lucky uh magnet throws. Um, and then yeah, some nice back hands at that. I do like the uh the comic book feel. Jeremy, th this game's freaking Jeremy, th this game's freaking beautiful. I love Jeremy just as a person. That I love Jeremy just as a person. That guy. Oh, he you can't have a serious Oh, he you can't have a serious conversation. That was what I was going to say. I'm That was what I was going to say. I'm like, it can be like a gate review and he's like and he does this pause where he's like, "Yeah, so and you think he's going to say something thoughtful or or profound or or profound or or serious?" or serious?" No, it's like a fart joke. No, it's like a fart joke. It is. Yes. And flatulence. Uh, and we It is. Yes. And flatulence. Uh, and we need more of that. Yeah, Yeah, we need more that. Love we need more that. Love he he keeps it light-hearted at work and he he keeps it light-hearted at work and uh it is very much appreciated. Yeah. Yeah. Shout out. And he's he's got Yeah. Yeah.
