TL;DR

Streamer plays Stern 2002 Playboy VPin, discusses variants and identifies code bugs in v1.0 release.

Summary

A lengthy gameplay stream of the Stern 2002 Playboy pinball machine in virtual pinball (VPin) format. The streamer discusses the game's history, multiple versions across manufacturers, customization options (PG vs. nude artwork), rule mechanics (strip poker, mansion mania multiball), and identifies several bugs in the v1.0 code implementation. The machine is characterized as a "guilty pleasure" with appeal based on theme rather than depth of gameplay.

    • 3:09
    I think there's a bunch of YouTubes on this table. It came with a pack. It came with kind of this PG-rated playfield.
    3:23
    There's certain things like there's a girl behind the peek-a-boo, which you can't see because I changed the view. There's a girl behind the magazine. There's girls in this thing. And then there's a T's like a peekaboo up there.
    3:39
    So there's all kinds of different things here. Let's see. Yeah, everything's good. But then they also, in the pack, you would buy it if you had it at home and you were like a bachelor and you didn't give an F. You could change all the artwork for nude art. And it's basically like, you know, Playboy style nude, which is, you know.
    4:05
    Your mileage may vary how tasteful you think it is. So this particular V-Pen has both options. In fact, the guys who built this, they got a play field that some of the artwork wasn't high enough quality for the scan. So they ended up going out and finding all the Playboy pictures on the Internet and then substituting the real pictures into the play field so the pictures could be better. and then they also added like three different packs of nudity um that you uh can enable now i have that all disabled for this stream um but uh what you'll see here there's a centerfold shot too what you'll see there is a centerfold will open up uh check out jack danger he did a a stream maybe in 2017 from a local bar after hugh hefner passed away he did a stream with um stern uh this Playboy's turn. So it's actually pretty cool. It's actually really nice. It's like looking like some weird guy playing a Playboy machine. But let's play.
    5:14
    I think that's fine. I don't know. You guys let me know if it's too loud. All right. So what's the object of Playboy? Well, it's to collect Playmates and I think get to like play Mansion Mania. Yeah, you collect all the Playboys to get Mansion Mania, which is a multiball. There are a couple of multiballs. I think one of them is this, shoot this center ramp three times in the beginning and then you get a centerfold multiball. I don't know, let's find out the other ones. I know you can play strip poker if you just hit this ramp. So you hit this ramp a million times and you end up taking the girls, all the girls close off i don't know the thing about this is it's uh it's a 1.0 version i don't think they have everything quite dialed in yet um so it will eventually get more dialed in this flipper i can kind of i can kind of shoot that ramp with this backhand flipper like forever uh skill shot is if you don't full plunge if you skill shot you open the magazine so let's see if i can get the magazine open with a skill shot. There we go.
    6:25
    Boom. Magazine's open. But of course she's not naked because this is not the naked. There's a hurry up.
    6:32
    Wow. That's a good first ball. Alright, let's do it again. Now that wasn't a skill shot, but I want to get the ball in play. let's see if we why is it so hard to hit there we go you open it up and then you shoot it okay this this should be wine actually all right ball three of the worst game of playboy ever i played this in austin And I played it for a while Because it's a long player I got to Mansion Mania and all that other stuff And It's a long playing game It's not super hard That's kind of cool Right now for me The flips do weird things They don't do the things that I'm expecting them to do They're not doing a thing And they also They're flipped Way up high Like those Friggin Gottlieb games Two more to light Centerfold Why am I always missing that? It feels Alright Next game Here we go Now we're gonna do it Now I'll show you how to play There's this little door back there I don't know if you can see it Yeah, you can see it It raises up as you hit pops You also have to collect bunnies And I'm not really sure what the bunnies are for You see the rotational It's all clean right now It's all clean stuff If you download the V-Pen You have the option to get rid of the clean stuff And swap it out for all the dirty stuff Here you go, here's the hurry up. Boom. 84. Good stuff. So let's do strip T since that's like strip poker. It's like the one shot I can make over and over again. We're going to win our first game of strip poker Ready?
    9:12
    Sure, let's play Oh, I have to initiate playing I have a straight flush She has two pair, Aces and Kings Which would normally win I won her shirt So apparently This is not High Roller Casino Where it's almost impossible to win A friggin casino game Here you can win...
    9:38
    It's super easy. Barely an inconvenience. Now I could stand here and shoot this all day. I got a flush? A royal? A straight? A flush! Not a straight flush. 9, 10, jack... no, I didn't get a straight flush. There are the pants! We have a pajama hurry up at the grotto when you collect 4 playmates. And I missed the grotto but I can hit the grotto from this shot right here. Nope. I can, trust me. Ugh. Or I can trade. Let's find that shot again because the grotto shot is actually pretty easy. Wow, 415 million is a huge bonus in this apparently. Let's open that magazine and get that skill shot. Too much. And if you let it drain there, that's it. Ball's over. Hitting the grotto is your mystery award.
    10:42
    Triple jackpot is lit. Shoot, lit, shot. What shot is that? Splash. That is a tough shot to hit. Nope, missed it.
    10:53
    That'll give me one point crazy. darn go for it i missed it oh shoot 1.2 million on the table that's a that's a huge score on this actually let's go for our second centerfold the story to the centerfold is that the the playmate is driving she doesn't care about driving she puts her makeup on and then she uh gets into an accident with the other dude. I don't... Trust me, I don't... I don't even know why that's a thing in this game. Like, why would you...
    11:30
    I mean, they're only naked. Why are you insulting their intelligence also? Alright. I feel like just going up to strip poker, like the whole... Like, just hit that ramp over and over and over again to get to strip poker. Oh, stop it. Come on, then. Shoot it. Here we go, more strip poker.
    12:03
    I got three aces. I need one more card. Three of a kind, she gets... Four of a kind. Your turn to take off something? Yeah right Hang on while I take my shirt off Yeah no Well actually I'm wearing two t-shirts So I'm okay That's hilarious I've never seen me lose Grotto Plus three on the bonus Cool Now here's the thing about the The center full multiball though It is an easy Shot to To make But it's a dangerous shot on the table right See that? Oh Wow, that tilt bob just went, didn't it? By the way, you see my tilt cam? This does actually tilt I'm proving it by showing you the tilt cam Oh, I matched! Free game! Alright, let's do it, let's do it Let's try and collect all the playmates It's weird, I start with 50, or with 8 with eight bunnies already. Like, you start with eight bunnies off the bat. How do I get eight bunnies already?
    13:23
    And every time you roll over a bunny, you get more bunnies. So, let's see. There's your hurry up. $100,000 is pretty decent for this game.
    13:35
    As far as... There's no ball save. Man, last night, the first time I played, I actually almost got through all the playmates.
    13:47
    That just sounds wrong. I almost got through all the playmates. I almost got through all the magazines. You're collecting magazines. You're not collecting playmates.
    14:01
    Just what I needed, huh? All right. Of course, the lanes up your bonus and open the script T's window up there. Oh, man. These slings are not being nice to me today. Sorry.
    14:25
    Alright, I'm going to concentrate on playing. I got three Playmates done. Or I collected three... Three centerfold magazines.
    14:35
    Three magazines. It's amazing how I'm not able to hit that friggin' target And up we go Nope Come on Maybe if I rip myself I'll get something Alright
    15:07
    The girls are waiting. plunger is too sensitive. WLIT There's a hurry up over there. There's a peekaboo.
    16:06
    I feel like these flippers are too steep. I feel like they come up too much. Oh a ball save I don remember there ever being a ball save in this I got...
    16:41
    Centerfold multiball is lit. All I have to do is hit it! Oh my! There she is. There's the centerfold. So if you guys look, you can see the center pole. Boom, jackpot. 250. I am supposed to hit that shot again. Got it. Double jackpot. 500k. Shoot the drop target. I can't because the balls are done.
    17:27
    I feel like this isn't the way that this is supposed to go down. I feel like it's supposed to know there's two balls there. See, it's ball searching now, which... That's not right.
    17:41
    It actually moves my flippers. Wow. Looking for pinballs is not correct. Yeah. They let one go. Alright, that was it. I feel like that... The code is not exactly right yet.
    18:11
    Because that didn't make any sense. Back to the grotto. Alright, let us keep going through... Ugh. Alright, that was a decent baller.
    18:48
    This reminds me a little bit of Austin Powers. It's kind of in the same era. Oh, that's it? Huh? Okay.
    19:03
    It's kind of in the same era of Austin Powers. Ah! It's murder this game. So you collect... I see. You collect them just by collecting... Just by collecting the bunnies.
    19:37
    Thank you, George. I just tilted too so you could see the... I figured I would just embrace the virtual thing by capturing now I'm capturing the back glass capturing the DMD but I'm also giving you a view of the full cabinet just embrace the whole idea that this is not real pinball. You know, and not so that I don't have people showing up going Oh, that's an actual drain! There's no ball save. I wonder if there's a ball save on here.
    20:29
    I want to see if there's a ball save. Let's see. Adjustments. Standard. What do you think a ball save would be?
    20:52
    I usually go backwards. Consolation ball. It's not consolation ball. No. Competition mode. Coindor ball saver. Not sure what that is.
    21:05
    I'm pretty sure, George, you're not too familiar with the with an old uh sam rom these are sam roms these are old stern sam time plunger wait what did that say i thought i saw ball save uk post save a post save only in the uk freeze time background bill validator extra ball memory extra ball percentage game restart knocker volume i don't think free play is definitely on high score initials high scores four three two one allow high scores credit limit replay boost tilt warnings one tilt warning that should be two
    22:02
    1, 3, or 0. Alright. Whoops. Let's just go forward. Replay levels. Game, extra ball. Balls per game.
    22:24
    3. Tilt warnings. Okay. Alright. I guess I have to take it the way it is. I was looking for a ball save.
    22:48
    Uh-oh. Something's wrong. Alright, here we go. I need to just the plunger. Because I can't get the skill shot anymore. Plunger's either too soft or too hard.
    23:08
    Yeah. It's too sensitive. I can do that later. See, it's either too soft... Ah! Forget it. I'm just going to full plunge. Phone the neighbors, wake the kids, we're playing Stirred Playboy. I could just collect Playmates this way.
    24:13
    Four of a kind. Her hand. Three of a kind. The impossible odds of this game. Let's just get through strip poker.
    24:26
    Because that way I can collect a bunny each time. So you have to build your hand up after a while 5, 6, 7, 8 of spades Straight flush Two pair Jackson 10s would definitely win Alright So far so good We're making progress
    25:00
    Then it gets caught in the slings and sends it out caught me it caught me cheating Full plunge because we're not trying that skill shot
    25:19
    That's all starting to sound like xenon That's stolen from What is that game that I like? A little more to the right. Big Bang Bar.
    25:48
    He didn't come here to watch that kind of crappy play. Alright. Here's the big game. Girls are waiting.
    26:19
    What is the deal here? Oh my god, get off of them slings! There we go. Let's go for the grotto. I like just collecting them up and down the lane. What's in the grotto?
    26:57
    Extra ball, I'll take it. I'll take a free extra ball. Got it. Triple jackpot is lit. Up the middle. Oh, tees? Was that the jackpot? No, splash.
    27:27
    Dang it. Nope. It's the second time I blew that shot. Get up there. A little more to the left, a little more to the right. Stand up, sit down, fight, fight, fight.
    28:13
    But no dangers. Shoot again, ball one, alright cool. It's getting harder and harder to make this skill shot.
    28:34
    Got it. Oh well. Jackpot, hurry up, right here, whoop! Pajamas? Pajamas, hurry up. Pajamas. Oh. $3.50 for pajama.
    29:07
    Pajama party multiball. Drop target. Mmm. It went behind the drop target. Oh my god. I can't hit the friggin' drop target. How impossible is this that I'm not hitting... There we go.
    29:36
    Oh, and I'm in photo. I'm in photo, too. One more photo. Dang it Alright, are we still in photos? That was one bad flip Playing Corvette Why you play this? Oh, Corvette Such a good game Lucky you Playing Corvette right now I wish Hopefully my second This was my first wish game. This is my bad wish.
    30:28
    This is my terrible wish game. But my big wish game is Corvette. Seriously. Yeah, let's play. Sure. I got a straight flush. I'm pretty good at poker. So you got aces over kings with a jack. It's like you bet your house on that hand. You don't expect the other person to pull out I'm gonna friggin' straight flush. Oh, there's an extra ball, I should get it.
    31:06
    Photo shoot time. Photo shoot, you just gotta shoot the photo shots that are all over the table. So here's one.
    31:21
    Here's one. There's one. Splash is one. I think Orbit is... That was no way out of that one. Oh! How did I get a ball save?
    31:45
    I guess... I guess there are ball save opportunities in this game. Centerfold? Why would she say that? Why would she say, I was in a hurry and I'm in a centerfold?
    32:16
    Damn. Can I get my replay? Still one ball two. Got 15. So that's a replay score in here. 15. multiple oh you suck by you suck I mean I suck three up hurry up on the left ramp about a million
    33:05
    That is not the left ramp Boom No, shouldn't it play Da na na na na na Na na na na na na One gone. Now this is where it gets stuck because it doesn't understand that I've already drained one of the balls. It's saying shoot the drop target, but I can't.
    33:51
    So they need to fix this. Splash total. At least you get to look at the centerfold for a little bit.
    34:25
    587 is a pretty dang good jackpot for this game. Grotto! Nope. How about now? How about grotto?
    34:44
    I do too. A million in the grotto! It's always worth it. See what's hanging out in the grotto. So we're up to Miss November. Four of a kind. She's got freaking aces over queens, full house, and I still won. Alright, we're getting close. I'm in Mansion Mania. I've collected all my magazines. Photo shoot, peekaboo, magazine, everything is lit.
    35:27
    Pajama party is lit. Special is lit. Shoot everything. Okay, I'm down to two, so I should trap. Oh, that was weird. What? What are you counting for? Did you lose the number of balls again?
    36:29
    Couple of peek-a-boos. That's good. Oh, all the way around, huh? Okay. 36! Wow! Ugh! There we go. Nice. That's a quick collect of three centerfolds. I feel like going up this ramp some more so I can finish strip poker.
    37:13
    Okay, that was good. Darn. Special! 250. Let's see how far we get with this shot here. I'm a flush. Four of a kind. She beats me.
    37:42
    Time for you to take something off. Oh, no. Not happening. I'm a cheater. Let's just say I'm a cheater. What's in the grotto?
    37:53
    Million in the grotto. I will take that million. I'm loving that ramp right now. I got a 910 of diamonds.
    38:08
    Jack Queen of diamonds. Oh, crap. Oh, boy. Give me my hand. Oh, I got a straight shot. Ooh. Last night a DJ said my life was a song Alright, it happened here on Twitch, sorry Digital boobies What's up Wax?
    38:38
    Upside the pandemic, we didn't have to wait another year for all these tables to come out Yeah I really appreciate that they did this table, but it's totally not finished. And there are some bugs I already found.
    39:02
    It loses the ball on the center-flow multiball. It loses track of one ball. Drop target. Oh! That was a good run.
    39:52
    This is my second run through the Playmates. Digital art boobies are supposed to be okay, but photo realistic boobies aren't.
    40:08
    That's the first time I ever had boobies on my stream. I mean, you know, not... I mean, uncovered boobies.
    40:16
    Straight. What does she got? One pair. That's it. She's got me naked now. Yep. It just happened.
    40:34
    You're welcome, Internet. What else would they do? They had to do it, right? They had to be like, well, if we're going to have a game of strip poker, and she loses...
    40:50
    I think that's it, though. I think that's as far as we can go through in strip poker. But the thing is, we've basically finished the table. Everything has been done.
    41:09
    I think with the exception of maybe peekaboo, Well, let's do photo shoot again Sure Five more These photo shoots get harder Oh, boy Right up there
    41:35
    Oh That was me I totally goobered that yeah 5.6 million ah if Conan can have dongs flailing we can have this yeah you know what I gotta say I never got I never finished a strip tease before because I never bothered to hit the ramp that much Yeah, I'll take it It's, yeah Digital boobs And all that neat stuff What a cheap way to end my last Friggin' ball I almost got through the playmates again
    42:32
    Well, thank you Guess what? Guess who's going to get to be blamed for this one? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
    42:54
    Once again. It's all your fault. It wasn't me. Let me see. Let's try one more. I'm going to do one more. This is super fun. This is version 1.0 of Playboy by Stern. um alright version 1.0 Playboy by Stern Wax I had to do a few things before you even got to this table I had to do a few things I had to obviously have to change the inclination and everything for when I play here so that's why you can't see the apron art I actually changed the X scale Y scale because my pin is super pin size and most of these tables are scaled to a standard size. So I end up having to make circles look like circles again because it's usually stretched. The other thing I had to do was I had to raise the flippers because they were literally hanging. The play field was here and the flippers were split, like dipped out. The only way I could see that is when I went into VR, I was like, why are the flippers so low? The ball was here and the flippers only came up about half of the ball. What else did I have to change?
    44:19
    I still have the futz with the plunger Because these guys who are making plunger code Are not making the plunger sit against the ball And when you have a real plunger I have to do that almost to every table Move the plunger a little closer to the ball I don't know why, but for some reason They don't make it so that the plunger sits on the ball So when you do a very light plunge, like that, it just doesn't touch the ball at all. So it's a little weird.
    44:55
    Oh, that's how you light photo shoot. Okay. I never knew how you could light photo shoot. Oh, that was a shat.
    45:13
    Let's go for that centerfold. This game is so... I know, I've been making plungers. Yeah. What is the deal?
    45:24
    What is the deal? What? I mean, I'm being kind of a baby right now because I've bought all this crap to augment VP.
    45:36
    So the deal is a lot of people can't or don't want to bother buying all this garbage and you can't make everything work for your hardware. Just because I have an analog plunger doesn't mean that everyone else should code to my analog plunger. I understand that, but it's like... You know, I'm used to... Somebody asked me the other day. They were like, hey... It was another... I think it might have been Caviel or somebody. Said something like, hey, do you have to... Ah, it's going out. I knew it. The others don't always have or test in pin cabs. Yeah, they don't know.
    46:17
    I really wish I could do pin cab work. I wish I could do VPX work. Because I would not only build it here, but I'd look at it in VR to make sure that everything looks good.
    46:31
    The only other way to do it is to go into F6 and change your inclination and make sure everything... know just look at the table in the 3D view on an F6 and make sure everything looks good. I mean that's the only way I can imagine doing it. Was her name April? Splash! I like the grotto! Million in the grotto is always a good, good score. Color orange! I didn't even notice it. Why does the color orange suit... George, you missed Digital Boobies.
    47:37
    We played... We played strip poker a bunch and we got to Digital Boobies. I'll do it again. All you have to do is spam the left ramp a million times. Oh, that was a terrible game. Alright, let's do one more. Orange to be consistent with the color of the pin Oh My door is locked Micah came in for a second I was like, this is not for you, bro He's like, why is it not for me? It's not for you Oh, color white It's just orange, yellow Yeah You're seriously making me want to buy the new Hue Lights The better color response Hue Lights Because I can't get all the colors that I want
    48:43
    Color gold Is that a real color? Yeah It looks pretty gold George I cannot say this enough Thank you for writing this stuff It's Just amazing man I don't go a single day Using RoboXopus Thinking you know that this was In any way easy Or you know It's Freakin' awesome.
    49:21
    I love that the night after I stream, I come into my office in the next morning and I turn on my hue lights and they stay the same color as they were during the stream And I like oh no Come on give it back Please, thank you.
    49:42
    Ah, crap. That was terrible. Oh, it gave it back to me one more time. One, two, two. Alright, not the greatest multiball but... LOL you're playing a virtual pinball game thanking me something simple like turning off your lights. One man's trash is another man's treasure. You know that right? You know that, right? Get back up in the grotto. Give me those free things. Freebies.
    50:29
    Million. So I will say this. The photos that they chose for the nude version of this are actually quite tasteful.
    50:46
    I mean, by rated R standards, they're quite tasteful. I mean, they're 1980s... like 1980s Playboy. So... Look, at least this isn't a Hustler-based table.
    51:07
    Larry Flint, you know what I mean? Alright, we're at strip poker again Look at me, I'm pulling out a straight Oh! That's a heartbreak straight right there I pulled out a nine of hearts Or nine of spades, nine of whatever Whatever I couldn't tell if it was a heart or a spade Let's collect those playmates, I might miss August What's in the grotto? 3x more to my bonus To my bonus Ooh That was nasty I wish you guys could see the peekaboo But then again it's really not worth it So up there There's action too but Not a lot of action Crap Extra ball is lit and I won it!
    52:19
    Extra ball! The best extra ball callout ever is Attack of Mars though. That's still my favorite extra ball. You smack that male alien in the side of the face.
    52:36
    And you get that extra ball. Let's go for that centerfold multi-ball again. Crap. Oh! How dare you! There we go. What's up, Faye? On the fly, extra ball.
    53:04
    Wax, how's the weekend? Faye, do you want to see digital boobs? I've yet to play this game. I need to get my virtual reality little physical pen so I can learn all these games. Always.
    53:20
    Here we go. We'll spam the strip poker right after multi ball and you can check out your centerfold right there.
    53:39
    It really should play that. This is where it loses the ball again. Wax, check this out. I drained a ball in multi-ball. I shot two where it needs to be.
    54:01
    Either the game, I don't think it's the ROM, the game doesn't know that I drained a ball. It's ball searching now. This happens consistently, so these guys have to fix that.
    54:16
    You're mistaking. Stop spamming emotes. Warning. Oh, Faye got timed out? Oh, no! I need to mod Faye.
    54:30
    I need to fix it so that Faye doesn't get timed out when he wants to emote a ton. George, is that something that a mod could do? Could you fix it so Faye can't get timed out on emotes or whatever?
    54:48
    Ah, I could have saved that. 11 emotes. Alright, Faye, this is for you. We're going to spam the strip poker thing.
    55:02
    Wait, we got a pajama. Hurry up. Gotta shoot the grotto. Now we got pajama party multi-ball. All you do is hit that drop target in the middle as many times as you can.
    55:21
    Or if you can at all. I can't seem to hit the stupid... Target. Wait, here we go. Hit it. Got it. Hit the crate. Hurry. Hit the crate.
    55:51
    Oh, my balls are all over this table. Oh man! I will re-chat in a minute. Oh, everybody out of the pool.
    56:17
    I don't think the game knows I'm not in multiball anymore. Wait. It thinks... Yeah, stuck ball. Oh, that sucked. What?
    56:41
    The ball was stuck in the stupid scoop. I think I started Mansion Mania. I think I just failed out of Mansion Mania.
    56:54
    Oh, all my centerfolds are gone. This, it's still, it's still buggy. Alright. That sucks. It's still buggy.
    57:09
    Let me see if I can get, uh... Let's get, uh, face some digital boobies. Raptor shot. Four of a kind. Beat it. She gets trip aces and I still beat her. We're getting close.
    57:33
    Blink and you'll miss it. Let's see. I saw that ball go into VUK about 10 years ago. I'm not surprised at all by the way. So I added this pin. So do you like this pin for the articles? I actually posted that on VP forums when they were like, hey, we're making Playboy by Stern. I said, oh yeah, I want to check it out. You know, for the articles, of course. But that's Wolfman's joke, actually. That's still Wolfman's joke.
    58:12
    Alright, if Faye is still here, we're close. We're close. Four of a kind. Can she beat it? One pair. What do we get? Faye, look, don't miss it Oh my god Somebody clip that Wait, it gets better Of course, we have one more to go We have one more to go
    58:48
    We have one more to go, buddy Look, I'm getting... It's making me get one card at a time now. I'm close, though. I have 8, 9, 10 of diamonds. 8, 9, 10 jack of diamonds.
    58:58
    And she's probably going to win. Here we go. Nope, she loses. Pay attention. Here it comes. This is the dumbest game ever. That's it. That's the last time we do that. Boy, that was trust. Twelve year old me can't handle this. Oh no! Oh, I was punished. by the digital bush and that's ball too oh my god hey look in the back there's another one back there i don't know if you guys can see it's hard to see that back there but that's like a it's like a window that reveals another thing and then there's of course you know i've been getting i haven't been getting this shot but you can um let me use a button There we go You can open the magazine And then these start spinning around Boom 125 Grotto Boom Back in a minute Okay Go for a hike I'm gonna finish this ball And I'm gonna close this up This is uh It's a fun little table to beat up on Simple simple rules I would never own it in a million years It's just no game here But it's not about the game This one right I put this in the same class as Supreme Right You would never own it because you love pinball You'd own it because you just kind of Want some kind of... Oh, that was just awful.
    61:12
    Oh my gosh, what was that? Dinner's ready. Have fun. See you guys. I'm gonna see if I can get over 56 and then call it a day.
    61:25
    Come on, come on. Wait, dinner? You have dinner at 5 o'clock, George? That's an early dinner. Own it for the boob... The what? Own it for the boob slash butt wire forms. Oh really? Is that...
    62:00
    That is... That's a thing? I never noticed that. I can't unsee it now. There we go. I can't unsee that. All I see is a butt here.
    62:32
    Oh, crap. Come on, let's get higher than 56. Oh! Oh well. 50 something. 52. Alright. This I'll take. This will be mine.
    63:00
    Hooray for me. Score number two. Oh. Oh, wait. But I can't be the winner, right? This will be Fae. Did Fae just knock you out, Wax? Just look at return ramps. There is no reason for them to be shaped that way.
    63:30
    I think you're so right. Oh my god, that's so crazy. I never noticed it. Oh, man. alright so that will do it for me here with Playboy I hope you like the new layout the tilt cam yeah I think I might stick with this layout for a little bit while I'm home and with that you guys have a great day you guys have a great rest of the weekend I'll probably stream something tomorrow maybe, maybe not, not sure I'm still going through your tables wax so we'll figure out what's going on I'm still installing them it's taking a long time but they're awesome anyway, buh-bye
    64:33
    Thank you.
