all right everyone how are you doing out there in the internet land it's been a challenging day to say the least here we've had a lot of issues with classic games so we're running quite late and I am light on crew because of the classic Target match play tournament so right now it's just gonna be me and I'll be jumping around and I have a couple people coming in hopefully soon but for now let's get to the first game why don't we all right so we got nine ball and this is gonna be a short game unfortunately with Paul Arvid Tim and Sean they are the second seated group here so this is the classics Target match play tournament we need to reach 30 points um to finish the tournament the first player to reach 30. wins no finals no playoffs just straight to 30. and I'm looking at commentators are starting to get ready here I'm trying to see which Mikey Oh no you're the other one all right all right test test oh there we go hello oh are you too hot I'm good I'm good I think so that that works out for me all right is this Tim Sexton this is on nine ball this is Tim sex in a nine ball the legendary Tim Sexton so that monitor right there yep has a telestrator that one does not okay all right I know you're you're sitting in the wrong chair but yeah it's fine it's a no oh what a day what a day a good first day so far though you've done a great job Carl I think good good and the crew and it's Gourmet is well yeah well so I'm Carl I'm Ron Richards and Ron works for Scorpion right I do yes I'm one of me and Jay Adelson and Brian O'Neill are the co-founders of scorebit and we are super excited to be a sponsor and have scorebit installed in 20 machines at the tournament very awesome okay hold on we'll let Carl do his thing as we watched him so I met him a few years ago in New York City before he moved to Chicago and he's a very good player much better than I as you can see here as he uh he traps up another ball in nine ball now I do got to say that this old solid states in the classics are my one of my favorite like type of machine to play because while they seem simple at some part they can also be like simply complex Like An Elegant complex which I appreciate all right sorry still got admin work here yeah you got to do what you got to do and uh what's going on with the I don't know it looks like there's some some sort of issue he chopped up a ball and I guess they're looking for a an official Stucky balls Stucky ball somewhere huh see let's see if I can get this working um I don't know if it's gonna work we'll find out there we go nope that's not gonna work nope that's old never mind on that just ignore that happened just forget about it I thought it was working but didn't drop down two balls in the lock yeah I don't know I don't know why I stopped but Tim trying to get that uh that skill shot up there the arrow which instantly maxes out the spinner and that's unfortunate for for Tim he had three lights on the spinner good value but just that single tap on it right reduces it back down to nothing all right if anyone wants to follow along on standings there at neverdrains.com 2022 or you can go to indus.com and click on the live standings link we are currently in round nine and the top player Andrew Foster has 20 points Tim starts to multiball there it is and excellent use of the Center Post there Andy's also got an extra ball and this game is set to play EB as you can see that on the back glass dude I'm getting barrage now that that loop around in the upper left-hand corner is one of my favorite you know kind of elements of a solid state of a classics because not only is this so much fun to hit but it also gives you such velocity when it comes back around that loop around but it can be pretty tough on our multiballs we just saw with Tim where that kind of started the drain but with that ball even before the extra ball that puts him well into first place here after two balls with bonus he's now 650 470. and as Carl mentioned he gets to play that extra ball now with my luck normally in tournament play uh what happened to Tim is exactly I plunged the extra ball and then immediately drained but it's a gimme anyhow so after two balls that puts Tim up to 766 470 currently in first place and I do gotta admit it used to be uh intimidating to step up after playing after somebody blows it up the way Tim just did but as I've spent more years playing Pinball it's a little liberating because you really have nothing to lose you just play your game relax and see how well you can do and try to climb that score ladder and just catch up if you can absolutely yep it's all the Zen of pinball you got to be okay with not winning now but in this section of the tournament being you know 10 11 points away from the top right every Point does matter right now so there's that added pressure from from that right but you can't at least personally for me I can't think that way because like one because that's how you start spinning out and worrying about missing shots and things like that you gotta you gotta kind of let it flow as best you can but yeah one mistake here could cost you so Carl's uh first to 21 points right first the 30 points 30 points 30 ends the tournament all right I'm trying to fix the bracket then the the um the bot everybody should appreciate the hard work that Mr D'Python Anghelo does here as he's triple tasking like I said it's just it's been crazy yeah it really has well we're you know we're in a new facility here in Riverside for the for the events everything's somewhat new to everybody but uh it's coming together great I gotta say you want to come on all right yeah come on Neil come on all right we're gonna welcome Neil McRae to the Stream all right Neil I think Carl's got to do some magic to there it is uh I'd go there we go there's guys hello Neil I'll be back welcome Neil welcome welcome to indisk everybody and what a great game to kick off our coverage nine ball my personal favorite game from classics oh it's your favorite game from classics yeah it's I've got one at home it's an absolutely fantastic game and Tim blew this game up did you did you see him play on the ball too yeah he got multiball he didn't realize he had an extra ball he was wondering what was happening I was waving I'm saying pull plunge plunge because there was a ball in the in the lane yeah and uh he did a great job on this game uh getting multiple going and and really took advantage of it but then didn't take advantage of the extra ball unfortunately right yeah well I was saying when he got that extra ball like that typically in these tournaments when I get an extra ball it's like okay great and you plunge and then immediately yeah it's it's easy come easy guys you got to take it when it arrives yeah so what's the strategy on nine ball meal strategy and nine ball is you want to um you you want to plunge so you hit that red arrow at the top yep and that lights the spinner um and then you want to hit that spinner but then you also want to hit the two sets of drop targets at the top yep because they will give you um the the multiplier that you see the 4X the 2x the 1X and eventually the extra balls so right um that's really the going for those two drop targets is really the strategy and then and then as a side um event um you know for sure go for the other drops try and get the ball in for the for the multiball it's all great points yep the Horseshoe can be valuable if you if you charge it up to the the 173 right but it's a dangerous it's very dangerous right yeah they're saying that earlier how it gives you such velocity coming out of it that if you don't have control yeah and and if depending on the the Center Post yeah you really have to believe in that Center Post right and you often you have to see players kind of flip as the ball comes to the center post and if they hadn't flipped the ball's good but because they flipped they end up they end up losing the ball I gotta tell you one of the biggest like uh leaps of faith in pinball is that Center Post between the two bottom flippers absolutely it took me years to believe that that did something I want to say that uh that I have the coolness to trust in that Center Post but you the tendency to flip is like the the the the reaction yeah you got to remind yourself to let it go absolutely and I see this this game is is doubly important because next to it um Andy Foster from the UK a good very good friend of mine who's currently leading yeah um because I don't know if we can get the uh current standings up but um he's currently leading the um the the classics right now Andy's and he's been playing since he was like four top player in the UK yeah and here we go um so this is the yeah we'll get the the standing so I think Andy's still playing but you can see how how tired is at the top yeah um no seriously like like look like the movement here between Paul all the way down to to uh Arvid at 18 points like this can fluctuate around right even I mean even sean Sean's been leading along with Stacy the three of them were leading for most of today actually yeah uh Andy is has and and uh Paul and Tim have taken a bit of a lead I think Andy's still got to score he's currently playing um he was leading when I last looked so uh yeah that game's still there Savannah used to win that I took him to 23 being clearly in the lead yeah probably another four games to go maybe three um to hit that magic Target um so I mean for the top eight players old to play for and I have to say um for you those of you watching um make sure you plan to come because the guys here have done a phenomenal job we're in a fantastic venue loads of space loads of great games um you can watch all sorts of stuff hi there folks um you can watch all sorts of stuff you can see the screens you can see just amazingly handsome men with headsets uh talking about pinball but uh I have a face for radio as they say but um absolutely great venue the class has been great enough to say you know the the we're probably a little bit behind because we have there's lots of machine issues but I've never seen such an elite crew of people fix games and get them back up and running no seriously like typically staggering to watch at some tournaments like Pembroke stuff like that the machine goes down they just they they would probably just leave it and leave it or pull it out of the thing but machines are back up and running so quickly I I know because I've worked on a couple of them because we yes because uh with the machines that scoreboard are in but uh absolutely I mean this is great I mean what you know watching scores on scoreboard um and I've logged a few a few perhaps not high score but somewhere in the middle of the table Yeah so it's great to see that working and also make it easier for the school Keepers and if you're watching and you're coming still looking for scorekeeper volunteers please uh help us sign up you get you get a car you get you can you get repaid in cars and entries so you know you get to meet people you get to say hello and and it's uh it's a great way to get to know people and and also watch you know you can watch a little bit of how people are playing see how the games are a great way of um all you need to do is one session a couple hours and and it's all good yeah so we're still waiting for this future Spa result Sandy has won fantastic so Andy takes the lead um I mean 400k on on future spy not to be sniffed at that's a low scoring game typically and between him and Adam Adam another uh fantastic player it's that um I love to watch playing um they they had it you made him work for it let's see that's for sure so yeah so with that that puts Andrews firmly in first place with 23 points Paul Madison in second and 21. Tim sexton in third and 20. but it's it but honestly it like it's anyone's getting this point yeah like yeah you gotta if you trip up you're in trouble so it's it's you know it's all to play for and and um Andy there's Andy's I mean look at that look at that yeah I mean like that is you know threes and twos you only got one one there on Firepower but like and if you're gonna take a one far apart it's probably the game to take on um you know I mean and the um he's a current leader in uh the UK number one player in the UK he's going to the World Championships in in Florida later this year we got a little bit of a UK invasion in this event here yeah and these are hope our secret hope because me and Kirk are propping the table up lower down but um he's uh he went to Florida one one three I think of the five tournaments um and and he's played um games literally since he was a kid real I mean he was saying he was playing um what was the game magic he said I hadn't played that for 12 years but he could remember how to play it um for 12 years I think me either I haven't so um but yeah look at great great set of results for Andy and um I will say that uh both meteor and Mars track two games that Andy had great scores on are like in my personal like someday I will own one of those machines like yup absolutely so I want to meet you it's the glory I mean and actually it's events like this where you know you can go into a bar you can play a brand new game most of the time yep you come to an event like this you get to play other stuff a huge shout out to all the folks that are helping us run this people profile orange outlaw Stern and Ace I was at Ace awesome place for pinball and Foods um they do a spicy steak that even even a Scotsman like me get carried his head blown

the surveys really were filling out surveys can be frustrating but you know if you fill it out you can help us you can help us come up with the program and that you want to see yeah um it takes literally one minute I've done it which I didn't realize you had to be a streamer a watcher so I'm already in trouble but if there's something free going on I'm usually first in line so that's all good they said they put banners around here I believe and we had it up on the screen yeah I saw an I thought I better fill that out but um yeah and you can see uh the waivers in the background the whole hello moms as I call them um there's Brian and a few dollars um play away but we have um yeah we're right we're right in the thick of everything right here in the middle of everything so if those of you who aren't here obviously so we're in the center Island surrounded by the machines behind us are the machines for the open over here to our right are all the classics but in front of us are the women's tournament to the left is the high stakes tournament it's just you know it like the layout of this event is so great and that there are so many different events to participate in you know and you know you got folks playing in the match play tournament and then in between rounds going putting in some entries in their car in the open like it's just it's a it's a it's so much fun if you love pinball oh yeah and the value here is amazing I mean everyone's really on a high to be back here after a couple of years and on this venue um is it's just amazing and one of the one of the sponsors the Food Lab just down the road yep I mean holy moly they've got some fantastic choice of foods really quick to get hold of so if you're ever in the area get down here this is my first time I've never been to Riverside yeah I never you know I'd heard about it but I'd never I never made it down at the last in-disk I went to was at the old Museum of pinball I think it was a which was which was again another great venue really enjoyable but you know things move on this venue is I will say as great as Museum of pinball was it was in the middle of nowhere and there was literally no like we had to drive 20 minutes to go get food and like yeah so it won't yeah it wasn't it wasn't ideal let's see but I I just walked half a block and got barbecue for dinner and it was fantastic yeah and um and you know some good hotels nearby um great I mean therefore if you think about on on Monday there was a picture posted well this room was empty yeah and you look at it now and it's just a staggering amount of work to be done yep in a short period of time period of time and games playing really well it was a favorite of mine in the background RoboCop I'm looking forward to some big games on that it's such a phenomenal Tournament game I love it um and um and then front and Frontier too yeah I'm actually going to go for that because everyone else seems scared of it it's a card breaker it's a card breaker for sure I kind of like the fact that it's like that so I'll be the crazy guy going for that score and we saw a some some uh good Godzilla stuff I think um on I think we had Levy leading this at one stage um I'm not sure who's leading the open right now let's take a look at the openings yep so Kelly George and Andre and Levy at the top um I saw Kaylee playing the shadow um and do an amazing uh bit of Ball Juggling on multiball and I think he he picked up the number one score on the shadow again another great Tournament game um can I tell you a legend of Andre mazenkov story yeah uh we were like this has had to be maybe 10 years ago or so in San Francisco right as I was getting into pinball we were at a bar called molotovs in San Francisco me and Brian O'Neill and Allison O'Neill were playing Medieval Madness and we're drinking we're having a great time we hadn't really started playing competitive pinball that much and I'm at 11 30 midnight in rolls Andre steps up to Medieval Madness and literally blows the machine apart doesn't say a word to anybody puts up a high score and leaves the bar and we were just like who was that guy and for weeks we were like who was that guy who came and blew up the medieval manners we finally tracked him down and found out it was world champion Andre mazenkoff and then we you know we're in the same league as them got to know him and Andre's just Andre is just a great scholar of pinball if you've ever seen him do at he used to do at Pin Bird yeah I watched one of these two tutorials that was fantastic the thing he does with Bowen was just like that was a must-see every time so yeah and actually one thing I want to point out about the the current Classics um there's a there's a name on there Jim belsito yes that's bubbling near the top yep and and and come in here a few times and seeing Jim play you know I never rule him out um you know you could see him pop up yeah and he's playing great whilst running this event that's what I was just say what blows my mind in the past years of Indus you've had Jim belsito you've had Carl D'Python Anghelo you've had like these guys who are making this event happen and then going and winning like it was just like it's stagger I I can barely play right I'm not doing anything else so I'm barely competing and I can barely even stand up but yeah I mean it's it's uh it's a phenomenal phenomenal thing to see when you've got that much distraction yet you're still able to play it was a massive game of perspective right at the start yep um I think a couple of people rolled a um and again out it's a game I Love Actually it's my favorite em it's it's there's a lot on it a lot to do um but that game went on for a bit at the start um and it's funny though because it's like so so you're in the you're we're in the UK what town are you in just inside London just outside London's right so I'm just outside New York City and for my in in New York there's a lack of EMS and solid States available in public venues right like as the years go on and it makes sense people want the latest and greatest the new Stern or whatever it might be but like it's events like these where like I get to learn prospector I get to learn you know like Mars track Aztec like all these other great you know kind of Classics that we never get to see out in the field that much unless you go to one of the big Collections and this is this is I was saying this to actually Fosters before this this is why we love that's why we track back to these locations from the UK because the the kind of games that you've got out here you know the big game Mystic Magic you just you never Stargazer awesome and that you know and actually you know before I started coming to these sort of events I was almost a snob about which games are Luca and then actually meteor um I played down for right I want one of these how do I get one and you know I started buying older games and I know the game's a great way again the pinball learn skills you don't have to worry so much about the rules because right they're all pretty straightforward and one Playfield a level Playfield you know that's too much complexity yeah and you can stick you know if you buy a modern a classic Stone sorry you can stick and challenge your friends as I've been doing with meteor um you know absolutely um I gotta say this in game I gotta say I was spoiled because when I got into pinball about an ounce about 10 years ago so I was in San Francisco and we would go play free gold watch yeah amazing location but like even when it first started opening it was like a mix of solid States and dmds and moderns and so I was like oh this is how pinball is everywhere and then I go to other like bars and I'm like oh they don't have solid States here yeah and again another another yes um you know Ace here is they've got a great mix of modern older games um like I said I was a couple days ago they had a a a beautiful Paragon there that I was playing um and but you really it's really hard to find these sort of of places where you can play these types of games and and you know I always people say you know how do you get better people I said get yourself a classic and play the hello um I mean no matter what if you're getting into pinball no matter what your skill level is the best way is this to play and just keep playing um but yeah and and I think um you know we see that you even here I'm you know as I've played today I've started to get better and started getting the swing of things um I always have like an arc right like you start off really rusty and kind of slow to it and then you get a little better and then as I watch my scores do worse I'm like all right maybe it's time to go absolutely right I'm gonna have to run because I'm in this all right you're in the next round oh yeah all right well good luck go make us proud thank you all right we're gonna thank our sponsors color DMD and pinball monk first sponsor in this event as we are here at Riverside California for indisk it never drains in Southern California Amusement connect captains auction warehouse and coin taker all great folks we thank them for their support and of course our good friends of pinball profile orange photography Golden State pinball Festival vintage arcade Superstar Outlaw pinball and the ccpl hey how's it going all right we're going to welcome a guest commentator here Mr Levy from New York I think uh do the other one I think those ones are set up already [Laughter] I do not actually there there's a bunch of cool but I know that's the telestrator so maybe I should have told you that but hey everybody all right I've gone from uh well it's too early to beef really so I'm just I'm just going to the booth but Neil has gotten up to play yeah um and I've put in a bunch of tickets I think I'm gonna take it easy yeah we were just looking at the standings you're you're top top five right here top three hanging in there yeah there's a couple each card has a couple stinkers but yeah it's so hard in this in this format yeah so what is the Strat what is the strategy when doing the card I mean is it like you you like is a game you know really well and you think and you just focus on those five or do you mix it up or I've been mixing it up and kind of discovering some games that I've never played before like diamond lady yep um I played that that was fun just whale on the drop targets and it's pretty cool yeah um some of this also I just wanted to play everything right but when you have a good ticket going you really want to go into something you like like this alien star has been really nice to me so I've gone back to that and yeah but it's so tough because you know you some of the games you know the best you're you know like Shadow like who knows how that's gonna go right uh almost like a there's like a comfort level there where you're like oh I can do really well in here but that's also when mentally you might you know you know fall back a little and not do as well as you think you could do you know I think the trick is to not overthink it yeah as always but uh you know you never know how it's gonna go right so so we're filming some air here yeah we're up on um oh okay this is the telestrator yeah that is the telestrator there it is yeah so that will work all right in front of you and you've got the clear button and the erase if you need to erase but I see all right is it working yeah and then yeah are we on are we on Genesis I believe we are on Genesis ah the Beloved Genesis we refresh the uh people here oh yes so clear whiteboard it's just that all right all right we're playing Genesis all right so Levy what's the you step up to Genesis what's the strategy here how's this you want to hit the ramps and you want to hit the orbits this is kind of the main four shots there yep um if I recall I haven't played this one in a while but I will say I have a I have a soft spot in my heart for these got leaves this the the the this 80s era Gottlieb machines I know not a lot of people like them they're I love them this is they're all every all the stuff is starting to come back into favor now especially with you know the prices of games and how how scarce it is I mean ah here we go here this is Arvid um I actually know this kid his dad went to my High School Silver Spring Maryland back in the 90s wow he was an exchange student and I used to drive him to school in the morning and force him to listen to like classic rock so you actually know is that yes I know this guy what a what a small world yeah I was I was uh I got on I hadn't heard from him in about 30 years and I got a message well 25 years and I got a message from him out in the blue and uh there we go all right so uh this is Andrew uh yes this would be Andrew Foster okay who's currently in first place in Classics got it so he's going for that left ramp there um and basically you do that enough times and you'll get your body parts and then you'll start your mouth so yeah so you're spent every time you hit the ramp you get a letter you're spelling out Arms any one of those shots and also the letters up top I believe yep so let me go over both of you again since we're new here Ron Richards let me Damon and Carl's gonna be handling all the replays and the heavy lifting uh and we will handle the telestrator if we so choose wow he's tied in so far just kind of chopping away at these uh at these and I think if you get all the body parts you get that like silver cocoon thing right kind of going well that's I mean that's the thing all right that was quick one nice two ball and uh he just wants to hit those shots and get points yep and right now he's actually missing for the first time in this game uh I do I mean the the Trap up focus on one ball you know like um going for those drop targets I don't remember why hey Carl why was he going for those drop targets I I would I couldn't tell you I would never never mind and he beefs out uh it wasn't a terrible first ball 328 000. he would have liked to get a little more out of that multiball I think all right here comes Jason wordrick the kid we're gonna have to stop calling him that at some point right yeah all right here comes Jason he is in uh tied for second place with belcito Yep this is a good group uh yeah I would guess this is the leading group is that how it works uh no oh unlucky well he missed his ramp shot and then he drained so Lady Luck I'm not so sure this is the nice way of saying yeah all right here comes belcito you know him you love him a lot of these games are his he's he's one of the guys who's helping putting this amazing event um and one of the best players in the room and let's face it a total sweetheart yes uh one of the best people in pinball period he got kind of mad at me because I was playing a game of Shadow or something and I had a tech problem right in the morning yeah I called him over and I was like oh I hit the flipper he's like it's really nice to see you too yeah let's remember our manners it reminded me that we're not just here to play Pinball we're here oh nice shot and sometimes those Rams can be a little tough but this game it seems like the flippers are getting it done yep oh and don't forget this being a gotlip you want to shoot the lit uh Lane up top not the unlit lane which I always forget and then I'm like oh right it's worse yeah I just played a game of Robo war and uh all right here we go dialed in this game has the nice clear ramps yeah these old goblets the ramps are usually the the uh purple plastic ones I've seen yeah right the Pepto-Bismol around yep going right for that so I believe that will light his multiball yep yeah that's the two ball multiball yes you just you just spell out a body part and start a multiball all right scratches his mask I will say this is the first tournament I've played where it's just been all masked all the time you get used to it pretty fast yeah it's not that much oh man uh one nice thing about it is nobody can see you Grimace and what's great is we were taking pictures and you don't need to smile in the picture you just stand there smile with your eyes so he's going for the left the right ramp multiball now hopefully uh oh that was a little dangerous but he got away with it as you could say it survives that too well yeah I mean it's clearly spelling you know arms and legs are less letters than brain right so it's faster he was going for that left orbit I think but he missed it or the brain shot oh there we go okay is that gonna be another record but we're back in business I think we're getting there I think okay everyone in chat let me know if you're you're alive can you hear us I wonder if they could have heard everything actually I know hey Carl he's screaming at Fred these screens are still off those are still off yeah we're looking at the Gnomes I see it so Fred decided to uh hit the button to hit my power button on my computer when he walked by all right so we're back in business and we're still in player one and belcito has uh 1.1 yeah that's a uh that's a very good start for the for the kg veteran kg better I don't know how else you would describe I would say the the gentleman of pinball all right he's going for yet another multiball you can see he's now played the two and I'm guessing that second multiball is a lot more profitable than the first oh a little tip over there and the light is out on the right side I don't know it was it was out on the left side before Oh it switches yeah it switches right yeah so you want to I mean as usual the strategies hit the flashing shot right or the in this case the lift shot I always got his extra ball he's going to play that right yeah that's that's good um all right all right there it is now with these with these 80s got Loop stuff like that it does get repetitive um yeah but this kind of repetition is not something that you're gonna frown upon right especially when you're the oh when you're the kg all right oh he nails that Vera Target oh you know when it came to go live they would never throw anything out if you had a Vera Target in a game in 1968 it very well might return in 1986 and that's what happened here the classics right all right well he's he's killing it he's killing it no other way to put it he's got uh 2.65 jeez and a 5x multiplier right now I think oh and he has reset everything and he's got his Center Cocoon of uh Magic going I think he's gonna bring her to life Genesis will happen oh wow this is Gonna Roll look at that oh babe the robo babe has revealed herself and so has another million points he's got 3.5 Jim Bell so unbelievable taking this game to robot School wow all right so we got another million points off of that uh babe reveal oh out the left out lane yeah he'll take what a great ball one though and let's see what kind of bonus he's got uh nothing but whatever 3.6 million on that ball all right Arvin steps up he is non-plussed currently the number four ranked um player in the world and really this is his debut on the International Tournament stage uh with the world watching how old is he you know I think he's like 14. he's a kid he's a kid and he's uh good for him uh he's by the way you oh that fall did not go very well but um he is a U.S citizen he was actually born here in the states great um it's just a little trivia for you I think I might know more as American I might know more about Arvid than anybody else here all right Andrew Foster steps up currently in second place in this game and I'm a big fan of Andrew Foster's hairstyle it's kind of what I'm going for if I had a little more on the top you'll get there I think you'll get there yeah we'll see the mind is willing but the body is weak in this case all right he's going for his uh brain and he I think he screwed that up he didn't get it down a little shot that he needed uh oh he posts into that right ramp and uh this side so every time you hit a sling it changes the brain Lane correct from left to right um but I think he's really right now he wants to get that right ramp that's kind of the easy the easier multiball to achieve at this point oh he's really uh really in trouble here he's kind of flailing all right now how close to the end of this thing are we do you have any idea Ron Richardson uh I think we've probably got another three or four rounds to go all right settle in so first to 30 30 points so settle in so he just so he just did something that I often like to do when you're flailing and not making your shots trap up take a deep breath uh oh and that didn't help him though so no he um he just he was a little off on that ball he really wasn't hitting his shots he's at 645 000. no that's good for second right now and uh the kid Jason wardrick and the actual kid Arvid are uh bringing up the rear and hoping their second ball goes better than their first um so in the in the match play tournament setup oh that was a really nice backhand there do you often find yourself like playing for a second like do you just are you always going for first or do you think that like I'm gonna be strategic and just go for the points I would say it depends on what ball it is yeah there we go nice left ramp shot and uh and you know how close you are I mean right now he just wants to him and Arvid are thinking the same thing you know 80 000 points is not gonna do it eight thousand points yeah let's just try and get something going this is still anybody's game anybody can get on a roll on this that's that's so great just takes one ball right I mean that was pretty amazing what belcito just did on that one ball uncovering the robo babe which I don't think I've seen for years I've seen it I've done it once I've never done it all right left ramp uh it is very small prints I was just thinking the same thing it's very hard to read no no that's that's good we should be focusing on the app yeah I agreed and not what these people have to say to us but we'll check in on them in between we'll see uh all right he's got both his right oh he goes for the brand I like that it was lit so why not go for it man you gotta wonder how many billions of games of Genesis this guy has played I like a little fist pump shoots the right ramp all right the 4X multi-multiplier there I might have to bring my reading glasses out for this this chat all right uh and he's in multiball I guess that means 2x scoring maybe oh 4X he's got 4X yeah that is super boomy this could really help him close the gap on uh Andrew for sure yeah and he just did yeah his way he's closing in a million Oh I thought he was gonna get that but no double train um perhaps a little distracted by Trump by that uh that Lazarus thinking he could get it back yeah um just under 1 million yeah buddy you know he makes some progress and is he ahead of Andrew yes he is yeah but by 300 000 so it's currently Jim's in first 3.6 million Jason's at 957 Andrew's got 645 000. so it always cracks me off that gollard went from the largest displays in the business to the smallest but uh great camera work here you can really see these scores probably probably better than the people actually watching the game from from behind can see it uh but this is on the wall right now this is on the big screen here at uh the Riverside Convention Center oh what a save wow tips it right to the tips it perfectly I mean I can watch Jim play all day he's so good well apparently we might not have a choice in that matter continues uh wow that was a nice save a little fortuitous perhaps um a little early there I assume he was going for his left ramp yeah there it is that's a bomb adding to his lead it's all gravy at this point yeah I mean any one of these on he gets the brand there the ABC man he's just uh he's just he's just hitting the shots yeah misses that one but recovers uh this is no I thought that might be trouble oh Neil welcome back welcome back Neil we're going to welcome back Neil McGrady to the stream in a moment we're current Neil we're currently watching Jim belsito put on a school this is this is uh this is what I was kind of worried about yeah we're worried about it we're still playing in master what yeah I'm still playing mostly but I'm nowhere near these guys McRae doing double duty ladies and gentlemen it's a story of my life um but um he's playing with Andy Foster in this round and right you know I know we're not supposed to be slightly biased in in commentary and land but I'm gonna be cards on the table that's some loyalty I'm looking for Andy to win well nice he is he a [ __ ] fellow country he's a fellow country man I mean he is he is a northerner oh and he put up another million in that multi yeah I mean this is I mean is belcino Gonna Roll this thing can you roll this thing or does it go to 11. this one might go to 11. it might go to a lot uh by the way I rolled uh alien star today before 11 million an 8X multiplier going on right now wow wow if you can get himself a multiball I'm that's interesting I wonder why he passed out that he's got his extra ball though he's gonna play this right yep yeah I wonder why he oh no no it doesn't count I wonder why he passed up the shot on the right ramp there he he kind of went it's a tricky shot though he might have just missed it yeah it was okay but it was super late he ends ball too with 6.3 million he's gonna get it spot on to get it up though all right here comes Arvid let's see if he can claw his way back into this one um again these young guys they don't understand that you know he's supposed to give up at this point [Laughter] they haven't faced the kind of disappointment that we're all used to as adults and he just thinks whatever I've got 8 000 points um I could end this ball I could easily win it yeah in his mind he can he's going to win this that's why my my standing as a New York Mets fan makes me a good pinball player because I'm used to losing I have to be used to uh okay but you can see how fast this game is I'll find this oh do you see it's loud on the window there did you see that yeah on the on the robo babe window it went down the line right to the middle I have not seen that on this game before so Andrew has a very large hole to chase Jim with he's at 645 000 now he's got to be feeling you know he could definitely come back and uh at least but look oh no you know he just needs a second you know the second place is good friend he's not far off the pace as far as catching up to wardrick at this point exactly oh he misses that he can't even really late on that shot these last guys I will tell you Neil he has not seemed comfortable on this machine no it's it's not a game that Andale have played a lot of I think and as I can recall I think there's maybe two of these back in the UK they're not there's only two of them there's not some there's not something that you could get that's like an awful lot yeah that's the shot he wanted uh he wants to do it again get a multiball oh I don't know why I was going for that he might again it might have just been a mess but it looked like he was going for that Vera Target uh that can be a very dangerous shot though I mean obviously when I I played this earlier I find the ram shots incredibly dangerous if you don't nail them perfectly yeah it is you're in trouble and he's got a lead now he's he's almost caught up to Sixx multiplayer and he's almost caught up to the kid Jason we're watching intently over his left shoulder you should see there God knows what's going through his mind are you one of these guys who's like drain drain drain or are you just kind of watching actively mentally rooting for your opponent to be I I really I try to make the the opponent beat the machine right you know so you're rooted for the machine you're like come on Genesis you can do it I I will I will walk away and not watch yeah yeah I I don't wanna yeah like oh he's going for that right no I wonder why he's not going I think he's super brain shot there the one other thing I'd say Andy's not used to being on camera um well I don't know why because he's a great looking guy yeah all right but he's got that right orbit set up for the brain you know what they say kill the brain and the body will follow so that's what he's trying to do here oh no this is it is a tight little shot play it again oh I don't know how many times Genesis is going to let him get away with that yeah very good catch there it is all right now he's got his um 4X 4X and he's getting close to another multiball he's at 1.3 million so he's climbing he's gonna make Jason work very nice situational awareness by my booth mate Ron Richards [Laughter] oh see there you go there's that that is the danger of that RAM and and he got a nice return Lucky in some respects when I so what is it um it's not shot there it came right down the middle what does he want drop nothing is flashing at this point oh he wants the right rant that's a multiball boom yep all right and what is his X it's 8X this is the Money Ball ladies and gentlemen man he really wants to hit something and pro and get it get some uh benefits off of this uh off of this 8X multiball there we go nice all right so quickly quickly that's it trying to have a little too much control there on that multiball all right but he's up to two million um so he's about a third of the way to belcito land and he has a pretty decent lead on the other two people oh and again busted flip a busted post pass ends his game so he's gonna end up with 2.16 um but a little pressure here on wordrick and Arvid to see if they can catch up and at least get a second out of this if not uh take on belcito's lead at 6.5 you know I'm not a I'm not a a pass dangler I Like to Swing the pass around my back so that thing's not coming so it's not getting anywhere you don't feel like it's choking you though at that point or maybe I like that a little bit it's okay it's like my ID card to work and it's okay I'm not sure um for those of you who don't speak British he tucks it in his shirt sorry Carl's working on subtitles especially for my my little girls I thought maybe he'd go for a flipper a post pass but he didn't want to risk it after seeing what happened to Andrew there just taking it easy taking what the game's giving them a nice save man he really should why not post pass that over it's not that tough on these games there it is damn that's not going to do it sends it over to the pops and come back to where he was yeah exactly back to where he was come on you can post I think he's seen two post passes fail as was Brave to then have a go at it you know Arvin kind of lost it on almost on a post pass this was this was kind of who's I mean ball three what's your wrist tolerance yeah exactly I mean right now it's got to be pretty high oh no well all right no risks no risk no rewards so Richard guaranteed at least a third um all right and uh Jim dealing with some tournament business here with Jay yeah these guys have been super busy they're they're working straight and they're fixing games they're throwing out malcontents that hasn't actually happened everybody's uh everybody's pretty chill today I think everybody's just happy to be here it's a great advice you know there was some Mega storm of death yes that's right yeah and uh it screwed up a lot of people's flights but everybody made it I myself had to get in a cab and go to a different airport oh wow and a rebook on a different Airline but I did make it here last night and uh glad to be here with all these fine pinball personalities okay we like alliteration in the booth oh nice very nice Lane work there so he's really just uh just yeah I mean this is just a bit of showboating almost isn't it or ah yeah or just a bit of fun just enjoying that yeah no pressure it's a he's doing some victory laps here hopefully you never know I would love to see Arvid claws way back that would be amazing Here Comes no nobody wants to pose pass except for Andrew and he lost the ball so I guess that's why yeah it just doesn't look like I think that scared everyone off oh wow oh this is trouble no nothing is trouble that's the one thing I like about these games you can't give them a bit of a bang wait now he's trying to post pass it oh he must know something I don't because I think he should be going for that right ramp yeah I'm sure they're telling us what what this is all about in the in the chat I'm afraid to look maybe he's going for that Vera Target no yeah he's going back up there we go nope nothing worth commenting on the chat uh he's in a multiball and it's 16x so that's why he did that uh yeah Raymond Davidson is here I saw him earlier yeah Ray's here and he's in 16x multiball and that's why he was doing that because multiball was lit on the left ramp and now he's got eight million points almost um this is pretty uh pretty textbook Clinic he's putting on here yeah this is a this is a video to watch for tutorial on how to play this game oh boy I don't know I really want to see if this ring rolls or goes to 11. is it the bakery or is it spinal tap all right uh that's it for the multiple he's got 9.3 he's very close to that 10 million and he's got another multiball now no this is one of the better games I've seen of uh oh there goes that poster that's a risky pools pass it's easy for me to say but it doesn't look that tough I don't know what this post passes have you played this game in the tournament yet I did very you did not like it you did not like it did you put it I didn't try to boost pass um I could barely make the ball go up the ramp frankly it's so it's a game where you just have to be super precise uh this guy is being precise yeah to the tune of 18x still he got like 18xa like pop bumper and it gave him like half a million points 10 million oh the the robo babe is lit twice in one game oh I want to see this is this it is unveiling herself well he's uh and the answer is it does not roll I believe it says 10 million points yeah so yeah he's at 10.9 he's gonna hit 11. and ladies and gentlemen he has gone to 11. almost there it is the volume up wow yeah what a great what a great game by Jim belcito here absolutely and uh there's some Applause there all right Harvard steps up 11 million 123 660 for Jim um it was you know it was touch and go for these guys his dad had a touch of the uh the covid that's right a couple weeks ago and they just made it in under the wire or they bribed the right officials either way they are in the country and Arvid is didn't yeah I mean I said candidly the last week of before I flew out here I was panicking that we were all we were going to catch something that you know as you as you come out all right so it's uh it's Jim Andrew Jason what does that mean in the scheme of things can you tell me I think it's good news for Mr Foster but also depending oh that's the good news he was already yeah he was in first so he's still in first place so he's got two more points Jim taking points away from the other players hey Carl is there any way you can put the standings up here yeah once I put the scores in I'll put them in sure I'm I'm just waiting now there's a process I'm waiting just just kidding Carl's doing a great time um everyone's doing the best job they can uh you know a little tired and here we are so there's the okay at least the leading in the E division open you're not doing bad there 11. hanging in there is a number two scorer on the alien star there that is a great alien star to play now is there any way we can see the no there isn't Fred's uh Fred's a little bit to destroyed this bit okay so I'm I'm locked out of this page for some reason all right look at this well uh all right I'm gonna look at this minuscule little baby chat so only are you uh yeah they're they're coming back slowly here it's coming back someone someone I like it the chat's continuing to blame Fred at this point I think it's valid it is it's valid wow there's a lot of people watching this thing how many are we at I don't know but I mean the the chat is very uh prolific at this point all right there's current standings it should be back yeah Lord of the Rings I'll get it I'll get it I'll get it that's a great uh all right so here we go right so here we go all right uh wow so Andrew's in first place with 25 points Paul Madison in the second with 23 and Jim belsito in third or 22 tied with Adam McKinney with 22 points yeah so we're looking at two more two more games Zach sharp climbed climbed up pretty he was in the middle of the pack uh last round so yeah we got a bunch of guys bunched up at seventh there now what is uh what is the deal here the 11 is up right round 11's up now what is the deal top eight is uh in the money for this top four I actually don't know it's over when someone hits 30 points yeah I know that Target match play and what is first place Four Points um three points I believe all right okay three two one right I'm off to play stars I love that game yeah we will see you and see you shortly all right unless somebody comes in here and just listen so that's someone's better than it's speaking and understandable it'll do my best but you know how people can get very very aggressive when they're trying to muscle absolutely we've seen it we've seen it many many times well good luck Neil thank you guys make it happen baby we believe in you laughs I mean we believe in him like I believe he exists right existentially we believe in him all right so you're looking at these match play standings um look at all these big names Foster belcito Madison McKinney Sexton sharp McCarthy uh I don't know Gene Lewin um nor do I know Roland Roland's uh Bay Area Roland I think he's in Arizona now but he was calling Colin MacAlpine and now we all know Colin he's still hanging around and uh then it starts getting a little ugly there's Del Zappo down there are you still Zappo yeah he's he's always a strong performer I would say at this point um I would say at this point uh the guys are gonna win it are probably your top you know once you get out of the top seven I would say it's uh getting a little oh here we go we got Abracadabra hello hello joined by Escher leckoff who uh was playing in this earlier and made an executive decision to bail out and start playing in the open and Esther earns a cone of shame yeah but cones of Shame for Asher for me and I'm gonna be sending him one so uh that was definitely a beef to open move or did you just you made a decision you're winning really you were doing really well in class you know what I don't need this I just need to go over there no I uh I went last second third third well you know you made the right decision I think a lot of people kind of hung around a little while now they're wishing they bailed out earlier yeah I was also we were four games deep after two and a half hours and I was just wanting to play Pinball really bad all right well here we go and uh Ron Richards is off to play Pinball uh I think a pizza just showed up with his name on it and here we go this is Abracadabra this is a one player game I love this game um it's been one of my favorite classic games real quick this is you want to see the one through four what does that do yep so this game's all about one two three four uh once you get one two three four it advances the bonus value you can see in the center is it is on this one yeah yeah that so this is your bonus value it starts at one thousand every time you get what you get when you hit the lit drop Target yeah so that moves that's a moving shot yeah um and they're almost never work properly because these the one that was at Lion's Classic Pinball always worked oh boy I just mean the light sockets are always fun okay but they've done a good job on this one everything is bright uh that was not a very productive first ball it is a one player so it does not reset every ball so the idea is to get your sequence as early as possible yeah so your drop targets are worth more correct also when you hit every single drop Target down and hit the center Target it also resets the targets and advances your value awesome so a lot of people just shoot targets uh I like plunging the two and three and then you can chats the one in the four right oh boy this is a momentum game too it's a little worrying are you worried for uh Mr oh boy now we can start being officially worried for Mr Foster yeah what is a good score in your estimation on this uh it depends it really does depends on how everybody sometimes when that one lane drops it down the middle you can shoot yeah you can shoot the fourth yeah he's going for it yeah he was going for it you can shoot those directly which is very sad you could also just alley pass for it I feel like I would have opted for that um but he's also close to resetting his targets it's a two and the three that are a little tougher um does he still need the three it looks like he does yeah oh oh no this is ball five already yeah all right well let's see what uh let's see if Andrew can probably he pulled out a really big ball uh a really big last ball on Genesis to I think get a second there and that was really crucial oh my goodness man is the this is definitely what the other guys want to see because as the first place guy right now you know 16 000 isn't very much but uh there's one thing on this game that a lot of our games don't have and that is a sign that says tilt ends game very good observation we can see somebody make that mistake sometimes we're late enough in the tournament uh hoping people around Richards I can see your game was very uh short and I drank an enormous iced tea right before this and it caught up with me nature calls but now oh there's the ghost of Fred oh that's uh all right so 16. man at this point you know he just doesn't want to take last he's in first place he really wants to try to kind of drag every single other person in the tournament wants him to take glasses they sure do and they want Adam McKinney or Jim belsito to win this to make things interesting all right here comes Paul and Madison uh currently in second place with 23 points a lot of people don't know who Paul is who is Paul why don't you tell us uh he's one of the uh original great pinball players up there oh he's one of the old deal shots and oh wow really yeah he is uh he's better than 90 most people here uh he just doesn't play Much Anymore yeah he came in that was the one he came in his Bottom seed in this tournament really yeah but he's been playing he's in yeah long time wow but he is incredibly good he uh destroyed me on meteor for my one of my third places all right so he's um I would say it's all too good start oh boy oh he's on ball too already yeah it's pretty mean this is ball three right he's gonna uh yeah I think this is all three you're right um we haven't seen anybody clear this number sequence yeah that seems like that oh that's the three that's a big one there's a two thousand there if he wants to get that too he might want to start trying to shoot straight up through the four and or the one and maybe it'll come back there honestly when you're catching you just need to catch what sixteen seventeen thousand I don't know man I'm playing drops right now I want to get my I want to guarantee something and what does clearing the drops do for him again so clearing the drop the lights that second that yeah it lights the center Target the 500 or bonus 3000 points plus it'll reset his tracks and then that allows you to shoot more and it also increases the value of the 2000. it also oh okay well that's big yes yeah so definitely uh clearing the drops would be a profitable maneuver but also the pop bumper doesn't seem like it would be worth a lot in this game but uh in a long game of Abra the Thousand pops could be like it's a decent chunk right yeah just the light yeah they're both lit okay there's a thousand points per hit okay and he's already eclipsed uh Andrew score all right um and this would be some value this is a huge plunge he really needs this too man he really did not did not but he gets some pop [ __ ] it's that's all I'm oh there it is the backwards okay how did he do that oh and okay so now he has his two and his uh just catch that one in he cashed that one in all right he's up at 30 000 now I like what I'm seeing here out of the legendary Paul Madison all right just don't plunge the one so Paulo semi retired at this point right I would say fully retired it was uh you're playing I mean it's been a while like my dad was very surprised when he saw his name on the registration list so I remember playing Paul when I was uh probably like four or five pack of lions stopped by one of them but uh he's where is he from he's from someone in shuttle now I want to say Michigan but I could be wrong his bonus is at 2 000 now right his Center's a little big save it's always going to need another one it's just that Gap is too big oh you need one more Target I think he got them all down yeah he got it all down he was so close to a huge game you get that reset and you get going on your 3000 a shot well definitely uh put you know that's 37 is uh not too shabby respectable for sure and uh some of you might be familiar with the hideously ugly atable version of this called team one um Team one's like this game but more boring yeah a lot more boring it's got the stupid 50 000 Point uh yeah it's like this game but all the Nuance is gone yeah right this is a great looking game of course yeah uh yeah I'm a I'm a little biased because I grew up playing this game but uh as like a skillful Tournament game or if you plunge the one that goes down the middle sometimes I remember uh at uh the pin golf tournament in Vegas this was a I think the goal was thirty thousand twenty five thousand and the the one or the four I don't remember it would drop it down the middle every single time well let's see what happens on this it looks pretty nice on this one uh all right and here comes Jim belcito let's see if he can uh keep up his high level of vintage Gauntlet play that was very nice oh nice I wonder if he alley pass is here for the one I bet he does come on Jim or he could go straight up too he could go straight up yeah he's yeah he was I think he was aiming at the one for that oh all right but you know that was only ball one he's got it all ahead of him he could he could try the shots the next he's got a crazy value get it on the plunge he's looking that was the best first ball we've seen for sure there it is no oh a little too hard I would say on the plunge uh-oh he's got oh I don't know what happened there he could have whacked that left flipper yeah I think he got a little friction on it it's a you got to be a little careful though you don't go too hard on any of these there it is especially when the Tilt ends the game yeah exactly you gotta stop saying he's got that one before all right let's see what he does here it was kind of defensive I think yeah oh okay he's taking on drop targets he's got four drops to go anyone really behoove him to get that one yeah they might want to just take his value he has got an easy target on the right let's see if he goes yeah he missed it but he did take down a Target he got a Target there's another Target now and this one's lit there it is man that left out lane you know this game started so promising uh balls he really wants that one and he's getting close to Andrew Foster's score if nothing else I think he's also pretty close to Paul Madison because if he gets the one and then resets his bank now he's got 3 000 a shot ready to go and that could turn things around in a hurry yeah uh now does the do the pumps start this game lit or does that happen I think it's every other switch or they they because they're lit until they get used and then they go away until something else gets hit oh my goodness what is the score he's chasing 16 something you know he's not uh he's not there yet all right he's just gotta hit a pop bumper easier said than done sometimes I mean you're not gonna shoot at a pop bumper are you just to get your third I don't know man it points a point risk versus reward right man he's just he's been chasing them there any guy's a thousand but I don't it's an em so you don't know you didn't actually get it but yeah so he's got it oh that was scary oh he hits a lit drop for two all right he's got the 18. oh he just needs that bottom left Target and things get very interesting there it is okay now he's got to hit the center flash ball you can shake it all you want um he's still at 2 000 right 20 22 Yeah values uh yeah okay so now he's three interesting nice you got three there oh and he's chasing 34 I believe there was a 37-34 nice that was very nice he's very close yeah lanes are the bonus no he had that shot at the drop Target and he didn't take it it's actually funny that if he got an outline there he would have caught him because you get the the 3000 bonus you know he he had the ball kind of screaming down that left in lane and he instead of taking a shot at that drop Target which could have given him the lead I don't know what he did there he kind of tried to tip it over um so uh lasso Paul Madison escapes he's still in first place and here comes Adam McKinney Adam good player Adam McKinney would like Place really high in tournaments way more if he stayed until the end every time it's it's like his curse every time I've played with him he's done well in a tournament he's got like a work thing or something he has to leave early and he's just playing for fun you know when is it gonna get to the point where we can just play this stuff professionally where the purse money is up where it needs to be up where you don't need to work yeah this is the yeah all right let's see if Adam can make a dent in these scores um I also think Adam should consider growing his hair out you know maybe get a little bit of a kind of a I feel like you might be a little biased on that well you know maybe a little all right and he gets the three that's a good one to get yep three and three and two those are the those are the good ones oh my goodness oh that that looks more gnarly than it was oh that was that was awesome man he was fighting for his life that fall sure I think you'll agree with me that was off the narometer he couldn't do anything there that's like that one that one diagonal angle there's not much you can do especially on a tilden's game man I keep forgetting that um it must be fairly liberal I would guess but yeah Jim did a pretty I wouldn't say a wicked Jimmy but a shimmy I missed the drop Target he was going for the lit one I don't know man he's getting some good pops value so no targets are lit but uh no but he could still no he got the three a couple times though yeah he didn't want to get too aggressive on bumping that as you said yeah especially when he's this close to a free point I say free but he is working for this yeah this is uh all right he's very close now to Andrew's point and his final Target is still not lit but he's just taking him out so he can maybe advance that he did get his one he just needs that two and he's got oh oh wow didn't hit any of them oh boy okay if you got one more on the right there oh he's got them all down I believe yeah there's one more on the right look at the rubber you can see that you can see the rubber it looks it's like hanging back a little more it's tricking us it's got some good pops value though yeah and I think he's now taken he's got his point he's taken Andrew Foster's score down um that's 17 900. he's got 18 yeah so I think Paul only had 16. uh Andrew only had 16 something so looks like Andrew's gonna take a last which is the which is not the last thing he wanted and exactly what everybody else in this match everyone wanted and when everybody wanted the pop bumper into the lit Target yes boom okay so now things Adam really needs to get those two left drop targets out so he can reset everything and start scoring oh yeah right now oh my goodness right now the points Buffet is closed nice save so close you can oh man he could have let that one bounce over but there it is okay so now he needs the center he already hit the center on his first try earlier 3 000 and reset his drop targets correct oh yeah okay so now you just gotta hit the lit ones the best part about this game is that there's isn't really a bad one to be lit like they're all fine the bottom one's the hardest oh boy oh man he's not getting he only okay that's good that's a good thing and he got the bones that's like hitting at the Target he's got two balls and what does he mean he needs like one he needs 36 37 two four thirty seven two four all right all right he just got he's really gotta hit one Target and get an outlet like that's his goal here or just two Targets or a bunch of Pop bumpers there's one okay he just needs to hit one target oh he keeps he keeps kissing and now Lane does it uh oh because I don't give him three thousand points and there it is oh no okay okay there it is a first place secured well done but he's going to continue following the ball around with his number he moved a little bit of a dance going here like wow 100 points 10 points to be beautiful dance of pinball the elegant clears 40. la all right now he's just shown off Chris Steven style he's got it in hands but he's going to continue playing because why not the exponential value of uh this game is it's amusing like the difference between a 50 000 game and 150 000 game is not as much as you think you know it's like you said once you start getting that bonus up yeah and once you get that rhythm going he's checking you really do want to make sure you want to never want to yeah never want to drain unless you're 100 sure and of course now that the pressure is completely off he's probably Gonna Roll this thing yeah I mean it doesn't really there's really no reason for him to not play this out because uh it's not gonna it's not gonna start the next yeah I don't think anyone I don't think anyone's waiting all right uh 54. we'll play that one more ball so he's tied for first one this is another group plunge of victory all right very good yeah yeah another ball to spare too so what happens now we gotta wait for everybody they gotta enter it all in and all right yeah unfortunately we have to wait just because we gotta wait for everybody else it's too difficult to switch it right I mean I could try we could try putting it on something but uh yeah are you in the mood to do that Carl I am I love switching the game all right I'm not joking all right let's do anything I'm being sarcastic no he's not being sarcastic let me put you over to the um the standings wow Foster with the goose egg allows these other two to claw their way back into it uh we can see uh 25 is extra interesting because everyone's at least two of them everybody with 20 points now still has a shot at this I would say the people well so a lot of the people at 20 haven't put their game in yet right so those guys will see some more movement and I would say everyone that has 21 and under after this round is most likely out right and that's unlikely that like they there's probably a good chance they don't even have a chance because I think there's a very good chance that one of these three people at 25 gets a three next game and then after that they get a two like three games is the average so we could be looking at we could be looking more videos and we're probably looking at uh two to three rounds and how it works I'm pretty sure is if you go two people go over 30 if someone's at 32 and someone's at 31 the 32 wins oh that makes the highest score right so yeah so if you're at 21 that means the best you can do is win the next three and you get to 30 flat but at that point someone else is going to be at all right Charles uh got he's strapping on the cans and he's got nothing but disappointment yeah they're all on ball you know last players yeah all right so we'll be moving on to the uh we'll be moving on to the next round very soon stick with us don't go anywhere I know you're not going anywhere because I mean why would you yeah why would you what else do you have to do what could you possibly have yeah on a Thursday night yeah watching the best pinball players in the world everyone in chat that's in chat wishes they were here um this is pretty awesome this is a good way to start this out tonight and uh it's still not too busy over in open land you can still get your tickets the wastes haven't been that bad at all people maybe some of the people are starting to go home maybe or go get some dinner you don't want to you don't want to expend all your energy on day one right right you don't wanna uh that's that's why I got my cone of shame I saw no one in queue and I'm like I feel like I'm wasting my time here yeah and I'm glad I did because I wanted to throw in the wet towel I'm glad I did because I got my double by ticket on my first ticket and I'm happy with it oh nice work so I I am what is a double buy top four top eight that's why if it was top four I would say I don't know but top eight I feel pretty confident so I got five solid ones hey Carl can you give us those main open standings main open coming up we're always working for you guys we're keeping you uh all right there's the classics there we go and there's the main oh okay uh the aforementioned Asher's uh double by ticket oh I love it you've dropped the fourth now I have yeah I've got a couple uh yeah I saw you your ticket was not bad at all was it your first ticket second second yeah Keith elwin now the code has made his presence known people were wondering if he was gonna put a ticket in if he was just here to observe uh congratulations intimidating yeah but uh he's put himself together a nice ticket Ryan Wanger ah the Winger is up there yeah I feel I got a feeling there's something on that ticket that's gonna be like a lead weight yeah uh it's it's hard to say at this point Andre's ticket looks pretty strong he's he had two two four it means he's only got two bleeders at most let's see Andres oh that mystery castle is going to bleed really hard WWF is gonna bleed slow but it's gonna bleed that'll probably qualify but it'll be tight all right let me go ahead hey can you put my ticket on I want to get the Escher uh analysis here I'll let you know it's here all right Frankenstein well you know I thought that not bad I thought that uh I thought that Royal Rumble that's gonna be ugly yeah I don't it it's it's probably it's gonna zero out I'm afraid all right well is that ticket gonna qualify anything roller games is pretty strong I have no idea how Diamond lady plays or what a good score is on it I got another ticket though lurking around with my 11 million on alien star yeah yeah that alien star I've heard really good things about dead pop bumper makes it so you get the ball in The Flipper whoever's on the post and uh here's my other ticket where's my where's my boom yeah I saw you at it you got your 100 there it is 11 million on Aliens yeah but this this diamond lady is ugly and that roller games isn't too pretty yeah he's this ticket man you have a very volatile set of games that you are choosing to play uh I really like diamond lady and I really like alien star and I like laserque because nobody is playing it people are like that game is a ton of fun I I played it and enjoyed it I'm not as good as you guys but it's still I'm not avoiding tickets this time around here yeah just I'm just letting it all not yet at least you start avoiding on Saturday when it's getting tight and my mind my aim is to not be playing at that point yeah that's always everybody else that's always what you want to be doing and high stakes uh Ray days got a pretty nice ticket there all right so starting at 16 for finals that's good to see we had to after last time what happened last time we won an eighth we only won eight top eight because we won a big prize pulse that was the whole thing with the high stakes high stakes exactly is there a name we had over 80 people and we had to bump it to 16. the the the the top 16 were not at the the bottom 16 of your eight were not happy there that they did not qualify yeah so you listen to the people you know all right people think that their grumbling goes unheard but it does not every Grumble is heard here every Grumble is heard somewhere you've got young eyes and can read three-point type you want to dip into the chat and tell us what the people are talking about yeah let's see what is up I'll read one people the goal is to be slamming beers on Saturday night I can't I can't agree um but I'm sure sure you might yeah I might have gotten into the bourbon a little bit earlier um but uh you know it's a long week ahead of us you want to pace yourself really yeah we've got three more days of this nonsense Friday Saturday and Sunday yeah and how many like eight more tournaments yeah there's a lot more yeah high stakes women's uh seniors kids Maine classics classics are they checking licenses and birth certificates for the seniors Division I think it's 55. are they checking I don't think I mean I guess I mean you know look at day over 25 Levy I mean like I don't know how I know a guy who is one of the South Carolina guys he's like he turns 55 in like a week round up [Laughter] so what do we got here what else is going on there's got to be a way to increase the font size on that chat room for you gonna get so mad if you screw that up dude no that's all right oh it's like an Amazon thing oh no the tablet yeah oh no if you rotate it no nothing I tried that oh yeah I mean it would maybe help with the same thing but forget it there it is there it is yeah twitch wow Carl's adjusting the antenna all right thank you for old eyes good job with tater salad f all right we're back and flying carpet you know what rules about this cam it's got this cool thing where every time the score moves it kind of moves the GI lights oh that's very interesting I see that when he presses start and this thing lights up tilt does end game uh this is a rollover and spot Target game that's what it's all about um and I don't really remember what you're kind of trying to do are you Consulting the rules on this no I'm not okay yeah I'm checking uh I'm checking uh Zach McCarthy how he did uh he's saying with us so I'm gonna watch out for him it's um up Colin MacAlpine is clawed his way into the top four how about that you know you can't count that guy out he's always kind of lurking around in the shadows kind of crawling kind of hiding behind the brush all right and before you know it he's in the top four so according to pin tips collecting the p and a lights the pops for a hundred points okay and that is those two lanes up top and there should also be I believe every shot in this game has a rollover and of course it's not spawning uh spot yeah it does roll over in a Target yeah there's a is at the bottom and up top and yeah I believe I remember that I I had one of these 15 years ago no no active slings so you can kind of trap there with those um big flippers and yeah you want those p and the a see that's Isn't that cool those Lanes on the top there every time the score motor moves they kind of rotate pretty cool it's very cool live flutter catch all right hoping to do better on this than he did on abraca there he goes and yeah you can see those pops oh that's good not much you can do on that one no and not much you want to do as tilt does end your game oh yes no we don't yes oh there it is yep that was sick that was awesome all the pops are lit for 100 uh seems like there's a lot of points in those pops yep again oh he's got them all lit now so um if you can get it up there and stay there's a couple there's a couple more this game kind of looks like four square but a little weirder yeah I'm a big Foursquare fan I think it's I love well you're gonna get a chance to play it as it's in our Classics back I know again just like last year I don't know if I love it enough to put on a four game ticket though maybe try it as your first game all right and he's back up top into the Pops that was very nice well it's a little too nice of a shot there we go oh yeah and he's up to almost 2 000 now I think I might let me have a look at the scores I'm curious what a good score is like 4 000 I think it's where you're where you want some more Pops sure if if getting if spelling out flying carpet does anything for you as a special is not gonna not gonna benefit you much yeah you get a free game though uh we can't see the ball count because I believe it's in the apron I think it's one of those games uh this is I think this is ball four okay it might be both five it's uh he's getting to the end oh this is probably ball five actually oh yeah nice popular Big Value across three times is that it that is 3150 31.50 that is the score to beat now okay so 31 puts him in top 15 of the day so it should be good for at least one or two points hopefully for him he gets to two points because then he puts the Goods in Striking Distance these three guys serve up turkeys and he takes it first but we'll see what happens all right here comes Adam player two again Adam's also a 25. back to back one player games on this uh these games are randomly picked as the match play uh system yep wow Tater really just just ground this chat to a halt with his f people just didn't know yeah it's on the oh there we go there we go all right showing off a little skin moving up his wristband everybody's got their pre-game rituals you got to be comfortable right yep I like his unlicensed vintage arcade game sure old games all right that's like uh Luke the hornyak's band all right so he missed the top Lanes yeah that was not a great plunge unfortunately uh oh nice nudge okay so where are we going he's going over the left there trying to get back up trying to sneak it through that pop bumper there it is but uh yeah good points though it's still like 50 100 Point targets there well now he's going back up top as he has a new punch all right he's really got to get one of the the lp AI the lapai as it were there it is there's a what does that get him nothing but one step closer that's one step closer to getting both of his pop bumpers lit so do you need all of them for this you think he could backhand that stand-up Target that pee no he's not trying it he's trying to go up top good points there look at it really squeezes through that slow down yeah I mean just going up top doesn't matter which side you're on why not trying to backhand that p uh because I think off the road like he's getting 200 points round trip here yeah he's actually doing pretty well and again already up to 1350. when you're at 25 right I think when you're a 25 you just want your points I think he wants to shoot that P I think he's gonna go back up top oh that was nice and he survived I was kind of wondering if you had tilted oh we'll know it if he tells it'll go dark correct it'll go dark much like a streaming rig that uh is anywhere near Fred Richardson [Laughter] all right and here he's he's gonna he's gonna let this chill we have a hooded waiver behind us that's the classic move there's a camera I'm gonna wave yeah we see you buddy like Christian yeah the local news broadcast at any time it is the animal I love Christian is one of my favorite pinball players he's so he's so fun to be here we all love him and uh The Cloud of smoke around him definitely shows that it is Christian foreign it down yeah you got it's one player game we can take your time here because he probably has a flight leaving in 20 minutes he's gonna get back to work right yeah exactly can he get that pee no he can't that's okay you got the a again yeah that's right he's gonna shoot it for that again if you can because man look at all the points you're giving up when you don't have those hundreds lit whole new ball games big shot and he went a little late last time he's got it this time nope early again it was a little tricky there good points on that oh that was nice what's he chasing like 30 something yeah nice save oh I mean he couldn't do it again okay he's got to get this piece this is ball four right uh yeah I don't think it's about five yet um he's getting close though man if he could get that key come on buddy it's a tough plunge you got to make it over there just enough and then drop it in and there's like that just like that nice all right I'm liking his chances of catching uh Andrew here pretty ducks all in a row let's even get up into popland he was so good again in the pups earlier this game boom boom boom pops no it wasn't 40. is that 35 yeah I think he's got the lead now oh yeah yeah he's definitely got it no he wants more more nice over to 4 000 that's pretty good you know this is going to help us out calling these games because you know we're going to play some Classics tomorrow is this in Classics well I assume that some of these are gonna be in the car this one feels like in that weird Bank in the corner Carl throws his hands up info beneathman as if he doesn't know what will be in here you know honestly I actually don't know what's going to be in the classic bank that's what's hilarious it would be very helpful for me if you could put every game we're calling in the classics Bank okay while you guys uh we're quickly looking away 65 grabbed another four thousand oh my god wow that was a good plunge oh you know what thank you very much for bringing us back in that was a veteran Booth move though I mean he's almost got like a double to score while we were looking away for 10 seconds just off of a pop cluster it's funny he like only flipped once an entire ball and yet all right 77. beautiful very nice look at that 77. you know what that is it's oh very nice ball very nice game off Adam it all the magic all started to happen there once he got that uh p and the a all right here comes the uh semi-retired Legend who's come back out of the primordial ooze of irrelevance of of a hibernation and he's back he's back I don't McKinney got a match look at that free game didn't he really saved a quarter um I think they stopped doing that because it's kind of counter-intuitive yeah and you see so many where the sockets now are bad you can never tow a ball you're in all right so he's uh he missed his skills that's a nice save oh well never mind didn't miss you the skill shot he got both the p in the end move don't forget about those stand-ups I mean that's what you want to do if you don't have your p a off the plunge and now it's pop bumper time baby oh my goodness his nudging is beautiful right these micro nudges that he's doing little microaggressions on the pinball machine but they are welcome uh let's see if he can get some time so McKinney went down the left side when he had his huge uh plunge that's kind of how it started right there oh no oh he did what he could there Paul Madison if you don't know is also the wiki is wicked shimmies are unmatched he is uh he's wonderful at them he didn't quite have a uh yeah he didn't have any room there he's had some bad luck here on these uh yeah if you just can't get those pops got him he got him lit early and it's it's not rewarded his uh all right here we go I shot gives him another chance there it is oh uh this is ball four I think right no it's about five oh is it all right I believe so it's an hour never buddy yeah exactly come on ester's talking you up let's see it happen oh is that it those outlands are just death for him yeah that stinks all right so that's that's third place for him right now right it is all right well here comes Colin man I had both Paul and Colin in my second run group and how'd that go for you I got half a million on meteor that was good for third but it's not too shabby I'll take it that's good uh it's a good feeling though like when the person that beats you ends up like winning the tournament it's like validation yeah exactly yeah right so seeing both of them in the finals or essentially the finals it justifies your uh cone of shame decision yes anyone redeems the corona shame and Chad I'll I'll take it looks like Colin took a little bump to the forehead there which is good because you need amnesia sometimes in these tournaments it really helps you yeah it's like a fresh start right be a goldfish all right here comes Colin sometimes he's got a c-ball hit ball Here Comes Colin with a very measured plunge yep he measured it and he got the eye not quite yeah you got 10 points there that's basically a hunter it's almost if you round up and he's going for stand-ups have you seen enough of this game now where he knows what to do it's definitely but it's definitely I think on one of these four player games it can be nice to go last especially if you don't know the game so well all right readjust skill shot oh yeah oh no no now the real question is does he lose a ball or not he does because every time the ball goes over the um no he's thumbing up like he didn't lose a ball I I'm pretty sure on these games every time it rolls over this truck switch here yeah uh unless it's ball one yeah I'm pretty sure he's on ball three now oh no man he's dying off a real stinker so far let's see if he can uh get his way out of it and he needs to pee he needs the pnea yeah the a isn't lit but he needs it there it is and he got the a oh no no he's on Ball Four this should be Ball Four yeah you know it's not good as McKinney showed us all you need is one pop-up he wants either of those at this point no he just needs the uh Pina he hit the a there oh he did he needs this right yeah it's a little weird the A and the p in flying carpet don't really mean much like it's like contextually you would think it would be like F and C right yeah yeah or maybe like even CA F and T right the first and the last like something that's good I feel like the stupidity of that previous exchange did not help him yeah all right he's playing down to the level of the commentary at this point get her done all right he's got to get that P he's got to get the pops let's see if he can break a thousand and that's the start that's where it starts oh they insert okay all right how about backhanding into the Pops I don't think you guys really want a backhand on this game at some point yeah you're too used to all these new Stern games so you don't like that move no because it would hit that it would hit 100 and then bounce back I don't know if you go early enough you get it like right in between the pop and the center thing oh that was with some good action all right he's uh this is good he's kind of halfway there do we remember what third place is currently uh it's like so long ago uh couldn't get it out I don't think that's a fourth right so that goes in disgust he walks away in disgusts Colin Claude is way up into the uh top four but he's going to sink back into the morass yeah the lower eights I'm afraid that uh that essentially eliminates calling because now Adam McKinney needs to get second or better to finish his tournament Paul Madison needs to survive one more round uh wait no did Paul beat Andrew there or did Andrew be Paul I think no McKinney won the kitty one Andrew bikini one and dominated okay so yeah if uh Andrew wins then it's over unless Paul gets second and then it's a tie and we get one more round look at these two minutes look at these you know you burn the candle on both ends it was jet lag we flew across the country yesterday you know I actually had to go to a different airport Buffalo would you go from JFK to LaGuardia right my flight was not gonna happen and I was I took action wow that is a gamble because that flight attendant didn't show up we had no snow and that's a gamble because of the Cross Island's packed you're not going to get up there I had three hours okay all right you had enough time though I was like you're not gonna make it but uh it worked out and here I am uh to your benefit yeah you don't underestimate the travel drain on the first day of play right I mean look at these things right you're three hours later you know past your bedtime I'm only 27 years old and these these belongs pinball really erodes the spirits all right uh this is one of these games where you've got to like flop the flips I'm an expert at this game yeah so it's bonus it's a bonus game so there's four uh Flags or four in the middle so according to pintips.net flipping the floppers at the flip-flop targets will flip the flops that's the secret move but you got these two these are yeah so I played this earlier it's all really about finding your skill shot you can get up to three pegs in a skill shot from what I could tell you get a thousand I'm pretty sure for each one and do they say yeah it flips one for you so you want to get a really nice you want to get close and then you want to get these things and it'll flip you some flops yep you just want to get as many as possible and then you want to hit you want to finish up your target so you can see uh right here in the center yeah and then after you get it in the center you want to hit the left to right post next to the Target bank and then yeah these two posts here reset the target Bank yep now what's really odd about this game is that there's only one ball that gives you double bonus do you want to take a guess which ball it is ball five ball three uh he's right you're wrong three it's always ball three ball three is the only ball that you get double bonus on some of these ballet games have pretty stupid rules yeah I had a really good yeah this is like your extra ball lights like on bonus like five will happen on some of these yeah all right back in the top four man after Jim belsito's uh dismantling of Genesis it's a little disconcerting to see him down here uh I mean can he bring himself back one of these guys is gonna end up in the top four right most likely yes yes because uh Colin did not oh my goodness all right so um thank you uh Carl for updating that oh my God he's at 176 000 points uh wow okay so yeah all right so he's I don't think player three has a role going we would see that look at those flips flop I don't know this game is so bad it's kind of funny I disagree I disagree what are those what do those holes do there um so they're lit for extra ball at some point in the game [Music] you actually want to drain down the outlands in this game the inlands are worse than the outlands uh explain oh as far as you will lose the ball yeah I got three end lanes and two outlanes and I got zero my inlanes back and all my outlands back so this is flip-flop you got them back good value on the center it's kind of a momentum game you want to keep moving these guys extra ball lit it goes nice there it is uh oh and we're playing actually yeah you get to play actually began his lit very good uh that's probably how Zach got his role I assume so that's an extra ball or two especially if you get an extra ball on ball three because then you get another double bonus do we know what ball is ball four ball four and we don't we don't know that McCarthy has um a role he could have a double roll no because the uh the sign there says player 400 000 stuck oh boy oh is it oh all right well we do we do know that Zach has rolled it um which is just done no I'm sorry Zach sharp oh Zach sharp yes you know there's more than one Zach at the store yeah you know Zach actually hasn't played pinball in years after this is his first tournament like flipping yeah McCarthy's another guy coming out of hibernation nope Zach uh plays more pinball than most people except for what you know he's got to do his AP tests but uh all right we're gonna call him McCarthy or are we gonna call the other guy sharp we call him zmac all right zmac couldn't dig it out of the outline there man that was a beefy ball from Gene Lewin um all right Zach oh it's this sack yeah I know this guy second place at Expo yeah he's a local Colorado all right well here in the booth we view all players evenly yes I'm not biased I don't care where they're from he's also definitely not staying with me so I have so there's no business yeah no bias there's like four you guys crammed into a hotel room oh no eventually there we go like you were saying don't want to get the yeah so counterintuitive I mean and you get a false sense of security because you see Zach sharp do it you're like oh I could do that yeah and then well Zach got the Outland yeah this is ball five this is the all five no double bonus we don't know that would be too obvious from McCarthy's uh body language I'm guessing he does not have 100 yeah I agree you look pretty disappointed with that uh that that stink ball what's going on here he's pointing at something man look at that long bony finger that must be why he's so good oh no flip-flop broke we're gonna have to swap games going on about there he might have been pointing at the Double bonus thinking that ball five had the bonus right yeah and if he knew if he was listening to the commentary he would know that it was ball three exactly I was already burned by this today oh you mean somebody came over complaining to you about it no I was just I was just down like a hundred thousand or fifty thousand and I was really hoping there's like a chance oh look at that bonus yeah he added a lot of bone there I think he needs a couple thousand more to light his extra ball he just rolled it right he just rolled it all right so he's in second he's in second all right and he's trying to get ahead of sharp very nice basically it you really want to go up top there and get your flags I found it a lot safer to just go for the like the pegs at the top right let's just do a big loop and get as many as you can and as you can see his um extra ball is gonna go uh alternate there from left and right alternating relay hanging under the Playfield most likely most likely maybe they got some crazy new tech back in the flip-flop wait he's got double bonus he did I don't know how he did that but he hey someone in shot let me let us know right now yeah yeah all right he got double bone and his bonus is built up he's in a very good position here to take over first place oh it's too bad that wasn't a lit man oh what a there it is it's not worth buying that no because that's a nice bonus and that's going to bring him to 150 a lot 100 and a lot a little less than that 143 and uh certainly in Striking Distance from Zach sharp the former number one player in the world um so this is actually a kind of a problem because now zax is also late for double is it just like the light isn't working I think I think that's the issue yeah I think everybody's gonna get double bonus here so it was just the light wasn't working yeah it's either the light or oh boy it's actually close enough for both player three and four to actually catch him without and if you can get yourself an extra ball then you're really cooking in the super money all right so uh just to correct um we were wrong you get it on third ball three and ball five I'll take response that was my bad yeah that was really you know we come we expect the rules to be solid coming out of your mouth oh he tells and he's all right so Zach's guaranteed a point here but he's uh he's the 22 and a group of 23s yeah unless Zach McCarthy can take a win here he's probably doomed to not win the classics good money in the good Whoppers you know fighting for even top eight is still worth your while it's admirable yes top eight in any major tournament is always uh and I don't mean to slide their accomplishments but right now we are looking at the big picture uh who's gonna win this puppy yeah we figure one person from this group will have a chance and it's gonna be whoever wins this game oh no and do you think it's next time but they have a chance to finish like top five they're gonna be top four oh top four oh yeah nice bounce okay I'm telling you those outlands are where you want to be funny enough it's so hard to drive catch well in this game that was nice look at his bonus got twenty thousand he's getting real close he's getting very close if he can max out his bone no oh there's that extra ball man yeah let's say it doesn't matter if you max out your bonus here he wants you just want that extra ball and you can get that from those upper flippers too uh that's hard I think you just go on the Horseshoe here send it back up and around there's a little off I think he was going for the flip-flops there it is nice good value um max bonus is oh boy oh he's not gonna get it oh I get it no that's good is that 30k I think he beat Zach he's ahead of Zach by 2000. sharp I think there's some Zack on Zach violence here wow so saying Zach sharp really wanted to pad his score by just a little bit more because that Max bonus with double bonus matches at 27. so all right so Jim belsito wins that one and uh thanks to the uh crack uh rig moving so Adam McKinney in first place with 28 points wow Andrew Foster in second 27 and belcito and Madison tied for third so this could happen this next round for sure yeah don't go anywhere is what we're trying to say don't even think I would say it's pretty safe to say that there's tournaments between Adam and Andrew you know stranger things have happened but one more round right one one more round it's just there's a very good chance that this this is the last round of the tournament who do we think is going to win we want to put some action on this we're gonna make it I mean McKinney's coming on strong in the late in the late games I'd say McKinney's pretty good at closing it out yeah when he does this is exciting this is where the adrenaline really kicks in when you've got when you've got that last push you've got Victory inside [Music] round 13. well we have a winner after this round let's see all right look where are we going you've got time you've got time to go to the microwave right maybe Carl's been pretty fast today Carl really is Johnny on the spot with those cameras 13 minutes let's jump into this chat a little bit and see what these bozos are talking about we've still got people asking what the what the scores are come on get with the times here how many rounds will be played this could be the last round we just discussed this is round 13. Rachel needs a snatch I think she's speaking for all of us um oh here comes Zach sharp nice work well done oh thanks uh all right I would love to show you my card but uh it's not gonna happen you know Carl unlike a lot of these streamers keeps all this stuff away from us we're allowed to telestrate that's what we're allowed to do see oh even that I'm not it's not on there we're not on the sponsors all right sorry about today's agogi and Stern unbiased of course yes I know I have large sacks under my eyes but it's been a long yeah right thanks to the comet pinball as well you've got the comment I've never worked for a time oh I mean I have to disclose I have worked for coming Marco pinball as well all right he's adjusting the antenna he's swivel if you could see what Carl's doing right now it's a one-man machine it's it's gorbit scorebit is made I always got something to say to us yeah scorpion is made uh the uh volunteers life are much easier in the main bank it is nice to see it it is incredibly accurate oh no don't tell me oh wait what the hell is this this is the worst dream ever made this is the worst game ever made but a lady just called me up and she's got one in her house it doesn't work 500 bucks should I buy it no 200 yes it's called party animal right 200 but she's paying me 200. do you know if like the boys are what do you do all right let's see it's a party animal right here I know I I know this sort of uh you want to shoot the side ramp that's it with the upper flipper I don't know uh I think one of them puts in the Pops I believe it's the top oops comes around I think if you shoot enough time to get to a multiball and it looks like uh you're just trying to figure this out as well so all right so you want to shoot not that you want to shoot this yes yes and look at these in lines uh I don't I don't know let's see he doesn't know what the hell he's doing it yeah we're getting the scorecard all right so these are what to do drop top Target's spot next letter plus 25 okay so you want to Target so you spell party animal to um to increase your bonus no the light multiball and that's why you shoot the side ramp because it spots you a letter everybody's just going on a Magical Mystery ride with us on this okay because we all try to figure out the Enigma that is party animal um so the inner second ramp spots a letter and so I guess the inline drops as well and who do you want a spell party animals why wouldn't you want a spell party animal that's the question right so I played this at pinball at the lab and uh I got destroyed by people that the the ball said you said this game sucks does it suck because you guys so there's a reason because there's a koala saying good day mate on the Playfield so the reason is that this scoop here oh sorry Carl oh we got a nice little circle there so yeah this circle this was not strong enough to kick it so it kept shooting at halfway and falling back we don't know that won't happen on this game I don't know so this game it wasn't even like a power or the game was malfunctioning the Scoops in this game fire like random power is randomly but this is generally what shoot into the Scoops yeah so you that'll you plunge into that scoop every ball uh and what about the warlitzer here do you want to shoot this thing um their targets underneath I do think it's important like there is something on there all right so basically we have no idea what we're doing we're all going to work and the funny thing is is none of these guys have any idea what they're doing today they're actually trying to sort it out they're reading the rules card on the apron if you notice Jim is actually yeah his competitors yeah that's a Gentleman Jim yeah it's a gentleman of pinball game for the tournament he should at least explain to them so Jim of course lying to his opponents about what they should shoot you for go for the warlitzer nothing but the Wurlitzer all day just all day all right here it is Neil mcright gifted 50 Subs yes wow I had dinner with him last night crap and those and those Englishmen are not uh they're not loose with the money so where is this Andrew Foster that's awesome oh play extra balls yeah you should win instantly win game if get extra ball I think that's uh I don't even see it on the play field I think we're all going to learn this oh man is he flipping himself yeah time to throw the game out okay he's getting ten thousand points so slow wow throw it out throw it yeah that's also we got one point or maybe that's just because he ball one it's probably ball one yeah he should just keep flipping now and this the flip strategy is a good idea he's got 130 000 points already oh thank goodness Jim don't try and fix it let's just move on fix this no don't fix it can we play like it's great when I will say repairing pinball machines does not make for good streaming it's always fun to watch the glass come off the Playfield and here we can see live as uh Jim belsito is working on the machine look we get the instructions here we go all right so saucers spot ladders party animal right completing part animal lights surprise something it's making surprise party ramp hey hitting toad collects Pig value I mean right there it's not worth 500. that is a lesson in life as well as you figured it out yet what score is a hundred thousand what score is 10 000 points it could be anything right uh there's the toes yeah there's the toad shot well you you can't accuse them of skimping on this game there's a lot of plastic crap on it apparently this toad is being problematic was this during the party era of the 80s pinball this is the kind of Forerunner I think this is a normal damn so this is a 1987 right and this pre this is the first I believe in the uh this is pretty party party uh party animal Party Zone Party Zone was 91 right uh yes and party and uh Dr dude was a year before that yeah so this is uh this is the first one in the trilogy if you enjoy this Trilogy this is all right has he repaired it I think unfortunately he has and I'm kind of looking forward to this game honestly like not every game needs to be won we've all seen a million times and know the right actually that's why I come to events like this to see machines that I never see out in the wild like this I'm on the opposite Spectrum like this is the last game of the tournament most likely I want to see I want to see them both blow up your nightmare will not be relived that's good the popper works and kicks the ball harmlessly over to that left rubber where it dribbles out that is a sign of a well-designed and not into the pop bumpers all three of these games are terrible well this one I don't know the jury's out but Dr dude and parties they are not my favorite doctor dude's the best I think out of the three I agree yeah party zone is like that's like saying the convertible is the best Fiat made in the 70s at those games is that they're there there's not a lot going on on the Playfield right right yeah it's not a busy place the geometry is uh all right here we go at least there's like an obvious goal on those he's gonna he's gonna flip a little bit okay the toad is not scoring errant points the toad is behaving pick value is secure everyone James belcito has successfully licked the toad now there's probably some kind of skill shot he seems to be short plunging it I guess you want to drop it into here yeah you want to get you want to get on 50 000. so look at this look at this mullet of Victory right there the excitement is building which is every plunge I'm a little curious why he's short plunging it's more about timing it than anything he got 25 pounds into the saucer and then oh there's that kick out oh how many in a row oh I only got you only got three in a row all right but it takes a commanding lead that's a nice shot ramp right into this awesome it is a very hard Ram too uh so do you want to spell out pig or out oh I see you want a pig out right right that's what you do at a party at least any kind of party I've I've been a part of reasonably just kind of sit on the couch and eat by yourself all right and uh he's in Sling land that's probably not a good place it doesn't have to be party animal for that to be about I'm also fascinated by the penguin opening a bottle of champagne into the drop targets uh there's the the titular Pig yes right there who's picking out on pizza and pretzels at the same time man I've been there is this panda a reporter why is he wearing a fedora no he's just a party panda panda yeah pandas are very big in the 80s by the way all right so Andrew Foster who looks like he's ready for a party only a five why not just give it a full plunge and let fate I don't see how yeah I would do the same all right oh yeah at least time it the first time because you get you plunge once does he have a lock a lip no that's a spot letter I don't know about you guys but party animal is a lot of letters there's a lot yeah you gotta light all of them so how do you do that again uh you want to get so the scoop kicks it back in the ladder I feel like everything is yeah sometimes it'll dribble out there's a toad shot is that where the 100K uh it was you know you don't always dance with the tiger was no it wasn't it wasn't no it wasn't I don't know man 100 000 a shot on the toad I think that's where the points are at if it was worth a hundred thousand it's almost got Pig spelled out uh he got a dance bonus there that's nice he's got the eye and animal let's see if he gets a oh my God I do like that ramp oh my goodness all right this is now spelled Perry I he's pretty close oh but he is spelled Pig he has he just needs the T to spell pig out all right you know it is this era game pick out could be worth like everything in the game or nothing I mean let's let's face it Andrew Foster looks like he came off of the back glass of this game and uh he's very comfortable right now I do like uncomfortable as he was on Genesis he really seems to be gravitating towards the party animal I do like that you not only need to spell party animal but also get the exclamation point at the end of it because there weren't enough things to spell oh he spelled Pig Out what'd it do oh why does he shoot that left yeah score dance bonus is that oh it was worth like eight thousand man thirsty as an unwanted party guest who refuses to leave shocking on the bottom end of that keg everyone else in the tournament is cheering from Jim belsito in Paul Madison here well you know the booth does not cheer we just merely Observe and Report I'm sure we are impartial impartial he's a TD I can cheer for Jim right I think how do you not cheer for Jim as being one of the nicest guys in pinball he knocked my dad out of like four tournaments well it's in a row all in good fun so okay if Jim is short plunging then there's a reason to he got it so all you have to do is you have to short plunge it and then full plunge it so that's how you get the 50. oh no is it stuck I think it's stuck in the pop in the world and that's not going to release it so we're gonna have to pull the gun it's back behind the world yeah nobody missed the side raft yet I see Escher and iron that we're on the same page here uh see if he gets a good feed no he did not yeah I don't know if you want to shoot that why nobody wants those stand-ups those seem to be of no interest to anybody so that's the way you want to see those inline targets nobody seems to be interested in this yeah and they do the same thing as the uh the Scoops from what we can tell they just bought a letter and you move on with your life okay but you could get some letters pretty quick I got a lot of letters to spell of course we that's us he'll hit it this time though no oh he goes for the long run oh that's actually good you guys right there that's good value and don't look now but he's got some letters his PPM is much higher than everyone else's in this game points per minute points per minute man [Music] third straight victim all right Outlander death there all right here comes oh wow neck and neck for first place now I got a 530 point lead that's 530 points between first and second all right I gotta be honest with you I'm getting a little tired and I'm pulling for whoever is going to win this game right now or Andrew yeah all right I'm rooting for one of these guys since we're now openly rooting in the booth Define the Convention as the jet lag really sets in to find the convention of Booth etiquette yeah maybe we should start uh betting on people I think that's oh well no we want to keep it on the oven up here I don't know we're not that tired yet everybody bets on everything now that is no longer a uh oh my goodness was no longer frowned upon so in American Sports yeah Pete Rose is like finally yeah I was a trendsetter uh are we gonna see someone spell party animal if we don't I'm gonna be very disappointed yeah we're gonna see one at least there's no way I mean there's a I mean there's a way this game might set a record for minuscule round inserts yes it's blinking very rapidly well maybe it's a lock I don't know about you guys oh finally a different Outlets this game is making me want to party uh you know actually I'm yeah you're not old enough to party yet I got one question for you yeah how you doing I'm hanging in there that's what that wolf wants to know where does it say that and the bottom right in the center right in the center how are you doing well that's how you spell doing with two o's doing you got like a you got like a a flamingo here I think I just people in the back of the game with the fake Spuds MacKenzie right no that is that that is spring break yeah that starts with the multiball right I love that game by the way I think people in the booth might get downward real tired of the uh the uh people starting to do multiball on Magic Castle I do like the other little uh advice on the side here Pig Out advances pick value we already knew something that's crazy uh yeah there's a couple obnoxious sounding games here we got that that Frankenstein yeah just gonna drive everybody insane yeah by the end of the week and maybe maybe people need to get some more dangers on Stargate just to make sure we remember that Godly dangerous sound a little more all right he's really Oh I thought that was trouble but he uh that one bounce I think but he flails wildly and does not pay the price um that so that feed was perfect for Paul yet sometimes it is far from perfect for others well I think we can agree any feed you walk away from isn't that bad I mean that there's a couple universes where he does not walk away from that one we shall see oh that's nice Scoops are uh really that consistent oh he goes for the backhands the Wurlitzer I think maybe he just missed the round I think she missed the ramp yeah um he's an early spelled party but he's got he's back in the lead so he's got to be happy about that so party is now lit what does that do nothing very very fast it makes you want to party that's all he does I'm ready to party hey anybody notice that the Bally flipper sticker is only on one flipper on this game I did notice that that is the sign oh and only half of it that's how much of a party it was party but only half of it unless it's just always watch out so every the every insert goes dark on a watch hat yeah it may let you know uh okay but he takes the lead uh bad ball but uh you know I think this is gonna come down to ball three as it should in these Championship rounds well it doesn't matter it comes on the ball three as long as he's in second place he doesn't need a win uh McKinney just needs to do well enough I don't know what you're talking about kid if Adam takes second he goes to 30 and it's over yep unless Andrew wins okay in which case we would have a tie and then we get in our route yeah around oh he misses it misses it again oh my goodness nice reaction multiple things lit on the Frog now maybe it's oh no but he uh claws his way what does that say both bonus collect something bonus collect there's two bones lights right bonus collection yeah right there's there's two bonuses there's a bonus here and a bonus here oh but isn't bonus like four thousand points it so far has not been a lot I don't know if that's worth dying I think what you really want to do is spell party him and I think we're gonna see someone do it and that person might be the winner all right Jim yeah he's these five more letters still do it I like you can kind of bounce that ball around up there to try to get that 50 on the skill flat skill plunge all right uh see he got he's getting the good feeds you see that like that was a safe scoop fee all right he's got his party gone he just got his exclamation point as well so and a couple vowels there's this n two away National Spelling party animal he needs uh the M as well he needs the L to get a w how ironic this is the Wordle oh he needs em now one away man it's driving everybody crazy yeah um he needs one more letter how does he do that anything right uh it's the it's the ramp it's probably gonna be ramp here it's just the ramp here yeah the outside ramp will collect bonus there it is this you need to hit one that's flashing yep he's got to hit that this ramp right here that's the one that's it how Hardy so now what you have to lock a ball this is doing something here maybe you have to shoot a surprise party surprise party I want a surprise party all right now he's going for the drops for some reason you know yeah it's the ramp it's the ramp again that's his locker there he is there's no way that's not his locked yeah yep he's got another ball in the shooter line I wonder if he gets two extra skill shot or not I think that's uh do you think this is a multi-bomb two ball yeah well I put one in the shooter Lane so but I mean but it doesn't have to lock another ball or is it well considering it says there's a 3X at the bottom I bet you can lock maybe both okay there we go yeah that's it yeah so it looks like they're ready to party Lobster was onto something there all right three ball multiball uh I don't know what he's doing it doesn't matter what you're doing we get 3x the points oh my God he's gonna win this thing yeah that frog runs instead of being eight thousand is probably what 16 000 24 000. wow so he just got 324 000 yeah times three 1.3 wow yeah 1.3 mil man really really this party is now in overdrive the large bag of Doritos has arrived the party is in a new level at this point we need to be careful the cops might come uh they might be summoned it's like uh what's it called yes yeah um I'm tired man hangover porkies Animal House it's the party this is what it all comes down to who can party the hardest right now it's Jim belsito Yeah ironic that the oldest guy is parting hardest is that ironic or just something that happened it's inspiring that's inspiring inspiring you're never too old to party well as Jim is showing us uh you guys closer on two million now he's got 30 000 uh so now Jim holds on to this lead if Adam comes in second he still wins it's it's a little early for that I think yeah Adam can still end this because Paul Madison can still party hard on his bike good ball that is a a party worthy of Applause oh man look at that bald spot don't do that Paul is definitely you're going to just forget the cameras are there Paul has a chance to make this tournament continue as the lights reflect off the forehead you like when that scoop rattles uh what do you get when that nothing you're not really getting anything you get the increases the value I like that ramp I really do you got his exclamation point good feed all right and he's three letters short of a party himself oh no drains uh but he's gonna have one more ball yes all right Adam all right it's ball three what's going on what are the stakes keep it short Adam needs to do well this ball and he can end this tournament Adam with a first or second he is you know and Lord for first now it's pretty uh it's a lot harder than getting second right so I think he's just looking to Pat his lead over Andrew and Paul what do you think of that little jig he just did is that does that show he's really warm up he's get the blood moving okay yeah he has been kind of you had to kind of he was on ice for a little bit there watching belcito boom this thing wow he's really getting to the party I like that to it we can't really hear the music I Gotta imagine the music the soundtrack to this game has got to be great it's like some kind of unlicensed like noise yeah someone in chat said it was it was Louis you're kidding me no yeah someone said in chat so who was it you know what it's hard you really can't copyright three chords and there's about five billion songs that have that kind of progression so all right well does anybody want to you know I don't handle it Adam McKinney is trying to start a party nice he got two letters there one little short Two Two Letters you need to go left or you need to hit that left scoop don't why is he tapping it oh okay he wants he really wants it yeah just keep hitting that machine and nice well he's in second right now by a pretty good margin that could be all it takes nice okay he just that feed was so mean but it was so nice to Carl that thirsty out lane does not oh there it is okay but he's not done yet he still needs to hit one more ramp right especially when that scoop isn't giving it to him yep one more round to lock his third ball oh no to start first of all wait why honestly I think he has a better chance shooting this shot and just hoping it comes back hoping it comes back to the flippers look at the scoop look at this there it is so fast okay all right here comes the ball into the shooter land he needs this Jackal unlocked if he gets to lock another ball yeah locks it for free if he plunges it up it'll okay well where's the challenge in that can you screw this up can he not plunge it hard enough or it doesn't no no it's gonna literally unscrewable yeah I don't know man I've seen people screw things like this look now he's just just plunge the ball and let's get to this party started come on man really all right all right you guys 50. there it is yeah one more 50. for the road all right he's getting ready to party mentally prepare for you plunge the ball Adam here it goes I got it all right I think he just got the jackpot 250 000 but I think he drained the other ball so he was only 2x um correct but uh that's really good I honestly 2x jackpot uh it beats the other people have to get a jackpot there's what we can see there is no other way to get that kind of points we're gonna need attack everything is going out of McKinney's way right now yeah thank God I was not ready for it lengthy technology oh that was a good beautiful Drop yeah now he's just filming party again all right so now look at that word lets her go all right so now the end is starting to come into view he's got 1.3 million and Counting uh basically at this point we should say I just figured it out so each of the the letters yeah are color coordinated oh nobody cares about that so the green ones are the side ramp the orange or the left scoop and The Grudge or the Right Scoop so he's not going to overtake Jim but it doesn't really matter at this point he's firmly in second at this point if Andrew Foster does not get 1.45 million yeah Adam McKinney wins or we still gotta wait to see what happens with top no screw it up no if Paul can get second place that'll knock out him down Adam needs to get second place to end this whole thing yeah Andrew but Andrew needs to beat Adam score to be in it at this point yeah yeah he's playing for his life right Andrew comes all the way back then he's in first right if Andrew means if Andrew doesn't get 1.4 it is over he is going back um to Robert Englunds not having won this tournament correct I mean with three days left in the tournament he's just gonna go home he's gonna yeah he's like he's gonna be so upset he's gonna we're gonna have to get him some fish and chips and send him on his way uh so wow that was cool we haven't seen too many people wow hit that outside round I'm afraid 25 000 you're gonna need a lot of those oh he's three letters away now from starting his party and Andrew is now out all right so belcita technically as long as Paul Madison comes Paul can knock at him out right knock at him down at this point Adam has won unless Paul can take first is this correct no if Paul gets second if Paul gets second no Paul wins Paul Winsor gets second yes
