Hey, you can't win. Fire. No. What? Here they come. Fire. Got that grocery run in before they closed. I love F-14. This is such a good game. I'm so happy that they got it here at the Flipper Room. Brutally fast, extremely difficult, pretty simple. Mike very clearly uh comfortable with it. He's got his uh kill shot lit on the left. Ah, good ball. Nice. Man, crazy to think he's got some work to do at 1.2 million. Yeah, it's it's brutal because it's fast. And if these games are set up the way I like them to be, then they're going to be fast as possible and just unforgiving. This one lets you play. It's a good balance. Mike knows how to set these games up. Whoa. No, not like this. Pone slap, how you doing? Good to see pinball people in chat. All right, Michael, what you got? Got to love those leopard flippers. So fun. good trap up. Now, this game actually you can backhand it if you have a good trap. It's one of my favorite ways to get back up top. Lawrence surviving a tie breaker. See if he can keep that momentum. Okay, Tom Cat's felt. He's ready to lock at the right orbit. Oh my god. Swish. So, got to love Williams reusing that uh hey sound from The Addams Family. TD, she's doing a great job. She's got sweet shirt, too. What's this fire? Nice nudging out of that. Oh, the kill shot. Come on. He's got this. Nice and easy. He's going for multiball right orbit. Nice. Beautiful. Oh yeah, Mike just looks like he could play this game with his eyes closed. An unorthodox way. Oh yes, dude. Miami, what up? Oh, there's the kill shot. Man, this is a master class right here. This is awesome. Mike's been playing great pinball all day, though. Not sure. The kill shot was lit for something there. Has any airplane had a better marketing campaign than the F-14 Tomcat? Like the '90s? Free game to the guy that owns the joint. Oh, Jackie's moving. Uh, Rex, I believe that's correct. I did step out for a minute. Let me check with them. Yeah, the last game will be on Winchester Pinball. Oh, nice. Snuck it up there. Knock on fire. Oh, great. Oh. Die. Easy lock shot. I jinxed him. I'm not going fire. That right one spots a letter. So, that was a pretty smart move there. Going for the right shot. Calm down. Get some control. All right, this is it. Yeah, I don't love the on this game lifting the upper flipper to shoot under it. It messes with me. All right, there it is. There it is. Very nice. Anchors away, baby. It's my high school's uh school song. Oh, bummer. Black. All right, right back to it. The wood shop and commence. Yeah, I'll I'll let Michael know when he's done playing, but I know historically he's had a lot of problems um with this location between the Wi-Fi and his wireless setup. And he's done a million streams here to try to troubleshoot the frame drops and uh just never quite figured there's some kind of crazy interference out here. Um, but he did seem to think it was Twitch related earlier. The few times we saw it happen. Well, he's caught up at Daniel. That's a pretty big progress in its own right. Good save. Sorry, I spoke too soon. We still need to seal the deal on Daniel. Well, the game's letting them play tonight. That's pretty awesome. Oh, come on. Dude, that is that's me most the time when I play yelling at the game. Just one left up there in the M, I think. Oh my god. Please get that stand up, please. Oh, it did. It did. Yeah. Oh, yeah. All right. All right, easy money here. Oh, really? It's chopping down a whole forest tonight. Don't ever stress enough when you're up there playing. Take your time. 8x bonus. Love God. Don't tell my friend. Huge. All right, learn business. This is a huge ball three. Oh, no. No. Settle. Bring it back. I mean, that bonus alone is going to put him in pretty good shape. He's Mike's going to have another ball, though, so he's trying to get up there. Phenomenal ball three though. Look at that bonus. Jesus Christ. Woo! That's insane. Where's Michael's cold action? Cold inaction pinball button. You know, if I was Mike, I would have gave it that a little bit more time to rest, but you know, it is late out here. So Mike has rough million points to go. Battle of the mics. right, we'll be right back. Game three, Winchester Pinball.
