Hey internet, Jack Danger here. I'm joined by the illustrious Nick Wayana. Hello. Um, we're going to be jamming on and celebrating the n version code update for the Walking Dead. Um, this What model is this in front of us? This is the limited edition. We have an LE in front of us with the topper on it, which you will see through a camera that we have set up. Um, but I'm going to say let's just jump right into it. Nick, you could start us off with a two-player game. And if you want to talk a little bit about it, let's do the thing. Sure. Heck yeah. [groaning] I need the prison. That's it. Yeah, prison. So, one of the things that you might have just noticed right off the bat is um the game has a lot more speech now. Um we have uh speech from uh Michon custom speech as you just heard. Yeah. And uh and then we also have a lot of uh speech from the show. And so you just heard the the governor. I have a really long list that I will [laughter] uh talk about when I'm done. But um yeah, so it just breathed lots of new life into the game this past code update. So Nick, for those that don't know, uh why would you specifically know so much about this game? What what is it that you do here at Stern Pin? So I am uh one of the lead uh game testers here at Stern. Uh so I work closely with uh the programmers and the developers um and the designers as well uh to try to make the game not broken and uh to try and make it as best as possible. Heck yeah. Uh fun fact, the OG Walking Dead was the first game I played that got me a pivotal. Dude, Pog, that's awesome. Nice. Yeah, the original Walking Dead has um some cool history with me as well. It was the very first new release Stern pinball machine um or new pinball machine in general to get a live stream reveal. Uh I worked with Stern at Expo the year this came out and we live streamed the game. There was a tournament or something being held on and it was uh yeah, this is the start of the relationship between stringball and Jupers. Good, good throw. Oh yeah, Nick went ahead and put a tilt online. There's uh there's a lot of uh funny tilt warning speech calls, so just want you guys to to hear them. Oh, by the way, internet uh does everything look and sound okay. Hopefully. Arcade, what's up? Tater, good to see you. SLC loving, dude. The longest ramp. I love that shot. [laughter] It is a giant ramp. the I remember when we brought this overseas to the Dutch ball expo. Um I think has there I can't remember has there been a code update since then? We So we've made the score we put a black outline around it before. It was just like a blood splatter text and it was a little hard to read. So we've definitely upped the contrast on that. Yeah. Other than uh other than lots of new speech, uh there were a lot of other just general improvements uh to the game. Um some of the wizard modes look and play a lot better. And uh yeah, come back as one of these. Callouts are also way better. Heck yeah. All right, let's see if I can play pinball. Oh, this has like the the shooter knob on it, too, that you can't see. But yeah, we have the the topper, the the three very spoopy looking heads. All right, come on down, buddy. All right, so Nick, what should I be shooting for right off the rip here? So, you can uh you can do a lot of things, but if you want to start your modes, there are a bank of three drop targets on the left side right there. And those will light your dead features, which are your five modes around the playfield. So, I got to clear them. Yep. There we go. Hey, dude. So, you can see the five major shots are lit. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Um, I'm going to choose this one. That's a door now. And so, you just loot this top. And what if I miss like that? Um, that's okay. Uh, you can keep looping that ramp until you shoot another shot and that locks in your value. Oh, okay. So, I'm all Okay, so I just screwed up. Uh, yeah, I I believe your value is now locked in. Um, so in order to complete the mode, you shoot the center ramp twice. Center ramp. So, sorry, the the CD. Get yourself some more time. When the power runs out, facilit action button. Oh, there we go. Got her. He ain't going to get So, I shot Bicycle Girl right in the right in the mouth. Oh my gosh. Jack, wake up. Internet I It's been a busy day. [laughter] All right, so you actually have to smash her. Yep. Uh yeah. So, when you get five walker kills uh around the playfield, I love that post. Yeah. Holy crap. My secret coin fell off. Okay, [laughter] don't worry about that, internet. That was something I put on the back of the game that I completely forgot I put back there. That's sick. That's sick. And uh I wasn't even looking, but you have finished uh CDC. Heck yeah. And you've completed Bicycle and Bicycle Girl. Woo! Let's go, baby. Two-way combo. Oh, biscuits. Um, are there rule updates? Um, no. What's up, not for this update? No. I still can't wait to play this game finally. Heck yeah. Yeah, it uh it's a lot of fun to play. Um, just, you know, from playing the the old game. The old game was really really mean. Yeah. And uh this one is still really mean. Um but uh but in a more fun way. Yeah. Uh uh some of the shots have opened up a little bit. So it's just it's it's that little bit more forgiving. Yeah. Or you definitely cleaned up uh some of the geometry on this. Yeah. Extra ball is lit. Extra ball. So if I it to get into my next mode, same thing. drop targets, clear them until I start my dead feature. Yep. Um, however, the the first uh dead feature that you play, the second one you need to complete the drops twice. Oh, so it it makes it a little harder. Difficulty. The art is secure. Let's finish off the walkers at the should really really remaster Transformers. It's my favorite theme. The Gomez The Gomez banger transform. I haven't played that game in a freaking lifetime. It's got that fun like left ramp loopy thing. Yeah, there's some neat stuff on that game. All right, I have lit my dead features while in the multiball. You can do that in this game. So, um I need to choose my mode wisely here. Jackpot. You going for arena? I'm I'm going for Riot. Riot is a uh good multiball mode. Oh, somebody's hit the jackpot. Oh, I'm going to start tunnel instead. Um tunnel tunnel is also a pretty good multiball mode. Was that the slingshot that sent the ball through? That was awesome. I I was not paying attention up there and then all of a sudden I was like, "Oh, I see the ball going around." away. So, I've also started a blood bath, which is completed by getting all three uh inserts on the left draw target bank. And you have to play field going for 32 more seconds. I got a lot of stuff happening all at the same time, which is uh how you score big points in this game. Uh DNK says, "Going to play Pokémon tonight for the first time. It just showed up close to you." Heck yeah. Nice. Love to hear it. We were I don't know if you could see much behind us, but we were just filming some uh making of a Pokemon video in here moments ago. Literally 9 minutes before we set. Oh yeah, I was noticing the 2x on the screen, but yeah, it's got that gigantic uh 2x flashing riders girl. Come on down. Super is lit. Yeah. So, you just have to shoot that shot to the left of the prison. Yeah. Shoot the right shot, which in my opinion is the hardest shot in the game. Yeah. Uh, Snowstorm delayed your Pokemon by two days. Oh man, sorry to hear about it. Jackpot. Yeah, the Carl Weathers here in Chicago has been cuckoo. Yeah, I mean it was like it went from like oh it's like 60° to oh now it's 15 with like 4 in of snow on the ground. Yeah. And absolutely just dumped rain outside for like a full day and it started snowing. Oh yeah, that downpour was nuts. Yeah, we got him. I love the So the repainting of the well walker makes him look so much more disgusting. Oh yeah. Um he's pale blue. There's like some puss. Love this spin. Heck yeah. PTM zombie kill animations are graphic. It's awesome. [laughter] Yeah, bud. It's fun. Um it was fun watching Chuck and his team like make those, too. Here's our vacation. Call outs, baby. Mhm. Shoot again. Shoot again. Oh, that was Michonne that time. Mhm. Well, so we got the actual actress. Yes. That's great. Pretty handsome devil, ain't he? prize up. The only way is through those doors. Is the crossbow mode going to get an update still in DMD format? Get that tower. Come and get it, fighters. Uh, it's Yes, it it it will be updated. Well, yes, the Yeah, the answer is yes. You have like almost every multi-killing. Dang. Sorry. No, it's okay. Holy cow. Do I have even one? Oh, I got two. Oh, nice. Fancy. So, I have uh I have a list on my phone of all the characters that are now featured uh for this in the game. And uh it's a lot. Um so, out of of course, we have custom speech uh from uh Merl and Michonne. Um, and then we also have speech from the show uh of Carol, Dale, Daryl, Glenn the Governor, Hershel, Dr. Jenner, Lorie, Maggie, both Moral and Michonne, Morgan, Rick, Shane, Tara, and T Dog. Oh my god, dude. So, yeah, there's there's a lot more going on this game now. That's uh that's a lot. By the way, I failed completely to keep the ball. That's okay. You got one more ball. I'm really hoping I want to play it because it says achieve. Yes, DNK, if you're logged in. Yes, it is keeping track. We promise. How long do you think he's been down? So, how are you getting these weapon multi-kills? So, uh you get multi-kills from doing various things throughout the game. Um so, for each dead feature, uh x amount of shots in that dead feature will get you a multi-kill. Okay. Or it's also, you know, a certain amount of combos, certain amount amount of right ramps, top bumper hits. Yeah. a bicycle girl doing the multiballs. Okay, so it's just different objectives then. Dead related. Got it. Are there any restart call outs yet? You're almost there. I don't know. What What do you mean by restart like Well, walker multiple. Um how so? Like I traditionally restart pretty much every game I play. I'm ball one because I've sucked. Uh, I think Keith might have put a restart call. So, there is um there are speech calls that were actually that was interesting. Oh, and that's good training. Um, in the original game, uh, there were call outs that would happen if you started a game x amount of ending x amount of time after ending another game. So, um, and those are those are here. Um, cool. with with their own uh mic worker speech. Is there still plans for new code development into this game? Yep, there's still we're only at 0.9. Only at 0.9 Don't open dead inile. [laughter] So CDC is one of the modes that got a lot of new speech, especially from the show. shell driven by mindless instinct. Um, from open that door now. Dr. Jenner are deployed to prevent any organisms from getting out. The the the little like animated or automated, not animated, automated voice uh that's in the CDC in the show. Um, same thing with tunnel. There's a lot of new tunnel speech. Cool. Um, just every area of the game basically go has new speech. career or what with two extra just dumping points. And I have hoardlet because I have gotten all six multi-kills. Okay, so that yellow light right there, yeah, that is uh that's your multi-kill. So if I were to hit that, I would get uh certain amount of points. I don't exactly remember how it's uh calculated. I think it's something to do with the I think we got us a horn total. I really don't remember. Uh will Rush get an update for the van going back to work? Probably. You never know. I'm going to say probably. I sure hope we get enough ammo. So, Horde is a really fun mode. You constantly have walkers on all five shots everywhere. Uh yeah, coming towards you and uh so it's really intense. Um and uh you get adds throughout this mode. So uh from doing certain amount of shots is the flash by Woodbury supposed toink when escape is lit in horde? Currently it does not, but it would be nice. I don't know. All right. I'm also gonna get 300 million. You got this. Yeah, we'll see. You can get a lot of big points uh really fast in this game. Just make it dangerous shots over here. Oh, I wanted that extra ball. Nice. Nice. [laughter] You clip that. All right. Um, where are we going with this? Uh, blood bath is lit, huh? That would be a good thing to go for. And I see you've already locked in. And there we go. So, during blood bath, you can also start other multiballs. So, you can stack either prison or well. Oh, prisoner. Oh, really? Suffering cats. Okay, that's And then uh if you complete the drop target bank, uh, you get an addol. every time I complete it. Um, it stops after a while. Okay. But, uh, yeah, Add a ball. Nice jackpot. Okay, let's get a mode going here. The hang of it. So, well walker multiball. Um, you need to hit a certain amount of switches. So, really easy to go. Just go for the spinner and rip it. And then, uh, the well walker is liter. And then, uh, you need to spell well. And once you spell well, you get your super jackpot lit. Shoot the well walker. Come and get it, fighters. You got bit. Okay, I got a multi- kill on the left orbit. I was underneath that. Where were you? Uh, hit the drop. No. Um, but now you hit it. Nice shot. Thank you. Casual 22 shaker motor is a machine gun right now. [laughter] Nice. Woodbury, what do you got for me, baby? Woodberry's all lighted up. Oh, I was supposed to do a short blank. [laughter] Way too hard. I forgot how to do that. It's okay. Next time. Has to come out alive. We'll get that. We got a little bit more time now. Don't waste it. I'm getting like 15 million shot through there. Mhm. Oh, I had that. Oh no. The yard is secure. Finish off the walkers of defense. Oh, you Okay, so you used your walker bomb. Walker bomb to give me the last shot. Yeah, nicely done. [laughter] They're trying to push through. He's like, "Wait, what happened?" And I was like, "Oh, free multiball." Nice shot there, Killer. All the points. All the points. Give me Give me Give me Give me all the points. You are getting all the points right now. I mean, the game is definitely reacting like I I just lost everything. I'm terrible. Bicycle girl. Get her. Oh, she's taking pot shots at the Looks like we've got us a swimmer. Okay. See, when I start aiming, that's when things fall apart. There you go. There we go. You got 189 million from a single riot. That is insane. Multi kill. Multi-kill. There's a bunch of points on that ramp now. [groaning] Bay life. Okay. I want that multi-kill. I'm doing what I can. There we go. Oh, we're doing something. Okay, we got a multi kill on the left ramp, too. [screaming] [groaning] It's a long one, isn't it? It's a long ramp. Okay. There it is. You think fighters figured out how to use weapons? There's one on the left ramp now. There it is. Come on. There's one on the riot shot now. Oh, that would be sweet. Okay, now there's one on tunnel. And you're just knocking out these these multi-kills. I just hit it. Don't you dare. Okay. Yeah. So, multi-kills are cool because um the more you have flashing, the more weapons uh on the playfield that you have flashing, that means uh you have gotten those multi-kills on this ball and uh so your value will be much higher. Internet, how many of you have played the new version? I know the updated version's getting out there, but or I'm sorry, the old version's been out there for a minute. How long do you think he's been down there? Oh, I got to stop trying to do that. Oh, man. Good game, though. Walker, right? Yeah. So, that would have got an EB. You did. Oh my goodness. All right. Here we go. Shoot again. Oh, hoorde is lit. It is. That would be fun. Imagine I drain right now. Okay. Oh, come on, baby. One time. Nice. What's that smell? Let's go, baby. It's a horde. All right. So, what do I do in horde? So, uh, all the shots are lit. Um, the inserts on each shot, uh, they will keep lighting up closer and closer to you, right? And that means that locker is is getting closer. And if it gets too close, uh, you get bit and you are you are dead. GG. All right. Oh, man. I shot her. Okay, Jack still got it. Thanks, internet. I appreciate it. There we go. Uh, cuz you got three. You got an Annabal. And I believe after the go third third time, third phase, you can add a ball. Uh, Woodberry is lit uh for a cash out. Okay. sort of in a similar way uh that Metallica has, you know, like a collector or keep going kind of decision. You got to die out here. Okay. They just keep coming. Oh man. Come on, Woodbury. Oh, that was a fumble. Come on, corpses. Getting the the berry. Come on. They just keep coming. Huh? Okay, we'll keep that multiball alive, I guess. Oh gosh. Oh gosh. Don't get bit. So now you can you can shoot Word Berry to cash out or to keep going. I don't know. It's up to you. [laughter] Holy moly. Nice game. Thank you. Good game. See, I told you you can uh you can get it all in three. Good game. Only takes one, baby. Uh I forgot to log in. That's okay. Doesn't matter. I'll never get that score again. Good game. [laughter] games. Sorry if the game's a little hot. I apologize. Hi. Hi. Barn champion. Riot champion. That's pretty good, dude. Exampion. Heck yeah. Let's give it one more go. All right, we'll do one more. We'll do one more. Play again. This is for you, internet. All right. Don't gamble. Don't bet on this one. I'm going to sign in for for this one. Oh, smart. I didn't even check to see if we hooked it up to the internet. That's great. Oh, I knew you couldn't resist. So, for whoever was asking about uh the restart um stuff or or I guess it's it's similar in vain. Uh that one uh was one of them. Player one, don't open deadly. I'm confident I don't have any achievements on the new launch dead. I might have to. I guess we'll see. Yeah, I might. We play a lot on dev servers here, internet. There you go. That ramp feels so good when you know it. Oh, yeah. Arthur, appreciate you, buddy. Uhoh. That feet has also uh been made better on the original. If that rolled back, it rolled Oh, yeah. You You were You were done. Yeah, it's going into the sling and then out or something like that. Stupid. Stupid. That's all right. Let's see. We want my wallet. Someone just convinced me to put All right. Stern danger. Did you take one of my protein bars? There he is. Hey, there he is. Oh, it's even got a spooky font. [laughter] I got to try this game out at it launch party in Marquee Pinball in Napa, California. Took second. Congratulations. Yeah, I got an achievement also. Game audio is crackly. Oh, that's not good. Let me know if it fixes itself. Oh yeah, that'll stop him. The only way is through those doors. You have to get to Woodberry. Oh, I used my 2x. Darn it. That was a good one. Come on down. Okay. Hit those drops. More fire power. Oh, got a short What am I doing? Oh, no. You're supposed to short plunge that. Nice job, man. Thank you. Favorite change with the remastered. I'm I love the the paint job on the sculpts. Yeah. Um, but as far as like just overall aesthetic, I I I appreciate the I I like the look of this game. Oh, now that's got to hurt. Yeah. Come on, baby. Yeah, the sculpts are super cool. And uh I don't know. I I I really like the art. Um I'm armed. It was also cool that John got an opportunity to like address some like geometry tweaks. Oh, that's not good. Okay. Hey, dude. Guess we're rioting. All right. Every shot matters. Let's go. That dude collects heads and puts them in a tank. Get get someone raided us with with 31. Hey, thank you friends. Appreciate you. All right. So, I hit that and then kiss it and then swip it and then it fails miserably. Welcome, Raiders. We're just jamming a little bit on some new Walking Dead code. You're all dead. Played the best game of Walking Dead in my life a moment ago, and I will not be playing a game like that again. Oh, I thought I had that. Are you kidding me? I blame the spinner. Crossbow loaded. Shoot it. Crossbow loaded. There we go. Heck yeah. I see you're a crossbow. Killer. Sounds like a bop. It walking dead there for a minute. Push it. Holy. They updated Walking Dead. Um, when did this game come out? Oh man, I got bit. The remaster came out last like late last year. I think it was November. Nove September. Okay. The original came out Yeah. in like 2014. Yeah. I don't uh Divisible. I don't think Kiss It was part of the Bopit uh instructions, but [laughter] Oh, man. Okay. Keep them coming. Let's go, baby. Rip Star rollovers. Yeah. Buttons. Buttons are the future. Internet. Love you too. Divisible. All right. Here we go. Shoot again. Untouched. Unbound. Unbent. Unbroken. Wrong game. Wow. That was interesting. That was it. What? [laughter] What? What? Okay. I'm surprising myself with some secret flipper skills I didn't know I had. Okay, I keep [laughter] I don't know if you could see it, internet. You can't. But anytime I drain out the right outline, my body just goes into you're going to save this ball. He's He's like tensing up and [laughter] he's like, "I'm ready to do it." And he's like, "Oh, maybe I shouldn't. Don't death save. Not on camera. You're an employee now, jerk." Uh the color response. Uh maybe shimmy. Shimmy can't can't hurt. I'm going to reduce the There we go. It's a little better. Oh, maybe that was too small. All right, I'm getting old internet. Just leave me alone. Okay. Um, ball two. Remember I got almost 800 million and I went into that ball with like 12 million. [laughter] This game has a way of just turning around for you. Oh yeah. I remember playing this game for so long and just not understanding how people would get good scores. I would like play the game for like 20 minutes and then just only get like 200 million while others were getting a billion. I was like, "What is going on? What am I doing wrong?" Um, but then I learned that your your inane multipliers are just so important for for getting Yeah. the the X's player one and then also just, you know, stacking like bloodbath with prison with the mode, the stack with multipliers and then the inlane multiplier. This game destroys me, but the more I learn to play it, the more I learn to like it. That's it, man. It's like there's certain games where uh you because of you whooping your butt. That's got to hurt. You have to show it what's up. Yeah, this I'm determined to kick this game's butt. Yeah, this game is is one of those games for me. It's like h I get so frustrated with it, but then it's like, you know what? I I like it cuz it's it's really difficult. I always end up going for just last man standing. Oh, right on. Yeah, stubbornness plays a big part for sure. I will beat this game. Uh-oh. [laughter] Uh-oh. Uh-oh. What was your score previously? You said you just hit a PBR, right? Yeah, it was like I think it was like 800 790 something like that. We'll have to look. Uh, but I wasn't logged in like an absolute butt. Yeah, so it doesn't count. PBR time. Oh, yeah. Wait, this is uh Stern official Twitch channel. All right, here we go. We might have to play a third game, Mr. I was going to say he collects heads and puts them in fish tanks. Woo! Man, that whips through there. And it what's funny is like that that shot feels crowded, but it just freaking zipped through there, man. Yeah. Get Ooh, all the way. Might have to do the governor. All right. Into the pops. Out of the pops. Got to have my um All right. What do we want here? This guy blood bath is lit. Okay, I love you. Oh my god. Wow. What the He's as mean as a sack of rattles. How am I saving that [laughter] tightly? The triple stack. Yeah. Oh my goodness. Leave me alone. Wow. Oh, was that that was all three. Oh, guys, we're starting over. Uh, since we're logged in, I'll just let you start again. Uh, my first real machine I got a few months ago was Fu Ellie. Big props. It's so fun. Hell yeah. Come back for some more. Yo, Beardy, what's up? Definitely need some stern mode. So, Sir Pinelot, here's the deal. I went looking for that. I don't think we're allowed to have it. I don't know what's going on. So, I'm going to have to have a little conversation with somebody. Irish luck. What's going on? You're not wrong. It's all the craziness when you have that triple sex. So, understanding what was done or which shots made contribute. It also helps when I'm flipping and Nick is telling me what to shoot for. [laughter] It's your choice. Yeah, we uh we're partnered, but since this is a business Twitch channel, there is no monetization to be made. So, I think there's a whole how the emotes work with that. Ah, I don't skill shot. Good save. The only way is through those doors. What am I doing? [laughter] Arm up. Score shows black font background. Uh, no. It's a red font with a black outline and a gray background. If that contrast needs to uh be adjusted, it is a conversation we can have. There you got one. Let's go take them out. Oh, I don't know why I didn't recognize you at first. I used to watch your stream. Oh, me? Yeah, I'm I've I'm old. Look, I got glasses on. My hair is gray. I'm wearing work attire. Don't miss. Those guts are graphic. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The the chewing and the biting and the It's all there. Yeah. I'm realizing a lot of gross sounds. Oh, no. It's all good. It's okay. Cuz I pushed the rig. You look great. But hey, thank you. You look great as well. All right. Um, here comes a billion points. Just kidding. I believe in you. Thanks, Nick. [laughter] You're welcome. Wow, there's a tilt pop. Listen, it's my fault. You are not going to believe this. Nick walks through the lunchroom holding that thing and I tell him, freak no. Here we are. Kill fob in hand. Hey, and you were able to get your your PB with it. You're not You're not wrong. You're not wrong. Sick. Stay alive. I hate you ball. The ball. 1 billion points. I'm counting them. Counting. Thanks. Thanks, Beardy. Witness the dangerous dance of the tilt pendulum. Wait, what? What is that from? Oh. Uh, Godzilla. Uh, yes, Yeah, I uh I brought my kids in here a couple weekends ago to play some Pokemon before it hit the streets, and I showed them the topper on this game, and they were nonplust. Like it's spooky. Oh yeah, it is a it is a cursive stopper. All right, I'm just starting prison. Jailbreak. Jackpot. What is lighting extra ball? Just starting a dead feature. There's a few different ways. I think certain amount of walker kills is an extra ball. Okay. Um, a certain amount of dead features might also be an extra ball. Sign out. So, about that billion point. Yeah. Okay. Rolls. I got two more balls. That'll put some hair on your chest. Get it. Get it. So, yeah, this is a 0.90. You still got some work to do to bring this game to 1.0. Get it, dog. Oh, you could probably I was going to say that separation but harder probably would have went into Woodbury. Oh, yeah. I I think that is possible. Woodbury 1 billion sum of all games. Roller coaster. Can Who do we have any mods here that can ban people? JACKPOT. OH, I KNEW you couldn't resist. Got me. All right, dude. The shot is so smooth. Yeah, belchy belt. Take them all out. I thought I was helping. [laughter] I don't think this channel has any. Uh, don't say that out loud, Tater. Yo, shout out to uh one of our old um homies that used to watch all the time, JP Tablock, uh passed away just the other day. So, uh huge pinball fan, big supporter of the hobby. Rest in peace, me guy. I How do I assign Who do I trust to mod Stern's official Twitch broadcast? I can't choose any of my old mods. Y'all are freaky. Your best friend for six years. Yeah, sorry about it, Ter. I'm both good at trolling and moderating. Okay, sign out. I don't believe you. We got him. [laughter] Every ball. Yeah. Everyone out of the pool. Well, 165 is not anything to sneeze at me. Back to the prison. Michonne into the dark. Let's roll. You just got everything. Okay, let's get it. All right. Wait. Oh. Oh. Shoot again. Shoot again. I was internet always pay attention. You don't want to get DCD. I was just paying attention so much to the fact that I got quadruple drained. He almost hissed like a snake with it. That [laughter] was that might actually be a Metallica Fallout. Uh, we're going to be doing another live stream tomorrow at 3. We're going to be playing something. I almost said what it is. Um, I'm not going to. And then Thursday, I will be heading to Texas Pinball Festival. So, if you're going to be in Texas for TF, uh, make sure you come and say hey. I'll be there the whole freaking weekend. You're making the decisions today, Rick. Oh, so you can choose to put the light up top. Yeah. So, so in Woodberry, um you use the left to right flippers to choose which rollover you're going to hit, and it also chooses the award, uh the award that you're getting. So, it's just, you know, you do which one you're comfortable with. Um the thing with Woodberry is is every single time you play it, if you have a successful skill shot, uh it'll double the value. I think it's double the values afterwards. So, let's go. Um, and you unlock more things. Uh, Woodbury is actually a pretty deep mode. Uh, oh boy. I hope it's Hercules. It's not Hercules. Well, skill shot collected. It's not Hercules. Um, is anyone going to Louisville Arcade Expo in a week and a half? Oh, is Vineor going? I do not get the hell out there. I'm pretty sure we're going to have a presence there. I'm just not sure. Let's get the hell out of here now. Open those doors now. Yeah, the woods are Get the doors open. The wood the the whole skill shot area on this game is really neat. No point. Everything top side is locked down. When the power runs out, facility decontamination will I just saw a laser war. Are you streaming that laser war? We absolutely could. Yeah, in fact. What am I doing? Shell driven by Is our laser war in tiptop shape? Uh, it can't be. You're a mess. I might stream freaking laser war. And then we got a stern pinball I can bring in here. YEAH, MAN. GO, GO, GO. A big game. Flight 2000. We got a lot of All of these are uh Keith Ellen's games. Uh, laser war and pinball or not? Those are those are Garry's. Those are Garry's. Yo, Prospector, what's up, bud? Feel like Babe Ruth calling your shot? Yeah, with the the skill shot. No doubt. Oh, yeah. [groaning and screaming] All right. Big money, no whammy. Stop. A new car. It went backwards. What the [laughter] freak? That was awesome. I got I don't need a more fireower. What do I get for cook? Drink quicker. You got to be kidding [laughter] me. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh no. Um, that's Walking Dead for you. All right. Well, um, Pen Pusher, what's going on? [laughter] Oh, listen. I'm going to stream Laser War. You're all going to write Gary Stern personally and tell him we need to remaster laser war, but we have to charge what we charged 40 years ago for laser war, which actually can't happen. So, shoot the lit roll over. The 1 million pressure is too much. The 1 million. Get the fudge out of here. Nice shot. Nice shot. Looks like we've got us a swimmer. Dude, that thing gets all that thing out of there and starts a multiball. Uhoh. So, did the original Walking Dead have guts like plastic guts or molded guts underneath the locker? It did. Cuz I've never seen that. There's sculpted guts on this one [laughter] when he flies back and there's a coil that activates him to make him fly that. The coil is new, I believe. Um, the knock that crap off. Yeah, the uh the guts I think were on the Ellie if I remember or the the premium and Ellie. Uh I think death save. No, we don't have a there's not a whole lot of room for uh error over here. Yeah, that's why I slid the game back. My little um we put this together pretty quick, internet. Okay, so calm down. [laughter] Player two. All right, here we go. Big money. No whammies. Okay, I'm not going to drain immediately like I did last time. All right, we actually got a skill shot. Uh, Jack, are you aware there's tutorials on how to play P? You know what? [laughter] I swear to God, where are you? You're you're grounded. Didn't you make one of those tutorials? [laughter] It was a long time ago. Shoot the ramp. Shoot the wham. Extra ball is lit. Suffering cats. Boom. Boom. What ex What exactly do you think I was trying to do there, internet? This is uh this is an analysis homework project for you now. Great game. What was I trying to do? Nah. [sighs] No, you're right. No. No. Is not is the answer. Um, that's it. All right, we're leaving. We're We're done here. Um, internet, go find The Walking Dead Remastered.90. Um, it's great. Go blow it up. Share with us your scores and all that fun stuff. Tag us on whatever stories you make.
