Wow, that was very quick. At this point, we've made it through the weird internet issue that pops up after midnight. Do you want to go another round? Sure. Okay. Do you want to play a real two-player game? Let's play a real two-player game. Show us how it started. It should be back. Refresh. Where's she going to go from this? I think there's a benefit to streaming the single player format. How so? It just gives people a chance to simply play and not constantly get distracted by... Oh, yeah. It's like seeing other people on a slide, you can just sit on a chair with two people all the way through. Yeah. I'm thinking, I agree, I guess. I've come to kind of a similar opinion of it, that I kind of like it, and I might keep it even after this. Or just alternate, you know? Like, if you need a cat-pickle-cat, maybe you play a game where you just do single-player stuff. Just saw Lollapalooza was canceled. That sucks. Crap. Darn it. That's very weird. I don't even know what to do anymore. Now we're actually rotating. Oh, wow. Nightbot's freaking out right now. I was like, I don't know what to do. We've got to send everything out. And yes, the girls left. It is Ty and myself now. I didn't want to end that with just Ty and myself, because that sounds better. Also, there's something on the pinball. Get out of here. Really? I don't know. Wax. Is that wax? Okay. Looks like it. Whale sheets. What? Fetch sheets. I'm out. Ken Somniak, have a wonderful night. Thank you so much for stopping by. See you next. And I'll see Ken Somniak on Thursday night. One of the commentators on the Total Nuclear Annihilation battle. You know, if Nick is working on mode, he could just move back here. He could, absolutely. Along with Jedi McMuffin, who will be playing in the duel. I will hear your pleas and remove your head. Aye. Oh, that middle shot, man. Silver wings. Kevin Loza did you hear that? Kevin Loza did that say it was there? it was ready? it was it was so ready another helper? no, we've already got our two commentators we needed another We could have used a fourth player. You know, driving down twice a week is not too bad. Oh, we love pinball. I love. That's so awesome, man. Thank you. But we have two commentators now. We've got Fliptronic, which is actually two commentators in and of themselves. And then we've got Pinsomniac. Two shots left. Alright. What should my next pin be, George? What should your next pin be? Buy the amazing The Walking Dead that's in Denver right now for use 4900. Really? Yeah. Maybe. If I could, I would buy it. Yeah, seriously, if I didn't already get Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I would definitely get that. So your internet comes back immediately? Yeah. It's instantaneous, and it comes in the... It's almost never... I feel like it's never internet. I feel like I get kicked off of Twitch. I will take that ball save stop losing the ball do you know who's selling it? I do not wow that was evil it is not the person in Denver who's charging tax I can tell you that much alright who's got that round? oh I've seen that book okay oh yeah there's somebody who's charging 8.5% sales tax for all of their used pinball machines. I think they have to, though. Eh. It's a business. No, no, that's fine. Just up the price. Don't tell me that you're charging sales tax. I don't know if that's legal. Is it legal to track your final price without saying there's tax in there? I don't know. No, you're probably right. it's that they're doing it as a business they should be doing it personally right like i guess if i wanted to buy from a business and pay taxes i would i would buy from i would probably buy new in box and pay taxes no no so about that 2 000 points no no dice that's right you're getting that you're getting that so uh i as soon as this is done in I was supposed to do it after the last game. So as soon as... No, no, not pull-ups. It's the... I have to give a compliment to Henry Rollins, who I know nothing about, by the way. He was the singer of Black Flag. Yeah, apparently he was the singer of Black Flag. In the 80s. See, I had never heard of the Black Flag. They're punk bands. How did you not hear of them? I never was into punk. Not that kind of punk. I enjoyed Blink-182. This thing kind of popped. Apparently not. Well, Dice, I can get you a refund, says Bensomniac. Wait, no, no, no. You take the refund over me doing... I'll do it! I saw Black Flag last year. I kind of like what you just said. Wow, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. I was there for a bad religion. I will dance on your grave. I'll chase you down. Wow. Not great, guys. Not great. Want me to process the refund? Can I do it here? Light it up! You're fighting this pathetic... Reward you. Yeah. Insomniac, if you can do it, go ahead and process it. You know nothing about him. It would be disingenuous. You're not wrong. You're not wrong. But you did get a free compliment from Avi tonight, Ben. It's ridiculously bogged up. Well, I tried using Twitch to go ahead and confirm them all, and I saw that. That was good. Let's hear it. Wait, Dice, I can get you a refund. He likes barbells. Please send that link. Seriously considering that, even though I shouldn't. Oh, okay, so one of you guys. It's a... What is it? It's a Craigslist link. All right, we're hitting shots here. Hydra 2X. And how many more of these Hydras do we have to kill? There we go, another Hydra dead. We're done. Darn it. I see. You wake the direct door. I will tear you apart. Here we go. Yes! Mystery! Mode start! Extra ball! All in one shot! Extra ball! Did you do it okay? Wait, dice is a mod. He can refund himself. I probably could have but I had a bit to drink tonight I'm just finally settling down would you be would you be more qualified to do a compliment on Henry Rollins or Fred Durst? Fred Durst definitely at least I know Fred Durst's music and I don't know that I mean I don't know anything wow that sucked I don't know anything about Fred Durst personally I do know that his music is hated and I don't understand why. Why do you have to apologize to Henry Rollins? For not knowing what band he was in? That's right, I gotta shoot again. I thought he was in Rancid. You know, in this case, there's a lot of people who don't apologize to a lot more people for not knowing someone. You're still going. Yes, I had an extra ball. No, that's what they're saying. That's what that says. Oh, a brief hiccup? Oh, yeah, we're... Look at that. We've got some red going on right now. Arc Mecca. Hey, George. Good evening. I came in just in time to the stream. Yeah, seriously. We're experiencing some bandwidth issues again right now. every freaking night at the same time how awful is that it's gotta be it's gotta be on there we're having the exact same time i mean close honestly it's within like a 15 minute window it's like a schedule maintenance or something dice says arc mecca it's been a hot minute my night honestly if i'm just gonna read that your internet keeps cutting off because your internet provider hates you while listening to Black Flag, right? Comcast is huge in the Henry Rollins fan base. Yeah, but what about actual physical hiccups? It couldn't be... So A I put all of my internet equipment on battery backup So all of my internet equipment my laptop everything I have two UPSs between downstairs and upstairs I'm just here to do pull-ups, not actually play pinball. I'll chase you down. I think I've done... I think I've spent more time doing pull-ups than playing pinball. All right, we're cool. There we go. Whew, there's a lock. There's a mode start and a mystery. Advanced bonus acts. We do have this available. Super feature ready. Here we go. Left orbit. Totally got it. Yeah, we're fine. We're fine here. Left orbit. Left orbit. My heart can use three. So will yours. Edge. Edge. See you, Nick. Nick is really leaving now. Yeah. Can I get channel points for me to burn you in my face? What was that? There's a ball save. It looks like two more shots here. Five, four, three, two, one. All two. so slow if it was here by the flipper button it would be a lot easier to do non-standard cabinet can't have that uh naz is up next uh i guess i'm going naz There we go The Walking Dead is good You won't run out of stuff to do on it for sure It's a good pin I have a little issue with the layout Last one? Yeah The fade from the pops is obnoxious It is so obnoxious obnoxious. But I feel like every good game has a little bit of, like, that sucks, you just had bad luck on this. That's true. It's coming from the guy who loves Star Wars. He's a stern Star Wars. Where if you plunge, you just might lose your arm. Yeah, you might. I feel like that's a game that should never be full plunge. Depends on how it's set up. I wouldn't be surprised if my internet went out. We're getting backlash from that tropical a storm down south. Worst case scenario, I go into the basement and hug my big bang bar for dear life. I can replace the rest. Is that game actually good? Big bang bar? Or is it just people want it because it's rare? Yeah, that's a really good question. Tyce, is it a really good game? Or is it just that it's rare? As Ty said, I don't know if you could hear that. Actually, you can probably hear him better than you can hear me. Nice. You seem really hesitant on that one there. I didn't. You were thinking about it. I don't like this tiger. You need mine. Wait, you have... Flipstream says, wait, you have a big bang bar? You're supposed to headbutt the action button in a rage, I think. That's a new bucket list on pinball right there. Headbutt? Yes. In a rage. Damn you, pin! In a rage! Ah! BBB, I like it, but it was the first game I ever bought. Wow! Love the theme. It's not gold, says Wolfman. Wolfman is known for difficulty to please, I feel like, in general. That said... What about No Idea? I haven't played it. What about Cactus Canyon? I played that at Corey's place on... Wait, which version? Virtual one? Okay. Is it the Cactus Canyon OG or the modified updated version of it? OG, just because it's on Pinball Arcade or something. Okay. It's okay. I bought BBB back when Gene and Capcom were doing the reproductions, okay? I played it, and it's not a bad pin, but not worth $10,000. It is decent, though. Oh, man, Dice paid Vi for it, and dude, that's a heck of an investment for you. I like Break Shot. Haven't played Big Bang Bar. You had the middle button. You could have used that. I would have ended your stream on accident. No, no, no. I took the button off of there. You can't end it anymore. I'm still going to move this. Okay. I might break it. I'm a serious gift. It's a fun EM-like table. Stand up and fight. I do know Break Shot. I think I've seen Death Flip play Break Shot. Step up and feel my blade. and I'm tired of it a bit, but it was my first, and the plate in it has my name on it. That's awesome. That's pretty cool. Yeah, that is really cool. Uh-huh. Will this continue playing? Oh! I think it will. I think it will. I'm trying to decide if I want to stream Break Shot or JP for my first stream. I suggest a newer game. Older games do not do well. Is that ball one? Two? That was ball one. Okay. Yep. That's not bad. That's a pretty good first ball. Three ones and a third one. Start. Jump, jump. Put your cut. You're doing well. Keep it up. Run home, it's your mom's. I think after five pins now, I have no idea what kind of game I want. Which is? I mean, just newer, in-depth. Probably a CERN. Or, I don't know if I'd get a JJP, but, again, pretty expensive. Just not 80s or early 90s and below. Right, right. Rest in peace, Gene Cunningham, a pinball hero, not a major one, but still a hero in my eyes. Flipstream with the F and check. Okay, when I head down, I'll grab my bro and let's do it. Rooskies is open for pins on Friday. Okay. That is the bar that you are renting your pinball machine from. If I remember correctly, George. George, I'm sorry, but with the latest code update, I got a Wonka. It's fun now. Okay. That's fine, man. And that was the cool thing about Wonkas. The layout was fine. The issue to me was that the code failed to capture the movie. Okay. The problem with a lot of the art in new games is on their UI stuff. Like this art fits the style, but something like Stranger Things and Monka and Oktoberfest, obviously, they still have polish. Like they have a very specific, realistic style and it's not a great, not a good aesthetic. Whereas like Deadpool, they did really well because it has like this whole comic thing. Why can I not find any shots anymore? What's going on, game? There we go. I found a shot. Yeah. Like, it's all just bad art to me. If we do a fully pixelated retro theme, I knew it would play better. One shot left. I... Wait, even Zombie Yeti on Teenage Mutant Turtles or Ghostbusters? I don't mean the play field. I mean the UI. The computer graphics. It kind of makes sense for Stern because it's... They don't have a full computer in it. But those chips have got to be a problem now. But JJP has a full computer in him. Yes, they do. So they have plenty of power. Oh my god, I have everything loaded up on the scooper and the saucer. Here we go. There it is. Mode, mystery, extra ball, and lock. We're going into a multiball, into a mode with stock. Here we go. Yeah, flipstream. It's not good. Got that add-a-ball. The Octoberfest part is not good. No, I... Yeah. all right what do we need here no the RC are the RIAA made it really difficult to play music as of yesterday on Twitch in the background So we trying to talk over as much of it as possible And an extra ball. Wow. I really thought that was going to work differently. All right, all right, all right. I just realized there are lights here. Yeah, yeah. It actually brightens up the play field quite nicely. Awesome. To stay safe and avoid a DCMA strike, I've been deleting my clips and bots. DJ DJ Mech DJ Mechlo. There we go. I have really bad eyesight. I know that is what is recommended to do right now. And I guess until we get some bulk commands, I just don't want to spend all day doing that. Let's hear it. Dr. Bosky, hello. The Stitch has sent us to you to see if you would like a raid from us. Do you have time to rock and talk a bit? Dr. Boski, yeah. This was, I think we got time for maybe, well, at least I have time for one more. You're good? Okay, cool. Yeah, we're probably going to finish this game and we'll go one more. So that would be great. Yeah, sorry it took me a second to see that there. I took a three hour nap on accident. So are you saying you won't be falling asleep much after this? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I find that if I I will fall asleep for about seven minutes while watching shows with my wife and daughter after dinner and if that happens I really struggle to fall asleep and sleep well afterwards but I feel amazing after that nap it's not very long Twitch will most likely release the tools before they mass ban. Yeah, DJ Mac, that's kind of my hope, I guess, at this point. It's a lot of work to do with the tools that they currently have right now. And I don't know. I'm kind of hoping that Amazon comes in and just saves everybody. That's the, yeah, that's the hope, though Okay, cool Nice, good add-a-ball, good add-a-ball Also, your one-letter Usually do Alright, thumbs up Ready, guys? Let's do this Zero! Dragons! Oh my god, he just ran in. Dr. Bosky, you're amazing. My ass off to you. Thank you so much for that raid. Coming in with 22 hot, beautiful individuals. And we got some follows after that. Steve Disco Newsome, thank you for that follow. Getting us one closer to our 900 follower goal. And the same there with, I actually missed that one just a second ago. That was Dairy Ball and LRO and Incest Winona. You guys, thank you all for so much for the follows. And welcome, we are playing some old school pinball on a new school pinball machine. Hello! And, uh, Rushing Dog. Also, welcome and thank you for that, Baldo. That is... I'd take my hat off for you if I had one. And, uh, Oven Feline. Wow, that is a ton of... You got 100%! Thank you so much! And, uh... That was... Wait a second. Dr. Bosky! Oh, you tilted on that You were in multiple! Oh! That was really good. Oh, man! That is rough, you guys. So if you're just joining us, hey, thank you very much for the follows, everybody. That's amazing. And we are playing, this is Black Knight Sword of Rage. This is the newest incantation of Black Knight. We've got, oh, that was... Dr. Bosky coming in with a cheer. Let me take my hat off again. If I was wearing a hat, if I was wearing two hats, I would take them off each individually. I just hit the start button, but it's my game here. So we're playing the newest incantation of Black Knight. It's amazing. The Black Knight makes even more fun of you. And there we go. Okay, so I've got completed Deep Freeze and Burning Sands. Our goal now is to try and complete five of these modes to get to the sixth, which is Black Castle. That's going to be a tall order. But we're going to get there. We're going to do some things here. And there we go. So we qualified a mode by hitting it up the middle. We then started it by hitting it into the saucer right here. That's going to kick it up and give it back. And now I am fighting a magma beast. I can't believe you subscribed. Eurydice! And gifting Dr. Bosky a 2-1 sub. Dice, my ambassador of wine. You must die being a billionaire if you're wasting your money. All right, here we go. Hitting the yellow shots here, or yellow-orange. Yorn. They're orange. And wait up a sec. The Stitch! Welcome! Thank you so much for suggesting Dr. Boski bring peeps over here. We'd like to know if you mind sharing your streamer origin story with us, why and what you did to get into streaming, and what did your life look like then? Wow, that's a really cool request. I will go into that here once I'm done with this, and Ty takes over. Because it's kind of a fun thing. Here we go, we've got a lock shot. Three shots left to destroy the beast. Are you getting ready by people who play pinball? That's a really good question. Dr. Boski, while we're waiting, I'm curious, what do you stream? I just got robbed there. It's not going to let me finish this mode, but I hit the heck out of that. It is such a good pinball machine, seriously. it is a brutal believe you subscribe to don't panic dice gifted a tier one you're paying your money you're you must you must be a billionaire if you're wasting your money oh sephalan there there's so much going on if you're i don't know how familiar you are with newer games, but there's a lot more to the game now in general. So we just got a mystery there. And my goal right now is to basically try and bring multiballs into modes as I progress further and further. I threw a bunch of stuff. One part talk show, silliness, and game. Sorry, one part talk show, and what was the other part? Silliness and game. Oh, okay, cool. Silliness is great. Do you play the game by myself, or do you want to... Yes, yeah, no, no, no, you go by yourself. You beat me by 500,000. If we could high-five, I would high-five you. You already spit, so. Oh, I did, actually. You can high-five. Okay, cool. High-five. Okay, cool. At this point, we're in. You should take that. Yeah, I should totally take that. All right, you guys. So the question was streaming origin. Give me a sec here. We'll turn off the background music. Now we can really focus here. and uh let's see dice a thank you very much for the gifted subs you guys enjoy the uh the emotes they all have sounds associated with them when you use them in this stream and there are other streams that have the same sounds associated with them if you end up finding yourself within the pinball circle uh so uh streaming how do we get to that so i saw um a group of guys on youtube called straight down the middle. And they were fun. I enjoyed watching them. That is Zach and Greg Bone. And they were recording shows, not live, and putting them up online. It was great because I got a lot of information about how to play pinball and what machines to buy. But then they did a stream, a live stream on YouTube. And I was kind of blown away because at the time, I was working two jobs and the way it worked is I would hang out with my family basically for lunch and dinner and they would all go to bed by typically nine. I would finish my second job a little after ten. If you give it a second and when it does the ball search if you give it a tiny little nudge it'll probably kick it out. Okay. That has happened before. So there it goes. and um it worked out perfectly uh and i saw what these guys had done which was to basically without leaving their house uh they could have conversations and talk to people who were into pinball and i didn't feel comfortable at the time kind of going out and meeting new people because i'm a bit of an introvert uh until i've had alcohol and i just didn't know the scene very very well. So I thought, this is a great idea. Everybody goes to bed at 9. I get done with work at 10. I could stream at 10.30, probably, after setup. But the problem was talking at the same time you're playing pinball is, it is really great for introverts to stitch, but talking while you're playing pinball is really hard. Just like anything, doing two things at once is really, really difficult. So rather, because when I saw the straight down the middle guys do it, they were they were having fun and interacting at all times but when i played pinball it was a laser focus on the game so i spent uh i don't know how long exactly but about three to six months recording locally without putting them anywhere and not talking to anybody but just forcing myself to stop and talk through what i was doing on a pinball machine to explain all right i'm gonna hit this mode here and this next shot and the reason i'm doing that is because i'm trying to open this up and just get to the point where I felt comfortable talking while I was playing pinball, which is still something I struggle with today. But I did that for about maybe three to six months before I finally did my first stream on May 10th, 2018. So we did just clear our two years of streaming on Twitch. And I think love this. We're all the third shift game streams. Yeah exactly And it made a lot of sense because pinball was popular It was nowhere near as popular then as it is now Now it ridiculously popular And when I say ridiculously like they have 300 people who watch pinball as opposed to it was about 100 maybe to 150 when I first started And that's all thanks to a guy named Deadflip who made streaming pinball cool, who made it possible to stream pinball. So all props have to be given to that guy. So I took the technology and knowledge that I gained from doing some local stuff, started streaming on Twitch, used some of Deadflip's tutorials on how to do it, and basically just decided to drink a beer and chat with people while playing the games that I had at my house. I started out with two games initially. It was, I think, when I started Star Wars Premium, and that's by Stern and Jersey Jack's... What was it? Dialed In. Dialed In. Yes, dialed in standard. So I had those two games. I had no idea how lighting worked. I had no idea how cameras worked. Over time, I got to the point where, yeah, Dice, he nailed it perfectly. Jack Danger is definitely the pinball figurehead. No question about it. Dude, I was the new TMNT. I was the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles machine for my first one. Did you purchase it? Do you want that to be it? I like that. Dr. Boski, I feel like I'm in the arcade while I'm streaming. And that was the goal, and we achieved it. I guess over time, I eventually ended up meeting other people who were streamers by going to big tournaments. I met up with Alnonymous. Alnonymous started giving me recommendations on like, dude, your stream looks great. Yeah, keep going. Your stream looks great, but it could be better if you upgrade to 60 frames per second, or if you're willing to make some upgrades on cameras and things, those are the kind of the next steps if you want it to look that much better. So Alnonymous pushed me into my first kind of hardware upgrades beyond just using a C920 and trying to figure it out. Alnonymous is amazing. Not only did he help me get to the point where my stream, I think, looks pretty decent, but he was just really helpful. I am so sorry. It was a little too close. But at tournaments, when I met up with him, Patrick was amazing. Like, introduced me to new people, was asking me questions, was helping me figure out stuff. Like, Al Anonymous is just a really, really cool guy. So, yeah, that was great. And then after that, met up with a ton of other streamers. Met MPT3K, who was another streamer and a video editor. and he's helped me kind of dial in. Skywalker, welcome to the stream. Thank you very much for that follow. You guys, we are fast approaching 900 followers. And nice death save. By the way, that's called a death save. We have... Let's see here. Oh, sorry, 900 followers. We're going to do another Translight giveaway. And there's some artwork for side blades that goes on pinball machines. If you happen to have that pinball machine, some schwags, some stickers, things like that, we end up doing a bunch of cool stuff every time we cross another 100-person follower threshold. And on top of that, the Streamlabs widget is just super far behind. We're probably a little bit closer to 880 now. And, yeah, thank you so much. The Stitch... Ty is an amazing pinball player. And when he gets going, just just just wait he shakes his head like he's not but subscribe don't panic flip i mean you're paying your money you're getting too much like don't dream immediately that would be the only way if you're wasting your money uh let's see here well man this way we can watch titanics and crystal clear 1080p while breaking cameras and smashing the glass dr bosky coming in with another 100 bits. My hat's off to you again, Dr. Boski. Thank you again so much. When did your love of tables start? Was it through streaming? What was the first table you played? Dr. Boski, coming in with amazing questions. So I have only been playing pinball for three years. I have gone through, I just counted it up, 28 pinball machines in three years. Yeah, exactly. I keep track of all of them on Pinside and I was curious as to how many I have had, and it's ridiculous. I'm at 28 total. You have a death wish. I can honestly say that I hated pinball until about three years ago. It, I felt, and every time that I went to the arcade, I would much rather play Pac-Man. I love old school Pac-Man. I love Galaga. I love, I like arcades in general, but I always steered away from pinball because it seemed like such a waste of money to me. I didn't understand why somebody would try to keep, like, just randomly flip the ball and keep things going for a while. I have no idea that things like modes and progressions and a multiball, for example, I have no idea a multiball ever existed. I didn't know that there was goals with wizard modes and mini wizard modes. And all of this stuff in pinball, I had no idea it existed until my wife, after I got an arcade machine for our house, I asked my wife for the next like big personal fun birthday present for her I asked what she wanted and she said she wanted a pinball machine Galaga is a must play for me when I go to our local barcade the stitch I'm in the same boat man if I see it I gotta play it so my wife said that she wanted a pinball machine I'm like oh my god please no not a pinball machine that's so awful but that's what she grew up with and that's what she wanted so I took it upon myself to go and figure out what pinball machine to get. I mean, if we were going to spend money on a pinball machine and I knew that they were expensive, let's at least make sure that we get a good pinball machine, one that's going to hold its value. And because I had a feeling my wife was going to get into it but then be not so thrilled with it over time. And I ended up going to the local barcade, a little pinball place called Pinball Hilton Jones here in Fort Collins, Colorado, and started playing a Ghostbusters. grabbed my attention right away. I'm like, I love Ghostbusters. When it comes to theme, how can you beat it? Maybe that's the one we'll go with. And met a guy who saw that I was just kind of slapping the ball around and not having fun. He goes, you know how to, like, there's reasons to play this, right? Let me catch up and chat really quick. Wow, Galaga, that's nice. In addition to a couple of pinball machines, I've got a Dance Dance Revolution in my garage. It takes up like a quarter of the space. It's worth it. It's totally worth it. I have never gotten good at that game. But it's one of those, like, if I had it in my house, I think I would get good at it. Don't panic, Flint. I mean, you're paying your money. You must be a billionaire if you're wasting your money. Nice, nice. Dice coming in hot, starting a hype train. And Nameless Shadow using quick crime. Yes! Thank you. My hat's off to you. Enjoy those emos. You guys, the community here, I mean, the cool thing is the community in pinball, it's cool. There's so rarely ever, like a troll in pinball is relatively foreign. It happens, but it's so rare, and I feel like it's just, I don't know why, but pinball is a very community-based sport. you play it with other people you do say which also means that covid has hurt pinball quite drastically i can't believe you subscribed to don't panic flip i mean you're paying your money really quick you must you must dr bosky you're amazing coming in look at that rocking hype train thank you so much all of that all of the hats off off dr bosky that's amazing thank you thank you again very much yeah so uh i hated it i met a person who walked me through going back to the story of ghostbusters which is sitting right here by the way ghostbusters and uh oh my god uh triple dread and uh and realized there was so much more to pinball and i was hooked i was hooked we bought a uh ghostbusters premium uh we played that for six months one of the more difficult games in pinball i'm in on this next one yeah you go first i've got a little bit more to go through uh and uh and it was all downhill from there if anybody tells you ever that they're just gonna buy one pinball machine they're full of it never going to happen it's your first pinball machine you will buy many more it's true that's how that happens this guy same exact thing uh same thing with Christine who was here and just left with, uh, Abbey earlier. We just went, she's, she asked if she could stream with me one night, wanted to be taught pinball, joined a league, started hanging out, routinely comes on the stream, just bought her first pinball machine. And now she and her husband are contemplating their second pinball machine. So yeah, it is. Well, they only buy their first. Yep. And we're a very friendly place. we welcome any and all who are a vague internet have a vague interest in pinball absolutely that's that's what's so cool man the that that's what that's what keeps me going back to league the the people who are in it like i'll give you a really good example after this but let's see if i can if i can if i can kind of explain it uh i'm in a tournament and i'm playing with a guy and he has to beat me. Wow, that was perfectly timed. Awful round. And his goal is to beat me so that way he can progress in the tournament. And I walk up to this game. I have no idea how to play it. And he looked at me as I'm like reading the card and trying to figure it out. And he goes, dude, you have never played this game before, right? I'm like, yeah. And this is the guy I'm playing in a tournament. We're playing one-on-one. And he goes, dude, all right. So this is how this game is played. You're going to do this? No, it wasn't Jackson. actually it was uh the guy tiki pinball um natasha's axe i can't think of his name right now oh okay uh jake sorry so it was a guy named jake now same thing has happened by the way with jackson jackson walked me through same thing this is after we played together a few times we're in a tournament there's several hundred dollars on the line at this tournament and i didn't know how to play iron man he saw me play the first ball and he's like you don't have no idea how to play this game i'm like yep i have no idea and he goes let me walk you through it and he walked me through the wizard mode i ended up doing everything he said i hit the wizard mode and scored the highest i set the gc on the game and beat him but and he was just excited for me to perform so well in the tournament and that is so consistent in pinball you get that everywhere and that same kind of mentality is something that i feel like once it happens to you once you want to bring that same sense of community into all of the tournaments that you play in. It was so cool. The person who says they're buying one machine is the same person who says they're only getting one tattoo. Dice. Yeah, that's a... that's... oh wait, over here. It keeps going, and it keeps going, and it keeps going. Suddenly you're just covered in tattoos. Anyway, so there is the answer to your two questions. I'm sorry that took like 20 minutes. Ty, I hope you're at least enjoying this Yeah, it's nice Longest to play this version ever The pro? Yeah, I mean it's so hard and nobody has it Everybody went premium And I feel like the pro is more enjoyable Way better It's way more brutal, I'll give it that So we're really friendly As far as the hobbies go, the douchebags are few and far between We just want people to enjoy The thing we like And dice There's... actually it's hard to pinpoint, I was just about to say this.
