TL;DR

Don't Panic Flip hosts competitive Mandalorian pinball battle with gameplay challenges and edition comparison.

Summary

Don't Panic Flip hosts a competitive "Iron Pinball Battle" on The Mandalorian pinball machine between George (host) and Manu (Mystery Pinball Theater 3000), with Nick (Pinsomniac) as referee. The stream covers multiple challenges including Razorcrest multiball, mission completion, hurry-up modes, and ambush starts, with playful banter about Star Wars lore, stormtrooper accuracy jokes, and detailed gameplay commentary on Pro vs Premium edition differences.

Key Claims

  • The Mandalorian Premium Edition has an up-scoop with a diverter that catches the ball and shoots it up a wire ramp, making Ambush mode more difficult than the Pro version's simpler U-turn

    high confidence · Direct explanation during 'Start Ambush' challenge segment where George explicitly walks through mechanical differences between Pro and Premium versions

  • In competition mode on Mandalorian, Razorcrest has five shots required to start the multiball

    high confidence · Manu confirms 'I believe it's five shots' and Nick validates this during Start Razorcrest challenge

  • Stormtroopers in Star Wars were intentionally missing shots to allow escape, not because they lacked accuracy

    medium confidence · George presents this as a theory about A New Hope, acknowledging it may not be full canon but arguing it's supported by extended universe references

  • Starting a mission on Mandalorian can be done by hitting the scoop three times (with automatic ramp spotting on first two times), rather than manually hitting both ramps

    high confidence · Manu explains mission qualification mechanic: 'If you hit the scoop three times, you start the mission, meaning hitting it the first two times will spot you a ramp'

  • Looping the center ramp repeatedly on Mandalorian can generate consistent scoring around 150 million per loop

    medium confidence · George observes during gameplay: 'it's good to know that just looping the center can get you a solid, like, 150' million, referencing catch-shoot center ramp technique

Notable Quotes

  • “Stormtroopers do have amazing accuracy, and it is even in the extended universe often referenced. Just from the movies and that particular situation, a lot of people walked away thinking that stormtroopers can't hit anything.”

    George@ 8:29 — Establishes the humorous context for the 'Stormtrooper Accuracy Shot' badge Manu received, reframing the joke as actually complimentary about skill

  • “The difference between the Pro and the Premium Edition is that the Premium Edition has this up-scoop. The Premium Edition, once you shoot the U-turn, a diverter comes down to catch the ball to shoot it up to the wire ramp here. And the way it's a little more difficult is that you can kind of dribble the ball through the U-turn all the time. But you actually have to have some fire on the ball to get it up to the top.”

    George@ 37:20 — Clear technical explanation of mechanical differences between machine editions, central to the battle's framing as an edition comparison

  • “I like that shirt. That's awesome. And the hat you were wearing earlier, you were styling today. Do you know, so I don't have any Earth, Wind, and Fire swag, but I'm wearing Stevie Wonder because today is September 21st, and it's the 21st of September, and it's kind of Earth, Wind, and Fire day.”

    George@ 11:04 — Establishes the casual, fun atmosphere of the stream and reveals the date (September 21st) for archival purposes

  • “I'm not sure if you can use the flamethrower on the Razor Crest hurry up. Not sure. And any thoughts about getting 6X before then as well? You know, I wouldn't think about 6. Maybe Boba plus flamethrower. Because when you come out of that multiball, you might just have Boba.”

    Manu@ 24:35 — Demonstrates advanced Mandalorian strategy discussion regarding multipliers and mode chaining

  • “It's like second grade lacrosse. I missed the slope again. Nick, I need you when I'm playing—like The Games at Free Gold Watch. You should just be there. This is my best thing is when I get into this mode. When I just tell people, hit this, hit that. I can't execute myself, but I know how to execute.”

Come to a final stop. Thank you. We'll be right back. Thank you. We'll be right back. Thank you.
4:00
Thank you. 25, 23, 21, 19, 17, 15, 1. How numbers work. It would help if I had my mic on. I remember to turn your guys' mic on. Hi! We're doing this again. My name is George, and with me battling this evening is MPT3K. Manu, how are you doing?
5:15
No idea what this sign means. What's up? That is a very nice hat. And this evening, being the ref, I was trying to think of another verb that fit better, but like hosting slash reffing this battle between the two of us, because we're obviously taking this so seriously. We have Nick, a.k.a. the Pinsomniac. Nick, how are you doing this evening?
5:43
I'm great. I got a nap today. I started day drinking because I had a beer when I went to my barber, and then just said screw it to work for the afternoon. So having another beer now, and here we are. And here we are. Manu, what? God, this is such a spicy Bloody Mary. Are you all right?

product_concern: Shot registration issues noted during Start Ambush challenge where correct shots failed to register twice in succession, requiring manual verification

medium · George: 'What sucks is I've hit that shot twice in a row now, and it's not registering it'; later: 'You gotta hit the right ramp. You gotta hit the right, right, right ramp' suggesting shot detection sensitivity or aiming precision requirements

What were you holding up just a minute ago? I've seen you hold that up a few times. Like somebody printed or built something for you? What is that? one of my most amazing viewers who also streams Lynn in Denver was nice enough to make one of these for me and this is an official badge stating that you are a member of the stormtrooper accuracy shot pinball shot accuracy like troop okay so I am officially a member of the stormtrooper pinball accuracy troop because I have the badge right here I'm thinking of putting it right here Now, because it's the Stormtrooper Accuracy Group, is that actually like a bit of a knock saying that they don't think you're accurate?
6:57
Yeah. Have you ever watched The Mandalorian or Star Wars in general or anything Star Wars? I have actually. Occasionally. Okay. You're being silly. Yeah. So for people who don't know, it's from the line in New Hope where they walk up to the Jawas thing or whatever and Luke says, oh, look at these laser blasts and Ben Kenobi says, no, these are Imperial blasts. They're too... I forget what the line is. You know what, Nick?
7:25
Like, uh... They're not... Stormtroopers are way too accurate. Okay, so just on the video, we got some major delay on my name.
7:38
Yeah. You gotta get delay on me. Yep. That's all right. I just wasn't sure if it was the audio thing because I can't see the stream right now.
7:47
No, yeah, we're going to have a little bit of delay, unfortunately, on Manu. Just means George is going to win everything just like normal.
7:56
So, you know, something kind of funny about Star Wars in that regard is that I think the Stormtroopers, and what I'm getting at is I think what you were given is actually not a negative because Star Wars kind of hoodwinked us all, right? If you remember, the stormtroopers were missing on purpose to allow them to escape at certain points. They were purposefully misfiring. The stormtroopers, especially when you dive into the role-playing universe, stormtroopers do have amazing accuracy, and it is even in the extended universe often referenced. Just from the movies and that particular situation, a lot of people walked away thinking that stormtroopers can't hit anything. And there's a ton of jokes about it. But in A New Hope, I think it was purposeful because they wanted everybody to escape.
8:51
Right. Not that that's full canon. I think it's a theory, but I'll give it to you. So George is at plus one for tonight already. Okay.
9:02
Awesome. So I'm going to switch over to objectives really quick. Objectives. Look at that. And this is what we have to go through this evening. I'm going to walk through each. And you guys, if you have thoughts, concerns, comments, or just want to talk about something, stop me and we'll go back. But we have a high score game.
9:27
No evil beaches. There's no tap pass. We've got complete a mission. We have start Razorcrest. We have 6x play field. We have start Ambush. We have complete encounter level one. Impossible high score. Complete hunter. Complete scope. Collect extra, excuse me, collect extra ball. The largest Razorcrest hurry up and finally collect child mystery.
9:56
Switch to chat. so oh my god i i i have to i have to give it to manu like everything i know about doing cool stuff on uh on pinball or on on stream it's it's all it's all money well like cropping like cropping yes absolutely install moving grogu challenge that is missing flip tronic yeah you know what I think Becca and Jordan were talking about coming out to Denver, back to maybe Fort Collins soon.
10:34
And, I mean, Jordan, if you get bored while you're out here and I still have Mandalorian and you want to install that, because I watched you work on that for three hours and that seemed horrific to me. That seems, yeah, that would bother me.
10:53
It was easy, says Fliptronic. Okay. So, that's what we have to battle. We have Manu. God, I love that shirt. That's awesome. And the hat you were wearing earlier, you were styling today. Do you know, so I don't have any Earth, Wind, and Fire swag, but I'm wearing Stevie Wonder because today is September 21st, and it's the 21st of September, and it's kind of Earth, Wind, and Fire day. That's all I'm going to say. Don't need to explain it. Don't worry about it. I don't think you need to move to say anything else. If you don't get it, you don't get it. Yeah, exactly. You don't get it.
11:31
It's all good. Okay. Joe Hills, welcome to the stream, by the way. Meta Nightman, welcome. Fliptronic, Soft Boiled Egg, Lord Howard Hurts, and everybody else who's here. I can't scroll up right now, so sorry. But welcome. Mr. Hardluck, welcome as well. And Meta Nightman was at a Mando release party over the weekend and came in third in the tournament. Nice. Congratulations.
11:54
So you want to know what your first challenge is? Yes. What is our first challenge? Start Razorcrest.
12:02
Okay. Which is hard because, spoiler alert, it's gone. But yeah, start Razorcrest. Why is Razorcrest gone? Don't worry about it, George. Okay. You don't get it, you don't get it, and you just don't get it. Now, to confirm, Manu, we're going into competition mode for each of these. Is that right?
12:23
Yeah, and in competition mode, I think Razor Quest has, like, two more shots to it. I'm not sure. I believe so. Yes, I believe it's five shots.
12:33
Let's battle. Fight. Okay. I love that George goes into this robot voice whenever he was telling the computer what to do. It's like he's translating from English to, let's battle. I don't know what you're talking about these are not the droids you're looking for you can see I use the British accent now nobody gets it, easy peasy yes, okay, I was glad to see you tweeting about this event so Joe Hills, thank you so much for retweeting my tweet I don't have a huge presence on Twitter I think there's content creation And then Twitter, I feel like, requires, in order to build up a following on Twitter, it requires you follow other people and respond and get into, like, chains. And it's just different. I think I only realized that recently by reading some articles about how to grow on Twitter. So I think you're going to see a lot more, a lot, a greater effort, at least for me, on trying to do things and integrate with Twitter specifically. Nah, I just said dumb stuff for a decade on Twitter. Joe Hills, pro streamer, everyone else.
13:52
Okay, I'm so sorry. Nick, you were going to walk us through. I was? Okay, so you're going to shoot the center ramp until you start the multiball, and that's just about it. Those green arrows that are flashing, well, on Manu's they're kind of more yellow because of the lighting, but it's kind of just green arrow. Okay. You can hit it from both flippers You can I mean you can roll the ball up there If your glass is off But that's cheating So Ooh Before we get going Manu Metatnightman Asks if you're playing A physical Mando On a Tuesday night Yeah Sorry We almost forgot to mention Really quick That this is the pro Versus the premium And it's, there could be some differences, and we're kind of celebrating the differences in this duel. So, we'll see. But, yeah, this is, no, this is physical. Okay.
14:59
Are you ready to get this going? Envanu, can you please do the countdown for us? Let's get physical. I don't remember it. I think about eating stuff and using your teeth. I don't remember it. Feel the rhythm. Do the thing, eat the stuff, and here's your bling. Let's go.
15:27
All right, so so far it's very quiet. George has hit. Okay, they're about even right now. But I think Manu's a little behind on video, so I think Manu's a little ahead. Manu's got one more. I started.
15:43
I'm already done. Oh! Nice job. I can't... I need you to, like, stay when it happens. Yep. Otherwise... I apologize. No, no, no. So... No, no, no. Manu's got that one by far. When I looked up, knowing that there was a delay, he already had it.
16:05
It could have been super close, but that goes one for Manu. Wait, wait, wait, this is the fun part Challenger scored Wow, what is wrong with you, George?
16:28
Damn Yeah That was pretty Alright, ready for your next one? Pretty baller Yes, ready for the next one Complete A mission Complete a mission. Okay. And we're doing this in competition again. In competition mode.
16:50
Okay. Things are a little bit harder. Just a little. Okay. Now, Manu, can you walk us through what needs to happen in order to qualify a mission?
17:03
Okay. So to qualify a mission, you have to hit the left ramp and the right ramp plus hit the scoop to start the mission. Now, here's the thing. the game gives you a cheat on the first two missions. If you hit the scoop three times, you start the mission, meaning hitting it the first two times will spot you a ramp. It's spot, spot, then start. So, George, if you want to hit the ramps and then hit the scoop, go for it. I usually hit the scoop three times to start the mission. At that point, completing the mission is going to be up to which mission it is. Some of them are a little harder and some of them have phases. so we're going to ask Chad and of course Nick is the referee to try and I will call it out I'll call out Dunn or George will call out Dunn when the mission is actually completed and it's usually a shot to the scoop which will complete the mission and notice when we're in competition you can see on both of our play fields all of the ones are lit so the first Razor Crest, the first mission and the first encounter, we can mess things up and potentially hit mission number two or three by hitting, was it the stand-up targets around the right ramp? Is that correct, Manu? Yeah, the stand-up targets. For some reason, my Razorcrest is at two. I don't know why. But the ramps change the mission numbers. The stand-ups next to the ramps. Sorry, are you wearing some official pinball gear right now on your right wrist?
18:36
I'm hurt. Oh, is that actually a... I'm pretty sure that's a Bex Bex Rex. It's a Bex Bex Rex special. Okay. I'm doing this because I love you, George. Really quick, thank you. Thank you. I am so sorry that you're both in pain, but thankful that you're here. Also, Arthur Pendragon, eight-month subscription. By the way, Arthur, I'm so sorry. I have, just because of the battle, I have the alerts turned off right now. So, Nick, if you happen to see one of those come through, do you mind saying something while we're playing? Use the scribes. Don't panic.
19:16
I mean, you must be a billionaire to watch someone else play pinball. That was great. Okay. Are we ready to start this one? Yeah. Feel the rhythm. Feel the rhyme. Get on up. It's pinball time. Plunge away. Okay.
19:56
Oh, no. Why it's so hard. George has hit a total of no ramps. Got one there, just for you. Oh no, he did hit two ramps.
20:06
George is about to start his mission. He's just got to settle the ball down. Yep. Manu can't find the backhand on the left ramp. Or the forehand!
20:15
Yep. We just... We won't talk about that, Manu. It's fine. All right. So I got a mission shot, but I'm also starting an encounter, so I'm using the flippers to get out of it as soon as possible.
20:40
Monty moved to the second mission. That's an interesting strategy there. Got him. Let's see how it works out for him.
20:49
Oh, it wasn't on purpose. I'll take that shot. You have to see if the magistrate versus find the asset.
21:04
All right, so I think I've got one last shot on my mode here, so I'm going to try and let this drain out quickly. Know which one is harder.
21:14
Wanu also just started a multi-ball, so he's going to have some quick shooting here. He just can't find that left scope orbit. U-turn. It's kind of a U-turn.
21:30
This is a tough one with multi-tops. Completed the mission. You got it? Yep. You just got it. Now that this battle is over, I do have to say, your quickest way to complete the mission would have been to start the mission and drain.
21:50
No, that's not a completion that ends the mission. although I like your thinking that is definitely outside the box thinking so but it does complete the mission so semantics right it doesn't do very well at the mission right I still would have accepted it just letting you know yeah this is one of those stern games where it's like alright you don't have to fear we got the Ghostbusters treatment because not everybody plays pinball like we do. You know? Oh, look! It's Bumper Nugget!
22:30
Bumper Nugget! Welcome! It has been a while! VP Fiends, I'm so sorry on the tap pass. I did try. I don't know if you noticed there at the end. I was actually trying.
22:41
I'm trying. I scored. I miss you say that you scored, so. Very nice. Alright, your next challenge objectives is the largest RC hurry up and RC stands for Razorcrest not remote control alright Nick on this one you're going to have to be there for us switch to chat well it's a good thing that I'm just going to walk away and stop being here then I'm just saying that the hurry up for Razorcrest disappears very quickly. Indeed it does. That said, it has to be the largest displayed. Now, I might ask for help from chat for clips if need be. So,
23:36
hopefully I can hopefully they'll help me out a little bit. I'll try and call out as close as I can to what the number is going to be. If you call out just when you say, got it, that would be the most helpful there. Okay. Let's take a brief moment, though. I mean, we're a couple in, 24 minutes in. Let's give just a real quick thought. Manu, what is going to be your strategy for this largest RC hurry-up?
24:05
Well, it's going to be get through Razorcrest multiball. It's what you have to do. Right. And then I'm not sure if you can use the flamethrower on the Razor Crest. Hurry up. Not sure. Thank you for saying that. Yeah. I didn't know about that. And any thoughts about getting 6X before then as well?
24:35
You know, I wouldn't think about 6. Maybe Boba plus flamethrower. Because when you come out of that multiball, you might just have Boba. In fact, I have some Boba writing.
24:51
Rum and Pint. Rubber Chicken. Oh, these are all different things for RC. I get it. That makes sense.
25:00
Let's battle. Up for it. Competition mode, everybody. Competition, got it. That's my rank. no randomness no child I also may change some of the challenges depending on other thoughts that I had that you didn't add in there but we won't worry about that right now that said Rhino Cumberbund I think I like that one Rhino Cumberbund three two one plunge looks like George is going the multi-ball way this is the way Manu's nailing those shots well George is in his multi-ball Now remember, this isn't the fastest Razorcrest hurry-up collected This is the largest Yep Razor charcuterie
26:30
So, Mono is... Mono's at a ball? Is that why you... I think he's trying to circle out. Yeah, I just grabbed an at a ball as well.
26:41
So, you're both in jetpack. No, how do you get an at a ball in Ice Fighter? Mono can't hear me. Oh, sorry. I didn't... I don't... I don't know. Okay, I don't think there is an at a ball in Ice Fighter, which is why I say that. All right, so George has his hunter ready for when he comes out of this. Looks like he's also collecting a bunch of Bascar, which is an interesting move.
27:13
Is he trying to buy a Playful Mothfly? What? All right, George's super jackpot is lit. I believe that has to time out or be collected before Razorcrest can start.
27:30
the hurry up countdown. So, keep in mind, this is just the target that you have to hit, I believe. You don't have to go all the way up.
27:41
5.2 Shit. I'm done. So, I only got 5.2 million, so all George has to do is beat 5.2 million. I think I just get there. Do we have a full game to do it, or is it just one and done? I'm guessing at this point it's, Well, he could go into another multi-ball and try again.
28:05
He will. Okay. Let's see, what am I at on Foundry? 248? That's not enough to buy a multiplier. You need 400 for the multiplier, I believe, or 350. Okay, so I'm going to hit this other target over here. No alert? Flipstream, how is there no... Oh, I have it turned off for this right now? I'm so sorry. What's Flipstream? Is it the same as Manu's?
28:31
I don't know. Do they have the same? I don't know. Crap. That's why I'm asking. I guess I'm going to pass. Wait, hold up. I can do the... You could go random.
28:45
Oh, yeah, I'm going random. Is that an option right now? No, I can pass or I can light save, light scope. Oh, yeah, I'm lighting scope. Light scope. Wow.
29:03
Alright, so you have one full game here. It's not just a one and done. Trying to hit Boba. Did he just say don't panic? He said you're astute panic. It suggests that you understand the situation. Okay. Don't panic. I don't think George has watched this show. I'm beginning to believe that too Nick which puts Manu at a major advantage not in pinball but I've totally seen the show what's the issue there crikey I lit scope and then I didn't hit it 15 million 13 million Nice!
29:59
16 million. There's 13-5, 18. 15. 16-5. One more to light Razorcrest, hurry up. So I gotta go left orbit.
30:15
15-2. So we got 16-5? No! Yeah, 16-5. Is scope still lit? Okay, scope is lit, but I lost Hunter. Darn it. All right. Oh, that's why scope wasn't lit, because Hunter takes it over.
30:37
Five shots. I know. All right, one more to start that. I've got ambush, and I've got scope. I've still got the fiery thing over here. I have spoken. Pinball Mafia, welcome to the stream. What am I at? Oh, I have enough best card to buy a multiplier. What's up, Alan? All right.
31:05
Yeah. I need to pay a little more attention to the chat, but I'm trying to pay attention to the scores, too.
31:10
Sorry, everybody. Random, add a ball, new level is lit. Like, wait. I thought you said it was $350 or something to get a multiplier.
31:21
I guess I lied. I'm sorry. Expensive. Multiplier is expensive. It might be $800. Okay, I'm doing random.
31:30
You gotta hit the button. I got an add-a-ball? Crap. I'm too far. I'm at the wizard mode. So I gotta stop at this.
31:45
I'm at the wizard mode. I can't do it anymore. I think there's another one after the wizard mode. Okay. Nothing like hitting through all three multiballs, just real quick.
32:02
I'm at 3,000,000. Five. I got four seven. That's it. Is that ball three? No, that was not ball three. I guess I technically have one more I can go through.
32:19
Let me see. Let me see if I can get to another one. Nick, what was my nine? 16 something? 16 five. It's like 15487 or something like that.
32:31
I can't advance Razorcrest because it's already there. I can take this again, though. If I get to it again. I mean, it's good to know that just looping the center can get you a solid, like, 150.
32:48
I've never done that before, ever. Yeah, seriously. Just over and over. over and over just do a nice little catch shoot at the middle do a nice little catch shoot at the middle it's kind of like when you walk there it's kind of like what? you guys want to put up good scores on uh man no just do this just over and over alright uh this one's gonna be tough cause I gotta let it drain uh or I can work on some multipliers maybe I don't think I really can, though. No, you can't. I mean, you can work on Bascar, but that's not really... I can work on Bascar, yeah, that's about it. What am I doing?
33:35
And what shots do you need to get in order to work on Bascar? Uh, the... Yeah Hunter will get you Bascar Sculpt will get you Bascar Top Bumpers will get you Bascar Missions will get you Bascar It just really just car It just really just playing the game Yeah playing the game will get you best car Like, not draining?
33:57
How do I time this out? I can't time it out. I'm screwed. I'm so screwed. You don't need to time it out.
34:08
How do I get out of it? Just keep hitting your safe shots. Hit your center shot. The timer will go if you're hitting... Oh, you're right. Hey, is Nick supposed to be coaching? Yeah. Okay, good. Yeah, it's like second grade lacrosse. I missed the slope again.
34:30
Nick, I need you when I'm playing team games at Free Go Watch. You should just be there. This is my best thing is when I get into this mode. When I just tell people, hit this, hit that. I can't execute myself, but I know how to execute. I failed. I saw that, George. We were just not going to talk about it. We're done with this one. Okay, good. You're going to get out of this.
34:58
Challenger scored. I would have let you overboard. Makes unflinching eye contact with George and swallows egg.
35:06
Second place, Andy. Welcome to the stream. Also, great job on, was it, Johnny Demonic Stream. earlier today on Tron. Amazing game, absolutely beautiful and great stream.
35:19
Uh, your next challenge is Start Ambush. Start Ambush, yes. I can do this one. I don't quite know how to do it, because I've not really focused on that in-game, because it's not... Is it worth it?
35:39
Uh, you know, we hit it yesterday. Like, Manu was trying to walk us through how to do ambush, and I got to it. I didn't bring any multipliers in. Oh, that was, I forgot to turn on the flames for the hurry up. I've got to remember to do that. Yeah, you've got to flame on, George. You've got to flame on. Okay. Also, Flipster would like to offer you a tuna milkshake. Oh my god. I'm good. Don't need it. It sounds way worse in, no, it sounds awful no matter what. Yeah, it just sounds really bad all the time. go for the wizard mode. You know, I don't have on here anything for just getting any wizard mode, and that's kind of open-ended and nice.
36:19
Again, things that I have in my mind that I might surprise challenge. So, the only thing I want to mention, this is not an excuse, the only thing I want to mention is that is it starting ambush, is the thing? It is start ambush. Yes. Okay. The difference between the Pro and the Premium is that the Premium has this up-scoop. I don't know if you guys can see it. When you switch it back to the playfields...
36:48
Wait, is Mr. Scoot here? Because I was going to ask, what's an up-scoot? Or what's up-scoot? Darn it. I ruined it. I'm just walking over here. Go take a drink from your sink.
37:02
They call it a scoop, actually, on the table. But the Pro version has a little U-turn. And that's it. You can shoot that U-turn to start your ambush. The premium, once you shoot the U-turn, a diverter comes down to catch the ball to shoot it up to the wire ramp here.
37:20
And the way it's a little more difficult is that you can kind of dribble the ball through the U-turn all the time. But you actually have to have some fire on the ball to get it up to the top. Which is good.
37:33
I should dribble. Play Mon Button and get that fire on the ball, Manu. All I'm hearing right now is excuses. Okay, okay, okay. Winners find a way. Winners find this is the way. This is the way. George, make yourself a whiskey sour, some egg whites, and tuna juice. Oh, my God. Is tuna juice a thing? God.
37:56
Is that just the water that you would squeeze out of from a can? I have to go throw up. I can't. I'm sorry, everybody. Go ahead and plunge away, y'all. Oh, wait. I got to get into competition mode. Yeah, I got to count mode. Oh, right, right, right. Wait. What's our challenge again? Oh, yeah. First to complete ambush. No, no, no, no. To start ambush. Start ambush. I'm sorry. Sorry. Start ambush.
38:26
Okay. Go ahead and count us down, Nick. Three, two, one, go. All right, got really quiet there. No coaching from me. I have no idea what to do in this situation. Okay, so you just hit this ambush shot right there.
38:51
I have a big advantage here, I think. I think so, too. I'm going to try and keep up.
39:00
All right, so I've got one. I think you've hit it twice. No, no, no. I've got one completion, one thingy of ambush. You need three of them to get going. Where's that tracked?
39:19
That is an excellent... Oh, man, it didn't give me it. Oh, two more until the... Okay. One thing to notice is it's a hurry up. After you initiated it with one shot, You have to hit the extra shot within, I think, five seconds or ten seconds. Otherwise, it starts it over.
39:40
Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah, so... That's what happened to me. I have one shot on it. George is just about to... Can he do the pop-up? Nope.
39:55
Also, who calls a backflip a pop-up? Anyone? I just heard it recently, and... Pop-up? Yeah, like, if it's resting on your right flipper, you do a pop-up to have it roll up the right flipper, so you can do a backflip or a pop-up.
40:13
Damn it. I like backflip more. Sounds cooler. So, Nick, if you notice... Okay, I'm done. So... Wait, you got it? Yeah. No, I'm sorry. I failed. And if I don't get a shot at restarting the game, then I'm done.
40:35
If you both fail, we will just re-plunge at the same time. What sucks is I've hit that shot twice in a row now, and it's not registering it. Really? Let's take a look. See if you can...
40:48
See if you can... Backhand the U-turn to enable it. And then as it lights, when it's lit, you have to hit it again to give yourself one ambush shot. Ambush is lit. You got it. Oh, you gotta hit the right ramp. You gotta hit the right, right, right ramp.
41:08
But George, I'm gonna give this to you because... Yes! There it is. Yeah, we get to learn how George spent his Friday night last night. Or his last week.
41:20
You gotta tap past it, though. I don't know if you saw that. No, I did not! That's awesome! We did. So, George, how did you spend Friday night? Uh, I don't... Shoot, what did I do Friday night last week? You're just... Because you won the challenge.
41:39
Oh, this is just a question? Because I won, I get asked what I did Friday night last week. No, no, no, no, no.
41:45
You... Tell your bot who won the challenge. Oh! What did you do Friday night? I'm slow. He usually talked to your butt? I scored.
41:59
Diesel raiding with a party of two, Pinball Whiz raiding with a party of eight. It's a double raid. Is that a double rainbow moment right now? Is that an ambush? Are you freaking out? Also, how is that not a double raid bow?
42:15
Oh, wow. Missed opportunity for me, but that's a thing going forward. A double raid bow. I think we need to figure out a double raid bow animation in Leorn for MPT3. Okay. You got it.
42:32
Yeah, that's the thing. But your book, I know your book's around. Book's upstairs. All right. Full-on double rainbow. This is not my stream.
42:46
Now, Pez Johnson, welcome to the stream. Pez, how you doing? Great to run into you, by the way, and Nick, who's on the stream right now, at Dory Hill two weekends ago. I guess it was two weekends ago now. What's Dory Hill, George? What was that? Interesting. I'm so happy you asked that, Nick. Dory Hill was a mixture of camping and pinball. It was a great tournament. Lots of people there. I don't know how many. Was it like 40 or 50 or was it more than that? We have 46 tables, 36 of them within the actual pin golf tournament, and 108 participants, I believe. Woo!
43:32
108. Now, has anybody seen the overall results, like what places people have got? Because I haven't seen that posted anywhere. IFDA has not been posted yet. I know good old Donovan Stepp. won it all on the A side of things. But I know plenty of people around the U.S. are trying to plan their own Dory Hills. You're welcome to use the Dory Hill name so that a Dory Hill tournament is a camping pinball tournament. But that said, we're not going to talk about golf now because we are going for a high score. But only in impossible mode.
44:13
Let's battle. you look very concerned Monir any questions guess not alright very hard no trapping multi ball so no one brings generators it is a more of a camp ground where there's RV hookups yep
44:44
And Pez... Oh, sorry. Go ahead. Pez is just throwing puns out and dad jokes. I'm kind of a big guy. Nicely done. Nicely. And the soft-boiled egg. Awesome name.
44:59
Manu, what are you drinking this evening? Because that looks interesting. This is Thai iced tea. This is Merlot.
45:11
Nice. You're double missing. Yeah, I'm going to mix them together. I'm also double fisting. I have a grapefruit hard seltzer from Jove Cuervo on the right, and maybe the spiciest Bloody Mary I've ever had from Cutwater, their spicy Bloody Mary.
45:30
Mmm. So good. Gamer Chris Plus Pinball, welcome to the stream. Wow, I think I hit my maximum limit of followed channels. Wow. Did we do a big follow?
45:42
Wow. Oh, and Gamer Chris Plus, we have alerts turned off tonight for the battle, but thank you so much. My hat's off to you for that follow. I can't do a good four throws a ball at a window, it gets hit in the face impression. I'm sorry.
46:01
It's fine. Okay. We got five seconds, y'all. Four, three, two, one, plunge away. All right, so impossible mode. Let's talk about this for just a moment while these two are kind of draining. Yeah.
46:27
This is no ball save. All of the modes are harder to start. All of the multiballs are harder to start. You cannot trap up. If you notice on the left and right side of the playfields, You see a little blue line for each flipper that turns red when you hold the flipper up and kind of starts doing a countdown. If that goes and empties, that flipper will die and you will just let the ball go.
46:54
I do have to say, I successfully won the prize at Blizzard Mountain Pinball. That's in Conifer, Colorado. Awesome, awesome place. If you're in Colorado, go visit it. And hit $172 million. on impossible mode, which was really good. I got into multiball. Multiball is ridiculously impossible in impossible mode. Get in there. George looks like he started his multiball. I did start multiball. The best thing for this mode is a lot of dead bounces. A lot of dead bounces. Tell me about it.
47:41
And, like, using a lot of flutters as much as you can. Son of a... Okay, so a possible mode is... You can't... You don't get a free mission shot.
48:00
Again, everything is harder. It turns the competition mode times seven, basically. Not seven, maybe three.
48:10
George continues to hit the shot that does absolutely nothing for him. Holy smokes. I was trying to time that. It was a decent, almost cat pass. There we go. We're doing things.
48:34
Thank you. Gamer Chris had to unfollow three other channels just to follow us. How amazing is that? Gamer Chris plus Pinball. Sounds like we were doing Gamer Chris plus Don't Panic Flip. Huge shout-out. Thank you.
48:52
Also, while you're following people, let me throw it out there. MPT3K is the person I'm battling right now. amazing streamer. I mean, honestly, one of my favorites. And then we also have ThePensomniac who is announcing another amazing streamer. Both stream pinball. I will point out that Manu streams on Friday nights and does a movie theater riffing. Which is just... It's competitive riffing. It's not even a riffing.
49:23
It is gamified incredible riffing. Thank you. I mean, mostly because of chat, because he doesn't really rip as much himself, so... I don't. I suck at it.
49:38
Jordan's sitting at 71 million? Looks like Manu just got his extra ball, though. What?! It's a good game.
49:50
Oh no, I said that I drained with three acts! Manu almost had the same fate but nudged it out nice so Manu has some whistling birds I already used them uh Manu's at 260 absolutely crushing it Manu what has been your strategy this entire time
50:22
uh at least they not suck I what am I don't know act like a vacuum that needs repaired and not suck I'm taking uh mysteries from the foundry actually I'm letting it give it to me for cheap um whatever it wants to give me oh interesting building up the bascar and taking yeah mystery I'm taking a mystery have you noticed has your magnet grabbed the ball at all this mode. In impossible or cop mode, it doesn't. Oh, you told us that.
51:02
I wasn't sure about impossible mode, but it seems that's the case. You do have one child left, though. So your child is lit. I'm curious if you hit an orbit if it will do that.
51:17
That looks good. Let's see. It shouldn't. Don't give away your secrets? No, that's all good. They're not really secrets.
51:30
Now, I don't know if most of you know George, but he does go back and study every single duel that he's... What?
51:36
Does he really? No. Let me commentate. Uh, ooh, IceKidoo has a really good strategy you two should, uh, should employ. Keep the ball above the flippers. Okay, I like, I like that. It's a good strategy, Cotton. I hope it works out for him.
52:07
I think I'm in a multi-ball. Oh, crap. You're in jetpack now. Oh, you didn't hold the button! Oh, okay, you're still holding it. Gotcha.
52:17
Until... No, the magnet, the magnet is on right now, yeah. That's fine. It's not that big of a difference. Alright.
52:30
Give me the freaking ball, bro! Ooh, George with an awesome save! I don't know if anyone saw that, but that was clutch!
52:37
Sitting in his ball three. His extra ball is almost ready, I believe. Damn it! George has his super lit. I gotta hit that. It's also on fire. Oh my god, I want it!
52:54
Gimme, gimme, gimme. George probably has about 10 more seconds on that super. It is a 20 second timeout once you get out of multiple.
53:06
Ooh, George starts one of his two acts. It's on fire! Can he hit it? I can't hit it! Just give me a shot!
53:16
George has another massive save when he tilts! Manu putting up the game of his life at 352 million. Oh my god. Loser Kid, welcome to the stream. I'm so sorry you believed in me. Because I don't think I... That is the longest tilt screen I have ever seen.
53:39
I'm the impossible grand champion with something. Loser Kid, with a sub! I totally missed that. Loser Kid, what are your initials? I kind of want to put LOS.
53:51
Is that also LaserList? Which, again, is also another awesome pinball streamer. I was going to say pinball follower, but I skipped ahead like seven words.
54:05
This one's for you, Norma. This one's for you. We don't know what George's score is yet. I don't think it's 400,000, though. Or 400 million. Wait, it's loser of the LSR. That's what I got to do. New Jersey coffee, junkies. That was great. The pinball is great. What was it? That's for you, Norm. 130.
54:27
George just got banked. Challenger scored. Magu, well played. Well played. We are just about to halftime, everybody, which means absolutely nothing.
54:45
But we are going to complete Hunter. We're going to complete Hunter. Okay. So, George, what is going to be your strategy for completing Hunter? For completing Hunter, I am going to, hold on a second, switch to main.
55:06
So over here on the left side, there are three targets right there. So I'm going to hit those three targets, which is then going to light Hunter on one of the in lanes. You then, I'll try to probably hit the left ramp because my right ramp shot is weak AF right now.
55:24
You can move which one is lit. It lights one of the targets and you can move it based on flipping the left and right flipper. I'll trigger it. That then forces you to hit the left and right orbit. So that's what I'm going to do. I don't know if there's some other way to initiate it via maybe like via the child or something like that. Oh, or maybe you can do it from Beskar. I'm pretty sure the only way to do it is the way you just said. Yeah. Okay.
55:56
Switch to chat. Now, I'm going to throw a little wrench in here. Okay. It's going to be first to complete Hunter.
56:04
Ball takes precedence, though. So, say Manu does it first, but it's on ball two, and George does it on ball one.
56:12
George wins. Okay. Because this is such a throw-the-ball-into-absolute-ridiculousness mode,
56:23
it's going to be first to do it on the first ball, or on the earlier ball. Okay. But then if we both do it on ball two, it comes down to who did it faster.
56:36
We all had Jenkins! We got a raid. Captain Zanzibar, thank you so much for that raid and bringing nine beautiful people over here. My hat's off. What's up, nerd?
56:51
Battlestream. That's exactly what we have going on here right now. And I... It's competitive. Like, it is actually coming down to... I mean, as long as you don't count the last match in which Mandu destroyed me. If you don't count that, it's actually been super competitive. So, yeah. So yeah. Let's battle.
57:12
So yeah. Fight. My God, I love these audio commands for scene changes. I just, like, yeah, that's fantastic. Well, very well done.
57:26
Anyway, should we play some pinball? Yeah, are we doing this one in competitive mode? Is there a reason to do it? Yes. We'll all have them in competitive mode. Okay. Yeah. I am ready for the countdown.
57:43
Reel the rhythm, do the thing, eat the stuff, and here's your bling. Plunk away. Janelle asks if we can get a Madden-style breakdown on the screen. I'm guessing like with somebody hand-drawing things. I would love to, I just forgot my pen.
58:05
All right, so I have lit Hunter. I just have to hit a ramp. Ooh, George with a major save to keep all one alive.
58:25
Damn. That's great. Ah, crap. All right, so I got the first shot. I'm having trouble with that shot. Got it. Hunter, done. All right.
58:49
Good job, bro. Thank you. I scored. Congratulations, George. Oh, no, it didn't. Oh, no. I have to say it again. I'm so sorry.
59:07
I scored. Yeah, multi-ball. I mean, the playfield multipliers on this table are great to go for in tournament if you know the game. If you're stepping up to a brand-new Mando that you don't really use much,
59:22
it is going to be tough because you're throwing the ball into so much back and forth. If it's a tournament game and I've not played it yet, I'm probably going to go for Boba Fett, Scope, and buy my third one. Because otherwise it's really just not worth it.
59:45
Wait, Seraxa wants to see the Madden Telestrator effects tool. It's something I've been meeting to research for setting up a channel. Now, Manu, I feel like I've seen you do that before. Have you ever done the drawing on the screen thing? Yeah, it's part of my stream setup. Okay, cool. The whiteboard. Right, the whiteboard functionality. Is that just an OBS plug-in, or is that something you use an external tool for?
60:13
That is an OBS. That's a script. It's a script. If you go to Tilt Forums, you'll find the guy who made it.
60:24
It's hard to track down a little bit. but it's a script that goes into OPS. Okay. Awesome. Well, cool. There you go. So, sorry, for whoever was meeting to research that, that was Seraxo. Yeah, Seraxo. If you can follow that advice. I'm sure, I feel like, Manu, I've seen you actually talk about that before in one of your walkthroughs.
60:50
Yeah, I have. But Seraxo, if you want it, I can, if you're on the Pinball Network Discord, Not the Pinball Network. The Pinball Community. What's it called? Pinball Community. I just linked the Discord in chat. Nice.
61:05
Yeah, hit us up, and we'll give you the script. And Shannon Stafford, welcome to the stream. Yes, it is due for a code update. Hello, and hi. Welcome to the battle.
61:17
And apparently the question mark in the foundry occasionally gives, it does indeed. Okay. I think we're all caught up here. Now, I'm curious. I haven't sat in on a stream yet. Sorry, since we're already tied three to three. We're at halftime. We are. Yeah, we're at halftime. I'm curious. Manu, have you discussed or seen the Godzilla stream or anything having to do with Godzilla so far? Do you have any opinions on it? It looks super fun. Okay.
61:55
I mean, it looks amazing. Sweet, short, concise. Yeah. It looks super fun. It looks crazy fun, especially since the shots are not right in front of your face. They're really far back to give you a good amount of time to react and stuff. Ah, like Led Zeppelin.
62:14
Oh, no. Well, okay. Yeah. I would prefer Batman, not Led Zeppelin. Yeah, I think I would. Well, okay, so there's the upper flipper and there's that interesting gap in it. I got to play Led Zeppelin for the first time. So when I think of Led Zeppelin now going forward, I think of really tight shots at the other end of the play field. So you need like that long range accuracy. So I could see maybe where that was coming from, Nick, on that. But it didn't look to me like there was any super, like there was a ton of super tight shots.
62:52
Led Zeppelin's weird because it's got super tight shots on the left side where they're close, and then there's just that really tough, like, upper 180 that is just a little hard to hit since it's so far back there. Right. You know what interests me is the plunger lane is available to be hit by that upper left flipper. I wonder if you hit it on the tip and you hit that, if it's going to shoot and hit your left flipper immediately afterwards. And if you can track up, if there's some sort of a reward you can get for hitting that and then creating a Lazarus so it's just a fun little loop happens right there. I don't know why. I got excited when I saw that as an opportunity.
63:39
That's that. Would it be a problem to reset my player cam? way far behind. You're just in the bypass a little bit. It's fine.
63:52
Objectives. If Nick says it's fine, it's... Now's the time to do it. We got it here. So when I go to the objective stream, we continue the audio, but I actually... This screen doesn't have your...
64:12
Sorry, what's the name of the app that we're using for you to actually send me your, or allows me to pick up your screens as webcams? Desk camera. Yeah, so I don't have desk camera in this, so I'm essentially resetting everything when I say,
64:30
switch to chat. Okay. Now, I wanted to just go over real quick, sorry to interrupt. Let's go over what challenges we've done so far and who's won what. Complete a mission. Anyone remember who won?
64:47
George. Start Razorcrest. Who won? Manu. Start Ambush. George. Yep. Impossible High Score. Manu. Complete Hunter.
65:03
George. Largest RC Hurry Up. Manu. All right. Wait, does that mean that Manu has won all of the score-based games? because I have a score bit in this bitch. That's right, you have. Do you actually have a score bit in there? I do. Yeah, yeah. Okay. I'm tracking my scores right now. Oh, okay. Manu, I wonder... Oh, actually, the timing got better. I think we're a little bit closer now to... Yeah, we're only about four seconds. Okay.
65:38
That said, this is for Multiball because they just came on in here. We gotta go 6x playfield. Okay. Oh, boy.
65:47
Nice. All right, good luck, Nick. Let's... I couldn't get Hunter just now. You expect me to get all three? Okay.
65:57
Forever, you can buy one. Oh, you're gonna let us... Okay, all right. It's 6x playfield. It's not start Hunter, scope, and over set. Just 6x playfield. Okay. also if you get to this the way that gives you one as well so that's an option yes and I see do we reviewed the tilt forums rule set earlier just beforehand but if you have something else hey feel free to link it like you can throw something in the leak if anybody you can post something to the chat you have access to send links there's wow that I don't know what I actually said but worry about it George yeah we're good so feel free we are going to do this if no one gets it off of game one we will plunge a second game two at the same time so if you drain ball three just get tight no no no just get tight and we will start at the same time ok I have a feeling this one might take a game or two That's why I say that. Yep. Okay. That's Tracy.
67:12
Tracy from Outer Spacey! All right. Count us down, Mr. Nick. One hundred ninety-nine five three one lunch. We going with a nice little soft punch to get control
67:44
Now, I don't know if they want to talk about it while they're doing it, but the interesting strategy here is what order do you go in? Sorry, I didn't mean that. That gesture was not necessary. Sorry.
67:58
Bad gesture, man, you bad gesture. Bad gesture. All right, please ignore the man behind the Stevie shirt for the moment. Oh, my God. Madu's got his hunter ready. That shoot again was clutch.
68:21
Whew. So I've also got hunter ready right now. I don't know what else I need to get scope. So because you're in a hunter, scope can't be done. Okay, that makes sense. So I'm going to hit that shot.
68:45
And then... Oh no, I timed out hunter! Crap. That's not good. Okay, so I think I still have scope lit. Scope should carry. Damn it.
69:11
Here we go. Scope. All right. We've got scope. Oh, you've got to be kidding me. I'm done. Okay. Wow, there goes ball two. I have scope. I had scope. Darn it, I have to do it all over again. This is a tough one.
69:44
I was close. Nick, I had about 300 Guspar, but I didn't have enough to buy a... Playfield Multiplier.
70:03
Right. Gotta go random in that situation. Cool. True. Crap. Alright, you got plenty of time.
70:18
You got all the time in the world, George. Yeah. You can do, like, 30 seconds. Oh, no! Well, you can still do Hunter, but you can't do Scope. So, you gotta get out of the mode.
70:34
That's slowing down, and that's ball three! That's ball three. Alright. Whew! There's his first attempt down the drain. Alright, catching up on chat for just a moment. Not yet, it's on my stream wish list. The whole thing is. How are y'all? George Romano.
70:52
How is the Ori stream? What's good? I am enjoying it. great. You've played Night Get. It's on my Steam wishlist. That's maybe not ideal. Free on Xbox Game Pass, at least for a little bit. Actually, if I have Hunter in Scope on lane, Hunter always overrides Scope. Okay, good to know. Hunter always overrides Scope. I'll have to drop this to speed and action. I don't have an Xbox and I haven't tried Game Pass for PC games. It is so tough to post-transfer on this. I want every game to post-transfer. It just seems like one of those things that by default you should be able to do on every pinball machine. I've stopped trying it because I think they're starting to not allow it in the original designs. Yeah. They do something to it that does not let it work. So I stopped relying on it and focused on just loop passes.
71:38
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. All right. So are we trying this again? We're trying again. We can't just ditch this challenge. We have to do this challenge. We can't neglect it. Okay. We got to feed this challenge. Let it blossom into a 50-year-old tiny Grogu baby. Wow. Whoa. Okay.
72:01
All right. Here we go. Five, four, three, two, one. Punch. George with a beautiful little in lane for his first switch.
72:20
Damn. Going backwards. Crap. There's that. I don't want to hit that shot, so I guess I can go... That sucked.
72:55
Shia LaBeouf! Wow. Okay. Alright, gang. We're going to play like that, huh? This is what we're going to do the rest of the night? We're going to be brutal?
73:07
Yeah, you're going to be brutal. Okay. You're volunteering for Habitat for Humanity? I've got two of the three I just need to hit Boba oh my god hit Boba there's one and oh my god hit Boba
73:46
This shot is not having me today. Nope. Damn. I know, NJ. I'm trying. I have almost... There it is. I got it. There it is. Yeah. Whew. That was close.
74:05
The timing out. Good job, bro. Oh, my gosh. That's like the third time I think I've done that. Also, Sir Axo, please continue side conversations. the more chat, the better, in my opinion.
74:22
You also did do a post-transfer and then missed it, and then your sling just took care of it for you. No, no, no, no. You don't have to tell Manu that the sling got it for me. The sling got it. Whatever.
74:38
He's turned his slings down to only hit Boba and Hunter. I scored. You know, it happens. Yeah, I could not get that.
74:49
Both times I got scope, but Hunter's the hardest one. Oh, man, Hunter is its own little mini-game. Yeah.
75:01
Just to prepare you all, this is going to be a little interesting pro versus premium. I may give Manu just a moment to disable his upper playfield.
75:14
Okay. because we're going into complete encounter level one. Oh, interesting. So how, wait, wait, wait. Oh, just level one, not the first encounter mode. Okay, okay. Not the whole thing. It's just level one. Well, but even so, if there's a way for you, Manu, to, like, turn off the left flipper and not get to pitch. No. I would keep it pitched.
75:43
You could pitch because you have two flippers. Yeah, because I have two flippers. Okay, that's a fair point. That's a fair point. I mean, I'm volunteering that. It's too easy if it's not pitched. Okay. And I have two flippers. All right, well, we are just going to do complete encounter level one. Okay. Just level one. If you get into bonus, you're done. Yeah, okay. Let's battle.
76:09
We're not doing the whole first encounter, which is a different thing. Man, pay it to the advantage. Just give it to him.
76:24
I like that. All right. I am ready. Wait, how do we light encounters? Does that just require you hit the left ramp and then an encounter is lit? Basically just left ramp. Okay. We are doing this by time.
76:41
Okay. Ball does not matter. Ball disarmament is time only. All right, count us down. Five, four, three, two, one. Grogu.
76:56
That actually kind of worked out. I'll take it. Yeah, I'm going to give it another three seconds or five seconds because I accidentally let go of the plunger as you said one. I feel like I did not. I intentionally kind of cheated there. All right, there we go.
77:13
I thought false arts should work in Olympics You should just have to like Take a couple steps and then wait Ah no God I hate that Okay I'm gonna I can't find the ramp Also can't find the ramp Both reject at the same time Ish Mono's up top He's got a little bit of a delay though You got it? Nailed it on his... I think it's 100% accuracy, too. Let's see.
77:53
Let's look at the accuracy. I think that's style points for that 100% accuracy. Yep, Seraxo, total foul on my part. I was holding the plunger back just waiting for it, and I accidentally let it go too early. Challenger scored yeah he did 4-4 we are back to tied so George what do you think about that what was the hardest part about that challenge there for me I the first time through it's this weird thing that happens when the ball comes down sometimes it comes down so quick that it bounces over hits the other side and bounces in such a way to where you can't hit it with your flipper, and it drains. So the first time I made it up there, it was a perfect combination. I hit the left ramp, trapped up, hit the left ramp again, got in there, and missed any opportunity to flip the ball, which kind of sucked. And that happens fairly often. But the second time, I had every opportunity and nailed it. It just happened to be about 10 seconds behind Manu, who killed it. Now, I do have a solution for you there, George, on that feed thing. If you spend an extra, like, what, two and a half grand, you get a flipper on the left side.
79:19
I do think there is an advantage to being able to trap immediately on the left flipper when you get up there.
79:30
Oh, can you trap immediately? Yeah, I trap immediately. I have a whole flipper to trap on. Right. I didn't even think about that. Like, you could just hold up the left flipper and then start. That sounds... Sorry, what's the name of that old game about motorcycles where you play vertically in the back box? Banzai Run? Yeah, Banzai Run. You hold up that left flipper to trap up, right? And then you play afterwards while the thing is out in the middle stopping you from... It starts to get really difficult when it pitches the helmet so steep that you have almost no time to reaction flip at all. Right, right. You've got to hit one shot. Yeah, it's Banzai Run on a tiny upper play field. I really wish we could get another Banzai Run style game. Modern game with a Banzai Run style would be awesome. Or you can just, like, throw Plinko in a back box, like, above the LED. would be amazing. Like the ball thing that happened to Circus Voltaire. Right, especially now that there is nothing in the back box anymore. It is so bare. Give us a little bit of something. Anyway, rant's over. We are going to go high score.
80:55
Let's battle. High score? Oh, just a straight non-impossible high score? Just straight, not impossible high score.
81:03
Hey, boy. George, you got this. No, I don't. Are you kidding me? I have no idea how to play this game for points. You have won every point-based challenge so far. Yeah. I'm also old and I'm tired. I want to go to bed. He's wise.
81:21
I can't play tournaments. I settle for Video Plinko on the LCD. The wall game show pinball machine. Manu, a game show might not be awful. Okay, and this one's not timed, right? Not timed. Okay. We're just having a good time. Okay, yeah, we're having a good time. Manu, I'm curious, what are you thinking? Like, are you going for multipliers and multiball? Are you just going to play through the game? What's your thoughts? My thoughts are you're generally wrong, but what I do is I go for multiball, and I stack a mission in it, and I set them all on fire and I just go. I mean, during a multi-ball, I'm going to try and get Boba Fett, but outside of that, I'm just going to try and get through the game. It's not going to help me that I don't have multipliers, though. Right. So if you can get those multipliers going, then you can surpass my score quickly. Okay. But they're dangerous. It's real dangerous. They're dangerous. These games are both on, like, literally in your basement and in your living room. So you should know the recovery on these games fairly well. How long have each of you had your games?
82:34
Five or six weeks. Yeah, maybe two months, so a little bit longer than Manu. We actually, I think, got the games pretty close at the same time. Okay, so keep in mind those recoveries. Also, let's talk about that early strategy that we figured out, where all you do is just loop the center ramp. are you going to take advantage of that?
82:58
Yeah. I mean, yeah. I'm definitely going to get into multi-ball. For this game, I don't see why that's even... That shouldn't even be an issue. You should immediately do that because you have three of them.
83:09
And if you want to do fancy stuff, you could do it during the next one. But if you just want to put some scores up on the board,
83:16
I think saving it doesn't help you because then you get to precious cargo and then you can use that, right? Yeah. It's just a lot of shot. You've got to get really good. at that shot. I do want to throw out there, because Manu, you said something earlier on this, but Seraph asks, are these games keepers? Now, I think from my perspective... Right, right, yours is a rental, but you seem more interested in this than other games, than you've had. Is this something you're potentially thinking about picking up, or where are you on the spectrum of potential purchases?
83:57
You're going to laugh at me, but the only game I would potentially purchase right now is a the one that Jordan's getting. The P3? Oh, the Multimorphic. The Multimorphic is the only pin that I would actually have I would buy. The Multimorphic. 23 agrees with you. And is that because of another spy. Welcome. Thank you so much for chatting. Is that a space issue, a space concern, meaning you have a limited amount of space where you can have pinball machines? Limited amount of space. That means I can have like three games sit in the same cabinet. I have two kids who like playing pinball. They get bored quickly. I get bored quickly. And I'm also a VPN guy, and I love the idea of joining those two worlds. It's almost like I'm playing VPN. Yeah.
84:51
But as far as Mandalorian, it's a fun game. So when George says he bolts down a game, what he really does is puts down a Velcro pad.
85:02
He can rip it right off. We don't use that phrase anymore. I don't have any bolted down games. Remember when you said you were going to bolt down Dungeons & Dragons? Yeah, I know. I was young. I was learning. It was a very long time ago. You were easily 100 years younger than Manu is now. Yes, exactly.
85:28
Okay. That said, y'all can go whenever you want, because this isn't timed. Oh, that's right. Let's battle. Manu is doing some amazing interdimensional stuff, though, so that's fun to see. Don't worry about it now, Monty You got some pinball to win I did get to see Earth, Wind & Fire A few years ago You did? Yeah, I did They played at Firefly Festival In Delaware now that said I had sprained my ankle about three hours before during Blink-182 and I was in a lords of pain were you? um but uh I was like I can't not see Earth, Wind, and Fire that's just not allowed so I mean I was a ways back but um yeah I got to see him let's do a couple of encounters Let's get some extra points on the board.
86:47
Okay, so I've got a mission going and a multiball. I'm now going to try and hit my Boba Fett. We do have a quick score update. Georgia's a little bit further along in the progression here, but we are looking at 2.6 million to 1 million. It means absolutely nothing at this point. No one has done anything.
87:07
It's kind of like the first, I don't know, 58 minutes of the best book. George with a beautiful Lazarus that he then throws down the left out lane.
87:28
That ball wanted to go home. Oh my god. Are you kidding me? Triple fucking drain. Sorry, my swearing. Triple drain.
87:43
All the sensitive viewers, I don't apologize for the language. Welcome to Pinball. Oh, no. Welcome to Pinball. And I see to you I did not get to enjoy the Earth, Wind, and Fire mosh pit.
88:06
The Earth, Wind, and Fire mosh pit? The Outlet mosh pit, you might call it. I am not familiar... One of them is multitasking, trying to fight off the Matrix at the same time. All the kids watching pinball streams at midnight. Their virgin ears! Oh, no! What are you not familiar with, George? If you say Earth, Wind, and Fire, I'm... Oh, boy. I am not familiar with Earth, Wind, and Fire. I'm so sorry. You are. He's too busy listening to Black Eye friggin' Peas. He's too busy listening to... Who is it?
88:38
Tom Rollins? Who's Tom Rollins? No, um... Who's the singer of Black Flag? Phil Collins. Not the singer of Black Flag.
88:52
You know Earth, Wind, and Fire. Oh, no, wait. Whose display is frozen? Not mine. I don't see it. It's frozen. Okay.
89:05
Sorry, I had to focus for a minute. All right. Got it. I don't think that's coming through loud enough.
89:18
Woo! There it goes. You know, at least two of their songs. Okay, let's assume I know some of their songs. I... Here, here, here. We'll place them through my mic.
89:27
Oh my god, please don't. No, no, no. We're good. Not doing good here. 58 million to 90 million. It seems Manu should have started an impossible game instead of a normal one. Hello. Instead of a regular one.
89:59
Ooh. Yeah, that was mean. Right outling from Mandalorian on George's Street. Yes, Blood Granks. We are, this particular match's score.
90:14
Thank you, Henry Rollins. Thank you, Shannon Stafford, 904. 904 in area code. Got to be, right? Somewhere.
90:25
Winner gets a Godzilla LE from Frisco Pinball. There is something on the line now, everybody. That makes things kind of interesting.
90:34
I'm going to go with encounter. I don't care what it takes. They may be referring to the Lite Edition, which is really just the printout version.
90:51
Okay, so 904 is Florida. We've got George going to his ball three. Montez on his ball three. We are only 20 million apart at this point. This is about the time when you see some fouls in an NBA game. Luckily, they're not in the same room.
91:15
Otherwise, you might see some, I don't know, some fisticuffs pop out. Ah, crap. Monty throws the ball into a careening terror. Meanwhile, George is trying to trap up on the left. forgets the trap and just nails the right one. No, no, on the fly. That's what I'm doing. Bringing that mission in.
91:42
Manu also stops in for his second mission to George's third. Okay. I've got an encounter running. What's the blue for?
91:54
Combo. Oh, it's a combo. Okay. Manu coaching Wilde playing his competitor. to bold move cut. Bold move cut. Let's see how it works out for him. Two more to light razor crest.
92:15
I want to almost flip that hunter with a little fancy back roll. And multiball. All right, multiball number two. 1493. Still about 20 million apart. I'm done. You got me.
92:37
Did I? George needs about negative 20 million to lose. Okay. Yeah. Now, if Manu can hack into his game and wonder the point, it can be done.
92:55
Thank you, George. Thank you. I am reset. Bad decision making on my point in that one. What happened there, Manu? What kind of bad decision happened? What's funny is I had scope lit. Now, I was on ball three and I had scope lit, no ball save. And I'm thinking maybe I should just go for that scope. And I did, and I tried to play it safe and run up the middle a bunch, see how much I can get that Razorcrest hurry up for, but it didn't pan out. So I also forgot how many warnings I had, so I was going easy on the slap saves off the left orbit. and if you can't, you know, I forgot how many warnings I had. So I was like, uh. And by slapsticks, are you talking about just nudges off the left orbit so that it doesn't hit the top of that sling? Yeah, just nudges.
93:47
And so that it doesn't bounce, hop over to the other flipper. I've gotten pretty good at that, but yeah.
93:53
Good job, George. Excellent, excellent playing. I didn't actually get to see what your score was at the end there. I'm assuming that was close. 102. Yeah, 102. 136. Okay, yeah, that makes sense. I was already on ball three, so same thing.
94:10
What's interesting is the ice spider multiball is not the most lucrative multiball of the three. So you really have to have multipliers lit to make that multiball even mean anything. If you can get to Jetpack Multiball, that one could be huge because that has a super at the end of it, which you can also multiply.
94:35
How do you change the multiball that's lit? The Boba Fett targets will change one, two, or three. So one, two, and three is not only for the Razor Crest, but also the multiball that you're going to get for that particular Razor Crest. And do you know which number is which multiball? I do. I know that three is, oh, I forgot. I think two is the jet because I'm always going for, you know, jet pack multiball. Well, jet is also the only one that has an add-a-ball at the moment. Yes, it has an add-a-ball. If you shoot up to the top, you get that one extra ball. There's a lot you can do with the jet pack multiball. I don't know how to work with the spider. Ice Fighter. I think you have to finish Ice Fighter to be able to hit the light super jackpot and it stays lit. So you can just hit it over and over. So as Janet Stafford is saying, you can hit it over and over like GOT. It has a timer instead of a one collection. But you have to finish Ice Fighter, I think, to get to it. So it's... Now I want to do that. That sounds yummy.
95:45
Yummy. mentioned above a hang-up with the art on Stern's Godzilla. I'm curious because it apparently, like, it's surprising to me it's actually a bit of a hot topic. What is your guys' thoughts on the artwork for Stern's Godzilla?
96:06
I don't have an opinion because I don't follow Godzilla. It's zombie. That's kind of, from an objective side of things, that's all it is. I don't know if it quite... The theme doesn't do anything for me. Okay. That's what it comes down to. Also, I can't believe you subscribed to Don't Panic Flip.
96:30
I mean, you must be a billionaire if you're wasting your money watching someone play pinball. Someone else play pinball. Sorry, someone else play pinball. well played well played Jedi McMuffin thank you so much for that tier two subscription my my hats off to you thank you I'm tripping over my own feet over here apparently uh having three simultaneous drinks all at once is not great I purple twisting is hard with only two hands. That's one opinion. So, Seraph, I am not invested in Godzilla. I will mention that. Like, I don't have a big history of watching it. I will point out, by the way, and Manu, you might enjoy this. Zoe and I watched Godzilla the other night. It was Godzilla versus Mechagodzilla, and she loved it. She thought it was corny and that there was this giant monster, but the monster looked awful. And she's like, that's the worst graphics ever. That's my eight-year-old telling me that. And, and, uh, she's like, this is hilarious. And it was the fact that she knew it was something scary, but she could tell obviously that it was like a small creature being, being moved. She loved every second of the just complete dorkiness of Godzilla. So I have a feeling we're going to be watching a lot more Godzilla and that style of movie in the future.
98:05
But I love the artwork. Apparently, I just sound like the Monopoly man. It's the Monopoly guy. We've got three challenges left. We've got Collect Scope, Extra Ball, and Collect Child. we're going to split the collects or complete scope extra ball and collect travel we're going to separate the completes we're going to complete scope but we're going to throw a wrench in we are going to complete scope in impossible mode oh okay take away the ball saves to make this interesting complete scope in impossible got it thank you for making this difficult yeah Complete Scope is going to be It's going to be like Who's the first to trap up Hit three traps Hit a ramp I'm assuming Ball wins over time again on this Ball will win over time on this Because it's impossible mode Let's battle 10 11 12 1 Okay George good old George punch George over here oh no I forgot he immediately forgets that he's in impossible mode and goes for I didn't hit anything I timed out it drained and I'm still in ball one because he drained on a dead slipper So Manu has his scope lit, ready to go.
99:52
She's got to hit the left orbit. Done. Oh, my, I did, wait, you're done? Yeah. And George. Oh, wait. Want me to do it again? No, no, no, you did it in ball one, right? No, I did it in ball two. Oh.
100:16
go blit you got this do it oh just no oh no George is about to run for a tie the pressure is building Manu your voice oh no George what did you do stop please don't I sound like Willie Walker Manu automatically wins George cannot win because ball proceeds, but ball will be ball two. Yep. Manu already took care of it on ball two. Congratulations to Manu. What do you have to say, George? What I have to say is, challenger scored. Faith's telling you're still right.
101:03
Is there a cool, like, audio, like, bing, when the... No, but there should be. Yeah, there should be. That's just what I expect. Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold up. I have a notebook.
101:15
If I'm stealing things from Manu, let's be thorough. But you don have a pen Remember yesterday It okay He just write in his blood Can somebody give George some bits so he can buy a pen Just throw up 100 bits so he can buy a pen That pen's not going to last long for a dollar. Also, while you're writing that in there, can we get the score when it's in the battle mode? Just like small, up in the top corner of the player screen? score in each scene.
101:55
Wolfman, MPG3K is in the matrix because he, uh... It's a pill, right? You took a pill? Mm-hmm. Or is it gum? No, gum is... It blurs. It's an impossible... Yeah, it's blurred and I'm in the past also. Fuzzy Cord, you are correct!
102:12
Is that a Stevie Wonder shirt? It's so funny because It's just the player cam, by the way, that's doing that. I think your play field has been really consistent the entire time. There was only one time that I thought Manu had a stuck ball on his out lane, which was really cool because it was in the middle of the out lane with no switch under it. It was just that strip of pixels that was not updating correctly. Switch to George.
102:40
George, if we ever have five minutes, we should check my player cam to make sure. I might not have it at the right settings. That's the trick. Okay. Well, what we could do is do a quick break. I could show a commercial, and we could reset and double-check settings. Is that something you want to do right now? Take a little, like a two-minute warning. We got two challenges left, two challenge warning, everybody. Two challenge warning. Okay. It's up to chat, but I'm game. Whatever. Okay. Give me a second. I'm going to switch over to a commercial and mute all of the volumes that take. Just a second. Guys, we will be right back after these messages.
103:19
Maybe. So, yeah, Sir Axe, there's a point. All right. 0.002% of people struggle to find companionship because of their choice in unpopular hobbies.
103:29
These same people may find it difficult to be happy or enjoy themselves when alone. Because being good at something requires effort. or they may rely on social lubricants in public situations to feel a level of normalcy or may give up entirely but now there is tpn a non-fda approved network of affiliated streamers who work together to bring a niche hobby better than mediocre content gone are the days of celebrating one's ephemeral and worthless accomplishments alone together we can celebrate them together online in a public forum on the internet don't call your doctor if you think tpn is right for you call zach's personal cell phone instead late at night and on weekends you should not take tpn if you don't like pinball or watching others Play pinball. You should not discuss with your doctor the possible side effects from TPM, including flip chronic anxiety, insomnia, disruptive polyp flipping, fox scabies, ray depression, pinball malaria, mystery poliothrombosis, what the fungal meningitis, phabies, Tourette's graphics, fainting out, amnesis and Dr. Jaundice, We heart palpitations, rectal pain ball, one eye paralysis, STD, M, Jedi McMumps, and just another prostate syndrome.
105:13
Because together, we can push through the existential dread of the meaninglessness of our favorite hobby.
105:21
Together. Good old Adaballeral. My audio, and we just picked Manu back up. That was wicked. Oh, we're getting lost in the pre-grab. Manu has disappeared. We're back. There's always that little bit of funkiness initially. It's got to do something with the quick little decode there. So for those of you that don't know, are you guys, like, even close to each other? Not, like, mentally, but, like, physically? Like, you're, like, a house apart, right? That's it? Yeah, yeah.
106:13
Separate rooms? Totally. Very close. I'm trying to think. Joe, that's funny. My new is in the title sequence of Malignant. I didn't get that. Well, you know what? Joe is very smart and has seen many movies. So when he makes a reference at this point, there's like a 25% chance it happens to be at the level that I do references. Like Scott Pilgrim. That's the level. But when he starts quoting Citizen Kane and Moby Dick, I'm not there, unfortunately. Not yet. Has Joe Hill stopped by for a rich stream yet? Oh, Joe Hills has a very interesting history that Joe Hills will be able to see on Friday when we show player stats.
107:08
Surreal helped me write the player stats because Surreal has the history of all the players for the last whatever, and we wrote some code that will show player statistics when we start now. That's awesome. So we are at 5-5. That was our two-challenge warning, everybody. Thanks for hanging out. Devon Crates, I agree. Statistics. We've got two left. We've got Extra Ball and Collect Child. I'm going to let Manu pick this one.
107:39
Which would you rather play, Manu? George, you can pick the next one. Extra Ball because you've got to get a lot of Best Car.
107:49
Okay. Or, or, you can finish two missions, I think? I'm not sure. What happens, oh, you get an extra ball on your, is it, yeah, is it two completed missions?
108:05
I have no idea. It's two or three completed missions and you light extra ball, or you can buy an extra ball. So there's a few different ways to get there.
108:15
Okay. It seems Manu's in his menu. He's going to turn his extra ball to automatically be turned on. You know what? I don't think I'm going to spend the time to do this, but my fear is that extra ball is progressive, meaning if you're getting it a lot, it pushes it forward.
108:40
Let's just try it. The other way is to just get enough best card to buy it. Well, if we're in competition, it should... We cannot be in competition mode for this challenge. Oh, because there is no extra balls. That would make this challenge really weird. Okay.
108:57
Okay. Well, good luck, George, if you don't know how to get an extra ball. Get a lot of Beskar. Go into Hunter, grab Beskar before you finish Hunter. Get as much as you can. If you can get 600 Beskar, you can buy it from the foundry. Okay. Let's battle.
109:16
Nope. Let's battle. More robot, George. We're back there eventually. All right. So we're doing a standard game, not competition. Not competition. And it's first one to get an extra ball. So go ahead and count us down.
109:39
Five, four, three, two. a one plunge. So it takes five bites to get to the center of a titty pot. It sure does.
109:53
Glad you got that. There's a ball. It's not a possible move. A one, a two, a three, a plunge. Okay, how do we do this, Zanu? How do we do this?
110:06
Not like that. Fantastic hop in the plank here. Great little in-lane save. Or, I guess, in-lane stop. I don't know what that's called.
110:26
I don't know. Unfortunately, he hits a right out lane while George slides the table from Colorado to California. Yeah.
110:34
Hmm. Oh, that didn't work. I think I've got one more shot on my first mode, or first mission. Now the question here is, does Manu start his mission and drain, hoping that George is not finished on this game?
111:03
Oh, crap. I'm in a bad spot right now. I'm not getting any best cards. Oh, that sucked. That was a bad bounce.
111:24
I'll take my tilt. That's fine. Comano inadvertently finishes his first mode. I got 98 best card. I don't know how to get a lot of it.
111:37
Hunter gives you a decent amount, but certain shots in scope will give you more. right hmm yeah certain shots and so yeah good control oh my gosh just quickly give me the ball okay here we go ball three can I complete the third edition guys I can't... I can't think straight.
112:20
Yeah, I couldn't figure out... What do I need to do to get... Too many strategies. Where's George at? How much best card does he have right now? My game is over, Nick. Yep. George almost had his game over This one's a good one It's a tough one Cause I can't Yeah so there's some Beskar for Nope my game's over Alright we start again Alright Once more And maybe the most Beskar wins I'm not even going Beskar though I was going for completing modes Yeah, we're going to stick with the extra ball.
113:09
All right. Let's do this. What's that? I'm going to count us down. Okay. Feel the rhythm. Do the thing. Eat the stuff. And here's your bling. Plunge away.
113:29
Hitting the ball is a good strategy. Yeah, it is. Draining would be a bad strategy. Training is a bad strategy. Hitting the ball is a good strategy.
113:40
Seraxo, don't give away the tiebreaker. I had 11 things identified specifically to avoid the need for a tiebreaker.
114:00
How much best guard do I get for that? Well, yeah, but you put 12 on the challenge board. That is really unfortunate.
114:10
158. That's not a lot of Best Car, though. That's not a lot of Best Car. So I didn't get the Scope Award for... Crap. I looked up. I didn't get the Scope Award for Best Car. I got one of them.
114:28
152. Let's try this. Ah, this skill shot never works. rattles okay alright first mission dust how much dust card do you have uh I have 124 give me 350 oh I had to chat lift damn it oh I gotta stop looking at the friggin chat oh my god important question though Bob Parker or Drew Carey Seems we have a conversation about prices right.
115:10
Well, for me, the price is wrong, Bob. George, sliding the table to New York. Damn it. All right, and I have 359 Beskar.
115:32
Keep going. You got me on this one, man. This is the one that I need. Can I get Beskar while I'm in multiball?
115:42
Yeah, pop bumpers give you Beskar. You should get small amounts of Beskar for the pops. This one, I'm sorry, Chad. Your hunter as well. I don't know how to do this one. I much prefer Drew Carey as a whose line host.
116:07
Yeah. I much prefer whose line over Price is Right. We need more. You're on the right path. We have 400.
116:29
You may think you have some idea what you're in possession of. You want to get that at a ball, send it up top. You don't have to. Send the other one, go. Send it, send it, send it, send it. Send them both up there. I'm stage flipping. Okay. Yes. Hey, hey. Okay.
116:55
Yes. Hey, hey. No! I tried to set the other one up there, like you told me. I just did what you said. I know. That was perfect, though. Super, super, super. But that doesn't... Does that get me anything? I don't know. I have no idea. How could it not, though?
117:15
Let's see what you got. I've got 430. It's not enough. Don't go into the foundry. Give me sticks. And if he's in the foundry, you could just random.
117:28
He could random his way into it if he tries, but if you go into the foundry, you come out, and you don't get it, you have to do a mission to get foundry lit again. Oh. But, uh-oh. Yeah.
117:44
He sets the vaskar down. You gotta maybe try doing the... I gotta do... No, you can pass. You can either pass or you can do pressure lock, which is question mark.
117:56
Which one is the extra ball? Is it the second one? The second one on the bottom row to the right. Ow!
118:06
Ah, that's going to be a child. Oh, but the child do it. Good child. The child could lie to extra ball for you, too. You didn't spend any best cards. Wait a minute. Oh, he did spend best cards. Yeah, you spent about $100.
118:23
So I just want you to do this now. How many Bascar for one mom's spaghetti? How much does that get him? I am nervous right now.
118:41
Yeah, $3.55. Damn it. I think Hunter will get you the most. Of course, you gotta get some of those extra best car shots.
118:55
Nick, ask Ray Day next time, how do you get best car cars? So, let's message him now. Ray Day, we need help. Welcome back to Best Car. If you do your hunter I just got 250 Veskar Wow Oh so you Nice Oh wait wait wait Okay you want that hunter You definitely want that hunter Yeah Veskar for completion is 250 Okay Dude So don't time this out Don't time this out Nice I gotta add this to my To my little tutorial Okay and now the other one. It's the other one. The other one. Nailed it. Everyone nailed it. How much does he have? Oh, don't drain. Don't drain. I did not drain. I just added 250. I'm at 636. Is it 600?
119:58
Yep. All you got to do is go in the foundry, buddy. Please. Please get in the foundry. Oh, my God. There's four more.
120:08
The store is open. There we go. Damn. Okay. Whew. Nick, why are you saying... What am I saying instead? Also, how did I get out of here?
120:18
You got it, buddy. Go down to it. Yep, right next to the playfield multiplier. Boom, that's it. But I have to actually hit it. Yes, he does have to actually hit it, though. I think you got this.
120:35
Nailed it. Extra ball. George? Yes? extraordinarily well played, bro. Thank you. Best card? Well, I did have two people telling me what to do the entire time. No, no, no, don't do that. Do this. And I'm like, okay, you say it, I can do it. I just need a Manu and a Nick in my ears when I play in tournaments. All the time.
121:02
That's the reason coaching is not allowed. Alright. Manu on the ropes for Collect Child. Great, George. Thank you, second place Andy. Now, we are going to consider Collect Child to be lighting all the inlays and then hitting an orbit for Child. Because we're going to do it in competition mode so that the magnet does not slow things down. Wait, competition disables the Child, right? You're right. We're not going to do it in competition mode.
121:44
I forgot about the rule book. I pulled out the rule book for World Cup instead. Shoot the goalie. Anyway.
121:55
Okay. So left and right orbits will light the child. Joe Hills, I thought coaching wasn't allowed to prevent pinsplaining by know-it-all competitors. Well, sorry, competitors. are you a competer it depends on which if you're a solo player coaching is not allowed but if you're a team player it depends on the team league in my team league you can have a coach next to you they can't touch the game but they can talk you through it so on my team we used to have Brian O'Neill stand next to us when we played you mean another member of the football network yeah I need another number of the outer orbit otters that's what I need I will throw out though and this is interesting your competitors if you're playing one versus one are absolutely allowed to coach you and it is part of and of course you have to figure out if that's something you actually want but that's one of the cool parts about pinball I feel like is how often in the community I literally have a Manu in my ear explaining to me how to beat them. This is not the first, second, the third, or the tenth time I've been playing a game for the first time, and the person I'm playing is walking me through how to beat them in a tournament. And I love that. I love the pinball community for that specifically. Every single time I have played Escher Lefkoff, he has offered to walk me through how to beat him. And every single time I play Escher Lefkoff, I refuse because getting beat that way is way more damning to my pride than getting beat because I'm just bad at pinball.
123:56
You know, it's not just pinball. Obviously, that exists elsewhere. but Ty, who has been on the stream a number of times, I actually met playing Magic the Gathering. And one of the coolest things that I remember telling people way before we did the pinball stuff and we've done camping and got to be pretty good friends was that we would be in a tournament for Magic the Gathering, which has way more money on the line than pinball. I've got to say, because Magic the Gathering is super expensive.
124:26
And we would be playing, and I'd make a bad move, and Ty would be like, no, that's stupid. Stop. Okay, take that move back. What else could you possibly do in this situation right now to beat me? And he would literally walk me through step by step how to play my cards better. And he goes, I don't care about winning this right now. Like I got good cards out of it or it was a draft or it was something else. He's just like, it's more fun if we're playing the cards the way that they're meant to be. And he did that to everybody that we'd play with. And there's people who do it, and I feel like a lot of those people make their way into the pinball community. I really like that. And Escher is just yet another really good example where he knows how to beat himself and wants to see it happen, wants to see somebody play to their best abilities if you can remove the rules from the equation.
125:18
Oh, Rayday just topped in. Oh, Rayday. MPG is amazing and has a lot of parallels to contribute. I wonder to answer the fastest way to get Faskar and extra ball maybe a hunter mission where you juice up the bounty with left ramps before the orbit yeah you can increase your hunter value if you keep shooting the middle either one that's lit and not the orbits it's the risk reward type of thing oh wait a second so I think what you're describing is while hunter is not just lit but you're in hunter there is... You're in Hunter. Yeah, if it's on the right orbit, the left ramp, because it feeds the left flipper, which allows you to hit the right orbit, that increases the best scar. So it's kind of like a... Yeah. Yeah, a risk-reward situation, like you said. Okay. Yep. And it's... I call it a red herring shot, but it's not really. If you're a guy like me, it's a red herring. If you're a guy like Ray Day,
126:16
he can hit that shot, and then he can finish off the Hunter and walk away with his pockets full of cash. Which is why he is number two in the world right now. And would likely continue to be number one if it wasn't for the slow loss of points due to COVID over a year and a half.
126:37
Everyone had the same kind of loss of points-ish. Everyone know what we're doing? Let's battle. What are we doing? We are collecting... For a child. Oh, okay.
126:51
The fastest way here would be to... Yes, in standard mode. The fastest way here is to take out the glass and remove the child from the playfield. That said, removing the glass is cheating.
127:04
Joel's not here, so we don't really need to get into that. But, uh... Okay. Five, four, three, two, one.
127:18
Crap. Oh my god, somehow I got childlit right off the bat. I have no idea what I did. Manu also got childlit off the bat. It's just an orbit.
127:35
I just need an orbit. I need it too. I got it. Yes! I'm going to get mine. so did you short plunge? no I tried to plunge into the child as opposed to short plunging and it went up and then it got stuck instead of going into the helmet it actually rolled backwards and rolling backwards over the switch it totally activated the child that was great so you did exactly what I did but you did it by mistake because if you can get that sucker to roll back over that switch you can light the child and then you have to just shoot them. Okay, that is really good to know.
128:19
So no need for a tiebreaker here. Congratulations to George. Congratulations, George. Thank you so much. Manu, that was the closest battle I have ever been in. And I would argue the most fun competitive battle that I've been in. That was so much fun. Thank you. If y'all are still around, I do want to shoot massive shout-outs to Willanoy for the follow. IMBO Games for the follow. Another Spy23 for the follow. Thank you so much. Welcome to the Don't Panic Flip. Incredible community that George has put together here. Now,
129:03
are y'all done? It's 1208. A couple different things. One, if you guys are not following MPT3K, please. in fact Nick what's wrong with you how are you not following MPT3K shout out for MPT3K oh and now you're about to get angry at me oh we'll get there eventually and similarly if you're not following the Pinsomniac you definitely should be as well so please shout out yourself once you get through the time out.
129:45
Amazing streamers. Additionally, there are a ton of content creators, both in the stream and in addition on TPN. That's the Pinball Network. If you haven't checked out the Pinball Network, you can go to the pinball.network. There's a website there that gives you access to all of the podcasts you could potentially follow and all of the streamers.

And that is going to be between Nick and Tommy, aka Jenna McMuffin.

Again, request for more evidence. You can't handle the truth. Do we have evidence of that? Nobody makes me bleed my own blood. Nobody. Evidence? Scott CDI clean diesel with up to 814 highway miles per tank. Do we have evidence of that?
