How great is it that you all exist in a world where VPN Workshop lives? how great is it for me, number one, to be drinking out of the wrong side of my teeth, to get pinged by Apophis and Astronasty to be able to show you guys this. Now, admittedly, I know what the fishbowl is working on all the time. This took a long time. I mean, between the code and the guys making this game look in-freaking-sane. Have you guys seen the lights? Have you seen how... Have you seen how... Have... You... Have you guys seen this table? I guess you haven't yet. I got a super secret skill shot. Look at me hitting combos, though. Look at Manu hit combos. Look at Manu hit combos. You know what's the hardest thing in this damn game is the ramps The ramps are such a bitch I Think we're all mostly speechless Combo yeah that left that left ramp man. Yo retro geek. I hit that left ramp once out of like 70 times So finally Icarus is gonna be a pain in the butt. All right, this is um ancient mariner I gotta get back inside the thingy no shoot it there Manu my voice really is terrible well thank you for the tier 1 sub for 8 months no Manu we cannot see this table can't you guys see this table absolutely speechless yeah so six way so the fishbowl I was asking you about the six First Keith Elwin pin on vPen2 that yeah Oh my god you know what great Is that I'm not scared of playing this game on location anymore. One thing I gotta say, and we all know this, we all teach, we all preach the mantra of VPX. the ability to have the game in a digital format does not supersede having the physical pen what it does is it augments the physical pen immensely guess who's dropping quarters in an Iron Maiden the next time he sees it what's up Wynn guess who's dropping quarters in an Iron Maiden the next time he sees one this dude right here thanks to vpn workshop i backhanded that ramp okay all right all right all right how many how many ramps do i have left if you guys can see the dmd hi pin bot if you guys can see the dmd i have spinners completed i have three ramps to go and then another eight or seven ramps i have i don't care about pops i will finish all the other things joy says makes me want to own all the tables I don't care about Can I get a Can I get a A tomb award What's it called?

Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh, also never question V-Pen's physics because they are perfect. They are freaking perfect. Having VPW's jokers may... Yeah. Having the VPW jokers totally makes me not need to buy another real jokers. Ouch! All right, Fliptronic. That's not really the point I was trying to make. Can we scratch that one? Can we do... Jordan, can we take that line again? Maybe I want to relight my revive. I love when he says M for mummy. Because there's like three M's in mummy. Alright, you guys want to see modes? because I usually go for just power shards. There is no Doff in this yet. There's a few things that they still need to work out. I was playing it the other night with DeFishbowl, as we do, and I was updating some stuff and saying, hey, do this, do that. Cut that, cut that, cut that. Not everyone can buy all the real pins like Manu. Man who owns zero pins That will change at some point But right now man who owns zero pins There we go I coaxed him out Where are we in? We're in Flight of the Icarus Ralph? Oh no no no no Wait what am I doing? Ramp Up and over Give me another ramp Give me another ramp There we go That's an add-a-ball right there guys In case you didn't know Oh Clip that shit right there bro Damn it Would have been nice if I continued that run. You know what would be great? No! Oh, no, no, no, no, no! Oh! I had seven more ramps to go. I hate this game. Oh, my God, it's so hard to get to Cyborg. Quiet! We are playing. I know so many who started on a V-Pen and now own six or six. Yo, Joey. Joey, I know. Speaking of which, I know a few guys who are buying... You know what? Wayne, thank you for the sub. Astro, thank you for the clip. I brought our V-Pen because I wanted to be closer to Manu. I know three dudes who I think correct me if I'm wrong three dudes the fishbowl being one of those dudes I know three dudes there were four dudes four primary dudes who worked on Batman 66 one of those dudes does not own a pinball machine all the other dudes own pinball machines now okay so i don't know what that means what's up check no logic all right let's see if we can get to trooper multiball let's see if we can get to some stuff for you guys to see um second one mr h screw you mr h is what got got one of my favorite favorite favorite tables coming soon you guys are great I love you guys you guys are all awesome with your stupid pinball machines you know what all I need is vpin workshop that's all I need that's all I need is vpin workshop and I'll be happy I'll be happy oh by the way I'm playing orbital 1 this this ah I'm playing orbital 1 this Thursday yeah yeah come watch me do that me and beginners look merry come watch that train wreck of a stream.

Yeah, I'm going to go to... I'm learning how to fix... I'm learning how to fix pinball machines, guys. By the way, the song doesn't matter. It's just what you want to hear while you're kicking this game's butt. Ugh... I wanted to show you guys the ball save animation. That's all. That's why I did that. All right, so let's go for Trooper. One of the ways to go for Trooper is to drop your drop targets. And I want you guys to see how great this guy did with this game. The Trooper multiball lock is here. It's here. It's actually the Trooper Multiball That was nice Okay, I would love to get into a mode game That would be great That was a nice catch All Iron Maiden songs matter, Manu Nope, I don't listen to Iron Maiden The man of the main board died And I can't get the part easily And I don't have the electric screws to fix it Damn it I'm going to buy a flat box Hey fiends Stop typing I'm just joking about Iron Maiden Stop typing I know you're typing something to respond to what I just said Stop typing fiends And please Don't lay off the Tom Carty I'm joking Fixing FIMO machines Icarus gosh darn it you gotta let me play a decent game tonight man you're entitled to your wrong opinion you know what I don't have a problem with Iron Maiden I'm not familiar with their catalog I just I don't have a problem with Iron Maiden. I will replace all the songs in here with Prince at some point once this game is released. Because I want to play Flight of the Icarus to a Romantic City. Is that so wrong? there's a lot of stuff that they included in here there's a lot of secret skill shots they track down all the secret skill shots they have them here um all the combos to do a six-way combo on this thing is not it's not true it's it's actually it is quite difficult but the grace period is is is pretty The grace period is pretty nice That being said I've never done a six way combo Wow it's archer Game Yacht rock maiden Yacht rock maiden would be sweet Alright I think I'm going to do that No that's the drain Right there kids That's a sin, Manu.

Oh, look at that. The ball is stuck back there. That's the first time that's ever happened. The ball is stuck back there. Oh. Oh, well. That has not happened before. So kids, this is why we're not shipping yet. I'm going to see if I can get it out. See if I can get it out. Oh, it's working its way even further. This score will be invalid. Let me see. Oh, by the way. By the way. Fifth time I fixed that. Is it going to do a ball location? Alright, we're going to pop it out and go back in. Operator locating pinballs. Ball search operator will get it for me. Call the attendant. Need Becca to play this to find all the potential things that break. Becca will be Wason. Wason from Stern. Wason likes to go around with a bucket of pinballs and put them on designers' playfields just to piss them off, to show them where balls can get stuck. Alright, I'm going to come out and go back in. By the way, I do have the earplug mod. Please wait. I am now loading up the game. Have fun. I have the earplug mod on my Tilt-Bop now. I have official earplug person. So that if I shake the tilt, it settles quicker. Let me see if I can give you guys a good example of that. We're both a fan of Maiden. So here's the tilt. Here's the tilt. If I shake it, look at how quickly it settles. and it's pretty much settled. That's because it has the earplug mod in it, which is basically just sticking an earplug in the little hole that holds the ring. Manu, that's amazing. VP Fiends, you're getting your cab ready, huh? All right, VP Fiends. Thank you for the I'll thank you for a resub Cell processing For two months Welcome I rarely see me VP Fiends What's your favorite song? What song should we play? I have an Iron Maiden machine This is looking spot on to me What's your favorite Thank you Major Drain The VP workshop guys Spend a lot of time Rhyme Is it in this? Oh right, okay, here we go Everyone else is saying run to the hills See? See? See? None of you have good Good musical taste The only one who has great musical taste is VP Fiends Clearly Fight him, don't fight me Fight him Fight Fiends, Fiends is ready I saw, what's his name that was a I forget Fliptronic you know his name is it Marv or something he has this strategy for Iron Maiden that's basically hitting loops bringing your loops up to a maximum level or something Marv is Travis Oh yeah yeah yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. BANG! Wow, what was that? Oh, that's that. Ahem. Wow, what a stop. Ah, solid steak. Thank you for the... Solid Snake, thank you for making me cough for 10 months. You're a legend. You can skip it too if you want. Tell Jordan I just got the handle mode for Deadpool. What is the handle mode? Mod? Oh. What's the handle mod? I'm not familiar with that mod for Deadpool. Let me think about what that could be. Icarus! One of the hardest modes in this freaking game. Because you need to hit ramps all day. And ramps are hard. It just looks a lot better? Oh, okay. Ramps are difficult. Let's see if Manu can make four ramps. Can Manu make four ramps? Let's see. I made one, two. I need to shoot the other one. If you can do a combo, they're like huge points in combos. And the modes in this game are really like, really huge. I don't think I can combo it. Ugh! That was mean, game. Two. One. Nope. You can see how well I did there. I swear I got to Cyborg one night. Once. Ah, Mezzle. Katana. Oh, it replaces the crappy stock handle on the katana. Cool. I like how it replaces the sword on L-O-T-R. Okay. The left ramp is hard. The left ramp is actually hard because you know why? The left ramp, what's funny is I feel, this is my personal opinion about the left ramp. It's not hard. But the fact that there are three pop bumpers in the way, yeah, screws up your whole trajectory. I got him one for Christmas that he installed in the first Deadpool and then sold it. Not a big Iron Maiden, but love how their aesthetic perfectly matches the 90s arcade fighting games. All right, everyone says run for the hills. All right, let's get Trooper going. So it looks like I have a possibility of getting Trooper started. You guys can at least see the trooper animation if you've never seen the trooper animation. I don't know if you've been living under a rock. Those locks actually work up there. The V-Pin does do the locking mechanism. Good thing I had Revive lit. I don't know what's tougher for me There we go, ball two locked Let's let it trickle So did you see that move I just did? That's a move that's actually on the physical table where you let the ball just trickle down. Here we go. Ball three. Where you let the ball trickle down. Oh, no! You suck! Ah. Ah. The drop target sweep is freaking... It feels so good. When you do that drop target sweep, the game knows it, and it scores you accordingly. Trickle down the middle, baby. I think you guys should replace that with the VPW logo. Does this have insider connected? I don't know what you're talking about Becca Those are just words What do those words mean? In that sentence I don't know what those words actually mean Is the pinball machine inside? It's in my house And it's connected to the internet I don't know what those words mean outside of that Becca, you're speaking in tongues again. It's connected to a man's insides. All right. Let me see if I can get trooper started for you guys. Oh my God, really? BBW has been spoiling us lately. Thanks to all the input. Solid Slake, you don't know the half of it. This was just like... I mean, VPW worked really hard to get this thing. You know, I... Man, who's Stern Software that saves your scores in their pinball machines and has worldwide leaderboards? Stern has software that saves scores on pinball machines and has worldwide leaderboards? Stern has that? Hang on a second. Attention, my boo. Have you checked your butthole? I don't... I don't understand what you're talking about. Alright. Guys, you know what? I'll look at that later. This software you guys are talking about? I don't know. Maybe later. I'll figure it out. I'll figure it out later. I really don't know what you guys are talking about. Subtle. Under glass. Alright. If you first start with this game, you have to spell Eddie. You hit white arrows to spell Eddie. The first couple of modes is easy. Actually, if you just shoot the... the first couple of modes is easy if you just shoot if you just shoot that oh you gotta be kidding me There we go. That's a save. Shoot the middle like three times or whatever. You spelled Eddie and you started a mode. Can you sweep the drop? Yes, you can, Major Drain. Can you sweep the drop? Imperial Storm. Thank you, Lynn. Can you sweep the drop targets from the right flipper and make it up the ramp? I will ask the crew but I say yes I have sweeped the targets before I just sweeped the targets on the stream actually just now so Flight of the Icarus is up next Keith Owen wants you to combo ramps Just hitting ramps is already hard enough Ah I would love to shoot the left freaking ramp But there are pop bumpers in the way It's like a reverse Lawler Wow you guys did such an amazing job at this Oh my god Escher don look Don look Asher This is not happening Wow that the first time I ever did that I got 3x running That was a sick Freaking combo That was a maze ball. Holy smokes, I hit mummy. I'll try and sweep the targets for you. There you go. It's not really going to do it. Alright, let's get trooper going. Oh no! Let's get trooper going. I'll get Trooper gone Keith wants you to start Mummy with Icarus Really? Is that a better shot At getting ramps? Is orbital scoreboard integration Something that has been considered Good question Any video game can be cheated. The reality is you're only cheating yourself. That's true. Thank you, Baldisky. Beautiful synergy with Mummy and Icarus shots. Ramps give at it. Man, if there's more than one ball on the table, I don't think I can hit ramps. That's just me, though. Hey, Jedi. Hey, Jedi. What's up, Jedi? Please, just give me a ball lock. Oh my god. Are you guys seeing this level of freaking panic that's going on. Jedi. Look at this. Look at this. Jedi, have you ever owned an Iron Maiden? I feel like you have. I don't know why. All too locked. Can this play in VR? Yes. Yes. Thanks to the VPW guys, too. I'm... Yes. This is a 7... This is a 10.7.2, yes. You do need 10.7.2 to play this. There are features that 10.6 does not have. Trust me, there's nothing scary about 10.7.2. You can do it. And Nail Buster makes it very easy for you to set up multiple... multiple launches in Popper. Finally. Watch this. This is cool. This is crazy cool. You rented one? Okay. You took me a few... You took you a few to realize it's a V-Pen, I really want to hit a ramp. I got two up there. How does that work, the fishbowl? Is that ball still up there? Shit. Uh-oh. I'm the master of the edge case. So I managed to get two balls up there. No, I didn't steal. Did I just steal? No. There's one more ball. There's one more ball in the sarcophagus because I managed to get two in rapid succession. If I look at my status, I got three ramps and just a few targets to go. Ball coordinates. I don't want to grab my drink because I don't want to let go of the flippers. Beckett it good shot I'm proud take the glass off there's only one way to take the glass off on my stream I always make the fishbowl right like really strong ball search routines because I am really good at doing stuff like this Is this coming back? Oh, it's doing so well, too. All right. I think the fishbowl has left. Guess not. Alright. Let's do one more game. Let's do one more game. Well, hey. You got it, bro. This is definitely the way this is definitely the way you work out. There's actually dates. There are actually new dates for Iron Maiden to tour? Are they touring? Are they touring? Fill the first search. Thank you for the follow, Jim. Are they actually touring right now? Under glass. Let's try a skill shot. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Hey, Tracy. Oh, my gosh. I wanted to tell you. Excuse me if I already did. Hello, poor memory. I was watching my friend stream, comedian, who was a variety streamer, does interviews with us streamers he was watching a recent interview he did with a streamer who does some cool overlays and was like there's this guy who does this mst3k thing where you can buy tickets and blah blah blah and i was like yo that's my bud mambo tracy what was that what streamer was that i'm gonna go say hi i'm gonna go say hi to them by the way i think we're doing um i don't think i think jordan and becca are going to be away but i'm thinking of doing um we're going to be riffing this Friday. Sorry about last Friday. We're riffing this Friday to Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. If you are a possibly, I'm not promising you Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, but I'm telling you that that is possibly the one that we're going to be doing this Friday. Because I kind of got tired of dance movies. what if your voice doesn't come back like ever like ever what if your voice doesn't come back oh my god I was just talking about how I haven't seen that movie in ages if you end up riffing musicals again Phantom of the Paradise Manna doesn't need to talk during the movie Oh I will be starting also Just to let you guys know Because a lot of suggestions come in Ah A lot of suggestions come in about movies I'm going to start a discord For Mystery Pinball Theater 3000 I know I know I know I've avoided starting a discord forever but I needed a reason to start a discord and this is a good reason I don't want to I don't want to start a discord just to be like I started a discord you know I think useful discords are good like vpins discord is great because they have all their projects there I don't like vanity discords but if I can have a discord where people just say hey these are movies that would be great to riff in the theater, I'm going to start it because then it's hella useful. Fear the dark. I fear the dark just like you do too. Let's get this ramp. Ramp. No. Ramp. What is a mystery level? Why does she keep saying mystery level one? I missed it. Hi from France. Where are you? I am in San Francisco. And this we are playing is the V-Pen Recreation. It's like a tribute to Iron Maiden. Legacy of the Beast. Beast. I now have excuses to leave. I now have an excuse to leave one to join this one. Yo, Joe, yeah. Joe, I feel you. I feel you. I don't... I have so many discords that I... Now I'm at the limit. And I will leave one to get to another one. So once I get the discord warning... When you hit the lower neutron ball, you collect the mystery level. Oh, you can work up to three... Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Newton ball. I said neutron ball. I'm so excited. Neutron Ball, huh? It's Newton Ball, not Neutron Ball, man. Okay, bye. Thanks. This was great. Once again, Neutron Ball would take a lot to move. Where did that piece of paper go? Once again, This video was going to go up on YouTube. YouTubers, if you're watching, please don't comment and say, when can I have this table? Please. Also, YouTubers, hopefully you didn't hear any of the music because that would immediately get this game banned. Although you probably did hear a lot of music from my ambient speaker. Tracy says, sorry, I'm at work and had to take a call. Did you say you wanted my friend? Yeah, I want to know who shouted me out so I can go to their channel and be like, hey, thanks for the shout out. Tracy, you can send me a whisper. Once again, I want to say, yeah, like I said, don't ask me for the table. It will be available on, I think, the VP, VPN workshop. Friends of VPN workshop will tell you when it's done and tell you where it can be downloaded.
