I'm thinking about buying a jackpot man, should I? Frick yeah you should! Jackpot's amazing dude. Jackpot's a very good game. I'll turn the volume up a little bit here. Wait, what did they change? Like the callouts are almost non-existent. This isn't a I can trap up and fix the volume kind of thing, so... We'll see in a second.
0:33
Do kids dig it too? Jackpot? I mean... I... You know? I don't know. I haven't been a kid for some time.
0:46
There's a roller. Game's up for auction. PA up for auction. Wait, auction? What the hell does that mean? I mean, Jack, that's pretty simple, but it... I don't know, would it be frustrating for a kid to play that game? I'm not sure.
1:19
On site. Oh, really? Estate auctions. I say, if you don't have any pinball machine, a pinball machine's better than no pinball machine.
1:34
You know what I'm saying? Kiss it. Yeah, baby. Frick, I really haven't played this game in forever. All right. That's right. This mode's like super long.

    Three more shots. Oh my god. Quill, you're killing me, dude. So my approach to this game is do the four easiest modes to get into Cherry Bomb first.
    2:18
    So I don't know. Not a lot of toys on Jeff, that's true. But, I mean, toys don't really do anything to the gameplay, you know what I'm saying?
    2:29
    Toys aren't making the game more fun to bang around on. That's right, I forgot I suck at this shot. My little nephew come and blow my machines up. Nice, base! There you go, bud.
    2:50
    You know, those youngins, dude, they'll kick your butt. Jerk wads. Can I please finish Quill number two?
    3:06
    Guess not. I guess we will never do it. You'll be in style at 500k. Oh, God. Gross. Yo, Silken1, I feel great, buddy. Thanks for inquiring.
    3:35
    All right, so screw that. We're going antiquities. Antiquities. Okay, we're going to miss a couple times on purpose.
    3:47
    There you go. Got it. Okay, it's been a minute. We gotta get back into it. Oh, that's right, this is a switch hit. I forgot about that.
    4:05
    An occupational hazard, I'm sure. Heat back on? So, we got it fixed today. You know what the problem was with my heat? My gas got disconnected somehow.
    4:29
    When the city was in here... Yo, Adriana, what's going on? When the city came around tearing up the streets, they turned my heat off and forgot to turn it back on.
    4:40
    So, that's where we're at. But yeah, we're good. I worked in the studio all day today with no freaking heat, and my fingers would get so cold that I'd have to walk to the gas station to hang out for a little bit.
    4:59
    No matter how far, don't worry, baby. Joker. All right, we got this. So, yeah, I'm going to TwitchCon. then after TwitchCon I'm going to the Netherlands then after the Netherlands I'm going to LA and then after LA I'm back home for some time so we should be good
    5:38
    how many freaking hits do I have left oh is that it good Roller Games is your wife's favorite? It's a pretty fun game. Antiquities 2. I did not mean to do that. Motherfather. Group multiball. Antiquities.
    6:11
    Okay, train the balls. On Corpus. This game has turned into a pretty freaking fun machine. Oh, shit. No, no, no, no, no.
    6:33
    That and Black Knight 2K? Black Knight's great. Black Knight's one of those games that I... You know, it doesn't really speak to me when I see it on location. I don't run after that game when I see it. But a lot of people do. I think a lot of people love that game because it gives them a nostalgia boner, you know? But I never played pinball when I was younger, so I'm not in that. Is nostalgia bone or the right turn?
    7:20
    Nostalgia bone? So what mystery? That's mystery. Okay, so that'll be like an add-a-ball probably. Oh, don't drain. you frick.
    7:33
    You like the original Black Knight better? Oh my god, did you see that? Please don't be... I am fucking up left and right here.
    7:51
    We're playing this without a mode, and that's a big no-no. Can I get one of those balls back? Can't stay in school.
    8:16
    BK2K is a machine I can never play any more than two minutes. Really. Why is that? It's just like it doesn't speak to you?
    8:24
    Because I don't know. I don't know why I'm not super in love with it. Bonus Thor X. Lunatic And his father Before him Shit. Alright, we beat Sanctuary. So if we beat one more mode... One more mode. Yo, ZZTap, what's up, dude? We are Groot.
    9:28
    So we'll do... Nowhere's the easy one. Holy sh... You sent a message. You killed my wife. You killed my daughter.
    9:52
    Slow it down, baby. Slow it down. Zach, how you doing, bud? How many hits do we need? One? All right.
    10:07
    So now Cherry Bomb is lit. Oh god, that scared me. Yeah, ZZ Top was playing his brains out. So we really need to shoot Cherry Bomb. Why do I suck at shooting that shot so bad? I can't figure it out.
    10:37
    There we go. Here's why this is great. We have group multiplied. So that means big money on our jackpots if we can get it.
    11:07
    Okay. That was probably big money. Holy moly. Why wasn't that more money? We got two supers during that.
    12:07
    The hard-on enforcer is lit. You had the hardest time getting into Aerosmith? Huh. Yeah, those supers were a lot smaller.
    12:22
    I did just update this code, but it didn't say anything about that in the notes. So, I don't know. We're going to go Yaka.
    12:37

    14:03
    Hi, Jack, do you know the house? Hell yeah, Greg. How you liking it? No, no, no. A bo-ba-lee-bo. I like how I'm nailing the harder of the two shots.
    14:36
    There we go. Yo, everyone. What's up, dude? You're loving it? It's a lot of fun, man. Frick. We got sort of ripped off there. That kick out. Jumped funny.
    15:06
    Did that hit Groot? I can't tell. That did. Feed the Groot! Give me the money, give me the money, give me the money, give me the money. Come on, baby!
    15:33
    Three more shots. One. Chose. Come on, we got a whole minute to make two shots. There's one. There's two.
    16:03
    Alright, we got an extra ball. And we're on... Let's see. We have sibling rivalry and escape left to do.
    16:12
    For a first game, we're making a lot of freaking progress here. This is crazy. Please don't kick the ball back out.
    16:23
    Alright, here we go. Here we go. We'll do... I hate escape. But we're going to do it. You scum! That was a big move.
    17:00
    So we can't use a Hadron for the final shot, but you have to shoot the raccoon. Did we just nail that first try?
    17:13
    Holy shards. That save was interestingly amazing. Blow darts. Blow darts, internet. Blow darts. Blow darts not water balloons Oh please
    17:47
    Okay, let's try this. Let's try this. Gotcha, idiot Oh, thank you Alright, how many shots do you want? Like, frickin' 30? I hate these modes
    18:19
    Give me a hard-on. Come on. That should light up more shots for us. Don't you... Why do I do that every single time? Start group. Yeah, you're right. You're right.
    18:44
    You're right. When you're right, you're right. You know? Groot can help us get through it. Zach, you're a genius. I haven't played this game in some time, so I need them pointers.
    19:18
    Is the mode done? It's done, okay. Get the ball in there. What are you doing? There you go. Add a ball.
    19:33
    Don't drain. Did I help? Yes. My new objective is to not drain. Open your mouth, idiot. Oh, wait. Is he not ready for supers?
    20:15
    Shit. Oh, no. I got the super. Good. Okay. So the only thing we didn't get the super for was orb. Do you think it's worth it to try to go for orb right now? To try to get the super? Oh shit, we're not done.
    20:37
    Okay, now we're done. Okay, so Immolation Initiative is lit, but we're going to go straight for Save Xandar. Alright, please don't fuck me, game.
    20:58
    Oh, you fucked me. No, no, no! What am I doing? What are you doing, stupid dummy, stupid dummy? Stupid dummy, stupid dummy. Flailing? Wow, yeah, you're not wrong, actually.
    21:39
    There's a fun little add-a-ball. Get that super. That wasn't a super, was it? Okay. Oh, that was a super. Okay. So we get to skip Immolation Initiative and go right to save Xandar.
    22:19
    But we might have a double drain on our hands soon, so... Okay, I guess it makes us play Immolation Initiative first.
    23:00
    If we miss the shot, it's the ultimate F you. You know what I'm saying? I need a drink. Hold on. All right, here comes a post pass.
    23:19
    I tried to do it to the music. I actually have no idea what to do in this mode. So will it send me right into... Right into Save Xandar? Or do I have to shoot it again?
    24:19
    Someone going to Quill. There you go. I don't know. Oh my god, are you kidding me? There we go. My little Grootie Patootie.
    25:49
