Fish Tales
game
Good evening, pinheads, and welcome back to Dead Flip Pinball. This is day three of Iron Man. With us again is Crystal Gemnick. We have Brad Smith. I'm your host, Jack Danger, and these are the only people you're going to see today. Hi. Hey, nice to see you. Good thing you're a man. What time's it? So we're going to do the old 2-1-0 scenario. We're playing a practice game right now. The winner gets two points. Second place gets one point. Last place gets zero points. We'll play like three or four games and see where we're at point-wise and then go from there.
2:34
Beautiful. We're in the middle of a practice game right now, so we'll get the screen up here. Give me a second, I guess. Do it up, buddy.
2:45
Well done. Well, this is a legacy. Legacy. What's that? It was, and we corrected that. It feels like it's clean now. Like, it wouldn't fall out of there.
3:17
A little, uh, nice thing. Yeah, let's get a feel for the game here and then see where we go from there.
3:32
Can you click on the browser behind? Yeah. Thanks, man. Thank you, thank you. Alright. We got a bogey. Oh, screw you. Never fails that the shot after you light bogeys goes nuts.
4:00
Get them drones. That was not a shot. Also not a shot. Yes, I get this. Who wants a baby? I'm hearing quotes in here I've never heard before.
4:31
I replaced one of the, yeah, one of the tilt warnings. Oh, yes. Thank you. Also, what is this nonsense? We gave it a few more seconds.
4:54
Good slapping. Monger's up. Take him down. We like to keep ours on easy Monger so that it gets in the way more, which is actually harder. Yeah.
5:16
Hello, what am I doing? I need to relabel the switcher here. Nice, nice. Three more hits. Two more. Start War Machine and then bring one hit.
5:54
You're fine. Don't sweat it. You're in a good place to start War Machine and then bring that into Monger.
6:02
Or maybe save War Machine for when he gets Whiplash. Or whatever you're feeling. So Crystal heads up on the buttons here.
6:16
I didn't have time to label them. I'm still me, you're still you, and the queen is Brad. I don't know what that does. Nothing. Oh, it does nothing?
6:30
Oh, it used to make a sound. I got rid of that for the moment. All right, let's tweak these rules. Go ahead and bite the monitor's knees off. Jack.
6:46
Brad and Crystal. There we go. Rules are updated. Death Mask, you have all the fun emojis, I must say.
7:07
That is a monkey smoking a bubble pipe. jaded what's up buddy all right let's finish up here oh shut up jeff 200 000 oh that sucked Robert Downey multiball.
7:41
Sector 16. I should have caught that. So I need one more monger shot. Or a drone. So, Monger. Then start War Machine.
8:17
Oh, God, I wanted to baby flip that so bad. I'm going to hit the Monger a few times. Jack Cowboy. Gorilla.
8:44
One hit. Oh my god. Woohoo! That was stupid. Jerk top. Alright, he's up. I'd like to hit War Machine again. Yay, I did it.
9:08
Atta ball. Whoa. Holy crap. That was intense. Please. Wait. Wow. That was awesome. You're making this start, right?
9:44
By early, I mean we started a few minutes early. And if you're talking drinking, I don't think I stopped drinking until like 4 o'clock this morning. Yeah, I'm feeling pretty gnarly right now.
10:02
All right, so I just need Iron Man to do or die. All right. Here we go, here we go. Here we go. Okay.
10:18
Here we go, here we go. Nice. Iron Man completed. Mark 6 completed. You son of a... Do or die. Gun to your head.
10:34
One more shot. There's a countdown. There's a do or die for you, folks. And an all-scores 2X.
10:54
And Jericho. Okay, yeah, you get two. Wow. That escalated quickly, huh? Yep, I can go home now. You're kidding me.
11:14
You're freaking kidding me. No chance to even flip at all those points right there. Holy farts. Now you got the what the hell do I do on ball three. Most excellent. Colchak, thanks for coming. Yeah, now I get to do nothing on ball three. Yeah, something.
11:34
Come on, Crystal. You know what? Alcohol didn't sound good, but there's something about gin and tonic mixed together that's actually sort of refreshing.
11:49
Burns like hell in my stomach. There you go buddy. You wanted, you probably wanted War Machine first, but you're fine. It'll be waiting for you. I think most people prefer to start staying with the Flash. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because the ball stay on the Flash is about two seconds. Oh god, it's terrible. Why is that? Yeah, it's nothing. And there's no points in that one. Get in there. If you want to get into the actual wizard mode, you need that extra thing. Come on. There's a wizard mode on this game? Do or die multiball? There's a do or die multiball? Yeah.
12:30
It's ridiculous. No one has done it. Literally no one has done it. We're about to see it tonight. Okay. Yeah.
12:43
Oh, never mind. Oh, my God. Holy crap, dude. Get the clean iron, man. If you hit War Machine, there you go. If you hit War Machine, you get an add-a-ball.
13:05
Come on. Good old impossible shots. Oh, the fumble is real. Multi-ball. No cigarillos. Ouchios. Ouchios, huh?
13:25
Good job, bud. Well, it's a shame this is a practice game, because holy ball two. I hate this, too. Being like, okay, I've got to get through a bunch of micro shots on ball three.
13:37
Worst feeling in the world. Now. Nice save. Whoa, that was dirty. Okay, just got to keep hitting him in the shins. Yep. That's exactly how you do that. Done. So.
14:02
Come on, bro. Jesus. Yeah, do you get more for head shots? Oh, the last red. Oh, my God. I saw you change your stance. I knew what you were going to do.
14:28
Thanks for coming, everybody. We got a lot of Turbo users. Turbo. You get to watch on Twitch. You pay a monthly fee for Twitch in general. You don't have to look at the ads that happen. You get some other stuff. You can eat the plastic. It just won't come out that easily.
14:57
All right, let's try to continue our hot streak here. Spell Iron Man. I'm working on it. Yeah, I'm working on my second bogey.
15:21
Oops, that's the end of me. We got a bogey. Yeah. I'll look this way. One danger. I got the bogey in my sight.
15:54
You're going to play. You got to get into it. Who wants a baby? Call Colonel Sanders. No. Oh, God. No. Stop.
16:10
Dang. That smells incredible, by the way. Yeah. Very good, sir. All right. Now that that'll never happen again, let's start the old tournament up. We'll go in order. So I'll go, then who went first? I want first. Then you're second. I'll be third. Or you'll be third. Sorry. So if you guys are betting at home, go ahead and bet and see if you can actually get that score. Yeah. Let's beat our three. Yeah, let's see if that's actually achievable again, folks. All right, here we go.
16:59
I'm going to guess our scores are not going to add up. Half the marbles. Yeah, no kidding. Dang it. That I've taken. Whose emotes are those? Some of them look like soda poppins, but... What's that dang in one?
17:20
Oh, that's what I meant to do today. I was going to apply for... Yeah. Oh, the email goes out really late.
17:34
Yeah. Oh, frick, my phone just buzzed. I don't know what that means. Queen. Queen, queen, queen. That last service ball.
17:52
Man, that has been very forgiving these past couple days. Soda poppin'? He's a popular World of Warcraft Twitch creator.
18:09
Boom! Yeah, I fumbled that one. Fumbled. Yeah. I already rattled it pretty hard. Ha ha. Crystal. Shoot the spinners to battle the iron man. Well, what the heck just happened there?
18:39
I almost got two balls Yeah time was like it I going to spin them all over this thing Hero of gaming, huh?
18:53
One hundred thousand. I just want to partner with Twitch so we can get our own Damamo. Ah! You got me beat.
19:06
I didn't hit the one thing. before I trade. I'm just making sure this isn't freaking out. No, not freaking out. He's a non-popular partner.
19:20
Yeah, that makes sense. That's what we want to be. Non-popular partner, but have really cool emoticons.
19:28
We're all freaking artists here. We can make something interesting, I'm sure. Oh, come on, Monjer. Right? It's Monjer? The G is silent.
19:45
Why is that shot rejecting me so hard? That was unfortunate. Yeah, something about that shot just got dirty for me. I can't make it anymore.
19:58
I can't make it. True Nation, thanks for coming. Just a heads up. The email goes out 15 to 20 minutes late that says we're live. The Twitter, I believe, is on time. And, well, if you're just in chat at 5 o'clock, we'll be here.
20:22
We have a clean track record. We don't intend on ruining that yet. All right, buddy, you got this. Your monger is waiting for you.
20:33
Collecting drones. That was a circumstance where if you would have drove the slingshot into the ball, you could have popped it out of danger. This? Yeah. Hey, hey.
20:43
Can you show me again? Are you like, what? Tilt. It's about three degrees outside. Yeah, it's about 29 degrees for us here. Oh, he's gone insane.
20:58
I feel like this is a care home. He's insane. No! Walk it off, buddy. These scores are garbage. But that's Ironman for you, folks. You get 65 one game, and then you never get it for the rest of your life.
21:33
Well, my bogeys are ready, and Monger's ready, so I don't know what to do here. Light my bogeys. Well, light my bogeys.
21:45
Looks like we're going bogeys. It's anything that's flashing with a red arrow. But if I hit the loop, it's going to bring the Monger up if he's just in the way.
21:59
And War Machine. If I can hit him. Who wants a baby? I don't care. Oh, my God. Calm down. Oh, my God. I just want freaking War Machine.
22:32
Stop it. War Machine. All right. So late, though. So late. So what? I don't have any modes going. Oh, I have Festival. Who's got my 40?
23:08
Please stay alive. Gotcha. All the shields, all the shields. I'm playing this game really well. I don't know what's going on. Oh, see, the second you start... Oh, man, one shot to whiplash.
23:34
Gotcha. That's the stack you want. Say tortoise? I said tortoise. Tortoise. That was a tortoise shot, my friend. Woo!
23:51
Shoot. That's fine. 75 jaded, you jerk. My ball got stuck on the old peg back there. I'm just going to let it kick it out.
24:10
I'm one monger away from do or die again. Give me balls, please. Oh, jeez. All right. Go back down, buddy. All right. All I got to do is complete this dude, and we got do or die again.
24:30
Holy crap. Oh. Falafel? One more hit. Oh, I got that. Playing on eggshells. All right, we've got to make this... Won't even want to come out of their caves.
25:03
I'm hearing so many sound bites I've never heard before. Oh, they're being cut off? That could be my fault, too.
25:12
Crystal, can you give me a little scream love there, darling? A little what? A little button love. It looks like balls? Yeah. It's stuck in the same place it was last time. I don't know how to get it out.
25:28
I guess I could shoot a ball up there. There we go. Nope. There we go. Gotcha. Yeah, you're not allowed to keep a stuck ball, especially during something like this.
25:47
Hold on. My man. Oh, well. No, Jericho. No. Do or die, too. Frick. He's coming for another big score, folks. Didn't happen. Do or die.
26:05
Yes. That would be correct. Why? You shouldn't have grabbed that. Go dump that out and grab something else. There's other beers in there.
26:20
I respect that, sir. I respect that. Stop it. Nice. Oh, God. No, no, no. Is it better to be feared or respected? I'm going to try harder.
26:47
I'm choking. I'm dying. Good ball. Soft lunge. Good ball. I don't know. Felt like a good ball. A game?
26:57
A game. Sucks so much. Calm down. Okay. New eggs. Yeah, I was one shot away from a lot of points. That sucks.
27:15
Whoa. Just going to ramp up. Ramp it up, buddy. Whoa, you mean drone out? Lots of baby flips. Or not.
27:25
Go right for the big guy. Jaded, gross. I don't know that I could live in year-round hot temperatures.
27:37
That was a beautiful catch, man. Oh, yeah. No. Oh, my God. I'm Sony. You're fine. Cell phone. Come on.
28:03
Oh, it's yours. Bomb can. So, you matched. Play again. Boom, boom, boom, boom. All right, so... Crystal, you took second?
28:17
Yes. Good brain, man. I'm guessing. All right, let's keep this ball rolling. When you were in Monger, did the thought of dropping out of multiball cross your mind just to go for do or die? Um, no, because I so infrequently get to do or die that the thought of me even having that shot available never crosses my mind. For me, I would always have one ball trapped under all, at all times. At all times, yeah. You know. You're not, you're not two guns blazing at this guy.
28:55
Yeah. I wouldn't be worried too much about that super. Well, I definitely threw a lot of money away. Um, alright, let's go again, same order.
29:06
Good luck. Good luck. Good luck, everybody. I am gonna go... What's with the short plunge?
29:22
Some dirty up there? Did you get that too, a little short plunge? Oh. Mine was on accident. That was a like five-pitch Yeah.
29:41
All right, Crystal. Kill it, buddy. Boom. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. So this stream is only a month old. We need to block you out. And there's 141 people that care enough to want to see us do this every time we go live. Which is awesome. Thanks, guys. One, five, new junction. Yes, sir.
30:05
100,000. Let's do crystal, a little, a little, a little action. Come on. Sail it. All right, I'm going to start thinking about this game a lot. Uh-oh. Oh, damn it.
30:23
This game, I feel like I have to think about what to do next, not what I'm doing right now. Not what you're currently doing?
30:29
You said your last name wrong. Gemnick? You did. Gemnick. Yeah. What's your last name? Gemnitch. You say Gemnich like sandwich? Like sandwich.
30:42
100,000. He's crystal Gemnich. Where the heck? It's German. Ho, ho, ho, ho. All right.
31:03
I soft-clenched again like a frickin' ding-dong. Choose the spinners to battle the iron man. Ground assault drone.
31:14
Sea assault drone. Whee! Who wants a baby? I need answers. Can I please get eyes on the target? Can I please get out of my car? And I'm finished.

Okay. No. No! You just added a drone. Never add a drone. Can you grab me a surprise? Anything? Yeah.
32:18
Punch in the face? Hopefully it's not a salty surprise. Gross? Donate to kids, folks. There you go. Two extra bonus multiply.
32:37
Going to ramp out. You're fine. You just... You're getting ready to push over a toddler or something. What the... All right. Punch a baby. So I blew my bogeys, but I still have mongers. So I'm going to make my two shots to Manger here. Actually, it's only one because I think the plunge gives you one, doesn't it? Then it comes down that way. Yeah. Then I can sneak out the other side. Totally.
33:10
Mark Sheridan, you are correct. Playing Iron Man is an exercise in temper control. I don't smell that so much. Candy. You folks want to hear me suck on a Jolly Rancher? Yep. Is that sexy?
33:22
I'll try to keep my mouth shut. Here we go. Tampa, Tampa, let me get that iron, mom. You can make a little bit of progress on this. We still want to kind of wait.
33:38
Yeah. And there's my boy. Oh, that's a spankbird. That's a Spiderman. That was two neighbors. Didn't get my hands on it.
34:07
Alright, go around. Or go in the drain. Hey, buddy. What's going on? I'm sorry, why do I have so many balls?
34:31
Alright. Can I hit the... Oh my, the fumble. Yep. Oh my god, that sucks. That's all I wanted. No, don't you mean, what fun? No, no, no, you mean, what fun?

37:00
Yeah, pour that salt. That's a really good score, Jack. The old ping pong stream. Your mortgage for War Machine multiball. I can't believe that's happened to me twice in a row. I backhand garbage today Don backhand garbage Aw There you go One more hit to Monger to get him rolling That would be every shot You gotta backhand that garbage. Mm-hmm. Oh, cheated! Yeah. You can go around the loop. Good. Cheated. Oh, yeah. There you go.
37:55
Ain't going to do you no good, but... Thanks, Brad. No, you're doing good. Come on. Freaking multi-ball is a waste of time.
38:15
Okay. This sucks. Grab it. ping pong some of the guys in the studio here are just these fat people they went to another animation studio just around the corner that were bragging and just one guy went over there, dominated all four of them and came back over here We got a bogey.
38:56
Who wants a baby? No? Am I making really gross mouth noises? Ew. Who wants a baby? Shh. Oh, mama. You shot for it. Oh, that magnet. Okay.
39:49
I feel like Brad just has to get dialed in. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Now he's one point. I feel like that. The monger. Well, so Brad took second on that one.
40:13
So the marks increase over the three balls to Jericho, and collecting all the characters is one ball. Actually, do or die is all the characters. You have to make the shot, and then you have to make the shot again. So it's actually two shots to that center spinner. Yeah. The marks are just for Jericho. Yeah, the marks are Jericho. I'm on the move.
40:39
It gets full weight. All right, the order has changed. I will start us off. Yep, yep, yep, yep. They are...
40:57
I guess I just open them up. There they are. Thanks, buddy. And he. No. Harder. Excellent. Excellent work. Thanks. I'm here.
41:26
Collect eight drones for war machine multiball. I'll never collect drones. Dammit. All right. This game is all ball-free for me, apparently. It's all whatever ball you get everything ready. Mm-hmm.
41:44
I didn't do that. I worked. I didn't get anything going on ball. Is there a bogey user? You backhand the left turn?
41:54
Oh, you're right. Collect drone targets. I think it is. I don't know. Das Bacon! Welcome! Thanks for coming, buddy.

Why, why? Oh, the fumble. Oh my god, you lucky turd. Set up sector 16 under the arc reactor. Sector 16. Spell Iron Man for last score. Oh, oh, oh! Good save.
42:37
You had every spinner spin. Do not shoot for that center shot. Go around a loop to bring him up. Yeah, the left loop is my case.
42:54
Grab the edge of the flipper. Beautiful. Yeah, you're making unnecessarily hard shots. Yeah. Crystal. Come on, Crystal.
43:13
What? That's a Jack Danger right there. Hold the flipper up and just watch it roll off. I haven't tried the old inline catch. It probably worked pretty good on this game, I imagine. Oh, you think so? I've never tried it. I'm not sure where it is. You used to work great at the Ironman. I think it was.
43:36
You did a ramp and catch it. Let's go. We went over this way to find a ramp. 200,000. Whoa. That was dirty. Or clean, but.
44:00

44:16
That's all I wanted. Yeah. Okay. Now we're going to get the Monger. Graze. Oh god. my life. Two more times.
44:38
That was a mistake. Yes, dear. Oh. I think my brain just shut down right there. Well. We got one more ball. Stuff's set up. Okay. Let's go ahead and take it. Oh, man.
44:57
Hope everyone's having a good night. It's freaking cold outside. I was at the California Clipper on California until about 3 in the morning last night, drinking till my heart's content, and I am suffering for it today.
45:22
Get out. That's really bad. Usually it doesn't do that. Hit him on the right side. Yeah. Right towards the outlet. Oh, gosh.
45:33
Oh, jeez. Well, you spent your good luck. Sounds like he's like three o'clock or something. Crystal mentioned it sounds like he's, you know, waking up in the morning. He's like, ah.
45:58
All right, Crystal. What's your middle name? Dawn. Crystal Dawn. Getting it on. So what do I got? I've got... Yep. Something else.
46:14
Whatever that can be. Bubble. Oh, please. No. Crystal Dawn. Drain her balls. That is why some people completely ignore the skill shot in this game. Oh, really? Just a dirty feed.
46:35
Because pops don't keep it alive. Okay. But on Iron Man, sometimes you're lucky to get points at all.
46:50
Oh, like zero? Zero. Mm-hmm. Jaden, you just now got the email? What the crap? I don't get it, man. Yeah, robot beat.
47:15
No, I don't think so. How about you guys? One of you go that way. You calm down. Thanks buddy. Now we farm this piece of crap.
47:37
Oh I should have just caught that. You gotta make your father proud. Oh great, more shit to worry about. More shit to worry about. Soap that.
47:56
Swamp bar, Joe. Gotcha, buddy. All right, now let's bring them up again and repeat the process. I don't want four freaking balls on the play field right now. I really wish they'd make the substance for it work more.
48:16
Oh, they aren't? They're all worth three. That sucks. Shotgun blast. You're kind of out of time. Can we get this started?
48:28
Oh, I hit... Get out of here. No one wants you. Not you. You can stay. No one wants you. That was a poor shot. Another poor shot. What do you say, Grace, is that Dex can get slightly lower scores?
48:49
Every time. It's going to happen too. It's going to get lower and lower by at least 2 million. Go ahead and soft plunge so I get control.
49:00
Control! Boy, you got to soft plunge. Mark was completely... Completely unnecessary. Nice. That needs to be louder. It needs to be much louder.
49:35
The anger. Good. Oh, my God. Did you hear that? I saw your muscles flexing. You're like, here it comes. He's going to flip the game over.
49:59
What do you mean you're freezing up? I'd be shaking the crap out of Getaway for 10 minutes. Oh, nice.
50:09
I don't think we're dropping any frames. No, we don't have any dropped frames. I can do one thing. If everybody's freezing, I got one ace up my sleeve.
50:31
Oh, man. What's the bonus going to be? Oh. Okay. Here's the deal. I got one less thing I can do. Our internet here is like blazing fast, so I don't know why there would be any problems. But we're going to switch over to phone chat.
50:55
Phone chat. I think we're going to switch to phone chat. Crystal, just go get a beer, dang it. Got me?
51:08
I've seen this type of game that drives people to drink. It drives people to drink. Alright, so you took second on that, Brad? Yes. Alright.
51:17
If you've never had a drink before in your life, play Iron Man. You'll become an alcoholic. You'll figure out what alcohol is real quick.
51:25
Real quick. Okay. Quit this. That alone should speed things up if we were having any problems. and let me check one last thing it's running a freaking speed test they just re-bottled sparks in like a fun what? do you know sparks? how old are you guys?
52:09
It was the party drink from 06 to 08. It came in a tall can. It was neon orange. You knew who your friends were because they had bright orange mouths. Oh, God. And it was super, super caffeinated, super, super alcoholic. Yeah, I was 17, so I wouldn't drink it. And you're just like buzzing but completely wasted, and it was a party. But they banned it. You'd be on the floor shaking, drooling out of your mouth. Like, that dude knows how to party.
52:41
That dude knows how to party. It was like Four Loko or something. It was the precursor to Four Loko. Four Loko came out to replace the Sparks. So they banned Sparks and then, okay, we'll do something new. They found a loophole, yeah.
52:57
Nope, our internet is ba-ba-ba-ba-banging. Ba-ba-ba-ba-banging. Ba-ba-ba-banging. All right, folks. I don't know what to tell you. I'm sorry. It is what it is. I'm so ashamed of that game.
53:11
Much ashamed. Such disappointment. Very sad. I will go first. Brad will go second. The earlier evolution I had was Ender Hero. That was awesome. Yeah, Ender Hero was pretty good.
53:30
Let's keep this ball rolling. Like me, it's like, you know, Literally. Literally? I don't like using that word. Sometimes I think I'm not using it right.
53:55
Hello. Who? Oh, sorry. I have no idea who I just let in into my building, folks. Do you know Justin? Maybe it was Tristan?
54:20
There's people out there. Yeah, we're fine. That's where the baseball bat is. I mean, we'll be okay.
54:30
Sector 16. Oh, no. Yo, I'm sure he has a real knife. Yeah. None of them shanked. I tried. Yeah, he's got that stuff, man.
54:57
Folks, is the stream looking a little better? It looks fine on our end. We're actually watching it live as well as streaming. We just turned it off to reduce the strain on the old internets there.
55:10
What? Whoa! There's like three really large strangers out there. I do have them. but they're with one of the guys.
55:33
They're probably, no, they're from, they do like a beer podcast here. The beer podcast, this is. Excuse me. No, I'm just making sure everything's good to go.
55:47
Oh, you should have said anything. That's like, you know, you might have been a zero. Melendek. Melendek, Melendek. Favorite game in the studio currently has to be ACDC. Yeah. Absolutely. We have the list of games on the About page for the Twitch here But ACDC is just a game that if you want to play it differently you can I mean other games it like shoot for the same crap over and over again But you get to choose where your points come from on ACDC. It's a super deep rule set. It's pretty legit.
56:27
Right. Different approaches on how to, like, make your money. Now it's my turn. Oh, hey. This game, you've kind of got two rows, really, to go down. Right.
56:39
Well... I'm going down that monger road. Oh, man, these doors are on point. This is going. If I could hit the ramps, that would definitely be a round of soft throw. I don't think I've hit a ramp.
56:50
Okay. Good night. That's it. I did it. What's your least favorite game in the studio? Oh, that would have to be Data East since it does fuck that game. Is that a good enough explanation? Donate to kids. Sorry for swearing. That game's just a piece of crap.
57:11
It's hard. They tried. And I apologize if some of my pinball creator friends were in charge of that.
57:22
But it is a bad game. We also have a Virtua pin in here, but no one plays that thing. because we have real pinball machines.
57:38
Ooh, ripstick. I'm going to get punched in the face. Jaden, thank you for asking the opposite question.
57:50
We sure do get a lot of the favorite game talk. All right. You ever try to use a little flick? A little tip flick? How? You just kind of like, like barely let it go. Yeah. You might want to try to do that when you, when it's going to roll at the end of the desk. Yes. Because it'll pop it over to the other side. Like. Yep. Got it. It's called a flick pass. That's what I was saying. Well, that's called a flick pass. It's called flicking Iron Man off. It's called flicking him off. Whoa. What is that? I'm rubbing my little head. I'm rubbing my head. Aw. Hey, buddy. Hey, champ. You're doing so good.
58:36
You're doing so well today. I moved the chat to the phone because YOLO, is that what kids say? YOLO.
58:47
So, it's a what? Okay, I'm in a bad place. It's ball three. I have two million points. So, instead of shooting for monger, I'm going to ramp up. never mind I changed my mind I changed my mind I changed my mind I'm not shooting for that oh god okay I'm gonna ramp up no I'm not right there for warm machine warm warm at game. War McKean. Can you actually hit it on purpose? I never can. Well, I shot the... Oh, my freaking crap. Bullshit. Oh, excuse me. I'm going to go ahead and let that... Bullfrogs. Let air out a little bit. Let air out. I absolutely took last place in this.
59:52
This is going to be real hard. I lined it all up, nothing happened. I'm going to go ahead and take my skill shaft, I guarantee.
60:00
Folks, just a disclaimer on Ironman. You're looking at these scores, you're going, what the hell are they doing, right? How can you get only three million on a pinball machine? Especially in a certain, well, let me tell you something.
60:15
Regardless of how it's set up, go to your local bar or arcade, play Ironman, And tell me if you get even a million points on this.
60:26
You can have eight, but because if you can play it with your internet for four minutes, you're doing well. Yeah. This machine is all or nothing. You get three million or you get 30 million. It's just how Iron Man, how Tony Stark feels like treating him.
60:45
Typically, he's a cocky piece of crap. That was real pretty. Whoa, dude. Are you timing something out?
61:06
Clip, clip. Nice up and over there. Good save, man. Good save, good save, good save. Also, another good save.
61:20
Mrs. Monger's like, God, he's so grumpy without his breakfast. Go over there to the super? Yeah, buddy.
61:28
Man, calling shots and drinking balls. I got a lot of those aftershaves. Yep. Everybody. I got my money.
61:40
Locked. Completed. Locked. Planted. Parasol drop. Air assault.
61:57
Wait, are you saying hair assault? Like an umbrella. Air assault. No, sorry, kids, go. Wait, what? We're getting high. We're getting high?
62:12
Kill it. I can't. He's trying to ramp out, folks. Whoa, that was a beautiful pop there. Good job, Brad. You got the boogie.
62:25
Oh, no. That's all people don't know is that boogie is like all five shots. You can just hit the... Yeah, you can hit anything. The only problem with that is if you go right for boogie's first thing, the monger ends up standing up because you hit the loops. This is like my deal.
62:44
Good ball, man. Uh, Crystal, just don't tilt and you take second place. Will it, Cruz? Shots fired. Yeah, shots fired. Wait, what?
63:05
All right. You finally damaged it. You finally took me down. No! It's fine. All right. Guess I go last. You got a turkey on the last one. You got three in a row. Yeah.
63:19
Oh, yeah, I have a turkey. I have six points. Brad has four. Crystal has two. Maybe inter-bowling rules? Yeah, wait a second. I hear there is actually pin-bowling.
63:31
Pin-bowling? Yeah. There's pin-golf, which is fun. It's like a variation of pin-golf. Hmm. But why do we have to base our sport on another sport? I don't know.
63:43
Because the scoring's different on every freaking machine, that's why. Because somebody didn't want to add all those numbers together. Yeah. Okay. You get a three. Just go over there.
63:53
All right. Load it up. Brad starts. Chris the second. I take up the rear. Much lag, such sad. No way. That can't be possible. It might be Twitch, folks.
64:12
Yeah, Twitch, I guess, is. Twitch isn't, uh, isn't so cool. Alright. Oh my god, he's, he's got insane.
64:22
What a, uh, yeah. He's drowning himself, bro. That's all me. Much like, so sad. Whoa! Stop all that. Stop it.
64:39
Whoosh. Everyone reset your routers. I don't, I have no idea what the box is. I just brought up the stream and it looks fine to me. It shows Brad playing.
65:01
Well, if it fast forwards beyond real time, tell me who wins. Crystal, listen. I got you, dog. You're going to give me a play better. Yeah, right. Play better.
65:18
Oh. No, no. No pepper. Salty. Much sad. Such salt. Very depressed. Here we go.
65:45
And longer. That was nothing I was shooting for. That's a longer shot. Air assault. Man, really? Calm down, dude.
66:01
Just testing the ramps out, folks. Looks like they're good. Making a hot jam over there? I say, too much to ask for both.
66:20
Jerker. We got a bogey. Oh, we got to screw up sometime, I guess. Who wants a baby? Ramp all day, ramp all night.
66:52
I'm never running out of time. Oh, crap. And you. Who's out of time? Oh. Melinda, or Melindak, I'm sorry if I'm calling you by the wrong name. The game that we dislike the most is Data East Simpsons.
67:17
War. I didn't think that was a good game for this time. All around not good. All around super not good.
67:30
I'm trying to hit War Machine. It's even worse right now because it's like, Yeah. Simpsons Dead East because fuck that game.
67:48
Yeah, Dollar, Tradition's right. I think it's Twitch right now. Something's being crazy. Because we have 100 down, 20 up. And we're hitting those peaks. All right, I got to stop talking and start shooting.
68:15
Poor Obama. Says this dude. Oh. All them politics. All them Twitch politics. God, where is that shot?
68:33
All right, here it goes. Not what I wanted. Not what I wanted, folks. Not what I wanted. Wait, what am I... Oh, this is... Sorry.
68:56
Yeah. I'm like, why is nothing lit right now? I roll the wood. Jeff Bridges, get the cotton out of your mouth, buddy.
69:16
Oh, we're so much older. Why don't you say Toby? Oh, you're not saying Toby? No! Why did I do that? I was playing like a... I don't even care.
69:33
Good night, sweetheart. The first smash would have been a little horrible. That's my technical term for you. You did it wrong.
69:53
Yeah, sorry, folks. The stream's chugging. What the heck was that? We got them fast dinners. I'm going to do another speed test just to see what's going on.
70:26
Yep, downloads capping. Looks fucking great. Yeah, it's weird, guys, because our frames per second are maxed out, and we have zero drops. I'm not sure. It's got to be the website.
70:43
Because our upload speed is cruising. Oh, my. Not authorized to shake the game, Dave. Yeah, right. I mean, you remember Dave.
71:00
My name's not Dave, Iron Man. Yeah, Tony. Toby. Or should I call you Toby? Yeah, Joey. Honestly, all of our stupid pinball misnomers come from this game.
71:25
Obadiah. Old Big Diaper. We could try eventually. We're trying to stay on Twitch. I heard that you can stream live on YouTube, but I like that Twitch is a gaming channel.
71:46
Hopefully they'll fix it since Amazon bought them out. Let's get War Machine, light up Whiplash, and call it a day.
72:00
Oh, you know what? Let's stream on a freaking sports network. All right. Let's find this. Ready? Done.
72:12
Call your mama. For the drama. I'm a terrible rhymer. I'm not. I am not a rapper. All right. So let's hit War Machine again.
72:32
Here comes that big money Big money No whammies No whammies, big money Stop The old crisscross Atta ball Oh.
73:04
Please. Please stay in. I love you. Why did I do that? Why did I do... Why am I doing any of this right now?
73:18
Jericho is El Lito. So I just got to hit the center spinner, which is notoriously a very hard shot for me to hit. For your consideration.
73:30
Tortoise. Does the camera shake when the shaker motor goes off? Buzz. Buzz, buzz, buzz. You're like a super powering. Yeah, right, guys. I apologize for the seasickness.
73:51
I'm making very super dangerous shots right now. All right, now let's go for ramps? No. War Machine.
74:08
You have to be farting farting me. You stupid fart. Evade your eyes. That got really loud. This walk by hit one of the knobs with his coffee mug. Ten minutes after you asked them?
74:41
Yo, let me... I could try stopping the stream and starting it again. Let me do that. Sorry about this.
