TL;DR

MPT3K streams Circus Voltaire gameplay while discussing machine quirks and upcoming pinball releases.

Summary

Mystery Pinball Theater 3000 host streams gameplay of Circus Voltaire (Bally 1997) at Free World Watch arcade while missing Pinburgh tournament. The stream features extended play sessions, technical troubleshooting of machine settings (tournament mode complications, wide outlanes, magnet inconsistencies), casual conversation with viewers and local players, and tangential discussion of upcoming Stern Jurassic Park and community merchandise.

Key Claims

  • Circus Voltaire has exceptionally wide outlane posts that result in frequent drainage losses

    high confidence · Direct observation during gameplay; host repeatedly mentions wide posts as a playfield design characteristic

  • The Circus Voltaire machine at Free World Watch is currently set to tournament mode, which affects gameplay (wide posts, different scoring)

    high confidence · Host identifies and confirms tournament mode settings after multiple gameplay observations

  • Stern is bringing six Pro units and one Premium Edition of Jurassic Park to Pinburgh

    medium confidence · Host states 'I heard they're bringing six...six Stern AC/DC Pro Vault Edition and one Premium Edition' but with hedging language

  • Keith Elwin designed Iron Maiden and Jurassic Park, both considered high-quality games

    high confidence · Direct statement: 'Keith Elwin hit a home run with Iron Maiden. It was a terrific game'

  • The ringmaster magnet on Circus Voltaire sometimes fails to properly lock/catch the ball

    medium confidence · Multiple gameplay instances where magnet does not function as expected; unclear if machine malfunction or gameplay mechanic inconsistency

Notable Quotes

  • “My main issue with Circus Voltaire is that the out lane posts are so wide. The out lane posts are so wide that you get a lot of out lane drains.”

    MPT3K host@ 12:31 — Core design criticism of Circus Voltaire playfield layout affecting difficulty and drain frequency

  • “If they put it on the stage at Pinburgh, we'll know how corrupt Sam Stern is.”

    MPT3K host@ 65:41 — Implies concern about potential conflict of interest if Jurassic Park (designed by Keith Elwin) is featured in Pinburgh finals where Elwin may compete

  • “Keith Elwin hit a home run with Iron Maiden. It was a terrific game. I don't think... Generally speaking, like, until you flip a game, you won't know how it is.”

    MPT3K host@ 65:13 — Acknowledges Elwin's track record while expressing caution about automatic assumptions regarding future designs

  • “The stage is the 10 machines that will be used for the top 20.”

    Stream viewer (Wax)@ 68:04 — Clarifies Pinburgh tournament format: final stage features 10 machines selected from larger pool

  • “I'm not going to automatically give Keith Elwin a pass just because he made an amazing first game.”

While everyone else is out at Replay FX. Everyone's at Pinberg, I know. But I thought I would drown my sorrows in a little bit of Circus Voltaire today. Even though I can't be with you guys.
1:55
Free Go Watch. My favorite spot. What's up? Who's that? I tilt that. What's up, I tilt that? Are you at home too? You're not at Pemberg?

Damn it. Next year. Next year I'm going. Today I'm going to the circus. Oh, I spoke too soon. Hang on a second.

    • I'll get a six pack of something else. I'll get a six pack of... You know what I got a six pack of? I got a six pack of this. What's up Snivy Tries I got a six pack of this Oh I get that noisy circus I get to see that noisy circus Yeah this is the one that From last week right So I am not at Pemburg like I said I'm here drowning my sorrows in some circus bolts here I really wish I was there Next year, next year I'll go Guys, let me know if my playfield freezes again. I got my eye on it right now.
    3:30
    I'm just going to play a little bit right now. See if I remember. Wow, boom balloon. Bang! How valuable is this boom balloon shot?
    3:51
    Oh, that sucked. That's ball two, by the way. So I made sure to play a test game before I started a game.
    4:03
    Because of what happened at World Cup Soccer the other day, where the flipper was terrible. Also, do you guys know how hard it is to shoot that DMD down there?
    4:15
    It's like nothing but reflections. Oh, I think I remember most of the rules for circuits. Alright. Well, I do know that I really like to get to...
    4:33
    What do you call it? Juggler. There we go. I like to get my juggler as soon as possible. Because that's a pretty lucrative multiball, right? Juggler.
    4:52
    We can lock a ball right now. All right. But I'm pretty sure Juggler is worth some points, right? It's just really hard to get.
    5:10
    Ramp kick out? Why are you keeping out from the ramp? There's like no balls in the machine right now.
    5:19
    The second lock. Popcorn! You wanna shoot those things that the ball can bounce off of? Popcorn! What's popcorn? Popcorn! Oh, that's because I'm in that mode right now. I am the ringmaster. If you need for a ring round and ball... I have spot marvel lit.
    5:52
    Wow, there's all kinds of stuff going on right now. Popcorn Mania. All things score ten times. Let's do multi... Oh!
    6:07
    Crap. So, I get it. You were... So I was in Popcorn Mania mode. Got it. Everything scores 10 times. I was so focused on Juggler and the multi-ball here that I missed it. But that was my test game.
    6:29
    That was my test game. All right. Hercules, Hercules, Hercules. What are we doing?
    6:37
    No, everything scores 30K. Ringmasters are the hardest to complete. Yeah, you were at MPT3K. You were, you were. Oh, got it. For joining the circus. So it's ten times you.
    7:00
    Alright. So, some easy ways to get through this. I could go for... I could go for Ringmasters. Oh, come on, no give me my skill shot? That was a skill shot. That was a skill shot. I am the ringmaster. Defeat me for the ringmaster marvel.
    7:53
    Sideshow is lit I should hit him though Let's hit him a couple times Well shouldn't the ringmaster Wait Shouldn't the ringmaster have a magnet there
    8:23
    Oh, that sucks if that magnet is not there. High wires you need to work on. Ringmaster level 2 or 3.
    8:45
    Here it comes. I'll take that. I'll hit him again. I'll hit him again and see if it works. I thought the ringmaster's hat had a magnet that could lead to sneaky rocks. Yeah, I agree. Maybe the ball just rolled in a weird way.
    9:15
    Maybe the ball just rolled weird and it didn't go in. Or it didn't get locked on it. Magnet only when it's down. Let's try another ring master to see what happens.
    9:38
    I hate that balloon. It's not catching it. I'll take that. I think we're seeing ringmaster issues, guys.
    10:16
    That was the wrong thing to do. Do the judges score? Extra ball on boom balloons. Is it really? Oh, sugar.
    10:28
    Extra ball. How many boom balloon hits gives you an extra ball? It's like my average score is 7 million right now.
    10:45
    All right. I'm going to see what you guys are saying. because what you guys are saying is generally more important than what I'm doing. The magnet does work. It played with the ball when you hit it while it seemed to hold the ball. Yeah.
    10:56
    I think it is working. There we go. I think you're right. I don't know if it works. I need proof if it works.
    11:17
    It's just not catching it. It's supposed to suck it to it, right? No sneaky locks for me. Wow, that's a quick one.
    11:45
    There was barely any ball save on that. Or maybe it's just me. Okay. I want to go back to my... God dang it.
    12:01
    I want to go back to my other strategy. I can finish my Acrobats. Get up there! Get up there! Finish my Acrobats. Oh wow what a weird hop!
    12:21
    Hey hey! Juggler is lit! Take it easy bro, good seeing you. My main issue with circuits is that the out lane posts are so low. The out lane posts are so low that you get a lot of out lane drains. Not if you hit your shots. Oh my god. That's the way pinball works. Not if you hit your shots.
    13:20
    Not if you hit your shots. They're just ringing in my head. Alright. This is why we're here. We're here to play pinball. Right? We're here to play. It's terrible as it is, we're here to play. I always put myself in a situation... What's up, Wax? Fully upgraded VPX and rebuilt the newer tables. Adams, Funhouse, Atlantis, Cuphead. You rebuilt Cuphead? My board is on its way to Canada.
    13:51
    The board that I'm trying to get fixed for my VPIN is on its way to Canada. So I won't be able to play until I get back from Hawaii.
    13:59
    Bang! Oh. But we are playing Circus I'm telling you There are games that I know a lot better than this Usually when I'm on stream I play a game that I'm not familiar with And then when I'm off stream I go play games that I'm familiar with And I feel so much better Alright so Ah I can't do that Now you got me wanting to shoot the boom-balloon like... always. That Atlantis build on VPS looks nice. How's it play? Wax is the man! Wax is the man. Oh, was that something? That should be like a sneaky lock or something like that.
    14:57
    I'm going to find that shot. Whoa. Yeah. And I'm telling you, they got the... They have the posts super high, so it's super wide to get to drain.
    15:19
    Blay, I kind of want to see you tilt it just to hear the call out on the tilt. And did they just change the rules? You shouldn't just be getting popcorn from the sideshow.
    15:30
    It could be on tournament mode. It probably is still on tournament mode because this hasn't been really touched since City Champ.
    15:39
    Let's see. I can tilt it. I can tilt it on purpose. I don't have a problem with that. It's totally getting away from me.
    15:56
    Is that supposed to go all the way around like that? I guess so Tell them to turn tournament mode off That might actually be why you can't get sneaky locks and shashas Or ask them Let me ask Matt I can just grab the keys actually And turn it off Hang on Thank you. Bad news.
    17:10
    It's not our machine. It's a different operator's machine, so he has to come in and open it up and do it. Oh, well. I will find out whose machine it is. And it might be... I don't know whose machine it is, actually.
    17:31
    Oh, well. Thanks, guys. Yeah. Dang it. Let's see. Good point on the sneaky... I love that... Yeah. I can't wait to play more of your builds, dude.
    17:52
    But like I said, my V-Pen is out of commission. Just like my game right now. There it is. I want to try it, but I'm spoiled. I can't try it because I don't like playing on anything but my V-Pen. Here it comes. My cab broke currently video park ride. Dude, we're all like hapless right now. So my contactor board broke. It burned. I smelled smoke I literally smelled smoke I was doing something and I forget what I was playing and smoke started happening
    19:10
    And I'm like, and then all the lights work, the lights still work, but none of the feedback happened. So, fire! So, whoa, that Wombaloom saved me.
    19:27
    Keep getting that bone balloon. Get, get. What the? As I was saying. What was I? I forget what I was saying. That was such a bonehead thing to do.
    19:57
    That's not a video. Okay, enough with the random flips. What video card died in it? Yeah, what are you running?
    20:27
    I wonder what video card you're running. I want to put a new video card in mine because I'm using VR a lot. So I want to put a 2070 or something like that in there.
    20:57
    3... 3GB. Wax, my machine is running for like 10 years. This is the first major... That was the first major problem in like 10 years. So I consider myself actually lucky I'd had it in there for four years Oh, playfield pros Okay, got it, thanks Hang on, I'm going to get a kick out And I'll strap up Trapped I had it in there for like four years Yeah to be perfectly honest my malfunction I think was my fault I wasn't running ground the right way my ground wires were a little suspect so the guy who built the board that's in my machine it's from Zebs Boards if you've never been to Zeb's boards it's awesome he makes really cool stuff I was sending pictures back and forth to Zeb and he said try this try this try this and I tried one more thing and that's when I smelled the smoke and he was like oh okay well send it in send it back and I'll take a look at it I think I zapped it yeah Wax I think I zapped it because the ground wire wasn't correct and there was a wire that was broken also and I was like God, I built this 10 years ago. I don't remember how anything works. I don't know how ground wires work anymore.
    23:17
    Anyway, it's on its way to Canada. Zeb's going to take a look at it. He'll probably fix it and return it back to me. It's probably going to cost more to ship it than it is to fix.
    23:26
    Because exposed wires. My wiring back in the day wasn't great. Like, now my wiring is much better, but my wiring back in the day was not great, so... Oh, that was a great skill shot.
    23:48
    That should have grabbed the ball, shouldn't it? I gotta hit a switch, though. So anyway, it's probably my fault. Not that that makes it any better.
    24:02
    I am going to Hawaii next week, so I have no streams next week. So that will kill some time between now and when I get my new board.
    24:15
    Is there like one ball in this machine? Okay, Popcorn Mania. What's a good target to hit? Maybe the spinner?
    24:26
    Or maybe something? Left slingshot rubber, too tight. Kicker's firing. Oh wow. Do you guys see that?
    24:51
    It's firing like, yeah. It's firing for no reason. Well, it's got a reason actually. Or is shooting on the left flip? No, it's shooting on both flips. I think you're right. I think it's too tight. I don't know
    25:15
    Now that rap is so smooth This is definitely set up on tournament. See, it's still firing, even though the flippers were dead. It's hard to figure out all the problems of these machines before I actually play them. I'm just happy to have a circus bowl chair that I can play. This is one of my favorite, I mean favorite looking machines. I'm trying to deep dive into how to actually play it, but...
    26:20
    I cannot lock into that. Aquapass. Yeah, light extra ball. I saw it. Oh my god. Alright. This next game, I'm not going to think about any goals. I'm just going to try and keep the ball on the table.
    27:04
    That sounds like a plan. Where's my skill shot? Alright, that's my side show. It's still firing. It's giving popcorn every single time, so it might be...
    27:40
    That was a nice little accident. Keep going. Get around there. How many more shots to boom actually?
    28:23
    That is a smooth ramp. Smooth as a baby's butt. Oh Bounce and that outlay. Holy smokes I made some progress that bull active at the sideshow It's not a lot of progress.
    29:12
    Walter, Walter, Walter! Alright, let's see if we can shoot up the ramp. Ball save. Thank you. Yes, I know, ramp kick out.
    29:54
    It's definitely tournament settings. Whoa. That was number one, right? One million. Castle destroyed.
    30:31
    Nothing. OMG this game. Is anybody going to ReplayFX? Is anybody going to Pinbird that is here now? Is anybody going this weekend?
    31:07
    Wow. I wonder if they're going to remake this too. That would be nice actually. You know what? That is a great idea actually to remake this. Chicago Gaming is making, remaking, um, something and everybody thinks it's going to be, um, Cactus Canyon. Outlane. Sadly, I had to work. No Pinberg for me.
    31:43
    No Pinberg. Get up there. It still gave me the Aquabats, even though it didn't get all the way up. Got a nice color DMD in there.
    32:10
    Alright. Give me one second, guys. I will be right back. Thank you. Okay, it just feels like this game has full code. You'll benefit from RGB LED and no license issue. I don't bother, I'm not bothered with showing you guys the back glass, but it has this, you know, the cool kind of ball bouncing around and stuff like that. It's pretty neat. Alright, hurt me, hurt me, hurt me. Look at that thing go.
    34:03
    Bang. Nothing. Hi, I'm the rating master. Skip. Oh, you go home. Watch it. I'm not sure if I'm playing it right. It's not your thing. It's COMPLETE TIME! Yeah, it's definitely tournament mode. Everything is the same.
    35:17
    I should be playing Iron Man if I'm gonna do this bad. There it is! I think this goes down nope little little later
    35:57
    No hurry, no hurry, no rush. No woman, no cry. Oh! He actually said that to me? Your mother drives a dump truck?
    36:21
    Honestly, this on Channel 4 just doesn't seem enjoyable. It's so funny, like, I'll come, I'll play like a game.
    36:35
    I'll play a game, I go, oh, it's working, it's working just fine. And then I'll find out, as soon as I start streaming, some horrible setting that I'm stuck with for the rest of the stream.
    36:47
    So, I have two tests. One, does the game physically work okay? And two, is it in tournament mode? Those are the things I need to check before I set the rig up.
    37:01
    But you know what? You gotta learn. By the way, guys, if I was a better player, tournament mode wouldn't really be a factor, I don't think.
    37:18
    I think that's the case. Popcorn Mania. Damn. Sometimes I don't think we'll ever see. I don't think so. I can call some people. They can come and play.
    38:02
    I can call some people and come down and play with me I could probably get Matt to play with me right now He might be able to put up a score
    38:16
    I got two locks laid. Well... Oh, that was cool. I'm not trying to hit those loops. I always do that.
    39:14
    I should ask Matt to come play. Ugh. Nice. Well, you guys won't be missing me next week because I won't be able to stream next week since I'll be in Kauai.
    39:51
    Which is going to be fun. We are going to try and find some pinball while we're out. Ugh! We're going to try and find some pinball while we're out there. And I think we found one place that has like six tables.
    40:08
    I'm not taking streaming gear out there or anything. But, uh... Matt! Come here. Can you play with me one?
    40:23
    I'm sucking. I'm doing... I know, I haven't been good at this game in a little while either. And it's... I think... I think it's got bricks. Walter, how old are you now? It's mail time here at Free Go Watch. We're getting some fresh mail. One of these awesome Uline catalogs that everybody needs. Uline? I can't believe how much paper they waste. Oh my god. Alright, we get those like once every, I don't know, seven days.
    40:57
    Yeah, alright. I kinda like the way it's all lit up with these lights, it's kinda nice. Here we go. Oh, I got myself 8,000 points there.
    41:10
    I don't think it's in a while. Oh my gravy, come on, that's ridiculous. Wow. Was it? Nope. Nope, just a super short ugly ball. That was weak. You always get sideshow, you always get popcorn mania first. Except in tournaments. Yeah, except in tournaments. Yeah. He has to put it back in. I don't have the general key. Also, you know, I was here to text for a minute. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
    41:42
    my viewers are like seeing it I am the ringmaster Oh sneaky! Oh no sneaky! almost got a sneaky there Yeah, no, that's the best you've got.
    42:15
    How about that? Take that! And that! No, I won't stop that! Now eat my ball! Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
    42:34
    That's never a funny joke anymore to me. Like, Funhaus, like yeah put the ball in your mouth. Like Groot, put the ball in your mouth. It's not fun.
    42:43
    It's not. It's... Can't even talk about it. It's not okay. Whose machine is this? This would be operator Greg Creech. Ah, it's Creech. Creech, get in here.
    42:57
    Give me that boom balloon. Oh, what? Boom. One hit. You need 11 hits to light extra ball. I am the ringleader. Whoa, just logged on and all I hear is, eat my ball.
    43:12
    Sorry, sorry, sorry. I was just saying how that's not cool. Ball save. Wow. Got that quick ball save.
    43:30
    He's such a dangerous target to hit, though. Yeah, he is. That's the first time on the stream I did that, exactly. So like one good save, you have to get one good save to get ready to do another. I wonder why the boom pop isn't something used more in modern pins. It's so cool, like lay it flat and then just bring it up when needed. It's kind of a neat idea. There's another pin that does that. There's a special name for that. I forgot what it was called.
    44:09
    Little tap action there. I forgot what I'm even... Do you want your rubber? Oh, that sling is going off a lot. I see. This thing is going off for... I think it might be too tight. Yeah, maybe the rubber's too tight. Come on. Same outlay. Wow. I just got you here to make me look better.
    44:34
    Greetings from Monterey. Obi-John Kenobi. Welcome, my friend. Oh, Outlanes, thank you for the follow. I did not see that a while ago. I was too busy being terrible at this game.
    44:50
    And... Nope. Don't do that. Do that. Monterey. You guys got some great pinball down there, right? Is it down there? Down there.
    45:09
    You guys got great pinball down in Monterey. I'm having multiple jackpots. Jackpot! Jackpot! Jackpot! Oh! I just watched it leave! Alright Matty-Mat. Yeah? Okay. Alright. Block! No! Okay, you got it. You got it. Not again. showing off the flipper skills ahhh
    46:03
    what is acrobat... I know what is acrobat all about? I can get that pretty easy but I don't see what it scores me like acrobat
    46:24
    So I can get an extra ball if I can get enough bones. Boom. You guys can all be on the internet if you play this one. Boom. Oh, not enough. Alright, alright. Okay, I'm not going to try to beat this game, I'm just going to try to beat you. That's going to be my plan. Okay. Oh my gravy. Take it out. Wow. Okay. Let's just go with some easy multi-ball action. And not do that. Any of them. Just like light lock. Just something. And not do that. Any of them. Just like light lock. I'm just saying, anything but that would be awesome. We need to erase this from the internet. We need to be scrubbed. You should see what I've been doing. You want to do another one? Let me go check the chapel, and then I'm going to get ExcitingLotman over here to possibly play with us as well. Sure do. We were just at Cal Extreme in Santa Clara. I remember meeting you guys a couple of years ago in Monterey. Monterey the Monterey pinball group so awesome I got to go down there and play with you guys
    48:03
    let's lock it up lock it up it's gonna kick out again it's not gonna feed feed here Let's go for that second ball lock.
    48:35
    There's a serious Lord of the Rings game going on next to me. Serious players. Come on, that was barely a touch.
    48:53
    My dad's going down. Play our Big Lebowski. Wow, you guys have a Big Lebowski? You want to maybe haul that beautiful Circus Voltaire with you when you visit next?
    49:09
    It is pretty nice. Oh, 90-90. You both got 90. Alright Let's pay the operator That guy's sucking Gotta come to the bow roll This is going straight down the hall I wish This is not my circus I would love to I would do you a solid but not my circus.
    49:49
    I'm trying to figure out what machine I want to buy, actually. Oh yeah, that's super nice. That LLT... Oh, I got 8,000 points, I did nothing.
    50:04
    I got to get the Legolas. Something one more. Okay, got there. 1997 Circus. Yep. 97. The one pop bumper.
    50:43
    I'm gonna do some serious sampling so I'm not gonna play this out. I couldn't get London to get his ugly mug on here either so we have to have him. No. Oh man. Alright. He stopped. Did he really? No he didn't. He did. He stopped. Did he really? I don't think he wants to face on the internet. I think he's trying to hide. I think he's gonna go do some kind of insider trading. Alright. Have you gotten the Neon multiball? No, I haven't gotten very far. The problem right now is that the game is still set in tournament mode. So the posts are super wide and the game is actually very linear. So... and my playing is not terrific, so... It would be better if none of those things were happening right now.
    52:06
    Well, this one's not going up on YouTube, that's for sure. Can you guys even hear me? Alright, what do I need? Wow, what a hop.
    53:12
    You guys want to play this? I'll take it. If I get to the juggler, I'll be happy. Ah, that was bad. Everything scores! 30,000! We're in popcorn!
    54:07
    This made me my best game. I don't want to ruin it though. Finally got juggler lit. Oh and it doesn't keep the ball. That's that tournament mode. Underneath the slingshots, does it have the words Top and Duke?
    54:43
    Let me find out. It does not. Wait. You guys can see my ball spot. It does not. What does that mean if it has the words Pop and Duke underneath it?
    55:25
    Yeah, little small micro taps might help. Like that. So you don't siss out. Alright, where are we? I got my juggler set up, so I want to use my juggler.
    55:37
    Hey, what's that guy? Oh, Papadoo. Okay, okay. There we go. Alright, gotta get it right up there. Eleven more balls.
    56:07
    That's a lot of boom pops. What about near the right end lane? Okay, let me check in a minute. I'll play this multiball out and I'll let you know.
    56:31
    Oh, that's terrible. I got Aragorn. I'm terrible at Aragorn. Got it. Bolt to ball. Alright, I need to get Legolas.
    56:51
    Is there a ball stuck? Okay. Are you going for Aragorn or Legolas? Yeah! Leg pod. Woo! I should have seen that Multi Multi
    57:15
    We got an excited multi-ball over here. Let's see how many multi-balls I can get. Okay. Near the right end lane is a cat pushing dynamite plunger with Joss TNT, Juice TNT on it. Reference to the...
    57:39
    I don't see Juice, though. I just see TNT. Then again, I'm not wearing my glasses. One stuck here.
    57:57
    Yeah. Yeah, I just got locked and stuck everywhere. There we go, found him. Okay, we'll show you over here. What's that guy? I think it's the one from here. Alright, so... Okay, I really need that ramp shot right now.
    58:28
    What do I do? That's what I want. Oh, God. Man, I'm hitting that juggler like mad now. Oops. Fell out.
    58:55
    Let's go for our frenzy. Let's go get our frenzy. Oh, that's not good. I think we have keys to this, so I think we can maybe fix that. Yeah. I couldn't get error going. I thought we were going to get it.
    59:23
    All right. 1 Oh you son of a I'm an old man My high score on this Is like 25 It's not even high This is pathetic But that's my My high score in this is 25 not in tournament mode. Currently we're in tournament mode, so this is my high score, actually. 17.
    60:19
    I think I have like three locks on here ready. Alright, it's almost time for me to leave. So, I'm going to play these out.
    60:41
    I need to hit something safe. Can you post pass? Yes, but you can't get it all the way up. Ah! So high. So close.
    61:11
    I almost got two multi-balls going then. I gotta tell you, anytime I'm playing a game, the game next to me is 20 times louder than the game that I'm playing. I left Lord of the Rings open so people can play it. Loud as F. Loud AF. I got one more, guys. One more, guys. One more in me. Thank you. 18 million, not too bad.
    61:45
    My goal is always to hit that replay score, which is going to be tough right now. Oh, especially doing that. Okay, here we go.
    61:57
    Let's start off and let's get a Ringmaster up. Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky! No, no sneaky. Sorry. Sorry if I offended you with my slight nudge.
    62:27
    Obi-John Kenobi. Oh, bang. It didn't hit a switch? It didn't even hit a switch. Woo. Man. Hold the flips up after the first Ringmaster capture to get the ball off his head sooner. Oh, hold them. Hold them. Oh, I got to try that now. Whacked, you made it. I got to try that now.
    63:09
    I got to play another one just to try that. Yeah, the outlanes are insane because it's tournament mode.
    63:21
    They are pretty wide. Of course if I just hit my shots... If I just hit my shots... Not that shot. I'll try it with the next guy. Maybe I can get the next guy. Hold it! Hold it!
    63:59
    Only the first guy, huh? Okay. I got one more hit on that. Boom, boom, boom. No, no, no, no, no, no! Oh!
    64:27
    Alright, I gotta try one more. What are your thoughts on Stern Jurassic Park? My thoughts right now is that it's amazing.
    64:59
    I can't wait to play it. I can't wait to try it. It looks... You know... So, yeah, Keith Elwin hit a home run with Iron Maiden. It was a terrific game.
    65:13
    I don't think... Generally speaking, like, until you flip a game, you won't know how it is. So... I'm not going to automatically give Keith Elwin a pass just because he made an amazing first game. If he gets a... He starts to become like a designer who's consistently making great tables. And there you go. That being said, it looks amazing. It looks super fun.
    65:41
    If they put it on stage at Pemberg, we'll know how corrupt Stern is. Ooh. All right. That being said, I want to play it. I really want to play it.
    65:55
    It even looks like something that I would want to own. So, there you go. Alright. Let's get... Ah, that was an extra flip.
    66:12
    Boom. Okay, ready? And... Hold him. That seemed a little faster. That only seemed a little faster last. I heard they're bringing six. Yeah, six pros and one premium. That's what I heard too. Six pros, one premium.
    66:39
    But Wax, what are you saying? If they put it on the stage at Pimbera, what does it mean if they put it on the stage?
    66:48
    What are those long-sleeved shirts hanging behind you? Come on down and buy yourself a pre-gold watch or...
    67:04
    Random Japanese anyone? Actually, when I'm done with this game, I'll show you guys some more t-shirts that are pretty cool. I'm having a custom jacket made. I'm having a custom pre-gold watch and an MPT3K jacket made here.
    67:27
    Oh boy. Because apparently I wear t-shirts better than I play pinball. Get up there. One save. One loss.
    68:04
    The stage is the 10 machines that will be used for the top 20. Tell me it's fair having Jurassic Park up there when you know Elwynn will make the top 20.
    68:18
    Wax, you have just made watching the final stage very interesting. Very interesting. Wow. Well, I will be watching from Hawaii.
    68:35
    But you just made it very, very interesting to see what happens there. I don't think it's going to be on the stage.
    68:45
    Then again, I don't have a record of knowing this stuff. I don't really know. That's doing no good. That's doing me no good.
    69:14
    I desperately want to get it out of that corner. Thank you. It's starting to get a little crowded here so I might need to be leaving soon. Because I am holding up Wizard of Oz. Alright, that's it. I'll show you guys some t-shirts real quick. Let me find one or two.

    71:24
    I should start doing contests like this and then sending shirts to people, right? That would be cool.
    71:31
    And these are hoodies. They also come as shirts. Let me see if I can find one more. Oh, okay. Okay, got two more.
    71:54
    Yeah, it's based on... Yeah. Steamboat Willie has been destroying our copyright laws for years, for decades.
    72:03
    Check it. So this is what I always see the guys walk wearing. This is for San Francisco Pinball Department. And you should see these in Pinnberg for guys in Pinnberg. It's pretty cool, right? And finally, this is going to be on the back of my shirt, my jacket when it's done. This is like a ball deluxe. And then I'm going to have my MPT3K logo up front. And it's a jacket that's like this. This is an Adidas jacket, but it's like I'm making an Adidas style jacket with this on the back and my logo on the front.
    73:11
