Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was the main dragon's name, right? His name was Toothless, but also his fin was messed up or something.
0:13
I don't want Demidog! Doug Demidog! I thought it was Game of Thrones. How to train your Game of Thrones. Speaking of drunk in an alley I needs a BR I'm sorry A Battle Royale It wasn't him I did that on purpose You can put a time stamp Oh I see what you're saying Yeah yeah yeah That's true Toothless was the plot of Game of Thrones Wait.
0:58
Live catch. Jim Dimmesdale of the Dimmesdale Dimmedome. This is Doug Dimmedog. Okay, that was a stupid flip.
1:11
All right, we've got every mode like one shot away, but we are not effing with this stupid upside down.
1:23
The Dimmesdale Dimmedog. Easy. there, buddy. That should have started a mode. Okay, every single mode is one shot away.
1:37
So this is exactly where you want to be. When you finish a mode, it's one shot to get right into another. Alright, so we're going to start left to right.
1:48
Our multi-ball isn't lit, so we're just going to roll with it. Let's see if we can nail this shot, and we do.
1:56
The spinner moves that shot and I hate it. What? I shot at it. What the f-? Hello? Alright, we're gonna play this out. We're gonna have an extra ball by the time we get to our next node anyway. Let's go baby. Thanks, Dad. Why you no flip?
2:31
Extra ball? No, do you have to do three modes? Okay, maybe it's trace modes. Don't flip. Flip. Are you shitting me? Sorry for yelling, that was really loud.
2:49
Are you? Oh my god. Tell me about it. Tell her about it. Barb? We have so many things lit. Why you no flip?
3:08
Get in there. Where is Barb? Hey, Tommy. Can I... Did you see Barb? Wait, what? She's a reward. So you can see what I'm talking about? I don't even know what you're talking about.
3:20
Oh, the viewing party? Just DM me. I'd like to know what your... I can't look at anything. Do you flip, bro? I tried.
3:37
Oh, come on, game. There it is. Go, go, go. It keeps falling off the ramp, which is real weird.
3:54
There we go. Is that two? You can't figure out what the map image is? Hold on, let me make this last shot.
4:17
So that's the Barb slug coming out of her mouth. Barb turns into the slug. What's up 50 quid? Alright, I'm wondering what the video mode will be. I don't think there will be. I think that's just a troll on the map.
4:34
That's just a troll award. They've been doing those since Deadpool. Alright, so I think starting this next mode is going to light our extra ball. Next season they will bring Barb turned back into a human. Oh, that'd be fun.
4:54
Come on, buddy. Come on. Just come on. Fine. I mean, that works. There we go. An extra ball is lit. So that'll fix our one ball issue there.
5:20
There's the extra ball. We're going to get through this mode together, ladies and gentlemen. There are three of us. My kids go by Tenpence and Newpence. Yeah.
5:38
Add a ball. Okay, I would love for you to shoot the far left orbit. There you go.
5:56
And it's done. Okay, now let's get some burn it backs going here. If we can get fudging control of the ball.
6:14
Extra balls mean more to me than points right now, so... We're going to want to shoot this shot a lot. Badass shot making this wall? Thanks, KV. I have my moments.
6:28
There we go. Okay, live. Super jackpot action. There we go. We've got to be close. Oh, you screwed each other.
7:03
All right. So we got one shot up the right ramp, and then we're done with all the modes going into total isolation. And thankfully, we got ourselves an extra ball. All right. Three more burn it back shots to light another extra ball. What's up, GRVO?
7:20
All right. Let's take a little drink break here for a second. All right. Wait, what are we doing tomorrow? Oh, the theme thing. Got it. You'll burn it during also. Wait, you'll burn it during also. Yes. Wait, what?
7:42
There's one. Play three modes to light extra ball. Yeah, we've already played three modes and gotten our extra ball. Why are you telling me this?
7:55
Light extra ball. How sick would it be if we got light extra ball, too? Any trip to the grocery store with your DMCA shirt? I absolutely need to stop doing... I keep forgetting that I'm wearing this shirt, which is hilarious. So trap them actually wouldn't be a bad idea right now either Because that'll be uh, oh we got the upside down rolling Shit State
8:39
I'm sorry, did we just get another upside down? Hold on. I thought upside down was just running. Wasn't it?
9:03
Could have sworn. Don't know if that's the early stream, but are the ramp projections fully coded? I don't think so. I don't know, but there's not a lot of information up there, so I honestly am not sure.
9:20
So that... Thankfully, we started multiball. Oh my god. So one more burn it back, and we should have another extra ball.
9:31
Hell yeah. Let's go. So I didn't want the extra ball, or the multiball just then, but it actually did save our hide, so we'll take it.
9:47
I do it only for progression, ladies and gentlemen. I play for progression. I wanted that ball to come back, and it didn't.
9:55
Okay, I want... Okay, stop getting in the way. Oh my god. Game, if I don't get this extra ball, there's going to be hell to pay.
10:06
There it is. Are you shh? Alright, we're going to start total isolation then, I guess. How do I get this ball to the right flipper?
10:20
Um. We can try the... Well, we ain't doing that again. Don't screw me. Oh! All right, I'm taking too many chances here without trapping up.
10:46
Was that a trap pass? Yo, we out here. Trap passing. Okay, you can backhand during total isolation because the TK lock doesn't try to come up. I thought the TK lock did want to come up.
11:07
There it is. It was slop but we got it So now we back to negative one ball so ball So that huge We back to negative one
11:35
Ooh, a whole bonus, too. I would love the bullshit mode right now, by the way. I mean, I always want the bullshit, but right now it would be pretty great with all these balls a-flappin'. There it is.
12:06
Balls a-flappin'. What? One of you can't fall into that little saucer? History is lit. Fam. I like my E.B.'s like I like my Joe. Slap it. I'm warmed up to this pin since the initial release. Yeah, this game I felt like was a pretty slow burn, but it's definitely coming along pretty well.
12:37
Old Man Christmas, thank you for the bits, Mar, dude. Mystery award. Bullshit. I hear bullshit. Bullshit.
13:09
Bullshit. welcome aboard kid I'll be right with you hold on I need to hit want that I need to hit that right there uh yo cask tapper thank you for two months buddy ladies and gentlemen flippers and butts up Okay, we had to take a little shotgun blast there.
13:49
Bullshit mode goes well with total isolation. Yeah, because you can't hear anything but the bullshit.
14:01
Bullshit. so much bullshit mode goes well with anything burn it back oh that was bullshit that was actually bullshit though
14:26
alright how many burn it backs do I need now bullshit mode 14 million modes yeah we gotta go modes bull and not that good type all right hold on let's see if uh come on show me the all right here we go 32 more okay do we have any locks crap i skipped over it we don't have any locks all right i call bullshit really it sounds like bullshit to me
15:17
the lock is lit Nancy where are you I see space for a pin for now get me out big slaps what do you got more bullshit light extra ball start chapter mo wait but I'm in a mode Hold on. What?
16:07
Am I going to be right in another mode once I get out of this? That was kind of a waste of a mystery. That sucks.
16:15
That was a little bullshit. Alright, so the second Demogorgon is ready, which is good because that's a multi-ball. think you got just kind of okay none of that bullshit oh don't start we made it so far without triggering a dummy a demidog
16:41
holy crap that slap save oh no okay I'm beating I'm I'm bullying the game at this Pinball Princess, what's up?
16:54
That was a weird shot. Stay up there! Oh! In Soviet Russia, game matches you! Another extra ball. Don't mind if I do-do-do-do.
17:38
So I think we have three extra balls now. So, unless we're absolute morons. we should see the second total isolation.
18:02
Jack really likes it when there's extra balls. I do. I love as many balls in play as possible. We're not going to use the Demi-Gorgon right now. How much time do we have? 25?
18:20
These modes are kind of rough because you can't... Like, where's the progression meter? How do you know where you're at?
18:30
17. Oh, does this keep counting? 15, 14, 13. Oh, I'm waiting this out. I'm going to take a drink. What's the max playfield X score? I think you can only beat 2X playfield.
18:50
All right, now we're going to start one of these modes here on the right. And then, oh, nice, and both of them are one shot away. So we're going to start a mode, start the Demi Gorgon, which is going to give us a 2X multiball.
19:06
Or a 2-ball multiball. Okay, we almost fumbled the crap out of that twice. Holy sh... That save was gross!
19:32
Okay, so we're going to burn this kid real quick. And remember, we don't have to necessarily finish these modes, but it'll help if we're trying to get to Final Showdown, the main wizard mode, which we certainly have never done. Okay, I would like to burn that kid, please.
19:57
Okay, go away. Go away. No one likes me. How are we going to do this? 16 seconds. Can we make this shot?
20:13
Hell yeah, we can. Completed. All right. Now, if we hit light lock right there, shoot the right ramp to start a mode, shoot the left ramp for multiball. More upside down. Don't fall prey, Internet, don't fall prey. Okay, there, multiball's ready. Let's not accidentally start it. I trusted that bounce too much. Sorry. That was my bad. I trusted it too much.
20:50
But, one shot, one kill. We're good. We just need the ball to be on the left flipper. Fudge, indeed. That was a sick bonus, though, yeah?
21:11
Alright, I suck at this shot. Let's go. Are you fucking kidding me? Easy there, buddy. Okay, let's try that again.
21:27
133 million bonus, right? There it is. Let's go. We're going to burn it back a little bit, see if we can get another extra ball lit. I think it said we need a 32.
21:49
I don't care about the points. I want that extra ball. I'm leaning over like a freaking hermit. We don't have to finish the mode, but it would be nice.
22:09
22 more. Okay, we're not getting this. 22 more. I kind of wish that didn't just waste on that. So, we would like to control a ball on the right flipper if we exit this multiball.
22:41
Get up there, dog. We gonna have like 2x ready to go Oh you screwed my trap Mystery is lit Okay we good
23:00
Total isolation number two. Deadflip you can add a ball by tapping SOS in the lock bar. Shut up. Oh my god. Okay. I love you buddy alright come on wrist don't let me down this shit hurts alright here's the big change is here total isolation 2 so I think it's unlimited balls and we just got 2x playfield I'm not entirely certain how it works Is that what's happening? Is it unlimited ball save and we're just flipping?
24:03
The sounds are kind of crazy Okay, you screwed each other, you screwed each other. Add a ball, nailed it. It'd be great if it added more time. Having a third ball is just gonna make it more complicated to make shots.
24:50
I love that he calls it the left out lane ball save even though it has a name. More time would be great.
25:14
So, from what I'm seeing, we need to complete two more orange modes, so these two. And then complete two more yellow modes over here. Then we'll send it back and light the fire.
25:38
Complete Demi-Gorgon and Demo-Dog. And then we're on to Final Showdown. Oh, man. So, here we go. And we're dead.
26:01
It's the final shot of... So, does Dart not evolve anymore? Is that where Dart stops? They're stupid.
26:25
Dart... Oh, it stops at demo dog form? That's a bummer. Couldn't slap it, but that mode's done. That mode's done. Get it out of here.
26:41
I wonder how many burn it backs we need now. Let's check our burn it back meter. Burn it back a meter.
26:52
11 more. Minus 8 more EBs to go? No, we're not that far. We only need 11. That's actually not terrible.
27:01
bullshit mode light extra ball i don't want this i guess i could use this for uh burn it backs you're right you're right you didn't say it but We were all thinking it.
27:34
Why would it give me that? Man, I don't know, dude. Mystery is literally not using it for what I want to use it for.
27:50
Okay. Well, that's over. You're going to kill me. Not me. mystery award left out lane ball save is lit fuck there it is I was actually trying to hit that whoa it came like that oh man it requires a crap load of weirdness to light the next multiball.
28:37
Shit. That ball's gone. Sorry, internet. Ooh, we got it. Suck a butt. Sexy cheat. The ball came back on its own.
28:49
Ball came back on its own. It wasn't me. Alright, so if we start one more mode, it should start a It should light another extra ball. It's every three modes.
29:04
Nine more. Burn it back. Oh, my God. Okay, here we go. Joy Spires can't find us out in this moment. It's probably just playing with... It's probably just playing hooky. There's no junk on the Demogorgons. How do they take a leak? Through their mouths?
29:29
One million. Mystery is lit. Operation Merkin? One million. Nine, eight, seven. Six. A cloche is something that covers a dish. Oh my god, if Dart could evolve more, dude, he'd be a full Demorg again right now. Okay, okay.
30:07
Holy shards. Yo, thanks, ItHasPockets. Thank you for half a year, buddy! Love ya. Ooh, add time. Don't want it.
30:20
We're gonna let this time out. Alright. I have 74 seconds. hard pass bro hard freaking pass five more to light extra ball what ball are we on two if I drain we're done with the mode that's the quickest way to complete the mode so we're just gonna do it
30:55
All right, that mode's done. So, is that total isolation three? Okay. Let's see if we can get control of this ball.
31:11
I hate Operation... Oh, do not fuck that again. Do not fuck me with this plunge, dude. Tom Foolery, what's up, baby? Okay.
31:34
Send it back, wizard mode! This is new. Give me the 2x playfield. 2x? I don't care about anything. Give me the points. We found the objective. I would love to get that 2x right there. Oh, it's over now, baby. You screwed. so we should have like one more burn it back until we have uh our extra ball
32:38
shoot it in the mouth Oh, that's right. They added a... a health bar for people that have trouble with their Demogorgon's mouth.
33:04
Very good. We beat the wizard mode. We got send it back. I've never seen that light. Keep shooting. So once we complete this lane over here, we're going to get another wizard mode called light the fire.
33:34
I need a minute. Hold on. and I believe we're like one or two shots away from another extra ball welcome aboard kid oh my god 50 quid thank you buddy and DK DK7 thank you for 19 months in a row you're amazing ladies and gentlemen flippers and butts up welcome aboard kid all right short plunge oh is there like validation on this game i suck at pinball don you fucking do it
34:27
Ah, Yoko, thanks for the hundred biddies, buddy! Brains to mush. Alright, we don't want to shoot the mystery because we don't want demo dogs. one shot for EB alright we could backhand this do you think we could backhand this shot oh so close
34:55
extra ball is lit Tomfoolery thanks for the biddies my dude let's freaking go boys ladies gentlemen we're about to destroy this machine see even the noise was like uh I'm timing this out if it'll let me. My heart rate's at max? Yeah, I'm like, I'm palpitating, bro.
35:37
Okay, we're timing this out. I'm palpitating. How long have we been live? 50 quid, thanks for the 100 bitties, my dude. Shit got serious when that last wizard mode started? Yeah.
36:05
Bro, do you even palpitate? Aw. 2.45? Alright. Wow. I wonder if it's going to give me a dollar amount for what we did in that mode. we got a hundred thousand points all right one shot look at that demo dog done internet there there's a real i'm not even gonna say it i'm not even gonna say it not even gonna say it because i'm gonna miss this shot Yo, Dries Gola, thank you for 10 months in a row, you're amazing Ladies and gentlemen, flippers and butts up Take your puny hole So that's ball lock one Get up there.
37:29
I wonder how many shots. 49 for the next. We do need to get through our Demogorgons. And that's a nice, safe way to put it around. Oh, you couldn't have gone up there, huh?
37:48
We're not starting the Demogorgon. I can't do that right now. What's a safe shot? That ain't it, chief. Fuck. Well.
38:03
I wonder if it's going to go right into the wizard mode. Oh, I get to shoot it. We're good. It's going to light the left ramp.
38:11
I have another extra ball. Okay, let's not waste any time. Shit. Wait, is Light the Fire even a wizard mode? I don't think it's programmed yet.
38:42
I think it just gave it to us because it's not programmed. It literally just gave it to us. It was like a shop. That was it.
39:03
It gave you total points? Oh, sick. It gave you 30 million? Not bad. Okay, we got one more Demogorgon to kill.
39:28
Oh my god, that spin the ball had on it. Holy shit. Sorry for swearing. Get it out of my face. We gotta finish two more Demogorgons to have the main wizard mode.
39:51
We gotta finish these next two Demogorgons. And we don't want to start Demodogs. the main, the super main wizard mode, yeah I'm trying to sneak it behind these drop targets without having to hit them I could do it from the left there it is
40:31
All right, come on, baby. All right, sneak it in. Sneak it in. That ain't sneaking it in. This ain't it, chief. Okay, here we go.
40:59
Shit. Oh, it caught the lip. Don't you do it to me, Dad. This is another multiball, by the way, so we're gonna have some time to, like, relax.
41:12
Depending we can start it, because we gotta... This shit ain't easy. Alright. Clean catch. Fuck. Sorry, Internet, I didn't mean to swear. Oh, don't. Not like this. Not like this, please.
41:53
So we don't even have to play this. We could just drain. I'm not really sweating the points. I just want the progression here.
42:02
Although some burn it backs would be nice. Lighting spell protection was pretty huge. So let's put a... I don't even know where I want to shoot from, because we've got to shoot the stupid drop targets.
42:18
Oh, you can light... Hold on, we can light our locks for multiple? Okay, that's huge. I don't think we can make lock shots, though, can we?
42:36
Oh, shh. Wait, why are they lighting up and then... I'm confused. Come on, don't screw me. stop snarfing the ball bro add a ball during unlimited multi-ball right like if I could put this ball in this dude's mouth right now we'd be we'd be gold but I can't find the shot so we're I'm actually just gonna drain one of these mystery's not gonna give me anything and we probably need like an infinite amount of burn it backs right so get out of my face it's like a mini putt putt shot alright let me see we gotta start can't stop this is gonna be a lot of shots to very dangerous drop targets.
43:55
And I don't think we're anywhere near an extra ball. I'm just waiting for instant info. One ball locked. Forty... Okay.
44:08
The best way to do this is to start a multi-ball. Ball two locked. Can you do... What the hell? Can you clip that game? The game was as confused as I was.
44:37
Enter your initials. All Mad Christmas, thank you. That was huge. we were so close to final showdown Driscollad this is for you buddy and this name is probably going to stay up here for a while I looked away for two seconds the game plunged into the out lane when I locked a ball
45:15
It plunged for me. That's pretty cool. Highest score I ever got? 1.4? I don't know. 1.4 is pretty... 107 combos.
45:30
Pretty McCracken, thank you. Holy crud, that was huge. Remind me tomorrow to look at 2 hours and 55 minutes for the best game of the night. Hello, YouTube! Done.
