Okay, good. Wrecked him. Damn near killed him. Alright. oh that was a gearbox that stopped that already okay we gotta be conscious of the one warning that we got and shook the crap out of the cameras
13:21
we're gonna find them Will's booty was a fake. That slap save? Holy half. Mystery is lit. Did he call him toothless? That's cute.
13:52
I want a three amigos pinball. All right. So we got three modes to finish and we're still in ball one forehead.
14:16
Everything's essentially lit, which is incredible. We just need to not drain. We can take the mystery award. The only pin I've ever come close to jack score is Sorcerer's Lair in the Zen Timbal. Get it, dude.
14:34
Scores are different for every machine, so it does... Oh, word of habit. This ball's gonna drain. Shit.
14:46
There we go. Extra ball! Suck a duck! I never nudge because it's so hard to do on mobile. Now it's got to build up a dope-ass bonus.
15:07
Football one. Turn around and look at what you see in your face. Okay, I didn't want that. You effing forehead.
15:22
It forced me to have double spark. Dude, that feed is a little dirty. I nailed that, so... There you go.
15:49
Mystery is lit. Oh, come on. I can't forget, we're not in love anymore Oh shit Get up there You cockadoo Stop doing that I won't though
16:22
Oh, come off. All right, so that mode's done. Remember, don't drain unless you're in a mode. So we just got to shoot the left orbit and then we're on to total isolation numero dos. Holy frick, that was fast.
16:59
Yo, dog, that mystery was lit, dog. God damn it. I hate that I can't post fast on this game. That's two. Oh, we found her. Internet. We found Barb right away. One shot. Total isolation is now lit. And we're not supposed to be in a multiball. I think it let go of a ball before it was supposed to.
17:32
Alright, here's total isolation number two. I'm just going to hold this ball. JK. These noises are cuckoo!
18:06
This is the reward. it sounds like an old Atari game mystery burn it back lit? hell yeah give it to me baby
18:38
Okay, we're getting some locks, some lock keys. Hard to shoot my shots when all the balls are in the way. There we go. Got it, got it. That was it two times. And we put it away. Let's find another one. All right, we did it. Missed it. Must want another one? Alright, we did it. Missed you this lit. 2x playfield here would be pretty clutch. Or klooch, as they call it. It'd be so klooch right now, Brute.
19:26
Okay, there's 2x ready for us. We just need a ball to fall in there. There it is. Mystery reward. Dude, the shotgun blast saves that I'm doing are pretty wild. We still have another ball in the playfield, right? Somewhere?
20:03
No? Okay, we're good. Sick ball control, super klutch. So klutch, dude. Okay that going to be lock three Uh let me check here
20:21
Hard to hit many shots. One ball is lit. Oh, locked? Okay, let's lock another. That's two. One percenter problems? I wish I was a one percenter. I'm more like a twelve percenter. Just the way I like my booze.
20:41
Oh. Mystery is lit. Bam. Alright, Dart, you're looking pretty good. Dart, looking good. Still have 2x going. Oh, multi-ball.
21:00
Stay the fuck... It screwed us. If this ball drains, I'm firing everyone at Stern. You're not allowed to have a job anywhere.
21:23
You'll leave with 14 months in a row, you amazing ladies and gentlemen. Flippers and butts up. Mystery.
21:57
Jackpot. Let's get some burn it backs going here. There you go. Okay, let's trap up. I said trap up. Mystery is lit.
22:17
That ball's gone with the wind. All right, so you weren't a chief. Okay. Is there a third total isolation? I don't know. Man, we haven't done Demo Dog or completed a Demogorgon.
22:37
And you only get the completion by... Is it defeating all the Demogorgons, or is it by putting the ball in a Demogorgon's mouth? Give me bullshit, give me bullshit, give me bullshit.
22:48
Wait, uh, okay, forehead. I'm fine with that because locking balls at this point is difficult. Having played two multiballs. it will always look like goats. Yeah, it's a little goatee.
23:11
Lock is lit. A second? Lock? Damn. Wait a second. Oh, it said lock a ball but all it did was light the lock.
23:23
That was kind of bullshit. We got Scamazd. It said lock lit. Oh. It said lock a ball. This game's out here. Scamazin.
23:43
Sclamiel. Scamazin. Austin Pepper Incorporated. The Vernon Trilley pinball win. We're gonna flip it. On your mark, get set, and go now. Gonna flip the ball, you know now. We'll make your pinball dreams come true. And we'll flip it our way, yes, our way.
24:07
Please don't drain. Oh, gross. Okay, we're close to a third. Isoleo, you farting ass. Cheek. I wish we were in a mode before we drain that for the progression.
24:29
All I care about is progressions, dude. Ball saved. Ball shaved. A 6x bonus is going to be a big guy.
24:43
Wait, we've already drained that, though. Take your puny home Take your puny hole. I hate the left and right on this.
25:00
Take your puny hole. This will not time out, right? Okay, it won't. That's the second lock. Take your puny hole is my stage name. True.
25:20
We want to finish it, though. Because we need to finish everything for Final Showdown. Mystery is lit. Who's Batman?
25:40
751,300 points. That's lit. that save was sick alright it is up alright there's our third total license wait we didn't finish all the wait we didn't finish all the modes oh is this like burn it back or some shit okay I wish there was a way to get the ball to should we try to backhand it I don't like this internet
26:15
I don't like this Oh, this wizard mode's hilarious because it just gives you points. They made it a mode now.
26:25
Oh, it does something now. We're just putting balls in the holes, dude. I kind of like this just shoot the one teal hole
27:01
okay now I have to shoot demodog targets I guess Nice stroke Okay, frick The flipper's died Had a bone I got 200 million points for that?
27:54
That was a lot of money. Hey, YouTube. Weird end of the mode. So what that means is we completed all of our yellow modes, which is great.
28:08
And, bite the fire's lit. We have not successfully played a Demo Dog mode, and we have not successfully played a Demo Gorgon. Welcome aboard, kid.
28:26
Welcome aboard, kid. Stay up there. Yeah, baby. Is that a mode with a multiball? Oh, who was that? Yo, Beard is life. Thanks for three months. But hey, thank you, Beard.
28:48
So monster hunting is the best mode to have during a multivolve because you just bash the targets and shoot up the middle, and then the mode is completed just like that.
28:58
So now we're one mode away from... Send it back to the other wizard mode. And then all we've got to do is successfully play a Demogorgon and a Demodog.
29:11
Which we have not. The fact that those are what we have left to do is kind of sad. Check. Have infinity train?
29:32
Infinity train. Is it an anime? Sounds like an anime. Is that like dinosaur train? You need to get the fifth Demogorgon mode. Can't stop this. Oh, that's how you get it? Okay.
29:58
I really wish that multiball didn't waste that shot just then. Okay, so we need some Demogorgon love is what you're saying.
30:13
So we'll shoot through the middle. Let get this mode going Nancy Where are you Mystery. Dinosaur train. Hold boners again, man.
30:36
Threat the needle. Oh, I thought I was going to get that. Where are you? Did I hit that shot and it just didn't... I'm not gonna... That's done. That mode's done.
30:57
I should have finished that. God damn it. Is that 200 million bonus on the back end? Okay. Alright, so this is the wizard mode. Send it back.
31:13
Let's try to get the ball on the right flipper. That is... Whoa, it jumped over. I think I can backhand this. Shit.
31:30
Why chance it, Jack? It's house ball time, Internet. So that was one warning. We gotta keep in mind. We have one warning.
31:48
fudge me dude game go up the ramp jack invented pinball i did what would you say your pin skill level is um i'm i'm a but not s does that make sense i'm an a but i'm not s i'm an a tier not s tier
32:18
If we're going like fighting game rules. Oh, this mode is tough because doesn't it make you... the final mode, you need to shoot it into the Demogorgon's mouth.
32:51
The final shot. If all I gotta do is break that opto, man, we're living the dream right now. Alright, so... We could do a Demogorgon attack. We gotta knock some of these drop targets out. Hopefully cleanly.
33:21
Oh, please. Okay, we didn't get enough to sneak it in, so we gotta knock the U. Mystery is lit, shit.
33:37
We gotta clear instead of... Okay, that's good. Right through the middle. Okay, that didn't work. Breathe.
33:58
It didn't go in. Okay, it's lit. That went in. Run, Will. You're close to S tier I'm close I guess Mystery award You gonna hold my bonus again? I'd love to get an extra ball from y'all that would be great.
34:42
Twelve more? Oh, I might focus on fart. Okay, never mind. Okay, so we need to get this last demogorgon.
34:54
God damn it. This came up. How many balls in the machine? Maybe six, I'm guessing. The standard stern six.
35:05
There's the creep in. Can we do it again? Fuck. You're gonna tilt. Wait. Why did my telekinesis and fire... Okay, we're good.
35:35
Don't do it to me game. Is Can't Stop This a wizard mode? Let's start the Demogorgon. It's a tarp! Alright, so there's the Demogorgon light.
36:01
I think you can make progress on your Demogorgon. While you're in this. Ugh, I hate shooting these fucking drops, dude.
36:21
I think one more shot through the middle. There it is. Alright, here we go. Final showdown is lit, ladies and gentlemen.
36:48
So once we're done in this... I would love to get just an assload of burn effects right now to secure myself an extra ball.
37:02
How many more do we need? 10 more maybe? Oh, fuck. That's right. The last shot is putting a ball in his mouth.
37:21
So we'll just shotgun blast it up there and see if anything pops off. Oh, it's time! Okay. Eight. Seven. Six. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. Time's up.
37:52
Okay, killed the flippers. Hopefully these all drain properly. Don't screw me. Please don't screw me.
38:03
I don't like being in this position. Ball three. No extra balls. One shot and you have to go off the Stranger Things plunge. Which can drain right off the nut.
38:31
Just need that left ramp, baby. Here we go. With 2X scoring, imagine. With double scoring. Wait.
39:02
Wait. Wait! We got... That was the hardest debate in pinball. I don't even want to say... Enter your initials. Beard life, congratulations.
39:59
Man, that's pretty cool. Imagine your butthole being this tight and then when you hit the shot, it opens to the size of a watermelon.
40:27
You match it.
