on tilts stranger things lunch party so we'll run this heads up like they're always here are almost always here it's uh at Ace Gogi uh we're going over just some last minute to rules here it looks like and I gotta fix that camera I see now um we have five goals for this heads-up challenge we have defeated dimmer Gorgon start a chapter starting demo dog attack start telekinesis multiball and finally a two minute drill so we'll go over the quick tutorials while we're getting set up here take a look at these the bracket for finals can be found at chalange.com on tiltst all right that was a an additional beyond that tutorial you have to actually defeat the demogorgon that starts it you have to defeat it so there is also to start that there you've got to hit that multiple times so and the first time you've got to hit it uh clear the bank twice but if you get if you clear two drop targets and then shoot it up behind it actually counts as clearing the full drops right you got to get that three times right and apologies for any drop frames we are on a Cellular Connection today and it is pretty bad and the local Wi-Fi unfortunately is not uh cutting it either you guys are ready [Music] all right our first challenge has been chosen our first two competitors are David Oliver versus Michael Oren and they're getting ready here I think we're gonna start a telekinesis multiball challenge so that is this challenge and this is best of three so these uh players have to win two games and then they're moved to losers bracket or if they if they lose it's a double elimination bracket and I'll throw that up here very soon and unfortunately I did not update the standings on stream elements so I will have to type it in Tom slash on tilt St that should get you there all right so we can look at the back quickly here we go David picked the uh the challenge here so he picked that he wants to go with multiball and Michael got choice of which machine he wanted all right let me get this going ready all right three two one go and our first match is underway so when trying to start this multiball right away it's really key to just use that ball saver time oh yeah hitting those stand-up targets now the ball the games are set to five ball and the players are also to restart allowed to restart the game at any time not that you want to run this goal I believe but uh yeah other goals that may be advantageous to restart the game if you fail initially David is got his locks lit he just needs to lock his balls right Michael still needs that left side of the uh stand up there to life a lot he's having trouble finding that shot that's uh this target right here David not find the the ramp that looks like I will say from my experience it's a lot easier to hit from a backhand and he's got it it is I agree I agree yeah both of these these machines play a little differently yes you know so one has the backhand a little later than the other correct yep all right so now it's Michael's Choice he gets choice of game if he wants to switch machines or what goal to choose so Michael chose started chapter mode and we're going to be starting this on the left orbit this one and David went ahead and picked the switch machines wasn't feeling the machine was on so players have to coin up themselves for these challenges yeah which is a good point when we talk about that they can restart the game you can hold start button to restart you have to re-coin up after that right two one go all right so this should be a quick challenge there's three quick left orbits of course the nerves are in play yeah having been in these finals before um I know uh it gives you that whole hurry up feeling of like oh I gotta go I gotta go I gotta go exactly and you have to calm down you have to forget about that you need to just take your time don't worry about what the other players do and that's it that's it all right David wins 2-0 and we'll move on yep to the next match ROMs versus Bob Rob Bob all right rob you have you're the high speed choice of goal or game you won the game on the right all right Rob chose the game on the right so you get to choose the goal all right we're going for Less orbits again same boat Bob's still going to drain that ball or hold the start he's got a ball yeah all right they're both ready to go there we go three two one go all right so once again both are going for that left orbit Bob hits it on right away Bob's got two he's feeling pretty confident Rob's caught up with one and there we go all right Bob got it that game what what going Bob I can't do it you can't do chapter mode that was already done start telekinesis multi-bomb multiball all right these are these are the same goals we saw last game yep it seems like I can see why people are picking that orbit shot yeah it's an easier shot yep three two one go 's trying to find that backhand shot Rob still hasn't gotten the second target for the lock here [Music] and again on this five ball game just go for it pretend you have a ball safe there's no reason not to this game you can skip the animations quickly you can skip the bonus quickly all right Bob's got one ball locked so he's one shot ahead of Rob boy we have this uh spam bot again huh Let's uh let's get rid of this bam botton chat here what s up uh that cable's not gonna go that far it's not gonna go that far okay you gotta scoot in over there so that that position don't swap with go where Raymond is that's where you should be no Ray I need your chair man I need your chair take that chair and give me this shirt Derek and Joe right ramp mode [Music] yeah just do a quick restart hold down the button yeah hold it down hold it down all right ready to go we're going for the right ramp on this chapter mode challenge are you ready so if you're not familiar with the game in general um starting a mode on this uh game requires you to make three shots uh to any of the four targets the left Loop the right the left orbit right orbit left ramp or right ramp and then you got to make it three times Derek's got two ready to go he just needs one more shot to finish this kind of Trapped up oh Christmas this is when the pressure gets on the first I don't know I kind of think I'm just gonna pick the demo dog mode you know I'd like to see it I want to see someone pick that just try and get the the G Target over on the far right we'll play the demon dog uh if that ever happens we'll play the tutorial all right Derek's got this one all right Joe Gameworks or gold the demo dog attack all right we got it let me uh show this so this is dim the dog attack here's the tutorial for demo dog attacks probably the most complicated of the the options here within this look at these videos Carl beautiful did you see the intro video we got Shane joined us on I I did see you I tried to share it but it was too big so yeah so you have to spell out demo dog with all of these stand-up targets including one which you can't hit directly from why would he pick this and then also this will make a shot after that simple yeah all right I mean I would say the logic to pick this when I would pick this is if you're not super comfortable with the shots in the game does it give you a chance to kind of flail about a little bit all right ready three two one go all right we also have a five minute limit on these challenges and this one could potentially take that long did you set the games to five balls yes the games are set to five ball all right so so far Joe has the D lit in his demo dog uh actually he's got a few now he's got uh oh there's a can you get demo dog letters during multiball I don't know oh that hurts him a little bit just by having that demo Gorgon up so he did the smart thing and just drained yeah because there are two demo is this touchdown I thought no it's not I can do it though uh there are two Targets hidden behind the drop targets that you need to get for demo dog yeah you can see Derek has one of them right there our lovely Mouse drawings Derek's got the harder one he's got the he's got the G he did that is the hardest one what's he got left here oh just the the first this one right here on the left um Joe's struggling a bit here he's getting a lot of them all right Derek's got a lid here now he's got to make one shot which is just that's it it did it all right nice job sir 2-0 Brian and David um Brian your high scene Game or goal but I felt like I was close on the second one nowhere near you were close which game do you want we are playing start chapter right round star traps are right ramp all right so the way this is going to work with a bracket is we're going to go all the way through the women's bracket and then we'll do the losers bracket after this Okay so we've got these eight matches and then four then two then one and then we'll move on after that so Michael Rob Joe will all have to sit and wait for us to finish right this top seed top seed was David Oliver all right right Ram all right for David was it right rampant what that's it three rooms three right Rams just starting the mode Brian two for Brian he may have left oh we are ready first one to get this next one all right this gives uh David just needs control all right boom oh we got the upside down does it you have to drain out because you can't start a mode during no you still can't you just can't it's just the lights are under there okay yeah so that's actually something David wasn't aware of that would have helped him is to to still go for that shot oh my gosh freaking these shots faster all right here we got a shot here nope nope ah my goodness the nerves have kicked in yep all right all right that was close that was good let's go Lord which machine do you want telekinesis all right David chooses multiball and they are switching machines here I should start thinking about what I want to pick because I'm coming up here thanks everyone for tuning in to the on tilt stranger things lawn party ready two one go all right so this is five shots literally it's hit those two Targets the two lock targets and then three shots to the left ramp that's it it's David's so simple it does it does David's already lit his his lock yep Brian even though he's hitting the ramp he's not doing anything yeah he's missing he's starting modes but he's not hitting there he goes all right David trying to backhand the ramp he unfortunately misses it the two machines definitely have a different backhand yes David gets it on the on the straight shot though oh a second one there one shot left for David here he's gonna try and let it bounce over and go for it there you go he's got a lot is it lit yeah he's on he's on his he's already got two lock too so he just needs one more in there let's go Lord that came from Brian Mrs how many balls Brian have lit our luck two two I believe no that's two right there there's David David did it all right there's demogor again okay this is defeat the demogorgon and they must actually finish it which has made a lot easier with the code update that happened yesterday right you don't need to get it inside the Denmark organ yeah you can now bash it they haven't seen a single person today get inside the demographics close but no no no you weren't yeah it's like I said not a single person so how many bashes it takes to defeat five and I don't know if that gets higher with uh as you get further in but the first ones would you study before today one if by studying you mean read the release notes for the patch yeah never all right so you have to hit those drop targets yep or at least clear enough to get in behind them which count is all of them [Music] now we were talking if you fail this demogorgon mode you might be better off starting a brand new game yeah so what do you mean yeah I mean if you started now so uh uh Brian has started it if he were to drain here without killing it he is better off starting an entirely new game and why is that because it's more hits to start the next one exactly so you're actually spelling things out if you remember stranger things there was the uh the run will which was spelled out in the lights in the in the show the first demogorgon you're spelling out run will Ryan needs one more hit and he drains so he is and hopefully he knows he's better off going because now he would have to spell will look out which is actually three complete sets gotcha all right so now Dave this is David's chance to come back David looks like he's got a couple bashes in already uh that yellow bar he's got one bash left to kill the demogorgon here boom right here boom and that'll do it that's it David's got it [Applause] tough love here tough love who's up next we have Raymond Marcus all right start the left orbit mode start the left orbit chapter did uh Raymond pick the machine or pick the Raymond pick the machine machine okay I might do the same I'm feeling that right machine the right machine was the one that was at West Hills just brought that back yesterday yeah Raymond chose the the left the machines are reversed on the screen here ah okay a lot of people choosing this left machine I wonder what's surprising to me three two one go start chapter which is you said left or he chose so we're uh one of the options they can pick for the competition is to start a chapter but they also get to pick which trap do they start oh okay uh and Dalton in the chat yes we have a list of five goals for them to choose from this one is uh picking a chapter and Which chapter to start there's also telekinesis multiball there is kill the demogorgon uh there is demo dog mode and then two minute warning two minute drill so two minutes to get the highest score one shot one shot and then Raymond gets it all right all right Marcus chooses the switch machine I wonder why is there any bad choice here there's not right that I found not really ready ready three two one go all right so they are bashing those drop targets so every drop Target adds a letter to the will run including the exclamation point so you basically need eight drops correct sounds like you're starting to like this game Carl no I I'm not talking about that opinions about the game are not going to be announced yeah so here's a good example of where um uh Marcus actually didn't knock the last drop tiger down instead he shot behind it up into the shot which counts as knocking it down got it it will knock any of them if there were three up and he makes it sneak past it it will take count as all three all right so Raven's in his run right now he's got it so yeah he's already got two and you can see there's a yellow bar in the middle uh of the screen for his score right here yep that is actually the hit points basically of that demogorgon so you can see now it's down to one shot left in that I mean register the other way to do it is get it in its mouth right on the first shot you get in the mountains all right Raymond's got it oh that means I gotta go play 2-0 all right let me get your all right the next match as said it's Matt row bottom or commentator versus Hall Salem that's the high seed here moving along move it along and move it closer all right so Matt's choosing here match uses the right machine Paul [Music] I know there's ads on challenge now there weren't ads until on before their ads on the on the export integration now there is yeah but I just saw the chat things demand uh all right right ramp mode or right right orbit right three two one go right orbit right orbit so both Matt and Paul are members of The League here at Ace God the on tilts leave yes and we are three shots the right orbit yep three shots of right orbit that's it they've got one and both of them have one in all getting a shot right there and misses I'm not trying to post fast it's uh the post passes were not that friendly on these games I found and the right or it's not really in orbit either because it goes into a set of pops up here so when it comes up here it goes around and then it comes back down the same Lane all right there's two for maps and he just lit the upside down so what's the best thing to do with that well he's saying that the mode will actually start even if it shoots okay yep that's it all right all right he got it stay in that machine your chasing goals sorry for all the screaming everyone multiball all right telekinesis multiball [Music] robot has done his homework he has he studied the the yeah because I feel like many people didn't know when they start the upside down you can still complete the uh yeah Matt's uh getting serious big time anyways he's really yeah digging in ready three two one go all right just two little targets two Targets to the side of the ramp and they shoot the ramp three times and you're done like one of those times you always hit the uh ramp when you want to hit the targets yeah it's like a Metallica when you want to hit the picks instead of uh you know for your atom ball yep I always shoot the ramps instead neither player has lit their lock yet Matt's the juggling with the ball and ball drains so it's not looking so good the games are seven to five balls so yeah not the end of the world there we go you play yet Carl no I'm uh two games away from this all right there's one lock commands Paul still unable to find that left Target so Paul starts the defeat the demogorg and what happens with the ball locks is it still carry over he has to wait and time that out I believe they're still there they just don't light up what do you think of that I don't like it all right we have one more lock for and Matt's got it all right that's it matters look at that beast mode he's on fire all right next match is Ron Resendez versus Steve Pendle right orbit mode right orbit mode right or remote I am a little surprised I respect that all right no one has chosen too many drill yet normally that's one of the first things people choose all right I think with this one the the two minutes a little different because there is that getting almost random upside down and it's not random these are set on tournament mode but since they're not linked together they're not going to have the exact same number of switches between the two of them all right three shots to complete this challenge right orbit right orbit start chapter ready [Music] Shane why aren't you playing on this how'd you how'd you end up doing man I wasn't watching your record [ __ ] the bed oh man please start it off all right it's okay all right I'd rather sit here with you and talk about playing instead of playing you can uh tell yourself that if you want it's because you're here when you're not here I qualify when you show up I never qualified okay I won't come anymore all right all right uh Steve's got one shot left Well Ron has not made a single one of the Sharks yet which one are they going for the right or the right orbit yeah right orbits Ron's in danger too because that shot with that right ramp that he's hit twice if he accidentally hits that again he will start that mode if he needs to then he must drain the drain must drain yeah how much time this past like 15 minutes yeah so again on well upside down is going as you saw while I was playing you can still light the mode you can still do everything right you just don't see what you're doing Ron just got it yep nice comeback Ron yeah nice comeback [Applause] I haven't gone to that place yet found one of the fridge all right they're switching machines there we go thank you just wanted to sneeze on these uh fancy headsets yeah thanks soil them ready three two one go [Music] sh Macho pen Moses bless you brother oh thank you man Have you listened to Macho pinball yet no what's wrong what's not your pinball uh he's doing podcasts three minutes uh all right Ron's got one locked Steve's got locked slit now there's his first lock for Steve all right so we're tied exactly will not reveal his identity really really the podcast they talk like Macho Man if you're not getting that that's a lock two I believe for Steve right yeah so if Ron were to start to defeat the demogorgon he can still lock the balls right even though they won't be late yeah he can just ignore the demo Gordon because he's still got a little I wonder if they will change that I hope not because demogorgon kind of gets in the way I hope not because there it is Steve all right they've got it Steve handle all right matcha with the bit too all right I'm everywhere Ron it's your choice right you just won that one right no we just did multiple you can't choose the same challenge two minute drill so two minutes to get the highest all right let's see we haven't seen this one do you want thank you all right I will give it a five second countdown before you start okay five four three two one go okay so uh so Carl what's your strategy on this one it's in a two minute uh multiball let's go for multi double or if I get lucky and get upside down you could go for the uh Papa versions it seems to yeah because you can get 30 million on that easily I feel like you were timing that out on League though like uh two weeks ago yeah I don't want to play it but in this format you want to play it Ron appears to be going for the demogorgons yep which is a it's worth five million I believe and then it's the new rule is that it's worth less if you do it through bashing if you get it in one shot in the mouth it's worth more and so you definitely want to get it in the mouth get it in one shot and then no one gets it in the mountains sometimes Carl if you're lucky also uh oh Steve is just praying for a uh upside down upside down although I don't know if I it probably won't come because the Democracy exactly it will not come on so he just wants to get there kind of a steep handle Fanboy right now guys this would be an extra time to start a mode perhaps I don't know the values of the mode some are worth one million oh Ron just got the uh yeah that's that's unless Steve gets this Steve's gonna be done I'll call it right here yeah that upside down just throws that away oh stupid I feel like a competition mode let's check that out don't you think well yeah mentioned the two but it didn't happen you can talk through the programmers over at Stern about that Carl's moving up to actually play now Carl see you man you want me to step in here [Applause] Carl doesn't want anybody touch his stuff so Carl's picking the left machine Lucas got to decide which challenge why does everyone just like that left machine I don't know that means of the uh I personally fishing is the one that yeah the uh when it comes down out of the left side but people seem to like it all right all right so again it's not just get into it it's defeated are you guys ready so you can either get it in the mouth or you can find get it in the mouth or hit it five times okay sounds like a fair trade three two one go and they're off Carl's already got his first set down he spelled will which you can see on the screen he's working on his second side he's got the second set down all he needs is uh oh all right Luca's now caught up with one set down and working on his second set all right Carl's got it down all he needs to do is get it in the shot both of them do both are starting their demogorgons he's got one got four shots left to go I think Carl may get it in the mouth let's see we'll see if he can get it in the mouth oh he tried there gross he tried oh so now is a situation where his better he and it's exactly what he's going to do better pointing up and restarting than trying to get three sets of drops I feel like that's actually a good element to this is that if you want to start over you have to coin up and get all stressed out and try to do it all right so Luke is down to two shots left which would get it oh but he is tilting tilt oh that's gonna start him all over anyways and it's a case of does he knows so he's re-coining up and he's gonna restart the game [Music] Carl is back to where he was all right he's got a lit one more up and there we go let's see what he can do he's got five shots or one in the mouth this is fun in the mouth in the mouth in the mouth Carl did it in the mouth in the mouth Carl's definitely an in the mouth kind of guy I I mean you know Carl is going to pick he's gonna he's gonna put the tutorial up for it start chapter this is the right orbit he said right orbit the start oh left orbit left orbit left orbit okay left orbit left orbits three shots into the left orbit one all right Lucas got one shot oh Carl's got one foreign 's up to two already and he could get it right here oh he's gonna let it bounce over did Luca get it [Applause] all right Carl's chosen back to go back to the other machine it's a lot of gun these guys got here all right telekinesis multiball where'd you get this what do you get a gun pack like that thousand pieces inside Carl chose telekinesis Carl chose to go back to the other machine he wanted that left machine again three two one go sorry I forgot my responsibilities there sorry man I got you all right so both are okay so Luca has the locks lit now he just needs to lock three balls Carl now has his lock lit so if you like the first lock and then you just continue to hit the drop targets will you continually light the first second third lock and then you can just over and over yeah it will uh stack locks however the first set of multiball you don't have to light that each for each block you only have to light it once and then all three calls got two locks right now I believe so and it looks like that doesn't that'll be Carl all right Python Anghelo rage gentlemen [Applause] thank you [Applause] really always this format respect man yeah so calling uh Matt and I were talking about how you got in the mouth from the first one I'm sure you were and then uh the second one I you kind of it's okay we're not talking about great job on the third where did you get this magnificent pack of gum it has like a thousand pieces Amazon that sells them in bulk really yeah yeah I've never seen that before amazing all right our next match don't go that way okay David Oliver versus Bob Matthews let's hope uh these two don't start playing come on take care of it David don't dare me David your gamer or goal bottom those noodles man multiball whiskey which smells so good they taste wonderful I got my mic away from my mouth so that people don't have to hear me chew all right David chose multiball Bob Joe's machine [Applause] so Bob is wearing the uh original first the very first launch party shirt that we ever did official unofficial Ghostbusters you get your own noodles now well that's just right one let's go and a low calorie cider it's a good chaser it's a casual drink Carl you should try that no no I'm good right now I appreciate that I really do I'm sure you do maleko trying to get Carl drunk thank you for the sub I always appreciated using your Twitch Prime sub on on my channel what does that mean it means they're subscribing to my channel uh I get a cut of the uh of the subscription that's exciting and they get some cool benefits so how they do which work people can give you money they can donate bits they can subscribe to the channel um and they if they subscribe they get the emote which right now is the Johnny plague okay Canada gave like 250 bucks to check dangerous Bob has it I saw Bob [Applause] is a Great Hero all right Missy I will agree with that Bob is a special character and he has a uniform cargo pants and the gloves David has chosen to defeat the Denver organ and they are staying on the same machines you chose the left machine as well right I did which is right on the what's the reason though I prefer how that one plays over the other one really really okay hello TR Brad thank you for the bits [Music] what do those do donations basically okay so they can subscribe to the channel which is like a monthly or they can do bits which is like here's a little extra tick foreign kill the demogorgon right correct insane thank you for running these These are this format to me is is one of the best it's so much fun I feel like we've done our best to keep it going man I feel like they did it started early on then they kind of stopped and then they did it another time and then the uh and David just drained out of his democrine so he is going to restart his game right now but it's definitely a fun format yeah so every year it does run one but they never stream it right it's never been straight except for the one eye I streamed in Vegas with them right nah it's fun uh and I in my opinion this is the format that would work for non-people right right yeah and like you said yourself you're an amazing plane you came back and your hands were shaking you're excited it's it's quick the uh and yeah it's easy to explain you could do it in in 20 30 seconds right teach someone a goal all right the tgp for this tournament here will be 100 we have eight rounds of match play before starting this double elimination bracket [Music] so this is actually a valuable tournament we have how many players do we have 64. 64. so we actually max out because that's the uh we have 16 play we have 16 games back here and actually that whole back wall actually held up nothing went down today you're right and Bob has defeated the demogor again all right Bob takes the match you're right they're 18 back here but not one game went down no everything played really well especially on that back wall because there's some games that are definitely prone to falling apart if you're near uh LA and you you want to come play some really great rare games come check out Ace right now there's a whole wall of some really good ones yep last night we put in uh well xenon's been here we put in the Cyclops which is a game plan uh Quicksilver Starlight which is the Prototype Starlight uh and Andromeda and Cheeto as well as all the others so we have right ramp mode for this challenge chosen by their combo pinball thank you for the bits thank you for the bits how do I give you bits you have to have a Twitch account you have to have bits in your account and you you give them in the chat one thing you can do though if you have Amazon Prime if you do a Twitch account you can link your Amazon Prime by twitch or owned by Amazon owns twitch yep so and and What it lets you do is you get one free sub per month what's that so subscribe someone subscription so normally a subscription is five dollars but if you have twit if you have Prime Amazon Prime you get one free subscription every month so it's nice but you have to re-up it manually yeah so I go in and I subscribe to Carl's Channel thank you Carl I'm gonna donate I wish I knew what it's called again fits I want to give you a lot of bits this week all right I've been streaming a lot lately you've been doing a lot of fun stuff you've been going for Wizard modes in different games I ever love the Rings I'm gonna bring in soon oh yeah yeah nice my favorite game it really is I know that well I thought Pirates are your favorite game pirates is one of my favorite games what's your third favorite game Carl uh good question because I don't have bigger things bro yeah stranger things yep that's it you got it Dave just not finding that right ramp he's found the uh that right orbit shot but had trouble with the right ramp it drains out both players having trouble finding the ramp and I will say this game like if you don't have it dialed in those ramps are both hard because of the stand-ups on either side I am Tito at the moment so did Derek start him up no uh no he didn't I thought he had but he did it earlier yeah start the right orbit mode yeah Dave just cannot find that ramp it is a hard shot I would say that's probably for me one of the harder shots in the game all right right now in general yeah let's go all right multiball in there switching machines machines I feel like the right one actually plays I'm surprised I like the left one more I like the right one I think it's a personal well this is nice this is but the left one is the one that's been here the whole time and I just brought the right one back two days ago a little more how do I say uh stiff I feel okay yeah that's it's kind of hard to describe but I found you could put 10 games in here all 10 will play different oh yeah yeah of course of course they're both swing I want to miss the ramp I want to miss the ramp I want to miss the ramp lotr Brett says he hates Lord of the Rings what does that mean those are 10 bits time three yeah depending on the number of bits you've done that you had different icons something like that I don't like Lord of the Rings for tournament unless it's an if well I shouldn't say that I did like it in okay I got that I haven't looked no already closer you didn't read what I read so the name of the experience oh something else oh I didn't see that then Dave's got two balls locked right uh no Derek just got the number of modes yeah I think Dave only needed one more I think so too I think yeah yes he probably was making those mode shots at the same time oh no that means I have to go up against Raymond now okay well the ramp pop-up ball stop thing fly out on this that's a good question a little break I don't know find out continue watching the Ricky room all right Raymond Ashby versus Matt's robotum they're trying she chose machines Matt is choosing mode or I mean goal right kill the demogorian kill the demogorgon defeat the demogorgon all right how's everyone enjoying this format is it good I would love to run a giant Championship with this format I'd love the furthest front to be televised that's just that's my that's this is the one format like I said earlier all right ready three so do you guys have all four job targets down or just get it behind you you have to drop all the targets down and then do it again because you need eight letters you need to spell will run which is here on the screen Mattis spelled it he drains but that's okay it's lit he's gonna have to knock down some drop targets to get behind it Raymond has two letters left in an exclamation point yes the exclamation point counts all right he's got the lids Raymond starts and needs five hits to defeat it or get it in the mouth where do you have to get him as you can say it's all you want oh and Raymond drains out he reaches for his pocket to get some quarters too recoing up and start over all right it actually makes more sense to coin up a few credits especially since you know you're gonna play anyways well you might be switching games ah you're right all right Matt's uh two shots away I believe one shot away Matt takes the goal [Applause] Matt's gotten super seriously he has I know [Music] Raymond's picking the same machine again so it's Matt's choice for goal race staring robot him down right now Dart multiball so we need to run the championship of this just nothing but this format I know it's hard to do because you just gotta push the right people man yeah you got to get games and not you I'm not talking to you we need to borrow against people like once I had a pair uh I did this on paradigm phenomenal let's do it ready three two one go we're doing this on Rick and Morty I don't know what we're gonna do on the uh objectives well we'll figure it out I'll watch that stream and see what's uh well it's gonna be a while April 4th April 4th but we'll have the games well not this week right yeah I mean you'll have when you know you've got a lot of time yes we have a lot of time to figure it out the code will evolve so I'm sure by then there will be more ghosts it is I can already see two or three Golds I was very excited about watching it today that was very very fun oh did Matt make that okay yeah that was quick Raymond got that one wow that was fast all right bro bottoms choice now is Matt the only person that has done a uh on tilt tattoo dimmadog start demo I'm gonna I'm gonna run the tutorial real quick just so uh anyway that uh has just joined us knows what to do in this one double dog attack is kind of the I think it's the most complicated one just because there's so many targets you have to hit all seven of these and that g on the right you cannot directly hit you have to hope for a rebound from something [Music] so once you hit all seven letters you shoot it up that lane to start demigod symbol dog attack [Music] ready ready three two one go [Music] [Applause] well players kind of letting the ball go around just trying to there are two Targets behind the drop targets that you have to get so you want to really knock down the two middle drops and then shoot it behind there if you knock down all four they're gonna reset and come back up okay so Raymond now has both of the letters behind the drop targets she has the D on the left Matt is behind but Matt has the hardest one the G the G on the right hand side that you have to rant oh where'd my mouse go are you circling it randomly get into it so in my opinion because of that Matt is in the lead right now he's having trouble getting behind the um behind the Drop Zone framing with a nice nudge to save the ball oh he got him you got the mo all right so he's got Matt has three letters left these two and then the one right here yeah and apologies for the horrible Mouse uh whiteboard here I uh forgot a piece of equipment at home which is why we don't have the touchscreen all right Raymond just needs that one last Target the G the hardest one in the game where's one right here you cannot hit it on purpose it has to rebound no he I mean that looked like if any shot could have been that way Matt's got one more too he's got the e Matt just needs the the D the first letter in demo dog now oh and Raymond gets that final letter just need to shoot it up the lane and he starts it that's it Ray's feeling pressure clean with that fresh shave today it's got his headphones in I didn't put the this is start demo dog attack it's close man good job I feel no shame losing to Raymond two not one you are not eliminated this is a double elimination tournament so everyone gets two chances very true all right now it's uh Ron Resendez versus myself I will see you guys later all right we're gonna go into right orbit starter mode so we've got the three shots to the right orbit which is gonna let uh Carl pick machine he's going with the left machines ready three two one go [Music] Ron with the shot right away they're going for the right orbit it's a it's a trick one of the trickier ones to start a mode because it does go up and sit up in the pop bumpers it seems for a while as opposed to like that left orbit where it kind of Loops back around it's one of the easier ones so again Carl is in uh upside down but he is still collecting progress oh he just can't see it nope [ __ ] got it Carl's gonna choose to stay on the same machine and it looks like Ron is picking all right you guys ready three two one go all right here we go back from that demogorgon looks like Ron's already got one shot in on it I feel like Carl's gonna get in the mouth going straight for the mouse that's you know he's just that kind of guy yep all right Ron's down to one shot left Carl really needs to get it in the mouth here that's gonna do it for Iran because he picked that left machine Carl is that why yep so you picked the right machine you would have got it in the mouth right away no no no it just needs to be redesigned in general oh yeah How's that gonna happen [Applause] now we're gonna keep we're gonna finish the winners ready ready three two one go all right this is right ramp chapter three shots to the right ramp both players grading out on ball one and with no progress you can hear the bell in the background from the Cyclops yes which is incredible yeah all right there's uh Bob is ahead by one shot now he needs one more Derek yeah he needs to he took a quick look over he's tried to backhand it he's uh he's trying to rush oh Bob's got it I've got it right demo dog demo dog attack demo dog attack demo dog you need to know how to do it progress I have no idea I have no idea we're locked out about this dog [Music] honestly I had I had fun playing this one oh I think it's a guitar what's the final chart final shot is hitting the where's the dark attack up and uh yeah so it's just to the left of the stand-ups yeah yep um that does three things one if your mystery is lit which is what you get with the in-lane note Lanes uh to cash in mystery two if you got demo dog lit it'll be demo dog and the third one I can't remember what this is ready which one three two one go so again you just joined us we are at uh Ace Yogi for the on tilt stranger things launch party we have to start saying Ace Yogi East now we do you know that's right ace go get very nice you're right there's a second Ace Gogi now over in West Hills yes sir Como pinball thank you for the subscription Shane's given thumbs up to the screen too all right so Derek I I okay they both have the Hard Knock yeah Derek tilting out of uh something there yeah Bob is getting pretty close here he needs the uh well no he needs to eat it Derek is closer Derek just needs one Target and the okay one shot right right exactly you gotta alley pass so bossy upside down but the shots are still counting right the shot's still coming you just can't see them Bob only needs the two Targets that are behind the drop there again there we go Walk Away We are one one best of three Bob sticks with the same machine Derek has choice of gold remaining our demogorgon or two minute drill I think everyone's afraid of the two minute drill because of the upside down because you never know who's gonna get it or when you're gonna get it that's that's definitely I I considered it for a second and that's what I thought I was like ah so if you're against someone that you don't think you're going to beat you picked two minutes drill and that's I I honestly probably should have done against Raymond is uh telekinesis all right we're doing multiball [Music] all right final match for these two for the winners bracket ready three two one go Derek I can't I don't know what ball walk that was okay we have two for Mom I think Derek might already have two yeah because he's got two modes so as long as he didn't have it there we go I've got two out of three mom got two out of three I thought that was second one all right who's up next Raymond versus Ron you're the high c [Music] yeah your choice all right wrong Raymond has chosen machine so what Raymond chose left machine so you can try some gold what's that right orbit mode right orbit mode is this a I think it's Ron's favorite [Music] start the chapter on the right Orbit on the uh what are those I can't see from here uh these slingshot symbols I think they're the slingshot oh he's a slingshot yep so they're ready right orbits ready three one go orbit should be in uh quotations since it's not really an orbit yeah that's and that's the thing with this is the right side is an interesting choice because it doesn't feed back it in fact puts it into pop bumpers where it stalls for a while and you can get stuck up there for a while yep now there's a little bit of luck in this one in regular play the pop bumpers that shot is also how you change which mode You're Gonna Get Right all right we're tied right now yep Ron's got two yeah and there it is dang Ron loves that orbit Ron is uh yeah he likes that down right machine left on screen right over in that mode yep Raymond's gonna think about it here I don't recognize Raymond with the with this thing right yeah it's all clean so again this is spelling will run by him to drop targets we fight the demogorgon and Ron has it lift already Raymond is just one target away I believe yes but you all right I just let them both we both got it lit Ron cannot get control of the ball to be able to shoot up the middle at the moment [Music] there you go Ray's got it open yep so five shots without draining so that's a he's coining up again so it's an easy up and Ron that's okay because he didn't start his demographic yeah he has it ready he'll still have it ready on his next fall but already got this will lit wrong set Ron just cannot find the center right now this definitely goes back to what we're saying earlier about that whole pressure and slowing down and going okay I'm gonna take my time and actually aim my shots Raymond now all right raise your outlet again come on right Focus boom all right raise back into it now let's see if he let's hope he doesn't pray in this time all right as well so now I have a feeling get in the mouth right now right here boom [Music] we are neck and neck both have the same number of hits Ron is ahead now there you go Ray Boom oh that was close one more oh boy this is tight and Ron gets it run just gets it so close wow rate completed twice and almost got him right now close super close I'm gonna move this down oh not that much that was Raymond and Ron 2-0 so is it Ray versus Bob now and it is Ron versus Bob and Ron is the high C let's throw that over here come on come on there we go essentially whoever wins this was guaranteed either first or second correct correct the other person will be fighting for third and four all right ranches is Right orbit um it makes the mistake in my opinion and chooses the left machine when Ron's been dominating the right machine on this goal that would require people to pay attention to that stuff um obviously Bob's not paying attention to that all right they're getting more quarters I'm okay with that yeah how's everyone doing out there Andre massacres number one fan dominating him that's a good question mark why aren't you here all your buddies are here but you Valentine's day was yesterday you can't blame it on that all right right orbit chapter ready go all right let's see if Ron can take this for the third time Ron's got that right orbit dialed yeah now he just needs to come out of the pop then you saw exactly why I don't think this is a good choice because of how long it stayed in the price there yeah hey Bob James if that's okay all right Bob gets his first right orbit all right so we're neck and neck now all right right yep Bob is ahead all right Bob's dialed let's see it hopefully he realizes he can still go for this with the upside down lit I believe he does yeah he knows Bob knows the rules again oh all right yep Ron chooses to beat the demogorgon Bob machine stand on the same machine ready three two one go all right defeat the demogorgon Bob goes for the right orbit uh Ron hits that scoop and that scoop I think is actually okay even though it delays the ball of it but it always hits those two right drop targets it does but uh I think where one thing you got to pay attention to on this mode is making sure you do a full plunge yes because you'll hit at least two of those drop targets right off of that so Bob has his demogorgon see if he can survive five solid hit does not want to drain nice nice nudge there too keep them all alive Ron starts it he's just a little bit behind but he could always hit it in a single shot you're right or Bob could miss a bunch he can catch up and Ron has caught up just about Bob needs one more shot Bob's dialed let's go Bob Bob struggling at the moment they are neck and neck now Ron gets it wrong takes it it's one one now one one all right Bob your choice stay in that machine what goal would you like Ron two minute drill all right I haven't seen that one I gotta pull this up here pull my timer up I need to start this out of six because I forgot it doesn't hold on why won't this do this stop give me that go down go up one there we go all right are you ready I'll give you a five second countdown five three two one go all right two minutes to get the highest score normally I actually really like this in the in this format but the upside down is just yeah this game just right well if you want that upside down shoot the right orbit get the pops because it seems to be switches so go that right orbit and and when you're playing when they're set on competition mode and you're playing against people in a league format or on the same machine it will be the number same number of switch hits for each person you don't know how many it is right in this case since the games aren't Linked UP it could be you can link them no no you take them but he's just saying that yeah the games don't know how many the other one are so one could be 20 and the other one fifty right so Bob going for the dimmick organ unfortunately he fails there I don't know if the difficult is enough points really I'd say start a mode it's kind of wrist versus reward with those Center shots it's light the lock and go to that multiball well because you're gonna start the mode automatically right exactly because you shoot the ram three times look at the mode and the multiball uh if I knew the modes better you know because some of the modes score a lot of points some of them are a million a shot somewhere 250 000. yep so Ron defeats this by hitting it he'll get 5 million for that which is the head of one oh Bob's got the upside down right now Bob can just a big points right here oh One Missed he doesn't know yellow oh hey hey he's gonna hurry up it's gonna be gone but before he gets the ball still points all right Bob still got 14 million on the board now Ron has to hope he gets the upside down I think at this point yeah he just that's really awesome switches just Hit Switches there it is oh and he drained it nine eight seven six five four three two one hands off all right Bob's game yep Bob wins Ronald right at the end there lid is upside down why don't you take one of these games home and uh stream it it's not come figure it out it's not complete if it was complete I might take you up on that all right we're now moving to the losers brackets first round Michael Oren versus Rob klug Rob Rob you're up you and your buddy Universe Michael all right Rob you're the high C so you can choices so which machine do you want so you're on that one demo dog attack chosen by Rockford yeah double the limb we wouldn't we ran this as a single limb for a while yeah but uh I think that's cruel because just you make it all this way and then you're and then you're limited out of the right yeah I agree I like this Steve Daniels I do not see your subscription thank you for your sub just saw that all right we're getting more quarters here yeah I agree I like the four men I like that uh you know because a match play type format where we're doing points would take so long to get through Michael's shirt is a little on the edge for the ifpa uh guidelines I believe oh you can't talk in the machine yeah you've been muted why you turn me off man well you're you're covering we had a dishwasher issue it's fixed now I think are there guidelines on a wardrobe there there are guidelines on appropriate stuff yes wardrobe and a language and so we can get cards I don't know right here it's wearing Lively ready start demo dog attack all right three two one go frisbee disease thank you Clump your feelings I would I would approve that but then that that word would be in the dictionary here and then I'd have it all over the place but yes all right Rob has gotten the as I've said the hardest letter the G already right there because people doesn't like it right now come on go away whiteboard [Music] Michael brings the demogorgon down which is I would disastrous yeah I was definitely great get rid of that thing no worries frisbees I'm actually kind of surprised that word got through the uh through the log through the filter no you did not give a dog not demogorgon Rob thinks he's already got the goal and he has knots who picked this mode rod and he's got it wrong yes nice no you didn't I dude oh it's spelled sorry oh he does have a lid I didn't realize that's okay Carl oh yeah he just needs to get this [ __ ] he just needs to hit the shot did he may not know he needs to hit that show oh come on he I don't think he knows Josh Rob we'll just tell him after well yeah I mean we kind of clearly said where's he coming right you can ask questions upstairs just having fun just flipping can't what I mean I know don't listen to people it's fine no they're they're trying to say uh don't uh so what happens he drained oh that's fine he's still going to hit that one shot yeah same with Michael Michael's got a lit too he just needs to hit that one shot the one shot right right up this Lane except without the Kirby line and they're both having trouble well I don't think I don't think either of the north of hoax they're doing they do Michael is going for that shot yeah I think Rob I think he's thinks he's got to re-light the demo dog he's re-lighting every letter but he's already lit the one he's shooting at over yeah he doesn't know he needs to shoot the single shot all right all right Michael got it you wanna tell him nose or he knows or tell him I think it's worth it he's explaining it right now yeah you have to shoot the shot [Music] well you started the demogorg and you thought demogorgon was it when it's demo dog he's trying to blame you yeah of course oh yeah why are pin guys all the same well it's your fault that I I lost against Raymond I know it is it's all my fault all nine faults Carl that didn't qualify yep yep keep going all right rob you get choice of goal or game voice call I know what I'm missing beer you want anything oh I have thank you Rob says uh ball lock which is start multiball 100 blame bits Steve you know what's funny is I have these tutorials and anyone can ask me at any time before the game starts what they're supposed to do should you make sure so he doesn't blame you again for this one I don't care oh ready three two one go who's that frisbees I'd actually don't know who it is in real life and I don't know what a lot of people's um real names are they said Steve I thought you might like yesterday right here yeah that's not Steve kid no that's not that's not excuse me if that's who you're thinking of no he lives right by me and I I haven't seen him and I had him over for pirates and that was remember that yeah it's a phenomenal player I mean he's really a good player he just sold this Star Wars Pro to somebody in league and I told him I was like best of luck trying to beat any of those scores well they wiped out of the score no he didn't no he did he told me yeah okay yeah I was like yeah come on he's like oh I don't I don't think so I'm like yeah good luck he's trying to be the top scorers when you buy games right chat if you buy a game from someone you do not wipe out the scores at least leave the GC well you can't just swipe out can you I think you can your score was in uh uh fishtails until I put an Envy Ram in it it's fine it's like a four battery holder and only had three in there and I just figured might as well do it because I had it bad oh I did that had a few issues anyway so might as well fix it I think this is it all right Michael's got it a couple of burnt connectors next match come on challenge why do you keep moving on me Joe versus Brian Brian's a high seed here Trail this one all right we are doing a two minute drill everybody hates on that right game I understand why maybe that's why you're not the it's actually worked out well for me I know I don't have to waste my pick uh ghost Hammer IPA that's getting replaced with uh Vikings I'm gonna give you a five second countdown you both ready all right let's see what they do see if they do what we thought go for these orbit and the upside down and it does not look like it yeah you can almost just although your first minute going for that but Brian's going for multiball that's a solid strategy I think so and maybe maybe Joe is too yeah it looks like it because I think you could within two minutes you should be able to pull off a Super Jackpot yeah it's close but you should do it don't go for the demogorg it's kind of flail and don't try to trap up and be real cautious about the shots Brian from San Diego Joe a member of The League here all right Joe's looks like he's going for his uh it does indeed if you can nail it in the mouth it's 10 million it's a lot of money for putting in the mouth oh and then Brian though just got uh he's got the upside upside down but he shot through it so he he lost a bit there still has quite a bit from it though Joe still has the potential of getting there too Joe really needs that upside down it's like that too many drills like the worst thing you pick with that upside down situation yeah with this game yeah unless you're planning to get someone you you feel like you have no chance against so you know if I play against Carl I might just stick that you have a chance 30 seconds that's what's great about this format I I think anyone for sure with some skills can't succeed in this absolutely goodness gracious oh come on Joe take your time no rush one or two shots so wrapped up I forgot to give them the 10 second countdown sorry you didn't do anything wrong that was close I mean yeah a single shot at full value would have been enough demo dog attack do you understand you both understand it right yeah all right building up the credits restarting the games Joe looks a little confused at the moment wires hands up yeah you had it I mean it was like right there okay ready three two one go all right this is spell all seven letters in demo dog they're scattered around the Playfield tour behind the drop targets one on the the two on the left-hand side three on the right hand side and the g that they both have gotten already on you know with a rebound is the only way you can get that letter you cannot shoot it directly like Joe really could have won that last one he really could have if he had just slowed down a bit and again that comes to the nerves in this format right I actually like putting it into that the idea of putting in that left uh um saucer when you've got the two trap targets down like Joe does because it kind of throws it up at an angle right in between there to bounce around and get the two letters right yeah I could all right he's in the upside down which unfortunately raises the drop targets Carl are you gonna go to City Championship nope uh Brian only needs the last two that are behind the drop targets really really you should be going to the Golden State pinball Festival I'll be there sure Joe starts demogorgon which blocks him from hitting the last two stand-up teams Brian needs one more Brian just I believe the reset the drop Target what should Joe be doing right now draining Joe should be draining Brian's in the same situation here now though and he knows it Joe needs to just get out of there well Joe can still shoot for that e on the left yeah but it's not worth uh reward man yeah there so Joe realized that Brian drained and so he did the same thing either that or hurt us that's possible but it's pretty loud in here so it's hard to hear if you're not looking at someone he for sure heard us Joe hits both of them okay so he needs one target now yeah he just needs that e on the left he's got it right right right here this one right here come on meantime Brian only needs this one what ball are they on remember for both of them so this is actually a danger moment okay he's got he's got to make one shot there you go oh there's a ball save but he had that where's he up now he's got to make that single shot up in the left there but he's got he hit all the stand-up stuff don't be like Rob no I was so focused on Joe I didn't notice I know you're so cool you were like um all right so two Jared and Chad says City champ is the best tournament Jared is one of the directors for City Channel no bias at all it's fine City champ was uh not nice to me last year was fun because a bunch of us were up there that was the fun part they saw Pliny a block away that was nice too yeah whereas down here we have to fight the church try to get one or two bottles stop moving on me too long actually uh Marcus and Paul bunch of those yes tall you're the high scene that machine Marcus you're up looks like Marcus just got his food [Music] multiball all right we're doing multiball all right ready three two one go Marcus lights the locks three ramps up so Paul has nothing Paul on the right Marcus on the left should probably be announcing who the players are this is true [Applause] all right Marcus trying to get the uh shot with the right flipper oh look at that Paul grazed the target going up the ramp and got the lock at the same time yep nice uh Paul shoots it in the pops that's gonna delay it a bit but not too much this time around there's Marcus here's two for Marcus time this out flip the flippers don't don't let that animation run Mark is trying to post catch right there oh no okay that bounce still waiting on Paul here there it is you got it all right Marcus has it oh same game all right Marcus gets goal on the same machine demo dog demo dog attack you both understand how to do it right targets and then the shop that actually started not the orbit but the the one-way shot yeah I'm making sure after after that Johnny modiza wow why is he still there he said he only had until 6 pm to play well he uh he apparently is playing later oh uh modik is in the final four yeah Waltz front of five over at Walter trying to get that uh thanks Johnny good luck man good seeing you it was 40 some odd but it's mostly there's a few people that came down from Seattle um so the other kind of see I texted John do that okay at least I tried right yeah yeah he said he only have until 6 PM that's why he wasn't coming here yeah yeah obviously uh he uh changed his mind huh hopefully he wins he's got a lug that game that boat anchor home with him even Gene Lewin didn't go to that I know I know yeah we won't give Johnny uh any break for this nope all right Paul's only two Targets away unfortunately one of them is the G on the right hand side that again you cannot hit directly Marcus on the other hand has that he just needs the two Targets that are behind the drops yeah when you get down to that g I'm wondering what the shot is you try to go for it to bounce it I mean I'm almost wondering if coming down from the orbit if you can nudge it in a certain way but I I don't know I really don't maybe off the left swing Marcus doing correctly right there and draining out after starting the demo dog or dimmed organ too many demos demodorgan got the G so now he needs to he needs to get out of this demo yeah he needs out of the demo program actually he doesn't he's got it lit that's right he does have a list he doesn't have to get out of this he just needs to make one shot how's Marcus looking we don't know because upside down Paul gets the win there 1-1 that's a good objective Carl Marcus is switching machine yeah I like that I like objectives that aren't so simple right multiball you already played the multiball demogorgon okay defeat the demogorgon I kind of like this one I like it because you can you know even if both people at the same time get to that point getting that single shot of having you know getting it in the mouth as we keep saying right right Shane's favorite thing all right ready all right Paul finishes that last drop Target with help of the uh the Foster kick out it's going three more two more Marcus on the other hand is still uh in trouble here he needed the the rightmost drop Target to finish will so he shot the left one but she already had that letter can you give him any credit all right here goes Paul starting five shots we're in the mouth I'm a little scared when I say that and Shane looks over at me all right so that's two yep there's threes oh that's air balls that one didn't register all right Mark is in there now yep all right one more for Paul or and that'll do that's it [Applause] all right Paul takes down Marcus Marcus is eliminated call one all one all right next match Steve versus Luca all right Steve you're gonna choice of gold moan on left charge after I left ramps left ramps all right start the left ramp mode left ramp mode all right so this is a walkie-talkie it's essentially the same activity as uh starting multiball except without having to worry about the drops right stand up there exactly ready two one go all right this again is another Luca on the right Steve on left San Diego versus Steve is it right orphan with his first one uh left ramp left right no look it does not have the first left right left ramp yep Steve figuring out that which I found that uh it's much easier to backhand that shot there's two for Steve one more we'll get it Luca light gets one locks the ball the lock does not matter speed one away from victory should we get control come on Luca back hands the second one yeah Luca got it all right that's close so that'll be our fourth actual elimination now not yet oh yeah I know it's funny when you're in here when you're doing this you lose track I completely forgot yeah giving him the encouragement he needs to Rally which one all right defeat demogorgon all right I actually haven't played that game this much this game that much you haven't played that much no I probably played a lot more than you have ready I've been pretty much what I'm saying I played three two one go foreign play here at Ace Gogi I'm Carl D'Python Anghelo with me or uh the owner come on I'm Shane thanks I'm uh Matt robot I'm over here as well all right so Steve is has got a shot okay Lucas in there Steve is now they're both Head to Head tied I think was one shot ahead Steve's gonna get in the mouth right now oh and Luke he's reaching for his pockets against quarters so you only need two sets of drop targets instead of three come on Steve boom he can take his time here and just hit the five shots and Steve just lit the spell of protection what's that do uh left uh out lane it will actually give you a virtual Kickback this right here yep darn whiteboard it's not clearing all right two uh one shot left for Steve yep come on Steve boom there yeah there it is all right all right Steve foreign that would have been touch screen but I wanted to get it up on the TV here tomorrow that won't do it then thanks now there's fingerprints on my monitor really yeah this isn't touch screen oh don't you're the one that put fingerprints under the glass on the left game number five four three two one go all right two minute drone high scoring two minutes I'm not a fan of the two minute drill in this game yeah because the upside down right yeah I like your strategy of throwing over the pops on the right just try and get switches right exactly or the other ones but do we know how many switch hits it takes or no we don't it's random it's random for the game you're playing right yeah well we actually don't know what they haven't Stern is not said you were thinking but don't you think competition mode should change the settings on that yeah it hasn't yeah it does when you're multiple people on One machine will have the same number of switch hits but two separate machines it's not a fixed number like oh there's 20 20 square tricks so Steve has a uh the left ramp possibilities here um I'm gonna start the mode right here this is the second lock I believe and they miss it on the internet barely got a million right now less than a minute Steve has multiple ready to go on that left ramps [Music] gotta time this stuff out though yeah there you go all right I the only disadvantage he's got is I don't think you can get into upside down while no you cannot but he's got a mode running also so he's gonna get mode points yep he's just got a flail and hit as many shots he has to get to the super if he doesn't get to the super he will not catch loser oh man 20 seconds ten nine eight seven six five more chance four three two one hands off oh he got the super right at the end enough the upside down is that's it yeah it's it's an unfortunate thing you know if one gets in the other doesn't you're done yeah and I mean to their to their credit I don't think Stern anticipated this type of format that's [ __ ] but all right my turn all right Carl all right Carl go get him buddy we have like 300 pieces I know I love them who was the high season uh were you against me okay Michael and Michael are you doing machine or [Music] uh [Music] it looks like we're going with it multiple so uh three two one go uh demo man the ggp for this format uh we played eight rounds of match play before getting into the finals which covers the the teaching game so we started out today with 64 people um at around one one and two o'clock something like that one Thirty or something and then uh worked our way down to the top 16. you are now battling it out [Applause] Special K Special K that's what I call them demo dog okay all right it's a Michael pick machine he's going to take that left machine he smokes tough man it's a lot of shots it is a lot of shots all right ready three two one go all right Carl looks like he's working on those Center shots first which which are pretty difficult I always got one of them Michael's got both Center shots lit all right Michael almost bounced into that hard G Target G-spot all right so Carl's got his D he got his e he actually has bounced into that g Carl's got his oh he's got one left okay with these uh no those are the lights uh light locks so he's got d-e-m-o he's missing that D and he's got o and G so he needs that o on the right which you can backhand yep we just got it right now he's just got to hit that final shot and boom right here I think he'll get it here oh where we got on Michael's still missing that hard to hit G as well as his uh oh on the right all right Carl gets it [Applause] I think that means I gotta go up next oh no good job special Cape quick and easy all right I think it's me he's still shaking after this every time and every time all right yes uh robot him versus uh let's go robot him Brian is the high speed of course on the Elvira you didn't you weren't you didn't make it to that one I qualified all right two minute drill let's see if uh Matt's gonna take that strategy or not I'm not a fan of too many films nor am I so uh the the match play portion uh Undead unicorn 46. it was just uh eight rounds of match plays it wasn't a Target this time so that we can get full tgp five four three two one go all right real bottom let's see the uh who picked this robots [Music] yep there he goes oh he did not hit the pop-up man he's getting close to modes though so make a shot oh he's shooting everywhere Brian meantime in the same boat although Matt's got a lot more points yeah he's well he's hitting a lot of shots he's hitting a lot of shots at the same time fudge Brian just got a massive number of points dang what a chance to get those try down on ball too one minute says it's combos so that makes sense there are values for combos one of the awards and this is a five-way combo so that is another strategy to do in this that's actually worthwhile I think because I see most people going for the uh Oregon yeah but the demogorgon is not enough points yeah [Applause] [Music] throw bottom meets the uh upside down somehow in the meantime Brian started demo dog I don't know the scoring in that mode doesn't seem to be much though with the two minute drill it seems like whoever just kills it off upside down for sure that's right I don't like it very much hands off dang this top crust robotum had the uh upside down I know I know probably the decisive moment yeah it's amazing that the guy at the same time that's crazy so is that mode random or is there it has to be a number uh we do use for kids having fun I don't like the two minute drill at all yeah I've heard this game right I know yeah it definitely works better on other games ready three two one go [Music] all right two lock targets then three left ramps oh and Matt gets both Targets in one shot and gets his first lock Brian did not find that left Target he's got it now only one shot ahead to Brian and makes his first lock Brian makes his second lock they both make their second lock Head to Head who's gonna make oh looks like Brian gets it dang well that went fast that upside down yeah I was I was uh I knew it that at from that moment I'm like I was just lost there's nothing I could do I mean I ground out a lot of points and in about two minutes but there's nothing I could do all your high scene which one multiball okay multiball multiball [Music] oh that's funny adverman from luck I don't know what that is I probably shouldn't say it huh [Music] ready sorry I'm supposed to come down three two one go all right same challenge as the last round start multiball I will say Brian got that really fast because I felt like I was going pretty quick into that motion close you guys broke that too yeah you both locked the balls too at the same time oh really at the exact same time all right David both locks and one hit there do you have to hit the two stand-ups or will multiple ramp shots also count as locks you have to hit those two standards and then after your first multiball you have to hit both stand ups every lock instead of just once for all three right I wonder if this challenge would be better to set the multiball too hard so you know you need to do that that's a good point I mean yeah I mean I think and now having played through this the Lessons Learned I would say is the two minute drill doesn't really work well because of the upside down yeah and you picked it didn't you uh no no either no I didn't pick it I would never have picked that I don't like that random okay Paul's got the upside down it's fine you still lock balls during it yeah the upside down again you get to make the progress but it does hurt you a little bit if you're not 100 sure of what you've got lit because you can't see it would the UV lighting kit let you see what you've progressed to probably not no because it's an extra 100 bucks for that he needs to drain though because he's put himself in a mode and he's not able to uh that's right another ball he should be able to enough no he just got that shot and it didn't do anything oh it locked his ball right there that was the second block it did give it to him yeah it still works yeah okay all right yeah see Paul just did it as well gotcha oh he was looking I was I see now I think that's it for David that does it right that should do it yep yep [Applause] all right stay in that machine you get the big goal demogorgon all right [Music] tired go home I want to yeah it's been a it's been a long day it's always a long day yep there's so many things to do every day is a long day for you right so I've done so much stuff I haven't done yet yeah three [Applause] all right we're trying to spell will run right here all right spell will run into the middle to bring the demogorgon out and then you leaving all right Paul has lit his dimmick organ associated Dave's got a whole nother seven drop Target screw so Paul's got some time if he doesn't have to rush through this yeah oh nice all right one one all right Paul what goal demo dog attack demo dog attack all right are we ready three two one go so now that you've put I mean I now I've played this I thought going for the middle two Targets was a good idea to do right off the bat makes sense yeah so such as Paul's already got this too just because it was I don't want to have to shoot up there all the time yep the other ones you can pick off one at a time plus where you have the ball safe because that Center Shop's dangerous that too neither of them have the G yet the Lucky G -spot you go there G target for anyone just joining us is right here it is not a Target you can directly hit you have to rebound into it apart from that you're just like Devil Dog but you can see these uh these lights all over the place d e m o d o g uh whiteboard I forgot to set the five minute timer so I don't know how long we have been on here we can set it right now that would just do like I think uh David's got the G oh yeah David only needs one more Target let's just stay here until midnight on this one I don't think the uh timer is necessary okay I mean Paul at this point just needs that g he's a thinking how do I get that juice I'm not the easiest spot to hit no no no it's not it depends on your level of experience I think that's true and the G-Spot in all games are different David in the meantime finishes the letters you just need to shoot the shot where the blinking blue and you got it nice you got it David David takes Fallout so now we have David Oliver a top seed versus Luca to San diegans one goes home kill each other guys go for it you can't tell who Shane's rooting for Canyon all right nope wrong one start multiball David on the left Luca on the right are we ready three two one go I did unicorn I would I would approve your message but then it'd be in all my chats what Jane said I believe or was it now one of the two we were having a conversation I don't know we were I don't know who said it all right Luca just got a first lock oh look it was second lock that was a nice little Hobby and then David's got his lockers I think yeah oh no you know he's got a lit so you can you can cancel out the lock so fast that we don't know what it is we can't see it which is the right way to do it when you're on here oh yeah of course of course so much better than what we're uh monsters it was so funny during the monsters watch everyone's tapping slippers over and over and over even though it wouldn't do anything yeah it's just that that nervous tension that you have and you're waiting for the ball to come back David uh that might be that might be cool did you win the monsters one yes yes I did was that so why didn't you ask me if I won the monster Club I don't remember the monsters launch to be honest yeah my best one I think is uh Beatles which was one of my first ones that's what I got a I had a fifth such a good game yeah I think that was what helped me with the Beatles one was that no one knew how it worked yeah and it really equalized how to play yeah see I missed the Beatles one too that's why I got fifth is that one did you qualify on that one Shane I don't remember I don't think so but you said when I'm not here you qualified yeah that was a while ago I'm a better player now oh is that it three two one go all right defeat the difficult game quick drain from both players oh no almost all right Lucas closest here he just spelled it he's ready to go in that's fine that drain is okay yeah makes it right for this game yeah the five mom really makes we haven't had anyone have to restart the game dude as well David is already in it despite having lit it after Luca Luca's having trouble getting it right up in there he is it means that David's slapping the machine right now Lucas only hope is if David somehow drains here before hitting this last one which he did not David got it [Music] what's that spot right there right orbit mode got it we'll go all right right orbit chapters yeah that's the one yeah for a while now yeah I'm gonna be remembering that two minute drills terrible in this game yeah ready three two you both got at the same exact time I know yeah right orbit right orbit so we're players to choose start chapter they get to choose which of the chapters to start so and it still is interesting to me that people keep picking that right orbit because of the fact that it's not a returnable shot Luca is just one shot away now let's see that's it that's it all right payment has been eliminated moving on SD on SD crime put this here updated all right you gotta go play again Carl all right it's me versus Brian and Brian is the high seat how to move this over so you can see that it's our brackets what are you gonna he's the high seat he's the high C yes he's gonna pick machine or game or uh mode I don't get the Rope two minute drill please he picks two minute drill all right okay so how you do that all right Carl chooses the left Machining which has been feeling all day all right come on all right ready all right we're off let's see if uh for that strategy we talked about which is I was not having any luck with like I know this game more just from watching this yep all right all right goes into the pops again I mean worst case he gets a mode started on that right side right best case he gets into his upside down you still don't like this uh objective at all yeah see oh Carl now he's switching Switching gears he's going for multiball it looks like uh surrogate I'm gonna have to squeeze that upside down there for sure whoever gets upside down for every time seems to win this mode yeah because it's just worth too many points in a two minute time frame you could uh one minute you could even do oh so Carl's got his upside down he's already and he's in multiple and in multiball Carl's a G man yeah no joke real deal he it's one of those Benchmark moments like when I get to beat Carl I go oh good that's everybody man uh so okay Brian just hit his upside down got one of them right away two of them right away for the full value it's catching him up he missed the other two right now 20 seconds 20 seconds Oh missing those other two really hurt him Ted five four three two one hands off hands off let's close this uh stop on the bottom right and I don't know there it goes all right right orbit starting mode [Music] foreign Brian got a much friendlier return it's helping him out now he's got a second one oh and he may get a third right here he does it yep you can see right here this is the problem with the upside down they played for 30 seconds there yeah Ryan got an upside down our demo dog it's a good mode for Carl I would choose that too a lot of shots yeah it's a lot of specific shots all right three two one go all right so Carl looks like he's doing the strategy we talked about earlier middle middle first so this is a feature of this it is a very quick ball search when you lock the ball I don't know if they've got an opto in there or something that is just registering there's a ball behind those drop targets but it doesn't take the usual 20 plus seconds before I think he has all the shots lit Carl because he does he just does that one shot which he's going for and just missed where's uh Brian at uh Brian yeah he's still missing his D and the heart all right I think Carlos let's see right here [Applause] so that'll eliminate Brian and uh yeah I believe Seventh Place good job man [Music] you're up again oh yeah you're up again no no not right now oh yeah [Music] Carl took a quick step outside to whoop some ass and come right back it's cool they don't have control over it multiball all right so they're going for a multiball here [Music] so Bob's got to lose twice huh uh Bob would have to lose twice to get second place that's annoying yeah I definitely like demo dog attacks more than the other town it's just it's longer I like the longer yeah for sure I agree and it's it's more a testament to being able to kiss it's more you man yeah true it's more meal no question there like a sniper still gotta get lucky on the one though but at some point it was like a sniper don't pick each one off one at a time Lucas about the lock one done here he's just going right for it you can kind of tell them you can tell Lucas spent a lot of time on this game yeah it's uh he's using the same strategy I do with attack from Mars which is let it bounce over to that right flipper and then go for the lock shot I would think that Lucas probably played this game more comb more times than most of us combined probably yeah demo dog attack all right I'm a dog all right yep you only have both Targets in the ramp three times for that uh multiball challenge pretty quick very quick all right start demo dog attack demo dog attack who's that all right I'm asking you if you want three two one go before oh that was a nice shot in there for David bye David yeah now he can just focus on the others let's see on see I think you're right I mean that that return from that right orbit gets it really close to that chain it just doesn't have enough to how I got it I think I don't know if I got lucky but I shot this Target and it rebounded over to there Lucas starts a mode doesn't matter you can still catch it you know get the letters during this yeah this is one of the one of the things that's stackable with just about everything in the game it seems is it David he was just looking for two Targets here looks like he's focusing mainly on that right the right one that you can actually hit which hopefully will give him a nice bounce back down to the G oh foreign probably for grass you just can't see it yeah exactly and what I've noticed is the progression shots while you're on upside down they like for an instant so if he were to hit one of those stand-ups it would light it for a Flash and then it goes back out together oh it's still not getting that Target on the right side of the right ramp that would be the oh the second no all right take your time David take a breath all right Luca is in the he just needs the G nope I think he's gonna try and backhand it here which of that there we go all right now both of them now just needing that g so who will get a sling hit into the into it that's that's basically what it is I think get this one I would start shooting for that left sling oh he got it he he actually grazed it with a shot from The Flipper wow nice Lord Lord did yeah so I mean it was a it was kind of almost a right at the point of being an alley pass type shot and it it grazed it he got it all right [Applause] all right we are 1-1 [Music] all right obviously now you gotta pick that machine because you got a match so it's a free game two minute drill a shame what's his you know literally smack my head the Picard oh my God five just be whoever gets the upside down first one go and I don't know why that was flickering in and out that was weird I just got I got lucky on this mode I'll admit it it just I got that upside down right it's a multiball startup yeah you did oh yeah sure it was I was trying for combos like like Matt did but the combos didn't see I wasn't shooting different shots yeah I mean I I racked up a fair amount of points there on combo yeah exactly I was shocked at that with uh what I would actually like getting into modes all right Lucas started a mode but he's got his lock lid also he's got a good minute you really want about a minute to play in multiball yeah yeah because he's building up the jackpots start pretty small right Dave I I don't see what he's doing he started mode the ramp I think this mode is actually decent if you can combo the ram where he's going for dinner Gorgon which I I disagree with you yeah totally that look in the meantime he's in there he got a hit right away on two of them that's 15 million another seven and a half there and another finishes it so he got almost the perfect upside down Dave's only hope now is to actually get down upside down yeah and Lucas starts multiball okay so David just got his upside down he now has to hit those where's his ball though it was up in the hip in the top so he's got two more targets to hit there you go yeah excellent excellent job catching back up his value wasn't quite as high as Lucas yeah because he he was waiting for the uh I think Lucas got him just because he's in multiball yeah still getting points I don't think there's a single shot that's gonna let's get the normal if he gets in Denver shot in the mouth shot in one shot three two one [Applause] so it's not only who gets the upside down if you get a high value and upside down and you can pull something in though yeah one thing I would say is uh that I I hope they address in the future is that in that case where he lit the upside down while the bowel was kind of locked for a second yeah letting him out it didn't pause the timer the timer still went so he lost a couple million off the hurry up while waiting to eject the ball got it I would say pause that timer until the ball's actually out so Carl's back up again is he Colin D price yep all right looks like we're going into defeat the demogorgon [Music] all right Carl all right both have got their will locked out the drain here is not that painful because the skill shot lets you hit those letters too all right Carl needs one shot to get it started all right he's into it so is Derek we are neck and neck Carl just going right for it two either neck and neck still Carl oh no that's probably gonna do it for Carl one shot left for Derek Carl's not even bothering there it is that's annoying Derek's got the beard situation going on push a button here where all right we're going to the demo dog three oh wait wait wait three two one go so there's got the m and the o [Music] [ __ ] oh Carl does Carl does have both of them have their G the the hard G Carl just missed us he wanted to come back and hang out with us more I did I didn't mean the super skill shot bad it was just a bad plunge uh oh yeah cause that held that ball for quite oh yeah it did I absolutely did not mean to do that all right it is so we're gonna have Raymond and Luca next Raymond and Luca next two minute drill two minute drill all right five four three two one go all right so I'm curious what Raymond does here because he's uh I know he's gonna practice quite a bit yeah I'm assuming well it looks like multiball I mean I don't hate the the drain once the ball saves gone and getting the the skill shot which progressively builds really I think it does it's not enough though it's just not enough it's not I mean yeah it's like little fiddly points yeah it's like 500 and then 600 or something foreign points [Music] gets clears down Raymond having trouble getting that lock I think that was his plan all right Raymond's an upside down but he's got his balls stuck up in the pop bumpers and I've heard his timeline oh that's a lock but if that timer keeps going that yeah it does not stop I I hope in the future they uh they paused that timer all right the filter ball for Raymond here still got one shot left on upside down I think too yes yes 30 seconds so Raymond really needs a double Super Jackpot not too many shots really but it's just he must get the double the the uh yeah there's lockable I think and then yes yeah for us to do better but this is looking like Lucas Master this way five four three two one time's up all right Luca takes round one too much time pass for this stupid launch party it's been out too long [Music] so there's nothing when we talk about beetles it was out for days um so no one had time to master it like everyone's already sick of this game am I wrong it's been out too long for lunch party everybody knows how to play there's played all the same ways but it's giving people time to understand how to play it so yeah but there's some players you can see that just play this this prep all day long you know what I mean um repeats the purpose what my opinion so why was it this late just because the duck house Jordan sets them up for some reason this one was very late right well this game came back out for two months it came out at a very odd time right okay that I think that was the issue with this game I mean they just hurry up and bang them up because they've got a timeline to to uphold as opposed to doing it properly I think I put the games out and then figure out after they're out on the thus hence the uh the lighting kit and the all the code changes and whatnot it's just it's silly but the lighting kit they had planned the whole time because all the playfields yeah all right Raymond's in the lead here you need three more hits to the demogorgon two more to win this the last few always been two three weeks out we had to you know submit that's Raymond you always had to submit the calendar uh like to the following year because it was within four weeks right and now it's I don't know silly [Applause] it's right orbit mode well your next launch party is gonna have that problem orbit what's that so your next launch party is not gonna have that no for sure yeah there won't be too many Rick and Morty's out there so yeah but I think that uh I may try to delay putting them out until closer to lunch party just so it's not like everyone knows how to play and they're gonna play it all the same way once all the videos come out there people watching yeah you can watch as many as you want it's not the same thing ready so this is the right right oh this seems to be the favorite mode for people I'm honestly kind of surprised it's very surprising to me I mean the left the left orbit that was kind of easy very fast yeah because you just it feeds right back to the flip but this has that element of luck and so I'm kind of surprised that Raymond chose [Applause] Raymond picked this yeah Raymond picture yeah because uh Luca picks these games all right next how much how long was about to see Raymond got lucky the ball did not stay in the pop that long got it all right Raymond advances all right are you out yeah I've been out that that uh that last match I had we are down to the final four players Derek Raymond Ron and Bob way up there in the winners bracket waiting forever getting cold right all right Raymond and Derek all right he's picking Raymond's picking machine uh Raymond Tyson he picked this machine so what do you want Derek yeah water bottle please let's be on the counter so camouflage one that was a joke that was that was a it was a joke oh we got our stuck ball is that what he's saying okay [Music] I've still never seen a pack of gum this big before it's a lot of gum [Music] I don't think so but here if you go look for me we go look or just bring one bring one of those uh smart Waters just bring me a bottle of water all right we rebooted that machine since it did the bonus count before the ball drained it did like a compensation or a Chase ball okay they lost the ball so we just got it just to be safe yep all right this is a start chapter right ramp right Ram ready look at Raymond oh and he doesn't run away right away Sports Center it's gonna be on ESPN look at Derek's face I gotta you know I never watch YouTube videos where they you know when someone makes a mistake and they zoom in on the I really need to do that with this thing yeah we need that that crash Zoom right right raise all freshly shaved looks like a you've seen that Meme where it says I shaved my beard and now I regret it [Laughter] don't take him out I I don't but uh let me find it for you demo dog attack so who picked this one Derek Derek I think the mode yeah ready three two one go [Applause] so with this just tuning in if anyone's just tuning in this is the starting demagogue attack there are seven stand-ups around the Playfield that's spelled demo dog you have to hit those then shoots up this Lane right here that lane with the squiggly line to start your demo dog attack so Derek on the left leg already yes exactly so he only needs two more two more letters now one is this is inside here this is tricky because if he hits it wrong and misses he's gonna start his demogorgon oh yeah what's Derek doing uh I think all right I think so yeah now he's doing it but he wasn't shooting there he was shooting over on the left yeah all right so Raymond's in upside down so we can't see his progress uh Raymond did get the the G already now okay so he's got three targets to go two flanking the right ramp and then one behind the drop Targets this one might I don't know that ejected and help him there we go all right Derek has his final targets Raymond needs three still so Derek needs to make that one two left for Raymond now so yeah Derek was shooting at it he thought he wasn't done it's Raymond read it I'd rather I saw it listen dang you're fast well it helps like you said it already before it's actually looking at it oh so you're listening to me that's good I know you're listening all right this is the elimination game here two minute drill deck's choice wait no Raymond so Raymond chose game they're choosing mode demagogue demogorgon all right defeat the demogorgon Dalton says I think commendative pinball could be broadcasted if there was a quick tutorial games before matches played to make non-players have an understanding of the game and not watching confusion and that's what this format is for right because we can run a quick tutorial before any of these defeat them because they're going to start I'll do it at the next show how about that we're late in the game here might be more fun to just watch the tutorial of course I am ready three two one go so to me this is the high risk mode because if you drain during demo Gordon you're toast yep you are toast and as I learned from firsthand experience that's a very real possibility all right they both have will spell they both drain the first balls on the ball too now I'm surprised uh Raymond short plunge there instead of full plunging yeah because the football plunge gives you free targets right exactly so Raymond needs one more Target the left jump targets just get it right in the shot oh there we go drains demogorgon ready they both have that Denver Gordon ready all right Raymond jeez there he goes Raymond's in and in the mouth here it comes [Applause] two hits all right Derek's got his lit by Ray oh here comes here it is all right Raymond gets it so kill us oh yeah I mean we saw like you could see the right hand screen just barely hit before the left-hand screen uh Derek got in the mouth that's why hmm was it show at five million when you complete it in 10 million it was like right it was right afterwards all right Derrick is in fourth place Ron versus Raymond well Ray's getting put some work in Raymond is the high seas this is the tough thing about going through that loser's bracket is you gotta work your ways the worst of that ladder we did last time remember it was like get a ladder was brutal yeah right Rambo right ramp mode right Ram move so the craziest time I've ever seen you got me you love it don't you I do like it he just buys his gum once target has it yeah once a year I got a year Supply are we ready all right Raymond's got his first round he's he's doing the same thing he did last time which worked out real well for him despite the fact that this was not the challenge that Raymond chose look at that that's that one that was that drop uh the uh the wow I'm tired yeah post transfer the right ramp yeah right right ramp oh boy it's all right lots of time yeah this is the hard part too because Raymond doesn't necessarily know how far Ron is so he's Assuming he's under the gun come on I think you can glance over and kind of see oh boy gotta make sure we take these games off Fireball yeah there's a lot of settings to go through and change yeah why not left over no one wants that one for some reason which one the left orbit I think it's just because it's so three consecutive shots yeah easy peasy so yeah Ricky Roo we could edit this and create a half hour episode it is possible no question might as well keep it three hours a game so Raymond chooses two minute drill called it you called it who picked that Raymond Raymond picked it that's surprising are we ready all right here we go five four three two one go all right so Raymond is uh he looks like he's going for a mode yep yep starting the mode start right into that mode what's Ron doing Ron is going for a demogoria and he's got a lit yes he's going for dinner again I think uh Rihanna's going for for multiball now that ends uh Raymond's mode so yes he's gonna go for multiple now but getting the multiball will give him the next mode too uh true true true all right so now we want the apply downloading that's really what both these players are looking for yep yep and not to drain right when it starts Raymond having trouble with left ramp like some people did that sucked it felt real uh real not good neither player really putting anything on the board here yeah this is crazy oh upside down for Raymond 15 mil right there all right another seven and a half hey you missed that Target I missed that last one but that's still 30 million Ron starts his demogorgon and the upside down will not start during this mode exactly so it's horrible start yep Raymond's just gonna keep trying to get into that multiball one shot left on that so it's interesting Ron does have the demo dog rolling which actually I can't remember the exact scoring on it but which hits are are worth everything not worth it all right that's the end of this it's gonna be it Raymond Raymond takes it down advances [Applause] pinball nerds podcast so rad side by side all right so that's an awesome format it is that puts a Ron in third place right Ron is in third place and now we've got an hour yeah in order to lose this I'm gonna go and split the pot up okay oh go for it thanks thanks you're good all right final two players here Bob Matthews in the winners bracket and Raymond still best of three you just have to lose twice [Music] all right we are doing the demo Gorgon for our first match here where's the plate plague heart emoji wants to play oh where's that plague heart emoji look at that Neil W with the uh Play card I don't know [Music] that's awesome do you still uh do you still make and sell the critical hit decks I do I do I still have match play decks uh that's all I have right now I need to get a couple of those from you all right I've got them I can bring them to the league yeah are we ready or they're available at neverdrains.com critical hit go all right defeat the demogorgon excellent drop catch by Raymond he got his first he got will on this will give him the rest of the best oh no he needs one more letter I mean that was fast yeah and he's got a lit Bob's on far behind all right he's in the mode now that was fast that was very fast oh this is not good oh goodness good nuts that he had to do it did not tilt that he's taking his time now knows needs to get those shots in oh that almost went in I think Raymond is determined here he is uh he's got that look yeah he's one more oh no oh no Bob is almost there I'm gonna get it there with one more to hit Raymond looking to bring the trophy home for Penelope all right got it [Applause] wow that's why I said that's the highest risk yeah you can't catch back up I think I would rather play two minute drill than that my own personal opinion yeah multiball all right we gotta potentially quick this is if Bob takes this we are done Bob wins tournament yep so this is an elimination match back the next two games before if Bob does not win this the uh the summary of eight hours of pinball are we ready three two one go Bob has his locks lit up Amazon determined here he's on fire there's one block to Bob Raymond's still without his locks unfortunate gets in the scoop which will delay the ball okay Raymond's got a box with an excellent Passover but yeah oh just missed Bob misses the ramp again and puts it in the pop bumpers and has a slight chance that he's attacked him didn't make that no he didn't did it nope he went for this Bob is on lock two one more shot for the left ramp and Bob takes the game takes the tournament right here and Bob and Bob takes it Bob is our champion so that's gonna be congratulations Bob bin first Raymond in seconds and uh I already forget too all right let me put this into lawn just so we can have the official record of it and get our final standings tournament is done where's the uh where are we what are we doing now we're waiting for Shane to come back Shane's counting the money Shane's gonna get the prizes together um maybe we'll uh we should show those trophies on the screen yeah exactly that's what I was hoping to do let me uh let me see if I can get this uh the camera instead of uh for a white shot here uh which one is this it's uh this one so let me don't crash on me all right good let's do that and then unlock it and do this and reset this yeah oh I hope they're good that's good enough for this right yep live and then I'll move that camera but again we've got some time here anyway so we do this was a fantastic so uh April 4th we're doing a Rick and Morty heads up yes which is gonna be incredibly interesting yeah uh we've got uh two it'll be the same format as this uh two right two Rick and Morty's Head to Head um April 4th and it will be the first tournament at acekogi West potentially yes but essentially but yes yes depends on how much space there is yes we're hopefully it will be the first tournament there yeah or Woodland Hills area right right uh it's a great location definitely check it out right now there's only a couple pins in the lobby um there is a room dedicated for Pinball it's just getting set up right now right so within the next week or two it'll have lots of pins Raymond and Bob just going for victory laps here now what else is coming up um on my streams I'm going to continue with remote challenges as much as I can I told you you're welcome to come impressed with my Ghostbusters I I actually the other day after saying that I tried again I sat there for a couple hours going like I'm gonna try I'm gonna try I'm gonna try and I got to uh like one mode away one away that's rough yeah that's rough then there's the whole aspect of actually completing the wizard mode which is a another oh yeah that's why I'm I'm trying more on Alice Cooper because it's I want to watch the older video I haven't watched the when Bowen completed it to see if it's changed oh the code Yeah the code has changed quite a bit right and I understand my understanding is the wizard mode has changed as well because right now it's very difficult to get there okay you only get 60 seconds to get through 19 shots wow very specific shots too that's uh that's a lot yeah and then you said you're gonna have to change some pins out here you know I'm gonna sell off one here uh I'm gonna be selling um Maiden Iron Maiden and uh Oz I think oh you can sell them both yeah because I have a Rick and Morty coming I like you do yep now I have a Rick and Morty as well yeah so once that comes Something's Gotta Go and I don't know I may pick up a Jurassic Park I mean I don't know I'm still undecided by now I really like the game I think it would be a good home game though I think you can get it's pretty deep I thought Maiden would be too but I'm tired of it kind of oh really but I get tired of games pretty quickly yeah the biggest flip from Loser on February 29th in San Diego there we go are you gonna go down I'm going on I'm planning to go as long as I can make everything work schedule-wise excellent tournament check it out on uh have you so uh with that tournament the it's a critical hit tournament it is that's right and uh one of the benefits of of doing The Biggest Loser aspect of this is if you checked in with Kyle and gave a wait earlier uh you get a weigh-in at the tournament and for every three pounds you lose I think you get an extra card that's a critical hit that's right I have lost maybe the three pounds I maybe maybe I think I unfortunately gained after I weighed in which is not a good idea oh yeah can I win again Kyle I just re-way the tournament is over we're just waiting for the prizes to show up Shane with the money to finish off the uh to show off the trophies and yes Binkley there is a critical hit at captains on 329 there's also a stranger things launches happening everywhere now tomorrow tomorrow at captains next week uh mission control I think down in Santa Ana right San Diego's doing theirs so lots of those go on Facebook and and look for uh SoCal pinball events something so I got pinball events not soak out pinball and events but just so count pinball I'm not getting into the argument of which which one you go look for I'm saying if you search for the word so-called SoCal pinball events well you will find a couple groups and in those groups people post uh events upcoming the reason I'm saying SoCal pinball events and not so-called pinball animates which was originally SoCal pinball the reason I'm saying this is because there are events that are not being posted to the Silicon pinball and events group anymore yeah because of reasons let's just say that's what I said let's just say I'm not gonna say reason go to one or the other I'm saying go look on Facebook and you can find lots of pinball events in your area oh see how uh Johnny who wasn't please Johnny it looks like he got third oh good he didn't win he didn't win uh knocked out in third uh I don't know who won because of their standings there's down to uh two players there yeah we're done we're
