Summary

Deadflip hosts a casual Dark Knight pinball tournament with guests Jack Danger, Ben Vigent, Nick George Campbell, and Gavin Miller, who arrive in Halloween costumes.

Starting, this is probably one of the most forgiving because everything is so nice and wide open. Yeah. You get a multiball like right away. It's got a fun toy. People love fun toys. You got your crane to hit. You got the Joker that spins around and just takes up real estate. Why don't you press the other flipper button? Go on, press it, see what happens. That is a very odd Batman soundalike. That's a long... Yes. Actually, what's funny is all the voice actors in this sound identical. It could be just one guy. When Scarecrow's talking, it sounds like Batman. When Batman's talking, it sounds like Batman. When Joker's talking, it sounds like Batman. Oh, crap. Let's see how the internet's treating us today, Shelly. Oh, I can turn this off because we don't... How has the internet been treating you? Pretty good. No complaints, really.

Welcome to the chat room. Am I supposed to be direct? Well, no. You're probably talking to Jack. I'm Ben, and I'm just in a polo shirt. No. And he's actually a Marvel villain that I'd never heard of. We'll probably get more of his story on that in a little bit. Any other questions while we're waiting to start? Well, anyway, it feels very strange just talking to myself. There he is. Don't do it. Yeah, it feels very strange. You supposed to be Dracula? Jaden, no. I'm Parker Robbins. Google it. Google it. Parker Robbins. There you go. Hold on. Is my mic on? Parker Robbins. Google it.

What's up, buddy? um so i guess we'll get a practice game in yeah so that's what i thought uh good evening pinheads and welcome back to dead flip pinball we have an exciting show for you tonight our guests include ben say your last name for me uh it's vigent vigent uh nick campbell will be here i'm jack danger gavin the gentleman who donated dark knight to us will be here as well and uh brad Zac Stark actually of dead flip will also be here he's in another podcast in the next room and we'll be here when he's done with that. He's very in demand. Oh, yeah. He's in demand. Sweethood. Thanks, Mark Sheridan. I appreciate it. So Ben and I are going to play a quick little bullshit game until everyone gets in here. So let's start this up. Go ahead. My take is very seriously. I repudiate everything that Jack just said. Go ahead and load it up, buddy. All right. I will save the city. Which skill shot do you usually go for? That depends on what multiball you're comfortable going for. Like right off? Yep. So I usually go for Joker and start beating the shit out of the Joker. That was what I was thinking. Now, do you get that bonus whether or not you get the rollover? No, I think you have to hit the skill shot. In order to get a 2x? Yeah. Okay. Folks, thanks for coming. We're going to play for about an hour and a half tonight because we have a Walking Dead release party to go to. And there's also a Halloween party for our industry that we have to attend as well. Oh. You're not getting away. Nick Campbell's here. We'll throw him in, too. Batman! What's up, buddy? Batman's here. Good to see you. Better get your practice in now. Oh, yeah. I am prepared. No mercy later. All right. This is actually when I'm going to have my best game. Yeah, Mark Sheridan, the cutter's partner. Except that I'm not. Gavin's here. Throw Gavin in, too, Nick. Who's the Cape Warrior? Good to see you, buddy. Welcome, welcome. How's it going, Gavin? Guns and everything, huh? Yes. Is this Shadow now? I am actually Parker Robbins, a very lesser-known Marvel villain. Yes. Billing is adequate for you. Oh, thank you, brother. I appreciate it. That's sweet. But Halloween parties aren't supposed to be until tomorrow. No, screw that. Wait, what? Why don't you do it now? Tonight is the Halloween parties. Are we in the Halloween party? See ya. Yeah. Gavin's here, everyone. Gavin Miller. Hello. We also have Brad come in, right? Brad will also be in. So we'll just play until Brad's done, and then we'll kill this and start the tournament. Do you want to start getting the bracket set up? Yeah. My man. Should we do a single since there's so many people? Yeah, we'll do a single because there is a launch party we have to go to. Marie Kelly, you guys look great. Thanks, darling. I always look good. I always look good. Wait, who won that one? I didn't do that one. Dude, the Viagra target on that thing. Success. Oh, there it is. That felt good. You can turn them in there. so jealous of the logan party mark sheridan get go there man oh that sucks ben do you are you technically savvy uh kind of yeah what do you mean uh never mind i've never used no okay here's what i want you to do what do you want me to do count to five and then click that dissolve right there All dead. One strike. One strike. One strike. First strike. Before I kill you. OK. Thanks, bud. Nice to meet you. Players. Bad player. Bad player. Oh, I got, oh, shit. I hit Batmobile skill shot instead. I'm a ding dong. All right, now before I lock up my second Joker, I'm going to get the crane rolling, because if that's not moving before you start Joker, you can't stack the multi-balls. So we'll backhand this, get that out, and then go for, well, now Scarecrow's in the way. There you go, bud. Nice. Oh, of course. Is it for real, Brad Zac Stark? But the odds... He's not going to be happy about that. No, Zac Stark's actually going to hate that. Come on, dog. Move. Move. All right. So I got Joker lit. Now I'm going to hit the crane to get Scarecrow going. Sorry about the microphone, guys. It's hooked in my cape. This cape's actually really hot, too. All right. I got my multipliers. All right, there you go. So that's Scarecrow multiball as well. To be honest, I'm not sure. I didn't buy them. So if you didn't buy them and I didn't buy them, then yes, they're ours. Just kidding. There's a super. All right, so now the Scarecrow super jackpot's lit. And by hitting Alfred, I got my add-a-ball. Although that didn't do much for keeping that multiball. I looked away like an idiot. Oh, I am such an idiot. That's not the shot worth the points right now. Nope. That is not the shot worth the points. Thank you, Gavin. I thought you might want to know that. The commentary. Oh, damn it. Damn it. You guys look great. Nick Campbell, or Batman, steps up. What? Would you call me? Everyone's lower thirds accompany the costume they're wearing. Yours would be Pepe Le Pew. You are not wearing it. I didn't bring any of that with me. You think I care? I was roadkill last year for Halloween. Marie says hello. Hello, Marie. Roadkill. So the new mic setup is I'm the mic. So I'm picking up the room. and then that has like a tight cone around the machine so you can talk to the machine and people can hear you. Okay, that's cool. Worked out pretty well. I just came from, I saw my text and I just came from Blind Robin, updated the software. I thought you said DB, like Dave and Buster's. No, no, actually that was, I plan on being at a place we know as DB's, which is not Dave and Buster's, it's a private location. Yeah. Oh, Dern Burns. Yeah, okay. I had to stop over at the Blind Robin and update The Walking Dead. So now I have the software that was officially released yesterday on it. What's the new code that we need to know for tonight? I didn't even have time to play a game. All right. I got a flip card. Come on, let's see. What flipper coils do you have in your BSD? Do you know this? Factory coils would be my guess. Do you have the FL-11-629s or the FL-15-411s? I don't have one to ask, but luckily we do have the one to ask. Oh, come on. Yeah, Gavin, if you could read. I can tell you neither of those, because those aren't the coils that Stern uses. Those are Williams coils. On Bram Stoker's Dracula? Oh, on Dracula. Okay, on BSD. That's a good question. I have to double check, but I think that one probably came with 15-4-11s. 15-4-11s. Because of the steep ramp on there? Yeah, he says because it plays so great. He's just wondering. Yeah. I have no idea. Okay. But Gavin says it might be the 15-4-11s. We can double-check on that later, though. The game should have a chart inside of it that will tell you the correct coils of the game. I'm sweating my frickin' balls off right now in this costume. Being evil is not easy. Right. Dude, feet. There we go. That's got some weight to it. Yeah. I'm afraid to look at this because it's got some steel. You need the, check this out. I don't even know how that thing works. Yeah, and that's how you end up getting shot when you go to Walmart later. Don't go to Walmart dressed up with guns. And I got two of them. And you put propane in these, and they look like they're firing and ejecting shells. Really? Yeah. And they're terrifying. Stock is $15,411. We do have lightning flippers on ours. Which is stock as well. Oh, lightning flippers are stock. Yeah. I came with some lightning flippers, which is new. I want to say with the exception of fishtails, I believe the lightning flippers were pretty much a very Ousler game thing. You like them, huh? Yeah, because Popeye, Dracula, and Doctor Who all had them. Oh, right on. Uh, Gavin, Marie wants to know if you know Andrew Dodd that works at Blind Robin. Big guy with a big beard. Of course I do. Of course he does. He works at the Blind Robin. And Gavin's at the Blind Robin. I just met a guy there who's new. Yoli is his name. Yoli? Yeah, bartender. He was in there hanging out with Joanne before I came over here. Perfect. Joe and Beverage. Oh, Ben's coming for it here. I know, he totally is. He's a lot of experience on this game. He was a blind robin regular. Oh, really? Yeah. Well, that I did not know. Blah. I did. Blah. I played this one and that crime a lot of fucking time. Hold on, guys. I got a beer table. The two that are not there. I'm looking forward to it. Haven't played your Walking Dead yet? Well, it plays like brand new because, well, it's brand new. It's a brand new game. It's from World, so everything. Party? It's from the second season, too. Excellent. All right, so we're going to go for Joker's skill shot, unlike the first time I plunged. And since we've already got a lock towards Joker, we're just going to keep shooting for that. It's going to take a few more hits than normal, but... Should be good. So one more hit should open it up. That was not it. Yeah, like an in-person chat. I got my... I don't like it. So Joker's open and collected. So we got one more lock for another Joker multiball. And since we have the doubler, that means the Super Jackpots are going to be boot $2. Oh, freaking Viagra targets, man. Gavin's here. Don't shake his game. Rapid fire. Rapid. All right. Extra ball. I'm not getting anything I want. Just like Christmas. Mark Sheridan says, Hey, Gavin was talking to Matt from Heavy Times about his fishtails, and he said he sold it back to you. Is that the one at Emporium Logan Square right now? It is most definitely the one at Emporium Logan Square. Right on. It's been shopped out and converted to almost all LED. All the inserts are LEDs. Great. The backbox as well. New flipper rebuilds in there. New flipperinos. Yeah. So tear down, clean up, and it's been playing pretty well from what I understand. Yeah. It's pretty cool, so that's fishtails. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And I know there's some regulars there that wanted to buy it for me when I had it for sale up in Milwaukee. Yeah. And it's like, oh, they're so sad I sold it. Then they find out it's right by their house. Yeah, no, they don't have to buy it because it's like they already own it. Yeah. That's the great thing about having blind, I'm sorry, bottom lounge nearby. What's the lineup at bottom lounge? To be honest, I haven't been there in months. Bud's Bunny. They have a Metallica. They have Bobby Orr. They have an Addams Family. I think I saw him in that blind spot, but I think he said hi to me. Who? This guy that she said with the big beard. I think he talked to me last time I was there. I hear you got a nice shout-out on a pinball podcast. Did we? Colt, are you talking about us or about Gavin? Because if it's about us, hell yeah. If it's about Gavin, then why? If it's about Gavin, then F that. Shut it down. Shut it down. I want to see Gavin get mad at his own game. Actually, we've been saying your name a lot. We turn to the screen when the flashers come on. Yeah. Gavin. It's usually after other night squares. Yeah. But we've been saying your name a lot. Tradition. Thanks for coming, buddy. It's because your eyes are adjusted more for the car. There we go. And then they're shutting right in here. I'm so hot in this costume. Yo, you have, like, a jacket and a hoodie and this? Here's what I'm going to do. Why don't you take your jacket off? Sorry about the micro-rofone. Can you hear me scratching? All the best, Ben. I'll open it up. There we go. He's got the bad, bad, bad mode. Yeah. Well, now I don't know what I am, but I feel incredible. This one has the best. Look at that. Impostores. The worst graphic of Batman anyone's ever drawn. Who? Well, I'm over it. Please, Rerp. Well, phooey. Oh, our Twitch stream got a shout-out on Don from Pinball Podcast. Cool. Yeah. Hey, thanks, Don, for watching. If you are watching, that's great. I've got a, is there, how much utility is there in going after the mode? The modes actually give you the same amount of. Yeah, the modes are, the modes give cash, but the left loop on this machine is not lined up properly. What's the third multiball? The bat pod? There's bat pod and then bat signal. There's my second joker multiball. Bet signal, I thought. Thanks, Alfred. Oh, you freaking turd. No. Shit, it's open. No, it's open. It's right there. Go in that. Damn it. The Whisk Reward. Whisk Reward. So this is fun. I'm taking all of this off right now. Take it off, baby. This was fun for like a minute. I see Coral Airs right there. So all the sweat, all of it. This isn't going to last at any Halloween party. Now is that mission and this three board saucer different, like unreliable by design? This one? This game's a prototype. This is an early development model. This doesn't have the whole production work. They made some slight changes to it. One of them is they placed the wall like an eighth of an inch lower. Okay. So that's why that saucer is a little bit trickier? I was wondering that because it is 97s. Oh, of course. Sweaty. What are you talking about? Did your hand just slide off of my shirt because I'm so sweaty? No, you did good. That was a fun game. I don't want to wear any clothes right now. Should we play a round without Brad or something? No, screw Brad. Yeah, he's not even here. What, he thinks... You don't tell Rosie O'Donnell that you're coming on her show and then you don't show up. That's a good point. She'd get very upset. Start match. Brad Zac Stark loses. Oh, I already love that. I already love that. Bang! Nick Campbell versus Ben. Alright. Alright. What if I got a first round buy? You got a buy. I'll say tails. Alright. Tails it is. Yes sir. Good luck. Alright the battle begins. Kill it. Is this me or you? I don't have any of those. Killer combo. I think what I'm going to do is not wear my hoodie under this costume because it's so stupid warm. Going to give it a little break here, folks. Nick's a stickler. Well, you know, if I'm going to win, I might as well win fair and square. Little Nick Stickler. Um, I'm missing something. My marbles. Come on, baby. Money. Katrina Zimmerman. Likes to send me pictures of her freaking cat on Snapchat. It's really weird. Snapchat. Her actual cat. Did the game get really sensitive all of a sudden? Yeah, it got really emotional. We just got a little... His mask is kind of imposter-worthy. Come on! It helps him win. I want a beer BRB cut off your Yeah beer RB Oh, God. What am I doing? The choice of a new generation. To answer the guilt question, I think it's not been that. It's been about as sensitive. We've just been shaking it. No, people are just shaking it a lot more right now. Yeah. There's a lot of salt. Yeah, all the salt. Definitely a lot of salt. This is not healthy. What do you wish, buddy? I'll make it happen. But I have to play a tournament and try to be good. I have to drink eight beers. Will you drink my beers? Yes, I will do all that for you. I need to drink fancier beers, though, because this is a no-cut. No-cut. What? Okay, I'm over it. I'm already drunk. There it goes. Yo, nice slapping, man. Oh shit, it's Vince. Boom. Twice. But I can target. You gotta say when you hit the flippers and it helps a lot. Okay. I have to hit it. I could have fucking hit the thing Don throw up on the glass Maggots I get did a giant cleaning bill in the cabin Mm No one wants to clean puke off of a glass. Get out of the way! See? Oh! Oh, it happened to you too! That happened to me yesterday. What happened? It goes up, in, and out. Oh, I've had that. I don't even understand how it's possible. I don't either. Oh, God. today, so we're all lucky. That's what I'm saying. Yours was off the target. Yours went through the lock. All the way in. No, during practice. Like, yeah, no, I got a brick from the target. Yeah, absolutely. But I had one where it popped in. Do you still have that Costco beer? Yeah. Miller Lite. My favorite. I have nothing to say about this beer. It is moist. It's pretty wet. I mean, it's in the fridge, so it's cold, too. Have you ever had the Walgreens beer? Big Flats? That's just good. Yeah, it's like the three-buck Chuck's. That stuff's good. Gavin loves it. Gavin, what did I say? It's delicious. All right. For $3 for a six-pack in Chicago? So things are pretty terrible for me. It's better than Miller Lite. I've got nothing going on. Better than PBR. Only one lock. Don't tell my friends I said that. Better than PBR. Almost as good as Schlitz. Almost as good as Blue. The Bat Blue. The Bat Blue. It's so worth saying. The Bat Blue. He put that as his name on the machine. The Bat Blue. Oh, that gave you three locks right there. That's so insane. All right, well, let's see if that stands up. Probably, well. You never know with old Hamfist Campbell over here. What'd you say? Get out of the way. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh! That was some shit. He still has to make a shot. With a double bonus. Not if he can't. That's a fair assessment. That's the end. Now he's done. That's the initial. All right, Nick Campbell wins. Mark it down. Can you get Batmobile, Batpod lit during this? Or no? I don't know. Can you hurry up so you can get the hurry ups during this? I had a triple multiball once with all three multiballs. Hog, welcome back. Nothing is up. We're having a single elimination tournament, and we may have to have another because that went way too quick. That went way too quick. I mean, I don't have to play out, but... Yeah, maybe you shouldn't. As soon as my ball saves off, I'll stop playing. Yeah, maybe you shouldn't. I just had nothing. I had one lock and nothing. Hooper jackpot. Hooper jackpot. All right. That's a win, I guess. Nick's rubbing it in. So guess who's next? Nick Campbell versus Gavin Miller on Dark Knight. Dark Knight? Yeah, we're playing Dark Knight. Where's that penny? Oh, the official. Yeah, here, I'll look that up. This machine looks so cool. It is so cool. Who is that? Is that someone we know? No. It's someone I know through the stream. This game actually was beating my ass earlier, Hog. All right. We've been playing this all week, and the first two days I couldn't put up any score on this. And then I put up grand champ on it last night. Look at yesterday's broadcast, like the last five minutes, I just tear this thing in your ass. Pardon me, I didn't mean to say tear it in your ass, all I meant to say. What are you saying? Hey! Book him. Book him. Book him. Clean horse, clean. How am I mic'd right now? Bye, Cam. Sorry, folks. Try not to be loud here. There we go. Hey, Jack Danger. Welcome to the strum, everybody. So when this first came out, they used to have one of these at Shoeboats. The salt. It's this machine. Yes, all the salt, buddy. So this is actually almost always. Please. I've played this Batman in many different places now. Many, many places. You grew up with this Batman. Yeah, this Batman, you know, I've seen sometimes. What is that? No. An operator had it, and he only had like two pinball machines for his entire route. And then he lost the shooter's location. I helped him fix it one time, because he was not aware of software updates or the problem with the Batman motor. So I left a card on there, and sure enough, he called me like two weeks later. And so I fixed it for them, got it updated. The guys at the location were much happier with the game. And it was great until they decided to remodel and add an extra table in the place where the pinball machine was. Yeah. I was so disappointed. Yeah, I played this. Wow, I can't believe that this was the same battle. Don't start crying on me, dude. I'm crying a little bit. Going for the hurry up. Not doing the double it? I doubled it. I shoot that left ramp. I didn't build it up. Oh, is he doing the Billy maneuver? The Bill Paxton maneuver? Yeah, when I played this back in, was this what, 2007? No, I think 2008 is when this one came out. Okay, yeah, when I played this in 2008, I thought this was just, when I saw the crane coming, I thought this was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. I get a lot of feedback about that from more novice players. They love that, and it's got a good tactile feel to it. Yeah. Like, hitting that and the noise it makes, there's something about that spring that's on there that just makes it feel like you rocked that hit. Well, yeah, and I wasn't really super into pinball at that time, and I would agree with that. Like, yeah, it felt really tactile. I knew exactly what I was doing, and the light show for it was pretty impressive. Well, not the slingshot light show. That's just an annoying... I know that's a Gavin special. That's a Gavin original. I know slingshots are Gavin specials, but even at the time, I was impressed by those. Is that a Batman spotlight at the top? I don't know. At the top of what? Yeah. Oh, yes. There is a Batman spotlight, but I don't know how you can see that. You absolutely cannot see that. It's not on the... It's not on the strom. Wouldn't that be cool if they had a spotlight for this, which flashed, and they just had a Batman cut out in front of it? Anyone? Yeah, no kidding. Come on. That idea I'll give you for free. You can have it for free. If this gets a vault edition and it doesn't have that, you're pointed. That's the topper. That's the Batman spotlight. What? Why are you guys talking? I saw an aftermarket one for this. Really? That's cool. Jeff Danger. Yeah, sorry, Hog. I'm not, I guess, I don't know. I'm an idiot. Sorry. I've been drinking. By the way, where's... Gavin's burning it up. Trying to get that guy, yeah. Alfredo? Yeah. Alfredo Robinson. And here's to you, Alfredo Robinson. Gavin's doing really well, first of all. I should do the multiball. He does hold it. Oh, there you go. Did you get your add-a-ball? Yes. Oh, no, it didn't. Where is that add-a-ball from? It's Alfred. See the red arrow in the far right here? And how do you light up? That I don't know. That I don't know. Okay. This comes lit every now and then. It's like a circle and it spins. Oh, Hogg. Actually, what that is, it's a cylinder trash can looking device that has Gotham printed on it. and when it turns, the Joker toy is inside of there, and he's on a spring sort of looking like he's giggling at you. Oh, I almost had it. That's a toy that's a lot more interesting in theory. They could have done so much more with that. Many, many more things with it. What are those animation devices where it's a cylinder with a light in the middle that spins? Oh, like the... A Zootrope? They could have built the freaking Zootrope out of that thing of, like, Batman cruising on his bike. Light off of it. I mean, they kind of had a little bit of that with the Star Trek premium spinning. Like laser light show. Laser light show. Gavin Miller. Wow. There's no telling. Solid shove, Hamfist. Okay, good chicken. There's a little salt on that. Yeah. Just a touch. Touch of the salt. Don't look at that. That's for the people watching to get sick and have headaches. Currently playing is our man, the bat. Ball in, clean. Oh, why? Clean. What do you think you're doing? I hate you. Come on, baby! No, get the hell out of the way! The Scarecrow. Ah, screw it. I'm done. Fuck that. CSI Centrifuge, best spinning pinball thingy. It's pretty fun. Yeah, that thing's fun. I've only played CSI like once or twice. Go to Rainbow. man they got one right now. They have a Star Trek. Oh really? They have a Star Trek now. It was an X-Men and then that X-Men is down at Pilsen. Wow you guys should build a tracker to see where these games are moving. It's like tracking Buffalo. Black Batman used to be a shooter on Pulaski Pulaski and Halstead. It's a nice one. A cool bar and a Pulaski and Halstead. But we're not Pulaski. Batman. Bless you. Bless you right in the ass. I like that. I appreciate that. You just want me to sneeze out to the public? Yeah, yeah. Skylark. Thanks, Skylark. It is the Skylark. 50 points. Skylark has what? It has X-Men. The CSI? I know. Skylar has the X-Men that used to be... We don't know where the... The CSI is probably sitting in a warehouse somewhere. Probably on Western Avenue. How many CSIs were made? Not a lot. Nothing. Not really. Nothing. CSI, 24, those are all kind of low. Yes, they were. Getting their hold, thank you. I've only played CSI after 24, like, in one seat. Straight up now, Tommy. The GoldenEye Magnet ball save. Oh, in New York. Yeah, reciprocal skating. Reciprocal is awesome. He has a bar now called Jack Bar. Yeah. Which is really cool. Yeah, that's my bar. But there's Modern Pinball, which is just the showroom. The old guard gentleman opened that place up. Yeah, Steve Zahler, who used to own Broadway, Arcade. And Epstein's part of that, too, isn't he? Not Steve Zahler. Yeah, it's Epstein. I don't know where Zahler came from. We're just making up names now. Also, Jimmy Zing Zang. Oh, Jimmy Zing Zang. And Mooney Brumbrun. Mooney Brumbrun. A little vodka, man. Jimmy Zing Zang. Jimmy Zing Zang. All right, Gavin gives me some room there. City Hall Uncovered? What? Mark Sheridan? What? Maybe that's, you know, that's probably the same CSI. Yeah, they... That's got to be the same CSI. There's also, like... Stuff's pretty incestuous. Some diner in the loop, which has, like, a family guy, I think. But I haven't ever gone to check that out. Why not? Because I just assumed that it was in bad shape. Oh, yeah. If I haven't heard of it before, it's probably in terrible condition. Yeah, if no one is talking about it. It's an undiscovered location. There's a place far on the north side that has a fish tail that's supposed to be in good shape. Oh, an airport, I believe. Yeah, like up near there. near there and yeah they're they're like too far yeah no one wants to drive the hell I think the furthest I'm willing to travel is double bubble to play they're terribly taking care of guy that there's guys looking at it but you can look at all you want you got to fix it what's your guys's favorite pinball machine great question it's hard to answer but ben go what do you got uh my favorite is uh funhouse funhouse i'm not that's not even the one i'm the best at. Right now I'm the best at Star Trek. But Funhaus is your go-to to have fun? It's more like nostalgic reasons. When I was a little kid, that was the game that I loved in pinball, was Funhaus. So I thought that the talking head and all that was really cool. Super creep tone? So it's like there are other games I enjoy more. Maybe my Desert Island game would be ACDC, because there's just a lot. Me too, absolutely. But like Funhouse, I would love to have one in my house because it just seems like anyone should play it. Yeah, agreed. Gavin, is that even answerable for you? Favorite game? Favorite game? It's hard because there are just so many. Atari. Gun to your head. What's your favorite game? I know there's a lot of different ones I like to play. Certain ones do stick out more than others. Red and Ted's Roadshow is one of them. Yeah. Actually, who said that last time they were here? Probably me. Oh, fuck. Because I don't think anybody else does. Yeah, Red Dead Redemption. It just has a very deep rule set to that game. Really? Roadshow? Yeah. Huh. I've only played that one a couple times. A guy who's interested in the league that just moved into town mentioned to me that he has a roadshow. And he said, I think I'm the only person that likes it, so you should be friends. That's great. I'm going to have money again, and I don't think we'll ever fix it, but you'll enjoy it. I also like... Star Trek is... Hogg's favorite is Star Trek. Star Trek's a lot of fun. I've never played any Star Trek. Wait, you're not talking about the new Star Trek, are you? I didn't say mine. I said... You don't like Star Trek. I don't even like the show, Star Trek. I love the television program, Star Trek. I don't like the words Star or Trek. It's a terrible bike, right? There's a bike called the Star Trek? Yeah, right? That's what we're talking about, right? Bicycles? My two faves are... Fear Magic, Black Rose. That's an interesting choice. And any music-based band. Including Rolling Stone? Oh, baby. Yeah, come on. Wait, there's two Rolling Stones. Oh, yeah. Stern Rolling Stone is a bit of a... Yeah, hold on. Thank you, Crane, on that one. Thank you, Crane. Jack Danger here. My favorite pin would have to be ACDC. Regardless of how much I love other games, I can just play that freaking thing forever. There's just so much to do. Yeah. And it's really difficult. There's a lot to do. So I lost my bad mission. I should have collected it. Wait. Is Bob calling you an STD? Or is he trying to call you stud? Yeah. Am I a sexually transmitted disease? Benjamin is a fucking STD. I think you meant to say stuck. I'm going to need a better answer. Jaded, Bram Stoker's Dracula also is up there for sure. Give it to me. I like anything that is obnoxiously difficult. Like Iron Man? I love Iron Man. Iron Man is a fun game. Barf town. I have a lot of, like, arguments with people about Iron Man. Like, they're like, the game sucks, and you're like, no. Yeah, they're like, there's nothing going on. Nick Campbell. Yay, victory once. Hold on. I'm a win. Hold on. I think you played the band. And now it's. What game is very much a monster bash? You and me, buddy. And also am I an STD or a stud? We need that answer. A-S-A-P. S-T-D. S-T-D. I like all those things like... Heads or tails? I call tails. Beer or neck? All right. Tails. Monster danger. Oh, I get to go first. I'm beer-ing it. I'm going first against Gavin. This is the finals, and then we might play... Yeah, we'll play another one real quick. Yeah, I mean, it doesn't start until seven, and it won't start on time. My nemesis is Monster Bash. No way, man. That game is the business. There is so much to do on that game. All right, so I'm playing Gavin, which means this is his table, and he's going to destroy me. We'll go for Joker skillshot first. Starkman. How you doing, buddy? Good to see you. Brad Zac Stark's behind me. He's dressed as Ed from Shaun of the Dead. Oh, Bob finally gave me an answer. Oh, you're an STD? It's your personality. You freaking dildo! Ha ha ha! Is this my beer? There's so many Miller Lights everywhere. Yeah. Let me get this. Gavin Miller running free run, Gavin. Open the hole quickly. That just tripped out right there. Oh, really? Yeah. We're going to play. We'll play again. I haven't played too many EMs in my day. Jaded, EMs are the business, man. It's a whole new way of playing because, like, everything you know about drop catches and life catches sort of change when you play in an EM plus there's a whole different skill set as far as like tap passes and stuff that you get to use shat sing or in passing people really want to see hot shot next week I'm gonna I'm gonna leave it up to a vote I love, I like Fireball VMs and the various Eldorados. Oh, EM means electromechanical games, so the old, like, reel-to-reel, ding-ding-ding type of machines. Like, if you ever watch a TV show and it shows a new pinball machine, but it plays bells. Yeah. If it has a physical bell in it. Yeah. Wait, does the Wizard of Oz machine actually have a physical bell? Or is it a really good audio clip? Fire has a physical bell. Oh, like outside sitting on top of the machine. Yeah, that doesn't count. Jack Danger is an STD. Thanks, Bob. Damn it. I'll just assume you meant stud. Gavin Killing it Yeah Alright I got the Nine Inch Nails song So we're going to go for Scarecrow So you can backhand the Scarecrow Oh wait Scarecrow's already out We got to work on Joketown So that's lock one. Keep your eye on it. I was going to say do explaining EM, but we already did. We can do it again. Just let us know. Explaining an EM. What would be the quickest definition of explaining an EM, like the date? It has score reels instead of anything like that. Score reels. So it has like physical reels in the back that display your score versus like an electromechanic or a DMD or a solid state. Yeah. Well, DMDs are solid state machines. You son of a bitch. Excuse me. The difference between having a motor as its brain or a processor. Isn't that supposed to stop that from rejecting? Picture the game. You're like haunting me or something. Kind of like the, totally. Wait, is that the right terminology? When the phone rings. Stop haunting me. Ringtone? Sure. You remember like when. What's the ringtone? That's an audio clip. Yeah, like the default pinball audio clip on phones and on iPhones, that's an EM. No! EM, Electromechanical Ding Ding Ding Real Real Game. I know, but the sound that the phone makes when you choose pinball on your iPhone. Oh, God, yeah, okay. That kind of works. But it stands for Electromechanical. Hog, it's a really early game, a really, really early game. They're ding-dongs. Officially they're called that. They're ding-dongs. Oh yeah, yeah. The technical term that they used, God please, Williamson Valley. But, uh... Like, we're gonna have to stop working on all these ding-dongs. Or replacing them with bleep loops. Bleep loops? This thing has some serious, uh... Some whiz banks? I thought you weren't drinking, you freaking nerd. I gave up. I gave up not drinking. Okay. This has some serious... So here's what we're going to do. That smells like Christmas. It tastes like marijuana. Marijuana. Does it? Drink your marijuana. I would know. Thanks. It's been clean for a while. Donate to kids. Donate to kids, folks. Whenever someone says something bad, just yell, donate to kids. I got no hippie friends. I know what it smells like. Hippie ding-dongs. Well, you got hippie ding-dongs. You got a hippie ding-dong Hail Mary. Hippie ding-dong Hail Mary. This is terminology, son. You got hippo ding-dongs. Beep, boop, beep, boop, boop, boop. Are you afraid? Why are you slapping me No I going to shoot now I never played Timeline but Flightsport and Paragon are awesome Oh, Paragon's the shit. I love, yeah. Oh, Fathom? Fathom? You've played Fathom, right? Is it at Papa? It probably is. I've got a sizable amount of money not ever having been there. It is definitely there. I've played it at Kinberg. And like, all those... What? Freezing? Everyone's having freezing dinner nets? Stop freezing dinner nets. Oh, is it because the internet is crappy? I think it's because everyone's Dropboxes are Dropboxes. No, I don't like Dropboxes. I mean, it's also... There's also the potential that there's some big streaming event on Twitch. Yeah, you know what, folks? Honestly, Twitch has been a bit of a piece of crap the past couple days. They're not your sponsor, right? No, we're not. Wait, what's that? You need to get some fiber on here. Why, are you a regular? No, I'm just saying it for the Twitch stream. That would solve the problem. Duh. Well, our download looks good. Let's see what our upload's doing. That's not a problem. Come on. Yeah, if it's over two, we're fine. It's probably Twitch being weird. Yeah, sorry, folks. Twitch is probably being a jerk right now. Or, yeah, it could be Obonk as well. Or it's Obama's fault. You know, every time he comes into Chicago, there's tons of... Hold on. Let me go check on something real quick while Gavin destroys me. Traffic, Internet. Yeah, the Lake Shore Drive and the... Let's go check. The end switch is running again. Then I'll send you. There we go. Right? Oh, did you get it? Ah, shit. Let's keep missing out for... EM isn't a pinball when an abacus is a calculator. Oh, not a calculator. That's the same thing. Oh, it's got the loopy thing. Loopy? Yeah, we're getting some loops here, too. All that's doing, I think, is it delays the... Oh, yeah. I don't even see myself. All right. Ooh. Okay. Okay. Stop freezing. Come on. Come on. Come on. I'm sorry. There's a lot of people who walked out of the scene. Good ball. I'll take that one. Holy sharts. Here. Hot Town, Charleston City. All three, y'all. I like this song. The Freezing, huh? It really shouldn't be Freezing. Fireball culture is the jam. I don't think that's an EM though. Fireball is an EM. You're thinking Firepower. There is Fireball Classic, which my parents have, which is very much the same. So I am in jail right now, folks. Yeah, I know. Your scoring is also like 10 times higher. Maybe I'm beating a fireball. The fireball too. Nelson's skill shot is complete. The shot itself is different, but the reward is way future. Way future? Way future. Well, then we get the skill shot. Almost too much on you. Gavin wins! Good win, Gavin. The skill shot on a fireball is a lot of fun. It's the jets for 3,000 to hit, which is huge. And I think the skill shot on fireball is original. There we go. Finally, I get the super skill shot. Oh, man. Want to make internet, Fastor, please. Just Twitch being a ding dong. I don't want no fiber. Comcast or Google? Comcast. I'll take that Google internet. Chicago is not on the list of cities that they're wanting to do it. I think they're doing middle-sized cities first because doing a huge city would... Are we doing one more real quick? You want to? Yep. We'll make it fast. Go turn that ball save off. That'll help. Gavin, can you turn the ball save off for me, buddy? Yeah, totally. Thanks, man. Are we starting over? Are we? Yeah, we're starting over. Oh, cool. Seems to be working now. Guys, again, so this problem's been happening all week. It's something with Twitch. I was trying to watch someone stream last night from my house, and it was just unbearable, and I'm not sure what the hell's going on. It's almost constantly me against you. It would have been you and me. I know. Yeah. All right, here we go. Square knockout. Right-starting thing. Hey, here we go. Fathom kicks serious ass. Beautiful and great play. Peter's minwan. All right, let's put the coin. All right, folks, remember, there is no more ball save. We turned the ball save off. We just made the game harder. Dance. God damn it. You can go first, brah. I guess I will. That's right, brah. All right, brah. A little bit of a move. Thank you, everyone. Let's not fuck this one up, too, huh? You know, I don't think I've ever played a Fathom before. Tales of Arabian Nights is freaking incredible. And Spider-Man, if you're talking about Stern Spider-Man, is a lot of fun. No, is that the wide body? Yeah, that thing's a monster. It's like Superman. The thing's like huge, double wide. Is that the Atari? Is that the Atari? Cool. Yancy, I think it was you fixing it, buddy. Ben will play shortly. Oh, wait. Ben's playing right now. Oh, that's great. Is that the video feed that's on there right now? Hold on. I'm fucking refreshing it. I was wondering because I'm enjoying watching myself play. You just stare at yourself all day, brother. All day, baby. I like it when I win. I like it when I win. I'll just take the 500. I'm trying to get the scarecrow thing started. Thank you, Yancy. I haven't played Monopoly, but I also haven't... I haven't heard very good things about Monopoly. It's at the closet in Boys Town. at the closet in Boys Town. It's not in bad shape either. I just don't like coming out of there. Heyo. I feel pretty good getting in there, but you never want to leave. No, you don't. Jokes. Okay. My girlfriend has been dying to play it since getting Pimble Arcade on her phone. That's awesome, man. Yeah, I'm going to have to play it too because I haven't played it before. Super safe. There's no curse mode in it. Where's the fucking money? Hey, do I have a beard? Is that my beard? Is that yours? I need a Miller light. Toton? Oh. Tales of the Arabian Nights. Tales of the Arabian Nights. I'm glad you understand the shorthand. Hey, are you drawing graffiti on this? Yeah, totally. This is Gaffer's tape. It won't work. The switch is a little flaky. On what? The Monopoly at the closet. What are you looking at? There's a huge scuff mark right here. From what? I think the closet has the Monopoly. Somebody kicked Batman. Damian Hartin? Yeah. God! It's a fireball home bottle. Doesn't that not have the multi-balls? You're correct. It only has one ball in the game. Does it also have the fireball, like the spinning? No. So it's just kind of... It's like Hocus Pocus, only they removed a spinner. Hocus Pocus by Focus? That's a great song. Hocus Pocus by Focus? Is this Hocus Pocus? They also removed the rollovers on the play field. It's basically the story behind that. Hog, your dad's pissed that you're the grand chef on T2. Guns N' Roses will never be on Pinball Arcade. Why? Because of the status of Guns N' Roses. GNR hates life. GNRs love GNRs life. Thanks, Trent. Did you watch that? Yeah. I hate that I saw that. What is it? Don't. No, it doesn't matter. I don't care. I don't want people to know. I moved that for you so you're not too... What are you talking about DNR? Adam's Family. I would think, actually, that Adam's Family and Pinball Arcade would probably come. I wouldn't be surprised if it's December. But maybe early next year. Shrek? Adam's Family. Oh, Adam's Family. Yeah, they got a... They're going to be on Pinball Arcade because they finally hammered out all the rates for it. I couldn't imagine. You got to get the rights for the song. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Yeah, that's what I was saying. Oh, that's what I meant. Thanks, bud. You drunk already! Dad? I'm going to kill it tonight. Dad, I need help. Hey, will you ride your bike with me? Gavin the Tourney Pro just plunges and drains ball three. How far behind? Are you guys a... Oh, we're getting Google Fiber in Chicago? I'll take it. And you hold the left clipper up, you can clutch it. My idea is to plug it in the side, pick up the space, and then pull it. Now I'm stepping into the Twilight Zone. This is the night. One of the licenses they said they had to get for the Adams family was from, like, MC Hammer. because I think it's so much a little right. Adam's family think he did. They do what they want to do, say what they want to say, live how they want to live, play how they want to play. That's an MC Hammer song for Adam's family. They had to also, they cut out Christopher Lloyd from the backlash on the Pinball Arcade version. They couldn't afford him. Really? For some reason, his people and the Pugsley people, Pugsley, come on. It's Pugsley. What else you got going on? Pugsley! Are you watching this? You know he is. Christopher Lloyd is crying in his bed right now. Like, these guys just hate me right now. I'm taking names. I never wanted to be on the Pimajita the first place. Son of a bitch. Huxley, this is your fault. Bam. That's a win. That's a win? It's a win for BS. We don't know. We don't know. Anything can happen. You can get that mode that takes away points. Yo, I play you, bro. All right, flip. Flip, kid. You grab. It's like you're playing Bugs Bunny and you get swapped. Heads. Heads. It's a head. Folks, I will be a courteous host and let Nicholas Campbell go first. I don't even know the actor's name. Oh, the fat kid. Yeah, who played the fat kid? Let's see. Yeah, let's Google that shit. Donate to children, folks. It's for the kids. It's for the kids. Why do you hate Monopoly? I seriously hate Monopoly. Absolutely. Okay, well, I'll say I hate playing the board game. Oh, yeah, the board game is deeply boring. You know who loves Monopoly? Who? Art Dodd. Art Dodd? Yeah. The game? Wait, the pinball machine? The pinball guy. Yeah, he likes the Monopoly pinball machine. Oh, the pinball machine's different than the board game. Maybe he'll be at the lunch party tonight. We can get his feelings on that. The lunch party. Jimmy Workman was Pogsley. Jimmy Workman? That's not a real fucking name. Dude, he's got his photo. Straight from Pogsley. No, in the new movies. Oh, that's him. I am Jimmy Workman. They were even able to get the Royal Julia estate. That's supposed to be impossible. So let's all be real. Someone just called me, and I missed it. And I think. He was in Adam's Family, Adam's Family Values, As Good As It Gets, Christmas in Connecticut, To Kill a Mockumentary. To Kill a Mockumentary. I've never heard of it. I'm from Connecticut. I think Jody just called me. Oh, really? Yeah. We talked to him. Where are you guys? Huh? Whose stream? This stream. Yeah, we talked to that ding dong. And he's going to talk to us at the party. Actually, no, I don't know whose number that was. Mom, if that was you, I apologize. I don't like talking to you anyway. Demented Warlock, I grew up with a fireball classic in my house. So we're a real fireball crowd here. Oh, you are a nerd. I had a we had a fireball and a jungle king which was a a gotley bm wait who's nick playing right now you why are you still playing then because i'm winning hey why is that giving up you're gonna lose oh he's going for his jokers i mean i don't want to hear more on why you hate monopoly. Ding dong. Oh, and he nails it. Doesn't matter. Just let it drain, buddy. Don't risk a tilt. I assume I wish. Well, that would probably require the other one. They want to play this one. I want to do them. The Adams family. The Adams. The Adams. Yeah, man. So good. The Adams. I definitely have not set that up. Tour the Mansion ten times. Anyone like T2 or Road Kings? The only two that your dad owns? Which one's Road Kings? Road Kings is 86 Williams. It's like a motorcycle gang sort of thing. Gang kind of home warrior feel to it. I'm not familiar with that one at all. It's an all right game, but it's pretty linear. It has a two-ball multiball. What the fuck is this guy doing? He's winning. I want to say Mark Ritchie. Oh, okay. I believe that's who did it. Mark Ritchie. Does it have the cross ramps? It has one ramp in the center that splits. It goes either way. Okay. You owe me a lower third after this, buddy. and it's blocked by a drop party. Oh! Do what? I give everyone lower thirds. I don't always get them myself. I'll make sure you do. T2 is definitely fun. I'll make sure you do. Once you get good at super jackpots, you know how to operate it? Yeah. Okay. Nick Campbell with 32 on ball one. He cheated, so we'll find out what he did. Here we go. He got like a 60 or 70 on ball one yesterday and put out great champs finally. I got that text. Love the board game. Hit the pinball machine. Love the board game? That game's boring. I've got a lot of money working on Monopoly. Did you play it right? There's one lot. Good show, son. Unless he played four cash games in Monopoly. Cash games with Monopoly? Monopoly, right? Redompoli? What's Hogg saying? So there's our second Joker lock. I'm a boy. Second Joker lock. We're going to shoot. I thought that was going to travel more than good. Brad is correct. I fucking love Monopoly. Nick, the gamble candle. Donate to kids. Thanks, Mark Sheridan. Watch your mouth. Donate to kids. Mark, donate to kids. Drain your balls. Donate to kids. Ding dong. It's the brother of the guy who made YouTube. Yeah, Mark Ritchie. That's the name of the part that says Brad is correct because I said that. Shut up, everyone. Fish Tales is probably his most famous game. Fish Tales is Mark Ritchie. Indiana Jones. The good one. I like Indiana Jones. The good one. Diner, Taxi, Taxi also? Yeah, Taxi is more crazy. Sorcerer. Sorcerer. I'm pretty sure he did Sorcerer. Isn't Big Guns his? Biggins? Big Guns. I think it is. Biggins. Yeah, Big Guns. But I know Python works heavily on that game as well. He was, I mean, for a little while, him and Python did a bunch of things. I guess they did. I did it. Taxi, and they did. I got a super skill shot. They both designed Pitch Tales together. Yeah. I got the super skill shot. What's the super skill shot? The super ball hang-up. Oh. Oh, I did that the other day. Yeah, that's not on tape. Thanks, sir. I prefer stars, but medals will do. Love to have a fireball collection. A complete fireball collection? So fireball ham, fireball salad steak, fireball two, and then you need the fireball hook game, too. Fireball classic, as well. Fireball Classic. Really shot the fireball whiskey. Wasn't that whiskey cold? Yes, Todd. Because it had too much of the heads or tails or whatever. The whiskey. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh, it had too much of the devil's cut or the angel's share? Yeah. The glycol. The ethylene glycol. Yeah, that's it. Or propylene glycol. The stuff that gets you real drunk. And keeps your car running. Nice and cool. Yeah, radiator. Ethylene glycol. But that's just bad distilling. I don't know. Well, if you like Fireball to begin with, you know. That's the problem. Right. Beef spangler. Thank you. That would be... That's the full beef. Down with harmony. That's the full beef. Why did that happen? Because you're ham-fist in the game. I guess I got a little excited. MC Hammer just made 14 cents in royalties by us singing. Wait, wait. We got royalties for singing? No, MC Hammer got us in trouble. Oh, now we have to paint him again. Dance how you want to dance. That's all right. He'll just get it to the kids. Adam. Whoop, whoop, Adam. All right, so donate to kids. I got... And, like, that's just if you see a child. I'm in jail. Yeah, if you see a kid, just give him a frickin' dollar. Be like, kid, you're not looking so hot. Here's a book. Well, first off, I want to do that. Shut up, this is my Halloween costume. Are you a zombie? No. I am a zombie. So, Scarecrow. And then we're going to go for Joketoon. Is your name Colin? Jokeport? Colin Shots. You're going for Joketoon? Ladies, they call me Colin. Get the fuck out of the way. You know, if you hit the ball now, it won't go back to that spot. But if I hit the ball now, it's going to go... Yeah, it's going to go right off the drop target. Hit it when it moves over to the other spot. All right. Because it's a fucker. Yeah. Last move. My man. No, go out of the way. It's horrendous. The voice is so bad. All right, so now that we're in Joker, we're going to light up Scarecrow as well. Whose voice is this? I thought it was Sandman. Whose voice is this? All right, so. You got Joker going? Yep, just one more hit to scare-row. Scare-quan. Just like that. They call me Scare-quan. Scare-quan. Say nice and stacked. Got two stacked. I'm double stacked and my super jackpot for Joker is open. You got Ataball. I got Ataball with Alfred. Yep. Nice job. And there's the super jack. There's the train. There's no rainbow. Uh-oh. Everybody out. Watch out. Oh, everybody's out swimming. What's going on? Everybody out of the pool. Oh, good. Gotcha. Super jackpot for Scarecrow's lit. So once he gets out of the flipping way, we'll miss it. You do that, but now you've got to multiply or leave for that. I just need my hands on the ball. There you go. Here it is. And he gets double. Double super. Jackpot. Starkman with the jackpot voice. Jackpot. I think. Oh, no. That was almost a double ding dong. Love you. Live you. Hit Alfred. Yes, I hit it. I'm going to locate the juggler. Locate the juggler. Extra K-Low. Extra K-Low. Is anyone reading the strum right now? I can't look over there. Not really, but I'll read it. That's 11. Why is there a huge crane in the game? We talked about that the other day. I think it's because the sphere froze. Last name is crane. Yeah, his name's Jonathan Crane. Jonathan Crane. So we think that that's where they got that. But also it's cool. That's the other reason. Gotcha. Gotcha. So there's no scene in the movie where they're like fighting on a crane. No, no, not at all. Not on the movie? Isn't there? Nope. There's no scene with the crane? No swerve. Doesn't Dark Knight have something with that? So I need to get it in the back again to light up my multiball. So we'll try to backhand it, which never happens. But I located the joke word. All right, we got this. That was... Oh, that felt good. Yeah, here we go. That was freaking perfect, man. I'm just light. I'm just increasing the jackpots while I screw around. Nice shake. Mom. Call your mama. I have a multiball waiting for me if I can get it in there. Keep raising the jackpot. No raisins in your jackpot. Is this ball three or ball two It goes right Oh it ladies I don get why there a crane Yeah, one way. Don't you remember the big crane scene? Where they're like, here's a crane, watch out. There's just the construction crew in the back. You need to go over in the crane. Dude, you remember the climatic scene? It's in the super deluxe highlight. Get this crane out of here. Yeah, where Batman's greatest foe is the crane. I'm scared of cranes. That was, you know, like some people get upset that they add things to the movies that aren't in the comic books. But there was a comic book in the crane. Or there's a crane in the comic book. Oh, okay. What's with this freaking crane? It's actually a metaphor. Metal for? What's metal for? Well. Oh, baby. For pooping. For pooping, silly. That's the proper response. Oh, and he got a mode. He got a mode. A la mode. Hello. Rescue Rachel. That's okay, now. That's okay, now. You should just let Rachel die. Just let her die, man. No one likes. Which actress does this have? Jalen Hall. Jalen Hall. You just got five million for that? No, that's Jalen Hall. That's Jalen Hall. Oh, beef! Oh, beef! Yeah, I heard that. I heard that. Was that the Wheel of Fortune chime? It was. That's another game you're not going to find in a lot of places. Oh, I got some enough to do. That game they never finished. Yeah, Wheel of Fortune is undone. It has inserts that never play it, right? Coy Morris' favorite game, if you ask him. When you played it over at Chuba's. Yeah. Oh yeah, but I wasn't very good at pinball, so I just assumed I wasn't getting it. Nick's taking ding-dong shots. So, I mean, if you watch me play tonight, you probably think the same thing. Make your rescue with Rachel. Damn it. Stop grabbing her, dude. That's gross. Rescue Rachel's. Bounce it. Rescue Rachel's. Oh. Nice game. Ch-ch-ch-chippin' dales. Rescue Rachel's. All right, I need 20 million points, and I can do that with... Oh, I'm in jail, folks. I got nothing. Nice game. I'll put it past you, JD. Extricate, Laoh. Get the hell out. Laoh. Oh, wait, the ball saves off? No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. What happened? I let that go out because I thought the ball save was out. Did you let it go out? Did we announce the ball save? Should we rewind it where everybody's shouting ball saves are off? Yeah, let's see it. Ball saves are not off, motherfucker. And I had your... Donate to kids. Donate to kids. I had your lower third come up like... Donate to kids. All right, who's next? Oh, I got it. That pretty much leaves me. Why, Nick would be my next. Extricate. That's true. That's a guy I do have to play you. Gavin and Ben. Oh, is this a double? Oh, I thought we were playing singles. I'll play Gavin. Gavin wins. Bye, everybody. You only got to see me play twice. That's okay. I had my best game in practice, as is always. Right? As is always. I should be looking up walking dead strangers. Whoa, I just freaked. Dude, you literally put up my title as the ball drain. You're welcome. That was great. He says no, you're wrong. Good luck. Thank you. That's okay, Lau. I let that go. I could have saved it a million times over. So you guys are breaking over, so I can't ask you guys to do it. Oh, brutal. We're probably taking a tax we. I'm kind of concerned about going, because I want to go to this party. I don't want to miss out on this party. We're not going to miss out on the party. But what if we do good? Don't do good. Do well. Yeah, that man does good. All you need are your moderate points. There's no ball saving it. Let's see now. . Mark Sheridan, you want them walking dead strategies, huh? Shoot the jail, the prison. Shoot the well walker. Done. Call it a day. Call it a day. Take a nap. Take a nap. Oh, and use the multipliers. Yeah, all the multipliers. Pay attention. I want no multipliers. Seriously, light up one multiball. Use that multiball to get the other multiball. You just roll over the inlet. and then shoot something that's worth a lot of money, and then you take the money. That, of course, is until they updated the software yesterday. Who knows? Who knows? Are you sure it's going to be different? I bet the right flipper button makes the left flipper go crazy, and the left flipper button makes the jail open. And there's also the potential that they might have test software. You've played, like, four times as long. All right, so we're playing a text way, then? Yeah. Fabulous. Text way? Oh, careful, careful, careful. You have two things selected. Click that. There you go. Gavin's right there. I didn't pull him down. Here we go. No ball save. Twice. Screw no ball save. Yeah, hey. This is going to be a short championship. Don't fuck up. Okay. Donate to kids. Donate to kids. Just Trent Reznor. I feel like I'm at Neo. Yeah. Yancy is a moderator in our stream. Oh, nice. Yeah. Yancy who? Yancy B. Blaylock. Keeping it real. Holding it down. Oh, damn. You picked the game off the ground. I think that should, yeah. I don't know. It's my machine. I think that should be DQ. Oh, hey. DQ. DQ. Oh. I'll allow it. I'll allow it. I'll allow it. I'll allow it. That's a very clean if I've ever seen one. Tilt and tilt, folks. Tilt and tilt. Drain, drain, though. Drain still works. Drain still works. This is a real game right here. We're close. Yo, call up the high score guy with the shirt on. What? All three galaxies. We got that one. Guinness Book of World Records here, folks. Love and you. Have the tumbler fueled and ready. Is that a drink thing? No, it's a blog. Oh, it's a blog. Yeah. Gotcha. Yeah, yeah. It's a tumbler. Yeah, they're called tumblers. Gotcha. They're called tumblers. It isn't called a tumbler, though. Just in there. It's a tumbler. No. That's the bird. Like one tumble on your tumbler. No, I said that. It's like, how many tumbles do you have on your tumbler? I think I have 20. Hey, Jeff, he got red on you. Oh, buddy. Wait, are you going to? Where's your red, man? What's his name's got it on? Oh, yeah, he's got it. Clark Stanton. Didn't he try? Never mind. We're live. Donate to kids, folks. For the kids. This one's for the kiddies. This one's for the kids. For your health. The rear camera. The rear camera. Oh, dang. Darn. Spangberg. Oh, baby. Yo. The low scoring games are where it's at. I gotta work, folks. Where's the beef? We going down, down, baby. We're speeding in a Range Rover. Street sweeper, baby. Cock ready to let it go. Flip, flip the ladies. Eat your food and flip, flip the ladies. What do you call real food? They have Key Burritos next door. Key Burritos? Yeah, there's that Key Burrito place next door. Like two or three blocks south, there's Red Hot Ranch, which is really good hot dogs and fries. Oh, yeah, Red Hot Ranch isn't too far away. They're awesome. Like if you are a fan of Chicago-style hot dogs, they are among the best. We going down, down, baby. Feeding a range over street sweeper, baby. Cock. Anytime I get really drunk at looking. At home? You donate to kids. I donate to kids. That's the first thing I do. And then the second thing I do is go to Red Hot Ranch. Red Hot Ranch. Donate to kids. They donate to kids, too. We all do. Uh-oh. He's coming for me. Is this ball three? Yeah. Totally fall free. All we got, folks. Worst beer. Dad beer. Dad beer. I love this. Dad beer. Dad beer, the official sponsor. It's a target. Yeah, right? Dad noises, dad beer. He got a joker, Jay. Extra balls. Extra balls. How much is that extra ball? $5. Let's find out. You got $5? Oh, the bill acceptor or the bill outspitter. What's a word for that? The bill acceptor? Yeah, but what is a bill acceptor that gives you money, not takes it in? That makes you the bill acceptor. Oh, I'm the bill acceptor. Dispenser, thank you. God damn it, I'm an idiot. Donate to kids. For the kids! Oh! Oh! You got slingshorted, folks. Good ball, my man. That's a lot of points, though. So I've got to go for the double stack. I already got the ding-dong open. I've got to get the Joker going. Where are the girls in the giant black one-piece dreadlocks? Dude, Neo, let's go. Let's go right now. Doesn't it sound like we're at Neo? Neo is the worst place on the face of the earth. And yet the best. Yeah. I honestly, I never want to go, but when I'm there, I'm like, okay. Yeah. Okay. I can do this. I've never been to Neo. Well, I mean. I've never had that experience. I've heard many stories. I will never go of my own. You know what? It's just the one place I think you can go in the city and just do whatever the fuck you want. Nobody gives a shit. I could probably name a few places in the city. You got the manhole. No, that's closed. No, but you know what I mean? It's like you go and you can just be weird and awkward and do whatever and nobody cares. It's a really accepting place, I guess. Yeah, accepting. How would you describe it? Completely, you hit the nail on the head. Accepting is the best word for that. You could come dressed however the crap you want, and everyone will be just absolutely fine with it. Let your feet play. Let your feet play? Like, uh... Lakeview. Yeah. It's like Belmont and... Or no, Fullerton. It's right by that Five Guys and that bar called Raven's. Yeah. Okay. There's stuff. I think it's over there. Oh, yeah? I was just at Neo the other night, man. I tried calling you. It's Polaris, the band from Peep Peep. Yeah, I heard it was awful. I enjoyed it. I'm not sure you're going to know. What did your friends have to say about it? It was horrible. What? Oh, really? I don't know. Polaris, the company that makes snowmobiles. Yeah. I like Mark McCauley a bit. I'm a bombardier. Bombardier. Bombardier. Yep. That's one. Toweling off right now. Oh, Nick. Hit that shit. Donate to kids. That will be a reset. Oh, that's another one out of the pool. Two slurs left. Can he keep the turd from scaring him away? Love each other. That's a collection. Oh, that's the end of that one. Oh, doublers are lit, my man. You got your double ready. The double bubbles. Choose your shot wisely. Choose wisely. All right, so Nick is 10 million away. He's got his doublers lit. He just needs to not dunk. He needs to be solid, yeah. As opposed to doing that all the time. You shot for the most dangerous thing four times and it eventually killed you. Is that it? That's it. Me versus Gavin. That's it? I think it's me versus Gavin. Oh, no. Zac Stark has to play again. I even lost. Yeah, that's the last one. That doesn't... Yeah, me versus... Yeah, because I lost and... All right. Brad and Gavin. So, yeah. Brad and Gavin. All right, folks, this is the finale. Brad Starr versus Gavin Miller. All right, Gavin Miller, everybody. This is the last game, and then we've got to rush over to Logan Arcade to play some Walking Dead. And then leave. I think it's worth the money for the points that we're going to get. Just don't do good. Do well. But don't do terribly. Just right in the middle. Throw up a 12 and go home. I'm going to start by my mic. And so I'll see you guys later. Okay. You're catting. We're catting. Yeah. Logan. Original Logan Arcade. Logan Arcade. There's only one. Maybe for a little bit. I got a show. There's a Logan Hardware, the record store. There's Logan and Corian. There's just one in Arcade. No. Zespi's house. Go to Zespi's house. Pretty much. Sipping and swipping. Zipping and swipping. Oh, that's a beep. And we're back. Ben, how are you feeling today, buddy? I'm feeling pretty good. Where are all the chants here? They're enamored with the gameplay happening. They're too scared to bother us while the finals are going on. They're all on their way to Logan right now. Oh, they're also probably on their way to Logan. I will donate five bucks if Jack Danger sings Loving You by wearing that red cape. all right hold on I'll do this right now hold on here we go hold on yes Loving you is easy because you're beautiful. Doot, doot, doot, doot. La, la, la, la, la. La, la, la, la. Five bucks, Bob, for the kids. Robert Twitchell, that's five dollars to the kids. To the kids. Does the Walking Dead thing at Logan go late? I think it goes until 9 or 10. Yeah, I mean, generally these launch parties run until like... Maybe 11. Well, the finals are around like 10, but I mean... I think it's usually like a two-hour... We've got like, yeah, you have generally from 7 to 9. Don't quote me on that, though. But generally, yeah, to place. And we're not going to place, folks. We're going to just get our points and go to a party to get drunk for the kids. For the kids. Is that a party for the kids? I'm a kid. Brad is a child. You should not be drinking. Brad is a man child. It's illegal. You shouldn't have that on the table. I'm a kid. Nick got me drunk. Nick Campbell? Nick Campbell, that Batman mask wearing. I got it before I drank, but it was basically the same time. Wait, was my mic on? Yes. Hopefully. Hopefully they got all that gold. Let's try this hurry up thing again. Do you think a lot of people will be up for this one? Uh, maybe. Ah! Wow. Good freaking ball. I think there will be a lot of new meat there because they've done a lot of promotion. New meat. I like new meat. That means more money for us when we win. We need more money for the Sharps. For the Sharps. The Sharps historically don't always do incredibly well in these launch parties. Yeah, I remember Metallica, they did. Oh, yeah. We all scored higher than they did in the Metallica. Yep, I scored one-handed higher than they did. I had hair. I think I might have. That's right. Your hand was broken. Yeah, I played one-handed and I smoked it. Avengers was the only party I did really well at, and that's because no one showed up. Oh, well, there's that, because it's Avengers. People knew before the game was popular that it was crappy. That was the only time I made it to the four. The top four. Number one. Yeah. Well, I need to go to Logan Hardware. When it was Galloping Ghost, the pin room was closed. Yeah. You have to call ahead for Galloping Ghost, and the last time I was there, the machines were in questionable shape. Wait, you have to call ahead? Yeah, because the pins are in a separate room. Hey, I'm going to go there. Yeah, like, so they're in a completely, you have to exit Galloping Ghost and then go into a different storefront. Oh, that's stupid. To get into Galloping Ghost's pin room. And so, yeah, you have to call ahead. But it's been, like, I think a year. Well, look, Yancy said he thinks that the pins are in the general population. Oh, yeah, that could be possible. I haven't been there in a long time either. I've never been. I've been to Brixie's plenty of times. Ooh, nice. Yelp and Goose is really cool. I really like Yelp and Goose. I don't know. They've had a couple pinball tournaments that were a lot of fun to do a while back. Yeah, Demon, do it. Plan a trip. Yeah. Go across the street to Brixie's. Yeah, we were over there. Medieval Madness, Spider-Man, Metallica. I haven't played the Medieval Madness at Logan yet. So I'm looking forward to getting that a spin. Is that a... It is. It is what? It is what your question was. Okay, yes. Yes. Is it made out of children? Yes. Donate to them. Donate to them. And that's why we're donating. Oh, we'll turn them into children's pinball machines. Yeah, we're going to line up the children and make them Medieval Madness. That's where pinballs come from, folks. That's the difference between an EM and a solid state. The ground up children. The ground up children. No, it's 100% child labor. Work harder, you'll become part of this machine. It's that crane, that is a child. That's a femur. That is a child's femur. But remember, we're here to donate. Donate to kids. We're trying to get them away from the pinballs. Starkman. That's two. Holy crap. I've never been to Brixie's, though. I need to go there next time I make a video. You've never been to Brixie's? Never been to Brixie's. I've heard it's very nice. Free soup on Tuesdays. What? Yeah. That's an odd promotion, but a cool one. There's a bar called Rossi's downtown, like, north. Totally. They have free chili sometimes. I've never been brave enough to eat it. Free soup Tuesdays. All right, well, let's... Yeah, what did they make their chili of that they can afford to give it away for? Fuck it, they're getting 20. What? I don't know. Bob's complaining about something. That doesn't sound like a complaint. It's my super... Oh, they're getting 20 for him singing a song? Ah, there you go. Bob, you're a gentleman. You know what?
