Thank you. Hello! So, my name is George, and this show is Don't Panic Flip. Welcome, Dice and Pink Ninja Man. Great to see you guys. And tonight I have with me Christine. Hi again. Who is fairly new to pinball, and we are going to play some Tron, walk her through some of the basics both of the game, and just work on, in general, I don't know, getting better at pinball. Both you and me, actually. And welcome back, Christine. Awesome. Thanks, Pink Ninja Man. Good evening, George and fellow pinheads. Nothing like some sick, nasty Tron action. Libations for everyone. I love that line. I absolutely love that line from this. So, without further ado, let's show off the play field. I'm going to add two players, and let's see what we can do to actually progress through this game. This is brutal, is what it is. But it is so fun. So fun. Let's get things going. All right, so we took Minnesota Pinball's advice.
5:38
And we full plunged in order to get the freebie on that lane for the light cycle. And let's just hit Quora a lot.
5:52
Until we dial in that shot. Perfect. Obviously intentional. Intentional. Alright, alright. We've got all the control here.
6:14
I'm not worried at all. Can we hit Quora? now there is the rectifier so now that's open we can shoot inside of it in order to start our recognizer or disc multiball there we go and now we want to hit it in that scoop Boom. There's our first, I don't know, whatever you call that.

George (Don't Panic Flip)@ 49:54 — Positive sentiment toward Spooky despite past issues, indicating brand loyalty

  • “If CMK was on, he has been asking me for like two years to watch Smokey and the Bandit.”

    • 6:55
    And we started Clue, which is the first mode on that list. Now, let's make that happen. So I think it tells you every time how many more shots you have, so it looks like we need five.
    7:16
    Four. Three, maybe two. Two. I think one more. One more. Sorry, don't cry. And Pez Johnson. Oh, I forgot to take off endo-brewing. Darn it. Thank you. I'm going to have to remove that from a bunch of different things. Yeah, that was not intentional stream sponsorship this time. Stream is sponsored by Suzy Kinbaba coming with in morning. That is definitely a thing. Uh, where, oh, there it is. Guest logo one, guest logo two. All right, those are off.
    8:10
    Now I'm going to have to go. Tonight's stream, oh my God, yeah. As soon as Christine gets on, we are definitely talking about some Rick and Morty.
    8:26
    Yes. That was a fun last risk. Fine, we're going to get the multiball restart there. now oh that sucks there we go so while we're in this multi-ball we just want to hit the recognizer a lot
    9:11
    Wow. All right. So we've got Flynn started, Clue started, Zeus started. We did our blue disc multiball. Now I want to continue focusing on Quora. I'm Quora! Oh, there's our first gem. And we lit Quora and Light Cycle multiballs. So we'll see what happens there.
    9:40
    My dog bites him. Okay, now it's your turn. So full plunge? Full plunge will automatically, and this is all stuff we learned last stream. Okay. But if you full plunge, you'll get this chop for free. Okay. If you can get it to go up and land nicely in this spot right here, you'll get the gem chop for free. Okay. And if you short plunge it and allow it to come back down and give it a little nudge, it goes in the scoop, which is also the skill shot. Oh, okay. Yeah.
    10:10
    No? Maybe? Maybe me. No, yes. It was definitely not still repping them. Oh, God. That was a thing. You got a ball safe. Oh, okay. You're good.
    10:24
    Okay. So, good trap. Oh. And it's really important to be thinking about what it is that you're shooting for. Oh, God. I'm losing it. That's fine. It's hard to hold it, by the way. I need to stay in solid. Yeah. Yeah, it's very brutal games.
    10:41
    Let's see here. As is the case with most collectibles, I assume George bought one Rick and Morty machine to play with and one to keep and mint in the box. Not the case. That's not a bad idea, though. You'll get both Cora and Light Cycle with chances for AAB. So, there we go. So, I short plunge specifically to go in there. I should get, as Pez said, both Light Cycle and Cora. There's Light Cycle and Quora. So I think I just hit Quora while I'm in Quora.
    11:31
    That's great. We already lost one. So now, there. Just give it a little nudge. We'll get it to go back. Let's see here. Get the gem shot for Quorra Stupor. Okay. Let's do that.
    11:48
    I kind of forgot about the other ball. That was really, really bad. But whatever, Korra's done. And Korra's solid, so somehow we completed that.
    12:09
    Next we need a gem. And I found a really easy way, or not easy, but a way to do it was to bank it just like that.
    12:22
    So there we go, we just started gem. That shouldn't have worked out so beautifully, but it really, really did. So now that we're in Gem, I assume you have to hit that shot again. Let's just...
    12:39
    500,000. We got a replay. What are we in? Oh, Sea of Stimulation. Awesome. So this is your, I don't know, like mini wizard mode? But we have to hit the Gem shot first. One Gem hit to complete. Yes. So same thing. I'm going to just try and bank it. Missed it by that much.
    13:02
    I'm going to try it again. Wow. That did not trigger off the swing like I thought it was going to. That was really, really awful as well.
    13:29
    Let's see here. Oh, you just gave me an idea, George. Gem and the hologram's pinball machine. That's going on the homebrew list. Okay.
    13:39
    Okay. So you can go for... The easiest thing to go for is the recognizer up at the top. Just beat that until it drops, and then keep shooting. Where do you hit? 50% down the flipper typically hits it. There you go. You hit it right in the center. So a couple more of those, and it will drop. Or it'll do that. Okay. Oh wow, that was just ball two. So that sucks. I got to Sea of Stimulation.
    14:07
    And do I have to start all over? I kind of think I do, right? The wizard mode will be, of course, truly outrageous.
    14:16
    Not Barbie and the Rock. Alright, what do we need now? You know what? That was perfect. We'll count that. It'll count.
    14:46
    There we go. So that's end of the line jackpot. Uh-oh. Somebody just did such a... Hey, Cameron in Rhino Hut with that host.
    15:10
    Oh, here we go again. Yeah. Denim Blue. Is that what that is? That does not look like Denim Blue. Firestorm, a strange game. The only winning move is not to play... Wait, wrong movie. Yes. Alright, Joshua.
    15:32
    Oh, gosh. I was not prepared. I just must have left. Sadly, bring them in. Alright, that was first game. That is a really fast and brutal game. Do you want to go first or second this time?
    15:47
    You can go first. You can go first? Okay. So, full plunge, you're going to end up getting that skill shot. Alright. And are you focusing on Recognizer? Or maybe you want to focus on the... Okay, Recognizer. For that. Okay, ball save. Nope. I apologize. Nope. It's a very quick ball save.
    16:10
    I didn't know what I bounced off of. Yeah, I don't know why there wasn't a Matrix pin. Wow, that was good. Hey, I got a ball state, though. Somebody did.
    16:28
    Oh! All right. Not just me. Oh, with the fourth movie being made, what are the thoughts on a Matrix pin? You know, if they made a Matrix pin, I would want it to be probably themed for the Animatrix.
    16:47
    And maybe the Matrix. But I was not a fan of Matrix 2 or 3. Nice quiver work there. Come on, hit it. Nice. Oh! No! So, a thought on nudging. I have not nudged yet. I'm afraid. So if you see it heading towards the out lanes, wait until it's going to hit something and just hit forward. That's a really, really safe move. Okay. If you move, you're probably not going to mess with the tilt ball. Yep. And at the same time, if you time it just right to when it's going to hit anything, it might bounce back out. Okay. Okay? Fair enough. That is true. the black and green armor scheme would pop so hard. Yes, it would. It would look amazing. I was also not a fan of two... Yeah, also not a fan of... Outer Spacey Tracy, welcome to the stream. Shalom. Nice. And cheers. I do love that combo on the cheers maze.
    17:43
    Okay, what are we doing here? You know what? Let's try and plunge up into the gem. That did not work at all. Not even a little bit.
    17:53
    Quora. There's the gem shot. Oh, no. Okay, so that was that forward push. Yes. Yes, exactly. And, all right, so we lit light cycle. You can tell right there.
    18:10
    Beautiful. And in here, what you want are a bunch of three-way combos. All right, all right. We're cool, game. We're cool.
    18:41
    All right. Let's go... All right, so I'm going to put one in the scoop, and then Quora, totally myth.
    19:11
    All right, advance Quora. Ah! I wasn't patient. All right, so there was that one. Maybe someday we will all meet again in Tron 3, the quest for more money. All right, I'm going Quora here. Nice little combo!
    19:45
    Oh, missed it. All right! That was very fast. Oh, there we go. We have got to be close to a danger here at some point, or a double danger. What do we need here? It looks like we need a couple more yellows. Oh, we've got Quora multiball. All right, all right, all right, cool. We're going to do the whole combo here. There's one, two, and in for Quora!
    20:31
    I was ready to celebrate that! Oh, my God. Like, I was ready to hold up my hand and start drinking a beer. when is the Daft Punk pin oh wait that is Tron it completely is Tron I would I don't know man can you pick one artist oh what is that seriously I don't get it yeah you got it oh nice alright hit the scoop tip of the flipper oh or that I didn't shake it violently Next time that happens, give it a nudge afterwards.
    21:12
    It's a muscle memory kind of thing. I have to just do it. Yeah, and you have to just do it. Although they could do a Daft Punk pin. They could totally do a Daft Punk pin. Oh, my God. Around the World is all about the orbits.
    21:26
    Da Funk. I don't know what Da Funk would be, but I love that song. The Robot Rock song. I would actually want a whole bunch of the songs from DJ Hero. that they remixed alongside Daft Punk in the game. I think those are some of the best songs.
    21:45
    Let's go the soft plunge into Gem. Not even close. But I'm in Quora. Alright, Terminate Clue and Quora. What do I do in Quora?
    22:01
    Shoot left, inner loop. Oh, somebody already told me. It's the gem shot. Almost got it. That sucked.
    22:51
    Oh, that was a long time on the ball save there. I'll take it. I will take that every day. asking were there any clues or reveals for emos after the narwhal uh there was it is not poop related so it is not poop related it is not human and there was a third clue but I don't remember what it was
    23:39
    uh oh wait and it is not a hot dog eating a hot dog He said add a ball in the recognizer. All right, good. I'll take that.
    24:44
    That took a nasty little, I feel like, dip in something over there. Oh, that was it. That was it. All right. Stage flip that upper flipper. Oh, yes, that's right. I guess what I should have done was hit it up from the right. So I had a ball trapped on either side. And I should have hit the Quora shot. And rather than trying to get rid of the ball on the left, You can stage it, which is just hit it a little bit. Sorry, it was held in. Let it go a little bit, and that allows you control of the top flipper while maintaining the bottom one in an up state. So you can get in there, and then you just kind of move it a hair, and that allows you to flip the top flipper. It is really, really tough to do, though.
    25:33
    But now you know. Okay, because I'm going to be doing that next round. A division at Pinbird should be who can get the furthest in Tron and Lord of the Rings in one ball each.
    25:46
    I have no issues whatsoever with the system at Pinbird. Like that is, that's a machine operating at max efficiency there. It was so, so well managed. I almost got the core shot.
    26:04
    That went down a little bit. What went? Oh, yeah, that one. Oh, you know what? I forgot. Hold on, wait, we got some more light here, people.
    26:20
    Why are you... Nope, it's not... Come on. Nope, we don't. No more light. Thing's dead. Ooh. Uh, alright, full plunge!
    26:37
    Go Advance Quora. And I guess Rectifier Shot. Totally what I did. I'll take that. That was a very lucky gem shot.
    27:25
    Ah. Look at the nudge. The power nudge is where we should have been on that one. I just need to offer up a challenge to the real top players.
    27:37
    Some of the shots on this game are so hecking dangerous. Nice. Oh, why? Ball save. You got a ball save. Oh, thank goodness.
    27:48
    I almost... Nice, nice. Excellent. Christine, your hair, it's different. Look at it. It's been a while. That's from... Oh!
    28:06
    It was impressive, really. For like five seconds, it was impressive. This is the longest I've lived, though. I'm pretty proud right now. Yes!
    28:16
    Okay. Trying to think of other things that we could potentially go over here. We don't have any of that stuff lit. So I guess I'm short plunging.
    28:29
    And there... so I'm going to try and do what's called a drop catch here that did not work at all that was a dead flip which is where you see that it's going to bounce and to gain control of it on the other side you let it hit without flipping at all and then bounce to the other side a great way to create situations where you can trap up, slow down and be like, I'm going for that chorus shot right there Now, if only I was more accurate.
    29:06
    Wow. And then you know about the post transfers. Haven't done it yet, but yes. That was a dead flip. Yep.
    29:22
    Now, let's try for real on that forest shot. Yay. I nudged that into the outline that time. Anyway, 8-Bit Eddie is Rob.
    29:35
    Is what? Is Rob. Oh, hey, Rob. That's how he does it. It has been a minute. Yeah, I was going to say, it has been a while. Yes. You mean because I have hair? Thank you, Rob. Yes.
    29:48
    Nice. So that was the soft plunge into Jem. That was great. Oh. Come on, get back there. and then always keep in mind what are you aiming for. I was going to hit the reactor because I wanted to open it up, but I just need to violently nudge.
    30:08
    And get it over there. All right, right now you're beating me. So I need to step this up. Because I can't actually play? Not at all.
    30:27
    There we go. So that was the combo and light cycle. That was worth a good amount of points. That was good. I just let that go because I didn't like that.
    30:46
    This is personal. There's one. All right. Somehow you got 2,300 without even doing anything. Okay. That is weird.
    31:18
    Yeah, oops, exactly. And double drain. George, meant to do that to show you. Exactly. It was what not to do. Oh, so not to do.
    31:36
    He's really good, teacher. Really good. All right, focusing on Korra again. Totally nailed that on purpose there. Nice. And the jump shot. ever imagined. Look at this.
    31:58
    That's what she said. Got it. And this is where he goes 20 minutes and we just all watch. No. Definitely not on this game.
    32:15
    Oh, come on. No, this game hates me. So I'm not going to lie. Being a really new player and then, like, being with you on a brand new machine to you is actually kind of enlightening. It's actually nice because you're not just like, I know how to do everything under the sun. So it shows me that it takes, you know.
    32:36
    It definitely takes some warming up. Okay. Okay, you're aiming for recognizing. So that is about 33% of the way down on that side. And of course that. Give it the nudge. Yeah. I'm going to do it. No, I can't. Now it's too late.
    32:57
    I just hit the nudge. And Toto BN, welcome to the stream. All right, we are going... Missed it. Ah, but I got that. I'll take that.
    33:18
    Perfect. And moving on. And now for your random movie trivia of the evening. Tron Legacy is one of the many films shot in Vancouver, British Columbia. Those of you who have seen Eye may recognize parts of downtown and its iconic cityscape. I did not know that.
    33:41
    The more you know. We need that little star shooting off when you say that. That would have been a really good deadlift so that you could gain control. But I did nudge it. It was my first one. You did nudge it. That was a really good nudge. I just broke my... My nudge here.
    33:59
    All right. We're going to soft plunge into life cycle. Is that not going to give me that back? Nope, that was a very, very quick one.
    34:28
    But we do have the recognizer open, so we can go for that. Nope, right down the middle. Told you, this was going to be both quick and brutal. But I get more terms on this one than Deadpool. Yeah, do you?
    34:52
    A lot of movies like to take advantage of Vancouver for the federal and provincial tax credits and its flexibility of scenery. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
    35:02
    I tried to picture Cluster's information as they moved. All right, let it dead flip twice. Okay. So let it hit the one right... Oh, God. No, no, you nailed it. It did not work out well.
    35:14
    Come on. There you go. Nice. Oh, that is not where I wanted to go. Oh, and that. That. And that one is just, on some games, I keep tapping the top there, like on Dialed In, on most Dialed In's I've played, it has two lanes over here, and if it comes down this one, it have enough power with a forward nudge right as it hits the flipper to bounce up and over to the other side And then you trapped on the other side This game doesn It is a perfect amount on this left side to where if you hold the flipper up it will just go up and kind of teeter on the edge and then go over. Yeah, it's not a good capture. It's really hard to capture. Just capture it. I've noticed that.
    36:01
    And then it starts moving and it's really fast. Yes. Oculus Quest, while I put my board at the train, saying hi. And you, 2-3-K, welcome to the screen.
    36:23
    I actually found one of the rare laser-active game consoles, one that's hard to find in a working state. Awesome.
    36:31
    Yeah. There we go. I can find the shot. Look at you. It's like you know how to move it. Here we go. Light cycle! Oh my gosh.
    36:49
    This is actually a highlight. No! It was impressive. It's like, man, that was really impressive. I'll be watching In My Oculus Quest soon. What are your thoughts on Outer Spacey Tracy? All right. Let's do this. Let's talk about Rick and Morty.
    37:07
    I'm a fan. I have a lot of the comic books I just got the Dungeons and Dragons Adventure I've actually I've been trying to talk to I just made a clue shot wait I'm going to go back in the scoop like I know what I'm doing there you got the jump shot again we're actually, no we're going to hold off on talking we'll pause after this game and give Rick and Morty okay this is the most I don't know, that was pretty good cheers that you don't eat a portion of beer.
    37:41
    Cheers. Well played. Alright. So I got the Koonshaw and yeah it was pretty good. So after this game Why am I doing I have a beer holder right there.
    37:54
    I have Light Cycle. There we go. We're in Light Cycle. Is this ball three? That's good. You got me. All right, here we go. Let's see that. Oh. That's the staging. That's crazy.
    38:26
    That Pez was talking about. So. Totally did it. Not at all. No. I'm Quora! All right, so we do have Quora lit there. so let's try the three way combo darn it again so that one yeah if it's going to hit this one it often will bounce over so I hit it as good as I can so it had more than enough power to bounce back out that is made it sound like it wasn't the only Cartoon Network IP Spooky Acquired ooh man if the other one was Adventure Time All right, let's see.
    39:37
    Here we go. And there. All right, so we got an add-a-ball, I think, on the recognizer here. I should probably hit that a few times.
    40:23
    Yep. Nice. All right, so let's hit core again. And it's core to gem. I've hit the ramp twice. I kind of forgot I was going for the gem.
    40:45
    Grr. All right, and Recognizer is down. That sucked. That was ball two. All right, yeah. We're going to hold up. We'll Rick and Morty it up with everybody here. a minute. I am going to catch up, though. I feel like you have a lot of things. I do. I really do. I remember discussing that as an idea in this stream. We have definitely chatted about it. I'm intrigued because the way the release sounded, it made it sound like that was the only Cartoon Network IP Spooky acquired. They said games, plural.
    41:21
    Random movie fact. The Tron Legacy was released in home video. The collector's package had a copy of the original movie with enhanced theme effects, has Johnson called this Lucas-fied. No, seriously, down the side. And preferred the original. Yes, I always... Grr.
    41:43
    It's frustrating, right? It is. But at the same time... I will be right back. Okay, I will... This is fall three, right? This is fall three. Yeah, okay, and then you can look at Morty. Okay. And then you can start the next round.
    41:57
    Oh my god, just get up there. In the recognizer. How many more? Two more to start this multiball. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten. Eleven. Twelve. Thirteen. Really?
    43:17
    Restart. And we're in. All right. All right, here we go. In the recognizer. I foreststadtbullets屣 there's a huge конечно 잣 stick do there
    44:04
    Yeah. Oh, that was ball three. Okay. So, I just did the Ram movie back tonight for my own friend. Apparently, the turtles from the Rocky movie, Sly owns them still. Had no idea. That's cool. Like, he kept them from the movie. Oh, wait. Here we go. Full screen. Welcome.
    44:23
    All right. So, good to know that there's turtles out there. Wait. That is incredible, but turtles do live a stupidly long amount of time. Good to know that there's turtles out there taking it easy for all the sinners. I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that. Yeah, but also the fact that he was filming with them and was like, you know what? Oh, wait a second.
    44:41
    Can you talk like Sylvester Stallone by any chance? No. Okay. I'm not even going to do it. Like, you've got to pull your lips apart at different directions and not going to try. Okay, so now I'm picturing him laying on the couch watching a football game with turtles just laying on his chest. Endo brewing. Oh, thank you.
    45:03
    Pulling an archer right here. This is how you get ants. That's all. Yeah, exactly. This is how you get ants. Here we go.
    45:15
    Try sounding drunk. Yo, man, where's my turtles? That is the best I could do. That's a good slide. All right. Cool. Rick and Morty. Here's the deal. I found out and I think within six minutes of the video being posted to YouTube somebody posted it to the Discord which by the way our Discord there's a lot of conversation it is not all pinball related I am going to admit to that right now there's a ton of unrelated stuff going on but if you are interested in joining the Discord it's exclamation point Discord to get the link I should probably just type that in because that's a thing right and not spill my beer all over everything.
    46:05
    And I got a note from somebody that the video went up, so I went and checked it out and then started freaking out. I'm like, oh, my God, it's happening. This thing is happening. We are getting Rick and Morty, and my wife already told me to go ahead and get it. I showed her the video, but I didn't even take the time to watch it with her. I'm like, here, watch this, and I ran downstairs. This was movie night, family movie night. We don't, like, when it's family movie night, we pick a movie, we order pizza, and my wife, my daughter, and I sit down and we watch whatever that movie was. And I didn't even pause it. You literally danced. I literally danced. There's no question. I ran downstairs, got to my computer, and earlier that day, Spooky sent out a note saying you could join their Fang Club as a part of Spooky and get access to games two weeks before they go on sale. So immediately in my head, I'm like, oh my God, they just announced they're doing what Stern does. I could have had access to this two weeks ago. So I both sign up for the fan club at the same time that I am writing an email to Katie and Squirrel, her daughter, at Spooky, who I've had a bunch of conversation with the purchase of TNA and some of the issues I've experienced and a few questions back and forth. So I had their email addresses And I emailed them, I'm like, is there anything else I can do besides Fan Club to get early access? And they responded back almost immediately, don't worry about it. That is the best you can do. You will get access to purchase the game two weeks beforehand. And in my mind, I'm like, okay, cool. They haven't already gone up for sale. It's going to be some time, meaning hopefully I get invited very soon. I would love to have a really early number. I want this as soon as humanly possible. But, bing, got this amazing idea. I'm like, I'm going to Chicago on the 19th. Why not offer a potential bribe? Exactly. What you see right there is Horse and Dragon's Sad Panda, which is an amazing beer. And you guys have seen all of the crazy beers that I drink on the stream. So I thought to myself, I'm like, self, we can do this. I emailed Katie and I said, is there any chance that I could potentially bribe you guys and bring out a bunch of Colorado craft beers? I'm going to be in Chicago with family, but I'll drive it up to Wisconsin and maybe I can check out the place. Smokey and the Bandit style, right? I don't know Smokey and the Bandit. If CMK was on, he has been asking me for like two years to watch Smokey and the Bandit. They run a bunch of beer. They do? Yeah. Okay, cool. So, like Smokey and the Bandit, I sent out that email, and I said, it was two parts. It said, like, secret, no, it wasn't secret message. It was something like, secret message, is there any way I can bribe you guys with Colorado Craft beer to make sure I get an early Rick and Morty? And then I said, LOL at the end, and then super secret message down below it, I'm not kidding. This is funny, but totally serious. And I got a response back this morning from Katie saying everybody in the back thought that was hilarious, period.
    49:22
    There was nothing. So I'm fairly certain that means they can't be bribed, but at the same time, maybe there's that one in a million chance that if I do it and drive up all the craft beer, I might be able to get an early number. I don't know. either way I hope Katie and Squirrel remember me from my complaints about the issues I had with TNA that they took care of wonderfully fast they next day shipped me a replacement amplifier so I've got nothing but love for Spooky TNA is one of my favorite games and you guys have also seen how quickly I go through pinball machines TNA isn't going anywhere so yes Outer Spacey Tracy thank you I am a huge fan I cannot wait to have that game I'm all set I got rid of two pinball machines, and hopefully have D&D on the way out at some point in the near future, and that should fund everything having to do with Rick and Morty. So, if you fail, you can just go cry in all the beer. Well, I think if I fail, they get the beer anyways.
    50:31
    This guy complained about problems with our game. Let's let him get a new one. That way more than 750 people want. I did not put the right emphasis on the right parts of that sentence. I feel like I'd have to go through and read it again. That way more than 700. Way more than the 700. Thank you. Okay, cool. Way. It was the emphasis. Got it. Okay, emphasis, yes. All right. So, moving on. I am going to remember to put this camera back on the play field. I did it. Yay. And Christina's up. The epitome of hyperbole. Hyperbole. A digital frontier.
    51:16
    I love epitome, by the way. It's kind of like facade in that, you know, I actually pronounced in my mind the word facade. I pronounced it facade for probably all the way up until my mid-20s because I had never used it in actual conversation. So I didn't realize what I was reading in books was that. So I'm terrible at pronouncing things as well. So sloughing I thought was plowing because why would you know G-H makes an F sound?
    51:50
    The English language just doesn't make sense. You're like, wait, G-H makes F except never. Except that one time.
    52:00
    Hey, you got the ball stage, though. Yes, I did. So that was the most controlled ball I've had yet, though. That was. So I was pretty excited. I hit the core shot, I hit the recognizing shot, I was pretty excited.
    52:16
    I know it seemed short, but it felt much more purposeful. Much more, yeah, like you were aiming at things, hitting them and controlling the ball. Maybe don't just like hit the flippers.
    52:27
    Macabre? Yeah, because you don't pronounce half the letters. Oh my god, macabre? macro bag. It's like macro bag.
    52:39
    Yeah, and you know, you don't really notice it. I mean, you notice it. But until you're trying to teach a kid the English language and they struggle with simple things like, oh, well, the mooses over there were doing such and such. No, no, no. Moose is both plural and singular. And my daughter just rolls with it. She's like, okay, cool. Yeah, it's plural and singular. And she starts using it correctly. But as I'm explaining it, I'm like, this shit's confusing me.
    53:19
    Almost. The engine kind of went. I know. It's neat. Many much moosen? I thought it was bad. The moosen. Ah!
    53:36
    Alright, so now I guess we just want to hit Jem and Quora for the recognizer. That's going to go right down the middle.
    53:46
    This machine's good at that. Ugh! It's neat. Yes. Ah, what was the other one that I had mispronounced until really recently, like maybe a couple years ago. No! Oh! I haven't even had it go through there. You nudged it, though. I did. Yes. I'm nudging now. When it rolled nicely like that, that is one where you kind of want to shimmy it. See, that's when it goes... No, no, no. Yeah, yeah. No, no, no. Keep up with this. That's going to be really helpful some percentage of the time. Just swap out facade with ruse. I don't appreciate your ruse, ma'am. Your cunning attempt to trick me. That is a Clerks reference, sir. I caught it. My hat's off to you. Good. I absolutely love Randolph in Clerks.
    54:38
    What was it? You know, my wife called me out on it. I said something, and she's like, you mean this? Like, she had the one up on me, because I had been mispronouncing something for 37 years.
    54:56
    What are you doing over there? I don't know. I don't even know if I'd call this pinball at this point.
    55:06
    Do you see how he wounds me? Do you see this? This is the most I've played on screen. I don't know. There we go. Quora! Gimme, gimme, gimme!
    55:24
    We got this. We got this game. We got this. You know what we got? We've got Quora. It's going to happen.
    55:30
    Yes. Give me all your Quora. Really? Oh, good. I'll take that. That's not good. The pops are always scary, by the way.
    56:06
    Okay. So we're going to try the little Tron juke move here. Let's try it again. Missed it. Ah. That is such a nice job!
    56:44
    Give me, give me, give me, give me him back, give me him back, that was just mean. All right, Quora gave me nothing. That was wonderful, Quora.
    57:04
    I feel like I need MPT-3K's rifts right now. All right, so we brought down the Recognizer. Let's go for that Gem Shot.
    57:22
    That was really bad. But that, I mean, that kind of worked out. Your ball faves have been extra gracious.
    57:33
    Yeah, seriously. I'll take it. There we go. And that side is way easier. What do we need? We need the end to get double scoring.
    58:52
    Got the end. We're going to get that back What? There's a jock trap slogan right there Extradition's all saved every time That's awesome.
    59:41
    Yeah, yeah, yeah. After all of that, I apologize. That's got to come over there. Like that? Okay, cool.
    59:54
    I have to eat your hell out of it. You're fine. Oh, that's good. With 37 years in, no point changing it now. Oh, my God. Okay, so I got to think of what it was. What is that?
    60:12
    Sorry. What'd you do? They both just rolled to the outside. I never even got to hit them. I know. I should have violently shaken it.
    60:21
    It's okay. They both just went. I never even got to tap them. I was terrible. What did you say? Tomorrow, you're going to hit the arcade.
    60:36
    Oh, get in there. Oh. Yeah, he's wanting to go to the outside really bad. I think that's all we need is Gem. We've got to hit that, and then we get to see his stimulation. All right, we should probably just hit... It was so rude. It was really fucking rude.
    61:05
    This game is very rude. Yeah, it is very rude. You're very rude. Have some spaghetti. Oh, my God. Yeah. Yep.
    61:17
    What was it? I cannot think of the word that I had been mispronouncing for ever. Yeah, that happens. All right.
    61:27
    Welcome back, program. You're up. All right. T-Rex pinball, welcome to the stream. Don't get to play it much, but it seems to suit me. Yeah, just, I know. No, no, no. It was fine. It was, um, it was something with an S. and I know that that's that doesn't help.
    61:52
    Nice! Good nudging! Come on, just capture it. Come on. I should have nudged it again. It's very bouncy. Like, I don't want to make like a bouncy ball joke, but it's very bouncy and it won't capture easily. I can't.
    62:12
    So, there we can start talking about live and drop catches. So a live catch is where the ball's coming down and you hit it, the flipper up, where it hits its apex at the same moment the ball hits it. It'll stop dead on your flipper. That's one way to gain control of a wild ball. That's a live catch? Yeah, that's a live catch. The other one is a drop catch. As the ball's coming down, your flipper is up, and as it hits the flipper, you drop down and then hit it up, and it'll just pull the ball in. Okay. So those are your two ways to try and catch the ball when it's kind of wild and be aggressive about it. Okay.
    62:55
    And also, I can't stress the dead flips are probably your single most powerful way of slowing the ball. That's just going right down the middle.
    63:05
    I pronounce it pleathera or plecthora. And then next you can talk about slap sticks. Oh. Nice. Come on.
    63:29
    Flathoro. Got it. Oh, right down the middle. Damn it. Okay. So if the ball is going right down the middle and your flipper is up, that's kind of a small space, right? Yep. you can slap the side, and essentially you're taking that flipper and moving it in momentarily when you do that, because the ball's going to continue coming straight down. Okay. All right? So you kind of slap like that, and you'll end up potentially saving it. So when it's coming straight down the middle, I try and choose the side it's closest to, and I'll hit one and then the other, hoping it bounces off the one, and I flip it up with the other. Oh, that's where you do the double tap. Yes. Okay. Not always recommended. I don't know that you should always do a double, but that's what... I don't know, that's just how I think of it.
    64:26
    And that there, I think, was kind of a bad live catch. Nice. Try it again. so I kind of got some control out of that and then that was a flipper tip so that is where the ball is coming up and you just give it a little tiny let go and redo it again and it kind of pops it up and goes to the other side alright so now we're in light cycle
    65:10
    Hey! I got the gem shot! Amazing. Okay, so over here we've got double scoring lit, and we'd have to hit all the Tron targets. So that was that dead flip? Yep.
    66:09
    Darn it. I am finding that quarter shot though a bunch more now yeah uh careful with how hard you slap the game though no need to exacerbate a mountain biking injury wow nice I can't believe were you on the stream when I was still struggling with the left shoulder injury or did I just bring it up at some point and like whine about it nice skillshot totally on purpose Oh, I should have hit it. I should have violently hit it. I know. Or, so that, by the way. Let it hit it and then bounce it to the side. What if it bounced? That one is a little bit different. Because from the side, I don't think it would have hit it. Well, yeah, from right here, it doesn't have enough. I can show you what you can kind of do to get it over to the other side to maintain control. Okay. So, what do we need? Anything, honestly, at this point.
    67:07
    Oh my god. Game, why are you being so mean? I know, it's extremely rude. Alright, Quora, come on. Oh wow, we're in Quora now. I have nothing else going. I guess maybe I could Zeus first?
    67:41
    Like that? I'm probably going to drain now that I did that, but now we're in Zeus, now we can bring in Quora. All right.
    68:05
    That's called an air defense. An air defense is when you've got a ball down here trapped up, and there's a ball in it, looks like it's going down the middle, so you hit the ball before it goes down the middle with the other ball. All right, so now we're going Quora. We're going to... Oh, no. It's really hard to do well. Let's go... Oh, that was not a good Quora. Whatever, it came right back to me.
    68:51
    Alright, we're going to try this. Nope. And now I'm just hitting it to get the balls to come down so I can have better control and try to do an up and over, which is where the ball goes up, rolls down the sling. These slings are super sensitive, though, so it might not work. And then I'll hit the other one into the scoop to gain some control. It'll spit it back out, and then I'll have a ball in each flipper again.
    69:32
    Totally works. Like that. That's how you get on each silver. Me too. Goop and... Darn it. See? Perfection!
    70:27
    Alright, so we still have to hit that stupid gem shot! I got Quora. There we go. Alright. Quora and that, or did we go with the bank and maybe the... Yeah, I think we tried the bank here.
    70:59
    Ugh. Darn it. Hey! Oh my god we finally got Jem On a weird bank shot No Alright, you ready to go again? Yes. Okay.
    71:41
    Pick one move you want to work on this time. I need to grab a little bit better. Okay. I'm okay, so yeah. I need to slow it down a little bit more. Okay. I feel like this one goes really fast. It does. so control capture choose your next shot that's the goal correct yes okay great because I actually hit the core shot when I was aiming for it last time but then I couldn't capture it so I thought all right so okay uh and Ryan I wanted to say Ryan but Ryan uh what were you what were the first with grace period what were the first with grace periods oh wait I think I gotta read one nice catch Oh, down the middle. Dang it.
    72:29
    Yeah, that's what happened. So I hit the reactor with, I mean, sorry, the recognizer if you wanted to. You can't react to it because it's in. Right, right. So off of, somebody's saying if you boink it off the right reactor, you got me saying it, the right recognizer post, you can sometimes get in there too. Okay.
    72:51
    Uh, we need that. I did that. Nice. There's so much more nudging going on. Yes, there is. Have you ever seen Any Given Sunday?
    73:28
    Me? Yes. No. You have not? You haven't seen Smoking the Bandit, or even... No. No, there is a guy in Any Given Sunday that Ryan looks almost exactly like. My Ryan? Yes.
    73:46
    Oh, look at you. You're breaking it, breaking it. That's, uh, that's pinball. I know. Nope. I feel bad.
    74:01
    Alright. Uh, what the first pinball with a multiball relight was? Oh, interesting. I'm not sure. Just some way to get back into multiball after you lost it. Uh, let's see here. The line was often pretty blurred early on as to whether it was a new type of multiball or an add-a-ball, since many games didn't name their multiball modes. It's George's party. He can break it if he wants to. That is so true.
    74:35
    Oh, it didn't give it to me. I heard light cycle at a time, but then immediately break. Well, you've got it when you come back. Okay. So you'll short plunge it. give it that little nudge so it bounces in there. Because I went at that top light cycle, yeah. So I was like, oh, man.
    74:51
    Oh, wow. See that? Yeah, that's the garbage that's happening right now. Yep. Let's see here. Centaur essentially has that, but it doesn't really count as it's just the same multiball all the time. I have not played that yet. Oh, definitely. live.
    75:11
    All right, here's a good try to live cat. Close. Nice. Yes! Dang it, and I hit the quarter shot, and then I just sink it, because that's cool.
    75:27
    The recognizer's open, though. Enjoy! You're welcome! I don't think you can steal locks in this game. Meaning it's... Is there only Deadpool where you fight the same guys or do any of that stuff?
    75:43
    Deadpool isn't like that either. Is it your own battle? Yes. Okay. Exactly. That way you don't feel like I'm taking things from you. No.
    75:58
    I wouldn't do it by version, though. I'd take all of the... If I just start with multiball, it'd be great. Trying to find the chorus out there.
    76:11
    All right, let's see what happens here. Two balls, kicks out. Y'all remember that time you were playing Tron and it was mean?
    76:20
    Yes, it's a pretty violent memory. How I would describe every time I played Tron. Variable ball, out of ball at any time, out of launch, and over to it.
    76:34
    That's it. Nice. That's it. If you waited an extra second, it would have been down.
    77:11
    Yeah, I agree. That was not well thought out. At least it held on to it. That was good. Pass achieved.
    77:27
    All right, so we got the super. Yeah, I don't know. Did we get the super? he's got plungers of the worst plunger I hardly know it's not it's impressive now you get to yell it in for like it's a plunger it's really oh man I was already out of breath and then had to laugh right then it brings down so many of the best Williams games yep okay We gotta keep going. Notice the top scores are close to 200 million. We need to step our game up. He needs to step his game up. Yes, we do. All right, dead flip. I want you to focus on any opportunity you can to dead flip. Do it.
    78:22
    Oh, see, I didn't catch it in time. Ball save. Oh, see, and then it went around the outside. Where was that? That was just me. That was awful. That was just mean. No, it's true. No stupor. Oh, too early. Dang it. Manual plunger. The auto plunger freeballs out of a trap door a bit up the plunge lane. That sounds like that could have been... That was just filled with innuendo right there. Potential innuendo. In a game that only has three inputs, basically removing one, and the only one with more than one possible input is so lame. That's like Portal Area. Yikes. It cuts the input depth basically by a third. Does Tron have a cheaters kit you can install like Ghostbusters?
    79:10
    Oh, cheer. Oh, that was rude. That was rude. We'll get there. We'll get there eventually. Eventually.
    79:21
    Eventually from here. What? All right, here we go, Quora, you and me. Or not. She's a hard lady to impress. She is.
    79:46
    You can start a game in competition mode before you start a game. I'm trying to get your customers' information as they move through the computer.
    79:54
    All right. There you go. I did not trust it. I believe you about Ghostbusters. I did not get a chance to play it, so I believe you.
    80:22
    Sorry. In my defense, Christine, Ghostbusters needed that Cedars kit. No. I didn't get a chance to play it. Ghostbusters is really hard. It is tough, and it has a larger-than-normal flipper gap. Oh. But there's no amount of flapping that is good. It can go down the middle, and short of picking up the game and moving it, there's nothing you can do. But that requires you to, and that was my first game, and I still have a soft spot. Remember, if it gets close to the outline, nudge it out. I actually got a ball save somehow.
    81:01
    Nice, nice. I should have just let it go and I could have had the end damn it but did the cheaters kit add a pause button like Twilight Zone that I don't know does Twilight Zone have a pause button Sea of Simulation will hopefully happen here Portal maybe beating Portal not tonight I haven't yeah I'm not I wouldn't hold my breath we've been to Sea of Simulation once at the beginning of the stream the dick guy not me Don't have a pause mode That's why it's a clipper Okay Oh, I did not know that What is that? I like to take the page out of Jack Danger's playbook and yell, Mother, Father, when my ball drains.
    82:09
    I'll do that next time. Unless George doesn't first. This is nice. And when he said that earlier, I think that was Dice. That is the exact moment he was referencing. Yep.
    82:52
    I don't know if he feels good. And I'm also added to the wizard mode access. So, have we rewatched Tron yet? Nope. Because we need to do that. Yes, we do.
    83:22
    I don't think that counted. I don't think it counts when you keep hitting it when it's moving. So the murder mystery on a train, you and me are interested in that? Yeah. Okay, because I'm really excited. Yeah, who's running it? Me. You're running it. It's a repeatable one-off, so we'll all get a chance to potentially DM and play it, because every time it's someone else who did it. Okay. There's a whodunit that doesn't kind of run out of character for a while.
    83:56
    Come on, Quora, we got this. Johnny Mnemonic has a flipper code to start with power down lit if settings are enabled. Oh, come on! Mother, father, that's what you're supposed to say.
    84:11
    I missed it. Johnny Mnemonic has a flipper code to start with power down lit if settings are enabled to save codes. Obviously, non-home locations don't want to do that. Oh, right down the middle. Ball save, ball save.
    84:27
    And I need to violently hit the machine, and I keep forgetting to do that. I can feel it when it's supposed to do it, and I don't do it.
    84:38
    All right, here we go. Quora, we got this. Flippers wear machine gunners. So bad. So that was the dead. I saw that.
    85:01
    What was, who was that? Got it. Woo, and I got life cycle lit. Game, don't screw me over here. Thank you.
    85:27
    So I think we can get the fourth one here. Yep, you had definitely four. All four doubled. All right, all right. It gave me an anxiety attack.
    86:13
    Got it. Yes! Woo! Oh! All right, all right, we beat Quora. We've got two solids there. And Quinn, nice. Just need Jen. All right, Jen.
    86:57
    Are you going to do that dead flip? I was going to try to bounce off the side there. No. It's been so... I guess I want to take an active shot at it. Okay. From Quora.
    87:11
    That's working. All right. Recognizer. Come on, Quora. No! Motherfather! It's... You say. That's what we say.
    87:38
    Let's see here. That tournament with Twilight Zone, where the game started breaking in multiple ways during the course of one four-player game at Papa. I did not see that.
    87:53
    Ah. Nice. Two. Oh, come on. I should have violently shoved in. The violent shove, yes. That's what you wanted in the... Oh, wait, it's me. Damn, I thought for a second. Damn it. I had two.
    88:21
    All right, we've got to work on that gem shot. I've got to get way more address on the scene. That's going to be my secret. Yes, it is. Figuring out pinball.
    88:37
    Got it. Nice. Double tap to keep it from draining. We only did this like 30 more times. I'm going to get it. I'm going to get it for her.
    88:51
    All right, cool. How have you not had a tilt fight now? The tilt-bob is set so high up right now, too.
    89:02
    I got nothing. That tilt-bob. I promise you, there is a tilt-bob. Oh, as I hit that. Sorry. I hit your camera. Oh, it happens.
    89:13
    Oh, no, actually, we do need to adjust to the hair. Like, you really need to. Oh, I see you talking. Oh, and of course I... You got a ball soon.
    89:26
    Come on. Come on, let me get it again. Maintaining that mental calm while nudging and slapping. That's what the pinball monks up in the mountains are after. Pinball nirvana. So that, that Tron box right there hates me. It just doesn't like you, huh? Every time.
    89:56
    All right, Cora. Got it again. Jen is soon to be I'm not going to say that, that would have been mean but I'm going to own Jen very soon, Jen oh, give me that one I would take a freebie
    90:48
    dead blue up, get up there you jerk And we've got my moral. And we've got Quarrelit. I want to like Jen.
    90:59
    All right. Alright, we gotta get... Oh my god, just give me the shot! No, the other ball keeps getting away.
    92:01
    All right, all right. One more. Shoot spinning disc. Oh, so close. We got this. We got it. Restart. Oh my gosh!
    92:45
    Alright, alright, that's ball two, right? Yes, thank God, because I have four lit right now. Ugh! Not sure what call-out Mo made me think of, but I thought it was going to be Christopher Lloyd yelling I was frozen today! I don't know what that's from. I sure do like jackpots that aren't even half a million points. Motherfather!
    93:09
    Everyone out of the pool. Nice! Oh, come on. Good ramp. Obviously intentional. Always. Oh, I was like, damn it! I couldn't freaking, I finally opened up.
    93:25
    Motherfather. Son of a motherfather. Dammit! Hey, this is my only second time really playing pinball, so... Oh, yeah. Yeah, you're doing amazing. So I just opened up the recognizer, which was really nice. So maybe the next time.
    93:52
    Nice. He's kinder. He's got another multiball. Light sideball! Multiball! Get up there.
    94:16
    You got this. Here we go. Get in there! Seriously. She's not into it. That's really too bad, because the artist gem I got Jessica into...
    94:59
    No! Yes. Oh, yeah. Amazing. All right. Yeah, we need... Gem is lit. It's fine. It bounced out when that frickin' wall comes up every time.
    95:16
    Get in there! Yes! Nice. Gem, hurry up. F you, game. What do I need? Everything is lit. I've been in everything. Oh, do we need to wait for this to time out? I think we do. Once this times out, I think we'll be in Sea of Simulation.
    95:48
    So can you just not drain? Oh, or I'm in it. It wasn't lit. How do I know? All right, now we've got to hit the gem shot.
    95:59
    Yeah, he was yelling it. Dead bounce. Nice and easy on the control there, game. I just spit all over myself. By the way, when those bikes have lights.
    96:21
    It's going to be amazing. I know. All right, so here we go. Quora to Jen. It's not an easy day to capture.
    96:44
    Yes! All right, there's one. See, he's yelling just like I did. All right, now we need to hit all of the clue shots. So let's go Quora again.
    96:57
    So much for that. Let's go Scoop. What do we need? We need the right orbit now. Oh my... Darn it! Alright. We love pinball. Welcome to the stream. This game is kicking our butt.
    97:20
    Is that Matt? Huh? Is that the smash? Yes. We kicked ass. You got... We got a free game. Yay! I'm pretty sure you got the free game. We love pinball. This is Christine. Christine, that is Simon. He is in Germany. I imagine it is very early in the morning there right now. Look at me. I did that on purpose. I think you guys are eight hours ahead of us, so what is it, 8.05?
    97:49
    Totally did that on purpose. Son of a... What was that? Wait a second. Son of a biscuit-eating bulldog. Dammit. I've got to fire up and throw the thing. All right.
    98:00
    Spelling Clue also spots the leftmost clue shot. Spelling Clue. How do you... Oh, there. I touched the camera. Shouldn't have done that.
    98:12
    Let's see here. Somebody... We Love Pinball coming in with a subscription. Five months in a row. Six months. I'm sorry. Yeah, six months now. Great stream. Thank you very much, Simon. That is a hat drop. Thank you.
    98:28
    I'm wearing a hat now. I'm also trying to grow my hair back at the same time. Really? Yes. Okay. Wait a second.
    98:39
    And wunderbar. Guess what our first pinball tourney is called? It's in January, by the way. It is called wunderbar. That's awesome. All right. Let's do this. Pinbello.
    98:54
    Got it. There's the gem. I'm trying to get it up yet. This game likes to be beat up. And I... All right. Successful post-transfer. Quora!
    99:27
    Come on, Quora. You and me. No! Get out of there! So I'm just going to say, ball one, I can help beat you on the play. I thought I hit. Yes! Yay! All right. Knowing what the hell I'm doing. It's fine.
    99:47
    You have a pretty good idea what the rules are, though, right? Outer Spacey Tracy Diver. No! A tier one sub to Outer Spacey Tracy. Outer Spacey. That is four gifts. Damn it, Joe. And out of Stinky Tracy, enjoy those emotes. That's how I feel right now. Draining all over the place. Mother and father draining. Bullshit. Pinbrawled Langstein New Year's Tournament. I came up with a grade A pun.
    100:15
    Pinbrawled Langstein. That I don't get. What is the grade A pun? I feel like I missed it. Ah, no, it's not called Wunderbar. Okay. No, it's called the Pinbrawled Langstein. Lang Syne. Auld Lang Syne for New Year's Eve. I have no idea what you're saying. Auld Lang Syne, yes.
    100:35
    Thank you. Yes, I know that. Auld Lang Syne. Okay, I have no idea what that is. Sing it after this. Do you want to sing it, George? I would love it. Here, pause. Oh, wait. No, we're not. No? You can sing it. I don't know the song. How could I possibly sing it? Wait a second. Pull screen. Oh, God. I'm not singing. You're not singing? Oh, come on. Got all excited there for a second.
    101:00
    Oh, got another free gem. It's that, should all the quaintness be forgot and never brought to mind, should all the quaintness be forgot, and the days of old lame dimes. You're saying these things like I should know them, and I'm loving it right now.
    101:26
    We'll raise a cup of See What See You can kind of nudge it out I did it once earlier That was not nudging Yes Okay I will say I'm getting half the references now You're missing them I am missing a lot Yes I will play him the song I have never heard that song All Blame Sign It's really traditional New Year's Oh yes Nice shot!
    101:59
    Come on, Rex. Okay. Nope. Ooh! Yes! Nice. Ah! Nope, nope. Or that. Or almost a jam shot. You should get a recognizer. Also, try not to hold up both flippers at the same time. What? I will do what I want, George. Okay. No, I'm kidding. Thank you.
    102:31
    Nice, nice. You got that. Beautiful. It's down. All right. You're hitting the hell out of that horror shot right now. This is the longest I've gone, guys. No pressure.
    102:45
    No pressure. I totally know what I'm doing. It's fine. You got it. Yeah, that's down about... Yes! You nailed it. Little early, little early, it's okay. Down about halfway. That was way too close. Oh, damn it!
    103:02
    No! Look at my score right now. It's the highest I've been on the game. I'm so excited. Yes! I got so many quarter shots.
    103:14
    She has a lot of puns about her tonight. Recognize her. Can't say I've ever seen her before. Thank you! Thanks, Des Bronson. That was the best I've done all night. I'm super excited.
    103:27
    Oh, my gosh. Oh, you almost beat me. I was so close. I could have won it one more time. So close. All right.
    103:43
    So that was amazing. That was like the most professional. I know what I'm doing. It's like you were hitting the shots. Alright, let's see you do it again. There's the recognizer. Oh, it's there. There you go. Another recognizer. There you go. One more to get access to the recognizer. about 50% down. Beautiful. And there's the shot. There's one. This is, there you go. It's actually a really quick shot from the other side. All right, five more shots in there to start this multiball. There, four more shots. Beautiful. A little early, a little early. Nice. Three more shots. Three more. Did you nudge it out? Yes! Two more shots. You got this. You got this. Scoop. I'm just going to give you more time. I don't know what you need that time for. There's your Cora. Damage. Come on. Oh, come on. One more. one more come on that's ball one alright oh my god I'm 3.4 at ball one guys that was the best I could get all night I'm so I can't boom it right now there we go that's all done thanks guys if you've been watching tonight that's the longest I've held on to it so long thanks I almost got a multiball. I was really excited.
    105:44
    Uh-oh, somebody just did something. I will take that. Oxygen, yes. You know, at this elevation, it's pretty much useless, so.
    106:00
    MPG3K coming in with 50 bits. Thank you. Very much so. And welcome back to the stream. I hope your kids went down just dandy.
    106:15
    That's not good. All right, that was too late. Yeah, that was definitely a very bouncy lad there. Someone bring Christine some oxygen. Yes. I said at this altitude it doesn't do anything.
    106:36
    Oh! No, you definitely have a ball safe. Or not. Wait, okay. Sure. I am full of crap. Full of crap. You need one shot. That was a rude thing. One shot. That was the rudest thing I've ever seen. There was no ball safe. That was very rude.
    106:57
    Nothing like a good hot lad. I feel like that's an Urban Dictionary moment right there. So Lazarus was raised after three days in the Bible. So for whatever reason that is what people went with when the ball drops below the flippers and then bounces back up Oh nice That a Lazarus
    107:27
    I'm just going to call it a day. I may win this match. You winning this one. I don't know. I'm not going to call it for a time, but. Nothing quite like a good op-ed. I was about to say clue into this. Oh, what is that? Ball save, ball save. You do have a ball save. I forgot one. One shot. You got this. What? No! You had one shot. That was me throwing you that. Oh, that was terrible.
    107:58
    Damn it. No. That was freaking terrible. But you won. But you won! I have to go first this time! Guys, I won one match. I'm pretty excited.
    108:22
    Very well done. Alright, I get to go first this time. I'm so excited. The pressure kicked in. You'll get it. Yes! This time through, you are getting that multiball. Yes. I'm going to do it. It's the hope.
    108:40
    All right, what are we doing here? Uh, recognizer. So that, you can do that by the way. How did I not hit the tilt-bob? I don't know. How is that not?
    109:01
    How is that not? I feel like the tilt-bob's being really weird. Like, weird levels of pick, picky. Okay, we're cool She's going full wizard mode I appreciate all of you right now That's a good point Instead of going that route You could go light cycle The first time through So full plunge What you need to do is hit all the light cycle shots You got one No, maybe not Yeah, you got the right orbit So now you want to hit Nope, that is not it basically any other shot.
    109:44
    So hit that left ramp. Like Quora right there? Quora was actually fine. Ah, damn it! Here comes Portal.
    109:55
    Libations for everyone! Libations are important. Oh, that was great. Onward, kid. So, Bob told you that. Yeah.
    110:22
    That time. It was there that time. All right. Oh, yes. No, right down the middle. I've got to shoot again. Okay. You got this.
    110:41
    Nope. Or that. It's already lit, or unlit, I should say. So you already got that one. Okay. Blow it down.
    110:50
    All right. Left ramp. That one? Yes. Okay. How far down on the flipper? It is down about 75%. A little too far. Oh, sorry. Where is it? Oh, there it is.
    111:07
    Come on, we're there. T-Rex is saying, never mind on light cycle. Apparently it's set on hard. I don't think we've set this back to factory default.
    111:22
    It's definitely me. It's not. We got this. Oh, come on. Come on. I think you just need, like, one good combo.
    111:39
    Nice try. Pyramid! Great. Dammit. Alright, here we go. This is it. This is for all... I can't get that ramp. It makes me really upset.
    111:56
    Thanks for making it easy. That actually was the Orbit. I know, I know. Who's still not the R.A.P.? There you go. Thank you. See, that's what I was going to say.
    112:09
    All right. So we have light cycle lit. I need to get the ball over. And you can just do that. You can do that.
    112:24
    Everybody got their libations, right? That's not a lot to beat. I think you got that. All right. Left ramp. You've got this. Or Quora and hit the combo.
    112:55
    Come on. You can hit it right there. or not or that damn it it's raining out the side looks like someone's got a case of the Mondays doesn't it feel like it should be a Monday but tomorrow is Friday did you win or did I win you won I don't know these rules I just made them up he usually wins so he just keeps going to the same location all the time.
    113:38
    Excellent flipper skills there. Totally on purpose. Dark blue. Dark blue looks good. It's almost like I knew that was you. Alright, you got the recognizer.
    113:59
    Oh, see him in the dumb middle. See him in the dumb middle. And that, you kind of have to think about when you hit that shot.
    114:06
    When you let go, you want to make sure that you do it in such a way that where it's going to start bouncing off stuff, or that you're not angling it in that way. I have to do that a ton on TNA.
    114:29
    Alright, here we go. Giant. I'll take it. Yeah, it also gave me the jackpot. And then he starts making core gem shots like he's been making them all my days.
    114:59
    That was amazing. Battle district for just one multiball. Woo, getting the nudges, getting the nudges in. Five, four, four.
    115:29
    2 3 2 1 2 That's how you nudge it out of there. That is... Okay, okay. Oh, we have Coralette now. All right, already down to two. Two.
    116:54
    We got gems. Nice. I did not know that you could do that during a multiball. That was ridiculous.
    117:42
    There we go. Super! Let's do it again! All right, now we've got Quora lit. Okay. Nice. That felt okay. That felt fine.
    118:29
    Sure. We'll go with that. All right. I feel like nailing the quarter gem shot has been really, really helpful. That was a drop catch.
    118:54
    Restart it! All right. That's the highest score we've had tonight, by the way. Right before we end the game. Yay! I know, right? All right, clue. What do we got here? What do we need? We've got clue. Everything is lit, right? Oh, I just have to hit it. There could be something... I think Tron is solid at some point. Just light cycle for SOS.
    120:01
    Because you almost got Tron. Oh, okay. Right? So now this could be Sea of Simulation over here. But it should be lit. Like, that just bothers me.
    120:17
    Yeah. Win bonus. One million. Gem bonus, 2 million. Oh, it already gave me the first round because we had completed her.
    120:46
    Left orbit. One more shot. Right orbit. Darn it. Right orbit. Darn it. I saw a car we ran into down there.
    121:30
    Oh fuck! The music is... Gimme gimme gimme! ...the SOS is lit. Ah! That sucks. The night, by the way. The night before the evening. That was... It was okay. That wasn't a bad bonus either. Boom! Nice! And that, by the way... Huh? fine. Oh. Well, I mean, we've got to finish the game. Oh, yeah. Oh, wait, is it still game one? That was ball one. Oh, my God.
    122:01
    Can I not? You got this. All right, what are you going for? Are you going for rectifier or light? I'm going to try to go for that ramp. Recognizer, sorry. I'm going to try to go for that ramp. So how far down? To backhand the ramp, that is, it's doable, but it's really tough. Okay. It is down maybe about 20%, maybe a little less. Oh, too high. Now you've opened up the wreck. I would just go for that.
    122:31
    Or that. Hit it, hit it, hit it. Yeah! Nice move! Light cycle! You're in it! Wait, am I getting a multiball right now? Yes! Yay, my goal all night! All right, now you want to hit Quora to the ramp, and then you want that three-hit combo. and apparently you have to do that twice.
    122:54
    Oh, God. Okay. Multi-ball! Remember, I could have spelled clue to complete that. Darn it! T-Rex, you even mentioned, or sorry, Pez, you even mentioned that.
    123:09
    All right, get it in there. Or that, remember? So you have another multi-ball ready to go. Oh, damn it!
    123:17
    There's ball two. You need to hit that like five times and you're in your big multiball. But I hit a multiball, which I'm really excited about. Congratulations. Yay. We'll blow that up. All right. Yeah, don't need that orbit much in normal play unless you're going for end of the lines. Yay, multiball. All right. We have beaten Flim Gem. They're asking if you're on the new computer. I am not MPT3K on the new computer. So the new computer is over there. I have downloaded a ton of stuff. my guess is it'll be Monday at the earliest before we're on the new computer oh yeah it's sitting over there it's the coolest computer you've ever seen it has two screens built into the laptop oh my god it does she's like oh my god it does yes it's a laptop I know it's a full second screen it's a 4k full width half height of a normal screen completely touch sensitive and you can just drag stuff from one screen to the other.
    124:26
    I'll take another. Oh, we don't need Jim. We need to finish Clue. And we just learned from Ted that we can so how do we start oh wait, Clue is the faces.
    124:42
    No, I wouldn't do that. What? Watch if she doesn't come back and just plays with the laptop all night.
    124:53
    It is a really cool laptop. Recognizer. Do you need to calm it down? Nope. I needed to do that. Wow.
    125:23
    Completing all those modes really does up the bonus after every ball as well. Completing the lower rollover slides clue with the scoop. Okay, good. That is exactly what I needed to know. You got this. Recognizer, five shots.
    125:39
    Oh, come on. Nice. Good nudge. This is down about 25%. Perfect. No. Right. Damn it. I've got to get more nudgy. Damn it. It's room for growth. All right. We got this. Damn it. Oh, we relit Korra. This is good.
    126:04
    That's going in there. Nudge and nudge. Nice. intoxication Therefore they would use them as directions.
    126:27
    Oh, Dr. Perna is is shouldn't be artistic. Nice. Go, Breen. I already beat Quora, though. Do you get food? I do.
    127:03
    So, there we go. I just lit Clue, I think. I might be able to start it while I'm in this mode. Oh, we've got an extra ball, too.
    127:16
    Oh, my gosh. That was amazing. Start. We got extra ball. That's weird. We did not. We couldn't start Clue while we were in the multiball. That sucks.
    127:34
    Clue and Light Cycle picked up Tron in there. I think you have to spell it three times now. Oh my, I gotta shoot again.
    127:44
    Double drain. Alright. So now, I should just be able to start Clue right here. Right? Come on, give me Clue.
    127:59
    Yes. Shoot Clue Helmets. There's one. That did not count. There's two. There's three. Darn it, I think we ran out of time Oh my god Everybody!
    128:53
    What do we need? Light cycle again, it looks like? You know, Liz, going back to the Scoop so fast doesn't count that as a hit. It's a bug in the software. So never do that in software, I guess. You ain't complete crew, but at least he's lit now. Work on getting those light cycles. Thanks for the advice, says John. Yep.
    129:20
    The light cycles now. We've got one left. Oh, we've got one more. Yep, this is that one up around. Core to ramp for light cycle.
    129:49
    We'll go for that core shot to get you to that. Yep, yep. There we go. What did it just give us? Something I'll take that freebie
    130:18
    Oh It needs to go in there Come on. Damn it. All right. That wasn't awful. all right yes so we need to still need to step it up you guys thank you so much for hanging out tonight my name is george this was christine thank you the show is don't panic flip we stream monday tuesday and thursday for the most part we stream here occasionally we do uh on stream locations i think next week we have a fun old school game planned uh titanics just picked up like a laser cue or something like that.
