    high confidence · George mentions 'Drove to Kansas, drove back. Swapped with some very cool guys' and later discusses trading partners who 'go through pins faster than I do... 19 pins in two years'

Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Hello and welcome. Hopefully you guys can hear me. It looks like the mic is working. Hopefully you can see me. My name is George, Mini Pinballer. And to the hat, I am Mrs. Nesbitt. And Pinsomniac, welcome to the stream. Here we are, our special Sunday night stream. And without further ado, just going to show it off. Here's what we got in-house. Mini Pinballer immediately redeems 10 push-ups. That's amazing. Mini Pinballer, thank you so much. And this is what we've got here tonight, guys. Black Knight, sort of a... I got the nice jacket on, guys! What's up with the push-up train? A few minutes of flip stream, a.k.a. caviar that is unfair. Two windows up at the same time. That's right, I completely spaced when I set this up to put a drink holder on it. That's very, very unfortunate. All right. so 30, 40 pushups now Caviel Midheart aka Flipstream you guys, welcome to the stream and welcome to a really hopefully fun stream we're going to play some pinball I have put maybe nothing nothing god I love that sound and at some point we're going to change it Or at least we're going to crisp it up. We're going to bring it in. Oh, my God. I'm just thinking about doing 40 push-ups right now. All right. Let's get the push-ups out of the way. Let's see here. Taking the jacket off. Which camera? No, I don't want to move with that. I also don't have direct video set up on this. Flip stream. Thank you very much. Two years streaming. Today, my very first stream on Twitch was for 12 minutes two years ago on May 10th. Kind of exciting. At the same time, we hit 800 followers. Keviel, this does count as one of your extra streams. Pinsomniac Sunday stream hype, yes. Feels like five? Yeah. It probably feels like a lot more than two. It feels like I've been doing this forever. But I'm going to do 20 push-ups first. And then I'll do another 20 in a bit. Oh yeah, that's what I need. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. Alright, we'll do another 20 here in a minute. You remember, it's still only two more after tonight, though. Caviel, I feel like I was caught up at this point. Maybe that's not accurate, though. Oh, man. There's a lot of pin moving today, a lot of driving. Drove to Kansas, drove back. Swapped with some very cool guys. Black Knight sort of rage. The other one is not set up, but maybe you can kind of see it. I don't know if you can. but the second pin is there it's there somewhere um oh that's right there's no beer here all right jacket oh yes uh k k what's the k's just don't say it through oh yeah right and pro it is yes all all pros. Okay. I guess without further ado, let's turn up the music. Oh, that's how you can see it. Okay. But you can't tell what that is? Okay. Shooter, welcome to the stream. So, should be a fun night. We're going to play the new Black Knight Sword of Rage. We're going to kind of figure it out. I haven't done any research at all. I feel like a really bad host at this point. I do apologize. I should probably know a little bit of how to play this game, but I just haven't, haven't had the time yet today. I literally just got finished getting all of this set up. What took the longest, uh, you'll notice the, uh, the posts thought ahead this time, unlike Ghostbusters, when I found out after, when we were done with the evening, that the posts were set to the easy setting. These were also both set to the easy setting. These ones are a pain in the butts to move, though. Not only does it screw into the table from the top, but there's also a locking bolt underneath, and none of it you can ever do at any point with your fingers. Every twist and turn needs to be held on both sides and twisted, and it's like a screw that frickin' long. Very, very irritating. No joke, it took me about 20 minutes to move this one to medium. So I ran out of time. I didn't do it on the right. It said to easy, but watching Fliptronic earlier, they said, well, just remove the rubbers for now. And I thought that was great. So this one's in the easy down here, but I removed the rubbers from both the in-lane post and the out-lane post on the right side. We'll have to deal with that for now. Let's see here. Wait, I can say that that would be cheating. Flip stream. Wait, you really can't? That's a pretty dead giveaway for me. Shooter, thank you. Yes. Taking a note from Faye and trying to dress up for a special stream. Uh-oh. Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mundus. Wolfman, this is one of the two secrets. Yes, it is. Let's see. Your biggest complaint is the Magna Save being on the lock bar. WTF is up with that. Flipstream, the, like, five games I've put on this, that is all I worked on. was being able to find the middle spot. All right, chums, I'm ready, guys. Let's do this. Zero! Legends! Oh, my God, he just ran in. Electronic, welcome to the stream. Becca and Jordan, you guys are amazing. Thank you so much for that raid. My hat's off to you. And as you guys suggested, I was just going over the fact that the posts were all set to easy. I was able to, within 20 minutes, move one of them because they're ridiculously tough. So I moved the left. The right posts are still set to easy for this stream, but I did take the rubbers off of both the outlane post and the inlane guide post as well. So hopefully that kind of balances. Add to that that the bubble is literally touching the top of the level right now, and the game has set up quite aggressively. Short of this right here, I want to move it to medium and then put the rubber back in. Fliptronic says, Black Knight, OMG, yes, ha! It's going to be brutal, exactly. Yeah, I am really looking forward to kind of dialing this in. I feel, here's my thought. In the five games I have played this, if I was accurate, I feel like this game would be kind of easy. Even at a brutal setting, it seems relatively straightforward. word. And by the fifth game, I think I cracked a hundred million and I was kind of, I was, I was kind of, I was more paying attention to your stream, Fliptronic, than I was anything else. Uh, it's going to be brutal as is tradition. Bubble bobble. Yes. Just Eric. Welcome to the stream. All right, you guys. Uh, yeah. So until you're forced to hit the center shot, which is dangerous AF. I had to do that. I didn't have to do it. I could have hit one of the other two shots, but I'm like, Oh, I'll try the middle shot. See what happens. immediately drain. It's cool. I'm going to hit the edge of the shot. Nope. Immediately drain. That's, yeah, it's, it's awful. And tonight we are drinking, where is it? This is a strawberry rhubarb sour ale. Uh, it is absolutely amazing. This is one of, I'm allowing myself to drink three tonight and who knows, we might get crazy and do a shot of gin. What? Straight down the middle beer and cheers. All right. Let's get this going. I'm going to turn the music up. So I went with a heavier mix this evening. It is Pandora, so I feel like I can't be all to blame if it sucks, but it seemed like heavier music was better than listening to Anthrax over and over and over again. Maybe at some point we can drop the attenuation and listen to that music and turn Pandora off, but we'll see how it goes. All right, guys. Let's figure this game out. Good start. Great start. All right, here we go. So the middle looks open for something. It looks like maybe I'm going to qualify a mode in the middle, and Venetic loves this game so much. Maybe that's what just happened? It looks like, yes, that is what happened. Cool, like I said, this game is going to be super easy, barely an inconvenience. You can do the alternate soundtrack, Mini Pinballer says. Because even, you know, and if you've been, actually, whether or not you have been a follower for a while is going to come in tonight. Because when we do the Translight giveaway about halfway through the stream, we're also going to do some merch giveaways. And the merch giveaways are going to require that you answer a question first. And it's going to be something having to do with something you'll have learned, I guess, on the stream over the past few months. One of them, just if you've been on recently, you definitely know. Steve Ritchie will tell you just get better. Yes, he actually tells you that. All right. And, all right, first mode. Looks like we're going the ice people. So, was this a one-to-one swap with Family Guy? Fliptronic, it kind of was. I got a significant... No, I should say the other game, the one behind me that nobody's actually guessed yet, was the kind of one-to-one. So the game right there that isn't quite set up yet, that game was close to one-to-one. I ended up getting a discount on this game and paid cash for this and I think got a pretty good deal on it. So now I feel like my goal is to hit the shots that are blue, right? There we go. Apparently I can do kind of a post-transfer. There we go War hurry up Oh no I tried to Magna save I tried So 2 to 1 cop Star Trek pro call. Flipstream, thank you. Yes. Yeah, so we got a, there is a Star Trek pro behind me. So that was the kind of one-to-one was for Star Trek. And then I got a really good deal I feel like on this. And the guys I was trading with were super cool. I would definitely do trades with those guys again. On top of that, they actually go through pins faster than I do, which I think is really, really saying something. I think he said 19 pins in two years, and he had a whitewater right now that he was trying to get rid of. So, I don't particularly want a whitewater. Like, there's a game I'm positive I will get bored of very quickly, but it is a really cool game. Hashtag goals, right? That was the other thing. I had to tighten up the tilt bob. I had to move the components over here. Wax the table. Waxing the table was no big deal. I'm a stickler for making sure that when I start playing a game, it's clean and there's no debris in there that are going to cause it to get damaged that may have been knocked loose while... while moving. And we did, I mean, moved quite a bit. Drove the car, truck, for eight and a half hours today. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Like that. Brutal. Okay, so now, apparently, we need to do something to qualify Mud Bog. At the same time, I could also light a lock. I feel like I should go for the light lock. Faye! Coming in with that hot host. Thank you very much, Faye. Once again, I don't know, it's a special night. I was told I needed to dress up. I'm just taking a cue from Faye. So you guys, if you have not checked out Faye, you should. Awesome streamer. And yeah, man, Black Knight Pro. And check that out, right there. It's not set up. I didn't have enough time to get it all done. But yeah, man, I'm jazzed. I got all the new toys. Here we go. Lock and a mystery. Five-year mission challenge. That's the goal, right? Yeah, to get to the third one. Cool. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Luckily, we do have that shoot again. And let's see here. Joe Soap, welcome to the stream. That's so hard to get to. I don't think I've seen anyone get to it. So, I mean, it's kind of a, it seems like it's a fun target. I don't know that I will ever get there, but Star Trek is just such a great game. Wow, that was, please give me a shoot again. Thank you. That really, that nudge doesn't help at all. Okay, so we have a lock shot, but we also, I think, qualify Mud Bog by going right there. And now we have the lock shot and the start the mode at the same time. At least that's kind of what I'm figuring out here. Cool, there goes ball three. There are so many flip names, yes. Multitasking pretty hardcore tonight. Are you working on the house? Wait, what did I do? What did I say? Multitasking, what did I say? More sheetrock fun. Caviar jumping back and forth. it. What did I say that I somehow gained five push-ups? I am one beer down. I don't know. That drain. Oh, did I swear when it drained? Or five push-ups for that awful drain? Pinball Whiz! Wow, I need to go back. I have so much work I have to do. It's never done. Pinball Whiz, thank you very much for that, host. Pinball Whiz, you guys, if you have not checked out Streams Games, Streams Pinball, super fun to watch. Go give them a follow. Who else? There was also Fliptronic, who raided us earlier. If you have not checked out Jordan and Becca, Honestly, I doubt that at this point. They've been streaming a ton. Super fun couple. Go give those guys a follow. There's also the Pinsomniac, Faye, and Flipstream. Oh, and look, and Pez Johnson. So give all of those people follows if you get a chance. They're all wonderful content creators. No joke. Just go out and just do it, right? And Mr. Kennedy, Pez Johnson, welcome to the stream. Where are you finding these guys to trade with Pez? I contact people on a weekly basis. I just throw out weird, hey, would you be interested in this weird trade? I've got like a wheelbarrow with extra grass and sod outside, and the off chance that's what you're looking for. Raw pinball. Welcome to the stream, and thank you very much for that follow. I think we just hit 810. I need to put up the follow goal now for 900. Tonight we've got a bunch of fun stuff planned. We've got the new pin, which is going to be super fun. It's set up ridiculously brutal right now. And I think we're going to keep it that way. This game, I think, needs to be set up brutal because I want Steve Ritchie to be yelling at me constantly. I also want somebody out there to have the topper back in stock. Nowhere is it available anywhere. I have never wanted an add-on to a pinball machine ever as much as I want the topper for Black Knight in my short pinball life, which is coming up on three years. Let's see here. I think mostly, yeah, mostly, well, Pimside and Craigslist. Those are the two different locations. All right, here we go. Lock shot. Totally got it. Here we go. Wow. I hit that. I hit the magnet. Oh, I think it just lit. But I went, you guys saw, like, the reaction is there, go to middle to save. I feel like that's half the battle. I'm fine with that. Backhand nightlocks, bro. Easy. Lobster sticks to magnet. One of my favorite names on Twitch, flat out. You're absolutely right. That should be a backhand. I should try a post-transfer. All right. So just like that, I think is what you were saying. That's perfect. I'm going to do that. Honestly, that was the second post-transfer I had tried. All right, let's go up the middle, start, uh, qualify our mode. No! Whew! There it is. There it is. That was, that was a serious live catch attempt. Uh, that did not work. There we go. Whew! So now we're in a mode let's backhand that light lock cool that left out lane I think is going to be awful this entire game especially, yeah, yeah, going to be awful this is pretty much a backhand post transfer works great seriously, don't cross the table ever on this table okay, okay, I gotcha I feel like the middle shot is also easier from the left side Oh, I, wait, did I miss more push-ups? I still owed 20. Uh, double-checking, pinball with Zosting, got that. Okay, no, no, no. There we go. I said boons. Uh, that lock is always safe, except when it's not. The tomato guy, welcome to the stream. Very well said. It's kind of like while you're out in public. Yeah. There's a there's a lady on Facebook who who has commented on how how inconsistent the the messages from from, I guess our political figures or anyone who has the base of the media is with what we should be doing with regards to COVID-19. And it's an amazing video. That is literally the best description I can give you right now, though, is there is a lady who is doing that. I don't remember her name, nor do I have links to get you access to that. All right, so don't go cross. Don't cross the streams. I'm going for the lock. I got it, I got it. There we go. Alright, so now I'm going to try to hit that shot. No. Let's try that again. Actually, that totally counted. And that was TomatoGuy2016. Thank you so much for that follow. That is appreciated. We're going to backhand that left orbit, because apparently that's a thing you can do. You said everything was a backhand. But now I know. See? Backhand lock is money. Lobster sticks to magnet. You couldn't have been more right. This game is pretty cool. I gotta say, I am so sorry I don't have a better camera angle right now. Like, the Black Knight is pretty B.A. Get up there! Get up there! Cool, that's obviously what I wanted to do there. All right. What did he just say? Okay. Let's see here. Laser Los, welcome to the stream. I thought I heard the dulcet tones of Chris Marley in the background. And Lobster Sticks. God, what a cool name. Let's see here. Angle of Good as is, I think. No, I guess what I'm saying is I kind of want a straight-up shot. You can kind of see the, uh, above there-ish. I've got that other little camera above my logo, by the way. It's really hard to move in a dress jacket. Hey, I don't know how you do it. Uh, so what I don't want to do is ever go forehand on this game, right? Right? That's what I'm supposed to do. I don't, I don't want to hit anything right now. Nothing is lit enough. Oh my god, that is so scary! Gosh. Darn it. Let's see. Plays of those. One time I played Black Knight 2000 on location. The upper flipper was dead. Sad day, Codeman. Black Knight 2000 is so much fun, but it is a location game. I picked one up, and I got bored of it. All right, thumbs up. Let's do this. Zero! Oh my god, he just ran in. Oh my god, he just ran in. Try 374. Thank you very much for joining us. That raid was amazing. I wonder what it was that you were streaming. Did you have fun, or were you like, this is too late, I just went to bed. And if you're just joining us, we are streaming Black Knight Sword of Rage. Super fun, just figuring out a game. The game, feel free to, what's that phrase where the people tell you how to play, I'm completely good with that. So, because I honestly, like, I've read this, and I've played it for points, which means just basically get into a multiball. And, uh, let's see here, duh, backspeed, thank you, backspeed-ish things, great, there it is, okay. We're all, we're all there now. Alright, now we can start a mode, there. And there it is. We'll try to find my place in the diary. I thought I had so much more time. Oh my god. Oh, my God. We're going to talk laser loads and DPF into a meetup. Dude, we met at Pinberg last year. All right. So we did also just reset this back to factory default settings. Codefin TV coming in with 10 more push-ups. All right. All right. So we've got to do 30 more push-ups. Also, you guys, any high scores I put up on this tonight, throwing it on Pindigo. Awesome app to keep track of high scores. definitely gotta throw that one in there because Indigo sent me a cool shirt and on top of that I literally used the app, there was no change for me whatsoever, that's wonderful oh my god 30, 40, 50, 60 70 awesome, that's 70 that's 70 pushups alright you guys are amazing If we're going to do 70 push-ups, I can do, right now, I can do 50 in a row tops. Let's shoot for 50. Oh, my gosh. This is better than I think. Oh, yeah. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, You guys are amazing Thank you so much Alright, no more crop scan. Pim Stadium, welcome to the stream where everybody's making me do push-ups. That's... Thank you. Woo! Oh, Flipstream, thank you for clipping that. Oh! Alright. Flipstream, thank you very much, or sorry, I said Flipstream, I meant Penn Stadium. Thank you very much for the bits. Flipstream did the, wow, I can't talk right now. I need to work out more. Hey, Flipstream, you gifted me a sub for a DPM last weekend. I didn't get a chance to say thank you. Cloudy, a cloud yells back. That's awesome. Okay. I'm out of beer. So we're going to play one more game to put the jacket back on. I mean, this is a classy stream now. Oh. Yeah. All right. cool whoo flip slash and go not that classy alright here we go let's see if that improved my game playing abilities alright so not going to backhand I'm sorry, we are only going to backhand. That's very different. I love Tool. I've seen them twice. Alright, we're cool. There's no reason to do that game. I think I've seen Tool once. I've seen Incubus I think four or five times I went and saw Vampire Weekend recently and there's only a few bands I think I really really want to see apparently I missed Nine Inch Nails last year at Red Rocks and that was a pity because they were really high on my list okay so wait a second Adley Stump is a funny description of what to do or not do during COVID maybe that's who that was Tomato Guy It did not improve his game-playing abilities. Lock two balls, light third lock, start mode, blow it up with multiball. Lobster sticks to magnet. I like where your head's at. I haven't seen two alive, but I've seen a perfect circle. Weird owl or buzz. I thought Garth Brooks makes the work. That's pretty cool. Also, where are the lighting? Outlane ball save from the left. Oh, cool. Okay. Let's do that. Did I mention that we have this game set up so brutal right now? Mr. Pies, that one. That one wasn't even close. All right. let's just qualify a mode. I know we crossed. We said we weren't going to cross the streams, but I did it and I apologized. Cool. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. I guess, yeah, that right there, that's exactly what we're going to do. Missed it by that much. Ramrod, I did get the newest Tool album, and here's my issue with Tool, is that I feel like you always have to listen to their albums several times, and what sucks is I have, and I just don't like any particular song on the new album. So I don't know why I had to zoom in for that conversation, but I felt like I was saying something very negative, and I wanted it to be really personal when I said it, so you understood and you could sympathize with all the facial expressions, because I love Tool, and I want to have loved the new album because it's Tool, but I got nothing. It just doesn't feel good. Midheart, as far as I can tell, these are the stock. I have a whole bunch of Titans downstairs. So very likely for the next stream, I'll swap these out for Titans. Let's see here. Even with headphones. I don't think I've listened to them with headphones. That's interesting. I think I've only ever listened to it in the car, or truck, I should say. Full front to back. You go back to front, Laser Low says. Yeah. And Ramrod, that's what I did. full album, start to finish, and usually have to do that two or three times. Like, Lateralist was not an album short of, like, their one popular song. It wasn't an album I could appreciate until, like, the third or fourth time I listened through the album, and that did it. And I feel like I've hit the three or four times on the newest album. I don't even remember the name, because I, apparently, I just don't enjoy it enough. But I, you know what? One day I'm gonna, like, today was great. I listened to AWOL Nation's newest album, which was actually pretty decent. Apparently, I'm a fan of Primus. Deadflip streamed Primus the other day, and I kind of had it on in the background while I was working, and I was like really nodding my head to the Primus soundtrack on the Primus pinball machine, and I'm like, huh, I wonder if I like Primus. So I listened to kind of an Essentials of Primus. Yes, Primus sucks. Now, I kind of understand that. That was the marketing campaign. But, yeah, apparently I like Primus, too. So today was a lot of Mother's Day phone calls while I was driving around for eight hours and listening to new stuff. And at some point I'll go back through another one of those strips and do the new Tool album again. Anyway, I know a guy who runs Silicon Bands on all his games. It's like you're playing pinball on the moon. And Midheart, that is what I do. If it's my game, I put Titans on them. I enjoy the bounciness, the spin you can put on them. I feel like it's a more fun, if not better. I mean, it might be more difficult, I guess, because it feels like the stock ones that Stern puts on there kind of deaden the ball a little bit as opposed to bounce. But I don't know. I like it. Zoom into your lips and say tool socks. No, I'm not going to say that. Blink's new stuff is like they never took a break. All right, guys. That was a great stream. It was a really good stream. I honestly, I, Deadflip kills it every single time. He's on screen. He's absolutely amazing. So I'm going to break for a second. And I'm going to go grab a beer. I will be right back. Open your eyes, what can you see around? Wind of the open sky, over the spire of sound This is a dream, getting the royal scar Holding a diamond blade Throwing it far Holding your breath still You turn the right wheel Just stand and wait until You see the flag You got it Then try to tell me You got the wrong guy You got the wrong guy You got the wrong guy All right, guys. we are on to beer number two let me show you this one, I'm really really liking this, it's called Rainbows and Unicorns IPA, this is a tropical IPA that is amazing, Flipstream subscribing at tier three, Flipstream aka Caviel aka Bee, thank you very much, my hat's off to you and welcome, enjoy the heck out of out of those tier three emotes. I almost said emotes. And the adjectives and pronouns were all leading up to a plural noun at the very end, but I had to switch it, thus it broke the rest of the sentence. I apologize for that. If we could step that back, I would say enjoy your level three emote, and that would be so much better. Ian Black, welcome to the stream. Yeah. Fix your partner level, George. My partner level. We need a lot more people watching concurrently to even dream of the idea of partner. And I still have a full-time job. I still have a full-time job and other work. So what was it we were going to do? I still owe 20 push-ups right now. We will get to that. my arms are still ridiculously sore at the moment. We're done with that beer. I got to go back there and do this. We've got that. Switching back over to Maine. That's right. We got rid of this dooming, which I, uh, yeah, right. Play pinball. Who does that? Who plays pinball? Um, oh, that is the other thing. So it's a quarter after 11, uh, around 1130 arms is sweaty. Mom's spaghetti. I absolutely love that. Lobster sticks to magnet. Uh, bring back the chin. I, I'm not sure what the chin is, but the beer is definitely here. And we've got a Translight giveaway in roughly about 30 minutes and we've got some fun. You know what? We're going to go back. Hold on. It's really hard to do things in a jacket. Who's idea was this? Oh my god. Alright, Translate option number one. Check that out. Gilligan's Island, if that is your thing. There's the Gilligan's Island Translight that could be yours. After that, wait a second, after that we have Street Fighter 2. That is just really awkward. The artwork on this is weird. I'm not an artist, and I feel like I could do much better artwork. I apologize guys, if the artist for Gottlieb happens to be watching this stream right now, but you could have stepped your step up. But it's Street Fighter and a lot of people. I know, I'm really selling it right here. All right, here we go. If we could upgrade levels of awkwardness, this does it right here. World Poker Tour. It doesn't get much more awkward than this entire thing, especially, I feel like you can zoom in. Look at the size. Nope, there's no way to do that without zooming in on the bus. But the old guy's hand is the largest hand you have ever seen. His hand is bigger than his entire face and neck put together, as I think somebody pointed out a couple screens ago. So that is also another another one you could go for. Wait for it. Wait, we got two more to go through. There's also Class of 1812. My personal favorite. If I was going to vote for one of these, it would definitely be this. And arguably the worst pinball game yet biggest money-making game out there. Lastly, we do have a South Park, a South Park Translate. I think all of these were pulled out of physical machines, so they're not all in absolutely perfect condition. Also, there was another component to this, which is right here. Right? For three easy payments of $19.99, you too could be the proud owner of, check this out. So I ordered a Jurassic Park set of pin blades from Pin Graphics. And thank Aaron my favor. They sent me three different sets of pin blades. One for, what is this, the Simpsons, right? And another one, they sent me duplicates for Jurassic Park. And the owner, Joe, who I spoke to twice, apologized for sending me so many copies and told me if I knew anybody who owned either of these pinball machines, be a cool friend and give them to them. So here we go. Here's your opportunity to get these really cool pin blades. So you can opt for, we're going to do two giveaways for either a Translate or one of these two pin graphics displays, and also then we're going to do two shirt giveaways, but that's going to require you answer a question. Hey, don't panic, let's still take the GI overall. Galaga King, welcome to the stream. You still would take Gilligan's Island overall. I get that. It took me a second. Oh, winner, winner, chicken dinner. And the answer is 42. Always. The answer is always 42. So without further ado, let's get in there and play some more pinball. I honestly, I love the jacket, guys, but I can't play pinball in the jacket. The jacket is really, really constricting. Okay, catching back up. Meeun JP stuff. Okay. Apparently that's a long that is a very long hand Shooter McGavin. I was just deciding whether or not I should tell you guys about something I was planning on that was great something I was planning on doing for the stream I think I'm going to hold off and that's going to be really hard I'll probably tell you about it in like six minutes. But until then, I'm just going to pretend like I have the ability to withhold this information from you. Don't worry. Ted says he hasn't said anything. The question is, what is Georgia's favorite mode on Family Guy? Let's dream. You better, everybody better have their fingers ready to type, because that is exactly what one of the two questions is. Now I don't know if I should do that one, but I don't have a second question prepped. Alright. Alright. Mode is qualified. And now mode is initiated. All right, what am I supposed to hit here? Like that, I think? All right, and Jenga. Left lane is the best lane. Spinners are awesome. Spinners are pretty good in this. All right, we've got a lock. That's our first lock, and we're on ball two. There's our mode completion, I think. I don't know what else I needed to hit there. Did I run out of time? All right, lock shot. I mean, you guys said don't go cross. I apologize. I crossed the streams there. How did I know? Spinners are also collecting them. It's awkward. Also, the war. I'm going for the middle. I feel like if I walk away with this going for the middle to save on the right out lane, this will have been a success. Backhand that lock. Tomato guy, I get it. I should totally backhand the lock. Backhanding that lock right there. Just like that. I know how we can fix this situation. Mr. Kennedy, no, no, no. I started that game with the jacket on. We need to play an entire game without a jacket. I think that's what... You have the magnets in place on nudge, otherwise it's too late, right? I like the premium LEs specifically so you can stack multiballs, but I agree, a two-ball quick multiball would be a great addition to the game. Yeah, I just don't like the upper play field. I haven't enjoyed any games I've played on the premium in LA. Just, I mean, lost... Oh, wow. Cool. Apparently that kind of nudge is not good. Magna is how you collect on the super. Obviously chatting at the same time is the way to go about doing this. We got to lock. All right, so we've got something here. I guess we can lock. And lock. Start a mood. We've got... Okay, so we've got a mode ready. All right, there we go. There we go. So we're going to lock and start our mode right now. What is this? Darts? It collects your super feature jackpot. Okay. And wait, are you saying I've been deep into 300 million and not know how to collect super jackpot? FML. FML. There's an add-a-ball, it looks like, on the left ramp. Definitely used that way too early. Oh! No! That was mean! And... My beer is all the way over there. Free game! And my beer is all the way over there. Free game! And... how many times do you have to hit lock? Apparently twice the second time around. Just shoot ramp, then hit button. Okay. That's for the super, I'm guessing, right? Looks like we've got to hit this right orbit. There we go. And let's just grab some more shots. Yes, two hits to light lock, second time around. Okay, good. Magma Beast Defeat. Extra ball. Okay, all right, we're doing some things. That flail is kind of evil. Music is always on lock on the panel. I don't know what on lock means. And RVGTJE, not going to try to pronounce that. Anyway, one, two, three, welcome to the stream. Hey. Thank you. I wouldn't describe it that way personally, but that's appreciated nonetheless. All right. Mystery light lock. Wow, I did not know that you could backhand that. Okay, good to know. Good to know. Here we go. All right, so we got Locklit. I know you guys said backhanded. I'm sorry. I'm like, at the same time, I am trying to nail and dial in the shots a little bit. It's like game number seven. That is really not good. That was... Hi! I, Couchington, welcome to the stream. Thank you very much for that follow. We are approaching 900, I feel like, on our 800 stream. You guys are amazing. There we go. Alright, alright, alright. I mean, we're doing things, making shots. Not like that we aren't. Let's try that. Nope, that was not the shot. There it is. Left orbit. Nope. That's right, we got that ball save, because that's what laser looks like to do. All right, there we go. We're going to backhand here. Hit that shot. All right, now we've got what looks like the right orbit. Obviously, the sling bank was the way to go. And we're back in multiball, I think, right? Woo-hoo! Thank you. All right. And there. That, oh my God, was totally intentional. Oh, shoot. Did you see that? It denied me. I wanted that shot. I'm like, oh, it's an easy shot. I'll just go for that one. If you want to stop the ball out of the lock kick out, you've got to post catch. You've got to post catch. Oh, right, you've got to hit it into the bottom of the post, yeah. Apparently that's a move I'm going to have to work on for this one. Nine-inch nails, loving it right now, loving it. Wow, that was so quick! Oh my god, stop! There we go. Okay, there we go. Alright, here's a good opportunity to work on that. Nope, that totally worked. I don't know if you guys know this. I'm sure, like, the ball moves really, really quick here. Not so much here or here, but right here. I thought I hit you in the shoulder. You're one letter away from night mode. Oh, my God. Stop. Literally, in one phrase. What? Uh, it's a little later than you'd think. Okay, okay. Yeah, I gotta work on that, apparently. What's funny is I'm gonna have to go back to Deadflip's, uh, uh, tutorials. Literally, uh, once somebody told me, uh, to watch Deadflip online, I went, and he mentioned he put together a whole bunch of, uh, animated... Oh, shoot! I, I wasn't even paying attention. Uh, and animated gifs to show how to do certain... Yeah, that is... That's weak. That's weak sauce on my part. I would have put in Kuching Tan. And, by the way, I don't know if I said it, but thank you very much for that, Faldo. Totally lost right now as to what I'm... Pro move, George. Woo-hoo. We're listening to Nine Inch Snails. We're technically playing pinball. I'm getting my butt kicked here. This is a pretty standard night. It just happens to be a Sunday. All right, so we got one more game. Oh, sorry, that's right. I was talking about the gifts. Those gifts are amazing. Literally how I went through and taught myself how to play and do every move that I know currently how to do was from Deadflip's gifts, because those were amazing. Like air defense, Deadflip, all of those, they're perfectly illustrated right on his website. He put all of those together. It's amazing. Right, yeah, so I will go back to that just to see how to do the post stop, which I know is when the ball kind of comes up, you hit it, you hit the flipper, and I think it hits the post, and then it stays because it has consistently just enough momentum to make it up and over, but I can't. What I tried a few times earlier was to nudge it at kind of like the Jurassic Park spot and get it to go to the other side. That don't work. Also, make sure you are activating supers when you hear the call out. center shot, and then upgrading them in the left lane. Okay? Okay. Left lane. Not left orbit, left lane. Next game, play with one hand. I, you know what, I don't enjoy the left hand, I don't, uh, one-handed stuff. Whoa, that sounded really personal. Um, I don't enjoy, uh, I don't enjoy playing pinball one-handed, and I feel like it doesn't make for great entertainment, so, uh, I'll let other people do the one-handed stuff. If I will do, we have a bunch of people visiting this week. We have Christine and another member from our league. We're going to do some socially distant face masks and cleaning stuff on Tuesday. And then Thursday, we have a bunch of people coming in. I think we've got Ty, the Pinsomniac, and Christine again coming in for a foursome on Thursday this week. This stranger is always great at it. Okay, then play with your feet. Sorry. There are better places and people to go if that's what you're looking for. Oh, yeah. Perfect. No, seriously, that was great. Ooh, I almost got a multiball out of that, which actually I think would have been really bad. All right, come on. Let's work on this. whatever, I'll just four-hand it. And thank you. Thank you for it. One-handed is a great way to learn to trust. Sorry, hold on, wait. It's a great way to learn to trust bounces, the laser lows. I completely agree. And I have definitely gone through entire evenings where, that's awesome. Like, if you guys remember on TNA, I have that really ridiculously silly move that never works, and it's the, uh, it's the, uh, shats the bed. Um, I don't want to tell you. I'm not, I'm not going to say specifically how many, but there are evenings I have spent a significant, a non-insignificant amount of time practicing that shot to get to the point where I can make it happen, like, one out of five times. That's not good. By the way the tilt on this is set very tight I fairly certain that was a double That fine I just going to do just the tip to get it over there Chatting the bag 40% of the time, it works 100% of the time. There we go. Now we're going to lock and start the mode at the same time. One out of five is better than zero. Exactly. Fez, I'm happy with 20%. I do work for the government. At 20%, we're relatively ecstatic. That's really not good. Wait, what song? Wait, WTF, cancel that. Wait, The Stranger is the name of the alternative newspaper. Yeah. Oh, that's great. The Ramp Reject Down the Middle is what got me through the first round of States this year. LOL, Game 7-2. Thank you, Steve Ritchie. I'm really wanting this game. How is the Pro versus the Premium? Molly Hatchett, welcome to the stream. that is an excellent question there are people who will swear by the premium and there are people who will swear by the pro personally I think the flow of the pro is more enjoyable and that upper playfield is not worth $1800 or whatever the difference is in fact the premiums are so inexpensive right now you can get them I feel like for like $62 maybe 6300 on the high side. You can probably get them even cheaper. So I personally don't like the upper playfield. I feel like this game was awful until I finally played the pro and I'm like, oh, just don't think of it like Black Knight. Think of it as a game that has a Black Knight character in it. And I really had a good time at Pin Masters with it. But that is me. There are so many people, arguably better players, who appreciate the premium and the LE more than I do. Pro requires more skill. It doesn't add much. Whichever is in front of me, no upper play field is blasphemous. Wolfman, I said the exact same thing. How can you have Black Knight with no upper play field? It's not Black Knight at that point, and I would agree. It's not Black Knight. It's Black Knight Sword of Rage, which is not... It's a part of the series. It's a spin-off. It's like Rogue One. Oh my God, there you go. In Star Wars, there's episodes four, 5, 6, and Rogue One. Nothing else matters in the Star Wars universe. And Rogue One was amazing. I would put them in this order. Empire Strikes Back, Rogue One, A New Hope, Return of the Jedi. That's it. This is Black Knight 2000 if you're looking for a good time on location, I think is amazing. Then I would take Black Knight Sword of Rage for the home pro, maybe then premium, and I would never take Black Knight because I would just get bored and sell it really quickly. Eon Black. Mandalorian. I keep forgetting to put Mandalorian in. It's so, it's so different. It's, it takes itself just seriously enough for me to have watched it. It was almost like the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or everything that DC has ever done with regards to television. It's like that. Why am I dying right now? But it's a little bit better. It's like All of those DC shows like Superman and The Green Arrow, those guys have moments where they're just having fun and they really don't care. And then there's really serious episodes and they go back and forth and I don't like that. Mandalorian never drops to the funny level, but it still seems to me like its borderline doesn't have that Game of Thrones movie aspect to it every time. So I really enjoyed it, but I don't want to think of it as part of the Star Wars universe yet. Sandworm is kicking my butt. I'm going to jump back in. I'm going to jump back in. I feel amazing right now for having done that. I don't know about you guys, but I feel awesome. Oh my god, did you hear Steve Ritchie said, have you ever hit anything after whistling? That was great. Uh, the only meaningful movie is Empire, the rest is fluff. Wait a second. Yeah, so, it's not that I dislike Mandalorian. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Uh, it just, it just, it, it wasn't produced like every episode was a movie. I mean, it had Bill Burr in an episode, and that guy just hates everything. And, I don't know, unless he's making his jump into acting, which just seems like the amount of acting coachiness that guy would need seems significant. We had a discussion earlier about Star Wars. In the end, R2 holds the key to everything. He does. Oh, crap. I mean, obviously intentional. Air defense! I am so sorry. I apparently cannot talk in multiball. I can't multiball. I was going to say I can't talk in multiball at the same time. Bill Burr has been in numerous movies. That's FSU, Matthew. FSU. I love Bill Burr. I have watched him many times. I like to see somebody who can articulate like he does and be so angry. I wish I had that capability. Like, when I get angry, I can't come up with amazing, awesome stories like he does. What? I didn't do anything! Alright, next mode. I feel like three modes is apparently all we're going to get out of this here tonight. all I saw was was a clip of George feels amazing but can't hit anything and there is oh no don't tilt don't tilt Arch Mecca thank you very much We do have an extra ball. We have a shoot again. Let's see here. Wait. 36 acting credits. That's more than most of the leads in Star Wars. Eon Black. I stand corrected. I had no idea that he was an actor. I swear, I was just listening to him on Conan or something, and he was talking about him not being an actor. Like, it was in preparation for Mandalorian, where he was quite explicitly saying he's not an actor, he can't pretend to be somebody else, and he thinks other people are idiots if they can actually do that. It was something like, how messed up do you have to be where you can literally pretend to be somebody else better than you can be yourself? It was a really cool, funny thing he said. I got to shower. I don't even dare type at my keyboard. It's super dusty. Be very careful. Wash your hands there. That's what I suggest. Need to see night mode. They supposedly, but they're supposed to be. Yes, that's right. We're going to do the giveaway as soon as we're done with this game. Totally missed the giveaway time. Rolled eyes. No, no, no. I was shooting for 11.45. That was perfectly timed. Perfectly. All right. So we apparently have a mystery and now a lock and a mode. I like putting all the things on one shot. Seems very efficient to me. No, I am not renting. This was a permanent trade today. Drove out to Kansas to go pick it up. Yep, kind of saw that happening. Apparently you need to live catch that. By the way, this has a shaker motor. I just realized that as it was shaking. I feel like, okay, we're going to put our initials in this time. Couchington, if you're still in stream, you were the last person to do something. Throw me your initials and I'll put it in here. Otherwise, I'm going C-G-T. No, C-T-K-T-N. There we go. Tomato Guy, I never death save. That is a really bad habit to get in. And on top of that, by death saving, in my opinion, you invalidate the score. Anyone who posts a death save score to something like Pinside or submits it someplace or even talks about it, I feel like it's kind of cheating. I realize that death saving is a skill, but it's not an allowed skill. If death saving was allowed in a tournament, I would do it. That's me, though. Let's see here. So what's gone from your... Don't... I traded... Wait a second. I got to go back up. Hold on. I'm for George. I'm for George. Let's try it. Becca wants your 10 pin commandments. Hold on. All right. So we're going KTN. Thank you very much for that follow. We have high score number one on here. We're going to break in this keyword giveaway. And hold on one second. Permanent is nothing in George's garage. Yes, there's nothing permanent here. Permanent is nothing in pinball. Wait, what did you trade? Hold on. He's on pinball time. Are you renting this machine? Okay, yes. I didn't miss anything. There is definitely nothing permanent in this garage, but I traded Family Guy for Star Trek and got a really good deal in also picking up Black Knight. So, yeah. So, Family Guy for Star Trek and picked up Black Knight, so we will be Star Trekking here in the near future. But that is not what you guys are interested in. Let's do the giveaway. Hold on. Okay, you guys, type in exclamation point raffle. Oh, right there. Type exclamation point raffle to join. All right. Get in. In the meantime, I almost just fell over. I still have to do 20 push-ups. Here's what we are raffling off tonight. It is one of, if you win the raffle, We're going to do two right now. You get your choice of any one of the following. You can do a South Park Translight also. But I'm going to let you guys know, I am willing to put, if the fee to send it to you, let's say, exceeds $20, then you're going to have to help out with shipping. Granted, it only cost me like $18 a few months ago to send to Australia, so I don't know that anything, it gets more expensive than that, but in the off chance, I'm, I'm prefacing it now, if somebody from someplace that costs, unfortunately, a lot of money to send, uh, anything over 20, and you're gonna have to chip in some of the, some of the shipping costs, otherwise, I will take care of sending this all, what you guys will do is just, uh, whisper me your address, and, uh, and I'll get it chipped out probably in the next week or so. Exclamation point, R-O-F-L. It's raffled. Yes. So anyway, first one is potentially South Park. Or there is Collapse of 1812. Thank you. Oh, D-I-D-Y 716. Thank you very much for that follow. Or there is World Poker Tour. Really awkward, but some people really like it. I get it. Sometimes you just have a soft spot for certain pinball machines. We have Gilligan's Island. That's right. With that right there. We've got Street Fighter 2. Also, just weird art, honestly. But it's Street Fighter 2, and maybe you're into that. I'll tell you the cost of Centennial. Paz! Yeah, that's not too far. And, let's see here. Reset, everyone. Raffle, cost next, use timer. And, or, one of these guys, if you happen to have a Jurassic Park and you want some pin blades, you can go that route. Or, if you have the Simpsons and you want some pin blades, I have pin blades for those as well. So your choice between any one of those seven things. Let's do this. All right, is everybody that wants in typed in exclamation point raffle? Going, going, going once. Going twice. Going three times. And I'm hitting the go button. And who is going to win? Lobster, six to Magnet. You have won. Congratulations. Lobster, which one of those do you want? Clutch, I know, right? Yeah, so which one do you want? Let me know, because then we're going to do another one. You guys are going to have to hang around, and we'll do another raffle. Very nice. So it was South Park, Street Fighter, Gilligan's Island, Class of 1812, World Poker Tour, or either of the two pin blades if you happen to own a Jurassic Park, or Simpsons. Think of South Park. Okay, cool. South Park is off. All right. There we go. South Park is done. Off the menu. Guys, we're going to do one more. And then we're going to do some merch giveaways. In the stream, it'll be a first person to answer questions that are going to be stream specific. Yeah. So, here's this. All right. I'm going to reset. So, Lobsters Fix the Magnets, I need you to private message me your address and just reminder of which one you wanted, okay? I would love to say that the beer is not going to impact my ability to remember specifically what was won this evening, But just go ahead and do me that favor and whisper me that. If for whatever reason you can't get a hold of me, do exclamation point Discord, join the Discord, and we can always direct a message that way. We have a really, really active Discord. And by really, really, I mean, I feel like it's at least 50 or 60 messages a day. It's a lot to keep track of. I'm mobile because I'm covered in G-Rock dust. I'm mobile because I'm lazy. And it's totally, yeah, obviously all the questions are going to be pinball related. So, okay, next one. I'm going to open this up. And here we go. Guys, also, what we're doing tonight, the reason, it's open. Go ahead and type in exclamation point raffle. And what are we doing tonight? Why are we doing this? My name is George. This show is Don't Panic Flip, and we have been streaming for two years as of today, which is awesome. A, and B, on Tuesday last week we hit 800 followers, which was huge. You guys are amazing. And I have some other fun surprises coming out, not quite surprises as literal as this, like giveaway stuff, but some stuff I'll be adding to the stream in the near future. I'm arguing with my wife over picking and being more specific because I think I'm going to add a couple of other fun things to the stream. So Crazy George's discount translates. If you can't find better prices, if you can find better prices, that's fair. Yeah, thank you, Tomato Guy. I appreciate that, man. It's awesome. The pinball community is so amazing. And on top of that, there's so many other people who are getting into streaming pinball. All it does is make streaming pinball that much more fun. There's so many more people who have the context necessary to understand something like, when I talk about this camera, I have a camera up here that, for whatever reason, I can only align it to the play field when it comes from one direction. Apparently I'm not an ambi-aligner when it comes to aligning playfields because I can't figure out the mechanics going the other direction. I can only use my right hand to twist and my left hand to adjust. If I go the other direction, it never works. It takes so much longer. No, it's not a giveaway. It's just adding something to the stream to thank everybody for being a part of it. Yes. Anyway, do you have giving credit to all streamers? Yes. And that's what the Discord is so great specifically for that. There are so many other streamers who, from all walks of life, as I think I've described it, we've got video editors, software people, we've got people who are photographers, people who are just tech geeks who know things, and everybody helps everybody else out to have the best stream possible. Highest quality, what lenses to purchase if you're going to go with a nice camera, what works and what doesn't work. shared software and scripts. AJF Clark out of Australia helped write a Perl script to actually pull a bunch of content from a few websites. Caviel, aka Flipstream, put together a, this graphic right here. Right, like, I'm sorry, I'm not going to let that go all the way, but that's the kind of, that's the kind of community that pinball has. It's, it's, honestly, it's, it's helping everybody else do the absolute best they can. So, yeah. Uh, sorry, hold on. Uh, I know, don't panic. I was just joking about $10,000 with just a prank. Party hard, bud. Yes, I know. Uh, wait a second. Uh, yes, please, do you have credits? Man, I haven't watched the new R&M episode yet. God, Eon Black, it is, I have only watched it once, I need to watch another four times just to catch everything that happened. I watched the follow-up where the people who made the episode were just as confused as I was, including, uh, Harmon, I almost called him Harmon Carden, whatever the, the writer's name is. He was also just as, like, mind-blowingly messed up. Anyway, uh, you guys, everybody's back in. Lobster sticks to magnets. You can't win twice in one go, so if you're in, that's fine. If you happen to win, I'm going to do it over again. Because that's not super fair. Let's let other people have an opportunity to win one of the, I would say amazing translates. Other people might say inexpensive or throwaway or awful pinball translates. But I feel like pinball translates are awesome. Okay, let's do it. Let's do it, you guys. Everybody's in. You have typed in the exclamation point raffle. I'm about to pick the winner. We are counting down. Five, four. Three. Who is it? Who is it? A tap from Philly. You have won. Speak up from in chat. Which one do you want? We've got Street Fighter 2, World Poker Tour, Class of 1812. It is done. That was my personal favorite. I am really happy that you took that. That's awesome. See, I won. So that's awesome. Attack from Philly. If you can do the same, either join the Discord and private message me that way, or just whisper me direct through Twitch. Send me your address and which one you won, and I will get those sent out not super quick. I'm just not going to... I could ride my bike over to mail and copy. I just don't know when I'll actually leave the house. We have so much food. There's no reason for me to leave, and I just drove to Kansas today. So, anyway, Tomato Guy, thank you so much. Have a wonderful night. And for those of you that are going to stick around, we're also going to do two DPF or Silver Ball Swag merch giveaways that are going to be question-specific. And I do apologize about the delay. Beforehand, I'll have everybody do a refresh, and maybe that'll help. but yeah should be should be really really interesting okay yeah I don't know what to do with that so awesome and great can you confirm you got my whisper I suck at twitch lobster sticks to magnet hold on I'm gonna open this up just joined shooter thank you for joining the discord there's a lot of stuff going on hold on All right, I have two whispers. I have one from Attack from Philly and one from Lobster6 to Magnet. You guys, thank you so much for being so responsive in that. Like I said, I'll get it out. I'll get it out soon. No guarantees it's going to be, like, immediately at the beginning of this week. Probably end of next week, and then I'll whisper you back. Sorry, end of this coming week. I will whisper you back once it's out with the tracking number, just so that way you guys can keep track of it, okay? And, okay, cool. Got nothing going on. All right, you guys, flipstream. Thank you very much for the rate. By the way, you guys, I don't know if you've seen the little pop-ups, but you can control the lights behind me. That said, they're not super bright. I need to get a lot more lights in here. There's only, I think, four or five lights. Flipstream trying to break it by just throwing out an exclamation point color. Thank you, though, for throwing the rave. All right, let's get back into playing. And at some point during this game, I'm going to ask the question. I'll give you guys an opportunity to refresh first. So that way there isn't a really significant delay. And I'll see if I can think of a better question than the one that Flipstream already guessed. That was better. All right, there we go. We're going to backhand it. There we go. We're doing the things. Pez Johnson, have a wonderful night. Ultra marine blue. That's really cool. If that's an actual color. Man. You definitely need to be paying attention in this game, because I let that hit the left flipper. And Turbo Brown. Yeah, I'm black. I think that's just white. So if it can't find the color, it defaults to white. Oh, yeah, a little Crows soundtrack. How many of you guys, has everyone here seen The Crow? Because that is an amazing movie. I still watch that every once in a while. I feel like it's the movie that perfectly embodies 90s grunge music. Wow, that was me being lazy again and not flipping on that left side. Yeah, you can go black, Flipstream. No, don't spoil that movie. Alright, it might be... Laser Los, Laser Los. If you haven't seen The Crow, it's got to be over 20 years old at this point. I'm not spoiling it. It's just an amazing old movie. And no, I won't spoil it. I won't say anything. Thank you. I will take that at a ball at just the right time. Darn it. get there oh my god nothing since 90s like Columbia House that was the first time I had ever owed somebody hundreds of dollars was like BMG Music and Columbia House and something else and my first I got 12 CDs for a penny, and it was Alice in Chains, Jars of Joshua Clay, Blind Melon, Green Day Dookie. I'm trying to think of what else was on there. It was an amazing compilation of CDs, and I felt like I had hit gold. By the way, Mudbog Champion, who was the last person? D-I-V-Y, Divvy. We're going to go Divvy. Divvy, what are your initials? I would love to throw them in here. This is not a great, like, the mud bog champion, I think, is just because we played it at this point. But you know what? You're in there. I'm going to go DVY. Unless you jump in and say something else. Why? Okay. There we go. I also had a speed rewinder. and LOL at my wife's face when I showed her what the art for Class of 1812 looks like. She's like, oh my god, where are you going to put that? That's ugly. And you're like, no, no, it's classic. It's like an antique at this point. It's an amazing pinball machine. I was going to say using a rewinder, but that was like the 90s. That's literally all the same CDs we all got. All right. On that note, first question, you guys. Let's go. And this is for your choice of shirts on Silver Ball Swag under the Don't Panic Flip heading. I think, hold on. I'll show you guys what it is so you guys can choose. Was it merch? Yeah, check that out. Boom. So you guys get your choice of any of the T-shirts. I just got that over. we're cool, we're cool, we're cool and Chuckles W73, thank you very much for that follow and welcome, welcome I hope you enjoy pinball or not, maybe you just really like chatting, and we do a ton of that as well, and Rav 3 Links, also So welcome to the stream. My hat's off to you. Thank you so much for that follow. All right, here we go. So is everybody ready? Actually, that's a weird question because then you'd all have to say yes. But assuming everybody has done a refresh and we're all hopefully mostly up to date, flip screen, this is going to be the first question. And the first person to respond with the correct answer is going to get their choice of T-shirts from the link. Okay, yeah, you got it. And one more time, that's exclamation point merch. Any one of the t-shirts there, you guys can tell me the size and the version of the shirt. Cool. Yeah, Ian Black's got it there. And Flipstream is going to change colors. Okay, so here we go. Wait, I'm going to turn down the music. And we lost the light on top of that Look at that Boom Now we have more light on the play field All right, here we go. Who, and I've explained this a few times, if you guys have been on the stream at all, you know that I hated pinball until a little, around about three years ago. who was it that asked who ultimately got me into pinball and I need the person's name because that person has been on stream it is not Jackal thank you no it is not Ty it was not Ty, nope uh in fact i have a blog post uh on don't panic flip.com that goes also over one of the blog posts that goes over um the story of uh of of why why we bought our first pinball table wolfman's on the right track do you know my wife's name just the first name no crap it was not keith Elwin. Jack Danger, I feel like, got me to stream and helped me get better at pinball, and I still have a lot of room for growth, but I need the name. No, Keith Elwin is not my boy. No! Attack from Philly. Oh my god. It is not. It will never be Rudy from Fudhouse. That is the scariest pinball machine of all time. By the way, I will take either her first name because she's been on stream or her Twitch handle because she has been in stream a bunch. One of the two. It is not Elvira. And if nobody knows it, it is not Christine. endorse the Georgia Heads. Although I love those guesses. Mr. Kennedy wins it right there. Mr. Kennedy, go hit up the merch and pick out a shirt that you want out of the group of anything under the Don't Panic Flip heading. I knew I would remember it as soon as I saw it. Also, her name is Jessica, or Jess, and when she is on stream she has the handle Smoochizimo, is who she is. So, yeah, Mr. Kennedy, hit me up with a PM and link also to the shirt that you were interested in and your address, and I'll get that. That was perfectly timed. That was perfectly, and I'll get that sent out to you. and no, I did not drop the stream deck, we are still streaming, on top of that, I took the stream now button off of the stream deck, like, that was, if I drop the stream deck, by the way, this is the stream deck, it's amazing, the stream deck is great, because that's how I can do things, look, excuse me, I can switch to chat, whoa, I'm here, and then I can come back to main, we can go to break, I can go to the end, oh, you know, the other thing I can do, by the way, is we are part of, you can see it way up there, up at the top. We're part of the Pinball Network, which is a collective of content creators for all three YouTube podcasts and also Twitch right now. I'm going to switch over. This is the group of people, and this is the current schedule. Right now we've got straight down the middle, flipping out, Ray Day Pinball, myself, Emily and Dr. John, and What The Flip. The schedule is just over to the right. This is the upcoming schedule for the next week. Looks like it's me right now. I'm also on Monday and Tuesday. My normal streaming times are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. It looks like we've got What The Flip on Wednesday afternoon. Amazing set of streamers. If you haven't checked them out, they do some cool stuff with music in the afternoon. And once again, this is all in Mountain Time right now. So you have to make adjustments for your own personal time if you're not in Mountain Time. And then we've got me on Thursday, and then we've got Chuck Wirt from Straight Down the Middle on Sunday, and then Raymond Davidson from Ray Day Pinball on Sunday night. That's it. So if you haven't checked out anybody here on the TPN network, give them a follow. Check it out. And we're going back to game play. I am going to take another sip of this beer. And then we've got one more question coming up here in the near future. And I promise you that is going to be way easier. Prost! Tunes! Oh, that's right. Thank you. Ian Black, I'm throwing the tunes back. Alright. Uh, everything's under control. Situation normal. Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. Uh-oh, we're fine. No, thank you. Man, these stream commands are great. They are. If you go, uh, by the way, Ian Black, if you go exclamation point commands, you get a dynamic list of everything. I have quite a few commands. There's our lock shot. We're about ready to start a mode. That sucks. Don't miss your shots in this game, ever. Eon Black just redeemed 10 push-ups. We still owed 20 from earlier, so I'm up to 30. After this game, we'll do the 30 push-ups and maybe throw out the final question. I don't have a better question yet than the one that Flipstream, a.k.a. Caviel, already asked. Wow. There it is. Hey, that worked. Oh, crap. I thought we were going into the multiball. Flip stream. I'm just saying I don't have anything else yet. There we go, multiball. All right. I mean, we're hitting shots here. Ah! Alright. How many more of these shots do I need to hit? Wow. I mean, the Magnus save was there, it just wasn't going to save me. Uh, let's see here. Who are the three guys that have never been in my kitchen? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ah! All right. So apparently we have a super feature. I'm not sure what the significance of a super feature is. There we go. Got that. Whoa! Whoa! All right, it's a thing. Crying and laughing. All right, game. There was no reason for that. That just seems mean. Alright, and Rav3Links, you're up here, high score number two. We did just reset this game, so I don't imagine this is going to stay up long, but if you want to throw me your initials, otherwise I'm going to throw Rav up there. And so R-A-V, if that works for you. Game over, man. You can upgrade any of active... Oh, wait. So, hold on. Super features are basically more points for doing things you'll do anyway. Rav works. Okay, good. You'll do anyways. And if you upgrade them, you get even more points. You can upgrade... Okay. It's the left column on the display. Oh, okay. That helps, actually. The shot upgrades on Batman 66. All right. So I've got to do 20 push-ups. Give me a sec here. All right. All right. I'm going to blow my pants. Oh, no. Oh, Jesus. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. All right, there we go. 20 more push-ups. Oh. Oop, oop, oop, oop. Good enough. Yeah, we'll do the direct LCD stuff here in the near future. Chuckled. I thought it was 30. Livestream said it was? Do I seriously owe 10 more push-ups? I don't want to do them. All right, I've got to think up a better question here, because Flipstream ruined it early on. Oh! Here we go. Here we go. I got it. We're going to turn this down again. All right. So this is for the final question and the final giveaway. It is 12.24, guys. We are almost done. We normally stream until 12.30. So we'll end on this note here. No, actually, I want to play one more game. I really do. I really like Black Knight. So one more game after this, but it's not a jackal. I don't know if you've been listening to that comedian recently, the one about where he has nightmares about the jackal over his bed. I can't think of his name right now, but I really like that guy. You want to watch one more? Okay, awesome. So the question, the question is, I have a go-to beer. It's green, if you remember. What is the name of that beer? And first person to put the name of that beer into the chat, it's my go-to. It's four and a half percent. I say it's sessionable. I've probably drank a hundred of them on stream over the past two years. so what is the name of that beer flip stream, it's close rolling rock is green but it is definitely not rolling rock so if somebody can name what that beer is Mr. Kennedy, you think you got it if you know it, you can jump in man oh, why am I unfocused right here It is, oh my god, we did have a pineapple upside down cake once, but that was, that's not it. It is not the Weldworks. Mr. Kennedy gets two shirts. Mr. Kennedy, you have an amazing memory. Ark Mecca the question is what is my Ark Mecca the question sorry was what is my go to beer I have a beer that comes in a green can called Chillax from Bootstrap Brewing it is my all time favorite beer it is a pineapple amber ale and it's the one beer that consistently does not give me a headache Like, Flipstream, the other question was going to be what mode is my most favorite on Family Guy, which is Ipecac mode. But Flipstream both said that was going to be the question and gave away, somebody gave away the answer at the very beginning of the stream before I even got the opportunity to ask that question. So, yeah, thank you. You're welcome. So, Mr. Kennedy, whisper me the second thing you want. and uh or if you wanted you could do uh one of the sweatshirts so since you got two you can either do two different t-shirts or you can do one of the uh one sweatshirt your call let me know what you want celebrating mediocrity moderately awesome yes flip stream that is how i describe everything in my life cool all right guys one last game one last game we got this Oh, music. Oh my god. Cool, let's do this. Let's do this. Here we go. Going for the lock. Boom. We got a lock. Three more. That was the laziest magnet save I have ever seen. Please wear facial covering, George Shumps. Yes. Which we will be doing on... So what's happening this week, by the way? this week is Monday it's going to be if I can get it set up it's going to be Star Trek because I'm excited about that Tuesday we've got a friend from League and Christine coming over social distancing, masks and Clorox bleach or Clorox wipes on everything maintaining six feet apart here in the garage with constant air movement with a fan I don't know if that helps or not but that's what we're doing so that's on Tuesday and then Thursday we've got Nick, Ty Nick aka the Pinsomniac Ty aka Titanix with the acid bucket and Christine coming over I'm leaving it up to those guys whatever they want to stream honestly I feel like anything's on the table short of Total Nuclear Annihilation which we could play but one of them's going to have to help me bring it upstairs because it's still in the basement How about a game of the table's music? Oh, Flipstream. I like that idea. Also, I like because I already drained a ball at less than a million, so I would love to reset. Here we go. We're going to do this at some point. There it is. It didn't reset my game? Can I hold the left flipper and reset? I can. Okay. There we go. I hope you plan to wear a red shirt tomorrow, Fliptronic says. If I had a red shirt, I would. Do I own a red shirt? I do own a red shirt. I will do that. All right, guys, here we go. With the music, I'm going to turn the music up, actually. All one. Very loud. Thank you. I heard it. That was amazing. That's why we have that command, Caviel. You're amazing. Thank you. All teams, left. Very frustrating. Very, very frustrating. Woo! We're going to have to get a lot better. I don't want to start multiball it was flashing It didn't add 20% of the reason I keep that account in this channel and holy crap the music on this is awesome. It is crazy There we go ball three, that's where I like to be I hope you like it cold. Yeah, I feel like the alternative music is really, really alternative. Nice. Let's do it. You flip! I will hear your teeth and remove your head. You must flee! You both need to rest! You grow weary, but I grow stronger. Wow. Yeah, this is intense. That was really, really bad. 90s hip-hop themed game where you have to pick West Coast or East Coast and each has a unique vote based on standout tracks. That's kind of interesting. Like, Notorious B.I.G. versus... What was it? Oh, I can't think of the rapper who was shot. Who did California... Californication or California Love. One of the two. Tupac, thank you. Thank you for the subject. Just one more. He's Joseph too! Play with the actual fighting start! Man, the live catching has to get so much better! All one, wrap! Oh my god. Thank you. Woo! Player one has got potential. Rapper? Ugh. Alright. So now, hopefully, we can finish this up here. I don't really care so much about... about the jackpots here for the multiball. I want to finish the mode. No way! Stand up and fight! Link! Freeway! See! Careful, boy, careful! Oh my god, that was great! Alright, so we got an extra ball. You can get a letter from multiball, too. Okay. Oh. Wow. I've really got to master that post-catch laser those. Shoot again! You are done! You should have killed him! Back off! Raaaaaach! Alright. Alright. Ah, man, now I want the flipstream. It's a fun table, man. It's definitely the kind of table you don't ever want to make a mistake on, though. Okay. I don't want to fight you, Phil. I'll use you. Hey. Hey. Knock it off. Ah. What ball is that? Can you name a few tables you do want to make some mistakes? I feel like there are tables that don't destroy you for making a mistake. Come on. You're doing well. Keep it up. Challenge me and I will stronghold your mercy. It doesn't... I feel like this table does not post-transfer well. Four, three, two, one. Super. Something tells me I do not want to hit that super right now. How do I get the last letter? Uh, if you buy a Gottlieb game, it's a mistake right from the start, so I guess that kinda rewards you for making a mistake. Do it! No. Oh my god. Just imagine that with the topper looking down at you the whole time. Cot leaves are treasures. I want my spring break back. I have played electronic a spring break, and I feel... Who was the last person? That was Rab3. We also have Chuckles, I guess, would be the person before that. I'm going with Chuckles. Chuckles, if you're still on and you want your initials to be in here on the last game, let me know. Bone Busters? Really bust my bone? Wasn't that supposed to be Ghostbusters? D.E.W. Awesome. alright you guys my name is George this show is Don't Panic Flip tonight we celebrated 2 years and 800 followers I feel like we're well on our way to 900 at which point we'll do another Translight giveaway such a fun time thank you so much for hanging out we'll be back on tomorrow, Tuesday, and Thursday and if you get an opportunity check out other streamers from the TPN network There's also a bunch of other streamers just on here this evening. In fact, people who've recently spoke are Flipstream, Electronic, Eon Black. You've also got Laserlos up above. And then Pinsomniac, MPT3K. And there was probably a bunch of others as well. And I can't think of everybody else off the top of my head. But all of those amazing content creators, go out and give them a follow. And enjoy pinball, you guys. and have a wonderful, wonderful Sunday night, or I guess early Monday morning. Have a good one. Thank you. Yep, definitely a Fae raid. I am setting it up right now.
