TL;DR

MPT3K battles Firepower AI across five difficulty levels on a custom VPX table.

Summary

Mystery Pinball Theater 3000 hosts a rematch against Firepower AI, a custom VPX recreation of the classic 1980 Williams game with built-in artificial intelligence opponent. The host plays through multiple difficulty levels (Easy, Medium, Hard, Expert) in a best-of-three format against the AI, showcasing the detailed code work by Third Axis and collaborators. The stream demonstrates the AI's aggressive playfield strategy while highlighting occasional quirks like excessive post-passing behavior that may be a bug.

Key Claims

  • Firepower is the first solid-state game with multiball ever made (by Harry Williams, 1980)

    high confidence · Host states this as historical fact during gameplay commentary

  • The Firepower AI table has tilt disabled because the original game code wasn't designed with a mechanical tilt bob installed

    high confidence · Host explicitly explains: 'The game was not coded with a mechanical tilt bob installed. And Third Access and those guys know this. They tried to get it to work, but they were too deep into the code for it to work.'

  • Third Axis and collaborators spent considerable time writing the AI code specifically for this Firepower table

    high confidence · Host: 'The AI is married to this table. It's scripted with the table... This table was written for quite a while. The code was written to work specifically with this rule set and this table.'

  • Firepower AI is currently the only virtual table with AI that Third Axis has created

    high confidence · Host: 'Firepower was the first and is currently the only table that is AI'

  • The AI exhibits post-passing behavior excessively, which the host suspects may be a bug in the code

    medium confidence · Host repeatedly comments: 'This has to be a bug. This has to be a bug. I'm going to make sure that Third Axis sees this.'

  • The Firepower AI uses an aggressive strategy focused on hitting stand-up targets to build score quickly

    medium confidence · Host observes: 'the strategy that Third Access has built into here, looks like it's just stand-ups. Go for stand-ups, as many stand-ups as you can, and boost that score as fast as possible'

  • The host encountered Scared Stiff machine with a wiring issue where the spider spins in the wrong direction

    medium confidence · Host mentions visiting Free Go Watch and finding: 'there's an almost mint condition Scared Stiff... The only issue is that it has a couple of crossed wires, so the spider spins the opposite direction.'

  • The Firepower AI table can be downloaded and played on Windows computers running Visual Pinball with pin:maim software

Notable Quotes

  • “If this thing could nudge too, it would never lose a ball.”

    Mystery Pinball Theater 3000 (host)@ 3:45 — Explains the strategic reason why tilt was disabled on the AI opponent—the AI's perfect nudge execution would make it unbeatable

  • “The AI is married to this table. It's scripted with the table... The code was written to work specifically with this rule set and this table.”

    Mystery Pinball Theater 3000 (host)@ 38:32 — Clarifies the custom, table-specific nature of the AI implementation and indicates it cannot be easily ported to other games

  • “This table was written for quite a while... it's no trivial task.”

    Mystery Pinball Theater 3000 (host)@ 38:30 — Acknowledges the significant development effort required to create the AI system

  • “I'm not too far behind this puck... Last time I played I think I was way way way behind like I think I won one out of like eight games or something like that now I'm not too far behind.”

    Mystery Pinball Theater 3000 (host)@ 51:34 — Reflects on improving performance against the AI across multiple difficulty levels

  • “Stop it with the freaking post passes. You know what I'm going to do after this game is over? I'm going to restart the VPA.”

    Mystery Pinball Theater 3000 (host)@ 29:19 — Expresses frustration with repetitive post-passing behavior and suggests it may be a code bug

All right, I might as well just make this happen and it's inevitable. We got pinball time. Hello everyone, MPT3K here. Today is a rematch of sorts, but I know I'm going to get my butt kicked. So, it's another duel, but it's a duel with this guy right here. So, a while ago I streamed Firepower AI vs. and it was created by Third Access and a bunch of other cool guys on well it's available on Visual Pinball, vpinball.com and he's recently did an update I have a firepower at home, nice, what's up Eternal, you have a real firepower so this is a firepower that is not only a VPX but it will play and kick your butt and I tried this before And it was embarrassing How well this guy did I'm going to try again Because no exclusives this week No big releases Well there's some big releases But I decided to blow up the logo So no big releases And you know if you type Just exclamation point logo It'll come back I'm just saying So, Third Axis and his boys put this sucker together. Hello, Dope Panic Clip, how are you?
2:04
Glogo? Glogo? Lugo? Goo? Look, you don't have to bring it back. You could mess with me all day. Not working. this is not going to be fun what's up Midhart I might as well get it started let me give you a little rundown of this table before I get started it is an actual firepower recreation right but it's got kind of artificial intelligence built in so that it plays a real game. And there are different difficulty levels, and I'm going to try and beat it on... some of them?
2:57
Question mark? Some of them. I will try and beat it on... CRISPR, nice. So, oh boy, I don't even want to start. They wrote such good code. Now, the one thing I have to say, If you notice, there's no tilt cam. I do have a tilt in here, but there's no tilt cam because I have to disable the tilt for this game. Because the game was not coded with a mechanical tilt bob installed. And Third Access and those guys know this. They tried to get it to work, but they were too deep into the code for it to work. So, I can nudge, but it can't.

high confidence · Host provides distribution information: 'if you want to download this and try it yourself you don't need a vcab... all you need is a computer that runs windows and a little bit of knowledge on how to install visual pinball and pin maim'

is a good thing. It's a really good thing. Trust me, if this thing could nudge too, it would never lose a ball. So, we're doing it this way. Boom! We're doing a duel between FPT3K and... Where is he? That monster right there.
4:03
It's not going to be nice. We're going to start off... And as you can see, I... I put third axis down. There's Third Axe's logo. He's the author of the table, plus his band of merry, merry people. What are you doing, Dave? Oh, wait until you hear it. You've probably heard it before, but it's amazing. So all these guys put this table together. So let us get into game one. Now, you're choosing. You can change your selections. You can't see it. It's right on this edge. Sorry, guys, if you can't see the selection screen, but I can with the flippers. I can choose. player select. The different player configurations. So I'm going to set it up so that I go first. And I think we're going to do best of three on every level.
4:49
Well, let's say we do two games per level. Let's say we do three games per level. Three games per level. And however far I can get in an hour.
4:59
And I'm going to set the difficulty. So difficulty can be easy. It can be medium. It can be hard. It can be expert.
5:10
Or it can be legendary. Legend. Wait for it. Dairy. We're going to start with easy. Penn Stadium, what's up? Thank you for the biddies.
5:24
You're here to watch me get destroyed by this game. The wait is over. A revolution in LED lighting for your pinball is finally here. Order yours now at pennstadium.com Not a sponsor, but he's amazing. And his company is amazing.
5:42
Okay, here we go. If you see the flippers turn red, that's him. Or it, I should say. Green flippers are me. I'm starting off.
5:59
Firepower, as you know, is the first multiball game made by Williams. Um, and it's... I already started up in a dangerous spot. Um, it's tricky to get to the son of a gun.
6:21
So it's tricky to get... This is the easy mode, okay? First solid state game with multiball. Thank you. Asterisk. First solid state game with multiball. That's why they called it multi-ball firepower by Williams.
6:39
In the easy mode, in the easy mode, I noticed the AI does a lot of flipping, not too much kind of drop-catching, cradle separations, and they definitely don't change lanes at the top. They don't change lanes at the top.
6:57
So... But they're also already killing me The object of the game is to hit the Six deadly drop targets right in front of you They're not drop targets sorry The six deadly stand ups To light one of the locks For multi ball And you light a lock You shoot it light a lock you shoot it There's another lock all the way up at the top Seven deadly And to light the seven deadly X's I think he's running smooth.
7:56
Balls a Poppin' by Ballet1956. Thank you, Midhart. It'll lock two saucers. Saucer. Number four I need. I need number four.
8:11
Good job. And backhand the lock. What? Backhand the lock. Can I ask you a personal question? No, you can't ask me any questions, Hal. Not right now. Not while I'm busy. Leave me alone. I'm gonna try to see if I can backhand this. Nope. Let's see if I can... I don't want to put my best scores up against the easy bot, though. Nope.
8:36
Nope. Thousand-wittle-lit spinner is good. That's always good, but that shot wasn't active, so it didn't really get me anywhere.
8:46
Oh, boy. How do I hit that shot, ladies and gentlemen? Go for the thousand-point spinner again. Okay. Trap.
8:58
Missed it by that much. Oh, shoot. Oh! Now, I do know, if anybody in the chat knows this game better than me, these three drop targets, what do they do?
9:14
What do I need those for? They don't light my kickback. Any game with a multi-ball launch will let you put more than one ball in play at a time, if you liked, but I wouldn't call that a multiball. Yeah, that's true. Those old games where you just plunge balls in.
9:36
Okay, ball two. This doesn't look good. Power! I got the power! all right uh i think well i'll go first so i need to put some more distance between the two of us uh four top lanes for fire oh thank you power i thought you were joking but it's power um did the original table have a bot no this is a remix this is ai this is also vpx so in case you don't know. Tuesdays I do VPX. Tuesdays I always do VPX.
10:29
Power. So top four lanes, fire, and then the three blues for power. Astronasty, what's up? Welcome to the stream.
10:39
I think the AI was modded in. Yes, the AI was definitely modded in. It's a virtual table. What's up, Riku?
10:48
Forgive me for being so inquisitive. Got the fire. Murder me! Holy smokes! So there goes my lead. I might have screwed up. I might have extremely
11:05
screwed up. I enjoy working with people. Did I win? I won! Boy, I won by a very little bit. Power boost the bottom in lanes There you go Thank you 3,000 okay Well good luck getting that Well hey Look who just won Thank you That's one It's gonna be uphill battle Um So I said I'm gonna play three of each.
11:53
So we're going to stick with easy for a little bit. We're sticking with easy. We're going to go with game number two. This time he's going to go first. Or it.
12:06
It's going to go first. Let's see how well it does. By the way, I've got to say, this is amazing work by Third Axis and the rest of his crew. Did you like the picture I sent? Yes, it's pretty cool Oh, Riku, oh my god, dang it Astro Nasty Welcome to the Pinball Theater Don't panic, Flip Welcome to the Pinball Theater We have decided to call it, this was last Friday We decided, Riku and I decided to call this Where you are, the Pinball Theater So welcome I don't do that though, that's not me, that's yours This is yours I do this Welcome.
12:50
Welcome to the pinball theater. Your backlash is way less than mine. Yeah, anything in pixels is going to look different.
13:03
TheFishBall, thanks for GTOG complete. Yes, we're still working on GTOG, but yeah, the release that came out was actually quite good. So there you go. I wondered whether you might be having some second thoughts. No, I'm not having any second thoughts, bro. Oh, there's no ball save on this either. I gotta be really super careful.
13:26
By the way, I'm gonna swear on this stream. I know I'm gonna swear on this stream. So, just to warn you.
13:43
Found me on YouTube. Welcome to the stream, beards. Beard's life Now I got a bigger screen And I still can't read it Yeah beard is life Thank you for Welcome to the pinball theater Um I'm gonna boost this so I can see all of chat JB How long did it take you The fishbowl Is the fishbowl in here I'm not DeFishbowl Is DeFishbowl here? I'm MPT3K What are we looking at? 40,000 on the nose I'm at 9,000 Shut up I hate how it talks They coded in all the talking to you Which drives me nuts I mean I guess that's what it's supposed to do It's supposed to unnerve you Yes points Crap points all over me right now Points Four What a save Ladies and gentlemen What a save I don't want to cross I think I don't think I want to cross shoot that three See that's what happens Oh Two Hang on guys I'm sorry Oh the fishbowl is here Cool The fishbowl I didn't see Oh Motherfucking Everything is going extremely well Did I tilt?
15:24
Is this ball three? Did I miss a lot? Did I tilt? I heard a tilt Ball three 28 I need to beat 43 Shia LaBoop I tilted Alright We're good I get so pissed at this thing Um Four months Completing fire Bumps the bonus multiplier Uh So complete the top lane Lane lots Okay Yeah okay Tilt and the AI had a house ball Yes Okay I'm not I got so mad I walked away Hey Son of gun.
16:30
Alright. You suck spuds I call myself spuds Anytime I Okay that a kickback I take it I take it Where am I at Oh I got him I got him I got him I got him. Yes! Boom. You've been destroyed. I'm gonna let it drain, so I'm not gonna go any further. Competition rules, right? Competition rules. Now, I'm going to take every little victory I can get, because...
17:12
Okay, I'm going to ask you guys. I got one more game with easy. Should I play all three? How many games of each level should I play?
17:25
How many games of each level should I play? I got one more for easy. We gotta move to kind of regular next Two Okay Best of five No we're gonna be here all day Actually maybe not But I only have one scored tally So that's what I'm doing Best of three Okay well Best of three puts us at the next level then I only got I don't have best ofs in there So I'm gonna go Game game point point And if I just have one tally Level up Okay level up I like George's idea Level up Okay I've leveled up Boom Eat the mushroom Oh that's what I need to add Mario Okay We're gonna move on to We're gonna move on We're gonna move on I'm gonna keep saying We're gonna move on And I'm actually gonna do it Difficulty is moving to medium. Medium. Thank you for cleaning the glass. I go first. So apparently it goes from easy to medium.
18:49
Easy to medium. Slaughter rule. Oh my god, Astro, you're... Man. The snozzberries taste like snozzberries.
19:09
Well, that's my first win, so we're gonna do... Here we go. So, uh... Grammy. Grammy, did you say you had this game? And if... Oh, oh now he's pulling out the laser now.
19:53
Did you see him guys? He pulled out the laser. Those drop targets. Those drop targets are very dangerous.
20:13
He's got a ball lot. Yo, the move... come on, the move from easy to... I'm supposed to be in this view anyway.
20:33
From easy to this is not even fair. I'm trying to figure out what else to do with the picture. I was going to add a Twitch logo to the pinball.
20:46
Well, I mean... You don't have to add a Twitch logo just because I'm moving the mixer. Alright. 75. Stop.
21:07
Holy son of a mother and mother of a . Blah, blah, blah, blah. I enjoy working with people. Shut up. With that mix of money. money okay well three
21:45
just kind of walk over the whole friggin thing that I knew was gonna drain I knew that was gonna drain.
21:56
Why did I... Why? That's game. Game. You can stop now. You can tilt him out.
22:12
Alright. Whoa, cradle the ball. Yo. 165. Uh, no. I'm sorry, 103. Yo, so this cat can get nasty.
22:32
This cat can get nasty. Like, I don't know if I'm going to get to Legendary, but I promise I'll show you a Legendary game. The problem with Legendary is though, that, like I said, it can't tilt. It can't nudge. Not tilt. It can't nudge. So when its nudge game is on, And it's in legendary mode? It's like unstoppable. It's like totally unstoppable.
23:01
Did you pick up the drink ingredients? No, not yet. Because I mentioned these... I mentioned the drink... Number one, I didn't get any ingredients yet. Number two, I mentioned the drink ingredients to Game Time Television. Game Time Tiki Television. And they... They were like, That sounds like the most horrible drink I've ever heard of.
23:22
So, there you go. And you can mention in chat, Riku, mention in chat what the ingredients were for the Screaming Lady. The Screaming Lady. All right.
23:34
Okay. One more. Here we go. Oh, this time it goes first. Player select. Fire power. This time it goes first. All right, go second.
23:52
We're here Look at you, locking balls before you even get balls to lock Stop it Not fair Look at that, look at that Did you see that cradle? Boom, laser I don't get a laser Sour cherry Oh, you know what? I gave them the wrong ingredients Post passes Trying to get that Why are you continuously post-passing? Are you showing off?
24:26
Is it broken? Play! Play! What are you doing? Whoa, what? Was that like a challenge? Do you want me to do 17 post passes now?
25:02
What was that? What even was that? I gotta ask Third Access, what the hell was that? Endless loot. Oh, did you see that miss? That was hilarious, guys Oh my god, that was hilarious That must have been like eight Alright Back to the story now This is where I get destroyed Okay, I got my two point lead Got it Everything is going extremely well So happy for you Is that safe?
25:56
I never knew... Oh, that was like a hesitation flip there. Two and four. Two is done. I wonder how well it's going to do with a multiball. Here we go again with the post-passing Wow I wonder if this is a bug You just post-passed yourself to death, dude Dude The drink should taste like a cherry Is that cherry cola? He's waiting for lasers Thank you for the clip, Midhart.
26:44
Got to win before you can show off to hell. Yeah, that's true. Don't start dancing before hitting the end zone.
26:52
Hundred. Ball two. Let's get those bonuses. Let's get those... All right, I'll take my kickback. Quick, what we like to kick back in Firepower? Damn that three! I enjoy working with people.
27:40
Yeah, I have no idea what we like to kick back. I think... Here we go again with the post passes. This has to be a bug.
27:54
This has to be a bug. I'm going to make sure that Third Axis sees this. Yes. Yes, show me your... Oh, the flipper's left up.
28:07
Wow. Fatality. Alright. This is only ball two. Holy crow. One bank lights kickback. Both banks light spinner.
28:20
Two or four pops and two or three multiple locks. Both banks twice lights. Third lock and four, four. Oh, so banks. It's like one bank lights kickback. Okay.
28:34
Got it. What year is this game from? That's a good question. 1980... I don't remember. 82? 84? What is this? Somebody check that. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 3 lights, kick back. Alright.
28:58
Oh, suck it! So much! Well, that was in his view anyway, so... 1980! Wow. 1980. That's like one year past 1979.
29:19
Stop it with the freaking post passes. You know what I'm going to do after this game is over? I'm going to restart.
29:26
The VPA. You keep doing this, bro. I swear. Maybe I put it in some kind of weird mode Where it's like super show off mode Or the number 4 is confusing it Or something like that I'm gonna tilt you And let the flippers held up to me I'm sorry I had to do it Bro was messed up I can Yeah so I just totally did it. I didn't care. Alright, give me another shot. Here we go.
30:08
Got my fire. And my game's over. Crappy, crappy, crappy, crap. Well. while I take this short intermission I want to mention a group of fine people we have also on the stream called the Pinball Network and here's the Pinball Network schedule and I know my buddy Don't Panic Flip who's in the chat right now has to go and prepare for his stream tonight. There's also Faye who streams we have What The Flip straight down the middle. We have Just Another Pinball and Faye also. Check out all of the wonderful pinball streamers on The Pinball Network.
31:16
Here, Left Kickback. Thank you very much, Riku. Alright. So that's two. And that would be a best of three.
31:32
What? Al Anonymous isn't on there. Al Anonymous has not mentioned anything that he desired to be part of the Pinball Network. So there's that. We're going to boost this up. We're going to boost this now. Let's go to the next level. So this is where you see my score dwindling. It's score getting really, really good.
31:56
Difficulty. Hard. I don't feel like it's fair for me to boost the difficulty. I go first. Fire. Power. Difficulty. Power.
32:15
Yes. You have something for me? Okay, can you open the door? Yes, you can. It's my son not going to go to the gym. Okay, I will get the iPad.
32:33
Thank you. Thank you very much. Yeah, I got to go finish the one. Okay? All right. You know, it's time to give up the iPad. I mean, he's honest. He gives up the iPad.
32:55
Oh, let's see. I have another drink recipe That is a plate on the Copperhead Ginger ale and vodka Alright keep them coming baby By the way I bumped into Christian At uh From Outer Orbit today I haven seen him in a long time I went over to Free Go Watch and he and uh He and uh Biff were playing
33:18
Some games. Just the two of them were in there. So I gave them their space. They went by to play some Elvira. House of Horrors. And I found out...
33:32
That not only do they have... House of frickin' horrors! Not only do they have... House of horrors, but there's an almost mint condition...
33:53
Scared Stiff there that I'm thinking of streaming on this Thursday. Scared Stiff's one of my favorite games. This thing has been restored to glory. The only issue is that it has a couple of crossed wires, so the spider spins the opposite direction. The spider spins the wrong way.
34:16
And so there's no way, since the spider spins the wrong way, there's no way to tell what web award you're going to get. So it's almost like a mystery now. I still think I want to stream it though, because I think a Mystery Web Award would be hilarious. You're never going to get Spider-Multi-Ball. Oh look, he's an order of magnitude higher in score than I am. I'm just going to flip. Just flip. And maybe I'll survive. Fire! Wooo!
34:59
The hell? I mean the hell? The hills are alive! With the sound of music! I enjoy working with people. Fire!
35:21
What was that sound? Yes! What ball is this? Ball three? Oh boy. Here we go. Now it's going to... If I lock a ball, it's going to kick out a ball now. Because Because...
35:56
It's gonna kick out a ball because it has a ball locked in one of the spots. Yeah, there's only three balls in this game as I recall.
36:12
Uhhhh, look at that guy! Should I let him play it out? Should I let him play it out or should I interrupt him? I'm going to let him play it out. Let's watch this multiple. Let's see how well he does in a multiple.
36:50
So during multiball, Gremi, you want to shoot drop targets, I mean you want to shoot stand-ups, right? During a multiball. Because that's what I see AI doing. Wow, look at that. Yeah, So it's building up the middle score. Notice we're at 10.
37:25
There's a kickback. But it might get the kickback. Yep, got the kickback right back because it completed the lanes. Wait, wait.
37:35
Wait. Did anyone else see that? The ball shot out of the shooter? Did anyone know of any other virtual tables with AI?
38:00
There are... Well, so Third Access did this one. This is very... So the AI is very married to this. Let me give this its point. the AI is married to this table. It's scripted with the table.
38:23
And I asked what other tables are you going to work on? This is no trivial task. So this table was written for quite a while. The code was written to work specifically with this rule set and this table. So we'll see if they come out with another one. But this one is pretty hardcore.
38:46
Whatever you don't have, I'd probably have been going for the power targets myself. Or orbits, or rollovers. Oh, I see. Yeah.
38:59
Alright. One more, and then we're switching. So this stupid thing goes first. Alright, you go first, buddy.
39:18
Or you can try to up the bonus multiplier. Yeah, you can try and just keep all the balls going up to the top. And increase your bonus multiplier. But it looks like the strategy that Third Access has built into here, looks like it's just stand-ups. Go for stand-ups, as many stand-ups as you can, and boost that score as fast as possible.
39:42
It also looks like... So you can learn a little from the way this plays, right? It plays a little loose and aggressive, but it gets a lot of drop target sound. Like, it gets a lot of stuff done. So it's got only four to hit after this. What's the custom sound award? I like George's Instagram. That is it. So if you redeem a custom sound, you can give me an idea of what sound you want, or you can just ask me, and I will make a custom sound so that when you join my chat forever and ever, you will get a cool sound when you first chat. It's not when you show up, so you can lurk if you want, but you will get a cool sound whenever you first chat. That's 4,000 channel redemption points. Luck.
40:26
And if you only wait another 21,000, you can get a t-shirt. It looks like I'm having better luck just firing away.
40:53
Look at that. So just firing away got me that far. How amazing is that? So I'm following what... I'm going to call it Hal for lack of a better thing. Firepower was the first and is currently the only table that is AI. Yeah.
41:16
The Bloody Copperhead. Cranberry, mango, ginger ale, vodka, and lime. Man, I wish I was at outer orbit still. We could try all this stuff.
41:25
At least once. I'm feeling it. Everything's running smooth. Everything's running smoothly, yes pal, thank you.
41:44
I'm gonna go for some of those THOUSANDS! Gimme some of those THOUSANDS, baby! Gimme some of those THOUSANDS, those juicy, juicy THOUSANDS!
41:58
Mmmmm, with the THOUSANDS! Alright, let's finish and see if we can get a multi ball. Oh, I got firepower! Oh, I don't have it lit! Oh, that was...come on! Somebody give it up! Y'all not gonna give it up? I'll give it up.
42:41
Go hell, go. Oh, now he's gonna kick my ass, huh? Top Saucer is always easier on Sims in real life. Yes, that is true.
42:55
I got a narwhal from George. I got a narwhal shirt from George. I need to find a proper JP sound clip here and there should be an obvious T-Rex roar to get. Oh, that'd be cool. Okay, you got it. You got it. I like that.
43:13
Looks like I'm winning. Hmm. Okay, don't get... Good shot, kid. Don't get penis-y. Do you mind if I ask you a personal question? Wait.
43:39
Okay, here we go. Okay, rip those spinners then. So you gotta play this like Black Knight. If you're on one flipper, do one thing. If you're on another flipper, do another thing. Get points.
43:54
Oh, I almost got 50,000 lit. Oh, we're gonna make it for all the lost time here, baby. Whoa. Get up there.
44:09
Thousands. I'm always gonna rip... Oh, that was... Alrighty then. Alright, Hal, it's up to you. Come on, beat me. Beat me.
44:21
Takes one ball. Can't get too cocky in this game. The AI can still kick, but yeah. Why do you have to say that? Can't I dream for a minute?
44:37
Oh, man. Now you got me worried. Shoot. I feel like I'm playing a free-go-watch again. Yeah, so they... It's pretty much at multi-ball. It's only 170,000 behind me. Oh, this is not good. This is not good. Oh, a dead... Did you see the dead flip? Oh, crap. Firepower flip. Oh!
45:04
Yes! I'm taking that! I'm gonna play this out. Nah, I'm not gonna play it out. I'm taking that.
45:16
I'm taking that. Boom. Three up! Three up! Three up! Oh, you want me to play it out? I'll do it again. I'll do it again.
45:29
I like where it doesn't play perfectly. Oh, why am I... Why isn't it both? Don't... Get out of there. Get out of my window.
45:38
Oh, man. So we are... We are three and three. Two, four, six. I have to... I have to crank it up one. Oh, we are at level three of five.
45:59
Oh, man, this is not good. The high score is 1.6 million, and I'm pretty sure that was this guy. That was this table. All right. We got to crank it up.
46:15
No more endless post passes this time. All right, here we go. Difficulty. difficulty is moving to expert by the way if you want to download this and try it yourself you don't need a vcab you don't need all you need is a computer that runs windows and a little bit of knowledge on how to install uh... visual pinball and pin maim and stuff like that if you go to vpinball.com they have all the instructions for doing it I will put the link to the table in the description below. Have at it. See if you could beat this monster here.
46:59
I'm first. What was that? I wish they were more instantaneous. I really do. I wish they were more instantaneous. I wish you guys had an instantaneous. What's up, Faye? Faye is always doing that. What's up, good looking? What's cooking, good looking? Alright.
47:24
Faye, we are neck and neck, three to three. Me versus Firepower AI. We have hit expert difficulty level, and well, here we go. I go first.
47:42
Let's see, did I miss anything? No. Okay, here we go. I wondered whether you might be having some second thoughts. You need to shut it.
47:52
How? Give me that bonus. Give me that... No, no. Don't. No, don't. Don't. Don't.
48:04
What are you doing? Do I get to keep my lanes? Do I get to keep F-I-R? I think I do. I think I get to keep... Oh, train! Yes! Oh! Alright, here we go. I get to keep F.I.R. Perhaps I'm just projecting my own concern. Okay, fire.
48:28
Don't do the sling thing again! This is going to be a fast game. Wow, that was a late flip Uh, Hal I just want you to know that we're all counting on you So no pressure What the hell was that? 4 and 6, 4 and 6 Oh, don't start the post passes again, bro Thank you Oh my god No, you're not ready to lock yet, so Straight down Oh I kind of want to see that again I just hit the replay button on that Sick save Ah, crap Progress, huh? 36 Oh, nailed it. Everything is going extremely well. Look at the lane switching now. Lane switching like a mofo.
49:47
Oh they post all day Boom Oh, shut up. Oh, my goodness. This is insane. Boom! Oh, uh... Drain! Alright, that's not... You know what? That's not insurmountable. I might be able to get to 135 I want to look at this real quick This is me, but let's see This 6th save was cray cray Ready? It's going to go right down the middle Up Straight down the middle and Wopopopo I mean that was just a flail Like that just went to flail mode I think 3rd Axis wrote flail mode There's a whole like It just flails, I mean that's what I would have done. Give me bonus, give me bonus, give me bonus. Son of a... I am done. That's the game That's the fastest loss I think tonight I'm not too far behind Yo listen Listen Here We're gonna let Hal play it out Listen Here's the thing I'm not too far behind this puck Okay Last time I played I think I was way Way behind Like I think I won one out of like Eight games or something like that now. I'm not too far behind
51:44
There he goes got firepower So the thing caught up with the lanes what are the priorities now let's shoot up the middle
52:02
Wait, I don't see he's shooting. Where is he shooting? Where is he? Fatality. And he locked the ball.
52:14
Hello? Hey, Micah, you want to watch me get destroyed? We're almost done. It is hot in here. It's because I'm on fire.
52:28
All right. Wait, are you getting destroyed by a bot? Wait. He sounded so sad. Yeah, I'm playing Firepower AI. Yeah, I remember. Oh, man. He just won another one.
52:45
All right. Is it expert? We're on expert now because we're almost done. We're on expert. Now I'm going to see if I can win.
52:52
Come on, Dad. I can win again against the bot. Well, I can't, though. All right. He goes first on this one. We're almost done. He goes first.
53:05
This is the only game that he can play. That's the math. My other laptop decided to explode before the screen.
53:43
Look at that lane switching. Why does this guy flip while he's up there? Because that's called lane switching, man. I've been trying to teach you that. When the ball goes up to the top of a pinball machine, you can usually control the lights with the flippers. Oh, I did that. I did that in Batman. I always do that just to get that free skill shot. Not in Batman, though. Not in Batman. I meant, I meant, I meant, uh, black bag. Black bag. You know that, right? Yeah, I know. You can do a virgin bloody copperhead without the vodka. No, give me the vodka. Give me the vodka. I'll take the vodka. Actually, we're supposed to be in this mode.
54:20
Wait, he's playing. Man, this is not a good start for me. That's your brother. You can let him in. Alright, here we go.
54:38
Actually, keep the door open because it's really warm in here. Open the door wide. Yeah, thank you. Alright, here we go. Here we go. Daddy's going to try and not look silly in front of all these people. Skylar, you pull it. Go. Ah, super speed, go.
54:55
Now I got good luck. I got my boys here. I got some luck now. Dad. Dad, show me. Dad, I can't see it. Oh.
55:14
Got a catch. Ah, it's lame. We've got how to carry, Skyler. How do you carry, Skyler? Come here, Skyler. You can watch. I enjoy working with people.
55:24
We've got how to carry. Oh, that's it. I'm going to get embarrassed in front of my children. In front of my children. It's a hacker bot. Or I mean an expert bot. It's fine. It's an expert hacker bot. When I play online, there's this cool server in Minecraft called PvPlan and I can barely beat the medium bot. Really? Yeah. Because they take so less, they don't take any knockback. No knockback? They like take zero knockback. Heck you say! Zero knockback? The knockback factor is null? No, no, it's not null. It's like 1.5, that's very low. I really wish I could get a firepower, but this guy's got 230,000 going now.
56:19
How is this, how is this extra box so high? It was excellently coded by ThirdAxis and his... ...Buds. Whoopie! He put this together. What was that? It was... Whoopsie! It was one of the bugs.
56:34
And they're going again. He's going again. Is this the first time you guys have ever watched a pinball streamer not play pinball and get his butt kicked by a not existing player? Yeah. Here, let me uh, let me just, you're supposed to be on HAL, I know.
56:55
I'm calling it HAL just because I don't have a name for it. So power, 3,000, um, in lanes. Oh, yeah, you can type in the term. I wanna win. Yeah, there.
57:18
I am so done. It's 300,000 now. Yeah, that's exactly what I feel. What the robots just said. This is ball number two. So he's going to wipe me out in the last one. It's going to be a wipeout. Look at that. 3,000.
57:35
Ripping the spinner. Gives him another bunch of thousands. Skyler, you're heavy. I got to put you down. More spinner.
57:46
Hang on. I'm going to get a picture of him. I want to take a picture, okay? Yeah! Hang on. This is why I run my stream, so I can take pictures with my kids. Ready?
57:59
Three, two, one, smile! I don't know where the camera is. Ah! Still going, guys. Still going. Alright, come on down. I'm at the police station. I need to take pictures. We can take more pictures later, but I have to finish this game and close up the street.
58:28
Alright, good job. Is this his second firepower? Maggie. Oh wait. I'm a street fighter. Hey look. Ha ha ha. I'm a street fighter.
58:55
Man, this cat's gonna keep going. Five, half a, half a, half a, uh, half a million. Can I, can I, I wanna do like a, a cheat code. Thank you for the follow. Here's that. Cursed Designs. Thank you so much. Did I get to play? I'm going to try and push it. Do I get to actually play? Look at that ball, it's 690,000, so that's what I'm up against. Wow, and this ball too. Oh, Can you do another rip? Because that rip is stuck.
59:38
I got a stuck rip. Two. Please don't. It worked. It just shut through with another rip. Ooh, I locked the ball. I know. I will put them in there in a minute. Once I'm turning this straight. I have to play this game.
60:05
I have to play this game. The divorce is up. Hey, I'm being distracted so I can't play. I'm going to say that.
60:15
Do they pop up? Yes, they pop up. I know it's a good story. You're not being distracted. Come on. Love Kord. Why is this door behind me?
60:34
Oh no! How does he do it? He's really good! He's really good at it! Let's see if he can break a million guys. No he doesn't aim well. There are no... Well I guess you can aim very well. But this is Kimball. He's not Overwatch or Fortnite. So... Alright. I have to make 750,000 points.
61:06
I got one ball locked. I have to show... Skyler, Skyler, no, no, no, no, no. Don't touch, don't touch. You can watch here, Skyler, but don't touch it. I only have one ball locked, I think, though. Dad, you want to go in there. You want to go in there. Oh, boy. Crap Oh and I tilted away The rest of my things Alright well Guys once again Amazing job Oh so we gotta put up that last score That is for That is 5 to 3 I think I did pretty decently Need a milk crate for the kids at Santa Yes, you're right Retro Addicts, what's up? G'day mate, how you feeling? I do have to get one of those stools Because this guy right here This guy right here actually likes to play He likes to play And I want to get him to play a little more So he has a nice place to stand And this guy back here He's fine He can play But once again, thanks guys Retro Addicts, you gotta try this out Get the third axis' version, the latest version, with optimized code of Williams Firepower versus AI. Final score, 5-3, but you know what? I'm nowhere near as good at this game, even in real life, as Retro Addict. I mean, at third axis, and his code is... Aww!
62:50
That was well-timed. all right I'm gonna put these guys to bed thank you guys for joining me roller pinball what's up I'll make sure I didn't miss anybody let me see good day mate I got a rift there retro addicts do you have any posts you have any posts on how you built your VP cap actually I I don't cuz I built I built it 10 years ago. I built this puppy like 10 years ago and I didn't really document it. There wasn't that much documentation at the time either.
63:30
I'm sure there are a ton of really good resources for building a cab and I think I should start listing them in the description so people know how to build them. Anyway, alright, that's going to do it. And if Don't Panic Flip is flipping right now, we're going to go raid him and thanks again. Keep up the good work, mate. Thank you so much.
63:55
Pins rule. Working hard, enjoying this weird experience. Think about building one. Yeah. Look, it's kind of it is a pain, but it's the pain that you ask for, right? It's fun. It was the best five months of my life, and then the rest of my life as I kept adding stuff to it. Have a good night. Thanks, guys. These guys are going crazy. Alright. We'll see you. Bye.
64:19
