🎵 Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Open your eyes What can you see around? Winds of the open sky Over the siren sound This is a dream Getting the royal scar Holding a diamond blade Throwing it far Holding your breath still You jump the fire Well, just sit and wait till You got it And try to tell me you got the wrong guy Got the wrong Got the wrong guy Got the wrong guy Don't try to tell me you got the wrong guy Good evening, all. Hopefully you can hear me. I think, yeah, I think you can. Good evening. Hi. How are things? How is life? Happy Monday if you're in the U.S. or if you celebrate holidays of the United States. Happy July or Eve of Independence Day. Wow. Man, that all just got rotated to all the weirdest angles right now. We're good. We're good. Tablet charging up over here. So walking over there to change scenes and then walking back. We're going to have that fixed very soon. But in the meantime, it's for y'all. It's really stupid to open the can at an angle because it all came out. Ah, yeah. So, hi. Happy Monday. I think I already said that, but it's fine. It's just been a while. I hope everybody has had an opportunity to play some pinball recently. Got a new temporary addition to the game room here. We got a Lord of the Rings in-house for, I'm guessing, about a month, maybe a month and a half. I'm going to give you a heads up. Hi, Iron Fox. I'm Bill from Memphis. Borg Dog. Good evening. Razor, welcome. Spyro the Husky, welcome. It's not LED, but it works really well. Got to play test it a bit. This is Escher's Baby over here for a little bit while he's out, I think, doing the, is it the Brisbane Masters over there? next month or so in Australia. So excited to give Lord of the Rings another kick the tires kind of situation. I have no intention of making it to Valinor. Let's just get that off the list immediately because it's not going to happen. But, you know, I would love to spend a little bit more time with the rule set on it. Maybe jump on tilt forms, assuming that there is a breakdown there. Really get a feel for the modes. Maybe there's a better order to try to get the modes done. And I do need to nail down the multivolts in Lord of the Rings as well to know how best to beat those multivolts in order to make some progress or at least fake like we have a chance. How's the music right now, by the way? Is the music too loud? Is it too soft? I think... I can't tell, honestly. It looks like... It could just be me. Where is that? It seems like it just got louder. Yeah, that's actually funny. All right. I'm going to bring... I'm going to bring those... There we go. Okay. And then I'm going to play at max volume to me. Okay, now I can barely hear it. All right, we're going to adjust it back up a little bit here. I think this should probably be there. Okay, I think I found the good levels. Maybe. I don't know. Maybe the music just got too quiet. But while I was over there, I went ahead and changed scenes. It's manual. Hey, hey, hey. The tablet just hit 0%. Iron Fox, we got the thumbs up. Iron Fox, good evening. Mmm. Also, I am drinking this evening Ahoy-A-Spirit Greyhound. This is a fantastic pre-mixed craft cocktail with vodka, grapefruit, chamomile, and cardamom in it. Vodka with natural flavors. It's at 6%. It tastes wonderful. This is kind of my new go-to. It's pretty sweet, but it's not as sweet as some of the other pre-mades. And I wonder, gluten-free, vegan, I mean, that's pretty much all pre-mixed cocktails at this point. And I wonder if there's a breakdown on calories or anything. No. What, no kitchen sink in there? Nope. The backpack, though. So I still have my Oakley kitchen sink backpack. That, though, I think there's supposed to be a lifetime guarantee, but it's like the product lifetime, not your lifetime. Yeah, calories, lots. Exactly. Borg Dog. I'm guessing this is higher on the calories. I was already a pretty high on the calories kind of day. I'm going to put that... Oh, you know what? I can grab a chair. Right. What are we going to do? I think we're going to play some Mando. Mando, to me, is such a great game to get back into streaming with because this is a fun, easy one. It has its difficulties, but the rule set is pretty well laid out. And if you guys aren't familiar with Mando, right here on the play field, it kind of walks you through the majority of the game. There's five missions, right? It says missions, and then in yellow we have three highlighted. And I think you can change everything that's current, the mission, and maybe the Razor Crest based on hitting maybe those targets over there and some of these targets. I don't know. We're going to walk through the rules, and we're just going to make stuff up. But you've got to get through the five missions here. And once you complete those five missions, or at least start them and then drain the ball, you get to the first mini wizard mode, which is I like those odds. Down here, oh, and to do that, it's right ramp, left ramp, hit the scoop. For the first two missions, hitting the scoop spots you either the right ramp or the left ramp. So you can just hit scoop, scoop, scoop, and get into the first mission. scoop, scoop, scoop, get into the second mission. After that, you have to go right ramp, left ramp, any order. It really doesn't make a difference. And then hit that scoop. Let's see. That's missions. Number two is your multiballs. There's three different multiballs. And the first one is already lit for you, and it's just this up-the-middle shot. If you want to get into the next multiball without draining a ball, you're going to need to get into Hunter. I don't think Scope does it, but at least Hunter does it. and that requires you to hit these three targets. Somebody just did something. Meta Knightmen, welcome. Oh, yeah, we are Mando-ing again. Let's see. You know, I'm not, like, in a rush to get rid of Mando at this point, but if we were to beat this game and get to This is the Way, I would be okay moving on to something else. My something else right now would probably be a vaulted Spider-Man. I think that's my next go-to. I still want a Jurassic Park Premium, and then I'm on the list if Venom is coming out. I'm on the list for an LE. So I also really hope that happens. When are we going to Valinor? Meta Knight, then probably not going to happen. I'm just being very truthful. Despite the fact that Escher is trying to get to Valinor, he gets to it so frequently that evidently he's put himself into ultra hard mode where he has to complete everything the first time through. And if he doesn't, he has to restart. So it's doable. It's been done even on this particular machine. And this machine shoots really well. I'm just not setting any unachievable expectations, let's say. We're getting on. To do all three multiballs in one ball, you would have to get into a multiball. Then you have to do hunter. After hunter is completed, then you qualify a hurry-up up the middle. And then after that hurry up is completed, you then qualify your multiball, which once again requires you to hit it up the middle a bunch. So a lot of middle shots with the hunter in between. Otherwise, every time you drain a ball, it relights the next stage of multiballs, which is always multiball, hurry up, multiball, hurry up, multiball. Once you complete those three multiballs, which honestly to me is the thing that happens the least often in this game, is to get to precious cargo. After that's done, you get to precious, or all three of those multiballs, you get to precious cargo. That's mini wizard mode number two. Try to tilt. Welcome to the stream. We're walking through the basic rule set of Mando really quick. I'm here because someone told me this is the way. Squalito, good evening. Meta Knightman is currently at level two. Yes. So Meta Knightman, as you do things on the stream, you're now adding more XP than everyone else at level one. And I'm doing great. Kid kind of went to sleep mostly by themselves. I only got one callback. We'll call them callbacks. And what else? I took today off. Yeah, Squaldito. I'm online, going to try and get back into the standard Monday, Tuesday, Thursday schedule. I think I'm ready to start getting back into pinball. I am definitely going to be spending a lot more time on the polygame. So we're going to be doing the playing here and then jumping over there. We're going to be playing that game quite a bit. Ape Out, honestly, is still a game like I... Kind of the way that when I had Starz. Starz was the game that I would play all the time. I would just get in a quick game here and there. I would have eight games in the house, but Stars is the one that I would personally play. I hated streaming it because it's not fun to play for two hours, but it's the best 15-minute game I think I've ever owned. And it has that, just one more, just one more. I can play it just one more time and maybe get that 100,000-point bonus for getting all the stars. That's what Ape Out is. Ape Out has that same kind of feel to it. Captain Zanzibar, welcome to the stream. Congratulations. I feel like I've given you congratulations through other people, but I don't remember if I actually congratulated you on your most recent wedding. So big congratulations. Try to tilt. I've been considering one of those big Voltex controllers, but the game looks hard as hell to play. Try to tilt. It is very hard. I have that controller sitting right over there. My problem, honestly, is I don't remember the process I have to go through to re-up on money to actually play Sound Voltex. That's the toughest part because the websites are in Japanese, and they don't translate very well, and it's not intuitive, the least. You've got to do, it's like an eight-step process to load up a card. Then you have to go back and pay with that card, and you can't set it up on autopay, so you have to do it once every 30 days. That has been the only reason I've not been playing soundvoltex all the time. So I'm going to try and boot up my iPad. It's now at 2%, and it's plugged in. It just had to get over. It had to get 0% before I could boot it up. And when I do that, then I'll be able to switch scenes from right here. No problem. I feel like it's been a while since I caught a stream of yours. Captain Zanzibar, I took like a month and a half break. and then even after coming back like I had to go out to DC last week for work and that was very fun let me tell you like I would recommend DC what a great time had such an awesome time I posted a bunch of pictures of what we ended up doing because I ended up doing seeing I feel like everything in DC but there was more there's so much more that I want to go back and do but I got to do all the big ones and then got to do a big five and a half mile run on Thursday morning last week with the group of work people I went. So much fun. And we did the Washington Monument to the Capitol Building. And then we were running back and realized that we only had to go a mile out of our way to hit the White House. So we did a nice 7 o'clock in the morning jog around D.C. That was awesome. Had so much fun. Okay. My tablet is catching up on 10 billion things right now. We're going to open up Space Desk. Space Desk is going to throw a fit. No, I don't want to support the developer team. Oh, it worked. Let's see. Can I change a scene? We did. Yes. Look at that. We can go to chat. it is so it's so funny too because I had to keep reminding myself that DC has a lot of history a lot of history but in the grand scheme of things if you go to London or pretty much anywhere in Europe they have not just a couple hundred years or I guess a few hundred years of history but they have a lot more history than the United States does so as cool as that feeling is to hit DC and the surrounding areas. I imagine it's that at a multiplier or something like Ireland or London. London, yeah, it's just all these cool places I still really want to go. Hmm. So on that note, and the fact that I can now switch scenes so easily, we're going to jump in here and let's get a game going. Well, I mean, I already started the game, but let's actually... Oh, sorry. I was going through the rules, and then I got sidetracked. Never happens. It's funny. I was having a great conversation the other day. This is a perfect example of what I'm talking about, though. Having a great conversation. It was probably about a month ago with a really cool person, and the first thing that she pointed out was, so how long have you had undiagnosed ADD? And I remember chuckling and being like, why? uh and evidently the conversation uh just went all over the place started things started saying things moved on to other stuff eventually came back i had to do one of those um oh wait a second i never followed up with or finished up what i was going to say about this other thing we kept we kept going off on tangents and then finding ways to like force it back into to loop backs so So, yeah, yeah, that was interesting. I think at some point I may have to, may go get tested. But Zanzibar, you are going to Ireland in August. Congratulations. I got to get something set up. I got to do Disney World and take my kiddo there and do all of the theme parks. I'm thinking four or five days, and we should be able to get the majority of what we want to get done, including Star Wars World and Harry Potter World, which I know she'll freak out about. And then also then I want to do Epcot. She wants to go do a couple of other things. I think four days is probably good to do that. And then I want to take Jay-Z and go do Ireland. That would be, I think, the next big one I want to go do. So the final part of the directions, we're going to get there. We'll get there, is encounters. So over here, you have three levels of encounters. And then if you look, and it's kind of hard to see, but there's also three levels on the encounter play field, which on the premium is a separate physical play field that moves up and down or rotates. So level one has three levels of encounters. And it's really just a ball gets up there and you have to hit the lit shots. Once you complete all three levels for each level of the encounter, it's done. it releases the ball, and then you have to hit the left ramp in order to qualify encounters again. And the number of times you have to hit the left ramp increases for each level of encounters. Once you get all three encounters done, keeping in mind that, of course, you have three levels per encounter, you light, you have what I want. That is your third and final mini wizard mode. You complete all three of those mini wizard modes, and they're all phased, which is super fun. I like those odds is three phases the third phase is a multiball for you have what I want I think that's maybe the four phases and the first one's a multiball I don't even remember but you have what I want traps a ball in the upper playfield which is super fun and then I feel like I've done precious cargo a bunch I don't remember it but it's another phase somebody just did something oh my gosh angry old man gaming official just brought 12 beautiful people over. Angry old man. Yee-haw! Yee-haw! Yee-haw! Yee-haw! Yee-haw! Yee-haw! Yee-haw! Yee-haw! Yee-haw! Yee-haw! Yee-haw! Yee-haw! Yee-haw! Yee-haw! You never love me, my... Maybe you guys are getting the sound. Well, angry old man. I don't think I got the sound. I may have turned off the reflection on that, so that way I get the sound. you are getting the sound okay cool, chaotix, pointing out that never gets old, okay I didn't get the sound but you all did and on top of that we just hit level 2, angry old man you are fantastic, what were you streaming tonight and the question of this evening for any raiders is do you prefer going for points or for progression when you are playing pinball, so there we go What were you streaming, and when you're playing pinball, which do you prefer? Also, if you are not already following Angry Old Man Gaming Official, you should be. Click the name, click the follow button. You will not be sad with that choice. Ooh, Angry Old Man Gaming Official, which is just fun to say. I was just playing Stranger Things. Been in Montreal for 10 days, so just wanted to play some games. I get it. Queen Dark Lady prefers going for fun. Interesting. So what makes Queen Dark Lady? I want to jump into that. Angry Old Man Gaming Official says I like progression. I'm also in the progression realm, or I prefer the progression. But Queen Dark Lady, when you say going for fun, does that mean that you're going for multi-balls? I'm curious because when you talk to some competitive players, they think the fun side of things is racking up a score or figuring out how to hack the game and kind of break it, right? Like you've got some of those players out there like Carl who can put up $30 or $40 billion on JJP's newest game, Godfather, right? And finding those little breaks in programming, which is great. Zanzibar likes to hit the blinking lights. I get that, right? And then for me, I find it fun to be forced to play through the game through like a story mode. And that's what I find kind of fun. But I'm interested, QDL, when you say you play for fun, is it untargeted at that point? Okay. Or at this point, is it just trying to keep the ball alive and not drain? Which is perfectly fine as well. Angry Old Man Gaming Official. Except in Mando, I just want to do Jetpack Multiball and hit that super. I understand. Tad Bishop welcome Pirates multiball double triple supers are very lucrative So we got something kind of fun that I got to see We'll show it in a bit. And I don't want to jump in too fast and say whether or not it's going to be successful. I've got to try it. And we'll see how that works out. The final part of the rule set, though, is this is the way. And once you complete Precious Cargo, you have what I want, and I like those odds at life. This is the way. except you have to hit every shot one more time on the play field. They all go white, and you have to hit all of the white shots before you can actually start This Is The Way, which I think is on the scoop. I don't know. I've been there a few times, and I always drain on ball three as I'm trying to hit every shot one last time, which should not be that difficult. So let's see how this goes this evening. Let's give it a whirl. Good start. I like where the game's head is at. Alright, we're fine. We're fine. We're totally... Oh, no. Totally fine. I gotta find the timing on that. I can't believe it kicked the ball out. There's actually a hair on the play field. What was that? Meta Knightman. I like doing progression. Most of the time it does give me a good score. Meta Knightman. Sorry, I skipped that. And Chaotix always plays for points. All right, we're going to trigger an encounter here. And then we're going to protect the child. Complete Targets to start bonus level. And this is about as flat as we're going to get on this first level encounter. So I'm going to trap up. I was really hoping for something better there. Fine. Fine. We're going to go there. Obviously what I was trying to do. We destroyed the Imperial base. Our first mode is done, and we got a time bonus of almost 5 million points for a total of 15.4. Great. Now we go left ramp, right ramp in order to qualify another mission. We are a couple of shots away from starting our first Razor Crest multiball, which is on number two. I think that's the Spiders. I'd love to have some more Beskar going into this. Games like Mando, I really enjoy the story, so points just kind of come in our secondary. I'm right there with you. Angry. Shooting straight up the middle and upper play field always seems risky to me. I agree. Hmm. All right. We're going to scope. Got it. And, man, we really – oh, that's right. second one, we get spotted the shot there. Gotta remember it. Okay. Also, the music... Shut up! Oh my god, I don't care! Somebody just did something. Hire Peanut. Welcome to the stream. Wow. I just need to be better I have not caught a second shot yet. There it is. We're ready to start our multiball. I think we're in our second mission. Should I do it? I think I should do it. We're only at 150 Beskar. I kind of want to finish this encounter first. Let's do it. Let's do it. Hey, Sveg, welcome! Alright, we're on level three up there. That's fine. That's fine. We're totally cool here. Alright, two shots here. I can probably get them both on one flip. Here we go. All right, bonus level completed. Encounter one is done. We are ready to start our multiball. I think I'm going to wait for the third mission. Nope, we're going to start it right now. All right, so we're in jetpack. Oh, yeah, we completed the mode. So we're just in this multiball. This is great. Okay, what do we need now? Shoot flashing shots, super jackpot to increase the jackpot. Building Beskar is nice. Well, that's what I was trying to do. Spud killer, greetings. All right. Whatever. All right, so now we're in ambush. There's one. There's one. there's another I don't actually know what we're supposed to be doing here on ambush do we just have to hit all the shots All right, whatever. Let's just tab out. All right, so we have scope lit. We have 247 on the foundry. All right, so here's what we're going to try. Oh, the goal of Ambush is curse Dwight's name while you time out the mode. Okay. And I know everyone times it out. So we're going to try something, and this is what Escher Swift's showing. Let's see if it works. So if you double tap really quickly, evidently you get something cool every time. That gave us a plus one on the multiplier. I don't know that that's really all that cool. I guess we can go for 6x here. Let's go. Okay, so now we're in our 6X. Okay, we're going to start a mission. We've got an extra ball lit. And it's spotted Hunter. Hunter. All right. Got it. So we captured the mithril, and now we need to hit the right side. Got it. Got it. There's that. So we've still got our 6x running right now. So what is this going to be worth? 9 million? Well, that was a big waste of 6x. There! I love getting 6x for 100 Veskar. There, exactly. So I tried the double tap, and it gave me plus one, but let's see what happens. Oh, wow, it's 718 Veskar. Okay, so it's highlight and double tap. All right, I'm trying to... Mr. Hardluck, here we go. I have to go quicker? Is that what you're saying? Oh, my God. All right, all right, all right. It's got to be even quicker than that. Mmm. Okay, so we've got more missions. uh wait how do we light um target practice welcome too many oh my i'm on the first first drink of the night and it's only half gone that was pretty quick there for a drain thank you spud killer okay so up and around um what are what else oh so we've got razor crest lit since We already went through and did the hurry up for it. We could focus on encounters. I guess we can do that in the mission. Something just fell in the game. I'm hoping it was the tilt ball. Tilt ball. multiball is lit for qualifying. There we go. Up and around. We're going to do this and try and catch up on that side. Beautiful. Okay, great. Nice, safe mission. And it's going to force me to hit that left ramp. That's good. So how do we get back into the foundry? That's the question. Not that way. um solid ball one with the extra ball yeah that was that was great the little bounce from one side to the other and then make it up that ramp that i love that little combo it's great it's better if you it's better if you don't mess it up all right we're gonna give that another try we've got encounter lit child that completed our mission we're on ball two multiball is lit I guess let's go there. Oh, Hunter is how you get back into it? All right. There was a tiny little Laz in that upper play field there. That was great. That counts. We're going to go back up there. I got one. Let's go ahead and start this mission. No, we're not. Got it. And Hunter gives the most Beskar. Got it. Buku Beskars. Okay. Okay. why why did it stop moving all right that was that was rough but i deserve that Ah, Ryan has not played their Ellie in months. Did a co-op 10 ball for four players. I have never... Beskar is infinite after you get to 6x once. Okay. Oh, wow. I'm at 630 Beskar. I really should focus on getting that other extra ball. So what, oh, we have, I like those odds lit. We got into it just because we drained. So I need to, I don't know, hit that shot some. Oh, hey, scope is lit. So Scope does not relight Boundary. I was thinking it was Scope or Hunter, but Seraph, you said it was Hunter. Yes, Dr. Curly Tech. I absolutely tried away. Okay. Level two of Encounters is done. I know, while scope was active, it doesn't count for the mission. We do have, I like those odds lit. I don't really care to do that. There's the second multiball right now, which we could prep. Let's do that. Three more to light Razorcrest. One more for target practice over there. I don't know. We could also hit the child. Yeah, let's do that. Which one, which one, which one? Uh. That was crap, game. But we did get that two and a half. No, I think I was wrong. I thought it was either Hunter or Scope that relit it, but it's just Hunter. Nervtastic, welcome to the stream. I know. 2.5 mil, so worth. All right, let's do that. Oh, wait a second. I should probably do the at-home login thing. Alright, we're logged in. Let's do this again. There's one. Two. And... Three. Okay. That whole combo right there. If I could do that every time I played the game, just that four moves constantly, I feel like I could beat this game. That's it. And Nervtastic, how has Foo been? Foo has been great. Really enjoying Foo. Ready for Overlord to be in the game. I don't think it's in there just as of yet, although it did auto-update kind of automatically just the other day. Hey, Angry Old Man Gaming Official, have a great night, and thank you again for that raid. Y'all, one more time, if you're not already following Angry Old Man Gaming Official, please click the name, click the follow. You will appreciate, if you weren't already following Angry Old Man Gaming Official, you will appreciate him being on your list. And what am I doing? I don't know. Lost my train of thought. Fine, it wasn't a great train of thought. We're going to get an encounter moving. with the Laz, still could not hit the shot. We're going to do it again, because I really don't feel comfortable with that cross ramp yet, despite the fact that I think I've already hit it a few times. All right, we're on our third level. Two shots left. You know what? Now, nope. That was rough. Let's see here. I thought you just needed enough Beskar, but yeah, you probably have to do Hunter. I know. Sarah, we're going to get back in there. We're going to hit the foundry. Oh, that's right. on the first couple of missions. I don't even have to hit that right now. Okay. But I want to just for the funsies. Really? Super cool. One. Come on. We can complete this. Why am I holding up the flippers? There we go. Alright, middle shot. Evidently that helped. Somebody just... Pumper Nugget! Welcome to the stream. How are you doing? Alright. We just need to light the foundry and we'll show it off again. And I will not be an old man. And I will tap it way faster. Really? All right, that's going to do something there. That works. that is the only shot I was going for that entire time whatever missions up we're on ball two that's right play field multipliers that's 66 seconds I feel like that's counting down very fast uh wait what's down and you knew pins on your wish list or you set at the moment on pins chaotix with But after dropping off Lord of the Rings, I'm kind of full right now. That said, a JP Premium is going to happen one of these days, just because I do think it's the greatest game ever. And I've got to wait to see if Venom gets announced. If Venom gets announced, I'm in on an LE. So I would say those are the two big ones. Knowing that Pulp Fiction is going to be February to March of next year is really a bit of a downer. But, you know, whatever. I will hold off space for Pulp Fiction when it's ready. Hey, I just got a Lord of the Rings. Stop copying me, George. Well, thankfully, this isn't mine. It's temporarily here for a month or so. No, no, no. Just holding on to it for a short amount of time. What is that? Oh, the Playfield Multiplier is about to time out. so there it is that's gonna count towards qualifying the next mode and we can hit this last no we're not there's that now let's complete that last shot please Getting good enough to get Valinor takes even longer than in the book. There we go. Okay, we completed Encounter 1. It's definitely grindy, but there is enough nuance in the rules that every mode is interesting. Okay? Honestly, my hope for the next month is just to get enough time on it to really feel comfortable with the rule set. I think I'd be happy with that. Oh, are you kidding me? That did not bounce over. Tilt forums is down. The stream is fine. Okay, cool. Thank you, Hierophina. From the foundry on demand. I'd recheck the tilt forums. Is that a mode? I know. Oh, do I have best star? No. Foundry is not lit yet. But let's go ahead and grab that extra ball since we're already at ball three. Wow. So we've got to do this a bunch. And we've still got mission number five. I guess, oh, no. Okay. Left ramp. There it is. Right ramp. Got it. We're going to go center. Are you kidding me? Game is just so brutal, everyone. It's so loud. I'll take it. Whatevs. I do what I want. And there we go. Mission start. Just got the hoarder achievement on this at Pinball Jones. What is the hoarder achievement? Little Golem, multiball, 7 seconds, 2x, 7 seconds, half-x. No other game has anything like that. Oh, you're saying the nuance in the scoring-based code stuff that Keith put into it. All right, let's hit that. Start our time. Really It just kind of sitting up there Alright, wow, that is balanced perfectly. I'm going to wait for it to do a ball search. We'll give it the old power nudge. There it goes. Got it. And... Alright. It gave me something out of that. I'm not sure the significance there. Do we have to hit that target again? I'm just going to hit that. Okay, we're good there. Now we've relit our second multiball. I'm going to try and do that fun transfer. There it is. Hey, we've got our foundry lit. All right, let's see if this works. And let's see if I'm the old man. Got it. Oh, my God. It totally works. You have to not be an old man. All right, let's do it. Seraph, did you see it? Bumper Nugget, did you see it? Oh, I saw it, and we'll review it. I did that earlier and then went straight... Okay, which is fine. So there's one of like four or five different awards you can get out of this if you double tap it, and we're back in the Foundry again. So we're going to do this again, and... Oh, no. Let's see if we can get back in. Hopefully we get Dank Ferric out of this. All right, don't be an old man. Hit it again, and got into Dank Ferric. There's no question it works. Two in a row. Two in a row. Whoopee. Somebody just did something. What was that? Party 100. It's dank time. Whatever. Mamma Mia, that's a spicy meatball. All right, you just double tap, you put it on the question mark, and you tap as quick as you possibly can, and you will get the question mark. And if you get the question mark, you get one of, like, four different awards. Do I just time this out? Yeah, okay. Right orbit. Right orbit. How much was that worth? 31? All right, Hunter is lit. We've got Mission there. There. All right. If only I had known this last year, I could have beat Eric Stone. Yeah, keep me frenzy. We're going to do it every time for the entire evening. Oh, I kind of moved the pinball machine, I think, at one point. How's that? Mucho mejor. There we go. One. Two. Three. All right. What do we need here? So encounter? Nope. There we go. Okay. Shoot the right scoop? What is the right scoop? There is no right scoop. Does that mean like the correct scoop? Oh, man, one shot almost got the first encounter done in one go. That would have been fun. All right, so we're in our mode. I don't really care too much about it, but it's fine. There's that. Okay, that mode is done. Last shot in order to complete encounter one. If it's the same for everyone, Dwight might not even consider it a bug. It's a feature. All right. Wow. Wow. For random shooting, that wasn't bad. Okay, we've got encounter one done, mission one done. We are just a few shots away, I think, from starting Razorcrest. Let's start up a second. A second mission. Let's do that. Somebody just did something. What was that? Oh, we got a level increase. 500, bringing us up to 1,057. We hit level three. I'm going to do all the cool stuff while you guys can't see it. All the cool stuff just happened. You want to see you get 6x from ambush. Alright, don't do that. There's that. I'm aware of what I missed. Thank you. All right, let's go ahead and hit the mission. We're in mission number two, and we lost the light for multiball. But I assume we're in a multiball. Yes, we're in pirates. Bill Burr is just so angry. Up and around. darn it okay hunter hunter perfect i lit hunter just inside yeah did i miss everything i think i did no meta nightmare on level three isn't a milestone level so there's no yeet skirt on level three level four on the other hand if i remember correctly is a milestone level great start i love i love uh the smell of failure first thing in the morning so So let's go there. Nice and easy. And we're going to do it again. No, actually, we're going to do that and work on encounters. Yep, yep, yep. There it is. Been too busy wasting my life away in Diablo 4. That is a game I think I'd like to play a little bit. Has anyone been playing Dave the Diver? If not, check it out really good. No, I've not even heard of it. Have yourself a multi. That's not good. Alright, so we're going to hit that. That. I'm done with D4 until season starts. Not enough endgame yet. All right, level one for encounter one is done. I'll take it. Let's go, I don't know, what's the blue on the side? Oh, blue increased shot awards. Let's see what happens. Oh, my God, that ball had so much spin on it. Alright. Oh, I can see that there's not much endgame left. I just like mindlessly killing mobs and running with friends. Alright, level two. All right, level two is done. Looks good. Up and around. Let's see if we can complete our level three here. Done. You're the target, Hodgin. All right, what do we need now? We need a multiball preparation shot. Get it over to that left flipper. Make a nice backhand happen. We're going to get into our second mode. And now I think we're only one shot away from our multiball. That didn't work. There we go. Get there, thank you. Ooh, ice spider. Am I making it up? They're not actually spiders, right? Because they don't have eight legs. All right, that was awful, which is fine. We're going to go up and around. All right. We lit Hunter. I play a lot of Path of Exile, so I'm jaded with endgame content. D4 will hopefully get there in a few years. They're not spiders because they evolved on a different planet, but it's close enough. Higher peanut, excellent point. They're not even from Earth. So what's the deal with Dave the Diver? The name alone makes it seem like something I'd be interested in. If I'm honest, the spider scene didn't deserve to be in the game. It wasn't important or impactful in the show. Uh, it did create the connection between the Mandalorian and the, the positive connection between the Mandalorian and the, uh, Rebel Outpost. Well, I guess they're not the Rebels anymore. They're the New Order, the New Republic. There we go. Dave the Diver, so good. Are we on ball three? This game sucks. We're just going to time out ambush, right? Okay. Okay, and then we're going there. We have increased the Beskar. We're going to increase it again. There's 300. Right orbit. 325. Can I get a 400? Right orbit. Come on. There we go. Oh, man. Did we time it out? We did. That sucks. That sucks. Extra ball, since it's ball three. Ooh, does it work on the theme deck? Let's see. Mode end shot. Casual, but fun and addictive. Those are oftentimes my favorite games. that's the time it decided not to trigger off the sling. Those slings have been super sensitive all game. Oh, crap, we got an extra ball. And there we go. Got it for one. One. Perfect. Exactly the pitch I wanted it in. I have you now. And... Oh, no. Going to backhand that sucker. Looks good. mission up there. I did not time that appropriately. There we go. So we're out of that mode. I don't know how many more we have for our second multiball. Four more. Got scope lit. Really? There we go. We're going to grab our mission. Awesome. 18 bucks. Dave the Diver, right? 91 on Metacritic. That's pretty awesome. Okay, we're in our mode. I think we only need two more shots. One more. Razor Crest is now lit. Razor Crest. Pirate Multiball is good. It's going to give me that back, right? It is. Excellent. There's that. That's fine. All right, hey, we've got foundry there. There we go. We got a win. got it again start hunter collect best card from a hunt um does it give me hunter or it does up and around right orbit it. Got it. Now we're going to go there. Got it. Great. Now we're back. We have the foundry lit. That is a really cool. Hey, Razor, have a good one. Now we're back in the foundry. we have 505 is that really no it didn't I didn't I was too slow I was an old man there I'll take the light extra ball though Uh, what do we need now? We've got two Razorcrest done. We need to get Hunter yet again. And we've just started our second encounter. Uh, that's not good. I'm trying. I'm trying to calm down, game. Just give me a sec. There we go. I'll take it. And there we go. What? We've got 2x lit going right orbit. Wow. All right, what do we need now? We can advance for our third multiball. We can get back up for that encounter. Nope. But we did move the machine quite a bit. Yeah, there was a decent number of dangers there. So I didn't hit the button fast enough. We can fix that. I don't know exactly how we can fix that. I did tap it very quickly. All right. Child is lit. Sure. Eye. We need eye. Right there. 350 best car. That's what's so cool about the premium is you do get a little bit of control over where the ball sits there. Ah. We going child again L Let go L Another Grr. All right. Right ramp, left ramp. Right ramp, left ramp. encounter beautiful I know the game is definitely trying to show me that it knows better than I do we can go mode and found mode and foundry there it is all right we'll try the hack again. Got it. And it started ambush. Build, lock in, then collect. There's one. And two. There's three. I'm at 10 million. Four. Four. Well, we got all the shots. I don't know actually what that was going to build up to. It didn't seem like it was going to be a lot there. Okay. Okay. Got it. That was level one? That's pretty rough for level one. I'm going to go there. Try and catch it on that left flipper. Beautiful. And let's go encounter and yellow shot. Two birds, one stone. Level two done. On to level three. Missed it by that much. It's a little funky. I'll take it, though. And... Oh, no. That works. That works. If at first you don't succeed, drop, catch, and try again. All right. Encounter one is done. And... That's 12-5 and a 32% accuracy bonus. We've got our foundry lit again Let's see what we get Start all multipliers Playfield at 6x Guys, this is broken Let's do a multiball Let's be bad guys. Let's be bad guys. Well. Oh, my God. Don't time out on me. Got it. What was that at? 57. I'll take the 57. All right, we've started the hunter. Up and around, right orbit. Got it. All right, we lost our 6x. That's fine. We're going to hit that mode shot. And now we're going to hit left orbit. Can we? Got it. Oh, we leveled. No, we did not love... Oh. Hollywood Polo, welcome. I mean... Do I just go for the extra ball at this point? Yeah, we kind of... Let's go for that extra ball. Yeah, I know it's a good choice. Because I did it. Hollywood, happy 4th to you. I got a half hour, but... Oh my god. Again. That's so inconsistently consistent. The consistency sucks. Okay. We're ready for that shot. Beautiful. Now let's go to our mission, which should light yet another extra ball. Good. Good. Okay. Catching up on chat. Oh, actual pandas. What? Oh, was at the red pandas. Higher peanut was actually at the red pandas today. Awesome. Yeah, the game is kind of destroying me right now. It's fine. It's fine. We're good. We're fine, game. I see what you're doing, and I want you to know that I appreciate you. Okay, that's done. I'm going to hit moat shot. And then we're going to, oh no, mode shot. And mode shot, done. All right, third mode done. We're good. Ready to qualify our, we're on ball three. God. We've got the child lit, so we can grab some more Beskar that way, I guess. There we go. There we go. We can work on our multi-balls. Oh, also, we can go left ramp, right ramp for a mode. No idea what all that was about. There we go. We're ready to start our fourth mission. That was tough. Almost didn't make that one. All right. Brooklyn, welcome to the stream. I just ate a mandarin at that house. Yes, it does. We're on encounter two. We're on level two. Oh, man. and almost completed it because it had gone so flat. All right, let's see if we can finish off mode two. I'm going to wait for that to start going back. Or not. We got that extra ball. So we've got scope lit. One more to light multiball. Up and around. Good, good, good. Got it. All right, encounter number two, I think, is done. Encounter three is actually the easiest of all of them to complete, in my opinion. That's how you do it. Oh, the U-turn is a scoop on the pro, is it? All right, final mode is started. We need two shots to start Razor Crest. Let's do it. Not good. And Jenga. All right, we're good here. What do we need to hit? We need to hit some shots up top because we're in jetpack in order to get an add-a-ball. So we're going to be patient. Just be patient. We're just going to be super patient. All right. We're going to be patient again. One more. One more. There it is. There it is. Last shot here. And then once this releases an extra ball, we're going to hit another couple mode shots. And lost it immediately. That's fine. We're going to go left orbit. No, we're not. Do I care about the super jackpot right now? No. What do we need? We need left orbit. I think that's that game, right? Yeah. Only so many extra balls. What time is it? 11.41? All right, we got time. We got time for one more. The code says it. Okay, thank you. It did say right scoop, and I felt like I was very confused by that. focusing I feel like, yeah. The foundry is the way to go. We need the eye. Evidently we're not going to get the eye. We're not going to oh wow, dot the T's and cross the lowercase jades either. You know, that was not a great start to an end to an end game. Like, the last game of the night, we kind of need to not suck that much. Alright, alright, we're cool. We're cool. Because we can. We're just going to hit that scoop. We're going to do it again. Actually, no, now we're going to hit the left ramp because that also initiates our encounter. Obviously, if we do, we're going to get the ball back safely to that left flip. So we started our encounter. Now we can hit, I'm sorry, we started our mission. Now we can initiate our encounter. Let's get as flat as possible here. That's not good. Beautiful. Do we go back to the encounter or the mode, or do we start progressing our multiball? Let's go back to the encounter. Totally worth. Got it. All right, level two, three shots. I got one. I don't know why I feel like when I backhand, I have to really hit that button extra hard. Does anybody else do that? despite the fact that the pressure with which you actually hit that button has no impact whatsoever on how hard that ball goes up. There's that, and there we go. Yes, it took Kiwi Frenzy. It does. Oh wow, that last shot is actually really hard to hit. Ah, yes, it's a habit from video games. When releasing early lowers, jump height on the negative edge. I know exactly what you're talking about. It must have an impact. Explain tap passes. Ah, tap passes on older machines, yes. On newer machines, I think it's an all-or-nothing style switch. Although you can tap pass on newer machines. The speed with which you let it go, it doesn't fully activate the switch. It's interesting because the pressure does have an impact, but it's not the strength of the push. It's the quickness of the push. I don't know. I don't know that I'm making a ton of sense. Alright, we are mission. Wow. Ball three right away. All right, encounter one is done. From ball three, though, this isn't looking very promising. It's fine. Um, there we go. Up and around. We do have to hit that shot so many times in order to relight encounters. Let's start a mission, and then we've got multiball lit. Not good. Oh, my God. Just give me the shot. There we go. Lighting it all up. I did not know I had two balls up top. All right, what do I got to hit here? I have to hit either of the orbits. Now I think I have to hit this orbit? it. Huh, that was a decent ice fighter. Um, everything you said made perfect sense to me. I think I lost the context on that, but you know what? No biggie. Why is that flashing red right now? And why is nothing? Oh. I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. Three, two, one. Alright, let's go over here for Hunter. And now let's hit left ramp. Start the mission just because I got it on the left flipper. Not good. Oh my gosh. We lit our extra ball but did not actually get it. Fine. This is a great last game. You guys, thank you so much for hanging out tonight. We found a... I would say we didn't find it. We confirmed a very interesting hack that Escher brought up and was able to achieve it several times despite the fact that I am, and I'm quoting here, an old man who did not press the button fast enough. So if you press it really, really fast, not just fast, but really, really fast, you can achieve the question mark as though you accidentally got the question mark. So it's a lot less random, and there's a lot of big things you can get. Some of them are being awarding Hunter, awarding 6X, awarding an extra ball, and more often than not, hopefully Dank Beric multiball. You guys have a great night. Let's go find someone to raid, and I will be back on tomorrow. Who knows? Tomorrow could be Walking Dead or Lord of the Rings. I'm looking forward to it in both cases. You guys have a good one. Oh, someone just started July 4th-ing here. They must have been hoarding for a while for that. That's interesting. You guys have a good night. I hope you have a safe holiday, I guess, regardless of wherever you are. The 4th will be a really good opportunity for limbs to be blown off. no matter where you're at apparently. So have a good one, y'all. Fear not, for you are found. You are home and there is no going back. No one leaves this place. But what is this place? The answer is the Pinball Network. Surrounded by cosmic gateways, TPN is on the edge of the known and unknown. It is the collection point for all lost and unloved things, like you. But here on TPN, you are significant. You are valuable. Here, you are loved. Where once you were nothing, now you are something. You are the property of the Pinball Network. Congratulations. You will meet the Pinball Network. seconds.
