TL;DR

IE Pinball streams Led Zeppelin gameplay pursuing achievements with technical machine observations.

Summary

IE Pinball streams gameplay of Stern's Led Zeppelin pinball machine, pursuing specific achievements including World Tour Victory Laps and accumulating 1,000 gold records. The stream features extended gameplay commentary mixed with technical observations about machine condition (right orbit scoop geometry issues, flipper wear), discussion of game rules and mode strategy, and casual banter with stream chat. The player demonstrates intermediate-to-advanced skill and discusses code update potential and operator concerns.

Key Claims

  • Led Zeppelin's right orbit scoop has geometry issues causing balls to hit the top of the ball guide before reaching the scoop, disrupting trajectory

    high confidence · Host describes custom fix using washers wedged between rubber and backboard to push guide forward; cites 'Raid 8 Discord' with picture evidence

  • Flipper wear/fade has developed on Led Zeppelin during recent streaming sessions

    medium confidence · Host notes noticing flipper fade over 'the last two streams, this one and the previous one' and questions if there are plans for flipper replacement or Insider Connected reader availability

  • A potential Insider Connected app reader device costs approximately $200 at introductory pricing

    medium confidence · Host speculates '200 bucks for, you know, a reader' and suggests it may be introductory pricing: 'I think the $200 is an introductory price, I have a feeling'

  • Pro edition machines may lack apron components that Premium editions include

    low confidence · Host questions: 'you don't get an apron with the Premium Edition, but you get it with the Pro' and asks if Pro games are being subsidized by Premium purchases

  • Achievement system on Led Zeppelin is internet-connected and can be updated via code patches

    medium confidence · Host notes 'it seems like it requires a code update on the game but with it being internet connected, it should be that simple to add stuff'

  • Halloween pinball received a recent code update (timing unclear from context)

    medium confidence · Host briefly mentions 'Halloween just came out with a... Halloween just came out with a code update' before self-correcting mid-stream

  • The Wizard mode in Led Zeppelin is engaging and rewarding, described as 'the best' gameplay experience

    medium confidence · Host states 'I really, really, really like that The Wizard mode' and 'That's probably the best I've done in this game'

  • Led Zeppelin's scoop accuracy has degraded significantly during streaming sessions

Notable Quotes

  • “I really thought I had that, you know, like 90% fixed. Come on, Tebow. Three in a row. My little fix is not working anymore.”

    IE Pinball (host)@ 41:19 — Demonstrates frustration with partial fix efficacy and suggests ongoing geometry/mechanical issues with right orbit despite attempted repairs

  • “I will just keep stealing my Godzilla one for a while.”

    IE Pinball (host)@ 20:44 — Indicates host is borrowing a flipper reader from a Godzilla machine rather than purchasing one; suggests cost-consciousness among collectors/streamers

  • “The more I play this game, the more I'm feeling the flippers have some faith. I never noticed it before, but the last two streams, this one and the previous one, I do notice they're fading a bit.”

    IE Pinball (host)@ 20:02 — Raises potential reliability concern about Led Zeppelin flipper performance; unclear if machine-specific or broader issue

  • “I feel like I'm going to be cheating the game today because I'm not... I'm not going for score.”

    IE Pinball (host)@ 2:44 — Reflects achievement-focused rather than score-focused gameplay approach, common among modern pinball streamers

  • “Does it feel like the Pro games are being subsidized by Premium Edition purchases for this? Because you don't get an apron with the Premium Edition, but you get it with the Pro. Am I crazy?”

    IE Pinball (host)@ 22:51 — Raises potential product strategy question about component differences between edition tiers; may reflect emerging market tension

World Tour is getting to all the tours, right? Except this. What is it? Why am I blanking out here? It's getting to the end of it. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, that's a long haul to get there. Sorry, I went to 16. You know, I'm going to restart. Yeah, we're going to restart. Because that was only one song I made it through. Not that much. Not that much progress. We got the achievement. It doesn't matter. I don't even know if there's certain songs I should play. I'll just go from the bottom to the bottom. So we want to focus on tours. I don't want that one. That's the one I need. I can't remember the advanced numbers, or, you know, what they end up being on the higher tiers. because some are easier to complete than others, or to get lit. I want my ball safe. I want my ball safe. Nope, nope, no ball. One. There's one again. There's two. There's one. I don't need that. I want tours. Oh, boy. Going to be one of those days, huh? I didn't think that. Five orbs. Oh, my goodness. Are you kidding me? I'm not paying too much attention to the song. This is another one of those cases where I'm not really... I feel like I'm going to be cheating the game today because I'm not... I'm not going for score. Alright, I've got my tour list. Take it. Even though I have... I have to do this. It's sitting right there. So it'll be lit when I come out of this. Come on. See if I can get it. Too many. Most people think one is like a four-way combo. I mean, I still need to work on records because of the 500 gold record. That's what I was thinking about. And that's it. All right, Ram. I'm going to get my next turn running before I start the electric method. 500, yeah, I need 1,000 now. Happy New Year, second place Andy. No, I don't want that. I'm going to need, yeah, that last one's going to be fun. Good for a multiball hitting all the targets. Give me the ball. I want to get an electric magic. I want to start that. All right. 500 more. Eject for electric magic. Eject for electric magic. All right. Got it. This could be good value. Don't auto-plunge into the back. Electric magic. I don't want this. I want my 40X. Never mind. Oh, it's not 40X now. It's not 40X. Could have been. Oh, what could have been? I should have taken the plunge into the back. Which drum sample do they use for bass boost and spinnets out? I saw that say for a moment there is zero X. Is that a possibility? It's not, I assume. You get one X no matter what, right? Let's see if we can save those dead balls. Oh, that's bad. Hey, kid. How you doing? Halloween just came out with a... Damn it, I'm not going to talk about the game. Shut up. But they just came out with a code update. What are you talking about? Damn it. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. I need three more Led Zepp targets. We can... We can risk it, yeah. Oh, that's not good. that's really not good get out of there one more Did I get five? I didn't, did I? There we go. All right, next tour. Hey, freebie. Freebie. I'm not on my... I'm going to kill my people, not my Titan map. Move that thing over. Okay. I'm playing too much Godzilla lately. All right. We just want records here. Next to both. Ah! Ah! Alright. I'm going to make this easier. It's not like the last stream where I was focused in on that mode. Codepe, we ended in either way to drop the machine. I'm sure we're going to have to play it as a lead move. Someone always picks it every time. Every time. That was a good run on the solo I feel. Or even my Titan. You know, I used to put it, like, in portrait, if that makes sense. But now I do it, I just do it horizontally. I don't care. It just saves my feet. I swear. After, I don't know how Carlos does it, you know, streams for all night long. My feet would just kill me by that time. Even with the mask. I'm not going to take that at all. Probably should have. Two more drops go on tour. Bonus X increased. No, no, no. I want the right ramp so I can light my turrets. Yeah, and I did geek maps for the win, exactly. The Titan was just so good. Speaking of grind, 4 million in the laser queue was net. Hey, Chrome Candy, how are you doing? Sorry, the T up there. We're going to try Zeppelin for this. I thought you got what is arguably Stern's best DMV. I mean I say arguably. Nice pickup. This is a horrible solo. They're horrible so well. I will use the add-on on this. When I need it. Alright, where am I here? Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. Gotta figure out how to play Laser Q. Z-Mac, it's not, well, I don't think it's too difficult. It's a matter of do you want to risk building your multiplier before you get your cards down? Or do you just want to go straight for racks and get your pool balls? Not cards, pool balls. And it's Jim's game, so Jim, there will be no little divider between the two flippers. So you can scissor yourself. be ready for that, because that's not, that's not stock, wait, I don't know if I really want to do that or not, I must be, I must have all my tour items completed, right? I must. Because there's nothing flashing at me that I see directly. Oh, that's a zip jackpot. I'm not going to care about points right now. Get through record. Get through. I always need more records because I need 1,000 now. Oh. Sure. And yeah, you can save that flipper, yeah. Yeah, don't play it like Alien Pucker, Jack. Oh, damn. Okay. That's fine. Another extra. All right. Right in the tour. Or, no, I should change the spot. You rejected me. And you're stuck on the scoop. On the one-way gate. That's a two. Oh, I'm not playing with the car. Oh, am I? That right orbit, I have fixed the right orbit mostly. Mostly. it is it is worlds better than it used to be I will say that and I did it by adding some washers I sent on Raid 8 Discord there's a picture of it on the in the Led Zeppelin channel take a look it's two washers wedged in between like the rubber and the backboard to push the guy forward so because what happens is the ball flies you know you shoot the orbit it flies and it hits the top of the ball guide before the scoop, which then makes it, you know, lose the proper trajectory to the boards of scoop. It just needed to be bent slightly, but there was no way to bend it, so I just wedged some stuff to bend it manually, or, yeah, like, temporarily bend it. Push it. I don't know how to say that. But you get the idea. The only chance in peace. Mortifier ready. Something. Time to just replace the music now with this new child. So I'm curious, why Destiny's Child? Why that over everything else? Just curious. Evening, Jared. How are you doing? I am glad that you are coming to Indus. I'm glad you got your purchase just in time. That was good. All right. First thing that pops in your head is that you do the pound. Damn it. No. No, you suck. Ah, you're back. It's fine. All right. And your back. Come on, make the shot. No. No, good. Made it. Bye-bye tour. All right. So now we need more right ramps for like the next, the final tour. That's not the right one. No, I can't, the more I play this game, the more I'm feeling the flippers have some faith. I never noticed it before, but the last two streams, this one and the previous one, I do notice they're fading a bit. Do we know if there are plans for an insider connected app? I thought I heard there was. I could be wrong, but I thought there was. We first need to all get readers. Although, I don't know if I want to pay 200 bucks for, you know, a reader. Yeah. I will just keep stealing my Godzilla one for a while. Right? Right ramp. There it is. Yes, I'm trying. Buy one, swap one. Yeah, that's exactly right. I don't hear that. Well, you know, I enjoy this, but I didn't need to be in it. I wanted to play my... I got robbed! I was just robbed of that side ramp. The plunge, I guess some of these... I don't know how. But they plunged into the side ramp. Robbed. I can't even imagine how that really happened. Because there's no possibility of this one doing it. So that switch is disabled. During plunges. I have not used my. Play for multiplier yet. I haven't. Why did I say anything and it's all dead. That's all dead. Cursed myself. As always. As always. Should have made that a setting. Well, 200, what's that? Oh, sorry. I missed some stuff here. 120 max when they set it. Yeah, and I think the $200 is an introductory price, I have a feeling. But to me, okay, you tell me, does it feel like pro games are being subsidized by premium purchases for this? Because you don't get an apron with the premium, but you get it with the pro. Am I crazy? Oh, and it's definitely going to be useful for operators. But not quite. 5. It certainly isn't 5. Oh, yeah. Left ramps, I need one more. I need 7 Icarus targets. I need to pop them first. 7 Icarus targets. That just seems dangerous. Get the pop-up from out of the way. Oh. Oh. Oh, boy. That was almost great. Let's end with that. All right, let's get into pop-up first. Five targets, seven Icarus targets. There's one. Do I get double counts here? Is it counting Icarus? And the regular targets? No. So, Acre is not equal to a target. Got it. And where's my record now? Okay, my final record. Up. Might fix it. I want to make sure I've done five in all these. Okay, good. We'll just keep moving on here. I hope we should have a frenzy coming up soon. Bonus multiplier increased. One target, two Icarus. Sorry, there's one Icarus. Oh, damn. Trying to light my ball safe. All right, Icarus is done. Two locks are done. Here we go. Do it. All right. My last of the five ball achievements. And then I'm thinking that final achievement, I'm probably not going to stream all the games for at least a thousand records, just, it's just a... Or maybe I will. Get all achievements on stream. I don't know. I don't know. Or I could hold off on it and not do it right away. I used that button way too many times in there. Ah, panic. What was that? Okay. My X is not that big, is it? 4.4, okay. What was that? Okay. My X is not that big, is it? 4.4, okay. Right. Can I get that? I was stunned when I got that achievement for that, the 16X, because I didn't think there was a chance I was going to get that. All right, let's play World Tour and see if I can get through it. Just have a grind stream where we rant about machines and talk about this machine. Yeah. I don't know, but I've been told. Yeah, I'm with you, Skip. Yeah some more oddball achievements would be nice I hoping they can expand over time I know it requires it seems like it requires a code update on the game but with it being internet connected, it should be that simple to add stuff, right? I wasted my, I know, I know, I panicked and I hit the button way too many times. Sign and discern. Okay, okay, okay, I actually have to do this. Yeah, I wasted my add-a-ball, couldn't I? Totally, totally wasted that. I'm going to pay for it here, aren't I? Alright. I want the side ramp if I can, because that doubles the miles. Ah, I thought I had it done. This is where I need victory laps. I need to get through this. And I've never done that. I haven't. Long, long road. I feel myself talking under my breath, like, ball pitch on, this guy, this guy, bing bing, I think it's like eight, seems to be where my, like, my, my cap, oh, that's an extra ball opening, well, you know what could be possible, it's getting this the second time, if what Raiders says is true and it holds your progress for a second time around. Oh, that was horrible. Horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible. Horrible. Damn it. All right. Yuck. All right. I still have to get to the top of the charts. try it we'll try a bagging background of that just a long long road or say the sidearm for the hardest city trying to get an Adabalt resets the Mile Moth player. Uh, yes. Target links are also sitting on the box. Two more. This is a very long road, isn't it? Well, I'm not going anywhere. I'm stomp ball one I have two extra balls to make that thing. I can't help but shoot at that. Oh, that didn't work that time. Oh, and that came much faster than I was expecting. Why have none of, uh, streamed, I don't, Resident Evil 4 is only on Oculus. However, however, the Resident Evil 2 and 3 mod just came out today for the, uh, for the remakes for VR, which, and I popped into it really quickly, and it looks damn good. So. I'm very much looking forward to playing that. I've been spending my free time screaming. Alright, I want to get this one out of the way, the damn pop-up. The pop-up looks out of the target. I feel, I hold dear. I'll give it a go in days of hope and magic will be here. Sure, that's free. Alright, move on. Not working on Platinums even though... I wonder if it's a dumb thing not to or why. Alright, I need targets though. Targets. What am I missing for my frenzy? It must be the LED targets, right? Oh, you don't. Yes, you do. Yes, you do. Oh. That's a little lit. Okay. All right. Ah, I got tour lit now. Probably should have saved this until I played the tour. Come on, I want you to hit the spinner. I like points of this mode. Not that one, but the other one. What's my multiplier? 4x? Okay. Damn it. There we go. That's a better bet. Oh, I got robbed of a bet. Come on. Keep going. Keep going. Oh, I thought I could make it not stop. That was a good stop. Oh, damn. I forgot I had a ball lock there. That's funny. That's actually really funny. Fast for the onside. X increase. Touched by Bolero. How are you doing? Thanks for the sub. How was your driving today? For those that don't know, Mike Bolero, he drove a rose parade float today. How cool How cool is that? How cool is that? Dumb question, how do you get the middle platform things to break up? You have to spell Led Zepp. I think it's two times? One time for the first one, two times for the second one, or two and three, something like that. And that'll do it. Yeah, honestly, it's another thing that just kind of comes over time. I don't specifically go for it because I'm not going to shoot those damn targets. targets. I said damn targets, but I don't feel like trying to lose the ball is shooting the target. Almost like absolutely must. Driving is super satisfying. No issues. No mistakes. Awesome driving. driving floats back tomorrow at 3pm if you want to ride on a float and how fast did these floats go it's like what's the top speed 5 miles per hour or is it more than that it sure does look slow when I pop into your little stream you're running or you know it's just a moment I can't get the combo going for no good reason. Oh, combo died. Oh, I got some multipliers, alright. Oh, I'm at four again. 1.5 or 8... 7 windows is like, I'm sorry, sorry. Dammit, did I hit my... no I didn't. Did I do it there? Nope. bonus multiplier so the side ramp shot also increases the amount of time for the multiplier you know that one that just started right there and this should still be good value overall Come back. We're going to have no points here with that multiplayer. Alright, what's that? 3x, nice! Okay. I'm at 66. Nice. You get a really aggressive THP F430 first, but you average 4.5 to 6.5. I honestly don't know if I'd have the patience to do something like that. I mean, I marched the parade twice, and that was... That was hell as it was. I don't know why I did it a second time. I really don't know why I did it a second time. I'd like to work with myself, maybe. Uh, Trumpet. Oh, I'm going to lose my... Hit me. I can't shoot this dude right now. Bye-bye, points. You're gone. Graze, period? Graze? It's not massive, but it's points. Oh. They had Zeppelin at 8. Wait, what? Why would they have it? Why would they do that? Alright. Oh, I got robbed there. That was the wonderful issue that the scoop has. Or the geometry has up there. Top of the charts, come on. Oh, that's twice. Okay, so I've got to look at that again. I really thought I had that, you know, like 90% fixed. Come on, Tebow. Three in a row. My little fix is not working anymore. That was almost really bad. There we go. Zero Platinums. Oh, I got one. One. One. I fixed it, Jake. Exactly. Exactly. But this should give me... I think I needed this achievement, right? Or was it something else I'm thinking of? Yeah. Now the question... Yeah, because I didn't play top of the charts because I went straight to... I went straight to Quintrum. So now I need to actually finish this. Well, if I want to finish that. Wait a second. Come on. I need the scoop on the left. That one that I'm missing. Oh, my gosh. Increased bonus multiplier. Goodbye, Ball Save. There that is. Darn it. Add a ball. Oh. Yeah, that... Ooh, my multiplier. I see a blue. What do I have? 4.7. I need to get the other stuff out. Like, I haven't seen a blue in a while. I'd love to save that for the end of a question mark. I know I'm calling you a question mark. Come on, get in there. Oh boy. Damn it. I've activated the playbook multiple times. There it is. You're coming back, Paul. You're coming back. You are too. Question mark, question mark, question mark. You know, that's the, uh... Get out of here. Go back in your hole. Oh, you didn't go back. Get in your hole. Cotton Candy. Oh, my, my, yeah, my blue. Blue, yeah, that makes sense. That makes sense. This is a long way through this mode since I didn't have any, uh, any Platinums. Or just one Platinum. You going to stop, Paul? Yeah, you're going to stop. My accuracy on that scoop has gone way, way down. Oh, my goodness, it's gone way down. All right. Excuse me. Is there a max multiplier? You mean like the playbill multiplier? Isn't it like 6,000 something something? 1,500. He's trying to shoot the stupid, though. Horrible on it. There it is. Oh, there you go. Thank you. Well that's not going to do anything, there's a ball there. Come on, shoot the scope, there you go. I just wanna ask, oh no, oh thank you left out lane ball save, I haven't had a ball in I want to see all blues. Oh, yeah, I wish. I wish. I don't know. Ever since it's code changed, I just can't get anything out of that. Anything really good. No more grinding it out. Hit the scoop! Take it. Get it out of the way. Go. Get in there. All right. I don't even know where in the rotation I am here. How much more I need. Oh, it's a little Rambalong, it looks like. Is that right? Is that what I see on the song list? Yeah. Yeah. Alright. It's still possible I can't get infinite bamboos? Just made the way to get bamboos. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, it's still possible. It's just frickin' impossible. Well, no, it's the way that it's... It's the way the bamboos, you know, complete the bank. That's the problem I have. Obviously. Yeah, Matt and Lil's got the same values, yeah. alright let's not play that because I didn't get there there it is alright that's fine what am I going for I'm going for all the achievements um which I'm pretty close now I need um world tour victory laps is really the big one that I haven't gotten yet um and then I need a thousand records that's probably not going to happen today and is that it I dare change the... Here, let's take a look at the video. This intro is fantastic. Come on, scroll up. Scroll up. You only want to scroll down. I got the 3x. I need victory laps. I got top of charts. That's it, right? And the gold. So I've got two left to go, I think. We'll go back there. Three left. Three left. This value is not going to be that great because I didn't really shoot for all platinums. Yeah, still ball one with extra balls. Right? Ooh, a 10.8 multiplier. If I could hold that off to the collect phase, I doubt I could. You can't keep achieving my ball one restart. Here's the blizzard mode with ball one. And you did that at ace, and that one's playing very difficult. So, Rob Oakley. Yeah, I never got the billion. Yeah, I got that 1.1 billion, but I never multiplied that. I should try to multiply it. Now I'm going to accidentally hit that Icarus target at some point. Can I have a button that just disables the Icarus target for a while? I haven't hit it yet. Oh, there it was. I hit it. It hit it. Yep, that's gone. Alright, let's keep this alive then. And... So wait, I have three achievements left. What's the third one? What am I thinking? It's a thousand gold. So I have three achievements. What's the third one? What am I thinking? It's a thousand gold. It's World Tour Victory Labs. And what's the third one? Crazy? Ah. All right. Nope. Alright, forget that shot right now. Let's just get another shot. Stop! Stop! Really? What's up with that? Shoot everything. Dang. Well that was a bad preparation. Uh oh. Stop it. Stop. Stop ball. Stop. Alright. 500 gold. 500 more gold records back in. So I've got to... I've got 500. I need a thousand. Anytime a game says Scoot everything you get extra points for outlaying the drain Sir thanks also Side ramp, side ramp. You gonna beat my flipper for the side ramp? Oh yes, got it. Big. That was big. Alright. Let's just do that. Alright. This is lasting a lot longer than the other day, which is kind of nice. Oh, I thought I hit the target. Alright, ball save, ball save, ball save. Up there. Yeah, I'm using that out of all. I tried trying for the ball, take a second. Boom. There that is. All right. Where you going, Paul? All right. This should be trying to build my Icarus. Oh, what was that? That sucks. All right. Oh no. Oh no. I don't have any luck with that side ramp right now. Alright. One collect. That was an interesting backhand. Unintended. Totally unintended. Alright. Nice, nice points there. Damn. Gotta make sure I keep that timer up. If I go for the R target, I could line a... I could line a multiplier, but it's risky. The multiple fire would be huge right now, don't drain me. Oh I'm going, I'm going. Alright. Oh I hit it didn't I? Oops. I didn't actually want to start it though. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, okay. Come on, let's get a big multiplier. Let's get a big, juicy multiplier. Alright, we're quick. Damn it, I missed. Oh boy! Was that multiplied? No. I lost it. Did it run out? Am I crazy? Yeah, it ran out. Damn. Getting all excited there. I'm excited. Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six. Time's going to run out here. I don't sit there. I got 12 seconds left. There we go. Oh, more points. Next ball. Next ball. All right. Ran out just barely. Yeah. That would have been a monster, right? Oh, free... Got that free right orbit there. That was nice. Oh, no. Okay. Okay. Time for seven. I'm not going for targets. Woo-hoo! Oh, could have lit the ball thing for me. No, no, no. Okay. All right. All right. Give me the ball. Give me the ball. Come on, come on, come on, come on. Come on the ball. Don't miss. Oh, it's gonna die, it's gonna die. Oh, it's dead. It's dead. And ball's dead too. that was one heck of a boost code alright so that puts us at at only needing two more I believe diamond bonus Damn. Damn. All right, I'm going to take a look at the achievement list here. Just do a, take a peek here. I'm going to refresh this. Yeah, I'm at 70 or 72. So, yeah, just World Tour and 1,000 gold records. And I've got 602 right now. Okay. All right. Keep going. We'll play it off. Oh, I shouldn't have gone back to rock and roll because it's not going to reset the song. All right. So tours are a priority here. Right, Ram? Man, that wizard. I really, really, really like that wizard mode. Thank you, Ram. Bonus multiplier. It's just so much fun. That's probably the best I've done in this game. Don't do it. That was the final wizard mode. Yes, Kev. That was it. Am I close to any multiballs? No. No. This seems like it's kind of... I don't know if it's the safest or not, but... It lines up with the spawn, basically, for the ramps at least. Oh, gosh. She's probably like Zeppelin multiple. I think I've only clicked two, right? That's a lot of target stuff. But I have the target team. I'm going to give that a nice nudge. I got lucky there. Nope, I didn't get lucky there. What am I talking about? Love of the shirt? Oh, thank you. before Wizard's hook gets nerfed, it's not getting nerfed, alright, let's go back to that, Ray's not going to nerf that, right Ray? I did targets anyway, so I might as well work towards the rock. Dangerous, though. So dangerous. Oh, I thought that ran. Merry New Year, C.A.K.! Merry New Year. Oh, this is only my second Zeppelin? Well, it's true. I thought it was. I thought I played one of them. Oh, that's a big double. Heck yeah. Wow, those balls did not want to stay in play. Alright, I need to hit a lot of targets I believe, no only one target bacon, I'm done, and I've got the tour leg, nice. Alright, ah, boom, like I said I can never build that thing up now. Alright, I'm going to go ahead and get the Oh, green. Jackpot. Nice. All right. Um... What are we doing here? What are we doing? We're going for song, I guess. off the song, the boss will get back the basket points. I mean these, you know, the points are huge, because it seems like it still carries over from the original, you know, from the first run through, so. Right, I'm not crazy, right? Yeah, seven million a shot, and... Didn't know that this was a one-ball game. Yep, so far. Oh, nice. Yeah. Well, it's got extras on, so. That's why I'm up there. Nice. Yeah, well. Bonus X increased. This is Jackpot. Here's the lesson. We're not getting that. Come on. No! That's annoying. Increased bonus multiplier. All right. Damn it. All right. Now I can make shots. Combo? Nope, lost my combo. Too much side to side there. Alright. Give me the upper flipper. Give me the feed. Give me the feed. Yeah! Only it was multiplied. Oh! Oh! What was that? Alright, let's play tour. I had a 20,000. I'm going to go with the 20,000. I'm going to go with the 20,000. I mean, how much was in the wizard mode? Was it 10 or 12? Somewhere around there, right? But that wizard mode was huge. Maybe it was more than that. I'll put my multiplier out here, I can't look up yet. It's running, so let's do something with it. Geez, they're all going away. Four and a half, man. Oh. Oh. 185. Nice. That was a good one. All right, come on. I want my balls in back. Ah, right sling, best friend. It was like 16? Okay, all right. Damn it. Alright, we'll keep this one going. Keep it going. Should have been decent, right? Yeah. Getting my records in for sure. Hey, what happened to my stage there? Oh, I missed that. Damn it. There we go. We might have to grind those 500 records this fall. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. bonus X increase oh what was that I almost killed that try to nudge off the wall but that idea there no that was good ah I thought that was going up the right for sure bonus multiplier increase bonus multiplier activate Oh boy. Oh boy. Got something going here. Oh, my timer's running out on that thing. No! Oh! I think that would have been a pretty damn good super in there. I made it. Hey, Mid-Prodigy, welcome. I think this looks so easy. You know, this game, when it flows, it just It flows for me I'm going to jinx myself by saying that, aren't I? Totally am Alright, that was a good tour. That was one hell of a tour. 917, whoo! I'm in the middle of a never ending game. Oh, I'm not going to say that, because I want to get that, uh, still miss that one achievement for the, uh, for the tours. Victory laps on the world tour. So that's the goal right now. Three more to like. uh... No we're going to stay on this just because I haven't flattened them yet. That just drops really 20 billion? It's a massive! Alright. Who is lit? Uh, what do we want? Six orbits, six ejections, both center ramps, three side ramps? Uh, what's going to be harder? Um, this one's going to be harder because I need more Led Zepp. Eight combos? Eight, yeah. Let's just get him. Tell Led Zepp, hit the right ramp, and make combos. A lot of, uh, a lot of requirements there. Uh oh, that's trouble, that's trouble! 25 million points a shot? Jeez! Or at least that one was. I don't know. There's the blind, I'm right? Oh no, no, don't drain that way. Combos are done. Isn't that Zepp's going to be the trouble problem? There's a spinner. There's a spinner. Alright, I can change it. No, let's keep in here for the value, right? Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh. That one's triple. Bonus multiplier increased. Uh-oh. all right and unfortunately I'm not gonna go for a Zeppelin multiball oh this is gonna give me a little bit it didn't even hit a target damn it all right let me get the ball safely let me I don't want to shoot those targets but I have to. I have to, don't I? It's only five. Only. Yeah. See what happens? Oh, gosh. Maybe I can do the ricochet into it from the side. Shoot the spinner. Ricochet into it with the slipper. Like that. Yeah. Oh, no, don't do that. Nope, last time I do that. That's it. Alright, more targets there. Good. What do I need? Two more. One. And now I can hit the drops again. Don't do it. Alright. There we go. Here's the tour. Oh, my goodness. Whew. My accuracy is filthy crap on that. Oh, boy. Okay. I got to play this, right? Nine million. Uh, nine. No. No. No, one time. No, couldn't one time it. No, don't do that. Where are you going? all right all right here's the seventh tour of the game or unless you count the world tour as one then it's eight oh TERRI she I sorry Come on two shots Oh, I could have saved that. I hit the button instead. I don't know. No, that's dead. Okay. All right. Take a break. Have I ever 10K Doodlebug before? No, I haven't. I haven't gotten to play enough Doodlebug to see it. I don't know if I want to be shooting that ramp anymore. But it's a solo. That's five record. No, I don't think I want to keep that anymore. Just seems dangerous right now. Like the flippers don't have as much power as they used to. Good next tour lit. Really what we're shooting for. Thank you for not making it more than four shots to the right ramp to relight that. No, no, no, no, okay, I kept my combo going. That cast it in. That's dead. Alright. Oh, I'm still in my lane. How was my stream last night? I didn't get to watch anything last night. We just kind of took it easy here at home and watched some stuff on TV and played some games. We were actually playing Powerfall on the Switch for a good amount of time. Which was just so much fun, that game. I need a Fisher-Grapeson game with 30-minute songs. I sold three billion records. All right. Part of me wants to plan everything. I'm not going to do it. I'm not. No, I want to get the tour. Focus on the tour, and then anything else that comes after that, we'll take. Really? Losing the... I have a ball lock. Damn it. Alright. Let's take the... Yeah, let's take the Zeppelin lock and hit this. Alright. Start the tour Final tour Six orbits Six ejects Twelve sin ramps Three side Three side ramps Could be worse It could be worse It could be worse There's one That tried to fly off the ramp too Uh oh Uh oh Uh oh Did I win the the danger zone on that right side. Alright. Oh, no. Oh, no. Okay. Save. Save. All right. Come on. Side ramps. Lots of side ramps. That's the side out lane. Uh-oh. Ball take. Ball take. Uh, I only have two records in there. What? All right, side ramp. Oh, boy. That was close. That was close. New achievement gets you world tourist. Oh, that's what I have to do. Oh. Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay. Ah, freebie. Oh, that's not an eject. Eject. Oh, dang, this is horrible. There we go. All right, seven, that's not too bad. You're welcome. Oh, oh, oh you did go there, you did, there. Alright, we're just going to take it. Alright, I still want side ramps, I need the side ramps because they're the hardest thing out of these set of goals I need right now. Really? I don't have anything there. That's right. Wow, that sucked. That was a lot. Describe that spinner shot. Alright, one more side rest, David. One eject. We're looking pretty good here. Just got to get that side ramp. There's the eject. Oh, that's not the eject. That's the reject. Then a lot of center ramps. Cycle! That's dead. That's not dead. Wow. God, the ball is not... the maze is not dying on this maze. Sonus multiplier increased. Get it! Alright, there's the eject. Instead of ramps, or send ramps, one side ramp. Make sure to save a button for World Tour. Yeah, I'm not going to hit the buttons anymore, I'd say. How about that? Because I can't remember how many I have left on the side. Oh, I've got Super Pop-Up again. I'm not going to exit out. Go to the right. Oh. Uh-oh. Ramp is for safety. Orbit. Get up there. Oh, that gave it to me. It didn't make the ramp, but it gave it. All right. All right. Now, I'm out of my ball state here, but I only need one set of ramps. Let's take that. Ski pass. Let's try and scoop the scoop for tour. All right. All right. This is what that Venmo looks like when you make a deal with it, though. That is hilarious. All right. Ball saves back. All right. In order, right? Trying to remember this. No, something else, isn't it? Oh. Oh, boy. Oh. All right. right, Cinderamp adds Jackpots right, right, okay, I read the screen oh, you're Magizized, huh? I've seen Mr. Blinky over there. Oh, soup. Holy crap. Come on, ball. Get out of there. That ball sucked. All right. More super bobs. Where you going? Where you going? You're dying, huh? I just tried to fetch that. Kind of missed that. All right. Oh, what am I doing? Get in the scoop. World tour. I don't really post fast that often on there. We've got another Zeppelin left, huh? There we go. Yeah, that's block three for Zeppelin. All right. All right, that was a carry progress. We're going to find out. Inti hits, I'm not much of a live music person. I'm more of a go-to musical for something like that and orchestra rather than dance. I'm taking a break here. I'm letting it go through. I'm not canceling this out. It does carry over. Okay. Okay. Which means I will not get it, and it will be a complete disaster. Right? I'm not shooting any shots. I'm hitting targets, I guess. That's good. I can't see my progress at all. I can't look up. Alright, I haven't had a ball on the button, thankfully. Which is simply just drained all but two. All but three, I mean. Damn it. I'm almost free. Tokyo Jackpot. Oh, my ball pit's not lit. I just realized. Still not lit. Come on. Can I shoot things? There we go. Things. Anything. There's that ball. Just in the nick of time, too. Wow. Stop there! Oh my gosh. Well, that was pretty dumb to try for, but I still did it. Alright, that's my last chance right there. Why can't I? Come on. I can do this. I don't have to play a third world tour. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, jeez, no. What was I doing wrong? I was doing something wrong. Wild Art Arcade. Thanks for the raid. Oh, my gosh. I didn't make it. Oh. How? Unbelievable. World Tour number three coming in. Yeah, I've got two balls to get back to it. Oh. Oh, my gosh. I had the multiplier and everything. I was going to do... How'd it go? Damn. Oh, my gosh. All right. So, can I get through four more tours and get back to there? I don't know. I will try I don't know if I can but we'll try Oh, that wasn't good. That was a bad idea, too. Bounce, bounce, bounce. All right. Into the scoop. No, no, no, no. Okay, that's fine, that's fine, that's fine. Once I'm in World Tour, I've got my Zeppelin multiball that I can start. All right. Oh, my goodness. what are these things going to be now? Which one has the side ramp? Because I want to take that one right now. Which one was the last one I played last time? Does anybody remember? Yeah, I kind of remember. I know. I'm so used to not cradling in this game, and I probably should have cradled up and took it slowly. You are totally right, Esher. dead. Does anyone remember which tour my last tour was? Because I don't. The one with Orbitz. The one with Orbitz. That one. Fourteenth in a ramp. Because that way I don't have to shoot side ramps then, right? Oh, gosh. All right. Well, thanks. All right. Here's a I thought that was my multiball. Damn it. I really thought I had multiball with me. Hey, and I don't get another mothership multiball, huh? You only get one per game? Or am I not far enough? Far enough. Yeah, I should have it. The 12 is going to ramp the AI now. What? Oh, boy. That was close. 20 Zeppelin ran so far, huh? Oh, God. Oh, boy. Okay. All right. We're okay. We're okay. We're okay. Oh, no. Oh boy. Oh boy. Doesn't need side ramps. It side ramps anyway. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's how we roll here. Because otherwise that speed is pretty nasty for me. That's a warning. I need 7 ejects, huh? 7 ejects. Oh. Seven rejects. All right, well, Cinderamps are getting close to being done. This. Oh, you rejected, like I said, huh? Oh, boy. That was dangerous. It's been around for done. Song is lit, huh? Oh, boy. That was all me. I found a bug. I found a bug. I found a bug. All right. I'm just going to do ramble on, and we're going to see if we can run through this again. I got a blue. I got a cotton candy, you called it, right? Um, this is not good. Not looking good here. I'm getting tired, too. I'm pretty damn tired. Really, I should go for this. I should take the pot shot at the C. to get my Zeppelin. Let me do that. Although, no, I should save that, because I'm so close to this one. What do I need? Two Orbits, six Ejects. No. Okay, let's do that. What would that be? All right, I'm going to try this. All right, how'd that work? Game slowed down, huh? Save the Zeppelin for the next tour, if I can get there. Being optimistic here. Damn it. Oh, that was... I almost killed myself there. Go with the scoop. It ain't going... Oh, no. You used my great, massive... Ten-pointer there. 14 that. Damn, I lost that. All right. That's a long game. Can I get 14 next bonus for draining like that? Oh, man. I can't believe I didn't finish Wolf's Burr. I need to... You know, I'm so used to, in my head, that I cradle up and things drop from death to growth. And I have to remember that's not the case. That's not the case here. and I just need to take my time. That's still one hell of a game. Almost made it to the second top of the charts. I should have. I should have kind of focused. No, I would have, could have, should have, right? What time roughly did this game begin? I don't know. Oh, boy. Do I have a resolution? No, I have no resolutions for 2022. I wasn't willing to make any. $14.9 billion on that. Wow. 20 side ramps. 181 gold records. That got my achievement count up a bit. Let's see. How many records do I have now? I've got to refresh this. Let's see if it times out. Yeah, it times out. Never mind. You're not going to get to see. I'll go look at my phone. It times out really quickly on the website. I'd like it to last longer. I can't play anymore tonight. I am just beat right now. I am just exhausted. Welcome Raiders. Raiders. We had more Raids? Did I miss someone? I saw Wild Dog. Thank you for coming in. Oh, man. Okay. How many records do I have now? I have 679. Okay. So, while I'm trying for a world tour for that Victory Lapse, I'll probably get those. That is my guess. I wish I were this game was over. Hey, Chris, you're coming in at the end. Unless you're here all the time. All right. Like I said, I am beat. I'm going to send you over to someone. I will be streaming again tomorrow. And since this went so well, I'll probably stream this and try and get the world tour again. I want to finish this so that I can shift my games around and put the connect, you know, my Godzilla connected on Avengers or Jurassic Park. At least that's the plan. apparently I'm not sending you anywhere because no one else is playing actual pinball right now well with that said I hope you all had a happy new year hope 2022 is better for everyone and take care and I'll see you tomorrow maybe otherwise have a good week first day back at work for me on Monday, which is going to suck, but it is what it is. Alright. Take care, everyone. Good night.
