you

Thank you. Good Monday night. The day has begun. I heard a little twizzle, a circle of little balls of wood. The creek was full of macrame, and I dreamed. Ten, seven, eight, they were telling the truth. I broke the cow, I know it's just a thin fly. Good Monday night, pinball's coming on tonight.
13:57
Are you ready for some pinball? A Monday night party Yeah I hope I don't get too high Don't be gone I know it's all wrong I don't want to be back All my friends are here for Monday night
14:30
What's going on, Pinball Land? Welcome to Studio C as we stream Monday Night Pinball tonight. To my right, Ryan White, Vice President of Sales at Chicago Game Company. To his right, Mr. Steve Beattie. We've got a special treat for you tonight as we have the first opportunity to stream what some are saying is the holy grail of remakes, and that is the Medieval Madness Royal Edition. Yeah, we kind of did a little extra on this one. A little bit. It's a star edge. It's pretty impressive. So what we're going to do tonight, guys, is we're going to break into this machine a little bit and obviously play the game. We are going to have Ryan here. That will be able to answer any questions that you may have involving the game. If you want to learn how to order a game, you can absolutely do so. You can call Zach at Flippin' Out Pinball, 847-778-4876. and get on the list today. Steve, how are you tonight, though? I'm great, man. It's good to have this guy back for two times. I told you I'd be back. You did a good time. You did. Always a good time with Ryan. He's coming in, man. But now we're in Studio C. Studio C is a little different. It's still a little bit under construction. Now, last time you were here, you were in our original studio, so it's a little different dynamic up here. That's okay. It's a nice dynamic. I like it, man. Thank you. It's even better now that you're here, man. Thank you. Well, we got warm white lights here. We're good. Well, we don't have warm white lights. That's a point of contention with Mr. BD. Thank you, everybody else, for coming in. I saw Zachary, who's our Dwight Sullivan. Thanks for subscribing with your Twitch Prime account. Pretty awesome. I appreciate it, man. Seeing everybody in chat here tonight. I see Lucas in chat. I see Mr. Franchi. I see Brian in chat.

high confidence · Ryan: 'The nice thing about the wider screen is that...everything graphically has been redone at a higher resolution...when we expand it out into that extra large display, it's just amazing'

  • “We did the LE-1000 games sold out within minutes...then we did another 1000 standard edition Medieval Madness...that was a few years ago”

    Everybody's here and ready to rock and roll. Zach is here from Flippin' Up Pinball. Ready to go. Good times, guys. So before we get going tonight, did you want to just briefly kind of let everybody know exactly what it is that we're – thank you for the follow, Rammel99 – exactly what it is that we're streaming tonight? Because we have the Medieval Madness remakes that we've seen come out years ago, and then there was a smaller run of Medieval Madness remakes, but this is kind of special within its own right. Well, what we did is we started with the original Medieval Madness remake. The LE-1000 games sold out within minutes. Right. Okay. Well, then we did another 1000 standard edition Medieval Madness. That was a few years ago. Well, we looked at Medieval Madness compared to Attack from Mars and Monster Bash, and it looked a little dated. So we decided to update it to today's standards of what we're producing out there and what we can do with a pinball machine. Yeah. Not leaving behind our original owners because the key behind it was selling the RGB lighting, was selling the kits, was selling the extra large display that everyone's been asking us for years. Sure. But we also knew that some people would want everything pre-built from the factory. Right, right. So that's when we came up with the idea of part of this Medieval Madness run, which is 500 pieces. We're going to do it all together, do the best we could ever do with Medieval Madness. and that's where we came up with the Royal Edition. And you're going to see that Royal Edition as you see it on your screen right now. I'm going to reposition that camera slightly. It looks like we're a little bit to the left. But beautiful game. You've got some pretty special trim on there. You've got that widescreen display. You've got one of the most unbelievable toppers that I've seen in a long time. In fact, Chris Franchi, who's in chat, had a little bit to do with some of the artwork on that topper. Yeah, he did the artwork for the back panel on this one. And it is beautiful. It is beautiful. It's a beautiful game. Are there still games available at this Royal Edition, or at this point are customers struggling to try to find the middle tier? I would say right now if you want one, the best thing you can do is find a dealer. Okay. Their dealers might have some left. And that would be Zach at Pippin Out Pinball, 847-778-4876. I don't know, Zach, do you have any of these left? Can we order these? Because to your point, what you were saying is you didn't want to leave these guys that had already gone all in on their prior LEs in the dust, so to speak, but they have the opportunity to upgrade these machines at the same cost, if not a little less, than those that are going in new with the Royal Edition? So basically, if you own a Medieval Madness or you own a Medieval Madness remake LE, you can buy the kits to do the topper. You can buy the kits to do the extra large display panel. You can buy the kits to do the RGB. Install it yourself. Have a dealer, have a technician do it. And you can build your own Royal Edition, basically. It's pretty awesome. And it's just about the same cost. That's impressive. That's awesome, man. So you didn't get penalized for going in early. No. And that was the whole point of it is we wanted to do something different in pinball. Right. And that was if you weren't early, you still get the benefit of everything we're doing. For sure. Tonight, for streaming purposes, this game is being streamed and illuminated by Pins Stadium X Stream Kit, the professional streamers, streaming kit. The lights are mounted outside of the glass, giving a little illumination to the play field. and to the player cam. And then also, we are being sponsored tonight by PinQuest and PinQuest.com. We have some PinQuest of the week that we're going to go over real quick before we get started.
    19:51
    This is an all or nothing challenge tonight, gentlemen. This is how it works. All or nothing. Each of us at some point tonight have to put up a 20 million point score. That's 21 million. 21 million point score. It does not have to be at the same game. We don't have to be playing at the same time. But if each one of us attain a 21 million point score, the donation of 2,500 bits will come in from PinQuest and PinQuest.com. So that's good.
    20:14
    Let's start a three-player game. Let's do it. And then let's just get going with chat. We'll just answer some questions. What's up, jobbers here? Christopher. And we'll just see where the night takes us tonight. You're going to be able to stick around for a little bit for after hours, maybe a little phone-in segment, call-ins? Of course. All right. I want to talk to everyone here. Outstanding. Let's just go in the order in which we're sitting. That always helps. And then we'll knock this out of the park, so to speak. Again, thanks, everybody, for joining us on Monday Night Pinball. And, Ryan, thanks for coming in. And for the second time, you've double-dipped one of the few guests that we've had back. I'm starting to like the repeat performances by some of these guys.
    20:46
    And I'm going to do a quick camera adjustment, if you don't mind. You got this, Chad? Yeah, I think we got this.
    20:54
    You know, unless we had to bring the game out here so everybody got to play. I wanted everybody to see this. Thank you, Zach, for flipping out. I want to thank Steve and Ken for coming out and having us tonight.
    21:11
    Thanks to Ken, I thought. All right, Steve. All right. We got player two up. Player two. You're player two, right? We'll just go down the line. Wow, what an amazing performance. Ken caught me off guard over there. I was like, what was he doing over there? 21 million points is 20. Look at the little blink there tonight. What a 120,000.
    21:35
    Got a 12 in front of me. So what is the expected delivery time frame for the Royals? That's a great question for Flippin' on Pinball to kind of address, I believe.
    21:45
    Or we can ask Ryan when he comes back. Yep, yep, yep. MTZArcade123, what's up, man? How are you? Welcome back into the stream. What's going on? So I was a little shocked to know that we were going to be streaming Medieval Madness tonight. and not only that we were going to be streaming Medieval Madness, but hey, we got some bits. Joe Fox is here. What's up, man? What's up, Joe? Thank you so much. Really appreciate it. Always good to be here. With the Royal. With the Royal. Now this is the thing. One of the most impressive things about the Royal as I look at the topper right now is the topper. Topper, unfortunately, the way that we have the camera set up, it's not really conducive for us to show the topper. We were trying to figure out a way and it just wasn't conducive like Jeff said. What I think we'll do, though, is maybe as we get closer to the 8 o'clock hour, I'm just going to take that player can, I'm going to turn it around, because nobody needs to see us playing pinball, and then we'll just kind of watch the topper in all of its glory interact with the game. I mean, does that make sense? I think it's great. I think we'll do that. Do it right now, Don. Good times.
    22:50
    Wookie Jeep, I've never played Medieval Madness. Hope to get it at a show soon. Yeah, Medieval Madness is a great game. You know, I don't have a lot of time on mid-event.
    23:00
    Okay. Got a little rule thing on, you know, pinball arcade last night, and obviously it's not helping. Well, this is the first plunge of this game that I've taken tonight. We set it all up, and then Ryan did some quality assurance testing. What's the time frame as far as these Royals, manufacturing-wise, getting to distributors, and then delivery to consumers? All right. As far as MMR goes, we plan on shipping starting in December. December, okay. The standards and the classics and the special editions. Okay. So the classics and specials. Right. So for people who didn't go all in. Hey, now. We'll see you after tonight. You get your game. We might be flip-flopping here. We'll see you then. But we plan on shipping the Royals coming up the first week of January. Okay. That's when our projected start date is. So not much of a wait. No. They're getting ready to hit the line. A month extra. It's about four weeks, five weeks after. Yeah. Just as we get anything left in.
    23:59
    Right on, man. I'll tell you what. I'm pretty pumped for it. I'm on the list for one. Right. I was in. It only means if you have good games, though, right?
    24:10
    If not, Steve's spot's available for sale. I think the combined score of 21 million might not have been a bad 10-point. What the hell? What about you guys?
    24:21
    Have you ever seen the score of like... Have you ever been on the stream here, Ryan? Have you seen her playing? Oh, unbelievable. Hey, Pirate Cat Red Eye. So he ordered that Royal, and he's looking forward to it. Joker 2 Wild. When are the kits going to be ready? Kits should be shipping about the middle of January. We should have everything ready for you guys. And kits can be ordered right now. We haven't opened up kit orders yet as we're trying to finalize a few things.
    24:44
    Jobber wants to know, have any of you guys played pinball before? Yeah, I actually played a couple weeks ago at Pinball Expo.
    24:52
    Very fun game. I'm looking forward to see how it all pans out here in Studio C. Thank you, Jobber. Actually, so you had some broken stuff on Facebook today that you were a little upset about. Sorry to see that. So as Flippin' Up Pinball and Ryan had said, kits will be shipping in January. Right. Okay. Fair enough. Oh, my gosh.
    25:13
    How's it going there, buddy? Well, Leafy scored better this time. So you sold out on your royal allocation, asks Devil Dog. So those Royals, man, it's just like... All media-eligible? Yes, if you were not there. But that's the other thing, is you can upgrade. You're not going to have that Royal serial number, so to speak, which would make it the rarest of all the medieval masses. Sure, sure, sure. But you'll still have an upgraded game, minus the powder coating,
    25:44
    which you could do aftermarket. You could do aftermarket. I mean, you could really replicate a Royal without having the Royal serial. It's not going to have that royal serial number. Right. So if you're a serial number guy, I get it. You want to get in there. You want to get something that only 350 people have. Yeah. I don't see this one. But if you're me, I'm going in on that special edition, and I'm blinging it out, and I'm, you know, whatever I need to do. Yeah, I'm going to find the back alley, you know. Exactly. Trim guy. Yeah. Right, right, right. And that's kind of the cool thing. Not back alley, back alley. Like somebody out of an alley. No, I got you. But even a back alley trim wouldn't be horrible, right? It would be great. Good times. As I try to double that $188,000 point.
    26:33
    Slow start. All good. Yes, then. All toppers are available as kits. Everything is considered a kit for this one, and they're available to all dealers. Besides the trim. You can't get the trim as a kit, can you? No. Okay. That's going to be... That's limited to Royals. There's going to be a limited amount of trim available to Planetary Pinball Supply. Oh, okay. So, PBS will have some of the trim available. Interesting. Along with the Black Mirror Blades we're going to be putting in this. Cool, cool. Good to know. I did not know that was an option.
    27:05
    And Answer Pirate, Captain Red Eye there, the pirate. The pirate. Yes, we have not announced how many Royals will be made. So, it is a limited sub-segment of these 500 games. We're not going to announce how many are finally finished and made.
    27:26
    So, yes. And you can meet Zach at any back alley. We'll be more than happy to meet up with you. Feels like it's playing a little steep today. It is playing steep. Is it just me? You know what? We did the leveling left to right, but not front to back. Right. Well, we have it set at 8.9 degrees, so that's pretty.
    27:50
    I have no idea what it's set at. I think it's just you. Yeah. You need more beer. Okay, so this is true. So a couple things. I'm finding my shots because those are the first two balls I put on this pin since it got here at Studio C. And my first three sips of I'm drinking a little Anti-Hero by Revolution Brewing tonight. So, yeah, I think you're right, Ryan. Yeah. You just need more beer, more play, you'll do better. You know, it doesn't have to be intoxicating as far as the beer consumption goes, but it absolutely gets my timing down. I'm not usually used to playing without having a couple beers. Oh, hey. So I'm a little bit later, a little bit early, usually, depending on that. Anyhow, I want to thank everybody for coming in to chat. Again, we are streaming the Medieval Madness Royal Edition on loan, brought to you tonight from Ryan White, who's the Vice President of Sales at Chicago Game Company. Unloaded this bad boy right out of the truck in the Studio C. We set it up, and it's a beautiful pinball machine. It really, really is. And I've always been fond of Medieval Madness as a pinball machine as a whole. This kind of brings it to another level. And I can't wait to turn that player camera around a little bit later so everybody can see the lighting effects on that topper because it really is pretty ridiculous. Yeah, I was hoping you were going to announce that. Stay tuned, guys. Oh, my goodness. We're going to turn the camera around so you don't have to look at us play. We should maybe do that sooner than later, man.
    29:07
    It's like that is pretty awesome. And let's put the topper cam on. We'll call it the topper cam. Topper cam. Absolutely. So you can't see Steve get all frustrated as he's playing. Yeah. Nobody wants to see my facial expressions as I can't make my shots. Unless the consensus is chat, skip the topper, keep it on us. Yeah. So, Lorne Helmet says he loves the bigger screen, too. The nice thing about the wider screen is that, I mean, everything graphically has been redone at a higher resolution. So you're not getting the same kind of DMD basic package that you would have on, like, an original Medieval Madness or even on the original remakes. Even on the remakes, when we did the color kit, we did the dots the same HD dots. Right. But now when you expand it out into that extra large display, it's just amazing. It is amazing. It brings a whole new depth. This has the upgraded sound system in it, similar to what we use in Attack of the Monster 2.
    30:01
    I mean, everything's real clear. The call-outs are real clear. The music's real clear. It's pretty awesome. You know, it's got the upgraded sub in it. I always like a good sub. Because I've always been one. I always, or I prefer at least to put like a Polk Audio external subwoofer, and I'll link usually two machines to an external sub.
    30:19
    This game's packing some punch without any type of an external sub whatsoever. And, Chris, we owe part of this to you for the topper. So, once again, thank you, my friend. You're right. So Chris Franchi, I guess, will be selling toppers out of the back of his trunk out there in Michigan. Need a topper.
    30:36
    Nice. Bill Webb. Hey, Bill Webb's in the house. Is it my phone or is it offline? I hope it's your phone, Bill.
    30:46
    It's not your TV. It's your phone, buddy. Glad that you're here in chat. I would do a little reset. Yeah, buddy. As far as I know, we haven't had any issues. What up, Bill?
    30:54
    Bill Webb's here. Been a while, man. Anyhow. It's fine here over flipping out Christopher is talking to Christopher $55,000 plays on an AFN special edition That's wild Alright RGB lighting Nice trim package And on the trim package that coin door is powder coated and I'm always a big supporter of whenever I powder-coated a game.
    31:28
    Always powder-coated that coin. Complete it. You know? Anything that is part of that metal is going to have to get the powder-coated. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's kind of nice. Good job, man.
    31:41
    Oh. Oh, it's going to make a break of milk here. Just barely skating by there, Ryan. Getting that dub. All right, 21 mil. I had to get you there. Yeah. That's all you had to go for. Well, I don't know. We'll see what I can do here. You know, it's got to come up with a ball three. Hey, that's okay. I feel like you've got a lot of time on this game.
    32:03
    Hey, now. You really haven't got to play that much. No, I don't. We were talking about powder coating. I think that's what you guys were talking about a second ago. Yeah, so what all on this is powder coated? So pretty much any piece of metal we could find, we powder coated. With that same sparkle. With that black diamond powder we used. It's sharp, man. We did the lower arch, the apron. Yep. We did the speaker panel, the hinges. Speaker panel, I did notice. All the lockdown bar, the side rails, the legs. Coin door. And then we did the coin door on top of it, too. Yep. And that all comes with the Royal Edition.
    32:43
    So, yeah, everything you could get that's decorated is, there you go. You know. And, yes, we're doing Black Factory Mirror Blades.
    32:55
    Something different. Yeah, it looks great, man. I'll tell you what. No, it looks really nice. The powder coating with that flake in there, is it like a diamond flake? Yeah, it's like a diamond flake almost. You can't really appreciate it, I think, in pictures because I tried to take pictures today. Not at all. And it just doesn't look right. But up close and personal, it's really, really nice.
    33:16
    Are the coin doors powder coated? Are powder-coated. Yes, it is. And the Royals, the powder-coated is going to the coin door. So it's crazy. Hinges are powder-coated? All right, I'm going to start another game. Hinges, yes. Hinges are powder-coated. Yeah, we'll start another game. Hey, after this game, let's get off of player cam. Let's go to topper cam. We're going to switch it around. Topper cam? Yeah, does that sound good? Yeah, that's a new phrase. We'll go to topper cam. Nobody needs to see us draining.
    33:43
    It's just not worth it. Anyhow, let's get caught up in chat. But I heard this is where one comes to flip out. Welcome to the stream, Skip Nanny. I hope everything's going good with you guys. Wolfman, you guys are powder coating your noses. I would powder coat my nose if it was part of the pinball machine.
    34:03
    I can't wait for the arcade and pinball. Yeah, there you go. Zentron 1 is followed. Thanks for the follow, Zentron. Really appreciate it.
    34:13
    And I hate to say it, but we have to patent pen the topper can. Topper can? Yeah, we can. Topper can. I'm sure somebody's done topper can. No, that has to belong to us. I wish I had a graphic for topper can. That has to belong to us now.
    34:25
    Christopher says, patent pending on topper can. Maybe you can sell shirts, Ryan. Brutal. Topper can shirts.
    34:37
    Hashtag topper can. Yep, there you go. It's pinball related right there. So, again, I'm trying to find my shots. And this one's playing differently than the last one that I played. And it's got to be because of the way we set this up a little bit. New bits. Joe Fox with 500 bits. Joe! Joe's making a ring, man. Thank you, Joe. Sorry to yell at you, man, but Joe. Very nice, buddy. I really, really, really do appreciate that.
    35:04
    Always good to have Joe Fox here. All right, here we go. Pushed out. Oh. So you're telling me I have a chance.
    35:16
    I took the Steve game on the ball one on game two. That was even better. I got that super skill. Super skill, Chad. Oh, that's how you did it, huh? Yeah. The super skill. Super skill and then hit the castle, right? Yeah, super skill and then hit the castle. Yep. That's all I did.
    35:38
    All right. Zach, you cannot do this weekend toppers, okay? You do everything else, but it's not this weekend toppers.
    35:46
    Oh man. Topping out. I like that one too. That's a good one. Topping out on top of cams. We got Lord Howard Hurts. Lord Howard Hurts. Please stop hitting my front door with pinballs.
    36:08
    Yeah, Joe. Always happy to have you, man. It's a good time. Hurts is here. So, yeah, man. Ken's actually up there for a little bit. He's doing good. He can play when he wants to play.
    36:25
    He's doing good. Uh-oh. Look out. We're in trouble. That's okay. He'll drop it real fast. We don't. You know what? If he gets his 21 mil, we're okay with that. That means only you and I need to do it. So, we'll be good with that.
    36:43
    We'll get there. Eventually. You know. How late you got until tonight? We might have to think until we hit 21 million. Neil from Pinquest didn't say our time limit on this. I didn't see a time limit.
    36:58
    We better ask the boss. Hey, Kevin, was there a time limit on the 21 million? No. No, so if you're good with staying until, like, Thursday, we can probably all get that in. Might be the only way we get to keep Medieval Madness Royal Edition here in Studio C tonight is if we purposely don't hit the 21 million points. But we'll see how that goes. Well, Steve's going to do it on this ball. We know. So, again, the Pinquest Challenge is tonight where it's all or nothing tonight. Each player must score a minimum of 21 million points at some point this evening. It does not have to be the same game. Very attainable goal. Scoring 21 million on the Evil Madness is not by any means difficult to do. For whatever reason, during streaming, it's just been different for me since I started streaming. So it's not nervous. I don't know if I'm overthinking things. I don't know. Maybe it's performance anxiety. Well, hey. Glad you heard that. Right. I need the pinball Cialis form, whatever that might be. Right. Right? I don't know.
    37:56
    Don't worry. It's just a little blue pill. I was like, well, hey, it's okay. It's just a little blue pill. Don't worry about the performance anxiety over there, Kent. Take the purple one instead. Hey, we'll tilt the first one tonight. Hey, was that on the pin quest challenge? The topper almost fell down. No, didn't that screw down pretty good? I'm just kidding. Good times. We're set for one tilt. No warning tilts. It's just factory default. You're done.
    38:25
    What do you store your topper in? Walk away. Topper hopper. Ha ha. Mr. Franchi. Topper hopper. What's the current count of the pinball market trends t-shirts that have been sold through Silver Ball Swag?
    38:39
    There's a little side wager that... I'm going to guess a 50. If 75 of those shirts have been sold in a certain amount of time, Dennis Friesen will host Market Trends' segment on this week in pinball.
    38:50
    And it's pinball. What's going on? David O. Dennis is here. Pinball's D'Alice is at Christopher Franchi Artwork. Nicely said.
    39:01
    You know what? These flipping out shirts are pretty stuff. Yeah, so we have our uniforms on tonight.
    39:08
    We're at the job. We're at the office. I like it. We're at the office. We're at the office, man. Studio C.
    39:18
    It's in Nashville. Yeah, Nashville, Joe. All right, whoever's in Nashville, got to stop at Hattie B's Hot Chicken. Oh, wee.
    39:28
    Zach, make sure you put that on your list. Good hot chicken. A little off topic. All right, he took his hands up and extreme happiness. There's a little beady ball right there. I don't know what I was looking at. What happened? I was just watching the ball drain. A little Two Brothers Pinball. Is this out of appreciating, then? Pinball Pale Ale?
    39:50
    Beattie, what are you drinking tonight, buddy? You're drinking a little Two Brothers Pinball Pale Ale?
    39:55
    Juicy hot pale ale out of Warrenville, Illinois. Where can you buy the Flippin' Out t-shirts? Whoa, Penn Stadium is in the house with ten gift subs. Penn Stadium, thank you, buddy. And as we mentioned earlier, this game is being illuminated by Penn Stadium and Penn Stadium lights, the Penn Stadium Extreme Kits, the streaming kits for the serious streamer. That's you. I don't know how we have one. I'm not that serious of a streamer, but we do appreciate it. It does nice little added illumination on the game, especially for streaming purposes, and a little soft glow for the player cam, which isn't bad at all. Thanks, Scott. I appreciate it, buddy. It's good about me, though. Topper cam. And we're going to switch from player cam to topper cam here after this game. So instead of looking at our ugly mugs, try to get down and dirty on this medieval madness, you're going to be able to watch the topper in real time as it's pretty awesome, man. It brings a whole new element to this game. It does a little bit.
    40:54
    It's really, really impressive. Now I'm going to have to see how I can actually spin that around without having to re-cable everything. Of course, today's the day that I make everything nice and neat on the rig, everything real tight. And then I got to move a camera. But, hey, it's okay. It's okay. We'll see. So hooked on pinbill.
    41:13
    Basically, all kits will start shipping sometime around the middle of January. And install time for the RGB? Yeah, if you're a pit crew or you're a normal guy. It depends on how many people you got. Right, right. Overall, we have not timed it yet. We're still watching that detailed instructions to get everything right to make it as easy as we can so everybody can install it pretty easily. Yeah. So I imagine there will be some type of an installation video or something that you'll be able to offer. Right. Yeah. One of the nice things is the GI strands in ours, it's runoff six strands, and it all goes to the main board. Okay. So basically, just follow the wires. Cool. Very cool. Plug and play. Yeah. No soldering, no desoldering? No. No unpopulating your play field? No. We hope not. No. Good. Right. Right on my alley. Right. We're going to hire Ken to actually come in and see if he can do this. Hey, I'm not a novice, but I'm not an expert. So I'd probably be your typical pinball guy.
    42:16
    Oh, he got the extra ball. We're in trouble now. Yes, he did. Ryan, did you say that CGC was only making a total of 500 new medieval bandages for all of the trims? Because I know 350 is going to be the Royal. We haven't announced how many Royals we're going to get. Might be 250, might be 350, might be 5. Five Royals. Yeah. And there one Seriously So there no We have not announced how many Royals we going to do but the total run is 500 pieces Okay So you don know what portion of the 500 will be royals Right Of all models 500 pieces Gotcha. That's it. And when this one's done, it's done for a while. We've got some new and exciting things coming up, so that's what we're here to do. Yeah, that's the other thing. I've been hearing a little chatter on some podcasts that there's some other things that are in the works on CGC. We're here to keep bringing some new games. I like it. Keep bringing up what we can do the best we can do on pinball. Okay.
    43:12
    You know. So. Keep screening our play fields. Let's keep putting everything together. Right, right, right. No, I got you. But when you were here last time, you couldn't really even speak of this because I'm assuming you were still waiting for a license approval for all this to happen, right? I mean, on this game? Yeah. Oh, this game was happening in the background. I just didn't let anyone know what was going on. Okay. Gotcha. Well, which would make sense. I mean, why would you? Okay. No. Yeah. We still have... And the Expo reveal was nice. Right. We still have Monster Bash. We still have Limited Attack on Mars available to our dealers. Right. You know. But this one here, we wanted to kind of bring out a big surprise for everyone and say, hey, here you go. Now, you guys pulled a little surprise last year at Expo, too. It came down to the wire where CGC had a bunch of pinball machines. Joe Fox, 300 bits. Come on, buddy. Thank you, man. This guy's all over the place. Penn Stadium and Joe Fox. Thank you, guys. You had it where there was just like that little area, doesn't it, with the blankies over the... We weren't quite sure what it was, and then at the last minute you got approval, and then what did we see? Last year at Expo, we brought in four games in black shrink wrap, and it just happened to be all the medieval madness that everyone was waiting for. Or all the Monster Bass everyone was waiting for. The long-awaited Monster Bass. We got approval for that one like 30 minutes before showtime, so we just cut it out. I remember seeing that taped off and all that stuff wrapped up, and I was thinking, so if you didn't get the approval, nobody saw anything. You just put that stuff back up. I had a backup set of games in a secondary room at State Expo. That's amazing. So if we didn't get approval on Monster, it was literally going to be Attack from Mars Medieval there. That's it. They were already sitting in the back. You weren't quite down to the wire this year as you were last year. No. This one, we kind of knew what was going on, but details are coming out faster to people now. Yeah. But this one still came down to the wire to get it through. Nothing like waiting until the last minute to get that approval. Well, hey, you know, we want to do the best we can. And, you know, an extra seven minutes of work, that's pretty good. Are you going to be at Houston Arcade Expo this month flipping out pinball?
    45:20
    Zachary. He wishes. I got a chance to eat million now? What did you do? I think you got it. What did you do? Well, it accidentally went from the pops to the extra ball that was lit that I drained trying to get. Okay, Chris O. Thanks for the offense, buddy. Chris O. Cheating, Chris. Okay.
    45:39
    Joe Fox is subscribing. Jeez, it's like Joe Fox is all over the place. Joe Fox is killing it tonight. Thank you, Joe Fox. Re-subscribe. Tier 1 for five months.
    45:49
    That's about where you can only be is five months. Subscribe. We've only been doing this for five months. I think so, right? It's amazing and humbling to me that we have people that have subbed for five consecutive months. Thank you, guys. Thank you very much. Very, very fun. What are the major differences on this? So this being the Royal Edition. The Royal. Medieval Madness. Obviously, you've got the topper. You've got the diamond, black diamond trim. You've got the extra wide DMV with the new animations. Newly drawn, high def animations. Upgraded sound system.
    46:22
    Mirrorblades. You've got RGB lighting. It has everything. It's got everything in the kitchen sink. So this will go down as the most rare of the Medieval Madness releases, I believe. Yep. It sounds like.
    46:41
    Joe Fox for president. Zach's going to be the campaign manager. If you're a collector and want that serial number attached to that royal edition, you know. Yeah, right. This is the one you want. Yeah. You know. If you are the collector that wants the rarest of the rare, the Royal Edition, because of that serial number, is going to be the way to go. And it will hold its value more so than the other ones, from what we've seen, actually. But that being said, if you were in on the original Medieval Madness remakes, you still have that opportunity to upgrade to just about everything that the Royal has. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And not spend any more money than you would have if you bought the Royal instead of your original Medieval Madness. So cool you guys chose to do that. It is nice. Kind of not leave your original buyers, you know, in the dust. That was the point of it. It was a great decision. We want everyone to have the best we can get.
    47:38
    Toppers, RGB lighting, extra-large display. So the RGB lighting, so they'd have to go in and swap out the bulbs, right? Because it was incandescent. The original bulbs on the original Medieval Madness remakes, they were socketed bulbs. So they were socketed. You can actually undo them from the bottom side. Oh, that's even nicer. So you're giving them the kit for socketed bulbs. So basically, you're going to switch it out to an RGB light kit. Yeah. You're going to have to pull the sockets out. Do you need to update code for that then? There's, of course, new code. Okay. So this is capable of doing all that with the hardware that's in it now. Right. So it's going to have some different pieces, stuff like that. But overall, you know, the whole point of it is to make it to where everybody can get this and make it available to them. Sure. No, that's awesome. So, yeah, if anybody's ever shopped a game and swapped light bulbs from underneath, it's a quarter-inch.
    48:37
    It's a quarter-inch nut driver. Quarter-inch nut driver. Boom, boom, boom. Easy enough. The Ken Cam. so yes the original mmr le oh yeah that's the original numbered limited edition we do not do limited edition again does it guys i think the topper cam looks good yeah where you at is looking good yeah i think we got a good topper cam now all right so did i just take one you're You're going to see. All right. I've got to head home. That's my best game of the night. I'll see you guys later. You've got to hit the $21 million. Come on. $21. Yep. We've got Topper Cam going. Now, the thing with Topper Cam is that you're going to see my ugly seam on my fake brick that I have not decided if I want to keep in Studio C or not. That's why it's not joined properly. Other than that, party.
    49:29
    Parted in the dust. I like it. Yeah. You have the nice can cam. Sorry about that, guys. D&D behind it. That's okay. See, they can see our smiling faces on something else. Right. They have this camera as we're sitting behind the podium here. That's very, very true. I feel like we need our news anchor here. Yes, we do. And for those of you that are just joining us now in chat, with us tonight for the second time in flipping out pinball streaming history. Ken Cromwell, he's here tonight. I'm filling in for Bill Webb. My name is Ryan White. I'm the VP of sales for Chicago Gaming, but I'm just filling in for Bill. I knew you looked familiar. Okay. Now, you filled in with Bill by bringing in this Medieval Madness Royal Edition. And I want to say real quick, Pirate Cat and Red Eye, thank you for the 2,000 bits, buddy. That's awesome. And Pirate Cat and Red Eye did order the Medieval Madness Royal Edition. Well, congratulations. And he has one that's reserved for him. So that's pretty awesome. Congratulations. They're going to love it. It's a great game. Awesome. Now you guys are getting to see the topper, which a lot of people didn't get to see at Expo. So that's kind of why we're out here tonight. Talk to Zach. I talked to Ken. Yes. We bring it out here, let the world see this. So we appreciate all the people that are in chat tonight. We appreciate everyone that's here watching. You know, now you get to see Topper Cam. Topper Cam, now patent pending. The patent pending Topper Cam. It's called Frick. If there's anything that I can do to make the Topper Cam more pleasant for anybody that's in chat, please let me know. Hey, what's up, Orby? Hey, let's get from here. This is a podcast. Orbital Albert's here. Yeah, what up, Albert? Just in time for Topper Talk, brought to you by, Who could sponsor Topper, the Topper Cam? Right now it looks like Team Quest is sponsoring the Topper Cam.
    51:11
    It's very, very interactive, and there's a lot of lighting effects on the Topper. Switch it with the scores.
    51:22
    You know what? If I do that, I've got the score box in the middle. I have to change everything. So I appreciate the advice, and it's something if I would have known we were going to be doing the Topper, I would have rearranged some things. My template's not conducive for me switching those two, so my apologies.
    51:40
    Yeah, no, I can't flip the... I can't do that, Chris. Sorry. If there's anything else I can do for you, come on. Other than recommendations, I don't have a problem. Switch the order of events. Sorry, guys. Yeah. David O'Bennis met Albert two weeks ago, and he talked about how much we hate certain things. I'm sure that did not happen. David Dennis. Some guys from Rabble Rousers that come in on a weekly basis. Oh, Rabble Rousers. It was Mondays. Right, the Monday Rabble Rousers. It was Mondays.
    52:12
    It was Monday folks drinking on their Monday night pinball. This game's on. This podcast is described for five months ago. Oh, hey. Come on up. It says, thanks for streaming to Medieval Madness. The Medieval Madness Royal Edition. The Royale.
    52:31
    Ryan, are you rocking it out or what? Thanks, Albert. Oh! Got the edge, got the edge. 21's feeling really far, but once you open the game up, you start to get the big points.
    52:47
    Basically, it's a game of multiball here. It's a game of multiball, which... Hit your shot. I've had one multiball. Hit your shot. Get the madness going. Yep, get the madness going. Gotta get the madness going. I mean, you're mad enough. I'm mad enough. All right, come on.
    53:06
    They did take you for shots this morning. Remember that. Yeah, you know. Oh, wait, I wasn't supposed to cut that out. This was before we went on air.
    53:15
    Oh, man. All right, now Ken is chasing us here. So the topper came. And the topper came is looking pretty good. It's looking good.
    53:25
    Yeah, we had a couple of requests to swap it, but that's a lot of work to do. Oh, to swap it with the bottom? Yeah. Well, hey. It's better than looking at us. Left out.
    53:36
    What's that? It said topper cam's better than looking at us. I agree. I'll agree with that, Ryan. I agree. The topper cam's a lot more interactive than I am also.
    53:46
    And I have no RGB lighting effects on the toppers. Yeah, exactly. I can grow my hair out a little bit different to compete with the topper cam. I can get you an RGB hat or something. I should get an RGB hat or something. An RGB Santa hat? I can ask Franchi if he would draw the background of the topper hat, and then I'll just get an RGB hat. There you go. For the top of my head, for my topper.
    54:10
    Let's see. Franchi says that my cousin called me Albie all the time in high school. What up, Chris? Nice topper, bro.
    54:20
    Can you buy the topper if you already have a Medieval Madness? Asks MooButt75, right? The Medieval Madness Remix. Yes, you can. So on the originals, it's not coded to accept the topper. Correct. So you could buy the topper. You just would have to light it yourself because there would be no way to plug that in to interact with your game. Right. There's no way to power it right now. Right. But you could always externally power it if you wanted to. A lot more to it than that. I get it. But if you really wanted the topper, I suppose that you could. And I have to give credit here because Chris just said he only did the background. But you know what? Without the background, the sculpt doesn't do it justice. That's true. That is true. You did a really nice job, Chris. And the whole thing just flows together. So, Chris, you're part of that team. Thank you again. Nicely done. Hyper Coaster 200. Interactive chat, RGB lighting on Ken's hat. Yeah, that would be cool. You could just change the lighting and chat on my head. Right. See? New feature. So if someone ship it to Ken Cromwell, we need an RGB hat for Ken Cromwell. Right. Right, which I'll happily pay for because I don't ask for anything free on the street. No. Okay.
    55:32
    Let's see. Do you guys, you know who hates toppers? The guy with the low ceilings. Well, you know what, though? You can get the shorter leg kit that lowers your machine by eight inches. You can do that. And you put the topper up there. So the topper from the top of the machine, is it about a six to eight inch clearance? It's about eight inches. Eight inches? Yeah. Total should be a little more than that.
    55:54
    Pin Quest is here with 2,500 bits. Thanks, Neil. Thanks for coming in. So we started our Pin Quest Challenge of the Week here, which none of us have been close to getting, which, yes. Yes. We're still finding this out. So thanks for getting in and partial sponsor of the stream, and we hope to attain the other 2,500 bits, Neil. We're working at it. Might be here a little while. And we have not set a limit to the number of toppers we're producing, so it is going to be available. Good. So just remember one thing with toppers. You can, if you know how to do wiring, you can extend them.
    56:29
    Oh, sure. So if you wanted to rest maybe next to your pinball machine. I'm not saying you could put a shelf with it or something. That would be cool. Next to your pinball machine. You could wire it right up to the master bedroom.
    56:41
    I don't want to know what goes on in yours. And you can just have a little topper going. All right. Hey, Zach, future home of cribs. You just heard it. Yeah, toppers in the bedroom.
    56:51
    Toppers in the bedroom. That's right. Topper talk. A whole new level of topper talk. Forget mirrors on the ceiling. He's got toppers in the bedroom.
    56:59
    With my RGB lighting. Right. And my mirror blades, right? Oh. There we go. There we are. You said it for me to let the team down. Thanks, Neil. We are not always a family-friendly stream here. So, well, 359 says that he goes out. He needs to start saving some quarters for this beauty. I agree.
    57:26
    Steven's at 6 million, 6.2 million. What's the highest score tonight, like 8? 8 million? Yeah, nice.
    57:38
    Pretty far off for 21. Penn Stadium's in the bedroom, says David Aldanis. have those firing on the UV glows.
    57:46
    Anyhow. Oh, yeah, dude. UV glows are great. Yes. A couple of real auditions. A lot of them always send you.
    57:57
    Troy's a good dude. Pinquest, our Pinball Nerds podcast, is Pinquest Pinball. 21 million is a very reasonably high score. I couldn't agree more. 21 million is not hard to attain on Medieval Madness. For whatever reason,
    58:09
    this is our third game. Yes. We have not come close to that $21 million mark. MoveOn says, so you can get a topper. It's just not going to be interactive. That sucks. You know what? But if you really wanted the topper pre-original, you could get a topper.
    58:23
    Sure. And you never know. I bet you somebody could tie a topper into a couple of flashers or some inserts, and you could probably get some lighting effects on it.
    58:32
    Yeah, so it's just not going to work on the older original games. Not all the remakes out of Chicago Gaming Company that are medieval madness will be able to facilitate the addition of this topper. So there are currently plans. I guess I'll say this. There are currently plans to produce this topper through Planetary Pinball for the original medieval manual. Okay. Wow. Way to hold us in suspense there. We'll be available through Planetary Pinball, okay, at a later date, sometime after January. We are working on working with PPS to bring the topper to the original medieval batting. Very, very cool. There you go. So you're saying there's a chance. There is a chance. It might not be interactive totally with the game, but we are trying to interact the light show to at least bring the topper to life like this one is currently. Sure. I'll be right back. All right. Sooner than anything. All right.
    59:31
    As he steps up to the pinball machine, as he steps up to the plate. Ken's a big baseball fan Yeah, that's news, man We're breaking some news in there, right? That is Planetary will be offering some of the limited edition parts The limited parts Such as the black diamond powder They'll be offering They've stated they wanted the topper for The original, so we're working with them The original, cool So, very cool of you guys to do that. All right. So, Neil from PinQuest said, all right, boys, here's the ticket. Destroy two castles and get a multi-ball. Right. I think I destroyed one castle. Well, now you need to. Wait.
    60:18
    Is this throughout the night? No, it's just one game, okay? Two castles, multi-ball. You got this. I already did. I'm already halfway there. Right. You got this. You're good. I think 21 mils. You guys need to step your game up.
    60:34
    So what happens to the person who gets it first is going to be the question. How much? You know what? The person who gets it first should almost sit out. Sit out the next game? So that the other two players have more of a chance to get it, you know.
    60:50
    So. All right. So there we go. Okay. So we got it. First person to hit 21 million has to sit out a game. All right. So the other two get a good... All right.
    61:02
    So our chances are better at getting the other two. We've got to work as a team here. Yeah, we're working as a team. Right. Pinquest Team Challenge! Right, you know, it's us against Pinquest. It is. You know, right. Us against Neil. Since he thinks I was going to be the weak link, I mean, I've got to step up my game a little bit. Oh, Neil's saying, ha, ha, ha, Neil, that's how you get the $21 million. Okay. So it's not just destroy two castles and start a multiball. That's how you get the $21 million.
    61:36
    All right. Thanks for clarifying, Lizzie. Get two castles out of the way. And then start a multiball. I'm already there. Yeah. All right. Well, Scott's saucer blocked.
    61:48
    That's all you've been blocked today? All right. That's good. There's been a lot of blocking going on over here at Studio C. They don't call it Studio C for nothing, Ryan. Hey, I don't know how you came up with Studio C, but that's okay. Yeah, there's a lot of stories behind that, actually.
    62:03
    Yeah, blowing up the castle never gets old. David, you're right, buddy. Double Dog working on the wife so I can get this one. Still waiting on the CE Wonka. Yes, yes you are. Him all obsessed. Instead of physically moving the camera, can't you just swap the wires?
    62:18
    Moving the camera for... No, I can't because I'm running... Listen, guys, I just can't switch it because I'm running a webcam for the DMV because usually that's not as important as anything else. Everything else is a handy cam. So if you guys really want me to mess with it, I suppose I could. I just prefer not to. It's working, and I don't want to mess it up. But you know what? I'm going to say this. I think if you're nice after hours, maybe you can do something with them.
    62:53
    Yeah, well, you know what? How about I can just go full screen at that point, probably. Yeah, you know, hey. Right.
    62:59
    So, you know, I mean, you can give the topper tour on the topper cam. The topper tour? Yeah. There you go. All right, let me see what I can do here.
    63:10
    So, anyways, that's why I can't just switch the wires, because I've got two different cameras. Three of the Sony handy cams are all going through capture cards, and that one webcam that has the DMD display is separate. It's USB direct.
    63:26
    Now, typically, streams will only need to use three handy cams because you've got the player, you've got the DMD, if you choose to use one on the DMD, and you've got the play field. But because we have the added fourth camera, it just plays a little bit differently. So, again, my apologies.
    63:45
    Copper cam is freaking tight. Yeah, cool. Thanks. Thanks, Orbital Albert. It was our player, Kim. We just turned it around.
    63:57
    Hey, Lermods is here. What's up? Robin Kim. Lermods. Do the trolls have names, Ryan? Hold up. I think... I thought they were both named Ken.
    64:11
    Ken. Ken and Kim. Ken 1, Ken 2. What's up, Kim? What's up, Rob? Pretty sure that's Kim. Do they have names, though? Not that I know of. I haven't paid attention to that one.
    64:28
    Oh, man, what a cool game. I was kind of feeling it. Are you getting the feeling of that? I'm not having the ball control that's needed. Sounds like a personal problem. Well, it is, but, you know. Also tonight, oh, Ken, welcome back. Hey, that was good. You were doing good. Welcome back. That was back pretty quick. All right.
    64:50
    Okay, okay. So let me... Thank you. Let me see what I can do here. Hold on. We're going into reconfiguration. Chat amongst yourselves here for a second here.
    65:00
    All of a sudden it shuts off. If the stream goes down, it is what it is. Let's see what we can do. So I should be able to edit here. Uh-oh. Oh, we got strange boxes going on. Oh. I'm a little nervous. Me too.
    65:22
    Oh. Oh, that's... All right. So you guys can see Ken editing this. No, but we can. But we can. And we're nervous.
    65:39
    Okay. Now let's see if we can... Now the problem is there's no score. Right. Well, I don't think anybody cares to see the score. I think they want to see the topper. Okay. Hey, we can go with that. So this is as ghetto as it gets for the swap guys. Now we can just make up our score. Right. We're all well-hungry. 21 million. Yeah. 21 million, right? So we'll play a game with just the topper active like this. You get 21 million. You get 21. You get 21 million. Yeah. Everyone gets 21 million. 21.5? 21.1?
    66:09
    27 million. I'll take 27. Okay. Is that okay? Hi, Outer Spacey Tracy. It was really nice to meet you at Expo. Oh, wait. Neil called foul. Hey, Outer Spacey Tracy. Is that going to be okay for a game? And then we can go back to scores. Art, you know what we could do? Look how good that looks. We could just take our faces off of there altogether and just kind of move this up a little bit. That works too.
    66:34
    And then we could just kind of transition. These guys. Oh. Now it kind of looks like the topper is almost on top of the game. That's cool. Let's do it. That looks like we're going to start up a game. We're good? We're good. Cool.
    66:48
    And then the challenge now is to put the scores in the pin quest box. Oh, my gosh. Hold on a second. Ooh.
    66:54
    It's getting... Can you do it? This is starting to sound like, you know, we're going to have some fun stuff. Can you put your faces on the three faces of the topper? like a Mount Rushmore that would be funny the answer to that is no suddenly the street got more attractive yes it did thank you Lord Helmet yes it did ok well we think the trolls look better anyway so hey alright so then
    67:35
    No, you know what it is. Watch this. No, no, hold on. Hold on. We're going to do this. All right. Watching editing on the fly.
    67:52
    Due to technical difficulties, tonight's match of medieval madness is postponed for just a few moments. There's been a lot of technical difficulties.
    68:02
    Also due to technical difficulties. Our score is going to be suffering. And we have Steve singing. Give us the fill-in music, sir.
    68:19
    Let's see if that works. Well, we're missing the scores. Right. Hold on. We need scores. Yes, we do. Hold on. One second, guys. Another two minutes. Just layers, right? Yeah, I just got to make sure everything is in the right order.
    68:47
    So you guys feel free to converse here while I mess with this thing. I am very entertained by this. This is more fun. We get to watch him try and play with number cam and score cam. Switching some stuff around here. And then the last thing is going to be this cam.
    69:13
    I feel like it's like a Photoshop layer type of thing. It's exactly what it is. The higher it up is in the left. Now we have the DMD cam. Nice. All right. We have everything going here. Is that going to work? That looks beautiful. Ryan does not think. No.
    69:30
    That's Steve's job to see. Okay. Okay, so Franchi's posting some announcements here as we were pausing for station identification. Myself, along with Texas Pinball Festival's very own Ed Vander Veen and Dr. Pin, will be bringing the Super Awesome Pinball Show podcast twice a month starting this Black Friday. We've got some great special features planned, including putting two pinball celebrities against each other in a trivia showdown and much, much more. Stay tuned for more details and like our new page and find out more and interact, too, just a click here. Well, congratulations, man. That's pretty awesome. That's actually a longer plug than I've ever had for my podcast on this show. So I hope it pans out, man. That's good. I know we were anticipating that show for a while. So if there's anything we can do to help, please let me know.
    70:20
    All right. Not G-rated, I assume. Should I switch? Is that going to work? What do you want to do? Switch the topper cam, Joe? I think I need the topper camera. Hold on.
    70:42
    All right. As we do some more adjustments here, right in the middle of Steve's game, that's worth an extra 21 million points.
    70:55
    I know. What's worse than saying Bill's name when he's playing is me adjusting cameras while Steve's got a ball in his face. Well, that was a 21 million point adjustment. Oh, 350. Come on. Hey-o.
    71:10
    Okay. Congrats, Chris. I heard that as I was walking away. Good stuff. And you got Christian Lyne, Dr. Pin, on board. Interesting. Interesting combo. Phil's still here. Very nice.
    71:25
    Awesome work. Thanks, man. I appreciate it. All right. Can't ever the perfectionist. That's why we love him. Thanks, David Dennis. Love you too, buddy. It helps. Pinball Nerds Podcast. I love any such perfectionist. I'm not that much of a perfectionist, guys.
    71:42
    But I appreciate... Super skills, Dad. Dad? I might have you all fooled. That's where you're playing, son.
    71:50
    Yeah, I've been distracting Steve with camera angles. It's never uncomfortable. All right, he's stepping back up here. He's going for the $21 million. And he's back. Now take note how he adjusts the camera while he's there. That does look good in there. Uh-oh.
    72:13
    Everyone, do we like the topper cam? Did we get it right? Hashtag topper cam. Copper Cane. We're just going to knock down the castles, right? Yeah, knock down castles. Bust the castles. You still need 21 mil.
    72:33
    Knock down castles, get the multi-ball, and then you have to sit out for a few games. Then you're grounded. Oh, I thought it was that left out lane, buddy. Yeah, what happened? Left out lane was supposed to be getting you. You said we're supposed to hit the right out lane, right? No, that wasn't on the Pin Quest Challenge. I thought it was. I thought I was trying to get 21 right out lanes. Wait, maybe we should try 21 left out lanes. I know, I've been doing that pretty good in the out lanes. Again, if you're joining us late in chat tonight, with us tonight is Ryan White. He's the vice president of sales at Chicago Game Company, and tonight he's brought Medieval Madness, the Royal Edition, which is the creme de la creme. It's the Cadillac of all the remakes, especially Medieval Madness.
    73:17
    Very limited number have been gone out and offered through distributors. So if you do not have one, you can try your favorite distributor. I tend to recommend Zach at Flippin' Out Pinball at 847-778-4876. And if you're watching this stream, it's because Flippin' Out Pinball has made it possible by spreading the good word of pinball for everybody's benefit.
    73:36
    So, Ryan, thanks for being here, man. And thanks for bringing the new toy. Hey, no problem. Uh-oh, we got a complaint. What's that? Saying that the camera is blocking the princess. Oh, yeah, there is a camera right there.
    73:51
    Yeah, I wish you turned it around. No worries. Hey, should I fix it while Steve's playing? I'll fix that in a second. Yeah, I did not notice that.
    74:08
    I shut the stream down. I can't take it. We're getting all these people telling us how to win. No, it's good because it's like there's so many things. It's sensory overload here. Between the pinball machine playing, the sounds coming from the game, the topper effects trying to readjust on the fly are chattered. We've got a topper cam that's experimental tonight.
    74:33
    Pat Penning. What's that, Pat Penning? Let me do another adjustment. Oh man, I love this game but it's kicking my ass tonight Language child Language Everyone, look We got the official topper cam now It's going above the topper Top of the garage cam Now we see wires We're good

    77:24
    Thank you so much, guys. Yeah, very cool. The Malort Topper Cam brought to you by Old Milwaukee. The Malort Topper Cam would just break off and fall onto the playfield glass and shatter it all over the place.
    77:42
    Everyone's struggling here, Ryan. What's up? You know, hey, it's a Topper Cam. Does that feel steep to you tonight? No. No? Okay.
    77:52
    It's a Topper Cam. Just got to get the groove back. I'm starting to get the groove, and then I lose it, and then I get it, and then I... Just got to get the groove back, man. Oh, oh, oh, oh.
    78:06
    Just came close to that 21 million. Just checking the game. I looked at it earlier, and I was like, 21 mil. Like, I got this. Oh, my turn. Right out lanes. So now, go get it. I get it. Fall three. That worked? That worked, man. You only got 17.2 million to go. Oh, God, so bad. That's easy. Maybe we do after hours call-in while we're playing.
    78:36
    We might be here all night. I know. Well, it's already 8 o'clock, so I'm trying to figure this out. We got to get there. We'll get there. What's your curfew tonight? Curfew? What's that? I just have to be back at work in the morning. That's what I'm asking. You can probably just go directly from here. Is it closer? No. Okay. No. Still head back to Indiana. So you're not sleeping over, if you heard all about my RGB lighting and mirror blades in the bedroom? No, I don't need to go to the... You sure? Yeah. With my performance anxiety, for my pinball performance anxiety pills? We don't need, you know, Hotel California up there.
    79:08
    All right. Are you sure? Yeah, remember. No worries. You know, you can check out any time you want, but you can never leave. Well, yeah, you can't leave until you get 21 million points here. because as we look at the Pin Quest Challenge, all or nothing, each player tonight must score 21 million points at some point this evening for us to earn those other 2,500 bits.
    79:30
    So, and we have not combined for a score of 21 million, so. No, we're getting a little closer, though. We are getting a little closer. Of the combined score for 21 million. We're a third the way.
    79:45
    Is it a falcon or a hawk? Oh, this game's cool, man. Lauren Helmuth's going. He gone. Pigeon? Yeah. Oh, my God.
    80:11
    I like the new setup there. That's good. Oh, look at that topper move. The topper's rocking it out. Topper madness. Yes.
    80:32
    One crime must die and never get sold. Lord Helmet, thank you. Bill is at home tonight taking care of the family.
    80:44
    Hopper can kicks ass. Thanks, Chris. I have to come up with a... Never thought we'd have a Hopper can. It was on the fly, so it was not thought up.
    80:55
    Maybe Bill will call in. Sing us all a lullaby. Bill's not getting any sleep, so... Neck Jedi, what's going on? What's up, fellas? Thanks for streaming. Medieval Madness remake. Yeah, so this is the... the Royal Edition of Medieval Madness Remake with the topper. Yeah, buddy. And the fancy, completely trimmed out, powder-coated trim level. Upgraded sound system. Extra wide DMD. Upgraded color and display. HD display graphics.
    81:31
    Some mirror blades. Just showed up. Is everyone having issues with this video? Asks Leno570. Hope not. We haven't heard anything. Have not heard anything. So I would hit refresh. One thing you might want to try, refresh, and then set it to 1080p in your settings. And if that doesn't work, put the phone down and walk away.
    81:52
    Because we don't want you to be frustrated tonight. Hey, Tiki Pinball. What's up, Tiki Pinball? Tiki Pinball. What up? With 100 bits. Good seeing you at Expo. And I missed Dave Falkman here with a bit. Thank you, Dave. Hey. Did not see that. Dave's running smooth. All right. Thank you. Pinball Nerds Podcast just has to get a recording of Bill. saying have a good morning, good afternoon, and good night. And then press it if I'm feeling lonely at any time of the day. If anybody needs that for a ringtone, I'm sure we can set that up. Is that what it is? Have a good morning, good afternoon, good evening.
    82:26
    Yeah, good. Have a great night, guys. I'm out. Thanks, man. Be good. Hi, Pat and Red Eye. He's like, nope. Nope. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. That's not it.
    82:41
    So Ryan looks like he's in some action here. Oh, 14? So this might be the game, huh? He was blowing this game up earlier. He was. He was doing a little... Well, a little QC. I was a little QC before. I like your shirt, by the way. I like your shirt, too. Thanks, man. Good choice.
    83:04
    Start flipping off pinball uniforms. I thought we were going to get polos. We'll get polio. Polos and khakis.
    83:15
    So Ryan can cast a multi-ball, and it looks like he just qualified his 21 million points. Boom. There we go. So that's the first one of the evening. Pink West Challenge. Each player must score 21 million points. Ryan has just done that. Ken and Steve, not far behind.
    83:33
    Hey. Yeah. Legit freaking lighting on the topper. Nicely done. Yeah, the topper's incredible. They really, really crushed the topper. Hashtag topper cam. Topper cam.
    83:47
    Birdo Drink One, what's going on? What's up, fellas? We're checking in. I love this pin. That topper's amazing. Topper is amazing. Pin's amazing. Everything they did to this pin is amazing.
    83:59
    Glen 0570 says, Zach, I've never cared two farts about toppers. The last couple have impressed me. Chet Longstrokes, Will the Royal Edition have software settings and adjustments? And if so, will non-Royals get any of them? You can ask Ryan when he gets off. He's playing right now. Pinball nerds. 20 million legit. Told you. Yes, he did. Ooh, the Topper Twippy.
    84:22
    Is there a Topper Twippy? I don't know. I don't think that there is. There should be. New category. What's up, Anonymous? Hey, it was nice meeting you at Expo 2, by the way. And thanks for what you do for Pinball Streaming. Question on the remake. Remake. Can they update how the flippers feed? Look at that. They feel great on the monster. back to you, man.
    84:40
    Ryan from CBC is playing right now, and when he comes back, Alnonymous, if you don't mind, ask him again.
    84:49
    Super Jackpot Lighting is damn cool, says Jack. So what's up with the next game? Hey, what's up, Sticky Sour? Good hearing from you, buddy. So what's up with the next game? Is it Cactus Canyon, or did they finish the code? Come on, you know you won't hear that tonight. Yeah, I don't think you're going to hear that tonight. But I encourage you asking, Ryan, as soon as you're done blowing up the game. Yeah, hold on. Pinball Nerds podcast. There should be a topper, Twippy.
    85:14
    I... As soon as there's enough toppers, that would be a pretty fun category. It would be a good category. What category would PinQuest fall under for a Twippy It be like best pinball add or something Pinball app Maybe yeah
    85:33
    I think so. How about Rookie of the Year? Because it's like new, Rookie of the Year? Oh, yeah, I got you, got you, got you.
    85:44
    FD Zombie Dog says, I've got so much Halloween candy left, and I gave away the good stuff, only to have the shit. Really, I don't know what happened. Sorry to hear that. Keep it on topic here. RGB lighting is incredible.
    85:57
    No trick-or-treaters here. How about you, Ken? I did have some trick-or-treaters. The one thing I wish that I would have gotten for Halloween this year that I did not get in any of my kids' bags was taco pizza. What's up, taco pizza? Always good seeing taco pizza. Make them be hungry. Ryan.
    86:13
    Hey, taco pizza with 400 bits on cue. Thank you, taco pizza. All right. Let's order some taco pizza. Had a couple. You're welcome, Anonymous, for the shirt. We had a couple questions in regards to, are the flippers feeding the same on this remake than your other prior remakes that you guys had? Has anything changed from a physical standpoint? Okay. Franchi with 5,000 bits. Chris, come on, man. Come on, Chris.
    86:38
    I think that makes him an official sponsor of the stream tonight, brought to you by the super-duper awesome pinball shower. Oh, and by the way, Ken, you've got to chase that ball. I know, man. 49 million points. So that officially means one of us has done it. One of us has done this. Reached 21 million points tonight.
    87:00
    And, I mean, if I put a couple. That also means I have to sit out the next game so you guys have a better chance. I like your style.
    87:08
    While you were doing Topper Cam, we can't help but grant one. Yeah, you'll drive the mic. It's all good. Yeah.
    87:15
    So now I really became Mr. Web and your host. Okay, so you got the two castles and the multi-ball. I got two different multi-balls, three madness multi-ball. Three madness, okay. Then hit the castle and then just started destroying castles. Yeah, we just kept going. Yeah, you just kept going. I just kept that last multi-ball going, jackpot, jackpot, jackpot, jackpot.
    87:41
    That's fun when you open the game up like that. Oh, Neil, I'm the person you least expected to achieve this.
    87:51
    And I'm the first one out. Oh, come on, Neil. You've seen our game play before. I'm the first one out, you know. Come on. I want to be a coach. Get up there. You've got to play. I'm like averaging between like six and seven, eight mil. It is possible. You've done that once. You've seen. It is possible.
    88:13
    You know. If you get your phone out, it's there. I hope I'm next. I don't want to be the last one. You can go back and watch or get on YouTube. Find a video on how to play better. How to play better.
    88:28
    I know how to play better, Ryan. A couple more of these bad boys. A couple more beers. A few more pale ales and you'll be right there.
    88:40
    Once again, we want to thank you for the challenge tonight. Yeah, thank you. Oh, now, see, there's that topper camp. That's hit its job. The topper camp really does its job when you blow past it. It looks great.
    88:55
    Franchi is one of the most generous people in pinball. Fact. Oh, show. All right, catch it up on chat. Here we go. All right.
    89:09
    Franchi's making Zach moist. All right. Next. So, I'm going to real quick address the issue of Flipper Lab. Okay? It has been discussed.
    89:25
    You know, there was some production problems in the beginning, I guess, on MMR, as far as some things that were manufactured wrong. Sure. Okay? But when it came down to actual Flipper Lab based on the electronic software, they're actually at the exact same speed. Okay? So your shots are exactly there. The big difference is it's brand new. It doesn't have 20 years for the play. People are used to that old 20 years. It doesn't have that 20 years for the live. You're playing on a digital game versus an analog system. Sure. So in this game, too, can you go and adjust your flipper strength? Yes. Okay. I like that. This one's all set at default. Yep. You know, I mean, if push comes to shove, we might have to turn them up for you a little. You know, that would be during the 30-second timeout. Yeah. I have an AFN, right? Right. And you can adjust that. I bump on the little bit, just so it plays a little quicker. Right. We can make this one play quicker. I mean, you're hitting the ramps. The ramps are fine. Everything's fine in this game.
    90:26
    Sure. So the whole point is that we... I'm too light. Uh-oh. We got a replay. Okay. Dude, Ken, you said 21. You might be the last guy out. Bullshit. You might have to play by yourself. I'm going to go play by myself.
    90:48
    Can I just start with three players? No, I don't think I'll get one player. What did he do? He followed the same recipe. Ah, see?
    90:57
    Now the pressure's on. Yeah, it's going to be bad. Well, he did it as the bonus. Right, but it's real bad because you've got two people on commentary while you play. No, that's fine. This is like the Olympics. You really can't hear anything up there. But we'll get louder. Well, that's funny. You know, ring it on.
    91:17
    We'll need to use the restroom before my game. Yeah, I got to go off with a clear mind and a clear breath.
    91:27
    Kenwood's 20 mil replica. Thanks for the bit, buddy. Woo! Now, Steve, I'm not putting any pressure on you. Oh, there's no pressure, bro. But no manufacturer has managed to make the pin quest challenge yet. I will be the first. Oh, all right. CGC will be the first, so there's no pressure on you, my friend. No pressure. Oh, Super Jackpot. It's up. Boom.
    92:01
    All right. We are two people in on the Pin Quest challenge here. This sweat is beating on the beanie.
    92:17
    Hang on. There's no player cam. We don't have a player cam. I can be can number two. We have a proper cam. Ken can be my stunt double. See, the problem is we've got a camera facing the news desk here. Take the hoodie off. It's kind of like, okay.
    92:36
    You know. Ah, nice. We'll make a couple comments based off chat here, you know. One of the big things we wanted to do was bring everything we do to the original medieval owners. Yeah. So it's one of those keys to what was behind this was not just us announcing 500 games and we're going to do a certain amount. It was literally, what can we do to bring the owners in?
    93:08
    Dude, you brought it. You guys brought it. Brought it up to date. All right. We got two down. That was like a 24 million point ball. Three. All right.
    93:18
    Let's double check the pin quest calendars of the week here. And that was all or nothing. Each player must score 21 million points. Now, Ryan set the tone on that last game with about, what, 50 million points, right? It's close. 48, something like that. I hit 24. Put a little fire under you there. Now it's Steve.
    93:46
    All right. We got a little spillage there. That's okay. It would not be a stream unless Steve had an exploding beer on stream. So I think we let Steve get some balls under his belt here and just let him play a little one player. We forgot to tell you the rule while you were adjusting.
    94:02
    Oh, I'll wait for you to come out. Thanks. But see, we set a rule while you were adjusting. Sure. That every player, if you got in, you got out until the next one got in.
    94:11
    So, like, you and I just hit the 21 million. Yeah. He's got to get it now. Yeah, so we won't play. So we've got to give him the most opportunity. I agree. To get that so we can meet this challenge. That makes sense to me. So we're going to give him a few minutes. Yep. He's going to clean up his mess. Clean up his beer that exploded. He's got to clean up his mess, and then he's going to get the opportunity to go at it one-on-one. Right. Against the word pain. So we will absolutely do that. Now, there's been some questions in chat in regards to what is the next game from CGC going to be, and when is it going to come out, and what do you got for us, Ryan? The next game coming out from CGC. is Medieval Madness.
    94:57
    Super Diamond Royal Edition. Okay. So that's the Royal. So for all you listeners here tonight, please stay tuned. Oh, for more Medieval Madness Royal Edition.
    95:11
    So it's not Stranger Things? No. Damn it. All right. Sorry, sir. One can hope. And they locked me out of that room. I told you that time and time again. You said that quite often. They locked me out of that room. Something tells me you've got a key to that room.
    95:23
    Anyhow. Am I doing a one-peat? Yeah, you're doing a one-player game. You're doing one-player. You got two games where you got to hit. And if you need to go into adjustments for five-ball action, there's no disclaimer that you can't do that. I'm kidding. I know you can. I think what will help you, as it always helps me, is not having to wait two, three people.
    95:48
    You know what I mean? So now you've got two games here. Yeah. Where it's got to be a one-player game because of the bylaws we set. Correct. I like that, Kaz. Vacation America 2. There it is. Yes. Vacation America 2. You read it here first in chat. Right. Vacation America 2 with Chris's art. I would like to see the backlash for Vacation America 2.
    96:08
    He might be. So, Steve, it's not that he had a lot to drink, but for whatever reason, Steve buys his beer at Costco, and whenever he opens it here, it explodes all over the place. I think Costco, because I don't get beer at Costco. Not because of any reason other than watching his explode all over my studio. He likes to explode a beer. He does.
    96:31
    And Lloyd's with us. Hey, what's up, Lloyd? What's up, Lloyd? Replica X, Circus Voltaire or Theater of Magic would be nice in the future, says Replica X. Tim Mulder's podcast, The Increase of 10. When playing a one-person game, it's way easier to keep your flow going. Absolutely. That's why I've got a lot of respect for the tournament players. I don't know how they do that, but notice where he holds here.
    96:55
    I don't want mine to lose value. And Chris, you don't know what Vacation America is. That must mean he's working on the artwork right now. Yeah, hey. Good times. Hey, a little tilt.
    97:07
    It gets so quiet in here when you tilt. Two times it gets real quiet. One when you tilt, and the other is like when you open a beer. Or when he spills it. Because everyone's, well, that's inevitable. When he opens one, everyone's like... You're holding your breath.
    97:25
    You're waiting to drown. You're taking a deep breath like you're going into the deep end of the pool.
    97:29
    Oh, good times. Future Spy remake, please. Toten, Toten, Toten. BD just picked up a Toten. All right. Good thing is he gets two games. What was your favorite game that you played that wasn't Chicago Gaming Company at Expo this year? Did you have anything that stood out? Really, with this one, I didn't get a chance to play much anything. I get it. I know.
    97:54
    Honestly, I played a couple of EMs at night, and that was about it. Yeah, I know. Now, Franchi thought that you guys were doing a kid in play, so he might have to readjust the artwork.
    98:06
    Orbital Alberts, speaking of tournaments, can any chance of coming to Pittsburgh next year? Yes, there is a chance that I'll hit replay effects. If I don't hit TPF, I may opt to go to, if I can, and I don't need to play in Pinburg, but I'd like to go to Replay FX. I'd like to visit the whole Pennsylvania. I'd like to go to Helicon Brewing. I'd like to hang out with, you know, Miss Pin and Dr. Pin. There you go. And there's a lot of people on that east coast that it would be fun to just play in their natural habitat. So that is absolutely a possibility.
    98:37
    Albert, are you coming to TPF? What's your schedule look like for the next year of tournaments? Berto Drink One, and a new Addams Family, he's asking for. Of course, you know, I think there's a whole lot inside on what we're doing next. Join me in the chat. Yeah, just everybody. I enjoy reading it. The thing is, like a lot of those rumors end up at some point being true. Not about CGC per se, but, I mean, rumors have to start from somewhere. But I'm noticing a lot of misinformation lately, whether it be intentional or trolling. And I'm going to say this, too, man. I'm spent with the trolling. There's a lot of it out there. I'm sick of it. There's a lot of trolling out there. I will say this. It's just not fun from a manufacturer anymore. It's fun to read what people are talking about. It's fun to read what people are talking about, but it's like, I don't know. I'd almost rather just don't even say anything versus trolling. There's too much of it out there.
    99:37
    I'll get off my soapbox. I read. Yeah, I know you read. See what's out there. Comment when I need to. Steve, you getting loose now?
    99:47
    Get three castles. Just bang the castle. I'm leaving the headphones on anyway. See? So therefore you go. Take down three castles. You have a cumulative score. It should be good. Now, see, that's a good trilogy there. What's that? Monster Studios. Child Killer, Frankie Berry, and Boo Berry.
    100:03
    Yeah? I'm telling you. That's it. Faldrin's 80% TPF. I'm like 60% TPF. Oh, you got it. because Joe Fox is going to be there. He's got to go to EPL. I've been there. I know. It's always a good show, though. No, it is. It's a really good show. It's just very busy. It's just the travel is tough. I don't know. I don't like traveling all that much.
    100:26
    But Ed Van Der Veen hosts a great show. The Twippies being there really appeals to me. It's one of the most fun things I've done in pinball in a long time was attending the Twippies. So, yeah, I'd like to go to all these shows, you know. And as Dave pointed out, it is a week before MGC, so. That's tough, too. For the walking wounded, it's going to go from nice in Texas to. Have you noticed that ever since they moved MGC into central Milwaukee, it snows every year? Yeah, yeah. It can be like 80 the day before. Yeah. And on the loadout, it snows. Yep. Every year. Only on loadout. Well, and it hasn't bothered me because I've never gone to MGC. I've yet to be to MGC. Oh, you've yet to be to MGC? I've not been there. So, and to your point, you're right. Like, you can't go to TPF. At least I can't. Come back and then tell the way. Oh, by the way, next weekend. No, see, you come back from TPF. Call me in Milwaukee. You come back from TPF. How are you going to drive for the day? You drive for the day. It's like a two and a half hour drive, man. It's not. Well, it is. But you can do it in an hour and a half. Hour and 40 minutes. Yeah, yeah. Just pedal down. Pedal down, man. I'm not a big traveler, man. And I hate traveling on airplanes. I hate... I'm not going to stop talking about everything that I hate. Because it started with trolling, and now we're into traveling. The next thing you know, I'm going to be pouring this beer directly into my eye and busting out the guitar. I'm going to go into chat here for a minute. Yeah, please do. Please do. For a booboo key. Okay. What you got? What you got is you got the MMR Royal, what you're seeing here today. What it's got, it's got the X-Rarge display in it. the color, the HD graphics. It's got the upgraded sound system in it. How's that sound, Ken? It sounds incredible. It really, really does. And I'm not just saying that because the game is here. Well, I am saying it because the game is here because I can hear it, but I'm not saying it for your benefit. It's really, really good. Hey, you follow. It's got the topper with it. Lower King and Bell, thanks for following. It's got our black diamond powder with it. Yes, it does. And the black diamond powder coating. We did the speaker panel. We did the hinges. We did the lockdown bar, the apron. the coin door legs, everything we can do to really bring this thing to a whole other level. When the back box hinges and the coin door are getting matching powder coat trim, that means you're rocking it out. Hey, extra ball is good. Steve's on a roll here. But I was going to say, you know, even more than that is we did the apron, the lower arch. Yes. And we went ahead and did the speaker panel. I don't think anybody's done that in pinball unless you describe it. The speaker panel is also done? The speaker panel is also done. I'm just noticing that now, man. That's pretty crazy. You're just noticing it now, huh? Yeah, that's pretty nuts. That has the black diamond on it. Yeah. It does. Anything that is metal that we can powder coat. That's really, really cool. Makes this thing look more invulnerable. Wow, that dude is pretty awesome, man. And I wanted to say again, Laura King Neville, thank you for the follow.
    103:28
    Yeah, I'm getting grumpy, so I'm kicking people off the lawn right now. I did not, so I knew there was like an extra effort on the powder coating, but now you're telling me things that I'm now noticing, and it's like it's. It jumps. It would be a pretty expensive powder coating package, I think, if you were to undertake it yourself unless you had a hookup. So I guess that's where jumping in on the Royal Edition is nice. It really is a great piece. Everything is complete with that. We tried to put everything we could and then more in it to really just. Right. To make this game amazing. And again, if you're just joining in the chat, I'm talking to Ryan White. He's the vice president of sales at Chicago Gaming Company. And he's the one that brought out this Medieval Madness Royal Edition for us to stream here on the Flippin' Out Streaming Network. So for that, I thank you, buddy. Complete with our new topper cam. Yeah, so we've got topper cam going tonight. And after some tweaking, we got it to, I think, chat's liking. So thanks for the patience and thanks for the feedback. Because without that feedback tonight, I don't know that we're topper camming. So to answer EVH, we're going to be starting shipping these in early December.
    104:37
    The CEs and SEs. Royal editions will be coming out sometime in January. We're shooting for the first week of January, so it'll be somewhere right around there. And then you said Stranger Things will be like a March-April release.
    104:52
    Stranger Things, it's strange. We really haven't... Somebody better be doing Stranger Things. That's my jam. That's my jam, Ryan. It's a strange release date. it's to be determined. Yes, that's awesome. Well, I mean, but thanks for the information and the, again, even this game's right in front of me and you're pointing things out that I hadn't realized.
    105:11
    Now, Steve's coming. He just hit 21 million. Steve, you hit 21 million. We've done it. Ladies and gentlemen.
    105:19
    Ladies and gentlemen. For, like, the second time ever in flipping out pinball history, we've hit all the pin quests tonight. Each player must score 21 million points. Oh, wait. Aren't we the first manufacturer to pull this off?
    105:33
    Yes. Yes, you are. Wait a minute. So, Neil, yeah. Didn't think we'd do it. Beanie with the walk-off. The bat flip. He's out.
    105:46
    Steve, just turn the damn game off. We're done, man. Keep going. Keep up that good ball. That's awesome, man.
    105:53
    I've never seen Stranger Things. Am I missing out? Is it too late to back? No, it's not. It's only three episodes. Go check it out. Pinball Obsessed said that he cheated. Ooh. You can't cheat. We got a camera on it. That's true. Hey, nice. We got it, baby. And $23 million. Wow.
    106:09
    Dude, that's pretty sweet. And as PinQuest promised, 2,500 bits for us achieving the all or nothing PinQuest dream. Hey, cheers. Yeah, buddy.
    106:20
    All right. Good job. All right. Hold on. Good job. I got to get a selfie of this moment. Why? because we did it? Yeah, shit, we don't do this usually.
    106:34
    Get in here, Steve. You ready? Oh, that's a good camera. I like that. That looks like a whole other camera. You ready?
    106:46
    Nicely done, gentlemen. Hey, nicely done. Nice. As we got the kill. Neil did not think we could do it. Yeah, it was looking bleak there for a little bit. Then I have to remember that he said I was going to be the weak link.
    106:59
    Yeah, you actually were the strong. You were the leader of the cause. First one to get out there tonight and the highest score of the night at about 48 million points.
    107:08
    So then I'll pay him all. He says, BD needs a yeah, buddy. And Fulgern says, cheers with Costco beers. You got to be careful with those Costco beers. Congrats, guys. Thank you.
    107:17
    Fun stuff. He has a paid sign guy. Congratulations. I always want to say like Padres in something. My fault.
    107:27
    Pinball says he was just kidding. Stream looks great. Thanks. Thanks, Chet. Appreciate it. I think what we can do now is we can probably switch over to After Hours. You want to do that? Yeah. Yeah, why not? You want to go to After Hours? Let's go to After Hours. Yeah. So with After Hours, you've got live call-ins. You can ask us anything.
    107:41
    Whether or not you get the answer you want to hear is going to be... Wait. There's a request for you to do a selfie with the topper. Yeah. We should go over there and do selfies with the topper.
    107:53
    No? like selfies with toppers. But I say before we go to after hours, we do just a short break here.
    108:03
    Yeah, you know, it's not a bad idea. Let's pause for station identification on the Flippin' Out Streaming Network.
    108:17
    So we are going to take a short break as Ryan freshens up, so to speak. And while we take our topless selfies. Oh!
    108:29
    Caught us. Blessed. So, Ryan, tell me, how you having a good night, buddy? Where'd Ryan go? Somebody's always disappearing from the stream. If it's not Bill Webb, it's Ryan. Ryan does the same thing as Bill Webb. Let's take a short break.
    108:44
    It's like, I don't have a 13-minute commercial to play, man. You better make damn sure that while that eight-second thing is going, you've got to haul ass out of here. Whoop! Right. Yeah, I don't know if it's smoke behind you. It sounds about right. Anyways, the number you can call in is 630-283-2888. If you want to talk to Ryan, I recommend just waiting a couple minutes. He'll be back here shortly.
    109:05
    Oh, the opener again. Zach has a good point. What's that? The Monday Night Pinball opener. Thanks for joining us so far on Monday Night Pinball.
    109:23
    Thank you. Pinball's coming on tonight. Are you ready for some pinball? It's Monday Night Party. Yeah.
    110:05
    It's Monday Night. Oh, let's get some good time. It's time to go. Woo! So it's pinball time. I don't want to be right. All my friends are here for Monday night.
    110:19
    Everyone's here for Monday Night Pinball. I love it. You're damn straight. it's a Flippin' Out Pinball ad here. Because you know what? Flippin' Out Pinball is not only sponsoring the stream, but effectively creating additional awareness for pinball machines that some may or may not see. Yeah. So I'm absolutely behind it. It's good times. As we wait for Ryan to return from his extended break, let's play the opening again, but in slow motion.
    110:45
    Are you ready for some football? It's like the podcast I listen to at like 1.3. Whoa. Which one? Just the special and lit, I hope. No.
    110:57
    None of them. None of them pinball related. Yeah, well, we've got to be careful there. Be careful what you say there, Steve.
    111:07
    I do want to check out. Oh, that's great. I can lie. What's that? I started to sweat a little bit up there on that last game. Hey, that was a nice close on that game, man. I'm good here, but if I drain, then I need to do this all over again. Yeah. And maybe again. Start from scratch.
    111:28
    It is a little tough when you have to do that. It's like, oh. I know. It's like, what's going to happen?
    111:37
    1-800-TOPPERS, this is Zach. Hey, what's up? I wanted to order a Medieval Madness topper and a Royal Kit, please. Hey, topper man.
    111:45
    What's up, man? Absolutely. You can do that. And if you phone in now and you order now, we will do custom remodeling, restoration of those lowly ceiling tiles. We'll jack that damn floor up. Yes. And you can fit all the damn toppers you can. Yes. Only from 1-800-TOPPERS. Woo! 1-800-TOPPERS.
    112:04
    So I hope the topper came with your satisfaction tonight, Zach, because I know you really wanted to make sure that we had the topper. You know what's sad? If I was going to look at a new house and I needed that beautiful basement and it had low ceilings, I'd say, I'm out. It's not going to work.
    112:24
    I've got to have more time. I know. It was fun having Ryan back for the second time. Every time Ryan comes, he brings some nice treats. Sorry, you guys had to go freshen up for a minute. I understand. Got to power the nose a little bit. We've got Zach from Flippin' Up Him All on the line. What's happening, Zach? Thanks for calling in today. Oh, nothing. Nothing much. We're just talking about a whole podcast dedicated to pinball toppers, and I'm already formulating ideas. Oh, wait. We all know I'm pending the topper cam, okay? Just remember that. Topper cam belongs here.
    112:56
    So Kaz is suggesting Twit, which is this week in toppers, with Zach Metthuis. Absolutely horrible. It's not bad, actually. Nicely done, Kaz.
    113:09
    Good times. We've got a good chat going on, fellas. I'm loving the people in chat tonight. We're all having a little fun. What's up, Greg? How are you, buddy?
    113:19
    We've got a couple of them being some royal turds, if you know what I mean. Ah, royal turds. That's okay. Other than that, a lot of love. That's okay. We're all having a little fun. It is what it is. We've been having fun tonight. The game shot well. We all hit the pin quest challenge. We hit the pin quest challenge tonight, which was each one of us having to score 21 million points. So that was fun. Steve got the walk-off. 48 million? Something like that, yeah. You got the walk-off, though. Or J. Hollywood. You got the walk-off.
    113:48
    Yes. The man, the myth, the legend. What's going on? And actually, there was another kind of bonus content that was released for... What's this thing through there? We just had a new follow.
    114:02
    Yeah, can't see it. Can't see it with that. Gilpin Brewer. Welcome to the Pippin Out family, buddy. Thanks for following us. We had a little Pippin Out Pinball bonus Cribs episode that came out of the Studio B. Sure did. That was pretty fun. Are we going to see more of this? Yes, Steve Beattie went all improv on us. He did a great job. Yeah, you caught me off guard, but it was good stuff.
    114:28
    The camera loves you, Beattie. Dude, your editing skills Make it, man. See, now you tell you what. If you notice, I've been growing my hair out a little bit. Oh, yeah. So the people can... Keep going. No, we're done. Here we go. Oh, wait. Do they have twins on each side of you? Right. Hey. It's why I have a little bit between us because there's been some confusion.
    114:52
    Well, the matching shirts don't help. They really went for the twins. I think they called each other and coordinated. Well, we do. It's a coordinated effort here at Flippin' Out Streaming Network. It is. There's no doubt about it. We really like the new uniforms, Zach. Thanks for supplying the Flippin' Up Pinball uniforms for us. The stirrups, they are soft. These are nice shirts. They're very soft. Can people get these shirts from you? Yeah, I need to get Ryan one. You don't have to get Ryan a shirt. Ryan, what are you, a shmedium? Well, hey, you know, I did get a shirt from you, but unfortunately I do wear it around. But in this one here, I've got to represent all the dealers here, you included. so this way we went with the Chicago Gaming shirt tonight. So he cannot have any bias towards any manufacturer this evening. But he's got a tattoo of Fleur and Yann. Yes, we did see that. And we can't show that on stream because of the location.
    115:47
    I was waiting. I was just trying. I was waiting for the Chicago Gaming Company underwear. And Topper is already included, if you know what I mean. Oh, yeah, no. We are not launching a clothing line tonight. And with Zach dropping off the line, that leaves the line open. Zach just hangs up. Yeah. It's like, no. He's like, all right. He always says something really uncomfortable, bangs the hell out of here, and then leaves us to deal with the aftermath. In any event. So what else is going on in Chicago Game Company, Brian? So this game, when is the next time we'll see Chicago Game Company at another pinball show? What's your next stop? Iapa. Okay. Where is that? When is that? I have a Florida. Yep. Big international show. Coming up in two weeks, two and a half, three weeks. Okay. So you'll be down there? Yeah, I'll be down there for that one. So do you have a pretty extensive traveling? Do a little bit. With this? Do a little bit. Now, this game will be going to a couple shows, and that'll be about it. I have those out in Orlando. Okay. All right. You know, Orlando. Man, that Madness champion was cause. Did you see that? Zach, will you be down at IAPA? I don't think you will be. So for those people who were at Expo, this is one of the games that was at Expo.
    117:06
    So we just pulled it right back out and brought it here. Well, we appreciate the show special on this one. So it'll be fun to keep this one here. I appreciate it, man. It's going to be here for another hour maybe? Yeah, I don't even think it'll be there that way.
    117:21
    Then it gets loaded back up and comes back and goes back to Cicero tomorrow. I'm pretty comfortable breaking down and setting up games. This was no different.
    117:31
    I set it up. You know what I was most scared about handling? Was the freaking topper, man. Oh, yeah. I was so afraid. And something slips, and this topper goes down.
    117:42
    I don't know. Well, the topper is kind of one of one left. I know. That's what I was afraid of. Like if a head pops off or I knock an axe off of a troll or something.
    117:53
    EVH347. What's number four, Ryan? Number four. They're knocking me out of that room. Number four. What's number four, Ryan?
    118:03
    Vacation America 2. Okay, it's Vacation America 2. Brought to you by Chris French. Arcade Hollywood played Monster Bash at Expo. Love the larger DMDs. I love the larger DMDs too. Yeah. You know what? I would almost prefer, and I can't really say this, But if I had to take a choice between the extra large DMDs with the HD rendered graphics or LCDs, I'd be really hard to kind of make the decision on that. Because I love how a DMD looks in a classic game. But this is like the best of both worlds because it's an extension of the original DMD. It is utilizing LCD technology. What we have to do is we have to redraw everything. Yes. to go into this LCD technology. Right. So everything we do is redrawn, even down to the classics. Those are redrawn too. And we go ahead and do the HD display to really just bring that art to life for those people who want it. You can get your color kit on your classic edition, and it'll still bring that HD graphics to you on the smaller display. Right. But this package here just with the kits available, Yeah. Not even just the Royal, but the kits available, brings this game to a whole new life. I mean, even the speaker RGB lighting is... Oh, I like that. Yeah. I mean, but it's not random. I mean, it's changing colors with modes. It's synced with the machine, just like the topper. When you watch the play field, the speaker back panel and the topper all kind of synchronize. It's a pretty impressive addition to a game room. So if you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up. It's a great game. If you own an original MMR, you can always pick up kits to customize it to get exactly the way you want it to be, too. Yes. If you just want the topper, you don't want the RGBs. If you just want the extra large display, you can get that. And then breaking news tonight was Ryan stating that for those that have original Medieval Madnesses, you're not supposed to be able to grab this topper and have it plug and play because there's simply nothing to plug into it. These new toppers go with the remake machines only, but there are plans in the works, and this is being worked on. Right. There's a potential to offer through Planetary Pinball being able to purchase one of these Medieval Madness toppers and then install them on an original Medieval Madness game with some interactions. So you're not necessarily losing out on that topper by being an original owner. So it won't run the, at least as of right now, it probably won't run the RGBs interactive with the play field. Sure. But it will run a good light show, similar to what you'd see, you know, we'd run it at a very good light show. Right. Something that's in development right now, coming out for all owners that have ever owned a Medieval Madness and still own it, whether it's the original or whether it's the MMR. It's pretty awesome. Very cool. The remake, I mean, we've just enhanced it into lighting. We've enhanced it into everything. Right, yeah. The modes, as you saw tonight with Topper Cam.
    121:08
    Topper Cam was an impromptu thing that we did here where we were able to kind of put that topper up and ready to go. But it is official. We own it now. Zach, you cannot steal it. No, I don't think he's going to steal that. But I did want to welcome Jeff from This Week in Pinball into chat. Greg Bone from Straight from the Middle into chat. What's up, Jeff? What's up, Gary? Kyle's asking if This Week in Pinball is on a vacation this week. And Jeff's saying, yeah, it was until now. Well, welcome back to work, Jeff. Yes. Get to it. We're waiting for your email. SS Tarana asking for thoughts on the RGBs. I know my thoughts on the RGBs is once you see them, you can't unsee them. I'm like, you want the RGBs. It's just kind of where I go with it. And I noticed that especially on Monster Bash. The utilization of the RGBs on Monster Bash is some of the coolest utilization of RGB lighting that I've seen on a pinball machine. Really, what we did with this is really just enhanced and brought it up to what we're doing with everything else. Right.
    122:07
    You know, when you get into Trolls, it's going green. When you're blowing up castles, it goes red and white. When you get to 21 million, it turns green because then all the bits are coming from Pin Quest. Is that Catapult? I like the blue. The blue looks really good. The blue, I mean, really, it's a nice set. Now, one thing that everyone fails to realize is on the Royal, if you don't like the RGB, the interactive, you can turn it off. You can turn it to just white. Right, right. Which is going to be more of like a true. All of the CGC games that have RGB lighting, you can shut the RGB off to just go to white. Did not know that. So this way you can still get all the other features. Very cool. But not have the RGB for those people who don't like it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it is a personal choice. But we think we did it very tastefully.
    122:57
    And it really enhances the game in this one. You know, they started with a great game. We just made it a little better.
    123:05
    No, it's good. I was just reading Jabber's thing. This week in Pinball's top story, Topper Cam changes the industry. Hey, you heard it here first. Topper Cam. Unbelievable.
    123:17
    So I'm just scanning chat here. So I remember when I had my attack from Mars LE, it came with more of the warm white LED light. Now, in that one, you could have switched it to cool white. I did switch it to cool white, but it was like a proprietary bulb. Yeah. No, I mean, I literally switched the bulbs out. Right. I know that you could have changed, like, the brightness of the GI, but I switched it. And I'm trying to remember. I think at the time it was, like, pinball bulbs. Somebody had the replacements. Are there replacements available if you want to go from a warm white to a cool white? Because I'm a cool white kind of guy. You're a cool white kind of guy? As far as for this game?
    124:00
    Well, yeah. I mean, so this game, and it's hard for me to tell because I've got the Penn Stadium Extremes on. This is a warm LED GI also, right? Or no, it's RGB. It's RGB. Right, right, right. Right. So I don't know. Cancel that out. Where are you going with that, Ken? Yeah. Come on. It's going on my mind. Where are you going with that? I need another one, okay? Because yours is in your mind right now. It's been a long night. No, but I mean, so Attack from Mars remake LE was not RGB lighting. No. So could you see an RGB lighting or re-release of Attack from Mars remake? Not in the plans. Okay. Not in the plans. We're going to leave Attack as it is. Attack as is. Interesting. For right now. You know, we don't plan on bringing Attack back anytime soon. Hmm. So, because that already has the topper.
    124:48
    And it had that kind of, well, you had different colors that you could have picked on that. You could have picked that green. That one had the green. You could have got the black. Right, right, right, right. It has everything besides the RGB. That's pretty awesome. That game's great.
    125:01
    Will we see any more Franchi artwork on a CGC machine? Is being asked by Flippin' Out Pinball. Well, Flippin' Out Pinball.
    125:15
    Franchi, you want to answer? Ryan, you want to answer? He did a great job on our back glass, and he's more than welcome to work with us anytime. The back glass or the topper? The topper. He is amazing to work with. He is an amazing artist. And literally, without him, that topper would not look as beautiful as it does. I've always been a very big fan of Chris Franchi's artwork. And, in fact, if you go down to our original studio, most of the basement that I have pinball art-wise is Franchi.
    125:46
    His ultra-realistic, stylized version of art is appreciated by me. So it's nice to see that he's got a little bit of his DNA on the top of the topper there. So to reach out to Kaz, we went through a lot of problems to get the extra-large DMD for Medieval. It has been in process for a long time. The original plan wasn't to do it. We finally got through everything to get that topper released. There were so many people that were requesting the extra large display for it that it took a lot of pushing to get through all the licensing and all the hurdles to get that topper out, to get the extra large display out for a medieval. It was not something that was planned because originally it was like, nope, it's not going to happen. Did you want to talk a little bit about your background in pinball? because, I mean, we don't have to do a whole big segment on this, but I find it interesting where you've been in pinball longer than people realize. You didn't just show up as a blip on the radar as a representative for Chicago Gaming Company. No, I've been around pinball for a little bit of time. You know, one of my best friends is Matt from Back Alley Creations, and I've been helping him for years behind the scenes. Yeah. Coming up with great toys, great mods. that's what we did.
    127:09
    All of us have a love for pinball and literally ended up working with Chicago Gaming and that love for pinball is what's kind of brought us up to the level we're at. We're going to continue to grow. We're going to continue to build the best products we can, continue to come up with as much innovation as we can, and continue to have fun doing it. Now, in Chicago Gaming Company, you're not just offering pinball machines. The remakes, it's just It's like a small division of the company. We do some home arcade stuff. We have an Arcade Legends 3. We do the Miss Pat Gallagher Anniversary Home Edition. Those are still available, but we do a lot of pinball machine right now.
    127:48
    We're also Churchill Cabinets. So we've been manufacturing playfields and cabinets since 1977. So I think that's a lot of people don't realize. Chicago Gaming Company is Churchill. So that's why we take a lot of pride in what we do, especially our playfields, especially our cabinets. we screen every play field to make them as beautiful as we can get them to get those warm colors to get everything we can with it Now you one of the few manufacturers left if not the last manufacturer where you're still screening play fields. You have not gone to, like, I think we are the last one left. The last one there in-house. Right.
    128:32
    Hi, thanks for joining us on the Flippin' On Streaming Network. You're here with Ken Beattie and Ryan White of CGC.
    128:39
    I guess the phones are down in Australia, huh? I know, right? What's going on, man? What's up, you maniacs? Hi, Dave. What's up, buddy? How are you? What's going on? Hey, question, because we were talking about the expos and all the other stuff. Are you guys planning on having a big presence at MGC, or where are you guys? Because I know there's that weak gap, and I don't know if you can disclose that or not, but where are you guys planning on having more of a presence between PPF and MGC? Are you referring to Chicago Gaming?
    129:14
    We want to have the biggest presence we can at both shows. We're here to support our shows. We're here to support our people.
    129:21
    So if I have to get off a plane and jump in a car and go straight to Milwaukee to be there with everyone, We plan on doing this close to the same show we can with all the dealer support we can get at both shows.
    129:37
    So I think it will be a win-win for everyone. So you're going to treat MGC with the same amount as TPF, though? Correct, just like we did last year. If you were at both shows, you saw a huge presence from us at TPF.
    129:52
    Kingpin and MTZ Arcade did a great job getting everything set up for us at MGC. and we came in with a huge set up there too.
    130:02
    You know, we brought that big monster display that we use for some of our large international shows, IAPAs, some of the big shows. We brought that up to MGC just so people could see it.
    130:16
    I got you. Yeah, Ken, I'd like to see you guys up there at MGC just because, especially the Friday night. Yeah, I would like to be there. You've got to go to the Friday night thing. It's a little more money, but, man, you get some quality time. There's less tickets available. In fact, if you're planning on going, buy them now because that Friday night is good. Pretty fun, huh? Good times.
    130:43
    Glen0570, thanks for the resubscribe. I'm sorry, Dave. Two months in a row. Thank you. But, yeah, you know what? The thing is it's like it's back-to-back on that TPF. And you know how it is, man. It's just I needed like about a week and a half or two weeks to recover from Expo, and it's like 40 minutes away. I know. It's like they should be giving out IV bags at MGC. I lost like six years off my life doing Expo this year. I'm just able to write my name at this point from Expo. You no longer piss yourself when the microwave is on. There wasn't enough chicken gizzards to get me through. Oh, so good. Oh, good times. Man, I'm at the good times. Are you going to TPF, or what are your plans this year? Do you know? I think I want to do TPF but it's like that reality of MGC is just so easy because I can just drive up there I hear you and it's like you know I can I can I can go to the office I can leave my office at like noon head up to MGC have a little dinner and then cruise into that Friday night show usually I just go till Saturday that's the thing TPF is just a couple days and it's like you drop a lot of dough on that but it's a good time in that weather charge that's the whole thing is just getting down and being able to walk outside without freezing. I totally get it, man. I totally get it. And for those people wondering where Mr. Steve Beatty went, he had another beer explosion. I was ready. Congratulations. I don't know what is up with beer. Dave, have you ever bought beer from Costco? I'm so curious. You know what? They had Hot Slam. They had like lots of Hot Slam there last year, and I had to buy them like six cases. Did they all explode on you when you opened them at your buddy's house? Just checking.
    132:23
    Only at my buddy's houses, yeah, actually. There it is. Maybe that's why nobody invites me over anymore.
    132:30
    Everyone come to the Tomorrow Bar. Good hearing from you, Dave. What did you get from Costco? What are you drinking from Costco, B? What beer did you get? I have Pinball Life.
    132:38
    Pinball Life. Pinball Life exploding all over the place. Pinball Life everywhere. It's the Two Brothers Pinball. Pale Ale, last week it was. What was exploding? Elysium. I don't know. Elysium. Do you see how I'm, like, grabbing it nicely? I actually put it on a towel this time, and it's still overflowing. So, you know what? What it is, what it is. BD needs the towel. Yeah, the BD towel. BD needs a trough, dude. I'm just going to go to her. He needs a funnel. I'm going to whiskey. I know whiskey is not going to overflow. Maybe just start shotgunning him, like the sheer thing style. But, hey, Dave, thanks for calling in, buddy. It's good hearing from you. Be good. We'll check in with you later in the week. Keep it up. Thanks a lot. And thanks for everything everybody's doing. Thanks, man. You too, buddy. Appreciate it. Good night. All right. It's funny. He's like, are the phones broken in Australia? Because normally we would have heard from Dr. John by now. You know what? I just realized MGC, the week after TPF. Yeah, that's what we're talking about. I'm going to miss both of those. You're in Alaska or Iceland. I'm somewhere. You're out of town. Somewhere out of town. Unbelievable. No.
    133:43
    Damn. Thanks for calling the Flippin' Out Streaming Network with Ken, Steve, and Ryan White from CGC.
    133:51
    What's up, guys? What's going on? Who's this? Mr. Franchi. Hey, what's up, Chris? Hey, Chris. Hey. Hey, a couple quick things while I got you on the line, buddy. Number one, thanks for the generous contribution to the stream tonight. Really, really, really appreciate that. And congratulations on the official release or announcement of your new pinball podcast. Yes. And certainly congratulations on taking part in one of the coolest looking toppers that I've seen come through pinball in a long time. So you got the trifecta, buddy. Nicely done. Yeah, I pimped out the show so that nobody would leave your stream to go find out what it was on my Facebook page. Yeah, we were going to rebroadcast it. We were worried about that.
    134:36
    We didn't know. Anyway, I wanted to tell Ryan that I'm going to be at Free Play Florida as well, I hear lunch is on you. I don't know if I'm going to hit free play. They did it the weekend after IAAPA. I had to get down to IAAPA Saturday to set up Sunday, Monday for a Tuesday through Friday show. I don't know if I'm going to be able to hit free play this year. Last year I was able to hit free play because it was the weekend before, so I flew in Saturday, checked out free play for the day, went back in Sunday, went straight to IAAPA set up, and then was there Monday through Friday. So I'm going to try. Let's see what we can pull off. Hopefully if it is, then lunch is definitely on me if I see it down there. Chris, what's your show schedule look like over the next several months? My show schedule?
    135:26
    Well, there's Preplay Florida, and that's in like three weeks. Then I will be at TPS again next year. and I think, but I'm not 100% sure, the, what's it called down, the Northwest, is that the one in Seattle? Yeah, it's Seattle. Oh, Northwest show, yeah. That's not, now that's, I was just going to say, I would love to go party with Jerry and his wife out there. Exactly. That's the show that I would love to go to if I could pick one.
    136:00
    Yeah, Jerry reached out to me. Jerry and Jen, they're fun. They're awesome. But I haven't talked to them, so I don't know. Have you hung out with Jen, Jennifer, his wife?
    136:09
    I mean, I have not, but I heard she's a laugh ride. Oh, my gosh. She was the surprise of Pinball Expo for me. She was so fun. I agree. And she was like very, she wasn't shy to talk about anything. I thought it was so awesome. And at one point, even Jerry Thompson was like, I don't normally blush, but I'm turning red right now. He's so awesome. Let's do this. Maybe I'll snipe her and get her on the podcast. You should get her on the podcast. She'd be good times. Actually, yeah, that would be good times. She can tell stories about Jerry behind his back. When's the first episode of the podcast looking like it's going to come out?
    136:49
    Wait, was that a question? I didn't hear it. Oh, no, yeah. I was just wondering, like, when do you see episode one making its debut? Are you recording now? Do you got some stuff in the can? Oh, episode one? We're shooting for Black Friday. Oh, cool. Yeah, that's good. It's a good one. I thought that was pretty appropriate. Yeah, so we're shooting for that, but we've got a lot of stuff to get together. The first episode might be more introductory just because, you know, we're trying to get it going, but we've got to, you know, it's a very interactive thing. We're going to have, you know, pinball celebrities, whether it's people who make pinball or people who are pinball players, you know, big pinball players. We actually have lined up Steve Bowden versus Pinside Petey in a trivia contest. So all of this stuff has to be organized and prerecorded and edited and put together. So the first episode might be a little light on content and more of an introductory sort of a thing. But, yeah, we plan on going out about every two weeks. Wow, that's a lot of effort for two weeks. Or every two weeks, that's a lot. Yeah, but we want to do something different. You know, we've got a lot of interesting plans with bringing people in to do special segments and fun stuff. And, you know, we kind of want to try and be the Saturday Night Live of a pinball podcast. So it should be interesting. It should be entertaining. You know, we don't need another, you know, three-headed monster talking about pinball news. Hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I don't know where that was going. Hey, Chris, thanks for joining us. We'll talk to you later there. No, no, no. I didn't say there was anything wrong with the ones that are out there. Oh, okay, okay. Another one. Don't need another one. No, I got you. Don't be going for that Twippy until 2020, everybody. You can't just jump into November and steal it from us. Come on.
    138:38
    No, I love you guys. You know I listen to you. No, I know. And that's why. You know, I don't want to – it's not like we don't want to step on anybody's heels. It's just that, you know, I respect what people do, you know, what you guys do, and, you know, Slap Save and, of course, Zach, you know, working his butt off and head-to-head and all those guys. Special one-lip and roll podcast is pretty good. We don't see the need to do the same thing. Yeah, no, I get it, man.
    139:05
    You know what? I think pinball podcasting is due for a little bit of a shakeup. It's been too comfortable lately. Well, guys. Between BD's Chicken Pinball Podcast and the Super Duper Awesome Pinball Podcast. Well, we wish you luck, man. Yes, seriously, Chris. I'll be adding it to my sub list. That'll be me. That is true. So, nothing wrong there. Be careful there, Ryan. All right, guys. I'm going to hang up and listen. Hey, thanks, Chris. Thanks for the entertainment. Be good, buddy. I appreciate everything, man. Later. All right, man. See you, guys. See you. Bye. Yeah. So you'll have – Franchi? Franchi throwing his hat in the ring in a pinball podcast.
    139:45
    A couple hats. Him and Ed Vanderbilt. Now, you just bought a pinball machine from Ed Vanderbilt. I did. And it was the Banzai Run. That was one of the best experiences I've had buying a pinball machine.
    139:57
    And that was out of state. I mean, you know, Ed lives in Texas. You know Ed? Yeah, I know him. Okay. Let's say, wait, that's until you buy your Royal Edition, right? Well, yeah. But that's a new one. Well, yeah. I'm saying this is a used, shipped through, you know, STI. Ed's a good dude. Oh, Ed's a great dude. He really took care of shipping. That's cool. I've heard great things about it. I don't know that I've officially met Ed. We've exchanged messages on Facebook.
    140:26
    But I've not had a chance to shake the guy's hand, so I'm looking forward to doing that at some point. Yeah. It's good to believe and throw in a great topper crate for you. The topper crate actually. The topper crate came. It's out in the car already. Oh, did you put it in the car? Yeah, I put it out there. Damn it, I thought I was going to take the crate. The crate's a nice three-quarter inch ply and a nice box. It's pretty good. It looks like it's like an $80 topper carrier. Probably is. It's pretty heavy. It's heavy duty. Is that Baltic birch? What was that? Probably. It's like seven layers of ply. It was pretty nice. All right, guys. It utilizes the toolbox when you need to shift. Yes, it does.
    141:04
    I guess we could fire this bad boy down. It's 9-0-8. Do you have anything else you wanted to say? Wow. You want to stick around? Hey, I figured we'd get a couple more calls. Oh, I'm happy to take more calls. I figured we might get something. Ryan shooting for calls. Come on, y'all. I mean, I haven't. Usually, last time we got some calls. This time it's been a little. Oh, I just know that we will. I just know that we still have to break this down, and we have to get you in the car. We've got to get you to Indiana. Oh, look at this. We've got to go. It's probably my wife telling me to end the stream. No, I'm kidding. Thanks for calling the Flippin' On Streaming Network with Ken, Steve, and Ryan White from CGC.
    141:45
    What's up, fellas? It's Pinquest Neil. Hey! Pinquest Neil! Hey, the man of the hour. We got you, buddy. We got you. Thank you for calling. Congratulations, guys. I was absolutely for sure one of you would shit the bed, but it didn't happen. I was too, man. I was too. Thanks for having me.
    142:04
    So for those of you that don't know, Neil runs PinQuest, pinquest.com. So just about every single week, Neil sponsors the stream by giving us some PinQuest challenges. Usually it's five challenges. And for every tier that we're able to accomplish, he rewards us with 500 bits on top of his 2,500-bit donation that he starts the stream with. Now, I think only one time we've completed all five, and this week the Pin Quest Challenge was essentially it's an all or nothing. Each of us must score 21 million points at some point or the other during the night, and then we would receive those other 2,500 bits.
    142:42
    And to all of our amazement, he who we thought was supposed to be the crutch actually blew it up with 48 million points. I came in second and hit it, and then Steve, after two more games, you hit it. So we all hit the 21 million point challenge. Ryan lit the fire. It was fun, Neil. I appreciate it. It was a good challenge. It was good. It was fair, and it was a good time.
    143:03
    Good, guys. You guys had fun. That being said, I'll hang up and let you go. No. Oh. Come on, Neil. Come on. You know. I was supposed to be the crutch here, Neil. Neil, what else is new? I thought I would fail. What's new in PinQuest? What's going on with PinQuest? Because you just recently added official app support for Android and Apple for PinQuest, correct?
    143:24
    Yeah, that's right. We kind of did our relaunch at Expo. We gave away a bunch of Franchi Coasters that he so generously gave us his art. So that was super cool. We've actually got, I think I have like 10 of those left. So keep an eye out. I'm going to do some sort of national contest here in the next couple of weeks, giving the rest of those away. So that's what we've got going on. So people can jump on to pinquest.com or they can search PinQuest in their app search bar. Download the app. And then what this allows you to do is it allows you to search for locations in your area which support PinQuest. And those operators that are running those pinball machines allow you to try to achieve challenges that will – you can then kind of snap a picture, upload your scores, and then you can win prizes from those locations. instead of walking up to the pit bull machine and trying to hit a grand champ score, you've got other challenges that you can kind of hit and you can be rewarded for your efforts. Yep. Right?
    144:19
    Damn, man, that's how I use my marketing, guys. Hey, I'm available. Let me take this flipping out shirt off. No, I won't. Just flip it around. It's like, whoa, guys, don't leave. I'm not going to really do that. The cool thing, I guess, I don't want to get into a huge deal on Zach's channel, but, yeah, we're going down that road. But keep an eye out. There's a national contest button that does appear every now and then. That's when I'm holding some sort of national contest. So keep an eye out for that button and try and win a prize.
    144:48
    That's pretty awesome. Very cool, man. I really, really appreciate it. Anything that anybody's doing to kind of help get excitement with pinball I think is really fun. And, listen, I've said this a million times even off the stream. When we have pin quest challenges when we're playing on the stream, it makes it so much more fun for us from a playing perspective. It does. because it gives us these little challenges that we can achieve because we're not going to get super far deep into these games most of the time. So we appreciate it, man. It's really helped us out as far as just having fun from a pinball playing standpoint. So thanks, Neil.
    145:21
    Well, absolutely, guys. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and keep up the good work. Awesome, man. You too, man. Thanks. Be good. We'll talk to you soon. We'll see you next week. All right, Neil. Thanks, Neil. Thank you.
    145:33
    Well, good times. Good hearing from Neil. Yeah, man. Let's jump back into chat. Drain It or Save It Franchi Podcast has 10 episodes. Kaz is a little rabble rouser, too. I'm watching. I'm just watching him tonight.
    145:51
    Ken said, nice box. Yes, I did. Hyper Coast 200. Still have my Attack from Mars remake topper crate. Yeah, the crate is nice. At least, was that a prototype crate? No, that's the prototype of the prototype. It was pretty awesome. No, that's a Holy Shipper. Oh, Ryan. Real question, Ryan. Can we get those topper kits shipped in a regular box instead of, like, the little topper? Thanks for joining us on the Flippin' Up Streaming Network with Ken Beattie and Ryan White from CGC.
    146:23
    Hello, this is John. Hey, what's up, Christopher? How are you, buddy? Oh, well, breaking the stuff. But, you know, I'm doing okay. You know, beyond that. Good, good. Good to hear from you. What's the good word these days? What's happening?
    146:37
    Not a whole heck of a lot. I agree with you guys. It's going to be a good, solid week to recover from the badness that was Expo, and I wasn't even drinking with you guys. Yeah, well, I wasn't even drinking. I was just staying up late and drinking, I guess. Well, yeah, no, that was for sure. There was one time, I'd like to say Saturday night, I was over by the Penn Stadium thing trying out one of the games and seeing what the Penn Stadiums looked like, and I put a bottle down, and I went to go and grab it after I was done playing the game, and I felt every minute of my almost 42 years on this planet. So needless to say, it was exhausting, but it was a blast nonetheless, and it was really great to meet all of you. I even got a chance to talk to Ryan for a little while. Yeah. No? Lasting impression, I assume, from a jobber, from a christener. So now he had brought like the fully – like a virtual pinball machine that was assembled by fully all recycled parts. I don't remember. Yeah. Okay. Right. Jobber. It looks like that LCD is going to be recycled. Jobber, what happened to your LCD today? That went down.
    147:45
    Well, what happened to it today is I had been trying to fix a few nagging issues that came up during Expo. and I was taking out the playfield monitor and I was fixing something and I decided I was going to do it later and I put the playfield on top of the cabinet and got a phone call and as I went to go and pick up the phone call, I heard a crash. And the playfield monitor is now no more. So needless to say, luckily I have a backup, and it is a backup that is a recycled backup. Nice. But, yeah, it was not exactly. If you would have talked to me about eight hours ago, I wouldn't have been a very happy man. What do you have in there, like a 39- or a 43-inch monitor? What do you use? I have a 42-inch, and the replacement is, I think, a 48-inch, but I haven't measured it yet. So I'm going to go bigger. Just because the cabinet's built, I don't mind the 26-inch wide body and all that kind of stuff. And the whole thing is, too, is finding the monitors are not that difficult. and I watch Craigslist like a hawk. Right, right. I've got one of those Craigslist notification things that come up and tell me whenever things are up. Like, for example, in my local arcade market, I always get an ad for something called Elvis Cards of His Life because for whatever reason, whoever's selling that thinks that Elvis Trading Cards is an arcade game. Outstanding. Right, right, right. Yeah, yeah. But anyways, you know, things are going good beyond that. Now, locally, I always have a search in my Craigslist, and it says pinball minus Naperville. For those of you that might know what that means, I can filter out ads from a certain area. But, yeah, good times, man. Again, it was fun meeting you at Expo, and it was cool that you brought your pin. Zach is suggesting maybe getting into a real pinball machine because they're a little more reliable than the virtual builds. So something to sleep on. Yeah, well, I agree with that. and I don't think they shatter when you drop them on the ground. No, I think they do. That playfield glass is a little more accessible to break. It's just a glass on virtual. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, it wouldn't be a dumpster fire if you didn't break a few things while you're making it. So, anyways, gentlemen, it was good chatting with you, good meeting you at Expo, good everything in between, and we'll talk later. Thanks, Jobber. Be good, buddy. Thanks, Chris. Thanks. See you, man. Good times. Zahner's here, Dennis Creasel from Eclectic Gamers Podcast. I'd like to take a moment here to congratulate both Dennis and Tony for their 100th episode on Eclectic Gamers Podcast. Nice. So, I mean, that's a huge achievement. That is a lot. For those of you that may not be aware, Dennis is not only the every other week co-host of This Week in Pinball, but he also hosts Eclectic Gamers Podcast with his co-host, Tony. And it's nice because it's got a big pinball segment, which interests all of us here. But then it also covers some of the arcade and gaming, or more so like the gaming side of things, and even, you know, board games sort of thing. But 100 episodes, 100 episodes, man, that's a lot. 100 episodes. That's a lot, so good times. Good times. EGP love in chat. So if you've not subscribed, check out Eclectic Gamers Podcast on your favorite podcast app. Hey, we're trending. Trending up. Hey, Eclectic Gamers Podcast. What else do we have going on here, gentlemen? Ryan, what else you got, buddy? Oh, that's about it, man. We're just getting ready to get this thing rolling. Ryan's like, I got the calls. Ryan's like, I got my calls. Breakdown. Let's break down. So I can play it at my house. I got to take it. No, no, no. Ryan's waiting for more calls. We're ready to go. Can I answer any more questions we got? Well, we got a little bit of time left. Yeah. How about we get 11 more minutes. We'll shut this down at 930. Let's see. If not, you know what? We can just play pinball. We could play one more game of pinball. You know, we did cut the... With the top of the can. Playing it short. Right. He's ready to do this part. He knocked off the home run there. Woo!
    151:48
    That's good timing. Face is loaded. You want to play one more? You want to close out the stream with a game of Medieval Magic? We can do it whatever way you'd like. I don't mind. We can sit here and take calls, answer the people who are left in chat.
    152:00
    Let's leave it up to you. We appreciate everyone here. How about this? We got 11 more minutes. Do you want to keep the phone lines open and do after hours? Do you want to go into one more game of pinball? 21 mil a piece. Right now it's tied at nothing to nothing. So that's pretty awesome.
    152:15
    You don't have the Jeopardy theme on. No, I just have the Unsolved Mysteries. And the reason I have the Unsolved Mysteries theme is because that night that Steve Ritchie was supposed to come out, he just never made it. And I thought something happened to him. And it did end up happening to him. All right, we've got to talk while we're playing. Talk while we're playing. We always talk while we're playing. All right, I'm going to go run to the washroom, and then I'm going to start up a three-player, and we'll talk about play, and maybe take calls. Sounds like we need to pause for station identification on the Flippin' On Streaming Network.
    152:50
    And we're back here on the Flippin' On Streaming Network. Steve's able to get out of there. Let's do reverse order. We'll do a three-player game in reverse order. Well, we can at least wait for him to come back and tell him he's player three. Well, part of the reverse order was letting him know that he didn't have to. Yeah. Let's play backwards. Go ahead. Lead us out. All right. We're going to do it. You run this puppy. All right? All right. It's all you. See how it feels.
    153:13
    As we shut that down. Topper cam. We have topper cam here. All right. Coming up, we have Ken Cromwell leading us out. He opens up and hits Merlin.
    153:35
    Starts Trolls. Yes, here we go. We are off. Medieval Madness Royal Edition. Complete with Topper Cam and Super Baldrain feature, evidently.
    153:50
    Did you find the Super Baldrain feature? I sure did, Ryan. All right, good. But if you remember, my last game, going into ball three, I had 450,000 points. We all kind of had ball three going good. We're doing reverse order. Reverse order. Yes, yes, yes, you are.
    154:12
    My voice has been off lately. We suspect black lung. Says Dennis. I hope you don't have black lung, buddy.
    154:23
    French just said, hey, Creasel, we have to talk. Podcast is on. We've got to do one night in Bangkok. BD needs a new towel. Oh, man. I'm good, man. I'm good.
    154:31
    BD under my ass. BD needs a new towel. Washroom. Hypercoaster200 says, you always have something funny to say. Not sure who the comedian is in here, but don't be taken away from my thunder. Hey, yeah. All funny jokes go through me. EGP did conduct a poll, and 100% support for charging. Are you flipping out to something less? Or changing, changing, changing?
    155:05
    I need some glasses, man. Is that light? Is that light, dude? It's weird, because I've got the monitor here in front of me, and I've got the computer here, and I can read the monitor better than the computer. But when I go to the eye doctor, my vision's fine. I don't know.
    155:20
    It's that light. It is the light. The light, I'm telling you. She killed the light. See how it looks on stream. I like the studio. It looks very sophisticated. It'll probably host the coin takers. Thanks, Dennis. Appreciate it, man.
    155:36
    Hey, did you see how that worked? Oh. Just open it up and now it's your turn. Nothing exploded. Congratulations. Thank you. On your nice smooth battle. I do appreciate that. All right. Steve, it's up to the plate now. I'm going to miss Medieval Madness leaving tonight. this Royal Edition.
    155:55
    So I think as it's... Remember, Ken, you too can own one. I cannot own one. You too can own one. You know what? It violates my non-purchasing agreement contract as a freelancing streamer. Oh, okay. I cannot own any of these games. I can only take them in on loan and then enjoy them. $43,500? What happened?
    156:18
    I didn't even know that you could get that score. I didn't know that either. Wow. I walked away. I was actually very impressed about that. I love it. Wow, the low score of the night goes to Steve. Kind of heavy about that.
    156:32
    Kaz, you out? Hey. Steve should be opening his beers in a box from here on out. Sure as shit, Frangie. Damn. I don't know what's up with the beer. Instead of box wine, you get a box beer. I mean, hmm. Box wine. Anything without carbonation might be the way for me to go. I don't know what it is.
    156:59
    It's a work in the order of MMR oil. Look through the dealer network, guys. There are a few left. I believe earlier this morning. Welcome back, Ken. Looks like Ryan's getting a hell of a lot of money. Flip it out with Sam that MTZ had some people left, had a couple left. But check through the dealer network, guys. We do have some left. Oh, try a juice box. Oh, I'll juice box some beer. Eh, they get juice box lines due nowadays.
    157:29
    I think Ryan wanted us to play a game knowing that he'd get out of here sooner. Than if he had to wait for two calls? Than waiting for two calls. Oh, let's just play a game. Yeah, good times. Hey, whatever it takes. It's just fun, man. It's all good. Of course it's all good. It's good times.
    157:47
    So the Royal Editions are still down to flipping out pinball. So if you're looking for a Royal Edition, you've got to go elsewhere. But you can still get in on the other tiers of Medieval Madness at Flippin' Out Pinball. Air code 847-778-4876. If you're not the type of person that likes to call or text, go ahead and hit them up on the e-mail line. Zach, Z-A-C-H at flip, the letter N, outpinball.com. Zach at flippinoutpinball.com.
    158:12
    The proud owners of that company, Zach and Nicole, many. Good people. Very good people. I would put any credibility that I may have in pinball on a positive experience with Zach and Nicole Mennie at Flippin' Out.
    158:26
    That being said, if you have a distributor that's done you well, if it's not broke, don't fix it. That's just kind of what I've always said.
    158:35
    That's how it goes. Let's see. All right, let's see if he can double 43,000. That's like missing the skill shot and everything. It's like somehow it jumped out of the shooter lane into the drain without it hitting the... All right. Oh, the bonus. Did you double it? I can't even. I barely even doubled it. Dude, he doubled it. Literally. He literally doubled it. Oh, my gosh.
    159:24
    That's classic, man. Why don't we clip those two shots? Oh, man. All right. Pin Quest Challenge. Get under 100,000. We're under 100 grand with three balls. My average of 8 mil has gone way down.
    159:47
    Holy hair. Can we do under three balls and under 100,000? May. Good. Oh, holy shit. I might just go for the regular skill shot. We already got it, okay? I might just go for the regular skill. Throw the 50. I don't know.
    160:05
    Sorry, Chris. Can't revoke the pin quest, Brian. No, dude. I legit earned that pin quest. You got it. I got it. Yeah. And then you got it a couple games later. Yeah. And then our first game out, you can't break 100,000 in two balls.
    160:25
    200,000 is just to basically save a ball. I mean, come on. That's pretty bad. He hits $22 million and then comes back with less than $100,000. I don't even know, man. Man. That was pretty bad. You know what?
    160:43
    The ball is a one-ball game for me. Oh. It's a one-ball game. It might not be this game. It might not be next game. But I'm going to have one good ball eventually.
    160:54
    All right. Oh, we got a new reward for you. Chris is sponsoring it. Oh, shit quest trophy. Chris, you might need to start that, man.
    161:19

Give you a shit quest trophy. Nicely done. Pinball obsessed. Steve takes the topper on lowest score tonight. That's nice. That is pretty nice. Skip Natty would like to see some of Franchi's photo-realistic artwork for a Laverne and Shirley pin. Now, that would be something to unveil in out of Milwaukee in an MGC. Only if he can draw Lenny and Squiggy, too, absolutely. And, well, naturally, Skibnaddy says, Fogren, Beatty's claiming to be the Lance Armstrong of pinball. All right, we're up. Let's see if he can double his score yet again. Yes.
    163:00
    Well, he hit a catapult. That's worth $50,000. Oh, so he already ruined his three balls under 100. Three ball under 100. He just lost it. Right.
    163:10

Well, that's your perspective. Have another cocktail. It'll get smaller. Trust me. There's a reason. Never mind. Anyhow. Yeah, just wanted to answer that out real quick.
