Intro Music Hello! Welcome! Hey Twitch, what's up YouTube? MPT2K Mono here, and I have a special guest with me today. and it is this guy. This guy. This guy. Ladies and gentlemen, we have Mr. Stephen Silver of Multimorphic. Hey, guys. How's it going? Yeah. Hello, everyone. Well, RB Wings, hello. Hello. What's up, Ping? What's up, Sixo? What up? All right. We got Sixo here. We can start. So I'm excited Seven lanes to swerve baby Love that So I'm excited I just got this game in The mail Like literally Stephen I got a new record I got a new record in the mail today Yeah You know, it's funny. So this is a Multimorphic P3. If you don't know about Multimorphic P3, it is a modular, somewhat modular, physical pinball machine. I take issue when people say it's virtual. It's nothing. Trust me. There's very little virtual about this. What would you know about virtual pinball, you know? There are drop switches and there are balls. I have 20 balls in mine now, Stephen. I have 20. 20. 20. And they're all shiny because I tumbled them and everything. But it is a modular system, right? So you can buy one cabinet and then you can buy a game. You can buy software. You can buy hardware. The latest hardware that I purchased is the Princess Bride. I also have Heist, and I have Weird Al's Museum of Hilarity. Natural. Natural, yeah. Throw the word natural in there somewhere. Which even you also worked on, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I worked on Heist. I worked on Weird Al. I worked on this. Oh, looks like I'm a Stephen Silver fan then. Yeah, yeah. Who isn't? Oh, exactly. Exactly. Yeah. So when you got your new pinball day, how difficult was it? You had to go get the big dolly to lift your new pinball machine down to the basement, and then you had to make room for it and swap it out. That's what the experience was when you got your Princess Bride? You know what? It's funny you ask, even, because the experience was exactly this, which is insane to me. Okay? You ready for this? Yeah. I'm upstairs in my house. Upstairs. We live on the top floor. Upstairs. I'm washing dishes. And I hear the door open, close, okay. And I hear my son, my 15-year-old, coming up the stairs. I go, hey, Micah, what's up? He's like, hey, Dad, you got a package? And I look, and he literally can't. He's like, hey, Dad, you got a package? Puts it down, goes to his room. And I'm like, you... I got to get me one of those, a 15-year-old that can bring my... That can bring you... Yeah. Listen, he's the... I love him to death, but he's a little bit lazy. He will walk past a letter that's on the stairs. He'll walk past the letter. Did you see a letter on the stairs? Yeah. Bring it up. But he was able easily to bring this box up, put it on the hallway and go, All right, Dad, I'm going to my room. And I was like, what? And the box... Steven, the box said TPB, Multimorphic, clearly. And I'm just, Steven, I'm like, I can't believe my child brought me a pinball machine. What world are we in? Like, where's the dolly? Where's the, you know, crazy. Yep. And today, we got the official release of Young Martial Artist, too. So, I mean, that's a great new pinball day. Are you serious? Is it officially released? Yeah, it's officially released You can go download it from the store What? For free Kind of a big meal Wait, what? What'd you say? For free, kind of a big meal Released, young martial artist for free For everybody that has the highest play field And I want to make this clear, right? Making games is hard I know that Neil must have spent a ton of time Making this awesome game And he thought of it as a learning experience and he's just like, you know what, I want everybody that has a high play field to have this game, which I think is awesome. That's one of my favorite things about the platform. Every time I see the third parties out there putting out new content that are cool, new, interesting ideas that couldn't find the market anywhere else in pinball and people can download them for free and play young martial artists today on their high play field. So I think that's awesome. Good job, Neil. I freaking can't. Neil, you released it for free? I'm going to cry. The game is so cool. Yeah. Exciting. So that's our 23rd game on the P3. 23. Like, that just blows my mind that we're at that high of a number. I remember, like I said, I keep saying when I first saw this white box that was at TPF in 2012, Like it had rudimentary barnyard And rudimentary rocks And like some other game called holes on there Just basic stuff And I was like this thing is going to be awesome When we get like an unbelievable amount of games Like 7 That will be incredible Like 7 We're at 23 now And that's amazing to me So And a big part of that is all these third party developers Everybody that's out there that's got these machines That are using the Dev kit to make creative, new, interesting games. Like, that's awesome. Well, man, Neil, you've inspired me to get off my ass and start developing for this platform because that's always the... That's kind of the reason you give your wife why you buy one of these. But, honey, I can make my own game, too. Yeah, yeah. Then you're like... Then you're like, just blame everybody else. I'll catch up with chat. Let's see. What's up, Arby Wings? I thought you were the last one. I was, Arby. I'm here to complain to Steven personally that I'm quite offended to be put at the bottom of the list for getting the Princess Bride, which is absolutely not true because they're still selling them. Yeah, they're still going out. So we still got a big list to go through. I will tell you this. And I pay for this. I pay for this dearly. if you think you want that new module that they're coming out with press buy as fast as you can yeah so so what i did was i kind of see when i kind of went like literally like hundreds of people are going by me while I'm doing that. That's my life. Every time it comes down to something, I'll see a killer deal on Craigslist come up and I'll be like, can I justify this? Can I do that? And it's gone. And it's gone. Borg Dog. Borg Dog is here. Borg, I love Borg. Borg got Princess Bride like, I think, six years ago? Right? You guys didn't even develop it and Borg had it in the mail. Yeah. He's on our good streamers list. We got Jacob. Welcome. What's up? Let's see. Thanks. Thanks. I love... Oh, kind of big Neil. Thanks. I love making it and I didn't want people to have to choose between getting it or some other game. Neil, you're a legend. I can't wait. The game is so much fun. Next time I swap in Hyslop, yes, you have to download it. That was sneaky. Made you wait until he was free to be on the stream with you, but that makes sense, too. Who are you talking about, Arby? Hi, Josh. Josh Coogler is in chat. Jay Coog is in chat. Josh is the lead coder on the game. He's here. I specifically reached out. I was like, I need you in chat, so when I say something stupid and I mess up, you can correct me. So that's how they do it. Oh, shoot. Nice. What's up? Welcome. So you guys get to watch me. What's up, Grammy? You guys get to watch me. It's not my first flip because I was telling Steven earlier, I just got this this week, and my son Skyler, who's eight years old, plays like Barnyard, loves Barnyard, plays a little bit of Weird Al, but is a little intimidated by Weird Al, a little bit. and got one look at this game, looked at the castle and looked at the swords and looked at, like, the cliffs and was like, can I try? I'm like, yeah, sure. And we're playing. This is so cool. We're playing together, dude. He gets his Marco stool, boom, drops it down. And I go, hit that middle. And he hits that middle, hits that middle. He's, like, drop catching. He's, like, it's so cool for him. When we come home, we come into the garage, and he goes, Dad, can we do a couple games? And I'm like, hell yeah, we can do a couple games, man. When does the P4 come out? Well, that's something that Stephen's not going to tell us. We're not going to. I'll say this, because I've heard this brought up as a talking point on podcasts and stuff like that. And they're like, oh, man, this is technology. You know how it is. You're going to buy it, and then they're going to immediately come out with the P4 and make it obsolete. every single person that's bought the P3 since day one have been able to participate in all the upgrades we've done since then, with a few exceptions of some things, like we don't have the different wall and scoop assembly that you can swap in. It's all module. Someday we might have it. We've updated everything about it, all the new flipper modules on the side, all the new software and everything like that. So even if something like the P7 or something came out in the future. We've been the best. I'm just saying, like, we've been the best, I think, in the industry. Like, our whole business model is once you're a customer, we want you to be a lifelong customer. We want to – you keep getting this content, you keep getting these updates, and you keep getting these improvements as you go along. And we want people to be happy and love their P3s and keep them forever. people are making an assumption that the 3 in P3 assumes it was a P1 and a P2 is that correct? it has nothing to do with the iteration of the cabinet no it's an acronym for physical pinball platform that's what Jerry said a long time ago and that's funny because we got physical in the acronym for it so yeah that's just what it is it's not the third version of it it's the P3 it is what it is So in order for it to be a P4, it would have to be physical, pinball, platform, uh... Uh, purple. Purple. Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Um, alright. Let's talk about this game. Paz, if you're going to look for Black Glass with Kristen and you're giving... Trying to give me Paz, I'll take a P3. What's up, Paz? How you doing, bud? Alright, so I did get to flip a couple of times, and I am... As you can see, Steven, I... Actually, you can't really tell because you see the top of the game. But I did order the, I had to get this stuff because this is camera facing. I ordered the swords. I ordered Buttercup and, what is his name again? Wesley. Wesley. Thank you. I'm spacing out. Wesley and Buttercup and the apron art. But if I panned up a little, I would say Weird Al's Museum of Natural Art. I, I, I'm, this is, it's all camera. Oh, yeah, that's right. I mean, the whole cabinet. I'm not, I don't think I'm going to buy any more of these things because I'm procrastinating. I'm going to make my own art. And that's what's cool I love about the P3 is you guys actually have the plans up on the website. If you want to cut your own decals and stuff and everything, you have all the stuff right there. Somebody just has to get up their butt and do it. And I will. Don't rush me. I only gave you the outlines yesterday, right? No, you gave them to me like a year ago It's gonna happen, trust me I'm too busy playing your damn games I'm excited to see it though, I love that I love the idea that somebody could make their own personalized machine With magnetic art And you want to sell it, rip those magnets off Put them on your wall, put the originals on Or, you know, let somebody else get a MPT-3K machine Yeah Yeah. You know, there is one other person in the VPN community. Well, maybe not in the community, but a long time ago, somebody asked me for the art to the Mystery Pinball Theater cabinet that I have upstairs. And at that time, I wasn't doing Twitch or anything, so the brand wasn't important. It was no brand, right? So I said, this was like 10 years ago. I said, sure, here are the plans. And they did it, and they sent me pictures of their cab as Mystery Pinball Theater. And I forget who they are. I'm coming after you if you look you have the only other mystery pinball here I wanted to also shout out oh wait, wait, wait, old what's his name can we get a DPR for left swing to go with the right with the sword, wait what does that mean, can we get a DPR I dreadfire Roberts for the left swing to go with the sword oh okay, I got you no thanks for asking let's see I created my own young martial arts slingshot cover it's nice I hope to also do yeah yeah cool what's up Erica Erica's in the Palooza what's up Erica Erica you gotta come over you gotta come over and play this alright I gotta play this too I noticed one more thing just to shout out Multimorphic doing an amazing job at supporting all kinds of stuff Now I'm in a garage. My garage, the ceiling of my garage is too low for a topper, right? Thus, thus, here, let me do this. You guys are going to be, this is hilarious. Steven. I can't have this on my game. I unfortunately have only run this once and that was like outside just to make sure it worked. and then I had to take it off because Al, I'm sorry Al, you won't fit. There's no room. So what Multimorphic has done would shock the hell out of me. I couldn't believe it when I read this update from Jerry that says you guys have a system that allows you to have your topper anywhere. Yeah. And I was like, oh, I gotta buy it. And I think it's cheap too. So you can plug – I can have that, like, on the side where it is, and it could still – every time I do stuff. So what is that? Yeah, you can make it a sider. It's the topper extension kit, right? So the – I talked with Jerry about this a while back, but it was like, weird owls on the taller side of toppers, but it doesn't matter. There's a lot of people who have pinball machines and basements and garages that have low ceilings, and they want the LE package, but they also want to have their topper and they want to have a place for it but it doesn't fit on top of their machine. And we've got this extension kit box that you can basically plug into your backbox and you've got a 15-foot run you can run. If you want to put it all the way over on the other side of the room, you can chain a bunch of them together. Jerry had a video of like 10 of them chained together on the floor and it's like still works great. And so you can put your topper anywhere. So especially with like a multi-game system, you may have several toppers over on the shelf, and you're like, okay, I'm going to unplug this one and plug this one in and be ready for it and have them going back and forth and working like that without having to go on top of your machine and swap them off. There's lots of reasons why people want to have these in other places. So we've talked about it for a while, and then TJ, who's in chat, the spicy taco muncher. Hey! TJ put together the design of this box and everything And we made a label for it So I was excited when I saw that it was ready to ship I was like, okay, I know a lot of people who are dying for this Because they're big Weird Al fans They love it, but they just don't have the room for the topper It's hilarious because I'm in the community here in San Francisco And I'm telling everybody I free go watch I can't trick a topper or whatever And they're all trying to come up with different ways that I could oh you so we could figure out how to rig it right we could we could extend the wires we could do all this stuff and we could you know we're all thinking about how to do it you guys are just like here i'm like oh great cool all right oh man you need to give i do i do i do erica i do what are you saying accordion yeah oh i'm just gonna say like yeah i mean it's just it seems like and it's it's not crazy expensive i think it's like like, I don't know, like a hundred bucks or something like that. Like, it's something like if you need the utility, it's great. It's something that's there, and I'm glad we were able to make it. So, all the credit goes to Jerry for making that happen and pulling TJ off of all his duties and got him to make this thing. You know, Paz, it's funny. I was thinking of selling it, and now I'm not going to sell it because I couldn't use it, right? But now I can use it. And, yes, I used to watch Erica's Weird Al do his thing, and I'm kind of like, man, I wish mine could do that. All right, we are back. We're talking about Princess Bride, and I'm going to play a game while Stephen tells me, because I kind of jealously didn't watch anyone else's stream. Even when I went to Expo. Stephen, I went to Expo, and I'm like with friends, like, come on, let's go play Princess Bride. And I'm like, no. I ordered it. I'm waiting for mine. They're like, come on. And Erica can tell you this is true. I was like, I don't really want to go play it. I want to wait until I get mine. They're like, come on. I was like, all right, fine. And I'm playing, and I'm draining on purpose. I'm like, oh, it's terrible. I'm tired. Because I wanted to beat everyone. That's why. I wanted to just beat everyone. so tell us a quick story of how you guys came up with doing this actually at all we were actually in the process of doing Weird Al and we had talked about a bunch of different properties that we could do and we brought up the Princess Bride and all of us were like man that would be awesome if we can get it, it's of the right age it's of movies there's so many people that adore this film and you go back and you watch it again and you're like, this is just perfect for pinball. You can see all the modes working out and everything. It's funny, everybody in the dev crew, we're like, well, of course you've got to play the left-handed swordsman, left-handed only, one-handed only, and then right-handed, switch your right hand and stuff like that. I don't. No one does, Steven. No one does. They all do this. They all do this. We call that Steve's story ring because when Steve came down, he's one of our software developers, and he's also, like, the biggest Princess Bride fan of all of us, and he was our authority on, like, is this sacrilegious? Can we do this? And he's like, oh, yeah, we can do that. But he came down. He was the first person I saw doing it that way, and I was like, are you a cheater? It's like, all right, that's fine. You can do it. It's your game. Here's the thing, Steven. If you do it like this and you get through it once, then you go, okay, now I will do it the right way. You know? Yeah. Just gotta remember to switch to the other side when it's time. That's true. But we went through it, and then, you know, Jerry went out and talked to them and got it. And like I said, I've been extremely lucky. Weird Al was the greatest person on the planet to work with, and his team was excellent. And, like, when we turned in the final thing, he's like, yeah, change one thing to a 27. I love everything. It's great. And then we went through, and we were wondering how much of the movie we were going to get. and then they were like here you go here's all here's everything here's the whole movie it's like yeah that's what because we we were worried that we wouldn't be able to get it and then we got everything in the movie and then we we sent it off and they were pretty much happy with everything and so i keep getting lucky with licenses that are super great to work with everything it's like what are people talking about licenses are easy so hi oh oh don't do that bro because you know So it's going to bite you in the butt later. Yeah, someday. But I can be brusquely ignorant. Like I said, I've been extremely lucky. And also I've been able to work on titles and properties that I absolutely adore. So I love this movie. I love everything about it. And the whole team is on board and are big fans of it. And it's something that needed to be in pinball, we think. And we can do it in a way that no one else can because we can basically put the game underneath it. So go ahead and play. it is such a love letter to the movie it just makes me so freaking happy like playing this and I see you guys in chat saying you don't cheat I'm not calling it cheating well it is cheating isn't it because it's not using one hand alright it's cheating who cares if you think if you were a swordsman using two hands it would be harder if you think of it that way you're the real and you were talking about your son earlier like loving that center ramp and how it's you know he's able to hit it and get that satisfaction from it and everything yeah he loves you know because he's eight he's a pretty good shot but he's still you know learning has he hit it enough that the walls popped up to block his shot and don't let him hit the center ramp anymore? No, and I haven't done that either. I haven't done that either. Well, at times everybody's like, oh, it's a real easy shot. And I was like, okay, well, see if he can make that happen. So it's tough to... I've... I've tried. What's up, Fliptronic? I can't even do it right now, so I'm going to go into Florence. Oh, you mean... Sorry, this is my Checo Perez hat on Fliptronic. I'm Checo for life. I don't care that he's dragging down the team. Fliptronic just made me drain. All right. So, all right. Madden, can you ask me... Okay. Yeah, I was just answering him. F on garbage. Okay, so check this out. Here's some things I learned about this game. If you're watching this on YouTube later, Princess Bride is based on the movie, which we talked about. Stephen already gave you the intro. Some cool features, I think, of this game are the fact that if you go through the modes in the order of the movie, you get bonus points. And I locked so much on that one idea. If you look at the table of contents right here, and I know it's kind of small on the screen. Sorry, I can make it bigger for you. Right above me. Shrieking Eels, Cliffs of Insanity, it'll actually guide you through you don't have to guess what the order of the movie is you don't have to do it this way but the fact that you guys coded it to do that just makes me go okay, now I have to do it this way I don't have to and every once in a while I'll veer off from the book but you can pick it up and get a narrative streak going at any point. Can you really? Yeah, so let's say you did a bunch of stuff and then you come in and you start with Battle of Steel. And you're like, okay, well I'm going to go to Strength next and then I'm going to go to Wits and you get a narrative streak for those. You don't have to do everything in order all the way through. You can then peel off and you still get that bonus for that narrative streak. You can come back later and do a narrative streak anywhere. So you can pick it up anywhere. Because we didn't want to do a game that forced you into a linear path where you always had to do this path. And I always believe in that. A, you should be able to skip videos, and you should be able to, even though I slave over them, and I've made my way to put my heart in them. And it kills me every time you people skip it, but I want to make sure you can. But you go through and you skip videos, but then also you don't ever feel like you're forced into a narrative path, except in some specific situations, like if you're on the path to a wizard mode or something like that, then like in the big final heist, that's a narrative path that you go through in heist. But, you know, we still shift it up and change it up in that game depending on the order you play it So you might not see the same one every time So but again it because a fan of the movie you want to play this game You want to see the whole movie in the same order as it goes through And it's just something. It's another one of those side quests. I'm a big fan of side quests. You've got the side quests that you can do, and you can do save-saves, too, if you want to. I'm not going to do save-saves yet. I'm not going to do save-saves yet. It's up to you. I admit, after Weird Al for a couple of months, I was like, I might save state after you make me. Who's save state shaming you? I want to know. Well, on my chat, save state shames me. Look, save state is the Lord's gift to all of us. So for people watching who don't know, you can actually save your game on a P3. So you can say, as long as you're not at ball three, if you're at, like, ball two, you can, if you do this, and then you go to, see, it says save. I can save my state right now. And when I come back to a new game, I can, oh, I just quit. I just quit. But if you come back, I said abort game by mistake. Thank God you saved your state at this point in this game because you were killing it. I say stated myself on ball one with no score. But you can pick up from where you left off on ball one. So there you go. What if I'm on ball four? As long as you're not on the last ball, Jordan. Okay, Mr. Precise? So if I have my game set to ten balls, as long as I'm not on ball ten, I can save state. Oh, my God. I think that's a nice feature. Life happens and it's nice to be able to step away and play. You know what, Steven? I love this feature. I actually used it yesterday. The plumbers were here. And I was playing a game, right? We'll get to specific Princess Bride stuff in a minute. I was playing a game. Farm boy. Farm boy. One more. Farm boy. And... Flooring. Damn it. Here, still got it. Still got it. Still got it. Still got it. No. So, the plumber came over. What's up, Goran? The plumber came over and said, Oh, sir, can I ask you a question about something happening upstairs? And I'm like, fine, let's go. There you go. Pause the game. Go for pause. Which, by the way, like, that seems like such a no-brainer feature. Like, why hasn't everybody copied that yet? Like, that seems like something that should just be in pinball. That you open the coin door, and you let go of the flipper, and you close it, and you can walk away from it. Or at least make it an option. Yeah. At least make it an option. I do like that I saw lots of people that are making 3D printed things to, like, hook onto your machine and hold the button down and stuff like that. You know what? Yes. Matt at Free Gold Watch told me, oh, there's this cool thing that you can press and you can hold and da-da-da. And I go, you mean like the native P3 does already? So I want you to imagine this. Flipper proof. I want you to imagine this, okay? Imagine being a guy who works with the company and how many times people come up to you and say, you know what you guys should think about doing? You guys should think about doing something that you did 12 years ago that I don't know about. It happens all the time. I was one of my real good buddies. This was right after Dungeon Door Defender came out, and he was sitting me down, and he was like, listen, you guys need to get a tower defense game. It would be amazing if you guys could just figure out a tower defense game. And I'm like, really? That's the best thing you can think of? Come over to my booth. Let me show you something real quick. Let me show you the most awesome tower defense game you've ever seen. All right. So, okay, we're back to Princess Bride. What I want to do is I want to make my Florence shot because I'm going to go to Shrieking Eels. So, in typical pinball fashion, when you don't know what you're doing, just look for things that are lit and things that are... And the screen right here says, Castle, two shots. Flooring, open. Gilder, open. Right? There's a six-handed man. There's the spinner over here that sounds so cool. You guys got the greatest spinner sound ever. Yeah, Matt. Matt Kern did a great job when he sounded the first. I'm just like, gotta do it again. alright I'm going to do Shrieking Eels Bobo what's up Microsoft just said that 90% of office feature feature requests were a thing that already existed yeah yeah but they said that after we did so we said it first let me see if I can make my way through the Shrieking Eels alright so this is a tough mode because you start off with a little time you got to build up your time by making shots. You get more time with each shot you get. So don't do that. Coming down. Oh, shut up. I got this. Got it. Yay! Now you got more time. There you go. You got some pushing now. I did it once though got eaten by the eels how many shots you need like 3 or 4 I think it's like 4 I don't know Joshua will correct me he knows if he's in the chat let me get warmed up bro come on I'm here to warm you up I'm here to hype you up the world's most monotone hype man I don't think it's tough I think, I mean, I don't think it's tough. Listen, why am I talking like Mickey Mouse? I don't think it's tough. It's just, I mean, you could start with Cliffs of Insanity, right? Which is pretty easy, but I choose not to. You guys got to know how I play. Like, I'm not, like, trying to, oh, boy. All right, what do I, what do I want to do? What do I want to do? I guess I'll do the cliffs so I can try the eels again but I think I'm just going to go to the cliffs let's go to the cliffs yeah do the cliffs this is fun we purposely made cliffs like it's own little mode and it made it real close to the flipper so almost every game everybody's going to get to go up the cliffs because it's the coolest night in the game and uh so and uh Erica thank you for the subs oh my god Erica, thank you And tell me when you're coming over She said you were going to give her a heist She's already ready to come to her heist Now that, uh, now that, uh Young Mike for Artists is going to release Yeah We can both play Dungeon Door Defender Um, oh, what am I doing? I keep going for the big points Like, I'm going Yeah, that's greedy Well, I got, I got time Wait, wait I got time. I can get the big points. I can get the big points. At least one shot. Oh. Oh. Okay, maybe not get the big points. Maybe go to Miracle Max for a second. Ooh. 20 seconds of ball save. Let's go. But that ain't your mode. Oh, right, right. Mode, mode, mode, mode, mode, mode, mode. Three. Oh, yeah. So my mode is over, basically. I climbed a little bit. I climb a little bit. I got a little climb. I like when you die, you hear him go... Oh, I got the ball saved. That's right. So when you die, not only do you hear him fall, you see the thing fall and you hear him fall, but you hear the ball and the thing go clunk. Yeah. All right. I'll do better, kids. Let's see. Floor in three. Feature start. So we've got a feature start on Florin with three shots. What is that feature? I see. So every shot has a feature on it. So if you hit that shot enough, then it starts a feature. It works inside modes and outside of modes and everything else. And so when you've got that feature for a short period of time, doing things on that shot are worth more. So that's Rhyme Time. So if you go into that and you start Rhyme Time, it'll take you, because Florin's ready, so you'll pick your mode. And when you go into the mode, it will have, or is Rhyme Time running? Yeah. So every time you hit the shot, you hear one half of the rhyme from Fezzik, and then you hear the other half of the rhyme from Fezzik. As he's going tough with people, so you get to hear all of Fezzik's rhymes in that little feature. So it's a tough one to make it through. If you can make them and hear them all, then you're doing well. Well, I didn't even get a first rhyme. It happens all the time. Sunday. Yeah, come over Sunday. Erica? Sorry, we're making plans during the stream. All right, no more interruptions. Okay. I'm going to get some... If you do the feature, they will award a boost of some kind somewhere else in the game. So if you do well in the feature, then you get a boost later on. So I'm not sure what... Josh, where does Rhyme Time boost? I forget. oh on your book you can go check hit the yellow buttons on your book whenever you launch it takes you to your status page so that's your status page of your character progress and all your features and all your boosts and your mini wizards and everything so at any point in the game there's a status page right there so read the screen let's see oh boost oh there it is runtime uh Oh, the spinner. Rnv is spinner. Oh, wait, no, no, no, no. Yeah. No, the Red Pirate Roberts is a spinner one. So, these boosts will be like, they're just telling you what you get. So, once you get it, you'll see that, oh, you can check over here and say, do I have any boosts? That'll make your decision about what mode you want to go to. Oh, I've got this mode, Merwidge is boosted, or this other one's boosted, and you go to that, so. Okay. Use your eyes, Manny. What was I going to say also? Let's see. There's, so right now I'm in discovery phase of this game, right? And I even stayed out of the Discord because I don't want to hear all the little, I stayed away from everything for this game so I could discover it, in which I'm, you know, there's some people who like to do that. To be fair, you did occasionally pop in to ask Multimorphic to send you a, Oh, yeah, I did. Very politely, and then you would, that's how it counts. So every once in a while, by the way, dear Multimorphic, Please send me a piece of Prince of Pride and you pop out. Am I the most annoying? Was I the most annoying person to Multimorphic at the time? I was like, send this band up. Send them one. Let's go. Occasionally. I, you know, I love you guys, but I want fun now. I want fun now. All right, here we go. And I'm not doing my, what's over there? Oh, it was over there. How do you handle a game that has a pretty makeable, easy, approachable shot down the middle with skill shots? I love Colin's idea of, like, let's do a skill shot sequence, right? The first one is easy. You can just loop that over and over. Then the second one gets a little bit harder than the third one. If you can string all three of them together, you get all three of them together, it would be great. Now, if you made the first one, then the second ball, you'll start with the second, and then you can start with the third. So you can make them all in a game. You don't have to do them all in order, so you don't have to do, like, 12 shots or whatever. Right. But you can go through all of them with that. But it's still, I love that feature. I think it's so clever. It doesn't look so good. You don't smell so good. That's fizzle. How do you feel? All right. You got to feed him the soup. We like food in our games. I know. Apparently. Oh, man. My castle shot is terrible right now. Yeah. You just think about it like, if that was an orbit, would you be able to make it easier? I don't know. My castle shot is awful. My castle shot yesterday was really good. I gotta find it again. Yeah. I just gotta find it. You have to have that left carpet down, though. Yeah. I just gotta find it. Where is it again? I forget. Oh, it's like, like, ball-surfing for a second. By the way, I'm using the 1.01, I think. I'm not using the beta. Okay. What's your true love? True love. It's the kissing multiball. Try for upper right flipper. Jeez. It can make that shot? Oh, yeah. This is one of my favorites. You can just rack up your... You can get four jackpots. Oh, no. Coming back? Okay, coming back. I like when you make the boss kiss. It's hilarious. Make him kiss. Time for kisses. Ah. I promise you guys I'll get you a thing in this game. There's that shot. There you got it. Look at that. Now, did I hear that correctly? I think you said I promise and I like it. You're right on point. I said that? I think you said I promise and I'm like, yeah, I love it. I didn't actually have promise. I probably did. I might try what what Jay Jay Coog is asking and do that from the upper flipper. Let's go back to here again. Oh, Guide My Sword. I love this one. Let's go. It's germs. It's not the germs. Oh, I hate germs. Germs can kiss my butt. See, same thing. Walls come up. Confines at Joshua Clay Phillips. Limited shops. Love one, hate the other. That's the power of the P3, man. Okay, I can do this one. I can do this one. Let's guide the sword. So, the first one is easy. Boom. Next one, I gotta find where... Uh-oh. Oh, there we go. Did it get stuck? Maybe. Let me give it a nudge. Uh-oh. Maybe it didn't register the... Didn't register the thing. Knocked over on the way down. I should send you a new one in a second alright let me try something here is that a restart? yeah you can let me see something real quick I have yeah so this one should kick out a chaser ball I have to I have to check something real quick oh my goodness yeah Erica Erica you tell them germs is great Erica sucks I mean Erica sucks Erica sucks um here let me do something real quick I want to do something real quick let me do this real quick germs sucks germs is terrible have you gotten rocks is better have you gotten past True Love Multiball and see the state of the game after that? True Love Multiball. No, I haven't gotten past True Love. True Love. Yeah, so, I think it's, yeah, you make the kiss. If you make the kiss and you finish that, I think that's... Oh, I've made the kiss. So maybe it's that. I forget what it is, but after you do that, the state of the game and normal play changes. Does it really? Yeah, it's one of my favorite things in the world. I think I stacked True Love with Mowage. Yeah, well, maybe it's that. Yeah, something with that. Let me see. Let me go see. I got the little... I'm three games deep right now, so... There's a lot to do. Let's just put it that way. All right, I'm going to start with... Should I... Okay, so if I hit the captive ball, the six-finger-in-man thing happens. What is that? So when you hit the captive ball, it opens up your six shots. You've got to hit all six fingers to start, prepared by multiball. Prepared by multiball, then on the ramp shot, ready to go. And then you hit the ramp shot to start, prepared by multiball. Okay. All right, easy enough, easy enough. Okay Oh no don't Oh Okay here we go Oh but But his hands are gone I lost him Oh no They're still there You get the little The little finger The mini indicators That we've got There they are There they are I see Yeah I keep hitting Oh that's Oh look at that I keep Alright, here we go, here we go. Hand. Got it. Oh, boy. Where's the other hands? Oh, thank you, Josh. It's completing marriage. That marriage that changes it. There's a hand. Oh, that hurt. Where's another hand? There's two hands left. Hand! Nope, nope. As you guys can tell, I rarely use the upper flippers on this game, although there is a shot, the inconceivable shot is there. Inconceivable is valuable to hit. If you just take five shots, the inconceivable is whenever you can, because it's valuable when you get it. It's valuable? Okay. Yeah. Because the first time you get it, you get your pit of despair. Oh, that's how I got pit of despair. Yeah. There's multiple ways to get pit of despair, but that's the quickest way. You get your first inconceivable shot when you get pit of despair. okay bye flip-tronic bye flip-tronic that's the worst predator ever you don't grow louder when you're about to destroy your that makes no sense you're not supposed to be louder when you're about to get your prey oh my god true love multiball during this How are you doing, Will? I don't... Alright, just shoot everything. Yeah, just do everything. I gotta shoot up a little... A little... Oh, she's dead. Right? She's dead, but you still got the mobile. So yeah, when you get a chance to do marriage, and see if you can beat marriage, that's what's good in the game. As Josh... They told me that I was forgetting. Okay. Oh! Okay, that's okay. I didn't mean to start that. Let's see. Oh, I got to figure that shot out. It's so much. Get up there. That's my... That's the tough shot on this game for me. Is the castle shot. But sometimes what I can do is I can combo the castle. I mean that. Oh, nope, that's a flooring shot. Look at that. Look at that enemy shot. This one shoots so well though. This module shoots really well. Oh! I get into those spirals where I'm just trying to combo shit. It shoots so well. Like, it just... You just want to keep... What is it about that stupid ramp in the middle? Well, like Josh says, if you hit the left ramp, it's easier after a center ramp to build up speed for it. Yeah. Yeah. Alright, alright. Florin, Gilder, Castle. Let's do Castle. Well, you've got to hit the ramp shot to do Castle, but do Castle and do Maywich. All right, let's try this. Just do it. Just do it. Let's try this. Let's try middle, and then almost. Oh, you're almost there. All right, ball save. Ball save. We'll do it again. Do it again. Got it. There you go. You got it. You lost this. Do you think I'm locked in? I hit it once. Should we try sword again? Try. No, it works. It's always worked. That was the only time it ever didn't not work. Yeah. That was a double negative. I'll make you feel bad. I'm going to skip. No. Sorry. I hope that didn't make you feel bad. It did not. I understand. Got it. Oh, no, no, no, no. Okay, so speed and shock. So you've got to hit the left target to move the sword to the left. You're guiding the sword. Now it's locked on and you can hit the shock. Try to find that knob in the tree. So you've got to do left, right, and center. One. Man, that is... That is... That is sensitive over there. It barely touched it and it registered the hit. Well, but it's... So those are triggered by the grid. Oh, those are triggered by the grid? Those are triggered by the grid. So that's how we know... I think this is where we have six fingers on our right hand. Someone was looking for it. That's sick. Because I thought it was like a... It's not a... No, there's no leaf switch in there. Like, it barely touched it and it went, okay, you got it. And I was like, what? Oh, okay. I'm trying to murder those things, but no. Every time everybody's like, oh, you're not using the screen. It's like, we're always using the screen. How do you think your inlanes and your outlanes getting registered. How do you think those side targets are? We're always using the screen. We're always using the grid. Hey, question. Do these do these inline switches actually work? You know they rendered switches? So I'll just say this. If you're not noticing, then I'm really glad I didn't spend hours and hours and hours making little animations of them going down because you wouldn't notice. I didn't notice because they're on every pinball machine and I was like, yeah, that's a graphic. Yeah. What that allows us to do though is it gets the trigger spot separated from the icons and we can put them in the spelling order that I like. Oh, I see. K-I-S-S. Yeah. Oh, I just noticed you guys put the Hang on, let me do this. Oh, now it's not over there. Wait a minute. I've got to get used to these skill shots. I thought it was going to be in the flooring shot after that. It depends on which sequence you're in, right? If you already finished the first and the second one, then it'll be a different skill shot. Okay. I spoke his. No, I forgot what I was going to say. Oh, yeah, I noticed you guys put the tilt warnings right there. Thank you for that. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, we're excited about that. I think, yeah, Scott had done it on TNA and different things, and so we're like, yeah, that's a useful thing. But you will be amazed at the amount of debate about how to read those, right? It's like what people say. It's like, do I have two tilt warnings left that I can use, or have I used my two tilt warnings? Like how you think about it. You could do that presentation in completely opposite ways it would make sense for it's the blue dress, gold dress thing all over again. Like, no, that's not how that reads. Right. No, I look at them as you have tilt. You can tilt twice. Tickle, tickle. Everybody quiet. Quiet, quiet. And thank you. That's a scene I will never skip. Yeah. again we will put it real close to it alright so which one are you going to do are you going to do your cheater mode What do you mean my cheater mode Oh yeah let do my cheater mode Alright, you dare me? Steven, you dare me to do it like this? Yeah, do it. Don't do it. Don't do it as you wish. Don't do it as you wish with this. It's worth a lot when you get good at it. Or cheat if you're going to do it as you wish. But, like... And I put the, I do, it helps me to put the hand behind the back. And that's become a thing now in pinball launch videos, apparently. People putting their hands behind their back. But, um. Channel my inner Inigo. Practice, practice. There you go. Ugh! Almost. You got to get somebody. Two more shots. Oh, come on, Steven. Steven. Oh, nice. You guys get plenty of time, though. Oh, my God. This is the left-handed side, so all the stops are to the right. I can't. You know what? You know what? Let me get control of the ball again. Is that inconceivable? Oh, no, you didn't. Came back around. That was conceivable. Okay. Borg says they can do one-handed. I can see how you can get good at that. It wasn't too bad. I felt like I was playing one-handed pinball, but you're not. Well, you are. You are. You know, that's a base system setting, too, is that in any P3 game, you can go set it to one-handed play. And so if you want to have a one-handed beer tournament, you can on AP3. You know why? Because we got multiple buttons. And it's awesome. Oh, I'm still playing with one hand. Let's see, let's see. I'm trying what Josh said to do. Which is... I might have to increase my flipper strength. Because I lowered it, actually, from what you guys said it to. But maybe I shouldn't. See, the low light went out. Yeah. I lowered it to... I lowered it to... What's up, Michael? Nothing says pro like a one-handed P3 pad. That's what I'm talking about, baby. All right, let's do this for real. All right, all right. So, these are huge high scores. How does Jerry get the highest score every module you guys put out? Yeah, I know. It's crazy, you know. Jerry, Jerry. No, I see you. I see you, Jerry. Okay. Okay. Let's see. Not saying easy, just right over there. Okay. So, flip through. I want to show you something. Flip through with the buttons so you can flip through the high score tables. I just wanted to find one. Battle of Steel. Battle of Strength. Let's see. Where is that? Wits. Look, I'm the highest on Wits. Fire Swamp. I'm the highest on Fire Swamp. We got... There will be Blood. Got my sword. Well, Steven, you're... I just beat you on Blood. Go back to got my sword. Got my sword. Yep. Okay. So, you've already got the top two things right there. But see number three, TRS, right there? Mm-hmm. That is my dad. and this is all of our dads in there in Guide My Sword because you're asking your father to guide your sword. That's my little sweet moment that I tell you all about. And also, Michael's right, that Jerry is a monster. Jerry is a monster. Kugel's dad is still on the board. Well, I should just put dad up whenever I get that. Yeah, man. That's the dad mode. All right. Okay, everybody, you know what? Just let me play, okay? Everybody in chat, just... J-Rocket. Hey, Wesley. Yeah, Wesley. Not Wesley. Wesley. Wesley. All right. Let's go. No move. He hasn't turned on Twitch Connect. I haven't? No, no. We're not doing Twitch Connect today. I learned my lesson with Twitch Connect on, uh, on Heist. Heist is the nicest one because they can give you, they can choose to be nice. Yeah. Heist is good because you can give me an armored car, which is great. And we can, if they send you bits, it'll rain money down on the screen. Yo, look at my spinners. Look at my spinners. how sick my spinners are right now. Oh, no! That was a big move right there. Sorry, game. Did I get two tilt warmings per ball or per game? I don't know. Per ball, yeah. That was a little aggressive, Manu. Don't you think? I think so. He still had tilt warnings on the table, so some would say not a ghost of the nest. Oh, man. I missed it. We've got a... The Vile Flume, we've got an infinite ball trough in the back of the game. And we've got seven launch points that we can launch. Depending on the module that you have in there, we can launch it from any of those launch points. So we can capture a ball over here, we can launch one out over here. And they all come from different places in the back of the thing. to right there it just wants to fall and he watched it go right past the slipper well we can send it to an in lane we can send it to the slipper we can do all sorts of stuff it just depends on how the module is designed I always get cocky on that last one oh oh whoops wait oh no oh no Steven I channeled what's his name in Weird Al I forgot the mouse's name oh the mouse you mean the hamster Harvey Harvey Harvey and he's not a mouse he's a hamster yeah okay try it again we'll try it again alright we'll try it again oh yeah and if you use the Miracle Max oh Miracle Max can give you tilts back yes you can do tilt forgiveness the cliff the cliff Yeah, the cliff is very cool. I feel like you have something to do with the cliff, so... Oh, what the heck? Oh, come on. I got a ball space. Ball space, ball space. This is confusing. Uh-oh. I don't... I'm confused. I can't do that more. All right, you can cheat. I mean... Will you let me cheat once? I will let you... It's your game, man. There ain't no... I don't know what happens when you try and flip a right flipper with a left hand. All right. And you gotta flip it around the other way when you go the other way. So... This is real struggle, kids. I'm not making this up. Like, it's making... It makes no sense. Oh, my God. It's harder than it looks, kids. Look at me hitting... Look at me hitting Castle when I need to hit friggin' Florin. Oh, you got Kissy Mode ready. Yeah. Yeah, the struggle is... Ew. Alright. True love is lit. I don't want to do it. I want to stack it with something. I wish I was at Battle of Strength right now. Like, so bad. I wish... Look how pretty those lights are, man. Ah! It's all right. Make them kiss, though. Nobody seen the kiss yet. All right. All right. Kiss. Come on, chat. Kiss these. Kiss these. Kiss these. Oh, you can't stack multi-balls on battles. Oh, okay. Yeah, that matters. Because they've got their own multi-balls. You do as you wish on there. Which can be super lucrative if you can keep it up. All right. Three, one more, and you can set up the kiss. Don't go out. Don't go out. There we go. Okay. So, right orbit or side orbit. so close watch him struggle kids shit Oh my god, this is great. Okay, we got this right here. Oh, did I get it in there? Oh, it went... Oh no! Oh no! Side loop, okay. Wait, can I get it? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I can get it... Can I get it like this? No, not like that. You've got to do the inconceivable loop or the right orbit. Okay. Okay. You've got to want this kiss, buddy. I don't feel like you want it enough. Here we go. Is it a kissing book? Uh-oh. Oh! Who set the tilt warning on this goddamn game? It gave you a warning, and then you tilted. I mean, who put the tilt bomb in this game? I get negative 94,000 for tilting? Come on, you guys. As a therapist, I'd say you're really trying to avoid this glove thing. I got a couple more. I got a couple more in me kids And if you're willing to stick around You will see an amazing game This is gonna happen Steven I got like one or two more That's it Alright That's it Alright Alright Alright Why is someone else gonna play Shut Up Stinks Alright Hang on Hang on Hang on I'm good Here we go. Here we go. We do have a video of Jerry a long time ago hooking up his game to a P-Rock game and playing it, like, across the room on a keyboard like that, so I think it's only a matter of time before he can jack into your game and completely control it. Alright. There we go. you almost can't avoid those skill shots though it's like you don't need to do the skill shots but i know and but they're they're juicy they're right there for you they're right there it's like it's such a sucker thing though man because it's like you get drawn in the ball is wild and i don't know i don't know if you guys are you guys are not nice There's a nice ball fave on the first one though, I tell ya. Alright. I'm gonna prepare some stuff right now. I'm gonna prepare some stuff. Let's get some stuff prepared. Oh, bad idea! I'm trying to get shots ready, you know what I mean? So it makes myself, um... Why are you doing that? Throw an inconceivable loop in there, too. How do you feed an inconceivable loop, though? It is a... It's... You do the right orbit, and it comes out flying at that flipper, and you've got to hit it on the fly to get it. Or if you can get a lob over there, If you can lob it up there somehow next to that. Anytime the ball lobs up there to that flipper, I'm always taking a pot shot with it because you get lucky and get the inconceivable lob. And just hitting it the first time will light your pit of despair. And I love pit of despair. Look at how wide this shot is. Oh, yeah. But it's not a safe feed, right? That's what's crazy about it. It's a wide shot, but it's not a safe feed. So it's rough. It's hard. get that farm away, alright, so two, get to the other side, I got two, alright, alright, I got two, alright, okay, you can't, you can't mess those shots up kids, the easy ones, you gotta, you gotta at least get the easy ones, I love that he's in this game I'm on the Brute Squad You are the Brute Squad Now the stand up targets What are they What are they doing initially That one that one and that one Yeah so they're part of the They're qualifying The captive ball feature So Every time you hit them it lists one of the fighting styles it's like oh you know Captain Feo you know like every time you hit them you're going through all the different fighting styles that they mentioned and once you got all of them then Captain Ball is lit and you've got a certain amount of time just to wail on the Captain Ball for your future oh cool it freaked me out when you guys this is I think the first module you have with the Captain Ball and it freaked me are you done it before TCR has a Captain Ball but it's like behind the it's behind like a like it's in there but it's behind like a light up fluorescent light up piece of plastic that you hit and you knock it back so when there was a ball when there was a ball in the game before I even played the game I was like wait they gave me an extra ball and I'm like no there's no that's a cat's paw alright here we go I sure hope Kevin did better than me on his stream I feel like I feel like everybody gets better than me on their streams. Not me! You want to feel great? Get your first stream of this game posted on the front page of Twitch and have a thousand people see you beef it on your own game harder than you've ever beefed in a game in your entire life. I saw that, Stephen. I'm sorry to say. I watched that happen, yeah. It was awful. And of course, not demonstrable of my exceptional pinball skills in the first place. No, of course not. Of course not. All right. All right. Let's... Holy smokes. You know what I want to do? I want to actually check my flipper strength. I lowered them. Thank you, Josh. It was no risk to Steven. I did show off the incredibly awesome move of doing an as you wish with battle of wits and then immediately drinking the poison dying I remember that I increased my flipper strength on the right because I brought it down to and I don't remember why I brought it down to I'm not sure why I brought it down to so I guess I'll talk game progression with people just wondering if you look on the once you get past the farm boy you'll go back to the you've got the four characters there right and each character has a certain number of dots on them as you complete these modes each mode will give you if you complete it, it will give you the progress on those characters. So like, oh, I did a Westwood mode, I did a Buttercup mode, I did a Fezzik and an Ego mode, or whatever. Some modes have multiple characters, some modes, like Buttercup Nightmare, only have Buttercup. But you make each character up past a certain threshold, and then that character is qualified. And then you complete them, and you've completed the character completely. But if you qualify all four characters, and you complete all three mini wizard modes, then you get to go to four white horses, which is the final wizard mode. And it is hard to do in a single ball game. I do not shame anybody if they just come their way all the way to the wizard mode on this. So using save states is what it was built for. So people like me can get to the wizard mode. God, I've got to find that inconceivable shot. I got the castle up because my flipper, my coil power is a little low. What are we doing? We've got to do Mowage. Yeah, do Mowage. We've got to do Mowage for the folks, for the kids. Mowage is great. So you're making shots. They start off with Buttercup and Hunker Dink right next to each other, and you've got to make shots to move them further away. and then once they're a quarter of the way then you gotta finish it up by getting the castle playing together and if you finish fairies if you beat this mode then the state of the game will change alright so now let's have the equips buttercup oh boy and Humperdinck still Humperdinck moves he's on the orbit now oh I was looking for a bounce M-A-W oh okay oh you're kind of spelling M-A-W-I-G-E yeah you spell M-A-W-I-G-E with those six shots to get them across to get them set up and the last one is to close it out and you go to the it makes so much more sense after you visited it once. Oh, and then this is another cool feature, is that while you're doing it, you've got points on each shot. You can hit the outside orbits to shift the points to one side or the other, so you can make one shot really valuable between the two, between Humperdinck and Buttercup, depending on which orbit you hit. So there's a lot. If you want to dive into the rules of this game, there's a lot of really big strategy rules in this game, because Colin did an excellent job of coming up with some really deep strategy stuff with this. Or you could just play it to see the video clips and see all your characters that you love and just experience it all. So much of this game is two shots away from the start button if it takes two shots to go into one of these regions and start the modes. The wizard modes are a little bit harder to get to, but you can get to the wizard modes. You don't have to complete the modes to get to the wizard modes. You just got to play all three of the modes in that section, and you unlock the mini wizard so you can play it. So if you wanted to see Fire Swamp, you don't have to beat all three of these. You just got to survive, keep your ball alive, so you don't burn all three balls before you get there. I got to Fire Swamp yesterday. Believe me, I did, kids. Not playing like this, though. This is the thing where it's really super cool. I must have had Weird Al for eight months or ten months before I even discovered what shirts were. right and they were in the game but um once i discovered how powerful the shirts were my scores went up like an order of magnitude right because i was you know we're not talking about weird al right now but i'm just saying speaking to the depth of some of these um games is like if you you know assume that these games don't have depth um i i i strongly disagree and the fact that this game was coded with this nice motif of, oh, it's a pretty movie and da-da-da, but then down underneath there's like a dragon. Like, if you do this, you'll get a billion points. Like, I'm looking at these high scores on the board and they're like 12 million and I go, okay, I'm getting a million. I see people streaming this game, they hardly break in a million. There's got to be a path that we're not taking and that's why I appreciate, like, the developers and the length of depth in the code, but you get there. You'll get there. I'm not in a hurry to do it today. It's not going to happen, but maybe I'll have Steven on in six months and we'll... I'll be flipping this way different. Trust me, guys. I mean, it could be me. Like, my pinball ability is bleeding off on you right now. I think that might be it. Well, you know what? I'm just changing my lanes, too. Like, I wasn't changing... I noticed, don't drain, don't drain is a path. I noticed in the settings you have the ability to change KISS letters with the actual flippers. Yeah, if you want to, you can do that. Mostly again, I love that. They do that? Okay. Yeah. Typically. I won't say that for all of them, because there's probably one or two of them that don't. I know even back in Lexi's days, you could switch it if you wanted to. How is this possible? Oh, how is this possible, kids? Two more. There you go. Big points. Right there. Big points. Bam! You got the VIP shot. Nope. Conceivable. I'm coming to get your scoreboard. I'm coming to get your score, Borg. Let's do something we haven't done. Battle of Strengths. Oh, no, let's do Stevens. This is the Battle of Lits. Battle of Lits. Okay. Don't drink. Drink the poison, right? Don't drink the poison early. You've got to build up your Iocane immunity before you drink the poison. So if you drink it early, it's very good. So what happens is you've got two shots that are labeled with the challenge. Thank you, Michael. You've got a strong one. The one that's forward is the one that's lit to drink. You've got the other one. you can switch the cups. Like, let's say we're shooting on this side and you want it to be safer. Hit the, I believe it's the, it might be the center ramp or the captain's ball. Yeah, center ramp will switch the shot, I believe. Switch the cups. So, if you're going to work on the left side and it's the right side, you can do it and it'll switch the goblets. I can do that. Man, that is an unfortunate pass that the ball just took. every one of these modes is not that hard well there's some modes that are hard i wouldn't consider that's a hard mode that's just like a pick your shot and go mode yeah but i just saw two red lights on your table you could have saved that you could have split it see if it's so weird the thing that the hills i decide to die on are so random with pinball in general three options for kiss letters lower flippers upper flippers are thinner. You know what I want to try? I want to try this. Settings. I don't, I don't, I don't particularly like the, I like changing lanes on the white buttons, but I want to try, um, where is it? Is it general? Anybody remember where the lane change, where was it's not in general I want to try to find it before someone tells me max gameplay gameplay general I got no idea I just like it I trying to find it before the main control I got it Got it Ah ha ha Ha ha Lane change control Lower flippers Ha, ha, ha! I was just trying to... I was trying to just beat J. Coog. All right. One more. Last game. Here we go. Here we go. I got to get an instant conceivable loop. I got to do a lot of things. I got to get more Miracle Maxes. I got to learn how to beat the game before my son does. Ooh, that was powerful. Got it. Ah, it's so nice to be able to get that extra farm boy. It's so nice to be able to get that extra farm boy. Find a nickel for every time you said that. Shut up. That sounds gross, right? It's so nice to get that extra farm boy. Steven's like, I'm not saying anything. Yeah, trust me. My son is going to be the one to do it. Got it. Greedy. I'm greedy. I'm a greedy man. Inconceivable. Yay! Now you got your pit of despair So you got some cushion there You can earn your way back Oh Oh I I think I know why I lowered the flipper strength I don't know I have to catch an arrow or something I got one of this shot Stephen Is that good? Yeah cause that It's what Double scoring for your jackpot When you go up that way So it's It's worth It's worth more for every because that's the harder ramp. So every ramp you do, you get more points. So if you went up the cliff entirely with that ramp, it'd be, I guess, twice as much. This is the easier one of the three, right? Battle of Strength. Yeah, and if you've got an As You Wish, you can use that on this one and beat the hell out of everything. Okay, let's do an As You Wish. And now everybody gets to see it roll down the hill. Yep, let's do an As You Wish. There it comes. That's the ball up there. It's going to roll this way. Skill against skill alone. He's so reasonable when he says that, too. Ah! That's one hit. Where is he? Where is he? I see him. Oh. Ah, keep me in. Keep me in the game. Keep me in. Keep me in. Oh, he's right there. Wait, I see him, I see him. I missed him. Got him. Up the middle. Wait, up the middle. Wait. That's the deal. When you get as far as you can, if you lose one of the balls, it's done, right? It's hard, but it's really, really lucrative if you can pull it off. and not so much two balls. Smash more targets. It's worthwhile to bring two balls in and try to smash more targets. I let that ball go, by the way. I intentionally let it go because I thought I was done. No, because you were going to get to phase two where he jumps on your back. It jumps on the back, and then you've got to choke him out, basically. You've got to hit that thing to bring his health meter down. So here's your pen and his spare. You got three shots because you're on the easy one. you hit the first one, you get an add-a-ball. You hit the second one, you get an add-a-ball. And then you hit the third one, you're done. But you can't drain a single ball. You drain a single ball, you're all dead. Or both of them at the same time. You can do that too. Alright, I'm done. I'm done. I gotta watch that back. But it's three shots, right? It's center ramp, left orbit, and then the left ramp, right? If you can get in a rhythm and knock all three of those back, then you come back, but you come back with zero tilt warnings because you're not quite dead. You tilt once, and then you're done, right? So you lose all your tilt warnings when you come back from that, but you get to continue your ball. so now that's the first time you played it the second time you played if you get another pit of despair he comes in and he throws at the 50 and they're like not the 50 and so now you gotta hit 4 hits in order to survive it the second time because it's the harder version so yeah but I'll say this if you tilt you can still play your pit of despair to try to save yourself but you automatically get the hard version if you tilt and you go there so oh okay So you can come back and revive yourself from a tilt, too. So if you've got a pin of despair in your back pocket, you can get a little rough with your game to try to save something because you've got another chance. How does this game feel compared to other pins? The play field looks wide open. I'll tell you how it feels because I don't own, but I kind of help operate 57 pinball machines at Free Go Watch, and then I'm often at the Pacific Pinole Museum. Have you ever shot a Batman 66 or maybe a World Poker Tour or let me think of some other games. So it feels like pinball. It's a weird question because, yeah, there's not a lot here yet, but it's the same shots kind of. You know what I mean? And I find it a little more forgiving because whenever you have a game that has targets right in front of you, they're going to come ricocheting back really fast. But you can get a module like Heist, which actually brings physical stuff down here to mess with you, or Young Martial Artist, which is free, which will bring the crane out that you have to kick the crane. Gah! Gah! So, yeah, I think World Purgatory has the longest shot ever on any pinball machine with way in the back. but no it feels just fine like I've played you know games like Spider-Man right that looks pretty much the same as this that's that's Doctor Octopus right I mean Doctor Octopus is over here Sandman is over here so I get that question a lot Steven it's like how does this how does this how does this shoot because the play feels wide open well there's all there's the scoops right here that'll open up that you still have to shoot so the idea is still you're still shooting things right you're still shooting stuff well and the big part is that it's more obvious when you're watching a stream, you're looking at it from the top down, right? Because we've got this big strip between it and the lower play field, but every time this comes up, people will go and they'll take their games and they'll lay out a piece of paper on it and they'll be like, okay, this is this compared to this game, or compared to this game, compared to this game. There's usually like one feature that's a little bit lower down or something like that, that's you know, and the whole point is that, like, you know, like we can do this, like you go look at Attack from Mars or any of these other beloved games and stuff like that, you still get this, you still get the same amount of shots it just looks more prominent because we've got the the wall and scoop assembly that are further over that provide that breaking link, but go look at a Weird Al and see everything we packed into that game go look at all the mechs that we packed and go look at Heist and all the shots we packed into those games and then compare them to other games and you'll see there's a whole lot of stuff that there's a whole lot of stuff that we can pack into these games because of what we're doing. And they absolutely do because the shots feel different. On the same playfield, right? You'll open up a third party game, like Dungeon Door Defender feels completely different to me than Heist. On the same exact playfield. It makes no sense to me that I can be in Dungeon Door Defender, and I can be getting my, what is it, Rogue and my Mage or whatever, and then I'll go to Weird Al. I mean, not Weird Al. I'll go to Heist, and I cannot start, like, Wheelman. It's the same shot. It just feels different, and it's just weird. I don't know why. And this screen is awesome because we can change the whole context of the world that you're in for every mode that you're in, for every context that you're in, you know. And I can make you all excited to make the big kissy at the end of, you know, True Love Monkey Ball, you know, just by splashing hearts all over the screen and this other stuff. And you can do some of those things with lights in the play field, but, you know, you can't play the video clips right there in front of your eyes. you know and um so led zeppelin pro yeah i actually like led zeppelin we got a led zeppelin um at the shop i wonder if this one's hard storm in the castle yeah so it's moving scoop shots that you gotta do he's going across the screen you gotta hit it and eventually you gotta light the fire and you gotta keep chasing oh oh Oh, oh, oh. Oh, this is Harvey. Okay, I can do Harvey. All right, so we got another one. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. There we go. There's it, and now you got to light the fire. That's on fire. Wait, they're red. Yeah, now it's on fire. So they're going faster. It's on fire now. Oh, shoot. Oh, shoot. Ah, you can keep them both. Got it. I got it. You got to do the final shot, which is your favorite shot. Right down the middle. Your favorite shot. I will say that that's the very first time I've ever done that. Yeah. So you keep going, keep going, and you got to end it by getting in the castle, by storming up the castle. Oh, okay. All right. I've gotten... So, this is the thing. I'm shooting Castle now. So, I'm doing... When I first started playing, I was doing floor, floor, floor, floor. And then I started going Gilder and I never shot Castle. So, now I'm shooting Castle right now. And I'm seeing... I'm seeing a whole new game right now. I'm kind of seeing a whole new game, kids. So... Right at the end of the stream, you're seeing me get... new stuff. I love that P3 pass. It's just a... Let's do this. Miracle pill. What does that do? It means if you drain, you come back to life immediately. Oh, that's my ball save? It's like an infinite ball save right now. Okay. All right, let's go. You get your regular ball save first. Once that's expired, then you get your miracle pill. I'm not going to touch you. Give me about a week, you guys. A week of constant play of this, and I will get... Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. This is getting dicey. wow oh I got one last jackpot one last jackpot ok so now you have your miracle pail right there between the flippers so it doesn't come back so you can do whatever mode you think is the most risky right now, and then you've got the miracle pill to bring you back. Oh, really? Yeah. What's a risky mode? Let's see. Whoops. It's risky if I just flip, and I don't mean to flip. Okay. A true love multiball is risky, because are we truly ready for the kiss? I don't know. Oh. Well, I just blew my miracle pill. Let's come back. I just blew my miracle pill on nothing. That's alright. Well, I'm gonna, I'm gonna spend some time and learn this game. Cause this is, this is, this makes, this just makes me smile. This is so cool. There's so much here. I gotta, I gotta get used to this. Alright, so what do you got? Yeah, drink. You got my sword. What do you got? Blood? Yeah, you do blood. Okay. Was he just telling me to go faster? Yeah, he was. Okay, let's see. T-R-U-L. So hitting these side targets starts spelling true love? Is that? Oh, no. Or is it kissed? Oh, man. There's so much for me to learn. I bet Steven's like, I'm tired of telling you over and over again what to shoot. We definitely have a little mini indicators there for that. You can still keep making progress on True Love. Yeah. You spell True Love on either side to start True Love, to qualify True Love Multiball, so you can still do it in the modes. You just shrink them down so they're not in your face. I got rhyme time. Now you are in the second phase. Oh, did that score that shot? I don't think so. No. Oh, come on, Manu. Post pass. Shoot. Can I make it that way? No. Oh, too late. There's a lot of time. Nine, eight, seven, six. I'm going to go up the middle just because. House. Oh, I got two behind. But I'm figuring this out. Uh-oh! And that's a turn. And I lit true love. Look at that bonus. So while you're doing, while you're spelling true love, you can go through and you'll notice that when you hit them, the letters will turn from pink to red. You can, you can re-spell true love for, before you go into it and you'll get a better multiball, more valuable multiball. Oh, you can do it twice? Yeah, if you spell it again before you start it, then you get a boosted version of it. There's even a zero way that we're going to get to get through all these rules today. There's lots of boosts in the game. There's lots of different strategies that you can do. You can say, oh, I did this. That's why you get those yellow buttons. You can flip over and see. You did do something where you got a boost on something. and we got the big pop-up that said you got to boost on something, and there will be blood tonight, earlier, while you were playing that mode. Okay. Yeah, you can do that, and it'll make your decision about, like, do I want to go for the Nervous Streak, or do I want to go for the boosted thing? I can save that for later. There's a whole lot of ways you can tackle this game and go through it. Or you can just play it and enjoy it. That's what I'm doing. Focus on... I'm doing that right now. What I usually do is I will focus on one region that I want to get to the mini wizard mode because I know I don't have to beat the modes to get there. Like I always say, I'm the representative for the terrible players out there. I always play it, and I can tell people if it's really beating up on us, us terrible players, and we've got to figure out another way. And so I like that I can fail the modes and still get to that mini wizard mode. I can still play the Fire Swamp or Miracle Max or To the Pain and see those modes and experience them. So, and each one is so different, you know. This is so much fun. This is so good. I mean, I don't know what, like, you guys really went to town on just the love letter to this movie. It's just ridiculous. Well, and like I said, we got, we were lucky. We were able to use basically everything. We got everything. And we were able to put it all in the game and make, this is the first time old machine that we're playing that you feel like you're playing the entire movie. You do. There's no Access they're missing I mean You might spend a long time Not experiencing a fire swamp Because it's hard to get to Right But you It feels real rewarding When you get there And you're able to do it And then I think that Four White Horses Is a really super cool Wizard mode When you can get there And you can So Once you get into it And you go through Go ahead and use those safe states To go experience it Because it's cool And the music The music is so awesome Right Like You know I've often gone upstairs and I'm washing the dishes and I'm like but you get into the multi-bubble stuff like Paul Fair is our music he does all the he does all the music for all these big network shows over in the UK and stuff like that like the Chaser and all this stuff he's a big deal over in the UK huge deal over in the UK and he does, we were looking for somebody who's like, it's a tough ask Because, like, make music, but make it in the exact style of this music. And everything in this thing feels like epic versions. This is not from the movie? The music is not pulled from the movie? So we licensed a couple of songs, right, because they're great songs. So we licensed a couple of them because they're iconic, and we were like, we want them in there. But, like, when you start a feature, there's an amplified version of that that feels like it's in the mode that picks up the energy. When you go into the multiballs, those multiballs are completely original. So like Almost all the modes have original movies Original songs that are In the style Of the movie they feel like they fit right in Like they could be in the movie And do all that so Yeah he did an amazing job My guy you know what I just noticed We're wrapping up right now thank you so much Stephen For being a part of this I want to do something real quick Because I just realized Like I say I just got this game Two days ago like two days ago. Here, let me switch to let me switch to this. I just noticed how freaking steep that rail is. That goes from the cliffs to here. I've never seen like look at how deep that is. That's a roller coaster. That is a freaking roller coaster. Yep. And then TJ's solution for making it roll down the hill where it pops down it releases that one side of it that one rail and it goes down the hill I loved that I looked at the mech the mech here is basically hold it unless unless the mode says as you wish and then it just lets it go so the weight of the ball actually lets that thing drop so there's nothing to break there you know what I mean this is X-Men before X-Men This is a broken rail before broken rails happen. This is very cool. And Matt killed it on the art. I love that. This is one thing that I've got to give credit to Jerry on because Jerry's like, I think it would be awesome if you saw no exposed metal in any of the rails or anything. The flaps have decals on them. We've got a complete continuous art package all the way up that ramp. you always see the the spring still ramps um that are that are breaking the the artwork there we can we can put little details and a little art in there you've got the little picnic scene up there on the on the top of the the hilltop there and you've got the the the castle where the the ruins up there at the top where they do the fight for the for the battle of steel up there at the top of the cliffs and everything and it's just like all the little details that went into all the plastics, all the artwork, everything on the game are just amazing. And not only that, but he also did like a whole bunch of full-size playfields, because when you go into the digital art on the screen, too, because if you go into the wizard modes, the entire scene swaps out. You'll notice when you did Pit of Despair, it swapped out for the Pit of Despair background. And so like, when you do an art on a traditional game, you've got one play field, you do it, you might have an LE package. All of our games typically have, okay, do that, But do that like eight times because we need to, or eight or 16 times, or like Weird Al, we had every mode in the game needed their own custom environment. And the living backlash on it, you'll notice like there's actually motion to the characters or whichever backlash you've got. Have you, yeah, you've got the standard edition, right? So you'll see it go back and forth between them. You'll see the parallax between the two characters, and then they will switch to the Dread Pirate Roberts and the princess. where this is farm boy and farm girl right now. So if you watch it long enough, it will... Your trans light is moving, you guys. Your trans light is moving. That's a new thing for you guys. It's lenticular. All right, let's not get carried away. I just like, if you look at the screen there, like in the main play field, we've got ripples going through the water when you're playing. You've got little eels that are popping up in the water and stuff like that. Like all these little details in this little storybook that we've got down on the play field that, you know, I think are really cool. And like I said, Matt, the whole team, everybody killed it on this. Like Rory was doing amazing stuff with the graphics and everything. And, you know, we just everybody that Colin's rules are awesome. Like it's awesome when you get somebody that cares about score. I don't care about score. I care about I care about story and pinball moments and things like that. But then you've got somebody that's like, let's make all these really interesting strategies and things like that to put in there. You know what I just did? I just turned off the border. You can have the border. So if you guys look over here, you can turn the border on and off if you want. Yeah. And if you got the LE package, you've got the option of the LE backlight that it translates to. No, I don't have that. I'm too cheap. Yeah, it's all right. And also you didn't think you had room for a topper, but now you do. Now I do. Steven, thank you so much for doing this. I hope you guys enjoyed that quick look at Princess Bride. I'm excited. I have another really deep game in the garage, and it's like, I feel like I cheated because I have three full games in my garage. This is exactly why I bought this system. I could go over to Free Go Watch and play one of the 57 games, or I can come home with one cabinet and play one of three games or I might have nine games. I'm not sure. I have a lot of games. Dungeon Door Defender works on here. Have you played Dungeon Door Defender on this play field yet? I tested it once and it works great and it's a little different than the heist one because the shots are a little different. Shots are different, yeah. But, yeah, I can play Weird Al. I can play Barnyard. I can't play that. I can't play that. I can play Diagnostics. That's a fun game. Oh, that's the best game. I could play Dungeon Door Defender, Heist. I want to get Lexi. I could play Rocks. I could play Young Martial Artist because I can download it for free. And Erica has a bunch of games. She has different games. Thank you, man. Appreciate you. I like this thing. I'm going to come over here. So I've got my wall of the games I've worked on up here. So there's my Heist. And then here's my Weird Al. and then signed by Weird Al. Princess Bride. This is... Cariola's signed by Princess Bride. Oh. In the factory. So, yeah. I gotta... I gotta get my... I gotta get my Weird Al put up like that. That's pretty cool. Steven, what are you working on next? What's the next game? Come on. You mentioned it before and I don't remember what you said. Yeah, yeah. What I said was... Oh, his sound just cut out. I'm sorry, guys. We're going to have to call it for there. If I can get what he said, I'll let you guys know in the Discord. Thank you so much for joining us on Mr. Impenball's Theater. And we'll see you next time. Thanks, Stephen. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bits. Follows. Follows. Subs. Good. Gifts. Gifts. Raves. Chats. Thanks. Thanks. Hmm. History. Mystery. Perf. In ball. Pinball. Beer. Theater. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah!
