    And here we have Zach Wallen's defending champion, he won this last year. And Lawrence, a fun fact about Lawrence And Lawrence, a fun fact about Lawrence is his favorite pinball machine, I've never met anyone else, is Uncanny X-Men. And I know a lot of people, you know, have feel differently about that, but Lawrence, he loves it. He loves it so much. Yeah, it's crazy. I think once they Yeah, it's crazy. I think once they polish up the code on that game, it's it's going to it's going to rip, right? And one one problem with X-Men is like if you don't own one and and kind of dial everything in yourself, it's just going to be a very rough game to play. It has a lot of uh issues on location It has a lot of uh issues on location for sure. This is a location and this is definitely the most well-tuned X-Men I know. Uh the plunger almost always goes around. Uh you know the other things. I won't Uh you know the other things. I won't list out the five [laughter] typical challenges. All right, here we go. Lawrence. Lawrence uh snicker doodled me on this last round. Uh he came back and I don't even see how he saw it. I couldn't wa watch and then I was like, "Oh, I was going to be up a lot. Now I'm down." All right, let's see what he picks for modes.
    3:16
    Now, interesting thing about the settings, this is tournament settings, is he did just start a mode and now he can start multiball if he and now he can start multiball if he makes progress. But you can start multiball, qualify, and start a mode on this um where a number of tournaments don't allow that. So, I bet you will see more often than you're used to seeing people just trying to get to a multiball first and start to mold afterwards in in the and start to mold afterwards in in the multiball basically. Yeah, 100%. Uh, but Lawrence, he's an Yeah, 100%. Uh, but Lawrence, he's an iconic class. He does he does him, you know. Uh, let's see. Yeah, you could see that coming unfortunately.
    4:03
    This is Zach's favorite game, I think. Yeah. And he he owns one. Yeah. And he he owns one. Yeah. Yeah. Um and also, of course, I think the last Um and also, of course, I think the last time, actually, the last time I was on commentary was the finals for Cal Extreme, and Zach was in a Walking Dead, and I kept talking about the remaster. Walking Dead. Yeah. I was saying the remaster. Remaster. And uh as if it were going to be a thing. And as if it were going to be a thing. And look, my sources were right. It's a thing. It's a thing this week. Tuesday. Oh, okay. Sweet. I just hope they don't Oh, okay. Sweet. I just hope they don't make it too easy. No, No, cuz it's fun. How Oh, well it's okay. cuz it's fun. How Oh, well it's okay. Everyone's just starting their roads anyway, but that looks more uh unintentional. Let's see how this is. Yeah. Yeah, that magnet can some sometimes Yeah, that magnet can some sometimes Oh, he got a save on it. Get out. Oh, he got a save on it. Get out. Um Um and how many dangers did it take? and how many dangers did it take? He got He got two. He got He got two. Yeah, Yeah, you can move this machine. And you have you can move this machine. And you have to like almost try to tilt it, which is nice for a Walking Dead. Mhm. Mhm. So, let's see. He's He could just play So, let's see. He's He could just play Barn depending on the feed. Yeah. If this is the business. Yeah. Yeah. If this is the business. Yeah. He's thinking out loud there. He's just like, "Am I going to go for the drop or just shoot barn?" Yeah. Yeah. And also chilling. Ooh, got Yeah. And also chilling. Ooh, got fortunate there. He almost got dead bounced on the joint and lost it, dude. Yeah. Look, he he's going to want dude. Yeah. Look, he he's going to want to lock in uh food to get his blood bath going or qualified. And then you have to qualify before it gets going. Sack usually goes for blood bath. He's Sack usually goes for blood bath. He's he he's thinking long term usually. I'm very surprised he did that cuz um he I'm very surprised he did that cuz um he made the barn shop. Maybe that's cuz he knows, but he could have um you know, just touched it a little going around and locked in the wrong uh item, but he didn't cuz he's he's great. And uh Oh, he locked in the wrong one now. That's Yeah, it was surprising, but um That's Yeah, it was surprising, but um because he had the ball in our trap, he because he had the ball in our trap, he might as well just secure that twice in a row. Yeah. Um a few things. twice in a row. Yeah. Um a few things. Zach seem is a generally honest person, but um but the hat is a lie. He is that innocent. Very innocent. You got to be careful uh Very innocent. You got to be careful uh talking about Christmas around him. Don't mention that. You know, Santa Claus. [laughter] Yeah. Yeah. I hope he can't hear this. I hope he can't hear this. All right. Sean, local legend, recently engaged, uh, and he met his partner Amy, who is also a local legend, and, uh, represented the bay at the Godzilla Stern thing. Uh, they met, uh, here, I believe, in they met in League. There was didn't not Quang didn't play. There was didn't not Quang didn't play. It was Amy. It was Amy. Right. Right. But he, uh, It was Amy. Right. Right. But he, uh, that's where the two of them met. Yeah. Amy was there. He was actually, uh, second place. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There was a family Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There was a family ordeal which worked out well for uh them both which worked out well for uh them both going and so you know that thing I said about and so you know that thing I said about like uh people probably start multiballs before modes is 100% incorrect so far but it I only only Lawrence seemed like but it I only only Lawrence seemed like it was intentional cuz you're not going to turn down a mode cuz you're not going to turn down a mode obviously if you qualify it. Yeah. Oh that post pass did not go. No Yeah. Oh that post pass did not go. No CDC. CDC. So, since he's playing CDC first, we So, since he's playing CDC first, we won't see the crazy Asher thing uh that I would like to do where you you play barn and then you keep idiot and it could be worth a billion something points. Okay. Oh, no. Oh, no. The other thing about this is I The other thing about this is I typically think of well walker as like easier to get to. Mhm. Not in this case. Um because it's the Not in this case. Um because it's the default tournament settings, but I think once you hit it a bunch to get it to the phase where it starts showing you a number, it's seven. Oh, Oh, there's a bunch. there's a bunch. Interesting. Yeah, because we we Interesting. Yeah, because we we followed this game yesterday as well and nobody was going for walking, so there must be a lot of shots that needs to be Yeah. Yeah. made there. made there. And you know, you can do the like on And you know, you can do the like on your right flipper, backhand it, try to get it just like to the right side of it so it maybe goes up a little. Feels a little safer. Grace it a bit. Yeah. Grace it a bit. Yeah. See what Dan does. See what Dan does. Dan's family is from the Baltimore area. I learned that is where I and my family I learned that is where I and my family are from, but he was born in California. So through some it was probably like a Disney Channel movie type thing. I don't know how that happened, but everyone's from there except Dan. All right. Interesting.
    8:38
    Let's see. Yeah, you really if you have the option to hit the uh the prison magnet deal during ball save, you do. I wonder if he'll still do it or either it might happen by mistake or save it for ball two. Oh, yeah, he does it. All right, let's see. Okay. Yeah. Okay, he knew the deal there, Okay, he knew the deal there, but I he might seen that uh the other but I he might seen that uh the other player did the same thing. Got two warnings and it was cool. like some magnets kind of like it's a little unpredictable fun. This one really throws it straight down the middle and it doesn't do the um like go up slightly and then down. It feels like they're throwing a fast ball at you. Yeah. Yeah. Um he's probably fine with that, you Um he's probably fine with that, you know. Get in get in prison. You'll see there's two hits towards prison for Lawrence. Now, if I were to counsel Lawrence, try to get those going and then do your do your drops. I don't know. I assume he knows that he can start the mode during drops, but we'll probably be able to tell from what happens here. Yeah, the doors are disabled on this Yeah, the doors are disabled on this game as well. Yeah, that is that is a blessing. Yeah, that is that is a blessing. Yeah, because that is very unpredictable Yeah, because that is very unpredictable if it even registers or whatn not, right? Having the doors there solidly. It's just like if as long as you get the ball up there is register, right? Because it's the opto that in front of the doors that will register for the shot. Yeah, good point. And it's funny how Yeah, good point. And it's funny how like this game is great. I love this game, but um it's like you want you don't want the doors to open, disable that. And then on the the premium, you don't want that stupid head popping up either. No. No. But uh the remaster, they're not going But uh the remaster, they're not going to have pros. So I'm Yeah. Yeah. It's going to have that stuff. It's going to have that stuff. Yeah. And I I wonder what they're going Yeah. And I I wonder what they're going to look like. Like you know, the crossbow on the premium and like that is kind of like a very custom thing, you know, with a custom apron and and now they need to build a new apron with inside connected in it. You don't know. Are they going to do that? Right. That That's my I think they're going to remove the I think they're going to remove the crossbow. Really? Really? Yeah. Yeah. Well, that would be very interesting Well, that would be very interesting because like Metallic had had these small hardware tweaks, but it was the same mech, the same it was the same mech, the same everything. So, that interesting. Well, let's see if that plays out. Uh I guess next week we can All right, let's but watch what's going All right, let's but watch what's going on here. Lawrence swell guy. You know, first ball wasn't that great, but he's probably getting over not getting to play X-Men. Hopefully, he makes it through and is Hopefully, he makes it through and is able to. Yeah, X-Men is in one of the banks, Yeah, X-Men is in one of the banks, right? Yes, I believe so. Yes, I believe so. Probably the one everyone picks first. I Probably the one everyone picks first. I don't actually Dan didn't number one seed. It's kind of confusing. Yeah. Yeah. All right. All right. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, so it is possible. One one move. Oh, so it is possible. One one move. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, he was sort of like Yeah. Well, he was sort of like Right. Yeah. throughout playing back and Right. Yeah. throughout playing back and forth and didn't quite get our warning. So, he got everything on one slate. Are we able to see the chat? You have so Are we able to see the chat? You have so many screens. There's the chat right there. There's the chat right there. Okay.
    11:42
    All right. So, going blood bath. Blood bath is good. We like blood bath. Oh, yeah. All the things people are writing in chat are true. I've seen lots of streams where they they bemoone chat or say they don't know what they're talking about. This chat knows what it's talking about. Yeah, we only got true ones in this Yeah, we only got true ones in this chat. Hell yeah. Well, you know that's because Hell yeah. Well, you know that's because of you. You establish this community. And thanks for streaming. Trying hard. Trying hard. All right, there he goes. He did lock it All right, there he goes. He did lock it in this time. Two more for prison. Does he try to start blood buff first or start prison? He's got food locked in now. So, He's got food locked in now. So, actually, I would definitely start actually, I would definitely start prison because um he can he has to clear that and now do it again. Uh but you know, whatever. That's a a chill morning for Zach.
    12:42
    So, is he going to play blood bath without prison? Is that what he's trying to do now? It appears he's trying to start it. I mean, he will definitely now either go for prison or, you know, if he Yeah, I mean, he he can still get Yeah, I mean, he he can still get prison. Yeah, exactly. All right. All right. I Yeah, exactly. All right. All right. I was just surprised that it seemed more dangerous, but uh he's very good at pinball. And it looks like he's going for prison. He's not um either working on the drops or focusing on Weller. Make more progress towards that. Yeah, he had a couple of misses there Yeah, he had a couple of misses there now. So, he did. So, it's like, you know, the one he did. So, it's like, you know, the one there's a few things you really don't want to do. You don't want to uh lose your blood bath without addabs. And uh you don't want to, you know, not be able to stack in another. This is the situation. Let's see what happens. Can he grace it? Oh my. Okay. Well, now he just wants to Oh my. Okay. Well, now he just wants to not die. Trap up. Oh, okay. Wow. One away. And if this were the premium, he would have had a button press ready, he would have had a button press ready, you know. Oh, yeah. Changes so much. You could Oh, yeah. Changes so much. You could just like do whatever crazy thing you want cuz you know you can do it. He's got cuz you know you can do it. He's got Riot. Yeah, he was in such good shape there with Riot and Blood Bath and Prison coming out there, but didn't quite pan out. I think this can do quite a lot of I think this can do quite a lot of damage anyway. 100 100%. Yeah, 100 100%. Yeah, he can do uh he can do uh he can work again on Blood Bath, but of he can work again on Blood Bath, but of course it's like more work and he's not going to do that. But now he's got to be thinking Walker. Let's see how many hits. Is it seven? He's got Oh, he's got the bicycle girl. Everyone loves bicycle. That's gone. Yeah. So, his score is uh has more digits than the other scores, but he's probably thinking I would trade with some of those because uh the opportunity cost. Yeah, Yeah, he's far from prison. He's really far he's far from prison. He's really far from blood bath. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He basically cleaned Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He basically cleaned out now without the number on the board that he wanted. Great ball. Great ball. Great ball. Great ball. Look at that sports personship. Look at that sports personship. I love it. Yeah. And he's wearing Tim's branding on Yeah. And he's wearing Tim's branding on his t-shirt as well. That is true. So, he's rooting for everyone else. So, he's rooting for everyone else. Okay. Well, let's see if he tries to do Okay. Well, let's see if he tries to do terribly. He didn't yesterday cuz he got a buy. And I wonder if there's some connection And I wonder if there's some connection with the uh the Zack hat. Oh, no. That was in sync. I was going to make a Britney Spears thing. Okay. All right. Be cool, everybody. Be cool. Oh my god, that is Oh my god, that is bubble. Do you see that? That uh rebound bubble. Do you see that? That uh rebound into Woodberry was pretty cool. Let's see it. Let's see it. Dink.
    15:15
    That was the first danger. Donk. Another dword. And here we go. Nice save there. Nice recovery there. Nice save there. Nice recovery there. But yeah, that's like the uh super skill you could that's like the uh super skill you could do on some Metallicaas of just uh pulling it back and and not flipping. And it goes into mystery. Oh, sorry. you were saying. No, it was no. Yeah, I don't remember. No, it was no. Yeah, I don't remember. You were a good recovery. You were a good recovery. Yeah, good recovery. Yeah, I mean there Yeah, good recovery. Yeah, I mean there was like a really good save there from the prison, right? Or from the from the from the second bad feed.
    15:50
    Yeah, that's a good question in chat there. If that rebound is repeatable, right? Can you just make the the the tunnel shot and have the ball just kind of nicely feed into Woodbury? You got 2X going. You got the Woodbury? You got 2X going. You got the extra ball. You only need 5 million to win. Can you hit the tunnel? Yeah. Yeah. Let's Let's see if someone was watching Let's Let's see if someone was watching and and gives it a shot.
    16:13
    All right. So, he we know what he's about. So, yeah, sometimes the ball does not get all the way up and uh you know, no real rhyme or reason why the auto punch or the manual punch sometimes happens like that, but it does.
    16:42
    All right. So, let's say I believe it's going to say seven. Five. Okay. I am confused. That's cool. Well, five is better than seven. Uh, well, it's easier.
    16:59
    So, what are you going to do here? what he's doing. Yeah, it seems he wants the well walker. Yeah, it seems he wants the well walker. Mode choice Mode choice barn or riot.
    17:21
    Yeah, barn seems to be the favorite people are going for, but a mist barn is a very dangerous place to be. And I guess both of the modes And I guess both of the modes uh are going to send the ball to the same place and coming out of the pops. If there's a machine you can't move, uh If there's a machine you can't move, uh maybe the mode choice is arena cuz as long as you can keep hitting it, you can keep hitting it. you can keep hitting it. So that's repeatable similar to CDC, So that's repeatable similar to CDC, right? But if CDC, but arena, is that worth more or but arena, is that worth more or Well, it it's worth a ton if you can Well, it it's worth a ton if you can keep repeating and repeating and also cuz you're going through if you have like uh the shop multiplier to put on that for the for a collect or even a bigger one. Like I think it can be massive. It's just not uh people usually pick it because well, a few things like the entrance to the shot is closer to the flippers so it could be more dangerous if you miss it. It's a bit narrower than CDC as well. a bit narrower than CDC as well. Yeah. And you're not almost ever trying Yeah. And you're not almost ever trying to shoot that during the game. So, you don't have like practice of So, you don't have like practice of dialing it in. No, that's right. No, that's right. But it is cool. And uh when I was in a But it is cool. And uh when I was in a tournament on a uh on a Tilty Walking Dead, it seemed like a smart plan.
    18:36
    And the other thing about Reena is it's not uh super desirable to be in multiball with it. No, because you you must have a clean shot to to to nail it, right? And in a multiple chaos, it's very difficult. Totally. Totally. All right, but let's see. Here's arena. All right, but let's see. Here's arena. Do it. Lawrence, do Oh, he was going for it. He wants that arena. I want him to get it. Is he going to post pass for it? Does he care that much? No, he's just picking his drops. No, he's just picking his drops. He's a gambler here. He's a gambler here. Fortunately, he keeps not locking in weapons, which is the one he needs to uh make more blood bath progress. So, now we need to So, now we need to All right, arena. All right, let's do All right, arena. All right, let's do it. Show him why this is the way. Okay, never mind. And he locked in the wrong one. Yeah, we And he locked in the wrong one. Yeah, we better to post, right? I mean, it's so easy to time it when you had to have it on a trap, but he's locked in food now. So, and he and he picked arena. I I was and he and he picked arena. I I was like, I bet he's going to just keep doing this. Let's see if he does now. Uh, nope. He's using it to transfer to setup shop on the bank to hit the wrong uh item on the bank. Yeah. Yeah. And I guess it's cuz he can't get to a And I guess it's cuz he can't get to a full trap there. Oh, there it was. You would have nailed Oh, there it was. You would have nailed it. Now, now food. Now, now food. This is it. This is it. First aid. More clip. There we go. First aid. More clip. There we go. Weapons locked in. Something that will be cool hopefully on Something that will be cool hopefully on the remaster is away from stream to be able to tell which drops are down. You could do something with coloring the LED, you know. Maybe maybe someone with great eye acuity could figure it out right now. All right. All right. Yeah, that's super hard to see. Yeah, that's super hard to see. And one more. And one more. And so that's Yeah. So And so that's Yeah. So All right. Blockbat is ready for All right. Blockbat is ready for the next for for the next for the next the next for for the next for the next ball, right? I mean, this is ball two, right? Ball three. Ball three. It's like it's all or nothing strategy, It's like it's all or nothing strategy, which is cool. Except I don't think he needed all or nothing. He needed uh something now. 28 million. Two people are behind him. You know, maybe they don't get anything going, but yeah, I don't know. Lawrence.
    20:48
    All right, let's see how many Zach needs. Two. Okay, cool. So, it looks like he's going for it. He's not going to try to like set anything else up cuz he This is ball three. You want to start it and that's Yeah. Okay, let's see. Can you hit it twice? Two hits in the registry. Two hits in the registry. This is what happened to me on my ball. Except I didn't save it. One away. All right. Heck yeah. Let's see now. Now, can he time it to get weapons? Oh, he's trying to get the extra ball. Oh, he's trying to get the extra ball. I don't know. It's I mean, he does have I don't know. It's I mean, he does have a lot of points and 2.5 million is cool, but I would think Yeah, he blood bath would be Oh, wait. His blood bath is far away. He already played. Yeah, he needs to down it like twice. Yeah, he needs to down it like twice. He has to do the whole sequence. He's He has to do the whole sequence. He's now locked it in. He has to do this and then he has to do all the items again. Yeah. Yeah. So, it makes sense why maybe you're not So, it makes sense why maybe you're not going to be fully uh focused on that and see if there are other points like an extra ball. Oh, nice air defense there.
    21:49
    And that's the end of the multiball. Yeah. Try to be a surgeon there. Yeah. Try to be a surgeon there. Yeah. Now, I think it's start a mode cuz Yeah. Now, I think it's start a mode cuz you're far away from all your multiballs. So, let's see what if he Let's see him do the arena. All right, let's see if he hits barnshot a bunch before. Okay, this could be neat. This is the uh thing. There's a video about it on YouTube. So, you hit barn first. So, you hit barn first. You hit barn. You hit barn. You hit barn a bunch because look, it You hit barn a bunch because look, it said it added 500k to CDC values. Oh, and there's a sequence of like hitting and there's a sequence of like hitting barn. Okay. Yeah, Okay. Yeah, hitting barn some then you hit the CDC I hitting barn some then you hit the CDC I think and then maybe after that you hit some barn some more and like there's also a chart that shows how there's also a chart that shows how stupid big it can get. Okay, so that's some exponential Okay, so that's some exponential multiplier kind of thing. You were saying billions. Is that what that shot? Oh, I don't know. Billions. I think Oh, I don't know. Billions. I think somebody there's probably a video of user getting a billion on a shot. I'm not sure. Someone in chat probably knows and could even provide the link. It's really neat. Uh but it's also like there's time Uh but it's also like there's time issues too. Counting down. You might do setup, setup, setup and not get to the payoff. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um but of course clearing the drops if Um but of course clearing the drops if you could do that in between can add more time. So okay, Raymond got the intel there. Born okay, Raymond got the intel there. Born builds into CDC which then builds into CDC then builds into CDC into 1 billion. Wouldn't that be Wouldn't that be I wish there were a bounty on that for I wish there were a bounty on that for this tournament cuz there are people here who can do it. Yeah. We need more tournaments with Yeah. We need more tournaments with bounties. Yeah. Isn't that fun? Yeah,
    23:40
    Will he make it? Three more shots and no, he will not. Three more shots and no, he will not. And uh let's just hope let's just hope I'm just going to correct the rig a I'm just going to correct the rig a little bit. Big move there, big guy. That could I don't He wouldn't have had That could I don't He wouldn't have had that much bonus, but I mean 10 million and the next player has less than 4 million. It's not the craziest thing to think of It's not the craziest thing to think of situations where the tilt could cost Lawrence a point.
    24:18
    People do say they look alike. I think they were um twins for Halloween. Like the movie twins. Who were Who were uh Kuang and Lawrence? Maybe. [laughter] uh Kuang and Lawrence? Maybe. [laughter] I'm not sure who who is who. I'm not sure who who is who. Oh, it's hilarious. Oh, it's hilarious. All right, Dan. All right, Dan. Dan's letting it uh letting it settle and maybe letting himself settle. Mindset is so important.
    24:45
    Yeah, this is a tall order, but if anyone can do this on one ball, here's the guy. Well, and it's fun because he has Well, and it's fun because he has increments to hit 10 million. After increments to hit 10 million. After that, let's uh let's get to 30. After that, let's get to 150 or 125.
    25:06
    Three more well walkers. Two more well walkers. All right. If he gets this, uh, Kong is in trouble. All right, so it's gonna come down to the speed and he will sell out if this is going to be close. Throw the machine across the room if you need to, and he doesn't need to. Hopefully, he backhands this far enough. Yeah, cuz some backhands were clipping the non uh sensor part. Okay, see like that. If he had done that, it wouldn't have started. Yeah, it kind of just clipped there Yeah, it kind of just clipped there without getting you anything. Now, how Zach was uh eyeing up that extra ball. That extra ball could be very useful to Dan. 2.5, but he's probably thinking bigger and better than that. Mhm. He looked He already got Lauren Mhm. He looked He already got Lauren already got sorry, that's the last time. [ __ ] you. That is not coming back.
    26:03
    All right. Oh my. What shot does he want to multiply? Nothing really huge on the table. All right, next. He has his eyes set on 28. Actually, I don't even know if he does. He might just be like playing.
    26:23
    Yeah, bicycle will not get him where he wants to go, but it could get him a good chunk here. Extra ball. Oh, no. He's got a mode, too. Arena. Arena and and beat everyone. I Arena. Arena and and beat everyone. I want to see it.
    26:36
    And the good thing about arena 2 is the final shot would have been that shot cuz now he's got an extra pop speed to cuz now he's got an extra pop speed to deal with. But now if you just go CDC and bicycle But now if you just go CDC and bicycle girl, at least he will catch the next player on 28 million. He's going to do barn.
    26:55
    All right, let's start the barn. let's start the barn. 18 just uh three barn shots maybe with incidentals. I don't remember how much the first one's worth. He's cool. He's cool. He's got it. He got it. Like two and a half or something. Like two and a half or something. And that is a good save.
    27:22
    All right, here we go. Oh, those misses. Yeah. Oh, he's he's doing a good job of Yeah. Oh, he's he's doing a good job of not freaking out. And he's changed his mind. Now he wants two prison shots. He's like, "Screw this barn. I hate the country." And that was smart. And that was smart. Yeah. Yeah. Let's see where the ball Yeah. Yeah. Let's see where the ball goes. Oh, now. Now now. Now he was so close to it. I thought he was he was so close to it. I thought he was further away. Yeah. All right. Blood bath. He's got barn.
    27:52
    I think the the bicaro might have been totally run the bicaro might have been totally run over. Not available.
    28:02
    Oh, there's a burn shot. You know, did he come came back? You know, did he come came back? Maybe. Did it? Maybe. Did it? I'm not sure. It didn't show, but um no I'm not sure. It didn't show, but um no more ball saves. So, he's probably hoping to get control. control. Some people can control without having to stop playing. That's cool. That's like Dan.
    28:22
    He probably wants to multiply a barn shot, though. He's actually, it looks like he's avoiding it to keep building up the shot multiplier. His blood bath is quite far away. Mhm. Mhm. He's passed Kong now. So now it's all He's passed Kong now. So now it's all about the defending champ. Will the maybe future champ pass him? Huh? Number one seed. I wonder how he spent his $100 for I wonder how he spent his $100 for top qualifier. top qualifier. He was at He was like, I need that He was at He was like, I need that money, Jared. And that's only half a joke he actually was. But
    29:01
    he's going, okay, what am I doing? He's going for mode/b blood bath.
    29:09
    He had a heavy sigh of uh weary world weariness. All right. Yeah. Hey, good comeback. He moved up two two places. And what do we got next? two places. And what do we got next? Uh the next game in this bank is Dude, I Uh the next game in this bank is Dude, I had it on Slack here. Evoli, Evoli, the Shadow, and Medusa. Some games might have been swapped Some games might have been swapped around. I need to uh go check. Okay, I'll I'll I'll keep them entertained some somehow.
