It'll be a bummer if you do this whole stream and you don't get it. I think I have to get the deputy to get that going. Yeah, okay.
1:22
I'll send it. Somebody's got to work around here. It's not going to be me. I will send that clip to you, Lowe's, because I was like, oh, that's close. I think that's close. I think I was drinking. I think I had a little bit to drink.

    2:37
    I can see just fine, the table right now, but anything close to me, I can't see. But here's the thing.

It sucks getting a, uh, I lost, first I lost my hearing, then my memory went, and then I lost my hearing.

    5:39
    Oh, that's... Well, let's play this and then I'll let you guys know. The one that's going here is Pulp Fiction.
    5:50
    Pulp Fiction, because CGC they didn't... Whereas they didn't really create it, but they are distributing it. So CGC, boom.
    6:00
    Pulp Fiction right there. Alright. Do you know how to play this? Yeah, I played the original, and I did the remake once at CA Extreme. Okay. Cool. Well then, sir, I will let you start. You first. We have the topper cam up at the top. Now we have to, I heard, and, and, I'm sorry. No, go ahead. People in chat, let us know. You have to at least get to deputy to start the topper is that correct maybe low snows
    6:33
    i'm wearing my glasses today so you're locked in oh it's just bashed the beer a bunch yeah because wasn't wasn't the beer mod or the beer wasn't in the original right or no it was okay but it wasn't really utilized Yeah, I know the code wasn't too good. Yeah, it was never finished because of Pinball 2000. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They were trying to rush that out.
    7:06
    So apparently you have to do the beer. I was going to do a slap bag. No, this is a warm-up. This is a warm-up.
    7:15
    You need a lot of beer for it, though. Okay. I forgot how many shots. Somewhere between 15 and 20. All right, that's cool.
    7:23
    I'm just going to spin it. Let it go. I'm wearing my glasses today guys, so let's see maybe if I play better.
    7:33
    Apparently not. Alright, let's get that bad guy. Let me lock some balls. We can hit the beer. So Andre came here the other night and put up 304. And the only reason it's 304 is because they had to close the shop. So he had to drain.
    7:59
    That's wild. Cactus Canyon is one of my favorites, but I never really put up big scores on it, honestly.
    8:08
    You will today. That was a back-to-back quick draw. That was crazy. That was nice. Salty Boo owner. Wow.
    8:17
    Butter, butter. Crazy drain. What's up with Boo, man? Why don't you like food? It says shoe dot lit at 10 beers. A lot of people are getting over the honeymoon phase of food. For sure.
    8:37
    I don't want to wear my glasses actually. I'm going to try something. My glasses are right there. Don't forget. Not only can I not see but I'm also old. And I can't remember stuff
    8:58
    Just a great warm-up, come on Just a warm-up Just the warm up. We just figured out where the flips are.
    9:27
    Foo's fine. It's just Stern forgot about it and put no code out for three months. I don't know. Motherfooter, I feel like... I don't feel like that was a long time before... I don't know. I'm not defending Stern, but I don't feel like that was so terrible.
    9:49
    Combo! The code on 2 was pretty good in terms of there was like already too many wizard modes and then like one or two wizard modes. I agree. I feel like the game shipped with a really good code base. I feel like the game shipped with code, which is rare.
    10:24
    I feel like the game shipped maybe a 9.1. I can't remember. It doesn't feel that deep. I don't think, yeah. Here's the thing. One thing I like about Foo is that it's not an L1, right? Where, what's up, Pink Ninja Man? It's not an Elwynn where you have to go so deep, so deep, so deep. Foo reminded me of Guardians. Like a less complicated Guardians of the Galaxy. Before Venom came out, Foo seemed the fastest to me in terms of just... ...care from the love. Yeah.
    11:14
    The layout is not wanting you to stop and think about where's my next shot going to be. They just want you to go. So the code kind of reflected that.
    11:31
    No mother load there. Pink Ninja Man. Pink Ninja Man with the... I think expecting a code update in the first three months that our minor bug picks are asking a lot. Yeah, I'm going to ship my initials in your law, man. Let me see what PinkNinjaMan just said.
    11:55
    However, I also think that pins should ship with finished code. They used to. Remember when pins shipped with finished code? I don't think I was born then. No, you weren't.
    12:06
    Isaiah definitely wasn't born when code was shipped. When pin ship finished Constantly do that bad live catch So they say beer They say 20 shots of the beer will do that Top of Oh no way No, no.
    12:44
    You think so? Yeah, T's heard it. It says, like, Polly's blood is high on the track. I think she must.
    12:55
    Pin designers would never be promiscuous. Never. Never, never. Why not Angelo? What was that one you streamed a little bit ago? 8-Ball?
    13:08
    What, on the B-Pin? Yeah, with the code match. I don't know what you're talking about, Isaiah. You go first. No, no, actually, I go first. Yeah, go ahead. All right. And then what we'll do is we'll play singles. Yeah. Yeah, let's play singles. We're going to do another one. I'll get some games of Zillow in, too, while you're doing singles. All right. I've got to get back up on the leaderboard. Oh, you hope I play that long.
    13:32
    All right, here we go. First thing I like to do is get that lock ready. What is that? Oh, it's focusing on the rig part of the rig. Oh, is it really? Is my camera focusing on the rig?
    13:56
    That's alright, I'll fix it. Oh, that was terrible. Is it focusing on this? I am not going to Expo this year, I'm sorry kids. I'm taking an Expo vacation. Were you able to go to CA Extreme this year? Yeah, I go every year. Nice. I only go one day now. I only go like half a day. I went Saturday, Sunday. I won one of the raffles. You did? Yeah, not the food one. I got a Castlevania poster. That's pretty cool. For the Game Boy. Yeah. And then I got a good deal on a Nintendo 64 game there too. That's it. It's back in business. Hello. Hello, Luigi. What's up Astro Is this the Chicago Gaming Edition Yes it is It is the LE If you look up top We're hoping to get up there soon What's up Splud Who uses autofocus You know what I don't Look I don't care I don't use autofocus actually But that camera is stuck on autofocus And that's the way it is right now.
    15:29
    I kind of don't care that it's on autofocus. But I will turn it off. I almost nanoed that one ball up to the... I need a jackpot. There we go.
    15:48
    That is not a mother load. That is a collect. I need a white water ramp so bad. Nope, nope. All right, give me, keep, keep, keep. Nope, you won't get me that quick. Last minute. Nope. All right.
    16:24
    Bad guy. Lazy Losa, you're not doing the Pinball Olympics? Here's the thing. Pinball Olympics is the best thing about Expo.
    16:41
    Pinball Olympics is the absolute best thing about Expo. And you can get in. Oh, crap. That's tough. Oh, man. What was happening there? That's a hard way to go. I know. What was happening? Hopefully I'll get something going here.
    17:05
    So I think I know how I got to the topper mode before. I got bad guys like crazy and I just think hammered on the uh... the beer. Right down the middle. Yeah.
    17:31
    Our local machine gets sticky buttons sometimes. Oh, that's gross. Let's see. Playing pinball with a shape weight is... Where can I put my glasses? Oh, I can put them back in the case.
    17:54
    Alright. Isaiah's like, come on old man, play pinball. I know you're not. Let me stop putting words into my co-host's mouth. I'm just glad to be here.
    18:12
    Have you considered joining a team? I am on the wait list for SF pinball department. Don't wait for the SF pinball department. Just get on a different team. Get on the Otters, man. I've looked through a few on... I have, like, 10 more teams, but a lot of them are just old. Like, they haven't been updated yet, so... I thought you meant the people. No, no, no.
    18:42
    I was... I was on the Otters for a while. It's a good team. Fun people, really good people. But, no, I used to do tournaments at... My local place called BA Start in San Luis Obispo. Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah. Cool. They just opened maybe a year... not even a year ago. I was only able to do two before I moved at that point.
    19:12
    I mean, it really depends on if you want to, like... It was cool how they've been revealing new pins, like, each tourney. So each tourney we have a new pin to play. So last tournament that I missed was Venom and then before that was The Walking Dead. Walking Dead is fun. Yeah, The Walking Dead was fun. I finally got that working on V-Pin. It's hard but it's fun. Uh, Schwank. I'm on the fence if I'm going to Eskild for the first time this year. Might wait until next season to kick it out. No... Man... I'm just not finding any shots right now. That's okay. Alright you want to put one up on your own Yeah I give him a round Mano you got me everything You got me I sorry Kingtronic Sorry not sorry Thank you for subbing at Tier 1. 34 months. Cozy smokes.
    20:18
    Can't play Olympics in the big IFDA tournament. No, that'll be a clash. I think you won't... I think you gotta pick one. What do you think you're doing? Either Olympics or the IFA.
    20:44
    Hey! Just instant multi-ball, right? You get multi-ball on a cricket. Who ever thought of releasing more than one ball on a pinball machine? That's insanity. I didn't know that. I mean I got a few jackpots. Your whole goal is that mother note though. Yeah. Well, I know that there's a strategy to get showdown going at the same time as a multiball. the multiball so that way you got both those multiballs stacked. I almost got that going one time on the pin. But it is kind of a pain to get that started. Oh by the way, flipstream. I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying Deckmate. If I could tell you how much I enjoy Deckmate, I'd have to kill you.
    22:00
    That's a tough one. That is a tough one. Okay, we're back in it. They put it right in. Yeah, there it goes.
    22:09
    We'll get that one. Yeah, Flipstream wrote an app called DeckPage that controls my screen. And I have been beta testing it.
    22:36
    And I absolutely love it for all of its features. And I'm not even joking. You've got to break 14 million. I'll give it my best shot. Same one. I don't think I can...nope. There it goes. So it is like a steam back except it's a little bit more of a... So it is like a Steam Deck, except it works with Sammies.
    23:24
    So you've got the two major deck controllers are Screamer Bot and Sammy, and Deckmate works with Sammy.
    23:37
    And it's actually freaking amazing, and I love it. Stream Deck, Stream Deck, Stream Deck, the only armor, yeah. Stream Deck, I was saying like if you were using a Steam Deck for a Stream Deck that would be a very expensive use. A little 8 mil would take it. just so much going on with cactus canyon like no matter what you're doing you're progressing with something yeah so i just like want to keep just comboing yeah and like not really follow a specific thing it's silly fun though this is one of my favorite games so i remember seeing this game for the first time and i thought wow this is insane yeah with the guns i was like wow and i think i i think i did my first score i put up on it ever was 14 million and i thought i did great And then the next guy came up and did like 60 million. And I was like, oh, I'm not that good. First time I saw Cactus Canyon was at a drive-in theater. Really? Yeah, right in like a little snack bar. They had Elvira and Cactus Canyon. I just remember like... Was it a scared ship? I think it was scared ship.
    25:01
    So Cactus Canyon. I remember playing Medieval Madness like before I even knew what it was. And then T2. was like my big one. Oh, T2 was great. T2 was so fun. T2 was the, uh, one of the games I started, one of the first games I learned the rules on. Yeah, that was the first one I learned. Also being a kid and just seeing the gun as the handle, it just like blew my mind.
    25:35
    Somebody wants service! Where are you? Oh, I just missed you. That's what you want. You want to nick him and keep going. Shout him in the leg.
    26:04
    Alright, marksman. Oh, man. Look at how I keep cheesing that shot. That shot is fun. Alright, I finally did the thing I wanted.
    26:20
    Alright, I need beer. Oh, I got my rank advanced? No, I did that. Oh. I need beer, Isaiah. Yeah. Trying to get the topper. Yeah. That's a hard shot to keep hitting over and over. I know. It just wants to go right down the middle. I think I went into quick draw, where you get the two ball multi ball and then if you kill four guys you get another ball. I did that mode and I think I beat up on the beer at that point. Oh same one for me too. Ah! Showdown. Got him. I feel like you want to hit him but keep going. Ball saved! Yeah! Thank you! Woo! Ball saved! Woo! Don't lose it now immediately Manu. Yeah, showdown multi ball is probably my favorite part of the practice game. Just be happy to pop out and just flipping away and trying to get them as quick as you can. And then be rewarded a ball for each time you don't fall. It's cool. You get a bunch of balls! Oh no.
    27:50
    I'm telling you that, when you kill a bad guy it feels so... combo that wasn't a combo feels so good when you can shoot a bad guy though It's good when you shoot the bad guy and then when it bounces off and just drains. That's one of them. That's a tilt there.
    28:20
    I'm not going to do it. Man, the tilt is so freaking tight on this thing. Come on, that was a normal move.
    28:28
    I really do want to loosen that tilt. And that's all, folks. Just letting it settle. Alright, what do I want? I want a ball lock. One, two, three, four. Like four spins. One, two, three.
    28:47
    Ah! Oh, where'd he come from? Have you been able to like insta-plunge the like the lasso thing? My friend did that once. Insta-plunge the lasso? Where when you punch, it doesn't spin, just straight down the middle. Oh. Uh, kind of.
    29:12
    Yeah, I saw my friend do it once, and I was like, I didn't even know that was a possibility. Oh, look at that.
    29:19
    Got it. One more. Here we go. Give it to me. Got it. Mother load. Boba Fett. Boba Fett. I was trying to hit the mirror at that point since I already got Motherload so what do I need Holly I mean... Okay, they made this mode much easier though. So, rescue Polly. And that's your fourth bad guy that just popped up. So, that should be your last one for a quick roll. Alright. Oh no! Help me! No! Help me! It's so dirty. Oh, game! It sucks so much.
    30:47
    Come on! This is impersonating. You good if I do a one? Go ahead. I don't care what you do. Damn game. It's a damn dirty cheat of a game. Now I was trying to review the rule book I still am not too sure what the trick shot is That you get on the plunge Oh okay You know If you ever play I'm going to stream it again Cactus Canyon continue I was really hoping Physical AFM video mode.
    31:34
    Hit the damn beer. You can do it. Save modded. Cactus Canyon Continued is a wonderful bit of code for this game.
    31:51
    It's amazing. The only way I got to play Cactus Canyon Continued was in my V-Pen, because they were able to put the code on.
    32:02
    It's just great. It's just great. I was really hoping they would put it on this game, or at least use some of the ideas.
    32:10
    There's a super skill shot in Cactus Canyon Continued. If you hold a flipper, you can get into super skill shot mode, which you can make a shot and start a mode from a different pinball machine. Same guy. It's almost that guy. All right, let me off the slings, please. Nope. Okay, that's not what I meant. So there's a Circus Volterra mode. There's an Addams Family mode. There's a medieval madness mode.
    32:51
    It's really good. What are you all doing on chat right now? Are you all at lunchtime or something? Are you finishing your day up?
    33:09
    Now we're probably playing, I guess, Relaxing on the couch Quiltronic is relaxing looking at At a racing sim That he's going to purchase Motion sim chairs For his racing Yeah I said in About two streams ago when you brought up the motion That the only like interesting Peripheral I have is a Microsoft Flight stick And I remapped all the controls For Dark Souls 3 and I played and beat the first boss on stream. You're insane. With the flight stick. I can't even play Dark Souls with the mouse.
    33:53
    Hey, what's up, Becca? Excuse me, he is what? Becca, no, he's not. I'm joking. I am honestly joking. I am putting words in Jordan's mouth that are not his words. When I said he I should have said I have an issue with pronouns It's a 21st century problem Yeah Probably play Venom First time for sure Venom is fun Hopefully we get the premium soon Hey Matt When are we getting the premium for Venom? Venom I don't know I gotta play it I don't know.
    34:36
    I put it only in Calvary Street and I was like, I'm going to sit down with it. I thought it was like right away jumping on it. That thing broke me. Yeah, it was broken at Calvary Street.
    34:49
    They have a lot of premiums though. Which part of it was broken? Just the U shape that does this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It sucks when that's broken because a lot of the game is broken.
    34:59
    Yeah, in a public setting I could see how that would be kind of an issue. yeah matt has to worry about how it operates not from a home standpoint but from a whoa
    35:10
    but from a uh there's two beers i think unless it's not gonna count how many jackpots you got left here we got one more You show me the new stuff to buy every day.
    35:34
    I never know if you're just browsing or not, Fliptronic. Oh my god, I started a fight. Have you beat Venom yet? No, I kind of stopped playing Venom a little bit because it makes me nervous. Yeah.
    35:48
    It's too fast. Yeah, I was playing it in Stockton and every time it would shoot out of that right spot. Like when you go to try to stop it, it would jump over and like into the outland. Yeah, that's... Yeah, it's gotta be pitched right. Hey, sorry I missed your call. I'm just calling you back to let you know that I love you. Wanna play two? Yeah, let's do that. You go first, since I got a higher score than the last game. Who's keeping score? I don't know, no one. I'm not. What? I'm just hitting the shots, man. I'm not crying, you're crying. I'm here for a good time. Or a good time, call Manu. 5-5-5.
    36:45
    5-5-5. M-P-T-3-K. M-P-T-3. Hi, Becca. Becca, you're not going to be around for the video riffs tomorrow? We're riffing videos, guys.
    37:03
    Most of which that have been picked by Jordan. Both of you have zero top rematch We'll get there I'm there, yo, Carlos I didn't know that was what we were shooting for Los, I will get there for you, baby I just wish I could hit that Shot right there And so am I
    37:35
    Train. Combo. I gotta get the stampede. That's my goal, actually. Shit. Shut up! The guy who owns this game is right there, so I better chill.
    38:05
    But your tilt is stupid, game. Did the train move on the original? The original Cactus Canyon, did the train move? Yeah.
    38:35
    I think the mechanism is a little different. Nope. Oh my goodness. Barely. Marty, we gotta go back! The worst flipping of my life.
    39:11
    Back to the future! Also, now everyone knows what my life is like. Nothing but YouTube videos from Fliptronic that I either ignore or watch 23 seconds of before I get distracted.
    39:26
    Becca, we have a lot of videos to watch. It's the same number of videos we always watch on a video real life. Which is like three videos plus a bonus or something like that or four videos per session i don't know right hey maddo have you been keeping up on the pinball fx remasters hey mystery j do you work for uh pinball effects because you ask that all the time No offense but Yeah it a lot of asking
    40:13
    Just curious. I saw a wild hog getting eaten by vultures today. Nice. Thanks for sharing.
    40:31
    Remember, any chat helps. I miss Becca so much. Oh, my God. Gold mine your mama.
    40:51
    Damn it. I can't hit that middle off of the. That's got to be one of the best multi-ball call outs. The gold mine multi-ball. Is that it? Yeah, it is.
    41:01
    I know, I know, honey. I'm trying, honey. Oh, come on. Dang it! Dang it! Oh. We're just going to remove the tilt box. This will be a no-tilt stream.
    41:28
    Did I tilt? No. It was just a warning. I'm surprised there are rubbers over there, actually. These guys take them off. Yeah, the rubber's taken off on Fu. I noticed that.
    41:57
    Does Fu ship with rubbers? Yeah, I believe so. I mean, there's indents in the thing for online. I think the only game that didn't ship with Robbers is Deadpool.
    42:09
    Let her die. Just forget it. Seriously, let her die. I guess we really are. She's like Princess Peach. She constantly gets in trouble.
    42:22
    Constantly in peril. And then she becomes empowered because Disney. Because Disney. so it's a fury pinball FX FX is pretty sweet okay lol I have asked that before I I don't I I don't I did haha maybe someone else did okay maybe maybe maybe you're right no rubbers on food
    42:50
    wait it ships with no rubbers that's what they're saying it's not like they took them off. The robbers and foo are in the goodie bag, not on by default. Ah, so if you're at home you're like me. You put those little stupid rubbers on there. If you're at Free Gold Watch, your hand's in there, like my job's done. If you're at Free Gold Watch, you're like, alright, we're done. Alright, I need shots to... I need shots to this, this, and this. That's a lot of shots. Oh, and that too. Yeah, Whitewater got it started.
    43:33
    Whitewater is tricky. Whitewater starts to flow once you get it. You know, you can backhand it. Yeah.
    43:46
    Middle! Oh no, no, no. No! Carlos, how do you avoid that, man? This is the bounciest outlane rubber I've ever seen.
    44:03
    That seems fun and inexpensive. I don't know if it is. I'll go. We're racing to get to that. All right, all right, that's it. The first to do that wins Cactus Canyon Remake.
    44:25
    That's the actual wizard mode. Carlos says sometimes you just can't avoid it. Sometimes you just don't avoid that.
    44:35
    Alright, I'm going for Stampede right now, guys. I'm going for Stampede. No more Motherlode, no more...
    44:47
    Done. That wasn't a flip there. That was a try and get control, not a flip. Get the outlanes. Ugh. Ooh.
    45:01
    Oh, oh. Okay, okay, that one. That one might have been something. That was... Yeah, that... That was Polly saying, I'm getting all wet. A little fan service right there. Yeah. Oh, you can't get it. From there. I really want that combo.
    45:26
    That wasn't even a warning. That was good. That was a sick save, bro. Damn it. Going up to the freaking... That's what I'm saying. We got to stop with those. They're not there. Hang on, I want to take a look at that replay real quick.
    45:56
    There it comes. Bow, bow! Ooh! Right off that tip of the right foot. He has moments where he's amazing, dude. I'm also going to try to go directly in the middle for the lasso. Nope.
    46:14
    Kind of. Is that how that works? I've seen it where it went straight in only once in my life, but yeah, if you want to get the first one, that's how you do it.
    46:41
    Not going for it. I'm not even looking at it. Motherfucker, you're priceless. It's a cool topper, but it's not as amazing as you guys think. There's one. All right? It's basically Terminator 2. There's two.
    47:03
    No, you don't want to do that. We want to see it. It's what the people want. It's a good topper, it's Terminator, that's all it is.
    47:20
    This is a nice physical version of Terminator, right? Love you. My boy I-Rob right here, he's gonna do it. I'm going to try to get a multiball and see if I can keep up. Let's see. He keeps talking about the top of it. Okay, Takakane is basically a much better champion. Hell yeah. Four out of ten. Mystery J, you got that shit right. 3J, you got that shit right.
    48:09
    Oh, he hit it in the face! He survived! I wish I had a... You could... You want a replay on that one? I need the button. Come on. You hit it square in the freaking face.
    48:26
    And it was right in the way of the multiball, too. That was upsetting. I better get over to here. Like that happens. All right.
    48:37
    This is just beer multiball. Beer multiball. Let's see. I'll look at the beer. I think I'm at five now. Halfway. Was that another one?
    48:52
    I love how you're shooting for the beer and you're just blowing the game. Here we go. Beer. Whenever I'm doing multiball, I just focus on getting them away from the flippers. Yeah. And everything just kind of comes naturally when you're doing that
    49:10
    There they go, that's my Julie Eight eight Valley break target. What's up Marty? Let her die. I'm sorry, Polly. It's just not going to work out between us.
    49:42
    Nope. Nine? Polly, you're going to die like the dude in Whitewater. Whoa. It starts off worth $20 million and then rapidly becomes less valuable.
    50:00
    I think it carries over, though, right? Yeah, I carry something. Okay, okay. I'm one away. Are we playing each other right now? Yeah. Oh, my God. Okay. I got used to this. Well, remember, the real challenge is the beer mug, and I'm one away. You are. Oh, so the challenge is the beer mug. Oh, okay. Listen to this guy. All right.
    50:19
    Chills up on stream one day all of a sudden. Let me see if I can do what you do. That's what you did right? Over and over Come on Nah forget it You can do it I killed him for you That one works for you Yeah that was mean
    50:53
    I don't know where that shot is, that beer mug is. Can you backhand it? Yeah, you can backhand it. Oh, you can't. I can't. Oh. I tried to just do a post pass and all of a sudden... Three.
    51:13
    You're going to die, Polly. Wait a minute, let me get around to this side. Oh, I want my beer mug. Not happening.
    51:27
    Pauly Peril. How about we take those rubbers out? Let's see. Nope. Too strong. I'm not doing it. I'm going for... Okay.
    51:46
    That was another one. I love that you packed it. Yeah, we're noticing everything in this game is actually dirty. It's covering the beer mug. They don't want me to get it.
    51:58
    Everything in this game is actually dirty. Got Bitcoin? What's up? Everything in the game is dirty. Just the... Just... That was a ball! Just the ball. That was it. You did it.
    52:21
    All right. I need that beer mug. There. Oh. Is that it? There you go. You're up top. So how do I do that? Left and right. I know you have to dunk. So you have to shoot. Kill the guys. Go.
    52:44
    Go. Yeah, I run. Oh, get him. Okay, okay. Oh no, you got shot once. That's all. Cow? Go, go, go. Oh, not the girl, not the girl. Oh, yeah!
    53:03
    I lost. That's my boy, 19 bad guys. So, that's like the new video mode then, right? Isaiah in the hizzah. There you go, mutterfutter. Bye. Bye, mutterfutter. You can leave now. Bye. Oh, I'm sorry you have to go, mutterfutter. Bye. Bye, Motherfucker. Ban him.
    53:25
    I'm a fan, Motherfucker. You didn't believe in us. That's a ban. I had no idea that there's that little minigame mode up there. Yeah, sorry. I had to do this. I was like, yeah. I forgot. The rig is right in the way.
    53:47
    Not built for us little guys. 56 minutes later. I never knew the topper did this. Yeah, that's a fun... It is. It's almost like the old 97. But I'm telling you guys, it's basically like...
    53:59
    Terminator. Yeah. Or are you in a United? Tungleland. One more? Yeah, I can do one more. He's got to go play Godzilla. He's got to put up... I can do the game of Zelda, but I have one more class today. I have to do a class right now. I think he's got to put up scores on Godzilla to beat Andre. I lost my fourth place high score, and I had to get back up there. Oh, okay.
    54:33
    It is a very fun Topper mode. That's the furthest I've ever seen anybody get through it, dude. You got the furthest I've ever seen.
    54:42
    Is it 20 to win? I don't know. At some point you get an extra ball, I think. You can kill enough guys.
    54:52
    It's pretty cool. I wanted to document that on my stream. Because I haven't seen anybody. I mean, I haven't been really looking for anybody to play it. But I haven't seen anybody.
    55:05
    It is pretty easy to get to Marksman. I'm not gonna backhand this. Nope. That was a dead pass actually, Manu.
    55:31
    Oh I can't hit that. Oh it didn't register. I hit to the... maybe it's I think it still counts it, but it won't show it. Devsave. Go for it. Right in the stomach. A true... a true end to a cowboy. What a brain! There are notable changes, yes. What's the Godzilla GC score on pre-go watch? Wizard Bear. There's two high scores. One is the insider connected one, and one is the game one. I think they're the same.
    56:10
    Let me check. Yeah, you can go see real quick. I think it's either one or two bills somewhere in there.
    56:37
    I've been everything around the shot. Yeah, they're different scores. So the Insider Connected high score on Godzilla right now is only 430-something million.
    56:56
    Whoa. Which is not terribly hard to beat. So that's the Insider Connected high score. The game high score.
    57:07
    Padre at 4.6 billion. That's a lot more than we're on top of. But that's before we had the leaderboards running.
    57:18
    Let's go. That's nice. The leaderboards inspire players here to... Obviously the leaderboards inspire players here to... You can find the leaderboards online too on the Stern site. Oh yeah, I set it up. I have it on my phone. I knew the exact moment that Andre blew it up.
    57:40
    And I kind of baited him. By putting up the leaderboards, we were really baiting him. We were like... You gotta get inside him. Yeah, we were waking a sleeping giant, basically.
    57:54
    Oh, my lord. And I know he watches my stream sometimes, and he knows that I know he knows that I know he knows that he knows. Yeah, we know. We know. I'm looking at you, Andre.
    58:11
    I'm not challenging you. No, no. I'm just looking at you. You know? Just making an observation is all.
    58:17
    Star Trek TNG shuttle sim video mode is similar but seems even harder. Uh, the video mode in Star Trek.
    58:33
    Now for the Tapper Mode, do you think holding the flipper or tapping it is faster? You actually have more experience than I do. Stop it with the Hot Rod video, Jordan! Oh my god.
    59:18
    Oh my god. Okay, maybe not. Got her. Oh, you did it. Nice. Got her. My literal hill to die on. I said you could use it once a stream. I didn't say you should use it once every stream.
    59:45
    That's why I limited it to one. Alright, here we go. I love it though, Jordan. And the new one is going in tomorrow.
    59:56
    The new one is going in tomorrow. Wait, Polly Carroll again? Oh it different mode How far away am I from Stampede Let see One shot One shot It just a shot away It's just a shot away.
    60:19
    Is that it? That wasn't it. I don't know what to say. Why didn't that make sense to you? That's what extra balls are for. I thought I had Holly, though.
    60:38
    No, it was Jordan. It's Sam Jackson. What's up, Six? Six-toe in the house. Nope. We're just going around that.
    60:54
    That was amazing. If you tried to do that... Alright, I'm just going to go around them. You're on my way. I gave up on trying to hit that one after when I hit it point blank. It just didn't work. Pardon me while I whip this out.
    61:09
    Hi, Pepper. Howdy, partner. Nope. Yes, showdown. Showdown. Let's do it, baby. Kill him, kill him, kill him, kill him.
    61:26
    Add a ball. He's got three balls on the table, ladies and gentlemen. This is amazing. Out of ball. He's up to four balls, ladies and gentlemen.
    61:44
    Out of ball. He's got four balls again, ladies and gentlemen. Fives. Keep throwing them in. Five balls, ladies and gentlemen. Start taking them from the other pins. He's starting to steal balls from Mid-Eagle Madness. Venom is out of all balls. There's a guy playing Addams Family. Not anymore. Addable! I love Showdown. It is my favorite part of this game. Addable! Bring him back. Bring him back. Addable! I'm getting tired of saying this. Never. Never get tired. day.
    62:27
    Out of ball! Ball save. Best move ever. No, no! It can't be done. No! Ball save. Ball save. It's on.
    62:37
    No, that's not a ball save. Yeah, it's extra ball. It's cool that the ball save kicks in whenever you add a ball. Yeah, you get a couple of seconds of that one. Hey, Pepper. I'm at six beer mugs right now. Sorry, Pepper. I know you guys streamed this game, but I just had to stream that up there. I'll try to get back in. I'm far away.
    63:00
    That up there is pretty cool for about 30 seconds, if you can make it there. Gotta do the splits next time I'm into it to see it. Yeah. I'm sorry I've locked you in.
    63:15
    I have a Marco stool if you need it. I'll send you my height and weight next time. Okay, alright. Age, height, and weight, and then we'll adjust accordingly.
    63:26
    By the way, if you're just joining us, this is Isaiah. Hello, everyone. There it is. I would say showdown is the best mode in this game outside of like the wizard mode showdown is the best especially like cause as you're progressing it makes the showdown worth way more points how many beer mugs is that seven don't think about it what a dig eight I said don't think about it I need it that's what I want
    64:17
    Hi Isaiah. Hello. Hello Pepper. Why hello then. Nine? Nine. I always said you drink too much man. I need ten or it ain't a good game.
    64:42
    Alright let's see. He went for the beer. He had a chance. Save the girl or drink beer. This is what is happening to the men of modern America.
    64:56
    Go for the beer. There it is. Now you go for your cave. Now I'm cave? Yep. Boom. Here we go. Look up, everybody. Look up. I'm going to try tapping this time. I'm also crouching.
    65:10
    Oh, why is it back? Oh, not yet? No, not yet. Not yet. I'm gonna go full topper with you when you get there. Full topper. He's almost there. Do I gotta hit him? He did it.
    65:27
    Is it here? Here we go. Oh yeah, okay. So it's... Full topper. Alright, here we go. You can do it. You can do it. Yes!
    65:40
    Nice. Uh oh. I don't think tapping it works. Yeah, I think holding it is the move. Yeah. I don't think tapping it works. But Isaiah gets to try it over and over again.
    66:04
    Oh, the shot moved as soon as I got there. We're hitting every shot besides the one we need. Extra ball into the extra ball. Can we do it? Okay.
    66:27
    Another update. We got another update coming in on 007, you guys. What's the update on 007? Somebody tell me. All right. I may have gotten an extra ball on my extra ball. Nice. Keep going. How are you still that stranger though? That makes no sense Because you progress through The shootouts Not the quick draws Or the gunfights Oh Alright Did you read the updates?
    67:04
    Bye Plutronic Bye bye Let's see if I'll actually progress here Matt did you read the update notes? No. No? Okay. I don't know what it is, but it's something that came out because of its James Bond day today.
    67:19
    Is it really James Bond day today? That sounds ridiculous. The remake has beer. Beer mode. It's like you're doing amazing and you're... Yeah, like still not really progressing. This is my third multiball maybe Third like Not even gold mine multiball Just different modes of multiball Because I've had stampede Showdown Oh is showdown this one You didn't showdown yet No wait you did showdown You didn't do stampede yet No you didn't do stampede Oh well what am I talking about You need mother load Oh so I need to shout out to you I assure you The talking isn't going to be what gets me.
    68:15
    It's going to be my lack of hitting a very specific shot. Is Mother Lode carry-overable? No, I don't think so. No, you just have to restart it.
    68:31
    Replay. There it is, guys. The replay animation. Freeplay. That was kind of cool. I would have taken the lock. Try one spin. I just wanted to see if I could do it. Oh, okay. It's a test of self. There's an extra ball waiting for you. I think. No, this isn't there. That would be my third extra ball, so I think I'm running out. Well this is, yeah, I mean you're on ball two. Woo! Man. So is it the same number of shots every time to get to Stampede? I think so. And is it, it's ten combos right, to like the combo on the star? I believe. Oh. No. That was the one thing I missed, was combos. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
    69:46
    Ride him, cowboy. Hurry up. Yeah, Bionic Bart already. Bionic Bart wasn't in the first one, right? No, he wasn't. Yeah, because they didn't... It was on the play card. Yep, yep.
    70:10
    And that's the thing that they added to Cactus Canyon Continued. They added Bionic Vort to Cactus Canyon Continued.
    70:22
    Can you stack Bionic Vort with the multi-bolt? It looks like you can. Yeah, if I can get the lock. That's a lot of lock shots, though. Ah! Yo, Miami Bart, man. That was the longest ball two of my life.
    70:41
    What's up, Marky? That was the longest ball two, ball two, ball two. I put my glasses back on, kids. You notice that? Because that means I got serious. It means you're in it. You're in it, so I'm in it. It means I'm in it.
    70:56
    I'm on a star. Got it. I got the star. I'm a sheriff. I'm still like stranger. I'm getting destroyed and I'm a sheriff.
    71:09
    I'm getting destroyed. Nice ball, Isaiah. Thank you, thank you. You can get into showdown or gunfight. That's going to be a lot of points. Oh yeah, you're right. Here we go.
    71:29
    Stampede! Got it. Oh my God. The saves are ridiculous. Oh my god, the saves are stupid today Saves for sale You might want to save I got one here Oh, old man I don't know about these stupid saves Put my glasses on, remember? You're a marshal now. I'm a marshal.
    72:40
    There's a new sheriff in town. So the side targets like quick draw. Oh, okay. Yeah, they do actually, yeah. And his name is Reggie Hammond.
    72:51
    Y'all be cool. Right on. I'm almost at buying a cart like you are. Woo! Go! Come on! Mama! Let's get that mother low, let's get that mother low. Hoo! Ha!
    73:12
    Hoo! Ha! Damn it. Seriously? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh! That was a fail! Bro, did you see that? That's because I'm not in my 20's anymore.
    73:41
    That... sucked. And you're at 8 earmugs. You're 2 away. You mean I can actually get up there? There it is, and then you go into the guy.
    74:07
    Do I get it? I want to swing it. I knew he was gonna get me. 18. That's a hard one to win. That is a trip right there, bro.
    74:42
    That is a trip. That was another one. It said, lock is lit and so am I. Yeah, that one, that's a famous one. Lock is lit and so am I.
    74:55
    I put on my stream, I am lit and so is the lock. Yeah, I saw that one. After I parked, I was like, oh, my new slide. That's what that came from.
    75:09
    Got it. Oh, bad guy, bad guy. There we go. When do I get it, Isaiah? You're one away. Damn it. Special. Oh, that does nothing to me. Free game.
