TL;DR

mpt3k virtual vs physical duel on Ripley's; Flipstream's DMD fails, Manu teaches complex ruleset.

Summary

Mystery Pinball Theater 3000 hosts a virtual vs. physical pinball duel on Ripley's Believe It or Not featuring Manu (host) on VPX emulation and Flipstream on physical hardware. Technical difficulties plague the stream—Flipstream's DMD fails due to ribbon cable corrosion—but Manu provides extensive gameplay commentary explaining Ripley's complex rule set, including the underutilized Veritarget mechanic, continent selection via bumpers, and the challenging Atlantis mode. The stream showcases deep game knowledge while highlighting why Ripley's remains underrated and overshadowed by The Simpsons Pinball Party and Lord of the Rings.

Key Claims

  • Ripley's Believe It or Not is the possibly the last game that used a Veritarget mechanic from electromechanical machines

    medium confidence · Host speculates: 'I think this quite possibly might be the last game that used a Barra Target.'

  • Ripley's Believe It or Not is underrated and overshadowed by The Simpsons Pinball Party and Lord of the Rings

    high confidence · Host states directly: 'This game is awesome. I've just been playing this game for the last three days. It's underrated mainly because it overshadowed The Simpsons Pinball Party and The Lord of the Rings.'

  • Keith Elwin previously made a video getting to Atlantis mode in Ripley's Believe It or Not

    high confidence · Host: 'Flipstream mentioned to me yesterday that Keith Elwin did a video a while ago getting to Atlantis in this game.'

  • Ripley's Believe It or Not has bumper-controlled continent selection, making progression essentially random

    high confidence · Host explaining mechanic: 'The thing that controls which continent you go to, you guessed it, the bumpers (jet bumpers, thumper bumpers). Yay! So it might as well be freaking random.'

  • This is the first virtual vs physical duel on Ripley's Believe It or Not, though previous duels occurred on TNA, Batman 66, and The Games

    high confidence · Host: 'this is the first for Ripley's Believe It or Not' but acknowledges prior battles on 'TNA we did that a couple times' and 'Batman 66. Two physical...We've battled twice.'

Flipstream is checking out some issues on his end. Once he's got the issues sussed out, we'll switch over to the duel cam screen. This is exciting. basically the guy I'm dueling on this game is the guy who basically taught me how to play this game so Flipstream has a physical which is an incredibly underrated game I've always liked this game here I'm going to go to my master view right now I have always liked this game it is like what we would say is like Twilight Zone 2.0.
1:47
The issue with this game, there's a couple of issues with this game. Number one, the back glass is horrendous.
1:56
Oh my God. Horrendous. Lynn! Thank you for subscribing at Tier 1. You're a legend. How are you, Lynn? Glad you're here. The black glass. Oh my God. The backlash is horrendous. It's not as bad as World Poker Tour, but you better win. I've got money on this.

    What's up, Grammy? Grammy, I'm not going to say, I can't say whether I'm a winner or not, because my teacher is flipstream on this. doing okay we now have a vehicle cable hauling one pinball machine that's pretty that's pretty baller i think i have a vehicle my vehicle can can can hold a pinball machine uh yeah i have a wrap a wrap four that'll hold the pinball machine in the back we have to put the seats down but um yeah i don't want to think about hauling a pinball machine i don't i don't don't, there's one pinball machine that I want, and that's, that's a P3, what, oh, jeez, oh my god, oh, jeez, flip screen, you scared the crap out of me, I ripped my freaking earplug out, how are you doing, oh, wait, you're not live, now you're live, Hawkeyes, what's up, that's pretty good looking Hawkeye saved my ass you guys Hawkeye saved my ass with his DMD because when you see Flipstream's DMD, Flipstream are you ready?
    3:36
    um I think so maybe yeah I don't know my DMD is still being stupid here is it really? I think I know what's wrong though I think it's the ribbon cable so hang on one second and I've got to do the whole anti-corrosion, take it off, put it back on again thing. Okay, you do the anti-corrosion, take it off, put it back on again thing. I'm going to show a little bit of gameplay of Ripley's Believe It or Not, so we can walk through, we can see some of the stuff I know about it. Hawkeyes, you saved my eye, because this DMD is beautiful. I could not find the PAL and the DNI files.
    4:13
    So Hawkeyes, I'm literally like, Hawkeyes, do you know where there's a color DMD for Believe It or Not? And bro was like, bro was like this, color DMD, hold my bubbly.
    4:28
    That's how it happened, right Hawkeyes? You said hold my bubbly, right? I think that's what you said.
    4:37
    What's up RZ? Trailers can hold them too. There you go. Oh, trailers, yeah, of course, can hold pinball machines. How'd you know? yeah that'll be the case with the ctrv good to know my wife has a rap for yeah i think grimmy i think we can fit it in a rap for i would never try though by the way oh thank you what is that the two cuffs thank you for the follow holy smokes welcome to the pinball theater we have a pinball duel happening today virtual pinball versus physical pinball and that's those are the terminology that I use. I say virtual and physical. I don't say virtual pinball and real pinball because I love these sounds, man. They just shut me up.
    5:33
    The man knows he knows it all. Yeah, everyone. Do a tap pass. Might have to suck out all the dog hair to make it fit.
    5:41
    You know what? Say whatever you want. You can say virtual and real. I say virtual and physical because they're both real. Right, Nail Buster?
    5:55
    Right, Nail Buster? I agree with that. Flipstream agrees. You guys came here for a duel. We'll get a duel in a little bit. Let me see if I can figure out. Maybe a good old technical issues.
    6:11
    Love the Trashman. Oh, yeah. Hell, yeah. Do a tap pass. This may be a world first. Oh, flip stream. He's saying, Nailbust was saying, this is the world first where we compare, where we play. We're not comparing. Mr. Hall!
    6:36
    Where we're playing. This isn't a first. We've dueled. we've dueled physical versus virtual before I think it was TNA we did that a couple times but yes this is the first for Ripley's Believe It or Not oh dang Flipstream is here too yeah Flipstream's here he's in my ear he's in your ear has Flipstream done a battle before yes Flipstream has battled many times I probably have the fewest number of battles I think is that right Flipstream I think Flipstream has done more battles than I have Or we're about tied. We have battled on Batman 66.
    7:17
    Two physical games. We've battled twice. We've battled on Batman 66 twice. He won one and I won one. So we do have a rematch coming, but neither one of us have the physical table in him.
    7:32
    All right. Well, swapping the cable around just made it not work at all. Hang on. Okay. Keep going. Take it. And I, uh, I, that may happen sometime in the month. Um, wind, wind, wind. Okay, here's what I know about Ripley's Believe It or freaking not. Okay, and that's the actual thing. There's a lot going on in the game. Let's start up a game, actually.
    7:58
    Whoa, whoa, whoa. Damn. I'm very sorry, people, that that just happened to you. wow that was insane let me turn that down oh my god i just blew everyone my whole house shook yeah why the frack is that so fracking loud oh my god okay now listen everyone that wasn't on purpose that blew me out too that was in my ear too so i apologize 11 is louder than 1 Stables and Wall by Pinball I'm an audio guy and trust me that is the last thing I want to do to you guys alright where do we where do you even start with Ripley's Believe It or Not oh my god usually with the Veritarget that's a good place to start Okay, let's talk Veritarget. The Veritarget is right here. Do you guys know what a Veritarget is? It was something that was used heavily in EMs, in the world of electromechanical deafness, one step closer to being cognitive.
    9:13
    Nice one, Dalton. Veritargets were used in electromechanical machines a lot. And you actually, you basically hear, let's launch the ball. You push.
    9:28
    So, I'm gonna do a quick... No? You know? Is this the latest use of a Veritag and a Pimmel machine? Yeah, Wonder Who will win. Win. Stop it.
    9:56
    Watch as I demonstrate. I think this quite possibly might be the last game that used a Barra Target.
    10:07
    You might be onto something, Lynn. So Barra Target being right there, right? So when you hit it... Oh, God. Oh, boy.
    10:15
    Oh, boy. This is what you need to hit to start modes. Alright, so I'm going to let this drain. Your very target is how you travel to a continent.
    10:38
    Okay, we have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 continents that we can travel to. So far so good, everybody got me? Alright, here I'm going to do the special thing too. Boom. So, boom. Also included in this row are special, extra ball, and question mark. I don't even know what question mark is. In the beginning of the game, that's already lit. So once you see the flashing light on, it's flashing on Australia right now. You already get it. When you need to go to another continent, you have to hit the, what is it? It's the right ramp? Right ramp. Right ramp will rewrite it. Right ramp in a typical Pat Lawler game will relight this guy right here. Okay?
    11:35
    And the thing that controls which continent you go to, you guessed it, the pop bumpers. Yay! So it might as well be freaking random.
    11:46
    Okay. Let's see. Okay. Apparently, Home Pin had a very target in the Thunder... Yeah, let's not mention the Thunderbirds anymore, okay?
    12:28
    Whew! Question mark is Atlantis. So, Flipstream mentioned to me yesterday that Keith Elwin did a video a while ago getting to Atlantis in this game.
    12:44
    Let me explain why Atlantis is hard in Ripley's Believe It or Not. A question mark belongs to a set of characters referred to as punctuation.
    12:56
    Your faith matches mine anytime I think of Thunderbirds pinball machine. I'll mention Thunderbirds one more time.
    13:06
    I've never played one. I understand it's bad, but man, that's a dream theme of mine. Paladin. Thunderbirds, I love the TV show. The game was just... Let's just say the game never was made, okay?
    13:21
    The reason getting to Atlantis is hard is you have to complete all the tasks in every single continent so you can get a Ripley's letter. A letter in Ripley's name.
    13:32
    Okay? I got another, I got a free visit card. Okay, so for example, shoot six penguin loops. Penguin loops being up at the top. This doesn't sound hard, but you have to do it during a multiball. Oh, look at that. The ball got stuck there. That's a new one.
    13:55
    And not only... So I think FlipSync let me know this. Not only do you have to shoot six penguin loops during a multiball, you also have to hit two ramps, I think it is.
    14:12
    I'm trying to trap here. Trying to trap. Okay. This gets a little trickier, too, on a virtual pin because of the fact that I cannot stage flip. Not that I'm such a great stage clipper, but I can't even do it. He said, don't forget the penguin, because I didn't hit enough penguin loops yet. Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.
    14:54
    Okay, let's get some more penguin loops. Oh, don't go out that way. Don't go out that way. Oh! Oh, my God. Oh, boy.
    15:05
    Penguin jackpots. up and over. Shoot. I need more penguin jackpots. Really bad. I'm trying to feed the upper right flipper.
    15:25
    Here comes... Oh! Manu! Oh, I got an anaball. Yeah, that's going to help right now. Oh, that's going to be great. Thanks. One more ball to deal with. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
    15:41
    Yeah. Oh, okay. All right. We're back to normal. Send it over, send it over, send it over, send it over, please. Oh, you suck. So the only way I can really do this, The only way I can really do this is to feed the very target, which will feed the upper flipper. You're not helping me, game, I swear. Ah, crap, that was no good. Very target, there we go. Boom! Ah, and if you miss, you miss.
    16:32
    Oh boy! You can hit ramps, not only side loops. Oh! You mean I can finish this with just ramps? Hi, Mima.
    16:57
    Damn it. Wow, look at all those loops I'm getting now. Ramps are part of the mode. Ah, Dalton. Okay, I'm really going to beat Flipstream now.
    17:18
    I didn't even know that. Yeah, if I can even get my D&D working here. Wow, I'm sorry, bud. Damn it, we were so close. I know, and it was working fine earlier. what oh okay i got it dolphin once you hit once you uh once you complete the ramps hit the loop to relight them that's where it gets hard that's where it gets hard okay i got it um let me talk a little bit about this strange contraption up here this up here and flipstream explained this to me also just last night because i i played this game forever didn't know how to do any of this stuff here basically um basically uh it says you know a1 b1 c3 right so you can light a1 b1 or c3 if you get three in a row sort of like avengers or what is that other game that does three in a row there's a lot of games that go three in a row if If you can get three in a row, you light that award, whatever. Okay.
    18:29
    The trick about going up there is right now this light says, this is flashing gate open, which means it will feed either B or C.
    18:43
    It will feed B or C. When gate is not open, when it doesn't flash gate open, it will only feed A. okay how do you relight gate open you shoot this ramp that will relight gate open is everyone following me you wonder why this game isn't played that much it's very it's out there um so i'm gonna hit if i can boom it's gonna go down either b or c i just redeemed c3 which is this guy right here. Now, if I shoot the ramp again, it will go down A1 because the gate is not open right now.
    19:38
    I got an A1. All right. so you can actually play a little game all by yourself just with this so check this out, if I shoot it again because I didn't shoot this ramp yet so if I shoot that middle ramp it will go down, what will it go down?
    20:02
    does anybody know the answer? where will it go? Manu, what are you playing? I'm playing Ripley's Believe thank you Dr. Curly Tech I was waiting for that right there Eternal Grammy says it doesn't matter it hella does matter it does matter what light am I going to get if I shoot that center ramp right now it's huge right now anybody this is an interactive stream A3 that is correct and if I do A3 what do I get big points and I get light million plus This way is big points. This way is like million plus. Two-way bingo.
    20:51
    Oh, this is huge. Ready? Y'all ready? Y'all ready? Y'all not ready. You're not ready.
    21:03
    You get the satisfaction. What do I get? You get the satisfaction of doing that. All right. You're ready. You're ready. Here we go. Boom!
    21:15
    Look at the redemptions. Look at the garbage that I just... Look at all the stuff I just got. Three million's lit.
    21:26
    Unlimited millions is lit, right? Light million plus. And I got big points, which I didn't even see what they were. I don't know what the big points were. Yes, it is the AIQ computer. Exactly.
    21:40
    Oh, boy. McKay... McKay Theo says, I wasn't ready. Thank you for the riff. Thank you for the, uh... Whatever it means when someone... I got one tilt warning. Excuse me?
    22:05

    27:10
    I hated Dialed In at first. I didn't like it until I learned some of the motion. Cyber Johnny, I learned Dialed In when I started hunting for achievements in Dialed In. There is a skill shot on this table, and if you could hit it right in the scoop, right here, you get a lot of points.
    27:29
    I could try again. It's like Scared Stiff. If you don't hit anything, if you don't validate the playfield, it's okay.
    27:39
    If you don't validate the playfield, you're alright. You can keep trying. Oops. Oops, all pops. Whirlwind is one. Okay, Whirlwind.
    27:49
    Monopoly has two sets of three? Monopoly doesn't feel like a Lawler game, though. I guess it is, but... Hey, Flipstream, how are you doing? terrible I'm not sure I'm going to be able to get this working tonight oh no I mean the table's fine but I can't use the DMD at all it's totally frozen I think the it's either the ribbon cable's bad or it's the connection to the DMD power signal board is shut because it was pretty heavily corroded which happens on the older games so yeah do you want to say you want to at least say hi to the people I can switch over to chat hang on let me try one more thing and then we might do that and then I can just hang out for the stream if it doesn't work alright okay I'm going to try to get this skill shot whirlwind and monopoly World winning Monopoly Okay What's your favorite JGP game? My favorite JGP game right now Is Willy Wonka Oh If you manage to do that It goes up a million every ball So you could collect Three million on the next one Okay This mode is a little bit Annoying Fuck that mode is hard you have to hit all the tombstone targets Look that 8 million on this game and I just kind of explaining how to do it
    29:44
    You have to hit all the tombstone targets. There's one, two, three, four, five... Is that it? Yeah, I think those are all the tombstone targets. Those are sort of like the greed targets in Twilight Zone.
    30:12
    Let's see. Boom, my first try. You did. It's a cool machine. My roommate Pete almost bought it. And then my mother got a job. Job. that was the last word a kid heard before the British nanny slept I'm going to make everyone feel old back then it was my 13th birthday present actually alright good for you for being born later than everyone what's up fiends Well, fiends, here's the thing.
    30:59
    Moments before we started the stream, Flipstream and I just plunged a ball, and Flipstream's DMD died.
    31:10
    Like, literally moments before starting the stream. I'm not even kidding. So Flipstream is on the chat right now. He's gone mute because he's got to figure out, he's trying to get the DMD working. But you may be just spending time with me tonight playing Ripley's Believe It or Not. But I will teach you this game so you will realize how much fun it is. This game is incredible. You missed the whole conversation about what's going on up here.
    31:39
    It's going to be tough. You're going to have to watch the vibe. Let's go for the skill shot. Boom. Let it fall. It's cool. Boom. Alright, I'm going to try one more time and then we're going to play. We're going to put up a big score. Boom!
    31:56
    Nope. Okay, so play field is valid. Play field is valid, so I can't do it anymore. We have Asia lit.
    32:10
    Yeah, he might get it. I already learned a hell of a list of stuff I don't know. Okay, so I can do another continent or I can shoot the idol, right? Shoot the idol, mom. So, this is the idle... Sorry, I'm shaking it so much.
    32:31
    Man. I'm shaking it so much. That is the idle man. So, so, the way you do it is when you shoot the idle man, right? The head knows. The auditorium is lit on the idol, man.
    33:03
    Okay, so I hit the auditorium, which is just a... It gives you a little Ripley, believe it or not, fact, and then it... And then it gives you points. Okay? So I'm going to walk through the idol until I get light lock.
    33:18
    AKA Senior... That's the shrunken head. The idol is... Oh, I'm sorry. Dalton, you are correct. Dalton, get in here now. Get in here now. The idol is over here.
    33:35
    The idol is here. Oh, this is the worst. That's the idol. School! That's the item. This is the shrunken head.
    33:58
    Are we clear? All right. So I'm going to hit the shrunken head to collect Bigfoot value. Now, usually it'll catch it on the magnet. Now we have light lock. Okay. We have light lock lit.
    34:22
    Oh, lock is lit. Alright. Now, on a typical Ripley, like the one that Flipstream has, you can backhand this right ramp. I can't do it on here. It's not dialed in, so to speak.
    34:44
    Sorry, I love this game. Dalton, I'm with you. This game is awesome. I've just been playing this game for the last three days.
    34:51
    It's underrated mainly because it got overshadowed by TSPP and LOTR. Lord of the Rings. The Simpsons Pinball Party. Okay. Oh, no!
    35:06
    Okay. So I have to shoot the dangerous, like, harder shot here. Hmm. Who's that? What's up, slug? It won't go.
    35:41
    Give me a lock. Use! Hmm! Uh oh. Who did that? Well, good luck watching the game.
    36:05
    I can't... Thank you. I can't play like that. Now we're Fs. Got to try the new shizzle. There we go. Ball to lock. I give up. You give up? I give up. A custom sound has been redeemed. Congratulations.
    36:29
    Congratulations. Who redeemed the custom sound? Arthur Pendragon. Arthur, you know how this works, right? You got to whisper me something.
    36:41
    Do you want to use the same one you used on my stream? Arthur Pendragon. I can send them the file if you want.
    36:50
    I don't know if they can hear me. Yeah, he said sure. Okay. He said sure. Cool. Yeah, Arthur Pendragon. Okay, Flipstream's going to send me the file. So, Flipstream, no dice on it, huh? No. I mean, if you want to switch to the dual layout, people can actually see what the heck I've been trying to do here. Yeah. Let's switch over to the dual layout and just see if we can see what's going on. There he is. So at least you guys can see it side by side right now.
    37:19
    So what happened, bro? It's a good question, and I'm not exactly sure. We were working fine, but there's an issue with the ribbon cable that's feeding into the D&D display. So it looks like it might be locked on that one. Oh, I know what's wrong. Yeah, I unplugged it.
    37:42
    Let me plug that back in. That'll help. one second everybody it's been one of those days or weeks nice one Corin that is a close up of a DMD yes it is I think I'm proud of that oh man hey look there's a DMV that way so what does it do though that's it oh that's it oh I see so I mean the game itself works you know
    38:41
    so I mean the game works I just have no there's a tap pass for you there Dalton yeah well thank you that'd be great Hawkeyes if you want to do that I mean we could try to do like silly ones to see yeah because I mean now you can see it's like totally wigging out and think if we're in the settings menu, even though we're not, and the coin door is closed. So it's a it's an issue with the ribbon cable or the connection on the power board, because there's a bunch of corrosion on them. I had this issue once before, but I cleaned it off a little bit, and then it was fine, but apparently it didn't fix it entirely.
    39:32
    Things that have surreal keepscore with one of his databases. Well, here Yeah, that's a really weird failure. Yeah, Len is saying that's a really weird failure.
    39:44
    So here's what we can do. Just so that people can see the games flip side by side. I don't know. I guess flip a couple of games side by side, and we'll just chat, and I'll take it over later. Do you think Stern will still honor the warranty?
    40:03
    Yeah. It's either the client, the server, or the network. That narrows it down, Colonel Grimmie. Hey Peaches, what's up?
    40:11
    So, here's what's interesting. Some people come... You know, most people know that I'm going to pretend man is not whining. Shut up, fiends. So, I'm going to... So, some people... Some people come to the channel and they see...
    40:37
    a virtual and they don't realize that it's virtual until the ball gets plunged. So you guys can clearly see. Oh, you got two balls trapped. Nice. You guys can clearly see the differences between the action of a physical ball versus the action of... Oh, I got multiball lit.
    40:58
    Hey, I can stack Asia into multiball, right? I think so. Let's do that. You can expect a multiball on any continent that's not a multiball already.
    41:12
    Australia is lit. Now I'm on Australia. It didn't push the very target all the way back. Yeah, that still counts as a hit for Australia. And now the scoop gave me my multiball. That sucks. That happens all the time.
    41:30
    So what I have to do in the multiball is hit both ramps to score jackpots. I got water. You got a letter? Yep. You're amazing. You can't even tell what you're doing if you got a letter.
    41:47
    I'm trying to get a jackpot. Give me a jackpot. Dang it. Trap it up. Uh-oh. Okay, I just gave that ball up.
    42:11
    I just saw the ball jitter on my stream. How is it possible? Probably just internet pickup. Yeah. That's one. Okay.
    42:27
    Super jackpot is lit. Oh, million plus. Super jackpot is lit. Can he get it? Can he get it, ladies and gentlemen? No. Nope. Oh, he'll get it. He'll get it. Watch him. Ready?
    42:52
    He will get it. Oh, please hit the very target, you murderous... Ah! Damn it. You didn't get a digit.
    43:07
    Now... Why can't I hit the very target when I want to? Because it's like every other shot in pinball.
    43:16
    Can't hit it when you actually want to. Crap. I am in Africa. Yeah, why don't you, uh, blast the rings while you're down there. Oh, you know what? I was... Oh, my God. I'm so sorry we're not dueling right now, because those jokes... are like kryptonite.
    43:44
    Boom. Um, let's see. Let's get a jackpot, and then let's get another jackpot. Is my camera freezing again? I think your camera is frozen. I think my webcam is freezing. Is it frozen? Am I frozen?
    44:06
    You know what? Don't bring that shit over here, man. You're looking at the two originators of the ridiculous things on stream. The two originators right here, ladies and gentlemen. Me and Brother Flipstream, back and forth with stupid ideas. We are here on the same stream right now.
    44:32
    All right. Oh, God. Who's on the remote? Where's the remote? Messing with the tracking. See, you guys don't miss the jewel right now, right? Look at that.
    44:53
    How do you like the super? It's either a random award or after collecting a certain number. What is it? I think three. Three jackpots?
    45:13
    I'm stealing multiple. Van Killen, thank you for the follow. Let me see. Let me go back a little bit. VPP says, yeah, but if people would just tweak their physics a little, they could fool Penn and Teller.
    45:29
    They could Penn and Teller the audience. Fooled. Yeah. I keep forgetting that Asia is the name of a continent and not just a stripper name. Oh, my God.
    45:41
    Man, read them before you read them out loud. Seriously. Yeah, I've got to work on that. Yeah, I've got to work on that all the time, man. Yeah, I know. You've got to work on that, man. You got to take it in, process it, and then read it.
    45:55
    Oh, boy. Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy. First time chat from Flipstream Control Bot. Really? My wife got mad at me for being lazy. It's not like I did something.
    46:14
    All right. Okay. Flipstream Control Bot is in my chat. Pin Bot, status report. Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Flip, Flipstream's bot can't talk to Pinbot. That's going to be, that's going to get weird.
    46:32
    Hey, let somebody do a rave. Somebody do a rave. So, so Flipstream is able to... He, he, Flipstream hijacked my lights.
    47:00
    If I rave, he raves. I love it. Or somebody change the color, too. You could change the color. These guys know, like, a lot more about this stuff than I do. You guys come here for stuff? I go to school with, uh, like, Flipstream and them. That's where I go to school. Flipstream School of Redemption make sure if you're not following Flipstream please go follow Flipstream right now because this is my bud um we seriously like started ah we seriously started doing all this stuff together um the Leon Board stuff um figuring out I got Flipstream to finally give up XSplit that's true this is true not because LBS is anything better than XSplit is actually quite good at broadcast stuff but it had very little support on the automation end yep I have to say XSplit still is hands down better for doing all the 3D transform stuff I mean OBS does even hold a candle to it because it's not true 3D objects like it is in XSplit but that's about where the advantages of Xplit end these days. Yeah, Xplit has definitely got the broadcaster in mind.
    48:20
    OBS is great, but there's a lot of stuff you have to add on to it. There we go. Lots of stuff you have to add. Let me see. What else do I want to show you guys?
    48:32
    Oh, no. What is it, Fliptronic? Do you really have something to tell me, or is this going to be something that I'm going to enjoy? He's going to do the shooting. You know he's going to do the shooting. I know he's going to do the shooting. Is it time on already?
    48:46
    Cool down? Okay. What is it, Fliptronic? What would you like to tell me? It's not funny when it's predictable, Fliptronic.
    48:57
    Something. Well, maybe Fliptronic really does have something. There, I said it. Okay. Yeah. I wasn't. I'll do another raise. All right.
    49:18
    You need to turn off your audio ducking or voice detection in your Discord menu because it keeps cutting you off.
    49:27
    Does it really? Yes. I didn't even know I had it on there. It's on by default. Oh, in Discord? Yes. Oh, yeah. I don't even touch Discord on here. Let's see. Yeah, you gotta go into Turnalook. I see. Just go into Settings, and then Voice and Video, and you scroll down to go to the Voice Processing section, and just turn all that crap off. The Echo Cancellation, Noise Reduction, the Voice Activity, Control. We're all a little sick. Uh, let's see, User Settings... Uh, where is it? Voice and Video, about halfway down. voice and video turn off the noise suppression let's see where is it you'll probably have to scroll down it's a long page echo cancellation is off noise reduction is off it's the noise suppression it's higher up noise suppression it's like right in versus advanced ok now it's off Okay.
    50:41
    Is that better? Yeah, it's not cutting you off. So what would happen is I would talk, and then I'd have to go quiet, and then it would actually play your audio.
    50:52
    Okay. So now we can be a little bit more real-time. All right, I'm going to put up some scores right now on this thing. What else do you guys want to know about release? There's a lot.
    51:06
    This will go down B or C. I got 2x scoring now. Let's go to Antarctica. Oh, look at that. Look at me hitting ramps all day. Look at me hitting ramps all friggin' day.
    51:22
    Today is ramp day. 2x scoring. Today is ramp day. I have no idea what mode I'm in. I know. Oh, South America.
    51:47
    Somebody told me that VPW was working on Never Skip Ramp Day. I got hit the shrunken head a bunch of times. Yep.
    52:00
    Someone told me that VPW was working on a remake of this table. That'd be nice. Does any one of my, like, really smart VP people know if this is true?
    52:19
    New pinhead here. Hey, what's up? Who's that? Storm Trooper. Welcome to the pinhole, Storm Trooper. That's a great name.
    52:31
    How many times do I have to hit the shrunken head? Uh, five? I got a letter! I got a letter. We're going to Atlantis, guys. We are playing Ripley's Believe It or Not.
    52:53
    We were supposed to be dueling on Ripley's Believe It or Not, but Flipstream over there just had some issues with the DMD, so we're going to reschedule this one.
    53:05
    I don't believe it. Hopefully soon. So today's rant day, does that mean Thursday's spook day? Stormtrooper, MPT2K is the father I never asked for, just FYI.
    53:20
    Jordan. Jordan, I need you at the theater on Friday, okay? I know you're sick. I know you're a little bit sick, but get better by Friday. Because...
    53:41
    Because... If any pinball is orphaned, everything you say is actually a godfather. I got two kids. I don't want no more.
    53:52
    Hi, Surreal. What do you call a joke with no punchline? Um... An anecdote? That was a crap I didn't realize that was a real thing A sentence I missed the ending on Friday Who was the killer? Really, RZ? The killer was Was Rhonda Rhoda The killer was Rhoda He was the butler Let me let me know if you need more RZ. Let me know if you need more but the killer was Rhoda.
    54:39
    Oh. The Joe lookalike? No, no, no. It was the girl that got burned in the beginning of the movie. So just so everybody knows what me and RZ are talking about. The movie we did last week, which I swear to God I wish Jordan and Becca could have seen. You would have been so proud of me. Jordan, you would have been so proud of me.
    55:06
    Aerobicide. Oh my god. That movie just rocked. Surreal. Let them know. That movie rocked. You leave Nancy McKeon alone.
    55:22
    Yeah. Don't you, but thank you for the follow. If you... Try one more time here. See, fingers crossed, this will work. We're crossing our fingers. Go ahead. Jordan, if you want it, I can send it to you so you can watch it. It's awfully wonderful.
    55:42
    But I was busy helping Scott Denise move around his Eurorack. Wow. Flexmuch? Fliptronic?
    55:55
    Mmm. Mmm. Let's all just take a moment. You know what? That's okay. That's okay, Jordan. Because at that time, I was busy helping Pat Lawler, Steve Ritchie, and Keith Elwin in a threesome.
    56:28
    Oh, my God. Good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good. Woo. Look, I don't know how to do this game. I don't know how this game works. Is that what you're supposed to do?
    56:58
    That luller and a threesome just gave me nightmares. Oh, yeah. Stormtrooper, are you glad you came? Is it working?
    57:15
    It looks like it's working. Oh! Why in the name of God did you just say that? I'm sorry. If it took that to summon Flipstream's DMD, I think we're good I'm sorry guys I won't say that anymore Alright Flipstream It's working Flipstream, what do you want to do, bro? You want to try something?
    57:53
    Um Try to get a little bit more Now, I am going to ask you one thing. Is it possible... Yeah, only one.
    58:04
    Man, I just had to one-up. Is it possible... to change the angle of your DMD camera a little, because there's a huge glare, or lower your lights a little bit?
    58:22
    Possibly both. Okay, yeah. Yeah, we'll just, well, I've got to put you on mute again, but then Yeah, let me I'm going to go like ultra B&B size here Okay That way I can actually see what it looks like Alright, I'm going to switch over back to live chat Yeah, I was about to say, you probably want to take me off the screen Because it's about to get rid of your Oh yeah, that, ooh, wow, yeah, that's horrible Alright, let me get back to my friends here and chat.
    58:57
    Woo! So I'm going to blow this game up. I will. You cast a spell from the pinball chapter of Necro... Necro Necronomicon Necronomicon I trying Can I try please No Chartutery
    59:15
    One question. Will you hang out with Pat Lawler and I this weekend? Soft-boiled egg? Sure. Didn't someone earlier say Lawler had two threesomes? We're over that. We're done. We're gone. That's not happening anymore.
    59:35
    Fliptronic, I need you there on Friday. Cyril and I are going to run... It's going to be a potpourri night this Friday. A couple of cool little PSAs that I found. Plus, we're rerunning the seven deadly sins of whatever... I can't remember the full title. A.K.A. the forklift video. We are redoing the forklift video. Oh, no.
    60:04
    Why do you hate people, Manu? I love people. No, it's not me. It's Brian O'Neill. Brian O'Neill hates people.
    60:10
    Brian O'Neill is the one who gave us the forklift video. It's an oldie but a goodie. Fork, yeah. Try that again. Let's go to North America.
    60:25
    Are we already in North America? Huh? Aren't we already in North America? Yeah, we are. Okay, so... Ramp one.
    60:41
    Two. Yeah, this game also screams a lot. Crap. Get over. Separate your cradle. Oh! Three. Oh, you suck!
    61:13
    Damn it. This is why it's really hard to get... to get Ripley's letters in this game. Game sounds like a Pat Lawler... Game sounds like Pat Lawler at a PT3K on a weekend. the severed deadly sins yes we're doing a potpourri we're trying will it lift a limo so ready to get forklift certified I love forklifts if uh I'm going to mute that again if you're new here and you don't know what we're talking about every Friday here at Mystery Pinball Theater we find either a full length movie that is terrible and we do what's called competitive riffing where you actually type in chat and get points from people, other people in chat. The points are made up and they really don't matter. And they really don't matter.
    62:10
    And this Friday, we're not going to watch a full length movie. We're going to watch maybe four or five. No, we're going to watch like two PSAs and the forklift video. And trust me, this forklift safety video, it's the stuff of nightmares it's wonderful it's nice it was so good what's up Wax Lala I hardly know her
    62:50
    yeah Brandon says and then you lose at the last moment by 100 points. I'm sorry. It happens sometimes.
    62:59
    When you got it ready, just give me a holler. I'm listening. I'm just messing around with stuff. You got it.
    63:06
    It's the best video ever. Ripley's, eh? I'll play two. Come on, Wax. Bring it. Wax, I hope this is your copy.
    63:19
    I hope this is the one that you did. I really do. It played great. I hope it's yours. I told Flipstream that I was going to get yours, and I think I went in the right. Nope. Damn it.
    63:33
    How do you know? Okay. Check out my DMD now. Let's go back to the duel. That looks good enough.
    63:51
    The ball image, yeah. Bro, is that why... So on yours, can you backhand this ramp? Yes. No, not you.
    64:03
    Can we talk about that already? Yeah, we did. I can't backhand the ramp. I can on the one that used to be a free-goal watch, but that's okay. I don't want to mess with flippers.
    64:17
    So let's do a challenge, bro. Oh, actually, let me... I think you might need to tweak the DMD position a little bit. Just a little. Tilt it up a little bit. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's getting me. Oh, that was so good. I'm going to call Pat Lawler, Keith Elwin, and Steve Wichie right now.
    64:44
    Oh, man. What's up? I think, yeah, chipmunk voice. So why did you talk? I guess. Okay, I can talk a little bit, and that way they don't feel like they wasted their redemption on chipmunk voice. I probably sound pretty interesting. I'm really curious what it sounds like.
    65:07
    I have a chipmunk voice. It sounds like it's that, whatever, it's a sodium, barite, gas, whatever. Holy cow, that's loud. I'm sorry. Brandon, are you leaving because of the last reference? Okay, sorry.
    65:28
    Flip screen, what are we doing? What are we doing? We're celebrating the fact that my DMV is working again. Attention, my moon. Have you checked your butthole?
    65:44
    I think that means that we are officially ready to begin. I see the score is already 5-5. Yeah, we played five games already. You didn't see it?
    66:11
    No. Pinbot, reset game scores Affirmative Okay Oh, it's 12-12 Okay, Brandon, good to see you Thank you for joining us, and I'll see you on Friday Or we'll see you on Friday Tom Carter rules! What are we doing? Skeet up, beat up! What are we doing, Twitch stream? Which one do you want to do first? Um, I know we don't have a ton of time, since, you know, I had to mess around with my DMD basically the entire stream but how about the first to get a Ripley's letter?
    66:44
    You son of a bitch. The first to get a Ripley's letter. So I just explained how difficult it is to get a Ripley's letter, depending on the continent you visit. I think Flipstream knows the continents a little better than me.
    67:02
    So, Flipstream, what's your strategy going to be on this? um it's a little tough to pick go ahead it's a little bit difficult to pick which continent you want to go to because you've got to go pop over exactly ideally you get into Asia or Australia because those are probably the two easiest ones to do I think Asia is the easiest of them all but there's three modes which is, I think it's South America, Antarctica, and North America that are multiballs that all work basically the same way as the one you were talking about with the penguins. It's hitting jackpots, relighting, hitting jackpots, wash, rinse, repeat.
    67:51
    Those are probably the hardest ones to get just because trying to get ball control in a multiball situation, even if only two, it's really hard on this table. so yeah it's best if you can go for Asia or Australia because those are the easiest Europe and Africa tend to be the harder ones because they have such short timers to complete the mode but it is doable and I also hear that Asia is easier than Pat Lauer on a weekend alright Alright, get your balls in the lane.
    68:38
    Sure. Rimside. Sorry, I didn't type it on my tablet. You count it down, bro. Alright, 99. 98. 97. All right. I've got to fix the DMD again.
    69:05
    Balls! Becca? Stay. Okay. All right. Ready? Three, two, one, go. Oh, this is the worst. I chose Europe.
    69:41
    Yeah, that's the hard one. One of the hard ones, just because of the short timer. I got to hit seven tombstones? Seven tombstones in like 15 seconds is what it feels like. I don't think I'm going to be able to do this. you can add more time from the scoop not that it's going to be helpful if you get lucky enough to get that and now you're playing upside down that's going to make it even harder alright I should just finally started a move holy cow I got two tombstone hits alright I'm going to have to time out ok so that mode is over I got to hit the right ramp to relight you finished? almost it depends if I can get ball control back here and actually sink into the varitarget hit and I'm going to look alright I am at shrunken head mode No!
    70:54
    I got two shots. Yes! Got it. Woohoo! All right, so that was a little premature on the um what you say, but I did die. Congratulations, Flipstream.
    71:26
    Oh, it didn't do the thing on the thing. Oh, my God. So that is Flipstream scoring one. Wow, I'm up to six now. You're up to six.
    71:42
    It's like football. Wow, dude. So what mode did you get into? Australia. All right. And did you get it on luck, or did you... A little bit of luck. I was going to do Asia, and it happened to clip the luck pop bumper down one. And that's the mode I was able to get into the girl from it. Walk-a-walk-a-wee. All right. I think that baked into... I think that baked into one of the shooting variations.
    72:18
    To what? No, that is actually a shooting variation where he plays both and it's bah, bah, bah, bah. It does that on purpose. All right.
    72:28
    Let us... So can I pick the duel right now? Absolutely. All right. I just got to drain out here. Nice. I like the blue. I dig the blue.
    72:42
    All right. So the next duel, my friend, is get three in a row on the Ripley's board. Any three? Any three. Any three? Any three.
    72:58
    Okay. All right. So you know what I'm going to do, right? I don't know. What are you going to? Oh, yeah, I know. We talked about this yesterday, but it's okay. I'm going to restart. It's okay. Because we have both modes now.
    73:12
    How's your 1847? What's up? Alright, so let me do this real quick for the audience. We want to get three in a row. Alright, so what we want to do is we want to shoot up to this little box here via the center ramp. okay if it says gate open at that ramp you will drop into either b or c which will light one two or three and b and c if it doesn't say gate open it will always drop into a which will light here so uh you got a ball and shoot a lane i got a ball and shoot a lane um as far as i can see how you have a trans light in your hand it's actually the whole back glass okay, back glass I was trying to blend in with the score right below me but then I realized you were already at the top so it didn't work it looked crazy so what happens is each person's kind of screen this is random in the beginning, right? randomly gives you one of each color or just randomly gives you three colors? I think it just randomly gives you three alright, so I'm in a situation where I have to hit B1 to complete it, or B2 to complete that. So I have basically one shot to go. Yes, I'm kind of same boat. I have B2 that I can get, and I would finish out a row.
    74:49
    All right, so you ready? I'll count this one down. Wild Ripley's way to rip off AI. No. Well, as I recall, Keith Ellman was a fan of this game. actually. And then made one hell of a walkthrough.
    75:07
    Yeah. Keith actually liked this game. Alright, let me know when you're ready, bud. We're going for three in a row on the Ripley's board. Okay.
    75:21
    Ready? Ready when you are. Feel the rhythm. I don't know the whole thing. Eat the stuff. Do the thing. One, two, three, flip.
    75:33
    I can't get my shot off got it oh wait I got it three in a row oh I got you got the lucky I did I got the lucky one I was going for B2.
    76:05
    And I had no... We have a problem. Brian lost. I know. That is a problem. So I got the lucky one. Okay. Yeah, but I got the lucky one anyways. Because I got C row.
    76:25
    Nah. Alright, alright. I get that because that's... I did that because I wanted it to be quick. Yeah, let's go back to watching so that I don't have a board.
    76:44
    Is that a trans light in your hand? Or? You would know, man. Patlone on a weekend joke. Holy cow, why is the technology being stupid tonight? Is your playfield frozen?
    77:07
    Certainly seems that way. Oh. That's not a Channel Point redemption. No. Not that one. We're going a little later tonight because I usually will raid Don't Panic Flip, but Don't Panic Flip right now is driving all over the country collecting pinball machines. that's what I envision George doing anytime he's not streaming he's just driving around the country picking up random stray pinball machines that are like hitchhiking you're just finding them on the side of the road yeah picking up ones that fall off the back of trucks yeah will one of you guys get in a little pool I thought this was a twitch stream Hey-oh!
    78:00
    No. Don't panic. Don't panic, Flip's Roadshow. Ah, there's another control rock thing. Oh, my God. Feels like it. Jeez. Follage.
    78:16
    Fliptronic has been following MPT3K for one year. What? One year, six months, and eight days? When did followage become a command?
    78:32
    I don't remember that being... Siraxa has been following three months, 14 days, and six hours. Flipstream has been following one month, 12 days, and one hour.
    78:42
    That's a hell of a... I think Fliptronic is winning right now. It's a command on my list. Okay. It's an old command. I keep messing with your follows. You keep unfollowing and following. Oh, okay. You do the unfollow thing.
    79:00
    So it looks like your play field is out. We got two challenges in. We're at a tie. Again? Is it out or is it working?
    79:12
    It seems like it's out. Looks like it's out. So 18 months of basically married up. Well, platonic we would be if it wasn't for the fact that I'm already married, but I like, I enjoy the sentiment, thank you.
    79:29
    Yeah, Becca, you don't have to worry, I'm already, I'm taken. Although, I hear Pat Lawler, Keith Elwin, and Steve Rich here.
    79:43
    I'm going to shut up. This is going to somehow get back to Stern. It's for the best. It's going to get back to Stern and Jersey Jack And I'm going to be banned for Hashtag dead horse Yeah I got you That's cool Hopefully that holds out a little better Alright You want to do one more challenge?
    80:05
    I'd like to do more than one Let's do three more challenges Welter Coming in hot with the tier one. Thank you, Will. What's up? Welcome back to the pinball.
    80:24
    Teatray. Lord Elwin. You call it, buddy. It's on you. Well, it's on me now. I've got to figure out a way to release.
    80:42
    Don't take the key mouse. Um, no. And my voice doesn't do that anymore. Um, what can I do? Um, I don't want to just use sport. I want to use something more fun than that.
    80:58
    Okay. How about... It's a quicker one. How about... Holy, you've got to turn that one down. Um, how about the first one to start, uh, the shrunken head multiball?
    81:15
    Okay. First one to start, shrunken head multiball. Show us how this works. Okay. So, to do that, you need to hit Frank, what I call him, the shrunken head in the back of the table.
    81:39
    Meg, another follow. Marine later. Thank you. So you have to hit that three times to light the lock. Marnie there. And that will start the ball lock mode. Then you need to lock two balls by hitting the right ramp. And then once you have two balls locked, you can finish it off by hitting one more time, and that will kick off the multivolt.
    82:04
    All right. I've never displayed it. It is crazy. It looks because it is. Yeah. It's got a lot going on. It's a lot of fun. It's hard, but it's a lot of fun. Yeah.
    82:18
    All right. So once you start the multiball, and the guy puts all the balls in his mouth, and he goes, blah, and then spits them out. Yep. You call it. Okay. I am ready, sir.
    82:32
    I've got to change it off red. It makes it seem like it's like a photo lab in here. All right. Count it down, buddy. All right, ready? Three, two, one, plunge.
    82:57
    Okay, I guess that works, I guess. Yeah, I still haven't advanced the mode yet. I started a freaking Ripley's thingy. Am I in trouble?
    83:15
    Am I in jail? If it's a multi-ball mode, yes. Okay, I just played a drain. How many have you got? So we're both still in the same spot.
    83:30
    I got all two white bigfoot value. I know these are loud, Brian, but I can't touch it right now. I'm sorry.
    83:38
    Ah! Oh, yeah, they're just going to keep doing them. I can turn them off. That's nice. There we go, finally.
    84:04
    So now I have one more hit, then I can do, I can actually do ball locks. I literally stopped playing so I could turn those down because it was... It's not balanced well on my side. It's not their fault.
    84:22
    Ball two. All right. You're going to win this one because I had to be a technician for a minute. Well, I don't know at this point because I'm ball three now.
    84:34
    You're actually deafening me too, Chronic. Yeah. I appreciate the attempt, but it's not going to help me. It's my fault because the monitor level is really super high.
    84:52
    It's definitely not Chad's fault, but it's my fault. All right. I am at... I am... You finished? No, I got the lock split.
    85:05
    All right, I locked first ball. First ball is locked. First ball is locked, my friend. Close one. Alright, good. See, if I could, I would have done... Oh. Oh, boy, that's a tough ball. Two! What? Man of flipstream locking balls. That just sounds wrong, my friend. Got it. Damn it. All right, you got it. You got it, buddy.
    85:48
    Nice. I'm going to put up one for flipstream. Bam. Have you checked your checklist? Skidop, skidop. Oh, I have to figure out a way. He took the glass off. I saw him.
    86:05
    I have to figure out a way to get the monitor level of the call outs lower. That's the one thing that I have not done yet.
    86:23
    Alright, Flipstream. Stop playing. Come on. Give it up. Give it up, Flipstream.
    86:35
    So we're going to play two more. Possibly. If you win this one though, you take the knight. If I win this one, you go to a type.
    86:51
    Where do you take it? I don't know. You take it anywhere you want. Or you can make them louder. Signed right here in Ben's.
    87:14
    I don't know where this is made. Sorry. It's on the bottom. What? It's made in 16 fluid ounces? No, no, the bottom of the can. You have to look, just turn it over and look in the bottom.
    87:34
    You know what? You're not going to make me spill out my drink. My camera's freezing again. I'm sorry.
    87:42
    Sudden death tiebreaker. Grace can make the skill shot. Love it. Don't. You were doing it. Okay? No, that's the tiebreaker. So we're going to do a different game. So the skill shot will be the tiebreaker. But right now, we are going to do... We are going to do...
    88:13
    It took a picture, but you guys are asking for things that are not even in this scene. Stuff that I'm probably not ever going to fix.
    88:23
    Let me think. That one doesn't rave on my end. You have to do that. Yeah, because it's got an internal rave on it.
    88:40
    I don know Brian what do you think I don know It your turn to pick I don I don I can remember what good on this
    88:50
    I mean, again, trying to stay away from just ones that are... I mean, we could do a Price is Right. We could do First to Get a Penguin Jackpot.
    89:03
    First to Get a Penguin Jackpot. Ooh, so that's spinners until the jackpot is lit, right? Correct. So first you get a penguin jackpot would mean we have to hit this penguin spinner. Does either one work? Yes. So either spinner, you have to spin it a certain amount of times. No, no, no, no, no. You have to actually do the loop to the orbits. So the shot between the pops on the left or the right orbit will get you the penguin loops. You get a penguin loop, so the white penguin jackpot, then you have to go up the right orbit. It'll hit a post, come back down, and then you have to hit that left spinner. Got it. Well, that's a lot. Okay. So, either this shot here, up and around, or this shot, up and around. Is that right?
    89:51
    This shot? Yep. Or this shot? Oh, those are penguin loops. Yep. Okay. It's the full orbit. It's the whole orbit. Oh, so do a whole orbit. Oh, neat. Neat. I didn't know that. I didn't know you could do that.
    90:12
    Can you... Does this actually feed out here? Yes. Hi, Micah. It can. I mean, if you get enough oomph on it. Okay. Let's give it a shot. Who's that? What's up, Good Grief?
    90:30
    All right. Trying to redeem myself here, ladies and gentlemen. Just get balls in flipper lanes. Bye. Do you want to watch?
    90:43
    Okay. I don't want to watch. Go fire up your computer and watch Twitter. I'm sorry. Sorry. What kind of a prize do you give someone who hasn't moved a... Oh, that's your bot. Jesus Christ. A trophy. How do we actually know Flipstream is the one playing? I don't. That's true. That's a good question. All right, Flipstream, my buddy. Here we go. Ready?
    91:13
    Nope. First one to start Penguin Multiball? No, no, no. First one to get a Penguin Jackpot. Got it.
    91:29
    Ready? Okay. All right. Ready? Three, two, one, go. Five. That seems like a lot. Great, I got three idols. I don't want three idols. Oh, oh, oh, oh. A mystery told me Wait Crap Maybe later I got two more to go I got one more to go Light it I got one more to go There we go Ah, they drained.
    92:33
    Penguin is lit. So is mine, but I got to plunge. Good ball. Got it. Oh, yeah. Bam, baby. Ah!
    92:49
    Woo! Well done. Y'all saw that, right? Damn! I had it ready to go, and then it drained, and I cleared. Ah, nice.
    93:12
    Pinbot, I won. Whatever. Wait a minute. Oh, Pinbot just screwed up the scores. All right. Alright, well you know what time it is now Flip screen Peanut butter jelly time? That's right, that's right Get your peanut butter jelly out Do we want to do this? We're going to do first person to make The skill shot How do you want to limit this? It's just go until you do it? You've got skills. They're multiplying.
    94:05
    That's the... I mean, because it's on a limited timer, so you have to do that at the start of the ball. So if you don't get it right away, you've got to drain out and start a new one. So I guess keep restarting games until you... Until somebody hits it. Now, you know what you can do, Flipstream? If you don't hit a switch, you can let it drain and you get another shot at it. In theory. Not always.
    94:29
    Okay. And being a physical table, I don't have as much control over that. I'm trying to process that.
    94:43
    You don't have much control over what? It's a little bit more unpredictable. Yes. If you don't hit any switches, Phantom beat me to it. Yeah, if you don't hit any switches, yeah. Yeah. The skill shot is annoying. It also depends on how you have the table set up. Even if you don't hit switch, it won't necessarily give you the ball back. It may actually still drain you out. Because I've got the freeze thing.
    95:11
    Okay. I'll let you opt out if you want. No, no, no, I'm cool. I'm not going to show you away from the challenge.
    95:23
    We want to try it? Let's try it. Chat, what do you think? Chat, you say yes or no on this challenge? Chat, yes?
    95:34
    Let me see how many people say yes for this challenge. Should we put it to a vote? Let's go. Hawkeye is saying let's go. No, we don't need a vote. No, no, no. I'm just saying if I may serve my excuse when I lose. Yeah, that's fine.
    95:47
    I'm just setting a foundation. I'm going to take my jacket off for this one because this one is tough. This one's tough. Give it a go.
    95:57
    All right, let's give it a go. Oh, did you guys see that VPE is in my high score list? Because we had that amazing chat on Monday with the Virtual Pinball Engine crew. That was cool. Go check out the vibe, and it's going to go up on YouTube tomorrow. If you want to just wait for the YouTube to show up. Serve, serve, serve, serve.
    96:21
    All right. I should have sent you Wax's Table I should have asked for Wax's Table I only asked for little bits from Hawkeyes because I don't want to bug the shit out of Hawkeyes so I only asked for little bits and pieces of things alright me too okay I don't bug you, thank you bud Flipstream, I'm going to let you count this one off alright 3 2 1 go Let's have second place Andy Get in there No no no Holy cow It's like Barely any point to move it I would train out if I was you, bro. I'm trying. Oh, you got the ball safe. Oh, you got a multi-ball? Oh, no.
    97:30
    Oh. Want to give it back? Damn it. This is ball two. This is ball three I'm on. Come on. I got this. Dammit Ah Wait Holy cow, it took forever Do we get to restart?
    98:07
    I thought so Okay We're getting closer This is game number two. Yep, I'm about to start my game number two.
    98:20
    Now, I got one of the best plungers in the industry. I got the pin... What is it called? The pin... I forget.
    98:28
    It's a terrific, terrific digital plunger. Nailed it! Oh, I knew it. It took me forever. Come on, Flipstream, I want to see you do it. Yeah, me, I do too.
    98:48
    Where is it? It's, I mean, like, pulling back the plunger about that far, and I'm actually going and hitting the tombstone for it. Just got back. Wilt, we just did the final battle. This was the, no, it's not the plunge to drain shot.
    99:05
    It's the plunge to skill shot. The skill shot is right there. Is there a pulse of this? It's tough. It's very tough.
    99:15
    I got really good at this on the physical table at Free Gold Watch for a while. So I was getting pretty much... It was a fucking two-stone shot. Yeah.
    99:29
    Even backed up the plunger brag on the shot. Plunger brag on the shot, yeah. Well, I'll tell you what.
    99:41
    Hey, Flipstream. Yeah. Let's do this. Let's finish. Let's do... First, let's do one more. Let's do one more, okay? Because we're here late. All right.
    99:57
    Most continents visited. There it is, finally. Got it. All right. Can I even do it on this one, Drew? my thing is I never try because if you miss it is so likely to go straight down the middle I just act Bumper Nugget welcome to the pretty much the end of the stream but it's okay you're bringing awesome people over to see Flipstream and I duel it out on Ripley's believe it or not
    100:39
    Oh, and then the ball gets stuck there. How cool is that? So we're going to do one more. We're going to do one more.
    100:54
    I'm going to do that, but it doesn't really matter. Peanut butter sandwich for everyone. So how do you feel about that, Flipstream? Most continents visited in a three-ball game. Okay. If you visit all continents first, you win.
    101:13
    Oh, alright. Alright. Cowabunga. Bunga. I made that funny. Alright, kids. We're doing most continents visited, which means we have to go to a continent, complete it or not keep the ball on the table shoot the right ramp go to another continent.
    101:50
    Rave should be able to take an additional style parameter. Oh, Grimmy, Grimmy, Grimmy. You don't know how hard this stuff is.
    102:02
    Oh, God. Just the rave itself is a nightmare. Fargo Fimbo, thank you for the follow. You are a legend. I know you do, Grimmy. I know you do.
    102:17
    Grimmy always drops these little things that I go, wow, I should start working on that. I should get started on that one. All right, so we are, are you ready, Mr. Stream?
    102:33
    I am ready, Mr. 3000. I've lived code for 40 years Fargo Pinball, thank you for the first time chat What, are you the electron? Do you fight for the users?
    102:51
    How many are there? There are seven continents Well Same as the real world That's okay Good grief, I got you bro There's seven continents And then there's seven continents on the pinball machine, too. R-I-P-L-E-Y-S. Is that right, Tuchine?
    103:15
    Yes. That's how you would get to Atlantis, right? As long as you're earning letters, you can keep... So once you do all of them, and then you do the hit the condom collection jackpot thing at the end, they will all reset, and you can redo them and earn more letters that way. so you don't have to do them all so if you screw one up it just means you have to reset it and earn letters as you go yeah and that's risky right there but you can do it I guess it's hard yeah here we go we're going to go to as many countries as we can I'm coming to you from outer space right now Uh, yeah, so, Waxo, the one that's in the garage goes to outer space, and I get to fight Crazy Bob.
    104:10
    Um, and Waxo says, the more you know. Ready, here we go. On your mark. Get set. It's not really a race, right? Nah, not really. And go. All right. Skill shot!
    104:25
    So, you know if you hit the scoop, you get a continent already. If you haven't started It's kind of like the edible Right I want as many things as possible right now I just want to not drink I want to not drink also Where am I going?
    104:49
    Alright, I think I finished my first continent I got lucky I got a letter too I got Asia I'm currently in Africa Son of gun!
    105:07
    Damn it! Well, okay, just do better, Manu. Just do better, bro. Shoot. I should get him. I've got it. There we go.
    105:32
    Oh, and an extra ball. Nice. I'm going to need those. Shit. Come on, Manu. Just do it the easy way. Okay. I'm going to North America.
    106:02
    Yep, I'm still in Africa. How's the weather over there? Greeny. You really did that. You really worked that in. That was well done.
    106:20
    Oh, boy. Keep going, Mon. That's the ball save. I might as well get points right now. Oh, I gotta shoot the idol.
    106:38
    Nice! I have, like, two extra balls with me. Damn it. A smart person would say, Manu, don't worry about finishing. Just get through. Okay, I gotta shoot the... I've got to shoot the... I've got to shoot the lamp. Lamp.
    107:06
    Lamp. Oh, son of a gun. Australia. Are you catching up to me? But I'm leaving to go to another continent, my friend.
    107:24
    You will not catch me. I am Carmen Sandiego right now. Here we go. Bam. I am going to Europe. Woo! I'm going to Europe. One, two, three. Europe!
    107:55
    Oh crap, I added 15 seconds to this stupid mode. This mode is very dangerous. I'm just gonna shoot easy stuff right now.
    108:29
    25 seconds, jeez I'm bread. I'm timing it out. I mean this is what it's all about, I'm timing it out. How many... I got a stupid shot. How many continents you got right now? Dang it. Time it out. Shoot, that was dangerous. I got a skill shot. All right, we just came from Europe. Oh, my goodness. Whoa! Oh my gosh! That was freakin' dangerous. Actually, ball is lit. That's good. That's what I need. Ramp! Give me the freakin' ramp! Give me the Vera Target. Oh, dang! Boy. I'm getting killed here.
    109:42
    So far I've completed Asian, Europe, and North America and I'm on ball three, but I have an extra ball waiting.
    109:57
    No! Ball three! I'm getting worked up here. Thank you. Oh my god. I need to chill for a second. Okay, I need to calm the F down. Okay, let's do this.
    110:13
    Oh, jeez. Yep, you got it. I got it? I drained out. It flew off the ramp and out. I'm trying to get... I can only get two done.
    110:32
    All right. Oh, my God. This one was the stressful one, bro. This one was the stressful one. Oh my god.
    110:43
    That was a good one. I like that one. What did you think? Yeah, it was a good one. I mean, my problem was this way.
    110:54
    Or if I did, it wouldn't actually go in and start them. I got ahead of you because I did let one mode time out.
    111:04
    Black says, that wasn't even a ball save. It was play field validation. That's right. That's right. It wasn't a ball save. So right at the end, I managed not to validate the play field, even though the ball went nuts and it drained and it gave it back. I was super lucky. So Flipstream, when are you expecting to see Ripley's go bye-bye? that's a good question could be any time I actually texted with my distributor early today and he had not heard anything from Stern yet so about Godzilla Godzilla. Essentially, I'm turning this in towards Godzilla, basically.
    112:10
    But he has not heard anything from Stern as of earlier today. I've seen people getting ship notifications around getting their premium.
    112:24
    However, I'm also hearing that Stern is shorting distributors or potentially even pushing some just off to get tables until March of next year.
    112:35
    My distributor hasn't said anything, but hopefully I'll know possibly later this week who's getting them because I'm supposed to be the first batch.
    112:47
    And yes, with a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound, he was pulling the spitting high-attention wires down. well uh if possible well thank actually i want to thank you for first of all teaching me the new way to do this so that we have all of our sounds synced and everything and everything was great um if you if you're not aware of flipstream and jedi mcmuffin and don't panic flip they're like the kind of the pioneers of making this kind of dual stream actually work smooth flawlessly and with high quality, and they've been working on it for years, and the simplest solution was just use Discord.
    113:33
    It was stare at us in the face the whole damn time. You know what's interesting? Discord never really worked with audio on my stream, but I think since I've upgraded my computer and I've changed a lot of stuff around and maybe some Discord upgrades,
    113:47
    it never worked with... It's not hanging up on me constantly. And it's not hanging up on me, And it works with a voice-meated potato, which is surprising to me. Two cans and a string. You got it, Grimmy. But I hear little kids running around outside. I got to get out of here. Thank you, buddy, for this. This is fun. We need to do this a little more when you have another, like, vintage game. Right. Yeah, or just throwing this out there.
    114:18
    Thank you, Fargo. just throwing this out there, we could settle our Batman 66 if we both played the virtual table.
    114:29
    Yeah, but you're creamy on that. That thing is brutal. But you were always, I don't know that I really even played Batman 66 since I actually owned the table. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah. But I figured that way it's fair, because you were always doing virtual and I had physical both virtual tables, so... So we could try. You can't really get more equivalent than that. The last time I did a virtual challenge was with Frisco. In fact, I think next week Frisco and I are challenging each other on the Goonies.
    115:08
    So you guys will get to see another fun... Can Link's Intensity Wheel play on the Goonies too? Well, no, not right now. But if you code some stuff, it probably can. so next week I'm pretty sure me and Frisco are battling on the Goonies cool and that table looks awesome Goonies is pretty awesome that table is pretty awesome it looks fun alright my man thank you Blipstream thank you everybody I'm gonna head out to the screen once again if you are not following Flipstream go follow Flipstream right now innovative stuff amazing stream layout and he's my buddy so just do it don't even ask just do it I will see you guys Thursday probably on location at Free Go Watch are people born oh god see I'm reading your freaking bot like it's a person you're welcome alright kids I might see you on Thursday on location at Free Gold Watch we might play something hopefully Dirty Harry is fixed I don't know we'll find out see you guys oh stop it bye
    116:44
