Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Open your eyes What can you see around? Winds of the open sky Over the siren sound This is a dream Getting the royal scar Holding a diamond blade Throwing it far Holding your breath still You turn the fire And I'll just stand and wait and fail You got it And I'm trying to tell me You got the wrong guy You got the wrong guy You got the wrong You got the wrong guy Good evening, everyone. Welcome. My name is George. Dice. Dice. Fantastic intro. 37 months and we level up immediately. You never love me mom. Does it get old? I don't know. So, Spyro, Iron Fox, Higher Peanut, The Dice, Razor, good evening. I hope everyone is having a fantastic Monday. What do we got here? Where does the time go? Uh-oh. I don't know. What was that? Oh, Dice, I think you have a couple. I think you have like two or three different sound files. It must have randomly played one of the others. No, it doesn't get old. I sing along every time. We hit stream level two. That's the Vaporwave theme. Chat's now visible. The LCD is larger. New Twitch redemption, which is the 500 XP, and stream goals are visible. Also, I think I added it to level four. There's something that's not documented. A new fun thing available at level four, which is really stupid, but it's there. And it's a level of integration, I feel like, that is just a little bit personal. That's all I'm going to say until we get there. And it's stupid, so don't be expecting a lot. So I'm sure hope we're taking the hobbits to Isengard tonight. And George had better me appropriately drinking mead and smoking from an incredibly long wooden pipe and grown a beer down to the floor for the occasion. And if not, okay, hi, everybody, says Dice. 37 months. 37 in a row? Which is one of my favorite quotes of all time. Um, hi, everybody. It's, we're, we're drinking gin and tonics. Also, um, uh, I'm doing a, uh, um, a hackathon, uh, tomorrow for work. And I am the, I'm like the coordinator. And I realized today, whoa, that means I have to put together like a slide deck and present that to a group of people. and it's not as bad as I'm making it seem. But that was a little concern. 9 a.m. tomorrow, got to get up and explain to a bunch of people what it is that they will be developing. I love that. Ablutions? Ablutions? What is... Hey, Google, define ablution. an act of washing oneself wait a second no that is ablution not oblution I don't google mess that up verbal washing got it okay oh verbal ablution And is it a wash? I like it. Whatever. I just, it's a new word and I got all excited. I'm like, oh, I can put something in the lexicon. Okay. So this evening on the drinks, by the way, this is a fantastic G&T. Also, this is, I feel like kind of facing the wrong direction now. We need to get it over here. There we go. Thank you. Thank you. On me. gin and tonic I hope everyone else is enjoying a fantastic beverage be it a water, maybe something non-alcoholic and carbonated perhaps non-alcoholic of the vegetable or fruit flavorings, a beer perhaps, maybe an IPA some sort of a mixed beverage or perhaps you're doing shots or partaking of no liquids in which I'd remind you please stay hydrated and are enjoying something of the smoky type. I don't, I almost said aerosol. That's, that's not right. Like a word to describe when you inhale the like intoxicating vapors of the substance of some stores. That's, that's the thing I want to get at there. What do you mean you don't drink? I distinctly remember you being drunk off a couple of G&Ts. Yeah, yeah. You know, a girl with hair like this. Thank you, Dice. Thank you for quoting one of the greatest films of all time, Tangare and Tonic. This is actually, ooh, this is my favorite gin. This is Empress, which changes color when you add a, or slumming it with Bombay. No, no, no, we don't, we don't, do I slum over here? No, gin, it's weird. Gin is like inexpensive across the board. The best gins are like moderately on the low side pricing of whiskeys. So I feel like it's difficult to slum it with Jim. Packing for a day road trip and partying with George. Guys, thank you for being here and partying with us. Also, it's really weird not having any music. I'm going to go hit the play. Oh, do we have any stylistic preferences on the food, on the verbal food for everyone tonight? We've got all kinds of options as long as you don't say country. That's because gin tastes bad, so no one wants to buy it. QDL, it's weird. I know there's a lot of people that would agree with you. Done. Pinmonk says Muse. Let's go do that. Nope, that is Gunship. That's not that. I know I have something with Muse. there it is, maybe I think, there we go, yes, it has it has Muse what is it playing to? there we go alright All right. We have music. Oh, Muse, Jay-Z's not here, Opportunity. Gin is cheapest. Oh, wait, Muse, raise it with like Mexican food, please. Unless you're in Wisconsin, then your cocktail will be $4 in Wisconsin. Wait, $4 I feel like is on the inexpensive side. So that's about the price I would expect it to be in Wisconsin. I also hope Spyro Dice Spyro hopes you have fun on your road trip I would agree and hope you have fun my name is Ruin Intruder you sigh thank you that should be going through now Yeah, that was weird. We dropped to zero for a second and then went right back up to green. There was a weird little hitch in the signal for a second. Hopefully I'm still here. Can one person confirm by posting the word ablution that you can still hear me and that I'm still streaming? Now it's a party. Don't you remember? You bought the first round at the many, many ablutions. Okay, many ablutions to you too, Hyropina. And he told you it'd be $12, and you said, yeah, but I ordered three, and he was like, yeah. That's what I'm saying. Oh, I got it. So it was three drinks at $4 apiece. I don't know why, in my mind, the $4 even seemed high for what the Kirkovs and Dice, thank you both. Okay, so the music should be coming through. we're killing it on the XP already. Wow, we're fast approaching level three. Ablution for 100, Bob. There's that. Mr. Hardluck, Ablution. Thank you. Those buttons to switch scenes are so small. So check this out. We've got ourselves some legit Lord of the Rings here. And many thanks to the man, the myth, the legend, Mr. Escher, for dropping and leaving this with us for a little bit while he is abroad. You never love... You never love... I can pull that voice off way too well. The... First go, happy Venom Eve to you. How excited are you? On a scale of 1 to I was going to say 11, but it kind of sounds like Venom. From 1 to Ella Venom? Does that work? Is that a pun? Can somebody double check me there? Oh, blue shins. Yeah. You're at 300. Yes. Oh, my God. Hey, Slug Granks, welcome. He's gone back to his more experimental environmental electronic style. The stuff that inspired Nine Inch Nails. Wait a second. What happened? Newer Gary Newman music is worth hearing. My name is Ruin and Intruder. Oh, wow. So, Pinmonk, if there is someone that inspired Trent from Nine Inch Nails, I definitely need to listen to them. Gary Newman. Okay, I'm going to try and remember that. Pinmonk wants to know, Hottie, how many LEs did you order? That's a really good question. Okay. I'm a little afraid that I'm actually going to like the premium artwork more because I want an all red, I feel like venom pinball machine that is done up like carnage. Is your venom exploding out your chest? Yes, Frisco, I did. Yeah, and a bunch of questions, a lot of concerns. We'll see. We'll see. But overall, I'm ridiculously excited. Dice is on the waiting list for a Venom Premium. But Dice, who did you order through? Did you order through Flip N Out Pinball? Pinball, just expecting Frisco to be like all of them. Concerns, not so much about the geometry. There's one shot in particular that, yeah. Uh, 8 Venom. Okay, so. I love this song, by the way. This game is hard. I just want everyone to know. Yeah. Um, I think you'll, I think you'll, you'll, you'll, you'll zero in on exactly what it, like, what's that? Um, so this is really difficult. What I really want to focus on is completing the multiballs. But if you can complete the multiballs, you are more than halfway there. So what we need to do, I'm just going to recap the highlights right now, which is that you need seven gifts of the elves, right? And that seventh one needs to be destroying the ring. Pinmonk is hoping for Game of Thrones by Dwight with a Ray Day assist on scoring, I'm guessing. I'm not sure, Frisco. Like, I, there's, yeah, yeah. So, I don't know. I don't know. I can't wait to talk about it tomorrow, because obviously we're going to get all the high-res awesome picks tomorrow. And then Wednesday I'll be on with, nice dice, I'll be on with Hottie, Joel, and Mike from the Pinballers, who will be live at Yagpin, to talk about Venom. on Flip N Out Pinball with Friends, which is on YouTube. So really looking forward to the follow-up there. I imagine like 99.999999% of that entire thing will just be geeking out with Hottie over how awesome Venom is. It must not be Destroy the Ring unless you destroy it twice. You need seven gifts. Oh, higher peanut, thank you. So you have to collect the seven gifts and then destroy the ring. God, it gets harder every time. Every time! And you can get three, you have to complete all three multiballs, so you need those three gifts. And then after that, you can beat four modes. And there's one other thing, oh, destroying the ring also gives you a gift. So that would be eight gifts of BL. So you sure it's not the seventh gift has to be destroy the ring? You can backhand any ramp if you're good. I've got nipples, can you milk me, fucker? Let's get, let's do something. God, even thinking about trying to go through all of this. CNK, welcome to the stream. You light the gift on destroy, but it's not collected. Oh, interesting. Okay. Okay. All right, well, you know what? If we make it that far, higher P9. If we make it that far, I may ask for some clarification. I don't know what was going on there, but... Let's work on War of the Ents. Alright, there we are, there we are. Is there a headphone kit for... I don't know. Definitely not. It's not in this machine. Like, whether or not it exists is a totally different question. Wow. Does it not know that the ball just rained? There it goes. This game is way too long to start off with such a crappy first ball. War of the Ents is one of the easier modes, I remember, because you can plunge the advanced shot. Yep. Pin Pack 2 for White Star from Pinnovators. Awesome. The one person who could probably answer that very quickly. Question of the Night. With the new Stern Cornerstone being announced, We've got at least one more this year. What do you think it'll be, and what do you really want it to be? Interesting. I want it to be a vault of... Happy to spend your money, says Pinball. A vault of Lord of the Rings would be fantastic. Okay, got it. All right, let's try that again. Did it... Did that count? Okay, it got there. Whatever. Find the shot, George. You're good. You're fine. I don't even know why I'm freaking out about rushing or anything. Gimme, gimme, gimme. 22 seconds. You know what? we just need a game where we find the shots because I could not find that shot at all yes you can add more time to some modes but not every mode it's usually like Palantir Devil's Advocate Fine. Oh my gosh. There goes Q. As long as there's a new option in the system menu to shut off the dough callouts in dough multiball. Just that vault, or do we get a Whisper's Special Collector's Edition with Unique Topper? Interesting. I mean, I'd be okay with that. Oh, with, got it, hoping for, I'm guessing, the Simpsons Pinball Party. The upper playfield on Simpsons is the smallest thing I have ever been excited about other than my wedding night. Sounds like a great joke. I don't actually get it. All right. Now we're just going for things. Something. Oh, we just hit level three. All right. So there's the Witch King, number one, plus we got a ball lock. 16 seconds. Shoot left hand. Okay. There's number two, Witch King. Tell me I got there. Tell me I got there. It was three, right? And I spotted a fellowship. Did I? I don't think I could. No, I definitely didn't complete it. How many times do you have to do that? Also, what just happened that we got to stream level three? Was that just chats? I think it was just chats. Well, that is appreciated. Welcome to stream level three, everyone. OK, it definitely was level four is where we get the fun new stuff. Um. Just like that, DPF, don't get explained. Okay. Oh. Got it, got it. Okay. A new Simpsons or a Green Day pin. And speaking of Esther, he won Classics. Oh, man, congrats to Escher on winning Classics. Hey, cheers. Cheers. Wargle. Just gifting a tier one sub. Gwargle gifted it to Kirk Hobbs. Cheers, Gwargle. Hey, great name. And my hat's off to you. Thank you and welcome. Look at that. Stream XP just cracked 1,000. Dice just gifted a tier one sub for 585 to Gwargle. That was amazing. Thank you very much. my continued hats off to you. Dice, I don't understand what happened. So, Gwargle gave out one community sub gift and you gifted a month tier one sub. I don't know why those are showing up differently. But for whatever reason, Dice, we gotta get this figured out because, oh, you know what? I know how to get around that. I just add 500 XP. So I have to go to chat. Hold on. I can do this. There we go. So that is for you, Dice. There we go. 500. there we go there we go you never love me mom okay and there we go uh oh no roboctopus is running right now and i think the lights are changing still. I don't know. We got purple. We are gathered here today to commemorate the life and untimely death of our beloved Roboctopus. Taken from this server far too soon. Though you are gone, your functionality will never be forgotten. F in chat. Oh, that's why it's like this. There we go. Now I know. Because we hit the higher levels. here we are and I don't know if you can see right there that's the new thing alright what are we doing now we need Pippin we're now in fellowship hey I have one of those there it is Okay, good. So now we're going to go... Oh, no. Oh! We're going to do it. Yours looks less green than mine. I was thinking... All right. There we go. Got it. Beautiful. Cool. Alright, we got a hit. I'm just going to be patient here. Oh, thank you, game. It's cool. It's cool. We're going to be very patient. We're just going to keep this trapped up. Ugh. Well, that sucked. Okay. So we need to work on that one again. I think we got a few of those across. We should work on that. You need to get the green tint mod. Oh, how many times do I need to tell you to stop using Lord of the Rings as a rolling tray? Seraph, by the way, welcome to the stream. Oh crap. Alright, so this is the one where we need 84 jackpots. Are you kidding me? Ugh. Yep, there was a couple of wasted multi-balls right there. So Pippin... Got it. Yeah, I know. So two balls in, you get one X on the jackpot. Three balls in, you get two X. So we need Mary. Where is Mary? Legolas, Gandalf, Gimli, Aragorn. Mary is the right orbit. Okay. Mode start is now lit. Wow. Cell processing. Good evening. And you know what? Just the fact that I kind of remembered a little bit about how the game is played, and we came a long way from ball one and two, which were awful, to ball three, which was still awful, but nowhere near as awful. Great, now that you're here, says Seraph. Well said, well said. All right. We're going to get back into this. And this time, we are going to suck less. We're going to do... Oh, no, we're not. Crap. I meant to realign for War of the Ents again. That is not what just happened. All right. Gendalf and Stunnerbot. There's one. That did not help. We just need to hit the ramps. There it is. Ugh! Not good. Got it Ah Is it going to give it to me? No. I don't even know what I'm doing. I'm just hitting things. Game is not as easy as everyone says it is. This game is not easy. Are you kidding me? That ball had some spin on it, and it decided, like, I'm going out the left outland. You can't do anything. Guys, take a point for waging war against the Ents. Sounds like treason. My heart rate is quite elevated right now. I wonder why that is. Gandalf. Where is... Oh, I see Gandalf. I see him. We got ball one locked. We've already got Boromir, so we need Gimli, Gandalf, and Sam. Wow. Yep. Well, that just... It's fine. We're focusing on finding the shots right now. We're still getting better. What do I need? Gandalf, huh? Got him. And then I need Sam. So there's Sam and now we're ready for Fellowship again or maybe this is a new game War of the Ents Uh, there's also a... Oh, no. Sure. So, what do I want to bring? We don't want to escape from the... Actually, escape from the ringwraiths may be it. Okay, we're escaping the ringwraiths, which is evidently the hard one, right? Does the game end with Jesus of Suburbia mode or Good Riddance? Good Riddance actually seems... Yeah, honestly, those are two great songs, but Good Riddance feels thematically appropriate. Yeah, no, no, no, we're good. Okay. We're actually going to try and do this where we start the game on War of the Ents. That seems like a really easy thing to achieve. It's already lit. There we go. Hey, we did it. And now we just have to find that shot. Ring race is probably easiest. Okay, maybe we'll do that one next. Golf clap. Again. Again. We're going to try that again. We are ready to start a mode yet again. So I guess let's do escape the ringwraiths. I'll take that free extra bonus shot there. um let's see here self-processing godzilla's got treasure of a pin sure you prove i like jp more self-processing. I'm in the same boat. I also prefer JP. Hey, I'll take that. What do I have to hit. Gimli? Fine. Obviously, we're not golfers today. Try a Patronus charm. We didn't hit anything. Wow. It's so funny. When I play this game in tournaments, I feel like that's how it happens every single time. got it okay we found that shot I'm feeling pretty good about that Okay. We got one. We got one. I don't know how many more we need, but we need a lot. Is it six? Six? There's two. Hey, and there's a ball. Evidently, I can't lock a ball. Oh, no. Oh, no. Got it. Okay. I don't know how many that is. That's three or four maybe at this point. Um. Okay. Four? Do you need six? That's got to be six, right? No? We got a gift. We got a gift. Okay, this is our first actual progress. All right, so we've got Locke lit. We need Sam, Gimli, and Boromir. Let's grab our Locke. And then let's see if we can... Nope, did not plunge enough there. We don't have any stacked locks. So we can try and hit Gimli and we'll get into Boromir. Oh, wow. There's Gimli. We can go Sam. Good. And now if we hit... Oh, we hit Palantir. So, but first we need to relight a mode. I think we've got one or two lit. So we need to hit an elf, which is going to be the right ramp. Okay, ball two is locked. We don't, I think, have a mode lit right now. Oh, the other elf is on Gandalf. So we need to hit Gandalf right now. If we hit Gandalf, we light a mode. After the mode, we hit the left orbit so that we can bring a multiball into a mode. I like this. I like this. We're... Oh, no. I have to start the mode first. But I did what I wanted to do. That's the important thing. Like, that's what I was intending to do. I just had a brain fart. Game. Screw you. I got Aragorn across. Whatever. We do have our mode lit. And we still have one gift, and I think we're still on ball one. So we can work towards another... Oh, our mode's lit. Because that's right, we didn't actually start it. So we can work on Pippin. And then we can do Merry, which is right orbit. That was awful. God, this is such a bear to get through. What just happened? I don't like what just happened there. Sure, sure, sure, sure. Oh, I can't loop it, huh? All right, all right. I see how this game works. All right, so we got our Adaball. We're fine. We're fine, game. No reason to freak out here. It's gonna hurt. It's gonna hurt. I'm not even gonna try until it gets there. Get it, get it! All right, all right, we're cool. We're fine. We've got three balls in, so we're at least getting two X right now. I think we've got a couple of three Xers. Gosh darn it. All right. We may... you you you you you Thank you. Oh, no. Oh, no. Crap. Okay, so we've lit Destroy the Ring, which is what you really don't want to do. I'll take that. I'll take that. Now we're ready for Boromir. Boromir, more like Boromir. Oh, we got another gift. What did we get the gift for? Oh, we completed the second mode. Okay, we're doing some things. I guess. I don't know. where is I don't know that this there we go yeah we just leave it like that there we go I don't want to destroy the ring there's the gift on the left orbit maybe oh it's 2x scoring got it Uh, we collected an elf ring towards another mode. We've got ball two locked. Crap. We finally need, actually, Boromir. We need to get up in the pops, and we're struggling right now. works for me. Human rings have now been completed, okay. Crap. Oh, we've got light extra ball now on there. Yeah. I'll get that extra ball. That works for me. Oh, and we've got golem multiball relit. How do we relight Gollum multiball? Because I just need to keep that going essentially at all times right now. Yes! Extra ball and Gollum, which keeps us out of Destroy the Ring. And... Crap, we're ready for another lock. Oh, wow. Do we have another extra? Yeah, we have another extra ball lift. Okay, so we're back in this. Good. Good. Okay. Okay. Okay. Take that. And we got our extra ball. And we lost everything. Beautiful, beautiful. No idea what just happened there. Ken. Ken. I don't know what that does. That was just weird. All right. We're so stuck right now. All right. That's ball one. Can we please get enough of those pops to get Boromir already? I do not want to destroy the ring. Screw it. Did we just say destroy the ring and then go for it all over again? I don't know, I feel like we're doing okay right now not going for the ring oh and then that happens so we've got two extra balls right now and I think that was ball one I think, yeah we're still on ball one Oh my god, what happened? I'm so behind on chat. Like, no chat was moving and suddenly 600 messages just showed up. I feel like I was ignoring you guys. That is not the case. Alright, so we're destroying the ring. Shoot the lich god. Sorry, everybody. I have to catch up. There's one. Two. Three. Four. Four. And now we need two shots up the middle. All right, let's see if we can do it on the fly here. There it is. There's one. We need one more. Get in that hole! Come on! That is four shots! game you were being a jerk that is four rejected uh shots there all right so i gotta catch up here um shoot through golem saucer why don't you want to destroy the ring i was trying to avoid it so that way i could end on it but i guess we're destroying the ring and then we'll come back and we'll do it again uh three elf rings this mode nine rings uh is nine rings is golem got it Hey, Chaotix, just increased the stream XP by 500. Is that going to be enough? Oh, did it already happen? I was waiting for the plus 500 thing. Yeah, I'm guessing it already happened. Well, thank you. My hat's off to you. Yes and no, but it can be good to hold off if you're near or going to get seven gifts rather than play every multiple. Yeah, then you have to go through it again. So you don't want to destroy it if you are close to the last multiball, because then you have to relight and play off. Yep. Hey, Chaotix, subscribe to their prime for 16 months. Chaotix, my hat's off to you, and thank you very much. Welcome. I hope things are going well. You're not getting enough gifts to hold off. Okay, yeah, good point, good point. I shouldn't be holding off. There goes my extra balls. Two in a row. That was fantastic. Okay, we're ready for another mode start. Yeah, let's do the... Oh, my God. Just get up there. We want to collect Boromir. Yeah, I think that's what we want to do. I don't know an easy way to get into the pops. I guess left orbit. That does it. All right, we got Boromir. So now we just need to hit the mode start. Beautiful. Mode start. Oh, my God. Get in there. Get in the hole. All right. Get in the hole. There we go. All right. We got a mode, and now we're going to on the fly hit this left orbit. I meant right orbit. Gosh darn it. All right. Left orbit. Thank you. Wow, three balls in there. Oh, no, don't time out. Oh, no, don't time out. Okay, there's that. All right, it's cool, it's cool. We're going to capture that. Beautiful. Hit the right ramp. Got it. Pippin is now crossed. Beautiful. Now we're going to hit the Frodo shot. That sucks. Come on. Darn it. All right, there goes ball two. Ah, J-land welcome. What it's worth, when George ignores me, I get a lot more done. C and K, I'm so sorry. I ignored everybody, though, only because I didn't realize that there was actual chat coming in. I scrolled. Somehow something got stuck on this up here. CNK. I'm scrolling up. I'm looking for the last chat. Hey, blue hat wearing penguin, welcome to the stream. Pretty decent media content, frameworks that a lot of large sites are built off of, but that's about it. Most of my stuff is WordPress due to the HOS my clients use, plus it's open source like Hugo. Pinmonk is in for whichever Venom they can get first, so that's Pro or LE. Maybe both. You ended up with both on Foo. I didn't realize that. Squalito. And yes, JP is still my number one game. That said, oh, it was nothing important. I scrolled up a lot, though. I was looking for it. Call out for beating that multiball, one of the best in pinball. Okay, I'm excited. I'm excited to get there, Seraph. Opportunity for improvement, though. On my side, just to suck a little less. So we've got another mode. Okay, what is this? We need Gimli here. So there's Gimli. Now what? Now we need Gandalf. Got it. And now we need Legolas. Got it. Now we need... I'm going to go with Merry. I actually couldn't tell. Nope. It's Aragorn. Come on. Man, just hit the shot. A little. darn it got it what just happened did i keep it going i escaped oh wow there was there was there was a huge yeah that was cool you would know the call out if you've seen the movie do summer drink take ice water and just add a ton of sky pear vodka Yum. Ooh. Just drink pear vodka? I think I would do that. All right. Two towers and return. So we got our skill shot there. There. We've got 2x scoring over there on the left. What do we need? We need Merry, Frodo, Gandalf, Legolas, Gimli, Boromir. Those are the ones that are currently listed. So let's hit Merry. Got him. And now we're in Return of the King. I feel like this one has just hit the left shots, right? All right. Okay nope now it is There we go There we go Okay. Good. So that was phase one. That could have been better. So we've got Gollum multiball lit. And we need a lot more shots. I'm inclined to go for Gollum here. I guess let's grab Frodo. What do we need? We need Gandalf, Frodo, Legolas, Gimli. I guess let's go for Gollum and Gimli. Seven. Did you know if you hit the shots in order, one, two, three, when they relight, they all get plus one X? I did not. Is that scoring plus one X or progression one X? Here we go. So there's our Gimli and Gollum, which is fine. We're going to go Gandalf. Missed it by that much. Uh, what do we need? Legolas. Got him. Gandalf. Found it. Totally. Uh, Gandalf. Got it. Got it. Can we get a lock? Yeah, let's go ahead and grab a lock shot. Got it. Beautiful. Making some progress here. I don't know. We're hitting shots. Oh, that was crap. All right, so we need Frodo. All right, so we got our... I don't know which super that was. Oh, wait. Oh, we beat the mode! Hey! And Golem multiball is lit again? So what do we work on now? While we're still in this multiball, what else can I work on? Thank you. Come on. We still got Gollum multiball there. Okay. There we go. We drained out. Okay, we can destroy... Attempt to destroy the ring again. Vormir. We've got Frodo lit. And destroy the ring. I do have two gifts lit. Okay. It would be great... I don't know how many two towers we're at. We have three... We have a fourth gift lit right now. We do have Destroy the Ring. Get up there. And there's our final gift. This is going to be big points. Seemed huge. Personally, I was a fan. So, it kicked it right back out. All right, so we're going to backhand that and then try Legolas. All right, can we hit Frodo here? All right, so there's one. Unamas. How did that not count? Come on! Just hit the shot! Come on! Oh my god. Then you need there and back and to destroy one more time to end. All right. Let's see. Dice was the first person tonight. Dice. Dice. Frisco, thank you. dice what are your initials i don't know why i cannot for the life of me figure it out it does it takes so much frisco dice if you stepped away i'm just doing dce because that i know is dice done oh my gosh no no it's fine we're gonna we can do better we can do better what time is it it's 11 30 yeah we definitely can do better We did finish two towers. Man, I will take that. That was pretty cool. Okay, we'll also do that. 2x plus two towers. You got $45 million out of that multiball. It was a decent multiball. Hey, it gave me Samwise. Hey, I'll take it. There we go. Two. All right. Only four more shots. God, that takes forever. Three. All right. Three more in 16 seconds. I'm guessing this is the OG Flipper Rubbers. 11 seconds. That does stop the timer. Decent. You got four of all two towers, the supers, and victory lands. So 2x is going in. I want to get to the wizard mode. And we only got, I think, four of the gifts of the elves lit. And honestly, I feel like it's because I can't. Oh, no. One shot left. Did not complete that. There goes one gift. There's one. All right, we still need Legolas, Gimli, and Boromir. Let's see if we... Oh, no. Hey, we plunged into the pops. There's Legolas. Right through Gimli. Let's see if we can hit Gimli here. Close. All right. that gave us Boromir. Yes, there's Gimli. So now we're ready for Return of the King. How did that... I don't understand. Did that start it? It's going to hurt. Got it. And right orbit. What multiball am I in right now? I didn't hit the left orbit. Oh, how did I get into Return of the King? Gimli in both orbits. Okay. Whoa! Lord BBH bringing 226 beautiful individuals over here. Lord BBH, my hat's off to you, and welcome. Raiders, if you're just joining us, we're trying to get to the end of a very difficult game, and that is on Lord of the Rings here. We're trying to get to Valinor. It hasn't happened yet. And it probably isn't going to, but thank you. And Lord BBH, wow, I hope your stream is fantastic. And Lord BBH, I don't know if you follow the pinball world, but Venom just got announced, and the full release is hitting the internets tomorrow. We're all very excited, and that's what we were just chatting about. Okay, so we got a minor bit of progress on that one right there. We still have a mode start. We do need Gimli in order to... I thought I actually did hit Gimli. There we go. All right, all right, all right. Fellowship is lit. So now what we're going to try and do, we have fellowship lit. So we're going to start a mode here in the middle. No, we're not. Missed it by that much. Oh, no. We're going to try that again. There we go. Good. Okay, so now we're in Borg battle. I'm going to let this feed the ball down and try and hit this left orbit. I'm going to try and hit this left orbit now. There it is. So that's going to start our multiball. Now we're bringing the multiball into this. Hey, the cool popo, that is a polycade behind me. All right, we're just going to be patient. All right. Boromir cross. Oh, Mystery can also randomly start the King. Okay, I was unaware. Because we got into Return of the King way too easy. We've got two seconds left on Warg. We did not get that. We've got Gollum ready, and I don't know how many locks on two towers. So let's try and do that over here. There we go. All right, so now we're in Golem Multiball. Now we can start working on trying to get back into Fellowship. There's Pippin. We're ready for another... I'm going to try and backhand that shot and double flip and lose it. Pinball Rocker, welcome to the stream. So, yeah, sorry, Cavs behind. You can see the polycade. We've got a Bill Dragon's lair. It's sitting on my table over here. We've got Defender back there, Tempest, Rampage, and then other pinball machines we have here. We've got Lord of the Rings, Walking Dead, Mandalorian, Jurassic Park, and Foo Fighters, and what we were just talking about is Venom, which will be here very soon. I've already got one on order, so I'm excited for the big release tomorrow. I think this should be a lot of fun. What are we on? Ball 2. We have no gifts from the elves right now. I don't know what lock we're on towards the two towers. We do have another mode lit. That's not good. So let's focus on the mode first. There it is. Or not. I don't want to start the multiball without a mode. All right, lots of craziness going on right now. Do not hit the lock. It just added a 5X bonus. I'm okay with that. There we go. So we got our mode started. Now let's hit that right ramp and see if we can bring in a multiball. All right, right ramp. Got it. Please be the multiball. Yes. Perfect. Now we just hit all of the things that are flashing red. All right, what are we going to hit? Oh, my God. Hit a shot. Wow, that was a big, big waste. I know, I know. Venom is up there with a theme that I'm genuinely interested in. All right, so we're going to try and destroy the ring, just because, of course, we can't hit the shot anymore. But Venom seems awesome. I'm a huge fan of Todd McFarlane. So whether, I only recently, see, I was introduced to Venom when he was really just a bad guy. guy that Spider-Man was fighting against. I never really went hard into the Venom lore, and of course the movies came out. So I started to get interested in the character. It's great too, because I love Venom as a bad guy. I love the concept of the suit and the warring person inside, but never, there was a good like ten years there where I kind of fell out with comics and I wasn't collecting them anymore. Fargo Pinball, welcome. Meeple Eater, Are you going to play at Comic-Con? No. God, that'd be awesome. That's where it's being announced, I think. Pinball Rocker, can't I am from Germany? Oh, I'm sorry. And Fargo can't wait to see Venom out on location. Yeah, you and I feel like every other location owner right now, any time a new pin comes out, it's great. But when you get something as beautiful as Likely Venom is meant to be, When you got Zombie Yeti on the art and there's obviously some depth to the code because you've got Dwight on it. It's pretty awesome. Also, not being able to hit that shot is a struggle. I know. Hey, Twitchow. Great name. I don't know why I was thinking of, like, Cacao. Ugh. Uh, oh no. Wow, that had some spin. You know what? It's cool. We don't even need that. Mmm, cacao. Uh, you were supposed to have some more gin. It really doesn't know. Oh. The ball just rained. It's fine. It's fine. Hey, Razor, have a great night. Thank you so much for hanging out. That weird gap, it was like a good 15 minutes there where this, my chat wasn't updating. That sucks. I apologize. I just thought it was really quiet in here. Like, it's cool. I will just attempt to make some progress here. And we'll see how things go. I'm going to keep trying to make some progress with the little bit of time we have here tonight. I know it's 1140, and if we get a good game, there's a really good chance that it's going to go for 45 minutes. That is the struggle with this game. Man, it's such a commitment. I want to fucking tear you apart. There we go. Got it there. Also, let me alert the rings. The machine has been making a ton of money lately. You got to get the color DMD for it. It's amazing. Fargo, this is on loan from Escher, so this one's not mine. There's one. All right, let's see if we can get this. Two. Awesome. You're feeling Perry. CNK, I don't know if you know this, but I actually love pears. I got some fresh pears from, I don't know where they are. They're maybe some of the most amazing pears I've had. Oh, no, I didn't get pears. I got peaches. I don't know why. I confuse pears and peaches. I sure doesn't need it. Well, exactly. Yeah, he's in Australia. So he didn't need it. And obviously, I need some time on this game. I think that's five. Also, I'm going to move this slightly. Hopefully we don't get in danger. Yeah, there we go. Done. That is our first gift from the elves. That's a good start. Oh, my God. And we just started Return of the King. Okay. Cool, cool, cool. There's one. There's one. So this is just... you you you you you So we got Pip and Oom. We got our super ring frenzy. So we just need Sam and we can get back into fellowship. We also need a mode. Yeah, I don't care about the ring frenzy here. I went for it anyways, but I really didn't care about the ring frenzy. Although, is there a gift if you can complete the ring frenzy? Oh, I think there's an extra ball, right? There we go. So we got the skill shot. And really got to find... So it's Legolas is there. Got to find Gandalf. Missed it. Okay, whatever. I'll take that shot. What do we need? Do we need Pippin? Not anymore. Gandalf. Got him. We need Aragorn, which is that backhand. Got it. And it's also a lock. Then we need Frodo, Gimli, Vormir, and Sam. Checking at that time. Gimli... Gimli, Boromir, Frodo, and Sam. So let's try Gimli again. Yeah, there we go. There's Gimli. Now we can try Sam on the fly here. Also getting an E towards keep. Uh, what do we need here? Frodo and a Modestar. What did it give me? Okay, now we need Frodo and Sam. Let's go ahead and do Frodo here. What am I in? Crap. Gandalf or Saruman, which I think is just the two ramps. Like, all-day ramps. There's one. All right, let's see if we can hit Legolas. Got him. Right ramp. Nope. Got it. Oh, we got a ball lock. Got it. Get it in there Yes Give it to me Give it Is it Did it It did not give it to me All right, so we're still back in the ring frenzy. Did it give it to me? No. Oh, my gosh. Your grace period with the ring frenzy and not the mode. Ah, yep. Okay. I'm surprised I didn't get a second grace period, though. Maybe you only get so many grace periods. All right. And now, Return of the King. Got it. So we got our Anabal, which is great. Ah. Crap. And there it goes. Fellowship. Awesome. Just bad multiball, I feel like, after bad multiball. There's that. Beautiful. Now we're going to go... Oh, my God. Okay, we got the edible. Beautiful. Now we need Frodo. Got him. Beautiful. All right, so we're going to go Frodo. Frat. All right. I don't know how many more we need on fellowship. Fellowship. Sam got cross. Kim Lee. Woo! All right. We made some progress there at the last second. I think it was just too late to catch both. Okay. I'm going to move that table back over just a little bit. Let's see if we can actually destroy the ring. Well. There we go. So we're going to try and destroy the ring. I don't think we have any gifts right now, so this should be fun. Right ramp. Sucks. Oh, my God. Don't die. Don't die. Right ramp. Come on, backhand. Thank you. And we drink. All right. Ball three. Gosh. This game is such a commitment. All right. And now we hit it like it's nothing. I don't... It makes very little sense to me. We're going to try that again. I'm going to try the girl. Not working for me. There it is. Rainbow. I know. So many more. All right. So that was ball three. We got time. We got time. We got at least one more. it's just a little bit of work I have to do tomorrow not a lot alright what do we need we've got mode start done I feel like the magnet in destroy the ring is like it's reversed or something like it doesn't suck up the ball anymore Dreambow, I'm attempting Valinor. It's not going to happen but that doesn't mean I'm not frustrated by it. And man, finding the Gandalf shot is so tough. Honestly, I think I need to give up on finding that shot, because I can't. And just hit the left and right orbits. Like that. That's way easier for me. Yeah, the pitch is... But, man, if he can do it, I can do it. All right, we're going to have to hit this right when it comes down. One, two, three, four. Well, there is a failed mode right there. The timing on that is just so rough. All right, what do we need? We need Aragorn. Let's go Pippin. That's right, on top of that There is only one danger In this game That's how it's set You either get two or you get You either get a danger You get a single danger or you get Three dangers And then a tilt So yeah, it's either you get A danger and then a tilt Or you get three dangers and a tilt And that's how the rules are set up It's very weird Okay. About the magnet, I was under the impression, too, that it tries to reject the ball and destroy the ring. And there and back again, it just seems to suck it in. There's our Sam. Let's see if we can get a Lockshot and Aragorn on the way out here. Let's try that again, shall we? There we go. What do we need? Pippin, so we need this left orbit. You can't extend the mode timer by shooting Palantir. We need Legolas, Gimli, and Pippin. Let's grab Pippin. What do we need now? Legolas. Gimli. We collected Gimli, but that was a beautiful shot, a reject, right down the middle. Oh, wow. We're already at ball three. This is just not the best game we've had tonight. It's fine. Yeah, classic magnet issues. And if you take too long, the final shot magnetizes the hell out of the ball, right? All right, so that's going to give us our – I should have brought in a multiball, darn it. I mean, I should have brought in a mode. Beautiful. Beautiful. Okay. Thank you. Oh, my God. Just find the shots. Screw it. Kind of want to be patient, but at the same time... All right. How many more do we need? Oh, it tells you the progress right there. So we've got five across. Beautiful. Beautiful. Got six across. We need three more. Crap. All right, three more. That wasn't bad, though, for progress. All right, so I think we're, I don't know. Pippin on the fly. Two more. Gandalf doesn't go across. That's right, because you shall not pass. All right, all right. One more, one more, because that was not a great game. There it is. All right, we're going to get our skill shot. We're going to make some progress here. You know, I don't want to start with War of the Ents anymore because I struggle so much to find that job, especially right at the beginning. Nice. Okay, I'll take it. We've got Mary. Hello. Hello. So, higher peanut, do you have another first mode I should focus on besides Ents? Okay, so we've got Gandalf. We need Gimli. What else do we need? We need Frodo. We need Boromir. We need Sam and Pippin and Gimli. I mean, that was the shot. It's just not going to give it to me. Yeah, there we go. There we go. Okay. So now we've got Gimli. We need Aragorn, Sant... Let's see. Jesus. Jesus. Now we need Aragorn. Got him. And we got a lock shot, which was great. Ah, really? Really? All right, we need Pippin Sam Frodo. Beautiful. Let's go, Pippin. Really? Oh, come on. That felt good, though. Sid Heresy, welcome. Ensign's ideal. Maybe the bard is going to collect a bunch of fellows and keep. There we go. I like that. Ah. Salmon Pippin. Pippin is easy. That's not supposed to be difficult. All right, fine pippin' again. I don't know why I lost that shot. I feel like I've been on that shot all night. Sid Harrison, I've never seen the Lord of the Rings. this is in it's in very good condition it's also uh it no led lights on it all right so All right, so we've got to hit Sam there. Good. All right, Fellowship is lit. We've got a mode start, so let's hit the mode. What do we want? So let's focus on Ents now. Let's see if we can bring in Fellowship and just drain everything up there. Okay. Okay, we got it in the shot, which is great. Okay. We could just do that all day. I got hired to do an LED mod for a table, and I'm really trying to match the color temperature of the LEDs. That's awesome. If you can do it, it actually, I mean, it looks great. We just started Return of the King. What? Got it? Is it going to? No. Alright, let's go Legolas. I think phase one is done. We need four phases. I hit Palantir thinking I was going to get that add-a-ball. Return of the King is, for me, the hardest part of the whole game. Four phases, four, was it? No, it's eight phases, I think, right? Eight? I think it's eight phases. Ugh. Okay, we've got another mode start. We already did War of the Ents. We've got two towers and fellowship lit right now. Yeah, let's start a mode. There we go. And it definitely sucks it in. All right, now left orbit. Got it. Thank you. It's perfect. All right. Whatever. That was not a great fellowship. Thank you. All right, so it's also going to let me start Destroy the Ring. Four shots. One. Two. Three. Right orbit. And then... Oh my god. Hey, Spyro, have a great night. Thank you so much for hanging out. It is quarter after twelve. Make sure to bring either Gollum or Lit Palantir into work so you have four balls, which is three X jackpots. Okay? Man, I feel like I can't end on that. I just want to get, like, one solid game in. And the shots just keep, I feel like, moving. As to how to hit them, it keeps changing. There's one. Oh, two towers. Oh, right, so that way you get the... That makes a lot more sense. Why didn't he give that to me? Alright, we got ball one locked. Didn't quite get there. All right, what do we need now? Wards. Didn't quite get there. We need Sam, Frodo, Gandalf, Legolas. Of course we need Gandalf, because I can't find that shot for the life of me. I gotta find it. There it is. It's just a little bit earlier than you would think. There it is. Okay, so now what do we need? We need Sam, Gimli. Gimli is that shot. Got it. We still need Boromir. We've got Palantir lit, which is probably going to give me Boromir at this point. That was a good slide. No! Game, work with me. Work with me here. Uh. I'll bet Palantir will give you a bonus ex-fuse. All right, so I have Sam left. Sam, there we go. Thank you. spot a thousand souls. We've got modes lit. Alright, so Shalob. You gotta hit that scoop up there. There it is. Hmm. Hmm. Have the stack. All right, what do we need now? We need Mary to get back into that. We've got... Oh, no. We've got a lock shot there. And there it is. Ball two locked. We've got another lock. We've got Sam. We do not have a mode start lit right now. That would be really good. But the elf. And that's the grace period. Oh, right. There is a grace period for the Adaball, and we've seen that a few times this evening, but that was it. Oh, it's over here. Everyone, thank you so much for hanging out tonight. My name is George.
