Hey, what's happening guys? Hang out a little bit. I'm going to get this stream rolling here. All right. Am I up? I think I'm up. Alright, alright. Let's see what we have here. Alright, let's play, I'm going to warm up a little bit here. Some late night EM action. music to my ears. Stay up now. I really need to fix that spinner to the left. Get in there. No! I need to I'm trying to try to roll this thing to 100,000 It's always my goal when I play this thing I love it Ah shit That's an EM for you I usually hate EMs. I hate them, but I found this one super cheap and fell in love with all the bells and ripping that spinner. Drano. Drano. I wonder if anybody ever streams EMs on Twitch. and it's worse couple games in this before we shoot for a hundred thousand Like a dagger in the heart of Dracula. Woo! Give me the goosebumps. Give me the goosebumps. Let's see if I can get my tap pass on. Oh, too much. Too much tap and not enough pass. Oh yeah, it's like going to the casino. No. Bum, bum, bum, bum. Oh, yes. All right. Last ball here. This is a five ball game. Let it... Woo! Listen to the spinner action. That spinner is just a dud to the left. The right one is just like butter. I'm not even going to flip it. Not even going to flip it. All right. That was 68. That wasn't too damn bad. 68,000. Let's see if this is on the screen. 68,360. Let's get another one going here. so I am playing I'm playing with the garage open tonight it's a beautiful night that's a beautiful spinner shot yeah you try to get in there and then you try to get in there that's what I've found to be the most that's two in a row get back in there ah there it is look at that sweetness sweetness. If I could do that all night long, I'd hit 100,000 in a jiffy. Man, on EMs, you've got to be able to nudge. Those red lights up top there mean if I can get that, then I'll get a special when lit. Let's try to get that spinner again. Oh, ripping them Still didn't hit my red shot up there I need that Doesn't really give me anything, I don't think Oh, you guys, we're going for the hundred early tonight That's good because I was getting ready to go to bed And I was like, you know what? I've got this thing set up for For the old EM, so why don't I do that? I'm killing this first ball There may be no need to play another one. Oh, geez. Wow. Watch him score. Roll. Roll him, baby. Get in there. Ah. Okay. Watch that bonus, you guys. Keep rolling. Oh, my God. That was a 60,000 point ball one. Well over halfway to our goal of 100,000. But here's where the EM bitch slap show. Because it doesn't even care. It's rude. You'll dream. There it is. See? Huh. See? That wasn't good. That wasn't good at all. 73,000. We've got three more balls left. surely I can get 25,000 with three balls right good start don't 78,000 two balls left here's how I blow it all it takes is a long ball here That's still not enough. It's not there yet. Get out. Alright, this is it. Let's throw all the marbles right here. I need 10 grand to get 100,000. Can he do it, ladies and gentlemen? 10,000 points for ball five. Let's see if he's got it in him, ladies and gentlemen. That's a good start. Getting to the bonus. Oh, and then he drained. Right there. 95,000. 95,000. Damn it. Five more thousand. It's okay. We're going to get back in it. All right. So what do you guys need to know about this EM? They're all basic. Every one of them. Basic. Um, this one's unique because it has two spinners, which is awesome. The left one is a bit on the fritz. The right one is smooth as butter. That one, you hit that thing and you feel palpitations in your chest. All right, um, there's also this, uh, little tunnel here or this little, uh, bunch of, uh, what are we going to call that? What do you want to call that? Drive-thru? No, not a drive-thru. Canal? Maybe a canal? But anyway, it's got a rollover in there and then whatever is lit Basically you're trying to light this side By getting it in this lane with the winds lit or like the right rollovers by getting it in that lane when it's lit So when I'm plunging I'm trying to go for That lit lane that lit lane or the middle. I do not want these lanes at all This is gonna advance your bonus three, which is good. It's all about bonus on this. Alright, so let's try to get a good game in here. Oh, that was a worse spot for it to plunge, but it's alright. So like on many older pinball machines, you don't want to be down in this area. You want to be up in that area because it reduces the possibility of draining. So, that's the goal. So ball one was a bit of a stinker there. So we're trying again, bad plunge there. Come on Zach, there's a bonus shot. wiggle wiggle wiggle now wiggle too much too much of a week my ball three we man we've got nothing going here all takes is one ball on an Ian though he's trying to catch up oh and we got it see be patient oh that could be trouble that could mark trouble and it did Okay, 50,000. Fourth ball. So I need 50,000 and the next two balls here. Nothing. Because again, the goal is to get to 100,000. because it's a good challenge and it's fun to roll over the, uh, it's fun to roll over the reels. Okay. All I need is what? 47,000. That shouldn't be tough. All right. So see, I went over that rollover and those three, or I went over that, uh, what are those called? I don't know, but the, they lit up. Okay. Shit game. Shit game. shall we we shall all right we're reset at zero there is something about these older games though just the feel of them the sounds not where i wanted to go there it's not like i was old enough to be around this was what 75 some of you might have been born in 75 I think it would be interesting to have lived in that time period just because you hear so many stories about it so this kind of stuff kind of I don't know I like the history behind it just thinking like here's the thing for me it would be so awesome to think the life of this pinball machine. Like, what has this pinball machine been through since 1975 now to 2017? Here it is. It's still working. It's still functioning very well. But where in the hell has this pinball machine been? I love thinking about that. It's a trip, man. So it probably started out in some old saloon. I'm joking. It probably started out in a bar. Oh, that's a big Brick Zek. I wish there was a way to follow the history. I wish you could register them all and stuff just to see. Just to see where they've been. Where's that spinner love at? Gotta hit that spinner There it is Alright let's have a good ball here Zank Let's do something special Shall we? Come on Save that ball Oh that was a bad one That was my fault. My fault. Okay. Ball four. 34,000 points. Let's try to get it in there. Stay down. That's all right. Lift the left side. Lit. Lit the left side. by the seashore. And that poor spinner is such a letdown, isn't it? There it goes. Stay out. That's not very nice. Alright, 41. Did the flippers work? Dang. See, I was getting ready to go to sleep. I was out here hanging out. I was editing a video for our YouTube show straight down the middle. And we got a Star Wars review coming up. So that's what I was doing. And I about went in and I thought, you know what? This thing looks so pretty. Just sitting here as it is. Stay down. So let's turn on and do a little late night EM action. So thanks for coming to hang out. And again, the goal is to get to 100,000 tonight. 100,000. You think you got it in us? Come on. Come on. Come on. Need to rip that spinner something nasty. Nope. Alright, here we go. Oh, that buzzed. Well, it would have hit the spinner, but the spinner's not down. Which makes it even tougher. Alright. It's not the greatest ball one. I always tell myself, if you average about 20,000 per ball, you'll roll it over at 100,000. and again, I, honestly, guys, I hated, I hated EMs, there we go, couldn't really stand them, I was like, these are so freaking boring, I was used to new Stearns and Valley Williams and stuff, but then, yeah, I found this one cheap, and there's many nights, I shit you not, like, I am such a new school pinball player, but there's some nights where I don't even turn on you know Ghostbusters or anything like that and I have a small collection so it's not like I've got 40 pins to mess with Drano yeah sheiks that's what I was saying earlier I don't know if anybody streams EMs I've never seen maybe because they're so boring I don't know there's something special about them And it's late night. What is it, midnight? Where you guys are at? What time is it? Here it's almost midnight, I think. I don't sleep. Screw sleeping. I need no damn sleep. I got pinball to be playing. Get out of there. Chicago. Bing, bing. Who doesn't love that sound? Love it. All right, ball four, 42,000. We're trying to get to 100,000 and roll this behatch over. Oh, Zachary. That was a bad one. Sheiks, 1, 2, 1, 3. Oh, it's 12. I'm like, 1, 2, 1, 3, what is that? 12, 13. Wait a minute. Yeah, that's what time it is here. So you're in central time zone as well. I know Greg, my pinball buddy, who does the YouTube shows with me. He's always like, he goes to bed at like 9 o'clock like an old man. And he's like, I don't know how you do it because I'm out here shopping machines and shit. I love it. I'll do that until like 2 in the morning sometimes. It's my quiet time. I've got kids, I've got a beautiful wife, and I don't want to take a lot of time away from them during the day, so I stream at night. And I really don't give a shit how many people watch or hang out. I'm going to be playing anyway, so I might as well record it and stream this bad boy. Get up there. There we go. I wish you could hit it into that hole more. Oh, you hear that? Woo. That's goodness. I'm bumping the camera and shit. Stay. Oh, what's a save? All right now. Well, we didn't get anywhere near a hundred thousand on that one So what have you guys been up to tonight Was it Saturday night Yeah Or for some of you guys Sunday morning Happy Saturday, happy Sunday. What have you guys been doing? I went, uh, I'm not a big, I don't like going out much. I work, uh, throughout the week and part of my job is communicating with a lot of people. so usually on the weekends I just freaking like to hang out and chill but went out tonight to dinner with my wife um went to a bar had a drink then we came home and tomorrow we get to go canoeing that wasn't my idea but hopefully it'll be fun come on Zach just got done playing some Donkey Kong oh arcade. Sheik, you talking about like the stand-up traditional arcade or like Nintendo stuff? Get in there. Oh, Steve. Alright, here we go. Alright, Zach, you're going to have to be more accurate with those spinners. Never got into the arcades. Got a lot of buddies with them. There it is. It always feels so good. I love newer games. I mean, that's my thing. But, man, there's nothing like that shot to the spinner there. Alright, so now my extra ball is lit if I can go over that rollover. But I don't think it awards you an extra ball on this oldie. is. Rip that spinner. Oh, bad spinner. Good spinner. And then I drank. Sheiks, this is a 1975. I tell you what, man, or woman, this, well, I guess woman would be derogatory. Young lady? I don't know. It seems like it'd be a lot older than 1975. That ain't no shit, because, what is it, into the 70s, damn, early 80s, they started making solid states, computer board pinball machines. So, yeah, it feels old, looks old. It's been through it. It's been through it. That's what I said earlier. I'd love to be able to know the origin of this, the history, like where it's been, what places it went to, the shit that this thing has seen since 1975. Oh my God. I would kill to know. I would kill to know. Got a Donkey Kong Jr., or a Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Popeye, Outrun, and Pac-Man stand-up cabs. Well, that's a hell of a collection. I really like Bally's Freedom EM machine. I don't know if I've played that. I think that one is, oh yeah, yeah, are you talking about Spirit of 76 i think it's spirit of 76 i have played that one that's cool like ems again i don't like them much but i'm not even gonna flip i don't like them much but if they have a couple core things that i freaking love them a couple of core things i love is like a a saucer like that but up top and not one that funnels in one you actually have to hit as a skill um spinners i always love horseshoe orbits. I always love those too. Alright, so ball one, 3,500. That was a house ball. Might as well have been. That's two of them. Alright, ball three. Get over there. There it is. That's what nudging will help do. So I try to hit that. You can't directly, I don't think, hit that. I don't think you can. Maybe. But you're trying to advance the bonus the whole time. Sit down. Uh-oh. I got freaking lucky there, didn't I? Alright, now, since I went over that, the left side of the light, now those are worth, I think, a thousand. Oh, and then I blew it. And it's going to reset the next ball. It's all going to turn off again. I know I'd ask you guys does this sound usually when I'm streaming a game I'm like is this does the game sound alright is it good but I can't change this one it's just mechanics and bells and reels and switches alright this is the game guys 100,000 points right here we're going to roll it over you ready here we go It's going to be a good one. I feel it. Sit down in there. There you go. That's a good start. That'd be a better start if I got in there. Alright. Alright. Man, that flipper is... Or that spinner is dead. Oh. Boo. Sounds like an EM, it does. Which I think is beautiful. you guys can maybe even hear right now I've got that switch I think it's stuck so you can hear it buzzing see if I can free it up see I freed it up there sometimes it'll go wonkers on me if I I hate that I get the nicest freaking save and then that happens. Bing, bing, bing, bing. Reminds me of a slot machine. Back in my day, back in my day when you went to a casino, you had real slot machines that made noises. Now it's all computers. It is true though. If you guys ever went to a casino here recently, everything's freaking video. There's no rules. You can't pull. No levers. There's no coins dropping out. I hate gambling. That's kind of the only reason I liked it. Because all the sights and sounds. I didn't like the smells of the casino. You know what I mean. Oh, I I missed that horrible. Alright, we need a good ball here. That wasn't it. Sheiks, thanks so much for the host. That is mucho, mucho appreciated. I am sending out some EM love towards you. Not in a solid state kind of way. Just some EM love. All right, let's get in there. Here we go. So we're on ball five. We need a bajillion points just to get to 100,000. And I don't think we're going to get it. Let's get in that center column. Column! Let's call it a column. That's what it is. I'm still waiting for multiball Oh Bad play Bad play Game over 53,000 for me it is not easy to get to 100,000 got some new people in the chat what's happening everybody thanks for checking out straight down the middle of pinball show our twitch now we are on youtube you guys have to check out the youtube because that's kind of our bread and butter if you haven't heard of us before we do pinball machine reviews we do pinball top 10 lists we do collector interviews we do a little bit of everything on there me I'm Zach and I do it with my buddy Greg I am in Indiana and Greg is around the Louisville Kentucky area so that's kind of our thing we do a lot of stuff on YouTube oh zach and i was getting ready to go to bed and i thought hell why not why not turn the old electromechanical on and stream it because who in the hell needs ghostbusters and star wars i mean the answer is me i i need those games dialed in who needs those when you have an electromechanical that you bought for a couple hundred bucks. You ain't going to get that from no solid state. You can feel it. Each switch you can feel. Feel that feedback. Love it. So for those of you who are new to the chat, what have you guys been up to tonight? Or this morning, rather. You guys getting ready to go to work? You guys drinking some coffee? You guys drunk off your ass? What are you doing? Oh, boy. Get up there. Spinner. Oh, baby, get in there. Get in your home. Oh, you guys don't want to talk tonight? Okay. I see how it is. You guys tired? It's all good, too. I don't like sleeping. Hate it. I love it when I am, but you know what I mean. I hate going to sleep. Like, every night I die a little bit from my sleeping. Now I got a special. It is lit if I can hit that damn rollover. Alright, spinner time. Oh, that was a dud. Let's try it again. A little bit. Stay out of there. You'd love to get a Xenon table, Sheiks. How crazy is this? What's the best way to do this? It's not on right now, but check this out. Can you see it? Look at that. It's Xenon. That's crazy. If that's the game you're talking about, yeah. Xenon. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. dolphin for real uh xenon is incredible artwork just a beautiful beautiful thing but you know what's nuts this is crazy i know i like the play of this better it's nuts i know xenon i like just having sitting around turned on because it looks amazing it's one the most beautiful pinball machines ever. And mysterious. It's just a weird ass art package. Alright, Zach, let's get back in the game here. Come on, get your head out your ass. Come on. I don't like it. Oh, I don't like it. Stay out. Stay out. Nope. Oh, tilted no bonus for you yeah I do like the tube shot on that it's cool and it's all metal too that's what I really like about Xenon like it's all shiny shiny like a stainless steel and then you get the clear tube with the lights behind it it is it is nice all right so we have 69,000 850 okay I need 30,000 30 stinking thousand that's not a good start Oh, Zach, use your flippers. Use the flippers. Oh, so get this. So we go out, my wife and I, go out to dinner, right? I'm like I shit you not I'm not a tight ass I'm going to preface this whole story by saying I'm not a tight ass I'm the dipshit that usually gives like 20 to 30 percent for tips right now you have to be great be mediocre so we get there the food pretty fantastic food food's good this poor waitress, I can't say poor waitress, because she was, she was kind of abrasive, which is cool, as long as you just, you know, help a guy out on some food, and my wife thought I was crazy, because at the end of the night, I didn't give her a tip, and I, like I said, again, I know what you guys are thinking right now, but I probably the last time I did not give a tip at a restaurant was probably like 12 years ago the last time I didn't give a tip was because a freaking waiter was hitting on my wife at the table yeah that was ugly needless to say on that short trip I didn't pay all the bill either so I guess that's a dick I don't know this poor young lady she everything that she could have done wrong she did do wrong she forgot I think three different items what else did she do it was horrible so if you guys ever done that have you guys ever not tipped someone so right now the bells aren't going on because my left spinner is stuck. The switch is stuck. There we go. Loosen it up a little bit. Alright, spinner action. Here we go. Maybe I was just pissy tonight too and I didn't give her... She was horrible. Horrible. Unbelievably horrible. I felt bad too and I even... I'm so neurotic, you guys, that I sat there at the table. my wife was uh using the facilities and i was like it is not like me to give a tip to not give a tip but what do you do do you give a tip do you not give a tip i don't know yeah so she brings out the food right food great let me get you another drink she takes my drink i can't even slurp on the damn ice and I sat there for over 30 minutes. No drinking. No nothing. My wife, she got a, what am I, she got a salmon. It was supposed to be, I think, bourbon glazed. Bourbon glazed salmon. Salmon. And it came out without any bourbon glaze on it. So my wife was like, this shit is dry. Like, I need that. We asked for it, right? she comes back later and uh i said you know is there any way to get my wife some of the bourbon glaze they didn't add it on there oh yeah i'm sorry i forgot so she forgets first time we proceed 20 minutes later we're eating and my poor wife the fish is getting cold what do you do so she's eating it this waitress brings out our bill right and she said oh you know what i uh I don't have the bourbon salmon on there. Or the bourbon sauce. And then she has the nerve, you guys. The nerve to ask, or to say, you know what? She's so nice. You know what? I'm going to actually take off that bourbon sauce from your bill. You're going to take off what you didn't give me already. You know what? You're a freaking saint. Thank you so much. I really appreciate that That you're not going to charge me $1.50 For something that I didn't get Unbelievable Unbelievable Now usually people are shitty when they're Like if I go to a restaurant And they're shitty I'm like you know what Being a waiter or waitress It's freaking tough But if you're going to do shitty And you're going to act like you did awesome and you're going to give no care to shit that you forget. I can't get down. Maybe I'm just getting old. Get off my lawn. Get in there. Oh, I need that bonus. Oh, that was my fault again. Alright, sheiks, have a good one. Thanks for hanging out. Thanks, dolphin. I still feel bad. I'm freaking talking about it on the stream. I feel horrible about it. And I was like, you know what? I'm going to be in a situation where I'm having a horrible day. And this poor lady is going to come to me at my job for a service or something. And I'm going to feel like a complete idiot. Look at it. We rolled over. I didn't even see it. Oh, shit. I'm sorry, guys. We rolled over. Damn, was I doing that good? I was sitting here talking. See? My head's messed up from that damn waitress. I don't even know her name. So sad. I don't even know her name. But we rolled over 100,000. Hot damn. And what would we get? I don't know if you guys can see. Yeah, you guys see that right there? Booyah! Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. 100,000 lit. So we got 114,400. Damn! Didn even see it I love it The brooding blinded you That no shit It did Alright let play another one That was fun I want to experience this one this time instead of going through my traumatic bourbon salmon experience. I had pasta. I played it safe. So that was my night. Like a bad Seinfeld episode. There's some left spinner, love. I thought you were broken, buddy. You showed up to the show. Let's hit you again. Well, you're still kind of a dud there. And sounds like you got stuck. You hear that buzzing? Oh, I tilted. Come on, knockout. Dolphin, have a good one. Thanks for hanging out. check us out next time love having you on alright now alright now who doesn't love streaming an EM at midnight on a Saturday night thank you for hanging goes the dynamite So, sorry for repeating if any of you guys were here when I was explaining some of the rules. Whenever you plunge, you've got three good shots and two bad shots up top there. The ones that are lit, those are good because they're going to light that coordinating side for your rollovers. The one in the middle is going to light whatever is lit, and then you can get into the advanced bonus hole, which advances you three. The side ones are no good. They're worth 500 points, but they're still no good. Alright, what are we on? Ball three? Oh, boy, we have not even hit 10,000 yet. So, we've got two shit balls here. Probably my fault. That's where I did not want to go. Alright. So, like on all typical older games, it is dangerous to have the ball down here. I'm going to get the ball further away from the flippers. We've got some chance to accrue some points. Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh. Stay out. I'm going to have to go back now once I stop streaming. Tomorrow I'm going to have to go back and watch that 100,000 game. I didn't even notice it. No. Alright. We still don't have any of the lanes. Oh, we have the right lane lit. My phone died. It's dead. I'm without technology. nothing but an old electro mechanical pinball machine now you're going to flip it alright ball 5 30,000 we got a long hill to climb if we want to hit 100 there it is there it is got our double bonus too so that's always pretty sweet rip this lock bar off all right a couple more games and then we'll call it quits tonight some people new people in the chat what's happening guys thanks for checking out the video or the stream this is zach from straight down the middle of pinball show i'm kind of new this streaming thing but uh greg and i my pinball buddy from louisville we we are on YouTube we do a lot of machine reviews for pinball machines as well as collector interviews we try to do some exclusive stuff every now and then on new machines and etc but Greg wanted us to get into the streaming biz here so that's what we're doing building up a a good group oh we've got Waspinator he streams pinball on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 8 to 10 Eastern, I think. Or from 8 to whenever Eastern. And then Greg's locking down a day here soon. He's been streaming Ghostbusters and Metallica. Waspinator's been streaming. He's got Ghostbusters now. He was streaming Star Wars. But if you guys haven't subscribed to the page or followed us, we'd really appreciate the follow. It helps us out a lot because we're trying. Our goal is to provide pinball content damn near every day. Oh, good pinball content. Not that kind of pinball content. All right, this game is going bad. I'm going to hone the love from you guys out there. You guys are going to help me out on this one. All right, so we lit our right lane there. I need to get some spinner action. That wasn't spinner action. Ball five, this is it. 24,000 and I'm donezo. At least we lit the left, the left path over there. Oh no. There we go. There we go. That works. That'll do. Get in the canal. Oh boy. All right. Good ball going so far here. There we go. We got our right path lit now. So now spinner action all day, I would say. Oh, no. There it is. Light him up. We need some double bonus action now. Oh, no. I've done it now. oh boy yep i asked for that one relaxation station what is happening welcome to the late night stream yeah he was streaming yeah exactly right waspin air streaming game of thrones then he swapped that after like a week for star wars and then this i mean this is a brand new pinball machine star wars he gets rid of it after what what was it station what did he get rid of it like a week and a half uh then he had the walking dead for a whole week and now he has ghostbusters so for somebody like me on his team pretty fantastic a lot of work for him he's probably losing a couple hundred bucks but i love watching the streams especially different machines so my collection i have um well i don't even know why i'm bitching about him because i move machines just as much as he does There's nowhere to play, I'm in Indiana here, an area that there's just nothing to play. So, yeah, I move through machines. I have like my constant small little three-pin collection, but then I always have like a couple pins that are just always fluctuating. All right, you guys, I'm playing shitty here. So what I have is I have Knockout EM here. I have Xenon, but that was recently sold. Just waiting for somebody to pick that up. I have a Ghostbusters Pro that is fully modded out. Powder coat, all that jazz. I always have a Shadow that is just beautiful looking. I have an Indiana Jones Pinball Adventure. And I have a Popeye for all the Popeye haters out there. I love Popeye. I need to stream that next time. A little Popeye action. I'm telling you guys whoever says Popeye's a shit game I just I don't get it there's so many shit games out there and that one is deep enough and there's so much to do that there's no way it can be a shit game alright Zach gain control We have another 50,000 on ball five if we want to see 100,000. All right, it's a good start. Good start. We lit both lanes there. It's hard to hit that spinner on the fly because of the little bounce right there. I usually stop it and then miss it again. No, I got it that time. Anytime I can find an EM with double spinner action, ooh. Ooh, me likey. I got to bend that one back, though. It is just bugging the piss out of me. It's not fully spinning. Outlanes are brutal. The outlanes are brutal in my Walking Dead. Yeah, well. try just two little paperclip pins sticking up out of the thing. He said for now. Yeah, that's right. Seems accurate. The credit button likes to flash. Oh man, this thing is, I know nothing about fixing machines. I mean, zero. I know nothing. So I'm surprised at this thing. This old Bertha here, she's my baby. She runs pretty good. And there's some weird shit on this game like i'll show you guys i'm going to turn it on ready so like when i turn this thing on nothing comes on the only thing that is visibly lit on this is the coin lights so i thought when i first got this thing i got it for a deal because i was like this freaking thing don't work i don't i sure as a hell don't know how to work on ems but if you hit the left flipper button this is no joke ready how crazy is that i don't know what the hell it's all about so yeah the credit button um is kind of oh it you know why uh station it's got an led in it i pulled the plastics from this thing me and my buddy cleaned it up a lot uh needs a new piece of glass it doesn't have too much wear on it it's pretty nice but we pulled up all the plastics clean those all clean the playing field then we put leds i know i know leds in the em but they're just so much better so we put some warm leds some faceted ones because on the old ones you have that star led that's like a starburst and it really really brings out a lot in the game so we did that and so that's an led so it's going to be have a ghosting thing now in ems you can't you can't really do the inserts and you'll see a lot of ghosting so we didn't do those but um like if i add credits to this it'll light back up constant but it gets it keeps current in it though if it's not supposed to be constant constant lit so it should be good it might flash a little bit a little bit this is our hundred thousand game here it is you ready all right good start good start. Oh, man. What? Screw you, knockout. Anybody have any huge plans tomorrow? I need to go canoeing. I'm not looking forward to it. Don't tell my wife. She sure as hell don't watch these things, so I don't have to worry about that. Oh, give that buzz. But I'm just not a big not a big canoer. Oh. Saved it. Yeah you I can't I can't hit it off a fly because of that bump. I'm going to keep that one. Guess I'm going canoeing tomorrow. Canoeing. Really, Zach? It is too late for you to be doing this shit. I'm getting a spinner love right now because that left spinner switch was stuck. Oh, shit. I had LED bulbs do some funny flickering too when I had LED lit light switch connected. Switch connected. Yeah, yeah. Flickering when not turned on. Yep. Yep, yep. How weird is that, though, with the left flipper to... That's not normal. To fire the game up? So weird. All right, ball five. We're going to do one more game after this. I know I always say that, but... I'm going to try to attempt to only do one more game. As long as I get a good game, I can quit on a good game. I'd like to quit on 100,000, but we did get that tonight. For those of you who didn't see it. I was ranting and raving about a waitress tonight. Tilt it. Makes me feel better. I was ranting and raving about a waitress tonight. Lost track of what the hell I was doing. And at the end, right before I started a new game, I was like, oh, shit. I hit 100,000. How about that? All right. So this is the last game. Each and every one of you guys, thanks so much for supporting me by checking out the channel here and checking out the stream. Hit the subscribe button.

But if I can deal with them when it's pinball, I can't get enough. Love me some pinball people. Or even if you're not, if you're a gamer, shit, we got something in common. Or if you're just on here and you've fallen asleep already because it's so damn late and this is an EM, then you're gonna wake up from that spinner all right so we got a good bonus going here does that mean i'm gonna jinx myself listen you guys hear that nothing and we are in the garage so i opened up the garage door it's a really nice night i've just got a weird ass stream you guys who else freaking opens up their garage door and i can have people just freaking walking by i'm in a subdivision but you know what i mean my neighbors probably think i am wild and crazy. No, they probably think I'm just a big freaking Uber nerd. And they're right. It's all good. Get my garage door open. I'm playing an EM. Who streams EMs anyway? Zach! That's not cool, man. It's not cool. Big bonus, though. Big bonus. I can't believe I dreamed like that. Ball three. We've got 37,000 on our way to 100. Another couple good balls here. We'll be in business. It's not a good game. Ball number four. Not even halfway there yet. Oh no no no Oh no no no More buzzer for me Next time I stream this for you guys If people want me to stream this at EM again I'm going to fix that left flipper So we can just rip it up all night long Or that left spinner. Oh, that was bad. Oh, no. I wish I was good at tap passing. I'm just not. Watch. See if I can do it. Ready? See if I can blow it. Oh, shit! That was horrible, wasn't it? Maybe they'll say hello. I met a neighbor that way. He was playing music out of the garage. That's really cool. That's really cool. I like that. Maybe they'll say hello. Hello! Hello! No, my neighbors are pretty cool. we hang out actually you know another cool boring story bear with me what else we can do you know um met my neighbor i don't know what what we did but i met my neighbor um to the left of me over here really freaking cool couple really cool family our kids go to school together that's what it was rode the school bus met them hung out one night with them and I was like this this dude's freaking cool man I like him I dig him a lot so he comes over one night when I'm bullshitting out here just playing some pinball and uh the next time I talked to him you guys this is crazy next time I talked to him he was like totally into pinball like he's got a username on pin side he's researching pins so we help uh we find him his first pin. And ever since then, now he's got a freaking awesome collection for just being in the hobby less than a year. He has a Demoman, Demolition Man, he has a Lord of the Rings, and a Ghostbusters Premium. Relaxation. I've never seen such a weak tap pass before. Alright, let's play another one. I'm going to show Station that I'm going to get a good tap pass here. That was ugly, wasn't it? I could blame it on being late, but this shit ain't late to me. I'll stay up forever. Oh, I thought that was going to be a good spin. There it is. The only difference is usually I have to go to bed or go to work early throughout the week, but I still stay up late. All right, here it is for you, Stakes. Are you ready? oh and then the spinner how about that i should have had a damn cup might be tipping me for that one you'll see it again no not yet just wait it's coming it's coming stay down all right so i have my left uh rollover lanes lit oh don't tell don't tell don't tell solid that's for you man that's for you all right ball two eighteen thousand the first ball not great not horrible get in the canal get no that's second best so going over that that we lit our uh right lane rollovers oh that was a bad move try to catch it you like that spinner single turn all right you want it you want to see it again here we go oh too much too much there station couldn't do it that time right again here we go Blow it again. That's all right It all good Next game is gonna be serious game I gonna practice my tap passing I not good at pinball if I was good at pinball I could do this shit let's try one of those let's try shats in it not that it's worth anything not that big of a deal but I usually don't own games that you can do that kind of stuff with bing bing super weak yeah it was a bad one so wait until the end of the flipper okay sounds good to me we'll see if i can wait i'm not very patient not very patient get in there all right let's see if we can nope hey there's a spinner shot though slow down though all right into the flipper now i want a spinner shot real quick here well i should have just at least tried it because that spinner wasn't there no no no no no all right one more goofy ball and then it will be my last game i promise it's gonna be it into the flipper into the flipper zach I'm into the flipper. That was ugly. You guys didn't see that. Hopefully everybody's sleeping. It's the last game. This is it. It's for all the old, uh... All the marbles. The cookies that crumble. No, that's not a phrase. The meat. The meat and potatoes. Give me a house ball. I don't care. I'll rip you up on ball too I'm loving those shitty lanes tonight Tap pass for you Knockout EM Nope still didn't get it We're playing one more game like this It's happening get in your home I love that lane tonight it's just I can't hit anything but it it's time to take the lock bar off and throw it across the room get down there it didn't like me talking like that do it. Spin it time. Do you guys see that thing on some type of social media? There's probably pinball enthusiasts on Facebook. Somebody said, this is my fidget spinner and it showed a spinner. And that's awesome. In a nerdy dad kind of way, that is awesome. Alright, ball five Ball five, ball five Hey, I made it in there Hey Oh, we're coming all the way back to 100,000 You ready? It's gonna happen Woo Next game's a serious game But this game I'm gonna try hard And finish strong Finish strong with the whole 40,000 Alright, this is it I promise This is it ladies and gentlemen Zach steps up to the pinball machine He's playing a knockout 1975 EM by Bally He needs 100,000 points to advance To the losers bracket He misses his first skill shot there And then he gets a house ball Ladies and gentlemen I don't know about you but the suspense is killing me. I wonder how far away from 100,000 he's going to actually end up. Let's watch as the story unfolds. Spinner time! Oh. Ooh. Oh. Uh oh guys, that's ball two. Zach is on his third ball. And the odds are stacked against him pretty heavily. He steps up to the machine and he drains again! Marv, this guy really sucks at pinball, doesn't he? Well, I wasn't going to say anything, but... You This is not my last game No no Oh no It is not I've worked too hard Oh I got an LED flickering up here Gotta love that Tap pass time Look at that Bam Yes It always reminds me of like whenever you go to those Hibachi or Japanese steak houses. Where the guy's like... Alright. Back in the action here. Now you're going to flip it. It is true though. I love those Japanese steak houses. Yeah. And then do the little volcano. Love it. Love it. Love it, love it, love it. You want fire? Here we go. Little shrimp. You want a little shrimp? Here it comes. Right here. Open your mouth. Here we go. All right, here we go. Seriously. We in this now. Here we go. Oh, that was a bad shot. We got our both lanes lit up there now for our rollovers. Screw you knockout! I was feeling good about that one too, but it only ended up at 15,000. We're going to come back ball two though. I need to get that canal more. Spinner action. Here we go. Spinning. There we go. I like it. God, I love that shot. Oh, that's a little backhand spinner time now too, isn't it? Shit. Alright, another bad ball here. Can't afford any more of those. I need about a 60,000 ball here. Stay down. There we go. Ah. light it up which is right rollovers were lit that when I did that I don't know if that matters but it feels like Tap pass? I think not. Oh, shit. We'll do the Fonzie plunge. Hey! Oh, that's... That's got to be called the Fonzie Clown. Oh, no. Oh, we're playing another game. It's happening. It's going down. I'm just not happy with my playing right now. Ever since that waitress ran, Maybe I need to rant about the waitress a little more. Not feeling good. Not feeling good about this. Alright, this is it. Last game. Last game. One more game. One more game. This thing's running like a charm, isn't it? For not being restored or anything. She's running pretty good. Like an old classic car. Not even 10,000. Don't let one ball mess with you, though. Got five of them here. Oh, no. Oh, no. Did you guys see that roll? Not very nice. Not very nice at all. Don't drain on me now. Oh, it wanted to. It wanted to bad. Oh, boy. Oh. Well, at least I have a... credit and play again there it is that wasn't a good spanner show was it There it is. It would have been better if it went down the middle. There we go. I'm feeling it. Here we go. Brick. I'll take that bonus hole, though. See, I don't think I can hit that directly. That's the only bad thing. One more game. That's ball five. That's finish strong. Left rollover, lanes are lit. Woo hoo. This is the last game, I promise. This is it. I'm all out of quarters. This is it. It's late. What time is it? One o'clock in the morning. I'm out here in the garage with my garage door open. You think my neighbors can hear me? I don't know. They're kind of far away. We're doing that all night long. Spinners until we die. We got that lit. There we go. Shoot again when lit, but I don't think that this registers extra balls. I could be wrong. We'll see. But I don't think it does. Alright. Get back in that center. Get in there. Ooh, another special. What the hell was that? Was that an attempt at a knocker? Did you guys even hear that? It's like this weird-ass little trickle sound that came from the side of the cabinet. it. That wasn't good. I deserved a drain after that one. Oh, we're lighting it up now. Oh, I'm in the middle. We got this one going good now. Oh, Zach, you need another spinner shot. steady steady Drano that's a good ball at least you're not getting eaten up by bugs that's no shit it did it did register an extra ball how about that I've never had that lid up in the top right hand corner of the glass that said same player shoot again. That's cool. I like that. No, I'm not getting eaten up by bugs. Which is really nice actually. Alright. Now that you say that I'm going to get like a mosquito freaking bite my ass right in between the eyes or something. Okay. oh we're rolling a hundred baby got our extra ball i didn't know these had extra balls come on we need oh we needed that bonus shot bad i needed that one all right so hardly no bonus did i tilt that i did that's not cool all right so 49 000 going into ball two here come on it's better than nothing Teriyaki chicken Oh, a little shrimp Okay Oh boy Yeah shrimp for you Oh man it ran out again I need that shot Look at that Skills Skills right there Oh, get in there again, I'll take it all day. Don't tilt, Zach. You need this bonus too bad. Oh fried scallops. Yeah, da, da, da, da. Oh, you want some sushi? Go to the bar for sushi. Alright, you guys. That was ball two and we're over 70,000. We're right there. We are right there. We need 25,000. And a little change. No house balls, no house balls, no house balls. I need to go right in there. There it is. Atta baby. Alright. Now we got this thing rocking and rolling. I feel like I'm in a ride at Disney or something. All this clinking and clinking and ding. I swear it does remind me of the casinos though. I love that sound. Don't tilt. all right keep rolling baby 90,000 we need 10,000 more to roll it and that's probably not a feat for a lot of you guys but for me that's why I love this machine that's why I haven't sold this machine yet coming out here and trying to roll 100,000 for me is difficult and it's very satisfying whenever I get it done oh boy that's what I needed that's the ticket give me a double bonus and let's Let's clinch this thing. No. No. No. Alright. Oh, I think that's it, you guys. I think that's 100,000. Oh, yeah. Ending with a bang. I got one more ball, though. Look at that. All right, last ball. Let's make this a good one. Let's get a GC on this. I'm going to save it. You've got to put a post-it note up there. But I think my last game was like $114,000. I'm at $111,000 right now. Let's end it strong. Let's end it strong with a little spinner action. Shall we? Get up there. Or we can end it like that. But I still... 115,340.
