MPT3K streams Alice Cooper pinball with rules deep-dive and live rubber swap.

Summary

Mystery Pinball Theater 3000 streams gameplay of Alice Cooper's Nightmare Castle (Spooky 2017) at Outer Orbit arcade in San Francisco's Mission District. Hosts Oscar H. Ray, Steve Kirk, and George Christian (venue owner) play through multiple balls while George provides detailed rules explanations covering monster modes, multiball mechanics, servo issues with the Frankenstein toy, and playfield design. The stream includes mid-game rubber replacement to match California State Championship specifications and community chat interaction.

Key Claims

  • Alice Cooper's Nightmare Castle was played in the California State Championship finals

    high confidence · George Christian mentions 'The California State Championship was just yesterday and they were playing Spooky Pinball, this game, Alice Cooper Nightmare Castle... in the finals.' He also notes different rubbers were used at the championship.

  • The Frankenstein multiball toy servo on this machine is malfunctioning and has been disabled

    high confidence · George states: 'There's a ball diverter... the servo for that ball diverter is malfunctioning. So we have it disabled.' This impacts the standard left ramp shot sequence.

  • Spooky Pinball uses servos for machine control similar to Stern machines like Jurassic Park and Stranger Things

    high confidence · George explains: 'Spooky Pinball uses servos for controlling some of its features. Servos are becoming kind of prevalent... There's one in Jurassic Park, it's the dinosaur head. There's one in Stranger Things that lowers the gate.'

  • The game has very bouncy flippers and tight playfield shots requiring precise ball control

    high confidence · Multiple speakers note bounce difficulty. George: 'these are not... they're on the outside.' Oscar: 'it's hella bouncy.' Manu: 'it's really hard' to control. George later explains: 'Every shot on this thing is freaking tight.'

  • Monster modes include Insects, Igor, Pit Creature, Werewolf, Zombie, Alice Cooper, Cold Ethel, Vampire, Frankenstein, and Billion Babies

    high confidence · George provides detailed breakdown: 'Pit Creature you get a lot of points from. If you have a ball locked... Insects is good... Igor is good... Werewolf... Zombie... Alice Cooper is a guillotine shot... Cold Ethel... Vampire...'

  • The machine is set to 'schools out' easy mode requiring only 2 orbits to reach monster mode instead of higher numbers

    high confidence · George: 'I cheated and I put the machine on super easy mode. So the machine is on super easy mode. I think it's called schools out or something like that. So you only have to hit two orbits... on my machine to get to the monster.'

  • Outer Orbit is located next to The Knockout and The Royal Cuckoo in San Francisco's Mission District

Notable Quotes

    George Christian@ 13:18 — Identifies technical manufacturing concern with servo reliability on Spooky machines

  • “I cheated and I put the machine on super easy mode... so you only have to hit two orbits on my machine to get to the monster.”

    George Christian@ 18:57 — Reveals game difficulty scaling and easy mode configuration

  • “The nice thing about Vampire is that once you get the ball up to that shot, it's relatively easy to recradle up the ball on the flipper. So I done Vampire. You can do Vampire all in one go.”

    George Christian@ 33:20 — Explains strategic advantage of Vampire mode for consistent scoring

  • “These rubbers are particularly bouncy. The California State Championship was just yesterday and they were playing Spooky Pinball, this game, Alice Cooper Nightmare Castle, in the finals.”

Hello, hello, hello, hello! We got pinball sign! Oh my goodness. White shot please. Hey, this is Ray Hewitt here. Have a good night. Hey, David, are you cutting out? Yeah, I am done. You're not gonna? Say hello, say hi. Hi guys. This is David, he works here. works here. Tonight we're at Outer Orbit. I'll put him on the spot. We are at Outer Orbit again tonight. Right, Kirk? Right. Gotta say, Outer Orbit. This place is awesome. I just had my Impossible Burger. Very happy. I'm very happy. It's fantastic. I can eat those every time in here. Yeah. I should choose something else, though. No. When you find something you like, I like to stick with it. I'm going to get sick of it. Now, you know what the next thing I'm going to do? Because they give it, they make an Impossible Burger, and they put it on four little Hawaiian. It's like a sweet Hawaiian roll. Sweet Hawaiian roll. I'm going to have them cut them into four sliders. I can barely eat the whole thing. I think I, it's still sitting on me. I hope that's not mine. Anyway, Kirk's here. I'm here. We're going to play some Alice Cooper's Nightmare Castle because I have no idea how to play this game. Who is this by? This is by Spooky Pinball 2017. Is this one of their new movies? No. 2017. Ah, 2017. So Christian is here, the owner of the machine and the owner of Outer Orbit. So in a little bit he's gonna stop by and say hi. He's gonna stop by and say hi. I already got one ball set up. Kirk, you wanna play out the rest of this one? Uh, sure. I have no idea what I'm doing. I see the save at the bottom. There's a special. Where's the... Where's the, uh... What do you call it? What do you call it? Skill shot. I don't know, I don't know. And, there's something. All right, what do we got here? Whoa, that's fast. All right, I was terrible, so it's gonna let me have another shot. All right, let's get some control here and see. The flippers on this are black, I'm very sorry. I'm gonna try for the... That's interesting. I have no idea what that is or what it does. Let's see here. Oh! All right. Ow! All right, hit a... That was bad. All right, I'm going to shoot your next one. Oh, I see it's kind of swirling around. What if you stop it on that? Looks like. Yeah. I think that's what happened. So, flashing arrows. Go, Chums! What's up? I volunteer at the Academy of Sciences. But I volunteer most Sundays at the Academy. And after my shift is over, I'll text him. Man. We'll play for two to three hours. It's just like right down the middle. That sucks. Hoo-ha! Throw down the split. So we will have Christian here. Actually, Christian's right there. We got a match! Alright, we're gonna put up two, maybe three, because Christian is here. I'm not sure. You know what? I'm gonna make it two right now before Christian comes on and blows the damn machine up. I'm gonna give it a shot. So it's me and Kirk. Once again. Alright. Drinking some Campfire Stout. High water brewing. I don't have my can. I'm drinking cider. What are you drinking, Grotans? These are the bounciest flippers. Wow. They said something about the play field. It was like, no. They were trying to buy the ball. They were afraid to do it. A lot. That was a lot. Release ball when you hit it again, you get the ball back. Stop! I think it was Wow Nice catch Thank you Does anybody know how to play this? Oh I knew that wasn't going to happen Did you do it again? I knew that Did you want to? Did you want to? Alright, here we go Let's see. I have no idea what anything does, so I'm just gonna... Spray, spray... He made legitimately one of the easiest saves. Whoa! I got a multiball. And he saved it. I saved it. And it has no reason to save. And it bounces up and comes down to his flipper and he's watching it bounce off his flipper and spray. And I was like, what the fuck just happened? I have no idea how I got it up there or what it does up there. Oh, that was terrible. That was even terribleer. Okay. I somehow got a few more people. I have no idea what happened. I don't know what happened. Five million. We're going to watch Christian blow this up in a minute. I wouldn't bank on that necessarily. Banking. I'm banking. I got money in the bank. Are you operating all these yourself? No, I am not actually. I got money in the bank. Shoot the left orbit. Shoot the right orbit. Okay. Whoa! Nobody told me he was going to come out there. Ha ha ha! Nice. Well, lab lock is lit. Lab lock! All kinds of things are lit that I'm not hitting. Everything is lit. That happens on this. A lot of stuff to shoot, but everything is a tight shot. Yeah. And so, you know, good luck. You want to learn ball control? Play a friggin' Alice Cooper. God. It's an exercise for sure. Oh. And no good. Get up there. I got up there. And straight back down. What did I do? It kicked it out to the worst place ever. There you go. That was... That's an orbit. That's a lot. I'm doing a lot of work for not catching up to you. Oh, I got a multiball. Alice Cooper! She's a killer werewolf. She's a flashing insert. There's so much flashing. Everything is flashing. Every insert is flashing right now. Ah! Ah! Ball save! Ball save! Oh, I got saves on the outlings. Oh! Where am I? Seven. Nice. Yep. You're a regular Ghostbuster, aren't you? You're a regular Ghostbuster, aren't you? Uh, not drop down. Oh, this is kind of fun! Oh! Until that happens. There's an increase multiplier on your... Oh, no! I gotta save, though. Nice save. The red shot. Looks important. Oh the red shot? Let's get it. Oh no, no no no. Oh this is fun! Red shot. Secret passage when pulsing. Oh it's not pulsing. Secret passage Passage when it's not pulsing secret pass when pulsing it's not pulsing That was pretty damn good Okay, so no idea what I'm doing here so. Ghouls Gone Wild, that's original. Are you kidding? Come on. Okay. That was me trying be fancy and do a truck neck ad-patch. What ball is this? Ball two? No, it's ball three for both of us. Oh, it's your ball. It's your first, yeah. Oh, is there a skill set? I have no idea. I think if you just like hit one of the things. Alright, I'm gonna hit one of the things. The only interesting thing that was different, I saw a while ago, was when I was shooting, it was like all of the lights were just kind of like swirling around the center. No! So it's like... So you are like counter-clockwise. Yeah, like this. So whatever you stop it on, you get. Oh, okay. I think... You get 8X multiplier. I hope so. That's what I was counting on. Now you just get Igor. You don't get the 8X multiplier. I think the lights were lighting just to help you. Really? I mean, you picked the thing, but not the 8X. Come on. And those ramps are steep. Apparently. Well, that didn't work. That's not a good thing. Let's bring in our professor. So what you gotta do is you gotta start to help us on the internet learn how to play this game. Alright, well... And you have to...you can teach them and then I can watch you later. And you're spilling beer on your nice pretty pimple. water. We rinse our glasses. Okay. Almost did it. Thanks. Alright, fire it up for three. So, first a disclaimer. There's a Frankenstein multiball. It's in the top left corner. And that Frankenstein multiball is disabled. There's a ball diverter. So, back up a little bit. Spooky uses servos for controlling some of its features. Servos are becoming kind of prevalent in all these machines. There's one in Jurassic Park, it's the JP, it's the dinosaur head. There's one in Stranger Things that lowers the gate. And Stern so far, their servos seem to be working pretty well. These ones have a little bit of issues. So, there's Frankenstein himself. He pops up and down. He releases the multiball. Behind him is the ball diverter. It's all the way back there. And the servo for that ball diverter is malfunctioning. So we have it disabled. As a result, what usually happens is when you shoot a ball up the left ramp, the first time, the ball converter is open in such a way that it drops the ball underneath Frankenstein's left arm, arm kit, whatever. And then the second time, you get it up here, you hit this. Sorry, mic's over here. Sorry, thanks. You will, from this flipper, hit the drop target. and then once it's down within that same while the ball's still up here you have to recover the ball get it back to the flipper and then shoot it up that ramp wow okay yeah so if you if you drop if you hit that drop target drop it down and you lose the ball or well it exits the upper playfield that drop target kicks back up so you have to do it all within the same you know go up in this playfield so it is tough um when you get that multiball oh sorry so let me back up when you hit it up that ramp after dropping that target, the ball diverter then drops it under his right arm and that starts the multiball. So it's a two ball multiball, Frankenstein lifts up, the ball is going to drop out from under his arms and then the goal of that multiball is to hit them back up the ramps. And you don't have to actually do anything once the ball gets up into the playfield, you just have to get it up there and then you get awarded points for that. So we want to shoot those ramps like crazy. Yeah, in that multiball. Assuming you have that multiball, which I don't have that multiball. That sucks. Um, I'm waiting on a servo. Spooky. Um, so shall we? Manu. All right. Oh, he was going to watch it later. He can go third. You guys have probably figured out already that the green shots are your skill shot, right? Right. They each have a different reward level, but essentially they kick on your outlaying ball saves and reward you some points. So generally what I try to do, which this is going to be interesting because we've got the original rubbers on there right now, but we also brought some rubbers that I pulled off another machine. These rubbers are particularly bouncy. The California State Championship was just yesterday and they were playing Spooky, this game, Alice Cooper Nightmare Castle, in the finals. Oh wow, in the finals? You should watch that because it's pretty beautiful what they do. Really? Yeah, there's some amazing games. I missed that whole thing. Yeah, we were screening it here. So you should have been here. But what I did notice is that they had different rubbers on and so that means I can put different rubbers on. if I had to keep the same rubbers for like to keep it true to competition right so generally when I first launched I try to live catch Nope. Oh, there it goes. I touched a switch besides the green switches, and that canceled the ball. Or the skill shot. The skill shot, thanks. Well, what did you guys think? I mean, these are not, I mean these are conceded, but obviously they're on the outside. So once you would get the inside, color control and all that other stuff. So it's going to come back. Ah. Boom. So this game is quite bouncy. Oh, it's hella bouncy. So is it flashing S and E, both saves? Yes, right now. But they will time out over time. Oh wow. You don't cash it in? They just time down. Wow. So as cool as they are, like on TNA, Total Nuclear Annihilation, they would just stay on until you needed to use them, I think. I think so. So, I was thinking about insects flashing, right? But it wasn't on insects a while ago. Is it like it changes when you hit something? Yeah. So, up here, the change monster mode, this shot right here, there's a three bank of targets. Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, right now, because I haven't hit any orbits, although I'm pretty sure I hit an orbit early on, but if you look at my monster map, I've got an X at the very bottom, right? That means I'm in the first room. Generally speaking, you have however many rooms you have to get through, depends on the orbit. So, you know, I could do two right orbits, which would get me here, and then I'd have to do two left orbits to get up to the monster, right? Oh! It's kind of epic to get to a monster. Hey Pip, you want in? And so I cheated and I put the machine on super easy mode. So the machine is on super easy mode. I think it's called schools out or something like that So you only have to hit two orbits in my machine to get to the monster. So a left and a right and Yeah, that's just out it so until I hit an orbit. I'm allowed to change a monster so right now. It's insects Yeah, you'll see how bouncy those flippers are I know now you're on yeah you get the idea so what I do want to say though is once you once you hit one of those orbits you lock in the monster so you can no longer change it once you lock in the monster that shot changes to advancing the secret passage so secret Secret passage generally takes, you have to hit this change monster mode three times and then secret passage lights up and you shoot that shot and that'll start the monster mode. When you're playing with regular rules where you have to hit these things a million times, it's often a lot easier to just whale on this three times and then hit the secret passage. And then that starts the monster mode. And that starts the monster. Yep, exactly. Alright Kurt, you got it, right? Sure. Who's next? You got it, right? Sure. Who's next? All right, let's see. Hey! Didn't count it. Didn't count it? That's kind of bullshit. All right, that's my bad. I got an opto out, I guess. Well, that's... Hey, ball saved. Oh, cool. That's rad. All right. So I'm already got my... Oh, got like... So if you hit that right over right now, you'll start insects. Okay. Let's try it. Well, not quite. But I locked that. Because you can, you know, like, total nuclear annihilation, you can deal people with multi-balls. Ah. So if you leave it for me, It's like TNA. Yeah. You can steal the other person's bombs. There you go. Start it. Okay. So now would be a good time to release that bomb. I will do my best. Insects have a mode. It's like the... Yeah, you get above that. It stops all over. Yeah, there is a ball save specific for all the monsters. So you can backhand them. Oh, can you? Yeah. Nice. Oh, a lot of them. Oh, come on. Eight to go. Yeah, there's a lot of insects. Yeah, and now the mode is over. Nice! A lot of them. Come on! Eight to go, you gotta do a lot of in-picks. And now the vote is over. Vote's in at the end of a... Unlike Bardia, that's it. Right, right. So that ball that's available to the member is next. Is that way for you to play? You can play, except... If somebody else frees your ball up and steals your multiball, points. What? They reward them to you. I didn't know that. It's like a little like... Aww, because people probably bitch about it. So that doesn't completely screw you. Yeah, okay. I didn't know that. Oh man. Nope. Ah, come on. The trick is to stop the ball. Yeah, it's so bouncy it's hard to kick the rubber. I know, it's really hard. So let's put some other rubbers on it after the game and see how that goes. I don't find that as bouncy on the upper area. Oh my god. Her secret passage is not lit. I can't hit shit. Secret passage. Damn it. There. No. No, no, no, no. It's all good. It's all good. Alright, what's up? Oh, that's me. That's me riffing myself. If you type riff in the chat, chat the robots will say something to you you are three and four oh my god i got the skills yes because i'm awesome no no no no no no okay oh no no no every shot on this thing is freaking tight I don't want to But you can I'll try not to Oh I got a ball save This is a sharpshooter game Yeah These shots are tight A lot of them are really tight Dude, it's impossible to hit that shot way in the corner. That outer orbit. Ha, ha, ha. Outer orbit. See what I did? Oh. I know. You're hitting that target. There you go. Who ripping me Stop it It going to come back yeah Oh god There you go you hit it Now you hit the uh the asphalt top Yeah, werewolf is like the best. Are these timed modes? Yeah. Of course. Oh, almost. Oh, wait. Oh, wait. Oh, wait. Oh, wait. Oh wait, I gotta hit the thingies. All bark and no bite. Wolfman! Wolfman! You can backhand. Hey, good time. What's up, Turkey? Playing some Alice Cooper, Turkey? Yeah. Hit it. Nice. Oh, God. There you go. Got two more. I don't know what you're talking about. Actually, if my opto's out on that ramp, then maybe you'll never get it. You'll never get it. Yeah, never did it. No. Hey Wolfman, have you played this before? Alright, um... Really hard to post on this. Yeah, sound the vibe. Nice job. So you gotta hit in the middle to relight it? Yeah. Oh! Nice! End of safe. Back to life! Yeah, I gotta change my pattern. It'll get me back. Oh, okay. You got one more shot. Come on, Chad! Give it up for that one! Woo! That was pretty. The bubble. The bubble. Ah, come on! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Hey. Wow. It's working. Yeah. Ah, it's the Simpsons all over again. Damn it. It's the damn couch. All right. Coming for you. Now right in the middle of the finish line. We got another. Oh. Oh, man. That's so close. You almost killed him. All right. That was impressive. That was good points. Wow. Nice and hard. Thanks for the emus. Don't panic, flip! I know he's not here, but whatever. Come on, Christian. Come at me, baby. Oh, yeah, I will. Thank you for the raid. It's really easy to cradle up here. If you hit the guillotine shot enough times, you get an extra ball. Oh, wow. I didn't know it was there. Nice. Border world, thank you for the raid. Awesome. All right, pit creature, you get a ton of points from it if you do it right. Man, that's not hard. Portland, Oregon in the Hiz House! Okay, what's nice about Monsters is it gives you a ton of ball saves. In case you're just sucking. Alright, I found it! It could have been that in those first three shots lit and only one of them was the Pit Creature. Oh, fuck. I should have wiggled it out. All right, well, Pit Creature has the potential to get a lot of points if you play it. That deserves a rip. All right. This is me, right? Okay. okay look everyone where my on which the pit creature what's up the car cave come on now nothing Go, Tens. Exclamation point rip. That's one word. Exclamation point rip. How you doing, Kirk? That was bad. Kirk, what is your pinball name? KGB. KGB into his house. All right, Biff. I got something catchy I can do. Represent. Yikes. Biff in the house. Woo! Woo! There's a ball in there. Ah, yeah. Wait, you can steal? Yeah. Ball save? Hang on. There's secret passage in there. Alright. There you go. One thing. Ah! Oh! All right, switching the bugs. I know it's very small. Ah, come on. Why didn't they get ball save? That's weird. Not for a multiball. Usually you do for multiball. Post on Instagram that everybody all punched together back there. It looks like it's important. Yeah, Look Arcade had a question. So, I haven't had much time with this game. is there much strategy with what rooms you choose to go to? Honestly, because the ball is so bouncy, you could change your mode as you're going. Like I said, Pit Creature you get a lot of points from. If you've got a ball locked and ready to go, Insects is good, and Igor is good, because they have a lot of lit targets, especially Insects, it has a lot of lit targets. So if you have an extra ball going, Your odds of hitting a shot and getting something are good. Cold Ethel is kind of hard. It revolves around a shot up here, so you have to get the ball up to the upper play field, and then you have to drop it below the right flipper to start Cold Ethel, and then you have to hit him back up. So Cold Ethel is actually kind of hard, and it's difficult. Zombie, the shot moves around as it's going, so it's kind of cool. But you have to get your balls to the right flipper. Whereas Werewolf, the shots are always kind of lit. And Werewolf, as you saw with Manu, it's a two-step process. So you hit a lit shot, and then you hit the center shot. But it's really satisfying. Audrey! Sorry. Manu. you. Audrey is in the stream! Here let me give a shot. Frankenstein Monster is a multiball in the top left and Alice Cooper is a guillotine shot so that's also going to be hard. Vampire is a target at the very top back so it's also an upper play field shot where you have to get it up to the play field and then hit that one target. The nice thing about Vampire is that once you get the ball up to that shot It's relatively easy to recradle up the ball in the flipper. So I've done Vampire. You can do Vampire all in one go. You get it up there, you hit that target, it comes back down, you recradle, and you just keep hitting the shot until the monster's done. Anytime you complete all the shots on a monster, this target gets lit. It's a hurry-up, and it's a big collect. You get something like, I don't know, 20 seconds to shoot that shot. and it has a music or audio that like ramps up, gets higher and higher pitched. It's kind of a hard shot to hit. But yeah, werewolf, zombie, insects, pit creature, a lot of points, Alice Cooper, vampire, and cold athel, those are the upper play field, which are kind of difficult. Igor. Igor, I think, just has a bunch of shots lit as well, and you have to find Igor. It's kind of like pit creature, but a little different. Alright, okay, that's enough. Alright. Okay, stop talking, I'm gonna play. I've never got to Billions Babies. Alright. Billion Babies. Cheers. What are you drinking? Probably something with you, but yeah. Yeah. Being a good stuff. Well, somebody, in Chris's, in Chris's defense, he's the only one here who knows, well, Biff knows too, but he's the only one here who knows how to play. Audrey! Hi! Hi, Audrey! We are at Outer Orbit, which is, where is this place? Where is this place? In the Mission. Where's the Mission? Right now the Mission's going off. The 49ers just won a playoff game. 49ers won. If you know the Knockout, we're next to the Knockout. Yeah. And Royal Cuckoo. But all the streets are shut down right now. There's cops everywhere. Dirty Toes. Someone was firing a gun off. People were shooting out fireworks. Talk about that. Dirty Toes, yes. I am in a bar playing pinball. I'm drinking cider. Family friendly restaurant. Sorry. Sorry, restaurant. not bar restaurant what's up Joe Soap? okay I'm kicking some butt here Alice Cooper in his house look at that, I mean I meant to do that I mean clearly four million skill shot, what? Jesus Audrey I missed you! Audrey I didn't realize you were gone Audrey no one knew you were gone What happens when you don't tell people? Audrey, that's your fault. Okay. Squishing. If we're knowing how to play this, I'm actually in last place. Kind of ironic, I guess. Swizzlefish, thank you for the follow. So if you get to ball three and you haven't started a mode yet, the machine takes pity on you and it automatically starts a monster. Alright, well, I'm gonna go for the cheap points and try and steal this multiball. So there's a ball that's locked right now and if I drop the ball into cold Ethyl, I get that multiball. Look at you! And then hopefully that gets me a little progress towards getting the monster. So, light mystery is lit right now, it's kinda... I can't point, but it's in the center of the play field to the left of Change Mystery. If you hit that shot, it lights up the Collect Mystery. Right now the Collect Mystery is lit because of the multiball. You'll get points if you get that shot. Ow! Ah! No air defense there. Alright, boss coming back. It is possible to hit the light mystery from the left hand side. I should have dead passed that. Alright, whatever. Oh, what was that? Oh, come on, finally. Alright, so now the scoop is going to be lit. Alright, if I had hit the scoop though, it would have started the monster mode. Alright. Here we go. I am... I am one right orbit from my monster. SbSh... SbShuvleslayer? What kind of cameras do I use to stream? The Playfield Cam is a Sony CX... CX405. It's 60 frames per second. It's the best camera. This is my mobile rig, so the only other things I bring are two Logitech C920s. They're USB webcams. Not the greatest in the world. Florida was amazing. Florida was fun. Rise of the Resistance is the best ride on the planet. Yes. Oh, ball save. Wow, thank you. Yeah, the game's kind of generous. It's nice, yeah. It's coming back. That's a pretty purple. Thank you. Oh, come on. Not coming back. No, there's no better one. You had three of them lit. If you got the... Thank you, Swizzlefish. I work hard, man. Or woman, or whatever you identify with. I have no problems with anything. Where's Elizabeth? Where's Elizabeth? Elizabeth, yeah. All right, well, no one's playing. I'll keep talking. One of the things I haven't explained is... Identify with fish. Awesome. What's going on? Identify this fish. I'm chatting with my awesome people. Yeah, a little conversation. I'm color commentary. You're the fat guy. What's that reference to? All right. So the X's that are up here, if you like both of them, this target becomes lit and that's how you get your playfield multiplier. I haven't explained anything else. If you're not in a mode and you get the ball up to the upper playfield... Sorry, it's too good. And it says, I love the dead up there. If that's lit and you backhand it and get the guillotine shot, It says, I love the dead. If you continue to hit that shot, you get a multiball. Yeah, it's interesting. It locks the ball up there and it drops it. Why don't you thank Little Bubblegum for the follow-up? Yeah, it's your turn. I've just been trying to chew up air time. He didn't thank you for the follow-up, Little Bubblegum. Thank you. I know, I know. One left orbit for your monster. I did with these Girl Scout cookies that I got packed up. Come on. Audrey likes your haircut. Huh? Audrey likes your haircut. Oh. Your hair looks pretty rad, man. It looks good. What about my haircut? I like it, Killa. Killa, Thriller from Manila. Okay, ball. Oh, it's a walk off. Peace! Yeah, it's a walk off. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Hi. Oh, I missed it. I almost got it again, Kurt. I missed it. I missed it. I missed it. I missed it. I missed it. I missed it. I missed it. I missed it. I missed it. I missed it. I got it again, Kurt. That would have been even more points. That's a tough live cast. Like $10 million or something stupid. I don't know. You're starting at the bottom. You're in the zone. You can bang on the monster chain. We are here in outer orbit. I just won. I put up a decent score. Let's fire this thing up. Good game. Thank you. I'm just going to finish my quarters. I'm just going to finish my quarters and then you can go. Do you want to do a flipper change? You want a flipper change? Can you do it quick? Yeah, I want to do this. All right. So, Christian is going to put new rubbers on. Now? Yep, he's going to just do it right now. We're doing it live. I kind of want to see what the difference is. See if it matters or not. I think it will. We're doing it live, folks. We're pulling out the glass. We're putting rubbers on that match the state championships. How many people watched the state championships yesterday? Titan Brandy? Wow, these come off a lot easier than the glass. It's so much more clear without the glass. They're really soft. Yes, it is. But we have to play with the glass on. I know, right? They're a lot tighter, that's for sure. Than on the Star Trek? Well, no, maybe the same. Cool! And the Channel? They're all the way down? Eh, it doesn't look like it. JoSo! Do we need to be all the way down? TechStream, yes, it's a TechStream now. We talking super bands, we talking ultra bands! Oh, you know, it's okay. I only think that would have been better if the rubbers were white. Because the flippers are black. I know. It doesn't show up on stream too, but that's okay. Me and Today with the Women's 2. Me and Today with the Women's 2. That's a sentence, Joseph? Most exciting discussion about rubbers ever. I know, right? Laser Los, what's up? The Alice Cooper at a local spot has black rubbers on black flippers. So hard to see, LOL. Okay. I think we're okay. Wow. Okay, that means I'm going to do worse now because my game was tuned in for the old black flippers. I trust you. All right, glasses for the back orange. You got that lock bar? it's not that much different I know it's a little dirty up there but it's not that much different with the glass with the glass on as long as the glass is clean we keep things clean around here watching the state championship oh I see thank you Joseph I have trouble with chat yeah dead cow I say that cow super cool I'm appreciating the explanations of how the modes work I'm just getting into pinball all right so Christian they're liking your explanations old black is the new black it's like having the eyes of a 20 year old but it was having kind of cataract oh god I miss your dark humor so much little bubblegum used to stream with me oh yeah yeah Your stream looks awesome, MPT3K. Thank you. All right. Ready? Okay. All right. I don't know. Same order? Same people? Should we get... I'm going to bring Helene in if she wants to play. Oh, yeah. Ooh, hit Robert. What do you think so far? I think I like it. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, wow. I still suck, but yeah, that was pretty cool. That was pretty cool. This is much better. Alright, let's see what we got here. Aw, come on, scare again. We've got to go. Let's see. All right. Got to go. Bye, little bubble gum. Whoa. Bye, Audrey. All right. Cool. I did not like insects before. Now we need our good players. Shut it. Oh, really? Nice. Hey, I got 17 million, okay? Thank you. Yeah, please. I hope you get it. All right. Yeah. Yeah. No, we got four. I'm not playing. I'm watching chat. I'm watching chat. You guys miss me? Go ahead. Hitting a lot of bullshit. Oh, yeah. I haven't noticed a difference yet. Because I haven't touched the area. That's better. Nice. Nice. Nice. Wow. Holy. Oh, that was good. Yeah, custom. Levitate. Levitate. Right? Come on. I think those slingshots are a little too bouncy too Oh You think That you think Bouncy Nice Yeah see Nice way Alright Let get the live cast in here Ah. Oh! Wouldn't have done that one either. No, you're right. I don't think I'm making progress though. And what am I trying to hit now? That left? Do you need a left? Either the left or the... Oh, the scoop is ready to go. Everything's on that side. So Joe Soap says, your monster lock switch is broken. Turn it off and back on again. Your monster's... Is this the switch you meant? Yeah, I think we disabled it. Yeah. Yeah, if you're referring to the Frankenstein, yeah, it's been disabled. Joe Soap, we disabled it because there is a... There's an issue with this machine. The servo for the diverter is not working. So Frankenstein still works, but the diverter doesn't. All right, Helene's up next. No, play your game. I'm trying to get through chat. What do you guys think of this, though? Because I never played it. I'm getting to like it, but it doesn't make the shots any wider. Like, they're all, like, I'm having Houdini nightmares right now. They should have locked It's Still Blue. Yeah. Yeah, so they mentioned that. It's been disabled. I'm stoked that you're streaming because we don't have this game on route. Ladies and gentlemen, Helene. Is there a super skill shot? There is. So it comes around to the flippers and any of those shots are super skill shots. Okay. Yeah! Oh, she got the $1 million. $2 million. That'll do. We have a 40-yard line. We did get it. We did get it. I had a 30-yard line. And it takes the weight. Do you think it's a good vaccination? I just had the, uh, how are you? I'm like stout. Oh, my friend's been there. She's both. Have you tried that on ground? Oh, is there a place that they run on 10-and-a-half days? Yes, we've got it. Yes. It's not a normal coffee, but that's true. It's very... Come on. Ah! Here again. I mean, it's going to give it back. I just... I'll see you right there for a little bit, though. That's weird. Oh, wait, what, what, what, what? Okay. All three lights up. All three lights here. Let's take a look at our knob. Hey, nice. The one that's knobbed. All right, let's take a look at the other one. I can't. It's not around. It's a ball. They want to show people that it's not up to them. The ball is going to one side. The ball is going to one side. There, you got it. You can flip it around. The ball is not at all. And then you can light it up. Wow. It looks like player four is always going to kick ass. Player one. Player one. My only real complaint about this machine is Alice Cooper's call outs are so dead plain. Dead pan. Dead pan. They kind of are. They sound kind of canned, like he was in a room without much direction. And he had like a couple hundred or something of these to record. Oh, that's so much better. I love this. There's different patterns that you can set for how the magnet responds. and I gotta try different ones. Nope. Alright, multiball at least. Yeah. I have my own. All right. Light mystery. Nope. Ow. Ow, yeah, that was just frustrating. I don't know this. Anyway, I guess. I know. I agree. Yeah, you can't do it. Something happened. I agree. I know. Shut up. You got it. All right. More time. Let's go. I guess I'm second and I guess I'm... Oh, sorry. Dragging rear. Come on now. What do we got here? Alright, I'm still at the gate. I'm on insects. I really don't like insects. Let's try something. Actually, let's try some ramps. Let's try. Yeah, they get it. Come on. You know, just when I thought I was getting myself into the rhythm. Oh, no. Well, I don't think it's... Oh, okay. All right. Wow. That was nice. Your skill shot is four points and a half. For real? For real. Ah. I can't hit shit, though. Nope, I'm not hitting anything. This guy's all safe. Oh, come on! No! Mystery. Come on, give me a monster! Yeah! Against a monster? All righty. Vampire. It's really hard, but I love it. I love this song. It's like a rap song. So Alice Cooper is lit up there. Yeah, exactly. No, that's the Dracula. That's the only way to get points. You have to get up there. See the two sides? What's nice is that they give you a lot of time. Oh, come on! I never even got up there. So when you get up there, you just have to use the upper flipper and hit that target up there. And you get a ton of points. Well, not a ton, but you get the vampire points. This one is good. It's like our speed. No, Ralph's one is that one. Okay, good, good. That's the vampire. That's the vampire. Alright. So I was playing for you before, and I got a second. Wow, Lauren, I got a second. Yeah. Oh, four minutes. Oh, she didn't give it to you. Oh, she didn't give it? Oh, no. It's not fair. Yep. I love them. I love Lonnie Brooks. I'm getting like, my control here, I'm done it. Awesome. Dude, this is gay ass. Yeah, put it on my dab. Ah! It scared the scream out of me. I want the one that says kitten. Something about kittens. This is a Leslie score. Yeah. How many things do you think she can beat Leslie? Yeah, Leslie, are you watching right now? Leslie is my mentor and my idol. Nice, babe. Thank you. My contact is drying in my eye. Okay. . . . Okay, what am I doing? What's my motivation? Is that ramp over there? . . . Okay, let's . . . . Oh, that's a save. Okay, that's good. Right? That's a save, right? Yes, it's still going. Oh, save. Save. I was trying to dance with the little hand. We're dancing. Sorry about the delays, people. Delays? We had a little streaming delay. Oh, look! I apparently sucked, so... I got a pity monster. Oh, God. Oh, God. Yeah, you get a free one. Oh, but you should get a medal. The drill is so good. The drill is so good. I like the drill. And the ball is free. It's a good race. Ah. It's like a five-legged ready. You can't do one. It's free. Yeah. It's a good race. Ah. I suck at aiming. My ball control is okay. There you go. I suck at aiming. I like this circle. You're walking very 1990s. I know. Oh, yeah. Count it. Yeah. Oh, these rubbers are way better. Yes. I find that the like the filth liner is thinner and less of a problem. I got it on this. Yeah, that. I need to buy more. I need more. Oh, that. Oh, that. Oh, that. Ah, a boss. Ah, a boss. Yay. All right. This is what happens when you beat a monster. You get a frenzy mode, it's called. Where you get to hit a lot of shots and get points and stuff. I counted. Coming back. Oh, no, it's not. Sorry. Whatever it was. Whatever it was. All right, now the hurry up. Did I get good points? Yeah! I got good points. Let's see if I can break him. Okay, so I just found out that on the third ball, if you have sucked like I have, and you haven't started any of the monsters, it gives you a pity monster. So whichever one you start, that's what you get. I guess. Wow, he cracked a 39. No, I'm zombie. Oh, pit creature. That wasn't even close to what I... This guy is angry too. He's like, Boom! Boom! Boom! He's gonna put the tilt-bob in the next one. There too! There's Jack. There's Jack. Oh, holy shit. Oh, holy shit. Man, come on. Come on, settle down. Settle down. Settle down. Come on. Well, I got a broken million. So, yay. All right. Okay. Oh, I'm not in. Oh, it's too big. Oh, nice day. Sammy, what is it? I think I'm going to sit out. Get him in. Okay. All right, I've got to get up there at some point. Oh, by the way, I put it on. That should have counted. I hit the ball off. There. Wow. At some point. At some point, I'm going to get somewhere. It's so sad. It used to work beautifully. Oh, that, yeah. I just keep bricking. What? That was fucked up. I had a ball save and it didn't give me anything. Oh, alright. Who operates this game? It was Greg. It's Greg operates this game. Typical greats game. I got a super skill shot. I'm watching you here. I'm talking to you. I always do. I come back and I destroy him. I mean, you're rude. I used to do that with Brian. I would say, and then he, I would watch exactly what he did. Wow. I mean, it's so, I mean, yeah. Destroy him. Now, let's give it a chance. I don't know how to do it. Nice. Nice. Yeah. Bring it. Oh, my God. It's so scary. Christian, where's the EV chip? Ah! Oh, no. Is it this? Oh, no. Ah! I love this. That was super raps. I love the disco. Disco? Vampire is so great. Disco rap. If you can't, I don't care, keep me in your underwear. I felt like I wasn't making any progress towards Christian's score my god you have to get hit monster hit monster gives you a lot of that's what it is it's the best one if you can get it Yeah, nice. Nice. All right. Oh. I hate that. It never goes in there with the backhand. Lock him up. Oh. I just like I don't know this game enough. I'm like what do I really go for now? No, it's not you no, it's player one that's you but your star was 39 Maybe I got all 32. Maybe you did. Yeah, because you're a football fan. No, no, no, because your player was, yeah. What a bunch of fun! What up, Wax? Hold my beer. Hold my beer. I'm sorry you're getting beat down by a virtual pin right now. Watch us play a little terrible Alice Cooper and maybe that'll make you feel better. Wow, that was close. When Helene is in distress, she lets you know it. Screams. I'm in the next one. I want to be in the next one. We're still going, huh? Yeah. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey. Do the thing with the thing and press the button. I think I might have one more. Yeah. One more. We got one more game coming up. Alice Cooper's Nightmare Castle. We are at Outer Orbit in the Mission, San Francisco. The most fabulous food and drink and pinball. Thank you. Guys, if you're in San Francisco area, you have to visit Outer Orbit because, man, their Impossible Burgers are crazy. Really good. Crazy good. All right. I'm the last player. Sam is in. I think we got Sam. I'm in, I'm player four. You need one more. Helene just ripped it up, so she's like, I'm good. Drop the mic, I'm out. I'm player four, though. I'm player four. Because I got a good one. Player one. Come on in, baby. All right, let's do this. How about over here on the table? Not near the computer. Oh, sure. Sorry. I have never played this game! Drain down the middle. All right, they've got two more coming. That's all right. Who's next? Sam and Sam or Elizabeth or Sam and Sam? What do I do? Anything's a skill shot. Where's the ball locker? Just while I'm playing. Oh, I don't know. Christian, I'm seriously, like, lost. What do you mean? What the general ball locker rules Oh um so the Balog is kind of out of commission The three Balog is up here with Frankenstein I would avoid that but there is a crypt ball lock right here Okay. And that's a two ball multiball. So when you lock a ball there, it's kind of like TNA. You hit it again, it releases it. And you can steal the pass person. And then start getting shots with that two ball. Yeah, and you can steal the pass person. What's up, Death Gun X? That they lock in there. So same idea. And the outer orbits is how you get into monster mode. You do another one and then a secret alley. Whatever it is called. Woo! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Okay. Let's do this. Who's player three? Any thoughts on Rick and Morty and Stranger Things? There's a Stranger Things here. It's fun. We can't seem to hit the ball in the demigoggin or whatever it's called. Rick and Morty's not out yet, but it'll be amazing because we're getting Denise Lock 2.0. Is this you? I think it's Biff. Okay. Sorry. Sorry. Welcome to Biff Brick O'Clock. Jesus. I'm just, like, really good at bricking shots. All right. Nope. Nope. Nope. All right. All right. Those are four. Yes. DeathGunX, thank you for the follow. Welcome to the stream. I have to thank you. Last game. You're here just in time. Oh, you son of a gun. Go somewhere. Oh, it's going to come right back at me. It's these new rubbers! I can't play like this! Ah! Thank you. So, um, I think it's like a free ball. What's right there? But it's, uh... It's player one. Oh, it is player one. Yep. What was he doing? I think, yeah, it's part of the clean-up job. Oh, okay. Okay, they're kind of slow. Are you running out of air? I didn't really plan because I thought it was going to be clear. I didn't like the line. It was like right there. Oh, it's coming up. It's coming up. No, it's actually going to come out that way. I'll see. How many times is Jack in your dream? There must be a switch on. Is that where Len is? So cool. Is that where Len is? Yeah, we have a little link. He's not doing it though right now. No. Shake it. Oh, you thought it was in position? Oh, it looks like the shot is back. Really tight shot. Really tight shot. Really? Seriously? There's a hundred shots but they're all super tight. Oh my god. Player two! They're trying to play this game man. Thank you. What are we looking like? Alright, player two is racking it up.

Oh, you were talking about the ball lock? Yeah. Alright, ball save, ball save. That's cool. I don't know if the rubber is better. You know, for the gameplay. Do you think it's better? I don't know, man. Really? I think maybe the rubbers on all the um, flint shots also need to be changed what do you think? maybe they're also really bouncy yup I don't really know what I'm hitting right now alright alright Wow. Ah, no! Oh, that's not like they got us. Whatever. That's pretty good. Good. Yeah. We can fight it in the lane. Yeah. Okay, okay. All good? We're okay. What is it? What is up? I'm gonna hit something eventually, right? Yeah, I could fall off! Oh yeah, it moves around, I forgot about that. Come on! Come on! What was that? What was that? What was that?
