Open your eyes What can you see around Wind of the open sky Over the silent sound This is a dream, getting the royal scar Holding a diamond blade, throwing it far Holding your breath still You try to fight, but I'll just sit and wait Till you die You got it, don't try to tell me you got the wrong guy Got the wrong guy Don't try to tell me you got the wrong guy Good evening, everyone. My name is George. Do we have sound? Audio mixer? Yes, we have sound. Why do we have video capture? You didn't have time. That was my choice. I am Mrs. Lisbeth. Yeah, we also had video capture on for some reason. We have sound. Iron Fox, good evening. Test Bishop, CNK, and Meta Knightmen. Everyone, good evening. I hope you're having fantastic days. I know mine was awesome. Work-related progress on stuff and things. Oh, I have music. Music I'm very excited about. Mama Mia, that's a spicy meatball. There we go. We have sounds, we have music, those should be coming through, but hopefully not too loud. Kiwi Frenzy, welcome to the stream. Let's see, so did a bunch of planning, which was super fun, around a hackathon for work. And this morning, I may have mentioned it last night, I was prepping, I was building a slide deck. I feel very old when I say that. But it went amazing this morning. I think it went amazing. I guess I was the one giving the presentation, so I don't know for sure. But it was awesome. And then lots of great follow-up. Ended up, like, I have a couple of people that I work with often who are actually in the hackathon. And I got to ask them questions about, like, how is it? Are people just frustrated that nothing's getting done? Is it collaborative? Here's me dumbly hoping that people are actually enjoying themselves in a hackathon. and they are. It's collaborative, and they ran into issues, but everybody was like, how can we swarm and help out with all of these different problems and issues? Since I coordinated it, helped set it up, sorry, I helped coordinate it. It was actually a team of people, which was super fun. And I'm leading it in a cool way, but I can't actually take part in it. That would kind of defeat a little bit of the purpose. So we've got a large number of people developing these four different apps that are doing really cool things. And it was so much fun to get things kicked off. But we start at 8 a.m. tomorrow. And there's a couple more get-togethers. There's a couple of status updates, check-ins, make sure everybody's doing okay. And, yeah, fingers crossed it continues to go well. And, Teth Bishop, anytime. I'm just happy to hang out with everybody. Also, this camera is not, it's pointed up for tall people like Paul, who was on the stream recently. Did you order your Vegemite LE CNK? It's already in. I have not yet been invoiced for it. I'm expecting to get invoiced for the full amount here, likely by flipping out in the next few days. And so George is streaming till like 2 a.m. Yeah, exactly. It is a, yeah, and I totally pulled down. Let's see, maybe a little bit more. Okay, maybe we went a little bit too much there. Now, yep, a little too much. Perfect, perfect. Yada, yada, yada. Dice, welcome to the stream. Anyone else a little disappointed that everyone had just poo-pooed the Venom features release? I think it looks, thank you. Well, I'm not upset with them, right? Like, I like the fact that there's people not always like, oh my god, it's the most amazing pinball ever, but do I, is it weird to me that Venom, which to me seems like such a cool theme, like there's a, hire a peanut, welcome, that there's so many people who aren't interested in the theme and who don't want a fan layout game, who think, like, we've all, we're all, what was the phrase? There was a phrase to describe Zombie Yeti. Like, so much of an amazing artist. I just, can a part of me actually empathize with some of that? Sure. But at the same time, like, we're frustrated that there's too much of fantastic artwork out in the pinball world. You just want something else. Like, I get it. I understand. Once again, I don't want to make it seem like I can't empathize at all with that sentiment. I get it. I do. At the same time, like, there was a part of me years ago that was like, after Ghostbusters, Zombie Yeti should do all. Oh, my. Team Club Central, Marty. What is that? Hey, Marty bringing 200... You never loved me, Mom! The yeets and the skirts. They lied. Did not see me in a bit. Oh, Game Club Central subscribed with Prime. the alert slide? What just happened? Well, regardless, Game Club Central, you are fantastic. Thank you. Something is obviously misaligned here. Whatever. I appreciate it regardless. Through you, Primer, my direction. That gets the hats off. Thank you. And we are now at level two, so we've hit that vapor wave theme. Oh, wait, hold up. So I gotta catch back up. So disappointed is strong, I think. It's a fan layout. Seems okay, says Higher Peanut. And the disappointed... It's weird. I don't know if Facebook is just like, we're going to suddenly give you all of the comments on posts on Facebook that are negative as opposed to the positive ones. But that's all I'm seeing. I actually took pictures of it and posted it to the group with Joel, Hottie, and Mike from Pinballers. Because we're going to be on the Flip N Out Pinball with Friends tomorrow night discussing Venom. And I sent them, I'm like, no, no, no, it's real. On Facebook, this is what I'm being hit with are a lot of people who are frustrated. Like, honestly, I'm kind of happy. I don't have to buy this game. And I understand that sentiment. I have said it and I feel it all the time. Like, the new one from Haggis is not my cup of tea. I don't like the style of artwork. Honestly, I don't like, I think it's Paul Faris. I don't think I like any of his artwork. and the game I just haven't spent enough time on to be excited by it being re-released as opposed to Fathom. Fathom is, to me, it fits the theme. I don't know who does art. It would be really funny if it was Paul Faris after saying that, who also does the artwork on Fathom. But I like the artwork on that one. Not that I've looked at it in a detailed way, and I'm going to continue catching up on chatting here in a second, but it fits in the lights, and that game itself is actually a ton of fun, and I have spent a decent amount of time on that. Lost my train of thought. I'm going to catch up on chat, though. Meta Knightman says, I think it's finally a theme I'm not the most excited about, but I'm excited to play it nonetheless. Razor, welcome to the stream. And Game Club Central not only subbing, then throwing 100 bits down. That is a cheers. Good sir, Marty. It has been a while. I hope your evening is going so well, and I guess we've got to come up with a... Oh, Dice, we need a question of the night. Dice says, I wish I had sprung for the LE. That cabinet Zydar is happy cat. Game Club Central just cheered 100 bits. Yes. I don't know if that happened. Oh, it did just happen again. I'm like, there's something wrong with our alerts right now. I'm going to have to jump in and go check that out. Let's see. I don't think the video gave me enough. Oh, sorry. Going back up to the LE. Dice, man, the pro artwork is fantastic. The Ellie artwork is exactly what I was expecting the Ellie to be, which is just that deep blue with blues on top of blues and just all venom. But I love the fact that it's venom wrapping around carnage on the other side, too. I love it. I think it's great. You did not rain. Okay, cool. I'm still getting caught up here. The deep dive on Twip has the playfield picks. Oh, and the playfields are actually different. Like, there's minute differences and changes in the playfields, which is kind of unique. Game Club Central. I have 227 viewers. I'm doing great. And let's see here. I'll have to check that out. I think I'll watch Dead. Yeah, okay, so Dead Flip is starting at, I think, 7 p.m. Mountain Time, and the Flip N Out Pinball with Friends starts at 8 p.m. I don't know. Maybe we push that back. I also want to watch, sorry. Yeah, I want to watch Dead Flip. Like, I actually want to watch some gameplay. I'm so excited to see what's happening behind all of the ramps and everything in the back of the playfield. I don't really understand it. Felt like peeps needed to find things to be upset about, each to their own. I'm going to wait to complain when I actually play it. Kiwi, that is well freaking said. That is, Test Bishop confirms that's reasonable. Venom reveal, hey Borg Dog, makes me like Pulp Fiction more. Okay? Pulp Fiction just looks amazing. And I understand, once again, not being interested in the theme. Also, it's a fan layout. And there was nothing on the play field that really wowed me. Like, it's not an entire building moving up that changes things like it is in, oh my god, what's the name of that game? Godzilla. At the same time, it does have a state change component with that thing that goes back into three different positions. And the other fun thing, it sounds like, is based on the player you choose to the host you choose, it changes like how the play field is laid out or how some of those components are. So I love that. I also love the concept of experience. Obviously, there we go. Experience. I love that idea of using experience to level up and then your level maintaining or persisting past each gameplay. So there's a lot of rules-based things, I think, going into this that are super exciting. And then, of course, White was ridiculously excited about all of the animations. So I think I'm sticking with my Ellie, and I think I'm going to be happy. Let's see here. When I play multiple iterations on location of pro free, then I can be confident in judgment. That is, yeah, like said earlier, that's very reasonable. MetaKnightman's excited to flip it and interested to see the rules. Game Club Central. Thank you for those bits again. I know, I'm just getting caught up. Hmm. Let me consult the Oracle and get you a nightly question. Darn it, George, you need more channel redeems. We're getting there. Eventually. It's cool. I started development on something kind of fun today. I'm probably another week, maybe a little bit longer, before it's actually ready to show to you guys. So I don't want to... I don't know. it's kind of difficult and the problem is right now figuring out how i'm going to persist the data i think i already have a format for doing so and there's some reusability here but uh it's going to add a whole new component to the level up the sorry the experience points and leveling of the street mpt3k i don't know if that's a real raid is that a real raid that is a real raid Manu just rated us with 27 beautiful individuals. Manu. My hat's off to you. I'm still catching up on chat. I love that call out. It's fantastic. The shots are very vertical, so I expect very wide outlanes to compensate. And Cellcross, that's a good evening. I like the rumors that you can unlock different characters via certain achievements. You can, it is built into the play field to show when those three characters are unlocked, and they're massive characters. So, it's Wolverine that has the contagion or has the Venom host on it, Captain America, and a third person, I don't remember who the third person is. Game Club Central, congratulations, bought their first pinball machine. Pulp Fiction. I think I remember playing it with you at TPF. I think you made a great purchase. That is a fantastic game. I'm going to scroll down. I am so far from caught up right now. It is a real rave. Yeah, it was weird. Manu, we got a sub that came through as a rave earlier from Game Club Central. That is, yeah, my bad. But, let's see here. Pirate Phones Ninja, can we use Stern insider connected to save our leveling of the stream pirate uh so the stream level and then your personal uh level your personal level already persists but the stream level does not persist between streams so um after seeing all the vitriol aimed at venom today i've been given a positive qotn question of the night and i doubt everyone's answer will be the same so this should be good what's the best thing you've got going on in your life right now? Says Dice. Flipstream, and with that beautiful plus one, speaking of XP. Hi there, Flipstream. Good evening. So I've got to go back up. More chat I'm still catching up on here. Pulp Fiction is looking at, I think, the LE shipping out in, what is it, January or February of next year. So it's going to be a while. and I just listened to the pinball show again this morning and got confirmation that there's not only a gap in September, but there's also a gap in November on production where nothing is slotted. And when you see gaps like that, it A, could have to do with them moving to a new facility, but also it could be that they're planning on releasing another game, perhaps a home, maybe it's something smaller, like a vault or something like that. So kind of exciting there. the pivoting ramp yep there's the up down on venom there's not a lot going on in the back of the playfield pop nested hidden scoop it's the funky mechs that replace the u-turn on the premium that look to be new also the thing that rotates out that has the doppelganger spider-man on it the pro does have the u-turn the premium doesn't have the u-turn and it has I think two major components on it that change where the ball goes on the play field. And I think the combination of those, one of them has, I think, three or four different states on it, and the other one is a ramp that lifts up and sends you to an upper ramp. And then the combination of those three, you now have the ability with four different characters to change where the ball, to essentially change how the play field works based on the choice of the person you select at the beginning of the game. So, catching back up here. dice says for me right now it's the bag of lemonade popcorn i'm eating it's so delicious um for me what's a positive thing going on right now is i gotta go back to the hackathon that i mentioned earlier that was a really great work related uh event that we're we're coordinating managing hosting and and running and once again gotta be uh gotta be in there ready to go at 8 and tomorrow yet. Um, Test the Ship wants to try Trader Joe's dip yogurt-based elote dip. I heard it's good. Dice confirming believes the hype. Um, let's see here. It is kind of choose your own adventure pinball. Yeah, Marty, absolutely. That is, rules-wise, that's what it seems like. I'm excited to see what happens here. Thanks, Tone. Welcome to the what just, What just happened? Oh, we just hit level three. Hi. Hi, everybody. Level three is not a milestone level, so there's no yeet and skirt over here. It's always the opposite direction, right, because it's reversed and then flipped upside down and then flipped right side back up. Elo-te. Got it. Okay. Thanks, Test Bishop. Oh, my God. The YouTube comments can be just awful. who is that surreal good evening and welcome i hope you sir are feeling better um mexican street corn as i know it what hatred for venom was there serif good evening that's the that's that's the issue there's there's a lot of people who just i i don't know about hate but just don't seem interested in Venom at all. And that's, I was genuinely surprised. And I think it's just that Venom isn't maybe as popular as some of the main characters who existed back in the 80s in comic book land. Despite the fact that he has his own movies now, maybe he's just not mainstream enough. Self-processing. How do most people in the chat feel about Venom? I feel there is a better... Oh, got it. By asking the people in chat, that is a better gauge by which to judge interest or get some feedback on Venom. Venom was predictable from Eddie. Oh, I'm guessing the movies that involved Eddie Brock. Oh, wow, Sarah, good point. Yeah, so Dwight is very polarizing in some ways to pinball enthusiasts, right? because there can be some issues with tournament-style scoring, which doesn't bother me. But I guess in a way, countering that is we have Dwight on main rules, but there's also Ray Day who's involved as well. So knowing Ray Day is on it, I feel like there's going to be some balancing to the score. We're going to get incremental revisions to scoring to help try to keep it balanced. Oh, Brian Eddy, got it. Brian Eddy, the designer, is predictable, it seems. That's interesting, right? Because he's done three games. One of them was the standard fan layout. The other one was the standard fan layout with an upper play field with two more flippers on it. And now he's doing a fan layout with multi-state change mechanics on the play field. Cell processing. Looks fun to me. I won't buy it, but we'll play on location. but I'm remaining in on my LE. The artwork on that is just too amazing. You have to allow for Dwight rule design. Good point on Ray Day. Kiwi, exactly. So in my opinion, I feel like we might get some of the best code ever where we get high-level design from Dwight, which I love. Like, I still look at Mandalorian. I know Mandalorian gets crapped on, but I think it's a fantastic game. And if we can get that level of integration and simplicity and tracking current state on progression while at the same time having some really fun mini-wizard and wizard modes, and then make all of it add that extra depth that Ray Day brings and a set of rules that tournament players can really enjoy, and I think we could end up with a tournament darling coming out of this. Elwin has succeeded in the way his games do feel different in layout shots with some familiar aspects. Yep. He changes it up every time. Brian Eddy is my ACDC. Is it the same every time? Yeah, but it's so good at being what it is. Dice, well said. Venom sounds like TMNT and Mando combined rules-wise. Interesting. I don't know how we're progressing, and I know there's a level component. Yeah, that one's kind of interesting. I'm going to reserve on bass tone on thinking it's a mix between Tia Menti and Mando until I get to see it played, which we will get to see it live from San Diego Comic-Con tomorrow just before. So that's at 7, and then I'll be on YouTube with Joel, Hadi, and Mike from Pinballers tomorrow night at 8 o'clock p.m. Mountain Time. I think it's 8 o'clock p.m. Mountain Time. It is. On the Flip N Out Pinball with Friends YouTube channel. So hopefully we'll be discussing some of the gameplay we've already seen and then obviously reactions and a lot more thoughts. My thoughts on Venom is that George is a very good-looking pinball player. Manu, thank you, thank you. Let's ask this question. How has Venom raised the bar from what we know? So Test Bishop, the big thing is going to be on the premium in LE. is there a choosable basically state change that drastically alters gameplay on the table is it kind of like playing four different tables and if so that's significant if it's not I'm not sure how it's changing anything which is really interesting to me because if the game plays wildly different based on the selection of the host that you choose I think it's worth it if not I don't know that the premium LE is the way to go and that for me is going to be the huge question. I want to try and get answered by the end of the day tomorrow is, is the premium LE worth it? Yes, exactly. Sarah, supposedly choosing the character changes the play field. Supposedly. Supposedly, supposedly. Ha! Dice. I'd call anything bar raising that makes me have 9,000 less. Okay. So what are we doing tonight? By the way, I'm going to switch over to Sorcerer's Steamtree. There we go. We have lined up. We. I love the voice, by the way. Somebody mentioned that that voice could get grating over time on Venom. I agree. It could become frustrating or irritating over time. I'm still not disappointed. yeah flip stream that's always the question do you see between the pro and the premium is it two thousand dollars more fun and i feel like that it's rare to come across that once again if they achieve a different feel to the game once with the state change components a mixture of two different state change components to me that that that might be that might be adequate. That said, I'm kind of excited to play the pro regardless. It looks nice. It looks clean. Seraph, to add, I feel like, even more to that question of whether or not it's different, you can look at the playfields on the Premium and the Premium LE versus the pro and the Playfields are actually different They have different artwork on them Doesn Pro have two less Yes yeah Meeple Eater, it's significantly different. Are there any video games that talk to and insult, compliment the player like a pinball machine does? Asking chat. Interesting. there is a game I haven't played it yet but I've watched it it's like Stanley Parable would be one where you're moving around and there's someone narrating what you're doing but it's weird you're supposed to do what the narrator says and the narrator gets more and more frustrated with you as you don't listen to him the Deadpool video game talk to you okay good nice dice cell processing Game Club Central confirming that as well. Many recent roguelites. I was just about to say, Hades also, the main character, talks to you and kind of makes fun of you. I haven't made it that far in Hades, though. Unreal Tournament's announcer reacts to how well you're doing. Good to know. All right, we're going to get started here. I know I said we're chasing Valinor. I just want everybody to know it's not going to happen. But that's not going to stop me from attempting. Well, not with that attitude. All right, mode start. I won already. I hit the mode start the first try. And we're in ENCE. Let's see. Oh, my God. Who is this person, and what have they done with George? That's two. Only four more to get a gift of the elves here. All right. We missed. That's fine. Oh, my God. Get out of there. You were just wasting my time right now. Hey, we got Boromir, though. There's three. Three more 25 seconds. That's it. You beat it. Have to sell it. Now, sell processing. This is not my game. Four. Two more. Five! I'll take it! I'll take it! Six! That is the gift of the Elv right there. First mode completed. This is Escher's game. Oh, wow, and we have Return of the King lit. Alright, so now we need to light another mode, and to light a mode, we need to hit elf shots. We have no elf shots, and right now it's on Gandalf. Let's try it again. Got it. All right, so we have our first elf. Wow. We also have lock lit. I'm going to go for a lock right now. Got it. This is our first lock. Oh, no, no, no. don't go in there. Thank you. Our second lock is also going to be on that shot. So we've got two elf rings. I don't, I assume it's all good. George, just because something isn't yours doesn't mean that you can sell it. It means you should. Crap, it doesn't know that the ball's in the lock There we go, got it Um, we're gonna go all the way around Uh, where is that elf? It's now on Gandalf? Got it Alright, mode start is lit, let's start this mode Can we do it? Said I wanted vegan options. Terry Red, welcome to the stream. Escher is too busy getting to Reactor 6 and TNA in tournament to play Lord of the Rings right now. Higher peanut, is Escher playing right now? All right, destroy the Witch King. We got a super. Let's see here. All right, so we're going to start our multiball. I don't know how much time... 3, 2, 1. All right. We got a replay. That was a little weird. I'm not going to lie. I don't know if we just completed Ring Frenzy. but we fell out of multiball we've also only got one shot left to get into i think a few other a few other balls we did not complete that mode all right uh let's see i don't know the rule but if you complete three shots during ring frenzy then collect at life extra ball okay that's what i didn't do i thought you just had to hit a whole bunch of shots uh nice bonus you did I didn't complete the mode because I don't have another Gift of the Elves. I timed out. Ring Frenzy is over as soon as you hit the center ramp. Oh, it's a build and collect mode. Got it. Okay, so I've got my elf on the right orbit. I do need Sam. So there's Sam. I'm going to try right orbit. Okay. We gathered three so I can start another mode, and I want to do Escape of the Ringwraiths and then start a lock. Good. Now, I have two different multiballs prepped right now. I think that's it. Yes. Yes. That sucks. And I drain, of course, immediately afterwards. I did get an extra ball somewhere, though. Squalito, welcome to the stream. I always try to max out Ring Frenzy, usually to my demise. There's a lot of points in Ring Frenzy. Now, is it true that there is an opportunity for an extra ball in Ring Frenzy? Okay, and we have Fellowship of the Ring, and we have another mode started. Okay, no extra ball. So I don't know why I was playing ring frenzy. Now we're in attack of Shilu. What do we need to hit? There's Gandalf. Ah! There's no ball save in this game. Oh, yes, yeah, that's what I was saying. If you complete three of the ring shots, yes, it lights extra ball. Got it. Okay. Okay. Okay. That was crap. Fellowship. All right. This is hit the Valrag. All right, we're good. We're good. So we got to hit Balrog. Got him. Crap. Beautiful. So now we're going to do that. Oh, no! Oh! Okay, completing a ring shot is hitting it three times, once for each ring. Three ring lanes, you need to fill up the L4 fan lights on a shot. Yeah, this. So it's doable. Just got to keep the shots within 10 seconds of each other. Okay. Honestly, I could just hit the right orbit if that's lit. I could just do this. All right. We're going to go for Destroy the Ring because we're just going to complete everything here. This is hit four shots and then hit the center twice. And for whatever reason, hitting the center twice is the hardest thing ever. What are we listening to? This is not my music. But everybody talking shit probably sucks anyway. Y'all don't even know how I feel. I don't even know how I feel. This is a playlist that has like Gunship and Scandroid in 1984 on it and it was it was that that doesn't belong in there. That's obviously what was the problem there. Alright. It's only one of the three shots you need to complete. Okay. We're gonna do this again. We're gonna do this again. All right, so we got our skill shot. All right, right out of the box. Love it, love it. that did not help nor did that ew I mean that was just way too weak of an intro okay did you know you can make this game even harder you can turn up the cave troll before the balrog shows up no I believe it. Getting the extra ball will be a minimum of 10 shots, three orbits, three ramps, three left ramps, center ramp. Matters if you're going for Valinor. That is the Valinor Strat. The other Valinor Strat is not to drain so quickly on your first ball. All right. That's fine. All right. We got it. We got it. We got it. I'd say that should apply to most mode storage. I don't really think this makes it harder. You have ball save the whole time. But, Sarah, we reset it back to factory default settings, and it does not have ball save as a default option. So, at least from what I can tell, if you're playing a version of this with Ball Save, somebody manually added it. Yeah, this is that, I wanted to play it how it comes from Stern. Okay, got it. Oh, if you do troll during fellowship. Right orbit. Got it. Ah! That's supposed to catch that. Okay. Manu's doing something with the Lord of the Rings topper. Okay. I think we still need two more shots in six seconds. Can we do it? All right. We need one more shot in four seconds. I'm making a Lord of the Rings topper for free gold watch, complete with widescreen, playing all three movies in a loop, and various movie characters. That would be amazing. Does Asher Know You Factory reset his high scores? We kept the high scores. so his high scores are in I think it reset his time though and the reason was there was a bunch of weird custom settings in the game so you get less than one loop of oh got it you get less than one loop of movies per day if it plays all of them extended release simultaneously I kind of that what alright All right, three. Hi. It's fine. It's fine. We're going to hit this on the go. All right, so this will be level two complete. Oh, no, it's not. Okay. Level two complete. Nope. Oh, my God. Give me that back, please. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Are you kidding me right now? I'll take that last one. That's fine. All right, so we almost completed phase three. We're halfway done. We need eight phases there. Burn out a raspberry pie. Should make it all four movies. Everyone forgets the animated one from the 70s. Not sure if I'm in the minority, but I love that version, too. I never actually saw the animated films from the 70s. All right, we do have a mode start. Sure, there's Sam. We need Legolas and Gimli. Let's see if we can grab Gimli on the fly here. Just like that. All right, on the fly Legolas, because by calling it, we're doing it. There it is. Mode start. Yeah. And this is going to kick it back down. We go for the left orbit on the fly. We start our fellowship multiball, and then we profit. That sucks. I've had better. Crap. Lock. left orbit I don't know why I freaked out there but I did sorry not sorry there it is on the fly legless Lego legless alright Palantir is lit for an add-a-ball. This is great. It doesn't know where those balls are. I don't know. Oh, the mode. All right, we're going for... Oh, no. We did the thing. Let's try there. Got it. Boromir crossed. That's right. I don't know why I keep missing that we have to go for the middle. Got it. All right, we're going to backhand. Got it. All right, on the fly. Got it. I think that was a danger. Did I just danger? Let's see here. I would have to troll them after third movie it starts playing Peewee's Playhouse with full sound. Notice we still got those two balls just sitting there. Alright, now we have to wait for those other two balls to drop. Sounded bad. You can have the Balrog have Gary's face? I did not know that. So I think this kicks it out. There we go. It's crap. Whatever, we'll get one more. Mary just crossed. I don't know where we progressed. I know it keeps track of it there. We've also got Ball 2 locked. That was nice. Hmm. What do we need here? Phrasing, thank you. Hey, there's a code. Hey, Ogden, welcome to the stream. Okay. We can start a multiball over there on the right. It'd be nice if we could bring in a mode. What do we want to do? We're going to hit elf. No, we're not. Try it again. So now we need to hit Legolas. There it is. All right. We did a thing. We're holding our ring bonus. This is great. Now, oh, yeah, we need to hit that shot again to get our final ring. Ah. Sure, that's how we do a pose transfer. All right. Attack of Shalob, and we're ready to start a multiball. There it is. We also have Mystery Lit, which is great. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. So this is the one where we need 84 of these shots, or 42 while we have three balls. All right. We hit an attack of Shalob Shot. Beautiful. We're going to go Pippin. No, we're not. All right, all right, all right. Death Gun, I think it's worth it so far, but we'll see once we get to play some gameplay. All right, everybody out of the pool. All right, we have an extra ball. That's pretty awesome. I think we still have an add-a-ball right now, too. Oh, no. So I'm kind of liking just hitting that left orbit while keeping these trapped up. Ooh, it gave it to me and the extra ball. This is going pretty well. I'm liking it so far. Okay, okay, this is working. Okay. Trying to hit Palantir. Crap. I think we actually got pretty close, though, to beating two towers. That wasn't bad. Now, this is pod racing. Venom or Godzilla or Godfather? Ooh, interesting. Meeple eater, Venom or Godzilla? Um... Oh, I gotta catch up. Aovanti, welcome. For 20 years old, this is a really nice-looking pin. I agree. Once again, not my pin. This is Escher's. and dice. Thank you so much for finding that code. Alright, we're ready to destroy the ring. We've been through all three. We have a shoot again. Let us attempt to destroy the ring. We have no gifts as of yet. Four shots. There's one. Cool. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. We have our mode start. All right. Oh, man. We got to respel Keith three times. We need Pippin. That was just... That was just wild and out of control right there. I know, I am really looking forward to seeing the Venom gameplay. Okay, we have Golem multiball lit. I kind of want to make that happen. All right, so we have a mode start. There it is. All right, destroy the Witch King. Got Ball 1 locked We got ball one locked All right, we're going to try. All right, so now we need to shoot the right ramp, but we're going to run out of time. We did not finish that mode. All right, so now we're on to Sam. There's Sam. All right. Oh, we spotted a Fellowship. So we got Boromir. Okay. This is going to activate Lock. All right. So now we need Aragorn. Really? Oh. All right. Our mode start is lit. This is... This game is a slog. Oh, that's right. You can't stack your locks after the first one. Okay, so we have a mode start. I do need Aragorn. There we go. Aragorn and a ball lock. I think that's ball lock number two. Nope. We had Golem multiball lit that entire time, which we should have used. So trying to hit proto on the fly there. All right, all right. Cheers, everyone. I hope everyone is enjoying a beverage, or at least enjoying themselves. Of any of the liquidious varieties. Doesn't have to be something, what's it called? Doesn't have to be anything overly alcoholic. I like the artwork of Vault Spider-Man, but good God, the call-out. Self-processing. It's so funny, I have never actually heard the call-outs. I've only ever played it in loud situations, but I loved visually that game, and obviously it's Spider-Man, so it's fantastic. I would love to get a vault in here at some point. Yeah, and on Venom, once again, I think we're just going to have to wait to see some gameplay tomorrow. I'm excited. All right. Starting with War of the Ends. Let's see if we can hit this. On the fly. That works. Ten seconds added by hitting Palantir. That works. I kind of forgot that you can add time with that. That was crap, game. Okay. Got two shots. We need a lot more, a lot faster. It's basically... I cannot find this shot. I feel like it's unfindable. There we go. Found it. Good news. There is custom code that fixes that. Oh, really? Cell processing. I did not know that there was custom code for that. I don't think we're going to get there. I think that was four, maybe. We're going to have to hit it right on the fly here. We're going to have to do that again. Right on the fly. Oh! Yes! I will take it. I will take it. Are we still on ball one? There's the ball lock right there. And we've got Aragorn, so we need Legolas, Boromir, Sam. All right, we're... I'm feeling at least somewhat positive about where we're at right now. A little less positive now. All right, here we go. Legolas. Got it. Crap. Okay, we made it through almost two phases. Not great. Let's see here. We've got to hit Boromir, Legolas, and Sam. Boromir is always tough. We hit Gimli, though. Oh, we're in ring frenzy. There is no topper currently on Lord of the Rings I don't even know if there is a topper for this game Oh yeah, Hobbit has a heck of a topper, by the way So we've got ball lock number two. We're going to make our way, start working towards Return of the King again. We got our skill shot. Well, that was absolute crap right there. I didn't realize crap was a character in Lord of the Rings. There's R&R Pinhead. Yes. Yes, definitely. What do we got here? that's coming back around we got our skill shot we have a ball lock we have two multi balls ready to go fellowship and two towers we should start a mode there we go now when this comes down we on the fly we're going to hit the left orbit and start fellowship and let's see what we can do here Yeah, there we go. Beautiful, beautiful. Yes. Good. Not good. Better. Crap, alright So we've got four, no we've got five of them across And you can see them right across the middle here Drano Crappin, he's one of the trolls Lord of the O-Ring He's the town plumber for the Shire. You guys are great. Beautiful, beautiful. Awesome. Awesome. Ah! We, oh! Did we complete that? I wasn't paying, he said fly, you fools. Did we do it? Because I got something. Nothing gets the bowels working in the morning like second breakfast. Yes, yes. Oh, my God. I have a gift. A Vial. I heard Vial. You make funny sounds. Wow. No, no, no, no. I'm trapping up. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Speaking of getting the vowels working. Yes, you did. Good night. You're a jerk. Um, alright, so we... Yeah, second breakfast, go ahead and eat it. Add copy for Roto-Rooter. Uh, oh my god, what are we doing right now? So we have no elves lit to work on our modes, but we can work on multiball here. Thank you. That's right. That's right. Okay, but now we're down to just single jackpot mode. I got to get that add-a-ball. Crap. Missed it by that. It's such a dangerous shot. Got the edible. I'm going to be patient here. All right, we're good. We're good. So that was worth four shots because we're at 2x right now. Only lit elves may sit on the high council. Damn right, I'm waiting for someone else to pick out. Fun killer, welcome. Ah! Palantir is lit again, but I don't think it's the second Adaball. Wall is breached. We may have moved the game a little bit there. It was mild... Mildly frustrated. Mildly frustrated. it. Super everything for 10,000. Now we've got to destroy the ring. Oh my gosh. Hey, He gave me one Ring of the Elves, though. All right. We're at ball three. I've got to move this sucker back over. Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no. We're good. We're fine. All right. Let's destroy the Ring, shall we? Got it. Sometimes you just have to give it a little shimmy. Whoa, I think Art's sick on that one. There's one. Two. Two. Not good. Hey, R&R Pinhead, thank you so much for that follow. Also, Aovanti, thank you very much for that follow. It's fine. It's fine. Let's see if we can start the mode. I went all the way around. Let's see if we can start the mode and complete it. Nope. There it goes. Got it. I want Balrog Gary. What is it? Dice, you posted the code earlier. I can try the code. There's one. I think we got the extra ten seconds from Palantir. 34 seconds. All right, so we've got all the time here. I think we need that. I don't know how to input the code, though. Like, when do you do it? Do you have to do it at the start of the game? So Balrog is... Or not Balrog. The Ent mode is not happening. There's a lock shot. But we do have another mode start. What do we want? We don't want warg battle. Yeah, we do want warg battle. Did not happen as expected. Oh my gosh. Face the entrance and speak French. Oh my god, it's going to make me play the third ball on this. There it is. All right, warg battle. So we're going to hit Legolas. Nope. Now we're just going to hit Sam. Nope. Oh, yeah. God. Gotta love this game. So great. So great. So great. Oh, that was good. Hey, there's Sam right out of the gate. Love it. Or the ants on the fly. Totally did it. We collected Boromir somehow. I don't exactly know. Oh, I think we hit Palantir. Like, we graved it on that. There we go. Got it. Oh, that indictment. I'm so sorry. I wasn't even thinking about it. We should definitely flipper code, though. Find... I... really struggle with that shot, but I don't with that shot. Left orbit is easy. Finding Gandalf, I just don't know where it is on the flipper. But there's one. What? Got it! Chloramere? More like Boromere. Thank you, Aogden! Thank you, Aogden! That mode is Dunzo, not Funzo. I thought I got the extra time on it. All right, now, of course, it's stopping up there as opposed to going through. I believe that's ball lock number one. I think we've got to be getting close to Return of the King. We're not there yet, though. All right, ball lock is lit. We need Gandalf and Gimli. Missed Gimli by a hair, but we did get a lock out of that one, which was kind of fun. So let's go for Gimli. I'm not going to give it to me. That's scary. All right, good. All right. Let's see if we can grab a mode start. I think it's going to give it to us. And then I think we're ready on our right ramp. Got it. Thank you. This is great. This is great. We're going to make it through this mode so quick. It's going to hurt. All right, this is good. This is good. This is good. All right, what do we have here? All right, all right. Hey, Wolfman, welcome to the stream. All right, we got the extra ball. Man, two towers. We must have been so freaking close. All right. What do we need now? We need Gimli so we can hit that. extra ball shot oh my god hit there thank you that's going to be dimly and an extra ball which is fantastic we absolutely needed that We also need some more pops, or we need to get spotted a character. Wolfman, how's life treating you? Oh, man, we just need Gandalf. We got Boromir. All right, so we've got Fellowship lit. Well, that was fun. All right, moving on. What ball are we on? Is it still two? No, ball one. Okay. So Golem multiball is lit. We've also got a lock. Oh, and we've got a mode start. Let's do that. There we go Mode start It going to kick it down Oh no it not It dropped it That great Oh, my God. Just hit the left orbit. I can find that left orbit shot. But we do have another mode start lit, which is great. All right, nice and patient. We're going to hit whatever that was. Oh, my God, hit. There it is. There it is. Crisco brought up all the LEs. Oh, bought up. CNK. Oh, no. Oh, perfect. It started the mode and then we went into fellowship. Perfectly. So what mode are we in right now? So we can get that at a ball with Palantir. Crap. I don't know what happened. Were we still in Gandalf vs. Thor? Oh my god, and now we start Return to the King, which is fantastic. All right, hit a shot. It's fine, we're going to hit this. No, we're not. Oh my gosh. That went over... Yeah, exactly. Eh. I have one. I'm fine with that. Ugh. All right, so we have to destroy the ring, which we have yet to do even once tonight. There's one. There's that. Hey, Razor, have a great night. I do love the feel of these slippers. Is 2003 better or worse than the newer stuff? CNK actually preferred the newer stuff. these flippers in general are very soft right like uh the the more you oh my god thank you all right we got we got one last game in us here tonight regardless of how long it takes this is it and then i don't know if we're gonna be playing lord of the rings anymore like this is it's when when you get going on this game it can be a lot of fun otherwise it's really not fun. At all. At all. Alright, so we collected Boromir. Floromir. Alright, I don't know what we just started. four at the end perfect that works got it got it so there's two four more 20 seconds left. That was three. We are halfway there. Three more shots. Ah. Ah. Zero ball save. Well, this is going to be tough. I guess let's grab... Oh, no. That right flipper is struggling. All right. All right, so we got Mary, Sam, and Aragorn left. That went right in there. That's fine. That's fine. Okay, we got Sam. All right, so now we need Mary, which is right orbit. That's it. Got it. Okay. Hey, somebody just... 27 raiders have joined us from Frisco. Frisco, I heard you bought up all the LEs. On that note, Eligos, welcome. Captain Spam, welcome. Frisco, you are going to get a hat off. Thank you so much and welcome. He's going to get me to the back room. I've got a pen to clean. Self-processing. I am so glad you're bringing us with you. All right. We said we were only going to do one more game. Regardless of how much... Frisco, the Lord of the Rings is frustrating. It's a great game. I understand it's a great game. And I understand that a lot of people think it's a great game. God, this... this can be awful. You... okay, got it. You bought up all the LEs, I heard. That did not quite get up there. Oh my god! Why? Why? Why? It's like a heart attack. I just got to make knowing that you'd be so proud of me, right? There's one. If it just gets out, I'm back now. Okay. Okay. Good night. That works out well for me. I'll take that. All right, so we're at three on the end, so we need three more. We are halfway there. Trying not to have a heart attack here. There we go. There's four. Twelve seconds left. I need two more. Did she put new life insurance out on you or something? Exactly. Like, what is the point there? Five. All right. One more. One more. We got to hit this one right off the floor. Like, it's just, we just got to hit it. One shot. One shot, George. One opportunity. Got it. Wow, we added ten seconds by hitting Palantir. Extended it. We completed. We got a gift from the elves. I will take it. Mom's spaghetti. He's nervous. All right, we've got a lock shot. Do we need Aragorn? Yes. Lock shot and Aragorn, two and one. We need Pippin on this left orbit. Still trying to recover from being scared horribly with somebody just talking in my ear. That was awful. Okay, I'll take that. Super ring frenzy. Now we need Sam, Gimli, and Legolas. We also got a lock shot. whatever we got one gift from the elves I will take one gift all the way around we need Legolas and Sam There we go. That's them. Now we've got the Fellowship, and we've got Return of the King lid. What do we want here? I think we want Escape. Find the shot, man. Come on. That should not be so freaking hard. All right, all right. Dustable, welcome. Okay. Oh, we didn't start the mode. Darn it. All right, so here we are in fellowship. not going to get that one back or that so that was fun that was that was horrific what we needed to do was hit the guy in the middle and then hit one of the two ramp shots guy in the middle you just do that and you walk every or eight of the nine people over that are a part of the party. God, that sucked. Okay, so now we need to start it all over again. We've still got mode lit. Hit it perfectly. It just didn't capture it. All right, we're in Golem multiball. We can still start a mode. There we go. And we've got ball two locked. Somebody just a decibel. Just subscribe with Prime. I don't know why it suddenly thinks that that's great. It's doing things. You never lost me, Mom. Yeah, that was rough. And now we're in Return of the King multiball, right on the back of that. Oh my god! All right, so we're going to try and destroy the ring. There's one shot. So it's four shots to destroy the ring here. I'm going to try and hit this right ramp. No. Bubba Fink, the only sax solo that matters is from the Lost Boys. or what we're listening to right now is the sexy sax from The Midnight. Oh, my God. There's still another ball. We have failed on everything possible. So we can start another mode. Cry Little Sister. I feel like that's another sexy saxophone thing. Attack of Shalob looks good. All right. We're doing good there. We need now Gimli and Aragorn. Attack of Shalob. Now we need Gandalf. Crap, now we need Gimli. Yeah! Did we just complete that mode? Okay, whatever. We got another gift. That's weird. What are we close to? I don't think we're really close to anything. And we've got all of these modes, so we can hit... Nothing. Nothing. We also leveled up during that process, which was fun. Baker Street is from the 70s. Sack solos from the 70s are way better than from the 80s. If you say so. True story. Baker Street is a bit old school, but an excellent sack solo. I do also enjoy the Boopetters version of Baker Street. What are you close to? Ending the ball? Exactly, yeah. Kirk Hobbs, that was a struggle. I hope you can see, based on the elevated heart rate right now, that that was wonderfully frustrating. No, I think we're good. Let's go find someone to send this. Oh, my God, Decibel. Oh, I already said thank you very much, by the way. I don't know if I had stopped you, but Decibel, you're getting another one. Thank you so much for that subscription. You've been subscribed for two months. You are fantastic. Thank you. We're going to line up on a different game Because I love Lord of the Rings Just absolutely love every second of playing it But we're still going to play a different game That's a full One more game Done, actually That's all I needed Was somebody to say one more game once We just got to find all of the shots There we go Now we're in War of the Ents Let's hit Palantir. Darn it. Palantir. There we go. We got Palantir, so we're up to 28, and I got our first, so we need five more of those. Who was it that got fixed at Colfax where you got, like, 20 of me? I don't know that I've ever played at Colfax. Me? Oh, Death of Fall and Meta Knightment. Okay. Not me. Not me. I'm good. Ugh. Ugh. All right. Drained, and we did not do Ents. And Ents was a great way to get towards whatever the name of that is. Return of the King. So let's just focus on completing our three multiballs. We do have a lock shot there. Beautiful. And we got Aragorn. What do we need here? We do need Pippin. Got it. Feeling good about that. Sam Legolas. Got it. Gimli. Gimli. Gimli was collected. and now we've got Sam. Beautiful. So now get a lock here. Fellowship. We did not start the mode. Darn it. What just happened? How did that fourth ball come out? darn it we're gonna get this it's fine that's fine got it all right we're gonna go Frodo oh no there it is now we're gonna backhand the right ramp. Got it. Whatever. We got Pippen across. And ball two locked. So when we get Back into Fellowship. I don't think we have to try too hard to try and complete that. All right. So now we've got a mode start ready. Oh, we already had it ready. So let's hit Pippin. We got the hold ring bonus. And now we're ready for Mary, which is on the other side. Let's go right orbit. I don't know how that didn't. Like, it's the most sensitive Tilt Bob ever. silly question what pin are you going to play for stream six ones from now spud killer i have i have no idea what a great question though this game hates me like that flipped over the flipper um spud killer how about foo fighters All right, mode start. Did not quite get there. Now struggling to make it up there. That's going right down the middle. that's good that's good that's good I'm I'm I'm happy with where we're leaving this which is over here in the corner uh we're gonna we're gonna go play some Jurassic Park tomorrow right just to just to to get the happiness with pinball back up there you guys thank you so much for hanging out tonight uh oh my gosh Hottie, thank you so much for the raid. Let's go find someone fun to go raid, preferably in the pinball section, but if not, we'll find somebody fun regardless. Self-processing, Meta Knightmen, Spud Killer, Frisco, Deathable. I'm trying to think of who else here is. Kirk Hobbs and a lot of other people. Y'all have a fantastic evening. I've got to be up and going at 8 a.m. tomorrow. Okay, I have to be up a lot earlier than that, but I have to be, I get to run something here at 8 a.m. tomorrow. That was the hackathon at work. Well, it's a 15-minute check-in. Whatever. The more I say it out loud, the more I'm like, actually, it's not a significant amount of work at this point. I did all my work up front. Yes. And you, too, have a great night, you guys. We'll see you later. Are you familiar with the Pinball Network? If you're not, maybe if you just give me a moment to speak directly to you about what the Pinball Network is and what it could mean to you. The Pinball Network is a collection of content creators across multiple media. It's YouTube, that is podcasting, that is Twitch streams. Okay, I'm talking to you. And they do it out of the goodness of their beings, out of the goodness of their souls, out of the goodness of pinball, to further pinball as a hobby and the community. That is the reason they do the things they do. They do it for you. So if you're not familiar with the Pinball Network, you should be. I suggest you check out all of those people who are part of the network. You should give each of them a follow. If what you're interested in is soul-enriching pinball-related content. Thank you.
