TL;DR

IE Pinball gameplay stream of Hobbit Standard Edition v2.0 with focus on mechanics and Beast Frenzy cancellation feature.

Summary

IE Pinball streams extended gameplay of The Hobbit (Standard Edition) v2.0 from Jersey Jack Pinball, showcasing new features including the ability to cancel Beast Frenzy during multiball via ring button. The host plays multiple games while discussing rule nuances, mode structure, and game setup (post removal, flipper strength adjustments). Focus is on demonstrating gameplay mechanics rather than evaluating the update itself.

Key Claims

  • The main rule change in v2.0 is the ability to cancel Beast Frenzy while in Smaug multiball by hitting the ring button to end the multiball after collecting a Beast Super Jackpot

    high confidence · IE Pinball directly states this feature addition when discussing release notes midway through stream

  • The Hobbit Standard Edition plays significantly harder/faster with center post removed and posts at furthest point setting

    high confidence · Host repeatedly notes difficult playability with this setup configuration, mentions earlier setup was 'so hard earlier and it was just no fun to play'

  • There is no coding in the game that differentiates upper flipper usage from lower flippers (e.g., Smaug can be killed using only lower flippers)

    medium confidence · Host states: 'There is nothing in there the coding that lets the game know you're using the upper flippers. You can kill Smaug with the lower flippers if you care to.'

  • Mode locks require spelling 'LOCK' twice (pulsing red and green), then all four lock shots must be completed to light mode lock on orbits

    high confidence · Host explains locking mechanism in response to viewer question about mode lock lighting

  • The host has not experienced any lighting problems on this specific machine and describes it as having been 'perfect' except for voltage issues affecting coil performance

    medium confidence · Host: 'I have not had any problems with the lighting on this game. It's never locked on. This game has been perfect for me.'

And they suddenly got very quiet. This will be The Hobbit 2.0 from Jersey Jack. Thanks for tuning in. Let me know how the audio and video is looking, as always.
0:15
I have not played a single game on this yet, so we'll see what it looks like. I read through the release notes. I should have pulled the release notes up here. That's what I forgot to do. But here's the Yes Here's the game Oh darn That went full screen on my chat window And switched that Okay So yeah this game is set up with the posts At their furthest point The center post is removed and it just plays fast and mean In general And here's one of the new attack modes I've noticed Kickback is not disabled And lightning flippers are not installed I had this game set up so hard earlier And it was just no fun to play to be honest So this lets me get at least a little bit Into the game Into the fire Most of the time Barrel escape Sometimes Battle of the Fire Armies Rarely And I think that's how it should be set up Alright Alright, let's take a look at this.
1:28
I don't know how much I'm going to talk over the game, or how much I'm going to detail what I should be doing, but let's just play through it.
1:35
And see how it goes. Just let me know about the audio. I'm pulling the direct audio out of the game, plus this microphone. Hopefully the balance is okay, so you can hear both.
1:48
And hopefully the kids aren't too loud behind me. Alright, let's see how this is. This Hobbit does play fairly mean, so don't be surprised at some very short games.
2:12
And normally doesn't do that. Okay, so one of the things I like to do is get the Radagast modes done. So I've got Dol Guadurulet, so I'm going to go for that. I forget all the paths you can take with the mode bonuses, but I remember most of the Radagast modes are early on, if I remember. Oh, and for those that don't know, that, ah, yes, I got it. Okay. So I want to point something out that I just did, which you saw the ball go through the bumpers on the right-hand side here. that lights the captain ball for a kickback and those kickbacks are so important especially in this specific Hobbit so I'm going to try to actually finish some of those see what we do I doubt I'll finish all of them of course there are so many so widely varied and some are very difficult to finish when you get to these last couple targets this one in particular I'm not even paying attention to the time Probably ran out didn't I Let's see can I see Oh did I cancel out I can't see 80% of the mode And that one had a feeder mode that I missed Game Could go up a little more game Okay let me see if I can do that A little more game Alright the game has been turned up Let me know how that sounds.
3:49
Alright, I'm going to keep going for Radagast modes. Like I said, that was not the one I wanted, really.
3:56
That never does that. You know, I could turn down my voice, too. Maybe that would be better. Alright, Radagast. This is the best spider. I got my first lock lit.
4:31
Okay, this should be a shoot the ratty guy's hole to finish the mode. And that's the mode. First thing towards the Argonstone modes. complete. One of the things I want to do now is I'd like to start Beast Frenzy before I even go very far in the game, just to get it out of the way. Game volume is still a little low. Let me turn down my volume. Let's try that. Alright, I turned down my volume now. Let me know how that is. Alright, so I'm going to skip, let's see what I'm going to do here. I'd like to skip both the lock and the mode, but I can only hit the button once I'll hit the button close with the lock try and shoot orbit to build up the ring again because I want to get this orc here to start them I don't really want gathering in the clouds right now This thing is nasty! Uh oh. Alright, there's a boat log, we'll just do that while I'm here. Uh, Pokemon mode. Let's see. Orc! Missed the orc! I must have grazed it. Alright, so the point here is just to get this out of the way, kind of. I mean, it's worth points, I'm not saying you shouldn't play this, but. I'm not saying you should play this, but. Alright, so the point here is just to get Seth away, kind of. I mean, it's worth points, I'm not saying you shouldn't play this, but...
5:52
Okay, volume still low after I drop my voice, or is that Seth low? I want to boatlock right now, so I can wait for him to drop. Spider in particular. I missed. Man, completely failed there. Complete failure. And I don't care about the beast now. You know, one thing I'm going to have to look into is an amplifier of some sort for the I look into is an amplifier of some sort for in between my receiver and my... Wait, no, I'm going USB, so I think I figured out something with audio.
6:56
I've been having trouble getting a proper balance. Alright, got a mode lock here. I've got tons of modes available now. If I haven't picked up Gandalf so I can't change the modes yet with the ramp I just hit one right there and that's it. I think I'll do it in another mode lock while they're lit. I mean they'll stay lit. I was like, they're going to go away. I need to memorize the map of the modes to see what modes are needed and what I just don't remember them. I remember them.
7:41
I guarantee Carl's a big may sail. I like that. This one's... I'm holding onto this for a little bit. I'm being stubborn with it.
7:56
Alright. What do I want to do here? Some things I could do. You know, just getting the smile. All right, mode locks. Mode locks, like right now I have my locks lit. And you see I've got the locks are pulsing a red and green.
8:24
So once I get all four of those, I've got one to O right now. Once I get the other ones, that will light the mode lock and shoot it on the orbit. and then next time I play my mode, however many balls I block, I get the multi-ball in that mode. There's no multiplier on the score. It's just an advantage of getting multiple balls. Once you finish the mode, or once the mode is over, then you get to play Treasure Hunt, where you can earn the points you earned in the multi-balls by hitting various shots.
8:57
Here's another thing about the mod locks. If I take that lock right now, that will take away my mode lock, I believe.
9:03
It's in the hardest of the blocks. But I'm going to still play it. I'll play Smaug right now, and what that will do is when I start a mode, it's almost like an extended atom bomb. It'll give me all those walls that I've locked.
9:23
I don't know what's replacing Iron Man yet. I really am jonesing for Total Nuclear Annihilation. so I made this hold on to that hold on the cash you see my boat locks are still available I know they were still lips
9:40
and you can see I've already drained out one of my balls so I really want to start a boat which would give me a whole bunch of balls back I don't remember this boat on top of my head, so I'm just going to flail around.
10:08
And then I just saw a Ball Save light there. I don't know what that was for. I started a... I started a Dwarf Rhyme, it looks like. Or a which hit me with good points. It's a... The switch hits build up the volume.
10:30
And it can build up very high. I mean, it's actually worthwhile to shoot for. Wow, that was a huge team fall out of the... up there.
10:45
That's bad. all right I'm not looking up at the mode I can't see it I obviously didn't beat it no I didn't do any feeder modes with it so value it's not there on this but the red shots you see those are the those are the treasure hunting I'm typing out my fourth like these prints right now which isn't as far idea because my value every shot is 7600 right now. Which is big!
11:24
I have a kickback lit so I'm not going to be too concerned about getting in the bumpers. When my kickback is lit I'm really trying to hit the bumpers and have them come down. So now I need the flaming trunks, flaming arrows to advance a small bit further. I'm out of the feast frenzy
11:41
And the way I can go I cannot start another boat because I was in the multi ball So I'm gonna have treasure hunt until I drain down the one ball
11:52
Yeah, the audio is clipping on some of the multiple that that's right in considering how it's pretty much maxed out now
12:02
You know, it's right down a bit I don't want to hear Cleveland clipping Alright, I just dropped it a bit, so let me know. I test and I test, but there's only so much... It seems like what I record doesn't sound the same live on the stream. Alright. Wow, that was not the cradle separation I was hoping for. and I was hoping for.
12:45
Alright, left over is one of two. Well, I heard that little clipping there on the actual audio, and that was on the speakers here, so maybe that's a little what you're hearing. Yeah, multiple does increase the audio level here, that's right
13:32
Yeah, this is coming out of the headphone jack in the main part of the game Oh, what the... look at that!
14:05
I'm looking for that one. There we go. I have to bump that coil up. Alright, uh... let's go with the bobble. This balla. The balla from the backhand is probably pretty safe with my attention to the balla.
14:30
That's good, I saved the... saved it from using that valuable kickback. Oh, my voice is a little... My feed is in the... the boopage. Whoa, that's probably really loud.
14:45
Alright. I think I'll stop fiddling with it after that. Alright, with the Orbits. To get the Orbit, all you have to do is just kiss the spinner. You don't have to actually make the Orbit. Alright, Left Ramp. Oops, oops, oops. Oops, oops. Oh, I started a... Well, I started a beast. So, here's what's going to happen now. I'm going to start another beast, Princey. All right. So, I'm going to be trying to cancel out... Anytime I hear a super jackpot call out... Anytime I hear a super jackpot call out, I'm probably gonna slam my hand on the button to try and cancel out the...
15:49
the... oh, that was bad. Oh well. Oh, I would have slammed it down to cancel out the... the beast of the fire.
16:01
The mistens of the fire. I like the back end. The kickback is on default right now. Everything should be factory.
16:17
Oh boy. Ah, that's a nice way to get in there. Let's see, I have not updated my wand yet. Wanted to do this first and then I'll start stringing that once I've done this. Wait, I gotta take a look at that kicker.
16:38
The voltages here at home are a little low right now thanks to the extreme heat. They haven't been that bad here. A little hotter than usual. Oh boy. Four cradle separations here. What I'd really like, I really want an anaphol, I mean not an anaphol, a, I want a kickback for the veil. I'm hoping to get involved into those bumpers and then have it go down the right way, the
17:17
right side of the upper flipper so I can get the captain involved. Kick back, lighten kick back. But for right now I'm just going to try and get a piece of those, I guess. Jackalack, my tramp, which isn't going to make it with that flipper because my power is low. There we go. Alright.
17:39
Hit some orbs. Hit drop targets, hit orbs. Missed orbs, I mean. Missed orbs.
17:51
Wow. Alright. There is nothing in the coding that lets the game know you're using the upper flippers. You can kill Smaug with the lower flippers if you care to.
18:18
Alright, how many more here? I can now see because on the book he's at the stats. Just very nice, oh jeez. Very nice, oh go down the red line now.
18:33
Alright. Nope, that's not... Oh, there is a grace period! Nope. Just, probably just outside of it. Alright.
18:51
So, I failed into the fire. Let's do a mode lock since it's available. And I'm almost in the air for it. It's on the upper right hand side of the screen.
19:03
No grace period now. Let's see, evil review. This should be fixed now. Oh, am I getting out of all of my hitpicks? Speak. Speak! Okay, now I want to hit the beasts. Since I've played two, they're a little harder to light. Just a little, not too bad. Oh, rob that other ratty-ass ball.
19:39
Come on. I don't know what it was. I don't know. I used that upper flipper more to get the ball out of the way.
19:56
It's very helpful there. Oh come on, go in there, hole! That's tight, that was a nice... That's not the left ramp, and that's drain, that's the end of it. Alright, end of the wall to go almost. I'm barely making it right now. I don't know if I can finish this. It's one of those modes that I think is short but it's actually pretty long. Yeah, I'm on the wargates now. And I didn't want that lock yet.
20:56
That took away my load lock possibility. But what I do want is I want the right orbit to get the orc, so the right orbit will light the orc, the left orbit lights goblin, so I want the right orbit light orc, hit the orc, start to beast frenzy. And I started a spinner, a super spinner. And that's a sticky lock back there. It fell
21:25
in. If you play a super spinner during beast frenzy, when you collect it, it's worth double.
21:39
Oh, I just got robbed there. I have to hit switches to recharge rings, so I can't do what I wanted to do. I'm just going to try to defend this opponent.
21:50
Oh, wonderful. Wow, these clips are really quick right now. Come on. Yeah, this is low voltage. Orc, get the orc. Let's kick back right there if I can hit it. Orc, time's out. Did I? Nope, I just missed. That's the... or no, that's the icon. Ah, nice, I got the piece of frenzy already. I'm pretty frenzy already.
22:48
That's the order. That's the order. Shoot any elk. I need a great line of line. Come on. Let's see. What's the help drum going to do? Come on. I will be bumping that coil up. Darn the power. Darn the voltage. Never does this. I mean never. I just got robbed out of my target. There we go.
23:45
Alright. Oh, the backhand's not going to work. I need to remember that. Time. Not only give me five seconds, it's perfect.
24:10
Any more dwarves? Another orc. Oh, did I get it? I did. Alright. So now I need to qualify, I believe, as a smough. Alright.
24:24
Let's go for that. Oh, gosh. That is good. Get on my nerves right now. I'll be able to make that, so... Oh. It's like somewhat slower because of it too. How do you choose to die? Oh boy, oh, I almost had the moonwalk there. Which is not an uncommon occurrence in this game. This thing is gonna kill me. Pop it up! Come on!
25:04
I love that it's going into ball search. There we go. I've never seen that in this game before. It's normally perfect. No! Alright.
25:26
Oh, that was loud. Oh my gosh. We lost the music there. That wasn't it. Alright. One lock target is all I need here. That was not the lock target I needed. That was. I'm going to go to the right. Doing that, so I'll have a lock loop. Did I do the sneaky lock loop?
25:56
See, I forget how many sneaky locks I have, or how many boat locks. Okay, I did want that one. That was good.
26:02
Alright, lock. Down, down, down. Shoot the lock. Barrel of Skip will be ready when I come out of this whole thing.
26:18
Yeah, I wonder why they didn't shoot the end. And also, you wouldn't have the moon locks if the ramps went to the outer.
26:26
The ball is already gone. Yeah, it's not fair. Uh, this is the final shot here. Well, maybe we can kill some out here. On the next multiple. An extra ball.
27:07
I have not had any problems with the lighting on this game. It's never locked on. This game has been perfect for me.
27:15
Except for the... the UK right now. For whatever reason. Oh, I know why. The power drain I'm having right here, right now.
27:27
I bet my live ult is something I'll insert right now. Alright, so... If there's a shot, I'm going to change it.
27:44
Come on, I'm kicking. I'm going to mess it around. Um, Captain Ball rotates the up card since the E is so hard to hit. Captain Ball, uh, maybe I can hit the, uh, or not.
28:17
I can't hit that. Oh gosh, now I'm not happy. Not plenty anymore. There we go. Six orcs. This used to be a buff one. I think it was ten.
28:42
I have never finished this mode. Back stabs are two. Let's see if we can make some, uh, super power.
29:07
I want the back stab. There we go. I'm sorry. Ah, nice. Ah, no. Ah, it's horrible. Extra ball! I'm sorry, the bow. What are we doing? I should have a, uh... I have an arrow. I have a... arrow. Nope! I lost my arrow.
30:01
Uh, oh, got it. I left the loop. Come on. There it goes. Come on, hit targets. Come on, hit each other. Oh, that was dumb. I need to do it slow hard. Right loop, left loop, bad. I not going to finish this game I not going to finish this game All right
30:53
One lock should be if I hit the 1L, I think. Yep. Ah, that's not it. It's Orbit. Shoot hard enough too.
31:22
Ah, this is weird. Sorry about this. This is what happens when you don't play a game before you start the stream. Alright, the mode right now is Debates. I do not want Debates. I absolutely do not want to... okay there's this mode, this mode, can't be worth major points.
31:48
Let me get the lock so I can start working towards the next one. Ah, I changed my mode. I actually want that mode, so I will switch over to it now.
31:57
It's one of the easier ones to finish. I need a boat. Oh, that was bad, bad. That was all my fault. All my fault.
32:50
It's funny, I have such a hard time remembering all the modes, because there's so many modes. So let's just get an easy one here. Uh, they have some...
33:02
Oh, this is worth a lot of points. Ah! Or it can't be, if it's executed properly. So, just shoot the spinners.
33:16
Or bring stuff in, or do something. Good idea. don't let the timer run out. Go! Run you Power... Power, more power, there we go. Oh, what was that? What was that?
33:55
Wrong. I don't know why I did that. Uh-oh. No, I can't backhand right now, so I'm trying to pass it over to the front.
34:09
I'm pretty close to getting my next... My next taste frenzy. That's the word I'm looking for. Oh, these backhands are not working.
34:27
I'm going to be digesting a lot of stuff in the menus after this game. Oh yeah. No, that's not where I want it. One ring, that's the easy one. There we go. One ring. Come back in the right side. Yes, okay. Double muds for you. Ooh. I missed. Not worth the muds. Or not worth the muds. Would have gotten 3200. Okay, what do I need here? I need spinner. I need everything in the boat. So this could be my last lock for some hour. I have wristbands. And the spider was what I needed. Well, I'll get it during the spawning, I'm sure. Well, I shouldn't be so sure, but most likely that'll happen.
35:56
Alright, so I'm on the final mode here, so I'm going to... Gonna spam. One target! No, he didn't give it to me.
36:18
Missed. I don't want that spider right now. Right at the end. All I'm trying to do is hit the, at this stage, hit the targets over there.
36:44
And then shoot the ramp and try and kill some out. With all these balls cradled, the river is kind of hard. I didn't need all the bombs in the game. Alright, go away, go away. Come on! I'm trying to cheat. I missed. Missed, missed, missed.
37:25
Oh boy, oh boy. I'm having trouble. Oh, kick back, I love, I'll always take a kick back shot. I have boat luck too.
37:55
Alright. Only two bombs should be okay. Just hit one target. Just that one. Big O. This owl is dead.
38:25
At this point, I'm just going to go down the way I'm crazy. That's just silly. Now I can create one.
38:55
Oh, waste of a kickback. Alright, um, it's victory lapsed. I still need the beast, so I need the spider. It's on the side with all my balls. Let's just play low. And this is not the most...oh, spider! Alright, there's the spider. sure let's go down here don't rain all the ball battle time armies
39:54
Oh, there's that one. All right. Oh, what was that? That was bad too. I really wanted I don't really want to play it, apparently.
40:27
Hey, hey! Alright. Alright, Battle of the Five Armies. Dash 10 beats. Warp lights 3X, Jack. Elf lights 5X.
40:45
Come on, have a job. Yeah, we lose them all right there. Money! Yeah, this is not a state-of-the-art wheel, actually.
41:41
20 beasts. This is not beasts. This is kind of a 10-point business. It's not that cute. I think it is.
41:51
Oh, I forgot I had an extra ball. I should have looked at the boss. Okay, so we're back in square one now.
42:26
I actually wanted to get to the next stage in Battle of Fire Marble. It's very peaceful music. I should really like it a lot.
42:38
Maybe next time. What is it? Alright, so let's... I am increasing... Strengthen these flippers. And I'm going to leave K after this. Okay.
42:56
So they can not stand up and eat everything I turned into. Oh my gosh. That's horrible. Alright. So that's one game.
43:16
One game. How long was that? That was a longer game. jeez okay I can't believe I missed that golem save that's horrible alright let's up a couple of these settings here uh settings coil settings uh flipper I already have it low so I'm going to bump everything up too right now upright's fine and then we need the right the radagast vuk to bump that up normally. What's the factory? Oh, I already had that up. Fine. Alright, let's just do that. Hopefully that will be enough.
43:59
Alright. Any questions? Let me go get some water. It's kind of hot in here. . . . rule changes with this. Maybe I can pull up the release notes. But there's not much different from the last prototype version that was out.
44:59
In that, Keith added the ability to cancel or the main thing was to cancel Beast Frenzy while you're in that multi-ball. So if you're in Smaug and Beast Frenzy, once you get the Beast Super Jackpot, you can hit the ring button to end that multi-ball.
45:17
So that was needed. Oh no, I turned that off. Thank you. Now I'm back. Ran out of battery. Go figure. Just at the right time.
47:26
All right. Let's see. Can you explain how to light mode locked balls? Okay. So after you spell lock, once you spell lock again, they'll kind of flash green and red.
47:40
Once you get all four of those, then it lights the mode locks on the orbits. So shoot the orbit and you get it. after you play one Smag Multi-Ball, it gets harder, so you have to light a lock and light your mode lock before you shoot the lock. If you shoot the lock, you lose your opportunity to get the mode lock. It resets those for your next Smag lock, since you can't stack them like the first one.
48:09
And that answered that question, too, I think. What are you going to do now? Here we go. Let's do a little bit of this.
48:26
That last game wasn't horrible. Two ball game. So you can see I have a mode lock already to go for this, since the first round is easy to get. It lights it at the same time as the regular lock. Ah, first try there. Much better than Renegades. Alright. So now I just lit my second, my second smog lock and the second mode lock that I have So maybe I'll play for, since I lost my first ball, make this a points game. So I'm going to try and max out my mode locks, and I want to play, um, the Sauron mode. Name them now. Uh, Resurgence of Sauron. See how much I can give them. I actually want them. The idea is to stack everything possible with that mode, because it's a switch hits increase the value.
50:09
No. Okay, that's fine. That's okay. I also want to get to um, airport. Because that will increase the uh,
50:24
bonus points to the boat. Why did I use that move? Why did I do that? I just need C for another Mothok. And I went over it and it didn't reach. That C is the one on this game that doesn't always get hit. I hear your breath.
51:19
Hi there. What's that? I know, I saw the fly around here somewhere. Me too. I missed my mode. So, if you didn't notice, shooting the left ramp when book is lit, that lets you change your mode. And I want the one just above this one. Two hexagons above it.
51:45
The star on it. I just want to have it ready to go. And that's my last mode lock. I'll go for that. And this is just since I'm going for I'm going to use my multi-ball to bring in another. I get five balls on this. Bingo, five ball.
52:34
So what I want to be shooting for here is the spinner, because they build the value the fastest. But having all these balls around is really gonna help build this value. You can see it's at 5,000 right now. So every time I shoot the left ram, I'll pump a four down. I'm gonna use that.
52:53
I'll use my, well I was gonna say I'll use my spackle as well as a, ball bait. All right. So the only key here is to make sure that the timer does not expire.
53:06
And if I get the B, that I don't get in trouble. That's all the balls go out that way. We're down to the center.
53:21
My value is at 22,000 for 36,000. No, no, no. 13,900 when I got the B. shoot this one, left-handed. Huge points. Huge points. Now I can keep up with this stuff,
53:36
I mean I've got plenty of time. That's the end of it. So I got 78,000 for that and an additional 39,000 for the bonus points since I had finished one round of airborne. So now I'd really like to add my beast to the phone call here, because if I hit all the treasure hunt shots I get 78,000 points, so those are all the red shots.
54:09
That's all I have to say. Jackpot! Just forget about the atom bomb. Whatever reason, forget that the mystery target gave me an atom bomb. Or I never think about it. Alright. So what's that, right ramp? Right orbit. And that just reported me 78,000. Yes, I'm at 8,825 and I'm at Erebor again.
54:54
I really want the spider. Alright, got an atom ball there. Well, not an atom ball, boss. Not yet. I'm not even going for a spider. Because my treasure hunt hurts so many points.
55:13
Oh, not going to give it back, are you? Failed kickback, but in single ball play, that would come back. In multi-ball, it doesn't.
55:23
All right, I still need Beast. Let's watch Beast fail that alley pass. Or get the alley pass and not have it go all the way up.
55:35
Okay, that's two now. Let's see, how many times has it been? Probably need to give it a little bump. There's a, yeah, there's two different rails there under this plastic. There we go. Alright, this is going to be easy.
56:05
So things I want to make sure I don't do. I don't want to pull in another beast. But it doesn't matter. Alright. Backhand it. The ball doesn't count. Alright.
56:35
So there you're trying to hit all the green shots. I think it was green, right? And it just kind of, for me, it just kind of pulls together. It completes itself, that first stage. This one I can even bail easier on, as you can see. I can completely screw this up. I'm going to need to see what I'm doing. Oh, no. We've got two more to let us go.
57:46
No, that's going to do it. No, no. Too late. Horrible on those Arkansas modes, sorry about that. Gosh! It gets moving, it gets moving. Um... Got a mode lock, but I've also got the one ring lit, so I'm gonna play that mode just so I can have a mode completed for this round.
58:18
Single shot mode. Press the ring button. Ooh, action time. This is crazy mode. Doesn't give me more points for it. It's not time mode, so... Oh. Ooh.
58:43
Alright. I love it. Alright. Probably just one more game in here. Oh, that's a nice effect. That's new.
59:11
Yeah, just a lot of polish on this. for the release. And some bug fixes, so it looks like. Primarily.
59:20
Alright. Most likely the last game, unless it's a very short one. I'm going to go for that D. Way too short.
59:52
That should be a skill shot, though. Slinging the Radagast. And I missed it there. I don't know restart ladies that was only for only for the Ironman challenge no restart
60:35
there's a big console If there's anything anybody wants to see, if you want me to play a specific mode, I
61:05
will do my best to actually pull it up. If there's something you haven't seen before, I do my best to complete it although it doesn look like I doing that very well right now
61:33
Jackpot! Yeah, that's a horrible knife. He says we'll blunt the knives! I'm safe! Jackpot!
61:57
I smell you. Jackpot! Alright, let's see if we can cancel that new feature if I get that far. So every time I hear Super Jackpot, I'm going to slam down the button.
62:14
Just trying to get rid of the beast frenzy. Make it finish! Come on. Jackpot! Alright, let's see the beast right there.
63:01
Ah, beast. I'm in super spinner since I was in beast apparently and even though I cancelled it out I have a 2x collect from my spinner, my super spinner. My super spinner.
63:30
But since I wasn't in Beast it probably went away. Let's... I guess I'm going to go with that one. I'm tied to that button.
63:47
I got like a pop for it. Uhhhh... 28.6. Jackpot! Are you in the floor? It's nothing from me. Oh, it's my, uh... Uh, I had to do that. It's the, uh...
64:12
It was a kickback, but I had to do it. Had to do it. Alright, um... Ram. I will show you the pass! Jackpot!
64:30
You will take nothing from me. Yeah, that's bad. Jackpot! I haven't finished the board yet. That's horrible.
64:52
Hey, thanks, Buffalo Pitbull for the host. debate. I have completed the debate. I have. I have. It's very difficult. You have to be in a multiball or you will not do it most likely. And I am not playing it right now because I'm not in a multiball.
65:08
Feet is freezing a bit. I think my family went upstairs and they have started to watch Netflix, which is a problem. I think I can do something else about this. Give me a moment. I'm going to turn off some other stuff in the house.
65:32
Let's see here. Let's see if that will help a little. Give her this. I forgot to turn off the cameras here.
65:45
Yeah, I can hear the Netflix upstairs. Darn them! Okay. And I'm on a hardwired connection here, so it should be. Evil reveal, evil reveal. I really can't remember. Let's just play it. Right, hold. Five extra seconds.
66:11
I'm also holding up the flipper. Sometimes you can kind of push it into the drop-down, if you need it.
66:21
It's like trap a... Except when it's fast like that. It's the war. Another war. And this is the war. My connection here is a good solid 6 megabits and I have the bitrate at 2800 I think.
66:58
It's been pretty good overall. Keep going! That first day I streamed Iron Man I was, uh, I stayed on WiFi for some reason. I forgot about it. Here we go. Maybe I can do it this time. Yeah, this doesn't look like I'm dropping any more frames right now, but yeah, I see a ton of drops for a little bit. I'm going
67:38
I said last time this is my kind of belief in self, but how many do you actually shoot things? Ramps are always a good bet. That's a good bet. Run! Get up the ramp. Who's the kid? All of you! Climb! Yes! Ignore what I said about it completely automatically. I really wanted to save that golem saber later. But I guess I need it. That didn't make that ramp run. Two party. I have one more ramp.
69:23
So is it good now? Is the stream pausing still or is it solid? Oh yeah, it's still dropping, isn't it? I blame Johnny too, Chris. Blame Johnny for everything.
69:45
Go to the right, go to the right, go to the right, no one does the kickback. Oh, you suck. Oh, you really suck.
70:00
Yeah, it looks like it still is. I can see the dropped frames. The ravens of Erebor are returning to the mountains. No. 2,000 kill points. Well, I can always drop the, um... Yeah, it's still going.
71:04
Here, let me drop the bitrate and see what happens. All right, let's start this over. I just dropped it to 2400.
71:33
No, the CPU is fine. The CPU is at... CPU is only at 20%, so that's good. Let's see if dropping the bitrate helps.
71:49
I just dropped it by 400 kilobytes. Hopefully that'll work. I think our little game ends here. Nope, it's not working. Alright, I'll be right back.
72:23
© BF-WATCH TV 2021 Thank you. Okay. I just kicked my wife off the Wi-Fi. Let's see what happens now.
73:47
Let me know if it drops anymore. I'm going to kick off my wifi on my phone here too just in case get off of there because that's why I'm watching my chat the chat window on my phone I don't have anything else open nothing else should be doing it alright maybe another game I said last game last time that was for a game we have come to reclaim our home I'm having fun playing it I hate when I use my kickback right away. Man, that's huge.
74:23
Some games, you play for a half hour on this. In other games, it's over in five minutes. Get these so fast.
74:46
We only just got here. Oh, damn. All right. I'm going to do what Chris says. No, I shouldn't. I really shouldn't.
75:04
I'm not going to restart this game, even though I can hear Chris in the back of my head. Restart, restart. Restart. The last light of your day will shine upon the keyhole.
75:40
Since I left Wi-Fi. Oh, thanks, Chris. Thank you, yeah. You're right. Bye, Mom. I am listening. Oh, oops, oh.
76:03
Yeah, get out of here. So, this is the Hobbit. I do like getting as many air boards as I can just because the bonus points can be really good. So, one more spinner hit and I will be there. Even if it's not a good spinner hit. This thing's up to do. And I'm just going to finish it because I don't care about the points for it. Well, I should, but I don't. I don't know. I just find it gives me something to do. If I miss a shot, then I'll get the locks, and I'll start building towards other things.
77:12
I just need to... Or... Were missing all the orbits. multiple jackpot Alright, seems like it's back in business now. I'm going to start the Resurgence of Sauron and probably pull a spot during it is my guess. Oh, get that, get that kickback. Get it, get it! It's gone!
78:51
Oh no. Kick back! Kick back, kick back, kick back, kick back. Get it, get it! Come on, I got it! Okay.
79:05
I can fly. Jeez, they get it and they use it right away. I'm throwing this Voltaire Ball because I didn't want my Kramer to run out on the uh, What's up? Uh... I can't.
79:40
I'm probably gonna run out of time anyways. Can't seem to shoot that backhand right now. Did I miss the wreck? Yes. Oh, I did.
80:03
So once again this boat is big points, 87,000. Oh, I did a beast. Oh well. Oh, you see that ball hop the... Jump over there.
80:56
Is that the uh... I can't tell what's going on now. Too much. Oh, I don't want to kick back. I'm in another airport right now. I'm just going to have a ball.
81:16
And bust him. Oh, I think we're broken. Oh. Must have been a delayed ball save there. Alright, what am I going for? I want that right ramp to get the treasure hunts. 87,000 points.
81:58
Alright, into beasts. Uh. He's pretty good. Alright, that was good. Out of the frying pan. And into the All right, that was good.
82:28
Stream's still solid? Not breaking up anymore? Fortunately, I had to lower that bandwidth. I'm still in a peace frenzy here. So that's why you can see the lights kind of flicker. Those are the pretty crazy points whenever I get a shot. Even though I don't see anything up top. Still runs. Wow, why did I just lose all the balls?
83:06
That is replayed so loud. Come on. Come on, man. Come on. Mean game is mean! I have not finished that phase. Geez. Alright. More spin reaction.
84:07
So it's something else presenting itself. Oh, like it! Come on! There we go. Kick back, yay! I played all the gap on the walls. Oh, boy, that was close. I was not ready for that. Bring on the bomb, I'm hungry.
84:34
Oh no, oh no. Bumper's dead. I've got parasites. Press the ring button. Excellent.
85:24
Shoot the buffers. Shoot the buffers! How about the orbits and buffers? You want to hit any buffers? Come on! More action! More action! More action!
85:54
That's safe, that's safe. Oh, close. That's one thing, without having to send a post, the death save is a little easier. Cheating. Got the shot I wanted there. Um. Oh, that's close. Got the shot I wanted there.
86:22
Oh, that's close. Man. I wanted a mode block just so I could make sure I could complete a mode this round. It helps, that's what I'm saying.
86:44
Alright, I'll take my... it's my block now. What mode do I want to play? Well, I'm not going to make the backhand. Let's do more spinner! Uh, that wasn't good. That really wasn't good. Oh, that's right.
87:15
I had two already. That was a big mistake. Keep track of things. Okay, so no more shaking this thing. Oh, God.
87:33
Oh, damn. Alright. One more, one more, one more. One more. For real this time. Yeah, that bonus loss, that's, uh... That's Keith's idea of torching the player.
88:08
Later in the game, those bonuses can get... I freed his wretched head from his miserable shoulders. Alright, Sneaky Lock, yay.
88:40
So since I got that I'll play that. I'll just... No, no. Go to the right! And hit... Yes, yes, that's exactly what I wanted. paint to tealy you now strain really really I want got
89:30
Jackpot! I'm trying to get the most out of it. Alright, that was another kickback right there. We can stack Kickback, I don't know if I've mentioned that one yet.
91:00
Okay, I want to make sure I do not play the One Ring. For my big giant hold that won't move here. Because that would be complete waste.
91:20
Ah, you! Damn you Goblin. Anything but the one ring. Sure, riddles in the dark. Go down. Jackpot! Multi-ball! Jackpot! Oh that an extra ball going around I didn even realize I got that All right
92:19
I'm boxed out. Jackpot! My wings. Bye bye. Oh damn, is that close to the airport? Hello. Out of the frying pan. And into the fire. Oh, that's a good one. Out of the frying pan. And into the fire.
93:36
Alright, maybe I'll finish it this time. Maybe not, but... I'd like to be hopeful. And I just... into the, uh... the, uh, spinner. Chipper spinner right there. Something like slash four.
93:53
I'd have an extra ball lit if I could shoot into the... ballon over there. I get that 8 times. One more party.
94:27
I may just lose them already. If you ever want to make this game really hard, all you need to do is the best with the left outline there. And it just sucks up balls like crazy. There's a couple different X-Balls. One of them is when you light all the characters
95:01
for modes. Another is during... and that's what the Roving Grunt target was that I got. So I must have all the modes lit. Another one is when you... I think it's in Warp Frenzy.
95:23
I used to get them more often, but one of the things that changed was there's a mode lit by T-Cons when the game starts now, and that seems to have made it harder to get that initial extra draw. The Jackbox is ready!
95:51
How many? Ten Beeps? Oh yeah, that's not too bad. They keep the ball alive. They come up automatically. You don't raise them with any shot.
96:14
So nice having the status on this full screen, by the way. Used to be a guessing game. How many beats do I have left? My stomach beat just a bit. Four, three...
96:41
Really wanted to kick back. Alright. Like I said, kickback is so important. I love this, how the two beasts come up to kind of block the shot right there.
96:56
Alright, so this is the shoot the ramp to raise the beast. Shoot the 15 or 17. Crazy number. It's not crazy.
97:13
It's a level 5 army, looks great. 10 beasts, then 20 beasts, then you have a phase and then it's 30 beasts I believe.
97:36
Kickbacks, so important. Go! Good. I got you, man. I'm not going to hit that board. I'd rather raise up the other ones. Oh, okay. So eventually, yeah, it does that. Oh, okay.
98:30
Dead a lot of the time, gotta watch out. That was too close. These things are sensitive, obviously. Four more. I'll hit this one, then I know that it's only the three that are remaining. once I get him up. Probably just need to get off of these if I want.
99:26
Alright. And that's it. Victory laps now. And... two moonwalks, back to back over there. There's got to be a way to fix it. Let's see.
99:53
I don't know what was that. Why don't you create a separate... There you go, kind of. So you have to collect all the health shots before lights.
100:20
And that was a lucky shot there. Alright. And the value just keeps going up. That was 250, it's now 150.
100:36
Thank you. I could get a cannon. It's all about the kickback. I just wanted to go there. Alright. 8,000 point victory laps. It's working out pretty well.
101:22
That's why I shoot on the fly. Bad backhand. Aww, what was that? What was that? Alright. Yeah, see, I have all the modes lit. That's when I got the roving drop target extra ball.
101:56
Oh, no, no, no, no, no! No! I think that was one of the highest I've gotten the victory laps to. I normally don't last very long on that, to be honest.
102:21
Shoot worse for them. Oh yeah, there's that. It was a real game, Chris. Now it's not. roast mutton is that a fun mode? do I have any uh what's his name
102:41
I do okay shoot drop target I have multiple bombs shoot drop target shoot drop target alright I'll do it and shoot drop target are they over there?
102:59
mutton yesterday Martin to die. Assault the next round! Go! Stunned. Come on, hit the kick back. Another one, come on. Got it. Use it.
103:49
Uh, let's see, if I can take this lock, because I can't buy any boat locks. So just take that. Uh, what was that mode again? Those were just the right ones, right? It's not showing me any treasure, and I don't see what the value is. Should have been decent value, let's see.
104:28
34,000. Okay, now it's fine. And so then another way to get an extra ball is if I complete the door targets. After you've collected them. No, before you collect the first turn.
104:43
I feel your air. Almost there. Almost. So I'd like to stay in treasure trove during the night. So I'd like to stay in Treznor during the multiballs so I can buy a good survivor.
105:22
To get another X-Ball. No luck? Oh my monster no, that's my uh, connect to chat, connect to chat. Yeah, spider. Spider, oh well. Got another 34,000 right there.
106:19
Just keep going. Spider! All right, I can play around. Try to get both multi balls through this. And get the barrel escape.
106:42
Oh, that's the other extra ball. I just remembered. When you're in the bumpers, if sometimes it'll go out, you know, same way I'm lighting the kickback. It'll raise the drop target. Sure. And that drop target can sometimes be an extra.
107:00
Or minus. There you go. Oh, really? You do that one. Where it's always the beast, I don't want to do it. These stairs will blunt the knives.
107:20
Oh, well. That's... I didn't want another extra ball, really, did I? Oh, it... it... wow. Wow, the grace parade was long enough to keep me in the treasure hunts.
107:49
But it didn't keep me in bees. I wonder what I want here. Alright, that lit the extra ball, so I'll have another one here. That's the harder extra ball to get. I have to shoot the one on the left, then the one on the right. Yeah.
108:41
Oh well. What do I still need? I still need... Oh, air borer. Wow, that's one shot. That works. There we go, air bar. Paralys- uh...
108:59
There we go, Paralyscape! The only one I've ever finished. I don't know why. I'm actually not a single pop-up.
109:18
Shoot, shot into orbit, had the magnet grab it. I didn't get a single bumper there. Come on. Come on. You should be getting more bumpers than that.
109:35
You should be directly handling those bumpers. That's right. Okay. Oh, that was almost a fumble. Alright, let's meet this one.
110:15
And they all fall down. Come on, I can't even get one set up. Setup. There we go. Alright, I can breathe from that.
111:02
I really wanted to do the backstab, which is hitting the ramp, hitting it from behind. It gives me double.
111:09
Get two hits instead of one. And that'll die. Oh, it didn't. Oh, yes it did. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Alright, let's play mode. Press the ring button.
111:28
Excellent! Should the danger spark? I hope you don't. Oh no, that's two. Alright, I'm not finished about it. I'm sorry.
111:53
It's just everything else again. Really? Oh my gosh. I survived. I've got double scoring right now, but that's kind of pointless. That was by hitting a Thorin so many times. No 3x, no 4x, nothing but double. Should have had that. Alright, break, break, break. Or not. Alright, break, break, break. Or a bit... Or not. It's getting soggy, that's for sure. It's gone. Alright. Not so bad. I didn't take too many notes, so Not that big of a bug, honestly.
113:42
I'm in trouble. Oh gosh. Oh, my own fault. You'll also notice at this later stage the lock letters you do have don't carry over from ball to ball.
114:29
Alright, I need the spider. Why is it always the spider? I'm going around all the time. Alright, back in this mound.
115:14
Jackpot! I have a load lock lit, spider from beast, and I'm going to miss it, miss it, miss it, miss it. Some people will be happy with that, I am not. I'm looking for the plated right now. I will show you the plan! That's my super spinner. Jackpot! That's the thing I do. Super jackpot!
116:29
I know I'm near the end of a spout also. I'm going to red the targets. I've got the two up at the top.
116:38
Then the reds on the right again. The one left up there. Then the reds on the right again. I'm going to leave the big shot now. We're not. We're not. What am I missing? Oh. Um. No, nothing. What's it? Oh, Ori. Ori, Ori, Ori. Maybe Throne will give it. Yes. And that's twice I've done that. Twice the speed. with that big bar how did I do that? alright, well, battle 5 armies with blitz um, so really I don't wanna mess this up, I better just get the ball in the flipper rather than his skill shot so I can backhand into... Red Aghast! the battle for the mountain is about to begin Come on, let's go.
118:02
Alright. We're gonna get past stage 2 this time. Stage 2 is 20 beasts, this is 10. I believe there are 6 or 7 stages in this one.
118:22
Hit that last one. Come on. Come y'all. Alright. Take one down. Are you guys looking for a whole bar?
118:37
No, I didn't see that. Dammit. One, two. Alright, so this is shoot, um... Shoot for a target. And then shoot the, uh... Alright, so this is shoot, um, shoot for a target, and then shoot the, uh, shoot Thorin. I really love what they did here with this. So different than everything else in the game. This section.
119:42
Alright, the W guitar again. I really like the replay right now. Ding, ding, ding. I've never completed that one. I mean, I finished that stage, but I've never completed that song. Um, a lot to it.
120:16
30 pieces you need on the next round. Alright, let's see, let's play with a defense knight. Honestly, I don't remember this mode right now. Let's see what I have.
120:45
That's it? One shot? Uh, darn. It's actually, uh, almost a different fourth now. So I'm in a multi-ball, so now I'm... I mean, I could focus on dwarves, but... I could focus on dwarves to get more, uh... get another extra ball, but... Oh, pfft.
121:10
Slipers are definitely getting... even more tired than they were. I'm not going to die. Shoot the right loop.
121:39
The right loop, which has the works in front of it, so you have to keep the ball to bring the work down. shoot it before the wolf I got my point that I have to do that since I don't mind oh the orc I didn't realize that the orc was part of the mode alright another mode go through all of them because that happens alright not bad alright well that's going to be it thanks for watching if you're catching this on YouTube you can find me on twitch.tv slash IE pinball or subscribe to us YouTube, follow on Twitch and see you next time goodnight
