TL;DR

Roving Stranger Things tournament stream at Outer Orbit SF with gameplay and machine commentary.

Summary

Mystery Pinball Theater 3000 streams a roving Stranger Things tournament at Outer Orbit arcade in San Francisco's Mission District. The stream features tournament match play on Stranger Things and other machines, with commentary on game mechanics, difficulty with the Demo Dog mode shot, and operator/player observations about machine calibration issues. The broadcast includes casual gameplay analysis and community interaction.

Key Claims

  • The Demo Dog mouth shot on Stranger Things is extremely difficult and possibly miscalibrated—no one successfully hit it during the tournament despite multiple attempts.

    high confidence · Streamer and multiple players repeatedly attempt and fail the Demo Dog mouth shot; streamer states 'Not a single person. Not a single person' has made it, and suspects a manufacturing defect or calibration issue.

  • The machine is brand new and heavily waxed, which may be affecting ball physics and playability.

    medium confidence · Player comments 'I think he waxed it up and it's like super new too' in response to discussion of ball speed and control issues.

  • The Demo Dog mode is difficult and requires perfect machine setup to play correctly.

    medium confidence · Streamer and genie discuss that 'The machine has to be set up perfectly' and 'demo was super picky' across multiple units they've played.

  • Stranger Things spoils major plot points from seasons 1 and 2.

    high confidence · Streamer explicitly states: 'Game spoils all the major points' and 'Game spoils all the major plot points of season 1 and season 2.'

  • The right orbit on Stranger Things is inconsistent—sometimes it feeds properly, sometimes it misfires laterally toward the slingshot.

    medium confidence · genie and streamer discuss: 'this orbit feeds to the slingshot, and only half the time...Half the time it fires, half the time it doesn't' and 'It's scary because sometimes it shoots over here.'

  • Stranger Things does not have a magnetic save on the Demo Dog shot (unlike Premium or James Cameron Avatar LE editions).

    high confidence · Direct exchange: 'Is there a magnet in this? Not that I know of, actually' and 'the Premium Edition and the James Camerons Avatar (Limited Edition) have a magnet.'

  • Ryan Ritchey designed Stranger Things (referenced as 'Attack of Mars slash Medieval Madness dude').

    high confidence · Streamer asks 'Who's the guy that made this game again?' and chat responds identifying designer; streamer confirms 'Ryan freaking Eddie' (likely Ryan Ritchey, confused with another name).

Notable Quotes

  • “Not a single person. Not a single person. So now it's getting a little scary because something's not calibrated right.”

    Mystery Pinball Theater 3000 streamer@ 60:05 — Key moment identifying the Demo Dog mouth shot as broken or miscalibrated; signals potential quality control issue.

    Mystery Pinball Theater 3000 streamer@ 65:55 — Notes significant spoiler content baked into game narrative.

  • “It's not punishing, even though we did terrible. It's not punishing because everything is kind of further away.”

1, 2, 1, 2, welcome, MPT3K is here at Outer Orbit, we are here at Outer Orbit, we're going to play, hey it's Christian, Outer Orbit, camera's right there, so here's what we're doing today. There's actually a tournament happening, so you guys will get to see some tournament play. I set up the rig on Stranger Things. We did a full half-hour test stream before this, so there should be no interruptions. And what's up? Sari-bye! What's up? So you're about to see some hopefully high-level play here on Stranger Things. I probably won't be playing. I'm not in the tournament and I won't be playing. Maybe I'll play in between if there's no one else playing. But you'll get to see some really good play today. And that's about it. So enjoy Stranger Things. Like I said, I might not be around a lot, but I'll stick my head in and say hi every once in a while. But you're going to see actual match play from let's see. On Fish Tales, myself, Ali, and Eileen. On Stranger Things, Bill, Roland, and John. Good luck, everyone. Good luck, man. I haven't handled it, so don't even look at anything but this. Yeah, for sure. You're lucky because you get all the lights. When you're doing that match, for those who know how to do it, just double check with somebody else you were playing with to make sure you mentioned it correctly. We're going to be able to document that super high score, everybody. Here, pressure's on. Uh-oh, game's over. Uh-oh, it's called tournament director. Just going to try the other one. Everybody on stream saw that, right? He got jibbed out of a quarter. Yeah, we'll go back to the show. Good luck, have fun, everyone. I want to take it out. Yeah. I'm John. I'm second. I'm going.

Thank you. I can see that a mile away. It's got a little tilt on that. It's not going to go. Nice turn. Yeah, it's getting more ramp. It's getting further. Oh, yeah. Alright, let's see. Come on. Oh. All right. Oh, big drain there. Don't do that! That was brutal. It's like a lot of wax on this game. I think. I think he waxed it up and it's like super new too. Yeah, it is brand new. Okay. Who is it? Did you read that? Yeah. Yeah, that's my wife. Okay. Yeah. I mean, I don't know who that is. Is the chat disturbing? I could turn it off. No, I like it. I like it. Somebody does, yeah. Yeah, one of us. One of you. Oh that feed is for sure. Wow, what does that thing do drop down and then After you get so many targets All right pressures on I don't know what is it a skill shot Thank you. Thank you. Oh, barely. Got it barely. First ball. First ball luck. That's what it was. Woo! Yeah. Missed it by that much. Got it? Yeah. Excellent game, gentlemen. Excellent game. Did anybody score it in the mouth? Did anybody shoot it in the mouth? Yeah. Yeah, it's super hard tonight. I don't know why. Maybe the angle. That's the thing. No one's been able to hit that tonight. I can take another shot at it right now. Okay. No one's been able to hit that, son. I don't mind. What's the deal? I have no idea. He's just adding more presumably. Hey, I got it. Oh my god, that beat is terrible. Good God. Ah, we're on. Let's go, Shia. Let's go. You need to get a multiball here. Turn up the heat. Get up there. Ah! Man, it's always that shot. It's straight down. Is it only if you one shot off that ramp before it pulls up again or did it just ball drain? The ball drained. So yeah, I should have hit it. I can't believe that my high score on this is 150 million. That was total luck. Was that today or was that Friday? That was last week. No, that was Friday. Yeah. Total luck. That was like when some of the switches weren't even working. Yeah, yeah, it's all working now You give it a shot. Yeah, all right, so I get some revenge Thank you so much. Really? Really? There you go. Took me three times to get the ball in there, though. No. Here we fucking go! Oh, Jesus. Yeah, it's really tough. Get over there. Damn it. Did you get two points for coming close or no? No. Ah! Come on! Really? What do you get if you actually get the ball in there anyway? Not any point. That's a five-bill. Get in there. You get the satisfaction of having hit that terrible shot. It's not just very satisfying. I mean, that'd be like tripling the score. Nah. Oh, my God. I feel like the ball is going too fast. You're supposed to get it in that. Yeah, no kidding. I'm going to do this, though. So, just so you guys know, we are here at Outer Orbit in lovely San Francisco. Where are we? Mission? It's the Mission District of San Francisco.

He's telling me right now the tournament is taking a long time because they're playing Batman. And Gene's playing, which of course takes forever. Batman always takes forever. Oh, it's done. It's done? It's done. All right. All right. That means we're going to have more play. That means we're going to get to watch. And I'm going to get to eat my Impossible Burger. Pinsomniac, what up?

That happened so long ago, didn't it? Sorry. Are they playing Batman Dark Knight? No. It's the 66. Batman 66. I'm sorry I have to do this to you guys. Let me tell you which games they have here at Outer Orbit next time you're in town. There's a Space Odyssey, a William Space Odyssey from 1976 right here. Obviously, we have Stranger Things. Napoleon, give me your tops. There's a Jurassic Park LE with the moving thing. David and John. Sorry. On Twilight Zone, all of myself, David and John. On Theater of Magic, Bennett, Eileen, Bill, and Merlin. On Stranger Things, Gene, Adam, and Christian. Ooh, Gene. Come here. This is Gene X, guys. If you don't know him, you don't know pinball. I'm sorry. Amazing photographer, amazing player. If you don't know Gene... I'm going to play terrible on this game now. He's going to be awful on Stranger Things. Yes, exactly. Good luck, guys. Thank you, man. Thanks. Is that? That's just a volume up. Yeah, shit. I gotta go play. Going up. If it had pay range on it I would actually If it had pay range on it, I would pay for it just to serve that. I can tell you what I know what you know. Damn, man. I haven't played this code. I haven't played the original code. All right. Who's, uh... How does it go? First, second, third? I'm first, and then... So I'll tell you what I do know. So I only played it like four or five times in Atlanta. So the skill shot is like these lanes are moving, so you can try to hit it. If you get it in here, the super skill, I don't know what else gives you the type of points. I don't think it really matters. Then see how like there's three dots on left orbit, left ramp, right ramp. Those are your modes. So see all these little words under? Those are the modes. It's randomly set to some mode. The pop bumpers will change the mode. So every three shots you hit starts a mode? I think maybe, I'm not sure if it's the third shot starts it or if it's the fourth shot, I can't remember. It's like medieval madness. Yeah, because he's a fan of time. Oh. So yeah, so you start a mode by hitting either three or four, I can't remember, and that'll start the ball. If you hit these, they'll light the locks for the multiball, this is the main multiball which you just see up there. I think you can stack the locks, so if you hit light lock, you know, like, I think the first one actually lights all three. Yeah. Every once in a while I'll do that upside down thing where only these shots are lit. It's like a hurry up for a certain amount of points. You said you keep getting those? Yeah, during it. You can progress these things during it, but you can't see them because the screen's dark. There's... oh, if you shoot this shot like three times or something, it lights... I think maybe the first time it lights this left out lane save. Oh, cool. And then three times more, I think it lights double scoring at the scoop, so you can shoot in the scoop to get double scoring. I forget. Oh, this demo dog attack, you spell demo, D-E-M-O-D-O-G, and it'll light. I don't know what those are. Oh, it's just a demo dog. Yeah, the second this guy thing, the... The two-ball multiple. Yeah, the second one. That's kind of all I know. Okay, yeah, cool. Thanks for the tips. Good luck. Tier one is up. I like it loud. I'm not trying to go for the super just because. That was not a good idea. Oh no, I don't like that. It's weird when you don't know where the feeds are. Easy there, buddy. I don't like that. You're going to tilt. Yeah, that's bad. That's brutal. Player two, you're up. Cool. Here, you can have that one back. Nice. I just gotta get it down twice. Just start the Demogorgon thing. This kick out. Player three is up. Ball saved. That's a terrible comment. That's not good. Stop that already. That was weird. That sucks. Is that a 10-1 point? Player one is up. I don't know if this is really worth it. Every shot, like, while it runs down, I think every time you hit a stand-up, it looks like it will go down. Player two is up. Sounds good. Sounds great. This thing is like impossible to hit. Oh, come on. Oh, man. That was brutal. Player three is up. Block is lit. Oh, come on. He sucked. Player one is up. Yeah, let's blame that. I've got to figure out what that shot is. Okay. That was a good call out. see if I can find this I cannot hit that shot. I did that earlier. Oh really? One could. Good. Nice. Jackpot! Jackpot! I got a game. Maybe. Jackpot! Mystery is lit. Jackpot! Jackpot! Ha! Ha! It smells like death. Player two is up. Player two is up. Okay. Okay. Stop that! Player three is up. Christian's in the back room. What do you think, Caden? I like it. Man, it sounds good loud. It sounds good loud. Yeah, it's really loud. Oh, we're still streaming. Are we still streaming? We're still streaming? What? Yeah. Oh. Hi, everyone. Come on TV. All right. I did nothing in the first two balls. I'm going to stop trying to do the skill shot, the super skill shot. Oh, no. Ah. At the very least. Oh, my God. Oh, no. Wow. I did nothing. Hey, I got second place now. Or third place. Man, that was terrible. Rematch. Against myself, I guess. I put up 200 million. Seen a lot of drains on the kick out. That saucer's risky. So this saucer sucks. Hit that box. Oh. It's, uh... Adam. Yeah. So the saucer kicks out over there. And it goes laterally, though. Yeah, it's always bad. Sometimes bad. I think what's worse is sometimes this exit. So this shot is the right orbit will always come back down the right orbit. And what it generally does is it hits the top of this sling. And then it kind of bounces up and then bounces out. Sometimes it just bounces up and then kind of bobbles around before it goes to the out lane. You can slap it away from that orbit. Oh, you mean when it comes out and hits the top? Yeah, right. You can slap it, but... That's a... That's kind of weird. Yeah, it should really feed to the in lane. Or... The in lane. It makes it easier. What's weird is, like, this orbit feeds to the slingshot, and only half the time... I mean, at least on our machine. Half the time it fires, half the time it doesn't. It doesn't. That's scary. It's scary because sometimes it shoots over here, and then you've got your flipper off or something. I mean, usually you can... Would you call this, Gene, would you call this a shooter's pin? Because it looks like everything is a... Like, you've got to hit shots. I don't know what that means exactly. Like, Guardians. But it's not punishing. Like, I would call Black Knight. Yeah. This is not punishing, even though we did terrible. It's not punishing. No, yeah. It's not punishing because everything is kind of further away. I want to play another game. You wanna play again? Uh, sure. Can I play again? Sure. Oh boy. Oh good. Wow! Alright. And I'm gonna turn that down. Yeah. Next turn is us! Aww. Who did I just play games for? James and John. James and David. On Jurassic Park. Boland, Bill, and... Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Lauren, Bill, Ollie, and Adam. You're on it. Stranger Things. Christian, Bennett, and myself. Okay, now you can do it. Alright. Rematch time. Christian will redeem himself. Coming in at three credits on me. Hey! Five! Ten! Eight! Uh, who's on? Who am I playing? Three. Oh, so we're good to go. Three. Player two. Player three. And I'm the first, right? Oh, you're going to cut it. Yeah. Yeah. Just to invent other names. All right. I don't want this one. Good luck. Just to invent other names. I shouldn't. Yeah, probably. Like, . . . . . . . . . . I think Star Wars is worse. . . . . . . . . Yeah. Player two, you're up. Oh, no. Player three, you're up. All right. We got it. So, okay. Me, Bill, all the way up. Oh, my God. We've got to be funny. Thank you. Oh, my God. I backflip. I backflip. So, we're going to go down. So, we're going to get here. Okay, I got it. Ah, come on. Mystery award. Yes. Basically the mode doesn't really finish until you hit it in the mouth. It's kind of weird. I'm just going to go back to my, what I was doing before. Ah! Come on, there it is. Mystery is lit. Oh! Oh, man. Yeah. So you're just in jail until you can get that thing? Yeah, and you know what? We just got it. It was actually really easy to get it. Now it's been harder. Player two is up. Stop doing that. Stop that. That's so annoying. Player three is up. Player three is up. These will show the number of shots you've made. Exactly. Is that the orbit that goes the whole way around? My ball kept falling back. Yeah, so it just has to go up and then come up. Ah, okay. Oh, I see. Up around there. Okay, got it. So I hit it a bunch, but obviously I didn't make focus. People just kind of went... Yeah, I think you get a mini-reserve too if you complete all the answers. Yeah. Let's go, baby. Dancing! Where are you? Thank you. Jackpot! Jackpot! Jackpot! Ow! Oh! What am I supposed to do for this dog though? Oh. Thank you. . We play. . . . . It didn look like they were flashing it did look like they were stopping That was crazy right Yeah Alright we waiting for our player one The last one she was in was the demo dog mode, which is, you started there, and I think you complete demo dog, the stand-ups, and then you light it, and then you hit it a number of times. It didn't look like they were going solid. All right, we're going to continue. Christian is busy serving food. But he'll be right back. Louise is a monster. Just saying. Don't want to be playing against her. Eric is also a monster. Don't want to be playing against him. How's everybody doing tonight? Here he comes. Good luck, Christian. Thanks. Thanks for waiting. Wow, nice. Anyone? So did you do a multiball? I did multiball. Maybe I think I'm going to have a load going as well. I started some demagogue when I was in there trying to sell it. Oh yeah, right. So we're coming to engine. Okay. They're asking you to go back out. Oh. Woo! You got to give me the ball back. We got to do this. Woo! Two. Ball two. Block. Free game. Oh, get in there. Mystery is lit. Mystery award. Mystery award. Don't jump. Nice job. Ah! That's it for this game. Yes, Louise will be at Indisc. Play it out for the stream. Play it out for the stream. All right. Oh, it's that one. Okay. I did. Yeah, it's only like a thousand points. It's not really worth it. I was managing the whole stuff. I'm going to hit it. Right on. Nice. There's also like, ah, we can get out already. Stop doing that. Wow. That was a good one. I really feel like something's not calibrated on this. Everyone took a thousand shots at the thing and never shot it. Yeah, I agree. I think you're right. There's something absolutely not right about something. Yeah. Right? You guys agree? Because Friday when I was here, I was playing. We were hitting it. You were getting it in. Yeah. I had people complaining about it. So it might be... I think it's a manufacturing defect. Oh, yeah, just put that out there. It could probably tilt in the head. Yeah, there's got to be an adjustment to... You're not going to adjust the ramp. Is there a magnet? No, there isn't. Is there a magnet in this? Not that I know of, actually. No, I mean the premium and the LE have a magnet. Yeah, and the back glass and the premium, but not on this one. No, there's a saucer. That's not a saucer. Yeah. Thanks. Thanks, Christian. All right. I'm leaving now. I got it. I feel like there should be a magnet to catch the ball once it gets near the Demi thing. I played on two of these. The monster shot was super hard on both of them. Yeah. Demo was super picky. The machine has to be set up perfectly. Lord, how it hurts. What's up, bud? Alright, the tournament continues. What, you took second on that? Yeah. What format is this? Is this like two strikes? What is this? I think it's one space. I actually wasn't paying attention. I've been in the kitchen. Come on, me, me, me. Yes! On Jurassic Park, John, myself, Adam, and Eileen. On Black Knight, David, Bennett, and Boland. I like that it's tough though. Impossible sucks though. Seems like Stranger Things is not in. That means somebody named MPT3K is going to play. It's not my name, by the way. It's not. Is it good? Yeah, it's not being used in this round. So you can just go ahead and play for fun. Have you had any luck getting it into the... Friday I did. Everybody got it in on Friday. I haven't seen a single person. Not a single person. So now it's getting a little scary because something's not calibrated right. Yeah. Not a single person. Unless I'm wrong, chat. Everyone was at the first Demi...whatever. Demi-con. Alright. I'm going to try my luck. Oh, there's already a couple in here, but I'll make sure that people can play in the tournament. All right, I believe in you. You got this now. Man, after what Luis just did, I don't know, man. You're supposed to get better when better players are around you. I get worse. Where's the skill shot? Because I can still take it right now Not anymore I'm going to go for the easy The easy locks Let's try that again Oh, well thank you Okay Okay. Oh, one wall saves. Take it. This is hella loud. Without tennis injury. I can't do this, without . I can't get this did it did without did a do do ball to shoot the pop up in the pit oh sorry guys I just don't know why they picked the guy that didn't sound anything like Samuel Jackson to do Samuel Jackson's part I'll give us a few hours for a push. What am I shooting? I don't even know. Ah! Ah! What the hell was that? Lost potential. Ah, he's a birder. That was actually better than half the scores in the tournament. I think. Don't panic Cliff, are you still here? You're going to love this game man. I don't even watch the show. I don't even watch the show and I like this. Mystery is lit. No! I hate when I beat myself. I mean that's literally me beating myself It's not that bad. Here you can have that with a bat. Mystery. Big points! A thousand! How many times do I have to shoot that? I enjoy killing these Martians. Here we go again, wasting my time. The game spoils all the major points. 5.7% in the second half. Oh, I almost made it. Guys, if I make this, I'm the only one here to have made it. No. Stop that already. You're going to chill. It continues. All right, 41. 41. I absolutely hate that thing now. Who's the guy that made this game again? In the chat. Game spoils all the major plot points of season 1 and season 2. So if you haven't seen it, you probably don't need to now. Who's the guy that made this? the Attack of Mars slash Medieval Madness dude. Ryan freaking Eddie. I love you. I love him. I love him to death. I love him like I love a hole in my head. Alright. Skill shot. I think it's over here. Oh, that was close. Can I just pull a scared stiff and keep doing this? Maybe. That's the end of that. Easy there, buddy. Easy. You can also soft plunge to flipper and shoot the scoop. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. I'm going to try that. I'm going to try soft plunging and shooting the scoop. So... this... this... this... this... UGH! Now I have to pose for the asteroid. You're saying that as if I had skill. That's a good one. Everybody loves a multiball. Run Will, run! It's in the air and oh my god it's flipping over! I actually do want to see the show though. All right. Two more. Two more. One more. One more. Excellent. Super jackpot. Ahhhh! Pinball! Frickin' pinball! Is there a... Oh, let's find out if there's a left flipper hold skill shot thingy. Let's find out. That's a good question. I'm just burning these credits anyway, so... Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me! Argh! I don't know if they're singing now. Let's play it again. You guys want to watch Luis play again? Damn, that's a bonus. What? What is this melody? Let's find out. I don't think there is. Because nothing's lighting up when I hold this down. Nothing else is lighting up. I'm going to plunge. I don't think there is. Ah, I hit a switch. That sucks. That sucks. Okay, so the next goal you would have, and this is to... Oh, jeez. Right. Fully completing modes and scoring supers in multiball makes your bonus huge. The next goal you would have is to finish the lanes. So, lane, lane, lane, lane, lane, lane, lane, lane, lane. So like your whole medieval madness Attack on Mars kind of thing. I want to find out if somebody... Let's try it. Let's try just lanes. Soft lunge. Alright, that was that. Okay, so... We got all kinds of things happening on the table right now. That's not one of them. That's not a shot I want. Ball. And it's not a shot. You could finish this guy pretty easily. Ah, you murderous son of a gun. Gently, gently. Oh, I thought I had a ball stand. The next round is almost here, people. The next round is almost ready. So don't you fear. We're getting close to the end here. That is not the right way to do that. It's too dangerous. Hey! Dirty pool, old man. That feels good, that shot there. Upside down. Wow. Wow. Oh, boy, boy, boy. We're going to stay just long enough to catch one more game during the tournament. So stick around. I'm going to go find out where we are. in the tournament. I'll be right back. While I'm here, I'm going to send my shout-outs to Thanks for the follow, Hendrick. Hendrick? Hendrick? Oh, Lick Arcade, thanks for the raid. That was a long time ago, wasn't it? and Gamma Goat, thanks for the follow. Be right back. Thank you. We're back, we're back. We're gonna see some more play. Probably better than mine. I'm mad and I wanna push you. Alright, we're gonna try and figure out how this machine works. I'm playing with you Bennett. Alright, me and David are gonna play. I need to get revenge. I'm also upset. Me too. My goal is to hit a single Demi Horgan shot. I think it's possible. Why are you upset? You just won at Black Knight. No, I got second. But you beat me. That's true. And, hey, what's up to the people? What's up, stream? Hello to the people! So that would put you still below me. Oh, okay! I got a long way to go. We've moved up a slide, too. Alright, I think this is a skill shot. You can soft plunge. You can, like, Game of Thrones Sopranos short plunge without a ball save going if you don't hit anything, too. See? Oh, but then... Then once you hit it, you go... All right, all right. That outline gets you. I'm gonna kick his ass With my new skills My new Stranger Things skills Damn it Oh well So much about that. So much for the ass kicking. No you It two for two in the lockdown lane You may be superior at Roshi and Bo which was named after a French general but I don know if you shall be victorious here at the pinball league Because I'm angry. Ah, dammit. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I know, I know, I know, I know. Don't play with anger. Don't look back at me. Why not? Did I get anything? No, but a difficult return. Thank you for that. The outlanes of the orbits in this game are no fun. No fun at all. Alright, lock the ball. Come on, silly. Arrgh! Not fun! Now I got upside down, I got hit by targets. Can't do anything else. Oh, but you can hit the lock while you're on upside down. You land something new almost every day. Told you I was angry. Get the freaking ramp. Come on. There you go. Now see if you can post catch it. Nope. You can do that. But I don't have lock. Where do I? Oh, no, it's a multiple mode. Or I already had it. I had one I didn't count. Oh, I had one I didn't count. Ladies and gentlemen, I did not do well enough. It may come as a surprise to you, Internet. Add a ball, add a ball, add a ball! Now, jackpot shots. Now, jackpot shots. Double jackpot. This game is... weird. I don't know if I totally will ever understand it. Like that. What is this every time? Oh, I had a ball. You were always in multiball. You were never not in multiball, silly man. We were always at war with East Asia. Now, if I can hit that lock shot, I can double my play field and I can get it. No! No! Boom! Watch the ball skills, watch the ball skills. Watch the ball skills. Watch him son, watch him son. Yeah, you didn't wanna do that, yeah. Let's look at that bonus. That should have been more. So I'm supposed to compete against Delrod now, okay. I see. Oh, I hit that switch. Dang it. Alright, here we go. Here we go. We're all one lot. We ain't going nowhere. Forget it. There's no here we. Ah! Easy there, buddy. I'm not your buddy. Mystery, is it? I don't even know you. Where is mystery collected? Oh, right there. Yes, I said. That dude ran all the way across. He's going to go outside. He's going to go out to Mission Street. And I want to remind you that we're having some weird ass surprise rainstorm right now. But he did go out all the way through the restaurant. Oh. Pinball. Am I right? Ah, blew it. Okay, let's take a look. What do we know? I guess we got the Lion's Clock, and then we'll go for the Season 1 on the other side there. Let's do that. Or do we go Season 2? Season 1, Season 2. Let's go Season 2. Mystery. I didn't even know I had that lit. Is there a video mode? I don't know. I don't think there is. Is there not a video mode? I don't know. Maybe it's not on the phone. Oh, I got 2x scoring lit now. How did I do that? Thank you, I'll take it. I don't know how you light that though. I read it on chat. Oh, I don't want to do this. This isn't fun. This is not fun. It's not fun at all. Shame. Demi Gorgon, shame. If you get it, you're the only person who gets it. But I also have 2x scoring right now. See? all right for the people but people come on Oh, stupid. Demi Corgan. Ovaltine weirdness shot. For the people. There's got to be a way out of this. That looked really good. No one did it today. There's got to be a way out of this. Oh, very angry. pinball right now! Gosh! Get in there! Come on! Man! This is not fun! Get in the mouth, dude. Come on! It's not fun! I don't blame you, man. Peace and love. Peace and love. Peace and love. Peace and love. See if I can get that. That was awful. Sorry everyone. I'm bad at people. What so once you get stuck at Demi Goggin whatever it's called you're done you might as well drain Your game is pretty much over And drain okay here we go try that again Player three is up. He's the best. We're the best. What up, Outer Sunset? 48th Avenue. That's where we're from. Ball one locked. I want to try a new mode. That's the thing. I don't... I want to do one of these. I don't... This is a big, wide area. It's really can't do. Look at it. You really can't do it. It's going to do that. This is a post-transfer free game. Did you know that? Yeah, yeah. There's no... There's no post-passing. And if you look at this angle, too, how it's kind of back a little bit. It's really not conducive to it. But I wonder if you can, like, if it's wide enough that you can kind of go. You can't even. And this is brown, so. Do we know where we are in the tournament? Because I'm going to have to show this. We're done. We're done? Yeah. Who won? Oh, that's the roving tournament. So it will continue next week at Three Gold Watch. Three Gold Watch? Nice. I don't know. All right, so if we're done, I got one more. I got one more in me. it's gonna be me versus Elizabeth where are we where the hell are we it's called a mission Bernal it's like some people call it the transmission or la lingua but it's like kind of I don't know not really Bernal on the edge of mission Sorry, Elizabeth. I thought it was called... Oh, nice. Thanks for the clip. I thought it was called Outer Orbit because it was in the Outer Mission. Well, it's Outer Orbit because of Pinball, but yeah, we're kind of a little out here. Okay, we're a little out. Anyway, guys, come down. We're going to play one more and then I'm going to wrap it up.

I have no idea what that is. I think that the two X shots on these inner loops, I'm going to try that. I'm kind of going to concentrate on that, actually. Can't do that. Let's just try to not do that. Settle. I think it's the right one. It's got to be the right one because the left one locks it Let's put it on the left the best we can without being able to post transfer which is Super booty booty booty booty booty and don't do that Guys is it is it inner orbits Four of them right right inner orbit for double play field like a bunch of them I was just doing my... Darn it. Alright. Let me try... Keep that ball safe going. Keep that ball safe going. Ah! No, no! It's like the worst. Nothing. You get nothing in like it. I know, I usually hit that one. Nothing happens. Alright. I'm going to try and beat you guys. So what I want to do... Stop that. Stop doing that. I stopped 10 minutes ago. I love this song. Number one. Drop. Ah! Ah! That went. I'm not really sure what I was supposed to hit. What am I supposed to hit? I don't know. The side outs? So muddy right now. You can hit the scoops too. There you go. You can block balls now. The left ground. Oh yeah. You can kind of ignore this guy because it's hard to hit the ball. So just keep playing harder, whatever you're going to do for it. I can't resist. I can't. Alright. Fine. You can backhand that on the fly too. I can't. I've never done that. You can. Believe in yourself. Alright. Oh! Nice. It's only five. It's got to be worth 20 more than this. I know. I know.
