What's up everybody we're gonna play some Ghostbusters. Now the last game I achieved Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and damned if I was only a couple shots away from completing it and starting We Came We Saw We Kicked Its Ass. A lot of fun though. So I'm wanting you guys to see we came we saw we kicked its ass so to do so you have to get through a ladder of modes a two mode three mode and four mode four mode is more loop most lucrative but for the purposes of this video let's try to get through that three that's a remote ladder try to control the bowl here We've started, we got one. Alternating left to right shots until the middle is complete. As if you're navigating through the city of Ecto. That's going to go to the right side. Oh, we do not want to start those guys. Scolari Brothers. I just might, Ernie. I just might.

Let's get the ball into control. Woo-hoo! Ladies, ladies, ladies. That's what we call a killer save.

And a simple dream. Oh, I've worked too damn hard. That was a cool save, though, wasn't it? It's almost worth the game right there. All right, we on the stinking I think we're having the third ball

All right, so since we have the mode started I'm gonna try to go for that multiplier up top which is that K shot It is a tricky little thing to hit It's a true skill shot, that's for sure. Oh my, I'm missing that completely tonight. Started the second mode, he slid me, and we also locked a ball in the process. Good, great. Left ramp fills, then shoot the orb. This is our first full lock.

See if there's three times you get it going. And you hit a normal shot to... Let's get it under control here.

That's a missed orbit. Woohoo! Getting lucky now. Getting lucky... Rejection. Was that a backhand to the right ram? I think it was. Oh, I saved that mode. Love that one. Last second shot opens that mode back up a little more time.

I gotta get it. Too sly with that See He just does not like to register Calm down now That okay All right Mode going so we try to hit that K and that was what we call a short plunge

Slider just takes too much. I'm going to have to find a way to. He's sliding. I know he does. Let's get that. No, we do not want to start spook library. No, no, no not one mister

You get some good I'm upset with myself that mode a lot more work that doesn't need to be done So we started that one but then unfortunately I'm doing this all wrong.

Since that last shot was to one of the ladders, it starts that mode. So we've got, we brought the dog now. Which again, if I'm trying to get through these modes on one ladder, that's not how you do it. But that is how you do it if you're trying to get to the ready to believe. or your god or something.

So, my extra ball is lit. Light lock is lit. Okay, so at least we started. Oh, save. Is that two saves, guys? Love it. I would like to get that extra ball just so I can.

Oh, man. At least this is interesting to watch. Damn. We can't say short of not interesting. See that left rim. We do have a second ball lock.

We'll get that multi-ball going. That way we can maybe see if we can get some extra balls here. Is that not the most beautiful start to a multi-ball?

Alright Ernie, we're going to try to hit something. Some nice clean shots. But keep in mind, we're still going through the moat. So we're still, you know, setting ourselves up here for some progress through the moat. If we get too low, we'll have to try to get an add-a-ball going.

And now, just blow it. Just blow it. What do we have going? We've started the ballroom. Oh, ugly. shooting Zach.

You're gonna pay for it now. You gonna pay for it You gonna pay for it Sorry Ernie A wild game This is just a nasty little wild game right now

But you know what we are doing? We're keeping this bad boy alive. That's what we're doing. Alright, so I'm still in the ballroom. Man, if I could get that multiplier going. That'd be huge. Huge!

I didn't though. Let's complete this mode so you guys can at least see we can't we saw. Ah, I missed it.

Missed it. Alright, we're safe. Damn, I can't get a good one here. I need to get that right ring. On the fly.

Valley brick. That's not how you do it, but that's cool. Nice shot. Valley grip. That's the one thing in this game. There is a lot of shots that will just murder you. Okay. So, at least I gave it to him. Now, we're going to get to who came and saw we kicked his ass. And I started psychokinetic frenzy as well.

I'm glad it's not in the block. All right. Pop off. For real, we'll take the bonus, but damn. Let's see if we can't, we're not gonna be able to start it with stupid ass Scolari in the way. You've got to be sharding me. Alright, we got him down. Let's start the wizard here. Or the mini wizard.

Alright, get it under control, man. Oh, son. Play angry, right? Buffalo Pinball play angry. Damn. I mean, it's cool, but... Alright, so Zach... Gotta move on, baby.

That's the one thing in pinball. You gotta move on. Next ball. Alright, so we're gonna try our damnedest to light that multiplier before we start We Came, We Sought, We Kicked Its Ass. That way we can blow up some big points. Now, I think your risk for going into We Came, We Sought, We Kicked Its Ass by going shorter mode ladders is that you'll only get two multi-ball, three multi-ball, four multi-ball. I think. Let's see if I'm alive. Get that K. Damn, you guys. All right, we want the ball to... One of the things we do not, we don't want is to start the scolari. That is the only thing right now in this entire damn game that can mess us up.

There we go. Alright. Yeah. Yeah, see someone three ball. Did you say it has more gas? Oh, that was a cool shot. Come on Wish I had slow for that That would be awesome See if we can get too massive stick here That would be pretty cool. That would be real cool. . Bricks, bricks, bricks.

Super, super, super. What do we got now? Now. Not cool, bro. Not cool. Tell me, points wise, I'm not killing it. Shoot again. But I'm making some progress.

Okay, so what do we want to do now? I'd like to get Master Stereo going. I'd like to maybe start another mode. I'd like to get another multiball. So we've got a couple options. I'm going to shoot for the K at the beginning. Shoot for the K. But ultimately, so once I go up there, I'm not going, the mode's going to, it's not going to be there anymore. So I might have to go through go so I'm probably trying to start a multiple or start a multi ball Get a K get a K. There it is Then big points. We just started multiply

I guess it takes more to start your multi bowl more in circles, multiple. All right. Captive fall. Come on. Come on, captive fall.

There's mass hysteria. So the flippers, right flipper, left flipper. And they switch. I mean, you can do the backflips here, but every time you get that captive fall, Yeah, I just double flip that shit like a seven-year-old. No ball save?

Oh, you're so wrong. You are so mean and nasty. That's a good bonus. Not horrible, but at least you guys got to see we came and saw we kicked its ass. And you got to see Massisteri multiball. without freaking ball save, it felt like.

Alright. Straight out of the middle. This is Zach. Hope you guys enjoyed watching me play the Ghostbusters. We'll be right back.
