5:55
So we got a ball stuck somewhere. And the launch is getting worse. Fuck. Huh. I'm confused. Switch hits is required for gap burying. Yeah, I don't know what the actual number is, but it's a lot. There's a ball stuck somewhere. We don't know.
6:29
I've already got a couple warnings, too. Oh, it's right there. Hold on, I see it. Got it. Ball stuck? Yeah, thanks. I keep forgetting that a ball gets stuck there. Thanks for that meta.
6:59

7:18
Shit. Really team Zombies everywhere Waving around but I just don't care Zombie buzz, head or tail wind
7:40
There's some zombies in the street, just in case Eugh What's up, Jack? Oh, crap. Uh, only copyrighted stuff. You're not gonna play music anymore. Uh, we gotta figure that out.
7:59
We gotta figure that out. We're definitely not gonna play music on purpose. Uh, we gotta figure out what we're gonna do with music-based pins, so... Thanks for capturing that bug, folks.
8:12
Up for the game. Make sure my phone's out for the wife stuff. Trail of Thresh time! Alright, so the next mode should be the mobile.
8:29
And that's where we're going to do our most damage for Gappa Angry. It's almost midnight. What am I missing here?
8:42
Hi, I am said co-worker. M. Ladin, what's up, dude? Send Jackson Mr. Yooks. If I can find them, I'll stack them. Let's go.
8:52
Not sure where the heck they are. Yeah, I don't know. Get me out! I want to party! So, multiball. Surprise! You survived! You're halfway through the house. It's time to party like monsters. Uh, G-Black. I have not figured that out yet, no. We haven't done one of those tournaments in a while just because of, like, everything that's going on in the world. We're sort of... I haven't even really been streaming again, so, like, I feel like I haven't done an official real stream in a long ass time. Like, this is the first one back.
9:26
Seems like I've been gone forever. That's the fact. Yeah, that was... Yeah, jackpot! Oh, jackpot! Jackpot!
9:44
Welcome aboard, kid. Yo, the arcade party monsters. What's up, my dude? The arcade, how are you, buddy? Thank you for that brick and wood.
10:03

10:19
Welcome aboard, kid. Molly Hatchet is ting out five to the freaking community. Molly, thank you. Welcome aboard, kid.
10:30
Welcome aboard, kid. Okay, did that on purpose? Did it on purpose? That's coming back? Feels good. Welcome aboard, kid. Welcome aboard. Oh, my God. nudge up internet welcome aboard kid thank you so much love you buddy uh hope everyone stays safe welcome aboard kid I try to re-chat and try to make an easy shot thinking I don't have to pay attention then I end up pooping shoot again Don't forget, I know what you said. Uh-oh.
11:17
Co-worker dilemma. Okay, here we go. Up. Okay. Sorry, did you say kicky time? Gross. What's the setting whether to let balls dream early in a multi-chip? Oh, protocol. So, you see this thing in the middle called the Freak Friar? It goes up with every switch hit, okay? And when you max it out, you get gappa angry. Now, if you play normal, it takes a while to fill that up. But during a multiball, if you let all the balls drain and it keeps putting them up top and bouncing around in the pop bumpers, you're getting a crap ton of switch hits, okay, for free. So I'm just letting all my multiballs feed up there naturally by themselves to get the free switch hits.
12:08
Hey, there's a light in the window. Let's check it out. fudge come on down we gotta delay this a little longer there you go there we go come on down baby oh not good nudge up can you backhand this oh that was free oh my god what is happening. It's like kissing the top of the ramp and saying nope.
12:50
Your master won't mind you staying tonight. These big freaking flies are... No. All right, we'll look outside for her.
13:10
No! Alright here we go. Analyst and son of a bitch. Get up there! Oh god I love that shot. Can't be turd. Oh, hell yeah. Oh, not good.
13:42
Okay, we're live? We're live? Okay. Let me out. He said, Oh, crap. Okay, yes. Please be done. Can I be done, please?
14:18
Pay attention, Jack. Keep your hands on the game. Thank you. Holy frick. And Director's Cut is lit, thankfully.
14:28
That means we finished four modes. Play Manos forever, if you'd like. Not a bad way to build a score. Oh.
14:36
I'm good. I would like 2x playfield before I do the director's cut, though. I good Hey hit the left ramp
14:54
Aw, you fridge! Oh god, what have I done? Fucking turds! No! Dammit, dude! I was get- I got greedy. Son of a bitch! I got greedy.
15:20
Oh, it still waits for you? Wait a second. Layer one, you're up! Is this even worth doing? Like, I remember you could duplicate, you could double it. Oh, Gap is pissed off. And we got Director's Cut.
15:46
Ooh, and we gotta sneak in. Okay, we got some... So if I can get these two targets, get a rollover, shoot up the middle, we're gonna be in a damn good place.
15:59
Okay, what ball are we on? Two? Alright. Greed. Buck turds is the next target. Yes, buck turds. That's one.
16:13
Okay, we have one more to hit and then we gotta go through an inline. We'll probably just shoot up the left ramp here. Would you say this game is as good as its rank on Pinside? I don't know what its rank on Pinside is, but I enjoy this game.
16:28
Oh, I don't get to do... Director's Cut? Unless it runs at the same time? Oh, what the shit? Okay, well, we got a little robbed there.
16:53
Little robbed, no big deal. This is in the top ten? Hell yeah. It's a very fun game, and it just keeps getting better. Oh my god. It just keeps getting better. If you hear me cuss it out, it's my own issues.
17:14
Like this? I should have missed that shot or even flipped that time just then. It's my own problem. No go.
17:24
Dapa angry. Dapa is angry. Okay, so here we go. That's level one done. Moving on. Level two. Here we go.
17:38
The new Turtles has been freaking flying off the shelf. That game might go down as one of Stern's best-selling pinball machines, and honestly one of the best games in general in a very long time.
18:02
Shit. We're going to get serious, Jack. Hold on. So is that three? We're moving on to four. All right, here we go.
19:06
Stupid fly. COVID-help TMNT release, tons of attention. Potentially. It definitely... Sales are going to be hurt.
19:18
Regardless. For every manufacturer. Yeah, I can see that. It's like undivided attention. You know. Hell yeah.
19:37
It is impossible to anticipate where the two monsters which suddenly appear in the Atomic Area will attack next. The government has enlisted the aid of the Self-Defense Forces and the United Space Armed Forces to attempt to destroy this horrible menace.
19:54
Global wizard moves are the best, especially ones that are building up to something bigger. Shit. Don't... Oh my god. Okay, we got two more shots to make and we got max gap.
20:11
We got to make the right orbit and shoot up the middle again, I believe. Okay, no, we got to shoot a wild women's shot and then shoot up the middle. All right, so you can backhand this, but it's tricky.
20:27
It's tricky. Okay, so let's not fuck this up. We got to get control of this ball and shoot right inside it. Get ready to fire. We're going to short plunge right in, and then you're going to see the game go ballistic.
20:49
Uh-oh. Gappa Very Angry I would like a multiplier That would be great I don't know why I chose ball save this way. I was kind of stupid.
21:31
Because we had a ball save going. Okay, play field ready. Now we got to do a play field. Double bonus.
21:50
Okay, we're down to two balls, so let's be really careful here. It jumping time That ball helped the other ball up the range
22:23
I fumbled the shit out of that. Oh, my God. Oh, we got 4X? Hell yeah. Hold on. Did we get it? It's now time for the director's cut. Quiet on set. rolling and action! Oh, the audio is out of sync on my computer. Sorry, folks.
22:45
I gotta reset the audio. I didn't realize it's not just a collect anymore. I forgot all about that. Nice score there.
23:06
Cool half a bill. No big deal. 4X Director. It would be nice if it was a 4X Director collect, but I forgot that it's like a thing that you gotta do now.
23:35
Oh, shit. Come on, game. Man, we out here. We hit those. How long? Is this just forever? How does this work? I don't want a dust save.
24:28
Oh, we had a pretty crap bonus. Damn. That was a garbage bonus. Why was our bonus so crap? Get ready, player one. Blue. Where was our bonus, oh crap?
24:42
Go in. In the hole, thank you. Nice shot. Unskilled, but nice shot. Unskilled with a dick. Alright, next deadhead.
24:58
So the three faces of deadheads don't do anything yet. You fuzz. I'll save you. This time. here's what's cool about gappa angry if you get to gappa angry the first time and you don't make it all the way to the full six um it remembers your progress so if you get back there a second time and you drained out at like five it remembers that progress so you can work back to six um i don't know what it does if you've got to six immediately if it remembers that it would be great if it did.
25:37
He thinks a jewel has been stealing those limbs from the M.U.T. operation. I said, knock it off, buster!
25:52
Okay. Okay, there it is. Always playing bad bonus on integer overflow. Thanks. Did you see my Hey, my call to action for a re-theme of Iron Man could be Bill and Ted. So much of that game works for a re-theme. It's insane.
26:12
The way Iron Man is, there's four targets on the left that say Iron, three targets on the right that say Man, so that could be Bill on the left.
26:21
Replace the Iron Monger with a phone booth that comes up from the ground. I mean, you do all sorts of really cool shit.
26:31
My wife was wondering if she should buy this game tomorrow. What should I tell her? I really enjoy this game. And I'll tell you this. If you're in a mode that requires comboing the flow on this thing... You see this ramp? This ramp doesn't look like it's easy to hit. It's like it's got an effing magnet in it, bro.
26:51
I really enjoy this pin. And Lyman's the one programming it, so... again i don't i don't get a cut of any pinball sales i like this game games that piss me off black knight hurts my feelings more than any other pinball machine in the studio bill and ted would need a rufus yeah the targets don't actually say iron and man because license Oh yeah, it was supposed to say Iron and Man originally.
27:29
I didn't expect to like this game, but got to play in LE last week and loved it. Yep. GB is another one, I'm sure. I love Ghostbusters. That game hates my guts, but I love it for that reason. If that makes sense.
27:46
I thought that was Dolly. No, Dolly. I played a good Dolly. and it was just the dolly we had sucked an actual whole butt.
27:56
I don't even know who owned that game. Was that Gavings? That thing sucked. Ooh, nice cricket bag. Oh, man, I'm getting the frickin' caroms all day. Oh, nice thing!
28:14
Ball two locked! Also a very safe dead flip out of this. Karen's all dead, yes. All these fairies. That's what we like to call in the industry a.k.a. dead flip, a slingshot. When the ball just... You're a grand champion, like a steer! When you think it's got the momentum.
28:52
And it just doesn't trigger the sleep shot. Great! Ernie McCracken, thanks for the vids. Uh, protocol, thank you for the vids. Molly, this is for you, buddy.
29:05
Looking for the last sub, and you're the one that gifted him out. I'm gonna go get another drink. I'll be right back.
