Alright, here we go. Hello mate! What's up, pin? Uh, alright, let's get that loot. Do they even make them anymore? Yes? Question mark? Skill shot collected! I'm already breaking my own rule on what modes to play first. Um, cause I was not paying attention. But let's just roll with it, huh? Okay, see you, balls. You're an IT guy at a small school? Hey, heck yeah.
0:39
That's awesome. I'm not an IT guy. Oh, that almost did the thing by itself. Big slap. All right, halfway through Quill.
1:01
Shoot him in the back? Also, that call-out is okay. Homer, you're also IT and do 3D printer suit? Well, look at us.
1:20
Just coming together. Girl, you just don't realize what you do to me when you hold me in your arms so tight. All right.
1:36
I, too, have a 3D printer. She just loves the music. It's a great game. I'm high on... Pause. Why didn't he go in? that you're in love. Alright, we're going to use... The multiball's close. So what we're going to do is use the multiball for one of the harder modes. Probably not to wrap up Quill, but like Sibling or something. Your printer's just collecting dust? No!
2:08
Pour another cup of wine. I missed because I'm awesome at pinball. Tater, did I know that about you? I think I did. Wait, you don't work for that Satan's Toe Company, do you?
2:25
Alright, here we go. What's the one with too many shots? Podchase. You! I swear. this game sometimes just does the worst to you we didn't really have anything too much going for us though so we're okay we're gonna use the multi-ball you need to learn 3d printing it's actually uh just from the standpoint of like someone else set it up for me it's not that complicated to use but from a standpoint of like maintaining and stuff like that, I don't know that stuff yet. So that's why I'm glad y'all are here.
3:19
I'm going to need some help. Lips as sweet as candy. Something, something stuff. All right. Every ball game. Come on, bro.
3:40
I was hoping that would work, and it almost did. There's so many good entry-level printers and channels dedicated to it.
3:53
Right, I don't want channels. I want people I know to help me do cool stuff. I've apparently regressed and I forgot how to play pinball, so my apologies to anyone that voted yes that I'm going to do this.
4:10
I knew that was a dangerous shot. Alright, we're going to do this on one ball. Oh, the extra ball's lit.
4:18
We're going to make it happen. This is the Hail Mary, ladies and gentlemen. There's the extra ball. Alright, we need two shots. You can do it, you can do it.
4:39
There's too many shits. No, there isn't. Yeah, you are. Boom! You made it. Go in the lane. Go in the lane. Where are you going? There you go.
4:54
There you go. There you go! Alright, we're back in it, baby. We're back in it. I've been printing parts for my Death Racer lately. What the hell is a Death Racer?
5:22
I want a Death Racer. He said Silver Ball. Do you like resin quality prints? Is resin the weird chemical printing?
5:47
Upgrade. We do not want to shoot inside of Antiquities again. My culture. Oh, get them. Damn it. All right. the reason we don't want to shoot in there is uh it's going to start a multi-ball resin has insane detail yeah but those chemicals whoo there's something all right so we're going to start another hard mode we're doing this sort of backwards than what i'm used to just because i i started backwards so pods aren't meant to be out here in a second we're going to be in the same boat.
6:34
I got an idea. We're going to use it for Quill. Then we're going to shoot into here. That's going to start a multi-ball. We finish Quill. We come out of it. We finish Antiquities. We come out of it. All right, we're there. We're doing the math, Internet.
6:58
We got the math figured out. Okay, Groot's multiplied. Now we just need to shoot anything that is yellow.
7:17
There it is. You have been ravaged, your gob. Okay, that was good. Okay, two more. There's another name you might know me by. Star-Lord? The Legendary Outlaw?
7:37
I love that shot. You Star-Lord, man. Legendary Outlaw. You got double scores! The lunatic holding the flip-a-button Got it.
7:49
So, now that that's done... Dun-dun-dun-dun. so if we could put a ball there you go no credit for that hello why not we want the super jackpot so that means uh orb multi-ball is completely finished and ready for the main wizard mode.
8:29
Everything we're doing right now, though, isn't really advancing us. It's just giving us points, so we're just going to drain this.
8:39
Okay, moving on. Let's finish Antiquities. Now we can hit this guy with Impunity. Knowing we're not going to start anything. Oh, that's it. That mode's done. Okay, moving on.
9:03
Boom. Okay, and let's do Yaka. Following on Facebook now, too. We go DB. I appreciate you, bud. Thank you. You got any more trinkets like this one?
9:13
Yeah, I'm excited to get in on some three-dimensional printing soon. He's being fully serious. excrement.
9:30
No, you paparoach. Love this table. Did they change the audio on the modes? No. These quotes here. Oh, my God.
9:48
Alright. Alright, let's wrap this up. We just gotta finish this mode and get to Cherry Bomb. Make everyone feel good about themselves.
10:03
That's coming back. Alright, we're good. I don't know. Wait, don't Pops give you credit in this? I gotta stop shooting that, because we're gonna get our butts handed to us. Hopper Roach is a good one Okay, timed out, that's fine We're just going to put it back in We're going to put it back in We just need these two shots also For Hadrons, if we can get that We can probably cheat our way to finishing it Jack, saw your target action figure post Are you a nerd collector like me? I used to be But I always go to the toy aisle No matter where I go and I turned around and I was like there a million He toys right here Okay we need four shots
10:56
Three shots. Oh, that ball save just saved our butts. Come on, give me the last shot and it pops. Importantly, how much will they pay for it? I got an idea. Because this is about only getting Cherry Bomb, let's try to bring the multi-ball in to finish it up.
11:27
We need one shot, actually. There it is. All right, done. Cherry Bomb's lit. We got to sink the shot. If we could put it in the scoop, yuppers.
11:37
If we could put it in the scoop. Ball, hello? We put it in the scoop. It's a GG. Come down the right, please. Oh my god, I love you.
11:51
Breathe, internet. This is literally down to one shot. If this is a make it or don't. You ready? Ready?
12:02
Nonsense, Ravager! Time to die! Let's go, B! suck it I can't be stopped I also can't seem to make any shots where are all my hadrons dude let's go
12:37
can I get rampage 2 please shoot the rocket raccoon shot there it is wait is that it are we too exploring i can't tell okay can we put a ball in there can we put a ball in there Yeah, I can't.
13:10
Yes! What was that word? 340! Yo, internet, can someone clip that for me, please? That would be wonderful. Thank you.
13:34
not even 500 million oh man feels good feels good feels good all right let's keep this train rolling sanctuary the hardest of the easies yo hope everyone won pretty big on that ball save is lit upgrade I don't know what the upgrade does in this mode does it just give you more time or something did we just get two right off the rip like that was awesome
14:30
Stop hitting that, Lamao. There you go. How many shots? One? Welcome aboard, kid. Who is that? It's me, AJ. Yo, AJ, what's up, baby? I'm Ellie.
14:47
I'm sorry. Hi, AJ. It's me, Jack Danger. Okay, we got one shot. Oh, my gosh. Tell me we got time. Six seconds? You hit something! Stop! Come down! Oh my god! You do... Oh my... Did we get it last second?
15:13
We got internet on the grace period. On the frickin' grace period. Oh. On the grace period, we got it. Sorry, Jake, but I have to take off, man. Hey, don't sweat it, DB. I appreciate you hanging out, and thank you for sharing your community with us. Hopefully we'll see you and the crew here again soon.
15:41
Appreciate it, buddy. The unstoppable danger. Oh, we got another extra ball there. Let's go. Remember when this game started off absolutely terrible?
15:58
All right, now because Groot is one shot away, we're going to do sibling. Bam. Drop the device immediately and retreat to yourself.
16:21
Groot. Barf balls. Okay, we need the super duper jackpot here. Oh, this is tough. This is a tough mix because it's literally all the shots are green, so it's hard to know what's a mode shot versus what's a group shot.
16:48
Did I just get the super? Not the super duper, though. Okay, keep hitting that. It's lit. Uh. Did that just use my ball save but not give me a fallback?
17:22
Okay. Keep that ball alive. Did we finish the mode? Oh, we did. Hell yeah.
17:35
Why is that ramp worth 20 million points? Oh. Sorry for the moaning. Ooh, that felt good. Let's save nowhere for last.
18:04
Crap, we still don't have a solid group, which is not good. Are you involved in the invitational? What invitational?
18:16
There's an invitational? Oh, the shoopies? Uh, that's a secret. That's a secret. I forgot if there's the lanes, too. Those things.
18:38
If the game will let you slap, then slap. But this tilt can be a bit of a butthole. All right, we got to shoot up top. Alright, fall through the lane. No, don't come back! Oh my gosh. Does upgrade give me anything? It doesn't give you anything.
19:14
Okay, we need this. We need this. Don't roll! Where are you? Oh, thank you. Okay, we just got to hit rocket. This will carry over, though, so we're good. Homegrown, what's up?
19:35
So we got to... Oh, we almost cheated it. That Gamora ramp really wants our attention, huh? We're getting a lot of these shots 2x'd also.
19:55
All right, so we need the weapon of my own. Great. As long as you're counter-slapping, oh, big points. were one shot away, and you can't use a Hadron Enforcer for... You can't use a Hadron Enforcer for the shot, so... There it is.
20:36
All right, one more shot. That was a mistake. How many warnings do we have? I feel like we've played this ball for a while. I definitely saw one early on. No! Oh, frickin' poops! We could have used this for nowhere. I'm a butthole.
20:57
Oh. Oh. Okay, magnet. Hello. We don't need to play with orb at all. Like, we have orb done. It's like finished finished.
21:13
But we can use this to up our multipliers some more. If you can get everything multiplied, then there's a roving 3x shot, which is pretty cool But we can also use this to get some hadrons going to bring into the next mode So that shot double
21:44
Alright. Magnets, dude. How? How do they do it? Not good. Bleep bleep magnets, how do they work? Oh, I don't like this. I don't like this.
22:22
Alright, I don't want the mystery because it's going to give us an add-a-ball. Um, here's what I'm going to do.
22:30
We're going to try to cradle separation, put a ball in the left flipper. Or just keep doing that. What we don't want... That's fine.
22:42
What we didn't want was to shoot that mystery, because it would have given us an add-a-ball, and we don't want that.
22:49
All right, here we go. Not good. On the fly? Oh, yeah. All right, we're going to nowhere. We need group done.
23:02
And that's like getting bashed before rock or whatever the terminology is. Welcome aboard, kid. Welcome abroad, kid.
23:19
Don't forget to smash that like button, y'all. Y'all. Yo, David, what's up, my guy with the 19? I appreciate you, baby. David, how you doing, bud?
23:33
Alright, there. Done. Immolation initiative is lit. So, here's what's cool. The first main wizard mode is ready.
23:43
And the second main wizard mode is only being held up because we don't have a super-duper jackpot on Groot.
23:52
So, transfer, get to immolation, and absolutely poop on this game. If we... I'm just going to put this out there in the world. First off, David, thank you again. If we can sink this ball with the way that we have this play field set up, we are going to decimate this score.
24:13
Okay? Only if we hit this shot. If we don't... I have so many pins. What certain pins inspire you? I don't know. All of them have little quirks that I love, you know?
24:29
Let's get that loot. We do have to hit shots, though. I'm trying to make sure I get all of my... Every single shot is multiplied also.
24:49
And we need to hang on to... Alright, everything's lit. Yeah, and 2x scoring. Okay. So we're going to start getting like Vuku bucks for stuff, alright?
25:11
But it's roving. Now what we don't want to do is use our Hadrons unless we drain down to like one ball, okay? It's a secret. And if you have trouble hitting shots, put the ball up into the pops. Okay? Got to have my pops on this.
25:42
What's the shot that we need? Oh, yaka, which I'm not just going to hit casually here. There we are. Never mind. I hit it casually.
25:55
There we go. Keep yourself alive. Okay, I screwed myself on that one. Double time actually. That's a ball safe. We're good. Proceed with decimation. Okay, when I have to trap up, that means we're in a bad spot. Okay, so we need to...we should just be playing wildly at all times. Trapping up means we did something...we're not doing something right. Okay, we gotta hit rocket. Okay, now we have a troop. And we need some more Hadron enforcers. I need some more Hadrons, please. Thank you. Okay, someone fall into Pretty Boy's hole there. It's a pretty boy hole They were good Everything's good Okay, we need hadrons Hadrons, all day hadrons Alright, we're in trouble, internet We're down to two balls, no hadrons This is actually trouble Oh my goodness gracious, that was the luck we deserve.
27:58
Yes, and we're back into Hadron territory. Okay, we're good. We got the Hadrons. Alright, we got double scoring again.
28:13
Alright. Stain the pops, stain the pops. Okay, that's not what we needed. I don't know what that's going to do. Add more time, I'll take it.
28:30
That's a ball save. Okay, we're good, we're good, we're good, we're good, we're good. We need more Hadrons, please. Please, please, please. More hadrons, more hadrons.
28:50
Okay, hadrons, hadrons, hadrons. Please, please, please. Okay, nailed that shot. Got to hit it again, like that. Then you shoot group.
29:04
For big money whambo-jambos. Okay. Are we doing it, Internet? Are you not entertained? Too bad I don't have Insider plugged in on this thing.
29:31
And that's the end of the run. Okay So now we just need Groot And we are not close Breathe Emulation initiative is better than Save Xandar. I agree.
30:06
Because Save Xandar ends. You know? Immolation is just chilling. Welcome aboard, kid. Who is that? Jack, thanks for 22 months of flippers and buffs. 22 months? You mean 22 years? Yo, Arthur, thank you, my guy. I appreciate it. Take the screenshot, upload to Pinside. Oh yeah, the old-fashioned way. No way, dude.
30:32
I didn't mean to double flip just then, but we're good. Hell yeah, we got Hadron. All of my multipliers are gone. No! This bonus is going to be disgusting.
30:50
Let's crack one. Let's crack one for the bonus. Woo! Just a chill half a billion. What do you have an IV hanging from your waist? Welcome aboard, dude. Oh, this? This is hand sanitizer, bro.
31:13

I didn't want that ball anyway Groot No you do not No, pause Groot, accept this ball I swear to god if I drain right now I'm unplugging the game It is to me I got a warning I'm so angry oh no his mouth froze halfway closed
33:29
I don't want this multiball anymore so we're going to time it out Oh, this is gonna... I was gonna move the game, but I'm not gonna do it.
33:51
We're draining this on purpose so that I can... Alright, this is it. One shot. One kill. Let's take a drink real quick. It's for the YouTubes.
34:06
Let me tell you now. Uh-oh. First real game of the night. Lol. So this mode sort of works the same way As Immolation a little bit You just gotta hit every shot a couple of times And then call it a day And Hadrons will help Get you to where you want to go
34:50
We got an extra ball I think Nope, that was just the eyes coming on for some reason. Okay, this is not good. Uh, hello? I'm supposed to save the galaxy, bruh.
