Yeah, those are okay because the one I've been playing is different ramps and what I did Left hook around this one. Yeah, shot it up with the Talon Cut ramp and guess it corked it a little bit too hard because it shot off. Oh wow, I've never seen it fly off a ramp. Yeah, this one right when I hit this corner because I came around on the skill shot, super skill shot and shot it off. Interesting. We did put new balls in this and we did create it recently so that really has something to do with that. That's a good, plays a lot better than the one I've been playing. A lot faster. Yeah. Cleaning. Cleaning. We just kind of waxed everything a little bit. The only one that's a little dirty is World Cup, but we're deciding if we buy it. The guy that let us borrow it was like, do you want to buy this? Yeah, we want to buy it. Yeah, I do. He's asking $29.50. That's not unreasonable. It's pretty good. It's all LED, all good working. Like I said, I just got to scrub the dirt off. Yeah, I just did the LEDs to Diner. I'm in the process of getting the kit for Bash and stuff and doing that final monster Bash. Yeah. That's fun. Do you have the color D&D for that? No. Are you ready? It's live. Oh, I haven't really done anything. You should probably. No, as of like a minute ago. I just clicked. Oh, you just walked in. All right. Let me hit the restroom and I'll be ready. Go be it. My official start to this so I can stay here all day. Just make sure you stay here all day. Okay. Oh, man. Dude, if you want beer, we have stuff in the fridge. I'm okay for now. I got a two-hour drive on the way. Oh, well, there's that, too. So what am I doing on this game? Do you know? Oh, yes. Oh, yes. So... Quick one through. Here we go. You're going to plunge with this. Have you played this at all before? No, that's what I'm saying. Just quick basics. So this is your chute. Got it. That's going to kick it all the way around. Got it. And your primary objectives are lock it in here three times. Lock the ball, yep. Or if you can manage this shot on the fly, this long cast. Okay. What you do is when you shoot it all the way around, it progresses your captive ball here. Okay. It starts off with hold bonus, then it moves to video mode, then rock the boat. So that's how you move your captive ball. So if you get that twice and it lights up video mode, if you hit the captive ball twice, video mode's back there. Okay. What you have to do is shoot this left orbit back in there. Okay. The whole video mode's played with this button right here. Okay. You're essentially just shooting boaters that go by. Okay. Pretty simple. You don't want to waste your bullets. How bad of a drain shot is that? It's terrible. Okay. That's what it looked like. It's like dead center. It's a captive. Anything boat related is freaking ridiculous. Rock the boat is shooting any of these ramps or the captive ball gives you 10 million every time you hit it. Okay. In a timed thing. So you can get like, you know, 70, 80 million. Q compound? Can you do the multiball and some of the, like, those? Yeah, you can get multiball and rock the boat and stuff like that going. Obviously, video mode won't do anything. Then there is... Can you build towards the video mode during the multiball, or don't know? I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Sorry, I play a lot, so it's knowing these or if you don't know. You'll get video mode way before you get multiball, I promise you. Then, so the jackpots are caught by, once you start your multiball, start spitting them out of here it'll come down and shoot them out of this you know rail there what you need to do is to get a jackpot you have to lock a ball up then it'll light the video mode that's your jackpot okay so you have to lock a ball then shoot it up yeah now if you lock a ball then lock another ball that's double jackpot if you make it up there okay so you can okay cool um and if you collect three jackpots then super jackpots are lit okay and every time you hit that cap the ball in the middle hard enough to go all the way up to the top, it's a hundred million every time you hit that shit. But it is not easy. Sorry, it's just one of those, like, the guy just got Pirates of Caribbean at the local place, and I go, just explain it to him. He goes, why? Every time I explain it to you, you say I have a score. Well, that's fair. That's it? You know all the tricks. Yeah, beginner's luck on a machine actually goes a lot further than knowing what you're doing, man, I gotta say. Sometimes it does, it does. It's nice to have an idea, but there's nothing that beats just keep the ball in play. exactly exactly yeah I guess that's that's really it like right on the plunge to shoot your locker do your long cast here chapter your just for those to know couple basic for you started definitely jaded your own your mobile man hope you're ready to fucking kill shit so the one I play as plastic around of it he takes care of his case with his Twilight Zone, this plastic piece is cracked off, so anytime it goes near there, it just kicks it out. It's like, oh, great. So just so you know, this is the microphone picking up everything. You're louder when you're closer to the game. That's the camera on us. This is the camera on the play field, and this is the DMD camera. We are currently live, and if you want to see what people are saying, it will be in that big window on the right there. I put it on a setup like this at the expo. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Good old Expo. God, there was some lady there. We streamed the Walking Dead release party at Expo. Oh, did you? That was you guys at? Yeah. Oh, God. So I was there. Oh, all right. I was there. I saw you guys around with the sweatshirts and stuff. I think I played with some of you guys in the back. I was wearing, like, some stupid biker vest that said Dead Flip on it really big. I think I played with you guys in the back room on Wizard of Oz is what it was. It was, like, a line for it because it was the only one that worked earlier in the night. Oh, that could be. That could be. Well, alright, let's... Anyway. Good evening, pinheads, and welcome back to Dead Flip Pinball. Today is day two on Fishtails. We have a guest. His name is Dan. Hey, how's it going? Dan, what would your last name be? Krosky. Krosky? Yeah. Oh, right on. He came all the way from almost Wisconsin. And he's going to whoop our ass tonight, which is going to be fantastic. I doubt it. You never know, man. I've never played this before. We've played this many a time, so that doesn't mean anything. Pinball has its little nuances. Regardless, Nick will be joining us here in a bit. I'm Jack Danger, and we're just going to get right into a couple practice games so Dan can feel this thing out and see where we can go. So here we go. We'll switch this bad boy over. Warm. And let's... looks like the cameras are all good. This is such a hacked together setup dude, but I don't know, outside of spending like $40,000, I don't know how else anyone would do this. Well you guys know the tech enough and you're good enough with the audio visual equipment. I just look at it and go uh-uh. Yeah, I'm not touching that. I'm not touching that. Alright, so we'll drop that down a little bit. The gain is good. Yeah, I think we're great man. So fire it up, let's get some games going. Just four clear it up? Yeah, just put in two for now. There you go. Also, for, like, shooting the lock shot right off the bat, like you saw, you get two million points for a fast cast. Okay. Come on. Roll it. There you go. You want to combo those ramps back and forth. You want to get them left to right. Like that. So, once your combo leaves enough, it's going to start a thing called Monster Fish, where you want to shoot that left orbit, because it'll start ticking down, but it'll yell at you. You'll hear like a growling monster fish. Nice. Come on, get around. Yeah, those are hitting deep back there, though, for a lock back. Now that I'm on the game a little bit, it's like, oh, those are deep there. Yeah, man. There you go. Jaden, why are you watching this on your cell phone, man? I don't understand. You're going to eat up all your data plan. So there's also... If you get this thing rocketing around this long cast and then you get another one, when that comes around, it typically hits this white rubber right here and shoots it right down the side. Sometimes you can backhand this shot, I'm not sure. No, it's not cooperating. Oh, let's try it again. Nope, never mind. Alright, here we go. All the way around. So So this is the video mode. So anything on the screen, just annihilate it. You want to save your bullets so you're not missing at all. And then a big BS goes by, and that's worth 20 million points. That one missed shot lost me like 10 million. million because you get points for it. Okay. Sort of like the bullets on Dracula, just you want to save as many as you can. Oh, you son of a bitch. The fish finder is like a mystery award thing. It starts with four million and then it goes to, because we have this on tournament settings, like advances Captain Ball or some shit like that. I can't remember. It just won't spot all the extra balls. Right. And extra ball in this game is absolutely just off. It doesn't even give points. Oh, it's just no points even? Right. It's just completely off. I'm not sure why that's a thing. Maybe the points for extra ball thing wasn't set up. Oh, you are just missing everything, man. Backhand. There we go. What's this? This is on par with No Good Gophers in terms of fuck this fucking game frustration for me. Right on, man. This game can be a bit of a pain in the ass sometimes, that's for sure. Donate to kids. Don't swear. Aw, of course. The second you take your mind off the game, it's over. Okay. Kill it, bro. Oh, she's making sense. Nice. Nice. So you're one lock away and also if you hit the...oh it's gonna kick it out because there's already a lock. Beautiful. Alright, get in the caster clip which goes to the lock and then up top for your jackpots. Yup. Oh, that was fantastic. Fantastic. Thank God for that. Alright, our video mode is lit. So whenever you're done with this... Straight into video mode? Yep. Alright, spinner Because you have that monster fish thing Which was the combo ramps Yeah, I gotta come back the other side Come around Yeah, the monster fish starts at Iggy Dodo, what's up buddy? Thanks for coming It starts at 20 million and starts ticking down But you don't have to complete a shot You just gotta spin that spinner one. If you can delicately backhand it and it doesn't go all the way up, you'll at least collect the money. Oh, F you. Also, we typically don't have ball saves on, but we have one on for this because this game is a bit of a punisher. What's up, Anthony? If I can freaking slap save this. Jesus. Slap saving my ass off here. Oh, of course. Oh, boy. What the hell was that? What the hell was that? I'm hooked on this game. Yeah, Beer Snobbery. Fishtails is a classic. You know, a lot of people actually don't like this game, which is interesting. It's brutal. It's a brutal game, especially with lightning flippers. So I can see... Whoa. Oh, that kicked off the rubber. Oh, yeah, that. Spinning around there. There you go. Alright, shoot anything that moves. Got it. Also feels like a little claustrophobic, like the layout, but I actually used to not like this game a lot either. And then in the last, I guess after we got one in the studio, I started really... I think that's what it took was getting one in the studio for sure. Lead it, lead it, lead it! Whatever. There's 11 million. There's nothing. That was weird. Are you sticking around late enough to do the tournament? At Emporium? There's a tournament off the road about a mile away from here. Oh, is there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's at Whopper Points where it is. It's a monthly bar tournament at a place they have like 13 games, I think. 12 games. I didn't know that. Yeah, man. It's tonight at like 7, 730. definitely get over there after this and play some play some more man play some more the more the merrier now the more people show up the more the more the more it's worth the more it's worth so come on by man I don't think I'm doing anything and I'm talking to uh the guy that runs it to try to talk him into doing a two out of three turn it instead of one and done one and done and that way I mean that way I think it'll be more fun for everybody one and done if someone gets a stream involved with the way and they might be It comes out one ball for the first floor. Or even worse, maybe you really aren't the best, but you should go up against the winner in the first round and just, like, get destroyed in one game. You know, like, somebody's going to win anyway and have no chance. Come on. Get the... Are you effing kidding me right now? Come on, Jug. Don't make the kid. Come on, J-Dog. Come on, Jug. All right, let's battle it up. What do you say? I'm ready. I say I'm ready. Practice. 2-1-0? Let's just have fun. Let's go. Deal. No battles? Flip or stop working. Yeah, fine. Whatever. I'll put scores on these. Here we go. Well, let me see how good I do on this ball. That's always the key. Dan, Nick, and Jack. So how we're going to do this is you get two points for first place. One point for second place, zero point for third place. We're going to play through like an hour and whoever has the most points literally gets false points. And port. Port. Abort. Man, where's the plumb out of this thing? He got two dangers out of it, that's for sure. Oh, I almost got it. You know what's funny is you moved it too far back. I did? Swip. Oh, I see. There you go. Yeah, we're good. Alright. Do we're done? Yeah, I'll swip that over. Swip. Uh, kill it, buddy. Pew pew! Tilt, Jaden, tilt! So we're at five tilts. Oh, man! Jaded. Try it. By the way, he's bright. Arizona. I don't like that. I don't like that either. I don't like any of that. I don't want to rack up your games. This one's a little easier to move because it's jacked up on a piece of wood back there. It just slides a little bit easier. My feet are all rusted. Yeah, so we have to trick it. I mean, honestly, we have our tilt pretty good. So, you know, it's not going to let you. Like 10 knots, I tried to beat that. Oh, dude, you have to hit it to a point, man. You've got to shake it around. You get one good save on this one. Just, you know, no death saves, no coffin drops, and we won't have a problem. Nibble's made to shake. There are collectors though where they're, you know, super uptight about, like, oh you tilt it. Yeah, well there's a tilt for a freaking reason. Well, so, I just tell them, take your tilt. Set your tilt real high so it tilts really easy. Exactly. If you don't want people to tilt. If you don't want to tilt, set your tilt high. If you don't want people to tilt, make them tilt. Alright, here we go. Folky! 30 minutes and 5 tilts. Yeah. Oh, you're carrying 5 tilts over from yesterday. Yeah, I getcha. We've got a gentleman in the chat that likes to keep track of all the terrible shit we've done on these pinball machines. I think we hit about 30 plus tilts on Arlen Blowtrodder. You got that in here? Oh, nice. Yeah. Come on, money! Yeah, people donate the game. This game was donated for the stream. That's also just coming here on Microsoft. Yeah, dropped it off. Most of them are ours by now. Like, Fiskale's here so far. The world's not going anywhere. The version's on the phone. Oh, fall in. The world's probably not going anywhere. And Fiskale's been here for about two years. Long-ish. Yeah. Oh, fun! That was a fun baby flip! Dude, that was the teeniest baby flip I've ever done in my life. It was like a tap pass on a newer game. Whoops. Tap pass on a DMD. Not a thing. What are you strategically dreaming for? Because I'm trying to hit the casters. The caster. Oh! You got robbed, by the way. It went in there. Wow! Alright, folks. Committed to kill. Yeah, sorry, man. No ladies today. We hit our lady quota yesterday. One. Two, actually. We had two ladies on yesterday. Didn't feel like being a girlfriend. Yeah, not a lot of people. That's all right. Well, I'll tell you that. Coming back. Coming back, Internet. There you go. There you go. Coming back, Internet. Yeah. Get out of there. Shake him out. Ooh. Nice. Rattle. All the way around. There you go. Precisely. You're all the way up to... Ah. Duh. Oh. Duh. What animation is that? Just a fish eating a pinball? That's just a fish eating a pinball. Is that a drain animation? It's an outlaying drain animation. Outlaying drain? Outland Drain-O-Mation. Drain-O-Mation. Alright, let's do some here, folks. Hey, come on. Can you... Can you... Practice scores or... Can you help me out here, bud? Oh. Uh... J-Dub? What'd you call me? J-Dub. J-Dub. Oh, my lord. I cannot find the caster club shot. Well, any shot, really. Maybe that's... Maybe that's why people don't like this game as much. Like, the doink shots don't... You freaking shit monster. Oh, man. The doink shots don't make any noises. I feel like... I feel like I like games where the doink shots go... Right, you hear, like, a little cug noise or some sort of, like, little... Like a trigger that you knew you screwed up. Who invented that? So, who... Oh, we're burning, buddy. What was the earliest game that had... that they replaced the post with, like, the little hit targets, like ACDC, Metallica. Yeah. Twilight Zone has, like, those little ones everywhere. Tron has them for spelling. All the new ones do, but, like, there's a... You know what Monster Bash has, man? Yeah, Monster Bash has them. Monster Bash turned them into fan flipper. Roadshow has them. Yeah, Roadshow has them. Twilight Zone has them. But some year around here, they decided to replace just big old rubber posts that don't do anything with targets that you hit them. And they at least do something, at least make a noise, you know? Yeah, make a noise. Yeah, make a noise. You know what? Actually, with earlier games, like Whirlwind, Whirlwind has those, but those were actually things to go for. Oh, yeah, that's right. The north, south, east, west. All right. I want to get video mode and rock the boat and maybe just hit the boat instead of going for that multiball, because that was pretty... It was dangerous. Pretty bad, folks. Alright, your bonus is held. You're all the way up there. Oh no. Oh no. How big was it? Oh, he got it. Whoops. What do you mean, what's the hitage? I didn't get the second one. That'll cost you. Two misses. one oh I thought that front one was gonna scream I like the slowdown when you get the big score it's like it can't handle it can't handle the points Mega Man or something what we doing I'm on two dangers folks I'm gonna wait for the ball check bullshit bullshit I'm gonna go for the go to boat Nicholas I think it's on a bumper, right? Yep. It's gonna, you know, switch it so I is open. Aw, that's nice of you, buddy. Really? Switch that on and get your multiplier. Yep. Aw. Sharts. That was sweet of you. Thanks, buddy. Yeah, no sweat. I'll, uh, I'll fix the game on the ball. We'll switch it afterwards. The angles? Yeah. Oh, don't do it. Oh, okay. Right on. Yeah. Did you drive again? Nope. But I have a mess of work to do still before I go to that. Oh, yeah. You go to your painting. Yeah, stupid art craft. Oh, you're not up there. Oh, no. Oh, no. Roared. Eye-opening strategy. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe it's the strategy, the video mode strategy. Yeah. I'm going right for the Vigimo. Do you think we could replace all of our lockdown bars, our ACDC lockdown bars? Ding dong bullshit. Just to have a button there to hit? It's so nice having a button there, man. Oh, is that the launch button right there? It's the launch button. There's a VFB pass, kind of thing you can hit, so you can move the ball and get the ball back with that. There's so many cool things you can do with it. You play ACDC enough, and then all of a sudden, every other game is like, I don't have a button. It needs to have that button when you're in emergency. Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh. Uh-oh. You're a thug. We are the customer of the blue ball, and all of a sudden it drains out, and you want it back. It's every time. I want it on every game, because it's so fun. Nice, triple. We're thugs, folks. Aw. Aw. This one. Aw. Two. That might do me in there, folks. It did me in. Yay! No, I gave up. Yay, no big score. No big score. Well, now I actually have to play forever. You got to keep playing, buddy. I think Rock the Boat might give me what I need. Yeah, Rock the Boat. A few good shots on Rock the Boat. If we can get our hands on it. Rock the boat will give you a... Dude, I just got freaking robbed on the lock. Lock shot? Mm-hmm. Oh screw you Oh points Dude shooting at that is such a nightmare Alright folks Jack gonna get the uh Nick gets two points. The points settled. Nick gets two points. And I get two sets. Alright, let's keep this train rolling. Winners go first? Winners go first, I will go first. Feels good to be a winner. Feels good to be a winner. Oh boy. Oh, Rob. I'm getting robbed out of there, too. I don't know what the hell's going on. Oh, you turn. No, it's clean. All right. Pardon me. Yeah, let's get that new lock bar, man. Admiral Lock Bar. Oh, dude, I'm getting robbed. Oh, give me that back. Give me that back. Give me, give me, give me, give me. You see. It's probably part of both of our favorite games. I just got it. It was fun when I played it. It's just the problem is with new games where you don't know what you're doing half the time, and also you're like, why did I start this? Where is this coming from? And ACDC's the worst because it's got the weirdest, most complicated rules you can think of. Oh. But that's what makes it probably a game you play the most still. Because you can play it like 20 different ways, if not 100 different ways. Different ways to backdoor in this stuff. Just, uh, yeah, I mean, your scoring can be different completely depending on your song. And, uh, if you want to figure out how to blow it up with only Thunderstruck, or figure out how to... Do we program it so we can get to that final mode? Because I want to play that mode. Just to practice it? Encore? Yeah, just to play it. I don't even want the name on it. I just want, like, the way the Twilight Zone is. Yeah. You know? Yeah, that's right. All right, nobody really took off there on the first ball. Nobody got anything. Let's see what we can do here. We didn't have a lot of ball to do, right? That's a positive. Oh, my God. It gave me the ball back. Two dangers and a ball save. That's a TV show. Oh, man, I'm not happy about that. Oh my god. Okay, I don't think anyone's making that lock shot. Is there something in there? I hit it. No, I put it in there. Oh, you did? That thing's been breaking. I used to shoot it real slow and just block it in there. No, it looks clean. You got one. Yeah, he's got one in there. It looks clean. All right, I am far behind here, kids. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Good save. Putting it back. That is a little... Uh-oh. I'm getting robbed in this game. You over-rebellion out there, buddy? Nope. Yeah, just barely. I don't know. You snuck over. This is going to have to be Supreme Video. Where are these toothpicks coming from? Did you see another one? I only saw two. Toothpick's terrible at it. Not as bad as mine. Yeah.

I am up first, then you are second. I'm up third. What do you got? We got a... We might have one of those from yesterday that was more dark. Let me see what I got. Thank you very much. Priorities on a famous singer. Wow, we're good. There you go. I unfortunately can't go to the tournament. But Nick will be going. Come on, you son of a bitch. Get in there. Thank you. Good momentum. Here we go. Shit. All the way around. Calm down. Alright, here we go. Alright, one more. Don't drink. Hell yes. There you go. Hell yes. Alright. Into the caster club, up to the jackpot. Let's see if we can make this happen. Drop catch. Alright, we got it. So now I've just got to get it up to the top. Don't fuck each other. Don't eat kids, man. Okay, back in there. Oh, you son of a... bitch. That was brutal. Okay, we need one more for video mode. Missed. Awesome. Good recovery. Thanks, Jay. Stop commentating. It's not talking to you, Charles. Dude, you gotta. Alright, here we go. Okay, that's what we want. Creepy backhands. Shit. I just wasted Rock the Boat, though. Oh, the timer continues? Yeah. That's the shitty thing about that mode. Oh, you did it. Shit, man. I am sucking. Usually I just clear the board on this. Take it. Yeah, it's money. Oh, it did save it. I thought it ran out on you. Uh-oh. This is not good, folks. All right, here come the scores. This is where the scores come. No sound? Oh, Jaded, it's your phone, dude. It just sounds like you're pissing yourself. All right, watch your step when you come over. Yeah, that was beautiful. Just pour them here everywhere. Get. Oh, my God. That bump, though, man. That is awesome. Why did I do that? There we go. Let's get them all, Skifish. All right. Oh, you shit. Shouldn't have thrown that one on the floor. Damn. This will be fun. You got this. Great ball. Do you want to tell them? My man. Good ball, buddy. 150. That's the total score from all games yet. Of every single ball played. Oh, dude. That was like a millisecond too late. Okay, internet. I'm going to try for those jackpots again. Whoa. Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh. Just drop it. Get it out of here, folks. Whoa. Ohhhhhhh! Bonus all day. Nice. Oh, come on! Backhand! Woo! Wow! That was one of my favorite saves of my entire career. My entire adult life. Man, I don't like any of this. Saved an old lady from a fire? That means nothing. That means nothing to me! Oh! Oh! Hey, at least you knew that was on its way out. That ball did not like me the whole entire ball. I think I tired it out. I think there's a cursed ball on every machine. That's the one. The only one in the Twilight Zone. That's the damn Powerball. See, I always played well with the Powerball. It's lighter. Something about getting that ball out, it's instant drain on ours. It throws your game off, I feel. It's lighter or something though. Yeah, it's ceramic so it just moves a hell of a lot faster. It is fast. I learned you just shoot it earlier compared to where you think it should go. Typically we just put it away to get the multiball associated with it. So that you don't have to freaking deal with it. Oh boy, Harry Potter. I thought I had that. I thought I had it. You're saying there's a chance. Definitely a chance. Is that ball brief? It's two. You had a great ball one and then I didn't do anything. Oh my god, baby! There you go. God, that feed off of that rubber, dude, we have a figure. The feed, if that ball's going too fast and it comes out a little bit, it just kicks it right down the center. Didn't used to do that. Alright, let's get fat and tired. Pew! Pew! Is it always 5%? Or they'd stick it right out and put the worm right on the teeth? Oh, that's a great question. I'm not even sure. That will change in a little while, I guess. Ding dong. Forever gas station. Forever gas station? Man, this thing looks a little... a little clean. On the glass? On the uh, the flat field. You're gonna clean it? I'm just gonna do a little bit. Campbell, don't make it look prettier cause he'll crank the price up. No, he already gave me a price. Was it based on how clean the playfield was? Here's what I think I'm gonna do. I don't think it's a higher price thing. I think it's six months if something happens to it. Warranty. Warranty. I like warranties. I like warranties. Because if something happens. I love that shot. For six months, the public court goes out or something. Yeah. Do you do that? That's on you. Do you go to the shoot or do you just do that? Yeah. No. No. He's a professional. Like, this is what he does. he uh that's his company is repairing our case does it all yeah he's uh he's also an operator oh that was trash i just got f'd Because I gave the game to you two months ago. Oh, that's awesome. That's a present. Well, you guys, we did Collectors together. Yeah. We won bid hours. He got rid of . That's the only reason he got rid of all of them. Yeah, that's pretty. But it's a wonderful quarters in there. So we have a dollar on two parts. Yeah, without a market. That's a tough game. That's a weird one. It's a weird one, all right. It's a weird one until you figure it out. You basically just cycle that crypt multiball over and over, and slowly build around that circle. Level. Shit though. No! You're gonna drain right- okay, of course, thanks. Right when I start feeding frenzy, awesome. Alright. Son of a bitch. Come on. There you go. There you go. There you go. Oh, shit. Get in there. That worked out well. He just destroyed all those locks. You're finding those come back. Yeah. Nice job. Get in there quick. Whatever. Okay. Mine's too long. Too long. Okie dokie. This game is weird to play. Yeah. I can't... The shots are... They feel like they move around on you. They do. Yeah. Oh, fuck that. I don't think I did it. I don't think I did it. I think I got last again. No. Did you beat me by 100,000? I beat you by 100,000 points. We suck! Alright, 5-3-1. I don't deserve that second place there. Dude, 100k. What is that? That's half a target. That's a random pick. Immediately drained it twice off that rubber. Flip out. What's the score? 5-3-1. 5-3-1. 5-3-1. Yeah. Just buy that one. That's a Milton Berle. What's a Milton Berle? There you go. Just enough to win. Uncle Carney, what's up, buddy? I was a board guard last night. I ate balls a lot. So it was like when I was... Can we go over to my uncle's house for Christmas? Yeah. When you're 70, you don't realize how spoiled you are. You've got all the locks and, you know, black and white. That's pretty rad, man. There you go. Unfortunately, he had a stroke and sold it without Thomas. Sold the whole line. Oh, no. What? He just had to get rid of it. Oh, no. He would have bought them all. Because they're all in great shape. He rebuilt them. Oh, God. Oh, oh, that's good. And that's the fourth player of the shot. We we put this on the stream and I don't think we swore or tilted so many times ever. Count them tilts. Count them tilts. That was pilot error. Nick Campbell. Oh, he's got the fast cat. Yeah, I figured that shot. few of those uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, 1-3 Mel I need a bomb that would have been so exciting come on nicely done Nice multiple balls. Check it out. There you go. Now I'm starting to get this game. Oh, here we go. Ah. Timing's off on these. Ooh, it's a little weird. They all have their own, like, separate timing. Separate timing. So it looks like it's a million star base and a million per boat. A million per boat? And 20 mil for big stuff? Yeah. But see, I... you can get, like, 60 mil in there, but I don't understand. It's probably a flawless option. Oh, that's probably it. I think I'm up there champ. You are up. You don't miss a target. You don't miss a target. Lawless Victimizer. The old Galaga. Fall in. Fall in please. Fall into the gap. All the way around. Aww, you dummy. Good ball. Good ball. the avoid shot. Yeah, don't hit that. Oh, fudge. Stop screwing me, dude. Alright. Here we go. Pew. Don't move! Don't move! Next going for it is video mode I think. Vigia. Oh, crapped it up there. The soundtrack though. So good. Like a couple actual jukeboxes and all the games are turned right on the jukebox. You just put stuff on the jukeboxes and play. Yeah. Most games don't give you, maybe ACDC and that's how they give you stuff that you want to listen to for a long period of time. Oh, yeah. They also, like these also have that jukebox mode. So you can go play something else and have these blast out the jukebox if you really want it. Oh, no. Okay. That's not a spinner, folks. Does this work? Pee-yump! Oh no, it knows. Oh no! It ain't stupid. Alright, well, there you go. Puh! Puh! Oh, no money. Oh, there it is. Live it. It's just a living, loving. Ah, dude. That ball was not helping you, though. That was a nice slap, though. Too much. Oh, boy. Ah, barf. Dance it off. You doing the half day? Yep. You doing the half day? Oh, good job. You know what? I keep talking to you. What are they coming from? My ass. You got a bottle of toothpaste? I don't know. A bottle of toothpaste. Oh, that's a nice little tip in your mind. Jack minus five. how'd you lose so many points? yeah you got one of those rock the boat stuff 10 mil beat it oh you snagged rock the boat got one 10 mil at the end I gotta blow this up man This is stupid Come on J This is stupid Uh Oh the anger is real folks Uh-oh.

Coming up. Oh my gosh. Alright, Internet. I'm going to go for multiball. I'm going to see if I can swing it. Sure you are. I don't know if video mode looks like it's ready. Wave. He frenzied with the multiball? Figure it out. I'm sorry, I just got a padlock in the temple. Just say the fuck out. It's tough, man. The only saving grace is pinball is so fucking loud that the people that are actually working will die. Yeah, that's true. Go! Chili Gamer. What's up, buddy? Thanks for coming. Once a month. Once a month? Mondays? Tuesday. Tuesday. Oh. Uh-oh. Good shot. By the way, sexy little half-drop pitch there. I don't even know what the fuck that was. Vigit. Ooh. That was almost too much trust. Oh no Oh Oh Beautiful shot Oh You dip, don't miss anymore You don't get any score Oh that was cute That was a rap game Oh I did it again Oh Oh shit Ran out. Doesn't matter. You got that. Got the big one. Baseballers, $20 million. All right. That's a good ball. All right. So three more captive balls up the middle. You'll have rock the boat and multiball. Fun. And hitting it will give you $10 million. Nice trust. I tried! Nice ball. What is that, 130? Times 5. Oh, wait! Come back. Oh, wow. Good grief. 10 mil. Bones. Bones on. Oh, I took last in that one. Oh. Ah! Come on! Good battle, good ball, good ball! Alright, so it's Jack and Nick are tied at five, Dan has two. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. I won. I'll go. Alright. Alright. Coming around. I think so. I'm not sure. The one at the bar doesn't do that. Oh, really? It is also the most updated code. Is it? Yeah. You update this game to reload, you're just tired of the game being beat on the high ground. Yeah, that's fair. Next up, the combo game. Whoopsie. Kill him. Oh, that was interesting. Oh, just missed it. Nice. That was beautiful. Not good. Not good. Oh, God. Chill Gamer, we have Simpsons, the Data E Simpsons, but we do not have Popeye. Gearson, thanks for coming, buddy. Good to see you, man. Yeah, our Simpsons is busted. It just will not turn on. Yo, backhand! Oh, shit. When they die, we move them up. Is that the graveyard? Yeah. Just because we don't like people playing out there. It's too damn loud. Rock and roll. Rock and roll. I don't think I've even played top five before. Popeye. Popeye. Yeah, I've never... Popeye. Love that chicken from Popeye. That's how the theme song goes, I'm sure. Love that chicken from Popeye. Love that chicken from Popeye. Recycling. Recycling. JK. Mom? You would like to see Daddy Simpsons in action? Yeah, we should play it before we sell it. Well, you gotta have him fix it regardless. Why don't we fix it and we'll put a post on it and we'll just play it. Alright, let's play Simpsons. Here we go. Whatever the bug, it worked out. What the lazy ass was that? There's that beat. By the way, you have a beat. And now it's penguin. It's a little mushy. It's hard to listen to the cool bluesy sound. It's like banjos and Metallica together. My ears were... They took banjo. My spectrum was going off a little bit. Stan and I tried when it came up. Thank you too much right now. You got this, dude. Here we go. I score. Brain needs to shut off. It really does. Anything you get good at, you just got to do naturally. I got to talk myself into that every tournament. But I overstart over thinking shit. Jiggles, you almost fucking had it again. Good! Wait. Almost had the jiggles again, buddy. I'm so pissed. I got the jiggles, man. All right. What happened? I'm like shitting the bed all of a sudden. Yeah, me too. But for us, we're playing okay. Oh, man. Oh, you got everything lit. Okay. Four millions. Judge million. Here we go. Four. Four. Oh. Yeah! What? Nice slap. Pew! Oh, sorry. He's got his video mode, kids. That save was a real save. That was a real save. That felt good, folks. Go all the way! Money! Oh! Okay. E-bop! Peel, peel. Oh! Jesus! Oh my god, focus, dude. By the way, you know, or you remember that you can use the flipper to do this too if you feel more accurate with that. I do. I think an electronic button like you're touching is a little more accurate, though. I don't like it. That's gross. Oh, Bart. Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no. Dude, rock the boat, man. Try it, bro. Oh, my God, the boat. Rock the boat, dude! Oh, my God. Ah! Rock the boat! Well, it's over. Oh, wow! Man, that's lucrative mode number two. Get down the toilet. Wow. No boat's been rocked. Damn, dude. Did I get wasted all of a sudden? I missed all my shots. You didn't, dude. I thought so. Yeah. Oh, God. That was the worst. 623. What time's all your... So I got to be in Lakeview by 9. And I also have the army of work to do tonight. What time you wanna hitch the stream? Hitch the stream? Um... Come on, hitch the stream! Well, I don't have time to work no more, so I might as well just run it to the 7. Yeah, just kick me out whenever. Well, it depends on how well you start playing. Yeah. If I've been playing this bad, man... Oh, you have a nursery? Yeah, we have a nursery. Nice. There's a lot of bucks. Shoot three of each different kind of watercraft in video mode, an extra ball will appear to shoot towards the end. Three of each? Is that the rule to get BS? But I feel like... BS is there instead of high. Instead of actual. Oh, so maybe that's what it is. Because you're not missing, you're actually getting three of each. Jason Werdrick, you monster. Thanks, man. Jason! He's a man. Missed the shots and then dropped the phone. Lightweight. Aw, don't pick on Nick. He's great. Swip. Aw, shards. Uh-oh, coming the hard way. We're dropping the shit. Swip. Oh, that was trash. Dirty. That was all trash. Dirty. Dirty, folks. Dirty focus. Mother! Almost threw up with that one, folks. Yeah! Love you. Get your shake ready. Charlie and shake ready. Was that ball three? Mother! Yo! Did I take last again? I hope so. My man. I need to catch it. Why did I not take last? Who won? Who won? That was me buddy. Add em up. 7-3-5 folks. It's anybody's game. It is anybody's game. Boom Shaka. They do like the cabinet on this game though. It's pretty rad. Come on, buddy. Aw. Favo Machine. Chill Gamer, you want to know what our Favo Machine is? Uh, yours is Circuits Will Tear, huh? You know, that's... It's hard to say. Backhand. ACDC is definitely up there as far as, like, games that have come out in the last, I guess, five to ten years. I'd love to get my hands on a Stern Stargazer. I've always liked Maverick just because I was really good at it. Maverick? Yeah. Nick's favorite game is Starship Troopers. These days I've been digging ACDC Metallica. I think the new Sterns these years have been really good, except for Star Trek, of course. Of course. Would you take a Mustang over a Star Trek? Oh, all day. Really? All day. Buddy, I don't know. I don't know if I'd... I'd probably burn both of them. First of all, Star Trek's no good. With a C3DO. I don't like Darth Vader. I don't like any of those characters. Dude, you're going to get beat up. And then... There's like Star Trek nerds are going to find you. Star Wars nerds. The only thing that can bring Star Trek and Star Wars nerds together is my hate. It's hating me. All right, go for it, dude. It is. No, you know what? The more I play Star Trek, the more I like the game. I just haven't had a really great, fun game on it. And I have on Mustang, but just not on the new Star Trek. Or on the old Star Trek, for that matter. Love you, Jason. All right, here we go. Well, there's two old Star Treks. There's the next generation. Well, he worked on that second one. Or helped with it, I think. Wordrick? Yeah, that's the one where he had the flipper codes. Oh, yeah, and it says, thanks, Jason. Or, hello, Jay Swine. It's like, boo-doo-doo! In tournament mode, the video mode will, like, BS instead of EB. Yeah, we got that. We just didn't know, like, how that was coming about. I shook it out, and then it went down the center drain. It wasn't yours to have. It wasn't meant to be. No matter how big. If you love something, brother. Let it go. Let it drain. Let it go. Why do you keep accepting me? I do as well. I think. Okay, sorry. Sorry. Are you burning this fire show? Come on. Come on, man. That means naturally. Let it go. If Twix doesn't accept my natural self, I don't know. I think it's... Stargazer, man. Stargazer is fun. That game... JD, let's find you a Stargazer. I'm sexually attracted to that game. It is so good. He's not talking about the art, either. No, I'm just talking about the gameplay. He wants... Uh-oh, he's coming at you. Oh, nice. Oh, fast cast 4 mil. Alright, let's go in there now. Alright, dad. Oh, what? You're gonna screw each other like that? Oh, almost. You son of a... There it goes! I never heard that quote. Here it comes, there it goes! You mother... French fry... That was... That's about as bad as you can do in that situation. That's a pretty bad multiball, my friend. That wasn't even a multiball. That was a pretty bad multiple ball. I achieved it. Alright, so here's what I'm gonna do. It's a thing I've been trying. Instead of whacking the ball when it comes around, I'm gonna try to catch it. And then hit the video mode while my ball save's still going. Ooh, you don't wanna try a loop pass? Nope. life catch works for you. Just like that. And hopefully the... Oh, barf. Nice. It's off. Okay, what's it going to do? Get up, Dan. Oh my gosh, it doesn't make it. I haven't had any luck. But that was about the closest I've seen. Lord Squeak wants to know if there's There is a wizard mode on this game. There is. It's called Fish Frenzy. Oh, that is the wizard mode? Feeding Frenzy? I thought you just got that. I did. Oh, creeper. Uh-oh. Is there a wizard mode? Yes. You put on a hat and a long beard. Man, the diggadoinks. The diggadoinks. So he's one shot away from multiple. Oh, jeez. Oh, jeez. Oh, God. One of each, kids. No! I think that did him. Nice. I don't trust that. Uh! See, I've been having trouble with hitting it and trying to do the multiples of that little trick. There's just something about because it's a leaf switch instead of a natural like... That save. It's not like you have a bunch of reasons, though. It's actually more of a delay there I guess it doesn't really matter. Oh, no. He still has a chance, kids. Still has a chance. That was some bullshit. That was bullshit. I'll give you that. That was awesome. There's a couple of bullshit here. First, you got all your balls back. You mastered training the multiball. Oh, baby. Ten million. What's he going to do? Hit the fucking boat! Oh, my God. So much money on the table. Two ties, I get rocked the boat. There was so much money on the table. Did I get any? You got one. Yeah. Farts! Rocked the boat! Oh, shit, man. That was tough. Ooh, nice little creep in there. Take that. Ah, Fudge Fudge, Rock the Boat, you know that? Rock the Boat. Rock the Boat. Oh, man. Nice. I don't even know that song, but, like, I know it. Rock the Boat, don't rock the Boat. And I like the Let Me Pooch version. I don't know that one. Ah! Well, I have to hear the original first, though. No, don't. No. Because honestly, it might ruin it for you. I still haven't heard the original, but I know the Let Me Poop one. Did you guys do Russ's fish bonus for ten points? No. What is that? Ten points? I love ten points. Alright, folks, this is... Jason, I need all the ten points I can get on this game. So we're going to go hold bonus. Oh, my life. Oh, boy. What's he going to do, folks? Hold bonus. Got it. Alright, now we need video mode. There it is. Oh my gosh. Love you. You got it. You're moving up. One, two, three. One, two, three. Okay. Uh oh. One, two, three. Alright, so VS should be next. Or something. I don't know. You son of a bitch! Blocking my shot! Oh my god. He blocked my shot. Yo, big money bonus gone. Dude, blocked my shot, bruh. You blocked my shot, bruh. Oh, I'm sorry, man. That's a bar. Dude, fucking water skiers, man. Am I right? Dude, while you're fishing? While I'm fishing, you're like disturbing the fish. man oh shit dammit that's how you rock a boat first off rock a boat when we first got this the fish was working It still works, but we had to... We turned it off. Because every time he did anything good on the game, it would go, and it was that loud. It was like, It's terrible, man. Yeah, it's like crazy loud. So you're in the boat, and you do that kind of shit, like rock over and over again. It just keeps going, So it put over and bothers the receiver that way. It bothers you. It bothers you. It's like a sound thing. It's so loud. Like, especially in an office. Yeah. It's really good. I'm in sling hell here. Oh, well. I'll take, what, four million? Captive ball? Oh no! He's coming my way, Anabolas! Anabolas? Uh oh! Here he comes! Oh, shard... steak... shard steak. That's not what it's called. You're good, you're good. You got this. Oh. Oh! This is not good. Oh, my life. Why did I shoot so early Yay Nice ball Is it enough No Oh Oh, dude, the ball just held the multiplier. No. Oh! Not enough. Woo! That was one shot in the head. When you see a skeleton fish scrolling across the DMV, hit the launch button several times, and a 10-point bonus will come up on the DMV. 10 points? Jack, you could have won with that. So, Nick, you got first, yes? Yes. Yeah, I got last. All right. Where are we sitting here, J.D.? Nick has nine points. Jack has six points. And Dennis three. All right. Here we go. Some bitch. Come on. Pew. Let it go. So, if Nick takes first on this game, he's untouchable. Take it. Oh, I thought I had that. The weirdest thing about that rover is it doesn't do it every time. No, not at all. It's like breathing. Jason, don't judge me. I hear you. Frickin' frick. Give me that formula. Shut up. Oh, why'd I do that? Oh, God. Oh, God. Okay. Video mode, please. Woo! I got a chance! Needed one more hit to get it out of there. He doesn't like to skip. God! I love games that let you do that where she's like, oh, just give them their points. Just call it a day and keep going. Come on. Oh, farts. Jesus. Come out. I don't think we should have the bed anymore. Let's put it right up the middle. Yep. Right back down. That's good to hear. Yo, we got some scores. Alright. Ya'll got my top? Okay, ya'll got my fish. Uh oh. That was one of the happiest days of the tournament. We got the full door on the Twilight Zone. Oh, nice dude. That's an achievement for sure. This is a long day. Look at you. Hitting it. Oh, I almost had it. Drop catch, and then you threw it. Oh, my gosh. Wow. Huff, zero virus. Fudge, mashed potatoes, and cradle of filth. What the hell are you guys talking about? Something 15 lines often. Yeah. Mashed potatoes and cradle of filth. Oh, God. Oh, sheesh. Ha, sheesh. Not good, folks. All right, we got some sexist quotes here, kids. Oh, man. Oh, that was rough. Why are you using flip-flops? Good luck. got enough fronts got enough middles I like this three and three thing that's no that's there's like a rhythm oh wow that was bullshit barely got it don't Thank you, Jason. Love you. Oh, boy. My man. Oh, man. Nice. 4 million. 4 million. There we go. There we go. What? There's a weird thing about this game. There's no reset on the multiball. Alright, yeah, we're just done. Wow, that was dirty. Yeah, I think our drop target's busted. Let's see some more bang bags. Yeah, right. Bang bag. Oh shit. Oh shit. Crap. That should be enough. Oh, you snuck it in. Aw, take that. Wow. Freaking water skiers, man. I'm over that. Get that video mode that's instant at least 20 to get the big score. No, I spent like 12 for me. Okay, I just gotta get my black shorts. Woo-hoo!

It's hot in here. You guys want to stay in here? I'm like... I just looked at the car ticker or something. All right, so you're saying there's a chance. That was awful. DQ, man. My ball ought to launch. Oh, your ball. So did mine. Look at this. Auto-launch. Oh, you fridge. Leaning... Yeah, walk away. Why would you do an auto-caps? Oh, because it came out of the, uh... What?!

I forgot about that. Uh-oh. I almost did the same... Oh, nice, save him up. I almost did the same shit twice. Aw, fuck that. Yo, stop! Yo, stop! Come on! Oh, give me the ball, jerk! Oh, you're not gonna give it to me? Alright, screw you. Love you. Ugh, come on. There we go. Come on. Come on. Come on. Jack, salt today? No salt for me, sir. I'm the least... He is the skeleton fish, I guess. I ain't looking at the screen, Jason. I ain't looking at no screen. Come on. What do you think I am for ten points? I'm going to be looking at the screen. He's trying to screw us up for ten points. Yo, I just got screwed on ten points. That's like that Dracula thing. Oh, the... Not Buffy. Oh, yeah, it's Buffy. right? Gavin showed us the Fluffy. Fluffy the vampire. Gavin showed us that and he's like, you're missing it. Like, who cares about freaking 10 points, dude? You're ruining my game. Yeah, take your hands off the game and do it for 10 points. Yo, nice ball. Should've slapped it. Should've slapped it. You know what I've been doing? I've been slapping it before it hits that rubber. Yeah. And it just pops off a little. I started through the rubber in the fall Yeah It's really good. True detective. I'm learning. I'm learning. Are you a true detective now? Cold, good luck in your first tournament, man. That's awesome. Cold's first tournament. Go win it. All right, we got to get this skeleton fish. I don't know what's going on, but. I think he's strong. Is there a. There is a skeleton fish. I've seen it. There's a real fish. There's a real fish. There's a snail. I've seen the snail. So should we just hold the ball and wait for it? We'll just yell at each other. We'll yell at each other. Alright, so what's that? Two for Jay, one for me. Alright, we'll do one more. One more? One more, then we're going to call this shmeet. Alright. Alright, so as it stands, Nick Campbell has ten, Jack has eight, and Dan has three. Here we go. Last one. get your dollars ready kids. Get your dollars ready. Slow it down. Slow it down. Demented Warlock, what's up buddy? I haven't seen you in a while. Okay, is it Tuesday? It's almost day two. Tuesday? Yeah, what? You think we've been playing? I want two whole weeks. I want two whole weeks of Fishtails. I want to play both at once. Both weeks? Let's try a thing where you get the games close enough enough you can try to hit both. Oh god that sounds terrifying. What? If you squeeze them close enough you can like play all four flippers at once. Oh no that ain't good. And you have to like try to hit both games. You know I played that stupid I wanted to hold the ball to wait for the skeleton to hit. Aww. Don't do that. So basically there's no more saving the ball than you can play two games at once. Alright. Here we go. Also they're close enough I love that the intercomers are almost impossible to get to. Because you'll hit your hand. Basically you gotta do this. Yeah, you gotta love one game and sort of backhand. This is going to... Ah, Dimension, we're keeping you away? That sucks, brother. Oh boy. Ding dong. Oh, 4 mil. 2 days, 9 kills. Man, yeah, we're killing it right now. Yeah, man. We got this, tilt game. Oh, hippie! Yeah, we figured out the tilt. What's the second one? Increase captain. Increase captain. Oh, God. Oh, gosh. Oh, sheesh. Aliens. Oh, my gosh. Big money. Oh, five million. There you go, Cole. Cole November Green is going to play his first tournament, and he goes, I'm not going to win it. I'll JD a bunch of times. That I can promise. Press the start button three times when the skeleton fish is crossing the display. This gives you a fish bone bonus for ten points. Wow. I couldn't hit the start button three times. Yo. Yeah. I don't think they meant start. Probably launch. Kill it. No. Aw, cute. Backhand. All you gotta do is touch it. Touchy, touchy. You're thinking about buying a Nitro Ground Shaker? What an obscure game to want to go grab, but that's awesome, man. Nitro Ground Shaker? That was a lot of bonus, folks. That's a tilt. I'm a freaking idiot. All right. Did I? Is that me or you? Oh, that's you. That was like six million. I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. Six million won. Six million won. Yeah, a million won. All right. Oh, I've got to hate dropping my jeans, man. You got it. Shit be shrinking. I hate that shutter shot, man. Which one? That caster ball. Oh, man, that thing. It's trouble. So I've been trying to, like, catch off the, oh, never mind. Switch. Ladies. He did it. Gentlemen. Call your parents. The sleepover's over. All right, here we go. I'm trying to doink it in Oh, F you There it goes That's so good That's a great quote JD'd out JD'd his own ball, JD style JD'd the JD What's it like to invent and participate You know, you're only named after something because you do it all the time. I love just holding the flipper up and watching the ball roll away. Just something. For all J.D.s. For namesake. Can you hit the... Oh, there you go. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Swip. Oh, baby. Oh, yeah, that's a keeper. Is this ball Threz? Tress. Is this three? That's two. Très is French for two. Uh, are we sure about that? I'm not sure actually. Trois. I like Tress though. Like Tressoumé, the hair product. Tressoumé. It's like three soumés. It's like Tres-sonés. Tres-sonés. Oh, you freaking ding-dong. Oh boy. Oh, you missed two of them! No, I'm good. Check this shit out. No BSP, bro. Yep, here it comes right now. Oh, money! I swear you only got two of those. God, I worked it in at the last second. I like that I can keep track now because I can skip certain guys knowing that you're needing three of each. I don't think that's true because you only got two back boats. Oh, no, I got all three back boats. No! I promise, dog! No! Man! Hold on. How'd you do that? That was a good ball. That's all I know. Felt pretty good. 2 million bonus holes. Alright so, catch video mode. You're gonna fall through the floor. the floor. Rock the book. Oh, dirty. That's a beautiful shot, man. You're the best pinball player I know. That's sweet. Man, you already got that? Is it going to come back around? I hope so. Double BS. Double BS. Because that would be BS. It was after he got a three of each. Yeah. And I started counting all of them. Interesting. Ooh, there's a sling short. Slingslide. I don't even know what that is. My father used to drag race. It would be cool to have a picture of his car as a topper. That's awesome to me. So Nick... He's got a four million. Bonus sets. Third one is bonus sets. I've been trying to keep track. Ooh, five million to finish it. Oh no. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Ah! That ball. That ball does not like me. Get out of here. New ball. The best thing about the tourney, I finally get to play some awesome machines. That's awesome, Cole. Is it a IFPA sanction tournament? Because that will also make you a world ranked pinball player. You'll be basically as good as Jason Werber. Dude, Jason just broke whatever pencil he was holding. What? Shut up! Super Jets! Oh my god, Super Jets! I hate the outlay inside Fishtails. Yes sir, they are trouble. Oh my god, I get Super Jets. Oh, you mean those? You mean those outlay? Fuck that. Brutal. I love you, J-Sam. I'm steezin'. Steezin'. Steezy-teezen'. Get in there. That was rough. That was rough. I like the natural ground shaker here. Natural ground shaker. Yeah, man. I've only played that at the Papa facility in Pittsburgh. Is that the one you were blowing up at Papa? I think that was a... Oh, I don't know. The one you were doing all the... Like, it had the early free game on it? Oh, Skateball. I was destroying some freaking skateball, dude. Well, I had like 12 hours for two days to practice. Mark, thank you. Oh my gosh, what bull junk. What bull junk? I will say that was a little bullshit that I got that back. Get! Jason, what do you think about ball saves? Are you a no ball save? Kind of person? If somebody were to describe you, would they say, Jason's no ball-sitter? You guys have lightning bolt flippers on that fishtail. Yes, we do. That's why we're getting them. Awesome scores! Yeah. Yeah. Lightning flippers are a little shorter than regular flippers. Yeah, that's why we have such a terrible center break. Oh, my God. I did know that. Don't move. Don't move. Swip, swip, swip, swip. Money, money, money, money. Oh, shit. None of the games in here have Super Bands on them, right? No Super Bands. We're all real rubber. They are... We don't frick with that stuff. They're illegal in this facility. Jason Wardrick says, I like ball saves. Jason does like ball saves? That's a... All right, that's a quote. I'm making you a t-shirt. I like ball saves. Ball save? You get a ball save. Oh, God. He's like the Oprah pinball. You get a ball save. That was awful. There it goes! Count. Uh-oh. Oh, man, you drained it. Oh, my God. That was a multiball fix. You got to see multiple balls drain. Oh, crap. That works too. It's all about the early rain. I don't like crossing. Say no to super bands. Uncle Carmy. No kidding. No one likes that gelatinous, weird, shiny slime crap. It's like Haribo bands. Super bands? They're the new rubbers for embalming things. It's essentially like a slick... Like a jelly bracelet. It's almost like the skate, like the roller skate wheel. Yeah. No, it's thicker than that. Like a jelly bracelet. It's like, no, it's like one of those bracelets. It's a jelly bracelet. Right. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I couldn't figure it out. I couldn't figure out the name of it. It's like a Super Bowl. It's like a Super Bowl, Super Bands. So are they more reactive? I think they're less reactive. They're just different. I think they're stickier and... They're stickier, but they're not as... Well, I feel like you can trust your dead bounces less. They don't bounce as much. Alright, so Nick destroyed us. Who gives a shit? You fucking care. You fucking care. I don't like that center shot. It's so valuable. It is so valuable. internet see Uncle Carmy says they're gummy ground control put super bands on all their machines ok here's the deal super bands last longer which is why people use them because they're cheap they're like LEDs nobody likes LEDs but they just last longer and that's what you should do and also good luck finding real rubbers because they're starting to become a thing of the past. Have you had a chance to make sure those pinballs are fully inflated? Womp, womp, womp. Alright, kids. Well, thanks for coming. This has been day two. Thanks for Dan coming out. Yay! Competing.
