I need to put me in. Thank you. Hey! Carl's holding your shirt. This is yours. Oh, there you are. You guys hold that. Oh, yeah. All right, guys. Thank you.
3:19
The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has been the president of the United States for more than 20 years. He has been the president of the United States for more than 20 years.
4:15
Thank you. Oh, boy. All right. So we're not actually at the mic right now. We're just playing an extra game for fun right now. And then after this game, actually the dollar game, After this game, we're all shut down the stream.
7:59
I guess I can commentate on Johnny's game. He's just got multi-ball. What do we want to hear? It's Johnny. He's the plague. He wants to win back the $2 I've already won from him tonight.
8:20
And he loses his big opportunity for everything there. And now he's in jail. I have to ask to light his multiball or go for dangerous reactor shots.
Total Nuclear Annihilation
game
Star Wars Pinballgame
Stern AC/DCgame
James Cameron's Avatargame
8:31
Yes, yes, Jermaine, I won. They were very anti-climactic final games unfortunately. We seem to get worse and worse but I somehow squeaked through.
8:43
Yes. Yes, my plague avatar. Yes I didn tell Johnny I was making that avatar I just did it I think he's finally great me back with all this from, uh, from getting me sick. Uh, yeah.
9:13
Yeah, yeah. I'm going to shut the after this game. I'll turn this all off and then get my wiring off and all that stuff
9:23
Yeah, just wait wait over this one Come on Johnny! Blow it up! He has re-lit multiball! Or re-lit the locks I should say.
9:49
And actually backhanded. He's saving his reactor shot, which tripled will be worth 94,200 if he can actually pull it off. Well, it's a little more now. He hit the spinner. Oh, come on. Oh, Johnny, you should actually change the lane so you can actually light the ball save on your next ball? Yeah, why'd you go over a lit lane when it wasn't blinking? Oh, that's why you gotta change the track.
10:38
Alright, this is Mark. Mark had a phenomenal game. He probably had the best game of the finals. Oh wait, no sorry, it wasn't Mark, it was Matt. It was his brother. My fault.
10:50
And he's trying to get his second lock here. Second lock done. I'm starting to think it's almost better to let two balls drain at the beginning of multi-ball. so that you can see David. Good seeing you. Wanna see you three more days. Cool, that'd be great. Thank you.
11:46
Nice, destroyed the reactor at double value. for $73,000 and back in jail. I'm just talking so no one's listening to nothing.
12:04
You're talking to no one right now? No, there's some people there. I'm still recording this. What do you think of the game? I really like it.
12:14
It's playing a lot harder today than it was last week, which is odd. Shane didn't do anything good. It looks like we're gonna hurt. Oh, I'm three.
12:25
I think it might be three times. I hope we're hard hitting it. A dollar? A dollar. A big ol' dollar.
12:47
So on the plus side, Carl might just gift me this multi-ball. Very unlikely, but he did do it in the semis. nope there it goes strategic drain
13:25
building up the reactor value yeah Thursday night tournament which division A division, Carl took it, I took second, Rob Smith took third.
13:53
And in B, it was Jockton took first, Shane took second, and CeCe took third. Although technically Shane and Jocton had another game And they were kind of too tired to realize it So yeah, there's that They actually only played one game, but Jockton actually had to be chained twice.
14:44
Unfortunately, it wasn't thought about until later, I'm afraid. I was just wanting to get out of there. I was waiting for them to finish.
15:00
Yeah, the trophies are awesome. Hey, thanks, everyone. Or OB John. So meanwhile, Carl is probably putting on a clinic.
15:24
He's on reactor three at this point. 720,000 points. Lost his multiball. But he could blow up the reactor. He could start working on multiball. he is going to work on getting back a multi-ball.
15:40
He's got one more drop to hit. He bricked it off the outside. There's the third one. Now I need to get it in the scoop. And once he gets in the scoop, he can start locking balls again.
15:54
There it is. Now there is a small ball save right there, so it's going to come back. Building up his reactor value while he's up there. Reactor's at 96,000, so he could start a multiball and destroy his reactor. He's going to score 300,000 points.
16:21
First lock. He'll be looking for the second lock. Try to get it up there. He just hit one of the targets for the reactor, but then he drained. So here I'm going to be up. Thanks for hanging out guys. Oh wait, he has an extra ball, which he's going to play.
16:49
Building his reactor up to 108 now. Getting his second ball. See if he can build his reactor up to max.
17:03
Close. Should be 125, I believe. I just start the multiball, Carl. There it goes. I can blow up the reactor for 375,000. There it goes.
17:22
And now he's building his new reactor. Two more shots on the keypad there. Cradle's up. Gets the reactor in one shot, or the keypad.
17:39
Going for that start reactor shot They just updated the code so it literally 2 million which I expect Carl to get to at this point
17:56
Spinning it. Man, all that spinning. At 3x value, too. Those were quite a bit. They just started the reactor. got four shots to kill the reactor now. The two shots on the left, the R and the D, the destroy target in the upper left, and the pop shot.
18:20
You've still got the two balls on the cradle. Gets a little bit more value up there. almost hit that D target he's going to lose that one unfortunately but still working on getting the reactor down and he just lost the second ball
18:54
and there it goes my turn Yeah, so the high score on this got to reset just yesterday or today when the software was updated. It doesn't carry over.
20:24
All right. Thank you. Your mic. All right. Thank you. All right. Thank you. How are you guys doing?
25:15
Carl will upload this whole thing up. If it was a little inconsistent on the frames, you'll be able to see the full video uninterrupted. I'm sure he's got YouTube.
25:43
Meanwhile, Johnny's playing, and I probably should talk about that. Got the Reactor 2 going. He has his multi ball ready and he should just go for that. But he just lost the ball.
26:00
Hey Squeak, how you doing man? Did you just tilt through? So the game first sometimes comes on the second player. So the games are both on the second player. Yeah. .
26:37
So no tell through Awesome Fargo What's your plan? So here comes Matt. Who's calling Matt? Sorry, Mark. I'm tired.
26:54
Was it Matt played before? I forget. Anyways, you guys are twins. Sorry, this is Mark, who did not make the top eight, so there's that. His twin brother took fourth.
27:32
Nice, Star Wars. How's that warp ramp for you, the hyperspace ramp? I've only ever played it here, and to be honest, I'm not happy with how it performs. But I don't get to monitor those games.
27:50
Kind of curious, does it reject a lot, or does it play smooth? Is it kind of 50-50, 60-40? Meanwhile Mark has Got two shots for his Reactor blow up It's at 59,000 Hey TS4Z Thank you so much for the follow This is Crazy Kitty Man Booth Commenting for Carl D'Angelo At IE Pinball
28:28
This is the last game, so hopefully you have a bunch of pinball lined up for this evening. If this is the last one, hopefully it was decent for you.
28:45
So Carl's up. Carl's the man to beat. He almost got two million on ball two. He did get his ball three. he got his reactor 3 extra ball.
29:02
So Carl's going to try to just get to his locks and try to blow up this reactor and then keep working.
29:12
Hey, how you doing, Dean Amos? Or is it then Amos? Carl got his multi ball, blew up the reactor for 3x value. I did 334,000 points. Carl is going to be GC unless I can do something on my ball three. To be fair before they updated the code the only names on this machine was myself and Carl's so
30:04
yeah you can get that Fargo it's a pain during competition though definitely when you hit it strong Carl's still working with two balls he's got four shots for this reactor to get destroyed. Reactor number five. A little bit of a late flip there for that pop but he's got the one target he's got the R target and now he's just got to hit the pop twice. His reactors at 156,000. If he does it with two balls in play like right there it's gonna be doubled so 312,000 points through a hit see fit my I'm I don't know why I decided to play this game my back was screwed up to begin with but we're gonna try hey we only need to beat like three million at this point now if Carl could actually start his reactor and get in. He's going to get an extra ball.
31:17
That will actually give him that extra ball completing the keypad from the mystery. I mix up too many of my words.
31:34
So he's going back for his locks because he had just finished that. There's lock number two. Derek, great seeing you.
31:50
Take care. And he's got his reactor up to 88. Have to get it to 100 so he can blow up the reactor. Oh, drain from the scoop But it's going to give the ball save I don't think he remembered that Until he heard the ball go through 5 million is totally attainable Well he just got his multi-ball And his reactor is at 87,000 If he blows up the reactor It's going to be 3x value If he doesn't wall 3 balls in play And he got a super jackpot 450 million right there He's blowing this up guys This is the top game I've seen anyone have on this.
32:38
We lost a ball. Is it coming back? Doesn't look like it. Lost his second ball. So he's down to single ball play and he just drained the last ball.
32:54
So here's his extra ball. Looking to get five million. Going to probably just go for locks. There's number one.
33:15
And down the drain, unfortunately. Good ball by Carl. Oh, my God. Because when you are in, it's more comfortable. Yeah. It might be more comfortable. You get free out there, and they're all free. But I like it better when it's in the getaway. It's a getaway. Yeah, I get it. It's just one of those. It goes all the way. Yeah. I like it better when it's in the . OK, there you go. Nice one. It'll look interesting.
