TL;DR

DeadFlip Twilight Zone tournament stream disrupted by internet/streaming tech issues.

Summary

DeadFlip streams Day 2 of a Twilight Zone Battle Week tournament between two players. The stream is heavily disrupted by technical issues (internet throttling, Dropbox problems, streaming bandwidth constraints), with hosts spending significant time troubleshooting network QoS settings and connection management. Gameplay footage shows competitive Twilight Zone play interspersed with technical discussions and banter.

Key Claims

  • Twilight Zone is a 'big bonus game' where points made during play pale in comparison to end-of-ball bonus, making tilts extremely costly

    high confidence · Host explains Twilight Zone bonus structure during gameplay analysis, noting one player threw away ~100 million points on a tilt

  • Twilight Zone lock shot (left right ramp) has poor mechanical design and frequently rejects balls if hit too cleanly or straight-on

    high confidence · Host describes lock mechanic behavior: 'doesn't stick back there very well' and 'if you hit it too straight on, it'll just bounce back out'

  • The Twilight Zone machine being played was fully LED-retrofitted by a previous collector owner, except for the Gilligan's Island portion which retained original lighting

    high confidence · Host describes acquisition: 'This is the first game I purchased from a collector' with 'full LEDs except for Gilligan's Island' and 'blue ground effects underneath'

  • Second player in competitive Twilight Zone often drains relative to first player due to psychological momentum loss, independent of skill

    medium confidence · Host observes: 'if you're second player and you play, you drain relative...because that happens so often' and 'your guards let down'

  • The Twilight Zone machine has different ROM versions available, including a 'free only' ROM that cannot be converted to coin play

    medium confidence · Host discusses ROM variants: 'There are different ROMs you can get' and 'I don't think you can even set this to coin play' for free-only versions

Notable Quotes

  • “Twilight Zone is a big bonus game. And so the points you make up front pale in comparison to what you get on the back end. You never ever ever want to tilt Twilight Zone. Ever.”

    Host (Jack or primary commentator)@ 45:06 — Explains critical game strategy: understanding end-of-ball bonus multiplier system and risk of tilting

  • “If you hit it too straight on, it'll just bounce back out. So if you haven't played while we're waiting for Jack to come back, the main shots from right to left are the orbit, the slot machine, the piano...”

    Host (rules explanation)@ 30:19 — Technical explanation of Twilight Zone lock mechanic and playfield layout for newer players

  • “There's a lock shot right here. So there the left right ramp. There a lock shot right in here. And the way that it designed it doesn't stick back there very well.”

    Host@ 29:52 — Documents mechanical design flaw in Twilight Zone lock shot retention

  • “It's all LED. So this is the first game I purchased, actually, from a collector...He did the full LEDs except for Gilligan's Island.”

    Host@ 27:29 — Confirms machine acquisition and retrofit details

  • “Jack has won four straight games in a row.”

    Other commentator@ 40:45 — Tournament standing update showing one player's competitive momentum

Sentiment

mixed(0.45)— Hosts and players show enthusiasm for Twilight Zone gameplay and tournament format, but are clearly frustrated by persistent technical issues (internet throttling, Dropbox problems, stream quality degradation). Frustration with the machine itself (second night of 'the game being a twat'), mixed with enjoyment of competitive play and rules discussion. Technical troubleshooting dominates first portion of stream, creating negative sentiment early on.

They were saying it was freezing and to turn off Dropbox is what they said. Did you? I turned off my Dropbox, but something just dawned up. Alright, good good. That's it, you gotta get two internet cells. Yep, now we have to get a second internet. Son of a gun. What are we doing? We're wasting our light. For what? For film? Oh, is that what you said? For film. I see film. Why don't we get two connections? Instead of throttling everyone, you just get two throttles and throttles. Huh? What do you mean? How many internets do I need to buy? To give it a cap, to figure this out, to give it a cap, I've got to run the internet through the cloud. Okay. And I took it off the router to get rid of like sort of the middleman so we were getting serious of internet. But now I think we can. The router is always going to allow you to count it. Or give like a min-max per hour or whatever. Yeah. So it's not one thing that can steal the whole thing. They can. You can prevent that by them struggling themselves. Yeah, but you can't. Like if I upload a file right now, it's going to screw you no matter how big it is, even if it's for 30 seconds. Yeah. Oh, yeah, sorry Titan Pinball. That was stupid. What? Sorry, Titan Pinball. Oh, don't do that. man why? I need to get internet for everyone who has bad internet see? but you cannot tell me that had a purpose I would say I'm just wanting to tilt. I wanted to practice my, um... That's it? That's it, bro. Cute. Yeah, mine's on this way and all. Wait, so, hold on. Someone's telling us how to do something with the throttle over there. What'd he say? You can set up some QoS on your router. Working good now. Yeah, it's always Dropbox. It's always Dropbox. Here we go. Good practice game, two out of three? Win. Right now? Yeah, let's do it. Best tube on a tree. Tube on a tree. The best tube on a tree. So Nick went for the pulled one because having the gumball pop over is super dangerous. Preemptively hitting the gumball. Falls into the piano. Hey, what do you need? Oh, quality of service. Yeah, Daz Bakins, if you know tech stuff like that, I certainly do not. I think you just need a router. I got a router, Dave. But you said you got rid of it. No, I just... the router is also our air port. You need a router that has a node off on everybody so that you can tell the router, Yo, this is what it is. Not everybody has a switch with a router built into it. I don't know. I'm saying routers have options as they... this person... these groups of people get this, these groups of people get this. You can throttle it by port or by IP. You can give your streamer box top priority. Priority, bro. That's what's wrong right there. Send me information. There it is. Priority. Oh, and who was in the stream that linked up that Chicago Trader thing? I couldn't find it today. Oh, in Craigslist? Oh, no, Pinside. Pinside. I went on Pinside. Yeah, where's that Pinside link for the guy that wants the Danny Simpsons? Because I looked it up on his side today and couldn't find that thread. Read the shit check, ain't I? Somebody didn't get it yet. How do you know? It takes a while. How do you know? How do you know they're not saying something super important and your life depends on it? What if you're like, you just saw a guy with an axe behind you? It would be too late. I'd scream 30 seconds for it anyway. Dude, that was fun. That was cool. Try that again. Come on. Swip. Bam! Man, these are tenderoni, Swipe. Bam! Yeah, they're super tenderoni. I like them. Fast life. Can you get it? Look at Twilight. You don't rank that one, though. Freaking cards. Hold on, watch this. I'm a bug! Yo, I changed these, too. I'm a bug! Oh, over there. Oh, 10 L's! Airport doesn't have QOS, okay. Yeah, chat with me during the tournament my man. Where am I turning this from? That's over. Was that the relay? Gumbel. Brian Gumbel. Nope. You hear the sound without actually getting in. The reward without the actual reward. Alright lovers, everything you said completely cut out. Sweet buck. Here we go folks, super plot. I can go for gumball as well. I think the new gumball is next. Clean dude, why are you in the bumpers? There's a few ones in there. I just want a gumball. Oh, too early folks. Oh my god. Alright. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. You done? I am having the worst week on Twilight Zone already. I'm already in my head about it or something. Anyone seen my axe? Your axe? Is that a... your axel? Axel. Cold November Dream. So is that a Guns N' Roses thing that you're saying? Maybe it's an actual rose thing. Flip. So you're saying there's a chance? My man! Now we're talking folks. But you know what? I'm all lit up. Yeah, me too. Me too, homie. Uh oh. Full plunge. Full ding dong. Oh god. Shit! Shit! Get out of here! Go! Bullshit. Oh ho ho ho ho! Woo hoo! White ball! Come on, fuck! Bullshit. It's horrible. What have you been waiting for? Go back. Oh! All the other things. The other things are real. Alright, let's see if I can pull it through. Oh you dig, you won it already. I'm standing behind Nick. I wonder if the delay is like crazy bad. I don't know how they know how bad our second leg is. But everything was beautiful yesterday, man. Hang on. Whoa, my phone was freaking out. You'd be buzzing in the twilight zone. You'd be buzzing. I'm gonna try that. Give me both. Scumble. Oh. Damn. Get up in that power. Hang on. Nailed it. It's all good. Clock target. It ain't clock ten million, so who cares? What, you're out of it? You're out of it already? You're already one! Come on! Best tube on the tree, man. Man, best tube on the tree. I'm doing that on purpose for you. You know what? You're going first. You're winning. You're going first. Go! Go ahead! Go ahead, winner. Uh, Josh Bacon's, that, it's not the quality of the stream. What's happening is, um, we didn't have our full studio, our full lineup of people for a couple of weeks and now that everyone's back, the internet's getting hit pretty hard so we're probably going to have to up the juice or throttle the juice or figure something out with the juice. If there's a way to have just two zones, sports zone and streaming zone. That all sounds great and looks awesome on paper if you know how to do it or if that's even a real thing. It's real. That's how Comcast does it. Yeah, but they have their own tubes, man. You're peeing, but you're buying the old... Yeah, Tunglefix. ...fused Tunglefix. Yeah, Tunglefix. Today we're on internet talk. Yeah, good luck, bro. Today we're on internet talk. Chance gets his own tube. How do I put it back? You just put it back. Put it back! Go there. What? What's happening? Literally nothing. Go back. Why can't I make that shot? Money! MAMA! That's a good way to start, Algie. I got mail, please. Everybody get out. Everybody get out. No, not everybody. Sorry, I didn't mean to say that. How do I relight that? Oh, you don't? Not. That's not a relight. The only one you relight is the manual. Everybody get out. Everybody get out. Hey, hey, hey! Yo, we gotta get out. Ah, Pipper, go to hell. The Weston's posted some deals. The Weston. The Westman Girls. Westman Girls. Westman Girls. Good flip, Miles. Bumper Brady. All right. Good ball, good ball. Powerball meeting and got some money. Delay is fine on Josephson. All right, Cole. Fair enough. Oh, right. I'm tired of figuring out all this tech stuff. Isn't there like a Twitch guy that can call to come and make everything work? A Twitch guy? A Twitch technician, like Comcast? Wow, that was fast. Whoa. Whoa. Wait, does that collect bonus? Oh, I got nothing! Boobs. Ah! Ha ha ha ha! Sorry, internet. That was a little more than that. Man, that bill and a half from the store. What a dick. Oh, man. Oh, God. Now you're in the boobus? I can do it. That was the worst. Oh ho! That was weird. West End Town, Dead End World. Yeah! Okay. Super Energy Kill! Super...kill. What is it? Yo, Spurl! Spurl. That's not a star. Nope. 97.7. Those numbers are programs. They're not... Yeah. Wow. Oh, God. Clench. Yeah, clench, clench. I'm surprised it let it go to the gumball because the spiral was wrong. I got a spiral as well. Oh, it shouldn't have made it past that. I got bumped. Be careful. Yeah, Sean, the skill shot is, it's not worth the potential devastation. potential devastation that comes with being in the top bunkers. Unless you know that 10 million is really going to change your game, it's not worth the money. Yeah, if all you need is 10 million to win, I would be okay with that. 10 million on this game is enough. Okay, folks, we got a multiple lit. Making our way into the game today. What a tap! Ding dong scholar. Alright, here we go. Jaden, fly out here, fix our stream, and then we'll pay you with beer and all the pinball you want to play. Okay. Okay. Roll baby. The camera helped. It did not help. You got a good bonus though. Thanks, Naomi. Who are you doing? Oh, never mind. Thank you. What I meant to say is you have a bonus. Well, yeah. I didn't mean to throw the word great in there. We can't argue with that. I'm going to go for plunging. Hold plunge. Hold plunge. Into the... Into the hot locker. Into the hot locker. Watch it. Oh, that's not possible. The clutch. Six feet. Running. And a door puddle. Oh, God. Do it again! Love you. Get up in there. Cleaner! I'm clean, I really am. You got the Powerball. Here comes my fur, buddy. Powerball. You alright? Thanks for fighting with me. I'm not going to fight with you. I'm going to fight with you. I'm going to fight with you. I'm going to fight with you. Check your spider webs. Check your spider webs, folks. Why'd I do that? Don't miss! Wait, what happens when I miss? Don't miss! Oh, JD the fucking ball! JD the Powerball, bro! Damn it! Wait, this isn't a home ROM only. Wait, this is free only. You can sell this for $10 or $20. I don't know. I mean, this machine has a coin door on it. Yeah, but the ROM got changed. I've never seen free only. I've seen only free play. Free play. For you, Frigg. What, he's got a million points for yelling at a Frigg? I just want the Frigg multiball. God, I'm so screwed. Oh, whoa. No! That doesn't work. It feels a little bit slippery. Ooh, that's good for 16. Nine. I never know what that number is. I'm going to go with nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. I never know what that number is going to be. My man! Let's see. Oh my god, I can't do anything! Hit it! No! I love you! How do you get to the upper playfield? You have to get to the upper playfield by lighting the tower, And then an orange arrow shows up below the right ramp, and that shoots up around the drop-in inside of the overplay field. And then the, whoa. Then you flip your back to make an action, shoot down at the bottom corners that throw the ball around. And you light the tower by, how do you light the tower? By draining. Thank you. There you go. Thanks, Mark. That was a fruitful multiball, folks. Got absolutely nothing there. Oh, wait, how many Hitchhikers? Ooh! That's a good return line. All right. Big Hitchhiker, stand by to try to remove him. Go. No sickest action since I've been here. What was it? Hit? Oh, chopsticks. They make you laugh. Don't touch it anymore. No! Get out! Oh, man. Life's so hard for you. Your third fucking free Powerball. So, let's kiss. Let's kiss. Don't tell me you aren't. Do you want to see that? Wait, what are people saying? Do I get this right? Maybe if you're lucky, bro. I am, though. I know you are. Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God! Not that lucky. That was bad. Me la vi, se se bon, ooh la la. Mignon mignon mignon. Eh, se, pli-ser, pli-ser. How you say? How you say pli-ser? What's gold? Lit? Lost in the zone? Yeah, we got lost in the zone and get a billion, which either one will get either one. It's either a bill or lost in the zone. We'll see what happens. Oh, what am I doing? No! Uh oh. I did not want that. Wow. Is that going to be worth it in the end, folks? Yes! No! All the points. You got a lot of points. Alright. Not enough, please. Not enough. So I have light gumball, so I need two gumball lights to get gumball. Get a combo, all of you, Dignam. I can get the power. Are you good? Yeah. That was not enough, folks. That sucks. Guys, I have allergies today. I hate you. I'm not feeling 100%. Oh, thanks for letting me win. No, yeah, that's okay. We all asked the internet, I said, should I just drain this right away just to make him feel better when he gets back? And we all agreed, you... I need it. You're not looking great. Right, thank you. You're not feeling great. You smell terrible. Yeah, you don't smell well. So we figured that the nicest thing to do really is to just do an old up and over in lane and just sit on the little edge there and fall in the out lane. My man. I thought everyone would really appreciate that. Especially me. Especially me. Yeah, so happy birthday. Mark Sheridan, you got a billion a few weeks ago, huh? You're going with the mystery door flash, right? You're going first. All right. So that's our first two out of three, folks. That's a win for JD official. We're going to start that over again. Starting fresh. And I'm going to come back. Amazon and lots of Twittering. People Twittering my tweeters. Oh, okay. I don't know the tweeters. The tweeters are going to be here. Oh. All right. Here we go. Let's just get lost in the zone before Nick even comes back. Now the reason I'm not trusting that to bounce out is because it has too much energy when it goes to the right flipper and it wants to bounce back to the right. When it hits the left flipper it wants to bounce back to the right. And it's a little too much to deal with. Shit, what am I doing? Can I have a clap please? Love you. Love you. Oh god. Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho! That's one hot! Got so excited for something that I drank. What did you not get? Is this game half regular, half LED, or is it all LED? It is all LED. I left you a nice little head print there. Yes, you did. I was noticing that. That was real sad. I think it's all LED. It is all LED. So this is the first game I purchased, actually, from a collector out west. And he did the full LEDs except for GI. Yeah. I had to look to remember but the GI is all normal and all the LEDs are LEDs. And you can't see but there is blue ground effects underneath the cabinet of this thing. Yeah. It's ridiculous. It's pretty great and I think you're right. I think there might be a ROM that is free only. I don't think you can set even set this to coin play. I was hearing you talk about that. There are different ROMs you can get. But this came from a collector. It's been in his basement forever. It's in pretty good condition. was my first game because I wanted to buy my first game and kind of keep it forever. I've always liked this game a lot. It was always my favorite game when I played pinball when I was, you know, 12, 13, 14, kind of whenever this came out, right? 92, 93? 93. So I saw this thing and I played pinball before that, but something about this game was like, what the hell do you do with this thing? There's a million things to do. I couldn't figure it out, and I literally couldn't figure it out until I bought the dang thing. And I was like, okay, now I'm starting to understand it. You got your first billion on this, I want to say, two years ago. Yep. We reset the scores recently. Ever since we got rid of extra balls, we made it a lot harder. We set the outlanes up higher. Ever since we did that, we reset the scores, and we're trying to get there ever since. But building is a lot easier when you have extra balls. Oh, yes. Oh, right in the bumpers anyway, that's... Alright, play like you know what you're doing, Lane. Whatcha gonna do? That nudge comes out, right? You fucker! You fucker went in... Went in and bounced out. And I just touched shit. So Twilight Zone, we're burning worms here as they call it. Twilight Zone has a lock shot right here So there the left right ramp There a lock shot right in here And the way that it designed it doesn stick back there very well You'll get rejections a lot. If you're going too fast into there, it'll just kind of go in and then bounce back out. And that's just what happened to me. I hit the lock shot like too cleanly. And if you hit it too straight on, it'll just like bounce back out. So if you haven't played while we're waiting for Jack to come back, the main shots from right to left are the orbit, the slot machine, the piano, which is under this clock right here. This is like a little clock mechanism. The piano is under here. You have the lock, the right ramp, the left ramp. You have the left orbit. And then you have the camera shot, which is under here. You have the hitchhiker shot, which is right here. You have the bumper shot, which you can shoot all the way through and hit a target as well. It hits a hole and you get the dead end jackpot. And then to light the power, you need two hitchhikers to start with. There's other ways to light the power, but to start, you've got to get two hitchhikers, which you can get through this lane here. You can also get it through other rewards, I think. But you hit that twice, you get the power, and then that's when you go up in here. and instead of this stopping it, it goes all the way through to the upper playfield. And then you'll see when it's in here, there's little magnet coils under here that the flippers control. So you're actually flipping little magnets on and off, and then that goes wild. Then we have the pop bumpers, which can light up for more points, I think which add to the dead-end value or something like that. What else do we have? So to get to the gumball, that's the right orbit. To light the gumball, I just drew a blank. Oh, you hit the left and right ramp, and that lights gumball right up here. You can also see one of the awards in the door is light gumball. So you spell gumball, and then you can go up the right loop to get a gumball award up there. What else we got? Complete the door and get lost in the zone, which is the main mode. So if it comes down this lane here, you've got the light right spiral. So if you go up here, after hitting this switch, you go up the right orbit, you're going to get one of these spiral awards down here. Same with, I think that's it. I thought there was one over there, but I don't see one. Dead end is here. If you hit this switch and hit the dead end, which is through the bumpers, you get the dead end award. There's light slot machine, which is here. If that's lit, you can go to the slot machine. It's already lit now. And that's kind of it. So you'll see people, some people go for modes, you'll see some people just go for gumballs. As soon as they get enough gumballs to get one, they'll just go for that, because that's worth a lot of points. And then there's camera wars, there's a bunch of other stuff we didn't talk about, but that's some of the rules. Oh, we're burning! And welcome back. Tell me, tell me, that when you play second, okay, that the first player's ball doesn't influence your score. Totally does. Because that happens so often that if you're second player and you play, you drain relative in score to the person who played ahead of you. And it's so freaking crazy. It just happens. It just happens. I don't know if you're just like your guards let down. Yeah. Like if we were battling, which we are, I'm like, it's not like nothing. I'll kick your ass and then my guards let down. All of a sudden I'm playing like poop. You didn't mean poop. Oh great. How do you do it? 12 mils, 12 mils. Well I could have plunged 12 mils. That's why we keep talking to the old chitchat thing. It's kind of like some of the rules. Power field, look at that. 12 mil power field. Alright folks, let's go for it again. Oh, it's awesome that we have one of those in Helsinki. Yeah, ancient. Our goal on this is 1 billion and lost in the zone. The wizard mode. Uh, that friends is the most infuriating phrase. That B is terrible because if you don't make it all the way up, it just gives that ball momentum to shoot right down the right outline. That's a sad one folks. That is a sad one. Well, that's a 10. Well, that's a dying one! Uh, I'm gonna be a ding-dong and take the 10. Alright, alright. Cause that hand will give me a lead that Nick will not be able to match. You dream. Oh, man. Here comes that dream. Oh, boy. Whoo! Good hold. Jack's cold. My man. So. Oh, fuck. We talked about this. Don't make me kid. If I load my gumball, which all I need is a left ramp and a gumball shot, and then sink the gumball. Now how do you know you need a left ramp shot? Gum is filled by the right ramp, the ball is filled by the left ramp and I already have one lit right there. Now that might get me 20-50 mil, but I only need 40 mil. So I think I'm just going to go for that strategy. Get the power. Sorry champ, that's another two out of three. No, that's the first one I said. We just started that one! Okay. I guess I'll go with that. Yeah, you thought you know first. Oh man. Guys, this is not my game, folks. Slow Work Day, playing with Illustrator. What do we got here? Illustrator? People still use Illustrator, huh? What do you mean still? This is the worst program. Oh, hell yeah, dude! Yo, what's that? That's Illustrator. That's Battle of the Power, man. Oh, that's good. Mark Sheridan just made that. Mark Sheridan! Dude, that's red. Oh man, that's good. Oh man, I see what you're doing, brother! Meow! Oh, that was, that really was good. That was better than me, wasn't it? Yeah. Alright, get clean. Out. Leave. Go. Get up. Get up. Get up. No! No! No! Damn it! That's why you don't take, you don't take skillset, folks. Yep, you got 10 mil but that's all you got. And then situations like that, that's when you want the skill check. No, God, fuck. I might be really angry by the end of this tonight. This is the second night this game's being a twat. Yo, let's take a look at your skill check. Are you hippie? Nick will never catch me! Oh man, he almost got under the water. Fall in peace. Battle the powder. Oh! Oh, dude. 23 million. Wow. Anador? Anador handle. What's Anador? Wait, what's that pill you take when you're You're interested in stuff? Uh, no. Amador. No. Auto-car. Auto-car? What? Auto-car. That was a bad joke. That was a bad joke. That was a bad joke. Stop weaning! Stop weaning! I'm so cool! Watch your butt, dog! Yo, watch your butt, dawg. Oh, good ball. Dude, this is it. I am tired of this shit. Don't even think. Wait, $1.25 a game? Holy butts. Which one? Cole is saying that this game in Helsinki is a hero to play it. Which is $1.25. Oh, dude, I did not, when I was playing in Sweden, I didn't do the translation between Kroner and... Oh, you like one Kroner. And I'm like, oh, I'll just, hey, you know, it can't be a 50 cents or whatever. It was two bucks a game after translation. Yo, damn Kroner. And I was like, what? I was like, what? I was like, what? Krony baloney. Yo, the ball, bro. All I needed. Shit, fuck you. All right. Alright, this is my personal mission. All I need... Yeah, is 89 million points. Take it in, Cronus, man. Take it in, Cronus.

It was straight up Waller's idea. That's incredible. It's beautiful. It's such a smart idea. So now I gotta get the camera, and then I gotta re-hit that jackpot. Jackpot is lit! You can get the old spins found. Oh, nice slap. Added another 5 million to the Oh, this also brings up another great point we should bring to attention here. Twilight Zone is a big bonus game. And so the points you make up front pale in comparison to what you get on the back end. You never ever ever want to tilt Twilight Zone. Ever. He probably threw away about 200 million points. It wasn't that much. You don't think so? With all the greed targets you were hitting, with all the time you spent in here when you had that moment running... It was... I'll give you half that. I'll give you 100. 100. Sure. He'd have had a much nicer score. Fuck! Yeah. Like a big lot. Yeah. Like a big lot. Like, you ever been to big lots? Oh! Yeah, yeah, big lots. It's like that dollar store. It's like that amount of bullshit. Yeah. It's like so much bullshit with an exclamation point, which is their logo. All right. Oh, that was awful. That was pretty bad. JD, I'm sorry that it existed. Well, I'm pretty happy. For me, I'm happier. I'm not happy that I'm in the pop-bubble. You stay flying. You're out there. Now I get in the bubble. You stay pop-bubbling. Now I get in the bubble. Oh! That's how I lost. Yeah! Totally unperfect. Woo! That was unperfect. Unperfect. I can't trust the bounce over. Oh, skip-scrotch. I thought it was going to skip-scrotch. Oh yeah, sorry, donate to kid. Mother... Donate to kid. Oh, the clench. The clench is real. It takes a lot of energy to clench this thing. Clench? The Clench. Is that in the Pinball Dictionary? It should be, man. It's happening. Happens every time I play that. Just when you need a shot to go a little further. It's punching your butt cheek. It really gets the ball up there. Come on. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Aww. They got a cup. They got a cup. Boop! Hitchhiker. Ready. Cuddly. Blaster! Whoa, bruh. Boop! I cannot. Swing. There was a swing. Okay, so he was at 50 going into his bonus. He just got 30 more bonus. Powerball. I finally get the Powerball. I need to think it, folks. Let the pulse flow. Woo! That was bullshit. Brad Zac Stark chopped me that one. Was he in there? Hold on, spin now. Cleaner. Clean. Here we go. Focus. No! Oo. Stupid. In the multi-bomb? Uh, stupid. Ooh! Free Power Ball, no shit. And it's on floor. Don't put it back. I mean, come on, Nick. I mean, come on Nick, pull it together man, I love you. I don't have a beard. Oh. What? That was a lot. What the hell? Did I glee? No, I think it was like, something on your lip. Ska- Ska- Ska- Skavies? Did you eat crackers or something? I did! No, I didn't have fucking crackers on my lip. Get outta here. I'm telling ya. Not like a fucking seven year old. I think it's a cracker crumb! Oh, that ceramic ball is easier to see on camera? That thing is awesome. Yeah, they, uh... At Logan Hardware, they took a Tron and replaced all the balls with Power Balls. And that game played... LATELY fast! That would be a blast. It was terrifying. Welcome to Squawky, you're the potato! I don't need it. That was smart. Whoa! Where you going bud? Winner. Can you explain to me something I don't know where it came from? Yes. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner? Yeah. Where is that from? Well, um, that came from, um, well, it's been said. It has been said. That, uh, back when you could get chickens, they were only available through Hungry Man And Hungry Man was actually a division of Price is Right Corp. Gotcha. Right. Which, um, you know, during the Great Depression, all they had to give away were Hungry Man dishes. Chicken. Chicken, yes. Chicken dishes. Got it. Um, and if you got like a shitty score on one of their games, you got like the Salisbury steak or something, but when you got the chicken, that's what people wanted. Oh, I see. And when you won, you were that winner winner. Because of the war, they really couldn't give out metal or bass prizes. Right, right. It was all chicken-based prizes. And Bob Barker, back in that time, I think he was like 12 when he was the host of that show? Yeah, well he was genetically engineered just to be the host. Yeah, the third Bob Barker. Did you know that the third Bob Barker was just a clone of the second Bob Barker that he was genetically engineered to be the host of that show? And Drew Carey was a screwed up clone, but they were all out of DNA. They had no warning. What else are you going to do? They're like, we'll take the closest thing we can. It all makes sense. When you think about it. In the way of sense. When you think about it sense-wise. It all makes sense. Sense. Sense. Sense. Wait, I wasn't even paying attention to that one part. No, I was still trying to distract you, but it did not work. You were playing really well. Ooh, that was in. Get in! Oh yeah, buddy! I got ol' Ding Dong Jones over here. Oh, Ding Dong Jones! I don't need that ball. I need that ball. Uh oh. Rewike to the story. Watch this. Oh, wait. Uh oh. Oh. Oh. You okay? Alright, I'm gonna fly. BOOOOOO! I just tried it. I was like, God damn dream. Okay, I'm gonna fly. BOOOOOO! Not a lot of ding-donging for not a lot of points, although you did get a big ol' bonus. Alright. Not a lot of ding-donging for not a lot of points. Big ol' bonus, folks. This is why that tilt's gonna cost me quite a couple dollars. The thing is in the drain, so I'm gonna try to go for my ball, get a lock, and then get the gumball out. The thing is in the drain. Ding-dong. Oh, he's leaning. Yep, he's leaning a bit right there. Should come down clean, but lean away. They use the magnets to kick it out, but yeah, just lean in on the left a little bit. You know, just knees real quick. Okay. Here we go. Oh, shit. Woo! Woo! Woo! Oh! It's, um, the wizard from Fight the Clans. A quick death flip. I got a new trick. The Attention Burner. Oh, is it gonna be enough? What the fuck? Are you gonna do it? Is it gonna be enough? Are you gonna do it? You motherfucker. That'll do it. And that's the only break you should ever go for the field shot. That is exactly the right time. You go up, you get 10 million, then you bring it right away because it doesn't matter. What a... five games in a row, kids. Nice win. Let's go down to the first floor. Five games in a row. I've lost zero. I've had zero points every game. Are you done working? You want to end here?

He just comes straight in. He will come straight down the hoop. In the camera. Looking for a kick. I tried. Cold, by flipping like a madman, there's actually two targets on the side so when the ball's So, if you're like a madman, there's actually two targets on the side so when the ball's bouncing around you're collecting money. And then you double that by shooting into the hole in the back. So, even if you don't think you're going to make it in the back, hitting it in the back and forth like crazy just builds up. So, typically flipping like a madman is your best bet. That one's dangerous. Cantankerous. That was dirty. Dirty ball. That was dirty. Sparky dirty ball. Oh, that's what they call me. Oh, see the short? Ooh. You got good teeth for that. Can you make it? Nope. I think it's going to be a big bonus. Not if I do this. Yo! You're well off. I was going to run up and hit it. I got you.

If you have a ball on the upper play field, and you manage to get another ball to the camera, you nail the shot for the ten-a-cut on the upper play field. That's wrong. That goes for every part of the thing. Because the camera in that chair is the thing. How do you realize it? What does it say? I don't know. Oh, gotcha. Oh, God, I had to fucking do it. Oh, my God, they're going to laugh. 76 million! The million? You've been joined in a second. Whoa! Shake it up. Bumble like a clock, folks. That's my second multiple ball. I need that. Okay!

I don't even care if I won, did I win? It looks like I won. Let's play another and then I get a roll. Alright, now I got the vibe. I think this was our billing game, right? Yeah. Here comes Phil Towne. Phil Cliney. Phil Cosby. Phil Hayden. Phil Pexey. Phil Bellamy. You alright? Yeah, I'm just joking. I'm joking out, folks. Sorry. Nice players. What? That's probably a quiz then. Don't blink. I'm afraid to blink. I would never blink. Flake? I'll never blink. I'll never blink the glass. Bill Nye? Bill Nye, that's true. Bill Nye. Bill Pruppernickel? Bill... Bill... Bill Bow Baggins? You know my lover? Is Bill... Is Bill Bow Baggins less named Bow Baggins or is it Baggins? Is his name Bill? Is his name... Oh, his name's not Bill? Bow Baggins?

It's Bill Bow-baggins. Bill Bobaggins. Buffalo Bill. That's for good. I like Bill Bobaggins. Oh, man, that's what I thought. That's a little bit slip. Uh-oh. What? That was the cleanest drop catch I've ever done in my life right there. Yeah, we know the sad, repetitive way of getting through the door. It's just not fun. It's like Adam's family. You just get under the chair and then send it under the right ramp and then repeat over and over again. Ball in! Oh, and the relay. Oh, and every ball forced out. In the stupid end. Oh my goodness. And the relay. He's a maniac, folks. And he's played football like he's never played before. Uh, that's what I'm... Oh! Damn, that's the bull kid. Where's it at? Can I get it out? Oh, God! What? I'm totally cheating now, folks. Let's play legit. Oh, you know what else I found out last night? What? I took the keys home. So we can't save that ball? No I haven't. It's in my pocket. I think if we open the doors the power goes out. He has a ball stuck up there and there's really no way of getting it without saving the flashlight. So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to try for one more and if I get one more I'll drain it. Okay. To make it fun. Alright, folks, you got a ball. Step. Where do you want it? Clippers do work with the door open, by the way. Yeah, we're not going to have any more getaway weeks. If we set a goal for ourselves, we're going to achieve it. Shooter? Put it on. Let's see. Oh, no. Shooter. Shooter? You got a chance. Alright. So Jables, you were here to watch me completely fail at getting what we needed on getaway, huh? By the way, I did like 100,000 points. I want to take that home by accident again. Okay, folks. Here we go. We also have a tournament. We also have a tournament going on tomorrow, so we're going to leave the stream on while that's going. And we're going to see somebody here float. What did you drain? What did you drain? What did you drain? What did you drain? What did you drain? Man, that pulse ball, I got three dead by two. That really didn't... Really not worth a ton. That certainly didn't... worth money. Why does it look like that, Morgan? That's my ultimate dumb joke, I love it. Get it! Ding dong. Oh yeah, that was slow on that. So you're saying there's a chance? Bring it! That was two house balls in a row, folks. Y'all put this back. Okay, before I lose this one. Let's actually do something here. That ain't gonna do it. In fact, that's probably the end of it. How did we just have three health balls in a row? They didn't run, I was fast. That means we gotta do more. of responsibility. Good luck everyone. Big money, no way. And... Stop! Oh God! The save. Whoa. That's impossible. Improbable. That's not legal. Whoa. And that's the beef. Oh, perfect. That's what I wanted. Call the butcher. Alright, right ramp. Don't do it. Right ramp. Am I not sapping anything of this? Golden earring everybody. This is a song they license. Twilight Zone by Golden Earring. Ooh, whoa. Attackers, uh, two. Wow, these balls. They're pretty bad, folks. Yeah. Got a lock ready, and we hit it. Now, now that I know how crappy that multiball was, even though we got two jackpots, I'm gonna try to go for Greed. Or build up your GPs while you're in the multiball before you, what, 5 million per time you hit. I'm gonna try to hit this slot machine for Greed. Hey by the way, that was a great stop. Thanks. Actually it's unlit. Well that's not good. I'm gonna try to backhand. And then go in the side. Four, agreed. Now multiball. Shit. The sticks are more delicious. Or rather, the... The sticks are delicious. Oh, the old hoppity bop. Stop rousing, Lord. I don't want to be loud. Don't yell. I don't want to yell. Hey, they still need pinball. Let's collect the door. Let's collect the 10 million door. Nope. Where is it? Right here? Nope. Too hard. Mom? And there's my drink. $1.25. Folks, by the way, never leave your flippers up. That's like basic bitch. Whoa.

That was regular pinball that you just sent. Am I high right now? You put the Powerball somewhere and a regular pinball came up. I just got Robo-bob. You got something. How is that even possible? What the fuck? Yeah, it's sitting... It's sitting right... Look at this. Let's look right there. Where did I put it? It's resting... It's sleeping right there. I locked it. Yeah, man. I said you're gonna lock. Lock it up. That's below the box. That was what I was... Oh. Cherry, that's awesome of you. I appreciate it. If you have any questions, man, please feel free to ask. When we're streaming this, especially early on when we first turn on the stream, we explain everything we can about why we're shooting for what we're shooting for. Also, if you're anywhere near Chicago, brother, you are more than welcome to come battle us because we invite everybody that's in the area to come fight on stream. We have all the room in the world. And, in fact, we have an IPA-sponsored tournament tomorrow here. That's right. And we'll be streaming on this machine. All of our games are going to be used by close to like 25, 30 people. And we're going to leave the stream on here so you get to see everyone that's battling on this game in particular. They probably won't do any explaining because we don't really let them know what's going on. You'll hear a lot of swearing. We'll be telling you how to be in film. Yeah. Alright. You need to win. You need to be 1.34. Are you ready to win? Are you ready to win? Ball three, you gotta get a hundred million points. There's twenty. Where are you gonna get it? Two! There's fifty. Ready? Two. Three. Two. Two. Two. Two. Two. Two. Two. Two. Two. Two. Two. Two. You're from Nottingham, Robert Englunds? Holy crap! Well, uh, yeah, we're more than happy to explain what we're doing, man, for sure. Um, again, thanks for hosting us, brother, that's awesome. That's awesome. Uh, so, none of these really matter to me, so I'm just gonna fuck it. The power's already playing. We don't have extra balls turned on, so... Yeah, we keep our machines as hard as we can make them. Oh no. Yeah, stay in my corner. Get up, Nia! Get up, Nia! There's only Mel. Oh, do I have like, vest lock on? Is it burning down? I think it- I might have lost it while you were in there. Oh, I think it's a clear. I think I might have bought this while you were in there. Oh, I'm so good! Cherry, you're awesome. Honestly, we can't thank you enough. Getting pinball onto Twitch was a big enough payday to me, I'll tell you this. Yeah, that's how it is. Thanks again for hosting. That's awesome. Alright, another battle. What are you shooting for there, Nick? I'm gonna go for the multiball, which is done by getting both ramps, and then locking balls after that. So I'm gonna try to get my right ramp and left ramp just like that, and then start locking balls, which is over on the right over here. It says there's a lot. You can see that. I'm going to try that. So I'm going to pass it by going around a ramp so I can get to the other clipper. Then I'm going to go up here. Right. Nope. Right. Not there. It's up here. What? I'm going to try again. Nope. Uh, play forever, I need a beer. Oh, give me one. Okay. There's my lock. So now I have a lock, which means I can get multiball by going up this ramp, except I got the super skill, so I gotta wait a little bit. Checking for powerball. Powerball is up in a lock right now. Should have cleared the lock, but that's where it is. I guess it doesn't really matter. Wait, what? You're fine. I got you a Eugene Porter. Those are mine. Okay. Can I have them? Yeah. It's like the exact same as the one I've only been into. Yeah, Jerry, be careful. If you're just now getting into pinball, you'll find a lot of your money disappearing into these things, that is for sure. Especially if you have enough money to start buying them, because this guy bought his first pin, and now we have 11 in the studio. It's crazy. I don't own 11 games, I should say. Okay, it's true. You don't own 11. A lot of those machines we have here are donated for the stream so that you can stream, and other friends keep some of their games, too. How many do I have? Three... four... five... seven? No, I think seven or eight. Three of them gone. Did you see anybody else? Anybody else? Anybody? Yeah, a weapon. We have a... Hey, hold on a second. Anybody. If you ever want to see everybody out of the pool, if you don't know what everybody out of the pool is, it's when you have two or three balls in the game, and then somebody somehow puts a big turd right here in the middle of the pool. It's all about the turds. And then all the balls go out. Yeah. It's like that scene in, what is it, Caddy Shack, where there's the baby roots floating in the pool, and then some little girl yells, duty. Everyone thinks that candy bar is a turd. Everybody out of pool. Everyone runs out of pool. And that's what happens when you have a bunch of, like when you have a multiball going and every ball just leaves all at once. We call that everybody out of pool. Oh, that was bad. That was bad. Thanks everyone for stopping by. We do this every day, every Monday through Friday. 5pm central, every day. And Wetman, to answer your question, yes, we have the Data East Simpsons pinball machine And we have not shown it on the stream, just because it needs a little love, I think. I just don't want to put a game on the stream that might break down halfway through. Yeah, it's mostly that it's set up so difficult. Although we should have a random challenge on it here. Agreed. What's Carrie saying there? By the way, Carrie's the person that's hosting it right now. Yeah, Tales of the Arabian Nights, all of his games actually, that designer is really good, Papa Dude. Oh, John Papa Dude, yeah. Look into his games, really good artwork, really fun games. They don't end up being tournament games very often, so we rarely see them out in tournament land when we're out. But they're beautiful looking games. Yeah. World Cup Soccer? Oh, ho. Actually, World Cup is one of my favorite games. How How are you not going in the... Jack Danger. You Jack Danger'd your own ball a day. So we're kind of tied up here. We're burning worms, as they say. As all the kids say. I'm going to... I had multiball, laced weapon, and I had it... I was in multiball. And totally lost all three balls right away. So that was not very good. No, is that the... yeah, that's the... I'll take that. So I'm going to relight my multiball by getting ramps. Right ramp. Ooh, do we have any plans on getting a black gold? I'm not sure that's on my priority list of games we're trying to get here. We are, in fact, getting, uh, someone is donating a Harlem Globetrotters. Oh, yeah. Tomorrow, actually, at this time. And, uh, on Friday, when we put up a list of all the games to vote on, there's going to be, like, a little trick-or-treating for you guys to vote on for the next week's games. Hell, we might even have a stream going for the, uh, Christmas party. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That'll, that'll get... Photo booster. That'll get gnarly. Ooh, yeah, wait, that's right. All right. So I need that left ramp. You can backhand that left ramp sometimes. You just need a lot of power. Speaking of the power, I actually had pretty bad luck getting it up there, but how would I say that? I got it. 23 mil. Take it. And a door. I got three hitchhikers, four. Eight million. And, uh, ooh, that did not go. Yeah, we have a Metallica Pro. Two of the things down right here. So, like, Twilight Zone, The Getaway, Metallica, Roadshow, Fish Tales, ACDC Premium, Hotshot and Old EM. Uh, crap, we have Daddy Simpson, Christmokers Dragula, Iron Man, Dark Knight Batman, and a virtual pit. Wow, I can't hit that. Cannot hit that, folks. Oh, are you kidding? Jaded, ACDP needs to be on everyone's wishlist. That game is funny. I love that game. Not that, right, Randy? Unless it's the pro version, then it's still fun. It's just not as fun. There we go. Super slide. You trying to get it back in there? Hold on. Yeah, Jerry. Hot Rod is a team. Hot Rod is a core player. If you go look at our... We back up all of our broadcasts to YouTube. We did a whole week of Hot Rod. And you can see us all super frickin' frustrated at that game. Oh. Go. Hit me! Go! Was that 20? 15? Dude! Stop playing! Oh boy. A robot. A robot! Okay, one lock. So after your first multiball, which I got on the first ball, you have to get each lock separately. So I have to hit two more ramps. But now that I have the powerball in here, I'm going to go to get it back into the gumball machine. If you get the powerball back into the gumball machine, you get another multiball called the powerball multiball or something like that. like that. Also, hold on. Yo. If you have your multiball, or I'm sorry, your powerball, and for whatever stupid reason you don't want to lock it up right away to get your multiball, you can use it to shoot these orbits. That is 10 million a shot. Right. Yes. Good luck with that. I'm going to immediately throw it into its home. I try to catch it just like that and I want it up this right orbit. Just like that. Now I want to get it up in this upper flame field here. I want it to... There you go, there you go, there you go. You have a two up there. No good multiball there folks, but it's alright. I end up with another lock. And hopefully I can get this one. Get that lock going. Close this up. If I get here, then we have a second lock. Which I did not get. Campbell, why right now are you playing better than you have been playing all night? Don't jinx me bro. I'm not jinxing you, I'm proud of you, but I mean you're killing it now. So now the malt ball is lit. If I get it in the lock, you can't start it with the ramp anymore. You gotta go all the way up into the lock here. Give me a little screamy look. So here we go. We go left ramp around to the lock. And then lock it up. Missed it. There's a lock. So that's multiball two. Rules are the same. You want the piano, and then the piano. Be careful with the camera. Be careful with the camera. Alright, so I'm going to have a relay opportunity assuming this doesn't go out. So we'll go around the loop, go back into the lock. Still love. Still another... Fuck, what did I do? Nope, that's not what we wanted. What is the... That worked out. That worked out pretty good. That worked out pretty well. There we go, there's a jackpot. Yeah, I have a feeling the Williams one is shit. The Stern one is kinda the best one ever. Woo! Weapon, that's quite a wish listing out there, buddy. The Walking Dead, we actually streamed... We were the first people to stream The Walking Dead at the CERN launch party at Chicago Pinball Expo. Um, that game needs a few more code updates before we decide whether or not we love it. I just played the new code. I played the new code this weekend and it's pretty fun. Awesome, well thanks for calling me, Nick. That's really a sportsman like of you. It was like a Sunday night. Yeah, where am I on a Sunday night? I'm sitting in my underwear crying into a bowl of popcorn or something. Just take a look. I can't even look as it's... $392. Damn it. Yeah, you better start saving up the money, man, because that's quite a collection you want there. Yeah, my list used to include such things as Medieval Madness, Spider-Man. $13,000 pinball machines. And then I decided to not do that. To be completely honest, you can have a beautiful collection for about six grand. You could buy like four machines for $6,000 and be completely happy with what you have. And it's enough, like, I guess, I don't know. Like you can get a really good 90s game, not on brand, like not a big popular one, for like $1,500. $1,500, yeah. $2,000. Totally. And like something like The Getaway, in really good condition, $2,200. something like, uh, Fishtails, and it's like 20. Yeah. Hot, hot, actually Roadshow isn't very expensive either. Um, yeah. Yo, beat that. I will beat that, ding dong. God, why do you do so good? I know you do me well, I can't get there, you really beat that. Donate to kids, folks. Alright, here we go. Swip. Fucking slip. Oh, good catch, man. Martha Clinton, right? Yo, Martha Clinton. So I already have my left ramp, so I want my right ramp. What the? Yeah, free! Yo, you doing stretch on there? Yo, I'm doing it like I'm hating doing it. Quit! Be in a crash. Quit! Oh no. You want the right ramp, my friend? Can I do this? No. You can back up that right ramp. That feels sort of dirty. Oh, jeez. Dirty 30, right there. Shove it. Oh, man. Shove it. Why am I doinking so freaking hard? Man, you are a serious doink. Give me your backhand. There you go. No. Okay, let's forehand this, actually. Okay. Wait, what am I shooting? Wait, this is the right ground. You mother... That's right, you still have one more ball. Here's the deal. Come on, folks. Look, you give me an audience, I start playing along. Here's the deal. That's how this works. Don't get the cat out of here. Jables, we used to own a Judge Dredd here for a while. Happy? You happy? Well, I actually couldn't be happier. This studio's only recycled a handful of games, and that would be a Lord of the Rings, a Judge Dredd. Those were sold off. Spider-Man used to be here. A white water used to be here. Just read. Tron. Tron used to be here. That is it. Okay, that's it. And then our friends. Right now we have on loan a road show. We have a road show on loan. We have our friend Brad. We have a dark night on loan from Gavin, from Gavin's game service. And we have a fish pails on loan from Brad Zac Stark, a fellow Deadflip member. He was just here earlier. He was here earlier, but you folks joined a little after he left. All right, so I'm going to beat Nick really quick. Why do I keep looking down like there's lava? I don't know. You look like you have spiders, like, past you. Don't say spider. Aren't they spiders, man? You're all disgusting. Also, mind games have a lot to do with pinball. Thanks for showing up for my giant game we're going to have to play. You and your giant game. And let's just make sure it's not a fluke here, folks. 900 for Harlem Globetrotters? Holy crap. Wait, 900... is that pounds? What is that shape? I'm not trying to be a idiot here. I really don't know. Get up, yet? Well, anyway, the gentleman that donated the roadshow is also donating a Harlem Globetrotter, which would be fun. Okay, Clock Millions. So, here's some more strategic stuff. Obviously, I want Multiball, but if I go into Multiball with Clock Millions running, that means every time I hit this middle target, which you just kind of hit a lot, I'm going to get another, like, 7 million or whatever. Especially in a Multiball, you're going to hit that a hell of a lot more than you normally would. So, what I want to do is get either the slot machine or the piano before I get the Multiball, which is up that ramp. Our, hold on, oh, our piano light is out. Yeah. Okay. Here we go. I'm going to try and block the machine. Oh, baby, that was right in there. Jables, are you inquiring how we play the same game all week because you get tired of it? What you don't see is when we turn the stream off, we immediately run to our favorite game in the studio and play four games in it. Whoa. Get over here. Cut! Ah, bang! Okay, we need some jackpot here, folks. It's the Tom's Currency of the British Master Race. I'm telling you folks, if you get an older pin, which, you know, like early 90s or earlier, those games don't, they're not that hard to prepare, honestly, and they're going to be cheap to buy. And if you're looking to get into the hobby, that's a great way to start. Because if you figure out how to fix a thing yourself, and you buy a game for like $700 or $1,000, and then just learn how to fix it, make it a sexy machine, and then flip it and go buy a nicer machine, that turns into a whole big thing for you. And being able to know how to fix a pinball machine yourself saves you a crap load of money in the end. Tell me about it. We have a friend of machines here, so we can take care of small stuff like rubbers and cleaners and stuff like that. There we go. Powerball. Powerball! Oh, it's just on the door. Alright, folks. Mike Berwer! I'm a switch. Uh, like I say before, and I say to everyone, if you folks are anywhere near Chicago, give us a shoutout ahead of time. We'll build a little sports graphic for you. You're more than welcome to come to the studio and battle us on the street. We have a lot of Chicago's top 300 players in the world battle us. We are not as incredibly good as those guys, but we're getting there. Lost my powerball there. It's been locked. Exactly what I didn't want. Oh, you locked it away? Yep. So, let's see, battle the pirate. Get a little slot machine action. Return to your home. Best lives. So this multiball is $8 million per shot over there on that side of the world. $5 million. No one hit Cousin It, but the background this time, People recycle a lot of pinball soundbites and pinball graphics. Yeah, the Fast Lock pin based on that. Like on Roadshow, if you're in the Miami bikini mode, you'll see the robot from Twilight Zone walking in the background back and forth. It's pretty cool. Both Pat Lawler games, correct? Yes. Yep. Pat Lawler, the guy who also designed Foothouse? And Adam's family. And Adam's family, there you go. And Monopoly. And not Tales from the Crypt. What's the... Ripley's Believe It or Not, I think he made. And I think he also made... He did Ripley's? Ripley's, and I think he made Monopoly. And he made Whirlwind. He made Earthshaker. Earthshaker. He made... Oh, I think we're getting there. Uh, rump shaker? Mm. Sweet as candy. Sweet as candy. Rump shaker? Dude, you're playing incredible pinball right now. Well, all I want to do is... And I'm going to zoom. I'm talking to the screen. And then zoom and a boom boom. Oh, just shake your rump. Yeah, yeah. You son of a bitch. Oh boy folks, this is what I wanted. I want the Powerball back. All I want to do is zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, boom, boom. Get it up, yep. Oh God, it's really tough when you think you got it and you don't. Oh, green into multiball? Thank you. Come do it. You're higher. How does that work for you? Hee hee! Ooh! I'll give it back! Give it back! Mother! That was so deep! I pressed my stuff on that one folks. So I want the right ramp. I want the right ramp now. I want some right ramp now. And I want some right ramp because it's worth a lot of points. First impressions may get me sort of... I lost it. Uh oh. Gorgar speeds! Gorgar, I believe, was the first speaking pinball machine. I think that ain't right. Yeah. Gorgar was the first pinball machine with a voice, for instance. Oh, gosh. Where are these scores coming from, man? I tell you, man. Put me on the spot, and I'm on top of it. Put me on the spot, and I'm playing like it's hot all the while. Aw. Well now I got a lock. The D&D still works a lot. Shoot lock to start multiple to bowl. So that's my second lock to bowl. That's right, it works on three chips. Yeah, totally. Got my second multiple. And we're gonna try some more jerk toss. Heard him talk? Here we go. Our dog. I'm gonna readily dump the crust over him. Oh! Here is your treasure All of you . . .
