All you need to do is wear your glasses and make sure there are no missing quotation marks or anything. I'll have to try a new version. The table is awesome, but the physics are really holding it back. I mean, don't expect visual pinball physics. But I guess you don't. But pretty good physics. Color blue! Oh, man. Okay, let's get the so I was talking to Terry. I was like Terry. Why does this game slap so much? He's like because of the music Because the music slaps Now my Flip stream easy there, bro You know 150% of my time You know what 150% of my time Is being Used Right now On 200% of my time I'm gonna wait Until May Look If it's just us Our Friends I'm cool with that You know I just I love Everybody who comes to stream But if a few more people roll in I will make the announcement About Friday being the first mystery pinball theater movie in a long time theater 3.0 is what we're calling it so funny 3.0 is happening this friday 9 p.m pacific we are watching a movie we are riffing to it and we are seeing some cool stuff that was uh supported by not only flipstream but surreal and joey picasso bam those are all the people who helped work on this thing so there you go astro nicey what's up Friday, be there, be square.

All right. What's up, HopDog? I still owe you a shirt. I need to send you your shirt. What is wrong with me? I need to send you your shirt. Sorry. You're going to be mad at me. Let's see. It's a bam. It's bam with a side of Future Pinball. That is correct. Future Pinball exactly like VPX, except you can front back. Oh, I already read that. uh future people can do cool things now so it's pros and cons i'm gonna let the chat there's so many pros in the chat uncle ecstasy i'm gonna let them i'm gonna let them cover this because there's people in the chat who knows who knows way more about future pinball than i do i'm just like a little bit of a fanboy for this particular table and terry did an amazing job at this look at this look at the whole thing it's the invisible no there's a there's actually a little light there Can you guys see it? The little light is projecting around It doesn't make any sense But okay Good music The music on this slaps It really does No worries I still get it Okay It looks I mean Come on Give me extra balls Yeah! Ooh! Ooh! I got two Sonics left. I need to light Mania Modes really bad. And I forget how to do it. There it is, it's lit. Here we go, here we go. No, I don't wanna go in there right now. Crap. All right, I got the shield, that's good. I'll take the shield. Bounce there you go. Oh, that was a slowest friggin dead bounce. I've ever seen in my life. Oh That's your fault guys 50 more rings Look at how I can backhand that shot up there. That's pretty sick crap And then you immediately need to get it back up there again Oh, that's cheating. Are you guys seeing how I'm cheating that shot? That's cheating. Here we go, here we go. Okay, what am I missing? Let's do bot bashing because I lost bot bashing last time. I hope I can make an original table one day, just like Terry. I was hoping it would trigger the flippers automatically. Cheating. I can never make the mode shot on this one. You gotta hit the checkpoint. I don't exactly know how to light that, but eventually the checkpoint happens. The rules are in here. The rules for the PDF are here. Remember Blind Mankind Pinball? That was the developer behind the virtual dead hunters table. I don't remember that. So I gotta kill all the bots right now. That's one. I do want to kill the crab up top because he's a pain in the butt. Oh, I got two. Oh, you got to kill the thing coming down the side too. Let's see if I can get... Crap. Don't kill me, ladybugs.

The baller installer is great and a curse at the same time. You know why it's great? Because you put it on a cab that has no physics. I mean, not no physics. No haptics and nothing. And just maybe two flippers. And it just gets things running. And it's a curse because now you're stuck with a wooden box that doesn't do click, click, click, plop, plop, plop. But it plays pinball. It plays pinball just fine. so it's a bit of a curse because you don't have you don't have to spend hours and hours and hours configuring what was that i didn't see that achievement and i will what was that achievement drain from the out lane within a minute Let me see if I can do this. I guess the game is over. for flipstream dfconfig is his own beast yes yes based on says ordered some more upgrades for my cap today new amp new audio amp Ryan Policky that's that's what i need i need an audio amp i need i need i actually i actually never turned my pinball machine up past like three so i think i don't need it uh nobody has time for that we we live in a give it give it to me now surreal you ready for friday bro oh you made emotes nice hence all the people who would pay good money for a pre-built loaded cab uh with tables from five years ago You need more than 1080p mode I guess I do I'm looking into it guys Really slowly but surely I'm looking into it I will be the owner of the best V-Pin on the planet You mark my words Oh mark them, mark them down Look at this, look at this attract mode It shows you how to play the game Hit all three drop targets and lock three balls for multiball Collect rings as you play And bank them in any order Any rings not banked are lost Isn't this great?
