TL;DR

SDTM streams Lord of the Rings pinball gameplay with mechanics discussion and friendly competition.

Summary

Greg and Zach Sharpe from Straight Down the Middle stream extended gameplay of The Lord of the Rings pinball machine. The video features casual, competitive play between the hosts with frequent chat interaction, discussion of game mechanics, rules depth, and comparisons to other classic machines like Medieval Madness and Monster Bash. Audio and visual quality checks occur throughout, and the hosts praise the game's theme integration and rule complexity.

Key Claims

  • The Lord of the Rings has one of the best mini-wizard modes ever designed

    high confidence · Greg asks 'Is there a better mini-The Wizard mode you've ever seen?' and both agree there isn't one.

  • The Lord of the Rings is harder than Medieval Madness in the long run

    medium confidence · Chat member Turbo asks which is harder; hosts discuss Medieval Madness being 'an ass-kicker' but agree LOTR is tougher long-term.

  • The Lord of the Rings has better theme and story integration than Ghostbusters

    medium confidence · Greg states 'It's even better than Ghostbusters' regarding theme immersion and story integration.

  • The playfield art on The Lord of the Rings could be improved and would benefit from a vault/remaster

    medium confidence · Chat requests new playfield art; hosts agree it would be 'awesome' but acknowledge it likely won't happen due to Avatar licensing.

  • The Lord of the Rings has very long ball times that are necessary to complete rules depth

    high confidence · Greg notes 'Ball times are long on this' and later states 'If you couldn't have long ball times like The Hobbit, you can't get through still.'

  • The game's upgraded flippers can kick balls out aggressively if you don't maintain control

    high confidence · Greg explains 'especially with the upgraded flippers, how they just fly. If you can get a control, it's a very controllable game.'

you We're live. All right. I think that's something I can go stick to. That's the only bad thing. What's up everybody, this is Greg and Zach from Straight Down the Middle of Pinball Show. Good morning to you, good morning. We're playing a little Laird of the Rings today. shoot me a little chat let me know what the audio sounds like if we've got good game audio if it's too loud voice audio etc Oh, please, I don't think it is. I feel like we can go right here. Yeah. What? That's a yeah. Oh, okay. Now, I guess we just pull that out. I got you. Yeah.
2:05
Oh, I can't do it. I'll probably turn off that thing. Yeah. Yeah, I know. I don't know. Hmm. Ba-ba-bam-bam. you're not gonna lose anything go ahead man no I have no idea what I'm doing like maybe I ain't worried about no skill shot ain't nobody got no time for that
2:59
So, will anything that I need to shoot light up? Right now you're shooting right up. Let's see. Woo!
3:16
Yep, great stuff. Might show you how to play this. Good ball time. All right, so look, skill shot. See how these alternate lanes, tower, flipper, right? If you do lanes, you've got to hit it to the rollovers. If you do flipper, then I'll lock it in. You just plunge it whenever it's on there. And then when you go to flipper, you'll have to hit one of the lit shots. But the best one to do all the time is tower. And then you have to plunge where it hits that back tower and goes in there, because then it will go up top. And when you go up top, you have to save 5,000 souls to start returning to king. And it's hard to get in there any other time. So you want to make sure to do it on your plunge.

    • 4:03
    So look, I did too much. Oh, that's right. See, look, I'm going up there. The ones that are blinking are worth $500. The other ones are worth $250.
    4:25
    See, I can get $5,000 of them. And they roll if you're up there, too. Yeah, so one of those up there will roll as well.
    4:37
    I started seeing the emojis. Yeah. All right, what do I get ahead? The buck? Did you hear that? So you went through there and made the hit too hard? Yep. That's what I said, that's tough. It does if you hit it right like that. Alright, now what do I gotta do? Got to hit that shot up there.
    5:19
    And again, as I'm shooting these shots, I'm lighting my fellowship here. Get out of there! Get in there!
    5:44
    Get out there. There we go. Now I got, what do I got now? No it won't. We'll praise that here. No it won't. We'll praise that, here. That was a clear error. Ah. Yeah, that's not even a huge problem. Yeah, it's not even a huge score difference. I'll make that up. Oh, I didn't even get two shits about that skill shot again. Hehehe.
    6:37
    See, the one's bling and the one's eating. Oh, okay. Yeah, I really want one. Bad. Oh, the middle is very lucky.
    7:05
    He just talks like it's so easy. Oh, yeah. Woo! Oh! I don't know why the chat's doing it. I'd try to refresh that or something. Yes. I'm not even... Okay, so I can hit those guys. Oh, instead I can... Oh, you're dead. You're dead. Oh! What? Yeah, oh yeah. Get ready. Get ready. Awww! Blow it? Yeah, oh yeah. I believe you're working. I think it's the lack of coffee that I'm having. Can I have two more of that, probably? I like the coffee. I don't need no mother sucking coffee. Especially when you got Pepsi. Did it pop up? Oh, looks like it's going down right now. What's everybody doing today? Friday. Happy Friday to everybody. working on here. It was trying to reload. Yeah. How's the audio sound, guys? Everybody cares about my audio, Greg. Alright, so I'm actually going for the skill shot since I know how to play pinball. Alright, what do we got here? The dead are coming. I want I'm going to get to destroy the ring for you guys. That's what I'd love to do. Mackie J! Booyah! A little ward battle. Yeah Waspin, you want to floor the rings, don't you? This is actually my neighbors, my buddy.
    9:07
    Oh, you ain't gonna do shit. My goal is to beat you every single game we play here. Oh, yeah. That won't happen.
    9:29
    Here we go. Off the clock. Nope. I hate when it counts down, dude. It messes with me. See, I don't even put the pressure on him.
    9:39
    I do fuck under pressure. Two, one. I like that. He's an asshole, though. He gets right in your way, you can't start a nose.
    9:48
    There we go. See, now he's in my fucking way. Thank you, big glowing beast. We're both having a pretty shitty game here. Big glowing beast is my friend.
    10:06
    Oh yeah, definitely kept it up. All the shots you made. You like that? I didn't even try. I forgot all about it again. Oh, nice one, Ron!
    10:22
    Chainsaw Rock Ramp! Which is... oh, that was a good one. War Battles with the Left Ramp. What's considered the Left Ramp? The ring? Oh, that's a ring? Yeah, that's a ring. Oh, ooh! Couldn't hit that shot earlier. One thing will go you good. That was fantastic. Keep going. There it is. Oh, look at that. Got those combos going. They just killed a bunch of wards. Oh, we got a huge kill shot. Huge kill shot. Woo! We've got another one. We've got five of those. This game... Now there's a nudge sniper up there. Oh, imagine too much. You've got to be married. ...hundreds.
    11:22
    Now I just want to shoot any of this shit. Now you're just killing wards with the lid shot. You got a number on the right. And you got fellow crew split, so left orbit will start multiple. Five! One down to four, two hundred, back to the north. Yeah, well, here's the color you need for the Lord of the Rings. Get in there! Woo! That's good. I think. Left orbit, left orbit. Left orbit for one moment. One, two. You might beat me on the first attack. Woo! Look out! I told you that shit was coming back. Oh, I did?
    12:24
    You didn't get your clothes on. Come down. I need a little bit of some video game. I'm gonna do a lot of turn around. Stay in the frame. Stay in the frame.
    12:48
    Come on, bitch. Come on. Oh my god, bullet past me. Come on, baby. Ugh, got slipper hands going on. I'm not going to wait for that. No! Oh, come on. Hey! Why is it not allowing me in the hole? I'm trying to think which one you mean. Oh, you mean the starter mode. I know, it won't let me in the hole. You have to like, make the mode eligible somehow. Well, we're going multiple, that's what it's called. What is my purpose on this? I don't know. Okay. Oh, I'm still on the switch. Should have left it up there in front of you. I'm still on the switch. I don't know how I'm supposed to get in. Didn't see any children up there in front of me. I'm trying to get through. I'm going to try to get this guy. What is that for? Woo-hoo! There we go. That was the most part of the move. Okay, so now I've got to hit that ramp again. Yeah, hit it again to sort of move. I love this move. I don't know which team it is. I thought it was Silver. It's comeback time! This makes good sense. Every time I come over here I... TurboGrafx, what's happening? Good morning, happy Friday! Good morning, Turbo!
    15:38
    Jacked up on coffee and soon to be Pepsi. Ah! Oh, shit. It's like mother-in-law heaven. I love the call-out song. I'm just jacking souls like gingers over here. It's like mother-in-law heaven!
    16:04
    I love to call that one. I'm just jacking souls like gingers over here. There's my son! Oh!
    16:22
    Jackpot! I'm going to shoot that left ramp. I'm going to get that left ramp on this one. This one. I do like the countdown. It kind of puts the pressure on.
    16:50
    Oh, sorry. Swimming, swimming, swimming, swimming, swimming. Get on those little things. Still believe in the great mobile. You will Frodo.
    17:05
    Uh oh. No. Yeah this one brings the place really well. Yes it does. I'm all jacked up right now. Woo.
    17:21
    Zach's like, they're shaking. He's like, I know I'm never going to come here. I want to hear my voice.
    17:34
    That's the only bad thing about my football. Like, you have to touch everything. Only catchers. I think that's the weird way you get it turned. Well, I thought. You talk down to people. Oh, my ball. I got it this time. Yeah, if you were to start at returning the key, then after that mode you could have started
    17:55
    Oh, you're up to the assholes. So you need to focus on getting them up there, that fucking skill shot. You gotta have a tower. Right within that tower. Don't over drive. I'll get it back up there. Ah, come on. I'm not going to hold onto that.
    18:16
    See, otherwise it starts to get up into the... Up in the rain? Or all up in that... Yeah, that tower.
    18:26
    What's your A-game holding right now? Woo! Oh shit. This is going to fall off too. Probably just dropping in on the lights. I would never leave my basement if I had this game.
    18:46
    I'd never leave the basement if I had this game. I'd have to take two weeks off work. Tower. Tower. Oh, no, it's on flipper.
    19:21
    You're ramp jumping. But that was fun. TurboGrafx is leaning towards a medieval madness, but Monster Bash is calling me to. What would you take? Medieval madness or Monster Bash? Man, I haven't put a lot of time on Monster Bash. I like it a lot. I like the theme, honestly, with the hair better.
    20:06
    But, man, it's a tough one. Shootin' the Castle gets old, but Shootin' the Castle's fun. Yeah, they're about even, I think. Yeah.
    20:14
    Alright, I've got some catching up to do. Alright, so I've got Fellowship lit and ready to go, left orbit.
    20:22
    I still need to lock some balls for two towers, and I need to return the king up to the path of the dead.
    20:33
    Alright, Zach. Get in it. I think you got through almost all the modes, didn't you? I had no idea. He did. Yeah, he did pretty good.
    20:48
    Oh, get in there. There we go. That's what I like about that ring, because it's not a jimmy. Sometimes it'll go into the ring, sometimes it won't. We have ball porn? Yeah. Well that was good. That was good for him.
    21:26
    I agree Turbo, it really is. That ass looks to be kind of tough on brains, but it is. It gives people something to chew that, and it's pretty good. I feel like Medieval might be actually a tougher game.
    22:01
    Oh, yeah. I think it's probably tougher in the long run. Yeah. Medieval's kind of an ass-kicker every time I play it.
    22:14
    Let's get back up there. So this mode right here opens up that tower for you, but it also helps get to your return to the king.
    22:24
    See what I mean? See that little diverter? Yeah. And I've also got my lock, if I can light that. I just want to go for that right now so I can get those 5,000. I just want somebody to redo the playfield art. Oh, I know. A vault would be awesome on this, but I don't think they'll ever do it with the LE.
    22:46
    All right, that should be enough, right? About there, 5,000 is what I need. Yeah, I'm there baby. One more shot up there. Boom!
    23:09
    I agree Turbo, like I kind of strive for the same thing, like because I'm not a real big people person, but I do like to have some family and some non-pickball people over, so I kind of focused on always having a game for the people to play.
    23:31
    I used to care about that. I'm not the only mother stucker playing. This is going to be close. Oh, come on. Light an extra ball if I can get that gift to the elves. If you complete a mode, you get one of those gifts to the elves up there.
    23:56
    You see what I'm saying? One of those. Yeah. And you have to get so many to get the Balinor. You've got to get all of them. Oh, fuck.
    24:04
    Oh, fuck. Alright. Here we go. Set it up right here. Oh, missed it. Oh my god, bricked it again. Right ramp.
    24:37
    I like the multiballs too because you're actually, it's like a mode. You're trying to beat them. And they are tough.
    24:45
    Oh shit. What is up, Jack? Who's on here? Shit! Why is it not giving me that? Alright, what do I need? It's not letting me light that freaking extra ball, for some reason. By hitting that left ring? Yep. Well, you're supposed to if you hit it up there to the gift. But I've done that, but it didn't give me shit.
    25:38
    Ah, shit. Alright, calm it down, Zach. Alright, so I've got Fellowship of the Ring completed. Return of the King completed. I need two towers, which is the lock shots right here. See how that lock is lit? You light the locks by going over the rollovers of Keith.
    25:57
    What's up, Jackost? Or Jackost? Or whatever it is. You got something to visit? Alright. Still have my gift lit and my lock. Let's see if I can backhand that. I almost got it! I got one more ball. Am I close yet? You got to be fairly close. I don't think so. I think you took off pretty good.
    26:27
    You want me just to plunge? No, no, no, you go ahead. Okay. Send your record sending in, Jowl's Bull. Jowl's Bull? Alright, what do I need? Yeah, that's not going to be record setting, that's for sure. Oh! Lock the bin! Thank you, sir, for your bid! Waspy, hooking up some bids? Little bid action! Yeah, those bids are for me, ain't they, Waspy, for kicking this sumbitch's ass! Alright, so my lock is lit, I still need to focus on that if I can. I dedicate it to our mom. Oh that's nice. Right? I dedicate some bits to Greg's mom, but she's right there on the play field, that ugly beast. You know she'll strangle you next time she sees you. That's why your mom is Batrog. wrong Give me that extra ball There it is Light extra ball right there But I do in the name of your mother Oh did he get it to me That is so weak You guys want to see me destroy a ring
    27:55
    That's what I'm planning to do. Only game I had any hope of beating your eye. I hate that right ramp, man.
    28:07
    There it is. Did it not lock that ball? Mystery! Shots fired! There we go! There it is, good, third multiball. Two towers.
    28:43
    Jackpot one! I think I might not. All right, all three of them are lit. Destroy the ring. Right at the middle. Destroy the ring. up the extra ball. But I'm going to try to hit it from that right flipper. Missed it. Breathe everybody. Alright, you guys ready? I was just joking. Really? There we go.
    30:03
    There we go! How bad is this? There it is. I'm fighting against Gollum. I've got four shots to get first.
    30:14
    I think Gollum's going to kick your ass. He might. Gollum. I can't ever hit him when I need to. Oh. Rejected. Alright, Zach, cool down here. There's one.
    30:35
    There's two, actually. I just got spotted for that one. Step down. Left ramp. Right ramp. Boom! Now I've got to hit it right up the middle here.
    30:53
    Don't choke, Zach. Don't choke. Let the people see it. There it is. He's holding. Now I get to knock him over. He's holding me. This is it. I hit it and I beat it. Here it is.
    31:10
    Did I get him? Boom! Everything goes crazy. F yeah, everybody. Look at that. Beep, beep, beep. How badass is that?
    31:29
    Destroy the ring. One minute, one second. You have done very well. Look, Valinor awaits, but there is more yet to do. Win Fellowship of the Ring, and you go through all the other shit.
    31:39
    That's intense. That's pretty cool. Yeah. Is there a better mini-wizard mode you've ever seen? No. So that's like one-tenth of the weight of Valinor. One-tenth. Yeah. See, I've only got one Gift of the Elf. I need to fill up all those. I need to get through all the modes there. There's other shit to do. I just want to go next level. I like that Greg's sitting here like a little bitch watching me play and just master this game.
    32:06
    You keep staying in there. Here we go. Still going to talk to your mom, I guess. I'm fine with that. I just want to play pinball.
    32:23
    I love that left ring, but I hate that right there. That's going to be like Forrest Gump. He's on vacation.
    32:39
    Can't sit here. Oh, Mac Jedi, thank you for those bits, sir. Was that a little destroy the ring bit? I think it was. Thanks, buddy.
    32:49
    Without me, I'm jacked up now. I'm ready, Greg. Valinor, here I come. Not hardly. You need like 12 balls just to get to Balinor.
    33:02
    Nine. I hate when he counts, man. I can do a lot with only two balls. What? Look here. That's good stuff.
    33:22
    That's good stuff right there. Super Wing Frenzy. I got two gifts of the elves. I got a complete mode to get gifts of the elves. You can do that with chip bones! That's what I'm laughing about though. I was thinking about it, I was like, what can you really do?
    33:42
    That's amazing. Ball! I need to lock some balls here. Five! Four! Three! Frodo, chill out. Nothing. One! So you gotta hit the ramp for the lock. Yeah. Alright, so I can lock a ball, or I can get a mode going again. You know, ball times are long on this. Yeah. It's pretty good, but it's very satisfying the whole time. That's right. The problem is, it can kick your ass, like, especially with the upgraded flippers, how they just fly. If you can get a control, it's a very controllable game. But it's got to be with how deep it is. If you couldn't have long ball times like the Hobbit, you can't get through still. Yeah.
    34:47
    So, I do not know the way. Alright, what'd I start here? Oh, it's still in sort of mode? Yep. Damn it.
    34:58
    Well, we got two modes left. Ah. All right, you going to hit that shot one more time, Zach? There we go. I love his mode, look at that. How cool is that? Here's a monster in Harry Potter! The Shalob. Isn't the Shalob like a Jewish spider? Goddamn, man, thank you. You got dad jokes in the morning here. Should I have an extra ball? Okay. Yeah Jack, I think it would be great as a vault. New art package, new trim.
    36:01
    Alright. Don't say nothing about trim. Wait for you to say that. No, I didn't, man. Like, they just update, because that play-doh is what always really, really kills me about it. It's faded, yeah. It's just faded a little bit. And even the side art gets faded a little bit. I think they could do better with the high gloss stuff. Like, yeah. Don't it look like that, though, from the factory, basically? What's that? Yeah, no, yeah, that's right. What? That's it. That's what's holding the rope in place? Alright. Yeah, I see the problem with the same thing going on with there. Gandalf versus Salomon.
    36:35
    Let's see if we can get Gandalf screaming here. Or is it Salomon? I don't know what his name is. See that save?
    36:46
    Your mom taught me that. Oh! See if I can't... See, you're not going anywhere in this game unless you defeat the modes.
    37:02
    And the modes are hard. There's that. I feel like the audio might be a little bit too loud on the games. Might have to turn it down. Let me just open that door up. Yeah. I didn't turn it down, did you turn it back up? No, I didn't touch it. Well, when you go into multiballs and stuff, it gets louder, which is kind of a cool feature.
    37:26
    Gets you pumped up. I do. That's why everybody says like this, it pulls you in. The theme and the storyline. Oh, hell yeah. You feel like you're really in the movie.
    37:38
    It's even better than Ghostbusters. Yeah, it is. They're not a better integrated theme like to get you into the story like this
    37:55
    The whole stream is gonna be me playing Lord of the Rings No one more I Think it's like 300 and stuff. No, I'm not gonna get there
    38:12
    Yeah. Alright. So, I gotta get through. I got all the modes. I think... I don't know how to start there and back again, but I might be close, which is... It's just phenomenal, too.
    38:28
    All the modes done. Yeah, the hobby does. I agree. I'm not a huge fan of the game, but it does. Oh, dude, I had it loaded.
    38:46
    Loaded. I think Daring Back Again was right there. Damn it. I actually like the Hobbit movies, too. People hated them. I like them. Give me that $100 million.
    38:57
    Hey, thanks, everybody, for the bits. Appreciate that. That was a good game. So weak. So, so weak. Go ahead and play one by yourself. What? You go ahead. I ain't going to. What?
    39:12
    Word! Need to learn those rules, don't I? Work on plunging into the tower. Oh, and I missed that tower. Ah! Oh, Frodo. Ah! Come on, baby. Come on baby. Come on Frodo. Nice Frodo. Oh. I want this to do something. It's almost like you can't nudge it. The more you nudge it, it almost hinders it in a sense. That, the soul thing up there, I said sometimes, like, it's almost like if you nudge it, it wants to work its way down faster sometimes.
    40:20
    Well, not that time. That was really fast. Try this! Let's try this! Oh, I was watching what was flashing. Damn it!
    40:48
    I know the modes a little better. Yeah, Zach's a lover of that Hobbit. Oh, I forgot my skill shot again. Look at that. You didn't see Zack balance a ball like that, did you? That's kind of a... bitch, get in there.
    41:16
    The hum of a magnet in the morning. This is the shit I already did? Oh, nasty. Nope! Ball one. Oh, I forgot that damn skill shot again. Get too excited to play. Unless you pull the door.
    42:08
    Get it up in there. Swing! Oh, you just spit it out, eh? Oh. Hey, hey, hey. No. Evansville dock? Oh, it'll be there. He's a freaking UTF man. Why don't you go pick it up?
    43:03
    See, you should have sold me that batman. I said we go over there and we set it up for him. And we play it.
    43:29
    You fight for it. It's the mystery. Didn't necessarily want to do that. I want to hit the pippin. Did I get that? get that. Uh, I'm thinking that don't give me that, give me a shot. There we go. Oh, and this is where we have no idea what we're supposed to do. Nice. I just want souls. No, All the souls in the world.
    44:42
    Already in a multi-ball. Already done turned this shit up. What's your mind on this pinball machine? Great thing you know how to play.
    44:59
    Oh, no. Woo. Oh. Don't blow it, Greg. It's getting real. Oh. Too many balls in one hole. That was a good one.
    45:55
    I knew better. More of these across the bridge. Double-kicking on us. They're gonna throw those through there!
    46:30
    So close! The damn outlay! Damn! This shit is great! I love this. Oh shit! Just big points. I need all the points I can get.
    46:58
    You're an awesome man. I'm an awesome? Yeah, big points from the elves. Here are the big points from the elves. Says Elfstone Clonary. Jones. Oh, John Connery. What was that? It was improv, dude. Nice ball one. Thank you, sir! Oh!
    47:36
    Oh, I gotta remember that tower. in that tower. I don't know what I'm going to do other than just... Woo!
    47:58
    Whoa. Killin' walks! Well, I might have to work a little harder and up my pinball budget. Because I have fallen in love. Oh!
    48:29
    Oh! bes". Redeemable . Help me, I'm not alone. Small stones! Give me all the sto- oh look at them stones! Look at them stones!
    49:13
    Yaaaaa! Oh! Oh yeah, dude, I would take a Mad Max pin. That'd be pretty damn awesome. Hell yeah, you don't like that? I'm not a big fan of Mad Max.
    49:43
    I go new or the old. Big trouble a little time. I don't mind that movie. But I'm not a big fan. There's a lot of people that are big fans of that. So nice. You better help Gandalf out there. No, he's probably going to get screwed. You better help him. What do I have to do to help Gandalf? Hit the ramps? Yep. There you go, Gandalf. Too much.
    50:28
    Oh! You need it. Like your mama needed a pair of shoes. One, two, two smalls. Did you get a flash detail on the back of my car? No. Oh. I didn't even look. Let's focus on this game. Pretty cool. Let's see. Don't you love that rim? I, yeah. I honestly don't mind that, that right one. Uh, is that the right rim? Thank you, Gomez, for this awesome game. Uh. I just wanted to let Zach play. I felt bad. A friendly competition. Haha, I agree, Jack. For the Rick and Morty portal, like a ring like that for the Rick and Morty portal. People would love a Rick and Morty thing, wouldn't they? I finally got to watch it. I saw it the other day. It's freaking fantastic. It's pretty cool. I love it. It's pretty cool. I love it.
    51:47
    Oh, I didn't tell you. What? I have to respond within like two hours of whether or not I want to buy a Star Wars Ellie inbox for much cheaper than what they sell for new.
    52:09
    I don't think I want it. Even if it is cheaper. Well, I have to discuss this. I don't know. Or a trade. He said he would accept a trade of the Dark Knight, if I buy it from Schmitty, and the Shadow, and he'll give me $500 and the Star Wars LE.
    52:36
    I told him $1,000. Yeah, that would be more. is worth at least $45. Schmitty, your game ain't worth shit. Schmitty ain't on there. Schmitty's delivering boxes right now. I don't want him to watch this back. Oh, okay. I don't want him to watch this game.
    52:53
    Sucks. How much cheaper? Significantly cheaper than if I were to buy it. But what I'm worried about is that they won't sell them.
    53:05
    So you would trade for it, Jack. What do you mean they won't sell them? You're not going to sell all of them. Oh, I was thinking of Star Trek. No, Star Wars. It's new in box. Star Wars. Really? Was that you releasing yourself? I just caught it.
    53:22
    It was for Star Wars. Uh, man, yeah, I don't know. I'd be kind of terrified. Honestly. The money man in me doesn't mind just picking it up and selling it for a couple hundred dollars more. Yeah, but... And then save somebody else money if they're buying an LE. Yeah. See, I help the people out, Greg. Man, I don't know. This will probably be our last game, I think. Because these games are freaking long. We've been streaming for an hour now. We've got to get to some SDTEM.
    53:52
    SDTEM. You've been drinking already this morning? SDTEM. Hey, you're warmed up. Go ahead. No, you're not. I will probably. I don't care. I'm usually a pretty courteous guy, but this is a great game, so fuck you. You are a courteous guy. Don't we all?
    54:21
    Oh, please. Oh, man. I knew that was it. Oh, and I get... I got to get five, and that's all I'm at? What do I do if I can get a 5,000 souls?
    54:40
    I'm going to get that for sure. We'll get it. We'll see what happens right here. Elijah, what a bunch of birds. I like Elijah Wood back in the day.
    55:21
    Man of mode? So I got to hit everything over there. And then I can hit that shit. Good night Good night Oh you did good Okay That was bad That was bad too
    55:44
    Mmm. Oh, ooh, that was a hit. I think I'm going to need to find a new account. Hey. No more new accounts.
    56:00
    Oh, this is good. What's the following? Ah. What's splashing that? Oh, the orbit. Yeah. I can't get that ball over there. Those freaking coils are so powerful. It's hard to post-pass. Oh, man.
    56:27
    I bet you only have one more shot. I'm falling with that. Oh, so intense. You got to stay over in the side to block your... I was watching that stream. I would even be down for a big buck. That's not terrible. I've never played it. Nick at Biffalo. Buffalo yeah he likes it I just can't own a deer hunting pinball machine at least this tail looks good so I was watching that stream last night of total nuclear annihilation looks good looks really good one of the things I thought was and this is nitpicking but when you tilt the tilt warning is the same tilt warning sound as walking dead it's not cool I don't feel like yes you tip that son's bitch over and still wouldn't but yeah the same sound I thought, eh, because it's an open source free. Yeah. Come on, use anything else. Use that boing, I don't care what you use.
    58:26
    Get in there. Boom, baby. I do not know the way Yeah, that's not expected It is, but Like, retire that sound On to new things Alright, where am I at? I'm not in the mode, I don't think No, I'm not Yeah, I am. Am I? Yeah, I'm in mode. Escape the ring race. Left ring. That's not it. What's everybody doing this weekend? Anything fun? I don't have a campfire. Are you? Yeah, I think I'm going to go over to the Z-Bar. Nice. I'm getting my party on Saturday night.
    59:35
    Too old party. Ugh. Yeah. Have I not escaped this thing? Yeah, I got it. See? the ball since I completed the mode. Locked it in. Light an extra ball. Got to get right there to get it. Extra ball is lit. Right now Greg's looking over my Tron. Don't fucking drill on the glass man. Oh my god you might as well sit down you're never gonna. Oh did I not get it yet? So what do you think of Lord of the Rings Greg? Judge you're at 2400 free shipping? If it's clean it's good.
    60:42
    Gandalf vs. Puddlemon! Try the better V-bar, Wotchi! You need to scream there. You know? I do. I just, uh, I need to get the looting for my mine. Oh, yeah, yeah. Then I will be set up.
    61:08
    Baaaaa! I want to be getting another mode here. That'd be nice. Two for two. Boo! Prices in Europe are higher anyway. Are you in Europe, Jack?
    61:39
    And if so, what part? I think Turbo might win that damn dial down. I feel it. That trans light. He was one of the ones that successfully got it.
    62:05
    The code words. To win, one more shot right up there. I don't think I'm going to get it though. I got one shot left. Here we go.
    62:17
    Boom! What are we doing the drawing next week? No? Probably next week. Greg, it's two for two on those, buddy.
    62:33
    Two for two. Tip or tat, two for two. Nice! What time is it in Germany? Can you do a German accent without offending him? No, not at all. Hey, that's my heritage is German. Yeah, that's like the whole span of Indiana. Yeah. That's a massive bunch of Germans. German heritage, yeah. That's me.
    63:02
    I think both sides. I might be a little Dutch as well, I think. I'm mainly German. But I got a little Native American in me too. See a Cherokee? I don't know. I'm going to start calling you Cherokee.
    63:20
    Boom. Oh my God, Greg. This might be the game right here. This might be a Balinor. Terrible. This might be a Balinor. What do you think? I wish I started a mode before I went into that multiball though.
    63:36
    It's all right though. At least you get to see this game being played, Greg. I don't know what that means.
    63:54
    I need to do one of those ancestry things. Is it? Yeah! I do like Venus missiles, though. I would love to go to Germany, man. I would, too. God, it would be so awesome. But you don't like beer. I don't like warm beer, no. And I don't like thick beer. I like tall beer. I like cheap American watered-down beer. That's what I like. I drink any beer.
    64:27
    Y'all are for real in Germany with your beer. Hey, hurt my belly. That's why I want to go. I don't know if I'd make it home.
    64:35
    You drunk. I missed about three flights before I ever made it back. Zach. Come on. Zach, you son of a... That wasn't very good, was it?
    64:57
    Now I'm also talking Germany all the time. Where's that Austrian? What's the difference? Close. I need to take the wife over to Europe for a trip.
    65:12
    She would like that. I've heard about everything. You should know where my pinball is laying. You ain't going to be playing no pinball. It's a fight you've got. Did you hear that?
    65:26
    George with your designs. You know what, though? In my opinion, this is George Gomez's masterpiece. Oh, yeah. That's monster bashed. This is where it's at. Yeah, this is better than Monster Bash. Yeah, totally. Monster Bash, it's just so pretty. It's cool.
    65:45
    Oh, that's the thing. Did you guys hear that? Let's see if I can go three for three on the mode. Oh, so that opened up. Yeah, because this is the mode that you're trying to break that tower. Remember the tree guys that are throwing rocks at the tower? So that's what you're doing with each of those shots. Ah! Bam! I want one. What if it builds towards your Return of the King? Where am I? Come on, Sours! Come on, you turn- Come on, Sours! Ah! Who needs a ring when you're getting Sours? Uh-oh, here we go! Two towers! We're lost! I love the call-outs on this, man. I want one, Greg. Oh, Zach, you got a multiball. You can complete this mode, dude.
    66:43
    Zach. Got it. Did I get it? I don't think I did. Damn it. Barely missed it, Greg. Barely missed it. Didn't get it.
    67:05
    What am I supposed to be going for right now? Oh, I'm still in orange back or whatever it is. So I can still get in my mode.
    67:15
    If I don't blow it. Zach. Damn it. I messed up that mode, Greg. That really chaps me arse. Speaking of arse, I'd like to go to Ireland. too. That's where you drink some beer too. I drink a lot of beer in America too. Yeah, you do. You drink cheap, nasty beer. I drink anything I can afford that week. Natty Ice.
    67:51
    Some days it's Pat, some days it's the Micro Guru. PBR. Zima. $12 for four beers, sometimes Zima! All right, I'm gonna return to the king here. Oh, I blew it. I just pulled a Greg. Damn it.
    68:15
    Get down there. There it is, baby. How close am I? Ah, it's only a thousand. Yeah, but that's close to themselves. Look at that. Oh, did I get it? I did get it. Yeah. Now it's got to hit the left orb and it'll divert it into there.
    68:30
    That's my goal. Boom! I don't know. Brian Eddy started developing, I think he was doing either mobile gaming or video games. I would love to see him come back. To me, the shadow, there's nothing like the shadow.
    68:56
    It's probably because of the lack of money involved versus mobile apps or video gaming or anything else. For sure.
    69:13
    Sometimes when I get into the zone, I don't even have to look down at the flippers. I just kind of look at my shot up there. I need right orbit. Like, no. Oh, that's right.
    69:27
    Blew it. Right orbit, Zach. Right orbit, baby. Damn it. That right orbit kind of does it. It is tough.
    69:44
    I was really surprised. Oh, now you're going to be the girl in the ring again. Yeah. I see you. I got all my multi-balls done. Bravo, adventure!
    69:55
    You guys think I can go two for two? It's just weird that Stern doesn't recruit him. Yeah, I don't think they pay enough money.
    70:04
    Oh, it's going to shake me and it's going to shake. Well, if I do all four shots and two more shots, it will.
    70:11
    Oh, I forgot. Yeah, I got to do all that. I hit those as quick last time. Usually I blow one of these four shots. I'm good pinball lover yeah that you are may the force of Greg be with you may the force is that a Catholic thing or is that a Star Wars thing may the force of Greg be with you and also with you I was Catholic in a previous life there we go all my family was Catholic yeah German Catholic man I'm telling you I thought he was going to give that to me. One more shot so I can get it in the hole here. I'll drink a little bit of bourbon but I don't drink much liquor. I'm a big fan of Scott. I'll drink some Scott. Scott with a cigar. I'll drink some of that. I'll drink some Scott with a cigar. You would. Oh, hell yeah. Alright, Zach, come on. Stop this bullshit. Let's get it going here. I usually only drink Scotch in the winter around Christmas. I don't know why. It's just a good thing. Drink Scotch around Christmas. Scotch around Christmas. I love that. Alright. Now I gotta get it into the hole. Go into your hole.
    71:39
    Watson said he'd pay you $75 if you hit through the hole and destroyed the ring. Then I wouldn't know him. Shoot!
    71:47
    Oh, it didn't hold it. Oh! I got this shit. Here we go. One more shot. Yeah, I got to hit it out. That's what's fun. He's hanging. See, he's hanging. Uh, no. Here it is! Oh, I didn't hit him! See, that's what I love about this game, right there. You've gotta be on it. You just beat the shit out of this so good, it starts to drain. She got it! Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Woo!
    72:33
    God, that never gets old. That's pretty awesome. What game do you know of that? I like it. Yeah. Two minutes. Last one I got in a minute. Yeah, a minute or something. You have done very well.
    72:48
    Now I have to win Fellowship of the Reef. You have to win those multi-balls. You have to win the multi-balls, Get all the gifts of the elves. Get through all the modes.
    72:58
    Those are hard to win. You can start them is one thing, but you have to win. Now, Valinor's rough, man.
    73:10
    Is it pretty special there? I've never seen it. I think only probably a handful of people have seen it, really. We can get it on video. How badass would that be? Greg wouldn't even bet his own money, but he's trying to bet mine. I love that.
    73:28
    So true, though. I want to get to there and back again. That is a cool-ass mini-wizard, too. I've got to get through all these modes next. And this mode is a sumbitch. You know how they say in the South? A sumbitch. Oh.
    73:47
    I don't think there is a tilt on this thing. There is. It's loose. Eh, we're not too bad on it. No. Backhand left rant? Nope.
    73:59
    Nope. Mystery. Give me something good. I'll take that. Yeah, I'll take that. Oh. You want me to keep playing? Okay. Shoot again!
    74:27
    Anyone know the music of Into the fire Out of the frying pan and into the fire I don't It is good though Aw, too much Oh, start that mode, Sam
    74:51
    If I worked a normal job, I'd probably do nothing but watch pinball. This is ring multi-ball. You don't see this all the time, which is kind of cool. You get two balls and a soul. You get a super ring for jackpot. See the plaster up there? If you do the souls, is there like a second round for the souls? What do you mean? Yeah, then you've got to get like a thousand or something. You just get another multi-ball? Yeah. You've got to go through the multiballs like five times each to get to Valinor, I've heard. Oh, let two go? Alright, what am I, a suit and a ring? So right now I really don't care about this. I'd like to get through starting mode, but you can't until you go through this. I guess it's... See, this is the points that I really don't care about though.
    75:49
    If I was playing a tournament, I'd care right now. I'd hate to see how hard they make these things in tournament play.
    75:58
    You know? I don't know how many times I've hit this damn thing. And that's the other thing that I hate. Is any modes that you can't beat, that you just chase and points, I hate that. All the modes are done. No I still got War Battle don't I? Is that all just by momentum or is there something up there that feeds that all up? What's that? That left ramp? Is that all momentum? Yeah. It's so nice. Yeah it's designed in a way. I think he was spending too much time on this and neglected that. I'm joking, Gomi. I'm joking.
    76:52
    It would be nice to get the extra ball and the golem multiball on top of this mode. Ugh. That's such a hard effing shot, man.
    77:13
    I can give it to him. Oh, it did give it to him. He did. Turbo wants to know how many games you've had. Oh, Turbo. Yeah. If you think Wasp is bad at getting rid of games, I make him look like a rookie. I'd tell it, Wasp.
    77:30
    What? Somebody offered him $45.50. I don't know. If there's... Oh, man. It's tough. Tell him $46.50 and it's a deal. That's tough because that thing is worth 45, 50, definitely. You know what I mean? Yeah.
    77:58
    Now, what do I have to hit? What do I have to hit up here? Let's call in that switch up there. I got one up there, too.
    78:13
    I'm tearing this effing game up today. I don't know what I'm supposed to be shooting for right now. There's nothing better than being in the zone. It looks like everything over to the right.
    78:43
    I'm still battling wards. I'll tell you what. I've got three gifts from the elves. I very seldom. I think five is my most that I've gotten.
    78:57
    But it's hard to get them. All right. See, now I don't know what to choose. Right orbit. Damn it. Where did I start up? Oh, the two towers. That would be pretty easy to take care of that wall. There it is. I hit it twice. And that's the one complaint on this. If you start a multiple, you really don't know where your moat's at. Yeah. Oh, I did beat it because I got another gift from the elves.
    79:36
    I got four balls right now. Good lord. Uh-huh! what? Oh, that's rough. I can tell you it's worth more than that. Yeah.
    80:23
    Ah. See, beating those modes is rough. All right, all my modes are complete. I've got to, I've destroyed the ring. Now, I don't know, I think now is the, uh, they're back again, isn't it? Four rings to collect. Zero rings of men. Oh, you have to collect all those too, I think. All the elf rings, dwarf rings, and man rings. And see, that's how you light them. So...
    80:55
    There's so much in this game, man. Alright, F it. We'll just shoot for the fun of it. There's still ball one Is it really? Yeah With an extra ball holding There's not two I'll be here all night if we need to be We're not going to get shit recorded today man But I can't quit this Depends on what you want to do Wasp Do you want another game really bad?
    81:29
    It's not a horrible offer but I think it's probably about what it's worth. So, it's a tough call, man.
    81:47
    Oh, that's an army. Did you hear that, Greg? All right, let's get it under control. Okay. I got to get the gift, and that's going to start my multi-ball as well. How long does two times score mean? I don't know. But if I could take that into return of the... Well, no, it's going to divert it, though. It's not going to give me that gift. Oh, that's going to put you in a good position. Oh, no, it did. It let me have it.
    82:14
    But it didn't start my multi-ball. But I'll take the two times score. As long as I don't blow it. Hard, are you smelling? Nope. You're good bro. I appreciate you farting right by me when I'm playing. Thanks man! It's like the smell of the giant! The smell of... You smell like a fucking hobbit. I'm just giving you like a 4D feel. Alright, so this is two times scoring into the return score. Are you getting a little red from my... from your shit, my son? No, actually I'm hot right now. So I got four times right ramp. What are my other things here?
    82:58
    Damn it. That was quick. What do I need to get to get... I don know Play six modes to light there and back again. I'm there, aren't I?
    83:40
    There it is. You're all caught for living over there. It's a little higher than ours, isn't it, Jack? How do I start there and back again?
    83:49
    It says to play all six modes to start there and back again. What the hell? Yeah, I have. We're done. And it's not letting me start another freaking mode here. I don't know. Is it legit? No. I still don't know what I need to do now. Two-time scoring is still going. Well, what about air? Do you think you've got to do something? Air gun? Nah, because that's for fellowship. Wasp, you've got to ultimately make that decision of what you do.
    84:33
    See, I don't want to blow it right here, but I don't know. That's not doing shit. All right, I'm going to try to see my status here. All right, so it says right here. Let's see. Spell.
    84:56
    Right there. Six modes play. Play six modes to light there and back again. What the hell? Have you been to? Yeah.
    85:05
    I don't require you to do it twice. I just don't remember what I have to do. They're all flashing. Yeah, Jack, I don't know how that you calculate, like, the cost of living between countries and states. I mean, the cost of living across the United States alone is drastic. Oh, my God. From like us to New York or L.A. or something, like California.
    85:30
    And sort of in the area around where we live, we're actually kind of more fortunate. We're in the cheapest area to live in the country. One of the cheapest areas of the country to live, yeah. Yeah, here $500,000 can buy you a mansion. But in New York, you can't get a one-bedroom apartment. Where in California, you've got like a cinder block house that's about 1,100 square feet. But here you can have a 5,000 square foot home. Yeah, easily. With a basement and a pool.
    86:01
    All right, where's Aragorn at? I'm just going to go through these assholes. Where's Aragorn, Aragorn, Aragorn? I forget what he is.
    86:11
    Shit, man, where's he at? Oh, now that I've answered your question, he's never going to go up there. price with a pen like that.
    86:20
    Am I going to get Legolas? Yeah, Matt and Jed, I mean, yeah, it is. It's nuts out there. What's nuts out there? The cost of living. The price is a very high thing. Oh, yeah.
    86:31
    We've had some friends with just some mediocre jobs that's lived out there for like 10 years or so and got smoky equity in their homes and stuff and come back here and been balling. Yeah. That's what a lot of people do. Yeah. I don't want to leave my home, though. No, I don't either.
    86:53
    Oh, dear. Was that a tail warning? I don't think it did. Come again! Thanks for hanging out today, guys. We really appreciate it. Were you that terrible? I think you told me before.
    87:14
    Alright, Greg, where am I going? See, you light all rings for ring frenzy. That's nothing. How in the hell... Let's see if that'll come up again. Does anybody out there know how to start there and back again?
    87:37
    Because everything's flashing still. Yeah. Mac Jedi's in Cali. TurboGrafx, Wisconsin. Oh, very cool.
    87:48
    Alright. Why can't I get my info, info, info. There it is. Oh, okay. Yeah, you're not too far at all. Right here. Still need that for, okay.
    88:11
    Place six modes to light there and back again. What the hell, Greg? What the hell, man? What's going on? What is that? Play six modes to light there and back again. But it's not starting anymore. No, I've hit that thing four times in a row.
    88:32
    That's the only reason I can't get the Balan order today. I don't know how you do it. Oh, that's neat. Yeah.
    88:44
    I don't know. So I can't start any other modes. What else is there to do here? Well, shitload, but, you know.
    88:57
    I'll just keep it. Oh, there it is. There it is. Shoot the ring to learn the mode, then shoot the flashing shots. This is an awesome mode. So it goes through your whole journey. So if I hit the ring, watch what happens now.
    89:10
    Now I get to hit one of these shots for one of the modes that I played. Here's the music. See? There's the trees.
    89:21
    I love it. Did you get the point? You're trying to defeat all of the scenes that you just did. So now I'm going to hit the ring, and I'm going to hit another shot for another of the modes that I did.
    89:30
    It's like shows the journey that you took. I like the music. It's awesome. People love it. Don't. Oh! Now I'm going to hit one of these shots.
    89:50
    Blew it. Sounds like Mary the Maid. See? See if the knight can go through that one. See that? People love this mini wizard.
    90:10
    Then you try to get the roll and I get three more shots. I've never beat it though. There it is, that. The Witch King.
    90:27
    Ohhhhhhh! You got robbed! That was fun as fuck though. That was all right. Wasn't that cool? You've seen two wizard modes, Greg. I don't mind if I do. See if we can get GC on this thing.
    90:45
    You still don't follow what? Dude, we're going to freaking be here forever, bro. What? You said the game was a scam. Burn it. No, never mind. Oh, never mind. No, never mind. Oh, never mind. We got it. All right. What do I need now? I need Fellowship of the Ring, guys.
    91:05
    Fellowship of the Ring requires me to hit Legolas. What's cool is the second time you get to Fellowship of the Ring, I think you have to hit him in order. Like, Legolas is the only one that's blinking right now. So I think I have to hit that left ring.
    91:19
    I don't think I can backhand it. So you hit him now. Gandalf. Where's Gandalf at? Do you see him anywhere?
    91:33
    Gandalf, Gandalf, Gandalf. Where you at? Right there. Left orbit to start it. We're in a G. I need to memoria. And then I'm gonna defeat the ring twice in the same game on ball one. Ready for that? I believe so! I want your soul. Simba, it is I. I'm going to start advocating for a Lion King because of all the cameras. Right?
    92:12
    A cool man with a awesome. Hey, you know what, though? I'd buy it. I love classic Disney. You're the weirdo that's not seen it, though, right? All the classic Disney? Fuck yeah. Oh, there's somebody I know that has literally not seen any of them.
    92:26
    And I'm like, what the? I'm going to be an animator for Disney. Really? You just took a drawing? No, I'm okay.
    92:34
    He said, I'm okay. I gotta defeat this if I want to get to Valinor. And I didn't. Destroy the ring. Here we go.
    92:54
    The ring is so good. You know what? I'm making it kind of look easy, but before this, I've only destroyed the ring twice.
    93:05
    I agree, Jack. I agree, I agree, I agree. I miss old school animation. Ah, great. Pinball desirables for the host, we appreciate it, man.
    93:44
    Oh, shit, it's only your turn. Oh, I get a turn? Damn it. Only 182 million off. What? Come right back on that one. Oh!
    94:05
    I was enamored by your playing. I'm still blinded. Okay. Oh, Drake. One. Ringy dingy. Two. Ringy dingy. Ah, ah, ah. Get up there.
    94:54
    All right, Zach, plain floppy. Pull together here, bud. Really? Looks like you. I wouldn't think about that! You stick F you. I do not know the line. I will. Look at them all 500. Doesn't matter where I roll. Look at that. Look at that. I haven't started a mode have I? Mega Ninja! Boxing Day! That's why I got the nerf of that phone.
    95:38
    Was that Vexx? Tell me what you're working with! Was that Vexx? I don't know, I can't remember. Ah, I get to play.
    95:53
    I get to play. Why am I stuck on that clipper thing? Come on, don't do that. Get hold of yourself! One hundred more! Five hundred more!
    96:16
    We must join them now! We shall be one! Doing big things in here.
    96:34
    About to catch up. Oh. Oh, you son of a bitch, knocked my ball off there. Oh yeah, you know, it's going.
    98:23
    Isn't it real? The beating rings and shit. Slowly, slowly eating away at your score. I'll just play your ball.
    98:55
    Sam, why? Oh, now the node starts. Why? Ha ha, I'm trying to. Woo! Boom! Dun, dun, dun!
    99:35
    Uh, Lil' Bacon, man, it depends, for sure. He said, how much maintenance does a pinball machine require? Not unless you can buy a new one. Yeah, and even an older one if you're in good shape and, you know, Stuff's kind of been gone through us. Not bad.
    99:53
    I'm Greg's mom. Mom! You know, you just got to wipe them down. Wax them every now and then on the play field. Sometimes you'll have... Sometimes you got to, you know, solder a wire back on or something here and there.
    100:20
    Something comes off. I've got a 27-year-old game. A wire came off and blew a diode. Not good. There are only 128 million more points to go, Greg. Touch up. I'm good there.
    100:40
    So close. Oh! In and out. I know I could literally just spend all day here. Yeah, that's so very true true
    101:50
    God damn you. Don't blame me on that one. Finally. Shut up you, Calvin bastard. I do got him on the run. All right.
    102:38
    We're going to bounce it. Oh, that guy was weak. You know we're not going to have time to film. What? Because you know we're not going to have time to film. You know this is a god damn blast. Where's the... what's going on? Oh. Oh, shit. You were right there. I think you got next to ball, buddy. Yeah, but you know, I didn't want to end that. So the nice one is the multi ball before that. It would have. So get in start close. Oh, shit. Good. That was that. Put down your first hit, Nancy. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, starting up. Oh, oh, oh. Oh no!
    103:56
    Mr. Chirpy gonna attack! YAAA! Oof! Let's tear shit up! Maybe. Damn it. I want to bounce that ball up and then backhand it up that freaking ramp.
    104:52
    No! There we go. I gotta hold some balls. Oh, shit. Whoa. The ring, or that? Yeah, the ring. Every time? Yep.
    105:36
    Oh! You had it rocking the roller, my friend. So exhilarating. Play the game with a shaker motor for the first time?
    106:06
    Oh that's cool, yeah. Shaker motors are the shit. Alright, let's see if I can at least get 200 million here, that'd be nice. Alright, what do I need to do? I've still got a lot, I'm not even close to Valinor. I gotta focus on completing modes. Man, I'm cold now. You've been playing this so long. Why are you limiting it on messages, Block? Because it's so new? On pin side if you do too many, it sets you down for the day. Even us? I pay $35 for the Donor Plus. Oh. So I don't think it restricts me. See now, how do I get a mode lit? Because it's getting harder and harder now. That's what she said.
    107:06
    Alright, what do we got now? I don't even know. I've got four against the elves. That's good. I'll pretend we're doing this game.
    107:20
    A bad ass mess. Yeah. It's been so fucking long, I thought we were in a different day. Nope. We're still here, buddy. Gimli shot.
    107:29
    Ooh. About ate it, didn't I? Sam. Screw you. At least I got $200 million. That was a good ball. Still didn't get on the board, man. Chris has been killing this game. That's an L. He's got some good scores. God.
    107:50
    Because that was a monster. Oh. Yeah, but it's no GC. I'll take it. It's a good ending to the stream here. Before we go, I want to show you guys something.
