Bug streams new Grave Rob mode for TCM pinball with mechanics overview and voice acting Q&A.
Grave Rob mode mechanics: players select a grave (yellow shot), hit it twice before police arrive, and can stun police with a cop shot to buy time
high confidence · Bug demonstrating and explaining Grave Rob mode mechanics during gameplay
Spooky Pinball typically hires actual actors from source material for voice work rather than professional voice actors
high confidence · Bug directly answering viewer question about voice acting practices, citing Ed Neal (Hitchhiker from original film), Matt Scott Innes (Scooby-Doo narrator), PJ Soles (Halloween), Justin Roiland (Rick and Morty)
Grave Rob mode is still in testing phases and may receive tweaks; three graves currently planned but not finalized
high confidence · Bug stating mid-stream: 'we're still in the testing phases of it. There's still going Tee'd Off be some tweaks Tee'd Off the mode, I think. I think three graves sounds good, but I don't know.'
Advanced Grave Rob strategy exists involving hook multiball to finish the mode immediately, described as satisfying but suboptimal
high confidence · Bug demonstrating and explaining the multiball finish strategy near end of stream
Franklin mode can be accessed via Leatherface path; Witch's Chase unlocks Franklin mode which can then lead to other modes
medium confidence · Bug discussing mode flow: 'You have Tee'd Off play Leatherface and Witch Chase. That gets you Franklin.'
“So if I just hit the... Oh, shoot! Oh, dang it. I locked cocky.”
Bug@ 8:14 — Demonstrates real gameplay mistakes during rules explanation

Bug@ 49:10 — Direct statement of Spooky's voice casting philosophy
“That's what we're going Tee'd Off go for... This is not the best strategy Tee'd Off beat this mode. This is just something that's fun Tee'd Off do.”
Bug@ 53:44 — Distinguishes between optimal and satisfying-but-suboptimal gameplay
“I really wanted him in this game... We're going Tee'd Off make full-threaded even Steven Spielberg's actually going Tee'd Off direct it.”
Bug@ 51:21 — References Mosley (likely Bill Mosley, Leatherface actor) not being included; appears to be joking about Spielberg direction
