high · George: 'the majority of the questions from people was about the tripod, the camera, the Edelkrone... I thought it was going to be about the Games'

Thank you. Good evening, everyone. My name is George. This show is Don't Panic Flip, and I had to cut the conversation short. There were so many things to talk about. We have two special guests with us tonight.
6:01
We have I Only Seek Eurydice and Surreal Underscore 7. Dice, how you doing? Good evening, pilgrims, pilgrimettes, and all other new arrivals to the new world. My name is I Only Seek Your Odyssey, a.k.a. Dice, and tonight we will take you on the ever-puzzling voyage into the mysterious depths of what's known as George's brain.
6:25
And for real, I was about to ask how you're doing, but there's a graphic playing right now, so we've got to wait for that to go through.
6:37
I never answer your question, George. I am doing well. Okay, good. Good. So, Dice is doing well. Surreal underscore seven. How are you doing? I'm fine. You're fine. Okay. Great. I'm doing great.
6:52
Now, guys, when in doubt, everything's fine. Fine. It's fine. Oh, wow. So, right away, Molly Hatchet with a tier one sub for 20 months. Molly Hatchet, you're amazing. And similarly, Jaceabelle subscribed, I think, with Twitch Prime earlier as well. You're amazing. My hat's off to both of you.
7:22
Welcome to the panic room. Welcome to ad-free viewing and those... Oh, I can't remember the word. Show me the emotes.
7:33
That's awesome. Oh, I am... Lord Howard Hurts. No longer centered. Hey, game. Her camera, right here. You need to do some meditation if you're not Senator George. I know. I need to work on my meditation, which is funny because... This is a meditation stream, guys. Oh.
7:53
I am reading, or I should say listening to the audio version of Lamb by Christopher Moore right now. And I'm about three quarters of the way through the book. And it's hilarious. I don't mean or I think at this point want to bring up religion, but it is a very humorous take on Jesus and the missing years between birth and when the Gospels start, around 30 years old or so. So I'm enjoying it. It is Christopher Moore's standard style of over-the-top humor.
8:33
And the pinball mafia. That's surreal, too. Surreal? Sorry What are the chances? Lord Howard Hurts Mark, it was really good to see you And Alan, it was amazing to get completely intoxicated with you over this week Thank you so much for hanging out That's cool, George, you got Starbucks a few hours later I did, yeah, that was So hanging out with Alan, Extra Paul, Outerspacey, Tracy, and Titanics, a.k.a. Meat Jello, from roughly, I want to say it was about 10 o'clock p.m., maybe 11 o'clock p.m., until 5 a.m. in the morning. I think Alan, Extra Paul, and Tracy continued on until roughly 7.
9:22
Ty and I went to bed around 5. Those Texans, they're like us Wisconsinites. They drink on another level.
9:30
It says, can confirm. Can confirm. Molly Hatchet, no worries. You feel just... If you ever want to interrupt with a sub, you can interrupt whatever you want to. That's perfectly fine. Thank you. Also, it has to be an actual submarine sandwich. Yes, yes. At that point, it needs to be, I would say, at least a foot long.
9:54
Ooh, big spender. waiting for someone to take the easy joke there. Apparently, I'm looking at this right now, and I think I centered myself when I was, like, back here, which is perfect, except this is actually where I'm supposed to be. So give me a second.
10:15
Alan actually came home with an extra bottle of tequila. With an extra? Oh, that's what started it. Alan came around. You went to the expo, and you actually left with more alcohol. That's actually really funny because Alan came by with a backpack and he's like, you guys want shots? I'm like, yeah, we want shots. And he goes, he just like turns around really quick and he's like, it's in my backpack. Grab it. We need cups. We need shot glasses and we need cups. Stacked. I'm like, okay.
10:45
Ran out. I actually got five cups. We did shots. And I feel like that's the point at which the evening and my memory of the evening starts to become a little blurry.
10:56
George went out for cups, smash cut to 5 a.m., and he's hammered. Exactly. No joke, that's pretty much it. Nope. Okay, so we need to center.
11:10
Jezebel's blood type is bourbon. Yes. Well, I think that was our blood type, maybe. It just started with the tequila. Is that a thing where based on the first tequila you drink for the night, that's essentially how the night is going to go. Right? It's pretty chill if you start off with bourbon. It's a little kind of quirky if you start off with gin and tequila. You just don't remember, and you probably end up in jail.
11:39
That's not the case for me, but being a lover of Patron Silver on the Rocks with a little bit of lime juice, I have learned very quickly to respect the tequila, and it will respect you back. If you go down and shot to bed, especially without pickle juice, not going to waste my one non-sexual use of the F-bomb this early in the stream, but you'll probably end up praying to the porcelain god.
12:03
I'm sorry, we're moving way too fast. If you start the night with a shot, and your night is going to be ten hours long, then you've made up your mind before you've even begun. It sounds like Alan made up his mind before the evening begun for everybody. I'm adjusting the speed which we've found that is absolutely true Alan remembers Jordan saying Alan this isn't the Houston show a pinball show is a pinball show but Alan doesn't care what city we're in because he's partying I like to party P-E-R-T why? because I've got a master um so the next show i i've already man and it's off over here shoot i am so sorry it's just completely off apparently i think i moved the pinball machine or something but the the camera is just slightly off so i'm not centered anymore so i need to join an existing wireless network which is great i'm gonna pause and then i'm gonna come in here and not slide i'm going to adjust the speed. Anytime you come in, but I got to show this setup to so many different people. The tripod, the Edelkrone movable setup. Hey, Ogden, you're amazing. Thank you. I mean, you're paying your money. You must be a billionaire if you're wasting your money watching someone else play pinball.
13:42
And we're centered. There we go. So now I've reset that as three. I've got this nice little controller here, and what it allows me to do is set two points. The height, the pitch this way, I can rotate the camera this way, and then I can move the camera left and right, and then I can click, I set basically position one, two, or three, and I can press any two simultaneously, and it will interpolate between the two positions.
14:10
Somebody is centered. Thank you. Yeah. Janelle. I've been. It's pretty slick. Yeah. It's a really, really nice setup. And it's funny, because when we got set up at Expo, that was, honestly, the majority of the questions from people was about the tripod, the camera, the Edelkrone. like that's where the majority of the interest was, which I felt was really surprising. I thought it was going to be about the games we were streaming.
14:37
I did not have a V8. Did anybody have their V8 today? I had a Bloody Mary for breakfast. That's pretty close. Surreal probably remembers those commercials. Oh, of course. Okay, okay. Dice, I'm assuming you're too young to have actually seen those commercials, even though you are well-versed in 70s and 80s television. Was it I could have had a V8 or I should have had a V8? I think it's I should have had a V8.
15:08
Yeah, when they're all twisted. It could be both, honestly. I should have, would have, could have had a V8. All right, so Alan says, so what did everyone think of the Stern Insider Connected? I killed it on Godzilla. After Expo, I was number five on the leaderboard. Escher had me by about 2x my scores. Right, Escher is just in a different, he plays pinball differently than a lot of us. What was it, Zach and Escher got first and second place? And I ran into Escher getting coffee upstairs on the second level, and Escher was talking about what he was going to do, and this was the first day of the tournament, like as he was qualifying. I think he had just finished qualifying, actually, along with Zach. and they've qualified first and second. And he started with, he was talking about what he was going to do if he got first place.
16:04
And I'm just like, you know what? If it was two other people, I'd be like, you might be counting your chickens before they've hatched. But it's Escher and it's Zach McCarthy.
16:16
And I'm like, nope, there's, I don't know, what, 95, 98% chance you both are walking away with it. One of you two is walking away with this tournament. and I think Escher said, yeah, it's our tournament to lose. And I'm like, that's not even, that's not posing, that's not grandstanding, that's not anything, that's just accurate.
16:38
Both of those, and add in, of course, Raymond Davidson and several others who are always in the top five regardless of the number of people involved. And that's the way it is. It's just they play pinball at a very different level than a lot of us.
16:59
Yeah. I feel like that was supposed to tie back into. Oh, sorry. That ties back in then to Alan. Kisco, welcome to the stream. It was really good to meet you, Kisco, who stopped by dressed as the suave dude from Stranger Things who takes care of the kids. I can't remember his character's name. Steve? Steve, thank you. Yes. Steve Harrington. Yeah. So he was dressed as Steve Harrington and pulled it off wonderfully, mind you. Like, Kisco's hair actually looks like Steve's hair. It's the whole, like, he must have spent, you know, 20, 30 minutes blow-drying it. That's a good hair. Oh, yeah, yeah. Nailed it. Seriously. Uh, Jezebel, I was not choking. I was inhaling the marriage alarm. Ah, yes. Yes. Puff, puff, give.
17:56
Wow. You know the old saying, Jezebel? You gotta cough to get off. Is that an old saying? Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah, I remember when my grandmother used to say that to the family at the Thanksgiving dinner. She'd sit the kids down and she'd go, Now it's for real. Always remember.
18:16
My name's not Surreal, Grandma and she's like, shut up, Surreal Nana Surreal from the Surreal family which sounds like an excellent sitcom, like it would have been made to try to rival the Addams Family Maybe I should have made my Twitch name Surreal the 7th Surreal the 7th? I don't know why, but that reminds me of the 7th Sign, an 80s movie about the end of the world Kisco, he did not beat Mando before he left but he tried his damnedest yeah, it was definitely a night of forcing a square peg into a very round hole it was just not happening that night Alan says, also fun fact the code for Cactus Canyon is still not finished I only know because I played one game and caught to the wizard mode it said, kill as many bad guys in 60 seconds, deployed all the balls, and then went dead and awarded me $70 million or so. Finished with over $300 million. Okay, so Cactus Canyon, let's start there. We're switching back to chat. Guys, did you get an opportunity to see the picks associated with Cactus Canyon at Expo?
19:35
I did. I really didn't care all that much because there's an OGCC at District 82, so anytime I want to play one, I can just drive a half hour and their one is. Now, I heard that they modified some of the geometry to help with, it always seemed like a really flowy game to me, but I've only ever really spent time on it at Free Gold Watch with Manu.
19:59
Did any of you guys hear any of the details about that? I heard some rumbling about it in the Discord, but other than that, no. and I also really don't care much about that either because I'm probably never going to do another major tournament outside of whatever goes on at District 82, so at least that's the one I know how to play.
20:22
Okay. District 82, it seems like it has monster tournaments all the time. That's where Tom and a number of really big names seem to hang out. So when you say you're not doing anything beyond District 82, that still seems to be a... Well, the pros come to us, and anytime Elwynn shows up, he's a shoe-in to win. Right, right. It was cool to, uh, I finally get to meet Laser Loth there. Hey, cool. Loth is awesome. Uh, ran into him, I don't know, probably 10, 15 times this week, and it started at Antarium, which is the new name for level 257, uh, which for whatever reason, not the owner, but maybe the manager, I'm not sure what, but she walked up behind me, reached over, grabbed my menu, and started telling me what drinks I should order while I was sitting at the bar trying to find a drink to order. While I just hung out waiting to go to a party, I decided to back out of the tournament, the pre-expo tournament happening at Interium.
21:28
And I'm like, oh, wow, you seem like you know what you're doing. Do you work here? And she goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm running this place right now. And the running, I feel like, is where the question mark is as to whether or not she was the, I don't know about owner, but I don't know if she was the manager or, like, partial owner or whatever that was. But I ended up getting the whole history to level 257 in Antarium because I had just been to that establishment when it was level 257 and apparently owned by the Pac-Man company, whatever company owned Pac-Man. Konami? Konami, thank you. Yeah, so it was owned by Konami. And apparently they owned a number of different restaurants. There was a huge Pac-Man statue downstairs the last time I had been there, but that was pre-COVID. So during COVID, I think they closed up shop, declared bankruptcy, and closed up the majority of their businesses. And another group came through a little bit different, apparently. nowhere near as fun as she described, and they renamed it Interium, but nothing changed. If you do, it could have been Namco. I don't know. Namco? Yeah, I was going to say Namco, but I could be wrong, too. Sounds right. Konami Namco. It was one of those kind of names.
22:50
They did video games. So, yeah, whichever one specifically is responsible for Pac-Man. I think it was Nintendo.
23:01
Yeah. So anyway, got the story there. Ended up hanging out. Ran into Los, Nick, a.k.a. the Pinsomniac. A bunch of Fort Collins people were there. By the way, Fort Collins represented really, really well, specifically Colorado, I'd say, at Expo. Escher is now a Fort Collinsite as opposed to Lyons. And we'll take them. So now, yeah, just hard represent for Collins. And Zach did all show up wearing their Don't Panic Flip merch.
23:39
Zach did. I don't think Escher has any DPF merch yet. I'm going to have to get a new t-shirt. I think not heard me talk about that Fantastic Tribalent.
23:52
You should. I was thinking of that Fantastic Tribalent. Did you guys know we have merch? Nicely done. I could hear you typing that, and then it showed up. There was no weird delay.
24:04
Oh, you were able to pick up my sweet flex switch mechanical keyboard? Oh, yeah. Yeah, that was the perfect time on my switch. That's the sound of progress.
24:15
Fort Collins in the house. I made the comment in their chat that their high altitude creates children that are pinball wizards. I ski do. Fort Collins, not Fort Collins. I keep saying Fort Collins. I mean, Colorado did really, really well in the tournament. There was quite a few people from Colorado in the top 20 to top 30.
24:38
Try blend ball. No, try blender death. I feel like I need a shirt that says try blender death. What's blender death, George? Is that some kind of new smoothie? Totally. If you need to bulk up on protein, try blender death.
24:55
Blender try, T-R-Y. I got it. I got it, yeah. I like that. All right. So I'm going to try main four. Oh, main four is what we're going with today. Oh, hey, check out that chat. It got moved.
25:14
Quite lovely. Let's put that here, shall we? Boom. All right. I have already started the game, but I have yet to actually play any of a game so far, so I'm going to get going.
25:33
Dice, do you by any chance, where it's 1130 right now, have a question for us today? Oh, you bet your sweet bippy I do, George.
25:43
I've got all the questions lined up for the rest of our holiday season to get. That is a lot of questions. How you doing?
25:56
Get up. Wait for his intro to roll through. Easy. Okay. So, the first holiday question of this season is, Would you rather eat an entire Thanksgiving dinner with only your hands, or have to open your Christmas presents with just a Q-tip?
26:22
Wait. Say that one more time. Would you rather eat an entire Thanksgiving dinner with only your hands or open your Christmas presents with nothing but a Q-tip?
26:35
But there's no benefit, it seems like, to opening it with a Q-tip. That's what you got to do. If there's wrapping paper on it, that's how you got to get it open.
26:46
I feel like I usually eat my Thanksgiving dinner with my hands anyway, so I guess that was that. That's my favorite answer.
26:54
Yeah, it looks like Anz is winning. Alan said food. Higher Peanut said food. Jedi McWuffin says Thanksgiving holds no sway to me.
27:07
Thanksgiving with hands. Higher Peanut says the Q-Tip's not going to get anything open with my family.
27:13
Iron Fox, welcome by the way, Iron Fox, says, That actually sounds great, eating everything with your hands. I mean, if we're talking about just eating chicken wings, an entire Thanksgiving dinner, the cranberry sauce, the stuffing, the mashed potatoes, the gravy, your green bean casserole, and your apple pie. Right. I got you.
27:36
I mean, eating pie with your hands isn't that weird. It's the rest, but... You may think you have some idea of what you're in possession of, but you do not. Well, remember that big chunks of turkey work as excellent spoons. Very true.
27:56
And you can sop up a lot of gravy with a roll. That is true. You're able to hold the roll because you've got your hands.
28:06
I usually go for the cut the roll in half and make a sandwich approach. That would work good. Okay. And Serif says, George, it was great meeting you and hanging out.
28:21
Serif, welcome! A.K.A. Brian. Serif is another streamer on the TPN network. And, yeah, hung out with Serif a bunch this weekend. And I got to hang out with Hottie, which is Frisco Pinball. Pinball Princess Jillian, who is Infinite Thriver. Of course, the actual, the standard TPN crew as well. which Hottie and Seraph are a part of.
28:51
Man, it was by far the best expo I've been to, and I've had some pretty decent expos. Not, like, the specific expo, but, man, this one was so full of people and hanging out. It was great. Uh, Jezebel, you can do anything you want as long as you're not using any pencils or tooling. You got your hands, that's it.
29:22
So if you want to scoop your bread into the mashed potato, you go right ahead. Hi, Ski-Doo, I never claimed to not be barbaric.
29:35
That's just a bit... Um, you can scoop your bread into mashed potatoes. I skeet you with literally eating chicken wings. God, I could eat the heck out of some chicken wings.
29:49
Isabelle says they don't want to brag, but they have had some great expos. Oh? What did that mean? What great expos have you been a part of?
30:06
Uh, I see you. Hey, George, when are you going to put in that pricey Grogu? Ooh, that is an excellent question. Um, I don't know.
30:21
It seems like I should do it soon, right? Oh, Jezebel was quoting you. Oh. Um, Jedi can't take their focus off of Gus staring into his soul over that plastic ball, guys. That was Alan's first expo. Definitely meeting all the TPN folk was the highlight of the weekend. Damn good crew. Blue heart emote. It seriously was so much fun.
30:50
The parties were great. Oh no, that didn't work out anywhere near as well as I hoped it would. So, I don't know if you guys saw, but the pinballers, Mike from the pinballers, got to this is the way today, scored like 1.2 billion, and then put up another billion by making it all the way around and continuing to get to different Razorcrests again, and scoring roughly, I think, like 150 to 300 million on these hurry-ups right there. uh jay's about with there is a dune pin out there it has to be a very uh secret homebrew right oh man i think i've added that into my my theme rotation now what's that dune into your theme rotation what does that mean yeah Well, remember, I can't decide on what I want to make my homebrew. Ah.
31:58
So it's in the bucket now. Okay. And would it be the movie or the book? I think it would be the movie because I've read like three books in my life. Which version? And that's not one of them.
32:14
This latest one, I think, just for the art package. I don't know. the one from the 70s was so nostalgic that I think we should do that one first.
32:26
I don't know. The one from the 70s is bad. It's got sting in it. You should be proud. Yep. That's a stamp of quality right there. He was in Bee Movie. And Meatloaf as the Baron. That's right. Kisco, yes. I am going back. I'm not re-watching it. I'm watching it for the first time through. I've made it two episodes in, and I watched two episodes, and I don't know if I was distracted or if I just needed to go back, but I watched, I gave it a second go, and I re-watched the first and second episodes and just found so much more that was subtly there I never caught the first time. And I say subtly, like, it apparently didn't slap me in the face, so I am going back through and giving it a good standard re-watch.
33:17
That was also because I would not shut up about it. Yes. Dice continued to talk about how amazing that show was. Yeah, Ketco Gravity Falls is my favorite animated series of all time.
33:40
Ice Kido says there's a crawl pinball that's close enough. It kind of is. I assume Jedi's talking about me when he says, I think you have mistalted glasses on, because that movie was so horrible, the director refuses to do a recut. But he may have been talking the surreal about the new one.
34:02
I like the new one. I do really like the new one. It was very well done. I have the same criticism of the new one that I had of the old one, which is, if you're just walking into it, they explain nothing. Like, you kind of have to know what the universe is all about, or you're not really going to get it out of the movie. Having said that, I think the new one is just absolutely gorgeously shot. It really is. Oh, lovely. So I really enjoyed all of that regardless of whether or not I knew the story But I did kind of know the story because I learned it over the last 40 years you know I think Joe Hills is coming in to ruin a 65 BAU TV What?
34:49
Joe Hills dropping a huge raid on us? What? And Joe Hills had on a flip-tronic. I mean, you're paying your money. You must be a billionaire if you're wasting your money watching... Howdy, Joe.
35:18
Also, Fliptronic, they are in your home. I was on the stream for quite a while. Great stream. It was awesome to see you playing pinball. And I think the goal of that was to make sure to get Joe Hills a pinball machine. Is that more likely to happen after this stream?
35:46
Good evening, Raiders, Raidettes, and all of the configurations of Conquerors. Welcome. That's just so happy. His house has cheese and alcohol.
36:03
Uh, Destiny Kiddens. Hi. Gilbert Gottfried? I have not seen him since the 90s, right? It was Aladdin, maybe?
36:18
Hermit Crab Joe. Kissco, yes, it's Joe Hills. Uh, yeah, we need to get, we absolutely need to get Joe a pinball machine. I don't know if there's a goal. Joe, when you stream next, will you have a let's get Joe a pinball machine goal? Is that something we can work for?
36:38
Gorin, welcome to the stream. You know, I did not get to see Gorin at Expo. I need a condo down payment too.
36:55
Joe, a donation has been made in your name to the People's Fund. We do what we can. You weren't at Expo. I was not at Expo.
37:15
Yeah, there was... No matter what, you never get everybody at one place all the time. 150 best car, I'll take that.
37:34
Yeah, as a consolation for not making it to Expo, I decided I'm going to Vegas in April. Draw a bunch of nutsacks for watching someone play pinball on the computer. Are you kidding me? Come on, learn a skill. Get a trade. I know there's a pandemic going on, but pinball? Gee, if you could be playing pinball, you're sitting there watching someone else pinball? You're like the sad guy at the bar who didn't bring any friggin' quarters. Hope you have a great... Well done!
37:59
Janelle gifting a tier one sub to Goran. Goran, enjoy that gifted sub. Add free viewing and being a part of the panic room and the emote.
38:19
That welcome was okay, George, but I think it needed a little something. It did. It for sure did. I apologize to everyone in chat in advance, because I've clearly had the most sleep slash I'm the least tired of the three of us. Yeah, it was a weekend. It was a lot of fun stuff happening. Hunter! This isn't going to be...
38:53
Gorin says on that note, since he's now succeeded at Monster Bash for the evening, it is time for bed. Good night, Gorin. Thanks for stopping in, bud. Gorin, have a good one. Thank you so much for hanging out. Serif's flight didn't get in until 3 a.m.
39:06
Very nice. Oh my gosh. Pinball Princess Jillian, how you doing? Pinball Princess Jillian I got to hang out with Jillian a ton this week welcome to the stream what a good time Jaysabelle have a good night thanks for stopping in and thanks for that good bye Jaysabelle you rebranded again oh man I was giving Jillian such a hard time because I thought Pinball Princess Jillian was such a great name So I think the question that's weighing on everyone's mind the most about Expo George is How many pudding cups did you end up coming home with? I came home with none That's that I think only two or three were taken They were there on display And a few people recognized them I think when we streamed There was a moment or a section where you had to stream while holding one of the TPN pudding cups but I ended up putting them in a box that Nicole and Zach Menny ended up bringing home and he posted earlier how did I end up with all the pudding and I thought that was great Jillian didn't even take one warm pinball pudding it's snack pack it's meant to be warm I have no opinion on that but that's not a hill I'm willing to die on are you trying to say snack packs should be kept in the fridge the proof is in the pudding exactly Jedi the proof is in the pudding well not warm but like at least room temp it wasn't hot it was just in a box well I was just reading what Jillian said warm pinball pudding Oh, gotcha. Manu, so, uh, I got to hang out with Manu a ton this weekend. Manu is an amazing character. I had a really good time. Uh, apparently I snore, though, so that's a thing.
41:20
Uh, thanks for the fun time, TEDxPo. Manu's exhausted, but he's gonna crash. Goodnight, stream. Have a good one, Manu. Have a good one. So you're snoring with the Jedi.
41:30
Go that way. Ice-Kidoo knows me. You clearly should have went with TP and marijuana edibles if you wanted to be popular with the pinball scene and me.
41:42
Yep. No arguments there. Jedi says, what's more gross, pinball pudding or having to flip through a pair of flashlights?
41:54
Oh, that's right, the pinball Olympics. The two. So in Pinball Olympics, Dice, you know, I think, I don't even know if you can actually post those pictures. That might be not safe for work. We're not going to risk it, but if anyone would like to see those pictures, George will create a specialized locked NSFW segment that you'll need to pre-approve your age to get into. Which should be fine I really don't think we have any children in here Just those of us that act like children Right, there you go There you go Oh goodness, I really should have that cop looked at You should have that cop looked at Oh, here it comes again Oh goodness And I killed him.
42:57
Add some flark to that, and we have a party? Oh, man. Oh, combine the two for the sound effects and ooze.
43:11
See, that would be especially disgusting, because George had some kind of chocolate pudding. Jedi thinks that upper playfield should be about 30% bigger there, George.
43:28
What exactly? What? Jedi's just saying they think the upper playfield should be 30% bigger. Is it... Wind Raider, how you doing? Hi, Wind Raider. Hey, it was really good to meet you, Wind Raider.
43:46
I can put a face to the name. Although you have streamed it before, so I already had a face for the name. But a physical body to put to the face and associate with the name? I don't know.
44:02
Jed is saying it's just so small it's almost pointless. Oh, okay. It says 31% bigger, or why bother?
44:10
It sounds like all y'all are asking for is a full-size version of the mini playstation. Yeah. well that certainly would have kept the cost down yeah I don't know what Dwight would do to like make this better specifically but not this the I don't know what Dwight could do to make the mini playfield better Alan I don't know if Kaneda was at Expo I haven't personally met him either but last I heard he was not just trolling, but I think it was either you, George, or someone in here that told me about some of the more nefarious things he was getting up to.
45:00
I don't have a lot of details on what actually happened, but I keep hearing from people that he got doxxed and he quit for a while, but then he came back and started doxxing people. Yep.
45:15
That, I, that he definitely did. That was, uh, Jedi said he was there. He was walking around with a selfie stick, because of course. Huh, I did not see him.
45:29
Well, if I was him, I probably wouldn't be announcing my presence all that much. Impressive stage flipping.
45:41
Thank you. You may think you have some idea of what you're in possession of. Super Jack-o'-Lantern. Jedi said Kaneda was selling limited edition t-shirts that he only saw one person wearing. What's that one person, Kaneda?
46:08
He was selling t-shirts? Limited edition t-shirts that Jedi only saw one person wearing. that's kind of funny.
46:17
Oh, yeah, Alan, I didn't, uh... I knew it when I saw the pictures, but I kind of forgot you guys were all wearing masks, so that might make it a little more difficult to just pick someone out of a crowd. You missed everything!
46:31
Aogton says, the first time they saw someone stage-flipping, it blew their mind. Oh, Jedi, so this out here's swinging the night, never came over to TPN, you know, where we actually play pinball. Ha ha ha. Nicely done.
46:50
I don't really want to... Sorry, Alan, I never finished the rest of your message. But Alan used to like listening to him pre-COVID when he used to listen to podcasts. Yeah, Alan, there was a while where I didn't take it too seriously and I thought he was pretty entertaining, but after a while it did seem to be pretty pedantic and pointless. What? I got frenzy multiball? I don't think I've ever had that. I see you says finally Did he just say the words Dank Ferrick all the time?
47:33
Yep Is tonight the night of night, George? No Oh, IceKidoo asked if that was from doing the double. What's the double? Kisco remembers their Iron Maidenship with stages reversed top before bottom, but it was an easy fix. Yep, I remember that. I remember talking with Kisco about that. It was apparently a really common issue on the Premium and LEs. I would have called up Stern and DeVandis to speak to the person that, you know, stamps their name on it and says they quality checked it.
48:17
You mean the hourly worker that's just sitting there soldering the same wire under the same connector for eight hours a day? Yeah, exactly. They're out there living the dream. That's the American dream in action. They get to make us expensive toys. What's cooler than that? Hmm. Yes, Jedi, I did just ask for the manager.
48:41
I want to talk to Mr. Stern Hemstrall. Dice's real name is Karen. I did retail for five and a half years, okay? I'm allowed to ask for the manager. I think I need to screw the ramp down a little bit. The ball tends to move the ramp quite a bit as it's coming down now.
49:11
All right, so Razor Crest 2 is done. That's a mojo. This is Officer Liff. Alan was bummed at Expo if there weren't any newer spooky games to play on the floor. He still hasn't put his hands on a Rick and Morty, a Halloween, or an Ultraman. There was no spooky.
49:44
Yeah, they didn't go, right? Nope. Keep it steady, here we go. Jedi says in a Yoda voice, Control, control, you must earn control. Gabby, how are you doing? Flip stream, how are you doing? Alan says there was one TNA. True, but that was in the homebrew section. It wouldn't surprise me if that was Scott's or, I don't know. I don't feel like that was a representation of Spooky.
50:13
Kirk would like to know if you're trading in your Mando for a Wonka or Godzilla. I already have a Godzilla coming, so... That sucks.
50:28
Oh my god, I'm in, I like those odds. Did I get a ball save? Flipstream, greetings, fellow TP-Enter, and thank you for streaming. This is the way.
50:43
Wait, Fliptronic. there was a Halloween in the Game Exchange's hotel room, and Electronic got to play it. Yes.
50:51
But that was Game Exchange. Once again, their Spooky didn't even show up to Expo. Jedi says it's still going. Don't waste it.
51:12
Okay, getting that one back. Correct, no Spooky. Oh, Spooky showed up to Expo, all right. The Spookiest thing were their prizes.
51:24
Speaking about that, I got notification that my Ultraman shipped out today. It was supposed to ship out on Thursday last week and be here tomorrow.
51:36
Flipstream hears that the Zilla Premiums are shipping out soon. And I see this as, well, Spooky didn't have anything new to release or announce, and they're probably pretty busy making the two games that they have in the queue. Yeah, fair point, IceKid, dude.
51:48
It isn't always, I feel like, about announcing new things. It's just, you know, having a presence and being there and present,
51:57
which I feel like, as I say that, is super redundant, but... Oh, I'm willing to bet they'll be at Midwest Gaming Classic this weekend. You think?
52:09
Well, they're a Wisconsin-based company. It'd be kind of stupid for them not to be. Well, Wisconsin is really close to Illinois. It would have been stupid of them to not show up there, I feel like, too.
52:19
Yeah, but this one's closer. He says maybe they had the COVID. George, is your GZ a pro or a premium? You went premium, right? Nope, I got LE.
52:34
And a pro. Oh, you did get pro. Yep. I mean... Look at you, look at you, just stealing my GNR move. Not... That sucks. Not on purpose, though.
52:53
Flipstream says it's very redundant, repetitive, and really duplicates the overall message delivery.
53:02
Come back. Speaking of damn homebrew section, Alan didn't get to play Ryan's Sonic because TPN kept sidetracking him with all the pizzazz and cool people maybe at Texas Pinball Festival Alan it was awesome if you absolutely need to get a chance to jump on there so that's Ryan aka McSquid and wow that game it's a full game like the graphics, the theme integration the layout itself is wonderful.
53:38
It's legit. It's a full game. If somebody could get the Sonic license, it's so thoroughly integrated with Sonic, I think that might also be its biggest hindrance to becoming a production game.
53:56
And apparently Wind Raider is a stickler for distances, because they're saying it's actually closer to Sean Park by about 15 minutes than it is to Milwaukee. Wow.
54:07
Okay, maybe Spooky has just had enough of Philps. Yeah, I gotta say, it felt a little weird that Spooky wasn't there. Like, maybe they were trying to avoid something.
54:19
I don't know. Facts. It's Alan's birthday today, and he's still drinking it. Happy birthday, Alan. And thanks for hanging out with us on your birthday. Flipstream says Stern just said no. Yeah. Spooky you can't be here.
54:41
Everyone else, welcome aboard. Even Deeproot had a boot. Seven days of it. Alright, do we have enough? We do. Let's grab that extra ball.
55:00
Not good. We're good. We're all good here. We're fine. That's fine. We're all fine. Everything's fine. How are you?
55:17
Living the dream, George. I'm puffing on that wedding cake indica. Wedding cake indica. That sounds amazing. Mima Sweets said, Happy birthday, Alan.
55:29
Well, last weekend was 100% all Godzilla. Hands down, game of the year. Alan, I'm... I think I'm right there with you. You know, what's funny is I love playing Godzilla. I have no idea how I'm supposed to play Godzilla. I still enjoy playing it. The layout is that much fun, and the call-outs and every part of it is just wonderful.
55:54
Ice Key Dude does talk about the factory tour. Did you watch the virtual one, and was that even remotely satisfying? Nope. It was so unsatisfying to have a company charge. I got the three-day pass that included the physical tour and all the seminars for the physical tour. I had no intention of going to any of the seminars. And then it got turned into virtual.
56:18
Yeah, and I've already seen a virtual one like a year or two back. You can go to the Dead Flip YouTube page. You get an entire walkthrough showing what everything is and how they're made. It's true. Honestly, now I kind of feel like I don't need to make the trip.
56:35
Jillian did not wake up to go, because she can sit on Zoom at home. The flow on Zilla is orgasmic. Yeah, okay. I would never use... Well, I don't know. I feel so taken advantage by that joke of a pass. Yep.
56:55
Okay, Alan, here's a fun question. If Godzilla and GNR came out in the same year, who wins? Well, I'd have to give it to GNR just because I had no interest in Godzilla.
57:06
It's not GNR. Then I loved the ball going around the Mechagodzilla and hopping the flipper, dead bouncing, and then flipping around to start the upper loop.
57:18
And me would like to know what some of the seminars were about. I literally never went to any seminars. Except seminars. Cinemark?
57:28
Yeah, I got... Cinemark on the East Coast? So I've got Super Jackpot left. That's now gone. We're ready to do Precious Cargo.
57:43
Yes, Iron Fox. He was trying to say Cinnabon. Cinnabon, yes. GNR puts me to sleep, and there's so many lights I can never tell what to shoot. You know, I actually really like the layout of GNR.
57:58
I like everything about GNR. You're a Guns N' Roses fan. Makes sense. Yep, it was quite literally... Yeah, as soon as the announcement was made, I had the cash in my hand. I was like, shut up and take my money. Yep.
58:23
I get it. All right, precious cargo, how many more we got? Why has George got an LE and a pro for GZ? Inquiry minds want to know, says Kirk Hobbs. Is the pro for streaming in the LE just for looking at? No, it was... I bought the pro, I think, like three weeks before it got officially announced. I should say I got on a list to get the pro and after seeing it decided I needed the LE so I ended up paying for it and now I need to get rid of my pro Kisco just likes how in some modes in the China Min Wizard mode example when you make a shot the next shot isn't visible until it's too late yeah that's That's a problem on more than one game, in my opinion.
59:21
That should be Alan. The experience of DNR is unparalleled. Alright, so I just need to focus on hitting all of...
59:35
Really? There we go. Okay, complete lit shots before timer expires That was great Still alive over there, Surreal? Yeah, I'm still here I just thought I was talking too much But I'm bummed I am finding myself waning quickly What are you doing?
60:10
SQG says the left drain wasn't lit, George Excellent point. I should have probably hit one of the other shots. I can't backhand this, so that kind of sucks. I'm going to go middle.
60:35
Alright, let's try this left ramp. Got it. Oh, Kirk Hobbs is on the list for GNR LE Tour Ragnarok Australia in a few weeks. Kirk Hobbs, you're really going to have fun. Yeah.
60:50
It's a unique experience. It's a rock and roll experience. Okay, so I got the top. Chisco would like to know if you figured out how the left in-lane seer thing works.
61:08
What's the steer? The left in lane see-er thing. Let me read that. Left in lane steer. Oh, scope. Got it. Yes, I do know how scope works. I can walk you through that. It's kind of lit now. It was lit a second ago.
61:33
But yeah, we'll end up hitting scope again at some point tonight. Ooh, it will compliment Kirk Hobbs' Wonka, Hobbit, and Medieval Madness remake. Nothing like them.
61:49
Well, ladies and gentlemen, I think I'm going to go ahead and excuse myself for the night and retire.
61:57
Have a great night, man. Thank you for having me on. I was glad that I could come by at least for a little while. It's been too long.
62:08
I've been holding down the fort over here. Yeah, you guys have been doing fine. As it turns out, the screen can't exist without me. It's great.
62:19
But does it want to? That's an entirely different question. No, we love having Surreal here. Oh, and I love being here, so...
62:34
People put dryness that we need. Yeah, mental fatigue, physical fatigue, and sure, emotional fatigue. Let's make it the trifecta.
62:48
Makes it a little bit more difficult to be animated. But soon we're reaching the end of renovations, and work isn't going to be as crazy as it is for too much longer. So I'll be back to my bubbly self in no time. good we anticipated alright guys have a good night chat have a good week everybody Kisco would like to know where Raza was at Expo not there
63:30
let's try that again it was being taken care of by top men There it is. Alright, so we've got to complete two levels of encounters. This is, I've been flacking on encounters here. Deeper got in trouble with a small organization called the FDC. Right?
64:02
Oh, did somebody ask? Well, I think Kisco asking where Raza was might have been a legit question. Oh, got it. GNR was good to play. Oh, Picket Nose. Hello. And in my opinion, that's how you do a band-based game. I wonder if it felt so good because other band games are so meh. Hmm. I like ACDC. I think I'm going to like Rush when it comes out. It has been all but confirmed, I think, at this point. 21-12 wizard mode yeah that's gonna be that is I feel like the perfect kind of music for pinball Windrager it'd be interesting to see what the Olympics would have done with Raza as an event I don't know taking sledgehammers too don't forget about your rising phoenix yeah I'm not gonna waste it now but thank you I completely spaced it Oh, did they? I missed that.
65:13
Yeah, but it's not going to stop me from buying one. Yeah, if one shows up, I'm going to have to do it.
65:27
I thought it was interesting they called that panel Drinks with Jack, since I'm like, isn't that what his regular stream is?
65:34
No, I don't want that. Alright, so I defeated level... Nope. What pin wouldn't you end up buying? Iron Pina, there's a lot that I don't buy.
65:53
Yeah, there you go. That's a really good question, though. Dice, what... name a pin right now, you're like, nope, I refuse.
66:06
What pin would I not buy right now? Oh, easy. It's always at the top of my don't buy list in Guardians.
66:16
Okay. I get that. I totally get that. Although at some point during one of the District 82 tournaments, Blazer and I are going to go get dinner and he's going to explain to me why it's a good game. Wait, wait, wait. Under what circumstances is it a good game?
66:33
Oh, Laser thinks it's an amazing game, and he thinks he can convince me. So I said I'll buy us some dinner next time there's a tournament, and we'll hash it out. All right, so two different things. One, Smoke and Reefer says Shaq as a game that he would never buy. I can get on board with that. And Alan wants a serious moment that I took away from Expo that I feel needs to be addressed. Alan, do it up.
67:00
Alan, you have the con. May take a while to type. Okay, we'll carry on. Opinions on if the J.J.P. reveal was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and not the current?
67:21
J.J.P. reveal? Did J.J.P. reveal something at Xbox? No. Sorry. Kisco, you're asking if, because it's Willy Wonka, not Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, you're saying if they had revealed the new one with, um... Oh, no, years ago. Yeah.
67:41
Yeah, yeah, okay. Bonus level! Um, I actually prefer old school, personally. IceKidoo would never buy Obira House of Horrors 40th edition because the pricing is absurd and is annoying yeah IceKidoo yeah nobody should be buying that game again at those prices that price is ridiculous but I'm gonna let you know it looked amazing they had one there it's not that level of money level pretty like I could have done that it's not $30,000 cool Take his mistake, Windrager made it expo. Sitting through the JJP panel discussion. Oh, wow.
68:36
Yeah, I'm not sure if they were broadcast anywhere or not, but I really didn't care much about the seminars either.
68:42
All right, I'm on my third level here. I figured if anything really good and amazing happened, it would pop up in the Discord pretty quickly. that last shot, the one, I can't backhand that. I guess I could try a backflip.
68:56
That exactly flips the stream. I could just powdercoat my own rails. It would be significantly cheaper.
69:02
Got it. I'm sitting on tenderhooks over here and I'm waiting to see what Alan says. Alan going to get serious Alright up and around Up ten Back around
69:28
You could pay the very best powder coater for the very best purple sparkle armor and save tens of thousands of dollars. Very correct, Ski-Doo.
69:37
That sucked. Alright, here we are in ball three. I've got to start encounters. We've got two complete. I can feel it, guys. This is the ball where he beats it. I don't think so.
69:52
Well, with that attitude, yeah. Manifest destiny, George. You have to believe you're going to beat it.
70:03
Manifest destiny, really? Yes, really. That's the best you're going to get from me right now. Oh, no.
70:18
All right. You could buy a machine, get a bad powder coat, buy a whole new machine to replace it in the powder coat, the new one again for cheaper.
70:27
Fat Cobra says use the force. Oh, my God, and I drain it. Hey, Fat Cobra, how you doing? Fat Cobra, I blame you.
70:40
Oh, that was bad. Is that the same thing as working in a new place? Anytime something goes wrong, you blame the new guy? Yeah.
70:47
Jedi McFuffin says, dude. Oh, man. Who was the last person to do something? Oh, it was Gorin. Oh, wait. It was Jay Zabell. So that's Janelle.
71:00
You're very right, Fat Cobra. We're just living in another day in paradise. Gifted a tier one sub to Gorin. Georgia's back in Colorado. Expo went well. As far as we know yet, nobody's gotten sick. Nobody's sick. I did lose my voice, but not sick.
71:24
You can buy three LE pinball machines and have one in your house, another for your camp, and a third for your work break room and Crisco pinball rating for you to be a new people piano. Crisco, welcome to the stream. Thank you so much for that raid. Also, I got to hang out with Frisco this entire week. It was awesome. Hottie is wonderful.
71:50
Had a really good time, man. How was your stream tonight? What did you stream? Flipstream's regretting not going this year.
71:58
Flipstream, it's... This seemed like the good get-together. But you know what? TPF. Oh, yeah, the new Lebowski mod. That's what they were streaming. And the new Goonies table.
72:22
Sorry, Goonies table? What? I want to check it out. Man, Frisco, that's got to be amazing. Isn't your virtual pin themed to Goonies?
72:34
Wow. Frisco had a blast, and every T-Pinner was awesome to meet. T-Pinner. That's just how I'm shortening that.
72:44
It could have been a pentamint time. Nice, nice. It was Goonieception. I just want a new machine that isn't a franchise. Smoke and Reaper. It is hard to do that. Legends of Valhalla. Yeah, there you go. Legends of Valhalla. That works.
73:02
Ice Key Do. If only I even remotely liked Strikes and Spares, then the re-theme might be better. Wax! Oh, Wax. I feel like I haven't seen you in forever. Wax. Hi, welcome.
73:14
Guys, I need to take a really short break. I just realized that I have been drinking alcohol and I adjusted my altitude significantly. I feel like I can feel a headache coming on right now. I'm going to go take a couple of Excedrin before things get bad. We'll be back in... Yeah, you can't touch well without the sickness. Yeah, exactly. We'll be back in like two minutes.
73:36
Maybe. Which commercial? We're doing this one. 0.002% of people struggle to find companionship because of their choice in unpopular hobbies.
73:48
These same people may find it difficult to be happy or enjoy themselves when alone. Because being good at something requires effort.
74:00
Or they may rely on social lubricants in public situations to feel a level of normalcy. or may give up entirely. But now, there is TPN, a non-FDA-approved network of affiliated streamers who work together to bring a niche hobby better than mediocre content.
74:24
Gone are the days of celebrating one's ephemeral and worthless accomplishments alone. Together, we can celebrate them. Together. Online. In a public forum. on the internet. Don't call your doctor if you think TPN is right for you. Call Zach's personal cell phone instead, late at night and on weekends. You should not take TPN if you don't like pinball or watching others play pinball. You should not discuss with your doctor the possible side effects from TPN, including flip chronic anxiety, insomnia, disruptive polyp flipping, Fox scabies, Ray depression, pinball malaria, mystery polio thrombosis, what the fungal meningitis, babies, Tourette's graphics, fainting outs, amnesis and Dr. Jaundice, we heart palpitations, rectal pain ball, one eye paralysis, STD, M, Jedi McMumps, and just another prostate syndrome.
75:32
Because together, we can push through the existential dread of the meaninglessness of our favorite hobby together.
75:47
Or you spilled it. No, no, no, I spilled it. Hey, welcome back. Turns out the Excedrin wasn't in the house. It was still in the car from the drive.
76:00
And I went to go pour some in by hand quickly. I ran outside, ran back in, shut the door, but I had the Excedrin open, so I've got like four pills I'm going to have to clean up later by the front door. I took two, but one fell out over here. Apparently I had three in my hand. Whatever.
76:19
I skew you. That is not a Google Voice number. If you call that number, you won't reach Zach's cell phone.
76:29
Wow. New print. Little. Yellow. Different. Yeah. you know it's like people only do things because they get paid and that's just really sad Excedrin on an unrelated topic I love the refreshing taste of Dr. Pepper as much as the next person well played tell him how what you think about TPN thank you Flipstream for pointing out my spelling mistake I don't remember exactly what it was I was going to put tell him how this commercial made you feel? I don't remember exactly what I was going with, but yeah, I did not update that scene, and I had already posted the video, which is kind of a pain in the butt.
77:15
Kirk hops to that. I'm just, all I have to say is no. Yeah, that's kind of what I'm doing right now is taking Excedrin, but I was washing it down with alcohol. Water probably should be used. Flipstream feels confused. but that's not unusual alright let's see if we can get there again so we had two mini wizard modes completed we had the third one lit couldn't start it really need to focus on encounters sorry to cut you off George but Alan's in here with the seriousness and this is the seriousness bottom line Alan had multiple female pinball players tell him about separate male interactions that were inappropriate and not welcomed or invited. That apparently happened way too often behind the scenes with competitive players, casual, and even folks working security. And pinball should be a safe space for everyone, and it's really hurt his soul to hear stories from different people about their experiences within the hobby. And we as good personalities should take a stand and make aware and acknowledge or make an effort to stop this kind of behavior at chosen tournaments so that everyone has a good time and doesn't have to worry about their safety. Yeah. no disagreement whatsoever that kind of pisses me off too like in pinball it's regardless of the sport regardless of any of it well regardless of the yeah but it just I was so unaware Yep.
78:56
It blew Alan's mind, too. Oh, good thing the stream wasn't there, because it probably would have made a scene.
79:08
Oof. You were not kidding, Alan. You came in with the seriousness. Separate women on separate occasions. Yeah, exactly, Fat Kroger. What a bunch of lames. Yep. It takes a few bad eggs out here to just ruin it for everybody.
79:36
Keep driving. I'll take care of it. Well, when you said you were going to get serious, Alan, you weren't pitching a softball. No. Good thing you get serious about them I'm still trying to grapple with this in my mind Queen Dirk lady says Problem, can't see the playfield Oh I dreamed I was doing amazing Until I tried to hit the button I can confirm I can see it.
80:15
Yeah, we're going to restart. That was... I was actually playing really well right up until... I'm like, oh, I need to switch the button. I just did it without even... Sure you were.
80:26
Best game of my life. It was perfect. Wasn't missing a shot. Ice-Kidoo, we know that when people have a few drinks, they may not act the same or remember to be appropriate, so that could be a contributing factor, or they were just blatant misogynists. Dicks. Yeah, Ice-Kidoo, I will never let someone use drunkenness as an excuse. Nope, not an excuse.
80:47
I mean, yeah, it probably was a contributing factor, but it doesn't sweep it under the rug. Yep. Nor was I saying you were trying to say that. I'm just trying to make my opinion known.
81:02
It's F-Tough as a parent of a young daughter, and it's sad, because Fat Cobra got his daughter into gaming, and she loves pinball, and he'd want to know that she can play and not have to worry about the creeps. Yeah, Fat Cobra, I've got an eight-year-old.
81:14
Exactly, Smoking Reaper. If you get like that while you're drinking, then you should not drink. Yep.
81:20
In fact, you probably just shouldn't be there. Because having been to several large-scale pinball productions, alcohol flows pretty heavily.
81:34
Everywhere. Yeah, exactly. That does not make it okay. So, George, how about that local sports team? Aren't they doing well?
81:56
I, uh... I couldn't tell you. Ice-K doesn't drink because his mom used to come home like that and it used to piss him off. But he does know that alcohol makes people behave differently. And, yeah, exactly, Ice-K, do. I knew at the heart you were saying that that does not make it okay.
82:15
Ooh, Queen Dark Lady, by the way, welcoming. If you get like that while you're drinking, you're like that anyway. You're just hiding it.
82:22
I agree with that. Yeah. Smoking Reaper. Used to drink a ton playing pinball. Doesn't drink anymore, but still goes out and plays the tournaments. Alan will not be dropping any names to protect the innocent but these are women of the hobby that are not just casual one-timers these are notable folks, completely separate all in different states and almost the same type of stories and yeah, we're keeping the innocent anonymous yeah, exactly, this is just a Twitch stream we're not here to put anyone on trial and it's none of our business to know who it was Oh, Kirk Hobbs. It reminds me, George, when you were looking for a tool at Expo, and I said, there's plenty walking by you on a daily basis. I remember that.
83:14
Yeah, Alan, that hurts my soul too, man. This is one of my favorite hobbies that I partake in. Like I said, I'm still just trying to grapple with the fact that this is something that happens at Hobbies. Yeah, it needs to be said and addressed and put out there, for instance, like someone like me. I had no idea.
83:46
No, Kirk, take one Austrian point for that tool joke. Exactly, Alan. Yeah, and change, not just addressed and said, but... There's got to be something in place to prevent that.
84:14
Smoking Reaper would like to know, was the Expo vaccine required? Because that sounds scary with Delta. Um, everybody had their masks on. I don't know that the vaccine was required, though.
84:32
Flipstream would like to say to Alan that they wish they could say they didn't believe him and it wasn't a problem, but that would just be sticking their head in the sand and being part of the problem. Yeah. IceKeeDee says, Considering the kind of garbage that I've seen on Inside and the former Wreck Games pinball, none of that surprises me. Oh, gee, what's the way people talk to each other on Pinside?
84:54
Yep. It, uh, I feel like it's... It just gets brushed under the rug, or whatever that phrase is, a lot more often than people believe.
85:10
Uh, exactly. Wax no, monk-ass. Uh, Kurt has their moments when his wife and he got married, people told her she really won the raffle. First prize was a date with me. Second prize was two dates with me. Ba-boom! Whoa! Easy there.
85:35
Alright, start that hurry up. And what are we doing now? I don't really care so much about hitting it, But what I want to do is get the ball over to the other side.
85:54
Alright. I like thinking about his daughter, or Kelly, and how that kind of BS could affect them in the hobby, and that's totally not acceptable. Absolutely, Alan. Couldn't agree more.
86:04
Yep. Well, that's a good question. Would it be effect or affect? Effect is the impact of something else. Effect means it causes something, so there's cause and effect, which is with an E.
86:27
I think what George is saying, Alan, is you are correct, it was effect. Yeah, sorry, I'm not reading it.
86:34
That's fine. I heard a peanut says, a effect. Nice. Effect equals noun, a effect equals verb. Thank you, Flipstream.
86:48
Oh, so it would be A-effect. It would A-effect. I don't feel like when you Google the difference between effect and A-effect, it's as simple as noun and verb.
87:01
I feel like this is an entirely tangential argument. I'm totally good with A being wrong on this one. I absolutely love learning new words.
87:13
Learning how to use words better, I should say, in this case. It's funny, I was talking with Sarah, Scott Denise's wife, about aphasia versus anomia. And it turned out that my understanding of what anomia is was off. Because aphasia is, sorry, anomia is a particular type of aphasia.
87:43
Wow. Boom. What was that? Then dropping some knowledge on you. Right. It was kind of mutual knowledge, honestly. Oh, wow. That was really bad. The money is mine.
87:56
Okay, going in order here. Wax. The effect of your words are affecting me, man. Kirk Hobbs likes using big words. Like wheelbarrow.
88:07
Okay, Alan's getting off of his soapbox for now. Back to pinball and all. Just had to bring it up since it was brought up and it's been on his mind. Okay.
88:15
Flip screen. I can use that. That's a really simple rule. So if Miriam says usually, I'm good with it.
88:27
Well, I can't just go off of that. I never met Miriam. I don't know if she's honest. I don't even know if she's a she.
88:43
I'm getting heated about the people that make the most popular dictionary in the world. You know, here's a fun one. You know, the dictionary doesn't define the language.
89:01
It documents it. That's making my brain hurt. Okay. The catchover says, C'est la vie. There it is. This is also a hill I'm really not going to die on. Whether you use affect or effect, I'll use context.
89:23
Well, the verb, if the... So based on what Flipstream said, that's a really simple rule, right? Like, I or me, and you take the other stuff out of the sentence, and if I works, then you use I. I'm just thinking there's a song MC Frenelot has where he's saying a tribute but he's saying it with the meaning of attribute and there's a little conversation after the song ends and his drummer's like are you saying a tribute or attribute? attribute obviously it sounds like you said a tribute and he just says the words do whatever I tell them if I use it correctly it depends on how many beers I've had the guy I was working with who ended up leaving the company due to a number of issues, one of which was potentially drinking.
90:33
Struggled? Yeah, at work, struggled with using me inappropriately. Just not correctly. Inappropriate in that instance makes it sound like he was saying bad things using me.
90:50
Which I didn't mean to just that. Was he using the word me or was he referring to you? He was using the word me when he just said I in conversation. Okay, thank you. That was very confusing.
91:04
Oh, flipstream. How do you tell the difference between a plumber and a chemist? Ask them to pronounce either unionized or unionized.
91:14
What was it? It's more of a visual joke. You'll have to look at it. Oh, unionized or unionized. Got it.
91:26
Because plumbers are all part of unions. I can't imagine not all of them. There's got to be a small town plumber that's just doing the best he can.
91:37
Ice Key, dude. Me don't work on the job. Me good employee. Thank you, Ice Key, dude. We needed some levity.
91:55
Oh, wow. That was great. Why use many words when few do? Or El Duderino, if brevity's not your sort of thing.
92:08
What is... That was Mark Twain, who said, essentially, if you have a way to say something with less words, say it with less words.
92:19
Oh, Kirk Hobbs has come in with a classic. What's the difference between God and the doctor? God doesn't think he's a doctor.
92:27
Grr. Spud killer dropping a rave on it That's awesome I'm looking forward to these Colder months I'm ready to kill some spuds myself I feel like that should make more sense Than it does right now I don't understand why you're killing spuds The holidays are coming George? Mashed potato season. Okay. Okay. Right. Thanksgiving is coming up. What's Thanksgiving without some mashed potatoes? Mashed potatoes. I usually do a ham because I find turkey to a little too dry I've never been able to make it right you got this
93:35
no I don't even know why I bother with the meat honestly for me it just has to be mashed potatoes and stuff it has to be mashed potatoes and what stuffing ooh yeah okay I'm losing I'm losing the check here you'll find your quarry Smoke and Reaper. What's the difference between a joke and a question?
93:58
Only 364 days left till Halloween. Wow. Uh, Ice Key do. Although there's a job opening in the local JobLink bank that is a spirits tester at a local bottling plant.
94:12
Good job. Flipstream asked his wife to describe him in five words, and she said, Mature. Oh, I'm mature. I'm moral. I'm pure I'm polite and I'm perfect then she added but I also had a fundamental lack of understanding of my apostrophe immoral impure impolite and imperfect what's your thing that can help you with your PC it's the IT Rex oh these are good and he's off on an infinity quest picket no side at expo but didn't want to wait in the line for it and they're trying to decide if it was worth waiting or not no Sorry, who asked that question? Oh, Piggott knows. I am not personally a fan of that game.
95:07
But there are lots of people who are. If you are a tournament player, I feel like that game was designed specifically for you. Flipstream had it and sold it good if you're a score chaser but otherwise pass yeah layout is awesome but the rule set on it is pretty complicated no depth just for complexity get rules, collect Avengers, watch, rinse, repeat Yeah, flip stream. That was really well said. I'll get gems.
95:55
Picket Nose says, Cool, we're trying to go through this turn. Smorgasbord, excellent word. And just skip that.
96:11
Yeah, it's a fun game. Give it a go. and the layout really is good, but I feel like you get that layout, but better, and you get a rule set that already is better or more enjoyable with Godzilla.
96:31
Ooh, Alan's giving Picket Nose his Elwynn game preference list. Go for Godzilla. Then Maidens, then JP's, then A.
96:43
IceKidoo is tired of it without ever having played it, and it was just by watching it on stream during that online head-to-head battle.
96:52
Right, Pin Clash. You have something I want. Spudkiller, to help you forget about Halloween season, prepare for Thanksgiving. They've got some Thanksgiving Day jokes. Alright, Spudkiller, go ahead and edit.
97:13
Go for the super jackpot! What did the turkey say to the turkey hunter? Quack, quack. I, like, missed the pinball machine on that one. It was kind of funny. Missed it by that much? It's this giant machine in front of me, and suddenly I'm like, I don't know, where's my left hand in relation to the pinball machine? If I had a nickel for how many times a day I had to ask myself where my left hand was?
97:50
You'd have three nickels? Eh, at least. At least, okay. What rock group has four guys who don't sing? Mount Rushmore! I just got the, what did the turkey say to the turkey hunter joke?
98:10
Sheriff, you have something I want! Me thinking, what? Another pinball machine? Ah! All right, let's start this. Oh, poor SP, dude. Tried to make up a joke the other night in Flipstream's chat, but Flipstream didn't even chuckle at it. Oh.
98:37
What jokes are allowed during lockdown? Inside jokes. Godzilla was great. The loop with the upper left flipper felt so good. I hit it four times, and it was just... I really hope that my Godzilla feels good with that upper loop, because I have played a bunch of Godzillas now, and I've had some negative experiences with that upper loop, where it just doesn't feel satisfying. By the way, that was also my biggest issue with Legends of Valhalla, was that the center... Wolfman. Hi. Welcome.
99:16
Um, that center ramp in Legends of Valhalla is the... God, come on, just give me the shot. There we go. What is blue and covered in feathers? A turkey holding a breath.
99:35
I'd just like to know if anyone's able to make the right ramp with the upper left flipper, and if that's even possible. The right ramp would be... Oh, on I'm Godzilla.
99:47
Okay. Sir says the loop is a little slower than Maiden, but they like it. The loop that they're with is amazing.
99:55
Wolfman says you have to tweak it. I see, dude. The man with Alzheimer's attempted to tell a joke in a pinball stream chat. And when it came time to tell the punchline. I do Google speech for text I hate Alan says it has a lot to do with the pitch George he was looking at back leg height and noticed the same thing and Wack says LOL knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad Have you ever had tomato and onion salad?
100:40
No, but that sounds really good. It's amazing. It's basically tomatoes, onions, and oil with a whole bunch of salt and pepper. It's wonderful.
100:51
That's my kind of salad. Yeah. That's what Reaper says. Salt? Yeah, actually. A little different. But charisma is getting someone to eat fruit salad with tomato in it.
101:05
Okay. So how was Cactus versus Godzilla? Cactus was great. I mean, if I had to choose one or the other, no question it would be Godzilla. There's just more depth there, and I don't want to have to wait a year to a year and a half for Lyman to finish up the code.
101:27
What's searching? turkeys prefer to use. Google, Google. Do it again. Oh, man. Excellent work.
101:49
Google, Google. I like it. Ah, so close. Alright, so child is lit. Man. Sarah says Cactus looked pretty, though. Oh, yeah.
102:02
I wasn't unhappy with Cactus. It's just... It feels... Wow, that sucked. Maybe people should change their logo on Thanksgiving Day to Gobble.
102:19
It's funny, because Cactus Canyon shoots so nicely. But Godzilla shoots... There's more going on in Godzilla, but Cactus Canyon shoots wonderful. Like, there's a ton of flow in Cactus.
102:37
Some people are like, Slinky, it's not really good for anything, but you can't help but smile when you see one tumbling down the stairs.
102:44
Kirk, ah, that's dark. Yeah, as I'm thinking that, I'm like, whoa. Wolfman says they should be getting a Godzilla LE down there soon.
102:55
Flipstream, my buddy said there's only one thing about Halloween that scares me, and I asked, which is? And he... Oh, and he replied exactly.
103:05
Hardy, hardy, hard. Witches, got it. Okay, we are caught up on chat. Thank you, Dice, and thank you for hanging out. I know we're running a little late today.
103:23
I run my own business with George. I can be as late as I want to be. What noise does a limping turkey make?
103:34
Wobble wobble. A work week is so rough that after Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar says WTF. Hmm.
103:49
Is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is? What the Cheska pops? That was cool Is palindrome the right word It a sentence palindrome though Yeah
104:08
This is just an additional message so that I don't get bored when there's no chat to read. A placeholder of sorts. Thank you, Ice Key, dude.
104:17
We look out for each other here at Don't Vanish What. All right, we've got to hit this left scoop to try and start this mode. Got it. George, you could have added the bonus multipliers with your extra ball in the foundry.
104:39
Oh, I could have done a twofer? Apparently so, according to Mr. Who. I saved the best car. I saved the best car for last.
104:50
Is that... Okay, Alan, as far as the remakes go, and quote-unquote keepers in the collection, Alan would go Attack from Mars or Medieval Madness, then CC, then MB, only on the fence between the castle and callouts, the flow and callouts.
105:14
Yeah, I really don't have a dog in that fight either, Alan. and I'm incredibly happy with my Medieval Madness remake. That's definitely bolted down in the collection.
105:24
Hmm. Askew says, yeah, but the combo pricing made it only 100 best card. Oh, so it was cheaper. Oh, so what were the best pins at Expo?
105:43
I saw a purple Elvira, which just looks superb. Yeah, Kirk Hobbs, that is a very, very pretty game, but you missed a rather lengthy conversation earlier about how much cheaper it would be to just powder coat it yourself. And everyone is just coming in, Godzilla, Godzilla, Godzilla.
106:01
Yeah, Godzilla was pretty awesome. It was the bell of the dang ball. You got one shot. Time that out. That kind of sucked.
106:17
That's okay, Crow Cops. We actually ended up starting really late. George had to reset up his gear. He took the X-Bone with him. Yep. And there was some technical malfunctions.
106:28
What? Yeah. It took a little bit to get everything set back up. Oh, Seraph, there's something about Godzilla that's fun, even if you're not playing well. Ooh, Seraph did really well, mind you, in the tournament. He was, I think, fourth or fifth place in B division.
106:50
Wow, congratulations. And Wax says, it's Gojira. Have fun beating that. Let's call it state of state here, guys. We were all late for one reason or another.
107:09
Oh, no. Oh, Spud Killer. That's my favorite one you've done. Sung to the tune of Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen. Hey, I just met you, and this is gravy. But here's my stuffing, so carve me maybe.
107:25
Wow. Does that get a point? I'm not sure. That might be too much of a dad joke song. Yeah, because that song came out when I was a senior in high school.
107:42
Call me maybe? Uh, yep. Frisco won't... No, actually, I was... I was a, uh... Junior. Suddenly, Frisco would like to know, when are you getting your Godzilla, George? Oh, I hope really, really soon, Frisco.
108:00
In fact, I sent out an email about it today. And I got back... The Valhalla was there, but that's it. It was just there. Expo came up all Godzilla and was worth it. I'm sorry George I keep cutting you off no no you do you so are you ready for the Mando vault Boba Fett edition Frisco just got confirmation for his on Wednesday oh nice for this Wednesday I do not have it coming this Wednesday Slipstream using that weird flexi-mode is in fact itself a weird flex. Even Smiles in a Crisis has found someone to blame.
108:52
Well, you know what they say. To err is human. To blame others. That's upper management potential. Got a meeting with the Bobs here. Hi, guys. Hi, Frisco. How you doing? I heard you got to meet George live and in person.
109:15
Yes. Watch for scapegoats. They have no way to blame but themselves. Spud Killer, credit time. All the preceding Thanksgiving jokes and puns were courtesy of 50 funny Thanksgiving jokes from Country Living. Google it if you want to read the rest.
109:32
You destroyed Frisco in arm wrestling because you're too buff? Wait, there was arm wrestling at Expo? Frisco says you destroyed him in arm wrestling because you're so buff. We never arm wrestled, but I would have arm wrestled. Hey, Ogden, so what would you say it is you do?
109:53
I deal with the content customers. So the engineers don't have to. I'm good with people. what the part about that don't you understand what is wrong with you people did you get george's autograph it's a jump to conclusion i have people skills damn it he autographed my bicep wow all right we're 246 Beskar.
110:42
Alright, we're gonna hit this foundry for 246 Beskar. Ooh, we got 28 as a bonus. Kirk Hobbs, you're never too old to learn something stupid.
110:55
Well, I suppose that's better than him signing your butt cheek. So he owns your arm now. I mean, he did have to sign for it.
111:05
And Flipstream says, have you beaten this game yet so you can sell it? I want to so bad. Beat it or sell it? Yes.
111:14
Bravo. That's right, Frisco. Now you have to get that autograph tattooed on you. What do I have to get?
111:23
No, Frisco has to get that autograph from his arm. He's got to get that tattooed so your signature's on his arm forever.
111:30
Oh. There goes that game. I'm 140k away. Let's go. In channel points, right? Oh, man. It's 1250. All right. Last game. You good, Dice, for one last game? You can go as long as you want to, George. I'll be here. That's not going to fit. Super skill shot. That's too easy. Is what that was.
112:11
Oh, you like my girl Shayla. Too easy. Oh, no. Now, now, now, now, now. You can do it all night long. I gotta figure out this post-transfer.
112:37
All right. Exactly as you do. If you want to pull a laser, Lowe's, and just run until noon tomorrow, I'll be here.
112:48
How is the time zone adjustment? Oh, I think she means you coming back from Expo. Oh. It was fine. It shouldn't be that bad, since in Colorado, they're only an hour behind me.
113:05
It wasn't that bad. I drove it, so I got to experience the time zone happen. And what was that? Just channel your inner lumberjack and chop away. Seraph, that's what I'm trying for.
113:22
There we go. Time is elevated more in Colorado, so there's that. I don't know, Spudkiller. My time is pretty elevated.
113:32
Something could be elevated. Frisco, I have a feeling everyone is going to make TPF even more enjoyable than Expo.
113:44
IceKeezy wants to know if you cracked yet. IceKeezy, I'm getting close. Oh, wow. Tired illusion. Lunchtime doubly so. Douglas Adams.
113:57
What are you waiting for on getting that cliffy protector? What cliffy protector? You gotta take that up with Ice Key, dude.
114:08
Oh, sorry, I meant George. Do you have a ramp crack yet? Nope, I have no ramp crack. Hey, Ogden, it's nice driving west and getting those hours back. Yeah, yeah, or hour. I went central to mountain.
114:24
Ooh, Alan's saying the TPF is better than Expo. Can confirm. Yeah, I've been to TPF, and Expo was really fun, but it was the people that made it fun. The event itself was maybe about two-thirds the size of TPF, and I just remember TPF being a lot more fun.
114:44
A lot more pinball fun, I should say. That's very true. George does not work on pins, so he has to beat them before they break them. Exactly. Yeah, that was really well put. Was that Wolfman? Okay. Yeah, a little bit.
115:02
A little bit. I know what he meant, but a ramp crack sounds dangerous and painful when sitting down.
115:13
Apparently you smoke ramp crack. You do. Hyper 85 wants to know, George, JP Pro or Godzilla Pro? That's a tough one. Well, Hyper, if you want a Godzilla Pro, George has one he can sell. Yep.
115:30
So that depends. Are you a potential purchaser of my Godzilla Pro? In that case, I'd say definitely the Godzilla Pro. Flipstream's saying JP Prozilla Premium.
115:42
Okay. That's actually really helpful to answer that question. What? Oh, Kisco, yeah, you're so behind. I'm dialed in left a while ago.
115:55
Kirk Hobbs that's one of my favorite jokes for my kids my bum is broken there's gotta crack in it um I need more time with Godzilla to come to a determination on that but right now I'd say with the code as is today JP um but I think Godzilla has the potential to be a better game and Kisco, sorry, with like an updated list of games when I'm done cutting you off.
116:32
No worries. What do we got? We've got Star Trek LE, Stranger Things. Star Trek. Total Nuclear Annihilation. Mandalorian. Total Nuclear Annihilation. And S.T.A.R.S.
116:47
Very good. I think this is actually the lowest your collection has been in a while. Yeah, I'm at five, but I'm kind of prepping because I've got three games coming in. Godzilla, Ellie, Tron, which I get to go pick up soon since it's November.
117:06
Don't panic flip changes pins more often than in Warcraft. What? That's Wolfman. Okay. JP and Godzilla are very different. Godzilla's probably most similar to Maiden with rules and layout, but still pretty different.
117:23
I see it says Strangler oh yeah Stranger Things yep uh Kisco Tron Tron's been gone a long time yeah but I've got a new Tron coming in and Kisco would like to know when you're getting an Iron Maiden um you know I'd really like to get another Iron Maiden uh just so that way I can try and beat it The lion, the witch, and the pins in this collection?
117:58
Is that the... That he changes often as his wardrobe? I believe that was the spin on that, yes. Okay.
118:08
I don't think this is going to happen, but it's fine. It's fine. Tonight was the warm-up after a week of not playing this game all the time. Sarah says Maiden seemed to be the most played game in the tournament just then. And Kirk Hobbs says, George, just take the glass off and get done with it already. Kirk Hobbs, no, no, no. We're going to beat this. We were at two of the mini-wizard votes completed and the third one lit earlier. It's just... It's hard.
118:37
We just got to do it. and when it happens, it will be so worth it, and I'll be able to add it to some sort of a video that's like, hey, George can do things. That's the, I think that's literally the name of the video. I'm going to make it.
118:55
And it's going to go up there with Metallica. I don't know. What else? Jurassic Park. Deadpool. Mandalorian when that happens Encounters is just such a drag Kisco, I got to end of the line Which is all I was really trying for Command, do the thing Is the left and right outlaying post at their lowest? I have a bad feeling about this No, I always I will set them back to whatever the factory defaults are So right now on this they're in the middle position.
119:40
And Kisco would like to know if you ever beat Metallica. I made it to end of the line twice. And I put up 900 million on my best game.
119:54
And Hayhawken says, sounds like a captivating bot. Yeah, yeah. It'll be captivating. I like that. I really like that.
120:08
I got no coral with you, Mandalorian. That's far enough. Oh, I missed my hunter opportunity. Well, that's not something I thought I'd hear today. well you did hear about the what was it the quack quack from a turkey hunter uh Serif no he still has stranger things because he's never beaten it that's another one continue to get really close to beating some games but like fail to actually do the thing uh Kisco farthest on TNA reactor, wasn't it 9? It was 9.
121:06
So close. Yeah, so far. I started reactor 9. So, I could probably put together a much better video where it's just George choking at the finish line.
121:29
Ooh, so a really challenging pin would be Mando and the Upside Down. Yes. It was nine. Feels bad, man.
121:40
Seraph still hasn't beaten Maiden. Seraph, Maiden's not an easy game to beat. I am up. We're going to beat these, though. This one I'm not beating tonight, I'm pretty sure. Although that was a nice little combo right there.
122:06
Tilt is pretty tight too. Okay. And now we have at least one new person in chat tonight. If you enjoyed hanging out and talking with us feel free to hop into the Discord. We have subheadings about anything and everything you could ever want to talk about and just a little bit more.
122:25
And if there's something you'd like to talk about but doesn't seem to have its own defined section and you think it should, just let George know and he can put it in there for you.
122:33
Yeah. If you think about all the newer games that you buy and then the games that you sell at either a profit or a loss, do you think that you are overall in the red or that you've made a profit with the machines that you've bought and sold? Oh, my God. Dice, what do you think?
122:52
You've had some... And Ticket Nose just flied into the Discord server. Hey! You've had some pretty desirable pins in that collection that were in pretty good condition.
123:04
Uh-huh. Do you think I sell my games at a profit that often? I'd say you probably do occasionally, but I honestly think you've probably broken even. Yep. Maybe broken even. I doubt that.
123:27
So there you go, Ski-Doo. Sir, also, Upside Down gave me a win at the Turn-Dee this weekend. My eyes... Where'd that go? Oh, there it is. Lit up for that second Upside Down and picked up 100 million in about 10 seconds to come from behind. Nice.
123:44
Upside Down can be quite lucrative later on. Oh, here's the second question of the night from Spudkiller. White chocolate, alternative choice or abomination?
123:54
White chocolate? I like white chocolate. White chocolate is my favorite flavor, hands down. Well, I'd have to go dark, but... Hands down.
124:04
That's because I like things like me. Bitter. I see you. So, yeah, pinball's basically a cost-free hobby when you put it in perspective.
124:16
It's... Well... It's got a relatively high barrier for entry, but depending on what you get, it technically could be, yeah. As long as you only invest in one game and it's one that everyone wants, you could probably just keep trading with people for quite a while. You might even be able to get a couple if you got a really good one.
124:38
And yes, Flipstream, you are correct. White chocolate is not technically chocolate. Whatever it is, I think it's the best flavor.
124:46
Oh, well, if we're going by the ones that aren't technically chocolate, then I have to go German chocolate. Oh, that's not a flavor? Sorry, it's not a flavor of chocolate. The guy who created it, his last name was German.
125:02
Both men's just firing off tonight. White chocolate is a beer that Tote Paniclip drinks. Yeah, okay. Didn't you have a beer that had white chocolate in it? I don't know that I've had a white chocolate beer. I love white chocolate. I have a white chocolate mocha coffee at least once a day, every day.
125:19
You are correct, Kirk Hobbs. a lot of uncalculated maintenance costs for pins and cleaning and just fixing the little things.
125:27
Yeah, if you're not on top of your repair game, it's a hobby that can very quickly nickel and dime you. Yep.
125:37
If anyone ever tells me they're getting their first pin and they'd like to work on it and fix it themselves, my first piece of advice is to invest in a relatively nice soldering gun.
125:46
Good brand, good quality, good ratings. because you're going to be using that thing a lot. White chocolate is cocoa, butter, sugar... Oh, cocoa, butter, sugar, and milk sauce. No cocoa powder.
126:03
Darn it. Oh, yeah, flipstream. Also, make sure you have a desoldering station. Oh, fuck killer. The only thing is, what killer can really afford a space cadet on the desktop? Ha.
126:25
Alright, encounter level two is done. We're getting pretty close to being ready for Razorcrest. We're in our fourth mission.
126:35
Ah, yes, Razorcrest. My favorite type of lettuce. There is literally no rule that says that chocolate has to contain cocoa in order to be called chocolate. Huh. That's interesting.
126:52
Is that accurate? I never thought about it. Yet we do have white chocolate, which proves that. Alright, fur cops. I remember when I first started having things and cleaning them, thinking they weren't too bad. Uh, look.
127:09
Oh, oh, they were cleaning them with a microfiber cloth that was so dark and they were ashamed. I have many microfiber cloths specifically to clean pins. Alright, so this is the second Razorcrest multiball. We're on our last mission. Uh, Seraph, also just want to say during my bet game on Godzilla, Escher was playing Zillow next to me and I think he absorbed, uh, Seraph thinks they absorbed some of Escher's skill. I could, I could totally believe that. Seraph had 450 million looks over and he has over a billion.
127:58
I see dudes in chat dropping knowledge on what is and isn't coke. Or chocolate, rather. How about you come over here and give me a hand?
128:12
Is that going to do something? Am I still in a multiball for some reason? Apparently, he had a very good time.
128:22
Oh, yeah. Look at that. Ball was jammed up top. All right. I don't know what we're doing right now, but I can tell you I'm happy.
128:40
Making progress. There's one on the right ramp. Hmm. Let's try that again. Right ramp. Really? Try it a third time. Got it.
129:05
Third time's the charm. Other than missions, what other extra balls are there to get in this game? Let's see. So you've got the free one for missions. You can buy one with Beskar. and you can also be gifted one by the child.
129:31
Does that help? Thanks. Summary of my first date in college right there. I don't know what we're doing right now, but I can tell you I'm happy. Thanks.
129:51
What? Killer's on point with the jokes tonight. Oh, yeah, that was good. Always quick with the Joker to light up your birthday candle.
130:12
Darn it. Alright, so we got one more. Easy. I know we had plans to do... Actually, I think they were Shanghai. Our plans were shanghaied by the virus in 2020, but I know at some point we had plans to go to Vegas together, George. I'm going in April. Do you want to go to Vegas? In April, huh? Yep. I am going for an event that will be on the 2nd, and I'm currently trying to determine how many more days I'm going to stay.
130:42
Huh. I'm going for the Cali Bud Fest. It's basically a marijuana and music festival. Marijuana. Yep, the Cottonmouth Kings are going to be there, Appleman's going to be there, there's going to be DJ's, poolside smoking lounges, a 420 centered food court, which I cannot wait to see what that entails. Probably all the best tasting foods are the worst for you.
131:09
That, by the way, is broken right there. A, I think I'm down to do that. That actually sounds kind of fun. B, Foundry was lit, I have so much Beskar right now. Um, but it didn't give it to me because I'm in the mini wizard mode.
131:28
Just gonna let that go. This deck was popular. Mary Wan's, uh, music festival. A Ogden can smell the devil's lettuce from here.
131:43
Alan woke up at 10 and didn't have time to get back to his hotel to shower and get there. Hashtag lesson learned.
131:52
Lesson learned. Can you time those mini wizards out? You cannot. I don't think so, at least. All of them you have to complete. And then, once you light this is the way... Sorry, to light this is the way, after you complete Precious Cargo, you have what I want. Now, you can drain, and that completes the mini wizard mode. and then once you get this is the way ready, you have to hit every shot on the play field one more time. Oh, thank you for the context, Alan. That was in regards to him getting to the Olympics. Ah, got it.
132:30
Oh, man. You guys. I don't think the conditions are conducive in how old a growing glass is. Well, I'm also excited because there's going to be a competition which the public can judge in. There's going to be three different categories. There's going to be street grower versus dispensary, street grower versus street grower, dispensary versus dispensary, and there's going to be one other one. Now, is that from a collection of, like, known judges, or is this a popular choice? Oh, the general public gets to vote. Okay.
133:06
And there's going to be a concentrate section, a dab section, a flower section, a vape section. Okay. I'm taking it back. I thought maybe it was fun with a weed side thing, but this actually just sounds like a ton of marijuana. That's the whole event. It's being hosted by the 420 nurses.
133:29
Okay. Dice, thank you so much for hanging out with us this evening. Thank you so much for having me, George. You know this is probably one of the highlights of my week. It's the highlight of mine every week. Mondays are, I feel like the stream at this point that I'm looking forward to the most. Also, I don't know what I think about this camera being up there. Feels like I have to look up in order to look at the chat. Do you have any events coming up this week you'd like to promote? A battle of some kind? Okay. Excellent. Thank you. I don't have my phone. I have yet to try and figure out a battle. That's interesting. What we were trying to put together There was a battle on Hot Wheels between Jeb and McMuffin and Flipstream for this week. I've also got the potential for a battle between Sir Snarf, who works for Multimorphic, and somebody else.
134:30
And then I've got an opportunity to personally play Joel. The ones I just described were actually from two other people, and we've got some new tech we're going to use to try and bring everything in sync and real time with no delays whatsoever and still maintain 1080p 60 frames per second. So there's a lot of fun stuff we're going to be trying in the near future. I'm really hoping we can make a battle happen this week. If not, it'll be next. Actually, I don't know. I may not be streaming much next week or is it the week after? I'm going to Utah to pick up Tron and go see The Midnight. And then I'm driving back and checking out the midnight in Denver. I got VIP tickets. I will be bringing all my records and get them to sign all of my records. Hey. I don't know if you fixed the calendar yet.
135:22
I have not fixed the calendar. Surprisingly, there has not been much time. And that's also, you know, being an hour late to start tonight's stream. So I do apologize for starting late this evening. I think we ran roughly a little over an hour over standard time. I like that. This message is highlighted. We made up for it because now we've streamed longer than average. Yes, we're there. We did it. Alan, also, don't eat candy from a person at Expo just because you're hungry. You may start feeling more drunk. Grin face. More than drunk, right?
135:56
Ah, yeah, yeah. Maybe it's a good thing I wasn't there. Stickers. No, saving for George to get my... No, it doesn't flip stream. It would be either you get to pick out one of my emotes for me to get a tattoo of, or... Yeah, you can't just pick a random tattoo. Trust me, I tried. Or you can get a tattoo. I will pay for you to get a tattoo of one of my emotes. If the wording is unclear, I apologize. I need to go back and reword that. Or you can really save your points and make George get every emote tattoo at once.
136:34
All right. You guys, have a great night. Let's go find someone to raid. Laser's on. We could raid laser. Okay. We can raid some lasers. Let's see what happens. Guys, have a good one.
