Looking for. Oh, God, I got a great story about that song. Type Chrysanthemum if you can hear me. We're back. All right. All right, we are? Good. Let me double check something. Chris, C-R-Y-S dot dot fuck that. I agree, Tater. Perfect. Kitty Tango got it right, I think. I don't know. I can't spell worth a crap. All right, so currently everything is, I don't know if you can see, but I have my current delay set to 15 seconds, which means I'm a jerk. What do we think we should set that to to make sure we can hit it? 45 seconds? Yeah, that makes sense. 45? Yeah, why not? All right, we're setting it to 45. 45. Well, since this thing died halfway through and all the important meat was in the first video, we can play music now if you want. Oh, yeah. This has jams on it, unless you want to play jams. You can play jams in the background. So we don't have this uncomfortable silence. Yeah, it's so uncomfortable, dude. I don't want to hear George George tonight. How dare you? Hey. Yo. I call it puppet mode.py because originally I was mixing the movie, anime movie with the the standalone complex and everything. I tightened it all up to be just a standalone complex season one. So the puppet master mode doesn't make sense. That's in the first movie. And I only had four targets, 2501. So it's not there anymore. Is there... This looks great. It didn't crash. I put the screen back on. 26 videos of Ghost in the Shell pinball on YouTube and one more being released this Friday. What does that mean? Oh, Cat Kid. Yeah. Hey, Cat Kid. Can you post our... Well, now he's a stop. He can post a link. Yeah, yeah, Cat Kid. Post a link to the YouTube. The vanity link that has the name in there. The vanity link. for our YouTube channel. Hey, Jack. Are you trying to do what? You can just give a man a... Are you trying to do what now? Like I said? That, sir, is a Z-connector. Oh, yeah. And you know Z-connectors have a lock on one side and a slide the other way? Well, let's hope I put that on right. Yo, Penn Stadium. Thank you, buddy. Hey, Penn Stadium. Sam, this is the game we were talking about that would be great to have a generic GI light that we throw into the pinball for homebrew guys. It's got some great GI on it right now. Oh, word. Oh, no, we're using someone else's. Oh, no. Light them up. Oh, wait. Well, before. We've got to do good enough crowd. I have something special for you. Uh-oh. Alright. Please don't be a gun. It is not a... sorry. Alright Jack. Can you introduce me? Oh here, let me full screen this. Alright, so, open up. I think it's the right side. Holy shit, wait. What? Dude, this is like molded plastic. Fuck, wait a second. Will this fit in that thing outside? There's a big fax. Yo. Look at this thing. It doesn't backlight because it's not the right plastic. But it is vacuum-formed styrene. It is 3D, so we cut out the flipper and everything. I do it all the time. vacuum formed it it is a fun little sign down maybe it was the second test I made I made one want to make something for myself with the flipper so my little star and make it all in red you know that's fucking sick put that on a t-shirt put a train on it okay hang around your neck you'd be a Tupac this is awesome my man bro thank you dude I appreciate it no No problem. So we were talking about the topper and someone mentioned the Tachikoma would be great up there. I have a vacuum former we built. Oh you can just build a... Here, tell him. Should I light up on it? Yeah. So we have a vacuum former that we just built. Yeah. I could make that if we could make the mold. And it's not flexy, it's not fragile so you should be able to drill a couple holes in there. Oh, fuck yeah, we're gonna do this. Oh, there's a spider right there. We'll find a good place for this. Dude, this thing's fucking sick, dude. Wham, wham, sing! Vacuumed one of these grouts. That's sick. So you built one of these, like, in your garage? A vacuum former, two foot by two foot. All of this had to be cut out of wood. wood and it had to be made a little bit of a bevel so it could actually come out. I'm planning to make some jukebox parts with it. It was really fun. But now I can make my own ramps for my home game. Dude. So, Des can make his own vacuum-formed ramps. This ramp here, the section 9, is going to be half plastic. Cool. Dead flip. you you you you you you you you you you you We gotta hit one more, um... So I got a gate on that right orbit set me in this mode, it doesn't orbit. Yo, what's up, Jeff? Jeff Maycarz. Ooh, Moogs. That's a lot more points if I was playing the Moogs. Knock it off. That light is annoying. O-Y. O-Y. O-Y. Got O-Y. C. Okay. B. B. We need RG. That's wrong. We need G. That's not it. No, no. Duke, J. was in the scoop. Okay. Duke, J. was in the scoop. That isn't the ball going out the outside. Amen to that. Hey, gee, come on, baby. Much later. Ray-Ban battle. Dinos shoot the dive ramp. Tell the birds from the gas! All those are just random clips I took from the, uh, I took that from one of the episodes. There was another. Yeah, but you see, the thing is... What if the robot geisha is the man of Hayward? Oh, that's the roll. Where's the revocation? There it is. The whole point is when you get the other sideboard, you get more points if you just get the defensive. There's like 500 points in this. Let's roll. Let's roll. See? What happened? Jack got a ball on him. On top? Let's get up there. Oh, that was dirty. You can't trap it. Come on, baby, you got this. A little later. There you go. There you go. Ball's hit ball. Sorry I don't have a ball save time. I can run a ball save place. It's all good. Okay, we have G. Or else it would have said it. We have O. What are we missing? It wasn't B. Maybe Y? Oh yeah, I think it's reset. I think you reset it back to default. Nice. And there's going to be inserts, there's going to be code, it's going to get better. I don't want to sit there and do all these inserts and crap until I have... Until you know, yeah, what you want. No reason to cut. There's actually a moment that I can't get in there right now because I don't have the code in here. Oh, sure. Oh, you got a great knock-in. I'm going to do like a total ramps hit. So when you hit like kind of like uh, Adam's family when you get like 11 ramps you get a bonus. Oh like the bear kick ramps. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I want to get it when you get to about 42 ramps. It's going to give you like mega ramp mode. So you have like uh, like payback mode in T2. Oh yeah. So you got 15 seconds to hit points. Yeah, I make some shots. So I want to do um, so you can work on a few different things at a time. You can work on multiball, you can work on cyborg battle, you can work on the ladder mode. So the modes of the ladders is going to be, once you complete all three, you get a super jackpot. You get the ladder mode completed, and you defeat the last cyborg. You're going to be the Total Nuclear Annihilation. Annihilation is the last episode of Stand Alone Complex 1. The end. Not Total Nuclear Annihilation. It's going to be annihilation. And ladder annihilation. Let's roll. Let's roll. Bubble. Bubble. That's why you see that text go on the screen first. Ramps made. See, I just got a warning. You did get a warning. Get a bit. So that's why it said ramps made zero, because the code was broken, and it was causing the crashes all Friday night at MGC. Now, this game was completely ripped apart and got put together two days before MGC. I remember you having a different art from the plate field. The plate field was just rough cut. Yeah. It was all hand drawn. Didn't have all the decals. This is spray lacquer. Oh, excuse me. Oh, okay. Spray lacquer, water slide decal, laser printer at work, and some more spray lacquer. I think you can do a few more. Is there an end? Yeah. and his people. There. Is that it? The longest ellipses. Hell yeah, dude. How many modes do you have in here? Just the one? Just the one mode, sorry. Please, do not apologize, my friend. I don't want to... The next mode, after you assemble the team, and then you chase the Laughing Man. So Laughing Man is what you think your enemy is. Sure. So you have to catch the laughing man in the second one, which is, I think, the third or fourth episode. I forget which one. So I'm going to have arrows in front of all the seven shots-ish. And so you have to kind of, you've got two shots to hit to get him. So you have to chase him to catch him. So it's kind of like hit these shots, you have five seconds, they move, they have five seconds, kind of one of those things. Dope. And then the, I haven't thought through it. It's going to be about five modes in the ladder. It's going to be simple. The first one's the hard one, eight times, three times backwards, and assemble the team. So question for you with the P-Rock. So I got the P-Rock in the back, P3 Rock, and you plug in the USB cable to that. Did I just plug that right into my computer and then just talk to it through my command prop and stuff like that or whatever? And then you want to start messing with the display. You can have the display on your computer. Okay. And just don't get too crazy with the display until you know your resolution. Actual size and resolution. Yeah, because right now there's a window on my display. That's where you can kind of see the terminal behind that. When I get it so that's all you see, it's going to be just the display. I would probably want a display the size of what Stern is using here. The screws holes are there for your standardized LCD display. I mean, just go to pinball light and say, I want the display and the controller bolted in. For... See, what I'm using is going to be a metal bracket that has everything bolted in, and it holds the controller. You don't need the bracket because it's built into the panel. You just need the miniature screws, and I'm sure Scott will give you those miniature screws. I just need a monitor that big. Or do I ask for the sterling monitor? The LCD panel... Because it's LED-S, and it's weird. Yeah, you need the controller for it. So you need the LCD from, like Pinball Light will give you the LCD screen and the LBDS controller? Or are you offline talk to see if you can get the screen from Stern and see if Scott can hook you up with the controller? Sure. It's a pain in the butt. Or I can just find a monitor this size with an HDMI. Just, no, do the screen because that's going to fit and look better. Yeah, okay. It's just, you get the screen. I can just grab the Stern screen. Get the screen, get a controller to fit it, and you should be good. Bro, trust me, I do that more than you would know. They look great. I mean, it helps a lot. I mean, look at the game. Oh, wow. And then it just gives it a little life, a little warmth, a little something. And you could, if you want to do, like, slap them down to, like, completely blow it out. Yeah. I like it when they're up because they actually light the heart in the center a little bit. It bounces down, bounces our face. No sound. Cool. Type fart if you can't hear me. Okay. Let's go. Keep going. Oh, I guess there is no sound. Shit, my bad. Do you want to see if we can complete the assembly of the team model? What do I shoot for? Once you hit the drops and hit the scoot to start the motor, You have to shoot the ramp eight times forward and three times backwards. So, spell the drops first. Go on. Hit that speed. The drops qualify you to start. Okay, let's clear the drop. Holy. Chris Anthem. Chris-Fant-thum-um. Oh! Please come down clean. Get that G! I'm trying to trick it up there, but... Oh, if you only have one left, all you have to do is get an in-link. Now wait, stop. You've got one left. You have to get an in-link, right? Okay. If you get it up here and you just let it drain, you get an in-link. Okay. Smart. You see? I gave people a way to drain things that last time. Now what do I shoot for? Scoop. Scoop starts the mode. It's kind of like the ghost and ghost house rule. Why don't you get ghost and complete the slimer? Let's roll. Shooting the fucking ramp over and over again. I love it. Three. Three. Let's roll. Yeah, if you stab us, you can hit the ramp. There you go. Now what do I shoot? You have to shoot the ramp forward and back. Of course, now I'm not going to hit the ramp at all. Is it time? Uh, no. So she's like saying the names of the people? Yes. Do you have to be a multiball for this? No. You're not. You farting? Yeah, I'm farting. I don't know if I should feel good or bad about that. So, I want to have an animation or a picture of all the members. So, as you... You can see who you're collecting. Yeah. They may unbreak. Does it remember progress? No, it holds over when you're done. Okay. The remembering progress I'm having problem with, I don't know if it's the code or the version, but it was crashing and I had all the code right and I had two people online look at it and it just wouldn't work. So close, but it's hard. Let's roll. I cheated. Cheated the... I uh... I cheated the skill shot totally. Because uh, I didn't hit any of the shots that didn't qualify the skill. So um... So I uh, I know what shot to shoot to. Cheat it. The uh, continue to some of the team with the A2 loadout, that was actually a CAD kids idea to use that call out. We watched the first episode and we're like, take notes. And I want my money back, didn't register the check. Where's Pinquest on this one? Come on. Yeah, give us a score to shoot for. You're slacking, bud. Sorry, Internet. I'm looking for a good... That seems good. We're just moving the game a lot. I do that. Oh, no. I was doing the same thing. I don't care if people beat up my game at a show, because you know what? There we go. I'd rather they're having fun and keeping the ball alive than getting frustrated that the game is just not working for them. And I glued the crap out of the cabinet, so... You know, if they beat the crap out of it, it's not going to break. I don't think the color in the room is changing. Oh. Three of eight, and I have one in the back. Knock it off. Knock it off. All right, let's try this again. Hopefully these cars aren't getting too old. Roll. It's a prototype, my dude. Oh. Oh. There's no ball safe for most of the ball, is there? Ball safe takes work to code in. I still got a chance. Assemble a team right now. It does not have a timer. It just runs until you complete it. It's kind of like if you don't complete it, you know, you got the orbit cut off and it's not as fun. So you want to work to complete it. And face of the... It doesn't stay on the display. It visually shows the letter in the moment that you hit it. The hit, it just doesn't show total progress. I could program that in, I guess. Let's roll. Try to get to 42. Yeah. 42 ramp shots or spins? Ramp shots. Is that programmed in? That's broken. It's broke. Notice it's always zero. Oh, it just said none. None ramps hit. Yeah, I don't know. We're going to need a bigger ramp. I'm still waiting for the next computer and... That's cool. I got a few computers in the building for it. That's cool. How about... What about... Uh, yeah, yeah, so if right now runs forever, I'm gonna see how it goes, cause, uh... I, I think I should eventually, you know, if you don't complete it, I don't want you to be stuck with that single emote for like, a day or two, and that's hard. Um, so I probably might be able to do ball drain too, time's up. Yup. Alright. Free to say all day. Dude, I was drop catching the shit out of that ring trap too. Very clean drop catch too. I got to get what? Rubble. Rubble. I got to get what? Another thousand points to beat you? Oh bonus Not programmed in Bonus Amazing What that Here, I'll let you start us off. Yeah, this is a work in progress. Right now there is no, I don't have any play peel multipliers or anything. with the to multiply your shots you have to make combos and stuff really quickly so the more combos you make it's exponential the score you get so you can really roll it up if you can nail like the ramp forward and backwards and be able to alternate either ramp shots or orbits you can get a lot of points that way I'm planning on doing some more fun stuff with combos once I get more into the code my goal right now is to make it playable after the, my goal by January 1st is to have this game art done, complete, shoot well, and then I got, what, three months till MGC to code. Oh, there you go. And be able to really learn it. And inserts is going to make it a lot harder to code for. I'm definitely going to stop playing video games in my off time and just focus on programming our game so we can get this thing up and flipping. Yeah, and I'm, actually there's a 60% chance I might take a drive and bring this down to Texas Pinball Festival. I can't 100% yet, but it's a 60%. Oh, yeah, with the vacuum form sign, I did want to give a shout-out to Broken Token Podcast. Brent out there kind of gave me the idea that I could do a vacuum form on my own. And we talked back and forth, and, of course, now he's mad at me because I finished my vacuum form before. I love when that happens. Look at this shit. This is awesome. Step one, steal the underpants. Step two, wait. Step three, profit. Steal the underpants. Yeah, this thing's pretty cool. It's very sharp. I don't want you to bleed because of me. It's very sharp. They're doing a lot of soft work. I'll let you start us off. Oh. That's right, I have Player One's program to get more points. Oh, yeah, sure. Great, let's do it. It's a pretty loopy shot. That loop was very hard to make and very hard to keep working. Let's roll. Um, the next time this game's in public there's a very good chance that, ah, it's not going to be there. I'm going to probably replace it as World Pool. Oh, yeah, World Pool. It's just too hard to, it's too hard to make. Yeah. Let's roll. I need to add more coins. Why? Why? Is there a, how much does the spinner give you? How many points did the spinner give? I don't know. Maybe another swing. I mean, better than that. Let's roll. That's great. I think it's a 50 or something. Sorry. I'm sorry. It won't happen again. Dude, this game has got some crazy flow, and I love that you can drop catch so easily off of there. Can you? Oh. I think you can, uh, you've done it. You can hit that man forward and backwards. Left and right. Oh yeah. It's a tight shot backwards, but it's rewarding you, man. Choo-be-do-be-do-be-do. Something... No. Something's loose, yeah. Well, there's a thing rattling around in there. Yeah. We can pull it out. Piece of glue, maybe? Does it have a zombie mode? Zombie mode. I don't know what that means. This is glue. This is hot glue. I do not have a zombie mode. Wrong ghost. Oh, yeah, I'm up. Let's roll. I'm going to start programming my game. We're going to take this laptop home and start programming. Really? You're going to be playing the same game as the others tonight? Maybe. I'm going to be drinking, drinking, drinking. Does the other gentleman have a Twitter account? Twitter account? Do you have a Twitter account? No, I do not. You know, I hate... I have to go in for a consultation tomorrow. Internet. To have my... To get a vasectomy, essentially. How you doing, Pinball at the Zoo? And you want to be with you? If you could be there for moral support, that'd be good. Hold my hand and my penis. I guess we haven't known each other... You seem like a nice enough guy. Matt Al, I do not have a Twitter account. I do on Facebook on Pinball Mayhem and on YouTube Pinball Mayhem. Maybe I sound old. I'm not that old. But, man, it's a lot of work keeping up with those. And then I got the development forms and things like that. Yeah, man. I pretty much tell people you want to follow what we're up to and stuff. We post a lot of stuff on Facebook. like when we were working on videos and projects and uh as far as this goes um yeah find us there and keep up the good uh nice words let's roll multiball shit uh you want to keep the frozen peas ready jack oh yeah apparently frozen peas are the thing Proposing feed and a good series to binge and drugs for pain. For pain. I like how you had to say that on a separate line. I agree. For pain. So, you know how you say Gavin's so frickin' awesome? Yes. And I can't say enough good things about him. At Expo this last year, my game screwed up. And it broke the coupler I had for the upper flipper. The game was pretty much going to be a dead upper flipper game. Yeah. I'm talking to Gavin, he's like, you know, you ever try, think about a no-fear flipper on the, with a six and a half inch bat shaft on the top? I'm like, yeah, that would really work well. Gavin turns around and I'm like, well, I got one in my car, just pay me for it. I mean, of course, you know, everyone has a no-fear flipper bat in their car. Yeah, of course. Threw it on the next morning and the game kept going. That was great. What a guy. Gavin Gavin is the god, dude. That's why I come in GC. I had my game set up early. I'm like, hey, you got like three, four games here. Can I help? Gavin has everything. He really does. Yeah. Kiss it. Oh, you're trying to double. So as far as programming goes, that ramp, because it can be hit both ways, it's actually programmed like an orbit where you have to count which direction. Now what do I shoot? You have to hit it under the bat like that. Okay, cool. So I got one. You threw. Oh, my God, that's infuriating. Is that your two shots off? Yep. We almost did it, Internet. Oh, wow, you're kicking my ass. I blame the general lack of playability. I mocked something up for the ghost in the shell, sent it to your Twitter. Can you show the other fella? Let's roll. Three. Oh, holy... Yo, that's a, like... Mad. That's a little game idea. I mean, if it's off-court porn, that's, uh... Actually, it would not be too out of the norm for them, because, uh... Uh, Matsumi... Ah, Matsumi, uh... He, uh, kinda went off the deep end in the end of his career and went to soft-core anime. All right, here we go. Here it is. It's a... It looks cool. I like it because it manages to focus. A little risque, but... It's a little... It's a little risque. It's a little risque. You have to send that to me. Oh, yeah. Hold on. I've got to respond to a tweet. Crap with name. Ah, yeah, my timing's not right with my... Oh, the loop? Yeah, I'm not looping it long enough, and I have a problem. I agree. I'll get a closer look at that later. You've got to send that to me. She has no clothes in the movie. Yeah. True. True. Well, how can you be risque when you're just a robot? Now, a very good-looking robot that weighs about a ton, but... Let's roll. She did proposition a young boy in the second season. Come on. Come on. Get that T. Oh, okay. Let's roll. Let's roll. Let's roll. Let's roll. Okay, we got the T. The G is easy. Just shoot up the ramp and let it come down. Start the mode. You see, now, Keith, why are people bitching about that? What shot? That, uh... completing the goals. It's so hard. Tell him to shut up. Let's go backwards. No, just... Okay. I just wanted both, so we got one out of each. Can you... Okay. You can work on either one. You can do both at the same time. Yeah. Who's Jameson's school? Okay, I got an idea, Internet. I haven't decided art-wise if I want to go with a large image or if I want to go with more of a collage. I definitely don't want to do Data East 90s because that's pretty horrible stuff. I apologize if anybody on here did art for Data East in the 90s. Oh, I'm sure they all did. I was looking at Batman dating me so there's Jameson scoops on the right it's the flashing with the white light right now it's also connected via subway to the it's going to be a mystery shot eventually because Jameson is the organ dealer and the episode Missing Hearts, which I thought it would be really fun to have his organs be the mystery shot. Am I out of my mode then? No, you're still in. The music is still going. Okay. Oh, that's the mode music. Got it. So you got that flashing purple light. That means you need to hit it forward. And the blue light behind me at the home of Robot means that you still have a clear. It's like that. I'm using the flashes for insert right now. I like it. Use what you got. Use them if you got them. Yeah, Jameson is the CEO of the Oregon Bank Company. So he has a little metal body that looks like a cube with legs. He sold this whole body because it's worth money. All right, all right, here we go. And he has a fake Texan accent. Early. Not early enough. We have two more shots. Jesse, it's not Yamaha. It's by the Pesky organ. Not following. Can you be a little bit more specific what you mean? We did it. We're here to take over for you. Nice. You completed it. Let's go. Internet, we freaking did it. Speaking of hurricanes, good luck tomorrow, Jack. Oh, yeah. Should be good. Yeah, it's just the same bone. Great. We finished it. Internet, we've seen the code. We did it. You have completed it. Come on. Come on. Come on. I love that drop catch out of here. Oh. Copy. 82 loadout. Let's roll. Get it. Now we... Don't do it to me. Ooh, the spinner is screaming right now. I love it. This is a random sound. Got to do the under ramp. Oh, that was bad. Let's roll. Oh, get up there! That wasn't a hard-over shot. It certainly makes it much easier. Let's roll. Well, you gotta make sure that all your body parts have their firmware upgraded and compatible with each other. True. What the hell was my shot? Give me the shot. Give me the shot. Let's roll. Let's roll. Let's roll. Ha ha ha. Ba da da da da da. Tokyo C. Looks like a ball for her here. We'll move on. Heck yeah, I like the multiball here. Yep, let's go. Welcome aboard kids. Cool multiball. Well, it gives you three or six balls right away. What happens if I lock the ball up there? You get a, I think that's super jackpot. Jackal. Laughing Man moves. Let's roll. Frank Max, this is my homebrew Ghost in the Shell game. This is a one-off that I'm working on building and always improving. Useless jargon how's it going buddy thank you for the three months in a row flippers and butts up that was the ball straight that was a good ball good game good game Oh, okay. It's a very dead clip this time. B-E-A-D-F. Uh-oh. Check that clip, maybe it was good. Awesome. Hey, you see, useless jargon. Actually, in my hometown, they have the world's largest trivia contest, WWSP Trivia. 54 hours of trivia. Check it out. 54 hours? 54 hours. Starts at Friday at 6 and it goes Sunday to midnight. Jesus. That's intense, man. It's over the radio. Every two songs they ask a question and you have to call it in. Damn. I gotta take a picture of this in place too Stevens Point Wisconsin Skanson Skanson here you can start us off again Mar dude alright I'll save this and send it to you alright excellent you started three players great we'll figure it out sure okay Thanks Frank Max Let's roll Come on I should try to get to the Lama with halves again Oh, 200 bits from Frank Mack. Frank Mack. Thank you, buddy. Pin looks great. It is. It's a lot of fun. Here we go. That's a fun little ricochet. B. B. Y. B, Y. Oh, we got Y. Oh. Oh. G? Nope. I think we just need C. I think we got everything but C. Oh, wrong end. Let's roll. Maybe this B. No. I don't think I hit C hard enough. No? No, you hit it. I think it's like Y or B. I hit B just now. Someone suggested, you know, that's why I suggested a graded X, but someone said, you No, you should have it. You hit the letter already, it just makes a noise. Oh, yeah. Like, that was a damn good idea. Yo, Prince City, thanks for the 100 bits. What's the build cost on this? I don't think that's the number people like to divulge. Because usually it's kind of cuckoo. How do I say this like Bruce Willis? You know, you build a game, you save some money, it's cheaper than a real one. No, it's not. It's cheaper than a real one. It's literally not even close to being cheaper than a real Timbaltchi. Alright, I've hit literally everything. It's gotta be Y. Let's roll. What's going on? Because I think Cyborg is where my money was coming from. Let's roll. Yeah, if you get into Cyborg 2 and you drift the spinner, let's roll. You asshat. The thing is, you're going to be mad at the designer if I say anything right here. Yeah, how dare you. I definitely hit Y. I definitely hit C. I definitely hit G. What the fuck? What haven't I hit? Is it R maybe? I have no idea. Alright, split ease. Let's roll, let's roll. I'm just going to play with the ball by myself. Let's roll. Move for number one. That's a bad travel. Okay, we're in lane. Let's roll. Alright, here, ready? This is coming to you, just put it up top. Oh. You think I could actually... There it is. Boom. Right away. Okay, hold on to that ball. Oh, God. Oh, God, every scoop. Okay, that's coming to me. Oh, he's closing. Probably not going to stick around. Okay. Flip it. Oh. That's okay. We're going to beat this mode. Nicely done, my dear. I messed up. Bulma? Isn't that Dragon Ball Z? Bulma? Thunderbolt! Shit. You just thrust in your direction. Oooh. We are definitely smoking our own individual skulls. Ugh. Alright. Alright, we beat ourselves. Yep. Combined. We can bind. Our forces are... Together? Get in there. Alright. Woo-hoo! Woo-hoo! We got B. Yeah, I plan on having RGB lights in front of all the letters, so that each light represents a cyborg, but it also represents a letter. That you hit it, and... Yeah, so it'll change when you hit it, but it'll also be like, slowly you'll light them all up. light them all up. Tomorrow's a Darkwing Duck homebrew? Yeah, right. We have our cabinet all wired up. We just got a program on it. Oh! Knock it off. Knock it off. You good? Oh, I'm great. I'm pointed. So in Cyborg 2, instead of hitting the ramp you just hit the spinner? Let's roll. You can say where to do it. Say where to bring it. You can get up on the point, but it's a switch it mode. And you end it when you hit the ramp. Quarter times out. Beautiful. You have 45 seconds of spinner goodness. Or switch goodness. We have R&B for sure. R&B for sure. You have to pat the first sideboard to get there. Yeah. Let's see. Let's get C. It's nice that there's some way on the pinball machine to indicate the progress. Like life. I'm wondering if the C target hasn't stopped working. Let's listen. Yeah, it's not even making noise. I think we broke C. Yeah. Man, a broken wire. Knock it off. Knock it off. Can't see from here. You can pop up the play field and check later. Okay. Yeah, whatever. I mean, we're good. Finish the game. Please. Yeah, let's go. Here, we'll just flip her. I'll be on this side now. You got all the control in there, dude. Let's roll. Okay. All set. I'm playing with my middle finger. I'm playing with my middle finger. Oh, whoop. Alright, last ball. Can he do it? Alright, you don't know what I'm doing? No way I'm in. What am I trying to do again? Probably broke a wire off the screen. Take a look at it. I'm going to try to get it. I'm going to try to get it. I'm going to try to get it. I'm going to try to get it. off the screen. Take a look at it. I got the tools right here. It would take all of five seconds to fix if it is. I'm from Timball Internet and I build this stuff to hold up to commercial abuse. This play field has probably about 400, 450 plays on it. I like to consider one play to be about a dollar worth of damage to the video. Knock it off. The other play The other playfield that was made out of the crappy wood had about a thousand plays on it. That's insane. Fudgy. Oh, sir. I played with my middle finger. Good luck. Let's roll. Yeah, this... that speed right there... Drop catch. It's so good. That's why the combo ramp shot in the pole would be so nice. Oh yeah. Drop catch in this game. But you know, you gotta, even though it's a little bit right heavy of a game, you gotta show off the number one feature, which is that ramp. Gotta get that upper playfield baby. Ball save. Let's roll. Let's roll. I need to put a 5 second ball save on there. A little ball save would be nice. multiball to no ball save. So tomorrow you're going to have your appointment to do a ball save. all shaved, more like it. Let's roll. That place looks like an ice store It really does Jesus Christ Where are you from I watch every once in a while You a BC boy? I am in Chicago. This right here, the flipper, is a play on the Chicago flag. I did not notice that. Want me just to play it out? So, alright, how are we going to do this? Okay, I'll take the light. Let's do it. Flip. Freeze. Finish shot. Into drop targets. Woo! Oh, we got some Jameson. Let's see what the... Jameson, I haven't seen him in a while. And I'm spanking. Let's roll. Let's roll. One in lane. Let's roll. Nice two. Oh. Hey look, hit the damn target. I guess the two main complaints I've gotten with this game, or you know, things I'm not going to fix, are that G cannot be hit. That was stupid. No, we almost rolled it back. We're still good. Perfect! If we still ghost again like that, we get another ball. Let's roll. Let's roll. Let's roll. Yeah, you can get all the six balls out of the play field. Molly Hatchett, thank you for gifting the tier one sub to Semi Radical. Love you, buddy. Jones over again. Biddley boo, biddley boo. DJ. Oh, my good recovery. I'm sure you can't keep that one in You're doing great Yes, Sue Coming to you Just kidding How many shots was that? I wasn't paying attention Four out of eight Five Six Seven Hey Let's roll That door is a lot tougher Okay, we're going to try something else Leave that flipper down Let's see if I can do this from the side Nope Knock it off Oh What does that mean? All right, we're going to take a look at this potentially busted wire on the C target. I see. Ooh. I love this. It's like just hand-painted. That was my mother-in-law did that. That's amazing. I gave her a picture of the Solid State Society album, and I gave her a picture of my hand. How many balls are in this? Six? Six. I mean... You have to come all the way up? Okay, let's see. Can you kind of hold that? Yeah, I can definitely hold it. C is right here. That is a broken wire. Yeah. Take me five seconds to fix it. No, more than five seconds. Well, there's your problem. If you don't have a stripper... Well, there's your problem. Yeah. I might have to step down. Oh, there you go. No? It's the smallest. These are really small wires. There you go. There you go. Tiny little guy. Yeah, this is programmed in Python. I learned a lesson there. The wires we used are a little thin. and the wire harnesses I got to do this are not available anymore. The wire harnesses are not available anymore. What do you mean? Somebody used to sell a pre-made harness for the switches that made it a little bit quicker, but they were super thin wires and they had problem breaking. Like that. We could POV of the play field. Yeah, you like that? it's like you're whoa what is that switch down there dude turn on the soldering iron what I turned on the soldering iron no what's that switch I'm sorry that switch right there oh yeah yeah don't touch that switch that little guy oh that old thing yeah that's the death switch that is um so when I'm at shows because it's a computer based with Linux if someone starts flipping the power switch on and off yeah it could fry the computer right So I soldered a power switch on top of that power switch. So if I hit that switch, you can't turn it off at the switch under the cabinet. You need a key. Dope. So it just circumvents this power switch. Yeah. Smart. Oops. Soldering while drinking. Drinking. Drunk in solder. The actual bar of solder is more dangerous than anything else. And that is why you like a good iron. Internet. See how quickly that's fixed? Done. Yeah, that got hot real quick. Yeah. This iron, my electronic repair guy I talked to, he has it. He has it turned on his bench every day, eight hours a day of work. Elements last two years. Holy crap. So, for a friendly little man... We will never, like, go through it. The only thing is you can't do the slam against the pin. You just have to... Can you pick up just in that hole? Pick up at the hole? Yeah. Ah, yeah, just like that. Okay, that's good. The hole that's been properly fixed. We no longer have the horrible noise that made you lose your ears. That was pretty intense. Okay, so let's just... Oh, false. I did it myself. I'm just going to do a quick stretch test. Okay. That's the first one. And now this. Oh, fuck me. That's where all the points are, dude. Yikes. Okay. Yeah. I mean, that sounds... I have figured out how to not let it come in. Okay. Oh, my God. Oh, man. Okay, that's two things. All right, and then the third one. Holy moly. I'm afraid everything's out of set. Let's shoot the dive ramp. Oh my God, yeah. AJ, thank you for 47 months of that year, too. Oh my God, that's ridiculous. Biddies, biddies, whistles and butts. Well, what do you say the most? Let's roll. That's hilarious. Internet, we should be good to start programming our game immediately. I had got the cabinet all wired up for us. Let's roll. Yeah, my car should be fine where it's at then, right? Oh, yeah. Good. If you want to go take a look at it. I might just, yeah, let me just pop out here. Maybe inch it forward a few feet. if it gets stolen or whatever at this point. I'm sure you don't have to move it unless that person in front of you is gone and you want to move it up, but I think you're fine. Okay, I'll just take a shot. I would just make sure that it's there. I'm going to step on stop. All right, see you in a minute. Molly Hatchet, the purpose behind this game that we built here was for what you're asking right there. we are done for the most part with the documentary I just gotta cut it together and it's how to create a pinball machine from zero to a hundred like how to do everything and I didn't know how to do any of this going into it like zero now there's things that I don't want to retain like the electronics and stuff so shit like that we're gonna leave up to it's like again like he said choose your battles I'm going to focus on design layout, rule sets, and art. You know? He's obviously really good with electronics. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, do what you got to do. Turn it on. Yep, learned how to build a bullshit quick rotisserie. by the way um that rotisserie was awesome but I couldn't bring it with me so all the money is in spelling cyborg and then never going up that fucking ramp which is fine because it's hard to beat that ramp anyway I added you last second. You're good. Knock it off. What did I do? Oh, you're doing great. You're doing great. Was your card still there? Yeah. I could see it. I mean... Wait. What's with the score? Oh, were we already playing a two-player game? No. Wait, what's going on? Maybe a triple hit. Can you, like, hold start to restart it or anything? Nope. Oh, the score was locked on there. Oh, weird. But I can... hit that button and hit that button. Like escape just kicks you out of it immediately? Yeah, it kills it. Turn this off. Doing good for beer. Boy, do I love Coors Light. PBR is good. Sometimes you just need a... Is that for till the doctor's using them on? Crimp it. You know, this one... I don't think it matters. This one's got a lot of love. Extra sugar. What's up, baby? It could be Ray. My pleasure. I don't want to take your tool anymore, dude. Yeah, you know, it's a very personal thing. Absolutely. I'm going to send you home with my new kid. Yeah. I don't want you clenching my tool too much. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Oh, baby. All right, here we go. Player one, player two, sideboard time. I got the score. Hey Jack, yo it's Trigger. Good to see you bud. I am great. I feel great, I look great, and I strike. And there's no ball safe for you. Definitely need to put some more depth in the code. Come on. That was nice. Would have been nice if I needed it. What's jamming, Jimmy Jam? What's jamming? It's today, Wednesday? Today is Wednesday, yeah. You're done. Take me, little lady. Darn it, little lady. Gee, I'm scared. Darn it, Bo. Let's roll. Let's roll. Let's roll. Rubble. Oh, Rubble. Rubbo. At least I got that moral of the deal. Bagel Rabbit, good to see you. All right, this is it. I get 730 whole points. Yeah. And I make that loop show. Does ghost, spelling ghost, give me anything during multiball? No. All right. No! You've ruined my life! Oh, shit. Sometimes you beat the ramp, sometimes the ramp beats you. Sometimes the ramp beats you! Let's roll. Let's roll. Did you make that pinball game? No, this game was made by my buddy Ed here. He brought it over for us to stream it, but also to sort of have it as a reference for us wiring up our game. Oh. Oh. It did come useful to check to make sure our switches were registered. Yeah. Yeah, we were working on our game earlier and then we threw this under the camera so we could blow it up. So it's pretty light, but there's enough code to play. Mm-hmm. Get a few hours of play. As long as we can, listen, sounds fly off when you hit shit. Like, it's all matter. Oh, you butt. What's your thought about that, Ram? Is it a hard shot? No, it's fine. I'm hitting it just fine. The shot that blows my mind is the Jameson shot. It looks like it would be impossible, but it's actually really smooth. It's like the very bottom of your flipper, but yeah, it just pops right in there. It's a good spot for a mystery shot. Yeah. Yeah. What have I done? Okay, that ball's gone. Like that. Yeah, it's like super late, but I dig it. It worked a lot like the stainless steel ramp built and had to do some weld marks on there and stuff. There was some last minute adjustments but I'm leaving it just the way it is because it worked. Yeah man, get it. The upper plate field is eventually going to be clear acrylic. Oh that'd be sick. It's going to have a quarter inch aluminum framework underneath it that's just going to support it. Okay. lot but if you notice nothing is actually folded to it from the underside it's just damaged down there so uh you said this right the left branch is made from an old refrigerator something uh yeah the metal was uh the front metal out of the fridge that i had So I just white powder coated the sheet metal. I just, it's cheap, and it was, I just started cutting it and made it work. One shot away. Don't do it to me. Oh, come on, baby. Oh. Oh. Oh, you turd. Right here. Damn it, why? Can I finish it? Can I finish it? Yeah. I'll take it. Let's roll. Let's roll. Okay, we got to get under the ramp. It's right here. Oh, shit. Right there. We finished it. We're here to take over for you. Assemble the team with an 18 million. He just started over again. Nine and a touch. Home run. All the money. I saw you just did that. I didn't know. All the things you didn't know was possible on my own. That's why you need other people playing it. Oh, you're in two. Hit the thing. I'm not good at it. Shit. Wait, I was in two already? You're in cyborg two. Damn it. But, you know, you didn't complete it. Check your mobile data. Come on. Keep hitting that ramp. I'm learning Japanese. Calculus is cool. What's going on? This is not my game. This is my buddy Ed's game. He came over to help us wire up our pinball machine so that we could start coding for it. Having a reference P-Rock game made it a little bit easier. So if you look at the video from earlier today, before we crashed, you'll see us working and wiring up my cabinet. How'd you get the decals on the wood here? There's a paper you can get called water slide decal that you can run through a laser printer. This person right now is in the front. Yeah. And I ran it through a laser printer and worked a copier of color and cut it out and put it down. Did you clear over it or is it just on there? I initially cleared the plate field with two coats of spray can lacquer. Okay. Which everyone says is too hard for play field if you get too thick of a coat. And you can see the heavy grain if you kind of got close to it. Yeah, it looks great. But, oh, faster. No, it didn't bounce. So, yeah, I printed out, I gave two coats of lacquer, 220 the whole thing. Then I printed those out and just soaked them in water, slid them on, let that cure overnight with a fan on it, and I gave another two coats of lacquer. It was good. It was a rattle can. Is that how you did the letters and shit like that too? Yeah. That's pretty awesome. There's a really quick way to get some art and have it like... Stay on there? People at a show see a game that's in white wood? Yeah. Oh, that doesn't even play. Yeah, man. That's not a bad idea. Gee. Jameson. Ghost in the Shell is packed all day. It's just taking over. Let's roll, let's roll. Double. Okay, I think I need B. Maybe O. Okay, come down. Okay. O. Just kidding. Okay, just kidding. Still, okay, still kidding. Yeah, don't hit any of the drum cards, it's awesome. Don't hit anything, please. Oh, here comes the money. Where's the box? Alright, here we go. It's so much. You just have to watch the first episode of... So that call, it means it's over? Probably kill people and I eat. Okay. Well, you completed it. Now the next switch mode is... the super nonsense. Okay, we got C. For sure. B? We got B. We got R. We got O. We just need Y. Nope. What are we missing here? Oh, gee. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Way more battle. Let's roll. Biddy's, Biddy's. Biddy's, Biddy's. Biddy's, Biddy's. Oh, my God. It's so much. Let's roll. Biddy's, Biddy's. It's so much. Oh, my God, dude. I love it. Flippers? What's in there somewhere? Internet, internet. Let's roll. Oh, my God. Oh, my God, dude. Purple, thank you dude, thank you for the biddies. Thank you for the biddies. That is a lot dude. That's freaking hilarious. Man, the Carl is from Llamas with Hats. These are some things I threw in there just to have some fun. Once I got some lights and things that I can actually program around, the cyborg battles will be hitting certain switches. And now he's blowing this thing up in the floor. But, I think the cyborg battle might be a little bit off balance right now. scoring the little that's what I was going for the screens a little much no I love it Vinny's hey yo our D band it thanks for the bidding purple turfer thanks for the bidding bitties what's up Raven honey how you doing but good to see you Do you even have to say bitties after all that? Get him. Get him going. Bitties. I'm wonderful. Thank you for asking, Raven. Not even joking, that should be your new bit. bitty bitty bitty bitty bitty bitty bitty bitty bitty bitty bitty bitty bitty bitty bitties 121 K I'll take it grand champion let's go Dead. That's great, dude. I saw your show thing coming up. You like that? Yeah. Loving the G-I-T-S theme music? Hell yeah. Yeah. Equals. Theme music is very true to the show. Bitties. But it's not too over the top. I hope it doesn't get annoying over time, but we'll see. We'll see how people like it after this game. Loving the G.I.T.S. theme music. You know it, buddy. Dude. G.C.? Who's E.D.O.? Probably. That's me, yeah. Yeah. Long Ellipses. R.E.S.? Anybody? That's Rusty Talon. Ah, Rusty Lizard, my friend. Yo, Rusty, here's how you break the game. Cyborg 3, spin her all day. Cyborg 2, spin her all day. That's good. The show was good, but I thought the original movie was the best. Reminded me of the real world intro. Exactly. Honestly, no, that music kind of sounds like the opening to the Beavis and Bethead cartoon a little bit. A little bit. Well, I've got to go. Big day tomorrow. All right, Matt, have a wonderful day, too. Oh, awesome, man. That's amazing. Matt, I've been following a lot of the vacuum former. Now I'm thinking, what kind of cosplay? You have to make a proton pack, dude. I mean, all those parts. There's a lot of websites devoted to, oh, this is that twisted ribbon and getting the parts right. So, yeah, it's just. And if it doesn't look true to the film, don't even make it. Do it again. Don't even make it. Storm Trooper, yeah. Obviously Storm Trooper gear. Think about it. If you vacuum form, you just make a mold of your leg, and you could actually make that plastic armor real quick. You just make a curve, and then you can make custom-fit Stormtrooper armor. Hell, yeah. So before we continue let figure out what the hell we doing tomorrow Because I eventually need to help you get this back in your car Yeah I need to get it back At some point I going to break it down get it wrapped up I've got plastic wrapped in my car. Yeah. On TNA, how did you put up a dead flip on the big screen? Scott Danesi, he did that. I don't want to get into the story. Scott's a good friend. We'll just put it that way. I put a dead flip on here because we figure if you're going to stream, if you're going to give me enough stream time or whatever, I at least can throw a dead flip on there. Brother, I appreciate it. Until someone buys the game and takes it off. I made a Deft Punk helmet. We used a vacuum former for the glove parts. That's sick. Oh, cool. So, like, the little, like, bits that attach to the gloves. That's freaking awesome. You can buy a proton pack kit, but... has to be the reboot the girl who goes yeah no kidding yeah it's gotta be the original oh did they redo the proton packs for the new movie yeah oh really different style more lights oh cause they they like enhanced them or re reimagined them or whatever yeah sick dude gotta blame myself I have actually a full field test of this equipment I blame myself So do I. So, yeah, I guess you got to go. Where's the machine you built? We got some programming to do on it, for sure. But it's wired up, ready to go. Also, we got to put in, we got to build a whole new play field. So the next stream we do on this thing, first off, we're going to program it to make sure we can get everything firing. Then when we do, we're going to cut a whole new play field with geometry fixes. So essentially printing out a new CAD, laying it down on a new piece of wood, dremeling and drilling, and it should be good. I'm planning on it. Hell yeah. You still haven't been over here. You weren't even at my old studio. We've got to make that shit happen. Sure. I'll sort this out. So, yeah, I guess we have to just decide where we're going to go. I told them to kick me out of here, Mark. Mm-hmm. So I take my daughter to school at 8 o'clock in the morning. Okay. And I can be here whenever after that. Sure. I probably will be up and moving and everything by then. Okay. Cool. Does Stern Jurassic Park have a dead flip code? No. Only games programmed by Dwight Sullivan have the dead flip code in them. Or until I can bribe Tim Sexton and Lonnie and Lyman. I could probably get Lyman to put a code in for me. He owes me a bunch of beer. I could just say it's a wash. I have not yet figured out how to put a dead flip code into a sculpture. Oh, to add a flipper code during a trek mode? Yeah, I want to do some flipper codes. There's a way to do it. We're programming this work. I don't doubt yeah, so it's me see Then a board battle the dive right? You Jameson Oh why Having a custom game is a lot of work. Yeah. I don't know if I would do it for somebody, but a lot of people do custom games where they have a re-theme on their existing game. Re-themes are a lot chiller and a lot less expensive. Because something like this, you've got a lot of, does the shot work? People say, oh yeah, this is drawing from Python or whomever. It looks beautiful, but it doesn't work. That's where the time comes in. So I, I have been working on this game for two years. There you go. And it's not even close to done. So yeah, that's a hard one. Have one with your own shot. There are some people that do do something like retail. Do do? Yeah, just care of the place. Try to find someone to do a retail plan. Of course, having the code is the hard part too. Oh yeah. I after I get this one done I am going to be building my next game is going to be a re-theme I have a play field already from another game and I'm going to get some brackets and stuff tomorrow but is that even a re-theme? it's more like a re-imagining you know how Chip Fuse says he would take a car and get the ugly out of it it's the same thing you're just going to hammer the ugly out of the car I'm going to get ugly out of this game, this playthrough. I'm going to make it fit this camera so I don't have to rebuy everything. I don't care how it plays. I mean, how the images look from my basement, how much that. That's tough. Yeah. That's sort of like asking, like, how much is a custom car? Yeah. You know, what are we starting with? What are we doing to it? How much time are we putting into it? It's a hard one. I have to find. I'm going to put the ugly in. Oh, well. So, yeah, this game I got is going to be a re-theme. But there's some stuff that I don't like because I like an open lower half of a play field. It's just that that's what I like. I hate stuff like... Room to move. Right. You man your shots. And I got... There's some stuff in there that I need to shorten up. But the cool part is I got all the inserts and everything and I can just re-drill them. So, it's going to be sleazy. Didn't, like, Python's last game prototype or something like that, was something really, like, body parts? Are you thinking of Zingy Bingy? Yeah, Zingy Bingy. That was an EM. That was kind of old. Oh, that's an old one? But that's just a... But, like, the pop-up was the boots. Yeah, it was really not family friendly. Well, unless you have that kind of family. Oh come on! Yeah, a guy in California owns Zingy. Finally the weapon 3 has re-came in. It's not a bad shooting game. That's what they did for the Michael Jordan pin. Yeah, it was legal. Luckily, the game I'm going to be building is a playfield invasion game. It has not been re-themed. And the theme I picked has not been done yet. If I can get the arson hammered out, all I've got to do is code and rewire it. And fix the ugly stuff I made. There's something about... Like, I'm still trying to figure out if I do a licensed theme. Like, if I was to make a Bill and Ted's game, is the artwork on the play field and stuff like that, like, just screen caps? That would look trashy. You would need, like, you would have to find, like, an illustrative way of doing it. That's sort of why Frenchies artwork works, because it's, like, it's real but not. See, look at Tron. It's a good game, but the drawn art or the Photoshop path art, which is what most of that is, then you mix the real images in there, it just looks bad. It looks kind of piss poor. I can feel you. And of course, the Photoshop and the Aliasing are line edges. Shoot the diagram. It's a pinball. Look at Jurassic Park. I mean, it has plate field animations of plate field out there. Yeah. It's not giving you animation. Hey! Yes, I need to fix that. All right, you got 48,000 of Carl. You happy? I smashed the spinner. I'm just going to shoot it. Jack broke it. Well, that's coming back. I would think you'd almost have to... It's okay to have the pinball be... Almost. I'm playing for shit. I wouldn't get away with knocking it off. Let's roll. That's coming back. Whoop! One, two, three. Three. You're done! What? I think we just need to see. I guess we need O. You need that rape in the end. Yeah, it can't be seen as a get it going and just rape the spinner for four times. Just smash it, smash it, smash it, smash it. You found the weakness in my game. It's all about just smashing the spinner. Oh my god. Oh my god, it's amazing. It's so annoying, it's hilarious. And this, my friend, is why I don't program professionally. That's pretty good. Am I going to TwitchCon? I sure am, buddy. I'll see you there. This is a test in mental strength. He's the one that keeps you up in the spinner. Hit the spinner, make the money. It does sound like a murloc. Sounds like a frickin' murloc from World of Warcraft. Girl! Will Jack get the grunt? Oh yeah. We're totally getting Jurassic Park internet, don't sweat it. I just don't know when. Yeah, I can't wait to play that game. It looks good. Very unique game. Very unique game. Oops. So when you finally do watch Llamas with Hats, you're going to be like, oh my god. Oh, I get it. Die, hipster die. What's up, buddy? JP over Maiden? Yeah, absolutely. That was, um... I'm going to go with Inflatable Magic and stuff like that. Oh no, we're done. I'm gonna, I'll just play one more game. What's up? Oh, yeah, I have not played JP, and I'd love to. I mean, it looks like it's just as fun as Iron... Looks like it's just as fun as Iron Maiden, but a theme that's more palatable. Come on. Ugh. Playing for crap. Knock it off. Cool. There we go. There you go. Late. Yeah, my skill shot is the... to hit the plunger hard enough to go up the backside of that ramp. And I also have a backup skill shot at the inner lane, but if you don't hit any of the shots that cancel the skill shot, you can try to remake it. knock it off these are two well I wanted to make something that had challenging modes and shots but when you like but you know at a show someone could to play and get into, you know, have some fun with it. So I didn't want it to be too hard. Oh, JP. I'm shooting for shit right now. Yeah, it looks like an easy shooter. I just haven't... The only person here that shot it is Jack. Jack, they're asking about the Iron Maiden versus... Versus... Jurassic Park all day. JP? All day. Easier to shoot? Yeah. 100% Oh great, I'm going to be electrocuted while I sleep. Okay. Well, that's the wrong direction. Why did it suck? You're supposed to blow. Get drunk and blow up a mattress. Well, Jack did say I could crash here in Chicago. I mean, listen, if you want to sleep on my couch, you can do that too. No, this is fun. There we go. We got seats, blankets, pillows. I got one of these. I'm a pretty easy going guy. This is a nice fucking air mattress. All right. Ditch will pass or die. On the right side of your left. They say you should play more of this row. Yeah, this row is tough. We need Gavin in here to make sure this row works. So, this side of the room kind of works, that side of the room, I don't know. This guy's doing great. This side, not so much. They all need a little love. Breakshot, Sharpshooter are fine. Jackpot's fine. Blackout's fine. Literally everything else is broken. But they came broken. I mean, it came to me busted. It's like a parking key to my bed. Oh my god, that's cute. I slept on a cot last night. That's just going to be a tab. Does this keep expanding or does it blow up? Oh, it's got any who it's like a little headrest. Perfect. There you go, buddy. I got beer, I got pinball, I got blowout mattress. And we're in a commercial district, so I can play pinball at 2 in the morning. Yeah, no one's going to give up. Internet. It's all about hospitality, okay? It's all about hospitality. New hotness, old and busted. Yep. Men in black. Yeah, new Hyman, old and busted. New Hyman, old and busted. What's that? That's the autopilot. It's so good. You know, I got pulled over. I didn't like it. What a classic, classic building. Perfect. Fill it up. That works. We're good. What'd you get? You don't have to make my bed. I can sleep in the old bed that I make. There you go, Ed. Beautiful! Just make sure we get off the stream. Oh, before you crash? Uh-huh. All right, this is now the Truman Show. I mean, did you watch the new one? I did not. Sleepover stream. Oh, like the international one? No, I didn't see that. I have not. No, I'm looking forward to it. It might be fun. Looks cozy? It's a freaking, it's like a king-size bed. Look at this thing. Look how big it is. It's so inflated. I've got to practice for when the wife gets me out of the bed. Pinball machine, damn it. Alright, Internet. What would you pay to sleep here? Overnight, access to all the games. I'd say about four hours of work. Four hours of work. Yeah, no shit. You did it. You still have a fridge full of beer. some leftover Thai food. I could even plug in the microwave so you can heat it up later if you want. I'm hoping I'm in a state where I can still plug in the microwave. It's just the cable's not long enough. So I gotta, we need one of these extended cables. Knock it Oh, there we go. Right off the gate, I got the G-target. Bruce Jamison Let's roll Warning I'm not paying attention to the internet, I'm sorry. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh! Dude, you were blowing it up. What the fuck were you doing? Just starting the second cyborg. The third. Cyborg's where the cash is. Cool. See. I'm going to go get the other one. See you. Is that coming back? Fuck you too, game. What's up, hi yourself. He had a couple of amazing saves, hell yeah. Hi. Hi. Oh, hey. Hi. Hi. Hi. What happened? I named my dog after him. He was chewing on his hands. So lit. She's good, but was asking... Wait. Do you have a sec to talk to Charlie before bed? She had an accident and was super sad. Aww. Carl. YouTube llamas with hats. Got it. Carl. I'm up. Yeah, I super shit the bed. Really? Yeah, but... I thought I had enough time. Bro, I drained before you even shut that door. Well, I was draining while I was in there. Oh. You notice the spinner has optional slam fills on it? I see it, it looks great. Optional slam fill. Let's roll. So every time you complete the drop targets, you qualify one time for the start the mode scoop. So it saves that. So if you complete it like 10 times, you can just keep hitting that to start a mode. I didn't want it to be like you complete it and you have to wait until you need it again. Because, you know, you're locking people out of the mode. Oh, there we go. Shoot. Section 9. And a touch. Colo ramp. Oh. Oh. Okay. You're gassed by the speed. This is it. This is the comeback here, folks. We're at quite the deficit. Quite the point deficit. C. C-R. C-R-Y. C-R-Y-B. O. O. Why don't you dive in? Dive in, buddy. later say alright WTR have a good night people ah getting text messages we good Holy moly! There's G. Oh nice! Y-O. We're gonna need C and B. And now I need B, and then we're just gonna smash the spinner all day. I'm going to have to spin her all day. Oh, no! Oh, no! Let's roll. Oh, my God. If you guys are wondering, there's the P-Rock software, then you've got Skeleton Games and MPF. Those are on top of that. What does the framework do? It handles all the ball. It handles play-to-play. It handles the score. It handles really fun stuff like that audio in Skeleton SG. All you do is you name five files the same call-out, and you just call that call-out, and it's going to randomly pick them. Oh, that's great. So if I wanted to add ten different clips to that, Carl, hands, whatever. Give them all the same thing, throw them on there? Yeah, give them all the same name in the YAML file, and I can add more. So I can switch back and forth, which is pretty cool. Hey, I actually won one. I'm not going to keep going. I'm not going to, like, you know, just drain it because I can. All right. Oh, babies, internet. Go have some babies when you get back to me. Let's roll. Oh, wild. Oh. All you have to see. Oh, that's a deep. Oh, God. It's this one. Isn't it? Oh! Oh! Still a good score. Yeah, absolutely, man. 70? What the hell did you hit? It's a lot of Carl and Biddy's. None ramps made. Oh. No, I didn't make it. Damn it. None ramps. Well, internet, we're going to call it there. It's 944. We've been streaming for about eight or nine hours. Oh, another nine-hour stream? No big deal. No big deal. Yeah, we do that in our sleep. Big shout out to Ed for coming to help wire everything together. I hope you all enjoyed the Ghost in the Shell game. We, like, tore this thing apart. It was dope. Bitties, bitties. Mac 666, dude. Mark, have a good night, bud. Have a wonderful evening. Next time you see our game, we're going to be programming for it. But, yeah, I don't know what we're doing tomorrow. Oh, I'm having a doctor look at my scrotum. All right, have a good night. You mean touch me inappropriately. All right. Thank you, guys. Thank you for all the kind words. Love you guys. If you go on, check him out. Look up Pinball Mayhem on YouTube. And you can follow along with what's going on. Okay? Goodbye. Hold on. We're not off the air. Don't say anything gross.
