We have a massive snowstorm, by the way. We had at least 10 inches by the time Ty got here. So, there's a chance that we're going to lose internet again. Just saying it. That sucks. I'd lose all of those multipliers I'd worked up. Yep. Now what do you do? That is a really good question. I've already done both... Right? I just lit TV, so I can do that. No, I did not tilt. I started up Mr. Freeze, so doing it all over again. You get a 415 million bonus. That wasn't bad. There we go. So now we're going to start up Mr. Freeze and see if we can just pump up these numbers. These are rookie numbers, guys. I was hitting the right shots going, I don't understand how to do this mode. There's more shots appearing. Do you want that switch? The switch? if you hold the center button it'll switch to the other mode hold it okay got it showing mr freeze right yeah uh i guess let's continue we're doing all the modes over again that was a nice little bounce up there okay so I need to hold do you want to be on river or miss the freeze yeah yeah now you just need that blue shot and Oh, no. Oh, it looks like it's the right orbit. Damn it. Got it. that's not good it timed out it timed out? crap do I save my progress? I don't know I think you did for season 3 So I think it is safe. Okay. So I just need to read. I need one more television and I can get back in there.

Just understand the super complex stuff with it. Got it? I don't think it saved it. But I did get the 2x on that. There's no red shot, so... That's interesting. Maybe it did save it. There's the lock. Okay, all timers are good now, right? Huh. Yep, it's not moving. It's like it looks. That's pretty cool. here we go right orbit for a multiball got it all right all right we're cool we're cool cool cool cool cool no doubt no doubt no doubt we're doing things in this game I think I got at least one of them in there for the add-a-ball.

Apparently the first part of the wizard mode is like the time ball thing. Okay. That, that looks like, it's like a brain. Yeah, oh, interesting, okay. All right, here we go. Hitting the gadgets, but let's bring in a TV villain. Better hurry up. Oh, my God, the hurry up is still running for the 2X. All right, let's bring a multiball into this mode, shall we? Yeah, that's about as good as it is. See, now you've entered the ridiculous phase, right? Right, right. Let's see if we can break a trillion, people. And...
