Thank you very much. Thank you. I am Mrs. Nesbitt. Welcome, you guys. My name is George. This show is Don't Panic Flip. Hopefully, y'all can hear me okay. I have the fan also on in the background. It's a little bit louder than normal because I turned it up. Hopefully, that is not a problem. Okay, great. Sound good.
5:20
Guys, this is Don't Panic Flip, and tonight I've been challenged by... Bye-bye. Jedi McMuffin, thank you very much for that raid. My hat's off to you. Also, the camera is a little low, sorry, a little high on purpose. And I'll show you guys here in a minute. I have a slightly different layout for tonight, so that way you guys can help keep track of the tilt bob. In fact, I'll just switch over. You guys, here is the stream this evening. Have that beautiful tilt bob right there. Kind of refactored things a little bit. playing around with the layout some, but now it makes sense why there was this huge gap there. But it's MegaRaid, sir. She's gone from stuck to slow, right? Straight from Chicago. Here comes that wonderful tilt-bob signal. Doesn't matter that I can shake the top. Like, the one camera seems to match the other, but that's obviously not important. So, without further ado, the first thing I need to do because I'm way more nervous about playing on my pinball machine in my own house by myself, having to actually keep track of the values. I'm way more nervous than I should be. So we're going to crack a beer. This is the Homer Berry White Stout. This is from Station 26 Brewing Company. Where are they located? It doesn't say, but I feel like they're local. I wonder if these are the guys that are in Greeley right across the street. Oh, there it is. Denver, apparently. Station 26. So this is a Homer Berry White Stout made with Blackberry's Vanilla Lactose in collaboration with Berkeley Donuts. And you'll see there the like 16-bit version of Homer's Donut. Zmax says, I'm ready for you to destroy me. Gotta say, overall, I think of going in with really, really low expectations. Even your awful scores, as you put it, awful, are better, especially the speedruns. I, in testing, was only ever able to beat you once in any of the speedruns. So, we're just, just that, just that expectation's really, really low for tonight. But, here. Yeah, man, go ahead. Well, actually, you can't post the link. That's the thing is anyone who has access to the link can edit it. So, uh, so don't post the link. Uh, I don't know how else to do it right now. I'll just, I'll say what your scores are when we actually come up to it and I'll go through. So we have seven different challenges. The first one is high score. Uh, the second one is a speed run at the, uh, speed run. You can start any, we came, we saw the third one is a start storage facility, multi-ball. Once again, and that's a speed run. The fourth one is, Are You a God? The minigame. It's just high score in the minigame. The fifth one is, Your Highest Score in One Ball. So that's it. That includes the bonus, but it's just one ball, no extra balls there.

    Most Modes Completed is the sixth challenge. And the seventh challenge and final is, like competition scoring, no extra balls, high score, all three balls. So those are the seven different challenges.
    8:55
    ZMAC, yeah, you can go ahead and put it up on the Discord. Honestly, if somebody's gonna, hopefully nobody messes with it. We're trusting the internet here to not troll us.
    9:06
    T-shirt flex, who just redeemed that? Fliptronic, yes! That is awesome. Excel, please, and Fliptronic, I think I already have your address, so we'll just send you out two things.
    9:20
    That is awesome. Yes, I'm loving all of the 25,000 points redeemed flexes, by the way. So, A, that's cool for multiple reasons. One, I like getting rid of these shirts. Two, it means that you don't have 25,000 points for the next drinking stream to get everybody ridiculously intoxicated. So I am, I'm very excited to see people using those t-shirt flexes. I'm going to take a sip of this really quick. Wow. That is interesting. I just brushed my teeth here. Here's the, here's an interesting one. Does anybody else before they stream? And there's a lot of other streamers on right now. We've got flip tronic, the pin Somniac Jedi McMuffin who rated us earlier. Um, and who else do we got here? I think that's it for now, but I do think there's a couple people who will be streaming soon. Um, but, uh, butt cheek flipper just redeemed a pull-up. I will go take care of that in a moment, but does anybody else who streams, do you brush your teeth beforehand? Because I feel like I end up talking so much that, uh, that I just want to make sure that my mouth is minty fresh for everybody, even though I know you're not here. Like, in my mind, I know that there's nobody here, yet there is this sense of community that feels so, uh, so, I wouldn't say tactile, that's not the right word, but you guys feel like close, like we're all just chilling here talking, so much to the point where I will brush my teeth before every stream. So, Fliptronic says nope. Uh, Pinsomniac says nope. I talk differently after brushing, because social, and it's a good chance I've eaten tacos any day that I do hit the bathroom and check my teeth for random cilantro. Okay, okay. So anyway, the first few steps I feel like are tainted by toothpaste. So we'll keep going here. Nice color, DMD, butchie. Thank you, and welcome to the stream. All right, really quick. Pull up. I'm going to take care of that. All right. One pull-up done. Also, I totally do. I thought I was weird. Oh, cool. Okay, so it wasn't just that it changes how you talk. You do, and you thought, I'm very happy. ZMAC, yeah, the color DMV on this game, it sometimes feels like the Color DMDs are changing, change the game drastically in every game. But specifically Ghostbusters, I feel like benefits from it. There's so much color. And the software that Color DMD use, there's a lot of pinks and purples. And it's just so, so bright. I absolutely love it. And is awesome. Awesome. Right? That was the New Zealand version of the word awesome.
    12:26
    Okay, cool. So, that's right. I'm not sure. Jive, welcome to the stream. I love that. Hats off. The emote, the picture. In fact, I can't wait to send out more T-shirts, which is great. I get to send Fliptronic a, I'm assuming, actually, with the XL, that's going to, is that an XL in men's or women's? Fliptronic.
    12:51
    And this is going to be a good competition. It's going to be a competition. Let's not make this any more than it really is. Men's, okay.
    13:03
    So here we go. A few warm-up games. And by a few, yeah. Now, here's the deal, by the way. Becca is definitely not XL. You know, I would not have said that, but I don't want to be, it's not even being judgy. I just, like, on the camera, you don't realize it. Like, you probably, I don't know, maybe I do, like, I'm a pretty heavy person. But anyway, yeah, cameras make it difficult to judge the size of people. So in general, regardless of the person I'm talking to, I try not to make any assumptions about, like, t-shirt sizes or anything, because that's just asking for trouble.
    13:52
    So, ZMAC, if, oh no, I was going to say if I end up playing too well, which obviously as you see here, that's probably not going to happen, but I left the purchase of one shot available. So it's just the one, and if you want to set me back one notch, you are, I think you specifically, I couldn't make it just you, but it's you specifically, in the off chance you either want to improve or make my game worse, you're welcome to utilize that. I'm guessing 4-3, don't panic flip.
    14:33
    Let's see here. Men's, Becca, definitely not XL. we're going lefty here, or one-handed. It's going to come down to the last one. We're going in order. Yes, definitely going in order.
    14:54
    I, you know, and that was, I mentioned to Z-Mac, he could do it any way he wanted to, but I guess I put it together in a way that I thought made sense order-wise.
    15:06
    All right, we found that shot. So, I guess let's take a second. That's the shot I want to find there. That's a tough one. Let's find the captive ball over there.
    15:26
    God, that is such a dangerous shot, that captive ball. I feel like a major percentage of the time results in a complete failure.
    15:35
    ZMAC says I will definitely use that. Okay. and that three ball score was rough. Where is the drink? I don't see it. Oh, I haven't poured the shot yet. So if you end up buying the shot, I'll go in there and it will probably be Aviator Gin. And then I'm just drinking a beer right now because it's a social lubricant.
    16:00
    And the new phrase that I am not allowed to say is, here we go. Apparently. I repeat that phrase. And there was this cool movie in the 90s that, actually, by cool, it was awful. And if you guys remember, I have a thing about, you know, what's a great movie versus an enjoyable movie? Well, this movie was bad in general, but it had, it was a horror movie, and it was about machines that were trying to kill humans, and they did it by mimicking humans. and the way that you could tell that it was a robot was because it repeated certain phrases. And that's like the robot's programming getting messed up.
    16:47
    So for whatever reason, I became immediately, because I saw it way too young, like I probably saw that at eight or nine years old, and it was really, really graphic and bad, but I associate repeating phrases then with identifying as a non-human.
    17:08
    So when, what's his name? When Faye mentioned that Lana, his wife, caught on to the fact that I was repeating the phrase, all right, let's go, or let's do this, let's get going, or let's get this started. Some sort of a phrase to, okay, let's do this thing. I, well, anyway, so what I did was, A, identified that, and B, I started picking up with Jessica last night all the other similar phrases I could start rotating out, so that way I'm no longer identified as an android that's trying to kill all of humanity. So, I will definitely use that. Where's the drink? No. Where's, oh, it's points. Okay, thanks, Pinsomniac. Weirdly, it's not showing. If you win, I demand a rematch on Star Trek. this time I'm going to pick the challenges okay, okay that's also, I think you got to enterprise the muck on day one that's also I feel like that means that things are going to go really well for me on that challenge regardless of winning who wins rather, I would be fine with a challenge on Star Trek alright, let's take a second here cool, cool, cool, cool Cool, cool, cool. No doubt, no doubt.
    18:38
    Yep, that is why you can see the tilt bob there. When does the real fight start? Pinsomniac? I'm thinking right around maybe 11 o'clock. We're going to chat. We're going to have fun. We're going to have a beer. We're going to calm down, try. and get okay at pinball for a bit, and then we'll go through and play seven games in a row, and those seven games will each represent one of the seven matches.
    19:04
    Hello, T-Rex Pinball! Welcome to the stream. Try Let Us Initiate Henceforth. Sounds much more natural, right? Yes. Let Us Initiate Henceforth.
    19:18
    All right, Let Us Initiate Henceforth. Rolls right off the tongue. I like it. there's my beautiful live catch. Obviously, that's what I wanted to do there.
    19:42
    Found it. Here we go. And left orbit. Actually, I want to let that drain. That's right, because this is the first mode, Time Saver, let it drain, full plunge, and grr, missed it by that much.
    20:10
    Found the live catch there. Oh, that was so close. There it is. Okay, now we're in back off. Man, this is just practicing for that mode, because this is the one that I feel I'm going to struggle with the most.
    20:29
    Here we go, the right thingy. There it is. All right, now we're going to go to the left thingy. Now we're going to catch this, and we're going to go there. and now we're going to go there, which we don't want to do because it's storage facility. That's going to take a while. Last one. Missed it by that much. Here we go. There it is. So that, oh crap. Then we have to finish this mode super quick and take one shot on the left ramp. Oh my, It says, give me the ball! Give me the ball!
    21:12
    There it is. So that would have been one of the, I feel like, the more difficult ones. Pink Ninja Man, welcome to the screen.
    21:25
    What just happened? Let's just tap it. Here we go. We're fine. We're all fine here. Shout out to Pink Ninja Man. We've got... Thanks for the flip stream. Flip stream! Subscribe to Editeer 3! Flip stream! Caviel! B, you're the man. Thank you. You're amazing! That's me. you're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation with the old school hype icon I absolutely love it my resub notice dude you're amazing so the pro doesn't have the magnetic slings brown recluse it does not I feel like it makes the game much much more reliable in general I feel like the pro shoots so much better than the premium very nice at this point we're kind of just playing for fun and playing Ghostbusters just reminds me of how much I need to re-watch the movie Z-Mac, it's funny my daughter was asking all kinds of questions today about like well what's up with the big poofy guy back there and I'm like well he's the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and he's kind of the bad guy. And she's like, well, what makes him the bad guy? I'm like, you know, I don't feel like you are old enough to even ask that question. When you are old enough, you'll get to watch the movie.
    23:29
    which I'm excited about, mind you. Like, I am genuinely excited for this. Uh-oh. Extra ball is lit. We're in storage facility. We are not in a mode. That is unfortunate.
    23:59
    Yeah, I think at this point we're just going to be patient. There we go. Just trying to hit the multipliers.
    24:29
    All right, so we've got our 3x running. We have an add-a-ball right there. We've got our 3x with the super jackpot lit.
    24:46
    Air defense. It was really trying there. and I just kind of let that die. Who needs those? I think we're in looping supers now, or as MPT3K likes to say, looping stupid. Are we still in our 3x? We are. Crap, I was trying to hit the thingy again. Light playfield multipliers. There it is.
    25:23
    Really? Really? I missed that shot. I hit the left orbit on the fly. When is that even normally possible?
    25:37
    There we go. Lupin's super is number two. Lost our 3x. I hit the two. Another lupin's super. I think we re... No! I just hit it again. We relit our 3x. That would have been fun. Okay, after I put up five bill and a premium, them. I started to like it more. I completely get that. It's fine. I just find myself gravitating to the other game. I was so disappointed when they did the anniversary showing off the first Ghostbusters movie in the theater. It was us, our neighbors we went with, and two other people in the entire room. Really? Oh, man. I would have assumed that that would have been packed. Here we go, man. We are just spreading the love over the entire table.
    26:36
    And I kept telling myself it was because it wasn't well advertised. What do we got here? I sure hope so. I would have been there. Molly Hatchet, welcome to the stream. and good evening to you.
    26:56
    A nudge would have been good there. Appropriate even. I think we have yet another shoot again. All the way around.
    27:11
    There we go. Start that mode. He's flying me. And a greetings, a greetings program. That will make sense if you were here earlier.
    27:31
    There we go. Number two. And we just started our 2X, which is great, and we have lit 3X. That was an overreaction. I think that's a panic flip by definition.
    27:51
    Crap. Come on. Going to run out of time on this mode here. There it is. 3x. Got that one. And not what I'm trying to do, trying to hit the left orbit. Now the mode ended, and we need to hit ghost.
    28:17
    How many shoot-agents do we have? Is that light accidentally stuck on? Is anybody else seeing this? Here we go. Left. That'll work.
    28:47
    I don't know what that is. That was, if there's walking the plank, that was jumping off the diving board, I guess.
    28:56
    Molly Hatchet. Oh, so what are you drinking this evening? This is Homer Berry White Stout, made with blackberries, vanilla, and lactose in collaboration with Berkeley Donuts. This is a reference to The Simpsons, and it's from Station 26 Brewing out of Denver, Colorado. Very tasty. It's on the lighter side. I'm Lord Howard Hex. Lord Howard Hex, welcome to the stream.
    29:26
    Since it's falsing, it's definitely not stuck. Wow, so many typos. I had to read that like that, sorry.
    29:40
    Let's see here, slow down, would you? I propose next shot will start a scene for my new drinking motto. Okay.
    29:50
    Also, what was the phrase earlier that I'm supposed to use in place of, and here we go. Oh, you know what? I've got one. And away we go. Boom. Done. There's one. Also, you guys will notice, I didn't have time to set up something really cool on the stream.
    30:21
    Really? There we go. So we're just going to do stopwatch. We're going to do it kind of like that, where you guys just pretend it's a part of the stream and I'm really cool, but instead it's just my phone at the bottom right corner of the play field. Are we all good with that? Is that okay?
    30:42
    ZMAC, how do I get an automatic call out like Lord Howard Hurts? ZMAC, hit me up on Discord. And if you have a particular four to maybe seven second audio file that you want used, send that to me as well in MP3 format and I'll get you in there. A little higher still can see your cell number Right Let just a little bit No I don think so It doesn actually show up there Okay You find one Okay cool And let us initiate henceforth Forthwith Like, let us all have, let us have waffles forthwith.
    31:30
    That's from a movie, and I don't remember the name of it right now. Got it. That is a really tough shot.
    31:51
    All right, all right. I mean, making the shots... I'm like, where are you seeing it? You are naming actual numbers from my phone. I just don't see how you're seeing my number.
    32:14
    Seriously. I can see George's provider. Yep. There's that one. All right, Moe Dunzo. Next one.
    32:42
    There's that shot. He's... Oh, no. Here we go, backhand that little guy. Oh no. I'm not fast. There's that, and we've got our 3x lit. Hopefully a more solid provider than Comcast. I wish. You guys can see, oh my gosh, and I tilted. There we go. You guys can see the tilt bob. It is real. How did you get in here? There's a big moth in here. All right. I think it's Sprint. Could be wrong, though. Test Bishop, welcome to the stream. So we are, if you're just joining us, we're in a challenge match with ZMack, who's on the stream here. ZMack already put up some pretty dang good scores. If you're on the Discord, you can go check that out. Please don't make changes to the Excel document, because the only, I can't, I couldn't create multiple links like one read-only and one that had right access. It was once you switch to if you have the link, you have access. I don't know, Google Sheets, I must need a business account or something to do something better. There we go, mode number two on that one. What the? Elaborate. I put up some pretty mediocre scores. That's what ZMAX does. But getting to a mini wizard mode in a minute 57, I think, or 47 maybe, that was ridiculous.
    34:37
    So by mediocre, maybe that's mediocre for him, which is fine. Which is fine. ZMack is a really good pinball player. I, on the other hand, definitely, in fact, I think that is the motto of the stream. Let's celebrate mediocrity together. That's where I stand. That's this. That's this whole area here. I can't actually change anything. ZMAC gave me some HTML view. That's all I see at the table. Okay, cool.
    35:12
    ZMAC coming up with the goods. Cool. Building up the super jackpot. Obviously the way to make big, big points. We've got our extra ball.
    35:33
    And storage facility. You can see that there. By the way, that is the picture of my daughter right there, which of course just went dark as I said that.
    35:55
    There we go. One of my favorite pictures I've taken. And, okay, shirt link to Discord. Please don't change my score. Just, like, take a screenshot or something first.
    36:19
    We're cool. And storage facility? There it is. Finished off Spook Librarian. and let's start the ballroom and, I think, a multiball.
    37:06
    All right. Let's actually try to hit some shots, shall we? Okay. Let's hit that hardest shot. Totally, totally got it. Hey, we got it.
    37:47
    That's fine. Did we finish ballroom? What do we got to hit here? Oh, we got to hit. What's his phase?
    38:01
    We got the super and... Wow, timing that is actually kind of interesting because he moves up and down.
    38:21
    There it is. Oh, did it? No, that didn't work. Fine. That's fine. We're all fine here. Never mind. Took a screenshot. You're welcome to change. No, no, no, no, no, no. We're fine. Let's not. I was going to add a couple zeros, but okay. Let's change. As long as it's not a time change, you're more than welcome to, says Z-Mac. And Butchie Clipper, I can be a technical director if you need to run two streams on one Twitch feed. Good to know, Butchie. And Slimer, yeah, that's eventually figured it out. He's moving up and down. It's not going to give it to us, it looks like. It's not going to make it easy. Now that we've slowed things down, let's wait for it. He's coming down. We got him. There's that. And we hit that shot. It was lit blue. Looks like we've got one more shot, which is the right orbit.
    39:21
    Oh, no. Nice and easy here. We're hitting that shot. There it is. And now we're ready for our first mini wizard mode. obviously this is a little over the 147 mark or whatever that is all right here we go left ramp all right i mean i'm starting to feel slightly warmed up
    40:08
    All right, this should be interesting here. We've got two balls stuck in the scoop. Let's see if it's strong enough to kick it out. All right.
    40:35
    Get there. All right, so that was an edible, I think an extra ball. That's fine. We're just going to let all of those drain. Give me them all back.
    41:08
    All right. Check her out. All right. Now we're up for back off, man, with Tobin's spirit guide. We have a danger. We did not want to tilt out of that. I imagine that's going to be an okay bonus.
    41:38
    Did we lose the light in the... Hold on. Apparently the light needs power. One sec here, guys. Where was this? I think this is over here.
    42:08
    And then we can get power from over here. We're going to do the thing. This is fine. All right, mountain time. Mutant ninja time? Sorry. Did someone say mutant ninjas? Don't know about the color DMD on this. The anti-aliasing is a little much.
    42:27
    Oh, man. I personally love it. What? I've been saying it. Wait. That's MDT. Mountain Daylight Time or Mountain Standard Yeah, that's why I usually say MT for just Mountain Time And This is going to have to go here You know what the difference is between you and me?
    42:57
    I'll make this real quick MT3K is here Okay, that was fun Mountain Dew Time? If only If I have a Mountain Dew right now I literally won't be able to sleep I'll just have to work through tomorrow very, very tired.
    43:12
    Oh, no. And, of course, I hit that. So now that's got to go like that. There we go. Let me just jam that in there. It doesn't actually close with all the cables in it, unfortunately.
    43:32
    MPT3K, you can turn the AA off if you like. Don't panic. It probably knows this. You can turn the double A off. I don't know what that means.
    43:42
    The color is the best ever. Thank you, Buttcheek. I completely agree. Okay, hold on. Oh, the anti-aliasing. I don't actually know what that means. Can somebody describe what anti-aliasing is? Because I don't see any issues with this. I feel like this color DMD right there looks amazing.
    44:07
    it's all the blocks blurring to, oh yeah, there's like five different settings. I could do old school DMD. I can do like 16 bit. I can do like kind of cleaned up, but not quite. And then I have this mode here, which is like the, the, the best mode, I guess I would argue is the best looking mode, but, but I can set those. And if you go to color DMD's website, you can see, I think the four different settings as opposed to separate dots. Got you. So mean filtering is a simple method of smoothing and diminishing. I feel like you need to say this in, uh, in the, the guy who, uh, he is, uh, English and he goes out and does all those, uh, the animal videos. I can't think of his name right now, but you have to say it in a very, uh, thick whispering, uh, like, uh, English accent, Richard something, factual tones. Standard, large dots, square, the anti-aliased, and one other, I think. Okay, so five different types. And the idea of mean filtering is to replace each pixel value in the image with the mean or average value of its neighbors, including itself.
    45:19
    All right. Let's see, I guess, during this warm-up section for this evening, if we can start a, I don't know, like seventh mode? One, two, three, four, five, six. Yep, so this will be number seven.
    45:33
    Either you or Jedi McMuffin have to help me do a direct capture of an LCD screen, please. A direct capture of an LCD. Please.
    45:46
    MPT3K, you're the guy who sent me the stuff so I could do it. I mean, yes, Richard Attenborough. That is exactly who I was thinking. No, I think his brother, David Attenborough. Or is it Sir Richard? Okay, Richard is David Attenborough's brother, who was in Jurassic Park, as Flipstream is pointing out, but I meant David Attenborough.
    46:14
    Because I often get those messed up. All right, we've got 15 minutes until 11. then we're going to go maybe, let's go one more game, and we're going to try and get to, we're going to try the speed run. I feel like that is, that's what I want to focus on right now is the speed run. And then after that, we'll do a quick TPN break. I will get a new beer because I'm almost done with this one, and then we will start the evening's festivities.
    46:42
    And let us initiate this henceforth. I think that was it. I may have modified it. Do you have the LVDS to HDMI converter yet? Flipstream, yeah. I have all the stuff. I just forgot how to set it up. In that case, one of us just needs to send you pictures of how to plug it in. Because that's funny. MPT3K, you helped me set it up the first time with pictures. And then you just helped me kind of figure it out. But I didn't have any of that the second time. So I just had to brute force it. It took me about 16 tries to figure out where the alignment needed to be on all the connections.
    47:31
    Probably should have nudged really hard forward. There we go. Buffalo pinball. Nice. There's the information from Buffalo. You know what's funny is I completely spaced that we were doing the speed run.
    47:52
    Here we go. One shot. Oh, that's right. I'm an idiot. I'm supposed to let this drain. Here we go. End that mode. Full plunge. Grab it.
    48:08
    Wow, that was so bad. And we jumped off the diving board just then. This is going great, guys. I have a really good feeling about this speed run. Okay, so we're going to try that one. That was a speed... That wasn't even a run. That was a speed stumble. We'll give it a second one.
    48:35
    Found the shot. Now's not the time. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. That's obviously what we needed just then.
    48:54
    I have hit you twice, game. I feel like you're unnecessarily making this harder. And from downtown. Got it. There's one. Two. Not going to get credit for that one.
    49:14
    There's two. Can't buy a bucket. I hit it a third time. Thank you, Flipstream. Okay, there it is. There it is.
    49:29
    Not what I wanted to do there. There we go. Started it. Now we're in Spook Librarian. We let it drain.
    49:38
    Replunge. we are done with number one alright game there we go we start the second now we actually have to complete this mode one that's not going to count I should have probably stopped that this is incredibly slow So...
    50:04
    All right, let's try this again, shall we? Got it. Looks like now we've got two more shots. Maybe three. I feel like the right flipper is about to come off. That's fine.
    50:28
    One. Not looking good for the whole speedrun portion of the speedrun evening. All right, last shot. There it is. So that mode is done.
    50:53
    And our first wizard mode in probably just under 10 minutes, if anybody else was actually keeping track there. By the way, I'm picking out my sound now.
    51:04
    It probably should be something about winning a challenge. Wow, the game was really nice just then, and it gave me that back.
    51:46
    Yeah, that was not a great score. all right speed qwop you're awesome by the way i'm picking okay cool i am all caught up on chat there's that shot so the next thing we've got to make sure that we can hit is the what is it called the the captive ball for a storage facility That mode is done. All right, so question, don't panic, Cliff. Is it okay if the word H, oh, hell, is in my sound? Yeah, that's fine.
    52:48
    There it is. So we got, I got to say, ESP, oh, crap, I took the 10 million. in. I was just about to say, I always make more money on that. I feel like I rarely ever don't win. And, nice. Oh no. Uh, what are we going for here? So we've already completed that. We've got Tobin's spirit guide. I guess let's grab Tobin. I believe we're there. Obviously, we are very ready. Oh, I've still got another ball. Hold on. Don't tilt. All right, we're good. Hill? Hill, you're good. That should be fine too. Like what the hill? Okay, so while in this mode, we want to get our multipliers. And I think I just heard Faye. I don't think I have hit the multipliers even. Oh, we did hit one, but we did get two extra balls.
    54:32
    All right, we're going to light play field multipliers. Trying to hit that 3x. Got it. I'm fairly certain I got it.
    54:55
    I got it that time. There's no question. And we're still in our mode, which we obviously did an awful job of completing while we were in that.
    55:12
    Left ramp. All right, so now we've got to hit Slimer. Here we go. There's the tilt. There we go. And shoot again. And there we go.
    55:31
    We may have moved that pinball machine a little bit more than originally intended. That was a solid move. Yep, yep. Yep.
    55:49
    We want to hit playfield multipliers here. All right, I mean, at least something's happening. Watching How I Met Your Mother with Mrs. Faye. Faye, I hope you're having a wonderful night. Thank you so much for stopping by. Thank you.
    56:17
    And I think we just started ballroom. Ooh. That's getting your money's worth on that tilt. I know. You guys can actually see the tilt log now.
    56:57
    Wow, that was worth 23 million? I take it that was a skill shot. There we go. Working up that super jackpot there. You should all entrance song audio clips.
    57:19
    You should sell entrance song audio clips. Could be fun. Eh. I've already done, I swear, There's probably about 20 at this point. So, eh, it doesn't bother me. You guys, we're going to take a quick break. I'm going to go get a new beer, and when I come back, we're going to tackle tonight's IFPA challenge against ZMAC, who is currently in chat. Be right back here in just a minute.
    57:56
    Thank you. All right, guys. What do we got coming up on the schedule? We've got Fliptronic tomorrow evening from 7.30 to 10, and that is in Mountain Time.
    59:27
    Mystery Pinball Feeder after Fliptronic. And then me ending the night really, really late, as usual, 10 to 12. We've got Wednesday, What the Flip, from 2 to 4. Wednesday afterwards, we've got One iPod, One Pinball. And then Wednesday evening, we've got Straight Down the Middle as well with Chuck Wirt, a.k.a., I think, Eric. So, here we go. I know that the camera looks like it's really over my head. It is, but there's a reason for that if you're just joining us, and we'll show you here in just a second. So, tonight is a challenge match. IFPA sanctioned, I don't know, sanctioned, whatever the right word is, but it's an IFPA ICR, ICS, ICB. It's a three-letter acronym. It's a challenge, and me versus ZMAC. ZMAC played this, I think, on Friday last week and put up some really good scores. He's going to say that they were mediocre, but they're amazing. And we're just going to play through the list here really quick. All the acronyms challenge, exactly. And here's what we're playing. It's seven matches. The first one is high score, and this is just standard, everything that's essentially factory default settings, so that's with extra balls turned on. I've got to beat roughly 2.6 billion. Next one, the next game, so this is match number two, is a speed run. And it's start any We Came, We Saw mini-wizard mode. And if we both happen to do it in exactly the same seconds and milliseconds, it would then also be based on high score. And I have to beat 157, which I think is ridiculous, by the way. That was very well played, Zach. The third match is yet another speed run, and it's a speed run to Storage Facility Multivol. which Zach did in a minute 45. That's great. And then high score, we're going to do the Are You a God? So this is the fourth match is Are You a God, the mini game. And Zach put up 129. So I think that's the only one I really have a chance at winning so far.
    61:35
    Then we've got another high score game, but it is just one ball. That's it. One ball, no extra balls, no anything. What's your high score? And Zach put up 266. That's not bad. That is not bad at all. So, that one I'm not sure. Most modes completed.
    61:52
    And then if you tied on modes, it comes down to high score, and this is the standard game. And Zach put up two, so there's the second one I think I might be able to win. And then finally, it's high score competition style mode. No extra balls just three balls and Zach put up 162 on that one So my guess is it going to be Zach 4 George 3 if I had to guess But I need to minimize this now We going to start up this first game I going to switch back over here. Let's align everything up. Yep, modes stuck for me. And three ball high score, yeah. Here we go. I feel like we should have music on at this point. Yeah, we're at the hour mark. Let's do it. Hold on. What song is this? Hold on. I don't know what this is. Okay, second here. We've got to figure out the whole music situation. All right, so we're on the right Wi-Fi. We can jump on Sonos.
    63:18
    What are we thinking? Are we thinking 80s? Are we thinking 90s? or are we thinking, I don't know, disco funk? Future funk?
    63:36
    Early hip-hop? Music where people talk instead of sing? What else do we have? We have Rocky Like a Hurricane, an Incubus mix.
    63:48
    Slow It Down, we have weird music now. mainstream jazz buttcheek flipper is thinking DMCA free, Stanton Moore I don't know Galactic or Stanton Moore I don't even have a mainstream jazz flipstream says Scott Bebop, okay you guys are great um we're going with apparently we're going with 90s Electro Swing, says Lord Howard Hurts. Yes! Ska! There is no ska, unfortunately, on this soundtrack. Here we go. First game.
    64:35
    Are we lined up? We are lined up. So this is high score, everything counts kind of a thing. All right, modes. We've just started our first theme. We're going, okay, who brought the dog?
    65:03
    There's one. Now we're going right orbit. Uh, we need one more shot over here. Left orbit. Got it. Alright, so first mode is done.
    65:27
    And I guess let's go... Oh no. Let's go Spook Librarian. Alright, let's go Left Ramp. We got one. There it is.
    65:46
    Uh, left ramp. Pure retro, coming in hot with a raid. Hello, Mr. T. Ah, perfect timing, too. Okay. With a party of 11, pure retro, Dave and Alex, you're amazing. My hat's off to you. Welcome to the stream. We're doing some funkiness tonight. This is a challenge match. And you guys, if you're on here and you have not checked out Pure Retro Colorado, you definitely should. That is Alex the Green Dookie. Dave, one of the more amazing pinball players in northern Colorado, in all of Colorado in general. So if you guys have not checked out Pure Retro Colorado, you definitely should. Give them a follow. Just got second place, Speedrun Lifeforce Co-op, awesome! And Dr. Damien, welcome to the stream. So, what are we doing right now? Music business world, yes. But she's flipper, I am aware. I am completely aware. I just really like listening to good music.
    67:01
    And we're chanting it for right now. And I guess I can take down all of my saved videos and just kind of deal with it that way.
    67:20
    We had a shoot again. We should not have done that. There we go. So now we're in eSlime Me. Found that shot.
    67:39
    Found it again. One more, one more. There it is. Now we're ready for... There it is. There's that. We've got our multipliers lit. So we've got our 2x running, we've got storage facility lit.
    68:08
    Nice and easy. Oh, crap. That sucks. Why can I not find that shot? There we go. Oh, no. Wow, that is coming back yet again. And left out lane. We do have an extra ball lit, though. So if we focus on that, I have another beer. I just faced it. Yikes, with the Twitch DMCA takedowns, I would be careful with the copyright music. But rock on. Hey, we didn't do that. You did. Loving the new layouts is just another pinball. Thank you. And just another pinball. I feel like I saw you go online and stream earlier just a bit ago as well.
    69:07
    How was your stream? All right, so now I guess we're going all the way around. Start that mode. There we go. We got our extra ball.
    69:34
    And here we go. Storage facility. First shot. We've got storage facility lit again. Let's see if we can bring a multi-ball into this, because that would be amazeballs right now. I need a big score.
    70:02
    So we really want to get our multipliers going here. We've got another extra ball lit. There we go. We've got our 2x running.
    70:33
    I'm just letting that one go there. It was not worth it. There's the super while our 2x was running. I'm not sure what that was worth. Immediately $14 million. We are in the third mode, which is ballroom.
    70:59
    We've got, I think, two extra balls here. So I'm not feeling awful, but it's just not going great yet.
    71:09
    Here we go. Just going to let that one go because who needs that, right? That's just bad pony owning.
    71:25
    There's that guy. See if we can hit that guy over there. That's good. We're going that shot apparently. Not what I wanted to do. here we go that shot, yeah there it is okay, so now I think we're in our first mini wizard mode which is we came, we saw so once again we want to hit our multipliers just like that. And let's do that again.
    72:19
    There it is. So we've got our 2x lit, but we haven't started it yet. We've got... Wow. There we go. We started our 2x. We've got our 3x lit I think I may have just Yes, we just started it We've got an add-a-ball We're adding some more time That sucks And I think now We're in Lupin Supers Lupin Stupid As MPT3K likes to call it But I think we've got our six-sacks running. Let's see if we can do this. Yeah.
    73:37
    Here we go. A lot of supers here. Yeah, let's just do this all night. Right there. Liking it. There's six.
    73:50
    Woo! Pez Johnson, raiding with a party of two. You, sir, my hat's off to you. Thank you so much. And you guys, I don't know what score I'm at here, but I've got to be 2.5 billion where I'm ball three.
    74:14
    Oh, God. Pez Johnson, by the way, you guys, Pez Johnson is a wonderful person. Super cool. If you guys have not checked out Pez Johnson's stream, stream's pinball. Does it really, really well. He and his wife, I feel like, are on there all the time now, several days a week. If you have not given Pez Johnson a follow, you absolutely should do so.
    74:36
    I know. That felt good. I felt like we had something going there. All right. Starting another mode. This is Goza the Gozarian.
    74:56
    Uh. Nope. And there was no shoot again there. How do I, why do I even, oh, it was the super jackpot champion. it. All right, last person was Pez. He. He. Oh, let's go this way. Pez, you're getting on here. 0-1 for 292. Bless America, man. Had it set up. That was the, that was the, that was the stitch. All right, so I'm writing it in there. That is anonymous. Wait, what was the score? Not that it really matters, but I just want to get it in there. 1-0-5-0.
    75:56
    What's up, game? Oh, wait, I think you lock it like that, right? 6-9-7-1-0-5-0-6-9-7-2-8-0. there we go. All right, next up, guys, is the speed run. Whew, this is going to be tough.
    76:21
    Let's see if we can do this here. All right, so I'm going to that. I'm going to stopwatch. Are we aligned? We are aligned well. We're going to take a sip of beer. You guys, how are you doing? I'm going to take a 10 second break here. Thank you, Z-Mac. So this is get to any wizard mode in one minute, 57 seconds or less. Everybody's doing well, I assume.
    76:54
    All right, I'm going to hit start and then I will hit the start button here, which you guys can now see, and then I'll plunge, okay? Here we go. There's one, there's two, apparently that is all we need. Let's see if we can get into Spook Librarian. Yes! Very quick. So Now I'm going to drain. Let this mode finish very quick. I'm going to speed it up. Full plunge.
    77:37
    Pass the ball. Got it. Right into back off, man. All right. So now we need to complete this mode. There's one shot.
    77:51
    Now we need to hit this shot over there. That is a really hard shot. Come on, we got this. We got this, guys.
    78:11
    Come on, one shot here. There it is. We're at a minute and ten seconds, guys. This is tough. Alright.
    78:23
    I'm taking it. Get there! No, no, no. Oh, my God. After that beautiful save. Up and around. There we go. Two more shots here.
    78:44
    140. Oh, my God. Oh my, we just got 149! Yes! That was the I have never done it that quick. Oh my god.
    79:05
    I didn't hit stop but that was 149 when I looked down. Woo! I was not I did not think that was going to happen. Oh man! Woo! 0-1, 49 and I didn't stop it so I'm just gonna say 50. Clipping now. Oh! That, it like switched to the mode, to the, to the we came we saw right as I hit it but I was still trying to complete what I thought was the last shot on that mode so that was that was luck ZMack that was complete luck all right cool here we go one and one I honestly I feel like like I I'm successful already at this point I got I got one win I could lose the rest very likely will but I'm okay with that I got at least a win in and that was that was really good I'm so happy with that.
    80:11
    Woo! Kind of shake it a little bit. All right, guys. So next one. Unknown Machine. Thank you. Unknown Machine, thank you very much for that follow. Guys, check out that new follower goal. That is number 921 of 1,000. Guys, we are already more than 20%. We are now 21% of the way to 1,000 from 900, and we just celebrated 900. yesterday afternoon. So, so excited. The 1,000 follower goal is going to be amazing. I am going to reach out to a lot of people to try and do some really fun giveaways. I don't know why I agreed to it, but I said I would wear a tank top. So, we're going to do something. It's going to be fun. Definitely a drinking stream. No question about it. So, we're going to have some people over. And whether or not it's a tournament, I don't know, but there will be ways to buy shots and get, hopefully, everybody here smashed, not just me, but very likely just me. That last was nasty. The following count works now? Was it caching? Flipstream. I just have to start it and restart it. I have to end it and recreate a new one before every stream. That's the only way to make it work. Pinsomniac, you are already invited to the 1,000 follower drinking stream.
    81:33
    All right. Next mode is speed run. Start storage facility multiball, and I have one minute, 45 seconds to do it.
    81:46
    Flipper Snapper, welcome to the stream. Tracy, I have been lurking on your streams. You guys, if you have not checked out Flipper Snapper, you need to do so. Tracy is, ah, Dice isn't here. Otherwise, I would quote Dice and have him say it, but it's like he says a barrel of laughs and a tub full of monkeys or something. He has a way of phrasing it that is way, way cooler than what I just said. Mine was just funny because I'm not great at remembering phrases or idioms or colloquial metaphors, which I think is the definition of idiom. But anyway, if you guys have not checked out Tracy at flippertwitch.tv slash flippersnapper, definitely do so. she is super fun. Okay. Silly, yeah. Will there be beer boots? I don't know about beer boots. I want in. I can drink root beer. Z-Mac. Let's talk. We'll talk. I feel like I end up hanging out with your dad way too much to not get his approval on that. But yes, in which case you could totally drink root beer. All right.
    82:58
    Sorry, what are we doing? Oh, start light storage facility. So there's a few different ways to light storage facility. One of them, why is storage facility already, oh, we're on ball three. We're cool. We're cool, guys.
    83:13
    Now we're on ball one. That may have been really easy to get to storage facility at that point. But no, not anymore. So, you can get, you can light storage facility, which is the left ramp, in the pops. You can also get awarded it, it seems like, randomly on the table. I don't know what it is. But you can also definitely get it from this, from the left captive vault.
    83:42
    Come to my stream if you want to see Tubpar Metallica Pro with a good dosage of doggy cam. Okay. And Flipper Snapper has a Metallica. It's worth watching. Absolutely. And on top of that, you stay subpar, but I feel like you just put up 500 million and got to within a few shots of end of the line, which is like, not a running gag per se, but I feel like every time I am in Tracy's stream, that's my very first question is whether or not she's made it to end of the line yet. All right. Light storage facility. Is there a way to light it this way? I don't know. Catch 10 ghosts. Start scene. Super jackpot. Start scene. Start PKE. I'm going to catch 10 ghosts. Bang. Coming in with a host. Let's do this, guys. Ah, crap. I didn't actually start the timer. I'm starting over. That is my bad.
    84:58
    It would help if I actually start the timer. Apparently, I do not do speedruns very often. That is my bad, guys. Catch 10 wouldn't get you there faster. Okay, so I will catch 10. I think I had already highlighted that. I swear, I'm not trying to cheat. I'm just an idiot. There's a big difference.
    85:18
    Alright, starting up again. We're going to go start, plunge. I did not choose anything. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.
    85:39
    Yep, this is going great. Okay. So we got our first storage facility locked. I absolutely was not paying attention there. All right, first ball drain. I get the feeling I'm not getting there on this one.
    86:29
    Missed it again. 109. We are, I'm fairly certain, not getting this one. Woo! There's that. Oh my god, go faster! Faster! Go fast! Wow, not at all what I wanted to have done. 130. Missed it by that much. 138. I missed it again. That needed to happen right there. 147. Nope. All right. So ZMAC has that one. Yep. All right. Next up, I'm going to thing not applicable. And then I put over here, so this one is DMACC, this is George, this is DMACC. Next up is the Are You a God minigame high score. George, one and two. And now for my crazy loose streak. Let's see what happens here.
    87:55
    I guess while we're in here we can fix this camera. Alright, why am I looking there? Adjustments, do you guys remember where this adjustment is?
    88:09
    Oh, right here. God mode. Cool, that was easy. We're on ball three here. We're going to do a quick restart. pretty sure that is an artificially created build bob. It's so not.
    88:38
    I don't even, oh wait, stop, reset, that was super helpful. I think that's, is that it for the speed runs? Yeah, there are no more speed runs.
    88:48
    So I can have my phone here. We're going to hit start. All right, guys. I don't remember what the score is, but launch ball to start. We are ready to believe you. I'm moving that over there. We are lined up. And let's do this.
    89:17
    Good start. Solid start. That's what I like to see. Wow, that is a lot of drain balls. Oh my god, are you kidding me right now?
    89:55
    Cool. Let's go ahead and write down that one. 10 million. Oh, with the bonus. Wait a second. I feel like that was a quadruple, a quadruple drain, maybe? 23, 5, 6, 8, 1, 7, G. 23, 5, 6, 8, 1, 7, 0. That one's definitely going to ZMAC. Cool, cool, cool, cool. All right, so now, wow, that's just the warm-up, yep. Cool. Oh, wait, I went the wrong one, so we need to go here. Normal, back out. We can close this sucker up again. Wow. Missed it by about 100 million. That was so bad. PizzaGuy92, coming in with a follow. PizzaGuy92, both welcome to the stream and my hats off to you. Thank you so much for that follow. Check that out. 922, we're getting that much closer to our 1,000 follower goal. Oh, man. Next up, so this is a, wait a second, this is a one ball, one ball, no extra balls, no anything. It is one ball high score. And I've got to beat 266,958. So 267 million. Let's do it.
    91:57
    All right, starting to see. We got a million. We're getting closer already. There we go. First shot.
    92:22
    Second shot. This has to go over there. No, it doesn't. Cool. Backhand it. And we've got the win on that mode.
    92:48
    Now where do we want to go? I guess we want to get into a multiball as soon as possible. I kind of want to go for Spook Librarian, but we can also go Spook Central. I guess let's go Spook Librarian.
    93:02
    God, I hate that shot. And we've hit Storage Facility. We do that Okay and nice I also have to do these challenges We love pinball Welcome to the stream Simon how are you Here we go There one That was one ball 31 million Z has it on that one. Whew! And what is 32, 841, 840. So this is going pretty well. 230 bonus, baby! Yeah, Uh-huh. Restarting. All right, so what is next mode? I think that is it, guys. Yep, ZMAC1. I'm going to play through the rest of these just in case, but Zach has definitely got it. So this next one was modes completed. There, yeah, there is a Google doc that documents all of this. So I guess let's start a scene. Congratulations. Zach, seriously, thank you so much for suggesting we do this and putting up with me coming up with really crazy things that we should do as opposed to just high score. And this was super fun.
    95:00
    All right, first mode done. Let's see if we can do another. I should not have done that. I feel like Hagrid saying I shouldn't have done that. I'll set up Star Trek for the next one. Okay, cool.
    95:20
    Here we go, left ramp. So the better way to have done that would have been to start all three of the easier modes. Instead, I went for the second level, and the modes each get progressively harder each time. There we go. And I'm trying to figure out how you only got two. I know. Now, I guess, ZMAC, did you only count modes that you actually completed as opposed to ones that it gives you?
    96:05
    Ow, that definitely tweaked the left arm there just a hair. Mode started. Okay, okay. Well, we've already got three.
    96:32
    And there's four. Yeah, I was almost positive, too. 2-4, George. All right. I'm just going to say 4 here. And the last one, it's 11-37, is high score, no extra balls. how tired are you George getting to be about that time do I seem do I look tired I felt like I went to the mirror before the stream and I had a conversation with myself I'm like damn George you're looking good today but you asking if I look really tired makes me think that that is not the case also I've never had a conversation with myself where I said George you're looking good you get the last one for sure. That's why I asked. You don't look tired. Okay, cool. Yeah, because I am, I'm not tired. I don't feel tired. I, I got my six hours of sleep last night. So I would think it was like six, six hours and 15 minutes. Okay, so this is three ball. I have to beat 162. I don't think I have ever put a game into whatever mode it is. Competition mode. Maybe it's the other direction? Game mode, normal. God mode, normal. Okay, so that's that allow scare no R-rated speech madness enable mode chaining this is all set to default left eject let's see your George stands in the mirror every day you are looking good and gosh darn it people like you I didn't know if anybody was going to catch that ghost caught extra ball I don't think it's there. Standard adjustments. Replay.
    99:00
    Special limit. Free game. It's got to be called like competition mode or something, right? Hold the left flipper before starting the game.
    99:11
    Or, wait, I think it's in general. Okay, that's where we are now. free play language custom message game restart is set to true competition mode got it all right here we go so i've got a beat it is 162 let's see if we can do this guys
    99:45
    First mode, look at that beautiful bonus. One million just for hitting that shot. All right, come on, we got this.
    100:05
    There's that. Here we go. and the last shot got it alright so that mode is done we didn't have any multipliers but we do have storage facility lit and we've got our first storage facility and we started our second mode which is we've got one here we go
    100:45
    Here we go. Oh my gosh. Left ramp. We do have 2 and 3x. Oh my god. Fine. That's so right down the middle.
    101:21
    Woo! Pizza Guy, welcome. And yes, I would argue this is the best community. We also moved the heck out of that pinball machine. I am going to try and move it back without...
    101:39
    Oh, wow. That's enough. Oh, no! Oh, there's one. that's, we're going to have to deal with that right there. That's the max starting to hate.
    101:55
    Whatever, I do what I want. Uh, what do we need here? Let's do that. Uh, we also got a 6.345 something bonus just for hitting the skill shot. Got that for 11 million. Now we've got to complete four shots here. There goes ball two. We're at 118. What did we have to get to? 162. This is going to come down. It's going to come right down to it. All right. plus three bonus X.
    102:58
    I can't start a mode because I'm already in a mode. Let's catch ten ghosts. What do we need here? I missed all of that was just really really bad we're nice most of the time unless the game's screwing us
    103:38
    here we go we're going to build up gozer there's that Storage facility got lit somehow. I have no idea how.
    103:58
    We got an extra... How did we get an O? Did we get the extra ball bonus? Tell me we got a bonus for that because we're in competition mode. You can't have extra balls.
    104:14
    Alright, if we collect, I think we win. We got our 2x playfield. Come on, nice and easy here. Nice and easy.
    104:33
    Oh my god! It gave me the extra ball, though, which sucks. We got 52 million from Gozer. and 2.3. What's our score?
    104:55
    195. Okay. Oh my gosh, I got it. Oh, you guys are all like, yes, he got it. 195, 110, 070. So that was George. That was George, and that was disgusting over there. That was Z-Mac.
    105:21
    Ugh, that was so bad. But, Z-Mac, you killed it. Thank you again so much, man. That was super fun to have that kind of structure, I guess, and build up in a standard Monday night stream. So, I guess now that we have I gotta go put this back now. 4-3 ZMAC winsa.
    105:44
    I love it. Adjustment standard. I think it was closer this direction. Nope. Oh, my God. Player competition. No. I don't even know what that did. Apparently it didn't stop extra balls.
    106:06
    Nice work, Pez. Thank you so much. Seriously, yeah, that was a super fun match. I am looking forward to Star Trek now. Because I have really been feeling Star Trek. I haven't made it to Enterprise and Muck, but I've really been enjoying that game. The only issue is that we started to experience the flippers dying. Now ZMack, I think we actually talked with a few other people about the crazy wiring situation behind the back box, and that was awful. Dog Breath, welcome to the stream! Good to see you. And that will take out the randomness on, oh, it takes out the randomness on mystery. Okay, cool. Got five year once, but that was with a death save. Okay, okay. I'm going to reset this guy. We're going to drink a little bit more of this beer. You have gotten to five years. Jeez. That's like, that's not even on my radar. I have gotten to within like one or two modes of Enterprise Amok. I think four times now since I've had this. And I'm just excited At this point, I feel like with all the mods that still need to go into that game, I just got the actual Enterprise. It looks amazing. It kind of covers up the right flipper a little bit, and I don't know what to do about that.
    107:44
    Regardless, it looks great. Alright, let's start that boat here. Crazy good. JK is actually ridiculously good at Z-Mac No, Z-Mac is amazing And no, there's no cheating Alright, here we go Left ramp Got it Now let's see if we can hit that really tight shot Totally not We can hit that center shot Right there Not so much here or here but right here.
    108:30
    Alright, what do we want to do now? Let's go there. I'm trying to find the COVID parody of this song.
    108:46
    I did not know there was a COVID parody. Let's go Spook Librarian. There it is. Apparently that left ramp is harder to find for some reason.
    109:24
    I wonder, you know what I've never tried to do is a backflip into back off man. I wonder if you can do that.
    109:46
    No, no, no. A little more. That was a little much. Uh, but five year was already lit when you death saved, okay.
    109:59
    I mean, that kind of counts, right? This flipper cap is ridiculous! Uh, an old person voice. When you've been playing pinball as long as I have, the ball just goes your way!
    110:20
    That's the best old person voice I've got. I'll work on that, though. There it is. Okay, so we're back in, back off, man.
    110:39
    Wow, we have enough time for another game. I found it. I'll post in Discord. Thank you, Tracy. How did that not make it all the way around? That's awful. Awful. And that was a pretty good old... Pez, thank you. Flipper Gapper. Well, I mean, as I was mentioning earlier or on somebody else's stream. It may have been Jedi Mc... No, I don't think it was the Jedi's.
    111:17
    Oh, wow, that was also... Some great flipping going on right now. We started off, I feel like, really well, and it just went downhill so quickly. I have no idea what ultimately could be the reason. Oh, I finally get to read Harry Potter to my daughter. And I feel like this is my moment, right? To do something in a way... My daughter is going to love Harry Potter. I mean, she already does.
    111:58
    But this is my opportunity for her to be like, oh my god, my dad read me Harry Potter as a kid and I fell in love. And, you know, she won't even remember the fact that I had a unique voice for every character and that I had been working on perfecting those voices for seven years. She's not going to know any of that. But it's going to be all worth it when, as an adult, she's like, you know, I have never enjoyed any book more than Harry Potter. Well, thanks for those matches, George Before this match, I was at a net loss for the day But I think this is enough to make me even Gonna go now, see you Wednesday C-Mac, have a wonderful night I feel like a jerk Why will I see you Wednesday? What's going on on Wednesday? Am I forgetting something? Am I supposed to go to some event on Wednesday That I am spacing? uh it depends on back in my day thank you for clipping clipping that that's great wait is that no no uh it's uh tuesday and so it's monday tuesday and thursday for me okay cool i'm so happy that that it was just misremembering the day and me not like it was a birthday that i signed up for or a concert that I said I was going to or some major event that I completely spaced out. I'm just, I'm happy, I'm really happy it's not that.
    113:36
    Insert baseball. No, my... All right, now the game is just being mean. Seriously, we're going to go through all three of these games, the three balls, very, very quickly. I'm sure someone's streaming on Wednesday. Flip stream! It's first stream, the inaugural flip stream. That's what it is Wednesday. Wait, let's check the schedule. Let's just check the schedule really quick.
    113:59
    So this is the TPN schedule. Hold on. That's over here. The Google Calendar. So we've got Wednesday. Wednesday is packed, guys. Look at this. Right here. That's a lot of stuff going on. We've got, what the flip? One iPod, one pinball. We've got straight down the middle. Oh, wait a second.
    114:23
    Flipstream, you're not on TPN. But Flipstream, what time are you streaming? That was not intentional at all.
    114:32
    I saw Flipstream and I was thinking, no. No idea what to blame. Flipstream, aka Cavial What time is your inaugural stream on Wednesday?
    114:55
    7 to 9 Pacific, so for those of you who are in Mountain Time That would be 8 to 10, or if you're in Central, that is 9 to 11 Or, oh my gosh, if you're in Eastern Time, that's going to be 10 to midnight Oh, nice, he even said that right afterwards I just stopped reading at 7 to 9 Pacific, and Flipstream does not equal Flipstream.
    115:20
    I know that. I mean, I know that. I have streamed, I have dueled with Flipstream. I have been on, I mean, probably at this point about 10 hours worth of Discord and Zoom calls with Flipstream. And for a second there, I heard Flipstream and was thinking Fliptronic. No justification whatsoever for that. This is also true. I mix it up all the time, though. And flip streaming Caviel and Brian, exactly. Multiple names. So, let's switch it back over here, guys. We've got four minutes left until we need to end the stream because Comcast will kill my internet at some point. Between... Between midnight and ten after. Usually about ten after.
    116:12
    Four minutes! I know, we've gotta, we've gotta, we've gotta speedrun this. Cool, can we speedrun the right out lane? Because I am apparently really, really good at that right now.
    116:28
    Wait, is Fliptronic on TPN now? Flipper Snapper, yes. Uh, I don't think the announcement has gone out, which is why I haven't been saying that, but in my... Yep. A, the calendar is public, so I'm not... But Flitronic has already streamed with the heading on their stream. But the announcement just hasn't gone out yet. I think, unless it just went out today, and I haven't seen it. But it's going out soon.
    117:03
    Jesus. Seriously, if LazerLos was on this stream right now, he would definitely be crying that there are spoilers being given away right now.
    117:17
    Big Pinball claims another... Wait a second. Big Pinball claims another streamer. Faye... Nah, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, from now on the Pinsomniac. Right, that is Faye's new schedule.
    117:29
    Faye, wait a... Oh, not Monday. It's Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. Alright. Grrr! Oh, wow, man! Spoilers! Best laser... I know. Laser Lowe gets so upset with the spoilers, with things like... What is it?
    118:14
    Vader is Luke's father. He was pretty upset about that one. Also, movies that were like 20, 25 years old.
    118:35
    All right, game. apparently control is not on the menu for tonight uh they also while you're on here i'll have you know that uh i have tried my darnedest this evening to not say here we go even once so you can let this say no that i have been working really, really hard on not repeating that statement. And I even went into a little thing earlier about how there was this movie from the 90s. It was a really bad horror movie about the way that you detect whether or not it's an android that's trying to kill all of humanity is whether or not you get into a deep conversation with that person. And if they start repeating the same phrase over and over again, they're one of those androids. and they were untrustworthy. So that is what I'm trying to avoid, is repeating any phrase, because I, it's funny, but I give my dad the crap for repeating the same phrase over and over again, so now it's a thing. I need to say something else, like let us, what was the, oh man, somebody was on earlier and made a really good recommendation, and it does not roll off the tongue by any means, but it's a good one that I want to use in place of that. I feel like you could also say it in different accents and that would be okay, right? Here we go. Yes, very good.
    120:20
    Let's see here. Oh, a crutch on the radio pads. That's awesome. There's the technical terms for what that is. A 90s movie? Spoilers!
    120:32
    There it is. Flipper Snapper picking up for Laser Lose. That's awesome. Seriously, though, spoilers.
    120:40
    Yeah, George, can you please pass this turning test? Humanoid or Android, what is the difference, really?
    120:48
    Awesome. So I'm trying to avoid not a lyrical crutch, but just a crutch, I guess, with regards to radio speak. And, you guys, I had such a fun night tonight. I got to battle it out with Z-Mac. I lost three to his four, but Z-Mac is a completely different caliber of gamer, of pinball player than I am. I just like to have fun. Z-Mac destroys games. Literally destroyed my X-Men in a way that I... I was mildly offended at how my X-Men was treated and the score he put up on my X-Men at a show. That's... Like, I capped, I think, at 115 million on my X-Men, and he put up 350 million and got to the end mode, and the game kind of broke. Like, he could have put up so much more. And he was just having fun. So Z-Mac is an amazing pinball player. And regardless, I'm happy. That was so much fun. You guys, I had a great time tonight.
    121:55
    Literally destroyed X-Men without the ability to hit Wolf. Yeah, there was no Wolverine. Wolverine was only responding to one of maybe like six or seven hits. You know, tell me how the wealthy live, Papa. DMACC, 12 billion crossover shot on The Walking Dead. Exactly. Yeah, Zach also just put up, yeah, I think it was a total of 27 billion on The Walking Dead. He's a pinball monster. So anyway, you guys, my name is George. This show is Don't Panic Flip. We stream Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. We'll be back on tomorrow. tomorrow I think we have Christine and Avi coming back over and they want to play some Total Nuclear Annihilation so I'm looking forward to that let's see what kind of reactors we can get to let's walk through the rules and strategies and if you guys have ever played ever watched or played Total Nuclear Annihilation with me you know that I'm a big fan of always be multiballing so you guys I hope to see you again tomorrow Pintomniac thank you so much for that rave and you guys have a great night enjoy what is left of your Monday if there is anything left otherwise I wish you the best of Tuesdays y'all talk to you later hmm we should never forget that uh dude why are you still talking I was simply trying to absolutely flippersnapper we're gonna raid laser lows and let's spoiler alert I'm trying to get out of here but I need to say my important takeaway message from this experience. You know, something kids can talk to their parents about on the drive home.
    123:32
    I'm sorry, Mr. McFadden, but this is not that type of movie. He's a cop. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! Kids, ask your parents where babies come from!
    123:55
    You're still here? It's over. Go home. Now these are literal spoilers. Go. Thank you.
