Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Are we live? Are we live? Are we live? We're live! Hey, folks. We'll just give everyone a minute to pile into the stream and we'll get going. I hope everybody's going to Expo. It started today. We will be there tomorrow. And then on through the weekend. Yeah! Good afternoon, pinheads. Welcome to another exciting episode of Dead Slip Pinball. Thursday, as we try to keep it a little low-key, we do have a guest. Crystal is back from yesterday. So we're going to play. We're going to answer some questions. If you have anything to teach us as far as crap or doing wrong, please say so. I believe Crystal has a few questions of her own as far as the game is concerned. I do, yeah. So it's going to be fun. We're going to get a practice game in real quick, and then we'll set up some tournament rules. Okay. Fantastic. Let's do it. Would you like to do the honors? Sure. Go for it, buddy. So Crystal said she is not going to Expo, unfortunately. And super missing out, I have to say. There you go. Start milking that right loop, and then you can get that captive ball mode all lit up. Nope. Nope. Hold it. There you go. Do you post-pass, Debra? Post-pass? What's that just like? So if you can manage to cradle this ball right now, hold that. Post-passing is a method of getting the ball to the other flipper so that you can shoot that. It's just flipping really hard and really quick against the rubber here and it'll bring it over here. Harder, a little harder. It's different on various machines. Okay. It's all good. Here, I'll see if I can demonstrate without completely messing up. See, I thought it was more like a flick, like really soft. On older machines you can do like what's called a tap pass where the flipper barely moves as the ball's rolling down and it goes over. I'll try to do a loop pass and then I'll do a post pass. The loop pass is when it's coming around, you hold the flipper up and drop the flipper just as it's coming, and it just bounces over to the other side here. Oh, you don't want to just look at me? Come on, Bob. My sexy face. All right. So we'll try a loop pass to a post-dance. So I did that wrong, but it stopped it in enough time for me to get my hands on it, so I'm just going to let it bounce over. Don't trust that. Too bouncy. Too bouncy. Hey, Bob, thanks for coming, buddy. I'm going to see you at Expo, right? I sure hope so. No, you're good. You're good. You're good. All right. So slap it really hard. Like, that was pretty damn close. Good. I don't know what that was, but it was awesome. It's like pulling a lawnmower. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. All right. Let's see if I can demonstrate this again. We'll just shoot this on the fly. So you're going to do the loop pass and then the hook pass? I'll try the loop pass. I don't think it wants to work on this machine. Yeah, it doesn't want to work on the machine. All right, so I'll post-pass over here. You know what it is? I don't think there's enough power going to the slingshot there. Yeah, there's not enough power going to the slingshot. On a machine like ACDC, it's no problem to post-pass that ball. Easy-deasy. There you go. So, folks, we're just going to practice game in, and then we're going to set up some rules here to get a tournament going. No way you're getting that back. Come on. Nope. Barks. Barks. Nope. All right, let's see if I can post pass or loop pass. Actually, I'll just shoot a little while. Nope. Nope. Nothing. Nothing. Jackie should be a consultant. Consultant. Boom. Live, dummy. There's a long cast. Another one. Another one. Oh! I got greedy. I got greedy. That's scary. All right. So, tournament. How do we want to do this? Do you want to do best of three? Yeah? Beautiful. We'll flip to see who goes first. Oh, man. The, uh... I went to Northdown Cafe last night, I was there a lot longer than I should have been, I have to say. Yeah, no kidding. And even though Rolling Stones is kind of dumpy, it's still fun to beat the shit out of Mick Jagger. Called in the air. Tails it is. Darling, you can go first. Good luck to you. So we're going to do Beth two out of three. See what happens here. also for you guys that like to spam the chat I made Nightbot a lot more relaxed this time around so he will forgive you for posting all sorts of crazy stuff 4 million always, good old tournament mode Oh, gosh. It's all good. It's all good. Yeah, so you are familiar with the modes in here, right? Like the video mode, obviously. Rock the boat is just getting either ramp or I think hitting the center. Light extra ball is simple, and that's the extra ball shot right here to the left of the lock. It's like that little yellow target. Okay. If extra balls were turned on. That's the yellow one? All the way up into the back there. Yeah, and the last one up there is just an instant multiball, which is pretty nice to have. A lot of backhanding in there. Josh Bakins, what's up? On a machine with strong enough flippers, backhanding this is no problem. This is a little wimpy. And backhanding this is kind of nonsense, but backhanding the boat, super easy. Super, super easy. All right, let's see what we got here. More of those, please. Not quite. Yeah, fall in. Here we go. Oh, I hate you. There we go. Where is Rolling Stones and World Cup Soccer? It's at a place called North Down Cafe. Cafe, right? North Down Cafe, yeah. Yeah, it's a bar with food and stuff. It's pretty cool, but it's at where Lincoln and Ashland and Belmont, it's that corner. There's a bunch of streets there. It's across the street from some sort of workout place. Right, and they have a Simpsons pinball party, too. All the games are in pretty good condition, too. Oh, come off. All the bounces. Oh. Not what I wanted. Nope. I want to backhand that so bad, but you can't. Not on purpose, anyway. Keep it in your pocket. There you go. Farts. Yeah, you should check it out. They got some really awesome beers on tap. The food's pretty good, too. My only reservation about the pinball setup they have is the machines are in between the two bathrooms. and you're just in the way the entire time. So, you know, every 30 seconds you're, like, scooting to let the waitress by or something like that. The team that plays there, that's a great question. Sean Rafferty's team, I don't know if you know him. Ah, you know, for the life of me, I can't remember. There you go, tradition. Trick her into playing pinball. Pinball. Tradition, are you going to Chicago Pinball Expo? Most of Dead Flip will be there. I have a lot of trouble with that lock. A lot of trouble. Oh, you're kicking my butt. Come down clean. Thank you. Multiple balls. Make it look easy. Drop catch this ball. Let's see if this works. Oh, man, like it's my job. Please. Oh, everybody out of the pool. That was messed up. Son of a bitch. I hit nothing. I hit nothing. Girlfriend's parents are coming into town, which basically ruined everything. I don't know. Talk to that dad. He might be a pinball guy, because pinball sort of fell off the map for a lot of people there back in the day. Who's dad? Dad's like pinball. That's a bonding experience, I'm sure. All right. Beautiful. Oh, it wanted back, too. Oh, shit. All right, I got a little bit of work to do here. Good ball, good ball, good ball. Good ball, good ball. Good ball, good ball. Okay. Let's get some boat stuff going here. Can I please get the ball? Oh, that's a win for Crystal. I wonder how I keep track of this. Rules. Rules. Rules. Yeah, let's keep track. All right, so. Crystal. Has won. Oh, this music is so good. Big fat goose egg for danger. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Leave a message. So I guess since you won, you go first. What is this beer again? New Sticky Fat. New Sticky Fat from Half Acre? Mm-hmm. Fantastic. Did you get to play The Walking Dead at Brixie's place? Douse Bacon's, I sure did. And I put up first place and I put up third place on that machine on my first two games. It's an interesting machine. A lot of kinks to get worked out. One of the multiballs requires too much of a physical hit to, like, this, like, zombie head. And it doesn't register all the time. Which is pretty crappy. Boop. Boop. Oh. Okay. No flexing. All playing. Oh, fall in. Boop. Boop. Boop. All right, let's see if we can get video mode going here. Okay, you get video mode by... So, you see how hold bonus is blinking? Great. When I hit that captive ball all the way up to the top, I get hold bonus. The next thing that's blinking is video mode, so I've got to hit that again to get video mode started. And then you shoot the ball up the left loop and make it all the way up. All right, here we go. Love it. Now let's see if we can backhand this. Shouldn't have tried that. Shouldn't have done that either. trust the bounces that didn't make it come on oh I hate you trust the bounce that'll do it total lie yeah don't listen to me I'm a total liar Love that scream. So good. Yes. Oh, freaking slowdown, man. I can't figure out why it does that. What? Yeah, the points. All of the points are on the back. Whew. I'm a fan. Dang. And why even bother? It just wants out. Yeah. Duff Bacon's, I'd recommend trying it. If you're going to Expo to try it out for the launch party, definitely get a game in beforehand because you'll learn a lot of stuff that you won't figure out on your first game. And you only get one when you're at a launch party. Okay. So Pinball Expo started today. Oh, nice day. What the? Into the shooter lane. Might as well. Free pop bumper points. Yeah, so, Expo started today. Oh, farts. And it runs through Sunday. And if you want to just show up and play some of the games that people bring, you're free to come into it. I'm not sure how much it is, but, yeah, a lot of people bring games for just messing around reasons, and a lot of them are for sale. It's a lot of fun. What the... That didn't make no sense. No backhands for me. Oh, I could have saved that. Give me a break. All right. Here we go. Do it. TPS? Wait. Really? An Attack from Mars remake? Oh, yeah. I heard about that. And a monster... I'm guessing monster bash. Whoa. I'm guessing that means monster bash and attack from Mars. That's incredible. Man, that's fun and all, but now I'm starting to feel like pinball is going way too close to the movie industry. They're just thought of ideas, so the remaking was awesome. Oh, it's going to drop it on you. Oh. There you go. Beautiful. Keep crossing back and forth. Nice. Nice. You almost had a lock out of that, too. Liv. Love you. Yeah, right? You have to talk to the ball. Oh, man. You were on your way back, buddy. All right. Let's see what we can do with this. Nope. Nope, nope, nope. I want to play rock the boat let's see how that works out I'll never know okay well now I'm not going to hit anything when the slingshot doesn't fire that is so infuriating alright one to one baby one to one. Heck, we might want to do three out of five, honestly. Yeah, this is going pretty quick. Yeah, so can I get a show of hands of who's going to Expo? Because I want to meet up with some kids. We're getting a hotel room Friday night, and we're down to just get as creepy as you guys want to get. I won, so I will go first. Yeah. Nice. Oh, auto-cast. My man. Oh, that would have been an extra ball if it was lit. Oh. Oh. Love you. Wow, that was weird. I was going tonight, actually. I'm in the same buddhist tradition. Oh, right on. The old girlfriend's parents are in town, gag. Who needs them? Wait, I mean, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding, everyone. The worst. Yeah, well, now we know how everyone feels. Parents just don't understand. Parents just don't understand. Okay, so with all those long casts I got, I'm all lit up here. So if I just beat the crap out of that, I'll have everything running. Yeah. Beautiful shot. And I'm just going to feed it to your left whipper. Don't move. A little answer there. Creepy 60-year-olds at 3 in the afternoon. Oh, man. Here's a tip I give a lot of people, all right? Outside of the flipper skill nonsense, if the ball is anywhere in this region at all, push, but not too hard, push anything, like push the top of the swing shot or any of the rubber, push it into the ball. And what that does is it knocks the ball in and out of that area. Okay. So that it removes any chance of, you don't want to, will it go down here, will it go down there, but that's all gone. You're just knocking it out of that area because that's a danger zone. Just pop it out of there. So if you know it's close enough to that post or that slingshot to push that into the ball, get it the hell out of there. Okay. Ping pong! We are not playing ping pong, town. Maybe we'll play ping pong. Oh, yeah, we got some new balls for ping pong. There's a killer spin paddle that someone just bought down here. Big Melons looks... I've played that. It's been around for like four years. Have you played that game? No. It's an EM, a brand new EM, and Stern's going to help sell it. A new EM? Yes, but the artwork is getting a lot of backlash because it's just a girl holding two watermelons right here. Is she shirtless? No, she's fully clothed. She's got Daisy Dukes on. Right. But it's just all these dudes and a dog just drooling over her. Is she blonde? She's blonde. Yeah? Yeah, she's blonde. She's blonde. Douse bacons. It's fun. Man, it's fun. And that's awesome that they're still making EMs like that. That's so cool. Yeah. That's my favorite thing in the whole world. Open that ping pong table and put some pizza on it. You all ready? That is our buffet table. All right. Stop. Everything you're doing. Captive ball. Captive ball. Yes. Come. Oh, my God. I hate you. Captive ball. And a weird backhand lock. All right. Seen it at all the expos. It's a riot. All right. Okay. Let's play this the way you're supposed to play it. I'll get that back. All right. I just need to get a freaking ball in there. Please. Oh, don't even... Don't even... I hate this game! I am... That lock shot is something that just confounds me. Oh, of course, it doesn't make it all the way to the top for it. And make sure to light your spell lie when it's going through those inlanes there. Or the lanes up top. Because that's your bonus multiplier. Ah. Yeah. See, if it's anywhere near there, push it into the ball and it just gets it out of harm's way. Nope. Oh, fuck. That just wasted Rock the Boat. It doesn't hold on to the timer. From what I've experienced, anyway, if it does, I'll be stupid pumped. What am I shooting at? We're getting big points. Oh, I hate... Big score. Oh, it did hang on to the timer. Oh, you pizza... You pizza shit. Pizza shit. Oh, wait. It's still slurring. I'm sorry. I like the way that Nick Campbell plays because he approaches the machine and he looks at what's happening and he says it out loud. So he knows what he's supposed to do. That's totally helpful. Keeps good. Builds a nice mental picture for yourself. Oh, beautiful. You need one more lock to get multiball. And then you know what to do during multiball, right? Lock a ball up and then get balls up to the video mode. It'll live, it'll live. Nice. Hold that up. Alright, shoot that lock. Oh, you got robbed, for sure. The swears. Oh, frick. Yep, came down a little too clean. Bonus round. Come on. Two more shots to the captives ball and I have a multiball. You have to be kidding me. Wow. That's a sensible bonus, I guess. All right. This is yours to take. You need one shot left to the lock. Okay. And you're going to get it on the fly. I will. You're fine, you're fine. You're fine, you're fine. On the fly. Oh, man. No, no, no, no. Hmm. All right. Alright, alright. What was that? That's another win-o for Jack-o. Not Jack-o. Don't say Jack-o. Thanks, bud. Congrats to you. Alright, here we go. I won. I'll go first. I'd love another beer. Or more of that beer. Alright. Yeah, it's like an apothecary bottle or something. The word poison written real big on it. Blop. Yeah, I think we're heading to Wheeling to Expo around 1 o'clock tomorrow to make sure we get all of our tournament games in so that we don't have to wait in line all frickin' day Saturday. Are you going to be in the machine with him? No. No. If we... We're probably going to bring the stream with us. We're probably going to hook it up to one of Gavin's games. If he lets us, which he will, because we'll force him. You got another big fish? And no little fish. A big fish and a little fish. Come down. So, back for today, I listened to my old favorite Michael band in the spirit of the game. Was it Goldfinger? It was really good. Real Big Fish? Shame. It was a little shame. Because Goldfinger came on the radio today here at the studio. I remember really liking Goldfinger because the horn players from Real Big Fish did the horns for me. Oh, baby. Nice. Okay. Lockshot eluding me. Here we go. Lockshot, love you. Yay. Lockshot. Lockshot. Lockshot. I'm hit. I mean, those are good shots. They're just not to what I needed. Let's go for monster fit. Farts. That was my fault. I let go of the flipper. Are they remaking? Read that somewhere today, but I'm extremely hungover to investigate. What's that? Yeah, so someone mentioned that they're remaking Attack from Mars and Monster Bash. I have not heard that information outside of just a minute ago. What does that mean? Does that mean that... You're good, you're good. Okay, what's the list? So they're also remaking Medieval Madness. And what that is, is they're taking all the original mechanics, but they're replacing the boards and stuff to make it a little more efficient. and say the game is going to look 100% the same. Okay. From the outside, you wouldn't be able to tell. So it's like the idea of, like, they took Iron Man and they did, like, a second run of it. Right, but this has taken a game substantially older than that and remaking them because, you know, if you want to find a medieval madness that's, like, in good condition, that's like $15,000. Bring on some game. All right. Let's get some of these cap and balls. Oh, about a lock shot. You're the only one that's gotten them. I hate locks. Oh, God, why? Why is my life so hard FML FML Yeah if you guys go to Expo you get to get autographs from all the great game makers through history You know, John Papadiuk will be there, Steve Ritchie. John C. Duck? Yep, yep, yep, yep. I'm a fan of C. Duck. Everyone's usually there. Oh. Yeah, we ain't doing so good. We ain't doing so good. This isn't live, is it? Okay. Here's what we're going to do. Anything you look into play at Expo? Are you going to any of the talks? Colter, I don't really go to a lot of the talks, but to be honest, when I was, my last Expo I went to, which was like two years ago, I was still sort of getting into pinball. I was like a year in, maybe, and wasn't sure what I was going to learn from those talks. But as far as playing, I can't wait to get my hands on that big Lebowski game because it's going to be the shit. The shit. So excited. Okay, don't do this to me, girl. Love you. Love you. That was a mistake. Oh, man. Get up there. Stop messing with me. Bouncing. Oh, almost. Also, I think outside of the Walking Dead launch party, I think they are putting a Walking Dead machine in the lineup for the tournament. Wow. Big score, baby. Come on. Where you at? Oh, you'll get the fullest report. Is that a word? The most full report. Last bullet. I'll take some videos. I'll, you know, steal one. Just kidding. Not kidding. Just kidding, not kidding. Please stop messing with me, pinball machine. Here we go. So, rock the boat's next. Blump. And then, drain the ball is next. Love you. Oh! Oh! No! I had it under control and then I threw it away. Wasting my time. And get. Is it 20 seconds on the racquetball? Well, now it's zero seconds. I'm not sure. The dude abides. Yo, I'll go full super journalist on that game for you guys. That's called a jack danger. Just let the ball roll off the flipper. No one really cares. Thanks, darling. You got this. Jay Tomsich. Thank you for coming. I'm trying to get... So wait, today's Thursday, right? So folks, we're trying to stream every day, and we do stream every day, except for the weekend, obviously. And tomorrow, being that we're leaving here early to go to Expo, there was a thought that we wouldn't be able to stream and I didn't want to break our record. So once we're done streaming here I'm going to be doing some technical hoo-ha to see if we can get this whole rig out to Expo hook it up to someone's random machine and let it run for hours. That way you can make fun of the strangers that walk up and pick their nose on stream so they don't know what the hell's happening. Should be fun. A lot of nose picking goes on in pinball. It is gross because then you rub your hands all over the machine. Oh, no. Crap, you had that. Was that ball three? You got this, dude. Don't sweat it. Don't sweat it. I feel towards the end of the night a double or nothing coming on. That would be thick as burp. You know, I've got to figure out why the stream is being censored. I can't. It's being censored? Yeah. I mean, I'm sure he didn't type dot, dot, dot himself. Maybe. And also, that's only three letters, so it's not sick as ass. I think it just puts three. Well, that would be sick as ass. I will go first again. Listen, you got this. I do got it. Instead of, like, on the plunge, flip on the fly. because that's unavoidable. But when you get an opportunity to hold the ball, just do it. Slows the game down, and you don't make crazy shots all over the place. Don't yell at me, ass. And up the bow. Oh, my gosh. Slip. Up the bow. Oh, man. Careful now. Children. Children watching the stream. one lock shot oh live thank you oh my gosh I love how clean that goes down there cause it really doesn't make any sense with the rubbers being as cold as they are alright that wasn't as clean two lock shots All right, one more shot, and then we get to drain an entire multiball. Oh, that felt good. Here we go. Whoa! Don't get in the way. Oh, shit, I got it. Um, no, you want to lock up a ball and then shoot it up the loop to get to the video mode area. Why is it releasing that ball? Okay. Fuck you. Give me a jackpot. I just want one. I just want the one. One, please. Oh, my God. It was pretty big. The drain was pretty big. Can everyone hear me still? I think I just fell on my mic. I fell on my microphone. Since the Big Lebowski has now been done, what would the next best theme you'd want to see made into a pin? Oh, baby. Ghostbusters. Ghostbusters has a... Someone made their own re-theme, Ghostbusters, and it looks pretty good. Oh, really? Hmm. Movie, movie. What? That's a tough one. I don't know. Could be anything. It's like parkour. Do you want to see a parkour pinball machine? Or like, like everyone loves the game Tapper. They need to make a beer themed pinball. Jumping Jehoshaphat. Tapper pinball. Yikes, I don't know. There's so many possibilities. Led Zeppelin. A machine that I think might actually come out is like a Green Day pinball machine or something. Oh, yeah. Blues Brothers or Slapshot. Yeah. Blues Brothers would make a pretty slick pinball machine, that's for sure. Yeah. Blues Brothers. The, um, the Puppadoog, uh... Magic Girl? No, um, Kit was great. Oh, the Puppadoog. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was so beautiful, but I guess he didn't, uh... Something about the licensing, I guess. Yeah, it's all licensing. Yeah, he's been advocating a lot of stuff like that. I know the Spooky Pinball Guys came out with a pinball machine where the theme is, I think we discussed this, the theme is a reality haunted house show. And he 3D prints all those things. It's like a door and a ghost and stuff. NHL hockey or skateboarding. Hot pinball. Well, no, there's radical already and skateball. Twin Peaks? Auto-cut? No. Twin Peaks pinball wouldn't make any sense. You would hit the ball. It would, like, immediately stop, go under the play field. A unicorn would come out and start dancing and then... Actually, I wouldn't mind playing that. Grave liquor. Thanks for coming. I'm just going to talk about, like, the big thing of pie. You'd have all of the recording scenes and be like, Diane? Diane? Fleetwood Mac with all the people? Fleetwood Mac. All right. Big TV. Dancing toy in the middle just swaying back and forth. All right. Yeah, what's a sport like baseball or football or something that doesn't have a pinball machine right now? Like darts. Like even poker has a pinball machine. Oh, yeah. There's one right there. Hotshot. You know, the artwork on that makes me feel like those are their souls looking at them. It's like frightening. Yeah. Skateball is the shit. I played that thing for about three hours at Papa. That game is all about the tap pass. Tap pass. All right. There he goes. Oh, come on. There it is. Got it. Oh, you son of a... Big money, no whammies. No whammies. All the whammies. Somebody... Somebody go in there, please. Alright, we're going to hold this ball and see what happens. Just fall in there. Just someone accidentally fall in, please. You almost did. Oh my god, this is the jointiest game I've ever played in my life. The Shining? Hell yeah. Like, stand by me, pinball. Find a dead body. Ride the railroad tracks. Gilmore Girls, pinball. Gilmore Girls? Nope. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants? I'm sure it would make a fun pinball machine. Thelma and Louise? That'd be fun. I mean, that wants to be a multiball game. I have a question, Jack. Yes. For the longest time, I have called it pinball tables. Yes. And I hear a lot of people call them machines. Yeah. Have you heard people call them tables? Yeah, tables I've heard plenty of times. Okay. Or just pins in general. Pins. I have a buddy who calls them pins. Pins. You got this, dude. Don't sweat it. Well, I mean, you got this eventually. I don't get it. All right, here's what we're going to do. This next game is double or nothing. And I'll let you decide if you go first or second. You sure can. Double or nothing. You got this. Glory, glory, no. It's hard to, uh, no, it's not. It's easy. But, uh, positive. Yeah, just think positive. Everything's easy. Everything's easy. Nothing sucks. And I will say you're making a lot of dangerous shots. What do you mean? Or how? You're shooting a lot for the boat, which is fun, but I feel like this over here, the lock shot, or if you accidentally hit the long cast, they're both worth money. And all long cast is doing is increasing how many modes you have here, so that once you're ready to start hitting for that, you can start riding it up. Yeah, I like to shoot over here as much as I can. A lot of people like to go for monster fish, which is the boat. Yeah. But unless you know you can nail those with no problem and then get it up into that left loop, go for this stuff. I think that's why me and Charlie, because that was the thing that Bo was talking about in the video. Monster fish? Well, it's Bowen. He can say something, but that doesn't mean a human can do it. He writes math books for colleges and shit. He also, folks, little secret, was on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Who can I? Yep. I'd like to see that. All right. Fancy big bottle of beer. Yeah, folks, here, I'll give you a little half acre. Local. Local brewery here in Chicago. go. So everyone watching, what is your approach to blowing up fishtails? For me, I try to go for that multiball as soon as possible, but don't play it safe. This is for double or nothing. Do what you think is the highest point. You're winning. Here we go. Whoa, Nelly, Big Juicy Melons will hit production in spring. I do have interest in that pin, because I am actually a huge fan of EMs, and a new EM you know is going to be awesome. Plus, I've played it a couple times over the years, and it's pretty rad. And even the setup, it's like, it's a cabinet with no legs sitting on a big wooden milk crate with fake watermelons inside of it. It's pretty rad. It's got, like, wood paneling all over it. Wow. They should make a second one called Big Juicy Melons. Oh, yeah! It's just to do with some hot dogs. Right? Yeah. Avoid the captive ball when you can. Yeah. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. It is. It's like a dust shot. Long cast. That was the wrong side. That just didn't go at all. Mom! Super Jacks, but the average player can't get there consistently, or even good players for that matter. Tom, yes. The getting three jackpots and then start milking that captive ball for super jackpots is, it is a feat. So here's the super jackpots on this. So if you got all three balls in the air, locked it up, started your multiball, All right, then you have your balls on your flippers. You put one in here, then you collect your jackpot. That's one jackpot. Do it again. Another ball in there. Get it in there. Second jackpot. Do it again. Third jackpot. After that's done, hitting this captive ball gives you 100 million points every time you hit it. Every time you hit it. Tell me that you can keep up. Yeah, Monster Fish is fun. I just, I'm more of a multiball player, but not today. Actually, not on Fishtail. Because I'm not finding my shots. Wait, is this ball three? No. Crap. All right, well, let's try to put our name on this thing here. Yeah. If you don't stop freaking messing with me. In the lock, dummy. I hate you. Speak to the dummy. I hate you. Monster fish is where it's that. All right. You know what? Oh, I hate you. Well, there was a bullshit lock. There we go. All right. We're going to get some jackpots. I'm pissed. I'm pissed. Yes. I love you. I hate you. Oh, crap. There's not enough power. All right. Maybe we'll get lucky here. That didn't make sense. Okay. So the jackpot is still ready. Nope. It took too long. Now I've got to get it back in there. Or else I would have had it. Shit on you, dude. Fall in there. Please give me the ball. I cannot. Okay. We got this. We got this. Something big is about to happen right now, and it's called backhand. No. Oh, God, my life. You know what? I don't deserve to play pinball anymore. Yo, Super Panda, what's up? Hey, Super Panda! Sorry you got banned the other day. I scolded Nightbot, so you should be fine. Don't do it. It's not worth it. All right, video mode, please. Actually, boop, boop. All right, I'm flipping it and nothing here. Didn't go yet, Super Panda. It starts today, but we're not going until tomorrow, and we're going to stay there through Sunday, I believe. It's up. You don't know what I'm shooting. I could be throwing candy bars at these boats. Gotcha. Oh, I hate the slowdown on the ROM. I don't know what the hell that is. Oh, baby. Quite a struggle, but nice job on regaining control. Thank you. Yeah, no shit. Oh, love you. Oh, the slap saves. Can you just be my friend for a minute? Hello, Jaden. Welcome back. Nightbot is a tyrant, it's true. I'm not even sure why he watches us. What a chump. Okay. Ten million. Oh, Starboard. Oh. Love it. God, it's so satisfying. There's points to be had, that's for sure. multiball. Yeah. All right, now let's try to lock up. Don't. Okay. Thanks, friend. Thanks for being my friend. Okay. Okay. Everybody, freaking relax for a second, please. Everybody out of the pool. Not everybody. Oh, my God. That was terrible. No. So now every time I hit that center shot since I've collected all the balls or all the modes, it's worth $5 million and growing if you can nail it hard enough. Okay, let's try kneeling this thing. Nice. Oh. Rick. Woo! Everybody out of the pool. Thanks, Super Panda. This is a learning experience. I have to admit, I don't know much about fishtails. Yo, Nightbot, don't start any shit while you're in here. That was it? Whew. Man, that was a solid score. Good job. All right, we're going to double or nothing this one. Yeah, why not? I have to learn something here, Pat. What can I say? What can I tell you? Well, I'm trying to be a little bit more safe. Can I go first? No, you can go first, by all means. We don't like your kind here, Nightbot. Well, I can't hate on Nightbot too hard. He works for free. But to be honest, I don't really know what Nightbot's doing. I just installed it. I just didn't want to look like it was only me sitting in the stream by myself. I wanted that robot companionship. Yeah, her. That locks shots. My man. The locks are real, baby. Oh, I really... Does D.E. Simpsons deserve the bad rep it has? Never played it. Let's see it in the background. Yes. That game is a... That game is a punisher. Also, we took our center post out, so the game is just impossible. Yeah. There's only one shot on that game. It's the left ramp, but good frickin' luck hitting it without draining. I see you. Voila. Andale, andale, mama. Oh, what the fucking... Yay! All right. Crypto turn. We got a game on our hands, folks. Time Machine, yeah. Tales from the Crypto, I have to say. I wasn't such a fan of that game. Apollo 13, it's 13 multiball, dude. When I first encountered that, that blew my mind. Have you played an Apollo 13? Crystal? No, I haven't. I heard about the 13-ball multiball. Flippers can't even contain that kind of weight. That sounds surreal. I just type stuff out and make Sturdy sound like he's saying nice things to me. GNR's fun. GNR is a lot of fun. They have one of those at headquarters. Oh, come on. You're going to get a lot, my friend. Good shove. Cradle. Perfect. Edge of the flipper. Yeah? Yes. Well. Just the tip. Just the tip of the flipper, please. The dumb laugh kills tails from the crib for me. Oh, man, yeah. His, like, goofy cackle is every freaking shot. Thank you! Nicely done, buddy. Two more, please. Two more, please. Well, you got two more in you, I'm sure. You got two more in you. A little bouncing on her, nobody. Here we go. Nobody look at that. All right, let's start this ball for the first time. Yeah, no problem. There's a TFC at Logan's program, right? Yes. And it's freaking annoying. Yeah. Because he does cackle every time you make a shot. Oh, man, Colcha, RoboCop is the shit. It's got that jump ramp in the back. Is it RoboCop? It's awesome. So there's a right ramp that you've got to get up, and the ramp has a big cutout in it, so it goes through the air and lands on the other side. It's so rad. It's a bonker. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Love you. No, you're not going to make it all the way up? No, I'm not going to make it all the way up. Good sound, yeah. I had to reorder a DMD controller for GNR. Ooh, I don't know much about that stuff. All my pinball fixes are rubbers and light bulbs. That's all I know how to fix. The rubbers and the light bulbs. And lock. Yes. That's all I wanted. Beautiful. Whew. Is Danger your real last name? It's the most sick last name. Thank you. Oh, that's all I wanted to do this entire time. Thank you. I'm going to give this a cheesecake. See, just do this every time. Magnets and shit. Oh, no fear is crazy, too. Yeah. Yeah, there's no fear of pinball machine. I mean, dogs playing poker? Oh, no, no fear is more of a, like a sports thing. Oh, you're thinking big dogs. What's your thing with the big dogs? I play with the big dogs. Big dogs can walk the world. Or, uh, what's that beer, Mad Dog? No, yeah, Mad Dog. No, that's not what I'm thinking of. Red Dog, right? Red Dog. Was that the one where the beer bottle cap was just a black outline of a dog's face with, like, a droopy face? And people discovered if you flipped it upside down and covered half of it, it looked like Batman doing something gross to somebody. Anyway. I have no idea. Well, it's... Okay, I got it. Yeah. Two rocks. Two rocks. That's all you need. Big fish. Yeah, thanks, Jaded. You're fine, you're fine, you're fine, you're fine. Just shoot it on the fly. Beautiful. Catch it. Love you. There you go. Like the Indian butter lady. Oh, yeah, with the boobs. have to go thanks for coming we will have a great time at Expo Maybe not Crystal but I have a good time at Expo Bloop. Bloop. Rich nerds. Is there such a thing? Yeah, I guess there's such a thing. Why the hell would I even say that? God, I just want to 300 kick this machine across the room. Farts. All right. Maybe we should change this up. Change what? Something. Let's figure something out because I feel like this is a little imbalanced. Unbalanced? Because I suck? No, not because you suck. Yeah, that's salt. I'm salty. Yeah, I'm salty. I want to knock this game over. Tours of salt. Guessing why. All right. I think everyone's ever been here. It's all fake. All right. All right. Have you ever played split flipper before? Split flipper? We're going to try. Folks, we're going to try a game of split flipper. If you don't know what that is, it's where someone takes the left flipper and someone else takes the right flipper. And this may sound stupid, but this is how a lot of tiebreakers and tournaments are played. Really? There's also tournaments for split flipper at big places like Papa. There will be a split flipper tournament at Expo. And you really know, you've got to know how to read the person. So what you're going to be doing is if you think you don't have the ball, but it's going to touch your flipper, let it bounce past. Are you ready for this? Sure. Are you more comfortable with your left hand or your right hand? To react. Because usually people do it with the hand that's easier to play with. And do you want the right flipper or the left flipper? Yeah, I think right. Right? Okay. That just sounds weird. Yeah, it is weird. It is weird. But check this out. Go ahead and launch this. Okay. Yep. Get it. You're fine. High score. Oh. baby. We're going to play like the best freaking game. Launch us. Pow. Yep. Launch another. There's a multiball. You ready? Yeah, okay. So you're in charge of, well, we're both going to keep them alive, but get the ball up there. I'm going to put the ball into the caster There's still out here. It's fine. They'll come back. They'll come back. Holy Moses. Oh, my gosh. You're good. You're good. You're good. Okay. Flip it. All right. Let's start rocking the boat or something. Ooh. Okay, long catch. Jackson, all the work. No, see? You're stopping me from fucking losing the ball. Hold it. No. Sorry. No, you're good. Don't sweat it. Look at that. 13. And we already got a freaking multiball. All right. Go for it. Launch it again. No, we're good. Not okay. We good. Shit, I should stand like this every time I play pinball. I'm killing that lock shot. Nice. None of us had that. Don't sweat it. All right. I'm going to go for rock the boat. So go for it. All right. It's yours? Beautiful. Here we go. Oh, you son of a bitch. Yo, that split flipper. Good job, dude. Fine. What a trick. Oh, baby. Practice that. You got to find someone you can really trust to, like, like when Nick and I play this stuff, because we played pinball together, like, we learned together. We just know how to. Yeah. All right. I've played pinball for the last three years on and off, and I have no idea what the number is. Super Panda, are you messing with me? What that is, is it's randomly... Okay, let me back up here a second. When you look at your score, the last two letters of your score are going to be a number and zero. It's always in a ten. So right now we have 60. Unless you play a game like Wizard of Oz and it's just one number, but we'll forget about that. So 60 is the number we want to have in our heads right now. Now, when the machine at the end of your ball, it randomly picks a number, and if it picks 60, you get a free game. You get to play again. You don't have to put any more freaking money in. You're just good to go, and that's all it's doing. Free game! Or tradition could have just explained it, and I'm sure you won't see this for another 30 seconds. Can bars change the programming so that there are no matches? Yep, you can change. Rejection balls, no matches, all sorts of stuff. But if you put it on no matches, you're a piece of crap. Corny. Like, that's so dumb. And you can change the replay score. You can set the replay score. The replay score automatically goes up if people keep hitting it. And the second someone misses it, it goes back down. But you get to set that low point for, you know, so that if you bought, like, a brand new game, you don't want people to beat the shit out of it. and you want money put in. Domo. Love it. Just put the match at 5%. I'm not sure you get to pick how often it gives a match. The match is randomly generated. Oh, my gosh. All right. Now what? Fish Finder. No, I didn't make it. So when the game is in such a tournament mode, Fish Finder gives a random award instead of just the four million. And one of those random awards can be a multiball, an extra ball, all sorts of fun stuff. All right. Whoa, really? You could pick the percentage of matches? That is the ultimate prick move. Yes, the charity event we are hosting is open to everybody. It's at Emporium. I'll have to double check. I'm pretty sure it's at Emporium. I'm just going to say it's at Emporium. And it's open to anyone that walks in. We don't care. When is it? It, whoo. Because Nick just put it up on the Facebooks, and I have to look. I will tell you right now. The 26th? No, that's... The 26th. The tournament is the 26th. I remember it because it's the day after my house party. If you guys want to come to a house party, too, you're welcome to. House party? You know, house party. You want to come to a house party? Sure. Do you have to wear a costume? It's encouraged, but not required. So it's the 26th at 1 p.m. at Emporium, yes. And it's open to everyone. People off the street, grab your grandmas, whatever. If you know people that aren't ranked for IFPA, it's going to be a Whopper Point system. So just putting money in, and if you shit the bed and don't lose anything, you'll still have a world ranking score. Which is kind of cool. Do you do crystals? Yep. Are you up? I'm not. You're up. Oh, so here, click you again to turn it off. Click me. Jack. Click dissolve. And then Jack. And then I do this. And then you click Jack again. And then he clicked his off. Yeah. All right, cool. The biggest wiener. Hot steaming wieners. Big greasy wieners. The new pinball machine from Stern. The new EM. Big greasy wieners. All right, here we go. So, video mode. You ding dong. But I saved... Oh, beef spank. Yeah, tradition, that'd be awesome. Give us a holler, man. It's going to be so good. Plus, it's a good charity. A lot of leagues around the U.S. hold this. Pinball Outreach Project charity. Pretty good. And there's lots of points to be had, so come out. Lots of points. Plus you can show up and beat my ass in pinball and laugh at my scream. Come on, come on. Get it together. Thanks, Jaded. Yeah. I really wasn't into draining the ball just then. No, come on, come on. Come on. Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. So what do I do when that happens? So there's two things you can do. You have to gauge which flipper you think is going to hit it if you moved it a little bit. Okay. And what I do is I just drag it a little bit. You know? Yes. Drag it. And you see any dangers? Nope. And you're moving it just enough for the ball to catch it, or the flipper to catch the ball. Final fish, ding-dong. Final fish. Are you really vegan? Yeah, kind of. You can... Kind of? Are you a pescatarian? No, I'm mostly vegan. Mostly vegan? Yeah, I don't drink milk. I'm half vegan on my mom's side. Can't hear it. Can't hear it. Oh, baby. I haven't had one video mode yet. What? The slowdown gets me every time. What's a slowdown? I don't know why it does that. It just goes, it starts chugging. And I haven't experienced that in any other Fishtails. Oh. Call me Steam. Thanks for the follow. Call me Steam. Call me Steam. Hello. All right, Steam. How you doing, bud? Gotta run. Traditions, thanks for coming. Hi. Wait. Yeah, the nose James Piekarz. Watch out for those. Emporium has hand sanitizer around, so there's nothing to worry about. Yeah, gloves are good, too. Sounds really nerdy. Well, honestly, I tried playing with gloves once, like fingerless gloves, to try to look cool when I first went to Papa, and it threw my game off immensely. There's something about your sweaty hands being able to grip the machine, where if you have gloves, you're like sliding or if you, I don't know. Don't be that guy wearing gloves. Come on. Who's this guy? His name's Steam. Call him Steam. Gloves and headphones, baby, all day. Yeah. And tinted Oakleys. Tinted Oakleys, please. We're a world series of poker in here. I'm getting all those back because that wasn't everybody out of the pool situation but it was early enough that I can recover okay, get in there I hate you, I hate your guts I hate everything about you This car is very nice. You've been double-crossed. You've just been crossed. That last word was hate. No, hate's a bad word. That's stupid. Shut up. Or, or fuck you, you piece of shit. Stop it. Everybody out of the pool. Damn it. Blues Brothers. Yeah. It's your time to shine, Cinderella story. Come on. Oh, my God. Wow, what? I'm eating shoes tonight. Don't eat shoes. Eat shit. No, don't eat shit. I'm trying to remember how that Booth photo song goes now. Every time I type EO, I'm always scared Nightbot will ban me again. He's got his eye on you, Super Panda. You better watch out. I'll let you go first. I think, because here's what's going to happen. Okay. You got this. You're going to win this one. This is double, triple, all or nothing, win the game. Okay. Like that shot there, I would have tried to cradle the ball instead of shoot it. This is what happens. Nope. Don't talk. Keep doing this. You just made some money, and this shit is lit up all the way to rock the boat. Oh, that's great. That's great news. And you know what rock the boat is, so you're good to go. That means... Rock the boat! Eating the... You twerked against the vegan? Like, eating shoes. Call me Steam. We're going to Expo tomorrow. Thursday is sort of loose and is just whatever. People are still getting there. We go there Friday at about 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, and then get our tournament games out of the way. And then if we don't qualify, then we have Saturday to pick a few games to make sure we do qualify. And if we don't qualify, then we spend all day Sunday drinking and crying, which is always fun, too. Can't beat a good drink and cry. Get some sad Coors Light and maybe some nachos from a vending machine and do all the crying. Sour Patch Kids. Sour Patch Kids. SPK. Those are vegan. Sour Patch Kids are vegan? Yep. But they're children. You're eating children. You're eating children. Sour Patch Kids are people Trust the bounce One handed Yo we're gonna try that No you're gonna try it We can both try it Well yeah not right now obviously How big was it? Hardcore tournament players I'm still... No, that's a typical Chicago accent. So, yeah, it's kind of Polish. Hey, Bob, look, water skiers. Hey, Bob. Hey, Bob. Sausage. I don't know. I have the least amount of Chicago accent. I would love to see, like, a Canadian pinball machine. Or you're coming under, eh? The McKenzie Brothers. Oh, yeah. The beer thing. Right? Oh, my God. I'm an idiot. Who was that? That was not Martin Storrs. Who am I trying to think of? Who were the McKenzie Brothers? It was an SNL skit, right? No, it was... No, SBTV. SBTV, that's right. The Canadians. Yeah, John Candy. So funny. They have a really great bit about Michael McDonald. Recording his track for Steam again. Call me Steam. No, thanks for coming. We are doing this every day at 5 o'clock p.m. Central. Usually we have a crap load of people playing tonight. We're just keeping it a little low key because a lot of people are in wheeling right now for the stream. Crystal kindly came along to try to beat my ass. Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas. Dave Thomas, who owns Wendy's. No. Oh. Damn it. I like how you knew exactly where I was going with that. You're like, nope, it's not that Dave Thomas. Not him. Everyone knows Rick Moranis. More. Honey, I shrunk myself. Yep. Honey, I shrunk myself. Honey, I blew up the baby. Ugh. Why? Holy shit. I'm getting a lot of rock and rolls here. Right, we get it. Dinosaurs, go home. Take your dinosaurs and leave. That's hill. Hill. Not so grease or Dorito powder on the flippers? All one for Pete's sake. Oh, sorry, I've been talking. I talk, I don't focus. I need to eventually not wear this hoodie when I play pinball because I just start sweating my ass off. We're talking about getting ACDC, uh, keep down the check-in for a piece. Oh, baby. Hells Bell's Trudy. They make a really good shirt for the ACDC website. Fucking give me a ball back. I hate you. Uh, I don't hate you. Um, that's awesome. Well, you can make a Hells Bell's Trudy with, like, the font and everything. Yeah, we should. We could do a car wash with ACDC and Bra. Oh my gosh, I'm the worst pinball player. For 108 million. Jizo Pete's. Jizo Pete's. Have you had their pizza? It's crazy. Jizo? Jizo Pete's. I got it without cheese. No cheese, man. I don't know how that works. One of the founding Deadflip members who now lives in Cleveland, Dave, recently discovered that he is lactose intolerant. Now he gets less diarrhea, but his life isn't as full and fulfilling. Yeah, we have... Super Panda, we have an ACDC right next to Fish Tales here. It is the sheep. All right. One shot. Gun to my head. Okay, did you guys see on stream that I fucking hit that? And it did not count? I hit the goddamn jackpot and it didn't count. Oh, jeez. Oh, my God. I hate. Why do I keep saying hate? Actually, I don't hate. The thing is, I'm just really frustrated. Five million. Oh, my gosh. At this point, if I was in a bar that was full of pinball machines, this would be the point where I'd be like, I just can't give up. Just don't want to do it. Yeah, that happens. But I'm not. payment plan. Thanks, brother. Thanks for coming. Play it. All right. Uh, super Panda where it will be on the ballot for voting on what next week's game is going to be. To be honest, if we play that all next week, I'd be a very happy camper. Cause that is my favorite pinball machine every day. Not losing ACDC. That'd be cool to stream ACDC. You know what? We might just, We might just forego the vote. No. This is a democracy. We have to keep consistent. If you're not consistent, people don't give a shit. Look at that. Long top. Look at that. Oh, long hat. Excuse me. Oh, I was just putting the machine back is all. It wasn't an anger thing. There's no good pinball places near me, just a bar with Avatar. Oh, I'm sorry. Well, okay, here's the deal. Payment plan. Let's be real for a second. That game is a game that if there's a lineup of shitty games that I don't want to play any of them, and Avatar is one of them, I will play that game because that game is all multiball. You get Link multiball, which is backhandable and super safe to get. You get that, then you use that multiball to open the amp suit and get that multiball. Then just hit everything and points come out of nowhere. Super Panda, we're going to put up a new straw poll. We try to put up a new one every week so that we don't have the same games on the list. Oh, you hit that at the wrong time. I know. I got twitchy. Music-based pinball month. Hmm. What? We got a Metallica in the background, which we played already. ACDC? Well, I guess that's it. Yeah. Yo, ATDC is a game that I promise you I could show you guys how to play properly. That is my favorite game. The Southern Fried Pinball Expo was here in June, but it's only once a year. Yeah, where is here, payment plan? The Chicago Pinball Expo is happening right now, and we're going tomorrow through Sunday. So if you want to fly out to the city and beat us up, you're more than welcome to come out. Yeah. You know? And by beat us up, I mean like physically punches in the face. Pinball gang. Mom? Oh, I'm going to throw the machine across the room. By the Guns and Roses? Oh, Atlanta, that's awesome. Oh, yeah, Southern Friday. I'm an idiot. I knew about that. Southern Friday? Yeah. GNR is fun. It's just not my cup of tea. You know? You know what I'm saying? Well, Crystal, what do you think? Compy 234. Thanks for following. What's shaking? I don't know. What's shaking? How are you? I'm stepping on all the gear over here. Let's, uh... What do you want to do? what are your time constraints now? What do you feel like doing? Well, you know what? Let's just play. Let's just play. Let's be happy. Let's drink beer. I'm going to take my freaking hoodie off, folks, so I apologize if this is loud. Because I'm just getting sweaty and disgusting. What? What do you need? I go first. I need a... I have a beer. I'll take another one, though. Grab a Miller lighter or something. I don't know. Dad beer. How are the dad noises? Are we keeping them under control? Dolly Parton is actually a great pen. Yeah, it is. And the back glass artwork is out of control. Super Panda, I can see you chatting just fine. All right. Here we go. Let's go straight for Monster K. Let's get the ball back first. It's a good save to a garbage drain. Everything's in Pandaren? Well, Super Panda, I don't know you. Congo. Yo, payment. Congo is the shit, man. Collect those diamonds. Yeah, totally. Drink all the beer. Fun call outs, great layout. Oh, yeah. You know what game I discovered that I'm actually super in love with is an old Stern game called Stargazer. The backlash has like this hippie space princess floating in the stars holding a golden hula hoop. Where'd you play that? At Expo like two years ago. But the game has a very unique thing where it doesn't have slingshots, but there's two saucers above the flippers. And depending on what it lands on when it gets in the saucer can like increase different things. But there's two spinners on this thing. What you do is you cradle the ball on one flipper so that It's on the flipper, but not quite in the saucer yet. Okay. And when it's just about to hit the crank up the spinner points, knock it in there, like a subtle little backhand, and it falls in. It comes back. You just rock that spinner. And there's something about, I don't know if it's the speaker that's, like, on the wood of the machine or something, but when you nail that, the whole machine just vibrates. And it is the most rewarding feeling. Wow. Just nailing that spinner, you just feel the whole thing start shaking. That's great. Yeah, it's incredible. It's like black hole. Oh, yeah. Black hole is fun, too. CP. Oh, yeah. CP. It's kind of the opposite of that. Like, it's just so floating and, like, soft, but still really just, like, and then you get it in that lower brain field. Yeah. And it's got those little slickers. It's so fantastic. I love it. Kill it, bud. You got this. Yeah. Okay. Here's my problem. GNR's are right. Yeah. What's your problem? Okay. I see you do that a lot. So when the... That was a great shot. When the ball launches... Yes. I am very stationary with my left flipper. Yes. Because I don't really... Oh, hold the left flipper up. Hold it up. Right flipper, hold it up. We're just trying to get you to cradle that ball more so you have time to think. Okay. So my problem is it comes out like whoosh and it comes down. And here. You're flipping too soon. Yeah. Because you're shooting it up at the boat. You need to give it like a millisecond later to send it this way. Okay. A little bit more. Enough to tip. Yeah, a little more to tip. Gross. Womp. Womp, womp. In the Williams family, bonsai. Okay, yo, Banzai Run, I played that against Escher Lefkoff, a 10-year-old kid whose favorite game was Banzai Run, and he destroyed me. That is a pinball machine that, here's the pinball machine, and then it carries up into the back glass. So, you're going out, and then you're going up with the pinball, and eventually back down to the play field. And it is crazy. Who made that? It looks like Williams. Dead bounce is the most important skill to master payment. That is why we are called dead flip, which is another name for the dead bounce or the bounce pass. Our coach, if you folks are familiar with pinball people, is Zach Sharp. He has taught us all the flipper skills and rule sets and stuff that we've ever needed to know. Like, if we've ever had a problem, we give him a call. He tells us what's up. don't let my playing right now reflect on his ability to teach. I'm just drunk and playing like an idiot. But he told us that the best way to learn how to do your dead flip or your dead bounce or your bounce pass and just to learn where the ball is going to go and trust where the ball is going to go is to play one-handed. And I was talking to Crystal about this yesterday. When he told us that, it was like a big, what the frick are you talking about? That sounds so stupid. But when you're playing one-handed, you don't have time to just flip whenever the ball comes to the flipper. You have to learn to see where that ball is going to go, how to trust it to come to your flipper. And if it absolutely is not going to come to the flipper that you're focusing on, just come over and give it a flip. And you learn to read the ball more instead of just tunnel visioning right here. You sort of open your field of view up a little more of what's coming around. You know, another machine that's really fun to play on the bed is Tommy, because there's the blindfold on Tommy. Yeah, yep. And I, like, come back. You have to trust it on Tommy because if you flipping you going to flip right when the ball is like there and it just going to dribble off You not looking up here You not Yeah Banzai Run is all about ignoring the lower play field Yeah dude that game busted my butt Taxi is incredible. So is Diner. Holy shit. You were talking about Diner the other day, I think. Or was it me? It was me. Compy. I think that's me. I think that's me. Yeah. No, I went first because I just gave you titles on your face, on your ball. Yeah, Compy, play one-handed. Make sure you play it on a game that's free play because you don't want to go throwing your money away because you'll get frustrated really freaking quick. But after, I'd say, about 20 games, you're going to really get the hang of it. And when you finally bring your other hand back to play, you're going to realize that you're flipping like 30% to 50% less, which is great because it slows the game down for you. And slowing the game down is important to getting big scores because it allows you to focus. It allows you to pick your shots. You're not just flipping at random crap and then losing it like I've been right now. It's a lot of fun. SDTM. SDTM. That SDTM that beer tastes like spaghetti. Is SDTM an Internet thing? I don't know. That's called a, oh, yes. Jesus Christ, I can't believe that. If it'll stop my girlfriend from kicking my ass on the Addams Family, I'll try anything. Thanks for the tip. Compy, if you want Addams Family tips on how to blow it up right now, here's what you do. You ready for this? You know the electric chair with the scoop, right? Yes, you do. Okay. Then you've got the ramp that's right up the middle towards the back, like the bear kick ramp. All right. Here's how you win and beat everybody at Addams Family. Put the ball in the chair. It kicks it out of the chair. All right? You can let it dead bounce to the right flipper depending on how it kicks out. If you stop it on your left flipper, great. Or if you let it bounce over to the right flipper, great. Shoot the bear cake ramp. It goes up. You have a mode running. Ignore the fucking mode. When it comes back down to the flipper, back into the chair. Back up the ramp. Back in the chair, back up the ramp. Repeat that. You're going to blast through all the modes. Chair ramp, chair ramp, chair ramp. Chair ramp, chair ramp all day. Then you're going to get to tour the mansion. Immediately, it just gives you 50 million points, all right? Then all the modes that you passed up automatically start on a timer coming back to you, so you get to play them at this point. And it just pours money all over you. It's incredible. All right. Diner is amazing. Oh, my God, yes. Okay. Any tips for Star Trek? Super Panda, are you talking about the new Star Trek? I'm guessing. You're killing me. I'm killing myself. I relaxed on this last one and I was like, I'm just going to... Do you... How... Okay. How well do you know your drop catches and your live catches and stuff? I know them moderately well. This game, I found, wants to be drop-capped, which isn't a word. I drop-catch on this game a lot. Nick Campbell tries to do live catches a lot, but it rolls off the flipper a lot, it seems. If you can time the drop-catch good, it takes a little practice. But on games where the ball's a little squirrely, like this one, it's a good thing to have. because if a ball was coming and you tried to live catch it, it's going to come up here and then it's going to like just dribble off. Live catch is boom, boom, right? No, a live catch is if you're holding the flipper up and the ball's coming at the flipper, rate as it comes to the flipper, drop it. Oh, yeah, yeah. And that just eats all the momentum. And then you have, it's like you're life flashing before your eyes. You have like a millisecond to decide where that ball's going to go if it didn't come all the way up to cradle it. but then, like, generally, like on this game, I just know that I wanted to go back over there, so I just put it back where it came from. Works out pretty well. Am I up? Yeah, you're up. And try to hit electric chair with the left flipper. It's the most safer shot. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Adam's family. I'm telling you, chair ramp, chair ramp all day. Shoot nothing else. Chair ramp, chair ramp, chair ramp. Don't ever stop doing that. You'll get tour of the mansion. 50 fucking million for just completing all that. A lot of people are lucky to get 50 million playing the game normally. I've certainly smoked GD fun. I got my first tour of the mansion this past weekend using the jack method. The jack method. Yeah, we're good. Can you give me a little shout out here? Yeah, of course. Thank you, darling. Definitely do. alright let's go for another walk here let's go for another drink so that's what's called a oh my god ball three and I have four fucking million points right I've been talking I'm talking to the stream too much well guess what guess what double or nothing this is it take this take this home this is you you got this You can wipe the slate clean right now. Stop. Okay, hold that ball. Hold it up. Hold it up. Hold it up. Shoot over here somewhere. All right. All right. A little too late. All right. Hold left. Right flip her up. Hold it. Flip it. Okay. Oh, God, yes. All right. Good. Okay. Here we go. Right flip her up. Pop it. Yeah, you wanted to. It's like one solid shove rate when it comes to it. Okay, so tips on the new Star Trek. Sorry, darling. Oh! Like 200,000 away. That was like one shot. Tips on the new Star Trek. If you're comfortable hitting stuff on the fly, the super skill shot's pretty good where you hold the left flipper, launch it. It'll come all the way around. Then you've got to shoot the gate underneath the ship. I believe that's a million just for hitting that. There's the warp skill shot too. Yeah, where it's a little bit of a soft plunge and then get the upper flipper to shoot it up the warp ramp. That's another skill shot. But as far as that game is concerned, I like to get through the first three modes on the right as quick as possible because I like super ramps. And then once super ramps are lit, alternating the ramps back and forth, comboing them starts paying out really big. But what you also want to do is get through all the modes ASAP to get to Kobayashi Multiball. And that is where points just come out of nowhere. It's incredible because it's just everything's lit. There's also the new code that has a few other things. Oh, if you delve down instead of around. Because you can play the same mode. You can complete the same mode three times. The new code I'm not too familiar with, what happens when you get down? I don't know. I haven't played it enough. I just know that there's something called Galactic something, where the team, you know, maybe just use her. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like Galactic something or other. Oh, weird. I've never played it, but I love the page. Yeah, it's fun. So, you know, also, if you're on your way to Kobayashi, and you're on your last mode, and you're on your last ball, and shit's getting dangerous, and you really want the multiball, and your last mode's going, instead of playing it out, what I usually do is I'll time out the mode where I'll hang on to the ball, let the mode timer count down until it says one shot left until your multiball, shoot it to complete the mode, and then start the multiball. Timing out modes is a very strategic thing. Not a lot of people like to do it because they feel like they're missing out on points. But if you shoot around like a ding-dong, there's a higher chance of you draining, too. You almost got a million. Oh, Crystal Dawn. Crystal Dawn. Look, you do that like it's nothing. Like, it's no problem. But me, it's just like... I think it's your stance. You got to stand like you're... It's like you just finished throwing a bowling ball. Oh, that's like... No one's stance is ever the same. You can't... Yeah, right. Like, Lyman Sheets, have you seen him play? He's like this. Wow. But there's something about this angle that just helps him kill it. I don't understand it. Yeah. Call me. What it is is I'm mic'd, and then all the sound you're hearing from the pinball machine and Crystal and everyone that's usually here, it's just everyone has to talk to me. It makes me feel super popular. Can you hear me okay? You can hear Crystal, right? Quiet now. Crystal light. Where's the mic? I'm rubbing the mic right now. Wait, where's the microphone? It's like on your T-shirt. Is it in my t-shirt? Oh, do you guys hear rubbing? There. Hey, what's up? Welcome back to the stream, folks. We're playing Fishtails. I'm Jack Danger, your host. With me is Crystal Gambich. And I'm playing like shit. And here we go. Hope to see you folks at Expo tomorrow. So that's my spiel. Damn it. See, every time I take myself out of it, I fucking play like shit. Just barely can hear her. Oh, that's sad. I'm making some really good jokes. She is making good jokes. Wait. I do see the mic now. Jack is nice and clear. No rubbing. No rubbing. No rubbing at all. No rubbing. Just a tip. As long as I... Gross. Maybe it's good that you can't hear her, folks. Are you going to talk? Are you going to fish? Are you going to talk about tips or are you going to fish? Okay. All right. Here we go. Help me out. See, also, folks, when I'm talking to people, if I stand with them, you can hear what they're saying, I guess. I don't know. So, all right, don't trust that because that gets a little dirty. Right foot up. Hold it. Got it. Okay. So, fish finder, I think. Okay, if you feel comfortable doing these, do them. Fish render's off already, so who gives a shit? So I want to say one-third of the way down is when you want to flip that to backhanded up there. You're good. There you go. I like you, friend. Okay, hold the right flipper up. Keep holding it. Beautiful, beautiful. Just calm down and breathe. So one-third of the way down. So I will give you one tip. don't take your hands off the flipper because it's ruining your reaction time. Because I can see when you want to flip and your hand hasn't even come back to the game yet. Yeah. Ball two. Ball two. Classy, heard that. What genre is the music on Fishtails? Bill Hilly? Bill Hilly? No, man, it's... Country... Like bluegrass? Or, um... Banjo... Porch... Porch banjo. Porch banjo. You know, it's like 8-bit porch banjo music. I can imagine the guy out on the boat with his banjo, like, taking a break, scaring people for sure. He's got an electric banjo synth, and he's just making the most ridiculous... What's happening on the art? Pinball music. I actually haven't really paid attention to the... So the artwork is a guy fishing with another guy. Like his buddy. Yeah. And the guy in the back of his boat says, I'm a deviant. I'm a deviant? Oh, I'm a D-V-B. I'm a deviate. Oh, I thought it was a V. I'm a devib, dude. I'm a devib. All right, here we go. I didn't know that boats could have names. All boats are named. All boats have names. You have to have a name or it's bad luck. Let's do that. Searching Amazon for poor Spanjo records. My finger is on one. Nice. Oh, you got ripped off on the long pass. All right. Here's something else. What a lot of people do when a ball is coming around a loop, like on ACDC here, sometimes these loops drop the ball off a little dirty. Same with this. So what you do is when it's coming down the lane, there's a couple of things. Cosmogon! Thanks for joining. Thanks for the follow. You are awesome. We're playing pinball. Yeah. When it's coming. The guy on the side of the cabinet has three thumbs. What? The guy on the side of the cabinet. Oh, well, we can't see that. We can only see the sexy girl's side. There's a bearded fella here. Oh, and you've got a thumb where. Wait, what does she really do? That should be a pinky. That's a fat pinky. It's like a thumb pinky. Hold on. Let me show you folks here. Here we go. He has... I think that's just a big pinky. Sad bastard music. A minky. One minky, please. Oh, anyway, what I was saying is if the ball's coming out dirty, is to give... Let's say it's coming down the right loop here. Give it a little hit. Because what it does is it forces the wall into the ball and pushes it out more. Okay. If you do it too much, it's going to shoot it down the fucking out lane here. So you have to be real. But it at least affords you the, you know, not center draining. You feel me? Yeah, which is my problem. All right. So you win if I tilt it. But we do have new followers, so never mind. I'm going to play. I was going to let you do something. No, I wasn't going to let you do anything. Oh, okay. So here's what's going to happen. The next game, we're playing for fucking serious. Okay. None of this messing around. Our scores are dropping substantially. How does he? It's legit. Three thumbs. He does. All right. Here we go. You run to the bathroom. I'm going to play for half an hour while you're pooping. Getting one million points. Thanks for coming, everybody. This is awesome. Thursday nights are usually a slow night. usually it's just me but Crystal stopped on by to play some pinball with me if you're here Monday through Friday it's usually a lot of people here beating the crap out of each other on the specific game for the week this week it's Fishtails last week was Bram Stoker's Dracula the week before that was Metallica next week we're going to put up a poll tomorrow for you folks to vote on what the next machine is it might be ACDC Premium it might be Getaway Data East Simpsons which I would fucking hate Hotshot, we have an EM here. We have a Twilight Zone, which is juiced up. We have an Iron Man, which is a punisher of a game. But again, thanks for coming. Also, there is a link down below this for Extra Life if you folks feel like donating any money. It's for a good cause. It's kids who need some help. Super good cause. Honestly, the goal isn't that high, so if you feel like doing something awesome, and do something awesome. Anyway, let's get back to pinball and drinking beer and having fun. And again, if you folks are going to Expo, holler it out because I want to meet you folks. Please. Yeah, me too. Also, I haven't played my ball yet, so Crystal gets to go. All right. Thanks. Here's what I figured out. While you were peeing, here's what you figured out. Okay. It's like, it's like man anxiety. Like, I know slipper skills. Yeah. I know, like, how to use them. It's the same thing when I'm playing in league games. Imagine I'm not here, or some sort of underwear scenario, and play like no one's watching. Play like I'm having fun by myself. There's some deep stuff for you. Dude, what room are y'all going to have fishtails set up in? Oh, Mark, we're not bringing fishtails, brother. We are not bringing fishtails. Uh, we are bringing the stream, the setup with us, and we're going to put it on a random machine there, but we are not doing fish tails, unfortunately. For real? For real? I'd love to bring it. For real? For real? For real? Oh, I left your IPA ranking up too long. Me? Yeah. Oh, that's embarrassing. Yo, them sports crafters. How do you like my photo? It's me sat at a wedding with a bow tie. Why would you smile? No, I drank too much. Wait, oh. Click it first. There you go. Yep. Beautiful. High score. Well, I mean, I think I drank everything. That's why I was sad. I drank it all. And then no one else had anything. Okay. All right. So that was terrible. Here's what I'm going to do. Let's try some port and starboard here. Okay, let's change up our... There we go. Yay! Recovery. Are you going to rock the boat? I'm going to rock something. U-turn. Well, that shouldn't have been a U-turn, but... Thank you. Jeez Louise. I'm missing every shot I'm shooting for. Brick. Yeah, brick. More than bricks. Still excited for Saturday. Oh, yeah. Saturday's going to be rad. Oh, nice save. Yes. Woo. That felt good. Coming back. Coming back, baby. Sweetie. Oh, that's all I wanted. There it is. See? You're welcome, stream. That's how you play it. You're welcome, stream. Humble for a second. Let me just be humble for a second. You're fucking welcome. Very. Boop, boop. Oh! Just Antonio Cruz on in. Oh! Just Antonio Cruz on in. That parked itself. That was beautiful. Oh, baby. Nobody talk to me. I'm just... Salty. Somebody pour some salty. No, I... Crystal, you feeling salty? I am feeling very salty. All right. Pop it over and put it in. Oh, my God. All right. Here we go. Here we go. Stop. Let's actually get some jackpots here. Oh, my Lord. This is happening. This is all happening so fast. What is happening right now? This is how the game's played. I'm not trying to be cocky. I'm just saying I'm really excited that this is happening. Something is happening. For somebody. For somebody. Oh, no. Get in there. Wait. Yes. Yes. No? Yes. Shoot light. Wait. Shoot real. Wait. Where's the ball? Give me the ball. Feed it to me. Oh, the ultimate salt. I'm confused. I'm so confused. Well, I'm not too pissed off, because honestly, I got another ball out of nowhere for some reason. Frick. You wanted salt? I gave it to you. Wow, look at that salt. So much salt. I'll take a picture of that salt. Yo, I prefer the baby salt. They have more impact, I feel. That looks like a ham. Oh, hang on. A kosher salt? You have a kosher salt? That looks like a ham. That salt looks like dead-eat-DMD animation. Oh, no. You know, I think I should develop a show opening for this, where it's just digital DMD animations of salt being poured on people. Oh, wow. Oh, also, folks, if you're ever in the Chicagoland area and you want to be on this stream, give us a holler because we'd love to have you. Come to the studio. It's nothing but awesome guys and beer and all sorts of fun stuff. Super Panda, thanks for coming, man. We will have fun at Expo. If we actually get the stream to work, log in and check it out. Thanks for the salt. Live it. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Okay. Here's what you want. So two-thirds of the way down the flipper. Alright? It's hard to do it on the fly, but once you feel two-thirds of the way down the flipper, that's going to give you port. That was a little too far. Good fucking truss bounce, though. That was a great bounce pass. That was great. Yeah. Yeah, that's all right. It's spaghetti. Well, it's... It smells like spaghetti. What the hell? It's a spaghetti beer. This is a talent. It seems like... You're liking the spaghetti beer. Easy peasy. There you go. Pop it up. I wonder if there's a good... Calmly steamed. Thanks for coming. Hope to see you again soon. What's that? I want to pick a good specific machine to practice flipper skills on. I did all of my practicing on this. Well, that's what I learned on, and that's why I feel really pleased. I learned all my flipper abilities on ACDC, and it carries over really well. But if you're trying to learn, like, EM flipper skills, which are a completely different thing, tap passes and all that stupid shit, you need to be lucky enough to have an EM that's on free play because it's out of control. Is the tilt off or just not sensitive? What do you mean? Well, down. Thanks for coming. The tilt is on and it's not sensitive. It's just... Well, I don't know. Yeah, actually, you know, because usually... Are you saying you would tilt more? I would tilt more. Okay, so the tilt's a little easier on this one. The tilt that we had on Metallica the first week, holy crap, you couldn't breathe on that machine without it tilting, because we set that thing as high and tight as we could possibly make it. Why does Boca... I've seen some warnings. He's done a little bad thing. He has an icon because he's turbo. What does that mean? All right, check this out. I will hit this game. Here's some dangers. Oh, my God. Okay, so did the tilt fucking fall off? Okay, there it is. There you go. There you go. It's more of a side-to-side thing than it is. It's more of a side-to-side thing than it is a front-to-back. Get a little tilty. Turbo, I pay for no ads. We're also turbo, and I shall prove it by saying fart in the chat. but all the way around all the way around hold it beautiful two thirds maybe a little later don't take your hands off hold it up left now shoot it yep hold it right up oh it doesn't matter it was gone turbo high five Is there a turbo high five? Right here. Yo, folks. Turbo high five. Oh, someone in the stream was asking yesterday. My knuckles say, let's read. And heck yeah. Because I'm an adult. Let's read. Heck yeah. Let's get some multiples. Here you go. Somebody's got it right. Thanks for nothing. Thanks for noticing me. Okay, okay, okay. We're in, we're in, we're in. We're in. We're in. We're in. I just need a ball on the left flipper. Not two. Oh, my God. I hate you. Here we go. Here we go. No. Don't come back. Okay. This is good. This is good. This is good. Just like that. 32 million. 32 million. All right. Let's do it again. No, that ain't going to do it. It wouldn't be a split. I was trying to catch that. That'll do it. So one more, then I can milk the Super Jackpot for 100 mil. And then Nick Campbell will be crying. All the tears. All the tears. No, man. Oh, the slap save. You took your hand off the... Well, I needed some meat behind the slap. Okay. Here we go, here we go. So I'm just calculating my meat. Super jackpot. Oh, no, give me another, give me another. I hate you, I hate you, I love you, I love you. No! Wow. you All right, folks. I think the batteries are dying. Well, folks, I think this is a good way to end the stream. Deeth Face Up stands for dead flip. I love you guys. The stream's dying. Everyone have a good night. The mics are dying. Oh, my God. I'll see you next time. Thanks for coming, everybody. I love you. Bye. Bye. Wait. Is the mic... Dude, I just charged these damn batteries. Oh, I fell on the mic. Sorry.
