And not just any pinball machine. This is their Dungeons and Dragons pinball machine celebrating 50 years of DN D. And I can't wait to check it out. We got their premium edition. There's three different trim levels. And look at this region one. As excited as I am, I do feel a little personally attacked. The box is too tall for me to cut the top. And really, you got to put that right on the front. I'm not going to do that. There's special instructions for how to open these. You're supposed to cut the front corner. Is that the right side? Yeah, I think so. Supposed to do the one that says truck from this side. I saw truck from this side. Miss the do not. I mean, in fairness to me, the truck was in the way. We call this a hand truck. I don't know if that's the terminology elsewhere in the world, but we call it that. New plan, banana strategy. We got to peel this biz. Aside from Stern's legendary quality, highlights of this set include, wow, the artwork, soundtrack, an incredible cast that includes Michael Dorne as the dragon, what they're calling the most advanced animatronic to ever be included in a pinball machine. Not to mention iconic enemies like Zanithar the Beholder and Gelatinous Cube. Apparently, the gelatinous cube is electromagnetic. It's like a ball trap. I don't know. I haven't tried any of this yet, but I'm very excited, too. Belle, I may need some help. You haven't peeled the only side you need to peel. Hey, look at that. Comes with legs and everything. What a value. Oh my goodness. Look at this setup guide. It's so thick. Oh, thank goodness. It's just multiple languages. For those of you who are wondering what makes a pinball machine tech, I didn't realize it either until I saw one of their machines at CES with the backing off and I was like, damn. Ah, leg bolts. There they are. Let's go. Ooh, everything about this thing just screams quality. Look at that like wrinkled black powder coat finish. I love it. Also very durable. You can tell it's built for commercial use. Carefully set the game down on its front legs. Game is heavy. Two people recommended. Again, personally attacked. Oh, it's really heavy. Okay. How the devil are you supposed to put the back legs on it? Oh, right. Using supports or two people prop the rear of the cabinet up to install the rear legs. Oh boy. Oh my god, it looks so good. Look at the cube. The gelatinous cube has a mace in it and a skull and a hammer. Remember kids, lift with your back in a twisting, jerking motion. It's more important to get every bolt started than to get any bolt completed right now. Wow, you're so strong. Yeah, you definitely want to have like two friends. Um, if you have a pinball machine, I mean, if you can afford a pinball machine, you can probably afford two, friends. Okay. You want to switch? Nope. Nope. I just want that bolt in. See, now I get why Elijah has this weird father thing with you. I kind of I'm kind of feeling it right now, too. That dragon. Oh, sorry. I got distracted. Oh, okay. We got to deal with the cable management. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. I got distracted. Okay. How can they put documentation on top of this play surface? Like I'm going to even be able to see this. That looks incredible. We've got all these different class selections, locations, objectives. One of the most appealing things about this particular game to me is that unlike my 1993 uh quarter steeler design, uh this one is very focused on gameplay. And not only can you achieve a variety of different endings, but they actually even have like different weekly items and stuff like that. I I have no idea how that works. Um other than I guess you have to be connected to the internet for that. Oh, almost certainly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That makes sense. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. We got to bolt this on. Comes with a little treasure box with more accessories. This is so much fun. I actually treated myself to a pinball machine for the uh premium lounge at Smash Champs Badmon Center recently, but because it was an older one. It's a 1993 Twilight Zone machine, I didn't really get the fun of setting it up myself. There they are. Oh, they're very, very greasy. I assume we wipe them down, but you know what? We'll get to those in a minute. No way. a service and operations manual that actually gives you like pin outs on everything and whole schematic and everything. It looks like Stern hasn't forgotten about right to repair. To be clear, they are still the proprietary manufacturer of a lot of the replacement parts you'll need, but at least they give you a manual for how to put it all back together. Have you actually looked at the side art? It's a dragon riding a dragon. It's so cool. There's like a golden dragon guy versus like a necro guy with like a Oh, it's like the Black Knight. It's but a flesh wound. I don't actually D and D. I just think this is really cool and I liked the movie. Mhm. I I waited until this point in the video to expose myself as a filthy casual. It says the first page of the manual tells us how many pinballs to put on the play surface. Yeah, we have the premium one, which means the dragon actually shoots more balls of the base version. Really? Maybe it's harder. Does it say if we should clean our balls before putting them in? Seems like a good idea. Well, yeah, but they have um like they're all lubed up and I thought maybe that's to make them not rust. It does make it easier for entry. No, I Why you got to make it like that? What? It has to be able to slide along the rails and stuff, right? We'll get to these in a second. First, we need to install our plumb bob. So, this is just a weight that sits on a little wire that affects how sensitive the machine is to tilt. So, the higher up we put it, the more sensitive it is. The lower we put it, the less sensitive it is. So, um I think tilting is cheating. So, I'm going to put it up pretty high. And it's touching the side of the ring. We are definitely going to have to level the machine. It is not level. These are both left hands. You're not left-handed. I mean, I have one left hand. We're smart. We can figure things out. Eight balls. There it is. We found it. Okay. So the glass should come forward. Nice. See? Painless. Dude, look at it. Okay. Careful. Careful. It's on the teeth. There you go. Check this out. You can steal gold from the dragon. And apparently the dragon has an omniirectional impact sensor. Whatever that means. A total of one, two, three flippers. This is cool. You can activate a shield. See, there's one ball in here already. Is that just stuck there forever? Uh, yeah, cuz you hit it into the other sensor, I think. Oh, you wagging. That's so cool. All right. How do we install these balls? You just drop them on the play surface lightly. Gently. I mean, it's going to go hard later. And they just Yeah. Um, you lost. Something I didn't mention is apparently there's roglike elements to the progression. So, you can like character build. Okay. Oh, setup right. That makes sense. Oh, sponsor.

I broke nothing. Oh, sick. Yeah, you missed it. I turned it on and it just like fired a bunch of balls up. I think it was preloading them in the dragon, I think. Oh. Uh-oh. All right, here we go. Sick. Um, I found this. Remove shipping material cable ties from playfield bottom side before operation. Cuz there's these. Yeah, there you go. Wa, buddy. How far do we need to pull it? I don't know. I could kind of want to check it out now. Woo. No, it's just the balls. Clippers. Oh, yeah. There it is. Oh, do you have the Wow, look at it. Is that beautiful or what? Look at all these custom boards. Couple interesting things. Number one is check this out. Boom. Got it. We're good. Also, there's a loose cotter pin in there somewhere. Bel, can you grab that? Oh, yeah. I don't know where that came from, but it's in there. Okay. Cool. Oh, wait. Um, needs to go down. Oh, that side can go up. Perfect. Oh, shoot. They're good. Never mind. No, I don't even I don't even need the wrench. They're loose. Okay. Uh, how's the bubble doing? We are all pretty much dead center. Ah, nice. After all that, perfection. Here we go.
