WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.319 Legend has it that if you mention pinball on your late night TV 00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:12.320 appearance, Stern will send you a pinball machine to unbox. And not just 00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:14.880 any pinball machine. This is their 00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:20.560 Dungeons and Dragons pinball machine celebrating 50 years of DN D. And I 00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:26.160 can't wait to check it out. We got their premium edition. There's three different 00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:28.800 trim levels. And look at this 00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:32.640 region one. As excited as I am, I do feel a little personally attacked. The 00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:40.200 box is too tall for me to cut the top. And really, you got to put that right on 00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:40.200 the front. I'm not going to do that. 00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:49.000 There's special instructions for how to open these. You're supposed to cut the 00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:49.000 front corner. 00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:55.440 Is that the right side? Yeah, I think so. Supposed to do the one that says 00:00:53.440 --> 00:01:01.199 truck from this side. I saw truck from this side. 00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:03.359 Miss the do not. I mean, in fairness to 00:01:01.199 --> 00:01:06.159 me, the truck was in the way. We call this a hand truck. I don't know if 00:01:04.720 --> 00:01:11.280 that's the terminology elsewhere in the world, but we call it that. New plan, 00:01:08.960 --> 00:01:15.119 banana strategy. We got to peel this biz. 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:20.240 Aside from Stern's legendary quality, highlights of this set include, 00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:26.799 wow, the artwork, soundtrack, an incredible 00:01:23.759 --> 00:01:29.360 cast that includes Michael Dorne as the 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:34.159 dragon, what they're calling the most advanced animatronic to ever be included 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:40.000 in a pinball machine. Not to mention iconic enemies like Zanithar the 00:01:36.479 --> 00:01:41.840 Beholder and Gelatinous Cube. 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:45.360 Apparently, the gelatinous cube is electromagnetic. It's like a ball trap. 00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:51.200 I don't know. I haven't tried any of this yet, but I'm very excited, too. 00:01:48.479 --> 00:01:56.560 Belle, I may need some help. You haven't peeled the only side you need to peel. 00:01:54.399 --> 00:01:59.600 Hey, look at that. Comes with legs and 00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:05.840 everything. What a value. Oh my goodness. Look at 00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:07.200 this setup guide. It's so thick. Oh, 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:11.200 thank goodness. It's just multiple languages. For those of you who are 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:15.120 wondering what makes a pinball machine tech, I didn't realize it either until I 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:25.000 saw one of their machines at CES with the backing off and I was like, damn. 00:02:18.480 --> 00:02:25.000 Ah, leg bolts. There they are. Let's go. 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:34.160 Ooh, everything about this thing just screams quality. Look at that like 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:37.280 wrinkled black powder coat finish. I 00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:40.160 love it. Also very durable. You can tell 00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:45.599 it's built for commercial use. Carefully set the game down on its front legs. 00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:48.480 Game is heavy. Two people recommended. 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:53.280 Again, personally attacked. Oh, it's really heavy. 00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:58.720 Okay. How the devil are you supposed to put 00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:02.560 the back legs on it? Oh, right. 00:02:58.720 --> 00:03:04.400 Using supports or two people prop the 00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:09.000 rear of the cabinet up to install the rear legs. Oh boy. 00:03:09.920 --> 00:03:15.760 Oh my god, it looks so good. Look at the 00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:21.840 cube. The gelatinous cube has a mace in it and a skull and a hammer. Remember 00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:25.519 kids, lift with your back in a twisting, jerking motion. It's more important to 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:28.959 get every bolt started than to get any bolt completed right now. Wow, you're so 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:33.519 strong. Yeah, you definitely want to have like two friends. Um, if you have a 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:40.959 pinball machine, I mean, if you can afford a pinball machine, you can probably afford two, friends. Okay. You 00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:45.360 want to switch? Nope. Nope. I just want that bolt in. 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:50.599 See, now I get why Elijah has this weird father thing with you. I kind of I'm 00:03:46.720 --> 00:03:50.599 kind of feeling it right now, too. 00:03:52.400 --> 00:04:00.879 That dragon. Oh, sorry. I got distracted. Oh, okay. We got to deal with the cable management. Sorry. Sorry. 00:03:56.640 --> 00:04:03.519 Sorry. I got distracted. Okay. 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:08.480 How can they put documentation on top of this play surface? Like I'm going to 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:13.040 even be able to see this. That looks incredible. We've got all these 00:04:10.640 --> 00:04:17.040 different class selections, locations, objectives. One of the most appealing 00:04:15.200 --> 00:04:23.280 things about this particular game to me is that unlike my 1993 uh quarter 00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:26.400 steeler design, uh this one is very 00:04:23.280 --> 00:04:28.320 focused on gameplay. And not only can 00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:32.479 you achieve a variety of different endings, but they actually even have 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:37.520 like different weekly items and stuff like that. I I have no idea how that 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:41.120 works. Um other than I guess you have to be connected to the internet for that. 00:04:39.440 --> 00:04:44.000 Oh, almost certainly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That makes sense. Okay. Okay. 00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:48.320 Okay. Okay. Okay. We got to bolt this on. Comes with a little treasure box 00:04:46.080 --> 00:04:53.120 with more accessories. This is so much fun. I actually treated myself to a 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:57.199 pinball machine for the uh premium lounge at Smash Champs Badmon Center 00:04:55.199 --> 00:05:03.040 recently, but because it was an older one. It's a 1993 Twilight Zone machine, 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:08.080 I didn't really get the fun of setting it up myself. 00:05:06.080 --> 00:05:12.639 There they are. Oh, they're very, very greasy. I assume 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:17.360 we wipe them down, but you know what? We'll get to those in a minute. No way. 00:05:14.960 --> 00:05:21.919 a service and operations manual that actually gives you like pin outs on 00:05:19.520 --> 00:05:25.919 everything and whole schematic and everything. 00:05:23.440 --> 00:05:29.840 It looks like Stern hasn't forgotten about right to repair. To be clear, they 00:05:28.080 --> 00:05:33.280 are still the proprietary manufacturer of a lot of the replacement parts you'll 00:05:31.520 --> 00:05:36.000 need, but at least they give you a manual for how to put it all back 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:40.639 together. Have you actually looked at the side art? It's a dragon riding a 00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:45.440 dragon. It's so cool. There's like a golden dragon guy versus like a necro 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:50.000 guy with like a Oh, it's like the Black Knight. It's but a flesh wound. 00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:53.680 I don't actually D and D. I just think this is really cool and I liked the 00:05:51.440 --> 00:05:58.400 movie. Mhm. I I waited until this point in the video to expose myself as a 00:05:55.280 --> 00:06:00.080 filthy casual. 00:05:58.400 --> 00:06:04.000 It says the first page of the manual tells us how many pinballs to put on the 00:06:01.919 --> 00:06:07.280 play surface. Yeah, we have the premium one, which means the dragon actually 00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:10.960 shoots more balls of the base version. Really? Maybe it's harder. Does it say 00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:16.880 if we should clean our balls before putting them in? Seems like a good idea. 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:20.400 Well, yeah, but they have um like they're all lubed up and I thought maybe 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:26.720 that's to make them not rust. It does make it easier for entry. No, I Why you 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:30.000 got to make it like that? What? It has to be able to slide along the rails and 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:33.039 stuff, right? We'll get to these in a second. First, 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:37.199 we need to install our plumb bob. So, this is just a weight that sits on a 00:06:34.960 --> 00:06:41.120 little wire that affects how sensitive the machine is to tilt. So, the higher 00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:45.199 up we put it, the more sensitive it is. The lower we put it, the less sensitive 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:48.000 it is. So, um I think tilting is cheating. So, I'm going to put it up 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:54.000 pretty high. And it's touching the side of the ring. We are definitely going to have to level the machine. It is not 00:06:51.280 --> 00:06:59.120 level. These are both left hands. You're not 00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:04.240 left-handed. I mean, I have one left hand. We're smart. We can figure things 00:07:01.520 --> 00:07:08.479 out. Eight balls. There it is. We found it. 00:07:05.840 --> 00:07:13.400 Okay. So the glass should come 00:07:10.400 --> 00:07:13.400 forward. 00:07:13.919 --> 00:07:21.440 Nice. See? Painless. Dude, look at it. Okay. 00:07:19.599 --> 00:07:25.520 Careful. Careful. It's on the teeth. There you go. 00:07:23.840 --> 00:07:30.160 Check this out. You can steal gold from the dragon. And apparently the dragon 00:07:27.599 --> 00:07:35.680 has an omniirectional impact sensor. Whatever that means. A total of one, 00:07:33.039 --> 00:07:40.080 two, three flippers. This is cool. You can activate a shield. See, there's one 00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:44.080 ball in here already. Is that just stuck there forever? Uh, 00:07:42.880 --> 00:07:50.560 yeah, cuz you hit it into the other sensor, I think. Oh, you wagging. 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:54.800 That's so cool. All right. How do we install these balls? You just drop them 00:07:51.840 --> 00:07:59.720 on the play surface lightly. Gently. I mean, it's going to go hard later. And 00:07:56.400 --> 00:07:59.720 they just Yeah. 00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:07.919 Um, you lost. Something I didn't mention 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:14.280 is apparently there's roglike elements to the progression. So, you can like 00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:14.280 character build. 00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:23.440 Okay. Oh, setup right. That makes sense. 00:08:21.840 --> 00:08:27.360 Oh, sponsor.

Stern knows it. Canada number one. 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:14.279 Nice. 00:09:14.880 --> 00:09:23.120 Okay, that might be a bit much though.

Did you just 00:09:27.680 --> 00:09:38.080 register this to your personal stern account? Well, I mean, it's going to be mine anyways. You broke mine. 00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:39.600 I broke nothing. Oh, sick. Yeah, you 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:45.120 missed it. I turned it on and it just like fired a bunch of balls up. I think 00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:49.760 it was preloading them in the dragon, 00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:52.080 I think. Oh. Uh-oh. 00:09:49.760 --> 00:09:56.000 All right, here we go. Sick. Um, I found this. 00:09:53.600 --> 00:10:01.120 Remove shipping material cable ties from playfield bottom side before operation. 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:05.440 Cuz there's these. Yeah, there you go. Wa, buddy. 00:10:02.959 --> 00:10:09.279 How far do we need to pull it? I don't know. I could kind of want to check it 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:15.200 out now. Woo. No, it's just the balls. Clippers. 00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:19.920 Oh, yeah. There it is. Oh, 00:10:16.880 --> 00:10:22.399 do you have the Wow, look at it. Is that 00:10:19.920 --> 00:10:26.800 beautiful or what?

We're good. 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:37.920 Also, there's a loose cotter pin in there somewhere. Bel, can you grab that? 00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:43.680 Oh, yeah. I don't know where that came from, but it's in there. 00:10:40.800 --> 00:10:49.440 Okay. Cool. 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:52.160 Oh, wait. Um, 00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:56.240 needs to go down.

Uh, how's the bubble doing? We are 00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:10.680 all pretty much dead center. Ah, nice. After all that, 00:11:12.160 --> 00:11:18.480 perfection. Here we go. We set up automatic software updates. Sync Belle's 00:11:16.160 --> 00:11:24.480 account. Oh my god. Impossible play. 00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:26.959 Monster play. Dude, there's so many 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:33.279 modes. All randomness removed. 00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:40.079 To power it off. Listen to game music. Okay. Normal play. 00:11:38.079 --> 00:11:44.640 The mod is hatching a new plan to escape her banishment. 00:11:42.079 --> 00:11:47.760 Oh, I get to select a character. Choice.

Wait, this still 00:12:00.560 --> 00:12:06.880 says player one, select character. Oh, I see. I think maybe it's this. It's 00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:13.600 flashing. Wait, use right flipper to choose character. Yeah, and the left is 00:12:09.040 --> 00:12:16.560 the town. Oh, hold on. Okay, hold on. 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:22.160 There begins the green.

Dude, we need to be so much better at this to 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:57.680 complete any quests. It's hard to look at the screen and the table. Like, what 00:12:55.279 --> 00:13:01.760 just happened? Uh, something. I I heard Michael Dorne, though, so the dragon was 00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:07.760 involved. Oh. Oh, I saved my ball. Okay. 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:10.720 Okay, I did that again. Wait, I did. Oh. Oh, it's a good thing we removed that 00:13:08.959 --> 00:13:15.360 zip tie. Yeah. Whoa. Oh, I did the thing. Dungeon crawl. Dungeon crawl. 00:13:12.160 --> 00:13:17.200 Let's go. 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:22.680 Shoot purple arrows to move forward. Are you going to that ramp or? Yeah. Yeah. 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:22.680 Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm going to try. 00:13:28.959 --> 00:13:34.200 Come on. No. No. No. Come on. 00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:41.519 You hate to see it. 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:46.399 Okay, wait. Wait. How do we activate the dragon? I think you're Yo, the dragon. 00:13:45.040 --> 00:13:50.720 Oh, here it comes. Here it comes. Shield. Shield's up. I got the shield. 00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:54.320 Well, we lost. Wait, we lost one.
