I'll be watching, but not live. Work got in the way.

Same here Spider. How are you liking your new GOT game?
Quoted from Who-Dey:Same here Spider. How are you liking your new GOT game?
I'm liking it alot. I need to work on basic more. My games are 10 mil when I get try to hard and don't cash in. Around 350 mil most the time and 650 mil some. Still haven't lite more than three houses, so no HOTK for me. Trying to learn shots for each house so I'll know shot is needed. I have played all house but not Tyrell or Martell. Played about 10 game today as Grayjoy. Got pissed and played a couple Aerosmith to calm down. But short version, loving it.

The game definitely isnt as easy as it seems like it would be thats for sure. When i first got mine i thought that i would be dominating it in no time because it seemed easy just casually flippng around in it, but once you start trying to complete objectives you find out real quick that its not so easy. Watch Chucks 6 part tutorial and you will score much higher i guarantee it. He explains rules in there that i had no idea were even the rules. Chuckwurt is the master at GOT.

Yes I have Chuck on board (been watching). I can nail the left ramp to start a mode or hit it 9 times in a row, but under pressure with time counting down I'll miss that shot or one of my favorite the spinner and ball comes flying back at full force. SDTM. I need to take a shot or two before I play (whisky). Lol
But yes Chuck is the rule master of GoT. With that playfield validation, I don't know how many times I walked away only to see I was still up and the auto plunger doesn't shoot the ball. That is a big help. I never knew about midnight madness on this machine. Brother in-law was playing when it happened. Though it tilted or power went out. That was cool.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Man. I can’t wait to get my GOT back. Haha
I bet, its been gone awhile now for sure.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Man. I can’t wait to get my GOT back.
Buddy, I feel the same way about my MET. Glad you're having fun with it, but also VERY glad we just traded for six months. Only a month and a half to go. Still having fun with your GoT, though. Going to EXPO next weekend on Saturday, and picking up a free Gottlieb Bronco from a childhood friend while I'm there.

Nice score!! Bronco is awesome.
Yeah can’t wait to switch back, but so glad we did it. Now I don’t have to buy one!
Have fun at Expo!!

Final Metallica stream tonight! We are going to make some software adjustments and hopefully make End of the Line.
Come hang out at 8 pm!

Sounds like 10 balls & tilt off to me. That's the "End of the Line". 
Quoted from Spiderpin:Sounds like 10 balls & tilt off to me. That's the "End of the Line".
Wrong on both accounts!
We will make all the changes at the start of the stream. Tune in at 8 sharp!
Jesus Christ on a popsicle stick. We had the stream freeze for the last 15-20 mins!!!
I get my local recording onto YT ASAP.
Fuck!!! My local recording is messed too! God damn my computer.
Well anyway we got to End of the Line. It’s a pretty cool mode but honestly not as great as I expected.
Anywho, that’s the last time I’ll ever stream this game. Sorry my computer effed up.

Quoted from Spiderpin:Strange indeed, first hour was great with no lag whatsoever.
Yeah it’s 100% my CPU. From time to time the endcoder gets overloaded and the recording fucks up. So I’m told if I go from i5 to a faster i7, it will fix all that. I haven’t gotten around to it yet.

but didn't witness it.
Quoted from Pickle:Pics/video or it didn’t happen LOL!
Actually tried to watch but couldn’t find the live stream. Just the old ones.

Watch, or I should say, listen to the last 10-15 mins. Haha
Just so everyone here knows what settings we used last night:
Increased ball save timer on all CIU modes and initial ball save.
Had extra ball awarded every 50 million up to 200 million.
Items required to collect for crank it up modes decreased from 15 to 8 each. With it increasing by 1 each round instead of 2.
I honestly think it makes the game a bit more fun. It rewards you for advancing further in the game, scoring higher scores.
Also just for fun, let’s put the wood chopping of MET into perspective:
With stock settings:
Shots to get to the first crank it up mode:
At least 22-23, but could take up to 60.
Shots to get to the second crank it up:
At least 25-26, but could take up to 68.
Shots to make it to the third crank it up:
At least 29-30, but could take up to 76.
Shots to make it to the fourth crank it up:
At least 32-33, but could take up to 84.
Then to light End of The Line:
At least 35-36, but could take up to 92 shots.
So if you played very efficiently and hit only shots with all the inserts lit and never started Seek and Destroy, you could have End of the Line lit with about:
143 shots.
Haha. But realistically it would take somewhere between:
144 to 380 shots. Hahaha
In summary, get out your axes if you’re going for End of the Line on stock settings.

Going on a bit of a break here with Pincinnati looming. Might not get time to stream until a week or two after the show!
My goal is to have at least one stream of one of the new games at the show so keep your notifications on!
Thanks.

In case you didn’t figure out from my pic, we’re streaming WWF Royal Rumble this week!
This is a widebody from Data East. 1994. One of the last Data East games ever made.
Lots of modes, a very challenging multiball with neat rules, and one of the best upper playfields I’ve ever played.
Come hang with me on Tuesday night! Probably start at 8 pm, but could be a little bit after that as my daughter has a Xmas pageant at school.
