The History of Pinball

[RobertZemeckis1972]

I used to think television producers were a waste of time. But if they prevent crap like this getting on my TV, hats off to them.

[nospeedboundaries]

Good God, he's such a nerd... She's hot though

[bill739]

Molly is looking good all the time. This video was interesting all that stuff about the history of pinball I sure didn't know that. I thought pinball was just thought to be kind of a game that would be played by rough kids who might be into criminal sort of stuff.

[kith1989]

wii and kinect is cliche?

[grimbattalion]

I love pinball too_ I want to disine my own. I want to work for Gottleib.

[pucksaver95]

So old pinball machines were like Plinko?

[annesophie667]

i own two machines

[brettybluevein]

Molly makes my rocketboom!

[Dj7baylum]

pinball hall of fame : the williams collection for the Ps3 is a MUST have. I got it off Wal mart online for $18.86 with free shipping to store.

[neglectoid]

@Dj7baylum i agree, the williams collection is a must have. whats your high score on midevil madness?

[rarrmonkey]

My favourite pinball table is the one in The Accused, Molly if you ever want to experience the best pinball table ever let me know!

This is a serious offer BTW!

[pigman2222]

She'd look good slobbering on my cock.

[PepsiLuvrr]

@pigman2222 Very classy.

[StaciAutumns]

Molly is dreamy:):) *blush*

[nunka78]

[foxain]

what is one of my memories with pinball as a kid?

i was playing pinball in my grandmas toy room after a bath with a towel on my head and buck naked when i was four< my grandma walked in lol"d and took a picture of me

as of now that photo still haunts me my fiancee was going through her scrapbooks and the sticker covering my junk fell off (forgive me my keyboard isnt working so well) oh man it was emberassing x___x

[SalientK]

"It's wild, it's crazy, it's out of control."

All you do is operate a couple of flippers. Other than that, you're just watching the back knock around the machine. Wow, fascinating.

What is a Fliplash pinball game?

[t0k1d0k1eighty8]

dude open your eyes!

[carso666]

Worst highfive ever

[Smierciucha]

This guy looks like stoned faggot.

[sal7t5]

@Smierciucha what is stoned faggot

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

I want a pinball machine now! :)

[eyreland]

I remember the pinball machines of the 1980s and 1990s, and yes I would imagine their innards have become less complex since computerization. However, when it comes to gameplay there has been almost none since the 1980s -- so a quarter (or 20c for Australia + NZ) will not get one much amusement time.

[mrlizard888]

Chuck Norris Pinball? we could use his testicules to play :O

[gustavochoa]

@mrlizard888

That would unchain a series of catastrophic events that would obliterate our galaxy and two adjacent ones.

[mrlizard888]

@gustavochoa at least 9 adjacent ones o.O

[irollamazon]

Can't tell if he's gay or not. He looks like he really wants to fondle Mollys boobs.

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

@irollamazon

can you blame him? We all would!

[gurkhaboy]

@irollamazon Well she does have a lovely rack, doesn't she.

[MrCFCarePOO]

@gurkhaboy I hate the yank word 'rack',I imagine something wooden and angular for holding dishes.Breasts,bosoms,chest puppies,embonpoint,decolletage­,bristols,bazookas,melons...th­ere are many more felicitous terms.

[gurkhaboy]

@MrCFCarePOO You're absolutely right, I stand corrected. She has lovely breasts. God Bless Her.

[devourerofbabies]

Theatre of Magic. My favourite table.

[Qjemuse]

lol i was just going to find out... interested to know the history of pinball

[cricketbat08]

my older brother had Asteroids, but the operation cured him completely.

[ichbinein123]

Pokémon Pinball

Anyone?!

[originaljawz]

i would say fake and gay ... but apparently the gay isn't fake in this one ...

[luistijerina]

have I seen this guy before? well, maybe he just looks like Jimmy Fallon

[WOWJBEOWULF]

I watched this thing three-times, just to hear the year 1976, when Pinball became legal in New York City. Is this what the aging hippies are doing, raving against the Government and Christians, because their pinball was taken away, and they want it back now? I also grew up on MTV, and those videos seem tame these days. New York City must have changed, I room-mated with someone from the Big Apple, and he found the only porn shop within 30-miles and asked for a lift from me for the trip.

[WOWJBEOWULF]

Pinball became legal in the year 1976 in New York City. Wow, I grew up with the decadent generation, arcades were everywhere; even the monster mash pizza parlor. What next, porn on television at night with adult toy sales, wait... At least they are redirecting the masked masturbators on Chatroulette to the Hustler site: We meet again, says the Batman mask, oh yes, says the Joker mask, and they have no pants.  I feel like everyone had jobs before the year 1976, they wanted honor.

[1955RodHot]

When does the Rocketboom and/or Molly pinball machine come out???

[GmasterRED]

4:14 naughty molly :0

anyway, Molly does this better then the ginger behmoth.

[GmasterRED]

I like tetris, pinball is alright. I'm level 15 on tetris friends. Not too shabby, if I do say so.

[FindYourself108]

I never played Pinball until Windows XP

[ShadowOfIce]

This was a nice trip down memory lane, innocent but nostalgic. And I never knew pinball was illegal! xD Thanks for the upload~ Makes me wanna get a machine now. Ah.. Adam's Family pinball machine, how I miss you.

[Rocky183]

I wanna make a pinball machine that eats a coin, the ball is launched in the holes where it's impossible to him them, you lose without having a chance at it, and the the machine gives back your coin (just so it isn't illegal)

[iJohnGame]

You can make my ROCKETBOOM

[optikfiber]

Molly is a geek. YES! Arcade Games are sooo cool.

[lalaliam]

good vid

[igykalen]

Tetris the arcade game?

[KaineSpawnX]

I used to play an old Dr. Who pinball game at the skating rink every week as a kid. I never even watched Dr. Who.

[thegodofs]

@KaineSpawnX Best. series. ever.

[canada995]

I love tits, I love pussy, I love nice ass, and I love u Molly

[Gothtecdotcom]

Pong!

[cpdavngr]

When I was in Las Vegas last year, a friend of mine took me to a place called the Pinball Museum. They had all sorts of antique and new pinball machines and video games that you could play. Google it and you'll find it. It was quite nostalgic. :)

[gulllars]

4:00 is false. There are programs that can account for friction and physics and anything the ball can do. You actually can do it pretty accurately with simple newtonian physics.

Ever heard of PhysX? They made dedicated physics cards for videogames untill nVidia bought them and integrated the tech into normal graphics cards. Now adays most new games use advanced physics. Racing games are a good example, where instead of viewing the car as one unit, it calculates forces for all parts.

[GETURGUNS]

Yeah Molly, exactly what is "Pimboll"?

[imTKA]

I remember playing Creature of the black Lagoon pinball, it was EPIC!

[n6djs]

My uncles had an old electromechanical type machine in my grandmas basement that I use to sneak away to play

[ProNorden]

Isn't this story/assignment more RBNYC/ Ella Morton territory?

[freesk8]

Prohibition is so stupid.

People have a natural right to do whatever they like as long as they aren't hurting anyone else or violating the rights of anyone else.

Dang politicians.

[jnthnbush]

@freesk8 I think the reason they stopped it was they felt it was hurting people, though probably indirectly.

[freesk8]

@jnthnbush Hammers hurt people. I hit myself on the thumb once. Some people have been murdered with hammers. Should we outlaw them?

NO! The govt has no right protecting us from OURSELVES!

Things like pinball, gambling, pot, prostitution, goose liver pate, energy drinks with booze, happy meals and alcohol must never be illegal.

It is not a proper function of the govt!

It's like outlawing steak because babies shouldn't eat it!

We must take responsibility for our own lives, or lose freedom.

[thegodofs]

@freesk8 ya but then I think health bills will go up and people would be forced the incress taxes to help support the larger amount of work going into this. also if that were true I bet there'd be a fuck load more deaths and it's not like theres a cemetary on every block.

[doomtrigger]

I love molly

[jnthnbush]

@doomtrigger no, I love molly!

[doomtrigger]

@jnthnbush NO I LOVE MOLLY I SAW HER FIRST SO SHE IS MINE lol

[m0r1arty]

That deaf, dumb and blind kid....sure enjoyed this episode of Rocketboom.

...Due to his inability to perceive it.

[HeyRadialMoon]

My fave of all time is Gottlieb's "El Dorado". Two sets of drop targets, lower and UPPER flippers, a very exciting old electro-mechanical game.

[Hemulen40]

TILT ! ( :

[southwest702]

i've never herd of pinbowl

[FriedBlubber]

He's a pinball wizard There's got to be a twist A pinball wizard He's got such a supple wrist

[ShadowXloner]

In my family I'm known as the "Pinball Guru". I'm wicked crazy skilled at pinball, and I don't even tilt! Even on computer pinball, tilting to me is like the path to the dark side.

[Cakevspie94]

Lol Pinball is the orgin of all evil!

[LeadpipeStudios]

@Cakevspie94 you either meant that pinball is the origin of all evil or the organ of all evil - in which case, pinball is evil's penis?

Orthography - do you have it?

[theflorgeormix]

Seth - great Contributor - Is this the History Channel...Molly still first heart of the interworld

[2bazar]

We had ours upstairs for 20 years. It was a retired electro mechanical style with solenoid bumpers that had to be replaced periodically and various connectors and plastic and metal parts would have to be repair or fabricated from time to time. My kids and their friends played for years and I finally sold it to a collector after the kids left home. It was about 5 feet tall and 6 feet long and we needed the room. I miss it but at least the kids grew up with a great pinball machine. Somewhere is a

[geargemartin]

i knew this deaf dumb and blind kid WHO played a mean pinball.

[hermanoguzman]

I remember playing Resident Evil 2 when I was 5

[alltimemovie]

love the new camera angle!

[BigAndTall666]

Pin Those Balls!

[fsmetal]

How do you think he does it? I don't know! What makes him so good?

That deaf, dumb, blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

[KennethMichaels]

You forgot to say the date.

[MyInterwebs]

I love old arcade games too, but apparently i'm alone in this subject around my age group as it seems everyone who is 21 at this moment is more interested in other stuff. *sigh*

[mashamazuki]

@MyInterwebs totally not true have loved pinball since forever and no new technology will take it away!

[Dinocoviola]

This man is TOO excited with pinball... good video anyway!

[jcasetnl]

If you are going to use images from Pacific Pinball Museum, it might be nice if you credited them in your video.

[theflorgeormix]

Seth is a member of the tribe, they're just more affectionate

[docrobphotostop]

sure play a meme pin ball!

[NormN354]

@docrobphotostop Good one!

[joen0411]

I remember having to stand on a milk crate to play pinball. I had no idea what I was doing, but I loved it.

[theflorgeormix]

Scared of Asteroids - too addictive

[MattDoesNotRock]

did he set anyone else's gay-dar off?

[ioripl]

Most awkward high five ever.

[CMDRKillsalot]

Molly, I am a self aware version of Pinball. That means, YOU LOVE ME! YAY!!!

[azumaninjay]

He ain't got no distractions

Can't hear those buzzers and bells

Don't see lights a flashin'

Plays by sense of smell

Always gets a replay

Never tilts at all

That deaf, dumb and blind kid

Sure plays a mean pinball

[pokiebaron]

Asteroids!! :-)

[Elephantintheroom01]

I like to pretend i am arcade games, centipede, tetras and pinball when i listen to Mollie....

[TigerOfKarlstad]

I'm illegal too, love me. :)

[LaCokaNostra81]

molly playing with balls :).....

[thefranstastics]

Seth has a huge skull.

[AdriaanOos]

Molly XD

[dbthanatos]

Molly's lips.

[victorcelmare]

im for the future and i remember when weed was illigal ahhh..i got alot of fond memories about weed :)

[QJosephP]

@victorcelmare You mean you're FROM the future?

[ONQproductions]

Pinbot RULES!

[ELuhn]

Does anyone remember pre-video video games like Red Baron and Night Raid?

They worked with some kind of elaborate piano-roll affair.

Please don't let me be the oldest nerd on YT...

[jawayetti]

I am the pinball wizard!

[theDracoIX]

Right when you thought Molly couldn't get any weirder...

[Devon187]

1:45 there's also a young chinese asian child worker in there :)

[livvy12kip]

i love all the diaster/armaggedon pinball games oh and dinosaur attacks too

[cricketbat08]

2:34 I think Molly raises her hand to indicate she is a pinball fan, but that bloke thinks she is reaching for a high five. D'oh!

[Prytonis]

That deaf dumb and blind girl sure plays a mean pinball.

Plus she makes me smile :-)

[Itsooz]

Something about this guy annoys me. Like he prefers pinball to his girlfriend.

[bladereaper3]

@Itsooz He has a girlfriend?

[catrinxenobia]

3:12 <3

[KidChaos878]

I liked the Simpsons pinball machine. Its very challenging but very fun too.

[thefranstastics]

When you're a kid with only a few quarters, it's all about getting free replays.

[StripyTie12]

Does anyone else here really give enough of a shit about pinball to watch a 4 and a half minute video about it? because i sure as hell don't.

[WhatMotivatesYou]

@StripyTie12 You cared enough to comment

[PREM00SE]

2:34 awkward highfives FTW!

[SloCheetah13]

@PREM00SE Embrace the awkwardness!

[jnthnbush]

@PREM00SE omg... that was painful.

[thefranstastics]

We had a few pinball and pachinko machines in our game room growing up. All time favorite is "Earthshaker." Also, that was an incredibly awkward hi-five.

[flibber123]

It's a good thing government officials focused on fighting pinball during the Depression. If it wasn't for those efforts our economy may have never recovered.

[peruface]

playing pinball right now

[TimmyTurnersDad]

I have fond memories of playing the pinball game included in Windows XP :D

[VC11122]

Me and my grandpa used to play pinball all the time when I was little. This was a very interesting episode today, Molly. And you looked very interested in everything that guy had to say. Lets me know you really care about the things you cover. :)

[OmgItsCHEEZ]

OMGah! MONSTER BASH FTW!!! XDD

[Stripdancer100]

Molly, you looked like you were a little bit confused during the interview...

Anyway, thank you for this episode, it was a really interesting one!

[ARproxc]

say bubye to ps3 and say hi again to pinball machine...HAHA!

[j0m0r]

during that particularly rainy holidays, I became a Pinball master. I'm talking about 10.000.000+ points on a daily basis here.

The End.

what a story..

[olikard]

Is there an inception pinball machine?

[arad7613]

Molly, sitting closer to the camera really works. Keep it that way.

More Molly in the frame = Win.

And another interesting vid. I wasn't aware of pinball's nefarious past. I understand the Who's 'Tommy' better now.

[Otakkun]

I love pinball! I went camping once and spent more time playing the FIFA 93 pinball game that was at the convenience store than actually camping! But my favorite machine has to be the one based of the first Lord of the Rings movie. That was an awesome layout.

Great episode! And strangely released so soon after Marvel announces their pinball arcade game. Hmm...

[SschmierFink]

More than $ minutes talking about Pinball and not mentioning The Who. Congtaulations Rocket Boom!

[milkmanmonroe]

That bonehead Beybieur is on tv--it's your turn Molly!

[coolstream1]

Molly was never a child, she hatched from her egg fully matured and covered in slime!

I've seen the picks, you can't fool us any longer!

[DjHalo007]

I love Molly she may always play with my balls

and yes I totally mean that in a sexy way

[MatthewMarkMendoza]

Thumbs up for Molly's eyes.

[rbekers26]

@MatthewMarkMendoza BUT THEN SHE CAN'T SEE!

[Akaineth]

I dont know which i love more Molly or pinball

[DrFishcake]

So what Seth's saying, is that thanks to idiot lawmakers some potentially highly valuable machines are gone forever? Damn, yet another reason to despise the lawmakers.

[TrueSoreThumb]

@DrFishcake Agreed.

[hendrykicksass]

hi molly

are you attached?

(:

[Denamic]

5000 points from beating the highscore, and the stupid ball went straight down the hole.

Luckily, I had one more ball.

...that also went straight down the hole.

Never touched a pinball machine since.

[dovermoreno]

Molly, when I was your age, we didn't HAVE pinball machines. We rolled a rock around in a tin can and we LIKED it !!!

[wulffeld]

@dovermoreno Wow, you had a tin can? Boy, you were lucky. I had to build a box out of wood with my bare hands then roll myself around in it while making the sound of a metal ball.

[Dylanyo123]

@wulffeld win

[SunnyPhillyDanny]

No programming for friction or other physics?

wut?

[zyniker88]

Give me Final Fight in an arcade over some Pinball any day.

[Massap2]

Pinball meh, I can do without...

[spleenandpie]

pinball is super awsome

[edgehaedjr]

I love pinball.

[maksphoto78]

Molly, I'd like to see you giving someone a hug :)

[ShadowFlarer]

holy shit, is strange but molly loks like more beuty

[drheadshot12]

[mynogu]

Hello, Molly!

[PsychoPretzel]
