Hello and welcome to this let's play where we will be experiencing the joys of Peggle, a game about scoring points through making pegs dissappear by shooting them with balls, aided by super powers granted to you by bizarre talking animals. I daresay there is no one more qualified than me to guide you through this experience, given that I have exactly 2029 hours of Peggle logged in Steam at the time of writing this. But enough words, let's get into it!  This is the very happy loading screen, although that sun is a bit terrifying to me for some reason  Our journey begins with us enrolling in the prestigious Peggle Academy.  Our application is approved   This is the main screen of the game. During this LP we will be going through the Adventure Mode, which will spoon feed ya'll with the concepts and skills you'll need to become Peggle Masters. We may or may not look at the other game modes later on. No promises!  Stage one hasn't even begun yet, and things are already starting to get weird as a freakish unicorn speaks words at us.  Okay, the instructions are clear enough. Shoot balls at orange things and also other things, but mostly the orange things.  Ten balls and a lot of pegs to go! Bjorn the Unicorn (i've never noticed that rhymes before) withheld some important information: If our ball lands in the basket that keeps moving around on the bottom, we get our ball back. That's pretty good. Okay, that's all we need to know for now. Time for the audience participation part: Goons, where do we shoot?

Between the right-most orange peg and the blue peg to it's immediate right, hoping to bounce down onto the next two orange pegs. EDIT: Yes, I know, but this is Peggle. No place for jokes.

JohnCompany posted:Between the right-most orange peg and the blue peg to it's immediate right, hoping to bounce down onto the next two orange pegs. You got it!        That was a rather decent shot: didn't hit both the orange pegs you were aiming for, but still!  9 balls left! As you can see, the lights on the right light up as we remove orange pegs, and will increase our score multipliers as we pass the thresholds. I'll talk more about how scoring works later, I guess. What next?

Aim for the rightmost orange peg (in that group of six up at the top right). Try and bounce the ball off of the lower left edge of that peg, if you can.

 Got it! I have a good feeling about this one  whoosh  pew!   pshooow  IN THE BASKET!  FREE BAAAALL  At this point, Bjorn finally sees fit to tell us about the basket and the miracle of free balls. But since I missed screenshotting it and already explained it anyways, let's talk scoring instead: Our score for each shot is the combined value of all the pegs we hit (10 for blues, 100 for orange ones, without multipliers) combined by the total number of pegs we hit. This means a shot that takes out a lot of pegs will give us more points than a shot which only hits a few, even if the ones we hit are more valuable. In this case, we gain 520 x 16 = 8320 points, making Successful Student the most proficient peggler thus far in this LP   What's the next target?

Try to hit the topmost peg on the left there, with the three in a row.

 I assumed you meant the topmost orange peg here! Anyways, this type of shot is always quite tricky, and I've never been able to make them reliably. Another option would have been to bounce it down from the blue peg to the above-left of the one I'm aiming for, but that would probably turn out worse if I mess it up.    c'mon hit something orange drat you      Only a thousand points, but we cleared out a couple of obstructing blue pegs at least  What next?

Aim at the upper-left corner of the orange peg just right of center (i.e. the one just to the right of the guide in the last screenshot).

Shoot right to the left of where your guide is pointed in between the blue pegs.

Not pictured: me lining up the shot, me taking the shot Pictured: me accidentally shooting before I'm ready  Pictured: the ball bouncing wildly as I flail about trying to find the screenshot button  at least it's another free ball, those are always great!   our average score per shot is pretty bad though tbh  Still, some juicy opportunities here! Where do we aim?

Lacedaemonius posted:I think it would make more sense to post shots in gif or webm yeah I'll look into it but it might be too much  for the purposes of a chill LP about shooting balls at pegs, we'll see  Lacedaemonius posted:also shoot here I'll get right on this though     hey have you noticed how the freaky unicorn follows the balls with his eyes?  4830 points, not overly shabby.  Thank you for the heads-up Bjorn! You may also have noticed that we've now passed the 3x threshold, meaning we can hopefully score some nice points from here on out!  With that said, where do we want to put it?

bounce it off the left side of the peg it's pointed at now so we can hit the one just below next time

I hope it sorts itself out. also pictured: me taking screenshots because I do not trust modern technology) well that was embarrassing luckily, if you don't hit a single peg you have a 50-50 chance of getting the ball back for free! Peggle is nothing if not mercifulLet's try that again!  Much better! I'll just keep doing this until you ask me to do something else, then.

Try bounce it very slightly left off the central blue peg so it bounces into the mass of pegs that make up the left side of the screen.

OP, please shoot south-southwest into the gap between the two diagonal blues. Ideally, bounce it up off the lower one into the upper one, allowing it to continue downwards into the bulk of the remaining pegs.

Ideally, bounce it up off the lower one into the upper one, allowing it to continue downwards into the bulk of the remaining pegs. i'm going with this suggestion because you said please This is a bit of a dangerous shot, as the ball could easily bounce of the top blue peg and fly harmlessly off to the right, but here goes!   Krazyface is the new thread champion with 15600 points  Getting close to the end, where next?

This one time I was playing against my sister, like six or seven years ago. I was about a million points ahead (it was like a LONG game-mode, and she said the machine was biased towards player one, so we swapped for a single shot. I got something insane like 500k points, it was the best shot I've ever made.

My best shot I have a replay of is around 484k, but I won't show that off yet to avoid spoiling things. Also I don't want to brag  also speaking of that:  please use spoiler tags when discussion things we haven't seen in the LP yet thank you

This doesn't work as I can't shoot through those things on the edge of the board. Otherwise, this would be child's play  Hammer Floyd posted:Bottom right on the group of 4 in the middle. Watch me carefully line this shot up with the basket!  A lot of things give you style bonuses: landing a shot in the bucket after bouncing of the side of it is one of them. (there was no luck involved) And with that, we have a new thread hero in Hammer Floyd, 32000 points ohmigod!!  What's next?

I assume this is the one you meant! i won't accept responsibility for failing/succeeding despite your efforts unless you provide me with sperglordy illustrations of your intended shots  We're getting pretty good at hitting the basket, I didn't even aim for it this time!  Only two pegs left, do we play it safe or attempt a trick shot?
