Notable quotes
“You gotta be able to hear that game the music... I heard like three words from sam jackson like the whole time we played it: hamburgers, the cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast”
“This is a perfect one for an arcade. But I think you'd get bored of it at home.”
“You can get this game for $2,000 maybe... How much does a Pulp Fiction go for? It's like... $9?”
“I think they kind of providing this immersive or kind of putting you into this world that you're playing in... I thought that the artwork and just all the random toys and, you know, like you can see the castle kind of underneath.”
“It has that kind of like williams feel... The flippers on that felt very Williams-y... they had much more of a delay than the Stern.”
“And there's sort of a little guy that just popped out and like mocked you when you missed the ball. For no reason... I love it. That's the kind of stuff that's very lacking in Stern games is just like stuff there just for the heck of it.”
“if labyrinth was like my favorite movie of all time and i love pinball this would be my shit dude the topper is off the charts cool on this game”
“You're actually doing all the things that we complain that games aren't doing. Yeah. It's right here. It's in Labyrinth.”
