Notable quotes
“When I look at a stirred, I do look and I see, this looks like you stuck a laptop screen in the back of the back box. And when I look at a JJP, it looks to me like you stuck a TV in the back of the back box.”
“I think it's going to be the greatest game of all time.”
“My first reaction was, this is really weird. I'm good with it, though, because it's unique.”
“It's clearly using a lot of 3D printed parts right now, so there's going to be questions about the quality on the prototype versus what the finalized version will be.”
“From what you've been able to tell from the photography, what is your sense of this design. The John Pock Paduke layout that we are presented with.”
