Notable quotes
“Everyone needs an advocate. If you're one person buying from a large corporation, then you don't have sway on the event of a problem or issue.”
“If you're so worried about it and not so invested in it, just don't open the box and flip it as soon as you get it.”
“Do not trust a hope. It has forsaken these lands, Tony. It has forsaken these lands. Darkness has descended upon the land.”
“But Spooky and American Pinball and by and large Stern and Chicago Gaming, they're not having this problem. What's JJP's problem?”
“I do have a link in the show notes for folks so you can go and check out their sneak peek video that Tony and I are going to talk about.”
