Notable quotes
“Pinball has become really good now... there aren't really any quote unquote misses anymore. That all pinball is winning pinball.”
“You've got newbies, these pleads... Your smart move was you took nothing older than D&D. I took Firepower and I took Dr. Do. And those things are too old for these newbies”
“Most of the high-end competitive players I have known have universally hated this game. They have all sold it or want to sell it and are afraid of just taking too big of a bath in the market.”
“My freshest rumor indicates that Stern is in talks with Pierce Brosnan to do the call-outs for it.”
“If we were in the era of Goldeneye, having him do call-outs... makes total sense. We're just now wrapped up with the Daniel Craig Bond. So now, having Pierce, we could be talking about the whole series.”
