Notable quotes
“I like it having a storyline built into it. I think that gives it legs.”
“I'll be honest. I will be that guy. I would probably, if I had the premium, try and find a pro trans light to replace it.”
“It half rolled my eyes and looked at Dennis like he physically injured me by making me watch it it was really bad”
“Maybe sabotages is the wrong word, but I'll use that. Sabotages Bond sales at this point.”
“I think this game needed to come out before now.”
