Notable quotes
“when you make it to 13, I mean, people start talking Hall of Fame. I'm just saying that's what they're saying on the streets.”
“It was lots of fun. So thanks to everybody participating, but also thanks to everybody for listening and for your feedback.”
“As long as you agree to the terms of the battle beforehand, you've got a challenge.”
“I prefer three flippers than two. But I'm not sitting there thinking, oh, this game's terrible because it's only got two flippers.”
“Lord of the Rings, hands down, because that's what I thought the fans would be voting for. Did that happen, Jeff? No, it didn't.”
“I think Jurassic Park and Iron Maiden have a huge advantage over Lord of the Rings in that there are more than two flippers.”
“It's very easy. I've had Jurassic Park probably for the same amount of time that I had Iron Maiden and probably the same amount of playtime that I've had on Lord of the Rings. I'm done with Lord of the Rings. I feel like I've seen everything I need to do.”
“They went into very, very strict lockdown very early, closed the borders. Now they're saying that they are virus-free.”
“I still maintain that InDisc is the best tournament in the world.”
