Notable quotes
“It's so funny because I was talking to my oldest who's 25. Shane is 25 and he doesn't drink either except like me when you're away from home, when you have no responsibilities”
“I have put out tons and tons of feelers. I mean, maybe somebody will call us during Straight Down the Middle: a pinball show. We'll pick up, hopefully, fingers crossed, but I guess we'll just have to do it ourselves. Fake it till you make it.”
“So I'm just pushing it as far to see if I can get that strike. So it doesn't matter that you're in Australia, DMCA still affects you as well.”
“I'm just saying that I think there's a lot more to it than people give them credit. When you say songs being mixed, are you talking like mashups or just the blend to make sure the beats per minute match”
“I personally, my hand, Jeff Teolas, I won't vote for any of these because I don't feel I am qualified. And I'm not trying to toot my own horn, but I'm pretty fucking connected. I play a lot. I go to a lot of tournaments.”
“I made this I was talking about the suggestion a while ago about the Twippies Awards as well is that you should have a 50-50. 50% of the vote comes from a vetted committee of people that you know have played everything and then 50% of it's the public vote. It's Eurovision rules.”
“I would imagine for a lot of people, this is their only kind of pinball content... But what breaks my heart is some of these streamers are getting maybe 30, maybe 40 viewers or you watch something as exciting as Pin Slash and that tops out at 400.”
“I wish I was a Bob Ross Call of Duty player. I wish I was one of the best players in the world. I would be sitting on shitloads of cash right now if that was the case. Unfortunately, it's pinball so it's a bit of a smaller community”
