Notable quotes
“On location and for tournaments, it needs to be set up the way that the designer intended.”
“It's a little bit of a bummer... it just lights up. Some of these toppers actually do crazy stuff but this one just lights up.”
“I'm calling you guys from the future. It is actually Monday night where you guys are, and it's Tuesday morning where I'm at.”
“Or just scrap the whole fucking thing because that game sucks.”
“The flipper gap, everything about it, and just wasn't caught and corrected.”
“I feel like if you're doing something like Pinball Olympics or that sort of event, yeah, man, add whatever contraption you want. But even if it's a casual league, I think it should have the designer-intended lightning flippers.”
“Evil Dead's are still... That's usual J.J.P. stuff. Yeah, yeah. Have you seen the resale on Evil Dead's lately? 15, 16 grand.”
“I went to this little like pinball den I would call it. It was in the basement of this building. It smelled like complete pee-pee and poo-poo.”
