Notable quotes
“I love the petty arguments because they are unending right... there's a game for everybody... we can still argue infinitely about it because it's so subjective”
“I legitimately having fun, so yeah, how can I be like a bag of sour grapes?”
“I looked at a theme that I don't think any company would reasonably be able to get, something that I love, which would be the original 8-bit Legend of Zelda, and I built myself a Spike 2 cabinet.”
“once you find somebody that's legit and you can trust, then you can do future deals with these folks because we trade games back and forth. These things are expensive.”
“I went to play Thunderbirds... I'm not rushing out to buy one but I had fun playing it... there's nothing wrong with that”
“I saw the amazing things that the homebrew people are making... professional games are coming out from the homebrew people... Motorhead... Saw... Friday the 13th... Pokemon”
“With my low expectations and measure of success, it's already exceeded what I thought I would do.”
