Notable quotes

“I've got more scoops than Baskin Robbins, baby. And this is going to be exciting because I'm going to give you some information nobody else has given you.”

Kaneda

“I don't think anything I'm about to drop is a rumor. I think it's confirmed. I think this stuff is happening... I think there is almost like a hundred percent certainty that everything you are going to hear on this show is going to happen.”

Kaneda

“Halo is not a good theme for pinball. Halo is a great theme for Xbox and even then, nobody cares anymore about the Halo license... When's the last time you went on to Xbox and even played Halo with your friends?”

Kaneda

“G.I. Joe is coming from barrels of fun sometime in the next year or two... the big surprise for me is this... this property and this franchise is going to have a new movie in the theaters this year... Masters of the Universe.”

Kaneda

“American Pinball lost this theme to barrels of fun... Christopher Franchi gonna be on the He art package that he worked on when he was over at like American Pinball”

Kaneda

“I'm hearing that John Borg is working on an all new music pin... the music pin that John Borg is working on in all original version of this band's music in pinball format is no other than Canada, baby... an all-original ACDC game on Spike 3.”

Kaneda

“Eric Meunier's game is going to be Justice League, baby. It might be Superman, but I'm going with Justice League. This company has a great relationship with Warner Brothers.”

Kaneda

“Mark Seiden game will be an all new platform for Jersey Jack Pinball... I think it's going to be a much cleaner new operating platform. I think we're going to get internet connectivity. I think they're going to use the camera more.”
