Notable quotes

“Everyone standing there kind of watched me, and it was pretty intense having an audience. I was able to finally rule the universe.”
Josh Roop
“I think 750 units if priced right go out the door with no problem”
Josh Roop
“I would be shocked if by the end of the weekend that they weren't all sold out.”
Josh Roop
“It's that word, limited edition. I feel like the Princess Bride, you keep saying that word and I don't think you know what that word means.”
Scott Larson
“The pinball attention window is so narrow that okay yes they were able to resurrect some interest in the pin by having that retro comic book art package.”
Scott Larson
“This is a casualty of working with a major license. It took so long to get this thing out that how many games have we had since Star Wars?”
Scott Larson
“If you can actually get that voice actor to actually do the call outs like they did on Simpsons Pinball Party, then you can avoid those things.”
Scott Larson
“Rick and Morty, you have an endless array of them. And if you get the voice actor to actually do the call outs like they did on Simpsons Pinball Party, then you can avoid those things.”
Scott Larson
