Notable quotes

The LA scene first of all is maybe the best in the country... there's a lot of really cool pockets... whether you're talking about Revenja which is one of the best you know i'd say newer places... or ace goji... or downtown la with like 82 which um that place is always slammed every time I'm there.
Ian Jacobi
I'm really excited, I think. And also just, like, it feels in general, dude, like, pinball's still growing... I'm seeing more young people. I'm seeing just more people in general and just the talent level of pinball player... talent level is going up in general for people
Ian Jacobi
I think we're living in a golden age of pinball right now. So I'm just trying to enjoy every bit of it.
Shane Told
as far as i'm seeing it's like they're about to release what probably will be their biggest game since godzilla... because of the theme
Ian Jacobi
So I'm currently at sea for my job aboard the EV Nautilus. I'm about halfway between New Zealand and Hawaii near some uninhabited islands known as Howland and Baker. So, yeah, not a lot of pinball out here from where I'm calling right now.
Erin Winnick-Anthony
I want to be able to make some stuff that's not about my work for once and make some other fun content in the middle there that's not all hard science stuff.
Erin Winnick-Anthony
they had like twenty five games and it was all the newest, rarest stuff in perfect condition... Harry Potter... Dune... Evil Dead... Alice in Wonderland. I have not even seen that outside of, like, an expo or anything.
Ian Jacobi
i honestly think it might be hurting people to not have those games in there because it might be nice to have sure we all love having our like 19 million deadpool games where we just like it's just kicking our ass
