Notable quotes
“I have owned Lord of the Rings the pinball machine in excess of seven to ten times, honestly. And maybe it's a source of pride. I love that theme so much, more than anything in pinball”
“If there was a game that was free and I just didn't have to ever think about the monetary burden, I'd have Lord of the Rings in a room permanently until I die”
“I remember sitting on the bench of the bench press texting this guy and being super nervous. My heart was just like, oh my God, I'm about to spend $4,300 on a pinball machine”
“I drove a 10 hour round trip, brought cash into the ghetto. That was stupid, complete stranger. It was like late at night.”
“Iron Man (Vault), I'm looking for one by the way, probably still. I have my flanges out there everywhere looking for one, just, you know, a normal price”
“I like to feel in control of my flippers and that game [Godzilla] is designed to be a little more flowy, you know, how it kind of just momentumly goes around”
“When I first played this game [Ghostbusters], when I got back into pinball, I thought it was horrible. Like, oh my god, it's too hard. I hate it. And then I remember getting it back...I really, really fell in love with that game”
