Notable quotes
“It doesn't feel like I'm just here playing by myself. There's a sense of community there... a common space for everybody to be hanging out.”
“All roads lead to laser_los, because the pinball streams kind of funnel... I'm usually the only one.”
“You're doing this slow watering of this garden, right, a multiplier garden... You harvest the crop, if you will.”
“There are so many games. I mean, I always look forward to find out when you're going to play.”
“Whether it's going to be fun to play in a tournament, like when all four people really know how to play... I don't know if it's going to be like build this huge multiplier up and then cash it in.”
“The Chungus Army is the dedicated group of community Twitch viewers... We are a unit, and we are taking over Twitch one Chungus at a time.”
