Notable quotes
“The Godfather is an absolute masterpiece of a pinball machine. It's one of my all-time favorite movies, I assume, close to you as well. It has everything you want in a pinball machine.”
“I just want to be involved in pinball as much as I can. And it's no skin off my back having my music in a pinball machine. it's a blessing so it's awesome”
“I agree. You know, I say it a lot, though. If Chicago Gaming keeps coming out with these ballet machines and does them the way they're doing, which is absolutely incredible, my game room is going to get more and more of those machines”
“I think there's a fine balance in between a deep game and a game that's just frustrating and impossible to get through. You know, I don't want to name names, but there's some games where I can't get halfway through the game still years later.”
“There's a lot of pinball in Europe. People wouldn't normally expect that, but any given day where I have a day off, I can find a local pinball joint.”
“You know, some of the games I love aren't necessarily the machines that everybody else loves. Like I love the Avengers. I think that new Avengers machine is Keith Elwin killed it on that.”
“I think we've got another guy on the list of just buy before you see kind of designers. To me, you've got Eric, you've got Keith Elwin, and now you've got Jack Danger.”
