Notable quotes

“Stern does have a home run on that game, I got to say.”
George
“The short order cooks have it down to a science. They move like two feet in each direction and can cook an entire meal for five people. It's fun to watch.”
Dave
“I am such a jerk... That must happen a lot to you guys. More than you can count.”
George (and Scott Denisey response)
“I'm playing all this new stuff like the remake for Attack from Mars. That's a fun game. I understand why Mike bought the original.”
George
“WPC to the rescue. They did the flippers for me. That worked out great.”
George
“The problem I have with a lot of the Rampers stuff is that when you want to play your own music, you can't because it competes like a Chinese opera with their music in the game.”
George
“Goat milk is the future. I just had my first thing of goat milk. That is freaking fantastic. Way better than regular cow's milk.”
Dave
“I don't really know the exact date yet. But it's going to be mid-December, before Christmas.”
George
