Notable quotes

“When you open the door up, you get hit right in the face by a wall of just music, noise, and just awesomeness.”
Dave
“Games are meant to be played and on top of that, it's best that, you know, how a game plays, a game should play as well as it looks.”
Dave
“Well, it's not a Sternament, I mean... Exactly.”
“I called that, Dragonfist is a, I call it a poor man stargazer.”
Dave
“We're anything but professional. Anything but.”
George
“Damn right I am. Well, no, no, I mean, look, no, no slight on anybody if you got a pretty game, but if you're not playing it and it doesn't play well, it's a piece of artwork and you might as well just hang it on the wall.”
Dave
“I know you know... Fire!... We had talked about Fire because of a local brewery, but that game doesn't really do much for me.”
George
“Well, look where we are guys, look where we are today. Yeah. Be done. You know what goes around comes around here we go black night.”
George
