Notable quotes

if you want a game, then you're going to pay for that game, right? ... if you want something that's new in box, you're going to pay full MSRP price for it

It's definitely a buyer's market at the moment and we're going to get into why I think it's not so much a seller's market too
Retro Ralph
this brushed metallic foil... they took this shot during it that's just so sexy because it's got the LE artwork and in the middle, bam, Godzilla in Japanese lettering with this red accent. It just looks so damn good
Retro Ralph
I'm not going to have both, but I feel like it could be dumb to get rid of this highly modded, very unique Godzilla just because I'm so hooked on the... it looks like the way I want it to look
Retro Ralph
Godzilla is one of my favorite games. It's probably my favorite game in my collection just because it's so fun. Like the game itself is fun. It puts a smile on my face every time I play it
Retro Ralph
when you're playing in a tournament, it's different, right? Because when you step up to a game and you're by yourself at your house, you play all three balls one after another... there's a psychological element to it
Retro Ralph
the biggest thing I have issues with is... if you go up and you have a bad ball now, while you're waiting for the other people to play, all you're thinking about is like, wow, what just happened? Like you start getting in your own head
