Notable quotes
“So suck it, San Diego Comic-Con. Boom! Already saw it.”
“The thing that really stands out to it is the way they had it set up in the booth... the side art just, I know artwork is subjective in general, but, I mean, I looked at it and I'm like, damn, that thing pops crazy.”
“Elliot, you know, stay positive. You did something good here and people are enjoying it. Look around. There's lines for John Wick all day, every day.”
“I don't think you have to have a bunch of mechs or like crazy crazy toys all over the place to be a good game... I look at Bond and Bond looks rather bare when you look at it. It's one of my favorite games.”
“I want to encourage you guys go out go to join the tournament it doesn't matter it doesn't matter how good you are, you will meet some really cool people. And some of these people might end up being your friends for life.”
“He's like, well, man, my small town I'm from only has one pinball machine in it... so he was so excited to play it was his birthday so of course i'm like i paid for his games”
“I think if you're American Pinball and you're just coming off of a game called Barry O's Barbecue Challenge that you probably should lead with He-Man, not Cuphead. That would be my advice.”
“I would have tombstone pile driven the freaking Guns N' Roses cabinet if we were anywhere else. And I was so freaking pissed off.”
