Notable quotes

So I had someone come to me with a couple of rumors and they said these were from some credible sources. Now keep in mind this isn't really my wheelhouse so you got to take it with a grain of salt but the guy said, look you can't say who i am but what i'm going to drop for you is the real deal.

I think that is really exciting because gi joe has been one uh that i i watched gi joe as a kid... so i don't know, that kind of excites me. I'd love to know what you guys think. Is G.I. Joe something that you go, man, this would be a really cool title for a pinball machine?
Retro Ralph
Jersey Jack, look, Jersey Jack needs a win. I feel like they've made good games. Like, Elton John is really fun, but it's Elton John.
Retro Ralph
I don't want that for Jersey Jack. I don't want that for any of these companies. I want them to have hit games. It'd be really cool if they all had a game. It'd be so cool if we lived in an era where every single one of these companies had a game out that you had to have.
Retro Ralph
I would be really bummed out if back to the future comes out and there's like it's number one really expensive and it's limited to like 500 because i think that licenses me one that a lot of people want
Retro Ralph
American Pinball just seems so fractured that it'll be a shame because the things I've heard is that Cuphead is actually pretty fun
Retro Ralph
I want them to release a game that i that i think is mainstream enough that everybody would want one... and if you look at the quality of evil dead if you could do that but just bring a mainstream theme like the goonies i'm i'm in i'm totally in
Retro Ralph
I think these are some pretty cool rumors. Let me know what you think. I appreciate each and every one of you watching. I kept it to 20 minutes this time.
