Notable quotes

As for a while there, you couldn't go to your favorite social media outlet without seeing news of a newly released or soon-to-be-revealed game.
Craig Bobby
But now that the pinball dust finally seems to be settling down in the wake of all these announcements, I think the real and burning question and obvious elephant in the room now is, how long will it take to get your shiny new pinball machine once you've made your choice?
Craig Bobby
And as long as Stern has that secret locked up, they will continue to win and dominate this pinball hobby for decades to come.
Craig Bobby
Dutch Pinball early achievers are still being notified that their games are shipping this year, despite literally almost a decade of waiting for their machines. So a pat on the back for everyone for hanging in there, but my God, what an awful, awful journey.
Craig Bobby
The real war is being fought and won on the production line.
Craig Bobby
It's $100 a month. You don't get any of those liquids, but you're going to get all of the Nordman Club stuff, all of the official membership club stuff, plus an exclusive members-only pinball show polo shirt.
Zach
I really enjoyed the shot geometry. There are a number of unique items there where I feel Jack as a new designer's influence clearly shows through.
Dennis (discussing Foo Fighters)
I personally enjoyed the premium more than the pro. Ooh, strong take.
Dennis / Zach
