Notable quotes
“So I'm going to say that Stern got it mostly right in that they brought enough of the right people from the pinball media down to give them the Stern VIP treatment... Now, I say mostly because there were some notable invite misses, namely myself and Dennis Creasel of the Pinball Show.”
“Maybe they're holding off because they're saying, Zach, I know you have this many on order, but here comes this. You may want to modify that order accordingly.”
“I still don't see the point in Spike 3-ifying these games. LCD integration? I just don't. Why not just make another new game?”
“I've got to give kudos to Stern. I've got to give him props for us thinking when a game hits 1.0 that it's done. and James Bond is deep enough, but they're like, no, we're going to keep going here.”
“Stern knows where their bread is buttered, Zach. That's true. It's not maple syrup. And it's not buttered by the pinball show.”
“If I were to guess again, I have no clue... Pokemon next year.”
“proving once again that sometimes, no matter how well-meaning you are or try to be, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.”
