Notable quotes
“The return of Yoko. She's back.”
“I do think that with modern pinball playing, you can debate it because I definitely think that it's a worthy discussion to have if pinball has turned too much into baby's first pinball, where every shot is safe.”
“I fear that if, as a hobby, we continue to bitch and moan and whine, then at some point I fear manufacturers like Stern Pinball might go, all right, fucking give them Led Zeppelin. Give them that fan layout.”
“I am too pro-consumer to say that you should operate in fear of being punished by the manufacturers.”
“I think it's going to come down to sales. Uncanny X-Men is selling. They're going to go, all right, people want these weird-ass layouts, and they're going to keep making them.”
“I think it was canceled or scrapped for some reason, thus him feeling like he could share this picture.”
