Notable quotes
“I'm thinking hourglass. I'm thinking hourglass.”
“you can change a lay into a Pringle all you want. It's still a potato.”
“they got the DeLorean...but they don't have any of the characters. Like, they don't have Doc. They don't have Marty. Like, they got the car. Yeah, they were wasting their time and money then.”
“this thing is sharp. It is sexy looking. It matches perfectly to the game. I don't know what people are complaining about.”
“Dutch Pinball still delayed. They still think that they're going to get all these games out in 2025, so God bless them.”
“I feel that Dungeons & Dragons has felt more complete at every step of its journey versus where X-Men was”
“It's been difficult for me to tell because obviously the games are getting assessed at various different points, like X-Men's had several different versions.”
“if there's a parts kind of thing. Like, it's just they're focusing more of their efforts on making games, and the accessories kind of get the back burner of things.”
