Notable quotes
“So we're rolling into the holiday season... And I really think that's going to be the title that's going to hold value very well, or the model, rather, that's going to hold value very well. So get your hands on one of those.”
“I put my pants on just like anybody else one leg at a time but then after I have my pants on I have Ray Day do more code”
“Do they move in unison? Are they separate? Are they two Kongs? ...Some people are calling redundancy on it, seeing an interactive Kong both under the glass and above the head.”
“Now they've redone the Danger Room rules, and that game is really coming around and becoming favorited by a lot of people.”
“I'm still seeing the prices of Uncanny X-Men being, I think, way too cheap compared to the game you get.”
“The Winchester Mystery House is what this landmark or this attraction is called... Mrs. Winchester... thinking that she is cursed from the souls that lost their lives to the Winchester guns”
