Notable quotes
“Dennis was wrong. We're going to get into all of that.”
“There's no way it could be worse than the original... and someone basically said, Dennis was wrong.”
“You have to be careful because you start sounding like you're picking things where it sounds like you're walking your shill line.”
“They're picking on the artwork because they're unable to properly identify the other reasons in which they are frustrated with this product, this company, etc.”
“Orange and blue is not true to the spirit of... that's quite true to the spirit of explosions, which is not what Walking Dead is about.”
“It's also a way to tell Stern we don't want this theme. There's a way to do it as well because it's really easy to just jump on this.”
“I would posit that they're picking on the artwork because they're unable to properly identify the other reasons in which they are frustrated with this product, this company, etc.”
“That's the thing. Sometimes I feel like in the vitriol, the zeal behind the vitriol, don't lose sight that that first art package is really not good.”
