Notable quotes
“Fan layout is a game with only two flippers and goals laid out in an arc at the top of the table. This is not that.”
“If I want a fan layout, I'll buy a Borg... if I have a third flipper down with the other two, it can't be a fan layout?”
“You do not get to redefine I've met people like you before you trying to twist the word of what a fan layout is to suit the definition you want it to be... you do not get to redefine what a fan layout is. You are pissing in the face of decades of history.”
“Not only does it look beautiful, but it flows beautiful... this thing may be his best design ever... there is a lot of variety here in these shots, and it looks more flowy than maybe even Elwin's other stuff.”
“I like that it's different... It doesn't feel cookie-cutter. I like that he's not interested in going down the fan layout route.”
“So not enough information on that, but how well you do in modes can help you later on... Bronze, silver, gold... these trophies can be collected for later use.”
“I do like mode completions versus non-completion... I like an end to my modes because the mode is like a part of a story.”
“I think this is smart. My initial concern when I heard that lighting iron was what activated Iron Man multiball is that was going to be way too easy.”
