Notable quotes
“This is not your grandfather's pinball machine.”
“The collection of trophies in a pinball machine shows the player when they've reached or accomplished certain tasks that become much more specific versus simply high scores.”
“Do trophies make sense in Marvel's Avengers? No, they don't. But they're there for another reason.”
“If you're using intellectual property or any likeness, it is a felony. Be careful.”
“I'm excited to be part of this journey with American Pinball's most exciting gameplay yet to come.”
“They're considering adding two different Guns N' Roses 72-inch by 30-inch banners to their merchandise store.”
“Numbers don't lie. Episode 39, the episode where you do not sing, there were no goats, and there was no market trends, has hundreds more downloads.”
“After time of reflection, I felt the same way. I loved not recording. It was great.”
