Notable quotes
“Nostalgia wears a little thin after a while. You know, your Donkey Kong sits collecting dust that looks cool in your game room, but let's get real. You're not playing your Donkey Kong every day.”
“Hey, has anyone ever talked about Beetlejuice as a pinball theme?”
“She's like, well why can't Grogu pick up the ball? T-Rex picked up the ball... and then she said I don't like the plastic ramps... She wanted a spring on the Razor Crest.”
“They set the expectation that they were going to make all of these games in 18 months. And as a pinball company or as a person in general, you can either meet, break, or exceed that expectation and they blew it out of the water.”
“Stacked and loaded up to the glass with multiple upper playfields.”
“I think there's subways. There's a lot of subways. So the ball is going to be going from different place to different place.”
“They are going back to an updated Penhek board system rather than that P3, P-Rock board system.”
“No more mozzarella string cheese glue under your play field of a spooky pinball. There are now Molex connectors everywhere.”
“Will the code be finished? This is the central theme people keep asking me.”
“Spooky Pinball sits at just over 2,200 followers... Stern Pinball... currently have just over 44,000 followers, which is just over three times what Jersey Jack Pinball has.”
