Notable quotes
“oh my god i want cactus canyon cactus canyon wasn't any good when williams made it the first time it wasn't even collectible then and it was the last gasp of a dying company then why does someone think it's bad it's collectible it's beyond me”
“It's been a long, hard slog to secure the licence. It's a lot more tricky and difficult to secure licences, well-known licences such as Spinal Tap, than some people might realise.”
“We started by designing things that were specifically Spinal Tap, things that spoke Spinal Tap before we even considered any form of layout, such as an exploding drummer, that's a given with Spinal Tap”
“One thing I can say, if you're a tournament player and you love deep rule sets, do not buy one of these machines because that's not what we do.”
“We were thrown in at the deep end from day one having to come out with a medieval madness beater as our first game, and that just was never going to happen. That's just too much of an ask.”
“Stern Insider Connected is only available on current and future Spike 2 games.”
“Which platform, if either, will come out on top remains to be seen, and it will be interesting to see if two systems can survive within this niche hobby.”
“material costs being as much as 50% more than they were”
