Episode 78_The Home Game

“If you like pinball, you play a pinball machine when you see it. If you really like pinball, you go to a place where there's pinball. Maybe you get into a competition where you're pinball obsessed enough to buy a pinball machine and put it in your house. Let alone two or three or five or ten pinball machines. You're a little crazy, right?”

“Good players go where good pinball is. So if your competition sucks, guys like Andre, guys like Jack Danger, they're not going to show up. So yeah, it speaks a lot to what you guys have achieved in building that competitive scene in Reno.”

“I'm texting my wife saying, just to let you know, Andre came into town and he took it before – I didn't know what the results were. And all of a sudden I look, and sure enough, Dan Armstrong actually pulled it off.”

“The day after we recorded the last episode, I finally got that call. My mom passed. So I've lost both my parents within like literally seven months to the day.”

“They're loading those things up. They have Insider Connected. So they're really close to real arcade machines.”

“I would have done my homework every day, you know. I kind of want one now, like I was saying.”

“You could actually, if you obeyed the laws of like how you should play it, you could play a pretty good game of pinball on it. It had ramps. It had targets. You could hit it. It had sound effects. The problem with it was it had no tilt mechanism.”

“It weighs less than a gallon of milk. So yeah, you could just throw that thing all over the place and keep them all alive.”

“I actually put it in my lineup. So that people could just be like, oh, what a schmuck.”

“He does a lot of cool stuff for pinball. And you know, kind of going back to what you said, Spencer, is like the good players go where the good pinball is.”
