Notable quotes

I'm a thousand percent surprised that it's not Daniel Craig. Like the Daniel Craig movies, I mean, I know that they just put a bow on that part of the franchise with his last movie, but his movies were so successful and he's so recognized in the role of James Bond.
Dan
I really think, you know, when they have that nostalgic music and maybe they'll have music from the different Bond movies...it definitely will sound like it's going to be fun to shoot and it'll be a fun experience.
Dan
If the main shot on your game doesn't work, that should not be the main shot on your game.
Spencer
Steve's not at Stern anymore. And I think that a lot of people, by the end, they were kind of tired of the Steve Ritchie act at Stern.
Spencer
It's kind of funny because there's no really any leaks, which is kind of fun in a way, because it's like we're waiting until Tuesday is the official reveal.
Spencer
I love what gomez did with deadpool with that one shot you know with the katana shot and I don't know what he's going to do with this straight garbage man it is the worst thing about that game
Spencer
Going back into the classroom was definitely a culture shock...it definitely stressed me out big time.
Mark
We don't have any new games except we did get a Scared Stiff added to the collection. And it's a nice one...it didn't have the classic weak flippers where you go up the ramp and if you don't make it it goes straight down the middle
Mark
Could you picture if that game was called Grand Theft Auto? We wouldn't even be having Weird Al yet because they'd probably be still running those.
Spencer
And what I did is I played pinball arcade on my iPad, and I had it displayed on the projector. And when I drained the ball, they had to write the score down on their whiteboards, and then they had to write in expanded form.
