Notable quotes

“When you get around the galaxy, when you get to Pluto, or is it the sun? I can't remember. Yeah, you start at Pluto. It's the sun. That is when you get mucho points.”
Dan and Mark (discussing Pinbot)
“Bram Stoker's Dracula is the work of the devil.”
Dan
“It's not my first choice for a theme for myself, but I get why other people are really excited about it. And it's new pinball, so that's exciting to me.”
Spencer
“The gaudiness of the CE definitely fits with that Italian mantra in the Godfather time. So it works. It's over the top.”
Mark
“I watched Python Anghelo stream, and I was, you know, really delighted with how it played.”
Dan
“We are having a good problem we are having tons of players show up in the weekend.”
Spencer
“I really, really, really appreciate the fact that they opted to not put a tablet screen or cell phone size screen anywhere in the play field.”
Spencer
“Spring thaw is very appropriate because it's like everything is frozen and now it's starting to thaw and all of a sudden this amazing news has come out with all these games.”
Dan
