Notable quotes

“Final Resistance kicks ass.”
Dan
“It's like... it's got like an attack from mars kind of vibe... it fights back a lot more... it's like three or four times [that it fires balls back at you]”
Dan
“You can definitely feel that Scott Denise DNA... if you were one of those people who's like man I'd really love total nuclear annihilation if it had some ramps, you got to play this.”
Dan
“It's absolutely true. It is absolutely true? Wow. It's brutally fast.”
Dan
“It goes to the adversarial nature of the game. You know, the game is actively, finally resisting you.”
Dan
“If you have a P3, you know, and you're looking for another game, Final Resistance is fantastic. It's the best thing I've played on it.”
Dan
“You are never very far from the people in charge of that company. You've talked to Jerry. I've interacted with Scott on the message boards. I've interacted with the coder.”
Dan
“This feels very traditional, like it feels like a pinball machine, but it does stuff that you said... up until now you were only doing on virtual machines.”
Dan
“As soon as he beats me at this game, this game sucks, this game is crap.”
Dan
“The RV sites are all sold out. There were yesterday still some tent sites available. Now I can't still speak on that. Four hours after they launched, I couldn't find anything available at all.”
