Notable quotes
“I just got tired and I just wanted to go watch UFC that night”
“you only have 15 seconds once you start Gamma Ray. So 15 seconds goes by really fast when you're missing your shots”
“I don't think I can call pinball if what you guys is doing is pinball. Like that, the accuracy and just the ability to get the ball in control and where you want, fantastic”
“buying the dip. You get last in your first couple rounds, and now you're kind of hanging out at the bottom rankings, but all the sharks have kind of swam to the top... And so you have to win one match against all the really good people”
“It's weird playing competitive pinball and then you turn around and there nobody else around except for your wife sitting on a beanbag staring at a TV”
“you have to not let it mess with you you have to just pretend that whatever you're doing is going to be good enough because if you think about it too hard the pressure gets to you”
