Notable quotes

“The majority of people that podcast only shill. We only speak positivity. And we get money. And we get a lot of cutbacks because clearly what we say impacts sales.”
Joel (Triple Drain)
“There was a private message sent to the Twip community...about a plan to have Chris win the award...and then one of his followers had said...just stab him when he does give you the award.”
Joel (Triple Drain)
“I honestly don't think it was a good idea that they got rid of the nominations...it's caused a lot of drama in the hobby and it's escalating”
Tom Graff
“None of us started podcasting to compete or claim that we're the best...I hope the numbers come out equal.”
Tom Graff
“The Twippies is literally their world championship. That is. That's the way that I can make an equivalent of it.”
Tom Graff
“It's about celebrating the hobby. Right. It's about celebrating the content creator. So if you're going to do that, I think that the way that they're doing it now is probably the best way to go about it.”
Josh Roop (Loser Kid)
“Watching this reveal, I didn't have that [big question mark]. It's like, okay, there's no mech here that I see concerning. It's more of a, I'm excited to give this a shot.”
Joel (Triple Drain)
“I'm always concerned about small companies and reliability because I am not a mechanic. I don't have the kind of time to work on my games.”
Scott Larson (Loser Kid)
