Notable quotes
“I want a company to be able to say, you know what? This code out of box is complete, but we are going to add additional polish to it as we see fit.”
“It just seems like to me Avengers is a whole different animal. It's got five or six different strategies, and they're all viable strategies according to what your skill set is.”
“When I see it all lit up, like it's almost like a Vegas show with all the lights and everything. It just doesn't strike me as Halloween. It just doesn't.”
“Ultraman was way better. Yeah, it looks so much better. It blew Halloween out of the water.”
“I don't really like either of the themes, so I don't know if I can really give either of them justice. But from what I saw gameplay-wise, I just wasn't really excited about either of them.”
“It's kind of like I compare it to chess all the time. You know, you know where the pieces move, but then there's different openings. There's different tactics.”
“That soundtrack was playing for three and a half straight minutes and I sat here and I was just wondering what am I doing with my life still having this play.”
