Notable quotes
“He maybe thought that his games were underperforming and maybe stuff was taken out of him and feels like he needed a change and feels like Jersey Jack's the answer”
“I only got a few more years of making pit bull machines, and I want to go out big”
“The handcuffs are off. You know, I can do whatever I want.”
“I'm paying for this, yet I can't even maximize the one thing that I'm drawn to the most about it. Like I don't get all the benefit out of that.”
“This product is just geared to getting people to go to a location. That's by far what's going on here.”
“If you're going to say verified and location-only achievements, I think that would have worked out a lot better than just saying, oh, you only get half of the XP for doing it at home.”
“Stern has so many different games in their stable that pretty much I think as long as they get pinball minds in there and everybody's bouncing ideas off each other, I think it'll be okay.”
“I haven't drank enough beer, Joel. Perfect. You haven't drank enough of Tom's beer?”
