Notable quotes
“We're three guys who like a dunkin' ball. So we came up with a class last name... We call ourselves Triple Drain”
“It's been two months, February 13th... We apologize. It's been two months, but here we are.”
“I think collectors like moments. And if they're in the middle of a moment where that worm is dancing and the couch is dancing and they drain, like, I don't think that's as much of a hurt as like, if somebody put Beetlejuice in a tournament”
“What you're saying is collectors like to be frustrated when they're playing pinball... I think collectors like moments.”
“Drop the tournament player thing. Yeah, so I think people just get in their own heads.”
“Everybody needs to start ripping beers more and just play pinball and let it fly and stop worrying so much about everything.”
“I like it. It's a hard, hard question, which is better, Beetlejuice or Evil Dead? But right now I'd lean towards Evil Dead, but Evil Dead is also a complete game.”
“I've run out of complaints... I'm already excited out of the game. I'm pumped to get the game.”
“The code, the code, the code thing... If people realize and they hear that, hey, they like if they claim the code shallow, whether it's true or not, whether they claim rules aren't fun, whether it's true or not... It affects cells greatly every single time”
