Notable quotes

“They emptied their warehouse yesterday, so it's just empty. They got all the money. Nobody's getting their money back. It just doesn't feel right.”
Don
“Hadams were supposed to be finished in early 2023. And then by the end of 2023, and then here we are halfway through 2024, still aren't made, yet they're asking for $17,000 for a centaur because it comes with a leather jacket and a helmet. These are not the decisions that cognitively correct people are making.”
Don
“If Damien would have still did like a daily live stream like, hey, here's where we're at. Here's the problems that we have. We need some money, so we're selling foil stickers for $20... I think the community could have worked with them.”
Genghis
“This game, it's so good. It's so fun shots and layout is awesome... after that we just kept on playing we fell in love with this game”
Genghis
“It's not Jersey Jack Guns N' Roses where all the inserts are lit up everything is blinking in multiple colors what the fuck is that?”
Genghis
“$96.99. The same as a Stern Premium that has none of that. None of that. Bam!”
Genghis
“I totally think it's okay to take what's worked really well in pinball before and bring that into your machine. Take the best ideas that you've come across and bring them together. Why is that a bad thing?”
Don
“The diverter just pops up and stays up... The switch up there causes the pop up fast enough that that ball can go then off the field into the Vuck. It's like mind-blowing.”
Genghis
“You are actually a lucky guy if you bought from Zach from Flippin' Out. Because Zach has your back. He will give you money back or you can order a topper or whatever you can.”
Genghis
“Dude, I just want a hat. I want to walk around and film. and if I didn't hear anything, I was going to go out there and just kind of like clandestinely walk around a film.”
Don
