Notable quotes

“they're just putting out these awesome games every three months if you didn't like the theme with john wick i love the theme you can just wait and three months later you will get another game”
Cengiz
“The dude is a machine as far as like you know being the leader of the group coordinating everything taking his vision and putting it in there...he doesn't just design a layout and step away i mean he's in there participating with the code”
Don
“Quint is man's fallacy. Quint is man's hunt for the unachievable. It's the Icarus story with a shark on the water.”
Cengiz
“If I am, where's all my kickbacks? I mean, there was this guy. He was called Johnny or something...I said, no, look at my video I did about Batman 60 Sucks.”
Cengiz
“I love in that game the fact that it enrages haters even makes me love it more.”
Don
“when you drain out of the ring it's like you got thrown over the top rope or you jumped out through the ropes or something and now you're fighting and battling like outside the ring”
Don
