Episode 74 - The Mind of Scott Danesi

“it's way more impactful to the pinball industry me doing stuff and building these things at pinball life than it is for me building games and releasing those as weird as that sounds”

“I have one year to get this thing to Expo, and it has to play at least enough to where people can flip it.”

“If you want to actually build something that you have a vision for, you have to utilize off-the-shelf parts. You have to utilize as many smart people that you have access to to get things done. Don't try to reinvent every single thing.”

“I was kind of frustrated by this. And I'm like, I want to build something that my friends and I really love. Like, we love these era of games. We love to just play dollar games on these things, get our asses handed to us in a total of five minutes for all of us to play.”

“the pinball is not supposed to be easy i feel like people forget that we're safe is that the history of pinball was it has to be fun enough to get your quarters and mean enough to make money for the operator and that's like the the mindset that created the hobby we love”

“That's the nice part about physical locks. Yeah, shooting a ball at a hole in the play field that's lit green or whatever is just not – it's like ball locks. You're like, great, yeah, but where's the ball?”

“I don't like safe games like, you know, there's some people do. I get it. You know, I understand, you know, there is a need for some safe games with long roll sets, but it's just not something I'm into.”

“That's fucking bullshit, dude. That sucks. That's fucking lame.”
