Notable quotes
“This is a way to say to women and non-binary people and gender non-conforming people, hey, you have a place in this hobby and we want to carve out that special place.”
“I am allowing suppressed and opted out players for this tournament. There is a lot of stuff going on in the background for IFPA right now.”
“Once they watch competitive pinball, they fall in love.”
“The tilt is tight. Yep. And you know, this is one of those games where it's going to come down to this game for finals or something.”
“Heaven forbid Chuckwurt puts a tournament on that doesn't have Diamond Lady in it.”
“What I found is that people who tune into competitive pinball for the first time, even people who know nothing about competitive pinball, if they like solid competition, if they like gaming at all, and even folks who are kind of into sports, like who kind of want to just see what this thing is about, once they once they watch competitive pinball, they fall in love.”
