Notable quotes
“I'll believe they get one game out this year when a game arrives to somebody. I don't care what they say. Until a game is shipped and somebody's like, hey, I got my whatever.”
“That's so under the water, it's a Russian cruiser.”
“Maybe I'm just biased in favor of games that have mechs in the lower two-thirds.”
“The P3 is a unique thing celebrate that it's a unique thing and understand that that uniqueness just will not appeal to all traditional pinheads because of the way the compromises you had to make.”
“Literally, the only thing that Godzilla didn't win was the thing that they didn't have, so they weren't qualified.”
