Notable quotes
“Quit trying to make Expo a thing. All right? It's dead. It's done. We're done with it.”
“This shark, I got to be honest. This is the most 3D printed shark to ever 3D print a 3D print. I mean, the edges on that shark are rough.”
“If your favorite barbecue sauce is Sweet Baby Ray's, you're wrong. It is not. You just haven't had any actual barbecue sauce.”
“We've become the Ron Hallett juniors of pinball... we've been at the hobby long enough that there are very few games other than the new things that we have never played before”
“Did it feel that there were more games, especially like two times the number that there were last year? No. Yeah. And there's no way.”
