Notable quotes
“it's a lot more expensive, like on all fronts, old and new. All the games are way more expensive. But there is so much more of a community now.”
“Pick your truth, right? Well, I think people pick their truth that resonates more with them... Confirmation bias? Exactly.”
“Did you have fun playing that game? Doesn't matter who it came from or what the theme is. Why are podcasters obsessed about it?”
“she's one of pinball's saints, like for sure... Within the world of pinball. Step outside, things get great. Oh, she's vile.”
“It's one of these ones where it's all been revealed and people have shat all over it. But my absolute favorite one, someone said, oh, no Dancing Queen on the playfield. Oh, I'm out. It's got Dancing Queen on the playfield. Brilliant.”
“We used to have our weekly tournaments, we'd have 10 to 12 people. Now it's not weird for over 40 to show up to the weeklies.”
“I like competing more than anything in pinball now. It's by far my favorite way to enjoy pinball is competition.”
“Back then, when it was either you or Nate, whoever it was that was talking about pinball, it was considered factual broadcasting... Whatever you said... that was the truth.”
