Notable quotes

“since there's no stream in the DFW area, we were driving home from one of the free play locations and we just started talking like, let's start our own.”
Clark McCoy
“we're not really competing with each other we're just a different channel down the dial and we're just putting competitive pinball out there”
Jamie
“I'm an anxious person. I can't help myself. And when cameras go out... I'm on the mic and I'm running the stream. And it's kind of like a one-man show for that thing.”
Jamie
“OBS is a black box to me. I press a button, it gives an input sometimes and then other times it just... Mark is the man behind the scenes so you better be nice to that dude”
Jamie
“we even – the Abilene Showdown Locust still has a wormhole on it too. As far as Texas Pinball goes, you're the guy I want to do the big tournaments.”
Jamie
“It is. It's a party event with some points. Yeah, lots of points involved. Sunday will be more serious.”
Jamie and Keith
“If we're going to get people out to Abilene We can't run a one day tournament No one's going to come out here So let's copy District 82 Let's run Four tournaments in a weekend”
Keith Shahan
“They're laying down blueprints for us, and we're going to copy the hell out of it.”
