Notable quotes

“I'm a pinball fan, so I want to tell people about pinball stuff.”
Steve Bowden
“The dealer dealt me a king and a jack. I have 20. Okay, I'll take it. Okay. The dealer has 21. Okay, whatever. Fine. Okay. But, hey, at least I'm glad to start. I started hearing people say that the game is fun and they like to play it and it's really cool.”
Steve Bowden
“You've got to lock in. Okay, I've got to last that round. I can't do that anymore. I've got to get better the next round.”
Steve Bowden
“I had a group of people who I trusted and cared about knew what they were doing...I'm gonna miss people's names you know jack hager who created the characters”
