Notable quotes

“Jersey Jack has Harry Potter?!”
Josh Roop (episode title)
“I can confirm that the mock-up that was posted on that Facebook post was indeed Christopher Franchi's art, and that was a Stern machine prototype that he was going to use to hopefully sell this game to WB as a machine that could be made.”
Christian Line
“This was a license that if anyone was going to get, it was going to be Joe. And he was going to do it right. And if anyone was going to design it, it was going to be Joe.”
Josh Roop
“Woman scorned. That's exactly what I thought in my head. I thought this is a woman scorned. There's some sour grapes.”
Scott Larson
“It's been crazy. I don't know. It's been like a thyroid storm level of pinball. All the games released at once.”
Christian Line
“They could even like draw straws to see who gets to release first. I mean, we can make it fair. Just my thoughts. My two cents.”
Josh Roop
“So sus. So weird.”
Josh Roop (via Scott Larson paraphrasing)
“We live an hour and a half away and we may or may not have been known to drive there just to get a sandwich and then drive home.”
Christian Line
