Notable quotes

“The Shark adds some depth adds some uh strategy there it's really cool... it feels more akin to a Godzilla rule set than anything else he's done.”
Josh Roop
“Stumbler has made me a believer in mods. he is next level like the man is insane when it comes to mods”
Matt Scott Larson
“when i look at stumbler mods they do... it was meant to be in the game right”
Matt Scott Larson
“The Games behind me, excluding Godzilla, don't look at it, they don't have mods. I've had World Cup Soccer for almost a decade now. I've never modded the game. I don't see really a point.”
Josh Roop
“if you're going to do a sequel, George Gomez, to Deadpool, do a Deadpool Wolverine. Yes. I am not kidding. Sell that. Package it. Get the licensing for it. That will sell.”
Matt Scott Larson
“is John Wick too violent for Sam Stern Pinball's brand that they're aiming for nowadays?”
Matt Scott Larson
“i have not watched Game of Thrones (Premium Edition) nor will i watch Game of Thrones (Premium Edition) because it is too much for me”
Josh Roop
“The beauty of living in a free country, folks... They are not catering to all audiences.”
Josh Roop
“John Wick kill count is 439. Yikes. That is a lot of people.”
Josh Roop
“if you made it just off of 1, it was a soft R. But the only reason it was an R was because of the violence. It doesn't even say the F word once.”
Josh Roop
