Notable quotes

I make a prediction right now. Barrels of Fun is going to be the contender in the top three moving into the next three years. When we're talking top pinball machines making pinball, Barrels of Fun is going to be in that list.
Josh Roop
This is just phase one. All these licenses we're seeing, Winchester, Dune, and Labyrinth... the license that are coming to them after seeing the product, they're promising quite a big stuff in the store.
Josh Roop (quoting Brian/David)
after this, I'm going to believe in barrels now. Don't get me wrong. Labyrinth is a good team. It's not a team for me... But this is three games. And three solid games. And so I think we can say Barrels has arrived.
Josh Roop
Portal feels fantastic... It makes it feel like it could be a standalone pinball machine... this feels like a machine.
Scott Larson
I think at this point in pinball where it's at currently in the hobby, I think a lot of it's long players, right? I think it has to be because... you have to give them a little bit more of an experience.
Josh Roop
Spooky was so brilliant locking him down. He's good. Way good... This dude has been at it hard since we started.
Scott and Josh
I think if you're looking for immersion and an experience this is definitely one for the collection... Spooky has always done great with art... they've always been a plus on art yes they've always been a plus on immersion
Josh and Scott on Evil Dead
It's a Borg. And so he's known for having fast designs... Metallica is challenging. Yes, it definitely is... So he's known for Rush... And so, like, where, you know you were going to get this with Jumble.
