Notable quotes
“Once you go black and white, you never go back.”
“my favorite thing about the game is not playing it. It's I loved the color I loved Zombie Yeti's artwork and the color scheme and once you add the art blades that thing just fucking pops it's beautiful it really is beautiful”
“If you're at a job and for like two years straight, you're like, oh, I hate everything about this... get laid off or quit that shit. Because it's true. After a while, it's just a blessing in disguise.”
“Pinball's hard. It's impressive what Stern does. It's impressive what Spooky and Jersey Jack do.”
“Pinside is the rotten death hole of pinball on the internet.”
“John Wick absolutely destroyed Pulp Fiction and earnings”
“I've stayed off of Instagram, Facebook... and it just feels even better. So I stayed off of social media entirely all the way up until pinball party”
“If this was like a Bram Stoker's Dracula in black and white, easy black and white. Faux show.”
