Notable quotes
“we are constantly working on the online system. Sometimes the updates will be small improvements, and sometimes there'll be amazing leaps forward. Stay tuned. The system plan is huge. We are a small team. Remember, we also work on the games.”
“Bye, buddy. Hope you find your dad. Thanks, Mr. Narwhal.”
“Son of a nutcracker!”
“You're very observant, but we're not ready to announce any new designers quite yet.”
“I think this title works because, more so than being a seasonal film, it's a comedy film. And not only is it a comedy film, it is a comedy film that showcases one of the most beloved comedians of our time, Will Ferrell. I think Will Ferrell pins would sell.”
“The fourth annual Shoopy, I think, is happening here in a couple days over on the YouTube channel of Toho.”
“If that doesn't smack you in the face and tell you to wake up, maybe this game is great, then I don't know what will.”
“It was a weird kind of response. Jack said basically he's not at JJP, he's taking time off, and he doesn't know whether he will retire or not. But it doesn't sound like he's coming back to JJP.”
