Notable quotes

Well, you love Back to the Future. Yeah, but I'm at peace if it never gets made. Have you? Have you achieved peace? I've achieved peace because I have committed to myself that if it does not get made, I will simply make it.
Zach Manny
I'm fearful that we're getting to the point that we're trying to get as much different features into that selectable one button on the lockdown bar...pretty soon we'll need an Xbox controller.
Dennis (assumed, discussing action button complexity)
I'm already hearing Rush is the new Mystery Castle. If you want to fix your competitive pinball scene, reach out to me. I'll do some consultation work.
Zach Manny
If you hit it once, then you use your weapon. But if you hold it, then you use the diverter. But if you hit it twice in a Morse code fashion, then you pull up your second round of weapons.
Zach Manny
You cannot cage a peacock. It's got to fly. You got to let it fly.
Dennis
But there are some people that just want that game because they want that game. They want that game, play it. You can rename the modes.
Zach Manny
The only thing at this point, there's only two issues. One, you've got such a deep backlog right now...And then the other thing, which I've always pointed out, is Stern has never vaulted White Star, and I still don't think they're going to go to the trouble of converting it.
