Notable quotes
“This is the greatest game ever made.”
“The fact is it's selling. And I know that Stern, as far as I know, the first couple of runs are pretty much all but sold out if you're looking for a premium or an LE.”
“La Via Estrangiato is completely made up. That's why I can't pronounce it.”
“I want to see more of this. I want to see the band involved in their own pinball machine because it brings an extra depth to it.”
“If you look at it it's very similar to X-Men...I never connected with it...however...it shoots really well so I was excited.”
“You're wasting more time on hoops than when you are creating a great product.”
“They chose the right ones. And it sounds like Ed won on Levi Estrangiato, which is an instrumental.”
“I was nervous because most people have commented and appropriately so that this is a very similar layout to X-Men.”
