Notable quotes
“I am time from five cities pinball”
“He was basically as much of a pinball god tier person as you could be. He was well-known, well-respected, and his work backed it up.”
“pinball is awesome playing pinball is awesome it is just a box of lights that we all love to interact with. But the truth is that this hobby really takes a whole nother step when you get to know people in the hobby”
“That's what it is. And it's five in a row. So you could have four amazing games, and then if you bomb on your fifth game, you basically trash your card.”
“It's going to be super stressful too. Let's face facts, Tom. This is not an easy tournament.”
“I was just enough, but the really the selling part was the beginning...I am time from five cities pinball”
“his games are going to be played for many, many, many years to come”
“That's what I'm seeing most out of this is people are sharing different Lyman stories and you're discovering that these people aren't just in one spot. They're everywhere.”
