Notable quotes

the cornerstone of this podcast, the biggest leg of the three-legged stool, Tom Graff, is not here
Joel
he decided to play in a pinball tournament instead to win some money... World Championship thing, something like that, next month to play in down in Florida
Joel
I got a job with the pinball company as basically their marketing officer... I can't really reveal yet, but there'll be a lot more stuff coming along
Travis
if you're a buyer, if you're waiting on that game, I know they're slowly trickling out... if you're excited about that game and Cactus Canyon is a game that you enjoy, you will like the game
Joel
It is hidden. It is hidden. And that's the problem... if they're hidden, when you do need to use them, you don't know where they are
Travis
I never hit the upper flipper shot... without visually seeing the flipper, it's just a guess until you get used to the timing
Joel
if they would have had five weird owls there for sale, just like highest bidder, I get the feeling they might have been able to sell them for about $13,000 to $15,000 each
Joel
it's by far my favorite American pinball game produced... the shots, the lights, the way that the rules were set up. I really enjoyed it
Travis
I would actually seriously consider having one of these at my house. I was, I was that impressed by it
Travis
