Quotes (from this video)
  • So the next time somebody asks you why do you play so many board games you can reference these studies and say hey look the more board games I play the less chance that I'd not forget was no.
  • The best way I can describe it is if you were to take the movie Pacific Rim and make a board game out of it that's it.
  • Well to me a flop isn't necessarily a movie that's bad I have other names and terms and words that I use for bad movies when I think the word flop I think did it perform as expected at the box office and with this one it did not and so in my opinion I do think it was a flop at the box office.
