Quotes (from this video)
- by my estimation there are 3.6 million games released each week which doesn't sound right now I say it out loud but there are a ton aboard card and tabletop games released each month so it's inevitable that some of them are going to slip the cracks like some kind of determined eel or greased baboon
- Chaz is created a mysterious an intricate programmatic formula which assigns each of these games an underdog score ranging from 1 to 100 while it is true that I don't fully understand chances formula I've seen it it's a lie and I think it might be sentient possibly evil
- MKULTRA was proven to be real and it's not just me thinking this TVs can see you all pigeons are Holograms now that's only imported because there's also this evil demon horse radishes only came into existence five years ago it's the mandala effect Apple computers are reverse engineered technology from a downed alien spaceship the Berenstein bears fun not today Internet
- Yes well done Chaz what a way to treat a classic cornerstone a modern board-gaming with the respect it deserves
- please I can't stress this enough never represent yourself in court ever

Quotes (from this video)
- Meetings are one of the best inventions of modernity that have ever been dreamt up.
