Quotes (from this video)
  • Hey everybody, I'm Tom Vasel and welcome to look back where I take a look at reviews that I did last year, 5 years ago, 10 years ago, and 20 years ago during this same time frame. And I tell you what I think about those games now if I think about them at all.
  • Wasn't reviewing a lot of great games 10 years ago.
  • It blows my mind this game's 10 years old now and everyone has forgotten it ever existed.
  • This might have been the first game that I really like noticed who he was.
  • Destinies could have been even greater, um, but it was very good for its time.
  • And those are the games that I reviewed 1, 5, 10, and 20 years ago. Thanks for watching. I'm Tom Vasel and this is look back on the Dice Tower.
