Quotes (from this video)
- Do I say the words Kingdom Death Monster?
- Are these games still good? I guess is the question. Are they worth saving? Are they worth holding on to? Are they worth purchasing?
- It could be that the quality of the games have just increased so dramatically that these really fall into the wayside.
- Monopoly has opened the door for players all around the world to be very comfortable house ruling and playing from a teach and never actually reading the rule book which in some ways is a benefit to our space.
- I don't think they're good games, but I did grow up loving and enjoying gaming because of them.
- Imagine a, you know, uh, deluxified, you know, full, uh, full build operation game produced by like Awaken Realms or something along those lines...
- Driving is the single most dangerous thing basically any of us do on a daily basis.
