Great video, Mort! It was so interesting to see a non-gamer's perspective at a retro game expo. Loved how they approached the challenge and made some unique picks! It's a reminder of how diverse and fun the gaming community can be. Keep up the awesome content! Can't wait to see what other adventures you come up with.🤠👍
It was great to meet you at the convention. You're a good man, and it shows with everything you do. Forgot to tell you that it was retro ricks video of your game room/ garage is what really sparked my interest in retro gaming and collecting. I had taken a break for a while from gaming but now I'm glad to have my childhood back, some of it at least. Much love!
yusssss - actually I went back and bought it for my own collection lol Also, currently editing a segment with you from SEGE for the next Mort's Garage opus. I totally forgot about the musical theater number we recreated - can't wait to get that out there!
Neat video idea. It is insane when you stop and think about the seemingly endless ocean of video games and video game paraphernalia and how overwhelming it must be for someone to walk into that scene with little to no background knowledge.
I got rid of most of my CDs a few years ago but I still have all my Mates of State albums. I’m so glad they are playing music again. Hopefully they swing through Lawrence, KS again!
I’ve always been a big fan of the show “The O.C.” In the fourth season there was bizarro world type Christmas episode. Mates of State did an alternate version of the theme song that was only in that episode! That’s what I know about them😂
@@MortsGarage I actually just listened to it after I posted that comment haha. Don’t think it’s anywhere else really, not even Spotify, it was on an “O.C. Mixtape” CD release of music from the show, but I think that’s about it
I really should have done more of this when I was at SEGE. I never really considered trading up anything I bought towards something better 😂😂😂 Hello novice convention goer lol Aww well, it's looking like we'll get a second chance to do a better job in 2025 😉
It was their first time open on a Friday, so a lot of people were still at work. Saturday was much busier. We purposefully waited to buy anything regardless until doors were open.

Thanks Daniel!! Always great seeing your comments and support 👊
Mates of State! "My Only Offer!!!" That whole album is fantastic! (As are, I'm sure, many of their others)
Yes!!! They’re the best ❤️
Cultured Gamer is the MAN. Great video. I can't believe you had a super famous drummer with you.
You should listen to their tunes :)
“Some of these games can be worth thousands of dollars-
-that is not one.”
Hahaha

How cool! Thanks for your kind words and I’m glad you’re here. Best to you on your collecting journey 👊
Silent Hill Homecoming is an ABSOLUTE gem of a game. Great pick up! ⬆️ (even though you traded it) 😂

@@MortsGarage You have great taste with Homecoming.
Oh man, that’s rad. I cannot wait to see it😜
😂 love the comments about the challenge.
You’re the man Mr Cruz!!
What a fun challenge! Proving once again everyone is a gamer even if they don't know it.
Jason was a great sport to put up with this :)

100% - the more I do this, the smaller it all becomes. I kind of wish I could start over from the knowledge base perspective
Hey Mortimus prime! Thanks for this video. My best to you and your family from Vermont.👍🕹🎮🤓
Wooo! And to you as well :)
Thanks for being a great sport Mort! You picked up some incredible items!
We had a BLAST!
Happy to make it in 🫡 appreciate you bro had a blast
Cheers Doshi!
another great episode Mort! thank you!
Thank YOU Josh!
I saw Mates of State open for Appleseed Cast at Rubber Gloves in Denton TX. They stole the show, Glad they are still doing it! Great Video
YES!! Love them so much!
Was not expecting to see the drummer from Mates of State in retro gaming video!!
Neither was I!
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
I got rid of most of my CDs a few years ago but I still have all my Mates of State albums. I’m so glad they are playing music again. Hopefully they swing through Lawrence, KS again!
YES! Can't wait to hear new music from them
Great video, was so awesome to finally meet in person, hopefully it won't be the last time.
@@8BitGlitch79 definitely not!! Loved getting to meet you in person as well
Mort!! You’re living my dream! What a cool opportunity, man.
Word!
It’s always a pleasure to talk to you, Mr. Mort!!!
Hope you and the girls feeling better! ❤
Always great to see you both!!!
we were confused about the whole mystery brown bag situation to mort it wasn’t just you. Also the fact that they lol’d at the lol game was perfect lol
LOL-CEPTION haha
I love the end when your friends pick up the doll hahaha, like, this is mineeeeeeeeee 😂
Hahaha
Mates of State are one of my favorite bands. Jason seems way cool. Seen them live twice. Bring it Back is a perfect album.
They're even more awesome in person than on stage :)
I have absolutely no idea what the hell you guys did, but I'm glad I watched it!
That's how we felt lol - Love Cruzn though and the whole event!
At 6:14 you introduce the cultured gamer with a verrrry interesting cultured plush behind him :D
No comment
@@MortsGarage
@@griner65 Appreciate you watching!!
What a fun video! Now the real question is, who will be the next musician to guest on your show?!?
@@willywampa84 it’s in the works :)
that first vendor got finessed lol
Doshi is awesome! Retail on those items was $25-$30 so we definitely got a good deal, but finessed may be a tad strong.
I just traded a boxed Mario Paint for a brand new Bugatti Chiron. "No you didn't" "Yes, I did - shut up!" "No, you shut up!" "No, you". Nevermind.
@@billfarismpc sounds stressful!
What a great idea to bring a friend on this challenge! 😂
😊🙌
I’ve always been a big fan of the show “The O.C.” In the fourth season there was bizarro world type Christmas episode. Mates of State did an alternate version of the theme song that was only in that episode! That’s what I know about them😂
This is true! The cover is up on RUclips as well

Looked like a blast! All great deals!
You were missed ❤️🤘
I swore I commented. Anyway, this was awesome. Love his band so much.
Hahaha - you did, but in a reply to another comment. Looooove you ❤️
@@MortsGarage well then….lol
I heard you watched me win the FRAG Ultimate Gamer Challenge at RWX on Saturday. Hope you enjoyed!
I did! Congratulations on the win, really enjoyed the competition :)
I love Mates of State! Rad.
Me too ❤️
I’m from NY CT is right next door another convention/expo with Mort
I was in NyC and Jersey as well!
I need a new Mates of State album like yesterday thank you
YES. SAME.
Brother Rare made it on a Mort video ❤! Cheap Cheap Cheap!
Woah, cool! Um...who is Brother Rare?
John = Rare Video Games on WhatNot
Oh, I still don't know who that is lol
Mort, he’s on your thumbnail 😭 Goodiez
@@3OH3Wes I’M SUCH AN IDIOT! Lol. I think of him purely as Mr Goodiez!
I really should have done more of this when I was at SEGE. I never really considered trading up anything I bought towards something better 😂😂😂 Hello novice convention goer lol
Aww well, it's looking like we'll get a second chance to do a better job in 2025 😉
@@RetroRivals WHAT!?! YOU GUYS COMING BACK????
@@MortsGarage yessir! 4 of us this time. Our friend Marcus wants to come and we're pumped!
Wait!?! What about the draft!?!
I wanted to see the picks!
Still, this was a great video!
They are doing that video on their channel :)
Love your vids mort
How kind of you- thanks!!
This video confused the shit out of me...but I love Mates of State
Sounds like a home run then, yeah?
This challenge made no sense but it was entertaining
It's a metaphor for how life feels sometimes
i sold 2 things on goodiez. 1 got to the buyer, the other was halo 1 on xbox for good ol' jrpg life and it says "in transit" since like may :(
Oh no!!!
Too bad you only were able to get the drummer 😢
Hahaha
Mort!
Forgeion!
suprized u didnt trade the drummer mort haha
Never! Friends don’t let friends trade drummers
Ryan trahan made an appearance
Hahaha
This was wonderful. Also, LOVE Mates Of State.
Doesn't look very busy. VIP day?
It was their first time open on a Friday, so a lot of people were still at work. Saturday was much busier. We purposefully waited to buy anything regardless until doors were open.
