Yeah, it won’t be a highly viewed vid but those who watch I wanted to make it feel like they were there 🤷🏼♂️ Had a great time indeed, thank you as always for watching John!!! ❤️🎮
That was an impressive and astonishing play area. I really appreciate how you just took your time and just gave us the Rob walkthrough. It’s refreshing by comparison to how most of these recaps are made (including mine). You’ve given me something to think about when making these kinds of videos.
The amount of games in the vendor hall was astounding! I thought I saw you walking around while I was there. The variety was pretty good too. Every game that was on my list was there. A great time was had and there was something for everyone. My recommendation to anyone attending with kids is to bring them on Sunday instead of Saturday. The crowds were very large Saturday, but on Sunday it was about half the amount of people. Vendor hall was easier to navigate and very few lines for anything including food.
Oh dang, you shoulda said hello! And yes, there was something for everyone!!!! Also agreed, Sunday was way more relaxed. Im glad you had a good time my friend, as did I! Thank you for watching, it’s always appreciated! ❤️🎮
Looks amazing man! Thanks for sharing your experiences. I’ve never been to a retro gaming convention before! All of them are just so far from me. Maybe this year I try to go to the Portland one! 🦎🦎🦖🦖
It was a blast but long and tiring lol. Hopefully you go and Portland is in my list too so maybe we will meet up! Thank you as always for watching my friend!!! ❤️🎮
Its so easy to get overwhelmed at these conventions. I also was at MGC and feel like I missed out on a ton of stuff as usual. I really need to try and go to more than one day one of these years!
This convention looks interesting. I'm from New York and there is a similar convention called the long Island retro gaming expo that I usually attend every year. They have a museum setup like the one you showed in your video as well as vendors and retro gaming systems for everyone to play. Even original arcade machines are on free play there. RUclipsrs who are big in the gaming scene come by to speak at panels. I see John Riggs was in your video. I met him when he came to long Island retro and bought a dreamcast game that he created. I enjoy going to these conventions and I wish I had time to attend the ones in other states like the Midwest one
Dude I’m glad you didn’t get sick but this display is absolutely sick!! Wish there was something like this in my area. May have to make a trek some day. Great video as always! Can’t wait for the ps2 video! Rock on, Rob!!
Me toooo! Lol, it was definitely a great time and I hope you do make it out, I’ll be going next year again! And yep still a few vids coming out before the PS2 one but soon! Thank you for the kind words and watching my friend!!! ❤️🎮
It was so cool to meet you dude. Speaking of the Keanu jokes I was watching the matrix last night lol. This was a great video I made one like this last year but I love how in depth it was. As cool as running the bonus stage is there's so much stuff that we miss because we don't really get to leave so watching this was fun. The cartridge evolution was cool to see and yea they should have picked a better jaguar game.
Very cool to meet you as well, next time we gotta get a photo! I need to catch up on your vids too, you guys did a great job with the panels! I appreciate you watching my friend and thank you for the kind words!!! ❤️🎮
So stoked that MGC was such a great experience for you. It was great meeting you. Next year we better get a photo together and better yet, I'd love to get you on the bonus stage and talk some gaming. Happy Gaming my friend.
It really was! And yes, I was very excited to meet as well my friend and yes I was absolutely bummed we didn’t do a photo but sometimes you’re just living in that moment. And man, I would absolutely love to talk gaming with you!!! Thank you so much again for being a good soul! ❤️🎮
Was nice to meet you at MGC. I had a fun time at the convention talking with you and the other youtubers. Hopefully I get to run into you again at another convention down the road. Was nice to get a peek at the hardware display, I forget to check it out half the time I'm there, saw a few things in there I'd like to own.
Great to meet you as well, I was very happy to talk with you! I’ll be going to SEGE in South Carolina next and then I’m not sure where after my friend, thank you for being amazing! ❤️🎮
So great man!! I’m honestly a little jealous! Wish I could have gone. The history of games and gaming is important and really cool man! Another excellent video my friend! 🤘🏻🇺🇸🦅🤘🏻
Thank you Dean! Hopefully when you’re not busy saving the world you can go to some of these, for sure the ones in Texas and we can meet up! I appreciate the kind words and you watching as always!!! 🤘🏼❤️🎮
Was a pleasure to get to speak with you for awhile. Looks like you had an absolute blast. There is so much to see and do its hard to take it all in at times. Hope to run into you again next year!
Same my friend, was very happy to finally meet! And it was definitely a great time, I’ll for sure go back and maybe we can hang out more. Thank you for watching and the kind words! ❤️🎮
This was my second year at the show and I hope I never miss it. I didn’t film at all though. I was too dang busy game hunting. You did a great job capturing footage.
It would have been so cool to have gone and had the chance to meet you! Cracks me up how many conventions have tattoo stations set up now. lol Maybe one day I should finally get some skin art done. I love the gaming museum session; it's funny how everybody shows off the cartridge display though I'd love to have that hanging on the wall. Totally agree that the people and their joy and the interactions are the best part of ANY event. You know, we often hear the "live in the moment" line...we may need to address that in a future video. Hmmm...;-) The fact that you can play so many of the old consoles too is epic; I love that; not only getting to see the history of gaming but interact with it. I spy a Terranigma! Question--were there very many games here? I don't know if you showed much footage of that. lol It's insane how many vendors are on hand; trying to find that best deal can be so tricky. TC is a sweetheart; we met him the year we went to MGC and he was such a good guy. You met some good peeps, very nice.
I have no doubt we will meet one day, I definitely look forward to it! This was an amazing weekend for sure, I’m truly living a dream right now especially having met amazing people, traveling and just enjoying what comes next! I thank you as always for watching and supporting, I’ll be catching up on your vids too including that new VGM I saw today! Keep being amazing!!! ❤️🎮
Man, great Video!!. I would have loved to have went. Last show I went to was the PlayStation Event in Vegas back in 2014. I would have had a blast w the retro pc's and consoles. I dig PatmanQC, John Hancock, and so many more. Did you drive up or flew? I had and have so many of the old consoles and PC's. I'd definitely would watch any more footage you had if you want to share some!
Thank you my friend! It was amazing and I played so many of those consoles lol. I drove as usual 🤷🏼♂️ And thank you for the kind words and watching!!! ❤️🎮
What a weekend! I'm both still tired AND ready to plan for our next con. Vendor question - what do you think about vendor booths that really go above and beyond, with decor, experiences etc... Tacky and annoying, or awesome?
It was fun indeed, so good to see you again and meet the fam this time! I thought the vendors were laid out and presented like most expos/cons I go to and I had good experiences with all of them honestly 🤷🏼♂️
Excellent coverage my friend
Thank you Pat! So glad we finally met, absolute legend sir!!! ❤️🎮
Frank in the video is with Premium Edition games, I said Premier…ugh every vid there’s something 🙄
Thanks for watching everyone!!!
Man the hardware on display here is an absolute treasure trove! It's a borderline museum. Glad you had such a good time!
Yeah, it won’t be a highly viewed vid but those who watch I wanted to make it feel like they were there 🤷🏼♂️
Had a great time indeed, thank you as always for watching John!!! ❤️🎮

MWG Classic hype!
Oh hey Lady! I’m literally about to watch your vid right now lol
Its so easy to get overwhelmed at these conventions. I also was at MGC and feel like I missed out on a ton of stuff as usual. I really need to try and go to more than one day one of these years!
Oh nice! Yeah I do the two days to hopefully get deals on Sunday! I hope you enjoyed the time you had though!
That's too cool!
Thank you!!! ❤️🎮
Looks amazing Rob 🎉

Yay you watched!!! I can’t wait either! ❤️🎮
Dude Midwest looked amazing!! That free play section was insane!! I would love to go next year
You should brother, we can hang out!!! ❤️🎮

Great video man, wish I could’ve been there! Our first console was an Intellivision. Great memories!
Thanks my friend! Definitely a great time! Dang, that’s a solid start for sure! I appreciate you watching as always ❤️🎮
Man I wish we bad something like this out here! Probably a good thing we don’t… my wallet would be destroyed 😂 awesome video Rob!
Oh believe me, I had to hold back plenty!!! Lol, really glad you liked it my friend!

Where is PatManQC? LOL that place is totally endless. Can't wait to see John Riggs wrestle!😁💪
I was in one of his vids also, I got to do some voiceover work for his video on the history of Mappy! And yep, Riggs wrestling should be interesting!
21:31 LEGENDARY STATUS
Still can’t believe the whole weekend my friend, just amazing
Was a pleasure to get to speak with you for awhile. Looks like you had an absolute blast. There is so much to see and do its hard to take it all in at times. Hope to run into you again next year!

The history of consoles WAS NOT boring but that's just me, awesome video and glad you have a great time :) !
Lol, no I know! I know who will appreciate and who won’t 😉
And yep was a great time indeed!!! ❤️🎮
This was my second year at the show and I hope I never miss it. I didn’t film at all though. I was too dang busy game hunting. You did a great job capturing footage.
You can use any of my footage if you need to! I hope you had an amazing time, I definitely did! Cannot wait to go back next year!
It would have been so cool to have gone and had the chance to meet you!
