Yep it'll be 25 hours of driving round trip since we're making a detour to Mall of America as well. Fortunately there will be 3 of us so we will be alternating on the driving. Gonna be a long weekend though!

I'll be there as a first timer. Not looking forward to an 11 hour drive but it's the closest big expo for me. I've been to smaller shows like Retropalooza, Mo Game Con, Super Bit-Con (RIP), so I'm excited to see how a big show is!

No clue! He handed it to the seller and asked how much, assuming the sticker was from a long ago yard sale but the guy said 3 bucks. Funny too because that's the main game my friend was hoping to find at the convention for an OK price.

Here is everything I managed to get at the convention (plus a stop at Trade N Games). I wish I could have purchased more but the venue was past capacity to the point you couldn't even walk. If you stop to look at booths you would block traffic. Definitely a poor venue choice. Still had a good time though!

Went to Mo Game Con over the weekend. Picked up a few ps1 horror staples for myself, but didn't really get much in terms of deals. My friend however found a really confused seller apparently. Great condition and even has the soundtrack! Found it in one of their random tubs.

Before transport.... $6500 :')

I've been chasing this Blockbuster sign for years and it was finally time!

I haven't seen Vampire Robot mentioned on VGS yet. It's tons of b roll footage from as far back as the 70s. Some of my favorites are below. They have over 400 videos so I'm sure there's a bunch of hidden gems in here. PS2 launch at GameStop - https://youtu.be/LQA3NeExAgY FAO Schwarz 1993 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfZWyHt4jTM&ab_channel=VampireRobot KMart 2000 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cssvdA03oYQ&ab_channel=VampireRobot This is just a sample of the video game videos he has. Let me know if you see any particularly cool videos!

This was 6 years ago and it occasionally pops back into my mind and I get mad all over again. It is STILL sticky. Looking back I could have tried using a hair dryer, but I was pissed and just wanted it off.

I think 50 WPM is fine but I would attempt to learn to use all your fingers and without looking. I type 100+ WPM (I thank playing Runescape my entire childhood for that), but it's not all that useful as a software engineer since I spend way more time thinking what to type than actually typing.

I'll take a guide. PMing.

From that Reddit post it looks like it's not too similar to authentic funtastics... Little nervous though since I'm still a few funtastics short Looks like they don't have "Nintendo" written on the top so that's another good indicator for the time being.

I don't know why I picked this up last year but I'll take the W.

Uncharted: First time touching this series. I finished the first game last week. I'm glad it was a shorter game, but it still got a little repetitive. I tried starting 2 last night but just wasn't feeling it (the stealth feels so weird). I might pick it back up in a few months. Spyro: Another series I've never played. I'm playing on the remastered collection. Pretty simple game minus a few levels near the end of the game. I should be finishing it tonight and will probably jump right into 2. Persona 4 Golden: Picked this up after deciding to put Uncharted 2 on hold. I've played Persona 1 (boring), 3 Portable (pretty good but I don't really remember much so I need to revisit), 5 + 5R (contender for my favorite games). I'm not expecting 4 to top 5 but I'm really excited to start.

I think it's a fun, quick playthrough (maybe 10 hours?). I don't think it's a "have to play" game but fun to pop in for a playthrough every few years. It does make me a little depressed throwing my plant friends to their death though... 7/10 for me.
