As a GenCon attendee from outside the US, I had no choice but to wait in the Will Call queue. GenCon doesn’t send to non-US addresses. You’d imagine that after spending more to get to the con than US based con goers, that the organisers would make some concessions to non-US attendees, but nooooo. There’s a Latin Lounge where I met some cool guys from Mexico, but apart from that, GenCon’s organisers are indifferent to the point of hostility towards non-US gamers :~\

Thanks for the great con coverage. You're a wonderful ambassador for Gen Con and your raw enthusiasm for the event is infectious. Somehow I've never been to a single Gen Con though I've been aware of them for decades. These videos are so important because they convey the true, pure essence of why you go to these cons: they are just plain awesome and fun to go to. There's so much to see and do. What I appreciate about your vids is that you don't go just to say "I was there" or to score some sort of geek points by saying you went, or to get the con exclusives. You genuinely go to this type of convention to be around fellow travelers and gaming nerds, your people, to soak it all in, to celebrate the joy of the culture and, most of all, to just have a blast for several days. I've been to cons (I even went to a Star Wars Celebration there at that same convention center in Indianapolis) big and small and the experience is like nothing else anywhere. You've managed to capture much of the spirit that takes hold of you when you get there and that's a very cool thing. I guess I'll have to add Gen Con to my list of cons I need to attend. Thanks again.
@TraveltheBoard3 күн бұрын
Thank you so much, for real you get it. I do this because I love this con, it’s become so very special to me. I look forward to it year round. Getting to share it with my friends and meeting so many amazing people while I’m there all with similar interests and just enjoying life together is incredible. I would love to work directly with Gen Con themselves as something like you said an “ambassador” to get the word out to everyone I could. But thank you again for your kind words, I hope to see you at a future Gen Con someday 💜💜💜

Hey Corey! I talked to you in the hallway Thursday and when we departed I was like “I should have got a picture with him!!” It’ll be awesome to have when you are big and famous. We made it a mission to first, find as many Waldo’s as we could, and second, find Corey again. But we spent most of Friday at Lucas Oil and with the train gamers at one of the hotels. You should make a quick visit over there next year and show them some love. Your content is as awesome as ever! It was great meeting you.
