Great sound

[@DadRacer]

Pretty awesome. Like you said, I’d probably have a hard time honing in. Easy to get overwhelmed for sure. Nothing like this in my area.

[@KindaCool]

It takes some practice to get it down. There is always a bit of FOMO that’s going to be with you (especially in those first 20 minutes), but you have to just keep a zen-like calm. Understand that the right place for a great deal is the place you currently are standing. :)

[@sector7itemshop973]

Heyyyy... thanks for sharing some of our shops. That first one is me with the boxes and the pixel painting shop is my friend Pixel Art Paintings, he does amazing work! The LED stands was Jordan Dunford's booth and the cool 3d Printing set up looks like PMP Creationz.

[@KindaCool]

No problem! Thanks for making so much cool stuff to check out. :) The more I look at that Castlevania box, the more I think I want it! Do you have any links for purchasing your items? If so, I can add them to the description of this video.

[@sector7itemshop973]

@@KindaCool Hey, yeah! My site will be back up on Friday the 30th since I'm uploading unsold inventory. The Castlevania tray sold, but I'm always up for making another or making a custom, just shoot me a message. Here's everyone's info from the 4 I noticed. Not sure who that Tee vendor was. sector7itemshop.com @sector7itemshop pixelartpaintings.com @pixelartpaintings Jordan Dunford www.etsy.com/shop/Suite68 www.etsy.com/shop/PMPCreationz @pmpcreationz

Wow that’s retro gaming heaven. Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@KindaCool]

No problem - glad you enjoyed it!

[@onemorequarter1087]

Excellent walkthrough man. That event looked great so many games and people. You have to give us a video on what you pick up. Thanks cheers

[@KindaCool]

I had a few solid pickups, but nothing mind blowing. I came in with some specific targets and I'd say for the most part, they were accomplished. I'm behind on pickups videos overall, so I'll probably roll everything I got here into the next one along with other stuff I've acquired over this last month. Thanks for stopping by and watching!

[@madness3795]

Sweet spot to go to. Be safe thank you for the video bro

[@KindaCool]

Yeah, this event is a nice way to spend a day or two. Thanks for watching !

[@aepsira9220]

Got my tickets for this year's Game Fest, it'll be my first time going. I'm legit excited!

[@KindaCool]

Awesome! I’m pretty confident I’ll be back this year as well. 🙂

[@SeexyMoster]

Same here...the one for last year was awesome and I even participated in some of their tournaments 😬

[@KindaCool]

@@SeexyMoster Nice! Did you win? 😁

[@2MannyGaming]

Good video!!! I can't wait for next year.

[@KindaCool]

Yep, I'm already looking forward to it myself!

[@ThatGuyIsWill]

Great video! I had a blast this year :D

[@KindaCool]

Same here, it was great to be back! Thanks for watching!

[@MockingjayYT]

Omg, I'd be in heaven 😮

[@KindaCool]

It feels like a little slice each time you can make it out there! ;)

[@ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom]

Thanks for sharing this! Good stuff. I will have to make it to one of these someday. I hope you got some good pick ups.

[@KindaCool]

These are definitely good times! I was so glad to get back to one after over a year of them simply not happening or being outright cancelled.

[@LusRetroSource]

Oh wow! I can last all day there checking everything out. Enjoyed the tour!

[@KindaCool]

Yeah, it’s pretty easy to spend hours in there. It’s a two day event, and while I didn’t do that this year, I sometimes come back for day two just to try and fully take it all in…

[@stealthiestboy]

Great tour. I love watching these type of videos after attending the event myself. Nice to see booths I've been at and seeing stuff through a different perspective.

[@KindaCool]

Thanks for stopping by and checking this out. Perhaps we’ll bump into each other there next year! :)

[@broseb8050]

Oooooo. Going to check this

[@KindaCool]

Please do! Those are fun times indeed…

[@oldschoolgamesstories]

That looks like a lot of fun. Hopefully we have something like that soon in N.C.!

[@KindaCool]

Hopefully so! If not, you could always head down south for a visit. We’ve got Retropalooza coming up in Dallas next! :D

[@NotoriousCIB]

Nice video, man! I saw a big box Bomberman 2 on snes that had me drooling. Really cool to see those giant arcade cartridges. I’ve only seen those a few times, but they always look interesting. $20 a box for all those consoles? Amazing, dude! That pixel art was pretty neat as well. I’d love to see what you picked up in a follow-up video. Also, I didn’t think the camera work was jittery at all. Well edited and professionally shot, in my opinion. I thoroughly enjoyed this. 🤠

[@KindaCool]

Funny you should mention that Bomberman! I had that in my hands for an in depth look right after a panned through and shot that video. Seriously thought about bringing it home there for few moments. I'll probably roll everything I got into a pick ups video that covers the past month or so. Thanks for checking this out!

[@charlieb308]

How much were the original Xbox ?

[@KindaCool]

I don’t recall, but usually at these types of conventions they can usually be had from around $65 - $85 depending on condition…

[@pmpcreationz]

Glad you liked our stuff! It's also really cool to see what other people had at their booths!

[@KindaCool]

Thanks for watching! My wife loves her coasters BTW! I'm pretty sure you guys built those, but it seems like there was some blending of the booths going on over in that corner of the show, so I'm not 100% sure. :)

[@pmpcreationz]

@@KindaCool I'm so glad to hear that 😊! Those coasters are actually made by my friend @LyveArch and she had a spot at my booth! All my stuff was the custom consoles and 3D printed items.

[@retroprojections]

Man, I love your videos, but I had to stop this one after a couple minutes. It's not your fault! Just seeing that many people in a confined space really triggers my social anxiety. I hope you got some good deals. It seems like loads of fun going to conventions and markets and such, I just can't handle it myself.

[@KindaCool]

Yeah, you wouldn't have enjoyed this one in that case. There were a LOT of people at this one, more than I can even remember! That free-play arcade would have probably done a number on you, it was probably a bit too intense for me as I'm still getting used to all of this full crowd stuff again! ;)

[@askthecheesegaming3165]

What a con! I wonder if this ever comes in Ohio

[@KindaCool]

Thanks for stopping by! Yeah these are a blast. If they aren’t in your neck of the woods, do try to make it somewhere and check one out…

[@askthecheesegaming3165]

@@KindaCool thanks for the heads up, we have colissicon and wizard world in our area.
