East Coast VIDEO GAME HUNTING & Expo + PICKUPS (PSP, Vita, MS-DOS, 3DS )

[@CJsGamingchannel]

It was a pleasure meeting you Metal Jesus!! I’m CJ, the girl who had the Pokemon bus display! Just posted my video with you as well, I was so nervous meeting you so I was rambling haha! But you’re a stand up guy and I wanted to say thank you so much for taking the time to shoot a little clip with me. It means so much! 😊

[@username_redacted_1987]

I was nervous meeting him too. Lmao.... I probably came off as so weird to him. Lol

[@smoke4824]

@@username_redacted_1987 it's cool relax I'm metal jesus younger bi nephew he knows all his fans are weird dont worry about it at all, perfectly normal 😊

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Clarification: I don't yet have a complete PSP collection, just that I want to go for one. I have a little over 200 titles to go (there are 606 total in North America)

[@MisfitoX]

What about your vita collection?

[@rushkiss2012]

Could you add the panel segment part in another video?

[@MrJmd116]

I see that top speed on the forza horizon 5 drag strip. Your goin down….. eventually 😆

[@Roxxxxxxxbottttter]

Are you going for umds too?

[@ericko777]

I've been collecting a bunch of Maddens and Fifas. Great time and they're a lot of fun once you get better at it. Easy 30-45 min pick up and play games

[@Chronis67]

I feel like MJR secretly wants to become a travel channel for gamers. And I'm ok with this.

[@zanychelly]

That would be really cool. Tips and tricks when on the road, by Metal Jesus Rocks.

[@DiskCart]

Was great to meet you and get my backpack signed! Always afraid to meet the channels I watch because you never know if someone will end up being a jerk. You were just like you are in the videos a badass metal dude thats super kind. Hope to see you at another con in the future!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

You're the best! Thanks dude 🤘

[@pigs18]

Dude! Wish I known that you were there, DC. I would have loved to have met you. (MJR fans, go check out his channel. It focuses on game room setups and ideas.)

[@RetroMaster64]

Hi disk cart! Im a fan!

[@LonSeidman]

It was great meeting up with you in my home state! Thanks for giving some love to Hartford too!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

You bet Lon! Now we just gotta get you out to the Seattle/Portland area.

[@Mcoskii]

@@MetalJesusRocks I enjoyed the convention as well (though I didn’t really chat with you or anything like that on Saturday (and I would’ve mentioned the rpgmaker game Omori as it’s such a good game), I still enjoyed the expo and got to chat a bit with the guy who owns the channel gaming historian (btw not sure if you saw me or not, but I had glasses and was wearing a mostly black shirt that was also white (it is an Omori shirt))

[@jacobsmith640]

It was such an honor meeting you last week at the expo!!! Thanks for awnsering my questions about the Steam Deck and taking a look at my limited edition and modded consoles. Also thanks for taking a pic with me Rock On Metal Jesus!! 🤘🏾

[@MetalJesusRocks]

You bet!

[@nez4697]

Watching you for so many years now. I like to say, you rockkkkkk dude. Keep it honest and cool that’s what makes you great. I respect your honesty and just being a good human and simple guy. Thanks Metal J

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I appreciate that!

It was great talking with you Pixel Dan

[@justinmohan7103]

You and Metal Jesus should do some kind of collaboration.

I love the unique perspective of someone from the western part of the country being amazed at how old the buildings are. Being from Massachusetts, I kind of take the historical significance of the buildings for granted since I’ve been around them my entire life. I was bummed I had to skip attending this year’s expo but I hope to be there next year!

Man, between your editing style and the 4K, it’s like a mix of the old with the new, the perfect retro. Keep up the insanely good vids!

[@canvasquest9028]

Hey MJR, Excellent vid! I’m Tom from Canvas Quest-- the guy who had the adventure game pins and magnets on canvas. Thanks so much for the shout out at 6:04 and for coming by our booth. It was a total blast to meet you and I’m really happy you liked our stuff! We’re passionate about making our old adventure game favorites! (with many more to come! :D) Thanks again and happy to shoot over some social media and shop links of ours if there is anything else you’d like!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Hey Tom! I couldn't find my footage of the name of your booth for some reason, which is why I didn't include it in the video. So THANKS for commenting! I mailed a package back home via UPS with your pins in it and other stuff. Thought they'd be here by now for the video, but I'll share them on social media when they arrive! So much cool stuff at your booth 👍

[@canvasquest9028]

[@PN_Guinn]

So glad you had an awesome time! Unfortunately I missed you...the line for you was nuts on day one. But that's Hartford, man - still metal, through and through. It was heartwarming to see considering we lost our one rock station years ago (WCCC). Thanks for coming!

[@GeometryWars]

Great video. I was happy to be able to meet you there. Glad that you had a fun time

[@alexkos9207]

So awesome meeting you at the expo. You are such a legend and I love how passionate you are about gaming. I also can’t believe my picture made it in the video!! Hope you can make it back to CT in the future!

I will be back. Oh yes. 😎

[@rawisrel]

It was so great to finally meet you! You're the reason I bought a ticker this year. I hope you had a chance to check out some of the local retro game shops in CT. If you come back next year please bring John R and Reggie with you!

The comments are flooded with people who met MJ and every single comment is how awesome of a dude he was. Hear him say he "Didn't get to spend a lot of time" at different places he went? Cause he was being such a cool dude and doing meet and greets all over. I just want to recognize how awesome he is. He enjoyed going here, but he served the community too. What a wonderful, beautiful community you've developed here, Mr. Jesus. Made me wish I could've been there.

It was a pleasure to meet you. Thanks for checking out my products.

[@JB-bq5mt]

Heya! I'm Jack from Geek Mythology Crafts! Thanks so much for coming to the table and giving Shantea a good home. Was a pleasure meeting you and I'm gonna be a regular watcher now, just like I said ;-). Also they are called Perler Beads, based off the Perler company that is the leading brand of the beads. Also they get called Bead Sprites

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Awesome! Thank you! You'll see the Shantae hanging on the wall in my upcoming Game Room Tour video

[@paxhumana2015]

@J B, nice work on the bead craft pixel art. Anyway, do you do pixel art on the computer? I am making a new kind of card game and I could use the skills of an artist. May you be so kind as to offer your skills for me, please? If my card game idea is successful, not only would I give you royalties, but also stocks, on the company, should it ever become successful enough to go public. Thank you.

[@JB-bq5mt]

[@TheNintendoWizrad]

Seriously, my favorite type of video you make. Love these. And excited to see you finally commit to go for the full psp collection!

[@ethanfinnegan9066]

As a long time fan of your content it was great to finally meet you! I was the guy with the Gojira hoodie who gave you a Sleeping Beauty Plug and Play. Maybe in the future we'll see an update video on your Plug and Play collection since the last one was 8 years ago (Crazy how time flies!). That Sleeping Beauty or any of the other ones you have would be hilarious to feature in an "I Hate You" challenge as well (Create your own drinking games!?). Thanks for coming out this year! The expo has certainly exponentially grown in popularity and size since the last one. You really can't see and experience it all in one day! I found that great deals can still be had even in this market, just need to shop around all the booths and find the one with the lower price for what your looking for. It seemed that vendors this year were much more willing to take offers or give you a great bundle discount! Rock on Metal Jesus and keep up the great work!

[@alfonsomoreno8472]

Thank you so so so much for this series ! We are blessed to see you travel to places that some probably have never been and see some of the cool old retro games along the way !!!!!

Lovely to see the Premium Editions guys in this video. Every one of their releases has been a must-have title. Really nice guys who always respond to any questions on their FB page.

Hearing you speak about how much you enjoyed the "old" buildings makes me appreciate the history I have around me. Setting aside the prehistoric etc. My city has a Castle and cathedral from around 1070. It also has still standing roman walls! People in Europe are VERY lucky.

Hey Metal Jesus! I'm glad you came to Hartford, CT for the convention. By the way, you met my brother there and took a picture of him as well. He probably told you about his KZbin Channel as well.

I think those are called Perler Beads, so it may be Perler bead art. At least that's what a friend of mine calls them that makes them.

[@wilfulpixel]

Thank you! I just got some of those at a convention and was wondering what they were called.

[@grantcoleman8547]

Yes, they are Perler Beads. My daughter is way into those things. You put the little colored beads on a peg board and iron them to fuse them together. They have many special kits with specially shaped peg boards and patterns. My daughter got a Mario one and has made many Mario characters with it.

MetalJesus, I didn't go to Retro World Expo, but my friend did. I gave him a video game of mine, and asked him to see if he could get you to autograph it. The game was Burnout 3 Takedown on Xbox. I figured it was right up your alley. He told me he did in fact get to meet you, and you signed my copy of Burnout 3 Takedown. Even though I wasn't there in person, and couldn't get to meet you thank you so much for singing my game! You don't know how happy that made me. -Brendan

The reason so many old buildings usually don't exist is because they got demolished housing and small shops in the 50s, 60s and 70s so you could have all your highways in the inner city and live in the suburbs where it is next to impossible to get around be foot or public transportation. The rust belt was particularly hit hard by this Don't know the exact details in Seattle.
