Holy Grail Pickups at Midwest Gaming Classic

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Dang dude, you walked away from a TON of games, and quite some bangers too! Sounds like it was a very successful convention man. Hope I can get there next year. Good stuff!

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

I was very pleased to walk away with everything, definitely my biggest haul ever at a game convention. Thanks for watching

[@gullpayne]

Great pickups David - la noir wow great to meet the voice actor

[@DanofWar101]

Nice pickups! I own Kameo but haven't played it yet because backlog lol! Those bangers at the end are awesome! Besides meeting a bunch of cool people, I think that the highlight of going to a con is to find games that you won't easily find in the wild! Great video and keep up the good work!

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

Thanks Dan. The backlog is a real thing lol. Yea I was able to pickup the great games at the end but I also was able to pickup all of those 360 games for less than $100 so yea it's great to buy at the conventions. Thanks for watching

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Looked like a fun time at the con again. I am hoping to get up there next year.🤞🏻 Awesome pickups dude. I can’t believe you had never played Ducktales before. It’s such a staple of the NES library. Nice 360 grabs. I couldn’t get into LA Noire. It seemed like alot of care was put into the game by Rockstar but it just wasn’t my speed. Watch the Ghostbusters movies first because it will make you appreciate the game even more. It’s one of my favorite games of all time. Such a gem. 🤙🏻 Wow on those Saturn grabs!!😮

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

Dude how did I miss this comment!!! My bad man I'm sorry about that. I was going through the channel and saw I missed replying to you my guy. Hope all is good brother.

[@Mega-Matt21]

Awesome pickups man! It was so awesome to meet and hang out with you and TC!

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

Oh it was definitely great to meet you guy. I had a blast hanging out with you and TJ

[@DoYouNerd]

It would have been awesome to have made it to MGC to not only meet you but see you in action and hosting with TC! Lady Laci approves of the toy pickup, and Terminator related too no less! I don't TRY to go after steelbooks but I do enjoy getting them; they're had to pass up. Kameo is one I'd really like to carve out some time for. Man, this haul keeps going and you're not even to the grail--so freaking many great games. Ah, that Star Trek game; that's one Laci and I mean to try and give the full co-op play to. Yeah, no surprise (sadly) that vendors up-charge at conventions. And I get it; they want to make sure they cover their table fee and they also purposefully make wiggle room for haggling, but still, it's just as easy to hop online for a better deal and have the means to return a game that may not work. Great find on Nights though. And Saturn RE to boot, dude, that's so cool!!

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

Agreed it will be great to meet up one of these days. There was a lot of really cool toys but the Terminator one was the only one that caught my attention. I was able to walk out of this convention and I only spent around 100 on all the 360 games so I'll definitely count it as a win. The Star Trek game seems so good so far and would be even better coop definitely recommend you and lady laci check it out

[@retrobeliever]

So many great games, LA Noire is like a fine book my friend! It’s amazing, like a gritty version of LA confidential the movie. Dude you’ve never seen Ghostbusters?!? Oh man….and that game is FANTASTIC!!!! You got a lot of gaming ahead of you, awesome to meet you finally!!!

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

Shamefully yes I've never seen a GB film. I'm changing that this weekend though and yea I've heard the game is great. I'm really excited to try LA Noire as it looks to be something completely different and unique. Thanks for watching

[@retrobeliever]

@@LameDadRetroGameryou’re welcome my friend!

[@Owazrim]

Nice Saturn Pickups. I beat RE for the first time a couple years ago. I played the Saturn version because you don't hear much about it. Some great 360 pickups. Great to see the system get some attention.

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

Very cool that you beat the Saturn version you really don't hear much about it. Despite the fear of FOMO about the 360 the games are still priced very fairly. Thanks for watching

[@Owazrim]

I think the 360 will have plenty to get on a budget and there are a lot of good games to go for.

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

Agreed. I was able to pickup I think 16 360 games for under $100

[@CynicPlacebo]

Some great pick ups! I still play Wii & x360 most with my kids, but unfortunately in my area these consoles haven't had any games around in about 2 years. Luckily I've got a decent set. This generation I think will be the last huge collector scene, because the games actually work. As soon as you go to the xOne gen, the discs cannot be run in their original release state, so every game is effectively a digital game.

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

My area for the wii and 360 games is starting to dry up as well. Thanks for watching my guy.

[@mtshark7]

Awesome pickups man!

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

Thanks my guy.

[@davidretrogamesplayedbadly3533]

Sounds like a great event mate, bit far for me 🤣. I keep meaning to start the Prince of persia series, haven't played any apart from the original on the amiga. You need to watch ghostbusters mate, I've heard the games very good. Nights looks minty as does resident evil, nice. Great pick ups.

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

Thanks for watching. My wife and I have a movie night planned to watch the Ghostbusters. I've got to get that sorted lol. The Saturn games are in such great condition that I'm still blown away by them

[@SquarePegs]

LOL, I worked on NASCAR 08 as well. I apologize for that one.

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

Very cool that you worked on it. I was secretly hoping you had since I knew you worked on some of the earlier ones.

[@SquarePegs]

YOU'VE NEVER WATCHED A GHOSTBUSTERS FILM?!?!??

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

I'm so ashamed. My wife and I have a movie night setup this weekend to correct that issue

[@JimMorrisonsBathtub]

Nights is one of my favorite Saturn games sadly my Saturn decided to turn off while I was playing it about a week ago and it hasn't worked since. My favorite game you got though is L.A. Noire.

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

Oh dude that sucks about your Saturn. I hate to hear that. LA Noire is really one im looking forward to getting into. Just the overall different type of game to play seems enticing. Thanks for watching dude.

[@TigerChainsawVideoGames]

Can you tell me to start sucking in my gut next time? BEST TIME TO BUY VIDEO GAMES FRIDAY NIGHT!!! LOLOLOL The guys from MyLifeInGaming are super rad. That's awesome that they gifted you an M2 Documentary on Blu-Ray. I need to watch it soon. Those action figures are pretty rad. Glad you finally got your Madden 01 on the N64 haha. All Pro Football 2K definitely has my interest. Would love to have you review it. Dang dog, chill on the Fable III. I want Apache now... and Star Trek. I still need those in my collection. Stoked you got some big bangers for your collection. Better play them now!

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

Friday is always the best night to buy games! Don't buy star trek. That game is unbelievably infuriating. Such a blast again at this convention. Time of my life.

[@Heaaaps]

FN round 3 🙌🙌

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

Yes sir!

[@SquarePegs]

Hell yeah Round 3 is the best, I worked on it. ;)

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

I knew there was a reason it was so great

[@GenerationPixel]

If you're going start a Prince of Persia journey, start with the Sands of Time. Corey was in LA Noire! I'm going to have to reply now!. What! No Ghostbusters! Get that sorted 😮 Far too many green spines in this pickups for this Sony Pony 😂

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

Ok I think sands of time was the one I was thinking about. I've got a movie night booked with the misses to watch Ghostbusters. Yea finding out he was in la noire right after I bought it was super cool.

[@tylerandersenandthegang]

You say Midwest, you sound like you're close.I live in southwest iowa

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

I go to Wisconsin once a year to help my buddy run one of the stages at the game convention. But I'm in Texas just right outside of Houston

[@WavesNGames]

If you have never played a Price of Persia game then that one is pretty solid. If you have, then Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands is the better of the 360 games.

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

Ok cool maybe I was thinking forgotten sands was the better game
