Amazing to finally meet you! I was so excited LOL Yeah, it was Gord or Gordy who said hello.

[@steve36207]

@onaretrotip lol I wish my mrs was as happy to see me pete buddy 🤣 what a great weekend it was, so happy I finally got to meet you bud after all these years 😄👊 I was 99% sure that was his name bud 😄

Bad enough I spent the weekend with you, now I've just watched another hour without being able to get a word in. Top weekend. Was great to spend some time in the presence of KZbin legends.

@@GoodwinsPlace and now I'm sat in my kitchen working with no one to talk to 🤣 honestly bud it was a great weekend from start to finish ❤ be careful now mind.... me and mat might start charging you for spending time with us 🤣

[@HyperTriggerEx]

As always great to catch up mate, it’s been too long. It’s a shame we never got a proper chance for a catch up. I was kind of gutted that I was only there for one afternoon. Though I was happy that Tooty managed to get me a wrist band. Take it easy mate.

[@steve36207]

@HyperTriggerEx it was a shame you wasn't there longer dyl buddy but it was still great to see you against bud, and fairplay you are absolutely smashing it in the gym bud 💪❤️ next year hopefully it will be a longer one bud 😄🕹

Nice to hear you had a great time, It must have been amazing to meet all those tubers and hang out with them, I also get annoyed when places don't take cash, Especially as technology has a habit of playing Up, Enjoy listen to your story about waking up and watching he man and Transformers 😂 42:38 Pole position is a great game, Fantastic video Steve I really enjoyed listening to your adventure

[@steve36207]

@marcgoesblindgaming2076 cheers marc buddy, it was such a great time bud with lots of great people 😄 I really don't understand why they didn't take cash, it wasn't our fault their machines packed in. I played pole position in arcade club aswel as getting the it on the 2600 bud and it brought back so many memories 😄🕹

Sounds like you had an awesome weekend Steve. I only ever went to Blackpool once which I think was the first year it was on Sounded great, just falls at the worst time for me now unfortunately That Rampage on the Wii is really good mate, it really surprised me Moon Patrol is awesome on the 2600, great to get that Arcade club in style in the Tesla taxi👊 Super Off Road is great, they did come with postcards of all the Accolade games originally aswell but that's a bargain I think 👍
