The All Star Southern Fried Gameroom Expo Tour - with Ben Heck, Billy Mitchell, Walter Day and more!

[@0UtLAwSCuMFUcK]

I thank you so much for you excellent videos, keep up the great work, gamebro.

[@SlickEnz]

Great video man, I really enjoyed it.

[@carlosmedrano7005]

John no wonder you were determined to restore the lost footage. A great moment to receive recognition from Billy and Walter! Congratulations!!

[@Johnsarcade]

+Carlos Medrano Thanks, Carlos! Yeah, it was a real bummer when I deleted the footage. So relieved! :)

[@GameroomJunkies]

Great video John! It was great to meet you in person! You really captured some of the essence of the show! - Preston

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks, Preston. You did a great job with this show!

[@n.h.s.a.d.m.]

Great video, John! Glad you recorded it and also recovered it.

[@speedysandisk78]

Loved every minute of this video, thanks John for summoning the footage back from Limbo!

[@Johnsarcade]

+speedysandisk78 Yeah, I'm glad I saved it. It was a ton of fun!

[@bryanspocketchange]

Great job on the video. Thanks so much for sticking your time and money finding that video. This by far was one of the best videos you have done. Just the people you got to share the car ride to the show with. I know your not heavy into pinball but thanks for taking the time you did. I was into video games heavy also but moved into pins. I think I got to a point the pin projects where more rewarding since if I got a good deal on one I could turn around and sell without taking a kick on the pants. Thanks again

[@BobbyBlackwolf]

My 15 seconds of fame!! Thanks for hanging out when you were down here, John!

[@adampepper7557]

Really enjoyed this video and I am glad you recovered the footage. Congratulations on your very own trading card.Thanks for videos every week.

[@subsist99]

Billy Mitchell's hair looks like he is wearing a hoodie.

[@johnvictor9071]

So glad you were able to save all the footage. Great episode!

[@jupreindeer]

Let's sum this up... _WORTH. EVERY. PENNY._ Thank you for investing in the recovering of this golden footage, John. And, just so glad we aren't using video tape. (That never would have been recovered.) So, let's all hop in the Delorean and take a trip back in time to this wonderful event.

[@davfpinball]

Congrats on your award. Nice video of the show thank you !!!

[@slayer768]

That was an awesome episode dude. Congrats on your trading card and your brother John award you deserve it. Thanks you for all the hard work you do and keeping us entertained and teaching us so many cool things.

[@mikeswatches2480]

Another excellent video - glad you recovered this footage - that 3D virtual arcade is amazing . . .

[@Taggstas_arcade]

Nice video Bro! Great coverage of the show and congrats on the certificate and card

[@BradShifflett]

54:52 kid raising his hand like he was wanting to ask a question, you guys ignored the poor kid . lol

[@exiles_dot_tv]

There was another guy on a pinball raising his hand a bit after that, I think this was for people to take down their high scores or something.

[@stevej420]

We should start some crowd funding to fix the table wobble.

[@TheVideoGamesHistorian]

Wow, a few names there that will always be in the history books and is one of my future episodes, props tou you sir! superb show.

[@fibrodad1354]

+The Video Games Historian Im subbed man, i saw your last docu about 7 years ago and have the book,,,, cant wait man.

[@TheVideoGamesHistorian]

+JRushPixel Thank you. Long time ago now and i did not think anyone knew me on youtube since SecondLife was a longtime before youtube even existed....

[@francoavila7365]

God bless you John! Seriously man.

[@Natebit]

Haha I saw my wife and I walk by in the background while Ben was playing Star Wars.

[@WaddleJrJr]

The brown paint award.. so good. "This paint is FRIGGIN' brown!" Good stuff, glad to see this video finally released!

[@kevlarunderwear22]

love your song "want and need". its my favorite. nice use of drumroll and great lyrics. its a really good song

[@Johnsarcade]

Thank you!

[@Coolzombi]

33:50 Cocktail Tapper ? Never seen that before !

[@Nico93]

Must be alot of fun hanging out with you and do arcade related things, would be so neat to see your arcade.

[@krisrosk5205]

Great video John, viewing from over in the UK here. Congrats on the trading card enrollment. I will one day make it to America to visit these great shows and events you guys attend. Great stuff, new fan here ;-)

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks, Kris!!

[@the_infinite1]

+John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech hey John great video! Saw the shot of Bradley International! love your work!

[@darktetsuya]

man this was amazing! I still assist with the guys at OLR (on right after bobby's show) so I still see him and TC and some of those guys in our neck of the woods! (yeah had to work in a plug, hehe) SFGE looked like a blast though! So many classic games and pins, and that Oculus Rift setup also I guess you're going to pass on that neon lit wobbly table, eh? :P It would be pretty awesome after performing some surgery on it, I will say. and on the Blaster thing, I seem to recall a bonus video on one of the 'Arcade Greatest Hits' packs where Eugene Jarvis actually recalled a story where that happened once! Actually took out a nearby Donkey Kong Jr. if I remember it right. awesome videos as always!!

[@loubilly]

Great video. I missed the name of the FGPA Arcade Board that John mentioned in the video. Did anyone catch the name of that

[@Shundi12]

John, just had an idea for a Ben Heck project. A game room table that doesn't wobble ;)

[@pgj1997]

Only a matter of time before Whoa Nellie gets ported to Future Pinball. It looks pretty fun!

[@rowdyherself85]

Congrats on the trading card! Awesome video .... except where's the hard boiled eggs !?!?!?!?!?! But seriously , thank you for taking the time to film. I wanted to go this year but I couldn't get off work to go. Maybe 2016 !

[@yorgle11]

This was a great video. The combination of enthusiasm, gaming and technical knowledge between you and Ben Heck make you a great team, and you seemed to get along well and really enjoy yourselves. The joint commentary was great. Billy Mitchell seems like a cool dude. I've never met the guy, but he seems to just be having fun with the persona, going out of his way to make it fun for people at the show and promote the hobby. It's a little frustrating that some people seem to prejudge based on something they saw in some documentary (which I haven't personally seen). All documentaries and edited media in general is structured to promote a particular point of view or to stir an emotional reaction. I wish people were more perceptive about that kind of thing.

[@meinstdudas]

Congrats on the award ... it's well deserved!

[@tessbilly8798]

I live in it Atlanta but I didn't see the video that you said you were going there. :(

[@tomcatt1740]

I found a 1978 Midway Space Invaders machine with nice art work and nice case but dos not work has a color film on the screen he wants $300.00 for it should I get it?

[@givezerofx]

Walter Day the coolest guy ever.

[@torres61179]

great episode john

[@fermp3690]

I am amazed you didn't knock that glass over in the beginning of the video ;-)

[@JasonValentineFL]

John, are you still going to Free Play Florida? It was mentioned on their website a while ago, but has since been removed.

[@Johnsarcade]

I was listed on their website? Huh. Yeah I can't do it. Too close to Thanksgiving.

[@JasonValentineFL]

+John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech Yeah, you were listed among the guest speakers. Bummer. Anyway, great video. It was awesome that you were able to walk around with Ben. He's a funny guy.

[@scott6261]

The pinball game you guys play simultaneously at 35 minutes making love with the Joust

[@Shundi12]

Shock horror! Ben Heck said a swear word, what is the world coming to :) Great vid as always John.

[@TortureBot]

Awesome video, one day I should attend that. I'm only about 4 hours away.

[@Hollyweirdification]

Hey John are you going to be at the 2017 Southern Fried Expo? I'll be there!

[@Johnsarcade]

I am not sure.

[@RottenBuick]

Dude, you and Ben are hilarious together.. man you guys need a major tv deal. The ball-mageddon Chuck Norris joke... damn "Its time for them to pay."

[@Johnsarcade]

+Trioxin Kustoms Thanks!!! I love Ben. GREAT GUY.

[@bresin6911]

Great vid John! I drank a shot of fireball for every awkward laugh ya did. Sadly I now need a liver transplant so any viewers out there....

[@sewashburn0529]

My son and I were next in line to play with the Oculus Rift until Ben and John showed up at the table. The guy was star struck! Dang KZbin celebrities! ;-) Awesome video, glad you were able to get it restored and posted. I was surprised at how much John and Ben looked in person just like they do on the videos. is there any video of your talk on the night of Friday, June 19, 2015?

[@DGPG35]

Did I miss the mystery Nintendo cab video, what the heck is that thing, we must know..?

[@lordbemylight]

About Pitch And Bat, there is tons of other pitch and bat pinball games that Williams made before Pennant Fever and Slugfest. I personally liked Slugfest the best, Pennant Fever second place. Sure wish they still built them today.

[@whompmaster]

Great video on the road!

[@MrHarney]

great stuff thx john

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks, Harney!

[@sani8646]

Heck yeah man ! You are a rising name at these events, looking to see you do a video with Todd at TNT someday if you ever you make your way out there.

[@ganjam0n]

funny the peoples expression, when you rip on a game they are playing. bens such a laugh :), his pinball knowledge is amazing

[@DollyRelford]

It's about time you gave Atlanta some lovin'. Great to meet you - You still owe me a beer.

[@Johnsarcade]

+Dolly Relford Atlanta was fun!!!!

[@KaseyRelford]

+John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech Next year, we're going out for sushi!

[@Johnsarcade]

***** ha! This sounds amazing. :)

[@KaseyRelford]

Next year's event is going to be at another location. We'll find some good grub nearby wherever that is. Our treat!

[@jimracine776]

I've never heard that song before.

[@Realmasterorder]

Johny boy Hi i got 1 question ! Why ? have you not shown this Video earlier ? i know it was Erased and you had some trouble to Recover it but when you did you should have uploaded this earlier,This was a very Nice Videos and one of the Best i seen in some time,also you got honoured and all for your nice contribution to gaming etc that is all the more reason to show us this Video sooner.The people you were with and saw there were Really nice and this was the next best thing to being there. Ben seems to be a really Great guy and i was amazed at the knowledge of games he Had !!! I liked that it showed a lot of things and this had so much variety and video game knowledge (although personally i would like to see a bit more footage of arcades than pinballs or at least some kind of shared time for both when possible). Thanks for this great Video and for sharing some of your experience there.

[@Johnsarcade]

It took me a while to get the video off and then I kept putting off editing it cause the weather was so good! Needed to work in the garage. :) thanks!!

[@Realmasterorder]

John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech Okie Be good and keep em nice Vids up m8

[@jimracine776]

What's that song called when you're driving to the airport?

[@Johnsarcade]

+Jim Racine It's a song I did. I have a link to it in the notes of the video. It's on Sound Cloud.

[@AceGamingCentral]

John you need to get a bigger basement!

[@ocpud2999]

I want to take my kid next year he would love it

[@ArcadePlayersTV]

John, please let us know what’s going on. Even if you can’t come back just let us know what’s going on. 🙏

[@superpacman73]

I liked the eggs and sausage shot !

[@ILordSpawnI]

Do you have AO/Johns arcade fans trying to talk to you while making videos or do you go in and say hi to everyone first?

[@Johnsarcade]

+ILordSpawnI I did most of the filming on the second day. So... I had already been there a full day. GREAT TIMES! Awesome people!

[@webdiddy]

what did billy wisper in your ear?

[@Johnsarcade]

+Tony Graf I talk about it in this week's VGO. :)

[@mathesar]

+Tony Graf It sounded like he told John to ask him "What number are you?", thus setting up the attempt at laughter at 1:05:00, not sure how I feel about that lol.

[@joebristowtechnologicalbre2073]

So John, well desevred reconigtion for your efforts in documenting your hobby for everyone to enjoy. Theres something about billy mitchell, hes just not very friendly eh??

[@lionneko]

took a long time to find this but it is cool

[@mathesar]

Hydro Thunder was great and the Xbox 360 version was so much fun online (Hydro Thunder Hurricane).

[@owencrawford8416]

Ben heck cursing made me lol

[@delsarcade]

So was that B-Roll at the end intentional?

[@Johnsarcade]

Yes. :)

[@delsarcade]

+John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech What about the black at the end of all of your vids? [Insert joke about fade effect available in all editing software here.] j/k bud!

[@Johnsarcade]

Black on purpose too. :)

[@lionneko]

PS: I know the guy that owns that Mad Plannets. he restored it

[@givezerofx]

Heck Yeah!!!

[@ericlohrke4792]

John, I have never seen you spill anything on your infamous wobbly table, but sometimes I can't stop fixating on your beverages sloshing around. It seems like it went back to being just as wobbly since your recent attempt to tighten it up. One of these days you're going to replace that table and we'll all be bummed out.

[@mirakles305]

say it.... SAY IT!!!!!

[@jamesw2560]

Pretty Cool

[@fronutt8455]

Yes yes yes yes yes!lol

[@FordWMaverick]

You need at least three legs to have a table not wobble. :)

[@philippelafortune2873]

John, the third DuraMold Williams arcade cabinet was: Sinistar ~ Great arcade game! facebook.com/groups/WilliamsRetroGamers

[@Johnsarcade]

+Philippe Lafortune Aha! I knew this. Thanks for reminding me. D'oh!

[@helixdeslayer]

Hi John love watching your videos. I about died laughing when I saw the flippie penis pump in the python's pinball cirus game. Congrats on your award. I would love one of your trading card. Frank from Smithfield VA

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Very nice video too watch. If you have a chance come on over and visit my Kurt's Place channel as well. Nice job.

[@hossmccool2]

omg

[@ibvirgin1664]

well dude! I bet you are stoked getting the reward ! and it couldn't go to a nicer Guy !! can you show us the cards when you get them . I was thinking it would be good to make a pinball machine in kit form and have individual multiple play Fields on them do you know if anybody's has done that ? do you find out who set you up. did you speak in the seminar, u didn't show it on the vid. I think you should get that guy to do your T-shirt it would look good with your face on it wobbly table you need to get a 3 legged table you won't have any wobble like a 3 legged stool I think if you strengthen that centre Bolt what holds the base to the shaft extremely tight say about 75Nm nano metres would sort out the problem

[@ibvirgin1664]

+Ib Virgin any reason why you blocked it wasn't showing up. please pass it on you don't need to show any political allegiance by blocking it you are

[@juntistik]

wtf. These aren't box fans. when did this become an arcade channel?

[@MetalTiger88]

for some reason still don´t like billy mitchell :/

[@KaseyRelford]

+MetalTiger88 My attitude about the man changed DRASTICALLY after chatting with and watching him interact with people at SFGE. It's very easy to clip and edit things people say into a potentially ignorant or egotistical series of statements. Billy is genuinely a nice man and he REALLY gives his full attention to everyone he meets. This coming from a King of King viewer who DESPISED the man in that film.

[@Johnsarcade]

+Kasey Relford I agree! I think Billy is pretty funny and nice in person. He plays a little into the persona.

[@LudicInterface]

What's your opinion now John considering how Billy marched that FAKE 1,000,000 score video tape in when Steve reached a million points to crush his glory?
