The BIGGEST Gaming Festival in Australia! | PAX AUS 2024 Vlog

[@80sKid.]

"Wherever there is nerdism, there is Star Wars... and Darth Vader shredding an axe!" 😆 The first bit, the bit that you actually said, should go on a t-shirt, lol. Retro games section brought back some memories. Legit haven't seen Digital Derby and Merlin in years. Made me wanna bust out my handheld Donkey Kong from 1983. Now if I only just knew where it was lmao

[@TheSimpleverse]

Haha, I don't narrate with a script, so whatever comes out comes out and I was like... 🤷🏻‍♂️ that will do 😅 Yeah man, they had ALL the games from back when you were still a gamer 😜

[@Bel_Izeard]

That clip of the guitar-playing Vader was so hilarious!

[@thefiguretrap]

This was awesome, bro. We have PAX in Seattle, not far from me. I’ve never been, but have always planned to go someday. It was nice to get an idea of what I’d be in for. Those custom consoles were insane!!! I’m more pumped at the prospect of going to Pax than I’ve ever been. Great work!! 🤘🤘🤘🤜🥊

[@TheSimpleverse]

Oh really? I didn't actually realise that Pax Aus is only in Melbourne. I dont think they have it in the other states, but I'm not sure. I'd imagine Seattle Pax would be HUGE! You Americans have everything we do but on steroids! 😆 hope u get to go 🤘

Those retro game shots you took were cool. Loved the Doom figures/statues. My friends and I played Doom to death back in the day. We 'secretly' installed it on our college's LAN. It wasn't a major secret. A few of the instructors 'sort of' knew what was going on and turned a blind eye to it... for a while. Heh. Loved seeing the Dungeons and Dragons stuff too. I'm not very keen on 5th Edition. The new books are very expensive. I'm glad I've hung onto all my old AD&D 2E and D&D v.3.5 books.

[@TheSimpleverse]

Oh I remember the Doom days! Never was hardcore enough to play it during school, but we did a similar thing where someone installed GTA 1 on the PC's in High School and we spent alot of lunch times playing GTA 😂 My only experience with D&D is playing it on a couple of lunch breaks during primary school. But Stranger Things made it look pretty cool! 😜

[@brendanmoro4929]

No need to stress mate, it was a great video (especially for those of us who missed PAX).

[@TheSimpleverse]

Thanx mate! That's what I was hoping for! 👊

[@SlimsCollectionFood_More]

Looks like a fun con Simon! Have a great time!👍✌️

[@TheSimpleverse]

Thanx Slim! It's such a huge event, I'll definitely go multiple days next year! 👊

[@totallytaylorretrohunters]

Very cool convention mate, I didn’t realise it was so large of an event. Thanks for showing us around.

[@TheSimpleverse]

It's MASSIVE! There's so much to take in. Cheers for tuning in mate 👊

[@nostalgiabutton]

Great video dude!! Loved the wild PC designs! Crazy stuff! And I’m a big pin guy, so I can appreciate the effort you put in to get those pins, nice one!

[@TheSimpleverse]

The PC's were out of this world! And dude, you should get the weekend pass and see how many pins u can collect in one weekend! 🤘

[@TalkingPopCulture]

We walked past there on Saturday, was insane how many people. I think I might go next year. Looks really good, especially the retro stuff.

[@TheSimpleverse]

The retro game section was the coolest part. But u definitely need more than one day if you want a more interactive experience. There was so much going on!

[@tonsta84]

Love you simon! Lunch was lovely! :)

[@TheSimpleverse]

Next year's on me... or hopefully on Pax 😜

[@itsmarsnauts]

Seeing Darth Vader hitting the wah wah to super Mario was the best thing I’ve seen today

[@TheSimpleverse]

Yeah Vader was pretty sick! 🤘

[@andrewcai5042]

Cool Detective Comics!

[@TheSimpleverse]

Shiny! ✨😜

[@raticus65ify]

My first Pax.. was great

[@TheSimpleverse]

[@AdemEren-Adventures]

Ive allways known it was on and didnt go becuase of price/crowd now i dont have to go becuase i got the Simple Simon Tour!! Thank you

[@TheSimpleverse]

Ah man, thank YOU! That's exactly what I was hoping for with this video. Give the people who missed out, the same experience as I had. Cheers mate! 👊

[@WHACKCOMICS]

[@TheSimpleverse]

[@oldwolf65]

[@fourtwentyhellions7185]

[@TheSimpleverse]

Yeah, I feel like Nintendo might have been there the last time I went, but not sure if I've ever seen Sony or Xbox there They may have taken it to the next level 🤘
