The TRUTH about RETRO RICK'S Convention

[@retrorick]

I’m mad you had time to make a video, there was so much work to do…so selfish man😂

[@RNGGamerYT]

Brother!!! I put in 8 hours of solid work on that first day. 🤣 I would have done it for free. I like to help Thank you so much for having me as a guest. It was a pleasure to meet your family, and finally get a chance to talk with you a little bit.

[@retrorick]

@@RNGGamerYThahaha obviously kidding, so thankful for your help …and so glad you were able to come…you are always invited!

[@BRYCEJW]

Your last upload was two weeks ago son. Wtf. I’m starved for gamepoint content. Are you wiped and still resting? It’s been weeks.

[@RNGGamerYT]

I'll take you up on that! Maybe next year, i can do a panel

[@RetrocartCollector]

Awesome video brother! Was such a fun time hanging out with you and everyone else there. Great being a part of Rick’s first convention. Even if we had to put in some work 😂😂😂

[@RNGGamerYT]

I would have done the work even if I weren't a guest! Rick is such a sweet guy

[@VideoGameVotary]

Great hanging with you dude. Such a great video

[@RNGGamerYT]

It was awesome to get to meet you!!! Hopefully, we get to hang out again before too long

[@retrobeliever]

Great vid Jaime! Thanks for hanging out that weekend, it was a great time! See ya at the next one….whenever that is lol

[@RNGGamerYT]

It was a blast, and I'm so glad we got to do it! Hopefully, you'll make it out to some more conventions

[@retrobeliever]

Thanks! It was a great time. I cage wait to go back next year

[@DoshiGotDeals]

[@RNGGamerYT]

[@steviefreakinc]

18 Penguins is a reasonable guess. You'd run out of stamina.

[@RNGGamerYT]

Nah... we could take a lot more than 18 each 🤣

[@jamesp5780]

Good to see your perspective on RetroFest. Looks like you got some sweet deals in your pickups. I entertained the idea of coming south but it was quite a hike from Baltimore. Thanks for saving me the trip.

[@RNGGamerYT]

It was a great convention! Just very different for me. I have a feeling it'll be even better next year

[@projectf20]

Shout out to that guy who won the POG tournament. The person coming out on top being the one who wanted it most and trained/worked the hardest for it once again showing that video game conventions are a welcome break from reality 😂

[@RNGGamerYT]

I'm so thrilled he won! I saw him at the bar at the after party, and he was hauling the trophy around and showing it to everyone. He was so proud!

[@sfbsfb]

Great convention video, thanks for sharing! And congrats on snagging Point Blank 2! I think I have all those games, plus one or two Japanese-only spin-offs. I think one was called Oh Bakyuun, ghost-themed. Sadly I haven’t owned any CRT displays in many years. Anyway, all those games are incredibly fun, even in solo mode. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

[@RNGGamerYT]

Thanks so much! I'm so happy you enjoyed the convention video. I'm thrilled to try the point blank games! Thanks for letting me know how much you enjoyed them

[@pnx_world]

You did one of our favorite US president dirty the man took on the Great Depression and WW2. lol feel like Rick timed the announcements to mess with you lol good to meet you there! Loves Rick store it’s quite the experience he has it set up like a bit of a theme park and museum

[@RNGGamerYT]

He's my favorite president! But it's pretty hard to fight from a wheelchair 🤣 It was awesome to meet you guys

[@brianpittman274]

Cool. Thanks for the tour.

[@RNGGamerYT]

You bet! Thanks for watching!!!

[@TonyBuck-ni3xn]

Just to clear something up… I was the seller of the DK to Retrowolf and nobody asked me to hold it.

[@RNGGamerYT]

Thanks for filling in the story! Another content creator saw it during setup and said, "thay DK plush is dope... I'm going to ask him to hold it for me" I never realized he didn't actually ever talk to you 😅

[@TonyBuck-ni3xn]

They probably got busy and forgot or found something else to spend their money on. There was sooo much amazing stuff I think people were going into sensory overload. I know I was. Lol.

[@RNGGamerYT]

@TonyBuck-ni3xn me, too! I always spend way too much!

[@AnguishXA]

Gungrave is so good. Only downsides for me is massive frame drops and having to mash the fire button instead of being able to hold it down. Still a super unique and fun experience. Hopefully I’ll catch you at TORG!

[@RNGGamerYT]

I think this was my last convention of the year! I would love to make it to TORG sometime. Ask them to invite me as a special guest 😄

[@EmperorMegas]

I love 'Ghost House'. That game was a regular weekend ritual when I was a kid.

[@RNGGamerYT]

Awesome!!!i thought I had wasted my money. Thanks for letting me know!

[@benaiahburns4046]

Great Video! I couldn't tell how many card games you stated were for the Sega Master System. Just wanted you to know there were actually 7 released in the US. They were F-16 Fighting Falcon, Ghost House, My Hero, Spy vs. Spy, Super Tennis, Transbot and Teddy Boy.

[@RNGGamerYT]

Awesome! Thanks for letting me know. I've heard some people say there are like 30 games in the card format. I knew that couldn't be right 😅

[@EvilMyers]

Great video, looks like you had some fun there

[@RNGGamerYT]

I had a great time!

[@yochrisnelson]

[@tonyp9313]

The Point Blank games are awesome. I only played part 1 in the arcades when that was there.

[@RNGGamerYT]

I can't wait to finally try them out! I love zaney stuff like that

[@tonyp9313]

@@RNGGamerYT Cool. Hey I just figured out what the Point Blanc games remind me of now. This is simply gun version games of Wario Inc. It's the exact same sound only in Wario inc you use a controller to succeed in your targets.

[@RNGGamerYT]

@tonyp9313 that sounds exactly like what I want!

[@ez054098]

I love that you are picking up 3DO games.

[@RNGGamerYT]

Heck yeah! The 3DO is awesome

[@phorm57]

finally someone with integrity at a convention. it sucks that vendors and youtubers will start buying all the good stuff before the conventions start leaving the attendees who paid extra to get in early with the scraps.

[@RNGGamerYT]

... I hate it. After I became a content creator, I learned that about 50% of the sales happen before the convention even starts. It's mostly stores buying stuff to stock their booths from smaller vendors. If I ran a convention, there would be no transactions on the vendor floor until the VIPs got in

[@ericgallegos4292]

Point blank is the best!!! Played all the time when I was a kid with my brother. Still play them. I have 1 and 3. Need to get 2. Great video

[@RNGGamerYT]

Thanks!!! I still need to get 1 and 3. It's awesome you have such fond memories of them

[@davpreec]

Awesome stuff as always buddy. I love the con vid's since i have never been to one before in my life 😭😭😭 Gungrave is super fun but im sure the frames are bad at times on the OG version. It is still good tho 😁 I loved the Point Blank games aswell dude.

[@RNGGamerYT]

Dude! You've played everything! The point blank games!?! I'm glad you enjoyed the video

[@mechaotakugamer]

Gungrave is awesome but the second game has a very annoying boss I couldn't beat. BTW love seeing Riff and Caleb appear in other people's videos

[@RNGGamerYT]

Thanks for letting me know about gungrave! Riff and Caleb are always sneaking around somewhere in the background of these videos

[@mechaotakugamer]

@RNGGamerYT the first gungrave looks really good on ps2 btw. I'm looking for both for my collection which I've had them before

[@anaximander66]

3DO: do you remember the disk it came with showing off all of the things they had planned? I don't think any of them materialized. I remember a first person football game that I still want to this day! Anyway back when Xbox One was advertising itself as a complete entertainment hub rather than a gaming platform they would have done well to study the 3DO because it tried something similar and it did not go well. Two things I remember from 3DO: Dana Plato horror game and TONS of Dragon's Lair!

[@RNGGamerYT]

You're right! They actually thought every living room would have a 3DO and that it's all we would use for all media 🤣

[@ReturnToMotherBase]

I could totally see Teddy throwing suplexes all over the place like Leon Kennedy

[@NCamico]

I consider myself a pretty well-versed shmup aficionado, but I had no idea there was a PSX port of Soukyugurentai. I have the Saturn version and it's definitely one of Raizing's most underappreciated games.

[@RNGGamerYT]

Awesome! I love shmups and collect them like crazy. It's an interesting port. It's not as arcade perfect, but I think it's a better experience 😄

[@williamburrows6215]

My buddy loves that Xbox Reckoning game, also I remember playing the Legacy of Kain on the Dreamcast and having a blast.

[@RNGGamerYT]

Awesome! I'm glad to hear you and your buddy had positive experiences with these games! I can't wait to try them out

[@timkeller4967]

great video, i did have a question, what randomizer software do you use on the show for your back log. seems like a great way to start attacking my ridiculous back log

[@RNGGamerYT]

Thanks! I just use a spreadsheet and a website called wheel of names! I have a whole complicated system for what goes on the wheel

[@RwnEsper]

It's really cool that Retro Rick has been able to host his own game convention! Looks like it was very successful! I feel bad for the people paying $200 for the FFPR Collection; like, it just got a reprint, there's no real reason to pay that much for it (even if SqEnix is *still* underproducing physicals).

[@RNGGamerYT]

He put on an incredibly great convention. Especially for a 1st year.

NOW we know why you were so tired...and in dire need of a drink. lol And you WERE mauled, by us! Mwa ha ha! Matt IS a thief, sneaky-sneaky wolf... Rando tables are the best. Gungrave is a good pick, nice. Dig seeing some 3DO pickups. Retro Beard's Switch controller holders are so nice; we only nabbed the one but are chomping at the bit for more already. YES--love Maximo; it and the sequel are often my go-to PS2 recommendations. SMS HuCards are great finds. Don't bring change--this is what I've learned. Bad knees is precisely why exactly 32 people fall victim to penguin attacks each year... That's a sweet deal on a horde of Super Famicom games. Very sexy addition with that chainsaw controller, aw yeah. Ha ha--I think we visited Rick's store the one time nobody else did--ha ha. Hey, WE gave Rick that KZbinr of the Month trophy, true story. The year we hosted, we sent out that trophy to all 12 winners that year, including Rick, so it was really cool to see him have it on display in his shop.

[@RNGGamerYT]

Thanks for watching the video!!! It was great to meet you guys. I remembered that you guys were the ones who gave him that trophy, but it was after the fact 😅 sorry about that. Hopefully, we get to see each other soon

[@BanditsBest686]

seen you coming, hopefully at least in the longrun that adds to your karma points, since rick couldnt give any remuneration for all your hard work.
