[@retroricksgamepoint]

We are hosting the WORLD POGS CHAMPIONSHIPS @ Retro Fest Arkansas! Get your tickets now at retrofestarkansas.com !

[@jazzjohannes]

Oh man I wish I could be there just for the POGS WC alone its worth it! Thanks Rick, Michael and crew!

[@samowen4578]

POGS!! I've been a long time subscriber to the main channel to the point where I remember one of the earliest videos is Rick showing some kids what POGS were and how you play and collect them. The convention sounds like a blast! Enjoy your day.

[@Koolicyde]

The only thing that promo was missing was "Eminem - lose yourself"

[@johncraig2684]

Stop click baiting WWJS

[@artgrant1142]

Wanna buy some vintage POGs? Found a bunch of mine from childhood recently

[@TuckerBrennanNJ]

Rick never fails to click bait with his thumbnails

[@Cyko..]

That's why I'm here. 🤣

[@ZBatt1]

Wah wah wah

[@Drewkhat]

Commenters never fail with their beta cringe

[@LeadMe2TheBliss]

yeah, it gets pathetic at times. His content is good, he shouldn't rely on click baiting.

[@jonathannoble9465]

Welcome to KZbin

[@SleeperHonda]

The Production on that world champ commercial! LOL SO good

[@HeyItsBingley]

Seeing the signs is getting me so excited for the convention! I’m flying in from England for this 😁

[@Paddy_Badger]

That mini trailer was absolutely amazing!!!! Such quality, especially Michael!!! What an awesome addition 👏 👌 ❤

[@ValariaxSword]

I’m more stoked for the Pogs competition then I should be.

[@TripleAwave]

Christina hope your feeling good and enjoying life!💖🤗

[@georged7627]

That Pog AD was Dope 🤘🏽

[@Mr.Shawn034]

You should consider getting a claw machine filled with plushies, games, and even a console as prizes. You'd be surprised at how much money it could bring in.

[@midnightrider4ever]

Claw machines do very well. I have 5 in my arcade.

[@bobsimpson9228]

What is your definition of fair? You can program the odds and everyone playing knows the house always wins.​@@Drewkhat

[@DonCesar93]

@@Drewkhat Just get better at it.

[@lordcheesus1013]

That's a sweet idea! I suck at claw machines but I love playing them (I never win anything sadly). Giving away consoles as a prize would definitely boost claw machine sales!

[@courtneythornton1003]

Cool idea, imagine if you attached gift cards to the store to the plush ❣️

[@Chronis67]

Once again, Michael coming in clutch, this time doing the outro. What can't he do? #Michael4Prez

[@willywampa84]

Nice work on that POGS trailer announcement, that was awesome!

[@lordcheesus1013]

I LOVE Star Wars Episode 1. Jar Jar aside, it just had too much other stuff that was so awesome. The whole act when they were on Tattooine, the pod racing, Qui Gon Jin, Maul, and the lightsaber fights! People like to conveniently forget that Episode 1 was were the movies finally kicked up lightsaber fights a few notches and we get proper swordsmen duels out of them now. Congrats on scoring the Episode 1 poster. It's really awesome and will make a FINE addition to the shop's layout. I've got to find myself an excuse and method of heading out your way someday and checking out your game shop. It truly is becoming a master piece.

[@KevinCarlino]

That Pogs trailer was sick.

[@MP80sBaby]

OMG! Got literal chills when you walked in and he rolled down the ETERNAL CHAMPIONS Poster!! My favourite fighting game ever. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@jessemata6714]

I cried when you mentioned the POG announcement 😮😢, I wish I was going, and is Phoenix ( Caleb) Resale gonna document your convention like he did with Pixel Squad, he's good

[@Tallpaaaul]

Yeessssss that Pogs video was so cool! 🎉 Best of luck with everything when it comes can't wait to see some videos or maybe make it one day

[@hinben]

Favorite 90s snack, Dr. Slice and Gushers. Or 3D Doritos

[@iNeverHadMercy]

2:40 ….”that’s what SHE said” 😂

[@twoheadedboy2]

Love the idea of the first ever Pogs world Championships happening at the first ever RetroFest (2024). Wish I lived close enough (or had the time/money to make the trip). Great job so far!

[@retrorandotoys]

OMG the pogs bit was hilariously awesome! I still have all my pogs. To know there’s gonna be a pogs world championship going on is freaking amazing!

[@trentmckenzie1697]

The colin Mochrie insert had me laughing way more than I expected LOL

[@mackers_855]

Pogs championship is amazing 😂 my childhood is officially reborn at this convention!

[@johhnysdiecastcorner]

I would have a field day in your shop lol. There's so much stuff im interested in! Keep up the good work!

[@NostalgiaHaven]

Dude that pog tournament skit was literally gold Rick and Micheal sorry if I spelled your name wrong but that skit was literally golden.

[@ResidentSpice25]

Shout out to my fellow Canadians! I'm in Edmonton. Man, how I wish I could check out that Pog Championship. Flipping amazing Rick! 🎉

[@bakersfieldpickers7615]

Brandon is a great guy and ships perfect. I remember helping him on his trailer when he came to California with collectors luck

[@TylerorT93]

Brandon helped me get my Snes Kiosk a couple years ago. Cool to see him on video here.

[@brandonanderson4128]

The production value on the pog championship thing was top notch

[@AnxMa]

The amazing, passionate people who love retro are the reason the gaming community will survive. Modern gaming? Creative and talented devs replaced by cynical accountants and execs. Real gamers replaced by quick-insta-fame-fake-gurus. By people who, back in the day, considered anyone of us who was computer savvy or a gamer, or had a Myspace profile to be 'a loser'. Now they use our tech to make sick money, share their vanity and destroy self-esteem of others. I recently made a deep dive video about X360 as the last great generation, I don't want to be right... Great video as always.

[@ZBatt1]

I resonate with your statement after how bad the last Playstation first party game Concord was. What happened to new ideas and zany fun titles. Everything now is just like a quick cashout.

[@JohnMclellan-um1rj]

ye bet now how now yer back to solo hanshakes 2024 .

[@AMeNz0r631]

ROFL the pog bit was absolutely fucking amazing, good job guys.

[@CalveZilla9]

crazy how there's never been an official pog tournament until now 😅 congrats rick!!

[@jmattingly8403]

failed accessory museum is such a great idea for the convention, love the concept and wish i could make the trip!

[@eddieanderson9399]

All those large old consoles and I'm sitting here with my 25 favorite games of all-time playing them portably on my OLED Switch loving digital purchases. 😊

[@TripleAwave]

LOVE the mini trailer!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Perfect!!! and hellz yeah Pogs!!!!!!

[@SlimAdventures]

Hey Rick I appreciate what you’re doing for the retro gaming community. Hosting events like this does so much more for the gaming scene then most people understand. YOU REPRESENT ALL OF US BROTHER, thank you! *edit* Christina stay taking dubs. Make sure you pay that woman!!

[@brandonopolis]

I still have a gallon zip lock bag filled with my pogs from the 90s :D

[@zroblu]

I just found a tube of pogs from the 90s cleaning out my parent's house...I am reunited with my metal slammers once again.

[@Gen10civic]

Make pogs great again

[@Chr0mePisto1a]

LOVE the Episode 1 poster. Very under rated trilogy...

[@RetroMisfitGaming]

We are going need a full video of that pog world championship..

[@MeezooMusic]

if the game store ever goes under, you and Michael should go into acting, that ad was actually fire

[@b-man1232]

Man, you have some SERIOUS overhead expenses!!! The building lease/rent, insurance, taxes, full-time employees, the cost of goods, utilities, etc., etc. Also, you always seem so happy - you ever get stressed-out? Anyway, love the content and your channel!

[@bradjohnson6811]

Favorite 90s snack would be Pizza Rolls! I remember burning the top of my mouth many times, but so worth it!

[@japhyriddle]

Missed opportunity at 7:30. "In 'banner' mode" without a reference to the Hulk statue behind you.

[@jreign]

Went through a bunch of bags of Pizzarias in the 90s.

[@fobiwancollecting5400]

Props to the fellow Canadian checking out Rick’s store!

[@keithtorgersen9664]

I remember a news story from some years ago about one of the local game stores in my town. A rival game store owner was guilty of defrauding them by stealing games and pawning them at his store. The "you reap what you sow" came back on him when he got arrested for sexual assault of a minor.

[@mattlockwood6089]

That commercial was fire. Michael had me ready to run through a wall

[@robertm5898]

Looks like I made it into a retro Rick video in the background, glad I was able to come in and check out the store on Thursday. thanks for selling me the space invaders arcade1up machine

[@Fateful403]

I buried my pogs in time capsule at school. When I was 8 years old, I wonder if I can dig them up lol 😂

[@RifferCityRansom]

I’m just glad to see y’all use my least expensive to most expensive idea on camera! Woop woop!

[@chorizobear8447]

Actually they were most expensive to the least expensive so you can't take credit😢

[@DrKendoCommentaries]

Okay I'm not gonna say it's my *FAVORITE* 90s snack, but I just wanted to see if anyone else ate or knew about it: Like Goldfish in almost every way except shape (and lacked a little of the taste quality, IMO), did anyone else eat "Sports" (the chips)?

[@Yaboyduddus]

Shout out BC Canada !! Long time viewer from British Columbia Canada as well !!

[@jimjones1851]

I'm 65 years old and I remember my first Pogs Apollo 13 with the rocket collector!

[@bereal3485]

An official POG tournament is probably the coolest thing ever.

[@matteunson2054]

As I live in Australia I feel privileged to have seen great singer 4 times 2x great white (I believe last great white show at rock in America)and 2 x solo at the whiskey hands down the best singer I’ve ever seen hands down

[@Roxxxxxxxbottttter]

Surge was definitely my go to soda. My favorite 90s snack that they don't make anymore is yogurt covered fruit snacks.

[@ryantylervo]

Super cool POG tourney announcement. Trailer made me think of OG Beyblades (great show)

[@old_school_fool5839]

My Grandfather used to take me out on the ocean fishing either on his boat or the pier. No matter how we fished, we would always make sure to have our 3D Doritos with us.

[@midnightrider4ever]

I have that Star Wars E1 banner and the E3 banner in the Retro Arcade inside of my retro shop, Budget PC and Retro Games in Eldon MO. Interesting side note: that banner features a shot never used in the movie. In the movie his "Vader" shadow is shown on the side of the hut.

[@jenryalee1]

4:30 Jammin' to that classic Megaman X music. so good!

[@Koolicyde]

Favorite 90s snack? Shark Bites (fruit snacks) oh what I would give to eat one of the white ones again.

[@justashton255]

I thought they still have those around

[@hellotoddmiller]

Those were fantastic, you triggered some memories with that callback

[@jamessonofdavid]

Great vid!

[@shade20x64]

Ninja Turtles Pudding Pie with a nice, cold Cherry Squeezit.

[@meskin84]

Best 90’s Snack: Fruit Roll Ups Best 90’s Soda: Pepsi Twist

[@p1xai]

wish rick & team great success @ retrofest

[@hipwu4546]

Favorite 90’s snack: Pizzaria Pizza chips with a ice cold blue Hawaiian Punch!

[@Riz2336]

Nice choice with the Saturn, my favorite retro console

[@chris.cantwell]

Fave 90s beverage was Crystal Clear Pepsi!

[@DownWordGames]

Make sure you get one of those portable steamers for the cloth retro rick background. You'll def use it everytime you set up.

[@jamesreynolds9673]

That Pog promo video is a new level of nerdome

[@wallaceprower]

Ayo British Columbians REPRESENT!!

[@mrfixitishere]

favorite 90s snack Butterfinger bbs and a good ol mtndew was a mellow yellow guy after days of thunder till they changed the formula . loved anything tmnt food miss the chef Boyardee ( crazy history on that stuff)

[@TDarvin]

Favorite 90s snack.. Butterfingers BB's!

[@pnx_world]

The fact that we took time off for these hoping we can make it but not sure we will make the con we are going to try though

[@serbowdster2311]

As a kid that grew up with the original Star Wars films I never liked the prequels but the latest films have taken the slot of most hated editions of the Star Wars franchise, I would recommend the clone wars and rebels and bad batch cartoons though, they are really good.

[@terrykampsjr3511]

My favorite all time 90's snack ALL Sport sports drink, and Bugles

[@brettsadler4211]

I met Mr. Wright Way there a couple years ago at a convention. He made me laugh. He said he had an accident and his fingers now look like Vienna sausages. He helped me pick out some bangers on the ps2.

[@albertdavis1882]

You should send all those Felix the cat toys to RIP Felix 😂

[@ToothlessNerd]

No Rest for Retro Fest! No Rest with Retro Fest!

[@RetroMisfitGaming]

Also, you guys should record the panels and all the other stuff going on at your con and release it as a DVD to sell at your store and on the website

[@PLRAHAPL]

Michael’s jaw line is impressive!!!

[@hellotoddmiller]

Andy’s Hot Fries were my snack of choice in the 90’s

[@JoeyJoeJoeJrShabastu]

PB Crisp was my favorite snack from the 90s.

[@rydamusprime]

British Columbia represent. I got my Saturn at a local game store for $100 a few years back myself.

[@DarrenT777]

Dunkaroos were pretty good but I think my favorite 90s snack was "PB crisps" it was some peanut butter wafer things that were amazing Planters made them I have no idea why they stopped making them everyone I know that tried them loved them

[@ScarletSpeedster997]

That Mega Man X playing in the background... nostalgic 😊

[@matt2319]

Nice Scott from BC Canada he has the best Corgi's and throws rad BBQ's

[@RockTouching]

7:00 dream land theme, love it :)

[@markboxsellmusic8677]

Rick is living the dream life.

[@grawlix311]

Not a favorite snack, but favorite commercial for a snack; Mondo

[@debeo8478]

Woohoo Canadian in the house. That POG tournament looks dope. I want POG. Do they sell new POGs?

[@justinmullins3473]

I learned so much about the Con. I’ve already registered but why is none of this on the site?

[@nigelm4273]

Watching from B.C.! Favorite snack, Soda-Licious.

[@lightpsychlone]

Ah man that's so sad to hear that you are quitting! I thought the store looked like it was busy... isn't it too soon after putting in all that work just to quit now?

[@MylesC73]

Dude I just noticed that in your Retrofest logo, the Nintendo controller is reversed!!!

[@solidsnake9933]

Favorite 90s snack the Chicken Fajita at McDonalds with that mild/hot picante sauce

[@ScentlessSun]

My favorite 90’s snacks were Butterfingers, Pizza flavored Combos, Bagel Bites, Pizza rolls, Butterfingers, Cheetos, Cool Ranch Doritos, Big Red Soda, Surge, and Doctor Pepper

[@sevens8944]

When I found my old slammer in my dads garage, it sounded like a child struggling to pronounce a word “paaaeg, poeg, pahhawgg, pahag” finally pog came out… coincidentally I never found any of the tubes or carboard pogs just the 1 slammer

[@80sfan4life]

Episode for me was the best of those 3. I love the pod race and idc what ppl say I love Jar Jar Binks,he's awesome, fight me! Lol I love the entire Starwars realm. But if course of course the 1st are the best ,1, A New Hope,2 Return of the Jedi, And 3 the Empire Strikes Back. I even love the Disney off shoot shows

[@JoshuaMattingly]

Trailer was awesome.

[@chasehatfield927]

My heart still longs for Hi-C Gummies 😢😢
