The Maggie and Amy @thinkerthemer cameo 9:45 was my favourite part 🩵

[@SethAGonzalez]

Mine too! 😂

[@e-manr.486]

Mike trolling the display was fantastic 😂

[@FemmeSensei]

Woohoo! A Thinker Themer cameo!

[@DimeNDice4]

The editing of these videos on the same day they are recorded….. a Master of the digital arts. Well done. I am exhausted for you and I’m not even there.

[@polymossimal]

Just want to say…Mike is a national treasure. I wish he could make it back to Miami. Such a great guy.

[@CaptainGamer347]

Agreed!

[@andrewimpellezzeri3886]

Thanks for editing Chris even though you were pooped. Really enjoyed seeing all the Dice Tower team having a great time in their element. +1 for top ten vans.

[@TylerAndToast]

Mike seems fun to be around!

[@annecurrier2955]

Thank you so much for the great look into the world of Gen Con. You all did an amazing job on the award show as well. The scraped awards categories was hilarious!! And GOLD star to Chris for getting the editing done in record time. You guys rock!!

[@debbieholecek3293]

Great footage! Loved seeing other you-tubers like Think or Themer just hanging around! Thanks 😊!

[@stefanatalie]

Chris vlogging world-class!

[@spielmill1755]

That fact that you had that edited and up today is nothing short of amazing. Such a fun series!

[@LadyCroft86]

How I wish I could be there! Thank you for all the great footage 🥰

[@vast3394]

mike at the oink games booth is so wholesome.

[@donnab6391]

Caught sight of Amy and Maggie (Thinker Themer) visiting the DIce Tower Booth. Hi, gals!

[@ZookeeperArthur]

I really like this style of video, all the views from your staff how they experience gencon. Nice humor in this video!!

[@doggosplosion]

Even the Emperor allows Hersey 10:37 when it is funny. The emperor loves Mike D, because the Dilisio factor is the way.

[@ErikEliason012]

Omg, Mike is just the funniest guy

[@jamescartwright1150]

Living in the UK and not being able to attend, this is great to get a feeling for what it's like there. Thanks for doing this. Definitely interested in the new Imperium game coming in Feb.

[@ClaudiaRodriguez-yq1qx]

maybe you can make it to the Spiel🙃

[@beakerkell]

Thanks for pooping yourself for our entertainment, Chris! ❤

[@BoardGameHype]

Mike is literally the definition of comedy. He’s the best

[@RulebooksForYou]

The carpet is down!

[@srebme2]

9:40 Thinker Themer sighting!!!!!!

[@lizziejohnson5084]

Thank you so much for editing the video so it could be posted quickly; it is really amazing to get to experience GenCon from the other side of the world. One day I'll get there!

[@mytealdippedlife9702]

Thanks so much Chris! And of course, hurray for Mike 🎉 just happy to see you 😊

[@vast3394]

roy is so talented!

[@shawns3911]

[@ThatOneGingerDude]

Those giant Animorph replicas were awesome. Glad you stopped to appreciate them.

[@KabukiKid]

How dare you annoy Lance! ;-) lol Undead Vikings should be given space.

[@muppetjoe870]

Great job!

[@ggttjjnn]

gencon looks like it be so awesome to go to. If I ever travel to US it will have to be when gencon is onb for sure!

[@chucktelschow]

Another great video! I will now just sit here in my chair and wait for the next one. I don’t even think I’ll eat until it drops…

[@MattMorley]

I loved Mills’s comment about some people cosplaying as themselves

[@oskarhelde6009]

Thank you for such a great overview videos! DT crew are just amazing! Even Mike! (just kidding!) :)

[@randomfist797]

[@MattMorley]

[@vast3394]

[@TabletopToolbox]

Aw thanks!

[@patrickotoole6115]

ROFL on mike’s warhammer comments. Chef’s kiss!

[@IBTPORTUGAL]

World Wondeeeeers!!! 🤩🇧🇷👏

[@thegamesninja3119]

Carpet reference can only be done before the show gets going. Maybe after, but the thoughts at the end are on going home with the haul, not the floor.

[@edwindrood2816]

Good stuff. If I had the $$$ I'd go for sure

[@rexology_bg]

Viceroy in the $5 bin? Well worth it!

[@tedduby2346]

Mike Dilisio is gonna get some guff from the Warhammer folks...

[@IndianaGeologist]

Mike is hilarious

[@lukasvitroler2178]

18:39 for DT-Werewolf royalty!

[@kchorst5037]

Hi Maggie & Amy!!

[@ThymeKeeper]

Photo bomb by Thinker Themer :)

[@GarredHATES]

The Terminator part lol

[@fingolfinfinwe]

Pinball Alley, was that Aldie's doing? :)

[@fingolfinfinwe]

Lance sighting at 4:20 (With 420 I thought that would be a Bowers sighting, but whatever).

[@chestersleezer8821]

Moon Pie and a RC Cola that is nearly heaven the only thing better than that is two Moon Pies and a RC Cola.

[@Frickergaming]

Tom I just learned from my sister-in-law that you graduated from PCC! I made it a year and 1/2 a semester unfortunately before they told me to go home lol. Curious what year did you graduate?

[@adriang6259]

How much bigger is Essen? Because this looks huge.

[@BigRedGamer87]

Those chairs in the open gaming space look pretty comfortable! Can anyone confirm?

[@ZabbaXXL]

2:36 That’s the bathroom line

[@pcuimac]

No Shadows of Brimstone?

[@jeremiahcustar3574]

someone tell me how I can get my hands on one of those swords with the d20s...please!

[@bhavitdedhia]

Can you please share, any link or details of Lab Dice 16:39

[@dahger7]

Black shirts are in.

[@wishmeheaven]

May u show us what you guys are playing there?

[@hamakakun]

Thanks DT crews for pooping for us

[@DJ-mz7td]

Last Light! I'm still waiting... 🤨

[@ruthann1964]

Mr Chris Ye…..lol I saw you unintentionally PHOTOBOMB 4 other streamers content last night..it was like Where’s Waldo..the Chris Ye version. Too fun! You’re doing a great job….

[@blakekaveny]

It’s Yi not ye

[@DTChrisYi]

Hahaha, oh man I had no idea! That fantastic, unless it was awful, which would also be awesome but in a different way.

[@patricksteele]

Are we able to watch the awards ceremony anywhere?

[@blakekaveny]

They’re gonna be uploading it on here.

[@jacobjslee]

Fun to get a glimpse of all the activity, but I don't like seeing publishers still taking cash for games. Maybe this con will be one where no theft happens.

[@blakekaveny]

Many people prefer to pay cash at cons because it’s helps them better manage what they spend

[@jacobjslee]

@@blakekaveny Not that I've gone, but I'm not used to carrying a lot of cash around so I wouldn't use that method. But don't you feel sick when you hear about a publisher getting robbed? Some of these companies are quite small and their survival depends on selling enough copies at these conventions.

[@blakekaveny]

@@jacobjslee Yes I do feel sick when that happens. But I know many people taht use cash so they don’t over spend.

[@jasondunham5780]

I love Salsa Verite.

[@sonofsol2869]

Mike won the comment bait competition

[@tothepanels]

War of the ring kings of middle earth update?

[@SonoftheMustardTiger]

Jason Lavine!

[@coreyshaffer1720]

Forget moon pies, gobs are soooo much better!

[@snowren24]

Don’t love that you did the dice tower awards there and didn’t do a live broadcast. Results are getting spoiled by companies announcing they won on instagram and places. I really enjoyed finding out while watching in years past.

[@TheClyd3Man]

It was live on GenCon's Twitch channel.

[@blakekaveny]

They live-streamed it on the gencon twitch channel.

[@snowren24]

Ugh. I must have missed that memo.

[@snowren24]

Looks like it’s not available on the gencon twitch channel to re watch. Glad some people got to see it but sucks for those is us that didn’t know about it or couldn’t watch it live

[@blakekaveny]

@@snowren24 Tom said they will upload it in here I’m sure it will be up in a day or so.

[@pirotehs]

When youtube audience (me) will get a chance to watch DT awards?

[@blakekaveny]

They were live-streamed last night so probably the next few days

[@DTChrisYi]

Should be up at 3pm eastern here on the channel. Though that entirely depends on the hotel internet unfortunately.

[@peterkarlsson1825]

Hurra för Fria liga. "Free League"

[@kingerikthegreatest.ofall.7860]

No renegade studios?

[@XanYT]

Idk a ton about distribution, but I find it garbage that there is no other way to buy IV Studio's games besides directly from them. Are they too small or do they just want to make as much profit per copy as they can?

[@Wylie288]

They have every right to sell their own product? Holy shit you are morally flawed. And selling to 3rd parties increases the games price..... That 3rd party wants money too. What do you think happens? Games price goes up for you.

[@Slyfox1775]

To much shedding going on ! No thanks !!

[@JasonZeppelin1]

@thinkerthemer at 9:40 :)
