SHH! here's my super secret other channel where I put my other videos / @riggsreviews
Aleraan Ink is in Wisconsin (WI) and not Washington (WA) as I had it listed. I was editing this video late after the con.
Love your channel and videos! It's so cool you are like a grown child when it comes to games and anime and whatnot. I am the same way 😀
never realized you were into classic anime, John. very cool stack of vhs you acquired
You also called them “Jurassic park jeeps” when the back one is a Ford Explorer
Tattoo, Cake, Pro wrestling, Music, Car Show, Classic Game Cart, Arcade Cabinet, Pinball Etc. What a great Package of the Show. Amazing video John ❤❤❤
The expo was amazing and way too short. Thanks for posing for a pic with me! -- guy in the ActRaiser shirt
As a Midwesterner, it's good to know that we have something that is the best. Unlike Oregon, we don't have the ocean, or Sasquatch, and we didn't create that Tillamook ice cream that everyone seems to like (I had the chocolate and PB last night). So it means a lot that Sasquatch made the effort to visit one of our trade shows. Thank you, tall, kind gentleman.
Oh, WI has plenty of dairy stuff like cheese and ice cream. No worries.
@@JohnRiggs Thanks for replying. It's appreciated. You really are a kind Sasquatch.
Thanks for coming on the stage and sharing some of your time!
Glad we got to meet you! My son bought the awesome Gleamy the Cube NES cart with the LED light and was regretting not having you sign it. Hopefully well see you again next year so you can sign it for him. That was his favorite pickup this year!
Gleamy the cube is the best! Thank you so much
John Riggs traveling the states another amazing convention/expo
Awesome video! Was great to see you there again this year! The tattoo turned out amazing lol
Thanks John for highlighting the indie game (Future Classics) section of the MGC Show. I have been a long time follower on my personal channel and it as someone demoing a game (The Shopping Dead) at the show it was great to see some love thrown at us!
Man, I took a picture with you and chatted for a minute as you were getting that tattoo! It was great to meet you. Midwest Gaming Classic was my first trade show and I will definitely be back!
What a blast of a show! I was walking by while you were getting the tat and wondered what it might be. Fun to see it here. A pleasure to speak with you in person too. Enjoyed this video a lot. Thanks for sharing.
Always cool to see you guys.
Nice John! Great to see you and finally meet!!! Thank you for everything! ❤️🎮
I hope to see you back at retro game con this year.
Was great to see you and chat quick! Loved this convention, was a ton a fun.
It was good to see you again this year! Hancock already said he has to skip next year for another con on the west coast, but hopefully we'll see you (with 1 up cards)
My big buy for this year was 1943 Kai for PC Engine, it's really the only other game besides Nectaris (Military Madness) that I want to own
Dope meeting you! I saw the tattoo close up and it was solid 💪🏻
Thanks for stopping by and checking out the Guys, Games and Beer room. Each year we work on adding something new to our display.
Sprecher root beer is quite tasty. The history of why a why a beer brewery started making root beer is interesting. We will see you the next time you come around.
GREAT VIDEO! It was nice seeing you again at this years MGC! We hope to see back again!
Awesome was waiting for ur video on this! I was planning to go, had flights booked and everything, but had to cancel last minute. So glad I get to at least see what I missed out on ;)
Nice "Totoro" tattoo!✌
Thanks for sharing your adventures at the convention for us that can't go John!😊👍
Tattoo came out sick pleasantly surprised. Nice work! Also cool convention I love these videos you’re a good host
Mr brother walt is in the tan coat go up the escalator in the start of the video
Had a great first time at MGC on Sunday! Me and my kids were sitting in the row behind you at the noon Brew City Wrestling event until you moved to the other side. Glad you did though because now we're in the video!😀
Always a fun time. I moved to the other side because I thought it was over and I was walking over to the merch tables haha
Oh snap, the Baird Center! As a former Milwaukee resident, I know that escalator anywhere. Nice.
Another awesome MGC. It’s always great to see you there, John. Hopefully you’ll be back next year.
He says when he enters the homebrew pinball machine area their machines that people just made.
If people made those pinball machines then who made the more mainstream pinball machines? Aliens?
08:23 My Life in Gaming cameo! I forgot Coury & Try were doing this convention. I was wondering why their usual Sunday night UA-cam livestream was down.
MGC rocks! Randomly walked past ya' Saturday night and say "Youre the man John Riggs!" Only got to do one day this year unfortunately but it was still amazing. Sad I missed the wrestling and Cos-Play awards. Got to meet the actors from the RE1 intro cut scene and got put in a headlock by Barry 🤣I'll be there every year attempting to dominate the Defender leader boards in the Garcade 🙂🙃 I also saw those art installations as some sort of Skateboarding obstacle lol.
Great getting to meet you and surprised I missed out on so many things, even though I was there all day! I should definitely grab a schedule or something next time!
Finding all these 40-year-olds are starting to get tattoos. First Rhett an link from Good mythical morning are getting all tatted up and now. John Riggs getting some tats. I'll be 46 this year and I still have no tattoos but I was just always so nervous of getting a bad one or the pain
Can't believe you didn't know the blue car that you showed in the video was from Wayne's world
I did, I just didn't say it. the windshield has images of them, too.
8:06 You’re looking at that & my eyes immediately go to the Shadow Hearts 2 soundtrack. :)
Oh man! Love seeing all this. I used to go to MGC every year before the pandemic hit. As a matter of fact, MGC was the first convention I showed off FX Unit Yuki at (Henshin Engine back then). I REALLY gotta go next year if funds permit. Loved that you picked up Riding Bean. One of my faves! Thanks for sharing, Riggs! 😃👍🏽
and next year it's same weekend as Game On :(
The best! Glad to see you made it out!
Imagine if this show expanded into the new part of the Baird Center. The center is nearly doubling in size.
You do not have a 5200 SuperSystem! Pitfall II: Lost Caverns, Robotron: 2084, and Space Dungeon make the system worth it by themselves.
the genesis 3 was official but it was made by majesco or however ya spell it
I saw you yesterday, and swung back around to say hello, but you were gone. Just was going to say I love your videos. Shoutout to Garcade (one of the arcade rooms @7:30) in Menominee Falls, WI. If you are reading this and in the area, go. It's awesome and you only saw a fraction of what they have.
oh no! Sad to hear. If I wasn't at my table I was probably watching wrestling in the vendor floor in the back.
Gotta love K.I.T.T. 🤘💯
Love these videos
Great vid. I missed out this year, but will be back next year.
Really cool. Thanks for sharing:)
Awesome stuff John!
The Jurassic Park vehicles were Ford Explorers, not Jeep Wranglers. The maintenance vehicles were Jeep Wranglers tho.
i love these videos and i love the tattoo!
8:56 The Genesis model 3 was made by Majesco in the late 90’s under license from Sega, but is not compatible with the Sega CD or 32X.
Might have to get my first tattoo at Retro Game Con .. 🤔😏🤓
Tattooing at a gaming expo is certainly something Ive never seen before
I've seen it at a few like Retro Game Con, Pittsburg Gaming Expo and some others.
I really want to check this con out one day!
Wow you picked up a lot of anime on VHS. Be on the lookout for the 3 Volumes of Violence Jack and Fist Of The North Star I think there's 12 Volumes plus the movie.🤔
this is the last day of ramadan month sir so next day no fasting. happy eid mubarak
cool stuff indeed
Aw great tattoo love my neighbour totoro!
What are all your tats? Thx.
The 1 black guy at the convention selling bootlegs.
Hold up.... was that Daniel Pesina?
It was!
@@JohnRiggs Get out! That's awesome!
They have remade the Chevy Camaro, The Dodge Charger, and Challenger.
Why has there not been remakes of the Pontiac Trans Am? We even have a new Ford Bronco.
Also: What is up with reusing the Maveric name on a pickup truck instead of reimagining the O.G. Maveric?
John, how freaking tall are you?
i love channels that give you content without annoying music or animations or spending 10 minutes talking about something else....it's like old youtube
omg we're so old, we're here talking about RETRO UA-cam on a retro gaming channel 😐
There's a place for all that. These convention videos, it's not needed.
Hello
😊
Tattoos are gross
Genesis ish... whistle .... walk away. 😂
Did you say you’re coming back to the UK this year?
There's always a possibility.
@@JohnRiggs I’ll buy you a pint 😎
You are welcome for the blue print! Thanks for signing the hat for me. Gonna make a great addition to the game room.
glad ya had fun riggs, i didnt even see ya which is hard to not see!!!! 😂😂
were you there?! Lame!
@@JohnRiggs YES!!!! lol all good ill see u around brother
Oh cool! My random creations made an appearance (PS1, CDX, giant gba, ect). :D
That mega gameboy Advance is freaking awesome lmao
Glad to had an opportunity to meet you!
Picked up a copy of Nostalgia Os and air fresheners!
