    I think one of the best things that draws me back to your videos is cause yes you put a cash value on stuff but more importantly you talk about games that are more valued to you because of sentimental value and play value which is why I like collecting games

    Thanks Jay for taking the time to visit and take video of the booth! Greatly appreciate the mention in your video and hope you are enjoying the Sega Master System arcade controller. The SMS is a wonderful system and having that arcade controller over the original one for the console makes the experience even better.

    I picked up one of Brian's 5200 controllers, great quality product. I highly recommend his controllers. I plan on buying more. See you next year Jay probably at Corgs in May.

    Hi Jay! I've been meeting to reach out to you after we got back from TORG on November 5th. My husband, David and I are who you met in the parking lot and walked to the convention together. We just watched this video and we wanted to thank you so much for the amazing shout-out. Our mouths dropped because we were so surprised and it meant so much to us (that you even remembered us) that we had huge smiles on our face. We are so sorry we didn't find you throughout the rest of the event. We will be going to CORG in May though and hope we can manage to meet you there (or other events). We will be reaching out to Brian at Pittsburgh Gaming Expo as we would love to have you there (I will have to private message you another time once I send the email). We also picked up Brett's books as well and John's Sega game that I fell in love with. As far as the Sega Master System is concerned, my favorite game is *Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego. " it is worth playing. Anyway, we absolutely loved your video (as well as your others of course), and we are so happy and thankful we got to meet you! We look forward to seeing you soon and hanging out again! -Sandeen and David

    Sounds like you had a great time and looks like a great show, especially for a one day event, quite the turn out. Warp Zone--that chainsaw, is that a Lollipop Chainsaw? That's awesome.
    Love the work by Wall Knots. Awesome finds on the NP! Love collecting that set, think we're about 7-8 off from the first 100. Gradius brings the quality AND the destruction of all other pickups. lol *crash* Always happy to hear from another R&C fan.
    SMRPG is so, so good. I remember back in the day being skeptical but it worked perfectly. And the music!!
    Dude, that Battle of Olympus box art is stellar! The game looks great too and I'm loving what I'm hearing of the premise, but the box art totally would've caught my eye for sure.

    • @SquarePegs
      @SquarePegs  2 роки тому +1

      That WAS Lollipop Chainsaw! I think Darrin said it was one of the press kits? Absolutely incredible store, and Darrin was an A+ person to talk with. Battle of Olympus is SO GOOD. One of my all-time favorites. :)

    Nice pickups! I met Brett, Reggie, and John but unfortunately didn't have the pleasure of meeting you, Jay. Perhaps I will see you next year if all goes well. I was fortunate to get the VIP pass due to my contributions to the video game museum. VIP is definitely the way to go. I was told that TORG is looking for a bigger venue next year so hopefully the crowded aisles won't be as bad. Still a great convention though. 😁

    • @SquarePegs

    Love the art you were gifted and so great that you were able to support some amazing peeps in the gaming community.
