Cool video! it's an excellent overview of this amazing event. I'm very excited for Astro Bot too. Also thank you so much for stopping by and talking about our game 4:09 Desktop Explorer!
Thanks for stopping by our booth and trying out our game! We are based in Seattle too. We just started alpha playtesting and would love to have you join if interested 🚀
It was so cool getting to meet you on the first day of PAX West after watching your content for so long and talking about the 3DS! Keep up the great content! 😊🎉
Glad you were able to make it this year! It was an incredible show. The Atari display was a treat, and Larian's cosplayers were easily the BEST in the house. 😎
Next time if you’re able, hit up the Seattle Indies Expo next door! I’m part of a team that showed off a game we’re working on. There was an awesome lineup this year! Also, I finally got to visit Pink Gorilla for the first time (I’m in Eastern WA) Btw, our game is called Grimshire and has a public demo available if you’re interested 😁
It's so awesome to see the love for retro gaming growing ever bigger, I just wish the retro gaming scene would become as big here in Sweden as it currently is in the states, I especially would love to see Arcade halls make a grand return, but that's also something that's a bit difficult here in Sweden because of a stupid law we have that forces all arcade machines to give a receipt for every single time a coin or token is put into the machine, which means the machines has to be custom made with that slot for receipts in them.
Pax West felt more alive this year vs the last few years which is great. Saw you heading down an escalator , didn't get a chance to say thank you for the videos. Hope to at some point!
I’ve been kind of collecting some games and arcade controllers (from Japan) And I’ve been mostly getting into this Death metal band called The Black Dahlia Murder! (They’re an AWSOME band!!!)
Always a joy watching your recordings MJR :-).. i hope you make a travel based recording soon.. ps as a guitasrist i like you to have a look at the "Line 6 POD Express" you will be blown away by this device, promised
I heard Phil Spencer attended on Day 1 early morning. Thank you for showcasing PAX West this year MJR! 🤘🤘 Now, I am aware what to expect from the convention next year; slowly but surely...it will become the next E3.
Thanks for the walkthrough and for the Seatlle plug. That convention center and a future PAX West is on my list of to do(s) for sure. I am also looking forward to Astrobot and really the new PS5 Pro. But also I want to play all the new Nintendo Switch games and am super stoked about the Switch 2. The Akimbot and MonsterJam Showdown looked realy interesting so I am going to check those out. Thanks again for a super cool and enjoyable tour.
This was my first time back at PAX since 2018, and I had an amazing time! My favorite things that you didn't mention were the GDQ stage and freeplay arcade.
Travelled for the first time in my life to go to Pax West last weekend.... best weekend of my life HANDS DOWN!! Didn't run in to you though! Huge bummer... but I wanna go back, hope one day I can run in to you at one of these events as i'm not afraid to travel anymore!! There were so many people and 2 buildings though so I get why I couldn't run in to you! Needless to say though going for the 20th anniversary was soooo worth it! I am beyond happy that I went and I miss it still already!
Limited Run taking a load of Contra Operation Galuga stock to an event like this when they haven't even fulfilled orders of it from like 8 months ago lol
Wow, MetalJesus that convention looks like it's a lot of fun! Since I can't get away to travel this year, DreamHack Atlanta 2024, October 4-6, is the gaming convention that I will be attending.
Nice to see that you tried Fatal Run as I haven’t seen a lot of video of it yet. The only complaint I have with this video is I wish it was longer. Also cool shirt 🕹😎👍
Missed PAX West this year but instead will be going to visit my daughter in Tokyo at end of month and will be going to Tokyo Game Show instead which is something I have always wanted to do so looking forward to it.
It's crazy how good the library of the 3DS is, especially when you also look at the DS games. I totally missed the DS and 3DS time because I was too busy with my job, in my childhood we had the gameboys... now I just bought the 2ds (way more comfy for my hands than the 3ds) because I wanted to play A Link between worlds, just then I found out how great the library is. Now I bought a lot of DS and 3DS games and I am really glad that my new job gives me more free time so I can play the hell out of these.
Haha, oh man, wish it was possible to see this before I went. I didn't know what to do and just kind of wandered around looking at stuff. First time attending. It felt like a mix of E3 and Comic Con, but just different enough from both that I didn't know how to spend my time. I ended up leaving early, and on Monday when they closed early anyway. 😬
You got me on “echoes of wisdom”. I was like whaaaattttt???? Told my son, new title, no remake. Two copies, day 1. We both played totk to completion 3 months of so after release. The newest Zelda can’t come soon enough, this will be a good snack.
Wow, that seems like an absolutely insane convention, in the best possible meaning of the word! 🤯😳 Would love to experience it at some point or another, but honestly not sure I'd be able to handle the sheer size and amount of people. 😅🤓😜 Great, fun video either way though, can't wait to see your "take" on Retromessa even though I already know it was good, what with having attended it as well as your panel there. Regardless, will be waiting with bated breath. 🤞🏻😁👍🏻😉
I hope that you’ll make an episode to mark the 25th anniversary of the release of the last gaming console from Sega, The Wonderful Dreamcast🌀💎 from the perspective of that golden era of video games. Thank you 🙏
I love that MetalJesus walks like a GTA character
This should have ended with Mission passed Respect ++ 👌
I’ll join ya at next years show for sure. 🤜🏻 💥 🤛🏾
I think you'd enjoy it dude. 👍
Cool video! it's an excellent overview of this amazing event. I'm very excited for Astro Bot too. Also thank you so much for stopping by and talking about our game 4:09 Desktop Explorer!
If this video was an hour long, I'd watch it all! PAX looks amazing.
Thanks so much.
Thanks for stopping by our booth and trying out our game!
We are based in Seattle too. We just started alpha playtesting and would love to have you join if interested 🚀
Sounds great!
I did catch a glimpse of the arcade cabinet Asteroids Recharged in the Atari booth! :)
yep! I should have mentioned that too.
Metal Jesus, what's up. PAX West has been great for the last couple of years. I love seeing you do these videos. Feels like I am there
Crazy we were there the same time but didn't run into each other. Tells you how big this thing is. Also bummed I missed out on sushi
I saw him. I wanted to see you and Radical Reggie as well to meet my favorite UA-cam gaming channel content creators.
Yeah, the size of the event is insane. I was there both Friday and Saturday and never saw ya! LOL
why was kelsey wearing a face mask? Was she trying to hide from her stalkers?
@Cheeseshredder - Kelsey didn't wanna catch the PAX POX that goes around each year. 😜
@@MetalJesusRocks ConCrud would also have been acceptable answer. 🤣
Thank you for sharing this. It felt like I was there, much love from Serbia 🤟
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the fun video MJR! you are an inspiration!
I appreciate that!

I was at pax on Saturday from 9 AM to 11:30 PM I was so beat I forgot about the Indies expo the next day 😢
@@johnsimon8457 Ah, well you can still check out the website to see the cool games! How was it otherwise?

8:16 that Contra cover by Peach Momoko looks amazing. I love her artwork!!
Not sure if it's intentional, but it looks like 'she' may have a banana in her pants. :D
These are some of my favorite videos of yours.
Awesome! PAX is always a great fun time!
It sure is!
Great video! Thank you for sharing your experience!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really enjoy your videos. Always such good vibes.
Pax West felt more alive this year vs the last few years which is great. Saw you heading down an escalator , didn't get a chance to say thank you for the videos. Hope to at some point!
It was nice meeting you in line at the Limited Run Games Booth. -Cheap Ass Gamer.
Looks a great event and another great video!
It was!
been watching for so long and its crazy to see you almost at a million keep it up and thank you for bringing the amazing content to the world
Drive Rally looks great. Adding to my wish list.
Hello from Seattle. Haha. I unfortunately was at work at T Mobile Park during this.
This is great man what a great experience happy for you brother
It was cool randomly meeting you on the escalator at PAX! Keep the vids coming \m/
I’ve been kind of collecting some games and arcade controllers (from Japan)
And I’ve been mostly getting into this Death metal band called The Black Dahlia Murder!
(They’re an AWSOME band!!!)
I should have tried to find u for an interview :-D PAX was a blast + u covered some things I didn't catch! Thx for sharing !
Always a joy watching your recordings MJR :-).. i hope you make a travel based recording soon.. ps as a guitasrist i like you to have a look at the "Line 6 POD Express" you will be blown away by this device, promised
This looks awesome, I wish I can go someday. Also that tomb raider model was jacked! she looked amazing!!
I heard Phil Spencer attended on Day 1 early morning.

They need a PAX Central for us Chicagoans.
And a PAX East for NY/NJ cats
@@TheDumontShow I thought there was already a Pax East?
Gun convention taking it up
@@sandplasma There is, it's in Boston, MA. I'm guessing they want one closer to them? I'm surprised there isn't one for the Central states though.
Yeah seriously, I’m not going far west or east lol it would be a whole trip.
WOW! So many new games! Thanks for sharing your adventures at the convention for us that can't go MJR!🤙
Yes! Friday! Another most Metal upload this week!
Let's f'n goooooo!
🤘 Breakin the law, Breakin the law🤘
Yeah, I've always wanted to go to PAX gaming expo someday in the future.
Thank you for sharing MJ
Awesome video and keep up the amazing work too!
Desktop Explorer sounds very interesting

Ackwtwuaalllllyy...Pod racer was an n64 / PC game and then it got ported over to Dreamcast later.
I know that Lara cosplayer! Man, that event looks super lit. I'm hoping to attend a PAX event one day. Seattle is also a beautiful place to explore.
20 years of PAX prime is awesome, still havent made it out to one yet but its on the bucket list
man I miss PAX. I went back in 2011 and had a really good time.

A holes, they better deliver my preorder on time 😂
It was my first time going this year, and I had a blast. Next year I'll plan things out a bit better.
I'm going to PAX in Australia next month and it'd be cool to see some of these games showcased here :D
Never been there but I live about 30 something minutes from you man.
If you have a modern gaming PC or console you should go. You'd probably love it.
Seeing 4 people around one TV playing Halo Combat Evolved made me smile!
Yo MJR! Awesome video. And as a HUGE KISS fan, I salute you! 🤘🤘🤜🤛
I got a ton of comments about my KISS shirt 🤘
Volgar 2?! Fatal Run 2089?! Ys X?! Damn good show
Wow, MetalJesus that convention looks like it's a lot of fun! Since I can't get away to travel this year, DreamHack Atlanta 2024, October 4-6, is the gaming convention that I will be attending.
love the video, thanks MJ!
I have both a Pax 3 and a Pax Plus and I really enjoy using them regularly
Nice to see that you tried Fatal Run as I haven’t seen a lot of video of it yet. The only complaint I have with this video is I wish it was longer. Also cool shirt 🕹😎👍
Desktop Detective is going right into my wishlist
Great to see Pax West!
Was Pax Packed 🤘🏽😁
Can't wait for Pax Australia this time next month
Love your video's. greetings from a 44year old gaming rocker from Belgium!!!
Rock on!
Love the lunch recommendation
Wow, there are a lot of new cool games
Great video would love to go to events like this
Missed PAX West this year but instead will be going to visit my daughter in Tokyo at end of month and will be going to Tokyo Game Show instead which is something I have always wanted to do so looking forward to it.
Desktop Explorer looks 🔥 hope it comes to switch
Nintendo fan for life here, currently rocking a N3DS and AC New Leaf. What a timeless experience 🤙
I've been hooked since the SNES!
@@goofyrulez7914 the regular NES for me 😅

People enjoying games and excited for them, love it ❤
I need to go to this at some point! It's only a Link ride away!
Great video! Thanks for keeping it up! Will there be a Norway convention / travel video by chance? I was waiting for one haha.
Oh and Pat the NES punk.. i was the dude with the shroom shirt and sunglasses total toolbag to the max. But it was nice meeting you lol
1:22 sorry to air this laundry here.....But Screw you Astarion! Always disproving all my choices 😂😂😂
12:53 Tonberry looking for his next victim lol
Yeah amazing cosplay.
Haha, oh man, wish it was possible to see this before I went. I didn't know what to do and just kind of wandered around looking at stuff. First time attending.

Metal Jesus on a Friday 🎉 Life is Good!!!
I love a good gaming Expo. We need more. I want to take my kids to the next big one in London.
You got me on “echoes of wisdom”. I was like whaaaattttt???? Told my son, new title, no remake. Two copies, day 1. We both played totk to completion 3 months of so after release. The newest Zelda can’t come soon enough, this will be a good snack.
Fatal Run 2089 is right up my alley. I didn't grow up with Atari. I started with SNES. Never heard of this franchise!
Wow, that seems like an absolutely insane convention, in the best possible meaning of the word! 🤯😳 Would love to experience it at some point or another, but honestly not sure I'd be able to handle the sheer size and amount of people. 😅🤓😜 Great, fun video either way though, can't wait to see your "take" on Retromessa even though I already know it was good, what with having attended it as well as your panel there.

Imagine if the power went out.
👊 Awesome video! Astro Bot is a Must!
Excited to pick up a copy today. 👍
@@MetalJesusRocksAstro Bot is having everyone going nuts right now. It does look fun.
awesome vid, thanks for sharing
im in seattle always looking for a cheap lunch !
Great video! Ascent Rivals wooo
Great music in your video!
Man, I haven't heard "DigiPen" in a MINUTE...
They opened back when I was a kid, I think, I remember reading about them in Nintendo Power.
Yep! The school is still going strong! My nephew plans to attend their school next year.
Jesus making his presence felt at PAX spreading the gospel
🙏
11:43 - holy crap that's me in the orange Longhorns hat. I wanted to say hi to you but I didn't notice you until it was too late.
Atari is making some really cool games lately, not just with Fatal Run ,but Yars Rising also look amazing.
We need a new Twisted Metal.
I hope that you’ll make an episode to mark the 25th anniversary of the release of the last gaming console from Sega, The Wonderful Dreamcast🌀💎 from the perspective of that golden era of video games. Thank you 🙏
It's like a 7 year old boy in a toy store, that's the effect this event has.
Great video!
I need to go here at least one day
We need a PAX Southwest. Sucks that nothing really replaced the void E3 left in LA.
Yikes! The crowd. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
You want the best, you got the best.
