    This expo really feels like it nails the balance between “professional” and “personable.” Usually you only get one at the expense of the other, and oftentimes you get neither!
    Looks rad.

    If anyone here is also a military history nerd like I am and has some time to spare - another great museum nearby in Bethpage is the Museum of American Armor. Lots of tanks, equipment, and ground vehicles that they sometimes do events and drive-arounds with!

    As a person who lived on LI for 20 years, it's always great to see others visit the Cradle of Aviation and the LIRGE! I never got to go to the Expo, but some friends of mine would go starting a few years back. Did hear about it's founding during my Senior Year of HS though, and the College Professor for the Gaming Club at my campus was there from the beginning! Cradle of Aviation, I've been to PLENTY of times though, whether it be from Cub Scouts, School Field Trips, etc. I'll definitely try to go back to LI to visit the Expo, hope to meet you there sometime!

    Next time you find yourself in "The Big Apple" you gotta check out the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens - 30-45m from Penn Station.

    Wish we had something like this where i live or close too it. I was always envious of the us when it comes to rare stuff and big conventions.

    This video made me so emotional idk why 😅 I was just completely mesmerized by the amount of stuff they had there and it just moved me to see people so dedicated to the history and preservation of retro gaming. What a beautiful display of appreciation.

    Just wanted to say, that trick with the mouse clicker for a background transition was smooth. 0:32

    I love even just the first 4 minutes of this video, thank you for even just a little bit to advocate for intercity and regional public transit and walkability. It’s always great to hear good urbanism takes from someone who makes content on completely different subjects.

    Great video! This gets me hyped for my favorite time of year which is similar to this, the Houston Arcade Expo.I know it's a trek, but I hope one day you get to visit it. This year it's in October and it has a lot more than just Arcade and Pinball machines. There is a vendor row like what you showed here in this vid, a area set up for retro gaming including 6 mac computers set up for constant unreal tournament lan. This year Wang Chung is performing in the evening along with other live music. Best part is the convention floor tends to be open 24hours during the Expo to where playing 3am pinball is possible.
