You folks rock. People are at their best selves when they are sharing the beautiful things they love together. That's what great cons like this are all about. Totally rad.
This was a great time. Being a software developer myself, I enjoyed meeting Gilbert and getting a behind the scenes scoop on how Hazard was created. The game was awesome, so I bought a copy. Amazing job putting this event together!
I would love to travel around and check out all these gaming conventions. You look like you really enjoy what your doing which is the best part of the deal. Game on
Thanks , I’m a local and finally was in town to go. I chatted with most vendors and all were very nice. Luckily I can go to your store to buy what I didn’t buy there. I played Jaws pinball the most . It was a very cool game.
I loved this years RRW!!! Meeting Jon St John and Bill Rodgers was definitely a highlight, but the entire con is what I look forward to every year! Super excited to see what happens with RRW2025!
Local here and it was my first year joining. It was blast! I think I'd like to volunteer and get more involved for next year because you and Joe were running around like crazy lol. Thanks for putting this on!
Been watching videos on this channel the last couple of months. Came up on my feed out of nowhere. This channel is a vibe. I may never afford to travel across the Atlantic to visit. But I would buy a Stay Rad T Shirt.
that said, i would like to see more emphasis/confidence in YOUR employees. a radjunk highlight/appreciation wouldve been really cool. theyes all characters people can fall in love with and its not that cool to just jump over them like that
I was debating about coming to this. I had no idea it was on the beach so sad right now. If you do it next year, I definitely want to go to the beach . Looks like a great event.
Looked to be a great time - from the vacation element to the con element. It’s increasingly tough for conventions to stand out but I think it gives this one a really great identity 🤘
I love living in the north (Michigan) but I can't lie all your videos make me so jealous I'm not closer to the south and could go to your store and things like this. This event looks so fun! Great job putting it on!
It was the best one yet! Can't wait for next year! Uncle John killed it with the pinballs and Derry with the arcade ones! Next year I have to do the cosplay contest and volunteer my time to help uncle John with his pinball machines. Adams family is going to be stored in our living room for a while. Haha! Got to get my pinball fix! B
Looks like an awesome event. Maybe it's "old news" being received by a noob like me but...create your own NES games...new NES games to play...WTH...THATS AWESOME!!!!!!
I think Sam missed her calling as a travel vlogger. When I found your channel a few months ago I remember thinking Fort Walton Beach Florida seemed like an odd place to run a retro game store, but now I get it. Hope to make it down there sometime.
Omg love you all, ty so much to Sam and all who participated in the making of this video etc., this is so dope! ; ] Byw, old school 2D fighter living legend here folks, from the Mitten fyi js lol. Game on...
Where _exactly_ is that beach? It doesn't look like my local, Southend on sea. Looks lovely there, I think I'll do a little Google Streetview stroll down there in my lunch break today I see.. Okaloosa Island.. checking it on Google Maps and it looks proper clear clear sea. Very nice location to have your convention right alongside 👌
Love pixel parts and retro bird super nice peeps! Also we hope we can make it next year beach vacation even in November sounds awesome!! looks amazing!
I get the warm and fuzzies watching this. I’m over in Portland OR where we have a pretty amazing retro convention, but I would love to come down to yours sometime. It has a real intimate vibe to it and it looks like you really make great use of the space you have with carefully selected vendors. Your arcade section was particularly awesome, and it felt like it was almost exactly what I’d have picked. I love that Elvira standee next to her pinball table (which is excellent, btw) and it made me smile to see you had Daytona USA and Gauntlet there. Add CarnEvil, Time Crisis 2, Marvel vs Capcom 2, and Soul Calibur 2 and you’ve got my dream arcade :) Anyway, I just wanted to say congrats on your convention! As somebody who has worked/hosted at Midwest Gaming Classic and been in attendance in Portland for several years, I know its a lot of work and truly a labor of love. Very happy for you and looking forward to seeing more from your channel in years to come. :D ❤
Love jupiter beach, I know a section thats always deserted. I actually hate Florida anymore but at least we have a bit of land on our property. Going back down soon. Might have to check your store out when I see my uncle in Tallahassee.
You folks rock. People are at their best selves when they are sharing the beautiful things they love together. That's what great cons like this are all about. Totally rad.
I definitely took advantage of that beach during the con 👁️👁️
Oh we know Riff was out there tanning those inner thighs of his 😂
Let’s go 🔥 fun weekend with some awesome people.
Can’t thank you enough!
That NES maker looks so interesting. I'm going to check that out for sure.
so incredible, hopefully one day i can attend. you guys are so awesome, thanks for being so authentic
This was a great time. Being a software developer myself, I enjoyed meeting Gilbert and getting a behind the scenes scoop on how Hazard was created. The game was awesome, so I bought a copy. Amazing job putting this event together!
Does he have a website or does he sell them online? I would really like to buy a copy..
Damn, that opening is just amazing! That backdrop...! I would love to make it out there just once! I love that the whole crew was there! Thanks Sam!
Looks like an amazing very laid back event... The beach as the added bonus! Also.... I love the fact you are in the Panasonic Q family, I love mine!
Looks like an awesome convention! Definitely need to check it out one year. So many great people there!
Come on down!
I will come once I get the money, I hope this keeps running annually!!
Looks like an awesome con! Assuming you do it the same time next year, I'll mark it on my calendar!
It warms my heart you're a Street Fighter fan and bought a print of the world's most ass-kickingest, nakedest man, Urien 🤘💪
Definitely lived up to it's namesake, thanks for a really rad weekend!
I live just south of Tampa on the West coast. It stinks that you guys are in the same state but so far away... One day I'll make it!
Keep up the good work. Really Rad Weekend was great 👍❤
Sam your Beautiful and love your you tube channel. Such a cheerful person and you tube channel. One of the best

Hanging out with you is my favorite part of the day 💛 💕

Look awesome. Wish I was there. Love the RadJunk channel and the Florida panhandle :)
Really wish I could have been there. Stuck in the UK lol. Looks absolutely fantastic Sam. Awesome !!!! :)
Local here and it was my first year joining. It was blast! I think I'd like to volunteer and get more involved for next year because you and Joe were running around like crazy lol. Thanks for putting this on!

I went on Sunday
Had a great time playing arcade games with my son and retro toy vendors were dope!
Heck yea!
Been watching videos on this channel the last couple of months. Came up on my feed out of nowhere. This channel is a vibe. I may never afford to travel across the Atlantic to visit. But I would buy a Stay Rad T Shirt.
💙
sam has potential to be a huge huge retro game personality. i see only growth in their future as long as they play their cards right
that said, i would like to see more emphasis/confidence in YOUR employees. a radjunk highlight/appreciation wouldve been really cool. theyes all characters people can fall in love with and its not that cool to just jump over them like that
Buy a shirt, I live in Wisconsin and after the snow stops will be promoting them as much as possible.
Do the same.
Cool, I went to a similar event on my side of the pond (England) recently & loved it. Nice to see that love of retro is transatlantic ha
I was debating about coming to this. I had no idea it was on the beach so sad right now. If you do it next year, I definitely want to go to the beach . Looks like a great event.
Well done Sam and team!
Looked to be a great time - from the vacation element to the con element. It’s increasingly tough for conventions to stand out but I think it gives this one a really great identity 🤘
Thank you!!!
As a programmer I was truly impressed by that NES Maker dev kit.
This convention look so awesome, might need to go next year!!!!
So amazing! I want to come next year 👍👍
Looks like you guys had a awesome weekend! I spotted Daytona USA in the arcade section, that's one of my favorite racing games!
Have a fantastic weekend perhaps Invisigoth and myself will come to one of your future conventions.
Anyone ever played "Two Crude Dudes" for Sega Genesis. Really cool beat'm up
I love living in the north (Michigan) but I can't lie all your videos make me so jealous I'm not closer to the south and could go to your store and things like this. This event looks so fun! Great job putting it on!
Jaws is cool. But that Addams Family is spectacular!
Okay, that PS3 that might be Kobes is so cool lol crazy and random I love it.
Haha that dude “this is all for youtube we’re not buying any of this” that made me laugh
8:06 I think I know the guy in the blue hedgehog costume! But seriously, this con was very fun and chill. Will make this my annual destination! :D
It was the best one yet! Can't wait for next year! Uncle John killed it with the pinballs and Derry with the arcade ones! Next year I have to do the cosplay contest and volunteer my time to help uncle John with his pinball machines. Adams family is going to be stored in our living room for a while. Haha!

If could Id go to this just to meet beautiful Sam she is awesome
I ❤️ Your Vlog Video Sam.
Looks like an awesome event. Maybe it's "old news" being received by a noob like me but...create your own NES games...new NES games to play...WTH...THATS AWESOME!!!!!!
Looked like a blast! Congrats on the test station pickup. I wanted to make it to this one, but the planets didn’t align. Def plan on the next one.
I think Sam missed her calling as a travel vlogger. When I found your channel a few months ago I remember thinking Fort Walton Beach Florida seemed like an odd place to run a retro game store, but now I get it. Hope to make it down there sometime.

WOW cant believe I slept on this I'm right over in Jensen beach. So much RadJunk!
Where _exactly_ is that beach?
It doesn't look like my local, Southend on sea.
Looks lovely there, I think I'll do a little Google Streetview stroll down there in my lunch break today
I see.. Okaloosa Island.. checking it on Google Maps and it looks proper clear clear sea. Very nice location to have your convention right alongside 👌
Looks like a fantastic time! If it’s happening next year, I’m coming down for sure 😃
We’ve already got our dates for next year locked in!
@ Excellent! I’ll be trekking down from southern New Jersey for sure!

Thank you SO much!!!
I would LOVE to go to the Portland Retro Gaming Expo.
Did you guys get a new camera? This video is so clear and vivid. I love how the colors just pop.
Nope it’s the same one! The lighting is just a lot better in the hotel!
Thank you for having me and my game hazard in there :)
I think I'll be seeing in intense blue all week now.
14:35 when he says just pick it, you know he is loaded with money. Even if he just resells it, at least it is going to someone who will play it
Sam your hair matches the umbrellas and the cans👍🏻😝
"New NES game you guys", puhh, wait, huh? I love it
I'd love to see the pool party pics 👀
Love jupiter beach, I know a section thats always deserted. I actually hate Florida anymore but at least we have a bit of land on our property. Going back down soon.
Might have to check your store out when I see my uncle in Tallahassee.
Totally rad ❤️😁
Hope to make it next year!
Thanks, Sam!
I wanna go there 😃
I'm thinking about going next year. How much were tickets, is there like a package for room and con?
Glad to see Aubrey Plaza is so into this
Wow looks great !
A con right on the beach!? Man I hope to make it out there one time.
Sam is such a silly goose. HONK!
Great meeting you guys, you forgot to shout out malort lol
Malort is so great it doesn’t need one.
Sam is a great host!
Biggest shout out goes to Joe and Sam for another great year of RRW!
💙💙💙
Omg Curtis was filming. The whole time I was like who is this jabronie filming? Didn't recognize his voice. Good work Curto. Keep practicing big dawg
I was legit depressed traveling back home. I was having way too much fun!
The sadness is all too real.
