At the end of the video I talk about how I have to drag my bags around until my flight. Turns out that's not true! Here's the Part 2 of checking out a little more of Pasadena before I fly out. th-cam.com/video/H_IGmOalqHk/w-d-xo.html
JohnRiggs lmao just post a twitter and I’m sure one of us out here would have been happy to host you. Plus you’re in SoCal. You could have done a million things before your flight camaaan
It was a really cool Expo! So Cal fan here so it was really coool to see you guys and have you here! Hope to see more of the MJC next year. Happy travels Mr. Riggs
My son an I went and had a lot of fun! It's grown a ton since it started. I think it will just keep getting bigger. They just announced it will be 3 days next year.
I was at the Expo last year but it was at a smaller venue at Frank and Sons in City of Industry. Too crowded in that venue. Glad that it's growing. I wasn't aware about the dates and venue this weekend. Hopefully 2020 will be bigger and better.
I’m bummed I wasn’t able to go and meet you. I really wanted to go but was not able to. I hope to see you maybe next year. Love you channel and always look forward to the new videos.
Someday I’ll make it down to one of these. I especially need to meet you and the MJR crew and Pat and Ian from the CUPodcast/NES Punk. I haven’t come down from Canada since the ScrewAttack con got scuttled.
This is actually amazing, I've heard about these conventions and sometimes I've see videos that focus on personalities, or the games, although this is probably one which gives a sense of the possible diversity at one of these things, stuff for sale, stuff to do, I wish there was a scene like that here
Every time in one of these videos when someone approaches a Sunset Riders, they always blow right past it. 😥 I love the smell of a freshly transferred t-shirt, but I haven’t encountered it in decades.
Wow, they had a huge arcade set up. It would be worth it just to go for that. But man, this gaming expo is getting huge fast. It's great seeing the retro game community thrive like this.
I wouldn't mind going there myself, but I can't deal with traveling that far. It's rough enough for me to get to Portland from Kitsap WA. Glad you had fun and I look forward to seeing you at PRGE this Oct. And maybe at SRGE in June.
I saw you at the end of a video from @adamthewoo. He was at the bar with the angry video game nerd guy. I saw Dunken Master Paul, Metal Jesus, the you drinking DAS BOOT. Great to see my different you tubers in each others videos. He also had filmed that cos player playing House of The Dead 2, do not know if you were both there at the same or different times. Now at the end of the video, and you mention him that is awesome.
Hey, it was awesome to meet you there! My only regret is forgetting to ask about one of those sweet, sweet 1up cards. Also, didn't see the free Street Fighter stuff. Oh well...
I have a Doraemon clock with that same clockface as that Sailor Moon one. Never knew they were part of a series, especially since I bought mine in the middle of absolute nowhere rural NY state.
You can almost always check your bags at your hotel. They’ll give you a little voucher and you can pick them up later in the day. Just be sure to leave them a tip for doing so!
Hoping your flight went well and hoping to see you soon with the rest of the gaming community I missed out on boogie2988. I hope you enjoyed the Los Angeles area and hoped you had a blast out here. Till then game on! 🎮
I love it, Riggs, thanks so much for showing us around. But I will never understand the funko hype still ongoing since uncountable years. And no one ever did ever successfully explain to me, what is sooooo great about them. I seem to really understand people even in love with X-BOXes or Apple products, but, come on, funko? I will never, ever, evvvverrrr get it...
It was awesome seeing you there! I was happy to be able to film the panel, I sent you an email to send you the footage. Hope you had a great time. Funny, I also filmed the shooting guy you have at 9:26
Thank you for the video, I don't know if I would be able to get there anytime soon, glass convention I went to was at the Valley Forge Convention Center in Pennsylvania That was like more than 5 years ago
Cool shit. I wouldve lugged that stuff 8 hrs and just found whoever n hung out n walked around the area n see what's going on there.I hope I can get to a con sumtime hopefully but will be east coast
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23) There is nothing more important then getting right with the Creator, Jesus Christ. Those that refuse to come before him and repent with godly sorrow for sinning against him will stand before him in judgment and be cast into the lake of fire. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Heb 9:27) And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:15)
Hi, I noticed you have a bit of an issue with the skin on the face. I have the same/similar and actually it was far far worse in the past. I wouldn't even go outside. I don't know if you have them there but there is a face cream by Bayer called Bepanthol (the face cream, they have many others) and as long as I remember to apply a little bit once a day, I never have any issues. At least as long as I remember to shave my face as facial hair makes it worse. Anyway, have a nice day. I wish we had similar expos here. I love retro, but we have nothing in the whole country, as far as I know.
Anyone feel a certain way about the stuff like the foam backed NES box art? I really like stuff like that too. But it's clearly copywritten materials right? I mean I could be wrong but I have never really seen a Nintendo licensed product like that. I'm all for guys making a buck. But where's the line for the convention management in allowing what could easily be considered counterfeit merchandise to be sold at there event? I know I'll probably catch slack for bringing this up. And it does sucks because I agree with John. I really like stuff like that.

Loved meeting you John. I appreciate what you do for the gaming community.
JohnRiggs lmao just post a twitter and I’m sure one of us out here would have been happy to host you. Plus you’re in SoCal. You could have done a million things before your flight camaaan
Some very large arcade cabinets there. Props to those collectors for bringing them.
It was a really cool Expo! So Cal fan here so it was really coool to see you guys and have you here! Hope to see more of the MJC next year. Happy travels Mr. Riggs
My son an I went and had a lot of fun! It's grown a ton since it started. I think it will just keep getting bigger. They just announced it will be 3 days next year.
it will? oh my now i really gotta get prepped for this x)
the guy playing house of the dead 2 had me cracking up hahaha
Is he moving like that for fun or does the game require him to do that?
gotohellaaron For fun lol. Stylish.
RAX the GREAT I can barely write this I’m laughing g so hard. lol.
I met you after the panel of Metal Jesus rocks, you, and drunken master Paul. You are such a humble great dude. I’m actually in your video! Lol!
I was at the Expo last year but it was at a smaller venue at Frank and Sons in City of Industry. Too crowded in that venue. Glad that it's growing. I wasn't aware about the dates and venue this weekend. Hopefully 2020 will be bigger and better.
Was awesome meeting you and watching your panel with MJR. Thanks for taking a photo with us. We were the DSKoopa (Cody) group.
oh nice!
I’m bummed I wasn’t able to go and meet you. I really wanted to go but was not able to. I hope to see you maybe next year. Love you channel and always look forward to the new videos.
Hoping the entire MJR Crew can make it out next year.
I am under the weather today with nausea. This video has pepped me up a bit. Thanks John!
Cool video. I had a blast at the expo. You are always welcome in LA.
Someday I’ll make it down to one of these. I especially need to meet you and the MJR crew and Pat and Ian from the CUPodcast/NES Punk. I haven’t come down from Canada since the ScrewAttack con got scuttled.
Thank you John, we really appreciate the shout out. Next time lets go for some classic la tacos or ramen.
Great vid Riggs. Come back to the east coast again for the next AVGC.
Great video. Saw myself, my son and my nephews in it. It was a great Gig! Can’t wait for next year!

So great to see such wonderful conventions. We just don't get this in Australia.... you guys are so lucky.
My son and I were there on Saturday and looked for you and MJR. Bummed we couldn't find you guys but we had a blast regardless. Maybe next year!
I saw you at the end of a video from @adamthewoo. He was at the bar with the angry video game nerd guy. I saw Dunken Master Paul, Metal Jesus, the you drinking DAS BOOT.

Yep! Daily Woo was there as well as many others. You never know who's going to show up at these things.
They have a bar??? I'm going then!
I have not watched it yet, but I can tell I will enjoy this one, thanks John!
Great vlog...you captured the event perfectly
Hey, it was awesome to meet you there! My only regret is forgetting to ask about one of those sweet, sweet 1up cards. Also, didn't see the free Street Fighter stuff. Oh well...
Looks like so much fun. Wished we had something like that in the NE.
Thanks for sharing your trip, wish I could've went there. Looks pretty epic!
What can I say but heaven! Great video John
Awesome video John, really really wish I could have made it looked like an awesome time and setup.
I have a Doraemon clock with that same clockface as that Sailor Moon one. Never knew they were part of a series, especially since I bought mine in the middle of absolute nowhere rural NY state.
It was nice meeting you man! Also, I missed seeing half the stuff you showed so thanks for the video, you are a cool guy
Lmao it was a blast meeting you, drunken master paul, MetalJesusRocks, AVGN,boogie2988,etc. and also thanks for signing my Super Nintendo. :)
Glad I got to meet you and take a pic! Awesome convention
9:24 Man, that guy was really into House of the Dead 2.
10:42 And what in the heck was this?
This video is amazing!! Keep up the good work
"The calm after the storm" he says as sirens go by.
You can almost always check your bags at your hotel. They’ll give you a little voucher and you can pick them up later in the day. Just be sure to leave them a tip for doing so!
looked like a good time. If my health ever improves I will hit this up one day
It was nice to see you at socal expo john continue the good work.
thanks buddy!
Hoping your flight went well and hoping to see you soon with the rest of the gaming community I missed out on boogie2988. I hope you enjoyed the Los Angeles area and hoped you had a blast out here. Till then game on! 🎮
I love it, Riggs, thanks so much for showing us around.
But I will never understand the funko hype still ongoing since uncountable years. And no one ever did ever successfully explain to me, what is sooooo great about them.
I seem to really understand people even in love with X-BOXes or Apple products, but, come on, funko?
I will never, ever, evvvverrrr get it...
you sounded a little sad at the end... hope everything was fine afterwards. thx for the video.
Damn, looks so awesome! Would love to go eventually.
I'm from europe and i'd like to be on such a convention once so much. We have such conventions, but none that are purely based around retro gaming.
Thank you so much John!! The pleasure was all ours
Very nice 3:49 🤣 awesome gaming Expo 🤘 wish I could check it out
Who's the House of the Dead 2 pro? Dude is boss! The convention looks like a blast, thanks for the tour!
I had a pleasure to meet you you are a great guy
It was awesome seeing you there! I was happy to be able to film the panel, I sent you an email to send you the footage. Hope you had a great time.
Funny, I also filmed the shooting guy you have at 9:26
LMFAO I see myself creeping @4:32 left corner with the Nintendo hat ^_^
Thank you for the video, I don't know if I would be able to get there anytime soon, glass convention I went to was at the Valley Forge Convention Center in Pennsylvania
That was like more than 5 years ago
Awesome video John,sux I missed it
Can you ask Jason and Paul when the next video game party is at his house ? Paul always makes good snacks.
Great video man!! Thank you for sharing!!!.. 👍
Oh boy. Yoshi's Story Not For Resale @6:35 That is awesome.
It was cool meeting you there, and I hope you liked the marshmallow cereal I gave you. =)
Looks great - hope to meet ya at Vancouver expo this year!
No guarantee I can make it, but it would be fun to check it out.
John Riggs you're the best
Chris Roberts, hunting for deals, as usual!
My friends Retrostarr and Super Cs(Rudy & Kimberly Chavez) got their own gamer's card at that convention :)
Cool shit. I wouldve lugged that stuff 8 hrs and just found whoever n hung out n walked around the area n see what's going on there.I hope I can get to a con sumtime hopefully but will be east coast
I wonder if the 1989 Ninja Turtles game was there. Haven't played that in a while.
@Gamester81 is that a Mortal Kombat convention shirt held in Chicago at Galloping ghost?
i saw a physical copy of Slain for the switch. didn't know there was a physical copy.

I miss the expos
I was at the event and I saw you but you were talking to people. Next time I see you I will come up and say hello.
next time for sure.
I bet I’m the only 16 year old watching this I love retro games and retro stuff
It was so great to meet you!
Hi,
I noticed you have a bit of an issue with the skin on the face. I have the same/similar and actually it was far far worse in the past. I wouldn't even go outside. I don't know if you have them there but there is a face cream by Bayer called Bepanthol (the face cream, they have many others) and as long as I remember to apply a little bit once a day, I never have any issues. At least as long as I remember to shave my face as facial hair makes it worse.
Anyway, have a nice day.
I wish we had similar expos here. I love retro, but we have nothing in the whole country, as far as I know.
You should go to the expo mohegan sun casino in Connecticut my friend went he said it’s the closest one to New York
Should have checked out the Original Halloween filming locations.
I like Kris's shirt. It's a good paper company. Sorry if I spelled his name incorrectly.
Looks fun!
John with your background in Radio, do you filter your voice or do you naturally have a natural radio voice?
I’m having a hard time finding a retro gaming convention in the Midwest. Around Indiana/Chicago region. Do you or the crew know of any?
You met adamthewoo? How is in person? Awesome video as always john
I’m pissed that I didn’t get to go. I got laid off in December and still can’t find a job. I have some carts to donate for open cart surgery.
hello sir may I knew whose booth on 6:30 and maybe the contact? Interested on those cartridges! Thank you!!
Every time I see Luigifreakout123 I’m a little sad because they don’t do videos anymore.
great. thx for sharing
I’ve never seen a man with a head shaped like a tear drop
I miss it.
Do these conventions have any cheap games like 50 cent to 2 dollar range or not really?
3:57 now john riggs is par of th squat
I was there it was a really great day
Anyone feel a certain way about the stuff like the foam backed NES box art? I really like stuff like that too. But it's clearly copywritten materials right? I mean I could be wrong but I have never really seen a Nintendo licensed product like that. I'm all for guys making a buck.
