@@galactoidgaming you’re not alone as far as social anxiety, I have acquired it in the past 3-4 years so big hugs for you for taking on those challenges!
@@CJMissouri Thank you. You're not alone either! Therapy, deep breathing, and support has helped me feel safe enough to take steps out of my comfort zone and try things a little differently. ❤
I attended the full three day event, the Arcade was great and the vendors were actually reasonable on pricing for the most part! I hung out at the Intellivision booth mostly, amazing what people are creating in the Homebrew world! 😮
I was there all 3 days as well and had a great time! I agree prices were reasonable and it seemed most vendors were willing to give deals. The homebrew scene is incredible!
I'm going to PRGE for the first time, too! I'm really excited to be holding a panel on sunday. I just interviewed Jeremy and Marcus of Galactix the other day. On the games front I'm in the same boat, I bought Pokémon Colosseum with my gamecube back when it came out. I sold all of it and now I'm collecting again. Pokémon Colosseum is #1 on my list and now Cib it's around $130. Stop by the Ground Kontrol booth we can play some indie games.
Hope you had an amazing time at PRGE. As you know, we did our first convention this year as well and it was a blast. Actually a local boy of ours went to PRGE as well. Papa Pete? Not sure if you've heard of his channel. Yeah we're not full set collectors either. More the play the games and collect the games you love. Will you do a pickups video from the event? Looking forward to it if so
It was amazing! I was not familiar with Papa Pete but after checking his channel I totally remember seeing him there! I will be filming a video tomorrow about the convention and have that out in the next day or so. Grabbed some cool stuff! Stay tuned!
@@galactoidgaming oh and I meant to mention it is an extremely common thing in the retro community to have social anxiety. I think that's why we're all gamers lol. Jay. Square pegs started his channel for the same reason and I hope you had a great experience and it wasn't too overwhelming. I tend to feel the same way but I'm lucky and I always have Scott as a great support. Definitely makes it easier.
@@RetroRivals Wow thanks for sharing that. I had no idea Square Pegs had anxiety. You either for that matter! You all seem so comfortable and natural in front of the camera. I guess you just never know what someone else is going through. Support has been such a powerful (and new) thing that's enabled me to push myself and try things a little differently. as well as therapy and deep breathing. No joke. I did have a great time at the convention and I also got overwhelmed too. But it was so much fun and I'm so glad I went! Take care Retro Rivals! You rock!
I have been going to PRGE for 10+ years and can say I don't like large crowds myself but for PRGE it feels like I am going to some ones very big house. I also have brought at least 2 or more pinball machines which I had The Getaway and Police Force out on the RetroCade floor this year. I am also one of many techs keeping the arcade going during the show.
@PinBallReviewerRepairs I actually had a great time at PRGE and I see what you mean about feeling like being at someone's big house. It was such a great atmosphere filled with great people! That is so awesome you are such a big part of the arcade. That was one of my favorite parts of the expo! Thanks for commenting and watching!
Have fun, looking forward to seeing your follow up video 😊💕😊
Thank you! That should be a really fun one! ❤️
