Reaching because of limited attention spans. Those games take time and patience. Operation and Simon might be the exceptions. Those two are quick and fun to play.
As a mother of an autistic child who can fry his circuits faster than Sonic racing through Green Valley on flashing lights, sounds, and a massive room full of people all talking at once, I think a quiet corner with board games is the BEST. IDEA. EVER. Sometimes, we all just need to sit, unplug, and let the con digest a bit. I know my son would greatly appreciate the alternative when he wants to just go, go, go and we know it's either a break or a massive meltdown (and sadly sometimes both). Riff, if you're reading this comment, this would be an excellent addition for So Cal! We would definitely be behind it!
@@bigdog3300 yes! My 9 yr old is autistic and gets over stimulated soooo fast and sometimes it's hard to get him to want to take a break and he REALLY needs to. This could actually help extend our time enjoying the con. Last year he lasted an hour before we had to book...and we were practically dragging him out!
Owning a retail business is tough and takes a LOT of capital. Even if you’re making 50% margin on reselling these trade in boxes, just thinking about how long it takes to sell all the inventory gives me anxiety.
At my wedding reception, we had a different classic game at every table. Simple enough to play throughout the evening. Everyone had a great time and someone from each table took the game home.
The board games are a great idea and with the low cost of them, if they end up incomplete, it might be alright. Perhaps covering the tables with the game boards and some plastics would help shield them from initial destruction
Use angle brackets screwed from the inside with some short coarse thread screws and glue. You could also get a few small pieces of new particle board and reinforce it on the inside. More surface area for glue. Staples work best in that stuff.
It would be awesome to see some type of merch available for international fans that can't attend. Would love to be able to pick up a signed poster or something!
I agree on the display that you don't want to mess with it much when it's all original. But honestly, that MDF in the bottom is rotten. Once it's in that condition you will never fix it. Pull the rotten out carefully and replace it with new material.
That gameboy cabinet looks like MDF (basically just compressed wood fibre). It would definitely be worth taking all the covers off that if you can, get some new MDF panels cut and screw the covers back on. It would look mint
I do arcade vending machine repair. I know a quick fix using Wood Hardener For the brittle parts & Bondo automotive body filler to fill in and fix the missing wood where the screws failed. Then sand it smooth. Can be or primed & painted when dry if desired.
From someone who works on old arcade cabinets, you should get a bottle of wood hardener. You soak that water damaged board with it that’s loose and chipping away and it will make it more structurally sound and a lot easier to work with then glue it up. It will have a better surface to bond to doing it like that.
Save that GB Display! If you do arcade repair you would know of a quick fix is to use some Wood Hardener for the flaky parts & then Bondo Automotive Body filler to spread & fill in and fix the missing wood where the screws are falling out, then sand it smooth when dry.
9:04 it looks like from my view that the bottom square that needs to he replaced could ge swapped out for a fresh piece pretty easily with the hands of a surgeon.
Rule of Rose took a big price hit recently as cases of brand new copies were found in Italy pretty much from the original 505 games developer, most were or so I believe UK Pal we're it got banned upon release so not sure if these copies will affect the US ntsc price, I think the English pal versions are still £250 on ebay from Italy.
Oh my god I’m shocked that you guys aren’t that far from my fiancé’s place. Also I love hearing the music from Chrono Trigger! It’s one of my favorite games of all time! Maybe I will come check you guys out in a month or so when I come to see my fiancé.
I don’t think the board game is a bad idea. I would recommend fireball island personally BUT, offer wet wipes and hand sanitizer at each station to avoid the greasy gross pieces.
This is gonna sound weird, but for the GameBoy Display, you might wanna look in to things used for art conservation. Even if just for the plywood and screws, conservation-level replacements could come in just the right size/thickness/durability to revive it.
I'm an Automation and Controls engineer. I don't do installs for the triggered audio sampling you wanted, Rick. But I could teach you or an employee how to do it and what you would need to order to get it done. Let me know if you're interested. It's easy enough.
Im nothing like that but I would also just imagine having an IOT enabled device sense and log the people entering would be enough for the door. Then something like a Raspberry pi would be enough to receive the signal and get logs of the amount of people entering/exiting. Then have the pi send the signal to an IOT enabled audio device OR wire it. Probably wont cost much nor be too complicated. Also just one time costs and no subscriptions needed.
@exsnozer you don't have to be an engineer to be smart. You're spot on and one of the methods for completing this application is just as you described.
Xenosaga episode 3 haunts me, every time I see it I can't afford it for the price it is going through. Fast forward a few years and now I could afford it but it has gone up in price to a range I wont pay.
Only up to 2XL on the shirts is WILD bruh, we all know without a doubt that video game enthusiasts come in all shapes and sizes, up to 4XL would be alot better. 4XL doesnt need many, but there should still be some
Thinking about seating is important. If people will be occupying tables for a long time, put seats or benches on the side walls for people who just need a seat. I know my feet get tired fast.
Good idea Michael a mean I get overwhelmed at big things like this me and my wife would use it if we could come but we are wanting to get over to the store. We are over on the otherside of the world 🌍 haha
What if you guys have a kids concession area? Bright colors, hot dogs mac n cheese nuggets ect... and have the board games there for them. The parents can sit down and play & teach the kids these old school boars games. And Im hoping some how that theres a few hats left over and you put them somewhere to buy online! Im Florida and no people to go to the con with and I am not solo'ing to Arkansas 😂😂

Laughed so hard at Rick yelling on the zoom in during the section about the Game Boy cabinet -- big Lemongrab energy
I think the board games is reaching a little much, Rick's point about the food grease from everyone touching em while eating is spot on.
For adults, I hear ya, but for anyone with kids I think the board games will be a welcome distraction for them.
Who cares...

Definitely an easy way to get sick too. Touching things that little kids were playing with while eating? Not a good mix.
Adult here, I would play if I was going.

A helpful tip to fix that game boy cabinet.. get some PC Woody. It’s an epoxy wood filler. Stuff hardens like no other, and sand able/paintable
Use angle brackets screwed from the inside with some short coarse thread screws and glue. You could also get a few small pieces of new particle board and reinforce it on the inside. More surface area for glue. Staples work best in that stuff.
The music is fire, great choice!
There is an old school ice cream parlor in the town I live in. They have old school games at each table. I play them every time I take my kids there.
Much love from Toronto, I wish I was closer
Rick becoming the comment section at 9:05 😂
Rick's inner Morty coming up hahaah
I've seen some of the dudes who go to game cons. You probably should have made those shirts up to 5XL.

I like the board game idea
Just a little extra value added customer service
Setup a Console video game competiion NES, SNES, and Genesis categories like Blockbuster did during their video game championships back in 94'
Can swap out that piece of particle board with some plywood. Will be stronger and last longer with glue and screws

Need another behind the scenes documentary when you have your event like the one Phoenix resale did recently😊
Rick's kids have an AMAZING childhood! All the games! All the toys! Younger me is jelly.
You are getting me really pumped for the convention man!
Think some mdf sawdust mixed with wood glue would be a great filler for the missing bits on the bottom of the cabinet.

It’s still kind of a band aid but it will last awhile at least.
Use Gorilla wood glue to glue the 2 loose pieces of the Game Boy kiosk together.

Yup, chill coffee shop music is my jam too. Or light classical sometimes.
Always got to have the lofi on deck. Jinsang is one of my faves

I would set up TVs with game collections instead of board games because yeah they gonna get greasy real quick
I’ve spotted the Xenosaga III in that pile right beside Rule of Rose. Still pretty close to a 300$ game
Chill electronic play list. The best

Man wish I could get a shirt but I’m sized out! You know half the con will be 3XL +

Ro is the luckiest kid! Great content guys!
Dang those hats and shirts are 🔥! Mouse Trap is my favorite board game 😁
Give me hard rock/heavy metal. When I have that the work day flies by.
Xenosaga episode 3 haunts me, every time I see it I can't afford it for the price it is going through. Fast forward a few years and now I could afford it but it has gone up in price to a range I wont pay.
Use a small tiny corner "L" bracket in the GameCube cabinet. Out it in the inside an attach it to the raw MDF board.
If it’s as water damaged as it looks it wouldn’t work I don’t think. The board is chipboard not mdf and will just disintegrate
Music I find calming is 1930s and 40s big band or any of the bejeweled soundtrack’s
Only up to 2XL on the shirts is WILD bruh, we all know without a doubt that video game enthusiasts come in all shapes and sizes, up to 4XL would be alot better. 4XL doesnt need many, but there should still be some
PS2 is RED HOT right now!!

W Rick. That stinky Phoenix Resale was throwing shade at you on his recent video!
07:26 do you use price charting for all games or just for some?
CRTs and consoles on tables like los angeles. You guys were there :)
The games for the Convention are nice, but won't they be incomplete in about 2-3 hours??
Good idea Michael a mean I get overwhelmed at big things like this me and my wife would use it if we could come but we are wanting to get over to the store. We are over on the otherside of the world 🌍 haha
that low density wood composite like the cheapest type of wood board you can get
Getting a bunch of horror games was amazing timing with fall
Michael needs to whip Rick into convention shape before it starts. He stuck to the program for two or three days.
I've been jamming lofi Halloween beat music while I work lol
Oh man I’d love a hat, can’t afford or have the means to get there. Have fun guys!
Would be neat to check the place out! Too bad I'm way too far away. LOL.
I’m a AZ driver in Canada , I’d love to leave my job to be in this workplace , just lmk 😃
Any chance some left over merch will go on a site?
I listen to Lo-fi, Synthwave, Animal Crossing, Zelda music at work 🤝
Is the Hagane available for purchase now?
You have to remove and change the wood on your game boy cabinet.
Great ideas❤🎉😮😮😊😊
I love the movie MouseHunt!
Michael gets the Zelda watch, he needs to be dripping with swag
I get anything and everything done with early 2000’s to 2010’s hip hop.
