Dude we loved putting on the show AND putting this video together with you. So glad we made all this happen! Hope yall enjoyed the editing on this one....it was a TASK! We love yall so much!
The editing was awesome Riff! Must've taken a SUPER LONG time to do it. What a great video though--might be the best one I've seen from Phoenix Resale! I was hoping to see some behind the scenes videos from you guys' new convention, and this video did not disappoint!!
he whole time watching this video i was smiling it sucks i couldn't be there this year but next year i will be there and also i just want to say that i am so very happy for the pixelgamesquad crew like i said the whole video i was smiling i could feel the excitement the passion all the emotions you guys did it ! plus more cant wait for next year and if there's anything i could do to help yall out il be more than happy to volunteer ! you guys are such an inspiration and real genuine souls ❤🔥
@@Christian-vy9fs haha agreed. Less of him saying “folks” every 30 seconds lol. It’s definitely his better work. His docu series interview content is super good.
All things aside, whether you like all these guys or not, you cannot deny they put in the work and dedication necessary to get here. Chris has always seemed like a class act. Riff and Ricky banter, the jabs at Retro Rick.. this has been my entertainment for a few years now. Seeing Riff go from a TH-camr, to an editor, to having a podcast with his best friends, and then to a convention owner. All of these guys have found their passion and have put in the time. Much respect to all of them. Looking forward to attending next year. Great work, Caleb. These long-form videos are some of your best.
This was an absolutely amazing documentary of the Expo. Loved every moment of it from cadence to production to commentary. Stunning peice, Phoenix and Riff. Very well done.
Not so often that a TH-cam video of almost an hour flies by. But this was just amazing. Great effort to setup the event. And great video to show it all. Best vid from the channel
Kinda insane to see aaron and ricky started from scratch in TH-cam and now owning socal gaming. That’s crazy especially after aaron deleted retro liberty. Happy to see it!
This video was so good, thanks for taking us behind the scenes to show just how much work goes into these events. I really liked how you showed the work that comes after the event and the last minute issues that come up.
Those last words at the end of the video were giving so much chills that once i read "it was the best convention i've ever been to" i started tearing up Much love to the PGS for proving how strong of a team we always knew they were. Definitely a monumental event for all of the west coast and conventions across the US. This was incredible to watch, and so friggin heartwarming. No one else i'd rather see thriving more than these guys. Caleb did an amazing job capturing so many amazing moments that show how these truly are some of the most compassion and caring people in the scene, who want nothing more than to make everyone in their area the happeiest they possibly can. They deserve all the endless praise and love. Big ups guys
Great video, fellas! Brings back some memories of when we started PRGE at the Oregon Convention Center. Only $10K for electricity? Consider yourselves lucky. PRGE regularly paid over $30K for electricity each year. Don't get me stated on the catering bill. All of those tables the vendors use? $50K. Printing for signage, badges, and programs? Another $50K+. Security, internet, door ushers, freeplay arcade costs, speaker stipends...it's crazy. We even had to pay to have ATMs on the show floor. All for the love of games!
I've been a long time supporter of your channel and love all your vids, but man!!!! This was my favorite video that you've ever done. I would love to see more stuff like this! Great job bro!
What a wonderful video. My heart goes out to not only the PixelGameSquad lot, Caleb and everyone else involved at the event. Been watching many of you for what must be years now and so proud to see you all growing and simply being awesome.
What an awesome video--one of your best for sure! Riff editing this was TOP notch too! Also, way to go PGS and everyone else involved in running this convention!! It seemed like everyone loved it (except those two vendors at the end--sheesh... I am glad you guys were around to deescalate that situation).
Great job with the tour. What a great looking convention. I've been watching all of your channels for years. Riff deserves it and his business partners 🙌🏼💙
I absolutely loved this video. The documentary style, the interviews, the ups and the downs. What a story you have told and what a journey you've taken to get here guys. I wasn't able to come but you sure made me feel like I was there. Congratulations!
FANTASTIC job organizing, capturing and putting this documentary together! Just like the expo, this wasn't long enough! It was so great being a part of the volunteer team and finally meeting you and everyone while we were there. Everyone deserves to know that you weren't just filming, but you worked just as hard breaking down those tables at the end and provided pizza for all who stayed💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 Thanks for being AWESOME!
Caleb I've been watching your stuff for at least three years & this my man is the peak of your channel. Awesome video & top notch editing! 10/10 content! ❤️ Big shout-out to Riff, Kris, Rick & everyone else who makes SoCal possible! ❤️
It was an incredible experience meeting everyone and having a good time out there at SoCal Gakinh Expo! A job well done to everyone involved! Thanks for adding me in Caleb 😊 @23:33!
This video is amazing. You were able to capture and share the emotions of the gang and community so well. Great job and congrats to the guys on hosting such an amazing event and giving back to the community..
So Fun to watch! I'm so glad you were open and transparent about everything, from numbers, attitudes, problems, to all the good times and how worthy it was.
Really special one this is…truly incredible behind the scenes content with a wonderfully organized arc across the video. All while providing what seems to be a refreshingly honest take of events and capturing the love, frustrations, and endless effort that went into making this convention happen.
Seeing RetroRick @23:50 is awesome! He’s definitely one of major staple to this entire community of retro games. Proud of you guys! Hopefully next year I can make it from Minnesota.
This expo was amazing. Can’t wait for next year. Already putting some money away to get vip tickets and stay at a hotel this time and not have to drive 2 hours everyday. Had an amazing weekend and can’t wait to enjoy next years. Thank you everyone for all the hard work to put this weekend on for everyone.
Bro you got me in tears of joy. You got friends, family...everyone! just helping eachother out and having a good time. I'm so proud of you guys. Thanks for continuing on what you do. Keep it up!
Editor riff grew on me soo much I first see him on this channel working for mr crabs hated his style at first but he dialled it back added new ideas smashed that now his done this super W
bro this video is absolutely nuts. between the amazing story and your story telling, and just the purely amazing production quality it honestly got some tears man, great video.
This is amazing video, an amazing documentation of amazing people, made by amazing people, showing amazing people doing amazing stuff with and for amazing people. Thank you to everyone involved! Much love to you
Caleb, awesome job on these videos. You’ve really been doing an amazing job with your questions and content for these behind the scenes business deep dives. I know you got a killer editor but your work is really shining through. God Bless!
Amazing work by all. This was such a fun and interesting watch. So many people who go to cons just think it's mainly getting vendors in & setup & that's it. This video showed so much of what goes into getting these together. To see it from the perspective of a group that's never gone through it before (minus Kris) was fascinating & so insightful. God bless you guys. I am so thankful this group is around for us to watch.
absolutely love videos like this, that shows all that work and expenses that go into an event like that. fun to watch some of the things that unfold and ideas they came up with etc. Great job on the video ^^
I wish I could’ve gone. Hopefully next year. Thank you Caleb for filming this. It was absolutely a Joy to watch! I felt like I was there with y’all. One of your best videos. Very amazing and heartwarming. You guys are all the Best!
Funny enough, I’ve been expecting for this video without knowing who would be the one posting it. I want to thank you for 2 things, the video and for bringing PGS to my attention in the 1st place. If this is the way forward for your channel, I am happy with it! Much love from Cape Verde 🇨🇻
Did a great job covering everything. As someone who worked for a Toy Vendor for con season in SoCal; i felt everything. The Wifi issues preventing epayment services. The anxiety over surprise celeb appearances and their "people". The random vendor Drama. Especially the Sunday breakdowns with shady event companies not honoring their contracts. Setup Day and breakdown are where people are tested.
Man it was an amazing convention best in years, me and my son had a blast thank you to Aaron, Ricky, Chris for making it happen, the haedwork to put all together, the amazing vendors, vibes and love, can't wait for next year.
As someone who understands the inner workings of a convention, this brought on all the feels. I’m on my 15th year running conventions and every year we hope for joy like this when it’s all done. Congrats guys!
This was an awesome video. I watched it to the end and wanted more. People who sling mud are only upset because they haven’t stepped out towards their dreams! This is four men who stepped out and are doing great things for the community. Keep going and Caleb thanks for this awesome video! Continued success to you!
I don’t normally watch videos past 15 minutes/ but this kept me going all through till the end. Congrats to the new team & for you showing the raw stuff that goes on behind the scenes
Almost brings a tear to my eye. Im around the same age as these guys. Its amazing to think that this all started from one day when these guys fell.in love w gaming as a kid. Brings a tear to my eye, seeing that what brought them joy and pride in gaming created this. Makes me so happy for them, and in a sense, im proud of these guys. It all comes down to one thing..... Gaming. Bravo and thank you guys
This was such a cool ride, to be here with you guys. Even here from Europe, we love the stuff you guys do. Caleb great work man, you really showed us what is was like from start to finish.
Fantastic video, that was a legit documentary. Great narration and story telling. It made me feel like I was there and got to experience it. Great work and so happy for the pixel squad!
Caleb i have been a fan of your for years now. I met and spoke with you the past 2 years at the louisville retro game convention and i have to say this is some of your best work i have ever seen you put out. @PixelGameSquad you guys rock and i plan to come next year to your convention all the way from OHIO. Keep it up you guys are keeping our childhoods alive and thriving.
I am so genuinely happy for you guys. What an absolutely stellar performance and I can feel the passion and love through the screen. May God continue to bless you guys and I hope nothing but major continued success for you all in the future. Wicked awesome.
Dude, this is an amazing guerrilla style documentary on the running of a gaming convention. Your thumbnail and title make me think it's "just" a normal interview, not the amazing storytelling and filming you pulled off. You have talent Phoenix Resale!
Congratulations to the owners who put on this great expo. Thanks for covering this too. It would be cool to see food vendors outside for a bigger experience. Just no food or drink inside but that would drive even more traffic.
As a former convention organizer this was a nice watch. Oh, all the things that goes on behind the scenes during events. My first event as an organizer was a blur of running around and taking care of stuff. Busy work but fun
This was great ! I downloaded it without looking and figured it was uploaded by Pixal Game Squad ... was surprised when Caleb started talking... well done , fun watch
This was genuinely interesting and was a positive impact on the community depicted, awesome job to everyone involved. I literally can't fathom the amount of work that goes into an event like this.
Even hosting smaller events always turns out to be more work and hassle than ever imagined. But it's usually worth it. Thank you for the behind the scenes looks bro. I also really enjoyed the LRG interview and the interviews of the game store owners. And thank you for listening to the audience and allowing the people to speak more and you speak less. W
Great behind the scenes look and great editing! You got yourself another subscriber! It was my first gaming expo I've ever attended. Took my younger boys, (5 and 7) and we all had a blast! They loved the free-play arcade and we bought about 20 games or so. Can't wait to go back next year!
I wanted to say that I don’t normally like to watch long videos but this one was amazing. I’m a believer that when a group of friends work together they can create their own community and that’s what I see with @pixelgamesquad , @retrorock, @phoneizresale, and everyone else. Thank you for sharing this with us!!!!
Everything here checks out, especially the registration, line, and wi-fi problems. You can plan, have meetings, and sketch stuff out as much as you want, but there's always stuff that breaks or needs to be figured out last-minute. Great video!
Phoenix....!!!! This was sum GREAT behind the scenes raw footage no one really Sees(set-ups)!! Awesome Video! Appreciate all the hard work these dudes put in to make the event happen!!
This was a great mini-doc! I will admit I am not a big fan of Caleb’s Phoenix Resale videos, but this was very well done and it was fun seeing the controlled chaos that is putting on a big event like SoCal Gaming Expo.
The most important piece of business that most people overlook is the people. Having people to assist or those who want to help or even the networks of those which step in to assist in fixing issues or bottlenecks are absolutely critical to having a successful event like this. The costs are a stress, the expectations are a stress, and wanting to genuinely put on a show that everyone will enjoy is a huge stress.
This was an amazing documentary on a gaming expo. Everyone was incredibly authentic and seeing this behind-the-scenes look while running an expo speaks to the overall organizational experience of all involved. Exceptional time management too.

Also, so cool to see your parents and kids there helping out. Great memories for the entire family I'm sure!
TEARS!! Amazing job boys!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!

Enjoyed this!
This is probably your best work, Caleb. I think documentaries might be your calling.
Whoever edited it did a great job
@@TachibanaTengoku Riff is Caleb's main editor so it was most likely Riff.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Great job, awesome documentary!
Yup I think because it had a lot less of him in it 😅
@@Christian-vy9fs haha agreed. Less of him saying “folks” every 30 seconds lol. It’s definitely his better work. His docu series interview content is super good.
I nearly spit out my coffee at the "Aspiring TH-camr" tag for Rick. I can't get enough of the play mocking between all you guys.
Truly excellent documentary on the making of a convention. I go to a lot of shows and really found this fascinating. Thanks for making it!
Seriously fascinating. Shows how much work and effort goes into making these shows
All things aside, whether you like all these guys or not, you cannot deny they put in the work and dedication necessary to get here. Chris has always seemed like a class act. Riff and Ricky banter, the jabs at Retro Rick.. this has been my entertainment for a few years now.

Great work, Caleb. These long-form videos are some of your best.
That's why, in my humble opinion, stupid Riffo is the editing 🐐, what a great video, and thanks Caleb for filming this.
This was an absolutely amazing documentary of the Expo. Loved every moment of it from cadence to production to commentary. Stunning peice, Phoenix and Riff. Very well done.
As a vendor, attendee and friend, It really was the best convention!
Great video!
I hope to one day own a mario statue Travis. Great job and video showing how it's done. And sick fucking T-Shirts boss!
Ricky always comes off so genuine lol
Not so often that a TH-cam video of almost an hour flies by. But this was just amazing. Great effort to setup the event. And great video to show it all.
Best vid from the channel
Kinda insane to see aaron and ricky started from scratch in TH-cam and now owning socal gaming.
That’s crazy especially after aaron deleted retro liberty. Happy to see it!
Appreciate you ❤
Its so nice to see the goal that they set get CRUSHED and doubled. These guys deserve all the love and praise they got from this event.
This is something where if it was another 45 minutes long I would pay to see in a Movie Theater. This was absolutely fantastic all the way through.
What amazing parents Riff has. It’s so cool to see such a supportive family.
I took my son and brother in law for a day while we were already out in SoCal. Had so much fun!! Great event will try and go every year!
This video was so good, thanks for taking us behind the scenes to show just how much work goes into these events. I really liked how you showed the work that comes after the event and the last minute issues that come up.

That "DARE to keep cops off donuts" shirt had me rollin 🤣
Man this is so good. Great job guys. There is a huge amount of FAVOR over this entire journey. Really hope I can make it out next year!

This recap was outstanding- congrats to all involved!!
"Aspiring TH-camr" for Rick 🤣
😅😅
Wow! Moving story from a very intimate angle! I Enjoyed all 51 mins of it! Good job Caleb! And Riff/pixels too of course
Caleb , this was by far one of your best videos you’ve ever put out! Congrats to you on a job well done!
What an awesome video--one of your best for sure! Riff editing this was TOP notch too! Also, way to go PGS and everyone else involved in running this convention!! It seemed like everyone loved it (except those two vendors at the end--sheesh... I am glad you guys were around to deescalate that situation).
24:00 "Aspiring TH-camr" 😆😆😆😆
That was DIABOLICAL 🤣
Dude... Well done with this one. This is one we've all been waiting for. So dope.
Great job with the tour. What a great looking convention. I've been watching all of your channels for years. Riff deserves it and his business partners 🙌🏼💙
This was one of the best videos I have ever watched. Thank you for doing this.
Editor Riff for the win. I see you working. Shout out the other guys too.

This video is amazing. You were able to capture and share the emotions of the gang and community so well. Great job and congrats to the guys on hosting such an amazing event and giving back to the community..
CRAZY to see the video game chasers becoming host for expo instead of low ballin at a flea market RICKKKYYYYYY
So Fun to watch! I'm so glad you were open and transparent about everything, from numbers, attitudes, problems, to all the good times and how worthy it was.
Really special one this is…truly incredible behind the scenes content with a wonderfully organized arc across the video. All while providing what seems to be a refreshingly honest take of events and capturing the love, frustrations, and endless effort that went into making this convention happen.

Did a great job covering everything. As someone who worked for a Toy Vendor for con season in SoCal; i felt everything. The Wifi issues preventing epayment services. The anxiety over surprise celeb appearances and their "people". The random vendor Drama. Especially the Sunday breakdowns with shady event companies not honoring their contracts. Setup Day and breakdown are where people are tested.
Man it was an amazing convention best in years, me and my son had a blast thank you to Aaron, Ricky, Chris for making it happen, the haedwork to put all together, the amazing vendors, vibes and love, can't wait for next year.
As someone who understands the inner workings of a convention, this brought on all the feels. I’m on my 15th year running conventions and every year we hope for joy like this when it’s all done. Congrats guys!
Awesome video Caleb. Thank you and the Entire So Cal Gaming Expo squad for the behind the scenes look. Love all you guys
This was an awesome video. I watched it to the end and wanted more. People who sling mud are only upset because they haven’t stepped out towards their dreams! This is four men who stepped out and are doing great things for the community. Keep going and Caleb thanks for this awesome video! Continued success to you!
I Love this Channel and everything you all do. Been a major fan for years. Riff and Ricky keep up the great work and the team as well!
Pumped! Been waiting for this video for months. Shout out to Caleb and PGS - very impressed 🤘🏼
It's really nice to see how people came together to help at the end
I don’t normally watch videos past 15 minutes/ but this kept me going all through till the end. Congrats to the new team & for you showing the raw stuff that goes on behind the scenes

This was an amazing video! One of my favs in a long time. Congrats to everyone involved with the show
It's the moments hearing someone talk about their dreams that gets me emotional. Great video!
Great video, thanks for posting. It is so nice to see the mind of a dreamer come to reality.
I really appreciate the honesty that everyone shows. Really refreshing.
Riff's father seems like the most endearing man in the world. Big congrats to everyone for buying this and putting on a great weekend!
This was such a cool ride, to be here with you guys. Even here from Europe, we love the stuff you guys do. Caleb great work man, you really showed us what is was like from start to finish.
Bro I love Rifts level of awareness seeing someone needed his help while talking!!!
Yes! This is the video I've been waiting for. Squad!
Great show! Respect for all the work that was put into it! As a vendor, I can't wait for the next one!
Riffs parents are so cute and so freaking supportive! Now it makes sense why he seems like such a nice guy
Fantastic video, that was a legit documentary. Great narration and story telling. It made me feel like I was there and got to experience it. Great work and so happy for the pixel squad!
Caleb i have been a fan of your for years now. I met and spoke with you the past 2 years at the louisville retro game convention and i have to say this is some of your best work i have ever seen you put out. @PixelGameSquad you guys rock and i plan to come next year to your convention all the way from OHIO. Keep it up you guys are keeping our childhoods alive and thriving.
This is better than any Netflix special.
You told this story epically.
I am so genuinely happy for you guys. What an absolutely stellar performance and I can feel the passion and love through the screen. May God continue to bless you guys and I hope nothing but major continued success for you all in the future. Wicked awesome.
Dude, this is an amazing guerrilla style documentary on the running of a gaming convention. Your thumbnail and title make me think it's "just" a normal interview, not the amazing storytelling and filming you pulled off. You have talent Phoenix Resale!
Awesome video! Great work from everyone to make a memorable weekend and great job capturing it, you rock!!
Congratulations to the owners who put on this great expo. Thanks for covering this too. It would be cool to see food vendors outside for a bigger experience. Just no food or drink inside but that would drive even more traffic.
Fantastic documentary style editing, an absolute masterpiece.
This Is amazing what a great job from everyone involved its also nice that Caleb got to post this that's nice of riff to give him that access

I wanted to say that I don’t normally like to watch long videos but this one was amazing.

Thank you for sharing this with us!!!!
I love everything about this. Good job on this mini doc
Everything here checks out, especially the registration, line, and wi-fi problems. You can plan, have meetings, and sketch stuff out as much as you want, but there's always stuff that breaks or needs to be figured out last-minute. Great video!
Awesome job Phoenix and Pixel! Looked like an awesome show! I may have to make the journey from Canada next year to check it out! Well done everyone
Phoenix....!!!! This was sum GREAT behind the scenes raw footage no one really Sees(set-ups)!! Awesome Video! Appreciate all the hard work these dudes put in to make the event happen!!
This was a great mini-doc! I will admit I am not a big fan of Caleb’s Phoenix Resale videos, but this was very well done and it was fun seeing the controlled chaos that is putting on a big event like SoCal Gaming Expo.
The most important piece of business that most people overlook is the people. Having people to assist or those who want to help or even the networks of those which step in to assist in fixing issues or bottlenecks are absolutely critical to having a successful event like this. The costs are a stress, the expectations are a stress, and wanting to genuinely put on a show that everyone will enjoy is a huge stress.
Great job guys! Keep the exposure going! I honestly hope that smaller expos start to happen between big expos in our coast.
This was an amazing documentary on a gaming expo. Everyone was incredibly authentic and seeing this behind-the-scenes look while running an expo speaks to the overall organizational experience of all involved. Exceptional time management too.
