  • I had an awesome time at Mo Game Con 2023. This convention PACKED! Not just with games but with people, too. So much great stuff on the floor for all systems. I wanted to make some trades, buy a few things and, as always, just hang out in general. Here's the stuff I found, the people I met and the storm we were in.

    If you told me in 1985 that in the year 2023 that 30-50 yr olds will still be buying retro, I’d say you’re crazy. I’m 45 and I still love retro games. I’m glad it was never a phase like I was told.

    9:25 “Slacker’s CDs and Games” in the STL area is owned by the shadiest guy ever. Back in the Wii era, Nintendo blacklisted them because they sold Wiis on eBay for scalper prices. An employee reported them and got fired. I worked there around that time.
