10:48 The Price Is Retro
If this is your first time playing Price Is Retro, here’s how we play. I’m going to list off 4 or 5 games and everyone has to guess how much the lot is worth in total. Whoever is closest to the actual value wins that round! Everyone has a list and everyone guesses on each other's list. At the end, the player that won the most rounds wins the episode! But watch out for the robot Deus Guess Machina! He averages all of our guesses together for his own guess

Easily one of my favorite moments was when I got to film all these celebrities giving shoutouts back to my Army unit.

I got to be part of the Nintendo Dads panel to talk about retro gaming at the con in my home town. And by panel I mean just me and Marty Estes I was also introduced to the girl that voiced Ash from Pokemon.

i was going to origins game fair with my friends, and one of the features of the con was the ability to pitch a board game you designed to publishers with the intent of either getting advice or possibly being picked up by the publisher and have your board game sold.
my friend sam had been developing a game for awhile called ‘go for the krill’ a whale themed trick taking card game, and he was planning on pitching it at the convention. while we were in line to get tickets we struck up a conversation with the guy behind us we all hit it off, and it turns out he owned a board game company and he picked up my friends game and it’s gonna be launched in the near future!

A good friend and I took our sons to Gamescom 2016 in Cologne, Germany (pictured is the FFXV wristband I still have from the event). It was such an amazing and over the top event, and while I was originally excited for myself, I quickly switched gears and I let my son take over and decide how we spent our time there. It was my first large gaming event like this, so I didn't realize how much time we would spend waiting in line though. My favorite thing there was the Tekken 7 booth, but it was bittersweet, because we waited in line for a while to play it, and then found out that my son was too young and they wouldn't let him play it even though I was his father. Very strange, but still a great experience overall.

I've only ever been to Anime Midwest, and that was more to chaperone my sister. It was fun tho. It was really surreal seeing a bunch of people dressed up in cosplay, and it was fun trying to see how many I recognized. I got a picture with Pepsi Man. We went to a few panels of varying quality, from a professional samurai to some people who just bought a ton of Kazoos. We did Karaoke, and I sang Call Me Maybe, The Kirby Right Back At Ya Theme, Bye Bye Baby (Giants home run theme), Full Disclosure (Steven Universe), and Ya Got Trouble (Music Man). Someone sang Escape from the City (SA2) and the Phineas and Ferb Theme Song. It was a good time!

I took my son to CGF yesterday morning near opening time and he played a demo of a game called Ghost Ship Grannies. The game is an RPG about a group of grannies who get shipwrecked and you have to find the other grannies and do RPG things. Then when I obligatorily signed up for the email list after talking to the game's artist I saw 2 lines up on the sheet someone had signed up with the SAME [email protected] address as my son's name! It was the most coincidental moment that has happened to me at a convention. That was the question, right?
