Famicom Dojo: Midwest Gaming Classic 2009 Special

[cAPSlOCKrOXX]

BENHECK. AND SEANORANGE. I'm so going next year...

[8BitFox]

you must come up to cons like Sakura con, and emerald city comic con. sure you'll have to compete with "Pink godzilla" but it would be so much CHEAPER!

[Wexfyf]

Ben heck was all "what the heck" ( really bad pun intended) :()

[msprout]

How many Minnesotans are there? A lot, I'd bet.

[ankevroon]

On the biggest retro game market I bought Nazo No Murasame with manual, everything in perfect state for 6 dollars! What is the normal price?

[AeroCmdr]

That looks like it was quite fun.

What was up with the food at Ben Heck's booth?

If I was there I would have seriously considered the twin fami. heh

[SeanOrange]

If you listen, he shouts "those donuts were free!" at the end of the clip. Hahaha

[unleadedlogic]

Oh damn, that twin famicom was for sale? I thought it was just a demo unit for you guys. You don't have it for sale still do you?

[SeanOrange]

Naw, someone at No Brand claimed it after MGC ended, and we sold it to him right away.

THERE WILL BE MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM, THOUGH.

[unleadedlogic]

Let me know when you get em, I'll pick one up for sure.

[SeanOrange]

Technically you should ask the RisingStuff guys.

[pezzwatoosh717]

Why can't there be anything like this in Saskatoon SK Canada? This looks like a lot of fun

[SeanOrange]

Hahaha, I don't think I've ever heard of Saskatoon.

[pezzwatoosh717]

Well its one of those citys you never hear about unless you live in the area but trust me, you have to travel to at least Edmonton for all the good stuff.

[AparoidX]

How much was the Famicom BASIC set? Did you have a data recorder?

[SeanOrange]

I did not have a data recorder.  I believe the BASIC set was $50.

[famicomdork]

Wow!  Was all of that stuff at your table for sale?

[SeanOrange]

Of course.

I had people -- especially at Geek.Kon -- comment on my "collection". Eff that, this is MERCHANDISE, son!

[famicomdork]

LOL, so where did you have all this stuff...if the store is in Japan?

[nectarsis]

It was a great time...very cool meeting/harrasing Sean MUAHAHHAAHHAHHA

[SeanOrange]

And good seeing you again this weekend as well!

[nectarsis]

But of course :) Have a safe trip back home bro. Weather was rough on the way down last night. Now to power on the Fami MUAHAHAHHAHHAHAHA

[Davedude1230]

There should be events like this in NYC. WI is too far from me.

[SeanOrange]

Hey, like I told ChrisAnimeGuy...

[Davedude1230]

Wish me luck on that. Nobody in my area appeciates games older than PS2.

[shorty1k]

Wow, I would have much rather gone to this than FXcon this year, how much was it to get in?

[SeanOrange]

I don't know how much regular admission was (might still be on the site). I paid quite a bit more to come as a vendor, though.

[popculturehero]

Convention footage is always a hoot.

Thanks for posting! Because all gaming is eventually classic gaming.

[SeanOrange]

There's something morbid implied in that, but thanks!

[theimporter]

Hope you were selling doubles.

[ChrisAnimeGuy]

Thats awesome! Makes me wish I lived in the US. Here in the UK we never get things like this :( well, not where I am anyways, looked coolz though ^^

[SeanOrange]

Hey, find enough like-minded people, and you can just start your own!

[Progearspec]

How did you stay awake for the entire convention sean plenty of coffee!? Btw lol at 5:12 dance man ! dance ! You need some soul !

[SeanOrange]

It actually wasn't too bad! I've been to much more tiring ones.

[BurningRangers]

Man, I really wanted to go to that this year, but funding wouldn't permit it. Looked like a lot of fun though.

[SeanOrange]

There's always next year!
