Video Game Conventions, Astral Chain, Control and Oninaki

Published: Sept. 2, 2019, 10:30 a.m.

We're back guys! After a month hiatus, we get back in the swing of things by inviting Scott Clark from The Gaming Outsider podcast to talk about his upcoming convention R2V2, a video game-themed convention being hosted in Machesney Park, IL on September 21st 2019. 

Besides that, we talk about the latest news, both grim and uplifting, and our hype for Gears 5. Scott plays the game Telling Lies and Pictoquest, Pat plays the latest Blair Witch game, Oninaki, and shares the conversation with Stoy on Astral Chain and Control, the latter game we're thinking is a top 5 xontender for game of the year! After that we share some of our fondest memories of video game conventions, from E3 to Midwest Gaming Classic, trade shows, swap meets, and TwitchCon. What makes these conventions special, and popular? We also have Amber on briefly at the end, to talk about the Gamestop Managers Conference (@2hrs 22min)
