** DISCLAIMER: Retro World Expo flew me out to the convention, but nobody asked me to make this video and all of the thoughts and opinions are my own ** - Hry
It was a pleasure meeting you Metal Jesus!! I’m CJ, the girl who had the Pokemon bus display! Just posted my video with you as well, I was so nervous meeting you so I was rambling haha! But you’re a stand up guy and I wanted to say thank you so much for taking the time to shoot a little clip with me. It means so much! 😊
I was nervous meeting him too. Lmao.... I probably came off as so weird to him. Lol
@@username_redacted_1987 it's cool relax I'm metal jesus younger bi nephew he knows all his fans are weird dont worry about it at all, perfectly normal 😊
Clarification: I don't yet have a complete PSP collection, just that I want to go for one. I have a little over 200 titles to go (there are 606 total in North America)
What about your vita collection?
Could you add the panel segment part in another video?
I see that top speed on the forza horizon 5 drag strip. Your goin down….. eventually 😆
Are you going for umds too?
I've been collecting a bunch of Maddens and Fifas. Great time and they're a lot of fun once you get better at it. Easy 30-45 min pick up and play games
I feel like MJR secretly wants to become a travel channel for gamers. And I'm ok with this.
That would be really cool.
Tips and tricks when on the road, by Metal Jesus Rocks.
It was great meeting up with you in my home state! Thanks for giving some love to Hartford too!
You bet Lon! Now we just gotta get you out to the Seattle/Portland area.
@@MetalJesusRocks I enjoyed the convention as well (though I didn’t really chat with you or anything like that on Saturday (and I would’ve mentioned the rpgmaker game Omori as it’s such a good game), I still enjoyed the expo and got to chat a bit with the guy who owns the channel gaming historian (btw not sure if you saw me or not, but I had glasses and was wearing a mostly black shirt that was also white (it is an Omori shirt))
Was great to meet you and get my backpack signed! Always afraid to meet the channels I watch because you never know if someone will end up being a jerk. You were just like you are in the videos a badass metal dude thats super kind. Hope to see you at another con in the future!
You're the best! Thanks dude 🤘
Dude! Wish I known that you were there, DC. I would have loved to have met you. (MJR fans, go check out his channel. It focuses on game room setups and ideas.)
Hi disk cart! Im a fan!
It was seriously awesome finally meeting in person and hanging out! Looking forward to future cons!
Dude, you are super cool. I had a great time hanging out with ya. 👍
You should have a fan fest MJR. So we can meet you!
It was great talking with you Pixel Dan
Yes I agree it would be nice to you!
You and Metal Jesus should do some kind of collaboration.
Watching you for so many years now. I like to say, you rockkkkkk dude. Keep it honest and cool that’s what makes you great. I respect your honesty and just being a good human and simple guy. Thanks Metal J
I appreciate that!
I love the unique perspective of someone from the western part of the country being amazed at how old the buildings are.
Being from Massachusetts, I kind of take the historical significance of the buildings for granted since I’ve been around them my entire life.
I was bummed I had to skip attending this year’s expo but I hope to be there next year!
that and the New England Foliage
It was such an honor meeting you last week at the expo!!! Thanks for awnsering my questions about the Steam Deck and taking a look at my limited edition and modded consoles. Also thanks for taking a pic with me Rock On Metal Jesus!! 🤘🏾
You bet!
I loved the shots of the scenery, what a beautiful city!
It really is!
THANK YOU! Love hearing your perspective of the city in addition to the expo itself!

So glad you had an awesome time! Unfortunately I missed you...the line for you was nuts on day one. But that's Hartford, man - still metal, through and through. It was heartwarming to see considering we lost our one rock station years ago (WCCC).
Thanks for coming!
I’ve watched you for soooo looong!!! Your videos definitely give me comfort and joy even during the toughest time! Thank you for all you do!!
I'm so glad! Have a great weekend. 👍
@@MetalJesusRocks Thank you!!!! We love you man!
Thank you so so so much for this series ! We are blessed to see you travel to places that some probably have never been and see some of the cool old retro games along the way !!!!!
So awesome meeting you at the expo. You are such a legend and I love how passionate you are about gaming. I also can’t believe my picture made it in the video!! Hope you can make it back to CT in the future!
I will be back. Oh yes. 😎
It was awesome bumping into you, even if very briefly! Glad you had a great time in our neck of the woods! Hit us up if you're ever back this way.
Sounds good!
Such a great video--respect for all the cuts that went into this one 🤘🏻
Thanks for taking us along!
Man, between your editing style and the 4K, it’s like a mix of the old with the new, the perfect retro. Keep up the insanely good vids!
Hey Metal Jesus, it was really interesting hearing your observations on the buildings and the climate and stuff. I'd be happy to watch an MJR travelogue! The place looks similar to areas here in England. Great video!
Seriously, my favorite type of video you make. Love these. And excited to see you finally commit to go for the full psp collection!
Hey Jason! your videos are amazing! Keep on travelling and showing the towns and events you visit ! :D
Great video. I was happy to be able to meet you there. Glad that you had a fun time
Fridays are better when a new MJR video drops! Thank you for this fun video and I hope you had a blast! 🤘🎸💀
I am jeleous for all of you guys..
Here in Indonesia.. we never got this kind of game expo or anything..
Glad i can experienced here.. with all of you.. through MJR Videos..
Thankyou somuch
i love how authentic and natural your videos feel! :)
Hearing you speak about how much you enjoyed the "old" buildings makes me appreciate the history I have around me. Setting aside the prehistoric etc. My city has a Castle and cathedral from around 1070. It also has still standing roman walls! People in Europe are VERY lucky.
Thank you MJR these are becoming some of my favorite videos on the channel please keep safe in your travels!
Always enjoy your travel/game hunting videos so much. Great to watch and listen after a long day. Thanks!
Lovely to see the Premium Editions guys in this video. Every one of their releases has been a must-have title. Really nice guys who always respond to any questions on their FB page.
Awesome video. Always looking forward to it. Looks like you had a blast at the expo.
I think those are called Perler Beads, so it may be Perler bead art. At least that's what a friend of mine calls them that makes them.
Thank you! I just got some of those at a convention and was wondering what they were called.
Yes, they are Perler Beads. My daughter is way into those things. You put the little colored beads on a peg board and iron them to fuse them together. They have many special kits with specially shaped peg boards and patterns. My daughter got a Mario one and has made many Mario characters with it.
Please come back to the east coast again soon! My fiance and I had such a great time at our first convention and it was so cool meeting you! I'm so glad you enjoyed New England! It was so surreal to just see you walking around and see you eating lunch at the same BBQ resturant I was eating at lol
Oh man...I ate so many times at Bears Smokehouse BBQ. That place was great! 😍
@@MetalJesusRocks Macho Nachos fuh days!
@@MetalJesusRocks , Famous Dave's is a pretty good place where I live, and, best of all, their barbecue sauce also sells nationwide if you cannot make the trip over here.
Thanks for sharing your experience on your trip. Looks like it was a really great convention! Hope you can make it to the Southern California Gaming convention this February. My twin brother and I met you and drunken master Paul last time. Thanks for being such a cool, down to earth person like you are in your videos!
These Expo video rock! It's been so long Jason! Definitely worth the wait. I bet folks were stoked to finally meet you! Awesome vid!! 🤙🏽🎸🤙🏽🎸 Smart game hunting the best way to go!
Fun video! The vlog / game hunting content is always my favorite.
Awesome to see, looks like a great conference and time had by all. So nice to see things getting back to normal again! 😁
Great video! Some really great shots of Hartford
Hopefully you can make another video about all the new PSP games you have been buying. And which ones you’ve liked the most so far. Also now that you declared you are going for a complete collection, you know we are going to hold you accountable lol
Really awesome 4k footage of the town! Man, super crisp! Beautiful colors, nice capture!
It was so great to finally meet you! You're the reason I bought a ticker this year. I hope you had a chance to check out some of the local retro game shops in CT. If you come back next year please bring John R and Reggie with you!
I went to Midwest Gaming Classic that same weekend. The east coast is a place I want to visit for sure. Those are some dope pickups. I debate on whether or not I want a complete set of anything but if I did, I would get a Lynx set. Even if it was loose
How can anyone not love this guy? Always super friendly. He rocks, it's in his name for a reason 😜
The comments are flooded with people who met MJ and every single comment is how awesome of a dude he was. Hear him say he "Didn't get to spend a lot of time" at different places he went? Cause he was being such a cool dude and doing meet and greets all over. I just want to recognize how awesome he is. He enjoyed going here, but he served the community too. What a wonderful, beautiful community you've developed here, Mr. Jesus. Made me wish I could've been there.
Excellent video, MJR! Absolutely love your travel videos, they're so interesting and you do a great job filming and editing your experiences. Keep up the great work.
I really enjoy the gaming convention videos. So glad they’re back!
another awesome video mj! i really love getting to virtually tag along on these mini vacations with you. until next time, my friend.
This looks so amazing, the expo looks like heaven. Great to see people out being able to enjoy the social side of retro games again. Keep rockin'! :)
As a long time fan of your content it was great to finally meet you! I was the guy with the Gojira hoodie who gave you a Sleeping Beauty Plug and Play. Maybe in the future we'll see an update video on your Plug and Play collection since the last one was 8 years ago (Crazy how time flies!). That Sleeping Beauty or any of the other ones you have would be hilarious to feature in an "I Hate You" challenge as well (Create your own drinking games!?). Thanks for coming out this year! The expo has certainly exponentially grown in popularity and size since the last one. You really can't see and experience it all in one day! I found that great deals can still be had even in this market, just need to shop around all the booths and find the one with the lower price for what your looking for. It seemed that vendors this year were much more willing to take offers or give you a great bundle discount! Rock on Metal Jesus and keep up the great work!
It was awesome to finally meet you last Saturday at the expo. I've been a fan for years and glad you finally made it to an east coast con! See ya next time! DT forever! 🤘🤘🤘
Just love seeing the autumn foliage, very scenic. I like that MJR takes it all in and shows us, this is what life’s about. I hope MJR has a map at home and has pins on every place he’s visited, that’s the real unlocked achievement. Maybe an end of the year recap of where MJR has visited with stories could be a thing. 👍🏻🙏🏻
It was awesome meeting, and chatting with you man! I'm pumped you threw in the picture of the MB Microvision I picked up! Was great sharing the story behind it. Hope to see you on the east coast again! Metal Jesus is always welcome in CT 🤘
Thank you so much for coming to Rwx! Your panel was great. We hope to see you again!
I hope so too!
I live for these game hunts. Living vicariously through you. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thank you so much Metal Jesus for being so nice to my boy! He's still so amazed that you have 8000 games! You always go above and beyond.. thanks again! 🤘🏻
I always love to see your video game hunting trip, nice videos.
I love this channel so much. Thank you for the constant positive attitude and kindness. It always makes my day when I see you upload. 😊
You are so welcome!
I cant express what an amazing human Metal Jesus is! Simply put, he was humble and delightful to talk to! Keep up the amazing content !
Awesome expo thanks for the video, you managed to pick up some cool stuff.
These road trip videos are fast becoming my favourite. Would really love to see you visit all 50 states. Another great trip! 👍
The east coast is just as gorgeous as the Pacific Northwest. I've been there, but it was only for a week. I want to go back for an extended amount of time. 😊
This was great! I can't believe I waited to watch this. Usually I look forward to my Fridays because I know there'll be a MJR vid. I also like the MJR Extras vids when they come through.
OK, those magnetic pins and canvases were fabulous! This Expo looked great, we should have taken the 4 1/2 hour drive from Maine to check it out. Hope you all go again next year!
This is so awesome! So envious man! Thanks for sharing this. Love and blessings from Ontario Canada!
Looking forward to seeing you complete the PSP collection!
We need to spread the word and get this guy 1m subs!!! It has been fun watching the channel grow.
That convention looks legit!
It really was.
Well there is always next year. 😄
JohnRiggs have you played the GTA Trilogy Remastered yet?
He missed out on MGC tho.
@JohnRiggs Come out next year!
Dude it was so great that you came to my home state! My son Silas and I had a great time meeting you and thanks for being so gracious with your time. Blessings to you!
Love these travel log videos!
Thanks for the great video. Clicked the link for Evan's book and will have it Sunday. Looks awesome.
I live in South Jersey, this was only a 4 hour drive for me; but I've never been there before. I did a day before and after; I went all the way out to Boston and all around Hartford. It was a fantastic time there; although I spent WAY more money than expected, even acquired a Kaypro 2 lol. It was great meeting you and several other CZcamsrs like Lon Seidman.
Awesome video! I would love to see that panel discussion that you did😊
Hey Metal Jesus! I'm glad you came to Hartford, CT for the convention. By the way, you met my brother there and took a picture of him as well. He probably told you about his CZcams Channel as well. I hope I get to meet you someday. I'm glad my brother did. Maybe I go to Portland someday for the convention there. Keep up the good work and stay safe during the pandemic! :)
Really cool meeting you in person. Keep up the good work
A colab with Daym Drops is in the works!! Glad you had a wonderful time! I hope to go to an expo someday soon!
Thx for taking us on the trip....you do rock ;-)
Thanks for taking a picture with me MJ! Best CZcamsr ever!
Jason, I’m glad to see you love the east coast! The area is beautiful in the fall season. Too bad you didn’t stay another week, we’re going to see Overkill and Demolition Hammer tomorrow night in their return home show in NJ!🤘🏻
The expo was great! Thank you for coming
It was great to FINALLY meet you and the guys!
Bobs 🙂🙏
Thanks so much for hanging out! You and BeAsT were super cool 🤘
He made you look so tiny!
Omg! You look like a little kid next to him.
Still to onlyfans
Really nice video-especially getting to see some of Connecticut. I also really like touring the areas I visit before heading to different regions that game conventions happen in.
The foliage in Connecticut Is beautiful this time of the year👍
I love these types of vids, keep up the good work MJR
19:13 Hey that’s me! Thank you so much for including the picture of us in this video, I’m glad you had as much fun at RWX as I did!
that is really awesome. I can't believe i missed it since i live a few hours away. glad you got to see some of the east coast. too bad its gonna stay cold here until about april.
I’m a huge mark for old architecture too, one of my favorite parts of going to a new city. Looked like an awesome convention, hope to go one day
You had bad luck with the temperature, that was a colder weekend for this time of year. I’m bummed I didn’t get to go to Retro World Expo, I live in the area but had prior obligations. Looks like it was a blast though, can’t wait for a chance to go myself
Just wanted to say thanks for mentioning about The Game Console 2.0 never heard of this book till I watched this video. Just ordered it!
Maravilhoso!!! Belas imagens e viagem!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for showing Connecticut. I really like those beautiful shots.
It was great getting to meet you in person man! Glad you enjoyed your visit to my home state :)
Most definitely!
Glad you enjoyed New England! I live in Springfield just a short drive from Hartford and we have a beautiful area to explore.
Def attending next year, thx for telling everyone about this awesome expo.
Always enjoy your content so much. One of my highlights of the week 😁
Yay, thank you!
Great video as always. The beads are usually just called Perler (one of the brands that's very popular) or fusing beads, kinda like Bandaids or adhesive bandages. They're a ton of fun & a great simple hobby for watching CZcams, movies, TV.
Excited to see this !
Thank you so much for showing off that book! I'm buying that one immediately!
Man I always wanted to go to this expo, wish I went this year! I have lots of great memories of Hartford downtown and that convention center b/c of another con that happens (usually) in July (CTCon). Happy to see you had a blast at this one!
I really enjoyed the first part of your video. I’m in the UK and never been to America so I found it really interesting, thanks! I also enjoyed the rest of the video too of course 😀
Hey MJR,
Excellent vid! I’m Tom from Canvas Quest-- the guy who had the adventure game pins and magnets on canvas. Thanks so much for the shout out at 6:04 and for coming by our booth. It was a total blast to meet you and I’m really happy you liked our stuff! We’re passionate about making our old adventure game favorites! (with many more to come! :D) Thanks again and happy to shoot over some social media and shop links of ours if there is anything else you’d like!
Hey Tom! I couldn't find my footage of the name of your booth for some reason, which is why I didn't include it in the video. So THANKS for commenting! I mailed a package back home via UPS with your pins in it and other stuff. Thought they'd be here by now for the video, but I'll share them on social media when they arrive! So much cool stuff at your booth 👍
@@MetalJesusRocks Ah, that’s fantastic! I’d love that- thank you so much! And totally psyched you got to make it over to the East Coast and happy you had a good stay and fun times at the con- Kris at RetroWorld Expo puts on excellent show! Thanks again man!
