Hey there, Gamers! I hope you all had a great Gen Con weekend, if you attended, and if you didn’t get the chance, I hope you got to see some new game announcements to put on your wish lists! I had a great time at the show. I got to see a lot of cool new games, try a few, and picked up some new things as well! I wasn’t sure how to go about this post, but I think it’ll mostly just be some highlights of my experience. This post will probably be a long one, so strap in! I’ve got a lot to talk about.

Hey Gamers! We are just a week away from Gen Con 2024! It is the first time I am attending this show, and I am lucky enough to have a press badge, so I have been scheduling a bunch of meetings with publishers, and been looking at all the exhibitors, events, and more to check out.
It’s a bigger show than I have ever been to, so it’s safe to say that for every ounce of excited I am, I may be twice as nervous! I think it can be easy to get overwhelmed at big shows, but I am hopeful that it will be much more fun than it is intimidating!
Anyway, I wanted to highlight a few things that I am most excited to see / check out. What are you most looking forward to?

Unfortunately, not a lot of hits for me this time. Most games came in at around a 5, with a few better, and a few worse. But hey, it’s still fun to try things out!

Hey Gamers! I wanted to do a not-so-quick post (there’s a lot I want to say, so it’s gonna be long, okay?) to recount my latest PAXU experience! As always, I had a great time. It was my first year with a media badge, and it was a great privilege to have, so I’m very appreciative of that, thanks PAX! I felt like it helped me make more connections with publishers, which was awesome! Without further ado, let’s dive in!
