@BarniDeDino not bringing the steam deck oled is a huge clue. Takes forever to fly from Hawaii. Battery life is a huge factor on these flights, so I definitely think it's an ASUS event, especially since they're close to NYC often. Again, not trying to knock the Ally too hard, but yeah 😂

I live in NYC and anyone watching this video who is going should absolutely check out Wonderville, an awesome indie arcade bar. Unlike other bar arcades, this doesn’t have classic games you’ve played before. It’s entirely new independent games with really cool gimmicks and mechanics and it’s such a fun time. It’s like if real arcade games were still being made in 2024, truly a great time.

@RGGeek Месяц назад

Neat! There used to be a place in Berlin called the Game Science Center with a similar idea, but it shut down during COVID. 😭

@apollolux Месяц назад

I'm in NYC as well and always looking for new gaming spots! Where is this Wonderville? It sounds like an in-between of Barcade (any of the three) and Dave & Buster's and I'm totally for it.

When my wife and I were dating, she grew up about an hour from the city, so we visited a few times. One trip we walked around all day, and went to go see spamalot. After it ended we got up to leave and my legs were like jelly, I almost fell off the balcony. After we got home, I checked and we walked roughly 11 miles that day. We also didn't get arrested at the Nintendo store.

@HealyHQ Месяц назад

@BCfosheezy Месяц назад

"I won't be able to talk about why I went until next week." "I brought the ROG Ally for a very specific reason that we will talk about next week." Best "clues" as to why you were in NYC. It sounds like the Next-Gen ROG Ally hands-on for influencers.

@Allyouknow5820 Месяц назад

Rather the 2024 model (already announced the ROG Ally X) than a true next gen model. Bigger battery, redesigned to also not have the SD reader that can melt your SD cards (yup), and also with faster/higher bandwidth memory but no change in the CPU/GPU. More bandwidth is good tho, I'd guesstimate it could bring up to 10% more perf!

The Nintendo Store is always a fun visit. Back when it was the Pokémon center I went there often. I usually don't pickup anything there either but it's fun to look at the museum. It's a shame they don't have the Gulf War mined DMG, I thought they would still have it. I haven't been there in about ten years but whenever I'm in the city I stop by it.

I remember my first trip to NY to visit my aunts and cousins several years ago. The first thing I looked forward to was visiting Nintendo World, where I bought pretty neat stuff, like imported Mario merchandise, Nintendo World mugs, Mario shirts, and some games like Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix, New Super Mario Bros., and Mario Kart DS. Then I went to Chinatown, where I bought a Famicom Game Boy Micro from a retro game store. Also, those train trips, I loved them! Next time I visit New York, I try to visit these stores, too.

This video really hits home, literally. I recently took a trip back home to NY as well and I really wish i wouldve had a snack setup like that on the plane. lol My wife and I always go back home with a food list, and Halal Guys is on mine. Oh and I've definitely seen people use a bag of that size as a "personal" bag in addition to their carry on. Awesome video again.

@washuai Месяц назад

Heck yeah! for personal bag. I travel carry on only, one carry on size suit case for the overhead and one (in my case sling, not backpack) that fits under the seat in front, International sizes, (US only would be a little bigger, but that's a mistake). The only thing that gets to beat up my luggage is me and turbulence. So far, I've been lucky and my carry on suitcase hasn't had to be stowed out of cabin, but that's a risk on really full flights. I have been unlucky and had to have my personal bag had to also overhead. The seat with a divider down the under seat or no seat in front, which is great for leg room. While some planes are terrible enough that even a shorty liked me feels the lack of leg room, that's generally not an issue. Pockets, and a bag of essentials that can be pulled out of the bigger bag. I think I had the jacket, not the best, but there's a thing that has a pocket that can hold a tablet, in addition to other pockets, , so I have that additional on my person storage traveling, too. Could easily put an Odin 2 & a pocketable handheld, in addition to snacks in one of those. Be fancy, have the glasses.

I just got back from a trip to Alaska and ended up only bringing my Switch and VITURE glasses. Weird for me because I thought I might bring my newish RP35xx+, Steam Deck or Pimax Portal, but when I sat down to think about the types of games that I wanted to play along with the portability of the device for some reason the size and capabilities of the switch (plus the game backlog) came out on top. And the XR glasses were an incredible match with the switch. I totally recommend them to anyone who is interested and either travels a lot or has a lot of gaming time without a TV available.
