I travel to Greenville South Carolina, deep in the South of the USA to attend the Southeast Game Exchange. I tour the city, visit a local game & toy store, and even sing some Bon Jovi karaoke. And I show you all my GAME PICKUPS!

A fantastic video covering SEGE, as well as various other spots in Greenville, SC. It was really awesome meeting you, and hanging out during the convention. Glad I could help out with some video, and greatly appreciate you shouting out my channel! Also some really awesome pickups you got at the con.

MJR, I met you at the con on Sunday. I was at a dealers table looking at games, and you walked up right beside me, and I commented, “I’m a follower/big fan.” You said thanks and gave a fist bump 👊. I really do appreciate your channel and in what you provide. I look forward to it every Friday. You are right, SC is hot. Lived here most my life, and humidity gets bad, which makes it feel hotter than it actually is. I live in Aiken, about 2 hours south of Greenville. Came up for the show and in hopes to me you 😁

I'd still call Greenville a city, though I may be biased due to all the small towns in SC and the otherwise lack of cities (plus combined with Spartanburg it makes for a pretty good-sized metropolitan area). Falls Park on the Reedy is a lovely area, great call to stop in there!

And not to leave it out, loved the video of the SEGE as well and the visit to some of the stores here also. One thing I can say about us that deal with video gaming around here is that we try to get the hard-to-find items. Items that are complete in the box as well as rare ones. I actually saw some of the items that I had sold to some individuals in your video and that was cool. I am glad that you enjoyed your time here in Greenville. Also I like the other videos that you have done also. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing about our city and the SEGE.

I love visiting Upstate Games even though it's a bit of a drive for me from Western NC, but the shops here with Red Fox Gaming, Infinity Gaming, the Game Store & More, and Timmy Macs scratch my itch. I personally try to buy a game from all my local shops.

I know it was nothing and you probably don't remember but it meant a lot to me. Yours was the first YT video game Channel and video I watched about 5 years ago. It got me started back collecting after 10 years off because of an alcohol addiction. I had already quit drinking, but it gave me back something I'm passionate about, besides music (especially Metal), that won't kill me. Thank you, so much.
