Attending Canada's LARGEST Gaming Convention for the first time, 2024!
Hey Awkventurers!
Today was my first time attending a convention, and it happened to be Canada's Largest Gaming expo! I had all weekend VIP/Media passes, and was so kindly invited by /MrFuzzyWuzzy to be on their influencer team. It was so much fun going around and checking out different vendors, booths, and playing games! I wasn't able to play everything, but hopefully I'll get to do even more next year!
I also enjoyed speaking with and learning more about some of the organizations and groups present at the convention.

@@Awkventurer np ur doing ok today
I am glad you had a fun time! Conventions like these can be filled with so much to see, so many things to do, and so many people to meet! The genre cross over is so convenient as well, seeing the areas of video gaming, cosplay, board gaming, and just general pop culture not to mention the technology element along with movies and music! If this is going to be an annual event for you, maybe next year you can also plan a yearly meetup or something along the lines where you can meet your community some day. Being a big Star Wars fan myself, I especially enjoyed you delving into the force related light saber battling as well as getting to sit on the emperor's throne. It makes me a little sad that I missed out when you live streamed all of this but am glad you put things together in this video!

Thanks so much Ignito! It was my first real one so it was really nice to attend and highlight was getting to speak to the people at the booths! The light saber duel was my favourite too, i didn’t think it was as tricky as it was to get the routine but lucky I had such good help! Thanks so much for watching, enjoying and commenting! That may be a fun possibility and thing to set up in the future for sure! 🎉🥳
😂 the Alberta Ghostbusters excited about the parkas is awesome!

I know!! I loved listening to him talk about their organization and I totally get the excitement, it can get freezing here so to have canon accurate jackets and staying warm?! Double win!!
That was such an awesome time at the Edmonton Gamecon and I'm still jealous you got to see Deborah Ann Woll! 😏 My favourite part of the video was when you got to try all the different generations of Tetris. I really hope you do get invited back next year and a DJI sponsorship in place by then (hint, hint @DJI) 😉

Thank you so much eyeshield! Really happy I went thanks so much for commenting! 🤍🙇🏻♀️
I loved this video and can't wait to see more like it in future. I've never been to a convention and this makes me want to go all the more. Also you're the ultimate Sith Lord, I'll never side with the Jedi again.

Thank you! Trust me, the Jedi don't even eat dessert - not worth it.
