I'll never get people running to shops in person on Black Friday! You get pretty much the same deals, or better ones online and nobody tries to kill you over a stupid TV or a blender 🤣! I'm always amused by watching the compilations of people doing it though. It's always hilarious!

oh man....I genuinely want to live in that museum storage area...it's what we all dream of and will never come close to touching. That was legitimately the most amazing thing I've ever seen in retro game collecting. Thanks for getting in there to show us that...wow...just wow!

It was pretty funny rifling through a box of Atari cartridges only to realize it was you standing right next to me doing the same thing. Fun meeting you in person.

I’ve lived in the Syracuse area my whole life. Had the pleasure of going to Green Lakes many times and have been to the Strong museum a few years ago. Looking forward to getting there again. I go to RetroGameCon every year and always have a good time. I even had a table this year to show off my indie game. I’m glad you liked Syracuse, lots of great parks in the area worth checking out next time you’re here.

Like you I am a Metal guy, when I met my wife in the 90's she was listening to Stereolab all the time. I never expected to see one of their albums in one of your videos. People should definitely give them a listen.

I grew up in Syracuse, and lived in Rochester in the late 90s. I always hit up the Sound Garden when I go home. I gotta say, this vid made me homesick. It's cool to see a few of my favorite KZreadrs in my old stomping grounds.

The nature views were such a treat, MJR. I've always wanted to visit New York in autumn and the footage did not disappoint. Thank you for sharing that!

As someone who was Western New York born and raised (since moved south in 2010), the rest of New York State is chock full of natural beauty. The problem is the 5 month winters that are mind numbingly awful. Destroyed roads, destroyed underneath cars, and destroyed backs from shoveling snow. I don't miss it.

Wow that museum is amazing, wish I could see that in person, great work Sir, best content ever by you that makes me smile everytime.

Really enjoyed this one! You combined everything i love about your travel videos, blended with your expo and game/music pickups vids-and seeing John Riggs with you is always a treat.

That strong museum looks insane! def gonna plan a trip to it eventually.

Nice to see Ryan (Mystic)! I just thought where else I remember the name Syracuse and then suddenly I remembered Level 4 Syracuse (BMX XXX) 🙂 Good way to start weekend with this go to NY Retro + Retro museum!

I now know my retirement goal: save up, move to Rochester or nearby, and get a job at the Strong museum.

It was great to finally meet you. Very nice to see you enjoyed yourself while you were out here. If you fly into Rochester and stay out this way...Syracuse is just over an hour away, and you would only be about an hour and a half from Niagara Falls. Not sure if that was on your list of things to see. Outstanding video. You covered so much in just this video. Hope to see you guys next year too. 😊👍

Love those antique card and board games from the 1930s and prior. Such cool artwork and vibe. Would be a very fun thing to collect... and surprisingly affordable too, as far as antiques go. I found Parker Brothers hidden tiles for $40 -- and some of the others featured here for even less.

I got the storage tour on my visit too, it's amazing! Looks like they've gotten more stuff since then :)

The Strong National Museum of play is kind of a point of pride for native Rochestarians so it's dope to see someone giving it a more national bump. They put together a really neat book a few years ago called "The History of Video Games in 64 objects". Also if you didnt you shiuld try a garbage plate next time. It's a very weird but amazing local dish that's seeped into basically every burger joint, most diners, and a lot of pizza places.

I just wanna move in there and live the rest of my life out exploring it, playing the games, and eating at that cool looking little diner i spotted as you passed it at the start. What a great video. You are a lucky man MJ. Ive never been able to go to anything like this in my life. im 54 now and have lived gaming and playing since like 1976. And yet I have gone no where and my disability combined with other health stuff and money makes it beyond me. Ive watched you for years now and through you I get to go to all the cool places. Dont have to walk for hours. Get to see all the cool stuff. And have it narrated as well. Thank you my online friend in gaming. Bless you and your family and friends. You all ROOooock!

I'm a few weeks late to watching this vid, but I went to Syracuse University, so this was awesome to see you visit CNY! Looks you got a rare good weather day for fall/winter in Cuse for traveling in (though decidedly less good weather on the convention day). And if that was Wolff's Biergarten that I spotted near the end, great choice. It's not the best city around, but it has its bright spots - would recommend a short trip over to Cazenovia next time you are in the area

Hey man, just saw a bunch of pick up videos with Reggie. Just wanted to say that you guys have fantastic energy, and a great vibe.

There was a LOT to Like/Love in this video! I saw the two WonderSwan color(s) and Sega Pico! Wouldn’t mind having both in my collection of handhelds that is actually limited! 🙄😎

I have seen REO Speedwagon live several times in concert and they never disappoint. Their shows are excellent with lots of energy.

I got to see Stereolab a few year ago and it was truly something else, gotta go and listen to them again, because I think I didn't really got to appreciate their music. Great video as always, thoroughly entertaining.

Another great video man! I recently bought Cake’s “Fashion Nugget” on vinyl. IMHO their very best. And I noticed a shot of Oni amongst a couple of Tomb Raider games. PC versions. coincidentally I got the PS2 version of that one today. Plus I’ve got those TR games in those wonderful PC-boxes as well. Made me do a little “squeeee!” over here 😊

Metal Jesus! Your opinion on Cake is dead on. they’re one of those bands that I could listen to pretty much all the time without complaints. I wouldn’t say that I’m a huge fan, but their music is very listenable.
