New tattoo this weekend.
Thinking maybe a Pooka from Dig Dug but thinking of other ideas. I still need something from ActRaiser, Shadowgate, and a host of my other favorite games.

PRGE is the convention I always have the least amount of free time, but will always make time for the museum.

This weekend is Portland Retro Gaming Expo! Always a great time.
I'm hosting my own panel, moderating a panel or two, and will be hanging out at my single table at 742 (circled) with my indie NES games, RIGGS hats (like the one I'm wearing here) and a lot more.
Hope you can make it!

Hosting a local comic con (on the mic doing announcements + moderating a celebrity panel), Portland Retro Gaming Expo with a table + panel + moderating a panel or two, ring annoucing for Reactivate Pro Wrestling -- all over the course of 8 days. + my full time radio job.

Love to see it.

I did! Well, I ate fudge looking out from the observation deck if that counts.

JohnRiggs @johnriggs.bsky.social · 6d

I'm sure I still have mine. I'll check and bring to PRGE if I do.

Any convention that has its own beer is always a good thing.

Sure, Mario Galaxy 1&2 is $69.99 but if they released Shadow of the Colossus for PS5 for $99.99 I'd preorder the digital and buy the physical.
