Glad you had an awesome time. I love when you can be walking down a corridor one minute and in a game with people the next... Its one of the best things about a convention that size. You've sold me on Kitchen Rush too, I love when a game does something unique

Nice! I was in the UK for work in April. Part of me was hoping that I'd get sent back over during the timing of the UKGE but the stars didn't align. Maybe someday. I love getting to my local convention each year and trying out all the new games and catching up with friends that I only see online or at the convention (we have Artemis set up at our Con as well and it's definitely a fun experience). Enjoy your new pile of games. I look forward to future reports. :)

I love this style of video. You are really, very good at how you laid everything out and having the couch back there makes you sharing feel more personal. As always, I share your videos and mention your channel in every place I can, (I should hand out your business cards with my game recommendations...🤔) I always want to do more for you because I have such an appreciation and gratitude for what you have done for me! I'm excited for your Patreon, I hope you get everything you need and more, I will ordered my back up Timmy shirt now, and, as always, thank you so much for what you do.

Glad you had such a fun UKGE! The space rig thing looks mad fun - might try to book that next year! Shame I couldn't get you a copy of Wibbell++. Hopefully at some point soon. Really interesting to hear that you feel isolated doing the show - sorry to know you sometimes feel like that and thanks for sharing. It's easy to watch the lovely episodes and imagine that you're always having fun, playing games with folk... Happy early birthday!

It was our first year at the UK Games Expo. We had an absolute blast and played so many games. What amazes me is seeing what other people have said/written about and realising that despite being there for three days there were so many things that we missed! Can't wait for next year, and it would be great to meet up with you then. www.glitchfreegaming.com/?s=UK+Games+Expo

Mr. Purkes. I am happy, if you ever consider it, to make the PT-BR subtitles of your videos so you could reach the non english speakers bg community in Brazil. I enjoy your videos quite lot, and I am happy to "work for you" in retribution. Cheers!

Hi Gidinho, that's a cool idea! If you would like to contribute subtitle translations you can do it on any video by clicking the "More" button underneath the video next to the Share button, and then click "add translations". I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to pay you for your effort, though.

As someone who's never been to a games convention is it essential to go with friends or will you be able to find games without? Also, I can't wait for your patreon, I can't quite justify the big expenditure on a t-shirt at the moment but I love your videos.

Sethzard, I have been 2 years in a row on my own. I met tonnes or great people (eg John, Sam & Vic) by just walking up to a table and chatting them. Most people are very welcoming and happy to meet you too. It's a great experience and it's getting better each year.

Been to UKGE twice, both on my own. I'm not exactly the most outgoing person, but everyone's there for the same reason making getting into conversations easier, and with open gaming just find someone who's just starting to set up or just breaking something down and looks like there's a spare chair and more times than not they'll be happy to have you, and if you're at UKGE, most of the demos are full games rather than part games so just turning up to a booth with an open chair usually gets you into a game as long as you don't mind playing a literal sales pitch (or... kickstarter backer pitch... So many Kickstarter booths)

I think the other two commenters have done a great job of describing it. There is a very welcoming atmosphere, and there will be other people looking for players - and you can certainly find games to demo in the hall, and end up demoing with people you don't know - I did that a lot. In the evening people tend to have groups they've come with, but having said that I came alone last year and ended up playing with lots of people I'd never met. Thank you for wanting to support the Patreon!
