Totally forgot this was happening. Didn’t see a single bit of advertising or coverage anywhere since they announced they were merging egx into this.

Hope you had a good time. I’m not really the target market for this stuff anymore but they were great fun before I got older and more cynical.

Oh I got a lot of info probably because of following them, getting emails and games industry discord servers I'm in.

Thank you!

That is totally understandable

Yeah I was too! It was amazing. A lot better run than last time I attended

Sav's avatar

Glad to hear that it was better run for you

I'm on my way to London now ✌️

The queue to get in looked nuts! Thankfully the priority pass let me bypass the whole thing right before they opened up to general! 😁

I've only just managed to stop for a coffee at the S10 cafe so I think I'll sit for a bit 😄

Any recommendations for the show? What are your highlights so far?

I mainly come to buy merch lol though I did just go to the sea of thieves panel, now currently chilling in the tabletop zone

Boomer's avatar

Ha fair play! I'm just checking out the artist alley. Have you been over that side at all?

TheGreatestBanana12's avatar

Yeah I done that area yesterday.

Sav's avatar

How was it for you?

I queued for not too long as most people had their passes and stuff.

General is cheaper but you spend less time doing the things you want to do personally.

Also the convention was completely sold out today

It was good thanks I had priority entry and already had my badge so it wasn't too bad getting in today.

Missed it =(
October was quite packed with events, I will report from Comic-Con Malta in November!

Might give it a go next year. Do older people still go (40+) to this MCM stuff (now it’s not really egx) or will they look really out of place?

Sav's avatar

no one looks out of place even if you're 40+ and people really don't care how old you are just as long as you are having fun

Boomer's avatar

It's a bit like music festivals. The older folk have likely been fans long before the young'uns started going. Time inevitably moves on and the industry changes (new bands, new comics etc.), but ( Dave ) us oldies can still enjoy the atmosphere and discover something new.

If anything it's great to see older folk at these events, as they're more likely to support older comic creators and game devs who may not hold the same appeal for the younger audience.

Dave's avatar

Yeah I might consider it next year. To be honest I think this merged event has wider appeal & my wife might enjoy it, whereas EGX classic being just games, she has no interest at all in. This appears to be more diverse & appeals to a wider audience.
