Play Blackpool - who's going?

[deano76]

Jesse does seem to like old acrade stuff, i remember him finding an old crane game on one show

I'm sure on one episode of Storage Hunters Jessie bought a unit full of arcade cabs !

Some nice looking cabs there in the vids mind

 

[Urgentemente]

I resisted the urge to buy one of those mini-drone thingies, though it was very tempting.

How much were they Fuzzy? I saw them flying around yesterday and deliberately *didn't* look at the price so as not to tempt myself !

I think they were £40 reduced from £80. The optional HD camera attachment was £20 reduced from £40.

EDIT: whoops, my iPhone's made a right mess of that!Fuzzy2014-05-04 21:18:34

I also nearly bought one of them but resisted. Still the trade stalls had some mental prices... I still can't get over seeing the boxed snes zelda for £95

Its not even that much on ebay!

They are like that at every event pretty much, that's why I tend to avoid them and by cheap tat

Jesse loves video Arcade Machine that much that he didnt even spend 30 seconds to look at the 80 odd Brilliant Arcade Machines @ the Event put there by James & Andy !!

The guy aint a Gamer hes a Flipper and there to make $$$$s

Couple of pics I took just after entering the main area on Saturday,nothing specific, just general shots, and the panoramic one's a bit blurry unfortunately (low light etc on a camera phone..)

I wonder if that Jessie guy was over here by coincidence, or was his trip was funded by Replay ???... Someone said the photos with him were £5, no idea if that was true.

 

[uberpixel]

Showmasters paid for him to come over I'm guessing. They are the guys who run www.londonfilmandcomiccon.com

 

[bomjac]

Walter day when asked last year about coming to Play expo stated that he would be happy to come across if something could have been put in place for his transport and accomodation (as to a fee - I do not know).

 

[TonyElyod]

YES..The Photos where £5 a POP...
I think about 3 people got them..

He was in Preston a few days before at a wrestling Event and in Liverpool @ a Cup Cake shop...

Whatever floats ya boat I suppose...

PS..I got more pics taken of my "PONG T Shirt"......

......and I only charged £3

£5 to have your photo taken with someone?

Hmmm. He was a super-nice guy, but yeah I'd question his knowledge of the hobby. He said his best find was a Neo Geo 6 slot cab of all things.

As for paying for photos, I saw him pose for a few on the fly as people came up to him - wasn't aware he was also charging for them.

He was in the UK as part of a wider promotional tour I believe. His schedule was incredibly tight, so I'm not surprised he had no time to sample the cabs.

 

[TonyElyod]

I did manage to grab him whilst he was on the stage and have a quiet word in his ear...

He did oblige and introduced himself to RGP !!!..

To someone who doesn't watch any TV (i.e. me) could someone please explain who this Jesse person is and what he does?

Some crazy American on a "reality" TV show about buying storage lockups, selling whatever is in them on.

 

[cmonkey]

Ahhh, useless, waste of time, "reality" TV. I'm so glad I relinquished my TV license a few years ago before this proliferation of crap TV went into overdrive!
