Great convention top to bottom! There was always something going on to participate in. We need to do online stuff like this more often. It's easy to do smaller groups of Zoom hangouts and playing together.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but that Con was perfect. I’ve been to 95% of the Galacticons and if the goal was to simulate a live GCON, Sam Fain, Mike M and Tournament Master nailed it. There was literally nothing we couldn’t do we normally do at a live Con. Sure, getting together in person for drinks is fun but if that’s all we missed out on I’d say it was a huge success. I got to take breaks in my own kitchen, slept in my own bed, and didn’t have to drive 18 hours round trip. Win/win/win. We got to see a ton of people who may not have otherwise been able to attend. I thought we did a lot more things too. Time wasn’t bearing down on us to finish anything. It was awesome. I would do that again in a heart beat and hope we do! Pay per views, new releases, I’m in. 5 star weekend great seeing old friends and meeting new ones!! A big congrats to my older little bro @kevinb on his Cup win. You earned it bro!

I really thought it went very well, I also would like to see an online con or online event going forward.

Well said, 100% agree with this. I was more comfortable getting up and moving around. I don't drink, so that's no loss! I enjoyed listening to everyone, especially TOM and Mr. Banks was a highlight! Putting some faces with names, it was a good thing! Totally will do it as often as they want to! Thanks for the weekend! 👏❤️👍

Fantastic effort by Todd and Mike in organizing the whole event. It was fantastic!
Thanks to Sam for moderating, you did a great job.
Special shout out to Leslie for the run-in with the brownies!
Thanks to Troy, TK, Sam, and everyone else who ran tournament rooms. You kept things moving along well.
It was great to see old friends and meet a lot of new folks! Can't wait for next year. I agree another virtual event at sometime would be a great idea.

It was a great experience for a guy like me. Having a newborn and being technologically challenged had me nervous on Friday but it was a snap. Enjoyed the Q&As, thought Sam did a great job as a mod, and the people who ran rooms made gameplay flow great. Got to meet and talk to a lot of like minded people who love our crazy games. I could’ve talked to Swarm all night about Madden. Great time!

It was interesting running the tournament rooms, and I hope I did a decent job keeping things going. I would do it again, and even though I didnt talk all that much it was still awesome to see everybody and put faces to names.

Maybe you were asleep like Zeke? 😂
