Quotes (from this video)
- And honestly, I'm not really sure I'm going to be focusing too much on any one specific game. I guess as I see them.
- My one of my sons loves Armymen. He is. I'm going to have to get a photo later before the day is over because he is going to want to see me near army gear.
- The crew is actually fantastic. I met them the other night at the um the the the demo the media demo tonight.
- Memorial 44 to me is luck as to where you can actually go followed by luck as to what you roll. I can deal with one of those two looks both together and I just feel like I don't have the agency I want.
- Terraria new expansion coming soon. That's the first time I'm hearing of that.
- This which looks fantastic. I have not seen this properly set up. Bridge or bust. Uh this feels like an insane system. It's based on like it's got to be based on like those video games. I don't know. This feels This feels crazy. Toy factor high gameplay possibly not as much my jam.
- This has been a light UK Games Expo tour. Next year I hope to do better.
- Long story short, uh Friday I slept in because of the plane and catching up on sleep. And then Sunday the trains were down. So um between the two I got you I got you uh late on the coverage.
- This is more intended as like, hey, if you haven't been to UK Games Expo, you want to get a sense of the similarities or differences to other conventions. Hopefully, this gave you a light touring of showing.
