Let's Read Panel from RetroWorld Expo (Patreon)

Electronic Gaming Monthly #36 - July 1992 | Live with MLiG at RetroWorld Expo 2019

Episode 62 - I was honored to be invited to RetroWorld Expo 2019 last month in Hartford, CT. Coury from My Life in Gaming was there as well, and as we're good friends we thought it would be cool to do a panel together. Coury came up with the idea of us doing a live version of my "Let's Read" series, so here we go! We knew that we wanted to pick an issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly, as it's the most popular multi-platform magazine from the 90's. We went through our respective collections together and came up with this issue. 1992 was really a special time in video gaming, and this issue covers some of the heavy-hitters from that time, including Street Fighter II, Contra III: The Alien Wars, Axelay, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time on the Super Nintendo, as well as Street Fighter II' - Champion Edition in the arcades and the upcoming launch of the Sega CD add-on for the Genesis. Show Notes: - The camera stand that I normally use to record the magazine read-throughs is far too bulky and heavy to drag across the country, so I fabricated a new collapsible one out of PVC pipe. This way I could pack it in my luggage. It turned out really nicely though, so I may start using it here at home as well. - The audio in this video was recorded straight from the mixing board of the exhibit hall's PA system. I tried my best to clean it up and get it sounding decent, but I am not at all used to using a handheld mic, so there are some bad plosives as well as times when I wasn't talking directly into the capsule. - The "face cam" is just my GoPro. GoPro cameras are cool and everything, but they are really not meant for the kind of low-light shooting that I was doing here. That being said, it is a "set it and forget it" Show Time Rotisserie Grill kind of camera. I didn't want to be setting up a DSLR and having it decide to shut off halfway through the presentation.
