Does MGC have arcade and pinball? Or is it mostly console? Would it be worth going if I'm not big into console gaming? I may have a chance to go this year.

Yes has it all, arcade video games had gone down alot. However, last time I was there the local arcade brought in maybe 25 video games himself. Probably doubled the total.

Maybe an @mecha sighting (are you working there this year).

console museum, not with The Garcade (though I'm sure I'll be there)

I kind of reached the peak of my patience with arcade things in every facet of my life and need to find other new people. lol

I hear legends that @Phetishboy goes but I've never seen him

Yeah, I started going about 12 years ago. I stopped going in '21. I liked it at the Brookfield Sheraton so much better. It was more ghetto and spread out, but it seemed more fun. We also brought games every year. Once it moved to downtown Milwaukee, we brought nothing. I realized more than 50% of the fun for me was bringing games and some of my custom creations and watching people play them. I even sold a game, traded some games and bought a few games while I was there. Now I feel like I'm just a spectator on the sidelines at a pinball-themed comicon.

yeah it became the Wisconsin Pinball Classic.
 
Thanks everyone for your input. Made the decision easier to pass. Pinball Expo used to be great and now it's just a Stern advertisement. Vendors used to sell old parts and stuff and now it's all mods for pins. I'll never understand buying a pin just to put toys and toppers on it. No offense to any pin guys, but that's dumb. /end rant.
