Expedition Log #11 - Michigan Retro Game Expo

What happens when the host of The Retro Wildlands gets the chance to step out from behind the microphone and become a real part of the retro-gaming community? In this special episode, I take you along for my adventure at the first-ever Michigan Retro Game Expo, where I was invited as a featured guest. Using entries from my Expedition Journal, I'll talk about my experience, the people I met, the panels I took part in, and the moments that made this weekend one I’ll never forget.
