 The GameStop Expo was held for a single day in Las Vegas this year, a chance for people to congregate, play new and upcoming games, and buy some things. It wasn't particularly huge, but offered a variety of games across multiple genres and platforms, with little wait time to play them. I got to try all sorts of games, and enjoyed most of them.
 Players: 1-2
Platforms: PC (via Steam), Microsoft Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Sony PlayStation 4 While I’ve enjoyed most of the Sonic games I’ve played, there’s no denying that the quality of the franchise has mostly been questionable at best since the Sega Genesis days.

 After a long wait, Nintendo finally brought back the Nintendo World Championship in 2015. Though we didn’t have luck last year, they decided to bring it back again for this year! In October, at New York, you’ll be able to compete with the best players at modern and classic games both.
 Escape Rooms have really taken off in the last few years. Several opened up near me in Northern California in 2012 and 2013 -- San Francisco has over half a dozen, Sacramento has three. I confess they did not appeal to me overly much, as they sounded like they would involve a lot of arguing and frustration depending on how competitive you and your friends are, or you, your friends, and the strangers you get paired with.
