Why would I bother?\u2019 Well, firstly, I commend your audacity. Secondly, here\u2019s why you should give a damn about gaming conventions like EGX, and why they\u2019re truly good for the soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. It\u2019s good to be bounced around in the Brownian motion of society<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/egx-insert-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23074\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We could do all our shopping on the internet. We could go to school at home. We could do our jobs in our pyjamas, and often we might need to do those things for our sanity or health. But it really is generally good to be out and about amongst others at least when you can. Conventions like EGX are an ideal place to just get out for a bit, meet some people, or don\u2019t. It\u2019s up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Everyone\u2019s there for one reason<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/egx-insert-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23075\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversations are easier at conventions like EGX, because everyone\u2019s there for one reason. Saw a game you like? Excited about something? Well, so are they. Everyone\u2019s got a story or a thing they want to talk about, and so instead of spending time on small talk, you can go straight to Big Talk about things you love and things you are excited for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Video Games are great<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/egx-insert-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23076\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s not underestimate this: video games are absolutely fantastic. Getting to go to a place and play and see games that aren\u2019t out yet, or even ones that are old and being played on retro systems is just brilliant. You love games, the convention organisers love games, everyone there loves games.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. People don\u2019t fit into one mould<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/egx-insert-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23077\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve seen the stereotypes. Gamers are male shut-ins wearing 1999-era Matrix leather coats. But, go to a gaming convention like EGX, and you\u2019ll see just how stupid and out of date that stereotype is. Gamers come in all shapes, sizes, genders, and ages. Yes of course there\u2019ll be a few nascent Neos walking around, but that\u2019s just one type of gamer, you\u2019ll see so many that you\u2019ll realise \u2018gamer\u2019 is a tag that just applies to what you do, not who you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. It\u2019s a respite from negativity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/egx-insert-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23078\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The world\u2019s a lot sometimes. Disasters, both natural and manmade ravage the world, political unrest is tearing countries and communities asunder, and frankly things are just a bit rubbish most of the time. But at a gaming convention, that stops at the door. Everyone is there to just see something new, see something they love, and it\u2019s genuinely refreshing to soak up that atmosphere.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gaming conventions like Gamescom, EGX, Rezzed, or PAX can be expensive, tiring, and busy. But they\u2019re also good for the soul, they\u2019re energising, they recharge your love of gaming and can give you a new outlook on those who game alongside you.<br>What\u2019s your favourite convention, or are you still just not interested in them?
