Could you briefly describe what you do?<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;m a YouTuber, primarily focused on first-person shooters.<\/p>\n<p>Most of my content is Call of Duty-focused, but in recent months I&#8217;ve transitioned the channel into something that&#8217;s more entertainment\/travel-focused.<\/p>\n<p>Starting with E3 this year I&#8217;ve began attending the the world&#8217;s gaming expos.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been to six or seven different ones in the last few months, and after rAge I&#8217;m heading to PAX Melbourne.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>How does rAge compare to the the other expos you&#8217;ve been to?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Out of the six or seven others I&#8217;ve been to, rAge is only second biggest to E3.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously that may not be true from a size or attendance perspective but there&#8217;s something about rAge being housed inside a big dome and the way it&#8217;s been laid out it just feels bigger.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Is there anything other expos do better than rAge?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speaking honestly, it&#8217;s almost exactly the same. It&#8217;s the same games being shown, the same type of people and the same environment (but in a good way).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Vise versa, is there anything that rAge does better than other expos?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Honestly, I haven&#8217;t spent enough time on the showfloor but most things seem pretty similar.<\/p>\n<p>What I will say is that everyone seems a lot more hospitable.<\/p>\n<p>Gamers (especially in the USA) seem to always be angry for one reasn or another, but rAge is definitely one of the more laid-back and fun expos I&#8217;ve been to so far.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sl4YXxH_E3Y\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More gaming news<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to Kaby Lake vs Skylake vs Broadwell \u2013 performance and specifications\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/hardware\/106967-kaby-lake-vs-skylake-vs-broadwell-performance-and-specifications.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">Kaby Lake vs Skylake vs Broadwell \u2013 performance and specifications<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to Awesome tech and gaming specials\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/106847-awesome-tech-and-gaming-specials-4.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">Awesome tech and gaming specials<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to There\u2019s one concerning reason why we\u2019re happy to only get VR next year\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/entertainment\/106391-theres-one-concerning-reason-why-were-happy-to-only-get-vr-next-year.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">There\u2019s one concerning reason why we\u2019re happy to only get VR next year<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is how rAge stacks up against international expos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":234,"featured_media":107225,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[31,17576,11421,22613,17306,22615,17520],"class_list":["post-107189","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","tag-active","tag-best","tag-expo","tag-ijaesin","tag-rage-2016","tag-south-afria","tag-top"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107189","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/234"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=107189"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107189\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":107227,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107189\/revisions\/107227"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/107225"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=107189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=107189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=107189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
