Celebrating his third year doing online videos, Justin “JewWario” Carmical is an active producer for That Guy With The Glasses and Blistered Thumbs.
His original series ‘You Can Play This‘ deals with import video games that people can play in North America and the EU without the knowledge of the Japanese language.
His positive outlook on games is a welcome change from the ‘angry reviewer’ cliche.
Justin will be making a guest appearance at Con-G Season 4, February 25-26, 2012.

The Con-G hotel (the Holiday Inn) is already 50% sold out!
In response to this, we have added a second hotel for Con-G attendees. The secondary hotel is the Best Western Royal Brock Hotel & Conference Centre. You may remember it from Con-G Season 1 and 2; it’s down the street, about a 15-20 minute walk to/from Con-G. There should also be a bus you can take; however the City of Guelph is updating all of their bus routes in January. We will update this post once the new routes are in effect.
The special Con-G rate for the Best Western:
$93/night
single/double occupancy
Hot breakfast included
Mention Con-G for the special rate.
716 Gordon Street
Guelph, Ontario N1G 1Y6
(519) 836-1240
Note that no Con-G events are held at the Best Western; it is for accommodations only.
Visit the Hotel Info page for full details on both Con-G hotels.

Some examples:
They have just about every awesome game, so leave a comment and tell us what games you want to see at Con-G!
Game Asylum is the area’s only Mobile Video Game Theatre. We deliver the party! The Asylum is a 32 foot state of the art trailer towed by a sleek black Hummer. It’s ideal for Events and Special Occasions of all kinds. See, hear and FEEL the action! The Asylum features four intense gaming stations. Each station has a 55″ HDTV, theatre grade surround sound and base shakers embedded within each of the stadium seats. Play your favourite Xbox and Nintendo Wii games in head to head competition with up to 16 players all in the same game.
Seriously, their trailer is awesome and I wish it would come live at my house permanently.
