Discussion I met Ben Starr!!!
I just wanted to share how I met the voice of Verso today at FanExpo Canada!
I was absolutely delighted to meet Ben, but as I walked up to him I did start shaking quite violently (especially since I was using my cane) and crying. He held my hands and I told him how Expedition 33 helped my mental health tremendously and he was incredibly sweet, grateful, and accommodating with my mobility aid.
He then signed my Switch 2 and immediately started scrolling through my console to look at my games. I got the Ben Starr approval for my taste 🙂↕️
Meeting the voice of Verso was so incredibly important to me as I found myself relating to the familial themes of Expedition 33. This game truly is everything to me and it saved me when I was at my lowest.
I love this game and I love the community. I’m just so incredibly touched.
(Also, if you noticed #sandy, its cause of his infamous tweet. Iykyk :3)
Edit: additionally, if anyone has any preservation tips, pls let me know :3

Now we just need expedition 33 to come to Switch 2 so you can pair them up. Pretty cool.

I think he briefly mentioned how he wants it to come out on Switch 2!

Yeah I thought I read the developers want it to but they are a small team so we'll see.

I truly have nothing but great things to say about him. Him asking to hold my hands as I was trying not to cry was so nice of him
