D.C. Douglas Is Heading to the Raleigh Retro Gamers Game & Geek Expo!
North Carolina, are you ready to get retro? This June 7th and 8th, the Raleigh Convention Center will be bursting at the seams with pixel-powered magic as the Raleigh Retro Gamers Game & Geek Expo returns for a weekend of pure fandom euphoria. And this year, things are getting a little more villainous—in the best way possible—because D.C. Douglas is joining the guest lineup!
Known across the globe (and across dimensions) as the silky-voiced menace Albert Wesker in the Resident Evil franchise, D.C. is also beloved as Legion in Mass Effect, Kamoshida in Persona 5, and a dozen other roles that have helped shape video game history. Now, fans in Raleigh will get the rare chance to meet the man behind the voices—live and in person!
🎮 What’s the Game & Geek Expo All About?
Organized by Raleigh Retro Gamers, this two-day mega-event is a paradise for retro enthusiasts, gaming collectors, cosplay kings and queens, indie dev fans, and good old-fashioned geeks. With hundreds of vendor booths, free-to-play arcades, console tournaments, tabletop RPGs, and special panels, the Expo is a vibrant love letter to nerd culture of all stripes.
It’s a celebration of the past, the future, and all the fandoms in between. Whether you were raised on NES cartridges or you’re discovering Chrono Trigger for the first time, this event welcomes every level of gamer.

I’ll be there, ready to shake hands, sign gear, and maybe say something sinister into your phone. See you soon, Raleigh.
