"MAGFest is a video and computer gaming festival run by fans, for fans. It's similar to most fan-based (anime, scifi, etc) conventions, but aims to be more of a laid-back video game party atmosphere. No crowded show floors here, but rather lots of fan art, film and music, and room to relax. Our special guests fit right in and socialize with the rest of the crowd. Game movies and cartoons are shown weekend-long. Lots of attendees set up games in their rooms and leave their door open to invite others inside.

Perhaps most importantly, MAGFest has a huge focus on game music -- multiple concerts worth -- filled with video game music tributes, some even with the original composers! On Friday and Saturday nights multiple bands perform on our main stage, and our 'JamSpace' is open 24 hours for collaborative music and special treats alike."

This event looks awesome and I'm definitely planning on going. You should definitely check it out.

A video game festival WITH NO GAMES TO PLAY? Some fucking festival.

Missed this bit.

Seriously. Rooms? Why not set up huge booths?

[Warchamp7]

There are, I didn't quote EVERY thing from the site.

There will be bands and composers there including Virt (If you know who that is) and even the Angry Video Game Nerd. As well, there will be a huge gaming section with stuff like Smash Brothers and Soul Caliber which runs for all 24 hours each day.

On top of that, there is a 24 hour LAN room where you can hook up your PC if you bring it and LAN it up.

Less than a month to go, bump

[LTmatt]

This is fucking stupid.

A video game convention with fanart and shit remixes, but no games? I can get roughly the same experience by going to Deviant Art and taking a hit off the bong.

And OP, get that "HURR HURR I WAS AN 05 USER SO U SHUD RESPEKT ME" crap out of your sig. Makes you look more retarded than you already are.

[Warchamp7]

Where the fuck is everyone getting the idea that theres no games at this? Like what the fuck are you all braindead or something?

Oh right, Newgrounds. My bad.

[Warchamp7]

I'll put this here for the idiots who are lazy to fucking click a link and read a bit

There is a Game Room that will be running for all 24 hours of every day of the convention

Oh whoop di do. I can sit in a room with two Xbox 360's systems linked hoping to play as one of the eight people playing. Or I could go do the same thing with the Ps3 you say? But what if I want to wait in a room to waggle around like a moron on the wii?

Fuck that. If I want to sit in a room playing a game I'll stay home and just play with strangers on Live rather than in person.
