So MAGFest 13 was awesome. Not that it needed to be said because MAGFest is always awesome.
It has been really cool seeing this festival grow so much. I wish I could have been there from the very beginning, however my first MAGFest was MAG9 and I promised myself I wouldn’t miss one after that. That year it was at roughly 3,000 attendees, this year 17,000… craziness.
I somehow also found time for gaming and spent it at the Indie Game Showcase and playing some classics like Bad Dudes 2-player with the wifeypon™. Some notable indie games we played were: Pixel Noir, Vidar, Vagante, and Guns of Icarus Online.
The single best moment of MAGFest had to have been being up front for the transition between The Protomen and Danimal Cannon. All of the performers were on stage and then the crowd was split for Danimal and Kilroy to go all the way across the Potomac Ballroom to the other stage for Danimal’s set to begin. It was totally rad to follow that!
All in all, this elongated weekend consisting of fun times and very little sleep will probably be the highlight of my 2015. Loved seeing so many friendly faces and getting to hang out with my RPGFan.com crowd & the amazing Mediatron Staff!
Here are some pictures from the 11th Annual Music And Gaming Festival, four days of non-stop games and concerts at Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center! Despite being totally sick, I had a fantastic time with some awesome folks seeing lots of live music, panels, cosplayers, etc. I also shot a couple of interviews for RPGFan.com so be on the lookout for those on their YouTube Channel. One is with Kan Gao, the Director & Composer at Free Bird Games, and the other is with none other than Yuzo Koshiro!

Here is the video interview with Kan Gao!

And here is the video interview with Yuzo Koshiro!
To put it simply, MAGfest is an awesome festival that celebrates music and games for 4 days straight. I have to admit, this year’s event was one of the greatest weekends I’ve ever experienced. MAGfest took place in a MUCH larger venue this year, the Gaylord Convention Center in National Harbour, MD. I was able to see Alexandria and DC from our 9th floor window, and spend the whole weekend getting my face rocked off by great bands! Watch the videos below for some MAGFest X highlights, as well as the video interview I did (for RPGFan.com) with Nobuo Uematsu and his band Earthbound Papas.
