This past weekend the
Music and Gaming Festival took place and low where gaming is so be Destructoidians. In fact we had gay orgy room all together...errr strike the gay orgy part. Thats right Blindside, Cowzilla3, Knives and Hartoa...haroa...Hartoar...the guy with the red screaming face avatar, you know him, all shared a room with special guest apperances from VWGTI, kaneka and everyone's favorite Advent calendar creator Rockvillian. Of course the highlight of the weekend was bowing before our God Dale North.
The bands were awesome and the games were played. It all went very well, especially with the copious amounts of alchohol we drank. Instead of doing an in depth recap which will get me fired for taking to long to write all this I'm just going to tell you all the top 20 things I learned over the weekend and the show you some photos.
1. Dale North is like Ron Burgundy; kind of a big deal.
2. I rock at crazy PS2 Japanese mini-games involving drums with faces on them and animals in odd clothing.
3. Have you ever got in the elevator and all the buttons have been pressed and you said "Who the Fuck would do this?" It was Blindside.
4. Game music is even more fucking epic then you ever thought.
5. Especially
Select Start.
6. REZ not only turns you on via sexy vibration time but also via sexy gameplay time.
7. Blindside "has no idea how he got in the bed."
8. Knives is a marshmellow throwing douche.
9. When people from Destructoid get together they spend as much time drinking and talking about games as they do actually playing games.
10. At 4:30 a.m. McDonald's is serving breakfast not burgers.
11. Never take your shirt off if Blindside has a camera.
12. Knives is from Tiajuana and can also drink an entire bottle of Vodka before passing out on the floor.
13. A gaming convention can have a suprising amount of football fans at it.
14. When you offer to "fluff" the Screw Attack guys "pillow" they'll let you jump on top of their friend Jose as he's trying to go to sleep.
15. The ending to the Simpson's arcade game and Time Crisis are not really worth your time. The ending to QBert is still undiscovered.
16. Screaming Red Face is a Magical Drop beast.
17. Hotel bars are not cheap.
18. Despite most gamers being awesome, some are just competitive dick heads.
19. The Advantage are not as good at Rock Band as they are at playing actual music.
20. Hito...Red Face Screamer and I are now mortal enemies as he tried to kill me with his thoughts.
Now pictures with subtitles like the titles to Friends episodes:
The one where people rocked out
The one where Blindside had a drink
The one where Blindside really didn't like his drink
The one where we all threw up our gang signs. I am evidentlly from the Shocker Gang.
The one where I thought this guy was dressed up like Bob the Builder until everyone looked at me like an idiot
Well there are plenty more but I got to get back to work. Really, if you aren't into the videogame music remixing scene (like I wasn't) you really should be becasue tehse bands are doing some amazing stuff. Otherwise get ready to come to MAGFEst next year so we can all drink like mad men and play vidoegames yet again. Except next year I won't have the heart break of the fucking Redskins losing in the playoffs.
Also, Gimli.
I FEEL CHEATED BLINDSIDE!
Also, I'm jealous. I wanna meet some of you guys too.
Cowboys are still better
The answer is no, no there is not.
Also, Screaming Red Face crushed me in Virtua Fighter 4.
Lastly, go Cowboys!
I have no idea how you got to Hartoar from Hitogoroshi.
Nothing is truer than Number 16.
Oh.....Twilight Princess is overrated and I wish you were dead.
also magical drop is the best puzzle game ever made.
*Throws a marshmallow at Cow's head*
I was going to go but I suddenly couldn't at the last minute :'''''''''''(
And I drank at NARParty...I had a Rolling rock (nasty) and some wierd jello shot thingy....and a tiny bit of jaeger and red bull.
You drank? Where the fuck was I?
Oh yeah, I was drunk. nvm.
That's why you buy at a liquor store and bring it in the hotel.
Only 50 year old skeeves looking for businessman to screw hang out in hotel bars.
BTW - if you guys were looking for 50 year old skeeves, please disregard the above comment.
Also I'm a "poossy", according to Knives. I don't like Crown Royal too much, come on!
Hey, I didn't like it either but that didn't stop me.
