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.
So if he wasn't Bob the Builder, then who was he?
Also, Gimli.
Holy shit, Blindside drank something? He refused to take a fucking sip of a god damn Rolling Rock at the NARP.
I FEEL CHEATED BLINDSIDE!
Also, I really wish I could have gone :(
Sounds like an epic time. Congrats. :-)
lol @ the backwards shocker
Also, I'm jealous. I wanna meet some of you guys too.
Cowboys are still better
Is there anything better than drunk nerds?
The answer is no, no there is not.
Damn, I wish we had this kinda stuff here in the UK :(
Dale North worship photo = epic.
Glad to have met you all Cow. It was good times.
Also, Screaming Red Face crushed me in Virtua Fighter 4.
Lastly, go Cowboys!
Awesome fucking time dudes.
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.
redskins? losing? what else is new. That's why I became a Giants fan. which would be ironic, except they're still in the playoffs this year. although I doubt they'll take out dallas. fucking sheli manning can eat a dick. They almost beat the pats...
also magical drop is the best puzzle game ever made.
He was from Team Fortress you know the what you ma calls em. I'm totally fucking blanking. See ths is why i thought he was bob the builder.
O fuck almost forgot.
*Throws a marshmallow at Cow's head*
Dude, you pulled off an index/ring/pinky shocker? That's an intense variation.
Blindside's beard is FUCKING EPIC.
man..i was drunk that entire weekend. also placed 6th or 7th in smash bros!! there was no official rank sheet that i know of..oh well, woot!
Who is that wearing what looks like a VT hat???
I was going to go but I suddenly couldn't at the last minute :'''''''''''(
Also nice to see that Magical Drop was indeed available despite some prior concerns
Oh thank god you posted here kaneka, I totally forgot what your s/n was. I was going kataka? no thats not it. kalaaatla? no defintly not...edit will come to include your awesomeness.
That's me with the VT hat Darkwood.
HeroGeisha!
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.
Apparently VWGTI thinks he's spiderman in that one picture.
@Blindside
You drank? Where the fuck was I?
Oh yeah, I was drunk. nvm.
Oh I get it, that last guy is supposed to be an Engineer. Honestly I thought he was Bob the Builder at first glance too.
Blindside and Linde should have a Beard-Off!
@ #17
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.
Cow, I of course challenge you to a rematch of cooking the happy talking squids.
Also I'm a "poossy", according to Knives. I don't like Crown Royal too much, come on!
Haha, this looks like it was a great time. Bob the Builder FTW.
Must be nice, living near Dtoid people...
@Rockvillian
Hey, I didn't like it either but that didn't stop me.
***eats marshmallows***
@Necros don't you live with a front page editor?
Looks like y'all had an epic good time.
I was there. Are you the guy that hit me in the face with a frisbee at opening ceremoinies??????????
Awesome.
