This weekend, the world's biggest Chip Music festival descended upon Brooklyn with the fury of an untempered square wave - and Destructoid was there to witness all the pulse-pounding chaos and fun. Hanging and drinking with D-toiders from all over North America while rocking out to chiptunes was nothing short of amazing - From going to art museums with Brilliam and .tiff to filling entire subway cars with D-toiders and invading the streets of Manhattan and Brooklyn... I don't think anyone would disagree when I say that this was one hell of a weekend.

Dtoiders in Attendance: Cataract, Tino, Brilliam, Samit, Tiff, PetiePal, The Incredible Edible Egg, casualweaponry, RiserGlen, ScottyG, Nintendoll, Black Yoshi, Buster Slash, Anonymous Noob, Bahamut Zero, Superflossy, Powerglove, Infinite Obscurity, Pedro, Phist.... Holy shit, there were so many people I apologize if I forgot to list you!

Take a look below for some fond memories of the amazing time that was Blip Festival 2008! I'll be posting plenty of videos soon, so stay tuned!


Bubblyfish takes the stage and sets the dancefloor on fire. There's Brilliam in the red checkered shirt!


AsianJoe + Superflossy + Silly Hats!


No comment necessary.


Everyone rushed the stage during Stu's set!


HOW DO I BLIP FEST?!? - Dtoid NY regulars Powerglove, Nintendoll, Tino and Superflossy gettin' down on the dancefloor


Saturday night's headliner, all the way from Marseille, France - DUBMOOD!

That's all for now. Videos coming soon!

We'll start a super-awesome Jazz/Whateverthefuckyouplay band, and we'll be headlining The Garden in a week.

Twas quite the honor to be in the presence of such fine ladies and gents while enjoying the musical exploits of various chiptunes artists. Should there be another such event of monumentous proportions, I would be more than happy to attend.
