Oh, hi there. My name's Zen.
I make stuff using pixels, Game Boys and ancient spirit magick. I like to write about videogames, art, airships, bleeps, bloops and other swell things. I think we're going to get along just fine.

MAGFest (Music & Games Festival) is fast-approaching, and the internet is making sure to properly herald its coming by releasing this informative video which showcases just how awesome MAGFest is. I can say from personal experience that MAGFest is hands-down the most nerdy fun you will ever have outside of PAX. How do I love thee, MAGFest? Let me list the ways:
CONCERTS Tons of bands like The Advantage, Minibosses and Smash Bros will rock your socks off with an onslaught of video game covers and original music.
JAMSPACE Do you play an instrument? Wanna meet fellow musicians and jam out with them? Wanna just chill out and listen to some free jam sessions? You belong in the JamSpace, an open performance space where anyone can walk in and rock out - Exclusive to MAGFest.
GAMES A gigantic Game Room, open 24 hours all weekend and filled to the brim with nearly every single console or game you'd ever want to play.
COMMUNITY The best reason of all! Not only is Destructoid representing at MAGFest, but you'll find yourself surrounded by a whole mess of awesome, internet-famous people from OCRemix, VGMix, PBC Productions, X-Strike Studios and more! Want to hang out with Virt, the guy who wrote the music for Contra 4? You can here!
Start making your New Years plans, kids! Hit up www.magfest.org for more info.

When I first read the title, all I thought was, MASSIVE ACTION GAME FEST!, but sadly, it is just the music and games fest.

Cool guy, nice blog, FUN TIME!
I can actually see it being more fun than PAX if it had the same amount of community members, we could actually play games with each other :O.
I'm still not sure about it :/, currency exchange went from 10.40 pesos for 1 dollar( from when I went to PAX) to somewhere between 13-14 pesos right now so yeah, it would be really expensive :(
Hey gotta love how my computer totally lost that entire comment for no reason.
Anyways, that video is retarded but MAGFest will be great. I shall be there and hopefully vomiting in sinks again.
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
