Title: Pcenginefx TV - MAGFest Edition
Post by: jayamine on January 18, 2012, 03:52:33 PM
Not sure if any of you have heard of MAGFest, east coast game convention that's been around for about ten years. Aaron did a special edition of Turbo TV for us way back during year 1. I recently dug it up, converted it from VHS to DVD, and am in the process of posting it on youtube. I'll post a link when it's up. Just a little heads up.
P.S. I hear the guy who started MAGFest is a real jerk ;-)

I really wanted to attend MAGfest but it just wasn't in the books. :( Hopefully next year. I really want to support east coast gatherings because there seem to be so few of them.

One Duo this year...Cadash was running until I sugested Ninja Spirit. Later there was some Devil love being rocked. Console room could use some Turbofest action!

MAGFest 1 and 2 had tons of Turbo support, but the new managers aren't really Turbo people, hence the gradual shift. Glad to hear people on the WC have heard of it.

Is that you !? As the guest ? I'm a regular listener of the allgengamers podcast soon as i saw the tease i figure i'd better link it,since it's TG16 releated.

Yep :-D They were really nice guys. It was a lot of fun. Hoping they'll have me back again sometime so I can finish the Irvin Kershner stories.
And I'm incredibly worried I got too emotional talking about MAGFest and said stupid things, but guess we'll see.

Oh Bucci's on my FB friends. I'm supposed to look for a Vasteel sleeve for him. I didn't know he did a podcast too. Cool :-)
Your msg reminds me that I made a comment about the difference between MAGfest and PAX. I hope it doesn't get misconstrued as bad. Now I'm really worried. Ah well.

I made a comment about MAGFest being a fan convention and PAX being a trade show (difference being cash flow and corporate support). Why do I have a feeling I'm going to catch flak for that comment?

I guess isn't pax is for more modern gaming isn't it ? Beside it having sponsor etc while magfest is for the gamer fan of retro&modern right ?

Yes and no. The main difference is that you won't (for now) find blizzard and nintendo and microsoft setting up vendor booths at magfest. You'll find (much cooler) indie vendors like Fizz Man! Stil I really like what PAX does with Child's Play and I'm glad MAGFest works with them :-)
