Again? AGAIN?
You’re goddamn right.
Short for "Music And Gaming Festival," MAGFest is a four day-long event dedicated to the appreciation of video game music, gaming of all types, and the gaming community. The event runs 24 hours a day, and offers consoles, arcades, tabletop, LAN, live video game cover bands, chiptunes, vendors, guest speakers, and much much more.
The PH16 crew has returned to Super MAGfest once more, and we’ve got a pretty fun weekend planned!
Our very own @LitaGemini has a panel on Saturday at 2:30pm discussing Brands in the Twitter Era. Covering some of the fun accounts like Arby’s and Wendy’s and what makes them thrive. The panel can be found in MAGES Forum (ballroom Chesapeake G,H). She may also be doing this panel while in cosplay.
Much like last year, MAGfest newbies @elliface @chefbrent and @kevin_spicy are still ready to forego sleep for some great concerts, including the David Wise 5 show Thursday night with DJ Cutman and Mariachi Entertainment System.
@Chefbrent is super excited to meet the World Record holder for his Cuphead category (Jason 2980) before his run to kick off magFAST on Thursday. He's also hype to do some IRL streaming from the vendor area and arcade. He's also participating in a casual (aka comfy) group cosplay on Friday featuring characters from Sentinels of the Multiverse. Another panel to not miss is "Retro-Rare: Music and Graphics" with David Wise and Kevin Bayliss. You might know David Wise if you've ever heard the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack because he composed it. You can easily spot CheffyB as he'll be sporting a Cuphead & Mugman hat for most of the event.
Notably, much of the PH16 community is in attendance as well! @electrikdave @symphoenix @nicksmadscience @ga1c @ariatflames @carensir will all be around National Harbor this weekend. Want to keep up with the whole crew in ONE place? We’ve created a channel in our Discord that only MAGfest attendees can see.
