Hello once again, you guys.
Sorry for kind of disappearing after that last hiatus post. Life stuff is still getting in the way but I’ll try to still write for my blog when I’m able to.
Anyway, I attended this year’s MAGFest conference (the ninth one I’ve attended I think?).
On day 1 of the conference, I picked up my badge, and then got a wristband, the latter of which I thought was a pointless addition. Isn’t wearing the badge enough validation that you paid for a pass?
Didn’t go on day 2 because I wanted to stay home and spend time with my family that day.
On day 3 of the conference, in addition to playing in the arcade and roaming around the marketplace I attended attendee run tournaments of the N64 games The New Tetris and Goldeneye. I contemplated going to the The Runaway Guys’ Thrown Controllers panel but it was far too crowded for my liking. But I did spend some time at TASbot’s game archival panel.
On the final day of the conference, I went to the PC LAN room and played a bit of CS:GO online via my own Steam account.
Though I found the conference to be more of the same compared to previous MAGFests, I still had a decent time regardless. I’m also planning to go to this year’s Super Smash Con conference.
See ya later.
