Reflections of MAGFest 2007

[curt_grymala]

Well, I finally have had time to go through and organize all of the pictures I took at MAGFest 2007, and I am ready to write some reflections .

First of all, the pictures can be found here. I have divided the pictures up into 4 different categories. Those categories include: DreamCon 2007, CosPlay Images, Vendors and Fun and Games (the various other pictures that didn't fit into the other three categories).

Now, onto my reflections of the festival:


First of all, my family, my friend and I all had an absolute blast. The festival was great fun. There were games from just about every system you can think of, including some very interesting arcade cabinets. There were also some very old consoles, including an original Intellivision, with three different games to play.
.

I only took time out of the game room to watch one of the bands perform. I overheard one of the other bands, but I'm not sure which one they were. However, whoever they were, they did a great cover of the Zelda theme song.


The band I did check out was called "This Place Is Haunted". They were very cool. Their live performance was extremely heavy. Their claim to fame is a full rendition of the entire original Castlevania soundtrack. While I was checking them out, I picked up a t-shirt, a sticker and a CD for them. The shirt is cool, as it features their name in the "Castlevania" logo. The CD is decent, but, as usual, doesn't compare to their live performance.

So what is this festival for?

It's just meant for people to have a good time, playing video games, listening to video-game related music, watching video-game related movies, and much more.

That's all it is is simply a 4-day video game extravaganza.
