I don’t usually hang around the hotel for long once the con’s over, I’m just not really a “hang around after the fact” kinda guy. I’m glad I ended up doing so this time, though. A cramped hotel room full[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
When you consider how many creative internet people were at MAGFest, variations of this conversation must have happened a LOT. I won’t say anything else about the specific incident that sparked this conversation, because I’m pretty sure I’ll have a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I exaggerate at least a little bit, but not THAT much. The idea of just doing a TGWTG meet and greet rather than a more rigidly organized panel/autograph session is a nice once since it’s more informal and relaxed… or[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Don’t get me wrong, getting to play around with so many vintage machines is always a great part of MAGFest. Still, the “vintage” part can get to be a problem sometimes. Donkey Kong’s a little less fun when the joystick’s[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Yes, yes, I know perfectly well that Rare Candy isn’t a chiptunes band. It’s just Scribbles who doesn’t. It’s true, though. I did spend myself into even greater poverty than usual because I like seeing these guys make money. Also,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
