So, it’s that time of year. MAGFest is right around the corner, and I figured we wouldn’t be doing our jobs if we didn’t tell you what to expect at this year’s event. This years’ Music and Gaming Festival is set to take place on January 1-4, 2009 at the Hilton Mark Center in Alexandria, VA. Yeah, maybe a little far for those of us on the west coast, but I suck, and you’re not me, so you should go.

Why? Well, how about tons of games, music, and game music celebrities? Not only will our own Dale North be there, but some other people you may have heard of like Jake “virt” Kaufman, Tommy Tallarico, and George “The Fat Man” Sanger also plan to attend. Oh, and some guys calling themselves OverClocked ReMix should be there too.
