MAGFest Documentary Sets Stage For Next Installment

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to information on a freely downloadable documentary about the MAGFest 2.0 videogame festival, which "took place... on October 31st to November 2nd of the year 2003... in Williamsburg, Virginia", and includes interviews with videogame remixers, fighting game champions, and footage from "an outstanding Minibosses set." The 155mb DivX is available via BitTorrent [direct link], and is produced by X-Strike Studios - it will be included as a bonus on their forthcoming unofficial River City Rumble DVD, described by a delighted previewer as "the Citizen Kane of films based on martial-arts video games." The documentary also servers as a trailer for this year's MAGFest, to be held "Friday through Sunday, the 1st through the 3rd of October... [also] in Williamsburg, VA."

Too bad Jake Kaufman (virt) is involved

[IshanCaspian]

It really looks like a rather fun, albeit mega-geeky time, but my experiences with Jake Kaufman (aka Virt) have made me wary of ANYTHING he's involved with in any kind of administrative capacity. I'm not trying to troll, seriously...I'm just saying, if you're considering going to this thing, ask around and hear some of the horror stories going around about this guy. If you go to magfest looking to indulge yourself in a geeky good time, don't be surprised if you have a run-in with Virt's ego instead.
