Dj CUTMAN’s MAGFest 9 Roundup!

MAGFest 9 was insane. It’s hard to put into words. I spent at least ten hours a day at my booth, only made it to one panel, and caught about one song from every band. Could I have had more fun? Probably. Did I have a ton of fun? You bet. Why was it so fun to hang out at a booth, you ask? Well perhaps I can answer that with a YOUTUBE VIDEO >B]

I met a ton of totally awesome people, from beat producer Emrls and DJ AGGRESSION (featured in the video above,) to throwing down at the SECRET RAVE with DJ SyNCeRe and the Chip-Hop pioneer A_Rival. We threw down HARD at 3:00AM on Saturday night at the SECRET RAVE. Special Guest OCREMIX’s BeatDrop came through for a total of FIVE DJs throwing down all at once. The energy was great, the crowd was awesome and the party was NUTS. Here’s some proof:

I couldn’t help myself but get do a little credit animation there at the end.

BUT NO MAGFest9 POST COULD BE COMPLETE without mentioning Emrls’ PROTOMAN BANGER and the chaos that ensued. Hear the beat:

That’s right, I’m talking about the ELEVATOR PARTIES. The most chaotic chaos one could ever expect, checking into a hotel and trying to make it to their room, this compalation video is blowing up on youtube with a bunch of hilarious and venomous comments on youtube. Missed out? Maybe you’re better off. All I have to say is Don’t Hate! If you don’t like elevators / parties then TAKE THE STAIRS. We all drank like fifty BAWLZ anyway, probably could use burning off all that caffeine!

I hope this has convinced you to GET TO MAFEST next year. It’s the funnest time a nerd can have. and shit man, I didn’t even talk about all the VIDEO GAMES.

This is the longest blog post I’ve ever written. And it’s for a damn deserving group of the most hardworking nerds I’ve ever known. Thank you MAGFest.

Mixer Productions

It’s about time I featured MIXER PRODUCTIONS. Based in the UK, MIXERPROD is a mash-up artist that I’ve been spinning for a few months now. This guy’s Soundcloud is like a library of shit I love, well produced mashups of pop, hip hop and r&b with video game and pop-culture instrumental tracks. Like Tae K, MixerProd represents hard and delivers a ton of songs. Here’s a few choice tracks:

Craig David vs Streets of Rage – 7 Days of Rage by MixerProductions

Will Smith vs Streets of Rage – The Last Men In Black by MixerProductions

Michael Jackson vs Sonic – Dark Fortress Rock by MixerProductions

PROTO ATTACK! A Website About Playing Games

I recently heard from Mike E., author of the website ProtoAttack.com, who’s headline instantly caught my attention “A Website About Playing Games, Not Reviewing Them”

In a Internet saturated by 70% Porn, 25% Nerds reviewing videogames and 5% people crying on YouTube, this was a welcome breath of fresh air. Their top post today, How Nintendo’s Harsh Rules Saved The Industry is very interesting, and worth a read. Nice to see some people breaking the mold in the supersatured blog-o-sphere.

Duke Nukem Again?

Art by Olly Moss

Like many of us, I have fond memories of handing strippers a folded piece of cash and hearing, “Shake it baby!”

Also, like many of us, I played Duke Nukem. When I heard that Duke Nukem Forever was being canceled I wasn’t disappointed. It was the outcome I had expected. I’m sure most people would have been more surprised if it had come out. Well prepare to have your hopes dashed one more time because a new rumor is making the rounds that the guys behind 2009’s FP-RPS (First Person Role-Playing Shooter) Borderlands, Gearbox Studios, are picking up where 3D Realms left off. This isn’t the craziest rumor I’ve heard though.

Take-Two still has the rights to the Duke Nukem franchise and Gearbox was supposed to be making a spin-off Duke Begins earlier in the year. Gearbox’s president Randy Pitchford neither confirmed nor denied this, but implied that he will be able to clarify at PAX Prime 2010 in a couple weeks.
