This weekend I went to a video gaming convention in the Washington, DC area called Music and Games convention (MAGfest), where they had not only lots of games, past and present to play, but also panels, live concerts, cosplayers, contests, and a good number of dealer tables. There were a few tables that sold graphic novels and TBPs, where I found a couple of TMNT Adventures TBPs, and even a stand that had a bunch of MOC figures, and I noticed one TMNT figure: Leo, the Sewer Samurai, which was ridiculously overpriced at $35. I did notice a Turtles in Time game, but at $35 loose, I passed. One of the panels was the Angry Video Game nerd, where he even made the Cowa-f**kinbunga comment. But I enjoyed the many vintage machines (there was a pinball machine that I beat that had a girl pose nude when I beat it). I even spoke to a voice actor for the first time in person at one panel, discussing about the difference between video game and animation acting. Sadly no hint of any discussion about TMNT games for the Nickelodeon era. Anyone else have similar experiences?
