The Video Game Music Archive is now 12 years old! This past year, approximately 3,000 songs have been added to the archive, bringing the total song count over 27,000. Thanks to the community of sequencers and dedicated VGMusic staff members for helping to keep the site going. This coming year, we plan to finally put in a new site design. Our current design is apparently over 9 years old. More news on this initiative will be forthcoming.

It was recently brought to my attention that the webmaster of OCRemix has been emailing VGMusic.com's contributors, asking them for permission to mirror their files.
VGMusic.com does not have exclusive rights to the files it hosts. Contributors are free to submit their music to any other websites that they choose at their own accord, including OCRemix.

I'm abusing my staff powers to point out that Valve's Team Fortress 2 game is only $9.99 on the Steam network this weekend.
Clearly, I'm doing this for the good of the people, not because I'm trying to get more people to play.

We're a bit late off the mark this year. Child's Play started collecting donations on November 6th this year. They have already raised $475,000 to donate toys, games, books, and... well... money to sick children in hospitals around the world.
You should see Child's Play banners appear around the site later today.

We've made a slight modification to our upload form. You will notice that the "Sequenced By" field is gone entirely now. This is to enforce a rule change made some time ago that you could only submit files that you have created. This data is now copied directly from the "Your name" field instead.
The form has (finally) been updated to reflect this change, as have the scripts that create the new-files indexes.
Incidentally, at nearly 12 years of age, VGMusic.com is likely one of the oldest sites on the web that consists entirely of user-submitted content.
Edit:
There was a slight bug with some code that should have been removed some time ago. It should be fixed now.

MAGFest is a four-day gaming and music festival, back for its seventh iteration! Featuring video gaming at large, video game concerts and jam sessions, video game movies and cartoons, tournaments, vendors, and much more. Some video game special guests from both the fan and industry sectors will also be attending - I can confirm that Richard Jacques (best known for scoring the music for Sonic R and Sonic 3D Blast) and Howard Drossin (Sonic the Hedgehog 3) will be there, amongst other well-known names. The event is also popular within the sphere of video game music & arrangement communities, and serves as a great conglomeration point for meeting people around the scene.
The event will be taking place at the Hilton Mark Center, Alexandria, Virginia, starting on the first weekend of January 2009 (from the 1st-4th). The whole-weekend entry is $40 in advance on the website or $45 at the door (and group discounts are available). Rooms are $99/night in the convention hotel, and parking's only a dollar!
For more details and preregistration, visit the MAGFest website here.
