Our team had loads of fun at MAGFest this year showing off AVGN 8-bit! And looking back on the event, we wanted to share how we created the Angry Video Game Nerd set for our booth set!

First, we got measurements from the actual set! Then, we got to work gathering the materials we needed, followed by the painting, drilling, and all that stuff! We also had to go into Photoshop to digitally recreate every shelf of "games" on the booth design, supporting the printed games with floral cubes!

After testing the entire build at our warehouse, we were set for MAGFest! We unloaded everything, put the booth together, set up an NES in a cabinet underneath a CRT TV, and away we went!

Take an in-depth look into our process with this video--narrated by THE NERD himself!
