Thanks guys. :)

Had the graduation ceremony yesterday. Man, it is a good feeling to get that done!

Panda's Mihoshi avatar makes me smile nostalgically.

Have a 5 day weekend. Mind you, I only took today off as a result of my car's battery dying, but it's still gonna be a 5-day weekend.
<Cidward> God willing, we'll all meet in Buttquest 2: The Quest for More Butts.

I love my air conditioning.

As is only right. AC is one of those sublime little gifts.

Just got back from watching RePlay: A Symphony of Heroes.

I thought it was amazing, and I enjoyed it tremendously, even more so than the Video Game Live concerts (though less so than the Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary: Symphony of the Goddesses). I'd highly recommend watching it if you get the chance.

I just had a few complaints, all kind of minor:
1) Didn't seem to have a lot of cosplayers (though given the humid heat, it's understandable). There were exactly four cosplayers - Sheik, Peach, Mario (not me), and the character from Journey. I wonder how (un)bearable the weather was for the Journey character...

2) No encore. Boo! Frankly, the Halo song at the end felt like it should have been an encore or played earlier. The symphony is set up as a hero's journey (with an accompanying narration, and visuals from Dear Esther during the narration), and it felt like the journey should have ended with Kingdom Hearts, where the music and video shows Sora and Kairi sitting watching a sunset. The Halo theme song, while pretty awesome...doesn't really feel like it should have been the last song UNLESS it was the encore. So that felt kind of weird (if, again, still awesome).

3) For some reason, the squaresoft series had no video game footage accompanying their segments. It was really odd. At first I thought that it was that they were sticking to 3D/modern footage...but then castlevania segment showed footage from Castlevania 1-3 at the start. Licensing issue? A little odd.

4) It was funnier than a complaint, but the flute lady showed up in the screen at one point, and just before she was taken off the screen she rolled her eyes. It was such a random thing!

For anyone curious, and that think they might have a chance to go based on their next tour spot, here's the program:

  • Narration 1: Introduction and Call to Adventure - Theme from Journey
  • Narration 2: Refusal of the Call - Suicide Mission from Mass Effect 2
  • Narration 3: Supernatural Aid - Supernatural Aid from Guild Wars 2
  • Narration 4: The Crossing of the First Treshhold - Suite from Bioshock/Bioshock 2
  • Narration 5: The Belly of the Whale - Them from Lair
  • Narration 6: The Road of Trials - Main Theme from God of War: Ascension
  • Narration 7: The Meeting With the Goddess - I Am The One from Dragon Age
  • Narration 8: Woman As Temptress - Portal 2 Variations
  • Intermission
  • Narration 9: Atonement With the Father - Theme from Metal Gear Solid IV
  • Narration 10: Apotheosis - Suite from Chrono Trigger/Chrono Cross
  • Narration 11: The Ultimate Boon - Liberi Fatali from Final Fantasy VII
  • Narration 12: Refusal of the Return - Suite from World of Warcraft
  • Narration 13: The Magic Flight - Suite from Castlevania
  • Narration 14: Rescue from Without - Theme from Shadow of the Colossus
  • Narration 15: Crossing the Return Treshold - Medley from Kingdom Hearts
  • Narration 16: Master of Two Worlds - Suite from Halo

Personal favorites - segments from Mass Effect, Chrono suite, Portal, Kingdom Hearts, and Castlevania (in that order).
Sister's favorites - segments from Kingdom Hearts, God of War, Chrono suite, Warcraft and Portal (in that order).
Cousin's favorites - segments from Halo, Dragon Age, Mass Effect 2, Final Fantasy, Lair, and Guild Wars (in that order).
<Cidward> God willing, we'll all meet in Buttquest 2: The Quest for More Butts.

Neat.  Not coming near me, but thanks for sharing Merc :)
Well, Goodbye.

I'm getting more hours at work. Yay.

It's a tiny bit of a mixed blessing but good overall.

I got the game that lets you play as everyone's favorite viral abomination, [Prototype]!
I'm going to need your signature for the metric ton of whoop-ass you're about to receive.

"A 'Cult'? Such disrespect for other people's beliefs."
"You enslave minds!"
"And I believe that's okay."

Kaldrak

Prototype is fun. You can jump kick a helicopter!

Finding relief and joy when you need it the most is awesome. Especially when you expected something else.
