Be Excellent To Each Other

A few of you might remember me harping on about this last year - it's basically an orchestra who play music from video games, but it's so, so good.

Well, they're coming back to London on the 24th October. I'll certainly be going to see them again.

Tempted but FOURTY QUID?

Er, I don't think so. I got a seat on the front row for £25.

This would be something I'd love, but unfortunately the timing's all off. I'm coming down for an expensive trip to London in November for a wedding (as an aside, perhaps we could organise a little mini get-together on the Friday?)

Can't see why not.

So. Anyone else going?

Well, I'm going to have fun.

<pouts>

I think I am going to be there...and maybe interviewing one of the composers.

I'll email the person letting me go for free, and post again when I have confirmation. I may need someone to hold the camera too if you are up for it.

I'll be holding my camera for the performance, but I don't mind helping out - providing you're not going to be too late (baby sitter, you see).

Gaywood caused me to dig up a video.

Listen to it! It's fantastic!

Update: I have a pair of tickets, and my mate is coming, but we're going to the 4pm show. Which one are you at?

8pm. I could arrive early, perhaps?

Has anyone else noticed how eager Grim... is to meet BETEO types? Birthday parties, Nottingham meets, Shunt? Is he some sort of BeeX Sylar? Did anyone come back from Nottingham missing the top of their head?

Now you just quit worryin' yor purty little head.

TBH, if I sound eager it's because I've got to give the babysitter some idea of timings

No, but I lost my special ability of wearing anything other than a duvet.

Fucking. Ace.

I tried to write a message on my mobile during the intermission but Mrs. Grim... had to borrow it. They played the "Driving Lesson" song from Parappa the Rapper

Video uploads soon(ish).

Awesome.

If anyone else went, I was the guy that shouted "Punch those motherfuckers!" and made Tommy T. laugh

I love you man.

Sorry about the Bunker thing. Watc it anyway as I have no idea how it endneded

Wucvs.

Had some port, sir?

Yeah, I think I'll quote that one to make sure it's still around in the morning

Weva.

Halo 3??

If only it was Turrican 2 or Apydia i might be convinced to go (to the Lisbon date, mind).

Oh, they do all sorts of old games. I'm editing the video now.

Tah-Dah

Sorry we couldn't meet up Grim...

I ended up having the most scary/awesome night of my life.

Me and Adam (in the videos) ended up being befriended by the mafia, and having alcohol and drugs forced upon us. Then Adam got mouth raped.

Here are all my videos, although they have a stupid composer standing in the way

I think I speak for the group when I say this needs more explanation!

FTFY

I'll definitely explain it when I get back from LGF, and have readier internets.

As promised, here is the video clip of me shouting at Tommy and putting him off:

Haha. "He said 'Kill those people'"

Wicked. Top class response. Taht made me smile. That's twice i've smiled in one day.

And it's only 11am!

Yeah, "punch those motherfuckers" sounds about the same.

I guess there was no age limit on the door, but I bet he would have loved to have shouted what you said verbatim

Watching some of those videos it's clearly done by people who really love the games they are playing the music from. I especially liked the "fan Art FTW" message at the end of the One Winged Angel video.

Hey, we never heard what this was about.
