Video Games Live

Video Games Live ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Games_Live ) came to my city and I went to their concert yesterday. :yayds:

It's something really silly if you think about it, an orchestra playing video game music.. eh? It's not a band playing their greatest songs, not a famous singer, it's just.. video game music.. you could just play the games to hear them.. well, that's what I thought.. but every person I know that went to the show in previous years told that the thing was good so I decided to see what the fuzz was all about.

I discovered that there's something really mystical and special about video game music, I can't explain it.. but for the whole time I kept smiling and feeling happy with the thing, maybe it's the nostalgia factor, remember about the games, maybe it's the fact that I was surrounded by hundreds of people like me.. I don't know why, but watching an orchestra perform the song from Green Hill Zone is something very special, I'm glad I was there :D

And I'm happy to see how big gaming culture is becoming, would never expect to see something like that 10 years ago. I wonder if when movies started they had this kind of thing :P

Ah, it's been a little dream of mine to attend one of their concerts, but I always seem to be too busy when they pass through here. Someday... :ha:

Good to hear you enjoyed yourself! Any vids or pics from the event? ^_^

I only have a camera in my cellphone, and it sucks, so I don't even try :/

BUT, I could already find a bunch of the videos from last night's the presentation on Youtube already!

I think the guy who was sitting next to me recorded that.. he kept a camera recording during the whole thing and it's the same angle.. :P
