It's nice to finish off a nice, peaceful Victoria Day with an overwhelming wave of geekery like Video Games Live.
I have to admit, I found myself a bit disapointed with how repetative it's getting... maybe it's just because I'm biased and only want to hear the music of Metal Gear Solid or Legend of Zelda. I did find myself wishing that they would mix it up a bit.
However, despite that it was a pretty awesome show. The cosplay contest was really impressive (personal favorites included a wee boy dressed as Shinobi, a set of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers and the guy from Dead Rising with a Servebot hat). The did a Skype feed with the man who created Pong and I guess if the official creator of the video game. Martin Leung did his usual stuff, playing Mario blindfolded. We had a pretty spectacular encore with the music of Chrono Trigger AND Chrono Cross, which was pretty epic.
Ah, it's fun to geek out for 3 straight hours...
However, I'm now left to deal with my good friend insomnia. My over-active brain probably won't shut off for a few hours now, regardless of how tired the rest of me is. Maybe I'll try some meditation and see how that goes?
