Video Games Live
So there was a free VGL concert on Saturday. I decided to go, even though everyone that said they would come with me decided to suck and ditch me at the last minute. Oh well. I was fairly pleased with VGL. Sure, it’s not the best; it’s too broad, and I’d rather have something more in the vein of Final Fantasy Concert or Gyakuten Meets Orchestra, but I’ll take what we can get here in North America.
Awesome
- Baba Yetu live.
- Hikari Orchestra Version live.
- Phoenix Wright making it to the top three in the costume contest.
- Metal Gear Solid and Sonic parts of the concert.
- Blindfolded Mario pianist from the Internet plays Mario blindfolded and other pieces.
Not awesome
- Harry Potter. It is not a video game. It does not belong here.
- Metroid and Zelda. Those games have more than one track. Try playing some of them.
- Costume contest. Guitar Hero characters are not real video game characters. Also, Cloud is not supposed to look like Reno. Try playing the goddamn games.
- One Winged Angel. I do not appreciate having to listen to Tommy Tallorico add his goddamn electric guitar and drown out the orchestra. Also, FF7 is not the only Final Fantasy game there is and not everyone is a fan of it, especially not One Winged Angel.
- Speaker quality was absolutely terrible. It’s an orchestral concert; I don’t care how loud it is, I want to be able to hear whatever the hell it is that’s being played. I can safely say that the terrible speakers ruined the Final Fantasy piano segment.
