A bit disappointed that the live show had bits of the videos thrown in. Also, for some reason at the 40 or so minute mark the video refused to load any more, and it took me about an hour of trying to load it before I could resume watching (that may have been due to my computer though).
Susan Arendt: As awesome as the video is, it doesn't begin to do the energy of that room justice. Such an incredible night!
Agreed. Of all the great panels, incredible people, and awesome games that were present at the Expo, the concert was certainly the highlight for me. (I'm the doofus in the white baseball cap present in a few shots.)
Thank you, Susan, for all the hard work you did behind the scenes over the weekend. You more than deserved the chanting at the concert. I hope you've caught up on your sleep...
soren7550: A bit disappointed that the live show had bits of the videos thrown in.
Well it was either that or see the camera fumbling as I moved. Figured most would prefer the former.
Makes sense. Still, felt a bit duped. "All right, I can finally see the live concert! Wait, why is the video for the song playing? Are they just going to have the concert audio play over the video?"
Obviously that didn't happen, else I'd be very pissed. Luckily, that didn't, leaving all my pissed off-ness for the boyfriend who decided to barge in with his friends as I was getting my pj's on.
Damn, who paid money for a band that doesn't exist?
These guys did, at the eSCAPIST eXPO.

They Also forgot about the EA hate... and even if it was just for an hour or so.... that's awesome.
Oh yeah, none of the pansy people at the Expo know what a 'pit' is or should be. Double shame on anyone of you that thinks you have anything remotely close to something being hardcore.
Epic face palm fail wimp reaction action insert here.... file that away with shame. Fucking lame ass shame fills this moment in time. (Catchy songs tho, wish I was there)

So you were at the concert? Man, am I ever jealous.
Am I the only one who was excited to see the crowds and pick myself out of it?
The concert was fantastic, loved getting to not only see Gav play live, but talk to him and hang out with him and everything. I felt bad that the room didn't go dance crazy, but what else did you expect from a bunch of folks at a game convention? I play games cause I CAN'T dance...lol...energy and excitement of the room was amazing and I can't WAIT for next year...hopefully we have lots of fun new songs to sing along with Gav during it!
Sober Thal: Gav has given credit to other musicians in the past for playing in his tracks.... I'm just wishing they were present here for the now. Savvy?
As I said, baring a few specific cases Gavin is playing or synthesizing all the instruments and mixing them together. Baring one of those crazy one-man band get-ups, it'd be hard for him to play them all at once.

What gets you, or what you consider to be.... hard... isn't what I'm talking about. Crazy one-man band get-ups have nothing to do with what MoS does either. I could link you a creative artist if you'd like, but that isn't my point.
I just wanted to see something more than a karaoke. I didn't get that, so I felt the need to say so. Gav is still a talented guy. I still like what he does. I just thought he could have gotten more together for this live expo show, is all.
Susan Arendt: As awesome as the video is, it doesn't begin to do the energy of that room justice. Such an incredible night!
It didn't bother you that it was just an elaborate karaoke play?
Now the bosslady? You are much braver than I.
I don't get it. Why do you keep quoting me? Do you need something explained to you based on how I post in these forums? Is it not obvious yet?
*Don't call posters names
EDIT: It Sickens me that you twats raised fucking cell phones to the live singing that Gav preformed.
Shame on all you silly children. Grow he fuck up, and embrace fire. It's this thing that kinda can make you human, and all. Raising techno shit fucks the whole mood and the whole song. Not that Gav will call you out on it... just sayin doods./
I liked what I saw (the vid cut out for me about 30 minutes in)
I do think the performance would have been better if you guy could have just hired some session guys, to just play the music during the live performance.

So jealous right now! Only dance I can do (apart from caramelldansen) is waltz, so when y'all started I almost died.
VeryOddGamer: Yes. A tour of Northern Europe. Because no one cares about Southern Europe.
There's a Southern Europe? ...but all kidding aside, I'm willing to share. Hey, he could play one of those metal cruises like 70.000 Tons Of Metal, Wacken Cruise or Sabatan Cruise. Playing Zombie Holiday.

Not sure if serious.
Not everyone carries a lighter around you know? I found it extremely appropriate that in the age we live in and the fact that it was a concert with gaming songs that people used DSs, phones and other digital devices to simulate the effect.

Didn't look it up, but there's probably an app for that. 'd that be a compromise you could live with? :D

Anyway, still fun, gotta try to attend next year.
