Fresh Fish Served Daily

Went to Video Games Live last Friday. Since I'm lazy, I will present my thoughts in list form:

Pros:
- The symphony was really good. Even though the show is national, they apparently use the local symphony whenever possible. Neat.
- Got to see the new Long Center. Very nice venue.
- More relaxed atmosphere, so I didn't have to dress up. Hooray for being able to wear shorts to a symphonic concert!

Cons:
- Kinda heavy on the mainstream games. I was sort of hoping for at least a couple of songs from cult classics, but it was mainly music from strategy, FPS, JRPGs, and the good old Nintendo standbys.
- Seriously, does every single video game concert have to have eleventy-billion selections from Final Fantasy? Isn't that what this thing was for?
- More relaxed atmosphere also means that people felt encouraged to yell stuff out during the show. Guys, it's still a symphonic concert.
- The drunk idiots behind me who kept kicking my chair. They also thought that the guy playing Guitar Hero on stage was completely awesome (when it wasn't a particularly hard song) but were making fun of the poor guy playing Space Invaders on stage (they had him wear a shirt with the ship on the back and then tracked his movements...don't you have any idea how crappy most of those tracking things can be?)
