Superthread XLIV - honouring Raider_69

[Flapper]

Couldn't be stuffed going back and quoting BM's stupidity but as a poker player who plays a lot, poker is gambling, so for the love of god BunniesMan shut the f**king f**k up about it already.

If America had the salt, sugar and fat tax I support their deficit and national debt would be over after 1 superbowl Sunday with all the junk they'll eat today.

I so want to get a live SuperBowl one day. It would be awesome.

Me too. Hopefully a winning Seattle one at that...

Dani our teams don't win Super Bowls, scientific fact

 

[Dani]

Shhhhhhh

I went and saw The Legend of Zelda - Symphony of the Goddesses at the Opera House over the weekend. It was f**king incredible. Here is an excerpt of an email I just sent to a colleague of mine including links to my favourite parts of the show:

Ahhh it was f**king amazing. It was basically a 4 Act symphony based on the key games and themes of the Zelda series. They had a video show and everything… it was so sweet. They condensed each of the games into an act, it went Overture – Main Zelda Theme + some adaptions of some favourite tunes + a medley of all the ocarina songs from Ocarina of Time, then onto Act I – Ocarina of Time (N64) in which they played a heap of themes from the game, Act II – The Windwaker (Gamecube- in which she actually conducted the symphony with a replica of the Windwaker baton, which was pure nerd fan service – but cool… then intermission. Act III was Twilight Princess (Wii) – which was probably my favourite of the movements… totes gave me chills, Act IV was A Link to the Past (SNES)… and then there were 3 or 4 encores of various other themes (my favourites being Majoras Mask (N64) and The Ballad of the Windfish (Links Awakening – Original Gameboy)). The Ballad of the Windfish was particularly awesome.

Go drink some Red Bull. I hear it will give you wings.

 

[dogslife]

Am I the only one that thinks it's strange there's a symphony based on a video game?

 

[Dani]

No...

Lay it on me, son (rofl...)

What's so strange about it? Video game music has been symphonic since noah had an ark, and video games are completely ingrained in modern culture.

You'd probably call me strange if I told you I was going to see COD the musical

Would I? News to me.

 

[perverse]

I hate you too...

... does it help that it was only a $15 cab ride to the Opera House?

I shall listen to some of this later for sure.

You won't regret it, mate. Was super impressed with the Opera House, too... it was my first time there, and the acoustics were just astounding (as you'd expect).

 

[dogslife]

Well, this Superbowl is shit...

Anyone who isn't a shitmerkin Steeler fan can probably find joy in it ;-)

Would I? News to me.

You should. And I wouldn't hold it against you
