I'd be offended if it wasn't true

Incidentally I'd recommend to anyone that's going to bring your DS or PSP along if you can, you'll be glad you did.

BlitzKrieg

damnit I might have to buy my replacement ds then...(my old ds phat got stolen last year and have been dragging my feet to buy one, though an incentive for a big geek out playing multiplayer is enough to get me to pick up one of those fancy ds lites...) My psp got stolen too but I have no incentive to replace it (admitable I used it only to play Metal Gear.)


can we try and turn a pub into the geekiest pub in dublin for one night...please. Everyone drinking and playing ds/psp

ProjectColossus

Just got 8 tickets for myself and a bunch of friends, cannot wait for this! Question, are people going to be wearing fancy clothes to this, or just your casual gear?

cherryghost

aack i keep forgetting to buy tix. theres 8 of us going too.

DePurpereWolf

I'm going too, have been waiting for ages, need to 'see' Civilization and Advent Rising live because it sounds amazing on youtube videos. I'm a fan of classical music as well so this is a shoe in. Coming all the way from Cork.

(and I am NOT a geek, I just look really smart)

Ghetto Cornetto

Oh. My. Freakin'. God.

Ross_Mahon

I think ill be going to this concert, I would like to see a video game DJ like Yuzo Koshiro...

Oh my god that clip was deadly , I actually got chills, not heard that track in years and it actually sounds really good as a club track. (The Streets of Rage intro)

About the concert, reckon theres still tickets going? Some of my mates are going. Pity they're not playing any jesper kyd.

Casual, it's not a formal event at all. I booked my tickets last weekend and there were loads left

Finally got around to buying a pair of tickets myself. There are loads left but as you can select which individual seats you want, most of the ones in the middle are gone.

I saw the Music of Sci-Fi last year, and sat in the middle on the Yellow Balcony, and it was perfect. Its got great sound regardless of where you sit tbh.

Still havent bought my tickets though

jonnybadd

Bloody hell, I leave the country for a year and VG:Live comes. Would give my eye teeth to go, was enthralled by the idea of Live Orchestral Game music since I got the Smash Bros Live CD free with a mag a few years ago

Varkov

Going to book my tickets tonight.

Never been to the concert hall before, so wondering about seats.
Im reading that the Yellow balcony has the best view, but the worst acustics, and that the main area has better sound, but the seats aren't staggered?

Anyone have a recomendation? I'm thinking maybe main stalls area, around row R (About 2/3 way back)

TBi

By god i'm so annoyed. Just found out today that this concert is on, for the first and maybe last time in Ireland, and i've planned to go abroad for 2 months in November and December.

I've been waiting for this to come back to the UK and now it's right on my doorstep and i won't be here.

Heartbreaking... and if that makes me a geek then i'm a bloody geek!

Bit of an amzing turn of events just happened to me recently,

I asked the girlfriend if she wold go with me. She agreed, and i said that if i didnt have anyone else to go with by the end of the month (August) she would have to come with me as most of my mates aren't really that into gaming, and then i would buy the tickets at the end of the month for the two of us.

I got impatient and decided to go and buy them anyway, cause i would be going either way. So i bought two tickets on the Yellow Balcony.
It turns out that she ended up going and buying me two tickets for my birthday in November too.

The thing is, by complete coincidence i ended up buying the seat directly beside her ones. So now, instead of trying to find one person to go with, i now have to try and find at least two friends to go with now. Oh well.

Well, I have my ticket set safely aside!

All we gotta do is wait...

Even though we all know it's not going to happen, it would be fúcking amazing if Steve Vai returned for the Halo theme. Oh well...

For those who haven't seen the Kingdom Hearts medley, I must warn you... manly tears will be shed.

My mum went to VGL with my brother in Glasgow last year and she loved it. In fact she drove him crazy for months after by playing the souvenir cd they bought on repeat. She especially liked the Christmas song on it (Advent Rising) :pac: Your wife might be pleasantly surprised!

Don't really know any good cheap hotels nearby, maybe try www.booking.com

Zeouterlimits

So what area did people buy their tickets in, and why?
I'm booking for a group of us, and none of us have had the pleasure of going to the NCH, so we're not entirely sure where to choose.
I was thinking either the S or Q row in the stalls, any advice would be appreciated.

Ghetto Cornetto

Guys, promise that you'll bring your DS's for a giant Pictochat session while we wait.

It's the only social setting we're ever gonna be able to get away with it in.

Got my ticket and am dragging the missus along (Actually, she does like some video game music, though I think we're both disappointed they don't seem to be playing any Jeremy Soule music such as the Elder Scrolls soundtracks).
