    What in the hell happened to Loomdun

    I've been around for longer than him I think, albeit as a lurker. I kept meaning to change my avatar when he started posting as a way to distance myself, but I am soul-crushingly lazy and he eventually kinda started to grow on me anyway.

    These things always work themselves out.

    Man it ain't nothing against you

    When you two started posting at the same time I thought you two were like art school buddies or something, sure

    But you are your own man

    That video is so terrible

    "And in this scene megaman walks around a bit."

    In all fairness...a Will of One video was going to be incredibly boring and terrible, no matter who did it. While the song is indeed my favorite, what is happening in that song is essentially just walking.

    Vengeance, however, would be a totally different story.

    So hey! They canceled a flight this morning which means both of the flights that could get me to Houston in time for my connection are oversold! Woooo

    My flight's oversold by 2 with like 5 standby passengers trying to get on, all of whom bump me because they're passengers from the canceled flight! FUCK YEAH.

    The good: There is another flight left that will let me make my connection!

    The bad: only three of those standbys got on, meaning there's still 12 people that bump me on a full flight.

    The ugly: The three people whose seats those three standbys got showed up late and got added to the standby list for the next flight! They, also, bump me.

    Bullshit. A video does not have to a literal visual of what is being said.

    All it takes is a little imagination.

    edit: oh man, you didn't get the plane ride?

    I sure didn't! The airlines heard that I was planning on having fun and decided that they couldn't have that shit, so they fucked with their schedule and made every single flight oversold.

    I'm free to get on AIM whenever but at 9PM I need to put the Protomen on and sob quietly in bed.

    That was absolutely fantastic. There were some issues with Panther's mike near the end of the show, but the first part of act two was literally the best live music I've ever heard, all of the sections came together beautifully and I did not quite realize how absolutely amazing Panther is as a vocalist.

    Great show, technical issues were easily overshadowed by the band's enthusiasm.

    Literal isn't always bad.

    The first one wasn't great, but it wasn't bad, either. Just kinda meh.

    But that same approach would just bomb miserably when the intensity of the music comes from what the character is feeling, rather than what they are doing. Hence, the more recent video is crap.
