Today's outting is VERY different than those I've had ever. I found myself in a kiddy pub, surrounded by geeky virgins (actually pretty hard to predict that one, kids nowadays) and towards the end, deafened by awful, awful
'music'. I'd say it's quite a priceless experience for once, I paid attention to gamers
'rawkin' on their consoles '
jammin' to
Guitar Heroes II tunes like I would American Idol. Haha... pretty entertaining especially the end bit where a guy got his ass kicked by a female 'guitarist' doning a befitting Metallica t-shirt. Its her lucky charm maybe?
Second part of the show was a
'band competition' where their music is supposedly inspired by video games. Its pretty enlightening to listen to their perception of
'music'. Sounded very alien to my ears mostly when they kinda spelt out some kind of secret decodable messages that got the crowd cheering like they understood whatever... you know what I mean? No? Exactly!!
Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against geeks/gamers/whatnots. I belief I am one myself. But if it weren't for the familiar faces in the office I see there, I would feel goddamn out of place. Its like painting your wall brown and purple. Some may not see a problem with that but the artistic bit of your brain should be able to argue that color cordination can work in certain circumstances but the naked eye of a man might feel otherwise.
Fahmy & I looking pretty... erm... lost This guy stole the limelight of the whole event The emo Darth Vader - I kid you not!
