  • Ok, no one’s commented yet…

    I’m seeing them all tomorrow and I’m equal parts hyped on seeing some shit that I grew up with, and hesitant that the whole event is gonna be a kind of cash-grab feel to it…

    The tickets were not fucking cheap to say the least. But, originally it was supposed to Wu Tang (celebrating 30yrs since 36 chambers released) and Nas headlining. De La Soul got added after the fact, so that made the high ticket cost seem a bit more reasonable.

    Despite 36 Chambers being among the first dozen or so cassettes I ever owned, I’ve never seen more than 2 members of Wu perform together at once. Never seen Nas live, and never seen De La Soul either.

    So I’m hoping for a dope show, but going in with semi low expectations.

    If you’ve seen any shows on this tour, please do share your experiences and opinions





  • Nothing as profound as what you described there…
    But… The Last Of Us was an experience for me…

    I hadn’t played a “new” game in about 8-10 years at that point, so the huge increase in development was mind blowing to me.
    But really, the intensity of the story is what really did it for me. I legit got teary eyed in the intro, and then the burning restaurant scene made me ball my eyes out…

    Phenomenal fucking game

    Or, to bring it back to my youth… The Illusion of Gaia was probably the first game I played that made me feel things. That was so long ago, and I was so young when that came out that being specific about it is hard. But I think I really related with the main character, and I remember really feeling things during the lost-at-sea raft scene.

    I might need to go find the ROM now…

    **Or, to go a bit further back, Dragon Warrior.
    That was the first game I ever played that really captivated me. It was the first RPG I ever played, and even tho the storyline is incredibly basic and cliche, it was the first time I experienced a story at all in a video game. It’s definitely the reason that I prefer fantasy RPGs over every other type of game
