As I was telling Spazzer, I thought maybe it would be quite nice if we all chipped in for a copy of the game and then we could only play it when everyone who paid is there and so we can summon the Metal Gods every last friday of the month or something. What says you.
So, I ended up grabbing 6 tickets to the Ensiferum show on december 3rd. I expect the usual suspects to be there and then some, so it should be quite the romp. I'm going to present the lineup to entice the tardy ones among you to show up at the very beginning, if not to enjoy it, at least to laugh at it's folly. I tried to get the most ridiculous pictures when I could. Here is the lineup:
Swashbuckle
Yes, another freakin' pirate band. The novelty of Alestorm quickly wore off for me and now there are these guys. Considered a drollesque pirate themed punk-metal band, my limited knowledge of them probably doesn't do them justice so I'll stop here.
Blackguard
Previously known as Profugus Mortis, this Montreal Folk Metal Band is an up and comer. But like many queb bands that flirt with the genre, they leave me kind of indifferent, even if they are very talented. It will still be interesting to see them live. And yes, their album cover is strangely similar to La Maudite.
Ex Deo
Formed by a history obsessed paisan from Kataclysm, a Montreal veteran band par excellence, it is Roman themed metal. Roman! It's tantalizing but almost too much.
Hypocrisy
Swedish melodic Death. This is the kind of band I will wish I had been a fan of before seeing the show to better appreciate the event. They've been around forever and I've heard the name countless times. I couldn't even find a ridiculous picture of them. And this video is actually well produced and everything. Damn!
And Finally...
Ensiferum
It was a blast last time. With their new album being what it is, I expect an ample amount of rejoicing.
I'm puzzled as to why it starts off with Kid Icarus music and includes Super Mario sound effects but whatever, them shits be rocking:
You mask ask yourself why I posted this instead of putting the finishing touches on a menu or a feature that I'm responsible for implementing over at EA but that's because you're an asshole.
I've decided to have a gathering at my place on Friday evening. Want some Candy?
All are welcome. Also, to my knowledge, we all have things to do the next day. This obviously means that we will be even less responsible / have a better time.
Du plus petit véhicule au plus gros, ne pas être capable de transporter une personne sans l'encombrer de plusieurs centaines de kilos de ferraille et de plastique, qu'il faudra mouvoir et freiner, reste un mystère de la stupidité fondamentale que génère l'idéologie de ce type de transport, et de la faiblesse mentale de tous ceux qui s'en occupent depuis plus de cent ans. Voir texte : Les boîtes de tôles à moteur, par Denis Cheynet. Lire L'hommauto, de Bernard Charbonneau, publié il y a déjà 40 ans.
Il faut d'abord accepter le caractère aliénant, inéquitable et insoutenable, cruel et massacreur de vies, destructeur de socialisation et de sens qu'est l'automobile individuelle pour oser s'en extraire, prendre un vélo et marcher à pied le long des rues et des routes.
aahhhh... Isnt fall wonderful... wow... every day is the best during this season, especially this year. There's something about fall that gets my mojo going. Beautiful colors everywhere, nice dark misty nights, the bike rides are superb, less fat people on the streets because its cold and less comfortable... and the city just seems quieter during fall. And then there's halloween. Any of you doing something worth mentioning?
I can't get a good idea for a costume... ah well, there's always the old ghost in the sheet trick, its a classic.
