Last night he played 17 songs including encore. Got on stage at 9 and was done about 10:45 or so.

Matt went all out and was in good spirits at the meet and greet. When Shay uploads pics I will post

I won't lie, I have been hooked on Lights lately.

MGB+Calgary Stampede+Sunset+Running For Home+5000 people singing along=my favorite concert moment ever

I will pick one from each release I guess. She's Got a New Disguise Raygun (I guess) The Inescapable Us Enjoy the Silence Let's Get It On ("Down came your blackbird to suffer in my arms" is one of my favorite lyrics ever) Flight Recorder from Viking 7 Under the Influence Bright End of Nowhere We're So Heavy A Single Explosion On Nights Like Tonight How It Goes

I am totally having a shirt that says "Who's Rico?" made for the Vancouver show.

Normally I would say you are an awful person for disliking Okami, but you like Beyond Good and Evil, so that makes up for it.

Skyrim.

My favorite FF game is 8, and I also enjoyed 10 a lot. 7 was pretty decent. Must get on top of playing 6.

Finished SP portion of Battlefield 3. Some really frustrating parts (one part with cheap enemies, two parts with unclear direction regarding actions you are supposed to take, bad lighting in some spots), and story wise it was pretty run of the mill, but overall, it was still a good campaign and something I will play through again. There are a couple of really intense set pieces that I quite enjoyed. Have only spent a couple hours playing MP and I find it a little more difficult than CoD multi, but overall, I am having more fun with it I think.

Well setlist.fm lied to me then.

Apparently 99% made it into the set in Ottawa. Full band?

Because "fuck you", that's why. JK Which of us have been infected by the Thing? Other than sodamntired, naturally.

That would be Diablo 2. Diablo 3 is sometime next year I believe. Currently playing Battlefield 3. Single player is fun, but fairly run of the mill. MP I am having a blast with so far, so we will see how long that lasts.

Have watched "Hanna" a couple times in the last few weeks. Probably one of my favorite movies of the last couple years. Saw "The Thing" (2011). Not as good as "The Thing" (1982)- I felt it lacked the thing that made "The Thing" (1982) such a classic, that thing of course being the tension of not knowing who has been infected by the thing. It is still a surprise when you find out, but at the same time, going into "The Thing" (2011) after seeing "The Thing" (1982) kind of takes some of the surprise factor out of there. What I thought was really clever was the test they used to determine who was infected- crude, imperfect, but clever.

At the same time though, he is playing with 3 new musicians (yes, at this point in time, Ian Browne is a new musician for all intents and purposes), one of which came in during the last few days of rehearsals. I'm okay with them taking 20 or 25 songs and getting them supertight sounding- it's better than adding 5 or 10 more and possibly having the whole show suffer for it. And who knows, maybe some new stuff will be thrown is as they do soundchecks etc etc.

This reminds me- must go to Bang On and get a "Who the fuck is Rico?" shirt made for the show.

Yeah, don't judge anything by a video or bootleg- no matter how good, it just isn't the same as seeing it for yourself. I can't wait until December.

I should probably let my dad know that my VIP stuff is being sent to his house. Tickets just had to go on sale at a time when I didn't know if I'd be moving or not.

It is better, hurray!

Is there any way for Sticky Situations to not say "Protected Forum" when you are logged in? I'm sure there are people like me who click whatever thread is usually in that spot, as it's one of 3 that is updated semifrequently.

I can't math well.

14 songs including encore isn't too short- a bit shorter than average, but not bad.

I see that it says "LOGO" on the top of the page, I'm guessing where a log is supposed to go. And you know, things like "AnOceanPearl's photo". OTher than that, so far so good.

I really like For and Against, We Are a Place and Homecoming myself, but I can see why they were left off of the album. I remember asking Matt why "We Are a Place" was cut, and he said he felt Non Populus mopped the floor with it.
