serpentsatellite Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I literally can't look at any WoW footage cause I feel like a junkie and I wanna download it again and ruin my life I consider the period of my life I devoted all my spare time to hardcore raiding, despite having little to no fun and putting up with some of the worst people I've ever met, to be one of the greatest mistakes of my life so far. Just slightly behind the time I took that antibiotic that destroyed my health. And I STILL find myself wondering if I'm missing anything, and should just check it out casually. Truly a game that knows how to create or feed into addiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentsatellite Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 This seems like a really odd crowd for Muse, tbh, and I wonder how it's going to go over if they play their pop heavy US setlist there. Muse and video gaming still doesn't seem like it meshes, despite that Guitar Hero thing which actually made sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Meh, there's probs some decent crossover. Been a few years since I was one but I'm guessing they're still a fairly popular act for alternative, kinda nerdy teens. Not quite Linkin Park (who played it a couple of years ago) but, y'know, up there. Particularly Abso through TR. I mean, they've had Ozzy play there before so... but, either way, it's a video game convention gig tbf - crowd's hardly gonna be raving no matter who plays or what the set is.

kueller Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Ozzy has actually been in a WoW commercial that isn't too shocking he'd play. I don't know which came first. I've never played a Blizzard game ever and I think normal concerts smell bad enough so I'll let this one go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 It's actually a hard event to get tickets for; was totally sold out before the band was announced. I think they want people to show up who actually care about the games, and aren't just there for the band. I imagine it's not good for the band's reception, though.

BlueEyedFloozy Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Ha. WoW was seriously a factor in the breakdown of my marriage. My ex-husband hates Muse. Haaaaaaaaates them. REVENGE IS MINE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklord Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Listening to this while watching NBA and Matt sounds really good. So far they did Psycho, Hysteria and Map. Stage is really basic, only lights. Dom wearing armor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotJuley Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 The setlist from Blizzcon tonight. Psycho Hysteria Map of the Problematique Plug In Baby Stockholm Syndrome -Isolated System- The Handler Supermassive Black Hole Take A Bow (Whatever the new one's called?) Jam Dig Down Starlight Time Is Running Out Mercy New Kind of Kick Uprising Knights of Cydonia No encore (Unless the New Kind of Kick break counts?). As with most Blizzcon concerts crowd was pretty much dead. Matt wore the Overwatch character Reaper's mask a few times, and they brought out cosplayers during Knights... Appreciate the effort but it was pretty awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessicaSarahS Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 I thought the crowd looked more lively than most US tour audiences... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevermusic Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Fair play to Dom - can't have been the most comfortable experience playing a whole set in that get-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
