Legend of Zelda = Best Franchise Ever. I used to hear the music from that game in my sleep. I would totally buy a ticket just to hear Zelda music. Too bad LOZ is owned by Nintendo...it would be sick on xbox.
And I thought the Star Wars Ep. 3 opening would have assembled the largest crowd of dorks in the country....guess I was wrong......Though I guess it would be cool to throw down an 1/8 of boomers and pretend to be Mario, Zelda, Solid Snake, etc....
yea dude, mario was all about the shrooms. That one little dude, his dealer most likely, wore one on his head. Wasn\'t the princess\'s name somethign to do with shrooms too? Its been a while since i\'ve played any mario.
the epitomy of geekdom...
beacon theater, sweeet i am there!
I"m really thinking about going to this, it probably will be really cool to hear/see
last fall i went to see the advantage band, covered a bunch of old school nintendo songs, it was hilarious.
3 women, 100 guys. unfortunately for me, i actually brought a date... pfffft
I hope the Castlevania piece is level 5. The first time I made it to that level, I got Nintendo goosebumps because the music was the best I had ever heard from the NES, and the wallpaper was chilling too.
