This concert was amazing. They alternated old songs and then new songs from their new album, which are growing on me. Their energy is always super amazing. They played Kitty second, and right before the “kitty rear up and scratch me through my jeans” lyric, they cut IMMEDIATELY into playing “superstition” by Stevie Wonder. It was seamless and made for an amazingly mashup. I screamed my face off cuz I love that song too. Then, just as quickly as they cut, they cut right back into Kitty. I can honestly say that screaming “MEYOW” along with a venue full of people is nothing short of religious pilgrimage for me. (Just last Saturday I believe I was in a venue full of people screaming “PENIS”, which, in it’s own ways, was quite religious in itself.)

If you’re familiar with the song “Old Man on the Back Porch,” they busted that mofo out pretty crazy. During the ‘rant’ part where the ‘old man’ tells a story, in the story, the old man says he hears a knock on his door, and was visited in the story by Wayne Kramer of the band MC5. Then he hears another knock on his door and was visited by Weird Al Yankovick. The tangent was met with a lot of confused cheers but needless to say my ears perked up.

The show wrapped up, they had played all of my favorite songs, and you could feel the obligatory encore coming up. After an amusingly short cheer session, they came back out for an encore.

Then, for an encore, another guy came out. Turns out it was indeed the lead guitarist, Wayne Kramer, from MC5, to play the PUSA song “Kick out the Jams,” which I’ve now learned is a half-cover of the MC5 song. (Half-cover in that the melody and the chorus are covers but the rest of the lyrics aren’t covers.) Which looking back was pretty awesome. The exciting part of this, however, was the simple math I had done in my head regarding the previous foreshadowing.

They then played another song I think, and when that ended, and people could catch their breath, mister Wierd Al Yankovick walks the fuck onto the stage with a god damned accordion. I totally knew it, it was completely obvious, but I was hung up on what the hell they could possibly sing… I was going through the PUSA catalog in my head and the only things that were left were some of my favorite songs off obscure singles they released. Sure enough, they didn’t play a PUSA song, but busted out More Then a Feeling by Boston. Weird Al is amazing singer, totally got into the song, and fucking … rocked? on his accordion. There was a fan up on the stage, which I didn’t notice of course because Chris doesn’t have hair, but Weird Al times all of his rocking solos by standing in front of the fan and letting his curly hair waft in the breeze, honestly, it was amazing…. hahaha. We were all literally saying WHAT THE FUCK. IT’S WEIRD AL. HOLY SHIT. OH GOD. The song choice was hilarious, too, because it’s such a Guitar Hero song. Easily one of the most memorable concerts I’ll have ever gone to for this moment alone.

As an aside, Weird Al I think produced their latest music video, so I’m sure he was helping them out or wanting to or whatever. I don’t know, however, if they are on tour with them.

This is the shit I go to concerts for. So awesome.

I gave them 80 of my dollars for two t-shirts, and two CDs.

OOMG OMG OMG OMG!@!!

The game offers two game modes. The first, which is fully real time, offers a spectacular gameplay. Intense battles between blocking linemen and daring displays of agility of players leaping and dodging through opponents tackle zones, while powerful spells and dirty trick special plays are unleashed across the pitch; all this creates a highly charged atmosphere. Of course, since it is sometimes difficult to keep an eye on the entire field at once, the game’s interface offers different tactical and strategic setups, while the AI is responsible for managing the players on the field.

The second game mode, an actual turn-based game, is a treat for players of the original board game because it is an exact replica of Games Workshop’s tabletop masterpiece. The original rules have been faithfully reproduced, and it contains all of the devices, strategies, play and rhythm of the original game.

OH GOD THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

I’m not a purist usually but the board game was so much fun. I played it so much with my one friend that we knew the rules like the backs of our hands and we could play a game really quickly. I’ve always liked boardgame adaptations of games, as closely as possible, because it just means you can play the game without consulting the rules. Nothing can ever replace the tactile enjoyment of moving pieces along a table but if it makes the game more appealing to play with other people then sign me up. The fact that we can play BOTH with this makes me feel like the blastoise kid plus a little N64 kid. Go find the youtubes yourself pls.

Bootleg but it’s about 80% hearable/visible. Very very cool. ekekekekekkekekekekke,

We are the Swarm
We burned a path of annihilation across the stars
And then
We vanished
Four years ago we faded into the shadows
We thrived
We evolved
Now the time has come for us to step back
Into light
Now worlds will tremble once again
Empires will fall
Alliances will shatter
We are the Swarm
But we are becoming
Much, much more
For the final metamorphosis has only just begun

I hope Anonymous grabs onto this and uses it for their poetry. I’d rather Zerg masks then V/Guy Fawks masks…

Lol whups… Donno how true it is but it’s funny.
