Rammstein in Las Vegas

I'm going to break with my normal tradition and post something a little more personal here. Don't worry, I'm not going all weepy emo kid on you. I'm just posting a few videos I took at a recent concert. The band is one very dear to me, Rammstein, and was the subject of two cross-country road trips in one month.

Yeah, I'm a little nuts about them.

Anyway, I took some video of the second of their concerts I saw and I think it actually came out rather well. Hardly DVD quality or anything, but for a spur-of-the-moment video I didn't expect to be at all watchable I'm fairly proud of them, despite the few instances of me woo-ing and mucking up the audio or rocking out too hard and producing shaky video.

Sue me, I was having fun.

Anyway, should you have an interest in such things, here's everything I shot. A few at the top are clips. Also, just for the record, the videos farther on are a bit better as I figured out how to trick the focus into not blowing out the lighting so much.

Waidmanns Heil

Weisses Fleisch (Clip) (<-- Flake dance!)

Feuer Frei (Clip)

Wiener Blut (Clip) (<-- Exploding laser babies!)

Ich tu dir weh

Benzin

Du Hast (<-- Upside down fire!)

Engel (<-- Epic finale)

Hellbilly Deluxe 2 Video Review

As a complement to the text review posted below, have a gander at this handy video review, which is essentially the same review as the text version, only read to you and sprinkled with spiffy audio clips so you can actually hear the music. Neat, huh?

Please let me know what you think of it. I'd be quite grateful.

Guitar Hero Smash Hits - Just the Essentials Review

In this Zestful Contemplation Just the Essentials video review, I let you know exactly what you need to know about Guitar Hero Smash Hits in order to make an informed purchase and get to the heart of the game without wasting too much of your valuable time.  It's the first in what I hope to be a series of short, to the point reviews, giving me an exercise in both conciseness and basic video editing.  

As always, if you have any feedback or suggestions, please let me know.  I'm always looking to improve.

It would appear that I made a slight mistake when posting this for the first time and made the video private when I hadn't meant to.  That would explain why not one other person ever watched it.  I've now fixed the issue and would greatly appreciate it if some of you could finally take a look at it and tell me what you think of it and whether it's worth it for me to do more of them.

This Week in Gaming - Week of February 9, 2009

Here's a little experiment I did for a new weekly feature that I think it would be fun to start doing. Who knows, maybe I'll actually stick with it. I do already have a lot of ideas for how to make the second one better. If you have any feedback, send it my way. Tell me what you think.
