Jun. 30th, 2007 01:59 pmBen took me to see video games live last night. It was at the kennedy center which I learned is very very fancy. The show wasn't as fancy as the hype, but it as still pretty neat. While the national symphony orchestra played music, they played scenes from the games. (Except for kingdom hearts and final fantasy because square wouldn't give them permission. Disney, on the other hand did, so they were able to show clips from disney movies instead.)
They also had people play games on the giant screen. In a giant game of space invaders, they tracked the guy on the stage so his movements actually matched up to the space ship. There was also a giant game of frogger, but that wasn't motion-tracked, just big.
The finale was one-winged angel which was really impressive. It made me, temporarily, forgive square and the final fantasy series.
This morning was less pleasant. In tae kwon do class, we had special anti-rape training. We learned how to throw a guy to the ground if he grabs you, keep a guy off of you if he gets you to the ground, how to throw a guy off of you, and how to break his arm once he's on the ground. We were also taught a point in the wrist that hurts so bad, it weakens both arms. The teacher made sure I wouldn't forget the spot because he scored my wrist with his nails. I really hope that fades, because otherwise it's going to look like I tried to kill myself.
When I came home, ben cheered me up by making lunch. Now we are watching sicko. It's reeeeaally depressing.
